CLASSES Class 706 With three and three quarter years of their High School life gone by, the Seniors of 706 are rounding out their education in stylish fashion. In their time at Power they have made a fine reputation for themselves in the fields of sports, hobbies, extra-curricular ac- tivities and in intellectual ability. They are devoted to their hoopla, and the cagers include Ed Joyce, john Martin and Bill Goff, to mention a few. Tanksters Ed Wiegand. Pete Toner, and Paul Corboy help make up the group who go in for water sports. Foot- ball has many advocates, especially john Elfring, Tom Molloy, Tom Clifford and Joe DiGiacomo. Too bad there are no class teams. 706 would surely be on top with their sturdy men. Now that baseball is coming, many are starting to warm up their pitching arms and batting eves, Rodriguez R11 loran Fahv and Nlollov, to cite a few and all will go out for Xarsitv next month, if time permits, for 706 ers have many diversified occupations to keep them busy The trackmen include Bob Lueck and Paul Corboy the former also throw ing shotput for the Senior Division Nlany of their classmates, 1n fact, quite a majoritv keep themselves busy after school hours with their hobbies Pho tography IS one of these and B1ll Goff Ralph Della Cava and Tony La Bua are the rooms shutter fans Tonv IDCI d tally, is Photo Ed of The Power 'hem LnBu.i ,lolm Martin.
