Our class president is next on the list, Carol Neild must never be missed. For there is no other gal who is as great, To all of us she is date bait. N is for Neild, often called Jerry, Once to us he seemed too quiet. Now he is noisy and very merry, And to us all he is really a riot. Romeo, Romeo, where art thou '? We're going to ask you to step up now. what has Kenny been doing these days? Nothing! Just exerting his charming ways. Next in line comes Lucy, our baby, She is young, little, and neat. We'1l have you know she's a perfect lady, when fun is mentioned, she can't be beat. Betty steps into the limelight now, She sways curtsies, and takes her bow. We know her history which is not very dim, There is no more room. Just take good car Bertha our dark haired, bashful, cutie, Is the treasurer of our small class. She is always there, alive, on duty, When she's not called on, alas! Sampson, tall, slim and boney, Is a good friend of us all. V We all think he is a real honey, On the floor with the basketball. The comedian, the actress, the vocalist, lt's Sylvia Smith's name next on our list. This young girl has real talent, And to all of us she's really gallant. U is for Upright, the last in our pack, For curing she really has the knack. A nurse she says she'd like to be. We all hope she'll do famously. e of Jim

Glass Jlglsfory In the Autumn of 1952 we started our freshman year with the usual swelled- heads of freshmen. Early in the year the sophomores initiated us which event brought us to the conclusion that we weren't so big after all. We had nine- teen members in our class. Janet Taylor left for New Jersey in the middle of the year. We were very Droud to have been the class to sell the highest amount of the quota set for each class during the annual sale of magazines. This honor earned us an ice-cream party provided by the seniors. Anne Malinski won the trophy and a five dollar bill for selling the most magazines. Officers for the year were: President, James Stanton, Vice President, Kenneth Neild, Secre- tary, Carol Neild, Treasurer, Norma Upright. Our advisor was Mr. Stephen Katchen. We returned as sophomores on a rainy day in September with seventeen mem- bers. Sandra Jessup did not return to school, she went to Thompson High School. We gained one member, Irene Jackson, from Waymart, which gave us eighteen members. Raymond Springer left us in the fall. Now we had seventeen members. To put some money in the bank and forward our way to Washington we raffled a jewelry set, lantern, and a doll. Barbara Laskowski and Norma Upright were May Queen Attendants. Our officers for the year were: President, Barbara Laskowskig Vice President, Kenneth Neild, Secretary, Anne Malinski, Treasurer, Kathryn Bloomer. Our advisor was Miss Catherine Kuzmack. On a colorful fall day in September of 1954, we came back as proud juniors. Sandra Jessup again joined our group of juniors. Irene Jackson started her junior year at Honesdale High School. Now we were twelve ladies and six gentlemen. On the first day of school, we ordered our class rings. We re- ceived the rings in October. In April we held a Poverty Stricken Dance which earned us a tidy sum. Two weeks later was the big event for us, The Prom under the supervision of Miss Anne Marie Holmes. Norma Up- right and Carol Neild were May Queen attendants. In April the seniors turned the candy and ice cream over to us. O11r officers for the year were: President, Norma Upright, Vice President, Gerald Sampson, Secretary, Carol Neildg Treasurer, Bertha Roney. Our advisor was Miss Ann Marie Holmes.
