BACCALAUREATE CELEBRATION On the morning of Graduation Day the parents, relatives and friends of the graduating class gathered together at St. Francis de Sales church to participate with the seniors in the Baccalaureate Mass. The Mass was said with the intention that these seniors would make use of the education and Christian training which they had received and thus accomplish all that was expected of them. The Mass was said by our principal, Fr. Gorg, who also delivered the sermon. He also mentioned that we should never forget what we had learned nor should we stop trying to better ourselves. After the Mass breakfast was served, for the graduates and those who attended the Mass, in the cafeteria of the school. 162

SENIOR PROM On Friday evening, April 13th, 1956, the senior class presented the Parisian Holiday at the Hall of Mirrors. Barney Rapp and his orchestra were present to provide the entertainment and apparently did a good job as the dance floor was crowded most of the night. The Hall, which is in the Netherland Plaza Hotel, was probably the best decorated of any high school prom on record. Mr. Vincent Wynne presented the prom attendants and the king and queen with their gifts. The second attendant was Dick Favret, and his lady was Sally Yaegers. The first attendant was William Pilder and his lady was Joan Providenti. The king was Garrett Frey and his queen was Sue Smith. The Grand March took place after the crowning of the king and queen. The March included the crowning of the Blessed Virgin Mary and was concluded with a waltz in honor of the king and queen.
