SENIOR CLASS OFFICERS PRESIDENT — Shepard Scheinberg VICE-PRESIDENT — Barbara Kruszeski SECRETARY — Charles Papish TREASURER — Louis Waski IN RETROSPECT Let us think back over our high school years. In our freshman year, after getting acquainted, we elected our class officers: Edward Sujeski, Joan Anderson, Faye Lewin, and Nancy Gendron. A great honor was bestowed on us at the Halloween Dance, for our decorations won first prize. We cannot forget our square dance and the king and queen, Shep and Barbara. Our picnic at Wild- wood was another unforgettable event. Our sophomore year found us more at ease. This year our officers were Shep Scheinberg, Irving Wilcox, Faye Lewin and Walentina McBurnie. The Sopho- more Hop was a success. We selected our rings and waited impatiently for them to arrive. As juniors we were upper classmen at last. Pat Twomey, Louis Waski, John Reeve and Natalie Wivczar were our officers. Among the exciting events of the year was the Junior Prom. Having reached the apex of our high school years, we found ourselves in a whirl. First, we elected our President, Shep Scheinberg, along with our other officers Barbara Kruszeski, Charles Papish, and Louis Waski. Then came our senior pictures and measuring for caps and gowns. In January we held our ball, “Star Dust.” Then came June with moving up chapel and class night. Finally, graduation! 16

No school buses transported the dozen of the class of 1899. The fortunate ones rode in carriages, but most were forced to travel on foot. In the evening homework was done by the light of kerosene lamps. For amusement there was the family Ouija d or a game of Whist. Most of the hundred seniors of today have no difficulty with transportation, for school buses and private cars have solved the problem. Electricity has replaced the former means of illumination, and televi- sion and radio have become the chief sources of entertainment. Time has altered life greatly in these fifty-six years.
