a Left to right: P. Haritatos, D. Knudsen, M. Boriack, H. Lavarnway. Upon entering Rome Free Academy in 1949, our first job was the election of class officers. Pete Haritatos was elected President, with Hank Lavarnway, Barbara Schatzel, and Doris Knudsen, as vice-president, secretary, and treasurer, respectively, After the traditional sophomore job of decorating the halls for Christmas, with only two dollars in the treasury, we prepared for the Sophomore Hop. Under the interested and much appreciated guidance of Miss Katherine Clarke, we put on the most successful dance of the year, Every Sophomore participated in Moving-Up-Day, the final event of the year. “Stars Are The Windows of Heaven” was the theme of our very successful Junior Prom, held late in November. The R. F. A. gym was decorated with stars and angels depicting the theme. ” The officers were: Peter Haritatos, president; Sal Barone, vice-president; Marie Boriak, secretary; and Doris Knudsen, treasurer. Our advisor was Mr. Pelkey. After a committee chose our class rings, late in the fall, a committee started work on selecting our senior play. This is the first time a senior play was worked on in the junior year. The De-O-Wain-Sta committees were chosen and work was well under way early in our senior year. “The Curious Savage,” our Senior play, under the direction of Mrs. Bates, held November 30, was a big success. Miss Louise Kingsley acted as our advisor in our senior year. As always, the arrival of the De-O-Wain-Sta in the spring was a big event. The Senior Ball, our last big social function, was enjoyed by everyone. Excitement rose as the finishing touches were put on Class Night, Moving-Up-Day, and Commencement. Then we received our diplomas in the stadium and we were together for the last time as a class. SENIOR CLASS OFFICERS SENIOR CLASS HISTORY o™ C
