Senior Jliitorii Looking back after three years, we wonder how so many exciting events could be packed into such a short time. Port will long remember the unforgettable football and basketball games, with the all-time stars Charlie Zahn, Norman DeLan, Jim Car- uso, Gerry Volpe, and Victor White on the football field. Stan Cutler, A1 Dumpson, Dwight Otis, Bob Eckardt, John Wing, and Jim McNamara monopolized the basketball court. The G.A. headed by Marjory Peterson and Carole Dunnells has had a successful year. There was a large number of seniors on the various teams, including hockey, basketball, and volleyball (We’ll never forget the hilarious fac- ulty-senior volleyball game in the gym!). The class officers are to be congratulated on their fine jobs in running all of our class affairs. Jim McNamara did an excellent job as presi- dent, with Carole Dunnells as his able assistant. Kathe Quarck took care of the secretarial duties while Marjory Peterson collected the dues. Our Thespians have been outstandingly suc- cessful during the past years. As juniors we won the Inter-class play contest, with Joan Lamble, Claire Munson, Joe Greco, and Sally Brown as stars. This year our best actors in the Senior play were Astrid Quarck and A1 LaPera. Several seniors earned choice roles in the Spring play, “What a Life,” the original Henry Aldrich play. Some of those were: Herman Jacobs, Charles Price, and Allen Davies (both newcomers) Bar- bara Blanchard, Eleanor Rugen, Carole Dun- nells, and Kathe Quarck. All these maintained the prestige of the class of ’51 with their skilled performances. Our class dances have always been top pro- ductions. The most outstanding of these was the Senior Ball, “Night of Fantasy,” with surrealism, provided by Joanie Davidson and Marge Peter- son, as the theme. CLASS OFFICERS: James McNamara, President; Carole Dunnells, Vice President; Marjorie Peterson, Treasurer; Kathe Quarck, Secretary. Kathe Quarck, Valedictorian Marylou Roper, Salutatorian The seniors have worked hard on the school publication during their stay at Port High. This year, under the able direction of Fred Duell, the PORT WEEKLY published a mammoth edition celebrating its twenty-fifth year of exis- tence. Marylou Roper and Keith Bullard have both done an excellent job organizing this year’s PORT LIGHT. There are many separate incidents to remem- ber about this past year. Claire Marshall won the oratorical contest . . . Charles Price flashed his camera at the basketball games . . . Dick Littlejohn won second place in the “Journal American” history contest . , . Frank Ryan and Bob Raboud read the Bible in assembly . . . Joanie Davidson became the D. A. R. represen- tative . . . Malcolm Flack joined the Navy . . . Dwight Otis starred in the Christmas play . . . Midwinter Regents came and went . . . Kathe Quarck became valedictorian and Marylou Roper salutatorian . .. We began thinking about college . . , Spring slowly dragged around, and with it came the spring play, band concert, and spring fever . . . the Spring Carnival was a huge success . . . the final grinding review for the his- tory Regents . . . the senior banquet was held . . . graduation rehearsals took hours of practice . .. the yearbooks came out . .. and then it was here! . . . The long awaited event, graduation! . . . the solemn ceremony in caps and gowns . . . and then it was all over. These past three years have been loads of fun, and we’re sorry to leave — we’ll have lots to look forward to, so we’ll say, “So long Port, it’s been wonderful, but we’ve just begun.” Nancy Crowl 14
