Sue Steinemonn Treosurer Senior Class As Sophomores we entered Paul D Schreib- er High School with mixed emotions Study and maturity were expected of us. We soon grew accustomed to our new surroundings and chose our leaders—Don Brant, Barbara Kezar, Lynn Porter, and Ellen Gebhart. The first big event for the sophomore girls was the G A A Splash Party, which left us the worse for wear but very happy. Celerity soon followed with an informal tea to help acquaint the girls with our school organiza- tions For boys, the soccer field was the first place where they were accepted as equals by the upperclassmen Others of us joined the band or orchestra and were re- warded for our hard work by trips to Canada and Delaware The class play, Three is a Crowd, was presented hilariously by Nina Pelikan, Pam Kagan, Steve Zousmer, Art Massolo and Katy Tuck. Their superior per- formances were applauded when they won the best play trophy. In the winter, inter- est was centered around basketball The J V. squad, composed primarily of sophomore boys, included Jack Gibbons, Dave Horton, and Enn and Mart Helder Success in track was achieved by George Nedwed, Jim Teta, John Weingart, Jim Graham and Mike Elzay The biggest event of the year for us was our dance, Soph- isticated Swing. Disc jockey, Jack Lacy, the Rhythmn Kings and two student rock 'n' roll groups made the evening a great success. Many guests will remember the bar that served cokes, and the waitresses dressed as Cigarette Girls. For the first time in a number of years, a profit was made With the Spring Carnival, our sophomore year ended. We left, proudly wearing our new class ring, with many thoughts about the up-coming year One of the first events in which we par- ticipated as juniors was the talent show, Port's-o-Poppin' . Instrumentalists Nina Pelikan, Sue Steinemann, Tim Wood and Sue Lingelbach and vocalists Judy Wilson, Kathy Matthews, and Judy Cozza did out- standing jobs At about this time, some of our boys joined Fratry. In this, our second year, Don Brant was again chosen president of the class; other officers were Steve Zous- mer, Ellen Gebhart, and Bill Nielson. Red Domino presented its annual play, Charley's Aunt. Juniors George McDermott, Steve Zousmer, Pam Kagan, and Katy Tuck starred in this comedy. This was followed by the Class Play, Mad Breakfast, starring George McDermott, Pam Kagan, Sue Redding, Nina Pelikan, Tim Wood, Bambi Grossman, and Carol Johnson. Well deserved recognition was accorded the band when it was rated one of the top ten high school bands in the country. A subsequent trip to Saugus, Mass., proved that this award was merited The varsity basketball team was ably supported by Jack Gibbons and Enn Helder, while the

Mr Pickett lends a helping hond The lost Rise J.V. team was cheered on by Lynn Porter and her girls. The girls' Color War, with its spectacular entrance and sports competition, was a highpoint no one will forget. The spring was welcomed with two big events. The first was the annual Clio trip, to Washington, D. C.( and the other was the Junior Prom, Oriental Springtime. We have locked in our minds memories of the beautiful teahouse, the fountain, the magnificent bridge, and the river that couldn't be used because it leaked Empress Louise Pfeiffer and Emperor Jack Gibbons reigned over the dance Our Senior year promised many things We looked forward to college acceptances, graduation and jobs The people we chose to guide us were Jack Gibbons, Louise Pfeiffer, Ellen Gebhart and Sue Steinemann With their help the Crystal Ball, our Senior dance, was enjoyed by everyone. This dance was so named because of the giant crystals which hung sus- pended from the ceiling, reflecting the multi-colored lights that shone upon them The highlight of the evening was the selection of the king and queen, Bob Sleght and Ellen Gebhart We were honored in our senior year to receive an exchange student, Ouphet Souvannavong from Laos. Returning from their summers in Germany and Denmark, Don Brant and Art Massolo provided us with interesting lectures which brought new-found admiration for the American Field Service and its work. Don Brant, as G O president, and Steve Zousmer, our Veep, revised the G O 's constitution to provide representation through the history classes. Though our football record left much to be desired, our team certainly didn t. Among the stalwarts were Jack Gibbons, Bob Dodson, George Nedwed, Don Gulick, and Richie Gutierrez Our soccer team was composed in part of Doug Michelson, Bill Schafer, Mike Elzay, Dave Horton and Art Massolo. The girls who cheered these boys on were led by Pris Slaney. The Portettes led by Cinny DeMeo and the Maiorettes led by Evie Reynolds displayed excellent entertainment at many activities The basketball team with seniors Jack Gibbons and Dave Horton was backed by a lot of school spirit and good wishes. This year, the orchestra visited the Concord Hotel to play in All-State Competition The band played at the football games and perfected its marching Both organizations presented well- attended concerts Red Domino entertained everyone with its musical show, Brigadoon, in which Bambi Grossman, Sally Londwer, Deidre Butler and George McDermott starred In the spring, I Remember Mama was presented with equal success Few of us will forget all that we owe to the teachers of P D.S.H.S., who have helped us on the way to achieve our goals. Nor will we forget the many friends we made and the memories we collected throughout the past year None of us will ever forget Paul D Schreiber High School The privileged few We hove the spirit . .
