HISTORY In the beginning of our closing year in high school we elected our senior officers, headed by Fred Van Deusen as President. The other officers being Jeanne Driscoll, our Vice President, Roger Sherman, our Secre- tary, and Joe Lenz, our Treasurer. Fred Van Deusen and Anne Hughes put in the good word for the seniors as representatives in Student Council. As for our rep- resentatives in the Athletic Association, Kathleen Bar- ber and Edward Archer were elected. The atmosphere at our Christmas Dance was joyous and bright, in the true Holiday Spirit. In April, that great day finally arrived when we left on the long-awaited trip. It was a marvelous experience from the time we stepped on the bus until the time we returned to Schuylerville, happy but ex- hausted. Now we are looking forward to greater heights to achieve. As we go out into the great country of ours may we remember the many things we learned and the great experiences we had together as the class of ’55. Good-bye, now, and good luck. P.S. By the way, we want to remind you again of the Senior Ball, entitled “Silver Bells.” Those intermission programs were really great. We will undoubtedly long treasure those gifts that Santa brought us on that gay holiday evening. PERSONAL ACHIEVEMENTS Boy’s State—Roger Sherman.
