Class H irto S we reminisce over our four pleasant years of life at Seneca, the swiftness with which these years have passed seems unbelievable. With our applicationaccepted,our career at Seneca began. Our first year began in crowded annexes where we were isolated from the Big Wheels at the main building. This condition greatly hindered our chances for partici- pation in varsity sports, but a fine program of intramural sports was provided for us. Mr. RobertE. May replaced Mr. LaVerne H. Engel, our principal, whowas transferred to the main building as assistant principal. Before the Christmas recess, we attended the Christmas Assembly at the main building, a memorable one, because it was our first real high school assembly. In May, we saw the much talked about Variety Show presented by a talented group of students from Lackawanna High School. Mr. Majerowski, who arranged this program, became an ex- tremely popular person. fWas it because he was respons- ible for the abundance of feminine pulchritude?j When we arrived for our sophomore year we were out to convince the upperclassmen just how well we could per- form athletically and scholastically. Some of the outstand- ing athletes we gave to varsity clubs were Norbert Lazarski, Bernard Cwiklinski, Robert Reime, and Philip Mickulsky. Mr. Boehmer, because of illness, resigned as head football coach and was replaced by Mr. John Novak, formerly afootball player at the University of Notre Dame. In November, the class was organized, and we elected Bernard Cwiklinski, president, William Eldridge and William Bolden, first and second vice-president, Paul Becker, secretary, Andrew Soos, treasurer, and Donald Douglas, historian. We establishedafine scholastic re- cord by earning our share of honor roll awards. The most memorable events of this year were the coal strike, which gave us a month's vacation, and the winning of the track championship. At the beginning of our junior year, we had no idea that it wodld result in the finest athletic year our school has ever seen. We started our record-breaking year as runner-up in cross-country competition. In football, our powerful team excited the city by upsetting Kensington's twenty-four game winning streak by a score of I3 to 7. ln basketball, we emerged as co-champions with Emerson. Our track team again romped over all its competitors and brought another track trophy to the halls of Seneca. To complete our triumphant sportscurriculum,ourflashybase- ball team won its league but lost in the playoff to Riverside in Offerman Stadium. To reward us for our fine athletic performance, we were awarded the Butler Trophy, which symbolizes all'around athletic supremacy of the vocational schools. One of our fellow juniors, Frank LoCicero, brought honor to our class by earning his place on the All- Vocational Track Team. Qther highlights of the year were the purchase of new draperies for our auditorium, the painting of the building, the installation of an applause meter to be used for our pep assemblies, and the promotion of Mr. Engel as our new principal and Mr. William E. Pritchard as assistant principal, as a result of Mr. Richard A. Reagan's retirement. To represent our class, we elected Robert Hetzendorfer, president, Donald Marx, vice-presi- dentp Anthony Menza, treasurer, andJohn Hudik, secretary. As seniors we accepted our studies and activities more seriously for this was the last year of formal education for most of us. In organizing our class, we made wise choices in selecting Richard Doll as president, Jack Peters, vice- president, Richard Scarafia, secretary, and David Burg- stahler, treasurer. ln the fall, our cross-country team brought glory to the school by racking up the championship with the lowest score in Seneca's history. Our football team displayed excellent performance by winning its league championship and by playing in the Thanksgiving Day Game. Three of our football players, Paul Becker, Richard Doll, and Norbert Lazarski, gained positions on the All- High Football Team. Our basketball, baseball, h'ack,and tennis teams all recorded fine performances in each of their leagues. The school was kept well informed on school events through the WARRIOR, the school paper, which was excellently edited by William Eldridge. The CHIEFTAIN, under the editorship of Donald Marx, surpassed in every way those of previous years. A new portable movie pro- jector and a new sound recorder made our English and science classes more enjoyable. The end of our senior year. was marked by our unforgettable prom and cramming for the final examinations. The big day-graduation-finally arrived, bringing us one step forward toward our life careers. These years of exuberant satisfaction and accomplish- ment will forever be impressed on our minds as one of our stepping stones to success.
