Y xx . - D - if ' A A yii AL My or 1' lx! Ji , When you returned in September you were a Sophomore, established in the Sewanhalia system, no lonaer afraid, no longer anxious. You began to take it easy and realized that studies were not everythina. You lounged on the campus and in the auditorium with the air of a pro and beaan to enter into the social whirl. You were surprised at the childishness of the frosh and you sometimes slept in class. When the time came to choose class officers you balloted Marilyn Fuss to the presidency of the Class of l9,l3, Supportina votes went to Edward lliahtower as secretary, Harold Watts as viceepresident and Theclcla Adams as treasurer. You were a trifle bored in some class as- semblies but there were some that still stick in your mind like the time Captain Tim Healy spoke, or the concert by the Swing Band. This was the year you attended your first danceg youll probably never foraet that Soph Hop in April as lena as you live, You were constantly on the run dur-ina the school elec tions and when your party won you were firmly convinced of the value of school politics. Then the sophomore year was over and you were an upper clafzsmau, reddy for the second half of hiah school.

5 .MK ,B GEOR Q . E BALL I e N Now you were a junior. You had found your place in extraecurricular activities and you began to collect the veneer of brass that will be fully developed in your senior year. You noticed how classes were getting smaller and you got your first cut slip. You suddenly be- gan to realize what an important part girls play in modern-day-life and you rarely ever missed a play or dance. You still recall the wild celebration in the locker room after the football team thrashed Hempstead last Fall. You were only a substi- tute but you played long enough to be pre- sented with a letter at the Dads Club banquet at the season's end. When the ballots for class officers were counted it was found that George Ballard was the new president. His fellow winners were Bessie Burden, vice-president, Bob Distler, treasurer, and Carol Bright, secretary. That No- vember Warren Nicholl was chosen to edit the Totem and the juniors began work on their annual contribution to the school. You'll never forget the junior rings. You were on the ring committee and held out for one design while the rest of the Committee wanted another. You gave in and wouldn't trade your ring now for any other. ARD , L s RICH T 1 808 DISTLER This was the year that the class council really came across with some exceptional as- semblies, especially the concert by the Buck- nell Glee Club last February that set you hum- ming Casey Iones and Frankie and Iohnny for days afterwards. You certainly worked hard on the Iunior Valentine Dance in February but you were well repaid by the most successful tea dance of the year. A little later you received one of the biggest thrills of your high school career when you were selected for membership in the National Honor Society along with twenty- nine other juniors whose school records were exceptional. Most of the fellows this Spring were out every afternoon playing lacrosse. You never got to play regularly but you had a great time on the bus excursions and still have some colorful bruises to show for the season's activities. And you'll never forget what your mother said to you after the evening reception on April 22 . . . fine program and so on-but some teacher got to her and gave a play by play account of your conduct in sixth period math.
