ln September of 1942, 106 bright-eyed fresh- CLASS OFFICERS GEORGE Vm ................... President MODERNO SCIAMANNA . . . . . . Vice President IOYCE HARRISON ..... ..... S ecretary Rocco MILLER . . . . . . Treasurer Senior History men started their high school careers. They knew nothing of high school life and in the first few days spent considerable time getting lost in halls and stairways. This was soon over- come, however, and the class proved to be a very promising one. In -the month of March. they held a program in honor of St. Patrick and all other great men whose birthdays came in this month. In April they appeared once again on the stage and put on an Easter pageant. The girls worked hard at their sewing and the boys at their shop-work, and in May they displayed the fruits of their labor art a P.T.A. meeting in the form of a fashion show and handicraft ex- Ten hibition. At the end of the term the class had dwindled down to 92. After a restful summer vacation 76 students enrolled as sophomores. They held no social events this year. Instead they bent most of their efforts toward gaining knowledge. They were shy, serious sophs -so different from their noisy, bold upperclassmen. Some of the more athletic boys and girls tried out for basketball. thus giving the 'sophs' recognition in the sports' program of the school. These hardworking sophomores left in Iune with a membership of 70. Once again fall came and with it 66 juniors. Early in the school term, class officers were chosen. They were George Viti, president: Frank Kollar, vice president: IoAnn Kelchner, secretary: and Ioyce Harrison, treasurer. Les- sons seemed far less important than they did in the sophomore year. To earn enough money for the annual junior-senior prom was this year's aim. To do this, the juniors first put on a program featuring a hypnotis-t. Later under Mr. Harvey's direction, they produced a com- edy called HTell It To The Marines which proved to be a big hit. It was now time for the biggest event of the year -- the junior-senior prom. The ambitious juniors were determined not to be surpassed in this affair. They under- took to revive the traditional custom of enter- taining the seniors at a banquet preceding the junior-senior prom. This banquet was held at Hotel Sterling in Wilkes-Barre, and a splendid time was had by all. Thus ended another event- ful year in the lives of 63 juniors. Then came the climax. the senior year, and with it 57 veterans of the junior class. Officers were again chosen. George Viti was re-elected as president: Moderno Sciamanna became our vice presidentg Ioyce Harrison, secretary: and Rocco Miller, treasurer. ln the latter part of November, a cast of inspiring young actors and actresses under Miss Martin's direction, gave the audience some fine entertainment in the hil- arious comedy, 'iThe High School Mysitery. lnterscholastic football was revived in S.H.S. in the autumn of 1945, and several husky sen- iors took their places in the line-up. Cheerlead- ers were chosen in a general assembly: five of the seven appointed were from the senior class. From the twirlers, Mary Bloss was selected as drum majorette and Mary Mingoia as head twirler. Next to occupy the attention of the seniors was the Legend, which they vowed would be an outstanding issue. All too soon the high school days of the senior class came to an end. After class night and commencement it was with heavy hearts that they bid farewell to their classmates, teachers, and dear Alma Mater. CHRISTINE BoLiNsKi Class Historian
