Class History Friends and Classmates: Those four golden years — will we ever for- get them? Initiation, homework, school parties, basketball games, proms, the tournament, D.R. ' s, and all of the other things that can be associated with the best four years of our lives. We entered Smith Academy in September, 1947. We were not an unusual class — we were just as confused and bewildered as any of you were. We wandered around the halls not know- ing where to go. We went into the wrong classes at the wrong time. It took time and effort to get used to the new atmosphere, but we did it and then settled down to our new routines. As we started on the journey that would prepare us for our futures, we elected class officers. Our new president was Phyllis Kochan; vice-president, Marilyn Pelc: secretary, Nancy Barsh: and treas- urer, Chester Foster. In the spring of our freshman year, we sponsored the annual spring dance. It was a gala affair with dancing, eating, and prizes. We think of our freshman year as one of the most exciting of our high school days. As we stepped into our sophomore year, again we elected officers. Boys dominated the high offices with Robert Hojnoski, president; Donald Jandzinski, vice-president; Francis Godin, secre- tary; and Donald Breor, treasurer. The Hal- lowe ' en Party which we gave in October was our only social venture of the year. Next came our junior year, which proved to be the busiest of the four. Our officers were: Donald Jandzinski, president; Eugene LaFrance. vice-president; Robert Hojnoski, secretary; and Henry Kabat, treasurer. In September of this year we initiated the Class of 1953. A good time was had by all, because the freshmen were cooperative and willing to go along for a good time. The spring of the junior year was dreaded by all, since everyone had to participate in the Junior Declamation Program. Ten students from the class — five girls and five boys — were selected for the Prize Speaking Contest. Marilyn Pelc and Eugene LaFrance carried off the top honors for the girls and boys, respectively. In March of our junior year we took over the Square Dance concession on Saturday nights, which proved to be quite a money maker. And last, but not by any means least, came our senior year. Elected officers for the year were Donald Jandzinski, president; Eugene LaFrance, vice-president; Nancy Barsh, secre- tary: and Henry Kabat, treasurer. Besides spon- soring a Square Dance to raise funds for the Washington trip, many of the students of the (Continued on J. V. Cheerleaders Page)
