SENIOR CLASS ADVISOR AND OFFICERS But then our junior year was filled with many other activities. Twenty of us had elected Stanley Cybulski to be our guiding light, with Jeanette Zalenski as vice-presi- dent, Arlene Pelc as scribe and Sylvia Raffa as treasurer. We named Jane Dugal and Donald Bryant to speak for us at the Student Council. Sports, as usual, called Edwin Smith, Donald Bryant, Richard Woloss, and Stanley Cybulski to play basketball, and Edwin Smith and Richard Woloss, to play soccer. Don Bryant ' s absence was felt very much at the end of junior year, both in sports and in school, because of his transfer to Northampton High. Although the senior play benefited the seniors, we felt that we had much to do with its success, for Jane Dugal had the lead, with Fred Belden, Carl Wendoloski, Anne Faszcza, and Judy Ryan with leading supporting roles. Another important event was filled with joy and sadness in our junior year — that was the fact that we took over the square dance concessions at the Town Hall on March 2, only to have it taken away from us because the dances were stopped. We felt pretty low, as we depended on this concession for money to finance our trip to Washington. So we went back to The M. for comfort; and, as usual, he told us, Where there ' s a will there ' s a way. A way there was, as you can see by noting how we raised money for our Senior Trip. Another event which took place in our junior year was the acquir- ing of a new class advisor, because of Mr. Cassidy ' s leaving — our choice was Mr. Bas- tin, the new coach. Well, our last year came and — well, let ' s let The Megaphone tell you all about our last year in S. A. It was a fall day when I had looked out my window in 1949, and today, three years later, I was doing the same — this time I looked out to see groups of students enter- ing the old academy — and this time I recognized the same faces I had seen before, but three years had made a difference — they were confident of themselves and could be the joy and pride of any high school. I attended their first class meeting and found them electing John Brassord as president; Jeanette Zalenski, vice-president; Pauline Sadow- ski, secretary; and Richard Woloss, treasurer. They also chose Stanley Cybulski, Judy Ryan and Sylvia Raffa to represent them in running the affairs of the school in the Student Council. Remembering the advice I had given them, they set out to make money. They planned a food sale first, which proved to be very successful. Then came the card party. As I sat there and watched the business-like faces of these students, I felt how qualified they were to go on their own next year, after commence- ment. Plans were also made for another food sale in the coming months. As usual, this class of 1953 saw many of its members out for extra-curricular activities. Boys ' sports claimed Ed Smith and Richie Woloss for the varsity basketball. Girls ' sports saw Jane Dugal, Sylvia Raffa, Judy Ryan and Dotty Pelis out for the varsity squad. Dramatics — oh yes — I went to the play, We Shook the Family Tree and enjoyed it immensely from my front row seat, watching the hilarious family of Judy Ryan, as Hildegarde, raise the family tree and more. In their senior year the students really came out for the school ' s publications. The yearbook, The Echo, had Fred Belden as editor and Sylvia Raffa and Carl Wendoloski were the co-editors of the school paper.
