Entering in September as a Junior gave you a sense that you were growing up and would soon be on your own in this wide world with many responsibilities. Class officers were elected: President, James Majeskey; Vice-President, Barbara Goclowski; Secretary, Patty Molloy; Treasurer, Sondra Kellogg; and Student Council Representative, Bar- bara Filipek and Kenneth Kulesza. You lost two students and gained two: Shirley Niksa, a transfer from Northampton High School, and John Baker, a transfer from Frontier Regional. That year you were in charge of initiating the humble Freshmen by having them perform ridiculous stunts and long speeches. In the middle of this unforgettable year, each one of you Juniors was required to deliver a declamation before the entire student body. Ten of you lucky people were then chosen to say your declamations at the Town Hall with Sondra Kellogg and Kenneth Kulesza coming to the top as the winners! You then ad- journed this year with the Junior Prom Rhapsody in Blue. The hall was beautifully decorated in various shades of blue. Then it came - your Senior year! Your classmates elected to serve as your class officers were: President, James Majeskey; Vice- President, Paul Labbee; Secretary, Barbara Novak; Treasurer, Sondra Kellogg; and three Student Council Representatives, Barbara Goclow- ski, Robert Dulaski, and Kenneth Kulesza. One of the highlights of this year was the Senior Play entitled Class Ring. You will certainly never forget your Washington Trip with its picturesque sights and un- forgettable times. On Commencement day, you stood on the stage of the Town Hall, wearing graduation caps and gowns, and waiting for the moment when you would receive your diploma. Like all other Senior classes, you were sorry to leave, but eager to start your life in this great world.

THIS IS YOUR LIFE — CLASS OF 1960 In 1956, you were one of the thirty-three timid freshmen enter- ing Smith Academy. Since then the school has never had a dull moment. You were very happy to welcome two new pupils: Patty Molloy, a transfer from Northampton, and Sondra Kellogg, a transfer from Williamsburg. Under the trustworthy leadership of your class advisor, Mr. Symancyk, you held your first class meeting to elect your officers for the forthcoming year: President, Kenneth Kulesza; Vice-President, Richard Sadoski; Secretary, Betty Stempel; Treasurer, Edward Malinowski; and Student Council Representative, James Majes- key. After becoming accustomed to your environment, you were allowed to put on your first dance on April 26 which was a complete success. As the ending of your freshman year drew near, many of you were thinking how fast the year had gone by and about all the wonder- ful and eventful days to be remembered forever. After a restful summer, you came back to pick your class officers for the Sophomore year. They were: President, Kenneth Kulesza; Vice-President, Patty Molloy; Secretary, Barbara Goclowski; Treas- urer, James Majeskey; and Student Council Representative, Edward Malinowski. John Karakula joined your class in September and you very glad to welcome him. Remember how excited you all were the day you received your class rings? How thrilled you felt to have the security of belonging to Smith Academy and be part of its functions! That was the year you put on two school activities: The Autumn Leaves Hop and the Lollipop Hop. Many of your classmates went out for sports and did a fine job!
