Memories of 1962 . . . In September 1962, twenty -one students entered the now familiar halls of Smith Academy as juniors. With Mr. Galvin, a new member of the fac- ulty, as our class advisor, the first class meeting was held. Officers were elected and plans were made for a dance entitled Autumn Sunset, which was held on October 6. Ken Griffin served as the disc jockey. Shortly after the first of the year, the students began preparing for their junior declamations. Ten students from the class were chosen to speak at the Town Hall, where Peggy Wilkes and Frank Godek won first prize. The highlight of our junior year was the prom, which was held at the Lord Jeffery in Amhenst on May 26. Twenty -three couples danced to the music of Richie Kmon. Barbara Yarrows and her escort led the Grand March at the climax of which Sandy Nartowicz was crowned queen of the prom. Student Council repre- sentatives for the year were Jeanne Zembiski and Daniel Snook. J. Kabat, B. Yarrows, P. Wilkes, Jo. Zembiski. 26
