647,155 Adfory GREEN FRESHMEN: Mystified - anxious - proud-our dream of being in high school had at last come true. We were now in a haven of homerooms, assemblies, games, dan- ces, clubs, gym classes Koh, my achin' backlt-and we loved it. Our Freshman Party was one of the best ever held. MEMORIES: Dee Fircak met her one and only, lrene Wilcox was as shy as could be, lquite a changeli, Dee Panaride was our cheerleader, John Roscoe didn't sleep in classes lbeing a Freshman was too fascinating, Eu- gene Celin was only five feet tall, Roger Rigatti didn't even look at girls, Charles Cook didn't have any wor- ries, Norma and lris started the ban9s fad, Pauline Spencer showed her ability in playing basketball, Jimmy Fischer winked at a girl, Edna Engel's sincere enthusiasm toward her classes, Frank Pust pulled down the window blind and it fell on his head, Nancy Bretschneider's prim, graceful ways, Daniel Mozley ioined the football squad and thus become one of the best little tackles Snowden ever had. SUPER SOPHOMORES: Nobody could tell us anything now, JAU for we knew the school inside out and were Masters of all the tricks and we were up and coming in our sec- ond enioyable year at S. T. H. S. Considered as eligible candidates for members of the Y- Teens and the Hi-Y, most everyone in our class took the advantage of being initiated-advantage? l 'il ? ? Why Jimmy Simmons couldn't sit down for a month and Jes- sie Dalrymple couldn't get out of the habit of talking baby-talk. We were put in the lime-light by the presen- tation of a Christmas play, which proved that we were talented. REMEMBER WHEN: Carmine Vara came to S. T. H. S. lhe was an immigrant from Betheli, Leo Cerar broke his arm fwaving at the girlslj, Polly Noble burst her lip open tobogganing, Tom Smith fell on the floor lwonder who pulled the chair?J Evelyn Pope thought it was Sat- urday and stayed home, Jeannie Russell, Ellen Kastroll, and Jean Sebastian missed the shcool bus and walked to school Cohhl their achin' feetlj NTY JUNIORS: This was one of our most exciting years, even though we worked our fingers to the bones in our classes l???J and to raise funds for the Junior-Senior Prom. Our first event was a Hallowe'en Dance at Buf- falo Inn. Recall how Eddie Butler and Joe Lasko tried to scare everyone with their false faces. The Valentine Dance we held was magnificent with romantic decora- tions which only Junior geniuses could originate. Char- lotte Kaufman cut out so many decorative paper hearts, she almost cut out her own. SOP The Skeleton Walks , our play directed by Mrs. Lenhart, was labeled terrifying, but terrific . Remember when Jack Lee was due on stage in two minutes and couldn't find his skeleton outfit, and when Carl Lickovitch was sup- posed to catch Margaret Condie when she fainted in the last act. Shirley Marzoch and Hattie Barnett collected so many tickets from the performances that they had to bor- row a bushel basket. Right after Christmas, our class rings arrived and every- one was emphasizing their hands. The prom, including moon-light, roses, and Tommy Carlyn's Orchestra came and ended all too soon, iust as did our Junior year. We then became ------- HISTICATED SENIORS: We were at lost on the top, and at the end of our iourney through high school. Our last year kept us quite busy with the publishing of the year- book, taking graduation pictures, selling Christmas cards, writing out name cards, ordering announcements, and planning land saving, for our Senior trip to Wash- ington. Under the leadership of our home-room teachers, Mr. Markley and Mrs. Lenhart, we were confident and reached our highest achievement. Our play, Susie the Siren ,carefully coached and directed by Mrs. Lenhart, was an academy award winner. Sirens were awarded to the great performers, Anne Brooks, and Walter Hallam. A big, red apple was awarded to the English teacher, played by Stella Sharick and Audrey Waggett was given a carton of bubble gum for portraying the brat . REMEMBER: Bobby Bastianini was the only boy in a typ- ing class of thirty girls, the didn't seem to mind and Neither did the girlsj, Zita Porochowyk was'the first in the class to get engaged, Donald Gadd and Kaye Noble were inseparable, Helen Mogyoros, Margie Semko and Mary Kulish Thieret fell hard, Cbank! I U for a certain Freshman cheer- leader, were called, The Three Musketeers , William Doreen Kupcha was a Y-Teen Model Cwhistlelllj, Margie Neil was the only Senior who didn't break the camera while taking graduation pictures, Gerry Framan- checlds horn rimmed glasses were envied by everyone, Emma Smulick and her taxi CBobJ waiting for her, Lin Stimmel showing his wallet to all the boys Cmighty cute girls!!!J,Walter Proctor's song in assembly, Gladys Gog- gins making the Seniors cry when she sings her torch songs, Bill Parish and his constant blushing. The end of this year had come all too soon, and proud as we were, there were lumps in our throats and many tears shed on Graduation Day-even coming from those who hadn't liked school. We received our reward-dip- lomas, and as alumni, we stepped forward in the world to ioin the Class of American Citizens. Irene Wilcox

The sets were constructed and painted by the crew who also made the staircase, painted the scenery, and did numerous iobs to make the stage look like a real home. Properties were borrowed, and put in shape, and others man- aged the lights, curtain, and sound equipment. We must not forget the unseen actors, the girls behind the stage-better known as, prompters. So, you see, it's not iust the actors to whom the credit should be given, but all those who worked to make the play a complete success. L 'I9
