For us, who are about to complete our high school career, one very important phase of our journey through life is over. The joys, sorrows, pleasures, and disappointments ever present in the life of every student have been ours. Tears of regret now mingle with smiles of satisfaction as we receive our yearbooks and look forward to graduation, the final step on this stage of our journey. But whence have we traveled? In September 1957 on a bright morning we began our days as Fresh¬ men at SHS. Those first few days were like a Chinese Checker board to us . . . schedules, lockers, supplies, classrooms, teachers, classmate . . . and of course upperclassmen. But everyone made us feel at home and the time fairly flew by. The spirit of helping others enabled us to sponsor two successful dances, Junior High Jubilee and June Jamboree. At these dances many new friendships were formed which have grown strong through the years. We also were able to establish a treasury. After a wonderful summer vacation, we entered our Sophomore Year and held our class elections immediately. To guide us on our way to adulthood, we selected John Cantella, President; Madeline Raposa, Vice President; Beverly Verros, Secretary; William Silva, Treasurer; Jeanne Audet, Girl Councillor; Dennis Maggiacomo, Boy Councillor. Our second a ssignment as a group was to plan a skit for our first Case rally. Michael Lennon and Nancy Neher served as co-chairmen. We weren ' t winners, but we learned that it is necessary to work together. The annual Christmas Dance, Snowflake Swirl, planned by Barbara Golden and Forrest Wil¬ liams, was a financial success. Another June, and with it another gradua¬ tion . . . What did a graduation mean to us? Graduation meant VACATION to the Silly Sophs! After a brief respite, summer vacation, we began another year. We had learned a thing or two. We were Juniors! We knew how it felt to Upperclassmen! Helping to pilot us on our way to success were the follow¬ ing: William Silva, President; Beverly Simons, Vice President; Anne Slattery Secretary; Warren Hathaway, Treasurer; Suzanne Rego, Girl Councillor; Dennis Maggiacomo, Boy Councillor. At the SAA elections two Juniors survived the ballots and carried our fame abroad. We were proud of Vice President Jeanne Madore and Secretary Beverly DeMarco. The most exciting happening of the year to us Juniors was the arrival of the class rings from Balfour. Are they pretty? Does yours fit? Mine 10
