Class History Freshman 1 958-1 959 September, 1958, we met the people with whom we would be spending our next four years. There we were--those green freshmen on the brink of our high school years. Graduation was an etemity away. During our freshman year we did nothing but get acquainted with one another and get adjusted to our new roles as high school students. Our work was to begin in our Sophomore year. Sophomore 1 959-1 960 Our sophomore cyear saw the election of our first class officers-Vincent Maltese, president, Rose Butrico, vice- president, Pat Bun schuh, secretary. Roger Mazurkewicz, treasurer. Mr. Sapko and Mrs. Grover were our first ad- visors. Our two biggest sales projects were the selling of green and white shakers and those green hats with large white plumes. The Class of '62 sponsored the first faculty volleyball game - remember those crazy getups. We also sold Easter flowers duringklunch periods. One of our biggest underta ings was the Sock Hop, a smashing success. That year saw a perfect, undefeated season for our great basketball team. lt seemed the year ended too fast as we bid goodbye to the Sophomores and become Jolly Juniors. Junior 1960-1961 We started our Junior year with the magazine sales drive from which we made a substantial profit. Next came our Autumn Leaves dance. The Leaders Corps initiated the Tiger Teen where different games, and dancing was offered. It was well re- ceived. Our biggest endeavor was the Junior Prom held in June. Our theme was Ebb Tide and everyone had a won- derful time. Remember the Treasure Chest and Mermaid and all the fun at the shore the next day. Sue Kirchner and Pat Bundschuh represented S.P.H.S. at Girls Citizenship Institute, while Ruth Huslage was our delegate to Girls' State and Bob Embley was Boys' State representative. Our officers were Vincent Maltese, president, Rose Butrico, vice-president, Pat Bundschuh, secretary, and Sue Kirchner, treasurer, who again served us well. We sadly said farewell to the Class of '61 as we rose to the highest position, that of the Grand Old Seniors. Seniors 1961 -1 962 The Class of 1962 has become well -known through its cooperation with each other. Our first senior project was our candy sale which gained us huge profits. Our first trip together was with Mr. Lawyer to New York City to see A Man of All Seasons. Our senior play was one of the best ever. It was held on November 17 and 18 and was the situation comedy- You Can't Take It With You. Who can forget Kolenkov, Essie, Grandpa and all the rest? Our play was a smashing success. The Senior Class and the P.T.A. jointly sponsored a fashion show. The Student Council became more effective mainly because of the devoted officers - Bob Ippolito, president, Pete Hemming, vice-president, Eileen Stukane, corresponding secretary, Roberta Warrick, recording secretary, and Ron Kuboski, treasurer. The Sadie Hawkins Dance was really profitable. Through the efforts of Coach Cotoia and a spirited squad, our football team tumed in its best season ever, 6-2-1. Prior to our game versus North Plainfield, Susan Kirchner was crowned Football Queen and Ken Ribar was Football King. School spirit ran high. Now with this fine record and our high school years at an end we say farewell to South Plainfield High School.
