6.1 JJJ FOQM Look! The future is before us The road lies wide and bright Beckoning and calling, its path marked clear and white We must face that future With minds and hearts so true, With willing hands and bodies strong With the spirit of the blue. Rugged Mountains Round About Us We have heard the echoes ring As on the fields of battle our Alma Mater we did sing. So sing it louder louder now Raise your voices high For calling clearer in the distance the roll of drums draws nigh. The future is before us' The road lies wide and bright Beckoning and calling its path marked clear and bright. May we answer that call! Shirley Malcein Y Z f2Y.

CLASS HISTORY THE RISE OF THE CLASS OF FIFTY-SEVEN . . . being an account of the peoples, times, and actions of the Class of Fifty-Seven during its four years of existence . . . . On the seventh day of September in the year of our Lord, one thousand nine hundred and fifty-three, we were called to the court of King Martin Phelan to serve as the royal pages Cfreshmenj of Southington High School. The massive .stone walls, grand courtyards, dungeons and underground passages confused and mystiiied us. But on that same day Sir Craig Matheson took us under his wing and gave us encouragement. Our head page was Peter Skelskey with assistant, James Nagle, Clerk of the Courts, Mary Riera and Money Lender, Joanne Fontana. Some of us soon proceeded to be accepted in court. We were very proud to learn that Marcia Earl, Judith Musto, Caroline Miller, Barbara Santago, Ruth England, Johanna Brunalli, Deanna Gibbs and Maria Fontana were chosen as heralds Ccheer- leadersj. Virginia McCullough and Joseph Del Buono were elected honorary pages at the Knights Cseniorsj annual Valentine Dance. Our pride soared sky high when we heard that Virginia Goggin became a member of the castle record book, the Emblem. As the year drew to a close we realized that we still had three more years of service in court before us. We had one consolation-We were no longer the youngest in the court. In September of '54, under the leadership of Mary Riera, Head Cavalier, and her associates, Michael Ungaro, Susan Keegan and Louise Carbone, we hoped for more activities. We were finally given our reward. First Michael Ungaro, Anthony Tarfano, John Geloso and John Orsini were wearing the armor Cjacketsj which they earned in aiding the Knights in an undefeated season of tournaments Cfootball gamesj. It becarne known that we had talent among us, and James Tassie, James Nagle, Alan Stevens, and William Schwab became Minstrels under Lady Beach's direction. The talent of the class as a whole became quite apparent when we were allowed to present our own entertainment, which has now become an annual affair. It was called the Sophomore Spotlight Revue and was the hit of the year due to Sir Matheson's direction. Do you remember Ronald Skinner, the little boy with the big dog, or the McGuire Sisters, Tosh, Tassie, and Thompson, with mops on their heads? It must have been days before George got the shaving lather out of his hair! There Is Nothing Like A Dame in the eyes of our happy sailors, who really believe in this song. The beautiful solo of Betty Lou Wilkeyson in May the Good Lord Bless and Keep You was a finale that shall always be remembered by all. That year the Honorary royal pages at the Valentine Dance were Jan Bennett and Barbara Aduskevich. Our players represented us well in all of the tournaments Cgames, basketball, baseball and trackl. Janet Martin wrote our class news in the court archives CThe Emblemj and Jane Doucette became the scribe Csecretaryb of the same. Judy None- macher and Ralph Grimaldi displayed their artistic talents by drawing for the Emblem. Sadness fell upon us as the year came to an end. We learned that Sir Matheson was leaving us to go on a pilgrimage to Woodbury. In parting we gave our best wishes and a standing invitation to visit us often. Returning in our third year as squires, Sir James Mariconda was chosen as our new counselor. Chief of Squires, Mary Riera along with John Geloso, Ralph Grimaldi, and Jane Doucette assumed their posts and proceeded to build up the treasury with the vending of refreshments to the entire court at mid-morning. The heralds Ccheer- leadersj chosen for the coming year were Caroline Miller, Johanna Brunalli, Susan Keegan. Barbara Mongillo and Judith Ahearn. Writing our class archives was Mary Riera. Joanne Fontana was selected as the Southington High School news correspondent for the Southlngton News and Hartford Courant. Those selected for the All State Chorus were James Nagle and William Schwab. Richard Orrill took part in the All State Orchestra. In December, while Al DeCaro and his musifal minstrels serenaded us, we danced in the moonlight of Clair de Lune at our Prom. Everyone was pleased when Squire 30 7iflxlfl11!ll'lll!llfl'lll3llblllIl I! ll l'.3lll' HI' l' '
