Seniors Time Cut for Talk

Page 16 text:

September fifth already and we were starting our last year of school. Seemed like yesterday that we entered the halls of S. H. S. for the first time. On Septem- ber seventh Mr. jacques talked to us at our first class meeting, telling us about our responsibilities this year and reminding us to start thinking about class night and graduation, both of which seemed very remote at the time. October brought photographers and a week of picture-posing . . . all the club pictures and senior pictures were taken. We really had a hey-day when the senior proofs came back. Everyone was looking at everyone else's, making excuses for his own. However, the pictures were all very good. We had a closed Halloween party in the gym on November first. Costumes, food, and lots of fun made it really complete. Even though the snow tried to keep us from the Harvest Moon on November third, we all got there one Way or another and had a fine time. The gym was decorated beautifully . . . the girls in their rustling gowns and the boys in their smart suits looked none the worse for the snow. After many trials and tribulations, our class play, Meet a Body, a three act mystery-comedy, was presented on November twenty-first and twenty-second. The cast had a wonderful time doing it, and we certainly enjoyed seeing it. Then, at last, Christmas vacation and the end of the first semester. The second semester brought lots of activity. Plans for Class Night were completed in February and the Electra went to press early in March. On April twenty-fifth we had our last class party. Then the big day . . . May twenty-ninth was our last day of school. How the underclassmen envied us! A few more days and we would really be finished with high school. There was lots of fun at Class Night on june first. Baccalaureate followed on the third, and the Kennywood picnic on the fourth. On June fifth an achievement in our lives was finally realized . . . grad- uation. Bernard Conley, Rosy Pizoli, Janice Beck, Edmond Casey Sharlene Hixenbaugh, Richard Drennan, and Darwin Shoop, janitor. 12
