Although snapping pictures seems not to bother Sister Josephine prank loving seniors turn their books to raise a laugh, never dreaming it fWe used it anyway!! As upperclassmen we had to set the pace for underclassmen. School worl-c. of course. had to be prepared. and in a sense. better prepared than ever hefore4faced as we were with the prospects of Colle-ge Boards or Civil Service examinations! ln English class we tried to acquire- a deeper appreciation of our cultural heritage and to polish our writing techniques, In Problems class we sought to realize the significant roles which as American citizens 'we must play in order to malce our world a better place to live in, The scientists among us continued to delve into the mysteries of chemistry. physics and trigonometry to pre- pilft' tliclllsclvcs for tlleli' v.l1'loL1s c.1rt'L'rs. Future secretaries perfected their shorthand, toolc commercial law and had practical experi- ence in office work. This did not mean. how- ever, all work and no play. No. indeed! Basketball. baseball games---all were attended in due season. Class night dances. parties, club meetings.the busy round of activities continued as usual. But as each event passed. we were sadly aware that this was the last time and we were drawing closer and closer to our much awaited goal-graduation. AROUND THE TABLE: Michael Nlusiann, john W'illiams, Steve Rundio, Anthony Macri, Dave Li- berto, Leon Mazza, jean Bertino, Erma Fortis. Deeply intent in their work these students show 2 keen interest in the mysteries of chemistry. Who knows what future scientists may be among them!

GOOD ORDER IS THE FOU DATIO The first Student Council proved itself able and ,willing to assume the duties of leadership and responsibility. Meetings were conducted in truly business-like fashion. First on the agenda was lessening the confusion in the cor- ridor between classes. To prevent loitering in the halls, passes were issued to permit one to leave study halls or classes. The demerit sys- tem went into force and students realized that self-control was to their advantage. Good use of study time meant fewer books to carry home and no demerits or detentions. The Student Council sponsored the Christmas par- ty with a boost from the P.T.A., a Book Week exhibit and assembly program, and the Senior farewell party. Fascinated by the novelty of learning a new language, the Juniors applied immediately for membership in the French or Italian club. French club applicants were expected to an- swer Oui', to the question Parlez-vous fran- cais? and to cooperate in all club activities. Virginia Rose led the meetings with an air of experience. Writing to pen pals in French brought an interesting exchange of experiences and practice in using the language. Other pro- jects were making a cultural map of France and a study of the flags of France. Il circolo italianoy' led by Jean Bertino enjoyed the dramatic reading of La classe modella , a hilarious farce about a class of nitwits whose instructor was trying to make an impression on the school supervisor. Playing games, learn- ing songs and listening to records were other diversions. Iii' FIRST ROW, L. to R.: C. Tomassone, Sister Seralina, advisor, A. Pullia, T. Petruzzi, D. Liberto, J. Capella, W.
