With the help of frosh schoolmates Betty Mossakowski, Marcia lewandowski and George Wilkins, science tyro David Angel succeeded in making the bell ring. Frosh Grew Life presupposes change, growth and de- velopment. Because we teenagers are living things, we underwent these same processes. We entered school as shy, insecure children and proceeded cautiously through our first year. As sophomores we were no longer so timid and hesitant. On the contrary, the upper- classmen often considered us brash and dis- respectful. To them we were just silly sopho- mores. Our first taste of responsibility came in our junior year. We shed our lighthearted nonchalance and plunged into the many ac- tivities required of us. We had to plan dances and projects to raise funds for the annual junior-senior banquet to be held in May. During our senior year, we reached ma- turity and undertook various activities with self-assurance and know-how. We no longer hesitated when approached with a new ex- perience, responsibility or assignment. As sophomore David Angel translated another sec- tion of Caesar's Gallic Wars, Frances Jezewski checked her results at the blackboard. Wielding a set of weights to improve muscle tone, David Angel, sophomore, displayed his prowess to football coach Ronald Kowalczyk. 8
