CLASS HISTORY For an accurate history of our class we unlock the diary of one of its first members. Let's read through at random . . . Dear Diary, June, 1946 I felt so grown up. Tom Longwell, Marie Fiscus, Joanne Norman and I went to the front of the class to receive our diplomas. I thought we'd never graduate from kindergarten! Deal' DIGYY, January, 1947 Today Nancy McEwen, Frank DiCamillo, Marion Mackarvich, Kathy Monaghan and Ed Barry said the alphabet perfectly. Oh, to be so smart! Deaf DIBVY, February, 1948 We had a wonderful Valentine's party. I got the prettiest valentines from Ed Drake and Robert McTague. Dear Diary, March, 1949 We had a St. Patrick's Day play- When Irish Eyes Are Smiling. Sister said the whole world was Irish today so it was quite appropriate if Joe Martinez and Norma Willenborg did the Irish iig. Dear Diary, April, 1950 We have a new boy, Louis Carricarte, from Cuba. Since this is his first Easter in America, Natalie McCleskey explained our Easter customs to him and then asked everyone to her house for an egg hunt. Dear Diary, May, 1951 We know ALL about fractions now. I think long division is impossible! Bill Cunningham had to explain tonight's homework to Peggy Hanlon and me. Dear Diary, June, 1952 Betty Ann Allen had a big party at her house to celebrate the closing of school. We can hardly believe we'll be in Junior High next year. Dear Diary, February, 1953 The play, Father of a Nation, which our class presented on the 22nd was a tremendous success. Jeannie Duffy was Martha Washington and she blushed so much that Sister thought she had rouge on! Dear Diary, June, 1954 The eighth grade graduation was very impressive after some last minute hazards. Joan Rozum lost one of her new high heels and Anna Hubers couldn't get her cap on over her braids! Dear Diary, January, 1955 After a whole semester, high school doesn't seem so strange anymore and I've made a million new friends. Today, John Mackin asked Kathy Rickey, Jackie McKone, Paul Quinn, Ed Paluch and I down to the Riveria Times to see how a newspaper is made. How l'd love to work there! Dear Diary, May, 1956 Being a sophomore sure takes a lot of work. Pat Kiel, Ilka Nicole and I studied the Spanish subiunctive for three hours tonight to say nothing of biology and algebra. Can't wait 'til exams are over. Just think-next year we'll be upperclassmen. Dear Diary, April, 1957 The Prom was truly unforgettable, but I really think the preparation and anticipation were more fun than the dance itelf. Julia Torres and Andie Arens have been making tin-foil stars for weeks. Today Al Smith, Alan Minet and Vince DeCario climbed up and down ladders all day long and transformed the K. of C. Hall into a star-lit night, while Jo Batchellor and Pastora San Juan strung garlands of paper flow- ers completing the atmosphere of a Spring night. Our class was so proud tonight of our wonderful Prom. Dear Diary, June, 1958 Our graduation tonight has brought to a close the happiest year of my life. On the way to church Don Mahoney, Norman Boyd, Charles Gray and Jimmy Miller were saying that even if we are never all together again, no one will forget tonight. The ceremony was beautiful and after all from Christine Fell to Audrey Holmes had received their diplomas we went to Ginny McSherry's for a farewell party, thus bringing to a close the most marvelous night of my life. --PASTORA SAN JUAN
