wx .2 ' Q-X -fm- MARGARET ST. JOHN Our Class Advisers, Miss Margaret K. St. John and Mr. Robert P. Serafino, played a maior part in making our golden years a memorable success. Under their persuasive direction the way we have come the past three years was made easier and pleasanter. As the arranger of all social events and class assemblies, Mr. Serafino exhibited a variety of talents. Each time he took his place on the podium the discordant hum of voices faded away and the program began. He kept a careful watch over our monetary resources, including the Senior Class dues and Prom Bids. Skillfully he modulated the scale of our activities. Amicably he helped smooth out the wrinkles in our major performances. Miss St. John's vibrant personality and gen- erous assistance provided inspiration for all of us to play our parts as well as she played hers. She was always available to help with all our problems. She set the pace of our endeavors and increased the range of our accomplishments. Her enthusiasm brought success to everything from the Proms to the Class Plays to the informal dances to the representative meetings. Cla - 0 l f . 5 fag Q ., . .sur ROBERT SERAFINO
