Michael Savin was again the high spot of our talent show and the annual Sophomore Hop was held on March 16. Charles Wood, Gerald Drury, Michael Saddow, William Walsh, and Edward Kear- ney distinguished themselves in sports, and after four weeks of grueling training seven girls, name- ly, Mary Grillo, Mary Kiddy, Susan McGee, Kathryn Naccarato, Eleanor Rose, Dorothy Zembruski, and captain Maureen Comolli were repaid for their aching muscles with the honor of becoming cheerleaders and representing the spirit of S.H.S. JUNIOR YEAR Our iunior year at S.H.S. contained many of the pitfalls of our Freshman one. A new school, new lockers, new teachers, but once again we were guilty of the same old excuses. We elected our leaders for the coming year. Class President-Leo Nolan, Vice President-Joseph Morosini, Secretary-Sally Steadman, and Treasurer, Helen Stewart. Student Council representatives were George Robinson, Gerald Drury, Michael Saddow, Jeanne Schackner, June Sutherland, and Dianne Christina. The Thanksgiving Day football game was a hard one to lose, but before long Christmas was in the air, and Michael Savin as Rudolf was prancing across the stage of the Junior Talent Show. During our Junior year several members of our class were elected to the National Honor So- ciety: Maureen Comolli, Michele Daignault, Gerald Drury, Anne Gallagher, Mary Grillo, Joanne Lawrence, Louis Luzzi, Susan McGee, Lawrence O'Keefe, and Jeannette Sylvestre. Our lettermen were: William Walsh, Joseph Morosini, Gerald Drury, Charles Wood, Edward Kearney, Michael Saddow, George Robinson, and Louis Luzzi. One of the most memorable events of our Junior year was the annual New York trip-three days in the big city, and we loved itl Remember the Empire State Building and Palisades! As spring sped by, George Robinson and Jeanne Schackner began to organize our Junior Prom . . . Moonlight and Roses. -who would be Queen? Happy smiles appeared as June Suther- land mounted the steps to her throne, followed by her court consisting of Maureen Comolli, Janet Ferguson, Linda Foley, Susan McGee, Kathryn Naccarato, and Jeanne Schackner. What a fitting climax to our Junior Year! SENIOR YEAR The fall of '58 arrived, and we now realized we were really Seniors-Problems of Democracy and Senior English now had meaning for us. We elected our officers with the sobering thought that it was for the last time, President-William Beal, Vice President-Joseph Morosini, Secretary- Margaret Devine, and Treasurer-Patricia Donahue. Our student council members of the Junior year were re-elected and George Robinson was chosen council president, Secretary-Treasurer was June Sutherland. Gerald Drury and Jeanne Schackner headed the assembly committee. The Senior Harvest of Talent was excellent and George's General Store will live in our memories for years to come. Then came the Senior Prom. Eleanor Rose and George Robinson were the co- chairmen and they did a wonderful iob. This year our classmates were sports captains, football-Billy Walsh, basketball-Charles Wood, baseball-Gerald Drury, and track-Michael Saddow, Finally Spring arrived, and we completed preparations for the Washington Trip. We will al- ways remember the wonderful experience of this iourney. As our yearbooks were distributed, we realized that our high school career was iust one brief episode in our lives.
