PETER CARPENTER President SUSAN MERTZ JANE REINAKER Vice-President Secretary FRANK CELLITTI Treasurer GEORGE AMERMAN Faculty Adviser SENIOR CLASS In September of 1956 we entered Sunbury High School knowing that this was our last school year. For some, this is the end of the road of education; others will continue on to higher levels of learning. For twelve years we have worked hard, but our lives are really just beginning. Some of us will be going into the armed services, getting married, or embarking on a career. Whether we succeed or not depends entirely upon us. We, the Class of 1957, look back on the past twelve years of our lives with fond and loving memories. In addition to our education, we experienced perhaps what may be termed the happiest years of our lives. There are certain memor- able occasions such as the pep chapels, the prom, the athletic events, and commencement that will always be deeply embed- ded in our memories. Throughout our lives we will bear evidence of our fine training. We cannot sufficiently express our gratitude to our par- ents and teachers who have made our education possible. We sincerely hope we can prove worthy of their confidence in us. We wish to give special thanks to Mr. George Amerman, our class adviser, who offered his valuable time and services to make our class a success. He worked diligently with us, encouraged us, and above all was understanding. Our class can never repay him for the innumerable tasks he performed and for that extra push we needed. Yes, crossing the bridges of education was hard, seem- ingly endless; but we have finally reached our goal. Next year when the underclassmen are returning, a tear may trickle down our cheeks. But we cannot turn back the hands of time; as time progresses, so must we. A bit of philosophy for us to follow is never to forget the past and what school has done for us; to live in the present; and to keep our eyes focused on the future. 22
