Close the door remembering that things can never be the Same again. When you come back on other Days with a mind clothed in different gar- ments Everything you knew will be Gone. You'll look around, but the Life that once was yours will belong to someone else. Adjust your tie; tie your shoe. You'll identify a bit and think about the friends you Thought you knew so well so long ago. Take one last glimpse now, of the things that mean so Much. A water fountain on the second floor; A desk that says You plus Me ; The empty gymnasium where you played basketbal I Are fading into oblivion Turn around and view the si lent halls and say Goodbye.

Class In September, 1964, the Class of '70 first entered the halls of Union High School, not as confident sixth graders but as very terrified seventh graders. We soon got over our fears and adjusted to our new routine by electing class officers: President-Mike Drazick, Vice-President-Don Donati, and Secretary-Treasurer-Renee Drazick. Our class sponsor was Mrs. Hanna. The class party proved a very enjoyable evening. We returned the following year as eighth graders with an established place in the student body. The following were class officers: President-Wayne Bolling, Vice- President-Gary Bywaters, and Secretary- Treasurer-Nancy Caleffe. Our class party was a success, thanks to Mr. Patterson, our eighth grade sponsor. The American Legion Award was presented to Rosalind Rozmus and Wayne Bolling. In the fall of '66 we returned as the confident leaders of the junior high. We elected the following officers: President- Wayne Bolling, Vice-President-Pete McMahon, and Secretary-Treasurer-Ron Call. The annual freshman hayride was on a cold and wet Friday night with a dance in the cafeteria afterwards. Our class spon- sor was Mrs. Vukotich. We entered our sophomore year under the direction of Miss Tiano, our class advisor. The following were chosen to serve as class officers: President-Bill Pra- ta, Vice-President-Pete Stracci, and Sec- retary-T r ea s u r e r-Mary Scouvart. We showed our imagination and leadership by being the first class to enter a float in the Homecoming festivities. The float, en- titled Golden Anniversary, won first prize. Making their first appearance as majorettes in the Blue Devil Band were Janet Florio, Andrea Mikula, and Joyce Scariot. Pat Clark, Therese McKee, and Helen Yaworski cheered as Varsity Cheer- leaders while Nancy Caleffe, Chris Campa, Cathy Geffert, Mary Margaret Homitz, and Pat Tucci were B-Squad Cheerleaders. On March 7 the annual Sophomore Party was held with great success. In August we began our junior year under the leadership of Mr. Brozier. We elected the following as class officers: President-Frank Chilensky, Vice-Pres - ident-Frank Roberts, Secretary-Treas- urer-Sharon Fernandez, and Representative to the Athletic Council-Pete Stracci. In History October we received our class rings. Show- ing once again enthusiasm and leadership, we began our magazine campaign, with Mr. Beeson as advisor. It was a great success. The annual Junior Party, held in April, was enjoyed by all. Our play, Girl Crazy, was held with great success, thanks to the direction of Mr. Smouse. The highlight of the year was the Junior-Senior Prom held in May. The theme was Roman Holiday. The success was due to the many long hours of work put in to making it an en- joyable evening. A great deal of credit must also be given to Mr. Latella, the prom sponsor. In September 1969, we entered the halls of Union for the last time as we started that memorable year as a senior. For the last time we elected class officers. They were the following: President-Pete Stracci, Vice-President-Frank Chilensky, and Sec- retary-Treasurer-Sharon Fernandez. Our class advisor was Mr. Pusateri. The first big event of the year was Homecoming, at which Mary Scouvart was named Queen. The following were at- tendants: Sherry Bartoletti, Nancy Caleffe, Renee Drazick, Sharon Fernandez, and Joyce Scariot. Senior majorettes of the year were Janet Florio, head majorette, Sharon Fei— nandez, drum majorette, Andrea Mikula, Joyce Scariot, and Mary Scouvart. Senior cheerleaders for the year were Cathy Gef- fert, head cheer leader, Nancy Caleffe, Chris Campa, Pat Clark, Therese McKee, Pat Tucci, and Helen Yaworski. On October 24, 1969, after the McGuf- fey football game, Dennis Pavan and Bobbi Jo Truax were named Football King and Queen. They were crowned by Mr. Brozier. The happiest event of the year for sen- iors was winning the Sportsmanship Trophy from Fort Cherry High School. The Senior Class Play, held on January 15-17, was a great success. The play, On Borrowed Time, was directed by Miss O'Hern. As the year is coming to an end, we are filled with mixed emotions. One part of ourselves is very sad about leaving, and the other is happy at the prospect of entering a new life. Although we will split up and go our separate ways, the memories of the class of 1970 will remain with us forever.
