OFFICERS Frank Romano Angia Conto . Mr. Minifri Sylvia Cione Lou Browne .. ....President Vice President .....Advisor ....Secretary ....Treasurer CLASS HISTORY Meek and timid, yet determined even then to become outsatnding, the Freshman Class of '51 hit a high goal in that first magazine drive. Guided by our advisor, Mr. Minifri, and our officers—1 Joseph Soracco, President; Ida Angle. Vice-Presi- dent; Lois Babbitt, Secretary; and Donald Luisi, Treasurer, we acquired a new confidence in our- selves and in V.H.S. Some of the highlights of that freshman year were: the formation of the National Honor Society and the National Athletic Scholar- ship Society. Gym Night, the Music Festival, and the Freshman Assembly featuring talent from our own class. With a feeling of belonging, we launched into our sophomore year. This was a glorious period for us, filled with such events as the big Thanks- giving Game Pep Rally in Gittone Stadium, the Junior Town Meeting Assembly in which juvenile delinquency was discussed, the Christmas Dance with the giant snowman centerpiece, the Science Fair at Glassboro. our unforgettable Sophomore Party, and that wonderful first Red and Gray Day. Our backbone throughout the year was the lead- ership of President Jean Carnegie. Vice-President James Reaves, Secretary Frances Genovese, and Treasurer Donald Luisi. Juniors now, our pride was evidenced in every project—the magazine drive, the Class Play The Inner Willy , and the Junior-Senior Prom with its unusual oriental theme. The burning of the annex was an outstanding event. James Reaves held the gavel that year, aided by Rudy Ruberti as Vice-President, Josephine Martinelli as Secretary, and again Donald Luisi as Treasurer. Moving- up exercises and Honor Society induction only strengthened that deep-rooted pride of ours. Oh. the magic of the word senior ! We managed to fit so much into that short, but heav- enly year, marked by the high tide of school spirit, the organization of the Riding Club and the Sec- retarial Club, our sensational Class Play. The Night of January Sixteenth , and those endless efforts to raise money (especially the Christmas tree project). Our officers were Frank Romano. President; Angel- ina Conto, Vice-President; Silvia Cione. Secretary; and Louis Browne. Treasurer. The dreams of four fleeting years were at last realized—the Prom, the Washington trip, and Graduation! 14
