 Four score and three years —The first important speech by President John Bartolotta. In the early part of our senior year, we elected four of our classmates to be senior officers. Our president. John Bartolotta, our vice-president. JoAnn Solomita, our secretary. Theresa Grasso. and our treasurer. Annette Di Bello, provided fine examples of responsible and dependable leadership. They also had opportunities to represent our class on Senior Day. the senior dance, and the senior reception. We are certain that in remembering this senior year, joyful and memorable, our officers will take pride in knowing that they gave important help in the successful operation of our many class activities. 21 Sorry, no money, no senior activities for you. Cautious class treasurer Annette Di Bello. The first lady of our class. JoAnn Solomita. Vice President. Thank Heavens our class is small. says secretary Theresa Grasso.

1 L YU The essence of our happy and successful life at West Side has been the varied seasonal experiences which were afforded us by the four distinct seasons. Therefore, we find it appropriate to dedicate the following section of our yearbook to the seasons as reflected by their numerous and enjoyable activities. As we journey back into the pleasant memories of our high school days, we recall the many events which are associated with specific seasons. Football games in autumn are always a favorite among the seniors. During the winter we demonstrate our fortitude and pioneering spirit as we resolutely transcend the obstacles of rising snow drifts in order to attend classes faithfully. Besides activities, each season creates in us contrasting moods. How often we succumb to wistful spring fever or overindulgence in delightful summer daydreams, not without a friendly, yet firm awakening. And finally we experience a new joy and apprehension as we approach the ultimate objective of our work and activities during the seasons at West Side—Graduation. So much happened this year Z Z that I forgot to go underground. SMIRCLE. THE GROUNDHOG 23
