Class of 1957 At last,the ultimate goal anticipated for years has been attained. We are now the seniors, the upper classmen! It is difficult to recollect all of the numerous activities that we enjoyed with our classmates, however, let us seize this last opportunity to enumerate some of the memorable events of our past history. First came the election of our class officers in ninth grade-a week of intense campaigning ending in the election of Steve Sartori, president, Joan Daubitz, vice president, Louise Morin, treasurer, and Sandy Kinkade, secretary. All of us participated in the class meetings, the dances, the parties, and the selection of pins and rings. The year came to a successful close with our graduation exercises. Awards were presented on Graduation Day to lileanor Curran, Latin Award, joan Daubitz and Harold Levenson, American Legion Awards, and Sandy Kinkade, Balfour Key. Remember the sadness in our hearts as we left the junior high forever? Next we experienced mixed emotions upon our initiation into the high school. Then as the year progressed we realized how very fond we had grown of our new environment and how much we looked forward to the school activities. The leaders chosen to guide us through this sophomore year were, Steve Sartori, presidentg joan Daubitz, vice president, George Galiotsis, treasurer, and Sandy Kinkade, secretary. Mr. Robert Ryan acted as our class advisor. As our pride and self-importance grew, we juniors under the leadership of the same class officers and Mr. Gordon Vye, took advantage of our new opportunities. High- lighting the year was our junior-Senior Promenade, but of no less importance to us were class meetings, food sales, dances, and sports. And of course, the momentous occasion when we selected our high school rings. 1956-1957 finds us no longer the underclassmen, but leaders in our elaborate modern new high school. The election of the same officers started us off on the most notable I4

year of our lifetime, complete with plans and preparations for the yearbook, calendar, food and holly sales, class play, class pictures, and graduation. The junior-Senior Promenade and Senior Class Banquet brought us to the end of our high school years. Credit should be extended to Mr. Herbert Bartlett for his aid in making this year a success. Because this is the final year it is necessary that we take time out to prepare for our future goals-whether attending college or engaging in work. We look ahead toward graduation with eager anticipation. May those who follow in our footsteps enjoy the experience and knowledge which we have been so very fortunate to obtain. To them We offer our best wishes, and a word of advice. The advice is that you take advantage of your high school years equally through work and play. Now as we are about to leave high school, our thoughts must necessarily turn to the education we have received for entrance into untried fields. Have we made the most of our twelve years under the guidance of our teachers? Are we prepared for the new responsibility we are about to assume? It is our sincere belief that our experiences and training in West Springfield High School have helped lead us to the goals which we have set for ourselves. What are these goals! Life, liberty, and the pursuit of happiness are our birth- rights, but the responsibility for maintaining these rights is our particular duty. May we all dedicate ourselves to the task of trying to make this world of ours a better world because of our presence. Let us not mouth idle promises, but go forth with the sincere desire to lead others into the paths where we have been led and to go forth with those who have guided our footsteps.
