ke age eport — Now we were Freshmen at last. Junior higli faded into the past. Peter Hurley was the first of our presidents. Rooms 209 and 108 became our residence. A cheerleader Betsey became. Anita ' s parties brought her fame. Christmas vacation was almost here, Classrooms were filled with parties and cheer. But in 108 we all were enraged; Scrubbing the desks kei)t us engaged. The future looked gray When Mr. Stevens went away. After Mr. Connolly came Nothing was the same. In class we started to clown, But alas, our marks went down. That year bj ' some cruel trick of chance We were deprived of a Freshman dance. We watched with admiration, The Senior ' s graduation. Our summer then held fun galore. And Fall found us each a Sophomore. Our ranks increased by ten. Five girls, five, ahem, men? Barb, Joan, Anita and Pauline Twirling their batons could be seen. The Sophomore Capers was presented. And a sock hope we also invented. Don and Neal got their basketball letters. The purchase of class rings made many debtors. Betsey with Charlie again made history. How Charlie got the nerve is still a mystery. AVhile Charlie My Boy she sang, The Hall with laughter rang. Mr. Rinaldi and all his excursions Provided the class with many diversions. On our trip to Lake Archer we learned That skins long uncovered are easily burned. We returned as Juniors the next year. Increased responsibility as students was clear. Chemistry with lab classes soon was begun. AVe worked hard with Mr. Sarris but also had fun. Mrs. Smith j)oscd this question, it was useless to ask it, Who put the hydrogen disulfide in my waste basket? Two weeks in May could have been a vacation, We spent class time covering the gym with decoration. For making the roses we used paper by the ream. The big night came and went like a pleasant dream. This year ' s class trip led to Green Harbor ' s shore. The sun, as usual, left our skins red and sore. The Junior boys decided one day to gain more atten- tion. Suspenders and short pants almost resulted in suspen- sion. Faster and faster the time seemed to fly, And at last we were Seniors lofty and high. Billie was our president for the third straight year. His skill in this office by now was quite clear. Now we looked forward with pride to graduation. We considered the Freshmen as the younger genera- tion. Our activities of the year are now just memories. Our class trip, our banquet, our dances and assemblies. For the story is over, our diplomas we ' ve won. But the making of history we ' ve just begun. Frank Leonard Diane DeVitt
