PIONEERS ' DIARY September 4, 1949 Today began a four-year journey along an unknown road. We chose officers to guide us in our first year. Sonny Lambiase was elected to lead us, with Kenny Hurt to assist hiin. Shaun Cunningham was to manage the gold, and Dolores LaRocca was to keep the diary. With Mr. Pierce and Mr. Kocina as our advisers, we all kne« ' we would enjoy a wonderful freshman year. At this time Mr. Chase joined us to lead the caravan. Also arriving with him were Mr. Wellsman who guided us in art and Mr. Morrison who was to teach some of the business courses. November 18, 1949 Tonight we had a square dance of which we were very proud. Zoe gave it the name Turkey Trot. We made much gold to add to our ever-increasing treasury. A new outlaw joined us, namely, Carli French, a real pistol packin ' mama. She pro ed within a short time to be an asset to the group. March 30, 1950 We invited a squaw. Miss Winifred Hulbert, from a neighboring In- dian tribe to speak at a council gathering. She told us of her many exploits in Europe. So impressive was her talk we shall not forget it for many a year. June 22, 1950 We have traveled through many days of fun and laughter and have completed a quarter of our journey. So ends our first year in the high school. September 7, 1950 Again we begin rolling on the second milestone of the journey. Several new people have been added to our group. Miss Ball who gives the girls their daily workout; Miss Chapman who instructs the language classes, and Mr. Claffy who replaces Mr. Morrison in the business course. September 22, 1950 Again it is time to choose new leaders. As chief we elect David Holmes who proves to be very capable in guiding us onward. Kenny Burt remains as Dave ' s very helpful assistant. A new secretary. Merry Hughes, is chosen to carry on the writing of the diary, and Shaun Cunningham is still in charge of the gold supply. November 17, 1950 As time rolled on we tired of the everyday work and wanted to mix a little pleasure with it. We decided to put on another dance which we named Sophomore Seasonal Swing. Everyone joined in the fun and by this time we were beginning to be known as the most original of all classes. December 14, 1950 We have all begun reading Shakespeare for entertainment. We can ' t decide whether we like Willie ' s writing or not. Also, many of the boys have taken to Yo Yos for a pastime. Still along the line of amusement, many of us are enjoying modern dancing under the leadership of Miss Ball. This dancing is bringing out the great talents of some of our girls, especially Patty Lee and Max Bassett. February 26, 1951 At this time we bid farewell to Mr. Claffey, who leaves for Cali- fornia, and welcome Mrs. Healy, the new business teacher. March 15, 1951 Tonight another dance, the Sophomore Sweater Hop, was held in the school gym. Needless to say, it was well attended, and as usual we were very proud. June 16, 1951 A trip to Lake Wallam ended the second year of our journey. The weather was perfect for a class trip, and we enjoyed immensely the bus trip with Mr. and Mrs. Pierce as our chaperones. September 4, 1951 It doesn ' t seem as if our journey could be half over. New officers have already been chosen. Our last year ' s vice-president, Kenny Burt, did such a won- derful job that we want him as president. Stephen Kelly is to assist in case of Ken ' s absence; Shaun is for the third time managing the treasury, and Dolores is again keeping the diary. New friends to join us as we travel onward are Miss Johnson, Mrs. Toczyd- lowski, and Mr. Marshall. November 16, 1951 Our junior dance, the Buccaneer ' s Bounce was also a tremendous success. The Pirate ' s Chest, designed by Nancy and Fred Bartholomew, added greatly to the decorations and received much favorable comment. As usual credit goes to Zoe for the choice of a name for the dance. January 14, 1952 Today we staged a talent show whose participants were Merry, Stewie, Pete, Gail, Jackie, and Mai. Needless to say, their work was enjoyed at an assembly by all the classes. How can we forget that today all surrounding tribes have been affected by hydrogen sulfide fumes with which the chemistry demons from the
