CLASS HI TCR In 1960, a confused mass of freshmen entered Wil- liamstown High School. This was the humble be- ginning of the Class of 1964. Our officers of the year were, President, Charles Heed,Vice-President,Jane Kelsey,Secretary, Joanne Pavlik, and Treasurer, Janet Kopp. Our class advisor was Mrs. Montemurro, an old friend from our eighth- grade days. Since our treasury was penniless we started the tradition of a Freshman Class Movie by sponsoring Lost Horizonf' With our treasury now enriched, we began plans for our Freshman Hop. The long-awaited night finally arrived and Peggy Szymczak was crowned our queen among the splendor of Some Enchanted Evening. After finals were over, we all breathed a sigh of relief and planned to spend a rollicking summer. Summer passed all too quickly and September was at hand. We returned with our summer tans and en- thusiasm as sophomores. We were quickly labeled as the traditional Hwise fools and slowly started through our second year of high school. Class officers for the year were: President, Gilbert Miller, Vice-President, Valerie Johansen, Secretary, Barbara Wall, and Treasurer, Linda Adams. Mrs. Montemurro was still standing by us as our advisor. To enlarge our treasury, we sold candy. With some of the proceeds, we purchased two globes for the school. We chose our class colors, mint green and white. Being exotic in nature, we chose the white orchid as our class flower. Our Sophomore Hop matched our attitudes and we threw a gala Mardi Gras Hop. Our queen, Joyce Vail, was crowned among the gay confusion of stream- ers and balloons. In May, we were measured for our class rings, and we looked forward to our junior year when we would receive them. Finally June arrived and we were off fOr aI10thCF gay summer. As the summer matured, so did we, and returned in September as stately juniors. After a heated campaign, the following officers were elected: President, Bob Baum, Vice-President, Gilbert Miller, Secretary, Betty Krasowsky, and Treasurer, Richard Keenan. We were all looking forward to a busy year. Since a great deal of money was needed to finance the many projects the juniors were expected to support, we held many money raising affairs. The two most important projects were the Junior Play and the Junior-Senior Prom. Early in the year, we received our class rings. For several days there was a great deal of hand waving and ring twisting for good luck. Now being more mature, we also chose our class motto, Our aim, success, our hope, victory. The Junior Play, You Can't Take It With You, was well received. A long list of our stars was headed by Richard Keenan, Carolyn Knepler, and Michael Du Brink. The highlight of the year was our never to be forgotten Junior-Senior Prom. Many of the juniors worked many hours to make it a success. As the evening progressed, Al Homalino and Carmella Muratore were chosen as the King and Queen of our Coronation Ball. One of the things that our advisor was most proud of was the fact that our Prom was a real class effort. The school year was almost over and we were eagerly awaiting the time that we would return to W.H.S. as mighty Seniors. The summer passed all too quickly. We returned to school but with a slight feeling of superiority because now everyone looked up to us. We continued the tradition of Senior Supremacy Day which was started by the preceding class. Our firstformal event was the Senior .Dinner Dance which was held at the Ivystone Inn. A most enjoyable evening was had by all. Our SeniorPlay was hailed as adramatic success. The Washington Trip and the junior-Senior Prom are now tucked away into our box of never-to-be- forgotten memories. Now all that remains is that final key and door-- graduation. Then we will step into the world, each to make his own way. We can but hope and pray for success.
