TIIE HIGH SCHOOL HERALD 21 SENIOR CLASS NEWS President --- -Wesson Sargent Vice-President ..... Louis Rossi Secretary ......Nancy Fuller Treasurer .... Ann Raccone In September, forty members were enrolled in the Senior Class. A magazine campaign was conducted by the Seniors through the Curtis Publishing Company. Two teams were organized, the Red and the Blue. The Red team came out victorious. The Seniors of ' 55 brought in more subscriptions than any other class since the beginning of the campaign. The losing team entertained the winners with a skit, and the Juniors and Faculty, who were our guests, had a most enjoyable time. Nancy Fuller, the highest salesman, chose the radio as her prize. Thomas Szepanski, the second highest salesman, chose a phonograph. Gloria Becker, third highest sales¬ man, chose a camera set and Peter Carniglia, fourth highest salesman, chose a pen and pencil set. Loring Studio was engaged this year to take the class pictures. Blue and white were chosen for the caps and gowns as well as for the class colors. During the year, meetings were held to organize various committees to sell refresh¬ ments during the voting hours, at recesses once a week, and for the big Senior Food Sale to help pay the class trip expenses. These sales proved to be very profitable. On April 14, the Senior Class held their annual play, Men Are like Street Cars”, a three-act comedy. Preparations for Class Night and Graduation will soon be under way, and we wish to thank everyone who helped make our Senior year a financial success.

20 THE HIGH SCHOOL HERALD JUNE, A TURNING POINT This June marks a beginning and an ending; that is, it marks the beginning of summer and the ending of winter and the school year. Studies seem to be forgotten as the summer vacation begins. Although there are swimming parties, picnics, and many other activities planned for the coming months, teen-agers seem to be looking for summer jobs. June also brings serious thoughts to our minds. It is a time of reckoning for all under-graduates and a time for them to think more seriously about the future. In fact, we should stop and look back to see ways in which we can improve ourselves in the following year, for each one of us is brought a step nearer to the time when he will graduate. Our present high school building will probably see its last graduating class this June. In the fall we shall be moving to a larger high school building and there will probably be a larger enrollment. Our old school will not be forgotten, however, for it will have a new and very important purpose. It will become a part of the grammar school. Furthermore, June can be considered a turning point, since it marks the mid-way point of the year. But still more important than that, it marks a turning point in the lives of this year ' s graduating class. For them the summer is not merely a three months ' vacation until they can return to Windsor Locks High. If they obtain a job, it is not likely to be for the summer only. Many of them will be going to college to further their education. Eventually they will choose many different occupations, and I am sure each one of them will do his best in whatever road of life he takes. The rest of us who watch them leave, certainly wish them the best of luck and success in the years to come. Mary Corrow ' 57
