CLASS HISTORY 1961-1965 In the fall of 1961, we raised our sleepy heads to see four bright and fresh years looming ahead of us. Rising to the responsibility of our status as freshmen, we slipped easily into the precedential pattern under the capable leadership of our class officers Chip Davis, president; Gayle Wrubel, vice-president; Laurie Hershman, secretary and Emily Huntington, treasurer. Jim White served as president of Student Government, assisted by Kathy Howie as vice-president. Our initial effort at literary expression, the Ram’s Horn, was edited by Lynn O’Rourke. Many of our classmates excelled in various fields that year, and at the scholastic awards assembly held in June, they received recognition. To Laurie Hershman went awards for the highest scholastic average, excellence in Latin, Music Appreciation, and Ancient History. Jackie Adler received prizes in Al- gebra II, English, and Ancient History; Mary Gottlieb, Civics; Corinne Damiata, Science; Ted Rzasa, General Math; Loraine Fantacone, French; Lois Klare, Art; Lee Dickinson, Library; Sharon Savage and Jerry Kwolek, Physical Education; Diane Elliot and Sue Warner, Homemaking; Ulie Reinhardt, Paul Miano, and Chris Bishop, Shop. The year was climaxed by our first formal dance, Evening of Enchantment.” In addition to our scholastic achievements, our athletic program was promoted by the Cheerleading Squad with Harriet Unger as captain, assisted by Kathy Howie; and by the Majorette Corps led by Ulie Reinhardt and Caron Paskie- wicz. With summer’s zest and sunshine still pulsing through our veins, we fervently sought our sophomore year as a bright prospect of knowledge and fun. In 1962 the doors were opened by our class officers Charles Kincy, president; Charles Moody, vice-president; Cheryl Miller, secretary; Kathleen Griffith, treasurer; Marie Mazzotta, representative to Student Council and new Advisory Board members Judith Bongiorno, James Moore, and John Pistel. Small but mighty, a few deserving boys became lettermen. Louis La Rosa, football; John Pistel and Ronald Gresl, track; Robert Dawson and Charles Kincy, basketball. To express our school spirit and to spur the teams on to victory, some especially energetic girls were selected to be cheerleaders in the forthcoming year. They included Kathy Howie, Jackie Adler, Lucinda Topazio, Grace Rowe, Arlene Smith and Rita Dominic. Their enthusiam was augmented by the newly elected majorettes: Suzanne Bengtson, Cheryl Miller, Marie Maz- zotta, Maria Garafolo, Susan Harris and Caron Paskiewicz. Talent was evidenced also on a musical plane by Edith Clarke, Elizabeth Adorno, Gayle Wrubel, and Susan Turner as Melodees. James White and Charles Kincy represented Wilson at All State Chorus. Our fruitful year ended with the Hawaiian Holiday.” Our junior year was ushered in by competent leaders of our class. James Moore was president, Cheryl Miller, vice-president; Judith Bongiorno, secretary; Marie Mazzotta, treasurer; Charles Moody, representative to Student Council. Advisory Board members were Diane Eurto, Judy Bongiorno, Cheryl Miller, James Moore and John Pistel. Our class was distinguished by the election to Honor Society of nineteen juniors: Ted Faraci, Charles Moody, Robert Dawson, John Pistel, John Hudec, Robert Wycinowski, Anthony Guida, Joseph New- berg, James Percy, Laurie Hershman, Jackie Adler, Cheryl Miller, Caron Paskiewicz, Corinne Damiata, Marie Mazzotta, Sue Bengtson, Kathy Griffith, Lynn O’Rourke, and Patricia Reggaoni. 10
