, x ,!i. W -Asxv Elass flisfvry X We entered CHS September, 1952 with fifty-five members, and had the honor of being the last class of CHS to be initiated. For the first half year, not knowing each other very well, we chose a chairman, which was Ronald Betts. The beginning of the second semester we chose real officers. Philip Plumb was elected Presidentg Peter Swart, Vice Presidentg Marjorie Duprey, Secretaryg and Fay Gabert, Treasurer. Our class advisor was Mrs. Orcutt, then Miss Alexander. Our class dues were set at 35. Mr. Jillson's English class presented in assembly the following plays: Initiation and High School Daze. The latter, directed by Gloria Spaulding and Philip Plumb, was considered one of the best plays to ever hit the CHS stage. Our regular class play, directed by Mr. Thomas, was The Trader. The basketball team won the Southern Vermont tournament, that year, with the help of one of our members Bud Quimby, and four Freshman cheerleaders. In September, 1953 forty-eight of us reported back to CHS as Sophomores. We chose as officers, President Philip Plumb, Vice President Ronald Betts, Secretary Gloria Spaulding, and Treasurer Derry Ann Hazelton. Our class advisor was Mr. Newton. Dues were set at 37. That year the Newtons invited us up for a party with dancing and picnic. Our class play for that year was The Valiant, directed by Mr. Newton. Our Student Council representatives were Ronald Betts, Marjorie Duprey, and Derry Ann Hazelton. This year we started thinking about our class trip and began the money-raising with a Sox- Hop. In September, 1954, forty-one of us returned as Juniors. We chose as officers, President Philip Plumb, Vice President Ronald Betts, Secretary Derry Ann Hazelton, and Treasurer Gloria Spaulding. Mr. Newton was our class advisor. Our class dues were set at 557. The following had been chosen as our Student Council representatives: Fay Gabert, Ronald Betts, Derry Ann Hazelton, and Carol Cole, who was also Vice President. Carol was chosen as assistant manager of the Curtis Campaign. Mr. Newton directed the class play which was the mob scene from Shakespeare's Julius Caesar, We put on the annual Halloween dance, and the Junior Prom among other things. Ronald Betts was chosen King of the Prom. Last came the Alumni Banquet, which we met with fried chicken and enthusiasm. At last in September, 1955, 39 of us found ourselves Seniors. We chose as officers, President Ronald Betts, Vice President Philip Plumb, Secretary Derry Ann Hazelton, and Treasurer Gloria Spaulding. Again our class advisor was Mr. Newton. Our class dues were set at 85. The senior play, presented in Chester and Weston, was June Graduate. Our Student Council members were Ronald Betts, Beverly Sherwin, Marjorie Duprey, and Derry Ann Hazelton, who was President. The head of the Curtis Campaign was Carol Cole. We welcomed the Freshman class with a dance, not onions and lipstick. Joe Swett went to Kansas City for the F.F. A.g and Melvin Stowell, Jerry Foster and Elmer Willis went to Eastern States, also in connection with F.F. A. The annual Christmas Dance was given. We went on the class trip going to New York and Washington D.C. Finally the big day, our Graduation from CHS. So concludes the History of the class of '56 at CHS.
