September, 1938, found us on the threshold of our high school career. Those who saw the play “Two Crooks and a Lady, which we produced as an assembly program, will long remember how Bill Tatro died before the gun went off. During the Christmas holidays we held a party with the Sophs which furnished the social element of the year as a combined group. Our officers for Freshman year were: President—Edward Maslyn Vice-president—Everett Grimsley Secretary-Treasurer—Elwyn Griffin Intramural Managers—Catherine Cooley Paul O’Connell As Sophomores we began to feel quite grown up. This year saw the beginning of the Washington Club, which ended in failure as far as a trip to Washington was concerned. The money which was raised through this organization was turned over to the class when the club was disbanded. We had a very enjoyable time on our picnic at Rose-land in June, accompanied by the “green Frosh.” Class officers for the year were: President—Maurice O’Coyne Vice-President—Lucille Canne Treasurer—Edward Rolan Secretary—Jane Utterson Intramural Managers—Catherine Cooley Paul O’Connell 1M© - ■ In September of 1940 we re-entered the beloved portals of C. S. H. S. as upper class-men. We were no longer the Stooges” of the Juniors and Seniors. We became wearers of class rings which signified our belonging to C. S. H. S. of which we are all very proud. We presented “The Charm School” as our Junior Play. The characters were highly complimented on their performance and the play was a gre t success financially. Several of the boys were star players on the Varsity Five and went to Rochester for the play-offs. Our “Patriotic Prom” was held May 9. and although it was not a financial success, everyone attending had an enjoyable time dancing to the music of the Rhythm Ramblers. Many people congratulated us on our choice of the orchestra, for it proved to be very popular with those attending the Prom.” Officers elected for Junior year were: President—Margaret Wootton Vice-President—Elmer Smith Treasurer—Everett Grimsley Secretary—Catherine Cooley Intramural Managers—Catherine Cooley Paul O’Connell 1941 = 1941! and we were Seniors at last! We were supreme head of the Clifton Springs Central School. One of our members. Paul O'Connell, was elected president of Student Council, the governing body. As in our Junior year, we sponsored several dances after the basketball games and the sale of ice cream and candy at the games boosted the contents of our treasury. Our first public appearance as Seniors was in our Senior Play entitled “Spring Fever” by Glenn Hughes. The play was directed by Miss Jeanne Damon, to whom we wish to express cur many thanks, for without her assistance and that of Miss Lois Griffiths, our play could not have been the success it was. Our next accomplishment was the Senior Ball, which we christened the Snow Ball. Music was furnished by Chic Edmonds and his orchestra and the ball was successfully concluded, both financially and socially. Our last recognition as a group will be attained with the publication o fthis “Clif-tonian. Officers of the class during the Senior Year were: President—Margaret Wootton Vice-President—Edward Maslyn Treasurer—John Reed Secretary—Alice VandcVoorde Intramural Managers—Catherine Cooley Paul O’Connell
