CLASS HISTORY 1940—We proudly crossed the threshold from grammar school into our high school career. Our first assembly program, sponsored by the girls of the class, was a humorous skit, called It Was a Lovely Meeting. In June, all members of the class enjoyed a wonderful time at our class picnic, which was held at Roseland. Class officers were: President Ellis Weld Vice-president Robert O Connell Treasurer ..................... Marion Snethen Secretary ...................... Cyril O Coyne Intramural Managers Marjorie Taylor John Carney Student Council Representatives Eileen Conley. John Vanderhoof 1941—As Sophomores, we began to feel that we were gaining our place among the experienced members of our Alma Mater. December 7th of this year, our country entered the war against the Axis. As a class, wc did our share in purchasing Defense stamps at the school. Class officers were: President ....-............. Robert O Connell Vice-president ............. Betty Goodman Treasurer ...................... Wade Walker Intramural Managers Morjorie Taylor Secretary John Vanderhoof Cyril O'Coyne Student Council Representatives ................. Eileen Conley, Ellis Weld 1942—When we re-entered the beloved portals of C.S.C.S.. we were no longer considered lower classmen, for we had entered the upper domain . . we were Juniors. We became the proud wearers of class rings, which made us truly feel a part of our school. Our Victory Prom, held during the Christmas holidays, was not a financial success because Old Man Winter played his cards against us. However, a good time was had by all who did attend and we were commended on our choice of Pete Renzi’s orchestra. Our second enterprise was our Junior play, entitled The Kid. All members of the cast displayed their dramatic abilities, under the able direction of Miss Maroney. The play was a very great financial success. Class officers were: President ...................... Betty Goodman Vice-president ................... Cyril O'Coyne Treasurer Ellis Weld Secretary .......................... Marjorie Ford Intramural Managers Marjorie Taylor John Vanderhoof Student Council Representatives Eileen Conley, Richard Verbridge 1943—We became the mighty Seniors of C.S.C.S and were proud to call ourselves by that title. Our class had exceedingly diminished in size, as so many of our boys had entered the various branches of the Armed Forces. We re proud of each and every one of them. Because of the fact that so many of our boys and other men throughout Clifton Springs had entered the service, and because of difficulties faced in wartime, all ideas of a Senior ball were disbanded. However, we very successfully presented our play. Act Your Age. It was the talk of the town for a long time afterwards. The play was directed by Miss Damon, to whom we wish to give heartfelt thanks for the time and patience she gave us. It was also during this year that we delighted members of the C.S.C.S. by our Truth and Consequences program. One of our classmates. Betty Goodman, was chosen president of the Student Council. Our last accomplishment of our high school career will be attained with the publication of this Clifton-ian.” Class officers were: President .......................
