SEVENTEEN THE CLIFTONIAN CLASS DIAR V ’41-'42 When we first entered the third floor corridor of C. S. C. S. we were extra-“green and also strangers “on-account-of-because” wre were “centralized.” Due to the magnitude of our class we were bisected—half given to 'Miss O'Shea, the other half given to Miss Damon. However, just to be business-like we held elections and the results were: Bob Allen, President; Jean Driscoll, Vice-President; Shirley Reed, Secretary-treasurer; Lee Kutz and Mildred Tears, Student Council Representatives; Betsy Crawford, Shirley Reed, Lee Kutz. and Bob Parmerter. Intramural Managers. That’s the year everyone was singing, “I Don’t Want To Set the World on Fire” . . . “Clap, Clap, Clap—Deep in the Heart of Texas . . . “Pardon Me, Boy—Is This the Chattanooga Choo Choo?”. But one Sunday afternoon we were blasted out of our funny papers by a voice that said, “Pearl Harbor . . . Japs . . . Bombed . . . Casualties . . . and the next day we all went down and sat very scared while President Roosevelt asked for a declaration of war over the radio—still lacking the full realization of how it could affect our lives. But on the lighter side . . . remember how good the basketball team was that year? . . . riding on the bus to the games . . . winning the C League championship . . . and that time we went to Rochester to see “Macbeth —even though we didn’t have the faintest idea of the plot . . . and who could forget the freshman-sophomore party . . . and the rainy day “all class” picnic at Roseland . . . yeah, that was our freshman year!! ’42- ’43 We returned in the fall of ’42 with the feeling that we were a little more grown-up, anyway, at least we were sophomores and had the satisfaction of being the first class of C. S. C. S. to order class rings in the second year of high school (this was because of the shortages caused by the war). As usual we elected our officers for the year, and they were: Bob Allen, President; Jean Driscoll, Vice-President; Janet Call, Secretary; Shirley Reed, Treasurer; Jane Weeks and Bob Parmerter, Intramural Managers; Pat Macllroy and Marge Siegwald, Student Council Representatives. That year our basketball team was defeated by Gorham just before the semi-finals (remember how heartbroken we all were?) and ... we had “a honey” of a blizzard the night of the Junior Prom . . . the junior and senior classes lost some valuable masculine members to Uncle Sam . . . And we were all humming . . . Moonlight Becomes You” . . . That Old Black Magic Has Me in Its Spell” . . . “The Two o’clock Jump” . . . Letter writing and trying to de- cipher addresses became the most important feature of our leisure lives . . . and people were constantly reminding us— Don’t you know there’s a war on?” (as if we didn’t know) ... So ended our sophomore year. ’43-’44 As the autumn of ’43 crept silently upon us, we entered the stately portals of C. S. C. S.—upperclassmen. We were now under the guiding hand of Miss Mosey and our officers were: Bob Allen. President; Jean Driscoll, Vice-President; Shirley Reed, Secretary; Bill Mattoon, Treasurer; Verna Shekell and Ernest Scott. Intramural Managers; Janet Call and Clifford Squiers, Student Council Representatives . And the songs that kept running through our minds were . . . “Lay That Pistol Down. Babe—” . . . “It’s Love, Love. Love . . . “I’ll Get By—” Our Junior Play, “Sixteen in August,” will off be remembered by the adlibbing of “Gusty” and Cynthia” when “Mrs. Goodrich” almost lost her skirt and failed to return (by the way it was also a great financial success — money, money, money!) . . . And who could forget the “All Class Dance” when we made the enormous sum of $2.39 . . . When we went to graduation that year foremost in our minds was the thought that we’d be up there in ’45 . . . And so our junior year was over. ’44- ’45 And now we’re seniors. We have a new advisor, Mrs. Rich, and our officers are: Jean Driscoll. President; Doc Allen. Vice-President; Marge Siegwald, Secretary; Bill Mattoon, Treasurer; Verna Shekell and Harm Parmerter, Intermural Managers; Peg Merscher and Harm Parmerter, Student Council Representatives; Janet Call, President of Student Council. Our Senior Play, “Girl Shy, was presented in December and played to capacity houses. Those who attended both afternoon and evening performances, no doubt, noticed some slight change in the endings—due to conditions beyond our control. And thinking students were singing . . . One Meatball—” . . . Oh Give Me Lad, Lotsaland—” . . . “I’m Making Believe.” While we write this we are still making plans for the completion of our year as seniors ... a possible trip to Ithaca to be on the radio ... a Senior Ball, May 4th (maybe!) ... a class picnic . . . and then the big night, when with tears in our eyes we will clutch our diplomas and forever leave our dear old alma mater—snif, snif . . .
