CLASS PROPHECY Ohl hi there Ed. I haven’t seen you since we graduated from old C. C. S. twenty years ago. Hello, Lee. Say, I wonder what our old buddies Roger, Don, Larry and Bill are doing? I hear that Roger finally bought out his father-in-law and now owns the Atlantic Service Station. As for Larry, I’m not too sure. I do know that he married a cute little blonde and was planning to make the Marines his career. Bill is a rich playboy but I’ll be darned if he doesn’t still drive that ’49 Chevy. Don just retired from his life-long ambition of being water-boy for the St. Louis Cardinals. Frank Brown and daughter, Norena, now patrol the city of Cohocton which has increased to fifteen hundred. Karen Enser is. now Mrs. Donald Rawleigh and she has seven kids. They just built an addition to their house. Marcia, wife of that dashing romeo, Tommy Shaver, has been kept pretty busy wih her increasing family. Margie, has married a rich man and has all the money and clothes she always wanted. Shirley Wheaton is now Karen’s housekeeper and baby sitter. Jean Vogt finally traded that green Chevy and its owner off for a newer model. She still drives right along. Joan is Mr. Fisher’s secretary. As she said, It is nice to have a great friend as your employer.” Teresa says, If your future is going to pot, reduce at my gym.” I hear you are doing all right as the sole owner of the Meese Milling establishment As for me, I am the engineer building the new bridge across the Cohocton River.

CLASS HISTORY Thirty-two bright, eager faces appeared over the threshold of the first grade room at Cohocton Central on a sunny September morning in 1943. Four members of the original class are still with us. They are: Teresa Centra, Edward Fisher, Joan Mehlenbacher and Lee Meese. Through the years we lost and gained a lot of kids but finally we hit our fresh- man year with a bang! We chose Larry Lippincott as leader of the outfit and Carol Mehlenbacher as his assistant. Joan Mehlenbacher scratched the notes and Ella May Sabins protected the loot. In order to increase the latter we sponsored two bake sales and had a whiz of a card party. Time flew by and we became sophomores. We chose Carol Mehlenbacher as “boss lady” and Bill Mclnnis as her assistant. Teresa Centra copied down the “blab” and Karen Enser took care of the “lettuce.” We sponsored a movie at Naples and made the grand profit of $15. Then a member of our clan thought we should have a card party which we did. Candy was sold at the Dairy Men's Dinner by us. The Sophomore Hop was our first social event. Before we knew it, we had become juniors. That year we chose Marcia Kimball as Captain and Carol Mehlenbacher as Vice-“Cap.” Marjorie Williams took the minutes and Joan Mehlenbacher had charge of the pot of gold. We checked coats at the Dairy Men's Dinner and made a “pretty penny.” Our play, “Crazy But Cute,” was a great success. Then we launched our biggest project, the Junior Prom. Our theme was “Dreamers' Holiday” and Carol Mehlenbacher was chosen as Queen. By now our class had succeeded pretty well in dominating the sports scene. Such athletic stalwarts as Spook Matthews, Roger Towner, Bill Mclnnis, Lee Meese, and Eddie Fisher heaped glory upon their class, their school, and themselves. In- citing these heroes to further mayhem against C.C.S. opponents were our irrepressible cheerleaders directed by the best of them all-- none other than our own Marge Williams. We finally reached our last year with fourteen in our class. The officers in our big year were: Bill Mclnnis, President; Karen Enser, Vice-President; Joan Mehlen- bacher, Secretary; Eddie Fisher, Treasurer. Our first project as seniors was the annual magazine drive and it turned out to be a fine success. We also had dances after basketball games and, of course, our biggest project, the yearbook. Our Senior play was presented in the spring. know. We've had a lot of fun during our years at C. C. S. and we shall miss them, we
