A History As we look thirteen years into the past, we see the fourteen original small frys scheming to make their teachers miserable. These honorable personalities were none other than Barbara Angell, Foster Button, Helen Chase, Mary Lou Church, Lee Cooper, Betty Fairchild and Barbara Fletcher. At this point we see Barb Clubbing one of the boys because he wouldn't let her play with the little red fire engine. Gerald Grefory, Betty Guller, Dick Meyers, Jill Slentz, Bernadine Smith, Elizabeth Webb and Martha Williams completed the roster. Upon entering the first grade, we have several newcomers: Rodger Brown, Mary Louise Conklin and John Larchar. From all the gossip, it was in this year that Johnny was seen sneaking a kiss to Martha Will- iams, in the dark halls while passing from room to room. In second grade, Joan Hazard joined our happy clan. Mrs. Lowe was our third grade teacher. She would put the hottest toothache drops on our tongues if we were caught misbehaving. Donald Chapman, John Heins, and Clifford Jones joined us here. Ann Marie Gracyalny, the girl with the smile, joined us in the fourth grade. It was in the fifth grade that a certain individual upset a display table and had Mrs. Angell in tears because a poor little gold fish lay wriggling nearby on the floor. This grade admitted Peter Fish, Brenda Izard, Helen Lucey, Roger Porter and Warren Rolen. As we entered Junior High School we found our classes entirely different. To the confused were added Ruth Bice, Ralph Davis, David Sawyer, Bill Simmons, and Diane Slentzg nicknamed 'Baby of the Class, because she was so much younger than the rest of us. Barbara Collier, The smallest varsity Cheerleader, joined us in the eighth grade. As we left Junior High and entered Senior High, we began earning money for that big event, our Senior Trip to Washington, D. C. . Our activities began by having Bake sales, Basketball games and the Symphony Orchestra. Our class officers were Helen Chase, President: Roger Porter, Vice President: Eliza- beth Webb, Secretaryg and Barb Fletcher as Treasurer. Donald Taylor joined us in this year. In the Sophomore year, we ordered our class rings. Barbara Collier appeared in the annual Minstrel show. Brenda Izard was President of this year's class. In our Junior year, the most remembered event was the Junior Prom with Bill Simmons and Barb Fletcher as King and Queen. Their attendants were Roger Porter, Jill Slentz, Dick Meyers, Ann Gracy- alny, John Larchar and Helen Chase. Also this year we presented our Junior play: NO BOYS ALLOWED, directed by Mr. Speigel. Don Taylor as Mr. Midnight, learned to hug Martha Williams. He was timid, but now we can't keep him away from the Five Corners. A pair of twins joined us here, Charles and Charlotte Lacey, two pixies with high principles. It was a long, hard climb but we finally earned the title of Seniors, We presented the Senior play, PLEASE TA MEETCHA, directed by Mrs. Beardslee. The annual Senior Ball was held December 21, 1956, with Dick Meyers and Ann Gracyalny presiding as Mr. and Mrs. Santa Claus. Ken Cassidy, dressed as a dude, joined us in this Senior year. On April 22, 1957, at 6:30 p. m. our class journeyed to Washington, D. C. via Greyhound bus. A few memories will linger in our minds always such as: leaving Barb Angell at the Lincoln Memorialp Barb Fletcher and Jill Slentz discover an eighth floor in a seven floor hotelg invasion of the Lotus Club by Dick, Ann, Cliff, Helen L. , Ioan and Liz Webb. We hear that those Washington cigars are a little rugged. Know anything about this Diane S. and Helen C. 72? A few of the interesting places we visited were: the F. B. I. building, the tomb of the Unknown Soldier, the Zoo, the Capitol and the White House. We are now working and waiting for Graduation Day, June 24, 1957. By Jill Slentz
