GQJJ jflsfory The year of 1945 saw a change in the two rooms on first floor known as kindergarten. What caused this change? Why, it was only Richard Ackerman, Myrtle Weaver, Ann Burdick, Phyllis Conklin, Roger Johnson, Charles Lloyd, Roger Williams, Ronald Zorda, Kay Chase, Dave Fitzgerald, Janette Jones, Ken Fairchild, Karl Gregory, Dick wood, Barb Brown, Sharon walkden, Rod Whitacre, and Calvin Lloyd also added to the change. These were the original eighteen members of the class of '58, ln this year Rod brought a white rabbit to school one day and it got loose. What a riot that was. Mrs. Manchester had quite a distracting time trying to catch the poor creature. Also, this was the year Roger Johnson would pretend he was sick so he wouldn't have to go to school. His mother took him to the doctors on one of these so-called sick days. Poor Rogl In first grade we were asked to bring clothes and food for the Care program. Some of us received letters from the people across the ocean, thanking us. Everett Eiholzer joined us in this year. Ann Franco and Tom Hardy joined our merry circle in second grade. Third grade brought Catherine Ballister, Rosemary Schworm, Therese Gracyalny, Ann Coleman and Gloria Dye fwho even then was gigglingj. During this year the third and fourth grades went to Norwich to see the movie - The Wizard of Oz. The post office also was visited by us and we found it quite different from the game, post office - which we used to play. Flora Lloyd and Bob Baker joined us in fourth grade. This was the year we had a grocery store. Everyone stood in line and took turns buying - boxes of food. The other grades would come in and watch us. Fifth grade admitted Beverly Johnsen, the angel of the class. Sixth grade brought another addition which certainly added spice to the class of '58, This was the pretty little red head, Harriet Willis. This was the year we all became bird watchers, and every noon we trotted outdoors to bother some poor little bird standing and staring at him, Mrs. Robbins was the one who interested us in this activity, and from now on the birds were to have no privacy. We girls also put on a fashion show this year. Up to this time there had been 35 pupils who had come and gone from our class. Our junior high years brought Bernard Matteson fwho, by the way, forgot to move ahead with his classy, Jim Sanford in seventh grade and J oye Taylor, who came from New Jersey with a Jersey accent, in the eighth grade. Ann Coleman left us just before Christmas for New Jersey. Freshman and Sophomore years saw us trying to earn money for the day when we would go to Wash- ington on our Senior trip. We had bake sales, dances, and basketball games. Dale La Fond, from Morris, found his way into our nest during the freshman year. Also, during this year we elected Miss Pepper and Mr. Butts as our class advisors for the next four years. In our Junior year we received our class rings and that special event, the Junior Prom. We had the Starlighters from Binghamton for our music and they did a wonderful job. Our theme was - Moonlight and Roses - Katie Chase and Dick Ackerman were chosen King and Queen. Bernie Faulstick joined our class in this year from Utica. Finally, our Senior year came with our Senior Play entitled Call Me Darling - Mrs. Beardelee was our director until about the last two weeks of rehearsal when she became ill and was in the hospital. Miss Pepper took over for her. They both worked very hard and faithfully with us and were rewarded with the play being a huge success. Ann Coleman rejoined us in this year. We also had our Christmas Ball entitled Winter Wonderland with the Starlighters again for our music. Our decorations were very pretty and the punch was very delicious.

gas! azzof yesfamenf With reluctant hearts, we, the class of '58, the loving symbol of creation, leave our last will and testament of this Alma Mater in which we have completed many glorious years of sentimental occasions to the oncoming generation. Instead of the usual sugar-coated analysis, we shall be concise and to the point in reiterating that this structure on the hill is no IVORY TOWER, but four years of pure blood, sweat, and tears. We. therefore, leave you with one great experience lesson, namely, the use of the oval objects resting on your shoulders for thinking pure, concentrative, unadulterated, laborious thought. You see, we failed to consider it as such. Instead we polished our brain cases and used them for displaying animal tails and odd shaped brushes. Despite our carefree ways, we 35 compact mortals will embark into the realm of adulthood abounding with ancedotes and facts. We, the undersigned, leave the following little priceless possessions that we truly feel will enrich your coming year, U O O Theresa Gracyalny leaves her ability to sweep away the dark clouds to Lucille T alcott.
