When we finally started for home the weather a c eare an e sun glowed rosily on the horizon. Almost unanimously we passed into our Sophomore year. Cuyler Bengtson was elected our class president.

CAga1n we danced, played volley ball. ate ice cream and cake and went home fairly con- tented.l The success of the March 1 party called for another picnic at the close of the school year. Accordingly, we organized committees of all sorts and planned a repeat outing at Cayuga State Park. The weatherman this year favored us and we enjoyed ourselves thoroughly. Upperclassmen we were- That meant the Junior Prem and the purchasing of our rings. There were faint whisnerings of a trip to Washington but they were soon quelled: money was not available then, nor would it be available in lcoming months, so we concerned ourselves with things of the immediate future. Our rings came late in December of '39. Thev were handsome things and most of us' were 'pleased with them. Next came the Junior Prom fRomance Promi which was socially as well as financially one of the most successful events of several seasons. The elite of school and town danced to the smooth styling of Carl Dengler and His Orchestra in the new elalboratelv decorated gy-innasiumi. Those who attended the picnic at Roseland Park at the close of the year will no doubt recall some of the comical incidents which took place: Rcva's appetite for olivesg Mr. Dyke chasing a sponge cake as it rolled down the beachg .Miss Brown's coiffure after the wind had given it a permanent wave 2. our rides on the merry-go-round and the bumper cars. etc. The succes.s ot' our Junior year may be attributed to hardworking officers and the -class as a whole. Our officers were: president, Mary Jane Facerg vice-president, .s.hr1s Ruthven: secretary, Walter Gleasong treasurer, Cuyler Bengtson. At last we entered our Senior year and the time had Colne when it was necess- ary to really get down to work. Not that we especially liked work, but because we had to. The horrible thought of not graduating caused us to slave like demons in order that we might avoid the ultimate catastrophe that would inevitably face us. Efaltrcir Glealsloii was. elected president of the class. The vice-president was Cuyler eng son. e en Crough and Betty Sabin were chosen secretary and treasurer re- spectively. The Senior.Pla.y, under the direction of Mrs. Facer. was unidoubtedly thekmosttiitstarfding highlight of our whole career, Nlgmv of the CINS momberg oo ' ' ' I -DHI' IPCC?
