- ' x0 X Z The class of 1953 started making history even before the days of Pearl Harbor ln September 1940 we were twenty five strong when Mrs Norton welcomed us to the life we would be pursuing for quite a few years school' We have often heard the theory that a good beginning results rn a good ending Considering our early days, our school lrfe rn Skaneateles should be fully clrmaxed rn une In kindergarten Mrs Norton directed us rn group activities of play mg together We also enjoyed painting, srngrng and the other adventures of early school days which take place during this introductory year In the frrst grade we continued with many of our same endeavors, but Miss Thompson delved into reading lessons and we read' Mrs Salisbury really received a prize group when we walked rn because we could read that wasn t enough, however, since writing rs also important ln conyunction with writing we also learned the early fundamentals of all the math problems we would be solving throughout unror and Senior high school Miss Hunter rn third grade and Miss Stephens rn fourth grade saw our progress further with the study of geography and the social sciences Also, writing in rnk was permitted rn third grade Miss Hahn and Miss Burke really had brilliant fifth and sixth graders respectively, but they found that we had reached a stage of devrltry that becomes every youngster at this age When we completed our life rn srxth grade, we were academically equipped for high school Seventh grade was the beginning of high school lrfe Changing from one room to another every forty five minutes was a new experience, but one that we enyoy ed The exercise was good for us The belt line of keeping in order and rn single file was one which the Student Council administered so as to keep better grade Mrs Bentley and Mrs Burns were our advisors, and Miss Shultz and Miss Beardsley looked after us during the eighth grade lt was during these two years that we were introduced to class meetings, student council, red cross, dancing club and lunror high dramatrcs ln ninth grade Mrs Waterman and Mr Caskey navigated us safely through a highly successful year Our magazine subscription sale was tremendous because we made over three hundred dollars At this time, we chose our yunror high class rings and planned for our commencement banquet at the Country Club The annual Christmas party was a memorable one and our only graduation to take place from the school audi torrum will forever be a cherished one It seemed as though the studies got more drffrcult as we advanced, and rn tenth grade we encountered such obstacles as geometry and biology Coach Hyatt and Miss Goetz showed us the know-how of oper ating a Sophomore Circus, which was followed by a gala evening of dancing Tenth grade was really fun, accompanied by a just amount of school work The days of our yunror year in high school have a very special place rn our memories It was during this year that the material form of our alma mater was destroyed Miss Speno and Mrs Campbell advised us rn the selection of our class rings and worked with us rn the plans and preparations for our junior prom 'Rhapsody rn Blue Eleanor Richards was chosen to be queen of the prom and she was attended by E en 0'Shea and Margaret Smith lt was during this year that Allyn s Aces and Keebler s Karpenters staged an energetic campaign for offices rn Student Council and Red Cross lt was necessary to conduct the campaign speeches on two different days so that all students rn yunror and senior high school might have a chance to listen They were delivered in Grange Hall Now we discover that though all the school days were fun, the greatest pleasures come to the Seniors ' Seventeenth Summer was a gala performance which the seniors presented on November 14 and 15 rn Grange Hall lt yust seemed to be the right kind of a play for our class In February we danced at Cupid s Capers and then looked forward to the highlight of Commencement week end the senior ball During the school year Saturdays were busy ones for us because we held many bake sales and paper drives The entire class worked energetically because the ultimate goal was our class trip which we will be taking after graduation ln April we resumed Student Day after a lapse of one year Circumstances and obstacles drd not curtail our actrvrtres We can thank Mr Yates and Miss Antonnaci for standing by us and permitting us to have a very full senior year The frnal curtain rs about to fall but before it does we will be seen at the Country Club on une l9, all dressed up for our Senior Ball Sunday, june 21, we will march very somberly into Grange Hall and listen to the Bacculaureate and we wnll be given rnspuatron as we leave the sheltered area of high school On june 22 the class of l953 whose colors are red and white whose flower rs red roses and whose motto rs Today decides tomorrow will close an era of therr lives We will welcome our parents, teachers and friends to witness this great accomplishment when Natalie Nee gives her saluatatory Following the dis trtbutron of diplomas and awards, Margaret Smith will give our public farewell to those present when she delivers her valedrctory 21 , , C , A I 47 ffz P If 4 U A .
