H 1- 1 - e -.- '- la I m i U, I5 7-Of? Y its T igger 'f lt all started in '41, and I can see it as plain now as I did then. Our present seniors started out on that brisk September morning, thirteen strong, to enter the kindergarten of Skaneateles High School. It was in those hallowed halls that we were to make lasting friendships and spend the happiest years of our lives. Of course, we were young then and didn't have the experience we do now, but we were a determined group and caught on quickly. After a seemingly interminable time-learning to tie our shoelaces and make finger paintings-we all managed to stumble into first grade, only to have Miss McLaughlin confront us with the insurmountable problem of learning how to spell the-days of the week. Man-we'd had it! How we ever got through that is beyond me. That reading too-we really got that thrown at us by Mrs. Salisbury in second grade. But if anyone ever thought spelling or reading was tough , then they never took third grade math! Brother--how Miss llunter taught us that, l'll never know! However, the worst was yet to come, for in the fourth grade was multiplication and then even more impossible---division! What did they expect from us anyway---miracles? Under the expert tutelege of Miss Stephens, Miss Hahn, and Mrs. Burke, who found us to be, of course, an exceptionally brilliant group, although we were inclined to deviltry, we put 4th, Sth, and 6th grades behind us and finished the preliminaries in a blaze of glory and prepared to enter the un- known labyrinth upstairs. We were greeted in 7th grade by the condescending looks of the upperclassmen, who treated our stumbling antics as a form of personal amusement. Despite the endless maze of corridors and the infernal ringing of bells, we finally settled down and selected Dick Chapman to guide our tottering Ship of State. We later became introduced to the Student Council, junior Red Cross, and various other activities and soon became accustomed to this type of school life and decided we liked it. We managed to finish the year, and in eighth grade we became steady and firm and were even able to laugh a little ourselves at the plight of the poor seventh graders. That year we chose joe McDonald to see us through. We held the reins once more in 9th grade, as we turned in a spectacular year under the supervision of Mrs. Waterman and Mr. Caskey. We were firmly entrenched in S.C.S. school life now and under Charley Kehoe's direction, we started our Sophomore year and commenced big plans for our Sophomore Circus . We would have been a cinch to put on the best ever, too. The unforgettable tragedy in the school not only ruined these plans, but turned us out to pasture on the campusof the newly warmed Skaneateles Central School. We were sorry about the school fire because it meant the end of many things integrally connected with school life, but we were determined and entered our junior year with renewed vigor. We chose Dick Chapman to lead us and had Miss Speno and Miss Reeves to help us. Together we chose our Senior rings and staged a beautiful junior Prom Noctume , that was reigned over by beauteous queen jo Donaldson and her court. At the close of the year a close duel was fought for the Student Council and jr. Red Cross offices between Dick's Demons and Kehoe's Keynotes. It was a close battle all the way and provided a fitting climax to a great year. Then came the greatest year of all--we became mighty Seniors!! Along with the direction of Mr. Yates and Miss Antonacci, we chose Ron West to steer our craft, and for his aides we elected Dick Chapman, Judy Steams, and Marilyn Bentley. We entered our great new Central School in glory and proceeded to make a lasting mark in its record book. We selected the white rose for our flower and blue and white for our colors. Many activities were advanced to raise the necessary funds for our long-awaited class trip and we chose New York as our destination. The Senior play, Our Gal Sal , was a success in itself, but using the beautiful new auditorium was a first of which we were very proud. Scholastically we were pleased to find Eileen Heffernan and joe McDonald riding high at the helm. We held two dances during the year-- one was the infonnal record dance held in the grade school gym and the other was our great finale, the Senior Ball. Graduation week-end was a very busy time with Baccalaureate Service on Sunday evening and graduation on Monday evening. And, as all good things must come to an end, so did our high school days--but the memories will live on to be cherished forever. he 'F1 'Mini 20 fi A 1
