Senior Class History Ouch! Ch it's you, Bill! Doug Catlin reminiscently rubbed his eyes. I was dreaming I was a Freshman getting initiated when bang! you hit me. Gee! that was some initiaiion we had. Remember Norm De Neef proposing to Adriana Ver Muelen ? Yes, and you played the piano while Crawf sang the Alma Mater. Doug was talking now, and Bill Adams settled comfortably on the grass content to listen. Jimmie Meyers was our Freshman president. Yes, interrupted Bill, but he was sick during our Sophomore year, and Curt took his place. Elizabeth Van Hee was our secretary for the first three years, continued Doug disregarding Bill's interruptions. Whoa! yelled Bill, the teachers friend, Don't leave out our advisors. Mr. Lewis and Miss Bunce filled the posts, during our Freshman year, and Mr. Kelly and Miss Lawrence during our Sophomore year. Yeah, hollered Doug, now getting really mad at Bill's interruptions, remem- ber our Sophomore picnic, and how sad everybody was to see Mr. Kelly go, and how we sang Happy Birthday to Liz Van Hee. What happened during our junior year F said Bill, noticing Doug's irritation. Well, said Doug, we had a contest to collect class dues and nobody paid, So we had a party anyhow. June l we had the junor Prom. Remember Ray DeWolf dancing with Betty Topping? lVe had a picnic at Owasco. Remember how scared we all were after seeing the Bride of Fl'l1l'll?6lI.S'fCI'l1?U 'lAt last our dear old Senior year, continued Doug. 'gRemember Ray and me with our cider concession at the Carnival F Sure, broke in Bill, how could l forget all that ticket mess for Amateur Nite? But it was a success, anyhow. And, sighed Bill, with the aspects of a green-eyed monster, remember Alice Lockner and Irving Beal fRochesterj on the train? Everybody was late on the trip, and we had to wait for Morman De Neef and Jean Toor to walk down the VVashington,Monument, it is rumored, be- cause she stopped to comb his hair on every landing. Chl we almost forgot that Murdered Alitfef' shuddered Doug. I could take everybody's part except Liz Van Hee's screaming. Well, said Bill, I've got to be going, and he left Doug to continue his nap. wi 14 E+'-

Though as Freshmen we were discouraged We started learning the Iirst day, That always studies must come first And afterwards, our play. When we were promoted to Sophomores And passed onward and upward a year, We envied the dignified Seniors And knew that the goal drew near. .Xs .luniors we attained many things And we hope to complete many more So our class will be always remembered With the classes that have gone before. With the Long-sought for title of Seniors 1Ve pass into the hands of the fates We know that we must stick to our motto- HHOIIOI' Awaits at Laborlv Gates. We hope to set an example For classes to follow through Until the end of their four years W' hen they pass outward, too. We'll find ourselves remembering When we are old and gray, The good times we had in Sodus, Midst work and toil and play. WILMA SEAGER. 13 ii'-

Junior Class l'i l1f'rv, oh, rulierc are the Jolly Juniors? Sufi: safe in flu' .5l!'1Il.Ul' L'!il.r.v. Um' motto, Hl'fl'!l l'v0I!l' llvtlfjllll lo it Stair, has brought us through a third suc- cessful year. We understood we were to he the soeialites of the school. and so the Junior Party in October was our hrst attempt in living up to our reputation. XVe danced to the radio and played bridge. During the year we looked forward to our crowning event, the junior l'ron1. Transforining the gymnasium into a ship and feeling very nautical, we daneed to the strains of George liliott and his Com' manders. .Xs the S. S. Soduskania came into port. the juniors and their guests walked down the gangplank, perhaps with a sigh of regret to become next year the grave old Seniors. Sometimes we've had our serious moments, too. XYhen the Seniors Came hack from Washington with inviting tales of a grand time, we turned our efforts to selling candy and stationery in preparation for our own trip next year. XVe helped the Seniors out with our play, Tlirvr C'l1'11gi11A11 Vines. Those who held the reins to guide us were: President .................., ...eXR1.ANn NVHITE Vive-Pr'esz'cir11f . . .......
