CLASS HISTORY OW that we are seniors and almost ready to graduate, how many of the seniors want to leave Sodus Central? The answer is, not many. We suddenly dread the thought of leaving the teachers and homefl0rk that we have griped about so constantly and our big, beautiful new school building. Our present class originated in the first grade with the following people: Joan Fuller, Marilyn Kubber, Dolores Himes, Sally Fitzpatrick, Joan Buckman, Mary Jo Sprong, Mary Mills, Eileene Austin, Douglas Jordan, Milton Le Roy, Roger Eastley, and Dick Bissell. When we entered high school as freshmen, we were proud as punch. At last we were grown up! Nobody could tell us anything although our advisors, Miss Langley and Miss Lawrence, tried. Dick Bissell was the class president and Joan Fuller, the vice-president. Our secretary was Al Hermenet, while Mary Jo helped as treasurer. Joan Williamson was our Student Council representative. That year we sent S10 to CARE, but our heckling of coach in study hall and the ordeals of Freshman Initiation fSal1y Fitzpatrick, Queen and Dick Neverless, King, left us too weak for any other activities. In our sophomore year, we were becoming better and better acquainted with the upper classmen and slightly better acquainted with our books. That year we were pretty proud of what we accomplished. We sold Sodus Central kerchiefs, sponsored a Pete and Joe show, and sold popcorn at basketball games. The people who brought us through that hectic year were Al Hermenet as our presidentg Stan Doyle, vice-presidentg Martha Cahoon, secretaryg and Marian Buckman held the purse strings: Mary Jo represented us in Student Council. Our advisors were Mrs. Chapman and Mr. Raethka. As we began our junior year at Sodus Central, we came with the premonition of hard work ahead of us. There sure was! We had to get on the ball if we wanted to go to New York in our senior year. We got off to a flying start by selling magazine subscriptions to earn not only a great deal of money, but also a placque. Then, too, we put on a dinner which was a great success. During the Christmas season we sold cards and wrapping paper. All the time we were climbing closer and closer to our goal for the New York trip. The arrival of our long- awaited class rings finally established us as upper-classmen. The people who guided us through this busy and exciting year were Dick Bissell as our president while Joan Fuller stood by as our vice-president. Marlene perce inherited the book of minutes while Jean Annable's pockets jingled with our money. Mary Jo and Dick Giljam spoke for us in Student Council, Miss Gaus and Mr. Shaver stood by as class advisors. As we entered our senior year at SCS, we were all sorry that this was to be our last year together. Our class of fifty-four, the first to be graduated from this new school, is also the largest ever to be graduated from Sodus. At the beginning of the year, we still did not have enough money for our trip. In November, we put on another money-making project, the play Our Hearts Were Young and Gay. This turned out to be the greatest success that we had ever had. Then came the glamorous Christmas Ball, our first dance of our four years in high school. Dolores Himes and Al Hermenet were queen and king of this. Another money-making project was our selling of Sodus Central pins. .Ioan Fuller guided us through this last year, while Dick Giljam helped as our vice-president. Dolores Himes kept the minutes, while Marlene was our faithful treasurer. Mary Jo and Gaylord Seelye were Student Council representatives. Let us not forget two very popular boys, Stan Doyle and Tom Huff, who were called into the Marines at the beginning of 1951. Every senior misses these boys and wishes they were here with us. Special mention should be given to the two people who have helped greatly this year and have kept peace at our class meetings, Miss Moore and Mr. De Vall, our class advisors. . And so with thoughts of the New York trip yet to come, and long-awaited, dreamed-of graduation, we end the annuals of the Class of '5l. Z0
