Class History In September of 195U our class began its high school career as sixty-seven humble freshmen, some of whom came from the outlying districts of Putnam and Streetroad. We elected Jane Morhouse as President, Dale Cronan as Vice President, Margo Foley as Treasurer, and Sally ’Vickes as Secretary. During the year, we held two successful dances and as the months wore on, we decided to try our talents at selling pencils, Christmas Cards and Wrappings. This venture proved Satisfactory and with part of the profits, we gave our first class supper. Thus with a bright horizon ahead, we concluded the first steps up that long stairway to graduation. In our Sophomore year, we elected Jane Morhouse as President, Sally Wickes as Vice President, Margo Foley as Treasurer, and Fredericka Newton as Secretary. To increase our treasury, we decided to sell ribbon and stationary and to hold a food sale. We also held four dances, one of which was the traditional Twirp Dance and, to add spice of variety, a Mad Hatter Dance at which prizes were given for the maddest hat. In March we decided to hold the annual supper. Ending our Sophomore year, we had advanced a few more steps with success. At last we were on the upper level of high school, we were Juniors. Bob Hill was elected President, Dale Cronan, Vice President, Jim Benjamin, Secretary, and Ronnie Allen, Treasurer. We continued to sell ribbon and Christmas Cards and again held a food sale and class supper. Our most important projects this year were the purchase of class rings, our plays, and our prom. Mr. Gooding directed Miggles, Miss Selleck directed A Night in the Country, and Mr. Rindsberg directed Danger. Next came the formal event of the year, the Junior Prom. Roman Gardens was selected for a theme and Jane Morhouse was chosen queen. With a great amount of work and determination, a fountain was made which received the praise of everyone and along with the beautiful mural and misty atmosphere of the blue lights, the gym was transformed Into a lovely dance floor. Now we are in our last year. No longer will we have to look over heads at an assembly or wait at dismissal. As Seniors, we are first. Our officers are Ronnie Allen, President, Jim Davis, Vice President, Jim Benjamin, Treasurer, and Fredericka Newton, Secretary. A Senior Tea was given by the College Club at the home of Mrs. Thomas Rider and the girls enjoyed themselves very much. In November, we held our last class supper; the menu was hotdogs and sauerkraut. In December we held our Alumni Ball and chose a king and queen from the alumni who attended. We also proudly took over the keys to the candy room and new shelves were made to display our goods. Looking in the future now, we see that final step. It has been a long, hard climb, but we are almost there. We sincerely thank Mrs. Carney, our class advisor, and all of our other teachers who through the years have helped us to achieve success in our high school career. Because of their help, we shall graduate this June as proud students of Ticonderoga High School. Moira Smith Brenda McGinty ZZ
