CLASS HISTORY In 1939 we, as a class, made our appearance a: Adams High School. From 1939 to 1946 we strug- gled through the first eight grades to become “green young Freshmen.” In our Freshman year we elected the following class officers to lead us through the first hard year: President—Barbara Kellogg, Vice President—Ramon LaLone. Secretary—Mary Ives, Treasurer—Mona Kinv berland. Coach Robert Pate was chosen as our advisor. YVe had many new members added to our class this year. Among them were Wayne Overton, Bert Pitkin. Ray Roberts. Ed Moore. Kay Moore. H.illis Shelmidine, Lester Zehr. Dave Porter, Dave Thomas, Robert Fowler, and Mona Kimberland. As far as activities went we didn’t do anything except a lot of planning. The following year we all became Sophomore;. Our Advisor was Miss Crabtree. Our Class officers were: President—Jill Larkin, Vice President—Lester Zehr, Secretary—Mary Ives. Treasurer—Bert Pitkin. The class did a lot of planning for a class picnic and finally went on one. We went to Selkirk State Park and a “great” deal of fun was had by all who attended. We had some new members join our class this year. They were Dina Jamsen. Janice La Cette, Sadie Corbin and Bill Ganci. Lester Zehr won the badminton finals in Utica. Good going. Lester. As we took the proud position of Juniors, we had for officers: Dave Thomas as President, Sue Ly- man as Vice President. Mary Ives as Secretary, Ber: Pitkin and Ray LaLone as Treasurer. Our advisor was Miss Reed. In October we ordered our class rings and when they came in November we were all very pleased with them. We held our first social event on May 19, which was a dance featuring the music of the Rider's of the Circle |. In June we held the traditional Junior Prom. Lester Zehr again went to Utica to rep- resent Adams in badminton but was defeated. We held a successful hayricle in the spring of 1950 and in the summer we went on another class picnic at Selkirk State Park. Dina Jansen. Janice LaCette, Bill Ganci and Sadie Corbin left us during the course of the year and Norman Percy left to join the U. S. Army. For our last but most important year at A.H.S. we selected Mrs. Howard as our advisor. Hollis Shelmidine was elected class President. Guy Cowles—Vice President. Mary Ives—Secretary, and Joan Laemmermann—Treasurer. We had only one new member join us this year. She is Joan Laemmermann from Watertown High School. The Senior Play. “The Groom Said No,” wa a big success and the students that took part cer- tainly enjoyed putting it on. We also had a Christmas Ball which was not such a big success but everyone had a nice time and enjoyed the music of Freddie Bastian’s Band. Our class colors are green and white and our flower is the yellow rose. For our motto we chose “After the battle the reward.” We held a Football Hop and several other r mnd and square dances during the year which proved very successful both in the financial and enjoyment field. The Yearbook stall, under the guidance of M s. Howard and Editor Guy (iowl.es. worked hard to publish a bigger and better yearbook “Memories.” f 13 ]
