GlaAA ctttii uf, An eternity ago, we entered kindergarten. We were all very anxious to start school; our older brothers and sisters had told us all about it, and it seemed as if we just couldn't wait. Nevertheless, we were glad to have our parents bring us on that first day. After the first shy greetings, we began to make friends with each other. We soon found that we were all rugged individualists; many of our personalities clashed. Our teacher must have had a hard time trying to show us that our wishes weren't particularly important to anyone else. That first year was largely one of learning to work together as a social unit. However, we wanted very much to have friends, and soon we were all bosom pals. As we progressed through the first six grades, we had many memorable experiences. One of these was our annual operetta. Our voices weren’t always on pitch, and sometimes we forgot our lines; but you should have heard the audience applaud! Maybe they were prejudiced in our favor. At any rate, they were almost entirely comprised of our parents. Of course, we’ll never forget Halloween. Each year, on the 31st of October, we came to school, not as students in search of education, but as witches, ghosts, cowboys, and pirates in search of a wonderful time. Although theoretically the main object was to scare everyone else, nobody was cowed. Instead, we had a fine time deciding who was peering out at us from under each mask. It always turned out that the persons with the simplest costumes were the hardest to identify. The ghosts, with merely a white sheet over them, could only be detected by a process of elimination. The parade through the school was fun, but we suspected that the “high school people enjoyed it more than we did. It goes without saying that the parties after the parades were enjoyed by all of us. Then, in the evening, we ventured forth to go “tricks or treating. The ironic part of this was that we usually secured all the treats, while the older boys played all the tricks. The Mother's Club, meaning well, tried to curb the vandalism by giving us a party at night. However, we weren’t the most unselfish people in the w'orld, and we preferred to make the rounds of the villagers and collect a bagful of goodies, rather than spend an hour standing in line in the school hall; waiting to have our costumes judged. These, of course, are isolated examples of the pleasant memories we have of these early years. Naturally, our most vivid recollection is of the ordinary school life, with our teachers developing in us the traits we needed to progress in school and life. In 1948, we started in Junior High. We had long ago left the stage when we looked up to our teachers as gods. Instead, we had a fine time trying to become mischievous prototypes of Tom Sawyer or Thomas Bailey Aldrich. In the Seventh Grade, we became “businessmen for a week. In our math class, all of us started “businesses, carried on cutthroat advertising campaigns, had price wars, and, in general, had a wonderful time learning the intricacies of the business world. Our Eighth Grade year will always be outstanding in our memories because of the election. We had a political campaign for the class offices that any political party could be proud of. After several weeks, our candidates were nominated, our speeches were made, and the election was over. Then the new officers swung into action with such popular measures as dues, fines for chewing gum, etc. Of course, we'll never forget the cannasta parties that year. And we started our practice of thinking up money-making schemes, which characterized our entire high school career. Finally, we entered high school. With much anticipation, and a little foreboding, we un- dertook the payoff for our previous eight years' efforts. As a group, we began planning for a trip in our Senior year. I suppose Miss Hasselback, now Mrs. Flannagan, our Freshman advisor, and Coach Pate, our Sophomore advisor, will never have any trouble recalling our noisy class meetings. Our innumerable food sales and vie dances brought in money, extremely slowly. A friendly rivalry developed between our class and the Class of '53 over money-making privileges. By this time, most of us had long before discovered the opposite sex, and this was a period of adjusting to the new scheme of things. The spectacle at most dances of the girls dancing with each other while the boys had bull sessions at the side became common. It took quite a while for us to discover that our desires were mutual. Our upperclass years are the most memorable of all. The ponderous history assignments, the fascination of working in the science lab, the fascination of doing English grammar lessons, the debates in English and history class; all these are unforgettable. Our activities during this period were extensive. Many of the boys went out for the varsity sports, while the girls kept pace by being cheerleaders. However, we developed other interests, too. A few of the boys were charter members of the Bachelor’s Club. Several girls revived the girl’s sextet. As a class, we had many activities. Miss Reed, our Junior advisor, and Mrs. Howard, our Senior advisor, were often kept busy helping us with our projects. Our Senior play, “Tons of Money,” its many phases of learning, rehearsing, and performing, was compellingly interesting for us. At first, there were tons of lines to be learned. Later, when we could recite them with a reasonable degree of proficiency, we struggled through many re- hearsals. Finally, the day of the performance arrived. It has its tense moments! We’ll never forget the agonizing moments we experienced when that firecracker refused to go off in the first act. Two attitudes were characteristic of our class throughout high school. First, as a matter of pride, we wanted anything done in our name to be the best. Second, we could see no reason why we should carry out our projects in the same way they “always had been done.” We believed that we had reached the stage where we could carry out our activities without detailed guidance in every minute phase. Sometimes, these characteristics caused trouble between us and the faculty. Usually they resulted in improved quality in our activities. For our Junior Prom, we hired an excellent orchestra, (Nick Sterio’s). We spent so much time preparing the decora- tions that we hated to see them torn down. For our Christmas Ball in our Senior year, we hired Fred Bastian and his Orchestra, who did a marvelous job for us. And, in the publishing of this yearbook, we have tried to make it as interesting as possible by using several new ideas. Thus, by doing things a little better, or a little differently, we feel that we have added something to the traditions of the school. Now, with graduation nearly upon us, having gradually learned to accept responsibility and to make our own decisions, we stand ready to tackle the problems of maturity; again “with much anticipation, and a little foreboding.” 7La t SHtU anb Testament The Senior Class of the Adams Hijrh School of Adams in the County of Jefferson and State of New York, being of sound mind and memory, do make, publish and declare this our last ©Hill flllb CfStament, in manner following that is to say: First—Jane Adams leaves her long hair to Susan Hale. Bruce Crast leaves his ability to avoid homework to Charles Sinclair. Ida Shelmidine wills a string of ranch tickets to Bill LaComb. Avoid intermissions, Bill! Marilyn Brown leaves her idea of going “steady” to Nancy Farrand. Janice Dillabaugh passes on an 8 pound package of air mail stamps to Shirley Tamblin for all that overseas writing. Ruth Reeves gives her vast supply of history books to Carl Patten. They’re good for kindling if nothing else. To Ken Hockey, Bob Miller leaves his false teeth. Save ’em, Ken; you may need them in a few years. June Dowker leaves her seat in the balcony of the Avon to Genevieve Groves. We know you’ll have as much fun as she did.

I began to won- der about my fellow classmates. I decided right then and there I was going to find out about them. I knew something about some of them but not all, so the next day I started my journey and this is what I found out: I found out that Steve Burns is now running his own barber shop. Mrs. Steve Burns, formally Jenny Groves was his first victim. He doesn’t have to worry about business because he’s got enough little Steves so he can get enough practice on his special haircuts. His fancy haircuts are called “Steve’s Special.” We all remember them from back in our high school days. I found out that Kathryn Groves is still going steady with Buzz Reed. We’re beginning to wonder when they are going to get hitched. She is still buzzing even though she hasn’t Buzz yet because I found that she owns a small beehive on the outskirts of Lorraine. She is trying to make a small profit for their future home and maybe buy more bees. I found out that June Dowker has joined the rank of June Allyson, even though she hasn’t blond hair. I found that she carries'her old date book with her. She may not end up with a baseball player but she might get a wrestler. I have recently heard that the former Miss Sylvia Nichols, now Mrs. Fred Galvan of Dallas, Texas, and her husband have moved to Vermont to join the lumber-jacks. She is trying to cut trees and take care of her little Jacks at the same time. They are trying to live in their little shack of leaves and tree branches until they get enough wood cut to build their future home. At the present time Miss Marilyn Brown is working in a large department store in some city in California. We hear she is working in the Men’s Clothing Department where she is try- ing to catch her man. Now, we see how that she is happily married to Frank Golding. Miss Mary Kehoe, now a great lawyer in Boston, Mass., has helped break up many marriage cases. During her years being a lawyer, many of her classmates have visited her on such cases as divorces, drunken driving, and murders. So far she has steered them all clear. We see she is also married to the love of her life and has two children. Bob Miller is now married to Jane (Adams) Miller and has four kids. He is also the Shop Teacher at Adams High School. Dick Heald is back from the Marines after seeing if he could beat his brother in rank. He’s still looking for the right girl. Leslie Sprague has gained some height and is married and the father of five daughters. Bob Leuze is now Dean of Yale College and has won many high honors and degrees. Ray Berry is now the owner of a 1,000 acre farm. He has a big family to go with it. I have recently heard that the former Miss Anne Priest now Mrs. Ronnie Trowbridge, is living on their 500 acre farm in Worth. It keeps her busy between working in the fields and taking care of her little chicks in the home. At the time they have seven but they wish many more. Mrs. David Iredale, the former Ruth Reeves now in joint ownership of Hotel Adams, a history teacher of Adams High School, has a great future ahead of her. Just think in about 35 years she’ll be able to settle down with a big pension and think about litle hotels that have recently sprung up in different sections of Adams being run by her many sons and daughters as well as her grandchildren. But the main old “Hotel Adams” that sits on Church Street is still going strong. It will always be noted for its history. I recently read in the daily paper that Virgil Robarge has been ordained to the Catholic Preisthood. He expects to be sent as a missionary to the monkeys of Africa. I have recently heard that Kathleen Murphy is on the go again. This time she is leaving Las Vegas where she has been painting the town red for the last two weeks. She is now on her way to New York to represent the New York Mirror. We hear that Willemina Reed has started a beauty salon over in her section of the country known as Algona.” She is now making a small fortune on her unsuccessful beauty treatments to her neighbors and far-away friends. Her close friends know enough to keep away. Marie Filson has always been well known for her army career. Now she doesn’t worry any- more because she has finally caught her Five Star General” and now she has a troop of her own. Mrs. Richard Cheever, the former Janice Dillabaugh now belongs to the Women’s Auxiliary of the Smithville Fire Department. Mrs. Cheever has accepted all homeless children into her home because she feels responsible for them as her husband is chief of the Fire Department. She now has 43 children. Ida Shelmidine has come home from her ranch type house in Texas for the Christmas holi- days. She has been trying to pipe oil from Texas to Lorraine and has finally succeeded. But Christmas morning the town of Lorraine was shattered slightly when the oil pump near Shel- midine’s house exploded with a loud Bang.” It is believed that Santa Claus was trying to get a drink of water for his reindeer at the time of the explosion. Mrs. Robert Weldon the former Marcia Dickinson, is now living in Smithville with her husband Bob and family, Jane 7. Bob Jr. 4, and Jean 2, and another on its way. If it is a boy it will be a tie score between the boys and girls. Helen Remington, now the wife of Lloyd Edwin Weaver Jr. of Alexandria Bay is very happy in their beautiful home. We just heard that Helen is the proud mother of twins, Laura and Lloyd Edwin Weaver the third. „ ,uane wdi T’ afte,r ten years’ is sti11 lookinK for the right one, although her roommate Kathleen Murphy thinks that Jane has already found him. Jane now has the job of private secretary to the firm of Johnson and Johnson. Captain Edward Heinrich of the U. S. Navy is still looking forward to becoming an Admiral. He also is looking forward to his leave which will be spent with his wife and family. Mr. Leonard Crast Jr., to us just Bruce Crast, is a big wheel in the airplane world. He now owns a large number of stocks in many airline companies, one of them is the TWA Bruce, don’t forget us little ones in Adams Today we can see a great actor on Broadway by the name of Carl Trowbridge. Not many will remember that ten years ago he got his start in a Senior High School plav. His high school English teacher will be proud to know this. . . . GIgm l . SENIOR CLASS First Row: Mary Kehoe.

Adams finished with a total of 34' o points which was second in total points. The boys which participated and placed are as follows: Nelson Howard, 1st 100 yd. dash, 1st broad jump and member of 1st place 880 relay team. William Groff, 4th in 220 yd. dash and member of 1st place 880 yd. relay team. Robert Smith, 2nd 440 yd. run, tied 2nd for high jump. James Bezner, 1st high jump. Richard Heald, 4th high jump, tied 2nd pole vault, member of 1st place 880 yd. relay team, and 2nd in high jump. Steve Burns, 4th shot put. John Taylor tied 2nd pole vault. The following boys broke Oswego-Jefferson League track records. Nelson Howard is to be praised for his being the outstanding trackman in the league by setting records in all three events participated in. Nelson Howard—1st place 100 yd. dash. Time 10.6 seconds. Nelson Howard—1st place broad jump 18' 11 . Nelson Howard, William Groff, Richard Heald, Donald Larkin—1st place in 880 yd. relay— The competition in intramural sports was great and many from all classes in high school participated. The year began with the boys playing touch football. The girls were sure they could beat the champions, the Seniors, but they weren’t given an opportunity. Then the soccer teams were organized and after many bruised shins, the Junior Boys came out champions and the senior girls. Then came the real competition, Basketball. Many exciting games were played and finally after a little luck and a lot of “hot shots,” the Senior Boys and the Sophomore girls “C” teams were crowned champions. Now it was time to show individual skill when Badminton singles and doubles, table tennis, quoits, and shuffleboard began. The A. H. S. champ for boys’ single Badminton was Bob Miller and girls’ was Florence Schofield. The doubles were really exciting and the champions finally turned out to be Florence Schofield and Bethyle Hunt for the girls and Bob Miller and George Grimshaw for the boys. Table tennis, though not too exerting, proved to be just as exciting as some of the more strenuous sports. Ralph Cook and Mary Kehoe proved to be the ping-pong champs for boys and girls respectively. Shuffleboard, too, was competitive and Florence Schofield and Bill LaComb took the honors. Boys’ quoits was won by George Grimshaw. Soon the softball and tennis season will be here and more friendly rivals will be battling for those ever-loved blue ribbons. 1:45.4. JUNIOR CHORUS First Row: Trudie Ortlieb. Lana Graves.
