 In the year 1954, the class of '58 became freshmen the proper way--by initiation. Girls with men's shirts, underwear, hip boots, pan hats and paper bag mittens and boys dressed as ladies with high heels, lipstick, ladies' hats and handbags performed stunts before an assembly. With Rodney Huff as president, Arlene Jandrow--vice-president, Martha Zwing --secretary, and Audrey Burke--treasur- er, we conducted a hobby sale, a food sale and sold ties to increase our treasury. As sophomores, we came under the leadership of Audrey Burke--president, Patricia Bink--vice- president, Eunice Maxson--secretary, and Elaine Frey--treasurer. Activities that year included a Victory Dance at school after a Berlin-New Lebanon basketball game, and a food sale. By the time our junior year rolled around, initiation had been discontinued. As compensation for missing the fun of this traditional event, the freshmen put on a dance from which we reaped the profits. With class officers of Hillar lives--president, Rodney Huff--vice-president. Doris Sandberg—secretary, and Audrey Burke--treasurer, the year saw quite a jump in treasury funds. A magazine sale in the fall got us off to a good start. A horse show put on in conjunction with the Stephentown Riding Club proved very profitable, although it meant an afternoon of hard work. Lastly came the Junior-Senior Prom. The theme, In Days of Old featured large coats of arms as wall decorations. One of the happiest days of that year came when our class rings finally arrived. You should have seen us running around trying to scrape up the money to get them before the weekend. The long-awaited title came as seventeen of us became seniors. Two goals--a good yearbook and a Washington trip were uppermost in our minds. To get the money to reach these goals, we produced the senior play, It's a Great Life , sold candy and soda at games and other events, put on a spaghetti supper, sponsored a donkey basketball game and sold earrings. Class president was Hillar lives, vice- president--Eunice Maxson, secretary--Doris Sandberg, and treasurer--Audrey Burke. Page 18
