CLASS HISTORY With graduation drawing nearer each day, we, the class of 1956. start digging into our treasure chest of memories for the events that have made up our high school history. Our senior year looked far away at the time of our entrance into the red brick structure on Oswego Street. Yes, this was our freshman year at Blodgett Vocational High School. As we enviously watched the upper- classmen. we all hoped that the days would fly by quickly to the time when we would be envied. When we passed on to our sophomore year, we felt brave enough to join in the school activities. We cer- tainly felt big looking down on the new crop of freshmen and making friends among the upperclassmen. This was a year in which we were very thankful, for a big new gym was built for us. And what a victorious year it was for our baseball team since Vocational made the city championship. Mr. Whiteside was added to the faculty as our new principal to replace Dr. Lang. We all found him helpful to us in the following two years. Passing, with a push from our brave teachers, we became excited juniors. We were greeted this year by 3 new vice principal, Mr. Broscoe, who lost no time in becoming our friend. Our junior year was darkened by the death of Marie Sposato, one of our friends in the senior class. At last the long awaited year arrived. There were so many things to do that we never had time to waste. The football, basketball, and baseball teams had never-ending practice in their seasonsg the cheerleaders found that practicing all stunmer wasn't enough, so a half hour before and after school occupied their timeg and the Choraliers and the Trebelettes by,their splendid performances showed that they, too, had practiced. The Yearbook Staff discovered that organizing a yearbook was far from easy. It took a lot of work, worry, and money, but we finally arranged a spectacular edition. The preparation for these activities wasn't all work and H0 play. f0I f00IbH11. basketball, and baseball games, the Choraliers Ball, the Senior Prom, the Allied Youth conference at Buckhill Falls, and Election Day for new Student Council officers gave us a big reward for all the hard work we had done. The senior meetings, our class rings, and our graduation pictures will help us to remember the wonderful times we had at Vocational, but most of all we 'll always remember the night we stepped up on the stage in answer to names to receive our cherished diplomas. Remembering all this brings laughter, pleasure, wondel-mem, satisfaction, and a little sadness. As we retum the priceless memories to our treasure chest of four happy years, we realize that here was the gayest, most exciting. most fun-filled. and most wonderful part of our lives.
