SENIUH Glau FRESHMAN YEAR Believe it or not, the class that now has sixty-four members started off with only three! Mary Peason and Anne Marie Wolcott have left the class to join our sister school, Stoneleigh. Cindy Fuessenich loyally supported the class until this year. After Christmas vacation, Ioan Halliwell came in, adding a fourth member to the class and has been with us ever since. Miss Otteson was our class advisor. That year, Anne Marie sang her way into our hearts, bragged about her brother, lohnny, at Dartmouth lwhat a brother, by the waylll. Cindy made mole faces at Gracie, and loanie had roommate trouble. We had rating cards instead of points off and almost always We seemed to get an A or B, although once in a while we'd slip down a few grades. We had fun, but looked anxiously forward to our Sophomore year. SOPHOMORE YEAR This was the year that the Class of 1947 showed and promised Burnham what the future held in store. Eight surviving Seniors joined Ioanie and Cindy, and the class of twelve members led by Lynn lanelle, Ioy Kinney, Happy Laird and loan Phelps, progressed with spirit and determination. Our Sophomore dance gave us our first and final glimpse of Williston except for a few courageous individuals. We raised money by sweater raffles, selling food and war stamp sales. Lynn's doll was a great success! We were conscien- tious lout also quite devilish. We will now disclose that Brownie, Happy, loanie and Lynn were among the people who were responsible for Mrs. Hefter's misery. loy, Evie, Phelpsie and Trunz did nothing to make life easier for Mrs. Snyder. Looking forward to their great Senior year, Hap and Brownie wrote the class song. We could hardly close without recalling Ioan's and Lynn's Williston affairs, Happy's masculine paragon Bud and her poison oak, Brownie's fanatical interest in surgery lwhich included the careful study of twenty novels with colored illustrationsl, Phelpsie's interesting view from her Window, loy's beautiful room, and Myrna's devotion to Greenfield. Senior week, finals and our Sophomore year were soon all a thing of the past. 40
