J4i toxy of the 49 ex4 Our first important event as freshmen was the election of our first class officers. Under th,e guidance of Miss Daniels and Mr. Rynders, we elected, President, Fred Tucci; Vice President, Donald Clark; Secretaiy, Theresa LeBlanc; Treasurer, John Hallagan. The third week in September, “Hail Sophomore” was heard for three eventful days as we paid our respects to the mighty sophomores. Although we1 hated to admit it, we had just as good a time as the semho- mores did. Our next big event was our participa- tion in the annual Halloween Partji. We had fortune telling and showed movies to earn some extra money for our empty treasury. We held a dance and a party during the ytfar. We returned to C. II, S. jn'. September 1046, as wise and promiitent 'sophomores to elect the following officers: President, Mi- chael Milmoe; Vice President,’Nancy Burke; Secretary, Betty Lannis; and Treasurer Dou- glas Chapman. Later, for three glorious days, we initiated the lowly freshmen and ended it with a black list program. Later in the year, we purchased our class window of gold with a blue crest. In December, together with the seniors, a Christmas concert was presented by father Furfaro’s choir from Syracuse. Despite the heavy snow storm, the choir ar- rived, late, but in good voice. In the spring, we held a Sophomore- Freshman picnic event at Green Lake. The day was ideal and everything went perfect until there occurred a slight accident in which two girls fell (???) into the lake, clothes and all. The next fall we received our long await- ed seats in study hall as Juniors. For this e- vcntful year, we had as class officers, Presi- dent, Gerry Cox; Vice President, Shibley I’ixley; Treasurer, Donald Clark; Secretary, Nancy Burke. During this year, we held three dances along with several activities at the annual Halloween party. After two months of impatient waiting, our class rings arrived and our third finger left hand was conspicuous forever after, (two weeks). Our biggest social event of the year, was our Junior Prom hejd on April 2 to the theme of “April Showers” with Freddie Vare and his orchestra. At the end of the term, we were host to the seniors at the annual Junior-Senior picnic at Green Lake. We all had a glorious time and the baseball team played remark- ably well, covered from head to foot with mud. With tm? memories of our Junior year still fresh in our minds, we found ourselves back in school for our last and most import- ant year. We cHose as our leaders this year: Gordon Wilkinson, President; Michael But- tino, Vice - Piesfdent; Josephine Rinaldo, Treasurer; Beverly Cos.tanzo, Secretary. A « - All too soon we realized that graduation was almost upon us, so we were getting pre- pared for our “TOOT” and for fthe Senior Ball. We had Several successful dances throughout the year. In January our graduation pictures were taken. Despite all the hair combing and sweater changing the pictures were taken on time. After months of impatient waiting, they arrived and on the whole they were very good. Without the able assistance of Miss Daniels and Mr. Rynders, who has recently left us, we know ouy four years in high school would not have been so successful, so from the bottom of our hearts we wish to thank them both. To those outside of our class, these notes may not seem important, but to us, these were our happiest years and we shall always cherish their memory. —BEVERLY COSTANZO page nine
