J ■ ; ■ - ’ - I I ' [ I ’ f I ’ chiaro. In late September we initiated the Freshman, much to our delight. We again sponsored several dances this year, which were successful. In January the class was entertained at a party put on by the Fresh- men, and in return we held a picnic for them at the State Park at Oneida Lake in June. To head us in our junior year, Jack Dawley was elected president; Phyllis Aqui- no, vice president; Miriam Smith, secretary; and Betty LeBlanc, treasurer. Class rings were ordered in October, and after much impatient waiting they finally arrived in February. For several weeks our left hands were quite conspicuous. We held several dances, the climax being the Junior Prom held in the gym on May 6. Phyllis Aquino and Nina Barres were co-chairmen. Freddie Vare and his orchestra provided the music, to the theme of “I’m Always Chasing Rainbows”. We increased our treasury by selling stationery, class pins and “Rubber Scrubbers.” We would like to thank Miss Powers and Miss Schroth, our advisors, for their wise advice and guidance throughout our three years in high school. —MIRIAM SMITH OFFICERS Seated, left to right: Betty LeBlanc; Treasurer, J.

At our second meeting Green and Gold were selected as our class colors, and the Red Rose as the class flower. In December we had fun decorating the Christmas tree. We also collected dues dili- gently and were very proud to see our class window put up with the others in January. At the end of the year we had a wonderful time at the freshman-sophomore picnic held at Green Lake. Entering school again in the fall, we realized that we were now learned Sopho- mores. At our first meeting we elected the following officers: President, Sally Andrews; Vice President, Joyce Timerman; Secretary, Darrell Conley; and Treasurer Jane Finoc- page twenty-six

The officers which were elected were Don Pexton president; Fred Shuler, vice pre- sident; Emaline Evans, secretary and Gene Knox, treasurer. Our first assembly was made up of a Class Flower—Iris Class Colors—Blue and Gold Class Advisor—Miss Florence Furfaro Kitchen Band, Girls’ Chorus, and Fashion Show. The first major episode of our High School career was that most enjoyable event initiation! One of our chief duties as Freshmen was the decoration of the Xmas tree. The boys got a very nice one, courtesy of Fish- er’s. In January, we gave a party for our most revered elders, the Sophomores. They, in return, took us to the lake for a good old- fashioned picnic. We also had a picnic at Chittenango Falls and a wonderful time was had by all. The sophomore year started off as usual with the election of officers: Don Pexton, president; Fred Shuler, vice president; Dor- othy Sicilia, secretary; Emaline Evans, trea- surer.
