MEMORIES Dear Diary, Do you remember the first day that we ventured through the halls of CHS as proud Freshmen? It seemed too good to be true, but as the days passed, we realized that it wasn’t merely a dream. Under the supervis- ion of Miss Daniels, we elected George O'- Hara., president; Jack LeBlanc, vice-presi- dent; Bev Waldo, secretary; and Frances Cuthbert, treasurer. Then we were off to a great start with “We fly with our own wings” as our motto and the American beau- ty rose as our flower. In October, many of us were chosen to take part in a radio program which the re- vengeful sophomores had plotted for us. It turned out to be an informal initiation in disguise. We survived, however, and strug- gled for ear-to-ear smiles. We had to show our upperclassmen that we were good sports. In December, we took great pride in ad- miring the fine Christmas tree in the au- ditorium that we had the honor of decorat- ing. As the year drew to a close, we were all overjoyed in planning our freshmen picnic. This was the first class picnic that we had ever attended so everything had to be per- fect. We reveled in feasting our eyes on the rich delicacies that covered the picnic tables throughout the park area at Verona Beach. Soon enough, however, we realized that all we could take joy in was watching other people eat, for we were reminded that it wasn’t time for us to eat yet. On hearing this, most of the girls donned their bathing suits and splashed through the warm waters of Oneida Lake. The boys on the other hand preferred sports that weren’t quite so stren- uous. Sitting on the park bench and watch- ing the birds (?) go by was just their speed. Then it was time to eat. “Food” was the magic formula for our freshmen boys. They made a bee-line for the food baskets and ate to their heart’s content—that is—until the girls came. Then, they all clumped together in one corner of the grounds so that all the girls could sit together. The girls who had been swimming had worked up quite an ap- petite. They ran to the food baskets and scraped up the crumbs that the boys had left. After filling up the corners of their stomachs, they convinced themselves that they were full. As we boarded the busses, we realized that two students were missing. We searched the ball field and then went back to the picnic area and sure enough there were Cork and Virg still munching on the leftovers. We may not have been the richest, nor the smartest class, but we were surely the hungriest. Without a doubt, one of our proudest moments came when we unveiled our class window. To us, of course, its green and gold hues were the most attractive. Up to this time,the freshmen boys had no use for girls (except Pete). Then one day a strange thing happened—. A delightfully good-looking senior girl crossed their path, and they followed her. At a glance, they blushed—at a smile, their eyes spun in their sockets and at a dance they were walking up and down walls and even on the ceiling. On class day we had an initiation flcat. We even persuaded Miss Daniels to ride on it as a cowboy. Our two class clowns, Chick Spadter and Eddie Porkorney led the float to success. We won the prize for the fun- niest float. At the beginning of our sophomore year, we elected Dennie Smith, president; Joseph Stagnitti, vice-president; Beverly Waldo, secretary; and Frances Cuthbert, treasurer. Accustomed to our surroundings, we now pursued the freshmen. After we had our fun quizzing them and giving them their unconquerable tasks, we seemed to enter into a loving truce between the mighty sopho- mores and the meek freshmen. To boost our treasury we set up a con- cession at the Halloween Dance, sold basket- ball pencils and held two class dances. The dances were well attended. The girls danced with each other and the boys sat on the mats playing pinochle. Toward the end of the year, a few of the boys asked the girls to teach them how to dance. The girls respond- ed eagerly, for it was the first time that the boys had ever left their cozy clique. Do you remember Mr. Weinstein, the Biology cadet? All of the girls do. In Jan- uary he took us to Syracuse University on a tour of the medical building. It was most interesting as well as enjoyable. Before Mr. Weinstein left, the biology class had a sur- prise party in his honor and presented him with a cigarette lighter. During the same year Mr. Burnius came to teach English. Classes were held in Room 4, fourth period. Then between the tempt- ing odor of the food from the cafeteria and the noisy people at table 2, we never did find out what happened to Silas Marner. In June we went on our picnic to Verona Beach. Again the girls went in to swim and the boys pranced up and down the shores page twenty-six
