uf is ,,, C-Zvliaia We, the class of forty-eight, Of sound mind, do solemnly state: Thru' the years we have come And we've had lots of fun! Most of us began way back in thirty-five, And a whole year of kindergarten we did survive, To enter the schools of grammar, Where over our lessons we would stammer. From thirty-six thru' forty-two We did not know what we would dog For a vacation we had one desire: To finish school and then retire. Then came grade seven and C. H. S., Where we met each other and had to confess That it was different from Irving or Grandview, Cementon, Leeds and Palenville too. No more playing. This would all be work And from our studies we could not shirk. With all the books we had to carry, We resembled a lending library. Here we had a class called detention fln our schedule this they did not mention lj No more standing with gum in our cheek! QWe'd be entered in this class for a week lj One more obstacle overcome in our career! But in our hearts we had the fear, That, from seventh grade we would retire Out of the frying pan, into the fire. The year went by, none too fast, And the eighth grade came at last. We were still too young to realize, by golly, That here there was more work than there was 'follyr Then summer vacation and fun galore, - b But we had to look toward school once more, To become Freshmen in Junior High: -And we entered this class with a sigh. Our first class meeting and ai fond recollection Of the ofiicers we chose at this election: Jonas as adviser and Scarlata at the reins, Newman and Beare assisted the brains , The Thanksgiving Dance in our Freshman Year, Will be unforgettable, never fear! A But to celebrate our release from the joint We took a day boat ride to Kingston Point. Page 10 ,T 7 34g . . cr gl w as ,gud Z? 1' J

I iam The month of September again rolled 'round And much to our enjoyment Q ?j we found Sophomores would be our new class title, And from then on we would not be idle. Our rulers were Annese, Benton and Heron, Mr. Jonas again our adviser, and there on We had to raise money as all classes do, So we sponsored a dance and a food' sale, too. When June came round, we decided to take A picnic trip to Taghkanic Lake: A grand celebration was had by all To await the opening of school in the fall. Anthony Scarlata again did appear As Mr, Washington in our Junior Year. Beare and Newman were one year wiser And Mr. Jonas was again our adviser. We increased our finances By sponsoring two dances Then we started to dream About our Junior Prom theme. The committees were elected, A night in May was selected, For Una Fiesta Mexicana , and From Albany came a band. A wonderful time was had by all At the Gay night in Mexico ball. The funds were needed for the Year Book: For we'd have one, by hook or by crook. We held a meeting to decide one thing: That was the type of Senior Class ring. We would wear it in the coming fall If we were to become seniors at all. The decision would be made real soon, As final exams on a hot day in June Would tell if as Juniors we'd return fnot that lj Or if as Seniors we would go to bat. Our goal was reached, and then September came 'round again. We chose two advisers to'guide us, and thus Elected our officers without a fuss. Scarlata, Weitlauf, Seiderer, and Doebler took a chance And we agreed with them on a dance. If our year book fund was to increase I Our efforts simply could not cease. Page 1 1
