1945 THE INDIAN JACK CADOGAN Jack left his high school alma mater at the mid-year this year to enlist in the Navy, in which he is still serving at present. Not here when the senior questionnaires were being circulated, it's rather diiiicult to get informa- tion on him. A few things could be filled out, such as: Slip . . , one of Dick Wheeler's buddies . . . oh, the women in his life . . . interested in flying and the Civil Air Patrol . . . very active in latter . . . his hobby would probably be fishing . . . he likes: flying, fishing, skating, catchy songs, sharp clothes, women . . . dis- likes: school, classical music, operas, Chautau- qua Institution. Wherever he may be when this book is dis- tributed, good luck to Jack Cadogan. CLASS HISTORY By Robert Dean The class of '46 is one which has seen many changes in its personnel. As it comes to the end of its twelfth year in school, there remain but four of the original members of the class as it was when it started in the first grade in C. C. S. These exclusive four are Evelyn Whitney, Charley Blohm, Bob Dean, and Andy Rhubottom. Miss Skinner was then, as now, the teacher of the first grade. In second grade Rich Hayes joined the class, and Dave Rodwell did likewise when it reached its third year. The fourth saw no additions which still remain, but the centralization of the school in the class's fifth year brought Viola Webber and Ronnie Stroebel into its ranks. During these early years the members caught fleeting glances of Maxine Howard, who finally settled with the class in its junior year in high school. Art Sortore was here now and then, as Max was, and he finally decided to join the class in preference to the one at Mayville in his seventh year of schooling. Tom Calvin and Mary Crowley joined the merry throng in its sophomore year, and Kay and Elaine Moseman came at the half of the following year. Mae Kratz, Carol Nickerson, and Chuck Nash entered the class in its final year. Jack Cadogan, who was with the class from the fourth grade until it started its senior year, dropped his school work to join the Navy in January of this year.

THE INDIAN 1946 In the second, third, and fourth years of the class of '46 there was a double grade, that is, two grades in one room. The present juniors for the class of '47J were the second class. This is no doubt the underlying reason for the ardent feeling of friendship and love between the two classes. Miss Skinner had both classes in the seniors' second year, Miss Akin had the double load in their third, and Miss Evelyn Murney had the horrible experience in their fourth year. The class was alone again in its fifth year with Mrs. Johnson as their teacher. Miss Marion Benson, now Mrs. Taylor, taught the class in both its sixth and seventh years, due to a faculty shift. In its seventh year the class saw a change in principals. Mr. George R. Raynor retired and Mr. John W. Turner took over his duties. The class's eighth year introduced to it one of its best friends and advisors, Mr. Ernest Levin. Mr. Cowles had charge of the eighth grade, but Mr. Levin taught English Reading in junior high then. In its ninth year Mr. Levin was the class's home room teacher and in the eleventh year of the class he was their advisor. Then was when they really learned to appreciate him. Last year he left the school, much to the sorrow of the class and many others, but he is still a good friend and neighbor to C. C. S. In the tenth year of the class Coach Becker was its advisor. He has been coach in C. C. S. from the time the class entered first grade except for about two years from 1944-46 when he was in the Navy. The class is happy to have him back. The seniors have been a small class all through their twelve years in Chautauqua School. In first grade three members died of diphtheria, and since then the class never has numbered more than twenty. Its mem- bers have done reasonably well in school, perhaps due to the ease of co-operation in the small group. They have kept up school standards in their scholarship, and have been quite active in sports and extra-curricular activities. Their record is far from perfect, but looking back they see they have enjoyed their schooling and have profited much by it. When they are gone they will surely miss good old C. C. S. and everything about it. KN! .1 Y -, T' x ' Y - gf'.Ek-V-5 ---- X L Ek. fq:...:l'- UJ,f.,,. U ,.- I . .,,.- 'H' L. V1- -.-- -I .,,.v,.r K F'
