During our senior year we asked Mrs. Johnson to pick out a book on sports to put in the library in memory of Edwin Barton. The highlights of this year have been the class play, Gabriel, Blow Your Horn , the yearbook, and the class trip to New York, with Mr. and Mrs. Rice as chaperones. This is the history of the Class of 1956, with twenty-five members.

SENl0R CLASS HI TORY For Chautauqua Central 1943 was an important year, for in September they enlarged the school to include a kindergarten. Among Miss Strickland's students, four have remained to graduate with the others they have gathered in their climb. These are Cynthia Wells, Carol Morse, Phyllis Webber, and Bruce Williams. After kindergarten we had to start working when we entered first grade under Miss Maude Skinner. Here James Preston -came from Buffalo, and Alton Sears joined him in becoming members of the class. We then moved on into Mrs. Ruth Wheeler's second grade. Anne Turner from Jamestown, Paul Colligan from North East, and Roger White joined us in Miss Akin's third grade. In the fourth grade under Mrs. Dora Hall, Gordon Saulsgiver from Lakewood, George Cornell from Lakewood, and Martha Genaway from Mayville became three new classmates. Then we passed under the supervision of Mrs. Garnett Johnson, when David Lindquist came from Frewsburg. Mrs. Dorothy Fetzer helped us through an uneventful, but very enjoyable year as sixth graders, and then Mr. Hussey took over in the seventh grade. This lyear Fred Humble came from Panama, and George Nickerson from Gerry to join us in our first year of Junior High School, which we enjoyed in spite of New York State history. ln eighth grade we added Gladys Michael from Southwestern, and Mrs. Hunt prepared us for the four years of high school ahead of us. In the fall we stepped into our freshman year with Mr. Kyle Morse as class advisor. Here we met our new recruits from Ashville, two of whom had started out in kindergarten together. They were Alberta Carlson and Patricia Davenport, who were joined by Phillip Newman from Jamestown in second grade, Donald Carlson from Jamestown in fifth grade, and Charles Cross from Chautauqua in fifth grade. Then in our sophomore year Betsy Shields joined us from Greensburg, Richard Johnson came in our junior year from Southwestern, and Charles Mark from India and Allan Schifferli from Fredonia joined us in our last and final year of school. Mr. Allen Rice was our faithful advisor for our last three years of school, which certainly must have been a trying experience for him. Some of the projects which have earned us our vast wealth are bake sales, candy sales, dances, sale of sweat-shirts and T-shirts, dinners, Christmas wreaths, Hansel and Gretel dolls, magazines, class play, and Hoyt candies. One of the most thrilling of
