 Class of ’49 Miss Hosenfeld. Mrs. Wright, and Mrs. Pender have had a hard time trying to tame the uproarious Sophomore Class this year. But really underneath it all, we aren't so bad. In fact, we have many talented students among us. We chose the follow- ing to lead our class: President....................................Donald Cole Vice-President.................................John Delaney Secretary....................................Louise Chappel Treasurer.....................................Doris Brand The Sophs were represented in the sports department with Bob Germain on the J.V. basketball team and several boys playing football. Also, the Sophomore Interclass team played some really excitin'g games. The girls played basket- ball and volleyball, while Carolyn Auyer and Barbara Simon went out for cheering. In our Freshman year, Mary Marden and Frederick Currier took prize speaking honors. Last year we, as Freshmen, organized a Junior Student Council and Junior Journalism. We have sponsored several successful dances and also a hayride. Band, chorus, and journalism are given a boost by the Sophomore Class, as well as Hi-Y, Sub-Debs, and Sigma Pi Rho. We have had a lot of fun during the past two years and hope to be as successful in the future as we have been in the past. f

II Class of'48 The Junior Class has enjoyed an active and profitable year. In November we had a Junior sports dance which was fol- lowed in December by the spectacular Christmas Ball. Novel decorations and fine music attracted a record attendance to make this a huge success. For their dramatic contribution, the Class of ’48 presented a mystery-comedy. ' The Phantom Bells.” This proved to be of high entertainment value, not only to the audience but to the cast and directors as well. These activities were under the able supervision of our class officers: President .............................Ronald Aplin Vice-President.................................James Haydon Secretary......................................Norma Harkins Treasurer.....................Mary Jeanne Delaney Our advisor, Mrs. Safron, and numerous class committees. The Junior Class seems to have an abundance of athletes — both boys and girls. The football squad felt the weight of Van Dusen s and Wilcox’s ability to throw long passes. The varsity basketball team couldn’t get along without Van Derveer’s set shots and the J.V.’s certainly knew that Snow. Russ. Barnum and Steele were there. These boys were aided by the cheering ability of Shirley Ridall, Norma Harkins. Mary Peder- son. Barbara Bond. Rosalie Reeves and June Howard. The baseball squad felt the pitching power of Wilcox, plus the fielding of Russ. Barnum. Steele and a host of others. Both the Junior boys and girls interclass basketball teams had a good season. The teams who went to the state bowling tournament included many Juniors, as did the volleyball and softball teams. The Juniors are also well represented in Journalism. Band and Chorus. Particularly noteworthy is Barb Bond s singing ability. As the year draws to a close, we are all looking forward to the annual class picmc which will be our last time together as Juniors — we hope.

President...... Vice-President Secretary ..... Treasurer...... ...Roderick Dow Jack Montague ...Evelyn Heron .Ann McCarthy Class of’50 The Freshmen have really been busy during their first year of Senior High School. The Student Council has been one of their main goals. Its chief purpose is to create a sense of responsibility for all students by giving them some post to fill. Ste-ha-hah. the Junior Branch of the New York State His- torical Association, is also heartily indorsed by the Freshmen. Junior prize speaking has found several able Freshmen par- ticipating. Four girls and four boys are now practicing under the able supervision of Miss Palmer and Mr. Durgee. Along with prize speakers, the Freshmen also have basketball players — everyone a star. Several Freshman girls have been cheer- leaders and will probably continue throughout their four years. The Miss America Club also kept many of the girls busy. With all these activities going on, it has made this year a very busy one. Do you suppose you could keep this pace for five days a week and forty weeks of the year?
