CLASS HISTORY 1951 . . . At least we were beginning the long awaited high school years. We were fresh- men, full of pep, willing, and able. Although we had only one money-making project that year, we did succeed in establishing a name for our- selves as mischievous terrors to start the season. Bob Ridall was elected president. Nelson Rice followed as vice president with Peggy Doris taking secretary and John Walker roping the office of treasurer. Undertaking the task of ad- vising us was Mr. Coates who had recently returned from Korea. The following students were elected as outstanding in their homerooms: MISS KINNEY ................. Martha Silsbee Jerry Lasher MRS. WIDGER Diane Schulz Nelson Rice MR. GRIZBOWSKI .............. Pauline Prevost Jack Girard MR. GREEN .................. Sandra Walters Robert Hirsh MRS. SAWYER ................ Marsha Keefer Gunar Blumberg Jill Wood and Jamieson Keister took top honors in Junior High Prize Speaking with Sue Horner and Dick Smallwood winning second prize. It was a great pleasure to have Gunar Blumberg of Latvia join our class that year. Joanne Clark was awarded the Kiwanis Scholarship Prize, and also had her name in- scribed on the Latin I cup. Receiving the N.Y.S. Industrial Arts Steering Committee Gold Key was David Rowell. 1952 . . . Sophomores! One more step up on the ladder. With a year of experience behind us, we continue with the election of class officers. As President, John Perdiue; Vice President, Bob Ridall; Secretary, Sandy Walters; Treasurer, Gunar Blumberg; with Mrs. Sears and Mr. Mathews as Advisors. The social studies class guided by Mr. Barbour descended en masse on the peaceful city of Albany. We really had a ball and when we left, Albany was normal again. We were all very thrilled when at last we could order our class rings. The Kiwanis Scholarship prize was awarded to J. Keister. Joanne and Jamieson shared the honor of having their names inscribed on the Latin II cup; Marilyn Wright was given the French I cup and Peggy Doris and John Walker were presented with an award for sportsmanship and brotherhood. Near the end of the year Claus Uhl of Germany enrolled at our school. 1953 . . . Our Junior year started with a bang, for we moved across the road to a beautiful new school. Beginning one of the most prosperous and important years in our history, we started off by electing as President, Edward Young. Other officers were: Vice President, Jim Graham; Secretary, Kathryn Reeder; Treasurer, Bob Ridall with Miss Linsky giving us a great deal of help and advice. Our activities included: bakesales, a scrap drive and sale of Christmas cards. After tedious preparations for the Christmas Ball, Winter Fantasy, we were thrilled by its suc- cess as it was the first ball held in our new gymnasium. Another high spot of the year was the Junior Play, Girl Shy, which gave the audience many laughs. Again this year we ven- tured off on another social studies trip to New York City with Mrs. Webb as chaperon. A rare time was had by all. Not only were Bermuda shorts the newest thing, but a swimming and wrestling team were also the latest. Joanne had her name engraved on the Mathematics Cup, Jamieson's on the Latin III cup and Peggy Doris was awarded the French I cup, Gunar Blumberg, the Charles Palmer Davis Medal, David Rowell, the N.Y.S. Industrial Arts Steering Committee Silver Key and Jeanne Bort was given the Elmira College Award. For outstanding work as a stu- dent of vocational agriculture, The American Ag- riculturist Foundation certificate and book The Settlers was awarded to Patrick McCord. The American Agriculture Foundation for outstanding work as a student of vocational homemaking was awarded to Marlene Patchett. Chosen as delegates at the annual citizenship education conference at Syracuse University were: Ed Young, Jamieson Keister, Jeanne Bort and Kathryn Reeder. A newcomer to our class was Natacha Beguin of Belgium. 1954 . . . Seniors! At last we reached the year we had all dreamed about. Getting off to a roaring start we elected as President, Ed Young; Vice President, Dick Smallwood; Secre- tary, Diane Schulz; Treasurer, Betty King and Miss Winchell, who was very thoughtful and gave up a great deal of her time, was our Advisor. To increase our treasury we started off by selling magazine subscriptions, following this project were: the sale of refreshments at football games, pens, candy, sponsoring suppers, having dances after the basketball games, and publication of our yearbook. Recognition goes to Jill Wood, who represented our class as a cheerleader at the exciting football and basket- ball games. Our class is proud of the many outstanding sportsmen we had participating in the various sports through the school years. Through the efforts of the student council, stu- dent body, and American Field Service we were honored to have Helen Lefkathetou of Greece study and reside in Baldwinsville for the year. Vera Hasler of Brazil also spent the year with us. We are looking forward to a good time on the class trip to New York City, the production of the Senior Play, and the work and fun pre- paring for the Senior Spring Ball. Of course, we await that final glorious, but sad day when we receive our diplomas for having accomplished the work required of us through our happy school years. 17
