CLASS HISTORY Strew gladness on the paths of men— You will not pass this way again . Twelve long years ago Mrs. Baldwin beheld a new set of first graders. That was way back in September, 1938. The original members of the class included among them Luella Perry, Janice Rankin, Joyce Walker, Clara Moffitt, Arthur Ford, Elaine Culver, Joan Hill and Royce Hill. There were others, but they have since left our midst. It seems that no ore wanted to invade our small circle until Corinth sent us our valedictorian, Barbara Murphy. This event took place in our fifth year in Chestertown Central. Everything went along smoothly until we entered the seventh grade. From Pottersville we acquired Don Asmussen, our man about town. The same year Joan and Royce Hill skipped into the eighth grade, making our class a little less populated. The eighth grade seems to have been our big year, not only for gradua- tion but also for our new members. Madeline Lavery hiked down from Pot- tersville to be with us, while Springfield, Mass, donated Ruth Wilsie. Green- ville, Maine sent us smiling Myrna Markey, but she left us again at the end of the year and moved to Richford, Vermont. Bill Carlozzi also joined us from Long Island. Lorraine Loomis, the girl with all the laughs, left us after our graduation. She arrived in Chestertown from Carthage during our sixth year in school. It seems that our increasing po ver clung to us during freshman year also. John Gibb joined us from Staten Island and Bill Martzinek from Long Island. Because of illness, Elaine Culver left our crowd during our second year in high school. Myrna Markey came back from Richford, Vermont though, to compensate the loss Arthur Ford decided it was time he got out into the world, so during his Junior year he worked very hard and graduated. Bill Carlozzi also left us to go back to Long Island. We had our Junior Prom which was very suc- cessful. Here we are in the year of 1950, the Seniors of Chestertown Central School. It's been a long and strenuous pull with many laughs, but we have finally made it. We have had our Senior Ball and Senior play, Pistol Pete . Our Washington trip with Miss Gorman as advisor was loads of fun. Now we are looking forward to graduation to climax our memorable days at C.H.S.
