CLASS POEM The month was September, the year ' +2 We entered the school, wondering, What should we do? Mrs. Raymond was our teacher in grade number one And with us she stayed 'till our fourth grade was done. With Mrs. Miller as teacher we entered grade five, Believe it or not, she's still alive! You know who we found in our next year at school? Why it was none other than our own Mrs. Duell. Then in grade seven we all moved upstairs It was then that the teachers began getting gray hairs. We finished the eighth, grammar school was all done Next came four years of high school and a great deal of fun As freshmen and sophomores we divided for classes, And soon found we couldn't leave the room without passes. In our Junior year we got wiser you know, We bought class rings, had a orom, and a good minstrel show Now we are seniors, the last year of fun Our life isn't ended, why it's Just begun! We've had a play and a yearbook, worked hard on them too, And that's just about all we had time to do. Our trip down to D.C. and New York, you bet Will be one of the things we will never forget. Now as graduation approaches to view There are many things we all have to do. But, wherever we wander, whatever we do Good old C.H.S.,we will still think of you. 16

CLASS HISTORY The history of our class began in the year 19 +2, and consisted of twelve historians: Claire Culver, Helen Little, Joan Roden, Phyllis Hill, Chuck Roberts, Dick Tennyson, Bob Flachbarth, Neil O'Connell, Beverly Walker, Roger Bolton, Richard O'Connor and Joseohine Drake. In September, 19 6, we acquired Joe Tennyson from Schroon Lake and in 19 7 Peggy Fransen Joined us from New Jersey. Our next member, Beverly Giersberg, came from Whitehall in the eighth grade. Uoon entering high school we had thirteen members. In ninth grade we lost Josephine Drake who left us to enter a convent in Germantown, N.Y. In the tenth grade everything went along smoothly. In the eleventh grade we gained two new members; Mary Gilbert from Montreal, Que. and Margaret Meade from Horicon. In our four years of high school we had many events that will go down in the history of our hearts. Some of these were: the Junior Prom, Minstrel Show, and our long awaited class rings during our Junior Year. In our Senior Year we had our class play, No More Home- work • Now as a class, we would like to thank the Board of Education and everyone else who made our Senior Trip to Washington, D.C and New York oossible. Now as our school days come to a close we are awaiting the final steo when we all will meet for the last time as a class to receive our diDlomas before we bid our last farewell to C.H.S. 17
