History Dear Diary, Twelve years ago our class started its way on the long journey through Chestertown Central School with Kathy, Eleanor, Larry, Irving, and many others who have long since left us. Our big adventure came in 4th grade when we, along with the then present 5th and 6th grades, made an all day trip to Albany to visit the museum. In the 5th grade Gus came to us from Whitehall and in the 6th grade we were joined by Dave from Warrensburg. By our 7th year ten students had left us. This same year Denise came to us from Maryland. In 8th grade we gained Richard from Long Island and Janet who arrived here from New Jersey. We found the change to departmental classes, lockers, and passes quite confusing at first, but after 8th grade regents and graduation we really felt that we were on our way. Our big objective in high school was to raise money for our class treasury so we had a few food sales which helped a great deal. In our sophomore year we sold iron-on letters and as juniors we conducted a very successful clock- radio raffle. In April of our junior year we received our eagerly awaited class rings. At last we felt we had received our mark of distinction. The latter part of our junior year was spent making plans and decorations for our Junior Prom. We all learned how to work together and cooperate through evening meetings and last minute preparations. With the help of Mrs. Packer we made artificial flowers for the tables. We also made stars, moons, angels, and castles to carry out our theme which was Heavenly Eve. May 16th was the big night. Stairway to the Stars was our theme song played by Ernie LaRouche and his orchestra. Irving and Denise were our king and queen. Our senior year found us busy rehearsing for the traditional senior play. Our production was a three act comedy entitled Toby Helps Out. The story revolved around Toby, a cutup, who decided to make a comedy out of an old fashioned melodrama called Flower of the Valley. The results were hilarious, the play was a success, and we all had fun doing it. Along with the joys of being a senior was the hard work and co-operation of putting out the yearbook. We now end our years of schooling together with our Washington trip and commencement.
