HISTORY History is a record of conquests, for good or otherwise, that have been lost or won in that eterf nally vast something called time. We too, in the past six years, have made history. During the time which has passed since our entrance into this school, much has occurred of which we might write. Many of these memories are personal and numerous, so we shall present only those which are most impressive. Who will forget that memorable day, when with wildly beating hearts and the greatest of temerity, we entered Junior High School? At this time those of us who started at the Harris Hill School and Clarence Center joined Parker, forming what is now known as the Class of '51. The day finally arrived when we were supposedly entering into the realm of upper classmeng we were Freshmen. Each one of us anticipated the realization of our many dreams. The girls had thoughts of formal dresses to be worn at the Junior Prom and the Senior Ball. The boys had thought of becoming sports heroes by making that winning touchdown, or scoring that winning basket in overtime in the annual ClarencefWilliamsville game. Alas! Our dreams were shattered by those individuals who had precedence. The Sophomores, Juniors, and Seniors looked upon us with the greatest- of conf tempt, but tolerated us. We suffered great embarrassment and despair during this year because of the introduction to a new social life, the school dances. After the first semester had passed, we considered ourselves vet' erans and settled down to a term of study and hard work. At the end of the year, we were enveloped with a feeling of doom called Final Examinations. Most of us passed without effort, but there were a few casualties. With the coming of the next September, we received a new title, Sophomores, which gave us the feeling that we really belonged. Some of the boys participated in sports and received recognition for their athletic abilities. The social functions of this year, the Sophomore Hop and the Christmas Dance, were very successful. Our Junior year gave each of us the feeling of importance, we looked with distaste upon those emptyfheaded Freshmen and Sophomores. Not only were our intellectual talents displayed, but our dramatic ability too. The Junior Play, The Ghost in the Belfrey, made the headlines as one of the greatest. This was no surprise to the Juniors. With such intelligence and patience, and the help of Miss Oliver, it could not be anything but a success. The Junior Prom was another highlight of the year. This was a year of hard work, but with the help of our faculty we took every hurdle with flying colors. We approached our fourth and the greatest year in the history of the Class of '51, Our social activities, The Sadie Hawkins Dance, The Senior Ball and the Play, were both gay and financially successful. Now at last the fatal hour arrives-Exams-We are victorious! With the ter' mination of these four years comes a feeling of joy and a pang of regret. Joy for the future which holds its thrill of uncertain prospects and regret for the happy days being left behind. QC- H i 1 M 3- i fl W 'wi QJ' . , str . D QSEFV' J' I 'QAQQ Wit?
