Margaret Taylor The second girl of her family to graduate from C.H.S., Peggy has upheld the Taylor tradition through her years at school. Very well informed on current and foreign events, she can hold her own in discus- sions. Many ' s the time that her calm and persuasive arguments have won us over to her side. Peggy is known to all of us as a wonderful hostess. We will never forget the many times the Taylors have opened up their house to give a peppy house party. Peggy ' s ambition is to be a journalist, and after all the evi- dence we ' ve seen of her extraordinary talent along this line, we feel confident that she will succeed. Junior A. A.; Senior A. A.; Dramatic Club; Crier; Chorus; Student Council Representative; Class Vice- President: Yearbook. Robert West Bob continually amazes us with his off-hand informa- tion on practically every subject that arises. Whether rattling off the past participle of a difficult French verb or expounding Einstein ' s theory of relativity, Bob can be counted upon to come through in A + form. We were especially proud of Bob this year, when he proved to be one of the forty finalists in a nation-wide science talent search. Bob played right end on the football team this year and his many touchdowns helped the team through its successful season. Bob also has the unusual record of being class treasurer for six years. He expects to make chemical engineering his profession after college. Class Treasurer; Baseball; Football; Crier; Year- book; Chorus.

Peter Sloan Ever since seventh grade, Pete has never ceased to amuse us with his witty remarks. A letterman for two years, Pete is noted for basketball and baseball. Shooting himself up from the jayvees, Pete ' s now a varsity top scorer. He has helped to win many a game by his tricky dribbling and shooting. Another one of his traits is talking, and whenever there is a discus- sion in the class, you may be sure that Senator Sloan is in the middle of it fighting for his prin- ciples. Pete ' s popularity was shown when he was elected Student Council president for the first semes- ter. Pete is very active socially and is an asset to any party. Basketball; Baseball; Manager of Football; Chorus; Student Council Secretary ; Student Council President. Sally Stockton Sally entered our class in our junior year, but it did not take her long to fit in. Her repertoire of contagious laughs is seemingly unending, so we especially like to have her around when boredom threatens. Sally seems to dash off weekly English papers effortlessly (though she denies this), and since she joined us, no honor roll has been complete without her name. If you need some good advice, Sally ' s the one you should ask, and she ' s one of those rare, wonderful persons who offers it only when asked. Sally ' s planning to be a Spanish interpreter in South America; we ' re cer- tainly jealous of the South Americans. Chora:; Class Secretary.

Well Never Forget the Time Three seniors ran the Caldwell branch of the Erie Railroad while the rest of us visited Mr. Bohn. We went to Deer Lake on the Junior-Senior picnic, and stayed overtime. The girls discovered the memory book in the Crier Office. Lawson came to school with his white mice. The boys made and modeled crazy hats at Barbara ' s New Year ' s Eve party. We played Capture-the-Flag the morning-after-the-night-before. Dave and Elliot had the water fight in Chem Lab. Miss Ransom got hit on the head with a snowball, accidentally on purpose. Mr. Sott told us about goals with appropriate gestures. Artie took over the French class with disastrous results. Some pink icing mysteriously got stuck on the stair railing. We gave the Varga calendar to Mr. Conrad. Dr. Glenn forgot to show up for our evening astronomy lesson, but nobody cared any- way. (Because it was the night of the Aurora Borealis.) Miss Ransom poured mercury all over the floor. There was maple syrup in, around, and below the Crier office. A chair fell through the Crier office window. Dave gallantly crawled down the sewer to rescue Candy ' s math book. Canfield and Dave discovered they could sing. Barbara met her friend on the bus. Carla was the rage. Mrs. Ramsden rode her striped bicycle on a held trip to Little Falls. Martin ' s boomerang nearly missed a school window. Miss Ransom told us she was engaged to Pfc. Claghorn and invited us all to her wed- ding in New Hampshire. Senator Sloan had a water fight with a ninth grade mother. Dr. Wittmer told us about his Cousin Helen. (Or should we say times?) We had those loyalty feuds about hometowns. Some of the cheerleaders kissed the basketball team after an exciting victory over Im- maculate. Canfield tried on Andy ' s skirt for size.
