Listening In On a Private Conversation “Mother, who were the rest of your classmates in 1945.” “Liz Sullivan graduated from C. C. B. I. and is still secretary to Mr. Ford, President of the Ford Motor Corporation. After taking six lessons from Madam Mazonga, Sylvia Tenney is now a vocalist and dancer with Harry James’ orchestra. Shirley Alexander has a beauty shop in Texas and drives a Pontiac to work every morning. “Francis Woodard who began his art career on the school paper, is now designing ships for the U. S. Navy. Maybelle Morrow joined the WACS and is at the present touring the country with the woman she admired most, Mrs. Roosevelt. Jean Sullivan became a successful photographer and has a studio in Potsdam. You can go in any time and get your picture taken. “After completing C. C. B. I., Eloise Sandford be- came secretary to her father who owns that large department store in Colton. Betty FyJfe, who during the war entertained the soldiers overseas is still trying to make a choice between three of Uncle Sam’s soldiers. Kathleen Olmstead is still a swim- ming instructor at one of U. S. foremost summer resorts at Lake Placid. “Myrtle Huckle forgot that gasoline wasn’t rat- ioned after the war and is still using her horse and buggy to deliver the mail. Margie Seymour is now engaged as Secretary to Admiral Perkins in the Navy Department in Washington. Everyone can remember when Bob Thomas used to say he was a misogymist. Well, I guess we can believe him for he still is after ten difficult years.” “Then you were the only one who got married ? ” “Yes, Mary, I married General Weegar of the U. S. Army.” Last Will and Testament We, the Senior Class of 1945, Colton High School, announced sane in mind as well as in body, bequeath the following possessions to the following, fortunate people.

Class History ’Tis true “Time Waits For No Man” so here we are in the last lap of our journey through High School. Let us look back and see ourselves as that happy crew of twenty-three Freshmen entering for the first time the portals of old Colton High School on the hill. At our first class meeting we elected: President, Mary Frank; Vice-President, Bob Thomas; Secre- tary, Eloise Sandford; and Treasurer, Wendell Gotham. Our advisor was Miss Mahoney. Our class, overflowing with enthusiasm and ener- gy, was anxious to enter all school activities. Mem- bers participated in the band, glee club, basketball team, press club and cheer-leading. War was de- clared in our Freshman year and most of us wanted to pitch in and do our part. Many took the Red Cross First Aid Course; some sewed for the Red Cross and the boys collected scrap paper. Our Freshman year was fun but exams soon overtook us. In September, ’42, we returned to school bearing the title Sophomores. We selected: President, Liz Sullivan; Vice-President, Jerry Kennedy; Secretary and Treasurer, Marjorie Seymour; and Advisor, Mrs. Cox. Our first social attempt was a Hallowe’en Party held in the school auditorium. Again, our members took part in the various extracurricular activities. The boys pitched in to make the salvage drive very successful, indeed. Walter Morman, Roger Foster, Clyde Hammond, Ella Law and Francis Boyd left us during the year, but we did add Emogene Van Brooklyn from Canton and Everette Waite from Parishville to our group. April 15 of our Sophomore year found fire com- pletely destroying our school. We all tried to co- operate and after a brief vacation of one day we resumed school in the Town Hall. September, ’43, found our number depleted to seventeen members. At our first class meeting we elected: President, Mary Frank; Vice-President, Mar- jorie Seymour; Secretary, Eloise Sandford; Treas- urer, Liz Sullivan; Advisor, Mrs. Cox. Jerry Kennedy left us shortly and Everette Waite transferred back to Parishville. Class rings were ordered in the fall and we received them in June. The Thanksgiving Party was our Social Highlight of the year. That year our basketball team cap- tured the cup in the Mountain Valley Playoffs. Emogene Van Brooklyn was led away from us, Rachel Wood transferred to Massena and Wendell Gotham and Mildred France decided school was not for them. Just 12 of our original twenty-three returned as Seniors in September, ’44. Lucille LaVine trans- ferred to Potsdam. Myrtle Huckle returned to school making thirteen members for our class. Our Senior Class Officers are: President. Liz Sul- livan; Vice-President, Sylvia Tenny; Secretary, Eloise Sandford; Treasurer, Kathleen Olmsted; Ad- visor, Miss O’Connell. A St. Patrick’s Party, a Senior play, “Saved By the Belle,” and getting our Yearbook ready for Press were our main efforts of the year. Now as Commencement is approaching we look back. Our education is almost complete, and we are about to set out in an unsettled world in quest of a definite career for each thirteen of us. CLASS HISTORIAN, Mary E. Frank.
