Senior Class Officers Paul Mittelstaedt, Marion Thomas, Ann Thomas, Fred McEwen We, the Senior Class of ’46 are on the last lap of our journey of completing our high school career. In the fall of 1942 we entered the portals of the red brick building which was to be our institution of learning, with twenty-four members in our class. At our first meeting we elected the following of- ficers: President, Margaret Alford; vice-President, Marion Thomas; Secretary, Judy Sullivan; and Treasurer, Fred McEwen. Our class advisor was Mr. Palmer. Our class, full of school spirit, was eager to par- ticipate in school activities, including band, glee club, basketball and other extracurricular activities. Our Freshman year was fun, but responsibilities overtook us in the form of examinations. On April 15 of our Freshman year fire complete- ly destroyed our school. We all cooperated and after a brief vacation of one day, classes resumed in the Town Hall. Just 15 of our original twenty-four returned as Sophomores in September ’44. That year we really felt that we were going to play an important part in high school affairs. At our first class meeting we elected: President, Fred McEwen; Vice-President, Margaret Alford; Secretary, Judy Sullivan and Treasurer, Kenneth Perkins; Class Advisor, Miss Lutz. Our first social attempt was a Hallowe’en Party held in the study hall. This year our basketball team captured the cup in the Mountain Valley League playoffs. Lorena Snyder and Richard Tucker left us during the year but we did add James Corcoran, a transfer from Canton, to our group. September ’44, found fourteen members in our class, including Paul Mittelstaedt from Syracuse. At our first class meeting we elected: President, Ann Thomas; Vice-President, Kenneth Perkins; Secre- tary, Margaret Perkins and Treasurer, Paul Mit- telstaedt; Class Advisor, Miss Lutz. The Thanksgiving Party was our Social Highlight of our Junior year. Class rings were ordered in the fall of ’44 and we received them in the summer of ’45. We returned as Seniors in September ’45 leaving behind only one member, Gordon Herrick. We added one member to our group, Virginia Raymond, a transfer from Waterbury, Connecticut. Our Senior Class Officers are: President, Paul Mittelstaedt Vice-President, Fred McEwen; Secre- tary, Marion Thomas; and Treasurer, Ann Thomas; Class Advisor, Miss Lutz. A senior play “Springtime for Suzie” and getting our yearbook ready for press were our main efforts of the year with plans for a Junior-Senior Ball in the process. As the year draws to a close all of us have en- joyed the past four years together and know that although “The past is forever gone; the future is still our own,” for the class of “46.” CLASS HISTORIAN Marion Thomas.

Witness: CLASS LAWYER Margaret Alford. (Signed) Paul Mittelstaedt, President. Class Prophecy The year is 1960! The day is June 24! Yes, fourteen years ago today graduation exer- cises were held, and today we find that class hold- ing a reunion. The class has all turned out success- fully. The reunion is being held in the now large mining center of the North—South Colton. Yes, there are the fourteen on the front lawn of Paul Mittelstaedt’s beautiful home. He is now Physical Ed. Instructor at the new Colton-Pierre- pont Central School. Paul’s wife is bringing a tray of refreshments. She was the pert, little blonde of the class, Ann Thomas. The tray of refreshments is now passed to James Corcoran who is a multi-millionaire and owner of a large night club in New York City. We find he has as his secretary Grace Sevey, who was the quietest person in the class of ’46. Marion Thomas is now an attractive Social Stud- ies Teacher at the New Colton-Pierrepont Central School. The tray goes on and stops in the hands of two handsome men—Fred McEwen and Kenneth Perkins who own the large airport in Colton. We doubt if the tray will go on, if these men are as fond of eating as they used to be; but it does—and Margaret Perkins, who was the youngest in class and won the rating of “Prettiest” girl in school two years in succession, passes the tray to Florence Fisher. Margaret and Florence are nurses and are working as superintendents in the large hospital in Colton. Judy Sullivan, who is fourth from the end of the line, has reached her goal as a Chemist in the lab- oratory of the local hospital. We see Judy talking to Theresa Hayes, who owns the Hayes Dress Shop in Chicago. She has two models from the class— Margaret Alford and Mavis Leonard. These girls are looking forward to becoming Power’s Models. Finally, the tray stops in front of Virginia Ray- mond who is still in South Colton happily waiting to occupy the highly desirable position of a South Col- ton housewife! The tray has made the full circle, so have we. Refreshments are done and so is the prophecy of the class of ’46. Fame of ”46 In the pleasant town of Colton, Situated on a hill, Stood the former Colton High School Cool and quiet, calm and still. Though a new school now is standing In a not too distant place, ’Twas the former school was famous For “Seniors-46’s” pace! All the graduates were successful, In abilities were high; Scientific research flourished, Through our genius alumni. So those who chance to pass this way, May stop and stare; they may well mix Some awe with admiration, for Here graduated ’46! Virginia Raymond.

Glee Club The Glee Club, which was organized in the fall 1944, was continued this year under the direction of Miss Katherine James. It was open only to the girls in seventh and eighth grades and high school. The club made one public appearance in Potsdam at the May Festival. The members are Barbara Fisher, Frances Vanderburg, Katherine Vanderburg, Mary Louise Per- kins, Joan Crossman, Julia Leary, Eileen Seaver, Maureen Sanford, Patricia Regan, Freda LaPoint, Barbara Hutchinson, Mavis Johnson, and Kathleen Gorman. Student Council At the beginning of the second semester, in January, 1946, a Student Council was organized, both as a clearing house for the business of the school in which the pupils have direct interest, and as a deliberating body, rather than a legislative body, for the consideration of proposed innovations, and as the delegating of responsibility for such undertakings as pageants, drives, and special publications. This year, however, is merely the beginning of Student Council; next year its scope will be enlarged. Two students as representatives from each class were chosen by their fellow members, with the exception of the seventh and eighth grades. These grades elected one representative each. The results made the following students members of the 1946 Student Council: Senior Class—Margaret Alford and Paul Mittelstaedt; Junior Class—Shirley Leary and George Swift Sophomore Class—Sady Smith and Everett Thompson; Freshman Class—Barbara Fisher and Harold Perkins; Eighth Grade — Reuben James; Seventh Grade—Julia Leary. These ten representatives chose as their officers; Paul Mittelstaedt, president Sady Smith, treas- urer; and Everett Thompson, secretary. Compliments of The Board of Education JOHN T.
