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.
