STARK Class History We, the class of ’48, are about to bid farewell to our high school studies and embark on varied careers. In September '44 we entered high school with a class of nineteen members. At our first class meeting we elected the following officers: President, Allen Thomas; Vice-President, Gorman Ford; Secretary, Joseph Sea- ver; Treasurer, Floyd Fallon; Advisor, Miss Cunti. Many entered such activities as band, glee club, basket- ball, baseball and press club. In September ’45 we returned to school bearing the title “Sophomores.” We elected the following officers: President, Philip Mittelstaedt; Vice-President, Paul Olmsted; Secretary-Treasurer, Everett Thompson; Ad- visor, Mr. Freeman. Our first social attempt was a Halloween Party held in the study hall. Again our members took part in the various extracurricular activ- ities. Gorman Ford, Kenneth Bigwarfe, Dale Robar and Carl Snyder left us during the year. Teresa Rey- nolds transferred to Massena and Mary Hayes could not return in the fall because of illness. We gained Phillip Mittelstaedt from Syracuse and Harriett Kennedy from Potsdam. In September ’46 we returned to school with seven- teen members. At our first class meeting of the year, we elected the following officers: President, Everett Thompson; Vice-President, Floyd Fallon; Secretary, Clifford Savoid; Treasurer, Allen Thomas. Our advisor far the first part of the year was M. L. Saucier and the latter part our advisor was Mrs. M. D. Saucier. Wanda Fifield left this year, while Teresa Reynolds returned. Janet Stowe joined us from Ogdensburg, and Betty Ames from Massena. Our highlights of the year were a Valentine Sport dance and a Junior Prom in June. Class rings were selected and ordered in January ’47 and we received them the following fall. We resumed our studies as Seniors with fifteen members last fall. We have chosen the following of- ficers: President, Allen Thomas; Vice-President, Floyd Fallon; Secretary, Clifford Savoid; Treasurer, Everett Thompson; our advisor is Mr. Stark. Betty Ames and Janet Stowe left us and Beverly Jones trans- ferred from Canton. Our Senior Play, “My Cousin From Texas, Christ- mas Sport Dance and getting the Yearbook ready for press are our main efforts for this year. As we run the last milestone of our Senior year we look back with regret on the happy days that we are leaving behind as we face commencement and the task of finding a suitable career in an unsettled world. Class Historian, JOHN FRANK Class Will The Senior Class of the Colton-Pierrepont Central School, do confess to be of physical soundness and high mentality, dispose thus of the following inheritable assets: TO: The Junior Class, we just “leave”.

Class Lawyer, SADY SMITH Class Prophecy The year: 1958 The Occassion: A reunion of the graduating class of ’48. The Place: The City Hall of Colton. As we glance over the hall we see that all the mem- bers of the class of 1948 are present. Wle’U now see where they have been in the ten years just lapsed. We find that Floyd Fallon has been the naval Captain of his own little fleet, “The Humphrey”. Johnnie Frank, we find, has been living in Wash- ington, D. C. as head of the Associated Press. Laurine Hawley (better known to us as Dusty) is the assistant manager to Mr. Hurley who is now the owner of a Brown’s Bridge Power Plant. Beverley Jones was the first woman to join the field of selling Ford automobiles and has been assisted by her partner, Kenney Wadleigh. Harriet Kennedy has been drum majorette for the United States Army Band. We see you’re still in step, Harriette! Keitha LaPoint joined the Waves and has been sail- ing on Captain Fallon’s boat. Keep ’Em' Sailing, Kids! Lorraine Leonard, (with her many years of ex- perience behind her), is now head waitress at the Island Key Restaurant in Key West, Fla. Phil Mittelstaedt owns and operates a Riding Academy, catering to co-eds. It is located ten miles south of the Mason-Dixon line. Don’t give up yet, Phil! Paul Olmsted, (better known to all as “Shorty”), is President of the Mason’s Union. Teresa Reynolds operates the Austin Ice Cream Parlor on lower Market Street in Potsdam. “Tee” thinks it’s wise to stay in a smiall town! Clifford Savoid is head cashier of the Independent Grocers of America, located in San Francisco. Keep the good work up Cliff! Joe Seaver, victorious in the presidential election, is often seen smiling proudly from the White House. “To the victor belongs the Spoils.” Sady Smith has had many years of business behind her but she still would rather be dishwasher and cook at the Vebber’s Mansion. “By the look of things she hasn’t hooked him yet!” Al Thomas, having abandoned his chicken farm on Windy Hill, has been touring the western and south- ern states in a convertable Oldsmobile. (We heard that the price of eggs had gone up!) Everett Thompson founded a famous Trigonome- trical School in Boston and is the Professor of Trig- onometry. What more could he deserve! As we leave the members of the class of ’48 in a dreamy silence, we’ll continue our long journey through life.

Chorus: O’ here’s a word of wisdom to The pupils that will throng, Pay attention to your work, our friends And never do it wrong. II Our memories will linger there With every passing day, Make your life a cheerful one, But ne’re fall by the way. Chorus: O’ here’s a word of wisdom to The pupils that will throng, Pay attention to your work, our friends And never do it wrong. Class Poem From behind the portals Of our school days laid to rest. Comes the sound of voices mingling In the halls of C H S. There’s one thing that’s quite certain As these voices greet the air, It’s not the class of '48 For it’s no longer there. But we are oh, so thankful When the past we do recall For the help, the faith, the guidance Which saved us, one and all. Our lives are yet before us Our destinies unsure Yet with courage we shall meet them And make them be secure. And so at last we’re leaving Our hearts are filled with woe To the rest we leave best wishes As hopefully on we go.

Activities Student Council Seated: Sady Smith, Florence McCarthy, Joan Crossman, Reginald Stowe, William Schwartz. Standing: Esther Johnson, Phillip Moore, Paul Olmsted. Not Shown: Kenneth Wadleigh, Reuben James, Maurice Hawley. For the third consecutive year a Student Council was organized as a clearing house for business and activi- ties concerning the students. Two member were elected from each class with the exception of the seventh and eighth grades who chose one representative. Those chosen from the various classes are: Senior Class, Sady Smith and Paul Olmsted; Juniors, Esther Johnson and Kenneth Wadleigh; Sophomores, Florence McCarthy, and Reuben James; Freshmen, Joan Crossman and Phillip Moore; with William Schwartz and Maurice Hawley from the eighth and seventh grades respectively. The following officers were elected: President, Paul Olmsted: Vice-President. Kenneth Wadleigh: Sec- retary, Florence McCarthy; Treasurer, Sady Smith. The Student Council sponsored the March of Dimes Drive and took orders for school pins. The activities were not numerous but each job was well done. The Senior Play Cast Seated: Laurine Hawley—Shelia Scott—(An elder Daughter: Sady Smith—Mrs. Beulah Scott—(A widow): Lorraine Leonard—Lucille Scott—(The younger Daughter); Teresa Reynolds—Doris Weaver—(Sheila's best friend); Keitha LaPoint—Tomasina Cooper—(A girl from Texas). Standing: Floyd Fallon—Cactus Kelley—(A Cowboy); John Frank—Preston Rogers—(Shelia’s Fiance): Clifford Savoid—Johnny Benton—(An unexpected Young Man); Everett Thompson—Eshew Smith—(John ny’s Colored Valet); Kermit Ford—Wilbur Scott—(Beulah’s youngest)—A Freshman. Not Shown: Harriett Kennedy—Peaceful Johnson—(A colored maid)—Mr. Stark—Director. Our Senior Play, “Cousin From Texas,’’ was presented this year under several handicaps but with “Rip- roarin’ success.’’ There seemed to be an epidemic of appendicitis during the casting and rehearsal of the play. Two of the senior boys, A1 Thomas and Phillip Mi ddelstaedt, were confined to the hospital during the casting of the play, and Beverly Jones followed two weeks later, after having accepted a part in the play. Harriett Kennedy substituted for Beverly and through h ard work the play went on as scheduled. Two performances were given, a matinee in the afternoon for the school, and the evening performance for the public. Kermit Ford, a freshman who consented to do the part of Wilbur, a youngster, will well be remembered for his various attempts to break vases as part of his performance in the play. Everyone did a fine job, with Everett and Harriet stealing the show as colored sei’vant.s. Mrs. Havdey assisted Mr. Stark with the make-up of the characters. Racquetteer Staff Each year the school paper, the “Racquetteer”, is published by a staff under the direction of one or two advisors. The paper was published twice a month, distributed among the rural schools and exchanged with neighboring schools. The work was covered efficiently by the following staff: Editor-in-Chief ..
