Later, as the poet says: Forsan et haec olim meminissee juvabit! First of all, our class entered Colton High School in 1945, with a small, well-behaved group of twelve members, all uncon- scious of the future, and all anxious to know what lay ahead. At the first class meeting, Lloyd Daniels was elected president; Katherine Vanderburg, vice-president; Barbara Fisher, secretary; Harold Perkins, treasurer; and Mrs. Hawley, class advisor. As Freshmen, we sang in the Glee Club, played basketball, joined in the band, and tried hard! At exam time, lo! everyone passed!! In the fall of '46 we returned to school, but now we were thirteen, for, though John Austin and Larry Sullivan had left us In the summer, we gained Mary Hayes, Edward Thompson, and Kenny Wadleigh. As Sophomores, we re-elected Lloyd Daniels president, and Harold Perkins, vice-president; Edward Thompson was chosen secretary; Billy Selleck became treasurer, and Mrs. Roland Saucier was chosen class advisor. We set a record that year, for we staged two activities, the first being the Annual Sophomore party at Hallowe'en, and the second, the presentation of a one-act play, Deferential Kind- ness. But our Junior year we were a smali class indeed, for illness took Mary Hayes out for a year, Betty Shea married, and Billy Selleck had left school. At the end of the Junior year we had also lost Hilda Newton to matrimony, and Kenny Wadleigh to the Navy. And the very last day of summer vacation, Lloyd Daniels went into the Army! But Junior year saw us starting another new money raising activity, the sale of Christmas cards; our Junior Rings were ordered, and at the end of the year we gave our Stardust Junior Prom. Our officers that year were the same as those of our Soph year, but we'd had to change our advisors, Mr. O. F. Freeman consenting that year to guide us. And then, our Senior Year! What we did to raise money for our Yearbook, and our hopes for a trip, and our gift to the school, are all so well known we don't have to recite them: paper collections, food sale. Bingo, advertising sales, and our Senior play GAY ! My! How we worked, and there were only eight of us, for Rita LeBlanc had joined our class in her Junior year, and Frances Vanderburg, too. Senior year we had our own home room, and our class advisor, Mrs. Saucier, in charge of it and of us. Edward Thompson was president; Harold Perkins, vice- president, and Esther Johnson became secretary-treasurer. There it is, all written down here, and now that it's June 1949, it's all a matter of the past. Thus always with history! Last Will and Testament of the Class of ’49 We, the Senior Class of 1949, of the Colton Pierrepont Cen- tral School, being of very sound health of body, and passable health of mind, do hereby will and bequeath the following pos- sessions, tangible and intangible, to the herein stated recipients: TO MR. CORBITT, the pleasure of seeing a new school building for Colton children, a fitting summation of years of intense effort on his part; TO THE JUNIORS, an expert pattern of how to raise money and still remain friends with people; TO THE SOPHOMORES, our skill in dramatics and the hope that as a group it will present more plays; TO THE FRESHMEN, our capable advisor, Mrs. Saucier, with plenty cf ideas for class activities; TO PATSY O'DONNELL, Rita LeBlanc leaves her ability to keep quiet; TO EDDIE GARDNER, Esther Johnson leaves her neat handwrit- ing and the request that he use it; TO PEGGY O'DONNELL, Frances Vanderburg leaves her attitud toward Socia! Studies, and her well-developed skill i arguing therein; TO MARY LOUISE PERKINS, Katherine Vanderburg leaves ff ability to crack bubbles while chewing Dentyne chewif gum; TO GRETA JAMES, Barbara Fisher leaves her ability to work an earn money after school; TO GORDON FLEMING, David Sevey leaves his ability to be school three days cut cf five and still pass; TO PHILIP MOORE, Edward Thompson leaves his ability to be I, possessor cf high marks in school; TO KERMIT FORD, Harold Perkins leaves his alarm clock, and ability to get by on a minimum of homework mixed wl a maximum of personality.

Alumni of Colton School Hold Reunion CLASS OF '49 GREETS AMERICAN AMBASSADOR June 25, 1964 (AP)—Yesterday ihe former members of the class of 1949 met at the city airport in Colton to welcome one of their classmates, Edward (W. E.) Thompson, who is now the American Ambassador to France. Mr. Thompson has just returned home after spending three years abroad; he is reported to have found many changes in both his native town and his former class- mates. After welcoming Mr. Thompson at the airport, a banquet was held in Sevey's Hotel which is now owned and operated by David Sevey, and located on Maple Street in this city. Piece de resistance of the supper was a huge cake, made in the shape of the new High School building, erected in 1950 and 1951. Besides Mr. Thompson and Mr. Sevey, those present at the banquet were all former classmates: Miss Esther Johnson, who is manager of the Johnson Baby Products, Inc. in Boston,- Miss Kath- erine Vanderburg, secretary at Mousaw's Construction Company in Canton; Miss Barbara Fisher, head bookkeeper in Bell's Servi Station in Canton; Mr. Harold Perkins, famous English gram- professor at Yale University; Miss Frances Vanderburg, ciarine now home, for a brief family visit, from her work in a well kno! New York night club; Miss Rita C. LeBlanc, bookkeeper in office of the Coleman Hatcheries of this city, and Miss MJ Hayes, now a registered nurse at the Sacramento General Ha pital in Sacramento, California. Also present was the da former Senior Advisor, Mrs. Roland F. Saucier, whose retirem from the Colton School system took place some time ago, action necessitated by her multitudinous family. While dinner was served, the guests were entertained music provided by a local orchestra, and by a long and ins’ tive talk on foreign afFairs in France, given by Mr. Thomp and judging by which his former classmates said that W. E. had changed a bit; the evening concluded with plans for ano reunion in 1979. And ail tke The Juniors Top Row: Alton Young, Reuben James, Reginald Stowe, Daniel Hurley.

Post Graduate Transportation 1949's Post Graduate class consisted of Joseph Seaver, who not only put in a profitable year of studying, but also assisted during the basketball season, acting as assistant manager and timer for the games Colton's trusty bus drivers contributed in keeping attendant at its usual good level, in spite of snow, ice and all the vagarie of weather. This year's drivers were: Morris McEwen Morris Trimm Joseph Green Blanchard Howe Millard France Roland Saucier Custodians No school could get along without them, the people who keep the school buildings in shape. Dean of them all in years of service is Harold Cayey, who takes care of the Colton Ele- mentary schools; Morris McEwen has care of the High School building; Millard France has the Selleck School; Morris Trimm keeps the South Colton School cleaned, and Blanchard Howe takes care of the appearance of the Frank School.

Ray! Team! Team! Team! And cheers for a season with a lot of fun, a lot of fans, and a lot of action! And best of all, the revival of an old custom—the annua! basketball banquet! On March 24, Thursday evening, ninety guests attended a de-luxe banquet in the Hepburn Library Hall, one held in honor of the teams and the cheerleaders. The tables were decorated in purple and gold with flowers, and place cards of miniature megaphones; purple and gold menus gave the names of the teams and the cheerleaders and the articles on the baked ham dinner menu. The guests contributed to the gaiety! Among the guests were the entire school personnel and their husbands and wives; the members of the Board of Education and their wives; ihe bus drivers (who always got us to the games!) and their wives; the two teams, of course; the Varsity and JV cheerleaders, and at the speaker's table, in addition to Principal and Mrs. Corbitt, the Reverend and Mrs. Charles Thompson, Mr. and Mrs. Francis Kelley; Mr. and Mrs. Barnet Corbin and Mr. and Mrs. William Armet. Letters and awards to the teams and the girls climaxed the after dinner speeches, and everyone went home, pleased with the pleasant evening and the return of a happy custom.

The Racquetter The RACQUETTEER, our school paper, went into its fifth consecutive year in 1949, but there were some changes made. At the beginning of the year a press club meeting was held and a staff was chosen. This year the paper was published monthly, but—an innovation—the paper was confined to four pages.

The High School Bands 1948-1949 was a busy school year for the Music Depart- ment, with the Senior Band carrying on its work in a manner in keeping with the precedents set by previous groups, and with the formation of a Junior Band. Work began even before school opened last Fall, with the marching band appearing in the annual Labor Day Parade under the new conductor, Mr. Riehl. Then in November, five members were chosen to play in the picked band at the Northern New York State Music Clinic in Potsdam. In late November, twelve band members played entr'acte music for the Senior Play. December brought the •Christmas Program, A Christmas Story In Song, held in the South Colton Parish Hall, a program that was the combined work of the concert band, the girls' chorus, and soloists Maithena Van Brocklin and Elizabeth Hurley, and Edward Thompson, the Jiarrator. Basketball season brought on the appearance of the Pep Band, made up of members of the Senior Band, and brought music to the games. Laced in between the lessons of band mem- bers were hours of practice for the Northern New York Music Festival held in May in Potsdam. And it was during the winter that Junior band was organized. This appeared in the second semester to give beginning instrumental students experience in playing together. The membership of the band includes begin- ners from third grade to high school, and those who qualify at the end of the year will progress to the Senior Band. With spring the Band made its appearance in public with the evening concerts held in both Colton and South Colton, the first of which was made in South Colton in April, and the last, in late spring in Colton. And Graduation marked the last appear- ance cf the busy Band of 1948 and '49! Senior Band OFFICERS PRESIDENT.................................Daniel Hurley SECRETARY-TREASURER.......................
