Senior CtaM JJiston V In September 1956, thirty-six of us, as Freshmen, entered C.P.C.S. At last we were in high school. Our first important event of the year was the election of class officers. The results were: President — Harry Clark, Vice-President — Jane Sullivan Secretary — Sarah Clohosey, and Treasurer — Nancy Doyle. Student Council members were Thomas Tucker and Nancy Smith. We chose the Coach, Mr. Whyte, as our class advisor. Being the first Freshman Class to sponsor activities, we had a dance to open basketball season where we sold basketball pins, and another dance on Valentine’s Day. In June we closed our year with a class picnic at Mr. Whyte’s home. By Fall of 1957, the Sophomore Class found itself with thirty members, having lost and gained various ones. Again we elected Coach Whyte as our advisor, and the fol- lowing class officers: President — Harry Clark, Vice-President — Nancy Doyle, Secre- tary — Ann Collins, Treasurer — Ralph Collins, and Student Council members Wil- liam White and Nancy Smith. Due to construction of the new wing and the gym, we were not able to have our annual Sophomore Halloween Dance and Party, but we prof- ited by having a St. Patrick’s Dance, selling ballpoint pens, and having a basketball game featuring the Harlem Globe Satellites. Upon entering our Junior year, we elected the following Class Officers: President — Harry Clark, Vice-President — Ralph Collins, Secretary — Ann Collins, Treasurer •— Nancy Doyle. Student Council members were William White and Patricia Gerrish. For the third consecutive year we elected Mr. Whyte as our advisor. Junior Class activ- ities consisted of the sale of Christmas Cards and corsages, the Harlem Globe Satellites and Hollywood Stars basketball games, a Christmas Dance, two movies, a food sale, and the Junior Prom. Finally, in the fall of 1959, we started our Senior year. Coach Whyte was chosen for our class advisor in our fourth and last year. At the first class meeting we elected the following officers: President — Larrie Dean, Vice-President — Harry Clark, Secre- tary — Ann Collins, Treasurer — Nancy Doyle, and Student Council members — Wil- liam White and Maxine Moore. Our class activities were magazine sales, dances, Senior Jamboree, food sales and movies. Throughout our last year we worked long and faith- fully on our yearbook. All our work was rewarded when we went on our Senior trip. Our last few days of high school were spent in anticipation of our graduation.

As I look over the. scene before me, the launching of the new battleship, the U.S. Coltonian,” the pride of the United States Naval Base on the Racquette River in Colton, I realize all the changes that have taken place in the last fifteen years since my departure after graduation in I960. Admiral White, could you spare a minute please? It’s been a long time hasn’t it?” Well it sure has, Paul. What brings you back to this part of the country?” I’m up here covering the launching of the new ship. Could you tell me who is going to be in charge of the vessel, and whether or not the rumor about new uniforms is true?” Lieutenant Henry Ford will be in command of the Coltonian.” I’ll give you a scoop on the new uniforms. You remember how good Norma, Clifford, and Leona were in art? They worked for nearly a year to design the uniforms. We had a little difficulty in choos- ing the colors. Harry Clark, who is now in the Navy, being the new teen-age idol, wanted the uniforms to be canary yellow and pink. Of course, no one agreed with him unless it was my wife, Ann, who by the way, is teaching English to the new recruits. Why don’t you come and join me for a snack in Tommy Tucker’s new Colton Hotel and restaurant?” Sure. Tell me, What is Lawrence Regan doing these days? Isn’t that Larrie Dean over there at that table?” Yes, that’s Larrie. He’s teaching history on the Base. You mean to tell me that you didn’t know that Smiley” Regan and Francis Morrow just won the crack riflemen’s award?” Tell me, did Sarah Clohosey and Ralph Collins ever get married?” Oh yes, they were married about eleven years ago. Ralph is working for Niagara Mohawk, and Sarah does a little beautician work when she isn’t taking care of their triplets. In fact that’s Hilda Lincoln over there in Sarah’s shop now. Hilda is taking a little time off from her busy household chores to have her hair restyled. I do think that Ann is her best customer though, because $45,000. out of my annual $50,000. income goes to Sarah. Mary Trivilino, my secretary, has a very hard time since Ann insists on calling the office several times a day to see if I got a raise.” Isn’t that one of the Springbrook milk trucks over there?” Yes, Kathleen Wright owns and operates the dairy now. I’m going over to the infirmary to see Eddie Cayey, who sprained his ankle while playing basketball for your brother. Do you care to come along?” Sure, I would like to go. I hear that Joan Coller, Maxine Moore, Nancy Smith, and Jane Sullivan are nurses there.” It’s been great to see you again, Paul, and thanks for coming to see me, Admiral. Your accountant, Susie Lennox, was just here to visit with me.” Well, Bill, Ed, I’ve got to be going to get my story into the paper. Boy, things sure have changed around the old place in the past few years.” Hello, Paul, how are you?” Well, if it isn’t Nancy Doyle! What are you doing these days?” Not much of anything except staying home, doing house work, taking care of Eddie, getting meals, and any other thing that goes into running a home.” Well, Nancy, You know how I’d along. Goodby.” Senior love to stay and chat, but I’ve got to be getting, pliecty
