n .%mv V V.V'V ;; a edicuti ton We the class of nineteen- hundred sixty-one wish to dedi- cate this Coltonianto Miss Hayes, our faithful and beloved advisor through our Junior and Senior years. It is to her that we owe the success of all our Junior and Senior activities, especially our Junior play. As the doors of your high school close behind you and you find yourself overwhelmed by the vastness and uncertainty of the future, just as the paratrooper making his first jump onto enemy territory has for his immediate goal the ground, and the little bird being thrust from its nest by its parents has for its immediate goal the sky, you have as yours, a career. All three of you have the ultimate goals of success and survival. The paratrooper proceeds cautiously, always aware of everything around him, retracing his steps, sometimes lying motionless, sometimes crawling and sometimes running. He is prepared through long hours of training and practice to endure every hardship, to overcome every obstacle. The Tittle bird tries its wings, flutters to the ground and tries again. At last successful it soars into the sky only to find that it must be ever alert to the shifting winds and sneak attacks by birds of prey. You the graduates of 1961 will soon learn that the road to success is rarely smooth. For twelve years we have tried to prepare you for it. You have learned to read, to write, to reason, to appreciate the arts, to guard your health and to get along with others. These are your tools; now it is up to you to start using them. Don’t be afraid if you have made a mistake in the choice of your career to turn back and start anew. Don’t give up when the first obstacle presents itself. The grass on the other side of the fence always looks greener, but you will never find out if it is unless you climb over the fence. Never stop learning. You don’t have to go to college to do this. Read, think, be ever mindful of the beauty around you, be understanding of others, love your country, live well, be a good citizen worthy of the respect of your fellow men. Whatever you choose as your occupation give it the best you have in you and be proud of it. These are my parting words to the class of 1961--May you leave the world better than you found it. The members of the Senior Class wish to take this opportunity to extend their gratitude to the Board of Education for the many goals we have attained because of their assistance and understanding.

After waiting nine long years, we were finally in high school. Our first step was to elect class officers; we elected John Fitzpatrick as our advisor; William Lennox, President; Sarah Fisher, Vice-President; Sandra Litten, Treasurer; Margaret Fitz- patrick, Secretary. Student Council members were: Linda Smith and Allen Fisher. During the year we gained Bruce Law, and Daniel Given. After a short time, Daniel Given, Phillip Smith, and David Smith left. For our first activity we held a square dance in the gym. We started out in our Sophomore year with thirty pupils. Again we chose John Fitzpatrick as our advisor. We elected Josiphine Creighton, President; Anne Trivilino, Vice-President; Margaret Fitzpatrick, Secretary; Sandra Lit- ten, Treasurer. Student Council members were Linda Hogle, and William Len- nox. This year we profited by holding a Halloween, and St. Patricks dance. In the fall of 1959 we entered our Junior year with twenty-six students. During this year we gained and lost a few students. We selectedMiss KatherynHayes as our ad- visor; Sandra Litten, President; William Lennox, Vice-Presi- dent; Margaret Fitzpatrick, Secretary; Anne Trivilino, Treasurer, Student Council members were: Josiphine Creighton, and Grant Gould. Our first important event was selecting our class rings, and then we waited patiently for them. We presented a play Gentlemen Preferred, and sold Christmas cards for money. Toward the closing of this year we spent the majority of our time working on our Junior prom. Upon entering our Senior year our class had twenty-four students. Again we elected Miss Katheryn Hayes as our advisor. Mr. Norman Whyte, and Mr. Jerome Wilson as our yearbook advisors. Sandra Litten, President; Josiphine Creighton, Vice-President; William Lennox, Secretary; Grant Gould, Treasurer. Student Council members were: Linda Hogle and Ted Fisher. Our activities were Magazines sales, suppers, food sales, dances, our yearbook and New York trip. We forward the best year of our lives, and wonderful mem- ories of Colton High School to all future classes.

Signed this twenty-second day of June, nineteen- hundred and sixty-one: The first edition of the “Colton Tribune” has been released and I find many interesting facts concerning the members of the Class of “61.” The year 1981 finds David Gibson the editor of the novel newspaper. He now earns $22,000 a month. His business manager Sheila Hance, finds that he is a slave driver for she has to act as paperboy, and ride her bicycle through the streets of Colton, and deliver the papers. Margaret Fitzpatrick finds it difficult to work too, for she has to type the headlines, sub-headlines, and the newspaper articles with the same rattle trap typewriter. It is quite a feat to get the different sizes of types with the one typewriter, but somehow Maggie manages. Since Sandy Litten drove all the cartoonists out of business, she has to create all of the cartoons in the United States, and of course this takes in the “Colton Tribune.” After I have noticed the staff members of Northern New York’s newest paper, I began to read it. The headlines are the first to catch my eye. “Junior Howe, Chased Up Tree By Large Angora Cat.” Junior just returned home from an African game hunt and apparently he was confused by the yellow cat, and mistook it for a lion. After reading this interesting bit of news my eyes skipped to an article beneath it. Trapper Collins who is also interested in wild- life, has recently trapped a prized fur ... a mouse. He made a pair of earrings out of the valuable fur and presented-Tt as a gift to his wife, the former Josie Creighton. She has retired from her writing profession to tend to their darling twin boys. Wayne Ames, another “61” graduate has just perfected a magnificent recipe for baked beans. The newspaper has a large colored picture of Wayne and his famous dish. Three teachers in the Colton area that have received an honorable write-up in the “Colton Tribune” are Diane Clark, English Teacher; Ozzie Gould, history teacher; and Mary Gerrish. Business Teacher. It seems that the three teachers have perfected a device for problem students. The device is a leather strap with razor sharp studs on it. I can’t understand why that would discipline the “kids.” A1 Fisher has also made news. Since he has owned a large construction firm, he has made billions of dollars. Linda, his wife, the former Linda Smith, wishes to move to Paris, France, so A1 is selling his machinery and business at a world-wide auction. Al’s cousin Teddy is going to be the auctioneer. Teddy chose this profession because he stutters, and while auctioneering, no one can tell the difference. Kay Thomas, who recently made a breath taking trip; served as stewardess on the first jet flight to the moon. Bill1 Lennox designed, built, and piloted the airship. Today Bill announced his engagement to a pretty moon girl. The birth announcements stated that Jeanne Stowe Green has increased the population to South Colton by giving birth to her seventh child. In the movie section of the paper, I find even more news about Colton’s graduation class of twenty years ago. Sarah Fisher, one of the most intelligent girls of “61” moved to Holly- wood and is now co-starring with Elvis in his latest movie, “How To Grow Old Gracefully.” Joan Smith recently married Tab Hunter and is now living in a huge palace next to Sheila Snyder’s establishment. Shiela is a beautiful opera star and she delights in performing operatic solos for Ed Sullivan. The ads are of special interest to me, since I need to hire a mechanic to fix my Italian sports car. Oh! Bill Huckle has a garage down by the river. He said I could drop in anytime to have the car checked. Beneath Bill's ad is another of interest. Gary Collins has opened up a jitterbug school and is the main teacher. But because he cannot handle all of the customers, he hired Jackie Paro to be his aid. The paper has been read, so I quietly lay it aside and try to get some sleep, for I have to rise early tomorrow morning to train tigers. FRONT ROW: R. Coller, P. Weegar, L. Huto, S. Huto, M.

Mrs. Collins Mrs. Gardner Miss Cj'Gorman Mrs. Boyd n At a certain time each year there seems to be a hurly-burly, so far as the Juniors are concerned. Yes, they are trying to get ready for something they have long awaited, the annual JUNIOR PROM. On June 4, 1960 the Juniors held their prom with the assistance of the Class Advisor, Miss Hayes. The JUNIOR PROM was held in the gymnasium. Green and white crepe paper hung from the ceiling and gay colored balloons hung from the middle of the gymnasium. Silver hearts, silhouettes of people and balloons were placed on the walls. Vases of gladiolus were placed around the gymnasium. Tables were beautifully covered with white table-cloths. Coronation was held in the auditorium which was beautifully decorated with gladiolus. The audience was seated and ready when the JUNIOR CLASS entered. The Royalty of the 1959 Junior Prom crowned the Royalty of the 1960 JUNIOR PROM. Crowned were Anne Trivilino, Princess; Blanchard Howe, Prince; Josephine Creighton, Queen; and Allen Fisher, King. The Royalty led the Grand March back to the Gymnasium and everyone danced to the music of the Moonglo Quartet. “Song in My Heart” was in all respects an absolute success. In our Junior Year, we, the class of nineteen hundred sixty-one-presented a three act comedy called “Gentlemen Preferred ; the afternoon and evening performances of the play, although held on the unlucky day of Friday the thirteenth, was a magnificent success. The hilarious happenings of the play told of a young mans adventures while living in a boarding house in a town where he has just taken a new job. Bob Brantly, played by “Ozzie” Gould, falls in love with a young and pretty boarder Nancy Starling, played by Linda Smith. Due to many complications another pretty girl Geraldine Monk, played by Josie Creighton, thinks that Bob is in love with her. In the midst of the whole affair we find the owner of the boarding house Mrs. Whitson, played by Diane Clark, trying to keep peace, to no avail, among all her guests. Others in the cast that made this play one of the most hilarious comedy seen in Colton in some years were: Jack Miller, played by Allen Fisher Bill Rennolds, played by Bill Huckle Judy Long, played by Joan Smith Lil Groham, played by Margaret Fitzpatrick Goldie Eickleberger, played by Ann Trivilino “Doc” Grayson, played by David Gibson Policeman, played by Lee Collins Dora, played by Sandra Litten Thadeus Huckubee, played by Ted Fisher. The stage manager was Gary Collins and the committee on make-up included Linda Hogle, Sandra Cayen, Charles Powers, Sheila Snyder and Jackie Paro. Advertising was under- taken by most members of the class, others besides those already mentioned were Bill Lennox, Blanchard Howe, Ella Green, Wayne Ames and Jeanne Stowe. Acting as mistress of cere- monies was Shirley Coller. We at this time would also like to give special notice to Anne Trivilino for her excellent work as “Goldie, especially since Anne was put in for the part just four days prior to the opening curtain. We the class of “1961 would also like to thank Miss Katherine Hayes for her hard work and patience in the direction of “GENTLEMEN PREFERRED. NATIONAL HONOR SOCIETY The National Honor Society is an organization that was primarily established to stimulate scholastic aptitude in the secondary school system, and to strive to place education on higher levels. Today it retains these same basic standards. To obtain membership in this respected society, the candidate must be a member of the sophomore, junior, or senior class, and must have a scholastic average of 85% or its equivalent. All students who rise to or above the standard level in scholastic ability, shall be admitted to candidacy for election to membership. The model constitution provides special membership regulations for admitting members of the sophomore class as probationary members, provided that they satisfy all requirements placed upon candi- dates from the junior and senior class. Being a member of the society provides benefits. As an applicant to a college, one receives much more attention if he has maintained and average above 85% and is a member of the National Honor Society. The organization also develops worthwhile attributes con- sisting of character, leadership, and service. STANDING: W. Lennox, L. Selleck, L. Hogle, K. Miller. SEATED: M. Fitzpatrick, M. Dean, C.

The Christmas Program and the music provided by Chorus and Band were supervised by William Riehl Jr. and Mrs. Vaklavik of the Music Department, with the as- sistance of teachers whose students appeared in the formance. The Christmas Program de- veloped a story based on the theme in which the Colton school is decorated, which is Christmas Around , the World. The entire school represents in different classrooms different countries, the Kindergartens and the First grades doing decorations in the style of the United States; second grades, Italy; third grades Sweden and Norway; Fourth grades,_ Germany; Fifth grades, Mexico;' Sixth grades, Russia, ‘Seventh grade. Old England; Eighth grades, Switzerland and Ireland; Ninth grade, Spain; Tenth grade, France; Eleventh grade, Finland and phases of English Christmas traditions, andf the Lobby leading to the Auditorium featured a Nativity Scene, the first Christmas in the world, in the main display case. Following the evening per- formance, parents and guests visited the various homerooms, classrooms, offices and Cafeteria, which was trimmed most effec- tively with banners announcing Merry Christmas in the lan- guages of all the countries rep- resented in the school; Student Council and Class of- ficers acted as ushers for the per- formance, including Theodore Fisher, Duncan Mackey, Gary Collins, Linda Hogle, Barbara Moore, and Linda and Laura Sel- leck. Principal Corbitt spoke to the evening audience, extending a welcome to the school to the en- tire community. He also an- nounced the dates of Christmas Vacation, from noon December 21 till Tuesday, 'rcjciniza tiond VARSITY BASKETBALL TEAM VARSITY RECORD Colton 58 St. Regis 59 Colton 60 Russell 32 Colton 53 Parishville 54 Colton 39 Harrisville 58 Colton 34 Edwards 54 Colton 56 Clifton- Fine 79 Colton 59 Salmon River 67 Colton 78 Russell 45 Colton 60 St. Lawrence 65 Colton 82 Parishville 58 Colton 56 Salmon River 69 Colton 40 Harrisville 20 Colton 55 St. Regis 68 Colton 55 Edwards 86 Colton 55 Clifton- Fine 66 Colton 56 Parishville 32 The Varsity Basketball Team ended the season with a 4-12 record.

Under the helm of Co-Captains Ernie Gard- ner and Gary Collins the junior high team finished the 60-61 season with a record of 10 wins and 5 losses. All the games turned out to be thrillers, many being determined by one or two points. Be- cause of interest and participation of the boys in grades 7-9, three teams were formed; each repre- senting a class from the junior high school grades. These teams showed much improvement in skills and all-around basketball performance this season and should represent Colton well in the seasons to come.

With the ever increasing number of boys taking interest in basketball, with the younger students, in the Colton school district the coaching staff felt that all the boys should be given a chance to play, thus three teams were formed. The seventh and eighth grades crowded the limelight this year with the seventh winning two and losing three. The eighth garnered four wins and two losses while adding invaluable depth to the ninth grade squad in league play. As you see by the record all these wins or losses were to much larger schools. The future looks bright! 7TH GRADE RECORD Colton 39 Norwood 30 Colton 31 Canton 34 Colton 13 Norwood 2 6 Colton 30 Canton 22 Colton 10 Massena 33 D. Decker, W. Miller, J. Fisher, J. Buckley, R.
