In the fall of 1957, we entered our Freshman year with thirty- four members. 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. Diane Clark

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.
