Class History In the fall of 1960 we, the Class of 1964, entered our Freshman year with great hopes that we would contribute to the well-being of our beloved school. Beginning our first year of high school with thirty-eight students, the class welcomed a new student, Mary Gorman, and a former student, Marie Sevey. Our first event was electing the class officers. The decision was as follows: President - Kathy Glasgow; Vice President - Lois Fisher; Secretary - Grace Long; Treasurer - Neil Willmart; and Student Council members - Barbara Moore and Gary Collins. For our class advisor, we chose Mrs. Jacot. During the forty weeks of school, we lost Wayne Despaw, Eugene Stevenson, Richard Trimm, Harriet Farns, Nancy Kail, and Arlene Rathburn. Our outstanding events of the year included obtain- ing class pins and sponsoring the Valentine Dance. Upon entering our Sophomore year, we found that we had only thirty-one students. Bernard Snyder, John Westerdick, Corena Faulkner, and Rose Murray did not return. Allen Robinson left us shortly after school commenced to move to Booneville, and Eldon Bullis left us during the year to join the service. The class officers were President - Kathy Glasgow; Vice President - Gary Collins; Secretary - Grace Long; Treasurer - Lois Fisher; and Student Council members - Barbara Moore and Charles Hepburn. Our class advisor was Mrs. Saucier. However, during the year, Mrs. Saucier, as a result of failing health, was forced to resign as our Class Advisor and Miss Mein took up the position. The spectacular occasions of the year were the Halloween Dance with the frightening Hall of Horrors, and the St. Patrick's Dance. In the fall of 1962, twenty-nine pupils climbed the ladder one step further, thus becoming Juniors. Mary Gorman and Jerry Connelly were the only ones who did not return. Mary moved to Massena and Jerry went to Watertown to attend the Immaculate Heart Academy. Also, Rose Murray returned at the beginning of the year. The class officers were as follows: President - Kathy Glasgow; Vice President - Gary Collins; Secretary - Grace Long; Treasurer - Lois Fisher; and Student Council mem- bers - Betty La Lone and Richard Van Dusen. Class Advisor was Mr. Murphy, the school coach. In November, we sold Christmas cards at a considerable profit. With the aid of Mrs. Saucier and Mr. Murphy, we presented our successful Junior Play, High School Hero. On May 25, we presented our Junior Prom, the theme of which was Cinderella Ball. The thrilling moment arrived when we dis- covered who had become the royalty of the Class of 1964. They were King - Gary Collins, Queen - Lois Fisher, Prince - Bill Rogers, and Princess - Barbara Moore. Much to our chagrin, we lost Betty LaLone as she graduated with the Class of 1963. Our hard-working students finally reached the top scale of the ladder and became Seniors. Added to our list of twenty-six students was Donna Hartranft, a new student, and Jerry Connelly, an ex - student. With the opening of the year came the election of the class officers. Class officers for our final high school year were President - Kathy Glasgow, Vice President - Lois Fisher, Secretary - Grace Long, Treasurer - Bill Rogers, and Student Council members - Donna Hartranft and Jerry Con- nelly. We elected Mr. Whyte as Class Advisor and Mrs. Sullivan as Yearbook Advisor. After wait- ing several months, our class rings finally arrived. Our main activities were selling magazines, ice cream, and the completion of the yearbook, along with numerous dances and other projects. The majority of the Senior year was spent in dreaming and planning for the Senior trip, in which we get to view the New York World's Fair. At the conclusion of our four years of high school, we, the Class of 1964, wish to say, Farewell to dear old C.P.C.S.
