011183 HIS1lllll On September 18, 1950, the Class of 1954, the Class with the Character as we were later named, entered the gates of the Columbia School. With us that day were eight new girls, to take the place of Sally and Diana. Shall we ever forget initiations? Such creatures as Teddy Snow Crop Cameron and Gorgeous George Foxall appeared before the school as a preview of what to expect from us for the next four years. We became actresses that year with our origi- nal play, which we appropriately named Just Plain Different. Never has Miss T. had such fun as when she taught Marty and Toni to be insane. They learned quickly!!! As Sophomores, in spite of losing three girls, we gained Nancy and Heather and managed to get our revenge on the Freshmen at initiation. We snared our dates for the Christmas Dance early that year. Just ask Barb Beale about the changes that can take place between October and December. May brought the crowning of the Seniors and our graceful performance,as danc- ers. Many of us wished we hadn't eaten so many strawberries, but the bad effects didn't last long enough to prevent us from becoming Juniors. Two more characters from Pittsford were added to the collection in our Junior year. With Mamzelle as our homeroom teacher we managed to get into more trouble and stay even longer on Fridays, especially Cindy. We established the Constitution of Conservative Women and most of us managed to abide by its stringent laws. Responsibilities hit us hard when March came, and with it the Fathers'-and-Daughters' Banquet. Then on top of that we became launched on our Social Welfare proiect: a fashion show, which was much work but very reward- ing. As tradition goes, we gave the Graduation Dance in honor of the Seniors, and--thanks to our mothers, who did all the work--we stayed out well into the wee hours of the morning. We ended our Junior year broke, but had faith in Barb Bowman who we knew would continue to hound us for dues. All sixteen of us came back from summer vacation mature , responsible , and ready to settle down to the difficult iobs ahead. Regardless of the fact that we poor Geeses had spent most of our Fridays staying for Mamzelle, we had requested, and she had consented iwith loud groansl to have us for another year. And so once again we suffered through dark homeroom periods, clean closets, and straightening chairs f five in a row l and faithfully f'?1 said Bonjour every morning to our pauvre petite Mother Goose. We invaded the U. of R. for more than one reason this year, College Boards being the most enjoyable one, of course. f ln spite of all the fun we had been having, the work must have been too hard, since it was necessary for Sally and Julie to take rather prolonged vacations. However, the rest of us managed to keep going until Christmas without any maior mishaps. As a matter of fact, in order to make the work less tedious we produced some book reports which were apparently such excellent criticism that they were posted on the bulletin board. As a result, some of us have decided to take up writing as a career. The Christmas Dance was a great success with Margaret as its chairman. And after a wonderful vacation, duringwhich Shirley, Sue, Ann, and Elaine became temporarily engaged, we settled down once again. We now were looking forward with the greatest ioy to exams, College Boards, college acceptances, college weekends, and GRADUATION. 26
