Class History FTER four years of toil and pleasure, the time has come for us to leave Corfu High. We are now stepping into a new future facing more and greater responsibilities. We always will be able to look back with pleasant memories to all the wonderful times we had together during our high school career. In September 1950, our first task as Freshman was to elect our class officers. We elected June Richley, President, Robert Brady, Vice-President, Shirley Turton, Secre- tary and June Nachtrieb, Treasurer. The highlights of the year was the Freshman Sophomore Dance with music furnished by Genesee Playboys. We made a sizable profit of 548. 00. In our Sophomore year we were joined by 25 members from East Pembroke, which increased our class to 55. Our officers were Frank Schwertoffer, President, Virginia Gerrard, Vice-President, June Richley, Secretary, and Marilyn Colby, Treasurer. Our Treasury increased when we made a profit of 342. 00 at our Freshman Sophomore Dance. The music was furnished by Wyoming Woodchoppers. Halfway up the ladder we are now upperclassmen. We began in September by electing the following officers: June Richley, Presidentg David Childs, Vice-Presidentg Agnes Fitzgerald, Secretary, and Ruth Farrington, Treasurer. A year full of fun an excitement, our first successful event was the Junior Squane Dance which boosted the treasury again. In the spring we joined the Seniors to present the Spring Ball in which we neither lost nor made money. One more step and we are now Seniors. We started our busy last year by electing the following officers to lead our class. Marek Kolkowicz, President, Barbara Smart, Vice- President, Virginia Gerrard, Secretary, and Edward Happ, Treasurer. Our first big activity was the magazine campaign. We are very proud of the new re- cord we topped by selling 52552. 50. We received a beautiful plaque for our efforts. Paul Starkweather was campaign manager and Wallace Smith, his assistant. Arlene Colby and Virginia Gerrard were team captains. The next big event was the selection of our class rings. In October we held our Senior Square Dance which was a big success, we made a profit of 5135. 00. In November we presented a three act comedy Cheaper By The Dozen directed by Miss Vant. Again we are looking forward to the Junior- Senior Ball in the spring. In Mr. Carmody's history class this year we published ahigh school handbook to help Freshman and new students become better acquainted with our school and its government. As we, the class of 1954 leave Corfu High to start a new future, we want to wish the class of 1955 all the luck and success in its Senior year and in its endeavor to carry out all the responsibilities we are leaving behind us. 12
