Class History t ET us take a walk back through the years--oh, let's say back to 1947 and watch the anxious Freshman class, with all the excitement of their first year of high school. The teachers looked at us with the hope that springs forlornly eternal as they remembered previous Freshman classes. We plunged vigorously and distastefully into Latin, French and Algebra, which were all new to us, but we were determined to conquer them. As we entered our Sophomore year, we settled into the Study Hall with Miss Arm- strong as our home room teacher. Margaret Van Vranken and Martin Meyer brought glory and honor to the Sophomores that year as members of the Quiz Team. The music festival was held in Amsterdam with many representing our class. June soon arrived, and we were no longer underclassmen but assumed the mantle of sedate Juniors. We became money conscious thinking of our Senior trip. With Mr. Vroman as our advisor and Frank Plummer as our president, we sold magazine subscriptions, held dances after the basketball games, sponsored a magiciar show, and took over the coke concession from the Seniors. When our class rings finally arrived, the Juniors were very proud, indeed. The music festival was held in Hudson this year with many of our classmates attending. Now is September of 1950 led by Mr. Palmatier, we had reached our destination which was Room 6—which meant we were full-fledged Seniors. The most memorable of all events to many of the Seniors was the trip to Washington. The visit at Gettysberg Battlefield then the tours of the Congressional Library, Pan American Building, Arling- ton National Cemetery and Mount Vernon were all exciting and breath-taking. We re- turned home from a never-to-be forgotten trip, perhaps tired, but we were contented. As our yearbook went to press, we were all anticipating commencement weekend. The prom, an important occasion and graduation were now uppermost in our minds. Some of our members were going to be left behind at graduation, but as we think back to 1951, we will all agree that we had just finished the best years of our lives. Joan Merton 15

Bilodeau Prophecy Richardson Shattuck Van Vranken We saw Elaine driving her husband's wood truck down into the wood yard the other day. Wonder why? We have seen over T. V. that June Marie has taken over the Jerry Lester show. She's a George girl now. Cal now owns four big trucks and is slowly ruining Center Street by riding around so much. Bob still delivers milk and on the side gives 3 easy lessons on how to milk a cow. Beverly is now a very successful secretary and also has a nice ring from her boss. A lot of little midgets are running around Midge these days. Bill is now a lucrative electrician and has a long list of customers. Somehow Claire is still single, but we hear she's very busy evading doctors at the hospital where she works---if not vice versa. Lorraine's doing fine at her ice cream parlor. She has open house quite often, too. Dorothy always wanted to join the WACS. Now they have drafted her. The fight- ing will soon be over. Karl doesn't seem to be tied down yet, but you never can tell---girls like neatly combed hair. Ronnie has a medicine show of his own now and has a new Lincoln to drag his trailer around. Mary Ann is teaching her favorite sub- ject-Social Studies-at Corinth High. She also has a new car---no fenders, of course. Joan is head waitress at the Encore and has many little helpers. Irv is now head of the shop and ath- letic program — Montgomery and Crawley are his assistants. There is a new garage in Luzerne called Harold's Garage. Harold is the No. 1 mechanic. Doris has fulfilled her plans to be a nurse and is very successful. Margaret is seen downstreet quite of- ten with Pete, Jr. , and she says sh.e gets a letter from Florida often. We hope Chet is making money on his trolley which goes up West Mountain, but he probably is. Janice runs a bus system across the flats so people don't have to walk home on cold nights. Barbara has her own beauty parlor and still keeps her own hair as neat and pretty as ever. CHarles S-
