Class Mistory It was in 1950 that the Odyssey of the class of 1956 began. We were in the seventh grade, ably commanded by Miss Lindsay, Mr. Groff, and Mr. Spiel- denner. The High School, which we had always looked forward to attending, seemed huge and full of upper classmen and teachers and stairs. We had our first taste of passing to and from classes, were issued street lockers, and life seemed indeed complete. And we came in contact with assemblies, which seemed blessed Interruptions of academic routine. But we didn't know what we were missing. We became eighth graders with Miss Iorio, Mrs. Gilmore, and Mr. Church to guide us on our merry way. In January, Miss Iorio left and was replaced by Miss Reimenthal. We were faced with four Regents exams in June — our first shattering experience of this kind. Fortunately, most of us passed and went on to higher things. We were faced with another new problem this year; that of deciding on a high school course and choosing our classes. So, as all things come to an end eventually, we became freshmen. Now we were really in high school, and, under the supervision of Miss Armstrong and Mr. Groff, we worked for that all-important four credits which would make us sophomores. Some of us became members of the library club amid much laughter. We realized that our subjects were not nearly so difficult as we’d imagined they would be. Our Regents diplomas were distributed, giving us a suitable sense of achievement. This year ended too, in June, with a minimum of casualties, and we be- came sober sophomores. The sophomore is generally assumed to be studious and industrious. We must have been, because that year we gave a Sophomore Hop, our first dance. It was a success, and, boy, were we proud! Still basking in the sunlight of this success, we were promoted to the exalted position of Juniors. We had time off for good behaviour and returned in September ready for the fray. Immediately we started on our money-making activities for our senior trip. We instituted an energetic campaign to sell magazine subscriptions. This venture proved successful under the supervision of Mr. Martel. We elected Donal Lewis, class president; and Fred Allen, Sharon Cowles and Eleanor Hopkins as vice president, secretary, and treasurer respectively. No sooner were we finished

with selling magazine subscriptions, however, when we began to think about classrings. A representative of the company came; we ordered our rings and spent the time until their arrival in thrilled anticipation. They arrived in January and we walked on air. After Easter vacation we took over the fund-raising activities of the Seniors. Eleanor Hopkins and Brian Viele attended the Citizenship Edu- cation day in Syracuse as our representatives. Then we received the bad news that it would be impossible for a class of our size to go to Washington. We weathered this cataclysmic revelation, however, and began to think more lucidly of the yearbook we'd decided to publish. As the year came to an end, we con- centrated on decorating for the Junior-Senior Prom. We spent a wonderful even- ing dancing to the music of Steve Anthony and his band. We entered upon our senior year in high school in September of 1955 We started the year with high spirits because we had learned, during tne summer, that the village would give us part of the money necessary for the trip, making it feasible after all. Once more under the guidance of Mr. Martel, we elected Donal Lewis for a second term as president. At the same time we elected Elwyn Parker, vice President; Clarice Church, secretary; and Sharon Cowles, treasurer. In the best Yankee tradition we started raising funds right away. We held dances and sold coke and potato chips, held a senior play and sponsored the Gilbert and Sullivan operetta, The Mikado. Leads in these productions were very well played by several members of our class. The climax of our year came with the trip to Washington and New York which had been so eagerly awaited by all of us. We saw the Washington Monu- ment, Lincoln Memorial, Mount Vernon, Arlington Cemetery, the Library of Congress, and countless other places of importance. We saw New York City from one end to the other via the subways and purchased souvenirs of our trip. After our return, the days sped onward until June. Now we can reminisce about all the fun, not unalloyed with sadness, which has marked our high school career. Wherever we go, we will always hold Corinth Central School and the friendships incurred there in our hearts and minds forever. Jennifer Robinson Gladys Fowler
