Boland, Hilt, Craumer, Palme SENIOR CLASS june, 1943, marks the end of an era for the Seniors. They have come a long way and are destined to follow even longer paths before they finish the course of life. They have only finished the first lap when they are graduated from high school, but a good start denotes a fine finish. This year, their last in Corning Free Academy, they have done their best to make a success of all their undertakings and leave behind a good example for the Senior Classes to come, After the election of officers, came the annual magazine campaign which was successfully conducted with every member of the class doing his part. The winning team had a slight disappointment when their prize of candy could not be provided, but everyone was satisfied when Claudine Jones and Marguerite Todd received their prizes of twelve dollars and seventy-five cents each in War Stamps for selling the most subscriptions. The annual Christmas Ball, given December 3o, was the next major event of the year. The gym, adorned with holiday decorations, had a festive air, and everyone watched eagerly to see who would get the contents of the huge Christmas package in the center of the gym. The dance was proclaimed a huge success by all who attended it. Then came the triumph of the year, the Senior Play. This year, Miss Tobey wrote the play, as well as produced and directed it. The play, a three-act comedy entitled With Hamlet Left Out had the audience rolling in the aisles as scenery fell over and boys pranced in odd-looking Shakespearean costumes. It was a great triumph for Miss Tobey and the Senior Class. This year, on May 15, the class of 1943 gave a Senior banquet, a private affair attended by Seniors and their guests. This banquet, held at the Baron Steuben, and the dance that followed, provided a great deal of fun and entertainment for all who went. It was given in lieu of the trip which the Seniors usually take on Class Day. Too, the Spring Dance was held on May 8 by the Seniors. A large crowd filled the gym, which was beautifully decorated with artificial flowers, the theme, a combination of May Day and a flower garden. The Senior Class has had an unusual year, for many boys left for the armed services, and the class was separated very quickly. Still, there will always be the memories of the good times and friendships of the last and best year for the Class of 1943. page eighteen
