HISTUHU Way back in 44 Our freshmen year that ls You might have thought we were a bore But we were full of vim and vis, We had an ice cream social And a party for the sophs Our assembly was most boastful But our dance was just the tops. We owe all our success this year To our president Richard Schwenz. But not without McCormick, so dear Did the money start rolling in. And then agaln in 45 Our Sophomore year we had You begin to see we were alive But gosh, lt wasn't half bad. One dance we had with mistletoe And a couple others too. Our chicken supper wasn't slow You ate till you were blue. Now Joany was our leader And Terpy was our vlce. Mary Flynn was our letter reader And Hartzie our treasurice. Last year in 46 just Juniors we were then. We had our Treasury to fix And we certainly had the men. With suppers once and suppers twice. And suppers even more. We might as well have shook the dice Cause we got money galore. On April fifth we got our rings In June we had our Prom. We even had some girls that sing Where dld they come from? Well, here we are. It's 47 And seniors we are now We worked like the great eleven With sweat upon our brow. We had dances, suppers, sales and all And our senior play we had. 'Cause Katty P. was on the ball And Iulia wasn't bad. On March 31, we went away To Washington I guess And we have not got much to say 'Cause we came back like all the restg Now this concludes our history But there's a little more to tell Miss McCormick was a mystery But she sponsored very well. Without her careful guidance And her very gentle hand. Our class would be on a fence And we'd been worth less than a grain of sa.nd. Mack, we want to thank you With all our loving heart. And we certainly all are blue . 'Cause now we have to part. Ray McElroy Iulla Early 21

CLHSS PRUPHEUU It is in the year of our Lord 1957 -- the class of '47 from Deposit Central School has gath- ered together in Hotel Ebbitt for a long awaited reunion. The president KATE PARRIS, is in charge -- she is a career woman and housewife com- bined. As we look a little closer, we see the prominent American Engineer, DICK SCHEWNZ fVice-President in '4'7J with some of his pals, CARL TERPENNING, who is now Vice-Presi- dent of United Airlines, RICHARD THOMAS, the basketball hero, who arrived from an exhibi- tion in Madison Square Garden about ten minutes ago and the two contemporaries HERB SMITH and BOB BRIGGS who have taken the place of Abbott and Costello on the screen. Enough for the boys at present. We come across a very attractive model -- and a Powers one no less -- JOAN TAYLOR. She is greeting one of her old companions Dr. DIANE STEVEN SON LLOYD, another career woman and housewife combined, to finish this lovely sonata BET- TY DENYS our woman's champion of the basketball court, and her life-long friend, BETTY DAILEY MILLER, our class artist, are holding up their end of the conversation. All ready to take down notes are the two loyal secretaries of the class -- MADELINE SCHRIVER WEIRS fwith her ever-winning smilej and lovely JULIA EARLY CU, she refuses to disclose her mar- ried name, who by her ever increasing work is now takin Tootie's place in the school office- -lucky girl!! Oh yes, and heading toward the girls' side giaturallyj are CECIL BRAZIE, of Brazie's Moving and Express Company of Deposit, AUDREY HARTZ of Hartz's Hardware, falways in the limelight tool and bless my bunny slippers if it isn't JOYCE SMITH BLANK, Igght down flrsm the lake where she was taking a vacation. She is Editor of the Binghamton ress, you ow. Ah, yes, now the late arrivals include not one but two replicas of Einstein-- ELSA and MARY BODE. Still as sophisticated as ever, I see, and who s that man that is helping Mary with her luggage? Well, GEORGE PALMER, all six feet of you. Ladies and Gentlemen the backbone of the nation our farmer . Whoops lest I slight another lad of the rurals -- LEON SMITH. Where is that heavy cream you promised for the banquet, you have quite a bit at your big dairy, I hear. Next comes Congressman from the 3rd District, DARWIN WHITEHEAD -- just as handsome as ever, oh that blonde curly hair. Why, BERKELEY BRIGGS, are you home from Cornell where you are teaching fundamentals of farmwork. And your brother VIRGIL with his eyes roving toward you know who -- is holding up the farm back home. Here comes MRS. ROBERT DEGRAW CRUTH DAVIS to you J chatting away with our business master mind, JULIA DIBBLE. She is a prominent lawyer in Deposit now. Right behind them in the home- stretch is Beauty Mastermind JESSIE MOSHER from Mosher's Model Salon. And let's see, who is that woman with her? Why, I Believe it's Cheer Carson, ROSINA COLESANTO is her name off the stage -- our other actress HARRIET LEE is the pretty one there on the left. RAY and KEN MCELROY will be in shortly but for now Ray and Ken are giving a wrestling demonstration for the President at the White House. I'm sure you'll be duly impressed by our great opera tenor, DONALD YOUNGS who has just joined the good ole alma mater. Be- hind him is DON SCHRIVER, doesn't he .look handsome girls? He is now Secretary of State. DELORES WATTS, why are you sittin over there in that corner with that homesick look? Could it be you left hubby behind and are worried? Yes sir, our perfect little housewife. And VERNA FERGUSON, they tell me you've made quite a name for yourself on the basket- ball court too -- Oh dear me, don't let s leave HELEN STRONG VAUGHN -- manager of the State Theatre out. Why, MARGARET, the little MEEK girl with the glamorous smile. Glad you could leave that famous dairy to attend. We mustn't leave out our one and only foreign diplomat, LEAL' PERRY, who'd have believed it? Oh dear me, how could I be so careless as to omit our one and only feature attraction from Barnum and BRUNDEGE -- the great strong telephone man, RED.. Yes sir, Let the DRUMMS Roll Out at least let PEARL who is a real pearl walk out. We're sorry she couldn't bring some of her modernized atom e- quipment so she could give some of those ten minute Jiffy waves. Come on in, Pearl. Wait, wait, hold the curtain, fellows, could this ever be complete without our one and only adviser -- Oh here she is now, why MISS MC CORMICK, you don't look a day older. Dare I say you are still using the hammer and chisel on the commercial students of good old D. C. H. S. Well now that we're all assembled, let's give three cheers -- one for you- - one for you -- and one especially for you. Finis 20
