The spaghetti supper which the class arranged for the public was an event never to be forgotten, especially with George Hurley washing dishes. In addition the class sold sun- shine cards. In September 1947, the class found themselves seniors in high school. They organized with Beatrice Bishop as presi- dent, George Hurleyas vice-president, JudithFuller as secre- tary and treasurer. Miss Bloomfield and Miss Holmes were elected class advisors. The class had $343.52 at the beginning of the senior year The class really had to work to raise enough to make $900 for the class trip. So to raise more money the class sold Christmas cards, two large orders of wrapping paper, sub- scriptions to magazines, Kadet cards and labels and several orders of stationery. On November 7, 1947 the senior class put on a three act farce “The Daffy Dills ”, along with a turkey raffle. Margaret Sullivan of Pleasant Valley won the turkey. Jeanette Todd completed her senior year in January by passing her Regents. As this goes to press, the class is planning the trip to New York City during the week of Easter, to which they have been looking forward to so long.

At Halloween, the sophomore class put on a mock wedding. George Brown was the bride and LaVerne Hosmer was the groom. The skit won first prize. The 'class had a surprise party for George Brown before he left. He was presented with a gift and some money. Fran- ces Rice also dropped out of the class at the end of the year. Arlene Sibley and Clifford Bullock joined the class. When Lemuel Chapin left, Violet Patience took his place as vice- president. To raise money besides class dues, the class sold tickets on a box of fudge. Mrs. Chan Goodberry won the candy and Judith Fuller got the prize for selling the most tickets. In 1946, the junior class was organized with Violet Patience as president, Joyce O’Neil as vice-president, Ermine Bevins as secretary, and Robert Perry as treasurer. Miss Bloom- field was elected class advisor. Early in the year the class ordered their rings. They could not decide which style they wanted, so the girls chose a square design and the boys got round designs. The rings came February 3rd 1947. It was indeed the biggest event of the year for the class except for the prom. The class put on a prom and lost money on the dance. Joe Calapari’s orchestra provided the music.

Senior Class Trip to New York City The senior class left Edwards 5:30 a.m., March 26th in four cars bound for Carthage. The cars were driven by Mr. Leonard Fuller, Mr. Neil Brown, Mr. George Hurley, and Mr. Lyle Hughes. Class members who went on the trip were; Bruce Brown, Richard Brown, Robert Perry, Lyle Bleau, Clarence Skeldon, George Hurley, Clarence Thompson, Stanley Zaluski, Kenneth Hughes, Virginia Lutz, Beatrice Bishop, Judy Fuller, Helen Cole, Phyllis Whitmarsh, Eleanor Morrissey, Dorothy Ald- ridge and Violet Patience. Violet Patience had been to Wash- ington and thus didn’t start on the trip with her classmates. She met the group at Grand Central Station. Miss Bloomfield was the chaperon. The train was on time and left about 7:30 a.m. Each per- son had a lunch which he was going to eat on the train. Miss Bloomfield had a box of fudge which was passed around the group. Even the conductor and brakeman helped themselves to a piece of candy. The train arrived in Utica at 9:45 a.m. The train for New York wasn’t supposed to leave until 11:48 a.m. so the class de- cided to eat in the station restaurant and save their lunches for supper.
