Senior Class History In the first year of our high school life, we organized under the leadership of Arthur Smith, president, Florence Vandiver, vice-president, Harriet Hoffman, sec- retary, and Lawrence Bickford, treasurer. As sophomores we accomplished a great deal in participating in athletics and school activities, and in gaining new and valued friendships. We chose as our class officers, Arthur Smith, president, assisted by Lillian Collins, vice-president, Marie Bailey, secretary, and Joseph Hurley, treasurer. In our third year we elected John Tipton as president, Constance Davis, vice- president, Jean McCanna, secretary, and Joseph Hurley, treasurer. We were the first class to hold a Junior party, which proved very successful. On Junior Day, a most important event for us, we all arrived dressed in red and white. Returning in September to start our “long-desired” senior year, we were led by Robert Antell, president, Lucille O’Hare, vice-president, Jean McCanna, secretary, and Don O’Neil, treasurer. In May our Senior Play, “The Ferguson Family,” was presented under the direction of Mr. Colgan. All who took part should be congratulated on their capable performance. Today, we are very near our goal and are celebrating Senior Day with an assembly, banquet, and dance. In another month or so it will be graduation time and we will be saying goodbye to “old E. F. A.” For whatever may happen to us in the future, we should be adequately prepared, after four years of supervision by the faculty of Elmira Free Academy.
