Wallbrldge, 4 Miss Bentley, Adviser under the able leadership of Ben Carroll, the Student Council again func- tioned as the central lorganization of the school. This year the council spon- sored a drive to collect waste paper, which not only brought in 29,000 lbs. of paper, but also added to the council treasury. They also conducted a cheating survey and launched a campaign for keeping the cafeteria clean. Besides sponsoring the above activities, the council organized a students' day,put on a quiz program consisting entirely of Student Council members and de- vised a new plan for electing students to the Sportsmanship Brotherhood, as well as providing them with pins. All undertakings of the council were successful because of the fine coop- eration between the student body and the faculty. Q 7

AS S HISTDRY The Class of n44n was the last class to hold forth in the kinder- garten rooms of the old school on Genesee Street. Ruthie Konvicka, Jimmy Kinsella, Doris Rounds, Roger Hoag, and Dorothy Gridley were the only students in this class to profit by its convenient location. No new members came in the-first grade. But something new and exciting happened. We were in the first first grade in the first grade rooms of the new school. f Pat McNally, the blonde bombshell from Chicago, and Rosie Grevel- ding, one of our ambitious farmerettes, joined our midst in the second grade. In the third grade our valedictorian, Richard Lamprecht, came to start studying his three R's. Bill Hanbidge and Doris Shoemaker came to F. H. S. in the fifth grade. The former turned his thoughts toward aviation while the latter endowed upon acting. Our class really increased in the sixth grade. Wayne Purtell, Eunice Nash and Frances Gruppe joined us. Wayne was that cute lad from Woodchuck Hill that turned out to be our class president. Eunice is the gal who draws those darling pictures of girls. Francie came from our neighboring town of Utica to round out our number. The seventh grade was an exceptional year. We started junior high school and had our first taste of changing classes and men teach- ers. Doris Eddy came in from B ffalo this year. It was so sudden. Marmie Kelley, the mad woman driver, and Ernie Beebe, the great artist of the drama, also joined us. ' , . Helen Ann Meagher, one of the most prominent members of our class, was the only member to join us during our last year in junior high school. Our first year of high school brought a really bang-up class. DeWitt and Kirkville sent in half of its student population. They were: Roger Cross, Bob Lund, Cliff Seagfrid, Don Wallbridge, Claire Alberts, Nola Hoag, Betty Hill, Phyllis Keville, Millicent Kish, Nancy Marrian, Karlsen McClellan, Beulah Raynore, Nan Tiffany and J. B. Carroll. Also many of our superiors dropped back to join us. They were: Roland Gage, Art Trinder, Wm. Goebell, Sonny Proper and Ed Hunt. As Sophomores we welcomed Hal Birks from Elmwood who, inciden- tally, is a very good comediang Peg Norris from Seattle,Washington 3 Sammy Toth from Nottingham and Bob Sims, the journalist of our class, from Eastwoodg Dick Lindenmayer, our favorite cheerleader, from the big town of Manlius Center. During the eleventh year we were joined by Barbara Martin from Fulton and Lorine Nodecker, another Nottingham-ite. Alas! We are Seniors. We rule the roost! Well, at least we try to convince ourselves of this. There we find a boy who worked so hard- that he caught up to us after he had started a year later than we did. This was that curly-headed little boy, Benny Coughlin. Philip Fulton, who showed much ability on the basketball court, came from the very northern part of the state. - Our four final years spent in Fayetteville High School will never be forgotten. We've done so many things and had so much fun! Each year we have given a successful class dance, and occasionally a party There was a picnic we enjoyed as Freshmen, and a skating party as Sophomores also. , y We appreciate the toil and trouble that Mr. Saunders, our class adviser, encountered through these four great years.
