They were Joined later by Bob Walker and Molly Earle. These nine people formed the nucleus of the present graduating class. After a year of throwing blocks, pushing fish bowls out of windows and sliding down bannisters, they left for the first grade. First grade saw the arrival of Roy Baldwin, our president. Between the time we spent throwing erasers and drawing pictures of our friends on the sidewalk, we learned enough to leave Mrs. Clark and progress to second grade. Miss Cobleigh, now Mrs. McMahoh, greeted the Class of '44 and the newly added Fred Barnes. When not staying in after school, we were fighting over the swings, falling out of the maple tree, or else knocking down chestnuts by Doremus's. We moved on. Third grade with Miss Duer was a gay one as Mickey McMahon Joined us. We learned how to improve our reading, writing and spelling and watched with saucer-like eyes and gaping mouths as Worley tried his first fling at romance. Miss Van Iderstein, the late Mrs. Stabler, took over the gang as they went to the fourth grade with the newly gained Sue Bally and Fanny Prosser. While Issy Ingalls and Bill were learning what the back of a piano looked like. Bob was learning to respect Baldy’s right Jab. Feeling that four years were enough in the Baby School, we moved to the yellow Building. We entered fifth grade under Miss Palmer, now Mrs. Scheidell. We stayed long enough to get acquainted with Pop Britton and Coach Gustafson; then we were off again. With sixth grade came Miss Wagner, Walter Damrosch and Rudyard Kipling, three characters we shall never forget. After going to New York twice and getting so that we could perfectly imitate the Boston voice of the newly arrived Mr. Reardon, we finished the first half of our career in the public schools of Goshen. At last it came--Seventh Grade—and with it came Loretta Meduskl, Frances Mahoney, Linnie Miller, Maude Morley, Irene Myruski, Bob sarine, Ted Soons, Mary Swanwick, Ruth Seekamp, Betty Sitzer, Jane Clayton, Doris Coleman, Russell Creeden, Mary Hoffman, Walter Malanowski and Margaret Legge. Our faculty that year was Mrs. Huber, Mr. Britton, Mr. Gray, Mr. Pritchard, Miss Wheaton, Mr. Slone, Miss English, Miss Howard, Coach Gustafson, Mr. Reardon and Mr. Messina. It was a happy year as Mrs. Huber went about the business of checking up on Ronnie and Mary, as the girls learned that snakes could get out of solid glass terrariums, and as Bill took care of Edgar the Opossum in General Science class. Three guesses where the name came from! Eighth grade brought Bob Rakov, Dorothy Lane, Charley Keller and Shirley Martin to the class. Faculty members new to us were Mr. Martin and Miss Houghton. Peeking into the Masonic Temple in 1939 or '40, one 2 SENIOR SEQUENC E—C LASS OF 1944 would find paint flying, mice running, and about forty students supposedly learning to appreciate the arts. Four years having been spent in the Yellow Building, the class of 1944 moved to the New School as Freshmen, where members met Mim Knob, Lois Sacher, Tony Vuolo, Anna House and Jean Bonauto. High School faculty members new to us were Mr. Campaigne, Mrs. Williamson, Mr. McGinnis, Miss Waite, Miss Clement, Mr. Krepick and Mr. Riggs. We also became acquainted with Mr. Sinclair and Miss Pope. Before passing to our Sophomore year we had learned where Mr. Hooker's new office was, how to get in and out of the dome, and that the pencil machine took only nickels. In our Sophomore year we received Gordon Parker, Marie Springer and Eleanor Frey. New faculty members during that year were Mr. G. G. Sprague, Miss Cruikshank, Mr. Olson, Mr. Lockwood and Coach Tichnor. With beaming faces, soapy (thanks totheSeniors of '42) and a mischievous initiative, we passed on to become Jolly Juniors. The only new member in our Junior year was Enid Bailey. New faculty members were Miss Stratton, Miss DuBois (now Mrs. McMann) , Mr. McKee and Miss Drachler. Our class officers were: Bill Swanwick....................President Phil Pines.................Vice President Maude Morley.....................Secretary Irene McMahon....................Treasurer The year was spent in 10$ work and 90$ fun; that is, 90$ of the time was spent in outdoing the Seniors of'43. That year we lost Fred Barnes, Isabelle Ingalls and Worley Wahl; so Carl Johnson (Custodian) was made an unofficial member of the Class of '44. With our Senior year came Howard Ronk, John Smith, and Harry Mabee;all of whom, plusWalter Malanowski and James Parliman, left before the end of the year. New faculty members were Mrs. MacEachern, Miss Bloomer and our eternal friend. Coach Charles Howland. Senior Class officers were: Roy Baldwin......................President Tony Vuolo.................Vice President Sue Bally........................Secretary Irene McMahon....................Treasurer During our last year in school we lost Jim Parliman, Howard Ronk, Harry Mabee, Walter Malanowski and John Smith. The below named are a few of the people who were with us for a time but, due to the ways of Fate, are not with us to graduate: Betty Miller Joan Carroll Karl Kohn Richard Knapp Carole Baldwin Sophie Dombroski Pat Binch Richard Space Betty Van Sickle Irene Jones Archie Carroll Bill Seekamp Irv Ostrander Jean Barnes John Edwards Richard Traverse Helen Orzechowski Mary Alice Dill Kenneth Beebe John Bruen Esther Davis Dolores Hartenstine James Smith Julius Maleck 3 SENIOR SEQUENC E—C LASS OF 1944 Muriel Mills Dorothy Rlchner Joe Sullivan Norman Swartz Fred Barnes Fred Vavrlcka Twelve of these people are In the armed forces of the United States. We, the Class of '44, are most proud of Fred Barnes, who was wounded In action with the American Infantry in Italy. Through twelve years of work and play we have come to be the glorious Class of '44. We are proud of our scholastic, athletic and social record and hope to be an example for those who follow. Long live the Class of '44! A PORPLB HBART IN THE CLASS OF '4 4 T HE WAR seems very far from us at home in these times, and no one would ever think that it could possibly come into our lives, or the lives of our friends. Yet war came quickly to our former classmate, Fred Barnes, who, in the earlier part of this year, received the Order of The Purple Heart for a wound suffered in action in the service of his country on the battle front in Italy. During the month of February, 1943, Frederick Barnes received a 1-A classification, and was taken into the United States Army through the Goshen Selective Service Board. At that time he was a member of the Class of 1944, and had a part in the many activities of the school. He reported for his Army training, and was sent to Mississippi to an Infantry unit where he spent a few months in intensive drill.In his words, we marched, marched and marched. On his first furlough, however, he came back to Goshen saturated with the South. Soon after his furlough had ended Fred went across to North Africa, whence he went on to Italy and battle. He was wounded in the Battle of Cassino, picked up and sent with other casualties back to a base hospital in Africa. Barnes expects to rest there for some time yet. In a recent letter home he said he would be greatly pleased to hear from the classmates of 1944. 4 SENIOR SEQUENC E--C LASS OF 1944 PERSONALITIES ENID BAILEY: Nikki A poor Beauty finds more Lovers than husbands.

To Mr. Sinclair we've all been A lot of work—he's growing thin. Because of this it looks as though. For rest, he’s forced to seek Monroe. In Math we'Ye had our little spree While coaxed along by L.
