In September of 1959 the class of 1963 invaded the halls of Hammond Central School. During our Freshman year with Mr. Trerise as our advisor we earned money for our Senior trip by (.holding dances, and selling Christmas paper, ribbon, and candy. In this year we gained Ger- aldine Letizia, Marcia Walton, Ann Spies, Rene Beaudin, and Joan Roberts and lost John Hol- lister and Duane June. Our Sophomore class advisor was Mr. Richardson. In this year Cheryl Barney, Geraldine Letizia, Wayne Moquin, and Ronald Neourth, left us. Virginia Wainwright joined our forces. We -earned money that year by selling magazine subscriptions and holding dances. In our Junior year Mr. Richardson was again our advisor. In this year Kathie LaBarge and Leona Dunn left us while Frank Touron joined us.

last Hill anti CBstamtnt We, the 1963 Senior Class of Hammond Central School, do make this our first and last will as follows: To the faculty we leave our sincerest thanks for the outstanding interest you have shown toward us in the past years. To the Class of 1964 we will relinquish our honored position of the oldest class of juveniles in hopes they will be more able to fulfill the position than we have. To the Class of 1965 we leave our rash method of creating spur of the moment schemes, both worthy and inadequate. To the Class of 1966 we leave a worn faculty which should not be too hard on them in the next three years as we have them broken in. Karen Nelson leaves her position as head majorette to Christy Drake, a comrade from the town of Rossie. Louise Amyot leaves her quiet, studious traits to the one and only Barry Goodwin. Donna Ayen leaves her naturally, streaked hair to Vicki Morrison. Carolyn Faubert bequeaths her two left hunting boots to Jackie Petrie for an easy way to travel around the Rossie Hills. Lee Lavarnway wishes to leave his trusty catcher's mitt to Vernon Barney; furthermore, we the undersigned, believe he should relinquish his height to Jim Stretch Hunter. Elaine Hanson leaves her hectic position as Senior Class secretary to an unsuspecting under- classman; namely, Lee Shoulette. Bob Hollister leaves his car to Phil Hunter whom he is sure will always keep it on the road. Rosemary Pierce bequeaths her excellent knowledge of how to drive in the ditch to Pat McCormick. Gil Stevenson leaves his method of being allowed to skip school at noon to Wesley Jones. Rene Beaudin leaves his whistle, bell, and woodpecker to Gleasy. Tim Atkins finds it necessary, fitting and proper to leave his seat belts to one Paul Langtry because of Paul's big foot. Ron Neuroth leaves to Joe Farrell his ability to keep out of trouble in study hall by con- tinuously reading. Don Bickelhaupt bequeaths years of peace and quiet to Mrs. M. Spies as soon as he finishes his Math. 12 course. Joan Roberts has decided, upon request, to leave Rossie Hills to Mr. Robert Cook. Donna Langtry doesn't wish to bequeath any of her many talents so like a tree, just leaves. David Rogers reluctantly leaves his sideburns to Johnny Clasgen. Clista Baxter bestows her ability to go steady for four years to Joy Youngs. Marcia Walton leaves her pitching arm to Phil Lavarnway and her prize whistle to Judy Atkins. Ann Spies bequeaths her meager knowledge of the art of playing football to The Three Horsemen. Dolly Mallette leaves all the bruises she has received from schoolmates to be buried forever in our class history. Barbara Hollister leaves her love for money to a worthy soul, Carol McAvoy, who is not so greedy. Gary Bass bequeaths to Ned Cole his ability to charm all the out-of-town girls. Ginny Wainwright sadly leaves to Sally Decker one-half jar of black hair rinse. Brian Stewart leaves to Philip Hanson all his good ole summertime fun in Chippewa Bay. The foregoing instrument was in our presence, signed and sealed by the said Senior Class executives, at the end thereof, and by them published and declared as and for their first and last will, and at their request and in their presence and in the presence of one another we hereunto subscribe our names as attesting witnesses, at Hammond, New York, on December 14, 1962.
