Gfass Jfistory In September 1960, twenty-two energetic students entered Hammond Central School as Freshmen. Our class-officers were: President, Earl Dillon; vice-president, Fred Paddock; secretary, Sally Decker; and treasurer, Darlene Martin. Our advisor was Mrs. Margaret Spies, and our Student Senate representative was Paul Langtry. Realizing that graduation was our ultimate goal, we all set our sights toward this end. Our first project was a kickoff dance, which started the ball rolling toward our second goal, our senior trip. In our Sophomore year we lost June Marsaw, Christy Wells, and Sheila Ayen while we gained Ronnie Neuroth leaving us with twenty students. Our class offi- cers were elected: President, Fred Paddock; vice-president, Earl Dillon; secretary, Judy Atkins; and treasurer, Lee Shoulette. Our Student Senate representative was Nancy Maloy and our advisor this year was Mrs. Helen Campbell. We had as our money making activities: Selling magazines, candy, and sponsoring three dances. Our Junior year began with sixteen members because of the loss of Jackie Perry, Scott Biondi, Bob Leonard, Douglas Ayen, and Ronnie Neuroth; we gained Janet Salisbury. Our class officers were: President, Earl Dillon; vice-president. Sterling Cutway; secretary, Sally Decker; and treasurer, Lee Shoulette. Student Senate representatives this year were Judy Atkins and Jim Snell. Our advisor was again Mrs. Helen Campbell. As money making projects we sponsored the Junior Prom with South Pacific as the theme. As we joyfully entered our senior year at Hammond Central School our class consisted of nineteen members with the addition of Mayfred Bogart, Douglas Ayen and Ann Moffat. Our class officers were elected: President, Sterling Cutway; vice- president, Jim Snell; secretary, Ann Moffat; and treasurer, Lee Shoulette. We plan to have many money making projects including a senior play. The proceeds from this and our other endeavors will help toward senior trip expenses. In the complex social structures which make up our American way of life, the chief agency in perpetuating this is the public school. As seniors, we look back with gratitude, thanks and appreciation to all who endeavored to teach and pre- pare us for this way of life. No one idea can begin and end at any definite period. Therefore Hammond Central School doors will close on us as we prepare to travel down new and broadening avenues-----------the continuance of education and the en- trance into adulthood.
