aaa .Maiory The beginning of any class history dates back to the time when its members first began school. The only two in our class who have been permanent fixtures at Hartwick High School are John Tubbs and Carolyn Block who started in the first grade twelve years ago. Beverly Stevens also began school at Hartwick but on reaching the third grade he transferred to Cooperstown Central and did not return until the seventh grade. In the fourth grade they were joined by Larry Russell who had been attending Phoenix Mills District School until that time. Charles Rollins came to us from Hunter, New York in the eighth grade just in time to graduate with the class into High School. On humbly entering the ninth grade K as befits a freshmanj we were joined by Belle Wart who came from Christian Hill School. Under the able direction of Mr. Francis Duncombe our class officers were elected: President, Larry Sussell, Vice Presi- dent, Carolyn Block, Secretary, Margaret Krofft, Treasurer, Beverly Stevens. This year all together was one of peace and contentment - Cexcluding the Freshmen Initiation which almost caused the Class of '52 to be extinct.J We bravely bound up our wounded pride and passed the rest of the year in deep study. We entered our Sophomore year with more confidence and a much broader out- look on school life. Our advisor was Mr. Francis Duncombe and our slate of offi- cers was: President, Larry Russell, Vice President, Belle Watt, Secretary, Margaret Krofft, Treasurer, John Tubbs. This year, though very interesting, was for the most part uneventful. After a glorious summer we came back happy go-lucky juniors who had made up their minds not to study quite so hard. This year we began to think up money making projects under the able direction of our new advisor Miss Dorothy Ziegfeld. Dances were the main part of our moncy raising campaign and the highlight of the year was our junior Prom. This year Bill Grosslinger of Laurens Central School joined us and Bill's quick wit and humor did much to enliven the budding junior Class. Our officers this year were: President, Larry Russell, Vice President, Beverly Stevens, Secretary-Treasurer, Belle Watt. It was a wise and worldly-looking group of seniors that entered the halls of Hart- wick High the next year. Our number was only seven but they say that the best things come in small packages. Under the supervision of Miss Dorothy Ziegfeld we elected the following officers: President, Larry Russell, Vice President, Beverly Stevens, Secretary, Belle Watt, Treasurer, Charles Rollins. Some of our activities of the year were dances, selling candy, putting out the Oracle and the Hub, selling ads for the yearbook, selling magazines and holding a raffle. After our wonderful trip to New York we settled down again to study and now we have reached our goal High School Graduation. 16
