It was learned through conversation that Carl Ripley, the great athlete of Richville Union School, had been graduated from St. Lawrence University and was now principal of the high school which he formerly attended. Phyllis Gore after finishing her course in the Albany Memor- ial Hospital, married a doctor, which was her one ambition. Fern Conklin, who went nursing with Phyllis, seemed to find that helping to run a gas station was much more fun than nurs- ing. Agnes Jones married her school-day sweet- heart, Leonard Gray. She always head a fondness for chickens, calves, and baby baa-baas. She is now caring for several who, as babies, boo-hooed. As you remember, Morris Jones was a great singer when he belonged to our senior class. But since he went away from us, he changed his course, and is now President of the United States. Frances Morrow, who went nursing but decided that she would rather be a farmer's wife, is now 6ne of the rulers of the world—according to the line which says the hand that rocks the cradle rules the world . Sarah Hardy is the same bashful young lady that she was in school. The class, noticing the beautiful diamond that she id wear- ing, wonders if she is going to be married. Flo- rence McIntyre, the president of the class of '37 has been working in the children's orphanage for a number of years, and is now in charge of it. Ellen Newvine, who finished her business course, is now singing over the radio. Henrietta Gore, who started to train for work in beauty culture but id now the wife of the principal of Richville Union School, seems to enjoy presiding over Richville society. Now, dear friends, you have met the class of '37 they are in '47. Here the class reunion ends, for if we linger any longer , sa.y the farmers in the crowd, we will not get home in time to milk the cows'.'?

15. Henrietta Gore leaves some of her excess pep to Daisie Simmons. 16. To Doris Blevins, Sarah Hardy leaves a small portion of her quietness. 17. To Mary Dodds the Class leaves every bit of left over energy so she may lead her class to earn money for a Senior Trip. With our last parting breath we do hereby constitute and appoint the Principal of the aforementioned school the sole executor of this last will and testament. In witness whereof, we sign THE CLASS OF 1937 CLASS PROPHECY In August, 19 7, the Richville Union School's Senior Class of 1937 was to have a get-to- gether at the old school. On a beautiful sun- shiny morning, members of the old class began to arrive. Those who lived near-by arrived early, and waited to greet their old school- mates from distant towns and cities. The lawn of the old school was filling up fast with those who wished to be reminded of their old school days» A fine class”, asserted gray-haired old Mr. Reynolds, as fine a class as the old school ever sent out. I was President of the Board of Education when they were graduated, end we were certainly proud of them. A few minutes later, the morning train pull- ed in end the remainder of the class arrived. The former members of the band joined in with the present members and played the old school marches and songs . A picnic dinner was enjoyed by all, and many old stories were recalled by the class of '37

CLASS HISTORY In September, in the year of our Lord nine- teen hundred and thirty three, there stepped for- ward into a period of advanced education a group of young adventure seeking boys and girls. Fresh from memories of what had been, and dreaming of what was to be, they boldly entered through the doors of Richville High School and eagerly climb- ed the stairs. Here was their first adventure.'

From this vantage point they again focused their attention on the future. Nobly victorious over the difficulties here encountered, they were rushed into the third epoch of their history-- Juniors.

Under the guidance of these three, Mr. Holland, Miss Mayo, and Phyllis, the Junior Class carried on successfully« Parties, games, concerts, din- ners—all were achievements of this fair class, During this year the Honor Club of Richville High School was formed, and to this organization whose members were the outstanding personalities of the school, many of the Junior Class belonged. Still their attention did not veer. The next year was to be the highest point in their school history. Again they turned their course to ad- vancement, and, in the following June, they were made Seniors. Reappearing the next September, confident, happy, willing, the Class set out for new aims.
