THE PURPLE AND GOLD CdlaSS Jdistory ( continued ) On Thursday, May 8th, we had a friendly get-together, and an eve- ning of fun down at the Snyders. Mrs. Snyder showed us the movies she had taken of our senior trip. Melvin Townsend, past president, presented Barbara Kelly and Newell Stewart with gifts in token of our appreciation for the splendid work that they did in our play. We would like to take this opportunity to express our appreciation for the help Miss Cross gave us as our faculty adviser for our first three years. She helped to make our Junior Prom the success it was. We greatly appreciate the labor of Mr. Snyder as our faculty adviser in our Senior year. We are very grateful for the wonderful time that Mr. and Mrs. Snyder gave us on our Senior trip.

THE PURPLE AND GOLD Cdiaii JJ-iitonj continued We then came to our Senior year. We had twelve members, having lost Maurice Reynolds and John Hand, but gaining Betty hristie and Ola Woodcock. We elected the following officers: President, Melvin Townsend; Vice President, Ola Woodcock; Secretary, Ilene Mayhew; Treasurer, Betty Christie. Student Council representatives were Ola Woodcock and Paul Wood. We selected our graduation cards. Early in the Fall we conducted a magazine sale and went way over our gcal. Our first main activity was a dance on October 4th. Another dance was held October 27th. On the afternoon of November 27th we divided into groups, and made a drive to sell Christmas cards and assorted cards. February 12th we held a penny supper and auction. We cleared about $176.00 on these two activities. During the winter several dances were held after basketball games. Our last big drive for money was the producing of a play, “Mr. Cook Takes Over”. Mr. Snyder, our class adviser, directed the play, and a gift was presented to him for his efforts. The cast was as follows: Mr. Cook, Bobby Forsythe; Mrs. Cook, Betty McMartin; Ralph (the 14 year old sen), Newell Stewart; Thelma (the oldest daughter), Betty Christie; Gladys (the younger daughter), Barbara Kelly; Donald Cook, Carl Poor; Bessie Cook, Carmen Smithers; Bob Dennison, Melvin Townsend; Bill Hartley, Arthur Bullock; Miss McNab, Ida Finley; Mrs. Kelland, Ola Woodcock; Ned Kelland (her son), Paul Wood; Mr. Morgan, Howard Snyder. We presented this to a very large crowd at Heuvelton, and this boosted our fund for our trip. The next night we presented it in Lisbon, clearing about $190.00 from the two performances. On April 3rd we left for New York and Washington. This was the reward for all our hard work. We left Thursday morning and returned on Friday the eleventh. Everyone had the best time of their life, even though we were slightly tired when we arrived home. The Senior Class had the misfortune to lose our able president, Melvin Townsend. Ola Woodcock took the job for the remainder of the year. We missed the cheerfulness of Melvin and Bobby Forsythe on our Senior trip. 9
