 mt In the Fall of 1944, an important event in the lives of some twenty-odd, eager Frosh took place. I don't recall the exaot number of headaches confronting the teachers during that glorious autumn. Beoause of a ruling made by a previous class, we were not allowed to have any social functions, but we paid our dues and dreamed of the day when we would occupy those memorable back seats. However, muoh to the amazement of the sophomores and ourselves, we were allowed to hold a joint box-sooial in the Orange Hall. The prooeeds profited each olass $3.05. During the next two years we studied hard. We lost aclaesmate here and there, and picked up another from the same plaoe, until our number had been reduced to less than twenty and more than fifteen. Our junior year holds many oherished memories. We baoame sophisticated when we got our rings. In February, we held a danoe and made $33.37. We were overjoyed. Then came the big nite '. On May 16th we held the annual Junior Prom and lost $.90. You should have seen our faces. For the rest of the year we didn't do muoh beoause we were suffering from our tragio loss. That brings us up to the fourth and last year. In the Fall of 1947, we took over the magazine drive, which was a big suooess. Our confidence restored, we ventured a little farther. But we soon lost that oonfidenoe, when we only broke even on a danoe. We then took over the picture distribution, and gained back some of our previous loss. After our funds were considerably reduced due to the Hallowe'en Hall, we de- cided we had better settle down to business. So we sold stationery and oaxds during November. In December, we sponsored a minstrel show — home talent from Antwerp. This was the first really profitable olass function of the year. Dur- ing the winter, our olass funds were slightly inoreased beoause of the sale of candy at basketball games by some of our more ambitious members. On February 23, which was a school holiday, we held our Penny Supper and Com- munity Auotion, and stared breathlessly at the profits ($140.00). Also, during that month, we sold everyday greeting cards, and that helped, too. Then, in March, under the able direction of Mr. Snyder, our olass adviser, we presented our three-act faroe, Take Your Medicine . We presented it twioe in Heuvelton, once at Hammond, and onoe at Lisbon. This was the last of our money-making act- ivities, and yielded us nearly $300.00 profit. On Thursday, March 25, we left on the Van Zile Tour for Albany, New York, Washington and points south. We stayed in Albany at the Wellington the first night. The next stop was Washington, where we amused ourselves for five days in the various places of interest. On Tuesday, we left for New York, which we visited for three days via the Snyder Tours. In Albany, we visited the museum on the fourth floor of the Education Build- ing, went to the top of the State Office Building, visited an historical museum across the street, and made a tour of the oapitol building. In Washington, we visited, among others, the following places of interest: The Oapitol, the Folger Art Gallery, the Smithsonian Institution, the Aircraft Building, Lee Mansion, Mount Vernon, the Lincoln Memorial, the Jefferson Memor- ial, the Washington Cathedral, the Washington Memorial, the Supreme Court Build- ing, where we saw the oourt in session, the F.B.I., the Bureau of Printing and Engraving, the Museum of Arts and Scienoes, the Franoisoan Monastery, the Zoo, the swimming pool in the Ambassador Hotel, and several bowling alleys. In New York, we went up in the Empire State Building; took the television tour in Rookefeller Center; visited the Statue of Liberty, Grant's Tomb, the Riverside Church, and Cathedral of St. John the Divine; ate in the Port Arthur Restaurant in Chinatown; went to the Museum of Science and Industry, and the Metropolitan Museum of Art; and saw Icetime and the Easter show at Radio City. Most of us saw an orohestra leader in person, and had an opportunity to ride the escalators in Many's. We all had a wonderful time, but we were glad to get home. We all wish to thank Howard and Nellie for the happy nine days we spent dur- ing the Easter vacation of 1948, and are looking forward to a grand get-togeth- er, with junior and sophomore play oast members as our guests, sometime before sohool is out. And that concludes the history of the Olass of 1948 to date. However, this brave little group of Heuveltonlans will continue to make history — you watch and seel (Signed
