r-rASS HISTORY is happy, timid Freshmen, thirty-one of us started our high school career in September, 1914-6, We spent the year getting acclimated to our high school life and becoming acquainted with each other. The main social event of our first year was a gay Halloween party. In our Sophomore year, we started thinking of ways we could earn money to finance our Senior trip to Washington. Our money-making ventures began with a booth at the Annual Black and White Cattle Show. We had several parties during the year, and we all had a wonderful time. Our Junior year, we found lots of excitement and hard work. We received our beautiful rings - the first to have Heuvelton Central engraved on them. Next came the job of editing the Yearbook. We all scurried about getting ad- vertisements and compiling the book. When this was completed, plans were made for the highlight of our Junior year - The Junior Prom.. The Town Hall was beautifully decorated; our theme was Dancing Under the Stars . To the music of Bobby Butler1s orchestra, we danced the evening away. Fourteen of us at last became dignified Seniors. Now, we accelerated our efforts to raise money for the Senior Trip, We got off to a good start by hav- ing a booth at the town Labor Day celebration, be sold magazine subscriptions, Christmas cards and wrapping paper, candy and soda at basketball games. Two successful dances were held in October and December. In addition to all these projects, two suppers were held - one in December and the other in February. The auction and supper held in February netted us $200. We began practicing for our Senior play. Under the direction of Mrs. Edgar Kendee, we presented the hilarious comedy, A Date With Judy? on March l£ and l6. The proceeds from the play swelled our treasury by 1J255• Finally, the day of the long-awaited Senior Trip arrived. Full of eager- ness and anticipation, we boarded the train for Washington, D. C., April 6. In Washington we visited the Capitol buildings, the F. B. I. Headquarters, Arlington Cemetery, Bureau of Printing and Engraving, Mount Vernon, Museums, and other places of historical interest. The cherry blossoms were in full bloom and even more beautiful than we had dreamed. Next we spent three days in New York City and toured Chinatown, the Bowery, Statue of Liberty, R. C, A, Building and St. John the Divine Church. We arrived home quite happy, April IfJ We shall always remember our Senior trip with joyous memories. It nas been the most outstanding and memorable event in our lives thus far. We wish to thank Miss Jerrine Hutchinson and Mrs. Basil Terwilllger for their help during our suppers; Mrs. Edgar Sendee for directing our play; our class advisors. Miss Katherine Lawton and Mrs. Edwin Seaman for their aid throughout the year. We also acknowledge with sincere appreciation the help given our class by all the faculty members and the generosity of our parents and townspeople who supported our projects so whole-heartedly.
