Our first big project of the year was the purchase of our class rings which received the day before Christmas vacation. For the first time our class went to an outside event the play Tea and Sympathy. Our class treasury was increased by the selling of pop and candy during the home basketball games. After the Christmas vacation the busiest part of t.he year began. First came WHEC S junior Town Meeting of the Air. The junior play, which was a big success followed this closely. Then there was the climax of the school year. April 13th marked our junior Prom and the crowning of our regal king and queen chosen by the student body. The year drew to a close with th e serving of breakfast to the seniors and the responsibility of being in charge of graduation . We are looking forward to our Senior year and its activities with anticipation 40 PEOPLE ARE UNNJ7 . 4,5 y -, -- , W . V 1 ' - Y g L v F X.

W decorated the gym in true autumn colors: brown orange and yellow or our theme Autumn Leaves. Frankie Earle and his orchestra added the fin- ishing touch for an enjoyable evening. Basketball season found us well represented both on the team and the cheer- leading squads. With eight boys on the J V team and with four girls to cheer them on we did our share in the field of sports. Many members of the class participated in activities such as Newspaper Club Political Club Chorus and Library Club. Late in November a group of sophomores helped Mr. Loughhead and one of his classes with a skit for Thanksgiving. The skit was different from any others in that the dialogue had been previously tape-recorded. Then in March our first play! In spite of the usual stage fright our one- act comedy under the capable guidance of Mr. Lester proved to be a real success. We felt like professionals and eagerly await the next year s pro- duction. Our last duty as a class was a series of skits presented on Class Day. We enjoyed amusing the rest of the high school in our last activity as a class. Our success this year is of course due to the advice and assistance of our two class advisors, Mrs. Schlemmer and Mr. Steidle and to them our most sincere thanks. 41 8 P ford Prince Davidson Conlin 6th row Donavan Gates Beardsley Gosnell Boothby Relthel Beehler King Hamlin G Barker 1' i THE N2 PBCI' Ptesident. . . . .RobertBlair . . 7 , f e aa Y , , Y ' I L , L A xx: 3 THE LIN DIP -12 lst row Horsrngton Ophardt Hunn Iwadsworth Brodte Albano Wake Adams Barnhart McMann Fallon 2nd row Mrs Crosby Hendershot Unterborn Grtffm Seabry D Smrth Hamngton Palmer Davrs McCarroll Hemmenck Mr Strong 3rd row Manvrlle Kerber Gardner Mogle Chase Whne Jorgensen Marra Webber Guerrnot Aldred Rabjohns Haslrp Coe 4th row Mrlborrow Taylor Mrller Whxtmore Wood Haynes Gable Davls Fuller Grll Rowley Studrer Llss 5th row Shetler Dreckman l-larbm Schepler Castle P Wadsworth Turpyn Cullen Smith Sager Mrkel Owen Marx Meyer 6th row Morrrll Laxsney Memtt Gates Forbes Burntt Wxllrams Vanderhoff Carroll Collamer Anderson S Smtth Almeter Welch Armstrong Ludwxg VanDorn Bowen Presrdent Robert Forbes VICE Presrdent Garl Armstrong Secretary Kathleen Welch Student Councrl justme Hemmer1ck Morrow Gable Nancy Taylor HIS year we found ourselves rn a lrttle drfferent surroundmgs Seruor Hrgh It was a new expeuence w1th more responsrbrlrty There were several new subjects besrdes the ones w1th whrch we were fa m1l1ar These rncluded mechamcal drawmg, busrness Latm algebra and a few others also The Freshman class partrclpated rn such actlvrues as Hobby Club Grrls Nrght Newspaper Chorus, Audro Vlsual Club Lrbrary Club, and the Scxence Club Also several members of the class belonged to the school band Two Freshmen grrls were chosen for places on the juruor Varsrty Cheerleadmg Squad A number of the boys were on the soccer and basketball teams At Chnstmas trme we took over the decoratron of the school wrth the gen eral theme of Chnstmas rn Amerrca The cafeteria was decorated w1th two trees and mobrles The library and mam entrances were pamted wrth famrlrar scenes and symbols of Chrrstmas Our chorus also Jomed rn w1th the other choruses rn an annual Chrrstmas program entrtled Chrrstmas Everywhere Class Day and the Freshman dance whrch we all looked forward to, hrgh lrghted our year rn Senror Hlgh We smcerely thank Mrs Crosby and Mr Strong for therr helpful gurdance m our ftrst year of hrgh school 42 4 KY ab lllllw, llll X1ll y Treasurer: NormanCoe X 1 .

Our next project was a baked food sale during the lunch hour on February 3rd to raise money for our dance, which we sponsored at the end of February. The group went skating at the Brockport Roller Rink, and swimming at the Natatorium in Rochester. We went ice skating on Cranberry Pond, and in june we went to Hamlin Beach State Park for a picnic.
