Seventh grade saw us upstairs at last! Mrs. Woodcock was our homeroom teacher and it took us no time at all to make ourselves right at home. Little Marie Zottola came to us from Bedford Hills and soon after came Bob Loveling, also from Bedford. Bernice Jones ioined our ranks that year too. Eighth grade brought us to the last step before high school. Mr. Myers was our homeroom teacher. Our only new member was Pat Hall, but she made up for quite a few! We inaugurated our School Court system whereby we had monitors on duty and an active iudge and council to decide the fates of offenders. Pat Hall was our first iudge and we found our Student Council program very effective. Freshmen! We found our class overflowing into the halls as there were so many of us. From Pound Ridge came brilliant Jewel Bode, demure Audrey Bouton, sports-loving Pat Marshall, shy Bob Scofield, giggly Audrey Scofield, and Anita Smith. From South Salem, our debater Howland Adams arrived. With him came Dot Bautz, Tony Fasolino, Mary Lowney, Barb Madsen, Alton Moore, and Don Taylor. Quiet Victor Gnos from Long Island joined us this year too. Miss Callenius and Miss Stroppel were assigned to our homerooms. We still wonder about who was the luckiest. We elected Bob Gilbert our Freshman class president. Q lr ,QM 12

Class History It all began in September, 1936, at the old school on Bedford Road. Among the bright, eager faces in the first grade were Allan Andersen and Lloyd Beacom busily engaged in throwing lead soldiers. Beaming Bruce Thomas and little Charlie Fowler sat quietly in their seats, the model stu- dents. Ernest Dorton and Alice Southworth were there too as Miss Wiles brought the class to order. In second grade, pretty Jean Bennett ioined the class, as Mrs. Hasseltine tried to still the uproar. Sam Hilbert also walked in and sat down. Third grade brought no new additions, more work and Miss Bingham showing us how to write. 'Lg A 7 I K -.me F., ' E. Ah! We remember fourth grade well. It was here that Monsieur Norton made his illustrious entrance. Blonde Astrid and shy Gunhild Wallgren entered our grade as did Doris Brown. Mrs. Virtuoso will long be remembered for her patient ways with our class. ln the fifth grade we found ourselves in the new school. Along with this change came a not-so-big lrl Brown and petite Jo DeCunzo. Miss Osborne was our teacher. ln Mrs. Schuler's sixth grade we really had a lot of new members. From Goldenls Bridge came Doris Lynn, Jackie Seymour, Viola and Louise Tocci, and Aldo Cosentino. Bob Gilbert and Charlotte Zarges completed the picture. 'll

Our Sophomore year saw five truly 'important new arrivals. Fun-loving Dot Anderson and pretty Patty Braden arrived first. Paul Brouard, Louise Morehouse and Dick Sears came soon after. Pat Braden became our class president during our Sophomore year. In September, 1946, we at last became Juniors, and only one step away from our last year. We elected Paul Brouard president of the class. He left us in April and Bud Adams took over. Both fellows did a grand iob. We outdid ourselves on our Junior Prom. We had a magic wishing well, a bower of fragrant flowers and a theme in general that made you sit up and take notice. Mary Lowney was our Prom Queen. We had two quiz contests with the Seniors and we invariably came out the winner! Sam Hilbert decided to return to K.H.S. and Alice Southworth ioined us again too. Two handsome men, namely Dick Herz and Dick Eddy, ioined us along with blonde Barbara Shear. 'I3
