High School was upon us and we had lost four members, Burton Smith, Evelyn Denton, Edgar Jaquish and Paul Gelina. Burton and Edgar have joined the Armed Forces and Paul is a high school Sen- ior in Williamson, New York. Kathleen McCourt rejoined us at the end of the year, returning from Florida, Dorothy Borden joined us briefly during our sophomore year and Shirley Mitchell was a membber of the class throughout the year. After leaving for a few months, Dorothy Borden again joined our class as a Junior, leaving shortly afterward. Shirley left us to join the WACS and Sharon to get married. Sharon is now living in Saratoga Springs. Now, much reduced from the large first grade, the bombshells of '39 and 'A0 have become the class of '57; Lorraine, Carolyn, Malcolm, Kathleen, Ronnie, Martha and Hope. What will next year bring? Hope and Katie are planning to enter Albany State in September. Carolyn will attend the College of Saint Rose in Albany and Lorraine A. T. I. at Canton, New York. Martha is planning to enter nursing at P. S. T. C. and Malcolm and Ronnie are still undecided about their future training.
