CEM embm Of The TSEWZCVI The Class of 1950, fifty-one strong, entered upon its high school career with a stormy class meeting in September of l9L6, at which Mrs. Duffy prophesied that the class would amount to little if it didn't change its ways. Obviously, history has proved her wrong! The novices of l9L6 found themselves in a strange new world where someone was always scolding them for being in the wrong room. The year was enliven d by a rousing Hvicu dance, whose profits crowded one dollar. After this new high in low profit, it was decided that this was the uvicn dance to end all Uvicn dances. A 5 In the sophomore year the class was beginning to make itself heard, some of its members have not shut up yet. Sports, music, and sitting in the office were activities in which sophomores became outstanding, A turkey raffle was the main money-making project of the year, it was not exactly a riotous success. As juniors, the class started preparations for their role as seniors. Juniors participated in the-sen- ior play, helped on the yearbook, and sold cards and hot dogs. The Junior Prom was ruled over by Jack Stuck and Anne Wirth. On a visit to the New York State Freedom Train we learned about slavery from Mrs. Cook and Mrs. Duffy, who strong-armed the class by sheer lung power. After three years of toil and struggle, the triumphant Class of 1950 entered its final year at L.C.S., forty-seven strong. Plans were made to earn fabulous sums for a trip to Washington. A highly successful magazine campaign was conducted, topping last year's record. Further designs upon the public purse were in the form of bake sales and the sale of refreshments at the school fair and at games. One of the year's most enjoyable events was the senior play where erasers flew thick as flies and the seniors furthered their wicked reputation. However, the play was a success, despite repeated tremblings of the scenery and stumblings of the cast, who never seemed eager to break up their visits with Nmothern out- side. One was particularly attentive to her mother, who turned out to have a crew cut and drive a shiny convertible. The Senior Ball proved less raucous, but highly profitable, The members of Ken Myer's band chose Alice Wirth and Milt Wadsworth for king and queen. After midyears, it became apparent to seniors that they were not overloaded withfgreenbacks, and Hamil- ton, Jackson, and Lincoln became more than names missed on a history test. So the seniors set out further to deplete the pocketbooks of Wolcott by a dinner, circus, and picture sale. - Broken dishes, slippery floors, and crumby seniors mark d the money-making Rotary dinner. Next was Cole's Circus, at which the seniors could be distinguished from the animals only because they were taking tickets at the door. Time and space do not permit mentioning the sale of Christmas cards and stationery, and our dying gasp as photo sellers. Despite their efforts to make money, the Never to be forgotten are Mr. Terry's terror- izing tales to nicotine addicts, hr. Crouse's warnings to the wayward senior who whistled at a cheerleader in shorts, or Mrs. Baker's fran- tic yelps when deluged by seniors' questions. These are the things we remember. Yet to come are the senior trip, class night, and graduation. And we somehow feel that,, in the customary tradition of our class, these, also will be loused up. I-20 TAMEN A seniors took in a vast store of moral advice.

The cast included lovers, evangelists, a gangster, a money-mad landlady, and an F.B.I. man. The play revolves around a fortune of gold. At the last curtain, the entire ac- tion turns out to be a program of the radio station. Both audience and cast enjoyed this play, and the receipts carried the seniors a few more miles toward Washington.
