Class H Lstory When the happy carefree days of the summer of 1953 were over we entered high school as the Class of 1957 We were excited and proud to be freshmen and although we dreaded 1IllI13 tion we took rt all in stride We were assigned to Room 204 which we have come to think of as our home away from home Our class which then numbered forty one chose as its presi dent Joan Davis and for vice president Richard Romolo Mrs Smith had been assigned as our advisor and homeroom teacher As our Halloween concession we chose the Fish Pond The proceeds of this first venture were the first deposits in our treasury We participated in band choir sports and clubs I May of 1954 we tried our wings in a one act play The Little Red Schoolhouse We had great fun preparing for this Can we ever forget Vinnie Augustine who made us laugh until we cried? Our freshman year ended with a delightful picnic at Edgewood Inn We retumed tn September as sophomores to be again greeted by Mrs Smith our advisor We elected Joan Davis as president and Richard Romolo as vice president This year we numbered thirty five Again the Fish Pond netted us a good profit We had expected to produce a one act play for assembly but decided we did not have the time In late winter of 1955 we had a dance the Sophomore Shindig This was a great success All enjoyed the music of Woody and His Stump Jumpers When the school year ended we again headed in the direction of Edgewood Inn where we spent a wonderful day July and August came and went and before we were quite ready September beckoned us back to work Now we were juniors and we felt a little important for this year we would have much to do besides our lessons. Mrs. Smith was again on hand to greet us and to remind us of the tasks that lay ahead, Gus Johannemann became our president, and for the third time Richard Romolo was elected vice president. Our class numbered nineteen. The African Dodger was chosen as our concession, not quite so profitable as the Fish PODCI, but lots of fun. After January 1, we took over the food concession at the basketball games, and in addition, we were allowed to sell candy, All cooperated well, and we found we had realized over one hundred dollars on five games, In the early spring, we spent five weeks preparing for our first three-act play, Let's Face lt, a financial and social success. Can we ever forget our dear Uncle Wi1liam and the part he had in this play? A word of thanks here to Mr, Haas and P'

Tom Beaudrot, for making an old man out of a young boy! In May of 1956, we sponsored, with the Class of 1956, a hillbilly show starring Stoney Cooper and his Clinch Mountain Clan. The auditorium was crowded, and the financial returns good for both classes. The highlight of our junior year came in early June when we held our Prom, Moonlight Serenade. The auditorium had been transformed into a moonlit garden. We had spent weeks making flowers and stars, and were so proud of our work, Gus Johannemann and Doris Fredenburg were crowned king and queen by Wayne Edwards and Patricia Late, the former king and queen. This was a night to remember. For the annual picnic, Mr, Wittenberg welcomed us again at Edgewood Inn. This time we didn't stay long, for it was a cold and rainy day. Before we knew it, the summer was over and we were back, this time as seniors. It was good to be back in Room 204 with Mrs, Smith as our advisor. Gus Johannemann and Richard Romolo were again elected president and vice president, We had lost Carol Pelton and Virginia Rogers to the happy state of matrimony but were glad to welcome Allan Schneider into our class, There were sixteen of us, a fact that gave us the distinction of being one of the smallest gradu- ating classes in LMCS history. This year we had the food concession at Halloween, the most profitable of the concessions. Since we needed only about fifty dollars to insure our trip to Washington, we held a bake sale which carried us over the top. October 10, 1956, was a happy day. At five a.m. we boarded the Shortline bus No. 221, for that long-awaited trip to the nation's capital. The Narrowsburg seniors and their chaperons, who joined us later, were such good company, Four fun-packed days followed. So many things to see, so many places to visit, so much to do, We loved every min- ute of our trip and would have liked to stay longer. On our return, we settled down to the work and fun of presenting another play. The Boarding l-louse Reach, a three-act comedy, delighted us and the audience, we think, The proceeds provided us with the means of leaving a class gift to the school, Immediately after the play, we started work in earnest on our yearbook. We worked long and hard, meeting all deadlines on time. When March 10 arrived, we were happy that the work was finished but knew we were going to miss all the fun we had had together, We selected gold and white as our class colors, the rose as the class flower, and our motto, The greater the difficulty, the greater the glory, Now there is left to us only graduation, As this event draws near, we wish we could turn back the calendar, for we are reluctant to leave LMCS which has come to mean so much to us,
