A WAKE, ARISE, OR BE FORE VER FALLEN

YEAR T O REMEMBER The summer of 1961 was filled with fun, but like all summers, it came to an end. As new ninth graders, we really looked forward to the arrival of September. We anticipated the importance of becoming members of the high school student body and readied ourselves for the work ahead. September arrived and with it, for us new freshmen, came the problem of choosing class colors, a class motto, and the class flowers. After some discussion, we selected as our motto, Awake, Arise, or Be Forever Fallen. The choice of class colors required a bit more of a debate, but we finally de- cided upon powder blue and black. After a revote was taken, green and white became our permanent class colors. We then chose as ourclass flower the white rose. In the most important year preceding the freshman year, our classofficers had been, president, Karen Loucks, vice president, William Krupp, secretary, Michael Schwartz, treasurer, Keith Buck, and Student Council representatives, Caroline Benton and Alice Diescher. In seventh grade, we were pleased that we could go to different rooms for our vari- ous classes just as the older students did. Our year ended with a class trip to Fort Delaware. We were accompanied by our advisors, Mrs. Spriggs and Mr. Gips and Mrs. Moutoux and Mrs. Bouton. Soon it was time to return to L. M. C. S. for the start of eighth grade. This year our class officers were, president, Wayne Levitt, vice -president, Karen Loucks, secretary, Barbara Sprague, treasurer, Fredrick Butler, and Student Council representatives, Alice Diescher and Joyce Merritt. The highlight of our eighth grade year was a minstrel show complete with an interlocutor, Sheila Baker, and four endmen, portrayed by Karen Loucks, Lee Denman, William Krupp, and Michael Schwartz. The remainder of the class made up the chorus. For our class trip this year, we went to Albany, Shortly afterward, we had a class picnic at Tro- jan Lake Lodge. This was to be our last class picnic. Although a few poor souls were thrown into the pool fully clothed, all agreed it had been a pleasant picnic. During the summer, we were shocked and deeply saddened to learn of the sudden death of our classmate, Nancy Foster. As freshmen, we were assigned to two homeroomsg Mrs. Smith's and Mr, Brown's. For the first three years of high school, our class was divided in this manner. Our first duty this year was to elect new class officers. We chose as president, Wayne Levitt, vice -president, Fredrick Butler, secretary, Joyce Denman, treasurer, Edwin Edwards, and Student Council representatives, Victoria O'Dell and Lee Denman. In the fall, we produced our first play, lf Boys Wore the Skirts. Who can forget Billy slinking across the stage in a skirt that was much too tight for him?
