Calais V Four years ago a very green Freshman class of students entered their first year of high school. Mr. Clyde Keith was our advisor. Class officers were: President, Gretchen Wilder; Vice-President, Jean Mason; Secretary, Doreen Diamond and Treasurer, Elsie Reed. The school year closed with a class picnic at Cedar Point State Park. Maybe our school year was quiet, but it ended with a bang, when the school burned in the stammer. The beginning of our Sophomore year found our class selling magazines. Calvin Becker was our top salesman. Mr. John Grieco was our class advisor. Class officers were: President, Lawrence Comins; Vice-President, Elsie Reed; Secretary, Gretchen Wilder; and Treasurer, Mary Kate Mahan. The school year ended with a class picnic at Cedar Point State Park. In our Junior year we were all scurrying around making plans for our Senior year’s trip and graduation. We sold stationery to build up our funds for our Senior trip. Mrs. Eula Beck was our class advisor. Class officers were: President, Sandra Mumford; Vice-President, Elsie Reed; Secretary, Mary Kate Mahan; and Treasurer, Gretchen Wilder. The school year ended with a class picnic at Cedar Point State Park. We presented a Junior Play called Mrs. Plaster of Paris , directed by Mr. Stone. Our Junior Prom was held in June, with Sandra Mumford as Queen and Calvin Becker as King. Our Senior year found all of us picking out a Senior play, a hard task because we had so few in our class. We finally decided upon Take Three Girls . Mr. Stone was again our director. Our class officers were: President, Mary Kate Mahan; Vice-President, Ethel Lear; Secretary, Elsie Reed; Treasurer, Gretchen Wilder; Representative to Student Council, Larry Comins. Our Senior trip consisted of four days in Washington, D. C. and two days in New York City, chaperoned by Mr. Fetterly. The whole trip lasted a week. Our four years of high school ended when the ten Seniors graduated from L.C.S. It might be interesting to note that Gretchen, Pat, Sandra, and Larry started school together in the first grade. Ethel joined our class in the second grade, Joan joined our class in the sixth grade, Elsie and Calvin joined us from Three Mile Bay school in the seventh grade, Mary Kate in the eighth grade, and Norman joined our class in our senior year.
