( ass 3{is torij In the fall of 1956, the class of 1960 entered Lyme Central School, looking very bewildered. Our class advisor for that year was Mr. Weaver. We elected our class officers as follows: President - Dave Peters, Vice President - John Hentze, Secretary - Leslie Comins, Treasurer - Bill Beck, Student Council Representative - Susan Richards. After the summer vacation, we once again tramped to the doors of Lyme Central, eager for knowledge. Mrs. Dunham had the delight (?) of being our homeroom teacher. We sponsored a magazine sale and a dance to earn money for our New York trip. Our class officers were: President - John Hentze, Vice President - Dave Peters, Secretary - Bill Beck. Treasurer - Larry Barr, Student Council Representative - Elaine Northrop. Refusing to be defeated, we began our junior year with a very optimistic Miss Southard as our class advisor. We elected for our officers: President - Leslie Comins, Vice President - Steve Foster, Secretary - Sue Lynch, Treasurer - Sue Richards, and Student Council Representative - Dave Peters. Our activi- ties included selling hot dogs and cokes at home basketball games, selling stationery, and sponsoring the Junior Prom. We also presented three one-act plays: I'll Die for Dear Old Rutgers, Murder by Morning, and While the Toast Burned. Returning for our final year, we found a very pessimistic Miss Southard. During the year, we had a Christmas Ball, fudge sales, a magic show, and a three-act play, Vim, Vigor, and Vitality. Those who took the jobs of being class officers were: President - Sue Lynch, Vice President - Elaine Northrop, Secretary - Steve Foster, Treasurer - Sharon Bevens, and Student Council Rep- resentative - Dave Peters. Nine of us have been classmates throughout all our years in school. These nine are Liz Wilder, Sandy Wallace, Susan Richards, Brenda Ball, David Peters, Gail Hillick, John Hentze, Leslie Comins, and Bill Beck. Through our years of schooling, many persons have been members of our class from time to time. Space prevents our mentioning all of them, but per- haps it would be interesting to list those who were with us sometime during the past six years: Linda Thompson, Carolyn Ackerman, Karen Mosher, Mary Jack- son, Susan Richardson, Karen Loan, Dorothy McNulty, Mary Belle McNulty, Bob Thompson, Helen Torrey, Alex Sundberg, and Norman Cheal.

I. ANN YOTT, leave my ability to blush easily to Wally Tyler. We hereby appoint as executor of this, our final will . . . Alfred E. Neuman of Mad We advise LARRY AUSTIN to become a coach and write a book on basketball. We advise BRENDA BALL to go to work for MAD Magazine. Her diabolical sense of humor would be very helpful (?) to the editor. We advise LARRY BARR to get more than four hours of sleep each night or get the whole- sale price on No-Doze. We advise BILL BECK to start a dairy farm. He seems to have gotten a good beginning from his father. We advise SHARON BEVENS to apply for a job as bookkeeper for Governor Rockefeller. After handling the funds for the Seniors, she should be able to handle anyone's. We advise LESLIE COMINS to hunt for a girl. He seems to do OK where animals and birds are concerned. We advise STEPHEN FOSTER to write a song entitled Sandy with the Dark Brown Hair. His namesake seems to have done all right. We advise JIMMY GARRETT to buy a helicopter so he can get ahead of the Canton Clan. We advise ROBERT GREENE to become a traveling salesman for a tobacco company. We advise JOHN HENTZE to start his own jazz band, modeled after Spike Jones. We advise GAIL HILLICK to take up dietetics and come back to manage the Lyme Cen- tral cafeteria. We advise SUZANNE LYNCH to get started now on the prize-winning novel she will someday publish. We know how long it takes her to write a mere paragraph. We advise ELAINE NORTHROP to keep up on her driving. Maybe someday she will be asked to join Steve Cochran and his Helldrivers. We advise DAVID PETERS to keep his attractive personality; we wouldn't know him without it. We advise LEO PETTEY to purchase the Cape Vincent to Watertown bus route and start operating buses leaving Chaumont hourly. We advise SUSAN RICHARDS to become a member of the Olympic swimming team. We advise FRED WALKER to build a bowling alley mid-way between Chaumont and Three Mile Bay and keep one alley reserved for himself. We advise SANDRA WALLACE to keep practicing her yodel.
