Class History In 1965, we found ourselves as Freshman, with Mrs. Forepaugh and Mr. Seelau as advisors. Our officers were: President, Pat West; Vice-President, Wesley Daniels; Treasurer, Denny Hillick; Secretary, Lyle Weaver; Student Council Representative, Dianne Bourcy. In the fall of 1966 with Mr. Seelau our advisor, our officers were: President, Bina West; Secretary, Nancy Rogers; Treasurer, Ann Stilson; and Student Council Representative, Wesley Daniels. Our activities included a magazine sale, an ice cream social, a sale of pennants and buttons, and various fudge sales. As Juniors, with Miss Mein as advisor, our officers were: President, Bina West; Vice-President, Dennis Hillick; Treasurer, Ann Stilson; Secretary, Nancy Rogers; and Student Council Representative, Wesley Daniels. Our activities included the sale of stationery, several dances, an ice cream social, fudge sales, sale of refreshments at Dasketball and baseball games, a three act play, They Went Thataway and the annual Junior Prom with Patricia Johnson as Queen and Lyle Weaver as King. Now that we are Seniors, twenty-eight members strong, our officers are: President, Wesley Daniels; Vice-President, Lyle Weaver, Treasurer, Bina West; Co-Secretaries, Nancy Rogers and Brenda Chavoustie; Student Council Representatives, Bina West and Wesley Daniels. Again Miss Mein is our advisor. Various activities have included the sale of wrapping paper, three one-act plays, an ice cream social, sale of in- dividual school pictures, the 1969 edition of the ONTARION, a Faculty-Senior basketball game, sale of refreshments at soccer and baseball games, and the Senior trip. During the past four years, the following have been with us at one time or another: Harry Barr, Robert Horning, Richard Horning, Mary Mount, Tom Morgia, Frank Schultz, Susan Demo, Randall Demo, Ann Stilson, Craig Southwell, Robert Engle, Donald Fulmer, and John Manassa. Our class motto is: Small deeds done are better than great deeds planned. The class flower is the forget-me-not, and our class colors are blue and silver. We, the class of 1969, who through no fault of our own attend Lyme Central School in the village of Chaumont, town of Lyme, state of New York, in the United States of America, being of little mind and all but no body, do declare this to be our first and last will and testament, and in accordance with all laws governing such documents and proceedings, do hereby bequeath to our most hated friends and acquaintances our most treasured worldly possessions as follows herein: I, DIANE ADAMS, Leave my ability to say the wrong thing at the right time to anyone who doesn't mind sticking his foot in his mouth. I, HAROLD ALBERRY, Leave happy memories to every teacher at Lyme Central who has had the oppor- tunity of trying to teach me. I, CARL BERGEVIN, leave my position in band and a pair of broken drumsticks to Jim Mucklewee. I, DIANNE BOURCY, leave what little ability I have in archery to Kathy Crouse. I, DONALD BOURQUIN, leave my bowling skill to anyone who can brag about it as much as I have. I, BRENDA CHAVOUSTIE, leave my position as Phyllis Diller of the Senior Class to LuAnn Chavoustie, in the hope that she will wear the crown proudly. I, RONALD CHEAL, leave my ability to go unnoticed in the home room to Willard Haas. I, ALAN CROUSE, leave my snowmobile to Santa Claus in the hope that he will put it to good use. I, WEBBIE DANIELS, leave my ability to mess things up to anybody who likes being miserable. I, ERICA HARE, leave my sense of humor to Grover Lee Drury. With a name like that, he'll need it.

I, KEN MURRAY, leave my skill in basketball, along with my towering height, to Vernon Davis. 22

We advise TOM ROGERS to join Hell's Angels with his Super 90 and head the pack. We advise MARCIA RUSSELL to open a foreign foods center. With her brains and personality, no one would guess that she wasn't Polish. We advise BOB VENTON to start his vineyard and go into the wine-making business. We hear he's good at it. We advise DICK WALKER to start a horse ranch. With his mustang, he can lead the herd. We advise LYLE WEAVER to get a job at the Fruit of the Loom factory. With his name he has to do all right. We advise BINA WEST to become a stewardess. The pay might not be good, but those free trips to Cuba are. We advise PAT WEST to open a barber shop. He'd probably have the best Clip Joint in town. We advise JOE WILLIAMS to join the Marines and conquor the world in the name of L.C.S. We advise PAT WILLIAMS to move to Hawaii and become a professional pineapple picker. Class Prophecy The year is 1984. Fifteen years after its glorious graduation, the class of '69 is holding its reunion in the ballroom of the New Crescent Hotel, which now covers nearly a full block in the heart of downtown Chaumont. HAROLD ALBERRY drove up in his new mail truck. He has come a long way since his days as janitor of the Chaumont Post Office. CARL BERGEVIN, now a famous physicist, tells us that he believes the earth is flat. He says that the horizon is merely an optical illusion and that astronauts see the earth as round because of the refraction of light caused by the atmosphere which hovers over the flat surface. DIANE ADAMS is now married to a talent scout who saw her in our senior play fifteen years ago. She has won various awards for her performance as Kate in Shakespeare's Taming of the Shrew. We were unable to identify DIANNE BOURCY when she first entered, as she has added fifteen years' growth to her hair. People keep getting her confused with Lady Godiva. DON BOURQU1N drove up in his old 1961 chevy. Except for the hole in the muffler and the trail of oil behind, the car seems to be in pretty good shape. BERNADETTE PICHE appeared on the scene wearing a full-length chinchilla coat, which she bought with the money she earned from her new book - My Most Romantic Days Were at L.C.S. DEBBIE FLOWER CHILD P1CKETTE flew in from Greenwich Village. Even though she has a rich husband, she prefers the life of a hippie. JOHN O'KAY came in very slowly, and it appeared he had been crying. He had just wrecked his new $15,000 high performance car, nicknamed Peppermint Schnaps.” ALAN CROUSE is making his mark in the world as manager and statistician for KEN MURRAY'S basketball team. We are lucky the Coast Guard and Border Patrol gave RON CHEAL permission to come unarmed. He is a successful (?) smuggler, and the Coast Guard wanted to get a good look at his boat, The Rum Runner. WEBBIE DANIELS arrived from the West coast, where he is a famous lawyer. His ambition to become a beach bum led his to set up offices on the beach. He says that he’s very big with the surfing set. ERICA HARE, who won fame (?) and fortune (?) selling Christmas wrapping paper for the senior class, has just signed a contract with the Chrysler Co. to become the new Dodge girl and advertise Dodge fever. PATRICK WEST has just been released from prison where he had been serving time for insulting the President of the United States. 24
