 m en In 1971, as Freshmen, Mr. Derefinko was our advisor. Out class officers were: President, Darla Phillips; Vice-President, Cindy Benjamin; Secretary, Vicki Stumpf; Treasurer, Jeff Bassette; and Student Council Rep- resentative, Larry Matice. In the fall of 1972, with Mr. Buck as our advisor, our officers were: President, Darla Phillips; Vice-Presi- dent, Carol Chavoustie; Secretary, Vicki Stumpf; Treasurer, Nanette Bergevin; and Student Council Represent- ative, Larry Matice. Our activities were a magazine sale, dances, and a bake sale. Back again as Juniors, with Mrs. Forepaugh as our advisor, our class officers were again: President, Darla Phillips; Vice-President, Carol Chavoustie; Secretary, Vicki Stumpf; and Treasurer, Nanette Bergevin. Our Student Council Representatives were LuAnn Thompson and Larry Matice. That year our activities included a stationery sale, dances, the selling of refreshments at soccer and basketball games, a huge candy bar sale, a record hop, and the annual Junior Prom with LuAnn Thompson as Queen and Dann Venton as King. Now we are Seniors, 26 members strong, with Mrs. Forepaugh again our advisor. Elected officers are: Presi- dent, Vicki Stumpf; Vice-President, Cindy Benjamin; Secretary, Kathy Bearup; and Co-Treasurers, Cathy Radley and Jeanette Wright. There are no Student Council Representatives. Activites this year have been the selling of individual school pictures, a dance, a car wash, a donkey basketball game, the publication of the 1975 edition of the Ontarion, and our Senior Trip to Washington, D.C. At one time or another, during the past four years, we have had with us: Bill Allen, Becky Barth, Gary Ben- ney, Roxanne Best, Eddy Calhoun, Kate Callahan, Mike Countryman, Shirley Davis, George Day, Milford Haas, Kate Hamlin, Mike Losak, Judy Mahon, Victor Sweet, and Jay Warner. Our Class motto is: The heart that loves is always young. The class flower is the violet, and our colors purple and silver. The graduating class of 1975 is having their 25 year reunion at the same location of their Senior group pic- ture, Ralph Radley's cornfield. However, the Radley farm is no longer there. Instead, it is a night club in the heart of downtown Chaumont, population 130,000, with the nostalgic name of The Corn A Go-Go. Sue Barbour is the first to make an appearence. Sue opened a string of liquor stores across the country under the name of Barbour's Bourbons and has been quite successful. Jeff Bassette arrives with a crash. In fact, he took out most of the wall! Jeff still doesn't know how to drive, and picked the easiest place to park - the middle of the dance floor. LuAnn and Kathy Gert Bearup arrive sounding very happy and singing 100 Bottles of Beer in the Wall. The door opens once more and suddenly there is the sound of applause and clicking cameras. It's Cindy Benjamin, better known now as Cindy Starr. Cindy made it big in Hollywood doing TV commercials. Ginger Benny arrives next, trailed by all of her children. She explains that there are very few sitters available 16
