Class History In the history of lVladrid-Waddington Central School there have been three great tragedies, the departure of Mr. Callahan, the omission of a swimming pool in the new building, and the graduation of the class of '64, ln the year 1960 we took our places as Freshmen. We were ready to provide the leadership necessary for the training of the 7th and 8th graders. Then we became Sophomores. Instead of going to school in the afternoon, we went in the morning with the Juniors and Seniors. On that fateful day in September the upperclassmen knew that they had met their betters. There was something majestic, something celestial about these youngsters. All realized that this was no ordinary class. At this time we elected officers under the supervision of our advisors, Mrs. Finnegan and Mr. Pinover. The officers were President-Roy Cameron, Vice-Presi- dent-Joyce Feulner, and Secretary-Treasurer--Carol Silakowski. We started the year 1962 with our ,lunior Prom at which Leslie Bower and Russell Strait reigned as queen and king. The officers of the Junior Class were President- John Ashley, Vice-President-William Hosmer, and Secretary-Treasurer-Frances Ruddy. Mr. Hoadley and Mrs. Ruddy were our supervisors. In the fall of 1963 we became Seniors, the pride of the school. We will not say that our play was sensational, although we received many offers from Hollywood. Neither will we say that our yearbook is sheer genius, although we have been approached by many publishers. No, we will not say all these things because above all our many virtues, reigns the virtue of honesty. Our class leaders this year were Russell Strait, President, Richard Cardoza, Vice-President, and Leslie Bower, Secretary-Treasurer. Our capable advisors were Mrs. Barkley and Mrs. Audet. Now we are leaving you, leaving to become the statesman and leaders of the World. We are ready to determine the destiny of the world and leave our mark on the pages of history. Someday you will be able to say proudly, HI knew the class of 1964-.', ll! 1 ' tl ' , s as ,A .4 V V Q 4 V 7 s ,i e ' 'A' 'Nl' 'l ll'

Class Prophecy On his arrival at the ,lohn F. Kennedy International Airport in New York City on June 1, 1980 that world-famous reporter for the New York Times, John Ruddy, had this to say: HI have just completed my most difficult assignment, a world-wide tour to find what my old classmates of the class of 764 at MWCS are doing. We boarded the plane for a trip to Rome, accompanying me were my wife, the former Tina Clegg, my personal secretary, Virginia Hoyt, and my valet, Ray Ellis. I was flying to Rome because I had heard that Linda DeFazio was over there teaching the Italians how to cook. When we were airborne, I heard the pilot talking. It seemed to be a very familiar voice, so I inquired who the pilot was. Much to my amazement I found that Louise Richards was at the controls. I went up to talk to her and who should be the co-pilot but her sidekick from school days, Mildred Marceau. From them I learned the where- abouts of many members of our class. They informed me that Judy Ladoceour, Peggy Pemberton, Janice I,aValley and Nancy Holliday have finally bought that ringside table at Cap's Inn. Another of their pals, world famous swimmer Rosalie Miller, and her new associate, Pat Chateau, have taken to doing their workouts in the TVA Irrigation Ditches. Linda Dunn, Alice Hubbard and Tam Buckley now own and run their own nightspot in Reno. The bouncers there are Wilfred and William Bush. Rowdy customers can't tell if they are seeing double or there are really two of them, so they leave gladly. Some steady customers are Joe Howard, a now famous lawyer taking over the Perry Mason series this year. fThere is a difference though, Joe never wins a casej and Pat Ruddy, now national director of the FFA, living up to its motto as always FATHER FARMS ALONE. They had also heard that Russ Strait has achieved his goal of being a mortician. His assistant is that ex-nurse Joyce Feulner. Instead of trying to save patients, she worked at disposing of them. I guess Russ considered her as a good assistant to aid in his business. This assignment was turning out to be much easier than I expected. When I reached Rome, I looked up Linda DeFazio which wasn't very hard. Everyone seemed to know her. She told me that she had heard that Dick Cardoza was now in Spain fighting the bulls. Living in Madrid so as not to change his address, he thought was wise. In England the famous pigtailed actress Frani Ruddy is now being directed by Steve LePage, so as to keep up the family tradition. I'1l bet Steve is still the dashing young man that he was in high school - dashing after girls, that is. As I was visiting with Linda, I spotted a Massena Observer on the newstand. The first thing I saw was an ad, DAVE'S LIGHT TRUCKING. Nobody was ever sure what he is trucking down Thunder Road!! Then my eyes were drawn to another ad, this one Tabby's Inn, now under the management of 4'Buttons Charlebois. After managing our basketball teams in our old school days, this should be easy for Torn. I decided that I had better be on my way and since Linda said that she had last heard that a group from our class had enlisted in the Peace Corps, I wanted to investigate.
