SENIOR CLASS HISTORY On August 29, 1952, twenty-nine green freshmen, sev- enteen girls and twelve boys, started up the steps toward graduation. After the first few weeks we became accus- tomed to the routine of high school classes. Our first year we elected the following officers: President--Dennis fSkipj Anderson Vice-President--Patti Andersen Secretary--Kay Nelson Treasurer--Bill Chesney Advisor--Fred Russel Our first high light of the year---INITIATION, Sep- tember 12. The boys looked very feminine carrying their dolls and dressed in negligee, night caps, and high heels. The girls looked very cute dressed in their dad's pajamas, one bedroom slipper, one hip boot, and with their hair in twenty pig tails. As we recall that day, we think of how funny we must have looked to the upper classmen. At the beginning of the year, Marshall Kinsley joined our class, but before the year was over, we lost Shirley Partin, Shirley Benoodt, Orvin Webb, and Beth Swansong leaving a total of twenty-five in our class. We ended our first year feeling less green and much older. After a summer of fun and hard work, we returned in the fallwith twenty-six in our class, eleven boys and fif- teen girls. We gained one new member, Linda Jaques. Later we lost Charles Boyce, due to illness. Our officers for this year were: President--Theora Wiseman Vice -President--Rita Dell Cooksey Secretary--Katherine Miller Treasurer--George House Advisor--Mrs. Small We sold magazines at the beginning of the year and also ordered our class pins. Our main event for the year was our Sophomore Dance on December 22, following the Manlius vs Mineral basket- ball game. On March 19, we had a lot of fun having a St. Patrick's Day Party. With a junior air of authority, we returned to school in the fall of '54 with twenty-four membersg Janet Pyse having moved away during the summer. We now had four- teen girls and ten boys, later gaining Art Ghys for a total of twenty-six. The officers for this year were: President--Theora Wiseman Vice-President--David Michlig Secretary--Patti Andersen Treasurer--Richard Van Bevern Advisors--Miss Decker and Mr. Cliff During the second semester, we gained three new membersg Patricia Brigham, Ioan Neidetcher, and Beth Swanson - -but we also lost three me mbersg Ge orge House, George Krug, and Art Ghys. This left us with twenty-five members in our class, eight boys and seventeen girls. We all looked forward to getting our class rings which came in November. We decorated the football field for the Homecoming game on October 1. We again took an active part in the magazine cam- paign. Some of our projects through-out the year were the coke machine, Bar-B-Q dinner, and hobo day. Out- standing was the Junior Dance on December 3, following the Manlius vs Sheffield game. On May 6 and 7, we presented the Junior Class Play, ONLY AN ORPHAN GIRL . The play was well attended and proved to be quite a success. Another great scene was the Jr. and Sr. Banquet and Promon May 14. Our theme was U.S.S. Memories . Al- though we worked hard, we enjoyed it. On August 29, we serious seniors walked up the steps and in the door to finish our high school career. There were twenty-six members since Marilyn Peterson joined us, eighteen girls and eight boys. Officers chosen were: President--Ronald Nordstrom Vice-President --Beth Swanson Secretary--Theora Wiseman Treasurer--Kay Nelson Advisors--Miss Peters and Mr. Vroman Many alumni returned for our Homecoming Dance on October 15, following the Manlius vs Sheffield game. The theme for the dance was AUTUMN LEAVES . To raise money for our senior trip, we again partici- pated in the magazine campaign, sold necklaces, had din- ners at noon, and had a Glenn Miller record dance. Again this year, our play, TWELVE ANGRY MEN , was held two nights--November 18 and 19, It proved very successful. The senior class was in charge of the conces- sion stand atthe football games and part of the basketball games at New Bedford. ln January Elaine Hartz was chosen as the DAR Award Winner. Two big projects accomplished this year were the pub- lishing of our school paper, THE DEVIL'S TALE , and the MIRROR, our annual. A May evening was the scene of our final prom. Our King and Queen reigned in pomp splendor through a long night. The juniors worked hard to make it a highly suc- cessful evening for one and all. Good things must come to an end. Sooooo, graduation finally arrived with all the homework, and other memo- ries now a part of the past. Our finalschool activity which we were all highly an- ticipating was our trip to New York City. This we lelt was a wonderful way to bring to a close our four memorable years at Manlius High School. Written by Patti and Betti Andersen
