THE PACEMAKER 1941 Ciiaw, Sliiatoftg ... CLASS OF '41 In September of the year 1937, a group of cocky youngsters took their places in the old study hall of M. H. S. Miss Goth and Mr. Meyers watched over them this first year of their high school career. When June came, all passed their exams with the exception of three or four, and were eligible to be sophomores. The following year, as sophomores, their class advisor was Mr. Erickson. This second year was not quite so exciting as the first, for they had learned the ropes by this time and weren't so much impressed by upperclassmen or the comparative freedom of high school life. In the middle of the term the construction began on the new addition to the school building. During this period the distractions were numerous, with the constant noise of riveting and pneumatic drills and the daring feats of the structural steel workers to watch. In spite of all this, most of the class came through their final June exams successfully. Beginning of the third year found the school still under construction. However, by this time the students were somewhat acclimated to the noise, and studies progressed more smoothly. The outstanding social event was the bang-up picnic the Juniors held at Hogsback to wind up the year. Shearer, a victim of one of the numerous mishaps, was tenderly given first aid by some of the feminine members of the class. Speed, a candid camera fiend, lurked in the treetops and behind rocks, snapping shots of the picnickers in unconventional and sometimes embarrassing poses. Ibby and Nadine, in charge of the lemonade, defied all the laws of hygiene by stirring the concoction with their arms because no one had thought to bring along a spoon. The class also had the honor of sponsoring the first Junior prom to be held in the new gymnasium. This year, which was more eventful than the preceding year, was under the guidance of Miss La Rocque, whose charming personality contributed much to the enjoy- ment of all their affairs. Although several of their classmates didn't survive the battery of tests in June, the class numbered 36 when as Seniors they embarked upon the last lap of the journey through school in September, 1940. This year found them under the kind and able leadership of Mrs. Rider. What with the annual Hallowe'en social, Senior play and the May Festival, this year proved to be the most eventful of all and marked the culmination of twelve years of study and good times in Mayville Central School. -M. C., '41

1941 THE PACEMAKER Glade .fo-ng. . .. G'BYE NOW G'bye now, g'bye now, We thought our school days were divine, We spent our studyhalls wasting the time, We can't deny, so now good-bye. G'bye now, g'bye now, Success lies just beyond us now, We'd linger longer if we could, No use to cry, so now good-bye. There's one advantage to our leaving, It brings about a lot of memoriesg I hope they'll last for eternity, A A momentary parting, just a few months we'll be starting. So g'bye now, g'bye now, It breaks our hearts to leave our school, And our experiences on a high dunce stool, But for now, g'bye now.
