CLASS HISTQRY As we, the graduating class of '64 say our farewells, we think back to a new era for voca- tional-technical students. Each one of us came here not knowing what to expect, except that we wanted a thorough training in our chosen fields, to become skilled workers, and to improve ourselves and our communities. All of us will remember our extended vacation the first ye ar when we started school in October, 1962 and went to school for only half days until December, how we rushed to catch a bus which was the first for most of us, the mud we waded through to get to our new, but not quite finished, school. There were no doors or floors in some places, no cafeteria, and hardly any shop equipment to work with. Two months later the cafeteria opened and our first meal was hot dogs and baked beans. Our first school activity began with the formation of the Tradescript, the school newspaper, with Mrs. Meranti as advisor and members of the junior Class as its first Staff. The first sport our school participated in was baseball, and, though we only won one game, it was a start for our other sports, football and basketball which began this year. just as in most other high schools, our yearbook staff was organized so that we could have this classbook to remember our days at McCann. Since this is the very first Artisan, it will always mean something very special to all of us, especially we Seniors. Each one of us will remember certain happenings of his own shop and class, and we will be remembered as the first class to graduate with all the trimmings like our yearbook, our Senior Banquet, our Senior Prom and most important of all, Graduation Day. For all of this we have to thank a wonderful man, Charles H. McCann for his steadfast belief that vocational-technical should be an integral part of this community's education. 25
