CLASS HISTORY The class of ,544 has few days remaining in N. C. S. Soon we shall leave these hallowed halls, never again to enter as students. Yes, our days as students are over but the memories of these days will never be forgotten. Our first remembrance was the fall of 1942 when we began first grade under the excellent guid- ance of Miss Twig. Thirty-five scared little kids came through that year with flying colors. It wasn't long, however, before our class began to expand. In the fourth grade we were joined by Ross Yaple, Gordon Terwillegar, and Richard Hillick. Ivar Landstrom and Harry Doane became members of our class in fifth grade. lt was in the fifth grade that several pupils began to show their interest in music. Ten pupils honored the band with their presence. In sixth grade Eileen Blomquist came to us from Bloomfield, New Jersey. Before we realized it, we were in seventh grade. We were fortunate in claiming a new teacher at Newfield, Mrs. Doris Votry, as our advisor who brought us through our first year in junior high school with honors. This year we held a card party which netted us, in our estimation, a small fortune. In the sophomore year we were joined by Nancy French who came from Ithaca High. We held a dance that year which netted us peanuts! We were all sorry to see Jerry Novak leave us to go to Fdorida. We were even more successful in our junior year when We used the profits from our play Dam- sels in Distressl' to underwrite the cost of our uunforgettablea' prom. At last we were seniors. Little did we realize the work this would mean. But we had Joanne Bur- mester, who came from New York City, to help us. Our first project was the senior play, 4'Papa Says No! which we all enjoyed and on which we also made a good profit. We also gave a supper for the Black Cats. We thought we would never get those dishes done. Of course, the 'aMemoria has kept us all busy, but we have enjoyed every moment of it. The senior class of 1954 hereby wishes to thank Miss Thatcher for helping us through a trying but worthwhile year. We have had twelve short but memorable years which will never be forgotten. We wish the next year's graduating class all the luck and good fortune that we have enjoyed in the past years. THE CLASS OF '54 IN ITS FIRST YEAR AT NEWFIELD CENTRAL SCHOOL Back Row: D. Williams, E.
