Senior Class History Four short years ago, we first tramped the halls as full fledged high school students. In our freshman year, we started early by electing the following class officers: President, Rose Collinsp Vice-President, Emadine Bixbyp Secretary, Mary Mahan: and Treasurer, Muriel McCarthy. During this year with the kind advice and help of Miss Wells, We attempted to launch the first newspaper of the school. With th-e support of the entire freshman class our paper was a success. We named it the Freshman Flash. In our first issue there were mis- takes, misprints, and typographical errors, and yet, we think, it can be said that each one of us was proud of it. With the money we earned, we bought a banner for our room upon which was the date of our graduating year. Our paper aroused the interest of so many students, that later in the year a newspaper club was formed for the entire high school. There is not a great deal to be said concerning our activities during our sophomore year. We elected class officers as follows: Doris Emmert, President: Sherman Tremblay, Vice-President: lewell Fish, Secretary: and Margaret Cummings, Treasurer. In our Iunior year, the following officers were elected: Sherman Tremblay, President: Leland Walters, Vice-President: Edith Kries, Treasurerp and lewell Fish, Secretary. Several of the Iuniors took part in the senior play and a major- ity of the class took part in sports. At the end of the year, we gave a picnic in honor of the Seniors. The picnic was held at Owasco Lake. Then we became Seniors. Feeling the responsibility that was placed upon our shoulders and the enormous amount of work before us, our first step was to elect our officers for the coming year, with: Leland Walters, President: Dale Bailer, Vice-President: lewell Fish, Secretaryp Mary Mahan, Treasurerp and Betty Rienhardt, Class Historian. We started out to make money for our treasury by having our Senior Play, A Pair of Country Kids, the first part of the year. We also had a Donkey Basketball game and sold candy at every home game of soccer, basketball, and baseball. As our high school term draws to a close, we become alumni, and thus the history of our class is finished. BETTY RIENHARDT. Class Historian -13-
