Our four class officers were: Bob Blumberg, presidentg Johnny Nelson, vice president, Rose Humphrey, secretary, Rod Graham, treasurer. To Student Council we sent Ron Bolton and Peggy Humphrey. We had a Lilac Dance with lots of decorations to carry out our theme We were tortured in the usual initiation, but, needless to say, as Sophs we had our revenge At Hallowe'en we won half the prize for the best float As we started our Sophomore year, remained our advisor for the rest of our that year were Warren Fick, president, Alice Ramsdale, secretary, Rod Graham, Dick Piersma were our Council representatives were adopted by Miss Klug, who high school days Our officers Gerald Gubbins, vice president, treasurer June Burhyte and We made money that year in various ways, having dances, movies, sell ing chances and crew hats, and with summer bake sales Mrs Nelson became a co advisor in our Junior year We had a suc cessful rummage sale along with our other activities We elected our yearbook staff to get an idea of what our jobs would be the next year Our play, 'Life Begins At Sixteen, despite all the usual worrying, was a success Our Prom, which we all worked hard on, was also well worth our efforts Thanks to the Piersmas our decorations were really beautiful The treasurer's books were closed that year with a balance of 51,053 Our officers were Ronald Bolton, Marie DeSeve, Alice Ramsdale, Rosemary Maloney and Rod Graham On Student Council June Burhyte and Warren Fick At last our Senior year and we really were busy! Our yearbook staff had to be partially revised due to the moving of Warren Fick, our editor We chose Marie DeSeve to replace him We won second prize for our Hallowe'en float, bowing to the mighty eighth grade Our magazine contest was a profitable venture Then came the climax our long awaited trip to New York at Christmas, a never to be forgotten adventure And now looms our next big event and the final one of our high school years graduation bringing all the whirl of caps and gowns, invitations, presents and diplomas A sad day when we realize it means leaving behind all the wonderful times of high school But happy, too, when we realize it is also called commencement, and that, from there we go to take our places in the world ' 5-4 'filly' I ,, .Sz Senior Class officers Alice Ramsdale secretar Florence Inglis, vice president, June urhyte presi dent, and Rosemary Maloney, treasurer 14 C:fT:::i:S 'C ' lf-v S by f S, f 5 2 ' I Q Q 4-t ' ' v I . y ' v . 5 , YS - KAN cuss wm n We, the 'Forty-Nlnersn of Oriskany Central School, being as sound of mind and body as we have ever been or ever will be, do bequeath on this first day of April, our most valuable possessions to the Junior Class.

You have big brains to figure with An owl like eyes to see Your work has been relentless, Your victory now is sweet, As your triumph march is passing, The world bows to your feet We know you're grateful for these things, Such as your school at O C S And tho you searched the big world thru, You'd find your faculty the best Bus drivers, board and Janitors, They're aces high, 'tis true, Your mothers, dads and then the rest Of your supporters too For truly they've been very kind, And you've been treated dear, know you thank them one and all this, your passing year. The good by will be sort of sad, We'll hate to see you go And you'll not want to leave behind The friends that you all know, But draw yourselves up tall and straight With grins on every face, Shake hands with all your classmates, And prepare to run your race Strive on without fatiguing, Your tasks you'll find completed with pride, when it is done You too, will find the world a stage On which you act l1fe's scenes So play your part the very best, And realize your dreams You'll know of tears and sadness For life is spiced that way But in the end you'll find Some good in every day, So when the road seems long, You're the masters of your fate The captains of your soul And even tho you rank with kings Don't lose the common touch, For that's one part of every life, That means so very much Ambitious can't be selfish, Friends aren't gained that wa Be ready with a helping hand And always it will pay And never take the credit, That isn't justly due, But be old fashioned sort of folks That's fair, and staunch, and true As boys and girls go down the line, The Senior classes come and go, With you we played, and worked, and planned And you're the ones that well we know We've seen you change and grow And watched your progress year by year, The hours flew and time marched on We saw you play and heard you cheer We wish you luck, and all life's best In what you choose to do These years have brought a love to us In each, and everyone of you Seniors friends, we say, 'farewell know we won't forget Good times we had together, And work o'er which we fret Those floats we made on Hallowe'en The flowers for your Prom Those dances gay, and cakes you sold So each could carr on Once more we say, Au revoir You'll follow straight the line, And in this world, you'll do great things, Your class of '49 Mr and Mrs Pierre Piersma 9 D ,I ' ' I I A d .'
