The Class of 1946 FOREWORD N THIS, the T946 edition of the Ovidian, it is our purpose to acquaint you more fully with the school and its pupils. It is our way to recall memories to some, and to others, moments to cherish now and in the future. We take special pride in this edition of the Ovidian for the war is over and peace is here after four years of warfare. Also most Johnnies have come marching home-for which we are all grateful from the bottom of our hearts- while others have not, but are protecting us from another war. The boys that are never coming home will always have a place in our hearts . . . never to be forgotten. The aim of the Ovidian is always to please its readers and we, the class of 1946, sincerely hope we have succeeded in doing iust this.

OUR SCHOOL IN POSTWAR DAYS OW that the war is over many schools have resumed activities which were curtailed during the days of war. Gradually our school routine has become more like it used to be before the war. As a result of the war there are many new phases of science to be studied such as electronics and atomic power. To some extent the students are now studying these interesting things. Our school building has been used more by the community since the war's end. Meetings are held in the cafeteria and auditorium. Dances have been numerous. The Home Bureau, Chamber of Commerce and American Legion have all made use of our school. Our studies are very important and we are trying to learn the changes which have been brought about as a result of the war. ln social studies a new phase of the history of the war is being studied. The events of this war are being studied. The members of the classroom are attempting to solve the world problems of today as well as to try to figure out the whys and wherefores of the past events. As a result of the war a new field of literature has been opened to the English student. Many new, interesting and popular works have evolved from war adventures and are being read by high school students. A great many new subjects for compositions and essays have come to light. There was much appreciation as shown by the large number of students desiring to attend the out-of-town sports events, when buses were once again allowed to take them to the games. These are but a few of the changes that have come as a result of this past w-.. era. Many customs and ways of teaching will be different as time goes by but this is how it stands at present. Familiar faces began to appear this year when many of our boys and girls returned to greet former teachers and classmates. In March 1946 there appeared on our Honor Roll 272 names and of these 178 have returned from the service and have been honorably discharged. From the many battlefields, areas of war, and prisoner-of-war camps these boys and girls of Ovid Central came back to their homes and families. We hope that the remaining ones will return soon. Our hearts go out to the families of these three boys whose names will go down forever as giving the last full measure of devotion to their country. ARTHUR G. DEPEW i' WILLIAM J.

Q at Mr. Delfs WITH APPRECIATION HEN school opens next September, some of the faculty who answered Here this year will no longer be present. Mrs. Bassette, who introduced commercial work into our school and has made it a real success, will be elsewhere. We appreciate her helpfulness in many lines of endeavor, and we wish especially to speak of the painstaking work which she did on The Ovidian when she acted as faculty advisor. Those of us who have worked on the staff know how many long hours of toil and sleepless nights are involved in such a project, and for ourselves and the classes before us we sincerely thank her. We wish her continued success and much happiness in the future. We shall miss Mr. Delfs in science and Mr. Farnsworth in Ag. We have en- joyed our work with them and have found them wonderful, not only as teachers but as friends. The best of luck to both! Perhaps we may be able to find a rabbit's foot or a four leaf clover somewhere for them! Mrs. Fesler is discontinuing her work as Fourth grade teacher to accompany Mr. Fesler when he attends school in Boston. We know the grade pupils and the teachers will miss Mrs. Fesler's efficiency and charming manner, but who are we to dictate what she is to do. Here's to you and your future, Mrs. Fesler! Mr. Javanovic, our band director, is also leaving. We wish him success in whatever he may do. When Miss Mannix returned from her Easter vacation, she had accepted a position at Central lslip. While we realize that this is a fine promotion and we wish her the best of success, we shall miss her in Ovid Central where she has taken such a keen interest in dramatics and athletics. Come back to see us often, Miss Mannix! Mrs. Smith resigned from her position as sixth grade teacher because of illness. Her fine influence in the school will long be felt, and we hope that she may soon be greatly improved in health. i'l2i 1 in , u Un lim l lf X 9 ' Jie p 5351774 f 4 9 vi r f l Rx X I CLASS OFFICERS President ....................................................

Although it seems long ago we remem- ber our Freshman year quite vividly. Miss Man nix was our class advisor and of course we were all scared to death of her. We didn't dare open our mouths for if we did she would immedi- ately silence us! We soon got over being so shy and came to like Miss Mannix very much. Now that we think back we wonder how she ever put up with us. This was the year that Herbert McCutcheon, who is now in the Navy, jumped out of a second story window. That really made people look at us little Freshmen. To be sure, we displayed our talents in other ways, too. Our class officers were: President ...... ..... A lan Clarke Vice-President ...... James Young Secretary ...... ..... J ack Swarthout Treasurer .... ...Ruth Nielsen This being our Ninth Grade commencement year, we had the following Honor Students Valedictorian .... ...................... J ack Swarthout Salutatorian .... ...... A lan Clarke Third Honor ..... Fourth Honor ..... ,.........Ruth Nielsen .....Harriet Van Vleet We well remember the night of graduation. The girls wore their first formals and the boys wore suits. There were 58 pupils in the class. Our Sophomore year was the year that the boys became experts at throwing erasers. lt was really dangerous for a teacher to leave our room and then come back in. We also remember the time that Mrs. Depew disliked our singing on the way upstairs from assembly and promptly marched us back down to return in order. We learned by experience, all right! In our Sophomore year we gave money to the Honor Roll Fund and now we have a lovely Honor Roll in the front corridor. This was the year that our basketball team went to Rochester and many of our classmates went to see this game. Our officers for this year were: President ........... Vice-President Secretary ........ Treasurer Our Junior year was a busy one. There were 38 class advisor and our officers were: President ........... Vice-President Secretary ...... Treasurer ..... i22'k ...Barbara Bowers .Donald Robinson ...........Dixie West ......Ross Cassidy members in the class. Miss Wilson was our ......Alan Clarke .....Royce Green .........Ruth Nielsen Harriet Van Vleet We were very proud of our Senior rings which we received shortly after Easter. Along with our many studies we sponsored a bake sale, a stationery sale and a vic dance to make money for our Junior Prom. We held the Prom in April and had charge of the Senior Ball in June. In our Senior year there were 34 members in the class, 24 less than in our Freshman year. Our class officers were: President .......... ...... A lan Clarke Vice-President ........... ..... R oyce Green Secretary-Treasurer ..... ..... R uth Nielsen Mrs. Franklin was our class advisor. We, being The class, set out to show ourselves off. It's a good thing that shoe rationing stopped because we were rapidly wearing our shoes out travelinj around the halls. l'm sure each one of us remember the long talks that Miss Mannix gave us about being Seniors and not to go riding along on the crest of a wave any more. We really have done one thing this year that we are very proud of and that is to sponsor a Benefit Dance for Billy Duncan. Billy had been in the hospital recovering from serious bu rrzs for about 8 months and we decided to give him a Christmas present. The community clubs g :ive us some money to put with what we made from the dance so we had a total of 5215. We h sive thought of Billy as our protege since this and are proud to dedicate our yearbook to him. We had our Senior pictures taken on Valen ine's day and since then have been very busy working on the year book. The boys from our class who are in service are: Robert Baldorf Gerald Baynes Walter Evans Henry Jordan Lincoln Lathrop Irving Lewis Herbert McCutcheon Neil Kenyon James Young Our Honor Students are: Valedictorian ..... ...... A lan Clarke Salutatorian .... ............ R uth Nielsen Third Honor ..... ....... H arriet Van Vleet Fourth Honor .... ............. J ean Lyda As we look back over the years we realize what a wonderful time we have had in high school and also realize that it has gone much too fast. We are looking forward to the future through rosy glasses and hope that we will not be disappointed. i'23-l CLASS PROPHECY Time: 1956 Scene: The Alumni Banquet of the class of 1946, held at Ovid Central School auditorium. As we are gathered together today, we see the changes which have come into the lives of our fellow classmates. A few are seated around the table, but the rest are still straggling in as in days gone by. As we visit our old Alma Mater, we find that Miss Jane Simpson has followed in her Mother's footsteps and is hopelessly struggling to teach the Freshman which Miss Mannix left to her when she went to New York to teach dramatics. fHer latest hit A Case of Springtime now appearing on Broadway.J Here comes Miss Barbara Bowers. She is now the nurse in charge of the psychoneurotic patients at Willard. She has a chain of grocery stores extending from Ovid to the moon lby radarj as a side line. Bobby is still patiently waiting. Just keep smilin' kiddo. Oh, yes, here comes General Cassidy. He is now the Commander of the U. S. Army Air Force and he will now tell us of his many harrowing experiences. Now entering are Joe Finn and Don Munson, the present owners of the Sure Hit taxi service. A few of those seated are Miss Jane Hayes and Miss Shirley Albro. They have iust opened a tea shop called Dew Drop Inn. Miss Helen Doane is at present a tight rope walker with Barnum and Bailey. Dick Jennings and Phil Lynch are the owners of that famous Drape Shape modeling agency. With them is their outstanding model, Mrs. Edward Carroll. She is the former Miss Jean Lyda, the Miss America of 1956. Miss Esther Blake lbetter known as Betty Hutton the secondl is now singing with Bill Reed lKrupa the secondl and his Swingsters appearing nightly at the Starlight Roof of the Ovid lnn. They will now favor us with that smash hit song number one on the Hit Parade, Don't Flag the Train with Your Petticoat, Mother, The Engineer Might Give You the Slip. lf anyone in the audience would care to invest in some slick chicks, iust call Davenport, 00-2 Short. The owner of this Chickery Chick Chicken Farm is Miss Christine Goslicki. Mr. and Mrs. Alan Clarke lformer Marie Wagnerl have iust dropped in on their way back from their honeymoon which was spent at Hector Falls. Mr. Clarke is Dean of Men at Cornell University. Get up off your knees, everyone, this is iust an informal visit. Miss Harriet Van Vleet is the Dean of Women at Cornell, where she is giving the Co-eds quite a bit of competition. We are now drinking a toast to Miss Joyce Worth who has iust been elected the first Woman Senator. Miss Beatrice McDonald crashed Hollywood in her heliocopter and made such a forceful landing that they decided she was the catch of the year and signed her to a 30 year contract. She is now appearing in the picture The Men in My Life directed by the one and only Royce Green. i'24i Miss Gwen Coleman iwith the E like the mustardl has iust returned from another of her sight seeing tours to Nagasaki and thereabouts where she shows the bulging eyed tourists the points of interest concerning the atomic bomb of 45 . The next thing as unbelievable as the atmoic bomb was the graduation of the class of 46 . Over in the corner we see Connie sitting on her husband's lap taking the part of his secre- tcrry. She trusts no other women. Marilyn McGuire made such a hit with the crmy with her new slush pump invention, that General Cassidy made her his co-worker. She i: now general in charge of the WAC's. Miss Dorothy Quinn that l said it and l'm glad girl has her own very successful radio program now. During the day she appears in such serials as John's Other Mother-in-law ishe's the Mother-in-lawl and Blot on My Past. ln the last one she is the Blot. Miss Ruth Nielsen, our Editor-in-Chief has really put her writing ability to good use. The book of the month club of which she is in charge has just put forth to the public her latest novel lt Comes From a Good Source. Miss Harriet Ross taking over Lorenzo Jones' place as inventor has just invented a new de- vice to wave the eyebrows. Miss Betty fhalf-pintl Kinne has iust recovered from an accident and is hobbling around on a cane, she being so small she was run over by a small boy on a scooter as he did not see her. We now see entering Mrs. Donald Robinson the former Miss Clara Ann Maguire, accom- panied by her six little girls. Mr. Robinson is on important business in Hollywood visiting Bing Crosby. Here comes Mrs. Robert Lewis now and her Fleet. Mrs. Lewis is the former Dixie West. She now lives in Ohio with her husband Skippy and their five sons. I just got a glimpse of our class red-head, Josephine Tobey. She and her husband have iust closed the deal which gave them the right to live in the Caywood Court House. She is the iudge who tries all the criminals while Johnny sees that the iail is kept spic and span. We see Dolores is still trying to make up her mind as to what her career will be. She is try- ing to decide among dramatics, secretarial, doctoring, nursing, movies, teaching and many others too numerous to mention. At present she is hoofing it at the Copacabana Club chorus third in line from the left. Clarissa has iust come in and she tells us that Bill White finally returned from the seven seas. They expect to be married in the near future. We regret to say that Captain Ray Van Nostrand U. S. Navy, the former husband of Marie Bell, daughter of the famous Admiral Bell is in Reno at this time and will be unavoidably de- tained. They are beginning to call him Tommy Mannville the second. Once again, like all good things, the Alumni Banquet must come to a close. We see that a good time was had by all. flt says here in fine print at the bottom of the page.J BY Dixie West Clarissa Stewart Barbara Bowers Clara Ann Maguire Class of 46 if 25 at LAST WILL AND TESTAMENT We the members of the class of nineteen hundred and forty-six, being of sound mind and body Iso rumor has iti do hereby draw up this last will and testament.

SCHOOL CALENDAR Vacation over-school begins. Oh, what a beautiful morning . . . Band played for V day celebration. Band made a return engagement. Faculty picnic. The faculty took time to recuperate from the chaos of the first few days of school. Who can blame them! The school was a live wire on this day, for it was the day the student council representatives were chosen. Voting day! No, not for president of the United States, but for our class officers, who take upon their should- ers the task of leading the class. Big day for the Juniors-Mrs. Ditmars, too-for the senior rings were ordered. Being iuniors last year we can sym- pathize with you, Mrs. Ditmars. This is a memorable day for the Ag boys, for they had a fair-and it was a success! l went to the animal fair, the birds and the bees were there. . . We filled Red Cross boxes for children in countries ravaged by war. Teachers' Conference. Wonder what they confer about- Hi, ho, come to the fair . . . Tru- mansburg fair. To be or not to be, that is the ques- tion. That is right-Shakespeare, but are this is the day the characters chosen for the senior play. Was that Shakespeare turning over in his grave? Welcome back, Richard-crutches and alll-Richard Jennings returned to school after an absence due to an accident on the football field. Being wounded in action entitles him to the Purple Heart. Fight team, fight! were the sentiments echoed by everyone, as this was the first football game of the season. lt was played at Odessa. Oh, . . . moaned the senior class-play prac- tice tonight! Movie on Russia at War. Benny and his Bluebirds were en- gaged to play for the F.F.A. dance.

We were acquaint- ed with this land at an assembly given by a lady who had spent a good deal of her time there. Abravcadabra, abra cadabra-what happened! What came out of the hat? Look! haw did that happen? What is he going to do next, were cries uttered by a spellbound audi- ence when a magician visited school. Beware, take care or you will be cast under a spell by the witches, for to- night is Hallowe'en Eve. The hall's jumping, the hepcats are in the groove, the band's solid-well reet! Give me some skin, my friend, and let's get on with the dance. ln case you are curious, this refers to the Hallowe'en dance given by the Juniors. Football game at Trumansburg. Movie on History of Aviation. Not one boy fell asleep. Well, girlsf?l Movie-March of Time. Miss Mannix and troop marched, over to Hadley Hall, in Willard, to practice for the play. Scrap paper drive opened. The teachers, in order to see what was being done in other schools, went visiting. Here is hoping they had a good time- Camera, lights, action . . . ! The first presentation of the senior play. Be calm, Miss Mannix. Miss Mannix more confident. The second night of the senior play. First night a success. Whew! the last night of the senior play. The tension that hangs over Miss Mannix and the senior class has nearly diminished. The play over- a success. The iubilant seniors cele- brate. Music festival: Romulus, Interlaken, and Ovid. Happy day! School's closed! Let it snow, let it snow, let it snow . . . No school. Need more be said- Sampson students on vacation, no bus. Some people get all the luck- Dec. 4 Dec Dec Dec Dec. Dec. Dec Jan Jan Jan Jan Jan Jan Jan What is the reason for the seniors pulling their hair and racking their brains? Could it be the essay on in- flation they had to write? How nice-no school again.

Individual pictures taken. Camera in good condition. Basketball game with Interlaken. Score: Ovid 34-lnter- laken 17. Juniors put on a silent play, terrific! Basketball game with Dundee.

May May May Wish I could say there were no school today, but even if it were true, no one would believe me-today being April Fool's day. Oh, boy . . . Easter vacation at last. Sad and forlorn we return to school from Easter vacation. The seniors have one foot in the grave, for today their play is due. Have pity on such as we, Miss Mannix. What man teacher received a May basket? Invitations. The senior class received their graduation invitations. Watch out, kids, that you do not run short. On this day of days the seniors hand their masterpieces into Miss Mannix. Could this literary genius be attri- buted to the fact that what they had to write about was themselves?- ahem-with a little touching up. 29 May June June June June June i Two days off from school. Seniors need them to recuperate. Year books are ready. The day of reckoning has come. Your past catches up with you. Nothing can help you now. Are you doomed, or can you be saved? You will find the answers to these questions when the regents paper reaches Albany. Baccalaureate services. This is the first day the seniors sweat it out in their caps and gowns. Get out the glad rags all you seniors for the big time tonight-the Senior Ball. The end of the road has been reached in our school career, and we have few regrets. Some of us may have wished we had studied a little harder, but other than that, we have derived all the benefits we could out of school life. So to our friends that we leave behind, we say, Adios, mi amigos. Favorite Expression f fo Noted Fond of bition Am nior Se Janie!

The follow- ing officers were elected: President, Gordon Blade, Vice-President, Jane Shaw, Secretary, Jimmy Bradley and Student Council Representatives,, Edward McArdle and Barbara Clarke. Our only activity was to hold a bake sale in order to contribute to the Year Book fund. ln June at Jr. High Commencement we received our certificates of promotion to Senior High School. During our Sophomore year there were a total of 44 members in our class. We elected as President, Barbara Clarke, Vice-President, Jane Gatens, Secretary, Shirley Fulton and Treasurer, Joyce Braisington. Mariorie Peterson and Merle White were our Student Council Representatives. This year our Junior year, we have the following class officers, President, Edward McArdle, Vice-President, Jimmy Ferguson, Secretary and Treasurer, Joe McDonald and Student Council Representatives, Jimmy Bradley and Shirley Fulton. We have held two dances so far, a Hallowe'en Vic Dance in October and our Junior Prom in March, both of which were successes. We are looking forward to several more including the Senior Ball in June. ln January the Jr. Class had charge of an assembly program, for which we presented a pantomime called And the Light Went Out. It was extremely amusing and we do not boast when we say it was enioyed by everyone. 'k34i' SOPHOMORES I runl Rww-M. Miller, E. M. Nicholson, K. Stahl, O. Sahnl, N. Swick, B. Putman, ll. Lovltren, T.

In October we elected the following officers: President, W. Schramn, Vice-President, N. Swick, Sec- retary and Treasurer, R. Roach, Student Council Representatives, B. Putnam and H. Lincoln.

With Miss Mannix as our class adviser there will be many happy days to remember. We elected the following class officers, President, J. Maher, Vice-President, R. Voorhees, Secretary, W.

For the first time, grade assemblies have been given this year. Each room presents an average of three programs for the school year. These consist of dramatizations, recitations, vocal and instrumental music, short plays and games. ln grade 6A there is an organization called The Young American Club which chooses committees to carry out school activities. All grades have contributed very generously to financial proiects of the school, such as Junior Red Cross, The March of Dimes, Billy Duncan Fund, Red Cross Christmas boxes, and bundles of clothing for European relief. ln grade lB, Nancy Rinaldo bought two S25 victory bonds. Grade 5A, Miss Maher's room, gave the largest amount for The March of Dimes , the second largest amount was from Grade 3A, Mrs. Limner's room. Grade 6A, Mrs. Smith's pupils, contributed the largest amount to Junior Red Cross, while Mrs. Fesler's boys and girls sent two sunshine baskets to friends during the year, one to Ann Harding and the other to Billy Duncan. How proud the class of T946 is to report such a wonderful record from the grades! We feel confident that these boys and girls will all make good citizens in a better world-to-be. Would you set your name among the stars? Then write it large upon the hearts of children. They will remember! Have you visions of a finer, happier world? Tell the children! They will build it for you. i40'k GRADE GA I-'ronf R010---lt'llIl Covert, Betty Singer, Billy fnrhett, Richard Bennett, Kevin Ifitmininm, Tlmnizu lhlilfllll, Chestex Fnslieki, Rieh ri rd Keen :i n. qffilllmlR1I1L l,CKj1f' Prest, Ethel Nivisnn, Cecile Hayes, Donna llnnmn, Christene U'C'nnnell, loan llelferon Melvin Bezlrdslee, Rohert Kinne, Fredrick VVhitne-y.

HOW can I afford to go to college or a technical school? HOW can I find out how my abilities compare with those of others in the work I might like to do after school? WHAT are my chances -of getting a iob? These are only samples of the questions for which the Guidance Department tries to help high school people find answers. ln the grades the questions deal with a more general problem of trying to match opportunity and ability of pupils. In all it is a matter of seeing through Johnny in order to see Johnny through. In September 1944 a Guidance Department was organized in the Ovid, Interlaken, and Romulus Central Schools under the direction of Mary-Catherine Hudson, guidance counselor. Through testing, observation, conferences, and analysis, the Guidance Department acts as a co- ordinating agent through which the school can help a pupil to develop his abilities to their greatest extent. Guidance in the grades is largely a matter of helping teachers to determine abilities of pupils through testing and observation. Records of ability and accomplishment are kept in the form of folders for each child from the time he enters school, cumulating information from grade to grade. ln high school the pupil himself begins to be more concerned with guidance as test results are interpreted to him and through discussions and conferences he is led to see his own abili- ties, what opportunities exist for him in the post-school world, and the way in which he can fit together ability and opportunity. Testing in high school includes tests of academic ability, apti- tude, reading, vocational interest, and personality inventories. information on occupational and educational opportunity is offered in the expanding files of facts about iobs and courses in schools and colleges throughout the United States. These files are in the Conference Room of the library which serves as the Guidance office. These files are supplemented by career books in the library. Conferences, at least once with every high school pupil every year, help the pupil in his problem of self-analysis. A number of pupils were able this year to take advantage of trips to nearby schools and colleges, such as Morrisville State Agricultural Technical Institute, Alfred University, Geneseo Teachers College, and others. ln May of this year there was also a Career Day at which speakers told of some of the existing vocational opportunities in agriculture, nursing, business, education, and local businesses. A bulletin, Who? What? Why? How?, was distributed this year to high school pupils in an attempt to aid them in determining how to make the most of existing opportunities. The work of the Guidance Department is really to help students to find themselves. 1 i ,, , Q 39' 'SEQ I um h f K -C73 'jf' F' y:::1 LI'-1 Q C-sf? 7 ff ? 7 4--J ii STUDENT COUNCIL Fir-.rl RMUAK.

The officers are elected by the student body and the faculty advisors are appointed by the Principal. At our first meeting we made out the assembly programs and made plans to have stu- dent monitors in the school. Two monitors are in charge of the cafeteria to see that things are kept in order and two monitors up-stairs in the hall. During one of our assembly programs we had a fund drive for Bill Duncan who was badly burned by fire and has been hospitalized for many months. After a basketball game with Trumansburg we sponsored a Vic dance to raise money for athletic equipment. Earlier in the year we held a paper and clothing drive which was very successful. Posters on cleanliness of rooms were put on bulletin boards in the halls. i'52ir The following are memhers of Ag. l, 2, 3, 4 lfirxl Rnfw-Ray Parish, Freeman Northrup, David Hayes, VVilliam Sweet.

The Click Club is under the direction of Mr. Delfs, our Science teacher. The club has been organized for the past two years, and in it, students learn a great deal about photography. These students learn how to take pictures and develop them in the correct way. There have been many pictures taken around the school: Senior Play pictures, Basketball and snapshots of different activities, which were developed and printed by the club. Photography is a great hobby, and we are all very glad that we joined the Click Club. i'54i SENIOR NATIONAL HONOR SOCIETY .L Clarke, H. Van Vlec-I, R. Nielsen, E. Mmzhdle, H.

His sister and kid brother hint he'd better do a vanishing act be- fore the folks hear of his latest. Even Joan, his girl-friend, is madder than anyone, unless you count her dad, the Principal. Bob had tried to do a magic act in assembly and fouled it all up. Bob decides to skip school a day while things blow over and while he is phoning the prin- cipal and explaining in his father's voice why he is to be absent, father walks in and right there and then decides he has to do something to save Bob's character. Bob had borrowed a formal coat from Joan to use in his magic act and Dickie tore it while demonstrating his dynamic tension. Joan enters and Bob hides the coat in the laundry bag which contains some things that the maid had been ordered to dye bright yellow. Bob gets into more trouble with the police and P.T.A. ladies over some chinchilla he found and almost ends up in iail but everything turns out well in the happy ending.

They are as follows: Barbara Bowers lhead cheerleaderl, Clara Ann Maguire, Dolores Murphy, Marilyn McGuire, and Dixie West, Clarissa Stewart was our substitute and she proved to be very helpful during the season advising us and cheering for anyone absent. We accompanied the teams to all games both home and away and cheered for the Varsity and the J.V's. Barbara and Dolores have been cheerleaders for three successive years and Dixie for two. Clara Ann and Marilyn were elected this year. We want to wish the cheerleaders of next year good luck and hope that they have as many good times as we have had cheerleading. i'70i V M07 W ' K 2 UI Q0 . Q E Ne IOKES MissMannix: What is a geyser?
