ClAA The first one of our thirteen to start school here was Marion Cary. In fifth grade, Beverly Witherell joined her. By the time of the sixth grade there was a trio—Clark Trerise hav- ing entered then. When we met in our seventh year, there were thirty-six members. Our homeroom was room 25 and Mr. Knapp was our advisor. I think the incident we remember best was Mr. Knapp making two of the boys stand up front and snap each other’s ears all period. We paid our dues but because of a lack of sufficient funds, we decided to have our party the following year. In 19 7, we found ourselves downstairs in room I1 with Mr. Fuller as our teacher and advisor. There were twenty-four new members. We paid our dues and had our long planned-for party which came off without a mishap and we had fun. We shared our graduation with the class of 19 +8 and David Place was vale- dictorian. In our freshman year we moved back upstairs again, to room 22 with the new Social Studies teacher, Mr. Pelotte, as our ad- visor. The Regents weren’t as hard as we had feared and we now numbered seventeen. As we were now members of the group known as high school, we were allowed an activity. We decided to sell raffle tickets on a blanket. We felt proud when we were presented with five dollars for being the class which read the most books and had the least number overdue. It was quite a tough race with the seniors though, and they almost beat us. We elected officers and they were: President—Dick Bicknell, Vice President—Clark Trerise, Secretary—Franklin Plantz, Treasurer'—Marion Cary. We missed our English and Social Studies teacher with the Brooklyn accent, Mr. Seaton, who was always threatening to hang us out of the window by our finger nails. We all felt badly when our new English teacher, Miss Williams, died. In 19 9» we became sophomores but were still sitting in the same homeroom with the same teacher. We lost nine members but we gained five more, which left us with twenty-one members. As we were approaching farther up the ladder toward the senior year we were allowed more projects. Again we sold raffle tickets, but this time it was on a pressure cooker. I don’t know what the public thought when a member of our own class won the cooker. We elected officers in September and again in Jan- uary. They were as follows: President—Richard Bicknell, Marion Cary, Vice President—Mark Regan, Floyd Parker, Secretary—Marion Cary, Bernice LaBar, Treasurer—Clark Trerise.

History continued In our Junior year we moved two rooms down the hall to the library and the new homemaking teacher, Mrs, Radway, was our ad- visor. We were more energetic this year. We had three projects, first, a raffle on a blanket, then a food sale, last but not least, the Junior and senior prom. What a time we had! Mr. Taylor had to go to Malone to get the decorative paper we used for the windows. We were led this year by President—Marion Cary, Vice President—Ann Swift, Secretary--Bernice LaBar, Treasurer— Belva Sevey, and Reporter—Clark Trerise. Now we have reached our long and hard worked for goal. We are seniors. We reside in the library with Miss Nuttell as our advisor. We now have priority in all projects. So far we have had a food sale, basketball game, sold Christmas cards, station- ery and taffy. Of course, one or our biggest projects was the senior play. The near tragedy of having the curtain drop on Willie's head will be remembered by all. Those who were once in our class at one time or another are: Wanda Bush, Marion Cary, Colona Cassell, Betty Castle, Joyce Cassell, Dorothy Conklin, Mildred Foster, Doris Holcomb, Joyce Howes, Bernice LaBar, Janis Parker. Louise Perry, Yvonne Planty, Belva Sevey, Ann Swift, Beverly Witherell.

Of the thirty-six members who started together, we now have only thirteen left. The officers are as follows: President— Phillip Snell, Vice President—Clark Trerise, Secretary—Bernice LaBar, Treasurer—Janis Parker, Reporter—Marion Cary. We lost our former Treasurer who was Belva Sevey. The other members of our class are Ann Swift, Loraine Witherell, Malcolm Wilcox, Arnold Strader, William Richards, Louise Perry, Beverly Witherell and Carl Thompson. As this book goes to press we are all busily planning for the senior trip to New York City at Easter. After our trip we will begin preparations for the Junior and senior prom. Then Regents and graduation.
