SCHOOL YEAR 1953-54 Bright and early on September first in fifty-three, The Parishville Central School opened officially. The football season began right away, And about our team there is lots to say! On the night before our big game against S. L. C, We had a big pep rally and it helped us win, by gee! Best of all we got the championship! We said we’d do it and we didn’t slip. After the season was all done We had a banquet, just for fun. The seniors explained activities before the assembled school So the new students would know how to live by the rule. In October we had a Halloween party; It was lots of fun and we all ate hearty. A talent assembly was given next; Then another, that had Book Week for it's text. The seniors held their play on the twelfth of November, It was presented twice more in the month of December. Basketball season started off real well; We beat S. L. C.; that made us feel swell! The Christmas assembly was loads of fun, With a play, and singing, and food for everyone. Christmas vacation finished very soon And right after that midyear tests did loom. In January, the temperature dropped to the floor So school aid not keep a couple of days or more. The library had several movie programs throughout the year; A great many people came to see them from far and near. In March, the basketball playoffs were held in Malone. We took one of the awards to keep for our own. A Student Council was begun this spring; For Parishville this was quite a new thing. At Easter, the seniors went to New York City That the trip went too fast was the great pity. The Volley Ball Tournament and the Speaking Contest kept April alive, For those who for an all-around personality do strive.

ALPHABET CONTINUED S stands for Swift, also for Snell These two boys will somehow do well. T is for time which wings its swift way Through our schooldays, bringing cares and fun so gay. U means us, our class one and all Without cooperation we would have been sure to fall. V means the victories won by our class The efforts we’ve made are rewarded at last. W is for William, Billy or Will, No matter which you call him, he’s ours still. I is a letter which we cannot define It no doubt means much, but there's a blank in our mind. T is for yeaterday, the time that is past The future holds more, but memories will last. Z marks this alphabets' end—now we're done Even if the verse is halting, we’ve still had funl Student Council President-Gertrude McRobbie Secretary-Jeanne Daniels Adult Advisor-Mr. Sullivan This year the students decided to set up a Student Council. This was an undertaking of the students and Mr. Corbin favorablyraccepted the idea. Each class has two representatives, its president and one other member chosen by ballot. The Student Council is an organization that represents the student body. It does not merely restore lost notebooks and help to get activities rolling, it helps to teach the students self-discipline, self-control, and help them to make wise decisions. This gives them practice in accenting responsibilities and making and carrying out their own laws. The Student Council has no real authority for tne discipline of the students. They may make suggestions but the final decision is left up to the Principal. So far our Council has been making a start by writing to several different sources for information to help to get organized. It has discussed such things as funds, member- ship pins and the time of meetings.
