Class Historg 'Way back in September '39, our first undertaking as a Freshman class was to elect our officers. The class was served by President, Bob Nichols, Vice-President, Kay El- dredge, Secretary, June Mueller, and Treasurer, Dick Dyer. Our Student Council repre- sentatives were Gloria Rankin and Frank Heisler. After the annual murder by the Sopho- mores, we returned the compliment with a freshman return party. ln October we enjoyed our first class affair by having a Hallowe'en costume party. One of the highlights of the year was a picnic at Powder-Mill Park. This, in itself, was highlighted by the fact that several girls went swimming in their gym suits. Our Sophomore Class was under-the direction of Jack Spellman. Margaret Con- naughton and Richard Dyer served as Student Council representatives and June Mueller again acted as secretary, with Pat Palmer as Vice-President, and Jim Cufari as treasurer. The present Juniors well remember that we held the upper hand at initiation. Along with the snow came our mid-winter sleigh ride which later turned into a jam-fest in the gym. We terminated the year by giving the traditional Sophomore Flop. Our superb Sophomore confidence melted rapidly the next year since we were under the discerning Seniors. We took more notice of the Seniors and their executives than ever before and, even though we wouldn't admit it, we found ourselves envious of their posi- tion. During the year, many of us bought Junior rings and flaunted them proudly. Kay Eldredge was elected President, with Bob Nichols, June Mueller, and George Hopkins as her assistants. Jean Legan and Richard Dyer served on Student Council. As the year drew to a close, we gave the much-anticipated Junior Prom. The dancers swayed in and out in front of a gay patio under crepe-paper streamers and balloons to the music of Bob Bruce, At last the eventful year arrived! While we were proud of our position, we were un- certain and lonesome for our friends of last year's Senior Class, nevertheless, it was nice to feel the admiring glances of the Freshmen. Despite the interruptions that were caused by the defense program, we found time to elect George Hopkins President and Dick Harris Vice-President, with Gladys Webster and Margie Babcock serving as Secretary and Treasurer, respectively. This year Marv Hop- kins ond Robert Nichols were elected for Student Council. The most important decision we made as a class was the turning over of the yearbook to o High School Staff, rather than publishing it ourselves. The big occasion of the first half of our Senior year was the Senior Ball, given the 23d of December in the gym which was transformed intoa Virgin Forest by the use cf tin- sled stars and snowy evergreens. In a meeting in March, Richard Dyer was elected Vice-President, since Richard Har- ris had graduated in January. At this some meeting a Class Historian, June Mueller, Prophet, Geraldine Mears, and testator, Robert Nichols, were also elected. Now as the year is drawing to a close, we are making plans for a spring picnic. The four years in high school have seemed long and never-ending, but now that we are at the close of them, it seems that they have gone all too fast. All of us will remember the good times that we have had here and will forever hold Pittsford High dear to our hearts. 8
