Through be Ham T was a cloudy morning as I remember, and at nine o'clock there was a crash of thunder and I' the heavens poured down rain. That was in 1937 when our class of seniors started on their way through Schoharie Central School. I am sure you can remember Ross Saddlemire crying for his mother and Francis Stevens running around hugging his teddy-bear. The others who were with us on that first fateful day were Jeanne Warner, Floyd Guernsey, Shirley Warner, Jolm Pryor, Ethel Beacraft, Donald Becker, Warren Wisley, June Klahr, Roger Krall and Joan West. Mannette Mann joined our group in the second grade, and we proudly produced a play for assem- bliy and sang Run, Rabbit, Run. During our third grade year Ramona Francher and Lois Castle a ded their names to our ranks. We became actors again that year and produced a tpatriotic play with the sixth grade. We remember also that Donald Becker was taken over the knees o Mrs. Keyser, our third grade teacher, at least once a day. In the fourth grade we again added new members with the addition of Catherine Torok, Shirley Mann, Evelyn Gaige, Leona Hotaling, Shirley Hunter, Ruth Shroh and Harvey Stoddard. By the time we reached the fifth grade we had grown by leaps and bounds, then Herbert Luhr, Joan Case, Hermine Jentzsch, William Aclmer, Agnes Holt and Margaret Livingston became members of the class of 1950. Our sixth grade was quite a year. Not only did Joseph McCormick and Lucille Lester join us, but we put on a production of the famous story, Rip Van Winkle , under the able direction of Miss Nunweiler. Romance bloomedg Joseph McCormick and Joan Case saw only each other, and Jeanne Warner kissed a certain blonde every night outside the door. We cannot seem to remember much about our seventh and eighth grade years-probably because we were too busy getting into mischief. We do recall, however, that John Fero joined us in the sev- enth grade, and in the eighth grade a brunnette from New Jersey whom we know as Barbara Zanger became a member of our group. Our ninth Igrade year was a memorable year. Dick Hotaling became one of us. Besides putting on the plays, enry's Mail Order Wife and Foul Play at the Brown's, we sponsored the Com- mencement dance for our dear senior pals. It was extremely embarrassing when-through a misunder- standing two orchestras arrived, however, we all remember Mrs. Shannon s bouncing around with a law book under her arm and coming to our defense with vehemence. It was a profitable dance because we did not come out in the red, we made a profit of sixty cents! In om' sophomore year we were busy making money, we sponsored roller skating parties and bake sales. Helen Marshall, the girl with the Southern drawl, came from Mississippi that year, and our imitater Frank Demetrowitz joined us also. For our contribution to assemblies we produced A Day in the Doctor's Office with almost everyone participating. Last year, our junior year, was one of many startling events. To begin with we were still grow- ing. Robert Mason, Betty and Barbara Brown were added to our roll call. We sponsored a variety show that fortunately netted us almost three hundred dollars. Jeanne Warner and John Pryor were chosen Prince and Princess of our Junior Prom with Joan West, Ramona Fancher, John Fero and Herbert Luhr as attendants. The one thing we remember above everything in our Junior year is the untiring efforts of our class adviser, Mrs. Wood, who with her excellent guidance and kind understand- ing solved our many perplexing problems. Now we are, at last, seniors. On our first day this year we were greeted by our new adviser, Miss Horan, who is helping us with her patience and kindness, for we realize that many times we must be very trying. In September, Richard Saddlemire came to Schoharie from Voorheesville. We are very happy to have with us Melvi Melts who came in January from Estonia, and we hope to know her mucn better in the next few months. So far this year we have produced another successful variety show and are working very hard on the yearbook with Mrs. Frisbie, who will have a few more gray hairs before this book goes to press. We are making plans for a big square dance, our senior trip to Washington and our Senior Ball. As we look back on our years at Schoharie Central, we realize they have been very happy ones, and we hope we have in some small way contributed to the spirit that makes our school a fine one-one from which we are proud to be Alumni. 25
