QThe memory of these days will always remam us, the fellowship with the other students, the guidance of the teachers and the learning we acquiredj Miss Kittell, our adviser, has been with us and guided us throughout our process of maturing and becoming worthy seniors. In our freshman year we elected Walter fSonnyj Becker our class president, and he has held this title during our four years of high school. Some of the members of the class, belonging to I.R.C.,' went on a trip to' New York City for a few days. While there we visited the United Nations and several other places of interest. Another high light of our freshman year was carrying through the tradition ot the school by our sponsoring the Commencement Dance for the seniors. The following year we participated in the County Play Festival, presenting the play Elmer. We had fun casting this play and it was considered a success by all who saw it. With our social studies adviser, Mr. Pealer, we enjoyed a few evenings of learning to bowl at the Cobleskill bowling alleys. In the fall of the year we went to Thatcher Park for our class picnic. The annual event of our junior year was the crowning of Doris DeGroff and Walter Becker as our Prince and Princess of the junior Prom l, -. r with Dorothy Schell, Marlene Kelley, Charles Wright and Edward Keyser as attendants. - Twice we went to The Playhouse in Albany with our English instructor, Mrs. Frisbie, to see the plays Our Town and You Can't Take It With You. Edward Keyser was honored by being chosen by the faculty to represent S.C.S. at Empire Boys' State at Colgate University. That year we went to Caroga Lake onpour class picnic. The most fun we had that day was riding in the scooter cars on the Midway. Our senior year was an eventful one which was different from that of other seniors due to three new activities and one new subject in S.C.S. Ten seniors took the new driving train' ing course and found it a most worthy one. The three new activities were the Future Teachers' Club, the bowling leagues and Outing Club. Three seniors, Arvilla Hayes, Shirley Zeh, and Jane Santer were enrolled in the F.T.A. Club. We all found that this organiza' tion is a valuable one because it gives you good experience inthe teaching field. Ski Club and the bowling leagues gave us healthy exercise and helped us to learn to cooperate with our fellow students and to be good sports. One of the biggest undertakings in our sen' ior year was the magazine drive which. proved most profitable. The best salesman turned out to be Willard Shultes and runner up was Charles Wright.

We had three dances-The Senior Sock Dance where we danced in our socks, the Mistletoe Hop and a vic dance. All were a success both socially and financially. In March of this year we sponsored a pan- cake supper at Gallupville. It was well attended and we seniors had a merry time waiting on tables. During the basketball season we had the conf cession on candy and soda at all home games. The only point we didn't appreciate was clean' ing up afterwards. One of our biggest money making proposi' tions in high school was the numerous skating parties we had. Being well attended they proved to be quite an addition to our treasury. Bake sales were also profitable. Every year members of the senior class are chosen for the National Honor Society. Those who obtained this goal worked hard through their high school years and deserve the credit given them. All through our high school years, we looked forward to our senior trip to New York and Washington. Finally the time came and on March 26 we left Albany by train for New York City. While in New York, we visited N.B.C. Radio and Television studios. After remaining there that night, we left the next morning for Washington, D. C. During our four days in Washington we visited many points of interest: the Supreme Court Building, Lincoln Memorial, Arlington National Cemetery, Wash' ington Monument and the Smithsonian Insti' tute. One evening while we were there we attended a dance given for all members of the Empire Group. This experience was one which we will always remember as it was the last time we were all together in a fellowship group. On our return home after a very enjoyable vacation we started to work on our Senior Ball. With a great deal of hard work we gave a sucf cessful dance. And now to the classes that follow, the class of 1951 extends its wishes for happy and pros' perous senior years to come.
