CLASS HISTORY As I was browsing among the old worn volumes in our bookroom one day, I saw a new book in a bright red binding. I climbed on a chair, pulled the book -down from the shelf, and on the cover were the following words in brilliant gold lettering. History of the Class of 1950. Knowing that our class had not yet graduated, it seemed very mysterious. Who could have written this book? I turned to page one; the first thing I spotted was a picture of our old classmates, taken in 1946. They were: David Ball, Frank Franklin, Donald Orcutt, Lewis Rote, Alan Gould, Lovina Bradley, Nancy Cartinelli, Anita Charbonneau, Cornelia Crosier, Mary Dutcher, Joanne Hartley, Agnes Hewins, Laurette Kirchner, Margaret Maloney, Kathryn Moesley, Elinor Nourse, Marie Sidelinger, Jean Sidelinger, Laura Straleau, Patricia Whalen, and Minnie Wilhelms. Page two read as follows: On a warm September day in 1946, twenty-one pupils gathered together in Room 4, full of anticipation and misgivings as to what the next four years held for them. However, due to the efficiency of their teachers and principal, they were soon busily engaged in their various tasks, and before they knew it the year had passed. During their first year they had the following teachers: Gladys Roraback, who was appointed Class Advisor, Mrs. Leaf green, Mr. Spriggs, Mr. Williams, and Miss Larkin. These teachers, under the leadership of Mr. Hartley, the principal, helped the class be- come acquainted with its new environment. At the opening of school, the Sophomore year, it was found that three members of the class were not returning, Elinor Nourse, Minnie Wilhelms, and Marie Sidelinger. Roma Weser, however, joined the class and it was minus three plus one to make the membership nineteen. Mr. Spriggs left the school at this time and Mr. Martin took his place, then during the latter part of the year Mr. Martin left and his duties were assumed by Mr. McCann. When Junior year rolled around, Mr. Hartley who had been our Principal since 1944, left Sheffield to become the Principal of the high school at Stow, Massachusetts and Mr. Hennigar was appointed in his stead. Miss Larkin also departed ana was replaced by Miss Hannigan. At mid term Mr. McCann left to return to active duty in the U.S. Army and Mr. Mather took his place. Joanne Hartley was no longer with us and Russell Upton came to Sheffield and was enrolled In the class. As the class convened to start its Senior year those who were left felt that they had finally reached a point in their arduous Journey where they could see their goal in the not too far distant future. 20
