LASS EM .In the year of forty-one A group of tots had just begun To start a career and then success, For this was our first year at S.C.S. We learned many things While in grammar school, Among them the three R's And the Golden Rule. The years passed quickly, We thought we were great When we entered high school In forty-eight. By the time we were Juniors We were well on our way With dances and concessions, And our Junior Play. Now at last we're Seniors, In the world we take our place. We thank our teachers in preparing us 9' 9 , Qmaiwuz 26 For the problems we will have to face.

CLASS HI TORY At the County Firemen's. Convention held in Sherburne that summer after school was out, we sold refreshments to add to our small bank account. Our Sophomore year started out with almost everyone glad to be back. Miss Starratt and Mr. Kenny were our class advisors and Bob Ingram our class president. Now that we were sophomores it was our turn to carry out the annual Sadie Hawkin's Dance. Using the comic strip characters, L'Abner and Daisy Mae, the' dance at Dogpatch was a huge success. To promote the Crusade for Freedom in Sherburne Central School, the class prepared and presented a skit emphasizing the purpose of the Cru- sade. It seems as if we had the dramatic spirit that year because when Christmas rolled around we produced The Fight Before Christmas with the aid of Mr. Fox, our English teacher. The lead role of the little brat was played by Bob Ingram. Meanwhile, many of our classmates were very ac- tive in sports, music, and other activities of the school. It is said that our class has contributed more to athletic and musical events than the aver- age class at S. C. S. - IG ' ,I I . K nfs.- L Time rapidly passed by. It seemed as if our summer vacation had just begun when it was time to come back to school where we would be juniors. It felt good to become important but most of us al- so realized the responsibilities expected of us. We had the study hall for our homeroom with Mr. Kenny as advisor and Nashe Saba as president. The activities for the year were immediately or- ganized. First on the list came the school fair where we sold popcorn, fudge, and hotdogs Qevery- thing that the seniors didn't sellj. Financially, we were quite successful, even though we almost burned up the popcorn machine. The annual maga- zine selling contest between the juniors and seniors was next eagerly undertaken. We sold many sub- scriptions, but somehow we didn't sell enough to beat the seniors. This loss only made us want to work all the harder on the next year's contest. That year a championship football team was at- tained of which eight out of the eleven first string players were juniors. The problem of a class newspaper was tackled next and it was decided that we would try our hand at journalism. Our monthly class newspaper was called the Junior Jumble. A junior play, Seventeenth Summer , was successfully staged in the Spring under the direction of Mr. Speer. Betty Ann Reese, Jack Borreson and Jack Howard did a fine job in the leads. The axmual Junior Prom ended the year's fund raising activities. A false ceiling made the terrace setting very effective. Nancy Miller and Dean Record were crowned Queen and King of the event. The school year drew to a close with the much dreaded final and regents examinations. September 8, 1953- the day had arrived when we became seniors! We were supposed to be dig- nified but that may be debatable. Because our previous advisor, Mr. Kenny, had left S. C. S. to go to Africa, a new advisor was selected. Mr. McCarty stepped in and has done an efficient job. This year we could determine those items which we wanted to sell at the school fair. The juniors felt that we were mongers because we sold just about everything except ice cream. Again it was time for the yearly contest of magazine sales be- tween the juniors and seniors. We won! There were almost twice as many juniors as seniors and therefore the competition was on a percent- age basis Qthank goodnessj. Time was passing and we had much to do to complete the yearbook. As this book goes to press, we will be planning ways to earn more money for our senior trip, which will follow our graduation in June - - with the usual Pomp and Circum- stance. Q? P 59 g.
