CLASS POEM , We, the Class of '56, Are on the last mile home. Soon we leave our school To settle down or roam. Wonderful memories we leave here Of days that used to be: Days filled with happiness. But never misery. Now, as we prepare to leave, Our childhood is gone. Children we no longer are, We’re grown-ups from now on. Good luck to all in future years. May your every wish come true. Now as we say, Farewell, We truly add, Thank you. By Charlotte Losee

CLASS HISTORY As hosts and hostesses of our Farewell Party, we feel that you should certainly know more about us. And so here is our history--complete with trials and tribulations. It was September 7, 1943, when our class first entered the halls of Sherburne Central School. We began as a class of thirty-two and soon became well acquainted with our school and its system. Our first years were quiet years. And then in fifth grade we be- came hobby conscious. Also during that year we wrote and acted in our Indian Play. Almost before it seemed possible we were in Junior High School. It was 1950 and the class had increased because of classmates from Smyrna and North Norwich. It felt wonderful to be a little bit independent in an entirely new routine. In September 1952 we entered our Freshman year with high hopes for our high school career. Immediately we began to think about our Senior trip to New York and there was an empty treasury to be filled. Our first project was a winter dance, aptly named the Crystal Ball. Our officers were Sally Fagan, President; June Whaley, Vice President; Patty Adsit, Secretary; and Beverly Button, Treasurer. We were guided by Miss Sartwell and Mr. McCarty, our Class Advisors. And there were other things to do--many clubs and organizations to join. As Sophomores we still kept planning for that Senior Trip and sponsored two more dances. The traditional Sadie Hawkins Dance was a big success. Our Toyland Dance featured our girls dressed up in short skirts and bows in their hair. And our hard working officers that year were Sallie Runyon, President; Courtney Packer, Vice President; An- thony Saba, Secretary; and Joan Baker, Treasurer. Miss Simon and Mr. Lynch were the Advisors. We'll never forget our Junior year because it brought the excitement of being upper- classmen with our own homeroom. We were in competition with the Seniors now and desperately we tried to win die Magazine Sales but didn't quite succeed. But our School Fair booth was another money-maker and just about everyone read our newspaper the Maroon Glimpse. We selected Basil Anagnost and Sally Fagan to attend the Good Citizenship Conference and Anthony Saba and Basil were our delegates to Boys State We were thrilled to at last receive our class rings. The final big event of the year was our Evening In Paris Junior Prom. Liz Vahue reigned as queen with Roberta Ellis and Barbara Conrad as the court. And so that about brings us up to the present. As Seniors we have taken on new re- sponsibilities and we have been looking toward the future. It seems like there have been a thousand and one Senior activities--a Bake Sale, Senior Snowball, a mag- azine contest and many others. And our largest project was this 1956 OPUS. Soon we will reach our goal--graduation and a Senior trip. But let us never forget these mem- ories.
