CLASS lllSTORY 1947-1948-The history of our class began as we assembled for the first time in the kindergarten of the old Babcock School, since demolished. The following June we considered ourselves grown up when we staged our first graduation, complete with mortar boardsv and diplomas, in the old gymnasium with our proud parents looking on. 1948-1949-This year we started each day by counting from one to one hundred. And who will ever forget Dick and Jane?U 1949-1950-Mrs. Bentham substituted for a part of the year, after our teacher, Mrs. Baker, suffered a broken nose. At Christmas time we all enjoyed the com- munity singsu in the main hall of the old school. 1950-1951-In November, the cornerstone of the present Babcock School was laid, with our names sealed inside. This was the year of the switch from lettering to writing. Our class picnic at Sunset Bay Park proved to be an enjoyably wet affair. VVe all fell in-accidentally. 1951-1952-When we returned from Christmas vacation, we moved into the beauti- ful new elementary school. The grand finale of the year was a trip to the zoo and the Buffalo Museum of Science. Saving all those pennies had really proved worth while! 1952-19534Introduced to Citizenship Awards, we vied with each other for the honor of wearing a badge. Romeo Glasgow,s troubles started here, because he insisted on having so many girl friends at one time. 1953-l9544When we weren't writing out spelling wordsf' we found time for riot- ous parties. The terrible triangle of the year included Gen Barreca, Art Ray, and Sally Bentham. 1954-1955-Now having left elementary school behind, we were in the Main Street Building, in seventh grade, enjoying our first year in junior high, our first class meeting, and our first dance. 1955-1956-After our visit to the Ford Plant, half a Ford car was reported missing, in parts, that is! On the serious side, we had our first introduction to Regents Examinations this year. 1956-1957-We survived the drop from the top rung of junior high to the bottom of the senior high ladder. Our successful Sadie Hawkins and Spring Feverf' dances, coupled with a pencil sale, added to our growing bank account. 1957-1958-Who was The Hound? Would a well-known disc jockey really be our M.C.? Somebody's brainstorm brought out the crowds to our sophomore dance. Some were disappointed and others amused when Linda's canine pet made his grand entrance. 1958-1959-Our rings arrived just before Christmas, and we were all anxious to see who would be the first to lose his. The boys began a dress better for schooln movement. Our prom, with Bonnie Secrist as queen and Ray Glasgow as king, was the first dance with a really big band. On June tenth some of us played or sang at the ceremonies on the site of the new Junior-Senior High School Building. Then our signatures, along with those of other students and teachers, were sealed in the cornerstone. 1959-1960- Pete Riquelme-Reyes, our A.F.S. student from Chile, joined the class, along with Joe Rocco, Don Smith, and former member Jack Peacock. Our senior year passed swiftly from one highlight to another, from Senior Play, The Babbling Brooks, and our Christmastime Prom to Class Night and Graduation Exercises in the new school. After thirteen years and four schools, we, the Class of 1960, are looking forward to the new chapter about to open. 12
