RICHARD PRIOR ROSEMARY GLAZIER The original school burned in 1926 and was rebuilt in 1927. The picture at the left shows the laying of the cornerstone. An addition to this building was made on the South side of the present building in 1938. The school was centralized in 1926, after the old building burned, and Santa Clara, Dickinson Center, and Nicholville were annexed in 1953. Now over 500 fill the building and the faculty is made up of 22, plus 5 teachers from the co-op board. Atthistime, plans are being completed for an additional wing on the North side of the present building. Of the first graduating class in 1894, only Mr. W. Wardner of Saranac Lake survives. Overt Parks, Edith O'Neil MacDonald, and H. E. O'Neil were the other members of the class. 1957 marks the 50th anniversary of the class of 1907. Mr. John Blood was principal. Anabel Green, Myrtle Griffin of Cortland, and the late Earl N. Weller composed the class.

CLASS HISTORY Any University September 1957 Dear Mom and Dad, Well, here I am sitting in my dorm thinking how much different this is than when I entered my Freshman year at high school. The gang is separated now; some in the service, some married, some working and some at other colleges. However, I will never forget those green, giggling Freshmen, including new students from Santa Clara and Dickinson Center, entering study and high school for the first time. To show off our new status as freshmen we elected class officers: Barry Barkley, President; Don Debuque, Vice President; Jane Ward, Secretary; Joan Besaw, Treasurer; Ronnie Leffler and Joan Besaw, Student Council; and Mr. Whiteside, Class Advisor. To prove what a talented class we were, we won a prize for the best window painting, at Halloween, but, our one and only money-making project was a bake sale which netted us $15! Our Sophomore year was uneventful, yet one spent swiftly and happily. We were only bid- ing our time. With Don Debuque, President; Jane Ward, Vice President; Diane Forkey, Secre- tary; Rosalie Susice, Treasurer; Marlene Martin and Barry Barkley on Student Council; and Mr. Sharpstene, Advisor, we proceeded to dig in to study. There were two outstanding Sophomore basketball players — Richard Prior and Barry Barkley; Janie Ward, as one of the Varsity Cheer- leaders, cheered our team to victory. Our Junior year was an exciting year for us. Gee! I don't think any of us realized how fast a year could go by. We organized quickly and elected Barry Barkley, President; Jane Ward, Vice President; Mar- lene Martin, Secretary; Richard, Treasurer; Rosalie and Donnie, Student Council; and Mrs. Mendelsohn, Advisor. Many of us joined the typing Band which put on an assembly program under the baton of Joanie Besaw. Our class started the year off with the first big dance of the season. This included the floor show for which the Junior classes are MOST famous. The whole class enjoyed making Christmas corsages and wreaths. What a wreath making night we had! Everyone had his fill of the half-raw hamburgers prepared by that great chef, Charles Rockhill. June came much too soon — yearbook planning with a supper meeting at Mrs. Mendelsohn's home was fun and successful. The Junior-Senior banquet held at Hotel Moira closed our year. Barry Barkley was the wonderful master of ceremonies. The girls had corsages and the boys boutonnieres made by the girls. September 1956 — we were seniors, busy with homework, tests, college entrance exams, and moneymaking projects. Don Debuque, President; Rosalie Susice and Barry Barkley, Student Council; Janie Ward, Vice President; Diane Forkey, Secretary; Marlene Martin, Treasurer and Miss Harvey, Advisor. Joan Besaw, after a strenuous campaign, was elected President of the Stu- dent Council. Boy, we were really a top-notch class excelling in many ways. The magazine campaign brought in a highest total of $311. 09. Our Miss Brooks brought in the top play re- ceipts of $87. 95. Never will I forget Joan Besaw as Miss Brooks; Richard as the coach; (ab-lib- bing throughout the entire play); Don Debuque with his English Accent; and Marlene M., as Jane, feeding the butterflies in her stomach. Marlene Martin, Joan Besaw, Rosalie Susice, Diane Forkey and Joan Besaw attended ESSPA Convention in Syracuse and brought home the All New York State rating for the SIREN for the second time, and a cup for the best Editorial Page, and also a cup for Pudgy Hathaway's silk screen cover. The various Vic dances were socially and financially successful through the year. The Hun- ter’s Ball netted $57. The big senior carnival added $356. The Junior-Senior banquet and the Senior Prom were successful. The Seniors added another first: we went to both Washington and New York on our Senior trip. What a wonderful and memorable time! After last minute cramming for regents (it was worth it) the crowning point of our career came -- Commencement night. What memories! A college freshman
