Barbara Lewis; A. A. Treasurer, Bette Chausse. Under the guidance of Mr. Cornell we presented two suppers which added sizeable sums to our class funds. We returned the following September after our summer vacation with renewed enthusiasm to successfully complete our final year at Sutton High School. W ithout further ado we elected our class officers: President, Roderick Lavallee; Vice-President, Jenny Szewerenka; Secretary, Alice Szewerenka; Treasurer, Bette Chausse. We were immediately confronted with the skeptical problem of raising enough money to meet expenses for the annual Senior trip to vVashington, since we had such a large class. October brought our two major projects: the annual Chicken Supper, which was held on October 17, 1954, and the rehearsing of the Senior play. We successfully presented the play, “June Mad”, to a large audience on November 14. The Senior class sponsored the Valentine Ball, February 13. By selling tonic and candy during the basketball season and also having a few dances, we were able to obtain enough funds for our graduation and Senior trip. We are proud to be the first class to terminate four years at Sutton Memorial High School, and we wish to thank those who have helped make our years at this school a pleasant and worthwhile experience.

Class Prophecy The newspaper advertisement read--“Gail Mathewson to appear at the Metro- politan Opera House--June 15, 1964.” Who would dream that the twenty-five pupils comprising the Class of ’54 would emerge to such noteworthy fame and prominence. Immediately preceding this discovery, each member of the class vowed to himself that he would not miss it. Thus, with absolutely no knowledge of the intentions of the remainder of the class, a reunion was under way. It was still early in the evening of June 15, when a limousine drew to a stop in front of the Metropolitan and a beautifully dressed girl, Loretta Amour, was assisted out by a well dressed man. Alongside the limousine stopped a Cadillac and out stepped Phil Edwards. After much scrutinizing, they recognized each other. Hearty greetings were exchanged; they then fell into conversation, each disclosing what the many years had wrought. Loretta, after leaving S.H.S., got a job with an insurance firm. After six short months she married her wealthy boss and thus retired into a life of leisure. Phil, likewise, did well for himself. He fulfilled his high school ideas of being a farmer. He now owns a successful farm and is making money hand over first. Heading toward the door, they saw a car speeding down the highway and in a flash come to a stop in front of them. They could hardly believe their eyes, when Donald Moore along with his family greeted them. He then joined them in summing up his past ten years. It seems that Doc started a garage business, which turned out quite successfully. Just as the group reached the entrance, they met Judy Freeland. She ]r,.ked sophisticated in her well chosen clothing. Smiling, Judy replied that she was still engaged in her teaching profession. While talking to Judy, they observed an anxious figure pushing her way into the ticket line. ‘‘Why, it’s Janice JernbergI ” She was soon summoned and quickly joined the growing group. Jan briefly explained her oc . atio’ ' -.as nursing. Although she was married, she had taken such a sine re ’ove for it, she could not give it up. Conversation was then resumed, mainly concentrating on th ' ' ' L ss p ay and trip. Right in the midst of laughter and tears, Bette Chausse walkeu th- ' . agh the door. All ‘oh’d” and “ah’d” at the beautiful dress and equisite je elry she wore. Yes, interior decorating and Bette seemed to agree. The happy group pushed their way into the hall. To their great sui ise Bob Craw walked over to them and disclosed after leaving the Navy, he completed a course in Physical Education and is now happy in his work. They then resumed walking. They did not get far when they saw Roy Crandone. But he was not alone; he had Mrs. Crandone and seven little Crandones. Everyone knew Roy’s fame as a baseball player, thus no questions were necessary. Just as they reached the top of the stairs, they came face to face with Richard Caldbeck. He relieved their questions by telling of his profession as an engineer. He said he loved his job and found it very interesting. They had only advanced a few steps, when they saw Shirley Burgess. She was accompanied by her husband and two children. After shedding a few tears on Janice’s shoulder, she revealed that after leaving Sutton High School, she went to college, after which she taught for two years. She is now happy keeping house. The show had already begun when the now enormous group finally reached the seats. In the front row they spotted Edmond Peladeau with Mrs. Peladeau. Roy invited him along with the rest. Ed’s story was short but interesting. He told of his experience as a farmer, having his own farm and enjoying every minute of it.
