MEMORIES Let us for a few minutes wander Down Memory Lane with the sixteen members of the Class of T956 who took a Sentimental Journey from Nichols High to Tioga Central on October 31, i955 and became part of a larger class. Do You Remember when, twenty excited Happy Wanderers entered our fresh- man class? The year was a memorable one with Mr. Corrigan, our advisor, di- recting us. In the spring of the year it was Take Me Out to the Ball Game with our class selling refreshments at the games. We didn't accumulate much wealth in that first year, but we had fun selling magazines, candy, tags, and baked goods. My, but we were proud of each accomplishment! Do You Remember when, with the help of Mr. Mahoney, the sophomore year added to our memories? We started with twenty Happy Wanderers but during the year four of them left. We went reminiscing back to the days of A Bicycle Built for Two and put on a Gay Nineties Revue which was the outstanding event of that carefree year. We also sold Nichols shirts, candy, and baked gopds. Little else was accomplished by these gay Sophomores. Do You Remember when, we, the sixteen Happy Wanderers entered our Junior year and were one more step toward our goal! With the help of our director, Mr. Grossman, and our President, Donna Berry, the year was very successful. Our theme that year was Whistle While You Work because we worked hard on the Junior play, Hillbilly Weddin', serving luncheons, and selling cards. Our class rings were Many Splendored Things. Do You Remember when, the sixteen Happy Wanderers entered our last year and were Keyboard Kings? Don Hunt came from Athens and added another note to the scale. The year began by electing our officers who were: President, Tom Donaldson, Vice President, Darryl Middleton, Secretary, Nancy Keeler, and Treasurer, Betty Goble. Much credit must be given to Mrs. Corbin, our director, for the year. We are now working Night and Day for our senior trip to Washington and our final goal . . . GRADUATION.

CLASS HISTORY ln September of T952 our class numbering forty-one entered its first year of a Sentimental Journey. Mr. Meade and Miss Stuhlmiller acted as conductors. They helped us raise money by selling magazine subscriptions. Trophies were awarded to Barbara Wiggins and George Hill for excellent salesmanship. Our first year was accented in June with a class picnic at Watkins Glen and Enfield Glen. The only thing which marred the day of fun was that we were Singing in the Rain on the way home. Thus ended the Unforgettable memories of our first year of high school. Under the directorship of Mr. Phillips and Miss McConnell we began Round-Up Time at T.C.S. for our second lap of the iourney. That year 39 students signed in for the song fest. To enlarge our class treasury the members of the class sold refreshments at basketball games. The year was an unhurried one for most of us. To spotlight the year we took a class trip to Chenango State Park. Although it was cold we enjoyed the food cooked on the outdoor fireplace, the dancing, swimming, and boating on the lake. This was the mid-way point of our iourney. We packed up pencils, papers, and books, said good-bye to teachers and friends and with Time On Our Hands we waited for fall. As Time Goes By, September T954 rolled around. We were now proud Juniors marching along the path of education. With two years behind us and two years to go, we dug in for a busy and crowded year of activities. With Miss Strohl's competent leadership the Tioga Highlights again danced to the surface. Many hours were spent collecting new items for the paper and had it not been for Miss Strohl's help, we surely would have failed. A treasured dream come true was the arrival of our class rings, which every- one wore with pride. We were Waltzing On Air after the success of our spring carnival which was put on by the 35 members of our class and the assistance of Mr. Hayden and Miss Strohl. Another climax of the year was our Junior Prom. A Garden of Memories was the basis for the setting. lt consisted of a wishing well, a rock garden, a fish pond and spring flowers. It was a Little Bit of Heaven that night in May when all the hard work of hanging crepe paper, fixing the Throne, gathering the flowers and the numerous other tasks were completed and the scene finished for 9:00 P.M. The thrilling moment of prom night was the crowning of King Milton and Queen Betty. As in preceding years our year's activities were completed by a class picnic at Chenango Park. With another year behind us we were Drifting and Dreaming for another sum- mer. In T955 we started on the last climb of our iourney knowing full well that there were many tasks to be completed if we were to reach our goal-graduation. Our first achievement of the year was the Senior Play, Hillbilly Weddin', directed by Mr. Mitchell and Mrs. Patterson. Many rehearsals, practicing of parts, and setting up scenery went into the producing of such a good play. The roar of laughter echoed through the auditorium as the curtain went up on opening night. The result of all the hard work was a great increase in our class treasury, making our vision of Washington seem clearer. On October 31, the 27 Seniors at Tioga had the pleasure of welcoming the T6 Seniors of Nichols to our school. A get-acquainted Halloween Party was given for both classes. The party was a success and we united to work on the second edition of the yearbook.
