Class Highlights The Class of '59 began its odyssey in September 1946, in the old school, which has recently come to be known as the A g. building , the following year we attended second grade in the Child's building, which is no longer standing, Third grade found us in the Whitley House, now the Wm. Goldsmith residence, and the Ag, building' again welcomed us in our fourth year, Fifth grade marked an important advancement in our education when we moved into the new building. The rooms weren't finished fno heat, only beams for ceilingsy, but we were certainly proud of our new home, Before we entered high school we had visited Hyde Park, home of Franklin D. Roosevelt, Vanderbilt Mansion, Washington's Headquarters in Newburgh, and West Point, All of these trips were both educational and enjoyable, In our first two years of high school, we sponsored traveling bake sales, which were very successful, Our Junior Prom, 'Japanese Nocturne, proved to be one of the most outstanding and elegant events of our high school career, both financially and socially, We changed tradition by surprising fellow stu- dents, families, and faculty with a buffet supper. Norm Loeffel furnished fine music for dancing, which was enjoyed by everyone. This, our last year at Tri-Valley, has been a truly wonderful one, and we have many pleasant memories of it to carry with us in the future, Our play, Charley's Aunt, was another unmistakable success, under the excellent direc- tion of Mrs. Hill, We worked hard, but we were well rewarded and we had a lot of fun doing it. On December 15, we gave the Graharnsville Fire Department their annual dinner, Mr. and Mrs, Schulte and Mrs. Hamilton, of the cafeteria staff, Mrs. Allotta, and Miss White helped to make this a success. Again we worked hard, but it was a lot of fun as well. Winter Wonderland, our last outstanding activity, added a great deal of Christmas spirit and a good time was had by all, The Tri-Valley Ballroom was artistically decorated and Norm Loeffel again furnished the music. Through all of these successes, there is one person who seconded us all the way, Mr. Condon. His encouragement, as our homeroom advisor for the last two years, is deeply appreciated. Now we are approaching graduation, Although we have decreased in num- ber, our class spirit has increased through the years, To those who read this book, this page may not seem very important. But to the Class of '59, to those who have laughed and cried together in the face of different situations, it is very special, This is OUR class, and we'l1 never forget it.
