:SZ CLASS HI TORY Q31 In September of 1946, a bright-eyed, eager group of little folks had a first taste of school at Unadilla Central, In that kindergarten class were Fred Hust, Hilda French, Chuck Newman, Judy O'Connor, Joe Robertson, Eileen O'Hara, Joyce Shields, Lana Sommers, Ty Tyson, Jim Westcott, Carol Webster, and Pat Nichols QEldredj. We progressed rapidly through the grades, learning the fundamental mate- rial which was to be the basis of our education. Tracey Lambrecht joined us in Rrst grade. Mrs. Newcomb's class sewed painting smocks, while Mrs. Cameron's grade organized a rhythm band. New arrivals in second grade were Bill Kehr, Duff Lawrence, Beth Russell, and Gary Sandike, At Christmas time Mrs. Cole made our silhouettes as gifts for our parents. Marjorie Ingalls became a member of our class in the third grade. Our big accomplishment was learning to write, We remember birthday parties and wall paintings in the fourth grade. That year Beatrice Coddington came to Unadilla Central. Four more members came to us in the fifth grade: Dave Dwight, Clay Conover, Marion Frey, and Anne Wetherbee. In sixth grade Miss Palen's class published THE DOPEY REPORTER, an in- teresting experiment in journalism, The Christmas operetta produced many promising soloists that year, In junior high school we had our first experience with passing to classes. Highlights of those two years were the Albany trip in seventh grade and the Corning Glass tour in eighth grade. Bill Berry, Harold and John Dillenbeck, and Audrey Jones joined our ranks in eighth grade. Our high school years have gone even faster. Sandy Murray came in our Sophomore year, and in our Junior year Georgia Brehm and Jim Archer arrived. Our first financial success was the showing of two Walt Disney movies. The Junior play, 'They Gave Him a Coed, and the Senior play, 'The Skel- eton Walks, as well as the Junior Prom over which Carol Webster reigned as Queen were very successful. The Senior magazine sale was our biggest project. We are looking forward to our trip to Washington and to graduation as the high points of our high school years. In retrospect, we wish that we could do it all over again.
