Glass of 'LM Dear Mrs. Wz'll1'ams: Last week we held the last class meeting of our school career, and it was a majority vote that we tell you the history behind our small but loyal class. Twelve years ago Jack Hemenway, Samuel Skandera, John Hubiak, Evelyn Gerhardt, and Eleanor Nabinger, entered the first grade, with a smile on their faces and mischief in their eyes. As the small country schools closed, others joined in on the fun. Then about two-thirds of our class came from Jordanville in the seventh grade. when our enthusiasm was the highest. When we were the happy-go-lucky, giggling freshmen, there were thirty-five of us under the supervision of Frederick Price. We felt very proud to elect our class officers for the first time as a high school unit. They were Derward Gifford, president: Virginia Sherman, vice- president: Betty Katovitch, secretary: and Nicholas Malincheck, treasurer. We launched our year's activities with a football dance in the fall. Our football boys were to be admitted free if they won their game. and sure enough, they did. Next was the Valentine dance. The high school put on a circus, which we took part in by sponsoring the Fish Pond. Another thing that all freshmen looked forward to with Mr. Price, were his humorous stories of Kyoti Bill. So every noon we possibly could, we'd gather together for a few min- utes of laughs with Mr. Price. A year later we were sophomores with some of our members gone, but new ones joining us. Officers were elected as we kept on our journey to complete our four years: Raymond Bay- nard, president: Nicholas Malincheck, vice-president: and Virginia Sherman, secretary-treas- urer. We had two dances that year also. One was the Spring Hop, and the other was a Christmas dance with the freshmen. Another circus was sponsored and we took part as usual under our supervisor, Miss Marjorie Bumstead, the commercial teacher. We sponsored a Christmas dance again that year, with Leon Jeffers' orchestra. The tra- ditional junior prom was The talk of the town that year. Also a new creative literary mag- azine appeared, called the VHS Variety. It won the highest, all-New York award with 197 out of a possible 200 on the rating scale. Were we proud! Class officers were John Herron, president: Virginia Sherman. vice-president: Betty Kat- ovitch, secretary, and Jack Hemenway, treasurer. Now as we have advanced to the seniors of Van Hornesville Central School our officers consist of Raymond Baynard, president: John Herron, vice-president: Eleanor Nabinger, secre- tary: and Helen Richvalsky, treasurer. Helen was also our DAR representative from this year's senior class. So far this year we have sponsored one dance, Witches' Hall, a Hallowe'en dance, with Leon Jeffers' Moderneers. Eighteen cooperative students came back in the fall to make up the 1944 graduating class. although only fourteen are with us now. Leland Collins and John Hubiak graduated in Jan- uary. Out of our freshman class of thirty-five, four have entered the service: Harold Wal- rath. Donald Yule, Edgar Shaut, and Glenn Young. We realize that we are graduating into a world of disaster and destruction, but we hope to do our best. We'll say good-bye to some of our senior friends, and work along beside others to keep the home fires burning. Respectfully yours, Eleanor Nabinger, Secretary of the Class of 1944.
