Vernon Verona Sherrill Central School - Sheveron Yearbook (Verona, NY)

Page 33 text:

 When we started our Freshman year we were still divided into two groups. In Sherrill there were the Sherrill and Vernon freshman under the direction of Mr. Torno- tore, who has resigned from the school and in Verona we were under Mrs. Freemen. Neither group was very successful in adding the needed dollars to our treasury. We elected Don Breckinridge to lead our class and despite all the trouble we had in getting together for a meeting, Don saw to it that we had two, to arrange for our May Day Dance, which was the only big event of our Freshman year. During our sophomore year it was the same thing; our activities were limited, but under Bob Duncan, whom we elected to lead us, we did sell notebook paper and sta- tionery which helped to add to our fund. Activities were limited because of the Junior and Senior Activities. Our helpful advisors for the year were Mrs. Bellinger and Mrs. Freemen, from Sherrill and Miss Don- zella and Mr. Hruby in Verona. Finally, our junior year rolled around. We all became money-conscious along with our advisors, Mr. Simmons and Mrs. Snyder, from Sherrill, and Mrs. Freemen and Mr. Teeter from Verona, also our President, Carol Raht. The girls took over the lead of the class and things finally began to get under way. We all looked forward to that big event—the Junior Prom, but before the prom, we sold notebook paper, stationery, and just about anything you would want to buy. At the end of our football season we sponsored the annual Football Dance, followed by a Sadie Hawkins dance and a magician show. After the Christmas holidays we had a talent show which was very successful and gave the public a chance to view the talent we have in our school. Finally, our Junior Prom rolled around. The theme picked was Moonlight Serenade and the decorations for it were carried out very nice and all helped to make it a great success. We continued for the rest of the year to sell notebook paper and then we put on our Junior Play, which really added to the treasury, but the Prom was the big event of the year. At last we have arrived as Seniors and the main event was our trip, but you can't go on a trip without money so under the guidance of Mrs. Lawless, Mrs. Bostelmann, Mrs. Wellman, and Mr. Glazier, we started our money-making projects rolling. Some of them were not as successful as others, but we pushed on undaunted. Again, Carol Raht, was elected President of the class, and she really did a swell job. We sold refreshments at the football games. No matter how cold it was, there was always someone slinging hot dogs, coffee, hot chocolate, and candy to you, including Mrs. Wo'lf, whose help was greatly appreciated. We had a few dances, sold sweat shirts, stationery, toy dogs, magazines, and pic- tures, all which helped to fatten our treasury. The senior trip was the greatest, no matter where anyone went, to New York or to Washington. Our senior play, YOU CAN'T TAKE IT WITH YOU, with a cast of nineteen, was a riot, and I'm sure all that saw it got their money's worth. The next thing is graduation and I know we are all looking forward to it, but when we think back on all the good times we've had, we will consider these last four years, the best years of our lives! 29

gpvyfr6tc«} Good evening ladies and gentlemen. This is Jerry Althouse your genial host of stationWVVSCSTV,welcoming you to another color spectacular. Tonight we have our cameras set up outside the beautiful VVS Central School building where we shall show the arrival of the class of ’55 which hasn't been together in ten years. This promises to be quite a reunion. Before we go any further we shall have a few words from our sponsor McCloud’s Kilts. Our model is Bruce Tracy who is wearing an original plaid kilt designed by Pat Koen. The wool in this kilt was flown in from Chris Hogan’s sheep ranch in Australia and was hand-woven and tailored by Nancy Chapman especially for this show. And here come a few of the '55 members. Bob Hawthorne, cigarette tester for Chokies is arriving with his latest advertising device—a cigarette lighter shaped like Marilyn Monroe. I see Gayle Rice is coming in now. She has made quite a name for herself at Waller’s Flophouse in New York where she is Mambo Queen. Way over there I see Maggy Law sporting a genuine feather dress made of feathers plucked directly from her egg plant. Barb Buss, winner of the Powder Puff Derby for five years, is circling the area in her jet looking for a suitable landing place. Here comes Judy Wallace, the renowned lawyer, who has just won the case for her client, Vaughn’s Pizza Palace vs. Terrier's Spaghetti Lounge. The sensational case centered about who put the meat-coated golf balls in Terrier’s spaghetti sauce. I do—I don’t—I do believe I sec a young lady in a grass skirt pulling up on a surfboard over there. Yes, it’s Miss Barbara Grabiec who spends her time combing the beach of Wakiki. Those two glamorous models, Anita Luyk and Donna Coy, have arrived. Anita’s smile has become famous in the Smilo Toothpaste ads while Donna uses her head in the Curio home permanent ads. Katherine Condon, owner and manager of the Losers, who have just won the World Series is arriving with the star of her team, Bob Finch. John Mackin now at the height of his political career as dogcatcher is coming in with Kent Drummond who just last week made his television debut on Zoo Parade. Look out men! Here come those two spinsters, Mary Boyce and Bobbie Dcringer, who together operate the Maribob School for Man-haters. Bob Duncan dealer in new and used harems is arriving with his life- long buddy, that European playboy, Bill Hayes. I see quite a few of the ’55 members have gathered to discuss the problems of big business. Let’s see who they are. Dawn Phipps, owner of Phipps —-The Headless Beer; Beatrice Reed, president of the Sta-on—the lipstick that won’t come off; Jean Egan, manufacturer of Red- Hots—The long underwear with insulation; Earl Combs, inventor of plastic combs for chickens; Bob Cornish, inventor of the new process of making corncobb pipes; Delos Irwin, president of Lazies—the cereal that just lays there and soaks up the milk. Pat Taylor has just come in. Pat’s column, Taylor’s Torn Heart Hospital,” has gained recognition in many of the nation’s large newspapers. Here come those two prima ballerinas, graceful Clara Grimm and her rocking Joan Roullier. The society leader of Boston, Shirley Lounsbury, has made her entrance and is followed by her very social secretary, Pat Smith. And now here comes that debonaire. man-about-town, the rage of all the females, Charlie Adams, and with him is that lovable, laughable, Johnny McNeil, director from Hollywood where he has just finished starring in The Jerry Lewis Story.” I see Fred Boberk, who has captured the hearts of America by imitating the retired Tennessee Ernie. Right behind Fred is Lucille Mahady, F.B.I. agent, close on the trail of Rosetta Lewin, the thief of Liberace’s candleholder. Dana Siver, author of the new best selling book, Home Nursing Can Be Fun,” is being driven up by her chauffer, Jerry Lince. He is still choking up his hot Ford . It’ll never die out. And now way over there I see Don Zajac, big game hunter, just back from Africa with his guide, Jim O’Herien. Lee Watson, Mississippi gambler, swaggering in with Marian Seamon, who is vocalist on his boat. Oh! Here comes Regina Dalkiewicz, the well-known hammer hitter on the Dragnet series. Right behind Regina are those two country gentlemen, Willie Davis and Dick Nobel, w'ho have just patented their idea for a push-button farm. Sandra Schoeneck, Olympic marble shooting champion is coming now. Next we see Dale Fargo, champion wrestler sporting the latest pegged pink pants. Right next to him is his life time mana- ger Bea Abel. Siberia, where she has been covering the inaugera- tion of Roger Gregory as President of Siberia. As a sideline Rog runs the school of Car Drivers off the Road or Else. I see Phyllis Beane principal of Beane’s Picking School is arriving with her star pupil, Don Craver.

Here comes Ray Walker, and three of his star performers of his circus—Phyllis Decker, sword swal- lower; Marilyn Snyder, bareback rider, and Jim Witchley, aerial daredevil. Well, I guess that everybody is here now, so I’ll just say au revoir and go in and join the festivities. Good-night. 30
