§» «; F O R DIA N ¥ ¥ V Class I tstorp J sQ; Four long years ago, we of the Class of 1936 entered the portals of 3x W Waterford High School as full-fledged Freshmen. We held our first class .. a meeting and elected Jack Kenney our leader. Under Jack's able guidance, we JT W accumulated enough money to have a class picnic at Saratoga I.akc. This was largely attended, and, to use that favorite expression, “A good time was had 3' (. I by all.” I •i r When we returned to school as Sophomores, we were saddened to learn that y H our former president, Kenney, had left us for LaSalle. Fortunately, however, we x| V found an able successor in John Keene, whom we elected as president. Our r x M Sophomore activities were not worthy of mention, save that we collected a W jr sizeable sum toward the expenses of our Junior year. -,x $| With the arrival of our Junior year, we again elected John Keene president. ,C We early resolved that our Junior Prom was going to be bigger and better than •, ever before. We presented a movie benefit in November. 1934, which was a M LC big success. Finally, we saw our dreams of a Junior Prom become a reality. r Mi In June. 1935, said prom was held with amazing success, a balloon dance being 't,S the feature of the evening. 'is M In September, 1935, we returned to school as dignified (we hoped) Seniors. ffl M This year we chose as our competent leader Bill O’Meara. Bill was well-known 'yS M as a person who enjoyed hard work and taking part in class activities. At our fn 'L first class meeting, we voted unanimously in favor of having a yearbook. John 'A Keene was again honored by being elected Editor-in-Chief of the 1936 FORDIAN. Ijjfy Id With a coni])etent staff under him, he set to work. Money-making plans were LC submitted and committees were formed. a Id The first organized financial scheme was candy-selling, which has continued 'L yS through the year under the expert handling of Beatrice Lemieux and Eddie jSg O'Connor. ¥ Jx In the Fall we presented an amateur contest at Mr. Tepedino’s suggestion. This went over very well. Literally speaking, we packed them to the doors. k£ Jx Inspired by this success, we arranged for a series of three amateur nights with y w a representative of Bristol Myers Company, Sponsors of Fred Allen’s Town Id 3x Hall program. During the course of three weeks, Waterford High School y W auditorium was a mecca for ambitious amateurs from the surrounding country- Id side. The result was a trip to New York for William Farrell and a substantial jx W rise in the Senior balance. w x'x The vision of a yearbook amazingly welded the individual Seniors in a 3® H tireless unit, working toward a common goal. Each one contributed his bit, some by selling candy and pennants, all by selling the ever-present tickets, some 3x Is making posters and others by simply having inspirations. There were some W vr failures which quickly faded in the glow of successes which followed. 3|x « As a result of this consistent effort, we have our yearbook, which we will W vjc ever cherish since in the future it will be the means by which we may wander 3x M in memory once again through the scenes of our high school days in good old w vc Waterford High.
