History of the Senior Class Twelve years ago in the fall of 1923, three small girls, Dorothy Browne, Anna Fusek and Frances Jones, and seven boys, Norman Bourke, Robert Byrnes, Vincent Cash, Collis Huntington, Arthur Roberts, Roger Terry and Albert Treen entered the first grade of the Waterville school. They spent their first year in accustoming themselves to the novelty of attending school. ln their second year they lost Arthur Roberts, who moved to Richfield Springs, and Frances Jones, who moved to Deansboro. The next two years were rather uneventful. The following year marked a decided change. They became full-fledged members of the fifth grade,and they moved into the larger building. Mary Doyle was recruited to the class that year. By the next year they had more or less acclimated themselves to their new surroundings and received another classmate, Alene Stukey. The seventh year brought three more members to the fold, Julia Hughes, Catherine Tuffy and Kenneth Rankins. The next year was a big thrill for the class. They moved into the new Wateryfille Central School. Here they were joined by Cleveland James. When they entered their first year of high school, they composed one of the largest freshman classes in the history of the school. Cleveland James left them, but there were several additions: Leland Vining, Robert Blair, Glen Williams, Kathleen Brady, Isabelle Fuess, Marion Helterline, Pauline La- fayette, Sarah Ogden, Pauline Randall and Laura Tepolt. They entered whole-heartedly into extra-curricular activities, and by the end of the year had a sizable balance in the treasury. From then on they became one of the most progressive classes in the high school. In their sophomore year they l1ad some more recruits: Helen Bingham, Sarah Gravenstein, Ida Smith, Mary Louise Brady, Merlin Staring, Theodore Szlachta and Guy Vining. Ruth Templeton joined them in their junior year. The climax of this most successful and eventful year was the junior-senior scrap over the dummy of the seniors which the juniors put up. They were successful in keeping the dummy intact for a longer time than any other junior class in the history of Waterville. Only after burning kerosene rags were employed did the dummy succumb to the attacks of the seniors. As is the usual custom, the juniors put up a dummy for us to take down this year. The pole was greased and the task seemed hopeless. Every time a senior came within reach of the dummy some junior would pull him down. liowever, Leland Vining made himself a hero by successfully climbing the pole against great odds and by destroying the dummy. The whole fight lasted only an hour, whereas we fended off the attacks of the seniors last 'ear for over two hours. 3 ln this, their last year, they were the most active class in school. The senior girls completed their fourth consecutive year as winners of the Inter- class Basketball Championship. During the course of the year the' seniors sponsored several money-making enterprises such as the senior Mardi Gras and the senior theater party. By the end of the year they had a tidy sum of money in the treasury. Throughout the years of high school the seniors have been fortunate in possessing natural leaders. To the untiring work of these leaders goes much of the credit for making this one of the wealthiest classes which has ever graduated from the school. The class of 1935 has been 'Lin the limelighti' every step of the way, and the school is going to seem rather empty without them next year. Albert Treen.
