Although he has not been with us long, due to the fact that he served two years in Uncle Sam's Navy, we all know him for his pleasing personality and charm. Frank has not taken an active part as a leader of class activities, but he has always been a willing helper. As far as sports are concerned, before entering the service he took an active part in baseball, basketball and volleyball intramurals. He was a member of varous clubs, among them being the Bird Club and the Future Farmers of America. We wish Frank success in any of his future undertakings. FLORENCE BURTON. Burt is that girl whose name is always on the honor roll — in fact she is class Valedictorian. Yet Burt is living proof that one can be studious and still be popular. As class President in her Sophomore year she proved her executive ability. Being active in all intramurals and class activities which includes Freshmen Feld Day. Sophomore Hop. Sadie Hawkins Dance. Junior Prom. Election Day Dinner and Senior Ball, shows that Burt is an all around gal. Very appropriate was her role as “Lizzie , the simply hysterical girl, in the Senior Play. Chosen by her classmates as Editor-in-Chief of the Oracle Staff is an honor Florence well deserved. Her musical aspirations were exemplified in her work in the band and the Glee Club. Florence is one of the few Seniors who has definite plans concerning her future. Next year she will begin her studies at Keuka College. MARJORIE CLEVELAND. Marjorie is Moreland’s contribution to our class. She is better known to all as Margie. Margie is one of our girls who is blessed with the loveliest blonde hair and cute figure. She is always neat and quiet. Her figure is always dressed in the most stylish clothes. Although she has only participated in a few class activities, such as waitress during the Election Day Dinner and usher at the Senior Play. Margie played intramural sports in basketball, volleyball, badminton and softball. Margie has no plans to the future, but you can bet she will always make good. FRANK CONTE. Frank is another one of the more quiet members of our class. He is also one of the more reliable members. When any work was to be done, we could always count on Frank. He helped with the Freshmen Field Day. the Sophomore Hop. Sadie Hawkins Dance, the Junior Prom and the Senior Ball. Frank did an excellent job of assisting with the sound effects for the Senior Play. He took part in all sports and intramurals during his four years of high school. Frank is to be recognized as a most active person. With all his likeable traits, we know he will be a success in life. JO ANN COYKENDALL. Jo Ann is one of the more quiet members of our class, who has taken part in activities such as Election Day Dinner. Senior Ball and Senior Play usher.

19 4 7 THE ORACLE 19 4 7 EDITH DECKER. ' Every class has one” is a phrase describing Edic. for she is our own Baby. To date only 1 5 years and 5 months old makes Edith the baby of the class by a wide margin. This tender age has not stopped her from being especially active in sports though. She has been really active in intramurals, including basketball. volleyball and speedball. all her four years here. In her third year she was a member of our excellent Glee Club. When the class asked for volunteers to work at the Election Day Dinner, you can be sure Edith was one of them. She will return next year for further schooling and then plans on attending an Elmira business school. We wish Edith all the luck in the world. ANTHONY FERRY. Tony, as he is called, is one swell guy!

He took active part in the Physical Fitness Demonstration during all four of his high school years. During the Election Day Dinner. Tony was one of the guy’s with dishpan hands and to him we must credit all the sound effects for the Senior Play. Since he has a great interest and talent for photography, he was made Photography Editor of the Oracle Staff. With his strength and physique we are sure Tony will succeed in his future work. HELEN FROST. Helen, one of the class’s honor students, is our President. This is an office she rightfully deserves. She showed this by her good work as Vice-president in her Junior year.

Annette has been really active in class enterprises. By enterprises we mean the Sophomore Hop. Junior Prom. Senior Ball. Sadie Hawkins Dance and the Election Day Dinner. In our Junior year Mabel was our able class Secretary. No one will ever forget her portrayal of “Aunt Tillie” in Aunt Lillie Goes to Town.” Annnete’s lovely alto voice was put to use in the Glee Club during her last two years in school. As fas as extracurricular activities are concerned Annette's interest turned to sports by her part in intramurals and cheerleading. As to future plans Annette is another Senior who has been accepted by Keuka. LE ROY HOAGLAND As an ex soldier Roy earned himself the nickname “Jeep.” by which he is known to most. Roy is that very rare studious type, who came to learn, and that's that. He took time off to help in various activities, among them are the Senior Ball. Election Day Dinner and helped usher at the Senior Play. The best words with which to describe him are a pleasant guy with a real sense of humor. From present indications Roy is that ready-to-settle-down type — so for future plans, consult Margie.” V
