We began to work toward that all-important goal—D. C.! Our officers for this year were; Ronald Fraboni, Pres.; Ellen Babcock, Vice Pres.; Nancy Irish, Sec.; Richard Davis. Treas.; and our advisers, Mrs. June Gurnett and Mr. Merrill Stickler. On October 21 we held the first dance of the year, called “Fall Fantasy” It was a huge success. The Senior-Faculty game brought lots of laughs and fun for all. Getting into the swing of things, we named our second dance, held in the spring, the “Rocket Roll.” We really cleaned up on our biggest money-making scheme of the year, our car wash. This original idea helped boost our treasury to nearly S400. by the completion of the year. June 1957 Elevated from the position of lowly Freshmen, we were guided this year by the following officers; Ronald Fraboni, Pres.; Ellen Babcock, Vice Pres.; Nancy Irish, Sec.; Richard Davis, Treas.; and William DeSarno, Bus. Mgr. Mr. Victor Borst and Mr. Merrill Stickler were our advisers. Once again we initiated the school social season, by sponsoring a dance, entitled “Autumn Leaves.” Smart looking basketball booster pins were sold and we operated the refreshment stand at the home games. In January, Stephen Gillette was elected permanent guardian of our rapidly expanding class funds. We washed better than 100 cars at the annual car-wash and finished the year with a second dance which we called the “Farewell Fling.” Destined to become one of the richest classes ever to graduate from W. G. C. S., we now had over $800. in the treasury. HISTORY June 1956 Dear Diary, HISTORY (Continued) . . . June 1958 Dear Diary, Our Junior year was certainly a busy one. Ronnie, Ellen, Steve, and Nancy were re-elected to their respective offices while Sandra Gage was elected business manager and Mr. Warner chosen to be our adviser. The annual Sadie Hawkins Dance was held on November 15th and was the usual success. About this time we were frantically taking orders for 1150 Christmas wreaths After these had all been distributed we began ringing doorbells again, this time with stationery for sale. In the spring we initiated a new type of dance called the Mad Hatter’s Hop.” However, the biggest event of the year was the annual Junior Prom. As you walked onto the gym floor, suddenly you were in ancient Athens. A clear blue sky shone down as you danced past the unique fountain which highlighted the beautiful decorations. Sandra Gage and her date occupied the throne that magical “Evening in Athens.” We boosted our treasury substantially by selling Glen Classic Race Programs after school was out. We completed the year by carrying the traditional daisy chain at commencement and serving the Alumni Banquet that night. Timothy Adams, Ronald Fraboni, John Frost, Stephen Gillette, and Richard Palmer represented the Class of 1959 at Boys’ State, while Ellen Babcock and Jane Franzese were our delegates to Girls’ State. Graduation Day June 22, 1959 Dear Diary, Under the guidance of Mr. Warner, our advisor, and our class officers, Ronnie, Steve, Sandy, Nancy, and Kay Carpenter, newly elected Vice President, our Senior year got off to a fast and furious pace. After officially initiating the lowly Frosh, we began the final leg of our journey toward Washington, by selling Grand Prix Programs. Immediately after this, our magazine subscription sale was launched by Margaret Frank, general chairman. The class was divided into two teams under captains Jane Franzese and Ron LaPre, and a S3500. goal was set. After a close race LaPre’s team was victorious, getting to keep the little stuffed dog who became our mascot. In November try-outs were held and the cast selected for “The Boarding House Reach,” our riotous Senior Play directed by Mr. Steber. Shoot a mile, but it was a success and a lot of fun! Our final class project was the Senior Ball on December 26. It was entitled “Holiday in White,” with music by Dick Naylor’s fabulous orchestra. Judy Odson was chosen to reign as queen. Finally, on April 13 our goal was reached, our dreams became a realization. We will never forget the Marriott, the pidgeons in the park, climbing Washington Monument, meeting Vice President Nixon in the capitol, the baseball game and the wild ride home. And now, the strains of “Hail and Farewell” have faded, speeches have been given, diplomas awarded, the Alma Mater sung for the final time; we leave these hallowed halls, never to return again as a class. With us go fond memories, true friendships and everlasting gratitude to the members of the faculty whose help, guidance and excellent teaching will continue to serve as an inspiration as we go our separate ways.

After many weeks of hard and tedious practice, the three act comedy was presented with great success. The members of the cast and the audience will long remember the incident of the sofa and the failure of the telephone. Quick thinking remedied both incidents, so no harm was caused. Back stage, the members of the stage crew also worked hard for the success of the play. Of course, this play and many plays before it would never have been possible without the patience and hard work of our able director, Mr. Steber. CHARACTERS WILBUR - STEVE GILLETTE - Wilbur is a tousle-headed robust young fellow, about 13. HERCULES NELSON - FRANK MILLEN - Hercules is Wilbur’s age and is his best pal. Hercules has very big ideas and is filled with action. BETTY LOU MAXWELL - LOIS KOPP - She plays the part of the typical teenster daughter. Betty Lou has very little patience with her brother Wilbur. CONNIE MAXWELL - DIANNE KENT - She’s another daughter and she’s about 17. Connie is very pretty and always neat. BERNADINE SMITH - BETTY SPADER - Bernadine is Betty Lou’s best friend. She’s 14 and is a very frustrated young lady. JOHN MAXWELL - LARRY HOUSE - He is the father and is middle-aged. JANET MAXWELL - SANDY GAGE - She is the mother and is a very understanding person. AUNT MARY - ELLEN BABCOCK - She is Mrs. Maxwell’s aunt. Aunt Mary is about 60 and she has her own ideas about everything. LIMPY McGUIRE - RON FRABONI - Limpy is one of the many guests to arrive at the Boarding House. He’s about 30. NORA - GALE DECKER - Nora is Limpy’s wife. She’s about two or three years his junior. HERMAN “NINETY VOLT” JONES - BUZZ DeSARNO - Herman is also a guest who is a beat-up pug. He isn’t very intelligent, and he is rather slow to comprehend. ROUGHHOUSE RUBY - MIDGE GIFFORD - She is Herman’s wife. Ruby is a wrestling champion and, therefore, rules her husband with a heavy hand. MR. POTTER - TIM ADAMS - He is a likeable chap in his early forties who sells insurance. LUCY BURNS - MARGARET FRANK - She is a virtual encyclopedia. She knows all, sees all, and tells everything. MRS. MOTT - KAREN MORRIS - She is a little old lady who never says a word. She often seems to take an interest in everything, but always remains silent. CONNOLLY - BILL SHANNON - He is a rough and tough plain-clothes man, who has everything his own way. PROPHECY Ten years have passed since the graduation of the Class of 1959. Walking into the cocktail lounge of Franzese’s Motor Court, I can hardly recognize the faces of my former classmates and friends here at our tenth reunion. Vic Franzese, our gracious host, has turned the motor court into one of the most successful and prosperous motels in the surrounding area. He has purchased Seneca Lake and uses it as his own personal swimming pool. As I gaze across the room, I see many of my former classmates who have become noted celebrities. Succeeding Casey Stengel as manager of the New York Yankees is no one else but Bill Shannon, with Ron LaPre as his star pitcher, catcher, outfielder, and water boy. Judy Wolverton has changed her name to Judy Canova and has made a very successful career in motion pictures. Pat Pangallo’s latest book, “The Gyrations of the African War Dance,” has become a best seller due to his extensive study of native customs. Kitty LeGro is employed as the mistress of ceremonies of that popular television program, known as “Keep Talking.” Buzz DeSarno has received a citation for being America’s finest chiropractor. He is also known by another name — “the Beatnik’s Back-Scratcher.” Margaret Frank has finally gained world renown as the first woman labor leader of the newly organized teachers’ union. James Riley is busily employed as a beer taster in a Genesee factory. Nedra Cogsdill has given up on the world and entered a rest home at the age of 37. She is making a special effort, today, to be with us. Due to their devotion to religion, a few will not be able to attend our tenth reunion today. Betty Spader and Ruby States were unable to come due to their diligent missionary practices in Moscow. Having become an atheist, Tim Adams has joined a society of sun worshippers, devoting his entire life to basking in the sun. Barbara Walsh also could not be with us today, because she is on a most important mission to China. She sent us a letter of apology, however, with an explanation. .She is giving Mao his final lessons before his conversion to Christianity. Roger Swartwood, Charles Voorheis, and Jeffrey Spaulding have formed a farm cooperative. Each is said to be worth 2000 bushels of prunes. Nancy Irish, a medical technician during the week, takes time out on the weekend to play a hot clarinet in Steve Gillette’s combo, known as “Jigger’s Gigolos”. John Munroe recently discovered that he is a relative of Marilyn Monroe and has been trying to cash in on the benefits. Frances Oliver, our first Mrs., is showing pictures of her children. She said that she had a very difficult time finding a babysitter for her seven boys. Dan Hoy has not yet been graduated from college. He says that he is having too much fun! Sandy Shoemaker has been operating a retreat home for old horses, with Carol Spearman acting as consulting physician. Gary Arnold, who operates the Arnold Funeral Home in Burdett, has not yet arrived because he is busy drumming up business. Great scientific contributions have been made by representatives of the Class of 1959. Ellen Babcock has become famous for her scientific discovery of where the yellow went. Richard Palmer and Harry Matthews, renowned as two of America’s wildest scientists, are milling through the crowd trying to explain why they think Einstein’s Theory of Relativity is basically incorrect. Beth Piper, who has majored in chemistry for several years, now has found conclusive proof that smoking does not cause cancer, which is a relief to most of us. Grant Doland, now known as “Grante,” fashions exotic hair styles for the ladies. I understand that Phyllis Murphy is doing well as Tommy Manville’s twelfth wife. Anne Mason got rid of her dandruff when she started performing TV commercials for Enden Shampoo. It is rumored that Judy Odson is getting married for the seventh time. Judy always said that seven was a lucky number. PROPHECY (conlinued) . . A second Perry Como has been discovered! After Perry’s retirement, a detailed search was made to find another handsome, tranquilizing, piazza-bender. Who do you think was selected — our own Rocco Marcellino! Sandra Maine and Shirley Sproule are coowners of a skating rink, known as the “S and S Skating Rink.” Service men are admitted free. Warren Palmer owns a very successful dude ranch in Nevada. He also commutes to Reno where he works as a divorce court judge. Lois Kopp, Sandra Gage, and Karen Morris are star performers in the Ringling Bros. Circus. Lois is a daring trapeze artist who thrills the crowds with her feats of marvel. Sandy Gage is one of the most excellent lion tamers in the show. Karen Morris, who has added many, many pounds through the years, has sufficiently filled the role of the fat lady of the circus. Dick Davis and Charles Fulton have graciously volunteered to donate their brains to Cornell to make their lives a little more meaningful. Various branches of the armed services have permitted several former classmates to attend our reunion today. Bob Weed, known as the Sergeant Bilko of the Navy, is trying to get a mass poker game started. Bill Ormsbee, a career man in the Army, has taken over Mr. Shaeffer’s role as colonel. Joan Personius and Marion Rolfe are thrilling some of us with their experiences as test pilots for the Air Force. I haven’t seen Nona Burnett, Doris Bush, or Sandra Carrigan for a long time. They don’t appear in public very often, for they are all undercover agents for Henry Valent. Dick Augustine, known in his trade as “Darling Dick,” recently upset Gorgeous George for the heavyweight wrestling championship of the world. Ann Cramer has attained great heights with her artistic ability, but she has not yet gained the one thing she has desired for many years. She is still chasing James Frost who stubbornly resists all of her advances. He has employed his brother John as a full-time body guard to protect him from persistent females. I see Dianne Kent, Midge Gifford, and Pat Tallis across the room comparing notes on their teaching assignments. Midge, who is the driving instructor here at W.G.C.S., says that she is still having trouble teaching Frank Millen, who is still an inmate, to yield the right of way. Joan Scaptura is also a member of the faculty at W.G.C.S. She reports that the library has been relatively quiet since she succeeded Mrs. Stillman. David Mathews, Richard Spearman, Arvine Pike, and Gerald Weeks have formed a barber shop quartet. They report that they are available for wakes and weddings. After struggling hard for many years to become a successful night club singer, Gale Decker has finally made the grade and will make her debut tonight at Sabatini’s. Norma Lewis, Nancy Root, and Ann Rowles are employed as nurses at Schuyler Hospital. They work as a team: Norma’s job is to turn the patient over on his stomach; Nancy’s job is to hold his hand; and Ann’s job is to shove in the needle. Blake Thomson finds it much harder to finance the expenditures of his wife, the former Kay Carpenter, than to perform his duties as a certified public accountant. Kay has dethroned Elsa Maxwell as the nation’s biggest party giver. The field of business has attracted several of my former classmates. Diana Howard now owns controlling interest in the Liggett and Myers Tobacco Company. Jackie Leidenfrost and Nancy Bartholomew are now managers of a gum factory. Ron Fraboni is seen pacing in front of the Glen Chevrolet, which he now operates, puffing on that familiar cigar. Jack Culli-gan is employed as the chief mechanic. Jack’s only complaint is that Ron’s cigar smoke clogs up everyone’s exhaust pipe. Jane Franzese keeps her father’s trucking company in the black by working as secretary, receptionist, chief coffee-maker, and part-time truck driver. It is agreed upon that the tenth reunion of the Class of 1959 has been a great success. Everyone is anxiously anticipating our twenty-fifth reunion.

To start the year off they had several snake dances in order to spur on the football team. Also, they sold many booster tags. On November 6 the Junior Class put on the annual Election Day Dinner. Later in the month, on November 21, they attracted a good crowd at the Sadie Hawkins Dance. The selling of approximately 1100 Christmas wreaths was the next project undertaken by the Juniors. The annual Junior Prom was held in May. The Junior Class completed the year by its participation in commencement exercises and its preparation of the Alumni Banquet. Class of ‘61 . . .

The Sophomore Class began its fiscal year by managing a refreshment stand at a home football game and a bake sale. The sale of maroon and white pinwheelshaped basketball pins and the management of the refreshment stand at the home basketball games blackened the ledger. The class made two big splashes with their dance “April Showers” and the annual carwash. Class of '62 . . . After being raised to the hallowed halls of the Senior High School, and properly initiated by the mighty Seniors, the Freshman class set out on their long journey to Washington. The first money-making event was the traditional fall dance. Throughout the year was continued the sale of newly designed text book covers, we added the sale of school pennants. The annual Senior-Faculty basketball game was the usual success. We rounded out the year with our May Dance. Class of t t t Row , 1 to r: N. Magee, P. Emmons, D. Irish, L. Eldridge, A. Bcllavigna. R.

In December they made their first public appearance of the year in the annual Christmas concert. In the Spring, they presented a school assembly and their annual Spring concert. In June the year drew to a close with the graduation exercises. Choraliers . . . The Junior High Choraliers have not been as active this year as they would have liked to have been. Due to difficulty in scheduling a convenient time for the entire group to meet, rehearsals have been few and far between. However progress has been made throughout the year and the group has made two public appearances during the year. The first appearance was a caroling party a few days before Christmas; from all reports, those who participated had a good time. The second public appearance took place on April 29 when the Choraliers joined the Senior High Glee Club for their Annual Spring Concert. This was the peak of performance for the group this year and also the most rewarding for this year’s work. The Choraliers are looking forward to continued improvement and a more active schedule next year. Row 2. 1 to r: B. Welch, N. Shceslcy, L. Bellavigna. B. Secord. J. Miller, J. Robertson, P.

Since these do not belong to each member personally, each future squad will have football jackets. Both squads attended a cheerleading playday at DeSalles High School, Geneva. Besides meeting the other Cheerleaders, they were criticized in their methods and approach of cheering by all the attending schools. A standard code of the courtesy and conduct of cheerleaders was given to each girl. In March the varsity squad traveled to Rochester, N. Y. to participate in a cheerleading tournament, and attended a banquet at night. Everyone gained help and guidance from the playdays.

The first expedition planned was a hiking trip through the gorge for tracking animals and observing winter wildlife. The members formed groups of three and four, to carry out their selection of a project. These projects were used for a Biology class project also; and the Club will give all students sufficient time to work on them. The Biology Club is a club of the students and its success will depend upon their efforts.

These two boys were specializing in certain fields. The group met twice a week down in the shop. It was about the same as a regular shop class, but with one exception. The members could work in any field of work they wished, except that of the regular shop class they were in. For example: a regular metal shop student could work in any field he wished, except in metal. The plan of the club is to give shop students a chance to further their activities in numerous other fields, including ceramics, electricity, leather, metal, foundry work and general improvements of the shop.
