C lass Ifsiory The fall of '47 rolled in with a bang as the doors of Scottsville High opened wide for fourteen little first-graders. Linda Balistere, Liz Boutwell, Cathy Brown, Tim Brown, Virginia Fenton, Norma Uessiej Green, Sharon Greene, Mary Jennings, Pauline Lepenske, Ken Minster, Rella Naugle, Stuart Scott, Tom Thurlow, and Chuck Venderville comprised our bright, sparkling class. Under the competent direction of Miss Griffen and Miss Sliker fit took two teachers to keep us in linelj, we read DICK and JANE and took afternoon naps on our magic carpets. The next year brought us a curly-haired lad named Jack Driscoll, who in later years became Joe College. Time flew and soon we charmed Mrs. Burns with our presence. In the winter of that same year an obliging snowman lent Tom a pipe. Smart and Ken furnished the leaves and matches. All three had a merry time until Mr. Connor joined the fun ....... What happened, boys? Fifth grade brought a new experience---our very own club, The Golden Horseshoe. We also dug deep i.nto our past searching for material to compile our life stories. That year a boy with a flattop haircut and a grin from ear to ear joined us -none other than Bill Miller. The next year held even more surprises. Carol Brady and Nick Hayes joined our rollicking group and Bob Baker, who is now attending a Catholic seminary, serenaded us each afternoon with The Tennessee Waltz. In order to provide cash for our club, we sponsored frequentcomicbookauctions. Goingonce, going twice. Aw c'mon. It's got a cover. How 'bout seven cents? Dave Benin, Diane Major, and Tom Van DeWater joined our ranks in seventh grade. That was the year some of the girls possessed great athletic qualities. They beat the boys in football and excelled in hiking. Can't you just picture the Senior girls getting up at 5:00 A.M. now, to go hiking? Wow! What a year. In the eighth grade, Mrs. Brodie patiently prepared us for the trials and tribulations of high school. We proudly displayed our banner Mighty in full view of all who entered our room. June arrived at last, and we solemnly mounted the steps to the stage to receive our diplomas. Are those tears in your eyes, Mrs. Brodie? Her famous reply - Why the very idea. I High school!!! -the threshold to a new way of life. We were pea green frosh, adoring those mighty seniors who gave us a day to remember, a long speech and plenty of lemons. Cathy Cassevoy joined our class occasionally after this. In our sophomore year Maurice Arthur, Tom Catlin, Barbara Hart, Yvonne Kretschmer, Eileen Lehr, Nancy Robertson, Jane Root, Geraldine Tamblin, Ed Tondryk, and Cookie Totten increased our class en- rollment to thirty-one. With the guidance of Miss Mitchell we successfully sold school pennants. Our biology class frequently resembled a history class, since we learned more about World War II than about amoebas and paramecia. Junior year brought an increase in our funds through the selling of stationery. It was a great day in December when our rings arrived. Wonderful birthday present, huh, Jessie? We also produced a spectacular play-- The Crystal Ball. Hindus, seances, and fainting spells com- bined to make a hilarious production. Ken's bark, Tirn's ad-libbing, and Cathy's venture into the land of the deceased also provided laughs for all. It was a great success both socially and financially. Two feminine figures approached, those of Sharon Brown and Judy Garlow. Bill Gabby Nagle also burst in. Our Senior year began with Ken as our president and Miss Mitchell back again as advisor. We started off on the right foot by sponsoring a tremendous magazine campaign. With Cathy as business manager, and Tim and Liz as team captains we set out to conquer all-and we did! By selling S1650 of magazine subscriptions, we topped our goal by S150 and set a new school record. Gerda Schiano became a member of our class and Nick Hayes, who had left in the eighth grade re- joined us. Just couldn't stand to be away from us, could you, Nick? Since our Junior Play was so well received we decided to produce another. Our choice was Skinned Alive, a farce which proved to be a tremendous success. We spent many long hours with Miss Spence in order to produce the GENOATK. Our meetings often brought forth some very interesting conversations! Many of the best-kept secrets have been revealed! Because of our extensive efforts we were rewarded with refreshments several times. Work on the GENOATK was, more interesting this y ea r because the new school provided many more possibilities for theme and photography. Along with all the excitement of our last year was added something else. We eagerly awaited the Big Day. Finally it arrived!! On January 26 we moved bag and baggage to our wonderful new school. It was a thrill for all of us as we moved in awe through the lengthy corridors. Even the fact that the teachers were wondering how to keep track of us didn't phase us in the least--as if it would! Now, confident of our superb high-schooling, we step forth into the wide, wide world ready to conquer whatever may cross our paths. We shall take our memories with us, memories old and new.

The class topped its S1500 goal in the magazine sale, and the profits from this and other ventures--penny sales, recordhops, andthelike--went toward the cost of printing the best yearbook Wheatland-Chili has seen. The Stardust Ball and the Senior Ball were social successes, as was the Senior Play. Our officers and adviser guided the class through a full, rewarding year. 23
