' ,1 V ’ iwtwt w : «ww» . CLASS HISTORY Looking far into the past we find that only two of our present classmates. Max Shay and Arnold Stebbins, started the first grade together under the guidance of Mrs . Coates. In the second year they were Joined by a petite, shy girl, who was Helen Grover. This trio, we under- stand, gave Mrs. Coats some difficulties but they got through the year without too many trips to the cloak room. There were no new students Joining this group in the third and fourth grades. During our third year we were guided and hurried along by Miss. Griggs and Mrs. Clark helped us through our fourth grade. Raymond Edwards Joined us in the fifth grade. We were instructed by Mrs. Barney during the fifth, sixth and seventh grades. Our little group was considerably increased during these three years for Margaret John- son, Lucy Ray and Eugene Poster entered our school dur- ing our sixth year and Eleanor Canfield during our seventh. In our eighth year we received a homeroom of our own and here we were Joined by Dean Kear. This year we had our first experiences of passing to classes and we also experienced regents for the first time. Al- though this year was rather uneventful we did have a few enjoyable parties. With the aid of our President, Arnold Stebbins, we annoyed our teachers to the best of our ability. With the exception of a few parties our first and seaond years in high school were very prosperous but unexciting. Throughout our Junior year we all found out what it was to study for many of us had regents. Reta Whltesell Joined our ranks at the beginning of this year. Our Junior Prom proved to be a success and we are sure everyone enjoyed Andy Grillo's fine music. A bingo party and square dance were sponsored by us to Increase our financial funds. Although we were the losers of the Magazine campaign, we profited consider- ably. The Junior - Senior Banquet was held at Moon - Winks, leaving pleasant memories with everyone who at- tended . Even though this is our last year we find it very eventful and busy for we have many social activities in conjunction with our studies. To begin our year we had a Magazine campaign which has added to our funds. The annual Halloween Fair was very successful. On March tenth we had a Pie Plant Pete and Bashful Joe show. Our play Take It Easy was presented on April first under the direction of Mrs. Pfeiffer. Although we have made no definite plans we have some more money making pro- jects in view. We have decided to go to Washington for our Senior trip in June. Summing it all up we find that we have all spent man, happy hours in good, old Whitesville Central and above all we wish to extend our sincere gratitude to. our two Senior advisers, Mrs. Pfeiffer and Mr. Jones, for their assistance.
