Golish, Betty Brown, Ardeth Harrison, Lloyd Graves, Roger Hor- ton, Curtis Robbins, and Lloyd Grover. This was the beginning of the class of 1951. We were under the direction of Mrs. Mary Coats. In the following years we were under the supervision of Miss Griggs (now Mrs. J. Keefe) 2nd and 3rd; Catherine Braunschweiger, 4th and 5th; and Mrs. Helen Barney, 6th; 7th and 8. Students who joined us during these years were:Katherine Chaffee, Otto Elder- kin, Leroy Geer, Willis McLean, Betty Nye, Lorreta Tomb, Roger Tomb, Wilfred Stives, GeorgeSchweigart, Agnes Herrick, Harold Allen, Jack Webb, Donald Car- penter, Charles Bledsoe, Nina Saunders, Stanley Harrison, Bruce Pritchard, Mary Ray, Robert Ellison, and Wayne Steadman. As Freshman we started high school with ten class members.Our seats were in the old study hall shared with the Juniors. Miss F. Baker was our advisor. Many parties were enjoyed during this year. Picnics and movies at Wellsville were our specialties, one in particular. This was a visit through Howe Libr- ary, after which we had a picnic at Island Park in Wellsville. Miss Baker Mrs. H. Cornell, our chaperones, had a difficult time getting us home. While scouting around on one of the hills in West Union that evening, a short cut was taken at the suggestion of a loyal class member, we ended up with stick in hand pushing sod out of the road so that we could get the station wagon— out to the highway. Our chaperones vicious and hard words will never be forgotten. Many enjoyable days were spent with Miss Baker during this year. Stanley Harrison dropped out of class during this year. For our Sophomore year Mr. Brewster was chosen as our advisor. Our class rings were purchased from Metal Arts Co. of Rochester. Besides weiner roasts, a New Year's Eve Party was enjoyed with Mary E. Golish as our hostess. Betty Nye moved to Alfred Station the first of the school year leaving eight in our class . In our Junior Year, we moved into the lab with the Seniors. Mr. Bartoo acted as our counselor. During the year Wilma Harrison joined us from Gene- see, Pa.; Helen Yeager came from Shinglehouse, Pa.; and Lynn Hunter from One- ida, N. Y. Shortly after leaving us Lynn Joined the Airborne Troops and is now in Korea. Our first project was the Magazine Campaign which was lost to the Seniors. In Nov. a square dance- and a turkey raffle was held. On May 19 the annual Junior Prom took place with a very nice crowd present. The Junior and Senior Banquet was held at Moonwinks in Cuba Lake. Most of the class helped the Seniors publish the annual Wycenian. Now with the guidance of Mr. Bartoo and Mrs. Pfeiffer a busy Senior year is slowly coming to an end. Class Officers were chosen, namely:Edward Bloss, Pres; Mary Ray, Vice-Pres.; Wilma Harrison, Sec.; and Lloyd Graves,Treasurer. The Magazine Campaign, a Game night, Halloween Fair, the first dance in the new gym and a spaghetti supper have been our projects thus far. The year book production was started in December. Future events will be the ColeBros£ircus and the annual Senior Play, Miss Jimmy under the dir- ection of Mr. Brewster. As a last tribute, the Juniors will sponsor—Junior-Senior Banquet in June. Our final step will be Graduation and the long-awaited Sr. trip. look forward Donna Folts . CLASS PROPHECY I awoke on the morning of June 25, 1961, with the sun shining in my face In about an hour, I'd have to leave for the paraplegic ward. I enjoyed being a nurse to disabled veterans. After breakfast, I got the paper. This morning there were big headlines about some chemist discovering a cure for polio. Plow wonder- ful I thought. Then something caught my eye. It was the word Whitesville. The sentence read; Lloyd Graves Jr.,formerly of Y hitesville, Ne? York announced his discovery last night. A cure for polio after yerrs of research. Joe Graves, my classmate, had always had scientific ability, e had certainly made the most of it, and the world had benefited too. It was just ten years ago today that our class had graduated, and now one of our members was world famous. What had happened to the rest of my class. As my curiosity grew I wrote to Mom, asking her to find out their addresses for me, so I could write to them. A week later I received a letter from Mom with the addresses,so I wrote each of them an invitation to visit my home for a class reunion, two weeks later. All my class and their families accepted and it was a grand get-together. After a smorgasbord dinner we gathered in the living room to talk over the past ten years and relive our school days. Each class member took his turn tell- ing of his experiences in the last ten years. Joe was our first speaker. He told us of his long years of research, before he finally knew success. Fame hadn't changed him any; he was still the likable fellow he was in school. The boys kidded Joe about being so busy studying sci- ence, he had forgotten to marry. Joe Just laughed good naturedly and retorted, nj guess 1 11 have to do some research on that. The talk of marriages turned the conversation to Bob llison. Bob had start- ed his married life while in his Senior year. He and Muriel own the former Ruth Cornell home on the Cryder. Across the road is a huge garage where Bob keeps his nation-wide fleet of semi-trailer trucks. Bob proudly showed us his three child- ren. The oldest Robert James-10, was the only one I had ever seen before. How- ever as a healthy boy of ten, he looked little like the baby I had remembered. The second member of our class to be married was Wilma Harrison (now Mrs. Charles Waters). She became our next speaker. ’Wilma and Charlie and their two children live on a ranch in Texas and have 000 head of cattle. The last time I saw her was at her wedding. She invited the whole class. Captain Wayne Stedman of the Air Force was our next speaker. Wayne had made a' career of military life. He introduced us to his wife, a beautiful blonde and an Ex-WAC. We had a delightful time listening to stories of Wayne's harrowing life in the air. The talk of experiences brought Mrs. Peers,formerly Mary Ray, into the lime- light. Mary, as a teacher, also had some fantastic experiences, usually with her students. She reminded us of the way we used to irritate our teachers. Mery now has a dark curly headed girl of !+, and a frolicking boy of 2. Donna ‘olts was next. Donna went to a beauticians school and studied art as a sideline. She married a millionaire and lives on an estate just outside town. Bruce Droopy” Kear spoke next of his life as a mechanic. He now owns his own garage, and has a wife who is a grand cook. He no longer eradicates the ghosts, he has all he can do to get his two boys to bed. Our next classmate was also a Kear. Helen Yeager was now Mrs. Dean Kear. Helen who had been a governess for two years was now governing Dean and their children, two boys and two girls. Ed Bloss, our Valedictorian, had graduated from Alfred U. and was now a cer- amic engineer. Ed and his wife live in a rambling mansion outside of town, with their quintuplets. Doris Hallett who took a Post Graduate course and was with us through our Senior year also attended. Doris is now a private nurse— to her husband. We talked until dawn, before we realized how late (early) it was, so wl all bade each other a reluctant farewell. What a grand day it had been.

Beverly Williamson was with us at the beginning of the school y ar but left during Thanksgiving vacation. Florence Smith joined afterwards. She had previously gone to Addison Central School. We were glad to have her back with us. Miss Adams Mrs. Cornell are our homeroom teachers so we were well looked after. In October we planned a weiner roast. Of course, it rained so we took over the Exchange Club House on the Cryder Creek Road, ate hotdogs, and danced to our hearts content. Well, 'till 10:30. Another get-together was planned with the 8th Grade. We're having to teach the boys, who don't already know, how to dance, but we don't know exactly how successful it will be. Two of our classmates are cheerleaders, and we are very proud of them. Lynn Kear and Florence Ordway deserve three cheers for their good work. We feel that our class has some members that have a good chance of becoming president some day. They are Gary Grantier-A average, Harold Slack-A average, Barbara Stebbins and James Smith. Barbara may be the first woman President. We hope our class will continue to stay together throughout high school and enlov more good times together.

In the fall we took a trip to see the trees and plants and to see the dog and rabbits at Cheryl's home.Then we built a house to play in. We needed some paint for it, so we took a trip to the GLF for whitewash. When the house was finished we invited our mothers in to see it. This was on a Halloween afternoon.We had a program and party for our mothers also. Before Christmas we learned some things about Indians. We had an exhibit and made an Indian village.
