CLASS HISTIIHY In the fall of 1940, thirty-four timid but well meaning youngsters crowded into the first grade room under the able leadership of Mrs. Coats. Those whom we best remember were: Jerry Graves, Jean Ordway, Margaret Deck, Paul Goodridge, Merle Nye, Gilbert Goodnoe, George Bledsoe, Muriel Smith Ellison, Cecil Smith, Joyce Langdon Chase and Wilma Hunt Robbins. During our next seven years, we had only four teachers, namely: Mrs. Clark, second and fifth gradeg Mrs. Keefe, third grade: Mrs. Hurlburt, fourth gradeg and Mrs. Bamey, sixth, seventh and eighth grade. Students who joined our class along the way were: Dale Coleman, Ardeth Harrison, Curtis Robbins, Willis McLean, Richard Graves, Richard Plaisted, Bill Webb, Lloyd Grover, Catherine Stives, Bruce Pritchard and Elsie Smith Knapp. After our graduation from eighth grade, we moved into the History room. Miss Young was our advisor. We had a hayride, a bingo party, and the class spent au aftemoon at a movie in Wellsville. At the end of the year we had a weiner roast up at Salt Petre. When we started our Sophomore year, we used the English room as our homeroom. Mr. Brewster was our advisor. We put out a calendar, sponsored several dances and ordered our class rings from the Metal Arts Company. Curtis Robbins entertained us twice on his parent's farm. At the end of the year we had a second weiner roast at Salt Petre. As Juniors we stayed in the English rooru and Mr. Brewster remained our advisor. Our first big thrill came when we received our class rings. We beat the Seniors in the Maga- zine Campaign by a good margin. Other high lights were the Junior-Senior Banquet, publi- cation of the yearbook and dances. Our Junior Prom was the biggest event of the year. We were the first class to have it in the new grade school gym. In our Senior and last great year we used the Laboratory for our home room. Mr. Brew- ster and Mr. Brown were our advisors. We started the year off with the Magazine Campaign beating the Juniors in a close battle. Soon after we held our annual Halloween Fair. We had a dance during January with music by the Hornarkans. We finished our yearbook layout mats in January. A committee was already appointed to work on the selection of the Senior Play but due to the early publication of the Wycenian we can not tell you further about it. Other things we were looking forward to, the annual Junior-Senior Banquet, a possible supper, and our long awaited trip to Washington. Merle Nye 9
