CLASS HISTORY In September, I9HI, two significant things occurred: Hitler was trying to subject the Balkans and the Class of 1953 was nearly doing the same to Mrs. Costs. It was twelve years ago our class entered school. Out of the pre- sent nine, only three started together. Mary Ann Ellison, Dale Kellogg and Wayne Slack were the nucleus of a class destined at one time to number as high as nineteen (fifth year) and as low as nine (Senior year); the other students who started, either moved, failed or dropped out. In our second year, under the auspices of Mrs. Clark, we made three notable additions to the original three. Geraldine Ray came to our school from Andover, Bill Golleh and Ruth Slack came back after a temporary stay in the third grade. Although our class In Its fourth grade numbered thirteen, no more of the present class was added. Among those with us then, but no long- er were: Ben Rye, Max Rye, Avis Chambers, George Reed, Hugh Coleman, Ronald Allen and Wanda Slocum. Mrs. Hurlburt had the task of keeping us unf;rt{|2n$[j{n year, the class was Increased by three members, who are still with us. These are Roger Horton, Catherine Stives, and Phyl- lis Lewis. Mrs. Clark was in charge of us again this year. She had quite a time keeping the boys from climbing out the windows. The sixth grade, a most memorable year for us, passed quickly as our teacher, Mrs. Thomas made the year very enjoyable. In the seventh grade we began to get a taste of high school life. Under the watchful eyes of Mrs. Barney, we slowly shed some of our childish ways and began to take on the appearance of students, instead of potential juvenile delinquents. Our last year of grade school was almost the same as high school. The various subjects we took were taught by different teachers.Our home room teacher was Mias Baker and we were quite a problem for her. Our Freshman year passed quickly by. The class had several roller skating parties at Wellsville. Our class advisor, Miss Young, escorted us. Mrs. Pfeiffer was our homeroom teacher. During our Sophomore year, we had our first money-making project. We staged a bingo game and netted approximately thirty dollars. All four boys played basketball. We had a hayride , weiner roast and anoth- er skating party at Wellsville. Once again Mrs. Pfeiffer was our home room teacher. Mr. Ruhl was our class advisor. Our Junior year was our busiest. We made money hand over foot. The magazine campaign was successful. Several dances were profitable. We hit the jackpot when we sponsored an amateur show. When the money was counted we were $101 in the black. There was a great deal of en- thusiasm over putting on the Junior Prom. We all pitched in and deco- rated the gym and prepared to put on the best Prom we possibly could. The Prom was a tremendous success, except from the financial point of view. The class also put on two Junior Plays. Mr. Ruhl, Miss Marring- ton, and the former Miss Richolas helped produce the plays. The plays proved to be a money making enterprise, as well as a lot of fun. The plays also provided us with invaluable experience that came in handy when our class put on the Senior Play this year. Mr. Bartoo was our class advisor and Mr. Ruhl was our homeroom teacher. So far, our twelth year at Whitesville Central has been packed full of activity. The Halloween Fair and Magazine Campaign were finan- cial successes. The yearbook took a considerable amount of our time. The Senior Play was prominent in the list of activities. Among all these, of course, came our studies. Planning the Senior trip always brought lively discussion. The trip is still undecided as we go to press. We can’t seem to choose between Mew York and Washington. And so as the final day approaches, we are all rushIng a round the halls of Whitesville Central, books In hand, winding up'our twelve- year stay inside its memory-fI I 1ed rooms. So ends the history of the class of 1953, another group of studenta graduating and stepping out Into the world to make their own way.
