Naturally school was not all books and study for time was found for parties and class projects. Our class chose Miss Boirne as its advisor. The president was Blanche Spiorto; vice-president, Marjorie King; secretary, Virginia Kanaly; treasurer, Richard Spear. We held enough food sales to relieve the housewives in town quite often. However, we also had raffles, card parties and a play, Here Comes Charlio11. Several class parties were held. 1937 found the class even more enthusiastic in school and class affairs. We planned to go on a trip to Washington when werowere Seniors. Cur ''Fat and Lean basketball games were enjoyable. We also held card parties, food sales and dances. Miss Conklin was our advisor. Virginia Kanaly was elected president; Ncrma Hutchins,vice-president; Blanche Spierto, secretary and treasurer. The Junior year was the most oxciting year in high .school. Our advisor was Miss Harter. Walter Lineal became president; Juanita Jones, vice-president; Norma Hutchina,secretary and treasurer. Our class program included a backward dance, which was amusing and successful, a Junior play, card parties, raffles, and the sale of candy and hot lunches. The Yankee King was our Junior play with Norma Hutchins and Richard Spear in the leading roles and a supporting cast of Robert Lincoln, Virginia Kanaly, Robert Adams, John Costin, Blanche Spierto, Edward Feltt, Juanita Jones, Eleanor Costin, Paul Daby, Constance and Celeste Dickinson. We planned much on our Junior Prom which was a financial and social success The feature of the evening was the coronation of the 3ueen, Virginia Kanaly, and tho King, John Costin, with their attendants t Ruth Flora, Blanche Spierto, Norma Hutchins, Mary Kehoe, Walter Lincoln, Richard Flora, Donald Strong, and Austin Cross. Master of ceremonies was Richard Spear and the flower attendant, Celeste Dickinson . We aided the Seniors at graduation by decorating the auditorium with boughs and soring flowers. We enjoyed helping them although Miss Harter, Walter Lincoln and Edward Feltt risked their lives by so doing. as Seniors v e tried energetically to continue our good work to increase our treasury for a class trip. Miss Harter was our advisor again this year. Walter Lincoln was elected president; Norma Hutchins, vice-president; treasurer, Jean Spear; secretary, Celesto Dickinson. Our program for this year included the salo of candy, Christmas cards and personal stationery, dances. Indoor Winter Carnival, a Senior play, and an event which we hesitate to mention, our oyster supper. Evidently the citizens of Willsboro disliko oysters on rainy nights. In November, the Seniors presented the play Murdered Alive , The following were members of the cast: Richard Spear, Hazel Garvey, Richard Flora, Evelyn Provost, Norma Hutchins, Virginia Kanaly, Bernice Root, Paul Daby and Robert Adams. The groat event of theSenior year was the class trip to the New York World's Fair. We took a Van Zile tour, leaving Willsboro, Thursday afternoon. May twenty-third. Wc arrived at Hotel Taft Friday morning and visited the Fair Friday afternoon and Saturday morning. The most popular attractions were:General Motors, Billy Rose's Aquacade, General Electric, Pcri3phere, Houso of Jewels, and the Roller Coasters. Saturday morning v e visited the R.C.A. Music Hall and watched the Watch Your Step program as it was broadcast. We had our school song recorded. Wo also visited the New York City Aquarium and wc took a trip to the Statue of Liberty. Mr. and Mrs. Lilly and Miss Harter were the c aporons. We all enjoyed this trip although we had to pay one dollar for four bottles of Coco Cola and lost many pounds in avoirdupois. We wish to thank Miss Harter for her excellent support to the Senior Class, Mr. Lilly, who helped us to attain our start for the future, and the faculty for their assistance with our probolcms in various subjects. We also thank the members of the School Board for making our -education possible. Our thanks are extended to Miss Conklin and Miss Beirne, our former class advisors. As we say good-bye to Willsboro High School wo realize that we shall always have pleasant memories of our four years hero. Celeste Dickinson CLASS ACTIVITIES E.
