ACTIVITIES: Jr. Prom Committee History of tlie Class of 1943 It was a proud, yet frightened band of youths that wandered through the halls of Willsboro Central School four years ago—the illustrious class of 1943. Did we come for an education? Perhaps a few of us, hut we were soon relieved of that idea by our wiser brothers and we learned it was merely to perfect ourselves in the art of chalk throwing, gun chewing, giggling and other accomplishments peculiar to Freshmen. However, all these new delights were soon forgotten in the excitement of the election of class officers. Lucille Blanchard first took the task of managing the class while Marion Patterson distinguished herself as treasurer in her attempts to collect class dues of fifty cents. Alex Richard was elected vice-president. Mr. Driscoll was chosen to act as our advisor for the year. As a class, we were not over-ambitious our Freshman year. However we did sponsor a very successful card party that yielded some nine dollars. It seemed as though we had hardly become used to being Freshmen when we leaped the gap and became Sophomores. Of course our first act of importance was the election of class officers. Marion Patterson was appointed as president; Helen Flaherty as vice-president; and June Board-man as secretary and treasurer. A committee was also appointed to operate the school functions for our class. This year we really got busy and decided to sell candy during the noon hour and at the basketball games. We had a wonderful time at a Hallowe’en party at which cider and donuts were served. Presto! Sophomore year disappeared and we began to behave with a dignity becoming to upper classmen. This year Shirley Stanley was elected president; Mike Kehoe was our vice-president while Lucille Blanchard became secretary and treasurer. It was decided that we hold our meetings on the second Tuesday of each month which we have continued to do throughout the Senior year. We had a square dance November 7, 1941 at which cider and donuts were served. This year, in order to raise enough money for a class trip, we sold magazine subscriptions. This proved a tremendous success. Two teams and captains were appointed and we took in $100 and cleared $37.00. Our rings were selected and received in February. We thought they were the most beautiful things ever made. We decided to have blue and gold for class colors. A succession of card parties, dances and more card parties followed. Then came the Junior Prom featuring Gay Columbe’s orchestra. Though, the Prom was not a money making affair, it gave us all a good time. As we cleared $12.50, we considered it a success frcm both a financial as well as a social viewpoint. It was with deep regret that we saw our class advisor, Mr. Paul Driscoll, leave us in June 1942. Well, we’re Seniors at last! Though, our class entered thirty-seven strong, the members have dwindled away until now there are only twenty-six of us. A second time Shirley Stanley was elected as president; Helen Flaherty as vice-president and Marion Patterson became secretary; June Boardman is our treasurer. Mrs. Arlene Flora, accepting the title of our class advisor, has enthusiastically aided in all our class activities. Overflowing with class spirit and energy, we decided to get right down to ‘ brass tacks.” We first put on a dance September 18, starring ‘•The Kentucky Ramblers.” Besides selling stationery, having card parties and raffling off war bonds, we sponsored another dance February 26, featuring “Ann and her Happy Ramblers.” Plans were discussed for our class play but nothing ever materialized. Presently, we are all looking forward to our class trip to Albany. With train reservations and rooms secured at Hotel Wellington, we expect to have a wonderful time. And then, it is good bye to our high school life. It is the end of four years spent together and upon which we will always look as four of the merriest years of our life. Gertrude Hayward. Senior Class Will We, the Senior Class of Willsboro Central School, in the year of our Lord, one thousand nine hundred and forty-three, being of sound body and same in mind and reason, and about to pass from the life of students, do make and ordain this, our last Will and Testament.

Our Freshman year, a bashful class But this we O’re came as time did pass. The Sophomore Year was full of fun So carefree, nonchalant was everyone ! ! We awoke to study our Junior year And had a glorious prom: made $14 clear Now, alas ! Seniors are we Leaving old W. H. S. — the world to see. Now — we’ve had troubles, hard work and fun, But we’ve finally reached the top each one. Now what shall our new goals be ? ? Defense work, college, ARMY or NAVY ? Our paths — will they meet in the years to come ? Perhaps, some day after VICTORY is won. Louise Bayless Class Prophecy On June 21. 1953 the former class of ’43 held their reunion at the Public School which they had all attended. Everyone appeared to be very happy and anxious to relate his many experiences of the past ten years and his present position in life. Those who couldn’t attend sent letters. The principal of the Mineville High School and the teacher of Latin is none other than Richard Connor. Richard told us that he enjoys his work very much, and he tries to encourage more students to take Latin. At present, he teaches a class of fifty students. Not far from there, another member of our class teaches school. Mrs. C. Smith, the former Evelyn Hathaway, teaches kindergarten. Evelyn is doing very well in her position and enjoys married life very much. In Schenectady, the Miss Gertrude Hayward and the Miss Louise Bayless have established their own studio. They cooperate in their interesting and independent position. Gertrude writes the short stories for the Post magazine and Louise, who always had the talent of drawing and painting in high school, illustrates Gertrude’s stories. Mrs. W. C. Lincoln, Jr., or as we used to know her, June Boardman, lives in Baltimore, Maryland where she is very contented. June has charge of twenty-live children in a day nursery. Her husband, Walter, completed his lessons in aviation recently and now operates an Air Mail Carrier. Alice Lee and Dorothy Bailey are employed in a newly constructed “Kitchen-Saver” factory in New York City. They make many new useful articles that save the modern housewife time and money. Both seem to be prospering and we wish them much good luck in the future. We were surprised to learn that Helen Flaherty is a registered nurse at the St. Francis Hospital in New York City. Miss Flaherty lives there with her parents. We hear that she has gained a little weight but is just as good looking as ever. We are sorry to hear that she could not attend our reunion, but we enjoyed her letter and hope she can make the next one. A very capable manager of the I. G. A. store here in town is the former Lucille Blanchard who is now Mrs. Harris Young. She has held her position for three yeart but plans to go to a larger town to continue her career. One of the cleiks at the store is Miss Margaret Johnpierre. Margaret is going soon to Los Angeles where she is going to be a model in a dress shop. We also had a man in uniform at our reunion. Mr. Alexander Richard is an instructor at LaGuardia Field. Alex is training new recruits for the Army Air Corps. John West is the owner and operator of the prosperous two hundred and fifty acre “Sunny Side Farm” in Reber, New York. He is assisted by his son, John. Jr. Shirley Stanley, is now emoloyed in Chicago, Illinois as a secretary. My, how she has grown up. We hardly recognized her. Walter Blanchard, a veteran of World War II, is now the expert vet- inerian of the vast north country. He has been very successful at this career. We congratulate him. Everyone was astonished to see how Bob Kanaly has changed. lie is now five feet, eleven inches tall and he weighs one hundred and ninety-five pounds. He is the very wealthy owner of the Burlington Express Railroad. And who should his secretary be but Miss Marion Patterson. Having completed her education at the University of Vermont, Marion has been employed by the Burlington Express Railroad for the past four years. Doris Blanchard appeared at the class reunion as blonde as ever. At present she is the rural nurse of Momboso County. Everyone has certainly heard of the young poet who has surprised everyone with her talent. This is no other than Miss Lucille Greene, a member of the 1943 graduating class of Willsboro Central School. Lucille too was missing at the reunion because she is traveling somewhere in foreign countries. Thanks for ycur lovely letter. Mildred Stafford known to her friends as “Tipper” has been very successful at fashion designing. Tipper is now employed in a large fashion shop in New York City. The fact that Tipper talks as much as ever can’t be omitted because she wouldn’t be Tipper if she wasn’t always talking. Francis White appeared to be very content with his job as a traveling salesman of the Super Fcod Company. Instead of talking himself out of scrapes (as he did in school) he now talks other people out of their money. He surely hasn’t changed much. Thelma Provost is employed in a beauty salon in Plattsburg, New York. Thelma’s aim in life is to make everyone beautiful, (or at least try to). Two members of the 1943 class, Alice Wade and Grace Tero are teachers in a private school near Philadelphia. Alice teaches music and Grace teaches English. Grace was always fond of verbs, adjectives and pronouns just as Alice was always fond of C flats and F sharps. Edith Wever was also present at the reunion. She is an artist and really enjoys her work very much. Edith has lived in Chicago for the past five years, where she has her own studio. And it would never do to forget Gordon Coonrcd and Otis Dickerson. Gordon and Otis are partners in a prosperous business enterprize. They own and operate a bus line from Reber to Willsboro but due to the public demand they might extend their route to Keeseville. Good Luck Boys! Well folks, that’s all for the news until the next reunion. The Gremlins.

First of all we had a dance, which was quite successful. Later on in the year we had a card party, which was also a success. After January we learned our parts in the play for “Don’t Be Bashful” which we presented April 15 and 16. Then last was the Junior Prom which many of the high school pupils attended. Our class has been fortunate in our entertaining so far. We wish to thank all townspeople, as well as Miss Flanigan, our advisor, wrho helped us to earn our money. The Class of 1945 This year as Sophomores, there are twenty-two members in our class. The officers are as follows: President—Joyce Young, Vice President— Theresa Cushing, Secretary—Loraine Martin. Treasurer—Chauncy Bryant. We chose Mr. Cole, a new member of our faculty, as our advisor. The dues this year are fifty cents. Our first activity this year was a dance held in October which was very successful. In January we sold tickets on a grocery basket which added money to our funds. Again in March we held another dance, that also was considered a financial success. Our activities this year were very few but we have hopes of having more activities next year. The Class of 1946 Our class entered High School in September with 29 members and two war bonds in our possession. At the first class meeting the following officers were elected: President—Dorothy Patterson, Vice President— Alice Cross, Secretary—Norma Van Ornam, Treasurer—Evelyn Wade. We chose Miss Provost to be our class advisor. During the year our activities have been few because of the numerous other activities of upper classes but we managed to do quite well by raffling off a Thanksgiving basket and having a Hobby Show. We wish to express our appreciation to Miss Provost for her helpful guidance throughout the year. BASEBALL 1942 • Under the fine coaching of Gene Provost, a first-rate baseball team was turned out last year. Mr. Provost, an old baseball player himself, showed us many things. We started the season with a practice game with Essex and during this season we played ten games. When the season ended we were tied with Essex for first place. The play-off was held on our own field and the boys were full of pep, defeating Essex 9 to 1. Our two most exciting games were played with Northwood and West-port. We won both games but we had to play good baseball. In North-wood, we scored a run in the second inning and one in the fifth. In the sixth, Northwood came to bat, Richard made an error, Gonzales walked the next two while the bases were loaded with not any out. Johnny really got down to work and struck the next three out, and in the following inning did the same. In Westport, Gonzales pitched again. We took an early lead by Oliver’s double and Collins and Gonzales singles in the sixth. Westport went ahead 3 to 4. Mr. Mathers told Gene, “They need another chew.” To which Gene replied. “Watch this.” Richard singled; Cross and Young were struck out but Collins came through with a long triple, tieing the score. Oliver then hit a double, scoring Collins to win 5 to 4. We are very proud to have first place because it is the first varsity won by any team since Placid has entered the league. We, the players wish to thank Mr. Provost for his work and Prof. Lilly for the letters he gave to each player. PLAYERS P. F. C. Gordon Martin—Pitcher Pvt.

A new coach, Mr. Gamold L. Cole turned out an ambitious team. We had to assemble a whole new team because all of last year’s players, with the exception of one, had left. We had Blanchard in center and he could really make the baskets! Benedict and Kanaly were our two sharp-eyed guards; Oliver and Richard were the twro forwards. Our first game was with Mineville. We played a fast breaking game throughout, but they overpowered us. Next we played Keeseville here and we proved to be the superior. Under Mr. Cole’s fine supervision, we held a 24-6 margin at the half and ended by defeating Keeseville 48-25. Twro weeks later we journeyed to Keeseville by taxi to be defeated 31-36. Remarkable improvement was shown by both teams at this game.
