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.
