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.

Underclass Activities The Class of 1944 This year as Juniors, we started out with twenty-three students, the following officers were elected: President—Marilyn Curren, Vice Presi- dent—Marjorie Patterson, Secretary—Louise Moseley, Treasurer—Peter Young. 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.
