Our Freshman year was one of little activity. It took us same time, with the eld of our teachers, to get started in our high school studies. We elected our class officers as follows President - John Leach Vice-President - Chester Eardisty Secretary - Jean Beardsley Treasurer - Mary Roselle The teachers kept us in a general mix-up during our Freshman year and part of our Sophomore year. Mr. Loke, our History teaoher, left us in December of our Freshman year to join the army. Miss Meehan took his place. Then Mr. and Mrs. Iyer, who taught Hamemaking and Science left to live in Massachusetts. This was not all. We had to have teachers for these subjects so Mrso Stevens and Mr. Derwin came. The changes in the faculty made up for our lack of social activity. We had one dance and one skating party. Eight of our classmates left us this year. We started our Sophomore year with Miss Dorothy West taking over our Homemaking department and Miss Lacey replacing Miss Meehan as History teacher. Although we missed our teachers very much, the new teachers filled their places very well. Our olass officers our Sophomore year werei President - John Leach Vice-President - Chester Eardisty Secretary - Cora Lautenschlager Treasurer - James Shortt Our social life improved this year but everyone was still of the opinion that it could be better. Wo had two skating parties, two dances and one social which proved to be a big sucoess.

Wo will mention hero that for the first two years we oould talk (with permission) and there were no detentions. This ohanged in our Junior year. Our Junior year at Woodbury High School was brightened by the fact that we would graduate in a short time. Most of us agree that our Junior year was the hardest, but well worth the effort. Our class officers for our Junior year were President - Doris Bansleben Vice-President - John Leach Secretary - Cora Lautenschlager Treasurer - Shirley Weed We were fortunate in getting our class rings at the beginning of our Junior year, having ordered them the last part of our Sophomore year. We gave three dances which were very much of a success financially. We also had a social and two skating parties. At last our senior year was started with a smile. We were now the respeoted seniors. Ctte of the first events of the school year was to hold a class meeting to elect our class officers. At this time w© outlined our program for our final year. Chester Hardisty had the honor of being our Class President, with Cora Lautenschlager as Vice-President, Judith Mitchell as secretary, and James Shortt as treasurer. Irene Turner, Jean Beardsley and Bill Fleming were chosen to fill the job of being on the executive committee. As is the custom (and necessity) of the seniors, the class pictures were taken in November. Mr. Stockmann performed the task and the results were wonderful. We had five dances, two food sales and two socials. Most of our activities proved to be very successful, but once in a while Old Man Weather interrupted our plans. We also had a very exoiting and enjoyable time in New Haven at the Ice Follies in December. Miss Clark and Mrs. Titus accompanied us. With the events of our Senior year, we bring our History to a close.
