THE BARKER FOR 1952 Presented by THE SENIOR CLASS PLATTSBURGH HIGH SCHOOL Plattsburgh, New York In Lotring Icmoru of Our jformcr Classmates Janet Bragg [2] Mr V Wdtic Baker Artist at Work DEDICATION That was wonderful!” I never heard a high school chorus do so well!” thrills your companion after one of our high school con- certs. And you glow with pride — pride in your school, pride in your classmates and above all pride in our teacher of vocal music, Mr. Baker. You think over his years of ser- vice, the hundreds of musically inclined stu- dents who owe their deep understanding and love of music to him. Then you think how friendly and rewarding he has always been to work with. In tribute to these qualities and accomplishments, we, the class of 1952, dedicate our yearbook to him. Whether w'c simply know good music thrills us or whether we are future coloraturas, we all say Thanks, Mr. Baker!” A little close harmony [3] BOARD OF EDUCATION Seated, left to right: Mr. Saxe.

[25] ’52 IN WONDERLAND Bump! At last I'm squashed through the door into Wonderland (I'm just a little freshman. I wish I had my magic mushroom to make me big enough to compete with those juniors and seniors!) Before long my fellow freshmen and I are rushing around gasping, I'm late, I'm late for a very important date!” as we try to get from general science on the third floor to English on the first or to Civic Tours Club or to junior varsity bas- ketball practice. Dean Benson, president, Merritt Spear, vice-president, Joe Stay, secretary and Robert Martin, treasurer, begin the parade of officers. Even without my mushroom it seems no time at all before I've shot up to sopho- more-height; and we elect Joe Stay, president; Sandra Kraus, vice-president; Betty Ann Frost, secretary and Henry Schcier, treasurer. At the Soph Hop I dance everything but the Lobster Quadrille. Wonderland's wondering at its new orchestra under Mr. Wahl. Passing regents to become a junior is harder than reciting The Walrus and the Car- penter backwards, especially when the gryphons in Albany make us the first to suffer through their history regents. Even that criticizing three-inch caterpillar can find no fault with our officers this year — Merritt Spear, president; Jerry Harrell, vice-president; Marian Baker, secretary and Henry Scheier, treasurer, nor with the '52 brains filling the Juntos and Minervians. Even the caterpillar would be excited by the nip-and-tuck battle in which the seniors finally carried off the juniors' colors on Class Day. No caucus race works up more steam than does our basketball team as it takes the North Cbuntry League championship with an undefeated season, first in the school's history. The King and Queen of Hearts never saw anything like the heavenly junior prom with which the juniors fete their king and queen, Jerry Harrell and Sally Beaubriand. For that royal pair the painters don't paint white roses red but do paint a building-full of drab classrooms in lilting pastel shades. Now, as we’re roaming the woods for ferns and decorating the stage for the seniors’ gradua- tion tomorrow, my fellow juniors and I realize that in another year we too must wake up to life in an adult world. We're seniors now. We’ve re-elected Merritt Spear, Jerry Harrell and Marian Baker and elected Skippy Rosenberg treasurer. We're making that rabbit who was late for a very important date look poky. There are magazines, yearbook and class play. I’m so thrilled — the play's all about me! But the duchess’ pig-baby was easier to handle than the Ford the first time I tried it in the new driver-training course. Now my long dream's over. It's time to wake up to the real world of problems and grave responsibility. I guess I can handle it. No Mad Hatter's chatter is the sage sense imparted to me by teachers and the workable experience gained, all backed by a far-seeing principal and board of education. So, with a snap of the fingers, I'm awake and ready for the life ahead.

[34] THE BARKER In case you’d wondered, those paper-cov- ered editions of Alice in Wonderland you saw around school weren’t the latest English outside reading assignment. The authors of the class play, Carolyn Burns, Nancy Durkec and Judy Manwell, and their faculty adviser. Miss Foss, were hacking a new path through Wonderland for Alice. The play ’52 in Wonderland embodies the wonders, proms and preparations, exams, explosions, games and gaiety. After the trail had been blazed by Miss Foss’ gang, it was up to Mr. Burdick and the cast to guide Alice over it. They liked their trip so much that Alice and all her queer ’quaintances have just about decided to stick around P.H.S.

GIRLS’ SPORTS Archery is one of the most popular individual sports in the fall and spring seasons. This year for the first time, it was possible to have it as a class activity as well as an after school elective. Each year about one hundred and twenty high school girls take part in intramural basketball. Inter-class games and sports days with other schools are held as well as the regular intramurals. Lenore Freedman was basketball mana- ger in 1952. Forty-five high school boys and girls have taken part in the skiing program this year. Classes were held on Rand Hill. Three trips were taken to the Elizabethtown ski center and some of the group did some mountaineering.
