Students have also benefited from additional extracurricular activities. A chapter of the National Honor Society was established in 1958 to give recognition to students of exceptional ability. The Charles C. Beers chapter of the Future Teachers of America, organized in 1959, offers interested students an opportunity to learn about the teaching profession. In 1961, Queensbury proudly fielded its first football team. Other clubs such as Debate, Science, and Audio-Visual are helping students broaden their interests. The past ten years has been a time of development for Queensbury. Our class is proud to have been part of a new and growing school. Pete, Bob, and Carla examine new library books.
