We relinquish this charge with sincere gratitude to all who have helped us: to the merchants of the town who have made our work possible, to the corps of typists who have faithfully done their unostenitatious share in the publication, to the staff who have given their unstinted services that The Recorder might be worthy of the school, and to the school at large for their support and interest in what we have done. I We relinquish this charge in the confidence that this yeafs Recorder has not fallen below the standard set in former years. We are prsud to look at its pages and see upon them a true record of the events and thoughts that make up our life. Sometimes we can see in them a reflection of the wiser thoughts of the school, and always there are glimpses of the joy and fellowship and common enthusiasm which bind us together. We cannot give up the charge we held without a feeling of prayer for the future. We earnestly hope that in the days to come The Recorder may i continue to gain and to deserve the support of the school, that the class which leaves Saratoga High this year may always be blessed with the: unity and fellowship which characterize it today, amd that the ideals slowly developing in the present may finally reach happy fruition.

Qkkxdpm .bOkaOQOMWv .m.1.m THE HIGH SCHOOL RECORDER THE HIGH SCHOOL RECORDER 5 HISTORY OF THE CLASS OF 1925 By Ruth Hammond In September of 1921, the Old High School on Lake Avenue awoke from its summer nap to find itself overrun by a thick verdant growth which shot up vigorously, even getting in the way of the hardier plants. This new sipecimen finally found its place and tagged itself HFreshmen. All of the new comers in 1921 were not verdant, however, for with them arrived Mr. Haifleiigh, head gardener, and several new assistant gardeners to endure the igrum'blings and groanings of the old building. Through careful cultivation the uFreshman plants found their way through the soil and won recognition when under the leadership of their president, Don Nichols, they gave their first party. By the fall of 1922 the verdant objects of the year before had advanced to the Sophomore stage of their existence. This year Frederick Eddy had the honor of class president bestowed upon him. By September, 1923, we reached the Junior age, happy, in spite of the many disparaging remarks heard on all sides about the worn out condition of our garden spot and its lack of equipments, etc. Great consternation was experienced, never the less, when on Saturday, October 27, our old home floated skyw'ard in flame and smoke. Then was proved the efficiency of our gardeners and sturdiiness of the plants. There was no time for care- ful transplanting, nevertheless the Wednesday followimg found the plants taking root at Number 4 School. Don Nichols became Junior President. Under his direction the tender buds were labeled by means of a new standard class ring and a blue and grey banner, the work of Mrs. Nichols, a kind patroness of our garden. This splendid banner, which was used for the Junior Prom and for many events since, has been the admiration of all our guests. ' After three years of development in the High School garden, the fall of 1924 showed us a distinguished group-Seniors, with Stanley Saunders as president. ' In November we were moved to such a glorious garden, the new Saratoga Springs High School, that the pleasure of our eventual blossoming into gradu- ates is lessened by our regret at leaving. Methinks the roots of love for S. H. S. will always hold. In our new home we have done some real work. We hope to go on record as a financial success in publishing this school journal. We go to press with a commendable balance. Never was The Recorder a better school paper. That the treasury of 1925 is sound is proved by a decision of the class to leave one hundred dollars to the school tor a yearly prize Iof five dollars in science, should the ibalvance after all bills are paid warrant the gift. Under the careful direction of Miss Smith and nandl cionscienti-ows work of the cast, the Senior play tiQuality Street was a splendid success, proving the fitness wet the new auditorium for dramatic events. We have yet to look forward to the Senior Ball, Class Day and Com- mencement which will be a garden show of which to be proud. HeIe we shall listen with pride to the valedictony essay of Ewart Kellogg, and the salutaitory essay of Alice Splain, two ibrilliant blossoms. Never has there been-never will there be a graduation just like ours- we go dgwn in history as the first class graduated from the new Saratoga Springs High School. THE HIGH SCHOOL RECORDER CLASS POEM Out of the house of youth we have gone And the evening is falling oter us Low in the west is the setting sun tOurt in the world are deeds to be donet And the long white roa'd lies before us. What do we hear that makes us shout As we wait while the night is fallimg? The blast of a trumpet ringing wt to: a joyous venture singing ou'U And the long white road calling. What do we feel that makes us sing While the sun its couch is finding? Joy in the gifts that tomorrow will bring tWh'o dares to Ldread what tomorrow will bringD With the long white road Winding. What do, we dream that makes us smile? What fancies are we devising9 Love and peace in the after-while tHeaven on earth for a little whilet And the long white road rising. By Ewart Kellogg What do we see that makes us go Though the night is closing o'er us? A world that needs the men who know tSad for the want of men: who knowt And the 'long white road before us. 1 What do we know that makes us sigh Through the night in peace reposi-ng? A happy age that is slipping 'by tMemorieis of days forever gone byt And the gates behind us closing.

E. W., and He wears no manis collar, alias F. D. E., who, having become curious as to the wihereaubouts of our old classmates of S. H. 'S.et25, are now completing,r the first steps of our quest. The place arrived at is Sahar- emtoga, Egypt, the hang-oiut of the famous crystal-gazer, ttThe Rajah, in this, the year of our Lord, 1940. We were at once struck by the familiar sound of the name of the small desert town, but this surprise Was nothing compared to the shock which came when we found that the so-called tiRajah was none other than tiStanh Saunders. We first saw him stalking majestically towards us, followed by his harem, wearing a. utoga. Yet, in spite of his long flowing beard and turban, he was the same old uStan. He told us that the only reason he took up the in- dustry of medium was that there was more money in it than anything else he could find. Just like him-he was always getting money for some- thing or other back in S. H. S. - Having initiated us into the secrets of his tent, he bade us sit down beside the Magic Crystal Ball, by Which he kept track of his 'former minions otherwise known as -the class of t25 The tent was made dark and after the medium had muttered a few magic incantationis, among which was the mysterious HFair is foul, and foul is rftatirMetlhe 'crystal ball began to glow. And as its filmy contents slowly cleared, the first face that looked a bit familiar was that of Louise Casey. And-Wtrue to her old form, Lou was introducing an illustrious speaker at a banquet of the International Borrowers and Lenders Association, at Washington, D. C. When the auspicious speaker faced the audience after making profuse bows of acknowledgement, we immediately recognized him as nobody else but Kearney O'Connor, Who since graduation from high school had become so popular as a ttpeo-plre's man, that he had been elected president 0f the U S., on the Meal Ticket. Among the delegates to this convention were Kathryn Mulqvueen, E-mlily Lawton, and Clara S-chwa'ner, representing Psalm Beach, 1a.; Tom XSplain and Sylvia Stark, from Cumberland Road, Wis, and also Raymond Millwarid and wife, rnee Emily Longley, accompanied by their maid, secretary, encyclopedia, and financial adviser, Ewart Kellogg, these three delegates representing Quality Street, London. The members of this Association had assembled fbr the purpose of organizing in definite form their policies of forimeri years. As our medium told us that we could find some old friends in the Senate. we called up a view of that august body, and beheld an eloquent Senator rounding out a six-day span of filibustering on, the question of garbage dis- posal. We had no difficulty in distinguishing the active and expressive features of Joe Tanantino, who has been a political rival of the Hon. Donald Nichols, Senator from Gloversville, ever since the election of city officials back in 25. Among the extremely bored members of the Senate we discerned Vera Walcott and Frances McTygue, who, using their right of franchise. gained in the Bolyist Week Affair, had risen to this position as mouillders 0f the nations rp-olicies where their acquaintance Hi with History C probably 24 THE HIGH SCHOOL RECORDER stands them in glued stead. Among the opposition, or the ttMen,s Partyli we saw Hartwell Ciomhs, the uGreat Umeompromiser, and Max Finigel, who had sustained his reputation as an invincible diebater in the world-t'amous Finkel- Biffer debates. These debates were on the momentous question of nDid She Faint or Did She Feint? of course referring to Lady MacBeth, and of course again, having as the opposing speaker our old friend Mike iBift'er, now a portly Senator. Well, we have gotten off the track; mieanwhile, uJoe Tar was still rorattinlg, but suddenly his voice cracked, and at once a ncurlydheaided but rather sophisticated-looking little page ran up with a glass of H203 Imagine our surprise when .we saw the little page 1was Dick Leonard, and, or rather but-the liquid in the glass was not H20, biuit H2804! This was too much; we begged the medium to tune out Washington on his Crystalf and get us something else. Washington faded from our sight, and in its stead we saw a giant freight airplane plunging and reeling thru the air, and piloted be ttHeim Davine, who, ' with Bob Hinman as chief baggage-smasher, was making use of his ipiloting experiences gained in High School. Suddenly the freighter dipped lower, and discharged a large box into a small town on the Western plains, by the simple means of rolling it over the edge, causing it to land in front of a small country store,',where it broke and scattered its cargo of eggs over the terrain, injuring only two teggst. The sttorekeeper, wearing 'a red flannel shirt that just matched his anxger-inflamed face, rushed out and began to berate the pilots for their carelessness. His vehemonice reminded us of Fued Dunson's toildldebatinig form, and, upon bringing our vision closer, we found that it was indeed Fred. Poor Fred! Upon his heels there rushed on-3 of the weaker t0, sex, augmenting his attacks upon his annvoyers from above. This libtle lady, who proved to be our old friend and class historian. Ruth Hammond, had gone out with Fred as his wife to seek the great open spaces. A few miles farther on we saw the buildings of a large ranch, which upon further investigation we found was owned and carried on by a trio of former uamyp-fire girl's: Ella Carr, foreman; Flora Paul, head cow-puncheress; and Dot Costello, chief cook and bottleywasheir. So it was with this result that these three had wonked so hard in camp-fire lore in 1925! Also in this provincial western town we discovered another of our former classmates, now a schooI-teacher, in the act of teaching a class in history under a new system. He was sitting in a large and ctommodious arm chair before the class, and from the expression on his face no one could doubt that that Ameriean History was ttreading like a novel! Easy to tell who this was-Walt Gyngell! At this point the crystal ball began to grow misty, and we econcluded from this that there was nothing more of inetrest for us here. As it cleared again we recognized the palms and beautiful settings of Hollywood, Cal. Ah, could it be possible that we would find anyone We knew at this famous resort? We waited impatiently for the first revelation, which eventually showed us the setting for a great melodrama; tiQualityts Tireatft starring Marion Ericson, with Hermie Bloom playing opposite. History was re. peatimg itself; in spite of Herm'ws daily association with Marion on the stage, he still- remained true to the other 99.44'z; of his family,-to wit, videlicit, i. e.-Dot. Well, well, we might have guessed as much. And here was THE HIGH SCHOOL RECORDER 25 further evidence of dramatic training obtained in S. H. -S., for we had no trouble in distinguishing two busy stagehands who were feverishly dashing about under the directions of a militant-loo'king stage-directoress,eas Hank and Frank, tWeller and McGirr respectivelyi. And there, running true to form, was- Mrs. ttM. R. R., the aforementioned directoress! Things here were so interesting and exciting that we did not want to leave this fascinating city without calling to view some 0f the comedy sets. However, we had no idea that the uGold-Nichols Co, Iukuh hamous comedy producers, had as its chief stock holders-Sara Gold and Irma Nichols, and as its star slapstick c0median-Charles Wilhelm! We could hardly recognize the latter, as he was on Location engaged in a custard-pie duel with WMad Madeline Ovitt, his leading lady. But to return to serious things again, we discovered that the ttshiek type of picture was once more in vogiie. Now who do you suppose this tall, sleekdhairetd, sophisticated, heart rendL mg Arab who out-shone Valentino as the sun out-shines a match, was? We asked Stan for a iclose-up and found the star of the silver screen to rbeeeHeim Forten! He was in the act of the final clinch of his greatest production, and the ravishing blonde whom he clutched to his solar plexus was to all air pearances, Dot Platt, altho we could have sworn she was a brunette in 25! Well, so it goes. Before our view xof. California was cut off, we discovered one more of our former actors, but he had not continued that calling. He was Harold Mc'Neal, who, having served his time as recruiting sergeant for the California State Prison, had now retired and was spending his leisure hours on a small farmkvcultivating Seed tlessi Raisins. Again the crystal ball grew dim, and when it cleared, the sight presented to us seemed strangely familiar. Suddenly we gasped in amazement. and there, before our very eyes, lay the old home town. We were wondering who had had the perseverance to stickiby the old fort for so long a time, and we were especially interested in the affairs of the High School. Here we found great changes had taken place. Student government had become so widely accepted and found to be so wholly efficient that there was no longer any need for Principal or Iteachers, except as a means for creating atmosphere. Mr. Haifleilgh could not bear the thought of leaving the 119W building, and so he still came to the office every morning, altho his entire work had been taken over by student office assistants. He occupied 9. mm- fortable wheel Chair and sat in the office now and then making suggestions as to how the work should be carried on. The real executive of the whole school was Mrs. Richardsonis successor, namely 1Dot Fitzpatrick, who seemed even busier than our former office secretary. Transferring our vision to the auditorium, we saw a play in the process of rehearsal, and there, gestilculat- ing with as much vehemence as Miss Smith had used, was Eleanor VVBSthJl. now a fullflediged teacher of elrocution. And, contrary to anything we C-ovfd have borne in 1925, in the auditorium, at the same time, the xorichestrta was blaring! forth its full volume under the direction-of Lil Vogel whose dulicet voice could be heard even above the base horn! And a glance across the hall into the machine shop revealed a busy iflgure clad in blue overalls industriously sawing off lengths of chalk for use in the school rooms. The intense concen- tration of the worker reminded us of Helen Ritchieis 01d policy of sawing woodft and a. closer investigation proved our supposition to be correct. 26 THE HIGH SCHOOL RECORDER If she was Mr. B'eachis successor, then the position was indeed well-fillcd. As for the faculty that was in 1925, we found some startling develop- ments. Mr. Kelly was no longer gym coach, but was still in the school, as a lecturer, and itis said he will lecture on any subject, on any occasion. And Miss German, no longer an interpreter of Shakespeare, but rather his rival, was writing pliaylets with this one particular idea in view: that there should be no ambiguous passages, either in the stage directions or in the lines; such as confused the class of 25! But .the greatest surprise of this kind came when we saw Mr. Mosher, as construction manager in a large concern, in the act of modeling bird-hoiuses after the plant of the High School. Of course, he was using his knowledge gained during the houn: spent in view- ing the construction of the then new building, fifteen years ago. As our glance took in the city as a whole, we noticed that it had inn creased a great deal in size. And this, in turn had given rise to the in- vention of a peculiar phenomonon whose purpose was to alleviate the diffi- culty of walking up and down the streets. The richly-rewardied inventor of this device, the I'budding apostle of Thomas EdisoneiHenr'y Robinson. And the aforementioned device was nothing more than a moving sidewalk. On the street corners we saw various operators who were shifting gears racing the motors, and otherwise manipulating the machinery of the walks. The most prominent ones were: Dot Kendrick, corner of Elm and Oak Streets; Helen Emerson, rcorner of Caroline Street and High Rock Avenue; and Helen Fitzgerald, corner of East Avenue and Beekman Street. Another brilliant development that had as its object the animation of things in general, Was the substitutions of people for the old silent policemen at street corners. They had made wise selections from the applicants for these positions: Cora Holmes, Essie Sherin, Anna Christopher, Ruth Butler, and Miriam Duffy being the lucky ones chosen. They had been trained to perfection for their new capacities hy Matraz'zo 8: Freeman, famous oculists who had stuck by the 01d bung and had taken up the occupation whiich Ic'oncerned those facial ongans which they had used with such proficiency in High School. The object of all this coaching was to train the silent CU police- man to blink in four ldirections at once, even as the silent Ipolicemen did of old. Speaking of policemen, there is still opposition to law and order, the moist flagrant being a leakage of Coca Cola into the United States from Canada. One of the famous Sroftvdrink-runners who boldly defies: the Federal statute against any beverage whatever, is Walt McNaughton, who by devious and sundry willeis has drawn Lue Sturrdievan and Phloebe Biurpee into the business as his accomplices. Of course no one would suspect them, and so he is made to feel secure. But he and his fellow boiot'limbers such as George Appleton and Erve Hannon, better watch out,- there was a time when Macbeth felt secure, too! Another singular feature of the old town, disclosed by a parting look, was the fact that the races were held all year 'round, but this wa-synot whaxt surprised us most. For we found that Schuyke Bussiinig was now as famous as Ealrle Sandevused to be. Youid never have thought that he would be able to train himself down to the required dimensions for a jockey! Well, old Saratocga had gotten this far, anyway! Our next glimpse, as Stan muttered another charm-Word, was of the THE HIGH SCHOOL RECORDER 27 great Metropolis, New York City, where we were first attracted by a mam- moth sign on the top of a big building. A small figure was moving back and forth on a scaffold painting a beautiful picture on it. And a closer view revealed none other than our old friend and champion artist of S. H. S., Marion Collins. It seems she has made good CU use of her talents. Another word from the medium called up a view of the museum at the Battery Park, of which the proprietor turned out to the that old keeper of our Shekels back in l25,eAnldly Reynolds. He looked very prosperous in that role, too. And there, also, in a mummy case, We saw a very familiar face. It was not a real mummy either, as we learned later, 7lbut only Agnes Traver, who some- times substituted for one. Another attraction consisted of, or was, the Beard tedl Lady, Helen Lynch. This strange characteristic was probably another result of History C! Well, after the vision of the Battery, We let our gaze rove uptown, where we saw a large crowd watching the famous gymnast, Edna Bailey, walking acmss Broadway, forty stories up, on a slack wire. And farther on we dis- covered :a diminutive but vociferous individual, whom we recognized as Alice Sprain, vendimg news;snot in the usual manner, but 'by the simple expedient of shouting i-t aloud at the palssers-by. This is quite the thing now; it saves the unnecessary expense of newspapers, and brings into play a singular char- acteristic acquired in high school life. Suddenly We sensed a. great com- motion, in front of Berlin, Kaufman 8r, Berlinls elite Junk Parlors, which were located near the famous Modiste Shoppe of Mesda-mes Marguerite Clunis and Alsace lKing-tnot Laminel. This shop tnot the junk onel-is famous for its million. dollalj creations and its mannequins, two of Whom we recognized as Mary Galaise and Letitia Guard. But returning to the commotion, we found it to: be caused by a squadron of taxi-drivers tearing down Fifth Avenue in wetdge formlaltion and sweeping everything before them. The leader of these rampant enemies of life and property was ROIg Kiley, who was set more firmly and whose eyes flashed forth more threatening pencils of light than they ever did in any football game. And has his tuxi-driving followers Whirled by we could barely distinguish the firmly set visages of Pat zLalBelle, Liz Durrin, Helen Eddy and Genevieve Burd'iclk. No doubt all this might be a new way of clearing up a traffic jam. Anld themelike the peaceful calm after a storm,estrolllinlg along in the thread wake of the flying wedge, came a benevolent looking apology for a hobo, with a signwon his back reading: WFlrlom New York to San Francisco and Back on Ninety-eight Cents! We eloruld guess who it was. before we saw his face-the wandering boy, Paul Thomas! Our last view thru the magic ball was one apropos to the ending of any tale. It was of the Little Church Around the Crorner, where a wedding was being solemnized, avnid as the radiant lbrirde land blushing bridegroom stepped fmm the door, we saWeAlice Smith and George Ehemann! So they finally got uptoor George! Well, that was too much, even fer a crystal ball, and so a result of the terrific strain to Which we had put it for the last two hours, its light suddenly flickered and went out. The mom was in total and unmis- takable darkness. We all sat there in the ominous blackness somewhat stupefied' :and not a little perturbed. Then, slowly ibut distinctly, weirdly, yet with the deepest sincerity, a hollow voice seemingly coming from the Crystal Ball, uttered in actual words that which we had perceived to be the theme of the whole revelation: Lord!

Frederick Eddy It ans the night of May 8th. A feeling of tense expectancy pervaded the crowded room. A current of whispers rippled through the assembly, but all eyes were fixed on one spot. This might be the beginning of a thrilling melodrama, but as a matter of fact, the aquiaintleSIt and prettiest of romances was the event of that night, as was apparent to everyone from the moment when the curtain rose. Ivt disclosed four characters sitting on the charm- ingly furnished stage, all of them told maids, and three of them unmitigated gossips. Would Valentine Brown propose to Miss Phoebe Thrlossel? That was the ibig question at the opening of the play, and the interest aroused then ran through all four acts until the traditional happy ending was reached. Storm.- times the theme grew pathetic, when Miss Phoebe bewailed her vanished youth. Sometimes it was all laughter at the Irish recruiting sergeant, so terrifying to the gentle ladies; at the old maids-qplrim, but oh! so inquisitive; at Patty, still hopeful in spite of her forty years; or at Ensign Blades and Charlotte Parratxt, the shiek and flapper of that elegant society. But indeed it is hard to do justice to the ability which every actor displayed no matter how small his part.

THE DEBATE C-LUB The saying is uThree times and out but these three years of the Sara- toga Springs High School Debate Club, and especially this third year, have been, so interesting 3.an successful that they have founded a precedent for many years. The meetings, the interschool debates, the special debates and the social side lines have made this one of the best years so far. At the first meeting, September 24, 1924, the following officers were elected: Frederick Eddy, President; Alice Spiain, Vice-President; Fred Dun- son, Treasurer; Ruth Wheelock, Corresponding Secretary; Helen Ritchie, Recording 'Secretary; Marion Eiricston and Paul Thomts, Seargentset-Arms. The first nine meetings held in No. 4 School will always be remembered by the food we didnt throw around Mr. Halladayis r,oom. The first meeting in the new high school was; held December 3. At this meeting a number of new members were voted in. Later in December the annual Christmas ban- quet was held at the Y. About 75 present members and alumni were present. The next day, Dot and iHerm mot Dot King but Dot Costellot did their best to convince the school in assembly that the day before Christmas was worse than the day after. At the special vdtelbate assembly;r the grave question of whether one shpuld buy a Rolls-Royce or a Ford was debated. Ruth Wheelrock upheld the Ford, while John Toomey spoke rather favorably for the Rolls-Royce. The debate was a preliminary to the debate with Troy High School on the topic-ttResolveld: that the proposed twentieth amendment to the Constitution should be adopted. In honor of the debaters from Troy, the Debate Club gave a dance in the afternoon and a dinner in the evening preceding the debate. The affirmative was maintained 'by Alice Splain, Eleanor Westfali, Paul Thomas and Frederick Eddy of Saratoga. The decision lot the judges was 2 to 1 in favor of Saratoga. The team composed of Dorothy 00stellp, Ewart Kellogg, Harry Settle and Fred Dunson was not so successful in upholding the negative side in Troy. Maybe that little monkey, Jo Harrie, affected the decision? On May 15, we met our ancient rivals Ch-atham in a. duel debate on the same subject. The decision this time was vice versa. The Debate IClub concluded its most successful year with a picnic at the Geysers, about fifty members attending this feast And sioetiResotlved that 'the year 1924-1925 was the best ever in the Debate Club of S.

We announce to all the world within hearing dis- tance that the onchestra has passed another successful year. They have filled the auditorium with melody! They have read, they have played, and you have heard! To tell the truth, you clouldnlt help hearing. How often have you not marched into assembly to the stirring strains of itThe 0qu Winner? and, marched -out again to uThe Color Guard? On other occasions, too, the orchestra has regaled its audience Witlh selections loud and lovely. When the High School building was dedicated, the orchestra did its share. It provided melody in the intervals of the debates and the Senior Play; and on othbr occasions also, more can be counted. And' on Friday, June 5th, the grand result of a year's steady work was displayed before the world in a suc- cessful concert. The year was not all steady work, though. No, indeed! The best part of orchestra is the fun which refuses to be suppressed. Sometimes, we must confess, everything sounds bad, very bad, for the cornets race on ahead, and the second violins go to sleep, while the flutes forget to play at all. Well! so much the more fun. It's all jo'llity and merriment and hilarity when the orchestra gets together for an hour's real work. But don't razz the orchestra, friends. RexYle'mBer all the pleasure they've given you, and don't forget to applaud them. They're really a fine crowd of musicians; toot, bang, squeak! GLEE CLUBS With a large membership and good opportunities for practicing, both Glee Clubs have completed a year of satisfactory achievement. Several songs which have been attempted may have lpuzzled the budding Caruso's for several seconds, shall I say? but so far, we have surmounted all difficulties nobly and lifted our voices fearleSSIy on the platform at the wave of the baton, to tell of the uSparkling Sun-lightteevery rest carefully emphasized-or that pathetic tale of the Sweet Kentucky Babe. But, oh, my apologies, boys! Everyone really must admit that you know other songs, and! know them well. Music, as some poet said, in one of his off-minutes, uhath charms. In spite of all we have gone through in pursuit of it, we are ready to agree with him. It's a hard life, Ja very hard life, when you cant read a note or carry a tune. Nevertheless, that sublime moment when you stand behind the foot-lights preparing your courage for that important and impossible interval in the eleventh measure, fortified only by the consciousness of an in'peccable costume and! your best friend squeaking at your shoulder-that sublime moment, I say, repays all efforts. Music, unquestionably, hath charms. That is why we have stuck to it so devotedly through the year, providing melody to regule the ears of the audience on as many oocasionls-n-otably the dedication of the building, and our own Ibeautifu'l June concert. Allto- gether we venture to believe that we have done our 'bit toward establishing the reputation of the school as a home of the Muses and, incidentally, we have a sneaking suspicion that we really have established quite a neat little reputation for ourselves and for our instructor, Miss Winne. THE HIGH SCHOOL RECORDER 36 THE HIGH SCHOOL RECORDER SCIENCE GLUB-1925 With the opening of the New Year of 1925, an activity which for sevenal years had lain dormant in the Saratoga Springs High School, came to lifee- namely, the Science Club. The object of this society is to further the knowledge of science in the most interesting manner possible. This purpose has been advanced by means of several lectures on subjects of interest to the students of the science courses. First among these was a most ed'ifyinsg lecture, ttChemistry and Character by Prof. Bronson of Albany State Teachers' College, given loin March 18. The second of thesehspeeches, uEnergy and the Atom, was pre- sented in a. most instructive and entertaining way by Dean Ellery of Union College, Schenectady, on May 7. Last came a highly interesting talk, Elec- tricity in the Science of Metallurgy by me. Hunter of the rRenzssialaer Poly- tevchnirc Institute, Troy, on May 14. , The omlcials for the year of 1925 were: President, Charles Wilhelm; Vice-Presiudent, Evelyn Sadler; Secretary, Katherine Swartwout; Treasurer, Max Finkle; Warden, Donothy Saunders. President; Louise Casey, Vice-President; VBetty Andrus, Secretary. On Mr. signation of Mr. Ensley, Harry Settle became vice-president for the year. The Science Club owes its success to Mr. Richard Leonard, science instructor and organizer of the group. With the new science rooms and the new equipment, and with such encouraging lrea'deriship, the iclwb should be- come a live force in S. H. S. HIGH SCHOOL RECORDER 3H5; Sindzut Cmmciie W251 ACTIVITIES OF STUDENT COUNCIL 1924-25 The Student Council, with the co-operation of the Faculty and student body, has had a very successful year. The students were given the first opportunity of the year to take part in school government when the home- room representatives were elected. The representatives, composing the greater part of the Council, elected the following officers: Edwin Lantear, President; Louise Casey, Vice-President; Betty Andrus, Secretary On Mr. Lanfear'st leaving school, Miss Casey became president, whileHarDId Ensley Was elected to the office of vice-president. A vacancy occurrimg by the re- signation of Mr. Ensley, Mary Settle became vice-presidenth for the year. The next important act of the Student Council toward improvement of school government was the adoption of the budget :system. This system calls for the paying of a weekly five cent tax by each student. The tax is divided into three sections, 5070 for the Athletic Association, 3070 for The Recorder and 20'7r for the treasuries of the respective classes. This arrangement has greatly improved the condition of the finances of the school. There has been less call for money for athletics and other activities and more available money in the Glass treasuries, despite the fact that the system has been in effect less than a year. It is expected that with such encouraging results already attained, the Itreasuries 0f the coming Senior classes Will be greatly benefited by the plan. THE HIGH SCHOOL RECORDER The Student Council proved itself a working organization when S. H. S. took possession of the new building. At this time a special meeting was held to acquaint the home mom representatives with the new building and the problems it would present. In the first days of occupation the members of the Council were of great help in establishing the routine of school life without loss of time. A pressing issue of the year was the question of the dancing after basket- ball games. It had; been found that this hour of dancing was being marred by some objectionable features which were causing unfavorable comment. This matter was taken before both Faculty and Student Council. After much consideration and discussion, it was decided that school dances, conducted by the various High School organizations, were preferable to the dancing- after basketball games. The first of these organization dances was given by the Debate Club, which had done its best in debate to present both sides of this question to the students. At present the Council is discussing the proposed point system, which aims to prevent any one individual in High School from undertaking too much school work. It may be seen by this record that the Student Council is a worthwhile organization in the Saratoga Springs High School. Betty An-drus, Secretary. Sandor Chas Varsity THE HIGH SCHOOL RECORDER 39 1i 539 ! HL 7 mun... The season: of 1924-25 saw the Blue and white of Saratoga. Springs High School again struggling for supremacy in athletics. From the first, Coach Kelly was handicapped by green material, nevertheless he succeeded in putting fighting teams on the field in every season. FOOTBALL In football Staratoga won five games and lost four. Those to fall before us were Hudson Falls, Greenwich, Granville, who was trounced by the score of 40-0, Mechanicville, and our dear old rival, Glens Falls, whom we! defeated by the score of 24-6. On the other hand, we had to yield to Oambridge, the league Champs, to Union College freshmen, to Gloversville, and to Mechanic- Ville, who turned the tables on us. It was the feeling at the close of the foot- ball season that in winning the majority of the games played, the Blue and White had made a creditable record. Those who will leave the team by graduation this June are Bloom, Nichols, Kiley, McNaughton, Dunson and Toomey, leaving a nucleus for next yearis team in Hays, the Find of this years eleven, Smith, Ritchie, Sturdevaxn, Eighmey, Bailey, Fey, Olds, and Captain Shay. With such a group to start with, Coach Kelly is hopeful of a Winning season next year. BASKETBALL Basketball, although not as successful this year as in some seasons of the past, was, in the main, satisfactory. The record of eight games won to ten: 10st, hardly tells the story, as a. number of our Idefeats wens by very close margin-s, half of them by less than five points. The games played included some well fought contests with Glens Falls, Mechianicville, Glov- ersville and Lansingburg. Among these, perhaps the most thrilling t0 T'HE HLGH SC'HOOL RECORDER FOOTBALL 1924-3 25 THE HIGH SOHO 0L RECORDER VARSITY BASlKETlBALk1924 ,25 Saratoga fans was with our ancient and honorable opponent, Glens Falls, Who succeeded in the last minute of play in caging the game. This was after our second team had defeated the second team of Glens Falls by a close margin. The happiest victory came ?to us at Gloversville where we emerged from a hard fought contest with a three point victory. The team will lose by graduation the services of Don? Nichols, uHeimie Levine, Joe Tarantino, ttWaltll McNaughton, and HT. 1. Ehemann, but Fer- rara, the star of this year's squad, will again donvga uniform as will Feldman, the ttAtlas of the team, Davis, Smith, Hays, Lane, Chiperno and ltDon McNaughton. BASEBALL As we go to press the baseball season is drawing to an end. The record shows the loss of the first four games, but a signal victory over Greenwich on May 23, gives promise, we hope, ofta turn in the tide, with better fortune during the remainder of the season. As the team includes only three veterans, however, we will find our score in the winning column only by practice and hard work on the part of the fellows new to the 'game. Our first defelat was administered by Ballston, who beat us 5-4 after a hard fight. Ineffective hitting by Saratoga, and too much Curtis, the Balls- 42 THE HIGH SCHOOL RECORDER ton pitching avce, accbun-ted for this defeat, close though as it was. Greenwich was our next jinx, as we were again defeated by a single run, with the score 3-2. The contest was fast throughout, only the pitching 0t Nichols and Smith keeping the score of our opponents down. This second defeat was felt more keenly by the team than the first as it was a league set- back with which to begin the struggle for the championship. S-trike'one! Then came Glens Falls, whbse well balanced team defeated us 8-2. Fine pitching on the part of our Northern riv-al was the main factor in her victory, although Saratogais errors contributed generously enough to the Glens Falls score. The next two games were won 'by Glioversville, before whom we went down by the scores of 3-2 and 8-1. These were not won without a strmggle; but once again weak hitting and fielding on the part of the Blue and White gave their opponents the advantage which spells victory. The game with Greenwich on May 23 was next on the schedule, and we'll say this contest, which brought us our first victory, was welcome. The game developed into a pitcher's battle. Smith of Saratoga did valiant Work in the box While Mike Halbmok pitched with equal energy for Greenwich' As stated before, the final score of 4-2 sounded well to the Blue and White, still hopeful of making good in the league contest. A hit! 'TWiO games on May 30 ended the baseball season for 1925. Both games were played ongthe Recreation field, the morning contest giving Greenwich a much coveted victory of 5 to 1 and that of the afternoon putting 'Saratoga in the winning column with a 12 to 2 victory over Fort Edward. The gamq with Greenwich was hotly contested. During the early innings, little scoring was done. At the beginning of the eighth, the score was 1 to 0 in Saratogais favor, but when the Greenwich players came to Ibat they r scored 5 runs and captured the championship of this section. To the on- lookers it was clear that whereas the Saratoga boys 'played hard and played well, iGreenlwi'ch wars the better team. Its chances of beating the winner of the other section 100k mighty good. Soon after iplayinig Greenwich, Saratoga High played Fort Edward and defeated her by the overwhelmingr ssoore of 12 to 2. The fine ipitching 0f 2Dlon Nichols was largely responsible for the low score of the Fort Edward boys. Then, too, the Blue and White players were in a hitting mood. The curves of the Fort Edward hurler pmvedl n0 puzzle, for Saratoga High hit the ball to all corners 1of the lot to the great envjoiyment not the rootens. Herm Bloom emulaited the great HBathe Ruth by hitting a home run with three of his teammates on the ?bases In all it proved to be a. profit- able afternoon. TRACK AND FIELD For the first time in several seasons, S. H. S. fitted out a track team which took part in two important meets. First, in a dual meet with Glens Falls, the Blue and White succeeded in massing a total of 36 points against their more experienced omponents, who carried off the honors with a score of 63. Halperan tot Glens Falls was the individual star, taking four firsts in as many runs, as well as winning .the shot put and discus throw. In the THE HIGH SCHOOL RECORDER mkmmwFFTmeA...wm 44 THE HIGH SCHOOL RECORDER jumping events, however, Saratoga, scored easily, Francis Smith taking tW'o firsts and tying with Glens Falls for the other first. The closest race 0E the afternoon also went to Saratoga, when through a burst of speed at the finish line John Hays nosed out Lyke of Glens Falls. Soon after this engagement Saratoga journeyed to Gl-oversville where 23 points were scored. Although the totals of Glovevslville and Amsterdam exceeded that of S. H. S., the boys returned highly pleased with the results of the trials was they brought with them a silver cur; for the relay event. This cap, which some day will have a place in the proposed trophy cabinet was wbn by the speed of Hays, Maxfield, Meader and Camp. As none of these fellows are Seniors, the school can look forward to more good work from them when they return next year.

The Recorder which comes from the Boys' High School Is a finished product, it breaks no rule. A clever sketch is nHis Last Laugh, iiGossip is great, and thats not half. The Triangle from Emma Willard, Troy, Is an edition that we enjoy. Its whole appearance is quite appealing, Its story nToo Late htas splendid feeling. And hereis a copy of the Laurel, With this magazine we have no quarrel- Weiid better not, or our nose would be jelly, As it comes from the college of Martin Kelly. Nevertheless we suggest a change- Of subject matter, a Wider range.
