ttAgain the shadow moveth oter The dial plate of time P And the final hour of our four years is near. We have come to the end of a year that has been an unusually successful and happy one. In every phase of school life we have been fortunate in advanc- ing a step or two' ahead of any of our predecessors, an achievement, of which we are proud but, nevertheless, one that we hope will be overshadowed by the work of our successors. In debating, the 1928 schedule shows a fine list of forensic Vic- tories with a total absence of defeats, a new record in the history of the club. In athletics we Iind the basketball team advanced beyond the accomplishment of former years in its success in the league and w sectional finals. In the music department we find the chorus with first place honors and the orchestra with third in the Lake Placid contest. This year our school has had for the first time a representative in an interstate oratorical contest. Saratogais representative, having been given first place in the elimination contests, local, district and sectional, 0f the National Oratorical Contest, won third place in the zone finals where ten contestants from seven states competed. This success is a very great honor to the winner, the class of 1928 and the school. 'As we consider these Victories and successful features of the yeafs work, we realize that they could not have been accomplished Without the active assistance of the faculty, to whom we now express ,- ' our sincere thanks and appreciation. tfgk g. . Thus, we, the class of 1928, with a feeling of pride in our achieve- 8; x .4 ,ments, gratitude toward our advisers, faith in our successors and fel- CW ., lowship toward one another, turn to sign our names in the great . ' Alumni register.

4 THE' HIGH SCHOOL RECORDER CLASS HISTORY BY DOROTHY FRICK Recently I found an opportunity to gaze over Father Timeis shoulder into his year book. The page was numbered 1924 and I saw a record of peculiar looking individuals gathering at a school. As I bent farther over, I discovered that it was the Class of 28 entering No. 4 school. I immediately became interested and settled myself comfortably to watch their activities. In December of the same year they took up quarters with upper classmen in a fine new High School. the first one they knew. They explored it from roof to janitoris de- partment, from the Manual Training to the Home Economics suite and they decided that they could not ask for anything better. They began to study in earnest, only laying aside their books on such occa- sions as on the day Mrs. Phelps took the biology classes to Albany. Impatiently I waited for Father Time to turn a page, for the group was no longer Frosh but Sophomores. To Florence Ketchum i and Edward Pilkington fell the task of writing accounts of the hap- penings of this worthy class for the Recorder? The class gallantiy made its way through Sophomore troubles, bade farewell to Mr. Haifieigh and turned to welcome Mr. Calhoon, the new principal. At the end of the year, the school noticed the class to the extent of awarding a few of its members the emblem of the Sportsmanship Brotherhood. Then Father Time turned another page. I hardly recognized the group of Upperclassmen, for they had at last attained that prestige. With royal blue and gold as colors, the class carried these honors with dignity under the leadership of John Hayes. This year Josephine Applegate and George Pierce were chosen to represent the J uniors on the Recorder staff. Class rings gave the group that distinction which every J unior experiences when he wears the class circlet for the iirst time in the presence of an underclassman. Then came the Prom and an opportunity for the Juniors to show their ability to entertain successfully. With a certain joy and regret I watched Father Time turn to the page numbered 1928-joy at their success in attaining Seniordom, regret at the thought that soon the record would be completed. They Wisely chose Robert Hodges and Mary Lynch as President and Vice- President to help surmount the obstacles of this, their greatest year. They assumed with pride and great anticipation the responsibilities of editing the Recorder. At Christmas they took an active part in the exercises Which consisted of a number of actsii of vaudeville. They further displayed their dramatic ability by cleverly staging So
