THE HIGH SCHOOL RECORDER 13 ton's touching rendition of The Stepmotherf' Quite a contrast the dialogue between Beatrice Dake and Ned Roohan, which did bring many a hearty guffaw. May 25- Forth to field of recreation, Where much excitement-our invita- tion track meet of high schools of this district, or annual sports-day program. Pleased that We came second but mourned that Mineville again proved to be our Waterloo. Much amazed at dexterity of a Glens Falls youth named St. Pierre. May 29- This afternoon group pictures taken for Recorder. Methinks we did commend ourselves favorably to the eye of art. May 30- Up in time to Witness parade and also ceremonies of Memorial Day at cemetery. This afternoon great event in form of Eastern States Championship Track Meet. Much competition, Nott Terrace High the winner. May 31- This day did seem overmuch like Monday instead of Friday. Thrilling assembly program of drama behind our great World War, with Gene Kelly and Roy Walbridge doing excellent justice to their roles as soldiers. If it be my good fortune to go to the heaven por- trayed on our stage, do no longer entertain fears of the hereafter. Thence to B2 Culb tea for junior girls, Where one Betty Bennett did succeed most admirably in taming Miss Peppy's unruly locks. May 31- Much excitement as we sign up for Senior Ball to be held June 7. Verily does this promise to be the great event of the year. Home and much pondering over class prophecy with my fellow prophet. Alas, that We are unable to foresee a vision of next year's Writers of this column. Best luck to them, Whoever they may be, say I. Very sad now as a I set down my pen, thus relinquishing my Peppy role. Dorothy Lamb, '35

12 THE HIGH SCHOOL RECORDER orchestra concert. Peased at large number and encouraging response of audience. So tired to bed. May 10- This morn a speech in assembly by Miss Ralph on trees and their care. Mr. Van Aller did show slide of wild flowers, very pretty, me- thought. May 14- Pleased, albeit not surprised this day, that Theodore Welton and Russell Lasher did win coveted honor of valedictorian and saluta- torian. List of highest ten made public. All deserving youths and lasses, methought. May 17- Variety in declamations this morn in assembly. Did Weep and laugh alternately as Margaret Mohler and Betty Collins did render their respective deliveries. Excellent speakers, both. After school much moving of furniture to upper hall in prepara- tion for annual B2 Club faculty tea. Large attendance of our teachers, and delightful refreshments in form of tea, cakes, and sandwiches. Boys' vocational conference this day. Pray heaven they obtained practical knowledge of their life work. Verily does our school boast of famous athletes! Mightily pleased at our tennis team's victory over Johnstown. May 21- Overjoyed this day as our baseball team won its fourth consecu- tive victory-the victims being Hudson Falls. This did even our score, they emerging on top before. May 22- Up in good humor and so did miss morning classes and go with chorus to participate in annual Skidmore Music Festival, where other high schools and junior high schools were also present. Nott Terrace did show itself to be most perfect in technique, methinks, albeit other very good vocal groups were on the program. In afternoon to hear instrumental program-bands and orchestras, which did show becom- ing talent. Green uniforms of Benninlgton High Band very pretty. May 24- To auditorium as usual on Friday, this time to hear Ruth Harring-

After our lawful and unlawful debts are paid, we give, devise and bequeath all the estate to which we lay title, as follows: FIRST: We reverently present to the faculty six reclining chairs to be used by them only, for the resting of their weary bones at future Junior Proms and Senior Balls. SECOND: To Mr. O'Brien we give one scarlet tie to be placed in a prominent position on his Adam's apple, so that it may be viewed with envy and admiration by timid freshmen. THIRD: We bequeath to Miss Gorman one set of disguises, in- cluding a red beard, to aid her in presenting Macbeth to English IV classes. FOURTH: To the art classes we leave one plaster cast statue of Venus, to be placed on a pedestal on Marion Place lawn and to be studied diligently by aspiring Michel Angelos. FIFTH : Upon Mr. Van Wie we spectfully bestow one bottle of Wildroot hair restorer. SIXTH: To Mr. Johnson we bequeath one heavy-duty hammer to aid in pounding some physics and chemistry into the heads of all would-be scientists. SEVENTH: To Patrick Blazes Kearney we dedicate the services of our illustrious artist, Joel Cohen, to camouflage the school truck, thus permitting our truant officer to creep up on unsuspecting lads on their way to the old swimming hole. EIGHTH: To Mr. MacGregor we leave the echoes of our gentle voices, to be used as sound effects in his next war play. LASTLY: We do hereby appoint as executors of this last will and testament, the Mayor of Wilton and Hooey Long. l fSignedj: CLASS or 1935, SARATOGA SPRINGS HIGH SCHOOL Witnesses : FRANK ROCK HENRY ALDEN
