THE HIGH SCHOOL RECORDER 3 f EDITORIALS f at nlll 1 ig , MII There is so much hooptedo these days about disorders, experi- ments and continued unemployment that naturally one would expect the one hundred forty or more graduates of our school this year to be more or less pessimistic about the future. Not so. Of course optimism is natural in those who are entering college in the fall. Some are matriculating at Skidmore, Syracuse, Union, Johns Hopkins and other colleges, training for medicine, dentistry, law, and teaching. There are, however, many who are not hoping for a college training, but there are no lamentations about their situation. One young man, who has earned a college entrance diploma with honor, states that he can't afford to go to college and he's ready to dig ditches. This seems to be the spirit of those who are faced with the necessity of earning a living. For those, Edward Martin offers this encouragment in Febru- ary's Harpers: Henry Ford never went to college. Of course he missed something, but he escaped the limitations of organized knowl- edge. He did not know and does not know what is impossible, and in that ignorance he is likely to go ahead and do it. He cites also the cases of Edison, the Wright brothers, Lindbergh, Lincoln, Shakes- peare. True, all these were specialists, practicing craftsmanship in science, mechanics, politics, and writing, respectively. Thus it is that no matter what we do, if we bring to it the right spirit, we shall win. Let us concentrate on the mastery of whatever we engage in. Of course we shall make mistakes, all those who work hard do. It is by these mistakes that we learn. Meanwhile there is nothing to prevent the really earnest student from going on with his education through reading, through special classes in nearby colleges, and even through correspondence courses. James T. Harrington.

4 THE HIGH SCHOOL RECORDER 1 201 ,Of vo: 101 xo: :QQ ,QQ ,0. ,Of ,gr ,QK ,gf ,of ,of ,Of ,QQ ig. ,Qi With this number the fortieth year of the High School Recorder is completed g and it is now our turn, as an editorial staff, to pass on the torch to our successors. In doing so we wish to express our appreciation to our faculty advisers for their untiring guidance, to the business department and its capable typists, to the business men and women of the city who by their advertisements helped to make our magazine a financial success, and to the student body for its literary contributions. Our only regret is that space did not permit the publication of all the material received. James T. Harrington. CLASS HISTORY On June 26 we of the class of 1935 shall join the ever-growing ranks of the alumni. It is our sincere hope that we may occupy some small part of the memories of those who made it possible for us to be graduated. In the fall of 1931 we entered Saratoga High, two hundred and sixty strong. Most of us had a vague idea that we were in quest of education. It is to be hoped that the majority of us were. No doubt we shall all remember that first day as freshmen. Trying to follow those little pink slips was far from easy. Our first error was in judging 308 as a convenient study hall. With no little discomiiture, we were set right by Mrs. Persons and tramped down- stairs to the study hall, presided over by one we later learned to call Aunt Mary. We soon settled down to work with the meek demeanor of tradi- tional freshmen. The upper classmen were forced to relinquish their cherished locker rooms, however, to provide us with additional class rooms. Under the leadership of President Quentin Cole and assisted by James Harrington and William Ingmire, we moved our belongings to the second floor to begin our sophomore year. We knew the ropes by then and were able to look down upon the new freshmen with almost as much disdain as did the upper classmen. Such plays as The Merchant of Venice and The Virginian proved that we had our share of dramatic talent. In the chorus and orchestra a number of us were getting valuable training, which was to stand us in good stead for musical productions in later years. A number of budding artists and poets also made their appearance. With these mere beginnings, we ended our second year in Saratoga High.
