THE H1611 SCHOOL RECORDER 5 l l l 'llfl llll ; mini! '5 EDITORIALS .139 ,l ONE WORD MORE ln passing through four years of high school, we have undergone many metamorphoses both physical and mental. We shall not forget the rapid changes which these days brought about, but shall look back upon this age of discovery, in which we have come to recognize the sig- nificance of our surroundings, our world, and our universe. But, when this happens, there is one thing we should like you to do, especially when, as an earnest citizen, you may become puzzled about what the correct reaction to some situation or event should be. Remem- ber the depression days so vitally connected with this part of your life, because this time will stand apart as the beginning of a new era for man; an era when our government began her program of conservationenot' conservation of materials to be used for destruction of men in war, but conservation of men, of culture, of life, and the forcesof life. Upon going out into the world, youth feels that it takes over all responsibility, like Atlas shouldering the burden of the world. It is cer- tainly, then, a great relief to nnd the answer to one problem at the outset, to find that we have been shown a way of living with one another instead of against one another. We can say in 1936 that our country is better than it was at the time of the World War, when we first saw light. Our young men are not leftovers, with the finest having been used for cannon fodder. Ours are busy. If they have ambition and cannot continue in school, they are taking over the necessary task of conserving and preserv- ing the nations resources. Others, older, are being helped to develop the countryts culture. Slums are fast disappearing. . We cannot take any credit for what has already been done, but only we have the energy and ability to carry through the task begun, to defeat the insidious evil ever busy beneath the surface of our civilization. Shall we come through?

6 THE HIGH SCHOOL RECORDER mmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmme DEDICATION The ttRecorder staff dedicates the 1936 Year Book to Mr. Richard E. Leonard, a former member of the faculty of this school, whose death on August 10, after a lingering illness, saddened his fellow teachers and the many students, now alumni, who had spent profitable and pleasant hours under his capable guidance as head of the science department of Saratoga Springs High School. Although Mr. Leonardis experience as a teacher in this city ante-dated that of the present graduating class in the field of science, it is fitting that the esteem and affection which he won from his pupils should find expression in this permanent tribute to his memory. PRIZES The Recorderly is glad to announce three new prizes to be awarded seniors this June. The first is the Richard E. Leonard prize of five dol- lars, which will be awarded the senior doing the highest grade of work in chemistry for the entire year. The second is an award of ten dollars and five dollars respectively to those students who obtain the highest and second highest grades in American history, at the conclusion of a full years work. The third is a five dollar award for the highest grade in French. For the chemistry award the school is indebted to Mrs. Richard E. Leonard, for the history prizes to the Saratoga Historical Society, and, for the French, to Miss Kate Batchellor. CLASS HISTORY The memorable day in June will soon arrive when the class of 1936 will he graduated. How glad we shall be, and yet, how sorry! In 1932, numbering 396, we entered the awe-inspiring portals of Saratoga High. Ours was theilargest freshman class ever to be admitted and all the third floor rooms, excepting one, were placed at our disposal. We were not as meek and mild as the upper classmen would have liked; but, much to their chagrin, we roamed around, making our presence felt, often finding ourselves on senior territory, encroaching on senior privi- leges. We were not organized that year but we wisely selected Ruth Har- rington, James Roohan-more popularly known as Ned-and Lohnas Knapp to report our doings in the ttRecorderF HThe-Dance of the Atoms? an assembly program presented by the science classes of Mr. Chadwick, displayed our dramatic ability for our first year.
