The diabolical idea has grown apace with the times and our present day production is the result. This year we started off great. Our conception of the Oriole was that it should keep pace with world progress. It was decided that the pictures of the girls with the drapes were too formal. How about a sweater? We encountered great opposition to this, but through use of diplomacy we were able to gain con- trol of the situation. The next step was to discard our old style cover for a new and different one. We argued and fought, and finally, by the end of February, we were able to decide on our new cover. We would have the Oriole out on May 1. Everything pointed to this until we began taking group pictures. For an unknown reason we were unable to take all the necessary groups at one time. This was our big mistake. Due to bad weather, it was necessary for us to keep postponing our takes, Time grew short. February, with its snow, passed. March shot into eternity, and still there were no pictures. During this time, however, the Oriole staff wasn't dormant. At our weekly conferences we discussed various topics, made plans, planned and put on a dance, and, in short, accomplished much. About this time we decided to dis- card the old style of department page and to incorporate one more modern. Peg King conceived the idea of the ring picture for the Senior feature page, and then the rest came naturally. As Spring approached with April, we considered taking our remaining group pictures. The schedule was made, the weather was bad: we postponed again. However, undaunted, we bravely set another date. We had a blizzard that day and again we were up the creek. Finally, through some quirk of fate, all the groups were taken as April faded into oblivion. While this was going on, we were making appeals for write-ups. The humor was being created by Marion Snook and jean Weaver. Ruth Gillett and Bob Dysinger were making write-ups. Rich Young was collecting sub- scriptions. Howie Bainer was squeezing money out of the classes and clubs. Adelaide Saint was working on the advertising and Marion Willard was arbitrator for our disputes with the printer and photographer. Finally, the dummy was completed-pictures and copy were sent to the printer. There followed an anxious waitg the proof was corrected, the presses were locked up, and on a glorious june day our Oriole arrived. Our hopes and plans were realized and our book was a success. As editor, I want to thank the members of the Oriole staff and Miss Skevington for assisting as they did. Without their help the Oriole couldn't have been a success. I hope you enjoy the 1940 Oriole , and that it affords you much pleasure now and as you look back on it in the future. Page four NINETEEN FORTY THE CDRIOLE To GLADYS M. SKEVINGTON THE GRADUATING CLASS DEDICATES THIS 1940 ORIOLE, IN TOKEN OF THANKS T0 OUR CONSTANT FRIEND AND ADVISER MOUNTAINS WHAT D0 You COLLECT? My hobby is mountains. Not the actual towering masses of earth and rock that pierce the sky and give grandeur to Nature's landscapes, but moun- tains climbed, or, like Everest, mountains seen from afar. Sharing the vicissitudes of the staff that has produced this 1940 Oriole has brought to mind a number of the rare specimens in my museum of mountain memories. Following the trail of the former staffs, we expected to profit much from their experience, and began the ascent with the hope of an almost effortless climb, like my visit to Pike's Peak by high-powered automobileg but, as on that August day in Colorado we were met by a blinding snow storm, so the Oriole staff ran into many an unforeseen difficulty. It was hard going, presenting unexpected problems, and calling for courage and per- severance and some innovations, but the splendid results have justified the toil and labor, even as the magnificent sunrise over the Pacific rewarded my strenuous, exhaust- ing climb up the steep cinder trail to the summit of Fujiyamag for now I remember, not the stress and strain of the ascent, but the glorious view from the cratered crown of japan's sacred mountain. We faced some testing problems and tempting risks that might have resulted in disaster, but we solved the ones and avoided the others. Thus we escaped the tragedy that might have been, more successfully than those misguided pilgrims of VVest China who year by year climb their sacred Mount Omei, and seeing Buddha's Glory ftheir own shadows projected on the clouds in the valley belowj jump into the arms of their god only to be dashed to death on the rocks. We make no claim to having attained perfection. We have not scaled the dazzling heights of that Mount Everest. We have, however, glimpsed them. While we must rest content to view them from a lower altitude, as I cherish the memory of the gleam- ing, snow-capped Everest of the Himalayas, one hundred and three miles away from where I stood on Tiger Hill, near Darjeeling, India, we greet those who come after us with the inspiring, though strange device-UEXCELSIORX' Page jvc 5181 5. bl .J-I iii If ' , , -6:4 I A 5- -1 . - THE ORIOLE N1NE'TEENFoRTY GLADYS E.

RICHMOND YOUNG Keeping in condition To have a Moll Editor's assistant Virgil The survival of the fittest NINETEEN FORTY THE ORIOLE CLASS PROPHESY SUDDENLY WITHOUT ANY WARNING-I couldn't tell whether I was in the realm of reality or fancy-I was in a sleek super streamlined plane, a 1950 model, which was just landing at the new Delmar Airport, a recent W. P. A. project, which furnished our town with one of the best small town airports in the U. S. I had been away from Delmar for live years with Admiral Byrd's XVI Expedition. I had helped him with the construction of a railroad to the newly discovered Radium mines in Antarctica. As I stepped off the plane, I was confronted by the beautiful hostess, Helen Frink. just as I was about to ask her to have lunch with me, a uniformed pilot, whom I recognized as Hartzell, came running out of a building labeled Arrow Airlines. Inside I saw Viking Holmberg behind the purser's desk with Ruth Ostrander and Mary Hoffman acting as secretaries. Then as I walked through the hall, I noticed on the office doors such names as: james Ottman, President, and james Mott, Vice President in charge of operations. In his ofiice I saw Elizabeth Kling, jean Terwilliger, jane Stodart, and Evelyn Ames typing reports for this large airline. As I walked on into the waiting room, I met Margaret King and Adelaide Saint hurrying to catch a plane for New York, where they were famous models. Outside, I stepped into a cab bearing the names: Adams and Butler, quarter cab. Driving through the industrial section, I caught glimpses of such names as: Fromma and Fuchs Wrecking Company, Glover and Yanz Construction Com- pany. Ahead, over a large factory, stood a Neon sign which said, Bite test after Bite test proves our paper best -Matthew Knapp, President. While the cab stopped for a traffic light, Richmond Young and Frank Stapf marched across the street carrying banners proclaiming, Murray for Mayor-The People's Choice. Across the street in front of a building boasting the names Leonard, Leonard, Leonard and Dysinger, Attornies at Law, stood Ed Hausburg and Ralph Aiken just talking. My cab moved on and drove past one of Delmar's chain theaters owned and operated by Roy Playford. It was featuring a one day appearance of Jim Strope's orchestra with William Hartnett at the Drums and a news reel showing the feats of Joe Dabravalskas in the 1950 World's Series. Since the meter was running higher and higher, I decided to get out and look over the old town a pied. Soon after starting my jaunt, I discovered a building bearing the name The Delmar Times. Suddenly someone flashed out of the door. It was Mollie Kested going after a scoop. Inside I found Ruth Gillet and Peg Phillips in charge of the Personnel Department. Sitting back in his cane bottom swivel chair was L. B. Prince, Editor in Chief conferring with joan MacDonald, head of the Accounting Depart- ment. In the far corner sat Marion Snook preparing her daily column for the Society Page. Then, as I walked out into the main office, I was greeted by the hub bub that can be found only in a newspaper office. Amidst th' confusion I recognized Ann Hannaway, Mabel Sipperly, Vivian Coonley, iois Jones, Page thirty-three 'TP l gl :'?4N1' ...Z--an ffm ill l l' TI-I E ORIOLE NINETEEN rorew ,MDV iffrf 1, . 5 i X'-I ., 'Q 'i,4 Miqsbfy Kathleen Hourigan, Phyllis Henry, and Esther Vanderbilt. In the printing room I saw Willis Mclntosh, Ed Winnie, Trafford Tibbits and George Stutsrim, all working on the presses. just as I was about to enter the New Hospital, I recognized John Grim, head of the Conservation Department, talking to Art Prue, newly appointed Ambassador to Afghanistan, accompanied by his private secretary Arlene Slauson. Inside I was met by four white clad figures, namely: Mabel Salisbury, Irma Secor, Elsie johnson, and Frances Livingstong while behind the regis- tration desk I recognized Barbara Hansen. Typing for her was Agnes Ricci. On my way out I met Marion Willard, who was now head dietician. Since I had been away so long, I decided that I should go back to my old Alma Mater. Upon arriving at the school, I noticed it had changed in many ways. It was now almost twice as large and had recently been remodeled. Soon after I entered I was met by Jack DeRonde, who was now a teacher, and on the card on the door of the Boy's Gym I saw Albert Potter, Head Coach. I could even hear Albie's voice telling some youngster to Pass and Cut. Across the hall in the Girl's Gym Jean Weaver, with the aid of her assistant, Mary Packman, was instructing wide-eyed little girls how to wield a hockey stick. In the In- dustrial Art section Allen Fales was explaining how to use a pair of calipers, and in the Homemaking Room, Betsy Cady was demonstrating how to make a sure- to-rise cake. On the second fioor Betty Barker was teaching the line points in Spanish diction. Then there was a banging of doors and I heard my father's voice saying, H Get out of the car and go to bed, I've got to go to work. You see, it was just the morning after our Senior Ball and I had had a bad dream. ALLEN L. CORNES TO MY VALENTINE Cupid is a mathematiciang With each shining little dart He is sure to jind the locus Of a loving Freshman's heart.

LAUGHTER IS FATTENING Betty Barker: My ancestors came over on the Mayliower. Harry Paige: It's lucky they did. The immigration laws are a little more strict now. Jim Strope: Marion, apple of my eye, I would do anything for you: swim the Atlantic, go through fire and hell, and face the most terrible hurricane for your sake. And, by the way, I'll be down tonight if it doesn't rain too hard. Perry Cox: I dreamed I died last night. Neil Henry: What woke you up? Perry: The heat.

Miss Skevington: Tomorrow we shall take the life of Shakespeare. Richmond Young: What shall we bring, guns or knives? Bill Oliver: Censored. Johnny Zlflurray: Censored. Billie Oliver: Censored. Johnny: Censored. His mother wrote to him at college, and he fainted when he read these words: And please, dear, I do wish you would'nt shoot those little craps. They love life as much as you do. A college freshman was swinging down Main Street in a mid-Western college town when he chanced upon a journeying hobo. Hey buddy, said the hobo. Do you have the price of a cup of java? Not quite, replied the freshman, But I'll get along all right. Political boss Honest john Murray walked into his barber shop wherein were gathered some of the local voters. One of them approached John and whined. That cigar you gave me yesterday tasted like an old rope. To which John answered, Well, just skip it. Page forty-jour c7!ClfiViIfie.4 f V ' 3 fix -fb ' I-an! TH E ORIOLE NINETEEN Fosarv BOYS' INTRAMURALS THIS YEAR the boys' intramurals inaugurated a new system. It is this: to help Coach along, Al Potter was appointed manager of the intramurals. He had six assistant managers who each supervised certain sports. The activities this year included additions over last year, among which were horseshoes, box hockey, table polo, handball, and others. The hard fought double round of basketball was won by Rich Young's team in the major division and by Dick Simon's in the minor. The soccer winners were Eddie Bacher's team in the major ,and Chet Oliver's in the minor. The touch-football winners of last Fall are also Eddie Bacher's team in the major division and Chet Oliver's in the minor. The leading event in this Spring's intramural program will be the annual softball league. GIRLS' INTRAMURALS HOCKEY: The champions of the interclass teams were the Seniors, whose captain was Mollie Kested. It rained too much to schedule many games. BASKETBALL: In the Junior High league Jean Hartzell's team was the champion and will have its name engraved on the trophy. The Senior High minor champions were the Cyclones. The captain was Vivian Coonley. For the third consecutive year the Class of 1940 won the interclass championship and will receive the trophy. We're proud of our record. No captain was elected. SOFTBALL: Mary Packman is the captain and we're sure to have a good team as always. TENNIS: Peggy Phillips was the winner of the Fall tournament. A new triangle system is being worked out for this year. Betty Barker is the captain. BADMINTON: For the last two years badminton has become a very popular sport here. Mollie Kested, captain for the second year, is making it better than ever. ARCHERY: This sport is assuming increased popularity with us. Jean Paige was elected captain. yi, T . if 11 Page lor! -al S21 gg 1 ggi y JI T val Qvig NINETEEN roszw THE ORIOLE VARSITY GOLF THE VARSITY GOLF SQUAD this year includes four letter men from last season: johnny Murray, Jack Ertel, Roy McCormick, and Ed Hausburg.

Coach McFarland is looking forward to a successful season this year with the old squad and the new additions of Swarthout and Van Zandt. CROSS COUNTRY LAST FALL a new sport was inaugurated here at Bethlehem Central. Under the leadership of Coach Butterfield, we got together our first varsity cross country team. The squad was Matty Knapp, Johnny Grim, Bob Simons, Bill Moak, Art Banker, Dick Betts, Bud Moore, and Howie Bainer. The boys participated in three meets, one with Nott Terrace High of Schenectady Cawayj, one with Mont Pleasant High of Schenectady Cherej, and the other at the Schenectady Interscholastic Cross Country Championship Meet. Although we won no meets, we got some valuable experience, and can look forward to much better seasons in the future. ll 0 Dr -lavsn I x il 1 l gn, .i r .--'-- -. . Pg f ty ,E ' 1 W , f .F .

This last was a successful season, to say the least, we having won four, tied one, and lost one. We took two games from Troy High School, won one and tied one with Greenville High School, and won one and lost one with Herne-Knox High School. Our forward line this past year was undoubtedly a very great factor in our having such a good record. Certainly Al Potter, Adams, Mcfiuirk, Murray, Rowe, Raymond, jones, and Van Zandt deserve praise here for a job on this line. VVe can hopefully look forward to a great season next year with many of this great squad back again.
