Opportunities for advancement in your chosen profession, or for participation in the vast industrial program of America will be enormously curtailed as our country limits its production to those implements by which wars are won. Yet it has always been the pride of Americans that obstacles have served as a spur to the realization of our ideals. The men who endured, with freezing hands and bleeding feet, the rigors of the winter at Valley Forge had only their 'fwill to libertyw to sustain them during a seemingly hopeless struggle. The pioneers, who toiled with back-breaking labor to thrust back the frontier, had only their vision of a great nation to fortify them against cruel deprivations. The scientists and inventors, who persisted through tragic disappointments, had only their dreams of service with which to face the indifference of their contemporaries. If adversity calls forth that strength of character and spirit of sacrifice which builds a great nation, then no greater opportunity has been given to the youth of America than is offered today. For never has our American way of life been more disastrously threatened than at present. What do we consider our 'cway of lifen? Lord Tweedsmuir has aptly defined the basic concept of our civilization as 'fthe free development of the personalityf' This ideal has flourished during many periods of history, but never has it developed more fully than under our American system. Individual will power and capacity may differ, but the majority of Americans have the ability and the opportunity to umake something of themselvesn-to develop talents, to create personality, to build character. It is this concept of life which our enemies are challenging. Yours is the oppor- tunity to oppose them-to join with the indomitable men and women who are striving to guard the ideals of our civilization, and to extend its privileges to all peoples. Could material advantages offer a greater challenge than this? MARJORIE TAYLOR VIRGINIA CORNELL JOSEPH BURGESS Valedictorian Salutatorian JOHN FRANK ADAMS Class President Coal: College . . .

Prophecy of the Class of 742 THE night is very still and quiet. All the land lies silent under the mystery of darkness. Above, the skies shine with a sprinkling of bright stars, and in the distance katydids chirp to the soft stir of night animals and birds. It is a good time to rest and think and perhaps to dream a little. In the small hours, imagination comes to life as the body sinks down into slumber. It kindles fire and bursts into all the fine and beautiful things that men would like to do, say and be. Let us recline on a soft bank of green grass. Let us look up at the starsg and perhaps one of them will change into a new, a perfect world for us. Then if we close our eyes and wish, this world may become real, and we may find ourself walking up, up into the night, to the very gates of a new land. Since it is make- believe, we can have it as near to the veritable fairy-land as the one about which we have all dreamed. It can be Utopia: Shangri-La. It can house all our hopes and ambitions, all our wishes come true. ln the back of our minds, we have always desired the wonder of achiev- ing success-complete happiness. Let us make this star-world a place in which all of the things come true that we've always wanted. Here, we shall do what we want to do, say what we want to say. Weill be actors and actresses, poets, musicians, painters, writers, all of great renown. Shall we create this world-this fantasy come true, a place of warmth and sunshine and granted wishes? Then come with me, and we shall explore it together-this lllusaland. As though by magic, we find ourselves standing on a broad highway directly facing an impressive structure. It is a gate to be sure -not pearly though, but made of opalescent glass, with a slide window resembling those of the speak-easies before the repeal of the 18th amendment. Knock once, twice, thrice and the slot slides open and out pops a head. The face is familiar. Who could it be? Then the mist of forgetfullness lifts and we connect it with a voice, a soft melodious bass-Rodger Fryer! With a Step right up folks, make yourself at homelw The gate swings open and we are inside. Our first impression is one of much activity, with many people busy at tasks of great im- portance. The highway stretches out into an endless ribbon in the distance, dotted on each side with buildings, fields and side streets. Our self-appointed guide growls his delight at our unexpected company, and proposes to show us about. We conveniently lose ourselves in a crowd of people and set out alone to see what's what. Everyone seems more or less headed in one direction, so we tag along, and soon enter a large building, the executive department of this country. President Burgess is finishing an address to the chamber with a fine oratorical flourish and relinquishes the floor to the pes- simistic grueling of Congressman Douglas Rook, who makes an involved discourse on the coming down-fall of democracies and the pos- sibilities of war. ltas too early in the morning for this, so out we go again. Racing pell-mell up the street comes a caval- cade of beautiful girls. We leap to one side to avoid collision, scream a welcome to Flumie, Nickie, Joan and Gerty. The afternoon matinee has just let out and all the show girls are headed for home and bed till the 9 olclock opening. lust as welre being dragged over to Gerty's for a coke and cigarette, weire accosted by one of our old pals, Jackie Adams, who de- mands that we come and watch the kids in his gym class beat the stufiings out of Harry Swartoufs team. But after we reach the field, the rival teams and physical ed. directors start a free-for-all over a play on the 5th yard line, so we sneak off to do a little more snooping. For variationis sake we turn off on one of the side roads and find ourselves on Parambu- lator lane. It is here that all the patient fathers and mothers come to air their precious off- spring. There is lack Van Zandt and linny Arnold, pardon-Jinny Van Zandt, parading little Jacky-a blossoming two-year old, and Soapy , rj ,I x a I - Z. iq Q... who cares for Junior while papa Rayme is 1251. earning the daily loaf, and patient Buster Jones who tends his little green eyed monster while Janet kicks up her heels in the theatre. There, too, is Mary Ellen Conklin shaking her long hair and swaying along behind a carriage holding little Calvin. Big Calvin is trailing behind his wife holding a bottle and looking worried. We greet them all and admire the little ones. At the sound of music, we enter the build- ing labeled 'Tine Artsf, Sinking down in big, plush chairs, we relax to the wonder of the piano, violin, and trumpet while Maestro Crain strums delicately the strains of a Hungarian Rhapsody, finally ending in G'You,re Gonna Lose Your Babyn as the house thunders its encore. In a far corner we see .loyce Manley sound asleep, but automatically pounding our old school march, Connie Conroe waving her baton at an imaginary audience to the beat of our Alma Mater. Peggy Smith saws with in- finite grace on a violin, while Laura Furbeck, Helen Wagner, Lois Piper and Peggy Le Fevre go mad trying to arrange an accompaniment for their grand opening at the Metropolitan, they all work patiently at the key board, ig- noring Peggy, who bounces about and refuses to sit and quietly concentrate. .lust as we are dozing off, soothed to sleep by the harmonious cacaphony of sound, in glides the famous Poweris model, Rosy Hill, wearing black net, filmy and sheer. She poses for our inspection and wanders away. We ap- plaud vigorously. Thoroughly aroused, our interest is taken by a section of the hall heretofore unnoticed. Large and airy, it is covered with easels, sketches and draperies. We are told by a very industrious damsel, Doris Edgecumbe, that this is the artist's department Where the designing and painting are done. Edgie, an interior decorator, shows us the plans that she and Elsa Kelp are doing. It is a dining room in green and violet for a rich bachelor. ult is meant, they explain with bashful grins, 'cto induce a feeling for comradeshipf' As we back away in wonder we stumble over an impres- sive bust of a half-clothed woman and leap skyward at the chorus of shrieks that issues from a group of industrious workers. Priscilla Alden ll rescues us from a tangle of material and redrapes the model to show us her latest creation. Dede Wynkoop and Cora Louth crowd up and help explain, with mouthfuls of pins, that it is a ball gown for the current debutante, Miss .leanne Keyser, who is com- ing out that Friday. Bunny Barnard, famous illustrator and artist, runs up with a drawing -L 26 of Jeanne. And, after we dully admire this sketch we make a quick exit in search of more friends. There must be a meeting place-a four corners where the young of heart still congre- gate. And so we accost the first person we see -Claire Hand. She grabs us and drags us over to a drug store explaining in her pic- turesque vocabulary about her nursing expe- riences and boy friends. Egadl What a gang! The air is dense with smoke and noise, but we wade in and scream a cheery 'LHellol Merle Elmendorf is perched in front of a mirror busily cutting her hair, which has grown more than three inches and needs cutting badly, Ruth Hafley is making sketches on the corner of a speech she is preparing denouncing men, wine and dancing, we see Ruth Killough prac- ticing basketball throws in pantomime for her gym class, Ginnie McCormick refighting the Civil War and freeing the slaves as she happily pounds Rodger Fryer,s broad shoulders. fThis is Bodgergs off duty hour.D Jeannie Bennett is sceaming over the din at nobody in general. It all amounts to a family quarrel that took place last night with the maestro. We sym- pathize and glance about. At a table, Mary Alyce Cronk pours over her column for the Daily Double-the town,s newspaper. And Jimmy Montgomery, a prosperous saloon keeper, leers over a big, black cigar at petite Eleanor Long who clings frantically to Brud Boutelle for protection. Then in swaggers Charlie Windhovel carrying a beautiful load, greeting us all in a soft, southern drawl. Franny Ardizone breaks the monotony by go- ing into her routine with a hop, kick and wiggle. She is rewarded by the flashing smile of Eddy Bukwid, a current movie hero. The air is too dense and the noise too fre- quent, so we wade out into the fresh, cool air and bright sunlight. --..,. A A . -5 At the sound of polite laughter and a slight lConlinued on page 281 il. .. 5 , E E 1 A sigh, we turn in at a small 'cchateau frangaisfi and see through the open door three obviously bored people and Morgan Wilkes. What is left of the old school French Club: Pat Cock- croft, Guy Smith, Ruth Cassavant, and Dotty Hodgkins are listening with wonder to what is as bad in French as in English-Morgan and his stories. Not wanting to hear more, we vanish as quickly as possible. As we pause in the midst of our explana- tions, we feel the pangs of hunger, and decide that itis time to eat. We enter a shop, Lucas- Quick Eatsf, and seat ourselves to order a meal. 4'F,K,7' in a ruffled apron waits on us, and the chef, Harry Carmer, a book on miner- ology in one hand and a spoon in the other, regards us soberly from the kitchen door. Teachers, Betty Wells and Bubbles Saint, at the adjoining table are busily talking over the problems of students and the advantages of progressive education-while Clem Munger and Lynn Markham make bets on who can land his airplane on the top of a speeding auto without being killed. We choke slightly on the Mtv bone steak and the raving of these well known aviators and finish a hurried meal. But now, as mere flesh and blood will, we are tired from our excursions and would that we could recline and talk. We wander aimlessly along the street until we arrive at a shady nook in a park. There we rest the weary limbs and strike up a conversa- tion with two handsome gentlemen-musicians by profession-Neil Henry and Scott Rowe. One thing leading to another, they begin to tell us about our friends and former class mates. Here is the gist of our conversation- Adrian Arnold, we learn, is a bowling alley manager who plays the harmonica on the side. And LeRoy Cook, following in his brotherfs footsteps, is the ofhcial mail carrier, one of the most welcome people of this land. There are hundreds of successful business women here. A few that we know, that now own their own businesses or work in big concerns at fabulous wages are Madelyn Chesbro, Marguerite Barber, Domenica Donato, Anita Rockefeller, Anne Bercharlie, and Mildred Brickman. There are a few unusual occupations that the more imaginative of our pals have taken up. For instance, Sis Secor is breeding thorobred horses, known far and wide for their speed and beauty. Elizabeth Simpson, recalled to us by her shock of auburn hair and fiery temper, is now a fine lawyer, Kenneth Elkinton is on the Police Force, and because his arches fell -L 28 pounding a beat, he was promoted to inspector. Dolly Pastoria, another red head with an equally red temper, is the most popular in- structor in the new Y. W. C. A. Marcia Mark- ham is a librarian, Roland Van Liew an officer in the Navy, John Kawczak a brakeman on the Central Railroad and Vera McMillen and Doris Nichols are noted aviatrices. Then, for the protection of the beautiful woods of lllusa- land there is Whitey Howarth, the Forest Ranger. Scott and Neil ask us if we remember Bob Grant. Bob is doing pretty wonderful work as T .,. rf? f ,... t - 1' , , V 1 is . i i ll frm. I far r, ,gg a-l7 ' 'If E MY!! f ,lla a foreign diplomat and spending spare time on commercial exploration. It seems heis working for a hat company and is searching for new kinds of birds for womenis chapeaux. ltls his way of relaxing. Barbara Saulsbury, laboratory technician, has made herself famous for discovering a cure for love sickness. Also along that line, we learn that Mig Pas- toria, Janet Lewis, Ann Hartzell, Ginnie Lounsbury and Ginny Miller are nurses in the hospital down the street a way. So popular are these personable young ladies that proposals for marraige are a routine procedure. We also find that Jessie Tryon is a teacher in the local grade school. 4'And did you,', conclude the boys proudly, notice the gates through which you entered this city?'7 We assured him that we did. They were made by our electrical engineers, Joe Gage and Corky Nasnerf, Digesting this bit of news, we thanked our informative friends, and rested, strolled out for another look-see. Along the side of a store there is a large sign, 4'Town Hall tonight. The Naughtiest and Funniest Show of the Season, Come One, Come Allfi So off we stream towards the hall to see for ourselves. Trucking down the avenue in front of us are Mary Jane Patten, Mary Lou Watkins and Carol Mor- J. ..-T .l. rison, who greet us and sail along. Bill Heffer- nan, a fish pole slung over his arm, trots along whistling uFishie Fishie in the Brookw to the tune of 'QYankee Doodlef, Then up barges Harry Gochee and Turtle Taylor to ask us when the show starts and will there be any pretty girls? Then just as we reach the door of the Hall, we hear the screach of brakes and up rattles Valley Wells in his puddle jumper. He hops out, and we all enter together and prepare for the best. The lights dim, the curtain parts and there stands Miss Ginny Cornell in black satin tights reading the prologue. At the close of her touching recital the curtain closes, to open again on the lavish decorations of a burlesque show. Out prance a bevy of beautiful girls, Romona Del Rio, Shirley Hartnett, Helen Steede, Stacia Gagner and many others. Their partners include such notables as Sydney Dixon, Raymond Mason, Gerald Smith. There is much kicking of legs and throwing of arms before the stage finally clears. Then Hazard Covey and Don Youmans come tripping along and give a slightly off color imitation of two nigger mamrnies. Helen Prue in the approved style renders a south sea dance in grass skirt and garlands of hibiscus to the immense ap- proval of Leonard Tompkins who shows a dis- tinct desire to climb up on the stage and dance too. After the applause for Miss Prue subsides, two very sober gentlemen, Frank Howd and Allan Raymond, make their appearance, and with the remark, HWho was that lady I saw you with the other night, they proceed to convulse us with mirth and merriment at their streams of witty jokes all as bad as the first one. Next on the glittering stage is a person- able trio, Minnie Gregory, Irene Jensen, Hilda Martin dressed in drudgeries, carrying picks, shovels, axes. They mournfully sing about uTheir Men Who Done Left Them To Support Their Little Ones All By Themselves? As they finish, we wipe away a tear. Marrietta Klapp swings into a can can dance with lots of ruffles flying and kisses thrown about indiscrim- inately. We become our cheerful selves again. Next comes the closing speech of the owner and director, Al Dieter. With a few well chosen remarks he painlessly extracts us from our seats and starts us on our way. Leaving, we nearly trip over Henry ,lablanowski who is on his hands and knees trying to sneak back- stage. We gently apprehend him and push him towards the exit. As quickly as possible we hurry from the building down the street to the gate through which we entered this land. We find the door- man back on the job, and so we chat for a few minutes before departing from this strange country. Hark-the cock is crowing. It is nearly morning. Through the gate we go and wave a farewell to our good friends. And so we leave Illusaland, for morning is coming and with the dawn our dreams must end. We must leave now and face the bright reality of morning and the work for the day. But though we part from our friends of the past hours, we will find new ones, not better of course, but ones that will fill their places and our hearts. We see the sun, great and rosy, rising over the tree tops. We see the gay little stars fade out one by one and finally disappear. The crickets are silent and the owls have gone to their nests till dark shall come again. The happy, easy night of dreaming is gone now, and we are faced with a new day-not an easy one, but a challenge to each and every one of us. We glory in this challenge. Indeed, we will make true our dream by hard work and perseverance. We not only shall imagine our success, we will earn it. As we are doing now, so have others done before us, and so will they do in the future-begin a new job, a new day, a new life with courage and high ideals. Let us rise up, be glad that we live-not still in our land of illusion and make-believe, but in a land far better and greater. We have a real, concrete thing to work for and to be proud of-we Americans all. - Al Dieter: uYou still take your morning bath I suppose?

After losing the next two to Roeliff Jansen and Ravena, respectively, the Orange and Black came back to win six straight games. The highlight of the season was the Coxsackie game. The boys from down the Hudson were occupying first place in the Central Hudson Valley League up to that contest. Adams, Simon, and company teed off on the visitors to the tune of 49-20. The touchdown twins, Captain Jack Adams and Dick Simon garnered 106 and 104 points respectively. Lettermen were: Jack Adams, Frank Howd, Earl Jones, Jr., Harry Swartout, Jr., Thomas Ottman, Al Deiter, Guy Smith, Jr., Bob Grant, Hazard Covey, and Allan Ray- mond, seniorsg Arthur Tomlinson, William Flint, Richard Simon, Richard Jensen, George Jamison, Hammond Robertson, Jr., Thomas Potter, James Doherty, and Dwight Ewing, juniors, and Harmon Chichester, sophomore. Junior Varsity numerals went to Herbert Markell, Jack Horahan, Jack Duckworth, Kilmer Jones, Kenneth Knapp, Douglas Paul- son, and assistant managers, Therbert Patter- son and George Garrison. 194-2 marks the third and final year of BCHS participation in six man football. The Eagles will open up their eleven man schedule in 1943, when they meet Lansingburgh High of Troy, New York, on the local gridiron. In 742 the Orange and Black will be supporting both styles of football. The varsity will fulfill contracts in the Central Hudson Valley League, when they meet seven opponents in the six man type of play. The Junior Varsity will oppose reserve squads of Albany Academy, C.B.A., and Albany High School, in a home and home series of eleven man football. lt is true that such stars as Adams, Howd, and Jones will be missed sorely, and it will take long scouting to find new players for their positions. Captain Jack Adams, besides being high scorer was the mainstay of the team, often shouting encouragement and boosting the morale of the fellows. Frank Howd did a splendid job at quarterback for the squad, his brilliant open field running was a great asset, and he was in there every minute fighting hard. Bus Jones, almost alone, handled capably out center position. It was Buster's dependability at this place, and his ability at tackling that will make his graduation a real loss. However, Coach Thompson has many veterans returning, and should round out a neat club. We will again have a tough sched- ule, but if Coach Thompsonas first year with our football team is anexample of what com- ing years are going to be like, we can look forward to many good squads and many good seasons. Basketball ALTHOUGH our 1941-1942 basketball team didnlt live up to expectations, the years, record shows up to be one of the best in the history of the school. The fellows won nine games, and lost seven, against a truly tough schedule. The orange and black was hit by much hard luck during the course of the season. At first Captain Rodger Fryer had a bad back and a sprained ankle, Tommy Ottman had a broken wrist, and Jack Van Zandt was ineligible. be that Harry Swartout, no longer eligible for high Later it came to veteran guard, was school competition, and Allan Raymond was lost for two games throat. In fact, the with a bad cold and sore books show that not once during the whole season was our team at full strength. The highlight of the campaign was a 37-35 victory over our strong opponents from Rens- selaer. That was really a game to remember, and it stands out in our memories as one of -t 43 the greatest high school games we have ever witnessed. Bethlehem was behind with but minutes left in the last quarter, when the attack, led by Jack Adams, started. This last minute rally put us ahead just enough to win, and gave us a victory that I doubt Rensselaer will ever forget. Jack Adams, remarkable steadiness and ac- curacy, was the keystone to our whole offense. Jack scored 205 points in 16 games, to set a new school record and break his own record of last year. Every member of this year's varsity squad will graduate. This year,s varsity men were Jack Adams, Jack Van Zandt, Captain Rodger Fryer, Harry Swartout, Allan Raymond, Scotty Rowe, Edwin Lucas, Tommy Ottman, Buster Jones, and Renny Crain. Arthur Tom- linson will be next yearis captain, and lim sure all the fellows from this year wish him and his team the very best of luck. II. Baseball OUR baseball team this year will have an ex- perienced infield back from last year. Captain Al Raymond will be the main catcher. Hodge Fryer will hold down the hot corner. ,lack Adams will be back at short stop and Scott Rowe will be at second base. Jack Van Zandt will be the first baseman. Other infielders are Al Dieter, Ken Buchanan, Guy Smith and Rudy Ochs. Ernest Call and Doug Paulsen are candidates for catcher and Owen Young will be a candidate for catcher or outfielder. The pitching staff will be made up by Sid Dixon, Bob Hicks, Art Tomlinson and Herb Hafley backed by Pete Goedtle and Barrie Glam. Edmund Rukwid, Dwight Ewing and Quen- tin Turner with Owen Young and Al Dieter possibly converted from the infield will make up our outfield. This year's team hopes to keep up last yearis record by winning the northern division of the Central Hudson Valley League. By do- ing this they have a chance of winning the playoffs at Hawkins Stadium. There will be eight league games, two games with Milne and one with Hudson. The team will have Mr. Hritz as coach and Ray Mason as manager. Track THE track team this year under Coach Thomp- son will participate mainly in invitation meets. They will be: Gloversville, May 9, Saratoga, May 23, Schenectady Police lnvitation, May 305 and Johnstown Sectionals, June 6. Our dual meets will be with Hudson High May 2 and C.B.A. May 5, at Home. Something new will be attempted this year when the track team will have several tel- egraphic meets. The two participating teams will mail the times of track events and dis- tances of field events to the other team, and in this way determine the winner. These will be used in place of time trials during the week. Our men returning from last year are: Frank Howd, captain thigh and broad jumpi , Ed Boutelle t100, 220 or relayj, Jack Van Zandt thurdles, broad jump, relayi, .lack Adams tbroad jump, relayi, Benny Crain thigh jump, pole vaultj, Tom Ottman tweightsi, Harry Carmer thigh jumpj , Loren Smith til-40 or 8805 , George Jamieson tmilei. Besides these men we have many good pros- pects who have not had as much experience. Cheerleading FRANCES ARDIZONE, the captain of -the cheer- leading squad, proved her ability last year and certainly lived up to that high standard in 1941-42. Most of the cheerleaders had been on some squad before and therefore had had ex- perience in leading the crowd and cheering the teams to victory. There was the usual call for new cheers, and those adopted met with the full approval of all the students. This year the whole first squad and alternat- ing groups from the second squad went on the team bus to away games. They gave the fellows 10011 support and promoted school -i 44 spirit among the students. The members of the squads are: Football and Basketball first squad-Frances Ardizone, captain, Ruth Hafley, Eva Saint, ,loan Weaver, LeRoy Cooke, Janet Flume, Virginia McCor- mick, and ,lane Schneider. Song leaders first squad-Connie Conroe, Dolores Unright. Basketball second squad-lean Bennett, captain, Frances McCormick, Doris Tiedeman, Jean Brate, June Grimm, .loan Roxbury, Bar- bara Lewis. Song leaders second squad-Dorothea Pas- toria, Mary Thompson. j. 41- I 1 w M.: wwf Archery THESE girls: Barbara Lewis, Carol Lee, Betty Norton, Jane Atwood, Rosamond Hall, Doris Nichols, Jane Ketchum, Rosemary Hall repre- sent BCHS in action with bow and arrow. The girls gave Rosamond Hall, their captain, full support in making this yearis archery season one to be long remembered. Adding to the interest, Russell Hoogerhyde, a profes- sional at archery, helped the girls after a thrill- ing assembly program in which he performed. Badminton BADMINTON was one of the chief intramural sports during 1941-42. Each girl had keen competition awaiting her at every game. There were tournaments during noon hour and seventh period for singles and doubles. Ruth Sherman, Betty Agar, Betty Norton, Barbara Lewis, Mary Thompson, Vena Weber, Frances McCormick and Jane de Ronde were the most active in this sport. Bowling Team THE bowling team led by Adrian Arnold, who had high average for the C.H.V. League, had a most successful season. The team, comprised of Adrian Arnold, Ken Buchanan, Len Tomp- kins, Bob Hicks, and Ray Mason, won twenty- seven games, while losing only three in the Hudson Valley League, to win by a large margin. Albany High was vanquished twice, as was A.B.C. The scores against A.B.C. on their own alleys are new school records, while the scores against A.H.S. out here are new schools records. Herb Hafley and Guy Smith were the substitutes and they did a fine job, for Guy bowled in both the A.H.S. and A.B.C. matches, while Herb filled in during the C.H.V.L. race. Next year the team will probably be com- posed of Bob Hicks, Ken Buchanan, Len Tompkins, and Herb Hafley from this year's team and a successful year is expected. The averages of this year's team in the league are: Len Tompkins-171, Ken Buchanan-166, Ade Arnold--172, Bob Hicks -154, Ray Mason-158. Their single and triple team records are 976 and 2814, respectively. -r 47 Tennis THE tennis team will be led this year by Buster Jones. Bus and Renny Crain should turn in their share of points in the 10-12 matches scheduled. Others who have played in matches in former years include Dick Simon and Art Tomlinson. Irving Berman heads a list of boys who are working hard to get in to match play. We are hoping to develop new talent from Ken Knapp, Jack Leonard, Glenn King, Dick Steele and Clif Casey. The schedule, not yet completed, is May 2, Hudson, May 11, Albany High, May 12, Milne, May 14, Columbia, May 20, C.B.A., May 22, Philip Schuyler, May 27, C.B.A., May 28, Philip Schuyler, June 2, Milne, June 3, Columbia. Color Captains ALL competition in girls' sports this year was between the four color teams: Rose, Blue, Green, White. Each team had a captain and assistant captains. The duties of these girls were to encourage participation among others on the team, to foster spirit and sportsmanship, and to manage their color teams so as not to show partiality in any way. Special attention was given that all privileges were granted to Senior and Junior High alike. The captains proved themselves most able and willing to fulfill these duties and to cooperate with Miss Michaels in seeing that this system was worked out successfully. These girls were chosen be- cause of athletic ability and leadership shown in previous years. Rose White Ruth Killough Frances Ardizone Jean Bennett Doris Tiedeman Frances McCormick Joyce Ryan June Grimm Virginia Remington Blue Green Joan Weaver Ruth Haiiey Eva Saint Virginia McCormick Peggy Doherty Jean Hartzell Barbara Crocker Dorothea Pastoria il. THIS year's Varsity Club has continued the customary practice of providing for soda pop and cheese and crackers for the members of varsity teams after basketball games. As usual it was appreciated not only by our own boys, but also by coaches and boys of visiting schools. The intramural festival was the big event of the year for the club. Every member was in some way active toward making the festival the success that it was. Boys from our high school, and from our grade schools came and played and had one swell time. lt was through this effort that we are able to have this picture in the ORIOLE. Taking up a challenge, the Varsity Club played the Girls' Deputy Club in basketball. We are planning in the spring to get white crew caps with a V on them, and if everything turns out well, all Varsity Club members will soon be easily recognized. i E 1 1 THIS year the Girls, Deputy Club lived up to the high standards of previous years. Although the meetings weren't orderly, nor the treasury overflowing, the Deputies had a wonderful time promoting sports in the school and par- ticipating in them. By adopting the system of color teams, each student was given more chance to take part. The Deputies also sold cake, candy, and hot dogs at the football games and in this way raised money for any expenses. Through the combined efforts of Miss Michaels and the captain, the Deputy Club enjoyed a successful year. The oliicers of the club are: Captain ......,,... Ruth Killough Assistant Captain .... Jean Hartzell Secretary ........ Doris Tiedeman Treasurer . . . . . . Barbara Crocker 4 1 Deputy Club Varsity Club l , Group Girls' Hockey HOCKEY got off to a good start in the fall of ,41 with gym class instruction by Miss Michaels and a lot of new students taking part. With no varsity games, our playing was limited to seventh period intramurals and after school games. We all put forth special effort through practice to better our technique and develope the skills of really good players. We participated this year, as other years, in a playday sponsored by the Mohawk Hockey Club at Central Park. We played, ate, and danced. In return, BCHS entertained five schools at a playday on our field. We were all divided into color teams giving the oppor- tunity to compete with girls from their own school. Jean Bennett was the captain of Hockey and the following girls are those who rep- resented the best of the hockey players for this year: J. Flume, V. McCormick, J. Epple. R. Hall, M. J. Patten, J. Weaver, D. Tiede- man, V. Remington, J. Schneider, R. Kil- lough, E. Saint, A. Hartzell, S. Hartnett, J. Grimm, M. Ketchum, M. Smith, J. Bennett, B. Crocker, S. McKay, M. Thompson, B. Christianson, R. Sherman, V. Weber, B. Lewis, D. Pastoria, F. McCormick, M. Taylor, J. de Ronde, J. Brate, Ruth Hafley. Girls' Basketball IN Girls' Basketball this year there was great enthusiasm, interest, and participation. Joan Weaver, our captain, lived up to her previous standards. The old standbyes were back for more practice and playing, while many stu- These are a few girls representing each of the Rose Blue Ruth Killough Joan Weaver Frances McCormick Mary Jane Patten Ann Hartzell Eva Saint Vena Weber Shirley Hartnett Jean Bennett Barbara Crocker Christine Norton Mary Thompson Sally McKay Dance THESE girls represent the Dance Group started by Miss Michaels this year. Anything like this had never been attempted before but the idea met with amazing success. This group met every Friday after school and practiced for about two hours. L'Perfection,,7 which of course was never attained, was the goal. During January and February the girls worked especially hard and on February 20, dents were out for the first time. On March 241 the Boys' Varsity played against the girls, complying with girls' rules. The game was not only amusing, but also piti- ful with a score of 25-10 in favor of the boys. White Frances Ardizone Doris Tiedeman Virginia Remington Joan Gilbert Jean Brate four color teams.

The school bought some of the costumes while some were bor- rowed and others bought or made by the participants. The profits from this affair went into Deputy Club Treasury. Those who were skeptical about joining this year will help to make next year's group even more successful. 1511. Varsity Golf THIS year the Golf team will play Vincentian, Albany High, East Greenbush, Albany Academy and probably a few other teams in both home and away games. Our home games are played in Delmar through the courtesy of the Normanside Country Club. This year Tom Potter, captain, will have able material with which to work. Coming back from last year are Al Raymond, lim Howarth, Bob Latten, Charles Windhovel, and Bob Grant. Last year we won about one-half of our matches. As yet the prospects for this year are uncertain. Last year for the lirst time we competed in the Troy Invitation meet at Troy Country Club. Girls? Intramurals THROUGH this year's intramurals, the out of town uathletesn had more time for sports ac- tivities and an opportunity to earn points. To prove the success of this system we find that there were ninety-one Senior High students participating and eighty-seven from Junior High. For these games as in others the compe- tition was between four color teams, namely: Blue, White, Green, and Rose. To begin the year in sports, Miss Michaels introduced soccer. There were games both dur- ing seventh period and after school. The win- ning team of Iunior High seventh period was the White, and for Senior High, the Bose. For the 3:14 games the White teams again took the honors. Next we had field hockey. The Bose and White teams tied for the victorious place in Senior High. However, the Junior High Stu- dents were merely introduced to the funda- mentals and techniques of the game. Noon-hour volleyball was started in the fall and continued in the spring. In archery, the Blue and Rose shone in number of people participating. Barbara Lewis held the high spot for score and next were Rosamond Hall and Doris Nichols. The Rose teams came through with flying colors in Badminton. Frances McCormick was the winner of the singles and Jane de Ronde was second. In the doubles, We found Ruth Killough and Vena Weber on the top, with Jane de Ronde and Mary Thompson fighting for the Blue, not far behind. Tennis began in the fall and was likewise continued in the spring. Doris Tiedeman and Frances Ardizone representing the White team were the leaders in the doubles Dancing and Stunts were introduced by Miss Michaels for the Junior High students. This group met six times and was most successful. Last but not least we had, among our intra- mural activities, basketball. To avoid unfair competition, it was decided to have all Junior and Senior High games separately. First these games were played after school, but it was changed to seventh period, giving two periods a week for the older girls, and two for the others. All four teams played each period, thus reducing the court to half-size. In the latter part of the year, speedball and softball were added to the intramural list arousing special interest. By offering so many dilierent sports, each girl was given the chance to learn how to play more games. In addition to this, the keen competition between color teams taught fair play and good sportsmanship. 1521. . pp Q, 0X7 ,Cf no 'so' M 00 AC' F' f?

It has a multi- tude of important and necessary duties to per- form each week as the governing body of the school. lts members are elected by the stu- dents, and each one elected strongly feels the responsibilities of his or her oHice. The Council must endeavor throughout the year to keep school expenses down because of the continuous growth of the student body. For example, a ruling was passed this year, which was aimed precisely at this goal. It provided that a boy athlete could win only one letter in any one sport. The Council must always be alert as to new ideas by which both the school and its students can benefit. This year, Senior and Junior High General School lmprovement Committees were organized by and worked with the Council. Because of the many changes in school affairs within the last two years, a committee was formed for the purpose of revising the student hand-book. A new hand-book was drawn up and it now contains all the necessary and helpful information concerning the school for next year7s new and old students. -L 54 A plan was devised for the sale of defense' stamps and bonds. It was very successful, and a large percentage of students cooperated by faithfully purchasing them each week. Also, in keeping with the times, a bailer was bought and approximately fifty pounds of waste paper were saved per day. In order that you might have a clearer understanding as to the idea behind the Stu- dent Council and its duties, let me quote the' preamble to the Constitution of the Student Association: 'GTO promote extra-curricular activitiesg to encourage the development of school spirit, which is so necessary and vital for the proper attitude toward education and the activities. thereof, to bestow upon the pupil certain re- sponsibilities and give him a voice in the execution of extra-curricular activities, we, the students of Bethlehem Central High School, do enact, declare, and establish this Constitu- tion for the Student Association?

LSSJ- Senior Glee Club THE Senior Glee Club was host in December for the Christmas Music Festival in which many surrounding schools participated. ln March, buses carried a rousing bunch to Schenectady where they were drilled in sing- ing 'cSchool Daysw for the uLittle Red School- housen program. Their rendition of uChristus Factus Esti' was so excellent that they were asked back again to sing over the radio-this time offering uMadame Jeannette. The Spring Concert came, with last minute practicing to be heard in all corners of the school. The Glee Club was represented by a vocal trio com- posed of Sally McKay, Joyce Manley and Irene Keelan. Among other songs featured at the Spring Concert, was the HCossack Callw with an incidental solo by Joyce Manley. A newly organized branch of the Glee Club was the A Capella Choir. A much smaller group, it made its bow at the Spring Concert with the HHungarian Lullabyf' Wherever they go, our musical organizations will always be a source of pride to BCHS. President .....,...

Like the glee clubs, it was host for the Christmas Festival. At the Spring Concert, various small groups exhibited their talents. A clarinet quintet com- posed of Jack Horahan, Clifford Casey, Bob Blakeslee, Kilmer Jones, and Dave Martin played uChorale by Bach. Frank Hall, Bob King and Fred Gillespie rendered uSuite for Three Trumpetsw first section by Busch. The brass quintet made up of David DoBell, Dick Brown, Loren Smith, George Dewire and John McMillan, received applause for NChorale from Die Meistersinger. Soloists for the spring program were Peggy Smith, violinist, and Lois Piper pianist. A part of the brass section, under the baton of Connie Conroe, played for the home basket- ball games. Here's hoping some year welll have a regular band for every game. President ........... Peggy Smith Vice President ........ Frank Hall Secretary ....

The club met on Thurs- days when, each week, members chosen by the president took charge of the program. This entertainment varied from skits, recitations, impersonations to quiz programs, and proved very amusing. Bob Manley brought us a guest who astonished the club with her make-up tricks. Joyce Terwilliger, Claire Hand and Ruth Hafley caused a sensation after they had been glamorized. ln the fall a Halloween masquerade party was held in the gym. Tommy Ottman was chairman of the party, with Pat Cockroft, Dolores Unright, and Claire Hand serving on the committee. The decoration committee, under the leadership of Elizabeth Simpson and Pat Cockroft, transformed the gym into a very original hide-out for ghosts and skele- tons. The grand march was the high-light of the evening, at which time our judges chose Jean Brate, and Barbara Lewis as represent- ing the funniest costumes, Joanne Scott, the prettiest, and Rosemary Hill, the most unique. Refreshmets were devoured with great zeal after a strenuous evening of games and dancing. In October the Dramatics Club presented its first play in assembly. The play, entitled, F ive For Bad :Luckf starred Joyce Manley and Peter Spatz, with Andy Granato, Dolly Pastoria, Joanne Glen, Danny Darrow, Sally McKay, Doug Rook in the cast. We will never forget Joyce in her role of the naive bookworm as she caused Pete to become a little uhot under the collarw on the appear- ance of his fateful date. Two plays H fV, as in Victoryw and '4Fare- well Cruel Worldl' were given in assembly in March. These productions were under the student direction of Barbara Saulisbury and Roberta Kelly, who did a splendid job, even to the sound effects. Bob Manley, Ken Bu- chanan, Jean Keyser, and Barbara Lewis gave us a good picture of conditions under the Nazi regine in HKV, as in Victoryf' while Bill Wade, Joanne Glen, and Betty Christen- son played the tragic characters in ulrarewell Cruel World.7, As our annual major production, Second Fiddlef, a three-act comedy, was presented in the spring. Joyce Manley, Tom Ottman, Phyl- lis O,Meara, Jean Morris, Pat Cockroft, Doug Rook, Doris Edgcumbe, Peggy LeFevre, and Arno Reichter. Pat will always be remem- bered for her wisecrack, ulf they arenlt mar- ried, then half the world is living in sinff' Phyllis O'Meara showed us how the jilted woman should act, and Tommy and Joyce- came smilin' through in spite of their force- ful disagreements, when they decided that they might as well stay married. The audience was of the opinion that they were avoiding more confusing. Miss Skevington, as of other years, proved invaluable as director and sponsor.

Traffic Squad THIS yearls traffic squad proved to be very efficient in maintaining order around the school. The squad is Captained by Buster Jones with Bob Grant acting as Lieutenant. The trials that have been held for those who didnit comply with the rules have greatly increased co-operation between the students and the officers. i Future Farmers THIS has been a typical year for the local chapter of the Future Farmers. Agricultural leadership has been developed through speaking and essay contests, record-keeping contests, demonstrations, athletic contests, exhibits, co-operative buying, conferences, meetings, and banquets. The officers of the chapter are: Peter Van Zetten . ..,, President Jacob Van Zetten Vice President Bill Perault ...., .... S ecretary Dick Domeruth . . News Reporter Leonard Tompkins ,... Treasurer - Guides THE guide system this year has been highly successful under the able leadership of Mr. McCord as faculty adviser and Charles Agar as captain. The guides were juniors, seniors and sophomores. With the aid of the traffic officers and faculty, We have helped to put a stop to the eating in the halls. As an experiment, the rules for leaving school and classrooms during seventh periods were changed. Since then, conditions have been greatly improved. .K60l. Wm, ,L W 'f s MZ wf! X ,WV 2 V .
