At this meeting Mr. Verner Shafer was chosen advisor, and the following staff of officers was elected: President, Calvin Dunckle, Vice President, Robert Gallop Secretary, Iune Shaulp Treasurer, Shirley Schreyerp Assistant Treasurer, William Fox. It was decided at that time that it would be wise to adopt the plan by which each Senior would bank ten cents a week to help finance our Senior trip. There were three outstanding social events which took place throughout the year, and all were successful. On Ianuary 21, a hike through the scenic Canajoharie Gorge was taken by the class and Mr. Shafer. Later on, Feb- ruary 23, marked the day when our Freshman caps arrived. We were the first class to introduce this novelty to the school. Another memorable event was a barn dance held on March 10. SOPHOMORE The second year started with the choosing of Mr. Douglas Ayres, Ir. for advisor and the electing of the following officers: President, Calvin Dunckle, Vice President, Ruth Whitney: Secretary, lean Zollerp Treasurer, Thomas Maclntyre. During the year, two dances were held, The Sophomore Hop being the most successful financially. IUNIOR We got off to a rousing start our Iunior year with the choice of Miss lean Pitcher as class advisor. The staff of officers chosen was: President, Russell Collins: Vice President, William MacBeanp Secretary, Iune Shaulp Treasurer, Robert Gallo. I In March, a Iunior Iamboree was held, which consisted of two one-act plays with other entertainment. Our Prom was held in April with Red Carino and his orchestra at the Fort, which had been beautifully decorated for the occasion. ssmon Our newly-acquired homeroom, 205, was the scene of our first Senior meeting. We elected: William Fox, President: Charles Iohnson, Vice President: Rosanne Faille, Corresponding Secretary: lean Zoller, Recording Secretary: and Calvin Dunckle, Treasurer. Time's Up , the Senior play, was ably directed by Mrs. Robert Brittain and held in November. It brought out a large amount of talent in our class. Later in February, the class sponsored the Cole Brothers' Circus. Due to the cooperation of the class and our advisors, it was a huge success. We are looking forward to the coming Senior Ball and New York trip. CLASS MOTTO: Excellentia est praemium laboris. KExcellence is the reward of laborl CLASS COLORS: Blue and White.

Several new up-and-coming musicians have been added to the orchestra this year. New music has been purchased and learned. This year has also improved the orchestration.

VARSITY BASKETBALL HISTORY As the 1941-42 season approached, the boys realized that they were in for a real fight. Despite the tact that there were only two veterans back, the season's prospects looked promising. The boys were inexperienced in varsity ball but had a never taltering fighting spirit which dimmed the year's results. The highlights of the season were the two, one-point defeats by Fort Plain. Both games were decided in the last seconds of play. Besides being inexperienced, our boys faced the obstacle of a tough schedule, which accounts for their winning seven league games and losing three, and finishing fourth in the league. They won one out of six non-league games. Let it here be said that C.H.S. this year, had a fine squad of fighters and good sports. 41 -- ff -.- VARSITY BASEBALL FIRST ROW, Left to right: Theron Enright, Salvy Susi, Russell Collins, Merle McDuffee, Richard Ferraro.

Never in all my reading experience, have I come across a greater or more sincere pleasure at finishing and closing the cover of a book as I did just now when I laid on the arm of my chair the sixth and last volume of Carl Sand- burg's glorification of an immortal man, Abraham Lincoln. To try to tell you, or to portray to you one page, one line, or even one word, of this truly magnificent work, would be useless. I could hardly hope to do justice to such a piece of literature. Words fail to tell or to bring forth all that is felt in the heart. The touching and tender character of the man Lincoln is described in words that bring tears to the eyes of the hardest and yet fill the heart with joy. His understanding of men is marveled at. His cherished dream of a reunited republic is hoped for, and in the end, when he passes into eternity, the heartfelt woe of millions is felt by you also. The first two volumes, entitled The Prairie Years give the reader as back- ground and picture of the young Lincoln: of his hopes and fears, dreams, and destiny. As you read page after page, becoming more engrossed as you continue, you feel yourself grow up with Old Abe . It is like being there, seeing, hearing, and talking with him. All throughout the six volumes you seem to feel his presence, and yet you know he belongs to the ages. Volumes three through six are entitled The War Years and deal primar- ily with his tenure in office as President of the United States, and of the tragic and terrible struggle between a nation half slave and half free. Lincoln's trials and triumphs as the sixteenth president cannot help to impress and kindle anew the'flame of liberty. From Illinois we took a man of the people, by the people, and for the people, untried and common, and we returned to her a man glorified with immortality. If anyone of you has not read Abraham Lincoln ' by Carl Sandburg, and there are many of you who have not, I most assuredly advise you to do so. They are the masterpieces of the century in the world of literature. And so the people of Illinois sent this poor, common, railsplitting boy to the White House. They sent him with their prayers, he returned embalmed by their tears. But he no longer belongs to one state or to one nation. He is the world's to cherish and to hold forever. All he was, all he is, belongs not to one people, but to all people. I have read all the volumes once. I intend to read them all again. Already it has repaid me ten fold, and in the end it will repay me even more. Lincoln is gone, but he is not dead. His ideals and beliefs will be striven for as long as free men inhabit the earth. Great indeed is he who rose from obscurity to be called truly the Son of God. After reading of him I possess one wish, one hope, one dream. That is to go to Springfield, Illinois and to visit the grave of this greatest of all men, Abraham Lincoln. And the night came with great quiet. And there was rest. The war years, the prairie years, were over. tThe Latel Silas Athanas Ir. tSophomorel 44 EVOLUTION The ground roars and leaps, The landscape is an inferno, Red heat is reflected from swirling masses of vapor above. Rocks melt and steam into twisting pools. Eons later, a child at play Finds a shining piece of quartz and toddles off with it. BARTON SMITH Uuniorl EYES Thinking of her eyes, Makes me remember Things I never want to forget. A blue, blue sky smiling on Cape Cod Sands, In close companionship with wind and sea, Those were her eyes when she smiled at me. And I remember her eyes when she cried: Dark with sorrow, misty, and tearfully bright, Like wet pavement gleaming under a street light. Eyes that dream, and smile, and sigh Like spring breezes blowing away strife, And singing calm lullabies to life. Her eyes were twin cups from which life overflowed, As does a tiny creek swollen with spring rains, Breathless with excitement, tumbling over itself again and again. Her eyes remind me of all the things I love, They are a part of me. IO ANN LAMPE Uuniorl 45 MY AMERICA ' The Red, White, and Blue that We hold so near: The Star Spangled Banner We love so dear, It's ours, all ours, yours, and mine. With the flag flying near, We hold no fear, And with the anthem ringing in our ear. It's ours, all ours, yours, and mine. With the anthem ringing, our hearts are singing, And the emblem swinging. It's ours, all ours, yours, and mine. The anthem Will sing, the flag will fling, And freedom Will ring For you, for me, for all of us, forever. E CHARLES R. IOHNSON tSeniorl THE VOLUNTEER ORGANIST The preacher in the village church One Sunday morning said, Our organist is ill to-day, Will someone play instead? An anxious look crept o'er The face of every person there As eagerly they watched to see Who'd fill the vacant chair. A man staggered down the aisle, His clothes Were old and torn. How strange, a drunkard seemed to me, In church on Sunday Morn. But as he touched the organ keys, Without a single Word, The melody that followed was The sweetest ever heard. The scene was one I'll ne'er forget, As long as I may live. And just to see it o'er again, All earthly Wealth I'd give, to see The Congregation all amazed, The preacher old and gray, The organ and the organist Who volunteered to play. HELEN VAN PATTEN CSeniorJ 46 BUTCH Her big brown eyes looked mournfully into mine when I told her that I had to leave her. For a minute, I thought that she was going to burst into tears. But instead she put her head on my shoulder and cuddled up to me. Her beautiful reddish-gold hair cascaded down over my coat-the traces of which still remain. She didn't say anything. Words were unnecessary. There was something far deeper between us. Then she lifted her little red mouth up to mine and gave me a dainty feminine peck on the lips. Her perfect teeth gleamed brightly as she smiled up into my face. The time had come at last for me to leave her. With determined movements, I scooped Butch from my lap and put the pretty little flirt in her doghouse for the night. ' --Ruth Whitney tSeniorl JOKES When a Scottish barber was engaging a new assistant he pointed out: I pay lower wages in the summer because the work's lighter. But surely people get their hair cut quite as often, if not oftener, in the summer than in the winter? protested the applicant for the job. Ay, agreed the barber, but you donna ha'e to help them on wi' their overcoats. A blushing young woman handed a post office clerk a telegram containing only a name, address and one word- Yes. Wishing to be helpful, the clerk said: You know, you can send five more words for the same price. A I know I can, replied the young woman, but don't you think I'd look too eager if I said it six times? Roses are red, Violets are blue, Sugar is sweet And mighty scarce, too. In New York an Italian was being examined in court after applying for citizenship. He answered correctly questions as to the name of the president and the capital of the United States. Then came this: Cou1d you become President of the United States? No, was the reply. Why not? persisted the official. You pleasa excuse, begged the Italian.
