In memoriam, Silas Athanas, Ir. 15 WHEN WE WERE FRESHMEN In September, our serious class organized, electing the following officers: President, Mary Kounas: Vice Pfesident, Barton Smith, Secretary, Io Ann Lampep Treasurer, Girard Frank. We chose Mr. Stuart Wessing as our ad- visor. To start the activity ball rolling, we held a scavenger hunt. Next came the exciting Green Ball in Ianuary. In May, we obtained a sideshow conces- sion at the Penny Carnival. SOPHOMORE At our first meeting, we choose George Vosburgh as President, Marjorie Gore as Vice President, Henry Rodgers as Secretary: and Treasurer, Girard Frank. Confident of our ability, we organized the first dance of the year, coming through with a novel barn dance. We did not rest on our laurels, however, but planned for a bigger and better Christmas dance. With a lighted tree in the center of the gym and the whole place decorated with tinsel, it more than lived up to expectations. Big event of the year was our own Penny Camival in May, willed to us by the Class of '40. Surprise of the year was the winning of the second prize in the Fourth of Iuly float contest. IUNIORS By now full of worldly wisdom, we elected Mary Kounas as the President: lack Anthony as Vice President, Ethel Chadsey, Secretary: and Barton Smith, Treasurer. Again we obtained the first dance of the yearn Long-awaited dream of our Iunior rings began to materialize in November. Amidst prayers that our rings would arrive in time for our Christmas stockings, we managed to sell holiday wreaths and cones. Iack Anthony moved to Utica and Bill Wells took his place as Vice President. In March we began to plan eagerly for the Iunior Prom. Easter vacation came after an eternity of waiting and with it the Prom-brecrthtakingly beautiful. Class Night in Iune and we Juniors marched down the aisle, feeling young and envious of the smooth Seniors. SENIORS Realizing that this was the most important year of our school careers, we thoughtfully elected the following officers: President, Barton Smith: Vice Presi- dent, George Vosburghp Recording Secretary, Charles Crocker, Corresponding Secretary, Ethel Chadseyg Treasurer, Mary Kounas. Mr. Wessing, who had stood by us for the years, was replaced as' our advisor by Mr. Robert Coon. Following our custom, we held the first annual dance in September. Soon, we were head over heels in work on our Senior Play. The big day, November twentieth, came and Senior Stars played to Canaioharie's appreciative first nighters . Mr. Vemer Shafer was choosen to replace Mr. Coon who left for the army. The Senior Ball will be held come rain or shine. We are praying that fate will be kind concerning our Senior Trip. 16 HALL OF FAME STUDENT CHOICE FACULTY CHOICE lean Miller ............... ........

Once again the student body of Canajoharie High School has elected members to the Student Council, and doing so has used the democracy so rarely offered in this modern, war-torn world. Only in America can students of a free school have the right to rule themselves for the common good. The officers elected to lead the Student Council were: President ...................................................... Charles Crooker Vice President ....... ....... G eorge Athanas Secretary ......... ........... R obert Fox Treasurer ...................,.. ,..............................

This division collected about 350 books and 200 magazines trom local homes for service men. The members provided post- ers and cartoons in school homerooms for reading material brought by students for service men.

Five divisions are provided for: Air Service, Land Serv- ice, Sea Service, Production Service, and Community Service. Each division has different qualifications for membership, ac- cording to the type of curriculum the students are following, and the different insignia Worn by the members representing the various divisions. Due to the great variety of interests, no projects have been carried on by these divisions acting as units, but the members have been taking part in many community activities independ- ently according to their interests. -Eugene F.

There was a large turn out, and the boys with skill were picked. Five games were played, and C. H. S. suffered three defeats, one of which was a one point defeat at the championship game of the Tri County League. This game was played in Mayfield. -Bill Wells 39 JUNIOR VARSITY BASKETBALL FIRST ROW: Robert Mallett, Everett Stam, Eugene Biltucci, Iohn Dawes, coach: Howard Coso, William West.

VARSITY BASKETBALL As the 1942-43 basketball season approached, the prospects of a successful year were bright for there were a few veterans back, under the leadership of our new coach. Some of the boys were inexperienced, but never did the boys lose their fighting spirit. The highlights of the season were: the two point victories over Fonda and Dolgeville. These thrill- ing games were decided in the remaining seconds. Although our C. H. S. boys only won two games this year, we are hoping to see a team of champions emerge from the tireless work of our new coach. We regret to say that Mr. Dawes had to leave for the United States Army. -Bill Wells I 41 BASEBALL FIRST ROW: Iames Gallo, Herbert Iohnson, Duane Galusha, Iohn Dawes, coach: Richard Ferraro, Donald Lenz, Frank Shimer.

The orchestra, under student direction, played for most ot the assemblies and thus provided music for the student body to march in to. -Ethel Chadsey 46 71,6 MC-T' 'gall egg fa? Nm 1' eff ,Q WE NEED A UNIFIED PLAN FOR PEACE! In spite of the fact that the world ts engaged in War, one of its most outstanding problems is and should be that of establishing and maintaining a just and secure peace after the war is over. Men have dreamed of such a lasting peace for centuries. Some of the greatest of them have struggled to establish their dreams, but though a degree of success was attained in the League of Nations after the first World War, they have failed utterly. Some have believed that to maintain peace we must be fully armed for war. This policy is not even specious. lt has no foundation. lf one nation began arming, its rivals would certainly know and they would start too. When all the nations are thus strongly prepared and competitively armed in preparedness, the stage will be set for war. This was exactly the case in World War l. We in America have nearly always been very desirous of peace. We have hated war and decided the way to stay out of it was not to get in it. This isolationistic sophism sounds very plausible, but it is actually impossible. We cannot stay out of a war just because we want to. All our fixed inter pretations of isolationism were exploded by lctpgnese bombs at Pearl Harbor, and we as a people are angry because of a hated war being forced upon us. Have no doubt that the American people will demand a lasting peace after this war. They will get it if the war doesn't drag out too long so that their hope is crushed, or if our ambassadors don't make shabby compromises which will establish another imperialistic world tending toward war soon again. The youth of America want peace. They will have to live in the world which the older generations leave them, and if it is not a peaceful one-if we do not make use of our opportunities now-the blame will forever be upon us. The greatest threat to peace is that old, revered, but stupid policy of imperialism which was one of the most important causes of the last war and also a cause of this one. The countries of the world were in constant competition before the first World War. All were in a race whose finish line was colonial gains. As a result, they began to arm themselves in case any of the other expanding powers might take too much interest in each other's new possessions. Thus developed the armed camp of Europe, and because of a lack of definite plans for peace, the inevitable and senseless war was the result. When the Allies had won, they made peace plans which again supported imperialism. However, they also formed a League of Nations which might have given the world its necessary unity and cooperation if it had been more strongly supported. But how can peace be maintained when a few greedy nations hold most of the world's resources and force the others to do without? Obviously, a peace under such conditions was and proved to be impossible. The world is smaller now. Advances in civilization have made nations far more interdependent. Isolation, we have found, is an impossible policy, and imperialistic competition is the closest thing to actual war possible. This means one thing. To maintain peace, the countries of the world must adopt a policy recognizing how dependent they are upon one another. They must encourage trade, cooperating and sharing necessary resources more as the unit which they have actually become. In short, this means one unified plan for peace. Barton Smith tSeniorl. 48 F THANKS Yesterday I saw a bird on wing, I saw him fly: I heard him sing. As he alit in an old elm tree He called for his mate, it seemed to me And as I watched this little bird, l recalled some old, old words. If God loves the birds, as all can see, How much more he must love you and meg Yet this creature of song and wing Gives thanks to God in the songs he sings. So why not let us bow down and pray For the blessings we have received today? The late Silas Athanas, Ir. fSeniorl THE CALL Night settled over the vast expanse of field and snuggled in between the houses, wait- ing for the defying glimmers within to go out. Now, night reigned with all its clear, serene beauty. Above shimmered myriads of stars, each a message of patience, a promise of eternity. Dim rays outlined the solitary road and cast fat, friendly shadows. Where by day stood a house, a looming hulk of black leaned against the compara- tive gray of the sky. Nothing here showed life except the creak, creak of a rocker easily as old as its occupant, who lay back totally relaxed, his head a crown of white: and his favorite chair gently carrying him back and forth, back and forth. His eyes were dreamy and half-closed in reminis- cence. The stars burned out his thoughts, yet they were neither of past, nor present, nor future. His past, what mistakes, what foolish rashness, what false values he may have practiced belonged to the life of a man apart from him. He was wiser. The pres- ent and the future held no emotion to be experienced. He had known love-and hate: grief had once robbed him of all de- sire to live: he had used well his claim to happiness. Nothing mattered-save the stars. They taught and inspired. What goodness he found about him he accepted with the satisfaction and comfort with which he accepted those stars. These last years he had watched them twinkling, and he knew why they would stay there forever. They knew no time, for theirs was the heri- tage of patience. Tonight they were waiting for him. He leaned back, ready. A cold breeze stirred the trees and the old man bent forward. His voice burst out, Spud, my coat. Silently he resumed his rocking. Lord, I didn't reckon it would be this cold. I kinda thought-. A young boy of seven or eight emerged from the darkness dragging along with him a cumbersome coat. Gran'thur Gregg. Gran'thur-, he began. Yes? Momma says for you to come in. l know, son. Go in. That's a good boy. Slowly the old man continued his rocking. Taking from his pocket a pouch of tobacco he stuffed and lit his pipe, and then sucked away on it. A pin-point of red pierced the blackness, and puffs of livid, ashen smoke curled up to the midnight heaven. The creak, creak became slower and fainter, and the old man gazed more fixedly at the stars. Lord, I'm ready, but just a few more puffs. For a few moments the smoke continued .upward. Then the red silently burned out. The creaking stopped, and the hoarse whis- per of an old man broke the stillness. Lord, I'm coming. -Esther Giovannone Uuniorl WHAT AMERICA MEANS TO ME America is an island Whose harvest bears fruit for ' all ship-wrecked peoples. It is where the sick and weak seek shelter and a place to do their work unmolested. America is where people argue which team is better-the Brooklyn Dodgers or the Yankees. We make funny pictures of our President and tell jokes about the people we elect to run our government, but this is not a crimvf it's our way of freedom. It is a place Where every one is equal and if some one man tries to dictate to us he changes his mind very fast or the people change it for him. America is a place where people try to improve their ways of living, and every one tries to make a better mouse trap than his neighbor. America means to me a workshop, a play ground, and a dinner table with turkey on it. -Charles Memrick fSophomorel ALL IN A DAY'S PLEASURE The round glow of a flashlight was cast over the ground by a dark, bent figure of a man. Suddenly the figure pounced on something on the grass and my father had caught a fat, juicy, worm for the next day's fishing trip. Of course, the alarm clock had to go off at an unearthly hour the next morning to really start the expedition off right. The fish poles were lovingly spread across the back seat of the car and the pail which held the gruesome bugs and Worms that served as bait was carefully set on the clean upholstery. Then such trifles as the lunch box and rubber boots were tossed into the remaining space. My father wore his specially reserved fishing outfit-the battered hat and suit that mother determinedly had hung in the farthest corner of the back porch. My father patiently explained that the peculiar smell that the clothes reeked with was merely a liquid he had spread on him to scare flies away. Thus, in a hCIpIJY mood he started out. That evening the bedraggled remains of my father, soaked to the skin, walked in the back door. Mother and I, having visions of a fish sizzling in butter in the frying pan, asked if he had caught any fish. Laying his empty fish basket on the table, he delivered an exciting story of his losing a huge one. Disappointedly, I remembered The Angler's Prayer that hangs in our living room: Lord give me grace to catch a fish So big that even I When talking of it afterwards May never need to liel -Mary Etta Roy fSophomorel 50 I S Qui AN' af' Q 2 X l A sh ,, t ff 'viz za. a,.q . r . w .sg 1' .-4 .W x Qi M' 1 'lf 1 ...a - 4 13:5 'G M' ' ' , -N ,I T x, -1 A , 4 v, ., J..
