Few realize that this stretch of road is the culmination of years of progress. From a stone, dirt and cobblestone path to a six-lane highway is quite a step. It is only a small indication of the change that has taken place from the days when the people who built Fort Orange condescended to give even a name to that place above and below the fort, The Colonie . This section of Albany County is no longer just that place between Albany and Schenectady on Route S . It is a community of its own, an educational center of high repute, an industrial hubbub, a residential dream come true. If Colonie has grown this rapidly in the last few years, what can we expect of the future? With sheer wonderment and awe, we humbly dedicate the 1957 yearbook to the ideal that a unified spirit will pervade the area. That spirit was born in the Pine Bush, reared on the pages of history, and expanded by modern phenomena. Now we want it to develop all so that the people of Colonie will know in their hearts that Colonie does belong to them. May they cherish it, nour- ish it, and love it well! 1- 5, Dv, x X' J X- .

I came with the sand, tossed from the desert left in the tomb of Lake Albany. Flourishing on the granite sand, washed from the Adirondacks into the Mohawk by glacial streams, I have nurtured the barriers which have become the symbol of the transcendental beauty of the Pine Bush. Written by the wind, I whisper to you now a rhapsody. ,4 Whispering Pin: . . . While the wind rustled through the Pine Bush area, as a young unsteady sapling, I can remem- ber the Indians brushing past me on their way to the Schenectady massacre. Even today I have flint chips stuck in the roots of my frame. The wind carried many a tale to my ears of incidences hidden by the Pine Bush. I can re- member hearing the everyday noises of the Three Willows Tavern suddenly stilled by the shouts of Jacob Truax, the owner, when the Schenectady militia arrived to arrest him. They suspected him of Tory leanings. Enraged, he seized a toma- hawk, but the troops disarmed him and took him to their barracks. His sons, Isaac and John, pro- with toll gates, at Lisha Kill Road and the Al- bank County Line. I heard that many drivers complained about the rates, ten cents for one horseg fifteen cents for a team. Once only four rods wide, now the Albany- Schenectady Road, the highway was filled with stone and covered with sand and gravel and then the dirt lane ran through the middle. The high- way consisted of three sections by 1889, the middle section, cobblestone and gravel, with a dirt road on each side of it. Every man contributed time to fix the roads of the area. If he did not, a poll tax was collected from him. The toll gates 0 , ,,, ,A .

I can remember when I was proudly display- ing my first foliage, some women huddled to- gether under my spreading array of needles for comfort as their men-folk laboriously tried to help the driver get the wheels of a stage coach back onto the path. It was sunk hub deep in the mire which lined the road. Once again they finally righted the vehicle and eventually they wended their way along to Sha-nek-ta-de, the Trail Through The Pines. A lone stage coach through the pines was just the beginning. A real turnpike developed were discontinued in 1891 and the highway changed. The needles of my branches were really shaken when the first railroad was established by the Mohawk and Hudson between Albany and Sche- nectady. The trains had only three cars, shaped like stage coaches, which were chained together. They lurched so much that passengers confiscated rails from a nearby fence and jammed them be- tween the cars in a desperate move to remain in one place. I was afraid that they might be- come enraged enough to chop me down and use me as a ram between cars!

BRETSCH Supervising Principal As chief administrative oliicer for Colonie Central Schools, Mr. Bretsch fits the needs of a growing school district and no one doubts his capabilities to cope with everyday problems. He works directly under and carries out the policies of the Board of Education, recommending what- ever he thinks is right or just. In executing school policies, he works through the building principals in each of the six schools. General plans for the educational program, such as staff- ing and planning building needs, are his respon- sibilities. Questions or complaints that can not be answered by any other administrator working under him are forwarded to him so that he may answer them himself. BURDETTE E. WOODWORTH Administrative Assistant School business management is just one of the many jobs Mr. Woodworth has to do as admin- istrative assistant in Colonie Central School Dis- trict. School accounting is carried on by him as his role of clerk of the district. Through the bookkeeper he sees that all approved bills are paid and that all payrolls are issued. Transportation and building maintenance are two other important problems he handles. .W---acyl. , ' , fr if , it ,,,,,, BCARD OF EDUCATIO Complete and final control of educational affairs in our district rests with these nine men.

STUDE T TEACHER ,A Whispering Pine . . . Who liveth by the rugged pine Foundeth a heroic line. Emerson Such were the people who lived among my brethern in the Pine Bush, the Shakers. Brought to this area by an English blacksmith's daughter, known as Mother Ann Lee, the Shakers were a religious group. Their claim of Ann I.ee's divinity and their practices of worship enraged leaders of other sects and after much persecution, they set out for America. Actually the United Society of Believers in the Second Coming of Christ, those in the Pine Bush had many unique beliefs. In one book of Shaker rules, the religion is explained as the church which professed revelation, spiritualism, Come, life, Shaker life, come, life eternal, Shake, shake out of me all that is carnal. Night after night, anyone passing down the road could hear songs like this ringing to the rafters of Shaker dwellings. In one of the services, they extended their hands out from the elbows, palms upward to receive blessings in them. Be- ginning with a short trot, changing to a pe- culiar shuffle, they slid their feet along the floor, then would raise one foot about four inches, and bring toes down first. The rhythm would arouse their sensesg they would clap their hands, turn their palms downward to let the sins run from the finger tips. The dancing would end in the frenzied shaking of the carnal, . l I ,fs r ,, 4, ff' ' SX I -' 0' I' I X. 1- , B x N 'X X S N' In 4 ff 4 cl is if-f Qi .14 .- wqffuf i-5, 1: XL 1,fg.f's , -lm .

Of all these elements, to the people who watched the Shakers, the sharing of all goods and the custom of not marrying seemed strange. By taking in whole families as converts, the Shakers were able to increase their fold, but they are now becoming extinct because of this restric- tion. For many years, they opened their doors to orphans but state institutions took over this procedure. The weird aspect of the Shakers that permeat- ed through the Pines was the unusual ceremony they conducted to rid themselves of sin. The Shakers, nevertheless, will long be re- membered for many other things-unusual garden seeds, medicinal herbs, and many items for market such as bonnets, chairs, brooms and buttons. Today, Shaker Road and the Ann Lee Home are the two major reminders of the Shaker era in the Pine Bush. But as a whispering pine, I could tell many stories of virtue and fortitude that would make one realize that the women in the big bonnets and unadorned gray dresses with kerchiefs around their shoulders and the men with their simple work-suits and unstyled broad- brimmed hats were indeed among the heroic line who added much to the rugged pine.

After Labor Day last September, how- ever, any of us who read the above notice in the area newspapers did not utter the usual tsk tsk , and turn to the next section. We were shocked to learn that one of the names on the vital statistics list of week-end casualties was someone who meant a great deal to all of us. Mingled with the horror of our loss was the regret that we had never said all the things we would have said had we known she would be leaving us. We would have told her how we loved her joie de vivre, her carefree manner which came from a depth of character, her zest for living. Her true love of French and her animated pre- sentation of it enthralled us students. We con- sidered learning French a pleasure which would not end with the passing of the Regents, instead it would be a key to future appreciation of the French literature, language, and culture. In English class, too, she could make a unit of work interesting and applicable to daily use. Her lucid instruction and unusual approach made English a joy instead of a necessary evil which had to be endured. Perhaps the most important thing we would have told her was that her example of what a teacher could be inspired us to feel that if we became teachers, we would model ourselves after her. Her versatility in sponsoring class functions, her day by day lessons, her enthusiasm in pro- moting a school newspaper amazed us. She made us feel that if we tried, we could climb higherg perhaps reach the height of which she spoke so hopefully herself. We would have said all of this. Our one con- solation is a phrase in the language she gave to so many: Mon Dieu, Mon Dieu, la vie est la, Simple et tranquillef' My God, My God, life is there, simple and peaceful. SE ICR CLASS DEANS IUVNCL , John F. McGrath Deue William C.

On a cold, still winter night when I was shedding my first coat of needles, a sleigh filled with happy children passed beneath my boughs. In the sleigh I recognized children of many of the families who have settled in Colonie through the years. One of the grandchildren of Isaac Van Valken- burg seemed to be the ringleader of fun. His grandfather had two taverns in the Pine Bushg one at Verreburgh. I noticed one of the Lansings hold- ing court with several of the giddy young girls. He belongs to the Lansings who ran the grist mill at Rudd's Pond. I hear through the Pine-vine that one of his relatives married an Ostrom and Along side of these boys, the McNutt girls made sure everyone knew that they were related to a famous family. Their ancestry included a great grandmother who was related to Benjamin Franklin and two well known aunts who were women doctors. One of the kids listening taunted them with the fact that their aunts were very strict Sunday school teachers! I wonder what these proper ladies thought years later when a bowl- ing alley became part of their property. Not to be outdone by the other braggarts, the Roessle children began to comment on their lin- eage. Synonymous with the Roessle name were the two stone lions that flanked the driveway of few N s- gf i g g an , - , q 7 j ,l , 1 PM gr, N A gi g T: Q S g., i .1lqmle..2M fM. . s. as no they have a real mansion started. Isn't it ironic that years from now their land will become the Evergreen Memorial Cemetery? The children jumped from the sleigh to stretch their legs and I listened to their gay chatter. The Grim boys were bragging to the rest about the huge profit their relatives had realized every year from their toll gate house. At this, one of the Grounds chimed in that his father made just as much money peddling water from his own well to the residents of Albany. He also mentioned that his family was considering moving their house one hundred and fifty feet. Imagine that! the homestead. When some of the sleigh riders suggested that they would probably be stolen, the proud Roessles refuted this by saying that they always had a man on duty at the gatehouse. Little did they know that the whole eleven room mansion would be burned and those lions dis- appear, leaving only one concrete base as evidence of the elegance that once reigned. Theophilus Roessle, a breeder of fine cattle and sponsor of the Delevan Hotel which later was the site of Union Station in Albany, was well know in my Pine Bush and eventually Roessleville was named for him.

In order to de- crease the cost of graduation per person, a great deal of money is needed. Our biggest event of the year, the junior Prom, involves extensive Junior Class planning and considerable expense. It is seldom a self-supporting dance because it is a formal and the number who can attend is limited. To meet these expenses we plan dances and other profit- able activities.

Within our eager reach are the exciting varsity sports, the distinction of our own Historical Club, the challenging beckon of the Drama Club. The taking of new subjects has left us stand- ing in awe! Encountering the marvels and mys- teries of science, the perplexing problems in math and the sheer wondermenr of the romance lan- guages has inspired our curiosity and ambition. Through this wonderful maze we can extract only one flaw. Most of us would rather come to school earlier and go home sooner. But that is a trifle, for most of us are very satisfied, yet still a little puzzled! 9th GRADE HONOR STUDENTS Front Row, left to right: K. Komszewski, M. Virgil, P Nestor, L. Kramer, M. Soffey, S.

The shyness of seventh grade is gone, and, yet, life is still fun. A realization of what school spirit means begins to penetrate. Eagerly they patronize school functions- crowding the dance floors, Hlling the gym at games and exerting good influ- ence on Junior High Student Council. Getting prepared early for the industrial world of shift work, the eighth graders are subject to the split time schedule of education. Willing, enthusiastic, the eighth graders are prepared to become good seniors of tomorrow. Front Row, left to right: D. Leone, A. Acker, J. Cowley, Y. Fagnan, S. Weiss, G. Frender, L. Jacobs, C.

Seventh Grade When passing from class to class it is easy to discern the bright, young, eager faces of the seventh graders. They are in the exploratory stage, everything is new and exciting because they have transferred from the district elementary schools into the larger world of junior high. Going to school on a double shift, these new- comers find it hard to hold meetings and to par- ticipate in activities. Some of their subjects, such as homemaking, shop, art, science and music, are taken in ten week blocks, allowing them to sample Ravish, W. Mayer. Honor tudents many things and to decide wherein their inter- ests lie. Although they are new, they are also willing workers. Apart from senior high, in cooperation with the eighth grade, they have their own his- torical club, dramatics group, newspaper, student council and junior patrol. Their school spirit is tremendous. They have sold the most tickets to games, the most yearbooks, and have made the greatest contribution to Red Cross. If this group continues in the same manner, the class of 1962 will leave an indelible mark on Colonie. Front Row, left to right: B. Davis, D. Dubrow, S. Hamann. Second Row: J. Passamonte, D.

It may seem phenomenal that I, a lonely pine tree, know so much about the ancestors of the children on this sleigh, but, in 1889, for example there were only one hundred 'and twenty-two people living between Wolf Road and Vly Road. Thus, it was an easy matter to know these people. I am familiar with the region below Wolf Road. The Frost family or the Celery Kings owned a large tract of land which later became the road for an automobile concern. The Frost homestead was on the corner of the road later named Tremont Street. The Arbuckles, McElroys, Lockrows, Notters and Klomps settled in this area. The Klomps even- it traveled faster than the old coach lines on the Albany-Schenectady road. In 1795, Moses Beal, John Hudson and Ananias Platt had a hard time drumming up business for their line because of the bumpy roads, spirited horses and mud holes. Their coaches of the latest style were suspended on thick leather fastenings. David Johnson in a lumber wagon, made three weekly trips to Albany from Frog Alley in Sche- nectady with passengers, mail, and sometimes barrels of pork to make up for the loss of passen- gers. On the back of the wagon he tied pine sap- lings to use as brakes. 1' KX 1 e X 4- g il 1 V U 4 I JJJ f'gf??: V, f 3 1' .5 Ng! , .

Of all the children in the sleigh, the Ford boy perhaps had the best business minded family. His family bought the old highway gatehouse in 1894. There was also a Ford's beach which drew crowds of adults and children in the summer. Dairy farm, coach lines, highway gatehouses, race track, and beaches--all these family concerns were a part of this area. I feel much taller and bigger in recalling all of these things and it makes me feel a part of the country as a whole. Some were complaining about the slowness of the sleigh for transportation. One disclosed that Although the roads were bumpy and muddy, the region surrounding them was fascinating. The environment included everything from low flat wasteland, sprinkled with heather and scrub oak, to a jungle growth of green bushes spreading on rolling green slopes. There was a forest with its carpet of pine needles, blueberries, huckle- berries and red topped mushrooms, surrounded by gulleys, canyons, and quicksand. The children clambered back into the sleigh. As they rode out of sight, I thought time changes but not the people. The Fords, Roessles, Lansings and the others will probably always be represent- ed in the Pine Bush festivities.

These helpers are the backbone of the library, willing to give their time and energy for the benefit of all the students in Colonie. Most important of all their contributions is releasing the librarians themselves from the ted- ious tasks so they can assist students in research, help teachers with class preparations, and make plans for the new additions to the library shelves.

Every year in Colonie Central, Student Coun- cil elections are conducted in which students elect those who will represent them in the following year. Operated on a democratic basis, the council compares with the United States Senate. The Sen- ate makes laws and refers them to the president while the council suggests laws and presents them to the principal for approval. Each homeroom is allowed one representative and one alternate. Chief adviser is Mr. O'Brien. In cooperation with the Mohawk Hudson Council on Educational Tel- evision, the Student Council presented a televis- ion program on student government in April over station WRGB as part of their educational series. la Fl 1 SR.

As the sleigh started homeward, the snow which had been falling so freely minutes before stopped as suddenly as it had started and the moon broke through the dark, wind swept clouds, illumining a large, two story, boarded up house. This was the Isaac Truax Tavern and strange tales about it circulated among the riders. The tavern itself was a large two story build- ing made of hand hewn logs. The attic contained a series of bedrooms, while the ground floor had four bedrooms, two at each end of the building, with the main room with two large fireplaces at each side, between them. Two trapdoors opened into the cellar, which was divided into two sec- tions by a brick wall. One section contained the bar. One boy had picked up a rumor that more fMarker I Q Isaac Truax who departed this life October 9th, 1811 Aged 61 years 10 months and 15 days fMarker II j In memory of Catherine Dorlader Wife of Isaac Truax who departed this life August 6th 1886 Aged 20 years 16 mo. 86 days x lay 1 ' XX x lil x 'v - , X A ' N I 5.7- w Q h t - 1 ' X XX 'alklb - -1 Q EPQ if -I fi- - 7 4- . er-A lf F?

Truax, however, followed him and the peddler was forced to shoot at Truax but did not kill him. Some one also revealed that the Truax family supposedly kept giant mulatto slaves who were the ollicial executioners of those whom the Truax clan robbed. Stark reminders today of their own deaths can be found in the bleak tombstones in the Truax family cemetery just off King's Road near Morris Road.

Among the many highlights that made this record possible were Hal Frasieris batting average of .333-high for the club, and Al Feulner's homer, the only one of the season. Since many of last year's stars are back in uniform again, our debut into the Eastern Con- ference should be auspicious. Once more as the team runs on the field, the shouts of the throngs mingle with our cries of Good Luck! . .Wi lf if X 4 'f,....

The Raiders scored crushing victories in five out of six dual meets, and made good showing in the city-meet, intersectional meets and sectional meets at Johns- town. We take great pride in the fact that John Gregg represented Section II at the State Track Meet held at West Point in june, competing in the 100 yard and 220 yard sprints. Although the past season was highly success- ful, with 9005 of the team returning, the '57 season will be much brighter. Veteran record holders such as Bing Wolfstich, John Gregg, Charles Bowers, Bruce Zimmer, Nick Farinella and other letter winners will be returning. All figures point to the fact that Colonie's '57 track team will be powerful and hard to beat. R. Laughlin, R. Witmer, L. Schumacher, J. White, A. Brown. Third Row: J. Mitchell fManngerj, K.

One of the sleigh riders related the tale of Hans Waltimier, a Revolutionary Tory who led an attack on the Albany Schuyler Mansion. When this was repulsed, he fled through the Pine Bush where militia from Schenectady had established a look-out on a .hill, the Uyt Kyckg however Wal- timier eluding them, disappeared in the tractless wastes of the Pine Bush. The driver chimed in with the story of a cer- tain Page clan. Old Man Page was tall, swarthy and part Indian. His son, Levi, was short, stocky and a rough, tough brawler. To the Lansing Tav- ern they would go and there Old Man Page would taunt all the ruffians into a fight with Levi. Then, just when it appeared that Levi was about bany had a legal franchise to trade in furs but woods runners from Schenectady met the Indians in the Bush, bought their furs and then sold the pelts themselves. Albany ordered them to stop the illegal trading, but Schenectady did not listen and Albany had no force to stop them. Margaret Bradt, who lived at Margaretjesburg, gave an Al- bany sheriff a horsewhipping when he tried to arrest her for her illicit fur trading. Someone mentioned that Schenectady and Al- bany quarreled because Schenectadians charged Indians high rates for rides into Albany and refused to stop. An argument broke out among the children whether this trading was worse than the practices to lose, the father, screeching Indian war whoops, would rush into the fracas. Together, father and son would wreak havoc in grand style and, after fairly annihilating the mob, hurl them into the road. Then, their fun over, they would go back home. Another tale concerned the French hermit who had retired to the solitude of the area after wounding a man in a duel. Here he incurred the wrath of the good Dutch burghers because he was a Papist and kept an idol of the Virgin Mary in his hut. Some children remembered tales of practically a fur war between Schenectady and Albany. Al- F, of Albanians who were responsible for the Indians drinking and then stole their furs. Finally in 1723, the high courts of the area decided that Johannes Mynderse had a legal right to participate in the fur trade, and Schenectady at last enjoyed equal trading privileges with Albany. I watched this seventeenth century drama among my brother pines. How aghast I would have been if I could have foreseen that 20th cen- tury motor vehicles would whiz on modern high- ways through the area, their drivers unconscious of the intrigue that once pervaded the Bush. .

One girl divulged that her grandfather was sitting on his porch one evening when a man, dressed in the uniform of a Revolutionary War soldier, and with one arm bandaged, galloped up to the door. He pleaded with her grandfather to be allowed into the cellar where he claimed a murdered comrade was buried. Out of curiosity, the grandfather was about to let him in when the soldier and horse disappeared. One boy, who knew the owner of the Verre- burgh Tavern, recounted how one night the owner saw a soldier dash up to his barn on a lathered horse, jump off, water the horse and then enter the barn. The owner grabbed a lantern, raced into the barn-it was empty! Another spun a yarn about a soldier who stopped at a shack in a lonely section of the Bush where an old man and his wife lived. In the course of the evening, the soldier said he was carrying a large sum of money. That night, while he slept, the old couple killed him. Going through his belongings, they found not only his money, but the fact that he was their long lost son. One sleigh rider pointed out the route that a French spy, in 1757, traveled, seeking infor mation about defenses. He probably passed many taverns which have been known by various names Perhaps he stopped at the Two Mile House, also dubbed the Sandburgh and Christie's Tavern which would be located today near the intersection of Manning Boulevard and Central Avenue. Next came McKown's Tavern or the Five Mile House The Seven Mile House was ,also called the Verre burgh Tavern, Halfway House, and the Corpora tion Tavern. All that remains of it today is a fenced excavation area beneath the first overhead crossing on the Thruway just west of the Washing ton Avenue exit. Further along was the Widow Truax Tavern, and then, the Isaac Truax Tavern on Kings Road before Schenectady. With the coming of the Turnpike in 1800 the use of taverns diminished. Gone were the spies, Tories, trappers, Indians, and finally even all traces of the taverns themselves. No one then knew that bullets, with nails driven into them to provide more death dealing power, clay pipes pieces of crockery, coins dating back to the six teenth century would one day be all that was left to give future generations just a small hint of the once glamorous period of long passed days As if it were yesterday, I can hear the laugh- ing voices of children passing beneath my snow- frosted boughs on their way to school. When the snow was deep, I often saw them wade through the drifts with only heavy stockings over their shoes to protect them from the cold. They often talked about their little one room schoolhouse which was the forerunner of the Maywood School. Reading, arithmetic, and gram- mar were the only subjects ever mentioned so I presume they were the only ones taught. When- ever the children discussed the lumber camps surrounding the school, I cringed in fear that one day I might topple with my fellow pine! I have watched the schools grow from one room to forty. The new high school has 136,706 square feet of floor space and fifty-five acres of land for sports. It seems strange that Cusack's Furniture Store was once used as a school with blackboards as dividers between the rooms. Now when the children pass beneath my boughs, they no longer walk but ride on a fleet of yellow buses up and down the Pine Bush roads coming from every nook and cranny. The tree of knowledge is spreading its branch- es upward in this region. Indeed a noble motto for Colonie's educators is Pope's phrase as the twig is bent, the tree's inclined. Among my earliest recollections is the sound of the rumbling wagon wheels taking families to church. The first church in the area was the Lisha Kill Reformed Church founded in 1852 when its members decided that they no longer wished to attend church in Niskayuna. Trees blown down by a violent windstorm were later used to construct a parsonage. In 1855, the Pine Grove Congregational Church was founded which became the Roessle- ville Presbyterian Church. Little is known of the original building except that it was located across from the Roessle gatehouse. With the help of the Roessleville Presbyterian Church, the Pine Grove Methodist Church was founded in 1857. It was temporarily known as the Plains Methodist Church. I can well recall when the kidnappers who held john Conway captive in the same church warmed themselves by the big wood stove in the church hall. As the years sped quickly by, people no longer traveled in wagons but rode in comfortable auto- mobiles, Gradually, they had more churches of different denominations to attend. Churches that have arisen in the twentieth century are Our Lady of Mercy, established in 1921, Our Saviour's Lutheran in 1929, and St. Claire's, 1931. It is comforting to me to know that religion is still advancing amid the cathedral of Pines. .5 .A s f' ' ' ' ff A Y '-Q I rl A,-2 I E if 'fir E: w rit ',f.I , fp- 'ff Q. fjQN 2 TMR Q -, A- -1 4-L I. 752' k1l4el.

While keeping this valiant vigil, with the wind rustling my branches, the last of my memories mingle with the sands of time. I can remember the Indian traders who trav- eled the Bush, One of them was a man named Duncan who belonged to the firm of Duncan, Finn, and Ellis, Indian traders for Sir William Johnson. Duncan and his family lived on a beau- tiful estate which they called The Hermitage, near the Schenectady city line, where slaves bowed to their every whim. I can remember how the turkeys driven up the turnpike from Schenectady used to roost in the stately pines of the same land after the Stanfords bought it in the early 1800's. Leland Stanford built the beautiful house which still stands now as the Ingersoll Memorial Home for the Aged. Leland later moved to Cali- fornia where he became governor, founder of Stanford University, and sponsor of the Southern Pacific Railroad. The first Stanford to settle in the Bush was Charles Stanford who owned a tavern where the Cameron Lumber Company now stands. On the door of this tavern was a solid gold door knocker. The Stanfords once owned all the land around Stop 1 where the mansion stands. Many places still bear their name such as Stanford Heights Fire Department, Stanford Street, and the Stan- ford Heights Golf Course where they once had a private trotting track. This same golf course is soon to be an ultra modern shopping center. I can remember when the land in the Pine Bush was sold for farms in 1840. One of the big farms owned by a man named Kilean has become the huge housing development of Kilean Park. The farm owned by john Brown and his thirteen children has now become Tanglewood Park. Sad- dlewood, Parkwood Drive, and Forest Drive are thriving now where once farmers planted and harvested their crops. I can remember, too, when the first cars made their way down the Albany Schenectady road. In the Roaring Twenties, Colonie achieved fame for being a speed trap for motorists. Into this trap fell the vaudeville team of Van and Shencke as they sped toward Schenectady for a benefit performance. I can remember when the city of Albany dam- med Patroons Creek which flows through the Pine Bush to form the Six Mile Waterworks which was to serve as a reservoir for the city. Now the Six Mile Waterworks has become a recreation area since as a water supply it has been considered outdated. I can remember in the 1930,s when the Sub- urban Twilight League used to play baseball near Stop 37. Now it is used for a trailer camp. I can remember in 1956 when Colonie had a fish hatch- ery at Bate's Pond. I can even remember when there was only one gas station between the two cities. Now there are over fifty. Fearfully, I cling to the roots of time. With horror, I have witnessed the massacre of my breth- reng with pride, I have watched the molding of a new era. The Thruway tunnels through the terraing the tree of industry is blossoming into a forest of power, the scattered settlers have mush- roomed into a magnitude of unforeseen dimen- sions. Sorrowfully, but hopefully, I must relinquish my claim to the land. Fervently I cry out to Col- onie. Ignite the spirit of the past as the spark of the future!
