Colton Pierrepont High School - Coltonian Yearbook (Colton, NY)

Text from Pages 1 - 43 of the 1942 volume:

The “Coltonian” seeks to record high school life at Colton; to make memories of happy days; for “days that make us happy, make us wise.’’ This is the second issue of the “Coltonian,’’ and in many ways it is an experiment, one calling forth new initiative on the part of its compilers and a new ac- ceptance of responsibility in making it so. We wish to acknowledge our appreciation to Mr. Cor- bitt, for his generous cooperation, to our printer, to our photographers, to our advertisers, and especially to Miss Monnat, who did not hesitate to serve us at her own inconvenience, and whose advice and friendly interest have been in a large part responsible for what success this book may bring. )eJtca ti an To the late Anna E. Leary we lovingly dedi- cate this, our second “Coltonian,” in com- memoration of her thoughtfulness and guidance throughout our Junior High School years.

At our first meeting we elected the following officers: President, Lawrence Lenney; Vice-President, Mary Clohosey; Secretary and Treasurer, Lee Vebber; Class Advisor, Miss Monnat. Our only class activity was a picnic which we enjoyed with the Sophomore class. Dur- ing the year we witnessed the departure of two of our classmates, Horace Cayne and Annie Westerdick, the former going to Plattsburg and the latter to Potsdam. In September of 1939 we returned to school bearing the title of Sophomores. We selected our class officers, who were: President, Ethridge Lindsay; Secretary, Mary Clohosey; Treasurer, Audrey Snyder; Class Advisor, Miss Ryan. Our social activities of the year included a one-act play, “Orville’s Big Date,” and a card party, at which we cleared twelve dollars. The proceeds were donated to the band fund for the purchase of new uniforms. Again our class decreased in num- ber when Betty Tenney, Robert Regan, Lee Veb- ber, Lawrence Lenney and William Woodard left school. However, we did admit one new member, Charles Tyo, a transfer from Parishville. In our Junior year of 1940 with twenty-five members in our class., we elected the following class officers: President, Mary Clohosey; Vice- President, Patricia Olmsted; Secretary, Ann Len- ney ; Class Advisor, Miss Ryan. School activities such as band and basketball now claimed more of our attention and we held only two, class activi- ties, a cooked food sale and a dance. The big highlight of the year was the choosing of our class rings. At the close of school in June, Eth- ridge Lindsay and Linton Gotham announced that they were leaving our ranks to seek employ- ment, and Audrey Snyder decided to transfer to Potsdam High School. Now we are in the last of our four glorious years in high school. The class officers are: President, Lloyd Severance; Secretary and Treas- urer, John Swift; Class Advisor, Miss Monnat. In the course of the year we have had various changes in the class roll. Agnes Stowe, a transfer from Waddington, entered our class in Septem- ber, and Audrey Snyder returned to us in Janu- ary, while Bessie Young transferred to Norwood. Our class now numbers twenty-two members. Our first real class event of the year was the three-act play, “Aunt Tillie Goes to Town,” which was a financial success. In March we held a St. Patrick’s Day “Vic” party and now we are looking forward to the social activities of the spring. As we run the last milestone of our Senior year we look back with regret on the happy days that we are leaving behind as we face Commencement and the hope of finding a definite career in an unset- tled world. MARY CLOHOSEY. CLASS PROPHECY (With apologies to Walter Winchell) “Good evening, Mr. and Mrs. North and South America and all our good friends; let’s go to press.” “Miss Shirley Gwynn, secretary to the famous criminal lawyer, Floyd Vebber, and who recently has been seen with Mr. Vebber at many of the Broadway hot spots, is reported to have eloped with a lumberjack from the Adirondacks.” “Here is a tip to the ladies. The Misses Agnes Stowe and Audrey Snyder, dress designers of world renown, who have designed many elaborate costumes for the Duchess of Windsor, have just opened up a new shop on Fifth Avenue.” “The new musical comedy, ‘South American Way,” presented by that great producer, Charles Tyo, is introducing two new stars to Broadway, Ann and Dorothy Lavine. They’re not bad!” “Here’s a bulletin just off the press. Wilbur Neil has just defeated Mayor LaGuardia by an overwhelming majority in the race for the execu- tive powers of our city. Why is it that we al- ways pick such short men for mayors?” “Have you listened to your radio on Thurs- day evening lately. The Andrews sisters have been replaced by the Gorman girls, who are just as good or maybe better.” “That position in Goldman’s band, which has been open ever since Glenn Miller organized his own dance orchestra, has finally been filled by that faithful trombone student, John Swift.” “Northwestern’s two famous basketball play- ers, Daniel Sullivan and Lawrence LaPoint, led the scoring in last night’s game against Min- nesota.” “A bulletin from South Colton tells us that Patricia Olmsted has just become Mrs. Glenn Irish. Well, it doesn’t surprise us.” “Things are happening by pairs these days. It appears that Ann Lenney has just changed her name to O'Gorman.” “A reporter’s report to the nation. John Mittel- staedt, Charles Paro, and Lloyd Severance are said to be working. Well, that does surprise us.” “What about the rest of the Class of ’42. Mar- ion Wadleigh is still following the United States Army. Vivian Paro and Esther Buckley are among the staff of stenographers at Macy’s.” “Mary Clohosey, better known as Molly, has finally admitted that she always did have a soft spot in her heart for a boy named Vebber.” “And that, ladies and gentlemen, winds up the latest report of the Class of 1942.” JOHN SWIFT LAST WILL AND TESTAMENT We, the class of 1942 of Colton High School, being of sound mind and great memory, do de- clare this our last will and testament.

The gym floor was sanded and waxed during Christmas vaca- tion to make it more suitable for sports and dancing. A new electric “vie” was purchased for noon hour dancing and school parties. A movie machine was procured for both educational and recreational pur- poses. The children of the grades delighted in new playground equipment, such as, swings, slides, and teeter boards. CLUBS and ORGANIZATIONS In addition to the Press Club, which published the school paper, and the Language Club, which was open to members of the Latin and French classes, a new Dancing Club was formed under the direction of Miss Arnold and Miss Mahoney. It met on Thursday evenings and was well attended, especially after the “vie” was purchased to furnish music for the club. A Junior Red Cross organization for boys was established by Mr. Corbitt. The boys collected news- papers, which they sold for defense purposes. Junior Red Cross clubs were also started by the homeroom teachers for the purpose of sewing and knitting. DEFENSE PROGRAM In accordance with government regulations, the school entered upon a defense program. Identifica- tion medals were made to be worn in air raid drills. Stamps were purchased by the students as a saving’s plan for the purchase of bonds. CURRICULUM CHANGES Physical education became a vital part of our high school career. Classes were held for both boys and girls, at which we had exercises, games, indoor and outdoor sports. The classes were supervised by MiSvS Arnold and Mr. Palmer. Mechanical Drawing was started in January under the direction of Mr. Corbitt. The members of the class were proud to be seen industriously bent over their drawing boards, as they carefully measured olf difficult dimensions with T-squares. Photography attracted many of us. A dark room was built and equipped for the course, and Mr. Cor- bitt procured for us all the necessary equipment for developing and enlarging pictures. Mr. Schwartz had charge of the class, and it was he who devel- oped the snapshots for our yearbook. SPORTS The gym was equipped for ping pong, volley ball, badminton, and other indoor sports. In the course of the year we were able to witness a ping pong tournament. Under the direction of Mr. Palmer, supervised recreation was held in the gym on Saturday after- noons and on occasional evenings during the week. A baseball team was organized with Mr. Palmer as coach. Games were played on St. Patrick’s field with teams from neighboring villages. Snapshots Compliments of I . i ! LAMAR BROS., INC.

Mr. Palmer: Well, it might come in handy in case of a shipwreck. • Barber: You want your hair parted exact- ly in the middle, sir? Mr. Schwartz: That’s what I said, didn’t I ? Barber: Then I'll have to pull one out, sir. You have five. Theresa: For some reason or other, I’m al - ways breaking into a song. Mr. Palmer: If you have the key to the song, then you won’t have to break in. John Mitt: Doctor, you told me to show you my tongue, but you haven’t even looked at it yet. Doctor: No, it was only to keep you quiet while I wrote out the prescription. • Critic: The picture of the horse is good, but where is the wagon? Artist: Oh, the horse will draw that. • Mrs. Scallop: My husband certainly does enjoy smoking in his den. Does your husband have a den ? Mrs. Crabshaw: No, he growls all over the house. An elderly lady chided her husband for his failure to assist her up the steps to the rail- way coach: “Henry, you ain’t as gallant as when I was a gal.” The husband replied: “No, Nettie, and you ain’t as buoyant as when I was a boy.” Francis P.: Grandma, what’s an heirloom? Grandma: Why Perky, that’s something that is handed down from father to son. Francis : Hmmmmm ! That’s a funny name to call my pants. • Buzzy Hawley stood in the entrance to the cobbler’s shop watching the man at work. “What do you repair boots with, mister?” he asked suddenly. “Hide,” replied the cobbler sharply. “Er-r-r-r eh?” asked the boy. “I said hide,” replied the cobbler. “What for?” the hoy insisted, somewhat surprised. “Hide! the cow’s outside,” sighed the man. “Don’t care if it is. Who’s afraid of a cow anyway?” said Buzzy defiantly. • Miss Monnat: “Did you put that note where it would attract Mr. Corbitt’s attention?” Dick Weegar: “Yes, I stuck a pin through it and put it on his chair?” • “I turned the way I signaled,” said Ann, indignantly, after the crash. “I know ft,” retorted Floyd, “That’s what fooled me.” Dan: Charlie, what model is your car? Charlie: It’s not a model; it’s a horrible example. • Prospective Employer: Do you think you know enough to be useful to this office? Web: Know enough? Why, I left my last place because the boss said I knew too much. Mr. Corbitt: Order, please. Harold : Coca-cola for me. Floyd Vebber: Do you think I’m conceited about my brains? Molly Clohosey: I’m sure that nothing of the kind even entered your head. The Gay Nineties: A gig and a gal. The Roarin' Twenties : A flivver and a flap- per. The Dipsy Forties : A plane and a Jane. • Mr. Schwartz was watching the local bas- ketball team getting ready. At the last min- ute they found that the referee was missing. “I say,” shouted Mr. Palmer, “do you know enough about basketball to referee?” “I know enough about basketball not to,” replied Mr. Schwartz, as he walked away. Fisherman John: Yes, Tom, it was a trout of enormous size. I tell you I never saw such a fish! Skeptical Dan : I believe you, John. “Now, Willie, you must not be selfish. You should let your brother have the sled half the time.” “Yes, mother,” replied the lad, “I do. I have it poing down the hill and he has it com- ing up.” • Mother: Patricia, every time you are a naughty girl I get another gray hair. Patricia: Then you must have been a ter- ror when you were a kid. Just look at poor Grandma! Mr. Corbitt: Now, Harold, if I subtract 20 from 45, what’s the difference ? Harold: That’s what I say.
