Edwards Central School - Hornet Yearbook (Edwards, NY)

Text from Pages 1 - 92 of the 1947 volume:

ALJJA ..LATER Edwards High School, we adore thee, We will praise thy name. By our deeds we will extol thee. We will shout thy fame. Hail, dear Edwards, Edwards High School, Glory, Truth, and Right, Praise to thee, Gur Alma Mater, Home of green and white. CENTRALIZATION Last November a committee representing the voters in the town of Edwards, Mr Baker, district superintendent met with members of the State department of Education to draw up tentative plans to centralize the nine school districts in the town of Edwards. The second step in centralization is being taken as this goes to press. Petitions are being circulated for the voters of each distriKt to sign. If a majority of the voters sign, the State Commissioner of Education will be petitioned to call a meeting of all the voters to decide this question under the supervision of a in'em - ber of the State department of Education. If a majority favor the proposition the central district will be formed and a Board of Education representing the whole town will be elected. The advantages of a central school should be obviou to most people. With more state aid, the girls and boys in this town would have a better education than is possible under the present system. A more varied course of study would be possible with the addition of such courses as agriculture, industrial arts, commercial, physical education and art. Other services such as free text books and a cafeteria, school nurse and dental aid will be possible if the voters so decide. The only way to consider this proposition is that it will give the boys and girls of this town a better education. That is progress in the right direction and we hope that the voters in this town will agree. FACULTY Kenneth C. Smith Clarkson College B.S., Albany State, Syracuse University, St. Lawrence U.

CLASS HISTORY We, the class of 1947, have finaly come to the destination which we began to seek in 1935. First, to review briefly our elementary training, the class started out with 16 members under the super- vision of Miss Margaret Sullivan in the old school house. Those 16 were: Leona Bullock, Ethel Drake, Patricia Gengler, Doris Jarvis, Sally Mitchell, Olive Ann Hosmer, Marion Closs, Clifford Bullock, William Dunkelberg, Floyd Hosmer, Melvin Hovey, Howard Ray, Ernest Tressider, Douglas Van Duzee, Paul Whitmarsh, and George Brown. The class added Bernice McGill and Theodore Perry during the year, making 18. The following are students who wre in the class at one time or another during the first eight years: Sally Mitchell, Bernice McGill, Marion Closs, Doris Jarvis, Ethel Drake, Constance Holmes, Mae Yancy, Lucille Reed Ward, Clive Ann Hosmer, Leona Manchester, Ronald Maybe, William Dunkelberg, Floyd Hosmer, Howard Ray, Ernest Tressider, Douglas an Duzee, George Brown, Theodore perry, Harold Manchesterf lien Peabody, Douglas Johnston, Robert Lamphear, Bert Faro, Warren Peabody, Fred Patridge, Warren Davenport, Donald Manchester, Carl Aldridge, Richard Brown, Ross Fleury, Marvin Kousch. By the time we had reached the eighth grade, we would have had 42 members if everyone had stayed with us that we added during those years. Only 11 of us went into high school. We shall regard high school as a four feast of knowledge. Charles Backus, Bruce Erown, Clifford Bullock, Donald Ellis, Gilbert Goodspeed, Robert Hogue Melvin Hovey, Wallace Hurley, Allen Peabody, Warren Peabody, Joseph Shene, Bernard Welch, Pau}. Whitmarsh, Eetty Baldick, Ruth Brown, Leona Bullock, Viola Charlebois, Lois Finley, Patricia Gengler, Mary Hall, Olive Ann Hosmer, Dorene Phelps, Marcha Watson, Cora Hosmer, Ruth Given Fuller, and Marjorie Smith were present for the first banquet. We elected Donald Ellis president; Patricia Gengler, vice president; but Donald was absent so much of the time that Patricia acted as President. Allen Peabody was sec- retary and Paul Whitmarsh, treasurer. We didn't have any class adviser but Mrs. Herbert Padgett was our homeroom teacher. The courses of this feast were English I, Social studies 9, science, algebra, rudiments of music, Latin or French and home economics. The teachers who sat with us were Mr. Smith, the principal; Miss McGill who taught us to digest algebra; Miss Jaffarian, social studies 9; and Mrs. Baker, English. Officers elected the second year were: Leona Bullock, president; Wallace Hurley, vice president; and Eetty Baldick, secretary and treasurer. Our toast- mistress this time was Miss Bloomfield, a new teacher on the staff. Charles Backus, Gilbert Goodspeed, Robert Hogue, Allen and Warren Peabody, Joseph Shene and Ruth Given Fuller found these courses indigestible and left us. The course Miss Bloomfield offered this feast was English II. The other courses were social studies 10, health, geometry and biology. We added Ivan Averlll, Willard Jones and Lloyd Soper to our group. During this feast, at the Halloween party, we won the first prize for the best skit. In order to raise money, Miss Bloomfield offered to make five pounds of candy for us to raffle. We made over 50. She also made an extra pound for the one that sold the most chances. It was diveded between Patricia Gengler and Betty Baldick, each of whom sold 77 chances. Many of us also participated in the operetta, Sun- Bonnet Sue . We started our third feast off with Miss Hart, a new teacher, as our toastmistress by electing the following officers: Leona Bullock, president; Bernard Welch, vice president; Betty Baldick, sec- retary; and Ruth Ray, treasurer, who wass succeeded by Olive Anne Hosmer upon Ruth's departure. The courses during this feast were: English 111, social studies 11, physics, Latin, French. We dropped Clifford Bullock, Donald Ellis, Viola Charlebois, Cora Hosmer, Marjorie Smith Ivan Averill and Lloyd Soper. Ruth Ray Joined us but left during the year along with Ruth Brown. There were many events that took place during this feast, the most outstanding, o f which were the banquet for the stockholders, employees, and families of the Edwards Diary Company; getting, our class rings and the Junior Prom. Many of the members of our class to ok part in the minstrel show, Georgia Jublee , and were on the staff for the year book. The high- light of the year was the basketball team winning the championship trophie in the Play-offs . We were very happy to sit down to the fourth feast and to see that we had 14 members of the last feast still able to enjoy the courses and events that were going to take place. We dropped Bruce Erown and Willard Jones during. However, we were proud to have with us a veteran, Charles Wo odard. Frank Harmon and La Verne Hosmer joined us un January, making the group to tal 15. With Miss McGill and Mrs. Smith as toastmistresses, we elected the following officers: Charles Woodard, president; Bernard Welch, vice presid dent; and Betty Baldick, secretary and treasurer. The courses we had during this feast were; English IV, social studies 12,chemistry, intermediate algebra and home economics-D. The events which took place during this feast were: the senior play, Professor How Could You ; and we also had two dances. We sold stationary, magazines subscriptions and Christmas cards in order to raise money for our New York trip. This year the basket- ball team won both trophies at the end of the season. The climax of the year is class night and then graduation. And now as we sit at this banquet to talk over the happenings of the years, we are saddened by the thought that the 43 who left us during the past 12 years cannot be with us tonight. We are out into the world to partake of other feasts and to sit at other banquets, but we shall always remember the happy days at Edwards High School. CLASS TRIP TO N. Y. C. Tfle senior class left Edwards at 5:30 A. it. April 5th. for Carthage where they were to board the train. Mr. Harmon and Mr. Hovey provided the trans- portat inn as far as Carthage. Those who went were Frank Harmon, Paul Whitmarsh, Melvin Ho vey, Charles Woodard, Wallace Hurley, Leona Bullock, Marsha Watson, Mary Hall, Olive Anne Hosmer, Pratricia Gengl n and Lois Finley with Mrs. Smith and Miss McGill as chaperones. It was still raining when the group arrived in New York about 3 o(clock. They were taken by taxie to the Hotel Piccadilly which was to be their resid- ence for the next five days. That avening the group attended a radio broad- cast at the N.B.C. studio. It was a debate between Col. Taylor, leader of the American Legion, and Philip Murray, president of the Newspaper Guild. Ben Grwer was moderator. Later in the evening they attended a professional basketball game at Madison Square Garden. New York Knickerbockers and the Cleveland teams played. The New York teams were much better than the Cleveland. The girls also had a game. The most interesting thing about the Cleveland girl's team was that four Negro girls played in the first line-up. At the half a group of nineteen girls gave some very fine twirling exercises. Easter Sunday turned out to be a beautiful day. The sun shone bright and the temperature was about 80 or 85. Nearly everyone attended church in the morning. In the afternoon, a group of ninety four Including Edwards went to the Bronx Zoo. Mary Hall, Patricia Gengler, and Olive Anne Hosmer got lost. After much walking around in circles and acquiring sore feet, they stumbled upon the rest of the group. Sunday evening the group attended Iceland a musical comedy in three acts composed entirely of ice skaters. The co stumes and scenery were beautiful. Monday morning the group toured upper and lower New York, which included Chinatown, the Bowery, the financial district, Greenwich Village and Harlem, by chartered bus. Some of the things they also saw on this tour was the Cathederal of St. John, the Divine, the Little Church around the Corner and many other famous places. This was the most interesting tour. In the afternoon they went to La Guardia airport. They a great many pictures there. That evening they attend- ed the play 0 Mistress Mine a comedy in three acts staring Lynn Fontaine and Alfred Lunt. Everyone enjoy- ed it very much. Tuesday morning the group really traveled. They saw how the N.B.C. studio was built so that the sub- ways would not affect it. They saw how television is made. They watched Fred Waring's broadcast and then they went to the top of the Empire State Building. That evening, the class went to Radio City Music Hall where they saw the movie The Late George Apley . The stage show was beautiful. The Rockettes put on a show of garden scenes by means of ballet dancing. Just by chance they saw Mr. and Mrs. William Clark. It was strange to meet someone familiar in the great city. Melvin Hovey was called home Tuesday evening by the death of his grandmother. Frank Harmon and Paul Whitmarsh went with him. Wednesday morning the class was to visit the Statue of Liberty but because of rain the tour was canceled. Betty Baldick, Lois Finley, Charles Wood- ard and Mary Hall went to the American Museum of Natural History where they spent most of the day. The rest went shopping, including Miss McGill and Mrs. Smith who were near exhaustion when they returned to the hotel. The group left New York at 10:45 Wednesday evening for home. Everything went well except for a frightening moment or two concerning the train tickets. The trip was a wonderful experience and a never to be forgotten one A CLASS PROPHECY As some of you are aware (for the past few years) I have been employed as an investigator for the United Nations Atomic Controll Commission. The atomic bomb was outlawed by the United Nations some years ago and a clos check is being kept of all activities in all parts of the world to prevent them from ever being constructed again. Once I was ordered to China to investigate a report that a group of scientists were endeavoring to do Just then. As my plane was flying over the wilds which lie between Indo-Chlna and the vast desert wastes which lie to the North, we were forced down by a terrific storm. Our pilot had managed to keep the ship aloft until we had reached an area which was supposed to be inhabited by civilized people. After several days of hardship, traveling over arid, rocky country we were discovered by a tribe of half wild Mongolians. They took charge of us and by sign language signified that we were to follow them. They led us deeper and deeper into the mountains until finally we emerged into a deep valley with an emormous monastary perched on the very top of the farther cliff. Unable to understand a word that was tonductors , we wondered lust what was to happen as they made their way toward this hugh stone structure. Eventually we were led toward an opening in the side of the cliff and entering, we found passageway after passageway leading into the depths of the mountain. After what seemed like miles of travel along these underground trails we entered a mammoth cavern and were stopped by our guides. The guides seemed to be awaiting the entrance of some high official and after a short pause a personage entered through a distant open- ing, clad as a monk of some religious order, as he drew nearer to our group, imagine my complete amazement as I recognized one with whom I had gone to school back in my high school days. It was none other than Bernard Welch. Needless to say, from that time on our troubles were over. Bernard placed every assistance at our commarid and a short time later we were on our way to Shanghai. I determined to go there after Bernard had told me that Patricia Gengler was in that city promoting Paul Whit- marsh in a prize fight. Well, it turned out that Paul was the loser and consquently won a good talking by his manager, Pat. On another occasion I was in Boston inspecting an atomic automobile factory. At one side of the main enterance was a large group in which a long line of stenographers were being interviewed. I entered and there sitting with his feet on top of the desk, inter- viewing all these girld, was the general manager, Frank Harmon. Shortly after this I was called into Washington by ray superiors. I was entering the Senate Chambers when I noticed a commotion ahead of me. I hurried to see what was going on and there in the corridor, button- holing the senaters was a lobbist urging them to vote for a law to give women the legal right to go through their husbands pockets. This lobbyist was LaVerne Hosmer. Once I was traveling to Canada by way of Niagara Falls, and saw a cable streched across the chasm . As this was unusual, I stopped on the Canadian side to learn the purpose of this cable. I was told that a young American dare-divil was about to cross the chasm on the cable, bouncing a rubber ball before her. I thought this would be exciting to see so I stayed and presently a figure clad in tights came toward me. She had successfully negociated more than half of her Journey before I recognized, ray old schoolmate, Lois Finley. It was only last year that I was in South Africa walking through the streets in a squalid town. Amid the hustle and bustle there was one person in particular that attracted my attention. I watched closely as he got down from his mule, unloaded his pack and went into a store. It came to me that I had seen this person before, so I was determined to get a look at his face, and decided to follow him. As I entered the store, to my amazement, it was Wally Hurley, Just coming out. Twenty years of prospecting for diamonds had made Wally a multi-millionaire. As i think it over now, I often wonder what became of the station wagon and why he was riding the mule. I finally arrived in New York City and decided to have my portrait painted by the famous Dunberlusky. When I entered the artist's studio, I found him busily painting a tall, slim girl whom I Immediately recognized as Marsha Watson. As I watcked the picture develop I realized that he was making before and after advertise ments for ironized yeast. While waiting for my appointment I noticed start- k. , ( gt ) V ling headlines in the N«kw York Times ------ SPACE SHIPS LEAVE FOR MARS and underneath this,large picture of the crew. There staring rne in the face, was Qorene Phelps., stewardess. Presently Marcha was at liberty and we talked over old times. I asked her if she ever heard what became of Betty Baldlck and some of the others. She said she had just received tickets from Betty for her audition at the theater. Betty was singing star in the new hit comedy. Charlie, it seems, was a hairdresser of extraord- inary talent with a very modern place on Fifth Avenue, well patronized by ladies of means. Marcha asked about Mary Hall and I couldn't help but remember the incident when I was in need of expert legal advice in regard to my government duties. It was in a large city in Austria where by chance I discovered that the great lawyer M.J. Hall, had American connections. I went to him for advice, You can't imagine my astonishment when I walked into the office of the great M.J. and saw Mary Jane '-fall. With- out question my problems were straightened out. Upon returning to my hotel that evening I found among my mail a letter from Olive Ann uosmer, telling me of her family. She eloped a number of years ago with a Mr Bean, a biologist. The three little Beans are now doing well on Quiz Programs in Toronto. I don't believe that I have to tell any of you what Melvin Hovey is doing. Most of you see him daily at 4:30 P.M. on your radio-television sets, as an auctioneer of race horses. It has been great being back in Edwards seeing famil ar faces and recalling fond memories. I often wonder how many of us ever realized back in 194-7 how we would be separated and scattered to all parts of the world. CLASS POEM We have come to the end of our high school days, We can smile at the fun we have had But this is the parting of the ways. And we cannot help but feel sad. We know that the path will not all be flowers, That we travel along through life. So let's not forget these carefree hours Nor our friends in life's storms and strife. In the many, many years to come Our memories we'll ere hold dear. And never forget all the Joy and fun Our friends we'll ere hold dear.

In the intersectional play-offs between the leagues in this county, we played Morristown to a tie and then beat them 18 to 6. Then we played Bombay, which had won the championship of the eastern part of St Lawrence county. We lost 7 to 14 but it was a very successful season. - Scores of Football games: Clifton-Fine Russell DeKalb Clifton-Fine Russell Morristown Morristown Bombay E.H.S.
