Through the years we thought we had Hard work and burdens to stand. We complained, but now we’re sad To leave this school so grand. We try to hide our sorrow. Not to shed our pent up tears, But look forward to to-morrow; Made bright by high school years. But it makes no difference how we try; Our friends all understand, They know how hard it is for us, To leave this school, so grand.

They were the first to start school in the new high school with Miss Margaret Sullivan as teacher. The members were John Arnold, Carl Audebert, William Basso, Kenneth Hughes, I Delbert Maybee, Ernest Tresidder, James Webb, Leo Averill, Henry Johnson, Helen Cole, Judith Fuller, Marion Manchester, Joyce O’Neil, Reta Patterson, Jeanette Todd, Jean Whitmarsh, Sally Mitchell, Lucy Ingerson and Beatrice Hendrick. In 1937, seven new members were added. They were: Floyd Hosmer, Howard Ray, Richard Fanning, Glenn Stevens, Barbara Briggs, Bertha Sprague, and Marion Davenport. 1938 found them entering the third grade with Miss Ercel Cassidy as teacher. Ten new members were Lyle Bleau, Junior Brown, Warren Davenpod James Kerr, Harold Man- chester, Douglas Van Duzee, Bernice McGill, Lois Van Wald, LaVerne Hosmer and Eleanor Morrisey. John Arnold, Carl Audebert, William Basso, Glenn Stevens, Junior Tresidder and Richard Fanning left during the year. In 1939 only two new members were added to the class. They were Arthur Osborne and Donald Spencer. John Kerr, Floyd Hosmer, and James Kerr left during the year. The class entered the fifth grade in 1940. Miss Ruth Sullivan as teacher. Richard Brown, Warren Davenport and Ethel Drake came into the class. Arthur Osborne, Harold Manchester, Donald Spencer, Marion Davenport, La Verne Hosmer and Bernice McGill left during the year. Arthur Osborne came back into the class in 1941 along with Ermina Bevins, Lemuel Chapin and Clarence Thompson. Lyle Bleau, Lois Van Wald, Barbara Briggs and Douglas Van Duzee left during the year. In 1942, the class entered the seventh grade with Miss Helena Freeman as teacher. Edwin Hall, Maurice Rhode, Stasia Farr, John Wood, Violet Patience and Frances Rice were new members. Warren Davenport, Howard Ray and Arthur Osborne left during the year. The class entered the eighth grade in 1943 with Mrs. Grace Bowhall. There were six new members; Uri Robinson, Bert Paro, Thelma Forbes, Catherine Hamilton, Ruth Given and Lucille Reed. John Wood, Ethel Drake, Leona Manchester and Eleanor Morrissey left during the year. At graduation the class colors were lavender and gold. The class flower was the yellow rose. The class motto was, “Green, but grow- The class started their freshman year of high school in 1944 with Miss Jaffarian as home room teacher. The new members to the class were; Dorothy Aldridge, Beatrice Bis- hop, Lyle Bleau, Ruth Given, George Hurley, Virginia Lutz, Eleanor Morrisey, Bert Paro, Robert Perry, Clarence Skeldon, Stanley Zaluski, Betty Duncan, Ora Fonley and Lois Van Wald. The class was organized with Jeanette Todd as president, La Verne Hosmer as vice-president, Joyce O’Neil as secretary and treasurer and Miss Jaffarian as class advisor. At Halloween the class put on a skit “The Chamber of Horrors.” It was going fine until someone started throwing flour. The class will never forget the clean-up the next day • For an assembly program the class gave a panel discus- sion on the San Francisco Conference About the middle of the year Gloria Dushane came into the class and Bert Paro, Betty Duncan and Ora Finley left during the year. In 1945, the sophomore class was organized with Robert Perry as president, Lemuel Chapin as vice-president, Clar- ence Skeldon as secretary, Beatrice Bishop as treasurer and Miss Bloomfield as class advisor. At Halloween, the sophomore class put on a mock wedding. George Brown was the bride and LaVerne Hosmer was the groom. The skit won first prize. The 'class had a surprise party for George Brown before he left. He was presented with a gift and some money. Fran- ces Rice also dropped out of the class at the end of the year. Arlene Sibley and Clifford Bullock joined the class. When Lemuel Chapin left, Violet Patience took his place as vice- president. To raise money besides class dues, the class sold tickets on a box of fudge. Mrs. Chan Goodberry won the candy and Judith Fuller got the prize for selling the most tickets. In 1946, the junior class was organized with Violet Patience as president, Joyce O’Neil as vice-president, Ermine Bevins as secretary, and Robert Perry as treasurer. Miss Bloom- field was elected class advisor. Early in the year the class ordered their rings. They could not decide which style they wanted, so the girls chose a square design and the boys got round designs. The rings came February 3rd 1947. It was indeed the biggest event of the year for the class except for the prom. The class put on a prom and lost money on the dance. Joe Calapari’s orchestra provided the music. The spaghetti supper which the class arranged for the public was an event never to be forgotten, especially with George Hurley washing dishes. In addition the class sold sun- shine cards. In September 1947, the class found themselves seniors in high school. They organized with Beatrice Bishop as presi- dent, George Hurleyas vice-president, JudithFuller as secre- tary and treasurer. Miss Bloomfield and Miss Holmes were elected class advisors. The class had $343.52 at the beginning of the senior year The class really had to work to raise enough to make $900 for the class trip. So to raise more money the class sold Christmas cards, two large orders of wrapping paper, sub- scriptions to magazines, Kadet cards and labels and several orders of stationery. On November 7, 1947 the senior class put on a three act farce “The Daffy Dills ”, along with a turkey raffle. Margaret Sullivan of Pleasant Valley won the turkey. Jeanette Todd completed her senior year in January by passing her Regents. As this goes to press, the class is planning the trip to New York City during the week of Easter, to which they have been looking forward to so long. Senior Class Trip to New York City The senior class left Edwards 5:30 a.m., March 26th in four cars bound for Carthage. The cars were driven by Mr. Leonard Fuller, Mr. Neil Brown, Mr. George Hurley, and Mr. Lyle Hughes. Class members who went on the trip were; Bruce Brown, Richard Brown, Robert Perry, Lyle Bleau, Clarence Skeldon, George Hurley, Clarence Thompson, Stanley Zaluski, Kenneth Hughes, Virginia Lutz, Beatrice Bishop, Judy Fuller, Helen Cole, Phyllis Whitmarsh, Eleanor Morrissey, Dorothy Ald- ridge and Violet Patience. Violet Patience had been to Wash- ington and thus didn’t start on the trip with her classmates. She met the group at Grand Central Station. Miss Bloomfield was the chaperon. The train was on time and left about 7:30 a.m. Each per- son had a lunch which he was going to eat on the train. Miss Bloomfield had a box of fudge which was passed around the group. Even the conductor and brakeman helped themselves to a piece of candy. The train arrived in Utica at 9:45 a.m. The train for New York wasn’t supposed to leave until 11:48 a.m. so the class de- cided to eat in the station restaurant and save their lunches for supper. For amusement nearly everyone sat in a photo machine and had his picture taken. Some of the pictures bore only a slight resemblance to the person they were supposed to represent. The train left Utica at 12:38 p.m. and arrived at New York at 5:15 p.m. Taxi cabs took them to the Hotel Plymouth on 49th Street. After eating the class went to Madison Square Garden where the boys and two girls decided to see the prize fights. The rest of the girls and Miss Bloomfield went to “Icetime of 1948“ presented by Sonja Henie and Arthur J. Wirtz. This revue had some beautiful skits and dances all done on ice skates. Saturday morning the entire group ate breakfast at Kel- loggs and then went to see the Statue of Liberty by subway and ferry. The statue is on Bedloe Island. It is made of copper, about the thickness of a silver dollar, over a hollow framework. E en in the rain it was a bright green color. The green coloris caused by the oxidation of the copper. The boat ride was rough because of the storm. That noon the class ate at an Automat where Lyle Bleau nearly got lost. The rain stopped about 1 o’clock and the class went to La Guardia field. The trip involved the use of the subway and a bus. Airplanes land or take off with an average of about one a minute. It started raining again in the evening. The group went to the basketball games at Madison Square Garden. The first game was Phillips vs. Prospect with Phillips the victor. The Phillips center was seven feet tall. The second game was Kentucky vs. Louisville with Kentucky the victor. Tumb- ling acts were performed between the two games. Sunday morning dawned clear and cold. Virginia Lutz and Eleanor Morrissey attended church at St. Patrick’s Cathedral. Helen Cole, Phyllis Whitmarsh and Miss Bloomfield went to church at the Park Avenue Methodist Church. Most of the remaining class members slept late. That afternoon the class took a subway to visit Bronx Zoo. It was cold enough to enable anyone to see his breath. When the time for departure from the zoo came, Richard Brown, Robert Perry, Lyle Bleau, and Clarence Thompson were not at the gate. The rest of class couldn’t wait too long and as a result they went back to the hotel without the boys who were to be sent on by the Van Zile guides. The boys got back all however, for there were other school groups coming back to the same street. They got on the subway and followed a group from the Hotel Abbey home. That night the class members were allowed to go on their own that is, at a short distance from the hotel. Some went to movies, while others walked around seeing the sights. Most of them were surprised at the prices for a movie ticket. The average was a dollar and fifty cents. Early Monday morning the class went to a radio broadcast “Honeymoon in New York”. This was supposed to be an in- promptu type broadcast to but the class noticed that it was all carefully planned. However it was very amusing to watch. A tour of the N.B.C. station followed with an explanation of radio and television. Eleanor Morrissey was televised and she looked very frightened. On the tour the class watched the Fred Waring show for a while. Then the class crossed Rockerfeller Plaza and toured St. Patrick’s Cathedral. After this, the class went over to the Empire State Build- ing. The view from the top was not as good as it could have been. It was too hazy although the sun was shining. In the afternoon the group went to a movie “I Remember Mamma’’ at Radio City Music Hall. There was a beautiful stage show and very fine dancing after the movie. Richard Brown left his camera in his seat when he left the theatre. He had to see the manager in order to get inside the theatre again to get it. He snatched it out from under a lady just as she was sitting down. That evening the class attended a play “Harvey” at the Forty-eighth Street Theatre. Harvey was an invisible six foot rabbit. Jimmy Stewart, the movie actor, played the part of Mr. Dowd, the chief character. The play was a very amusing comedy and everyone enjoyed it. After the play, the class had a party with refreshments of sandwiches, candy, potato chips, and soft drinks in Miss Bloomfield’s room. Tuesday forenoon the class toured Manhattan in a bus. Some of the things they saw were Columbia University , General Ike’s future home; The Little Church Around the Corner; the Cathedral of St. John the Divine; Grants’ Tomb ; New York University on Washington Square; and Chinatown. In the afternoon, class members went shopping by them- selves. Stanley Zaluski and Kenneth Hughes left for Long Island where they were going to stay until Saturday. The rest of the class also packed and got ready for that night. One of the boys, Lyle Bleau, seemed to persist in getting lost. Clarence Skeldon bet Lyle a dollar bill that he would get back before Lyle did. Lyle got back first and won the bet much to everyone’s surprise, but the block was a huge one. The class checked out of the hotel at 9:45 p.m. Clarence Thompson was sleeping when the conductor came to get his ticket. He tried to give the conductor his coat instead until he woke up. The class arrived at Gouverueur about 9:00 a.m. and were taken to Edwards by Mr. Donald Brown, Mr. Leonard Fuller and the mail car. Everyone enjoyed the wonderful trip. For the class, it more than came up to expectations-a never to be forgotten experience. CONTRAST Yesterday the air was soft with spring And a crow called “Caw. Caw. Caw.” Today the air has a sharp bitter sting There isn’t even a sign of a thaw.

Class of 1948 Witnesses: Althea Holmes Fannie Bloomfield York, United States of America Class of 1948 Althea Holmes Witnesses: Fannie Bloomfield CLASS PROPHECY The crystal ball placed before me has magic powers to un- veil the future, which are hidden to the eyes of ordinary mortals. I have great powers to look into the future. At first, it is very dark....Let me concentrate a few moments and perhaps I can tell you about the future of the boys and girls gathered here on the stage before you..I see a strange figure in the dim distance. It is getting closer. Oh! What is it that I see? Why, it is a stage of a great opera house, the Metropolitan-no less. Someone is singing. It is Beatrice Bishop. So this is where her singing led her ? She must have worked very hard since her high school days to have reached grand opera roles at the Metropolitan Opera House. The crystal ball is getting very cloudy..In the dis- tance I see something vague. Why it is getting closer—closer. It is a ski run at St. Morritz, Switzerland. Now, traveling very fast, is a figure approaching the jump. Who could it be? May- be it will get close enough for me to tell. There it is coming closer' Closer.' Why, it couldn’t be Judith Fuller.' I am sure it is-yes, now I can see. Judy has just finished competing here with skiers from many parts of the world. She is called “The Flying Lady” and must have practiced a great deal more than she did in 1948. Who would have thought it I Now it is very dark again. Evening is approaching a city, I see many crowded streets. Now gathered about a huge building is a large group of people. The neon sign reads “Ballet For You”. All along the street are posters telling of the great ballet show to be produced this evening. Now I see a large stage. I hear music and the curtain is about to rise. Oh, here comes an announcer out on the stage. He says “Ladies and Gentlemen, we present to you, our famous dancer, Dorothy Aldridge, and the bag-pipes orchestra under the direction of Lyle Bleau.” Well what a surprise. Dorothy won a contest at Syracuse. Lyle took up music after he became interested in a music teacher. At present he has a famous orchestra. Once again the crystal ball is becoming very dark. It looks like a thunder storm approaching. Wait a few moments until it gets clear, and maybe I can explain to you what prevails. Oh, nst it is calm. I see two very well dressed men walking the corridor of the atom building. They seem very happy reason. Now they are discussing the atom bomb. L find that the two men are Kenneth Hughes and Stanley Zaluski. Ever since high school, these two have been trying to find out what made the atomic bomb work and now at last they have found out about it and now know the secret of controlling it. These fellows have been paid millions for different secrets pertaining to the atomic bomb. Now I see the large salmon factory which is located off the coast of Newfoundland. I recognizethe manager. It is Clarence Thompson. He owns the largest salmon cannery in the world. Living on the bank of the Oswegatchie, he learned how to catch small fish and with this interest in fish he has become a very important gentleman as well as a rich one. The scene shifts in my crystal ball. OhJ It looks like the ocean. In the distance I see a ship. The high waves of the ocean are beating against the sides of the ship. As it nears I can see the sailors c coming on deck. Below deck is the cabin captain. Its Bruce Brown who is taking his ease in the captain s cabin. In the future if he works a great deal harder, he is to become Secretary of the Navy. Now I see a large store in Alaska. Over the door is a large neon sign which reads “HOME MADE WOOLEN SUPPLIES-. Inside is Ermina Bevins supervising the sewing of jackets and woolen pants from hand loomed wool cloth . Its a good thing Ermina took homemaking back in high school. Ermina has worked herself up to a successful position. What is this ! It is a beautiful home with a swimming pool and a garden at the edge of the pool. I see Violet Patience teaching her children to dive from a very high diving board. Violet was very fortunate to marry a man with great wealth who could give her every possible luxury. Are my eyes deceiving me or am I really seeing Robert Perry sitting with his feet propped up on his desk in Columbia University. Now I see why Robert feels so proud, he has just been appointed president of Columbia. I bet he never dreamed t long ago New York trip that he would some day occupy tfte same position as General “Ike” did in 1948. Bob has certainly proved to us that he has succeeded in life. In the crystal ball now I see a large crowd at Yankee Stad- ium. Many people come to see George Hurley help the Yankees win another World Series. George is called another Babe Ruth. He attended college on an athletic scholarship and then started playing in the major leagues after graduation. There goes another home run ! Good for George ! Now I see Dick Brown at his riding Academy in Hollywood. He had been teaching movie stars how to ride horseback. Dick became interested in riding at Norwich University where he went to school after graduating from Edwards High. Once again the crystal ball looks very promising. I can see thousands of people at a World Fair. There are many in- teresting things to see, but there seems to be a special at- traction at the trapeze tent and the horse show. Let us see who the main performers are....I see Phyllis Whitmarsh and Helen Cole. How brave they are to perform one hundred feet above the ground without a net...Now they are doing a trick, by hang- ing by one foot. t the horse show another one of our class-mates, Clarence Skeldon, who is a bareback rider. He learned many tricks dt Brown ’c j • , _ dlng academy. One of his most thrilling tricks is to turn cartwheels from one horse to another as they travel around the ring The crystal ball shows a great city in South Africa. Eleanor Morrissey is working in a beauty parlor. The people have just learned about permanents from Eleanor, who has been on a trip around the world and is short of money, so she is giving permanents to the natives to let her stay there. Everyone liked them so much that Eleanor stayed on and be- came very rich in South Africa. The crystal ball is very dark.......Wait a few moments and let us see what developes. Now, it is getting more clear.. .....I see that the students are very happy. Each of them have succeeded in his life.

In basketball I mean, When the boys play to see Who had the best team? In Potsdam we played Our finals this year, The young and old went to Shout and to cheer. When the boys came out In suits, green and white. The cheer-leaders yelled “Fight, Team, Fight.” Wait! Kennie was lacking He was the center, who jumps. A kind person told me, He really had the mumps. We all sit in a pout. We’d lost the game for sure For who was to stop Snyder, From piling up the score. We need not have fretted For when the boys got the ball, Instead of foolish shooting, They made a slight stall. And then as the game proceeded The scores mounted up. Until finally, much to our joy We’d won another cup. The cups are beautiful We got two you know Our boys are champs By defeating the foe.
