Text from Pages 1 - 56 of the 1947 volume:

DEDICATION We hereby dedicate this yearbook to Mrs. Joseph Regan (Mae Whiting), who upon her arrival at Fort Edward High took us, the Class of ’47, under her guidance. To her we owe a large measure of the success and happiness which has been ours throughout our high school careers. PRINCIPAL C. A. HOPKINS First Row—3. DelSignore, J. Leonard, A. Bowk. C.

FIRESIDE CHAT I wish to express my sincere appreciation and gratitude to my staff for the unfailing courtesy and continued willingness shown in preparing material for the yearbook; to Mr. Miller and Mr. Skaden, counselors of the Press Club, who read and criticized the material; to Miss Ginieki of the Commercial Department for repeated courtesies and services; and to other kind friends for generous help and valuable suggestions. I am indeed grateful. Also, I wish to thank, on behalf of the Senior Class, the faculty advisors who have lent us a helping hand. Their guidance was wise and it helped us over many of the rocky paths which formed the road to the successful culmination of our high school careers. To the Juniors, I would like to say: “Listen to the words of those who have gone before you and profit by them.” “Together, ambition and consideration form an excellent formula for success. Set your eyes on your goal and strive untiringly for it but at the same time be mindful of the rights of others and the courtesies expected by them. Remember; ’Do unto others as you would have them do unto you’.” Soon we the “Class of 1947” will find ourselves taking an active part in the activities of a changing world There is no doubt in our minds that a new age is being born. We could easily look at the condition of the world today and become discouraged. But we must not do this. We must accept the challenge presented to us and go forth with a will and determination that will help to bring everlasting peace to the world.

Class Poem We, the Seniors, of Franklin Barber High Take time now to say good-bye To four long years of toil and fun And now proudly say that we are done. With homework hard and extra sessions Because we couldn’t get those lessons The teachers of this school we know Will probably hate to see us go. But before we go, we’d like to recall I he many good times that were had by all The dances, games, and lockerroom brawls Nor can we forget those noisy halls. And to the Juniors we’d like to say We wish you success in every way Our duties and tasks you now must face We’re sure that you can take our place. Our school days will soon be through And we leave these parting words to you “If a problem arises, never fear it Keep remembering that ol’ school spirit.” Betty Ann McCrea.

Even as the youngest member we began to make a worthy name for ourselves. I he first year was quite uneventful; the officers included: John Peter Smythe, President; Ray- mond Pash by, Vice-President; Arthur Toole, Secretary; and Edward LaClair, Treasurer. During the second year we gained somewhat in prestige in the Big Four Group. Since it was during the war, we all bought Defense Stamps to hasten the victory. In spite of the seriousness we still had time for fun in the form of a successful Hallowe’en Party. It was this year too that Miss Whiting came as one of our leaders. Officers this year were Edward LaClair, President; Patricia Smith, Vice-President; Betty Ann McCrea, Secretary, and Mary Lou Bussing, Treasurer. In our Junior year we showed progress in making the United Classes a successful ogranization. There were two highlights of the year — Class Rings and the Junior Prom. I he Prom was a success and during the year also we began to make plans for our trip during the last year with the United Classes. Junior Class Officers were Robert Carpenter, President; Frances Hall, Vice-President; Betty Ann McCrea, Secretary and Arthur Toole, T reasurer. This year we took the lead in developing an organized well-run, group. All year we have worked for money toward the Washington and New York Trip. We are the first class to take the Washington trip since 1942. President, Mahlon Morrison has done a fine job as have his associates, Patricia Smith, Secretary; Robert Carpenter, Vice-President, and Arthur Toole, Treasurer. General Assembly members this year were Guv Williams, who also served as President of that group, John Canavan, and Lee Wells. The class of '47 sincerely hopes that it has set a good example in leadership, ability, and progress towards cooperation and peace. V v CLASS WILL Dorothy Barber.

Guy Wiilliams was elected President; Marian Munson, Vice-President; Hetty Ann McCrea, Secretary; and Edward LaClair, Treasurer. i his year the Press Club worked diligently to produce a yearbook. Under the direction of Miss Mae Whiting the Press Club sponsored the Otis and Eleanor Show to raise funds. This program was a big success. Near the end of the first semester, Miss Whiting left us and a party was given in her honor. At first, our progress was hampered by her loss. However, under the guiding leadership of Mr. Skaden and Mr. Miller, the Press Club was able to function properly once again. With John Canavan as editor-in-chief, his able assistants, and every member of the Senior Class, the Press Club was able to produce ‘‘The Siren.” LIBRARY CLUB Once again the job of making the library a smooth running organization fell upon the shoulders of the Library Club. We too lost the services of Miss Whiting at midyear but Mr. Skaden proved himself equally adept in leading the Library Club. This year we sponsored a dance which was a big success. Our able officers, Marilyn Doyle. President; Jane Middleton, Secretary-Treasurer; proved a big factor in making this Club a valuable service to the school. First Row—R. Gillis, J. McCarty, J.

With a veteran-studded varsity and an eager group of substitutes the team practiced many nights in preparation for the games. The team was guided bv Coach Bernard “Putt” La May. The backfield was made up of fullback F'rank Doyle, halfbacks Harold Stoughton and Donald Barber and calling the signals was Bob Carpenter. The line consisted of Guy Williams and Don Cronkhite at ends, Fid LaClair and Arvid O’Connell at tackles, Tom Shelley and Alan Walbridge at guards and Joe Corsall at center. Capable substitutes were Leo Terrio, Howard Miles, Jimmy Godfrey and Art l'oole in the backfield. Substitutes for the line were Ken Suddard( Austin Williams, Charles Yasko, Paul Terrio, Lee Wells, Tom Reese, and Larry Godfrey. The Fort’s best game, as considered by many, was the Whitehall game. The first and second periods were scoreless. Then early in the third period, Whitehall scored and we came right back to score only a short time after that. The score was tied at 6-6. Whitehall made a long gain which looked like a touchdown, but the runner was knocked out of bounds on the one yard line. The F'ort FFd-ward team held Whitehall for four downs on the one yard line, thus the game ended in a 6-6 tie.

Almost, but not quite, taking the conference, they put up a good fight from the start of the season ’til the end. Harold Stoughton and Hank Doyle played as forwards while Capt. Guy Williams and Rob Carpenter did their best as guards. Jack Henry was top man at center to complete the varsity five. Artie Toole and Burto Barber made tough opposition for opponents in several games. Tom Shelley, Bud Morrison, and Lee Wells made up the other capable substitutes.
