Pauline Sanders yy ' ft ft ft � ?• •{ fttfn rtf ' '■ VI r V I CLASS PROPHE CV C 1952] In the myriad sands of time I see many things. Alger Bagdan, the world famous announcer, has become $ radio's best tobacco auctioneer. It hasn't been a t tough struggle for Alger, who, for 5 consecutive years, i was champion hog-caller of N. Y. State. fs. Charlotte Erundige has been acclaimed the outstanding sportswoman of her day. Thus far Charlotte has won top honors in swimming, golf, tennis, baseball and ice-skating. Charlotte has told me in confidence that her favorite game is croquet. Incidentally, her game is terrible. Edmund Jezierskl is director of a group of ballet dancers. When asked why he chose such an outlandish career, Edmund replied: I like to put people through their paces. Lena I.iale, I see, is a nurse in the army hospital at Alexandria, La, She only takes care of patients who have light curly hair, are tall, handsome and have blue eyes. Jennie Maryzak is the best known woman lawyer in New York, specializing in divorce cases. Well, Jennie seems to have benefited a good deal from her law class in Galway High School. Doris Phoenix, married to a successful business man, has been writing a series of articles on the preservation of marriage for Good Housekeeping. .■ „, , , I UJ I I J J ' , II ■ ' .,■ ., .... tl 'llltl ll ' It, ! , . ? ! , ' - , Bernice Sanders has stepped into Grace Moore's operatic shoes. !7ext year she plans a concert in Galway, where her talent was first recognized and appreciated, Pauline Sanders, from the announcement recent nows- papers have carried about her winning the Pulitzer Prize for Poetry, seems to have arrived. At least another groat name has been added to the anals of American Literature. s V Walter Shapnek. the author of the recent bestseller, $ How to Cure Insomnia, soys that the only safe way to insure sloop is to try reading Shakespeare, If that doesn't work, nothing will. i Alice Sherman has purchased Healy's Roller-Skating i Rink. Now she won't have to pay every time she wants to take a ride around the poles. Donald Suits has become affiliated with the Now York Power and Light Company. His job is to keep Galway supplied with gas. Leslie Wilde appears to be walking down the corridorofrtvasT7“dlsmal building. It looks like Sing-Sing. Yes, it is. When did Les become warden of Sing-Sing? That's something I missed. Must be slipping, Yonych, who is teaching in the College for Midgets says, From now on I'll be looking down at the people, not up.

Charlotte Brundlre leaves her wonderful fingerir. formula (clarinet and otherwise) to Ernest Schaoer-' John. loiter Shapnek leaves his time-honored and much-remembered ejaculation, Hey, take it easy, to Shirley Hunter. Bernice Sanders bequeaths her extraordinary ability to get the seams straight on her stockings to two well-meaning and deserving souls. Miss Schwem and Miss DeCotis.

Her only desire is that someone else give her a few inches of stature, Alice Sherman, class t reasurcr, leaves to her successor three slightly used ledgers and the remains of a few tons of aspirin. Doris Phoenix, who can usually snutch a bite of cake or candy between classes without getting caught, leaves the secret of her success in this field to whoever gets hungry between meals. Los W1ldc loaves his daredevil driving ability to Hr. Perry. In order to conserve rubber, Lcs now goes aroiind corners on one wheel instead of two, as he did formerly. Lena Male leaves the sweater-wearing field solely to her only opponent, Hiss Schwem. Jennie I.Iaryzak leaves to Miss McKnlght a bigger locket for that certain picture .

Each one of U3 is eagerly awaiting the month of June and commencement. At that time we shall have reached our shining goal, gaining the name of seniors. The solemn silence of the occasion will bo broken by the triumphant cry of, Seniors are wol Entering this school in 1939, we made up a so-called group of freshies , which name we easily lived up to. Two years hove passed and at last we have been allowed to organize a class. Last fall, September, 1941, we chose the following officers: Presi- dent, Cynthia Clark; Vice-President, Claire Comfort; Secretary-Treasurer, Helen Shrtas. Following tradition, the Junior Class is again sponsoring the yearbook. As in the past two years, wo ha ve received our Senior rings in the spring of our Junior year and are now proudly displaying them. The Jtmior Class nova joins with many others in wishing all success and happiness possible to the class of '42 and as time draws us in their stead, we hope that we may be as successful as they have been The members of the Junior Class arc: Cynthia Clark Claire Comfort Lorraine Des Roches Shirley Hunter Shirley Knights Stella Kochman Lottie Leszczynski Betty Male Beulah Oakes Thomas Quinn Thelma Sounders Helen Schmidt Helen Shotas Stanley Stabor Shirley Knights •43 i - I — MJiAA I! i r T : ■ { •j — ■ vV“ i -: !: it S h v nr- � i if i! ! i ! f 1 jj •4-' ?

It was about a toy hospital and how the toys came to life. The operetta was called, When Toy3 Come To Life. A large crowd saw the evening performance and said it was very well done. About once a month on Fridays we have been having popular educational movies Two of the movies were UNION PACIFIC and THE BUCCANEER. We hove won the attendance award three times and have been excused from school at noon on the last Friday of the month. Practically everybody has hod the mumps, even the teacher.

Being lead by the same conductor for five terms, it has improved by leaps and bounds. When it came into being in 1933, Mrs, C, V. Keuhn organized the orchestra v hich represented only a small fraction of the student body. Then Mr. Hershkevitz came to Galway and conduct•'d the group for a year. Its present membership is twenty-three members. When it v as organized in September, the following officers were elected; Alger Bagdan, manager; Edmond Jezierski, assistant manager; Shirley Knights and Hume Donnan, librarians. A little later in the season, Alger Bagdan was elected as student conductor, and Charlotte Brundige as assistant. The first public appearance was at the Christmas Program which took place in the school. This will probably be followed by appearances at the Milton Grange, Skidmore Music Festival, Spring Concert, Baccalaureate and Commencement.

Apparently the reason seems to be that the nev students have less aptitude for singing. The present attendance of the chorus is thirty. The constitution was revised this year by Alger Bagdan and Alberta DeWitt. The old constitution contained many articles and provisions which were not practiced and new ones were needed. The chorus has made a few public appearances, The first v as at the Thanksgiving services followed by the Christmas Program, Dairyman's League Convention, Skidmore College Choral Fostival and Baccalaurerto and Commencement services. The officers of the chorus committee are: senior member, Bernice Sanders; alternate, Alger Bagdan; junior member, Lorraine Dcs Roches; alternate, Helen Schmidt; sophomore member, Alberta DeWitt; alternate, Dorothy Sherman, and freshman member, Carl Schmidt; alternate, Paul Close, The chorus closes another season wishing for a much better one in the near future. 1 5 Alger Bagdan 42 7 , ' .'

Staber 'f tff fti ffl f f ,'j fy ,V Vy W , I I 1 I I i i i i i r, r ASKSTBALL Galway was greatly handicaped this year because of a graduating Varsity team last year. There wasn’t a player from the previous Varsity team in the line-up this year. Two other players also left this school. Ted Fendentz, a sophomore and a new-comer, slowed the greatest marksmanship, scoring over seventy� 3ix points in six gomes end forty-four in two of the games. Most of the gomes were la3t minute thrills. The first thriller was at Round Lake. Galway was leading with the score of fifteen to fourteen; there were only thirty-five seconds of playing time--o foul was colled on Galway. It was made, making the score even. Then it happened, a Round Laker, from the center of the court, sank a long shot which finished the gome with Round Lake victorious. The second game wrj played v ith Perth, with Gslway on top with forty--thirty-eight victory. This game was a sort of free-for-all account with both teams gaining leads at least three different times during the ame. Galway won scores: two games out of six. Here are the Perth Stratford Round Lake Stratford Perth Round Lake 28 28 17 30 38 27 The games were played in score is arranged.

'. .' . ✓ • Despite the handicap of losing two foremost players, the pitcher and the catcher, Galway expects to have a snappy team under the coaching of Mr. Abel. With only three regulars and two substitutes from the previous season, Mr. Abel is doing an excellent piece of work forming a team around them. Pour regular players will make their appearances with Galway for the first time, three of which are in the infield. The pitching will fall upon the shoulders of Staber and Quinn, two veter-i ans from last year. The infield is practically new, composed of: SpringerlB, Divinich2B, Stnber3B, and FendentzSS. It is probable because of transportation shortages that games will be limited. At present are two games scheduled with Woestina.
