We ponder thus On life's great mysteries and hesitant stand, Reluctant to leave childhood's happy hours, Yet eager for that great adventurealife. The road is edged with sweet and lowly blossoms Which symbolize the joys of our existence, The joys of service to the ones we love. Deep in the thicket from the roadside's edge, Flamboyant, brilliant, dazzling in their hue, Appear those flowers which lure us from the road And seek to tempt us from our lofty aim, Unholy joys which on this broad highway, Assail the hearts of all who travel hence. Still in our consciousness will always linger The goal of all our greatest dreams-success. For some 'twill mean the praise of fellowmen, For others, just a Fireside, faith and love: But may we see emblazoned in life's sunset, He glanced aside-but did not lose his way.'

Throughout the last four years we have been preparing almost unconsciously for this day, but now that our work is nearly completed, we more vividly realize the immense value that this preparation has been to us, and regret that more has not been made of the opportunities pre- sented to us for our help. From the disorganized ranks of Freshmen we have gradually advanced until we are now a united class, closely bound together by friendship, and devo- tion to our class and school. It is our good fortune to have been bom at such a time that we have been able to witness the greatest war in history, and to have had a part, during our early days in I-Iigh School, in bringing it to a successful close. lt is now our duty to con- scientiously do all that we can in the solving of the many pro- blems attendant upon reconstruction. The class has always taken an active interest in athletics. Individually, several of our members have held positions on the basket ball court, the gridiron, the diamond and the track. Collectively, we have supported the Athletic Association by our membership, and have handed over to them the proceeds from our two entertainments, the annual public speaking con. test and our Senior play, The Merchant of Venice. The class has fostered one new project, a school magazine. The Iroquois is not wholly a Senior production, but the Senior influence has been predominant. We of the Class of 1921 have done our best to make an eminent record and it is hoped that it is such that it will be looked up to in the future, and that the good reputation of the school may be better for our having been in it. Whatever the future may have in store for us, may we always remain true to our Alma Mater. - .- - i- 2 - .- H ll ll ,ll , lf' ll I ri 9615332 SKS Tl-IE CLASS OF 1921 President Vice President Secretary Treasurer Class Poet Diary of O.

THE RED and BLACK 20 CLASS HISTORY When the beaming faces of our unusual Freshman Class first appeared in the halls of our High School, even then did we show promise of a most exceptional class career. Far be it from us to claim that we entered High School in any more dignified manner than the usual Freshman Class, but there was a difference, for behold. at inter vals we showed signs of intelligence of a high order. As all Seniors know, rare indeed is the Freshman, or Sophomore for that matter, who can be said to possess even a small degree of knowledge. We all passed through our first year uneventfully, stumbling here a little in Biology, and there in the intricacies of Al- gebra, but showing a marked improvement over other classes, except, perhaps. that of '20, which possessed the phenomenal brain-power of that most distinguished graduate, Cutler West. Nor did we relax from our course, when we passed our exams in june and be- came Sophomores. Now we began to lose ourfprecocity and our studious habits. to some extent. Here we met with Caesar, and were introduced to French. These stiff subjects kept us busy, but some of us managed to step out to a dance on Friday night, and go calling on Sunday, which is the proper thing for a Soph to do, provided he does not interfere with the Seniors, whose nights out are Monday, Tuesday. Wefnesday, Thursday, Friday and Saturday, with Sunday afternoon or night to go out of town. We finished our second year successfully. At last we entered our Junior year, and here we came to a swift decline in study. Here Red Partridge found that in order to stay awake in Physics class he must go to bed at eleven each night except Friday and Saturday. Bloom Russell didn't find it out until too late, and now he's still trying to catch up in his sleep. He holds the school record for tardiness, with Monty Chapman a close second. The contest is getting exciting. At this time also, Rudy Cashion began to make his name and fame as a basketball star and woman-hater. Also Monty Chapman made his debut as a high school center. Some sensation! Monty says he keeps gaining all the time, but we don't see any change in his figure. We went up to Regents examinations in june, l920, with fear and trembling. After the smoke blew away and the casualties were counted, it was found that the majority of the class would park their books in Room L in the fall. Such had been our irrepressible good spirits that Miss Goulding heaved many a sigh of relief when we left Room K for our last year. Last September we entered upon our final year in Glens Falls High, and we'll say it's been some year, if a Senior may make use of such picturesque language. At our class meeting we elected Rudy to the dignified office of president and Estelle Dearstyne to that of vice-president. Genevieve Bazinet was appointed to wield 21 THE RED and BLACK the quill, but she has had very little to do. Harold Austin was elected to save up the nickels and dimes, and he has had still less. Our class rings were selected and purchased some time before Christmas. Everybody remarks about the unique and unusual design. Such should be the case, for are we not an unusual class? Following the custom of other Senior classes we held a play, The Merchant of Venice. The success of the play was due almost entirely to the able super- vision of Miss Abbott, and to her genius in fabricating scenery. Here Robert Cashion again covered himself with glory, when Nerissa took the flying leap into Cratiano's ready arms. Bethenia McCreery in the role of Shylock showed great ability in dramatics. For the first time admission was charged for an entertain- ment of this kind, and over one hundred dollars was cleared, which we had the honor of turning over to the Athletic Association. K Close on the heels of this affair came the crowning success of the year, namely, the Senior ball. It was held on the night of December 29. No effort was spared in making this event a great success. The hall was gaily decorated with long streamers of green and black, the class colors, and palms, placed in the corners. Beaton's orchestra furnished music for about sixty couples, including a large number of high school alumni. It is said that several Seniors attended. Dancing was enjoyed from nine to twelve, when the party unwillingly broke up to the strains of 'S Home, Sweet Home. U By this time the basketball season was getting under way. Again we found Robert Cashion in the limelight as captain for the year. The team had some hard battles, and generally came out victorious. Rudy Cashion and Monty Chapman represented ,ZI in all the games. We prophesy that they will be filling a place on some college ,varsity team in a year or two. The games throughout the season have been very well attended, and at last we have had a little pep in the cheering section, due to the efforts of Bob O,Connor, Gordon Partridge, and Avery Allen. For the first time in many moons have we kept the cheers rolling with a snap across the football field and basketball court to encourage and put fight into our battered warriors. Even some of our girls were wont to shout in accents wild, Razzberries, fwith a broad aj. ln the early part of April the class marks were published. They compared well with the marks of other classes graduated from G. F. H. S. Rose Alter won the valedictory, and Genevieve Bazinet the salutatory. These goals meant four years of hard work. Congratulations to you, girls! This finishes the story of '21, except for this record of our activities, The Red and Blackf, Next fall we shall be scattered over different States, most of us at THE RED and BLACK 22 institutions of higher learning, never to sit in a class-room of our High School again. The Class of '2l makes its bow and passes into history. Harold A uslin, Gordon S. Parhidge, Bloomfield I. Russell. CLASS PROPHECY Everything happened this way. I had been late every day for the past two weeks until it had finally become a habit. But that morning, Mr. Stilwell called me into his august presence. Please, he begged, as a favor to the faculty and the school, please try to be here on time tomorrow morning. As he uttered these heart-rending words, his voice shook, and tears came into his eyes. Deeply touched, I vowed that I would be there the following morning-but how? That was the question. My only hope, the alarm clock, was broken. It was then that I realized that the only way possible was for me to stay there all night, so I would be sure to be there the next morning. So that night, I successfully evaded the watchful eyes of the several teachers, and after all had left the building, entered the study hall, sat down in one of the seats and fell asleep. It was the middle of the night when I awoke, but I was not at all sleepy, and decided that I would wander around the building, and see, as much as possible, how it looked by night. I made my way carefully down the stairs and found myself in the lower hall. All was deathly quiet, and dark save where the statue of Minerva gleamed white in the dim beams from the arc light on the street. I went to the door, and looked out into the peaceful night. As I stood there, I heard something moving behind me. I turned in amazement. The statue of Minerva was no longer cold and lifeless! A rosy flush was creeping over her face, and a look of supreme intelligence welled up into her otherwise vacant looking eyes. The statue had come to life! I stood there too astonished to speak. Minerva smiled and spoke first. Don't be surprised, she remarked pleasantly, I do this every night at this time. While speaking, she had climbed down off her pedestal, and sat down on it, arranging her robe. Come over and talk to me, she said invitingly. I get awfully lonesome here all alone. If you wouldn't mind removing that snake first,' ' I demurred. Minerva smiled, and touching the serpent on the head, spoke a few words in Latin. Do you know where it can get anything to eat? she inquired. I suppose it might try to find something in the safe down in the domestic science dining room. 23 g THE. RED and BLACK You know, I've often wondered what they keep in that safe, and with all my wis- dom, I've never been able to find out. Obediently the snake crawled away, and I heard its marble coils clattering down the stairs. I sat down on the pedestal beside her. Are you really very wise? I asked eagerly. I suppose I amf, she replied modestly. Can you tell me anything I want to know? I queried breathlessly. Anything,', she smiled. I am not reputed to be a prophetess, yet I have some secret knowledge of the future. Then tell me, oh tell me, what there is in the future for the Senior Class, I begged. Without further delay, she obligingly began: The first one that comes to my mind is Robert O'Connor. I see him as cheer leader for the Old Ladies' I-Iome, attired in a gay sweater of deep purple with crepe trimmings, the class colors. Next I see Margaret Ramsey thrilling a vast audience in the Metropolitan opera house with her wonderful voice, while Madam I-Iomer stands at the stage door grinding her teeth in envy. The scene changes and I see walking down Glen street, Thelma Thomas, the proud parent of angelic twins named Aeneas and Dido. In spite of any effect their names might have on them, the children get along splendidly together. And now I seem to be outside a large theatre while overhead twinkle a thousand electric lights, tracing the following words, 'Miss june Lovely' in 'The Bootlegger Loves I-Ier Still? lMiss Lovely, it will be remembered, was Miss Edith Clarl-1.1 Again the scene changes and I find myself in a somber study. The walls are lined with deep books on philosophy and theology. But who is this person whom I see seated at the desk busily writing? It is none other than Miss Estelle Dear- styne engaged in her favorite pursuit of writing deep, melancholy essays on higher thought. This time I seem to be in a prison-and I see a familiar face. Ah! it is Miss Helen Williams. No, she is not one of the convicts. She is lecturing to them on the inspiring subject4'The Importance of Being on Timef '6 And now I see before me a small hamlet, consisting of four houses, a church and a store. There is but one person visible in this lonely landscape. He is at- tired in a white suit Cthat is, it was oncel, and carries over his shoulder a long handled brush. Behold, the person is indeed Mr. Gordon Barnum, the street cleaner of West Ft. Ann. THE RED and BLACK 24 Again I see a stage and this time Hitting about it, gracefully attired inashort white skirted affair, I see Monsieur Cashion, famous toe dancer of the Russian Ballet. Monsieur Cashion's love for fancy dress was first manifested in l920, when, as 'C-ratiano,' attired in a dazzling costume of blue and gold, he wooed the fair Nerissa. This time I seem to see before me, a broad expanse of fields, and in the dis- tance a small farmhouse. The dawn is just breaking over the pastoral scene, dis- closing to my view an industrious figure clad in blue overalls busily engaged in digging apples. Ah! now I see that this prosperous farmer is indeed Mr. Bloomfield Russell. Although it is now barely four o'clock in the morning, he has already been at work over an hour. lGood work, Russell, say well Next there floats before my sight the vision of an-extremely pretentious building. At the entrance I perceive a sign reading 'Mn Merritt Braydon-Famous Spiritualistic Mediumf And now, I am entering his seance chamber. It is hung with dark, somber draperies and an air of mystery pervades the place. In a mas- sive chair I see Braydon himself, attired in a red and blue bathrobe, with a Turkish towel artistically wound around his head, gazing fixedly into what seems to be anin- verted goldfish bowlfpresumably a crystal. But this vision is not yet ended. The door of the seance chamber opens, and in steps an extremely prosperous looking young man.fIt is Cordon Partridge. 'Well, Braydon,' he sings out, 'I sold 250 ouija boards to-day. Not so bad, eh?' Braydon smiles and rubs his hands. 'Cood work, partner,' he answers, 'there's sure one born every minute, eh, Red? This scene gradually fades from view, and another takes its place. I see this time before my eyes a poor tenement district swarming with rather foreign looking people. A woman attracts my eye-a woman with a kindly benevolent expression- and on looking closer, I can make out Miss Harriet Smith, missionary to foreign lands lwhitehalll. This angel of mercy is busily engaged in handing out copies of 'Hamlet' to the starving population. This vision over, there arises before my eyes a stately ancestral castle, home of Count Meout and his wife, formerly Miss Mary Wilson. On entering the castle, I am struck forcibly by the bareness of the place and the thought comes to me that the furniture has been sold to pay the taxes. Though sad, 'tis true. For al- though Mary's husband is a Count, alas! he has nothing to count. S S S S I What a change! I now seem to be standing before a long counter, while be- hind it stands Mr. Arthur Cowdery, bartender, passing out liquid refreshment to thirsty souls. Ah! now the scene grows clearer. Oh, pardon me, my mistake. 25 THE RED and BLACK Instead of a bartender I now perceive that Mr. Cowdery is the chauffeur of a soda water fountain. ' Next, I see a dark cave, hidden in the wilds of Prospect Mountain. In keeping with the scene, I see an extremely wild figure with long hair and beard, clad in a tattered gown. How sad! My eyes grow dim as I gaze. Poor Ralph Wells, disappointed in love, has become a hermit, and has foresworn all society. The next person appearing before me is Miss Gertrude Morrison, who has had great success as saleswoman for horsehair corn poppers. Miss Morrison carries her wares in a handsome concrete suitcase. . Next there floats before me a vision of the Sheriff with a warrant for the arrest of-Miss Kathryn Eddy. It seems that Miss Eddy, as editor of 'Snappy Stories,' has exceedingly annoyed the board of censors, who have therefore issued the aforesaid warrant. How touching is this next scene! I see two small children being shamefully maltreated by their French governess, Miss Genevieve Bazinet. I gather that Miss Bazinet, her nerves worn to a frazzle with the futility of trying to instil any appreciation of Racine's 'Esther' into the minds of her charges, is taking it out on them. Poor dears! How I pity them! A What a strange foreign scene now presents i self! Nearby I see a sign post on which I read the words, 'Czecho-Slovakiaf In the midst of this interesting landscape appears an inn. On entering the door I see as a barmaid her who was Miss Mildred Fosbrook and her Czecho-Slovakian husband, selling vodka. At a table fnearbyj are seated two familiar figures, whom on closer inspection I discover to be Mr. John McKernon, now member of the President's Cabinet, and Mr. Loyal Gibbs, president of the oil trust. The two friends, I understand, are spending an extensive vacation in the aforesaid country on account of the continued dryness of the U. S. Too bad, John, that there's nothing in the way of liquid refreshment in the President's cabinet. Out of the scene gradually unfolding before me I hear a voice. 'Yes, Mr. Vanderbilt, table this way, sir. Special today, stuffed bees' knees on toast, sir, Yes, sirg very good, sir., Ih the haze before me, I now see a figure. Mr. Ralph Smith is now none other than head waiter at the Waldorf. The G. F. H. S. may well be proud to claim this majestic figure as a product of her halls of learning. And now before me I see a magnificent apartment, which is but a background for a still more magnificent woman, who is fbe prepared for a shockj Miss Ruth Bennett, successor to Theda Bara. As I gaze, I hear her say in a languid voice. 'Marie, you may tell Mr. DeMille I will positively consider nothing under Sl0,000 a week., Miss Margaret Crosby now comes before me as a country school teacher. Miss Crosby is at present employed in the important pastime of reading 'Advice THEQRED and BLACK 26 to the Love I..orn.' by Beatrice Nearfacts fonce known as Ruth Doughtyj. Margaret is seeking the answer to her query, 'Shall I marry the village pastor or the janitor?' The wild acclaim of thousands meets my ears with the enthusiastic shouts of 'Norris, Norris, Norris!' In the prize fighting ring I see Wilber Norris trium- phant, while at his feet lie eight fatally injured men laid low by his mighty hand. Mr. Norris is graciously allowing himself to be photographed for the newspapers, having won a purse of 350,000 There gradually comes before me the picture of Kenneth Ellsworth as deacon of the church at Smith's Basin. Dear Deacon Ellsworth seems to be quite the idol of his small congregation-bless his soul! What an uproar! The whir of machinery and the sound of voices meet my ears. In his private office, I see Clendon Bush, editor-in-chief of 'The Daily Blastf Mr. Bush, as usual a great patron of education, has just finished signing a 55,000 check as first prize for a Latin translating contest, conducted by 'The Blastf It may be appropriate to remark here that the winner of the Latin contest is Miss Edna Everts. This time I see a stage, filled with gaily dressed people, and I perceive a musical comedy is being given. The figure which impresses me most is one whom Inow see to be Mr. I-Iarold Lambertson. But how strangely Harold is acting! Has he the St. Vitus's dance, or the shaking palsy? Not so. I now perceive by a program that Mr. Lambertson is hailed as a great exponent of modern jazz dancing. In this scene before me, in the front row of the audience, I see one other familiar figure, namely Simon Yaffee, eminent writer of students' encyclopedias. Mr. Yaffee is making a scientific study of Mr. Lambertson's contortions as material for his new book, 'The Close Relationship between Monkey and Man.' As I gaze far into the future I see that Wallace Reid, our once handsome matinee idol, can no longer hold our interest. But his place is not vacant, for it is now ably held by Harold Austin, who once sprang into national fame as 'Bassaniof As I gaze, I see Mr. Austin reading one of the 2,421 'mash' notes he has received on this particular day from love-sick girls all over the country. S' Alas! To what depths former greatness can sink. I now see our once famous athlete, M. Chapman, but ah! how changed. Poor Monty, broken in spirit, harrassed and henpecked, seems to be on a Sunday outing at Round Pond with his four-year-old son. From this sad scene of wrecked glory I hear his patient voice sayingf'No, no,-Oswald mustn't take home pretty pond in his pocket. Naughty! Naughty! Papa spank!' But let us haste with all convenient speed from this scene of placid domesticity! From one who has sunk to the lowest station of human existence. let us tum our attention to one who has attained the highest point of success. I now behold 27 THE RED and BLACK Miss Ruth Rockwell, famous lady balloonist. Miss Rockwell carries with her as ballast Mr. Walter Rosenberg and Mr. Ralph Bullock. No, Ralph, you are not going to be tied on the end of the rope. lSee Iroquois for March.l Who is this familiar person now appearing before me? It is Miss Dorotha Wescott, census taker for Ft. Edward. Miss Wescott, having interviewed the entire population of her district fall three of themj, is spending a quiet afternoon at the city hall with Miss Agnes Wiley, Mayoress of Glens Falls. The two public officials are discussing the new tax bill, the latest crochet pattern, and the diHiculty of supporting one's husband in the style to which he has been accustomed. And now the biggest and most exciting scene of all floats before me. l find myself present at a small circus, managed by several of our old friends and being held near a little country hamlet. As l enter the small gate, pushing through the vast crowd feleven in all, to be exactb, l see a sign reading: 'Awkumon Circus Biggest show for its size on earth.' l step up to the ticket booth, and, for a dime, am handed a small piece of pasteboard by Miss Bethenia McCreery. A few steps farther, and the ticket is rudely snatched from my grasp by Miss McCreery, who rushes back to her window to sell it again. As l stroll about the circus grounds l see Alec Silverman as Wild Man- plus a shredded wheat skirt and with much the same ferocious expression he once exhibited as the 'Prince of Morocco., A little farther on l see Miss Dorothy Dickinson, snake charmer, with several sleepy and careworn reptiles twined gracefully around her neck. From the con- tented expression on Dot's face, I gather she is thinking of pay day. ln the next tent a trained flea show is going on, managed by Miss Sara Broomell. As Miss Broomell cracks the whip, the little fleas arrange themselves in a row-then the first hops up and wheels a second in a little wheelbarrow. A third jumps through a hoop, and a fourth does the shimmy. This show is now over and Miss Broomell carefully puts the little animals to bed on a nearby dog. As I emerge from the tent and look about me I see several hicks and hayrubes getting severely sunburned by watching Miss Rose Alter performing her celebrated tight rope act fifty feet in the air. She slips! She screams! A shudder runs through the crowd. No! she is safe. l breathe again. But how undignified, for our valedictorian, Miss Alter, is now suspended screaming in mid air by the in- visible wire which held her in the first place. Near by l see an exciting race going on, with Miss Adeline Irwin, noted jockeyess, urging on her plodding farmhorse. THE RED and BLACK 28 And now the circus is fading away, said Minerva. What is this I see before me? Matilda Atiyeh, a poet, starving in an attic! Icheer up, Matilda, they'll appreciate your work in two or three hundred yearsll Minerva stopped and passed her hand over her forehead. There, I guess I've told you everything, she finished triumphantly. I-Iark! The serpent is coming back-I must go now, and again I heard its clattering folds on the base- ment stairs. Dawn was breaking. A rosy flush was slowly spreading over the east, and the first struggling beams of the sun were lighting up the dusky corners of the hall- way. Minerva arose and placed one foot on her pedestal. l've enjoyed talking to you so much, she whispered, and now I must go. I heard a key turn in the lock-it was the janitor. Perhaps there was yet time for one more question. I seized her robe. Minerva, I pleaded wildly, tell me one more thing-will next year's class be as bright as this one? H But it was too late. I-Ier robe melted from my grasp and once more she stood on her pedestal, coldly and lifelessly beautiful. The momentous question re- mained unsolved, and time alone can answer it. Kalfiryn Eddy. Between optimist and pessimist The difference is droll. The optimist sees the doughnut, The pessimist sees the hole. CLASS OPTIMIST It is scarcely necessary for me to go into details about the achievements and merits of the present Senior Class, since all have had them for a living example for varying lengths of time, beginning with the unhappy Freshmen who have known us only a term, up to the happy teachers who have had us under gentle OJ guidance for four or more years. Naturally every class thinks it is the best class ever gradu- ated, but we have proofs which show beyond a doubt that we are the most excep- tional class the Glens Falls High has ever had to its credit. a We consider ourselves to have done our best work with the late World War problem. Of course everyone is aware that we ended the war, but some may not know how, so for their benefit I will explain briefly. During its course we sent several messages to the Kaiser, telling him exactly what we thought of him. This terrified him exceedingly and he finally took our notes to the Grand Council, where 29 THE RED and BLACK they were gravely discussed. After two or three of these he became convinced that with such an enemy against him his plans were already wrecked, especially when he learned we had sent word to Pershing to crush the Hindenburg line. We were indeed sorry to have to drop the Mexican question at the beginning of the war, but we are now preparing to pick up the thread where we dropped it. We shall soon have a delegate to instruct President Harding on this highly im- portant matter, as well as other minor ones. To descend from the sublime to High School notes we beg you to consider what our dear old school would be without us. Look at our study hallsgmodels of neatness, orderliness and studiousness, due to us and our example. Our prin- cipal?-Nothing need be said. The best and the most efficient the school has ever had, and all due to us. We have safely ushered in the largest and freshest Freshman class our school has ever known for ever hopes tol. We hope in time they will learn to imitate their el lers, but we have our doubts. And as for nerve, we have positive proof that no former class can beat us in this. Why, for years the school has wanted a school paper, but it needed our nerve to start it. In another line, we gave success- fully The Merchant of Venice,', which other classes have considered too difficult. And we have seen the bea-u-t-iful new statue of Minerva, serpents, velvet curtains and all set up in the hall. In conclusion, oh Teachers, Fellow Students and Freshmen! we wish to warn you of what lies before you. Never hereafter, oh Teachers! will you have such brilliant and attentive classes, never such hours ever free from monotony. Never, Freshmen, will you again find such patient teachers in the mysteries of High School. CWhy, I even found a little Freshie who didn't know how to pass a note., Never, alas, never, School-in-General, will you find such enlivening school-mates. Let us shed a quiet tear for those to come. Beifienia McCreery. CLASS PESSIMIST I have been appointed to the honorable office of Class Pessimist! As I look about me, I gasp! What do you think of the Class of '2l? Not much? l agree with you. They certainly are the worst class in every possible way that has ever been graduated from Glens Falls High School. Look at our bashful John and Edna! They hardly speak above a whisper and wander around in a frightened manner like fawns that have strayed from the doe's side. Our childish members, Monty, Mid, Wilber, Avery and Company, are just as bad in another way. They look, talk and act as foolish as they really are. Then THE RED and BLACK 30 notice the importantfilj Barnum, the dignified president, the bright GJ editors, our ridiculous bobbed-hair members, and the rest of the rabble, who all tend to make the Class of '21 live up to its reputation, namely, that of the vi orst graduating class of Cu. F. H. S. In any group of human beings there are always two extremes. The Class of '21 is no exception. The above mentioned individuals are one extreme. Certain members of the Virgil class Qmostly femalej represent the other extreme. They saunter about with a know it all expression and generally get by with it. They are always prepared in their studies, are studiously inclined in the study hall and are excellent specimens of what the faculty would like the school to be. But even they aren't so much. They have been excelled in their own line many times by previous classes. A very few of our students are in a class all by themselves. They are afflicted and are reported to be slowly passing away with the fatal disease of self-importance. They imagine the school would go to pieces if they were removed. Gee! it must be awful to be that way! I wish I could go into minute details on the vices of all the class. But space is rather limited for this very important work, and so I shall be able to give only a very brief glimpse of the habits and customs of the students of the Class of '2l. If only some heavenly body would force Bloomy to reach school on time fall earthly powers have failedjg if the deities would only endow Monty with a little common sense, if all the ancient Muses would only make Bob understand that he isn't clever: if someone or something would only show Red that he isn't handsome: if these few things could only happen, then the Class of '21 would be somewhat as a class should be. From a physical standpoint the Class of '2l is as bad as from other stand- points. They are either too tall or too short CMonty and Midj. Where, oh! where is the happy medium? I see the honorable editor is getting concerned over the amount of space I am using. so I shall bring my little degradation to a close by repeating that the Class of '2l is the worst that has ever been graduated from old C. F. I-I. S. Harold Lamberlson. CLASS GIFTS As the Class of 1921 severs its connection with this High School, it see ms fitting that each member either present a gift or be presented with one, to aid him in life's work. Clendon Bush, our Santy, clad in his best pajamas, has been selected to distribute the following gifts: 31 THE RED and BLACK For Edith Clark, the remains of Estelle's, Mary's and Willie's glorious tresses, to eke out hers. For Monty, a portable gym, where he may shoot baskets to his heart's content. To little Kenneth, who loves to wander, we give that privilege, andwarn him to keep away from Bacon Street. It's dangerous! Frances is learning to dance. For Wilber we think a safety razor might not be a bad gift. Simon has invented a silencer with which he consents to part in order to keep Walt from getting into serious trouble with his mouth. For Merritt, in case he never grows up, there are the stilts Estelle has been using around school. Cashion, tired of his magnetism for the sweeter sex fof which he has made good use, bequeathes it to Harold Lambertson. fBeware! girlsj L 2 For Agnes there is an accident insurance policy and a four-leaf clover in casd of accident with her new car. H Here's a megaphone for Mildred Fosbrook. May her brilliant 'recitationsl bd heard all over the world and perhaps go down in history. . A useful gift for Harold Austin is a never empty purse. fPerhaps wefll have some peace nowj . . To Bloom. Ruth Doughty donates a mule. It may come in handysdown on the farm. .N . To Alec, we give a perpetual pass to the movies, of which we are surorhe will make good use. A- The Virgil class will to Thelma all their Virgil books. She loves them so! Robert O'Connor offers to give free nuke lessons for life to Dorotha Wescott. We wish her success! For dear old Sara we have broken our pocketbooks to buy a classy Hudson- super-six roadster of her own. fThere is plenty of room for one good sized person besides Saraj Matilda is so kind as to give her excellent ability to vamp to Ruth Bennett. For Kathryn Eddy there are six fountain pens and several crates of writing paper. We hope that she will use them to good advantage. To Ralph Wells we award a medal of plaster of paris for talking so much in French class. We give to dear little Arthur Cowdery a rattle box, with which he may play and annoy his college profs. To Gordon Barnum, Chapman gives all his excess importance. To Red we give a package of Diamond Dye. Color-green. It might make an improvement. There is a pretty pink hair ribbon for Tiny McCreery. To john McKernon we give all our French books. THE RED and BLACK 32 To Mary Wilson we give an electric curling iron. Now. what cares she if it does rain! For Margaret Ramsey we have purchased a tuning fork. Good luck, Maggie! To Margaret Crosby we give a pair of Sure-Ons. She will probably need them in a few years. N1 For Loyal Gibbs we think a dicer would be really becoming. He is such a dudel ' ' 'i For Adeline we hope some shock absorbers for a Ford car will be acceptable. We have, in the interest of astronomy, appropriated the funds necessary to buy a dirigible for Rose in which she may take a trip to Mars and parlez-vous with the natives, Cif there are anyj. To shy and blushing Gertrude Morrison we give the gown she wore in The Merchant of Venice. It was such an admirable fit and so very stunning. Willy relinquishes to Harriet Smith her stardom on the baseball diamond. Here's to the prospect of a second Ty Cobb. Rah! To gaintly Dickie we give a sweet-briar pipe and the necessary tobacco. She's a regular George Washington, but she might be induced to smoke. For cunnin' little Gen, we have purchased a silent wireless communicator to be installed on her desk at Cornell. lt is guaranteed not to get out of commission. Bpld and daring Edna Everts has procured a partner to toddle with Estelle fguaranteed to continuej. To Ruth Rockwell, an encyclopedia, to increase her already startling knowledge. To Bushy, Avery has most generously willed his bathing suit. It wouldn't shrink to fit him! Eslelle Dearslyne, Qorolhy Dickinson, Mary W iison. ass- KD Xu ,av . 4 4.

THE RED and BLACK ON READING VIRGIL I dearly love my Virgil, I think it is immenseg But if you'd only buy it, I'd sell it for ten cents. And if you'd only buy it, ' I am sure you would find joy In reading of the wanderings Of the lovely Trojan boyg Of how the army entered Troy Inside a great big horse: And how the snakes twined round the boys And ate them up, of course. Of how the Trojans, overwhelmed, Ran far away, to hide, And how the Greeks went wild with joy, And burned Troy far and wide. I-low Troilus took his horse and rode Far, far from war's alarms, And hung onto his chariot E Although he'd lost his arms. And how Aeneas lost his wife, And of all his magic dole, As through the wood and through the town I-Ie with his father stole. And how the Trojans now departed From that sad and bloody war, And o'er the seas their way then made To Diclo's friendly shore.

But not so we, our fancy turns to ploughing up the mud. 'Tis Football time, we roll in dirt, with shocks and blows and blood. Then Winter comes, with wind and snow and folks look out at leafless trees, and curse the cold and long for Spring, to don once more their B. V. D's. Not so with us, we do not think of months of hibernation-'tis now the time for Basket Ball, our favorite recreation. Ancl now at last the winter's o'er, and Spring is here, with mud and slush: the time when long-haired poets spout of hearts ancl Howers and other mush. But now we think of mighty Babe, the crash of willow on the Ball. For other things we have no thought, 'tis Baseball season, best of all. Harold Auslin. THE RED and BLACK 42 BASKET BALL4I920-2l The basket ball season of Glens Falls High School for l920-Zl is one that can be called successful, since sixteen out of twenty-two games ended with the G. F. H. S. at the big end of the score. This is a showing in athletics which upholds the stand- ing of the school in all athletic circles. Every one of the players deserves great credit, as this year marks the high school as having one of the fastest quintets in amateur basket ball in the State of New York, The type of playing and team work showed beyond a doubt the variety of ball which contains sportsmanship and ability in the game. The only disappointment of the season was our failure to capture the champ- ionship of the E. N. Y. P. H. S. Major League and win the trophy given to the victor in the tournament for the championship of Eastern New York. However, this makes the fourth consecutive year that the Red and Black has entered the finals at Schenectady. It goes to show that there is good material inthe Glens Falls High School and that a failure does not dampen our spirit and ambition to win. One game that will long be remembered is the one with the Schenectady High School at Glens Falls. This contest demonstrated the caliber of the Red and Black at its best. lt was no disgrace for any team to be beaten by the G. F. H. S. that night, as they played the game of the season, and each player was in perfect form. Another big surprise came when the second team beat the Union College Freshmen. Mr. F airman's efforts to produce a winning team for I920-21 can not be com- mended too highly. His work was an important factor in forming a team of which Glens Falls is proud. Monty Chapman and Rudy Cashion have played their last game of basket ball for the G. F. H. S., but their names will long be mentioned with esteem by the students because of the quality of their playing. We are lucky to re- tain for another year Mac. Potter, Bennett Skane and Clifford Sprague, whose fight- ing spirit and head work have won many games. Dobler and Cote are promising material for next year and are men who can be depended on to do their best. The support given by the student body, and their enthusiasm at the QHIIICS, show that the spirit behind those who strive to bring honors to the good old Glens Falls High will never cease. The scores for the year were as follows: Excelsior I9 Glens Falls 36 Edison Drafting School 8 Glens Falls 40 Albany 20 Glens Falls I4 Granville 7 Glens Falls 95 Collegiates 38 Glens Falls 32 Collegiates 20 Glens Falls 34 43 Alumni Saratoga Troy Gloversville Schenectady Troy Whitehall Albany Ballston Union Freshmen Gloversville Schenectady Albany Plattsburgh Academy Syracuse Glens Glens Glens Glens Glens Glens Glens Glens Glens Glens Glens Glens Glens Glens Glens Glens TRACKfI 92 I THE RED and BLACK Falls 53 Falls 23 Falls 24 Falls 21 Falls I 5 Falls 54 Falls 39 Falls 35 Falls 23 Falls 25 Falls l 9 Falls 36 Falls I7 Falls 37 Falls 34 Falls 23 This year marks an intensive renewal of a branch of athletics in which the G. F. H. S. in the past has been most successful. The days of Kaulfuss, Farrell and Mar- cus are returning, and the prospects for a winning track team are bright. There is a great amount of enthusiasm shown by the candidates, who are working hard to at- tain for themselves and the school a degree of ability which will result in a victorious SCHSOII. May I4 will be the date for a Tri-county meet at the Washington County Fair Grounds, and May 2l marks the final and mo st important meet at Union College, Schenectady, where all the Public Schools of Eastern New York will be represented. The contest will prove to be an exciting one. To Mr. jenkins goes the credit for the revival of track. He is working unceas- ingly to form a team which will carry off the honors and bring more glory to good old Glens Falls High. A L. ' 'Q Mlm , 1 i olwes l ff N ibn-xnl vo WE LACK A KINDERCARTEN!

Ex. 47 THE RED and BLACK THE FRESHMAN When you have worked all week And taken about 'steen exams, And you are a Freshman And can't know your marks, And all the Seniors strut around the halls And have their marks posted every day, And then it comes Saturday At 9 A. M. And you go down to school With a queer feelin' inside you, And you see your name on the lists With a little 9095, attached, i Oh, boy! Ain't it a gra-a-a-n-nd and glo-or-ious feelin!
