VVe have all enjoyed our four years' for morej stay here, so much so that several of our mem- bers have decided to put off leaving till another year. fBe good to them, Juniors, and perhaps they will give yo11 some good advice IJ Our many comradeships here will be missed a great deal, more even than the cheerful aid of our good friends, the teachers, or even their scoldings, which we no doubt deserved. All these things, and the good times we have had, written down in our memories, will be a source of joy to us for many years to come. We hope, oh schoolmates, that you will miss us a little, that you will not let the class of '21 go out entirely from your memories, as we must go from your school. It seems rather hard, at first, to think our school will go right on with- out us, that others will fill the places we have filled, just as well, perhaps better. But we will find other places, outside of school, in which to work and play. We are proud of the record we are leaving behind us, the youngest class but with the high- est scholastic standing, which will now be set before you as a standard to live up to. NVe can not wish your way to be any easier than ours ...-oss - 0+ 0 has been, for hard work is one of the joys of a High School life, but we do hope that your suc- cess will be as complete and happy as ours. So with the best wishes and all encouragement for your struggle, we leave you now to find wider and more varied fields to conquer. This issue of THE ORACLE marks the end of its seventeenth year as the school paper of G. H. S. The retiring Omcmz staff is not a little glad of the fact that it is The End and not The Beginning of the seventeenth year. However, we have all tried to perform our duties to the best of our ability and it is our hope that these efforts have met with the school's approval. For next year's ORAULE staff We have only a few words of advice and wisdom. Try to issue 'PHE TJRAULE not more than one month late each time and follow closely the advice of Miss Yerkes and Mr. Wiggins. They have proven themselves time after time, and we wish to take this opportunity to heartily thank both of them for their efforts in behalf of THE ORACLE. We also wish to thank our contributors, subscribers, and advertisers, for the splendid support which they have given us during the past year and We sincerely hope that they will all favor the next Board of Editors in like manner. ' QEI Hlinete The canyon of the Rio Blanco measures thirty feet from side to side. Looking down between its dark walls, one can see the river gleam like snow and hear the echo of its wild roar. Black rocks that lift themselves from the water look like pebbles, tho they weigh tons. On one side of the canyon lies the land of F11 Verano with a populace of dusky Mexican guitar tl1ru11m1ers. On the other side sofme Americans operate a silver mine. For several months everything had been peaceable, but now a difficulty had arisen. In the last two weeks a lone maurauder had made away with several bags of silver. Once he had been seen by moonlight among the shadows of the alamos, and he had been riding a giant horse of deepest black. On account of his skill- ful riding, the Americans called the man El .linete, or The Horseman.

As we gather here, I recall many happy incidents along the way to our destination, where we have found this week such a joyous and cheerful end- ing. Never shall we forget the right good times we have had this year. Picturing to myself the last' four years I find that we have come over a course that has led to success in all the branches of our school activi- ties. The one thing that especially stands out is that the farther along we progressed, the easier and more interesting became the work. This last year has been the happiest and most successful of all years. We commenced to see the usefulness of the education that previously we had taken for granted, and consequently we have become more interested in getting it. The Class of '21 has not been altogether oc- cupied by study, for you can easily see that we have taken hold of and well grasped many other things. The gym and field called on us for vol- unteers, and we gave them the best we had. Our athletes, ability showed for itself in quali- ty, for they shared the starring honors in every game in which they played. Not only in athle- tics did we set a good standard, but also in so- cial activities. l am very glad to say that we have had many good times together-times which we can never forget. Now we are en- joying the climax of it all, here at our house party. For various reasons and on several oc- casions other branches of our talent have been brought into action, namely, dramatics, music, and debating. In dramatics we raised the school standard in the excellency of our presentation of Charley's Aunt, the success of which showed itself in the amount of money raised. Perhaps in music we have showed our least talent, nevertheless, we find that no other class has gone beyond us. Debating, which is prac- tically a new field in connection with school, was very much in need of good material and sure enough, we backed up the cause with spirit and enthusiasm enough to win the first debate that G. H. S. has had for a number of years. It would be practically impossible for all of us to be directly connected with all these vari- ous branches of activities, but there are two things in which we all have been faithfully in- terested, first, in our scholastic average. It is the highest of all classes of the Gloversvile High School. I can remember a good many obstacles that we had to overcome and can see that they did not phase us one bit, but that they did en- courage us to work harder so that we might bc better able to overcome them in the future. Be- cause of' this, we have two students with aver- ages above ninety, while the lowest average is well above seventy. Next we have done much to further school spirit. From those who taught us to revere our school we learned that to have school spirit we must do everything possible for the good of the school itself, as well as for ourselves. So it has been that no matter what we were doing, we put school spirit at the head of it. I am sure that this is what has spurred us on so often. The fact stands out very plainly that the Class of 1921 is the all around class of Gloversville High School. It is very pleasing to find that we have no slackers among us. It's seldom that this is true of a whole class, and I am very proud that it can be truthfully said that we have all pulled together to accomplish this year's reward. The reason why this is so is because we have lived up to the motto which was so well chosen, be- cause it it is so true to life, Apres le combat la courrone, which means, After the combat tI1e crown. It means a great deal to have something to work for, anyone should feel that he will be rewarded according to the amount' of work that he does, and the spirit in which he does it. Though next year will find us much divided, our unity of spirit and ideals will keep us close- ly connected. I hope that you will be en- couraged on to success many times with the spirit and confidence in mind that' you have had this year. Those wl1o expect to go away to school in the fall should be enthusiastically en- deavoring to continue the course of success that has been commenced this year. But no matt'cr what our course in life may be, it will be a very wise thing for us to go straight forward with the proper ideals in mind. It is the best way to capture success. GERALD BERNARR. GRINNI-:LI,, '21 .lem-1, ,192 AM going to game which the Class of reputation on tell you about a baseball was just played between '21 of G. H. S. a11d class the High School diamond. 1 7 he lass iiaistnrp drew the attention of some of the gcntlemin members of our team from the ball .1 good de il more than was mete, while the other, 1 till handsome fellow, drew more than one admn mg The faculty was our umpire and a more satis- factory one could not have been found, although at times we were not inclined to think so. 'But what mnpire or referee has not been raked over the coals, usually unjustly T? Hut to go on with the game, everyone played unusually well in his own position. School Life was pitcher for the other' side. He was a fine pitcher and some of his balls were rather hard to hit, but our players worked hard. A series of Latin verbs and some of his curves QZ2 illld Y2l were pretty difficult. Une trick especially, algebra problems, was a sticker for nearly everyone, while biology was easier. The pitch- er, an old and experienced 0119 at the game, knew all the tricks of the trade. All kinds of balls went to our players as they came up to bat. l'aesar's Gallic wars, Uicero's orations and V irgil's Aeneid were for some, while commer- cial law, bookkeeping Elllll shorthand were for others. R-ectangles and circles, science and his- tory kept some of us guessing. Another kind, called basketballs, was a specialty of some of our men, while others made more hits at those called baseballs or footballs. Burke's Concilia- tion with the Colonies and French phonetics were the bugbears of nearly everyone. Some were able to hit those called debate, and two of our number, Bass and Fox, even starred in that kind of hit. Some of the individual plays were especially brilliant. Fox, every time he came up to bat, made a peach of a hit, especially at mathe- matics, in fact, he knocked the ball so high that the rest of us scarcely got a glimpse of it. Corey, too, made some fine hits. Her special- ty seemed to be those called commercial law and bookkeeping. Fear of being taken off tl1e team made us keep our marks up and do our best. Those who failed we bequeath to the Class of '22, Unly a few of our players were struck out, but most of those redeemed themselves later in the game. There were two players on the other side, the heavenly twins, whose names-you'll recognize them. l know-were Good Times and Sans Souci. Une, an' exceptionally lively, pretty girl, glance from our girls who should have bien more attentive to the game. Une of our men, although he played well, un- fortunately stubbed his toe on an 0R.AK'l1I'l staff and fell down when he was running from third base to home. But he tried it again and came out victor at last. Then another man, Bass, almost made a home run. He made third base thc first time, and then made the home plate. He played well in other ways, too. Our team also boasts a regular Babe Ruth, who is good anywhere you put her. Of course, some took a more active part than others, but all played unusually well. The class made more individual hits and better ones than any preceding class. lt was a great team and we came out on top of the score with fifty-two runs. VVe might have made fifty-six, but four of our players missed good chances to make the l10ll10 plate, so we came off the field with fifty- two runs. With regret we leave those players to finish with the next class. But all work and no play makes .lack a dull boy, and what went on on the sidelines is worthy of mention. The hilarity and class spirit mani- fested were often the despair of the umpire. Corn roasts galore, school dances, house parties, picnics, and all sorts of fun were indulged in. Un one side of the bleachers the loyal Sophs yelled their throats hoarse urging us on, while on the other side, the Juniors and Freshies egged us on to do better with their childish actions, their horns and squawkers, infantile contrivances. Here and there, one might even see a few sucking their thumbs, while others substituted lollipops. The playing of the or- chestra and the mandolin club, and the singing made it all the more exciting. When any of our men made a particularly good play, the cheer- ing, ably led by our cheer leaders, was deafen- ing. And oh, il almost forgot to tell you of a par- ticularly amusing incident that happened to-- ward the close of the game. Two of the inno- cent little Juniors, impelled by native curiosi- tContinued on Page 307 8 Tun Oaaclnfz he lass rnpbrrp ALKING down Fifth avenue one sun-shiny day, there is a young man wearing a silk hat and otherwise dressed in the latest with a girl leaning on each arm. lt's Stewart Abdella-does it seem possible? Because of his brilliant speeches and convinc- ing manner, Glenn Bass will be elected in the near future to the governorship of New York state. ln later years .loc Berlanstcin's name will ap- pear in all prominent papers as the greatest historian of tl1e age. The future holds for Gerald Grinnell un- rivalled success as an inventor. He may even surpass Tom. lfldison-who knows ln later life we will see Jesse Cashinsky es- tablished as the world's tallest man. Strange things sometimes happen! Though Bob Dart's future seems unsettled just now, he will eventually become a noted newspaper editor a11d, because of his advanced ideas and fondness for the fair sex, his staff will be composed entirely of wofmen. Upon inquiring the cause of loud applause issuing from a far famed opera house, we will find that Warren Fox is the leader of a great orchestra which is calling forth tl1e aforemen- tioned praise. None will be able to surpass Ben Franklin as a stage manager. lle has it right down pat and will no doubt become a professional in this line. He may even become a great movie director. Of course, everyone remembers what a genius he was during the Senior play. While an orchestra is playing the latest song hit a certain few talented girls are dancing tl1e latest steps before their admiring dancing mas- ter, Raymond Freeman. lf it were only in tl1e time of kings and court- jesters, Johnny would be one of tl1e latter, but as it is, our friend Mr. McKillip will become a noted physician. Page Smith, the Berkshire merchant, will some day be captain on a lMan of War, but will eventually be reduced to the rank of deck-hand as a punishment for his too frequent conversa- tions with the mermaids. , Benjamin Starr will be hailed as tl1e world- famous poker player, due, of course, to experi- ence acquired in his younger days. Perhaps the happiest member of our class will be Kennie Van liuesen. The cause of his joy will be due to the fact that he has built and is boss of a gum factory. It is quite certain that Charles, alias Chuck, Miller will become a great stock broker. His success will be due largely to his smooth lille of talk. A girl, who is taking dictation from the head of a firm in a large establishment, suddenly glances up and we recognie her as Betty Gorey, a tell-tale diamond sparkles on her left hand. We wonder if the diamond was bought with money earned by selling drugs? Carrie liel Torto, everyone's friend, has a bright future before her. She seems to settle down early in life with a fine husband and many friends. ln Jenny liorey's opinion, Amsterdam is the finest city on the map. lt is there that she will finally settle, down with one of her boy friends. Mae Griffin will be a school teacher in one of tl1e nearby cities. Her aim in life seems to tend toward the teaching of -Civics to those who, be- ing more fortunate than herself, know nothing about it. True to her sex, Anna Becker will become a great lecturer on the question of Votes for Women. Some little suffragette! We have no trouble in believing that some day Hattie Bradley will become a famous shorthand teacher, and we surely wish her every success. Because of her winning personality, Dorothy Uhesebro will become the head of some great woman's organization and will succeed if her hopes are all realized. Marian Uooper has decided to keep a store later on. She will make a specialty of selling bows and arrows. This is due to her fondness for darts. As a missionary, Ethel Clute is going to be a great success. This is right in her line and she is looking forward to it with great anticipation. lsabel Houghteling seems always to be laugh- ing, so we may rest assured she has a happy life before her, although it is hard telling ex- actly what she will do next. Though tl1e Maneth farm is large now, it will eventually cover a great deal more of the sur- JUNE, 1921 rounding country. Emeron will be the boss and will specialize in the raising of small farm products. A senator from New York is about to be elect- ed. Victor Panek is trying his best and it seems he is about to succeed. Some friends are even congratulating him, but he is laboring under a misapprehensionf' for, when tl1e returns come in, Grace Karl, another of our classmates, is found to be victorious-the first woman sena- tor from New York. WVe may well expect some day to hear that Francis Bourne is a great lawyer. He is al- ready unsurpassed in his arguments and there is nothing he likes better. ' A young man is just alighting from a taxi and entering a large drug store. It is owned by Farrant k Co. When the man comes out a little later, he looks up and we see our old friend, VVilfred. One member of our class is going to rival 'Paderewski. Of course, you all guess that it is Evelyn Burr and you are not far wrongj Piano- playing and heart-breaking will be her chief oe- cupations. . Galli Curci seems to be casting jealous eyes on a young lady. They are both in the Metro- politan opera house and the one in question is Nlargaret Lenz. Ruth Vedder will soon leave Gloversville as she finds it a little slow, and, because of her natural charm, will be given a trial in the movie world. She will become, without doubt a sec- ond Uonstance Tahnadge. Because of her great love for children, Emily Hall will be established in the near future as the head of an orphan asylum. Elizabeth Whipple is going to make a bril- liant success in the business world. There seems to be a paper on whose staff she holds an im- portant position. .Because of l1er great ability of making herself agreeable, she will always have many friends. A stage is before us and on it appears a dancer who is world-famous. As she comes nearer and nearer, the lights grow brighter, we see our classmate, Verna La Rowe. Ruth Naish will become a bookkeeper in some large firm-perhaps a New York bank. ln future years we will read a great deal about the dean of a certain college who has introduced many new and successful ideas, which are the result of much dreaming done during her early life. The dean 's name will be Marion Spicer. - 9 Vile see a young lady sitting at a desk with a great pile of novels before her. In the back- ground is a sign which reads: Bookswritten to order - any style - prices moderate - French translations a specialty-Elizabetl1 Hodges. Before a large fire-place, in future years will be seated a young lady darning socks. We al- ways knew her as Adelaide Kenyon. Now her name is-well, do we need to say what? Pauline Karchowsky, unlike most women, will break the world's record for silence. There will be at least one girl in our class who will realize her ambition to be a nurse. Margaret Manwell will be the head of a large hospital. VVouldn't it be nice if Tom could be one of the patients? Because of her great ability to manage things, we expect something great from Phyllis Men- dell, but it seems that she is going to be content at no distant date with the management of one man. Marion MacDonald ought to go on the vaude- ville stage as a eomedienne, but instead she will become a great society leader, due to great fame acquired through illustrations of popular novels. Because of her unlimited ambition, Julia Shufelt will make a great success of her life, especially along business lines. , Due to her great love for teachers, Rosanna Shear will keep a boarding and rooming house, where only the above mentioned need apply. Ethel Lieberman-It would not be at all sur- prising if Ethel carried off the honor of being the first member of our class to be married. lt is so much more convenient for two people to occupy one side of the street than to live op- posite each other. Some day Blanche Noyes will be famous be- cause of her voice, and will make a tour of the country giving concerts. Alice Saxton is going to travel about a great deal, and it seems to be as the companion of a noted lady. It' looks as if Liberty Nicholas might spend her life watching baseball games and carrying flowers to a first baseman in whom she is very much interested. . Henry Houghtaling will be a circus manager and won't be able to refrain from taking the part of the principal clown. ln the future Ruth McGuire will be the wife of a sailor. This life will be especially pleas- ing to her in that a good share of the time she will be a grass widow, which will give her free- dom to exercise her vamping powers. C. DEL Tomo, R. MCGUIRE ll? T H ic Oimcnn bt barge tn the juninrs T the close of this talk l expect we shall have a spectacular, pyrotechnic dis- play of bombast from our young rep- resentative of the Junior Class. De Nihilo, Nihil fit. Nothing comes from noth- ing. It will be his mission to spellbind you in- to believing that they are a live class, and to this end he will direct his prattle. VVe now come before you in a straight-forward effort to see that you are given the unbiased truth, and noth- ing but the truth. This can be obtained only by an impartial examination of the records con- cerning the functions participated i11 by both classes during the past year. The Juniors have had two school parties, mere money-making affairs they were. The first of the class parties was an affair which they honored by calling a party. There was something peculiar about this Hpartyf' Either they could not find anyone to chaperon it, or they ran short of eats, for when the Vigilant Seniors arrived about seven o'clock, the Junior boys had gone, leaving the girls for the last load. The Senior boys having no quarrel with the Junior girls, allowed them to go in peace. Then they decided to have a sleighride. When the night appointed arrived, young Maider was late to the rendezvous, and so he decided that he would run part of the way so as not to delay the rest of the party too long. Quite oblivious of his co-pedestrians, he breezed by a couple of Senior boys, who hailed him. Where are you going, Maider? Uh! er, er, to the show. Well, isn't that great? We're going too, so come along with us. Seeing that the game was up, he allowed them to drag him off to the show while the rest of his classmates were enjoying themselves. The Seniors, having compassion for his youth, and fearing a shock to his delicate nervous system, allowed him his freedom in time that he might partake of the eats served after the ride. This brief account covers the social activities of the Junior Class. ln contrast to this, the Senior Class have had two school parties. There is absolutely no doubt in the mind of anyone but that they were the finest school parties given by any class. We had our sleighride and six real parties. The Seniors, realizing the state of coma into which the Juniors had fallen, did not make very seri- ous attempts at secrecy regarding any of their affairs. On one occasion Lenz and Maider, two prominent Juniors, with their chaperon, were driving aimlessly around the city when they happened to run across our meeting place. A bright idea occurred to them, so in order to put it into execution they came over and offered to drive a number of the Seniors to the place where the festivities were to be held. flt was a rash thing to do, but I should like to remind you of that old saying, Fools rush in where angels fear to tread. It turned out that instead of taking Seniors for a ride, Lenz was given a ride by the Seniors. At a point a few miles north of the city, George began to complain of some of the effects of the ride, in particular, aching feet. Now the Seniors are a humane bunch, and when they viewed the agonies that the poor fellow was going thru, it was decided that he should suffer no longer, so he was released and given an opportunity to rest his pedal extremities by walking home. This incident was the only oc- currence in which a Junior figured in a Senior affair, and was quite an accident. At no time in the past year have the Juniors attempted to make a concerted effort to join in any Senior function, which l believe to be ample proof that the spring of their class spirit have run dry. The fibers of their being have shrunk and with- ered until they are now but an empty shell. VVe will now turn the pitiless glare of the light of publicity upon another field of en- deavors-athletics. We shall take up first foot- ball. lt seems unnecessary for me to say any- thing regarding this phase of sport, for you al- ready know that it is in this field that Glovers- ville High School reigns supreme. With this knowledge in mind, it occasions no surprise when I tell you that there were six Seniors on the squad and two Juniors. This clearly indi- cates the unwillingness of the Juniors to contest in a man's game. ln basketball tl1e balance is in favor of the Seniors, altho tl1e game is not so strenuous, and really should be more to the aesthetic taste of the Juniors. There were three Juniors and four Seniors on the squad. With almost half the squad Juniors, we marvel that our teams succeeded in annexing as many games as they did with such an insuperable handicap. In the JUN iz, 19221 intra-mural league the SOIll0l'S wo11 a goodly majority of their games played, and finished the season with a percentage considerably in excess of that of the Juniors. In the only game played between the two classes, one Senior outscored the entire Junior team, the final score being 27 to 8. VVe were scheduled to play them another game, but the one beating so demoralized the Juniors that tI1ey begged the coach to save their skins by cancelling the game for them, which he did. Baseball season has just closed, and in look- ing over the squad, we find that the classes have equal representation in numbers, but the captaincy is held by a Senior. Now one more point. The number of Seniors on several of the squads is not very much in excess of that of the Juniors, but remember the Juniors outnumber the Seniors two to one, so that the percentage of the Senior Class on any athletic squad is far ahead of the percentage of' the Junior Class. The Juniors will claim to be THE class, but so far I have not been able to unearth any facts that will bear out their contentions. Did you know that the best, hardest working, most efficient members of the Juniors were Seniors who, beset by misfortune and by the oversight of the inventor of classses who forgot to pro- vide a place for such cases, were forced to join the Junior Class? There are a number of Seniors who elected not to graduate this June, but did they join the Junior Class? Not on your life, they knew a live class when they were in one. And dear Juniors, what about tI1e Senior who did join the Junior Class? He stood it as long as possible, but seeing the utter im- becility of' the Juniors, he decided to increase the amount of his work and graduate with a real class. The Juniors are a bright, learned, intelligent bunch. They are steadfast as a rock, play absolutely fair, even among themselves. They know par- liamentary law from A to Z and backwards. But in the midst of this praise, 'I' remember an event that makes it all a mockery. Juniors! how many presents did you elect for this term. I say two, and it required three meetings in order to choose the final one. They are just like a crowd of young children, never sure of their own minds. l wonder if they're all posi- tive as to who is their president? Chances are, half the class couldn't say for certain. 1.1 Some time ago the Juniors decided that the principles and spirit of' their class should be perpetuated in color. I'm certain the colors they have chosen do them credit-green and yellow. The,Class of '21 has repeatedly been ack- nowledged a scholastic class without a peer. Individuals as well as the class are covered by this record. Some of' this success we attribute to our mascot. It is a ruling of Mr. I7ibble's that no class fracases should occur in the High School building at any time. It is a ruling of the Board of Education that no class fracases should occur in the High School building at any time. Please note that no higher authority in this city can make a ruling in regard to this school. These edicts the Senior Class have al- ways venerated and respected. Winter holiday season was at hand, and the Seniors, following the precedent established some time ago,.had charge of the -Christmas exercises. CThis pre- cedent was ignored by the Juniors during the past year for they failed to offer a single pro- gram for chapel at any timed For the principal decoration tl1e Seniors, in the interest of' the en- tire school, made use of a large tree formerly belonging to the Juniors. Previous to this time we had made an ofiier to purchase the tree but our ofifer was ignored, and the tree deposited in a manner and location which tended to indicate that they had finished with it. During the ex- ercises our mascot was placed on exhibition. M'r. Dibble's iron hand had been temporarily removed, but we entertained no fear for the mascot because in our folly we believed that the Juniors would have respect for the chapel, for the rulings of Mr. Dibble and the Board, and last, respect for themselves. In all these we were rudely disappointed. Showing a disre- gard for honor and discipline that was pitiful to behold, they appropriated our mascot, hoping thereby to gain a small share of the honor and scholastic ability shown by this class. Juniors! This acquisition netted you noth- ing but a loss of respect. Remember, you can never hope to attain our place in the sun unless you do real consistent work. It is in the spirit of assistance that we, the Class of' '21, leave you our records to be used as a goal toward which you may strive in order that our Alma Mater may never have to slacken the pace she has set or lower the standards that she has raised. l+'aANc1s F.

We are the youngest class as yet, the class of '21, We 've struggled through our High School years, and had our share of fun, Now we are all so proud and glad to know the fight is won. CHORUS Oh, it's G. H. S. forever, Oh, G. H. S. to thee Our love will cling, always we'll sing with pride and loyalty Of thy statoliness and beauty, thy fair and honored name, Uh, Alma Mater! hear us, as thy praises we acclaim. We do not like to bid farewell to friends wl1o linger here, To those who've taught us evermore our High School to revere. ln future years may they still say of the class of '21 'Apres le combat, la courrone,' that is the way they 've won.

After much forethot and with a great deal of reluctance, we give the Juniors the right of leadership for next year. We did not decide to do this till after we knew that four members of our class had decided to stay over and help out ,22. To these four members we bequeath enough Pep-tonic to dig the class out of its grave and keep it awake. We express our sym- pathy for these four before-mentioned members. To the boys of the Junior class, we leave a book of etiquette. 1Ve hope that they will study it so that the next time they have a frankfurt roast, they will let the girls go l1o1ne first or else accompany the111 home. As the Sophomores deserve the right to be- come live Juniors, not like tl1e present Junior class, we bestow upon tll0ll1 a little TNT, 'to be used in case they begin' to show signs of becom- ing like '22, The class wills to Johnny VVood a play en- titled, The Dancing Shoes- g to Packie Gol- lins, the Senior girls, mirror, a comb, and a brush, to Benjamin Starr, a new pinochle deck for games held in room 63, to Don Bassler, a pillow so he will be able to nap peacefully in classes. Owing to the fact that Bob Scribner is late every morning, we present l1im with a milking machine so he will get here on time occasimzally. To Leslie Houck we give a bathing suit to use when chasing baseballs in the Sacandagag to the school, a half holiday the next time tl1e circus comes to town. We grant permission to Lydon Maider to take the chaperons in his car to all the Senior parties next year. Because of the trouble the Athletic Associa- tion has in getting money, we present them with a booth from which they may sell chewing gum and lollypops. VVe leave a horn to Glenn Bass and Marion MacDonald, so that on the next sleighride they will be able to let the driver know that they are tl1e rear guard. A carpenterhas been engaged to put a bench at the south end of the l1all on the second fioor for the benefit of Elizabeth Corey and Howard Farthing. Because of his freslmess, we present Bobby Butler with a pound of salt. Altho Marvin Morenus already has some ability for disturbing classes, Bob has consent- ed to teach him the famous Dart giggle. To Babe Lasher we leave a few inches so she and Van will not resemble Mutt and Jeff. To George Lenz we present a manual on How to Keep Still by the Abolishment of My Cut-out, and 'fHow to Learn What is Going Un in the Senior Boom Without Actually Be- ing Presentf' I We remember Mr. Vickery with a wireless, by means of which he may receive messages from students, saying that they are coming. We bestow upon Victor Panek, a ball-room. He is to furnish his own hot air. To Dr. Lenz, we bequeath tl1e right of attend- iI1g any sick members of the faculty so that he may help George out. We give Bob Dart Marion's Phi Delta pin on condition that he will return it to her within a week. The class, by unanimous consent, appoints M r. Dibble to referee the next foot race, to be held in the High School Gym., between Bob Dart and Chuck Miller. ' Vile present to Miss Wood the slips contain- i11g the names of those who were to stay for seventh period on May 20th and June Gth. They mysteriously disappeared. Inasmuch as the door between room 77 and the chemistry labratory is of no further use, we give tl1e janitor the privilege of removing it and using it for firewood. Lastly, we hope we leave the entire school a good, lasting, last impression of the Class of '21. ln witness whereof, we, the Class of 15121, the testators, have to this, our Last Will and Tes- tament, set our hand and our seal this twenty- first day of June, 1921, A.

Mary Sunnncrville played a group of very pretty pieces. Florence Lighthart gave a vocal solo, accompanied by ,May Silver. An instrumental selection, t'The Flower Song by Lange, was given by Elizabeth Wetherbce, Warren Fox and Harold Hotaling. Mr. VVilliam George, founder of the Geo1'ge Junior Republic, who was recently in the city, spoke to us about his work. For Memorial Day observance Dr. Parker of the Freernont Metho- dist Church, gave us a talk on Carry Un. The Rose Maiden, a cantata by Cowen, was rendered by the High School choir Friday evening, June Sid, under the direction of the Misses Devendorf and Tyrrell. The solo work was done by Miss Ruth Bassler, soprano, Miss Devendorf, contralto, Mr. Ralph Steele, tenor, and Mr. Arthur Yauncy, bass. The accompan- ists were Mrs. Walter Williams and Miss Helen Lasher. Saenior Notes lf you haven't already walked i11to 64 and seen our new banner which hangs on the side wall, you had better do it, because you'vc missed something. A few weeks ago the Seniors held a picnic on the banks of the Sacandaga, beyond the Northville bridge. The boys furnished tl1e cars and everyone went. The Water was so inviting that one of our members rather enjoyed his walk in midstream after a wayward baseball. The Senior play was a great success, even financially. The boys and girls had a contest to see which could sell the most tickets. The girls lost and gave the boys a banquet which they appeared to enjoy. Mr. llibble was toast- master and several members of the class re- sponded to toasts. After supper, which was served in the old gym., dancing was enjoyed on the first floor. Juniors, your party in the gym. was very en- joyable. We were so glad to hear from you at last. The Senior class is very glad to make the an- nouncement that thru the kindncs and generosi- ty of the the board of governors of the Ec- centric club, the Senior assembly is to be held in the ball-room of the club house. The follow- ing letter, which was received from the secre- tary of the Eccentric club, speaks for itself, and we wish to extend to the club our hearty thanks. The letter: At a meeting of the board of governors of the Eccentric club, the desire was expressed that the club have an opportunity to take some part in the commencement week exercises of the Gloversville High School, this year. The desire was prompted by a deep sense of the great im- portance of the event in the life of our city, not only from an educational, but as well, a social and commercial standpoint. Standing as you do upon the threshold of a new life, about to part from tl1e old school associations into new relationships, the Eccen- tric club desires to extend to you the hand of good fellowship and wish you Godspeed. It is my great pleasure, therefore, at the di- rection of the board of governors, to extend to the graduating class of the Gloversville High School, the use of, and freedom of, the ball- room in the club house, for their assembly on the evening of June IZ2d, 1921. , The Seniors are all sorry that they are leav- ing this last year, so full of fun, behind them.

S. has had in baseball in a long time. During the season our team met and defeated some good teams. Among them were Fonda High School, Am- sterdam High School, Canajoharie High School, lCxcelsior High School, Rotterdam High School, and liansingburg High School. 'l'he team snttered defeat at the hands of Schenectady, Johnstown and Amsterdam, because some of our best men were out of the game. ln all athletics during the past year, G. H. S. has played thirty-three games. Of this number they have won twenty. Not very often does a High School have such an average. You will ag1'ee that this mark is something ot' which to be proud. G. H. S. students have supported the teams somewhat better during the past year and the teams wish to thank those who came out to cheer them on. Our team certainly works best when it is backed by a good crowd of its fellow students. We will now leave thots of athletics for an- other year. Some of' us will be leaving dear old G. H. S. for good and probably will not be able to attend many more games. But you who are left, do your best for Alma Mater, whether you play on the teams or are among the spee- tators. We who will have passed on to other fields will hear ot' G. H. S. and its athletics. Let us hear good reports. We who are leaving, one and all, say Good luck to you forever, our beloved G. H. S. R.

The members of the Class of 1921 will be the guests of the Association at that time. Tl1e Class of 1920 held its second reunion since its graduation last week at Vifellstown. A most enjoyable time was had by every one of the '20 grads, only a few of whom were forced to be absent. Fred H. Harris, '90, was recently elected acting cashier ofthe City National Bank of this city. Miss Etfa H. Spencer, '99, of San Francisco, Cal., recently visited friends here. Holhert VV. Fear, '09, B. S., Cornell Universi- ty. '13, recently revisited his Alma Mater, and witnessed the spring rushes at Ithaca. At tl1e Moving-Up Day exercises of the New York State College for Teachers at Albany, held May 16th, Miss Catharine Drury, '17, rep- resented the Junior Class of the college at the formal exercises in chapel. Frank Knack, '15, a Junior at U11io11 College, a short time ago was UI121IlllIl01lSly elected sec- retary of the College Athletic Board for the year of 1921-1922. The announceinent of the engageinent ot' t'atherine O. Saxe, of Des-Arc, Kansas, to Mil- to11 Loucks, the president of the 'Class of 191-1 of the High School, was recently 111ade. Miss Marion Treher, '18, was graduated re- cently witl1 the nurses' training class of the Ellis Ilospital, of Schenectady. The body of Private Glenn IJ. Hartin, '11, was brought to his l1o1ne here recently, and on June 5th was finally interred in the land for which he gave his. life. With his death, which occurred September 20th, 1918, the school lost a valued Alunmus, his classmates a respected friend, and his country a good citizen. Wesley A. Getman, '17, and Walter Haber- bush, were 1Il6ll1b9l'S of the graduating class of 1921 of Union College, Schenectady. Harry Starr, '16, who has reflected great credit, both upon himself and upo11 the Glov- ersville High School, was graduated recently from Havard University. Miss Ruth Gifford, '16, and Miss 'Edna lvlklll- eth, '17, are members of the graduating class of the New York State College for Teachers at Albany. Harold Richardson a11d Clesson Rogers, both members of the Class of 1916, recently took their degrees at Wesley'an University, Middle- town, Conn.

But S, while it stands for Seniors, stands also for speed, and one of the little fellows was quickly grabbed and -well I wo11 't stop to tell you what happened -but the other one of the innocent pair, when he saw what was happening to his dear little pal, turned and fled ignominiously homeward. The first eventually reached home, minus some of the least essential parts of his wardrobe Zlllll a few toys, but as for the second, all that we can think to say is, t'He who fights and runs away will live to fight another day. A little while ago, the 'EQEIIII 111en1bers had their pictures taken, tonight, the record of their brilliant plays will appear in magazine form.

'Phe year's work with them has been one of pleasure. The time spent has been Well Worth while and we have learned much in these hours. lt is indeed in- spiring to watch for exchanges and run through them, observing the improvements in the diiicer- ent departments and the new ideas being car- ried out. It is astonishing to see in how many different ways a good paper may be edited and the majority of papers have shown much origin- ality in this respect. , As this is the last issue of the year, THE 0aAci.a takes this opportunity to thank all the exchanges for their co-operation during the past year.

VVell, lct's quit and call it a day-as I have a date with an egg, and l don 't want to break it. Found in Somebody's French Book Not a long time to come, I remember it well, Alongside a poorhouse a maiden did dwell, She lived with l1er parents, l1er life was serene, Her age it was red, her hair was nineteen. The maid had a lover who close-by did dwell, A cross-legged ruffian and bow-eyed as well, ' Heisaid, Let us fly by the light of yon star, For you are the eye of my apple, you are. No, no, said the maid. Be cautious and wise Or my father will scratch out your nails with his eyes. If you really love me, don't bring me disgrace, Said the maid, as she buried her hands in her face. When tl1e rufiian heard this he knocked down tl1e maid, And silently drew out the knife of his blade, Then he cut tl1e throat of the maiden so fair, And dragged her about by the head of her hair.

Sinee time began, one of the rules, ln all well regulated schools, Has been for under-classmen brave To cut up rough and mis-behave, Whene'er the Seniors grand would strive To show the world they were alive. At such a function now quite recent, The Juniors laid their plans indecent, And had these plans but carried through, Great would have been the hullaba-loo, But the Seniors in their mighty way Meted out dire punishment, that day. Taking one who's age was tender, Altho a very old offender, They made of him a fair example, And trust his punishment was ample, So in the future, and hereafter He will be good, because he'll haf 'ter. They took l1in1 to a lonesome place, And left l1i1n there in sheer disgrace. They took the shoe-strings from his shoes, His necktie also they abuse. So far away were all his friends, One could not see them with a LENZ. Moral: My advice to Juniors, in eifect, Always treat Seniors with respect. ln Civics Class fMiss Wood- Name four things that add to the health and happiness of the home.

Many attempts had been made to catch the thief, but always he escaped. Then one day the overseer of the mine, returning from a ride, re- ported that he had found the place where El .linete crossed the river. Several miles from the mine, the banks of the Rio Blanco became less steep and a narrow path led down to the water which at that point could be forded. lt is there, he said, that we must go tomorrow and Wait for him. 'l'hat evening came the spring rise. The rapidly melting snows in the far-away moun- tains piled up a head of water that rushed down into the river and made of the Rio Hlanco a raging torrent. 'llwo of the miners, called Harry and Mixy, had arranged for a rendezvous at the foot of a big rock which guarded the entrance to the mine. A-bout moonrise, Harry was riding slow- ly and keeping a lookout for Mixy, when he heard Mixy's voice calling, Come, Harry, I got him. . Harry dismounted and found Mixy pointing to a man lying on the edge of the rock. Ain't this a surprise? We've got him now Harry. Uiiught in the act! I shot him so's he can't walk. And the hawse? 'Wllell I'll be-. 'llhe last l seen of him, the creature was still goin'. He's some hawse, too. But we'll get him tomorrow. He can't cross the Rio the way she's boilin' now. While preparing to camp in the spot all night, a low moan from the Mexican attracted their attention. Me llamo Pablo Vizcaino. Nada tengo. ' So, exclaimed Harry, your name is Pablo Vizcaino, eh? And you have nothing? Well, Senor Vizcaino, you'll have plenty of something when we get you back to camp. Hut seein' you can 't walk no how, We won 't bother to tie you. With that, the boys lay down to sleep. - Several hours later Harry awoke. The out- line of the wounded man upon the rock was plainly visible and there at the edge of the rock stood the magnificent black stallion. VVhat a hawse! thot Harry. 'l'hen as he turned his head in order to see better, El .linete suddenly sit up, and before Harry could draw in his breath, the Mexican rolled off the rock and land- 79 ed on the horse's back. ln a second they were rushing toward the Rio Blanco. Instantly Harry sprang to the saddle and was off in pur- suit. Wlieii the black horse reached the canyon, he a second, and Harry, drawing his the horse draw his feet together, muscles, and with a mighty leap, paused for pistol, saw tighten his spring into the air. Harry held his breath with of it, as he saw the horse land on the wonder the other side of the Rio Blanco with 'Nl Jinete safe on his back. Dazed, he could only stare as horse and rider became but a black speck on the distant moon- lit sand, and were seen no more.. Neither horse nor rider ever bothered the miners again, but old Andres, the cook, says he sees the pair often together at the other edge of the canyon when the river is highest. But it is understood that old Andres frequent- ly sees many strange things which do not in truth exist, and so they do not know. E.
