I7 6775- Ll Me and my mr 5- fi I ,M Senior Class lt seems only yesterday that we, the class of '45, came to G. H. S. as bewildered sopho- mores. But time has gone very fast, and now it is time for us to write up our accomplish- ments, and say goodbye to our alma mater and high school friends. The nominating committee, under direction of Mr. Ferguson and Mrs. Brace, consisted of Ruth Streicher, Audrey Huckans, Iean Morrell, Betty Gerrish, Carolyn Longfritz, Ioan Walsh, Gerald Briggs and Iames Byron. The class officers chosen Were: Gerald Briggs, President Carolyn Longtritz, Vice-President Iean Morrell, Secretary Ruth Streicher, Treasurer We elected Iames Byron, Ioan Loveday, Betty Gerrish, Ronald Gibbons, Nancy Miller and Richard Silvernail to represent us in Student Council. We selected our senior rings during our junior year. The committee who picked them out was as follows: Don Teeple, Mabel Grover, Ruth Streicher, Ioan Walsh. Committees are being selected to plan the Senior Ball and the Senior Picnic. Nothing defi- nite has been planned, but the picnic will prob- ably be held at Caroga Lake and the ball at Adirondack Inn. Many of our seniors have participated in vocal and speaking contests, in chapel pro- grams, and have ushered for various programs. To sum this up-where would the class of '45 be without the Seniors? Last Will and Testament We, the Senior Class of Gloversville High School, being of questionable mentality and unreliable character, do solemnly bequeath to our lowly interiors, the Class of 1946, the fol- lowing priceless treasures from our noble and mighty ranks: Firstly: Mr. Ferguson's American history classes with the story hour every Week. Secondly: To Sterling Brisbin, would-be wolf, we leave the ample talents of Richard Shell. Thirdly: To the 1945 football squad, We leave the fond memory of the huddle battles of the 1944 team. Fourthly: To Ernie Hamm and Ruth Fuhrer, we leave the scraps and battles of Iimmy and Gert. Fifthly: To anyone that wants it, we leave the questionable genius of those arch-chemists, Brooks and Wilbur. Sixthly: To Mary Io Spicer, We leave the bubbling C?l personality of Betty Gerrish. Seventhly: To Phyllis LeVarn, we leave the job of trying to get people to go to Pep Chapel voluntarily. Cl-la! Hall Eightly: To our Big Men on Campus we leave the Boston and Washburn's -- take good care of them, fellows. And last but not least, we leave the talents of our raving and ranting class orator, Nelson La- vergne, to anyone who can talk as long as he can about nothing. Signed and Witnessed this 18th day of March, Nineteen Hundred and Forty-five, at the Law Offices of LAVERGNE, LOVEDAY and SWEENEY P. S. All complaints go to Mr. Lavergne's Department, all unpaid bills to Miss Loveday's Departmentg all money, checks, donations, etc., to Miss Sweeney's Department. twenty-tlaree We Voted Thus At last-here it is. The committee had the same struggle with your ballot sheets as you did. We grew hairless, sleepless, and neurotic trying to decipher the various distinctive scrawls of the Class of '45. Our hearts bled over the empty spaces on so many sheets, but appreciated the brain waves some genuises had who filled the whole battle sheet Cas the committee has begun to call ith out in that brief, hectic five minutes. We tried valiantly to parry your inquisitive and sometimes subtle attacks on who got what. We never were good at keeping secrets for somehow Cwe wonder howl everyone knew Marge was the Class Claudia and Nelson the current Patrick Henry. But why go on? Here it is at last. We submit it for you to devour and digest. P. S. But years from now when you're still digesting it-only with your children pointing at you and saying, Oh, look how funny Daddy looks,we beg ot you,please cast a wee thought to us who have become insomnia victims.

H. S. Well, the class of 1945 has made quite a name for itself but we can't tell you the name. There are, however, three black spots on the roster of our noble class - Martha Sweeney, Nelson Lavergne, and Ioan Loveday. Poor Martha struggled five years to write The Tragic Epic of the Cayaduttaf' only to have it banned in Boston. Sweeney is hiding in seclu- sion now, ostracized forever. Then came Nel- son's big mistake. It was a sad case-he tried forcibly to reform discipline in G. H. S. - he expects to be paroled shortly. Then came the dismal failure of Ioan Loveday. She and Sil were finally married but Sil Won't stop chewing tobacco and Ioan refuses to stop smoking cigars, so Sil now writes a Lonely Hearts column for the Leader-Republican, and Ioan is living in Greenwich Village, writing tragic poetry. But the rest of our class shines brightly. The other night as we turned our television radio, designed by Bill Brown, foremost engineer, we heard a mellow voice welcoming us to Lul- labye time at Fulton County's foremost mecca of society. lt was the golden baritone of Donald Teeple, now manager of the Hotel Broadal- bin, which features the hot trumpet of Lucy Smith, leader of the big name band, Lucy's Lullabye Girls. We listened for a few mo- ments when suddenly bobby sox screams drowned music and words. We learned it was none other than Ron McCoy, that man about town, who is now a second Frank Sinatra. We switched stations and tuned in a big league baseball game. Much to our pleasant surprise, we heard that our ex-class President, Gerald Briggs, was the manager of the New York Yan- kees. Soon we turned the radio off and decided to amble up town for something to eat. Imagine our surprise when we glanced at the billboard of the Glove theatre and saw that the Gerald Rubin Motion Picture Co. proudly precented the romantic drama of the year, The Life of Rich- ard Shell. As we walked on up toward Pros- pect Ave. we saw that a new little tea room had been opened. Thinking that something dif- ferent might be offered and being tired of Boston mi1kshakes,we entered the quaint little place and who should pop out from behind the counter but Mabel Grover and Ruth Streicher! We chatted for awhile, then left just as the afternoon sun was beginning to sink behind Bleecker mountain. fWonder if Don Mader still is a game wardenb. We walked up Main street until we reached old G. H. S. We stood there for awhile as the rays of the setting sun were twenty-zfix We Turn to the Future What is it going to be like after graduation? That is the question in the minds of all seniors. Before the war, one could count on going to college, or he could have a job in mind. But today we live in such a rapidly changing world that one can look ahead over only a few years to see what awaits us in the future. It is not a matter of merely considering one's own wel- fare, but rather the welfare of the world. As far as most of the boys from the gradu- ating class in '45 are concerned, they know that they will enter the armed forces of our country. To the ones who graduate in the forthcoming years, however, falls a strong responsibility. For it is they who will have to strive to make this a better America, not to take it back to pre- war days, but to make it different and better, a place where our boys in the service long to return without the fear of coming back to a cor- rupt country. Yet, it isn't only for the boys who shed their blood on foreign soil that this must be done, it is for all the people in the world, the ones who look up to the United States as their savior. On the battlefields of today, men are making the base for a long and important road, the road of world peace and democracy. We, who graduate in '45, will help to pave it. Then the luniors, Sophomores, Freshmen, etc., of today will put on the signposts. lf these are not chosen wisely, all the work of others will be undone. That is why more than ever so many people depend on the education of us, the American Youth. Before we, the class of '45, leave Gloversville High School, we wish to offer to the luniors and Sophomores our blessing and wishes for good luck. Remember, we have faith in you, the future depends on you! reflected in Study Hall windows. A very faint trace of moisture came into our eyes, and a rather large lump came into our throats as we almost imagined we heard the echo of the Alma Mater in the background. lt wasn't such a bad place after all, and we'd all give the world to be able to be back in high school for just a day. lt began to get dark so we went our separate ways toward home, wondering what ever hap- pened to all the other kinds of the class of 1945. Wherever they were, we all silently wished them all the luck and happiness in the world. sf sa Fin! Rr1u'7fl'lr. Rrzlffln Etlber M. jwzw. Sfreirher. Mahal Peg YfillllK27'c'!l.

The curtain went up November 30, 1944, at 8:00 o'clock, on this hilarious comedy, which was directed by Miss Mary Evelyn Conners, the new dramatic coach in high school. She did a fine job, too. Every Family f-las One is the story of a typical American family whose eccentricities, if hilarious, are only normal. Laura, the mother, is a social climber who tells tales about her g 1 o r i o u s ancestry. The youngest Reardon, Penelope, is a demon with a slingshot and the piano. Warry, the only son, is positive that he is an up and coming Eugene O'Neil. Marcia, the oldest daughter, is twenty and very pretty. Reginald, the father, would rather tinker with an automobile than ticker tape, and Nana, the wise-cracking grandmother, is chiefly inter- ested in Bing Crosby records.

Library Club The Library Club of Gloversville l-ligh School is composed of fortyetwo girls who are inter- ested in library Work and in being of service to the school. The club is an educational as well as a service organization. The girls aid materially the efficient functioning of the library by re- lieving the librarian of desk routine, mending, filing, shelving, and rnuch clerical Work. This enables the librarian to assist the students with their reference work. 089 lbifly-Iu'o NND In addition to what the girls learn about library work from actual experience, trips are arranged which extend their knowledge of books and libraries. This year, a trip to the horne of Mr. Harry Brower of Gloversville to see his valuable collection of old and rare books was arranged. The club is now planning a trip to Albany to visit the state and public libraries there. One of the social events sponsored by the library was a tea for the faculty, given during Book Week in November. The Library Club gives the students an op- portunity to do interesting educational work and at the same tirne, aid the school. Fifi! Rau'-Rudolph Berger. Hurry ll 'ilbz1r, Mabel G1'0I'F7'.

The following officers were elected: Doris I-'olmsbee-Chairman Alma Van Vrankin-Secretary Elsie SharroWfTreasurer Committees Were appointed, and the council got off to a good start. October found the group busy packing gift boxes for children in other lands for the pur- pose of establishing a better understanding among students all over the World. Fifteen of the hundred boxes bearing the name of the Gloversville High School on the side of each contained a special gift of marbles contributed by the boys of G. H. S. Thank you letters have been received from South America and Eng- land. zhirly-four November was a busy month, almost a hectic month for the council as the enrollment oi members was in progress. Gloversville High School responded one hundred per cent. At the end of the month the first Iunior Red Cross Rally of the entire Gloversville Chapter area was held.

The dining room decorations for the Veterans facil- ity at Saratoga had to be finished before our holiday began. Menu covers, nut cups, table favors, and three decorations were made from paper in pastel shades, and wishbones Were made for the fifty soldiers who could not get home for Christmas. ln Ianuary, a call Went out for felt hats and thimbles. The G. H. S. again responded. Pen Wipers were made from the hats to be placed along with thimbles, decorated blotters, needle cases, pencils, Compasses, etc., in another hun- dred boxes-this time for the purpose of re- opening schools in the devastated areas of Europe and the islands of the Pacific. Cur spring project is now in progress. Again we are providing the Veteran facility at Sara- toga With Easter decorations for their dining room. As this goes to press, the finishing touches are being put to colored egg shells, nut cups leaning again fence-like place cards. An Easter parade of eggs, dressed in hats and frills, seated on benches under miniature trees Will give the touch of spring - even though April Fools day may herald a snow storm. The first year for the G. H. S. R. C. C. has been a delightfully busy one. We have served the soldiers, the veterans, and the community both at home and in other lands. thirly-five lfiml Rnzvf- Lulrii' SUZUIIIKHI. H1116 Slruiclnfr. Iivlill Adu Bll.l,lL't.', fum Mmwfll, Pa!

Baseball The 1945 Baseball Team looked to be the most improved baseball team in many years in G. H. S. when the Oracle went to press. L. A. Duke Miller was again in charge of the team tor the year, He reported that many ot last year's players as well as many new players seemed to make this team look like a very good one. ln a pre-season game the Huskies beat Broadalbin High School 6 to U in a seven in- ning game. The team planned to take part in a three team league with Amsterdarns two high schools and Iohnstown High. The schedule follows: Apr. 24-At Northville Apr. 26-Mayfield, here May l-Northville, here May 3-At Amsterdam May 8-At Mayfield May IUWSL Mary's, here May 15-At Fonda May 17-At Iohnstown May 22-Fonda, here May 24-Amsterdam, here May 28-Broadalbin, here May 3l-At St. Marys lune 5-At Broadalbin Iune 7-Iohnstown, here Football The 1944 Gloversville High School football squad, under the direction of L. A. Duke Miller, carried out one of its heaviest schedules in many years in spite of war time restrictions. The l944 Huskies completed a seven game season, playing against some of the best come petition in this section of the state. The Huskies started their season at home with a well-played 27 to 7 victory over a fast Amsterdam High School eleven. Captain Bill Brown and full back Ding Croucher paced the Gloversville High School team by scoring two touchdowns each. Chuck Richards and Bill Brown played outstanding games on the dee fense. The G. H. S. gridders met Mont Pleasant High School of Schenectady in its second game. Although the Huskies outplayed their oppo- nents, bad breaks and fumbles helped Mont Pleasant High School to come from behind to beak the Huskies 7 to 6. Harry Petrak and Bob Farrell played outstandingly for Gloversville on the defensive play, while Ding Cruocher crashed over the goal line for the Huskies' lone tally. The Huskies came back the following week with a victory over Mechanicville's unbeaten eleven. The G. H. S. backfield came to life after a poor game the week before. lim St. Thomas played a very good offensive game, scoring one touchdown and gaining much yardage. Chuck Richards, right end for the Huskies, caught two end zone passes for touchdowns, completing the scoring and giving the G. H. S. gridders a l9-U victory. Been and Arnold played good defensive games. The following week the G. H. S. gridders took a mid-season rest as no game was scheduled for October 14th. The following week the Huskies met their neighbors and rivals, lohnstown High School, at Knox field, Iohnstown. The G. H. S. backfield and line again failed to function at its peek when needed, and Iohns- town took advantage of its chances to beat the Huskies 7-U. Stefka scored the touchdown for lohnstown, Abel place kicked the point of their score. Al Geraghty was the outstanding G. H. S. player on the defensive play. A letdown in team spirit and offensive play enabled lohnstown again to best the Huskies on Darling field in Gloversville the following week. Colletta, Iohnstown's fleet quarterback, showed up the greater part of the game as the outstanding player of the day. CContinued on page fifty-threel Fur! Rau'-Roherf Farrell.

Girls' Sports lf one happened to be present at the gather- ing of all girls who were going to participate in sports for '44-'45, one would have witnessed an exciting election. Amid applause and shouts from the sidelines, nominations were in order for manager of the Girls' Sports Council. After all votes were cast and counted, it was found that Carolyn Longfritz had been elected man- ager. The girls elected Najla Farhart as assist- ant manager, lean Morrell and Lucy Smith as Senior representatives, Doris Folmsbee and Marie Ackel as lunior representatives, and Anita Nicholson and Zella Haggart from the Sophomore class. The tall season started with softball, man- aged by Lucy Smith and assisted by lean Mor- rell. The two teams, captained by Nalja Far- hart and Marie Ackel, battled furiously every Thursday at Littauer Field. The last game was very decisive as both teams had one win to their credit. At the cry, Batter-up! everyone was tense. ln the final phase of the game with a very close score, Farhart's team surged ahead and came out on top. Nalja Farhart's victorious team includes: Betty Van Steenburg, Iosephine Viscosi, Ruth Brown, Zella Haggart, Ginny Peckham, Iean Morrell, Delores Albrecht, Dot Ziegner and Gladys Keller. fnrly-four Tuesday night found many girls devoting their time to archery. Marie Ackel's team proved to be superior to Farhart's, Fasani's, and Smiths teams. The tournament was en- tered by Marie Ackel, Doris Folmsbee, Virginia Kovarovic, and Phyllis Naish, and won by Marie Ackel. Basketball, the main sport of the winter sea- son, was well managed by Dorothy Ziegner. Everyone was more enthusiastic after a rigor- ous training in gym class this year. Morrell's team succeeded in overpowering Folmsbee's, Farharts, and Smith's teams with six victories and one loss. The sharpshooters on Morrell's team were: Teetz, Baringer, l-laggart, Van Steenburg, A. Nicholson, Graves. Game finals are: Won Lost Morrells ........

In the tournament the three highest were Ruth Fa- sani-l34.5, Marie Ackel-l27, and Delores Al- brecht-l22. On Wednesday night three teams tied for first place-the Merrie Belles, Live Wires, and Gutter Balls, led by Ruth Brown, Nancy Miller, and Zella Haggart respectively. Frances Edick had high single-162, and Anita Ardizzone won high average with l23. The highest in the tournament were: Anita Ardiz- zone and Frances Edick -each l3O.5, Delores Christie-'l3U.U, and Zella Haggart-1275. After the completion of the fall sports, acro- batics, calisthenics, and pyramid drills occu- pied a group of about thirty girls every Tues- day and Thursday. Lucy Smith was the gym teams captain. After this book goes to press, the spring sports, badminton and volleyball, will get under way. lt is expected that many girls will attempt to defeat Carolyn Longfritz and Lucy Smith, who have won the badminton cham- pionship for the last three years. Volleyball also is expected to draw a large crowd, as the girls were given practice in this sport in their gym classes. We hope that next year will prove to be as thrilling and enjoyable as this year has been, and that many girls will aid in making it a suc- cessful year. Best of luck. fofly-five H'-----11--1 , , , dd ' T .1 KA K M1 rf' ' ENEVIBER 45 if forty-eight Band Gloversville can be very proud of its high school band marching in its colorful red and White uniforms.

Dick Shell and Ace Young played good games both on defense and offense. Young Ioe Pangalozzi also played a very outstanding game. The final score was Iohnstown High School 22, Gloversville High School U. The final game of the season was played in Gloversville, November ll. Nott Terrace traveled to Gloversville, only to have the Huskies return to form, Croucher with good blocking by the lines and back field ran off several large gains and crashed over for one touchdown. Dick Shell caught a touch- down pass as well as an extra point pass. A safety early in the game com pleted the scoring as G. H. S. came out the winners, l5-U. Rossi and Gibbons came into the Huskies line-up as starters. The G. H. S. team used many substi- tutions. This victory over Nott Terrace evened up the Schenectady games with the Huskies. Nott Terrace had beaten Mont Pleasant 13-O the week before. This proved that the Huskies had what it takes to win with the right support. An impromptu pep chapel called by the new Superintendent of School, Mr. Painter, aided the team spirit a great deal. Mr. Painter seems to have added the needed spirit and action in the schools to help the team to win. The reason for the comparatively poor show- ing this year compared with other years was the failure of several veterans who held key positions to fulfill their obligations. However, many younger players from the ninth and tenth grades showed a great deal of promise. The 1945 squad will probably take the field with an entirely different spirit. Lefever, Haggart, Silvernail, Rossi, Gibbons, Lalfountain, King, Kennis and Morgan saw lots of action during the season. G40 fifly-llsree BOWLING tContinued from page fortyl two out of three games.
