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.

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
