The secret of success is constancy to purpose.—Disraeli Farewell to Seniors By Mr. Riley Boys and girls of the class of 1927, it is a joy to have this last word with you. It is a joy to see your faces alight with the pride of achievement. You are re- joicing because of the reward that is to be yours for work well accomplished. You have learned part of the lesson of joy in work. No less has it been a pleas- ure for us to aid you in that accomplishment, and no less do we rejoice with you in your victory. It is good to have a part in this little memorial to your life in Gouverneur High School. The sting of friendship lies in the possible severing of its ties. Thus it is that deepest regret comes to us at your leaving after these years of mutual trials and triumphs. We shall miss you from these halls and class rooms. We would have you linger a little, but the road of life stretches clear and bright into the dis- tance, and hurrying clock-hands bid you be on your way. We have no parting advice to give that has not already been given. It mat- ters not what road you follow so long as it is marked with the guide posts of hon- esty, industry and service to your fellow men. Follow these guides and success will crown your days, whether they be spent at the plow handle or in the senate chamber. May whatever qualities you have learned at home or in this school he augmented through your days, is the earnest wish of your faculty, as they bid you god speed.

Class Poem That we may keep a faith that’s fine, That we may feel a love that’s due; That we may become friends worth having, That we may leave our record true: That honor ever grow far dearer, That we act from motives pure, That we may give to following classes A pathway more secure. Lead by the light of understanding, And true to our ideals high, May we reach the highest mountain, Bathed in the glory of a success-lit sky. May our standards never falter, But with courage day by day, Grow more worthy and more gallant Helping others on their way. To our Gold and Royal Purple May we ever be more true, And inspire, purpose higher—, Twenty-Seven—for you! —Dorothy Drury. History of the Class of 1927 By Louise Webster. Generally the history of a class begins with the account of the experiences of the first year in high school, but our records extend as far back as 1914, when twenty-two boys and girls entered the first grade. Fifteen of this number have worked and played together until now, when we are about to be graduated from high school. We look back with satisfaction over the good times we have en- joyed, and with regret when we think of the years of close association and in- timate friendship so soon to be ended. In 1923 we entered high school, some of us in January and others in June. The January class felt quite proud because fourteen out of thirty-four received honor diplomas. As freshmen, we were so awed and subdued by the upper class- men that, although the class was organized, we accomplished little, socially or scholastically. However, in our sophomore year we gave a real Sophomore Hop in the high school gym May 16, 1924. We were all proud of this affair, for the artistic dec- orations of flowers and crepe paper and the tasty refreshments, produced by our own skill and efforts, deserved the praise given by our guests. Page Fourteen Be wisely wordly, but be not zvordly ivise.—Quarles. History of the Class of 1927 (CONTINUED) The next important question to settle was the selection of class rings. Since all the samples considered were attractive, a very difficult problem confroted us. Other classes will have a hard time choosing rings and pins to surpass ours in beauty and workmanship. Our junior year was far more eventful than the preceding ones. Our fac- ulty advisor, Miss Belle Merritt, directed our activities wisely. We selected sev- eral committees to make plans for the annual Junior Prom, held April 15, 1925, in the Temple Hall. The Dansonians furnished fine music, and socially this dance proved to be one of the greatest Prom successes. On June 25, in the high school gym, we gave a reception in honor of the Seniors. After the Senior Class and their advisors had welcomed the guests, all were entertained at a formal dance. Eats were served at midnight and the dancing continued. Members of our class have always won many scholastic honors, and for the last two years have been awarded prizes in the Dean Oratorical Contest. Our present senior class was organized in September, 1926. Carl Boyle was elected president, Dorothy McLean vice president, Marian Chisholm secretary, and Clarence Webster treasurer. Miss Costello and Miss Levis, our senior ad- visors, have always been willing to help and direct us. At the beginning of the year, when we decided to have a senior annual a staff was appointed to make the necessary plans. They have worked tirelessly to put out a book which will surpass any of the former pamphlets or commence- ment numbers which have been issued. We hope that future senior classes will continue the publication of the annual. We chose as our colors rose and white, and as our motto, “We have crossed the harbour, the ocean lies before us.” During this last semester the seniors have delivered in assembly their gradu- ation essays. Although we found the writing, learning and delivering of these long essays difficult, we feel that we have cause to be proud of ourselves, because the choice of topics was original and the treatment of subjects unusual. With the aid of Miss Eleanor Connolly our class staged the clever comedy- drama Green Sockings, in the Gralyn Theatre May 13, 1927. Each member of the carefully chosen cast was well adapted to his part, and the acting and the plot of the play delighted the entire audience. This with the class picnic practically ended the social activities previous to the Commencement Festivities, for the last few weeks were spent in hard study in preparation for regents which, as usual, we looked forward to with uncer- tainty and trepidation. As a class of Gouverneeur High School we have kept rolling the stone which our predecessors handed down to us, and we have tried to hold high the standard of our school. Now, as we are about to leave and enter into the different walks of life, we bid farewell to our teachers, our fellow students, and our class mates of dear old G. H. S. Do not turn back when you are just at the goal.—Publius. Senior Will By Peggy W. Magee. Lynn Appel leaves his drag with Miss Levis and the privilege of wearing her pin to Ralph Laidlaw. Lawrence Babcock leaves his permission to write the thesis Why the Women Love Me to George Boulet. Lyal Bennett bequeaths a schedule of the days that school keeps to Charley Gale so that he will know when to come. Ruth Billings leaves a box of ambition powder, which is guaranteed to wake the deadest person in the world, to Darcy Goodnough. We understand that Doris Bowhall soon will leave the title of Miss. Carl Boyle leaves his mad rushing around to committee meetings” to Hobart Dunkelburg. Harriet Brown leaves her boisterousness to a quiet little girl named Alice Dygert. Robert Carpenter, the real brains of our class, leaves his ability to argue to Louise Millard. George Chisholm leaves, and even offers to buy, Weldon Jones a pair of rubber heels so that he will not disturb the other people who are sleeping in study hall. Marian Chisholm leaves the spirit of the noted Brier Rose to every girl in high school. Marion Colton leaves her seat in chemistry to Edna Covell. Marion Corbin leaves her Delta pin to anyone that can get it away from Mark Graves. Dorothy Drury leaves her line and ability to bluff to Ruth Cox. We hope that Ruth does not use this to hang clothes on. Robert Dygert leaves a private alcove to Forrest and Grace so that they can hold hands without taking up floor space. Bertha Eckmann leaves her ability to be late every morning to anyone in the school at large who can get away with it. Marguerite Geisendoerfer leaves the Green Stockings of the play to the freshmen. We suggest that these be handed down from year to year. George Gingras leaves his pull with Miss Williams to Charles VanDuzee. Don't abuse this by pulling too hard. Marcus Graves leaves his ability as life entertainer to the kindergarten. Through four years Mark has entertained us to the best of his ability and, if anyone can break this record, he may acclaim himself champion. Dorothy Harvey leaves her pair of blinders for eyes to Clara Hockey. The reason that these blinders were given to Stub was because those eyes attracted so much attention. Robert Henderson leaves his own book on How to Hold the Fickle Women to Robert Hampton. Glory follozus virtue as if it were its shadow.—Cicero. Senior Will (CONTINUED) Evelyn Holt leaves for the West.” Good luck, Evelyn in your future life. The best of our wishes are with you. Lloyd Homer leaves his drag with Mr. Riley to George Bush. Consider yourself lucky, George. Frieda Keiser leaves her voice and golden curls to Anna Brown. Margaret Jackson leaves the use of the Ritchie car to Dorothy Ritchie. Ruby June leaves her out of town men to Velma Warner. Ruby has no more use for them. Dean Kaley presents the full rights to be a side-show manager to Douglas Bulger because Douglas has qualified for this. Morris Lee leaves his chemistry apron to anyone that can wear it. If no one can, he gives it to the school at large guaranteeing that it will be placed in the trophy case. Beatrice Leeson leaves her spinstership to the underclassmen. Bertha Littlebrandt leaves her determination to graduate to Lewis Love. Minnetta Love leaves her oratorical ability to Frances Collins. Margaret McGuire leaves all the hard work that she has done in school and never been thanked for to any one who appreciates what she has done and who is crazy enough to continue it. Dorothy McLean leaves her secret of success and her winning ways to the whole school at large. We are sure that there is no one who does not need a drag. Eleanor Manning leaves her mathematical ability to Archie Murray. Glenn Miller leaves his ability to say things and get away with it to Freddy Grinnell. It is a great opportunity. Beulah Mullen leaves her leadership of the Deltas to the girl who is fine enough to accomplish as much as Beulah has. Marline Murphy leaves her dates with Dodo Homer’s men to Marion Free- man. Marion Overacker leaves the trials of leading the basketball team to anyone that accepts the task. Marion Randall leaves her good influence on the school. Frances Scurrah leaves her wonderful marks to Louis Saidel. Kenneth Smith leaves his popularity to Nelson Winters. Ken has reigned as our class athlete, and we are proud of his reputation. Paul Smith leaves his so-called drag with the girls to Lester Collins, hoping that he will find out that they really don’t bite. Marjorie Streeter leaves her position as school pianist to Dorothy Cox. Blanche Tait leaves her dignity to Eva Wright. Marion Taylor leaves her ability and talent to the students of Miss Costello’s English Class—they need it. 1927 Page Seventeen Nothing great was ever achieved without enthusiasm.—Emerson Senior Will (CONTINUED) Clarence Webster leaves his ability to write love stories and add fictitious names to Albert Elliott. Marjorie Webster leaves some of her musical ability to the Junior String Orchestra. Louise Webster leaves her ability to hold a man to Doris Homer. Alice Wight leaves fond remembrances of her battles with Caesar to all sophs who are foolish enough to take it. We now sign, seal, publish and declare this to be our last will and testament, in the presence of us, who at the last request of the Senior Class of ’27, do sub- scribe our names as witnesses hereto. Senior Prophecy By Paul Smith. Gouverneur, New York, June 30, 1933. Dear Clarence, Well, here I am back in Gouverneur after six years of schooling and exper- ience. Many of the old classmates of ’27 are in town to spend their vacations. I have heard directly from many and indirectly from the rest. What a change has come about in the old crowd! I returned last Sunday. The first person I saw was Robert Dygert. He is now night policeman. Don’t you think he would make a good one ? He told me that Glenn Miller and Kenneth Smith, his brothers in athletics, are now in Wa- tertown managing Devendorf’s garage. Ruby June and Doris Bowhall are both married to Clinton County farmers. Lawrence Babcock is now general manager of all athletics in Hobart College. Lewis Love took an Independence Corre- spondence Course and is now Joke Editor of College Humor. Lewis has made great success in the commercial world. Dorothy Harvey is married and is liv- ing in Gouverneur. She has joined the staff of the Northern Tribune by writ- ing advice to love-sick children. Robert Carpenter is an advertising agent rep- resenting “The candy mint with the hole”. Marcus Graves is following in his fathers’ footsteps with the slogan When better cars are built”. Marjorie Street- er completed her course in Boston and is now director of music in the Parish- ville High School. Louise Webster has gone to the farm as Mrs. Johnson. Margaret McGuire and Marian Chisholm, who are prominent social service workers in New York, are traveling in Europe and the surrounding islands show- ing the need of bigger and better clubs. Harriet Brown and Bertha Eckmann are conducting a nationally known girls’ school on Black Lake. Bob told me of his trip to New York, where he saw Marguerite Geisendoerfer and Marion Corbin, who are dancing in the Follies. Last year they made a tour of this country and the South Sea Islands. Minnetta Love and Blanche Tait The first years of man must make provision for the last.—Johnson. Senior Prophecy (CONTINUED) conduct a Fanny Farmer chocolate shop in Des Moines, Iowa. Marline Murphy, has gone to the Canadian wheat country where she is practicing dentistry. I can’t imagine why she went there. George Chisholm is accompanying Robert Hen- derson on a lecture tour to raise money for a Boy Scout drive. George is Bob’s manager. Bertha Littlebrant is still on the farm and has come into the limelight as a poultry producer. Mr. and Mrs. Lynn Appel are now living at Cornwall- on-Hudson. Do you remember how we used to kid her about apples when she was Dorothy Drury. She is now teaching psychology as a side line. Lyle Bennett is tackle on the Colgate football team. Ruth Billings has completed a course in chemistry and is now chief dietitian in the North Gouverneur schools. Carl Boyle has gone to Ohio, where he manages a wholesale cabbage business. Mar- ion Colton has gone back to Oswegatchie, where she married the train dispatcher. George Gingras has gone to New York to take a course in salesmanship. Evelyn Holt has gone West with her man. Lloyd Homer and Ryland Jones have started a teachers’ agency in Springfield, Mass. It is generally reported that they are doing real well in handling teachers. Margaret Jackson is married and has gone into partnership with her brother at 3 Main street. Dean Kaley has finished a course in math and is now teaching the savages in Ceylon to do originals in spherical trigonometry. Do you remember how Frieda Keiser could sing? She is now in the Chicago Civic Opera, taking a lead in the same opera which made Dorothy McLean fa- mous two years ago. Morris Lee is now married and operates his father’s farm in Macomb. Beatrice Leeson is married to a farmer who wras not in our class of ’27. Peggy Magee went back to New York and became a model. Eleanor Manning and Beulah Mullin have opened a grocery in town. They are both married. Marion Overacker and Marion Randall are both on the farms. Mar- ion Randall is head of the St. Lawrence County Home Bureau. Frances Scurrah is principal of the school in York. Alice Wight is married and lives in Utica where she is associated with the gas works. Marjorie Webster is now studying in Dresden. She made great successes in this country. I met Marion Taylor on the street and she has been traveling for a producing company this year. Last year she taught English in Ogdensburg. I am glad to hear that you have made a success in the newspaper world. There are big chances in Cleveland. After I stay here a week, I am going home to Buffalo. Did you know that I am in the offices of the Ford Motor Company in that city? In closing I will only ask that you don’t forget the old classmates of ’27. Yours for always, PAUL SMITH. JUNIOR CLASS SOPHOMORE CLASS freshman a class FRESHMAN B CLASS SNAPSHOTS FOOT R AI I TCAM TRACK TEAM The ivorld. is sore in need of men who can do things.—Hubbard. Football Every football season is a success in the eyes of its admirers. There is no use of repeating the fact in connection with our 1926 season, which will always be remembered as an eventful one in the athletic annals of the school. Although we did not win the championship, the goal of every team, our eleven fought hard and that is what makes glory in defeat. The material was inexperienced, two letter men playing regularly, but never- theless, it won three out of five games on the schedule, and tied Malone, the sec- tional champions. As especially noteworthy, we might mention the work of Captain Smith at quarterback and Captains-elect Goodnough and Bennett on the line, but we had no stars, just eleven good men. Much of the success of the team is due to Coach Seybolt, whose hard efforts resulted in our creditable record. Those who were awarded varsity letters are as follows: Captain Smith, Cap' tains-elect Goodnough and Bennett, B. Hayden, M. Hayden, Gardner, Draper, Turnbull, Carpenter, McCullouch, Byrns, Boyle, Homer and Manager Webster. Prospects for the coming season are exceptionally good, with nine letter men returning and a wealth of material on hand. The season’s schedule and results are as follows: Malone 6, G. H. S. 6; Potsdam o, G. H. S. 13; Massena o, G. H. S. 6; Canton o, G. H. S., 32; O. F. A. 19, G. H. S. 6. Track G. H. S. has seldom been more successful in track than it was in 1926. Win- ning four cups including the interscholastics at Canton and the Manlius Relay at Manlius, is a record of which any school should be justly proud. It was the first time in many years that the Purple and Gold had won both the Interschol- astic cup and the Van Dusen Memorial. The first victory of the season was with O. F. A. and Potsdam at Ogdensburg. Gouverneur placed in every event and finished 21 points ahead of O. F. A., its nearest opponent. The following Saturday the team participated in the Van Dusen games with O. F. A., Canton, Potsdam, Massena and Malone. The final score was close, with Malone two points behind us. Our next victory was at Canton in the sectional contest with sixteen other contestants. Again the team nosed out Franklin Academy of Malone, and won the coveted cup. The final honors came the first week in June when our relay team defeated the best in the state at Ithaca. We also placed in the pole vault and the high jump. The team had a point getter in every event, but we were especially success- ful in the high jump, pole vault and the dashes. It was a track team to copy after, a team that fought to the last and won. Coach Graf, in his last try at Gouverneur athletics, covered himself and his pro- tegees with a glory that will long be remembered. —Clarence Webster. A sound mind in a sound body is a thing to pray for.—Juvenal. The boys’ basketball team had a fairly successful season, winning six games and losing the same number. With the exception of Malone, the champions, we beat every team in the league once out of the two games played. Although we had a veteran quintet, we faced much more difficult competi- tion, and it was not until the last half of our schedule that we seemed to play the basketball of which we were capable. After the mid-year examinations a great many more men reported. Their fighting spirit encouraged the varsity to play a better game. The prospects for next year are bright. Only one man will be lost by grad- uation, and with the aid of Coach Seybolt, we are confident that a winning five will represent the school for the year ig2y-’28. Those receiving block letters were Captain Murray, Miller, Smith, Dygert, Carpenter and Webster. Murray was high scorer, with 56 points. The scor- ing ability of the team is as follows: Murray 56, Smith 44, Dygert 40, Miller 28, Webster 9, Carpenter 5. The results of the games on our schedule are as follows; Ogdensburg 15, G. H. S. 16; Malone 15, G. H. S. 7; Potsdam 22, G. H. S. 12; Norwood 9, G. H. S. 14 ; Massena 39, G. H. S. 16; Canton 9, G. H. S. 20; Ogdensburg 3, G. H. S. 19; Potsdam, 15, G. H. S. 18; Malone 12, G, H. S. 10; Norwood 10, G. H. S. 9; Canton 25, G. H. S. 20. The Girls’ Athletic Association was satisfactorily organized and financed, through the co-operation of the student body. In the fall the members of the girls’ basketball squad raised money by selling balloons and armbands at all the home football games. Throughout the winter the proceeds from the sale of choc- olate bars in the gymnasium, supported the team, and bought purple and gold suits for the first seven players. The girls’ games were fast and exciting, and the season was successful. The playing of Gates at forward was sensational, but all the team played creditable basketball. They held Canton, the champions, to six points, and scored seventy- four points to their opponents’ sixty-four. The following were awarded varsity letters: Captain Overacker, Gates, Downey, June, Dygert, Magee. The schedule was as follows: Massena 8, G. H. S. 11; Canton 17, G. H. S. n ; O. F. A. 12, G. H. S. 7; Potsdam 5, G. H. S. 10; Malone 14, G. H. S. 9; Norwood 5, G. H. S. 26. Page Twenty-nine 4 GIRLS’ BASKETBALL Honor lies in honest toil.—Grover Cleveland.

Minerva Society In 1895 the Minerva Literary Society was founded by a group of girl stu- dents of the Gouverneur Wesleyan Seminary, for the purpose of cultivating the study of literature and public speaking. Not long afterwards the organization broke up. Until 1914 the society was non-existant, but in that year it was re- organized, the constitution revised, and the present society brought into being. During the past thirteen years the society has proved a source of experience and entertainment for its members, and often has been of aid to the rest of the school. The work of interested advisors and officers, as well as the co-operation of its members has helped the society to reach its present standing in G. H. S. OFFICERS President, Marian Chisholm Vice President .. Harriet Brown Treasurer, Marguerite Geisendoerfer Secretary ..... Helen Laidlaw Chaplain .................. Ruth Cox ADVISORS Miss Purdy Miss Levis —Marguerite Geisendoerfer. Amphictyon Society After the formation of a Boys’ Mandolin Club, it occurred to the members that they needed a literary society in the high school. Ward Dalton, head of the Mandolin Club, appointed a committee of five members to see what could be done. They met and drew up a constitution, which was presented to the Board of Education. The Board approved it and thus the Amphictyon Literary Society was established in the Gouverneur High School, March 7, 1913. OFFICERS OF i926-’27 President ............... Vice President . ........

S., was or- ganized June i, 1898. From then until the present time, it has been active in school affairs. The programs, which occur every other week, are social as well as literary, and, as a result, much benefit is derived from them. By a new amendment added to the constitution in June, 1926, the officers are elected annually instead of semi-annually as was the custom at the beginning of its organization. The number of the active members varies from year to year, there being at present forty. The Misses Ann Connolly and Onna Maloney have proven very helpful in- structors as well as advisors, and the Deltas wish to thank these teachers for their interest in the society. The present officers include: President, Beulah Mullin; Vice-President, Frieda Keiser; Secretary, Mary Gates ; Treasurer, Marion Corbin; Chaplain, Erma Vaile. —Beulah Mullin. Athenian Society The Athenian Literary Society was formed in the early 8o’s. At that time it was much smaller than now, and the faculty of the school were all honorary members. It was purely a high school organization under the general supervision of the faculty. The society increased from year to year, all alumni members be- coming honorary members. The society has never at any time ceased to hold meet- ings, and was the first society of its kind in Gouverneur. An interesting fact about this club is that the present purple and gold colors of the Gouverneur High School were formerly those of the Athenian Literary Society. The members have held an annual Christmas formal, which has always been one of the gala events of the year, and to which everyone has always looked forward. This year the society held its first meeting on the sixteenth of September, at which time the following officers were elected: President . . . Clarence Webster Secretary Kenneth Smith Vice President....Paul Smith Treasurer . . . Murray Turnbull Chaplain ......... George Bush Meetings have been held regularly throughout the year, and during Easter vacation a reunion of the society was held in the form of a banquet in the St. Lawrence Inn. Many of the old alumni were present and delivered speeches. —Paul Smith. ATHENIAN SOCIETY Live truly, and thy life shall be a great and noble creed.—Bonar. Girls’ Glee Club A High School Glee Club is of vast importance to its members because it teaches music appreciation at the most impressionable age. The spark of true appreciation, having been kindled, is sure to grow until the love of beautiful music is the result. Miss Kysor, who stayed with us only a half year, laid the foundation for that music appreciation which is characteristic in most of the members of the Glee Club today. Miss Hall, who has been with us for five years, magnified and developed the tiny flame of enthusiasm kindled by Miss Kysor. The first of the operettas was Wind Mills of Holland, with a large chorus from the Girls’ Glee Club. This delightful production was directed by Miss Hall and Miss Whitaker. Te following year Love Pirates of Hazvaii was produced, which also included a large chorus from the Girls’ Glee Club. This year another large operetta, The Toreadors, conducted by Miss Hall and Miss Connolly, was successfully presented in the Gralyn Theatre. Since its organization, the Girls’ Glee Club has sung at every important school entertainment and even at large Masonic celebrations. This year the Glee Club is preparing to compete in a state contest at Lake Placid and for the first time in its history the girls are having uniforms. The contest at Lake Placid includes the Glee Clubs from the schools of Northern New York. Little Orphant Annie, by Thomas, selected by Miss Hall, and Oh, Danny Boy, by Weatherby, chosen for all of the Glee Clubs, are being prepared for this contest. Both pieces require a great deal of expression and in this way are very difficult. The girls are all working hard to win at Lake Placid for the honor of Alma Mater. —Marjorie Webster. The Purple and Gold At the beginning of the 1926 term a vote was taken among the students as to whether the school continue the monthly publication of the Echo, or issue a small weekly paper. The latter plan was finally adopted, and the name The Purple and Gold was given to the new publication. This proved a great success, but in March the Science Club wished to edit a paper; therefore, the staff of the Purple and Gold co-operated with this organization and issued a larger weekly paper which was printed at the Northern Tribune office. By changing from our Echo to a less expensive paper we were able to finance and publish the Senior Annual. —Margaret McGuire. Page Forty- AGRICULTURAL CLUB I would help others out of a fellow-feeling.—Burton Science Club Sixty-eight student members of the newly organized Science Club met in the auditorium of the Gouverneur High School, November i, 1926, to adopt the constitution and elect the club officers. The meeting was presided over by Mr. Everett Priest, our able instructor in chemistry and physics. The first question to consider was the adoption of the constitution, which was read and approved. The following officers were elected: President, Lloyd Homer; vice president, Darcy Goodnough; secretary, Dorothy Drury; treasurer, Edna Coveil. Then a brief talk was delivered by Dr. Harris of St. Lawrence University. The meetings of the Science Club, which have been held on the first and third Mondays of each month, have demonstrated our efforts to gain our purpose, which is to stimulate interest in science and to relate theory to industry. Our goal is being reached through our success in obtaining speakers from the scientific and commercial world. Our speakers’ program includes such names as Professor Ward Priest, and Dr. Harris of St. Lawrence University; Professor Powers of Clarkson; Dr. Dearborn of the U. S. Biological Survey; Mr. Jenks of Carthage; Mr. Ball of Massena and representatives of various well known electrical com- panies of the United States. The above aim is being accomplished by means of the motion picture machine which we have purchased. With the aid of this machine we have been able to show the principles of electrical, radio and industrial theories and operations. The money used in purchasing this machine we raised in three ways, namely: benefits received from the movie, The Bat”, candy sales, and dues from the members of the club. Our latest endeavor is to sponsor the publication of a school paper, which will be successful if we receive the same willing support from the students and townspeople that we have received in our past enterprises. Minnetta Love obtained not only fame for herself but also for G. H. S., when, on April 7, she won first place in the Times’ Contest, held at Ogdensburg. She competed against four other contestants, from O. F. A., St. Mary’s Academy, Potsdam and Canton. The essays delivered were original and Minnetta not on- ly showed oratorical ability, but literary genius as well. As winner of this con- test, Miss Love spoke at Watertown April 29. Although she spoke exceptionally well, she lost to Daniel Williams of Fulton. However the students extend Min- netta their sincere congratulations for being able to represent her school and county at Watertown. Lloyd Homer. Times Contest -—Margaret McGuire. Do good by stealth and blush to find it fame.—Pope. The Agricultural Club The Agricultural Club of Gouverneur High School was formed January 12, 1927, for the purpose of making more effective the welfare and prosperity of agriculture in the vicinity of Gouverneur. It teaches the members how to conduct meetings and become agricultural leaders in their respective communities. There are three kinds of members, ac- tive, associate and preparatory. The active members are those who are en- rolled students in the Agricultural Department of the high school. The as- sociate members are those who have taken one year or more of agriculture and the preparatory members are those who are doing some form of junior project work. April 14th, there are eighteen active members and six associates. This organ- ization belongs to the State Association of Agricultural Clubs. The officers for the ensuing year are: President ....... Wendall Wicks Secretary Lyle Raven Vice President . . Carrol Puffer Treasurer .... Don Huddleston: The Senior Class of G. H. S. is certainly not superstitious. It presented the play Green Stockings, Friday, May 13. Much time and study were put on the play making it one of the best ever presented in Northern New York. Not only did the characters and instructor, Miss Eleanor Connolly, work hard, but also the other members of the class exerted every effort to make the 1927 play the best and the most successful in the history of Gouverneur High School. Great carefulness and deliberation were used in choosing the cast, but, fin- ally, it was agreed that the following were the most talented members of the class.

SENIOR PLAY Let knowledge grow from more to more.—Tennyson. Dean Oratorical Contest The annual Dean Oratorical Contest of 1927 was held April 8, in the audit- orium of the high school. Out of 53 contestants, the following ten were chosen, and presented the following program: Selection, Junior Orchestra; Laddie, Beulah Mullin; The Art of Optimism, Robert Hazelton; Selections, Frieda Rei- ser: Old Glory Bill, Roswell Perrin; Glory of the Morning, Marion Corbin; Na- ture’s Lullaby, Male Quartet; Unknown, Dean Kaley; What William Henry Did. Wilhelmina Magee; The Perfect Tribute, Ralph McCullouch; Brier Rose, Marian Chisholm; The Constitution, Robert Henderson: Cantata—A Mother Goose Arabesque, Girls’ Glee Club. Great credit is due Miss Eleanor Connolly, the instructor in elocution, as each selection showed careful and especial training. Each one gave his selection so well that it was a difficult task to choose the winner, but the judges finally decided in favor of Marian Chisholm and Ralph McCullouch for the first prizes; while Marion Corbin and Dean Kaley carried off the second honors. The stage was decorated with red and white carnations furnished by the four literary societies, and the furniture was obtained through the courtesy of Sev- erance Brothers and Erwin Cox. The program, which was considered the best from every viewpoint, was wit- nessed by the largest audience ever in attendance at such a contest in Gouver- neur. The hearty applause proved the appreciation of the audience and the ap- proval of the judge’s decision regarding the prizes. The students are proud to have this contest written down in the history of G. H. S. —Margaret McGuire. Prize Contests We ere proud to have our school represented this year not only in the Beard and Dezell contests, but also in the Remington Prize Essay Contest. On May 13, Roswell Perrin took part in the Beard Contest for boys at Canton, and on May 20, Marian Chisholm, participated in the Dezell Contest, also held at Canton. Rertha Eckmann won a prize of ten dollars given by the Northern New York Federation of Women’s Clubs for the best essay on the life of Frederick Rem- ington. The prize of two dollars and a half offered by the staff for the best name for the annual was awarded to Marion Taylor, who contributed the name The Deanonian.---------------------------------------- Senior Honors We are glad to congratulate our classmates who have received the highest honors.
