Chorus Then her praises we will sing, ’Till the echoes ’round us ring, And we’ll sing them with a will forever more, For we’re singing of the glories Of our dear old G. H. S., May they echo from the mountains to the shore. We shall meet both pain and pleasure In this world of care and woe, But we’ll conquer every foe along our way, And our lives will be the stronger For the trials of long ago, Which we met with in our dear old high school days. When we are set adrifting On the world’s cold, dreary tide, And the evening shadows gently o’er us roll, We will like to sit and think about The sons we stood beside, When we struggled for the purple and the gold.

Farewell to Seniors The chief aim of your life thus far has been to acquire an education. In doing so you have, no doubt, found the work most laborious and exacting, but there is no time in life so fascinating as the student day. Webster has well said, “The mind is the lever of all things.” You have been enriching that great storehouse of knowledge when properly trained. I advise you to continue to study; do not let the mind rust; take an active interest in educational affairs. Remember that the most serviceable of all assets is reputation. When you once have it and can maintain it, it works for you continuously without inter- ruption. It differs from money. It cannot be bought or sold. It is personal. No amount of knowledge can acquire it. It is priceless. Work will not hurt you. Worry may destroy you. Have ideals. Keep them before you. They are the inspirations of life. Have confidence in your fellow men. Confidence begets confidence. Be in the van rather than in the rear. Take an active interest in every movement in the community. In the words of the poet Coleridge: “Farewell, farewell, but this I tell To thee, thou Wedding-Guest! He prayeth well, who loveth well Both man and bird and beast. “He prayeth best, who loveth best All things both great and small; For the dear God who loveth us, He made and loveth all.” James C. Dolan.

Amphictyon; Transferred from Detroit in 1926; Science Club 2, 3; Op- eretta 3; Boys’ Glee Club 4. A Pair of Sixes 4.

Lefty starred on the bas- ketball court, and his hap- py-go-lucky smile shows that his Love and he are on the best of terms. HENRY CARPENTER Academic. Athenian ; Henry, a bashful lad, made up for his reticence with a winning smile, which attracted an Edwards lass. | 3 1............................ miiiiiiiiiiuiiHiiiiiiiiiiniiiiini LESTER COLLINS Academic.

They say that Let had planned to sell Whippets after his graduation; now the agency has changed, and he no longer cherishes that old ambition. However, the ability he displayed in high school assures him of suc- cess in any vocation he may choose. HAROLD CROSS Aldrich Scholarship Prize 2; Science Club 3; Outing Club 3; Debate Team 4; Valedictorian.

Transferred from Lovvville 4. Jessie did not come to G. H. S. until late in our senior year. Nevertheless, because of her gentle man- ners, and her keen intellect, we proudly number her among our classmates, and claim her as a friend. WELDON JONES Academic. Transferred from Watertown 3; Science Club 3, 4; Delta-Athenian play 4; Football 4; Basket- ball 4.

WORTH PHILLIPS Academic. Transferred from Richville 1927; Base- ball 3; Science Club 3.

Amphictyon; Chorus 1, 2, 3, 4; Glee Club 2, 3; Operetta 2, 3; Outing Club 3; Manager Basketball 4.

It would have been better had we all planned so well. JAMES SCOTT Academic. Athenian ; Treasurer of Athenians 4; Football 4. Judging by the talent that he displayed in The Boy Will, we thought that Jim- mie would become a second Ramon Navarro. MARION SMITH Academic. Delta; Science Club 2, 3. “Deeds not words” is Marion’s motto. She was always on hand when there was work to be done in G. H. S., and we wonder who will fill her place next year.

Physical Training Exhibition; Biol- ogy Club 1; Assistant Man- ager of Football 2; Manager of Football 3; Outing Club 3.

For such a little girl she is kept pretty busy, but with Canton so far away why shouldn’t she be more interested in her work? EDNA WAIN WRIGHT Academic. Science Club 3. If we all possessed Edna’s shyness and aloofness, what a quiet place G. H. S. would have been during the past four years. VELMA WARNER Academic. Transferred from Canton 1; Chorus 1, 2; Glee Club 1, 2, 3, 4; Op- eretta 1, 2, 3; Outing Club 3 Secretary R. B. E. 3, 4. Velma is always in the right place at the wrong time.

(Mass fluent It was not so many moons ago, In a school where few can play, That some Seniors worked—as they must, you know— In the most assiduous way; And these Seniors lived with no other thought Than to pass on Commencement Day! They were so great, and they were so straight, In that school, where all are gay; And they worked with a zeal only Seniors feel, These brave Seniors, every day; With such zeal that all students in our school Did envy them, they say. I ■ s = = s s = And that was the reason, some days ago, In this school, near the close of May The Powers That Be said, “This class must go— They are far too wise to stay; There is nothing more for them left to know— They must pass on Commencement Day.” Page Sixteen iiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiim iiiiiiiiiuiiiu... mi.................................mi.iiniimiiiiiiiiiii.......................... min........ “Making poetry is practicing the language of the spirit.”—Dante. Class Poem (CONTINUED) Underclassmen, not half so wise, of course, Were envying them each one; And that is the reason (there may be worse, But from this cause it begun) That the Powers That Be moved, with mighty force. That their High School work was done. But the moon never beams without bringing them dreams Of the wonderful students they are, And the stars never rise but they think just how wise They have been to have climbed up so far; And so all the night-time, they still dream in their pride Of their greatness—such greatness as no class beside Ever reached in its life-time, they say, In our High School, until this day. When the school’s last lesson is mastered, And the classes are tested and tried, When the laziest student has vanished, And the dullest has stepped aside, We shall rest—and, faith, we all need it— We shall stop for a moment or two, Till the wonderful School of Experience Shall set us to work anew. Then those well prepared shall be happy, They shall go to life’s higher grade; They shall face the world’s mighty problems With countenances unafraid; They shall pass through each test as they meet it At the sound of Duty’s call; They shall work every day, for most have to— And never be tired at all. And only the big world shall praise us, And only the big world shall blame, As we work for the joy of the winning, And climb up the pathway to fame; For each in his separate calling, His separate thought must express, While he follows the gleam, as he sees it, To the goal that for him means success.

Class History Twelve years ago, under the capable guidance of Miss Mae Poole, eight members of the Class of ’29 began together their eager quest of knowledge. Other boys and girls joined this group until, in 1925 when we entered high school, our class included forty members. At once we became the target for the slams and ridicule of the upperclassmen. Together with the Freshmen who arrived the following January, we chose as our officers Douglas Frazier, President; Lucille LeRoy, Vice-President; Wal- ter Green, Secretary; and Donald Sprague, Treasurer. Mrs. Dodds and Mr. Brown, who also entered G. H. S. with the Class of ’29, acted as faculty advisers. The remainder of our first year passed uneventfully. Only one important happening occurred during our Sophomore year. With Kathryn Farmer as president, we selected the rings which each Senior now wears. We shall always remember the many things we accomplished during our Junior year. Early in February committees were appointed to prepare for the Washington Party, a novel entertainment suggested by Mr. Brown. The various groups performed their duties so well that the Juniors won the silver cup award- ed to the class that had the most artistically decorated table. We next began to plan for the Prom which most of us eagerly anticipated. However, after much discussion, we decided to have a senior reception rather than the annual dance. We are indeed proud of the reception, which proved a great success. Yellow and white flowers, evergreens, wicker furniture, and yellow-shaded lamps transformed the usually bleak gymnasium, with which we were familiar, into a cozy, colorful, reception hall. After the Class Night Exercises and the formal reception the guests danced until eleven-thirty, when delightful refresh- ments were served. We attribute the success of this entertainment to the efforts of our president, Hobert Dunkelberg and to the assistance of Miss Maloney, the class adviser. Last fall the present Senior Class elected the following officers: Hobert Dunkelberg, Eva Wright, Ruth Cox, and Paul Mosher. We solved our first problem, lack of finances, by selling Christmas cards, and thus raising fifty dollars. Next came Senior Essays, the horror of every member of our class. Each senior has written, learned, and heroically spoken before the assembly an essay on some subject of present-day interest. In the early part of the last semester, we chose as our advisers Miss Maloney, Miss Costello, and Mr. Riley. Immediately after the Washington party, the staff of the Deanonian was selected. Since then they have solicited advertisements and prepared the material for the Senior Annual. Although we were disappointed at not being able to have our Senior Play at the Gralyn Theatre, we were greatly pleased with the performance and with the high school stage, which had undergone extensive improvements. In accordance with the custom inaugurated last year, ten of our classmates competed in the Senior Essay Contest which marked the end of our activities (CONTINUED ON PAGE 61) Page Eighteen “No legacy is so rich as honesty.”—Shakespeare. Senior Will BY JAMES SCOTT AND EVA WRIGHT We, the Class of 1929 of Gouverneur High School, being of sound and dis- posing mind and memory, and mindful of the brief time left us, and intending to dispose of all our property of whatsoever kind and nature upon our departure hence, do hereby make, publish, and declare this our last will and testament in manner and form following: First—We leave to our faculty and other friends our sincere appreciation of their cooperation with us in our school work and in other activities. Especially do we thank the following: 1. Mr. Brown, our superintendent, for his splendid leadership. 2. Mr. Riley, for his assistance in managing the financial affairs of the Class. 3. Miss Maloney, for her interest and efficient assistance during the two years she has acted as class adviser. 4. Miss Connolly, for coaching the Senior Play. 5. Miss Costello, for her valuable aid in editing the annual, and for her advice in other matters. Second—Harry Barbery leaves to Frances Fox his ability to act as understudy for Mr. Emmanuel from Mesopotamia. Third—George Boulet leaves an essay IVhy the Faculty Fell For Me to his brother; guaranteed to surprise even the faculty. Fourth—Bethany Bowhall leaves the Richville Road to anyone else in search of an education. Fifth—Anna Brown leaves the memory of her cheerful smile to brighten up G. H. S. Sixth—Glenn Brown leaves his megaphone to Mr. Riley, in order that the dead line may hear him. Seventh—Donald Bulger leaves to Albert Elliott his unexcelled ability to pick a quarrel. Eighth—Edward Burr leaves to Don Sprague his masterpiece, Why Blonds Prefer Blondes. Ninth—George Bush leaves to Ralph Johnston his record of champion long- distance walker.

Track Although our track season was not successful, Coach Seybolt did as much as could be expected with the material on hand, for there were only two letter men remaining from the 1927 team. Bernard Hayden represented section Six in the pole vault at Cornell where he gained a tie for second place. The letter men included Captain Bernard Hayden, Raymond Hayden, Ralph McCullouch, and Manager Edward Aldrich. Handicapped by lack of suitable material, the track team of 1929, neverthe- less, worked hard in order to win a place in the four meets held successively at Ogdensburg, Malone, Ogdensburg, and Canton. Bush and Merritt, who made fairly good showings in both the high jump and the pole vault, also ran the 100-yard dash, along with McCullouch and Gregory Clark. Shinnock, Storie, and Perrin ran the mile, and Robert Clark put the shot. Ralph McCullouch. Page Thirty-two ’Jis late before the brave despair.”—Compson. Football When football practice began a week before the opening of school, we had prospects for a very good team, for thirty-five boys reported. In our first game, with Watertown, G. H. S. made a fair showing. Then came the league contests, Massena handed us a 55 to o defeat on our home field. The next week Canton played in Gouverneur, and again our boys failed to win. About this time the squad became weaker as the result of the loss of several men who discontinued practice. We suffered defeat in the next two games; one with Ogdensburg, the other with Malone. The week after Malone’s victory, all but about fifteen of our boys decided to give up football for the year. With only short workouts, the remaining players determined to win over Potsdam in the last league con- test. The score in this game was 9 to 6, in favor of Gouverneur. Although our boys had a very unsuccessful season, those players who con- tinued to report for practice, in spite of our hard luck, deserve a great deal of sincere praise. I he letter men were: Captain McCullouch, Captain-elect Collins, Bush, Carpenter, Graves, Johnson, Sprague, Elliott, Huntley, Pickert, Perrin, Temple, Goodison, Saidel, and Manager Hazelton. Dixson Carpenter. Illlllllllllllli Page Thirty-three BASKETBALL TEAM E Boys’ Basketball Even though the Gouverneur High School team failed to qualify for the championship game, it had a most successful year. At the end of the first half of the season, our boys had won three games and lost three. At this time, Carlton Seybolt, who for two years and a half had been our athletic director, accepted a position in Syracuse. Our team would have suffered seriously from this loss had not Stanley Restle, his suc- cessor, proved to be a coach of great ability, capable of his position. From January on, the team achieved great success. G. H. S. won five out of the six games played, and hoped to oppose Malone in the Championship. However, during the second half of the season Massena had scored more points than Gouverneur and nosed us out of the final contest. We have reconciled our- selves to this great disappointment by recalling the fact that our boys twice defeated Malone, the League Champion. We are eagerly looking forward to another season when, we hope, our team will win even greater success than it has won during 1928 and 1929. At this time the members of the team wish to express their appreciation of the loyal cooperation manifested by the boys of the second team. They wish to thank Mr. Restle not only for his work as coach, but also for the fine fighting spirit with which he inspired them. At the close of the season, when seven members of the squad, including Bush, Carpenter, Collins, Mosher, Perrin, Price, and Manager F. Price, received their block letters, the Minerva Society presented them with sweaters. High scorers for this year were Glenn Price with 82 points, and Dick Carpenter with 44 points. Dixson Carpenter. Page Thirty-five “No one is happy if he does not work.”—Roosevelt. Girls’ Basketball During the past season, the girls’ basketball five won only two of the six hard-fought games in which they competed. Our team was rather handicapped, for the large squad of girls that reported for practice included only one of last year’s line-up. However, the new players worked faithfully and deserve much credit for their effort. They should feel that they had a successful season, since, in two of the four games lost, they were defeated by only one point. As only two of the team are being graduated this year, the remaining players hope for great success during 1929 and 1930. Alice Dygert, forward and cap- tain, was high scorer with 61 points. Grace Hillis, with 12 points, was second. The following received the varsity insignia as a reward for their playing: Captain Alice Dygert, Grace Downey, Grace Hillis, Doris Love, Florence Over- acker, Eva Rickerson, and Manager Phyllis Dygert.

Pane Tliirly-si.r “Baseball is a grand sport, and I am proud of it.”—Doherty. Although in the spring of 1928 we had only a few experienced baseball players, the Gouverneur High School team succeeded in winning two out of three games played. With Mr. Brown and Mr. Riley acting as coaches, the boys built up a team which could offer any high school nine a real battle. Those who took part in the games were: D. Sprague, J. Huntley, G. Bush, M. Priest, G. Price, B. Saidel, N. Pickert, R. Johnson, A. Murray, R. Dygert, M. Lashure, R. McCul- louch, R. Merriman, and Worth Phillips. I11 spite of a delay in starting practice in 1929, due to weather conditions, Coach Restle developed an excellent team. Games were arranged with Edwards, Antwerp, Sacket Harbor, Massena, Theresa, and Alexandria Bay. The players were: N. Pickert, M. Lashure, C. Gale, M. Priest, J. Huntley, M. Graves, C. Alger, G. Jardine, W. Phillips, A. Elliott, R. Johnson, and B. Saidel. 5 Edwards G. H. S 6 Antwerp O 12 Antwerp . O G. H. S 5 Massena 2 0 Sacket Harbor. . 16 G. H. S 4 Massena 3 5 Edwards • 9 G. H.

Delta Kappa Delta Our advisers, Miss Deuel and Miss Weller, have cooperated with the mem- bers of the Delta Society to make this year one of the most successful in the, history of the organization. By participating in various literary, social, and scholastic activities, we have contributed to the welfare of our school and of pur community. On Tag Day, November 6, 1928, the members of the Minerva and Delta Societies, working together, raised $225 toward the establishment and mainte- nance of a Municipal Playground. At the close of the football season, in appreciation of the boys’ hard work and perseverance, we presented the members of the team and their manager, with gold football charms. On March 18, we entertained the basketball letter- men at a turkey dinner, at which Mr. Restle proved himself a clever toastmaster. Aside from our regular social meetings, we gave two large parties, one at Christmas time for the members of the Athenian Society, and another on Febru- ary 14, in honor of the Minervas. As a fitting conclusion to the school year, the former and present members of the society assembled at the Red Brick Tavern, June 28, for a reunion banquet. Thei officers are: Ruth A. Rathburn, President; Doris Love, Vice-President; Helen Barker, Secretary; Beatrice Burr, Treasurer; Josie Sheldon, Chaplain; Maud Wells, Reporter. Ruth Rathburn. The Athenian Society The Athenian Literary Society, Gouverneur’s oldest scholastic organization, feels justly proud of this year’s activities. Last fall our president, James Ormiston, instituted a one-hundred-percent cooperation policy whereby each member assumes his share of the work and responsibility. Putting this system into practice, the boys conducted a refreshment stand at the home football games, and later sold old magazines and newspapers. As a result of the efficiency of our program committee, our bi-monthly meetings have been entertaining as well as instructive. Each subject chosen for discussion has been assigned to a member especially interested in it. In addition to the larger social events we sponsored, we have enjoyed two smokers, one on November 28, at the home of the McLintock brothers, and another late in May. Financially, socially, and scholastically, this year has been a success. With pride in the past, with confidence in our own ability, and with hopes for the future, we eagerly look forward to 1929-1930.

Page Forty-two Friendship, above all ties, does bind the heart.”—Orrery. Minerva Literary Society During the year 1928-29 the Minerva Literary Society has taken an active part in high school affairs. The different classes represented in the society have presented clever programs of a literary character. Kathryn Farmer and Helen VanDuzee, by winning first and second prizes in the Dean Oratorical Contest, and Anna Brown, by winning the Art Essay Contest, brought great honor to the Minervas. On the basketball court and in the Glee Club our organization has been well represented. Of all our achievements, however, we are most proud of the fact that scholastically the Minervas rank first among the school societies. To the efforts and enthusiasm of the officers, and of Mrs. Jones and Miss Rombach, the advisers, the society can attribute the success of this year’s undertakings. OFFICERS President .... Marjorie Woodcock Vice President .. Helen VanDuzee Secretary....................Alice Dygert Treasurer.......... Frances Collins Chaplain.............Grace Hillis Jean Stevens. Amphictyon Literary Society During the school year 1928 and 1929 the members of the Amphictyon Literary Society continued the work of their predecessors. They have partici- pated in athletics, debates, oratorical contests, the orchestra and glee club, and have acted on the staffs of the Purple and Gold and of the Deanonian. Besides these accomplishments, the society did much advertising for the football and basketball games, and raised money for financing the weekly school paper. At the regular meetings the boys, through discussion and debate, have acquired much knowledge concerning important current topics. Formerly new members were admitted to the society only once during the school year. During 1928 and 1929 the boys departed from this custom and had two formal initiations at which sixteen candidates entered the organization. The Amphictyons added to the social life of G. H. S. by entertaining the students and the faculty at a Hallowe’en party, and by joining with the Athen- ians in putting on a dance and card party on May 3. Scholastically, the Amphictyons have maintained their usual good standing. In January the members of this organization ranked second among the four literary societies. These boys have set a good standard which they hope future Amphictyons will uphold. Officers for the year 1928-29 are: President ...

Music Department This year G. H. S. can boast of its first school band. Although we can all testify to the skill of the members whom we have often heard practicing, they have as yet made no public appearance. The high school students are eagerly looking forward to the time when these musicians will not be so shy. The double quartet, which replaced last year’s single quartet, does credit to its members and to their school. It includes George Boulet, Douglas Bulger, Donald Bulger, Darcy Goodnough, Dale Keiser, Edward Burr, Frederic Price, and Gregory Clark. Under Miss Glasier’s able direction, the orchestra, composed of twenty-two members, and both glee clubs, have made much progress. As usual, the Boys’ and Girls’ Glee Clubs went to Lake Placid to compete in the Annual Music Festival. The two numbers selected to be sung were A Brown Bird Singing and Lo, A City Is Budded. As several new instruments have been purchased for the orchestra, its members worked hard to prepare for the Lake Placid Contest, in which this June they participated for the first time. G. H. S. has reason to be proud of its music department, for the chorus won second place and the orchestra third. We sincerely appreciate Miss Glasier’s efforts to make the Music Depart- ment a greater success than ever before. Ruth Cox. Page Forty-seven I ORCHESTRA “Art is power.”—Longfellow. Rho Beta Epsilon The Rho Beta Epsilon Art Society, organized by Miss Todd and six art students in the fall of 1927, has increased its membership to twenty. Anyone, who has studied art, is qualified to join this organization, whose aims are to teach the value of art and to encourage its appreciation. At the regular meet- ings, held ever)' two weeks, the members study the lives and works of great masters and conduct painting projects. A social meeting is held once a month.

Page Forty-nine The Agricultural Club The Gouverneur Agricultural Club was organized January 12, 1927, for the purpose of providing instruction, of encouraging participation in cooperative enterprises, of promoting thrift, of furthering economy, and of improving the educational, social, and recreational facilities of its members. In addition to the regular bi-monthly meetings, the club, on December 11, 1928, held the annual Father and Son Banquet. In October, the proceeds of a card party enabled the society to help defray the traveling expenses of two representatives, Wendell Wicks and Herbert Putman, who took calves to the National Dairy Show at Memphis, Tennessee. Another card party was held for the purpose of raising money to pay the car fare of four of our members who participated in the judging contest at Cornell University, where Earl Coates won second individual prize on potatoes. On May 27, Roy Temple and Lyle Raven delivered their essays on agricul- tural subjects at the Sectional Speaking Contest at Malone.

Purple and Gold In September 1928, the Purple and Gold personnel was enlarged to include sophomore and freshmen reporters. During the school year the old and new members of the staff have worked together efficiently, and edited thirty-three issues of the school paper. Material for nine special numbers was contributed by the following organizations: The senior, junior, sophomore, and freshman classes; each of the four literary societies; and the faculty. In February, 1929, shortly after the Pi Gamma Journalistic Society came into existence, the editors and managers of the Purple and Gold received pins designed especially for them. Originally all four pages of the school paper were devoted to accounts of high school activities, and to editorials, book reports, news items, and alumni notes especially interesting to high school students. Since September, however, the Grammar School has supplied all the material for the last page. Each year has marked an improvement in the quality of the Purple and Gold. and an increase in its prestige. The Editorial Staff consists of : Editor-in-Chief. Ruth A. Rathburn; Assistant Editors, Rosalie Austin and Marian Sullivan; Exchange Editor, Mary Jones; Alumni Editor. Helen Barker; Business Manager, Glenn Brown; Assistant Mana- gers, Robert Hazelton, Lyle Wicks, Franklyn Bancroft, and Charles O’Brien. Ruth A. Rathburn.

Washington Banquet On February 22, in accordance with a custom inaugurated last year, the students of G. H. S. held a banquet in honor of George Washington’s birthday. In 1928, the Northern Tribune gave the high school a silver cup, to be awarded each year to the class whose table is most appropriately decorated for the occasion. This year the judges, Mrs. M. H. McOmber, Mrs. C. R. Rodger, and Mrs. A. M. Jepson, decided that this prize, previously held by the Class of 1929, should go to the present Freshman Class, whose artistically arranged table represented various scenes from the Revolutionary War. After a delicious dinner, the guests played cards and danced until twelve o’clock. Mary J. Callahan. Page Fifty-four “A play ought to he a just image of human nature.”—Unknown. The Whole Town’s Talking ‘‘The Whole Town’s Talking!” “When?” “Where?” About what?” Hundreds of people satisfied their curiosity concerning these questions when they attended the Dramatic Club Play at the Gralyn Theatre on December 4. The audience discovered that the whole town was talking about the love affairs of Chester Binney, a quiet, unassuming young business man. Ethel Simmons, a sophisticated society girl, just home from Chicago, refused to have anything co do with Chester, who, aided by Ethel’s father, invented a love affair with Letty Lythe, a motion picture star. When Letty unexpectedly came to their town, the conspirators found themselves in a very embarrassing predicament. The appear- ance of Donald Swift, Miss Lythe’s jealous suitor, who is also a noted prize fighter, caused Mr. Binney much worry and discomfort. However, all misunder- standings were settled by a thrilling fight in the dark. The play ended with the reconciliation of both pairs of lovers. The cast included: Ethel Simmons, Helen VanDuzee; Mrs. Simmons, Kath- ryn Farmer; Mr. Simmons, Donald Bulger; Mr. Shields, James Ormiston; Ches- ter Binney, Franklyn Bancroft; Donald Swift, Gerald Jardine; Letty Lythe, Grace Downey; Sadie Bloom, Lillian DeMarse; Taxi Driver, Jack Tait; Annie, the Maid, Jean Stevens; Sally Otis, Eva Wright; Lyla Wilson, Doris Tait. Kathryn Farmer. Page Fifty-five “When in doubt, win the trick.”—Unknown. Senior Play Although modern society condemns gambling as illegal, the cast of the senior play, A Pair of Sixes, staged a crafty poker game before about four hundred law-abiding citizens of Gouverneur. The Class of ’29 has every reason to be proud of those members who repre- sented it in this entertaining comedy. Roy Temple, playing the part of George B. Nettleton, and James Ormiston, impersonating the junior member of the firm, T. Boggs Johns, quarrelled and wrangled with each other so continuously that everyone feared they would harm each other. The younger man, having lost the poker game on which each had staked his fate for one year, was obliged to serve as butler for Nettleton. Krome, the bookkeeper, Roswell Perrin; Miss Sally Parker, the stenographer, Dorothy Young; Jimmy, the office boy, Hobert Dunkelberg; Tony Toler, the salesman, Edward Burr; and the shipping clerk, Jack Tait, had to lead “double lives” in a futile attempt to serve two masters. Mr. Applegate, president of the Northwestern Drug Company, a prospective customer, was played by Glenn Brown. While negotiating with the quarreling partners, he became insulted and left the office in utter disgust. When it seemed as if the prosperous business of the Eureka Digestive Pill Company were doomed to failure, in stepped Thomas J. Vanderholt, the lawyer, played by Paul Mosher. This tricky, legal-minded gentleman, later received the blame for suggesting the unlawful contract. (continued on page 6i) Page Fifty-six “What cannot be cured, must be endured.”—Rabelias. Debate Tearn Last fall a new course, Public Speaking IV, or Debate, was added to the high school curriculum. From January on, those who had completed the work in this class devoted their time to collecting and organizing material concerning Chain and Independent Stores which had been selected as the topic for the interscholastic debates in which G. H. S., this year, participated for the first time. The eight debaters, coached by Miss Eleanor Connolly, were grouped into two teams, each consisting of three speakers and one alternate. After several preliminary debates, Gouverneur, on the evening of April 22, competed with Ogdensburg Free Academy. Our affirmative team, including Roy Temple, Donald Bulger, Marjorie Woodcock, and Harold Cross, remained at home to meet Ogdensburg’s negative speakers. Helen VanDuzee, George Boulet, Paul Mosher, and Robert Hampton went to O. F. A. to uphold the cause of the independent merchant. There, two of the judges decided in favor of our oppo- nents, who argued that Chain Stores Benefit a Community. However, at home, our affirmative team won unanimously. Thus G. H. S. defeated O. F. A. by two votes and won the beautiful silver cup held last year by Ogdensburg. Mr. Newell presented this trophy to the Interscholastic Debating League, with the understanding that it would become the permanent possession of any school that held it for three successive years. One week before the final debate, Roy I emple replaced Dale Keiser, who was absent from school because of illness. Marjorie Woodcock.

The Art Essay Prize This year the Northern Federation of Women’s Clubs offered a prize of ten dollars in gold to the student of any high school in Northern New York, who wrote the best essay concerning My Favorite Picture and How I Reached My Conclusion. Two essays from each school were submitted to the judging committee. The girls of Miss Costello’s English IV classes entered the contest. From about forty competitors, Anna Brown, with her es- say The Mystic Interlude, won the first prize, and Elinor Grey, whose essay was entitled When Human Friends Fail Me received second place. D. A. R. Contest The Daughters of the American Revolution offer an annual prize of ten dollars in gold to the member of the American History Class, who writes the best essay on an assigned topic. This year the students wrote on The Development of Aviation in America. The prize was awarded to George Boulet of the Class of ’29. Dean Oratorical Contest “The first prize for the girls goes to Kathryn Farmer, second prize to Helen Van Duzee; first prize for boys to Donald Bulger, second prize to Roy Temple,” announced Superin- tendent Brown at the close of the Annual Dean Oratorical Contest held in the high school auditorium on March 22, 1929. The participants in this contest� Virginia Flynn, John Sal- mon, Leila McEathron, Roy Temple, Grace Downey, Donald Bulger, Kathryn Farmer, Glenn Brown, Helen Van Duzee and Robert Hazelton were chosen from about fifty contestants. The selections with which the winners secured the $10 and $5.00 prizes were The Fall from Grace, Kathryn Farmer; The Finger of God, Helen Van Duzee; Madame X, Donald Bul- ger; Conor, Roy Temple. G. H. S. is very grateful to the Misses Jennie and Cora Dean, who each year contribute the prizes that make this contest possible. Senior Essay Contest On June 10, 1929, the second annual Senior Essay Contest was held in the high school auditorium. The first prizes of five dollars in gold were won by Eva Wright, whose essay was The Priceless Gift, and by George Boulet, with his essay, A Challenge of All People. The second prizes, of two dollars and a half each, were won by Helen Van Duzee with her essay, Aftermath, and by Paul Mosher, whose essay was entitled America for Americans. The other contestants were Grace Downey, Marjorie Woodcock, Glenn Brown, and Roy Temple. We congratulate Harold Cross, and Paul Mosher, the valedictorian and the salutatorian of our class. The four maintaining the highest regents’ averages are: Harold Cross, 90.93%; Paul Mosher, 90.61%; Ruth Rathburn, 88.82%; and Anna Brown, 83.7%. mini.... “An honest tale speeds best, being plainly told.”—Shakespeare. Believe It or Not A SCENARIO IN THREE REELS Setting—G. H. S. and vicinity. Time—Any day in 1929. REEL ONE Scene I—Before 9:00 A. M. Miss Connolly and the debate team arrive about six. Van soon appears to see if he has enough tobacco to last through the day. Red O’Brien brings a mouse to assembly; the girls all sit on their feet and Miss Glasier climbs up the curtains. Everett Littebrant removes his shoes and sneaks into the study hall, fifteen minutes late. Scene II—Study Hall, First Period Prof. Gordon sits with Isabelle Graves while explaining some perplexing biology question. Mary Backus, becoming jealous, goes up to the desk to sit with Prof, the rest of the period. Scene III—Various Classes English IV Class. Jean Stevens and Tresa Scalzo have a gum-chewing con- test and a slamming party. Ralph McCulloch, the class tyrant, bullies Miss Cos- tello into raising? ? Harold Cross’ mark. Glenn Price, at the board, vainly tries to construct a precis with Helen VanDuzee’s secret aid (Glenn:gets 75 and a dirty look from Miss Costello, Dorothy Davis determinedly whacks Don Bulger on the head when he heartlessly deprives Dorothy of her cough syrup. Hobert eyes George Boulet maliciously as the latter young sheik; winks at Grace when she comes peddling slips. History Class. Miss Levis checks up, in second period. Leola Byrns, the first victim, has to get a slip from Mr. Riley. The next victims are Anna Brown and Mutt Wood who vainly try to argue that they were neither lost, strayed, nor stolen at roll call. Miss Levis looks firm and Anna and Mutt depart. All members of the class faint when Miss Levis admits she knows “nothing about it.” Latin Class. Helen Van Duzee becomes nervous over her translation and ferociously bites her fingers. Mrs. Jones calls on Karlton Dewey, who cannot recite at that moment because he is explaining Einstein’s theory to George Bush. REEL TWO Scene I—First Period in Afternoon Miss Purdy does hand and arm exercises in vain attempt to arouse French class which is peacefully slumbering. Paul Mosher receives note from freshman, asking him for date. Paul, insulted, shows note to Mr. Brown who punishes offender for embarassing Paul. Alice Dygert pantomines conversation to Freddy Parker. Mr. Riley makes “Al” stop because he cannot understand all her motions. IWIIIlllllllUlillliliiiiiiiiiiiii Page Fifty-nine “An illusion dissipated is an experience gained.”—Bovee. Believe It or Not (CONTINUED) Scene II—Second Period Miss Bowman is expelled for saying, “Come on, boy” to Mr. Brown. Chem- istry Class amuses itself by putting sodium on water. School house roof blows off and chem class retires, determined to do better next time. Scene III—Third Period Mr. Riley wise-cracks some knowledge into the heads of advanced algebra class. Mr. Brown whistles in office. Miss Vail types furiously to drown him out, but all in vain! Miss Glasier referees a boxing match between Red Orvis and Charlie Jones. Miss Purdy promenades about building checking up on strayed students and teachers. Scene IV—After School Certain famous couples gather in the hall to observe Dale Reiser and Julia Jackson impersonating Shakespeare’s Romeo and Juliet. Mr. Riley, who can- noit make everyone leave the school building, has a bright idea. He asks the band to play. Immediately the school house is deserted. REEL THREE Scene I—Masquerade Party Fortune teller informs Joe Ruderman that when he grows up he will be pork inspector for the city of Jerusalem. Van mistakes “Ike” Fortune for a tramp and throws him out. Joe Boulet asks Flossie Overacker for a dance. When she accepts, Joe begs Leon Sterling to teach him to dance. Scene II—Box Social Bushy bids seventy-five cents and then gets the wrong box—April Fool! ! Mr. Riley on a tour of inspection finds occupants in the lecture room. A group congregate on assembly stage. The lights go out ? ? ? ? George Battersby and Leon Sterling flip coin to decide who will take Gertrude McKean home. The coin lands on edge in crack and Gertrude walks home alone. Scene III—The Office Hampton refutes all the debate team’s arguments, then goes into reverse and refutes his own refutation. Don Bulger sets the clock back so he won’t have to get to school so early next morning. Dale Reiser ties curtain string abound his neck, and, letting the shade go up, he attempts to hang himself. Better luck next time, Dale! Debate team finds chocolate bar box unlocked. Oh, what a pity! Scene IV Lights go out and Van locks up for the night. Page Sixty ‘A little nonsense nozv and then is relished by the best of men.”—Longfellow. Jokes Hobert Dunkelberg—“Ha! Ha! I see my friend gave you a black eye.” Worth Phillips—“Why, you never saw the person who gave me that black eye.” Hobert Dunkelberg—“Well, he’s my friend, anyhow.” Miss Levis—“And the Britons still wore the same clothes that their ancestors wore.” Alice Dygert—“Oh, the dirty things.” Mr. Riley—“I’ve bought the little lady a machine of her own.” Mr. Brown— Packard, Lincoln, Marmon, or Buick?” Mr. Riley—“Maytag.” Don Bulger—“Do you think this photograph does me justice?” Mr. Cunningham—“Yes, justice tempered with mercy.” Dot—“Did I ever show you the place where I hurt my hip.” Lester—“N-no.” Dot—“All right, we’ll drive over there.” Bea—“Dear, if I do the cooking for a whole year, what do I get?” Rossy—“My insurance and a long black veil.” Class History (CONTINUED FROM PAGE 18) until Commencement week. The days following the Regents Examinations were busy ones, during which we attended the Class Picnic and Junior Reception, and participated in the Class Day and Commencement Exercises. How short these twelve years now seem! How crowded with work and pleasure! Now they are over; we have completed our high school course and must bid farewell to G. H. S. Senior Play (CONTINUED FROM PAGE 56) Ruth Rathburn, despite her foolish jealousy and fits of hysteria, made a very charming wife for Mr. Nettleton. Grace Downey, as Miss Florence Cole, sweetheart of Mr. Johns, proved herself a real heroine when she, having dis- covered the existence of the unfair contract, devised a plan to induce each of the partners to admit that the whole scheme had been illegal. Coddles, an English maid of all work, with her “Henglish Haccent”, foolish laugh, and unconcealed desire for the attentions of the butler, was cleverly impersonated by Dorothy Davis. The class wishes to thank Miss Connolly for her valuable coaching, Mr. Gibbs and his department for making the scenery, and all others who in any way helped to make this play, as the townspeople said, “a howling success.” Page Sixty-one Aufot apljs (Ambitious Young- Boys and Girls want to go to institutions of higher learning.

Illogical, isn’t it? That is exactly why the J. C. Penney Company doesn’t offer “specials” or “cut prices” or hold so-called “sales.” Day after day we sell merchandise at the lowest figure consistent with market costs, plus a fair charge for distribution and handling.
