Seniors, who are leaving the halls of G. H. S., and I wish, with all my heart, that you do fare well in all your undertakings that are noble, righteous, and of value to yourselves and to the communities in which you live. Be cheerful, and honorable, and ambitious for those things that are good; remember always that a good name is worth more than vast riches and that the road to success is full of rough and stony places. Do not let small rewards turn your heads, but bear in mind that those rewards only place upon your shoulders greater responsibilities, which you must put forth more effort to carry. Life is one constant task, and most failures come from seeking the easy jobs. SCOTT L. BROWN, Superintendent. Books are the children of the brain.”—Swift.

(Class (To the tune of There’s a Long, Long Trail A-Winding.) There’s a heart-felt sigh we utter Because our school days are o’er, And the waves of Life are rolling Toward a new and shining shore. We’ll feel a great big thrill, whenever We dream of times long gone by, The precious hours of our school days, And friends in Gouverneur High. There’s a lovely thought in conquering; Our triumphs have made us glad, But regret, deep within our hearts, Makes the final parting sad. G. H. S., in joy and sorrow. Has brought us safe through the strife, And, in the days to come, Will guide us through our life. Marion Sullivan. purple mxb (Solfr O, Alma Mater, dear to us, Though we from you must part, Through years to come, each one will hold Your memory in his heart. You made us see the things that count; The things that are worth while ; For you, we’ll strive for ideals high; However hard the trial. And may the thoughts of teachers true Make us both brave and strong; They dreamed, and wished, and hoped for us To keep us from all wrong. Alas! The parting day has come, When we must say good-bye, As out into the world we go, Our fortunes there to try. Though we should wander far from thee, And from our pals of old, Our hearts will cherish lovingly The Purple and the Gold. Class of i93°■ Page Thirteen ‘‘Praising what is lost makes the remembrance dear.”—Shakespeare. (Glass Htslara It was certainly a bewildering day for us when, twelve years ago, we entered school for the first time. Gradually, under the kind direction of our teacher, Miss Poole, we became accustomed to the new life. The years rolled by very quickly; our class grew until it included the thirty members who were graduated from Grammar School in 1926. With Robert Hazelton as president, we worked hard during our freshman year in high school, in order to maintain our high class record. When we were sophomores, Mr. Brown suggested that the students have a party on Washington’s birthday. Of course, committees were appointed, and everyone enthusiastically began preparations. We chose as our president Edna Coveil, and, as our advisers, Miss Connolly and Miss Todd. Miss Todd has con- tinued in this capacity during the remainder of our high school course. Each year a silver cup is offered as a prize to the class that has the most artistically and appropriately decorated table at the Washington Party. Although we have never won this coveted award, the Class of 1930 has twice received honorable mention. During our sophomore year we also selected our pins and rings. As juniors, we enjoyed many happy, beneficial experiences. Under the lead- ership of Robert Hazelton, assisted by the other officers, and by Miss Todd and Miss Weller, we gave a formal reception for the seniors, during Commencement Week. Then we became seniors. How full of work and fun this year has been! Again we elected Robert Hazelton president, and we chose, as our second adviser, Miss Costello. We courageously wrote our dreaded senior essays, twenty of which were delivered before the assembly. Then there was the Washington Party, the Senior Essay Contest, and the Senior Play. Seven of our classmates partic- ipated in the Dean Oratorical Contest, and we were well represented in debate, dramatics, and athletics. The June exams over, we were free to enjoy our Commencement Activities. We take away from G. H. S. happy memories of the Senior Picnic, the Recep- tion the juniors gave for us, the Class Day Exercises, and of Commencement. Washington Birthday Party According to custom, the annual Washington Party was held on February 22. The sophomores won the silver cup offered each year to the class having the table most appropriately decorated for the occasion. The seniors and juniors received honorable mention.

Boys’ Basketball In November, a large squad responded to the call for volunteers for basket- ball practice. Coach Restle faced the problem of building an entire team from inexperienced players, only one of whom had ever before taken part in a league competition. This condition resulted from the fact that all last year’s letter men, who were exceptionally good athletes, were seniors. The players who went out for basketball this year were so evenly matched that nine men played in enough games to entitle them to the varisty insignia. Although we won only one game, if the boys evince the same spirit next year as they manifested in the final games, they will doubtless enjoy a successful season. Moreover, as only one squad man graduates this year, and, as there is a great deal of good material in the under classes, G. H. S. should have a good team. Those awarded letters are Captain Hazelton, Captain-elect Pickert, Saidel, Graves, Gilmore, Putman, Sullivan, Appleby, Sterling, and Manager Washburn. Robert Hazelton. Page Twenty-six “Honor lies in honest toil.”—Cleveland. Girls’ Basketball During the year 1930, the girls’ basketball team met with but little success, although each of the five games in which they competed showed evidence of hard practice and efficient coaching. Among those who reported for training were several freshmen, two of whom received letters. The high school five found itself slightly handicapped because three of last year’s best players graduated in June. However, of this year’s lineup only two are seniors; hence the remaining players hope for a better season in 1931. The following were assigned the varisty insignia: Captain Phyllis Dygert, Grace Hillis, Ruth Canfield, Lois Levya, Captain-elect Isabel Graves. Florence Overacker, Rosemary Caswell, Gladys Leeson, Mary Shinnock, and Manager Velma Brown. Florence Overacker. Page Twenty-seven “The world still needs its champions as of old.”—Morris. Up to the present time, the baseball team has suffered five defeats. Numerous errors characterized the first four games; however, when G. H. S. played the St. Lawrence Freshmen, the boys seemed to have found themselves. Pickert and Lashure have come out of batting slumps, while Huntley is hitting a steady game. This year there have appeared in the team several new boys, including Bob Dier, Hilts, Taylor, Smith, and Grant Dier. Saidel, at third, and Jardine, in the field, are back with the team after a late start. Priest and Lashure have acted as pitchers, and Huntley, behind the bat, has filled the position vacated by Gale, last year’s catcher. The 1930 team is playing a harder schedule than any G. H. S. has before at- tempted. Under Stanley Restle’s competent coaching the team is showing marked improvement. Millard Priest.

Minerva Literary Society By cooperating with one another and with our advisers, we Minervas have made the year 1929-1930 most successful for our society. On November 1, we enjoyed a joint meeting of the four societies. Then, at New Years, we gave our annual Minerva Ball, which proved a huge success. In order to raise money, we sponsored a tea dance in the gymnasium, sold candy at the different entertainments at school, and later collected and sold old papers and magazines. In May we gave a dance in honor of the Delta Literary Society, in the Grange Hall. The last of our school activities was the annual banquet, held at the Red Brick Tavern. Officers for the year 1929-1930 are: President ................ Mary Jones Vice-President.............Edna Covell Secretary................ Grace Hillis Treasurer..............Dorothy Ritchie Chaplain..................Doris Tait Advisers.........Miss Nulty, Miss Hubbard Edna Covell. Amphictyon Literary Society The members of the Amphictyon Literary Society, during the school year 1929- 1930, have upheld the high social and scholastic standards set by their prede- cessors. Amphictyons have taken part in many school activities, including the Dean Oratorical Contest and athletic events, and have had representatives in the debate team, the band, the orchestra, and the glee club. In our class work, we have suc- ceeded in maintaining a high average. At the meetings, held every two weeks, the boys have discussed interesting and educational current topics. At the two formal initiations, one in October, the other in April, twenty new members were admitted to our society. Together with the other three societies, we planned and gave the finest Hal- lowe’en Party ever held in G. H. S. The officers for the coming year were elected at the annual banquet in May, when the senior members addressed their society brothers. The officers for 1929-30 are : President........... Robert Hazelton Secretary............Clinton Goodison Vice-President------Roswell Perrin Treasurer .. Laurence Richardson Third Member of Executive Committee .... Leo Siiinnock Chaplain .................................... Francis Fox Francis Fox. Page Thirty-two 'He’s true to God who’s true to man.”—Lowell. Delta Kappa Delta The Delta Kappa Delta Literary Society is justly proud of its position in G. H. S. scholasticall, socially, and financially. Ours, the oldest girls’ society, looks back upon one of the most successful years it has ever had. On the first color day we sold attractive megaphones to the members of G. H. S. In October, the Delta Society, together with the other three Literary Societies, enjoyed an evening at the Hallowe’en Night Club. Besides our regular meetings, we gave our usual Christmas Party for the Athenians, entertained some of the high school students at a Bunco Party, and sponsored an informal dance in the gymnasium in May. In lune the present members and the alumnae gathered at the Red Brick Tavern for our annual banquet. Deltas have participated in all school activities, including basketball, glee club, orchestra, essay contests, dramatic club play, and senior play. During the first semester our society ranked second scholastically; during the spring term it ranked first. The present officers are: President............. Marion Sullivan Secretary .... Florence Greenhill Vice-President.........Carol Austin Treasurer ....................... Louise Millard Chaplain ............ Rosalie Austin Marion Sullivan. Athenian Literary Society During the year 1929-1930, the Athenians have continued to play a leading part in all school activities. In the fall we raised money by conducting a refresh- ment stand at home football games, and later by collecting and selling old mag- azines and newspapers. The programs at our bi-monthly meetings were both interesting and instructive. The Athenians sponsored several social events during the school year. In the fall and early winter we gave Saturday night dances, which all the students enjoyed. We also participated in the night-club festival of the four societies, which was held on November first. Then came our annual Christmas ball. As a fitting conclusion for the social activities of the year, a smoker was held at Spil- man’s, in the latter part of April. Because of the interest and cooperation of its members, our Society has suc- ceeded financially, socially, and scholastically. We wish all future Athenians suc- cess as great as ours has been. The officers for 1929-1930 are: President.................Robert Clark Secretary..............Norman Pickert Vice-President .... Melvin Graves Treasurer............................Gregory Clark Chaplain ............ Kenneth Orvis Melvin Graves.

GIRLS’ GLEE CLUB BOYS’ GLEE CLUB Page Thirty-six “Ever against eating cares lap me in soft Lydian airs '—Milton. Music During 1929-1930 the music department of the Gouverneur High School has upheld the high standard which it attained in previous years. An operetta, The Pirates Daughter, beautiful in setting and tuneful in its musical score, was pre- sented in the auditorium on the evenings of December 12 and 13, and was en- thusiastically received. The boys’ quartette, and the girls’ and boys’ glee clubs have made several public appearances. The orchestra has played at all school functions and, on May 17, participated in the Northern New York Orchestra Concert, held under the direction of Frank- lin Bishop, at Potsdam. On May 23, the chorus and orchestra entered the fifth annual contest at Lake Placid. The chorus first sang the competition number, “Oh, Captain, My Captain”, by Kelley and then “Dawn”, by Manney. “Exalta- tion”'by Louise Coerne was the competition number for Class A orchestras. Members of Miss Glasier’s band have joined the new organization under the direction of Mr. LaRue. This band gave its first concert on the evening of May 2. I he students of G. H. S. appreciate the splendid work Miss Glasier is doing in our school. Grace Hillis. Page Thirty-seven “The farmers are the founders of human civilisation—Webster. Judging Team Under the capable guidance of Mr. Gibbs, our Judging Team of 1929-1930 had a most successful year. The first contest in which we participated in the fall was at Delhi, where Maurice Bigarel, Earl Coates, and LeRoy Fortune, who represented us, won sixth place. The same three boys ranked fourth among the eighty-one teams that com- peted at the State Fair. Here each of our three members received a cash prize, and FeRoy Fortune was third in the poultry-judging contest. On October 21, a team consisting of Maurice Bigarel, Earl Coates, and Rob- ert Storie won fourth place among the groups judging at Morrisville. Robert Storie was awarded first prize in the judging of Holstein heifers, and, as an indi- vidual, stood second. At Canton, Harry Kitts, LeRoy Fortune, and Maurice Bigarel won a silver cup for our high school. Mr. Gibbs, as coach of the victorious team, was given a gold medal, and each member a bronze medal. LeRoy Fortune also received a gold medal for doing the best individual work. Although the six members who judged at Ithaca won neither cups nor medals, they received honorable mention in nearly every event. LeRoy Fortune.

Young Farmers’ Association The Young Farmers’ Association is composed of the students registered in the agricultural department of Gouverneur High School, and of other local young men interested in farming. This Association, formerly known as the Agricul- tural Club, was organized on January 12, 1927, for the purpose of promting an interest in agriculture and of training its members for agricultural leadership. Our chapter is a member of the New York State Association, which is affili- ated with the Future Farmers of America, the national organization. Roy Temple, of our high school, had the honor of being chosen to represent the North Country District in the speaking contest at the State Fair. At a general meeting held there, he was elected Vice-President from this district. In order to raise money, the club sponsored card parties, and a cooked food sale, and presented plays in the Granges near Gouverneur. Mr. E. R. Hoskins of Cornell University wasThe principal speaker at our an- nual Father and Son Banquet, held in January. A picnic the last of June brought to a close the activities of the year.

SCENES FROM SENIOR PLAY Bab Bab is a comedy in four acts. The first two scenes take place in the Archibald country home; the last two, in the boathouse on the Archibald estate. Mrs. Archibald is a social climber, eager for her older daughter to marry well ; she aspires to a title, if possible. The father, James Archibald, is a typical, good- natured, business man, who prefers Americans to strangers of foreign birth. All goes well until, because of an epidemic of measles, Bab, the younger daughter, arrives home from boarding school. Then things happen! Her parents treat her like a child. In desperation, she realizes that the only way she can receive any attention and consideration is by inventing a lover, a wholly imaginary one, who later turns out to be real.

Debate Although, because of the crowded schedule, there were no debate classes this year. Miss Hubbard trained two efficient teams to defend the cup we won in 1929. On the evening of May 8, our negative team went to Ogdensburg to contend against the O. F. A. affirmative, and the Ogdensburg negative team came to G. H. S. The subject of the debate was: Resolved, That the United States Should Cooperate with the Dominion of Canada in the Improvement of the Saint Lawrence River. In Ogdensburg our opponents won unanimously, while our affirmative speakers won over our visitors. However, during 1930 and 1931, Ogdensburg, having defeated us by two points, will hold the trophy cup- presented by Mr. Newell of Ogdensburg, to the Interscholastic Debating League of Northern New York. O. F. A. has won this cup twice, and G. H. S., once. It will belong to the school that wins it three times. The members of the affirmative team were Francis Fox, Robert Storie, Grace Hillis, and Stanley Stevens, alternate. The members of the negative team were: Robert Hampton, Arthur Miner, Glenn Brown, and Gregory Clark, alternate. Page Forty-four “He is the best orator, who can turn men’s ears into eyes.’’—Arabian. The Art Essay Prize This year the girls of Miss Costello’s Eng- lish Classes competed for the prize of ten dol- lars in gold, offered by the Northern Federa- tion of Women’s Clubs, to any high school girl, for an essay written on Florentine Art. From the twenty-seven essays submitted, Mary Jones’s, entitled Back of the Dream, the Dreamer, won first prize, and a paper written by a girl from Carthage High School received honorable mention. Three years ago and again last year this same prize was won by a student of G. H. S. On May seventh. Miss Jones, as the guest of the Federation, attended their Spring Meeting at Oswego, where she spoke her essay. Senior Essay Contest On the evening of May 27, ten members of the class of 1930 competed in the annual Senior Essay Contest These speakers were chosen by the faculty, from the seniors who delivered their essays in assembly. A first prize of five dollars and a second prize of two dollars and a half were awarded to both girls and boys. The program was: Dorothy Ritchie, The Priceless Gift; Paul Sprague, Give Me Liberty or Give Me Death; Frances Collins, Is the United States the Richest Country in the World?; Robert Hampton, Disarmament; Mary Jones, Dad; Rob- ert Storie, Where Are We Going?; Helen Barker, Broadway; Franklin Bancroft, Should the United States Train an Army of Surgeons?; Rosalie Austin, Twentieth Century Requisites; Robert Hazelton, Shall I Go to College? We congratulate Robert Hampton, the valedictorian, and Mary Jones, the salutatorian, of our class. The five among us maintaining the highest regents averages are : Robert Hampton, 88.571 Mary Jones, 88.52 ; Robert Hazelton, 82.46 ; Anna Rushlo, 82.27; Lois Levya, 81.78. Page Forty-five “Whatever is worth doing at all is worth doing well.”—Chesterfield. Farewell to Mr. Riley At the end of the present school term, Earl W. Riley, who for five years has acted as Vice-Principal, will sever his relationship with G. H. S. Mr. Riley was born at Three Mile Bay in January, 1892. He attended the village schools there, and then entered Colgate Uni- versity where he received the Bachelor of Science Degre . During the World War he served in the Seventy-eighth Division. After his return from France, he taughpone year in the grade schools at Ogdensburg. The next year he became Principal of the Cape Vincent High School; he remained in this same posi- tion for five years. Then, in 1925, he came to our high school as Vice-Principal. The Class of 1930 are very happy that we have had the privilege of being associated with Mr. Riley during our high school years; we appreciate his splendid leadership, and wish him success in his new work. We regret that we must say farewell to Miss Purdy, teacher of French; Miss Deuel, teacher of mathematics; Miss Maloney, teacher of domestic science; and Mr. Restle, coach and physical training instructor, who have resigned from the faculty of G. H. S. We hope that they will gain success in whatever they under- take. D. A. R. Prize From about twenty contestants. Lois Levya, of the class of ’30, this year won the prize of ten dollars in gold offered by the Daughters of the American Revolu- tion to any student in the American History Class, who would write the best es- say on an assigned topic.
