Where we spent so many bright and happy days; Its fond memories will linger In our hearts to cheer and bless, As we toil along life’s rough and rugged ways. 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. Then her praises we will sing, ’'fill 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.

High school days, with all their friends and associa- tions, which you have so long taken for granted, will be a thing of the past. Numerous problems constantly present themselves. The spirit in which you meet and solve the initial ones will be the dominating factor in determining results. Set out with some definite purpose in view, then accomplish that end. Remember, it’s the fellow with determ- ination that wins. Were I asked what other fundamentals enter into a successful life, I would say first of all, integrity. Be honest with yourself and all will be well with the world. Loyalty to your employers, fidelity to friends, for, “He who would have a friend, must be a friend,” punctuality, and earnest, painstaking efforts are indispenable essentials. All these last four years as a faculty, we have, collec- tively and individually, tried our best to strengthen, guide, and help you that you may find your rightful places in the world. This is the goal for which we have been working. May you make it successfully, recalling always the truth expressed in the lines: “Give to the world the best that you have and the best will come back to you.” Page Nine Marion R. Bowman. “Life is too short for aught hut high endeavor.”—Wilcox Seniors CLARENCE O. BAILEY Commercial; Amphictyon. “To do or not my lessons daily”, This is the motto of C. O.

Class History In September, 1919, there sprang up the keenest kind of rivalry between two energetic groups of youthful opponents—the first grade students of the West Side School and the boys and girls in the same grade of the East Side School. Between the boys of these classes, especially, this hostility increased as the years went by. In the spring they fiercely contested against each other in baseball; in the fall, in football; between times they engaged in honest fist-fights and battles of all kinds. Then peace was declared when these friendly-enemies became co-workers and classmates in Grammar School. These two groups, united in the seventh and eighth grades, entered high-school together four years ago. Since then we have lost many of our former class-mates and gained some new ones. A feeling of loyalty has supplanted the old group antagonism, but the fighting spirit we still have. Now, however, we struggle together to overcome obstacles and achieve success. Page Fourteen “The noiseless foot of time steals swiftly by.”—Anonymous Class History (CONTINUED) During our first year in G. H. S., like all good Freshmen, we were completely intimidated by the upperclassmen, who resorted to paddles and cold showers to aid them in subduing us. When our shyness finally wore off, we took our part in all scholastic activities. We did not lack talent, for today the Class of ’31 sup- plies some of the school's most prominent athletes, musicians, orators, and scholars. In our Sophomore year originated the custom of holding an annual party at which all of the students meet to celebrate Washington’s Birthday. Although we never won the cup awarded to the class having the most artistically-decorated table, we twice received honorable mention. In 1930, after much deliberation, we selected our beautiful class rings. Dur- ing Commencement Week last June we entertained the Seniors at a formal recep- tion and dance. Our present class was organized in October, 1931, when we elected Donald Montreville, President: Florence Greenhill, Vice-President: Norman Pickert, Secretary; and Ernest Washburn, Treasurer. Mrs. Dodds, Mr. Gibbs, and Miss Costello, our faculty advisers, have always been willing to direct and help us. We appreciate their interest and practical assistance, without which we would have found our undertakings most difficult. In March, having decided to publish an annual, we appointed a staff and formulated plans. Even though this is a difficult year to finance such a project, the editors and managers have worked tirelessly to prepare a year book that will equal former Deanonians. The last semester, it seems, has been the busiest time of our lives. We have had to work on the Annual, to practice for the Senior Play, to study for the June exams, and do a hundred other things at the same time. Peg O' My Heart, presented at the Gralyn Theatre on May 15, was an acknowledged success. Those who attended this play spoke most highly of the interesting romance itself, and of the splendid acting on the part of the cast. They will long remember Marjorie Morris as simple, honest Peg. with her high ideals, her honest Irish pride, and her charming brogue. Then came the Senior Essay Contest, the Class Day Exercises, the Class Picnic, and at the last, the Commencement Exercises in the Gralyn Theatre. We, as a class, have done our best to uphold the standards and to respect the traditions of our Alma Mater. We have worked cheerfully and have striven to be courteous both to our teachers and to our fellow-students. Now, when we must leave our old associates, we realize how much they mean to us. We hope that, through the years to come, we may ever prove worthy of the high-school friendships we now cherish. Donald Montreville. The memory of the past zvill stay and half our joys renew.”—Moor When we come to the end of the last school day And we know that soon we must part, Then the friends we love, our old pals so gay. Seem most dear to each senior heart. When we’re through with our books, and our pens, and themes, No matter where we may be, Though we wander far, in our fondest dreams, G. H. S. and our chums we’ll see. Well, this is the end of our senior year, We must leave pals and teachers too, But we tell them all, from our hearts sincere, Of affection both kind and true. Our mem’ry has painted our high-school days With colors that never fade; So we’ll ever recall those happy days, Our school, and the friends we’ve made. Were 1 to make a poem of a day Of school, I’d write not of work and duty So much as of the lasting beauty Of friendships made along the way; The thrill of knowing I am one Of those who love the Alma Mater With loyalty true; of those whom ever after, With lasting pride, the school will call its own. Oh, to the classes yet to come, I’d tell The joy of striving and of knowledge gained, Of victories fairly won, defeat withstood, The final triumph toward which long we aimed, The grief of parting drowned in mem’ry’s stream— These things we’ll keep forever in our dream. “Our wills do so contrary run '—Shakespeare Class Will We, the Class of 1931, of Gouverneur High School, in the County of Saint Lawrence, declare this to be our last will and testament, which we make this fifteenth day of June, nineteen hundred and thirty-one. First—We appoint Clinton Goodison of the Class of ’32, and Jane Smith of the Class of ’33, to be the executors and trustees of this our will. Second—We leave to the members of the faculty, who have worked with us long and patiently, our sincere appreciation and friendship. We thank especially: 1. Superintendent Scott L.

Mr. Gibbs for his encouragement and his direction in the management of the financial affairs of the class. 4.

In Witness whereof, we have hereunto subscribed our name and affixed our seal, this fifteenth day of June, one thousand nine hundred and thirty-one. The Class of ’31. “In this world none of us can have everything our own way”•—Dickens The Eyes and Ears of the World Hello Everybody: Well! Well! If the mail isn’t full of news today! I have a real treat for you. Since it is the anniversary of the graduation from Gouv- erneur High School of the now-famous Class of '31, I am going to tell you a few timely facts concerning each of the remarkable individuals who make up that group. I hope my remarks may not embarass any of the “Thirty-oners” who are listening in. Speaking of embarassment, listen to this: “Miss Ruth Canfield, noted president of the ritziest Dinner Club in Washington, rose to her feet the other evening to make a speech, and words failed her.” Can you imagine that? Among the distinguished guests present to witness her discomfort were Earl Coates, highly paid radio entertainer, who stars in Collier’s Radio Hour as Yu an Hcc See; Mrs. Bigelow, nee Florence Greenhill of Bigelow; Miss Doris Tait, the most expert tonsorial artist in town, whose favorite Bob has been universally accepted; and Maude Wells and her husband, Robert T. Clark, professor of French at the Elmdale High School. Speakers at the banquet were Normie Pickert, beloved physical-education director at Vassar, who spoke on The Value of the Daily Dozen Twice a Day; Donald Montreville, often referred to as the “Car Doctor”, who explained that autos, rejuvenated by his secret process, could be made to function almost as well as new ones; and then Miss Helen Richardson, leading officer of the Grange, discussed in an interesting manner The Range of the Grange. According to the Associated Press, there was one more narrowly averted tragedy at Madrid, Spain, today. Mrs. Maurice Bigarel. the former Marjorie Morris, who featured in the high school play Peg of My Heart and in Doris Eggleston’s Broadway hit Love on a Fire Escape, was attacked by an infuriated bull at the public arena. The situation was saved, however, by some quick thinking on the part of her husband, the toreador, who, recalling the lessons Mr. Gibbs had taught him, delivered a forceful lecture on the super- iority of Holsteins over Jerseys. After having listened a moment, the humiliated animal, a Jersey, slunk away in disgrace. Recently there was a teachers’ convention at Antwerp. Among the prominent edu- cators assembled there were Mrs. Hilton Ferguson, instructor at Little York; she is the last of the old-fashioned school ma’ms; Miss Margaret Tremlett, professor in a reducing school at DeKalb Junction; and Miss Leola Bogardus, director of square dances in Hollywood. From California have come two other personages who are being entertained in the East. They are Miss Anna Glazier, popular Hollywood hostess, and wife of Robert Montgomery; and Miss Beatrice Hull, beauty expert. Miss Hull specializes in “making up excuses” for all occasions. Now comes a startling news item. This was chosen for me by George Battersby, author of the best seller during the last decade, Interesting Women I Have Known. Mr. Battersby’s message is as follows: “Joe Ruderman, well known financier, has refused to accept one million dollars bequeathed him by an admiring friend. He has made no statement to explain why he rejected so liberal a gift. Rumor has it that the money will be turned over to charity—” Well! Well! The theatre has been looking up lately. Both the screen and the legitimate stage have witnessed an influx of new stars. Grace Henderson and Joe Huntley, the famous “Boop- Boop-a-Doop Team” recently exhibited a spectacular vaudeville act; Ardis Holland is co-starring with Clint ( Goose”) Goodison in Two in a Seat, a Static picture. Gertrude “Prophecy is not fatalism.”—Augustine The Eyes and Ears of the World (CONTINUED) Brown is the leading attraction in Dale Reiser's Vanities. The police have given Reiser twenty-four hours to close the show. Another theatrical announcement has just arrived. “The Manning-Bailey Circus, one of the greatest tent shows ever presented, opens at the Bronx Zoo next week.” Here’s a telegram from Ossining. “John Salmon, noted inmate of Sing-Sing, has returned for another five-year term. This will make fifteen years he has served as prison chaplain. ‘The old brick-pile attracts me,’ he says.” Leo Shinnock, proprietor of the B. O. Kinney, Incorporated chain of drug stores, announces the opening of a new store at the corner of Forty-second Street and Fifth Avenue. Another spectacular divorce is being aired in the courts of Reno. Doris Eggleston demands a decree from Neil Cornaire, on the grounds of non-support. Miss Eggleston is Cornaire’s fifth or sixth wife, I forget which. While on the subject of divorces, we notice that two marriage licenses were issued today. The courageous young couples con- cerned are Miss Mary Bockus and Everett Clark, and Miss Helen Whitney and Ardon Davis. That means that the license bureau is one up on the divorce court. Great Scot! What news! This dispatch states that Bennie Saidel. celebrated hermit, philosopher, and student (?) of human nature, has moved to a cave on the west side of Pike’s Peak. He says he wants everything to look Rosy. Monopoly charges, under the Anti-Trust Act, were dropped today against Stanley Baker, accused of attempting to corner the peroxide market. He testified in court that he had not intended to form a trust. He had merely tried to get enough peroxide to keep his chorus-girl-wife’s blonde hair blonde. This lady is no other than Lisla Jobin of the Class of ’31. Two patents were recently issued, one to Miss Sallie Leach, who offers a new method of making things Shine about the home; the other to Ernest Washburn. He has perfected a device to enlarge rumble seats. Both processes are being carefully guarded. Two famous female teams have returned to little old New York. The “Hazels”, Miss Howard and Miss Streeter, have been touring Europe, lecturing on Women’s Rights, while the Misses Geisendoerfer and Dafoe have been manikins at Jeanne Rene’s establish- ment in Paris. Irma Jeffers has been promoted from operator 13 to head inspector at the New York Telephone Exchange, because of her resourcefulness and quick thinking. She summoned the fire department when she saw smoke pouring from the president’s office. It developed, however, that the smoke was issuing from the president’s favorite old briar, but no one discovered this fact until the hose had been shut off and the fire laddies had departed. News comes from India that Grace Hillis, the eccentric missionary, has succeeded in converting Bob Blair to her faith. Why bother? Now, according to the latest dispatch. “K” Smith has incorporated the Gouverneur Women’s Chevrolet Taxi Company and has opened a branch in Yonkers. Guess I’ll have to call “K” and order a cab to take me to my farm in Connecticut, and so I’ll say, “So long until tomorrow.” Ladies and gentlemen, you have been listening to Charles Jones, successor to Lowell Thomas, the Radio Voice of the Deanonian, the great news annual. Next you will hear a program of dinner-dance music by Lawrence Richardson and his Black and Blue Room Orchestra.

Donald Wright, Beatrice Burr I Page Twcnty-stx Girls’ Basketball Early in the winter, the high school girls excited the admiration of their fellow-students, of the faculty, and of the townspeople, when they manifested determination, perseverance, and energy in overcoming all obstacles, in order to make possible a girls’ basketball team. On their own initiative, they arranged to present a movie for which they sold tickets. Under the direction of Mrs. Dodds, they cleared over ninety dollars, which enabled them to finance a team and remain in the Northern New York League. Although many underclassmen reported for practice in January, the first team was composed chiefly of girls who had played during the previous seasons. After only two weeks of hard practice, our team contended against Franklin Academy at Malone. The schedule included also games with Canton, Ogdens- burg, Potsdam, and Norwood. The following players received their block letters: Grace Hillis, Ruth Can- field, Mary Shinnock, Florence Overacker, Rosemary Caswell, Beulah Clark, Mary Washburn, Lillian Wright, and Manager Mary Callahan. Florence Overacker. I Page Twenty-eight “The race by vigour, not by vaunts, is won: '—Pope ‘A pound of pluck is worth a ton of luck.”—Garfield Boys’ Basketball During the 1930-1931 season our boys won six of the thirteen games played. They fought their way into the tournament at Canton, where unfortunately' they lost to Franklin Academy. G. H. S. certainly had a better team than it has had for over two years. Most of the players, including Gilmore, Sterling, Saidel, Pickert, Montreville, and Appleby, were members of the 1929-1930 team. Two of our stars, however, were Hillis and Taylor, both underclassmen who had never before played varsity basketball. This year’s players appreciate the splendid training Coach Lisle Riley gave them, and wish him the best of luck for next season. The players who received block letters were Gilmore, Saidel, Sterling, Hillis, Taylor, Montreville, Appleby, and Pickert. Norman Pickert. Page Twenty-nine Football The 1930 football season opened in G. H. S. during the first week of school, when approximately twenty-five candidates reported for practice, to Mr. Lisle Riley, our new coach. The first game, with Carthage, convinced Mr. Brown, Coach Riley, and the boys themselves that our light team could not hope to compete with the heavier, more experienced teams of Northern New York. At a special meeting it was decided that Gouverneur should temporarily withdraw from the League, and should play only pick-up games. As many of this year’s players expect to return next fall, we hope that our school may again take a prominent place in the League. The men who received letters were: Meryl Appleby, Robert Blair, Donald Brown, John Griffith, Alan Hillis, Robert Hilts, Gerald Jardine, Donald Mon- treville, Norman Pickert, Erwin Peck, Bennie Saidel, Louis Saidel, Robert Storie, Kenneth Taylor, Ernest Washburn. Lawrence Richardson. Delta Literary Society By actively participating in athletics, in dramatics, in the Dean Oratorical, Art Essay, and Senior Essay Contests, and in social affairs, and hy working on the Decmonian Staff, the Deltas have made this year one of the most notable in the history of our organization, the oldest girls’ society in G. H. S. We owe much of this success to the perseverance of our president, Florence Greenhill, and to the assistance of our faculty advisers, Miss Brooks and Miss Formanek. In the fall we raised money by selling Purple and Gold Megaphones for color day. On February 17, we entertained the Minervas at a theatre party, followed by a dance. During the year we gave two banquets to welcome twelve initiates into our society. Late in June we enjoyed our annual banquet at the Red Brick Tavern. Throughout the two semesters the Deltas maintained a higher scholastic standing than any of the other three societies in G. H. S. The officers for 1930-31 were: President..................... Florence Greenhill Vice-President ................... Marjorie Morris Secretary .................... Helen Richardson Treasurer .................... Gertrude McKean Chaplain.............................Helen Washburn Maude IVells. Athenian Literary Society The Athenian Literary Society is the oldest organization of its kind in Gouver- neur High School. It was founded during the last quarter of the nineteenth cen- tury for the purpose of arousing an interest in literary works, and of training young men for public speaking. Since it came into existence, it has ranked high in all types of scholastic activities. During the year we held two formal initiations at which fifteen new members were admitted to our society. We raised necessary funds by selling hot dogs at the home football games, and by giving a dance in the spring. “Infinite is the help man can yield to man. —Carlyle Most of the athletes who participated in football, basketball, and track, were Athenians. Our society was also creditably represented in the Dean Oratorical Contest, in Debate, in the Senior Play, and in other extra-curricular activities, as well as in the class room. The officers for 1930-31 were President ......... Vice-President .... Secretary ......... Treasurer ......... Chaplain .......... ! .. George Battersby ....... Robert Dier Donald Montreville .... Bennie Saidel ... Melvin Lashure Page Thirty-three “Thine ozvn deeds make thy friends or thine enemies—Emerson We sincerely appreciate the interest and assistance of our advisers, Miss Burke and Miss Nulty: and the wise and unselfish leadership of our president, Henrietta Geisendoerfer. Working under their direction, Minervas, participat- ing in all phases of school activity, have enjoyed unprecedented success. The annual Minerva Ball held at Temple Hall, on New Year’s night, was one of the most enjoyable social events of the entire year. When the basketball season ended, we had just cause for pride, for seven of the nine girls receiving block G’s were members of our society. Mary Shinnock won first place in the annual Dean Oratorical Contest. For five consecutive years this prize has been awarded to a Minerva girl. Late in the year we entertained the Delta Society, and gave a banquet for the members of the two basketball teams. Toward the end of June, the Minerva members of the alumnae and those now attending high school met at the St. Lawrence Inn for the annual get-together. The officers for 1930-31 were: President ................ Henrietta Geisendoerfer Vice-President ................. Ione Weatherup Treasurer.........................

We are made for brotherhood.”—MacLeod Amphictyon Literary Society With the approval of the Board of Education, the Amphictyon Literary Soci- ety was formed on March 7, 1913. Since then the members of this organization have taken a keen interest in all high school activities. During the year 1930-31, the programs at the regular meetings, held every two weeks, consisted of interesting discussions of current topics. Occasional debates on these subjects aroused a great deal of enthusiasm among the boys. Moreover, Amphictyons participated in football, basketball, judging contests, school plays, and musical entertainments. At the same time they maintained their usual high scholastic standing. We who graduate this June have always endeavored to advance the interests of our club, and to live up to the standards set by our predecessors. We hope that the Amphictyons who remain in G. H. S. after we are gone may enjoy suc- cess in all their worthy undertakings and may bring new honor to our society. The officers for the year 1930-31 were: President .............

Debate Club During the last semester the students interested in debate formed a club, which, we hope, will continue from year to year. Those members who manifest a sincere interest in the activities of this society, and who perform their various duties faithfully and well, will receive a block letter in recognition of their endeavors. On May 26, two teams, selected from this organization, and coached by Miss Hubbard, contended against two opposing teams from Ogdensburg Free Acad- emy, for the interscholastic championship of Northern New York. The subject of the debate was Resolved, That Cooperative Marketing Is Advantageous to the Farmer. The members of the Debate Club are: Francis Fox .....................................................

Judging Team On August fourth and fifth, a team consisting of Maurice Bigarel, LeRoy Fortune, and Harry Kitts, competing against thirteen similar groups, won fourth place in the judging contest, sponsored by the State School at Delhi. Later in the same month, LeRoy Fortune, Maurice Bigarel, and Harry Kitts, each won a cash prize at the State Fair, at Syracuse. The other members who represented G. FI. S. were Robert Storie and Stanley Stevens. On October twenty-sixth, a team made up of Maurice Bigarel, LeRoy For- tune, and Robert Storie, won fourth place in a contest at Morrisville Agriculture School. There also, Robert Storie was awarded a silver medal for judging Holstein cows. All of Mr. Gibbs’s classes attended Farm and Home Week at Canton. While Earl Coates, Harry Kitts, and Stanley Stevens took part in the Judging Con- tests, the other boys attended numerous lectures. During Farm and Home Week at Cornell University, Richard Billings, Harry Kitts, Robert Miner, Wilson Pernice, Arthur Randall, and Stanley Stevens rep- resented our school. Among the one hundred and twenty-eight boys participat- ing in the Potato Judging Contest, Robert Miner made the twelfth highest score. Stanley Stevens. Page Thirty-eight “Our business is to do our work in the present place, wherever it may be.”—Abbott Young Farmers’ Association The local Young Farmers’ Association is a member of the New York State Association of Young Farmers, which is affiliated with the Future Farmers of America, the national organization. Our club includes not only students en- rolled in Gouverneur Fligh School, but also other young men of the vicinity, inter- ested in our aims and activities. Darcy Goodnough, a graduate of the local high school, is one of the Vice- Presidents of the State Association, and, therefore, Chairman of the North Coun- try District. By holding public card parties and cooked food sales, and by presenting pro- grams at the Gouverneur and Richville Granges, the boys raised sufficient money to defray the expenses of the judging teams on their various trips. On the evening of November the twenty-fifth, Earl Laidlaw, Supervisor of the town of Gouverneur, and M. H. Streeter, a prominent farmer of North Gouverneur, were the speakers at our annual Father and Son Banquet. Harry Kitts represented our association in the North Country District Speak- ing Contest. The activities of the year were brought to a close by a picnic in June. The officers for 1930-31 were: President ............ LeRoy Fortune Vice-President .. Maurice Bigarel Rec.

The orchestra, trained by Miss Nell Cook, has played for all school functions. On May 9, it participated in the Northern New York Orchestra Concert, held at Potsdam. The American Legion Junior Band, under the direction of Mr. Bernard LaRue, played at several football and basketball games, and furnished the music at the exercises on April 30, when the Charter was presented to the American Legion Boy Scouts. Although this spring there was no competitive festival at Lake Placid, Miss Cook s chorus has made several public appearances and has received a great deal of well-deserved praise.

Each year the Misses Jennie and Cora Dean, of Gouverneur, make this event possible by donating thirty dol- lars for prizes. About six weeks previously, the five boys and five girls who participated were chosen by the faculty, from sixty students who spoke in a volunteer try-out. In 1931 Mary Shinnock and Dale Keiser won the first prizes of ten dollars in gold, and Louise Nickerson and Douglas Bulger won the two five dollar awards.

Farewell to Mrs. Jones At the end of the present semester Mrs. Ann C. Jones, a graduate of Syracuse University, Class of ’24, who, during the last five years, has been head of the Latin Department in G. H. S.. will retire from the teaching profession. We are glad that we have had the privilege of working with Mrs. Jones, who is one of our most popular and most successful teachers. The Class of 1931 wishes her future success and happiness. We congratulate Anna Glazier, the valedictorion, and George Battersby, the salutatorian, of the Class of ’31.

Phone 72-W Gouverneur Forever! ® Many of us can look back to the horse- I and-buggy days when Gouverneur stayed , Vithin itself, reckoned any clothes good ! enough for home wear and patronized far- i away big cities when we wanted something better. There was too little intercourse with the outside world to care much. ! But today we of Gouverneur go every- j where and hosts from everywhere have dis- v covered Gouverneur. There is no insular- 1 ity, and no overgrown city has any advan- | tage over us. Gouverneur’s industries are vital to the nation. Gouverneur’s stores rival those of | the big metropolis in completeness and | readiness and outdo them in values. . Gouverneur folks with Gouverneur bought wardrobe can put on as many airs in New | York, Atlantic City, Los Angeles, anywhere, | as Londoners or folks from anywhere and get away with it.
