Seven HIGH LIGHTS junior (Class History As thirty-one bewildered, scared, and yet thrilled freshmen, we entered high school in September, 1934. For us, in the good old days of 1934, it was a great treat to be able to mingle with, and be high school students. Our hearts swelled in antici- pation of the four exciting years ahead of us, years which would contain mistakes, and perhaps a little sorrow, but also happiness, and loads of fun. During the first year Elsie Mann was President, Richard Hurd, Vice-President, and Miss English, class advisor. This year was decidedly uneventful for us, but we did not mind, for we all were trying for high marks, getting acquainted with the ways of high school, and being ridiculed and snubbed by the Seniors of 1934. Entering our sophomore year, we thought with pleasure of the three very short years before we should graduate from high school and set forth into the world. This year the class chose Miss Doris Allerdicc for the advisor, Emalou Barber, President, Cecil Thomas, Vice-President, and Edward Sheil, Secretary-Treasurer. At this time many of the Sophomores participated in an operetta entitled “Green Cheese.” Now, as Juniors, came the first big times of this “perfect class” with Miss Laurel Johnson as the class advisor. The President was Richard Hurd, with Marion Westcott as Vice-President, and Robert Evens as Secretary-Treasurer. There were many bickerings, but these made everything we did that much more exciting. With Miss Johnson’s guiding hand we put on a comic play with all Juniors participating. The excellent abilities of many of the Juniors came to light during this term. Don Stanton, Richard Hurd, and Ernest Gilbert each cast a blazing light in the fields of basketball, baseball, and soccer. Ed Sheil and Bob Dean provided the class with humor. The last year of these once bewildered Freshmen was haunted with the proposi- tion of earning enough money to take twenty-five Seniors on the annual Easter Wash- ington Trip. Twenty-five Seniors—imagine! It is the largest class ever to be graduated from Hadlcy-Luzerne. This increase in our numbers occurred because seven Seniors came from Conklingville after having previously attended Corinth High School. With these seven came Gertrude Denton, who possesses the second highest average in the class and Floyd York, fifteen, the child of the class. Robert Evens was elected President; Jeanne Hawk, Vice-President; and Esther Baker, Secretary-Treasurer. Parties were omitted this term and all the spare time was spent in holding variety suppers, benefit shows, and raffling off radios and quilts to add to our Washington fund. These activities were under the capable direction of Bob Evens. At Christmas time, the Seniors had the opportunity to prove their artistic genius when they presented publicly a musical pantomine, “Christmas Through the Ages” for the benefit of the fund. In a scries of ten scenes, they gave a vivid portrayal of Christmas as it is celebrated in other lands. Carol-singing in French, German, and Latin added a realistic note and incidentally revealed the linguistic ability of the class. 1 he tireless efforts of Miss Laurel Johnson made this program a success—and added considerably to our fast increasing fund. However the class didn’t quite make the grade and the Board of Education came to its rescue and sent us on the annual Washington Trip. Eight HIGH LIGHTS Oil the morning of April 14, at the early hour of six-thirty, all of us came hurry- ing to the waiting bus with many people watching the start-off. Twenty-one Seniors ventured on this trip with two chaperones, Miss Frasier and Mr. Griffin, and two bus drivers, Mr. Enos Johnson and Mr. Seymour Naatz. On the exciting morning of the take-off, the chaperones came running to the bus about twenty minutes late. After we got started, at least an hour was spent in identifying each other in Easter outfits. The first morning passed very quickly, as everyone was eating most of the time. By the time we reached New York City all were watching eagerly for the skyscrapers which we soon spied with many “ohs” and “ahs.” After depositing our baggage at the Hotel Taft, most of the girls went shopping and the boys went to the Empire State Building. Later almost everyone went to the show and then to bed, as we were all exhausted after the day’s excitement. The next day on the bus from New York City to Washington, one would have seen some queer sights, such as: Don Stanton snoozing with his head in one seat and his feet in the other; Emalou Barber and Esther Baker shakily applying makeup; and our chaperone, Air. Griffin sound asleep and fighting an imitation spider which he thought was alive, only to discover that that stylish young miss, Jeanne Hawk, was keeping up to the minute by wearing the latest in fashion jewelry. During the next three days we saw the Arlington Memorial Cemetery, Tomb of the Unknown Soldier, Franciscan Monastery, The Capitol, the new Supreme Court Building, Smithsonian Institute, and Mount Vernon. Many of us visited the Wash- ington Monument on Easter morning. When we were going back to the hotel in a taxi we saw the President of the United States on his way to church. Two of our evenings in Washington were spent at an amusement park, Glen Echo. We all went on the roller coaster, midway, pretzel, whip, merry-go-round and many other things. On the way from Washington to Philadelphia, each did his share of sleeping. Every Senior was anxious to reach home the next day as we were pretty fagged out. That trip will be remembered by everyone for years to come! In the words of one of the Seniors “the trip was a vacation earned by twelve years of study.” But the trip does not end the year. Bv the time this annual is printed we shall probably be taking our final exams, and after they have been passed many of us will call ourselves quits with formal education; others of us will go on to other schools. Some of us will take jobs around Luzerne; others will leave for greener pastures. But, years from now, we shall all look back and remember four short, imperfect, but enjoyable years.

Thomas Priddy presided as president, George Ollare as vice-president, and Jeannette Stanton as secretary-treasurer. Fred Gilles acted as our Junior Class reporter. Thomas Priddy and Agatha Bethel were elected members of the Student Council from the Junior Class. During the first part of the year the Juniors staged a “get-together party. An enjoyable evening was spent playing games and dancing. During February the Juniors tendered a most elaborate dance at the Hadley Town Hall, the most memorable social event of the school year. Also during February several agents visited the Junior Class to display high school rings. The class unanimously voted for a ring displayed by the Treasure-Craft ring agent. In April, an impromptu square dance and party was held by the Juniors. The Juniors secured the Hadley Town Hall for their social events, and the grand success of the parties was doubled by the pleasant and attractive setting the hall made. We appreciate the kindness of the Hadley Supervisor who so graciously let us use the hall. George Ollare, an outstanding hero and ambitious pupil made history for the school and the class when he swallowed a thumb tack in French II during the latter part of the school year. Mr. Griffin was our advisor. Throughout the year Mr. Griffin has proven very helpful, and it has been a pleasure to work with him. The remainder of the Juniors have also helped in establishing the Junior Class and belonged to various school activities, too numerous to mention here.

(The .Sophomore Class When the Sophomore Class held its first meeting under the supervision of the faculty advisor, Miss Doris Allerdice, the following officers were elected: President, Martha Stanton, vice-president, Alice Groombridge; secretary-treasurer, Ona Thomas. At a meeting last year, Scott Hayes and Martha Stanton had been elected Student Council representatives. In the middle of the year, the class decided to learn parliamentary procedure by conducting weekly meetings according to parliamentary rules of order. Several students belong to Glee Club and Newspaper Club. Almost every pupil has some extra-curricular activity. Scott Hayes is the Editor-in-Chief of the school newspaper. At the Ice Carnival held this winter, Jack Tunney won the mile skating race for boys. He is also on the baseball and soccer teams. Carlton Wendell is on the soccer team. Dud Gilbert was assistant-manager of the baseball team and he did a good job. This class has improved since its Freshman year. Next year we hope we can say the same—and all the years thereafter.

Cl|e Jfrcsljntatt Class The Freshman Class had the following officers for the year 1938: Joe Lindsey, president; George Deuel, vice-president; and Shirley Ogburn, scretary-treasurcr. The Student Council members were Barbara Davidson and Corliss Wood. In sports we had good men on the teams. In soccer Jim Priddy, George Deuel, and Corliss Wood were the outstanding players. George Deuel showed some fine work defending the goal, while Jim Priddy and Corliss Wood poked the ball into the scorers from left wing. In basketball the Freshmen made up the Jayvees except for the center position. Jim Priddy and Walt Hewitt held down the forward positions, each totaling some forty points. George Deuel and Dick Fowler were on the defense. Ray Denton was a dependable substitute and made several points. In baseball George Deuel shines on the mound for the Freshmen. He is relief man for Don Stanton, and a mighty good one, too. Walt Hewitt is left-fielder and is quite dependable. In the Ice Carnival the Freshmen missed winning by one point. Joe Lindsey was out- standing in defending our honors on skis. The Freshman Class was also held up by the girls in the Ice Carnival with Margaret Roider, Ellen Joyce, and Shirley Ogburn winning several seating races. The Freshman Class had two parties. At the first party card playing, games, and refresh- ments were enjoyed. At the second one there was round and square dancing, and ping-pong. The Freshman Class had a good year with its sports, parties, and miscellaneous activities.

Each of us is looking forward to the coming year in the Eighth Grade and, after that, high school, the goal in our hearts. Meamvhile, as a class we have not stood still. The grade holds weekly meetings in Social Studies class with Russell Pulver, the President, presiding, and Raymond Bosford, vice- president, and Jean Andrews, secretary, helping him. On Friday, usually, the class puts on informal programs in its meetings. So far, this year, we have had three parties and one assembly which were held under the guidance of Miss Lindros who is liked by everyone in the Seventh Grade.

(the Jlhiiunit (Enunril Last year the Student Council drew up a constitution to be used in governing the student body. Accordingly, a new Student Council was elected last May, with Mr. Gilday and Mr Griffin as advisors. The officers of the Council were: Chairman, Richard Hurd; secretary, Martha Stanton; treasurer, Robert Evens. The new Council began its work very efficiently by appointing, under the provisions of the new constitution, a Finance Committee, Assembly Committee, Service Committee, and a Sports Committee, all of which carried out their work under the direction of the Student Council. All the committees did marvelous work. Some examples of the work done by the Student Council are the student tax which was very successful, and the snow carnival, sponsored by the Council. The Council put on a model meeting in assembly in order to teach parliamentary procedure to the students. In March, the Council awarded letters to members of the Service Committee for the good work they were doing. At the time of writing the Council is revising the constitution in the light of a year’s experience. It is trying to organize a school picnic for some time in June and hopes to make this an annual affair. It realizes some of its own short-comings and hopes that as it grows older as a school institution it will be able to carry out its work more successfully.

QJlumis anb (Orchestra The Chorus and Orchestra have both enjoyed a successful season during 1937- 1938. At one of the first meetings of the year, the Chorus elected the following officers: President, Mary Kenyon; vice-president, Josephine Shiel; secretary, Bertha Schrader. Membership, which includes sixty-five students, has been drawn from grades eight through twelve. During the past few months, the personnel of the Orchestra has been increased to eighteen members. This includes an instrumentation of ten violins, two trumpets, four clarinets, drums, and piano. On Friday, June 10. the two organizations will present a recital at the Metho- dist Church. In addition to the selections by the Chorus and Orchestra, there will be a trumpet solo by Donald Fowler, piano solo by Harriet Hall, and a clarinet solo by Robert Evens. Vocal numbers will include two soprano solos sung by Emalou Barber, and two vocal duets by Bertha and Dorothea Schrader. The Chorus and Orchestra will be represented at the graduation exercises. Ainctren HIGH LIGHTS @Ibe (Camera (Club The Camera Club has had a very successful year, due to the leadership of our director, Mr. Castle. Officers included Richard Hurd, president; Jeanne Hawk, vice-president; Wayne Hawk, treasurer; and Shirley Ogburn, secretary. At the beginning of the school year a constitution was drawn up and the members were required to follow its laws and by-laws. Each student was taxed ten cents per month to help cover the cost of printing, paper, acetic acid, etc. Dues were reduced to five cents during the last three months. Our last year’s membership record was broken when 45 students enrolled in the club this year. Mr. Castle provided the club with an enlarger during the latter part of the year. In February the Camera Club entertained two assemblies, the Junior and Senior. The program included every club member. The type of program was closely con- nected with our work in that the scenes were taken from a modern photographer’s days of work. One of the most successful parties of the year was given by the Camera Club. Entertainment included card playing, round dancing, square dancing, and last but not least, the serving of refreshments. ®be hutting attb (Airplane (Club Early in the school year the sixth grade elected Wayne Perkins, president, and Mary Weiss, secretary-treasurer. At the same time it was decided that the girls would knit and the boys would build model airplanes during club meetings each Thursday morning. As a result the girls knitted washcloths, dolls’ scarfs and sweaters, and many small articles while the boys successfully completed several model airplanes. This club was under the direction of Mrs. Hall. fie (Cercie 3fnmrats Le Cerclc Francais was organized last fall under the following officers: Emalou Barber, president; Agatha Bethel, vice-president; Betty Deitze, secretary. The purpose of this club has been to furnish an opportunity for French conver- sation. Meetings have been conducted in French and much of the time has been devoted to singing French songs and playing French games. The members feel at the end of the year that they have made definite progress in the use of the spoken language. T vtenty Top Row: George O'Hare, Ed Shiel, Ernie Gilbert, Red Hurd, Sheldon Bovee.

J ocrer For the 1937 Soccer Season Luzerne turned out a fine team which functioned almost perfectly. They joined up with the Saratoga County League in connection with Corinth, South High, Ballston Spa, Schuylerville, and Burnt Hills. With 26 men reporting and 12 of these veterans, Luzerne placed third in the heavy competi- tion of the League. Luzerne’s team was top-notcher, being the only team to beat the Ballston Champs. The starting eleven was Jim Priddy. Stan Murphy, Don Fowler, Tom Priddy, Corty Ross, Ernie Gilbert, Red Hurd, Ed Shiel, George O’Hare, George Deuel, and Don Stanton. The forward line functioned together to score a total of fifteen goals during the entire season. The defense allowed itself to be penetrated only six times during the entire season. With many of the vetrans rporting next year. Luzerne is looking forward to a very promising season.

In spite of these drawbacks, Luzerne played hard and plucky hall and gave most teams stilt opposition. Don Stanton was captain of this year’s squad, and he must be commended for his generalship on the floor. Fowler, Stanton, and Murphy all placed in the league high- scoring list. At the guard posts were O’Hare, Ross. Hurd, and Shiel. Ross and Hurd, being veterans, proved up to form, with Ross holding his man as usual. Stanton, Fowler, and Hurd played their last season, and their services will be greatly missed, although Stanton may come back for a P. CL Luzerne played some of the best teams in the area in the Saratoga County League and gave stiff competi- tion in every game.

Baseball The Luzerne High School baseball team has been assembled again this year and we find George Deuel and Don Stanton, star hurlers of last year, in the box. George O’Hare is holding his own behind the catcher’s mask. Ernie Gilbert, the veteran first baseman of last year, is right at home on the initial sack. During the first half of the season we find Jack Tunnev playing a splendid game on second, but he was transferred to the field because of his ability to get under the fast ones. His place has been taken by Stan Murphy who did not play during the first four games. Tom Priddv is seen as shortstop picking up the hot grounders and on the third bag is found Don Fowler, also a veteran. In the outfield we arc apt to discover any three of the following: Ed Shiel, Cort Ross, last year’s third baseman, Jack Tunney, Bob Allen, or Walt Hewitt. 1'he team is under the able direction of Coach Townsend.
