SENIOR ( LASS HISTORY Contrary to most freshmen, we did not enter high school as scared, frightened greenhorns. We had an idea of what high school might be like and thus we came in to our own as freshmen probably more bold than many classes had been before. Of course we were awed at our surroundings and we had naturally, respect and pride for our superior classes. During this year we really had nothing to do, but serve as underdogs to the high and mighty seniors of ’35. The officers were: Tom Priddv, president; danet Pyfe, vice-president; Jane Stone, secretary, and Stan Mui pm, treasurer. Mr. Townsend was chosen as our facultv adviser. We were not to be out-done in the field of sports. Cortv Ross played an outstanding game on the court and was known as one of the best guards in the Adirondack League. Cortv Ross , (Plhu-e, Stan Murphy, and Tom Priddv also played soccer and baseball. Now entering our Sophomore year, we achieved greater honors. We had acquired more boldness, and we in return plav- ed pranks and enjoyed making the freshmen class feel as we had '4jiyh Jliyhti felt, the underdogs. V sent Stan Murphy and Pauline Goodnoe into Student Coun- cil as our representatives. We entered this year with eleven of our classmates dropping out, leaving only eighteen to carry on. In this year Janet Kyle was elected to the office of president with Tom Priddy vice-president and Jeannette Stanton secretary and treasurer. Jane Stone and Tom Priddy acted as Student Council representatives. Mr. Griffin was elected as faculty ad- viser for the next two years. This was probably the most uneventful year of the four. We showed our spirit by conducting a successful assembly program and a class party. Again the same boys blazed a name for the Sophomores across the fields of sports. Several of our girls were not to be outdone and they played an important role in sports. Several of these sophomores aided greatly in the monthly publica- tion, The High Lights. In our junior year, we enjoyed the honor of sponsoring the most memorable social event of the year in the annual Junior Prom. This was due to every member’s aid under the able guidance of our faculty adviser, Mr. Griffin. We began to realize that the lower classes had a certain respect for us. This made us feel our standing and realize that now we were an important cog in the affairs of our Alma Mater. Tom Priddy and George O’Hare served as president and vice- president respectively, with Jeannette Stanton capably filling the position of secretary and treasurer. Tom Priddy and Agatha Bethel filled the offices of Student Council representatives. This year George O’Hare made history by swallowing a thumb tack during an earnest lecture by Miss Johnson in French II, earn- ing worry for all concerned. We continued our path in sports and gained a beautiful silver plaque for inter-class sports title. When each Junior had received his class ring a new lift was given to each heart and a new love for the Blue and White. Entering our last year, we each had deep in our heart the fact that we would end our high school career in a blazing path of triumph. Regardless of the hardships and worries that we met, we recall happily each glorious and thrilling event we ex- perienced. Each one brought to the fore a deeper love and sense of duty to our school. Under the gliding hand of our en- thusiastic faculty adviser, Miss Nightingale, we made a name en- vied by each one of the classes. The Washington Trip, an event which we had been looking forward to for three long years, came and went so fast that not until it was over did we recall the most exciting and grand time any of us had ever enjoyed. Due to the grand cooperation of continued on puge 16 Nine JUNIORS Top row: V. Signor, J. Tunney, R. Tucker. Middle row: S. Townsend (adviser). S. Ilayes, H. Rist. W. Holland, B. Tucker, V. Kenyon. M.

A Hallowe’en party was sponsored by the class. Dancing and games were enjoyed by all. Carlton Wendell was selected to represent the class at Em- pire Boys’ State at Syracuse. On May 12, a very elaborate Junior Prom was conducted at Luzerne Grange Hall. For the first time in the history of the Junior Prom a queen was elected by the student body from the Junior Class. Vera Kenyon was the lucky girl, and she was pre- sented with a corsage during the evening by Mrs. Ralph Stanley. Ten SOPHOMORES Top row: R. Palmateer, D. McKenzie, R. Allen. J. Lindsey. R. Fowler.

The class officers were elected as follows: George Deuel, presi- dent; Walt Hewitt, vice-president; Millard Waite, secretary-trea- surer; Joe Lindsey, Shirley Ogburn, Student Council Representa- tives. The first party given by the Sophomore Class was held in November at the Hadley Town Hall. It featured square dancing and games. Cider and doughnuts were served. The second social event was a party given in honor of Mr. Walter F. Gilday, former class adviser. This was strictly a class gathering held in the music room of the school. On Friday, May 19th, a farewell party was given by the Sophomores to this year’s graduating class. Decorations were blue and white balloons and crepe paper. About one hundred people attended.

By tin introduction of art work in the monthly issues the club ha© tried to bring out the ability of the students as well as produce a more artistic piece of workmanship. The organization of the club lias been slightly differentiated from its plan of former years. It has been divided into three divisions under the faculty advisers. They are as follows: Miss Clark—features, literary; Miss Nightingale—proof reading, art work; Mr. Nelson—mechanical. Under tin new system work has progressed rapidly and a greatly improved paper has been put out. By combining illustrations with the monthly short story the issue has been larger and better. This year for the first time there was mimeographing on both sides of the paper. There has been a theme for every paper, and this theme has been carried out in each paper insofar as pos- sible. We hope that our newspaper club of 1938-39 has laid the foundation for a finer paper which will appear in future years.

Now as we nervously await the final exams, and are studying (in tact cranming) we are looking ahead to the serious and senti- mental thought when we shall part on that 26th day of June and go out into the world as young men and women. Some may ad- vance further in the chasms of education, others may acquire per- manent positions, but we all know that no matter where we will be, we will always have a love and deep remembrance of a few short years spent at Hadley-Luzeme Central School.

Stanley Murphy was acting chair- man for the first semester, and was replaced by George Lunick for the last semester. The officers were as follower Jeannette Stanton, vice-chairman and president cf the Student Association; Bert Martin, treasurer; Shirley Ogburn, secretary. The various committees under Student Council supervision drew up rules and regulations whereby the school activities were carried out. The Finance Committee levied a student tax according to its summarized budget for the fiscal year. With this tax the students were allowed to be on teams, go to basketball games free, elect Association officers, belong to activity clubs, and participate in other activities which otherwise would not have been available. This committee also took care of the expenditures of the classes and clubs throughout the year. I he Service Committee bettered school etiquette by its efforts in preserving order. Rules were enforced by the committee to keep halls clear and quiet, homerooms in neat order, lunchrooms clean, and school grounds orderly. The Sports Committee arranged the intramural school games. It also ar- ranged and made possible the bus transportation to basketball games. The enjoyable Ice Carnival was one of its big events, and Spring Plavdav was also under its sponsorship. The Assembly Committee had charge of conducting programs for broadening student interezts. Humorous plays and talks by prominent individuals such as r nn efk ns am the Bev. H. Dorden Adams afforded worthwhile view’s of life. The Clubs Committee, a newly formed unit under Student Counc 1, had charge of the Various clubs organized in school. It had the authority over the radio-victrola unit which was bought by student funds in the beginning of the year. This unit is available for all school activities, parties, and noon dancing.

Miss Allerdice, the head of the music department, again lias been the adviser. The orchestra consists of twenty members. This year some members of the orchestra received credit for their work. The orchestra took part in many assemblies throughout the semester. The Glee Club rehearsed twice a week throughout the year. A program was not presented this year due to illness of many of the members. They had an active part in graduation. During the school year Miss Allerdice supervised tin Blue and White Swingtet which has furnished entertainment for tin school social activities. Members of the orchestra were: Harriet Mall, pianist; Wayne Hawk, drums; Richard Hall and Jack Tun.- nev, trumpets; Uobert Evens, clarinet; Agatha Bethel, vocalist. Nineteen CAM ERA CLUB The Camera Club lias completed its third successful year under the supervision of Mr. Castle, club adviser. Officers in- cluded Joseph Lindsey, president; Shirley Ogburn, vicepresident; Wayne Hawk, treasurer, and Jean Andrews, secretary. During the meetings Mr. Castle showed slides and koda- chrome (colored) films which were loaned by the Eastman Kodak Company, lie also gave a demonstration mounting pictures with Foto-Flat a new membrane material. Directions have also been given for taking good inside pictures including groups, portraits and silhouettes. Many of these pictures have been offered for use in the annual edition of the High Lights. The membership in the Camera Club was kept down to twenty-five because of the lack of room and equipment. No dues were collected this year because the Student Association paid for the developer and hypo. The members did pay for the cost of the printing paper used. Enlarging pictures this year seemed to interest everyone. Thirty-six enlargements were made with satisfactory results. Next year the club intends to progress with more and better work. LE CERCLE FRANCA IS The French Club met this year under the direction of Miss Johnson. The following officers were chosen: Agatha Bethel, president; Alice Groombridge, vice-president; Jay Smead, secre- tary-treasurer. All conversations in meetings were carried on in French. Christmas Carols and the Marseillaise were learned in French, and each member made a Thanksgiving project depicting the various foods that are eaten on this day. On March (i the members, accompanied by Miss Johnson, journeyed to Glens Falls to attend a movie sponsored by the Glens Falls High School’s French Club. This movie, “Maverling” was the story based on the life of Crown Prince Rudolph and Baroness Vetsera. Charles Boyer and Danielle Darrieux starred in this fine presentation. The French Club has made remarkable progress this year and will continue its activities next year. HANDICRAFT CLUB The Handicraft Club has completed a very successful year under the leadership of Miss Scriven. Officers for the year in- cluded Bessie Pixley, president; Ellen Joyce, vice-president; Ger- trude Ackley, treasurer; Josie Pixley, secretary. During the year the club made candy several times and sold it. The members also have been working on a hooked rug which will be used in the Home Economics Department in the future. This was the first year of the club’s organization and the en- rollment totaled approximately twenty members for the year. Twenty SOCCER Top row: S. Townsend (coach). R. Fowler, E. Dwyer, E. Allen. E. Hansen. B. Mar- tin, C. Wood, C. Wendell. L. Ormsby, F. O’Hare. W. Hawk (manager). Bottom row: T. Priddy, G. O’Hare. R. Allen, J. Priddy, G. Deuel. S. Murphy. C. Ross, J. Tunney. N. Perkins. Front: E. Salmon (asst, manager). The 1938 soccer team of HLOS was one of the best in the history of the school. The team finished in second place in the Saratoga County League with Corinth capturing the champion- ship by one point. Luzerne finished the season with 6 wins, 2 losses and 2 ties. The two ties really turned tin championship from them. Seven out of the eleven players from last year’s team return- ed to the field. They turned in some outstanding soccer and pro- vided Coach Townsend with a feather in his cap. Tom Priddy and Stan Murphy scored ( goals apiece for the season to lead the scoring. The rest of the lineup consisted of Hob Allen, Ethan Allen, Norm Perkins, George O’Hare, Ed Hansen, Corty Ross, Jim Priddy, Jack Tunney, and Bill George. Next year Coach Townsend will be faced with the problem of building a new team as Hansen, T. Priddy, Murphy, O’Hare, Ross, and Ethan Alien will lx graduated. Luzerne outscored their opponents by 13 to 8 and were not beaten by tin� same team twice. Twenty-one BASKETBALL Top row: R. Fowler, W. Hewitt, C. Wendell, R. Denton, E. Hansen, J. Tunney, G. Deuel, F. O'Hare. Bottom row: S. Townsend (coach), J. Priddy, N. Perkins, G. O'Hare, T. Priddy, B. Martin, C. Ross, S. Murphy, W. Hawk (manager). For the second straight year the basketball players of ULOS played without a home court. Nevertheless, they played good basketball and should be highly credited for their performance. The opposition wasn’t as great as in the preceding year, but there were Some rough and smart games. Luzerne started the year off with four veterans in Stan Murphy, Tom Priddy, George O’llare, and Corty Ross. A tall lanky freshman came into the fold as a center and turned in a good season for the Townsend-coached outfit. This lad was Norm Perkins who will be a star if his basketball keeps up. Although Luzerne finished last in the league, the school gain- ed one honor. Stan Murphy, playing his second year of varsity basketball, took the league high scoring honors with 111 points in nine games. Tom Priddy played opposite him and proved himself a player, breaking up all kinds of plays besides having a good eye for “set shots.’’ George O’Hare, playing his first year as a regular, turned in a commendable season and played a miraculous game at Burnt Ilills and dropped in nine points. Luzerne’s left guard was one of the best in the league, and his loss next year will be a severe jolt in the Townsend lineup. This shifty and fast player was Corty Ross. The two main substitutes were Bert Martin, a junior, who played steady basketball and Jim Priddy, a sophomore, who is an upcoming star. In the Saratoga County Jayvee Basketball League H. L. C. S. placed a colorful squad of boys. Some, due to their ability earned a promotion to the varsity. Due to this fact, the squad was cut down to a few. But they carried on well and gave a good, stiff fight in every game and showed a grand spirit. Many of these will play varsity ball next year because of experience on the Jayvee squad. Twenty-two BASEBALL Top row: S. Townsend (coach). W. Hawk (scorekeeper), S. Murphy. G. O'Hare, C. Wendell, T. Priddy, P. O’Hare. E. Salmon (manager). Bottom row: W. Hewitt, J. Priddy. R. Allen. R. Denton, R. Fowler, G. Deuel. C. Ross, J. Tunney, N. Perkins. Tlie baseball team of Hadley-Luzerne Central School to date won 8 games and lost 6. They placed third in league standing. The club started out well winning its first 4 starts. Since then, however, the batting began lo fall off. This coupl d with untimely errors probably accounted for the drop in form. The team consists of the following men: Cortv lioss, Norm Perkins, Tom Pinddv, Jim Priddy, Ray Denton, Bob Allen, Jack Tunney, Dick Fowler, George Deuel, Walt Hewitt, George O’llare, Fred O’llare. Coach 1 ownsend looks forward to a good season next vear losing only Corty Ross, Tom Priddy, and George O’Hare bv gradu- ation. The efforts of Mr. Castle with the junior varsity team will provide new but experienced players for next season. Twenty-three ''4 igk Jlight LIBRARY CLUB At the beginning of the year the Library Club was organized for the first time in Hadley-Luzeme Central School with Miss Nightingale as adviser. The following officers were elected: Agatha Bethel, president; Josie Pixley, vice-president; Alice Groombridge, secretary. The purpose of this club has been to show the members the correct use of library equipment and the many tasks in whicn they may be of help to the librarian. As a staff, thev have per- formed routine matters such as displaying, mending, slipping, and shelving books. The bulletin boards have been planned by the members of the club. The members are Mildred Bennett, Agatha Bethel, Beth Deitze, Betty Deitze, Gertrude Denton, Alice Groombridge, Frances Martin, Josie Pixley, Cecile Stone, Verna Winslow and Frances White. TRACK TEAM There was an unusual interest in track this year at Hadley- Luzerne. The students under the capable instruction of Mr. Nel- son banded together to form the track team whose members pai ticipate in almost every track event in the field. The members of the track squad were as follows: Ethan Allen, Richard Bunzey, Emerson Baker, William Dingman, Ed- ward Dwyer, Fred Gilles, Richard Hall, Edward Hansen, William Hansen, Wavne Hawk, Paul King, Bert Martin, Harold Ogburn, Leon Ormsby, Roy Palmateer, Howard Rist, and Robert Woodard. With a little more practice and persistence next year, the school should see the organization of a capable team. In the few trial meets in the spring the boys showed up well. The following members of the team will be lost by gradua- tion: Ethan Allen, Richard Hall, Fred Gilles, Ed Hansen, Robert Woodard, and Paul King. continued from page 18 The Student Association approved and adopted a Constitution which was drawn up by an appointed committee with faculty aid. This new Constitution provides for a Student Court which will have authority to hold trials for those who disobey the ruling?� of the committees. Mr. Stanley will be the adviser of the Court. The annual June Picnic sponsored by the Student Council, included a trip to Ticonderoga, a tour through the fort, a picnic, and swimming. The Council realized its weak points, many of which the new Constitution will strengthen. As the institution grows older and the students begin to sup- port it. it will become a miniature democratic self-government similiar to our own government in Washington, D. C. The officers for next year will be as follows: Richard Bunzey, president: James Priddy, vice-president: Ona Thomas, secretary; Richard Fowler, treasurer.

Twenty-Six Krecim of tlxc Krop 1 Who’s demure, bashful and a midget, Who’s very bright and knows her digits, Has wistful blue eyes and little feet, And sits as quiet as a mouse in her seat. 2 Who's the alabastum witch With the big blue eyes and ruby lips, And all the boys make her heartstring twitch, We all know her name’s not Hetty But it could be----------. 3 Who’s that graceful merry girl? The one who gives the boys a whirl, She has brown curly hair, is tall and slender, But stands aloof in all her splendor. 4 Who has big brown eyes and dark hair, fan dance like a fury through the air, Who’s always good natured as she swaggers about Flirts with the boys and swims like a trout? 5 Who wears specs, is rather tall and and rather dark, Who’s bashful and never went on a lark, But in Washington he had a lady love, And cooed around like a turtle dove. 6 Here we have a brown haired lad, And some things make him very mad, A handsome lad with brown eyes, too. Do you know who he is? 1 do. 7 Who has jet black hair and is a very good singer, And in horseshoes can always make a ringer, Who always looks nice in whatever she wears, And seems to have very few cares. 8 Who’s the boy that has us all in a trance, Who’s so tall and handsome he makes our hearts prance ? Who could be but our class president, And of Luzerne a proud resident. 9 Here’s to Dummy with golden hair, Here’s to the boy who’s young and fair, Here’s to the boy with a loved one dear, And for this boy we’ll give a cheer. Twenty-Seven 10 Who is short and boy can lie dance? lias straight brown hair and never misses a chance, To tell people what lie thinks, And at all the pretty girls Ik likes to wink. 11 Who’s as tall as a pine And whistles all the time, In doing nothing is always busy as a bee, And continually talks in a loud high C. 12 Who’s little ami has dark wavy hair, And looks everyone over with a haughty air, Who fell in love with a senior boy, And just to think of him gives her joy? 13 Who has big brown eyes that sparkle like the dew, Fuzzy brown hair and an engaging laugh too, And as for boys, she’s corraled quite a few, She drives a big terraplane, 1 know her, do you ? 14 Who’s tall and likes to make love? And gazes up at the Heavens above, With a look of love for one senior girl, But she won’t even give poor droopy a whirl. 15 Who has dimples, freckles and nice brown hair? For wearing clothes she has a nice flair, And once had a boy-friend with red hair, Who drove a car right into a tree And you may be sure she wasn’t on a spree. 16 Who’s bespectacled and likes to drink pop, So quiet and demure you can hear a pin drop, hose brown hair is so straight ’twould never curl, Until lie fell for a beautiful girl? 17 Twinkling eyes and beautiful red hair A hearty laugh and a complexion fair, Cheerfulness that runs over like a cup of joy Do you know who’s our bashful little boy ? 18 Who’s tall slick and slender? To her boy-friend so tender, Who loves to fondle his wavy brown hair, Everyone says they’re a promising young pair. 1. V. Winslow 2. B. Deitz 3. M. Bennett 4. C. Stone 5. G. Lunick 6. C.
