Page 6 Qlall September of 1938 saw about 25 “summer tanned” youngsters troop up the creaky stairs of Hadley Luzerne Central School- They were the class of 1942, bewildered a bit, but with an attitude of willing- ness; willingness to face all oncoming enjoyments together, willingness to overcome all obstacles that would hinder their progress on the road that led to the goal that all High school students strive for—graduation. Dot Hurd and Norm IVrkins were respectively president and vice- president of the class that year while Bertha White was secretary. Student Council members were Dorothy Hurd and Norman Perkins. Miss Allerdice was the class adviser. The Sophomore Class found a few of its members missing, but nevertheless continued onward in the field of education with light heart and spirit. Many of the class were beginning to show the way in school activities and athletics. Mr. Nelson was the class adviser. That years’ officers were William Hansen, president; Leon Orms- bv, vice president; and Norman Perkins, secretary-treasurer. William soon moved to Staten Island, and Leon Ormsby took over the duties of president while Wavin' Hawk was elected vice-president. Dorothy Hurd and Arthur Brewer represented the class on tin Student Council, and Nonnan Perkins became the first Chief Justice of the Student Court at the Hadley-Luzerne Central School. Lach year the class enjoyed the privilege of holding the two parties allowed by the constitution. Held either in the school or at the Hadley I own Hall, tin parties always seemed successful and were very well attended. With a still smaller group of students on hand, the class of ’42 dove into their third year activities at H. L. C. S. with hearty vim and vigor. 1 his was an eventful year and can be termed quite successful umler the leadership of Miss Eaton, class adviser. That was the year that saw Manie Tubbs elected “Queen” at a very successful Junior Prom at the Grange Hall. Harold Higgin’s oiehestra furnished the music. Wayne Hawk was elected representa- tive to Boy s State, held in Syracuse the following summer- Norman Perkins was elected “King” of the Winter Carnival. Fred O’Hare J,s ....I president, Emerson Baker, vice-president, and Janette Gill acted as secretary-treasurer. Norman Perkins was vice-president of tile Student Association with Leon Ormsby the other Council member. Arthur Brewer was a representative to Student Court. I I his was the year that saw many of the class contribute fine show- ings on the athletic teams as Hawk, O’Hare, and Perkins plaved on the championship soccer sound besides placing on the varsitv baseball and basketball teams. “Squirt” Salmon was a stalwart of the Junior arsity basketball team, while Emerson Baker and George Ackley contributed their skills to the track team. The girls made a fine show- ing m intramural activities. Page 7 GIgAA. cMilio-lif, ((Son ’l) Came 1942! ! ! We were seniors at last. Glad? Perhaps a little bit. We were anxious to get out into life and show the world what wo were made of. But deep down under we were intensely sorry that our final days at II. L. C. K. were quickly coming to an end. We knew that happier moments and more memorable times would never be remem- bered as long as those at H. L. C. S. Wayne Hawk was our president with Emerson Salmon, vice- president. Harriet Hall was treasurer and Dorothy Hurd, secretary. Norman Perkins became president of the Student Council and Arthur Brewer, the treasurer The other representative was Harriet Hall. Leon Ormsbv was Chief Justice of the Student Court. Mr. Rosebrock was our faculty adviser. The class worked hard on the sale of magazines in the fall and made clear profits of nearly $100. In March a square dance was con- ducted in Stony Creek and along with profits realized from candy sales, the class had quite a sum to help with graduation expenses and the Washington trip. The highlight of every Senior Class from H. L. C. S., the Wash- ington trip, was a very enjoyable one for the class of ’42. To the Board of Education and taxpayers of the school district we wish to thank you from the bottom of our hearts for enabling us to take such a marvelous trip. We, the class of 1942 bid farewell to H. L. C. S. On Friday, April 3, a small but eager group of fifteen Seniors started on the annual Easter Trip with Mr. and Mrs. Brewer as chaper- ons. Their eyes and hearts were alight with anticipation as they look- ed forward to the new experience in the historical metropolis of Wash- ington. After their arrival at Union Station in Washington the class was assigned rooms at the Willard Hotel. The first tour was scheduled for eight o’clock the following morn- ing. They went to Mount Vernon where a picture was taken of the Van Zile group. Afterward the class explored the grounds and build- ings and later visited the Lincoln Memorial and Arlington Cemetery whore they saw the tomb of the Unknown Soldier. That night the hoys and girls mingled with their acquaintances of the day. The next tour was a visit to the zoo. In the afternoon the class was transported to the zoo where they spent the afternoon looking at everything and everyone. The class was ready to leave but they could not find one of their chaperons. They thought they had lost her, but as the group was leaving she came along the road to find them. It was really very exciting. Page 8 'k ulii qtoH. InifL f(don)j Monday everyone visited Georgetown and Yorktown and saw the embassies of the different countries of the world- One point of interest was the beautiful Washington Cathedral. It is still under construction and will not be finished for many years. In the afternoon they visited the Capitol and Library of Congress. Among other points of interest, the class saw the Washington Monument, the cherry blossoms along the tidal basin, Smithsonian Institute ami the Art Museum. Tuesday everyone packed their suitcases to go back to New York. At noon they started to the station where they saw the “First Lad)-,” Mrs. Roosevelt. With no mishap they reached Philadelphia where their new acquaintances of Ludlowville reached their journey’s end. They reached New York about 6:30 p. m. Mr. Rosebrock met them at the hotel and went with them to Fred Waring’s special performance. Later everyone attended the program at Radio City. Wednesday the class went to the Battery and shipyards. They saw the burned hulk of the Normandie, went to Grant’s Tomb, and through Central Park. In the afternoon everyone went to Chinatown where they visited one of the Chinese stores and bought many souvenirs. That night some of the class went to the play, “Sons of Fuii” and saw Carmen Miranda in person. Others visited the Empire State Building. After taking good advantage of using Thursday morning for a last glimpse of New York, the Seniors boarded a train in the afternoon and amid snow, rain, and sleet, headed homeward. A weary group of Seniors arrived in Albany that evening at about 10 p. m. when they climbed into the school bus for the last leg of their journey After a couple days’ rest, everyone, on thinking over the unfor- gettable happenings and the wonderful time they had, wished that they were starting another trip to Washington the next morning.

The girls overtook the boys in the elections which were held in the spring of ’41. The honors of office went to: Doris Mudge, president; Marcia Davis, vice-president; Jean Andrews, secretary-treasurer. Student Council representatives from the class were Jean Andrews and Delea Signor. Elizabeth Wood and Hex Cotherman were chosen as representatives to the Student Court. Henry Denton is to be the representative from H- L. C. S. to Boy’s State at Manlius School this summer. Among the outstanding events during the year were: the Hallow- e’en party in the fall of 1941, and the Junior Prom which was semi- formal and held at the Luzerne Grange on May L 1942. Due to the excellent cooperation of the class together with that of Mr. Halsey and Miss Olivet, it was successful both socially and financially. Dick Stevens’ orchestra supplied the music for round and square dancing. Art Pratt added life to the party when he called out the squares. Marcia Davis was elected Queen bv those attending the Prom and was presented with a corsa2e by Hex Clotherman. The Juniors, though regretting that it will he their last year at H. L. C. S. are nevertheless looking forward to 1942-1943 with great expectation. Page 10 SOPHOMORE CLASS................................................................ Back row: L. York. W. Perkins. G.

He was buried under the snow several times before the other classes finally offered some competition so the contest could lx judged. Feb. 13—King Fay Paul and Queen Shirley Haves held court at Heart’s Castle (the science room minus the usual odors) and assisted Cuoid in his annual duties by giving out Valentines—food of course.

June 19—Last day of school. Tempus fugit or time flies (I’m going to take Latin next year ) We’ve had our little struggles, we’ve made mistakes, but its been fun being with our friends and pals.

SEVENTH GRADE When the sixth grade entered the seventh grade home room in September many new faces were present. The� new teachers were sur- prised and so were the pupils, but soon acquaintances were made. Elections were held and the following were elected: Joan Eckert, president; Warren Hall, vice-president; and Howard Hawk, secretary. Elaine Salmon and Clyde Rollman were chosen as Student Council members, while Marjorie Sherman and Harry Pixley were on the Ser- viet� Committee. Miss Vogt was class adviser. October came and the Hallowe’en party was held in the Music room. Games were played before the costumes were judged, and Ashelv Ramsey was awarded the funniest, Garvin Burgess the most original, and Genevieve Bosford the prettiest. Time passed unnoticed till nearly Christinas when a party was held and a tree was decorated. The usual Christmas spirit prevailed. The Snow Carnival was held in January. Victories and losses were plentiful and everyone had fun. The Seventh Grade beat the Eightii Grade in the Husky Dog team race. For the snow sculpture contest, and Eskimo dog was chosen as tin model. A Valentine party was held in February. The class was very considerate of Genevieve Bosford during her illness. The boys treid hard at softball, but the loss was a groat letdown. Though the class did not do so well this year they are sure to gain in abilitv to be more successful in the future. STUDENT COURT Back row: F. Evans. R. Cotherman, E. Wood. Front row: L. Ormsby, Chief Justice; D. Hurd. Mr. Stanley, adviser. STUDENT COURT The Student Court is the judicial department of the Student As- sociation of the Hadlev-Luzerne Central School. The Court of 1941-42 was composed of seven members and Mr. Ralph Stanley, the adviser. The members are Leon Ormsby, chief justice, and six associate justices: Dorothy Hurd, Elizabeth Wood, Florence Evens, Rex Cotherman, Clar- ence Smith, anil Ixtis Smith. The duties of the court were to hear cases and give verdicts on all complaints brought against students for infraction of Student Associa- tion rules. At the first meeting this year Dorothy Hurd was elected court stenographer and Elizabeth Wood, court secretary. A tew cases were successfully tried this year for minor infractions of the various association rules. The Court did not go to the County Court session due to the con- ditions caused by the war.

STUDENT COUNCIL The Student Council for 1941-42 consisted of two representatives from each class of the Junior and Senior High School and one post graduate together with faculty advisers, Miss Woodhull and Mr. Town- send. During the year many important matters were discussed. A Lost and Pound Department was organized with Bill Monahan in charge and assisted by two Student Association members. The Service Committee announced at the beginning of the year that each month a Cleanliness Banner would be given to the class who had the neatest room. The judges were Mr. Stanley, Shirley Ogburn, and Mr. Dawes. Arthur Brewer has done an outstanding job as treasurer, regularly giving exact and complete financial reports. A set of by-laws was drawn up consisting of rules and regulations made by member organizations of the Council. The officers were, president, Norman Perkins; vice-president, Bev- erly Eckert; secretary, Jean Andrews; and treasurer, Arthur Brewer.

NEWSPAPER CLUB The Newspaper Club of ’42 put full responsibility for the paper into the hands of the students. Under the able supervision of Mr. Nelson and Mr. Halsey, the stu- dents proved themselves capable of the responsibility placed upon them and found pride in their achievement. In order to provide greater efficiency, the club was divided into various divisions; assembling, typing, proof-reading, tracing, and mimeographing- Aside from aiding in his special division, each mem- ber had his individual assignments for which he was responsible. The many illustrations in the paper were traced by Shirley Ogburn. George Ackley, and Barbara Davidson. This year there were co-editors, Shirley Ogburn and Dot Hurd. Thev worked together very cooperatively with the capable assistance of Norman Perkins, associate editor. Besides their duties as editors, Norman contributed many editorials and Dot added much in the typing division. Each member of the New Club did his part to help make 1941-1942 a banner year. 1 he number of newspapers issued were restricted because of scarcity of paper, but the club proved its true ability by editing the yearbook.

These are the members of musical organizations that participated in activities throughout the year. Various scenes linger in the memory—the orchestra playing in the hall at Christmas time, followed by groups caroling on both floors— violin lessons early in the morning before sunrise on those dark winter days of new War Time—the group of Rudiments and Harmony stu- dents delving into the fundamentals of music—the Brass Ensemble performing for Christmas programs and a patriotic meeting—eight en- terprising Freshman who carried the Male Ensemble through to a valiant finale—Joyce Rozell playing violin and Norman Perkins clari- net in an orchestra of 150 at the Syracuse music conference—and final- ly, the climax of the year, a concert at the Presbyterian church on June 5th, with the rustle of evening dresses and the fragrance of fiowers adding to the excitment in the air. “Give us music!” they cried; so we gave music, and in the giving received hack benefits twice over. Page 18 CAMERA CLUB The Camera Club met in September 1941 and elected the following officers, president, Rex Cotherman; vice-president, Melvin Cowles; treasurer, Leon Ormsby; and secretary, Dorothy Hurd. Everyone in the club learned the art of developing and printing pictures under the guidance of Mr. Castle, adviser. A contest was held for the best pictures taken at the Winter Carnival. A Picture Party was held in the Spring with both round and square dancing. On May 8th the club went on a hike around Lake Luzerne and took pictures of the surrounding country. The members included Dorothy Hurd, June Moroehouse, Carolyn Hart, Delea Signor, Arthur Brewer, Leon Ormsby, Charlie Wyman, William Frasier, Seth Hill, Truman Fuller, Charles Shuman, Adelbert Tucker, Rex Cotherman, Robert Cotherman, and Melvin Cowles. LE CERCLE FRANCAIS Le Gercle Francais was organized last fall under the following officers: Harriet Hall, president; Joyce Roider, vice-president; and Jean Bethel, secretary- The adviser was Mr. Van de Water. The purposes of the club were to provide occasions for wider use of the French language, to stimulate appreciation of French culture, and to provide social recreation. During the year, weekly meetings conducted in French have been held as well as occasional parties ami hikes. The members feel at the end of the year, that they have made definite progress in the use of the spoken language. SKETCH CLUB This semester a Sketch Club was started by Miss Jackson for the girls who wished to learn to draw for fun. It was composed of a small group of girls: Mary Wiess, Elizabeth Eisen, Madge Parker, and Bar- bara Davidson. If you have looked in the art room recently, you will know that our models were boys and girls from school. For awhile we took our models from tin club, but this proved very impractical because of the small number of girls in class, so we had to get “out-siders” to come in and pose for us. We wish too thank Robert Bethel, Joyce Roider, (frant Bethel, Wayne Hawk, and Jayne Stone for modeling for our club. Our aim, if we must have one, is first of all to enjoy ourselves, and at the same time learn about the human figure, action, proportion, and solidity. Wo assure you that “you don’t have to know how to draw a straight line.” We now find that we are able to sketch more quickly, and in each sketch we see improvement in action and proportion. We hope in the future we will be able to have more interesting costumes and a larger membership. BASKETBALL.................................................................. Back row: G. Bethel. A.

The plucky Blue and White hoopsters came� in third in the final standings of the Saratoga County League, finishing behind Ballston and Still- water who tied for first. The Eagles boast a well earned victory over the championship Stillwater squad and threw a terrific scare into the crack Ballston out- fit at the Corinth Commissary, losing out in the last period. Starting out the season with a somewhat dismal future in view, the home team went to work and built up a scrappy, hard fighting quintet which might have made the League standings a little different had they had their own home court to practice and play their game3 on. Members of the team were: Norman Perkins, Wayne Hawk, Henry Denton, Fred O’Hare, Richard Fowler, James Priddy, Wayne Perkins, Grant Bethel.

Because of transportation difficulties, Mr. Nelson has been unable to schedule any meets so far this season. It is expected that meets will be arranged with South Glens Falls and Schuylerville, however, and the team will also travel to Saratoga to compete in the sectional meet held in that city. Here’s hoping for a successful season for the 1942 track team from H. I.. C. S. BASEBALL................................................................... Back row: L. York, C. Shuman, H. Dentonv S.

BASEBALL With a small hut somewhat experienced squad reporting for the initial practice session of the 1942 season, Coach Townsend is busy with the task of getting' his team in shape for the opening game in the Saratoga County League. The Eagles played good ball to take two practice games from Corinth High so far this season, by scores of 10-2 and 10-8. Kenneth Deuel and Fred O’Hare are expected to share the pitch- ing duties, both showing a considerable amount of ability. Hardhitting Wayne Hawk will be behind the plate Norman Perkins will cover the keystone sack, returning after an injury last season. Emerson Salmon covers a lot of ground around second base and has proven a potent hitter. Grant Bethel is working out at short stop. Third base is held down by reliable Henry Denton. In tin outfield will be Wayne Perkins, Leslie York, George Suttlif, Truman Wendell, Seth Hill, and Charles Shuman. The year’s schedule is as follows: Luzerne at Selluylervilie, Stillwater at Luzerne, Burnt Hills at Luzerne, Luzerne at Corinth, Luzerne at South High, Greenwich at Luzerne, Luzerne at Ballston.

In a championship game played on their own field, the Eagles lost to Stillwater by a freak goal in the last few seconds. The Eagles compiled a fine record throughout the Fall, and plenty of credit should be given Coach Townsend for turning out such a fine squad after losing so many of last year’s veterans. Out of thirteen games the Eagles won nine, lost two, and tied two, scoring 27 goals while holding their opponents to 9. Members of the team were Wayne Hawk, Walter Hastings, Wil- liam Hastings, Fred O’Hare, Norman Perkins, Captain, Richard Fowler, Clarence Smith, Wayne Perkins, Grant Bethel, Henry Denton, and Kenneth Deuel. Fred O’Hare, Richard Fowler, and Norman Perkins placed on the County all-star team. The record for the year: HOME 2 Mayfeild OPPONENT 1 5 Wells 1 3 Waterford 1 1 Corinth 0 4 So.

Hall, B. Eckert, R. Bethel. S. Hayes, D. Hurd. G. Perkins, J. Rozell. CHEERLEADERS The cheerleaders of 1941-42 were chosen by the- cheerleading in- structor, Miss Vogt. There were fourteen contestants for team honors. Of course when the day for the tryouts came all the contestants were worried, since there had been little time for practice. When the final selections were made Harriet Hall, Joyce Rozell, Joyce Roider, and Dorothy Hurd were chosen senior cheerleaders, while Shirley Hayes, Rita Rozell, Beverly Eckert, and Grace Perkins were chosen junior cheerleaders with Robert Bethel acting on both teams. After the choices were made, Miss Vogt hustled all the senior cheerleaders off and had a secret conference. Later it was learned that the senior team was to have new uniforms. Although the junior team was at first downhearted at not having new uniforms too, they soon became accustomed to the idea. In the meantime all the girls were working hard on their jobs of practicing, and when the first game came around everyone was in good form. Miss Vogt and the girls, with the help of Mr. Castle, made a “Spiritometer” on which the amount of spirit after cheers was rated. At the first game Luzerne made a good showing with the senior cheer- leaders in their new uniforms- During the basketball year Betty Champagne was asked to substitute as cheerleader. On the whole the teams improved a great deal during the season and did well at their job of cheerleading.

Class “Squirt” Page 26 Norman Perkins .....“Squirt” GIgAA PriOfUiecif After working in the Corinth Shirt Factory for five years, Blanche and “Diddle”, now married to the Cowles brothers, decided to take a trip to New York where they had taken their Senior trip five years ag o. As they boarded the bus to Albany, they heard a familiar voice. Of all people, the Junior of 1942—Rex Cotherman. Diddle blushed and recalled lost memories. Just as they got settled on the train someone shouted, “Pop corn, peanuts, Cracker-Jack.” They looked into the face of “Hank” Denton. At the Hotel Taft they requested to see the manager. He was a smooth talking gentleman whom they recognized to be “Joe” Burlett. They got their room free, and he made it up on their meals- The chamber maid appeared at the door of the room, and they recognized her as the previous “Roe” Hall, the present Mrs. Frederick Campbell. “Diddle” turned on the shower, the pipe burst, the nozzle flew off, and knocked her out (of the tub.) Blanche came dripping to her rescue, and without thinking to turn off the water, she phoned for a plumber. “Porky” O’Hare appeared with his monkey-wrench, and finding Diddle soaked, hung her out of the window to dry. In the lobby they saw a dishing young aviator, “Ick” Ormsby, who had just returned from Germany with Hitler’s seal]). He was waiting patiently, as ever, for “Dot” Hurd, substituting for Miss Allen at the information desk. As “Ick” handed Hitler’s mustache to Blanche, who should walk through the lobby but Emmett Murphy, the House-Dick. Going into an expensive night club, “Diddle” called Blanche’s at- tention to a distinguished looking gentleman with a lady on his arm. As he lifted his hat, they recognized Wayne Hawk and Muriel. Hard t imes had forced her to wear the same fur jacket. As Oscar, Blanche’s husband, needed a shave and shine, they stop- ped at Tinv’s Barber Shop. A little man, “Squirt” Salmon slammed him in a chair and slapped a white lather on his face and gave him the works. As this was taking place. Oscar’s shoes were being polished by “Tim” Fisk, the shoe shiner. After recovering in the hospital under the care of Dr. N. I). Perkins, he was taken back to the Taft in an ambulance. On the side in large letters was written “Brewer and Ackley, Inc.—Morticians.” The ambulance suddenly stopped and re- fused to go on. They called a garage and asked for a tow-truck- A man with dark hair, blue jeans, and a grease-smeared face stepped ou‘ and said, “Baker at your service, sir.” “Buckv” had made good his ambition after all. A knock at the door brought Mrs. Tommy Walker and family in the room. They were celebrating their 6th anniversary. After spending another week visiting their old friends, they re- turned home happy and contented. Page 27 Ain't 9t 'Vie. Inutk? I Mil l Morning) 8:10 N.
