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
