Class Iltstorp In the fall of 1939 about thirty-five well scrubbed Freshmen took their first step in making a reputation for the class of '43. Miss Johnson, as faculty advisor helped them over the rough spots of the first year. Rex Cotherman was elected president; Marge Shiel, vice-president; and Gloria Stolle. secretary-treasurer. They were represented in Student Council by Madge Parker and Robert Hayes and on Student Court by Eliza- beth Wood. During their Sophomore year, the class of ’43 was well-supervised by Mr. Nelson and led by the following officers: President, Rex Cotherman; vice-president, Henry Den- ton; secretary-treasurer, Madge Parker. Student Council members were Elizabeth Wood and Kingsley Waite. John Smith represented the class on the Student CDurt. The highlight of the year was when Gloria Stolle was elected Queen of the Winter Carnival. In 1941-42 the class was under the very able leadership of Mr. Halsey. Officers were: President, Doris Mudge; vice-president. Marcia Davis; secretary-treasurer, Jean Andrews. Delea Signor and Jean Andrews represented the class in Student Council while Elizabeth Wood and Rex Cotherman upheld justice on the Student Court. The thrill of the year was the Junior Prom! It was semi-formal with both round and square dancing. The prom was the big social and financial success it was meant to be. Marcia Davis was crowned Queen of the Prom and was presented with a corsage by Rex Cotherman. Henry Denton was selected from H.L.C.S. to go to Boys State at Manlius the summer of 1942. Oh, happy day! Seniors at last! The year started out well enough with Mr. Halsey as faculty advisor and the following officers: President. Melvin Cowles; vice-president, Jean Andrews; secretary, Delea Signor, and treasurer, George Sutliff. Rex Cotherman was elected by the student body as president of the Student Association and George Sutliff was elected vice-president. The other Student Council member was Henry Denton, treasurer. Kingsley Waite was Chief Justice of the Student Court and Adelbert Tucker was the other Senior Justice. Came the first of January and the Seniors made their first real sacrifice for the war effort. With many an eye shining from unshed tears, and with warm hand clasps, the Seniors gave their best friend and advisor to the Navy. Everyone was sure that if Mr. Halsey made as good an Ensign as he did an advisor the war wouldn't last long. The next sacrifice for the war was when Adelbert Tucker was drafted into the Army in the early part of March. Doris Mudge replaced him on the bench of the Student Court. Due to the absence of Mr. Halsey, Miss Larky has headed the senior class. Miss Larky is to be congratulated on her excellent leadership. The class has shown great interest in sports, and has been well represented in intermural activities. Many of the boys contributed their skill for the H.L.C.S. athletic teams. Melvin Cowles and Adelbert Tucker were track squad members, while George Sutliff and Henry Denton played on the baseball teams. Henry and Rex. also brought fame to the Soccer team. Now that our graduation looms ahead of us. we aren’t so sure that we want to leave H.L.C.S., the good times we had, the friends we made and activities in which we participated. We hope the rest of our lives will go as pleasantly as the years we have spent here. 'Junior Class Miss Lois Woodhull. Advisor President .... Vice-President Secretary Treasurer .... ...

With the O.D.T. ruling on transportation, soccer was the last varsity sport to get under the line by H.L.C.S. Many other schools were worried by the threat from the league, leaving only Stillwater, Burnt Hills, South Glens Falls and Luzerne to fight for the coveted title. The personnel of the squad suffered like disturbances. Coach Townsend had already lost six of his seasoned veterans. Since the soccer season, Coach Townsend enlisted and was commissioned by the U. S. Navy; Grant Bethel enlisted in the A.A.F.; and Paul Champagne, Kenneth Deuel, Loren Dingman, Truman Fuller, Walter Hast ings, Clarence Smith, and Lawrence Wyman, other members of the squad, have all gone into essential industry. As a result of only four teams being in the league. Luzerne played one practice game with South High and the three league games. Of these, the Eagles won from Stillwater on their home field, lost to Burnt Hills away, and tied South High on our home field. This gave us third place in the league. Something new has been added! In addition to the coveted interclass trophy this year students have been working to build up their own scores on the new individual point system. This system is still in experimental stages, but has worked out satis- factorily ar.d may lead to something more inviting in the future. The main idea is to encourage students to participate in interclass and intramural activities, win for him- self or his team and at the same time earn points on his own record of which he may be proud. Points are given for participation and also for the place that the particular team or person takes in a certain event. The events which earned points for the boys were: mixed volleyball, volleyball, soccer, 6-man football, table tennis, checkers, chess, winter carnival, softball, play day, basketball, and physical fitness track and field club. With basketball and track still to be counted the following boys are leading, with points, in the first ten places: Leslie York. 78 and Keith Monahan. 74Vs. Philo Smead, 73. Norman Pulver 72; Robert Dingman. 69; Melvin Cowles. 68Vfc; Fred Gardner. Ray Liebl, and Dale Masner, 67V6 and Henry Denton. 66Vfc. The events for girls were: mixed volleyball, volleyball, speedball. table tennis, chess, checkers, winter carnival, softball, play day and physical fitness club activities. The ten leading places are held by: Elizabeth York. 73 13; Nancy Hughes, 72 1 3; Joyce Rozell. 68 1 3; Grace Perkins, 67 1 3; Florence Evens, 64 13; Beverly Eckert, 59 13; Joyce Goodness, Marion Ormsby and Tune Morehouse. 57 1 3 and Jeanne Bethel.

Of course, it was the seniors getting ready to go to New York City with Mr. and Mrs. Ted Clemons as chaperons. After what seemed like days we arrived at Grand Central Station where Mr. Van Zile and his aides met us. He immediately got us into taxis and we were on cur way to the Hotel Taft where we registered, received our keys to our rooms and were whisked out to get something to eat. After a very satisfactory lunch, we were taken to see the Statue of Liberty. It was a long climb to the top but some cf us made it. You could see miles and miles from the eyes of the Statue but the best part of the afternoon was yet to come. We had to take a ferry boat to and from the Statue and from the way some of the boys talked, they probably would make mighty poor sailors. After getting our legs back under us we went to the Empire State Building. Going up, 86th floor, here we come. Taxi cabs and people were ants playing a game of tag on the street below. The early evening found us at the Fred Waring program at the Vanderbuilt Theater. After the broadcast, Fred Waring put on a hour program which we all enjoyed. When the program was over, we couldn’t think of bed, for New York was New York and we had to see it even if it was the middle of the night. The class split up, the girls going their way and the boys theirs. Friday morning at 7:00 the telephone rang and the operator told us to get up. Her warning didn’t help any, for at 7:30 she called again and really meant it this time. Our morning tour took us to LaGuardia Airport where the girls could barely resist the aviators’ uniforms. After our noon meal, a guide took us around Riverside drive, Grant’s Tomb, upper and lower New York and China Town. That night we saw one of the greatest shows ever produced, the Rocketts at Radio City. After their perform- ance, we saw the picture. “Flight For Freedom” which proved to be very interesting. Radio City was the greatest work of architecture that any of us saw. The Bronx Zoo was scheduled for us on Saturday morning where we saw many of the things that we had studied about for years in school. The rest of the day was free for sleeping or shows. Easter Sunday we were scheduled for church, but they were all so packed we had to give up the idea. That afternoon we spent in Coney Island. We all agreed that we needed more money and time before we would be tired of the place. That night we went to the “Fitch Band Wagon” broadcast where we heard Abe Lyman’s band. We all decided it was even better to see than hear. Monday and Tuesday our time was our own. The girls made use of it by shopping for silly hats while the boys ate pie and startled the salespeople at Macy’s by buying a dog collar and bone for our mascot, Melvin Cowles. While we were in New York, we had several visitors. Miss Olivet. Miss Larky and Miss Jackson came to offer their services as guides: former schoolmates in service. Floyd York who tried to lose us in the subways, Henry Howe. Emmett Murphy and Ken Deuel also dropped in. The seniors will remember the trip to New York for the rest of their lives. It was one of the greatest experiences we have had.

He milks a few cows and then goes back to bed. 6:30 Henry gets out of bed so he will be ready to go to school on time—and his motiier faints from the shock. He goes back to bed. 6:30 Barney gets up to take care of his fortune in chickens. Does it pay? 8:00 Henry makes another attempt to get up and catch the school bus. 8:15 Jean gets up. spanks the baby and hurries for school. Did someone say hurry? 8:45 A few seniors drag themselves to the English room and go back to sleep. 9:05 Miss Larky gets into high gear after thirty minutes English—she never waits for the bell. 9:45 Jean starts a hot fight with Miss Woodhull. A few seniors join in and the rest finish their sleep. 10:05 Marcia saunters for the typing room and dreams out a letter for Shiel. 10:05 Oscar. Bennie and Madge go to Rep. class for their daily gab session and Art lesson. 10:20 Joyce and Marcia go to shop to use a bandsaw to cut band iron—that’s a woman for you! 10:50 Betty Eisen is wondering what Shippee is doing at that moment. 11:25 Half of the senior class is in homeroom and Miss Larky is sending after the rest. 11:30 Student Council. Rex. George and Hank start their weekly revision of the Constitution. 12:05 Crash, bang, wham! Three seniors arrive at the lunch room with assorted scratches and bruises. 12:25 A great hubbub arises among the senior girls over who is going to play soft ball. 12:45 What’s this, a senior class meeting in the back booth at Barb’s? 1:05 The senior girls lose the ball game and blame the other side. 1:10 Sig and Joyce wander back to homeroom. Still spending ycur noons writing letters, girls? 1:15 Doris is reading that letter from Hank for the tenth time. 1:20 Kingsley stops writing on the valedictory speech, cusses the thing, and wished the bell would ring for classes to change. 1:30 Janice is still working over her letter to Millard. What a man! 2:00 Delea comes in with a brand new excuse for not having her shorthand done. 2:30 Hiram tells George that he w:n’t shave for a week if George won’t. Since when did shaving become a daily affair, anyway ? 2:45 The seniors make a dash for their last class. Of course, they always hurry to class anyway. 3:30 The bell rings. Look at those seniors go! The teachers wonder where they got the sudden energy. 3:40 Bonnie patiently waits for the seniors to shut up so they can be excused. Bend down, kids and get those papers eff the floor. 4:30 Willy arrives home in Stony Creek and starts his daily stint in the saw mill. That’s really helping the war effort. 9:00 The seniors (theoretically) retire at the end of a strenuous day.

First to go was Grant Bethel of the junior class. Grant went to Missouri as a P.F.C. in the Air C:rps and is now at Myrtle Beach Bombing Range, South Carolina. In December Principal Townsend enlisted as a Lieutenant, junior grade and started immediately on his studies at Princeton. He is now stationed at Little Creek. Virginia, where he is in the amphibious forces. Shortly afterward, librarian, English teacher, senior advisor and humorist Halsey went back to school at Harvard as an Ensign in Naval communication. At last rep:rt he is neck deep in study of the Morse Code and related work. On March third, the senior class lost their incomparable square-dance caller when Adelbert Tucker jo.ned Uncle Sam s Army. He is now stationed at Fort Bragg, North Carolina and is doing guard duty. Last year’s faculty and graduates now in service include: First Lieutenant Ra� ph J. Stanley, now of the U. S. Army Air Forces stati ned in the Pentagon Building in Washington, D. C.; Sec:nd Lieutenant Allan F. Rosebrock of the Air Forces Fort McClellan. Alabama; Cpl. Leon W. Ormsby, Naval Air Technical Training Center. Marine Corps. Memphis, Tennessee; A.S. Fred O'Hare is at Sampson Naval Base; P.F.C. Arthur Brewer, 3 C. George Ackley of the U.S.S. IOWA; Seaman Class roptjecp Five years have passed since we walked up to the altar—to receive our diplomas. Yes. those were the days when we could always play pranks on the teachers, and chew gum illegally. Now. as we glance around the globe we stop first at Schenectady. Whom should we meet cn the street but Madge, now Mrs. Russell Pulver, going shopping to get the kiddies some new overalls. Russ had quite a time snagging her as she was always allergic to Navy blues but that’s all past now. and they seem to have settled down. Next stop. Buffalo. Here we visit Doris, now Mrs. Henry Howe, and family. Henry is engaged in the airplane factory and doing well for himself. On to New York City. Hotel iaft. Room 884. Janice, the present Mrs. Ray Newton, and hubby are busy recalling memories cf their first meeting in ’43. Hold on to your hat. here we go again, off to the West Detroit. Still plugging away at a typewriter and manless, here sits Joyce, carrying on her main career of man-hunting. Don’t give up, Joyce. Now let’s mosey over to the wash rack of Ramsey’s Garage. Take it easy on the sponge. Kingsley (and he is st II a bachelor). Hop aboard, folks, here we go—Manchester, Illinois—all out! Were hungry, so let’s bizz over to the Ostrich Club! Haven’t you seen that head wa ter before? Why yes, it is none other than our own Rex Cotherman. He was quite a Don Juan back in his school days, but he said that he hooked that cute little blonde he met in 43. On to California we go. Here in Hollywood we find Hank Denton with a well established career as clerk in the “Signor and York Cut Rate Market.” Yes. also in Hollywood is Delea Signor. After marrying Floyd York she acquired a contract with “Who Done It Pictures, Inc.” her hubby acting as Publicity Agent. Button my shoe, if it isn’t George Sutliff with a ten year contract with Merry Music Makers. Inc. That boy’s singing really got him places! Now let’s drop down to Mexico. Here we see Melvin! Well, look at that Rosita he has. Nice going. Oscar! Up we go again to Texas. Care to watch a Beauty Contest? Well, tag along with us. Look at that girl the third from the end on the right. Her face is familiar. Yes, it’s Betty Eisen. and with her figure she can't miss. Well, she didn’t and Mr. Shippee and La Betty plan to go on their second honeymoon with her prize money. Keep it up, Betty. Next stop. Arkansas—to meet Mr. and Mrs. Marge Shiel. Back at Hubby’s hometown, but only temporarily. They are planning a trip around the world as both are travelers at heart. Mickey will give lectures on the “Pitfalls of a Gambling Career.” As we leave Arkansas, let us review our tour. New York, Illinois, Mexico. Texas and oh. yes. We mustn’t miss Washington. D. C. Upon arriving there we discover that the visit isn’t complete without going to that swanky new night club “The Irishman’s Haven,” owned and operated by Kenneth Deuel, Esq. The story is that a good share of the brains behind it though, belong to his efficient secretary. Miss Elizabeth Wood, for- merly of Athol. What a career girl she turned cut to be. Well, enough of night club bing in the nation’s capital. We wondered if anyone in the class of ’43 is left in Luzerne. Let us look and see. Maybe not Luzerne but Willy Hastings is still in Stony Creek and has become a very prominent lumber magnate. As we glance around the various Dude Ranches it becomes apparent that Jean is no longer around. In fact, she and “Murph” are living in Massachusetts where they started a new experimental high school in which the students advise the teachers. They say Emmett is very interested in his work and Jean inspires and helps him with her practical applications of psychology. And so ends our global tour and with it our prophecy for the class of ’43. It seems to have spread far and wide but we always knew our class would really go places in the world. Class Will We, the Class of 1943 of the Hadley-Luzerne Central School, after spending four memorable, enjoyable, hilarious, unforgettably argumentative, elegantly improvident years, extremely diligent in the pursuit cf knowledge, ever eager to please, do now present the following to our successors and do so declare it to be our one and only will. Joyce Ramsey wills her boisterous laugh to Sarah Eastwood. Kingsley Waite leaves his aloofness to “Bev Eckert. George Sutliff hands over his hill-billy ballads to Sarah Fuller. Betty Eisen bestows her gum cracking on Wayne Perkins, and her trips to Conklingville on absolutely no one! Delea Signor wills her flittery actions to Pat Been. Janice Smead leaves her ability to sway the opposite sex to Les York. Doris Mudge proudly wills her witty remarks to the teachers. Make good use of them. She also wills her ability to get the third finger, left hand, properly dressed to Vera Brewer. Marcia Davis leaves her daily music lessons with Myron Wood to Mabel Estey. Better start practicing, Mabel. Melvin Cowles wills his collar and bone to next year's Mascot. Hank Denton bestows his fascinating influence on the girls to Seth Hill. He gladly leaves his banking ability to next year's treasurer. Rex Cotherman leaves his boots and saddle to “Gib Bosford. Take it easy. “Gib.” Madge Parker condescendingly wills her seat in the Schenectady bus to anyone who can get it. Her height she bestows on Mary Weiss. “Willy” Hastings leaves his track ability to Philo Smead, and to Charlie Shuman he wills his shyness. Jean Andrews leaves her tardy slips to Howard Hawk. Bonnie Wood bestows her right to shop in the A. P. Saturday nights to all the interested girls. (Finis) (Signed) Melvin Cowles Class President In the Presence of Abraham Dawes. Class Lawyer ■
