Remember ? Many moons ago, when we were Frosh, we had the huge sum of 36 in our class. Now we are down to the point where we don’t talk about our number. Remember? Those were the days when Seth Hill and Bob Cotherman made news (and history) by their mischievous ideas in how to dismantle a room, i.c., take all the seats apart. And Danny Scott used to be “beat up” every day by the afore- mentioned. Remember? Now Seth Hill is in the submarine service in the South Pacific, where, no doubt, he gets all the excitement and adventure he wants. Bob is working in the mill, and waiting for the Army to give him an address next fall. Danny? Why, he’s working, too, in Woolworth’s in Saratoga. Since we’ve covered the noisier of our little group, we should now give space to those who most of us hardly knew were in the class. Joyce Smcad is at home, taking her ease, smart girl; Anna Dean is working part time—the rest is spent at home; Harriet Allen is working in the shirt factory; and Milt York is in the Army, stationed in South Carolina. Larry Wyman—Remember him? He’s been in the Marines and out again; now, he’s out west. Harold Le Barron, the quietest of them all, is a sailor now— in Australia. It’s amazing how some of them get around. Remember the Boismcrts? Louis is in the Navy, too, and Lucicnnc is working in the shirt factory. “Me no Jap, me Chinese.” Sounds familiar, doesn’t it? Ken Duel used to recite that by the hour, before he left us to marry Bonnie Wood and became a sailor-—or was it vice versa? Probably everyone knows that Harris Stone is working in the mill when not in “Barbs” and that Caroline Guilder (Shuman) and Milly Grimes are making their fortunes in the glove shop. Elton Smith! Dear old “Prof” as he was known as, remember? is working in Schenectady since his Merchant Marine discharge. Ima Smith (Red) is married and a mother already! Another Red to take the fatal step is Lorna Eddy, now living and working in Warrensburg Has anyone forgotten Mabel Estey, the “little girl” who had to stretch to get her 5 feet in the WAC’s? How could we? Bill Brown, far and above the best dresser in the class (remember those sweaters?), is working in the mill, too. That place must seem like school with so many of the class of ’45’s “ex’s” there. Milford Baker is working there, too, while Clark Baker is cutting pulp for his father. Ina May Moore, the only one with the courage of her convictions (?) is going to school in Conifer, N. Y. What became of “Tuck”, you say? Why Myron (Tucker) felt the call of the sea, too, and joined up just about a year ago. He was the one to always get the last word in—Remember? , We think our class is pretty good (don’t all classes?) but we know that it would have been about half as good, except for the contributions you have all made, to make us a “class”; we’re glad to remember you!

Back row: Fred Forster, Hollis Wood, George Vickery, Arthur Wendell, Clyde Rollman, Doris Vogt, Coach. Front row: Fred Gardner, Fay Paul, Charles Shuman, Charles Taylor, William Frasier, James Hughes, Norman Pulver, Billie Walsh. Sports, like everything else this year, suffered the effects of the war. “Only essential traveling” caused soccer and basketball to be dropped from the list of varsity sports. The baseball team, however, entered the Saratoga County League and scheduled one game each with Greenwich, Corinth, South Glens Falls, Stillwater, Ballston Spa and Schuylcrvillc. Coach Doris Vogt guided the destiny of the team throughout the season. For the second straight year there was no competition for interclass trophy but there was an intramural program under the direction of Miss Vogt. Under this plan each student won points toward his record if his particular team won. Points were given for participation and also for individual placing in certain events. The events which earned points for the boys were: mixed volleyball, winter carnival, basketball, softball, soccer, six-man football and table tennis. The events for the girls were: mixed volleyball, specdball, table tennis, winter carnival and softball. Among the highlights during the past year were the colorful winter carnival and the exciting table tennis tournament. Seventeen
