VOLUME I960 SEVEN HARRISVILLE CENTRAL SCHOOL FOREWORD Milleniums ago, there appeared on this planet a creature unlike all others. His was not a servant's blind obedience to nature and instinct but a master's purposeful use of both. Providence, it seemed, had fashioned him to rule all that he encompassed, but, in its wisdom, had deemed it sufficient to instill in his heart the longing to reach the stars . Man's initial efforts were directed to his immediate physical needs. From Nature, he wrested the warmth and fury of fire; in the strength of the ox and the wonder of the wheel, he found a substitute for his overtaxed muscles; in stone, he found a medium to proudly hew with ingenious signs and symbols the history of his struggle; in metals, he found the substance of his plow and spear. Throughout these seemingly common endeavours, his gaze was never for a long time away from the more sublime for the compulsion to reach the stars was one which even the love of home and the specter of war could not destroy. And so it was understandable that after centuries of reaching Man should at long last stand on the threshold of victory. FIRE DEDICATION MRS. MARJORIE FULLER A gold watch is traditionally given an employee who has worked diligently and productively at his tasks over a long period of time. Unfortunately, we have no gold watches to present this faithful employee . We do, however, wish to show our gratitude and that of the many students whose good fortune it has been to have had her as a teacher by proudly and yet humbly dedicating this issue of the PIRATES LOG to her. Mrs. Fuller, a graduate of Potsdam State Teachers’ College and holder of a B.S. degree, is this year celebrating her twenty-fifth anniversary in the teaching profession. The last eleven years of this dedicated person have been spent in our midst here at Harrisville Central School. Please accept the sincerest congratulations of the Staff, the student body, the faculty, and the citizens of this fine community.

McSweeny Assistant advisers: Mr. Robert Lang and Mr. Marcel LeBlanc REGENTS SCHOLARSHIPS Unfortunately, there were no winners of Regents Scholarships this year. Two Seniors, however, have placed as alternates and stand an outside chance of benifiting from such grants if a sufficient number of the original winners fail to avail themselves of their scholarships. Donald Rose, competing with St. Lawrence County Seniors is listed as twelfth alternate. Nine of the win- ners won engineering scholarships in addition to the regular Regents Scholar- ship. They must accept but one of these. Douglas Quackenbush, as a resident of Lewis County competed with students from this county. He placed sixth among the alternates. There is also a possibility that he may yet receive a scholarship if, again, a number of the original members do not choose to make use of their grant. Once again the staff and its faculty adviser wish to remind all students that the best time to start thinking in terms of scholarships and advanced schooling is way back in the ninth grade. This is especially true now since competition is expected to be keener with each succeeding year. SENIOR class will Senior Class, being of sound mind, is proud to bequeath its prized pos- sessions and accomplishments to members of the other three classes. RIPLEY wills her ability to go steady with one boy and still go out with another to PEARL SCOTT. CARL CLARK is the proud receiver of JAMES PHILLIPS� flat top. k-FATHA GRAHAM leaves some of her cheerleading ability to SANDRA VALENTINE so K that she may be a regular cheerleader next year.

JUDY BRADISH favorably disposes of her talkativeness to DORA RYAN. Because of a contemplated diet, JAMES WRAY wishes that TERRY KILBOURN may re- ceive his next year’s lunch ticket. MALEN LaCROSS bestows upon GARLAND BERCKLEY his oil painting technique. PETER BLANCHARD wills his scientific brain to BARBARA MANCHESTER to be used to its fullest extent. JOHN NACCARI bestows upon FRANCIS ROUNDS his fortunate characteristic that not all girls can get their arms around him. Upon being asked, SHARON FRASER will whisper her secret of winning queen elections to KAREN MAZUROWSKI. RICHARD BEST, to SHARON WEAVER, his typing dexterity. DAVID COLLETTE wishes that he could present to GARY WILLIAMS his goatee, but he can’t because it’s real.

KAY HOOLEY bequeaths her new hair-do to CONNIE BEST. MARCIA HOOLEY’s immediate love for the dark can be owned, but not shared, by JOE RITZ. ELTON WOOD hopes that any future basketeer may not have the unfortunate ex- ' perience of doing fifty laps around the gymnasium. CAROL SWEET wills her knack of retaining a steady to MARY ALICE FRANK. STEVEN RIPLEY resentfully leaves his Toni hair-set to JOHN WAUGH. MICHAEL EARL hopes that LARRY GAINES will acquire some of his quiet personal- ity so that he may get and keep a girl.

SHARON RITZ favorably disposes of her nickname of Lizzie (acquired from Mr. McSweeny) to BARBARA WILLIAMS. DONALD ROSE leaves some of his ability (a gift of last year’s class) to solve math problems to LESLIE PIKE.

Homeroom teacher: Mrs. Berta Langs DECLAMATION Oft November 12, 1959, the annual American Legion Oratorical Contest was held in the High School Gymnasium at 2:35 P.M. There were three participants. Curtis Hlad delivered an oration entitled HOW THE CONSTITUTION WAS WRITTEN AND HOW IT WAS ESTABLISHED. Pearl Scott had chosen WHY THE BILL OF RIGHTS as her topic. Donald Rose, a winner in several previous contests, spoke on THE SURVIVAL OF THE FITTEST. In the opinion of the judges, Donald delivered the best address and was awarded first prize. The other contestants, however, also were awarded prizes since there were three prizes being awarded and only three participants. Pearl Scott received a copy of Webster's Collegiate Dictionary and Curtis Hlad, will receive a copy of this year's PIRATES LOG. Donald was unopposed in the county contest. He, therefore, collected all the marbles and moved on to Syracuse where, according to good source, he did this school and county justice. The local contest was under the supervision of Mr. Robert McSweeny.

Un- fortunately, the weatherman was reluctant to provide suitable cold weather. There was enough ice, however, to prove that everyone ap- preciated this fine gesture. This is the type of wholesome recreation which children of all ages welcome. Dig out those old blades, gramp! And granny, you might as well come along also.

Elizabeth Jones and Mr. Marcel LeBlanc, and with the interested co- operation of the then Principal, Dr. Boyden, initiated a program for the betterment of academic achievement in our school. Briefly, the plan provides for the awarding of shields similar to the one at the right to students in the High School who maintained an average of £5 or better in their scholastic or academic subjects. Seniors who have maintained such an average over a four-year period are entitled to receive a blazer as a reward for their scho- lastic efforts. This year, the rules have been further liberalized so that a Junior who has maintained an average of 90 or better during his first three years in high school receives his blazer at the end of his third year.

Homeroom teacher: Miss Mildred Mannigan ASSEMBLIES As has been the practice for the past several years, a series of paid as- sembly programs was offered students in both the elementary and high school divisions of Harrisville Central. Students in the elementary school were treated to an exhibition of drumming by Mr. Alan Abel. High school students listened attentively to the stories of Captain Paul Dry, a Merchant Marine officer, who presented a program on sea lore. Both groups also attended talks and demonstrations by Mr. William Parsons whose specialty was Birds and Nature. A second double” program was offered by Mr. Gary Randolph, a dancer who traced the history of dancing in America. The assembly, however, which proved most popular was one staged by the com- bined fifth grades under the direction of Mrs. Forkey and Mr. Canning. The students of these two grades took us on a trip through several foreign lands. What impressed most of us was the credible use of each country’s native tongue.

Homeroom teacher: Mrs. Jennie Wood ANNUAL ART STAFF This year’s PIRATES LOG Art Staff can be summarized in one name: David Collette. The end sheets were his first assignment as this year’s artist. Few will argue that these are not near-perfect. His second task was to create the ’’little character”, Man, whose endearing profile and inverted V physique you have seen throughout this edition. We believe that he has been as equally suc- cessful in this second undertaking as in the first. A great big and loud well done, mate .

For a number of years, the Carthage Chapter of Elks has awarded to outstanding student leaders of neighboring schools a twenty-five dollar savings bond as recognition for their ability to guide and lead. School authorities, upon recommenda- tion of the Guidance Director and the Faculty, submit the name of the school’s superior student. From the area school winners a student is selected whose name is then entered in state competition for State Youth Leader. As we go to press, we do not know who has won this singular honor this year.

Fund was held in the High School Gymnasium on Satur- day, February 27, I960. Since its inception several years ago, the Loan Fund has had as its main function the helping of students who wish to continue their education but who lack sufficient funds. Because of the limited amount of capital at its disposition at the present, it has had to limit the amount of its loans but it hopes that in the future this amount may be substantially increased. There have been three requests for assistance up to the present. In all instances, the Student Loan Fund Committee, chaired by the Vice-President of the PTA, has approved the requests for funds. One such loan, however, was not consummated when the student decided not to enter college. May we take this opportunity to remind all current graduates and former students that this Fund is available to all. Need of financial assistance and sincerity are the only requirements. Many thanks to the PTA for this, one of its finest projects.
