It assists in creating mental capabilities. Our education begins the development of the mind and character. This depends primarily on the accumulation of knowledge and helps determine success and happiness. One's education helps him to locate himself in society. Because of schools and teachers, students are able to begin their formal education. As a result of the basic concepts imparted to students in the schools, each person has the oppor- tunity to gain leadership and achieve some measure of fame. Formal education, however, is only an Initiation to the unique evolution of man. Since the eighteenth century higher education has become of increased impor- tance throughout the world. New directions have exerted a greater influence on political, social and economic relationships. Extracurricular programs in the schools have added to the enrichment of each individual. These programs have been designed to develop individualism. Thus, with the expansion and continuation of the educational system and with the help of God and man, Let each become all he is capable of being . DEDICATION Mr. Lyman Humes Mr. Everett Powers The Pirates Log Staff and the Harrisville Central School Teachers' Association are proud to dedicate the 1969 edition of the Pirates Log to Mr. Lyman Humes and Mr. Everett Powers. These two fine gentlemen had had a full and interesting life long before they were added to the auxiliary staff as custodians in 1946. Together, they have more than a half century of service to our school. The presence of a custodian generally goes unnoticed and quite frequently unappreciated until a lamp burns out, a desk drawer sticks, a window shade refuses to stay up, a locker door defies opening. He is expected to be an electrician, a plumber, a carpenter, a doorman, a postman, a delivery boy, a mechanic, in short, an expert in a dozen or more facets of maintenance. Were it not for him, the school would not be comfortably warm on a cold winter's day; the boards, regularly cleaned; the walks, freshly shoveled; the floors, immaculately poIi shed. We wish Mr. Humes and Mr. Powers a long and happy retirement. We are indeed fortunate to have had both with us for so many years. ADMINISTRATION Mr. Peter N. Be t ru s, p â–  i I i C A C Miss Dorothy Hickey Supervising Principal rKINLIrALO MtobAOt Secretary The most important single phenomenon in our times is the knowledge explosion . In these days of extremely rapid change society looks more and more to the schools as a remedy for all social problems. Every crisis in our history has brought increased responsibilities to our schools. Never in all our history has education been so important and the pres- sures been so great upon our adolescent youth as it is today. Our yearbook is an indication of excellence in education. Year after year Mr. LeBlanc and his students print one of the finest yearbooks in the state. My con- gratulations to this year's editor and staff for their outstanding publication.

A pert and very pretty young lady from Sao Paulo, Brazil, was our school's second exchange student for 1968-69. She arrived in December also. Among the courses which she took while In Harrisville were English, Social Studies and French. She commented that school is much easier here than in hep native Brazil where she is required to take eight courses. Besides her parents. Miss Langendonck's family includes a brother, Ricardo, seventeen years old, Thais, fifteen, and Marco, thirteen. Miss Langendonck stated that she likes small towns such as Harrisville but much prefers cities. Sao Paulo, her hometown, is the largest city on the South American continent. Small towns, she continued, are nice for restful vacations. What has especially delighted her while in Harrisville has been the snow, which Brazil lacks. She likes her introduction to skiing and American food, although it is very much different from South American food. Miss Langendonck is a very active young lady. She delights in ballet, good music, dancing, the guitar, swimming, horse riding, rowing, ping-pong, miniature golf, and beach tennis. When applying to be selected as an exchange student. Miss Langendonck had expressed a preference for New York, Wisconsin, or Michigan. We are thankful that New York, and especially Harrisville, were the final sites chosen. We wish her great success in life. She will long be in our thoughts.

LUIS OLANO OF LIMA Seated (left to right): Michael, Margaret, Mrs. Dooley, Mr. Arthur Dooley, Dave; Standing: Mr. Luis Olano of Lima, Peru, and Patricia. Late in December, Harrisville and Harrisville Central School welcomed a fifteen year old Peruvian young man by the name of Luis Olano, better known to us as Lucho. As the days passed and we became better acquainted with Lucho, it was apparent that we had in our midst an alert and witty South American. The barrier of language was soon overcome and Lucho became an active and an appreciated member of his host family, Mr. and Mrs. Arthur Dooley and their four children. Lucho's fam i Iy ’consists of his mother, Mrs. Amanda Olano, and a brother, Miguel, who is eighteen and who also was an exchange student in New York. Before coming to Harrisville, Lucho attended a military academy. His ambition is to become an electronics engineer. While at H. C. S., our guest was enrolled in English, Typing, Algebra, Problems of Democracy and in Mechanic and Electric Shop. Asked what his impressions of Harrisville were, Lucho answered that he liked Harrisville because the village was pretty and the people were all so friendly. Lucho's hobbies include stamp collecting, soccer, basketball, surfing, and snowmob i I i ng. We consider ourselves fortunate to have had him in our midst. ) Suzanne Suzanne LaDuc Homema king Cheerleader 2-3-4 Drama Club 2-3 Future Homemakers of America, President 4 Girls' Chorus I-2-3-4 Girls' Soccer I Prom Queen 3 Student Cou nc i I President 4 Twirling 3-4 Penny Freder i ck Penny LaFave Homemaking-Vocat ionaI (Cosmetology) Newspaper Staff Frederick Langs Science-Shop Baseball 2-4; Mixed Chorus I; Newspaper Staff 2-3-4 Francis LaPlante Math-Science Baseball 3-4; Basketball I-2-3-4; Class President 2; Class Secretary I; Mixed Chorus I-2-3-4; Mixed Chorus Play 3-4; Soccer 3-4 Marsh i a LaVancha Homema k i ng Vocational (Cosmetology) Drama Club 2-3 Newspaper Staff 2-3-4 Pirates Log Staff 3-4 Future Homemakers of America 3-4 Bus i ness Club 3-4 Ranald Luther French-Ma+h-Science Baseball 4 Baske+baI I I -2-3-4 Class President 1-3 Newspaper Staff 3 Pirates Log Staff 3-4 Soccer 3-4 Sandra Sandra Luther Vocational (Office Practice) Band I; Business Club 3-4; Drama Club 2; Girls' Chorus I-2-3-4; Newspaper Staff 2-3-4 Peggy Macagg Vocational (Cosmetology) Future Homemakers of America 4; Girls' Chorus 3 Carol Manchester Business-Homemaking Business Club 3-4; Future Homemakers of America 4; Newspaper Staff 2-3-4 Peggy Dennis Manchester Bus i ness-Math Band I-2-3-4 Baseball 4 BasketbaI I 2 Bye-Bye Birdie Chorus Mass Chorus 3-4 Mixed Chorus I-2-3-4 Mixed Chorus Play I-2-3-4 Carol Dennis CINDY IRISH SELECTED AS HARRISV ILLE'S FIRST EXCHANGE STUDENT; SELECTS MEXICO CITY Left to right: friend of host family, Senora Ram irez-Garcia, Cindy, Cesar, son of host family, friend of the family, Toni, a friend, and Senor Ram irez-Garcia. During the summer of 1968, Cindy Irish, daughter of Mrs. John Irish and a Senior at Harrisville Central, spent ten weeks as a guest of Senor and Senora Ramirez- Garcia of Mexico City. Cindy had selected Mexico City as her first choice since she wanted to go to a large city. Her stay in this beautiful Latin American city was not without many memorable events. The Summer Olympics were being held in this capital city; there were two earthquakes during which a number of buildings crumbled and countless windows were broken; student riots resulted in many deaths and considerable property damage. Asked about Mexican food, Cindy stated that breakfast did not differ from our own American breakfasts. Lunch and dinner were combined into one large meal, taken between three- thirty and four-thirty. It consisted of soup, fruit drink, at times wine or beer, bread (similar to rolls), vegetables, meat or fish, rice and at times potatoes, and fruit. At nine-thirty in the evening, a snack of cookies, sandwiches and a drink was taken. For entertainment, there were fiestas on Friday and Saturday evenings, bull fights, roller and ice skating, bowling, movies (32 t) and church organizations. Girls are not al lowed to go out without a chaperone. Cindy concluded by saying that the people were very friendly and Cindy and Mexican friend hospitable.

We returned to the win column with a 3-1 decision over Clifton-Fine. The next game proved to be a double overtime scoreless effort against Colton. At this point, both teams remained un- defeated. Next we went to Indian River. The Harrisville offense proved too strong for the host team as we easily won, 5-2. In a close battle, we took a 4-2 double overtime win from Edwards. The next game was against Knox of Russell. We won the contest by a 3-1 margin. St. Regis next came to Harrisville fired up and almost upset us. We finally emerged the winners in a rough game. Goals by Dundon and Jenack provided the edge we needed for a 2-1 victory. A 3-0 win over CMfton-Fine paved the way for a return match against Colton, both teams at that time sporting a 7-0-1 record. In a tough game, we were bested, 3-0, and dropped to second place. We suffered our second league loss in our final game, a 5-4 setback at the hands of Edwards. The J.V. squad twice defeated Indian River by 6-0 scores.

The purpose of a junior varsity squad is to teach young players the fundamentals of the game and to provide them with the opportunity to test their newly-acquired skills against an opponent who finds himself in much the same situation. The young players are generally clumsy but always eager to try again even after repeated setbacks. There is no better way of building courage and character! Glancing over the statistics for the season, we glean the following interesting facts: our best quarter was the third quarter in our second encounter agaisnt Edwards (17 points); we scored more points in the third quarter than in any other one quarter (129); we failed to score a single point in four quarters; two players scored better than 100 points (Bowen and Arnold); two players scored between 25 and 50 points (Fraser and LaPlatney); our worse quarter was the initial quarter (69 points in 14 games); we won three while dropping eleven.

The level of proficiency obtained reflects the seriousness or levity with which this endeavor is approached on the part of the student. Granted that there must first exist some talent but talent without an effort at its cultivation will rarely be more than latent. Music is offered by Mrs. Virginia St. Lawrence in the elementary grades. Mr. Krick also guides students of the upper elementary grades in their first contacts with a musical instrument. However, it is at the time that a student enters the Junior High that the first screening takes place. At this time, students who show promise are provided with the opportunity to become members of the Junior High chorus and band groups. Others, who show less promise, are quite often per- mitted to continue since some talent develops more slowly than expected. The two groups on this page will furnish the musicians of coming years. GIRLS’ CHORUS The Girls' Chorus has improved year by year. Proof of this ever-growing ex- cellence can readily be seen if one examines the record of this group's ratings at the annual chorus and band competition. In 1955, for example, the Girls' Chorus recetved a grade B in Class II. By I960, the rating had reached grade A. The group then competed in Class III, receiving an A in its very first attempt in this higher level competition. It then moved to Class IV music and in two years had been awarded an A rating. As is Mrs. St. Lawrence's policy, the group moved up another notch after receiving an A. Since 1965, the Girls' Chorus has competed at the Class V level and has received no rating lower than B. The Mixed Chorus presented its annual musical play on Friday, November 8, 1968. It was a two-act effort entitled. The Ingenue. Leading roles were played by Sherry Higby, Debbie Cring, Patsy Blanchard, Gary St. Lawrence, Dennis Manchester, Susie Hirschey, Allan Bowen, Chris Carvel I, Carol Wheeler, Lynn Martin, Frank LaPlante, Gary Mealus, and Wendy Kilbourn. The other members of the Mixed Chorus ably supported the leading artists with a variety of we I I-rendered songs through- out the production. Following the well-attended and financially successful play, the cast and its director, Mrs. St. Lawrence, relaxed at the Sahara Restaurant. Although students may forget dates and historical events in future years, they are not likely to ever forget their participation in Mixed Chorus plays!

The Senior Band, under the direction of Mr. Les Krick, continues very active both in and out of school. It has performed commendably in numerous parades, in- cluding a special parade in Potsdam where it had to fight the elements in the form of a pesky snowstorm. It was again Invited to participate in a parade staged in Utica but, unfortunately, was unable to accept the invitation. However, it has provided the music at several local holiday celebrations. In school, the band performs at practically all special occasions and assemblies such as the Thanksgiving and Christmas assemblies. It stages several concerts for the benefit of the local population. The band also took part in the Oswegatchie Valley League Mass Band and Chorus workshop. Five of Its members were selected as performers: Christina Carvel I, Michael Backus, Bryan Miller, Suzanne Hirschey, and Joseph Beaudin. In addition, several members of the band took part in the community musical production given last spring which was entitled Bye Bye Birdie . Needless to say that the band could not have achieved the measure of success It has known without considerable practice. Its members must devote many hours of their leisure to perfect themselves in their chosen instrument. Twice a week the members meet during eighth period to rehearse as a group. It is to the credit of the director and the members that many difficult pieces have been successfully challenged and mastered. These Include substantial compositions by the great masters as well as modern jazz numbers.

Although the Elementary School Band is composed of young musicians in the fifth and sixth grades only, it shows promise of filling the chairs left vacant in future years by their older brothers and sisters. Mr. Les Krick, who also directs the Piratones, Junior Band and Senior Band at the high school, guides these young people through their first contact with a musical instrument. For many this ac- tivity provides a rewarding adjunct to their regular studies in the classroom. In addition to the band, much is done in vocal music under the direction of Mrs. Virginia St. Lawrence. Many long hours of practice and learning the funda- mentals of choral singing are rewarded by the overflow crowd which yearly crowds into the Elementary School gymnasium for the Christmas operetta. This year's of- fering was Santa and the Spacemen . Leading roles were ably filled by Larry Gutierrez, Russell Bowen, Joseph Irish, Joan Bennett, Martin Ledger, Anne LaParr, Sandra Manchester, Carl Weaver, Margie Lancor, Theresa Pike, Monica Maxwell, Shel- ly Ward, Ralph Swem, and Larry LaParr. Members of the kindergarten provided the material for a tiny tot choir; the Mars' Men were first graders; Black Nomes, second graders; Detectives, third graders; Clowns, third graders; Neptunians, fourth graders; Jupiter Men and Moon Maidens, fifth graders; Venus Maidens and Carolers, sixth graders. The operetta was delightfully done. As we go to press, the Newspaper Club is busy readying the third edition of this year's journalistic venture. A new name has been adopted for the publication. It Is now called the Pirates Press. Mr. Beamont advises the group.

Under the guidance of Mr. Campbell and Mr. Mitura, the Student Council enjoyed another fine year. On October 16, the newly elected officers attended their first district meeting at Jefferson Community College. Mr. Clark Hamlin, clerk of the Board of Supervisors of Jefferson County spoke to the assembled officers on local government affairs. On Wednesday, November 27, a special Thanksgiving program was staged for the student body by the council. President Suzanne LaDuc acted as mistress of cere- monies.The Senior Band opened the program with stirring renditions of such compo- sitions as Kentucky 1800 , The Thunderer , and the Washington Post March . The vice-presidents of each class gave a short talk on the meaning of Thanksgiving. The Girls' Chorus and the Mixed Chorus followed with Donkey Serenade , Blue Moon , Gallant Men , and Friendly Persuasion . Allan Bowen gave a short talk on his experience at Boys' State. Cinda Irish followed Allan with an illustrated talk of her Mexico City trip as Harrisvi I Ie's 1968 exchange student. Dr. Neil, the main speaker of the program, gave a most informative and interesting talk on Thanksgiving. The special activities closed with a hilarious musical presentation ' a la Tiny Tim and his band by Misters Mitura, Langdon, Beaumont, Parow, and. , rick. Unfortunately, Ed Sullivan was not in the crowd! The Christmas program, now a well-established tradition at H.C.S., ended 1968 on a note of optimism and joy. Musical selections by the Piratones, the Mixed and Girls' choruses, the seventh grade French class and the student body as a whole filled the air with merriment. Santa handed out free lunch tickets to a dozen or more students. After a very fine turkey dinner, a vicious attack was made by sev- eral faculty members and school employees on the candy-filled box suspended from the ceiling. All In all, the student council had had a very fine year. LUCHO AND ROSANA REIGN AT SWEETHEART BALL SPONSORED BY STUDENT COUNCIL STUDENT COUNCIL ELECTIONS ATTRACT MANY CANDIDATES King Lucho and Queen Rosana The gymnasium was artistically decorated student cou nc i I . On the eve of Valentine Day our two 1969 exchange students, Rosana Langendonck of Brazil and Luis Qlano of Peru were crowned queen and king by Suzanne LaDuc, president of the student council, and David Dooley, vice-president of the organization. Joe Dundon presented the queen with a bouquet of roses. Gifts, borne by Mark Parow. son of Mr. and Mrs. Stewart Parow, and Susan Smith, daughter of Vice-Prin- cipal and Mrs. Frederic Smith, were presented to our South American guests. The evening of dancing drew a sizeable crowd. The girls looked lovely in their gowns. The boys, neatly attired in suits, reminded many of the handsome lads one sees on valentines. The music for the evening was furnished by the Blue Tones of Carthage. The musical se- lections chosen by the group were in keeping with the occasion, in a hearts' theme by members of the Numerous candidates from the four high school classes vied with one another for the four major offices of the 1969 Student Council. Campaign managers worked fe- verishly for days preceding the election to sell their candidate to the student body. Numerous posters covered the bulletin boards and most of the wall space. For the most part they extolled the virtues of the candidates on whose behalf they were posted. A few sought to minimize the attractiveness of the opposing candidates. The candidates were introduced to the student body in a special assembly. The candidates them- selves presented their platform for the approval of students. Heated debates followed some of the more controversial proposals. Although the campaign was heated and hard-fought, the losing can- didates were quick to congratulate their victorious opponents and, true to political tradition, vowed to support the newly-elected of- ficers to the best of their abil- ity. The winners themselves promised to better the lot of all. Candidate Jane LaPlatney addresses crowd DEER POPULATION SUFFERS LITTLE AT HANDS OF H.C.S. NIMRODS October was barely a week old when many a Harrisville studenf and faculty member showed signs of having contracted big game fever . Listening to their ever-increasing verbosity (delirium and hallucinosis are known to be symptoms of this fever ), one got the impression that living room walls had already been freshly painted, that the plaque which would serve as a mounting surface for the trophy was already sanded and varnished. There but remained the for- mality of venturing to one's favorite spot in the woods, taking aim, and downing the prized animal. Alas, the words of these one-every-year hunters got fewer and fewer as October gave way to November and November to December. The only person who had a smile on his face at the close of the season was the successful hunter pictured on the left. Better luck next year!!! Steve Lancor and his 165-pound 6-pointer FIELD DAY CONTINUES TO DELIGHT YOUNGER SCHOOL POPULATION Years ago Field Day brought together students from the scat- tered rural schools for a day of frolic and fun. The best runner from each school tried to best his counterpart from the other schools. Sack races, softball games, horseshoe pitching, and countless other athletic con- tests were staged, much to the delight of students and parents. Today, the rural schools are gone, but field contests have rema i ned . Com- petition is now among the chi Id- ren of the dif- ferent grades. The homemade re- freshments have given way to more sophisticated foods and drinks. The one element that has not changed is the eagerness with which the young students give their all in an effort to win the blue rib- bon! It would be impossible to list all the events and all the winners. Suffice it to say that many who have lost at the winning tape have far out- distanced their victors at the re- freshment stand. But then, warm and fresh air has a tendency to whet the appet i te! MASS BAND AND CHORUS PERFORM IN HARRISVILLE FOR FIRST TIME EVER Several years ago member schools of the Oswegatchie Val- ley League initiated a Mass Band and Chorus. The purpose of the organization was to pro- vide an opportunity to the top students in the vocal and in- strumenta I departments of each school to gather once a year and present a varied musical program to the public. Selec- tions were chosen by the band and vocal music teachers of the six schools, rehearsals were held in the individual schools, and, on a given Saturday, all students convened for a full day of practice. This year Mr. Gordon Harrisville was selected as the Mathie site of the concert. The date was set for September 28, 1968. On that date, scores of performers from Colton, Clifton-Fine, Edwards, Parishville, Knox, and Harrisville gathered at the Elementary School. The Mass Chorus rehearsed under the direction of Mr. Charles N. Burmaster, Music Supervisor at Watertown High School. Mrs. Alice Hance accompanied at the piano. The Mass Band was under the baton of Mr. Gordon Mathie, Brass Instructor , Crane Department of Music, State University College at Potsdam. Selections sung by the Mass Chorus included Adoramus Te by Palestrina, Go Tell It on the Mountain and Ma Petite Canadienne , both by Harry Simeone, six folk songs by Brahms, and There's Nothing Like a Dame by Rodgers Hammerstein. The Mass Band performed the Seaway Valley March by Frackenpohl, a Fantasia on Lady of Spain by Evans-Hunsberger, an Irish Folk Song Suite by Erickson, American Folk Rhapsody by Grundman, and Totem Pole by Osterling. Participating for Harrisville were: Chris Carvel I, tenor sax; Mike Backus, French horn; Bryan Miller, Suzanne Hirschey and Joe Beaudin, cornets; Dave Dooley, trombone; Cindy Irish, Kathy Atkinson, Patsy Blanchard, so- pranos; Dotty Blanchard, Carol Wheel- er, Wendy Kilbourn, altos; Allan Bo- wen, Gary Mealus, Dennis Manchester, Dale Best, Mike Dooley, tenors; Gary St.Lawrence, Lynn Martin, Joe Dundon, Danny Farney, basses. HALLOWEEN RATHER QUIET THIS YEAR! No unusual characters invaded Harrisville this year. Even the on-again-off-again parade attrac- ted few marchers! Parties were held in the elementary homerooms. Prizes for the best costumes were awarded as in previous years. Refreshments were plentiful. Con- sumers did not seem to be lacking e i ther. At the High School, a costume judging was held after those in attendance had groped their way through a darkened corridor. But- tered handrails, an eerie corpse, and a noisy exit disturbed some of the less brave. The corpse was still warm!!!! I don't frighten you now, do I? An ecumenical meeting!!! The placard declared: I'm against every- Who said the days of the hobo were thing! Everything, it seems, except eating! gone forever? GRADE SCHOOL STUDENTS AT WORK AND PLAY The day of an elementary student is full of surprises, be it preparing one's own break- fast, putting together a book about trains, or just remaining still for a moment or two while one's picture is taken. RETIRING CUSTODIAN FETED AT SURPRISE TESTIMONIAL DINNER, FEBRUARY 26, 1969 Mr. and Mrs. Humes at head table Mr. Humes, assisted by Mrs. Humes, cuts first pieces of giant cake baked in his honor to mark his retirement. What had been planned as a quiet testimonial by the non-teaching staff quickly mushroomed into an expression of appreciation by all personnel associated with the school In addition to the honored guests, Mr. Lyman Humes and his wife, Grace, other notables at the head table included Mr. Carl Ripley, President of the Board of Education, and his wife; Mr. Peter Betrus, Supervising Principal, and his wife; and Mr. Everett Powers, long a fellow-worker of Mr. Humes, and his wife. The long l-shape table, which extended into both parts of the cafeteria, was completely filled with members of the teaching staffs of the Junior Senior High and the Elementary Schools. Mr. Humes's co-workers were also present in large numbers. These included secretaries, bus drivers, cafeteria workers, and fellow-custodians. Mr. Humes, who first joined the staff in 1946, was praised for his devotion to duty, his gentlemanly conduct, his quiet concern for others, and his loyalty to the school. It was apparent that the tributes with which he was being showered moved him greatly. It was also apparent that he was overcome with surprise for the testimonial had been kept secret, so secret indeed, that Mr. Humes, who normally leaves the school building at seven- thirty, had to be restrained from leaving by Mr. Powers and Mrs. Humes Called upon to say a few words, Mr. Humes recovered sufficiently to jest: I didn't realize so many see me retire! the deliciously he was persona I Iy all in attendance. we shouId perhaps of my retirement. To was overwheImed. peopIe wanted to At the end of prepared d i nner, congratuIated by We feel that let Mr. Humes express his feelings in his own words. He stated the following in a letter addressed to the Principal, the teachers and the non-teaching personnel: Thank you for the fine supper say that it was a complete surprise is an When I was called on to reply, I was still in given in honor understatement a stupor. My thanks to Mr. Betrus and Mr. Ripley for their kind words. My thanks to Helen (Frank) and Delores (Young) for their labor and to the non-teachers for the billfold-key caddie set. Also to the teachers for the purse of money. My thanks to all for many years of pleasant association. Thanks for coming to the party. It gives me a very warm feeling. Needless to say that the staff of the PIRATES LOG and the student body in general wish Mr. Humes many years of happy retirement. Coach Weaver, between halves, gives players pointers to improve play of booters Action on the soccer field is fast! The race from one end of the field to the other, and back again, really tests the physical fitness of any player. Even the fans, watching from the side- lines, are often breathless! The most active person at a soccer game, however is very frequently the coach. His emotions run the gamut from desperation at a missed play to sheer elation at a series of we I I-executed passes which might result in a score. The two photographs at the top of the page leave little doubt that on one of the two occasions the Pirates are ahead. The harried look in the second photo- graph could indicate that our booters have fallen behind! When the final whistle has blown, coach and players have reason to be proud if, in addition to fine sportsmanship, the game has been won .

Robin Hathway and Karen Gonio seem to be looking far in the distance! Could it be they await the right moment to glide down the slopes? Saturdays are also for fun and relaxation! Breathes there a man or a boy who could not relax with a sporty red Mustang. Ask Mr. Mulligan pictured above.
