PIRATES LOG STAFF (from left) Front: Shirley Swem, Lee Ann Hoover, Cathy Ford, and Laurie Hamlin; second row: Kim DeHart, Lisa Vallencour, Connie Lancor, Cathy Ritz, Dixie Jenack, and Karen Ritz; back row: Audrey Hooper, Don Jenne, Maurice Hobart, Charles Swem, Tom Dickinson, Terry Johnston, Randy Leonard, and Debbie Buckingham. The PIRATES LOG staff wishes to extend its thanks to the many people who make its publication possible. Greatly appreciated is the cooperation of the faculty who, with few exceptions, provide it with much valuable data and who show themselves most under- j standing when it must impose on them by disrupting m ' their activities or classes for picture-taking. The financial backing of its advertisers is also treasured since, without it, it would be without a publication or, at best, an inferior one. It also holds in high esteem the student body for its continued interest in the PIRATES LOG. There would be little point in producing a yearbook if it did not receive the support of its own peers, a support which it experienced again this year when forty entries were submitted in the annual yearbook cover design contest. Finally the staff wishes to thank Mr. LeBlanc, its adviser, for his willingness to continue in this capacity year after year. It realizes that he sacrifices many hours, especially on week-ends, to insure the successful completion of its book. While others are hunting, snowmobiling, skiing, or otherwise engaged in leisurely pursuits, he is very often to be found in the photo lab or at the typewriter working on the PIRATES LOG. The staff also wishes to thank Mrs. Dusharm for the use of her department's fine new typewriter. Jimmie Shampine who won this year's cover contest. DEDICATION 1974 The combined membership of the 1974 PIRATES LOG and of the Harrisville Central School Teachers' Association is proud to dedicate this, the twenty-first edition of our school's yearbook, to Mrs. Jane J. Scott whose almost thirty years of dedicated and conscientious service to education in general and to the Harrisville Central School District in particular, as a first grade teacher, make her a most deserving choice for this honor. Mrs. Scott, a graduate of Potsdam State, began her career in education in 1945 in Fort Covington. She joined the Harrisville faculty in 1955 after service in the Hogansburg and Wells District, Pitcairn, schools. She has always been active in professional and church organizations. All join us in extending to her sincerest congratulations and in wishing her many more years of service to our youth, our school, and our community. MRS. JANE SCOTT ADMINISTRATION Mr. Peter N. Betrus, chief school administrator, came to Harrisville Central School in the fall of 1959 after serving a number of years as principal of the eastern New York community of Mineville. He had previously coached in a Mohawk Valley school. Mr. Betrus matriculated at Albany State where he was granted both his bachelor's and master's degree. Five of his seven children are graduates of Harrisville Central. He has also been active in North Country sports circles in addition to his involvement in the field of administration. f i Mr. Lloyd Dashnaw Elementary Supervisor BOARD OF EDUCATION Mr. Larry Frank Guidance Counselor and Vice-Principal Mr. Dashnaw joined the staff in 1959. He completed his undergraduate studies at Brockport and has a Master of Science degree from Potsdam. Mr. Frank is completing his second year at H.C.S. and has a B.A. and an M.S. from Albany.

Of considerable help to the homeroom teachers at the Elementary School are a large number of parents who come in on special days to help with the preparation and supervision of special programs throughout the scholastic year. Among these special programs are those which occur at Halloween, Thanksgiving, Christmas, Easter, Field Day, and Moving-Up Day. Needless to say that the lending hand provided by these parents is deeply and sincerely appreciated. What might other- wise be a chaotic experience for the homeroom teacher becomes an hour or two of pleasurable entertainment. NEW FACES ON FACULTY Miss Sharon Adamkoski Miss Donna Russell Miss Eileen Collins Miss Roxann Finley The Junior-Senior High faculty has four new members all of whom are June 1973 graduates. Miss Sharon Adamkoski, whose home is Amsterdam, New York, is a graduate of the State University College at Plattsburgh. She teaches mathematics. She coached the girls' soccer team. When not engaged in school work, she enjoys guitar, sewing, needlework, and swimming. Miss Donna Russell, a native of Marcellus, New York, has an associate degree in library science from Maria Regina College and a B.S. in science from Nazareth College of Rochester. In addition to sponsoring a Science Club, Miss Russell is a Girl Scout leader and a member of the Lake Bonaparte Conservation group. She enjoys scuba diving and swimming, the guitar, and refinishing furniture. Miss Eileen Collins, who completed her undergraduate work at the State University College at Buffalo, hails from Macedon, New York. She teaches art at both schools. She has many interests such as weaving, drawing, writing, hiking, sewing, reading, and languages. Miss Roxann Finley is from neigh- boring Gouverneur. She advises the student council and also coached the girls' soccer team. She likes sports. Miss Brenda Jones Miss Kathleen DeBoalt Miss Joan Haver Mrs. Marlene Clark Four new faces also grace the Elemen- tary School faculty. One of these, Mrs. Marlene Clark, has returned after an absence. She is teaching one of the third grades. She is a graduate of the State University College at Potsdam. A native of Cherry Valley, New York, Mrs. Clark lives in a former rural school with her husband, John, and their five children. She is active in com- munity affairs and is a past president of the Fortnightly Club. She enjoys sewing and knitting for her family and making Methodist pickles . Miss Brenda Jones is starting her career in teaching as a fifth grade teacher. Miss Jones is not a newcomer to Harrisville as she attended school in this community before entering the State University College at Potsdam from which she graduated in June 1973. She is a member of the Harrisville Bowl- ing League and enjoys reading in her leisure moments. Miss Kathleen DeBoalt is a 1972 grad- uate of the State University College at Oswego. Miss DeBoalt, who hails from North Syracuse, did substitute teaching in the North Syracuse Elementary Schools and the Central Square Elementary Schools last year. She lists bowling, knitting, and reading as her avocations. Miss Joan Haver, a native of Carthage, did her undergraduate work at the State University College at Potsdam. She is also in her first teaching position. She enjoys reading and candle collecting. Mr. Seymour and Mr. Tarr When a young man or a young woman elects to make teaching his or her career, a number of courses are needed to school the aspiring teacher in the methods of the subject he is specializing in. The importance of these classroom courses cannot be minimized but, in the final analysis, practical experience in the classroom under normal teaching conditions is vital. Neighboring schools, therefore, generally open their doors to provide this experience to student-teachers . In the past, Harrisville has extended an invitation to a number of such student- teachers. This year we were fortunate in having with us two students from Potsdam. Both arrived in September and left in mid-November. Once in Harris- ville they were assigned to what the profession calls master teachers to begin a period of observation and con- sultations. These initial weeks provide an opportunity to these young people to assess the methods employed by the ex- perienced teacher so that they may better integrate their techniques to that of the master teacher and thereby lessen the shock to the students. Then comes the day for which they have so diligently prepared, i.e., the first day of actual teaching. Needless to say that one awaits this day with mixed feelings. There is the elation felt at finally being on one's own but also the appre- hension of not knowing if one can suc- cessfully meet the challenge. It takes only about five minutes under fire to reassure the student-teacher and the students taught that all is in good hands. And so it was with our two student-teachers. Reports have it that they discharged their duties more than adequately. Mr. Glen Seymour was not altogether unfamiliar with our community as he has relatives living in this village. He attended Syracuse University in the summer of 1970, completed two years at Canton ATC, and will graduate in May from the State University College at Potsdam. Following graduation, he plans to visit England and, if lucky, as he puts it, teach Social Studies in a secondary school in the fall. Single, Mr. Seymour devotes his leisure to sailing, horseback riding, and mountain climbing. His master teacher at Harrisville was Mr. Tarr. Mrs. Donna Braley, a native of Oxbow but now living in Star Lake with her husband and daughter Michelle, will graduate from Potsdam in December to which she transferred after attending two and a half years at Oswego. She plans to teach math at the Junior-Senior High level as a substitute at first and then full time. Her master teacher was Mrs. Cring. Mrs. Cring and Mrs. Braley CADET TEACHERS SPEND TEN WEEKS WITH US MRS. FULLER AND MRS. CLARKE RETIRE Early in the spring of 1973 Mrs. Marjo- rie Fuller announced her retirement from the Harrisville Central School faculty. She had served as junior high social studies teacher in the system for the last twenty-four years. She had previously taught in St. Lawrence County schools for almost eighteen years. Mrs. Fuller was a graduate of the State University College at Potsdam. Throughout her teaching career she had continued to take in-service courses. She was especially interested in and well-versed in local Harrisville history and had innumerable facts and anecdotes at her ready command concerning county and area lore. As a teacher, Mrs. Fuller's quiet ways were admired by her colleagues. Also known were her undying interest in educa- tion and her genuine concern for all students. Very often, former students would stop to chat with her, to reminisce, or to settle some point in dispute. Mrs. Fuller is the wife of Kenneth Fuller. The Fullers have a son, Donald. Just recently they have moved to a new home on the Harrisville-Fine Road. Mrs. Fuller was recognized several years ago for her devotion to the school and the students when the PIRATES LOG was dedicated to her. During the summer of 1973 Mrs. Helen Clarke, an elementary teacher, also retired from the staff of Harrisville Central School after twenty years of service locally. After completing her teacher-training schooling at what was then Potsdam Normal, Mrs. Clarke, in 1931, accepted her first teaching position in Champion, New York. It is interesting to note that she was invited as an honored guest recently when the old school house where she first taught was dedicated after being restored to its original state. After leaving Champion, Mrs. Clarke taught for a few years in the Carroll District on the Croghan Road and then at the Stern- becker School near Lake Bonaparte. Mrs. Clarke has six children, two of whom have followed in her footsteps and are now teaching. At latest count she had nine grandchildren. Mrs. Clarke has had little difficulty keeping herself occupied since her retire- ment. In addition to the many enjoyable hours spent with her children and grand- children, she devotes considerable time to reading by the fireplace, knitting, crocheting, and needle point. The 1973 PIRATES LOG was dedicated to Mrs. Clarke. Mrs. Fuller cuts first piece of the happy retirement cake presented to her by the Teachers' Association. Mrs. Clarke helps herself to a serving of fruit salad. In the background are Mrs. Hoover, Mrs. and Mr. Kellerhals. Mrs. Hoover and Miss Collins. Mr. Kellerhals, Mr. Parow, Mr. VanPatten, and Miss Adamkoski. Mrs. Valentine, Mrs. Scott, Mrs. Duggan, and Mr. O'Bryan. To those who might want to claim that our faculty thinks of little else than homework, we offer these few candids to prove otherwise. Mr. VanPatten (below) seems to be saying that, he, for one, has little time for refreshments. Mr. VanPatten.

The white pieces do not have to be on white squares, Roy. Missy Bibler reserves the right to keep her Fine friends. Brownie Brown, to Kate Hoover, his boats. Deb Buckingham, to Dixie Jenack, her Saturday nights. Or did she say her Saturday knights? Sandy Butts, to Kim Baker, her brother Larry. Cat Chartrand, to Gordon Grigg, permission to sing his song. Fitting bequest if Gordon can find the melody. Gertrude Chartrand, to Joe Irish, her vanity. Gary Coffie, to John Moody, his perfect attendance. John claims to be doing very well on that score. Marsh Fuller, to Mr. Parow, her love . That's Mr. Stewart Parow, of course. His hair did it! Tom Dickinson, to Carl Pierce, his ability to give Coach Folsom a headache. T. J. Dowling, to Gary Jessmer, his tool pouch. You'll have to provide your own tools, however, Gary. Big Al Farr, to Tracy Jones, his ability to lift weights. Patti Foley requests a little more time to think the whole question over. M. A. Hobart, to the Freshmen, the torture of Mr. Rod Parow's study halls. Maurice seems to have weathered them quite well. Lucy Hoffman, to anyone who can hack it, H.C.S. Tin Grin Hooper, to Theresa Pike, her baby powder . Lee Hoover, to Darrell Seymour, the rental shack and its equipment. That's right, Darrell, it's better to give a customer two skis of the same length. Cheryl Jackson, to cousin Vickie, all the fun she's had in life thus far. D. J. Jenne, to Monica Maxwell, his paint brush. Squeak Johnston warns that he is coming back and adds that all should beware. Now, why would he want to come back? Polock Kaminski, to Pete Wood, his complete disregard of harassment whatever the source. Pambulla Kilbourn, to John Wescott, her ability to do wheelies in her wheel- chair . Bile Langs, to Terry Irish, the path to Rathbone's hill. Susie LaParr, to Ronnie Patnode, a good swift kick. Why would anyone want to treat poor Ronnie that way? Stubby LaPlatney, a tape recorder to provide Joe with a debating opponent. Len Leonard, to Jay Seymour, his goalie stick with oversize blade. Frank Luther, to anyone, his broom. Meatball Mealus, to a kind soul, his car, if he can start it. Ren Richer, true to herself, leaves waving good-bye. Cath Ritz, to Kelly Dundon, her smile whenever needed. Nicki Whitney, a great debt. Stinker Whitney, to Steve Jesmer, his conviction that the Johnson is the best snowmobile made. EXCHANGE STUDENTS IN LATIN AMERICA (from left): Mariella Gonzalez, Lee Ann, Alehandro Gonzalez, Menita Gonzalez, and Giga Gonzalez. These were some of the children of Senor and Senora Alfredo and Aura Gonzalez, Lee Ann's host family in Venezuela. During the summer of 1973, Lee Ann Hoover, a member of the Class of 1974 and daughter of Mr. and Mrs. Harold and Shirley Hoover, was one of two exchange students from our school to spend ten weeks in South America. Lee Ann was the guest of the Alfredo Gonzalez family of Valencia, Venezuela, a city some two-hours drive from the capital city of Caracas. In addition to her guest parents, Lee Ann had eight brothers and sisters. The two oldest Gonzalez children, both girls, are married. The family also included two brothers, age sixteen and twelve, a fourteen year old daughter, and three younger girls. Her guest father is the operator of a cafe in the heart of the city. He plans to open a second cafe in a near-by city. While in Venezuela, Lee Ann did not attend school as the students were already taking their finals when she arrived. As such, she was able to travel quite extensively throughout the area and the country and to come in con- tact with many. She learned a lot of Spanish , as she stated upon her return. (From left): Maria Elena Aguirre, Senor Hugo Aguirre, Debbie, Senora Marietta Aguirre, Gina Aguirre, and Lucho Aguirre. Lee Ann presented a fine program of slides and com- ments to the student body and to a number of clubs and organizations in Harrisville during the fall and winter months. This stay in South America was one of the finest experiences of her life, an adventure she will treasure for the rest of her days. Senor and Senora Gonzales. Our second exchange student was Debbie Buckingham, also a member of this year's graduating class and the daughter of Mr. and Mrs. Gary Buckingham. She spent her ten weeks as guest of Dr. and Senora Hugo Aguirre in Guayaquil, Ecuador. Her father is an obstetrician who owns a hospital and a cosmetics factory. She had two brothers, Hugo, married on Debbie's birthday while she was in Ecuador, and Lucho who is nineteen and who had spent four months in Pennsylvania. She also had two sisters, Maria Elena, a girl of eighteen who had also spent some time in the United States, and Gina, who is fourteen. Because of the visit of her brother and sister in our country, Debbie states that she had no language problem. She did learn a considerable amount of Spanish, nevertheless. Concerning Guayaquil, Debbie states that it provided quite a contrast to Har- risville since Guayaquil is a metropolis of a million or more inhabitants. There was considerably more to do in a community of this size. She took full advantage of the situation and attended a number of soccer games, dances, movies, and parties. The movies, oddly enough, were in English with Spanish sub-titles. Debbie also visited Salinas Beach and accompanied a number of other exchange students on a tour of the heart of the Andes. The group stopped in Quito, the capital of Ecuador. During this tour, Debbie had the experience of standing on the equator, of seeing an active volcano, Cotapaxi, and of viewing the highest mountain in the country, Mount Chimbaraso. Both Debbie and Lee Ann stated that one of their biggest problems was adjusting to the food. Not only were they temporarily taken aback by the different nature of the food itself, but the change in the hours of the meals also caused some re- adjustment. Dinner, for example, was at two and usually consisted of beef or poultry, rice, bread, soup, corn on the cob or a salad, with fresh fruit or pastry for dessert. One item which Debbie says she now misses is the variety of fresh fruit which her guest country provided, for example, fresh pineapple, coconuts, papaya, bananas, and native fruits. The poverty which both girls encountered while in their host country made them all the more appreciative of the abundance which exists in the United States. It has also made them more sympathetic towards the poor of our own country. (from left) front: Kelly Buckingham, Mr. Buckingham, Senor Rodrigo Antonio Leao Bahia, Mrs. Buckingham, Marty Buckingham; back: Gary Buckingham, Debbie Bucking- ham, Kevin Buckingham. Shortly before Christmas, the Buckingham family added a son to their group in the person of Senor Rodrigo Antonio Leao Bahia, a native of Bello Horizonte, Brazil. Senor Bahia, who is fifteen, is the son of Senor and Senora Roberto Bahia. He has three sisters, all in school, and two brothers, also in school. Rodrigo's father operates a blanket factory with his brothers in Bello Horizonte, a city of some two million inhabitants. He also owns a farm in the country, a fact which accounts for Rodrigo's fondness for horses and horseback riding. Rodrigo, like all true South Americans, loves soccer. Since coming to Harrisville he has also acquired a liking for basketball as a spectator sport, he adds. He mentions the fact that he has gained over eleven pounds in less than a month. He attributes this gain to the fact that he is now the son of a grocer and eats all the time . In addition to horses and soccer, he enjoys music, reading, and swimming. He is in the process of learning to ski. We wish Rodrigo much success in his studies when he returns to Brazil. HOOVERS HOST EXCHANGE STUDENT (from left) front: Senorita Magna Maria Machado da Costa, Mr. Hoover, Mrs. Hoover, Karen Hoover; back: Chris Hoover, Lee Ann Hoover, Kathy Hoover, and Keith Hoover. Mr. and Mrs. Harold Hoover, whose daughter was an exchange student in South America during the summer of 1973, played hosts to a charming nineteen-year old young lady from Brazil, Senorita Magna Maria Machado da Costa, daughter of Senor and Senora Manuo Brasil da Costa. Senor da Costa is an officer in the Ministry of Finance in Rio de Janeiro. Senorita da Costa has two brothers, one of which, Roberto, resides in Philadelphia where he practices medicine. Mario, the second brother, is a student in Brazil. Senorita da Costa has completed her high school studies and hopes to enter a university upon her return to her native land. She plans to major in biology, most likely in the botanical sciences. While in high school, she studied the sciences, history, geography, French and English, and a host of other subjects. She has also done two years of study in the theater and has had roles in several productions as a student. Asked about American food, she replied that she likes all of them, having been exposed to them in South America already. She expressed a liking for music, movies and travel. She definitely does not like to cook. The Hoover family and the school were most happy to have had her with us.

Members of the sixth grades sold popcorn, pretzels, potato chips, corn sticks, and candy. They realized a profit of seventy-five dollars which was turned over to the Foreign Student Ex- change Fund. Winners of various contests were awarded prizes for their superlative efforts. The list of winners is much too long for us to attempt to record it here. Activities started at nine-thirty and ended at two-fifteen.

Activities KING RANDY QUEEN DEBBIE PROM ROYALTY DEBBIE BUCKINGHAM AND RANDY BROWN On June 2, 1973, the Class of 1974 held its prom in the High School gymnasium. Music was provided by the Shades of Rhythm . The theme of the prom was Adiron- dack Spring . The gymnasium was tastefully decorated and represented many hours of toil by the members of the class and their advisers. Attendants to the king and queen were Missy Bibler, Trudy Chartrand, Marcia Cowles, LeeAnn Hoover, Renee Richer, Anne Whitney, Tim Chartrand, Tom Dickinson, Bob Kaminski, Chuck Langs, Randy Leonard, and Tim Scanlon. All who attended paid high praise to the class for a fine evening of entertainment.

During the first semester, the Student Council sponsored a dance and four movies. A campaign pledge to have a chocolate milk dispensing machine installed was also realized. Following a precedent set some years ago, the SC sponsored the annual Christmas assembly. Again this year, the responsibility of keeping the ice cream machine filled and operating properly fell upon the members of the organization. On January 12, the membership of the SC spruced up the drab lockers in the halls by painting designs on the doors. As we go to press, the SC is attempting to bring together various neighboring student councils to discuss problems af- fecting all schools and student council organizations. It is also trying to restore Seated: Trudy Chartrand, Secretary; Anne Whitney, President; open seating at as- Theresa Pike, Treasurer. Standing: Joe Irish, Vice-Pres. semblies.

On January 9, 1974, two members of the Class of 1974 and ten members of the Class of 1975 were inducted into the Lake Bonaparte Chapter of the National Honor Society at a special assembly held in the gymnasium. A good rep- resentation of the parents of the inductees attended as well as the students in Senior High. Mr. LeBlanc, faculty sponsor of the local chapter, welcomed the crowd and explained briefly the procedure which leads to selection for membership in the National Honor Society. He then called the successful candidates. Certificates of membership and honorary passes were presented to the new members by Mr. Betrus. Mr. Mayer, retired principal of Edwards C.S., delivered the main address. The ceremony closed with the administration of the oath. Following the assembly, new members and guests attended a reception in the Homemaking Suite, which had been prepared by Mrs. Hoover and her homemaking girls. Mr. Herman Mayer, retired principal of Edwards C.S., (left) was the guest speaker. MIXED CHORUS Pictured on the left are the tenors (upper left), the basses (center left), and the altos and sopranos (lower left) of the Mixed Chorus.

When the Vocal Music Department, under the direction of Mrs. Virginia St. Lawrence, stages a musical play, all available chairs must be pressed into action since the production is generally well worth attending. This year's Mixed Chorus play was no exception. In addition to those pictured on this page, others who had leading roles were Trudy Char- trand, Dixie Jenack, Patty Dooley, Theresa Pike, Tracy Jones, Randy Brown, and Marty Ledger. Other members of the Mixed Chorus provided numerous selections to supplement the efforts of the main cast. A special word of thanks must also be given those who helped backstage with sound and lights, curtain, scenery, costumes, programs, and tickets. The Belle of Bagdad , a musical play in two acts, provided the Mixed Chorus members hours of enjoyable preparation. J GIRLS’ CHORUS Under the direction of Mrs. St. Lawrence, the Girls' Chorus again this year ap- peared in a number of concerts and assemblies. Pictured above, on the left, are the first sopranos, and, on the right, the second sopranos. Below, the altos. The group interpreted such songs as I Am Woman , Anthem for Spring , The Summer Knows , For Once in My Life , Cherish , and coutless others.

ICE CREAM SOCIAL A SUCCESS Mr. and Mrs. Hunter, and Mrs. Frank. A very successful ice cream social was held in the gymnasium of the High School in the spring of 1973. Mr. Van- Patten and a selected group of his musicians provided entertainment for the many adults and students who stopped in for ice cream, cake, and lemonade. Proceeds were turned over to the Foreign Student Fund to help defray the expenses of their stay in South America. Sandi and Susie Smith, and Tina Dafoe. Sarah Mills and sister Arlene.

Four Seniors and five Juniors participated in St. Lawrence University's ninth consecutive Talented High School Juniors Program last fall. They joined a total of eighty-eight other students from thirteen North Country high schools in the op- portunity for advanced study on a college campus. They were selected on the basis of academic records and the recommendations from teachers and counselors. They attended two-hour classes each Saturday in four different subjects. Mr. Cleveland drove them to the campus each week. Cathy Ritz, Lee Ann Hoover, and Marty Ledger attended a course entitled Human Behavior which was taught by Dr. Melvin P. Enns, assistant professor of psychol- ogy. This course was again this year one of the more popular offerings. Joseph Irish, Kim DeHart, Laurie Hamlin, and Maurice Hobart were enrolled in American Law and Courts , a course taught by Dr. Bernard J. Lammers, associate professor of government. Although they seem to have had much more homework to do than did those in the other courses, they admitted enjoying the course. Danny LaPlatney and Lisa Vallencour attended the Computer Science course, under the guidance of Dr. Wayne R. Park, assistant professor of mathematics. They were somewhat disappointed with the course but still found it a worthwhile experience. We are indeed fortunate that a university of St. Lawrence's caliber is concerned with the intellectual development of our young people and is willing to help them grow in knowledge. Dan LaPlatney, Tim Chartrand, Renee Richer, and Cathy Ritz man the spatulas. Photo at right features sausage queen LeeAnn Hoover. The quest for funds to finance a Senior trip begins in ninth grade but finally reaches its climax in the twelfth year. In addition to the traditional magazine and Christmas card campaigns, numerous other activities must be sponsored to guarantee that the treasury will be sufficiently full. The Class of 1974, there- fore sought to raise money by staging a series of theme dances such as the Fifties . It also staged a pancake and sausage breakfast during the hunting season, an event which proved somewhat less than successful as only a handful of customers appeared for a well-cooked meal. Most of the ventures, however, rea- lized a substantial profit. SENIORS EARN MONEY FOR TRIP Don Jenne, Bob Kaminski, and Tim Char- Karen Hooper and Marcia Cowles return trand at the dishwasher. to Fifties in support of Senior dance. FINE ARTS NIGHT REVEALS MANY TALENTS II Wm m PLACE Y(M ORDER HERE v 1 i James Cook, John Wescott, and Lane Garrow accepted orders for wooden toys built by Industrial Arts students. On November 28, 1973, three departments pooled their students' talents to offer to the public an evening of entertainment and viewing of projects. The band and a jazz group performed in the gymnasium. Many examples of art and woodworking were exhib- ited in the cafeteria. Refreshments were provided by the homemaking girls. Although the crowd was small, those who did attend were well rewarded for their appearance. Mr. VanPatten conducted the Senior Band through several musical numbers in the auditorium. One of the highlights of the exhibition was Miss Collins and Mrs. St. Lawrence George Clark's hovercraft. George's many admire the many examples of student hours of work were rewarded several days later art which were exhibited in the when he flew the craft in the school yard. cafeteria. The studio art class went to the Munson- Williams-Proctor Institute in Utica in late October. Shows at the time featured lithographs by Bruce Manwaring. By a happy coincidence the Thirty-Sixth Annual Exhibition of Artists of Central New York was in full swing. The students also had an opportunity to view the permanent collection of the institute. A slide show surveying art trends through history was shown and a lecturer guide accompanied the group through the museum. The highlight of the trip was the exhibi- tion of Regional Artists, a contemporary collection of painting, fibers, photographs, and sculptures. Among the innovative works were a square foot from the bottom of Lake Erie , a sculpture of a phone booth, and a modern-day Adam and Eve entitled The McIntosh Caper . Miss Collins accompanied the students.

Each student who was enrolled in a shop course was given one 303 can, an empty half-gallon milk carton, two rubber bands, one wire coat hanger, one newspaper page, three used nails, one square foot of cloth, two ice cream sticks, and four bottle caps. With these materials he was to construct a device which was either func- tional, amusing, useful, revolutionary, absurd, charming, unique, political, or just plain creative. The results may be seen in the photograph above. CHESS CLUB The interest generated by the Fisher-Spasky encounter resulted in the formation of a chess club under Mr. Rathbone's sponsorship. In April, a double elimination contest was staged to determine who would go to the state contest. Lance Atkinson, Russell Bowen, and Joseph Irish emerged the winners. After a good showing in the state competi- tion, members of the club have met Beaver River C.S. twice and have won both matches. They are now trying to arrange future contests. STUDENTS DUNK TEACHERS David Swem squeezes out last few drops while Craig Foley waits gleefully for his turn. It looks like Craig dunked another teacher in bottom picture. On March 31, 1973, the Class of 1975 held a carnival in the gymnasium from ten to three. Booths were set up along each wall. Games included foul shooting, ring toss, darts and balloons, toss-a-cross, a penny pitch, bean bag toss, golf, a fish pond, and the teacher dunk . The dunk proved to be one of the best attractions for the students, if not for the teachers. The dunking was done on the front lawn of the school as it was a very balmy day. Among the teachers dunked were Mr. Parow and Mr. Frank, both a number of times, Mr. Kellerhals, Mr. Rathbone, and Mr. LeBlanc. One student, who had used cold water and had prolonged unnecessarily his opportunity, was dunked in retaliation. The whole venture proved very successful. Kim DeHart almost drowns Mr. Frank after her original choice was not available. Debbie Jesmer, Lynette Premo, Stephen Jesmer, and unidentified parent.

The third annual athletic banquet of the current series was a well-attended event. Comments were made at the banquet by the various coaches and advisers and awards were made to those who participated in the various interscholastic sports and in cheerleading. A representative of each sport also spoke briefly. The consensus seemed to be that the year just ended had been one of rebuilding and that Pirate opponents should not too lightly brush aside the threat posed by Har- risville teams in 1973-74. The main speaker of the evening, Mr. Kibling of Watertown High School, enumerated the various qualities which an aspiring athlete must possess if he wishes to make his mark in sports both as an athlete and a person. His remarks, although aimed principally at the athletes themselves, con- tained much which all who were in attendance could apply to their own lives. The highlight of the evening was the presentation of the Outstanding Athlete Award , a successor to the Red Letter Award initiated some fifteen years ago. The recipient of the award was John Smith. In addition to serving as captain of the soccer, basketball, and baseball teams, John was also recognized by the Valley League by being selected for the All Stars Team in both soccer and base- ball. An honor student, John has always shown himself to be a gentleman. YOUNG BASEBALL TEAM POSTS THREE WINS From left, first row: Randy Hill, Gary Buckingham, Russell Bowen, John Smith; second row: Jack Luther, Joe Irish, Marty Ledger, Coach Leahey; third row: Roy Bancroft, Terry Irish, Kelly Buckingham, Tracy Jones (hidden), Gordon Grigg; back row: managers Craig Luther and Earl Whitford. The season, which was to open at home on Tuesday, May 1, 1973, had to be post- poned until the next day because of rain. As it turned out, the game was played in the rain on Wednesday. Hermon-DeKalb, our first league opponent, opened the scoring in the first inning after being issued a walk. The Pirates tied it up in the bottom of the same inning on a single, a stolen base, and an infield grounder. In the top of the second, the Demons put together four singles, a double, a walk, and a sacrifice fly to register four more runs. We scored a single run in the bottom of the second on a pair of singles. In the top of the third, two singles produced a sixth Hermon-DeKalb run. We cut the margin to two runs in the bottom of the inning on a walk, a single, and a double. The final run of the game was scored by Hermon-DeKalb in the top of the fourth on two singles. Final score: Hermon-DeKalb: seven; the Pirates: four. We were outhit fifteen to six in the contest. On Tuesday, May 8, the Pirates invaded Russell for a contest against the Knox Memorial Eagles. Three walks and four singles allowed us to take an early five run lead in the opening frame. Knox was able to tally two runs in the bottom of the second on three hits, one of them a double. Both teams added single runs in the fourth inning. A final Pirate run was scored in the fifth on a dropped third strike and two sacrifice flies. Final score: 7-3, Harrisville. We had our best day of the season on May 11, in Morristown. Although Morristown took an early 3-0 lead in the bottom of the first after having held us scoreless in the top of the inning, we fought back with three runs of our own in the top of the second on a double, a single, two walks, and an error on the shortstop. Two Morristown singles in the bottom of the inning gave them a temporary lead once again. We added a single run in the top of the third to tie the count and two in the next inning to take a 6-4 lead. We put the game on ice in the top of the fifth with six singles, a double, and a walk to send eight runs across the plate. In the bottom of the inning, Morristown scored its last three runs of the contest. We added five more runs in the last two innings to win a lopsided 19-7 victory. We now stood two and one in the league and had dreams of perhaps making a run for the league championship. However, that was not to be as we lost the next seven games, one a non-league encounter with Beaver River. The scores of these seven games were as fol- lows: Clifton-Fine 8, Harrisville 1; Edwards 16, Harrisville 4; Hammond 8, Harrisville 2; Hermon-DeKalb 5, Harrisville 0; Beaver River 7, Harrisville 6; Knox Memorial 11, Harrisville 10; Morristown 10, Harrisville 3. In the Beaver River game, Randy Hill slammed a home- run in an inning which produced four Pirate points. Terry Irish hit for the circuit in the Morristown contest. This homerun was to be our only league four-base hit of the season. On June 2, we entertained Hammond and won our third and last league game, a 12-2 victory. We sent four runs across on but four hits with the help of two costly errors and a fielder's choice. Three days later the Indians of Clif- ton-Fine invaded Harrisville. Leading 7-2 after six innings, the visitors were forced to Gary Buckingham snares grounder with ease. push three runs across in the final inning to overcome a six-run outburst on our part in the inning. Final score: Clifton-Fine 10, Harris- ville 8. The following day, Edwards scored early on its home diamond to register an 11-5 victory. Four of our runs were scored in the last two innings. We played our last game of the season, a non-league affair, against Beaver River. In a tight game, Beaver River overcame a 4-0 deficit to salvage a 5-4 win. Clifton-Fine posted a perfect 12-0 record to capture the Western Division of the Valley League and went on to defeat Brushton-Moira 8-1 at Snell Field in Potsdam for the B-C sectional championship. Brushton-Moira had Coach Leahey looks to his bench, completed its season with an 11-1 record.

The 1973 soccer season opened at home on September 11 with a non-league contest against Gouverneur. Both were unable to push the ball across the line in the first half of play. An infraction on the part of the Gouverneur goal- tender which limits goaltenders to four steps resulted in the first score of the game. Joe Irish punched the ball to brother Terry who kicked it into the net for a 1-0 Harrisville lead. Later in the third period, Tom Dickinson scored on a pass from Bob Kaminski. The shot careened off Ralph Swem. Moments later Gouver- neur scored from about fifteen yards out. A relatively soft shot, which went through the goalie's hands, knotted the score in the fourth quarter. An overtime twelve-minute period failed to break the tie. On September 12, the Pirates journeyed to Indian River Central School for a second pre- league game. After Indian River had taken a 1-0 lead in the first quarter, Gary Buckingham evened the score with a successful penalty kick. The second quarter saw both teams score a goal. Late in the third quarter, we scored to forge ahead 3-2. Indian River missed a chance to tie the score when it failed to score on a penalty kick. The final score was 4-2 after a penalty kick by Terry Irish. The first league contest was played against Carl Pierce moves ball forward. Knox Memorial on our home field. Aggressive Knox play resulted in a first-period goal for our opponents. However, in the second period we took command after a pair of goals, the first on a head placement from a corner kick by Tracy Jones; the second on a misplay by the Knox defense. A try to punch the ball to the goalie so that he might control the ball failed as Dickinson rushed in, outran the goalie to the ball, and kicked it in the direction of Kaminski who booted it into the upper left corner. A third Pirate goal late in the final quarter made the final score 3-1 and gave us a temporary share of first place in the league. Our second league game was played in Canton against the Saints of St. Joseph's of Malone. The Saints took a 1-0 lead in the first period on a lax Pirate defense. In the third period, St. Joseph's made it 2-0 on an easy goal when the ball barely carried over the goal line. We had a good fourth quarter but were unable to score. On the 24th, we entertained Colton. The game plan called for a tight defensive game on our part. We hoped to get a break which would give us a victory. Kaminski played goal for the first time and is to be credited with preventing Colton from scoring. Our strong defense weakened our offense as we relied mostly on a two-man line. In the second quarter of play, a would be Pirate goal was recalled after the officials ruled that an indirect kick had crossed the goal line without being touched by a second player. We protested to no avail. Later, a Colton scoring play was also disallowed because of hand ball infraction. Regulation time expired with neither team being able to score a legitimate goal. The game went into double overtime but failed to break the scoreless tie. We met Edwards in our next contest. After a scoreless first period we scored on a penal- ty kick with forty-five seconds left in the half. We scored on the penalty kick after an Edwards defensive player picked up a ball which was rolling toward the goal line. The referee ruled that it would not have carried over and awarded the penalty kick. The opening period of the second half was scoreless. With,approximately two minutes to play, Dickinson passed to Bowen. The Edwards goalie moved toward Bowen who kicked it past him and made the score 2-0 Pirates. This second seemed to take the fight out of the Hornets who stopped pressing. This victory over Edwards was to be our last league win. Our next game pitted us against St. Regis. We scored early when an attempted trap by a St. Regis fullback failed and Dickinson, racing in, kicked it into the goal. Less than a half-minute later St. Regis tied the score at 1-1 on a high shot which hit the top bar and deflected in. St. Regis went ahead 3-1 in the second quarter on a kick from the right wing and another as a result of a right wing cross to the center. The second half was scoreless until the closing moments when St. Regis added its fourth and last goal. The play in this last quarter was very rough. Three days later we played another classic game, this one against Hermon-DeKalb. Play throughout the game was even. The Pirates barely missed scoring in the first quarter when the ball hit the post but deflected to the outside. In the second quarter Hermon-DeKalb had several opportunities to score but booted the ball over the crossbar. Hermon-DeKalb also had a direct kick but that was stopped by Dickinson's eye. In the third quarter the Demons were awarded a penalty kick but that failed to produce a score as the ball sailed outside the post. Neither team was able to break its opponent's defense in the double overtime. The game ended Seymour and Dickinson head for play. a scoreless tie. We again failed to score in our next contest. The Indians from Clifton-Fine, however, managed to register two goals in the second quarter of the game on two plays in which heads played a great part. Clifton-Fine scored its third goal in the third period on a conventional play. Our opponents scored their last goal late in the fourth quarter on a breakaway as we moved all of our men up in an effort to put an end to our string of scoreless quarters. Our next game, against Parishville, was con- tested in severe weather conditions. A very stiff wind made effective passing an impossi- bility. No real scoring threat was mounted by either team throughout the first half of play. We almost scored in the third quarter on a hard shot by Dickinson. The Parishville goalie reached back and snatched the ball just as it was to cross into the net. Kelly Buckingham replaced Bob Kaminski in the goal in this quarter. In the final quarter Parishville scored the lone goal of the game when the ball bounced off a Pirate fullback who was pressing and resulted in a one-man breakaway. We were beginning to wonder if we would ever again score a goal as we had now failed to register a point in fifteen con- secutive quarters. On October 18 we met Knox Memorial for the second time. Midway through the first period Pete Wood ended our string of scoreless quarters when he sailed the ball high over the Knox goalie's head. Two minutes later the Knox Eagles tied the score on a direct kick. Late in the quarter Knox forged ahead on a weak shot which bounced off a leg. The score went to 3-1 in the second quarter on a hard shot. In the final quarter Terry Irish scored our second goal after our aggressive play permitted him to outrace the Knox fullback and outmaneuver the goalie. Late in this final quarter Bowen sent the game into overtime with a head shot from about fifteen feet. Knox scored on a good shot in the first overtime. We pressed, moving up all our men, but failed to score. On October 25, we again met Edwards. Late in the opening quarter Edwards scored on a poor defensive Pirate play. It added a second goal in the second stanza on a direct kick. Both teams missed a penalty kick. Our only scoring play came in the fist half of the third quarter. Tracy Jones pushed the ball toward the goal line after a corner kick by Terry Irish. David Lesperance tipped the ball just over the line to bring us within a point of our opponents. In the last quarter the Pirates, desperate for a victory, pressed. As is often the case in such a situation, this strategy resulted in a breakaway for Edwards. Edwards then added an insurance goal midway through the quarter on a hard shot which hit the post and went in. Our last two games resulted in identical scores, 4-0, in favor of our opponents on their fields. Clifton-Fine recorded single goals in all four periods on its way to its victory. In the Hermon-DeKalb game the Demons scored three times in the opening period to take command of the play. It added a fourth point in the third period. Although our record fails to impress statistically, much experience was gained by the younger players of the squad. The one deplorable aspect of the season lies in the fact that some players had to be ejected from contests because of unsports- manlike conduct resulting from over-aggressiveness or lack of self-control. The mark of a great player often rests in his reaction to adversity.

Over the last few seasons the Harrisville girls have fielded a soccer team but their efforts in winning contests seemed to fall short of their goal. This year, however, they finally registered a win and a tie against the formidable Clifton-Fine team. In their win over Clifton-Fine the Pirate team scored in the first quarter on a fine play by Shelley Smith. Kim Dowling, who shows a great deal of speed and finesse, added two goals to give Harrisville a 3-1 lead at the half. The second of Kim's two goals came after a hard shot deflected off the leg of a Clifton-Fine fullback. In the second half Clifton-Fine attempted a come- back but fell short of overtaking us. We were outscored 2 to 1 but managed to hold on for a four goals to three victory. The return contest, in Star Lake, was a hard-fought contest with many charging calls being made by the referees. The game ended in a 1-1 tie after two overtime sessions. The loss to the Hermon-DeKalb girls was a heartbreaker as the only goal of the game was scored when a long shot found the mark with our goalie's view obstructed. Dixie Jenack disputes ball. HOPEFULS ATTEND BASKETBALL CAMP CENTRAL S From left, frontHoward Hooper, Kevin Buckingham, Matthew LaParr, David Lespe- rance, and Thomas Arnold; standing: Ricky Chartrand, Gordon Grigg, Kelly Buck- ingham, Martin Buckingham, Pierre Dashnaw, and Mr. Leahey. Ten young Pirate basketballers attended the Southern Tier Basketball Camp and or the Lake Brandingham Basketball Camp for a week during the summer months. While at camp the participants are drilled extensively in the basic skills needed to play effectively. In addition professional players visit the site to deliver lectures on the fine points of the game. Movies also supplement the program. Throughout the week, scrimmages are held several times each day between various squads. The work is tiring, the hours are long, but the food is good and the results positive. On the final day of the program awards are given to the boys who have shown the greatest aptitude. Tom Arnold and Kevin Buckingham were cited for Most Improved Player Award, Marty Buckingham for All Star Team Award, and Kelly Buckingham for Most Valuable Player Award. Funds for this camp were earned by the boys themselves. Gary Buckingham, although not in the photograph, also attended. Ten varsity hopefuls attended a one-week session at the Pocono Basketball Camp in Pennsylvania. They also were given extensive training and had the opportunity to discuss basketball with a number of professional players including Jack Marrin of the Rockets. Those who attended were Carl Pierce, Bob Kaminski, Terry and Joe Irish, Russell Bowen, Chuck Langs, Tim Chartrand, Pete Wood, and Tom Dickinson who was awarded a trophy as a member of the winning team. The boys were guarded in their praise of the camp and the experience which it offered. Most spent a day or two in bed after drinking contaminated water.

We next lost a close contest to the Indians of Clifton-Fine on the Star Lake court. We then posted seven wins in eight games while scoring victories over Edwards and Russell twice, and single victories over Hammond, Clifton-Fine, and Morristown. Our only defeat in the eight-game stretch was a loss to Morristown. We completed competition in the league with a twenty-one point loss to Hermon-DeKalb and an easy 94-58 win over Hammond. The sectionals were held in mid-winter. The pairings pitted us against the Eagles of Knox in our first contest. However, Knox withdrew from the tournament and we were rescheduled against St. Regis, to whom we lost 75-67, thus eliminating us. Hermon- DeKalb took the C-D championship by defeating Holy Family, Chateaugay, Heuvelton, and St. Regis, the class D champions. Clifton-Fine registered the biggest upset of the season when it captured the A-B championship with a win over previously undefeated Northern League giant, Canton. In the Valley League play-offs, we scored a 53-49 victory over Clifton-Fine to move to the finals of the Western Conference. Hermon-DeKalb continued its march toward an undefeated season by posting a 65-59 victory over our Pirates. The outcome, however, was not decided until the final minute of the contest. Three Valley League teams received honorable mention in the small schools division of the New York State high school basketball ratings. These schools were Hermon-DeKalb, Clifton-Fine, and Heuvelton. We submit that Hermon-DeKalb, with its 21-0 record, should have made the top list.

Seventh and eighth grade boys again this year suited basketball teams. The boundless enthusiasm of these twelve, thirteen, and fourteen year old boys made for interesting contests with several neighboring schools. More important than the record of wins and losses is the fact that they were able to learn some of the fundamentals of the game and then test themselves against an actual opponent. A vote of thanks must be extended to Mr. Kellerhals for the many hours spent in coaching these boys. Not to be outdone, the girls of the seventh and eighth grades also organized and provided cheerleading squads to support the efforts of their classmates.
