Huntress-------------President Joseph L. Newcombe-------Vice President Jeanette A. Coffey------------Secretary Judith Ann LaVine Treasurer WASHINGTON TRIP Twenty-one weary seniors and two advisors arrived union Station in Washington on Good Friday. We were at osed to arrive at 12:£5 p. m. but due to a freight 3U?Pn derailed on our track, we were forced to go back trPhiladelphia, Pennsylvania and did not arrive until f°.cX p. m. We were taken to the Commodore Hotel by Pxi and given an hour to change and prepare for dinner hich was serve i in the dining room of our hotel. That vening was left for getting acquainted with downtown Washington. Some of us went to a movie and were amazed to find that one ticket cost $1.50. Others stayed in our hotel room or walked around Washington. Saturday: March 28, 1959 At 6:I(.5 we were aroused by the telephone ringing in our rooms. We got dressed and went down and had our breakfast. At 8:00 we left the hotel for the Washing- ton Monument. We could not wait to go up inside the monument as the wind was bitter cold and there were many classes ahead of us. On our way to the Pan-American Building we received a panoramic view of Washington. We were surprised to see a 914. year old parrot in the Pan- American Building. We than went to the White House but were not lucky enough to see our President. Next we went to the Capitol and enjoyed our guided tour through this famous building. By this time we were ready for our lunch which we received at the S W Cafeteria and were completely satisfied and refreshed for our afternoon tours. That p. m. we went to Mount Vernon in Virginia and toured the home of George Washington, the old and new tombs, the gardens and kitchens. We then left for a tour of Alexandria and saw the Christ Church and the Washington Masonic Memorial. We toured the Arlington National cem- etery and saw the changing of the guard at the tomb of the unknown soldier. On our way back we saw the Iwo Jima Mar- ine Memorial. We then returned to our hotel for a superb meal af- ter which we rested and then changed our clothes to go to Glenn Echo Amusement Park m Maryland. Some of us were real surprised at our ride on the roller coaster! We then returned to our hotel rooms for a good night's sleep. Sunday: .March 29 1959 Easter morning we went to the Arlington Amphitheatre and enjoyed the TJ. S. Marine Band, also a very touching sermon. Some of us, upon returning to our hotel rooms, went to the Church of our choice as the sunrise service was undenominational. The rest of us just relaxed and tried to get some rest but did not succeed in most cases. At 1:00 p. m. we left the hotel for the Erancisan Monastery, the Washington Cathedral and the zoo. It was even too cold for the animals as most of them were under shelter. After dinner we left the hotel for the Jefferson Memorial, the Lincoln Memorial, and the Wash- ington Airport which all of us enjoyed very much. It was very colorful. Monday: March 30, 1959 At 8:00 we left the hotel for the Bureau of Printing and Engraving and a tour of the F. B. I. building, which proved to be exceptionally Interesting. Next we went to the Smithsonian institute and the Museum of Natural Hist- ory. After lunch we went to the Library of Congress. We then returned to our hotel and packed to leave for New York. At 1:55 p. m. we left the hotel and at 3:00 we were on our way to New York. Notes Of all the interesting sights we saw in Washington it was agreed by the group that the most enjoyable was the F. B. I. Building. It is amazing to see all the different things they can find out from just one small clue. I'm sure it made many of us really sit up and take notice. Our government is the most important function of our country. Even though we 3aw only a few of our government buildings, we can see that almost every problem has a place to be solved. NEW YORK CITY TRIP Monday March 1959 At 6:i|5 p.m., twenty-one tired teenagers and two ad- visors arrived at Grand Central Station. Prom there we were pushed into taxi cabs and taken to the Hotel Taft. When we arrived at the Hotel, we were assigned to differ- ent rooms. Then the rest of the evening was left open to do with as we wanted. Tuesday, March 31, 1959 Every morning we were awakened by the unpleasant sound of the telephone ringing at 6:lj5 a.m. Then it was the usual routine of getting ready for our tours. It 8:30, we left the Hotel on a special bus for a guided tour through the United Nations building. Ifter lunch we went on a tour of upper Manhattan with a special tour through the Cathedral of St. John the Divine. Afterwards we went walking through Chinatown. We visited the Empire State building and the guide escorted us back to the Hotel by subway. That evening we left the Hotel for Radio City Music Hall, here we saw a stage shox T, a movie, The Rockettes and the Easter Pageant. Wednesday, April 1, 1959 We left the Hotel with the guide to see the Statute of Liberty but we were disappointed because it was too foggy for the boats to go to the Statute. The afternoon was left open to go shopping or anything else we wanted to do. That evening at 9:00 we left the Hotel for Grand Central Station. Tuesday, Ipril 2, 1959 It 9:58 a.m. we arrived in DeKalb Junction with happy memories of a wonderful trip. CAN YOU IMAGINE??? Carolyn Patton------------------------------------Not eating?

STUDENT COUNCIL This year the Student Council started out with the election of Shelby Morrow as President and Sophie Hamilton as Vice-President. At our first meeting we elected Dave Baker as Treasurer and Carol Brice as Secretary. Early in the year we organized a social hour and also set up a safety patrol. At the beginning of basketball season, we helped purchase the scoreboard. In April the school trophies were brought over. We cleaned these and placed them on a shelf in the library. The class representatives are: Senior---------Norman Warren Susan Fenlong Junior----------Dave Baker Carol Brice Sophomore------Bernard Reed Jane Brice Freshman--------Lynn Ward Lorraine Brunet Grade 8--------Charles Keyes Marie Carvel Grade 7--------Jeffrey Hamilton Cheryl Sayer FOOTBALL This year eight-man tackle football was introduced for the first time in the Hermon-DeKalb Central School. In previous years it was six-man tackle football. This year our football team got new uniforms. Our equipment was the best that could be purchased. It gave good protection because none of the playeis received any serious injuries. Under the leadership of Norm Warren, quarterback, we had a very successful season. At the end of the season we had won two and lost two; the last one lost by only one touchdown. We had very good coaching from Coach Healy with the assistance of Coach Lewis.

All through the season we were handicapped by the shortage of players. Four members of the team were seniors and will not be back next season. The team had wished to win many games because this was our first year in the new school and we wanted to have a good season. We who are seniors, want to wish the best of luck to future ball players of HDCS and hope they will win many ball games in honor of the new school. The players on this year's team were: Eugene Gilbert James Hance Norman Warren Raymond Kentfield Joe Newcombe, Bill Brunet Clark Carvel Chuck Mason Ronald Masters Manager JUNIOR VARSITY BASKETBALL Our Junior Varsity basketball team for the 1958-59 season wasn't too successful, but we gained some valuable experience. There were only six players so they had to work extra hard. They were Harold Frisco, David Reed, Jeff Rice, Alvin Gray, Leon Simser and Gary Livingston. We lost nine games and won two. The individual scores were as follows: Frisco--------------------------------------- 5 points Simser--------------------------------------4-5 points Rice------- Reed------- Gray------- Livingston. 36 points 36 points 3 points 15 points We hope to have a better year in 1959-60, WRESTLING Wrestling was introduced to our school this year for the first time. Mr. O'Neil was largely responsible for tte adoption of the sport and did a wonderful job of coaching us • Considering the fact that it was a new experience for us} we think we did quite well. We were not in the league this year but hope to join it next year We wrestled for practice, Edwards, Canton—twice, Gouverneur, and Madrid--twice• We lost the first four matches but gained much experience which helped us to beat Madrid, the last time by a very decisive margain.
