History of the 1942 Seniors The seniors of the 1942 graduating class came into school in the fall of 1938 as young and care- free as any one could he but now through the years of high school and especially this year we have learn- ed to accept responsibilities. Now we are ready for the long road ahead. The second year we merely drifted along like most sophomores coming through the year without many scars; losing a few of our members and gaining a few. The next year went along smoothly and at the latter end of the year we elected our officers for the rest of the year and also for the coming year. The officers were: president, Glenn Hastings; secre- tary, Ella Fishbeck; treasurer, Eleanor Chambers. After the Seniors of 1941 were through, we started our campaign for our money fund. Then the last year with all of its activities came along. With all the difficulties a class can have we came forth with a class that never once grumbled but always worked together. We all worked fairly hard to raise a fund large enough to take a trip, and finally did go to New York where we all had a grand time. During the year's activities, we put on a senior play in which nearly all the sen- iors had some part. It turned out very well. We are now going to have a senior picnic as senior classes have done in the past to finish up a most pleasant year. After that, we will bo ready for the secrets the world has in store for us upon graduation. Last Will and Testament We, the seniors of Heuvelton High School, village of Heuvelton, county of St. Lawrence, State of New York, being of sound mind, memory and understanding do, make, devise and publish the following as our last will and testament. First: We hereby revoke all contracts, bills and promises which we have made during our high school career in Heuvel— ton High. z Second: We leave and bequeath to a promising junior class all our property including our very much used back seats, magazines and other such articles, our ability to get to senior meetings on.time, and our ability to agree and not to quarrel.

During this period of time, the band through playing for different social affairs has earned enough money so that it has equipped it- self with caps and capes for its entire member- ship. During this five year period the band has progressed from the easiest type of music to the highest type of music that it should possibly play. This year the band joined the N.Y.S.S.H.A. and practiced the numbers required by the association for Class G bands. The Band through the help of the Conn Instrumental Com- pany has acquired quite a presentable library of music, has bought one snare drum, and some drum accessories. Mr. Hurley, who has been our music direc- tor for the past five years, is leaving Heu- velton High School at the end of this school year to take over his new position at Black River. Chorus On Friday March 20th, 1942, the Heuvelton High School Chorus presented at Cho Town Hall, the operetta, ’'Marryin • Maraon.:i This two act produc- tion was directed toy Janos E.. Hurley, professor of music at the school, and Mrs., Robert Truax. The cast consisting of chorus members was as follows: Dr . Bohunku s - - Ly 1 c C r awf o r d Miss MeWhiffle—J. Taylor Mrs. Bohunkus--L. Scoley Cicero Socrates Smith--D. Parks Charles G. Snith--E. Crayford Marion--H. Sellers Ruth—E. Parks Simpson--L. Wood Soloists of the cast were assisted in their songs throughout the production toy the entire cho- rus. Their accompanist was Mrs. Myron Mayne. ,Further activities of the chorus included a trip to Potsdam on Friday, May 8th, to attend Cho- rus Day, a part of the annual three day Hay Festival. The activities ofRthat day were under the supervision of Hiss Helen ITosmor of the Crane Department of Music of the Potsdam State College for Teachers. Miss Hos- mcr judged that our chorus is capable of doing the work which they arc engaged in. The trip was thoroughly enjoyed toy all members of the chorus and through the system of rating which v as carried out, all v;crc made to feel that their endeavors toward advancement '. ere certainly rccog- . nized Lyle Crawford Basketball The basketball squad of the past year was probably the largest In recent years but most of.the boys had had little experience. The coaches of the team were Mr. Bush and Mr. Tawlins The team seemed to have its off and on nights and one of our bad nights came in the semi-final game at Ogdonsburg Free Academy gymnasium in which we bowed to a stronger quintet from Morristown. Scores for the season are as follows: Heuvelton Edwards IT Morristown 9 Madrid 12 Waddington 25 Hammond 26 Rensselaer Falls 21 Morristown 14 Edwards 14 Madrid 10 Waddington 34 Hammond 20 Rensselaer Falls 17 Totals SIS Results of Semi-Finals Heuvelton 12 Morristown 15 Opponents J7 16 19 29 19 17 16 29 15 13 11 13 ST?

But our coach, Mr Parden, did a swell job of building nearly a whole forward line. The other teams of the league were on the average stronger than in previous years. Norwood won the league championship.

A. chapter for the pres- ent school year are as follows;- President; Glenn Hastings Vice President;- jaes Kelly Sect'y. and Treas. Murray Johnston Corr. Sect:y. ;• Malcolm Badger Participation in judging contests was one of the most interesting activities of the Heuvelton F. F. A. chapter during the year 194 -42. The members of the teams were selected prior to each of the judging contests. Heuvelton F. F. A. chapter participated in contests held at Malone, Gouverneur, Hammond and New York State Fair. The chapter also participated in the Farm and Home Program at Cornell University as well as contests held at the New York State Agricultural and Technical Institution at Canton, Morrisville and Delhi. For the fourth consecutive year, the local team placed first in dairy cattle at Malone Fair. We also placed second at G-ouverneur Fair. At Delhi the team placed second out of the state and received a large green banner which hangs in our Agriculture class room. At State Fair, G-lenn Hastings placed second high in the state in dairy cattle in competition with 250 schools. He and one other student from the state made the state team which judged at the Eastern State Exposition at Springfield, Mass. Here, G-lenn placed fourth with twenty four individuals from twelve states competing. Glenn is the first Heuvelton student to become a member of a state F. F. A, judging team� . _ As a result of Pearly Harbor two of our F, F. A. mem- bers arc now in the armed forces. James Kelly joined the Navy and John Hand joined the Army. The local chapter was host to other chapters at the fall rally. The chief attractions were the football and ping-pong tournaments. Donald Parks camo through to win the pin-pong tournament and a nice trophy. Our F. F. As basketball team came in second best at the tournament follow-- ing the completion of the regular season and held at the Agricultural and Technical Institute at Canton. Many successful project programs are under way with much interest being shown in them. Dairy herd reoords are being kept by thirteen boys with a total of over 300 cows on test. Over 325 bushels of seed oats were treated for smut this spring. This has completed a very successful year for the local chapter. Ellis Fishbeck Homo Making Notos This yeai5, the second one of Home Making at Heuvelton High, found our enrollment more than doubled and three new courses added.- Through this extended curriculum, Home Making B and Home Economics for seventh and eighth grade girls were offered for the first time. During the school year, we have tried not only to do our school work well but to aid in the health and social program of the school by serving banquets and preparing a hot dish for the noon lunch. In these ways, we think wo are aiding a little to make young America better nourished. All through our year’s work we have tried to keep in mind the responsibility of the American homemaker and to learn better and more efficient methods of preparing foods, car- ing for our homes and families and remaking garments so that nothing shall be unintentially wasted. As we review the year, it has been a successful and enjoyable one, one which we are sure has more thoroughly equipped us to be the homemakers of tomorrow.
