They defeated their first opponent, Draper High School, but lost the following week to Chat- ham High School. Nice job, kids! As a supplement to their secretarial courses, seniors Sue Woodard and Cheryl Frank are participating in a volunteer computer class during study halls and seventh periods. Two members of the class of 1964, Ellen Gavagan and Sylvia Mello, retreat from the confusion of the school day. They seem to be getting away from it all on this stairwell near the junior high wing. In the Art Appreciation class, Pam Ballou leafs through a dictionary of modem art. This course, one of the newer ones at H. F. C. S. , has been greeted enthusiastically by the student body. Adjust the seat and check the mirror, instructs Mr. Idleman to members of the Driver Ed. class, Ann Ruditis (driver), Bill Yurewitch, Dave Filkins, and Janice Cipperly. Com- pletion of the Driver Ed. course enables students to re- ceive senior licenses at the age of 17. All growth depends upon activity. Work is not a curse; it is the pre- rogative of intelligence, the only means to manhood, and the measure of civilization. — Calvin Coolidge — UNDERCLASSMEN Class of 1 965 The junior class, headed by their officers, Presi- dent, John Helft; vice-president, Paul Harrison; treasurer, Anthony Hayes; and secretary, Deborah Markiewicz, presented a successful Halloween dance entitled The Witches Wingding.

The team played heads up ball in every game and was sparked by a hard hitting offense and a very stingy defense. In seven league games the defense gave up only 72 points while the offense racked up 114. The line, under the direction of Coach Angelo, ripped gaping holes in enemy defenses and Coach Kenyon’s hard running backs took complete advantage of them to sustain long drives. H.F.C.S.

The squad made up for its lack of height by play- ing a very fast deceptive ball game defeating many teams which man to man were much taller. The determination which Coach Kenyon's charges showed throughout the season offered many thrilling moments to the spectators watching the games. In March the team entered the Class C Sectionals. This tournament brought to a close the high school bas- ketball careers of seniors, Doug and Don Eighmey, Richard Lassor, and Don Decker, who played on last year's championship team Playing the best basketball of their careers the boys de- feated their quarter final opponent Mayfield before losing in the semifinals to Cobleskill. 60 Varsity Basketball VARSITY RECORD HFCS 46 Salem Opponent 68 HFCS 74 McCann Voc.

Playing fine ball, they were co-champions of the Washington County League, and made the finals of the Class C sectionals. With a veteran team returning in 1964, we look forward to another splendid year. 66 The cheerleaders kept the spirit of H.F.C.S. alive.

National Honor Society The National Honor Society, founded in 1921, was established to stimulate the high scholarship, constructive leadership, pur- poseful service, and worthy character of high school students throughout this country. The Hoosick Falls Chapter, given its charter in 1944, has a present member- ship of 12 Juniors and Seniors. Many other potential Honor Society members will be tapped this spring and welcomed into the order. The National Honor Society Dinner was innovated last year and attended by 56 stu- dents accompanied by their parents. These students included all on the honor roll at least once during the school year as well as the members of the National Honor Society. It was proclaimed a success and will become an annual event. Three seniors Carol Calhoun, Ellen Gavagan and Jean Brust display that technique which earned them their positions on the society. 72 With the helpful guidance of Mr. Warren Eastwick the Student Council has met biweekly to sug- gest and plan improvements for expanding the activities of the entire student body. Early in the year the student governing organization sponsored a poster contest, the theme of which was Beat Cambridge. Be- sides giving our students a chance to display their artistic talents, the football team was given a lot of well deserved publicity. The Council also held a dance after the Greenwich basketball game, the profits of which were donated to the March of Dimes. The officers elected for this year are: president, Don Eighmey; vice president, Ann Ruditis; sec- retary, Susan Peckham; treasurer, Paul Harrison. All the members ol the council sincerely enjoy serv- ing the Student body which they represent. Don Eighmey and Ann Ruditis go over plans for Student Council activities with Mr. Eastwick and Mr. Leonard. Student Council LEFT TO RIGHT— 1st ROW: L. Bissonette, B. Cipperly, D. Eighmey, A.

Every month our able bulletin board committee has had eye-catching dis- plays for everyone to admire. At the Christmas meeting, which holds many memories for the club's members, a play, Le Pere Noel was presented followed by a game of French Charades. In November, the French Club spon- sored a dance after a basketball game and held a dance in April, using a French theme. The suggestion of donating a gift to the school for future French classes was well received and a com- mittee was formed for this purpose.

The members are given an opportunity to work in elementary classrooms and gain first-hand ex- perience. The Future Teachers of America began their activities this year under the direction of Mrs. Bordeaux, Mr. Roy, Mr. Eastwick, and Mr. Clints- man. At the first meeting the mem- bers discussed the aspects of their newly acquired constitution and Mr. Beaverson delivered a talk on the re- quirements in New York schools for teachers. Refreshments and a ques- tion and answer period followed. The organization sponsored a very successful dance after a basketball game.

Besides performing at annual Christmas, spring, and Faster concerts, both the complete group and individual members participate in such gatherings as the Tri-State Choral Festival and the N.Y.S.S.M. A. Competition which the chorus will attend on a Festival basis this year. Last year the organization attended on a competitive basis and received a B in grade four music.

Jr. Band Chorus These two important organizations in our school arc a training ground for the Senior Band and Chorus. In vocal areas the students leam to read1' music, to perfect the tone quality of their voices, and to recognize the value of enjoyment which they may achieve through singing. Songs are not confined to hymns and spirituals, but a wide variety of arrangements are available. In the instrumental field, the Junior Band works hard on tonal development, band balance, control, and intonation. The Junior Chorus, composed of students in the seventh and eighth grade is this year under the direction of Mr. William Tisdale. The group gave a very fine performance at the Christmas Concert at which time, Diana Fowler displayed her very fine vocal talents as soloist. Members of the chorus attended the All-County Music Festival at Hoosic Valley this year. The group holds its rehearsals during A and B lunch periods on Mondays and Fridays. They strive to make their group one to be proud of and deserve much credit. The Junior Band, under the direction of Mr. Everly, performed at the Christmas Concert and combined with the Senior band at an assembly. Last year this group attended the New York State competition where they re- ceived an A rating in grade II music. Music students from this band also attended All-County Festival at Hoosic Valley. These students are to be commended for their excellent work. LEFT TO RIGHT — FIRST ROW: C. McGarvin, W. Jones, I. Petersen, P. Sherman, D. Le- Barron, C. Frazier, J. Shaw, G. Reynolds, M.

Concert Band The ’’Concert Band of 72 members is the highest level of instrumental music in our school. The band contains a wide assortment of instruments, some of which cannot be found in other area schools. The group's accomplishments in the field of music have ranged from modern pieces to symphonic arrange- ments . Last year at the New York State com- petition, the band received a B rating in grade six, the most difficult level of music played by a band at this gathering. Besides performing at annual Spring and Christmas concerts the band partici- pated in many school and civic affairs. The energy and ability displayed by its members has made the Concert Band a noted organization in both the school and the village. 82 LEFT TO RIGHT: 1st ROW — P. Nash, H. Hayes, D. Redden, P.

Junior Prom Carrying out the theme of Bali Hai, a huge grey Tiki met the couples as they walked into the mysteriously transformed cafeteria. One wall was covered with a jungle scene complete with real parakeets, coconuts, and banana bunches. The rest of the room was a tropical beach, not lacking in surf and sea gulls. The highlight of the evening was the crowning of the queen Beverly LeBarron and the presenta- tion of the court. Music by the Paul Kreiger Orchestra drifted through the candlelit room and the trinkling of the waterfall composed of pleasant overture in the background as couples danced or chatted around small tables. The decorating committee, headed by Don Eighmey and Louise Nelson deserve much credit for making Bali Hai” an occasion to be long remembered. After the coronation, Queen Beverly LeBarron dances with her escort Pat Mumane. 85 Chaperones look on as students dance. The Winter Ball This year, as in previous years, the senior class sponsored the annual winter ball. Our theme was Winter Twilight and music for this memorable occasion was furnished by Paul Kreiger and his trio.
