Hoosick Falls Central School - Vagabond Yearbook (Hoosick Falls, NY)

Text from Pages 1 - 104 of the 1965 volume:

The Vagabond Presented by Class of 1965 Hoosick Falls Central School Hoosick Falls, New York i Volume 34 Foreword Watching a flower bloom one notices that not all the petals emerge simultaneously. The outer petals give the flower its beauty for a while only to recede into the background and yield their prestige to others. This pro- cess continues with every petal at some time reaching its zenith and fruition. A comparison can be drawn between this flower and the school year. Each facet of the school life emerges, gains eminence and then recedes to become an integral part of the school history. But like the' petals of a flower, each club, sport, or class activity does not proceed at the same rate in this cycle. A short synopsis of the first half of a typical year will illustrate this point clearly. At the start of school everyone is concerned with the election of officers and representatives to Student Coun- cil. This excitement soon succumbs to the business of organizing the various clubs and planning the agenda of each for the new year. Of course, in the fall the Satur- days are reserved for the ever enthralling football games. But with the approach of cold weather the gridmen yield their place of glory to the indoor seeking cagers and matmen. Soon the Christmas season is upon us and many activities are arranged, the most prominent being the Christmas Concert and the Winter Ball. The new year arrives and as ironic as it may seem it ushers in a period of tension and gloom to the students. The cause, of course is that yearly menace, mid-terms. No matter what the results a sigh of relief issues forth from the en- tire student body when these are concluded and they settle down peacefully for the second semester. In hopes of a true representation of the student life at Hoosick Falls Central the 1965 Vagabond has recorded the events of the past year as they are unfolded. In Appreciation of Mr. Ralph S. Bullock Prof' We thank you, Mr. Bullock, for your 38 years of service—for the many students that have left this school better prepared to face the world because of their contact with you. We thank you for that, but perhaps more, we thank you for that ready smile that has brightened the halls and the hearts of our school and which will, without doubt, forever brighten our memories and the memo- ries of all those who have known you. 4 Table of Contents Activities Student Council 23 Yearbook Staff 30 French Club 31 Drama Ensemble 32 Library Club 33 Winter Ball 50-51 Radio Club 52 Future Teachers 53 Junior High Clubs 54 Midyear Exams 55 National Honor Society 58-59 Prom 68-69 Administration and Faculty Superintendent's Message 6 Administration 7 Senior High Faculty 8-13 Elementary Faculty 14 Maintenance IS Advertisements Patrons 92-96 Classes Music Officers 22 Senior Band Seventh Grade 16-17 Senior Chorus Eighth Grade 56-57 Junior Band Ninth Grade 18-21 Junior Chorus Tenth Grade 46-49 Eleventh Grade 64-67 Twelfth Grade 70-91 Sports Football 24-28 Girls' Intramurals 29 Varsity Basketball 34-37 Junior Varsity Basketball 38-39 Wrestling 44-45 Baseball 62 Boys' Intramurals 63 5 Superintendent’s Message To the Class of 1965: On behalf of the faculty and staff 1 congratulate you on the successful completion of your secondary education. This present achievement Is an accomplishment of which you can be Justly proud. This Is, however, only the beginning in the never ending process of education. Whether or not you continue your education In a formal sense, this world of ours daily challenges our learning. This class of 1965 has established some noteworthy achievements here. May ail of you continue in success. We all wish you a full measure of contentment, whatever your endeavor. James H. Beaverson High School Principal It is a rare moment when Mr. Leon- ard is caught sitting at his desk. He is usually found hurrying about the halls solving the ever-present prob- lems of the principal’s job. A school is only as good as those who run it. Board of Education We owe a debt of gratitude to our Board of Education for their splendid work throughout our years at Hoosick Falls Central. They are the people who see that the school runs smoothly and according to plan. These elected officials must accept with their position many serious duties and responsibilities. To cope with our expanding enrollment, the Board presented the public with a plan for an addi- tion to the elementary division. The plan was widely accepted and construction will begin next year. We wish to thank you for this and all of your help in making our school a well-run institution. We have confidence that you will con- tinue to do as fine a job for those who come after us as you have done in the past. MR. JOHN FRIER School District Clerk TOP ROW — Mr. Arthur E. Smith.

Eastwick, the Student Council, which is com- posed of class officers and elected homeroom representatives, launched its important project for 1965. The group is sponsoring a student-exchange program. Under this program, a student from H.F.C.S. would be able to spend two months of his summer vacation in a Latin American country, and likewise a student from Latin America would be able to sDend part of his summer vacation here. Since summer vacations occur at different times, each of the partici- pants will attend classes in the countries they are visiting. During the year the student governing body also presented an assembly program and several dances. The council enjoys the posi- tion of being one of the most important student organizations in the school, for it serves as a common media for the student body and the administration. Student Council member S. Reynolds works over the plans for a foreign exchange pro- gram sponsored by the council. and Student Council plans the coming year. BOTTOM ROW: D. LeBarron, C. Frazier, A.

Before being brought down, he managed to gain some valuable yardage for the Hoosiers. Varsity Football Varsity football at Hoosick Falls has reached its zenith this year under the direction of Coach Kenyon and Coach Decker, the new line coach. The strong running game of the Hoosiers rolled up 138 points. This was not done with any so called get rich quick plays, but with the hard quick-hitting ground attack that the Hoosiers are famous for. The team set a new defensive record of only allowing 27 points in league competition. No one will ever forget the exciting climax to the 6-1-1 season with the fantastic Greenwich game ending in a tie. Thus the powerful team captured the co-championship of the Washington County Football I.eague. did once again emerge as champions. STANDING; D. Marsh, J. Arnold, J. Van Der Kar, D. Scott, P.

The Greenwich Game Tom Chapman blasts on his trumpet, and Senior band members B. Cipperly, S. Eddy, and K. White emit a deafening howl. Football is a game that requires a 100 per cent effort from each individual member of the squad. A team can not function properly if even one of the eleven members fails to do his share. The last game of the season in which the undefeated Hoosiers met the undefeated Witches to vie for the Washington County Championship was an illustration of football at its greatest. Both teams gave their maximum and provided the immense crowd of spectators with one of the most exciting football games ever. Our tremendous record setting defense was able to halt one of the finest offenses the league has seen in years. Although the climax brought a 13 to 13 tie, our school should be proud to have a football team that produced such an outstanding season and at the same time did this in the best traditions of sportsmanship. 28 Tumbling, balancing, and dancing are all very important to a sound intramural program.

Gail Buswell returns the serve from her op- ponent during the badminton tournament in February. Gail and her partner Marge Gardner went on to win this five week elim- ination contest. Intramurals During the past year and the present year the girls have par- ticipated in a number of exciting and interesting sports. These sports begin after the opening of school in September and end in June. In this time period, the girls enjoy playing and compet- ing in the wide variety of activities. Field hockey and soccer are the two main sports in the fall months. Teams are set up and each week there is exciting com- petition. When the weather becomes too cold for outdoor sports the girls retire to the gym where they enjoy basketball, volleyball, and modern dance. These various sports are played in a series during the winter months in which weather makes outside sports impossible. In the late spring attention turns to another excit- ing sport, softball. This continues until just before graduation. During the year our school also participates in interscholas- tic games with the local schools and sportsdays which all the area schools participate. No matter what the time of year is. Miss McIntosh, the gym instructor, has an exciting schedule planned for the girls of HFCS. 29 JUNIOR STAFF: T. Bowman, B. Sausville, S. Busby.

The members, all at least second year French students, try to conduct their short business ses- sions and cultural programs totally in French. This constant use of their language gives the students a greater flexibility of usage and com- prehension in their classroom studies. After each business meeting, cultural pro- grams are presented by committees of members. These are designed to help the students achieve a better understanding of the culture and tradi- tions of the French people. Their interest in French traditions has led to their plans for the near future — a plan to use the money in the treasury to spend an enjoyable time dining at a French restaurant. During the year, they have had many activi- ties. Among these have been a dance after a basketball game, the viewing of slides taken in France by Miss Goewey on her recent tour, and a party at Christmas. Officers elected for this year were C. Fink, President; S. Reynolds, Vice-President; S. Bus- by, Treasurer; S. Davison, Secretary. BOTTOM ROW: C. Fink, S. Davison, S. Busby, S. Reynolds. 2nd ROW; C. McNeilly, L. Cappellino, M. Bisson, L.

French Club is the first to organize in the fall. Enthusiasm and interest are shown on the faces of these French Club members, during one of their reg- ular Tuesday meetings. 31 Basic theatrical procedures are explored. Mr. Fink lectures in some of the different phases of acting. During the year an attempt was made to hit upon many topics. Drama Ensemble Different skits are tried, some serious and some amusing as this one! L. Pauquette, G. Harrison, S. Davison, and B. Sausville are taking part. This year the Drama Ensemble was fortu- nate enough to have as its advisor Mr. Paul Fink, H.F.C.S. alumnus and theatrical stu- dent at Bennington College. Through him the members learned the mechanics of the theater and the fundamental techniques of acting. The year was divided in half to enable the members to get a taste of both the mechani- cal aspects of theatrical work, as in adapting to situations through action improvisations, and the production of a play, by first doing scenes from various plays and finally staging an entire production. Although the membership was quite large at first, many found that acting was not as easy as it sounded, and by the end of the first semester a comfortable group of twelve remained. Those people with that certain love of theater and hard work deserve much credit. They are: D. Bushey, S. Busby, S. Davison, C. Fink, D. Fowler, L. Paquette, C. Petersen, B. Sausville, G. Hall, G. Har- rison, J. Helft, and M. Rice. 32 Library Club The Library Club is a very necessary part of our school library and enables us to get the full benefit from the facil- ities open to us. The Club members are under the supervision of Mrs. Kelly and learn the duties and responsibilities of the hard working librarian. These numerous duties include organiz- ing magazines, checking out books, supervising the Junior High department and creating colorful and interesting dis- plays in the Library display window to be seen by all at vari- ous times. Although there is much work, it is fun and the girls enjoy it. This year the Library Club members have also partici- pated in the activities of the Elementary Library, lending a hand where it is needed, and making the practical knowl- edge which they have learned in Library Club of use. The officers this year include: President, A. Pudvar; Vice-President, M. Schmigel; Secretary-Treasurer, G. Cor- nell. Mrs. Kelly is hard at work as usual. She takes time out from her many duties to supervise the Library Club girls. CLUB MEMBERS: K. Foster, B. Tinkham, J. Hall, L. Seney, A. Pudvar, C. Cornell, S. Yurewitch.

Varsity Basketball 1964-65 Despite a mediocre season as compared to other years, this year's varsity proved themselves worthy representatives of our school. All of the games were hard-fought and provided many anxious moments for players and spectators alike. Perhaps the most exciting game was a non- league contest against Averill Park played on the home court. Overcom- ing a 16 point halftime deficit, the boys had tied the score at the end of regulation play. The score was still deadlocked after the first 3 minutes overtime but a rally in the second overtime brought the Hoosiers to vic- tory, winning finally by 2 points. In the Mechanicville Christmas tournament we reached the finals for the second year in a row and came home with the second-place trophy. Each game, win or lose, was played with the desire to win strong in the hearts of the players but, unfortunately, the slump that plagued the team stayed with it most of the year. The team finished with 7 wins and 9 losses. However with many of this year's players returning, next year's squad should prove to be a real threat to other teams in the league.

During the season of 1964- 65, the cheerleaders of H.F.C.S. have boosted the spirit and morale not only of the students but of the players themselves. The pep and enthusiasm of our girls is dis- played both on the side lines and during time-out periods. 35 csV Precise rhythm is displayed by the varsity cheerleaders in their Let's Go cheer.

Basketball This year the New Manage- ment sign was up on the J. V. locker room as Coach Wheeler took over coaching the Little Hoosiers. ” The boys were mostly the same though; a little more ex- perienced and playing a little bet- ter ball this year. The new faces added to last year's squad gave this year's team a little variety and snap and helped to make this year a relatively successful one with 5 wins, far surpassing last year’s record. The boys worked hard and both they and Coach Wheeler deserve to be congratu- lated on the team's improvement. These are the girls who cheer for our J. V. players. BOTTOM ROW: S. Brownell, L. Brust.

The Senior Band brings the gaiety of the holiday Senior Band No other organization in this school requires of its partici- pants more work, time, skill, and concentration than the Sen- ior Band, and at the same time returns to the member such enjoyment and sense of accomplishment. To the students in the group and its director, Mr. H. Luther Everly, a lot of credit is due, for the organization has attained a reputation which is not only respected by the school and community, but also by the entire county. This year the band held its annual Christmas concert with a very favorable outcome. A tape was made at the concert and was used as an audition for the opportunity of playing at the World’s Fair. This audition was a complete success, for not only did the band play at the New York Pavilion on April 22, but the group had the immense honor of playing at the United States Pavilion on April 23. In the last two competitions the band has achieved a B rating in the most difficult level of music. Each time the A rating was missed by only a few points. The aim of the Senior Band is to develop each student both musically and mentally so that he will be able to take his place in an adult world with a sense of cultural value and a mature mind. We, the members of the senior class who have worked in band with Mr. E since our freshman year, the first year he taught at HFCS, take this opportunity to express our appreciation to him for his help and understand- ing these past four years. 40 BOTTOM ROW - S.

Senior Chorus On every Tuesday and Thursday, A and B lunch hour, the more than fifty members of the Senior Chorus gather to- gether for rehearsals in the auditorium. Due to this devoted practice and the direction of Mrs. Eloise Canzeri, the group has attained area recognition for fine tonal quality and chor- al balance. At Christmas the Senior Band and Chorus had their own concert. This concert was a success both in terms of public attendance and musical effect. In late spring the chorus participated in the Tri-State Choral Festival at Bennington and the N, Y. S.S.M. A. Com- petition at Cambridge. These competitions allow the stu- dents to compare their performance with that of other choral groups and to learn various ways of improving their own style. The finale of the year for the chorus was the Spring Con- cert at which an impressive program consisting of a wide variety of musical selections was given. Much of the success the group has attained is due to the experience and capabilities of its director, Mrs. Canzari. 43 Christmas assembly and holiday concert BOTTOM ROW: L. Andrews, C. Williams, G.

This would have been a record worthy of any team, but in light of the improvement over last year's record it is particularly outstanding. The suc- cess of the squad can be attributed in part to the long hard hours of practice and drill every after- noon from 3:LD to 6:00. This year marked the first time that a crowd gathered in the gymna- sium at H. F. C. S. to see the grapplers demonstrate their know-how. Next year we can look forward to an even bet- ter record from the eleven returning members of the first string and the many supporting mem- bers of this year's squad. It is hoped that a flock of new blood will also be out for the team, and that the public interest and school support will grow along with the team. The boys should be congratulated for a fine year's performance. -ft The six winners of trophies for being the best wrestler in their weight class pose for the camera after the first Washington County meet.

Reynolds, vice president; G. Whittet, treasurer; and M. Benkoski, secretary. The student council representatives included R. Whittet, P. R. Armitage Holzhauer and W. Cottrell. The officers, under the supervision of Miss Hulihan, Mr. Peckham and Mr. Eastwick planned a dance after a basketball game. They made arrangements for several dances and fund raising activities. All this hard work was climaxed by the annual sophomore trip to New York. L. Bedard S. Brownell L. Brust B. Bushey J. Colgrove G. Cornell J. Cottrell W. Cottrell C. Davendonis L. DuRoss T. Dwyer S.

The windows were washed and then frosted with artificial snow. A huge blue spruce was bedecked with ornaments, lights, and icicles. Snowflakes which the students had made from tin can covers were suspended all about the walls, and an archway of evergreen was erected about the entrance. The tables were arranged and then covered with tablecloths and center - pieces constructed by the students. T o add a finishing touch a sprig of mistletoe was hung from the center of the ceiling under which all couples were bound to dance. Although the students were tired, they left at noon well pleased with their morning's work. When night came their efforts were rewarded for the cafeteria was truly beautiful. The blue lights of the Christmas tree gave a cool and relaxing atmosphere to the room. The snowflakes glis- tened and a scent of spruce was present in the air. Approximately forty-five couples attended and danced to the music of the Paul Kreiger orchestra. Refreshments were served and couples had the opportunity to have their picture taken if desired. The senior class wishes to extend their thanks to Mrs. Von Haggin who worked so hard to make this winter ball a success. J. Filkins and G. Pine pose for a picture un- der the archway. This opportunity was avail able to all couples attending the Snowflake Sonata. Mrs. Von Haggin does the honors at the punch bowl as many stu- dents take advantage of the special refreshments offered. The name of H.F.C.S. is sent around the world The radio club develops communication between friends near and far. CLUB MEMBERS: D. Hall, L. Kessler, M. Rice, M. Gottschalk. Blue Keys The study of radio-electronics has been shown to be an important factor in today's world and will definitely prove to be of increasing signifi- cance in the future. Therefore, radio clubs have been organized throughout the nation to stimulate awareness of the subject in the minds of youth. At H.F.C.S., the three year old Blue Keys radio club was organized to give stu- dents the opportunity to become acquainted with others who share their hobby all over the nation. The club has produced several licensed opera- tors who work the school station - WB2ESO - as well as their own rigs' at home. Blue Keys advisor, Mr. Wahler. instructs mem bers in Morse Code and prepares tnem for a lic- ense. With the powerful Ranger II transmitter and SX 120 receiver, students have made well over 300 contacts with ''hams'' in this and other countries, including Canada and Italy. The club is constantly looking for new mem- bers to send the name of Hoosick Falls across the nation and the world. M. Gottschalk and D. Hall send out a C. 0. from The Blue Keys Radio shack, station WB2ESO. In the past year the Hoosick ’’Hams have made an impressive list of contacts. 52 BOTTOM ROW: K. Pokines, B. Bushey, E.

Pokines, deserve much credit for their leadership in this worth-while club. F.T.A. Advised by Mr. Folgert and Mrs. Cunningham, the Hoosick Falls chapter of the Future Teachers of America en- joyed a very active and successful year. Officers elected in the Fall were: R. Pitt, President; B. Sausville, Vice-Pres- ident; L. Cappellino, Recording Secre- tary, S. Busby. Corresponding Secretary; and B. Bushey, Treasurer. One of the first activities undertaken by the club was the acting as guides at the annual open house for parents of high school students. Some of their activities include having movies and individual speakers at monthly meet- ings and going on field trips to various colleges. This Christmas the F.T.A. had a party for the special class. In March the officers also attended the F.T.A. convention in West Syracuse. Roxy Pitt helps Santa pass out presents at the Future Teachers Christmas party for the special class students. Junior Library Club Junior Library Club, assisted by Mr. Bruce Wheeler, elected the following members as officers: A. Stetson, President; B. Wilson, Vice-President; S. Elliot, Secre- tary; B. Sausville, Treasurer. This group learns the fundamen- tals which enable them to not only become fully aware of the uses of the library but also the principles behind the operation of the library. To fulfill the re- quirements of membership, a member must spend a certain amount of time assisting the lib- rarian. Thus he is learning by one of the oldest means, appren- ticeship. BOTTOM ROW: C.

Thus its purpose is to produce better and more in- formed citizens. Club officers are: R. Crowley, President; N. Lohnes, Secretary; and L. Shaw, Treasurer. A dance to raise money for club activities and a field trip to the state library highlighted the year. 54 Midterms Concentrated reading of notebooks, reviewing of past tests and quizzes, quickly covering textbook material, and perhaps even saying a few prayers are all part of the mid- term enigma. The above statement may give a brief ex- planation as to why midterm week is most often voted the longest week of the school year. Besides preparing for a series of ninety minute exams taken on Thursday and Friday, midterm week presents an opportunity to glance back on newly acquired knowledge. An appropriate analogy could lie in a gasoline station. A gasoline station serves to refuel cars and help them to con- tinue their journeys. So, too, does midterm week help a student refuel and continue on to the last half of the year. S. Ingraham finds it necessary to study diligently for his midterm examinations. Midyears prove to be a headache for students. The eighth grade typing class sweats through midterms. They tell us midterms are a neces- sary evil??? This French class tries to con- centrate on their midterm. With concentration like this these students are bound to suc- ceed. 55 Eighth Graders plan for next year L. Baertschi J. Baker T. Baldwin G.

Helft pins a rose on Steve Taber as he is inducted as one of two juniors to'be thus honored this year. The Hoosick Falls chapter of the Nat- ional Honor Society was chartered in 1944 with the prime purpose of giving recogni- tion for true leadership, service, character, and scholarship, to all eligible sophomores, juniors, and seniors. Tapping takes place in late February and the eligibility of a student depends upon his academic as well as social achievement. Students to be tapped are chosen by the faculty and to be considered for member- ship sophomores must have a minimum average of 90%, juniors 87%, and seniors 85%. Annually an Honor Banquet is held for all students in grades seven through twelve who have attained an average of 90% at least once during the academic year. 58 S. Ingraham administers the oath of the National Honor Society to the new initiates. After the re- petition of this oath, they are for- mally members of this elite club. the National Honor Society tapping. The new members of the society pose for a picture.

Junior Band One does not run before one walks and this simple truth applies to music also. Thus in Jun- ior Band which is composed of junior high students, each young musician learns to develop the skills and techniques that are necessary before he may tackle a piece by Berlioz or Shostakovich. This year the Junior Band is made up of fifty- five members under the direction of Mr. Everly. Last year they attended competition at Glens Falls and achieved an A on the first level of music. The younger drummers keep the tempo in dead earnest. Their sincerity here will lead to greater things in years to come in the senior band. 60 Competition gives the junior music groups a Junior Chorus Junior Chorus is the transition stage be- tween Elementary and Senior Chorus. This group consisting of 40 seventh and eighth grade students, is an important one since the success of the Senior Chorus of tomor- row depends on the Junior Chorus of today. Directed by Mr. William Tisdale and ac- companied by Warren Jones, Junior Chorus meets A and B lunch on Monday and Wed- nesday. Hard work culminated in excel- lent performances at Thanksgiving, Christ- mas and the Annual Spring Concert. This year the Chorus sang festival at competi- tion, which was held in Cambridge.

Boys’ Intramurals Again this year the gymnasium came alive with excitement on Tuesdays and Thursdays as volley- ball and basketball intramurals were held. The five team volleyball league consisted of the Pollocks, Whirlybirds, Last Ones, Tool Die, and thejetsons. The league developed into a two way battle between the Pollocks and the Whirly- birds with the Pollocks crowned champions with an overall record of 43 wins, 2 losses, and 2 ties. The basketball league consisted of four teams: the Horn Trompers, Burd's Boys, Retouchables, and the Happy Birds. The league was extremely close and the final outcome was not determined until the final day of competition when the Happy Birds were crowned as the champions. The games were usually close and provided many thrills. The boys also realized the value of team play and good sportsmanship. 63 R. Allen P. Babcock G. Bedard B. Bisson C. Bowman Junior Class With the assistance of Mr. Roy, Mr. Rodak, and Mr. Wahler, class advisors, the junior class has experienced a year filled with many new and different activities, as well as the old and familiar ones. The fall elections proved victorious for: W. Ingram, President; B. Cipperly, Vice-President; R. Allen, Treasurer; and T. Beckstein, Secretary. Student Council representatives chosen by the junior class were; S. Harrington, D. Scott, and R. Danforth. T. Bowman and G. Harrison were chosen to represent the class at the Citizenship Educa- tion Conference at Syracuse University. Upon receiving the results of their Preliminary Scholastic Aptitude Tests, many Juniors looked to Mr. Folgert for help in interpreting them. Mr. Folgert, who is never too busy for private discussions with pupils, helped many learn more fully about colleges and requirements. Following the Cambridge football game, the Juniors sponsored a dance which was attended enthusiastically by the many who were still jubilant over the victory. With the help and co-operation of faculty members, the class of 1966 is planning and working toward a wonderful prom which will end the school year perfectly. D. Bingham M. Bromirski C. Brownell S.

Windmills, giant wooden shoes, and streamers galore collaborated with the music of the Dave Jarvis Orchestra to create an atmosphere of revelry in the land of the Zuider Zee. At the eleventh hour a poign- ant silence enveloped the room as the court entered followed by their queen Roxy Pitt. The Tulpenfeest ended in a majestic manner as all joined the Grand March. Many tired and hungry couples found refuge in the Rainbow Room where a buffet style dinner was served. The previously reserved tables were complete with linen tablecloths, candles and even favors for the ladies. There were many innovations in con- nection with this Junior Prom. This year marked the first use of the gymnasium as the site which in turn permitted the rein- statement of the Grand March after a lapse of many years. The unprecedented finale of the evening was set by the banquet served in the cafeteria. It is hoped that future classes will adopt this idea and make it a tradition in the school. The success of Tulpenfeest was due not only to hard work aone by members of the Junior class but to the invaluable guidance of Miss Hulihan and Mr. Brostoski. The class of '66 takes this opportunity to give its sincere thanks to these people. A moment to be anxiously awaited is the start of the grand march. Class vice-president P. Harrison, his date L.
