Forward and upward we follow Foreword Our high school years are largely a series of steps. Besides our many hurried steps through the corridors every day, we climb a stair each time we enter a new grade. Every time we absorb a new fact or idea, it is a step in our own personal education. Or, if you prefer, when we finish a chapter in a textbook, we advance a degree toward com- pletion of the course. As we join clubs, 2 the steps of the school year. steps are taken towards becoming a more versatile, healthier, or happier person. Yes, steps are forever present. We make them one by one, climbing higher and higher until our high school years are over. Then our steps must follow another path: that of our individual aspirations for the future. 3 Table Of Contents ADMINISTRATION G FACULTY. . . S STUDENT LIFE ... 15 4 faculty And Administration v Up the steps we go until that long-awaited graduation day arrives. Then we realize the big task our teachers had preparing us for our futures. Up the stair- ways of adventure they take us, prodding our sometimes dulled minds with endless questions, looking not only for memorized facts but trying to bring our hidden creativity to the surface. But as they reel off the homework assignments we often have to grit our teeth to “keep our cools. Our administration solves many problems. Mr. Philip Leonard Superintendent Mr. Leonard does his job very well. As Superintendent he must keep everything in our school running smoothly. Although he does not deal directly with the students, his decisions affect their school life a great deal every year. Mr. William Waterhouse High School Principal Good morning, here are your morning announcements. The sound ol Mr. Water- house's voice brings every school day to an official start. Mr. Waterhouse has the un- pleasant job of disciplining unruly students, but he also carries on much work not so directly connected with us. He must solve all the problems presented by our complex high school. Mr. Kasmer Stempek Though we in high school see little of Mr. Stempek, he has a very important position. He is the head of the elementary administa- tive staff, and is responsible for the dis- cipline of unruly students in his sector. Under his direction students heading to- ward high school get their basic education. 5 Capable administration keeps the school running.

Math And Science Biology, Earth Science, and Chemistry are just a few of the challenging courses offered to students. Earth Science includes studies about outer space, weather, minerals, and land topography, which are invaluable to future geologists and engineers. Biology pro- vides a change-over to the more interesting parts of science study, plants and animals. Chemistry students carry on many experiences dealing with all sorts of dangerous chemicals. Watch out, Mr. Waltz! Physics students ana- lyze sounds of objects, and use formulas re- quiring a good math background. For math, students have a varied choice. Starting with the shock of algebra in ninth grade, they move through geometry in tenth grade. Intermediate algebra and trigonometry are the essential components of Math 11; calcu- lus and advanced algebra greet seniors in Math 12.

Students in seventh grade study only New York State History; in eighth grade they are given a chance to broaden their knowledge through the study of United States History. Upon entering high school they begin to prepare for the regents, which comes at the end of their senior year. This requires a much wider under- standing of history, beginning with the Crusades, continuing through the Mid- dle Ages and Renaissance, and culmina- ting in the more familiar, modern day events.

But even the physically fit are not immune to slight illnesses, and that's what the health department is around for. Under the skilled direction of two nurses and a dental hygienist most students' grievances can soon be rem- edied . Under the guidance of Miss Hulihan and Mr. Wahler of the business department, students learn business arithmetic and shorthand. And in the many shops, students learn skills in mechanics, car- pentry and ceramics. Future housewives gain knowledge in homemaking. 10 ranging from shorthand to ceramics.

The afternoon arrives all too quickly, and the two afternoon classes seem longer than the mornings four. With the bell’s final ring, however, students gladly go to buses or extra- curricular activities. Students begin the day with vim and vigor. The day may start off like this for most of us, but usually we liven up a little, only to be faced with harder trials in the land of learning. ■ 15 Many different moods and situations make 16 Students can be caught in many poses throughout the day. The stereotype student, studying con- stantly, just does not exist in our school. Though classes take up most of the day, most students succeed in having fun all the time. But it's after school that the real fun begins, with games and dances. It's here that students show their true colors. up a student's day. 17 Activities marking a day at H.F.C.S. are 18 varied. At HFCS students do many things to expand their knowledge. In labs students find themselves testing sci- entific facts and theories, and learn much about the procedures used in labora- tories. Teachers engage students in activities rang- ing from decorating class- rooms for the holidays to just having a good time playing checkers. Normal academic courses do much to add to a day. Also, al- though students hate to ad- mit it, they do find some classes interesting. Of course there are others. . . . but students manage to take such classes in stride. r i 19 The boring routine I of classroom study is Labs and shops provide a welcome break in the monotonous school day by allowing the student to do work other than trail- ing a pen across a paper. Gym especially helps work off a student's tension--and science labs are a great supplement to classroom lectures. In all these classes students are encouraged to think for themselves and not just have facts pounded into their brains. 20 What do students look forward to most in school? The irregular assemblies which give the day a different flavor? Lunchtime, which breaks up the endless run of classes? Or labs, where various worms and other animalia are disemboweled? Although these activities may attract certain students, the end of the day and the bus ride home still seem to have the greatest appeal to most of them. punctuated by gym, shop, lab, and assemblies. 21 Occasional mad moments combine with hours When it comes to drawing attention to themselves, most students could get an A pretty easily. Whether on the stairs, in the halls, or in the gym, it is not uncommon to see stu- dents goofing off in one way or another. However, these few mo- ments of letting loose are helpful in breaking up the tedium of the school day. 22 of diligent work in filling a school year. School can be fun but most students re- alize that it also involves a lot of seri- ous, hard work. Many tests and pop quizzes are given, and students just can't afford not to study a few hours every night for them. Students are rewarded for their long hours of studying, when, on report card day, they are able to sign up for the honor roll or merit list. 23 The 2:36 bell ends the day for only a few. The 2:36 bell, although ending classes for the day, does not mean the ride home for most students. Extra-curricular activities such as clubs, committees, or help in a particular subject, keeps many students in the school building un- til 4:10. Practice for sports even keeps some boys here until well after dark. 24 Activities Making decorations for the prom, typing up the school news- paper, snapping pictures for the yearbook, or practicing for the play; there’s an activity for everyone. When regular classes end, many students rush on to the last step in the school day. The seventh period offers a real wealth of varied activites to the student who wants some- thing more than the classroom has to offer. ''Quit fooling and get to work, says Pat Scag- lione to Darla DeLuca as they put the finishing touches on the street scene, which provided the background for the band. The girls put in hours of work, but had a lot of fun. Long hours of hard work. After careful measuring and marking, Frank Redden saws off an extra piece of wood as Walter Robson steadies it for him. The boys worked hard on the building of the frame for the Showboat. Have you got your gown yet? This is a familar question heard as you pass a happy group of girls when the time for the prom is drawing near. The boys, who aren't quite as happy, are busy earning money for the expenses that accompany a prom. Students found that hard earned money and long hours of work were well worth it when they entered the gym, which had been trans- formed into an 18th century Showboat. The Continentals, who provided the music, were situated in front of a colorful street scene. The queen and her court ascended the ramp onto the deck of the Showboat. When the dancing was done the couples entered the cafeteria, which was decorated as a gam- bling casino, for refreshments. The class of '68 was very pleased with its accomplishments and they wished to thank all those who made it possible for them. confusion and fun Junior Prom 26 The Grand March, one of the highlights of the eve- later proceeded to the cafeteria for refreshments, ning, worked up an appetite for the couples, who transformed the gym into a colorful showboat. The much-waited highlight of the evening is the crowning of the queen. The evening’s surprise went to astonished Chris McGarvin, who was given a re- splendent court. The lucky girls were—Patsy Wilson, Susan Frank, Darla DeLuca, 1966 Queen Nancy Steller, 1967 Queen Chris McGarvin, Pat Scagliane, Diana Brownell, Gloria Reynolds, Heather McLukas, and Barbara Smith. 27 Junior band and chorus prepare junior high ROW 1—N.

Junior Band With sixty-six members, the Junior Band, under the leadership of Mr. William Gaillard, has been working with music of modern band litera- ture this year. Included in their numbers are Themes from Beethoven's Third Symphony,” Clare Grundman's American Folk Songs, The Little Rhapsody in Blue” by George Gersh- win, and Wagon Train . Highlights of the year included some of the mem- bers playing in the Halleujah Band for the Christ- mas concert plus the spring concert. Springtime brought about the Adjudication Festival in which the band played on the third level. As Mr. Gaillard said, The Junior Band's pur- pose is to try to work up the level of each stu- dent to a point where they can perform well. With their enthusiastic leader, many reach this point and then proceed to Senior Band. Charles Hathaway and Donald St. Hilaire, among other students, sometimes stay to practice 7th period. 28 students for more advanced music later. (ROW 1) S. Brandalik, K. Sargood, M. Shaw, N.

Junior Chorus At this year's Christmas con- cert, the entire high school had the pleasure of hearing the ju- nior chorus. Open exclusively to junior high students, junior cho- rus helps them prepare for the more advanced senior chorus. The junior chorus sang also in the Spring Concert, this year accompanied by the senior band. For the first time, this year’s Junior Chorus participated in the All-State competition, held in Washington County this spring. Also on the agenda, was the All-County Tourna- ment on March 16 in which 26 of our young singers partici- pated, along with over 100 ju- nior high students from all over the county. At the Christmas concert, the chorus led the entire student body in singing Christmas carols. This came as a complete surprise to everyone, but all enjoyed it anyway. Here, seventh graders sing the loudest of all. 29 From Bach to folk rock, the senior FRONT ROW D. Brownell, L. Shaw, M. Gottschalk, B. Wilson ROW 2 F. Eldred, J. Lassor, J. Miller, S. Ogilvie, K.

What do you mean I didn't have to do this music? It's almost done! Linda Baertschi looks unbelieving as she finds that she just filed the wrong batch of music, which is part of her job as senior band librarian. So then she walked right out of the room, continues Michelle Restino to Debbie O'Neill, as they exchange current gossip while getting ready for their lesson. 30 band reaches for musical perfection. Senior Band It was ALL GO” for the senior band this year. Though it lost many mem- bers through graduation, new faces appeared and with new hopes went on to set higher goals and meet them. To avoid Mr. Everly's stare which seems to ask Did you bring your instrument home? , band members remember to make that last trip to the band room before the bus. Prac- tice, practice, practice!! Under Mr. E's directing arm, the product of enthusiasm, diligent music lessons and hard work can be heard three days a week as high school musicians play through pieces varying from Overture 1812 to Born Free to Dixieland Jamboree . Mr. James Burke, a renowned pro- fessional trumpet player, was the guest musician at the Pops Concert in February which centered on the popular sounds of today. Though a first for the band, the presentation of two guest players was a whopping success. Just as successful were the Christmas and spring concerts, put on for the public. Weeks of pre- paration and practice paid off when the band brought home high ratings of their playing skills and musical interpretation. It was a year to be proud of! Come on, Clyde, let me practice tying this stupid bowtie once more before I put it on, pleads Peter Robson to Clyde Rowland as he gets ready for his senior band picture. Now look, you guys, you're going to play this thing right if it's the last thing you do. Mr. Everly gives the members of the baby brass ensemble a pep talk before they play their recital, which is a requirement for belonging to senior band. 31 Dance Band members Clyde Rowland, Bernie Paquette, Jim McGuire, Betty Sharkey, Jane Brenensthu! and Dick Kuebler put finishing touchs on Pops Concert music. Their hard practice was responsible for the concert's success. Dance Band Clarinet Choir Monday night proves to he a very musical night, with the sounds of oom-pa’s and toots of clarinet choir and dance band. Dance band, a newer organization under the direction of Mr. Everly, is composed of a jazz group of trombones, saxophones, trumpets and tubas. Their Pops Concert with jimmy Burke was a whopping success. Clarinet choir is a clarinet en- semble under the direction of Mr. Gaillard. It yearly takes a trip to competition, from which it has gained two A’s in the past two years. Along with competition it has an annual concert at St. Mark’s Church plus many other concerts which they play at various schools throughout the year.

Senior Chorus Passing by on their way to lunch on Tues- days and Thursdays, students hear the sounds of echoing voices as the chorus practices in the auditorium. Mrs. Can- zeri and the chorus members spent many noon hours practicing so they would sound just right, and their efforts paid off with two fine concerts. During Christmas vacation they presented the annual Christmas Concert and during Easter vacation, the Spring Concert. They also performed for student as- semblies throughout the year and, in one of these, the chorus helped in the initiation of our new teachers by letting them accompany the chorus in a strange rendition of Jingle Bells. 33 All the rules and methods of producing a yearbook must be taught to new staff members each year and retaught to some old ones. Advisor Mr. Beaulieu is always around to give advice and to help members like Faye Eldred. Besides this, he must keep the whole staff working, check and rccheck all finished work, and perform a barrage of other time-consuming duties throughout the year. Yearbook The Yearbook staff started early last September to meet the mammoth task of producing the annual. First the type style and cover design had to be chosen. When October came, the editors went on a three-day trip to Columbia Uni- versity, and found to their surprise that last year's book had won a first place award. Upon returning home they started work on this year's book with hope for higher honors . Results of a week's selling campaign were disappointing, but those of the Hippie Dance weren't. To meet rising costs more money was needed, though, and the staff went on to hold dances after basketball games. With the sup- port of the Board of Education, the en- ormous costs were met. Working Saturday afternoons grew to be a regular event as the staff strug- gled to meet the four deadlines set by The American Yearbook Company. Happily, the quota of pages were met, and the yearbook’s publishing date wasn't set back by the company. By the middle of March all deadlines had been met and the main job was done. For the remainder of the year, the editors checked proofs and made last minute corrections. The result was well worth the effort. The yearbook staff met deadlines with long, Mistakes made in drawing up yearbook pages can be very irritating, especially if it is late on a Saturday afternoon. To yearbook members Debbie Marchand, Leah Bissonette, Greg Taber, and Faye Eldred, the prospect of another half-hour's work is dismal indeed. 34 Yearbook typists, like Anita Niles, Donna Therriault, and Pat Dowling, have the all- important job of typing captions and write- ups on factory-provided sheets so that they can be sent to the publisher before dead- lines whizz past. Often they must decipher nearly illegible handwriting, but they always get done on time. You going to put that picture in? asks Nancy Tumbelston, as she helps Marilyn Frazier and Susan Elliott draw up pages. Heated arguments often occur when questionable pictures find their way onto unfinished pages. hard work. Do you think we should give senior band two pages? asks Editor Richard Domine. He, with Associate Editors Martha Elliot and Lawrence Rice, is responsible for the book's layout and production. 35 School newspaper reactivated this year. Journalism Club Co to it, Mr. Peckham! Industrious typing and encouraging leadership inspire the members of the journalism Cluh. A new organization this year, the journalism club has provided us with our school newspaper the Blue and White. Although it comes out only on the average of once a month, the members of the club work very hard to make each issue interesting, humorous, and informative. Under the leader- ship of Mr. Peckham, the journa- lism club works about three nights a week on the paper. Assignments are given out, turned in to the editor when completed, then checked and typed. After all as- signments are completed and typed, they are sent to the Stan- dard Press where our paper is printed. Soon after this the mem- bers of the staff travel through the school halls selling the news- papers for 10( a copy. We hope this club will continue its work and produce even better and more frequent newspapers next year! Tune Dedications take up just ONE column—really Charlie! exclaims Richard Carver. Chuck Crowley, Richard Carver, and Charlie Frazier ponder over the arrangement of the school newspaper. 36 Scholastic achievement is recognized by N.H.S. Members: Leah Bissonette, Richard Domine, Paul O'Brien, Judy Roys, Carol George, and Faye Eldred are shown before the spring tapping. Behind them stands the society's emblem, the flaming torch and keystone symbolizing the ideal education. Hard study is necessary to anyone who wants to meet the high scholastic standards dictated by the Honor Society code. Member Faye Eldred certainly meets those require- ments with her marks and the concentration necessary to attain them. National Honor Society One of the most exclusive groups in the school is the National Honor Society. Each year new members are tapped in an impressive ceremony in the spring. They are chosen on the basis of scholarship, leadership, character, and service. To qualify students must maintain an average of 90 if a sophomore, 87 if a junior, and 85 if a senior. The members have been honored for what they have accomplished and the promise they hold for the future. This year, scholarship was demon- strated by society members Carol George, Richard Domine, and Brenda Coates and non-member Walter Rob- son who received Regents Scholar- ships. Carol George won the D.A.R. Good Citizen Award, and Brenda Coates won the Betty Crocker Home- maker Award. 37 The hard work of “ Onstage” members has paid Drama Club is not all dramatic mo- ments on stage; long hours of practice and memorizing scripts is necessary, as these actresses-to-be discover. Practice, hard work as it is, is fun and a rewarding experience. 'Tisten gang, this is positively the last time we're going over this script, says Mr. Pedersen, but his work has sure paid off. The drama club's productions have all been tremendous successes. 38 off with full houses and standing ovations. Drama Club Again Mr. Pedersen has brought the drama club through an exciting and enter- taining year for the members as well as the many people constituting the various audiences. The year started off with a bang as the Sound of Music was nre- sented three evenings in a row to a ca- pacity audience. It was the delight of the town and heralded as the best and most scenic musical ever performed at HFCS. With some of the profits from the pro- duction. the drama club members jour- neyed to several schools to see presenta- tions by other high school actors. Much of the remainder of the money was used to purchase materials for scenery and costumes for the drama club’s second successful play of the year, The Mouse that Roared. This too attracted a great many spectators. All in all this has been one of the best and most eventful years for the Drama Club. We are looking for- ward to an even better one next year! Right, Mr. Pedersen? None in the audience watching The Sound of Music will ever forget Colonel Von Trapp's children. With their superb performance, they won their way into everyone's heart. Shown here are the young actresses and actors: Ann Moseley, Kendal Baker, Carol Brenenstuhl, Wayne Brownell, Amy Moseley, Laura Moseley, and Mindy Robson. One of the best parts, from the viewpoint of the au- dience, of The Sound of Music was the wedding scene. Everyone appreciated the beauty of it, and thought that having the bridal procession go up the aisle was a wonderful idea. Though having seemingly unimportant parts, the nuns in The Sound of Music did much to set the mood of the entire play. Here are Karen Kovage and Susan Brandilik in their nuns' habits. 39 Officers guide individual classes while SENIOR OFFICERS: SEATED: Frank Redden, Vice-President; Walter Robson, President.

I nominate Jeff Burdick for president . This cry was heard among the fresh- man class last October when the entire class met to elect their class officers. The freshman class was the only class to elect a girl as an officer. The rest of the classes are dominated by boys. That's okay. Men are supposed to be better leaders anyway, but it sure makes the girls feel left out. The senior officers worked hard to pull their class through the hard work that accompanies the Winter Ball, which is put on by the seniors. The junior offi- cers, who were all from the same home- room, could often be heard discussing money-raising projects in the morning. Their job of solving problems made by the junior class prom is an extremely difficult one. The sophomore and fresh- man officers help prepare their classes for the problems and responsibilities they will face as juniors and seniors.

This seems to be a frequent announcement, since Student Council is constantly meeting to plan new and different activities for the students. Under the guidance of Miss Hulihan. Stu- dent Council has been very active and helpful this year. Early in the year, they planned a pep rally, followed by a box lunch preceding the first football game of the year. It was all very successful and everyone seemed to enjoy themselves. Later in the year Student Council brought the mysterious Computer Dance to our school. In between they have had money- raising projects, such as selling Christ- mas candles and stuffed toys. They have also been a great help by selling refresh- ments at such activities as the Sound Of Music . We are all very grateful for their efforts to make school life more pleasant for us. SEATED: P.

Six minus four equals two, says Linda Niles to a student who needs a little extra help with his math. Helping elementary students is one of the many jobs per- formed by Future Teachers. One of the most active organizations in the school, Future Teachers As- sociation gives members a chance to work with elementary teachers and do some practice teaching. Mrs. Norma Cunningham, Mr. Michael Brewster, and Mr. William Gaillard are the club advisors. Their presi- dent, Anita Niles, has led the club through a very busy year. Confused parents were guided to their child- ren’s rooms at the annual open house by FTA members. Future Teachers conducted a Christmas party for the special class and brought them pres- ents from Santa Claus. They also held a conference here with members from Cambridge school, where they discussed projects for the future. Their biggest activity of the year, how- ever, was working with elementary students and teachers, and it was not unusual for these devoted members to spend many of their noon hours and study halls working with elementary classes. The members of the Future Teachers help elementary teachers with their classes in order to acquire experience which may help them later on in their careers as teachers. Donna Brownell often takes over a kindergarten class en- abling the teachers to take a break. 42 Library Club members have an absorbing job. Library Club The library is not a place to visit! These are words often used by Mrs. Kelly, the librarian, on students who think that the library is not a place to study. Mrs. Kelly tries very hard to keep the noise down so that those students who want to can study. In the meantime, the caretaking of the li- brary cannot be forgotten. Mrs. Kelley's job is made easier for her with the help of the girls who are members of the Library Club. Each girl, during her free time, takes over as librarian, checks books in and out, puts books back on the shelves, collects fines, and issues slips on overdue books. During the meetings of the Library Club, Mrs. Kelly instructs the girls in ways to better their work as librarians. With their expert work, the library is kept in tip-top shape. We are all grateful to Mrs. Kelly and the members of the Library Club for the won- derful job they do in keeping the library such a handy and pleasant place in which to work and study. Anne Marie Ogcrt shows that being Library Club President is not just a nominal chore but in- volves many hours of hard work. Categorizing books and putting them back on the shelves is one of the many jobs involved in the operation of the library.

Through the year, the school gives students many opportunities to get together to talk, dance, and socialize at dances. This year one of the most popular dances was the Hippie Dance spon- sored by the Yearbook. A prize was given for the best-dressed hippie. The school calendar is also filled with picnics and games, but the cul- mination of the social year comes at the Junior Prom. After the hustle and bustle of the Juniors' trying to get it ready, everyone attending arrives to be in the Grand March and to see the much awaited crowning of the queen. You can't take my picture, my mother will kill me! shouts Bernie Davendonis as the photographer tries to get him to stand still. Bernie, along with Brian Valentine, won a prize for being the best-dressed hippie at the Hippie Dance sponsored by the yearbook. I hope I get it straight, jokes Nancy Steiler, class of '67, as she crowns Chris McGarvin queen of the class of '68. Escorts Terry Neaton and Chuck Robson, respectively, look on during the ceremony. 44 social life of the school year. Have a pickle! suggests Wendy Waterhouse at the Rally Day Festivities as she, Patsy Hayes, and Patty Ogilvie eat their box lunches before the game. Now repeat after me once more, Pi try is a nice guy . . . Pitty is a nice guy . . pleads Carr Pitt as he irons out his problems with Karen McMartin at a school dance. Hey, you guys, quit the clown- ing. We just made another bas- ket, shouts an excited spectator to Kathy Luskin and Tom Crowley as they take their eyes off the game for just a minute to strike a friendly pose for the camera. 45 Exchange students experience new ideas. International Fellowship With the International Fellowship, Hoosick Falls Central School is trying to be a good neighbor to our friends in South America. For three years students from our school have been sent to many different countries below the equator during their summer va- cations, and, in return, South American students have visited Hoosick Falls during their summer vacations. The purpose of this organization is to promote understand- ing between the peoples of North and South America. Last summer, Walter Robson traveled to Chile and Frank Reynolds visited Peru. This winter Cesar Mejia from Armenia, Columbia stayed with the Reynolds family, and Oswaldo Inchauspe from Mendosa, , Argentina stayed at the Robson home. All students in the program attend local schools and participate in the social life of the com- munity they visit, enabling them to become acquainted with the customs and ideas of others. For our visitors from South America, lunch time is a time to exchange ideas and jokes with our students, and to learn interesting facts about life in this country. The boys' perpetual humor affects any conversation. No, you don't say it like that, explains Keith Robson to exchange student Oswaldo Inchauspe, as Oswaldo struggles to understand local jargon. Overcoming language barriers is just one of the headaches of visitors from foreign countries. You can be bottom man, says Oswaldo to Francis Downing as they prepare to practice a wrestling hold in gym class. Hoosick Falls students find wrestling the exchange students a challenge. 46 Sports -m I � Rally Day was the first chance for the entire student body to participate in a football game, and it was a tremendous success. But most of the student body participates in some type of sports activity, be it intramurals; varsity or junior varsity football, base- ball, or basketball; wrestling; or the several junior high sports. A nd certainly at the games them- selves the true spirit behind our sports comes out and every stu- dent participates, at least in mind, in every sport-definitely a step in the development of a fuller human being. ■ Sports like baseball attract many students.

Baseball If you heard an Oh no, not again” from a mem- ber of last spring's baseball team, you wouldn't have been able to tell if it was because of a loss or a cancelled game. Rain continually soaked the diamond and kept the Hoosiers from showing their best colors, until it finally became nec- essary to play despite the inclement weather. The season began with a very encouraging win over Mt. Greylock in a non-league game. How- ever, when all was told, the team had acquired only 4 wins in league competition. Equally dis- heartening was the loss to Whitehall in the sec- tionals . The team practiced hard and did its best, though, with the support of the Hoosick Falls spectators. Under Coach Roy’s supervising eye, the team made every enemy victory a tough one. HFCS Opp. 13 Mt.

Varsity Football Getting the season off to a smashing start with Rally Day, the football squad continued to live up to the expectation of the entire season. One of the most popular outdoor sports, football is played with vigor and watched with ex- citement. With the cheers of the fans encouraging them, the members of the team find it somehow easier to break through their opponents lines and make the all-valuable touchdown. Making a good showing of themselves wherever they played, the boys suc- ceeded in continuing HFCS's excellent football record. Coach Turi has good reason to be proud of this team and to expect an even better season next year with the return of some of his best players, and the addition of many ex- cellent players from the JV team . Come on boys--we gotta win. --Dave Scott, Gary Fitzpatrick and other teammates concentrate on the game, anxiously waiting their turn to play. 49 Good try, Carr. Noted for His long runs, this is one of the few instances where Carr Pitt was cut short by an opponent. Victory after victory brings enthusiasm There he goes again, shouts an excited spectator, as Del Wysocki charges to make 6 more points. Del's many touchdowns made him the top scorer in the area.

Their chief gain, however, was not in points but in experience, gained from long hours of practice. With Coach Dewey's guidance the J. V. 's learned to correct their mistakes and improve their game. Teamwork, es- sential in any sport, developed through- out the year. Earning a 13 to 5 record, the preparedness and practice of our team helped overcome most opponents. It is obvious to any spectator that great things are in store not only from next year's J.V. squad, but in future varsity teams to be molded from these players.

This year, compiling a record of I I wins and only 7 losses, the 1967-68 Hoosier Varsity team made hours of practice pay off with victories against stubborn opponents. Under Coach Leslie John- son's careful instructions, the team learned new moves and tactics which often made the differ- ence between defeat and victory. Most of the team members are juniors now and promise even greater things next year. The squad started the year off with a shaky de- fensive, which gradually improved with time. The good offensive maneuvers and high scoring of the top five--Del Wysocki. Paul Cipperly. Ray Morin, Tom Starr, and Chuck Sheffer-- hclped to counter balance any problems of de- fense. F.C. ,s.

During a tough game Coach Johnson gives instructions to his disappointed team in an attempt to boost their moral Encouraged, the squad goes back to continue the battle. 55 Every team needs a coach to guide it to success. Here Coach Johnson confers with the managers of the varsity team, Chuck Hall and Charlie Frazier. In the act of gaining a point for H .F .C . S., Tom Starr makes a jump shot. Just in case he misses, the rest of the team prepares to catch a rebound. Team work is essential to the Hoosiers. The cheerleaders are instru- mental in building school spirit. Shown in one of their formations, they arc: M. Gifford, L. Cor- nell, F. Eldred, P. Sherman, C. Carelli, J. Miller, K. Kovage, G. Reynolds, P. Wilson, B. Sausville . 56 Practice is essential to any sport and this is especially true of wrestling. Although most of the time is spent learning the basic moves, developing strength with calisthenics, and developing speed, an important part of the training involves regular practice matches between members of the squad. Here are Dennis Smith and Bill Miller taking part in just such a match. Hoosiers take league wrestling championship. In matches, the Hoosier wrestling team gets to show its true colors. With all wins in league matches, the team is surely to be admired. Here Butch Williams gains the advantage over his opponent. 57 Wrestling Good as the 1966-67 wrestling season was, the 1967-68 season topped it. By winning all league games and most of the non-league games, the Hoosier wrestling squad has established itself as an opponent to be feared. In every tournament in which the team has par- ticipated, it has distinguished itself. Standing the grueling practice, which a wrestler must go through to be able to compete effectively with an opponent, requires a great love for the sport and will to be the best wrestler possible. The moves and general skills learned in these practice sessions enable a wres- tler to conquer an opponent and help him win the match for his school. And not to be forgotten is the J.V. wres- tling squad, which provides the assur- ance that H.F.C.S. will have a wres- tling squad to be proud of for years to come.

Shouts, whistles blowing, and the gym filled Girls Intramurals Soccer, volleyball, basketball, apparatus, tumbling, softball? Take your pick . These sports are carried on throughout the school year not only in gym classes but during 7th period for those who want more prac- tice while having a good time. Challenging interscholastic games give them the oppor- tunity to use what they have learned. Mrs. Reeve, the new physical education teacher, has brought new ideas and inspirations, spurring on team competition with an atmo- sphere of good sportsmanship. Regardless of the season there is always plenty of activity. With the fall come soc- cer balls, hockey sticks, shin guards, and grass-stained sneakers as the girls race around the field struggling to make a goal for their teammates. Snowfall brings the girls inside to play exciting basketball and volleyball games. While the girls practice teamwork in these sports, crea- tive dance and apparatus intramurals are available for those who wish to concentrate more on improving their own gymnastic skills. Once again out in the fresh air, the scene switches to softball and preparation for the county girls’ track and field meet. Hoosier girls gained recognition for their ability by winning a red ribbon in 1967. With continued practice, they hope to beat their own record. There's nothing like a rousing game of hockey to relax the mind and stimulate the body after a hard day of studying. These girls are playing hard against their classmates now, but many of them will soon be fighting for the honor of H .F .C .S. at sports days with other schools. Well, don't just stand there, hit the ball up the field! Hockey games are usually fast and furious because if you stand there too long you're going to lose that ball! Hey, girls, the scoring team runs back! It may be that Kathy Hall, Laurie George, and Marie Ingra- ham are tired from their soccer game but they cer- tainly seem to be enjoying it. 60 with girls—that must be girls' intramurals! You've got to get up off your feet if you're going to get jump balls, and here Bonnie Wilson shows how it's done. Volleyball is one of the many sports the girls participate in during winter. Good serv ing is important in volleyball; and Kathy Stevens realizes it as she tries to make a point for her team. Come on Karen, s-t-r-e-t-c-h! Karen Kovage puts all her effort into going after a jump ball, but Jean Cutler has beat her to it. Better luck next time, Karen! 61 Perfection is the goal in girls' sports. Now I think we ought to do something about school spirit, says Bev Sausville. The cheerleaders sit down for a bull session before the real work begins. Ready? Sound-off! Patsy Wilson starts off the cheer to welcome the opposing school. To show their hospitality the cheerleaders invite the visiting cheer- leaders to cats in the cafeteria at half time. Kath , Pm the official for this game, so shut up! says Diane Deluca when Kathy Prebble disagrees with the call she just made . 62 Underclassmen Running into classmates, banging lockers, and pestering seniors are all common traits of underclassmen. They also do a good job at annoying their teachers by chewing gum, being late to class and forgetting to do their assignments. With all their faults they are still capable of doing useful things such as sponsoring dances and supporting their team at the ball games. They all look forward to the day when they will reach the highest step in the school as Seniors, and they no longer will be classified as underclassmen. Seventh graders experience a new world. Richard Altenreid Raymond Atwood Kendal Baker Norman Baker Elizabeth Baldwin Susan Banks Robert Benkoski Nancy Betit John Biller Every year the seventh grade provides us with a mass of new faces, personal- ities and brains. This year they are somewhat extraordinary because they are the biggest class that has ever existed in this school. In the beginning of the year they look at life in this new wing as a very confusing rush. Facing their first experience with changing classes, students sometimes find it hard to adjust to the mere four minutes allotted to get books and reach the next class room. On top of this, the rotating schedule is an entirely different ad- venture. Within a couple of weeks, however, they enjoy their life as seventh graders.

Eighth graders work The eighth grade agenda consists of advanced curriculum in order to prepare the students for the big step into high school next year. Scholastically, they are preparing for high school with courses including: American history, binary arithmetic, English, and general sciences. Many opportunities also await them, such as senior band and chorus. Some already are preparing for these by participating in the Junior band and chorus. Also, such activities as drama, cheerieading newspaper, FTA, and International Relations Club await them next year. Everything done in the eighth grade is aimed towards one goal; success in the next four years of their education. 66 William Godfrey David Green Eugene Green Robert Green Leo Guerin George Hagadorn Donald Hall Kathi Hall William Hall Bertha Harrington Harry Harrington John Harrington 4 ''+ 0 7 Only ten minutes left! groans Bob Adams as his pencil flies over his exam paper.

As newcomers to high school, they face a decision, choosing subjects which will start to prepare them for a college career, business job, or other vocation.

The 1967-68 year is one of many decisions and events for the entire junior class. Heading the junior class are: Dave Scott, president; Bruce Robson, vice-president; Jim Mihuta, secretary; and Dennis Lebarron, treasurer. Their leadership has made possible the success of the events planned by the juniors. Juniors show their ability and responsibility in many different ways. Along with the hard work, there are many highlights--in- cluding the reception of class rings, and the Junior Prom, the most important social event of the year.

During the busy school day, few students find time to discuss the day's activities. m Fred v Yager 80 Seniors Shouts, laughs, and a few tears; that's what you 'll gel from the graduates of 1968. Sad to leave? Sure are! Of course, it was a little rugged at times, but we put up a good fight and made it. In the fall it seems that June will never come. Then some- time during the thaw of winter, they realize how fast time is going and how soon there wouldn’t be any more waiting for the bells that end classes. Graduation Day marks the last lime that our class will ever be gathered together as a whole. Although glad to leave. Seniors can't help but express a little regret at having reached the summit of their secondary education. Many events make a senior's life exciting. LESLIE E. ANDREW The senior's day in school is not restricted solely to classroom ac- tivities. During seventh periods the senior's life is taken up with exciting activities. Seniors like Dale LaFond think making deco- rations for the Winter Ball is certainly more fun than staying after school as punishment for misbehaving.

This thermometer just isn't working right. Though having to cope with a few hypochondriacs, the nurses do a fine job in remedy- ing the ills of all who find their way to the nurses' offices. } f 82 I don't need my teeth checked. I use Ultra-Brite, says Billy Miller as he awaits his last visit with Mrs. Spence. At the beginning of the year, all students at H. F. C.

SANDRA BETT1E GARDNER SUSAN ANNE FRANK DEBORAH GARDNER 83 Pretty cute, Deb.

MOTSIFF 87 With the final ring of the bell, many students heave a sigh of relief and start for their buses; the school day is over at last. Jo-Anne Stewart and Cwynne Leibenspcrgcr, looking forward to a few hours of relaxation hurry to the scramble of boarding the bus. For others, the end of classes signals the start of greatly enjoyed extracurricular activities. As an exhausting day of tests ends, seniors 88 DEBORAH NORTON ANNE MARIE OCERT EVELYN PECKHAM Another day of tests. Although many think that honor students like Carol George breeze through the Mid-Terms, even she knows that high marks are only created by many hours of study and concentra- tion. The effort pays off, however, with good marks on these all- important exams. rejoice to head homeward and relax. 89 Dave Rowley, John Kane, Linda Sheridan, Heather McLuckas and Evelyn GLORIA JEAN REYNOLDS Peckham show that their senior year is not just a time for fun as they pre- pare for an English test. Twelfth grade students find that they must CLYDE JOSEPH ROWLAND WALTER LEONARD ROBSON DAVID C. ROWLEY PATRICIA DAWN RICHMOND HEDY LAURA RUEBEL JUDY ROYS study diligently to insure success. Oh no, looks like Kathy's late again. Kathy Prebblc, one of many students who find themselves alone in the hall after the bell has rung, hurries to get books for her next class. Most students find it hard to get to their locker between every class. BARBARA ELAINE SMITH 91 DOUGLAS SPRAGUE JO-ANNE STEWART RICHARD TABER Expressing varied emotions, girls in this class greet a test. Pat Dowling is obviously anticipating a high mark, while Pat Scag- lione shows bored detachment. Are you drying to escape reality Pat? Marie Gifford and Wanda Lohnes are already hard at work, knowing that they need every moment of their time to achieve a good mark on this test, but Darla DcLuca has to ponder a difficult point before she can start.
