The Yearbook Staff of Hoosick Falls Central School presents 1975-76 Memories in words and pictures in Vagabond II FORWARD 1976 is the year of our country’s 200th birthday. We as high school students may not realize the im- portance of this year. It marks the anniversary of the founding of the United States of America. Think how differentThe world’s'history would be without 1 tE|e U.S.A.! We have served as examples of the use of the principles of democracY goverhm£tt f figQtA ££ years. Movements such as women’s rights, civil rights, and free love have started here. have paved the way for further development in the areas of science, technology, and space exploration. FThe seniors graduating from high school will go out into the world and play fheir individual parts in making the present futuri history. m Table Of Contents Administration..................

Mr. Waterhouse Mr. Leonard Dedication The 1975-76 Vagabond II staff dedi- cates this year’s yearbook to MR. PECK- HAM. The staff recognizes Mr. Peck- ham’s contribution to Hoosick Falls Central School both in the classroom and in all of his extracurricular work. His vibrant personality and dedication in the classroom contributes to a mean- ingful educational experience to all students associated with him. Mr. Peckham’s contribution to the produc- tion of Vagabond II throughout the year’s has been overwhelming. Often his expertise and guidance has gone unnoticed, but without his assistence the quality of H.F.C.S. would not be where it is. His many hours beyond school time taking and developing pictures is noteworthy. He is often found developing pictures after school, evenings, and during vacations. It is because of these reasons that we feel Mr. Peckham deserves this token of our graditude. RECOLLECTIONS I Remember Happier Days. Carefree, Love-Filled, Beautiful Days With A Friend At My Side. Laughter Overflowing, Smiles Pervading Consciousness, Pleasure Overcoming pain. I Remember Time Has Conquered. Days Thought Never To Have Come Have Slipped Away. Memories Are All That’s Left But They’ll Be Treasured, Loved, And Relived Thousands Of Times Over. The Future Will Make More Anne Leeseman SENIORS This year's Senior class holds a special place in time. They will be among the hundreds of others around the country who will be graduated in this year of 1976, our country's bicentennial. The year's activities included a very successful magazine drive, in which the Seniors set a re- cord in money raised, the Senior Prom, and the annual Senior trip. As they leave H.F.C.S. and take their places in the world, we wish for them all the happiness and success that lne can provide, and hope they take with them fond memories of H.F.C.S. 8 SEATING: Lis Pedersen—Secretary, Stew Peckham—President, Jane Kipp--Vice-President, Laurie McCabe— Treasurer.

As the season progressed the offense overcame its slug- gish beginning to keep the Hoosiers in most of their games. The defense played a consistently fine game throughout the season. The season was highlighted by a heartbreaking 8-6 loss to the eventual Super Bowl winner, St. Mary's of Glens Falls. Tom Folgert and Keith LaPorte were selected to the con- ference all-star team. With a blending of seasoned veterens and a fine J.V. squad, 1976 should be a respectable year. VARSITY FOOTBALL HOOSICK FALLS OPPONENT 6 St. Mary 8 6 St. Peters 24 0 'Ft.

Junior Varsity Football The 1975 Junior Varsity football squad, led by Coach Baker and Coach Greenberger, consisted of Juniors and Sophomores. The squad demonstrated a variety of of- fenses and a strong defense on its way to a winning sea- son of 3 wins, 2 losses, and 1 tie. Many fine perform- ances and good spirits highlighted a gratifying season.

The Hoosick Falls cheer- leaders once again provided the spirit that is evident at all Hoo- sier football games. The girls spent many hours after school making posters and upgrading cheers in preparation for upcom- ing games. Even though the team suffered through a losing season, the Hoosier cheerleaders kept spirits and morale high through their hard work and dedication. She's got leggs! You tell 'em, Sally. 75 It's kick off time for the cheerleaders. Cross Country This season's cross country team finished the season with a 7-8 record. Although the sea- son was one of losses, there are many improved runners return- ing next year. Cross country is a sport combining individual talents working into team points. With several returning veterans, 1976 should be a rel- atively strong year for the Hoosier harriers. Bill is on his way to a victory! Kevin Herrington bursts acrosss the finish line. And they're off and running at the cross country meet. KNEELING L. TOR.: M. Grenier, C. Smith, E. Wells, B. Seney, J. Davock. STANDING: Mr. Russert, K. Herrington, J. Cook, E. Sandow, J. Griswold, B.

Few sports outside the world of the run- ner require more individual effort or give the individual as much of a chance to excel. Although our record was one of losses, the number of participants in the track and field program has steadily increased. The loss of a meet is not as important as what was learned through competition against oneself. The inner joy of having done one's best is the greatest reward. You're not supposed to sit on it, Ed!

The Hoosiers, lacking the essen- tial big man , remained in contention by employing their patented fast break offense and their devastating man-to-man defense. Coach Dewey used his bench frequently giving experience to several key underclass- men. This experience should help to en- hance future Panther successes.

Basketball squad was undergoing an up and down season at the time of printing. Under the direction of Coach Wilson, the J.V. s had a below .500 record. With a fairly equal mixture of freshmen and sophmores and a year's experience, the up- coming J. V. 's should be well represented in future Varsity endeavors.

Their new ideas added with the old showed school spirit at its best. The Varsity cheerleaders, also under Mrs. Frazier, led their team to the top spot in the Wash- ington County League. Both squads enthusiasm was shown through the decorative hoops and posters that were displayed. The Hoosier cheerleaders perform an intricate cheer. C. Seifert, C. Stallmer, M. Irick. ROW 2: N.

They still man- aged to post an excellent 11-3 won- lost record. Their record included a first place finish in the Washington County League and several exciting vins against some much larger schools. With several returning vet- ems, the 1976-77 season looks equally promising.

The team finished in econd place in the Tri-County league, their only loss coming at the hands of rival Cambridge. The Panthers finished the reason with an overall record of 5-4, but their 5-1 league record was good enough to secure a sectional berth. Once in the sectionals, the girls defeated the 9th and 2nd ranked teams in the early rounds. In the semi-finals the Hoosiers scored a decisive 4-2 victory over Granville, avenging two previous los- ses this year. The Panthers lost to Cambridge in the finals, completing their year with an 8-5 record and the runner up in Section II. Although ten seniors will be graduating from this year's squad, Mrs. Barber is hopeful of another fine year in '76. Janet scoops the ball away from the rival team.

Enter- tainment every hour was provided by Mary Jean Eberle—Pantamine, Irving Luther—Magic, and Bob McGuire and Stewart Peckham—Comics. Townhouse provided dining and dancing music.
