Hudson Falls High School - Hermes Yearbook (Hudson Falls, NY)

Text from Pages 1 - 110 of the 1955 volume:

HERMES Since we feel that television has been a truly great influence on our generation, we chose Television as the theme of our book which tells the story of the other great influences on our lives — high school. Just as television affected elections, publicized governmental activities and entertained us with drama, music, and comedy, proving its lasting effect on society — school created a lasting impression on our lives through Student Council elections, club meetings, great literature in English classes and music in band, orchestra, and choir. HUDSON FAILS CENTRAL The Class of 1955 VVE REMEMBER Mrs. Charlotte Storev who returned to 1 ludson Falls as a guidance counselor when we were Jolly Juniors. We knew her as a history teacher, a helpful counselor and a Senior homeroom supervisor, as well as one of our host Iricnds. Thanks to her, our aims of higher education were realized, and jobs were secured. We hope that this volume will remind her of the Class of 1955 who will always remember her. Page 2 Page 4 As a class, we do not wish to be remembered for doing great things; we only hope that our efforts will be recalled as achievements. In the fall of 1951, we Seniors made our first stage debut in Act I of “You Are There.” As high school Freshmen, we entered the stage with trembling knees. Before! A, YOU ARE THERE How swiftly pass the years we most enjoy. So it has been as we review our past four years of ac- tivities, and “You Are There.” The happy days inside these walls have ended now; and we, proud and dignified Seniors, anxiously await the trials of the cold, cold world. Many Seniors have re- ceived much greater hon- ors than we; yet, for most of us, these years have been productive ones. After! SOME PROM VIEWS West Point has nothing on us! I V Our chosen royalty! The climax was in December when we presented our Freshman Frolic. On Moving Up Day, Paul Bartholomew gave the class response as a warning to high school teachers that soon we boisterous pupils would be invading the old brick walls. As the curtain rose on Act II, the setting was the Sophomore class. After the long awaited moment, we capture Janet and A1 in the spotlight. WS HISTORY New students, teachers, and unfamiliar surround- ings confronted us. Many of us remained secure within the walls of Junior High. With Shirley Rog- ers as Editor-in-Chief of our Junior Jottings, the paper became more than just a working staff. Re- porters long remembered the Christmas caroling party and the spring pic- nic. Star Scott Werner rep- resented the pea green Frosh in the Drama Night production of Why the Chimes Rang.” Page 5 c YV YOU ARE THERE A fine display of Soph f lop profits! - Act II No! That’s not the mom- bo! — Act II Joe and Tina make a sale! — Act IV The Stars Will Remember our Sophomore Hop, and so will we Seniors, who spent long hours tracing little silver stars and notes. As Act III appeared, the au- dience focused its attention on the long-awaited Junior Prom. Queen Janet Brownlee and he escort, Albert Putnam, captured the limelight as they led our royalty in the Grand March. Most of us were to be in Senior High for our first year. Our problems seemed grave ones, and graduation seemed the only solution. Even this might take us longer than the Board of Education had antici- pated. Early in this year our talented class- mates participated in the Open House pre- sentation of George Washington Slept Here.” The stars of Act II soon became apparent. President Katina Vamvalis be- came our leader. She made it known that gay young Sophomores could be industri- ous and proved it so at our Thanksgiving Dance. During this year many actors displayed their talents in the big show. Boys contributed to the success and the triumph of our sports activities. Music lovers participated in our student assem- blies. The Drama department was well supported by a leading cast of actors. The production of “Gooseberry Tarts” starred class- mates, Joyce Pingrey and Scott Werner. On Drama Night, we were hailed as leading participants in “Thank You Doctor.” Page 6 This directed the spotlight on Cal Wil- son, Nancy Garling, Paul Bartholomew, Shirley Rogers and Scott Werner. Actors did not soon forget the fun of being part of this delightful performance. At last we grand old Seniors took part in one fourth and final act of “You Are There.” Again our classmate Katina showed her leadership as our president. Calvin Wil- son proved to be another leader by repre- senting our school at Boys’ State. Together we had worked hard throughout our final act, and soon we would be reaping the rewards of our efforts. To our patient and friendly directors goes the satisfaction of hat ing pre- pared another cast of players to act upon the great world stage. To those classmates left be- hind to fill our places, we leave one small bit of knowledge — work hard, play hard, and keep alert for the knock of oppor- tunity. Place the Face!” — Is it the Werner boy? — Act I Which one needs the doctor? Paul, Cal, Rita, Scott, Nancv, or Shirl? — Act III Page 7 V ■ VjLUM OFFICERS Catherine N.

Class of ’56 Tune in Channel H.F.C.H.S. again next year for a star-studded cast composed of our outstanding athletes, talented musicians, and excellent students. This year on the Gillette Cavalcade of Sports, our Junior athletes were highlighted. Many were awarded varsity letters for outstanding achieve- ments. Our Quiz Kids did their share too, working their way towards the Top Ten for their senior year. Arthur Murray’s Dance Parties were extremely popular. Our first dance was to honor the football players at the end of the season. It was a huge success. The class officers and the Committee of Ten, together with the whole class, worked hard on the Junior Prom. Their efforts were well worth- while as the choreography was sensational. Every- one agreed that the A plus Hooper rating was more than deserved. The Voice of Firestone played grade six music this year. Junior students helped make the band, choir, and orchestra among the best in the area. Many Juniors received A rating at competition.

Chuck Caputo script writer, and Pat Ma- Ian director of finances. Our officers set their ideas into motion and produced a great show called the “Soph I lop.” Back- ground music was by Ray Nelson’s Band, playing Harvest Moon, our theme. “Mr. and Miss Har- vest Time were crowned while the “T. V. Set” watched. Sports casts were frequent this past year. Soph- omore boys made up a good share of the teams. We could also boast that we had a four-letter man, Tom Kirkpatrick. The “Greenies” from our class, neat and fresh looking in their uniforms, were cheer- leaders of whom we were proud. As far as mental abilities went, the Sophomores of 1954 were certainly up to par. Sonja Crevison, Jeanette Luciano, and Allen Bowen stood high on our list of “Quiz Kids”. Page 26 Music was one of H.F.C.H.S.’s best attributes. Think of all the Sophomores whom you have seen playing or singing in the band, orchestra, or choir. Carol Havens, our prized pianist, was chosen to play for the A cappella Choir. Marty Woodell, besides playing in the orchestra, made us very proud as she strutted down the football field leading our hand. Summing up our 1954 class of Sophomores, we had one of the greatest casts in school history. Director Kirkpatrick produced a successful show with the aid of Vice-President Marchio, Secretary Caputo, Treasurer Malan.

King, and his secre- taries, Mrs. Dorothy Valley and Mrs. Ruth Cornell, gained our respect and admiration through their supervision of our television station H.F.C.H.S. And now a word about our sponsors, the Hud- son Falls Board of Education ... Without them, the spectacular developments of 1954-55 would never have been achieved. As the bricks and mortar take the form of two new elementary schools and a new junior-senior high school, we, the class of 1955, even more fully appreciate the time, effort, and la- bor expended by the members of our school board. From the first mention of new schools, through the letting of contracts, to the final opening of the annex to Building Number Two, each board mem- ber has exploited every possibility to aid the present and future students of Hudson Falls. To our producer and sponsors alike, we extend our appreciation and the appreciation of all the senior classes thai will follow us. Our Superintendent, Mr. Dana M. King, dictates addi- tional plans for the new school to Mrs. Dorothy Valley. Front Row, left to right: Howard H. Griffin, Dana M. King, Superintendent of Schools. Sec- ond Row: Ezra R. Dickinson, J.

The performers were guided through their paces with a firm but jolly hand. Visits to the office, ad- vice on behavior, even a much needed pass helped all of us on our way. The sad and the happy, the gay and the solemn, daily paraded through his inner sanctum. Mrs. Rose cheerfully doled out spare keys, registration cards, and changed our quarters for the telephone booth. The office was a gathering place for teachers and pupils alike when trouble arose. There our noble director steered us towards the solution to our problems. His interest in everyone and in everything made his office a place that none of us feared, but rather, held in high regard. Mr. Homer P. Dearlove and Mrs. Thelma the script for 1955. Rose prepare With Mr. Bernard Labourr’s help, Art and Ed plan their first million. When we needed a study hall or wanted choir, Mrs. Storey and Mr. Labourr got us back in the camera’s range. Our star Seniors were all in a tizzy when applications, college boards and plans for post graduation drew near. The ambitious un- derstudies, aided by their understanding counselors, charted their courses towards their opening night, graduation. Together and apart, they guided our lives onward and upward while we struggled to follow. Pag© 31 Mrs. Margaret VVeatherbee and Sandy find this world’s top(s). Surprising that Mr. Ed- ward Kelly has to lo- cate Ireland for Mr. Pe- ter O'Blinn.” History is no longer an unending series of names, dates, and places, but a living experience, thanks to the ceaseless efforts of Mrs. Wcatherbee, Miss Sullivan, and Mr. Kelly, members of the social studies department. SOCIAL STUDIES Mrs. Norton has left us. She played an all important part in the creation of an excellent historical background for all the students. Her cordial greetings, her wonder- ful anecdotes, her optimistic views, and, above all, her intimate inter- est in each of us has helped to make our high school experiences valuable and pleasant ones. We shall always remember her. Juniors tune in on Miss Gail Sullivan instead of John Cameron S w a y z e for the latest news. LANGUAGES SPANISH Adios amigos, companeros de me vida. Good-bye friends, companions of my life. Under the direction of Miss Mayo, the Spanish class learned to prepare guacomale, which is a relish used on either crackers or meats. The Spanish background, customs, and pic- turesque language taught us to appreciate our southern neighbors and their mother country, Spain. FRENCH LATIN Non scholae, sed vitae, discimus. Not for school, but for life, we learn. The popular tune among Latin students was The Syncopated Clock to which the five declension endings were sung. Felix Natalis Tibi was sung in Latin I classes to members whose birthdays occurred during the school year. Miss Baker, like the Friendfy Fireman, showed film strips of wellknown fables and fairytales such as The Little Red Hen, and Little Red Riding Hood. Miss Helen Mayo and the French travelers hope for an April in Paris.” French I students eagerly learned their grammar in order to enjoy the French songs and movies Miss Mayo presented. Third year students were busy reading stories and pre- senting skits for the enjoyment of the whole class. France, its customs and ways of life, became vivid to all, through Miss Mayo’s first hand accounts. Miss Mayo’s Spanish class has ex- citing times with the “pesos” they earn selling stationery. Miss Mildred Baker instructs her Latin class with the spirit of a true Roman. Shakespeare’s Macbeth and Chau- cer’s Pilgrims met our Star Seniors at the door of English IV, arm and arm with Mr. Gross. Immediately, we all became newspaper critics. Eng- lish history of prose and poetry pa- raded before us in all its glory. Then, we went on to greater heights in English. The Juniors, our first understud- ies, gained practice through The Bar- retts of Wimpole Street and Life With Father. Through the efforts of their able captain, Miss Dolan, they met and conquered parliamentary procedure, book reports, poetry, es- says, a term paper, and library work. Mr. Harry Gross prepares the Seniors to Meet the Press.” Miss Mae Dolan narrates the Junior production, Life With Father.” Miss Gail Sullivan discov- ers a Roof. ENGLISH Page 34 The English I and 11 classes really perfected their grammar with the help of Miss Mayo, Miss Sullivan, Mr. Gross and Mr. Champlin. They viewed The Three Musketeers and Julius Caesar with mixed emotions. Library work was everybody’s problem. Mrs. Bloomer, our capable librarian, helped everyone in this field of English. Without her guidance this year, many of us would have been lost. Lights, Camera, Action! Our dramatic class di- rected by Mr. Champlin, presented I Remember Mama, The Late Christopher Bean, The Magnif- icent Yankee, and The Glass Menagerie for their classmates. They rehearsed pantomine and soon, with the help of Mr. Champlin’s coaching, they were ready for Pantomine Quiz. The study of the history of drama included everything from medi- eval drama to the Renaissance and early American drama. In Public Speaking, the students, with the help of their trusty tape recorder, learned to use words properly and to talk clearly through preparing and delivering speeches. Page 35 Mr. Edward Reynolds pulls a “Goble” in Biology class and “There you are!” So these are tomorrow's chemists — today’s General Science Qui . Kids.” Physics students and Mr. La- bourr in deep thought. Mr. Bernard Lahourr’s Chemis- try class offers competition to Mr. Wizard. SCIENCE Stop! Don’t change that channel. Here comes Mr. Wizard. In chemistry and physics classes, Mr. Labourr per- formed amazing feats with chemicals and machines, and proved to be an ex- cellent teacher. Next comes the Medic. Mr. Reynolds introduced us to science in our freshman year and carried on to biology. While taking this course, we decided to be medics ourselves. With the right equipment and know- how, we learned about energy, anatomy, and chemical reactions. Classes were exciting as we watched with great ex- pectations the opening of a frog, Brown- ian movements, and bottles of hydrogen. Miss Prescott’s health classes had a full year. Sociodramas, panel discussions, speakers, and mov- ies were enjoyed. With the help of Mr. Peepers, their dummy, they solved the problems of human anatomy. At a word from Miss “D’’, the girls’ gym classes went into action. Under her guidance, the girls learned to play and enjoy softball, tennis, badmin- ton, horseshoes, and croquet at Paris Park. Inside, correct, graceful dancing was emphasized. Al- though ballroom style proved to be fun, folk style led in popularity. Stunts, races, basketball, and volleyball also filled the spotlight. Miss Driscoll and Dr. Latimer, through vearlv physical examinations, proved the fitness of each student for such activities. Mr. I leidorf coached the male stars of TV sta- tion H.F.C.H.S. Under his direction, the boys skillfully played basketball and volleyball, raising the score, and attempting to keep the opposite team from doing it. The stars also excelled in baseball and football under his teaching. The understudies were trained by Mr. Luciano. One day they, too, will be stars. Miss Lucy Dwyer keeps her «iris on the hall. Coaches Tony Luciano and Elmer Heidorf plan victory strategy' for Hudson Falls High. Miss Lois Prescott in- troduces Mr. Peep- ers” to health students. HEALTH AND PHYS ED ART Miss Mary Hogan’s set designers drew scenery to brighten the background of this vear's spectacular. Thus the classes in de- sign and representation made great progress in self expression. Is that Rudolph in the background of Miss Mary Hogan’s Art class? Under the instruction of Miss Washburn, our homemakers had as a class project the sending of a box of clothes and jewelry to one of the girl's relatives in Italy. The girls enjoyed the performance of the child stars in their gaily-colored costumes on Masquerade Party. Mrs. Smith’s seniors prepared for home life after graduation by demonstrating ways of preparing foods, child care, and selection, care, and interior decoration of the home. These enable the girls to look forward to mar riage and a happy home life in the future. Miss Jane Washburn gives her Home Ec. class in- structions in Serving in Three Easy Lessons. Mrs. Arlesta Smith and the girls have some cute “props” to work with in their child care program. HOME EC Mr. Wayne LaPoint dis- plays the new Driver Training car. Our set designers at Industrial Arts did their part behind thf scenes. The boys and ‘girls’ in me- chanical drawing won’t forget the trips back and forth and the ex- cuses offered for being late. They ranged from feeding a starved dog to feeding an equally starved boy. Our stage hands, under the guidance of Mr. Fontaine and Mr. West, gained experience in making the different parts of ma- chinery, and in woodmaking. The machinists learned how to use drill presses, table saws, lathes, and forges. The carpenters became skillful in creating useful articles. This experience will help them all in later years. The poor Chevrolets really took a beating from our future chauf- feurs. “Hand brake on, key off” is a phrase they all knew well. They learned to stop lightly, to prevent anyone from damaging the windshield. Mr. John Fontaine guides the future mechanics. INDUSTRIAL ARTS Mr. Cecil West and the boys reminisce over Tool T)ays, Tool Days.” Page 39 Robert Connor's Songsters, like Fred Waring’s Pennsylvanians, diligently practiced their newly acquired music to obtain an ‘A’ rating in grade six music at competition. They also prepared songs for the annual spring concert and assemblies. The P.T.A., the Rotary and the junior-senior high school students thoroughly enjoyed the Christ- mas Program presented by the Songsters. Splendidly bedecked in their new, dark green robes, the choir fully appreciated Mr. Connor’s long struggle in obtaining them Front Kow, left to right: P. Marchio, K. Huot, S. Gerusky. Second Row: C.

Some of our most talented singers were chosen to attend the two All-State perform- ances held this year at Rochester and Saratoga. Late in the spring, songsters at- tended All-County where they practiced with choir members from other schools in preparation for the All-County concert. Talented band members were also chos- en to attend the two All-State programs. Last year at competition our band, com- peting in grade six music, obtained straight A’s in each marking division. Ours was the only band to achieve this recognition. Members of the band, hoping to equal this record, practiced with fervor. Intricate formations were practiced by the marching band as they rehearsed their music for the football games.

In the spring everyone was looking forward with) great anticipation to the annual concert, presented hy our high school and cadet band, conducted by Mr. Walter Ninesling. The annual assembly pre- sented by our band proved enjoyable to both stul dents and faculty. Another H.F.C.H.S. assembly enjoyed by all wasII the one that was given by the orchestra under the direction of their capable leader, Mr. Nicholas! Morano. At competition last year the orchestra competed in grade five music and repeated their excellent performance this year. A few members also attended the two All-States where they played under a well- known director. Others attended All-County and put on a concert with orchestra members from other schools. The orchestra also played at commence- ment. In the spring, the H.F.C.H.S. Orchestra, like the Voice of Firestone Orchestra, strove to entertain • our local TV fans at its annual concert where many varied selections were skillfully presented. Through the year, the orchestra has given our high school their very best efforts of which we can be proud. Front Row, left to right: J. Armstrong, M. Woodell, C. Purdy, S. Blossom, 1. Allen, I).

ORCHESTRA Page 42 A new addition to our sensational music depart- ment was the girls’ trio. They happily participated in many of the school’s musical activities. Who could forget the gay antics and delightful- singing of the boys’ quartet? They diligently prac- tised their arrangements in order that they might entertain us to the best of their ability. Just one example of the many accomplishments of our musi- cians — the Christmas assembly. The youngest member of H.F.C.H.S.’s musical family this year was the girls’ choir. The ninety or so girls have, through their efforts and abilities, given our school a new organization of which we can be proud. They participated in the Christmas Program and the Spring Concert. 1 lave you ever seen our majorettes in action? Their striking routines, charming appearance and fascinating twirling thrilled and entertained the spectators at the football games. They also led our marching band in the Memorial Day Parade. The music department has contributed much to the life of our school. The school has received many honors through their abilities. We appreciate the many hours that all the participating members spend to bring us entertainment and enjoyment. Drum majorette Martha Wood- ell and majorettes Mary Ann Yattaw, Katherine, Huot, Mary Lou Dunn. Sharon Sharpe, and Sharon Infield add more beauty to our band.

In Mrs. Louise Chartier’s bookkeeping class, there is a motto, What we don't learn today we’ll learn tomorrow.” Mr. Thomas Yole and Trig students get things squared away. The click-clack of the typewriters as Mr. Reed called out the lines told the progress of our future typists. Business management and salesmanship trained our staff for greater heights. The Teti’s’ labored on everything from adding machines to the Multigraph. Their crooked lines in shorthand looked like Greek to us. To the inhabitants of Room 20, assets, liabilities, expenses, and capital of all busi- nesses assumed great importance. Flash! The stars of Bookkeeping II gave their bus- iness-agent, Mrs. Chartier, a surprise birth- day party. Elementarv algebra was a snap unless you were still taking it, but Miss Prescott skillfully sent her students forward. Few thought they’d ever pass plane geometry and intermediate, but with Mr. Yole’s help, they prepared for higher levels. The star seniors raged when trig and solid home- work seemed endless, but now it’s over and wasn’t so bad. COMMERCE - MATH Page 44 STUDENT COUNCIL Front Row, left to right: S. Gerusky, S.

Competing with the Quiz Kids at station H.F.C. H.S.-TV were the members of Scholarship Club. This club was made up entirely of seniors since their aim was to prepare themselves for the college of their choice. Guided by their able advisers, Mr. Gross and Mr. Kelly, the members were absorbing knowledge that was bound to be of use in either their scholarship exams, college boards, or selective admissions exams. With their sharpened pencils and sharpened wits, the members entered the exam” room for their battle against Quiz Kids of other schools in Wash- ington County. Some proved their ability by win ning scholarships, while others stored their knowl- edge for future reference.

There are always good programs there, and their announc- ers are the best to be found anywhere. With Mr. Dearlove to calm us, we struggled through the daily announcements, learning just what it meant to be heard by everyone. As the year went by, we became old ‘pros” at announcing, and some even picked up a style of their own for future use. Page 47 One of the many talents in Hudson Falls Cen- tral High was that of our writers of “Green Echo.' This industrious group kept us up to date on all school functions and news. This year, on April 24, “Green Echo” celebrated its ninth birthday. Under the skillful direction of Mr. Harry Gross our paper has progressed rapidly. This year it was edited by Joyce Malan, who with her staff of writers, did a fine job of seeing that “Green Echo standards were maintained. We didn’t even mind when Mr. Gross gave us English assignments of writing articles for Green Echo”. We were proud to see our work on its pages. The subscription drive, with its promise of a $5.00 prize for the one who guessed the number of subscribers, boosted “Green Echo” circulation.

GREEN ECHO Under the capable direction of Barbara Dickinson, the staff staged the production “HERMES OF 1955.” All crews were kept busy right up till curtain time to make this the best book ever. We often turned to our advisers Miss Prescott, Miss Sullivan and Mr. Reed for ideas and answers to our many problems. At last, after many last papers, late nights and much bustling, our “I IERMES was sent to the publishers. We breathed a little easier then, but we all knew it had been well worth the effort we had put into it.

You can’t make a mistake with all those helpers, can you, Shirl! HERMES Wait just a minute; this looks like a social meeting. Let’s not change the channel; it might prove to be very interesting. I bet it’s the Boys’ Hi Y of Hudson Falls. They’re always thinking of good ideas to promote interest in the club, such as “allowing” the faculty to trounce them in a bas- ketball game for the benefit of the Polio Fund.

With the help of their adviser, Mr. Wayne La- Point, not only did the boys more than triple the amount of money in their treasury, but also they promoted school and community projects by sup- porting them in any way possible. Their assistance proved invaluable to everyone involved. Page 50 The cast of Girls’ I li-Y 1955 presentation lived up to its purpose of maintaining, creating, and ex- tending high standards of Christian living. This task proved easier—thanks to the excellent example presented by Miss Lucy Dwyer, adviser.

TV was fortunate in having just that in its Photography Club, directed by Mr. Edward Reynolds. Not only taking, but also developing and enlarging pictures kept all members busily engaged.

It’s only the Science Club at work under the practiced direction of Mr. Bernard Labourr. Interesting ex- periments which cannot be performed during class- room sessions are attempted during meetings. The goal of the club is to extend scientific knowledge and to promote understanding and appreciation of both physics and chemistry. Members became in- quisitive scientists and attempted to solve some of the many unsolved mysteries in the scientific world. We felt as if we were Einsteins after we had joined Math Club. Mr. Thomas Yole taught us how to manage that complicated-looking instru- ment, the slide rule, which proved to be very sim- ple and handy to use and made the most difficult problems turn out to be a cinch.” Even the puz- zle of finding one counterfeit coin among a dozen coins in three weighings was solved by the math- ematically-minded students in their extra-curricular activities.

FRENCH AND SPANISH CLUBS LATIN ONE CLUB Latin students in the first year course found that Latin 1 Club stimulated interest in the subject. Programs included games, such as Place the Face, Twenty Questions, Two for the Money, and What's My Line? — all adapted to Latin. Adeste Fideles, Dies Christi Albus (White Christmas) and Silens Nox were a few carols sung at Christmas time. The members made and exchanged Christ- mas cards with Latin greetings. Several books suitable tor supplementary reading were purchased and presented to the library. LATIN TWO CLUB These Latin II and III students made Latin II Club a success this year. With their adviser, Miss Mildred Baker, many happy hours were spent out- side, e. g., once members answered roll call by nam- ing a god or goddess. A filmstrip, Imperial Rome — Its Life and Grandeur, was enlightening. A LATIN 2 Front Row, left to right: G. Bailey, J. Hal- lock (Secretary). Second Row: J. Malan (President), S. Cre- vison, S.

With gay costumes, fine settings, and an air of festivity, our first Open House” show, The Neighbors went over like a smash Broadway hit. H.F.C.H.S. had triumphed again. The cast of our hit show, Harrison Winnie, Leah Gibson, Agnes Maraviglio, Sally Cronkhite, ]ovce Pingrey, Peter Byrnes, and Susan Blossom gave outstanding per- formances. Our backstage crew added to the gala success by painting scenery, applying make-up, and I creating sound effects. The Neighbors certainly aged Pete, Sally, Joyce, Lea, and Sue.

Besides mastering the fundamentals, we delved into the magic of lighting, costuming, make-up, and character portrayal. To further the scope of drama, a course emphasizing diction, pan- tomime, and the history of drama was offered in school. Our shows went on continually until the curtain finally closed on a most successful ’54-’55 drama season. Actor and Actresses Shirley Bruso, Pet- er Byrnes, and Sally Cronkhite rehearse lines for opening night. FORUM As we changed channels on our set, we saw what appeared to be a heated debate. Sure enough it was. Our Student Forum was engaged in one of its many discussions con- cerning the right of free speech. Un- der the supervision of Mr. Edward Kelly, H.F.C.H.S. showed the other schools in the I.R.C. that we could really talk and prove our point. FORUM Front Row, left to right: J. Graziano, K.

Some members, who will later follow careers of art, learned their lessons well.

Let's Pag© 68 FOOTBALL An inexperienced Hudson Falls eleven opened its sea- son against rugged Ballston Spa. Following a scoreless first half, the Green Wave, led by Jack Naylor’s shifty running, tallied two touchdowns and won 12-0. The lo- cal gridders then scored a 26-0 win against a big Mechan- icville club that found it impossible to stop the speedy 1 ludson Falls backs. Moving into Conference action against dangerous Granville, the Heidorf-coached club, showing better blocking, rallied to nip the Golden Horde with a last quarter tally 19-14. Joe Murphy’s passing, Naylor’s end runs and Bailey’s plunges, plus better block- ing hv the forward wall, spelled the difference. Another opponent bites the dust as Stanczyk plows through. Any ideas entertained by the Green Wave of an unde- feated season were ended by Saint Mary’s in the next con- test. Following Bailey’s plunge through the center of the line for a 7-0 first half lead, the underdog Saints refused to quit and began to run the ends. The quarterback option play, behind beautiful downfield blocking, gave the blue- clad Saints two touchdowns and a well-earned 13-7 win. The loss of Tom Kirkpatrick, due to an arm injury, may have created the difference. The powerful, well-coached Glens Falls Indians gave the Green Wave a lesson in blocking the following Saturday. In excellent condition and alert for every misplay by Hud- son Falls, the Indians scored at will in the first half and let the reserves gain experience throughout the remainder of the contest while scoring a 40-13 win. A sub-par White- hall eleven had enough ability and fight to easily subdue the inept Green Wave in the following game. The Rail- roaders 26-0 win sent the local eleven spinning towards the league cellar. Paul makes another nine ty-yard run. Johnny Beales undefeated Fort Edward eleven nailed down the coffin in the last contest. Scoring by air and on the ground, the Northern Conference champs trounced Hudson Falls 46-12. However, in this loss, despite the score, the Green Wave gave an indication of possible things to come. A few regulars and especially the second eleven never quit fighting. Ed Eagles signal calling, Turners line backing, and the running of the second string backs brought cheers from the crowd. If the spirit shown in this contest continues next year, look for a return to glory by the Green Wave. Where’s the ball? Oh, well, let’s get him anyway. OUR FIRST STRING Front Row, left to right: W.

BASKETBALL “H.F.C.H.S. - TV Basketball” has brought its Hudson Falls fans many a thrill-packed evening. This year’s edition of the Green Wave has shown the same hustle and team spirit as in previous years. Hopes were high as Warrenshurg was defeated in two consecutive battles. After losing its encounter with Whitehall, our squad went on to defeat the Maroons in their second clash. Successes were also registered against Saint Peter’s Academy and Saint Mary’s Acad- emy in our first meetings, although the earlier defeat was avenged by the Saints in their second conference tilt on Saint Mary’s home court. Guard that man! That basket could mean the game. The Hudson Falls team, with high spirits, reserved vim and vigor for its traditional rival, Glens Falls. Never- theless, the Green Wave, unable to muster enough strength to trip the Red and Black, dropped both de- cisions in heartbreakers. Some of the energy formerly saved to crush Glens Falls was stored and used in the next game in which Granville was put straight through the “hoop.” Front Row, left to right: B. O’Donnell, L.

Page 72 Although Hudson Falls has bowed to a few of its opponents, Coach Luciano has high hopes for next season as many trained men are returning. A championship usually comes from the following formula — veteran players -f- will to win -(- sound coaching = championship. We will have all three in the 1955-56 campaign.

Page 73 TRACK TRACK 1954 The camera moved in on the oval at Derby Park to focus upon the Hudson Falls High School track and field squad. The Green Waves entered 1954 season with few veteran performers and many new aspirants. Dual meet victories were won from the White- hall and Granville forces, and losses were incurred at the hands of Saratoga and Fort Edward. Participating in the larger meets, Hudson Falls placed second in the County Meet (in which 7 schools competed), fourth in the Saratoga Invita- tional (where 11 schools competed), and fourth in the State Sectionals at Johnstown (where the field of competition numbered 11). The image on the screen faded away as the an- nouncer urged us to tune in on next year’s show for an even better production. Wha’ hoppened, Don! Get hit in the eye- Front Row, left to right T.

The spotlight is now focused on the extremely efficient tennis team with racket in hand and con- cern for victory. “The Racket Squad” brought honor and satisfaction, not only to themselves, but also to the school that it represented. Pride was a feature which our tennis team honestly deserved. Another prominent star of our Caval- cade of Sports was baseball. For the team, the joy of slugging a three-bag- ger,” reaching over the fence and catch- ing a “would-be homer,” or pitching three “strike-outs” in a row accompanied the thrills of winning and the sorrows of losing. Glens Falls defeated the Green Wave twice. Hudson Falls caused Fort Edward’s only loss of the season and outdid St. Mary’s once and Granville twice. TENNIS AND BASEBALL Camera one focused on a graceful group of pretty performers and on your screen appeared our basketball femmes. The senior girls played the junior girls, and it was an excellent game. Coached by Miss Lucy Dwyer, our girls scored many victories as they learned the rules of various sports. In after-school activities, as well as in gym classes, we became well-known and respected by our opponents. Our senior girls always played well. Their record this year was as favorable as it was in the past. Our baseball team was noted for hit- ting in the home runs for H.F.C.H.S. This year’s tennis team was comparatively inexper- ienced. However, its record was excellent, un- der the circumstances. According to our coach Miss “D , it should be even better next year. Come on. Flan; let's be fair about it; that's “our mighty Casey at the bat. Sissy, what are you doing over there? Gee, that volley ball is big, but we had fun anyway. Chain on home and swing your own.
