Carin Craig and Alan Davis, academic award winners Academic awards won by Carin Craig, Alan Davis Carin Craig, who as a junior received the Elmira College Key award, stated that she must have done a pretty good job of buttering” up to the teachers. Seriously, though, she continued, it makes you feel pretty good to know that you were the only one in the junior class to receive the award. After graduating, Carin plans to enter a six year pro- gram at Cornell where she hopes to earn her PhD. The recipient of the William College Book Award, Alan Davis stated that the award showed him that everything is not hopeless. It made me feel that there must be some- thing good about me. Alan has been accepted at Clarkson College, where he plans to major in Industrial Management.

Friends, athletics among Mr. Corser’s recollections The chief difference between your generation and mine, in my opinion, is that we had a greater sense of responsibility, stated Mr. Corser as he sat at his desk. When we were young, we stayed in school only be- cause we so desired. Students could leave at age 14, and many did, Mr. Corser continued. Mr. Corser attended schools near Rochester and Syracuse, New York, which contained grades 1-12. If one was unable to cut the mustard, he got out. Perhaps it is true that there were fewer promising stu- dents, he said, but the fact remains that those students who did wish to succeed soon found out about hard work and diligence. Thinking back to his first day of senior high school, Mr. Corser recalls, There was one thing my dad told me: 'At any time, if you get a licking from a teacher, just remember that there will be one waiting at home that's twice as bad.' Today, some parents would wish to give the teacher a licking instead of their child. The things I do remember the most about high school, through, were the friends I made, and the ath- letics, dramatics and music programs in which I par- ticipated.

Believing this, though, he still recognizes and understands the human tendency not to appreciate the present. He believes the appreciation of living in the present can only come through age and maturity. I have always been satisfied with 99% of the stu- dents. Mr. McCready has much faith in the Iroquois student body. He hopes the students will come in and discuss with him, any problem that bothers them, instead of using the administration as a crutch. Mr. McCready feels that the students should be building a foundation now for their future. However, he hopes that once the foundation is built, it will be used to better their lives. 22 Academics James McCready, assistant principal
