Cleary, E. Filmer, G. Clark, P. Graef Miss Cav'-'reno' advisor CLASS HISTORY lt is now time for the Seniors of '52 to make an accounting of their life in LH. S., and to swim away into strange waters. We are the Star fish it is true, but we have worked hard for that privileged name. We are proud to say that we have given several members of our school a chance to hold the im- portant positions of class officers. This year we started off well when we elected Elwood Filmer as our chief O - fish - al, Elwood's able assistantwas that fleet - footed, piano playing Gary Clark. Margaret Cleary keptrecords of our long trip up stream, and Polly Graef saw to it that no fins were lost on the way. Some of the ablest muscles of our school include Milt Smith, lim Wilkinson, Whit Grant, Dick Bannigan, Sal Cipolla, and Dave Hoffman, Darting in and out, trying to keep our spirits up when the rapids got rough and we were headed for a fall, were our cheerleaders, Agnes Zayicek, Alice VanDerwerken. Dee Girard, Hilda Bunner, and Elizabeth Brunetto. Keeping track of all those in the swim was a time - consuming job, as Shirley Samek, Editor of Sir Bi11's Bugle, can tell you. So that in years to come we will not forget even the little minnows fsophomoresj, Ann Rosenthal, as Editor of our Baronet, recorded their progress, along with that of the juniors and seniors. We did alot of work in these last three years, but we have also taken time out along our watery way to play a bit. We'll always remember our stop at the south -sea island festival of Junior Prom, where we found our Queen, Elizabeth Brunetto, reigning over X festivities. After getting through the murky depths of regents, we could let our fins W down and really enjoy the annual Senior Ball, Having completed the last stretch of our journey through I .H.S. , we can only hope that our journey through life will be as su- ccessful.

The Baronet Staff, under the direction of Ann Rosenthal, Editor - in - Chief, and Paul Sovik, Busi- ness Manager, this year dove into the depths of Davey Jones' locker to uncover the log of school life and activldes at IHS -- the '52 Baronet. . With Miss Rita Daly guiding the way as advisor, the editors and their various staffs began plans for the book early in September and as the year progressed, spent harried hours angling for snapshots, check - ing fishy stories, and reeling in ads from local merchants. At editorial meetings the staff spent busy hours rushing to meet important deadlines. At last, as the year came to an end, they brought forth the BARONET, the product of their yearlong efforts.

THE SCORES Visitors The football squad, coached by Mr. Siedlecki, had a Draper 6 fairly successful year. After losing most of last year's varsity squad our team came through with four wins while suffering Little Falls 12 three defeats, In league play we won four out of five games gm and thus were in another tie with Saratoga and Bethlehem for another Saratoga 25 the championship. The squad credits most of its success to Mr. Siedlecki , Scotia 7 who showed them that winning spirit. The team's spark was pro- I vided by Pete Precopio, triple threat quarterback: Sal Cip - Mechanicviue 6 olla fleetfooted left halfbackp and our Captain, Milt Smith , who played an excellent line game. Credit should also be Gloversville 12 given to the rest of our linemen and backs, who did every - thing they could to help insure victory for IHS.

The sharpshooting of Cipolla, Longfritz, and Precopio, combined with the re - -ee 'W bounding of Wilkinson has pulled many an upset this season . Q ' The team, however, cou1dn't do this alone. The credit .Q for the leadership and training of the team goes to our coach, Mr. Zoellner, IHS Opp Canajoharie 61 62 St. Marys 52 43 Scotia 49 47 Little Falls 43 61 Mechanicville 45 A 63 Gloversville 51 61 Draper 68 52 Amsterdam 46 43 Saratoga 52 49 St. Marys 44 46 Scotia 41 50 little Falls 51 58 , 3' Q, lf ,L 5 it fill ' rf 1 1 t f, 1535-' MFE' M I' ,f t 0 1 Q vi sr S L f 3 , X' Front row left to right V Ragusa S Ralbovsky, E.

Mead, - V Basketball The jayvees, under the direction of a newcoach, Mr. Under- wood, were fast and aggressive. Besides this they had that fighting spirit which is so essential to a good team, Leading scorers for the team were Ed Walczak, Steve Ralbovsky, and Captain Bill Pollak. All the boys are excellent ball handlers and each has a few tricky shots. On this basis we will be looking forward to a good varsity team next year.

With Miss Powell as coach, the girls have originated several new yells. Both Varsity and Iayvees have come out with new uniforms and letters. As if thatwasn't enough, these ambitious girls have painted their mega- phones a bright gold color. Leading the Varsity are co - captains Alice Van Derwerken and Agnes Zayicek. Captain of the Iayvees is Jackie Karl. Other girls on the squad are Delores Girard, Elizabeth Brunetto, Hilda Bunner, Millie Polacek, Helen Wock, Jennie Brune- tto, Leona Conti and Lynn Walrath. 2' if , , 145, V rnii if X4 'K K fa fs hi, Vi ' Az ' f f hx li K 7 i ' ff ' --'A I r ve-,,f.
