Our high school stands upon the mound, We gaze at all thy charms, God bless our Alma Mater in the Adirondack arms. As forward through the years we march. Cur footsteps toward success. We dream of Lake George High School, And the friends that we possess. The love and honor in our hearts Shall last forever more. The things that we accomplished, Shall reflect upon the door. THEME Where wc walk to school each day, Indian children used to play— All about our native land, Where the shops and houses stand. And the trees were very tall, And there were no streets at all, Not a church and not a steeple— Only woods and Indian people. Only wigwams on the ground, And at night bears prowling ’round— What a different place today Where wc live and work and play! • Indian Children by Annette Wynne Mrs. H. Bowen. Mr. C. DeGrush, Mrs. R. Caldwell DEDICATION In the Indian villages, the older war- riors, who had proved themselves to be brave in time of battle and wise in tribal life, were set above the other Indians. They were honored and obeyed with great reverence and because of their superior wisdom and experience, their advice was asked on all important mat- ters. To Mrs. Bowen, Mrs. Caldwell, and Mr. DeGrush. whose combined teaching careers total seventy years and whose con- tributions have been an inspiration to the students and faculty of Lake George Union School, we sincerely dedicate this 1950 Georgian as a token of our esteem.

It was the duty of these brave, young Indians to hunt for the village’s food, protect the women, children, and older men from enemy attacks, and take a large part in leading the tribe. It was the aim of all young braves to become warriors.

Our class was determined to do big things that year and throughout our entire high school career. Mr. Milofsky, our advisor, and the newly elected class officers quickly got things under way. Aside from minor class projects such as assembly programs, we scheduled a May Dance. A King and Queen were crowned at this gala affair. Although we weren’t Ziegfelds, everyone had fun, our treasury was bolstered, and the idea of a May Dance became a yearly tradition. Happy was the day in September when we re-entered school as sagacious Sophomores. How did we ever get through the door? It seemed odd sitting there without Alan Pluc, Barry Converse, and Ed Parrott with their laughs and jokes. Fortunately, to our dwindling ranks were added the “East Side kids — Bill Webster, Gene W'ood, and Mary Schoon- over — in addition to Lee Hardesty from White Plains and Mary Curtin from St. Mary’s in Glens Falls. Full of new ideas gained through the summer, new jokes, and new students, we set out to conquer all and perhaps to even be victorious in our school marks. Mr. Milofsky, better known as “Mr. M.,’’ started pulling “the” hairs when we planned our first notable Movie Dance. It was worth the effort, though, for we made some money and everyone survived. We were advancing rapidly: whether to glory, infamy, or detention classes will never be known. With two years of experience in high school life behind us, wc again assembled, this time one flight higher, as Juniors. Happy was this day—! Our doors were opened to Marilyn Beach from Sydney and Ramsay Forster and Jerry Sebald from “over Luzerne way. The law' of averages held out though, for during the year we bid our fond farewells to David Lance, Karl Aronson, and June Hall. Wc all settled down for a big year. To give our depleted treasury a shot in the arm, we had numer- ous and fattening bake sales. The '49 Georgian, which was our big project, kept us all busy. Were we relieved when we rushed it off to the printing office just in time to make the deadline. To the surprise of our advisor, Mrs. “B, a few Junior names even appeared on the honor roll. When Commencement rolled around, we realized that wc would shortly be LGHS Seniors. It was nice to be getting this added prestige, but the school year started and ended too fast. In our last year as students, the PCs, George Kurosaka and Don Hardesty, aided us tremendously. Through the much too short days of fall, December 14 and 15 ominously approached. These dates will long be remembered as the nights of our dramatic masterpiece, “Our Hearts Were Young and Gay.” And how gay we all were when it was over! The final sighs of Mrs. B. and Miss Dickerson w’crc comparable to the “shot heard round the world. After Christmas vacation and mid-year Regents, all thoughts were turned to penny-pinching for the Senior trip. When we returned to Lake George as traveled celebrities we impressed the lower classmen with our worldly experience, but still found that our feet were tired. Although our class never gained fame, neither did we gain notoriety. —6— Senior Class Officers Marilyn Beach, Secretary and Treasurer; Jerry Sebald, President; Judy Young Badman, Vice-President SENIOR PROPHECY It has been 10 years since the class of '50 has left the halls of Lake George High School. In this year I960, Patricia Johnson, noted author and his- torian, has returned to the land of woods and wild bears to trace the ancient tribe of 1950 to its present habitat. As she steps down from her jet-propelled run- about, Pat notices that Lake George has changed quite a bit in 10 years. Her first visit is to the high school itself, which is now located on the one-time athletic field. (Room for expansion, you know). On entering the school she notices that there has been a new decorating job, in chartreuse and pale yellow, done by the school’s new Home Making teacher, Libby LaPlanche. Quite an improvement! Entering the office, Pat notices that the secretary, who is pecking away on the typewriter, is her old friend, Marilyn Beach. Miss Beach takes Pat in to meet the new principal, Ramsay Forster. Principal Forster is perfecting a new theory in education, to let the students teach the teachers. On leaving the office, Pat is almost knocked over by a harasscd-looking young woman sprinting down the hall. As the lanky, intellectual teacher whizzes past, Pat recognizes Marge Haskell who is running after one of her Kinder- garten students. Stopping in at the coach’s office, she sees none other than Bill Winslow sitting at Coach Dawes’ desk and reading the sports section of the local paper. Bill tells Pat that he now has the basketball team in first place, for the sixth straight time, and that the ’60 Georgians beat War- rensburg with a score of 89-23. Dazed with this news, Pat wanders down Canada Street and meets Don Hardesty, the world-famous cartoonist, who is now handling the art work for Adirondack Resorts Press. On the next street corner, Pat catches a glimpse of a familiar figure. It is Marilyn Ramsey, famed career girl, who is waiting for the Ithaca bus. Marilyn has been engaged eighteen times, but each time has decided that her career should come before a man. Passing the corner of Nick’s Diner, Pat sees a sudden, blinding flash of light. Entering the diner, Pat orders a plate of French fries and finds that Bill Webster, head pin- ball electrician, has just caused a short. Bill is making money head over heels to support his boss's daughter. Next to Verra’s Soda Fountain, Pat finds two new stores—Charlie and Mary’s Dress Shop and a branch store of Lee’s Haberdashery of Fifth Ave- nue. Lee Hardesty, proprietor of the shop, has also been dabbling in opera. On the east side of Canada Street is one of the biggest changes Pat has seen in the village. There is the new location of Mountain- side, which has been moved to Lake George because of the great square-dance enthusiasm. On the bill- board, Pat sees that the orchestra playing is the Adirondack Pipers’ Band, conducted by Robert Waite, who married Mccleta Dunning almost 10 years ago. Mountainside looks much more prosperous now, probably because Mary Schoonover is the new manager. Crossing the street, Pat almost bumps into Jerry Sebald, who is a traveling salesman for Single, the Hair Tonic for Woman Haters.” Overhead, she hears the drone of airplane motors. Looking south she sees Lake George’s new Airport. Taking a short trip in that direction, Pat meets Frances LaFond who is now the head airline hostess. As she walks a little farther, Pat notices a mammoth neon sign which advertises Beverly Cabins.’’ For rent by the night, day, week, month, season, year, or decade. Running water and atomic heat. Beverly (Beautiful) Burton, Proprietor.” Going a little farther, she meets Wini- fred Beswick who is visiting some of her old Lake George classmates. Winnie is now the wife of a famous New York lawyer and lives on a large estate in Pearl River. After talking for a while, Pat learns that Monty Seaman owns a string of race horses at Saratoga, including Miss Luzerne, who won last year’s Kentucky Derby. She also learns that the new and bigger Rialto Theatre in Glens Falls is under the management of Bill Flanders, who is now- substituting for one of the Ink Spots. With her assignment almost over, Pat leaves Lake George by the new Bolton Super-Highway. She finds that this masterpiece of engineering was de- signed by A1 Kouba, who always did want to get rid of the curves between Lake George and Bolton. Passing through the town of Bolton, Pat finds the last of the Class of ’50, Anne Exford, who is running a second hand store for slightly used engagement rings. As she speeds back to the big Metropolis, Pat collects her notes and wonders if any other class will reach the heights which the Class of ’50 has. isnioxi Marilyn Beach Newspaper 1 Yearbook 2, 3 Girl's Glee Club 1, 2 Chorus 1, 2 Girls' Basketball 1, 2, 4 Baby Sitters’ Bureau 1 Secretary GAC 4 Class Secretary-Trcas. 4 Senior Play 4 Winnie Beswick Hockey 1 JV Chcerleading 1 Varsity Cheerleading 2 Basketball 1, 2, 4 Band 1, 2, 3, 4 Student Council 1,2, 3, 4 Newspaper 2 Yearbook 3 Senior Play 4 GAC 4 Biology Club 2 Beverly Burton Varsity Cheerleading 1, 2, 3, 4 Basketball 1, 2, 3, 4 Hockey 1 Soccer 1, 2 Newspaper 2 Yearbook 3 GAC 4 Athletic Council 1, 2, 3 Student Council 1 Senior Play 4 Baton Twirling 3, 4 Projector Club 2 Glee Club 2 Class President 1 Library Club 1 President 2 Mary Curtin Yearbook 3 Senior Play 4 Mecleta Dunning Glee Club 1, 2 Secretary-Treas.

They learned how to track animals, use a bow and arrow, know all the legends hand- cd down in the tribe, and to be brave and courageous. When the young brave was experienced in all these things, he was accepted among the warriors and went out on the village's hunting trips. junto % iznioz —17— CLASS OF 11 First Row: Marilyn Syron Parker, Shirley Hammond, John De Marco, Robert Adsit, Miss Holz, Lorlaine Clemens, Marian Ruef, Celia Norton.

The Junior Class came hack to school last fall to find that it had a new homeroom teacher, Miss Holz, and a new responsibility, publishing the '50 Georgian. Under Miss Holz's helping hand, work on the yearbcxik started to roll in September and has been grinding away ever since. When the first class meeting was called to order, it became apparent that the boys, who had been in the minority ever since Frosh days, were beginning to gain on the girls. For the first time in class history, a male, Bob Adsit, was elected President over the female dynasty. John DeMarco was elected Vice-President, Lorlaine Clemens be- came Secretary - Treasurer, and Marian Ruef, Student Council Representative. The big Junior event of the year was their assembly, given in February, to an appreciative audience. We re sure that no one will ever forget Zack Zazzle, the Flora Dora Girls, the Television Melodrama or the Zinc Spots. Between working on the yearbook and spon- soring bake sales, the Juniors have found time to win the girls' championship in inter-class basket- ball; participate in sports, music, cheerleading, and clubs: cause several Chemistry explosions; write fifteen loyal Junior songs; and win (or steal) the PTA attendance banner. The Juniors are continuing to hold the title of the most illustrious class in school. — 18— SOPHOMORE CLASS First Row: Joan LaFond, Albert Clauss, Harry Young, Charlotte Palmer, Mr. Van dc Vissc, Frank Wood, Edward O’Dell, Margaret Surprenant.

Third Row: Bruce Monroe, Arthur Klussendorf, Arthur Poutre. The Sophomore Class started out the '49'50 school year under the capable direction of their officers: President, Charlotte Palmer; VicePresi dent, Bud Young; Secretary Treasurer, Frank Wood; and Student Council Representative, Ed O'Dell. Three popular Sophomores were lost when John Shibley and Arthur Klussendorf moved to Florida, and Ralph Clemens left school. The first Soph project was a hay ride spoiv sored in October. Even though students were packed in three deep, everyone had a good time shouting and singing with the two cowboys who rode along to provide the music. Most of the participants had hay in their noses, ears, and mouths for a week. Under Mr. Van de Visse's direction, the Sophomores presented a play, entitled Boner's Schoolroom, for their assembly. The action cen tered around a typical day at school, complete with alert students (especially Ed O'Dell), nerve wracking teachers, and typical Lake George jokes. The Sophomore Class is well represented in sports, music, cheerleading, and the newspaper club. The Sophs are looking forward to a Junior year as full of fun as this year has been. FRESHMAN CLASS First Row: Judy Webster, Margaret Doody, Shirley Collins, Carol Seaman, Lauralee Hill, Mr. McCann, Class Advisor; Joan Wood, Bonnie Lee Durkee, Anne Holcomb, Sandra Grant, Joan Koch.

When the Freshman class trudged into Room 27 on September 12, 1949, they beheld their new advisor, “Prof. McCann, who has become famous for his bow-ties. At their first class meeting, Lauralee Hill took the President's chair; Joan Wood was elected Vice-President; and Carol Seaman, Secre- tary-Treasurer. Bonnie Lee Durkee took over the responsibilities of Student Council Representa- tive. The first big Frosh project was the splendid showing they made in the Hallowe'en window- painting contest. They also produced an up-to- date float (so called) which was in constant danger of collapsing during the parade. The month of February brought a special day for the Freshmen. On the 24th of this month, all Frosh blossomed out in maroon and grey to celebrate Freshman Day. They sponsored a hilarious assembly, the highlights of which were a radio drama, a ventriloquist act, and a German Band under the direction of Ed Leicht. The biggest Freshman undertaking was the annual May Dance. Everyone enjoyed the May Pole Dance, the Procession, and the excellent music. Throughout the year, the Freshman Class has been one of the most active classes in activi- ties. Both boys and girls have taken part in basketball, athletic clubs, and the newspaper club. The girls have taken part in cheerleading, glee club, and Triple Trio. If the Freshman Class of '50 continues to show the spirit which they have this year, we believe that their names will go down in history. —20— L oivzz cjxadsi. at The Indian children had plenty of playmates, because a number of their relatives lived together in the same long house. The small children played games, helped with such work as bringing sticks for the fire, and learned to be silent and respectful before older people. By the age of about eight, the boys began to follow the men at their work and the girls stayed at home with the women. —21— GRADE VIII First Row: Norma Holcomb, Anna M.

SUMMARY OF GRADES The Indian children were taught by the older braves to track animals, use the bow and arrow, find their way when they were lost in the woods, and be honest and brave little Indians. Wise braves made learning fun and the children spent many happy hours perfecting their prowess as hunters so that they could become leaders when they grew up. The Indian child found learning exciting and interesting. So it is in our schools today. Wise teachers guide the pupils over the paths of learning. Reading, Writing, and Arithmetic have replaced the Indian crafts, but the principle remains the same. The companionship of the classroom and the gentle guidance of the teacher are ideal condi- tions for the development of a child. The chil- dren gain a sense of responsibility and a well- rounded personality from their associations in grade school. Many thanks should be given to the teachers who play so great a part in the character molding of today’s children. —26— a clniinLitxatLon Every organization must have its leaders, and it was the same way with the Indian tribes. Each village had a chief, or head man, and a council, which made the laws and supervised the work of the tribe. —27— PRINCIPAL The leader of the Indian tribe was called the chief. Upon this chief and his helpers rested the responsi- bility of protecting the tribe from harm, providing for its needs, and deciding cases of justice. But the chief was not a king who could order his wishes to be carried out. He was more like a father and a teacher who advised the people and tried to make things run smoothly. Mr. Donald S.

Ernest Stires; Grant Kirkcr; Robert Leavitt. Board of Education The real power of the Indian tribe rested on the council which usually included all the grown men of the village. They never took action unless they were all agreed. If some were opposed they did not take a vote, but simply dropped the matter. The chief never acted without the advice of the council, which knew the will and desire of the people. School Doctor and Nurse One of the most important and interesting men in the Indian village was the medicine man. It was the duty of this man to make the sick well through magic charms and dances. The Indians believed that little stones or living creatures get' ting inside the body might cause sickness. The medicine man, after singing and praying, would drive out the evil spirits by shaking rattles or by wearing grotesque, painted masks. The Indians believed that an unconscious patient's soul had floated away, and that only the medicine man could call it back. JANITORIAL STAFF Paul Monroe, ‘“Ken McCoy, “Webb” Stanton, “Blackie” Black. JANITORS AND cafeteria The Indian men and women each had their own work and did not interfere with each other's tasks. The chief concern of the women was to prepare the food, which had been brought back by the hunting parties and divided among the different families, for the members of their own longhouses. The food, including corn, beans, squash and meat, was cooked in several large pots as soup or dried for use during the winter. In their spare time, the men and young boys kept the village in good repair and safe from enemy attacks. The longhouses were recovered with bark and the holes in the stockade were filled with new logs. CAFETERIA ASSISTANTS Mrs. Clark Winslow, Mrs. Herbert Griffin, Miss Lily Labshirc, Mrs. Harry Gauthier. —30— acticititE-i. In their crafts, the Indians used all the materials that were at hand. The women used deerskin for the leggings and moccasins which comprised most Indian clothing. Their belongings were made from forest products. The household implements, including dishes and ladles, were made from birch or elm bark and sewed together with grass. The women made baskets for storing corn from strips of wood or cane, while the men made graceful birch or elm bark canoes for travel along the streams. —31— Walking the Plank!

The Student Council, leading student organ- ization of the school, started its '49-'50 year with the following officers: President, Marge Haskell; Vice-President, Barbara Ramsay: Secretary, Joan LaFond; and Treasurer, Eleni Starche. Throughout the year, the Student Council has promoted many projects for the good of both the school and the students. Its first project was a contest to select the best student-drawn plans for a new trophy case. After the plans submitted by the Juniors were selected, the problem of building the case was turned over to Mr. Milofsky and his shop students. The next Student Council problem was to devise a merit system for judging the classes on enthusiasm and co-operation in activities and scholarship. To promote higher scholarship among the students, the Council has planned to award the members of the Honor Roll with privilege passes and silver pins. To provide entertainment for the school, the Student Council has sponsored two interesting assemblies: a Swiss Baron, who lectured on his travels on land and sea, and Victor Covack, who described his experiences on Mount Rainier. The most amusing Council-sponsored activity, was the Students' Day held in the spring. At this time, the students took over all teachers' positions and reigned over the school for a day. This year has been merely a beginning in the plans which the Student Council has made to help guide the students of Lake George High.

The Projector Club is one of the most useful activities in the school. Its members are always on hand to provide evening movies, cartoons for the younger students, or merely educational films to break the monotony of classes. SUMMARY OF ACTIVITIES The lives of the Indian children were filled with various activities. They chipped arrow heads, cared for their pets, and experimented in basket weaving and leather working. They worked together as welbcoordinated groups, because they were interested in their projects. The com panionship and pride in achievement that they gained through their activities were the rewards of their work. A word of praise from the older tribesmen spurred them on to greater ventures. The activities were instructive as well as enjoy able and they helped to prepare the children for their places in life. The activities and clubs of our school help high school students to become better school citizens as well as better Americans. Working as a group develops a sense of cooperation and sharing that will be helpful throughout life. High school stu dents learn how to get along easily with others by their associations in activities. Students who go to college or into business find that their experiences in high school activi ties have helped them to become better citizens of the world. —39— The whole Indian tribe, both young and old, men and women, played games. Many of these were athletic sports, including racing, hockey, and the exciting game of lacrosse. There was much friendly competition between tribes, and sports days were often held in which everyone participated. —41 — VARSITT BASKETBALL Row 1: Bill Webster, A1 Kouba, Coach Dawes, Manager Roland Cleveland, Gary Ducll.

The team had a tally of five wins and three losses during the league play-offs, with A1 Kouba leading as high-scorer (+211).
