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—
