WHITWELL Education in time Machine Age is what the individual feels in his innermost soul that dis- tinguishes one individual from other individuals. In the de- velopment of his attitudes, one should be led into a sympathetic understanding of the great significance of the power of the Creator as this power reveals itself in the life processes of nature. These Words of Dr. Rollo G. Reynolds, principal of Horace Mann School, in a recent address at the convention of the Association for Child- hood Education, seem to fit to a word the modern idea of education. Modern education is affected by two significant trends which imply a very close relationship between schools and the leisure time agencies. One of these trends is that the present day needs of our society have thrust upon the public schools the obligation to prepare youth for wise and beneficial use of leisure, the other, that educators are constantly connecting the educational program more and more closely with real life. In a word, education is employing the method of the game. The day routine of the school room is no longer set up to repress but to stimulate. Supervision aims to create right attitudes toward learn- ing by creating wholesome interest through child cooperation. Instruc- tors are skillfully prepared to discover the causes of lack of interest and to right it. It is their desire to evoke from the child the beautiful natural qualities with which each individual's soul is endowed by the Creator. The modern classroom, like a mirror, reflects the activities, interests and problems of everyday existence. The things fundamentally interesting to a child are its main activities, and the student is thrown into contact with the challenges and methods which are certain to win interest and active wholehearted response in the hearts and minds of youth. The Machine Age has produced an amount of leisure unknown to the past generationg and therefore, the world should be educated to know how to employ this leisure time. The National Education Associa- tion has done much in promoting education for leisure of both children and adults through the seven-fold cardinal objectives: health, home, learn- ing, citizenship, vocations, avocations, and character. 16 '3' '-' THE ODYSSEY ' 73' '- Health education is not considered one of the primary responsibil- ities of the recreation leader, who, however, recognizes the importance of this work in the schools. All sorts of sports, games, hiking, swimming, gardening, camping, and innumerable other activities are enjoyed in the schools and recognized as a necessity of healthful, joyous play. Further- more, all recreation programs are planned in the light of health consider- ation, adaptation -of activities with regard to age, sex and physical qual- ities, proper balance of strenuous and quiet activities, and adequate safe guards. All around physical activities are sought, especially activities which may be employed not merely during school days, but throughout the greater part of life, and those activities which will constantly assist in keeplng one physically and mentally fit. All recognize that the home is the fundamental unit of our social and civic structure. Growing attention is being given to the development of services and activities which will aid parents to build up an increasing interest in the family environment. Recreation leaders are fully aware of the fact that a lively and developing family play life is of fundamental importance. It is said that the family that plays together stays together, and many cities have conducted special campaigns arranged to inspire and inform families concerning home recreations. One of the special services of the National Educational Association is through its national physical education service, which has done much to secure state laws requiring compulsory physical education in schools. A recreation leader's philosophy of learning is the unfolding of per- sonality. Under the leadership of qualified persons recreation programs and public play are highly educational. These programs are based upon child interests and develop growth in manual, physical, dramatic, lingu- istic, and social powers. The child is introduced to nature by actual con- tact, not merely as an instructive study, but as something beautiful and as fascinating as a game. Educating for leisure has two aspects: first, the learning of skills, and second, the satisfaction of the actual employ- ment of these skills by whatever facilities and opportunities the commun- ity offers. Thus, while learning a skill, the child learns also to cooperate and coordinate. Are not these, knowledge and cooperation, the great bal- ance wheel of our social and civic life. Public recreation is largely group work. The work of the athletic teams, orchestras, dramatic groups, choruses, reading and discussion clubs all involve team work. They are citizenship training to a high de- gree. Individuals are taught the meaning of working together-working for the benefit and welfare of all-with this object placed above per- sonal gain. A wide variety of play activities promoting the development of skill and the growth of personality has a very important bearing upon the in- dividual in the choice of a vocation and upon preparation for successful work and accomplishments in later life. Public recreation may, too, render this service to one-inspire him with the spirit of the game-which spirit he may draw into his life work-and thus lighten its burden. One of the primary concerns of recreation as a leisure movement is guidance in avocations. What the child does in his play may carry over into lasting hobbies for pleasure outlets in later life. Recreation programs involve a broad field of activities, from spinning tops to community sym- phony orchestras. Certainly each individual is sure to find something to his liking in such rich opportunities. 17 'F' THE ODYSSEY 4' '-L While the development of talents and the growth of personality are primary goals of recreational leadership, character development is the crowning achievement. There is probably no other time so opportune for the recreational leader to exert his influence upon a youth as during a game. It is at this time that an individual gives himself most fully and is most liable to adhere to suggestions. The game is the greatest testing medium for conduct and character. Formerly, in school work, competition was considered as offering something as a goal for which a student might work for. Now, however, there are definite signs of a renascence. Cooperation is surviving, while its opposite, competition, which often is based on the law of the jungle, is being abandoned. Pupils are no longer urged to vie with each other for the sake of proving their own superiority. On the contrary, they are taught to play their part for the love of the work or the game-not for the prize. Many have discontinued the plan of keeping score in athletic games, to bring out the idea of playing for the sake of play, rather than for victory. To give proofs of this one view of modern education let me mention dennite examples. The Cora Williams School in Berkeley has for years been without a system of report cards even to report attendance or citizenship. Likewise, Chicago University has recently abandoned the marking system in underg1'aduate activities. Bronxville public schools exercise a plan by which each pupil is measured by standards adapted to his own capacities. He is n-ot compared with other members of his class, but graded on his owe effort according t-o his own ability. Furthermore, the New York Times recently ran the report that Hamline University will reorganize its whole curriculum so that intellectual maturity and not grades and credits will be used as a basis of college advancement. The Machine Age seems to have turned youth's mind from cultural interests to vocational interests. I might explain that according to Dr. Lowell, president of Harvard University, the object of a cultural educa- tion is to broaden and deepen the range of thought, while that of the vocational is to prepare one for a definite occupation. The vocational plan, of course, does fit in well with this modern industrial world. But there is a question whether or not these finer arts of the world on which our civilization has been built, and which so characterized those ancient heroes of the first centuries, should be forsaken. It is held that if one has acquired a cultural approach to learning-that is, not merely a super- ficial acquaintance with many things, without thqroughly comprehending any of them, he will recognize the difference between profound and shal- low knowledge. Such a person will be capable of entering deeply into other things because he will be able to think for himself 9 whereas, one who has merely touched upon various subjects may shine as a great talker but will prove to be a poor thinker. Thus, according to President Lowell, cultural education would seem to include a solid knowledge of some sub- ject sought for the purpose, not of practice in the subject, but of mastering it from the standpoint of intellectual curiosity. Considering the extent to which the cultural studies are being pushed aside by the vocational, this advice of President Lowell seems very timely. So far in our discussion we have considered the educational situa- tion only as it refers to normal people. Time will not permit us to men- tion the immense efforts that have been established for the education of the physically and mentally handicapped children of the nation. Prac- tically every state in the union maintains great schools for the care of its ' 18 - JI- THE ODYSSEY 'T' less fortunate citizens. Who can measure not only the great amount of sin and crime that have been prevented but also the immense amount of joy and life satisfactions that have been inculcated and developed by these means among these people! The new creative view of education claims that young people already have native powers of exceptional educational value. Listen to the words of the poet Milton written before the Machine Age was dreamed of: I shall detain you no longer in the demonstration of what we should not do, but straight conduct ye to a hillside where I will point ye out the path of a virtuous and noble education, laborious indeed at the first ascent, but else so smooth, so green, so full of goodly prospect and melodious sounds on each and every side that the harp of Orpheus was no more charming. -DOROTHY A. WHLTWELL llgllistory, wtlhe Great Vllweaclher ISTOPY' That stupendous pageant that goes back to the 1 ,!FY.Qa:7r!? N ' 1 1 . It Z times of the old patriarchs with their flocks and herds, the Sv keen-eyed Greek, the stately Roman, the watching Jew, the uncouth Goth, the horrid Hun, the settled picture -of the un- kind' '21 changing East, the restless shifting of the rapid West, the rise of the cold and classical civilization, its fall, the rough, impetuous Middle Ages, the vague warm picture of ourselve and home. Dionysus said, History is philosophy teaching by example. Surely, then, it is our task to be historically-minded, to judge tolerantly, to see things in the proper perspective, to study the thoughts and actions of different men in different situations. We should follow the lead of this great teacher, History, in our effort to describe an ever-rising curve of civilization. Life is too short for us to stumble through blindly. The chronicle of man is full of examples which serve as guides and signposts in national politics, in community politics and certainly most greatly in our individual lives. Every event has a result. This statement in itself is practically axiomatic. However, carrying this idea a little more in detail, and study- ing closely any portion of the world's history, we evolve the interesting fact, that any abnormal or unusual event is followed by another event which acts as a balance wheel. A war is an abnormal event, and every one of them is followed by a balancing event, which is called an aftermath. The aftermath of the Civil War, the Reconstruction Period, was characterized not only by a political revolution, but by economic, social, and intellectual revolutions as wel . The whole economic life of the South was upturned, the social pyra- mid was stood upon its apex,' ' and great intellectual progress in educa- tion, newspapers, religion, and literature was realized. The aftermath of the World War has been characterized by dis- turbances even greater. By reason of several complex factors the United States has been established as a great creditor nation of this world, second only to Great Britain. In short, what was ruinous to other nations, bol- stered us up. The depression of 1921 was deeper by reason of primary and secondary causes of the war. It has been cited by numerous histor- 19 il 'I' THE ODYSSEY '5' ':' ians, notably'John Maurice Clark of Columbia University, that the present crime wave now rampant in our country is a result of the war. Plunge four million young men, many of them uniit for their careers, into a country which has no frontier, for an outlet of energies as this country had in previous wars, and something must happen. The stabilizing in- fluence of the frontier is no longer present and the inevitable balancing result must take place in some other form. These previous examples have shown the balancing result after an unusual event. We learn of the balanced symmetry of history, and thus we learn to expect and to prepare ourselves, with foresight, for results that must come about. Lessons of history are not confined merely to such things as results of wars or causes of ec-onomic depressions and crime waves. Carlyle has said, The history of the world is the biography of great men. The human element is one of the most interesting and enlightening phases, fraught with its human Weaknesses and human bravery. As Pope so aptly stated, The proper study of mankind is man. We often wonder what makes -one man a hero, and another man of similar experiences and similar station in life, a traitor? Perhaps two men who best illustrate this point are to be found in our own history of the United States. Benedict Arnold and George Washington are perhaps the greatest examples of a contemporary traitor and hero, excluding Jesus Christ and Judas Iscariot. Gamaliel Bradford says the following of Benedict Arnold: The complexity of Arnold's tragic adventure is what makes it fascinating and has led so many novelists and dramatists to use him as a central or a subsidiary figure. He was no mean, sneaking, cowardly, con- sistent rascal. He was a splendid fighter, a quick-eyed soldier, apparently a sincere and earnest patriot, admired and esteemed by thousands of his countrymen, praised and trusted by Washington. Yet he was guilty of the blackest treachery, and sold the personal trust of Washington for a cash reward. Could there be a soul more interesting to probe in its subtle mixture of darkness and light? In 1741 started this career of furious action. At the age of iifteen, Arnold plunged into the French and Indian War. He spent his early manhood in several adventurous affairs about New Haven and was active in the Revolution from the start. He was with Ethan Allen at Ticon- deroga, his naval enterprise on Lake Champlain is famous, as is his heroic march to Quebec in 1775. About this time he was slighted by Congress, when five major generals were appointed. However, he overlooked this neglect and took a hero's part in the Saratoga campaign, which is re- garded as one of the most important battles of all time. Because he was severely wounded, Washington gave him the military governorship of Philadelphia. This was the beginning of his downfall. He married a loyalist woman, lived extravagantly, made speculations, and in general irritated the citizens. He was finally tried by court martial and sentenced to be reprimanded by Washington. These factors, accompanied by a temper played upon constantly by furious passion, by need of money, by the baser elements of ambition, and by vanity, led him to start negotiations with the British for the delivering of West Point to them. Then follows the well-known story of Major Andre's capture, the discovery of the plot, and of Arnold's escape to the British. 20 '5' '-' THE ODYSSEY '3' - - W Our history text-books do not tell of the remainder of Arnold's life. That is where they miss the chance of driving home a real lesson. No matter how much like preaching it may sound, it is nevertheless true that no fifth act of a tragedy was ever more impressively moral than the last twenty years of Arnold's life. The practical side of his life was a constant struggle, he was dis- regarded in his search for military advancement, and the world at large held a cold contempt for him. Insults and open slights were not uncommon. There is an old family tradition that when Arnold was near death. he had his old Continental uniform brought to him and put it on, mut- tering, God forgive me for ever putting on any other. It seems a wide gap from Benedict Arnold to George Washington, but in a way the men are similar. They were contemporaries, they were both great strategists, inspiring leaders, distinguished by bravery and magnanimity. However, here the diverging of the comparison comes. One goes to black disgrace, the other is firmly intrenched in the hearts of American patriots forever. Why is this? Both Arnold and Washington were assailed with ambition of equal intensity. But the ambition of Arnold was a retaliation against the country which he thought had slighted him-a retaliation that entirely blotted a wonderful career, Washington's ambition was a desire for high service to this same country. It would be possible to tell praises of Washington almost endlessly, but this would be only a repetition of what has been said so many times. Two of the characteristics that made him great were extreme patience and courage, bolstered up by his faith in man and God. In spite of hostile criticism, small forces, poor equipment, treachery and plots, these two qualities, always foremost in his character, were potent factors in winning the Revolutionary War, and afterwards were of great aid in keeping the head of the young republic above water in those first troubled years. These thoughts bring to mind those oft-repeated lines of Long- fellow: Lives of great men all remind us, We can make our lives sublime And departing, leave behind us ' Footprints in the sands of time. Men like Washington and Lincoln are immortal for the reason that they live on in the hearts and minds of all Americans. It is true that Benedict Arnold has in this respect attained immor- tality, but it is an immortality that can be likened to the fires of hell. It is a wise man who profits by the errors of those who go before him. If experience is the best teacher, does it matter, if the individual is keen. whether the experience be his own personal one or not? By a backward glance we can easily see the fate of men or nations obsessed with a material over-ambition that infringed on the rights and territories of others-Napoleon, Kaiser Wilhelm, Rome. Germany. Napoleon, the Corsican. who conquered half of Europe, is one of the most picturesque figures in all history. There is one outstanding characteristic of Napoleon which is a guide to all of his actions-that active mind of his was always iilled with an overweening ambition to accomplish whatever desire filled his soul. It is difficult to estimate just how much great service would have befallen mankind, if this man's ambitious energy had found expression in affairs of another nature-in invention, science, literature, or art. We wonder when we see the effect of his greatest work, the Code Napoleon. 21 '3' - ' THE ODYSSEY ' '3' 73' This code of rational law is the foundation of the systems of practically every country of continental Europe even to this day. But the fact remains that he was assailed by several dangerous ambitions even from his boyhood. As a boy in Corsica his most intense emotion was his hatred of France and his desire to avenge his beloved Corsica against her oppressor. His boyhood ambition died after he escaped to France, an outcast from his native land. His next two ambitions were the conquering of Italy and Egypt. Now, desirous of power, he overthrew the Directory, and soon had himself proclaimed Emperor of France. Not yet satisfied, he set out to conquer Europe, and he almost succeeded. This overpowering ambition had made him supreme over half of Europe, yet it was this same inordinate desire making him try ever for more and more, that eventually brought about his abdication to Elba, and later his Waterloo and his subsequent exile to St. Helena. All these points have been presented to forward the idea that one of the main duties of history is to serve as our teacher and guide on affairs of nation, of state, of community, and of the individual himself. Everything turns on the point of view. The reader is the spec- tator of the pageant, he must be cool to judge and discriminate, with no bias toward praise or blame, content merely to observe as the constant stream unfolds itself in all its changing colors, but with mind ready to judge human actions and motives, an imagination ready to seize on the ever-living drama of fact, and a heart ready to respond to those countless acts of heroism that have ennobled great men and great races, and with them all humanity. Then and then only is he a pupil of History, the great teacher, and then only can he make himself entirely fit for service to his country and to his fellow-man. -RICHARD HOPKINS. Kfalledliicltory :ESF 'iqfilLASSMATES, we pause now at the end of four years of study Q, and four years of pleasant friendship, at the time when we j g must leave our beloved Alma Mater. The ever-present goal of Commencement Day We have at ' wif last secured with the aid and cooperation of those groups of people who rank as more than friends to us. To our faculty we owe our deepest gratitude for their unfailing and understanding efforts in furthering our best interests, to our prin- cipal we owe heartfelt thanks and praises for his able supervision and advice during our high school course, to our parents is due great appre- ciation for their many sacrifices and their sound advice, and to the Board of Education we owe grateful recognition of their ever-present desire to promote our welfare. For a long time now have our paths of life been close, and the direction parallel in all respects, but now comes the diverging of the ways-permanent, perhaps, for a few of us. Be that as it may, nothing will ever serve to drive from our inner minds the remembrance of the good times and friendships we had to- gether in Lansingburgh High School. Alma Mater, the class of 1931 bids you farewell! -RICHARD HOPKINS. 22 Mater Ahna Mater L. H. S. Fondest thoughts with- thee do rest, Scarcely can our song express Our love for thee.

We have anticipated this day with a great deal of enthusiasm and we trust that our parents and friends will enjoy it with us. During the time that has elapsed since our entering high school we have taken great strides toward the realization of objectives which had previously been merely dreams. The accomplishments are indicated by our presence here and we Gnd an exceedingly bright outlook for the im- mediate, as well as the more distant future. Today we realize the absolute devotion of our parents in making a high school education possible for us. They have sympathized with us in our failuresg they have lauded us for our attainmentsg and they have at all times encouraged us to arrive at greater heights. Under the guidance of our faithful faculty, who have endeavored to instruct us in whatever courses we have pursued, we have at last reached the goal for which we have been striving these past four years. Beyond the extensive and accurate knowledge of facts which we have acquired we have unconsciously learned many lessons in character building which can never be taken from us. Some of us will continue as students in schools of higher learningg others will enter immediately into the busi- ness world, but none will ever forget the training received in Lansing- burgh High School. We wish to offer a word of encouragement to the under-graduates. Even if the way seems difficult, perservereg the goal is well worth the journey. The Class of 1931, like any other class which has been graduated from Lansingburgh High School, has ideals and we sincerely hope that we have honorably established ourselves on the archives of our Alma Mater. As president I present the Class of 1931 in history, testament, prophecy, poetry, and song. -JOSEPH G. FLAGLER 37 e .,,:e THE QDYSSEY 5i?7I e-5?-fiiif '3' THE ODYSSEY ' '5' '3' Key Uratiom Members of the Faculty, Parents, and Friends: Today, at the completion of our high school careers, it becomes our honored duty and privilege to surrender this Key of Knowledge to the Class of 1932. This Key symbolizes all the wholesome knowledge one may gain, together with the high ideals and traditions of this, our Ama Mater. It unlocks the portals of Learning, and with careful guidance through the halls of Knowledege, one may finally enter the inner sanctuary of Wisdom. With this key as our guide, we, the Class of 1931, have successfully completed our final year in this school, and by always keeping its ideals before us we should go on to greater achievements. The world progresses most noticeably not only in science, but also in social, economic, political and literary fields. With advantages such as those afforded us, we should not only keep up with this progress, but we should go still farther and become leaders in this great age. It is with heartfelt sadness that we leave this school, for not until now have we realized what good times we have had here and what great opportunities it has presented us. Here we have learned the value and joy of cooperation, the acknowledgment and respect of authority, and have learned to show the spirit of victory in spite of disappointments. Contrasted with the sadness of leaving our Alma Mater is the great pleasure experienced as we give into the custody of the class of 1932 this key that they may use it wisely as a guide by which they may go on to accomplish greater results than those achieved by us. Class of 1932-into your keeping this day we give this emblem which has brought us successfully through our senior year. May it be to you a challenge to uphold the high standards of your Alma Mater, also may it inspire in you that confidence which is needed for the accomplish- ment of any task. We trust that you, in accepting this key, will recognize its symbolism so that you will be ready to step in and take your place a year from this day, worthy to become graduates of Lansingburgh High School. -LANCE JOHNSON Response ite Key Oration The Class of Nineteen Thirty-two has given me, as its representa- tive, the supreme honor of accepting this fine key which has, undoubtedly, inspired many classes before to reach great heights. The realization that the proper use of this key will eventually admit us to the realm of the learned, spurs us on to further conquest. By un- locking the doors that lead to success, and passing the others by, we, too, shall earn an enviable place in the annals of Lansingburgh High School. Seniors, we are indebted to you for bestowing upon us this esti- mable symbol of knowledge, and we wish to express our deep appreciation for it. We assure you that we will incessantly strive to reach that high level, both in scholastic and social endeavor, attained so nobly by you during the past year. Farewell, Seniors. The Class of Nineteen Thirty-two bids you Godspeed. -RUSSELL MADSEN, '32 38 'F '3' THE ODYSSEY 'G' ':' Class History was an amazed and bewildered collection of nondescript fresh- QQQEQSW men that found itself within the walls of Lansingburgh High School, nearly four years ago. One every side we were beset with trials and privations, primarily due to the efforts of the TTT sophomore class. Thus it was with great difiicuty that we learned the ways of our new school and assumed the duties of well-mean- ing freshmen. At the first meeting of the class, we elected Chester Lambert as our president. Many times during the year wending our way up the wrong stairs we inevitably ran into trouble of some sort, and stared in awe at those worthy seniors! During our second year, John Rohn was elected president. The girls joined the Hi-Y group and became better acquainted with the upper class- men, as this served to break the ice between them. We passed on many quaint and unusual customs to the incoming freshmen. The next year Richard Hopkins was elected president. At the same time he was our Grand Marshal, a singular honor for a junior. The class took great interest in school activities, assuming important positions in athletics and clubs. It was during this year that the girls who had enough counts to be full-fledged juniors were admitted, by a rather harsh initia- tion, to the Adelphian Society. When it came to the selection of our rings, great interest was shown and we chose an odd ring with a very modern- istis design. This year was one of initiations and paying club dues. The Science Club, Lambda Club, and the Classical Club all held initiations and demanded dues. Several members of our class were in the dramatic pro- ductions The Goose Hangs High, and Captain Applejackf' The most colorful event of the year was the Junior Prom, held at the endrick Hudson Hotel. A large crowd attended, and everybody had a good time. Last fall we returned to school as seniors-real seniors. How proud we were and how superior we felt! We elected a boy who has proven himself more than worthy of the honor of president-Joseph Gleason Flagler. Six members were tapped into the Magna Cum Laude group of the Society of Scholarship, and in June more members were tapped into the Cum Laude group of the Society. In May, nine members were elected into the National Honor Society. Then came the successful Lambda Dance held at Arcadia, and an Inter-City Tri-Y Dance at Riverside. Both of these events were greatly enjoyed by all who attended. The junior Adel- phian girls invited the senior Adelphian girls to a picnic at Silver Falls- the first time this has ever been done. The Dramatic Society gave a very successful play, The Charm School, held at the school on November 21. Throughout the year, several Matinee Dances were held, at which the girls did most of the dancing. We anticipate an enjoyable evening at the Alumni Dance. Now, as we approach the end of our senior activities it is with a certain feeling of satisfaction that we glance back upon our career at Lansingburgh High School. We leave our Alma Mater, in the hope that our future will be as bright as our four years here. -WAYNE DENNY 39 ' :. THE ODYSSEY 'i' Cciiass lproplheccy N a summer's day in 1941, the light refreshing rain was patter- ing on my window-sill. Each little drop seemed' tostand out .J so clearly, some large, some small. I began thinking of 'my classmates in L. H. S., wondering what each one was doing. ' 'A A f l As the afternoon passed, the rain ceased and twilight brought a clear sky with stars already showing through its great blue ceiling. Before I retired, I sat and looked out of my window, up into the sky at one large star. It seemed to come nearer and nearer to meg the light grew brighter and it lost its starlike shape. Suddenly it changed into a bright golden screen. I heard great peals of laughter, then I saw a group of men in a circle, laughing heartily. When at last they withdrew a little, who should I see but Betty Gill in person, and Betty, of course, was laughing. I could not hear what she was saying, but the men seemed quite amused. Evidently Betty was still the center of attraction among young men as she had been in our second period history class. Next, I saw a neatly kept office and a small girl sitting at the desk. It was Miriam Gordonier who, I learned from the talk of the others in the office, was an excellent secre- tary but had a hard time keeping any one position because of her inces- sant talking. Then I found myself walking into the lobby of the Roxy. As I entered the theatre, I met Paul Goldsmith who was now chief usher and expecting to become manager within a short time. However, Paul did not seem to notice me, for he was very excited and busy. I soon found that Peg Ewing, the charming star of the show, Making Whoopee, was already ten minutes late. After a short time, Peg came running into the theatre, her make up in her hand. Paul relaxed for the first time since I had seen him, and everyone was happy. The next scene was in Speigletown. As I passed a little bungalow, I noticed a girl on the porch. It wasn't long before I recognized Dottie Bonesteel, all dressed up, and Howe. Next, I saw a crowd eagerly and enthusiastically listening to a speaker whom I recognized to be Albert Jackson. No doubt Albert gained his start to this famous career when he gave oral topics in English class. Next, I saw a sign: How to Gain a Winning Way with the Ladies Use Hortooafs Famous Hair Tonic So Mickey had revealed the secret of how he kept his hair so slick and had won favor with the girls at L. H. S., especially one young lady. I saw Mickey inside and learned from him that Ed. Cuerdon had become a fam- ous literary critic but was as well known by those who worked with him for his willingness to help out whenever he could. Another change and I was at a college football game. I noticed particularly a small light-haired girl, cheering as hard as all the rest. At first I thought she was just another co-ed but when I looked closely I saw that it was Betty Dinehart. Later, I learned that she was happily married to the coach and every weekend went to the football games. Next was in the newspaper office of the Troy Times. I saw a fellow, wearing glasses, leaning intently over some work. I soon found that it was William Brown, who had now become editor. Mary Connors was the next one of my classmates. Mary was now an efficient librarian. She was helping some one as she always willingly did while in L. H. S. 40 'S' THE ODYSSEY The next scene was in a small town in France. I saw a girl leaning over a box of antiques and all sorts of ancient but precious little things. She was saying, Oh, I love old things like that. From this, I knew that it was Olga Hannah. I was happy to know that Sammie had realized one of her greatest ambitions, to travel abroad. With a flash I was back in America. Again, a sign took my eye: Eddyis' Longer Lasting Chewing Gum So Harriet hadn't forgotten how she enjoyed gum in her school days and had invented some that would last all day. Harriet had a lot of news for me: first, that Marie ,O'Brien had invented a new kind of rumble seat which was guaranteed to be comfortable-Marie hadn't forgotten the day she deserted her studies to go riding and talked from then on about how uncomfortable she had been, then, that Harry Jensen had become a noted singer, but we were not surprised at this because Harry had displayed his great vocal abilities while in high school. And, Harriet said, Dee Fox has become a robber. What, I exclaimed, one of our classmates has stolen something? Yes, she said, I hear he has stolen a precious jewel. Whereupon I relaxed, and my surprise vanished. In thenext scene, I saw a cozy little sitting room and a girl huddled up in a large chair. It was Betty Saehrig. I began talking, to her and learned that she was happily married and Betty said it was due to the fact that she could see through her husband perfectly, that she handled him with care, and in that way, they got along admirably. Just then the door bell rang. A small boy ran in and overturned a nearby table. A girl's voice rang after him, Harry, come back here and behave yourself. Dot Kellogg walked in, and after she had embraced Betty, the two began talking. A short walk from Betty's house brought me to a garage of which Bill Cunningham was the owner. He rented cars to school boys who wished to chauffeur during school hours. Bill was arguing furiously with some one. Soon I recognized the other person to be Frank Sheehan. A short distance from here, I met a small boy who was selling balloons. After talking with him for a while, I discovered that he was working for Ruth Schatzle. He led me to Ruth's residence and there I learned that Ruth had gained such power when she blew up twenty-five balloons one day in the Ten Cent Store, that she had gone into the busi- ness. Ruth told me that Kay Lewis was having the time of her life as the result of the millions her husband had gained from his ointment factory. Harold Bashford was still selling vacuum cleaners and making large profits. Joe Flagler, also, was enjoying life to the utmost, having become a successful business man. Suddenly the screen was gone. I looked up into the sky, there was the one bright star. The clock downstairs rang two. No, I hadn't been dreaming, I had just imagined all this about my classmates. -CAROLYN CRAYMER 0123 Show Off Street, Cheesehoundville, Missouri, March 2, 1941. Dear Bugsy Stinger: A short time ago I took a trip to Mars in my plane. I would like you to understand that this is by no means an even superficies as in geometry, nor a carpenter's tool, but a little machine that flies around in the sky. I thought I had better explain this term to you, as I know you have been living in Dumb-bellville for some time. By the wayif you 41 '3' '5' THE ODYSSEY '5' - don't know, Mars is a planet named after the Roman god of war. While I was in Mars I told the good old man that I would like to see and to chat with my classmates from L. H. S. He placed a crystal ball before me and said that I should repeat the name of the person I wished to see. I The first person whom I called was Marie Battaglia, who had been on the verge of entering the matrimonial ranks when we left school. Marie sat on a large veranda, surrounded by a group of red haired chil- dren, who, she said, were studying to be sculptors so that they might build better statues for Mama and Papa's use. Dick Hopkins, our valedictorian, was in charge of the Hopkins School for Backward Children. In one of the school rooms were three blond-haired children who were trying to figure out some way to find the answer to 2 plus 2. How astonished I was when I learned that their father was the owner of the school. Another room contained several queer looking box-shaped machines. Inscribed on each was The Kittell Fat Producing Machine, patented July 2, 1932. It had not taken Mack long to find a way to put some flesh on himself and Dick's underweight pupils. Dot Whitwell was working in Dick's school, still at her old job, binding books. She said that she and Louis were married, and that Louis had been practicing dentistry for a short time, but that he did not have a very good business yet. I suppose Dot thought that if the children were backward their teeth would also be backward, and in that way she could obtain some business for Louis. Irene Nial was the manufacturer of wrinkle cream as a result of her giggling in 'L. H. S. I believe I shall have to try some of Irene's cream as I also always did my share of giggling in school. Betty Schneck, having married a minister, was living in Cropsey- ville, still being a little business manager, caring for her six children, all of whom were going to be Lutheran ministers or missionaries, feeding the chickens, and being president of the Missionary Society, the Ladies' Auxiliary and the Lutheran League. Ellen Wiley was sponsoring the Lansingburgh Special between Johnsonville and Lansingburgh which left Johnsonville at 8:15 and reached school in time for the first period class. Ellen was certainly doing her fellow townsmen a good turn. Maurie Esmond, having been Mayor of Waterford for five years, had accomplished much, for Waterford is now the largest city in New York State, and also contains some of the best theatres and dramatic schools in the world. Maurie said that her world-wide known theatres and dramtic schools owed their fame to the efforts of Mr. James Edward Phillip and John Spring, who were her stage manager and carpenter respectively. Fred Stoll, as a French actor, had made the play Ici On Parle Francais, famous because of his extensive knowledge of French and his wonderful French accent. One pecular thing I noticed was that during the play Fred still said e fin instead of en fin. Jack Vedder, with a cigarette in his mouth and his shirt sleeves rolled up, was playing the piano while a group oflpretty blonde and bru- nette follies' girls rehearsed a dance. Jackinow had all the girls that one man could attend to at once, and he was certainly paying a lot more attention to them than to what he was playing, for all of a sudden he began to play The Wedding March. Betty Lyman was working in a large drug store in New York City and had a very efficient Trainor to teach her the tricks of the trade. 42 'S' 'T' THE ODYSSEY '5' '3' Kiddy Craymer, the petite girl of our class, who had always favored a French part in the plays at school, was living in Paris, happily married to the highest officer in the French army, a Marshall. I found Raymond Eaton running a hot dog stand near his home. He said that one of his chief reasons for opening this stand was so that the Girls' Hi-Y would not have to bring their dogs with them when they held their annual roast at Gypsy Lane. Grace Simmons had invented a new kind of glasses for typists, which were guaranteed not to slip down on the nose. When I asked her what the secret was, she said that whatever kind of material the nose piece was made of it always had some chewing gum mixed with it. Lance Johnson and Wayne Denny were dancing professors in the former Doring Dancing Academy. A special class was held on Thursday evening for the bashful boys of L. H. S. who wished to learn how to dance. Milford Cahrenger was the manufacturer of a blush proof soap. Milford said that any boy who used this soap need never think about blushing, not even when reciting in oral English class. I now saw a sign on a very large brick building which read, Miss Bernice Cady's School of Athletics. Bernice was now the only woman football coach in America and had made this game as famous for girls as for boys. Helen N ial, the editor-in-chief of The Odyssey, was now the editor- in-chief of The Hometown Thistledown News. To amuse herself during her leisure time, Helen ran the Uncle Abe and David Tea Room. Helen said she enjoyed doing this very muchu as she had a chance to meet all types of people, especially interesting boys. George Osborn was the inventor of a non-static radio. He said that he was making a cross-country tour, to give lectures on his radio and that one of his first stopping places was Melrose. I immediately said that I would tell his brother Trojans to attend and give him a big hand. I know you have enjoyed this letter immensely, so long as you were not a member of my class. The next time that I write I shall try to find more news that will be just as interesting to you. Your devoted friend, THE NEWSYREPORTER. Hotel High Hat, New York, New York, July 1, 1941. Dear Chatterbox: Your delightful, amusing letter telling of the activities of our old classmates certainly gave me a few jolts. I was perfectly astonished to hear that Irene Ecyeleshymer was president of the Perfect Complexion Soap Company of Chicago. So our old friend Elmer Durivage is selling the Glossy Hair Curling Tonic. Well, that's not so amazing. He certainly used to suffer patiently in history class listening to the flattering remarks of the girls and the envious remarks of the boys concerning his curly locks. You didn't have to tell me what a success Ida Bothwell is as pro- prietor of the general store in Cropseyville. I always knew that what she undertook she would accomplish. Dorothea Connor deserves to have a half interest in the 5 Sz 10 Cent Chain Stores for she always gave her best efforts in their behalf. 43 ':' 'F' THE ODYSSEY 3' - A But what I wasn't surprised to learn was that Kay Boufis had settled down on a farm off Oil Mill Hill. She certainly did favor Clem when she was in school. Well, so much for your news. I have just returned from a trip to New York and what I didn't hear and see of our old classmates, is not worth mentioning. To begin with, I arrived in New York and decided 'to stay at the Biltmore Hotel. 'While registering there who did I meet but Isabel Stevens. She told me she was employed in the hotel. I was not surprised, for way back in '31 she was fascinated by the hotels in Albany. After registering I had dinner and then I planned to attend the theatre. I walked up to the box office' of the Roxy Theatre and who was in it but Barbara Aldrich who calmly handed me my ticket, as though we were back in the Lansing Theatre. She sells tickets when she is bored with attending the social functions of her friends. The feature presentation was excellent but I received the surprise of my life when I saw Kittie Hayner in one of the acts. She was having her troubles as the head of a girls' school and our old friend Bill Burns was causing all the commotion by serenading the girls with his uke and making them forget that they must stay in nights and study their lessons. The second act depicted an angry young bridegroom who was becoming even more angry by his failure to find his collar button. I observed the young man closely and saw that it was none other than Bob Boyd. Evi- dently he was still making a success of the play entitled The Wedding, which was presented at the Burgh High in '31. After the show I went backstage to see our friends and they cer- tainly had news for me. I learned that Mary Gallo is a fashion designer in Paris. Remember how we envied her school frocks? George Holzhauer is the owner of the Collegiate Sweater Mill in Indiana and Kenneth Quantock is president of an Oklahoma Oil Company. Chet Quinn is making his first million as a cartoonist and is enjoy- ing life immensely. Q You'll never guess what John Rohn is doing. He has taken over Helmbold's Market in Troy and is very successful. I finally took leave of my talented friends and went to my hotel. The next morning I went shopping and while in Macy's Department Store I met Iva Whitehouse. She told me that she was an art teacher in one of the large New York Schools. We chatted for awhile and I learned that Dorothy Wilde is a private secretary to a prominent lawyer. Lillian Sea- man has now attained the title of the world's champion typist and travels extensively demonstrating her talents. Betty Reuter and Jean Winnie are conducting a part-time school in Maine. Well, they never did approve of attending school all the time. Marion Smith is trying to defeat the world's tennis champion and at present is engaged in many minor tournaments. Chet Lambert, having conquered his fear of the dance fioor, is con- ducting Van Arnam's Dancing School in Troy. George Hansen is coaching the boys at Notre Dame while William Walsh is a famous baseball player. Well, dear, this concludes my news of our old classmates. Each and everyone is meeting with great success and I, for one, am glad. Now don't forget your promise to come to New York soon for a visit with me. I'll be looking forward to seeing you. As ever, MARIE O'BRIEN 44 -2- -'I' THE ODYSSEY '3' Last Will and Testament f'.fx'TRQTQQ E, the class of one thousand nine hundred and thirty-one of Lansingburgh High School, City of Troy, County of Rensselaer, fl 1 jf- State of New York, being of exceptionally sound mind and body, do declare this to be our Last Will and Testament.

Emmett Marzello, the notorious gangster, wishes to bestow his knowledge of gangland to Pete Gallo. We also extend the use of John Clarkson's as a headquarters for Pete and his gang. It gives us great pleasure to announce that we have obtained per- mission for Hans Skau to re-enter Clarkson's Sweetee Shoppe. We retain the right to declare this permission null and void. Bob Boyd and Chet Quinn, the national Yo Yo champion, bequeath their knowledge of the aforesaid sport to Jack Sorenson and Carl Marshall. ' Bill Burns leaves his conservative choice of neckwear and his ex- tremely narrow bottomed trousers to Roger Whitney. Dot Bonesteel wills her private seat in Lindsay's Drug Store to Elizabeth Morse. Mister Ashcroft gives his remarkable ability as a crooner to Mark Patten.

The class at the time of making, acknowledged that it made the same, and declared the said instrument so subscribed by it, to be its Last Will and Testament. Whereupon, within and thereon, at the re- quest of the class and the presence of each other, subscribed our names HAROLD HORTON TOM GALLO . DORA WILSON as witnesses thereunto. .-i-l Class Song of ll95ll I Say good-bye to the days of fun, These We're leaving to you, As we go out one by one.

These gifts have woven a bond about us, That all suggestions of farewell defy, For wherever there are memories There is never a real goodbye. Class poem of ll95ll Four years of looking forward, Years of pleasure and of strife, End, as now our graduation Marks a turning point in life. Graduation may be likened To a rainbow in the sky: Both result from fruitful pastime, One on earth, and one on high. High school days are ne'er forgotten, Graduation marks their endg Seedlings ne'er forget soft showers, After God a rainbow sends. As the rainbow dims, then vanishes, A new world is derived. At Commencement, life takes rise anew, Strange incentive has arrived. In the colors of the rainbow Are the qualities of life. Brilliant hues imply true living, Faded ones incline toward strife. In the middle of the rainbow Sits a sprightly little elf. He is pointing to those colors Daring each to judge himself. Shall we prove that in our bodies We hold truth, akin to blueg We are pure, like white's own beautyg And like yellow, joyous, too. To the parents who have counseled us, When the storm clouds bade us quail, To the teachers who have guided us Shall we prove we cannot fail? As we say goodbye to L. H. 'S. There's a pang Within each heart: But the mem'ries of these happy days, Linger on-as comrades part.

':' - THE ODYSSEY '3' - :' Editorial ' Q lg! Fit URING the past four years we have looked forward to gradu- Miiigl ation. Now, at last, we have reached our goal. But of what el use a high school education if We have obtained knowledge Q fl' v only from books? Books are useful-in most courses of study necessary, but are they not a poor substitute for life? If, in these last four years, we have learned the true meaning of the word friend, if we have come to reallze that there is something in life more valuable than riches, if we can fully appreciate the glories of nature as God created them, if We have more clearly recognized the responsibilities to others that the mere matter of living has bestowed upon us, if at the close of each day we can have that feeling of satisfaction, so beautifully expressed by Longfellow, Something accomplished, something done, Has earned a night's repose then, indeed we have a full high school education. In this last year we have had many new and strange tasks to per- form each day. Half-bewildered by these, we turned to the faculty for help and advice. It was always cheerfully and willingly given. So it is that the class of nineteen hundred and thirty-one takes this opportunity to express its appreciation to Mr. Taylor, without whose help this Odyssey would never have been printed. It was he who straightened out matters at every turning point, changing our path from the rough, stony one it would have been to a comparatively smooth highway. - We thank Mrs. Brown for all the work she put on our Alumni notes, never hesitating for a minute to spend time and energy in the effort to help us perfect our book. We will never forget the splendid cooperation of Miss Allyn, our English advisor. We are deeply indebted to Miss Gould for the work she has accom- plished with the art editors of this book, the success she has achieved being easily noticed. And last, we wish to express our gratitude to the entire faculty for aiding us in every possible way over the pitfalls of our course. -HELEN NIAL 68 'i' THE ODYSSEY 'P' '3' Uallyissey Board FRONT ROW-Ellen Wiley, Girls, Hi-Y: Robert Boyd, Bll,h'lllf'SS Mciiirlgerq Mrs. E.

Olga Hannah was elected presidentg Betty Gill, secre- taryg Elizabeth Lyman, treasurerg and Marian Kafka, a Junior, vice- president. November 6, 1930, marked the beginning of our monthly meet- ings. Poets' Night was the subject of the first meeting at which time members discussed modern poets. On November 25 many new members were received into the group, thus greatly increasing the membership. During the year several speakers were enjoyed. Miss Smith gave a very interesting account of her trip abroad during the past summer. Mrs. Helen A. Butfum, who has resided in Mexico, appeared in native costumes and pictured vividly the life and customs of the Mexicans. Reverend Pau! Wagner related his personal experiences With the American Indians in South Dakota. At the Christmas meeting the Adelphians enjoyed a grab bag-a very humorous entertainment. The evening of the Troy High game, the girls followed an old custom of the society by bringing their lunches and remaining for the game. The Adelphians entertained the Faculty and the National Honor Society at tea. upon the induction of new members into the Honor Society. As the senior members of the society leave their Alma Mater, they wish to extend to the remaining Adelphians their best wishes for a most successful year. -MARJORIE EWING 73 ' '3' '5' THE ODYSSEY T -W F ' 1 Front Rowell.

The requirements for membership are to maintain an average of eighty per cent in either Chemistry or Physics. For the second year of a science an average of seventy-five is required. The ideals of the club are to promote a greater interest in science throughout the school and to pursue the Work of science further than is taught in the courses. To follow this policy the Science Club has held regular meetings and through the efforts of Robert Vedder We gained some very interesting information about the telephone company and its work. The club also sponsored a trip to the Hudson Valley Coke plant which Was given for the benefit of the Chemistry classes. --HOWARD KITTELL 74 '3' 'F' THE ODYSSEY Ji' . '-I -3 . ' ' S l r1mt Row-D.

At the first meeting of the school year, in September, plans were made for t1'youts of new members. At a later meeting, twenty-six new members were admitted to the society. At the October meeting the following omcers were elected: OLGA HANNAH ........................... President MARK PATTEN ...................... Vice President BETTY DINEHART .. .. Secretary and Treasurer JAMES PHILLIPS .......... Stage Manager BETTY GILL ...,.. ............. C ostumer BETTY SCHNECK .. ............. Prompter ROBERT BOYD .................... Business Manager WILLIAM BROWN .............

The Charm School by Alice Duer Miller and Robert Milton, was presented in November with the following cast: Irene Nial, Elise Bene- dotti, Louis Greisen, Austin Beruans, Catherine Hayner, Miss Curtis, Elizabeth Rueter. Miss Hays, Wayne Denny, Homerr Johns, Joseph Flag- ler, George Boyd, Chester Quinn, Tint Sivnpkins, Mark Patten, J nz Simp- lcins, Frederick Stohl, David MacKen,eie,' Betty Dinehart, Sally Boyd, Carolyn Craymer, Aliz Mercier, Isabel Stevens, Madge Kent, Dorothy VVhitwell, Mnrfiel Doughty, Marie O'Brien, Lillian Sta.ffoo'd, Barbara Twamley, Grace Cline and Marian Abbott, Gfirls, Frances Kane, Dotsrie. Miss Marjorie Allyn directed the play and made it the success that it was proclaimed. 'The plot of the play concerns the dilemma of a young man, who Ends that he has inherited a school for young women with the stipulation that he must not fall in love with any student and he must keep Miss Hays as principal. The part of the confident young man was well enacted by Louis Greisen, while Elizabeth Rueter was a very excellent principal. Consequent developments of the play furnished humor and it developed that Miss Hays resigned her position and left Bevans in charge. In spite of precaution, he falls in love with a student, the girl whose part was brilliantly portrayed by Irene Nial, and a great deal of trouble-until in the end we see the inevitable happy ending. In March a one-act play competition was conducted by the R. P. I. Players at their Playhouse. The Dramatic Societies of Troy, Schenectady and Lansingburgh took part. The Valiant by Holworthy Hall and Robert Middlemass was presented by the Dramatic Society of our school with the following cast: Richard Hopkins, The Valiant, Helen Nial, The Gez'rl,' Joseph Flagler, the Warden, Edward Cuerdon, The Pri-est, Harry Jensen, Jailor, John Hall, Attendant. The stage manager was Fred Stohlg property manager, Olga Han- nah, electrician, James Phillip, and prompter, Irene Nial. Although the silver trophy was awarded by the R. P. I. Players to the Schenectady Dramatic Society, which presented Poor Aubrey, the Lansingburgh Club rated a close second. The outstanding player of the contest was Richard Hopkins, a member of our society, of whom we may be proud. Numerous other 'plays were presented at the club meetings. These were: The Kleptomaniacf' directed by Irene Nial, Ice on Parle Fran- cais, directed by Elizabeth Schneckg Apartments To Let, directed by Marie O'Brien, The Eligible Mr. Bangs, directed by Doris Harrison, The Maker of Dreams and The Rising of the Moon, directed by Olga Hannah. and Rehearsal, directed by Catherine Hayner. We thank Miss Gould for her interest in the Dramatic Society, and for the scenery designed by her and executed under her direction. Miss Allyn is responsible for the successful work that was accom- plished and it is with much appreciation that we thank her for her co- operation. -OLGA A.

In order to be admitted to the society all candidates were required to take part in a debate which was to be reviewed by Miss Allyn and the old members of the society, namely, Richard Hopkins, Joseph Flagler, and Wayne Denny. The topics given at the try-out included the following subjects: Resolved, that capital punishment should be abolished in the United States , Resolved, that Lansingburgh High School should adopt the one session plan g Resolved, that immigration should be further restricted. The following people were admitted to the society after the try-out: Helen Nial, Edward Cuerdon, Russell Madsen, Lancelot Johnson, John Vedder, Dorothy Whitwell, Francis Hogan, Gladys Bailey, Helen Milling- ton, Marie 0'Brien, James Phillip, Fred Stoll, and Elizabeth Lyman. The question Resolved, that the government should subsidize the merchant marine was selected and considerable work done upon it, but dropped as the arguments proved to be mainly on one side. At present work is being done upon the question Resolved, that chain stores are an asset to the United States. The affirmative is represented by Helen Nial, captain, Dorothy Whitwell, and Marie O'Brien, and the negative, John Vedder, captain, Russell Madsen, and Gladys Bailey. A brief has already been submitted by the affirmative and it is expected the debate will take place in the near future. -JOHN VEDDER -11. is 0111111 lfllll f6lI Cl1illii A W 6llI'4iiS Through Miss Shepherd's persistent efforts and constant encourage- ment, many of the girls in both the senior and junior classes have won awards in shorthand and typing. For their ability to type forty words a minute, the following senior girls have received silver pins: Doris Harrison, Irene Ecyleshymer, Mir- iam Gordinier, Catherine Hayner, Marie 0'Brien, Betty Saehrig, Ruth Schatzle, and Dorothy Wilde. Two girls in this class have made still fur- ther progress and are able to type fifty words a minute. For this accom- plishment, Lillian Seaman and Dorothea Connor were given gold pins. This is quite an achievement, considering the fact that the senior girls have had only one year of typing. Virginia Ostrander, a junior, was also awarded the gold pin for typing fifty and sixty words a minute. Junior girls who earned the silver pins are Grace Grogan, Alice Sherman, Margaret Mortensen, Helen Aldrich, and Helen Faraci. In addition to the awards mentioned, many of the senior girls have also received certificates of merit for sixty and eighty words a minute transcription tests. The Shorthand Gossip has become a permanent feature of the work of the commercial department. The editors for 1930-1931 have been: Seniors: Dorothy Wilde, Lillian Seamen, Helen Nial, Robert Boyd and Paul Morris, Juniors: Caroline Rohn, Jack Duffy, and John Stinson.

This year the club was divided into two groups, the dramatic, under the direction of Miss Patrick, and the athletic, under the supervision of Miss Ladd. On September 29 the annual hot dog roast was held at Gypsy Lane under the direction of Miss Gray, faculty advisor, and Olga Hannah. An International Banquet was held November 17, at the Y. W. C. A. The tables were attractively decorated with flags of the different countries. A very interesting entertainment pertaining to the different countries fol- lowed the banquet. Late in the year a very benehcial and inspiring dis- cussion on Personality under the direction of Dr. Andrus was held at Druid's Hall. On March 24, the club held a picnic at Nials' in Raymcr- town at which the girls had a very enjoyable time, dancing, singing and playing games. This year the annual Dippydrome, renamed The County Fair, was held at the Y. W. C. A., April 17 and 18. The annual Faculty Banquet was held at the Y. W. C. A. May 6. Su1'ely as we look back over the record we may be able to say that we have passed a very successful year due to the help of Miss Hamilton. the club advisor, the faculty advisors, the president, Olga Hannah, and by the cooperation of the girls. -ELLEN WILEY 81 - H debfsgvs-Fwves .es THE ODYSSEY 'h - ...q W v- L. . or Lf .sae - N ffwf- - Boys? llfllii,Y This has been the most successful year in the history of the Boys' Hi-Y.

This was an outstanding season. Lansingburgh had to win the league to get permanent possession of the Knickerbacker Trophy. With opponents like Troy, Waterford and Albany determined to win the league, the season was a thrilling one with Lansingburgh. upholding the characteristics of former teams, coming through in a blaze of glory to win the championship for the sixth consec- utive year. The season started with only five lettermen: Boyd, Marzello, Hansen, Marshall and Howe. The coach recruited a fine team adding to the lettermen Dee Fox, Dick Hopkins, Harold Cook, Holeman Platz, Glenn Engle, Mickey Horton and Tom Rafferty. Letters were awarded to Co-captains Boyd and Marzello, Hansen, Hopkins, Cook, Platz, Engle, Rafferty, Marshall, Howe. Fox, Horton, Kep- ner, Marks, Gallo, Baucus, and Manager Flagler.

Those retained were as follows: pitchers, Cunningham, Walsh, Morris, Daley and Mealey. The infield consisted of Burns, 1st base, Marshall and Rafferty, 2nd baseg Harold Cook, captain of the team, stood watch at shortstop, 3rd base was taken care of by Bass and Derrick. The outfield consisted of Howe, Lutz, Hansen, Crogan and Eaton. The catching problem was ably met by Mark Patten, who surprised everybody by doing some splendid work behind the plate. The first game of the season was with Country Day and we won with a 5 to 3 score. The next game, with the strong Albany Acadamy team- we lost by the score of 12 to 0. This was our first game lost. The game with Rensselaer we Won by the score of 4 to 1. The Waterford game was also in our favor, score 4 to 3. The Troy game promised to be a good one and we came out on top with a 2 to 0 victory. The first league game was to be with Watervliet, but on account of rain it was postponed. However, the game with Cohoes, also a league game, was won by the score of 14 to 2.

T The track season opened with the annual interclass meet which was won by the seniors, with plenty of competition. The seniors earned 581,43 points, the sophs were second with 3815 points, the juniors third with 14 points, and frosh scored 1015 points, which is above the average for the frosh. Coach Carr realized that he didn't have an Olympic team. but he Wasn't discouraged. He set to work to make a track team out of mostly raw material. He was quite successful. The first track meet took place May 2 with Albany Academy, who boasted a fine track team of many veterans. Lansingburgh, minus all of its veterans, gave the Academy boys a lot of competition, although we lost at a close score of 41 M3 to 57143. The second meet was with Watervliet. May 17th. The teams were pretty evenly matched, all events were undecided until the finish. Watervliet won with a score of 44-42, but the hurdles and pole vault events were omitted, and Lansingburgh had several stars for these events which might have meant victory for us. Cunningham, McDonough and Morris are showing up well in the high jump, hurdles and discus respectively. Lambert, Marzello, Wilcox and Hansen are expected to score consistently and Fonda and Joey Cuerdon are expected to place often in the mile.

At the first call in April, about twenty candidates for the team responded, including John Marks, the only re- maining letterman and captain of this year's team. From these aspirants, after a series of eliminations, Capt. Marks, Bill Burns, Mark Patten and Russ Madsen were chosen as the regular men, while Gerald Degener and Harold Howard remained as substitutes. Manager Holzhauer secured a schedule of twelve games for the team and has done much towards aid- ing it. As the weather was poor and there was no chance of any spring practice, except in the school gym, the team met defeat at the hands of Albany High School, a much superior team. However, we made a better showing against Schenectady High School, but were unable to defeat them. When warm and better weather arrives the team should have much better success.
