To succeed in our ever-changing world, We must be able to change with it. We must take advantage of any opportunity to de- velop all traits of character, become proficient in a Wide variety of skills, and prepare our minds for our up-coming role as adults. High school provides the basis for our lives, and therefore it must provide the means for a thorough development of each individual men- tally, physically and socially. Maple Hill High School has done much to make versatility an outstanding characteristic of its students. The scope of the curriculum is continually being widened. Organizations and activities are strongly supported and in- creasing in number, providing an opportunity for all students to expand their interests. Class- room programs are planned to stimulate a de- sire to learn in each student. Our school is dedicated to make us better prepared to face the World as Well-rounded individuals ready to meet and accept challenge. Maple Hill is a place where the students, diversified backgrounds create a basis or eacli individual to develop mentally physically, and socially. Social growth indicates maturity h Faculty stzmulates student zrzterest. TABLE OF CONTENTS FOREWORD. .. ....2 MEMORIAL ...... .... 4 STUDENT LIFE .... ....

Perhaps the gymnasium is the one facility most easily and fre- quently transformed. It becomes, in seconds, two sections for the use of boys, and girls, gym classes. The gym vibrates with the excite- ment and suspense at basketball games and wrestling matches. lt serves as an auditorium for school assemblies, concerts and the senior play, and it can become an elegant setting for formal dances, where soft music, dim lights, and a regal atmosphere prevail. The cafeteria serves diverse functions also. Not only is it the lunch room, full of the gaiety of students, but it also doubles as a study hall, filled with pupils dili- gently preparing for their coming classes. For an instant at mid-day the cafeteria is desolate except for the kitchen help preparing for the rush of study hall students. Although the entire school plant is versatile, the halls show the ex- tremity of moods. Between classes, teen-agers pack the halls passing to and from classes. The chatter of these bustling students rings throughout the school. As the last bus leaves at 4:20, however, the halls are deserted. Bursting through the student en- trance, the departing pupils en- counter all types of climate, rang- ing from mild, fire-drill weather to spring showers and winter bliz- zards. No two days are identical in the students' lives due to the chang- ing backdrop of the school itself. MMT. rs N A 4 'if N. ., , 5 , L f 1 5515437 - X H S .S , fe! K' K X +1 .ml ,,.,M. 'ANL vi- ACADEMICS RE CURE GF STUDY School life at Maple Hill is centered upon the academic subjects. The basis for each studentls individuality, the faculty be- lieves, is the knowledge of literature, foreign languages, science, mathematics, and social studies. Through the knowledge acquired from a wide range of liberal arts courses, students learn to analyze, question, and discover for themselves those qualities which are important to their civilization. lt is an understanding of qualities which helps to determine and develop the future personality of each student. With this sturdy foundation, students can become aware of the world awaiting them, and pre- pare themselves for any higher education they might wish to pursue. sn W 9 VARIOUS SKILL FURTHER DE T PROFICIENCY Students can forfeit the pen and paper of academic courses to become proficient in both athletic and manual skills. Courses such as art, home-making, music, indus- trial art, and physical education offer students an outlet for maturing interests. Both the practical arts and the fine arts enrich the students' lives and aid them in broad- ening their horizons. While learning to closely associate with others, students mature both mentally and physic- ally. By participating in such a diverse program, each student at Maple Hill becomes more versatile and, there- fore, better equipped to face the years ahead. gui' JAH! A Grand March climaxed the evening as onlookers prepared to follow Gwenls lead. From a sidewalk cafe, couples watched dancers. Gwennola Huestis, Queen, and Lee Brownell, King, are surrounded by their court. From left to right are George Ennisg Cari Sullivan, crownbearerg Charles Tossoneg Patricia Loikg Harriet Galligan, 1962 Queeng Jay Pauly Sherolyn Strohmaierg Constance Rutkoskig Grant Ohlman, crownbearerg Larry Baker. Between dances, conversation and refreshments provided entertaimnent. After several months of much planning and actual constructing, and two hectic days of intense decorating, the Class of 1964 proved that the gymnasium could he transformed into an elegant setting for ulivening in Paris, the Senior Ball presented on June 22, 1963. The French motif was heightened by sidewalk cafes complete with wine bottles, checkered tablecloths, and awningsg an open-air art galleryg waitresses in can-can outfitsg and a throne set in a French park in the shadow of the Arch of Triumph. Twenty thousand feet of crepe-paper streamers radiated from the apex of a twenty foot replica of the Eiffel Tower in the center of the floor, highlighting the decor of the evening. Versatility of the students was possibly never more evident than on this day. Perhaps more noticeable than the transformation of the gym Was the metamorphosis of the students themselves. Members of the Class of 1964 who in the afternoon were dressed in blue jeans, wore pony tails and were covered with paint and dirt Were, by evening, ladies and gentlemen in evening dresses and dinner jackets. The success of the evening was illustrated by the favorable comments of those participating and the festive mood prevailing, both on the dance floor and in the surrounding French cafes. Pushing aside red, white, and pink streamers as they entered, prom-goers viewed Paris in miniature. Parisian music set the mood for couples dancing near the Eiffel Tower. I3 THE KELETGN WALK The entire cast poses for the final curtain call. Mrs. Hubbard serves tea containing ground glass. Children say bedtime prayers. From beneat Laughter and applause dis- played by the audience proved The Skeleton Walks an immediate success. Audi- ence response never slack- enedg the actors held the at- tention from the opening scene until the curtain call. Husky Tom Weijola as old Mrs. Hubbard and Diane Rogers as deaf and dumb Ollie Hubbard, were show- stoppers as was easy-going Bob Shufelt in his portrayal of the suave villain, Dr. Fer- sig, who had a sizeable col- lection of skeletons. Even the breakage of the cable carry- ing the bat across the stage, so that the bat stopped for five minutes mid-stage dur- ing Act Two, only added to the gaiety of the opening performance. The mystery-comedy pre- sented by the Senior Class, was performed on Novem- ber 21, 1963, and followed by a repeat performance on January 3, 1964. The mem- bers of the class worked well together in presenting the play. Class advisers, Miss Margaret Ward and Mr. George Koerner, directed the play, and various members of the class were responsible for make-up, properties, lighting, tickets, prompting, and advertising. Though the success of the play was most evidently attributed to the actors themselves, the versa- tility of the entire class helped to promote the play's final success. l Nibbs, the dog ...,,, CAST Dr. Harold Fersig .,,... ,...,.

In basketball, agility anal good sportsmanship are essential. Versatility is most outstanding in the lives of students at Maple Hill who participate in a wide variety of extracurricular activities. The aim of these organizations is to enable each student to expand his interests, to develop both physically and mentally, and to meet with a group sharing his own interests in a relaxed, unpressured fellowship of students. Maple Hill's organizations are numerous and varied. Certain of them, such as Debate Club or the International Club. prepare the individual to be a better citizen, Well informed about both past and present. Members of Student Council learn principles of government, as well as serving the school in many capacitiesg Debate Club provides a means of developing poise and perfecting speech styles. In F.T.A., members are able to Work closely with teachers, performing many of the duties re- quired in the teaching profession. Literary talents are developed in the staff members of Carillon, while students working with the yearbook become proficient in techniques of editing, journalism, pho- tography and finance. Musical talent is recognized in Band and Glee Club, as is academic competence acknowledged by Honor Society. The type of sports offered at MHHS are diversi- fied to appeal to all interested students. For boys, there is a great variety of interscholastic sports available. Varsity teams represent the school in soccer, wrestling, basketball, baseball, golf. bowling and cross-country. Also available are a wide variety of intramural sports for boys and girls in grades 7-12. For the exceptionally agile girls, cheerleading provides an outlet for their energy. Through such a wide selection of activities avail- able, each student in Maple Hill is enabled to par- ticipate in some activity well suited to his character and to expand his interests. Band fosters refinement of musical talents. All Wildcat typing is checked by both Paul Bristo, editor-in-chief, and Carol Miller, head typist. ,lim Gerding, yearbook publisher's representative, drops in to assist editors with a technical problem. WILDCAT I VGLVE Versatility epitomizes those students in- volved With advertising and financing the yearbook. To sell ads, the main source of income, some student salesmen meet with area businessmen, while others correspond to arrange sales. Within the school, rigor- ous subscription campaigns stimulate stu- dents to purchase their Wildcals. Since the success of the production of the yearbook depends not only on sufficient funds, but on the ability to keep records accurately, staff members working with the financing must be also able to Work well with matters dealing with money.

Some yearbook schemes presented at after-school staff meetings are more humorous than practical. M LTIPLE TALE T Encouraging the staff, taking pictures, writing copy, contacting typists, creating new lay-outs, and meeting the final deadline are all part of the headaches and joys of the editorial staff. The time and effort expended on each minute and seemingly unimportant detail is un- believableg while the rest of the school is completely dark, there is always the familiar light in Mr. Singer's room. The process of creating a yearbook is long and involved, and the co-ordination of the entire staff to pro- duce the '64 Wildcat must be carefully supervised and controlled by its editors. However, all the energy and Worry put into the book are well worth the effort as the exciting and suspenseful day arrives for the distribu- tion of the new yearbooks. This year the editorial staff introduced duotone pic- tures in the yearbook and designed its own cover. The theme of versatility was carried throughout the Wildcat by means of frequent copy and related cartoons.

One of the outstanding examples of extracurricu- lar versatility is that of Debate Clulfs programming. At weekly meetings, members met in formal and in- formal discussion groups as well as in debates, to learn of the major issues of the year. Debates were both serious and light, ranging from topics such as Wlqhe School Prayer Should Be Abolishedw to 'glfskimoes Should Own Fur-lined Bathtubsfi To highlight the year, the club, in conjunction with a senior history class, planned and presented an as- sembly debate for the student body. Although the history class emerged victorious, a great deal of interest was generated within the clubg membership increased and a schedule of debates between other classes and organizations was formed. At weekly meetings, debaters offer new topics enthusiastically. In preparation for an issue of Carillon, Mr. Frankonis approves copy. CARILLO DISPLAYS T DE T WRITI G This year the staff of Lit-Bits went through an agonizing search for a new name for the school magazine. The search was suc- cessful and Lits-Bits was changed to Carillon. With the new name. and the help of Mr. William Frank- onis, adviser, Lesley Leonard and her staff attempted to find suitable material for the Carillon. When finally compiled, the Carillon proved to he a worthwhile project using contributions from students who have a flair for writing.

COUNCIL PO SORS UMEROUS Versatility is the main characteristic of Student Council at Maple Hill. Encompassing all aspects of student activity, the Council is dedicated to helping new clubs, underwriting the cost of programs in other activitiesg and to teaching responsibility and leadership to its elected representatives. Under the guidance of the adviser, lVIr. Cross, and the presi- dent, Pat Glover, the Council members put forth a great deal of effort in such projects as the Bundle Days and March of Dimes Campaigns, which were successful and the construction of a new cross-country course. Planning and decorating for the Sno-Ball took much of the members' time and effort. The Hallo- ween Canteen was also a Student Council project, and a new addition was made to this year's agenda-a Leap-Year Girl-Aslo Boy Spring Dance, which proved to be both unique and suc- cessful. Whether concerned with extracurricular activities or charitable projects, the Student Council provides a show place for Maple Hill's versatile students. An exchange of opinions is possible at Student Council meetings. STANDING: Julie Hymen, Secretaryg Mr. Robert Cross, Adviserg Paul Puccio, Vice President. SEATED: Pat Glover, President.

ACTIVITIES 'TWAS THE NIGHT BEFORE CHRISTMAS M'Twas the Night Before Christmasi' was the theme of Student Councilis third annual Sno-Ball on December 20, 1963. Decorations were begun a week in advance with the stringing of popcorn and were continued until two hours before the dance. The huge tree in the center of the gym- nasiumilooked stately and serene that evening, but the Council members knew that it had been anything but serene that morning when trying to build a strong support for it and to decorate its top. The effort, however, was well spent because everyone seemed to have a wonderful time, and the evening passed quickly until the evening's highlight, the crowning ofthe new king and queen. At the Student Council Sno-Ball, the festive mood of the holidays is evident.

SCHOOL HO OR STUDE TS Character, scholarship, leader- ship, and service are the cardinal principles by which the faculty chooses members for National Honor Society. While it is a so- ciety of praise-worthy students who have already attained out- standing levels of achievement, it is the duty and goal of each mem- ber to continue to strive for greater achievement in each of the four areas. It is not only an honor society, but also a service organi- zation. Tutoring other students in May and June before final exams is one of the most benefiting serv- ices for both members of the NHS and their fellow studentsg a new addition to this year's program was helping the ninth grade work on their Occupational Unit. Elected to the National Honor Society this year were Jill Butts, Linda Chapman. Daun Drowne, Lucille Honig, and James lVlorgan. Members relax at frequent luncheon meetings. 5 , Sixth graders receive a spelling test At bi-monthly luncheon meetings, future teachers discuss teaching experiences from Sue Peter, F.T.A. member. STUDE TS HELP TEACHER Under the supervision of their new adviser, Mrs. Vivian Ingalls, the Future Teachers of America initiated many ideas. F.T.A. mem- bers helped teachers, and learned about the teaching profession. This year these students helped with the uBack to School program for parents, as well as correcting tests, teaching classes, and duplic- ating class materials for their sponsoring teachers. At the end of the year, there was a tea for all the F.T.A. mem- bers and for the teachers who had Worked with them.

Corresponding with pen pals, hearing speakers from foreign Countries, and par- ticipating in the Great Decisions program have been the highlights of the Interna- tional Clulfs schedule this year. The mem- bers of this newly-formed club are cur- rently corresponding with students from Brazil and Alaska. The opinions expressed in these letters will help the members to understand more fully the relationship be- tween the United States and other countries. Also, the guest speakers, including a high school exchange student from the Union of South Africa, spoke about this interna- tional relationship. The Great Decisions Program has greatly intensified the mem- bers, understanding of current events. The program was a series of eight informal dis- cussions on subjects important in the future of the world such as disarmament, Cuba, foreign aid and Communism. The vigor of this new club, sponsored by Mr. Melvyn Horowitz, helps to expand the perspective of Maple Hillis students.

Visions of victory soon faded as the Wildcats he- came the cellar-tenders of the league. Due to the efficiency of the defensive players, however, Maple Hill's record was one of narrow defeats. Numerous injuries led to continual changes in the front line. Although winning no games, the Wildcats still retained their team spirit which was fostered by the enthusiasm of the cheer- leaders, and resulted in the largest spectator crowds in Maple Hill soccer history.

STUDE TS VIE POR BOWLI G HO OR Student bowlers at Maple Hill turned to the alleys at Bowling Green in East Greenbush each Thursday to compete against each other for weekly honors. Averages are computed for each bowler, and recognition is given to those stu- dents with high triple and high singles. After four weeks of open bowl- ing the top ten bowlers are selected to form the Varsity Bowling team. These bowlers represent Maple Hill in a series of matches with nearby schools. The Central Hudson Val- ley League rules govern the play at these matches. One point is awarded for each game won and one point for the highest number of pins for the match. The league winner is the team which ac- cumulates the greatest number of points throughout the season. M.H.H.S.

While starting the season with spectacular victories over New Lebanon and Coxackie-Athens, the team outlook soon dimmed as we faced the top two teams of the league, and lost both games. Although con- cluding the season with a losing record, the boys shaped up into a well-balanced team. Lack of height, as well as lack of a real scoring threat, however, proved to be a handicap when the Wildcats faced taller, more experienced teams. The Wildcats made up for it, however, with the good spirit, hustle, and the fine sportsmanship that has always been characteristic of Maple Hill.

This score gains real sig- nificance when it is realized that the Wildcats held half their matches against Class A schools.

TRI MPHANT IN 1963 Finishing the season with a 6-4 win-loss record, the Wildcat nine showed great potential and displayed a great will to Win in their 1963 season. An opening defeat suffered at the hands of Waterford sparked the Maple Hill Wildcats to a string of four straight wins, including a 13-3 come-back over Waterford. ln spite of the loss of outgoing seniors, the team showed true co- operation and versatility. This diversity was shown by the ability of the players to play multiple positionsg three out of the starting nine were pitchers, and the infield and outfield were interchangeable. Vincent Valenti's outstanding performance both behind and beside the plate earned him abatting average of .464 and the Most Valuable Player award for the 1963 season. Through a united team effort. the Wildcats emerged with a victorious season. After hitting a homer, Valenti drives to the plate. Tossone recovers from a steal.

Maple Hillis five golfers ended their 1963 season victoriously. Under the supervision of Mr. Warren Davis, the golfers teed off at Cordial Greens Country Club early in the season. Bad weather slowed the growth of the new course, and forced the team to use Totem Lodge at West Sand Lake as their home course. Challenging nearby schools such as Averill Park, Catskill, Chatham and Co- lumbia, the team lost only two matches. The power and deter- mination of the entire team backed the superior driving ability of Dave Collins, for which he was awarded the Most Valuable Golfer award for the '63 season. 4 ASSGCIATIO t PO ORS ALL SPGRTS Designed for promoting interscholastic sports activities. the pltlilcric r1lss0c1'aI1'or1 is responsible for all major sports events in which Maple Hill participates.

CHEERLEADERS SET PACE EOR Cheerleaders spur J.V.'s to victory. 4:61 Supplementing the boys, participation in sports, the cheerleaders are a necessary part of the basketball season. While promoting school spirit, the girls' duty is to keep up the standards of good sportsmanship and to encourage school support in a constructive manner. While there is a great deal of work, time, and effort in- volved, the rewards are great not only in the fun of cheering, hut also in meeting cheerlead- ers from other schools and exchanging opinions and ideas with them. Tryouts were especially early this year so the new squad could cheer for our soccer team. Although it meant a stepped-up practice sched- ule, the girls were delighted, and it created a greater interest in soccer and a more enthus- iastic beginning for the sports season. 44 Between periods, cheerleaders stimulate school spirit.

An extensive intramural sports program fills the extra- curricular life of many girls at Maple Hill. Under the direction of Miss Mary Earl, the program is designed to stimulate interest in all phases of athletics. Girls meet weekly to play field hockey, soccer, volleyball, basketball, or softball. In addition to such formalized sports, the girls make use of various apparatus, such as the traveling rings, spring board, ropes, flying rings, vaulting box, parallel bars and the trampoline. -These apparatus aid in the development of agility, balance, co-ordination and grace. The training gained in these sessions helps the participants to further develop the skills employed in regular gym classes. Through playdays, girls engage in interscholastic competition with various local schools. Good sportsmanship is the guiding principle of these playdays, as each girl endeavors to elevate the reputation of her school. y 1.,..,,..., .Q up K ...aiu ' Opponents face off for a bulley.

Class unity, however, is stronger than academic similarity suggestsg ideas and contributions of an en- tire class are brought to the student government by Student Council representatives. Working as classes, students sponsor canteens. Juniors sponsor the Senior Ball, and sen- iors sponsor the Senior Play. Each student, as part of a class, hopes in the spirit of gentle rivalry to gain greater recognition for his class. Preparations for graduation culm irzale six years of life at Maple Hill.

OUR SE IOR YEAR Our senior year exemplifies versatility, it has brought both great happiness and tragedy into our lives. Some of the year's events, because of their enormity, have become historyg other events are significant only to us, members of Maple Hill High School. The assassination of President Kennedy, who was a symbol of peace and symbol of America, was the most shocking and significant happening of the year. Jacque- line Kennedyis fortitude inspired the nation as kings, queens, dictators. emperors and presidents came to mourn our fallen leader, and they left with renewed hope of world peace. Lyndon B. Johnson offers continuity and action as the New Frontier continues. The Tlzreslzer, a new atomic submarine, sank near Cape Cod with a loss of 124 men aboard. This was the year Gordon Cooper made 22 orbits around the earth in a space capsule. and the year that Madame Nhu, bitter-tongued first lady of Viet Nam. visited the U.S.A. Castro's infiltration into Panama and Zanzibar reached the newspapers in a space of two days. and the Cyprus dispute threatened to create a major world conflict. The Berlin wall opened for the Christmas holidays and Khrushchev remained the greatest enigma facing the Western World. During our senior year the New York World's Fair opened and the Fischer quintuplets were born. It was a year of religious reawakening. The Ecumenical Coun- cil continued, and Catholicism is itself on a period of transition. The March to Washingtoii stressed the Negro's fight for civil rights, and Martin Luther King became Time magazineis Man of the Year. Cigarette smoking, social problems and school prayers were major topics of dis- cussion. The Yankees suffered major defeat as the Dodgers beat them four games running in the World Series. Roger Staubuch, Navy quarterback, made headlines as did the death of Gorgeous George, blond wrestler. Folk singers led by Peter, Paul, and Mary, The Smothers Brothers, and The Brothers Four. The Kings- ton Trio, and The Chad Mitchell trio brought the Hootenanny to Teen-agers. Britains top idols, The Beatles, created a sensation similar to that of Elvis, first appearances.

They have, during the year, changed from junior high students, with undefined educational goals, to senior high school students majoring in business, college en- trance or general courses. Through the guidance of their advisers, Mr. Robert Cross, Mr. Gerald Hill, and lVlr. Melvyn Horowitz, not only have they become more aware of the important role of education in their future, but they have entered many extracurricular activities open only to high school students.

To teach modern languages, leachers use the lalest techniques and equipment. FACULTY and ADMINI TRATIO The student and teacher are the components of education. Books, laboratories, equipment and modern facilities are determining factors that help to improve the standard of education. However, the most vital factor in motivating and inspiring the student to learn is the teacher. The faculty at Maple Hill is very capable. The members are well trained and interested in rendering service to the students. Faculty mem- bers, individually and as a group, are interest- ed inthe welfare of the students. Maple Hill has a faculty which has placed much emphasis on its own development. A school program involving in-service education and publication is underway, and teachers are continually acquiring new degrees and further- ing their own education for the betterment of themselves, the students, and the school. Qual- ity is the key word in faculty recruitment at Maple Hill. By means of individual attention, teachers demonstrate many Through in servzce education teachers learn of the changing' world of science. 7I ADMI ISTRATI EDUTIES Mr. Davis takes time from his busy schedule for counseling. As Chief School Administrator, Mr. Davis plans and carries out the supervisory procedures which aid in the attainment of the goals of elementary and secondary edu'- cation. Working Well into the sum- mer months, he compiles state re- ports concerning such administra- tive duties as attendance, finances, and cafeteria expenditures. The position of the Supervising Principal of the Schodack Central School District is one demanding great versatility. Mr. Larry Davis, Chief School Administrator, acts as planner, advisor, mediator and friend to both student and faculty, no problem or misunderstanding is too minute for Mr. Davis, careful consideration. It is he who maintains the friendly but orderly spirit prevailing at Maple Hill High. Serving as a direct representative of both faculty and student body, he attends all Board of Education meetings, bringing forth any changes of school policy benefi- cial to the welfare of the school system. Mr. Davis takes an avid interest in the Naval Reserve program. Holding nearly all local offices at one time during his participation, he is now Commander of the Naval Reserve Officer's School at Albany and spends one night a Week training others in the principles for which the Navy stands. Maple Hill is fortunate to have a man as capable and diversified as Larry Davis to direct the functioning of our school district.

Rlchard Everhart, fCuidance Counselorj B A WIA., Syracuse University The Guidance Department is also responsible for planning and co-or- dinating teacher schedules and setting up a master schedule encompassing all the courses of the school. With the co- operation of the chairmen of the vari- ous departments, guidance counselors also introduce new courses and insti- tute various changes beneficial to the educational system in those courses of the curriculum already existent. 'al canit decide what I want to be is a familiar cry heard by Mr. Richard Everhart and lVlr. Gerald Friends, Maple Hill Guidance Counselors. Mr. Everhart, senior high school counselor, and Mr. Friends, junior high counselor, are always glad to discuss individual problems with students and to help students understand more about themselves. They encourage each student to engage in life-long planning and they counsel them on how to best achieve their individual goals. Maple Hill offers each student a wide variety of subjects. Throughout the year, both Mr. Everhart and Mr, Friends are busy scheduling students for their coming semesters' courses. They meet individ- ually with each student to discuss, plan, and select the subjects best-suited for the studentis vocational goals and abilities. These men, knowing the true capabilities of the pupils, urge them to work to their fullest capacities. With their guidance, students fill out applications for employment and entrance into colleges. Mr. Everhart accompanies students to various near-by colleges for interviews, he administers the State Regents Scholarship Exam and he informs the college entrance students of any appropriate loans and scholarships available.

Under Mr. Donald lYutter's supervision, the depart- ment trains the students for active citizenship in the com- munity, nation, and the world. Classes acquaint students with the economic situation ofthe world. To increase student interest, trips are taken to Fort Ticon- deroga and Cooperstown.

Under the supervision of Mr. Richard Bamberger, the teachers of the English department recognize the individuality of each student, so that they might better aid in the development of each student's 'specific talents. This recognition is accomplished through expository writing, interpretive reading and extensive analysis of literature, as well as detailed studies of the magazines, newspapers, and the other mass media of communica- tions. As a progressive department and the largest in the school, it continually offers new. courses and experi- ments with new concepts of education. Recently ini- tiated have been courses in speech and drama, reading, and a college-level seminar program for college-entrance seniors.

SCIENCE EXPLORES PHYSICAL WORLD Junior high students listen attentively as Mr. Douglas explains the functions of the organs of a fish. The science department, headed by Mr. Reuben Warrell, tries not only to interest students in the various fields of science, but also to help students understand the world in which we live. Excellent laboratory equipment and personal supervision are always available in order to enrich the leaming experience of the more interested students. The department has grown in materials as well as facilities. Biology students are able to dissect fetal pigs, and chemistry students have access to one of the largest supplies of chemicals and laboratory equipment in the Capital District. This growth has been the result of the increasing importance of sci- ence in our society. William Douglas B.S.: State U. of N.Y. at Plattsburg.

A wide variety of college preparatory courses are offered for the academic students. Various levels of algebra, geometry, and trigonometry are available to these students, as well as a course in modern math, which was begun this year. It is the goal of the math department to enable each student to grasp the theories and principles of math. Elmer Henninger Eleanor Tanner B.A.: State U. of N. Y. B.S.: State U. of N.

The faculty, headed by Mrs. Vivian Ingalls, designs its classes to give the students the knowledge required for the business world, while providing the experience necessary for future positions through co-operative training and efficient usage of all types of office ma- chinery. A thorough knowledge of commerce is ob- tained from courses such as business law, business arithmetic, bookkeeping, secretarial practice, and sales and management, which was introduced this year.

When not administering aid to those students ill or injured, she is busy checking heights and weights, vision, and hearing. She aids the school doctor when he gives varsity athletes physical examinations. The librarian helps students select books that will be of interest to them. She is also very helpful in aiding students who need special books, pamphlets, and magazines for research work. The librarian, with the assistance of the library aids, keeps the shelves well-stocked, and order and pre- pares new books for circulation. ART Warren Davis B.S.: N.Y.S.

PERSONNEL AID I KEEPI The services of the personnel staff are necessary in the daily functioning of the school. Members of the staff include secretaries, bus drivers, custodians, the cafeteria staff, the dietician, the superintendent of buildings, and the superintendent of transportation. A Well-balanced diet is necessary for proper growth. Under the careful planning of Mrs. Winters, the dietician, the cafeteria staff provides both students and faculty with nourishing meals. Among the services that the secretaries render are checking accounts, typing the daily bulletin, and making important announcements. They also assist the guidance counselor and the prin- cipal. Providing students with transporta- tion is the service of the bus drivers. Besides driving students to and from Marlene Bleadow school, they are always willing to drive Accmmls Clerk buses for interscholastic sports activ- ities and field trips. Working twelve months each year, the custodians are helpful in preserv- ing the school and its facilities. They ensure the neatness and order of the school and help to prepare the school for any special programs, such as con- certs and assemblies.

By working in the cafeteria, students are able to earn money. At basketball games, the aroma of pizza induces students to visit the refreshment stand. There are many opportunities for the students in Maple Hill to become familiar with various phases of adver- tising and financing. Certain students are able to work at the cash register of the cafeteria or to be employed at the school store. Others Work to publicize school functions such as dances, bas- ketball games, and canteens. Members of Student Council organize the pur- chasing of refreshments and help to sell them at these functions, and class members sell tickets at canteens. The budgets of each class and of each extra- curricular activity are carefully or- ganized by their respective treasurers. Business staff members of the Wildcat not only set up a budget, but advertise and promote the sale of ads and the sale of the annuals.
