Halfmoon, Senior Issue, 1939 13 15 Halfmoon, Senior Issue, 1939 In spite of the discouraging weather Monday, the seniors appear- ed In their class day outfits. The maroon and white was a striking contrast of color and made the seniors quite prominent among the cor- ridor throngs. The girls wore white boleros and skirts with maroon blouses; and the boys donned the usual combination of white flannels and shirts with maroon accessories. The class day play was written by four upcoming'' play-wrights of the class of '39, namely, Frances Welch, Audrey Seitter,Betty Caughran and Esther Smith. It was their version of the Broadway hit- Hellzapop- ln . The play was a grand success!

We will give you the snorts in order starting with football. The team had a hectic season winning but one game, tying one, and losing four. Ben Selkis, Spike Whoelock, and John Wood carried the brute of the attack while Edmonds, Bruno, R03S, and several others performed nobly. The team loses several veterans as Selkis, V heelock, and Wood will pass out of the picture this year. The following are t'-'.e scores for the football games this year: K.K.S. OPP. G John3town 20 0 Philip Schuyler 28 0 Hudson Falls 13 6 Saratoga 7 7 Greenwich 7 7 Lansingburg 5 The Mechanicville Ki h School basketeers started out like a house a-fire winning five of the first six games, and then came the storm. Well, anyway, here are the results of games during the 1938-39 season: M.Ii.S. 26 Hoosic Falls OPP. 24 Draper 19 28 Hoosic Falls 14 15 Draper 24 29 Stillwater 21 22 Saratoga 21 18 Cohoes 25 20 Saratoga 28 20 Johnstown 22 11 Lansingburg 22 32 Stillwater 21 21 Watervliet 34 17 Lansi n burg 26 14 Cohoes 16 20 Watervliet 16 315 334 The Junior Varsity had an excellent year losing only three ames for the whole season those being Draper, Cohoes, and Lansingburg. John Serbalik led the Jayvees in scoring with a total of 72 points in four- teen games. High scoring honors for the year go to Jim Ryan,a first year var- sity player who scored a total of 50 points throughout the year. Fol- lowing is the individual scoring done by the Mochanicville team: r A Halfmoon, Senior Issue, 1C39 35 Rush!ns down right aisle, clothes askew, urging each other on, r0„f. T)ei and Audrey.

The victor is (go to graduation and find out). Yas, Yas, my friends. Peoples sure are hard to please. After just so much rig-a-marow, the ushers decided to wear powder blue, poca- dot dresses (this does not include the boys, thank heavens). Enough talk about modes of the moment. Now to carry on with some chatter about twilight twancing enjoyed at the Ball. All who went had a smooth time, and from what we hear about a certain jalopy. somebody else had some fun. It wasn't Dick, either. By the way, folksie woksies, all expenses were not cleared. So how about a little cooperation if you're asked to donate something to the cause. Everyone seems to have recovered from the Washington triD. Shrimp is as good as new and Sally has forgotten Bob , (or has she)?

Thus far the Tennis team can boast of the best record of any of this year's teams. To date they are undefeated having won seven while losing none. Keep your fingers crossed as there are three tough matches left, one with Lansingburg and two with Glens Falls. The positions are as follows: Bob Hayner in the 1 spot with Kalbaugh 2, Normon 3, Overocker and Nahow alternating at fourth and fifth. In the doubles, Hayner and Kalbaugh in 1 with Sage and Overocker in second position.

Halfmoon, Senior Issue, 1939 71 THINGS and STUFF—Continued 1939....a year we’d like to forget....but won't....certain people began to realize that columns are the places to get informat- on... .and were surprised....the Basketball team won a league game after five fruitless tries... .'Growing Pains turned out to be a smashing hit with Pender and Caughran going out in glory....insane jealousies almost ruin- ed t’-e tennis team, but failed.... the fleets'ball team should have stood in bed....and DeVoe got a taste of southern hospitality.... the tennis team won seven matches in a row...the school went Tennis crazy ...and that about brings us to the present. And so, now that we've scantily touched upon the past four years for you, we invite you to personally turn back the pages of time and recall the people and things we've missed, 'cause there's plenty of them...we do think this has been a good year generally for the school, though, and, altho' we could suggest some changes, we won't. THEREFORE, after such an elaborate beginning, we're going to go out as quietly as we have been going along for the past two years and bring you some fond, last, spicy, THINGS and STU P........ Bill Gale, up at Saratoga, didn't like the inference that we got the short end of the deal up thar in Tennis or Track...like most gales, we suspect there was just a lot of wind...the recent clampdown in gen- eral discipline was the ultimate result of an amazing and just as gener- al letdown earlier in the year....We saw it coning....a little bit of crystal mazing seems to indicate a wild year next year In just about every line of activity...yes sir, '40 will be 3ome class, wait 'n see ....Mucci appears to be a real promising olf prospect and hopes to make it his life work...veil, vy not?...and, so, with surprising sudden- ness, comes the time to say for the last time, FLUB-DUE............(exit Hayncr) ,H.S. SPORTS--Continued OPP. b La Salle 7 Nott Terrace 8 7 Ilont Pleasant 8 7 Troy 5 9 Vocational 5 h The Track team has an average of 500 o to date, winninr: from Wa- tervlict and Waterford while losing to Lansingburg and Saratoga. Mike Izzo has been a consistent winner in the 100 yard dash as Dyer has boen in the half mile. This concludes our view of the sports results for the 1938-39 sea- sons, so have a pleasant summer vacation and don't do anything that we wouldn't do.___________________________________ Men? bfY Y€WR [Rail.
