IN MEMORY OF MRS. MARY BAK:-.R Assoclai-ea wltn BiaJteman Llorary for lb yeare Beiovea Dy all tne atuaents of Mecnanicvllle Hlgn Scnool Halfmoon Yearbook, 1942 5 L ight score and six years ago our fathers brought forth on this continent a new na- tion, conceived In liberty, and dedicated to the proposition that all men are created equal. Nov; we are engaged In a great World War, test- ing whether that nation,or any nation so conceived and so dedicated, can long endure. Our boys are met on a great battlefield of that war. Thus, we feel it altogether fitting and proper to dedicate our senior Issue in their hon- or. But, In a larger sense we do not feel we can dedicate or give enough, for this great cause. The world will little note or long remember what we %say here, but they can never forget what they are doing. It Is for us, the youth of the nation, to be dedicated to the unfinished work which they who are fighting have thus so far nobly advanced. It is rather for us to be dedicated to the great task remaining before us; that from our honored soldiers we take increased devotion to the cause for which they are giving their last full measure of devo- tion; that we here highly resolve that these men shall not have fought in vain; that this nation, under God, shall have a new birth of freedom; and, that a government of the people, for the people, and by the people shall not perish from the earth.

From the outset, the class of '42 knew that chances for the trip were slim. After but slight opposition, the group brought order out of chaos, and formed a club. We knew that at the last minute plans for the trip might have to be cancelled. We were willing to take the chance. Of course, all of this was be- fore the Pearl Harbor episode. After December the seventh, a few murmurs of dissention began to be heard, and.one or two mem- bers dropped out—nothing to be alarmed at. How- ever, our club was still making plans for the trip. The tour conductor wrote and informed us that he had definitely procured rooms in Washington for our group. The situation began to look better. Then, weird and wonderful tales began to creep back from Washington. On good authority we heard that fair city was at a stand-still. The trip be- gan to appear in a different light. Our hotel was miles from the heart of the city, and transporta- tion of any kind was at a premium. And so, it went on and on—no decisive action was taken. We Just let matters drift along. Then Friday, February twentlethl The regular meeting had been called. After a lengthy, and somewhat heat- ed discussion we disbanded, with all ideas of a Wash- ington trip put aside. Twenty-five years ago our parents had to dis- band their Washington Club, because of World War I. So . .history, by a queer turn of fate, repeats it- self. . .Well, a toast to the third generation, and may they have better luck with their trip, than the two immediately preceding generations did. naifmoon YearDOOK, 1942 27 Halfmoon Yearbook, 1942 29 Che Arlstol, Senior Honor Society, was organized In the year 1926-1927, with a membership of six students. It was under the direction of Miss Ackart, the principal, and Mrs. Dorothy Barton, a teacher. The main objective of the society was then, as It is today, to promote higher scholastic standing and better leadership. In 1935 the constitution of the Arlstol was altered, In that the average of a student's marks required for admis- sion Into Arlstol was to be obtained by averaging class marks and Regents marks equally and dividing their sum by the number of units. This was done so that it would agree with the new stystem adopted by the school. Previously, the requirements for entrance Into Arlstol were twelve units and an average of 83, with the understand- ing that the average would be gradually increased until a more satisfactory one was obtained. This year the required average for the class of 1942 was 84. The colors of Arlstol are purple and gold. The advisors of Arlstol for the year '41-42 were Miss Goodrich and Miss Howe. The society met last fall and elected their officers for the ensuing year. They elected for President, Charles Horner; for Secretary-Treasurer, Jane Bochenek. Those who have maintained the required average since January are: From the class of 42: Adeline Amadeo Eugene Buccl Richard Fox Myrtle Ross Lois Scarey Ann Strattner From the class of 43: Marjorie Hayner Richard Hoover Frank P. Izzo Theresa Lavlgne John Muccl Duane Russell Hilda Smith William Tiel 30 Halfmoon Yearbook, 1942 pr he Junior Honor Society, which we know as S.O.S. orig- inated on December 15, 1927. S.O.S. has one main goal, this being to promote a high scholastic standing among members of the sophomore classes, so that upon becoming seniors, they will be eligible to mem- bership In Arlstoi, the senior honor society. On December 15, 1927, the S.O.S. boasted of six members under the leadership of Miss Ackart and Miss Howe. Purple and Silver were chosen as colors. After a formal initiation, it was decided all members might wear the standard S.O.S. pin; however, no pledge pins were given. As in all organiza- tions, S.O.S. too has a constitution which states that to be eligible for membership in this society, a pupil must main- tain an average of 80 , which is composed of 2 3 class aver- age and 1 3 Regents average. Time certainly has changed S.O.S., for today, member- ship numbers about twenty with approximately twenty-one on the list eligible for initiation. Officers of the society in '42 are: President............................ Joe Rosky Vice-President.......................Jean LaBnr Secretary ....................... Carolyn Kalbaugh Treasurer ................................... Duane Ingraham Last fall members enjoyed a banquet. Now, they are looking forward to the traditional spring initiating party to be held in the near future. We congratulate all members of this organization, and say to old members, Keep up the good work, so that upon graduating from S.O.S., you may become members of Aristoi . To new and future members we say, Live up to your ideals so that you may follow in the footsteps of former members and preserve this organization whose Ideals have made it one of the best of its kind.

Last year, a code committee composed of Council members drew up a code which was very fitting for our school. The year ran out before this code could really be put before the student body, although a copy was sent to every homeroom to be posted. It Is the hope of the Council of '42 that this code can be presented and put Into use before this school year ends. As the national emergency arose In this country,the Council began to plan for the defense of the students. As a result of this, the fire patrol came into being. This patrol consists of a boy from every room whose duties are to direct students and keep general order during air raid drills. The Council is preparing to organize a First Aid patrol to be com- posed of the students who have completed the First Aid course given in our school. This patrol will work hand In hand with the fire patrol. The Council has sold school stickers and sponsored several movie reels. The proceeds were used to build the Council fund and finance the Service Club awards. Wishing to do its part, the Council proposed the buying of War Stamps by the students in school. Thus,a system was worked out and now each Friday, students may buy as many Stamps as they want from their Council representatives. TE.NNI3 BOWLING The tennis team,under the con- fident guidance of Mr. Whit- beck, have started the season In May. The team is hoping to have a better average this year than they did In ‘41. That season they broke even in all the matches. The '42 team also hopes to play as many matches this season as prior- ities will permit. The same team that played last year will repre- sent MHS on the courts this season. The captain and manager of the team is George Carden. The team consists of Dick Hoover, Billy Tlel, George Hoover, Fred Hosley, and. Thomas Gorman. In comparison to last year's record, Coach Chandler's bowl- ing team made a slight im- provement. Last year's team won twelve games and lost fourteen. This year they made an even split, winning twelve and losing twelve. High triple honors go to Captain Fred Hosley. Fred also hit a three game high triple of 616. The high- est single game score was made by Bernle Jackson. Bernie rolled a blazing 227. Pretty good for a first year man. Fred Hosley has bowled for three years while the other members of the team have bowled for one and two years. Halfmoon Yearbook, 1942 e are all wondering how we can best serve in the Civil Defense Program of our community. “ After the attack on Pearl Harbor, the machin- ery of mobilisation was set into effect, end every community began registering men and women for homo defense projects. The Service Club of our school found Itself, without any wondering as to how it could best serve, in the midst of the local defense efforts. The Club was called upon to set up stencils for the registration cards, type out reports, make mimeographed and duplicated material for First Aid and other classes. They, also, assisted the County Nutrition Committee by making a survey of all res- taurants and organizations with cooking and serv- ing facilities in Mechanlcville. This was done in order to find out which ones would be willing to feed evacuees from nearby cities. Following this, came the request to assist in the delivery of the forms for sugar rationing and the making of neces- sary report blanks and forms. The Service Club did all this willingly. The Service Club is open to any High School student who is willing to work and serve. Here is your opportunity, Juniors and Sophomores, to serve your community, and indirectly your country. Grad- uation will take most of the members, and we are looking to you students to carry on the good work of the Club. Halfmoon YearDook, 1942 41 Halfmoon Yearbook, 1942 43 R,IBKlM¥ CSLSJB ' r“phe Library Club was organized In 1933 under JJ the guidance of the late Mrs. Mary M. Baker 4®- and consisted of seven members. The main ob- jective of the Library Club is to give students. Interested in this field, actual experience. Mem- bers are recommended for membership by their ninth grade English teachers. The students learn to shelve, mend, collate, paste, and type cards. They check books in and out and keep a bulletin board. The members of the Library Club miss so fine a friend and counsellor as Mrs. Mary M. Baker, but are now under the capable guidance of Miss May Kllwen. Officers are as follows: President.....................Anna Purtle Vice President................Mary Larkin Secretary..........Patricia Conley Treasurer.........Betty Richardson The club now has a membership of 54. They are planning to have their picnic sometime in May. T-r ast October, the Seco Club, under the direc- UJ tion of Miss Mead, attended a state-wide con- ventlon of the student clubs. There it was learned that this organization was one of the old- est in the country. The Seco Club took over the work of the Jun- ior Red Cross. Dresses were made and Bent. t9. E”f land. The girls also put on dinners for both the Board of Education and the Rotary Club. They hold their meetings seventh periods twice a month and have a membership of fifteen girls. The officers are: President................Patricia Conley Vice President......................Jane McEvoy Secretary-Treasurer............Hose Lupo Our Seco Club plans to have a larger share in civic and scholastic activities in the coming year. Halfmoon Yearbook, 1942 1941—1942 has been another successful year for the dramatic class. The season got under way by present- ing the play, See My Lawyer . Cortland Abbey supplied the comedy role with a fine bit of acting. He portrayed Robert Carlin, a Park Avenue nut1 . Duane was back again, giving his best, although in an entirely different role from that of last year's. They were backed by a cast whose acting greatly contributed to the success of the play. The proceeds were given to the Red Cross. February and March saw the dramatic class preparing for the Halfmoon Hysterics, which took place on March 20. The old tra- dition was maintained by an excellent per- formance. Dick Hoover and Rosemary Pender were a very competent Master and Mistress of Ceremony. Alumni Bob Hayner, Shrimp De Voe, Bob Buchdahl, Viola Bunce, and Lucy Fargnoli were back with us to present a clever skit written by Ed. Foley. Several other short sketches were pre- sented, backed by a chorus of some of our best songsters. The MKS Rockettes made their debut with a precision dance and were called back for an encore. All in all a large audience was very enthusiastic, and the evening was a huge success. Half moon Yearoootc, 1942 49 Halfmoon Yearbook, 1942 51 The G. A.

It seems as though stars are plentiful, but winning teams are almost nil. A very strange situation. We started off the football season at Johnstown. At half time the score was 0-0'. Wow'. We had a good team that half, but they weakened and the game ended 6-0. Johnstown's favor'. Although this game x ras a defeat, It was sort of a moral victory. In previous years, Johnstown defeated us 33-0 and 28-0. After this game the defeats came In quick succession. Scotia-19, MHS-14. A hlo and tuck battle with MHS pile driving through the middle of the line in the sec- ond quarter, with the same play eight times in succession for an eighty yard touchdown march. The other MHS touch- down came in the same quarter and in the same manner. A weakened backfield, however, could not keep up with the Scotia passing attack and all three of their touchdowns came from that department. Next defeat was Hudson-28, MHS- 0. Hot day—s'nuff said. We looked like a pretty good team the next game. We held the mighty Phillip Schuyler to 6-0 at the half. Everything was going fine 'till injuries In the line weakened the defense and the game ended 25-0. Next was Saratoga. SHS-7, MHS-61 Exciting game! Thrills, chills, and spills'. We scored first, they scored last and made the extra point. The Cohoes game was called off again because of bad weather. It was the last game of the Cohoes eleven and it was our last game also. There was no reason why a different date could not have been arranged but Coach Dodder said No . Perhaps he was over-awed by our impress- ive record. The members of this year's unlucky but game eleven were, John Colman, Nick Perrotta, George Marotta, and Donald Aldrich in the backfield, and Hawley Waldron, Joe Conroy, Bruce MacKinlay (Captain). Gene Donahue, Dick Hoo- ver, Val Gaida and Guy Coreno on the line. We hear that our captain, Bruce MacKinlay, expects to go to Union and play football there. Lots of luck, Bruce, we're sure you will make good. (continued on page 57) Halfmoon Yearbook, 1942 57 SPQUUTS IN I ext comes Basketball. The record was 12 lost and 4 won. It is Impossible to offer excuses for this in- glorious season. The boys Just didn't have what it takes. They fought gamely and hard, but there never was much question as to who should have won the games when the whistles blew. The four victories were over Burnthllls, twice, and once each over Waterford and Hoosick Falls. The two 3urnthlll's games were against an inferior team and easily won. The other games were close, hard fought, and exciting. Tommy Santa Barbara, was High Scorer for the sea- son with 199 points. The other members of the team were: Guy Coreno, George Marotta, John Coleman, Bill Tiel, Don Aldrich, Mike Pinchuk, Chris Sgambati, Nick Perrote, Jim Guiles, and Hawley Waldron. Our hats go off to Hawley Waldron this year as the Halfmoon's choice of the best all-around athlete of the year. This was Hawley'6 first year out for sports, and he made the first string in basketball and football. In bas- ketball, he was a good shot, good feeder, and a good guard. In football, he snagged in passes for many gains on an un- fortunate team. Last year's tennis, bowling, and golf team fared some- what better than the football and basketball teams. The tennis team won 5 matches and lost 3. The players were George Carden, Dick Hoover, Ted Hoover ( Jughead ), Fred Hosley, Bill Tiel, and Nick Perrotta. The Bowling team won 12 and lost 12. On the squad were Fred Hosley, Nick Sylvester, Joe DeBello, Ted Hoover, Bernard Jackson, and Bill ( Hap ; Connors. The Golf team wins were like the basketball team's. They won 3 and lost 14. The Squad consisted of Pete Spick- ler, Tom Gorman, Skip Ontkush, Salvadore Cuilla, and George Walko. That's all of the sports for this year, but next year let's have a better record. Let's see more boys out for the sports. Give Coach Weigle more to pick from. Get out on the court or field and give all you've got so that next year's Yearbook will be covered with MHS victories. 58 Halfmoon Yearbook, 1942 S TUST' tiollASiice ■ - Lucas.
