Student liuuiilzil For the tirst time in the history ot Mohawk Central School a Student Council was organized this year. The constitution and by-laws were written by Natalie Murphy and the otticers were then elected: President, Donald Robbg Vice-President, Leon Shedd, Secretary, Connie Smith. For a new group they have acquired some remarkable achievements. Through their efforts nearly eight thousand dollars worth ot war bonds and stamps were sold and two hundred books sent to the soldiers' camps. Also the problem of intra-mural letters was solved and a contribution was sent to Sherrill High. Due to the tact that this is their tirst year their knowledge ot what to do is still limited, but we know that in their second year we can look tor bigger and better things. if 5 if 7 OV M, QQNM ,Jw Q,'fTgfM wif W My i .ffyfjilfll I f EL!-155 IIFPIIIEHS PRESIDENT KENNETH HUBBARD lHubl Kenny's curly hair is swell, And as our president, he sure did well.

Since that time numerous strong and everlasting friendships have come into existence. After seven years of labor, we found ourselves graduating from Miss Grace Williams' sixth grade into the foreboding Grove Street High School. The greater part of our seventh grade was taken up in adjusting ourselves to the new routine of high school life. The first recognition gained by any member of our class was received by Peg Casey and Fred Iackson when they came through with flying colors in the annual 8th grade spelling contest. Our reign of terror started immediately upon entering Mr. Margison's Freshman room! The first achievement was our questionably wise selection of officers. President, Gordon Stafford, Vice-President, Tom Burney, Treasurer, Kenneth Lawton, Secretary, Catherine Cunningham. We there gained the intense hatred of the Seniors by selling very novel basketball pencils as a source of revenue. The reason for their dislike was that the Seniors in the superiority should have complete control of the financial undertakings of the school. The major accomplishment of the year was the Freshman Frolic held for the first time by any Freshman Class. We started our Sophomore Year under Mr. MacAllister. When the class club was organized, under the name of Prof's Sophs, the following officers were elected: President, Leon Shedd, Vice-President, Billy Lee, Secretary, Alice McVeigh, Treasurer, Betty Vrooman. One more achievement of the year was the Sophomore Soiree held at the Harmony Grange. It was with dismay that Miss Murray looked upon us at the beginning of our Iunior year. Needless to say, our fame f'?l had spread. At the close of the first ten weeks the following officers were elected: President, Leon Shedd, Secretary, Connie Smith, Vice-President, Bette Gleed, Treasurer, Art Bubb. We regret that we were the first class of many years to fail in giving the Seniors a prom. A good point of the year was our Class Play, Dulcy, which was a tremendous success. Our class met for the last year in the Senior room under the guidance of Miss Weeks. You Can't Take lt With You was presented by the Seniors this year and declared by Mr. Rankin as the best play ever produced since he has been here. The following officers were elected to carry us through our school life: President, Ken Hubbard, Vice-President, Art Bubb, Secretary, Dot Eberlein, Treasurer, Agnes Myers. This concludes the high points in our lives since entering Kindergarten. ln spite of numerous trials and tribulations, it is with no regret, whatsoever, that we look back upon our school career. -A' 21 ir Class Will WE, THE SENIOR CLASS of the Mohawk Central School of 1942, being of sound mind and memory, do make and declare ner following that is to say: Zygmunt Wiernicki leaves a large dose of his nice personality to Walt Bruska. You can't get by on just looks, Walt! Aggie Myers leaves her brother, john. Peggy Casey leaves her ability to have a good time and her little girl air to Carolyn Eysaman, who could stand quite a bit of each. Ruth Baldwin leaves her ability to go steady to Billy Brown who can never set his heart on one! The Senior class wishes to leave Leon Shedd to Ruth Bolton fno explanation necessaryl. Ruth Neuendorf leaves some of her height to Ieanette Fragale and Arleigh Francisco. Now you can all be happy. Isabelle Monroe leaves her ability to be seen and not heard to Rosemary Shedd who's usually both seen and heard. Harold Miller leaves his excuses for not having his assignments done to Mildred Phillips who really needs some new ones. Alice McVeigh leaves her grown-up air to lack Stitt who should really try using it. We won't leave anything to Shirley Pugh and George Davis because they seem quite content with what they've got. Marion Sturges leaves her ability to lose weight to Ona Staring who will be very glad to get such advice. To Risdon Brittain we leave a comb, and hope he takes the hint! Bette Gleed leaves her basketball tech- nique to Rita Cronin and Eleanor Dutcher who are going to need it to hold up the Senior record. Ella Rowland leaves to Ellen Wollaber a Webster's dictionary so she can cut out the baby talk. Ruth Watkins leaves her quiet ways to Iayne Daly who, at times, could certainly use a few. Connie Smith leaves some of her this our last WILL AND TESTAMENT in man- sparkle to Olive lean Stephenson and Mary Foglino. Don't use it sparingly, girls!!! Frances White leaves her ability in the culinary art to Clarence Williams and Ellen White who seem to like the kitchen very much. Leon Waterbury leaves some of his love for music to Iim Hammond who's coming along pretty good now! Walt Burrill leaves his car to lack Terpening so he can get to llion faster. Emma lean Barse leaves her favorite little book I-low to Keep From Fighting With Your Boy Friend to Charlie King who could certainly use such an article. Emma lean says it works wonderfully Cfor her anywayl. Sarah Neff leaves some of her talka- tiveness to jean Getman, Rosemarie Lamanna and Anne Woroby who are just a little too quiet. We leave Anne Vercz the title of the Ideal Farmerette. Phil Drury leaves his love of photog- raphy to Charles Rickard who's really got a very promising future in that field. Ieanne Martin leaves a few of her extra pounds to Edith Kaples who will appreci- ate them, We know. Edith Pett leaves her nice quiet place in Secretarial Practice to Marietta Schlotz- hauer and Mary Wacyk who will prob- ably soon be there to fill it. Dorothy Runyon leaves her artistic ability to Irving Davis who's got quite a nice start anyway. Dorothy Eberlein leaves her quiet, sweet nature to Millie Riggs and Rose Minosh who are sometimes just a bit noisy. Don Robb leaves his place on Student Council to Dick Mehring who, we know, will do a fine job. Rosemary Ward leaves her quietness to Betty Miller who is sadly in need of it at times. Q22 if Ernie Werner leaves his ability to write romantic essays to Ralph Patrick who is going to follow in Ernie's footsteps by be- ing a ladies' man. Art Bubb leaves a little of his height to Leonard Pett. Iune Mabbett leaves a little of her hustle-bustle to Eleanor Christenson who really needs some. Bet Vrooman leaves her place in the Grange to Fred Eberlein because he seems to like that sort of thing. Elma Zoller leaves her ability of apple polishing to Ierry Lynch who seems to need the technique in order to get along. Ioe Cirillo leaves his ability to take a joke to Mary Hassett who takes things entirely too seriously. Kennie Hubbard leaves his carefree air to Bertha Clarke who seems to carry the whole world on her shoulders. Iennie Volo leaves some of her excess energy to Harold Stone who needs just a little bit more. Fred Iackson leaves his ability to get along with everyone to Betty Watkins who seems to be having a little trouble. Bob Casey leaves his scientific ability to Bob Wainwright and We hope he makes as much use of it as Bobby did. Catherine Cunningham leaves her nice curly hair to Ken Lawton and Arnold Riggs who both will appreciate it im- mensely. Natalie Murphy leaves her athletic build to Delbert Thomes who's almost perfect now. To the Iunior Class we leave our place as Seniors and skeptically hope that they can fill it as well as we did. To the Sophomores and Freshmen we leave the Sth grade's ability to act grown up. To Miss Abdella We give all the thanks We possibly can for helping us in every way she is able. To Mr. Warren we leave a calendar so that he will know that no assignment should be given over the weekend. To Miss Murray we leave a pair of rose colored glasses so that she can see our good side as well as our bad. To Miss Everingham we leave cotton for both ears so she can have a little peace during typing classes. To Mr. Tefft we leave the hopes that he won't always have as many worries. To Miss Buell we leave a few assistants to help keep the magazines in order. To Mr. Beha We leave a brand new laboratory equipped with unbreakable test tubes. To Mr. Fisher we leave a nice comfort- able chair because with us gone he will have comparatively few worries. lN WITNESS WHEREOF, We have hereunto subscribed our names the twenty-fifth day of May in the year 1942. Witnesses: U. R. SUNK l. M. CRAZY '23 Signed M. T. HEAD ir Class Prophet: Peanuts, popcorn, crackerjack - a prize in each and every pack, calls out a tall, thin imitation of a man. Who is this creature who's selling these delect- able dainties on the train to New York? With a lurch of the train we find him in our laps and as he clumsily struggles to his feet our question is answered! It is none other than our two-term president, Leon Shedd. He recognizes us, says hello and runs up the aisle. Close be- hind him follows the conductor who seems very interested in the farmlands which we pass. As he stops to punch our tickets we see that it's Harold Miller, and bex cause the train is stopping we don't have a chance to talk to him. We looked out of the window and found ourselves in the depot of a very small village: A team of horses stands in front of the station and a familiar dark-haired girl is driving them. We note that it is our old friend, Rosemary Ward but she is too busy chatting with Edith Pett to notice us. With a jolt our train starts again and we continue our ride uninterrupted for four hours. Arriving at Grand Central Station we look for a redcap to carry our bags. Finally one appears and leads the way across the mammoth room. Part way across we notice a large group of men carrying great posters bearing the words Farmers Annual Convention. There's only one we recognize - it's Zygmunt Wiernicki and he's still got the curly hair and winning smile which made him so well-liked in high school. After a few quick Words he dashes away and we make our way to a brilliantly colored taxi. The driver looks familiar-Why, it's Ioe Cirillo! He seems quite glad to see us and chatters all the way to our hotel- the Waldorf! After we arrive and the bell boy takes our bags, We enter the elevator. A sandy haired girl is the operator and after sev- eral unsuccessful attempts to start we are on our Way. The girl turns around to apologize and we are face to face with Dot Runyon. Arriving safely on the third floor we hurry to our room. The chambermaid is just leaving and of all things it's Isabelle Monroe. She tells us that she is married and her husband is the head bellhop in the hotel. After unpacking our things we decide that We are hungry. We take a cab and head for the White Tower. All of a sud- den the noise of a siren pierces the air. lust ahead of us we see two wrecked cars and a doctor and a nurse are at the scene. We draw up quickly - thank heaven-it's nobody we know but we do recognize the little red haired nurse, Catherine Cunningham. On the side lines stand Sarah Neff and Frances White thumbing industriously through the pages of their First Aid books and arguing over what should be done with the mangled people. Catherine asks us if we want to go to the hospital so we follow the am- bulance. When we arrive, Catherine leads us to her special patient. As we near the door we hear a loud Kerchoo and someone saying, Why do people send me daisies? We pause and as we do so we hear violent sobbing. It is Walt Burrill outside of her door. I-le explains to us that Bette is now allergic to him. We are really hungry now so Cather- ine Cunningham takes us to the diet kitchen! Who do we see there but Betty Vrooman gorging on lettuce leaves and keeping an eye on the scales at the same time! She is happy to see us and fixes a lovely lunch. After taking bi-carbonate of soda we start on our way shopping. As we enter a large department store we notice a crowd of women around the perfume counter. A dapper looking gen- tleman is spraying the air with a sweet scent and telling the women of the charms of Fleur de Fleur La Mour or Love in Bloom. I-le comes near us and we see that it is Ernie Werner. Proceeding on our way we go to the grocery department and here we find Iune Mabbett still running around trying to sell the jelly-beans left over from Easter. Close behind her follows Aggie Myers carrying two cases of canned goods. She's still as strong as ever! We see three ladies looking over the bargains on the soup counter and as they turn around to have them wrapped we recognize Ella Rowland, Ruth Watkins and Ruth Baldwin who are now happily married. After a few more unimportant pur- chases we leave the building by the side door. Three janitors are very busily emptying ashes and as they turn around we see Bob Casey, Fred Iackson and Phil Drury. Bob is also reading The Life of Einstein. They don't see us so we make our Way out to the street and wait for an empty cab. Two girls come up, both carrying large trays-one is full of flow- ers, the other shoe laces and as they try to sell us their wares we recognize Emma Iean Barse and Iennie Volo. We hail a cab and are spared the task of purchas- ing something. We have to stop for a traffic light and find ourselves beside a large garbage truck. Two familiar faces are in the cab-one is Art Bubb and the other Donald Robb. The light changes and they are left far behind. Up ahead we see what looks like a small river but it is only a broken water main and as our cab cannot proceed we decide to walk the rest of the way. We pass a small shooting gallery and then we hear a voice say, Knock the milk bottles off with two baseballs and Win a beautiful kewpie doll. We look to see who it is and recognize Nat Murphy. We gaze past her and see Ieanne Martin very busily nailing the milk bottles down. Honesty is the best policy!!! We then go to our hotel-eat our din- ner and get into our best togs to go and see the sights. We attend a movie at Radio City and then decide to go danc- ing. We go to the largest hotel in the city featuring Leon Waterbury and his orchestra but then we change our minds and go to a small cafe-on a side street. As we enter the door we hear the familiar strains of Beer Barrel Polka and we immediately know that Peg Casey is playing the piano here. We talk to her and find that she can also play Three Little Fishies with variations. She tells us that Dottie Eberlein is now a great artist and that Alice McVeigh and Marion Sturges work in an ice cream parlor across the street. The floor show is just starting so We sit down to watch. Ken Hubbard is the crooner who warbles l Wish l Was Single Again, and Give Me the Wide Open Spaces, and our old friend Ruth Neuendorf does a tap-dance on roller skates. She sees us and tumbles over, looking quite silly with her lassoo. As she goes off, a door at the side opens and Connie Smith comes tripping out with the latest version of her Spring Dance. She is very happy to see us and insists that we go over to Elma Zoller's lunch wagon, but pleading fatigue, We do not accept her invitation and start back to the hotel. As we walk along the deserted streets we can't help thinking what a small world this really is and our minds go back to the year when we were Seniors - the Class of 1942.

Following the path of tradition, we, the luniors, continued the sale of ice cream, candy, and pop at football and basketball games. The lunior Play, 320 College Ave, under the direction of Mr. Rankin was highly successful. The luniors participating were Ruth Bolton, lack Stitt, Anna M. King, Walt Bruska, Arleigh Francisco, Carolyn Eysaman and Billy Brown. We are blessed with great athletes, both boys and girls, being excellently represented in baseball, basketball, football, track, tennis, archery and cheerleading. We are also proud of our musicians and choristers, and those participating in Prize Speaking and Debate. Our minds are just beginning to settle down and realize once again that regents are on the way. The Prom, which proved to be the best that any Senior has ever had, is over, with just a beautiful memory dominating our thoughts.

The team lacked much experience with an entirely new backfield and two new men on the line. However, a trend of great improvement followed through- out the season and a very high spirit arose in the school, and on the team, as each game was played.

The pitching so far has been much less efficient than the rest of the team but is expected to im- prove greatly before the end of the season. The first game which was against Canajoharie was the first Won since the l94U season. The first four games have been played with the following lineup: PitchersfG.

Hi-Y At the beginning ol the year the Mohawk Hi-Y roared into tull swing with an initiation that the boys still remember. After the normal meeting had been resumed several good speakers were heard and discussed. Iohn Palmer, now ot the U. S. Army, was elected President, Leon Shedd, Vice President, and Robert Casey, Secretary. Mr. Warren, the advisor, instructed the new members and reminded the old ot the signitigance ot the Club. The crowning event came upon May 20th when under the competent supervision ot Kenneth Lawton, the annual Father and Sons' banquet was held climaxing what we consider a successful season. ul' 40 1k Hand BACK ROW Klett to rightl-Ralph Patrick, Ronald Keno, Ellen Wollaber, Betty Palmer, lean Francisco, Ann Drennan, Doris Perry, Amelda Bergin.

The team backed an 880-yard man, a high jumper, a pole vaulter and a hurdle dash man. Bob Williams ran the quarter-mile, and Gordon White the mile. Art Bubb did the team's shot putting and Don Yates the broad jumping. Tennis Tennis has become increasingly popular in the last season, due largely to the new courts which were built on the new playgrounds in back of the school. The team so far has not done too well, dropping the first two games. The team is composed of: Risdon Brittan, Francis Cunningham, Bob Brown, Walt O'Connor, and Charles Lewis. Fanthall The football competitions were played off between the four high school classes. The Seniors won the first competition against the other three classes. The second com- petitions were won by the Iuniors. The play-off between the Seniors and Iuniors was won by the Iuniors. The Iunior team members were: I. Myers, N. Barbario, A. Hosel, I. Hammond, A. Riggs, R. Brittain, R. Mehring. Basketball The basketball intra-murals took form with four teams made up within the high school. They were Duke, Notre Dame, Cornell, and Syracuse The winners be- ing the Duke team and so on, respectively in order of final standings. The leading scorers were Sam Cockett, William Dygert, I... Murphy, and F. Cunningham. Safthall The softball games were played between the Senators, Bushwicks, Yankees, and Dodgers They are in order of winnings so far this season. The leading hitters so far have been Dick Mills, Ioe Cirillo, Don Yates and Ioe Davis. rehery The girls' intra-mural competitions have been in archery and basketball. Archery in its second year has been increasingly popular. At a contest in Syracuse, Louise Shoemaker received a medal and plans are being made to attend a contest in Iune. Girls' Basketball The Seniors were the winners in the girls' basketball intra-murals. A. team was made up in every class and two games were played with each team. The Seniors had an unbeaten season.
