At its first meeting on January 22, the following officers were elected� The purposes of this organization are: 1. To work for the advantage of and interest in public education on every level, local, state and national. 2. To bring about better understanding of education problems among teachers and to promote a strong professional spirit. 3 To stimulate closer relationship with the N.Y.S.T.A. and the National Education Association.

It was a big moment for us—one which we had all been looking forward to for some time. There were several differences from the old building. No more going to the town hall downtown for cafeteria, gym classes, assemblies, and ball practice. Instead, we are equipped with a fine and very convenient cafeteria, a very fine gymnasium, which accommodates a large crowd ax ball games, and is also a fine auditorium for our assemblies and other school activities. There is no more having to go without showers after gym clashes or a ball game, for we have been provided with locker rooms and showers. There is a great deal more room in the halls in which to move to and from classes with considerable more ease; the classroom space is also larger as well as more convenient. One room in particular is enlarged—that being the library. Not only is this room larger as far as space is concerned but the activities of the library and its circulation of books have also been increased. All books are now kept in the library instead of in the grade rooms. Books are also sent regularly to outside schools. Miss Bloomfield has been giving book talks this year in the grades. Included as an activity of the library during the year was the showing of films to the public. They were very well received by a large, appreciative audience. These movies were obtained from the Regional Library Service Center in Watertown, January 6 Second World War Our homemaking and agricultural departments have been increased in facilities. They are very well equipped with many modem conveniences. There is now no more opportunity for one to get out of study hall to take notices around, since Mr. Corbin now has a P. A. system on which he broadcasts from his own Inner Sanfetum.” Because of many changes brought on by our new building, there has also been a difference in the extra-curricular activities. The seniors were given permission to conduct the sale of candy during lunch hours, after school, and at ball games. The school had two plays this year in its new auditorium. Both the Juniors and seniors presented a play. February 1?

A bit of basketball was possible for boys in grades 4, 5 and 6. This was done with the hope of preparing them to become better players later. Among many of our changes, was an increase in the faculty. We found many new faces on the faculty when school opened last fall, and we have found them all most cooperative. In summing up our new building and the many changes which have helped to clear many problems, we have not forgotten the taxpayers and everyone who made this possible. The students are very thankful for all that has been done to do away with the old inconveniences, and to replace them with newer and more modern facilities. |c lit I Northern New York s Newest and Most Modern Theater Compliments of RCKY THEATER Potsdam, New York AIR CONDITIONED THROUGHOUT FOR YOUR HEALTH AND COMFORT 4,1' , ALTERATIONS PRESSING ALFRED DUNBAR 17 1 2 Main Street Over Western Auto Store DRY CLEANING POTSDAM, NEW YORK SAM KAPLAN DEPARTMENT STORE Clothing) Furnishings.

They are Merrill Brainard, Linnie Hotaling, Sandra Mathewson, David Place and Lyndon Seaver. However, Sandra, Marrill, and Linnie are the only three in the class who began together and have remained in the same class for twelve years. Lyndon and David began earlier. Lyndon Joined this group when it was still in its early years of grade school David did not become a member of this class until September, 194-9, hen the class entered its freshman year of high school. Eugene Groebler Joined the class in the third grade and Audrey Aiken came here from Malone in the fifth grade. The other seven members of the class who entered in, or after, the seventh grade ares Lynn Clark, Janet Miller, Altha Reed, Joyce Witherell, Jane Prittie, Edward Snickles, and Joyce Howes. The following have been at one time or another, members of our class: James Bradish, Dale Brown, Arthur Burnett, William Champney, Marvin Dibble, Willard Gilbert, Edward Lucas, Lloyd Peck. Donald Planty, Gerald Reed, Edison Rich- ards, Lawrence Trimm, Mary Alguire, Lillian Bradish, Eleanor Burnett, Dorothy Conklin, Keitha Drean, Charlotte Kent, Violet Richards (who transferred to Winthrop following the ninth grade), Wenda Sabre, Barbara Thomas (transferred to Colton following the tenth grade), Jinia Votra, Joyce Wilson, James Ashlaw, Donald Brown, Guy Reed, Earl Rice, Walter Simonds, Arnold Strader (who graduated in 1952), Carl Thomp- son, Doris Holcomb, Beverly Murray, Jessie Simonds (graduated in the class of 1951), Alison Smith, Joan Votra, Marie Allen, Betty Adner, Norene Watson, Richard Peryer, Martha Stark, Lane Nimmo, and Marlene LaMay. The seventh grade is when most of the class began their school years here. We were up in Room 25, the lab in the grade building, with Mr. Schmitz as homeroom teacher. The eighth grade found us in Room 14, now the kindergarten room of the grade building. Mrs, Clark and Mr. Knapp were our homeroom teachers that year. Our graduation was with the seni- ors of 1949. Eugene Groebler was valedictorian. During our first year of high school, we occupied Room 21 as our homeroom, and as advisor we had the new Athletic Director, Mr. Cross. Miss Johnson, Miss Gillette, Mr. Knapp, Miss Bloomfield, Miss Bumup, Mr. Bliss, Mrs. Smith and Mr. Stearns were our teachers. Miss Johnson, Mr. Stearns, and Miss Bloomfield were newcomers to the faculty, the latter eoming in December, after the sudden death of Miss Williams. CLASS HISTORY CONTINUED As we began our sophomore year we were 18 strong. Again Room 21 was our homeroom, and this year Miss Johnson was our advisor. We were again led by David Place as President; Vice President was Merrill Brainard; Janet Miller was Secretary? Eugene Groebler. Treasurer; and Ed Snickles was our reporter. Our dues were fifty cents. Our activities were the same ex- cept for a spring dance which was our first one. New teachers that year were Mr. Taylor and Mrs. Radway. We also had a new English teacher, Mr. Corbin. The fall of 1951 found us moved to Room 22, as juniors, with Mr. Pelotte as advisor. Dues were $.75 per month that year. Janet Miller was our President; Eugene Groebler, Vice President; Audrey Aiken, Secretary; Merrill Brainard, Treasurer; and Llnnie Hotallng, Reporter. We had two dances, a Fall Frolic and a Leap Year dance. We also joined with the seniors of that year in making the Junior and Senior Prom, which was the 1952 Cinderella Ball, a success. Mrs. Cummings and Miss Nuttell were new teachers, and Miss Bumup had become Mrs0 Hanlon. Jane Prittle, from Long Island, joined our class. On September 2, 1952, our class entered its last year of high school. Our number had now dwindled to 14. This proved to be a very busy and exciting year. We entered the new building and found more space in the halls and classrooms, and a great many added facilities such as the new gymnasium, shower rooms, and later in the year a P. A. system, thus doing away with written notices. New teachers were Mrs. Duffy, Miss Boyce, Mr, Santor, Miss Reamer, Mrs. Trerise, Mr. Phalen, Mrs. Seamons, Mr. Beha, who was our homeroom teacher and did a great deal for our class as assistant advisor. Mrs. Dominick joined us in January replacing Mr. Phalen who resigned. Officers for our senior year were David Place as President, Janet Miller, Vice President, Audrey Aiken as Secretary, Jane Prittie, Treasurer and Linnie Hotaling as Reporter. Miss Bloomfield was our advisor. Dues this year were $1.00 a month. Our first activity was a magazine sale conducted in the form of a contest. This proved to be extremely successful. We also sold Christmas cards and stationery. Probably one of the most memorable of our activities was our senior play ’’The Inner Willy.” presented on December fourth in Parishville and in Hopkinton on December fifteenth. Both presentations were very successful. We felt very fortunate in having as an activity, for money-raising purposes, the sale of candy through- out the school. Another activity was the basketball p me be- tween the faculty and the varsity. We have completed plans for our class trip to New York City as this goes to press. Another activity which was part of our English IV course, was the political debate just before election. The proposi- tion debated was Resolved that Eisenhower Should Become next President of the United States. Not only did this provide an opportunity for keen competition, but we received a tremen- dous amount of value from the knowledge gained through this activity. Our next activity was the senior participation in the pre- paration for the Varsity Dance which we held December 19, sponsored by grades 9-12 in an effort to aid the Athletic Association in raising funds for an electric scoreboard. The annual Varsity-Faculty basketball game was held on February 27. As a preliminary game the junior and senior girls played the women faculty who were aided by the freshman and sophomore girls. The former were victorious by a score of 23-10. In the main event-the varsity and faculty game- the large crowd saw a fine exibitlon of basketball. The var- sity were victors by a one-point margin - 55-5 « A Chinese auction was held between the two games for the benefit of the yearbook fund. The class was particularly pleased with the fine turn out at this—its last activity.

SHOP SPERLING’S Potsdam’s BIG furniture Store Furniture-Floor Coverings-Appliances THIS SCHOOL TEAR This year, when back to school we came; Things were certainly not the same. First of all we had a brand-new school; Many new teachers and a brand-new rule. Then football season arrived with a bang! We didn't so so well against the Bombay gang. One poor young fellow broke his leg, But he made a quick comeback, like a good egg. The juniors and seniors to Canton did go; When planning careers, we were told to go slow. The shorthand class held a tea; It was quite a success, so we see. About the election, the seniors did debate, Ike's side won, and it wasn't the work of fate. The school, an election did hold, Ike won again, so we are told. Then came Book Week, with an assembly too: The juniors put it on; they had a lot to do. On December 4th, the seniors had their play. It was very, very good, so we'll say. They put it on in Hopkinton, too, It was quite a success; now, we're telling you. Up came basketball season with a feeling of zest! They boys worked hard and they did their best. Then a radio play the sophomore did present. And during the Christmas party the faculty did relent. The grade school, an operetta had. And boy oh boy! Were we ever glad! One night the high school held their Varsity Dance; And everyone came to skip and prance. They sang us a song, oh so merry and gay! We all had fun; it was nearly like a day. Then came vacation, whoopee! We had a fine time, we all agree. One morning during role call, A voice from a box surprised us all. Our P. A. system was working now. And when it first began, we jumped, and howl There was a square-dance festival held in Cornwall, Where our students learned to dance to the Canadian call. Then came the faculty-varsity game, The faculty were good, but we best them just the same. Next the juniors presented a play “Ghost Wanted, a mystery, was good, so they say. The Phys. Ed. classes presented an exibition, Which proved that our students are in top condition. There was trampoline and dancing and tumbling, All went smoothly and there was no fumbling. Oh yes, two of our girls made ALL STATE CHORUS. Their names? Why Judy and Gert, of course. Up came Easter vacation, Oh good! Most of us rested, as much as we could. The band will have a concert and attend the festival in May. Now, we re working hard on the pieces we re going to play. The Junior-Senior Prom will also be held in May, We 11 have to work hard, but the fun is the pay. Now we ve summarized the year, Very close to the deadline, I fear. ANN SWIFT POST GRADUATE D.

The 1952-53 basketball season opened for the Parishville- Hopkinton quintet on November 21. The first game played in our new gymnasium. League play began December 2. It was the team’s third season as a member of the Franklin- St. Lawrence League. This season was not too successful for our squad. Two league games and two non-league games were won by the Parish- ville team. The most exciting of all probably was the 42-41 win at Colton; won on Mai Stacy’s foul shots in the closing seconds of play. Bill Goodrich, captain of the team, scored an even 200 points during the season. One-hundred fifty-one of these were during league play. The team scored 634 points. Its opponents total was 309, or 51 points per game. PHCS’s average was 40 points per game. The Junior Varsity team, as last year, enjoyed a good season. They ended up in second place in the league play with 3 wins and 4 defeats. They also won all four non- league games. Two of the P-H boys were among top scorers in the league competition. Sonny Forrest, J.V. captain, was third with 110 points, while Ronnie Robar was sixth with 92 points. Forrest scored 166 points in all sixteen games and Robar 133 The team scored 506 for an average of 32 points per game. The opponents’ scores were 436 or 27 points per game. VARSITY Fg. Ft. Pts, W.

JUNIOR CHORUS Our unsung motto this year has been to enjoy ourselves through singing. However, we were not without thoughts of preparation for Senior Chorus placement. Some of our more experienced voices have already been used to augment Senior Chorus. SENIOR CHORUS Two members of our chorus were honored this year by being selected for the All-State choir in Buffalo. They were Judy Wright and Gertrude McRobbie. In November, Judy Wright, Grace Christy, and Gertrude McRobbie were selected to sing in the NYSSMA sectionals at Potsdam. In May the whole chorus will participate in the Potsdam May Festival. At the Annual Spring Concert the chorus will present a few numbers JUNIOR BAND The main emphasis in the Junior Band this year was en- semble playing and getting ready to enter Senior Band. They will play two or three numbers in the Annual Spring Concert this year. SENIOR BAND Officers in Senior Band this year are as follows: President—Jane Prittie; Vice President—Janet Miller; Secretary—Lyndon Seaver; Treasurer—Grace Christy; Librarians—Judy Wright, and Gertrude McRobbie. This year we have tried to develope more initiative, drive, and greater ability for independent playing. To obtain this objective, we have played relatively few times as a full band as compared to the vast amount of playing in smaller ensembles. As a full band, we played for assemblies and for one parade (Halloween). Breaking up into groups, we had a brass ensemble for the football season; two pep bands for basketball season; a special group for the senior play; three people in NYSSMA sectional; and five people represent- ing Parishville in County Band: L. Seaver; J. Prittie; J. Miller; C. Wilson; and S. Mathewson. At the close of the year, we find the band coming to- gether again to perform as one unit: Potsdam Festival, May 8 and 9 Annual Spring Concert; class night; and commencement exercises J. Wright, A.

For the month of January, we devoted our paper to art- icles on the March of Dimes� We also had a display for it in our show case. We have had some opinion polls and the students told us what they thought we could do to improve the paper, and what they liked about it. ASSEMBLY PROGRAMS The first assembly we had this year was put on by seniors. They held a debate on the Presidential election. The chair- man of the debate was Janet Miller, The biographies of the nominees were told by Edward Snickles and Lynn Clark, The refutation speakers were David Place and Eugene Groebler, The Republicans were Sandra Mathewson, Lyndon Seaver, Jane Prittie and Linnle Hotaling, The Democrats were Joyce Witherell, Joyce Howes, Merrill Brainard and Audrey Aiken, The question debated Resolved that Eisenhower should be elected the next president of the United States. The fudges were Mr. Garbreana, Mr. Corbin, and Mr. Pelotte, who finally decided that the affirmative side won. This was greeted by a cheer from all Republicans present. The second assembly was given by the juniors on the theme of Book Week. Skits and pantomines were presented of scenes from well-known books. The audience guessed from which books they came. Students from grades 7-12 participated in dress- ing up as characters from books and poems. Prizes were given to the best pantomines and characterizations. Mary Eileen Costa and Bea Mott won first prize in the pantomines for a scene from Silas Marner. Second prize was given to A1 Remington, Steve Swift, Jim Bradish, John Snell, Bill Goodrich.
