As an everlasting monument to this Class do we publish Senior Memoirs '39. The essence of -happiness is a combination of friendships, associations, and a busy life. The staff of this yearbook hopes to impress this on the minds of our fellow classmates by bringing to their memory in years to come, the friendships, associations, and accomplishments of their days in high school. On behalf of the Senior Class of '39 we wish to thank Mr. George Albee, Head of the Department of Feature Publicity for the New York World's Fair, who assisted us with much valuable information concerning the Fair. This data -has aided us in the development of our theme, The New York World's Fair '59, SENIOR MEMOIRS 1 9 3 9 DEDICATION The Senior Class of nineteen hundred and thirty-nine declicates this class book to our parents, whose devotion and self-sacrifices have made this graduation possible.

SENGER SENIOR MEMOIRS 1939 A Preview of the World of Tomorrow Engineers, architects, designers, scientists and even 'botanists have combined their skill to produce one of the most magnificent projects ever known to man, the New York World's Fair. Rising above this array of curiously designed and colored buildings is the famed symbol of the fair, the Trylon and Perisphere. The Trylon is a slender seven hundred foot tri. angular pyramid or obelisk. The Perisphere is the .huge two hundred foot ball connected with the Trylon by a ramp sixty-five feet above the ground. The Perisphere contains the theme exhi-bit of the fair, The City of Tomorrow. The New York World's Fair surpasses the world's fair recently held in Chicago and is considerably larger than the simultaneous attraction-The Golden Gate Inter- national Exposition held on San Francisco's Treasure Island. There are approximately three hundred and seventy-five buildings situated on the fair grounds. One hundred and seventy are huge exhibit structures and amusement concessions. The Fair Corporation constructed about one-t-hird of these and located them in strategic places in order that they might serve as a control of the architecture of buildings constructed -by exhibitors. The other two hundred buildings are minor structures ranging from information booths and concessions to pumping stations. In all, about two hundred tons of paint were used to cover these buildings.

SENIOR MEMOIRS 1939 CLASS POEM By ELEANOR SHAW B The bell rings out the end of another day, The noisy crowd shoves swiftly out the door, The students homeward wend their carefree way, And I am left alone to work once more. Out comes my chewed-up pencil and my pad, And ofer my work I grimly concentrate. A Senior poet's life is dull and sad ,Til inspiration comes--thank some kind fate! The words-oh joy!-flow freely to my pad. I bend to work with diligence and glee. I think and write about the fun we've had. Doggone, welve had some grand times, havenxt we! I first recall that joker, Willie!' Strain, Whose gavel is at hand when Seniors meet. We sometimes get quite wild when met in Main, But popular prexy Bill just can't be beat. Happy-go-lucky Marge collects our cash, While jean, her pal, the minutes writes and reads. The girls all think that Hal has lots of dash, And Ackie Beagle all the height he needs! O'Malley, flaming youth, vice-president is. Of other Senior red--heads there are five. Theres Betty Cooper, speedy shorthand whiz. Ray Tyler is the shyest boy alive! Man of the people Boyle has red locks too. Claire Bishop seems to sing her way to fame. Lois Cunningham has admirers, quite a few! Now blondes. The blondest? Alice Smith by name. There's Arline, charming blue-eyed damozel, And Hildur Carlson, slender, sweet and tall. In contrast there is little Laura Crowell. Then Shirley Brush, chief lingerer in the hall. Mary Kowal is everybody's pal. With Shirley Stearns around we can't be blue. 'Fhat Libby is an up-and-coming gal. Preferred by gentlemen--the blondes. How true? H. Percival is on the Por-je Staff.

Miss Catherine Cunningham is small and shy. QAnd so is Etta Saunders, zealous lass., But that cannot :be said of dark-haired Vi. The gods forbid it! But we'll let that pass. Herm Cordisco seems to favor harems, But one's enough for football hero l'Brad. Babey likes the girls. His line can't scare 'em. Bill Galvin, as a Romeo, isn't bad. The champion football squad of '38 Has several other men in Senior Class. That snappy team as DUSO champions rate, And how those boys can tackle, block and pass! The captain, Nick Fedorka, played at end. Paul Freytag played right tackle on the line. jim Barbarino, half-back, skill did lend. Chub Russell played at full-back most the time. Hip hip ihooray!

And Percy at his work does sometimes nap. So does another Senior, john Marko. As business man, jack Tangen makes a go. Jack Flannery is always right on hand.

Miss Harlor comes to Port from Greenville town, And Betty Henion rides the Jersey bus.. Grace Cherry comes from Sparrowbush each day, And Worzel, driver of the town fire truck. C. Houser is one more from out that way. We wish the Birdtown brood the 'best of luck! Bob Hammond comes from far-off Cahoonzie. The land of birds is Douglas Knight's abode. Ed Flanagan inhabits God's Country. To live in West End seems to be the mode. Peg Greenhalgh comes from those far regions, too, And so do Katherine Witt and many more. A. Stratton's friends are more than just a few. Marie Rolles daily enters in Port's door. Now, Vera Sutton travels from West End, And Lillian Hinkley hikes from those parts too. Across the bridge their way West Enders wend, Especially Kay's devoted caller, Lew. Clap Goble shy and bashful may appear, But not Joe M. who talks both loud and long. joe Stankiewicz of talking has no fear, Or Clarence King. But then, I may be wrong. Jeannette Gilson is very often seen With Kit Skinner, who likes to sing and play. From Huguenot comes one more Skinner-Jeanne. She's seen with Flora any time of day. A real good girl is joan Goodfellow. Excuse me please. The pun is very poor. Sylvia likes to giggle lots, and how! QMy rhymes are rather far-fetched, to be sure.Q A farmer boy is Thomas Cuddeback.

Bill Flynn's a booster of the famed 4th Ward. And eyes at girls Dick Felter likes to make. 939 Peg Luckey, with her wit, is more darn fun! With Al Fleming she always laughs and talks. Because sfhe's late, M. Mead to school must run. To Matamoras Frank Connelly walks. A tall-tale fisherman is Lawrence Clark. In fall, Markiewicz warms the football bench. Such work should merit Collins some good marks. Cornelius wouldn't mind a few in French! jane Eckert likes to sing for us--and Chink. Peg Smith is fond of rinks and roller skates. jean Wagner is a pretty girl, we think. Quite often E. Prussia is almost late. Carl Wilbur's hair is prickly to the touch. Fran Waitherwerch's socks are bright of hue. But Carl's are even brighter. Oh much, much! fThat he bribed me to say this is quite truej Now, brothers, in our class are next to none. The exception is the Eckes, Fred and Dave. And pairs of sisters? There are two. And one Is Ruth and Dot, whom Suffern to us gave. Miss Margaret Bonney surely likes to chat With Ruth Norman, who is more quiet, though. Her sister Billy is quite small, at that, And so is little Catherine Fuchylo. And Mary Cashman, too, is spry and small, And not much bigger is Miss Pee Wee Kline. Well shucks, what is the use of being tall? The small ones seem to get around just fine. Vince Connelly's a very witty boy. A boxer bold is solemn Martin C. An ivory tickler and horn blower is Noe. A famous artist Tom is bound to be. Oh good! At last I'm to the final names. The first is Sophie Baran, Lillian's pal. The next is Lucille Hallock, always the same. The last is Fannie Melnick, a smart gal. n Dear friends, this monumental task is done. You're all in rhyme-to put you there, my lot. The lines may seem ambiguous to some, And rhyme is bad, the rhythm not so hot. To all poor sufferers who write in verse I offer sincere, hea.rt.felt sympathy. I know of no vocation any worse. A poet's life, I guess, is not for me. But as you read this humble offering, QWith true apologies .' to 'Uhomas Grayj, I hope that it will pleasant memories bring Of old-time pals, of school, of work, of play. Too soon our various ways in life will part, To teachers and to friends we'll say good-bye. But there will ever linger in each heart A love and honor for dear P. High.

VINCENT CONNELLY SENIOR ACTIVITIES By JEAN HAWKINS This year the Class of '39 is proud to report that it has done much in its efforts to secure funds for the Senior 'Class Book. As one of its financial projects, the Seniors sponsored the sale of red football feathers which netted a goodly sum. A very successful card party was held there was earned a substantial amount. in the gym. Prizes were donated and In the winter, the Seniors sponsored the enchanting magic of Don Rose and Company. A large audience was delighted by his many bewildering and baflling tricks. During the last week in March, the Seniors also backed a Plantation Minstrel. The minstrel was divided into three parts: The Plantation Scene, The Olio and the Blackface Comedy. There were a number of specialty acts, comedy numbers, and gags . Each act was enthusiastically received by a large audience. Doubtless the success of these activities is due to the tireless efforts of the several chairmen who worked constantly to a success of each activity. For the patronage, we, the Seniors, heartily thank you, the student body. Hail to future Senior Activities!

BETTY PHILLIPS SENIOR MEMOIRS LITERARY 1939 Color in the World of Tomorrow Former American Fairs have had a special color pre- dominating. The Columbian Exposition, Chicago, 1893, had been known as the Great White Fair, the Pan-Amer- ican Exposition, Buffalo, 1901, and the Louisiana Purchase Exposition, St. Louis, 1904, had also been white fairs. Chicago's Century of Progress, 1933 and 1934, exper- imented somewhat with a direct contrast of colors, but not to any extent. The Texas Centennial, Dallas, 1936, was a Tawny Fair, it's lion's color dictated by a desire to minimize the glare of southern sunlight. Tlhe New York World's Fair, 1939, may be rightly called the Rainbow Fair for to its many visitors, it would seem that there isnlt a known color that has been omitted. However confusing this mass array of color might seem, architects and landscapers have arranged and followed a definite plan. The exhibit area has been laid out in three geometrical divisions: a f1ve.spoke half-wheel plan of which the famed Trylon and Perisphere is the hub for the main exhibit area, a square plan for the transportation section, and a formal plan for the government section.

The falling snow began to drift on a rising wind. A weary-looking, ragged' boy stuck his head out of the entrance to a dark alley, and as he looked cautiously in both directions, he stepped out into the storm, and headed down the street. As he walked, his thoughts matched the bitterness of the wind that tore at his ragged sleeves. He was thinking of other times, of how happy he'd been in his own -home, the contentment he'd always known and the bright future he'd hoped for. But then would come the bitter Hood of memory re- painting for his inner senses the 'hateful pogrom, the nights of worry and burning fear, the days of shame and insults. Then that final awful night-the shots that had challenged his father's resistance at the door, the brutal treatment his mother had faced and his own terror as he lay where she had hidden him! Bit- terly he remembered that -hateful scene: his mother and sister being dragged brutally from the house while his father's bloody body lay outstretched in the door. Blinking manfully to prevent the tears from fall- ing, he thought of his own days of terror, his strange escape and the fortune that had guided him to America's friendly shores. This last was the only thing that made his grief bearable. Making a determined effort to control his emo- tions, the boy wandered listlessly down the walk. As it was getting colder, he headed across the square attracted by a huge banner above the door of the armory reading: Social Lecture on True American- ism . . . Everyone welcome . . . Free! . . . He mounted the armory's long, icy steps, halt- ingly approached the door, passed nervously by a uniformed trooper, who handed him a pamphlet, and entered the darkened hall. On the stage, the leader of the Bund was carry- ing the people to new heights of fancy as, in his perfectly modulated voice, he urged them to over- throw those tyrannical ofiicialsu and accept Nazi- ism. Using, the boy thought bitterly, the princi- ples of democracy to overthrow it, to undermine its principles and advocate in its stead autocracy and class distinction. The boy eased slowly down the side aisle, up toward the front of the building, nearly to the stage. The orator now began a tirade against the govern- ment, condemning its officials . . . but at the same time eulogizing Der Capitanf' He argued against Democracy's principles and condemned the boy's people, called them l'robbers, misers and blamed them for all the country's ills. The boy well knew what was occurring in that room, he had seen all this happen before. Although a few clear-headed, educated fpeople began to purse their lips cynically at the speaker's remarks, he real- ized that the large number of uneducated, radically- minded people in that room were beginning to get more and more highly keyed. He could feel their rising emotions in the very air. He knew from sad experience the result of such meetings as this. He had seen his people become the object of a nation's hate before. As a result, his father was dead, his mother imprisoned and his own life ruined. This thought was too much for him. With a heart-rending sob on his li s, he hurled his thin body down the aisle, clambered heavily upon the wooden platform, and ran squarely into a group of uniformed troopers, who sprang to cut him off from the speaker. Though clawing like a wild cat, fighting and kicking, it availed him noth- ing. He was carried to the floor under the weight of the troopers, an arm descended heavily .... and the boy lay still. The audience in the house little realized that there, before their eyes, a martyr had been sacrificed while fighting for Democracy. They fully agreed with the Bund members that freedom of speech must be preservedf, The police made few inquiries, since the rashness of a poorly dressed boy, unknown and unrelated, causes but little stir in the precinct of a great city. The Bund demanded that the 'Civil Rights Committee insure them against a similar dis- turbance in the future, following the custom of Democracy, the Committee agreed.

SNYDER, '41 Bright stars from the azure sky gazed down Upon the sordid earth, and they knew That things here of great renown Are oft quite hidden from view.

SENIOR MEMOIRS 1 93 9 Second Prize Story SUMMER SOUVEN IR PATRICIA SALMON Hey, Johnnie, hurry up. Here's another family with their kid for your cabin. Johnnie slowly opened his eyes, stretched, yawned, and got off his cot. He was starting his first year as a counsellor at a boys' camp. The boys were just arriving, ten were his personal charges. He himself had been a camper for the last five years, and now that he was too old to come -back, he had applied for work. The director had been pleased with Johnnie, and had given him the Job. Of course, the salary wasn't very much, but he had heard from the older counsellors that the tips from grateful parents were plentiful. In fact, he expected to buy 'himself Qwith the prof1tsJ a second- hand car to sport in front of the girls back home. Wouldn't he be a killer diller, though! Here came his hrst boy. Slowly he whistled. Say, this family looked plenty rich. They were driv- ing a low, foreign made car, and the wife wore a furpiece that must have cost a fortune, Just what I'm after, he sighed. That youngster is already Johnnie's pet. The Director was approaching with the family. Ah, there you are, John, he cordially greeted. I want Mr. and Mrs. Rockbilt to meet you. This is Perci- val, their little man. Percival is to be in your cabin. I'm sure he will be quite happy here, won't he? and he smiled ingratiatingly at the Rockbilts. Indeed we hope so, smiled Mrs. Rockbilt, and she poked her son. Shake hands with your counsel- lor, dearest. He looks like a very pleasant young man. But don't you think, she continued to her husband, that he appears rather young to have such a responsibility?', I assure you, Mrs. Rockbilt, that John is very capable. He loves children, and was himself a fine cam-per, spoke up the director. Splendid, splendid, boomed Mr. Rockbilt. Pardon me, my dear, but we must hurry. You haven't forgotten my conference, have you? Oh yes, we must go, she answered. Kiss me, Percival. Be a good little darling, and write to me every week, and I shall give you that BB gun in the fall. Now John, take the best of care of him, and I'm sure he won't cause you any trouble. He's a very considerate little fellow. Goodbye. As she moved off, Johnnie took a good look at Percival. Silently he made a sound of distress. Percival had carrot-red hair, so many freckles that you couldn't distinguish his features, and further- more, his fists were doubled as though he were preparing to fight. So, Mrs. Rockbilt's angel sneered, so, you're my counsellor. You're not very tough, I betcha, but I yam, an' you let me be, an' you'll get along okay. He allowed Johnnie to lead him into the cabin, and to show him his cot. This is a fair place, he sneered. Johnnie wondered whether Percival was really sneering or whether his face was so wrinkled that he did it naturally. Soon other campers were arriving, and Johnnie was busy getting them settled. They were all about ten years old, and 'he had to do most of the un- packing. After supper, when all the boys were in bed, he finally relaxed, and thought over the day. As a whole, they were a nice group of boys, well- bred, easy to manage, and would make good campers. 'Iihat is, all but Percival. During the day, Percival had managed to be as bad as one small boy could be. Already he'd fought with a thirteen-year-old, and surprisingly licked him, had pushed another boy into the lake, and had cut the rope holding the rowboats at shore. Johnnie had had to swim out and retrieve them. Johnnie vowed just before he went to sleep, that he was not going to give up. I'll be so nice to Percival and I'll change him so much that his parents will fall all over me. Just give me these two months. One month was over, and Johnnie had never worked harder in his life. Unfortunately, Percival hadn't changed. At first the other boys had made fun of him, but not for long. Besides having plenty of money, he had strength and iniative. Soon he had been christened Red Dog, and Red Dog knew nothing about camp life. He couldn't swim, play baseball, or any other games, and couldn't even make his bed. Johnnie had walked into his cabin one day and found poor little Jimmie Fellows struggling with Red Dog's bed, with Red Dog standing over him with a ping pong bat. SENIOR MEMOIRS 1939 That will be enough of that, yelled Johnnie. Percival, you make your bed yourself. I will not, screamed Percival, and you call me Red Dog. I thought I told you how to act with me. My mother won't stand for anyone treatin' me bad. Johnnie sensed that he should proceed with caution. Okay, Red Dog. But about this bed business, you don't mean to tell me you can't even make your own bed. W-hy, even the eight-year-old campers can do thatf' Thereafter Red Dog made his bed, but he wasn't so easily persuaded to learn to swim. Finally Johnnie gave up trying. But the gods were on Johnnie's side. One day everyone down by the lake was fishing. Red Dog was tired of fishing and sneaked over to slide a worm down one of the boy's necks. The boy gave a jump, and Red Dog found himself in the water. That was all he knew. When he woke up he was in his cot surrounded by admiring boys. What happened? he gasped. Immediately they all tried to tell him. It seemed that Johnnie had jumped in and saved him. If he hadn't been so quick, Red Dog would have drowned. That's what you get for not knowin' how to swim, Red Dog. Shut up, yelled Red Dog. I do know how to swim. Just you ask Johnnief' When Johnnie came in, he was instantly sur- rounded by the boys, each one trying to talk. Hold on a minute, fellows, what's this all about? Can Red Dog swim? they shouted. He said you knew he could swim, but he can't, can he? Cautiously Johnnie looked at Red Dog. For once, the snarl was off his face, and he looked imploringly. Sure he can swim, said Johnnie. Only the Doc didn't want him to until next month. Then he'll show you. After that Red Dog was Johnnie's slave. Johnnie taught him to swim secretly, and he didn't fight any more. All his letters to his mother and father were glowing with accounts of his strong, wonderful counsellor. The next month was like heaven, no fights or troubles. A calm peace pervaded Johnnie's heart. Just wait until he got that bonus from the Rockbilts. At last the day arrived when the parents came to take their darlings home. Johnnie cleaned his boys so vigorously that he almost scrubbed off their tan. Neatly he packed their trunks, and they had to sit quietly in the cabin playing marbles. Then he relaxed and started to dream about his car. It would be red, yes, decidedly red, with silver wheels and a horn that went ta ta ta-ta. All this was due to Red Dog. Johnnie raised his head and regarded his ward. There he sat contentedly with the others. The sneer :had been forever rubbed off his face more freckles had been added. He could swim, now the best first baser on his baseball team, had won a prize for marksmanship. Johnnie afraid to think how much his parents would I 8 him. Oh horrors! The suspense was terrible. and was and was ive Then he heard the cars arriving. Fond parents were coming to his cabin. How do you do? he inquired of each politely. Your son has been a very good boy I'm sorry to see him go. one and Then they coyly held out an envelope and said, We want to thank you for taking such fine care of our boy. He answered to each and every one of them, Really you shouldn't have done this. We don't expect it, you know. And your son was no trouble at all. Then he grabbed the envelope. It was five o'clock, and still Red Dog's parents had not come, but Johnnie wasn't a bit nervous. He knew what a busy man Mr. Rockbilt was. Then he counted over the money he had received. Twenty dollars from the camp, ten dollars a month, and he had to pay that to his father because he had smashed up the family car, and repairs were exactly twenty dollars. Then the money from the parents altogether amounted to twelve dollars. Some tight bunch they were. Oh, well, this small cash would probably come in handy. Someone was calling him. It was Red Dog. My folks are here, Johnnie. They want to see you 'fore they go. Here is my moment, here it is, thought Johnnie, as he raced over to the car. Here he is! cried Mrs. Rockbilt. Here is the boy who has done more 'for my son than three tutors. John, I simply can't thank you. 'lThat's what you think, thought Johnnie. My boy, -boomed Mr. Rockbilt, splendid job, splendid. I feel the way my wife does. Here is a small token of our gratitude. Trying to keep his .hands from shaking, Johnnie took the neatly done-up package. Sir, he managed to mumble, I appreciate this very much. Then he turned to Red Dog and said goodbye. Gosh, Johnnief, said Red Dog clutching Johnnie's jacket, gosh, I hate to go. I'm comin' again next year, Johnnie. I'm gonna miss ya somethin' awful. Now Red Dog, don't go soft on the last day. Just think of all the fun we'll have next year. Goodbye, Red Dog. I'll miss you too. Johnnie waved to the departing automobile, watching Red SENIOR MEMOIRS 1 Dog hanging half-way out of the window in order to wave. Then he raced madly back to this cabin and slowly took off the ribbon from the package. How much will it be, how much? he whispered as he drew off the box-top. There nestled in rows of tissue paper was a bright red and yellow tie. Gosh, he whistled, they gave me a tie too. Now for the money. He started to look through the paper for the envelope leisurely, and then madly. Where could it be? Could they have forgotten? Again 93 9 z and again -he searched through the paper, but no money. At first he couldn't believe it. A necktie! What could this mean? just then another counsellor entered the room. Whatcha got there, Johnnie? Ah, a necktie. Pretty snazzy, I'll say. Whee-e-e, expensive too. Musta cost five dollars. With an agonizing groan, Johnnie fell on the bed. A whole summer's work for a tie. I think, he said deliberately, I think that I will jump in the lake.

ORGANIZATIONS 1939 Color in the World of Tomorrow The five spokes of the hub in the main exhibit area have a definite color scheme as follows: Avenue of Patriots starts at the Trylon and Perisphere, bordered on each side with buildings and gardens beginning wit-h white through a gamut of yellows, ending in a deep gold Plaza at Bowling Green, a progression northeast along Constitution Mall through rose to burgundy, and a south- eastern progression along the Avenue of Pioneers from pale tints to a climax of ultramarine blue at Lincoln Square. Connecting these last three spokes at their terminal extremities, Rainbow Avenue curves in the chord of a circle with its color progression from gold through orange to red and on through violet to blue, where hues well blend into one another as they do in the spectrum. Into this frame of color are set some sixty-five buildings of varied architectural character, each related to its neighbor and none out of harmony. Unlimited variety is found in the coloring of individuals, but there is no lack of unity in the general scheme. The transportation and government areas also have definite color schemes similar to the one just mentioned. No fixed rule was followed as to the area of dominant color which must be used on any building. In order that the visitor may not become satiated with color, off- white is freely used as a relief and thereby his vision is cleared and made ready for new adventures.

SENIOR MEMOIRS: w1939 DEBATING By JAMES O,MALLEY This year marked the first attempt of P. H. S. to enter a Debate Team in the Duso league, Nevertheless, the school should feel very proud of this team, despite its inexperience, for it went out into competition with seasoned veterans and upheld the honor of old P. very well. The team had several pre-season debates which were non-decisiong some of these were with Monticello, Peekskill and other teams that enter with Metropolitan debate Leagues. Port may be very proud of the way our debators met these teams. After several of these debates the team entered league competition with the following results: P. Negative lost to Jeffersonville Aff. 2-1 P. J. Affirmative lost to Monticello Neg. 3-0 P. Negative beat New Paltz Aff. 3-O P. Affirmative beat Highland Neg. 2-1 To end the season the two home teams alhrmative and negative, met each other in a debate in chapel. This was non-decision. The teams are to be congratulated on their efforts as is also their efficient coach, Mr. Todd Lane. The teams were: AmVfI7dif1'6 N e galitfe WILLIAM STRAIN, Capz. JACK TANGEN, Capt.

Its members have been active in the Hi-Y, French Club, Student Council and Girl Scouts, and have served on the Por-je Staff. The class gave the quarter-back and the full-back to the football team, and it had two of its members on the varsity basketball team. It is especially remarkable that eleven out of its eighteen members are planning to enter institutions of higher learning next September. A reunion of the Class of 1938 was held during Christmas vacation. At present the class is planning to present a chapel program. The last social activity will be a picnic in june. Speaking for the Post Graduates, I wish to say that each one of us has appreciated our year very much. We are especially glad that we have had the opportunity to have a part in the organization of the student council. We are sure that this organiza- tion will be instrumental in creating a better feeling of cooperation and understanding between the faculty and the student body.

SENIOR MEMOIRS 1939 FOOTBALL By joE INTROCASO The Port Jervis football squad, after making a fine showing against some tough opposition, came out on top in the DUSO League. On September 24, Port was defeated in their first game of the season by the much superior team from Poughkeepsie, the final score being 13f0. In their next tilt they fought to a 12-12 deadlock the Pleasantville Panthers. Not discouraged by these two games, the Red and Black came back to defeat the Kingston team 14+-12. On October 29, Port defeated a favored Mt. Pleasant team, the final score being 26-9. The next week, in a game full of rivalry, Port defeated the powerful Newburgh squad 13f-0. On Armistice Day Port traveled to Liberty and beat the Indians 20-0. Then came Thanksgiving, and that means the big event of the year, Port meets Middletown, or Port beats Middletown, the score being 38-O. Thus ended a fairly successful season for the Red and Black. The members of the team were: LE'NEENAN RT-COLLINS LT-FREYTAG RE-FEDORKA LG-SEEBER QB-NED QUINN CQCONNELLY RH-BARBARINO RG-joe DUNN LH-HENDRY FB-CRINE SENIOR MEMOIRS CCI 9 3 9 Efii BASKETBALL By ED ROBlNSON The basketball squad enjoyed a fairly successful season. By winning half of their games and climaxing a long, uphill Hght with unexpected victories over a strong Middie outnt and a previously unbeaten Poughkeepsie Five, the Porters showed that they really had the stuff when the occasion demanded it. When Coach Horsman issued his call for candidates in mid-November, six veterans reported. They were: Captain Harrison, Dunn, Connelly, Freytag, Brown and Biondi. Three new players augmented the squad: Ed Robinson, Fedorka and Sweeney. In addition to the above-mentioned teams, Port conquered Ellenville, Monticello and Matamoras, twice each, and Hnished fourth in the DUSO League. The most exciting contest of the season proved to be the Newburgh encounter on their court. The Red and Black were toppled in an overtime session, 34-32, after a last second prayer shot had enabled the Goldbacks to tie the score. Capt. Harrison ran up the amazing total of 19 points during this game. Many of the boys are planning on returning to school next year, and Coach Horsman will, no doubt, be able to mold another formidable quintet. Mr. Horsman deserves much praise for the expert way in which he turns out teams, year in and year out. Good luck for next year! SENIOR MEMOIRS 1939 BASEBALL By PAUL FREYTAC All candidates reported on April 3 ready for action. The spirit of the boys was somewhat dampened on account of unfavorable weather conditions. With only two days' practice they ventured to Poughkeepsie, and succumbed to an 11--2 score. The next week brought on the first DUSO game with Newburgh. Although leading through 5 innings of play, Port was finally overthrown in the 6th by a margin of 10-8. The team consists of Jazz,' Seeber catchingg Joe Sweeney and Ed Flanagan alter- nating at the rubberg Ray Dunn at firstg Jim Biondi at secondg Joe Pavlock at shortg Paul Freytag at thirdg at center field Joe Garrityg right field Skeets Wickhamg and in left field Jack Scully. The remaining games to be played are as follows: ' May 6-Middletown at Port Jervis May 10--Monticello at Saugerties May 20--Ellenville at Port Jervis May 27-Saugerties at Saugerties June 10-Kingston at Port Jervis A return game with Middletown and games with Eldred and Milford are still pending. SENIOR MEMOIRS 1939 TRACK By JAMES O'MALLEY This year's track season started its activities on April thirtieth when the team elected the two co-captains for the year, james Barbarino and Edward Robinson. Although hampered by inclement weather throughout April, the team was able to whip itself into some sort of shape for its first encounter. However, they lost this meet to a strong N. Y. M-A squad. Nevertheless, the school can look forward to a good year for track. Because we lost many men by graduation last year, mostly in the field and sprint sections, their places will be hard to fill, nevertheless, Coach Fisher has some line, new blood developing in every one of these events and looks forward with anticipation to the coming season. Port has a fairly severe schedule: Newburgh Relays on the thirteenth, Monticello and Walden on the twentieth, Middies on the twenty-seventh and the Duso teams on june third. Again this year, the team will lose several old men by graduation, among whom will be Captain james Barbarino, pole vaultg Walter Babey, half-mileg Captain Edward Robinson, quarter-mile and Nicholas Fedorka and james O'Malley, mile. However, this loss cannot compare with the tremendous one faced last year and should leave a good team for next year. The entire squad joins in wishing the class of '39 the best of luck. SENIOR MEMOIRS 1 9 3 9 TI-IE GIRLS' A.-A. With an early start, and a year's experience behind it, the Girls' A. A. this year has had a very successful season.

For participating in each event, the girls receive points, and at the end of the year emblems are awarded according to the number of points earned. With Miss Hamlin as capable adviser, the A. A. is succeeding in interesting the girls in competitive sports and developing a spirit of cooperation and sportsmanship. BOYS' INTRAMURAL ACTIVITIES During the past year a decided improvement in the participation and execution of boys' intramural athletics was shown. Good sportsmanship and team work pre- dominated in all events. Basketball saw a hotly contested season with a well organized league comprising eight balanced teams. The two superior teams of joe Pavlock and Joe Garrity finished one-two in that order respectively. A play-off was necessitated and Pavlock won two out of three contests. Mr. Davies, our pihysical instructor, has formulated plans for a fine intramural softball league to 'be introduced. Our depart- ing class wishes all intramural successors to cooperate and carry on the good sports- manship displayed during the past year. SENIOR MEMOIRS ADVERTISEMENTS 1939 Landscaping in the World of Tomorrow Because tihe grounds of the New York World's Fair have been laid out with the most careful regard for a varied and interesting color scheme, even the flower beds will have to yield hues of matching colors or be out of harmony. Botanical experts have conducted tests not only to discover the exact colors of certain species, but also to determine the precise tone of fading flowers. Perhaps, the visitor might think of landscaping as a minor detail outshadowed by the marvelous feats of engin- eering and painting about him. However, when 'he con- siders the fact that Holland donated a million bulbs fthe majority tulips, as might be suspectedj for the fair and the Fair Corporation has supplied two hundred and seventy-four thousand bedding plants, four hundred thous- and pfansies, five hundred thousand hedge plants, two hundred and fifty acres of greensward and ten thousand trees, he will have a little more appreciation for this display of nature at its best. The trees and gardens iborder forty miles of pathways and sixty miles of paved highways. However, if it be- comes fatiguing to traverse these routes, fifty thousand benches have been located at convenient intervals to pro- vide for any such discomfort.

C-L66 We Hate To See You Go EDWARD F REYTAG It's been nice knowing all of you, Every one in the Senior class, But there seems to me so very few, Of our greater elderly mass. To school you trudge every morning, To help you in later years, In your brain the knowledge is forming, It will help you in your careers. But alas, the time has come, From our school you must depart, And leave us all to become, Full-blooded students at heart. When we see you in black ca e and hood, There forms in our eyes a big tearg You must graduate it is understood, The world you must face without fear. We hate to see you go, The hours 'we watch go by, Our spirits are very low, Our Seniors we love very high. When you graduate and everything is passed, Back to school we come for learning, And hope to graduate just as fast, For we have your same yearning.
