As freshmen, we were almost insignificant. The upperclassmen won all honors and we were content to sit back and let them do so. We did, however, help much in raising funds for the Red Cross and in selling and buy- ing bonds and stamps. In the next September, 1944, we returned as sophomores. During this year we continued our activities for the Red Cross and Bond Drives. Members of our group found their way into athletics, the Dramatic Club, the Kronikler Staff and the music groups. In the spring of that year, our little group was saddened by the death of one of the members, Arlene Bur- well. Arlene was an outstanding girl. We have missed her very much these last two years. In the fall of 1945 as we filed into Room 32, we found we were minus another prominent member, Joe Sis- son, who was enrolled in Vermont Academy. This was our first year of organization and we elected the following officers: President, Richard McGee; Vice-President, Violet O'Leary; Secretary, Sally Arton; and Treasurer, Lorraine Amelotte. Mr. Bethel was our class advisor. Our officers served well and we had a most successful year. Our activities to accumulate a class fund consisted of food sales and Vic dances. Our class, also, raised money for the Clarkson Fund and the Frank Knight Fund. As juniors, we held a tag day downtown for the Red Cross. The highlight of the year was the Junior Prom Evening in Paris. Rufus Bynum did an excellent job as head of decoration, and Bruce Campbell received well-deserved praise for the murals he painted. The whole class worked extremely hard to give the nicest Prom ever presented at Potsdam High School. Our class lost Bunk Hill and Johnny Christman who moved ahead to graduate with the class of '46 and Clemy Lou Kelley who moved to Malone. Then during the summer we lost Lois Gilbert and Rufus Bynum. This last year has been one full of experience. Our officers for the year were: President, Richard McGee; Vice-President, Richard Jebo; Secretary, Sally Arton; Treasurer, Lorraine Amelotte; Business Manager, Bruce Camp- bell, and Miss Gallaher, Advisor. Six juniors and ten veterans increased our number to seventy-seven. We have had stag dances, sold Beb products and had our annual jamboree to supplement funds. Our jamboree marked another success for us. In the auditorium there was a musical and a one-act play, Thanks Awfully. In the gym- nasium there was dancing, boxing, and the game booths. In Room 7, Bingo was held. The Yearbook, Sandstoner was our last project. W e are proud to be the first class to publish a book in our school. As founders, we hope this endeavor will become a tradition. There remain for us only our graduation exercises a nd the Senior Alumni Banquet and Ball. As we come to the parting of the ways we wish to leave our best wishes to future seniors and our many thanks to Mr. Cole and the faculty for their patient and understanding guidance during the past four years. We hope we have left in Potsdam High School a little something by which the class of 1947 may be remembered, for P. H. S. has given us a great gift, wonderful memories. CLASS HISTORIAN—Beverly Crowley. Class Will We the class of '47, being of unsound mind and body after four years' hard work, solemnly publish and declare this to be our last Will and Testament. We give to the faculty our everlasting gratitude for their patience and understanding during our four years. With a prayer in our hearts we earnestly hope that the accumulation of our abundance of knowledge has not caused too many heads to turn gray. Dick McGee, being of a generous nature, bequeaths to all would-be glamour girls his big blue eyes. Charlie Widrick inherits Violet O'Leary's heavy schedule to keep him out of trouble in future years. Sally Arton bequeaths her flirtatious nature to Evelyn Reynard. The executive ability of Lorraine Amelotte is left to Bob Powell. Anna Adams leaves her reserved manner to Sallie Maxcy. Joel Merriman is on the receiving end of Pauline Bancroft's musical tendencies. Veronica Baxter leaves her position on the cheerleading squad to Ann Bachelder. Hazel Bostick, parting with her flute with a mournful sigh of regret leaves it to future students with which to haunt Room 21. Barbara Calipari bestows upon Theresa McGowan her long dark hair. The niceness of Louise Carey is left to Patricia Walker. Barbara Arnold being a quiet girl, is left the infectious giggle of Beverly Crowley. Antoinette Dokianos leaves her jewelry to Anna Dokianos to add to her collection. Ann Fefee leaves her petiteness to Beverly Dibble. The indifferent attitude of Barbara Hayes is bequeathed to anyone who wants it. Stanley Towne leaves his ambition to all those wishing to earn a diploma on easy street. Bruce Campbell leaves his Huba-Huba appearance to Stewart Collins. Joyce Pope parts with her personality because there is such a shortage in the junior class. Dave Woodruff inherits Alma Lytle's love for Latin III. Tom Coyle leaves his English skill to anyone who can pass an exam with it. Ken Morgan parts with his broad shoulders regretfully, but we feel that Bob Fielding needs them more than he does. Bill Oman leaves his unsolicited opinions about Chemistry to the next unfortunate class. Paul Whalen leaves his personality to those who can use it as well as he does. Don King leaves his tempermental jalopy, by the side of the road—where else! Corky Sisson leaves her house to future classes of PHS, to use whenever they tire of the unceasing storm of knowledge thrust upon them. Dick Jebo leaves his smooth line to Bob Hodge—do you think he needs it?? Ann Regan leaves her sense of humor to Ann Allgaier. Naturally we can't forget Mark Jones—so Chuck Blackmon very generously leaves him some of his height. Janet Sanford leaves her domestic manner to all the freshmen girls in hopes that it will do them some good before they become seniors. Dana Farrisee leaves to Bob Austin his ability to keep on the right side of the teachers. Bob Manfred leaves his brains to all grief-stricken students before an exam. Ginny McIntyre leaves her love life to all the inexperienced! Fred Chase leaves his athletic ability to Donald Barnett. Margaret Lavine leaves her industriousness to Rob bie McGee. Laura Lloyd, Betty Sweet, and Dorothy Lawrence leave their ability to get ahead—fast! to all the unfortunates who are left behind. Jane Macomber leaves—Clarkson! Oh, happy day! Donald Northrup leaves his ability to study to Walter Bunstone. Chuck Bullard leaves his ability to stick to one girl to Jack Morgan. Marie Sellers leaves her athletic ability to Mary Parlow. Put it into extensive use, Mary. Betty Simpson leaves her job in the office to anyone who has time for it. And so, having bequeathed these precious possessions to our beloved underclassmen, we bid farewell to our Alma Mater. WITNESSES—Barbara Calipari and Joyce Pope. Class Prophecy of ’47 One evening not so !- i I was leisurely sitting at home when I began wondering about ihe future of the members cf the class of '47; and, anxious to hear what th 3 mystic Crystal Ball would foretell, I was inspired to con- sult Madame Zola, the noted gypsy teller. When I arrived at her home she ushered me into a small, dark and mysterious room. After going through many strange acts she leaned forward in her chair, and putting her hands on the Crystall Ball, gazed into it. Then closing her eyes and in a far away voice she began: I see your President, Richard McGee, has just completed eight years of intensive study at Wadhams Hall and has been appointed Pastor of St. Patrick's Cathedral in New York City. Dick Jebo, Vice President, Your own Frankie apparently has discarded his singing career for his love of stop- ping leaky faucets. Sally Arton, Secretary, is STILL waiting for the fleet to come in. The door is unlocked, the table is set, but evadable Kelly hasn't come yet. Lorraine Amelotte, Treasurer, is operating several successful Dress Shoppes featuring the famous Larr's Lacy Lingerie. Bruce Campbell, Business Manager, is being kept busy these days as art editor of the Women's Day and is playing father to his five carrot-top Sallies. Violet O'Leary has finally attained her long awaited goal as a first Soprano in the Metropolitan Mad House Donald Northrup is explaining the Einstein Theory of Relativity and discovering new laws in Physics. Alma Lytle is busy on a project of cleaning up the slums of New York City. Beverley Rice is, at the present, touring the country with her violinist husband. Your own Bill Jenner and Bill Thompson have taken New York by storm. They say they're doing this and doing that. Everyone is wondering who's doing this and who's doing that. Barbara Calipari and Joyce Pope, in the past years have bettered the relationship between Pan America and the United States by really applying the Good Neighbor policy. Dick Sanford and Guy Ballmoose are now engaged in building a pier in San Francisco Bay. Joyce Leonard is now operating a chicken farm, hatching chickens. Dick Patenaude is a representative of the Assembly and has recently introduced a bill which will make the present school day two hours shorter. Barbara Hayes, Betty Lawson, and Lorraine Scott now hold positions in a large New York firm as bookkeep- ers and accountants. Bob Manfred is a professor in the Massachusetts institute of Technology, teaching higher mathematics. Corky Sisson has recently resigned her position as Medical Secretary, because the call of the home was bec- koning. Con Krupa Elliott is the leader of a famous dance band now playing in an exotic New York night club. Wayne Denicourt, his vocalist, is the new rage of the bobby soxers. Charles Bullard and his wife, the former Marie Sellers, have now expanded their business so much that Com- munity Ice Cream is referred to as the Pride of the Norih, South, East and West. Anna Adams, Louise Moshier, Dorothy Regis and Ann Fefee are happily married and are kept busy caring for their families. Charles Blackman is now the head of a large firm which manufacturers short trousers for boys. Ann Regan is the National President of the 4-H Club and is now attending a National Convention in Chicago. Fred Chase is now the owner of a large circus which is touring the country and is supported by a small star cast of the class of '47, including Gilbert Jones as the strong man, Jerry Lennox as the elephant trainer, and Louise Cary as a tight rope walker. Class Prophecy of ’47 Janet Sanford is now Dean of Smith's College in Massachusetts. Dana Farrisee is the successful President of the Ra quette River Paper Company. The crystal then became cloudy and she was un able to see any more. Finally, it became clear and speaking in the same voice, she began again. Virginia McIntyre is now the star in the Broadway Success, Talk It or Leave It. Paul Whalen is opening up another branch of the Community Ice Cream in China. Don King has been signed up with MGM and is known socially as a heart breaker. Betty Simpson is the new head librarian in the Congressional Library in Washington, D. C. Pauline Bancroft is now lecturing in Europe on the fi ner points of the Symphony. Bill Oman is the successful President of a large Con struction Company in San Diego. Peg Lavine is the assistant pianist to the New York Philharmonic Orchestra and Dorothy Lawrence is her per sonal secretary. Jane Besio and Hazel Bostick are designers for the U Itra, Ultra Fashion magazine. Your two Morgan boys, Ken and Bob, have obtained success as lawyers and are partners in the firm of Morgan Morgan. Margaret Hunter and Martha Thompson have married two prosperous business men and are making a place for themselves in the world. Beverly Crowley and Antoinette Dokianos now ho Id high teaching positions as tutors for the children of the exclusive Palm Beachers. Pat Measaw has now gone into professional photog raphy for John Powers. One of her favorite subjects is the famous Holly Howard, formerly June James. Merrill Whitman, Winifred Burrell and Joe Haley have journeyed West and are in a corporation which has control of several burlesque companies. Veronica Baxter and Betty Sweet are employed as nurses at Belleview Hospital in New York City. Mary Perreault has secured the position of head telephone operator in one of Washington's most prominate political buildings. Bob Bacon is now a successful Wall Street business man. Jane Macomber and Laura Lloyd are stewardesses, now employed at the Transatlantic Airways, on route be- tween New York and Paris. However she wasn't able to get in touch with Stanley Towne. He must be at his usual occupation . . . Loafing. Tom Coyle has succeeded the late Maurice Evans a nd is now one of the greatest Shakespearean actors of the day. After she had finished, I thanked her very much and left with a deep satisfaction of knowing that the class of 1947 was going to attain happy and prosperous goals for themselves.

Football The Potsdam High School Sandstoners opened their season by losing a hard fought game to a powerful Gouverneur team with a 20-7 score. Dick Jebo carried the pigskin over after neatly catching a well placed pass from Don Gallagher who also converted the extra point. The next game was played at home against the Malone eleven. The score was tied 6-6 at half-time, but the Sandstoners put on a little pressure in the next two periods and scored 33 points, holding Malone scoreless. Final score was 39-6. Ken Morgan starred with four touchdowns while Gallagher, Jebo, and McGee chalked up one apiece. Gallagher converted twice on passes to Hodge for the extra points. The following week found Saranac Lake on Potsdam soil. They went back with a 12-0 victory under their belts. In mud, sand and ankle deep water the Sandstoners lost their third game to Ogdensburg by a 12-0 upset. Our fourth defeat occurred when a powerful little Canton eleven came to Potsdam and with much determina- tion turned the Orange and Blue back with a 12-6 victory. By a pass from McGee to Morgan, Potsdam scored their only touchdown. Potsdam journeyed to Tupper Lake the following w eek to take a 26-6 defeat. Potsdam's only score came when another of McGee's left handed passes was com pleted to Hodge in the end zone. The final game of the season saw a comparatively small Orange and Blue team digging their way through mud and water against the powerful and unbeaten eleven. The Red Raiders came out on top and won 26-7. Six of our seven points were accomplished by one of the m any short passes tossed by Gallagher to Jebo. Hodge then caught a pass from Gallagher for the extra point. FIRST ROW (left to right)—Towne, Farrisee, Jebo, Chase, Hodge, Gallagher. SECOND ROW—Coach Harrington, Whalen, Manfred, Powell, Woodruff, Simpson, Jacot, Manager Jones. Basketball The highly successful Potsdam High School Basketball team, under the direction of Coach Harrington, jv opened the season with a close 35-33 win over Tupper Lake. Canton followed suit, 28-19'with the half-time score 18-4 indicating the nature of the game. Victory was finally achieved in the final seconds of the 'Burg game, the [ score being 26-24. The Orange and Blue first tasted defeat against Massena, 33-26. The Sandstoners returned ! to winning ways again, 34-20 over Saranac Lake. The best game for Potsdam was against Norwood, winning 40- Wr 22. Malone was the next victim bowing 36-24 to the league leaders. Potsdam then met a hot Gouverneur £- team, being defeated 47-35. The first half of the season ended with Potsdam never being out of first place, and at the time tied with Massena. W Another close Tupper game opened the second half. The score was 36-34 for Potsdam. Again Potsdam de- feated hapless Canton 40-32. The 'Burg game was hard fought but Potsdam came through 48-47 in a thriller. 1 Potsdam was unable to hold a last quarter lead losing an exciting game to Massena 46-45. By defeating Saranac 55-49, Potsdam moved into first place. After a slow start the Sandstoners romped over Norwood 44-27 to be fol- j lowed by the defeat of Malone 56-46. Being unable to hold a sizable lead in the closing minutes, Potsdam lost to Gouverneur, and first place. As the season ended Potsdam was tied with Tupper Lake for second. In the semi- finals against Tupper, Potsdam led at half-time 22-16 but never saw the lead after the third quarter, losing 45-37. On the All-Northern Team Hank Hodge was on the first team and Dick Jebo was in second. Junior Varsity Basketball FIRST ROW (left to right)—Lashomb, Loughren, Regan, McIntyre, Powell, McGee. SECOND ROW—Coach Molnar, Fiacco, McCann, Barnett, Lindley, Grace. J. V. Basketball Under the capable direction of its new coach, Mr. Molnar, the J. V. basketball team opened the first game of the year with the Tupper Lake Juniors who took a 42 to 21 decision. The J. V.'s first broke into the win column against Canton, overwhelming them 27 to 8. The Sandstoners continued their winnings by defeating the Ogdensburg five, 25 to 19. Traveling to Massena the boys took a close 18 to 17 win in a thrilling battle which found Massena closing a 7 point gap in the final minutes. Potsdam, then nosed out the visiting Saranac J. V.s 21 to 19 for their fourth straight win. The J. V.s then scored an easy 23 to 12 victory over the Norwood Kittens with all Potsdam reserves seeing action. Ma lone was the next victim of the Sandstoners going down to a 24-21 defeat in a bitterly fought game. Potsdam, enjoying a winning streak of six games, traveled to GouYerneur where they were upset 30 to 25. The J. V.s were defeated at Tupper Lake 25-20 to open the second half of the season. Potsdam then engaged the Ogdensburg Juniors in a thrilling battle—losing 26-24. The Sandstoners returned to the victory column as they walloped Canton 30-17. Against Massena, Potsdam chalked up their second victory of the second half with a 26-17 win. The Juniors then suffered their worst defeat when they were crushed 33-17 by Saranac. Spurred on by this reverse Potsdam bounced back against Norwood defeating the Kittens 24-19. Malone was the next opponent edging out Potsdam 33-27. In the last game the J. V.s turned in a fine victory over Gouverneur winning 32-28. As the season closed Potsdam was in third place i n the J. V. League, one game away from the play-off berth. Their record of ten wins and six loses shows the fine work the boys turned in throughout the season.

Under the capable direction of Hershel Evans and with the assistance of Mr. Turcotte, the boys had a very successful season. The first game of the season took the Orange and Blue pucksters to Lake Placid where they were defeated by a brilliant Northwood sextet 16 to 4. The first home game for the locals found the Massena Raiders invading (_, Potsdam and capturing a 3 to 1 decision. The game was bitterly fought throughout and both sides contributed some outstanding hockey. The Sandstoners first broke into the win column when they overpowered a hapless Ogdensburg sextet 7 to 0. All Potsdam reserves saw action in this game and played a major portion of the last period. The next game of the season took the Potsdam icemen to Lake Placid where they participated in the annual hockey tournament. In the first round's play Potsdam ran roughshod over the Saranac Lake squad. The W final score was 10 to 0 in favor of the Orange and Blue. Advancing to the second round Potsdam again faced Northwood Prep. School sextet. Although they put up a bitter and gallant fight, they were edged out 6 to 4. The Potsdam skaters quickly and decisively returned to the win column when they, on the following Saturday ‘Y' whipped a hard fighting Norfolk team, 19 to 4. Again Potsdam reserves played a major part of the game and everyone showed up well. The final game of the season brough Rome Free Academy's team to Potsdam's ice. The two teams fought on even terms throughout the first period, but in the two final stanzas Rome's greater reserve L, strength was too much for the local sextet and they emerged on the long end winner 6 to 1 score. At the season's end the Orange and Blue had com-piled a record of 3 wins and 4 reverses, and had scored 48 points to their opponents' 33. This is truly a fine record for a team who has been out of active competition for over three years. Intramural Boys FIRST ROW (left to right)—Clarke, Mr. McMann, Thompson.

Ohio State, led by Merrill Whitman and Syracuse captained by John Clarke, met in the finals for the championship. Both put on a g reat battle to win, Syracuse emerging the victors. Mem- bers of the Varsity and Junior Varsity basketball teams served as officials for all the games. A letter will be awarded to team members who have played in two-thirds of the total games.

The club's membership is unlimited. Any- one may join, whether a member of a science class or not. This enables those who are in no science class to fur- ther their scientific knowledge and their technical skill through research and original work. As in the past, the club is looking forward to the Science Congress in which they have always played an active part. The Science Congress offers an opportunity for all boys and girls of the North Country to exhibit and discuss their projects in some branch of science. These projects are judged and prizes are awarded to the winners. At the present all the activities of the club under the direction of Miss Gollaher and Mr. Lewkowitz, the science teachers, are directed toward the preparing of these projects.

Dewey re- quested each New York State College to expand its faculty and facilities to the point where it could ef- fectively enroll twice as many students as its previous maximum enrollment. Up to that time, our peak matriculation had been 644 students in the fall of 1942. Today, Clarkson is training over 1500 students in engineering and business administration. In other words, the college has more than fulfilled Governor Dewey’s request. Clarkson College is proud of its extensive partici- pation in this enormous G. I. educational program, the most convincing manifestation of faith in higher edu- cation ever observed.
