BELOW, from top to bottom: Fred Dart, Boys' State; Diane Elliott, Girls' State; Marilyn Pa- quette, D.A.R. Special Awards Empire Boys' State is sponsored by the American Legion. Every year the Junior Class elects a boy to represent the school. Attended by junior boys from all over the state, it is or- ganized to acquaint them with and educate them to the functions of a democratic govern- ment. Last year the boy selected on the basis of scholarship, personality, leadership, and extra curricuiar activities was Fred Dart. Empire Girls' State sponsored by the Ameri- can Legion Auxiliary has been in operation- for seven years but last year was the first year that Potsdam was invited to participate. Simi- lar to Boys' State this is to acquaint the girls of the state with the running of a democratic government. The representative chosen by the junior class was Diane Elliott, selected on the basis of scholarship, personality and leader- ship. The New York State Organization of Daugh- ters of the American Revolution sponsors a Good Citizenship Pilgrimage Essay Contest for high school girls throughout the state. The title of the essay this year was Why Does the History of Our Republic Give Us Faith in the American Future? Marilyn Paquette was chosen from the three candidates voted by the Senior Class. Last April at the annual Science Congress held at the Campus School in Potsdam, stu- dents from northern New York competed for the prizes, the top two being scholarships to St. Lawrence University and Clarkson College. Stuart A. Collins Jr. won the scholarship of- ered by St. Lawrence University. This year the Herald Recorder, a local news- paper, gave the Potsdam High School an op- portunity to have its own news column. The writings of three English students were sub- mitted to the Herald Recorder which chose Pat Walker to write the column. An cJratorical contest sponsored by the American Legion for the purpose of creating interest in and respect for the basic principles of our government was won by Donald Bar- nett. C,0SS History Hi Seniors! Remember four years ago when we entered the strange and bewildering life of high school. Small and insignificant the girls idolized the manliness of the senior men while .the boys shined in intramural sports. Shy and frightened we stu- died hard copying answers in our book reports, diligently learning the Study Guidance and the correct way to read on the metronoscope. In our sophomore year we were sophisticates of the school and even lowered ourselves to speak to the freshmen. Our social life was fast and gay and already had begun to domin- ate our long hours of hard study. We, in our Junior Year, were really upper classmen, for physically and mentally (may be) we were arriving at matur- ity. As a working body, we staged a successful magazine sale selling more subscriptions than any other class. This marks the year that our belief in Santa Claus was shattered by our realistic social studies teacher. We held various vie dances for class funds, among them the famous Who's Who Dance. Our big social event was the Junior Prom, Fiesta in May at which we all worked hard. The thrill of the year came on Class Day when we marched proudly to take our place in the balcony. Seniors at last, we ruled the roost from Room Seven. How hard we all worked to make a success of the Senior Jam- boree and, despite rainy weather, made our quota. What fun the senior girls had in giving the football team the annual L. B. B. Banquet and how the night light was kept burning by the Yearbook Staff! We shall never forget the last fling to- gether as seniors of P. H. S. at the senior banquet and ball. Our high school years have passed quickly but the lasting memories of thrilling games, the roar of the cheering section, the team's courage, our missions to the office, and medical room for tardy excuses and the love affairs by the lockers in the halls still remain. Now, as a group, we are divided; each classmate is going his own separate way and we wonder if we shall ever meet again. JUNIOR CLASS OFFICERS: L. Powell, Business Manager; M. Stone, Treasurer; A. Morgan, Secretary; R. McGee, President; S. Howlett, Vice-President. The Junior Class, under the guidance of Mildred Stiles, successfully carried out its magazine drive and later in the fall spon- sored a play Snow White and the Seven Dwarfs. The members sold refreshments at one of the home football games and gave several vie dances throughout the year. Once again, at Christmas time, they pre- sented the Holly Hop. The major event of the year, the Junior Prom, was held on April 30th, bringing the year to a successful con- clusion. FRONT ROW: B. Burdick, M. Collins, L. Powell, S. Howlett, M. Stiles, Advisor; M.
