Treasurer Modern education is not mere preparation for life, it is, in itself, a rich part of life. With this thought ever in mind, we seniors have brought our worlc here to a conclusion that brings us satisfaction. Our first few days as freshmen were, perhaps, bewildering, but with the aid of an excellent orientation program and the lcind of help of the faculty and upperclassmen, this feeling soon passed. ln October, we had our first opportunity to attend the annual l'lallowe'en party. Later, in December, we were proud to present our fashion show which was given in assembly. The freshman banquet, held in the cafeteria of the school of practice, was probably the outstanding social event of our first year. With Moving-Up Day, we assumed a new role, that of upperclassmen, juniors. ln the fall of 1933, we returned to Potsdam Normal School filled with new energy and enthusiasm for our worlc. Under the lcindly and capable guidance of Miss Brumelle and Mr. Spurbeclc, we brought our junior year to a most successful close. The gala events of Junior Weelc remain firmly fixed in our memories. Our assembly program, class banquet, and junior dance combined to make this weelc the success it was. Moving-Up Day, at the end of our junior year, brought to us the realization that we were seniors, and had but one year remaining in which to secure all the benefits that the school offered. The first days of our senior year slipped rapidly by.The senior banquet drew near, the senior ball became only a pleasant memory. Carried with us during our three years here were our class song, composed by Elizabeth Robbins and Adam Declcer, our class colors, green and gold, and our class flower, the forget-me-not. These symbols served well as a unifying linlc, binding us together through our life here. Moving-Up Day in our last year was not untinged with sadness. l-lowever, we could relinquish our position as seniors, feeling that we were about to enter our chosen work. 47 3 Q ' w -.

Treasurer Keeping before us the words, Ever toward the light, we, the class of '36, began our second year with our membership considerably increased by the addition of the Crane sophomores of last year. We are fortunate that a greater variety of talent has been added to a group already gifted. From the faculty we chose Dr. Stevenson and Miss Owens as advisors. They have proved their loyal leadership through unfailing interest and generosity. We feel that the junior year is one of the happiest of all. With the first feelings of apprehension and dread removed, we now look to the senior year as the culmination of our desires, graduation and its minor misgivings, a hoped-for climax. It is with courage and hopefulness that we turn our glance to the future. Our life this year has been brilliantly sprinkled with social events-the greatest of these being Junior Weelc. This commenced with a tea on Wednesday, followed by a festive banquet on Thursday, and concluded with a ala dance on Friday night which will not soon be forgotten. Our competitive play, The Jeweled I-land, by Charles George, is also worthy of mention, having brought to light some talent which was heretofore unsuspected. We are sure that Junior Weelc with all its gaiety will be treasured by us as our oustanding achievement of the year. As we review the year, memories of new obstacles surmounted, new responsibilities shouldered, new achievements and successes obtained, come before our eyes,and we hope that we may face the future with a staunch determination to malce use of all our energy, enthusiasm and ability.

Vice-President Virginia Catlin . . Secretary June Knight . . Treasurer ln September, 1934, Potsdam was presented with nearly two hundred eager freshmen -new material for the Potsdam Normal School. After registration, school life started with a picnic held at the athletic field where games, stunts, refreshments and dancing brought us into contact with many of the upper classmen and teachers as well as with members of our own class. For several weelcs following, church receptions, sorority and fraternity parties lcept us busy and also introduced us to many more people con- nected with the normal school. Just before Thanksgiving vacation, a tea and dance were given in the main corridor and gymnasium. l-lere, a most welcoming atmosphere was created through the efforts of Dr. Haggard and the various conscientious committee members. Volunteer committees, with Margaret Santway as general chairman, were in charge of our second tea, given in honor of the guest slcaters for the ice carnival. The Deep Sea Dance, our informal, depicted sea life both through the unusual orches- tration of the dance selections and through the marine decorations. Much to the dis- appointment of those who spent hours in their preparation, the fish-programs were at the last minute discarded for some of the conventional cardboard type. Our forum this year, we feel, was one of our oustanding classes. Meeting as we did in small groups, more interest and response were obtained from the individual girls than would otherwise have been possible. Each member of the class feels that she has been benefitted greatly by this course. At the close of an eventful year, we loolc forward to another year equally as successful. 62 .K NN ik, SXXWM S I WNW 0 ? U f -Er. . - If m -:,f.V'?'+--E. F I: ,A 0 Q46 Y EAR Q mmf , WMM If C!

Included in this organization are several committees: the social and welfare committee, the Finance committee, the public performance committee, the assembly committee, the athletic committee, and the scholarship committee. Each one is under the guidance of a faculty advisor. The assembly committee provides us with interesting and educational programs. The public performance committee gives us excellent entertainments. The activities of the social and welfare committee consist in broadening the social contacts within the association body, in increasing extra-curricular activities, and in distributing credits according to the point system. The aim ol the scholarship committee is to advance the interests of culture and citizenship in the school. The Finance committed recommends and maintains a budget Ior the various needs ofthe association. The athletic committee supervises all the athletics in the school, including the annual ice carnival. The members of these standing committees are elected by each of the Tour classes. The aim of the Student-Faculty Association is to promote good will and cooperation between students and faculty, thus malting the management ol school government of greater interest to all. 67 Caldwell, Burnett, Giles, Morris, Wolfe, Tulloch, lreland Smith, Wells, Church, Dr. Haggard, Barber, Gwynn, l.aWall, Gray, Mayne WOMEN'S STUDENT COUNCIL OFFICERS Janet Wells . . . . . .

Treasurer The Womens Student Council is composed of the dean of women and nineteen members including the officers. Each spring during the annual election, the officers of the Womens Student Council for the following year are chosen by the student body. The members, six seniors, four juniors, one sophomore and four freshmen are chosen through class election. The function of this organization is to formulate rules for student conduct, to govern the conduct of social affairs, and to malce and regulate freshmen rules. Whenever offenders are penalized, the decision of the council is final, except in cases affecting a student's relation to the school, Many changes in school government have already been successfully brought about, and each year brings other improvements. The Womens Student Council talces entire responsibility for arrangements for Moving- Up Day. lt also plays a large part in all commencement functions, malcing preparations for all the events during that time. ln February of this year the senior members of Women's Student Council attended a Vocational Day Conference at St. Lawrence University, the purpose of which was to give those attending a chance to learn ofthe possibilities of vocations in different fields. During the winter a series of teas was held for the matrons of the rooming and sorority houses in order that they might become better acquainted with the objectives of the Women s Student Council. 68 .5,,,f' Dr. Voelker, Wade, Regan, Ferszt, Hathaway, Baritaud, Rescigno MEN'S STUDENT COUNCIL OFFICERS Harmon Wade. . . . .

The men by means oi the council have adequate representation in the school's activities, a large share in its responsibilities, and an opportunity for direct presentation of their problems and plans to their representatives. Among the numerous functions of the council are: the orientation of entering men students by assisting them in becoming acquainted with their academic and campus lite, the initiation ol such rules as are necessary forthe proper conduct of student life, and the promotion of social programs and outdoor recreation. The council consists of three seniors, two juniors, one sophomore, one freshmen and the Faculty advisor. The Men's Student Council now has a share in initiating and legislating new policies in school activities equal to that of the Women's Student Council and the Faculty Council. A smolcer, held at the beginning oi the year, brought about a spirit conducive to good fellowship among both faculty and undergraduates. Another pleasant social gathering arranged for by the Men's Student Council for the men of the school was the banquet held in March. 69 INIataIie Sanders Beatrice Lathrop .

It is through this First etlicient board and its suc- cessors that the Pioneer has become the pride ol every normal school student. With each new year have come new ideas and improvements until our year boolc for several years has won First or second place in competitions with other year boolcs published by similar schools. It has been the custom for the members ol each retiring board to appoint from the senior class ol the following year those students which they believe will most success- fully carry on the worlc of the l3ioneer. From the ranks ol the underclassmen there are also selected several assistants to aid in each ol the three departments and to receive the necessary training so they may be better prepared to carry out the worlc in the luture. The Pioneer board is divided into three departments, editorial, business and art. Each division is directed by a senior, who is assisted by a laculty advisor and under- classmen. This year Dr. West, as business advisor, has ably Filled the great vacancy lelt when the illness of Mr. Van l-lousen forced him to resign. Qnly through cooperation and hard worlc has the Pioneer stall been able to publish a year boolc which every student might cherish as a remembrance of his Potsdam Normal School days.

Membership requires the attainment oi a B average, or better, lor at least three semesters. While scholarship is the major requisite in Sigma Pi Sigma, it is by no means the only one. l'ligh ideals, leadership, and a desire lor further achievement are qualities which Sigma Pi Sigma endeavors to foster. -lwo meetings are held each month, both oi which are social and business. It has been the custom to spend the early part of the spring discussing boolcs and sources for the senior essay contest. The main event oi the year is a banquet held during Senior Week, to which come both alumni and student members. The convocation ol the Grand Chapter was held this year at Geneseo State Normal School. We are proud that one of our members, Eleanor Bradley, was chosen last spring as the Grand President of the state for this year. Two delegates, a junior and a senior, besides the Grand President attended the convocation. These delegates brought bacl4 suggestions and renewed enthusiasm which will stimulate Sigma Pi Sigma in Potsdam to greater and finer endeavor. 74 L. Wolfe, E.

Students of the Music Supervisors Course, with an average of B for two consecutive semesters, are eligible to membership. The objectives of the fraternity are: to create and foster fellowship among students and teachers of public school music, to obtain a higher degree of musicianship as indi- viduals and as a group, to foster loyalty to the Alma Mater. This year an effort was being made to bring to students and towns-people a series of excellent concerts given by performers who are outstanding artists of today. Hl'lansel and Gretelf' l'lumperdinclc's fairy opera, brought an evening of pleasure to young and old alilce. Morton Gould, a promising young pianist from New Yorlc, pleased his audience with his interpretations, improvisations and original compositions. The last concert of the series was presented by the Manhattan String Quartet. This group gave a concert of chamber music. Student and faculty recitals were planned also. The first one was given by students of the voice teachers. These recitals were open to the public.

Faculty Advisor The International Relations Club is a unit of an organization sponsored by the Carnegie Foundation lor the promotion of better relations throughout the world. There are over six hundred such groups in colleges in many parts of the world. This club is not a social organization, the members discuss problems of international significance at each meeting. The main purpose is to promote good feeling and better relations among the nations of the world. The club has a limited membership of twenty-Five students, all of whom must maintain a C+ average in scholastic work. Among the activities that the organization sponsored during the year were a radio broadcast over WCAD, St. Lawrence University, Canton, in which Edgar Smith, Dorothy Betts, Edith Marks and Gabriel Rescigno participated, and the sending of two delegates, Harmon Wade and Gabriel Rescigno, to the Fourth Annual Regional Conference of the Middle Atlantic States, at Penn State College, Pennsylvania, last November. Through various channels the l. R. C. has established itself as an active organization on the campus. The club members wish to express again their sincere appreciation to Dr. and Mrs. 0. C. Whitney, who have been most kind in allowing their home to be used lor club meetings. lt is because of their generosity that the club has been able to maintain its traditional informal atmosphere by meeting away from the academic atmosphere of the campus. 78 Woodside, Armentrout, Gosier, Perry, Tiffany, Tracy, Taylor, Ellsworth, Perry, Sturgen, Cushman, Carvel, Gorman, Mattis, Wilder Thompson, Smith, Whittaker, DelCostello, McAndrews, Dawson, Grace, Linder, Schwartz, Bandy, l-lart, Hayes, Fleury, Betts, Cougler, Gale Smith, Daniels, Smith, Richards, Fox, Goodnow, Perry, l-ligby, Paige, Jukoski, Pratt, White, Greenizen Stone, Perry, Campbell, Kirkey, Ireland, GroveJr,HBeach, Tupper, l-lewlett, Mills, Reynolds, Jenne, e ers Ward, Drake, Vinson, Edwards, Miss Owens, Gray, Marks, Miss Bush, Rosenburgh, Giles, Knight, Ryder Y.

Miss LeMoyne Qwens The Potsdam State Normal School Chapter of the Young Women's Christian Associa- tion originated in T992 when five young women, interested in the promotion of good fellowship, and the advancement of physical, social, intellectual, and spiritual growth, united their efforts toward such a goal. Since that time there has been a steady develop- ment, until this year there is a membership of over eighty. Election of officers is held bi-annually to enable different girls to develop leadership. Meetings are held on the first and third Mondays of every month, the first meeting being a business meeting, the second a social meeting. At the beginning of each year a beautiful and impressive candlelight service is held, during which new members are taken into the organization, and old members renew their affiliation. The officers elected the previous spring are in charge. Gala Week is held the first week in May. At this time candy, hot dogs and other attractive eatables are sold. The total receipts from these sales are given to the welfare commmittee. Every summer delegates are sent to the Silver Bay Conference where many inspirational subjects are discussed by able leaders in the respective fields. This year a student con- ference was held on our own campus, another great step in advance. The Y. W. C. A. strives to develop those qualities in its members which will make them worthy citizens and better teachers. 79 Brealcy, Porter, Connolly, l-lart, Strader, Cutting, Call, Fenlon, Ballard, l-looker, Thompson, Baker, Greenizen, Thompson Boclcenheim, Dean, Woodside, Armentrout, Gorgan, Goodnow, Dean, Tiffany, Fenlon, Bechaz, Vinson, utton Todd, M.

The organization vvas under the guidance of Dr. James B. Palmer, then head of the Rural Education Department, and Miss Ethel Bennett. ln the fall of 1933 Dr. Burge replaced Dr. Palmer as head of this department. Miss Bardwell, who had taught in the Potsdam State Normal School during the previous summer, was added to the staff in the fall of 1934. The purposes of the American Country Life Association are: to promote discussion of problems and objectives in country life and to facilitate their solution and attainment, to further the efforts and increase the efficiency of persons and agencies engaged in this field, to disseminate information calculated to promote a better understanding of country life, to aid in rural improvement. Another purpose of the club is to afford recreation for its members. This has been accomplished through parties, informal dances, picnics and banquets. Such parties are valuable experience for students who are loolcing forward to teaching in rural schools, since the rural teacher should be a community leader who can successfully organize social gatherings. Numerous plans are novv under vvay which will malce the club of greater value to those participating in its activities. Any student interested in rural life is eligible for membership in the club. 80 , . .fy,ig3g,,w. ww-r,5F'.51w.,,,f, .- r.,,,.lF,mF1:Nuigsff? . . l . -4. A -:wg Q . . 1 -- ' .

During the thirteen years ol its existence it has aimed to promote sportsmanship among its members and to encourage outdoor lite. Realizing the need for outdoor recreation, the hilcers talee advantage ofthe beautiful country at the loothills ol the Adirondaclcs. The hilcers' spirit is at its height as the members climb Catamount each spring. l'lilcing, slciing, slcating and tobogganing are im- portant activities ol the club, which is noted for its democratic spirit. Students from every course and organization come together to get out into the open. The members enjoy the hilce sponsored by the club every Saturday afternoon. Several times this year the hilcers have made their way to Sugar lsland, perhaps the main attrac- tion there being the swinging bridge. Two other very interesting hilces have talcen the members through the power plant at Sugar Island and the Elliott Hardwood plant just outside Potsdam. For many years the club sponsored Miramichi Camp on the Racquette River. Due to present economic conditions, this camp has been given over to a needy family. lt has become a tradition of the club to give a picnic each fall for new students. Some ol the other annual events are the Christmas party, the candy sale and the mountain- climb each spring.

Club membership is voluntary, but students are urged and encouraged to belong to these organizations, except in the cases where scholastic standing has prohibited participating in additional activities. All the clubs about the campus are divisions of the Student-Faculty Association, which, as a legislative body, serves to mold them into a unified whole. ln general, the purposes of the organizations are: efficiency in student government, wise and enjoyable use of leisure time and pleasant and beneficial social relationships. The activities are sufficiently varied in appeal to meet the demands of a large number of individuals. Membership is open to all in the Dramatic Club, the International Relations Club, the Y. W. C. A., the l-likers Club, the Literary Club and the Country Life Club. Those people enrolled in the music department are benefitted by participation in the Sym- phony Orchestra, the Band, the Phoenix Club, the Normal Choral Society, the Crane Mixed Chorus and the Crane Symphonic Choir. For the men especially, there is the Men's Student Council the Men's Glee Club and the Sigma Si ma Sigma Fraternity. Membership on the staff of the Racquette and the Pioneer aBords an opportunity for those interested in journalistic work. Recognition for outstanding work is given by Sigma Pi Sigma, Phi Sigma Mu and Alpha Sigma Omicron. The Women's Student Council, basketball teams for both men and women, and the various sororities offer additional activities for a large number of students. Membership and active participation in organizations are not only pleasurable and valuable during student life here, but also prepare students for leadership and organ- ization of clubs in the schools in which they will teach. 82 NORMAL SYMPHONY ORCHESTRA OFFICERS John Hurley . . . . .

Director The Potsdam Normal Symphony Orchestra is one of the oldest organizations of the school. It seems to be an unrecorded fact that an orchestra existed before 1884, however, it is lcnown definitely that Mr. l-lenry Watkins organized a normal orchestra in '84 which he conducted for several years after that time. Among the first conductors were Mr. pierce, Mr. Charles l.anphere, who is still a member of the faculty, and Mr. Carroll Vance. Other conductors were: Mr. Martin Amstead, Mr. James Garfield, who is the present leader of the band, Mr. Sherman Clute, now director of instrumental music in the Rochester School of Music, Miss Julia Crane, well lcnown to those connected with the normal school, Mr. Nelson Taylor, now in Binghamton, and Miss Chloe Stearns CMrs. Gainesj of Canton. When Mr, Bishop first toolc charge of the orchestra in 1920, there were twenty-three members. The orchestra today has sixty-seven participants. The literature of the orchestra today is of a higher standard than ever before in the history of this organization. The music formerly consisted of marches and compositions of a rather light character. Now the orchestra produces heavier and more difficult worlcs. An excellent example of the fine worlc done by this organization was displayed at the annual orchestra concert in February of this year. 83 White, Schachel, Maroney, Hastings, Bryant, Barber, Slater, Young, Van Winlcle, E.

Director Three bands are maintained at the Potsdam State Normal School. The Normal Band, whose picture you find in this boolc, contains about sixty players and is composed of both boys and girls. Then there is the Girls' Band of fifty pieces which is quite a novelty. Although we find girls playing in nearly all of the school bands today, we seldom find one made up entirely of girls. The Boys' Band, as the name implies, is made up entirely of boys, it numbers thirty-five members. These bands hold regular rehearsals every weelt. All these bands play for school functions, give assembly programs and concerts, and furnish music for many civic affairs. The Normal Band and the Girls' Band were the guest organizations at the Watertown Music Festival in 1933. Every year the three bands act as host to the high school bands of northern New Vorlt on Band Day at the annual music festival held at the normal school in May. All the bands have complete instrumentations. The worlq is carried on under the direction of Mr. James A. Garfield. 84 I Rundell, Otto, Smith, l-lorne, Phillips, Barns, Sabin, Vermillion, Bryant, l-lastings, Jones, Young Barton, Bamman, von Storch, Wolfe, Breslin, Walsh, Neubach, Lehn, G. l-loward, Hemingway, B, l-loward, Wolfe l-lolford, Cohen, Sweet, Mellor, Talbot, l-luson, Fritz, English, Murphy, Rutherford, Byer Westcott, Norgren, Carpenter, Smith, Olcott, Miss i-losmer, Mrs. Young, Sheffield, Oberriter, Barber, l-larper, Crippen PHOENIX CLUB OFFICERS Elizabeth Sheliield . . . . . . .

The First concert was presented in 'l895. The group is composed ol the girls lrom the senior, junior and sophomore classes ol the Crane Department, Under the slqilled leadership ol Miss l-lelen l'losmer, the members derive great pleasure from studying the best ol choral literature. ln 1999, the phoenix Club won the state prize at New Yorlc City in the choral contest sponsored by the New York State Federation of Music Clubs. By the same federation the group was again awarded First prize at Watertown in 'l934. Alter Christmas vacation this year, the club started preparation lor a concert to be given during March at the Convocation ol the Eastern District ol the National Federation ol Music Clubs in pittsburgh. Every etlort was made to enable the girls to go on the trip. For the purpose ol raising money, the phoenix Club Fare was held during the last ol February. A considerable amount was obtained, and this, with the pledges ol the indi- vidual girls, giits, etc., made it possible lor the Phoenix Club to attend the convocation in Pittsburgh. Another activity oi the group was to participate in the production oi 'KAida, pref sented in Watertown under the auspices ol the State Federation oi Music Clubs. 85 Tilden, Stone, Edwards, Fry, Morse, Karpinski, Marienhagen, Emery, Traxell, Campbell, Tupper, Morris Gwynn, Beach, Paserb, Carpenter, Sullivan, Cramer, Murray, Switzer, Bellinger, Schachel, Miles Grover, Allen, Ferris, Forgione, Warren, Peckham, Schermerhorn, Whittaker, Busch, Wells Stairs, Webb, Caldwell, Mrs. Wimble, Mrs. Young, Miss Owens, Scoville, Willard, Horne NORMAL CHORAL SOCIETY OFFICERS Olive Peckham . .

It was originally organized lor the members ol the Special Music De- partment, but as the work ol this chorus became better recognized, students from other departments desired to participate in the concerts, also. Since 1915 the chorus has gradually grown from a membership ol twenty-live to seventy-tive. Every year the Normal Choral Society presents a concert consisting ol one large number which is usually a cantata, and several smaller numbers. These are chosen with the purpose in mind ol promoting knowledge and appreciation ol the liner type of three and lour part singing lor women's voices. ln 1926 Miss Skinner resigned the direction of the chorus to Mrs. Qlwen Young, who retained that position until 1932, when Mrs. Horace Bowman became conductor. ln 1933 Mrs. Young again resumed the work, keeping it until the beginning ol the second semester ol this year.

The chorus made its debut in 1932 in the singing of Hiawatha's Wedding Feast by Coleridge-Taylor. This attracted a great deal of attention and much favorable comment. ln 1939-33 during Miss Hosmer's ab- sence, Mr. Christy was the leader. That year was given over to participation in many assemblies and concert programs. ln December, 1933, with Miss Hosmer again conduct- ing, tfwe department gave a Christmas recital. The tone ofthe chorus had by then improved great y. The last part of the third year, January to June, 1934, was spent in the study of the Brahms Requiemfi This was sung on June 8, 1934, with an accompanying orchestra organized and conducted by Mr. Spurbeck, during the celebration which marked the fiftieth anniversary of the founding of the Crane Music School. This performance was one of the achievements of the chorus. The interpretation was unusually fine and every- one felt enriched by having heard this great masterpiece. This year, in January, to commemorate the two hundred and fiftieth anniversary of the birth of Johannes Sebastian Bach, the Crane Chorus sang the Bach motet, l'Jesu, Meine Freudef' For the rest of the semester, all time was devoted to the study of l-landel's Messiah, in preparation for its rendition at graduation. 87 Barns, Schermerhorn, Lehn, Holford, Talbot, Giblin, Hemingway, Neubach, LaWall, Miss Mathes, Walsh, Christy, Hurley, Moscoe, MacDonald, Lockwood, Rowe Rundell, Harper, Halferty, Horne, Otto, Fry, Cohen, Vermillion, MCC-Jill, McCaughey, Hollister, Decker, Lockyer, Helman Barber, Smith, Marienhagen, Howard, Bowman, Huson, Wolfe, Breslin, Mr. Christy, Williams, Ferszt, Feiclcert, Chwalkowslci, Mr. Bowman CRANE SYMPHONIC CHOIR Jeanette Breslin . . ..... Secretary and Treasurer Under the direction of Mr. Van A. Christy, the Crane Symphonic Choir, formerly lcnown as the Crane A Capella Chorus, has enlarged its repertoire and has built up an enviable reputation in this and in many other sections of the state. This chorus of forty-three voices has made many appearances this year. The first of its concerts was given in the Potsdam High School auditorium before those attending the Northern Zone Teachers' Conference. Foremost among its experiences during the year stands the trip to Albany in Qctober. The choir was invited to sing at two of the meetings of the Seventieth Convocation of the University of the State of New Yorlc held at the State Education Building. Here it was that the choir received an ovation. Shortly afterwards, the choir broadcast from WGY at Schenectady. Since then it has received numerous invitations to perform at normal schools and in communities all over the state. Also, it has been invited to broadcast over a nation-wide hoolcup from WCJV and associated stations. Some of these invitations could not be accepted, as further travelling would cost too much and would interfere with class worlc. The last concert was given here at the normal school during the spring term. Altogether, this year has been a gala one in the growth and development of the Symphonic Choir. Although comparatively few of its members have solo voices, the choir is proud of the balance and blend which has been attained. The chorus has also strengthened in general ensemble, in ability to interpret and in dynamic range. ln its repertoire, which includes both the modern and romantic schools in music, are songs demanding maturity and artistry in their singing. At the close of a most successful year, the choir, though losing many valuable members, feels confident as to its continued growth, both technically and emotionally. 88 Decker, Chwalkowski, Van Winkle, Loclcwoid, Feiilcert, l-lurley, Williams, Riggs, Moscoe, Wiedman, vans, e y l-lilts, Butts, Fults, l-lanes, Mr. Christy, Donovan, Ferszt, Aebischer, McGill, Maroney, McCrum Peet, Whitman, McCaughey, Slater, Marlette, I-lollister, Whitney, l-lannahs, Wright Mr. Bowman, Smith MEN'S GLEE CLUB Mr. l'lorace Bowman . .... . Director Edgar Smith . . . ..... . Accompanist Directed by Mr. l-lorace Bowman, the lVlen's Glee Club is one of the best lilced or- ganizations ol the Potsdam State Normal School. Membership in the Glee Club is re- quired ol all Crane men but is open to any other men who are interested. Une of the aims ol the Menls Glee Club is to give everyone a lcnowledge ol suitable glee club songs for high schools as well as those ol college level. The First partol this year was spent in learning a great number ol songs and in discussing their relative merits and ditficulties. The second part ol the year was spent in giving the members a lqnowledge ol the proper way to present concerts. ln relation to this, numerous concerts were given both in Potsdam and in surrounding districts. Several radio concerts were also given. Most ambitious plans have been made lor the glee club in the coming season ol 1935-36, foremost ol which are three and Four day tours to the ditlerent normal schools and high schools ol the state. And so, at the conclusion of another scholastic year, the glee club can face forward, confident because of successes achieved and hopelul for achievements yet to come. 89 Williams, Feickert, l-lollister, Ferszt, Lockwood, Bowman CRANE MALE QUARTETTE MEMBERS Walter Williams . . . . .

Director The Crane Male Quartette was organized in the lall ol 1930. Mr, Bowman, who became a member ol the laculty in the lall ol193Q, has since that time been director ol the quartette. The present members, all seniors, have been together since the lall ol1933. During the season ol1933-34, the quartette made several tours, covering approximately six thousand miles, giving concerts in all sections ol the state. Appearances included trips to Cornell University, lfeuka College, and Cortland Normal School. The quartette gave one coast-to-coast broadcast over the Columbia Broadcasting System with the Men's Glee Club. lt was heard frequently from WCAD at Canton and was featured on a weekly program from WFBL in Syracuse. The season ol1934-35 increased the popularity ol this group. ln October the quartette made two appearances at the Convocation of the University ol the State ol New York, and on the same trip gave a broadcast lrom WGY in Schenectady. The group also ac- cepted an invitation to sing at the convention ol district superintendents held in De- cember at the pennsylvania l-lotel in New York City. Three appearances were made at these sessions, in addition to a concert given at the New Paltz Normal School. The high-light ol the trip, however, was a coast-to-coast broadcast over the NBC network from Radio City, It is the hope ol their many lriends that the ciuartette may continue as a unit in the concert lield alter graduation lrom this school. 90 1 1 4 ii 'ffaMQ,+y'.5Qv,! , TTT Attendant Jones, Oueen Giblin, King Keeler, Attendant English WINTER CARNIVAL The Filth annual Clarlcson-Normal Winter Carnival, with its two nights of slcating activities, set a precedent for other carnivals to follow.

Again this year the management arranged for a number of encounters with other normal schools and colleges of the state, and while our boys failed to win a majority of these contests, nevertheless, the result was not unsatisfactory. lt is hoped that these athletic relationships with other like institutions may be continued. The most extensive trip made by our team during the season was to Central and Western New Yorlc, at which time Rochester Business Institute, Mechanics lnstitute of Rochester and Buffalo State College were met. The First two games resulted in losses, each by a single point, while the Butlalo game gave us our worst set-baclc of the season, the opponents winning by a 40 to Q9 count. The schedule for next season is not complete, but it will include games with Plattsburg, Geneseo, and perhaps Oswego and Broclcport Normals, Mechanics lnstitute and Rochester Business lnstitute, together with the usual series of games with the Clarlcson and St. Lawrence freshmen teams. The school will lose through graduation four stellar court performers in the persons of Harmon Wade, Donald Swan, John Moscoe and Fay Bulles. Their loss will be lelt lceenly, and unless new material is found in our entering class this fall the prospects for a strong team another year are not particulrly bright. Qi the varsity squad, there will remain Lansing Peluso, Emmet Regan, Ronald Kelley and Loren Bulles. 92 wi Baritaud, Oberriter, Kelly Bulles, Julcoslci, Dolabie, Eamon 1935 PING PONG CHAMPIONS Peluso Snell, Jukoslci, Burke, Hayes Tenney, Cfostello, LaRue, Paige, Hathaway 1935 GIRLS' INTER-CLASS BASKETBALL CHAMPIONS 93 ftlllli Whitman, Riggs, Hurley, Cassidy, Roda, Nettleton, Bacon, Lockwood, McCaughey McGill, Kelly, Chwallcowslci, Fenlon, Balriitaiid, Vgiedman, Van Winkle, Murray, Katner, Lockyer, oc ey, escigno Feiclcert, Smith, Marlette, Dr. Stevenson, Ferszt, Mr. Bowman, Moscoe, Frost, McCrum Wright, Decker, Butts, Peluso, Evans, Peet, I-lannahs SIGMA SIGMA SIGMA Established 1932 OFFICERS Walter Ferszt . . . . . . .

At the present time the council is composed ol ten memberswone junior and one senior member elected from each sorority. They are in charge of all matters pertaining to the social aFlairs ol the sororities. The lnter-Sorority Council is fortunate to have Dr. C. Patience Haggard, Dean of Women, acting as faculty advisor. During Freshman Week in September, the council gave a tea for incoming women students, as its part in the orientation program. The lnter-Sorority Ball, one of the oustanding social functions of the school year, was held in the normal, auditorium on the Sth of April.
