Life with all its opportunities and with all its troubles is ahead of us. Vi'e must overcome all difficulties Hlld make the best of all our opportunities. Throughout our lives we will always remember our high school with loving interest. WVe have spent four happy yea1's within these walls, and we will regard these years as some of the most pleasant of our life. I, myself, as Editor of THE CJIIACLFI, have enjoyed my work on the magazine. I shall review the year of 1930 again and again, and shall always think of the hearty co-operation I have received. Although the work has not been very easy, I have not minded one bit of it since I have had such gallant workers and assistants. It was a great honor for me to be chosen as Editor, and I am very grateful. I hope you have all been satisfied with our magazine this year and will give hearty sup- port to its publication in the future. D.

We feel that our efforts have been very successful and gratifying, and hope the students have developed a slight feeling of pride for their publication. Like- wise, we wish to thank the faculty advisors, Miss Boylan and Miss Woriiliam, for their keen interest and whole-hearted co-operation with us in bettering our magazine. ' To the Seniors We Wish to say Good-bye.', To those who, for four years, have been faithfully with us in body and spirit and are now leav- ing us for-shall we say bigger and better aims? VVe present our best regards and Wishes for success. We especially regret the losing of those Seniors who have helped to better THE ORACLE this year. Let us hope We can live up to their standard next year. So we say 'tAu revoirv to our departing friends, the Seniors. D.

Let those who will, follow. ' ' A game of golf that lasts for four years may sound like an extraor- dinary performance, yet it is a matter of fact that the great golf tour- nament which the Ulass of 1930 is about to successfully conclude was started four years ago. No ordinary golf sticks were used such as brassies, mashies, drivers, or mid-irons, but we had equipment in the form of books labeled Algebra, Geometry, Literature, and Science. lVe had no golf professionals in attendance at our tournament, but were helped all along the way by our able teachers, all past masters in the great game of high school golf. At tirst we were all rank amateurs, but guided by our instructors we teed otf to a good start. Every September for four years we came back to try for new skills and new achievements. VVe had not only to play the game under the watchful eyes of our instructors, but we also had to show some initiative, some originality, some original devel- opment. VVe had to improvise ways and means of dealing with new problems a11d new situations. The obstacles and hazards to be met at each section of the green were not to be figured out in advance. They came to us unnounced, and we had to deal with them only on the basis ot' our own inherent skill Plllfl ability. At last most of our obstacles have been met, the fair way, smooth, green, inviting, lies before us, with commencement the happy ending of a four-year tournament of high school golf for the Class of 1930.

The call of life has come to us At last, for Woe or weal, Dear Classmates, we must hearken to Yon stirring bugle peal! Not all of us may reach the heights Of fortune or of fame, But our most humble tasks shall be Imbued with noble aim. So forward now, with heads held high, Let 1930 go Into the strife that lies ahead, To battle with the foe.

They have been very generous in their bequests and everyone is ecrtain to be pleased with his share. Vile, the tllass of 1930, of the t'ity of Rensselaer, in the tlounty of Rensselaer, and State of New York, being of sound mind, memory and understanding, do make our last will and testament in manner and form following: Fnzsr. To the members of the Junior t'lass, our successors, we be- queath our rules and customs. It is our ea1'11est hope that they prove worthy of this sacred t1'ust. Be it known: There shall be no whispering in study hall tthe t'lass of 1930 NEVER violated this regulationj. The home work shall be handed ill on time. Lessons shall be thoroughly prepared before entering the building. There shall be no mo1'e of the so-called Blutling for recitations. If these rules are duly followed, the aforesaid Juniors will become almost as clever as the t'lass ot' 15130. However, it is a recognized fact. that they can never surpass us. Sncokn. To the Sophomore t'lass, we bequeath a substantial fund which has been earned through conscientious study. This is to be ap- propriated to the memory of the tllass of 1930. A great bronze tablet shall be erected upon which the name of each member of the class shall be inscribed. This is to be erected in the Chapel in the presence of the members of the Board of Education, the faculty and student body. lt shall be the duty of each member of the Sophomore tllass to read these names at least once a day thereby gaining inspiration for future greatness. 'l'Hmn. To the Freshmen we bequeath our well-worn books. As they turn the well-thumbed pages, may they be cheered by thoughts of the great reward awaiting them as Seniors-the privilege of sitting in the classroom once occupied by the illustrious Senior Class of to-day. FoUuTH. To our teachers, who have been most kind, we leave a cherished memory. VVhen we are older Zlllfl have accomplished great things we hope that they who have been so patient with us will be proud l27l THE ORACLE to say that they taught us. We are sure that they will always remem- ber us because of our exceptional high-grade class work. It will be gratifying to know that they helped to lay the foundation on which we built our enviable careers. To their future classes, doubt- less, they will hold up the Class of 1930 as a model well worth following. FIFTH. To our Superintendent, Mr. Clark, who has always been so thoughtful concerning our welfare and pleasure, we will our best wishes and good faith. May succeeding classes also profit by his wise counsel and guidance, and co-operate with him, thereby rewarding him for his eitorts. SIXTH. To the Board of Education we leave the trust of building the new high school, which we hope will afford inspiration to future graduating classes in achieving the high standing of the Class of 1930. lt is our will that the old school be kept as a monument to our meory. In witness whereof, I hereunto place my hand and seal, this sixth day of J une, one thousand nine hundred and thirty. Signed, sealed, published and declared by the Class of 1930, as and for its last will and testament, in the presence of us, who have here- unto subscribed our names at the request of the above class, as wit- nesses thereto, in presence of the said testator and of each other, Class of 1930. ALICE Crinssna, '30. I28l WHO WASNT WHO IN 1930 'It was a typical gray day in New York City-rainy, foggy and sullen. I was restless and rather nervous, as I was to make my sing- ing debut that night, and I was sadly in need of something to distract my mind from the fact. I decided to go to the public library and read for a while, as I entered the building I noticed a tall, blo11d and rather capable looking woman in conversation with a girl at the desk. I looked more closely--could it bel?-certainly, VVhy Leora Geddes, what are you doing here?'i I exclaimed. She recognized me at once and modestly said that she was head librarian there. After a short conversation about R. H. S. she asked, Have you read Commentaries on Rudyard Kipling, by Hugh Z. Norton? The same Norton who was i11 our class of thirty at R-. H. S? I gasped. The very same, she replied, and he still keeps that initial Z that used to mystify us in days of thirty. His style is very virile and picturesque, she added. ' Then we began more reminiscing about the members of our class of '30 at R. H. S. Leora had heard that Elsie File and Ruth Gardiner had gone into the landscape gardening business. VVe recalled that they had lived in the country when they had attended R. H. S. and were new making practical use of the fact. On going to the theatre one 11igl1t, Leora had seen Helen Hofelich illld, La Verna Cook doing a sister act under the name of the Murray Sisters. XVe were not surprised when we remembered that back in the days of thirty they had been inseparable. I had received a letter from Dorothy Hidorn, a classmate at R. H. S., who was now Mrs. Charles Bruden and very happy. We congratu- late Mr. Bruder. As we talked, I had been idly turning the pages of VVho's VVho in 1940 Suddenly I saw: GIINICDONAIAD, HARRY G., G. of R. H. S., C. of '30, Banker and financier. Affiliated with banking interests. Presi- dent of American Association of Bankers. Recognized as outstanding American authority on international banking and finance. Quiet Harry had certainly stolen a march on us, in the days of '30 we had not suspected his talent for handling money. Excitcdly we began to search for news of our classmates. IVe were soon rewarded, under B we found a paragraph about our class wit, Frank Bailey. I will tell you just the main items in each paragraph. i29l THE ORACLE . HBAILEY, FRANIQ, G. of R. H. S., C. of '30. NVorld's champion typ- ist. Attained speed of 150 words a minute for one hour. We wondered if Frank made wise cracks while he attained this speed. VVe turned the pages eagerly and found listed HBERRY, EDWARD, G. of R. H. S., C. of '30. President of the largest Ice Company in America. Ed's experience in days of thirty is standing him in good stead now. Farther on we read, HBRANION, LILLIAN, G. of R. H. S., C. of 30. Perfects invention on automobile for utilizing the pressure on the floor boards exerted by passengers to stop the car when they think the chauffeur is driving too fast. Betty was always good at inventions, especially as excuses. Hastily turning to the C's we saw listed. HCARMEN, CLARA, G. of R. H. S., C. of '30. Famous authoress. Noted for such works as 'Dancing Girl' and 'The Visionf Her books are vivid portrayals of modern youth. Clara knew a lot about dancing back in 1930, and we imagine that her books are realistic. Here is what the books said about an athlete of ours: CRAIG, SEWARD, G. of R. H. S., C. of 30. Famous basketball player elected to tl1e all-American. Is married to the former Ruth Melius, also of R. H. S. Seward is to be congratulated for obtaining a modest and clever wife. We read: HCULVER, RALPH, G. of R. H. S., C. of '30. Construction engineer. Chief engineer of the Fderal Power Com- mission. This record speaks for itself. Next we discovered the name of CCDOLLXN, ROBERT, G. of R. H. S., C. of '30. Famous outfielder. At present has 11ot decided whether to sign up with the Giants or Yankees. Bob usually did take a long time to make up his mind, and then sometimes couldn't be bothered. Next we glanced down the page and sought the name of our illus- trious class president. Here it is, HDORE, LEON, G. of R. H. S., C. of 30. I30l WHO WASN'T XVHO IN 1930 t'Attaincd great fame as radio singer. Acclaimed as 'The lad with the silver voice. '. VVe imagined that he got his start in the operettas given by R. H. S. Farther on we found HGOEVVEY, KENNETH, G. of R. H. S., U. of 30. Professor of physiology at Yale. Ken always liked school, We imagined, because he stayed there so long. Next wc looked for some of the girls of our class. Oh, yes, if-HACIQ, ELEANOII, G. of R. H. S., C. of '30. Noted benefactress. Donates large sums of money each year to charity. Keep the good work up, Eleanor. You were always generous in days of '30. Next We read KosEGAR'rEN, HEIIMAN, G. of R. H. S., tl. of ,30. President of a firm which was at Nassau, N. Y. This tirm occu- pies the building which was formcry the piano factory at Nassau. This is what We read about another of our athletes: HNIENSING, RALPH, G. of R. H. S., C. of '30. Famous baseball pitcher, noted for his drop. Ralph is another star who began his ascent at R. H. S., and indi- rectly at the Miller diamond. We received our greatest thrill when we found HONDEIIDONII, JEANNETTE, G. of R. H. S., C. of '30. First Woman aviatrix to fly the Atlantic Ocean. Hailed as the sec- ond Lindy. Received tremendous ovation in Paris and U. S. YVC are proud to have such a famous person as a member of our class. Hurriedly We thumbed th epages, eager to gain more information. VVe saw listed PARKER, DAVID, G. of R. H. S., C. of '30. Noted physician, is married to the former Dorothy Grainer, also of R. H. S. Mrs. Parker ably manages the business affairs of her husband. We recalled that Dave Wanted to be a Dr. and also that Dot was al- ways a capable manager. We discovered HREED, WILLIAM, G. of R. H. S., C. of '30. Noted U. S. Senator from New York state, is married to the for- t31l 66 THE ORACLE mer Margaret Chestnut, also of R. H. S. Mrs. Reed is known as an ac- complished contralto singer. Bill was always fond of talking, and even took part in two debates in his senior year, when only one was required. HRICE, PAUL, G. of H. H. S., C. of '30. Chief forester of theU. S. Federal Reserve. VVe remembered that Paul was interested in trees. Now he can water them to his heart 's content. VVe skipped two names that were really important, and going back we found HCHESSER, ALICE, G. of R. H. S., C. of '30. President of the largest clothing establishment in America. Miss Gloria Pfiaester is manager of the business department. Alice always did have a lot to say about the way dresses should be made. Another paragraph contained the following: ACRISEDORPH, EDWARD, G. of R. H. S., C. of '30. President of the firm of Risedorph 8 Freehan, distributors of farm products. . t'Mr. KENNETH FREEHAN is also a graduate of R. H. S. These country boys will surely know their onions. Under the Sts we noted the name HSAGENDORF, VIOLA, G. of R. H. S., C. of '30, Secretary to the Vice-President of the United States. Farther 011 we read HSAMUELSON, HANNA, G. of R. H. S., C. of '30, also Graduate of VVil- ford Academy of Hair and Beauty Culture, is famed dressing hair. Hanna received a lot of practice fixing her hair back in the days of thirty. We are glad she put this to practical use. Another paragraph contained the name of SCOTT, FLORENCE, G. of R. H. S., C. of '30. Manager of the foremost ladies' riding academy in the land. Vile recalled that Florence rode horseback a great deal in the days of thirty. Still in the S's we discovered HSHARKEY, JAMES, G. of R. H. S., C. of '0. United States ambassador to France. Is married to the former Ruth Wiiidekiiecht, also of R. H. S. The ambassador's wife has gained notice by her skill at tennis. Now Jim can talk French all he likes. He is so fond of it. We E321 WHO WASN'T WHO IN 1930 imagine that Ruth corrects 11im occasionally. We noticed HSTOTT, CLARA, G. of R. H. S., C. of '30. Graduate also of Conservatory of Music at Troy. Famous con- cert pianist. VVe imagined that playing the church organ had aided her greatly. The last name under the S's was HSWINT, JOHN, G. of R. H. S., O. of '30. Noted cartoonist of the Albany Efvemwg News. NVe wonder if John got his start making cuts for THE ORACLE. Turning the page eagerly we saw listed HTENNANT, HARRY, G. of R. H. S., O. of '30. 'tLieutenant-Governor of New York State. Harry always was fond of state positions, but doubtful whether he could long hold one. Near the last we found named WVALTHER, Lois, G. of R. H. S., C. of '30. Graduate also of Feagin School of Dramatic Art. She portrays sophisticated America. Lois always could be sophisticated with distinction. And last of our classmates we found the names of HWVILSON, BEULAH, G. of R. H. S., O. of '30. Supervisor of the largest domestic science school in America. Miss M Innnnn PoLLocK and Miss EIJNAX Mosms, aso of R. H. S., are teachers there. Mildred and Beulah have always been domestic, it seems. And we wonder if Edna has smashed up her Oldsmobile and has obtained hey long wished for new Ford. So you see I spent a real profitable and enjoyable afternoon and found that public libraries are useful for something beside spoonsoring Li 6 romances. A.
