Treasurer Motto: Impossible is un-American Colors: Blue and White Class Poem The day draws near when from our school we'll go And we recall our joys, our sorrows, and experiences. To those who follow in our path, we say: Be not dismayed what ere the cost, Let courage be the rnainsail of your ship We knew not what before us lay V But brave of heart we dauntlessly Set forth to reach a goal so far so near. The way was rough, beset with trials, Great doubts loomed up that made our On, on we struggled, eyes ahead Till now we've reached that goal. Reluctantly we turn our ship From out the harbor of security Into unchartered seas and harsh reality. Farewell Roessleville. ho pe seem pale. CORALIE BRIND N , . school, and eager to parade their astounding vocabularies, the present seniors started their Roessle- Class History gf' AS it only yesterday or was it really 1933 when, still fresh from the simple existence of junior high tiffyf as P 3. ville high school course? Like a great eagle soaring into the blue, the ultra-modern clipper ship, Class of '37 took wing on the first leg of its round-the-curricula flight under the direction of two able pilots, Mrs. Doyle and Miss McAvoy. Captain Alice Brown, class president, saw that the passengers were made comfortable. Mrs. Doyle's ninth grade presented a pantomime for the P.T.A. and gave an Armistice Day program. In the spring it gave a bake-sale to make money, but the committee ate up most of the profit. To finish off, our first short hop, Miss McAvoy's homeroom gave a play, The Elopersf, while Mrs. Doyle's homeroom had a picnic at the waterworks. As sophisticated sophomores we flew right out in front with our play, Mammy's Little Wild Rose, which was very well presented and received. So, on with our flight. In September, 1935, we started our junior year as one class under Miss McAvoy's guidance. Soon the junior-senior basketball game occurred, but, unfortunately, we were the losers of both the boy's and girl's games. Time marched on, but paused at Easter, when the class gave the faculty a party. Most of us were surprised that the teachers were so friendly and looked forward with pleasure to the party we'd have the opportunity of giving them the next year. Although we tried hard to produce a play, eligibility rules had been passed, and the class found its best actors ineligible. We had to make a forced landing to take on a new captain, in January, when Chester I-Iaug succeeded Alice Brown, who became ill and had to leave school. Now, on our way again, amid the clamor of committees, a Iunior Hop, which was widely and cleverly advertised by Iack Heath, arose. Incidentally, profits from the big event substantially increased the amount in the class treasury. Our Balloon Shower was enjoyed by all, this being the first time one had ever been presented in Roessleville. To usher out the class of 1936 regally, we gave them a farewell picnic at White's Beach. At night on the bus coming home, we heard the broadcast of the Ioe Louis-Max Schmeling fight and almost had a private prize fight of our own to get seats in the bus that had the radio. Thus, another year had come and gone. Lessons had become harder, spring fever never more catching, but the junior class still maintained its high spirits and eagerly awaited the next fall, when they would attain the lofty rank of seniors. The last leg of our journey began with a bang! not a crack-up! An L.U.B.A., Let Us Become Acquaintedn Party in the form of a hot dog roast took place at Indian Ladder. We were warned by the treasurer that a financial mountain peak was looming in the distance, but we came smilin' through with a Halloween Dance, aided greatly by the scintillating rhythms of Gene Budini. We were still trying to build up a sound financial status, so we decided to have a Hard Luck Social or Depression Party, at which everyone wore tattered, old clothing, or was fined. Needless to say, the games, eats, and dancing put everyone in a jolly mood. December, 1936, found the curtain rising on the play we promised in our junior year, Little Sherlock, and the dancing and refreshments, coupled with the general good spirits of all those who had seen our delightful comedy, made Roessleville a haven of laughter and amusement all evening. During February our flight was saddened by grief at the death of Mrs. Doyle's mother. The next event which helped to round out our crowded schedule was the Valentine Party for the faculty. The bag busting contest was the favorite game of the evening and enjoyed as much by the teachers as by the pupils. With a great deal of self-confidence the seniors challenged the juniors to the annual basketball game. The seniors won the boy's trophy, but lost to the junior girls. As our final event before the senior formal dance, we gave the Senior I-lop, and true to our promise, we had a Balloon Dance. Everyone thoroughly enjoyed the entertainment provided by the seniors, and went to town, trucking to the swing provided by Al King. The passengers and crew, who are on the last lap of their journey, are looking forward to the two crowning events of the year, the Senior Ball and our Commencement. To the former we look forward with happy anticipation, to the latter, with mingled feelings of joy and sorrow-joy that we have reached our goal, sorrow, that we the class of 1937, after four years of working and playing together, must go our separate ways. The ominous Rocky Mountains CSenior Regentsj still loom in the distance like a forbidding evil waiting to destroy our ship, but all hopes are manifested that the plane will clear the highest peaks and land home safely in Iune, 1937. Now in a state of great excitement, the staff of the Roessleville Rouorron has set about preparing our year book for publication, and we hope it will bring joy, humor, and happiness to its many readers.

E, the most respected and highly efficient Seniors of Roessleville High School, District 2, Town of lz rA:','l Colonie, County of Albany, State of New York, having arrived at the parting of ways, after much forethought and consideration, have finally decided to part with Chow we hate toj some of our worthy gifts obtained while we were here in R.H.S. We hope those, to whom they are bequeathed, will profit much by them. . To the members of the faculty, we bequeath several fountain pens and boxes of writing paper which can be used to write fan letters to us. fOf course, we all expect to become famouslj To the class of '38, we leave' the responsibilities of being Seniors and hope that they will outgrow their adolescent manner sufficiently to maintain the proper degree of dignity. To the class of '39, we leave a generous share of the Honor Student's intelligence. To the class of '40, the infants 'we leave our accommodating ways and our willing acceptance of harsh treatment. The following are individual bequests: To our dean, Miss McAvoy, we leave a bottle of hair dye to touch up the silver streaks the worry of our class has added to her hair. To Mr. Wurth, in addition to the glue and adhesive tape left in preceding years, a card of safety pins to hold his Ford together until he gets a new Chevrolet. To Mn Mortensen, a parachute to add to the enormous pile of athletic equipment and to be used by the boys for pole vaulting in order to ease their sudden landing. To Mr. Clark, a new lab coat if the class has any money left. To the English teachers, a good-sized cart to carry the Proseand Poetry books around. To Pat Hoffman, to catch as they fall, William Sewell's torrent of vocabulary words. To the History C class of '38, our Current Events and American Observers. To the Student Council, a book on How to Railroad, the class of '39 into voting Yes on Proposed Amendments. To Harold Brown, Gerald Navilia's endless supply of breath-taking harmonica serenades to entertain next year's student body. To David Davis, Eddie Thomas' beautiful, long, curly eyelashes to assure success on his bicycle tours. To Iane McAllister,'the shoehorn on the desk in the Senior homeroom. We hear she needs it to assist her in getting into her basketball suit. To Alma Iewell, Betty Herchenrodefs few feet and inches C4',II J. ' To Eleanor Merkle, the remains of the Treasury after Ruth Ginter gets through with it. To Fred Lahman, Leonard Hunter's ability to relax. To Margie Abbott, Dorothy Scutt's height. To Paul Fredenburgh, Walter Ygler's Big Ben alarm clock to wake him up in class at five minute intervals. To Patsy DcSorbo, Fred Chesebro's prowess in athletics. To Peanuts Paterson, Ralph McDonald's teasing. We know he needs it. To Harry Schultz and Marcia Iewell, Ruth's and Fred's seats in study hall. fThis is a traditional giftj To William Sloan, Irma Laning's knack for thinking up arguments in history class. To the baseball team, some sticky paper to aid them in catching Hies. To Wilbur Lints, George Sheldon's blush to be used, when best, to uphold his modesty. To the janitors, any second-hand gum that may be found directly south of our desks tops. Lastly: We do hereby nominate and appoint, Charley McCarthy, for we know he will keep it quiet, to be executor of this, our last will and testament, and we hereby revoke all former wills by us made. 1 IN XVITNESS Wniamzor, we have hereunto subscribed our name, this fifteenth day of May, nineteen hundred and thirty-seven. Witnesses: This windy Saturday afternoon The solemn face of the clock Signed Senior Class of '37 VIRGINIA DEITZ Class Prophecy c ' The world has seen great changes since that day in Iune when the illustrious class of ,37 xl passed beyond the portals of R.H.S. to take their predestined places in the world. ,What ' has happened to them? Where have they gone? Let us tune in our television machine and find out. We spin the dial, the screen lights up, and an operating room appears before us. Look, here comes the famous surgeon, Chester Haug, followed by two nurses wheeling in a patient. Well, can you imagine? The nurses are Mary Macri and Mary George, and the patient is Walter Ygler, the big General Motors executive! Walter looks a bit nervous. He's probably heard that Chester and Myron Sunderland, the prosperous undertaker, are very friendly these days. Another member of the class of ,37 is employed in this hospital, and she certainly is seeing the inside of life. It's Adaline Hayden, and she is an X-ray technician. Let's give the dial another twirl and see what happens. Ah, here we are. The scene is an exclusive fashion salon, stylish stouts a specialty, run by those two famous dress designers Irma Laning and Rita Franconere. At one end of the room are Martha Dootz and Elizabeth Hill modeling the latest creations. Another spin lands us in Radio City. Oh, look! There's Grace Mirabile and I believe she's getting ready to sing. Yes, thereis Ruth Ginter preparing to accompany her on the piano. Let's look around a bit. Isn't that lean Hall? Of course it is. Iean is one of radio's foremost singers and is sponsored by a big toothpaste concern of which Edward Thomas is president. What's going on over here? Oh, now it all comes out, Gerald Navilia has just rendered one of his harmonica selections over Major Bowes, hour and the votes are pouring in too fast to be countedl Again the scene changes and we are this time in, of all places, a bowling-alley. Leonard Hunter, the new champion, is giving a few lessons to George Sheldon. It's about time George took some lessons.- Round and round she goes and where she stops nobody knows! This time she stops at Yankee Stadium, where the deciding game of the World Series between the New York Yankees and St. Louis Cardinals is being played. At bat for the Yankees is Fred Chesebro, flashy shortstop who took Frank Crosetti's job, while out on the mound is Ralph McDonald, the new speedball sensation. We hear Dizzy Dean is just a sub since Ralph joined the team. Say, whose nose is that protruding from behind that microphone? Why it's Iames Kneiperl Well, well, Iim always did have a gift of gab. The next spin takes us to an ultra fashionable beauty salon run by Coralie Brind and Betty Herchenroder. Donit look now but that's Dorothy Eckhardt, one of the creme de la creme of the society world, in the chair. Another whirl of the dial lands us in the oHice of the Secretary of Agriculture at Washington, D. C. And who do you think is the Secretary of Agriculture? None other than Ralph Grounds, who has no lessthan three private secretaries. Who are they? Why, of course they are that inseparable trio-Dorothy Scutt, Vera Smith, and Frances Litz. We are still in Washington, but this time at the U. S. Patent office. Look who just came in? lt is William Sewell, the famous chemist, who is applying for a patent on a new chemical process. Oh, oh! VVe seem to be back in school again. At the front of the room is Margaret Gaflie expounding the mysteries of shorthand to a group of promising young students. In another classroom Virginia Deitz is laboriously explaining the first principles of home economics to an aggregation of bright-eyed young lassies, who have heretofore been unable to boil water. I Another flip of the dial finds us in Child's Hospital, of which Anna May Bacon is head, and her assistarfts are Iosephine Iack and Benita Paige. The last whirl of the dial lands us in one of Manhattan's skyscrapers. In one of the ofiices we find Angeline Audi taking notes from Laurentia Hanbury, authoress of last year's Pulitzer prize winner. Also present is Frances. Miller, who does all that magnificent illustrating for Laurentia's books. Iust across the hall is the office of Alice Brown, one of the state,s most prominent woman lawyers. Foremost among her clientele is Mary Curran, the rich widow, who uses her woman's prerogative to change her mind and her will every week. And so, as all things must, comes to an end this prophecy.

The largest undertaking attempted was the Safety Campaign. In an effort to keep students safety-conscious, speakers were engaged, movies and posters shovvn, and an essay Writing contest conducted. An unsuccessful attempt was made to amend the Constitution. The amendment, if passed, would have established a Student Council Court. V The Council's objective was to better conditions by enforcing the traffic laws which were formed earlier in the year to eliminate traffic congestion in the halls and stairways. The faculty advisors Were: Miss McAvoy, Mr. Van Horn, and Mr. Wurth. The members of the Senior Council include: CRERALD NAVILIA, President VVILLIAM ISLOPFER RALPH MCDONALD ESTIIER SCHAFIIER FANNY PANNULLA VIRGINIA DEITZ GARY RICE IANE MCALLISTEIK RICHARD WINNE , Roessleville Post Since the fall of 1935, when the Roessleville Post was launched on its career with Mr. Clark as faculty advisor at the helm, it has sailed gallantly on through three successful years. This year the Post comes into port with twelve issues published bi-monthly to its record. The Roessleville Post became a member of the Capital District Scholastic Press Association this year and the members of the staff attended the Spring Conference at Hudson. The nine senior members were invited to the annual Activities Banquet, held at the DeWitt Clinton, April 15. They also received pins for their cooperation in making the paper a success. The staff includes: RITA FRANCONERE, Editor-in-Chief IRMA LANING, Art Director FANNY PANNULLA, Business Manager ELEANOR GROUNDS, Feature Editor GEORGE SHELDON, Boys' Sports Editor IANE MCALLISTER, Girls' Sports Editor WILLIAM SEWELL, Literary Editor MARY FRANcoNERE MARGARET GAEEIE INA LANING FRANCES LITZ RALPH MCDONALD IOHN MCGINN ELEANOR MERKLE PEARL NOACK DOROTHY SCUTT VERA SINIITH CHARLES VOSBURG Girls Basketball Team The girls, basketball season started the latter part of November with Miss Edna English as coach. These girls played with splendid spirit, gained a world of experience, and it is confidently expected next year's aggregation will show gratifying results. For the first time, this year's team attended a Play Day at Rensselaer High School in March.

That Good Gulf BENNETT'S Stop 22, Schenectady Road During early basketball practice, Mr. Mortenson noticed one boy limping around the Hoot, but who apparently had no reason to limp since he hadn't been in the scrimage yet. The coach walked up to him and asked an explanation. Immediately Red Hutton answered, Well you see, I'm a little stiff from bowlingf' Mr. Mortenson shouted: I don't care where you're from, get into that scrimmage. The little city girl stood and watched the farmer milk the only cow he had. The next morning, he was very much excited to find someone had 'stolen his cow. Farmer: Drat that thief that stole my cow, he's miles away from here by now. Little Girl: I wouldn't worry about it Mister. He can't get so very far away with it, cause you drained her crank case last night. COCOIOOOOOOIOOOOOOOOOOOO0000000000OOIIOOOOOOOOOOOCOOOOOOOOCOOOOOOOOOOO Ierry Navilia: That new farm hand of ours is awful. Willie Klopfer: How's that?

Mr. Wurth stopped to talk with a little girl making mudpies on the sidewalk. My goodnessf' he exclaimed, you're pretty dirty, arenlt you? Gert Miller: Yes, but Fm prettier cleanf' Miss B. Zuend: Wilbur, what are liquid assets? Wilbur Lints: Watered stocks. We've heard all about the absent-minded pro- fessor who poured syrup down his back and scratched his pancake. But how about the one who poured catsup on his shoe and tried his sphaghetti? Miss Riegel: Chester, parse this sentence, Iim married Sue. Chet Haug: Iim is a common noun because it,s the name of something and is quite common. Married conjunction because it joins Iim and Sue. Sue is a verb because she governs Iim. Dorothy Mason: Why that's a funny pair of socks you have on--one red and one blue. Bud Shriver: Yes, and I've got another pair just like them home. Then there was the deaf and dumb man who had a nightmare and broke all of his knuckles on the bedpost screaming. The golfing preacher had been defeated by one of his parishioners. Cheer up,', his opponent said, remember you win in the parish, you'll be burying me some day. But even then,', said the preacher, it will be your hole. Miss McAvoy: Ralph, find the greatest common divisor. Ralph McDonald: Great Scott, is that still lost?
