A , -'gf r., X Jfootball UR football team of l926 enjoyed one of the greatest successes in the annals of sport in Saranac Lake High School. By winning live games, most of them by large scores, we gained the right to play Franklin Academy of Malone for the championship of Northern New York. While we lost the championship game in the last few seconds of play, it was one of the best games ever seen on a high school gridiron of this locality. Starting the season with a victory against Plattsburg, we followed it with a vic- tory over a strong team from Lowville Academy. Next came two games against weak teams which we won easily, beating Lake Placid and Tupper Lake by large scores. Then came a game, second only to the championship contest. Ticonderoga with a very strong team was beaten by a close score in a hard fought game. The climax of the season came when our team lost the championship game to Malone in a heart-breaking defeat. The stars of the season were Tom Wallace, fullback: Tom Kunz, quarterback: and the two ends, Donohue and Wilkins. The balance of the team worked so well with this quartet that the resulting team was the best ever produced on the local gridiron.

Thru the cooperation of Superintendent Littell, Miss Margaret Seymour and the faculty, we iii have accomplished a great deal both in class and school activities. l We have especially aimed to raise the standard of scholarship. Our honor seat has been held during the school year by James Finn, Arnold Fraleigh, Ida Weiner, Ralph Kelly and George Dean. ll' We have been responsible to a great extent for the success of the School Band , and Orchestra in which we have a large representation. We have participated in all athletics, but have been particularly successful in skating. Those who helped to win honors and bring a cup to the school are Howard Malone, Milford Deitz and Roderick I Bishop. In Public Speaking, the Junior High School has been equally successful. David Hall won second place in the League Prize Speaking Contest which we think is worthy of note, because it is the first time that a member of our department has represented us in such a contest. 4 We have also been active socially. We have given several parties for the mem- bers of the Junior High which we believe have created better class spirit and a closer relationship among our classmates. Although we feel proud of achievements the past year, we believe that we shall be able to do more to uphold the honor of the school in future years. f i -asv limi VY.

The D same team which had won the League Championship of '25 and '26, with the exception if l of Bob Herron, was again available. Led by jack Donohue, there was every reason to f predict a successful season for the team. l lv The team won its early season games handily and appeared to be of championship l calibre. Then came a midseason slump and a number of games were lost by small Jil, F' margins. The outlook was dark and there seemed to be no chance for the team to break up i. its losing streak until suddenly with an entire reversal of form, the team defeated Platts- 1 Ni l l burg and Placid to tie them for the League title. ln the play-off for the championship in -'Il of the Adirondacks, Saranac lost to Placid in a close and hard fought game. , Captain Donohue and Tom Kunz were the leading players with Wallace, Stock' and Nlulflur close behind. 'T ' l ln addition to the varsity schedule, Mr. Wilson promoted an inter-class league ., whose championship was won by the Seniors who easily won all their games. The fl object of these teams is to provide material for the varsity squad in years to come. l M '-a l fl MP 6 Thirty-six FTB l IW 9 : H ii lime' MS 4 yn NX24 e I r V - A . oar , IV, -1 fl Pa : VV A Hur M X '3 --59 -W Qi QE.
