,. jUNlOR ci.Ass The junior class, one hundred and four members strong, has just completed a most successful year under the leadership of a globe-trotting president, a cheer-leading vice-president, and an efficient secretary-treasurer. Our activities on the football field are recounted in another part of this book, but we claim for our very own the intrepid little cheer-leader whose enthusiasm has swept so many Saranac Lake teams to victory. On March 23, twelve members of our class set out to out-Dracula Dracula. ln a darkened auditorium, accompanied by a mournful wind and the blood- curdling howls of wolves, our frightened amateur detectives unravelled the Mystery of the Tower Room before an audience of more than five hundred. john Duquette's artistry in designing posters secured a large audience, the skill of the actors, the executive staff, and the director Miss Forth, pleased it. The junior Proml After days of fluttery preparations, the social event of the year at last arrived. lt is always a beautiful sight but seemed to outdo itself this year. Frivolous organdies, sophisticated satins, serene crepes-all combined to make the ballroom as colorful as a Mardi Gras parade. A fitting climax, indeed, to such a colorful yearl Today we look forward to the glory of being Seniors. We have cast off the frivolity of Freshman days, for we realize that life is, indeed, a serious matter. We have given up the pseudo-sophistication of the high school Sophomore. We know now that the really wise man is the one who sees how much he has yet to learn. We come to the end of our junior year and look forward eagerly' to next September, when we shall be sedate Seniors, in name if not in deed. Truly, our junior year has been so joyous that we may carry some of its radiance even tothe other side. -BARBARA CONKLlN E27

SOPHOMORE CLASS On September l7, about one hundred members of the Sophomore class held their first meeting for the purpose of electing officrs. Now that we stop for a minute to look back over our first year upstairs we see a rather successful one. Our class picnic at Fish Creek early in May furnished a grand time for all of us. We enjoyed a regular old-fashioned weenie roast and several excit- ing baseball games. Several of our class members have distinguished themselves, not only in class activities, but also in other school affairs. There were four Sophomores in the Varsity Club, five on the Red and White staff, nine in the band, and five were participants in the Commercial contest at Chateaugay, Especially outstanding in athletics lfootballl were our president, john Munn, Orville lvlarello, and Andy Fortune. Art Charland, the famous miler, is also a mem- ber of our class. We are looking forward with even more eagerness to next year's prom and play. We hope to make a success of both of them, but l hardly think we'll ever forget our Sophomore year. -ELLEN DEAN Q8
