E QS,-T CLASS PROP:-lr-scv fig By MARTIN SCHLOTTER 1 'f Q The Curtains of Yesterday drop down, QE ' : ri if The Curtains of Tomorrow roll up. l 3 s 2 ' 1 L What ls Time? The shadow on the dial, the striking of the clock, the running Q of the sand-day and night, summer and winter, months, years, centuries-these are 2 G but the outward signs, the measure of Time, not Time itself. Time is the life of LEE 5 the soul. 5 As the curtain of tomorrow rolls up for the Senior Class of 1932, I seem to see ' ' a stalwart figure-who is lt? Warren Shackett. He has been a. sturdy blacksmith, but , finding the work too hard, is now president of Shackett's Unemployment Agency. : gf ' The sands of time reveal that Evelyn Swart's journalistic ambitions have led her to a ' E responsible position-that of Press Agent for Mahatma Ghandi. Closely associated f 3 i with her is Margaret Ryan, Mahatmafs Secretary. F. is 2 A butterfly net gains my attention. Who is chasing butterflies? Mabel Mac- 5 1 iz Farland, and there is a gentle creature who surprises me-it is Ella Genthner, sticking F5 pins ln butterflies and dosing them with alcohol! , I - E l , 5' The scene changes-a race track in Cuba. The horses are running neck and - neck-now one noses ahead to sweep past the finish line. And as the picture clears, ' E I see Harry Lerner holding a wreath of roses. Harry is now the foremost jockey in '73 the world. In the grandstand I see three familiar faces-Ida Sweet, Stefana Stoly, and 5 Lucy Dale. Ida is a nurse, Stefana a. secretary, and Lucy an English teacher in Cuba. Z I flnd myself in the Senate Chamber. A heated debate is taking place. Ray- ! mond Whitaker, Speaker of the House, is gently reprimanding an irrepressible lady 5 , senator from New York. You all know that figure-and the remark I don't see why- S It is Ethel Burns. f , What has time done to Rudolph Melius? I see him now, a buyer and seller of - E antiques-Overland cars, and what-have-you. 5 2 Let us look at the fair, western state of Missouri-a tea party is in progress 1 at the ranch home of Mrs. Clyde Farris, formerly Wanita Terwllllger. The guest of , , the afternoon is Alice Zeilman, just returned from doing missionary work in China. 1 ' Among all the women, there is one man, very familiar. Oh-David Abeel taking notes for his Society Column in the Missouri Sun. Out on the ranch there is a great clanklng 5 , of spurs-Orville Sweet, now an energetic cowboy. - 1 A little more sand has slipped through the glass. Small children on a play- ' . ground are being called in by a voice you, too, will recognize-Iva Croswell, saying , Now children, you must stop playing and get those articles in on tlme. Near the ' gate of the orphanage is a caretaker's cottage. Standing at the door is Andrew Schroe- f der giving directions to a fair blond girl with a music roll. It is Ingrid Olsen, the new 5 I music teacher and director of the Orphan's Choral Club. 5 IE I 5 The passage of time reveals that Jack Rivenberg, formerly a big financier, has 5 seen the light, and has given up the t-emptations of Wall Street to retire into the min- istry. He is pastor of a beautiful church, built through the efforts of the President of the Ladies' Aid Society and organist of the church, Margaret Buhl.

IQ ' J av f candy for the class. Just before Christmas time, we sold Christmas Cards in order to replenish our funds. The Arbor Day exercises were held in front of the school on the twenty-ninth of April. The Senior President made an address in dedication of the ivy and the response was given by the Junior Pres-ident, Leonard Gilmore. Early in May we presented a movie benefit. The choice of the picture was made by the class with heated discussion and argument. But finally a picture was decided upon and the success of it was due to the hearty cooperation of each member of the class. Then came the Senior Play. Undoubtedly, this year's play was more successful than any play presented by a Senior Clas . At least we think so, and we're inclined to believe you will agree with us. The cast was excellent, and may the thanks of the Senior Class go to Miss Sheffield and Miss Buffum, dramatic coaches, for the hard, painstaking labor which they spent on the play in order to make it successful. The Senior Ball, presented May twenty-seventh, was the climax of the year's social events. We procured an excellent orchestra, Roger Baer and His Cubs, who contributed a large part to the success of the affair. The decorating committee bedecked the auditorium with pastel colors, converting it into a ballroom. A very large crowd attended, lending an at- mosphere of gayety and enjoyment to the occasion. Before school closed, the Junior Class surprised us by inviting us to a joint picnic, expenses to be paid by the Juniors. We thank you, Juniors! Then came moving up day. The Juniors took the front seats in chapel, and we began to feel like an old garment which is cast off and is no longer of any value. And now the work of four years is ended. The curtain falls on the friendship, joy and labor of our school life. Father Time turns the last page of our Class History and we leave this building through the same portals that welcomed us in nineteen twenty-eight. We have few regrets, and now we submit this, our Class History, to the records of Saugerties High School and hope that the aims of every Senior Class to come will be at least as high as we have tried to make ours. Z GRADU DIVERSO, UNA VIA When God put each of us on earth, He showed partiality to none. He gave us all the same amount of hands and feet, and all the rest. To this He added brain and brawn, and then He said My work is done. It's up to you to make your life. Don't ask Me more: I've done my best. Still, when we were very young, We realized while in our play That the boy next door had thrown his ball Much farther than ours had gone that day. And then-a little older still- We found that tho our mind was keen, Some other student oft displayed The higher marks, when cards were seen. Thus our High School years have shown With truer, purer clarity, The difference in each person's pace- The difference in ability. Though all cannot secure the prize, we're at least all in the raceg Life's the road, and we're the runners. Each of us knows strain and stress To wrest a laurel wreath from Fate. Yet if loss should prove our case, We will tru-st in God and in ourselves-and strive once more to win success. -MARGARET BUHL, Class Poet. -1 ' A' V' 'l 7M 'f:1'G'-7W'll'll 'i' if T '2'f 'f i'l w -' rf.
