Sawyer History The first SAWYER was published more than thirty years ago. To be exact, it was the year 1913. Miss Nellie Myer Know Mrs. William D. Brownj was the Editor-in- Chief. The publication was then suspended until the year 1925, when the SAWYER was revived under the direction of Dr. Grant D. Morse, who has served as its adviser since that time. Last year, in 1943, due to War conditions, no SAWYER was published. Except for this one omission, this 1944 yearbook marks the 20th successive publication of the SAWYER by the students of Saugerties High School. Its editors have included a long list of young people who have since proven their quality in different fields of achievement. Throughout its history, the SAWYER has enjoyed the very helpful support of different members of the community outside of the school itself, among whom are included the Martin Cantine Company, makers of coated paperg the A. F. Schoen Publishing Company, Ronald B. Johnstone, photographerg the F. L. Russell Corporation, binders of books. The efforts of different supervisors of art have also contributed to the originality of the various issues. During tho current war the SAWYER has found its way to distant shores and has been read by its graduates and their friends and acquaintances in nearly every land on the globe. If it can serve as a recorder and a pleasant reminder of happy and profitable days spent in Saugerties High School, the SAWYER will feel that its publication efforts have been justified. THE EDITORS

Our Art Theme We are using insects this year-you know what an insect is-as the art medium for THE SAWYER. It's not that We think of ourselves as kin to the insect World fthough some folks say that about some of usb. It's only that our art staff must have some medium through which to illus- trate our pages. So We're using bees and flies and butterflies, and some other animu1es fthat our science friends say are not truly insectsj to help build interest in the following pages. We hope you don't get Hbuggyi' as you per- use them. THE EDITORS
