(Class trtmherjt Rather excited, I set out one May morning in 1943 from New York, en route to my old home town. While I was delayed in Albany for a few hom s, 1 took a walk through the business section of the city. As 1 passed a theatre, 1 noticed two pictures labeled “Cochrane” and “Far- rell.” Studying them closely, 1 realized that they were the Jim Coch- rane and Francis Farrell of my high school days. I decided to lunch before going back to the station and entered a place called “Prindle’s Luncheonette.” Imagine my surprise to find “Wink” occupying the position of cashier. 1 took a train to Saratoga Springs and went to see “Mil” Hudson who was a nurse there. When I arrived “Mil” was going off duty; so she asked me in to see her patient. It was Millie Haas, now married. Millie told me that Harriet Birch was married to someone in New York and that Betty Harvey, a teacher in Saratoga Springs, expected to he married in August to an up and coming lawyer, Dan Barrett. When I got off the bus in front of the Hotel Schuyler the next morning, the first thing to meet my eyes was a sign, “Dorothy Shearer’s School of Business.” I entered the building and was shown into the office of my old chum, “Dot.” She asked me if I would like to meet the principal of the high school and who should I find occupying that noble position hut Jim Hoey, with Joe DeGrechie and Ernie Provost as two of his assistants. I learned that Mary Cudahy and Esther Carlson were also teachers. Sylvia Barker was dean of a very exclusive girls’ school, with Kathleen Coffin and Winnogene Cromie as teachers in the same school. Jim had just received a letter from Charles Nichols who was a “handicapper” in Jamaica. Ray Sparling was married. Boh Booth and Gordon Russell were successful farmers. “Dot” told me that Boh Sloane was still taking pictures and Tom Clancy was still a soda jerker. I learned that Mary Macklin was ex- pected home next month from Europe where she was studying music. Ken Brophy was running a night club in Chicago. I was told that Frank Fogerite was making tour of the world seek- ing excitement. Bert Lee and Charles Davis were operating an air route between New York and Montreal. Don Eddy was a retired busi- ness man. The only ones left were Chet Pekins, a doctor; Mary Mc- Dermott, a mannequin at Saks in New York; and Cora Williams, a nurse in the Glens Falls hospital. Thus ended a happy visit to my old home town. After having renewed acquaintance with my classmates of 1932, I was happy to find that they were all prospering and successful. MARY REED, ’32 Thirteen

;5rttwr Cirtss -Will We, the Seniors of Schuvlerville High School, city of Schuvler- ville, county of Saratoga, state of New York, having been declared of unquestionably sound mind by a young, gifted, and somewhat earnest would-be lawyer in our midst, the Honorable Provost, do hereby draw up, establish, ordain, and publish this document as our last will and testament. We hereby command that all our just, unjust, and otherwise ill- incurred debts be immediately, expeditiously, and promptly paid from the fund we leave for that purpose. We bequeath to the Junior Class, who some day may, we hope, be high and honored seniors, Room 2, the first two rows in Assembly, and the honor and obligation of suppressing unseemly demonstrations and ju eniie pranks, such as loud guffaws of mirth and outrageously loud clapping which spoil the pleasure of that wise and autocratic body decorating the front rows. To the “Frosh” and “Sophs” we present handbooks on “Duty to One’s Superiors,” to be consulted when they see an upperclassman approaching. We bequeath to some ladylike junior, if there be one, the popu- larity of Betty Harvey; to Mr. LaLone, Mary Cudahy’s gift of art; to “Peg” DeGuire, Winnogene Cromie’s position in the orchestra; to Pat Yarossi, James Cochrane’s sense of humor; to “Barb” Potter, Mary McDermott’s gracefulness; to Kilmer Myers, Ken Brophy’s happy-go- lucky ways; to Kate Maynard, Kay Coffin’s freckles; to Russ Mc- Dougall, Joe DeGrechie’s basketball ability. We leave James Hoey’s presidency to someone in the Junior Class who can really equal him; Bob Booth’s soft voice to John Martis; Mary Macklin’s shyness to Aileen Cummings; Tom Clancy’s curly hair to Helen Hewitt; Donald Eddy’s avoirdupois to Don Seney; Gordon Rus- sell’s Ford to Joe Szekely; Frank Fogerite’s way with the girls to Wayne Overbagh; Francis Farrell’s acting ability to Alan Meador; Cora William’s gentle manner to Mazie VanDerwerker. We bequeath Chet Pekin’s “dudishness” to Harry Brophv; Dot Shearer’s skill as typist to Ernestine Miner; Mil Hudson’s short sched- ule to Bob Lansing; Mary Reed’s friendliness to “Tub” Beaulac; Charles Nichol’s knowledge of physics to Bessie Galusha; Charles Davis’s blushes to Mary Gruner; “Wink” Prindle’s ability in math and science to “Runk” Sciurba. To Miss Lasher we leave our sympathy for the trying hours she will encounter with the law class of 1933, and to Miss Healy our sin- cere appreciation for the patience she has had throughout this year in American history class.
