Townley. rhuylera of 1U34-1935 The curtain has been drawn over another basketball season, and once again the sports reporter must prepare a comprehensive narrative of the 1934-35 basketball squad of Schuylerville High School. At the start of the season some townspeople admitted that Schuylerville had as good, if not a better team than last season. This statement was verified when Schuylerville won the Class 11 and Class C honors in Troy, although they lost the famed Eastern league cup to Hoosick Falls. With a record of twenty wins and five losses the 1934-35 team will likely go down into history of Schuylerville basketball. Losing one game to Hudson Falls, and two games to botli Hoosick Falls and Saratoga, the “Black Horses” easily trampled over their other opponents. Four of the five losses were of last half variety. The best victory of the year was earned over the powerful Alumni players, who in their own opinion, were the better team. However, the final score indicated differently, and once more the varsity had defeated the Alumni. Twenty

IFrrabntau (Haas Hull! Rah! llah! Let’s give three cheers for the Freshmen. We have all tried to keep up in our studies and have been called a “spunkv” lot. We hope to keep this name during the remaining high school days. It seems that every “Freshie” must go through a certain degree of teas- ing and bossing from those antagonizing Seniors. But the old saying goes— “Live and Learn”. We have all been taught to grin and bear their lordliness. Our record in all athletics is far better than that of the previous classes, and we are proud to know that our basketball team could conquer the Juniors. In track, baseball, and soccer we are well started on our way to shining star- dom with such players as Dominick Nardelli, Spencer Boyce and Francis N'acv. In interclass basketball our boys held second place. Although we have not had many club meetings, our officers were as fol- lows: Presidents, Wesley Boyce and Catherine Ellis; Vice-presidents, Francis Nacy and Elsie Olson; Treasurers, Ruth Thorne and Cyril Currier; Secre- tary's, Yelda Cramer and Paul Sloane. We hope that our class will not decrease in number and that our senior class of ”38 will be largest of any class known in the History of S. H. S. Velda Cramer ’38 Tfineteen

At the beginning of the year the squad was composed almost entirely of veterans with much experience. Of the 1933-34 squad all the campaigners were back with the exception of Joe Sciurba. This year’s squad included: “Kay” Dumas, “Eddie” Everts, “Ken” Fitz- gerald, “Tom” Hoey, “Elm” Boyce, “Fred” Mac-Master, “Don” Gravelle, “Jack” .......ings, “Bob” Forbes, “Larry” Young, “Willy” Corsetti, “Cy” Williams, “Cec” Hunt and “Tom” Fahje. Taken as a whole this season has been very successful in spite of the fact that the Schuylerville boys lost the Eastern league to Hoosick Falls. In the Class C finals in Troy the “Schuylers” handed the Chatham five a brilliant JO to 20 defeat. They also gave Waterford, a strong Class B school, a 20 to 18 defeat. Keturning for another campaign under Coach Francis Stanton are: “Elm” Boyce, “Tom” Hoey, “Fred” Mac-Master, “Larry” Young, “Cec” Hunt, and “Willy” Corsetti. Although the y are not all veterans, they should develop into a championship team. Things look pretty bright for Coach Stanton’s 1935-30 squad, and if you rooters give the team the same loyal support you did this season, you might have the Eastern league pennant flying once more over Schuylerville High School.
