CLASS HISTORY The wheel of education goes round and round, and where she stops—nobody knows. We, the present senior class, have spun around this wheel of education for four long years, diligently working at our various studies, and taking time out very frequently for mischievous pranks and school activities. The autumn of 1932 found this present graduating class entering Schuylerville High School. We, a group of timid children, eager and anxious to participate in high school studies and sports, emerged from the office after being advised about our schedules by Arvid J. Burke, our good-natured and ever-willing principal. After making ourselves accustomed to the jeers and taunts of upper-classmen, we settled down to wade through our comparatively hard high school studies. Our freshmen and sophomore years ended quite uneventfully (as they most usually do) except for the annual Hallowe'en party in the gym and the annual high school picnic at Lake Sunnyside. Upon entering the Junior year two years later, we realized that this room was to carry many happy memories. Under Miss Mary Healy, we experienced the suspense and joy of receiving our dearest school treasure, our junior rings. We, the Class of 1936, know that no other ring has yet surpassed ours. Another joyous event which came at the end of the year was the Junior Prom. From this we derived many sleepless and feverish nights, and also many happy hours of decorating the gym and dancing at the Prom itself. As we entered the Senior Class in September, 1935, we did not think of it as our last year in school, but as the year in which we were to labor and slave many months in order to enjoy the greatest event of our high school years—our trip to New York City. When that eventful trip came to an end, we were confronted with the great task of preparing for graduation. We are now a decidedly different group than that which started high school four years ago. We are older, much wiser, and a little more concerned with the outside world. As this senior year comes to a close, we recall to mind the many events, joyful and otherwise, in which we have participated. These last two months are going to be short and eventful ones. On May 22, we will hold our class day. We have the pleasure of being the first class to boast members of a new honor society which will be introduced into the school this year. Our class day, we hope, will be decidedly different from any of the past ones. During the month of June, regents come into prominence. Regents week is the hardest and shortest period of the school year. After a tedious reviewing period we enter the regents room and come out—victorious, we hope. For those of us who come through the regents with flying colors, a stage show is in store. We are to be the participants in this stage show. On graduation night, we will all sit on the stage, the girls in their delicate dresses, and the boys in their white trousers and dark blue coats. With this picture of graduation in our minds, with appreciation, grateful- ness, and admiration in our hearts for our class advisor, Miss Helen Shannahan, and our loyal supervisor and principal, Mr. T. R. Townley, we, the Seniors, say good-bye to dear old S. H. S. but its memories will linger in the hearts of the class of 1936. CATHERINE TURCOTTE '36 TTY
