Five new members were tapped on the basis of scholarship, character, leadership and service by John Peters, president and Ave McGarry, vice-president, who were tapped in their Junior year. The seniors tapped were Alberta Morrill, secretary, Catherine McCarty, Mildred Curtis, Marjorie Mathis and Ray Stevens. The chapter sponsored a drive for funds which was given to the Red Cross for flood relief in the west, and sponsored a project to obtain more publicity for S.H.S. in order to increase enrollment and public interest. A weekly column in the newspaper was obtained where news of the classes, clubs, and extra curricular activities of the school were printed. The aim of the Schuylerville Honor Society is to promote scholarship, service, leadership and the development of character among the students.

A-B-C-D— so we set sail on our course. From first grade on we’ve met our obstacles and overcome them, while all the time our minds developed and our sea legs grew. Our first great port at which to land was our high school. With keen anticipation we looked forward to our new adventure. Finally the great day arrived, but joy was quite subdued by timidity and strange- ness. “Green” is what the seniors called us. We then exclaimed with a sigh, “How grand it must feel to be a sophisticated senior, ready soon to leave the friendly harbor for the turbulent sea of life.” Sooner than we imagined we were quite accustomed to our new school life. Time passed very swiftly with hard work at our new studies. We were on the way. As sophs we felt quite elated. There were new freshmen to give some friendly advice while we were completely accustomed to our new habitation. Many new friends were made, even from the senior class. Again a year passed by. With Miss Healy and Mr. Stanton we spent one grand year. During these 40 weeks we bought our lovely junior rings. As usual, the arguments and heated appraisals and dislikes accompanied the purchase. We earned our first money in selling candy. Our Prom was, of course, our biggest event. Beautifully decorated, the auditorium became the place of an enjoyable evening for all who attended. Also, in our junior year, a weekly banking account was started towards individual senior trip funds. This proved to be a great help to us in our last year. In May a great event occurred. Two of our fellow classmates were tapped by senior Honor Societj' members. Moving-Up Day was also one of the gala occasions of this school year. Almost before we knew it September came again, and we were full- fledged seniors. Where was that feeling of sophistication? We hadn’t seemed to gain it.. Yet, we did have a greater feeling of importance knowing that soon we would be on tbe unknown sea of life. In November we put on a very successful senior play, “Amy from Arizona.” After this event we began to make more plans about our senior trip. Finally, after careful consideration, we decided to “get to Washington or bust !” We just weren’t satisfied with only New York City. We planned many food sales which were very profitable with the splendid cooperation of all the town people. A new feature of enjoyment for this school was a Carnival with “side shows”, “hot dogs”, and “pink lemonade”. In February we gave a large card party in our auditorium where everyone spent an en- joyable evening. Then we also put on an assembly program and sponsored two tag days. Because of these activities we found it possible to accept the “Green Tour” to Washington with two days in New York. In the beginning of the senior year four other members were tapped for the National Honor Society. In April another member was chosen. We were proud to have the group raised to seven members. DAVY JONES' INHERITANCE PROGRAM WE, THE CLASS of nineteen hundred and thirty-seven, soon to depart from Schuy- lerville High School to set sail upon the sea of life, not knowing in which direction the wind shall guide us, do hereby draw up, establish, ordain, and present this document as our last will and testament. We bequeath to the faculty members the dedication of this “Schuyler” for their hard work in helping and guiding us during our school career. To the undignified Juniors we bequeath our Senior Class room and also Miss Shannahan, who we know will assist you at any time. We also hope that you Juniors will be as worthy of this room as we Seniors have been. To the Sophs we give the dignity and seriousness of the Seniors. To the young Freshmen we leave the Seniors’ manners and scholastic ability. As you Juniors are rather an unprogressive sort of class, we Seniors think it well to leave to you some of the abilities of our great classmates. First of all, to Red Miner we leave the political career which Mac Harvey has possessed since he began his high school course; to Jim Tcchen the singing ability of Harold Jackson so that he may sing love songs to one of the Junior girls; to Jane Cormic the cheery and clever nature of Harriet Freemont; and to Rea Wilson the eves and charming ways of Elinor White. To Frank Nacy we leave the scholastic ability of Marjorie Mathis; and to Velda Cramer the knowledge of Ave McGarry in the French language. As the Senior Class always needs some- one clever at art. we leave to Dominick Nardelli the art ability of Edwin Robbins; to Eleanor Gaudette the commercial knowledge of Elsie Wood; and to Cyril Currier the as- suming manners of John Peters. We leave to Albert Yandow the curly hair of Elmer Gra- vellc and to Elaine Cromie the friendliness of Midgie Curtis. To Spencer Boyce we leave the position of James McLindon as manager of the basketball team. To Wesley Boyce we leave the agricultural knowledge of Arthur Hunter. To .Too Sulli we leave some hooks in which John Sherman is very much interested on how to fish and how to become President. To Paul Sloane we give the romantic technique of Elwaine Booth; to Vera Betts we leave the quiet smile of Aileen Kearney; and to Leon Gagne the good humor of William Delcontc. To some of the members of the Sophomore Class we leave the following; the states- manship of Rav Stevens to Andrew Plesko; the shvness of Marv DeGreehie to Catherine Cassie; the ability of Glen Verney to play the drums to Ace Gorhan; the dancing techninuc of Walt Wood to Rav Larmon: a� d the punctuality of Marv Flatlev to Tiger Blair. We wish to leave the originality of Alberta Morrill to Helene Galuslm. the vivacious wavs of Margie Myers to Lorraine Funston. and the petiteness and daintiness of June Gifford to Bettv Burch. The gift of gab of Rill Cummings we leave to nuiet Paul Brooby: the good method of keeping house of Effie Booth to Muriel Gravelle: the red hair of Evangeline Miner to Lena larossi: and the ego of Ralph Williams to Lester Loomis. We leave the dancing feet of Marie Freemont to Esther Barnes, and the ambition of Earl Pratt to John Petralia. Tn the Freshman Class we beoueath the basketball ability of Catherine McCarty to Cathleen Ellis; the freckles of Catherine Morrill to Violet Coffingcr; the curly hair and handsome looks nf Bob Cummings to Bill Carey; the technical knowledge of Jackson Closson to Bill Hoev. We leave the cheerv atmosphere which Albert Charron creates to John Harris; the neatness of Owen Root to Boh Williams; and Margaret Coffinger’s boyfriend from Green- wich to Dorothv Pett. whom, we are sure, she will accept with pleasure. We give John Coffin’s ability to build and model things to Albert Young; quietness of John Hamm to Bon Callahan; and the quiet manner of Marion Coonrad to Marv Tanner. Also, we leave the co- operation in class activities of Bill Burch to any of the Freshmen who want it. The Senior Class of 1037. —JUNE GIFFORD. Witness: Mildred Curtis—Senior, Vcldn Cramer—Junior, Edith Davis—Sophomore, Elaine McGarry—Freshman. GLIMPSE OF OUR FUTURE VOYAGE THE NUMEROUS exhibits of the G. E. caused me to exclaim, “Can you predict the future?” The smiling young man answered, “Yes, we have a marvelous new machine which can give you a motion picture of yourself or vour friends at any date in the future.” So it is that we are indebted to the G. E. for a picture of the class of ’37 ten years hence. The first picture showed me sitting in my dressing room. The door flew open and in rushed Walt Wood, the ventriloquist. “They can’t do this to me,” yelled Walt, “I’ve panicked audiences all over the country. The very idea of billing some dumb skirt from New York over me.” “Who’s that?” I asked politely. “Madam Morrill, ye beauty specialist.” “Sa}’ Walt, she’s on now; let’s go into the wings and hear her act.” “O. K.,” said Walt, “It will make us appreciate ourselves.” On the stage was a girl doing a comic beauty parlor take off. I soon recognized her as an old pal, Alberta Morrill. After the act Alberta, who had recently visited dear old Schuylerville, told us a lot of news. Aileen Kearney was playing professional basketball with the ladies’ team that played men only. Ave McGarrv was teaching at S.H.S.; while Catherine McCarty and Catherine Morrill were joint baton swingers of an all-girl orchestra which was running Henry Russe out of business. Mac Harvey, a promising young politician, had just been elected to the assembly at Albany. William Burch was the cashier of the First National Bank. A couple of days later I checked into a hotel in Youngstown and found that the bell-hop, who showed me to my room, was none other than Ed Robbins, although he pretended he didn’t recognize me. That night I received a telegram from my manager in New York. It read: “FLY HERE IMMEDIATELY STOP BRING WOOD STOP HAVE OPENING FOR TWO HAMS.” That night we boarded a large transport plane for New York. The chief pilot was Bill Cummings who gave us a lot of news. His brother Bob was pitching minor league ball for Albany. His old girl friend, Margie Myers, was an understudy to Mae West. Elinor White was married and definitely the head of the house. Earl Pratt was director of a hoola show. Bill had to take off but he said his stewardess, Harriet Freemont, could tell us a lot more. Harriet told us that her sister Marie was running a beauty shop in Troy. Elsie Wood, Evangeline Minor and Mary DeGrechie were competent secretaries, thanks to Miss Lasher. Jack Closson was a radio engineer. Owen Root was a bill collector, while Harold Jackson was a radio announcer. We hated to see her duties call Harriet awaj. Soon I found myself sitting across the aisle from a familiar figure. He spoke, “Don’t you remember me, Rav? I’m Ralph Williams.” I learned from Ralph that Page Twenty he was just returning to his prosperous farm in Bacon Hill from the Nation- al Grange Convention at St. Louis. Ralph told me that Arthur Hunter had become a regular skinflint, and held mortgages on nearly all the land in and around Fort Miller. Elwaine Booth was also a prosperous farmer. John Hamm was proprietor of a store, in addition to being the best fisherman in Grangerville. Marion Coonrad had taken unto herself a husband, and together they were demonstrating the value of pure foods to a large audience. As we would not reach New York until 10:30, Ralph wanted to take a nap; so I centered my attention elsewhere. A very, very confident looking man was making his way down the aisle after a complaint to the stewardess about the poor service. In a flash I recognized him as Glenn Varney. I grabbed his coat sleeve and said, “Hi Glenn!” Mr. Varney shouted, “Such impertinence!” Then he recognized me and said, “Oh, you’re that Stevens fellow, who tried to be a comedian.” I assented and asked what he was trying to be and remarked that none of the gang had heard from him for a long time. Glenn then informed me that he was private secretary to Jean Harlow and that his job occupied most of his time. I inquired for “Pete” Sherman, and Glenn said he had just received a card from South America where Mr. Sherman was starting his first major engineering job. He was making a honeymoon of the trip, and the lucky girl was Margaret Coffinger. I opened my paper to the comic section and read Elmer Gravelle’s ad- venture series. Then I glanced over the front page «'here I saw that J. B. McLindon, the playboy, was suing John Peters, who wrote a column in the Daily Mirror, for libel. Mr. Peters was being defended by a woman lawyer, Marjorie Mathis. I turned to the sport’s page where I saw that Albert Charron bad signed a contract with the Boston Bruins to swing a hockey stick for the modest sum of $25,000 for the coming year. The next thing I knew we had landed in Newark, N. J. I crossed the river to New York bv ferry boat, captained by the great sailor William Delconte. A companion for the trip was Walt’s bosom friend, John Coffin, a radio sound effects man. On the sidewalks of old New York we met June Gifford, an up-and- coming nurse. She told us that Mildred Curtis w'as very active in a large New York Orphan Asylum. Effie Booth was teaching school; while Mary Flatley was doing missionary work in China. Walt and I arrived at our destination and saw our manager, who told us we were to head the entertainment bill at a small night club. —RAY W. STEVENS, Jr., ’37. CLASS SONG Tune—Shipmates Forever.

SENIOR CLASS PLAY IF THE Senior Class of 19.37 asked you what vehicle was important in their traveling to Washington, I am sure that you would answer that the bus was the important vehicle. However, they would reply that the senior play, “Amy From Arizona”, was an important vehicle in their trip to Washington. The play, a farce in three acts, was both a financial and personal success, one of the most successful ever held at S.H.S. The play centered about the trials and tribulations of a hen-pecked son-in-law, Lester Heminway, a part which was expertly handled by Edwin Robbins. The causes of his troubles were his mother-in-law, Mildred Curtis; an actress, Marjorie Myers; and his brother-in-law, Ray Stevens. Further complication ensued when Amv from Arizona, Alberta Morrill: and Richard Morrow, Malcolm Harvey, arrived at the Heminway Home. The cast was further sup- plemented by James McLindon and Mary DeGrechie who played the parts of Hoskins and Cora respectively. Because of the untiring efforts of Mr. Stanton, the play was a success. —ALBERTA MORRILL ’37. Schuylerville, New York April 2, 1937 Dear Friend, I must write you about the grand time we spent during our six davs at Washington and New York City. Since I still feel a little tired, I think it will be much easier to write a few extracts from my diary. FRIDAY—MARCH 26 I arose at five o’clock because we were to leave the school house at 6:30 and be at the Albany Railroad Depot at 8:20 A. M. The day was very cold. Too bad for us girls in our spring suits! Getting to Albany took so long, but in reality we made good time despite the slippery roads. At the station we met Mr. Green who gave our chaperons, Mr. Townley and Miss Shannahan, our tickets. We left Albany at 9:00 A. M. The train was comfortable and went quite fast although it seemed to merely creep along because of our keen anticipation to arrive. Shortly after noon we left the train at the New York Central Station and were taken by bus to our hotel, The Victoria. Of all the heads raised skyward! Everyone was peering at the skyscrapers. Our hotel was on the corner of 7th Avenue and 51st Street, right across from the Hotel Taft. When our rooms had been asigned, we went shooting upward in the elevator to the twentieth floor. I guess the first thing everyone did was to look out the window at the street far below. Since the afternoon was free, the students went many different places in the city. There we viewed the complicated mechanisms of radio. We saw the huge control room making broadcasts clear and distinct; we visited the huge air conditioning room automatically ventilating the whole building; our guide explained the structure of the sound proof broadcasting rooms. I should like to pass the explanation along to you, but I fear it would be too difficult. We next visited a broadcast and a rehearsal. At the broadcast, we saw the great efficiency necessary in each broadcast. After this educational entertainment we were allowed to go where we desired until twelve o’clock. A group of us went up to the Radio City Observation Tower where we had a most magnificent view of New York City and its evening dress of lights. SATURDAY—APRIL 27 We left New York City about 10 A. M. by way of the Holland Tube. We ate our lunch at the Lorraine Hotel in Philadelphia. After a short rest we continued our journey to Washington. We arrived about 8:00 P. M. Dinner was served in the dining room of our hotel, the Cairo. We, being now in the southland, had negroes for waiters. Our evening being open, we went where our fancy desired. Some friends and I spent the remainder of the evening hunting for a store selling Easter eggs. We thought our plan for an Easter egg hunt was in vain, but finally we found a store selling them. SUNDAY—MARCH 28 Easter dawned bright and sunny but quite cool. After church ser- vices, which almost everyone attended, we left for the Washington Cathedral. We toured about the Capital City, and after an educational visit to the Cathedral still in construction, we went to the Franciscan Monastery. Since it was Easter, the Monastery was most beautifully arrayed in the fragrance of manv flowers. The Catacombs, a replica of the original ones at Rome, were grand to see. After these visits we returned to the hotel for lunch. During the afternoon we visited Mount Vernon, the home of our first President. We returned to the city and climbed the Washington monument. It certainly was different from climbing the monument at Schuylerville. The view was too wonderful to express. We could see for miles and miles around. I have seen nothing to surpass it. We next visited one of the most im- pressive and most beautiful sights in all Washington, the Lincoln Memorial. One again cannot say in words the grandeur of this shrine. Its beauty was glorious even without the array of color afforded by the Japanese Cherry Trees not vet in bloom. Reluctantly we left to return to the hotel for dinner. That evening we visited the Congressional Library. It was very impressive. MONDAY—MARCH 29 Easter Monday, the day of the egg rolling! We were up and anxious to be on the go again. We visited the Arlington Cemetery and the home of Robert E. Lee. I think one never really can appreciate the toll of death that war calls until one sees the vast number of grave stones at Arlington. In visiting the grave of the Unknown Soldier we came at the time of the changing of the guards. The sight was most moving. On the return to the capitol city we spent a short time at the Smithsonian Institute. Next we went to the capitol building. There we viewed a session of Congress, both the Senate and the House of Representatives. My only regret was that we didn’t have more time to spend there. We next went through the new Supreme Court building. After this visit our pictures were taken, and then we returned to the hotel for lunch. The afternoon was scheduled for a trip to Annapolis. The bus driver misunderstood his orders and left with only seven of our group on the bus. They had a very grand time viewing the grounds of our naval academy. The rest of us who were left spent our time about the city. That evening we attended a ball at Hotel Raleigh given by Representative Clemett. TUESDAY—MARCH 30 We left early on our return trip to New York City. We arrived about 5 :30 P. M. That evening we went to see the musical comedy “The White Horse Inn.” It was most enjoyable and amusing. The rest of the evening we could do as we pleased. WEDNESDAY—APRIL 1 The morning being free, many of us girls did some shopping while others went to different places. At 2:00 P. M. a bus took us to the station where we boarded the New York Central train for Albany. We arrived home tired but very happy, with a broader vision on many things. I hope when you have an opportunity to visit this beautiful city you will have as enjoyable a time as I had. Yours truly, —MILDRED CIJRTIS. Page Twenty-eight DEBATING TEAM THE S. H. S. Varsity Debating Team defeated Mechanicville 7 to 1, won the Tri-County League with a perfect score, and tied a strong Fort Edward team for the mythical championship of northern New York. The team scored It) points to 5 for the opposition, and gained three unanimous decisions. The dual debate with Mechanicville was on the subject: Resolved that a form of compulsory automobile liability insurance should be adopted. The other debates were on the subject: Resolved that all electrical utilities should be publicly owned. The affirmative consisted of Alberta Morrill, Catherine McCarty, Cap- tain Ray Stevens and .lames McLindon, alternate. The negative team consisted of Arabella Booth, William Cummings, Captain John Peters and Ave McGarry, alternate. Frank Coffin replaced Arabella Booth as first speaker in the League Debate. The negative out-scored the affirmative 10 points to 9 points, but the af- firmative gained two of the three unanimous decisions and the honor of being the first S.H.S. Debating Team to defeat Greenwich since 193-L Miss Katherine E. Edwards deserves a great deal of credit as coach of the first championship Debating Team S.H.S. ever had. —RAY STEVENS, JR. ’37.

BASKETBALL 1936-37 MARCH (5th saw the close of another basketball season represented by the high school’s “Rlack Horses”. It showed a season’s record of eleven victories against six defeats for an average of (511 for the season. The team ran up a total of 520 points for an average of 28 points a game. Second place in the Eastern Conference was shared with Washington Academy of Salem. Close victories over Greenwich High, one of which ran into an overtime period, and easy victories over Stillwater and Cambridge, completed the six victories obtained in the league. The Schuylers bowed twice to Hoosick Falls and twice to Washington Academy, making the four defeats. The most noticeable non-conference decision and certainly the most satisfying one, came in the form of a ten-point victory over Saratoga High School, the first time since 1929-30. Saratoga revenged their defeat by turning the Schuylers back on their home court. Hoey, captain of this year’s and last year’s teams, had the individual scoring with a total of 13(5; De Luca was second with 94. Next year Coach Francis W. Stanton will lead the orange and black into a new league which has been newly formed. Frank Nacy will be captain for the entire season, reviving an old Schuylerville custom which has not been used in recent years. —JOHN PETERS, ’37.

S. even though it did not win any trophy. The team was coached by Mr. 0. W. Boivin and led by Captain Larry Young, “36”. The team beat Greenwich, at Greenwich, 55 1-2 to 30 1-2 in their open- ing meet. They lost a heartbreaker in their meet with Fort Edward, but bounced back to defeat Greenwich 49 1-2 to 25 1-2 in the only home meet. Near the close of the season the team journeyed to Mechanicville and lost after a hard fight. During the season S. H. S. scored 201 points to 137 1-2 points for the opponents. The conclusion of the season was the Schenectady trip which, so far as points were concerned, did not turn out too well because Captain Young and Adley Bulger were both on the sick list. The trip, however, from the view- point of pleasure was an overwhelming success. The boys who scored the most points were Captain Young with 43 1-2 points and Adlev Bulger with 25 1-2 points. The lad who got the most publicity was Frank Coffin, the barefooted half-miler. I think I may truthfully say other teams may have scored more points, but no team ever had more fun. —RAY W. STEVENS, JR. ’37. BASEBALL 1936 IN THE SPRING of 1936 Mr. 0. W. Boivin began the difficult task of molding a team from rather green but eager material. Because of the inexperience of most of the team, S. H. S. lost many of its early games but showed strength in the latter part of the season. The record shows that the team won only three games in ten. However, the Argyle and Hoosick Falls teams were among the victims. The season was far from unsuccessful, be- cause Argyle was defeated for the first time in years and many students received valuable training for the ’.‘17 campaign. Tom Hoey ’36 was a great captain, and Coach champions. However, we believe his work will bear Boivin made men if not championship fruit in ’37 or 38. —KAY STEVENS, JR. ’37 Front row, left to right: R. Chase. M. Harvey, C. Currier. T. Hoey, J. Carey. T.

GIRLS' INTRAMURALS GIRLS’ Intramurals, sponsored by the Intramural Association and Mr. Boivin, were very active this year. At the beginning of the season, many girls participated in archery. Later the basketball season became the outstanding event, and we had a successful year. Our Intramural A team won seven games out of r.inc from such opponents as Greenwich, Valley Falls, Fort Kdward, Cambridge, Th? Alumni, Junior High, and Granville. Besides that, we played many games among ourselves, having two teams captained by Midgie Curtis and Catherine McCarty. At the end of the basketball season came volley ball. This was especially interesting when the Juniors defeated the Seniors bv a large majority. We have enjoyed the preference that Mr. Boivin has given the girls, and sincerely hope, that in the future, the girls of S. II. S. will have as much fun as we have been allowed to have these past four years. —CATHERINE MCCARTY ’37. INTRAMURAL ASSOCIATION Front roir, left to right: A. Corsetti. C. McCarty. M. Curtis, G.

Page Thirty-seven JUNIORS The WHEEL of education “goes round and round and where she stops nobody knows.” The Junior class has been spinning around this wheel for three long years, diligently working to attain its final goal—graduation. This year the members of the Junior class have taken a detour from the usual road of tradition. After several weeks of discussion we decided not to have a Junior Prom, thereby saving our money for the Senior Trip. The arrival of our Junior rings seemed the outstanding feature that brightened our way. This year the girls of our class have caused a new interest in basket- ball and have taken part in inter-scholastic games. Also, they showed their expert ability in a farce game with the boys of our class. The sale of candy has been a very profitable venture through the cooperation of the members of the class. lTnder the able supervision of Miss Ilealv and Mr. Stanton, our class can truly possess a proud feeling for their past achievements in sports, debating, and willingness to support and work for their school. The class officers are: President, Frank Coffin; Vice President, Spencer Boyce; Secretary, Ruth Thorne; and Treasurer, Irene Gravelle. MARION HEWITT ’38. —OLIVE BLOGETT ’38 Front row.

SOPHOMORES IX JI NK, 193(5, a class of about fift y Freshmen emerged from the stage of being awkward and stupid into that long-coveted position of gay, young Sophomores. As the class of Sophomores had previously done, we could scarcely wait until school began before we started initiating the Freshmen. Any Freshman will tell you that a Sophomore was usually the most conceited, heartless person of the high school for the first few weeks. These Sophomores really believed they knew their way around, but many of them found that there was a great deal more to learn after becoming accustomed to their new schedules. In a few weeks the thrill of being Sophomores had worn off and real studying was undertaken. Officers of the class in room 11 were elected as follows: President, Andrew Pleshko; Vice-president, Eugene Lang; Treasurer, Frank Ellis; and Secretary, Lorraine Funston. The Sophomores of room 12, elected the following officers; President, Micholine Petralia; Vice-president, Edith Davis; Secretary, Esther Barnes; and Treasurer, Dorothy Wright. Many of the Sophomores participated in the Girls’ Glee Club, Debating Club, and Service Club, and several have joined the Burgoyne Crier staff. Marguerite Willette, Paul Brophy, Bette Burch, and Leon Blair are members of the Student Council. Edna Van Arnum and Hose Taras collect weekly contributions for the senior trip fund. With so many cooperative and industrious members, the Sophomore class of 1936-37 feels sure that it will gain still bigger and better achievements as the Juniors of 1937-38. —EDNA VAN ARNUM ’39. FRESHMEN Yl E FRESHMEN entered high school in September of the year 1937. ▼ ▼ It was a new world to us, a world of unfamiliar subjects and real work. This life was very different from the elementary grades. There were many activities, and our hours were filled bv doing everything that we could possibly do. The first thing of real importance to the Freshmen was the election of officers. At the first club meeting we elected several of our classmates to superintend the duties of the class. William Hoey and John Harris were chosen presidents; William Carey and Warren Towne, Vice-presidents; Mary Tanner and Leon Sparling, Secretaries; Joseph Cheney and John Boyce, Treasurers, and Edward Boyce and Mary Tanner, intermural representatives. The last of the offices to be filled were representatives to Junior High School Student Council; Marguerite Freemont and Joseph Peets were elected to these offices. The Seniors decided to have initiation week for the Freshmen, although we weren’t in favor of the suggestion. It finally arrived, however, and we were put through grueling tests. We were to wear a green badge with “Freshman” written on it, and then we were to learn a pledge which was to be learned to the nearest mark of punctuation. “Ah, Great and noble senior, Master of Destiny, I solemnly stand before you and say this pledge; I shall always admit the sovereignty of the Seniors and despise the lowly Freshmen of which I am one.” Regardless of embarrassment, it was fun! Then came our Christmas party. It was our first social affair since we had entered high school. What fun we had there! Will our Sophomore year be as enjoyable? We hope so! MARY TANNER ’40.

SERVICE CLUB SINCE SERVICE is always commended so highly, the Service Club is considered one of the best activities in the school lift of Schuvlcrville High. This year the club has been very prominent. For the first time in its history the members voted to have dues of $1.00 a year. On April 23rd the Service Club sponsored an informal public dance. The students who have been members for more than one year purchased very lovely pins. The motto of the club, “Courtesy, cleanliness, cooperation, and char- acter”, was printed around the outside of the pin. Also, the usual routine of collecting attendance slips, granting speaking permission, and being hall moniters has been faithfully and efficiently attended to. Under the leadership of Malcolm Harvey, president; Spencer Boyce, vice-president; Mildred Curtis, Secretary; Bob Cummings, treasurer; and Miss Helen I. Shannalian, the Service Club for 1937 has been a worthwhile and enjoyable activity. —JUNE GIFFOUI) ’37. Page Forty-four PUBLICATIONS nS7HEN OXE thinks, today, of the village of Sel mylerville, one immediately � associates it with the historical prestige that it gained during the Revolutionary' War. Perhaps, in the years to come, one will remember Schuylerville as the home of several famous authors and journalists who started their careers in the Publications Club that met every Tuesday at 3:15 P. M. The Publications Club could rightly be the starting place of future authors and journalists, for in this club students have the opportunity of editing and publishing a real newspaper. Thus, every Tuesday at the appointed hour, Schuylerville’s gift to the literary world met with Miss Stefic to make plans for the next issue of the school paper. The Burgoyne Crier. Their ultimate aim was to publish an attractive, original, interesting, and progressive newspaper. The monthly- issues contained editorials, a continued story, sport news, jokes, school news, letters of former S. H. S. students at college, book reviews, and il- lustrated colored covers. Miss Avc McGarry was editor-in-chief, assisted by several capable editors and reporters under the direction of Miss Louise V. Stefic, Literary Advisor, and Miss Dorothy Lasher, Technical Advisor. The practical training received from this journalistic club will be of decided benefit to the literary genuises who will march through the sacred portals of the schoolhouse on the corner to far corners of the literary world. —ALBERTA MORRILL ’37 Front row. left to right: Ii.

Page Forty-seven SCHOOL DAZE 1925 The first roll call is answered at the little school on the corner of Spring Street and Broadway. Mac Harvey conducted an active campaign for president of the kindergarten class. 192(5 The popular Alberta Morrill begins breaking little boys’ hearts. (She’s still going strong.) “Bucky” Pratt (our hulu-hulu dancer) delivers a most interesting discourse in assembly on “The Physicologically Incomprehensible Phenomena in the Metaphysical Hypotheses.” 1927 Bob Cummings (the best dressed senior) sports his first long trousers. Catherine McCarty, the child wonder, plays her fiddle in a recital before the former Kaiser of Germany. 1928 “Johnnie” Peters, the math wizard, bewilders his teachers by ex- plaining in detail the fourth dimension. Little June Gifford, the class coquette, grows an inch. 1929 Effie Booth, future Nobel Prize winner, amazes the field of liter- ature with her narrative poem entitled, “I’m Afraid to Go Home in the Dark.” Tempus Fugit. 1930 Marge Myers, class Venus, wins local beauty contest, thereby earning title “Miss Schuylerville.” Ed Robbins applies for position as junior partner in the Freemont law office. 1931 Ra3' Stevens, of debating fame, loses both heart and head to Mar- jorie Mathis. Jack Closson enters his “puddle jumper” in the famous Vanderbilt Cup race at Miami. If you look very, very carefully, in our new trophy case you might see the cup he brought back. 1932 James McLindon, radical young seventh grader, organizes a sit-down strike for more homework and longer hours. John Coffin tries in vain to grow sideburns. 1933 Glenn Varney’ drives us all mad playing Schubert’s Serenade on the drums. 1934 Arthur Hunter earns the coveted title of class cut-up when he asked one of his teachers, “Who was Petticoat Loose and why was she banished to the bottom of the Bed Sea?”—Again, Tempus Fugit. 1935 The love bug works havoc in the class. Walt Wood, disappointed in love, decides all women are fickle, childish, stupid, and shallow, and resolves when he grows up to become a hermit on a desert isle and get away from it all. 1936 William Burch puts a creepy reptile down Aileen Kearney’s neck, thus causing a riot in biology class. 1937 With a tear and a smile we leave our beloved class rooms, but our love for our Alma Mater will ever be in our hearts.
