Sammy DeLuca “The House of Bells,” a house that had been deserted for years, in which mysterious bells were heard to twinkle at night; a house where people mysteriously disappeared, only to return apparently dead, and then come miraculously to life; a house where mysterious footprints ended in the middle of the room as if the owner had sud- denly sprouted wings, was a perfect setting for the things which hap- pened on the night of November 4, 1938, with such bewildering rapidity that the audience was held rooted to their seats. “The Phantom Bells” produced by the Senior Class of 1939 broke all traditional records of previous years in staging a mystery drama, which necessitated perfect timing. The atmosphere of seemingly inevitable disaster, mingled with love, surprise, and suspense was created by a tine cast of characters under the direction of Miss Stefic.

We pray we’ll have the courage To fling your colors high. In this world of sports and studies, We’ll do our best to win The highest name of honor That there’s ever, ever been. When at last we’ve said goodbye To the many friends we’ve made, May we be all the better For our happy high school days; And when we get downhearted And everything goes wrong, The thoughts of our old Schuylerville Makes everything a song.
