It was later given the title, “Lampadarian.” To be a member of the National Honor Society, one must be chosen for his achievements in Scholar- ship, Leadership, Service, and Character. The members are selected by Mr. Townley and members of the faculty. As only fifteen per cent of a class are chosen, it is a hard-earned privilege. The National Honor Society is respected throughout the United States, and it has been well repre- sented in the Schuylerville High School. The students who wear these pins participate in many sports and activities in which they are active members or officers. The present society has eight members: Teresa Corsetti, Jeanette Gagne, Margaret Hopkins, Wil- liam Launder, Betty Jean Osterhoudt, Alfred Savelis, Duncan Thorne, and Veronica Young. This year’s officers are: President. Duncan Thorne; Vice-President, Teresa Corsetti; Secretary, Mar- garet Hopkins; and Treasurer, Veronica Young.

We have also been preparing for our Junior Prom, but the outstanding event of the year was the arrival of our Junior rings. The sale of candy has also been very profitable. Our Junior year has, all in all, been very enjoyable, and we are looking forward with pleasure to our Senior year. The Junior officers for both home rooms are: Room 14 President - Julia Honeywell Vice-President - William Hewitt Secretary ...

As a group, we felt strange and out-of-place changing rooms teachers, and subjects at the end of every period. Then there was the problem of getting in and out of the locker rooms. We had to adapt ourselves to an entirely new life and surroundings. After we were settled, we set about electing class officers. They were elected as follows: Room 10: President, Donald Forbes; Vice-President, Paul Coffinger; Secre- tary, June Boyce; Treasurer, Rudolph Greenwalt; Student Council Representatives, Marie Blodgett and William Harris. Room 11 elected: President, Paul Beaulac; Vice-President, Herbert Roberts; Treasurer, Fred Pechette; Secretary, Lena Sanders; Student Council Representatives, Timothy O’Brien and Marion Toleman. Our Freshman year, like the other years of our school life, went altogether too quickly. Before we knew it, graduation night was before us. Everyone was excited and somewhat frightened, although we were all glad we had succeeded in our first year of high school. The following September our Sophomore year loomed ahead of us. Getting settled was not a difficult task, as we were acquainted with the rooms, teachers, and other students of the high school. This year Room 12 elected the following class officers: President, Robert Wilson; Vice-President, Marie Blodgett; Secretary, Ann Callahan; Treasurer, William Harris; Student Council Representatives, Timothy O’Brien and Robert Galusha. The Sophomores in Room 9 elected: President, Doro- thy Whiting; Vice-President, June Boyce; Secretary, L na Sanders; Treasurer, Susanna Flanders; Student Council Representatives, Thelma Cormie and Marie Miner. The outstanding event in our Sophomore year was the buying of our class pins. We have not had a dull moment during these first two years, and we are eagerly looking forward to our Junior and Senior years which we hope will be as enjoyable as the years which have gone by. 20 Matilda Hebert ’43 FRESHMEN The Freshman class of Sehuylerville High School started its march through school in September 1940. In the beginning of the year, after getting settled, we elected officers. Room 10 elected Beryl Fitzgerald. President; Clarence Booth, Vice-President; Mary Lou Dolan, Secretary; Edward DeVoe, Business Manager; Nancy Haas, Richard Townley and Douglas Bean, Student Council Representatives. Room 11 elected Robert Phillips, President: Walter LaVoy, Vice-President; Vernon Miner, Secretary; Doris Bean and Henry Wilson, Student Council Representatives. We worked hard but had loads of fun in our Freshman year. Our Freshman Frolic was a great financial success. The Freshmen entered a play contest for Junior High here in Sehuylerville. and also presented the same plays in an exchange program at Ballston Spa Junior High School. We enjoyed a sleigh ride to Bacon Hill Grange in January. We participated in most sports and proved outstanding in some. The Freshmen boys won intramural basketball and touch football, and the girls won intramural basketball. Raymond Maranville, Beryl Fitzgerald, Arthur Almy, and Robert Haley played on the Junior Varsity Basketball team. We think we’ve done pretty well for our Freshman year and hope to continue to progress as the years go on. Mary Lou Dolan ’44 21 GRADE 8 i GRADE 7 22 THE CLASS HISTORY In honor of two people who have played an important part in our history. On the morning of September seventh, nineteen hundred and twenty-eight, a bright red sun peeked cautiously ov r the eastern hills and. after making certain that thirty-odd five-year-olds were still sound asleep in their respective beds, it rose as hurriedly as its dignity and astronomical possibilities would permit. Th n, when eight-thirty finally rolled around to the village in the valley, Old Sol glanced earth- ward just in time to see thirty-odd doors open before the impatient shove of an equal number of town mothers who. in turn, dragged as many bright, happy-looking little tots in the general direction of S. H. S. Thus was the sun a witness to the class of '41 as we started on our way toward room sixteen and Mr. Stanton, not to mention the extensive educational opportu- nities that were to be offered us in a commanding sort of way. Needless to say, our first seven years were rather unimportant so far as we are concerned now. In those first years we were as clay in a mold; we received as solid a base as we could acquire individually to prepare us for our high school career. By the time we reached seventh grade, we began to feel just a little more necessary to the scheme of things. However, the bitter went with the sweet as was the case when we first glanced at a state Regents paper. Despite our nervous condition we managed to struggle through them, and, in doing so, we took our first definite step towards our diploma. Henceforth the tempo of our high school life commenced to increase. We en- tered ninth grade hitting on all thirtv-seven cylinders, and w ' took the vcar right in our stride, along with the five uncomfortable days that constituted freshman week. We vowed left and right what we’d do to the freshmen when we became seniors. Too bad the custom had to slio away. Nevertheless we weren’t exaetlv maltreated as we went through a whirl of more or less diligent study, freshman dances, and the like. And as a climax to all this, if you can recall the event, there came th Junior High School graduation. I don’t believe I’m too far wrong in saving that that was a fairly accurate preview of our Senior experience that is so rapidly approaching. The increased prestige that accompanied our promotion to the Sophomore cla s was still a little ragged around the edges, but it managed to stay with us for the remainder of the year. And then, after a restful summer interlude, we returned to S. H. S. in the ca- pacity of the Junior class. This was a big year for us, as one memorable event fol- lowed another. One of the first things that occupied our attention was the purchase of our Junior rings. We finally made the decision and every one was satisfied (well, weren’t you?!) Following this came the really outstanding event of the year—our Junior Prom. And it was as successful as it was outstanding. The whoie-hearted co-operation of the class, combined with the beautiful decorations and the best of music (this borne out by the fact that this year’s Junior class engaged the same orchestra to entertain at their Prom)—all this served to make the event an all- around success. And then, to finish off a perfect year, “My Moth°r-in-law” played to a capacity house and gave the entire class something to smile about as long as they’ll remember it. But now comes the final chapter of our class history. For the past few months we’ve been rolling through our Senior year, not very much aware that soon we’ll be leaving school, not just for summer vacation, but for the rest of our lives. Now that graduation is approaching we’re beginning to think a little more seriously of it. We’ve had experiences in our Senior year that we’ll never forget. The Senior Play— (remember the “Hob-goblin House” where every one knew every one else’s lines and 21 most generally spoke them?); and of course we can’t overlook the fact that we’ll be the first class (so far as we can recall) that will wear caps and gowns for the Baccalaureate services. Variety is the spice of life. Most important of all, the Senior trip to Washington under the guardianship of Mr. Stanton will always be remembered. Too many exciting things occurred on the trip to go into it with any detail. Let it suffice to say that the Seniors consid- ered it an absolute success in every way. But now time is crowding us through the last deciding phases of our high school career. We won’t be together very much longer; there will be a thousand varied paths for us to travel when we leave the confines of S. H. S. And we’ll all make the best of what we do in years to come. If we don’t we can’t expect to be remem- bered in the halls and classrooms and on the playing fields of our school. But we will be remembered! Rodman Funston ’41 THE CLASS PROPHECY I’m walking down West 126th Street minding my own business wThen who steps out of the Hudson Hotel and bumps into me but—well you’d never guess, so I’ll tell you. It’s Harry DeLuca. “Why Gus, what are you doing in the Big City?” I say to him; and after he recovers from his surprise at seeing me, he tells me that he’s taking his yearly three weeks vacation. “I’m the chief superintendent in charge of sales for Little Daisy Liver Tablets out in Chicago,” he tells me. Then, desiring to have a nice long talk and catch up on the whys and wherefores of any of our old classmates that Gus happens to know about I suggest that we go over to “Good Time Charlie’s” and reminisce over some cold borsht. To this he agrees instantly, and so we hail a taxi and head for Charlie’s. On the way over I suddenly remember that Gus was occasionally troubled with stomach ulcers back at school and so I say to him, “Maybe we had better reminisce over bock instead of borsht on account of borsht isn’t good for ulcers,” to which he replies, “No, that’s all right. You see. a few years ago I swallowed my cigar when I went to sleep in a bowling alley, and ever since then my stomach hasn’t bothered me.” This revelation relieves me no end. When we finally get to Charlie’s, I hand the driver a five dollar bill and tell him to keep the change. I’m given quite a jolt when he says, “Ten years ago I'd say you were crazy.” The tone of that remark struck a familiar note in my memory, and I looked at the fellow more closely. I was more than a little surprised to see Bob Lang wearing glasses and a mustache. Well, Bob parks his cab and then the three of us pick a quiet booth in Charlie’s luncheonette and sit down to talk things over. After I place our order, Bob com- mences to converse. He says that he left Old Saratoga nearly three years back and so he’s pretty well informed about all the guys and gals of the class of ’41. Gus and I are more than a little flabbergasted to hear that “Dune” Thorne is principal of S. H. S. and two of the teachers on the faculty with him are “Dot” Sherman, who is instructing the freshmen in social studies, and “Tucky” Garnsey who is spreading sunshine among the little kiddies in third grade. One of the “little kiddies in third grade” belongs to Bill Launder, the proprietor of the town’s leading drug depot, also a member of the Board of Education from where he is trying hard to have a soda fountain installed in the cafeteria. Maybe he figures that Bill Jr. might some day make a little money on the side, jerking sodas. By this time, Gus has started to pant for the cold borsht, but I silence him with a fork and Bob goes on. Albert Winney is now in the wholesale cheese business, while not too far away, in a busy office building in Saratoga Springs, Marie Reulet takes notes as given by Donald Neilson, an up and coming businessman, also in the cheese business. Margaret Hopkins quietly copies the cute quotations that issue from businessman Winney. They say the competition is terrific. By this time, Charlie has brought in the cold borsht and we finally are getting ourselves around that when someone turns on the radio. A strange, gurgling sound staggers out of the loudspeaker, and we all look at each other. Sherman! Yes, “Chuck” has become famous as the nation’s most popular comedian. Currently appearing with him on the program are those quiet little characters from a quaint little town, acclaimed a second Brenda and Cobina,----------need I say more? Who’d 25 a’ thunk such a thine: of Veronica and Jeanette! The artist on Chuck’s program happens to be the famous crooner, Crosby’s protege', “Bing” Hewitt. But then someone in the control room turns the wrong dial (it might have been Lee Mathis) and the voice box gives a couple of convulsive coughs and goes dead. “Say, whatever happened to Alex Nadeau?” Gus asks. “Oh, he runs a streamlined roller skating rink on the Lake George road,” Boh answers. “Betty Martinel is a buyer at Macy’s here in New York. We go to an occasional movie together. Wes Pleshko was down to see me for a few days last month and he said he had a concession on the barber business up in Albany. A1 Loomis came to New York to attend a farmer’s convention and now he’s an instuc- tor at Arthur Murray’s. Kaye Farrell is down there too. I think she and Vera Lancier room together at the Pennsylvania. Vera is chief clerk and secretary in the fourth district courthouse.” “What about Tom Hathaway? Wrhat’s he up to?” this from yours truly. “The last I heard,” Bob replies, “he owned a wholesale farm machinery business. He was doing all right by himself. And of course you know that McCarthy and Sirchia are ‘pros’ in the athletic world now. We’ve all heard about Alfred Savelis, too. He’s turned out to be quite a scientist.” “Pm from Chicago,” Gus remarks, “and Pve been out a few times to hear “Sonny” Venn’s orchestra playing at the ‘Club Zip.’ Milton Larmon is the master of cere- monies there.” Then from Bob, “And who’d have thought Lucille Pett would be a famous au- thor? Right now she’s out in Los Angeles writing the script for the new Goldwyn and Guardiola production, ‘Dumas Rides Again.’ It’s all about a motorcycle cop. Kate Ellis is playing the female lead in the picture, I hear, and Betty Osterhoudt is in charge of costume and dress designing. Eleanor Coffin is executive secretary at the G. G. studios.” Gus, who has been guzzling borsht in a quiet sort of way, pipes up and says, “You might have read the sport page of the ‘Times’ the other morning where it an- nounced that Bob Tubbs was signed up with the Rangers to swing a hockey stick. They’re trying to make him give up his motorcycle. I also read where Teresa Cor- setti was appointed the state supervisor of the Y. W. C. A. And, say, in case you didn’t know, Margaret Almy is an entertainer down at Earl Carroll’s Diamond Circle. Angela Natale was the hat check girl there, but Rod has it in his gossip column, that she's left for Florida. Incidentally, “Zark” is training in the peninsula state.” But now I look at my watch. “It’s getting late, men. I guess we’d better hit the pavement.” “That’s right,” Bob agrees. “My business isn’t so good that I can sit around and waste time.” Gus grunts an agreement, and so we pay Charlie and walk outside. Harry is about to ask my opinion on Sun Beam in the fifth race at Jamaica when we see a man in a blue uniform standing in front of Bob’s cab. Then I notice that Bob has parked next to a fire hydrant, and I realize at the same time that the cop isn’t writing him a thank-you note. Well, Lang is just about to yell that he mistook the fire plug for a hitching post, when John Law turns around and—for gosh sakes! It’s Hugh Ilibbert! Hugh puts the ticket back in his pocket, and we’re all one big happy family. But still being in a hurry, I bid the boys a fond farewell and leave. I know I may not see them again for quite a while but I feel pretty good regardless, now that I know all the “gang” are up in the world. Rod Funs ton ’41 THE CLASS WILL We, the graduating class of nineteen hundred and forty-one, do hereby estab- lish and ordain this as our last will and testament, before leaving Schuylerville High School to go on to new and better things. By doing thus, we leave to our followers our most cherished heritage. To the Junior Class we leave our beloved Senior room and seats, in the hope that they find as much success and happiness in them as we have had during our Senior year. Also to the Juniors as a whole, that they may make a success of their Senior play, we leave the acting ability of Eleanor Coffin, and to the sound effect man, Cliff Dumas leaves his talents in that line. To the Junior boys who go 26 on the Washington trip, we leave Joe Guardiola’s glamor boy tactics displayed by him in New York and Washington. To the Sophomores we leave what we consider our most priceless possession in the form of Mr. Stanton. He has been our adviser and friend for several years. Treat him well and benefit by his presence. To you we also leave our school spirit and best wishes for your success with your Junior Prom. To the Freshman Class we bequeath our studious habits and our places in the halls of S. H. S. To those in the student body, of whom we are especially fond, we bequeath the following: To little Leo Kelly, Veronica Young’s towering height to help him better him- self for center on next year’s basketball team; Donald Neilson’s heavy beard to “Pepper” Martin; Kate Farrell’s gift of gab to Dot Toleman; to Thelma Mathis, Jeanette Gagne’s neatness and politeness. We don’t know what Elsie Coffin would do without “Chuck” Sherman, so we leave him to her, mustache and all. Harry De- Luca’s high ambitions we leave to Charles Field, while to Jack Keeley we leave Al Loomis’ ability to make love to the girls. Frank Sirchia’s sincerity we leave to Julia Honeywell, along with Margaret Almy’s slim waistline to “Tex” LaVoy. The athletic abilities of Teresa Corsetti we leave to Juanita Ketchum. We leave Don Hewitt's quietness to Will Rogers, and to Fred VanderPoel, the mechanical inclina- tions of “Lee” Mathis. Margaret Hopkins’ seriousness we leave to Josephine Arsen- ault. To Betty Phillips we leave Vera Lancier’s typing ability. Lucille Pett leaves her long walk home from school to her sister, Shirl°v (that is, when the Plymouth’s not running). We leave to June Launder, Kate Ellis’ ability to attract the male sex. To George Hathaway we leave the ability to square dance that his brother, Tom, possesses. Milton I armon leaves his well-groomed mustache to Chauncey DeGarmo. To Loren Salley we leave the jitter-bugging ability of Alexis Nadeau. To Helen Pleshko we leave the good characteristics of Wes—just to keep them in the family. To Richard E. Townley (just so people won’t be confused as to who we mean, we put in the initial) Albert Winney leaves his curly hair (or did we make a mis- take with the initial?). Betty Jean Osterhoudt wishes to bequeath to Margaret Stiles her infatuation for Napoleon Irish. To “Pat” Walsh we leave Marie Reulet’s famous giggle. The friendliness which Bette Martinel possesses is left to Ann Cal- lahan and Matilda Hebert. To Jeanette Baine we leave the ability to day-dream that is Evelyn Garnsey’s. To Robert Phillips we leave the height of Rod Funston, so grab onto it, Bob, and grow a little. Dorothy Sherman’s shyness we leave to Joseph Biss. Sonny Venn wishes his place in the orchestra to be willed to Vernon Miner, and so we do. Now you in the student body whom we have not yet included, cheer up, for we have something for you. We leave to all the girls who need it the ability to wear clothes that is Angela Natale’s. The self-confidence in speaking that Bill Launder possesses is left to you so that you may use it to give your senior speeches when the time comes. “Zark” McCarthy’s athletic ability is left to all the boys so that Schuylerville High can always have winning teams. Bob Lang leaves his position as manager of a championship team to whoever can fill his shoes. The wit of “Dunk” Thorne that has been displayed, especially in geometry and chemistry classes, we bequeath to the whole student body to make S. H. S. always a cheeiful place. Alfred Savelis’ knowledge which he has kept stored up in his head is willed to all the students so that they might get straight “S” report cards. And last, but not least, to all the male students who have girl friends outside of Schuylerville, we leave Bob Tubbs’ motorcycle so they won’t have to walk to and from their dates. We dedicate to Mr. Stanton our year book for his keen interest shown in our work and for his splendid comradeship for three years as home room teacher. As the time draws near for our graduation, our will complete, we are very happy, but it is here in S. H. S. that our thoughts shall always be.

The Seniors had had some previous experience in the art of putting on plays, bemg the first class to present a Junior play. Their efforts made this mvsterv thriller a mighty hit. y 28 Duncan Thorne ’41 WASHINGTON TRIP Leaving Schuylerville at 6:00 on Monday morning, April 14, with our good friend Mr. Stanton, we journeyed to Albany. We arrived in Albany a short time later and were joined by the Stillwater seniors, who were to go with us on our trip. We left Albany at 7:30 for New York, where we were to stay the first night. We arrived at Grand Central station at 10:55 A.M. and embarked for Hotel Taft, one of the finest in New York. After luncheon we separated and went wherever we desired, as there was no tour scheduled for New York. That evening we attended Fred Waring’s Chesterfield broadcast at the Vanderbilt theatre as guests of Mr. Stanton, and later in the eve- ning went to the “Calvacade of America Lady Ester’s Serenade, and Gay 90’s broad- casts. Earlv Tuesday morning we left for Washington by way of Annapolis. We trav- eled all during the morning stopping only for lunch at noon. We arrived in Annap- oljs about 3:00 in the afternoon. Here we were impressed with the magnitude of the Academy. We visited Bancraft Hall and viewed the trophies which the Acad- emy had won for sports. The tomb of John Paul Jones under the Chapel held our interest along with the Chapel itself. After viewing the indoor swimming pool, which is the largest in the world, and watching the activity of the midshipmen about the Academy, we left once more for the “City of Our Dreams,” Washington. At 5:10 P.M. we drove into Washington and were very much impressed by the stately look of this beautiful city. As we drove down Pennsylvania Avenue we could see in the distance the dome of the Capitol. In Washington we stayed at the Ebbitt Hotel. After dinner on Tuesday we were free to go where we wanted be- cause there were no special plans for the evening. Once again we were divided up into our individual groups to do what we might. We found amusement plentiful in the form of movies, parks etc. Many of us went to the Capitol theatre where we had the pleasure of seeing Horace Heidt and his “Musical Knights” in person. The next day our tours about Washington started. We set owf early and visited the Lincoln Memorial which was very impressive, with its tall columns and decora- tions about the top. From the Lincoln Memorial we journeyed southward to pic- turesque Arlington Cemetery where we visited the Tomb of the Unknown Soldier and the Amphitheatre. After viewing these, we went south to Washington’s home, Mount Vernon. Here we went through the beautiful gardens, the house and the tomb and noted many interesting things about Washington. Wednesday afternoon we visited the Washington Monument where we could get an excellent view of Washington from the top. We spent some time here climbing it. and then went to the Smithsonian Institute, and the Museum of Natural History, where we spent the remainder of the day. In the Smithsonian we viewed the “Spirit of St. Louis,” the plane in which Lindbergh flew to France. Here we saw many more things which interested us such as early automobiles, the dresses of the Presi- dents’ wives, early airplanes, steam engines and much more. In the Museum of Natural History we saw dinosaurs, many types of animals, progress of man, and many more interesting things about nature. In this building we also saw a piece of petrified wood which came from Saratoga Springs. Wednesday evening we visited the Congressional Library where we saw the original copy of the Declaration of Independence and the Constitution. In this building we also admired the fine mosaic figures. We also found a copy of the “Saratogian” in the library in which we read news of home. Later that evening we went swimming in a spacious pool at the Shoreham Hotel. We enjoyed this very much for it was our first swim of the new year. The next day being Thursday, we set out for the Franciscan Monastery where we went through the catacombs and the beautiful gardens surrounding it. After going through these buildings we went to the Federal Bureau of Investigation. In this building we were shown by our guide, who was a G-Man, the methods of filing finger prints and their use. We were also shown records of famous crooks such as John Dillinger, Ma Barker, A1 Capone and others. In a research lab we were shown machines which are used to track killers down and guns which were taken from famous criminals. After leaving this federal building we were taken to another— this time the Bureau of Printing and Engraving. Here we observed the way in which our paper money is made, from the time it enters the presses as blank paper until it comes out printed, cut, and ready for use. In this building we also were shown old money such as the old “greenbacks,” which were used some years ago. From here we visited the White House and were impressed by its stately ap- pearance and elaborate furnishings. It looked beautiful behind its shrubbery and fitting to be the home of our President. The Capitol was next to hold our interest with its beautiful mosaic painting and other works of art. The Senate chambers and House were interesting to us for here we saw the actual place where our laws were made. The dome was exceedingly interesting because of the scenery it showed on the inside. Outside of this building we were assembled for our picture. With this our tour of Washington ended, but 29 many of us saw much more which has not been mentioned here. Among: these extras were the Post Office building which is very picturesque with its marble floors and stairways, the fountains in Capitol park which are illuminated at night, the Melon art gallery, United States Court of Appeals, Lincoln Museum, the Ford Theatre, and Archives Building. Early Friday we set out for New York by way of Philadelphia. We stopped here in i hiladelpma for our dinner and visited Independence Hall and observed the fa- mous Liberty Bell. We also saw as we passed through the city, Betsy Ross’ home and Benjamin Franklin’s grave. We arrived in New York about 4:30 when we registered in Hotel Taft for the remainder of our stay. Since in New York there was Tu k 11 scheduled, we were again on our own. Many of us visited such places as the otatue of Liberty, Aquarium, Battery, and Chinatown. Our lust for amusement was answered by such persons and places as Clyde McCoy, Benny Goodman, Jimmy Horsey, Coney Island and Radio City Music Hall. After having snent our time, and money too, we returned home on Sunday night, the happiest students who ever re- turned to Sehuylerville after a Washington trip. William Launder ’41 HERE AND THERE i N WASHINGTON r 31 SPORTS COUNCIL This organization was started this year under the direction of Mr. Boivin. One resident and one non-resident was selected by both boys and girls from each gym class. The two groups, boys' and girls', met separately once a month to discuss intra- mu lal affairs. The sports council has also tried to help promote sportsmanship and to create a greater interest in all sports for both boys and girls. 32 VARSITY BASKETBALL—1910-11 Left to ri cht: First row: .1.

Schuylerville had one of its best years in basketball this year, winning Class C honors in the Northern Section, as well as the Saratoga County High School League. The boys from S. H. S. won the league the hard way, losing the first game and then winning the next thirteen straight. This year brought about a change in the Schuylerville schedule as it brought back their old rivals, Hoosick Falls. The Schuylerville lads played Hoosick Falls two non-league games, and what games they were! The Orange and Black lost the first heart-breaker by the score of 19 to 17, and the second game in an overtime pe- riod by the score of 21 to 18. The fellows from Hoosick Falls knew' that they had played two good games when the final whistle blew. This year Schuylerville will lose a man who has played four years of varsity basketball, William Hoey. They will also lose a top-ranking guard in Jack McCarthy, as well as the two regulars, W’ilfred Venn and Leo Nadeau. However, with many junior varsity lads to pick from, the team is looking forward to a good year next year. 33 JUNIOR VARSITY BASKETBALL 1910-41 Lef! to right: First row: B. Fitzgerald. D. Nadeau. J.

Although the team seemed to click in some games, it failed in others. Schuylerville played two beautiful non-league games with Hoosick Falls, winning them both. The boys’ record was four wins against four losses and one tie. The season as a whole was successful, and this year’s team expects to go places with about the very same men, as the players will be more experienced. We hope to see the Schuylerville lads on top this year, and the rest of us will do our best to support them. 35 SOCCER—1940 Left to riicht: First row: J. Sullivan. O. Martin. F. Sirchia, C. Dumas, J.

We believe that this is a most important milestone, for here we may pause and look both ways. We can glance back upon the joyful times we have had in high school, where we have learned to better ourselves in every way possible. Knowledge, improved manners, and new friends are some of our accomplishments to be viewed with pride. We are now fully prepared to face our future, and feel that we can take our places in society as good citizens. Mingled with our pleasure and joy we feel a twinge of sorrow, for now the time has come to say good-bye to our teachers and school chums. Each of us has his own road to travel, and many of us may venture far from the flock. As we bid our Alma Mater farewell, we hope we may always make her proud of us—may we always fling her colors high. 45 ■ w
