Those tapped this year were: Timothy O’Brien, Marie Blodgett. Donald Forbes. Mona Gra velle. Mildred Neilson. and Paul Beaulac. The officers are: Ann Callahan, president: Donald Forbes, first vice-president; Timothy O’Brien, second vice-president; Matilda Hebert, secretary; ami Marie Blodgett, treasurer. I lie aim of the Schuylerville Honor Society is to promote scholarship, leadership, service, and the develop- ment of character among the students. —Marie Blodgett '43 7 J«� n� tt« B m« SENIOR PERSONALITIES Best Student___________________ Best Looking Girl______________ Best Looking Boy_______________ Best Dressed Girl______________ Best Dressed Boy_______________ Best Girl Dancer_______________ Best Boy Dancer________________ Best Girl Athlete______________ Best Boy Athlete_______________ Most Debonaire_________________ Most Original__________________ Most Witty_____________________ Most Friendly__________________ Most Popular Girl______________ Most Popular Boy_______________ Best Personality_______________ Most Sleepy____________________ Student Most Likely to Succeed- Student with Most School Spirit Favorite Authors_______________ Favorite Actor_________________ Favorite Actress_______________ Favorite Orchestra_____________ Favorite Radio Personality_____ ___________________Mildred Neilson ___________________Ann Callahan ___________________F rancis Keeley _____________________Tillie Hebert _______________________Joe Corsetti ----------------------June Boyce ____________________Donald Nadeau _________________Catherine Sirchia ___________________Thomas Haley ___________________Mona Gravelle -------------------Tillie Hebert William Harris, Catherine Sirchia ___________________Marie Blodgett -------------------Marie Blodgett -------------------Joseph Corsetti -------------------Marie Blodgett -------------------Robert Periard -------------------Mildred Neilson --------------------Jeanette Baine -----------Zane Grey, Eric Knight ----------------------John Payne ----------------------Betty Grable ----------------------Harry James -----------------------Red Skelton 10 JEANETTE BAINE “Bewildered” Jeanette has always been the girl that has studied hard and reaped the reward of high marks. It hasn’t been until this year that we have seen her down to “Babe’s” and different places with the school crowd. Maybe the gas shortage, Green- wich, draft board, and tire situation accounts for it, or per- haps it’s because some of the students don’t believe in frank statements, but Jeanette does, and more power to her. But whatever it is, we’re glad to see her mixing in with more of her classmates.

ERWIN BAKER—“Bill” “Lonely Road” It might easily be said that Bill is the baby of the class for he is actually only fifteen years of age. He may not be credited with the fact of being named our honor student, but he surely must possess something, to have gotten him so far in so few years. Bill has always tried to make us believe that he’s girl shy and quite uninterested in the fairer sex; but from observa- tion several noon hours, we are inclined to think differently. Intramural (1-4); Local History Club (2); General Discus- sion Club (4). MARIE BLODGETT—“Blodg” “When Johnny Comes Marching Home” Marie is a favorite with all her classmates, and is active in nearly all school activities. Perhaps its her charming person- ality, willingness to help others, and her happy-go-lucky way that make her so well liked by all. She is one of the few who has had the honor of being chosen for the National Honor So- ciety. Marie hopes to fulfill her plans of being a secretary by going to a Business College after graduation. In our opinion she will make a capable and efficient secretary.

PAUL BEAULAC “Open Your Heart” On glancing around the Senior Room, one’s attention might be focused on the striking contrast between the giant and quiet Paul compared with the shortness of Erwin Baker, who occupy seats near each other. Maybe when Paul is called in the Army, he’ll be able to secure a position (racket) as Post Master, for he has had quite a bit of experience delivering and collecting mail around town.

She is also talented in singing, and was one of the outstanding cheerleaders. June has con- fided in us that she has plans to become a child nurse as soon as it is convenient for her. With her pleasant ways and charm- ing personality, we expect that she will be a great success in her chosen vocation.

JOSEPH CORSETTI —“Little Joe ’ “Happy Go Lucky” This year we were very fortunate in having our basketball team under the excellent management of Joe. He not only managed the team but also had the job as journalist in writing up our numerous victories, for the “Saratogian.” Joe, like his brothers and sisters before him, is very popular with his class- mates and teachers. To pro e that some childhood friendships are everlasting, we can always refer to Joe and Don, for in school, at play, and in work they are practically inseparable.

ANN CALLAHAN—“Chicken” “Always” Ann is another student who has acquired many friends during the course of her high school years. To her teachers she’s been a great satisfaction because of her grades, and to her class- mates, a good friend. The majority of the class expected to call Ann, Dr. Callahan, after her father, but now it seems that she no longer wants to follow in her father’s footsteps; instead she has changed her plans and prefers being a French teacher. “NOUS TE VOULONS L BONNE CHANCE!” As for Ann and Tommy, no one has been able to listen in on their private tete-a-tetes, but wouldn’t we love to?

DONALD FORBES—“Den” “Love in Bloom” Don ha been especially active and popular in school life this year. He has had the honor of being chosen as our Senior Class President and incidentally has done a great job at it. He also has been chosen as a member of the National Honor Society, two of the lvghe=t honors that can be bestowed upon any Senior. At times when Mr. Stanton was not available, Don made it possible for us to see the movies in some of out- classes by operating the machine himself—Maybe that’s just a prelude to his future plans, for he someday hopes to become an electrician.

Far from it! On following her daily schedule we find that she is taking all the subjects re- quired for a nurse. That means one more name added to the list of many; we expect her to be one of the best. Junior High Dramatics (1); Junior Times (i); Intramurals (1-4); Library (2-4). ROBERT GALUSHA—“Bob” “Down on the Farm” If you are walking down the aisle and should stumble over someone’s feet, you can be quite sure they were Bob’s without looking to see. Ever since we’ve known Bob, we think he’s never had his feet any place but the aisles. Those feet will soon be wearing G. I. boots. We prophecy that he will be able to keep these from out of the sergeant's way and soon rise to a high position in the armed forces. Junior High Dramatics (1); Intra murals (1-4); Student Council (2-4). THELMA CORMIE—“Honey” “She Gave Her Heart to a Soldier” On walking into “Babe’s,” the favorite hangout of the ma- jority of the high school students, we would find our waitress to be none other than one of our classmates. That’s right Thelma; we mean you. Perhaps that’s the reason wre find so many tardy marks on your report card; well, we can blame it on that, anyway, can’t we? Being another of Mrs. Elwell’s Homemaking students, she hopes to carry on her work with food by becoming a dietician. Here’s wishing you success and happiness.

RUDOLPH GREEN WALT—“Rudy” “Full Moon and an Empty Heart” It’s kinda’ hard to say anything about you. Rudy, because we really don’t know you very well. You should go out of tener. It’s good for one to get out and among classmates and friends once in awhile. You have said you plan to work next year. We hope you’ll find agreeable employment and make new friends.

The possession of one of the most outstanding is Carm, and she likewise has the eyes to go with it. From watching Carmella instruct the fifth period gym classes, we are given the impression she would like to be a physical education teacher, and we believe she would make an excellent one. Junior High Dramatics (1); Junior High Chorus (1); Glee Club (1-3); Intnimurals (1-4): General Discussion Club (3); Sports Council (4); Service Club (4). ALBERTA DREW—“Frenche” “Keep ’Em Happy” Maybe the reason our armed forces are winning so many bat- tles is due to the fact that girls of S. H. S. are writing so many letters to keep up their morale—especially Frenche. We seldom see a study hall period that Frenche’s in go by without having another letter written to some lucky sailor, marine, or soldier whether he may be stationed on the sunny beaches of Cali- fornia or in the darkest corners of Africa. Too bad more girls don’t take the same interest!

THOMAS HALEY—“Tom” “I Guess I’ll Have to Dream the Rest” Tommy joined our graduating class this last September. It must have be n a rather difficult job for him to adjust himself to our schedules in so short a time; but he has done an excel- lent job in it. Everyone, especially Ann, finds him to be one of the best, and he is a cooperative person to have in our Senior Class. We’re sorry we couldn’t have shared your friendship in our other years of S. H. S., Tom. As you go out into the world, w'e hope that you will make as many friends as you have during your short stay in S. H. S. Intramural (4). KATHLEEN DREW—“Wildcat” “I’m Waiting to Hear from You” Kathleen has been one of the conspicuous members of the Senior Class. Her nickname has seemed to suit her, especially in sports. While Kate Sirehia played guard, Kathleen did an equally good job in playing forward on the girls’ champion basketball team. Kate should be complimented on her willing- ness to participate in anything the class or school asks of her. We shan’t forget her diligent work and time she spent in help- ing us decorate for the Junior Prom.

I 1 TERESA EVERTS—'‘Terese “Please Think of Me” Teresa has followed her brother in many ways since coming to this school, especially in the highlights of sports. Teresa also has helped Mildred a great deal in supervising the sale of war bonds and stamps during this past year. Junior High Dramatics (1); Junior High Chorus (1); Junior Times (1); Intramural� (1-4); Library Club (3); Hurgoyne Crier (4). WILLIAM HARRIS—“Biir “Why Don’t You Fall in Love With Me” The old adage “Never worry, never shirk; never kill yourself With work,” would fit Bill to a T. Bill has been one of those unlucky fellows who has had a brother before him in school establishing all sorts of athletic, social, and scholastic records for him to try to live up to. But you’ve done your best, and a good job. we know Bill. There must be somewhere in you a tiemendous amount of hard work stored up too, because you’ve boen so awfully careful about letting it slip out in anything but verv tiny quantities at a time. After graduation, Uncle Sam will take that out of you though.

CAI HER INF FALSONE—i%Babe “Looking for Romance” Kate Falsone has always been the quietest of the four Kates who have been friends together for all their school years. She has been loyal to her class and her school. Basketball has played quite a part in Babe’s school days and the future fore- sees work, unclassified. Glee Club (1-3): Junior High Chorus (1): Junior High Dra- matics (1); Intramornls (1-4); General Discussion Club (4); Library Club (4). MONA GR A VELLE—“Grav” “Savin’ Myself for Bill” Mona has tried to make us believe that there is no special love in her life, but ve are inclined to know better after acci- dentally seeing one of her V-letters from a Marine. How about that tall red-head we used to hear so much about?—Too bad Uncle Sam n eded him across, but don’t let it worry you— There’s a lot like you in the same boat, including your girl friend, Tillie. Don’t get us wrong; we’re sure her mind is not onlv occupied with a Marine. She’s also active in school ac- tivities and seriously hopes to have a Home Economics Depart- ment of her own to teach some day.

For awhile it looked as though Tillie would have to give up one of her ambitions, but now we hear the good news that Navy Nurses and Navy men can marry. I guess that leaves us two things to wish you all the luck in the world with. Mrs. Reynolds or Ensign Reynolds N. N. C. We’re sure you’ll succeed in everything you undertake, and for proof we just hav to look at your class record. We might also add that S. H. S. was proud to have such a good cheerleader for basket- ball.

DORIS HOPKINS—“Hoppy” “Scmeday My Prince Will Come” Doris runs a close second for the quietest g’rl of the Senior ('lass of ’43. She has always been a good student and a good friend to tho«e with whom sh� has been closely associated. These dualities which she has should help her to be a success in whatever she undertakes.

FRANCIS KEELEY—“Little Keel” “Now and Then” A good excuse for not having your homework done is a mighty handy thing to have, and “Little Keel’’ can usually provide a sufficient reason. You should have let more people in on your precious excuses because goodness knows we could all have used them at one time or another. We don’t know what Frank’s plans are for the future, but we wish him the best of luck. Tumbling Squad (1): Junior High Dramatics (1); Intra- murals (1-4); Locil History Club (2): New Driver’s Club (3): Chef Club (4). MARIE MINER “Em Waiting” Marie should be greatly compbmented for her perseverance and detet mination. She stays much to herself, and she hasn’t confided in us just what her plans for next year may be, so all we can say is. good luck, Marie, and best wishes for a happy life after graduation. Glee Club (1-3); Junior High Chorus (1); New Driver's Club (1): Intramural (1); General Discussion Club (4); Burgoyne Crier (4). 16 KAYE MOSHER “Because You Have Gone Away” Faye has a soft voice, and mild manner until you arouse her anger! Then watch out, for her size is no indicator of her mighty spirit. Faye has not developed all her ability and op- portunities to their fullest in high school, but if and when she does, she should have a highly successful career in her chosen field—nursing.

DONALD NADEAU—‘“Zoel” “I’m Still Crazy For You” Don is the typical all-American boy. Though he is noticeably small in stature, you’d never know it, from the energy he puts into basketball and the enthusiasm he puts into all other sports and activities he undertakes. We have often heard Don speak of going in the Navy; perhaps his brother’s influence, or maybe the effect a Navy uniform has on the fairer sex, has something to do with it. All kidding aside Don, we knowr there’s more to it than that.

MILDRED NEILSON—“Millie” “I Walk Alone” Highest scholastic honors for the class of 1943 go to Mildred Neilson who will represent the graduating class as Valedic- torian. Millie has rendered her services in many ways to aid her class and school. She has been taking a commercial course during her four years of high school and her ability in this line has influenced her to attend a Business school elsewhere. She should be especiallv complimented on the splendid work she has done in supervising the sale of War Bonds and Stamps in high school.

JEAN PECHLITE—“Goon “How Can You Forget” On watching Jean for a day or so, one might often ask where she got all that pep and energy, especiallv the noticeable amount that emerges from h«r mouth. In addition to this she possesses the undeniable red hair and the temper that usually accompanies it. Like one of her pals, she is taking a Home Economics Course and desires to become a dietician. As you go out into the world, Jean, we hope the people you meet will appreciate your attributes and overlook your few faults. And m'ght we also add, you can become anyone’s friend if you pass on to them the good jokes you’ve told us.

Elaine has always done her share in all class activities, and she’s not afraid of work which is more than a whole lot of us can say. As the wheel of the future spins, it stops at the place marked nurse, and that is just what Sis desires. May your wishes be- come realities, Sis.

CATHRYN SALLEY— Kale” “An Angel in White” Kate is the girl who has the contagious giggle which has echoed throughout the corridors, study halls, and classes of S. H. S. for the past several years. Kate is an all around good sport. Wherever gymnastics are involved, she is to be found. We’re sorry she only had one year on the Varsity Cheerleading squad; she made a swell cheerleader. We're sure in the years to come when her wish of being a nurse is fulfilled, her patients will find her as sweet and pleasant as we, her classmates of today, think she is.

TIMOTHY O’BRIEN— T. “How Do You Fall in Love” You appear to be rather bashful and shy. Perhaps you are, but we have known times when you were very interested and rather friendly in the presence of a few special girls. Of course, we can’t blame you Tim; it may be only human nature. However we find some of your pals anything but shy and bashful—so don’t try to follow in their footsteps—we like you as you are! We predict that some day Tim will have a hand in running things at O’Brien’s; he has a pretty good start already.

CATHERINE SIRCHIA—“Greasy” “Miss You” “Sugar and spice and everything nice, that’s what girls are made of,” fits Kate aptly because during the twelve years she’s been with us she has proven herself so. The girls’ Intra- murals basketball team would have been rather helpless with- out the expert playing of Kate as guard; they’ve won many a championship with her help. She not only helps to win them but is quite a champion herself among the school crowd.

He has not afforded us very much about which we could tease him, but the name of Cecila makes him sit up and take notice for one reason or another. Fred is another of these fellows who expects to be singing soon “Dear Mom.” Never mind, Fred; they have swell U. S. O. shows in the army camps now.

MARGARET STILES—“Feggy” “Dreaming Dreams” Everytime a new type of costume jewelry comes out on the market or on the counters of the various 5 and 10’s, you may be sure that Peggy will have an example of it the next time she comes to school. Peggy has followed a commercial course here at S. H. S. and thinks she would like to take further work in business and become a secretary. .funior High Dramatics (1); Dice Club (1): Junior Hi ?h Chorus (1): Tutrnmurals (1-3); New Driver’s Club (2): Service Club (3-4); General Discussion Club (4): Burgo.vne Crier (4). ROBERT PER IA R D—“Perry” “I’d Love to Know You Better” Perry was on our Varsity basketball team this year and did a very good job as a guard. He was on the first team both in baseball and soccer. Perry has been working in the Oneida Markets, so we predict for next year a job, and after that—? Best of Luck, Perry! Intramural� (1-4); Sports Council (2-3); Student Coun- cil (4). MARION TOLLMAN—“Blondie” “Give Yourself a Pat on the Back” Although some may think that Blondie has acquired her “golden locks” through a beautician’s care, we know for a fact that it’s genuine, and beautiful at that. Its been the envy of many girls, and has attracted more than one fellow. Blondie, like many other girls of the Sen:or Class, has thought of answering her country’s urgent call for more nurses. You can be sure if she accomplishes her goal there will be more than one happy patient in her care.

P) PATRICIA WALSH—“Pal” “He’s My Guy” What could that bright red hue be in the third row in Miss Healy’s History Class? Oh, excuse us Pat; we didn’t think that you were blushing again. That’s one thing you and Don have in common—for we have noticed several times out of the many that you are together this striking characteristic that you both possess. Pat is interested in becoming a nurse. Perhaps she will follow' her sister and become a Navy nurse.

JOSEPH REED—“]o F “You’re in the Army Now” Not much can be said about Joe, for he was with us only a short time when Uncle Sam called him into service. While he was with us, he acquired many friends.

Whenever you want io find Woodie, you simply have to look in room ten for she majors in Business and is always doing a good deed for some fellow student who needs help in this or that. The many extra hours of work she has spent on the Burgoyne Crier and Schuyler have been greatly appreciated.

We’re here at last. All our efforts were not in vain. How eagerly we all look forward to graduation, but as we look back and remember, we do feel sad about leaving, don’t we? Ever since that first day, when we recited “one and one are two” with Miss Northrup and sometimes “one and one are four” remember?, we have had bigger problems confronting us—but we didn’t care; we had lots of fun and happiness in the meantime. In the third and fourth grades “pinafores” and “pig tails” were popu- lar and “Boy” how the boys did love to pull those braids! When, with our curiosity and interest, we reached the sixth and seventh grades, we had regents with which to cope. But, when we look back, they weren’t so bad after all. We were anxious to be seated in the eighth grade room, and thanks to Miss Myers’s drilling in diagraming we finally found ourselves as freshmen. We were a class of sixty-two students and being young, willing, and inexperi- enced, we were pushed around a lot by our higher classmen, but that didn’t keep us from being “happy go lucky” and free from worry. Remember our Junior High Grad- uation? Feeling pretty “big” and proud we received our diplomas with a smile of courage from Mr. Townley, and we were all set for our beginning (as it seemed to us). As Sophomores, we had our first big social event, “The Sophomore Hop.” That made our spirits soar. We shall never forget the good times we had in our home rooms with Mr. Decker. After a summer of little work and lots of play we were set to go. We were Juniors. The first few months we spent chattering about our summer vacation and about our friends. Then our Junior rings were put on display. We discussed and battled out our choice. We thought they were grand, and still each time we glance down at them we feel a pride and a love for the ring we had earned. This was the time we started saving money for our Senior Trip. We sold candy, tags, and spon- sored dances. Soon after that excitement died down, the class was in an uproar again. We racked our brains for a better idea than any other class ever had, for our Prom. Of course, we thought our idea was the best regardless—anyway for a week everyone’s hands worked like his tongue or shall we say like machines. We were as busy as bees and shall we say, glad to be rid of study hall and our classes. It was as suc- cessful as it was outstanding. We appreciate all Mr. Decker has done for us in those three years and everyone felt downhearted when he left us. The following year forty-iwo of us with Mr. Vanderwerker as class advisor, started our biggest and most exciting year of high school: our Senior Year! Many “unusual” things happened during this year. Edward Fish started the trend of join- ing the Service by enlisting in the Navy. Jack Vanderwerker followed, and then Mr. Vanderwerker left us also, he to join the Army. If ever there was a true friend and advisor, we want him to know that he was both. It seemed as if the months flew by. While struggling through January exams, we all wished that we could also join the Army or Navy. Early in the second semester Mr. Townley took Mr. Vanderwerker’s place as class advisor. He has helped us through our most difficult problems, namely the Senior trip and preparations for graduation. We appreciate all he has done for us and to him wish to express our most sincere gratitude. Very soon, we shall make room for others and each and every one of us will find a different path to follow in life’s woven pattern. Our paths will meet now’ and then, but never again will we be able to return to S. H. S. in the same manner. We hope that the memory of the Seniors will remain in every note of our beloved Alma- Mater and keep echoing through the walls of “good old” S. H. S. 21 —Elaine Reulet ’43 SENIOR CLASS PROPHECY Here we are in the station at Saratoga waiting for our train to New York. Since many of our classmates have found the'.r fame and fortune in the “big city,” we have decided to visit some of them. But, what’s the commotion in the freight office? Let’s stroll over and find out what’s happening. Is that a familiar face we see in the crowd? Why yes, there’s Erwin Baker. I seem to have read something about “Bill” in the New York Times recently. It was concerning his famous cow, “Mamie.” After much hard work “Bill” has succeeded in developing the successor to Elsie, the Borden cow. “Mamie” is as well known throughout the entire country as her ever-shy owner. Talking to Erwin we learn that Don Nadeau is living up to the record of another famous French man. He and his family are definitely crowding the fame of the Canadian Dionne family. We also find that Bob Periard is a very successful economist in Washing- ton. Bob had so much experience in h's high school years that he has organized an excellent point system, which, to his surprise, is completely satisfactory to every- one. Another of our classmates is in Washington also. Millie Neilson, who was so enthusiastic about the sale of War Bonds and Stamps, is now connected with the maturity of these Bonds and Stamps. She is doing very well, too. Our train arrives, and as we board it, we find our conductor to be no other than Bob Galusha. Although we didn’t know it. Bob always did like the hurly-burly of the railroad system. Before we realize it, we are all reminiscent of our happy school years. Bob is able to tell us about some more of our school mates. For instance, Harris Rooke is soon to publish another of his famous biographies. Odd that most of these excellent stories have to do with the lives of the undergraduates at state teachers colleges. He should have quite a lot of information on that sub- ject. Pat Walsh is doing very well for herself in Hollwood as Max Factor’s ablest assistant. Pat, after long hours of tedious research, has developed a new type of powder which, believe it or not, hides blushes! We take our seats in the coach and it’s not long before I force myself to turn around and see who could possibly be able to make such perfect noises with his gum. To my surprise, I see June Boyce sitting across from us. We join June and dis- cover that she is on her way to New York to meet with her board of directors. She has a remarkable product on the market. It’s a special ingredient for chewing gum which enables the chewer to make bigger and better bubbles and to make louder snaps. “Blondie” Toleman and Jean Pechette are co-proprietors of a beauty school on Fifth Avenue, so June hears, and are overshadowing E. Arden and all the others. Shades of English class!! As time goes on, we go to the dining car and come face to face with Fred Pechette. What an eventful trip this is turning out to be! Fred is captain on the dining car. Life is full of surprises like these. We learn from Fred that, of ail people, Frank Keeley is acting very well as Rudy Greenwalt’s stooge both on stage and in the movies. It’s not too hard to believe this since the two of them were always clowning and fooling around in school. They have already taken away most of Abbott and Costello’s spotlight. Bill Harris and Margaret Stiles are the heads of a large escort bureau in “the” city. They are very particular whom they choose when they are on the lookout for new employees. In fact, all prospects are in- tensely interviewed since they must reach a certain standard which Billy and Peg have set. After Fred leaves us, we turn to our menus. What a surprise we receive when, as we read on, we notice a food item titled—Filet of beef—a la W. A. Calling our waiter we learn that this special delicacy was developed by none other than Thelma Cormie, head dietician at the Waldorf-Astoria Hotel in New York City. Thelma always did want her finger in some kind of work of this type. Soon our train draws into Grand Central. As we wave goodbye to Fred and Bob, we notice a familiar figure standing near. Why, it’s Doris Hopkins. After all our greetings are over, Doris tells us she is on her way back to Schuylerville to teach Home Economics in the new school, where Phelena Wood also has been teach- 22 ing commerce very successfully for several years. Doris had spent the previous evening with Kathryn Salley and Carmella DeMarco, she told us, and had used most of the time talking over old times in S. H. S. Kate is a promising comedienne. Al- ready the country has begun talking of her famous acts. Her facial expressions and giggles are causing a bit of an uproar in Hollywood. It seems that several studios want her to sign their long-term contracts. Carmella had so much experi- ence with the little children in her gym classes that she kept on in that line of work. She is now the supervisor in a large New York playground. Doris has to run now to catch her train. She hastily says goodbye and leaves us for another ten years, perhaps. Out into the street we go. But we don’t get very far for there’s a huge crowd of people, mostly women, in our way. We inquire what’s happening and find the new matinee idol, Tom Haley, has just arrived from Hollywood. Remember how Tom always had a string of girls following him around when he first came to us. Well, he hasn’t changed much only he breaks hearts on a larger scale now. After much pushing and shoving, we reach Tom’s side and finally get his attention. He’s quite surprised to see us and tells us that he has heard from some more of the Class of ’43. Just before he left Hollywood, he met Mona Gravelle at his studio. Mona’s definitely taking Dorothy Lamour’s place in the cinema world. We always knew her long, dark hair reminded us of someone. Tillie Hebert is carrying on her acrobatic career to a “T.” She is a featured performer with the Ringling Brothers’ Circus. She has been a sensational new addition to this old company for the past two years. Alberta and Kathleen Drew have been touring the country for some time appear- ing in a sister act on the art of applying makeup, at the various Woolworth Stores. At first, there was a bit of disagreement as far as their “Before and After’’ routine went, but, finally they agreed to take turns being the “Before” girl. Catherine Fal- sone and Catherine Sirchia are owners of a large bakery on one of the main streets. Hmmm! we wonder where the two “Kates” ever got such an idea. Don Forbes is still in the Army Air Corps. He liked the work so much that he stayed in the service even after the war ended. Jeanette Baine is a leading designer in a famous shop on Fifth Avenue. This is what Jeanette always aimed for in school and now she has attained her goal. As for Lydia Colella, she is now a famous John Powers model. It’s mainly because of Lydia that so many beautiful clothes are sold by leading stores. Tom has told us so much about our classmen that he is exhausted and leaves us with the promise to call on us later in the day. We take a cab to our hotel and pick up a newspaper on our way to our rooms. On the society page of the newspaper we find a column edited by the society writer, Ann Callahan. Her columns are widely read and are so popular partly because of the little French comments or sayings she places here and there. On this same paper work several of our school chums. For instance, Tim O’Brien is the able Business Manager; Joe Corsetti is the energetic sports writer; Faye Mosher is an ambitious reporter, always chasing good stories; and Marie Miner is the cheerful receptionist in the paper’s main office. After resting a while we decide to call the Hotel office to find out what kind of entertainment there is in the Hotel. The hotel manager’s private secretary answers, and we discover that we are talking to Teresa Everts. Teresa has gained many high positions mainly because of her great shorthand ability. Paul Beaulac, she tells us, and his orchestra, are playing at the Starlight Room. Paul had quite a time before he decided to form his own band. All of the top orchestras wanted him, but they usually had quite a bit of trouble with their songstresses. It seems that the latter couldn’t keep their minds away from Paul and on their work. Marie Blodgett and Elaine Reulet are now with Paul’s outfit and are carrying on their harmonizing so that the whole country may hear them. With all this news in mind we set out to a reunion banquet where we hope to meet our old friends and think of all our old good times. 23 —Ann Callahan ’43 OUR LAST WILL AND TESTAMENT With due thought and consideration, we. the Senior Class of 1943, hereby do will and bequeath, the following choice characteristics and items to certain for- tunate juniors: Faye Moslier leaves to Arthur Almy memories of her.

Also our long awaited class rings arrived and are liked by all. We Juniors are proud of the fact that we have won the banners several times in our weekly stamp and bond drive. Just as we have regretted leaving our classes in previous years, so we regret leaving the Junior Class this year. Still, everyone seems to be looking forward to another successful and eventful year when we will be Seniors at last. —Velma Galusha ’44 27 SOPHOMORE CLASS 1.

Although hating to leave the jolly freshman class, we eagerly advanced in join- ing the Senior High. Because of our large class, we were divided into two groups: Room 9 under the supervision of Mrs. Elwell and Mr. Yaple, and Room 16 under the supervision of Miss Terpening. Room 9 elected as its officers: President, Harry Duket; Vice-president, Jack Mc- Carty; Secretary, Mildred Willette; Business Manager, Nileland Wood, and Student Council Representatives, Eugene Periard and Mary Young. An outstanding event of this room was the banquet g.ven for the faculty by Room 9 girls with some sup- port from the boys. Other activities were our “Throwing in” scrap and buying bonds and stamps. Room 16 elected Isabel Brummagyn as President, but when she moved away, the officer list became as follows: President, Mary Alice Harris; Vice-president, Robert Haley; Secretary, Alice Whitehurst, and Student Council Representatives, Betty Corsetti and Robert O’Brien. An outstanding event of Room 16 was the bas- ketball game against the seniors who were defeated with our high-scoring Beryl Fitzgerald and the support of “Roily” Haley, both of whom left school after March 12th in the second semester. This room also led the Senior High School in contri- butions to the scrap drive. The room lost, in addition to those previously mentioned, Stewart Wendell and Marie Sherman; but gained also a newcomer—Dick Elwell, better known as “Inky.” We sophomores dislike leaving behind our enjoyable times, but we are also looking forward to another prosperous year as Juniors. 28 —Mildred Willette ’45 —Alice Whitehurst ’45 FRESHMAN CLASS 1.

At the beginning of the school year, last September, we found the Freshman Class too large for one room; therefore some were sent to room 11 with Miss Shan- nahan and the rest to room 10 with Miss Lasher who was succeeded in January by Miss Gannon. In November Room 10 elected the following officers: President, Bernard Haley; Vice-president, Lillian Boyce; Secretary, Esther Sonn. Bernard resigned, and with the next election Lillian Boyce became President; Lindley de Garmo, Vice-president, and Esther Sonn remained Secretary. Joe Flatley and Florence Boyce were elected student council representatives. Throughout th year, Room 10 took an active interest in the campaign to raise money for the motion picture fund by sponsoring a series of basketball games. Also it had a gr at competitive spirit during the bond drive and totaled a sum second only to Junior Room 15. Room 11 early in October elected the following officers: President, Veronica Peets; Vice-president, Malcolm Millis; Secretary. Helen Walsh, and student council lepiesentatives, Carmella Sirchia and Thomas Pratt. During the year this room played eleven basketball games for the purpose of the motion picture fund, and lost four. We freshmen are truly grateful to the Board of Education and faculty, who, through their cooperation, have made this a year in which we had an opportunity to further our knowledge. —Esther Sonn ’46 —Helen Walsh ’46 29 1.

The Student Council is an organization which is divided into two groups—one being composed of the Senior High School, and the other, the Junior High. This or- ganization meets once a week during the activity period with Mr. Townley. Each home room chooses two pupils to act as their student representatives in this governing body of the school. These representatives help make suggestions for the betterment of the school. The Student Council not only helps make the laws of the school, but it gives the students a chance to govern themselves as well as others. The officers of the Senior High Student Council were elected as follows: President ...

The Service Club is a group of elected members who believe in the four C’s, Control, Courtesy, Cleanliness and Co-operation. Miss Shannahan organized this club which has been a great help to the community as well as to the school. In previous years Service Club had charge of the Red Cross Drive in the school. This year it is having a silk stocking drive; however it has not only one large ..project to do, but also its members serve as hall monitors and slip collectors. Whenever called upon to serve, Service Club is ready. President - Harris Rooke Vice-president - - - Joe Corsetti Secretary ...

This club is for the pupils of the Senior High School who are interested in the history of their community and the surrounding country. The purpose of the club is to teach the pupils what happened here during the Revolutionary War and to help put Schuylerville on the map in its rightful position of Old Saratoga. The club met one afternoon a week for half an hour. There were twenty-one members in the club this year. Miss Healy, our history teacher, took charge of these weekly meetings. At these meetings we read a book on the battle of Saratoga and discussed other historical events that happened around our community. Trips to some of these points of historical interest were planned but were not carried out because of the gas shortage. —Herbert DeGarmo ’45 33 THE BURGOYNE CRIER 1.

All classes are represented with editors and staff members. Membership is limited to ability and interest in presenting news. The Burgoyne Crier stands for what America is fighting for in a small but im- portant way. In this school paper the pupils learn to express themselves in both prose and poetry as well as comedy. It teaches them cooperation, for without it •tothing could be accomplished. The editor of each division must learn to plan work for his staff members. He must know' how to have these plans fulfilled and every- thing ready for the deadl.ne. The editor-in-chief is responsible tor each individual editor and his assignments. He must see to it that staff editors hand their work in on schedule. At the beginning of the school we decided that since this paper was a student publication, it should be published as we saw fit and contain the articles and new’s we wished to print. We added a fewr new names and pages and subtracted a few of the pages which did not seem to be popular with our readers. All this was done with the full cooperation of our advisors, Miss Lasher, first semester, succeeded by Miss Gannon in the second semester. Our staff includes: Editor, Walter LaVoy; Art Editor, Jeanette Baine; Novelties Editor, Marie Blodgett; Alcove Fatter, Hazel Garnsey; Sports, Will.am Spinks, Theresa Cormie; Pendrops, Muriel Germain; The Voice of Our Grads, Wilma Phillips; Literary, Wini- fred Brown. Art: Walter LaVoy, Catherine Moody, Catherine Hewitt, Jacquelyn Drew. Sports: Howard Hespelt, Mary Young, Rudolph Greenwalt, Alberta Drew, Theresa Obie.

We elected Patricia Walsh, President, Ann Callahan, Vice-president, and Nancy Haas, Secretary. During our Library Club meetings, we did many interesting things. We answered our roll calls with different literary games such as book titles. After roll call, we would prepare books for the library. We had to collate books, that is press the l ooks so that they would stay open, and also to see if the pages were all there. We had to accession them, and put cards, card pockets, and the date due slips in the back of the books and later letter the books. Last we would shellac the books. The Library Club conducted an assembly program March 12, 1943, similar to charades, in which the audience guessed the names of book titles acted out by library members. Nancy Haas was mistress of ceremonies, Wilma Phillips read a short summary of the book and Patricia Walsh was property manager. About 10 other members also took part. During the year Library Club took care of magazines. Every period one mem- ber would sit at a table in Study Hall and check out magazines. Third and sixth period someone would be in the Library helping Miss Terpening, our advisor, with the books. Especially successful, too, was the activity of the students who worked on overdue books in the mornings. This year the Club was larger than ever. About 45 people signed up the open- ing day, of wh’ch 32 became active members for the year. 3.5 —Patricia Walsh ’43 GENERAL DISCUSSION CLUB 1.

General Discussion Club was started by Miss Mary R. Healy six years ago for the purpose that its title designates, “to discuss.” This year in General Discussion Club we have discussed all the current problems including the war on the home front, on the battle front; the rationing system now in operation and future pos- sibilities; the erection of a school Honor Roll for the students and graduates in the Service; the ban on pleasure driving and the gasoline situation; and many other cur- rent problems. The club has followed very closely the new happenings in the South Pacific area, the North Atlantic and the European and African battle fronts. General Discussion Club this year proved to be most popular. So many signed up that it was decided to ask most of the Sophomores to leave and hope that they come back next year. Even so it was a very large group which met every Monday to discuss world events of the past week. —Jeanette Baine ’43 36 THE CHEF' CLUB 1.

The Chef Club was made up of Sophomore, Junior and Senior boys which met Tuesday and Thursday under the direction of Mrs. Agnes F. Elwell, homemaking teacher. No text book was used. Material was obtained from current newspapers, magazines, and the radio. The instruction was given to meet the modern problems of the home and family. Subjects of interest to the boys were presented. Instruction was given in some short-order cooking, sandwich making, sauces, preparation of cakes and cookies, meat cookery, soup making, and meat stretching and extensions to meet the war time effort. Rationing and its various aspects were discussed. Simple meal planning and meal preparation were taken up in the course as well as budgeting the family income as related to the war effort. Demonstrations were given in the following: bedmaking, showing the skills in inturning corners of bedding, pressing clothes, laundering and blocking sweaters. Here a study was made of various fibers. Mending and repairs of our clothing were valuable aids in the conservation of clothing as geared to the war time effort. During these half-hour periods we all had gained much practical knowledge in solving our home problems as are affected by the war. 37 —Howard Hespelt 45 ORCHESTRA 1.

BASKETBALL The Orange and Black Basketball Team of Schuylerville High had a very suc- cessful season with a strong team taking 14 victories out of 18 tries. With 12 of the 18 games in 1'ague competit;on, the Stantonmen marked un 9 victories against 3 losses, to finish in second place in the league standing. Sharing top honors with Ballston dur ng the entire season, the Stantonmen fell five points short of the Cham- pionship as Ballston took the deciding game 32-27 on the Schuylerville Court. The Stantonmen started the season against Stillwater on the latter’s court, taking a hard fought victory 25-24, but dropped a close decision to Greenwich in their next contest, 30-25. Playing the tough Ballston Team for the first time of the season, the Stantonmen came out on top 32-31. for the first of many victories at home. Following the Christmas vacation, the Stantonmen took revenge upon the Greenwich five for an earPer defeat, bv defeating them, 24-21. Meeting Stillwater for the second time, the Schuylerville five handed them a humiliating defeat, 30-11, but was given a shameful beating by Ballston on the latter’s court, 18-37, thus being knocked from first place. With half the season completed, the Stantonmen b“gan the second half with another victory over Stillwater, 36-26, and followed with their sixth straight vic- tory on the home court against Greenwich, 39-26. The Black Horses traveled to Ballston for their next game and took sole position of first place as they defeated the home team, 35-33, which was the first defeat for the Ballston team on the home court for two seasons. With the season drawing to a close, the Stantonmen were scheduled to play each team once again. Meeting Greenwich for the fourth time, the Schuvlerville Five was victorious. 34-33, and defeated the Stillwater team for the fourth straight time. 38-28, but disastrously dropped the all important decision against Ballston in the final game, 32-27. Playing six non-league gam s during the season against South High and Hoo- sick Valiev, the Schuvlerville Five was also successful with five victories to one defeat, beating Hoosick Valley in the four games and splitting with South High in two encounters. 42 Joe Corsetti ’43 SOCCER 1.

Greenwalt, R.; Mr. Townley; Mr. Stanton; Phillips, R. The Schuylerville Soccer Team of the 1942-43 season recorded one of the best showings of any Schuylerville High Team in past years. It remained on top of the league the entire season only to be defeated in the Championship game 2-1 against Burnt Hills. Piloted by Coach Stanton, the soccer team was one of five teams in the Sara- toga County League. With the rationing of gas, only the schools closest together formed the league; namely Burnt Hills, South Glens Falls, Luzerne, Stillwater, and Schuylerville. Playing host to South High in their first game, the Orange and Black Team of Schuylerville were victorious 2-1. Their next contest was played on even terms with their opponents of Luzerne as both teams tied 1-1 at the final whistle. Traveling to Stillwater for their last road trip, the Schuylerville Team defeated the tough Garnet and Gray of Stillwater 1-0. With each team playing their last and final games, to decide the ownership of the championship crown, the Orange and Black colors went down in a first and costly defeat 2-1. Although finishing in second place in the league standings, this team was our first to conclude so successful a season and average one goal per game, for a total of five points, more than any other soccer team of Schuylerville High had ever been able to do. —Joe Corsetti '43 43 THE BASEBALL TEAM 1.

The 1942 Baseball Team of Schuylerv’lle, p:loted by capable Joe Sciurba, out- standing sportsman of the University of Alabama, finished a fair season if not suc- cessful, with two wins and four losses, and sole posession of fifth place in an eight team league. The 1942 Baseball season was the last sport to be played with the full eight teams cf Saratoga County before the rationing of gas, which eliminated many teams from the league this following year. The Orange and Black team of Schuylerville started off with a bang as they defeated the Burnt Hills team 9-8. The game was originally scheduled to be the second game of the season, with Luzerne first, but due to the rainstorm which can- celled the Luzerne contest, it was never played. During the second contest the fighting Orange and Black colors went down in defeat as Senior High doubled their score to win 12-6. The Sciurba men were handed their second straight loss at the hands of the Ballston team 10-5 in their third contest. Going down in their third consecutive defeat, and also having their score doubled for the third time in as many games, the Schuylerville nine lost to Stillwater 4-2. Coming through against Corinth for their second and last win of the season, the Schuylerville nine rang up the winning score 7-1. Playing their last game of the season against Greenwich at Greenwich, the visiting team of Schuylerville were out to win the game for a .500 per cent average for the season, but were turned back 8-3 by the home Greenwich team in the last innings, that took the championship of the Saratoga County League and placing Schuylerville in possession of fifth place. This year, with Coach Stanton at the helm, the team is expected to play nearby schools and make a good showing. 44 —Joe Corsetti ’43 JUNIOR VARSITY 1. Myers, W.; Townley, R.; Bauer, C.; Osliea, S. 2.
