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. We shall never forget his jovial manner and his willingness to help others. Junior Times (1); Intramurals (1-2); Local History Club (3): New Drivers Club (3). PHELENA WOOD—“Woodie” “Not Mine” Ever since we’ve known Phelena we’ve never heard a boisterous outcry, or hardly more than a whisper to come from her lips. Phelena may be qu.et, but she has proved very efficient in her school work. 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.

HARRIS ROOKE—“Rookie” “Big Broad Smile” From the first day Harris started school here twelve years ago to this veiy day he has never been absent nor tardy. That’s a record you may well be proud of Harris—for you’re the first and probably the last to hold such a record in S. H. S. Harris has do. e a good job in helping our soccer team win the cham- pionship this year, and in assisting his intramural team in basketball.

FREDERICK PECHETTE—“Mugs” “This Love of Mine” Fred is our quietest Senior Boy. 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.

SENIOR CLASS HISTORY Well Seniors! 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
