Text from Pages 1 - 64 of the 1945 volume:

In Honor of the SCHUYLERVILLE GRADUATES WHO ARE SERVING THEIR COUNTRY I ICTUS Out of the night that covers me, Black as the Pit from pole to pole I thank whatever gods may he For my unconquerable soul. In the fell clutch of circumstance I have not winced nor cried aloud. I nder the bludgeonings of chance My head is bloody, but unbowed. Beyond this place of wrath and tears Looms but tin Horror of the- shade. And yet the menace of the years Finds, and shall find, me unafraid. It matters not how strait the gate. Hew charged with punishments the scroll. I am the master of my fate: I am the captain of my soul. W. E. Henley DEDICATION We, the class of 1945, wish to dedicate our Schuyler to a former friend and classmate, Howard Hespelt. He took an active part in sports, especially basket- ball. and helped Schuylerville to win many games. Up also remember Howard for his good humor. He truly helped to make our school days enjoyable. The loss of such a friend has been greatly felt by all who knew him. Our memories of school davs will always he saddened by the thought of his death. —Mary Booth ’45 ADMINISTRATION—Beard of Education Milton J. Larmon James P. MeGarry T.

Mary Alice Harris, Mary Young, and Richard Elwell were the three members tapped in their senior year to complete the membership. The other three members, who were tapped in their junior year, were John McCarty, Herbert DeGarmo, and Curtis Bauer. The aim of the National Honor Society is to promote scholarship, leadership, service, and the development of character among the students. The officers are: President - Mary Alice Harris Vice-President - Jack McCarty Vice-President - Herbert DeGarmo Secretary ----- Mary Young Treasurer..............................Curtis Bauer Publicity Director - Richard Elwell We completed our year by tapping two members from the class of ’4G to carry cn the work of the National Honor Society next year. The two juniors were Joseph Flatley and Lindley DeGarmo. —Herbert DeGarmo’45 10 SENIOR ACADEMY AWARDS Best Student__________________ Best Looking Girl_____________ Best Looking Boy______________ Best Girl Dancer______________ Best Boy Dancer_______________ Best Girl Athlete_____________ Best Boy Athlete______________ Best Personality, Girl________ Best Personality, Boy_________ Neatest Dressed Girl__________ Neatest Dressed Boy___________ Friendliest Smile, Girl_______ Friendliest Smile, Boy________ Most Original Girl____________ Most Original Boy_____________ Most Witty Student____________ Most Happy-go-Lucky Student Most Likely to Succeed________ Most School Spirit____________ Favorite Songstress___________ Favorite Singer_______________ Favorite Actress______________ Favorite Actor________________ Favorite Movie of the Year____ ______________Dick Elwell _______Theresa DeGrechie ______________Bob O'Brien ___________Eileen Nevins ______________Guy Corsetti _______Margaret McGowan ______________Curtis Bauer ______________Mary Young _________Herbert DeGarmo _______Mary Alice Harris ______________Guy Corsetti ______________Mary Booth _____________Gene Periard ______________Mary Booth ______________Bob O'Brien ______________Dick Elwell _____________Gene Periard Alice Nevins; Dick Elwell ______________Theresa Obie ______________Dinah Shore ______________Bing Crosby _________Margaret O'Brien ______________Van Johnson ____________Going My Way 12 CURTIS BA I UR Curt “Footlight Glamour” Curt has been a great prop to our class. His “go ahead” abil- ity has helped to put through many successful events of the class. He is a very good speaker and was chosen to represent us in the oratorical contest. His interest in the contest in- creased greatly it is said, as he became a close second to the Saratoga contestant, a blue-eyed, fair-skinned “femme.” It’s too bad Curt isn’t following a career in dramatics as he has shown great abilities in school plays. No one could have played the part of the villain so successfully as Curt. Because of his energetic spirit he will go far in the work he has chosen —forestry, in which he became very interested as an Eagle in the Boy Scouts. -11 --I2—Joyyec Basketball. Junior Tennis.

She did not have them sheared until her junior year. We don’t blame her for keeping them as long as possible as she had very pretty long braids. Her fondness for long hair reminds one of another preference. . .cokes taste a lot better down- street when you are excused from school for an important errand, don’t they, Mary? Although she followed a homemaking course throughout high school, she thinks she wants to become a beautician. The homemaking course will always be beneficial as I imagine she will eventually become a good wife. 41-42—Secretary Freshman Km. 11 Junior Hijch Intrn- nurals.

He shall long be remembered as the hero of the senior play, “High School Daze.” We shall never forget Mort’s vigorous arguments in history class. Of course, he is ever fa- mous as a violin player which accounts for the title of “Pardon My Rhythm” bequeathed to Joe. Good luck in whatever field you choose, Joe! 4 1-42—Treasurer Km. 11, Junior Science Club. Junior High Orchestra; 42-43—Senior High Orchestra.

ELSIE COOK—“Cookie” “Since You Went Away Ida Cook, one of the quiet girls of the Senior class, seems to enjoy writing to one particular service man in Florida. He must be receiving quite a bit of mail, lately. Too bad the post office isn’t nearer the school. It would save many steps. Maybe her interest in uniforms was started by a friend enter- ing a nearby military school. Speaking of uniforms, we think you would look real nice in a Cadet Nurse’s uniform, Ida. Is this your future plan? 4 1-42—Junior Hitch Chorus (Secretary), Junior Hitch Intra- mural ; 42-43—Senior Hitch Intramural .

Yes, it really is Art Charron. He does make a good one. The girls seem to go for “tall, dark, and handsome” baseball players. The girls, or should I say girl, from Quaker Springs especially seem to think so. We hear you are seen down that way a great deal lately; Art, you know' that gas is not as plentiful as it used to be. We should do away with pleasure trips. Or perhaps you’re just helping Don with farm work? 41 42—Junior Time Publication. Junior Varsity Baseball. Junior High Intramurals; 42-43—Baseball.

She is the type that the teachers like to have around for she has always been interested in her school work. Also she has a very amiable disposition which gives her many friends. Her continual and constant friendship with Edith all through high school is just one example of her fine disposition and loyalty. Betty has followed a business course through high school. She expects to continue her business training next year in Albany Business College before going out into the w'orld of business wrhere she surely should achieve success. 41 42—Junior High Dramatic .

Perhaps these recommendable qualities offset a noted stubbornness of his. He finds himself most welcome in Glens Falls, where his presence reveals his preference for red hair. Guy is successfully completing a business course and hopes to attend Albany Business College after graduation from high school. Best of luck, Guy, in college and in a business life ahead. 41-4:2 -Treasurer Junior High Student Council. Junior High Dramatics; 42-43—Senior High Dramatics; 44-45—Senior High Student Council. THERESA DeGRECHIE—“Terry” “Can’t Help Singing” Theresa seems to like to do waitress work. She has helped serve at the many homemaking dinners and luncheons besides working in her uncle’s diner. Yes, she’s the pretty waitress who adds to the popularity of Pat’s Diner in Northumberland. We suspect she enjoys writing to boys in the service. Is that so, Theresa? 4 1 42—Junior High Sports Council. Junior High Intra- murals; 42-43—Senior High Intramurals, Senior High Sports Council; 43-44—General Discussion Club.

Maybe Herb could find room for you in his car. It is noted for always hold- ing one more person. Besides owning the one and only taxi of the Senior class, Herbie is the Salutatorian of our class. This illustrates the fact that one can be both popular in the activities of the school and also still get good marks in one’s classes. Keep up the good work, Herb. 41-42—Junior High Service Club (Secretary), Junior High Intramurals; 42-43—Local History Club. Boys Chef Club. Soccer. Senior High Intramurals; 43-44—One-Act Plays.

Al- though she has taken great interest in her lessons, nevertheless she has participated in many school and outside activities. We know she is one of the most outstanding Girl Scouts in her troop. She is often called upon to exercise her musical talents. We believe her desire to become Dr. Jane Duby will be fulfilled. 41-42—Junior High Orchestra. Junior High Band. Junior High Chorus.

He is just as willing to find an outlet for mischiev- ousness as more noisy boys. Some of the mischievous things done in classes may have been instigated by him, but by his innocent manner, he has been able to evade the blame. He seems to have little interest in girls, although this may be just another example of clever camouflage on his part. Your real scientific knowledge, though, may see you through many successful years ahead. 41-42—Junior High Science Club.

As proof was a senior-sophomore romance that seems to have lasted through the years. Edith has taken a business course throughout high school, and we think it would be very inter- esting for her if she used her knowledge in a certain local business establishment. We understand she intends to con- tinue her business training at Albany Business College. What- ever it may be, a happy and busy future, Edith. 4 1-42—Secretary Freshman Km. 10, Junior High Chorus.

HARRY DUKET—“Duke” “Here Come the Co-eds” Did anyone see the name “Becky” written on one of the desks in history class? That person must have found Harry Duket’s seat for his thoughts are only for her. Too bad she lives in Saratoga; it would be much more convenient if she lived in Schuylerville. It would save a great deal of money and gas spent on the Army Guard trucks. They say that shoe leather is going to be still harder to g-?t in the future. Guess you will have to go to Skidmore next year, Harry. 41-42—Junior Times Publication; 42-43—Local History Club. President Sophomore (Muss; 43 44 — Library Club. Jun- ior (Mass Secretary.

She often is seen refereeing the basketball games played at noon hour by the girls. During the past year. Hazel has aided Mrs. Elwell in the cafeteria by taking care of the youngsters who eat there. You should make a very good child’s nurse. Hazel. 41-42—Junior High Sport (‘ouncil. Junior High Dramatic . Junior High Intramural� ; 42-43—Senior High Sport ('oun- cil. Burgovne Crier. J. V.

H. S. For one whose physical size could be described as “So Big” there is so very much to say about Inky. Each of his 60 inches is definitely represented by brains and wit. That he is our valedictorian is proof enough of his brains, and his remarks and pranks prove his wittiness. Unless Inky's ingenuity fails him (and we doubt if that could ever happen) he is headed for success in future years. 42 43—Senior High Intramural� : 43-44—Senior High Intra murals.

We also gained a very enthusiastic cheerleader. She has shown both leadership and responsibility in almost every class undertaking. Her contribution to the success of class plays has been invaluable. Mary’s ambition leads to a career as a department store buyer. With a pleasant personality, good looks and ability at her disposal, she is bound to reach her goal. 4 1-42—Junior High Dramatics (President).

We are sure he would like to join the WACs, Waves or Spars, but we are afraid he will have to take the regular Army or Navy instead. We are sure he would make a good soldier, for he is one of the most co-operative boys in the Senior class. He has always made a contribution to class, whenever called upon. Happiness for you, Dick, in the fu- ture. 41-42—Junior High Intramural� : 42-43—Senior High Intra murals; 43-44—Senior High Intramurals. Discussion Club; 44-45—Senior High Intramural� .

She is an excellent basketball player and is known for making the winning point in one of the games with Greenwich. Maggie is also a very good cook. Many times she has made those de- licious rolls for the dinners and banquets put on by the Home- making Department. You ought to start a bakery when you finish school so all of us may have some of your delicious cooking. 41- 42—Junior High Intramural� .

It will take more practice than that to outrun those girl pur- suers. They seem to be better than you, Jack! 41-42—J. V Basketball. Junior High Band. Junior High Sri- Baseball.

Of course we know she doesn’t really mind being teased about Sammy! As for her future plans, I understand she intends to be a physical education teacher. They also tell me she has remarkable tendencies towards sewing. Whatever you choose, good luck, Anna. 41-4°—.Timor High Intramural • 42-43—Senior Hi h Inf � • murals. Library Club: 43-44—Library.

MARTIN MUNSON—“Marly” “Little Old New York” Martin could be voted the most legal-minded boy of the class as especially demonstrated in business arithmetic class. There have been countless times Martin has found technicalities in Miss Brignola’s statements and has not hesitated to inform her so. Besides his contagious humor, Martin’s blonde hair and blue eyes have been found fascinating by many girls. Although most teachers think he would make a good lawyer, he savs he is going to be a farmer. We’re sure Martin will find the same delight in life he has always found in whatever he chooses. 4 1-42—Junior High Science Club.

She participated in the games with Greenwich and Salem. We hope you have as great a success in years to come as you have had in school. Good luck, Alice! 41-42—Junior Times.

But Bob has had the hard luck of having to pass up sports the past two years. He broke his leg last spring during the base- ball season and again this year before the basketball season. Despite his difficulties Bob is always happy and gay in the classes, very often to a degree of rascality. It seems to be contagious, and his almost inseparable companions. Jack and Gene, aren’t at all immune to it. It isn’t probable that Bob will ever become another Ein- stein, but I imagine he has at least learned to operate a fire extinguisher this year. Best wishes to our future fireman. Bob! •11-42 -President Junior Student Council. Junior Orchestra.

Eileen likes a good time and seems to be always able to find it for she is very lively and popular among the boys. . .remember that occasion when she was the only girl with seven boys who went to Saratoga to buy the tickets for the Senior trip? She has a special interest however in a dark, good-looking junior boy. Eileen has taken part in the plays through high school, being a very good actress. However her desire is to become a voice teacher for which she also has excellent qualifications. Sing your way to success, Eileen, as we know you will. 41-42—Junior High Dramatics, Junior Times.

Gene has ambitions to become a bookkeeper in his father’s store. Let’s hope he does as well there as he does in his financial responsibilities in the school. 41-42—Junior High Intramural� , J V.

Because you have such an interest in foods, we feel you would make a very good dietician. Are these your future plans, Theresa? 41- 42 -Junior Times Publication.

It is apparent that he enjoys reading for he is almost always seen with a book or magazine. We have heard of no romance in his life but think he would make a good beau for one of the quiet girls in our class. Or maybe he has a girl from some nearby place. We hear that you would like to be a carpenter. May you build your way to success, Bob! 41-42—Intramural : 42-43—Library Club; 43-44—Library Club: 44-45—Intramurals. ANN ROGERS—“Buck” “When Irish Eyes Are Smiling” Ann is one of the senior girls planning on a nurse’s career. Because of her efficiency and friendliness any patient would be happy to remain sick. Besides, we think that she would look something less than unattractive in a nurse’s uniform. We often see Ann in the midst of a group of girls whispering and giggling, both in and out of class, but as for her mascu- line associations we understand she stays on her own side of the river. Good luck to one of the most co-operative girls of the class. 41-42—Junior Times Publication; 42-43—Library Club; 43-44—Senior High Intramural� : 44-45—Library Club. Schuyler StafY (Kditor).

He always was good at such things. Lester, too, excels in science and likes to experiment with chemicals. We all remember the “perfume” he put in the Christmas grab bag and the sulphur he had in English class one day last year. Maybe you will become famous for your great inventions some day, Lester. 41-42—Vice-President of Junior Student Council.

MILDRED WILLETTE— Tillie'9 “Woman in the Window” Tillie Willette is one of the small girls of the class, but her size does not represent the energy she possesses when her temper is aroused. She enjoys a really good argument. She is also seen writing to a fellow in the air corps. Tillie’s affections may change (we remember noon-hour ro- mancing of Dick and Tillie last year, and well, Martin wasn’t averse to the English class seating arrangement this year) but we’re sure that she will always have friends and de- servedly so. 41-42—Junior Timex; 42-43—Secretary Sophomore Class, Burgoyne Crier; 43-44—Junior High Intramural� . 20 RUTH WILLETTE—“Tootie” “Three Cheers for the Irish” Ruth especially asked me to write something about a certain Freshman at Union. It is very hard for Ruth to concentrate on studies from one week end to the next week end. Of course, also we’ll have to mention her arguments with Zoel and a “certain” Irishman over the comparative qualities of the French and Irish.

The new members of our class, the non- residents, had arrived and we were busily getting acquainted with them and with our new home room teachers, Miss McCall for room 11 and Miss Shannahan for room 10. Early in the season the following class presidents were elected: John Riordan for room 10 and Ruth Willette for room 11. e enjoyed quite a few activities in our Freshman year. Our Freshman Five won both the senior and the junior games. Our members participated in quite a few activities, and really ‘“crammed” so that we could enter our high school. After the exams we all watched the bulletin board like a hawk to find out who passed and were ready to climb higher on the ladder. We were sorry to see Miss McCall leave us. but our Junior High graduation was very interesting. At the start of our sophomore year we were again in high spirits. Because of our large size we were divided again into two groups: Room 16 under Miss Ter- pemng and Room 9 with Mrs. Elwell and Mr. Yaple. Room 9 really outdid itself with the banquet for the faculty, the girls doing most of the work. The “battle of the sexes was evened up, however, when Beryl “Fitzie” Fitzgerald and “Rollie” Haley romped all over the seniors, in a highly popular basketball “scrap ” and then proceeded to leave us for the Navy. «i i 1� ft301? is time that we recei ed from Saratoga Springs High, Dick Inky Elwell, the live wire of our class. Nevertheless our class steadily dwindled as we lost Stewart Wendell, Edith Hayes, Marie Sherman and Isabel Brummagyn. our class president of Room 16. This office was quickly filled by Mary Alice Harris, and Harry Duket held sway over Room 10. As sophomores, we held our own during the scrap drive, and Room 16 went over the top in securing honors for the highest contribution. We disliked leaving our sophomore classes, but for the first time the class of '45 was entirely united in its junior year, in Room 12 under Mrs. Elwell. We were oc- cupying the traditional senior room, but we felt we had a good right, since we had been sp.it up so long. Bob “Obie” O'Brien was elected to hold the presidency of tii0 class. Everything went fine, until our cla’smute, Howard Hespelt, passed away with spinal meningitis. He was a real friend of everybody and was greatly missed hv the whole class. In December, we were happily rolling along when we were suddenly plunged into the excitement of choosing our junior rings. It was a red letter day in the class as the ring samples were looked over and chosen. Our ring committee gave us a good selection, and the vote was almost unanimous. They certainly do look “swell.” As ever, basketball season arrived, and we were back at our favorite pastime. We had the usual interclass games, together with the intramurals. We staged a healthy comeback, but we only avenged the defeat we suffered before. Our membership suffered a little as Catherine Kelly, Wayne Lang, and Elnora Pratt found work out of school, and Rose Sherman moved away. Wayne is now in the Army. Next came our Junior Play, and as usual Herbert DeGarmo and Dick Elwell were active. With its amusing plot, “Pa’s New Housekeeper” was quite a success, as all the players carried their parts through admirably. Miss Myers directed it, and it was largely through her eu'orts that we won second place in the contest. Our Junior Prom was, we think, one of the best. Our committee consisted of Martin Munson, Mary Alice Harris, Hazel Garnsey, and Joe Cartwright. Everybody worked together to decide on decorations, music, tickets, and invitations. With music by Chet Morre, and the tickets taken care of, we moved into the final stages of production. Ours was a distinct inno ation. We had lawn chairs instead of the regular chairs and in the middle, our reserved table. Reserved for whom, you may ask; well ask Les Stiles or Earl Derby! Finally the great night arrived, and as we walked under a blue and gold canopy, we started a very enjoyable evening for all. With all our fun over, we again had to return to the books if we were to be- come seniors, as most of us fortunately did. September 1944, saw the class of ’45 enter the last struggling year to the final phases of our school life. We were seniors, and it was a w’onderful feeling. Our friendly and much liked principal, Mr. Stanton, was to be our home room teacher. Right away w'e started to think ahead, of our caps and gowns, invitations and the other details of graduation. Just after this, thoughts of our Senior Trip came, and again the ever present problem of money. We started right away, because the amount that should be raised was large. Food sales, dances and then a bond raffle held the limelight. Many contributed to their success writh Bob O’Brien and Gene Periard especially active as President and Treasurer respectively of the Senior Trip Club. When officers were chosen, Herbert DeGarmo w'as elected as president of the Senior Class and Robert O’Brien, president of the Senior High Student body. Other class officers were: Vice-president, Lester Stiles; Secretary, Eileen Nevins; Treasurer, Richard Elwell; Student Council Representatives, Arthur Charron, Eileen Nevins, Herbert DeGarmo, Jack McCarty, and Mary Alice Harris. 23 Making money seemed to be a repeatedly necessary project for us. By three one-act plays, successfully produced, we earned money for graduation, honor to ourselves, and incidentally, a lot of fun at practices. For the proposed New York trip, where we seniors would be “educated” in the big city, a War Bond raffle was staged with John McCarty becoming the lucky winner. Starting the second semester, we welcomed those of us who had been left behind in our advance to seniority. Formalities about who had been doing what during the Christmas vacation were soon over, and we again settled down to serious study so we might be among those who would enter the portals of the stage in June. Also an important activity of the year, our year book, had been started and we began our respective duties. The result of our work you can now see. Our long awaited New York trip at last was realized. April 1st dawned a beautiful day, and about three that afternoon our senior trip started with 20 mem- bers. ably chaperoned by Mr. and Mrs. T. J. O’Brien, boarding “The Laurentian.” From it we piled out, pushed through Grand Central, and into the taxis to the “Taft,” where various groups of us were established on the 3rd, 6th, 11th and 15th floors. After getting settled, we journeyed to the C. B. S. studios and saw “Crime Doctor.” The rest of the night was spent quietly (sleeping). Next morning Radio City was our objective. We saw the special Easter pageant with the Rockettes. Monday afternoon was our time to take in the Chester- field Supper Club with Perry Como, Mary Ashworth, Ted Steele, and his orchestra. Tuesday morning we visited the Statue of Liberty, Chinatown and the Bowery. That afternoon we visited the N. B. C. broadcasting and Television studios. Tuesday night, we visited the smash musical, “Oklahoma”; then we joined New York’s society at Billy Rose’s Diamond Horseshoe. We hope that Mr. Rose has some of his diamonds left. Station WOR was the next point of invasion, as six of the class went to “Can You Top This.” Maybe Dick Elwell could have substituted with some of his “very fertile corn.” We next assembled at the “Stars on Ice” show and thoroughly en- joyed it. Then it was back to the Taft and a party. Thursday, tired, maybe a little bit sleepy but still jovial, we turned our backs on the “Big City,” but were reluctant to leave. Ours had been a very successful trip, and we enjoyed every minute of it. However, we still had to graduate and bid good-bye to our school. In the future, although some of us may be scattered far and wide, through dif- ferent reasons, we will all think back about how we were taught, befriended, and helped along by the enterprising ‘ gang” and faculty of S. H. S. —Joseph Cartwright ’45 21 “AND NOW TOMORROW” My greatest pleasure in life is to be the bearer of glad tidings. As I look through the crystal ball, I see a great future for the Senior class of 1945. I have stepped into the shoes of Luella Parsons and go peeking around cor- ners in Hollywood and listen to what the little birds are whispering. The top news this morning is that Edith Garnsey gets the lead opposite Curt Bauer in the new picture taken from the story—“Lost Days in School,” which was written by Dick Hudson. Dick always did have a vivid imagination but somehow failed to succeed in getting his classmates to follow. As to the actors, I'll say the MGM Pictures, Inc., is lucky to get these two stars. As I reach into the duffle bag of memories, I recall these two back in S. H. S. as future Thespians. It looks as though they will be donning the grease paint for many years. In my work you never know where you are going to stumble on clues. The other day I had lunch with Betty Corsetti, who is secretary for one of the Broad- way Magnates. There on her desk, I saw the lyrics of the new musical, “Meet Me in Schuylerville.” Betty told me they were written for and going to be sung by Eileen Nevins, another of the Schuylerville girls who has made good in Hollywood. Theresa DeGrechie isn't at all unhappy about going into the same musical because it promises to be a big success. I understand Theresa is swinging on a star as far as her singing career is concerned. (Now instead of the bobby socks it is the wolves who are swooning.) After a very interesting visit with Betty, I started home. Suddenly a bright red flashing sign across the street caught my eye. It was none other than Munson and Duket, attorneys at law, who no doubt were straightening out the entangle- ments of the stars. I can’t say that I was surprised remembering the experience as lawyers they had had in Miss Brignola's Business Arithmetic class back in our high school days. I had a minute to spare so I went in to say “Hello” to two of my old classmates. It seemed I had just time enough to step into the elevator when the floors started whizzing up and down. 1 began to hold my breath just like those people riding in the dive bomber at the Schaghticoke Fair. Finally I recognized this Suicide driver as Denton Vander Poel. He said he enjoyed his job because he liked the ride as he had to walk too much back during high school days trying to get to Greenwich. As I walked into the extravagantly furnished office, I saw a very lovely, efficient looking secretary whom I immediately recog- nized as Alice Nevins. We got talking so enthusiastically about the good times we’d had back at Schuylerville High that I had completely forgotten my original errand until two very distinguished looking gentlemen came from their office. Martin and Harry told me they were on their way to draw up a contract for Robert Sanders who had just bought out the Cecil B. DeMille’s company. After they had left, I asked Alice where to find a good department store in Hollywood. She told me that Mary Alice Harris was manager of the most exclusive store in Holly- wood. I remember several years ago Mary Alice told me she’d have been satisfied with being a buyer for one department. Those Schuylerville girls certainly know how to reach the top! Again I started on my way and decided to stop into the famous Sardi's res- taurant. As I started to cross at Hollywood and Vine, I noticed a familiar looking face policing the mobs. Bob O'Brien, of all people! He never failed to catch each 25 “Jay-Walker,” by the arm and shout “Go Around” just as he did hack in the halls of S. H. S. in his role of hall monitor. As I stood waiting to cross, there passed by a big black taxi which was packed to capacity with Hollywood glamour girls and chauffeured by Herbert DeGarmo. I finally reached Sardi’s. and as I entered the famous restaurant, I saw that Gene Periard was the manager, and due to the manpower shortage, he was taking Tom Brenamen’s place ridiculing and trying on ladies’ hats. After a while a very neat looking receptionist with a crisp white uniform came to my table. It was Hazel Garnsey. She said she had recognized me as I entered and had come over to talk to me. I really received a thrilling surprise when she told me that two girls from Schuylerville High were dieticians here. They have become famous for their delectable food—Mary Young, being noted for her radish roses and Theresa Obie, noted for her yellow-golden substitute butter balls. As I looked toward the stage, I saw that Rulh Willette was winning the much coveted wishing ring and was wishing that a certain red-headed professor from Union Col- lege would walk in the door. On my way down town I decided to have my hair done; therefore I stepped into a swanky looking beauty parlor operated by Margaret McGowan, Anna Melaga, Mildred Willette and Mary Booth. Maggie was giving Lana Turner a lesson on keeping blonde hair beautiful, Anna was giving a lesson in calisthenics to the stars trying to keep their girlish figures, while Tillie was mixing up and experimenting on Mary with a new shade of nail polish wi.h matching lipstick which she was going to call “dynamic fuschia.” These former schoolmates told me Dick Elwell, who has recently taken over the Eddie Bracken television show, collapsed from prank fatigue on the set the other day. It was then that I learned that Hollywood has another girl from Schuy- lerville to keep the memory of this old town alive. I heard that Dr. Jane Duby was immediately summoned and with the assistance of her chief nurse, Ida Cook, very efficiently brought Dick around with the use of therapeutic knowledge and a few hard slaps. At the same studio also were Lester Stiles and Earl Derby who were putting to use their knowledge of television which they had sought to dem- onstrate in physics class. That same gabby little bird who is whispeiing things in my ear told me chat Art Charron is going to pitch for the same West Coast team from which the Di- Maggio brothers sprang to fame, and Jack McCarty is playing first base. Hollywood gossip also has it that Guy Corsetti is around town with a bank- roll and is ready to o'Ter some of the biggest directors in Hollywood a chance io go into business with him. The rumor is that he intends to back Joe Cartwright who is featured on the radio Sunday nights. Joe won his first fame when he beat that same impressario by three-fourths of a second in playing “Flight of the Bumble Bee”—leaving out a few unnoticed notes to turn the trick. That night as I was reviewing the events of the day in preparing for my radio program, I began to realize how many prominent people were on the first rung of the ladder of success back in S. H. S.............What glory! What renown for the Schuylerville class of ’45 through the crystal ball! 20 —Ann Rogers ’45 FADEOUT FOK ’45 In this year nineteen hundred and forty-five, this much abused class, as yet in a rightful frame of mind, but knowing our immediate future, feel that we should divide among our favorite successors the virtues and characteristics that have undoubtedly made our class outstanding. With due thought and consider- ation, we bequeath these cherished items: Ruth Willette desires to leave most of her curiosity to Elaine Coffin. It is said that this is a most desirable trait when used to pursue the academic course. Lester Stiles leaves his paper air plane designing ability to Robert Bruce, who already as a junior, shows remarkable progress along these lines. (Please do not use room 16 as a proving grounds for your models ) Lester also requests of Charles Booth, that, if in the event Charley should get to New York with the oncoming senior class, he should lock up an all night roller skating rink. This was one desire that Lester was unable to fulfill. Mary Young, by special request of a close friend, wills her gum smacking habit to Florence Boyce. Denton Pander Poel, a card (deuce), if there ever was one, relinquishes to Joe Ruff the honor of having the craziest pipe dreams, of being an Edison and a- Steinmetz in reverse, and a future news commentator. With all this added zest, Joe, you should be able to “send” them all. Bob Sanders wishes to leave his modesty and quiet manner to Robert Sails. Mildred Willelte seems to be the only girl, at the present time, who is quite intimate with the Greenwich hoys, both in and out of service. It has been sug- gested that Helen Brownell should succeed in Mildred s place, perhaps. Eugene Periard leaves a vacancy in the Stamp and Bond Club. Now there is a chance for some smart junior I if there are any smart juniors! to work himself into a lovely racket. May wre give you a woid of advice. Think and then look twice before you do any deviltry Friday afternoons.” Ann (Buck) Rogers leaves her space patrol to the 25th century. Robert O'Brien bequeaths his position as hall monitor by the girls’ locker room to Bill Myers. Act like Boh, Bill, and keep those girls in line. Mary Booth bestows upon Helen Walsh her intense interest in new library books. Do you think you can read three or four books a week, Helen? 27 Theresa Obie leaves her position as governess to the little tots of the first grade to Geraldine Hanna. Perhaps if you speak to Theresa, she will explain to you, Gerry, how she used this privilege to evade seventh period study hall. Eileen Nevins leaves to Ann IT i I cox her feminine allure. Herbert DeGarmo leaves the family ear in the hands of his favorite brother. Careful, Lin—drive slowly—consider your fellow drivers—and like your brother, take care of things. Martin Munson wishes to pass on to Carinella Sirchia the obligation of pre- serving the senior prestige, honor, and the controlling reins of the school. To this post we add Martin’s easy going ways, his pleasing peronality and his in- gratiating smile. Curt Hauer bequeaths to Joe 11 alley those powers of guidance and leadership which compel him to initiate anonymous phone calls and 4 A.M. tours to neigh- boring hotels of New York City. Joseph Cartwright leaves his theory of the speed of light to the world. Elsie Cook bequeaths her share in the feminine struggle to occupy those pre- ferred seats on the school bus, near those Thompson mentors, to Dora Clark. Harry Duket leaves to George Trail.his stripes and the sole distinction of being the last member of Companv L (New York State Guardi in Schuvlerville High. Theresa DeGrechie, who during the past year made an advancement to the S. H. S. teaching staff, through her substitute teaching in Home Economics, would like to share her fortunate association with the faculty, to some desiring junior girl. Dick (Scoop I Hudson leaves his newspaper work to Mary Fremont who has a nose for news. Hazel Garnsey and Guy Corsetti relegate their passionate outbursts to Geneva Garnsey, who is a little inclined to speak before thinking. Art Charron, our champion jitterbug and star pitcher, would like to leave his talents to Bill Myers. Art leaves some fatherly advice to Bill, and also be- lieves that with these added abilities. Bill can really excel in his position with the feminine gender. Earl Derby thinks that Bob Myers would be a very suitable person to take his position on the milk truck. You will have to get up before 8:25. Bob. 28 Alice Nevins, who has been known to help fellows and girls alike with their homework, leaves her appreciated generosity, along these lines, to Dora Clark. Dick Klwell leaves his witty remarks, his hallucinations, his spontanous answers, his vigor, and his jovial grin to Leon Crandall whose system could use an added spark. Edith Garnsey leaves Jeon DeVoe the honor of being the school’s foremost chatterbox. Mary Alice Harris leaves her intimate friends Esther Sonn and Lillian Boyce to settle their own disputes. Anna Melaga leaves her demure (unseen-unheard) personality to Florence Boyce, whose presence is frequently prominent. Jack McCarty along with Ann Rogers takes leave of the numerous cousins and other relatives (namely Miss Helen Gannon, Joseph Flatley, and Helen Walsh) of good old S. H. S. It has been suggested that Joe and Helen change to a business course and make things easy for themselves, like their predecessors. Jane Duby leaves those virtues that teachers so often praise but so rarely find, promptness in daily assignments, serious altitude toward schoolwork, and com- plete co-operation, to Gerry Hanna, who already has these qualities in large measure. Margaret McGowan, who seems to have the knack of making baskets in a crisis of a basketball game, leaves this most fortunate ability to Bob Sails, who says, quote: “I wish 1 could do that,” or “ain’t that something.” Betty Corselti leaves to Eva Nadeau, a close friend, those common charac- teristics: petiteness, dark-haired attractiveness, and vivacity. We, the Senior class as a whole, will our home room and its annex, the li- brary. to the class of ’46. Furthermore we bequeath the memories of our happy high school days to you unseemingly fortunate successors. In conclusion we re- mind you that as we leave school, it is you that will carry the burdens and pleas- ures of the senior class.

JUNIOR CLASS The class of ’46 began its junior year in high school in Room 15 with Miss Sickler as home room adviser. During our first home room meeting we electe 1 the following officers: President - Vice President - Secretary - Treasurer - Student Council Representat - Bill Myers Joe Flatley Lindley DeGarmo - Paul Boivin ives— Lillian Boyce Guy Corsetti Later in the year Paul Boivin entered the Navy, and Florence Boyce was elected to take his office. When Guy Corsetti was promoted to the Senior class, Bob Bruce was elected to fill his office. During the year, our class h is decreased greatly in number. Paul Boivin. John Riordan and Edgar Hammond left us to enter the Navy. Mac Hughes secured permanent employment outside of school, while Mildred Willette, Guy Corsetti, Denton Vander Poel, Harry Diiket, and Richard Hudson were promoted into the Senior class in January. Although we suffered these losses, we also gained Elaine Coffin. Geneva Garnsey, and Leon Crandall, who were promoted into the class at the half year. We added somewhat to our class funds by selling Christmas cards and by raf- fling off a turkey at Thanksgiving. In December we purchased our Junior rings which we juniors agree are the best the school has seen in some time. We feel we have been successful in school activities because we put on an ex- cellent original radio play in assembly in November, and through a series of basketball games we became the undefeated interclass champions of the school. We are now planning the greatest event in all our high school years, the Junior Prom, and we are going to try to make it a great success. We are also planning to take part in the three one-act plays sponsored by the Student Council to make it possible to purchase a record machine for the school. We have greatly enjoyed our junior year, but we are eagerly looking forward to becoming the leading class of the school. 35 —Lindley DeGarmo ’46 SOPHOMORE CLASS Row 1: Hunt, K.; Hughe� . J.; Tanner.

Rooms 10 and 11 The Sophomore class of Room 10 was under the advisership of Miss Gannon. At the first home room meeting the following officers were chosen: President, Dick Miner; Vice President, Shirley Tanner; Treasurer, Joyce Hughes; Student Coun- cil Representative, Theron Young. Soon after elections our class suffered severe loss of students. Rae Morrill and Art Seney enlisted in the Navy. Bob Meader left school because of serious illness, and Henry Brown and Ray Cook secured permanent work outside of school. Also Geneva Garnsey and Leon Crandall wfere moved into the Junior class at mid- year. During the year our class sponsored a skating party which was attended by a majority of the students in school. We also enjoyed our Christmas party, with its brightly decorated room and abundance of food and presents. This year the Sopohomore class of Room 11, with Miss Brignola as home room adviser, elected these officers: President, James Corsetti; Vice President, Paul Wil- lette; Secretary, Mildred Pensko; Treasurer, Barbara Hunt; Student Council Repre- sentative, James Corsetti. The class of ’47 in Room 11 took part in many different activities during the year. We were especially interested in basketball. The Sophomore boys played a few basketball games against the Freshman and Junior classes. Some of the Sopho- more girls took part in the games against Greenwich High. For the assembly in March our class put on four one-act plays. Now we are looking forward to the play which our room will help put on in May entitled, “Luncheon for Six.” —Robert Farrell ’47, Rm. 10; Mildred Pensko ’47, Rm. 11 36 Row 1: Cromie. It.; Milligan.

FRESHMAN CLASS Room 14 At the beginning of the year, the first thing the Freshmen of Room 14 did, under the supervision of Mrs. Ross, was to choose their officers. William Keeley was chosen president and when he resigned, Gladys Peters became the new presi- dent. Duane Sails was vice-president until he left school, and then Francis Drew took over the position. He also left school, so now Richard Bauer is our vice- president. Joan Milligan was elected secretary and Joseph Canzeri, treasurer. The Student Council representative chosen was John Mezera. We put on our assembly program April 13th. That same night we sponsored a dance. On June 1st both rooms are planning a Freshman Frolic, our last big event of the year. —Joan Milligan ’48 Room 16 In the first meeting of the Freshman class of Room 16, under Miss Terpening, the following officers were chosen: President, Peggy Duby; Vice-president, Art Lee; Treasurer, Roland Cromie; Secretary, Bill Clement; Student Council Repre- sentative, Jane McRae. The class as a whole participated in school affairs for the year. A dance was sponsored by the Freshmen to raise a sum of money for the treasury, when the dues, which were 25 cents a month, were discontinued. An assembly program was put on by the class, in which the audience took part. Two, or as many students as were necessary, would carry out or wear on the stage articles that represented a title of a book. If a person in the audience knew the title, he would raise his hand and be asked the answer. All the titles were worked out accordingly. Ernest Coffinger was elected Vice-president when Art Lee was transferred to another homeroom at midyear. Then we also lost Norman Pett as a member but welcomed Lena DeLuca to our group. At present, plans are being made by both home rooms for the annual Freshman Frolic to be held the first of June. 37 —William Clement ’48 EIGHTH GRADE How 1 : How 2: How 3: How 4 : Row Mullen.

Row 2: Corsetti, J.; Charron, A.; Boyce, L.; Young, T.; Corsetti, G.; Mr. Stanton. The Senior Student Council is an organization of students chosen by their classmates to represent them in the affairs of the school. Mr. Stanton supervised the organization this year. Every year the organization tries to make a contribution to the school. This semester, we purchased a recording machine. Each Senior High room raised money for it by putting on plays. The following officers served: President ----- Robert O’Brien Co-Vice Presidents - Jack McCarty Herbert DeGarmo Secretary ----- Eileen Nevins Treasurer ----- Theron Young Eileen Nevins ’45 12 SENIOR HIGH SERVICE CLUB Row 1: Walsh, H.; Garnsey, E.; DeGarmo, H.; Nevins, E.; Harris, M.; Munson, M.; Sonn, E.

This year it is under the supervision of Miss Sickler. At the beginning of each school year the home room teachers of Senior High pick a certain number of students whom they think qualified to become members of this club. They are chosen according to the qualities of co-operation, courtesy, cleanliness, and control. There is no limited membership to this club. The outstanding activity this year in Service Club was the purchasing of pins. We were very much pleased with them. The officers of the Club are: President - Mary Alice Harris Vice-President - Martin Munson Secretary ----- Eileen Nevins Treasurer - Herbert DeGarmo —Eileen Nevins ’45 43 STAMP AND BOND CLUB Row 1: Larmon, D.; Duket, H.; Miner, R.; Periard, E.; McCarty, J.; Munson, M.; Flatley, J. Row 2: O’Brien, R.; Sails, R.; Miss Gannon; DeGarmo, L.; Farrell, R. The Stamp and Bond Club, under the supervision of Miss Helen Gannon, has striven vigorously this year to reach a new high in the sale of War Bonds and Stamps throughout the school. Each Friday noon the collection is taken by the club members in each home loom. The money is then checked and brought to the Post Office. On Monday noon the Stamps and Bonds are passed out by the members of the club. Officers of the Club are: Co-Presidents - John McCarty, Eugene Periard Secretary ----- Richard Miner Treasurer ----- Martin Munson During the months of February, March, and April, the Club made a special drive for the purchase of the “Weasel” on which the name of our school would appear. Between the months of September, 1944, and March 16, 1945, the Club has been credited with the sale of $40,555.55 worth of Stamps and Bonds, a sum of which we are reasonably proud but which we hope to better next year. —Martin Munson ’45 44 BOYS' AND GIRLS' LIBRARY CLUB Row 1: Hughes. .1.: Willette.

Some of the duties of the Library Club members are to prepare new books for the students’ use, take charge of magazines in the study hall, collect over-due books and help Miss Terpening in the library. At one of our meetings we had a poll to decide the most popular books in the library, both for fiction books and non-fiction books. The first three fiction books were “17th Summer,” “Fair Stood the Wind for France,” and “And Now Tomor- row.” The first three non-fiction books were “The Story of Dr. Wassell,” “Who Walk Alone,” and “Guadalcanal Diary.” We are now making plans for a combined Boys’ and Girls’ Library Club picnic this spring. Officers of the Club are: President ----- Florence Boyce Vice President - Ruth Willette Secretary ----- Joyce Hughes —Alice Nevins ’45 Boys’ Library Club The first Friday of every month the Boys’ Library Club held its meeting. Many of the members were unable to attend the meetings because Physics Lab. was also scheduled for the first Friday of the month. All of the members, however, took part in the regular duties of the club. The duties of the Boys’ Library Club are much like those of the Girls’ Library Club. At one meeting each member recommended one book for general reading. Later a bulletin board display was made from this list. The highlight of another meet- ing was a scrambled title and author contest between two chosen teams.

The officers selected were: Chairman...........................Curt Bauer Co-Chairman ----- Bill Myers In one meeting, a debate with two teams was held. Among the topics discussed were the Russo-Polish dispute and the peace-time draft question. In another meeting, a question bee on current events was held. It included famous dates and personalities. —Richard Elwell ’45 46 SENIOR HIGH CHEF CLUB Row 1: Kravcov, F.; Lee, A.; Sullivan, D.; Cooney, L.; Hughes, R. Row 2: Derby, R.; Pett, N.; Mrs. Elwell; Sullivan, K.; DeMarco, A. The Senior Chef Club meets once a month under the supervision of Mrs. A. Elwell, homemaking teacher. It was started two years ago and has met with great success. Instructions are given orally, and no text book is used. This year, demonstra- tions were given in the following: techniques in bedmaking, pressing clothes, laun- dering and blocking sweaters. Essentials in etiquette also proved to be a very in- teresting topic for discussion. During these meetings, the boys secured much knowledge in solving home problems, such as food rationing, that have arisen from the war. —Eileen Nevins '45 17 SPORTS COUNCIL How 1: Derby, K.; Periard.

S.; DeGarmo I, The Black Horses of Schuylerville High, under the supervision of Coaches Stanton and O’Brien, had an unfortunate season with the winning of 2 out of 12 league games. The Schuylerville five got off on a flying start by overwhelming the Burnt Hills five on our home court. After this game the Black Horses had tough luck until they met Greenwich in a return game on the Schuylerville court. The Black Horses also succeeded in winning over Hartford, a non-league game. The team felt keenly the loss of Howard Hespelt, who died in December, 1943. This year’s team, however, was honored by the return of three pust graduates who were members of last year’s squad: Vern Towns, Don Hathaway, and Steve Oslica. High men of the Schuylerville five were Joe Platley with 77, Bob Myers with 54, and Bill Myers and Vern Towns with 51 points. Leading substitutes of the team were Curt Bauer and Bob Bruce. Following the end of the season Steve Oslica and Don Hathaway joined the ranks of Uncle Sam’s Navy. Next season many of the Jay Vee boys will be seeking positions on the varsity ball team, and the prospects for the team look good.

Coach: Miss Moon The cheerleading team of the 1944-45 season, under the supervision of Miss Moon, has done a marvelous job of cheering our boys on to victory. With “Lil” Boyce chosen captain, the squad consisted of Mary Alice Harris, Esther Sonn, Carmella Sirchia, Florence Boyce, and Mary Fremont, who were mem- bers of last year’s team, and the only new leader chosen this season, Shirley Tanner. Probably the most unique of the new cheers introduced this season was the fight cheer, in which the leaders formed a circle in the center of the court with the cap- tain in the center and did the fight clap. This cheer brought hearty applause. These girls have worked hard for their success and are sure to keep up the good work in future seasons. —Martin Munson ’45 53 JUNIOR VARSITY BASKETBALL AM) CHEERLEADERS Row 1: Miller, G.; Larmon. 1).; Sullivan. 1 .: Sails.

The starting line-up consisted of Dave Larmon, Jack O’Brien, Don Sullivan, Dick Miner, and Bob Sails. High scorers of the Jay Vee five were Dave Larmon with 55 points, Jack O’Brien with 34 and Don Sullivan with 24. These Jay Vee boys look very promising as future varsity men. The scores of the home games were as follows: Opp. S.H.S. South High 32 33 Corinth 25 28 Stillwater 24 21 Ballston Spa 23 31 Greenwich 24 45 Along toward the middle of the season a Jay Vee cheerleading team was se- lected by Miss Moon and consisted of Peggy King, Joyce Hughes, Barbara Thomas, Helen Walsh, Maryln Sails, Charlotte Almy, and Peggy Duby. These girls made a very good start and will surely make good at varsity cheerleading, in the future. 54 —Martin Munson ’45 BASEBALL. 1944 How 1: Larmon. D.; Oslica. 8.: Myers. R ; Bauer. C.; Sails.

R The Sehuylerville High baseball team ended a successful season by winning second place in the Northern League. The team was defeated twice by South High and once by Luzerne, winning over Corinth twice and tying once. Of the four non-league games played with Green- wich and Hoosick Falls, the team won once over Hoosick Falls. It was the first year on the diamond for most of the men. Jack McCarty had the highest batting average with Don Hathaway getting second highest. These men being seasoned in 44 will surely help to develop a top team for the '45 season.
