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

“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

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
