Eventually, time rolls on; For even the brightest of sunsets A moon For even the darkest of nights A new day For the old and the tired Another breath of life For the young and the searching A lesson learned For even the saddest of days A ray of sunlight For every human being on earth A happier way to live And eventually time rolls on John Drovin 8

Seventeen years is a lifetime to the members of the class of 1975 but those same years seem like such a short time to Mrs. Agness Bell Powers our teacher and our friend. It was in September 1959 that Mrs. Powers joined our high school faculty and began teaching social studies. Although she specialized in American History for most of her career, in the last several school terms she has been better known for her work with the senior elective courses, Humanities, American Culture, and Minority Studies. In addition to her classroom teaching, Mrs. Powers has been willing to provide us with leadership in our extra cur- ricular affairs; she could be depended upon to support us in our activities not only in school but in the community as well. One of the first faculty advisors to American Field Service she sponsored the annual Christmas Bazaar which was so well received for so many years. A short time later Mrs. Power became advisor to the Senior class and the an- nual prom and banquet showed the Powers’ flair for throw- ing a party. Mrs. Powers was also very active in faculty affairs during her career; her colleagues recall thoughtfulness and an un- surpassed ability to put on a clam bake or get up a surprise party at a moments notice. Mrs. Powers’ feats of derring do, as performer in the talent show, in the faculty gold league, as a bowler and as mistress of ceremonies in the faculty room brings smiles to the faces of many of the vet- eran staff members. The teachers association, recognizing her leadership ability, elected Mrs. Powers secretary of their association; she has also served as negotiator on the salary committee. Doctor Clyde Eidens, Superintendent of Schools, recog- nizing Mrs. Powers’ intimate knowledge of the community has asked that each year she conduct the new teachers on a tour of Scotia-Glenville landmarks and resources. The PTA council has also honored her with a lifetime member- ship in recognition of her efforts on behalf of Scotia-Glen- ville students. As for the Class of 1975 we will remember her for the de- demanding, meticulous expectation in the design and construction of this yearbook. We will remember her for her leadership which during the past nine years has made the Acropolis the largest, most innovative high school an- nual in the entire Northeast. Fondly, we will remember the field trips to New York City, the lollipops for good work both in and out of school, the annual recitation of the Gettysburg address, and best of all her efforts to be so hard-hearted when we all know what a softy she really is. Mr. and Mrs. Powers, parents of five Scotia-Glenville graduates, are looking forward to a retirement which will find them living in their new home on Jekyll Island, Georgia and their cottage on Galway Lake during the sum- mer. Mrs. Powers will have more time to pursue her hob- bies, collecting antiques, digging for old bottles, playing a little golf and looking for an excuse to give someone a party. Frequently stubborn, occasionally irrascible, prone to exaggeration sometimes misunderstood, but always loved and respected by all, Agness Bell Powers will be long re- membered by the Class of 1975 and by hundreds and hun- dreds of Scotia-Glenville alumni. Mrs. Powers, Aggie'' we dedicate this yearbook to you with sincere affection we bid you farewell. May your retirement years be long and full of happiness. We will miss you. 7
