DU CJD This is Charlotte Hoover The time is now 1939. Our first program (and book) of the Senior Class is to be dedicated to Mr. Pratt who has been so kind to help us with our pictures and system of television. Let us pause for a moment in memory of one of-our friends and classmates, David Porter, who was the wittiest and most 'brilliant of the class. To open our program this year, I wish to thank our sponsors, the board and faculty for giving us the opportunity to present you with our activities of the past year. Our sponsors, the faculty, who have faithfully kept us on the pathway to success, and the members of the board of education who have appropi- K. I_j5f ated the means for our having these chances, are to have the first words on our opening night. Left to right, back row; Mr. Kessler, Mrs'. Dudley, Mrs. Til ley. Miss Aiken, I.Iiss Maltby, Mrs. Keeler, ‘ Mr. Pratt Front'row, left to right; Miss Daab, Mr. Marshall, Miss Matis, Miss Constance, Mr. Blake and Miss DeLyno. The Board of Education and Faculty of Theresa High School wish to take this opportunity to congrat- ulate you, the Class of 1959, on your success, which has culminated in your being the graduates of this year. This yeai’ book, the production of which docs not mean much to you now, in later years will recall to mind pleasant memories and faces which would be lost without it. The one desire that has been preva- lent upon the part of your Teachers is that in later years we may know you as real men and women, main- tainors of homes, mothers and fathers of another worth- while generation and realise that possibly we played a small part in your success. Thank you, Mr. Kessler. Every organization has a creed by which it ex-prc3scs its faith and promises to keep certain vows. V c have chosen Viola Seymour to present you with our Class Creed. Viola can bc3t be described by this short quotation: 'V Still water runs deep. CLASS CREED Friends of the radio audience: As other classes have creeds, so havo we, the class of 1939 of the Theresa High School. We believe in many great and good things. We feel that it is necessary for us to explain our creed, for several outstanding reasons. We believe in our future and in the possibilities of advancement; yet we realize that in all progress there lies the certainty of change. The principles for which we have elected to stand are the great fundamentals of life that form the foundation of manhood and womanhood. We think that wo should allow ourselves to be put upon the e- ternal records as having givon much interest in each of them. First, as a class, we believe in our motto Success Is Victory. We do not believe that we could have secured a more well-moaning motto thon the one we have chosen, even if we had searched in a thousand other books and places. We, as a class, feel that we have chosen.our motto vory carefully r.nu in: the year borcor.ia, wpMiavc. ddbori.umod to turn every thought and ambition toward Success Is Vic- tory. We.believe in tho triumph of all good and the downfall of all evil and pledge ourselves to v ork it out to the greatest extent. We bcliove very dearly in the motto Success In Victory. We believe, secondly, in our colors, crimson and silver, that it is suitable for all groups of individuals, to show their colors bravely and boldly, in order that the world may know just where they 3tand. We believe in our colors, because thoy point out to us just what a perfect life should bo like at the boginning of its courso through the world's work. We shall do everything that is within our strength to force all the world to believe in our class colors, Crimson and silver. Wo believe, thirdly, in our class flower, the rose. There are reasons why we have chosen the rose to be our class flower. First, because its beauty and richness appeals to our artistic sense. Secondly because it is the greatest symbol of love and honor. f Fourth and last, friends, v c believe in our- selves. Of course, v c have to or nobody else would. Y c believe in ourselves because v c hope and think that v c are just beginning to £ct acquainted with ourselves. This means that v c know all our weakness- es and we have a l:nowled£c of what v c can do. V ith our beliefs with colors, motto still in our mind, v c move as a class across the boundary line which separates school life from life's £rcat school. Friends this is our creed—not much of a creed to those who have learned the lessons of life but to us who have just nicely begun our work, it means a great deal. Let us be loyal to that creed. Thank you, Viola. We interrupt this program to give you listeners a humor interest story. Early this evening, Robert Tilly drove up in front of Mery Stone's house. She came out and got in the car, but it seems the car was stuck in the snow. Aaron Horton, v ho had not arrived before I.Ir. Tilley came walking up the street to take Mary for a walk. When he arrived, he saw that the car was stuck. lie borrowed a shovel and helped Bob out. Then Ilary and Robert drove off, leaving Aaron standing there with the shovel in his hand, yes, said Aaron, ''That's gratitude for you. This interruption was caused by a young reporter, Roger Wilson. lJo doubt our rude intruder will be heard again, [although Roger is usually content to stand back and only help when he is needed; still Roger does not stand back when there is a pretty girl going by. Time ha3 marched on to June 1939 and so now v e have before us a girl who has the queerest ideas and asks the oddest questions. Bertha Garceau will give you our March of Time. wmmmmmmmmam THE MARCH OF TIME Ladles and gentlemen of radioland, it Is a great pleasure to present to you tho March of Time of the classes of the Theresa High.

The first grade during tho fall went on several field trips, studying fall flowers and weeds. They also made an autumn sand table. During the fall they also made a farm project and in connection with this project they .studied milk and made butter which was served with gingerbread made by the second grade, The first grade presented for the Parent Teachers Association a program consisting of songs, pieces and exercises. The first two grades entertained the third and fourth at a Hallowe'en party in the gym and Hallowe'en games were played. Apples were •: served. The first grade took part in putting on pro- grams for Thanksgiving and Christmas. The children made valentines which were given out the day of the valentine party, games wore played and jello and cookies wore served. The second grade started the term by carrying on a safety project which lasted for nearly six weeks. At the end of that time they presented a safety play for Primary Assembly and later for the Parent Teachers' Association. The second grade also helped in presenting the Hallowe en party in the gym. After tho games were played, everyone got a noisemaker to take home. In December they spent a morning in the kitchen. They read Grand- mother's Churn in their reader. The story told of a boy and girl making gingerbread and butter. They baked the gingerbread, each one of the pupils helping with the measuring and mixing. The first grade made butter to serve on it. February four- teenth they had a Valentine party in their room ex- changing valentines and p3crying games. They had jello and cookies for refreshments. They are keeping weather calendars for each month and they are loarning to read a thermometer. They oro planning a puppet show for a spring project. Lyle Shurtloff has had the best attendance this year. Lucy Turnor 13 in the first placo for the girl's prise. The third grade has taken two field trlpp, ono during the fall and one in the winter. On both trips they obsorved the plants and animals. Aftor they completed their milk project, they entertained the first and second grades. This grade explained to the other grades their model pasture. They told them interesting thing? they had learned about milk, and served refreshments. At anothor party they en- tertained the grades downstairs. They also drama- tized a hoalth play written by their teacher. Miss Aiken. Recently, they finished a project on cotton. Besides learning much about cotton and cotton pro- ducts they made a ■ miniature cotton plantation. They visited the local bakery early in the winter. Mr. Kingston explained the different machines to them. He also made brown bread while they looked on. He gave each of them a cookie before they loft. While they were studying grains, they ground corn between stones and mado corn meal tho way the Indians used to do. For some time they have been studying the different bcgctables in tho different kinds of soil. They have enjoyed watching their bean plant which grew until it bore young beans. They also proved that plants grow, toward the light, that plants make foods in the leaves and that plants need air as well as light to grow. Dramatizing thoir stories in reading has proved enjoyable and worthwhile. One story especially, Thanksgiving Looms , they dramatized for the Parent Teachers Association. During one of their Assembly programs they dramatized The Music Queen's Court . It is the story of the behavior of the signs of lusic. Another Interesting activity that they have done is their weather chart. They also have a spell- ing chart. Each Friday everyone who gots his words spelled correctly gets a gold star. The ones who miss one word get a gold star. Marjorie Buison and Elaine Farrcl arc ahead at present. They are keeping a writing notebook. It is interesting to mote their progress in writing. Thoir studies for the remainder of the year have many more activities in store for them. They enjoy activity because it makes their work soom like play. The fourth grade had a Hallowc1en party. The childron dressed up and thoy had a big party in the gym with the other throo grades. There was a pea- nut hunt and other games. Apples wore served for refreshments. At Christmas time they had a Christ- mas tree and the pupils exchanged gifts. Valen- tine's day thoy had a Valentine box and exchanged valentines. They had heart shape cookies given by Stanley Aiken and fruit salad. Thoy did a geo- graphy project. Booklets were made and in them dittoed pictures from different countries and a story writton about each country. In music they made a poster. They composed thoir own tunes and made up their own words. In spelling they had a contest. The side losing had to treat the winners. The boys won so the girls hnd a program and served pop-corn and apples. The fifth and sixth grade had a Hallowe'en party and the children dressed in costumes . Hal- lowe'en stunts were played. Apples and nuts wero served for refreshments. In Social Studies while they were studying Columbus and his discoveries, both grades made a project on the Indian. One pupil brought little evergreen trees for a forest others made a wigwam for the forest; and others made the Indians and boats. While studing one of their Christmas atorics, they made a booklet il- lustrating a. Christmas tree and party. During the syudy of Florida which is purposely time during tho time people leave New York for winter resorts, both grades made maps of Florida and placed on the maps important winter resorts and wrote out booklets out a trip covering Important points in Florida. They had a bulletin uuard display of Florida in pictures. The fifth grade made illustrated booklets on the life of Washington and the sixth grade made booklets on the life of Lincoln pictures were done by both grades. A Valentine display. It seems to me that all the grades have had a great time during the year. Thank You ■KgenSfcTSCHMSMflBHNHH Calling all cars, calling all cars. Hurry to the Orobed road. Paul Decker and Charlotte Hoover have just run out of gas. That, radio listeners, was our pest reporter again. How let us continue with our program. As our country and school have songs so has our class. Our song was written under the chairmanship of Flo- rence Kioclc. For Florence we have chosen a sentence to describe her to you. It fepresonts her sentiment: After all here is nothing prettier than a wedding gown. Dear friends, teachers, and classmates, we the class of ’39 have worked for honor and success. Hero is a song to convey our feelings. It was composed by the Harmony 11 Class of ’39« FAREWELL TO OUR HIGH SCHOOL Our high school days are over. But our life has just begun; We will miss our friends and toachors who have helped us everyone. Farewell, teachers and classmates, and the ones we hold so dear, We must leave you and seek our fortunes through- out the coming years. Farowoll, farewell is a lovely sound and always brings a sigh; We will always work and never fail. In life's battle we'll prevail. It's ever onward, our course pursuing, may defoar ne'or our ardor, cool, But united we will boost for her, our old high school. Thanks to You, Harmony Class Every person in thi3 school hopes to do some special work Two mergers of our class are going to carry on our program with our prophecy. These two are the fun lovers and perhaps the mischief makers, Willian Glenn’Todd. Bill is ncvor one serious thought We always remember him as the same fun-loving Bill. Then for Glen we have chosen a short verse: Happy am I, from care I'm free, I wish all others the same could be. Glen: Why hello there if it isn't Bill, What are you doing now anyway. Bill? Oh, you're work- ing for a newspaper on the German situation. Bill: I think X know your business or lots of people should. I saw in the paper you were going to play with the Hew York Yankees this season. You're certainly doing well as a professional baseball player. Bill: Yes the newspaper business certainly has been pretty important especially the foreign news as to the probablitics of v ar. Glen: Well I am having the time of myalife playing baseball and I make a very good living as well as all the amusement which it provides for me. I'd like to hoar what has happened to the class of '39. You'must contact a numbor of them. Bill: Surely I do. Have you heard about Charlotte Hoover? You remomber her don't you? Well, she went to Albany Teachers' College and now she's teaching in some, great school I can't remember tho place. Glen: Yes, I think she is teaching Chemistry in the University of Chicago. Sho was a smart girl and she always had a knack for Chemistry, anyway Bill: You know I heard that Wilson was a traveling salesman, working for some big rug concern and spending most of his time on-tho road. That . • . would be just the life for him. drives one of those Fords? I 'spofe he still Glen: Yes, but Aaron Horton doesn't. Aaron Horton, the big, fat boy who always boasted of his journa] istic abilities? Well, he finally received a position on a newspaper and at present is working down in Texas. He is doing a fine job of his work too. Bill: You can hoar Timmerman, who used to play the violin, over the radio now. He's taken up piano and is playing with a large orchestra down in How York City. Ho certainly knows his music. Glen: Yes, I'll agroe with you. Lyle studied hard on his music whon in school. While speaking about the city let mo toll you about some more of the class. Bertha Garceau, the former Margaret Alton and Gerald Dosermeau arc there. Bertha is an . actress. She was good in dramatics even when in high school. She went to Hew York right after school at Theresa. Gerald and Margaret are very busy. They own a truck garden and go to the city with goods daily. Geet They were a devoted couple, all right. Bill: That's nice. I hope they get along. Speaking of people being devoted, it reminds me of Ann Howland and Viola Seymour. You never saw: one but the other was some place near. How Ann is an Opera Singer over WSYR network and Viola is a registered nurse at Syracuse. Viola works hard and is at the head of the hospital and is in turn to be superintendent. Glenn: She scorned to be a leader all right. Sho certainly lcno.ws how to work. Bill: Florence Klock you remember her don't you? Glen: I think so. Wasn't she tha little blonde- haired girl? Bill; Yes, she is now a music teacher in the Ogdonsburg High School. Sho wont abroad and studied for a long tine. Glen: She nust knov muoic then. Did you know Joyce Nouroth was the stenographer for the General Electric works at Schcnactady. That is a good position. Bill: Do you know anything about the rest? Glen: No, I don't because I have been away and just recently returned. Bill: V ell, I must be on my v ay to find more news for the paper to-morrow. Glen: I am very glad to have seen you and an glad to hear the occupations of the seniors. Goodbye I Bill: So long I Thank you, boys. We pause briefly for station-identification. This is station T. H. S. coning to you from the auditorium of Theresa High School. Now to renew our program we have what we call a giftorian. We hope our gifts to our classmates and radio friends will all be accepted in good fun. Our awards arc to be presented by a young, dark-hairr girl whom we all know as Joyce Neuroth. Classmates: Now that you have seen what is in store for all of you, I have talcon the pains to gathor these mementos which will help you to meet your duties of life.

My wish is to help each one of you in my small v ay toward tho success you arc in the future to achieve. I am sure you will each accept the simple gift in the same spirit that I present it. As I call your names, one by one, v ill you please come forward to re- ceive this trifling token, my interest in your future. William Smith--Judging by your writing in school you need more practice--or something—I don’t want to say any more about your writing but will present you with tills mirror. I know it is a good one and will help you with your -work greatly. It is essential for a journal ist bo write his own name so that other people can read it. Just hold your writing to this mirror. Poop! can read it backwards. Florence Klock--Any teacher must be prompt, and would never do for you to be latp Miss Klock. Please accept this time piece with my best wishes. Roger Wilson—Any salesman needs a good gift of so accept this specially designed victrola needles to help with your life work.

Accept these spectacles, Mi3s Seymour. Glen Todd--Any great baseball player has his ups and downs; so when you have your downs don't get dis- couraged. Accept this bottle of linement. Your pitc inG gyrations may lame you. Just be sure to rub it on well. Charlotte Hoover—As you are to spend your time ; Chicago, I thought it advantageous that you become acquainted with tho Loop. Accept this loop; keep it handy; learn its idiosyncrasies. It can be used as a capacity. Lyle Timmerman—Any great musician needs rosin f his violin. I hope this piece of rosin will help in moro ways than one. If you put it on your hands thin will not slip through your fingers. It might help in kcoping your girl. Bertha Garceau--Wc all like actresses which aro active and aro good. We like thorn with plenty of make up; so accept this lipstick and use it only when you are on the stage. It would be a shame to wasto it in every day use. Gerald Dosorncau—Every farmer needs a truck, especially if he tries to supply a city.' Here is a model truck for you. Remember the lav requires ton- nage to be put on 5.n large numbers. This truck is va] uablc because of the Alton capicity. Margaret Alton--Evory housekeeper, especially a truck gardener’s wife is very busy and has many dis- tractions from her work. Accept this bottle of glue. Perhaps it will help you stick to your work. Aaron Norton--Of course journalists get tired anc you will too. Accept this sofa pillow to aid you when tired. With this you can recline under a big shade tree and collect the news as it comes over your portal radio. Ronenber a stone may disturb your rest. Ann Howland--Opera Singers need to look beautiful, so accept this pitch pipe. Strike the right note an- howl-on. And now, classmates, trusting these little gifts will assist you in facing the future fearlessly, and that they will give you pleasure and enjoyment, I hope that each gifts taken my prove like mercy in its ability to bless him that gives and then that takes. Thank you, Joyce, for your gifts, have all been accepted in good faith. I am sure the We now bring you a news flash that has just been gathered by the Theresa Press.

We are proud to say that fhe Theresa High School basketball squad has enjoyed a successful season. It is true the losses were more than triple the wins yet no school can rema in the win column constantly. The players shov ed the selves to be true sportsmen on and off the court. As a result of this fine showing, Theresa High School wa awarded by other minor league members the sportsmansh banner for the season 1938-39. The true meaning of sportsmanship is symbolized this. Trophies hold a significant place in our minds but this year Theresa sport followers are duly proud of their newly awarded sportsmanship banner. Frederick Strough and Paul Bartlett were the lea ing scorers of their team this year, scoring 63 and 5 respectfully. On numerous occasions Strough showed a uncanny ability to locate the hoop. Bertlett shov ed great deal of ability on the defensive while Porter, Ferguson, and Strough shov ed themselves to be versati courtmen. This aggregation promises to furnish plent of opposition to all comers In the next year on two. a A V THERESA OPPONENTS 20 18 Redwood 13 16 LaFargeville 14 42 Cape Vincent 7 46 Black River 21 30 Antwerp 18 21 Evans Mills 15 17 Philadelphia 16 14 Redwood 14 36 LaFargeville 15 39 Antwerp 14 31 Evans Mills 12 37 Black River 24 14 Philadelphia Second Cape Vincent game was forfeited by Theresa.
