Patricia Procter PERSONAL SALESMANSHIP Personal salesmanship is very essen- tial today. We are all salesmen even though we do not travel around carrying a sample kit. We sell our plans and ideas. If these plans are good we are allowed to try again. Our personal salesmanship depends on a pleasing personality, honesty, tact, shrewdness, sympathy and genuine int- erest in others. Other people like to think Writ we are interested in their hobbies and ambitions. We also like to have others listen to our experiences, opinions, wants and needs. In return, we win friends who could not be won otherwise. We should always put our own inter- ests secondary if we wish to be a good salesman. This is the only way by which we can be successful salesmen of our personalities. In the following interviews each of the seniors is going to sell himself. -----Barbara Cheeseman 2 THIS YEARBOOK IS DEDICATED TO James H.

She is most ambitious and hard working, as shown by the fact that she is the salutatorian of the gradu- ating class. During high school, Barby has been a member of the dee Club, secretary-treasurer of the Junior Class; she played a part in the senior play-helped with the lunch program and was on the movie committee. Also, Barby kept the school prompted on senior events by writing in the PACEMAKER. Your reporter expects to see Barbara in a crisp white uni- form behind a streamlined desk in one of New York's famous hospitals in 1953----She is an acting supervisor, an ambition finally fulfilled after having attended Syracuse University, where she earned B. S. degree. Having gained fame, many young internes cast sly glances in her direction, but are sadly disappointed as Barby has now gotten herself engaged to a professional coSworker. What a shining future! With a shy smile, Barby de- clared, I remember our last dances. VJhat fun! I'll never forget the night Mrs..Keeler was unable to help and so Mr. Kessler came to the rescue. Hie stove made a mess in the kitchen so we had to scrub the whole place—dishes, furniture and everything. But seriously we made good. An easy . 200 was cleared. Hie first few tines, we served lunches and the very first time we had at least two extra-big salads left. Next year, when History C has begun, said Barbara, I want Geraldine Walsh to have my wrong answers. You may also have my willingness to wash dishes Jerry. Margaret Kelsey may have my good-nature. My intellect, I shall will to my friend, Eleanor Vock. It might make her Valedictorian of '44. (It did pretty well for me) Oh, yes! Above all, I want to give Charles Stewart my coope- ration. And so, concluded Barbara, you have my past, present and future. SALUTATORY Parents, teachers, friends: VJhen the lights cane on again all over the world wo'11 all have time for all the things made dear to us through the traditional practices of years. Yes, when the all-clear sounds the children of all the nations will have a chance like ours for education under ideal conditions. They will, in years to cone, be able to receive diplomas just as we are tonight. It is through your efforts and encouragements that we have gained the honor of being on the stage tonight to receive our diplomas, but after tonight we can no longer call ourselves high school students, al- though we will continue being students in walks of life. Sach of us will pursue the type of workfor which we have been preparing ourselves during the past four years. It is very important that we follow through with the work which we have started, now that we arc in this great conflict to keep the world as it was before this struggle started so that the future generations my have the great privilege of choosing their own careers the same as our generation has. It is our duty to our country, as well as to you, to car- ry on with the work for which you have so faithfully and unselfishly helped us prepare ourselves. May the all-clear sound soon and the lights come on again. Mr. Kessler, may I present the Class of 1943 as candidates for graduation. Helen Hamilton (Arlene Stewart) One afternoon this reporter gallivanted to Helen with an idea of interviewing her. Vihen I readied her house she was in the midst of preparations for going away which of course was something uftusual. Anyhow aa she was getting ready Helen spoke about her high school days and how she felt about being senior. Well, I feel more grown up and a bit uncertain about my future since ray carefree days are over, said Helen. During my high school days, I've en- joyed many activities. I was secretary and treasurer of the Sophomore Class, cheer leader, member of the Glee Club and of the Band—drum majorette. I've served on party committees; I have served cocoa and doughnut at ball games; I have managed movies. I was advertising man- ager of the year book; on the dance committee. I served on the hot lunch committee;I have taken part in assembly prog- rams. I think my school days were busy ones! On being asked if she'd had any fun in high school Helen recalled a freshman party that had taken place in the gymnas- ium. Great fun! Then, con- tinued Helen, another party was held during my sophomore year. We danced at that party and had refreshments. During my junior year we had a dunce in the gym with Shaw's orches- in the gym with Shaw's orches- tra. Our profit was $13.40... Oh, yes, laughed Helen Each year it is the custom of the Junior Class to entertain the Senior Class. Last year we vlid things up in good style for we had a banquet put on by the Ladies' Aid followed by a trip to a movie in Watertown. This year wo were entertained by the Junior Class who took us to the movies and to supper at 'forgin's, she said. Nov I have done everything but make my will. I want to will my love for dancing to E v e 1 yn Vock; my ability to get along with the male population to Mary Manning; my liking for bookkeeping to Rosen'y Cheese- nan and I will each of my ex- cuse blanks to Art Jones. Helen rushed away with her usual flurry and left this re- porter with a conviction as to why gentlemen prefer blondes!! a Phillip Shuvtloff (Varna Kingston) Phillip Shurtleff, the only fellow In the class of '43 has gone to work on the farm for the duration. Your reporter vn.ll let you in on Phil's past present and future with a few quotations from the topic him- self. He's short, being but a mere five feet two. He has brown hair and the habit of wearing the best looking sweaters! His blue eyes gather a faint glint in English class even at the slightest mention of a project for Ag. In History C class he always has a run of good ans- wers. To know Phillip is to meet (not in person, mind you) almost any United States sen- ator. In the future, you'll surely see him operating his modem, scientific farm with all extra gadgets. Large fancy signs will be noticed on the build- ings and fences. He learned this from making signs for the senior dances and parties. Oh yes! Inside will be waiting a beautiful co-od from Cornell U. He'll meet her in his sen- ior year according to the cel- estial bodies. During high school training Phillip has been basket ball manager, president of the Sen- ior Class, lead in the senior play, Old Snoopy as well as other plays, and an active member of the 4-H and F. F. A. He has been chosen several times to go to other towns to judge animals. (Here's hoping he picks a wife as well as he picks piglets!) I like being a senior, says Phil, but I hate being over-run by a bunch of convin- cing females. Poor Phil! It is the truth. As the senior year draws to a close I wish to leave sever- al things to the remaining pu- pils. To Bob Hicks goes my job as basketball manager; to Jim Vock ny rides to Redwood. You, Charles Stewart, nay have my figure. To Sonny Young goes my seat during the basketball games of '44. To Barney goes my arguments with Verna and I guess that's all...... Marguerite Steacy (Barbara Cheeseman) Marguerite Stoacy, formerly of Brownville—Glen Park school came to us in January. She is a quiet person and always pre- pared to help others when they need it. While in her former school she had many outside activ- ities which included: working in the school cafeteria; as- sistant editor of the class paper; being a glee club mem- ber for two years; and taking part in the basket ball ganos which were held during the noon hours for the entertain- ment of all the students. During the- interview with her this reporter asked hew it felt to be a senior. Her reply was, It makes me feel pretty proud to think wc arc going out of high school into this world and try to make a suc- cess of our lives. According to the subject of this interview the activity most vivid in her memory is the movies which were held in the school auditorium every other Friday. They were spon- sored by the Senior Class and shown by !.Ir. Swartout of Alex- andria Bay. She recalled that the seniors made almost sixty dollars profit. Marguerite has decided that she will become a telephone operator, so do not be sur- prised if one day you hear her voice, Number, please 1 She wishes to will her ten- dency to talk during school hours to Eleanor Vock. Ardis V icks (Verna Kingston) Ardie, one of the five brun- ettes in the class, is five feet three and her 120 lbs. is distributed beautifully. She is well-known for her lovely sinline voice. Throughout the four years of high school she has been very active: glee club, assemblies, commencement, two operettas, band. She was secretary ofthe Athletic Council for two years and an honorary member for onq president of the Freshmen and Junior classes, co-candy mana- ger, and sports editor for the PACEMAKER. She played Helen” in Old Snoopy. ’Then asked how she liked be- ing a senior, Ardie declared, It's the most wonderful year in high school. Her plans for her future in- volve a period of two years in a telegraph office or defense plant followed by a course in beauty operating. (She plans her own shop.) In my old age statistics show that I shall be a wife;«which suits me fine since I've always pictured old lace by the fireside. She went on, I remember the fun Verna and I had fixing the broken basket of candy and how angry I became when someone dug up the bottom candy bar after I had just finished re- arranging the basket and how the mice consumed our peanuts and a couple Milky faysI (They were my favorite too.) Oh, and the difficulty I had getting rid of the pencils I Those war time erasers I Remember Car- thage tournament in our junior year? Me with a tray of hot dogs on my head and a pail of pop in my hand screaming, Hot dogs 1 Cold Pop! Ardie has filed her will: To Lyle Huddleston, I will my voice—with a masculine touch. To Mary Manning goes my good times and my ability to get around. To Betty Tilley goes ray radio experience and to Ginny Ryan my dancing ability. To the new cheerleaders goes ny experience of four years and to all the lonely gals go my old flames. - ■ - - Arlene Stewart (Helen Hamilton) Yes, said Arlene when the ;enorter asked her how it felt to be a senior. It seems swell to be a senior, but it makes me feel sad to think my school days are over. 'Then asked about her activ- ities during her four years of high school she hesitated and then replied with a smile, Oh a few of them were: playing on the basket ball team and serv- ing on various committees. I was a AH member, assistant ad- vertising manager of the year book. Arlene recalled that Helen and she had served cocoa and doughnuts at ball games. Oh! what fun we had, though some of it was a military sec- ret! This interviewer followed her about her boudoir and ask- ed her this question. What she expected to do after being graduated? Well, as my plans arc rather indefinite I cannot sa.y for sure but I think I’ll go to Florida and take up ra- dio work. year. The P, T. A. sponsored this program and hired the senior girls,I’m sorry to say, to carry out the project. This took two periods. You can im- agine how our school work suf- fered ! On the average the food was not bad. At first it was fun, but after the third week, boy, did we ever get sick of +hir! It was a dreadful bother. No, peeling potatoes for a mill a day was not so much fun as we thought at first. We were ve- ry glad when the last week of our work came. Ten years from now just tune in to XWU and hear the most famous child adviser in Ameri- ca, Arlene Stewart! ’.Then asked about her most remembered project she answer- ed with a laugh, The hot lunch program wo did in our senior Verna Kings ton (Ardis Wicks) Oh, boy, said Verna when asked how it seemed to be a senior, I would not miss it for anything;it's a swell year and a busy one. ’Then asked what her class activities had been, she replied, Cheerlead- er; class officer during first three years; treasurer of the Senior Class;co-cancy manager; editor of the PACEMAKER;treas- urer of Athletic Council, for freshman year; president of Athletic Council, senior year'.' Then she continued, I sang in glee club; played the part of Mrs. Hudson in the senior play and was chosen by the class and teachers to write the es- say for D. A. R. and I an the Valedictorian. Verna said that ten years fron now according to the law of averages, she’d be married. But between now and then she would like to work either for the telephone company or in a newspaper office pounding a typewriter. The high light of the year that Verna recalled was the senior play. I remember the difficulties that Mrs. Keeler had when the parts weren't learned, and when the refresh- ments were missing; how Philip hated to .acquire gn.y hair by the use of powder puff! I re- c .11 ho tine when Lyle and I weye on the stage, talking to Raymond who was still behind the curtain and the improvis- ing we did; the time the furn- iture arrived; (it was later given to the school as a tok- en of appreciation). I also recall the surprise of the class when we learned, that a profit of $63 had been made! ’Then asked what she would like to will to the pupils of the Theresa High School she said: My figure in slacks and sweater to Geraldine Vfalsh; rry long distance telephone call to Eleanor Vock; an imitation of my fraternity pin to Flor- ence Shannon; my long finger nails to Barbara Griffin; my typing tactics to Raymond Bar- tlett and Glen Decker; my ac- robatics to 3har3.es Stewart. Yes, I've certainly enjoyed my senior yc ir! VALEDICTORY Parents, teachers, friends: The Class of 1943, in expressing to you its apprecia- tion of your attending its graduation, realizes that your presence here tonight indicates your interest in the members of this class. We sincerely thank our tea- chers for their guidance through the years of our high school course, and we hope that we have completed our parents' proudest expectations. Classmates, remember, Man's mettle is tested in adversity and in success. May you have the highest grades in both. Being graduated this evening represents to us the ac- complishment of the tasks set for us, the gaining of another base in the game of life. It is a victory that seems important to us at the present moment, but how insignificant it is compared to that victory about which freedom-loving persons are thinking'. V stands for that victor}'. Throughout the world, written in Am- erican factories, painted on English fences, pictured in Canadian homes, and discussed at the Russian battle- front, will be found the famous V in Morse code: dot, dot, dot, dash. With this symbol of liberty burns a constant desire for an allied peace which will insure to us, secure homes, the right to govern ourselves, freedom from want and fear, and the many privileges of free men. It seems strange that such a small thing as a V can have the power to cement the bonds between great count- ries, to keep them fighting for a common cause, but dot dot, dot, dash has become a language unusually spoken. As R. A. F. and American bombers roar over France, Hol- land, and those other countries suffering from Hitler's heel, in thousands of homes begins that defiant sound: dot, dot, dot, dash. It grows, swelling and flooding until the world is immersed in the surging waves of dot dot, dot, dash. On the battle front and on the home front, a silent, tense greeting passes among friends •and allies— V for victory. America must help win this victory and tonight the Class of 1 9 A 3 is proud to march out into the world tuned to the thrilling song, V Stands for Victorvi An Interview with the Senior Adviser i Oh, I’m a regular bulletin board, laughed Mrs. Keeler when this reporter asked her to give some news of the sen- ior class of which she has been the adviser for six years Seriously, I'm pleased at the opportunity to give the Class of 1 9 A 3 some well deserved praise, she continued. They have been such loyal workers and have cooperated in such fine style that I never have had a more pleasant nor cap- able group to advise. Mrs. Keeler commented that, as she read over the history of the class, she was surpris- ed at the work accomplished, the funds raised; that she was pleased that never had there been in the six years an in- stant when anyone of the Class of 19A3 was in danger of not graduating. The entire c]Ass was certified in September. When asked to tell about the activities of the class, she said she would'prefer to con- fine her comments to the con- ing commencement events. The program is a departure from the usual one in some ways, she declared. The activities will start for the seniors on Saturday night, June 19, when the seniors will present three one-act plays as their class- night program. The first one will be Orville's Big Date. It is a comedy in which Or- ville (Phil Shurtleff) will try to borrow money from his three sisters, Beatrice, Vivi- an and Ethel, to finance a fishing trip. The sisters will be played by Ardis, Verna, and Helen. Failing to borrow the money, Orville makes a date with a nice girl approved by his sisters. Ho plans to sell the date to the highest bidder among his gang, but the best laid schemes —(you know). His sisters learn about the date -and procede to plan Orville's adornment for the momentous occasion. One sister manicures his nails while the others work on Orville's unruly hair. Ihey measure him for a new, suit—and when they have him all set for his date—he has sold it and sneaks off on his fishing trip. The comedy is brilliant and well acted. The second play is a patri- otic number, The Ladies Dis- cover America. The cast: Mrs. Lloyd....Marguerite Patty..............Helen Charlotte........Barbara Corinne............Verna Julia.............Arlene Leila..............Ardis Mrs. Lloyd and Charlotte are anxious to interest the ladies in war work but the ladies are socially uinled. They talk of Interview (Continued; ►'I hoarding vogetables and silk stockings. They arc willing to do war work if the uniforms are becoming and if they can find the tine, but card clubs and various entertainments are so necessary to the morale of the nation. Even, Patty, Mrs. Lloyd's grandchild wants to buy hair bows. The way Mrs. Lloyd succeeds in shaming the ladies into real interest and honest activity is decidely novel. Mrs Keeler stopped. How does she do it? this reporter asked. That would be telling! Well just a hint. False teeth! The third play, she con- tinuer!, is entitled Minerva Sets the Stage. In this play Minerva (Verna) is the fastid- ious sister of Grace a college flapper (Ardis). Their mother is played by B arbara and Helen plays Granny. Llinervu is set- ting the stage for a new beau (Phil) and her mother has stew with onions that night! Two neighbors (nrleno and Marguer- ite) arrive to occupy the liv- ing room. Granny sleeps in her chair and her conversation never gets beyond 7,hen I was a girl------ Minerva burr.ss incense to mitigate the smell of onions, relegates Granny to tiie book room and shews away the neighbors but her friend doesn't show up! She puts on her old clothes and tears red- den her eyes—family returns to normal and the Sucw—and Agustops arrives. But Aguntour likes onions and admires. ; real hone girl and Mina-', a's lack of stage setting turns out for tne cost, I think, added ;Irs. Keeler | that this type f class night program will please the towns- people and surely the seniors are enjoying it. Then for conmencer.ent n.ijht the hi ;h school will pre sent a patriotic pageant entitled,- All Clear. The seniors will be the commentators on the pa- geant. The senior chorus will sing Hats Off of MacArthur and the Boys Down There, also V for Victory and ’Then the Lights Come on Again. 'The pageant depicts the liv- ing room of the Brown family as they arc happily spending an evening. An alert sounds. During the blackout, the Spir- it f America gives assurance that America will win the war because America can sing; Am- erica can save; America can buy bonds; America can fight! ’Jhen the lights cone on again the seniors will receive their diplomas and accept the responsibility of taking up their work in the world. The pageant, concluded !!ra Keeler, s up-to-date and should be a beautiful gradua- | tiorn for the Class of 1943. £ 9a • 9a t 3 ELEVENTH YE.Jl Ira Want Ads Wanted: A romance made to or- der.

The boys '.fere hesitant about naming the best all-round play- er but finally agreed that it was Stub Decker who would fill the bill. When asked whnt positions they played, the response was that Simons played center, with Ray, Sonny, Derby, Bill, the guards and Si, Glen, Stub and Jimmy the forwards. The Redwood games seemed to stand out in their ninds as the queerest. ganes because Redwood won by only two points on Theresa’s hone court. The prospects next year are bright, agreed the boys. A large number of speed” players are entering high school next fall. If they’d only grow, we would get somewhere. Hr. Kessler remarked that the boys had worked hard and had been good sportsmen and he looked forward to better luck next year. The THS basketball team when interviewed individually cert- ainly agreed on one point: all were eager to assert that Mr. Kessler had worked hard and had ably taken the place of Coach Houston. They were re- luctant to discuss the scores of the ganes and commented in various ways about their fail- ures In winning. Said Sonny Young, I remem- ber, for instance the game at Antwerp. Everyone of them was far more experienced than our team and every one was bigger!' Yes, agreed Glendon Decker couldn't get the bail off the backboard. Ue lacked the neighth. Sometimes we just didn’t click,'' went on Ray, but most of the tine it was our size. To this Jimmy and Bill nod- ded their heads, and commented that they were both new comers to the squad. The athletic Council had a banquet in March. The members and a few guests attended. The guests were: Reverend Pu- nett. Reverend Worden, and Mr. Morrison. Each of these gentlemen contributed to the program with short speeches.
