Page 28 THE HI-ROCK Alumni iiotrs In the first and second issues of our school paper, the HI-ROCK. I summarized what the class of 1942 and 1941 were doing or had been doing since they left school. Joseph Armer, a member of the class of 1942, was the only one in the armed forces when the first issue was printed. Now there are two other boys from the same class who have joined, Thomas Har rington and Richard May. Every girl from this class had worked except Lorraine Perry but now she is working in Schenectady. When the second issue went to press, there were three boys of the class of 41 who had joined up with Uncle Sam. Daniel Hewitt, Walter Grinnell and James Alger. Since that time Arthur Stone and Kenneth Johnson have been called. All the girls from this class are either working in offices, married or going to college. To make the last issue of our school poper for this semester a little more interesting and more complete. I’ve de- cided to give the name of each student from the class of 1940, their address and a little paragraph telling what has been occupying their time for the last three years. Jasmine Hull Ithaca College Ithaca. New York Valedictorian and most valuable student of the class of 1940—now studying to become a music teacher. Jasmine, we all know you will be a success, as we have heard you sing as well as play. We wish you the best of luck. Doris Reynolds Middleton 5 Commercial Avenue Warrensburg. New York Salutatorian—now the mother of a few weeks old baby girl, named Karen Lynn. She was married the following Jan- uary after graduation. We know you will make a good mother, os you were a strong hold in your class. Eleanor Pratt Samaritan Hospital Troy, New York The only girl of her class to take a post-graduate course —now a member of the student nursing class which graduates in 1945. Emily Reynolds Hudson City Hospital Hudson, New York Has been in training for two years. Emily, when you graduate, we all know you will prove to be one of the best nurses. We felt sure of this because of your successful high school career. Ruby Russell Thurman. New York A very bashful homelike girl. Since graduation she has been working part of the time in the Warrensburg Shirt Fac- tory. To you, Ruby, the best of wishes and we hope you always keep the home fires burning. Marian Huntington Plattsburg State Teachers College Plattsburg, New York Was at Potsdam one year, then transferred to Platts- burg where she is taking a course in Home Economics. We wonder, Marian—is it for teaching or-—for Ken? Pvt. Arnold Hayes Service Btry. 307th F. A. Bn. A. P. O. No. 78 Camp Butner, North Carolina Has been with the forces for about three months.

THE HI-ROCK Page 27 SINCE HITLER MARCHED INTO POLAND Chamberlain said, I'm Bidin' My Time. Hitler looked at Poland thought Embraceable You. He marched; for Chamberlain it was My Future Just Passed. Italy, Between the Devil and the Deep Blue Sea, chose the devil. Out of Nowhere came Churchill. Night and Day English fac- tories hummed. But at Dunkerque it looked like The Last Round-up. However, Roosevelt told Churchill, Everything I've Sot Be- longs to You. Our statesman went Flying Down to Rio.” The theme was Let's Fall in Love —and it was Pan American solidarity. Hitler gazed at other countries and sighed, After All, You re All I’m After. Mussolini cried, Don t Blame Me. Stalin's suddenly broken pact made the world murmur, You re An Old Smoothie. Stalin said, We ll Rise n Shine. England and Russia were Alone Together. Japan's agents pleaded peace with It's Fun to Be Fooled, Without a Word of Warning; Pearl Harbor and The Moon was Yellow. F. D. R. s declaration of war was the signal to Stand Up and Cheer. Americans told him, You're the Tops and The Object of My Affection. Isolationists yelled. No, No, a Thousand Times No. Roosevelt answered. I'm Shooting High and the Axis is Building Up to An Awful Letdown. Wake Island defiantly sang, Who's Afraid of the Big Bad Wolf. Midway—and the Japs Got the Jitters. The tide turned in the Solomons and armchair generals chorused, You Didn't Have to Tell Me. I Knew it All the Time. Disaster in Russia and Hitler cried. You're Driving Me Crazy. News of Rommel's rout was a Cheerful Little Earful. The North African coup Overnight was the buzzer to Get Happy. Now Mussolini sadly observes, Why Was I Born? Hitler finds The Thrill Is Gone. Hirolito has Stormy Weather. The Allies, though, with Hands Across the Table, once more feel Life Is a Song and will continue Marching Along Together until the time When Johnny Comes March- ing Home.” (From Horace Heit’s Treasurer Chest) Sports When school started last fall, the two main activities in a sports line were bowling and physical education classes. Our former coach, Mr. Swan, had worked out a schedule so that each class had at least one period a week at the Recreation Field. The first thing each class had to do was learn many military terms. Each day approximately 20 minutes was devoted to games such as basketball, volley ball and many different kinds of races. When cold weather set in, our physi- cal training was abandoned but hope was not given up. It was expected that the new gym would be available but as the time passed, the whole matter was dropped, and now we are looking forward to being able to use the gym in September. Last fall our school was represented in the Bowling League by four teams: Warrensburg School Boys, Men’s Faculty Team, the Brain Twisters and the Odds 'n Ends. The Brain Twisters and the Odds n Ends made up of the women from the faculty. The Brain Twisters started out at the head of the women’s league but gradually dropped, coming out in second place. The Odds n Ends were not quite as successful but had fully as much fun. Due to the gas rationing, the men's league broke up and was reorganized again in January. When the teams were formed again, our two terms were scattered about leaving no team representing the school. Our winter sports were very few and far between in school this winter. Every one gave up skiing and skating and occupied the time with snowball fights. There were a few skating parties and a few sleighing parties but that was about all that was taken from this year’s snowy weather. When spring gradually arrived, chances of our having a baseball team looked quite slim. But as everyone knows. Mr. Gifford and Mr. Niles came to our rescue by giving up their time to train our team. The personnel of the team consists of 14 boys: Bob Venton, Bob Goodrich, Doug Wilsey, Karl Irish, Gene Kelly, Dnald Wallace, Dick Lewis, Ed Howe. Don Howe Vernon Barrett, Bob Knipe Ed Frye, Len Harrington and Don Brown. Bob Knipe has been doing very well as our pitcher. The games have been played with Horicon, Lake George. Lake Luzerne, Chestertown and Schroon Lake. Thus endeth our sports for this year, but next year in our new building, v e will have a much different story to tell. New Coach Raymond W. Miller, former coach of Alfred-Almond Central School, has been selected for our new coach. He is a graduate of Ithaca College and has taught six years at Alfred- Almond. During the period spent at Ifred-Almond, he turned out many winning basketball teams. Of course even if he coached winning teams there, that does not mean he will be able to do the same thing here. We must all keep in mind that our high school boys have had little practice and experience in the basketball field. The lower grade students have had no ex- perience at all. When Mr. Miller arrives here, we hope tha+ within one year he can at least bring us up above the middle of the league. I am sure that to have our basketball team im- prove. we all realize that it will take a great deal of coopera- tion and work. Next fall when basketball season starts let’s see all you boys out practicing to make our team stand out above the rest in the league. I know that every boy and girl in this school will be looking forward to the first basketball game next fall. On behalf of the students of Warrensburg Central School, I wish to extend our best wishes for success in the year to come, to our new coach, Mr. Miller. Josephine Aiken 44 DID YOU KNOW THAT— Six-A has trouble keeping their feet still when rehearsals are going on in Study Hall. Miss Roberts can play the piano. Not one Freshman is in our Band. The ceiling in the band room is too low for Mr. Niles when he is directing the Band. Miss Cassidy is an expert dancer. The pianos need tuning badly. Miss Brown can play the baritone, trombone, and trumpet, and she can manage the scale on the violin and piano. Miss Semerad can't. If you don’l want to be marked late or absent in Band, you should get pull with the attendance takers.
