The irksome tasks all seem more light As now we think of leaving, And we can see more clearly now The pattern we’ve been weaving. Although we’ve had our share of fun We’ve done much more than playing, For we’ve accomplished deeds of note, Our debt to High School paying. To those who have to till the place From which we are proceeding, We give this admonition: “Strive To follow where we’re leading.” Senior Class Officers President, Warren Collins Vice President, Doris Hammersley Secretary, George Parker Treasurer, Grace Hardee Adviser, Miss Evelyn Woelfle Thelma Bourgeois Jolly Girls Club 2; Secretary of Home Economics Club 4; Basketball 1. “Some think the world is made for fun and frolic and so do 1.” Robert Boyle Orchestra ’31, ’32; Latin Club ’30; French Club ’32; Soccer ’32. “He thinks too much Such men are dangerous.” Aurore Clement Basketball Captain 1; Soccer Captain 2; Vice President of Jolly Girls Club 2.

In initiation we were made to feel the superiority of the sophomores but, being courageous freshmen we were able to withstand these hardships, thus being accepted as real members of the student body. We immediately formed a class and elected Joseph Willetts for our president, while Miss Agnes Mahony became our advisor. November—In this month we made our first attempt to prove our talents bv presenting the Musical Comedy “Kathleen”. It was a huge success and part of the credit goes to our sister class of 1930 who assisted us in this exploit. December—This month brought Christmas time which always means parties and vacation, both of which were graciously welcomed by us. June—This month came along very quickly with it the dreaded regents examinations. However, the first step in our high school career was completed. Sophomore Year September—We returned to resume our studies again, and ready to make the incoming freshmen bow to us as we had done the previous year to our predecessors. As our first year had been so successful, we reelected the same colleagues to lead us onward and upward once more. October—This month we felt the desire to further prove our dramatic ability and therefore combined with the Class of 1930 gave “That’s That”. The large sum of money obtained from this musical revue was put in our Washington fund which was rapidly increasing. December—Christmas time already. We enjoyed a lovely party during which we were entertained by several members of our class. May—Being a very ambitious class, we decided to give another performance this year. This time it was in the form of a Minstrel Show. We asked the Class of 193 l to join us in this endeavor which they did. The production was under the supervision of Miss Helen De Freest, advisor of the Class of ’31, and Miss Agnes Mahony. June—The end of another year and our school days half over. However, we were glad to no longer be considered as mere children to be scorned by upperclassmen. FOR DIA N Junior Year September—On our return to school, after a wonderful vacation, we were greeted with the sad news that the Washington Club was to be abolished in the Waterford High School. Nevertheless after much deliberation and discussion we decided to continue our Club. We elected Mabel Perkins president and it was at her home that we gathered every week to hold our meetings and make plans to carry- out our ambition. November—Our first plan was to present another musical comedy as these had always been very popular with the townspeople as well as the students. This time was no exception as “Patty” proved to be very entertaining and a capacity crowd filled the auditorium both nights. December—At Christmas the Senior Class acted as host to the Senior High School. We all had a good time at this party which included a grab bag and a matinee dance. February—Much to our sorrow we came to the conclusion that it was impossible to continue the Washington Club. Lack of Co- operation in carrying out our plans and insufficient funds were the reasons. Therefore it was with deep regret that we disbanded. May—In order to keep up the custom of giving the graduating class a dance we held a food sale for the purpose of financing this undertaking. June—The Junior Prom was held June 12. with Mary Kidwell m charge. It was a colorful affair and there was a large crowd in attendance. Thus it was that we finished an eventful third year. Senior Year September—Back to school again. This time to be recognized as dignified seniors. We quickly formed a class and held an election with Warren Collins receiving the honor of president. Miss Evelvn Woelfle, a new member of the faculty, was chosen for our advisor. November—This month we decided to try something that had nevei before been attempted in this high school. It was the publish- mg ot a year book. Miss Margaret Furlong, who was experienced in this work, offered to assist us in any way possible. o December I his Christmas we held a party in the Homemaking Room. I he quartet rendered several songs and everyone thoroughly K OK1JIAN enjoyed himself. We also gave a crate of oranges to the less fortunate in this village. January—Very soon after Christmas vacation we found our- selves in the midst of regents examinations. Many new members entered the class which necessitated our moving into a larger room. March—Work actually began on the year book. Joseph Willetts was elected Editor-in-Chief to be assisted by Doris Hammersley. There was a contest for the naming of the book and the winner re- ceived a prize. We gave a benefit game, Waterford Varsity vs. Water- ford Alumni and the proceeds went toward the year book. Candy was sold in the senior room. April—We held a very successful card party and dance and work on our year book progressed rapidly. May—The Junior Prom was held May 6 to which the seniors were invited. All those who attended had a good time. June—The final step in our high school will be June regents ending our days in W. H. S. Our last social event will be the Senior Ball. This, we know, will be an event worthy of the Class of ’32 and one of the happiest memories of Waterford High School. PO R 1 I A N CLASS PROPHECY Turner Summoned to White House for Conference New developments in the plans for increasing the gold supply of the nation were negotiated today between the President and Mr. Gordon Turner, well known international banker. It was revealed today that the plans were to be similar to those negotiated by J. P. Morgan and President Cleveland in 1895, at which time Mr. Morgan was considered as Mr. Turner is today, the most powerful financial figure in America. Yanks to Play Tigars in Championship Game for American League Two teams have come down the stretch in the American League and today it is expected that the Yankees will gain the top rung of the ladder with a victory over the Tigers. The reason for this state- ment may be summed up in a few words when it is understood that King, phenomenal hurler, and Willets the great backstop will be the battery for the Yanks. King has mowed down batters in the American League relentlessly and Willetts’ pegs to bases are at times little short of miracles. Colonel Collins made the following statement this morn- ing: “1 consider the price paid for these boys, two hundred thousand dollars, a trivial sum for they are actually worth their weight in gold”. The six day bicycle race ending last evening at the Veledrome m New ork City, was won by Don Mebbs, Shell Oil Co. representa- tive. Don stated that he tirst learned to ride in Waterford, N. Y. John Drake, known to the world as the “king of toothpick manu- facturers”, arrived last night in the U. S. A. after a trip to Europe. He was aboard the S. S. Majestic. Miss Thelma Bourgeous, holding the title of “Miss Universe”, has entered the moving pictures. The premiere opening of her first picture will take place in about six months. Tomorrow evening at Carnegie Hall the piano trio, Misses Doris Hammersley and Dorothy Hemstead and Mr. Ignace Paderwski, known throughout the world as the “finger marvels” will again unite their eftorts to entertain suffering humanity. Maurice Larkins, newest motion picture “find”, will make his lust public appearance with his leading lady Miss Edna Weber, who gave such a sterling performance in Maurice’s last picture, “The Sin of the Fathers”. b' O R D I A N Quandt and Jackson, Funeral Directors—We cheerfully bury you for practically nothing. The United States Soccer Team, led by “Bub” Flynn, stellar center forward, and Captain Fred Weir, defeated the British I earn in an international match in London yesterday. Oscar Fodder, goalie, proved himself a tower of strength on the defense and saved goal after goal by his miraculous stops. It was announced after the game by “General” Schofield, manager of the American Team, that they will next play the Czechoslovakian Team in Paris. ROXY’S—On All This Week—The Famous Singer Midgets. Included in this group are Mabel Perkins, Jessica Velie and Robert Stark, known from coast to coast. Miss Flora Hamilton, professor of chemistry at Vassar College, has just received the Nobel Prize for several hygienic discoveries which have revolutionized the preparation of food in the canning industry. Miss Hamilton disclaimed all credit when interviewed yesterday, stat- ing that Miss Aurore Clement, assistant to her, is, in reality, the one who made the discoveries. There will be a broadcast of the Philadelphia Symphony Orchestra this evening over the N.B.C. hook-up. The orchestra will be led as usual by Leopold Stowkoski. Miss Grace Hardee will render a guitar solo. Albert Wells and George Parker will give a trumpet duet. This is the feature program of the week. Barnum and Ba'ley’s Circus Opened in Madison Square Garden Barnum and Bailey’s Circus opened today in the Garden. All the acts were about as usual with the exception of the Gimmelli Sisters, Catharine and Carmel. They give an aerial act which is the most thrill- ing ever presented by either sex and carry it on without the aid of a net. Well, the old saying is “more fun more people killed”. Polar Expedition Lost The polar expedition led by the fearless Neison Costello and his brave little wife Mrs. Betty Cummings Costello was believed to be lost in the vast Antartic Continent. The last wireless report received from them stated they were within a radius of 150 miles of the Pole. Miss Monica Guira’s Recipas Acclaimad Throughout tha Land Miss Monica Guire, who is noted for her recipes for salads, yester- day was given a gold medal by housewives throughout the land who have used her recipes to their own great advantage and delight.

Woelfle EDITORIALS Venture We are all familiar with such flamingly inspiring expressions as “courageous youth ventures unabashed into foreign fields” and “high- handed youth balks at nothing”—so finally the youth of Waterford High School has become sufficiently “courageous and high-handed” to undertake the great responsibility of editing their first year book. Perhaps this project seems rather too tremendous and all important to be founded on such a flimsy structure—the desire to quest into the unknown—but we ask you, where and what would we be at this moment if Columbus, Erickson, Cabot, and many others had not experienced this feeling? To those more practical souls who look for concrete reasons we tell this: the spirit of questing and excelling has so pervaded the school lately that it seems only proper to “finish off ” a champion year with a champion year book. We hope that in the eves of others our book has come up to highest expectations; and in turn we sincerely hope that succeeding editions will fully credit the fondest dreams of their aspiring staff. Joseph Willetts. FORDIA N School Spirit Much has been written concerning “school spirit”. All sides of this topic have been presented at some time or other. Nevertheless, though one may tire of the subject, it is always necessary to stimulate and encourage school spirit. The words “showing school spirit” immediately conjure up thoughts of attending school games and cheering lustily for one’s team. This is one way of evidencing school spirit. Support by the student body is invaluable to the athletic representatives of the school. However, courtesy to the school’s opponents is just as much a factor in school spirit as attendance, because it secures for the school a good reputation in other circles. Many people make the mistake of applying school spirit only to attendance in athletic contests. However, this is but one conception of the real meaning of school spirit. The maintenance by the pupils of a high scholastic standard is just as important a way of supporting one’s school. The reputation of a school depends on the general conduct of the students. Upon their behaviour in school and out rests the prestige of the school. In fine, school spirit is the desire of the students to improve their Alma Mater in every possible way. This wish must be fostered and cherished by the pupils, and must so dominate their conduct as to bring great glory to their school. . .. . J Dons Hammerslev. Congratulations We are rather distracted from our hereditary and traditional business of shedding tears over the departing Seniors this year. A note of anxiety has crept into our laments, for (we must confess it) we are developing a bad case of hysteria and all because our worthy predecessors were ingenious enough to start a brand new project in Waterford High School. You see, it’s like this—people are always tolerant of things which are in their infancy, so no matter how perfect the 1932 edition is, the 1933 edition will be expected to be twice as perfect—an appallingly tremendous proposition! Don’t you understand our hysteria and sympathize with us? But no matter how hysterical we may be, we can not but help grabbing for the smelling salts and buoying ourselves up long enough to congratulate the Seniors on their enterprising spirit and to offer up a fervent prayer that our book will be half as successful as theirs! Jane McGrievey. FO R 1) I A N A Li U M N I N OT B8 1876 — 1932 Then and Now On a beautiful June afternoon, in the Year of Our Lord, 1876, the graduating exercises of the Waterford High School were held. The auditorium of the old Town Hall of Waterford was the scene of this memorable event. Our High School was the building later used as a factory bv the Ormsby Textile Company. The number of graduates was next to nothing. It almost reached the vanishing point. The sum total was one graduate. 1 happened to be that one. 1 was the saluta- torian, the valedictorian, the middle man, end man and bones. The Principal of the High School was Prof. E. E. Ashley, the Vice Principal was Miss Abby M. Clark. There is no trouble at all in having a full attendance whenever the Class of 1876 wishes to have a reunion, li can be held any time, at any place, and under any circumstances. In the days around 1876, the pupils of the Waterford High School enjoyed skating during the winter months on the Hudson River, the Cemetery Pond, or the Champlain Canal. Night after night the Division Street hill was alive with boys and girls enjoying coasting and walking up the hill for the fleeting pleasure of riding down again. In the summer months we enjoyed outing and picnic parties on the Hudson River, on Peebles Island and at Lansing’s Grove. In those days there were no moving picture shows and the radio (that 2()th century wonder) wasn’t even dreamed of. There were no automobiles in existence and when we wished to pay a visit to Cohoes we either walked or rode on Cook’s Stage. The rails had not yet been laid for the trolley line connecting Waterford and Cohoes. For intellectual exercises we had spelling matches with Cohoes. These spelling matches drew big crowds, completely tilling the auditorium of the Waterford Town Hall when the contest was in Waterford, and when the contest was in Cohoes the Cohoes Opera House was crowded to F O K D I A N the doors. The Waterford umpire was Rev. R. P. H. Vail, Pastor of the Presbyterian Church and the Cohoes umpire was Murray Hubbard, Cashier of the National Bank of that city. Cohoes was a little too much for us, but we put up a good fight and we gave Cohoes a hard and close contest whenever we came together, the following are a few samples of the words we were asked to spell: Cautchous, Syzygy, Analogous, Geneiss, Lencocythemia, Icicle, Initiatory, Heterogeneous, Unparalleled, Xylophone, Polysyllabic, Youghiogheny. Some time ago I came across the following lines: “The man who has a thing to sell and goes and whispers down a well is not likely to collar the dollars as the man who climbs a tree and hollers’’. It pays to to advertise and so when opportunity presents itself 1 never fail to advertise the Waterford High School', which in my humble opinion stands at the top of the High Schools of this section of the country. In fact the Waterford High School is in a class by itself. In our con- test with Cohoes one of Waterford’s best spellers was Miss Katie Martin, one of the teachers of Waterford High School. The Class of 1876 wishes to extend its congratulations, felicitations and best wishes to the Class of 1932 and to every other Class from 1876 to 1932. Class of 1876, Stephen V. Lewis. THE LOVELINESS OF WHITE THINGS The loveliness of white things is tearing at my heart And words are only gray things, yet what but words have I To tell the dawn-white wonder of mists upon the mountains The silver white of surf spray that crashing seas fling high. And how shall words run swiftly enough to glimpse the splendor Of winged white hopes that youth sees and follows to the end? The magic white of moonbeams on roses in a garden How shall words walk wisely enough to comprehend? The loveliness of white things is tearing at my heart And words are only gray things and words have dragging feet How shall words move softly enough to keep from breaking The still while hush of snowfall along a sleeping street?

Albany KOKDIAN SOCCER The Waterford High School soccer eleven completed one of its most successful seasons this fall when they were crowned the Cham- pions of the North Eastern Public School Soccer L.eague. This year the Fordians upset all dope by defeating the Burgh in the race for first place. Lansingburgh had previously held the title for the past four years but always had been given a good race by the Fordians who finished in the runners up position for the same number of years. Waterford opened the season under the leadership of Frederick Morris, newly appointed coach, and presented him with a wealth of material. Waterford had an exceptionally large and experienced team to start and throughout the league play were given but one setback, that being by Rensselaer at the latter’s field. Waterford tied once against Lansingburgh and defeated the strongest team, other than Waterford, Draper High School of Schenectady. The league this year had some of the strongest opposition in the district. At the start of the season Morris appointed Robert King manager of the team, and the team elected Joseph Willetts captain for the third successive year. With a veteran backfield and line the high school started off strong by winning the first four contests, but in their fifth attempt were defeated. The rest of the season passed and toward the end with the last game to he played between Waterford and Lansingburgh the standing was in such a position that if Waterford tied the team they would be crowned champions. The end of the game between these schools end- ed iii a 1 to l tie. Harry Jackson proved to be the hero of that game b.v sinking Waterford’s only goal from the penalty stripe. The boys who received letters at the athletic banquet were: Frank Dunn, Joseph Willetts, Warren Collins, Casimur Gula, Norman Douttiel, Thaddeus Bartnick, Leeson Flvnn, Anthony Catallo, Harry Jackson, Martin McGarry, Carl Sorenson, John Drake, Albert Shuluski, Gardner McGrievey, Robert Boyle, Stanley Michewicz, Albert Pallozzi, James Costello, John Strain, and Robert King. KORDI A X BASKETBALL Waterford High School basketball quintet had one of the most successful seasons ever witnessed at the high school this year when they not only won their league, the North Eastern New York Minor League, but also defeated Lansingburgh, winners of the major league, for the sectional championship. Although the team lost the Eastern New York Championship to Gloversville at R. P. I. it showed the mak- ings of champions and was the first Waterford team which has ever gained the semi-finals in state play. The record of the high school team this year was eighteen victories and eight defeats, a formidable record for any high school team. Although they did not defeat their rivals, Cohoes, they established a record by beating Lansingburgh twice by 20 point scores. This year the high school team was greatly strengthened when Maurice Larkin, later elected captain, entered school to fill the vacant center position. Much credit for the champion- ship is also to be given to Coach Fred Morris who trained his forces into playing condition. They went through the minor league being beaten hut once, that time by Ballston Spa, coached by Stanley Davies, Waterford’s former coach. Waterford outscored their opponents by about one hundred points. Warren Collins led the scorers with 159 points. Included among the Waterford victories were wins over Hoosick Falls, Troy Country Day, Burnt Hills, Ballston Spa, Still- water, Vocational of Schenectady, Keveny Academy and Lansing- burgh. The boys who will receive letters for this year’s work in the sport are: Captain Maurice Larkins, Joseph Willetts, Warren Collins, Frank Dunn, Gerald Schofield, Leonard Johnson, Anthony Catallo, and Manager Arthur Carmel. V ) R 1 I A N BASEBALL After winning the Soccer and Basketball Championships, the baseball team tempted fate by attempting to turn in another triumph. This year Waterford High School was in a league composed of l.ansingburgh, Watervliet and Cohoes. Although Waterford did not have the same quality material which represented her in Soccer and Basketball, Coach “Fred” Morris suc- ceeded in rounding out a successful team. Waterford High School started off her season by defeating l.ansingburgh 8- 7. The race for the championship was particularly keen as each team had suffered defeat at the hands of the other. In a later game Waterford was defeated by Lansingburgh when their star “Bill” Cunningham pitched a no hit game, but came back to defeat Cohoes 13-4 and Watervliet in the final playoff to cop the champion- ship by 5 - 3. Besides the league games the team played Troy, Catholic Central High School, and Castleton. The team was composed of Joseph Willetts, Maurice Larkin, Leonard Johnson, Warren Collins, Leo Bessette, William Bernardo, Anthony Catallo, John Diviny, Lawrence Currier, Armando DePalma, Thaddeus Bartnick, Robert King, Nelson Costello, Anthony Drombny, Casmir Gula, and Harry Jackson, Manager. This year Waterford had a Junior Varsity composed of candi- dates who will probably be the Varsity team next year. F O R D I A N EXCHANGES Catholican Year Book—Catholic Central High School A very interesting and well compiled book. The columns entitled “Try These On Your Radio” and “Things Seniors Don’t Understand” were novel and amusing even to strangers. The class poem also de- serves a great deal of credit. Odyssey Year Book—Lansingburgh High School The poems concerning the class presents are exceptionally good. Little though we like to give credit to our rivals, Lansingburgh High School is to be commended on the success and accomplishments of its various organizations. Spectator—Watervliet High School—School Paper for March The “Senior Roll Call” is clever as well as original. We partic- ularly enjoyed the Literary section. The Clippings—Troy Business College (March) A real paper by and for the students of Troy Business College. However we enjoy the jokes and quite agree with you on the article “School Spirit”. Garnet and Gray—School Paper—Stillwater High School (March) Most interesting of school papers. We would like to see more of these. It is an excellent outlet for student opinion and activities. What is the secret of success? “Push”, said the button. “Take pains”, said the window. “Always keep cool”, said the ice. “Be up to date”, said the calendar. “Never lose your head”, said the barrel. “Make light of everything”, said the lire. “Do a driving business”, said the hammer. “Aspire to greater things”, said the nutmeg. “Hind a good thing and stick to it”, said the glue. —Odyssey.
