Jforetuorb May this little book, in coming vears, guide you often through the pathways of pleasant memories and keep before vou always the hopes and the ideals of your high school days! Thus it will fulfill its destiny.

Every group has its own characteristics; and because of these characteristics, changes, even though they may be small, always occur. In this year’s annual, you will, therefore, find changes which I hope will both please and satisfy you, our subscribers. Progress is inevitable. This world has become civilized only because progress was made. Every field of work has grown because of progress. I. therefore, think that you will find that the changes in the 1935 Forpian really show that the Senior Class has made progress. The Senior Class wishes at this time to thank Miss Ranney, our principal, for the honest and faithful cooperation she has given us during our high school years. We also wish to thank the Board of PMucation and Mr. Roda for making it possible for us to acquire the education we have had, and also for allowing us the opportunity for learning cooperation, as we have in the publication of the Forpian. .

FORDL )t Mentors Through the years we’ve watched them, Study, strive, succeed; Patience and perseverance Were in the seniors’ creed. The creed will carry all through life. All obstacles defeat; If in a venture they might fail, That venture they’ll repeat. For four long years they’ve studied. To finally reach their goal; All doing well, each in the class, Alone and as a whole. The end is fast approaching, The end of high school years; Hut they will meet unflinching Each duty that appears. We watch them graduation day. And think. “It’s our turn next,” And on to worldly life they go, To lessons not in text. The Seniors! Luck he with them! And all success he theirs; May life be full of gladness, And free from many cares. D. Van Keuren, Class of ’36 FORDIAN Senior Class ©ffittrs Joseph Mazula . President Leslie Allen . .

Success! Eternal light! —Elizabeth Parker 1 £ Class JMstorp The ship, “Class of 1935, embarked on a clear September morn in 1931. propelled by timid, frightened and bewildered Freshmen. The Captain explained to the crew that the Voyage of High School Life was to be over four seas; namely; Freshman, Sophomore, Junior, and Senior Sea; it would take one year to cross each body of water. During the first year of our journey, we were too terrified to venture far from our course of study. Most of us, however, survived Freshman Sea. By the time the second year of our voyage started, we had grown more accustomed to our staterooms and our fellow passengers. Because of unfavorable weather conditions, we had only one social affair, a Christmas party, at which all had a good time. In the third year of our journey, we summoned up enough courage to venture from our course of study to give a Hallowe'en dance. The dance was enjoyed by all but was not very profitable for, us. We then made a second attempt by holding a food sale, which, thanks to the members of the crew, proved more successful than our dance. Being encouraged by this, we proceeded still farther into the Sea of School Activity by sponsoring an assembly program in charge of Lest a, the Magician. Since our pecuniary condition increased greatly through this activity, we decided to give the Seniors, who had started their Voyage a year before us, a Junior Prom. Our crew solemnly vowed that it would be the best Junior Prom ever held—and it proved to be just that. On the eve of the Junior Prom, the ship’s ballroom was decorated in hlue and white. A balloon dance was the special feature of the evening. We launched our ship over Senior Sea on a beautiful, autumnal day in 1934, with the great sum of eighteen dollars in our ship's hold. We were sailing toward our final port, Graduation. It was a wonderful voyage, and we accumulated many souvenirs of experience from every port that we passed. Among the many things which made this, our last journey, wonderful was the success of our movie benefit, our series of matinee dances, and the selling of candy on the ship’s deck. Many hardships arose which forced us a little off our course, hut because of the united efforts of the crew and our faithful Captain, the ship. “Class of 1935,” sails peacefully onward toward Graduation.

I see some of our dear Seniors as successes in pictures, on the radio, and in other fields of business. As I stupidly gaze into that far-away time, I see Mary Farrell and Robert Munro winning a beauty contest in our favorite haunt of all times, the Casino. “Just think,” the people whisper, “They were once blue ribbon winners in the Senior Class. As 1 gape still more, I see the three musketeers (Norma, Mabel, and Lois) still together. They must be as permanent as the novel of the same name by— 1 can't remember very well. I'm under Madame's spell too deeply. And now I notice Sue Crandall a coinin’ into town, to get the week’s supply of victuals. You may or may not know that Sue is seriously considering becoming a farmer to help Buddy with his gardening. Well, 1 see Sue has realized her ambition; she’s a farmer: accent, sunbonnet, muddy shoes, and all. “What’s this? Holy creeping cats! Down in the same old theatre Archie has just won a gold medal as Waterford's one and only midget. How did you do it, Albert? You might tell Myrtle your secret; so she can try for the medal next year. Who’s this—Gracie Allen? No, it's our own Helen Martin, the girl who always was good at saying witty things. Helen has made quite a name for herself in pictures. Good luck. Helen! I see Mickeiwicz playing on the Junior Varsity at State College. Keep it up, Mick. Some day you can come back and coach a team for your Alma Mater. And here we see June Vermilyea still talking. She’s the only woman announcer who can cover the football games and see all the passes. Talking in history class certainly helped her. Ray Currier and his brother “Cheer are still playing the guitar and sax. They have just won a gold medal and two nights’ engagement at the Casino in an amateur contest held in the Town Hall. Well! 1 see Fred Whiting has gained quite a reputation as a clairvoyant. Fred had lots of practice when he used to sit and look at Eleanor all history period. Hot-Cha! I see Carrol and Fanny have won the prizes (a corn cob pipe and a sunbonnet, in case you’re interested) for dancing the Irish Jig. Well, Carrol and Fanny were always good dancers. Some day they may go on the stage. Think of this, will you? Ruth Butler has just been appointed successor to Miss Ranney. Well, we all knew Ruth would succeed some day. I never could sleep sitting up. My vision is growing blank: in the clouds of oblivion, I see these words in blazing lights: “Success for the Class of ’35!” June Vermilyea Twenty Class Wiiii We, the Class of 1935, being about to pass out of this sphere of education, in full possession of a crammed mind, well trained memory, and almost super- human understanding, do make and publish this, our last will and testament, hereby revoking and making void all former wills or promises by us at any time heretofore made, or mayhap, carelessly spoken, one to another, as the thoughtless wish of an idle hour. Such estate as it has pleased the Fates and our own strong hands and brains to win for us, we do dispose of as follows: To the faculty members, we return with thanks the many red marks which they have so generously bestowed upon us during our four years in high school. To the Junior Class we leave merely this warning: “You must mend your ways if you ever expect to become as dignified Seniors as we have been.” To the Sophomores we bequeath our unusual ability to maintain a quiet home room. To the Freshmen is awarded our undaunted courage, which has been with us always during the last four years and has enabled us to complete our high school career unharmed. Special Bequests Sue Crandall wishes to leave her Buddy to any girl in the Junior Class who can get him. To Babe Bartnick we offer Carrol Anderson’s position as center on the Varsity Basketball Team. To Franklyn Vanderwerken is given “Willie Farrell's ability to be a general nuisance. June Vermilyea’s quiet nature is willingly bequeathed to Margaret Farrell. We leave to Billy O’Meara. John Haffey’s outstanding dancing ability. We declare that ten cents of our money shall be used for the purpose of buying a new pipe for James Brown. We bestow upon John Keene, Fred Whiting's incomprehensible ability to be tardy for school. One of Fannie May Anderson's many husbands is graciously handed down to Pauline Sober. Take good care of him, Pauline. Jane Hick's ability to “hold her man is left to Jane Clement. We hope you make good use of it, Jane. 1 FORDIAi ■ We leave to Frances Brookley, Nonna McCullen's histrionic talent, as shown in one of the school productions. To Ruth Metcalf we will Ruth Butler's title as most studious girl in Water- ford High School. To Claude and Eunice we leave all of Fred and Eleanor’s meeting places. We do not suggest, however, that they make such constant use of them. Robert Munro's car goes to Jack Murray; so that he. too, will be able to make a name for himself as an advertising manager. To Kay Button we leave Elizabeth Parker's merry giggle. The habit of giggling goes hand in hand with that of talking. The romantic inclination so well known in Henry Button, we bestow upon Charles Carpenter, with our best compliments. To some courageous students of Waterford High School we willingly leave our seats in the Chemistry Room. We hope they won’t lie too comfortable. We direct that a sufficient amount of our money be spent to buy a carton of “Scottie bracelets for Clifford Stanley, in order that he may win more basketball games and still let Vivian Turner keep hers. To the girls in the Junior Class we bequeath the veil” used in making the Fordian pictures. To the luckiest class in Waterford High School, we leave our cherished advisor, Miss Ballagh. Be sure to treat her well or else . . . !!! All the rest and residue of our property whatsoever and wheresoever, of what nature, kind and quality soever it may lie. and not herein disposed of (after paying our just debts and funeral expenses), we give and bequeath to our beloved Principal, for her use and benefit absolutely, and to be disposed of for the good of the coming classes as she may see fit. And we do hereby constitute and appoint one of the Jones l oys sole executor of this our last will and testament. In witness whereof we, the Class of 1935, have appointed and approved the undersigned: Pop-Eve, Whimpy, The Hamburghers Lois Stephens, Testator Tzi'cntx-scvcn ----------- FORDIAN Senior fetubeiit Council This year the Student Council started out with the intention of proving itself the true head of the student body. First a rigid monitor system was established and enforced. Next we endeavored to increase the attendance at the basketball games. This was done by the introduction of student season tickets. The Student Council then instituted two new departments, the Health Council, which did much toward protecting the health of the students, and the Safety Council, whose functionings undoubtedly lowered the percentage of small casualties in and around the school. Then came our most outstanding success,—a progressive game party, a new type of entertainment for Waterford High! This venture was a great success, both socially and financially. Last, but by no means least, may we express our gratitude to the student body for their adherence to rules, and to the faculty for their willing cooperation. OFFICERS John Haifev . William O’Meara .

This organization is made up of representatives elected from each of the Junior High classes. The Junior Council, as part of its work, sponsors twice yearly a Junior High Party, and the proceeds go into its treasury. This year the Council has bought clocks for all the Junior High rooms and is also sponsoring a health campaign. The council has been doing great work this year and gaining the confidence of the Junior High. We hope for a great future for the Junior Council. OFFICERS Miss Furlong . Eric Heggen .

We realized that the Seniors needed more money than we; so we tried to remain in the background as much as possible. In November, we sponsored a motion picture benefit through which our dreams of a Prom became nearly a reality. We have had regular meetings, and our treasurer has hounded” the class for dues. We were well represented in basketball and soccer. Two cheer leaders were chosen from our midst. Possibly, if this were written later in the year, our activities would be greater. Truthfully, we can say that we shall miss the Seniors.

Treasnrer “ Jent, Vici” “I came, 1 saw, I conquered.” The history of the Senior Class of 1935 is contained in these few words. “They came —into Waterford High in nineteen thirty-one as a group of inexperienced Freshmen. The same sense of awkwardness confronted them as any other first-year class had endured. Rut from these “inferior Freshmen,” a fine group of scholars and athletes have developed since “they came.” “They saw”—the difficulties which confronted them in adjusting themselves to high school life. They knew that the hard work was not too much for them, but weren’t they just a little afraid? Even if they were, they showed only courage and strength to face what “they saw.” “They conquered!” Finally, at the end of four years, which have probably held only happiness for them all, they have won! They have gained their first goal—graduation from high school. On this day they come, not with the pulsing beat of conqueror’s drums, but as true victors, modest and not aware of their real accomplishments. It is the task of their immediate successors, the Junior Class, to show them as a sterling example and to say—“they conquered!” R. Maron, Class of ’36 Thirty-three =r £5 opi)omore Classi The Sophomore Class, this year, has done much to strengthen the class and school spirit of the school. We had few benefits because we wished to let the Junior and Senior classes have the complete run of the school as far as money matters were concerned. We, the Class of '37. wish the Seniors of ’35 a whole-hearted and sincere farewell. We are certain you will all be successful in that world beyond these school house doors. Kay Button .

President, Boys’ Vice-President junior Mrs. Whitehurst: “On what day did Caesar conquer the most men ?” Sophomore: “On examination day.” Miss Millhouse: “What can you tell me of nitrates?’’ Pupil: “They’re somewhat cheaper than day rates. Miss Ballagh: “The cow was in the pasture. What mood?” Soph: “The cow. Class faux pas—To collect the fumes of sulfur, put a deacon over the end of a tube. Senior: “What are you trying out for next year?” Frosh: “The Sophomore Class. Mr. Tepedino: Now, if you have all that in your head, you have it all in a nutshell.” Freshman : “I don’t know.” Sophomore: “I am not prepared.” Junior: “I do not remember.” Senior: “I don’t believe I can add anything to what has been said.” FORD I AX ifrrslimrn Class The Freshman Class of the Waterford High School has not accomplished a great deal this year. At Christmas we gave four baskets of groceries to the needy. The class was divided into three groups; therefore, it didn’t work as a unit. Although we are the largest class in the high school, we have not accomplished such great things as we might have; but we look forward to greater things in the future. Edward Breen ....... President Joan Hammersley ...... Pice-President Dorothy Boff .... Secretary and Treasurer £5rabe 8 As yet, the eighth grade has not accomplished very much in school affairs. Next year, however, when we become Freshmen, we intend to make ourselves well known in class and school activities. We may not be so well known now; but in years to come we shall show that we are one of the finest and best classes ever assembled in Waterford High School. Stephen Martini . . President Kathleen Jackson . . Secretary Louis Benardo . Treasurer Miss Hem stead . . . . . Advisor Our class cooperated with the Junior Council by preparing a sketch Stunt Night. Baskets for the needy were filled at Christmas by our group. Valentine's Day we enjoyed a Valentine Box.

President Gerald Clement Pice-President Chauncetta Wondisford . Secretary Blanche Remington . Treasurer Mrs. Mildred Whitehurst Advisor FORDIAN ®rabe 7 Having just entered Waterford Junior High School, we have spent most of our time acquainting ourselves with its rules and regulations, its customs and traditions. However, in November, the class, under the supervision of Miss Margaret Furlong, paid a visit to the General Electric Works in Schenectady. In January, most of our group joined Junior High Clubs. We hope that next year we shall accomplish more in scholastic and extra-curricular activities. Christian Sorensen Joseph Wright Robert March and . Ned Smith . President Pice-President . Secretary . T rcasurer The 7A2 section of seventh grade organized and elected its officers on Wed- nesday, September 19th. Because of the large size of the class, very little has been done in the line of class activities. However, we did take part in the stunts offered on Stunt Night, and we did our share in filling Christmas baskets. So far, our life in Junior High School has been a very happy one, and if it is in our power, we shall keep it so. Daniel Paterniani • • . . President Bernard Kalinowski • • . Vice-President Harry Kirker . . . . . Trcasurer burning $3omt We stand at the crossroads; doubts fill our mind. Where shall we wander—what shall we find ? Two roads can we travel, but we cannot remain Fixed in one place; we must lose or must gain. Success lies on the road to the right. But failure lures many, with a very false sight. To live all their lives in the depths of despair When they should be living without any care. We hope that our class will go on to success, Always receiving the world’s fond caress Of living and enjoying for a long time to come A life of Prosperity, Contentment and Fun.

At our second meeting, Frances Brookley was elected President: Ruth Metcalf, Vice-President; Mabel Hodges, Secretary and Treasurer; and Myrtle Rolston, Reporter. We were very glad to welcome several new members and felt deeply the loss of the many old members from the Class of ’34. During Book Week we sponsored a Hobby Show and took charge of the Parent Teacher’s meeting, giving reviews from books on hobbies. We also joined the Senior Student Council in sponsoring a progressive game party. We have enjoyed many social affairs and are looking forward to improving the library in the near future. JDing J3ong The Ping Pong Club was reorganized this year electing the following officers: Raymond Currier ....... President Charles Carpenter ..... Secretary-Treasurer Mr. Merritt was chosen faculty advisor and supervised the tournaments and games that were held. tamp Club The personnel of the Stamp Club consists of students who are interested in the fascinating hohby of philately. The club has been an active group for two years, and we have been building our personal collections so that most of them are now in the advanced amateur stage. The significant name of our club is “The American Philatelic Enthusiasts’ Society.” We plan to enter a colorful and instructive exhibit in the school this May FORDIAN i fEfie Jitttispaper Club The Newspaper Club was one of the first of the High School Clubs to reorganize. With the third issue of “The School Crier. the students of W. II. S. were given a “Rotogravure Section and two extra pages for the same low price. All year we have “hounded merchants and even private citizens for ads. We seemed to be the favorites of the gods, because we were so successful. This unexpected prosperity went to our heads around Christmas time and we gave a party. At the “blowout” Miss Walsh, our advisor, was presented with a very handsome pen and pencil set. For weeks at a time we saw more of our advisor’s homeroom than ever before. This was due to the undivided attention she has given the club in trying to correct our articles. In February we made our National debut by joining The National Scholastic Press Association. This is an organ- ization through which a school (taper finds out how good it really is. With each issue of “The School Crier,” the staff tried to present to the students a new feature. Our very successful year was due to the splendid cooperation of the staff and excellent guidance of our advisor. STAFF OF “THE SCHOOL CRH R” John Keene Lois Stephens . John Murray . Robert Patton .

X5 Forty-six £lee Club This year, on account of the successful instruction of Miss Eleanor O'Brien, our Glee Club has been the source of entertainment at several assemblies, meetings and gatherings. The Glee Club has practiced two and three part music through the course of the semester while meeting at regular intervals throughout the week. Since this is an accredited course, the members of the club receive Regents credit from the State Department, a helpful step toward a successful four years of high school. Fortx-scve n cX £ rcfjestra Iliis year was a very successful one for the orchestra. We played in assem- blies and other school affairs. The school orchestra furnished the music for the recent production of The Tailor Made Man.” Regents’ credit is given to the orchestra members. There are two regular weekly rehearsals on Tuesday and Thursday afternoons, the sixth period. In the future, under the direction of Miss Eleanor O’Brien, we hope to do much more work. The members of the orchestra are: Burton Montgomery, James Brown. Mon- roe an Valkenburgh, Robert Perkins, Lawrence Currier, James Ryan, Rita Maron. Junior Cljorus; The Junior Chorus was started in October. There are about twenty-nine pupils in the group. Miss Baker is the director. They sang for the teachers' banquet at the Episcopal church in December. They also sang at an assembly for the Junior High School. During the first half of the year the chorus met on Tuesdays at 2:50 i . m. The second term the chorus met on Monday at 10:33 a. m. It has been successful and I hope it will continue to be for the rest of the term.

Although ineligibility and injuries weakened the team many times, they became the undefeated champions of their league. The students, who were chosen as members of the varsity, were as follows: Joseph Schofield, Carrol Anderson, William Fieper, Casmir Gula, Edward Kid- well. William Mickeiwicz, Stanley Grochmal, Zygment Bryk, Edward Bartnick and Thomas Despart. The record for the year was 16 victories and 5 losses. Soccer eam After a disastrous 1933 season, the W. H. S. Soccer Team made a spec- tacular comeback; and once more a championship team was representing us. X’early sixty candidates began working out under the watchful eyes of Morris, the captain, and the manager. A new system of training was introduced and proved very successful. This system included cross country, which helped to develop the stamina required in soccer. After several weeks of practice, the task of picking a squad became more difficult than expected, but finally, after much experimenting, the following were chosen: Captain, Casmir Gula, Manager. Leeson Flynn, Carl Sorenson, Charles Boyle, Carrol Anderson, Raymond Currier, Modesto Cicchinelli. Roger Busha, Morico Catallo, Harold Gibbs, Jack Douttiel, William Farrell. William Benardo, George McGarry, Joseph McGarry, and illiam Demings. Manager “Bub Flynn compiled one of the most difficult schedules ever had by a Waterford High Team. Troy and Lansingburgh returned to our schedule. A newcomer, the R. P. I. Frosh, was added. The team had great success, which is shown by the following scores: Games ■won, 7; Games lost, 6: Games tied. 4. Cross = Country ’34 Last fall Waterford High inaugurated its first season of Cross-Country running. With the aid of the members of the team. Coach Morris and Manager Ryan laid out and cleared a course which has been rated as the “toughest” in this section. On November 15th, cheered by Morris' famous last words, “Hurry back,” we started for the first time in a competitive meet on our home course. We defeated our rival. Cohoes High School, by the close score of 26-29. There- after, on our course we defeated Troy High, Burnt Hills, and Watervliet. The unusual interest displayed by students and faculty and their presence and support at all home meets was undoubtedly an essential factor in our success. We were not so successful on foreign courses. We were fairly beaten at Cohoes High, Christian Brothers’ Academy in Albany, and at Burnt Hills. We had to cancel one at Watervliet and at Troy. We entered the R. P. I. Interscholastics, in which forty-eight other schools were represented with a total of three hundred seventeen runners. We placed second at the American Legion Marathon held at Troy on Thanksgiving day. For this we received a cup and felt that we had closed a very successful season for our first year. ± IBotoltng Through the untiring efforts of Coach Fred Morris, the Waterford High School Bowling team was rounded into shape and placed in excellent form. The Bowling team was fortunate, in the beginning, in having players of considerable skill and experience. This was plainly shown in the contests held throughout the season. The Waterford High School has the distinction of being the first school in E. N. Y. S. P. H. S. A. A. to introduce bowling as a major sport. This was made possible only through the kind cooperation of Frank C. Roda. our Superin- tendent of Schools. The school and team owe much to Coach Fred Morris, a top notch kegler himself, for the success attained by the team during the season. Likewise, much thanks should be given to Manager “Eddie” O'Connor for his strenuous efforts in arranging and completing a most difficult schedule. OFFICERS Coach Matiagcr . Captain . .

I have been connected closely with the Class of ’35 and I have seen for myself the wonderful spirit and personality the class has possessed. Of course, you met trials and tribulations, as does every Senior Class, but you met them with sound common sense and straight-forward reasoning that will l e a great asset to you in your later years. I am especially glad you carried on the traditions of printing The Fordian. Well I remember the struggle we had to compile our book, the questions that arose, the amount of work connected with it; but now we wouldn’t trade those golden hours when we worked together for anything in the world; and I know you, the Class of ’35 and the Staff of The Fordian, will feel the same in the f uture.
