To her, Miss Margaret Walsh, our advisor, we dedi- cate The Forman of 1936. Jforetoorb A good work well done, this little book will, we know, continue to bring to its authors and readers alike increasing satisfaction as its recorded memories of happy times and pleas- ant friendships grow ever dearer with the passage of years.

Inex- pressive as our words may seem, still we hope that they will in a measure express the genuine feeling of the Class of 1936 toward the institution to which the members are now obliged to bid farewell. It is a sign of marked affection to declare publicly that here at Waterford we have experienced a development and stimulation that we believe we could not have had elsewhere. Within four brief years we have lived a lifetime of enjoy- ment and fraternity with our' instructors as well as classmates. In the wide range of her activities, we have met those rare friends whose equal we shall never see again. The Class of 1936 has been unusually fortunate in being able to play a part in the development and continuance of intellectual understanding at V. H. S. We take this opportunity of reassuring her that we shall continue to assist her in her lofty ambitions by responding with devotion to any future summons she may give. With justified pride in calling Waterford our Alma Mater and in being called in turn Waterfordians, with lingering steps we turn away from her halls with these affectionate words on our lips, “Ave atque Yale’ !

ANDERSON “Andy” Varsity basketball 2, 3, 4; Soccer 2, 3, 4; Track 3; Baseball 2. 3; Photography Club 2; Ping Pong Club 2. 3; President Poster Club 4; Varsity Club 3; Art Board Fordian 4; Glee Club 1, 2, 3. Carrol ambles in with a quiet grin and big black overshoes, and the Senior room becomes a cheerier place. Carrol’s contribution to sports during bis career, bis appreciation of a good joke and a good bit of art have made him a person worth knowing. ALBERT BREAULT ‘'AV Soccer 1, 2, 3; Basketball 2; Photogra- phy 2, 3. A1 always looks sleepy but don’t let his looks deceive you. Me is really very alert and full of life and always seems to spy a pretty girl. He’s interested in sports, too, and has sunk a few field goals for old Waterford. MARION JOAN BRESLIN “Bres” Treasurer 1; Girl Reserves 2; Glee Club 1, 2, 3, 4; Business Board Fordian 4. The simplicty that characterizes Marion and her calm, unassuming manner make her an in- teresting friend to all who know her. Yet her standing wit added to that effective “giggle” make her an amusing companion for all. V FRANCES A. BROOKLEY “Fran” Student Council 2, 3; Secretary Student Council 3; Library Club 2, 3; President Library Club 3; Ping Pong Club 3; Ring Committee 3; Prom Committee 3; Liter- ary Board Fordian 4. A quiet walk, a calm, gentle manner, cool, unassuming efficiency—these qualities will make Fran a success in the business world, wc know. Her modesty has cloaked many of her talents, but those of us who have worked with her know that she has that “stick-to-it-iveness” which guarantees great accomplishments. Sixteen FORDI AN 1 X X X X I X JAMES R. BROWN Zckc Orchestra 1. 2, 3. 4: Stamp Club 2. Those who understand 'Zeke” recognize his ability for profound thinking. lie reads deep books, hut he also enjoys a good detective story along with the rest of us. He will be remem- bered for his leadership of the Hill-Billies”, who have afforded us many minutes of musical en- joyment. CHARLES CARPENTER Carp' JEANNE CLEMENT Newspaper Club 2, 3. 4; Prom Commit- tee 3; Secretary-Treasurer Ping Pong Club 3; Poster Club 4 ; Assistant Manager Basketball 4; Assistant Editor Fordian 4; Bowling Team 3, 4; Class Day Com- mittee 4. Carp is our class wit. and well he is named. He is a good-natured boy and easy-going, as well as a gentleman and a scholar. His serious mien belies his fun-loving heart. 'Jane X X X X X X Basketball 1, 2, 3, 4; Ping Pong Club 3; Girl Reserves 3; President Girl Re- serves 4; Secretary-Treasurer Library Club 4; Show Card Club 4. Jeanne always accomplishes what she sets out to do, Ik it class or club activity, studies, or that famous knitting. Rapid changes from scowling severity to merry laughter make her an interest- ing companion. MARJORIE J. CONNOR Margie” Basketball 1. 2. 3. 4; Girl Reserves 2. 3. 4; Secretary Girl Reserves 4; Glee Club 1, 2; Dancing Club 4; Prom Com- mittee 3; Dance Committee 4. We can’t decide which of Margie’s moods we like best—that blushing, giggling one: the raised eyebrow, faintly quizzical one: or the serious, secretarvish cne. But we are sure that we love her in pearl earrings and a perfect, blonde wave. Maybe she will set us at ease by combining all of the above for future use. Seventeen P O R DIA N ELEANOR A. COURSON “El” Girl Reserves 2; Vice President Girl Reserves 4; Library Club 4; Fordian Hoard 4. Eleanor is one of our quiet Seniors. She is very careful of her appearance and always looks lovely. She is also a great sport with a real sense of humor. Miss Walsh still wonders whether or not she likes German. ¥ 1 ¥ n ¥ fi. I RITA E. CREMISIO “Patty” Girl Reserves 2; Library Club 4; Fea- ture Hoard Fordian 4. Rita is one of those deceivingly quiet persons. One minute you’re not aware of her shy pres- ence. and next minute she’s the center of a lively laughing group. She has been affectionately dubbed ‘‘Toots’’ and is a temptation to add “O.K. Toots” because when she is asked to do a favor or a piece of work, the answer is invariably in the affirmative. ANNA MAE DALTON “Ann” Glee Club 1, 2, 3; Library Club 2; Treasurer 3, 4; Business Board Fordian. Ann is the ‘‘Keeper of the Keys” to the treas- ury and a good keeper she has been for two years. Intelligence, gentleness, and capability charac- terize Ann. If you’ve ever heard her translate German as though the passage were in English, you’d believe she was destined for a place in the Diplomatic Service. JACK W. DOUTTIEL 'Duke' Show Card Club 4; Soccer 2, 3, 4; President Junior Student Council 1 ; Dra- matics Club 3; Prom Committee 3: Var- sity Club 3; Foriuan Board 4: Traffic Committee 2. Jack is a happy-go-lucky sort of boy, whose good looks make him an important element in the eyes of many Senior girls. His artistic talents have made his high school career colorful. Eighteen F O R DIA N 3 3® : JOHN M. DROMIRECKI Barrel'’ John has always supported the class loyally in all its endeavors. His cheery smile and twink- ling eyes greet us at all times. He is familiarly known as “Barrel” due to his short, rotund fig- ure which even the C.C.C. could not affect. MARY JEAN DUDEK “Speed,” Forman Staff 4; Girl Reserves 4; So- cial Club 4. We always knew Mary had a charming smile, hut when the proofs of her pictures came, we thought we had a movie star in our class. We have heard rumors that several young men from Mechanicville hold the same opinion. Wc hope you enjoy your life ahead, Mary, as much as you seem to enjoy the nonsense in the Senior MARGARET ELIZABETH DUNPHY “Mary” Girls’ Basketball 1. 2, 3. 4; Ping Pong Club 3; Dramatic Club 2; Business Board Fordian 4. “A peaches-and-cream” complexion, flashing dark eyes, an infectious “giggle” make up the Mar- garet we know. If busy executives are still look- ing for attractive secretaries, Marg will be the answer to their prayers in June. We’re not envious, but we would like to know how it feels. Marg. to have an adoring swain on each arm everv time we walked to school. FREDERICK G. FEWKES “Freddie” Stamp Club 2; Dramatic Club 1. Fred is one of those quiet men who doesn’t open his mouth without having something to say. His one pet hobby is reading out loud in class, which always vexes his teachers. However, Fred’s easy-going ways which help him through many trials will probably continue to do so throughout the future. Nineteen F O R DIA N ADDIE E. GODFREY “Ad” Glee Club 2; Basketball 2; Baseball 2; Class Play Club 1, 2; Show Card Club 4; Feature Board Fordian 4. Although Addie has been with us for only a year, she has truly become one of us. Her bash- fulness, most apparent in the presence of the op- posite sex, has not prevented her from entering joyfully and whole-heartedly in all our work and fun. RICHARD D. HAGAR “Rooster” ARTHUR E. HEMSTEAD Leader Tumbling Club 4; Newspaper Club 3; Cross Country 3, 4; Track 3, 4; Varsity Club 3, 4; Captain Cross Country 4; Captain Track 4; Dancing Club 4; Art Club 4; Monitor 4; Dance Committee 4; Cheer Leader 4; Athletic Board Fordian 4; Class Day Committee 4. Dick is one of our best liked students and therefore one of the most popular. His blonde hair and frank nature are typical of one who hails from “V’mont state”. He is a good listener and an interesting talker and knows when to apply both qualities. On the whole. Dick is an asset to any class (especially when he runs for it). 'Art” Secretary-Treasurer Class 1 ; Model Airplane Club 2; Prom Committee 3; Amateur Night Committee 4; Pinochle Club 4; Advertising Board Fordian 4; Class Day Committee 4. Listen, fellows. Art is making a speech. What a torrent of million dollar words. Really, you would have to be of the “super intelligentsia” to understand them. But all fooling aside, we envy his great gift of oratory. Art is also a great sport and very energetic when work time comes around. ANNA JAROSZ Feature Board Fordian 4; Dancing Club 1 ; Craft Club 2; Social Club 4; Girl Reserves. Have you ever caught that quiet twinkle in Anna’s beautiful dark eyes? She has been a quiet member of a generally riotous class, but her en- joyment of every activity has been very keen. Twenty FORDIAN ;m; ;3 e; ;m; :m; o LOIS I. JOHNSON “Lo Girl Reserves 2, 4; Glee Club 3; Prom Committee 3; Library Club 4; Forman Board 4. Lois is our little “sophisticated lady”. She always appears just slightly bored, but under- neath she is just having the time of her life, as is everyone in her presence. We haven’t yet figured out the spell she casts on the gentlemen. DOROTHY M. JONES “Dot Dramatic Club 2; Library Club 4; Glee Club 1. Dorothy’s neat and attractive appearance is reflected in her beautiful handwriting. This, coupled with her charming manner, should be a distinct asset to her in her future work as a secretary. X X n ¥ ft X JOHN B. KEENE Doc President 2. 3; Exchange Editor School Crier 2: Editor-in-Chief School Crier 3, 4: Editor-in-Chief Forman 4: Radio Dramatics 4: Wathidram Club 2; Prom Committee 3: Pinochle Club 4: Cheer Leader 3. 4: Amateur Night Committee 4: Monitor 3; Varsity Club 3. 4. A twinkle from black-lashed, sparking blue eyes, a sidelong glance. “Sure. I’ll take care of it,” and you know John’s around. Intelligence, poise, wit, boundless energy have made John the natural leader of his class always and will en- shrine him in his classmates’ memories. EDWARD J. KIDWELL, JR. “Bud Newspaper Club 2; Advertising Board Forman 4; Class Day Committee 4: Bas- ketball 2, 3, 4; Soccer 3, 4; Baseball 3. 4. Bud is the perfect sportsman. Throughout his high school years he has been active in both sports and social affairs. Bud has also made a name for himself on the dance floor: so much so that he shares the honors with Polly for being the best dancer of the Class of ’36. Twenty-one ©s ®: F O R DIA N :3 r; ¥ ;3 :s ¥¥ o t ¥ ft VINCENT KONCEWICZ ‘‘Greek Soccer 1, 2, 3; Basketball 2; Photo- graphy Club 2, 3. Vincent really had a seat of his own in Room 21, but you’d never suspect it from the way he usurped June’s place morning and noon. Greek has an ever-present smile which easily emerges with a hearty laugh when “Joey” comes around with a joke. I ¥ ¥ ¥ ¥ ¥ ft ¥ I ¥ ft VIRGINIA M. LARKINS “Nina Secretary Girl Reserves 2; Monitor 3; Prom Committee 3; Associate P'ditor Fordian 4; Class Day Committee 4. Nina, although small in size, has a great ca- pacity for knowledge. She is modest, sincere and amiable. She has supported the Senior Class in their every effort to make a success of their yearbook. NAOMI ESTELLA LAVENDER “Nomie” Choral Club Troy High 1. 2; Glee Club Waterford High 4: Literary Board Foru- ian 4; Basketball 4. If you should chance upon a girl with curly, red hair and a hearty laugh, you will have dis- covered Nomie. If you see a graceful form flit- ting about the dance floor and a charming per- son with a “Pepsodent” smile, that’s still Nomie. And. oli yes! ask her to sing—she is very much given to “Carrolling”. BEATRICE M. LEMIEUX “Lemmy” Girl Reserves 2; Basketball 1. 2, 3,; Secretary class 3: Art Board Fordian 4; Monitor 2, 3: Prom Committee 3. “Lemmy” will always be remembered with sweet thoughts because of her natural niceness and also her candy-selling skill. Her sports- manship will also be remembered as well as her ability to concentrate in the midst of excited Seniors. Twenty-two FORDIAN :3€r;:3 ;;3€:;:3€:”3 r;G l A L A I I X X X JOAN RITA MARON 'Vo Orchestra 1. 2. 3, 4; Glee Club 1, 2, 3, 4; Basketball 2; Prom Committee 3; King Committee 3; Chairman Dance Commit- tee 4; Literary Chairman Fordian 4. Rita gives that added touch to the piano, es- pecially in her Eddie Duchin arrangements. She is one of the most capable persons in the High School in every field. Her willing disposition, accompanied by her great sportsmanship, makes her a loving companion. ft f u I 7 PETER M. MAZULA “Pierre1 Vice-President Dramatics Club 1 ; Sec- retary Pinochle Club 2; Pinochle Club 3; Cross Country 3. 4; Track 3, 4; Monitor 2; Feature Board Fordian 4; Movie Com- mittee 4. Peter is the more studious type of individual whose lessons are always perfect. The appear- ance of his name on the honor roll is as regular as a Saturday night bath. His willingness to work and the rapidity with which he “swallows up” his lessons is amazing. Peter doesn’t talk much but he can always be counted on in any emergency. DOROTHY A. MEE “Dot” Girl Reserves 4; Library 4; Basket- ball 1. 2. 4. Dot lias well earned her title of the l est ticket seller in the Senior Class. Dot is a fun-loving person who has interest in the various activi- ties in the school. RUTH A. METCALF “Buster” Library Club 2. 3. 4; Vice-President Library Club, 2, 3; President Library Club 4; Secretary Show Card Club 4; Girl Re- serves 4; Prom Committee 3: Literary Board Fordian 4. A book of French, a canoe and quiet waters and Ruth is happy. But try to imagine such a girl liking exams as much as Ruth does. She participates in varied activities in and out of school and still is an excellent scholar. Twenty-three o:3er::3c;:3c::3e;;3s; FORDIAN I I I ¥ I X ¥ k ¥ ¥ X X X v) X X X ki k X X u ¥ I. A NORMA R. MINCHER “Norm” Student Council 1: Feature Board Ford- ian 4. Norma is a quiet, good-natured girl, whose personality reveals itself in her smile. Her ability in studies, especially Latin and French, assure her of success in the future. GEORGE P. MORGAN “Terry , Boo-Boo” Model Airplane Club 1. 2; Stamp Club 3; Pinochle Club 4; Advertising Board Forman 4; Amateur Night Committee 4; Class Day Committee 4. Tall, lanky, frank and honest of speech. That is “Terry”. How like “Honest Abe” he seems as he sticks to his point in all the arguments he enters (which are many). How he astounds us with his inexhaustible knowledge of history. We hope you won’t always be up-in-the-air” about aviation. George. ROSEMARY E. MURPHY “Pat Glee Club 1, 2, 3. 4; Treasurer Class 2; Prom Committee 3; Literary Board Ford- ian 4; Class Day Committee 4: Vice President Class Saint Francis de Salles, Utica, 3: Orchestra. Saint Francis dc Salles, Utica, 3. “Shure, when Irish eyes are smilin’, they steal your heart away.” And “shure” they do, if they happen to lx Rosemary’s. She is a real pal and a very talented ladv, too, with her charming voice and love for the piano. MARY E. NERTNEY “Nert” Mary is a very individual girl. With her dark hair, complexion and eyes, she makes a very lovely picture. Although we seldom hear from her in class meetings, Mary has supported the Seniors in every undertaking. We are glad she returned from Ballston to grace our halls with her sleek sophistication. Twenty-four FORDIAN ;3e:; ;3®; ;3er; o EARL NORMANDIN, JR. “Ike” Wathidram 2; Basketball 3, 4; Cross Country 4; Track 3, 4; Baseball 4. Ike is one of those rare silent men. His easy- going manner and ready smile characterize him. This slow manner changes into lightning-like motion on the cinder path and basketball court. EDWARD O CONNOR “Ed” Vice-President 1; Photography Club 2, 3; Varsity Club 3, 4; Fordian Photo- graphic Board; Manager and Captain Bowling Team 3. 4; Prom Committee 3: Dance Committee 3. 4: Dancing Club 4; Poster Club 4; Candy Salesman 3, 4. When Friday afternoon rolls around, Ed is among the missing, but at all other times he has been an outstanding figure in our homeroom. His candy-selling, bowling, snappy clothes, cheery manner, and that old black leather case have endeared him to all his classmates. r f X i K I x i WILLIAM F. O’MEARA “L’il Giant” Student Council 1, 2. 3: Class Presi- dent 4; Fordian Business Manager 4: Prom Committee 3 ; Chairman King Com- mittee 3: Assistant Manager Cross Coun- try and Track 3; Manager Cross Country and Track 4; Radio Dramatics 4; Chief Monitor 2; Wathidram Club 2; Ama- teur Night Committee 4: Social Club 4; Varsity Club 3. 4; School Traffic Com- mittee 2. What a hullabaloo issues from the Senior room. What in the world is going on in there? Oh. we know! The “Li’l Giant” is trying to conduct a class meeting again. He has just asked them to vote on the “Whatchamacallit . But really Bill is a great fellow and there is nothing he wouldn't do for the Seniors and Waterford High. ALBERT C. PARKER “L’il Albie” Student Council 1. 2: Prom Committee 3: Vice-President 3: Wathidram Club 1. 2; Amateur Night Committee 4: Social Club 3: Literary Board 4; Cross Country 3; President Class 1 : Glee Club 1 ; Class Day Committee 4; Monitor 3: Varsity Club 3 ; Traffic Committee 2. “Albie” is one of the “intelligentsia of the class. His merry laugh and quick wit make classes with him more enjoyable for everyone. He is the last of a long line of Parkers to leave the school richer for their presence. G'3di 0;3e;: r;:3c;:3c;:3€; F O R DIA N CATHERINE PATERNIANI Fordiax Photographic Board 4. 'Kate' “Beauty is only skin deep,” they say, but we’ll take beauty, especially when its of Kate’s type. Her placid manner and gentle speech make her a restful companion and her co-operation in all class activities has made her a valuable Senior. A. MYRTLE ROLSTON Topsy Civics Club 1; Wathidram 2; Library Club Reporter 3; Prom Committee 3; Forman Advertising Board 4; Girl Re- serves 4; Pinochle Club 4; Basketball 4. Myrtle is one of the best workers in the Senior Class. She has a genial personality which is re- flected in all her activities. Her willingness to co-operate will surely be a determining factor in her future endeavors. JOSEPH E. SCHOFIELD Szvcdc Class President 1 ; Latin Club 1 ; Prom Committee 3; Dance Committee 4; Ford- ian Athletic Board 4; Monitor 2, 3; Dancing Club 4; Wathidram Club 1 ; Basketball 1, 2, 3, 4; Captain Basketball 4; Track 3, 4; Cross Country 4; Baseball 3, 4. Joey, with his prankish gestures and inane gig- gle, is as much a part of the Senior room as the fixtures. Despite Joe’s readiness for fun he is very serious about his athletic endeavors. We would not be surprised to see his name on an Olympic roster in a few years. JOSEPH SICKO Cho-Sce-Ko” Cross-country 3, 4; Track 4; Baseball 3, 4. Joe has the rare and enviable quality of being able to stand many jokes at his expense. He has been present at all Senior functions, usually with his “Lady Fair”. We understand Joe argues in some classes but this characteristic has never been apparent in his quiet home room manner. T went y-six FORDIAN J PAULINE SOBER Polly' Girl Reserves 2, 3. 4; Prom Committee 3; Dancing Club 4; Advertising Hoard Fordian; Basketball 2: Dance Committee 4. Polly is our dancing girl. She is very popular, especially when she dishes up big ice cream cones. Her stately posture and mysterious glances are the envy of her girl friends and the downfall of the boys. ANNE MARIE SORENSEN “Ri Newspaper Club 2. 3; Associate Editor Newspaper Club 4; Glee Club 3, 4; Moni- tor 3; Basketball 3; Prom Committee 3; Business Board, Fordian 4. Marie is a cheerful person with a contagious giggle. She is ready to work or play as the occa- sion demands. Her ability to “make” the honor roll is envious. MILDRED E. STILES “Mil Prom Committee 3: Senior Dance C om- mittee 4; Fordian Business Board 4. Mildred, with her Yardley complexion, reminds us of a product of an English finishing school. Her mischievous eyes keep a group of attentive gentlemen always in her presence. DOROTHY VAN KEUREN Dor Girl Reserves 2, 4; Glee Club 2, 3, 4; Fordian Literary Board 4; Prom Com- mittee 3; Class Day Committee 4. Dot’s innocent blue-eyed stare belies the bub- bling humor within. She is Class Poet and has proven herself very capable of the task as she has written many inspiring poems. We should not be surprised to find Dot filling Edna St. Vincent Millay's high-heeled slippers some day. Twenty-seven F O R DIA N ELEANOR VAN KLEECK i v • • • Ztzzic Glee Club 1. 2; YVathidrani Club 2; Girl Reserves 2. 4; Prom Committee 3; Pinochle Club 4; Class Day Committee 4; Forman Photographic Board 4. Eleanor is a restless person, always in need of excitement. With her laughing blue eyes and sparkling smile, she adds much to the lives of those who are fortunate enough to be her friends. LOIS M.

We held our first class .. a meeting and elected Jack Kenney our leader. Under Jack's able guidance, we JT W accumulated enough money to have a class picnic at Saratoga I.akc. This was largely attended, and, to use that favorite expression, “A good time was had 3' (. I by all.” I •i r When we returned to school as Sophomores, we were saddened to learn that y H our former president, Kenney, had left us for LaSalle. Fortunately, however, we x| V found an able successor in John Keene, whom we elected as president. Our r x M Sophomore activities were not worthy of mention, save that we collected a W jr sizeable sum toward the expenses of our Junior year. -,x $| With the arrival of our Junior year, we again elected John Keene president. ,C We early resolved that our Junior Prom was going to be bigger and better than •, ever before. We presented a movie benefit in November. 1934, which was a M LC big success. Finally, we saw our dreams of a Junior Prom become a reality. r Mi In June. 1935, said prom was held with amazing success, a balloon dance being 't,S the feature of the evening. 'is M In September, 1935, we returned to school as dignified (we hoped) Seniors. ffl M This year we chose as our competent leader Bill O’Meara. Bill was well-known 'yS M as a person who enjoyed hard work and taking part in class activities. At our fn 'L first class meeting, we voted unanimously in favor of having a yearbook. John 'A Keene was again honored by being elected Editor-in-Chief of the 1936 FORDIAN. Ijjfy Id With a coni])etent staff under him, he set to work. Money-making plans were LC submitted and committees were formed. a Id The first organized financial scheme was candy-selling, which has continued 'L yS through the year under the expert handling of Beatrice Lemieux and Eddie jSg O'Connor. ¥ Jx In the Fall we presented an amateur contest at Mr. Tepedino’s suggestion. This went over very well. Literally speaking, we packed them to the doors. k£ Jx Inspired by this success, we arranged for a series of three amateur nights with y w a representative of Bristol Myers Company, Sponsors of Fred Allen’s Town Id 3x Hall program. During the course of three weeks, Waterford High School y W auditorium was a mecca for ambitious amateurs from the surrounding country- Id side. The result was a trip to New York for William Farrell and a substantial jx W rise in the Senior balance. w x'x The vision of a yearbook amazingly welded the individual Seniors in a 3® H tireless unit, working toward a common goal. Each one contributed his bit, some by selling candy and pennants, all by selling the ever-present tickets, some 3x Is making posters and others by simply having inspirations. There were some W vr failures which quickly faded in the glow of successes which followed. 3|x « As a result of this consistent effort, we have our yearbook, which we will W vjc ever cherish since in the future it will be the means by which we may wander 3x M in memory once again through the scenes of our high school days in good old w vc Waterford High.

Newspaper Articles! Newspaper Briefs! Is that all I, a prophet, can see in the future? Nevertheless these are enough because in this paper which I hold I can see our 1936 Seniors at work in the future. As I scan the different columns, I see on the front page of the paper that: O’MEARA REPORTS TO HOUSE COMMITTEE Financial expert and wizard, William F. O’Meara, reports that present day business conditions can be improved only by increased taxation. Representatve O’Meara’s closing sentence was. “The United States shall and should always be ‘First in war. first in peace, and first in taxes.’ ” Chief of the “G” Women, Addie Godfrey, informs the press that the three Northside Nippers, Cremisio, Larkins and Lemieux have been seen in the vicinity of Red Gulch, Idaho. A nation-wide web has been spun in order to seize this notorious trio and Addie seems certain that their arrest will take place within the next three years. Frances Brookley has again won the title of “World’s Fastest Typist.” 35 out of the 40 people who competed for this title at Concord, New Hampshire broke all their fingers in trying to maintain the terrific speed which Miss Brookley exhibited. Miss Margaret Dunphy, who tied Jeanne Clement for 2nd place honors, remarked, “I could have trimmed Frances if somebody hadn't put gum all over my typewriter keys.” The field missionary of the Waterford Methodist Church in Siam. Ethel Weber, announced today that two American authoresses, Naomi Lavender and Marion Breslin were captured by the Semolium Head Hunters. The chief of the tribe has invited all his friendly neighbors to attend the feast that is being planned, said Miss Weber, and it certainly looks as if the two girls’ gooses are going to be cooked. And now, as I turn to the Society page I see that: Mademoiselles Johnson and Courson, hairdressers of the New Yorker Hotel, have announced the discovery of a new method for setting hair in permanent waves without the use of electric curlers. “Further details will he announced later,” said the modest girls. It is rumored about that Mrs. Lois Van Steenburg Pallozzi. wife of that noted radio crooner, Albert Pallozzi, is filing a divorce suit on the grounds that Albert’s continuous snoring in his sleep keeps her awake and is ruining her health. Mrs. Pallozzi has engaged Lawyer Eleanor Van Kleeck to represent her in the suit. Incidently, Miss Van Kleeck is a divorcee herself, therefore knowing the trials and troubles of a wife. F O R DIA N ;ac c c c «: s Miss Marjorie Connor, well-to-do society leader, was injured yesterday at Troy, New York, in an accident at Ann Jarosz's Beauty Shoppe. While she was having a manicure by Pauline Sober, the nail file in Miss Sober’s hand slipped and cut the flesh of the customer’s finger. After a thorough examination by chief of police, Jack Douttiel, it was found out that Miss Sober was the victim of cofTee-ncrves. “Coffee Nerves,” said the chief, “can be cured only by drinking Postum and Postum can he secured at Dudek’s Grocery Store on Front and Center Streets.” The condition of the patient was reported favorable today. The Carioca partners, Anderson and Currier, who are commonly known as “The Masters of Rhythm,” will entertain tonight at the house party given by Miss Dorothy Van Keuren, maker of Van Keuren’s Kutie Kleansing Kream. The completion of the program as announced by master of ceremonies, Miss Dorothy Jones, will be a recitation and pantomime sketch presented by Mr. Frederick Fewkes of Waterford, New York. And now a few briefs from Winchell’s column— Mildred Stiles and Marie Sorensen both applied for the job of stenographer at Whiting’s Whacky Wall Paper Co. yesterday morning. Miss Stiles received the position. I wonder if her high school relationship with the “Whack” had anything to do with it ? I saw Anna Dalton walking down the street yesterday with Myrtle Rolston. Some contrast,—in name. Ed. O’Connor, bowling down at the Y.M.H.A. alleys hit a 701 triple yesterday. The pinboy must have been kicking over the pins. I thought the pinboy was James Brown but I wasn’t quite sure. And as I thumbed the pages of the paper to the sport section, I discovered that: “Cho” Sicko of Halfmoon showed a flash of his high school form, defeated the field of runners which included “Ike” of Normandy and Richard Hagar. favorites, both of Waterford, in the gruelling 20 mile marathon race from Newark, N. J. to the Madison Square Garden in New York City. After the race was completed. Sicko said, “I don’t know what I would have done if it hadn’t been for those 2 Nestle Bars I ate before the race.” “Joe” Schofield, former Waterford basketball ace. is reported to have signed up with the House of David quintet provided he can grow a three inch beard within 2 months. An extraordinary contract was prepared for this boy and his contract now calls for $3 for every field goal he makes and $2 for every foul shot. The Radio and Movie Section tells us that: “N. U. T.

This is a stirring drama of a farm girl who was cheated out of youth’s happiness by her backwoodsman code and ethics only to find complete reparation with the aid of a wealthy peanut planter, whose part is played by Mr. Kidwell. Included in “Bing” Crosby’s variety program entertainment tonight over the N. B. C. Broadcasting System will be Maron and Murphy, piano duetists, playing one of the newly-arranged versions of “Tip Toe Through the Tulips With Me.” Professor Monroe Van Volkinburg will also present a violin solo and Albert Parker and Peter Mazula complete the night’s torture, I mean program, singing a few of their well-liked folk songs. And now for a few miscellaneous facts before I throw this paper away: The pinochle experts, Keene, Hemstead, and Morgan will explain to the members of the Old Men’s Society down in Menands, July 3rd, the fundamentals of the aged game. Patience, endurance, and financial backing have been given by these boys as keynotes in their rise to fame. X R M V’) U Mr. Jack Judge, delegate from the Albany Capital District Plumbers Association, has returned from the recent conference held at Cleveland, Ohio. Mr. Judge savs. “The future for plumbing is bright and prosperous; nevertheless, if one is to succeed in this field, he must be a UNION MAN.” Misses Norma Mincher, Ruth Metcalf. Dorothy Mee and Catherine Pater- niani will be graduated from Burke’s Dancing Group sometime next week. “The girls have tried hard and show some improvement since they came to me two years ago. All of the girls can now do a snappy fox-trot and waltz and certainly deserve the diploma they are going to receive.” said Professor Burke. The three Little Potatoes” Messrs. Dromirecki, Breault, and Koncewicz, named so because they are very hard to skin, have left Syracuse and have gone South for a vacation. Before they left, these three tailors confidentially told our reporter that they were out scouting for a new business because it was getting too hot in the tailor racket,—for the summer months. And now, I fold my paper up, to rest my eves, weary from this long look into the future. Lf Charles Carpenter FORDIAN Oasis; OTiU We, the Class of ‘36. with what we have left of over-crowded, well- exercised. and supposedly sound mind and memory, do make and publish this, our last will and testament, hereby revoking all former wills or promises made by us at any time; and make the following depositions of our property.

After proper deliberation and much discussion, the following results were announced: Jack Murray . Robert Patton Lois Conerty . Eunice Clute Miss Fortune . President Vice-President . Secretary . Treasurer . Adviser The main objective of the Junior Class was to secure sufficient funds to give the Seniors a Prom. The first method was, to say the least, novel. Each one appeared with a box of ear-muffs, which they sold, or tried to sell, to their school- mates. This apparently was a good idea as a number of people appeared in school and vicinity wearing these intriguing protectors against Jack Frost. Their sales ability having proved successful, they again tried it, this time on Shaving Cream. This plan was open to both Seniors and Juniors, but the Seniors, being a generous class, left the opportunity open to their inferiors. The day school closed for Christmas vacation, the student body enjoyed itself immensely at the Junior Matinee Dance. Next, they had a movie benefit, with the kind co-operation of Mr. Burns. Many tickets were sold, and as a result the “Casino” was well filled. The Juniors and Seniors have been bitter rivals all year, and at last it became necessary to release some of the pent-up fury. A basketball game was held be- tween the two classes. The admission was ten cents, and the class to which the winning team belonged received the profits. Besides doing many things to give the Seniors a Prom, the Juniors prepared sunshine baskets for a number of its members who were ill during the year. Thus the ambitious class of '37 enters its Senior year. If they work as hard next year as they did this, they will have a record second only to one—the Class of ’36.

The freshman class as a whole was rather cowed hy the fast and furious efforts of the Juniors and Seniors to make money. As they had the misfortune of being divided, few social functions were held. Most of their time was taken up getting accustomed to high school life, and trying to live up to the high standard set bv the Seniors.

This club is one of the few clubs which have for their aim something not only pleasant in which to participate, but also health-giving to its participants. The club has had many varied activities in the past, among which were in- cluded several hikes to points of local interest, a hot dog roast, several competi- tive baseball games, and, a sport in which most girls are quite apt. roller-skating The weather in general has been against their activities program, but with bet- ter conditions the club will soon gain more members and their variety program will be much wider and more interesting. In any case, the purjiose of the club will keep it alive in the annals of Waterford High School.

The election of officers, their first activity, resulted as follows: Jeanne Clement Eleanor Courson Marjorie Connor Lois Johnson . Miss Woelfle . . President Vice-President . Secretary . Treasurer Faculty Adviser As the money-making hug was going around school, these girls were bitten by it very soon after their election. They decided to give a Game Party, at which cards. Bingo, Monopoly and other current game favorites were played. A large crowd attended this enterprise, the proceeds of which were devoted to the Student Welfare Fund. This enthusiastic club had a festive time at every meeting. Speakers, teas, cooking parties, picnics, and movie expeditions all helped to give the girls enjoy- able moments throughout the year.

Under the watchful eye of Coach Fred Morris, Waterford has turned out for {tic fifth year in succession a championship team in their division. The team defeated the following quintets to win the league: Ballston High, 2; Burnt Hills. 2: Heatley High, 2. In meeting some of the best teams in this vicinity, Waterford won many games but unfortunately met defeat at the hands of a few of the stronger teams. The following men, through much hard work and practice, earned positions on the Varsity: Joe Schofield. Bud Kidwell, Stan Grochmal, “Babe” Bartnick, Dick Clifton, Charlie Bryk, “Zyg” Bryk, Earl Normandin, Jack Malo and Grant Smith. Joseph McGarry was again the efficient manager. The results of the schedule are shown in the following: Games played, 18: games won, 10; games lost, 8. O m FORDIAN K Crosscountry yi M Waterford entered her second year of cross-country competition with great enthusiasm and a spirit that enabled her to win the championship of the Capital District and fifth place in New York State. Of our six dual meets, we lost hut one and that to Nott Terrace, the school of national interscholastic champions. The defeat was on our new three-mile course, which is the “toughest” in the Capital District. We had the honor of being the first high school in this district in the history of cross-country to win by a perfect score. We defeated Watervliet 15-40; by the same score we also defeated C. B. A., the second strongest team in the section. Waterford entered her first big meet at Syracuse University, the interscholastic meet at which the strongest teams in the East competed. We placed fifth among forty schools in the first meet and sixth at the second, an enviable record for a “green'’ team. Thanksgiving Day we tied for first place with the Amsterdam Hurricanna Club in the Troy seven-mile run. Although the majority of letter men are being graduated this year, promising material indicates a good team for next year. Fred Morris ........ Coach Bill O’Meara ........

They gathered many honors both in the Northern and Southern School Leagues. While the team was competing with various schools, they ran into many difficulties. But with the careful instruction and coaching of “Fred” Morris they Were able to overcome the majority of their faults. Bowling was introduced in the Waterford High School as a major sport two years ago. Since then it has become more and more popular with the student body. After the first call this year, no less than forty-five kegglers turned out for the try-outs. The bowling team. Coach Morris and the Manager wish to thank Mr. Roda, Miss Ranney, the Board of Education and the student body for the kind co-opera- tion they have shown towards furthering the sport.

To my way of thinking, the Waterford High School is in a class by itself, equalled by few and excelled by none. It has been truthfully said, It is better to buy, a cheap bouquet, and give to your friend this very day; than bushels of roses white and red, to lay on his casket after lie is dead.” A tiny rose bud in life is far better than a whole basket of flowers in death. The Quaker said. “I expect to pass through this world but once. Any good thing that I may do or any kindness that I may show to any human being, let me do it now. Let me not do for it. nor neglect it for I shall not pass this way again. During the sixty years between 1876 and 1936. my observations have taught me that the happiest people in the world are those who make other people happy. A self-centered person, in God's sight, is a failure. A self-centered organization has m reason for its existence. The past sixty years have witnessed many marvelous in- ventions for the pleasure and comfort of humanity. Among the many, may be mentioned the Incandescent Lamp, the Automobile and that twentieth century ivonder, the Radio. I have found Longfellow’s Psalm of life ; Whittier’s “Snow Bound”; Bryant’s “Thanatopsis”; Tennyson’s “Crossing the Bar.” splendid, in- structive reading. This also applies to Victor Hugo’s “Les Miserables,” Dickens’ ‘Tale of Two Cities”; Tolstoy's “Resurrection.” The poet has truthfully said We live in deeds not years, in thoughts, not breaths, in feelings, not in figures : n a dial. We should count time by heart throbs. He lives most who thinks bv leart throbs. He lives most who thinks most, feels the noblest, acts the best. With very kindest wishes, Stephen V. Lewis, Class of 1876.

In September of that year we had our first regular meeting, officers were elected and general plans outlined. The pur- pose of our Alumni Association as written in our Constitution is: 1. To promote interest in Waterford High School. 2. To encourage a social spirit among graduates of Waterford High School. 3. To entertain members of the graduating class at a reception each June. We wish to congratulate the class of 1936 and hope they will be faithful Alumni members. -Arthur K. Carmel, '34 ilie officers elected were: Arthur K.

Dating from the meagre efforts of the class of nineteen thirty-two, each suc- ceeding class has issued a more successful book. With pride we have followed the rapid development of an enterprising and worthwhile project. We sincerely feel that the class of 1936 has earned all the honor and glory which has become theirs with the publishing of their year book. Joseph Willetts, Editor-in-Chief, ’32 Fordian. The members of the class of '36 are diligent sewers who work upon the skele- ton frame of cloth whose pattern is simple and elementary. This design was sketched with thread by previous workers who could not bother with the finer trappings of their art. The class of ’36 follows the same outline, yet enriches it with depth of tone and wealth of experience their predecessors lacked. Their year book is the mantle they weave for the Mother School—Waterford High. Proud she will he to don so fine a garb made by her children. Class of '36, you have woven tradition here on these pages. You have given a part of yourselves to the school. You have worked for your success and have found it. here between the pages of this—your year book. Truly you may say, in the words of Sidney Carton, “This thing I do, is a far greater thing than I have ever done.” Roger Whalen Busha. Editor-in-Cliief, ’34 Fordian. To you. the class of '36. 1 hope this year book will prove as valuable in years to come as my year book has proven to me. High school seems so far away to me now as I look hack. It does not seem possible that only a few, short months ago I was a student of the Waterford High School. I can look hack and remember the happy days I spent at school, especially those months when I helped to compile my class’s year book. I have several times already experienced great joy and surprise in looking over my book, in seeing my classmates as they were then, and thinking of how they appear now. I know that you. too, will experience the same sensation in another year or so, when you look at your book and think to yourself. “I helped to compile this book.” 1 appreciate very much this opportunity of writing a few words to the class of '36. I hope this book of schoolday memories will be a chain that will forever bind together the members of the class of '36. Albert Arciiitzci.
