Strife, upheaval and lack of positions face the working public, and we, who are graduating into this unsettled business world, will find it necessary to apply to the greatest extent that which we have learned in our years of schooling. It means applying ourselves to the fullest capacity so that we may fitly establish ourselves in whatever we may choose for our future activities. To many, it means entering on a new era of higher education in one of the many colleges and universities scattered throughout the land, and, if we can but realize the opportunities that we have in broadening our knowledge, we are sure to overcome the handicaps which are upon us. Whatever may be our plans for the future, don’t let the present conditions discourage us, for those who get ahead are those who plan carefully, which planning will place our goal nothing short of success.

Ned Perkins has become known as Mr. Ned Perkins Ne. CZ and F. O. The world’s most astute and learned professor of chemistry and mathematics. He showed the world how to obtain 59 protoplasms from 6 ectoplasms and he proved it with notes that could not be disputed. 2. Joseph Haffey has become the president of the art company which answers to “Art in the Making.” Joe looks wise and critically at all drawings submitted by his two star managers—Jack Brundige and Harold Wright, and with a flourish O. K’s. them. Did you ever see Mr. Haffey’s flourish? 3. Nicholas “Nicky” DeCredico is selling all sorts of foreign curios (junk to you) that he picked up in his travels through Mechanicville and Stillwater. He obtained his permit to liquidate his stock from quiet and serious Allen Bishop, the respected mayor of our outstanding town, Waterford. 4. Clifford Stanley has become an outstanding problem to modern science. He has contracted that dreaded disease, “Slcdicoupis Denaught,” known to the run of people as sleeping sickness. I wonder if he will get better? 5. Did any of you know that Robert Kennedy has become known as an- other Robert Taylor? His love scenes are heart throbbing. His first chance in pictures was due to the efforts of a big director of Hollywood. Perhaps you know him, his name is Kenneth Brower. 6. Charles Bryk and Ellsworth Sisson have become renown models for men’s bathing suits and red flannels. The supple grace with which Charlee and “Sis” have modeled has been largely responsible for taking these companies out of the troop of unknown companies. 7. Grant Smith was left a paper mill by a rich great-uncle. He has pitched right into the job. In fact, he is shaving time and gluing his nose to the grindstone. 8. Robert “Doc” Marino has started a clinic. He has two internes, Mario Ascenzi and Norman Sweet. Maybe some day they will have the honor of re- moving a few parts of your’s or my anatomy. 9. James O’Day and John Tooley have started a gym. It is called “Ye Olde Muscle-Builder Upper” and is located two blocks north of Broadway in the big city. The gym is attended by many illustrious members of this class of 1938. They include the following from Ringling Brothers Circus: Francis Reeves, the strong man of the circus who comes “Just for the training, just for the training”; the famous trapeze artists, “The Lupey Twins,” known in every day life as Jean Thirty ......................... 1938 FORDIAN Crandall and Joan Hammersley; also from the same circus are “The Tumbling Irish,” which includes Doris Ryan, John Ncwland and Kenneth Fox. Others who attend this gym are Jack McEnroe, who runs a bakery truck; Cecilia Cicchinelli and Marjorie Reynolds who run the lunch wagon around the block. (That is slightly incorrect as they own half the block). These girls also come in to relax from the hustle bustle of the city. 10. Lillian Lawrence and Dorothy Morris have started a beauty shop with face lifting as a sideline. That’s a very good business. 11. Helen Willets and Lena Cobb have become school teachers of mathe- matics and English at Jane Palmer’s School for Girls and Russell Sage, respectively. 12. Silliman Wondisford has become one of the country’s leading publicity agents and a deadly rival in the business is his recent competitor, Alice Grochmal, who is famous for her radio addresses. 1.1. A swanky gown shop has been doing a splendid business in the past year under the management of Nancy Cooper and Jean Weddell. I hope it continues to be successful. 14. I have heard rumors of several of the girls of the class starting a class of Home Care.” They mean to practice on each other’s houses (taking one at a time, of course), every cleaning day. The girls do all the housework and in this way build up their knowledge of housing problems. The group includes: Adcll Koncewicz, Helen Hart, Mary W innie, V innic Dudden, and Marion Keane. Re- member this is only hearsay, but if it is true, then the girls have a splendid idea. I wonder if this class is private ? 15. As usual, Gerald Morris is entering the Amateurs Annual Golf Cham- pionship. Alice Morrisey is his partner and the two of them will represent this fair State of New York. 16. Betty Hammersley has become a full-fledged nurse and is occupying a position in a New York hospital. 17. Eric Heggen and Kenneth Wright have become pilots of two trans-con- tinental ships of the World W’idc Company. It happens that Mary Normandin, Viola Cercimuga and Eleanor Sorensen arc employed as stewardess’ by the same company. 18. Elsie Sorensen has become a diving champ and it is common knowledge that she is confident and well she might be of winning the next Diving Champion- ship Contest. 19. Helen Slupski is on the radio. She is billed as the Mystery Chef. It is said that she knows all the little unheard of recipes of the world and after her program anyone would be sure he or she could live on a desert island or in a floating row'boat for an indefinite time.

Witnesses: Charlie-. McCarthy Donald Duck Betty Lou. Thirty-four 1938 FORDIAN IliSrORT It’s fun to reminisce. Let’s try it. Remember our freshman year? We felt so important because we were in our first year of high school. We elected Joe Haffey as president and we started the business of the year in Room 19, our piesent home room. We felt even more important when we won the prize money for the best act in an entertainment given by the Junior Student Council. Then we filled Christmas baskets and used our prize money to buy meat for the baskets. We really didn’t do much in that first year; I think it was probably because we were so dazzled by our first year of high school life. Our sophomore year is to be remembered by the number of our classmates who were ill. Allen Bishop, our president, lead us in sending sunshine baskets and flowers. We also joined the Red Cross and filled Christmas baskets. We held no money-making activities because we felt that it would be fairer to leave the field open to the Juniors and Seniors who really needed the money. We started our junior year by electing officers. Allen Bishop was re-elected president; John Newland became vice-president; Cecilia Cicchinelli treasurer and Neal Dwyer secretary. We immediately chose blue and silver as our class colors. After much deliberation we selected our class rings. We strutted through the halls for weeks after we first started to wear them. Our first money-making ac- tivity was a bam dance. We had as much fun giving it as the people did who attended it. By co-operation and hard work we held a very successful movie bene- fit and food sale. The class of ’37 went on a hay ride with us and we all had a lot of fun in spite of the rivalry that is supposed to exist between the Juniors and Seniors. Kenneth Brower was chosen as general chairman for the prom and under his very able leadership we held a successful prom. After all the work of giving a prom and taking regents was over, we held a class picnic at Caroga Lake. Our Senior year was begun with the same gusto as our Junior year. We chose Eric Heggcn to lead us in our business year. Allen Bishop was re- elected vice-president; Cecilia was our treasurer again and Doris Ryan became secretary. We knew we had a lot of work ahead of us; that we had to earn a goodly sum of money if we were to fulfill our ambition to have the best yearbook Waterford had even seen, so we started to work by giving a barn dance. To fur- ther our plans and make our bank balance go higher we sold everything from magazine subscriptions to tickets for our movie benefit. But it was well worth the trouble, for at last, we have our yearbook. And now, much to our sorrow, we have to say au revoir. Lena Cobb.

We’re leaving the light of a mellow day To travel at night our perilous way. Knowledge, our torch, its vigil will keep And guide our way in its stygian deep. And onward we march in the realm of its glow, And on through the years, though our progress be slow Toiling through night ’till our battle is won— Toil, do we all, for our place in the sun. And now as we sit beside Apollo, niche of fame. Our gaze wanders back on the way whence we came. We see upon clouds in a shimmering mirage A place where we once let a bit of us lodge.

Then the Juniors launch on a money making expedition so that they may have enough money to reach their goal. We can truthfully say that we have introduced a novel way of receiving rings at Waterford High. Our class originated the Ring Banquet. Although we used most of the money made in one first Clam Chowder Sale for this banquet, we all had a good time. Besides the new way of receiving rings, we introduced a new way of making money—Clam Chowder Sales. After two of these sales and a movie benefit we were well on our way toward reaching our goal. Along with money making activities, we found time to fill a basket for the needy at Christmas time. And so, with this account of our active life, we only hope that we can follow the record set for us by the Class of ’38. Forty-Five 1938 SOPHOMORE CLASS FORDIAN iOPHOMCRE ClbAc George Shepard .......

Saturday, April 8, found the girls entertaining the Senior Girl Reserve club of Cohoes with a party in their honor. This was also a success and was enjoyed by everyone that attended. On Tuesday, April 29, the club went hiking to “Lost Valley”, and enjoyed this activity very much. Other things which were accomplished were a “Penny Arcade”, parties, hikes, marshmallow roast, hot dogs, and picnics. Fifty-six 1938 FORDI AN library eioim The Library Club was formed this year with the main purpose of learning how to mend and repair old, worn books. This Club was sponsered by Miss O’Con- nell and under her supervision has progressed rapidly. The club has the responsibility of collecting dues for overdue books. It hopes to continue it’s work with the help of the students who take an interest in keeping the library books in good condition. 1938 Fifty-seven FORDIAN 1938 FORDIAN With three veterans back from last year and through the untiring efforts of Coach Fred Morris, the Waterford High School Bowling Team was rounded into shape and started off in excellent form. Through the effort of Coach Morris and Manager Tooley a stiff schedule was prepared, consisting of Cohoes, Mechanicville, Watervliet for the league matches and Catholic Central and Hoosick Falls. With three of last year’s veterans, “Sam” Ascenzi, “Pat” Batto and Grant Smith and the aid of three rookies, D. Ascenzi, M. Benardo and Larry Gentile, the bowling team won the E.N.Y.P.H.S.A.A. championship for the fourth consecutive time, ringing up 14 victories to 4 defeats. Members of the team consisted of: Ambrose Martin, Grant Smith, Michael Benardo, Mario Ascenzi, Captain, Patsy Batto, Dominick Ascenzi, Lawrence Gentile, John Tooley, Manager, Fred Morris, Coach. Sixty 1938 FORDIAN Experienced veterans and willing rookies teamed to make the W. H. S. basket- ball squad of 1937-38 have a very successful season. Although they suffered 7 losses, none of which were decisive, they proved their worth against such sterling opponents as Troy Business College, Corinth (28 straight game winner last year), Cohoes, Watcrvliet and others. Of the seven losses, 4 were by 1 point, 1 by 3 points and 2 by 5 points. In sincere appreciation of their efforts they were presented with scarlet jackets by Coach Fred Morris. The sweaters trimmed with white VV’s and basketballs thus show with what high feeling the Waterford High School regards such a grand group of players. The team was composed of the following members. John Male Edward Bartnick Charles Bryk Joseph Verchereau John Lawler Allen Bishop Eric Heggen John Newland Grant Smith . Harold Samuels . Francis Reeves Clifford Stanley “Jackie . “Babe “Charlie . “Joe . “Short Cut’ . “Bish” . “Eric “Splatterfoot” “Smity . “Tiny” . . “Sneeze . “Cliff” Sixty-one 1938 FORDIAN CROSS eOUNTRif Waterford High School Cross Country team finished a successful season by taking first place at the annual Troy Thanksgiving Day Marathon. The Red and White Harriers suffered their only set back at the hands of a powerful R. P. I. Frosh Team. The team took second place at Amsterdam in which 25 schools competed. The Waterford Harriers took two meets from La Salle of Troy. Considering that this team had only three veterans who had returned from last years powerful squad, the Red and White Harriers enjoyed an excellent season, despite many injuries. The members of this team were: Captain James (Rip) O’Dea John (Flatfoot) Newland Albert Falcone Thomas (Pretzel) Noonan John Clement Allen (Pokey) Bishop Alex Parissi Robert O’Connor Manager Jack Tooley Sixty-two 1938 FORDIAN OCCER The opening of the ’38 soccer season saw the formation of one of the most colorful teams in the history of Waterford High School. Led by their peerless captain and veteran of four soccer seasons, full back. Grant Smith, the squad hung up an amazing record of 15 wins, 2 losses and 3 ties. The team, an unusually light one, rode through the twenty game schedule treating sectional champs and teams of lesser calibre with equal severity. Their 5th game proved to be their first loss when they met R. P. I. away. As this was the only meeting of the season for the team they were deprived of a chance of revenge. Following this set back the team won fourteen straight before losing to Draper of Schenectady. However the Fordians climaxed their championship run by taking revenge in the last game of the season to the tune of 1-0 and by so doing became the first team to defeat Draper in 8 years. Since there is a likelihood of all but 3 men returning, the squad looks forward to the next season, when many predict, W. H. S. will have even greater success than this year.

The Current yearbook issue represents the climax of much activity on the part of our frcndly rivals of only a year ago and complctly eradicates the false fears of failure that plagued your class, as well as all preceding classes, in the fall of your senior year. I am glad to see your incorporation of certain novel features in the 1938 edition but feel still more pleased, as feel my predecessors, to note that the Fordian has retained its essential form. Although I have always been opposed to yearbook publication, I feel that you have accomplished a feat of which you might well be proud. You have done much to strengthen the annual tradition in Waterford High School. The Fordian has advanced remarkably since its inception in 1932 and the reward for your efforts lies in the knowledge that you played so important a part in fully establishing it. John A. Murray Editor, 1937 Fordian Sixty-four “Oldest Bank in Cohoes, N.
