The Class of 1946 has nobly up- held the proud record for achieve- ment that has become a tradition in the Waterford High School. The staff of the Fordian and their faculty adviser have earned my hearty con- gratulations. The officers and members of the Class of 1946 have established a splendid example for the younger classes of how to enjoy a successful senior year through cooperation and intelligent effort. We are proud of our Seniors. You have laid a strong foundation for the trying years ahead. May good fortune and happiness be the lot of each of you as you face outward from your high school Com- mencement. R. L. Williams To the Seniors of 1946 I hope that the experiences of your high school days have helped to fit you for happy, useful lives in a challenging future. As you go on now to assume places of ever-increas- ing responsibility, I wish for each and every one of you that you may so live that your home, your community, and your world may be the better for your having lived there.

Eleven 1946 Fordian )t J eto Generation “Eternal Vigilance is the Price of Liberty”—Demosthenes The years following the end of the first great world conflict were more or less dominated in America by the actions of a group of people whom present day novelists have come to designate as the “Lost Generation”. These people earned this somewhat weird appellation because they were caught in the web of circumstance which decreed them too young or immature to either prevent or actively engage in the original conflagration and, sadly, far too short-sighted, complacent, and dormant to avert the one just past. They were common, ordinary people, this “Lost Generation”, enjoying their baseball games and bridge parties just as we do today. Their only real fault rested in their inability to see, or, in some cases, their unshakable will to deny the world conditions rapidly fermenting through the years into the eruption of the war and the ultimate dooming of millions to the chaotic pits of famine and pestilence. We, the members of the Class of ’46, find ourselves in a similar situation. We were far too young to voice strong enough criticisms of our almost ludicrous policy of complacency, and just short of the age requisite for the joining of our older brothers on the far-flung battlefields of the world. We have all that is necessary to establish ourselves in future years as another “Lost Generation”. But we fervently pray that by the grace of Almighty God we shall not! Never before in the history of man has the oft-repeated phrase, “Youth is the hope of the world,” held more truth than it does at this very’ hour. We must dedicate ourselves to the practice of combining cooperation and friendship to other nations with a healthy vigilance against the forces of evil which seek to destroy all that America stands for. Never again must we and the other peace-loving nations of the world allow ourselves to lower our guard against the aggressive powers of imperial- ism and totalitarianism. Upon our decision as to which path to follow, the one indicated by vigilance and leading to peace and security or the one indicated by complacency and leading to the grave, rests the destiny of mankind. God grant that we choose the right one. Roderick O’Connor, Editor-in-Chief. T welve 1946 Fordian Fourteen SENIOR CLASS Waterford High School Mentor Class President . Bruce Dick Vice-President ....

Jr S '3 'V ' The following former members of the Armed Forces of the United States will become eligible to receive their diplomas upon successful completion of graduation requirements either by re-entering Waterford High School or through the Armed Forces Institute: Robert Brower Albert Falcone Robert Scarry Donald Vrooman Peter Woodin Robert Woodin Twenty-seven 1946 Fordian Class Jfyi tovp When we, the Class of ’46, began our high school careers four short years ago, we expected to experience the same tides of joy and tribulation that prevailed during previous high school days. Although we were hampered by war conditions during three of our years as members of the Waterford High School student body, we did have a full schedule of many activities. Now, at the close of these happy, carefree days, we would like to recall some of those events. In the Fall of 1942, we entered Waterford High School as unsophisticated Freshmen. We elected class officers and Arne Heggen was chosen President. The two main events of the year were the Freshmen Hop and a farewell party for our adviser, Mrs. Haggerty, who became a member of the WAVES. The following year we were Sophomores and Mrs. Rogan became our Class Adviser. It was under her capable leadership that we conducted several dances and a very successful Sophomore Soiree. Although we really enjoyed our second year of high school, we were eagerly anticipating our Junior year. When the time finally arrived for us to become Juniors, the Class of ’46 really entered one of the most busy and happy periods of high school life. As Juniors wc gained a little more sophistication and our long awaited class rings. Under the combined direction of Mrs. Rogan and President Bruce Dick, we sponsored several fund-raising activities. Included were dances and the sale of magazine subscriptions. We also gave Waterford its first Junior Prom in four years. In May we entertained the Seniors at a banquet at the Annex Restaurant. A class picnic in June ended our successful Junior year. The Class of ’46 began its last year at Waterford High School by again choosing Bruce Dick as President. Miss McGarty became our adviser and it was under her able guidance that we have carried on our Senior activities. In order to raise funds to meet our numerous expenses, we have conducted dances, sold magazine subscriptions, stationery, and Christmas cards. “Junior Miss” has been selected as the Senior Play and we hope to have a Senior Ball. Of course, producing the best yearbook in Waterford High School history has been of prime importance and we hope that we have attained this goal. Our years in this school have constituted one of the shortest, but most enjoyable periods life has to offer. We hope that Waterford High School will be filled with pleasant memories of the Class of ’46. Elizabeth Hall Twenty-eight Waterford High School Class; IDtll We, the Class of ’46, after due consideration of all eligible heirs and being of sound mind and memory, do hereby declare this to be our last will and testament. To the faculty members, we leave our everlasting appreciation of a task well-done and to you, dear teachers, we also leave our beloved schoolmates, the Class of ’47. To the Juniors, we leave all our surplus school supplies and our best wishes for an enjoyable, successful and as hectic a Senior year. To the Sophomores, we leave all the fun of choosing a class ring and showing it to everyone an average of four times before the novelty wears off. To the Freshmen, we leave our financial brilliance—one of our most valued possessions. To the Eighth Grade, we leave our class colors of yellow and white, our homeroom 306 and its happy memories. To our adviser, Miss McGarty, we leave our sincere gratitude for her guidance and patience throughout our Senior year. To her successor, Miss McGarty leaves two dozen well-sharpened pencils to sign those endless passes, and a sufficient amount of rope and gags to maintain the peace and quiet characteristic of all Senior gatherings. Special Bequests; Helen Barber leaves her sweet disposition and popularity to Ruth Bullock. “Herb” Bell leaves his ability of being the unheard from element in Social Studies Class to Don Michon. “Bobbec” Bingham leaves her serenity to all those with pretest “jitters”. “Vicky” Breault leaves her secretarial troubles to Joan Norton. Dick Breen and Eddie Tracy leave their little nook in the fire-escape corner of 306 to George Brown and “Abe” Caruso. (Plenty of chalk and blackboard back there, fellows.) The large supply of typing paper that you can always see Margaret Burgess carting along is willed with a sigh of relief to her sister, Dottie. Use it sparingly, Dottie—think of the rest of the class! “Vince” Caruso leaves his shyness to Paul Fowler and Lawrence Sicko. Emma Castracani leaves her fame as “World’s Beauty” to Patsy Benoit. Nice going, Pat! Ann Clement leaves her love for square dancing and music and dancing in general to Stuart DeVoe. Larry Connery leaves his ability to keep up a good filibuster to any junior history class with the “do-one skip-one” answer technique. “Ruthie” Cozzens leaves her love for the Marines and the LaSalle fellows to her pal, Marian Cooper. They’re really “tops”, aren’t they, Marian? Of course, it would never do to forget Marge Curtin’s bequest of several packs of gum to her chum, Helen Dalton. It chews best in the middle of any class, Helen. Twenty-nine 1946 Fordian “Ted” Danusiar leaves his love for homework and his Latin books to Justine O’Connor with hopes that she will have a few classmates. Little Joan Finn leaves her love for the Marines to Eleanor Waterbury. To Dick Gillispie, Joanie Gorham wills her practice of dashing in just before the tardy bell. You have quite a record to live up to, Dick. Betty Hall and Susan Kelly leave their literary talent to Warren Theilemann. Arne Heggen leaves his well-filled little black book to Ken LeVan. Got room for it, Kenny? “Killer” Kline leaves six inches of his height to Ray Dudden. Now you can dance with the tall girls, Ray. Kay Kelvington leaves her seat in 306 to George Brown for obvious reasons. Marian Lear wills her enthusiasm for cheerleading, men, and dancing to Dottie Burgess. Marguerite Lemieux leaves her “boogie-woogie” and her love for the “Solid- Seven” to Dot Roberts. Don’t let them down, Dot. Betty and Dick request that some of their happiness be left to “Bud” Howland and that cute blonde, Joanie Stiles. Rod O’Connor leaves his excellent vocabulary and scholastic achievements to George Elemendorf. Also his love for Chopin, George Gershwin and Prof. Zelie. Charles Gurka leaves his monitor’s post and worries to Ray Jarvis. Fred Shovah leaves his curly locks to A1 Martin, not that A1 needs them. To Charlie Christopher, Irene Stah wills her pass and very comfortable seat on the school bus. Oh, yes! See if you can find it—she would like to be certain that there is one. To Wardell Schoonmaker, Cliff Tironi leaves his love for sports and his ever-present draft card. The Senior girls leave their fondness of basketball to the Junior girls. Make a basket for us, now and then, will you girls? To Marge Palmateer, Jean Willetts leaves her love for good jokes and history. Joan Costello leaves her long, dark hair to Dot Roberts. Take good care of it, Dot. Norma Atkinson wills to Alice Bobilin, her seat next to Vicky in History Class. Who’s taking Vicky’s place, Alice? Mary Ruth Spry leaves her ability in Math, to Richard Gillespie. Bruce Dick bequeaths to Wardell Schoonmaker his ability as a basketball player and as class president. Billy Holcomb leaves to Bill Chaput his undying thirst for work in shop classes. In conclusion, we, the Class of ’46, leave to all succeeding seniors a prosperous and happy future. Meant entirely for your enjoyment and in jest— (Signed) Irene E. Stah Witnesses: Chickf.ry Chick Hubba Hubba Chiquita Banana Harriet Thirty Waterford High School Mentor Jkopfjecp After trying for hours to write these little ditties, I consulted a Swami from one of the cities. To be sure of the truth, I paid him ten cents, To get the dope on all the ’46’s ladies and gents. Once by far the shyest in the class, Joan Gorham now has all the brass. Bill Holcomb said he had no special whim, But a beautiful blonde tempted him. And Ted Danusiar, the one man band, Never plays now, by Petrillo he was banned. Eddy Tracy, who thought his jokes the best, Was hanged to give his friends a rest. And Betty Martin, who is so small, Married a sailor handsome and tall. Vicky Breault with her beautiful eyes, Married a millionaire. Boy! was she wise. And Bruce Dick, so sensible and jolly. Is coaching now at Rensselaer “Poly”. Our richest classmate of all, Herb Bell, Made his money by being the “farmer in the dell”. Our handsome young blond, Dickie Breen, In his own supermarket now can be seen. And Harold Kline, so blond and slender, Runs a garage for fixing fenders. And Jean Willetts, who was so full of life, Has turned out to be a wonderful wife. It wasn’t hard to see Cliff Tironi’s profession, As a prize fighter he made his impression. Larry Connery, who was good in history, Went to Northside and it’s still a mystery. Mary Spry said she’d marry' a king— She married a farmer who had everything. Norma Atkinson who walked with such grace, Is now a model in Conover’s place. And Marge Curtin, who was a swell cheerleader, Works on a farm and is a first class weeder. Happy Kay Kelvington never strayed from town, I think it was because of a guy named Brown. 1946 Fordian Money was all Vince Caruso sought, Till he met the girl who changed his trend of thought. Charlie Gurka, who was of draft age, Wrote a book on the Army, all on one page. And Margaret Burgess, who plays the baby grand, Is now the leader of an all-girl band. Poor Arne Heggen, who looked like Napoleon, Is on trial for embezzlement ’cause he lost his samoleons. Fred Shovah was kind of tall in the past, He is now leading man in a Broadway cast. Rod O’Connor, a handsome lad, Is posing now for the collar ads. Helen Barber, that cheerful little girl, Is now on the radio with Milton Bcrlc. That cute little number, Joan Finn, Is advertising Pepsodent because of her grin. And Joan Costello, who made lots of noise, Writes Dorothy Dix’s column for Waterford boys. Smart Irene Stah, always so full of glee, Is candidate for the first woman presidency. But Susan Kelly, so poetically gabby, Died and was buried in Westminster Abbey. The best jitterbug in town, Marian Lear, Is teaching dancing in Rensselaer. A regular member of the canteen in Troy, Ruthic Cozzcns teaches dancing to each LaSalle boy. Popular Ann Clement who was so full of fun, Ran. for the title, “America’s Pep Girl”, and won. Charming Betty Hall who in studies had no fear, Is the President’s aid for a dollar a year. Emma Castracani who was a beauty, all hours, Now is a cover girl for Conover and Powers. Marguerite Lemieux, our class artist was she, Is more famous than even Rembrandt could be. Bobbee Bingham who had a playroom for all, Now is running a recreation hall. Any more information would take too much time, And, besides, I don’t happen to have another dime. So thus, ends the Swami’s prophecy Of what the Class of ’46 some day will be.

This system was introduced to promote experience in citizenship. One week before the election prospective voters registered in their homerooms. Candidates for Senate were chosen by means of class referendums and on election day the gym was set up as a polling place where all the classes assembled to cast their ballots . Later, for the first time, the entire high school voted for the Senate President. One of the chief projects of the year was the Point System Merit Award. Among our outstanding activities were the Variety Show, which was held during the Seventh War Loan; the successful Christmas project, which raised funds for the Save the Children Federation Drive; and the annual inter-class basketball game; a handbook to guide the incoming seventh grades has also been one of the greater projects during the year. A program of weekly assemblies was set up. Clean-Up Week was revived this spring and the Senate closed its year of activities with the annual tradition “Lc Club Senat”.

Their season record was nine w'ins and seven losses. Playing some of the outstanding class C teams, Waterford has proven itself quite capable of holding its own. Losing to Hoosick Falls, a team which has beaten both Lansingburg and Cohoes, proved to be the defeat which ruined a chance for Waterford High School to be in the sectional playoffs at Saratoga. The team: Jack Ryan, Rod O’Connor, Cliff Tironi, Capt. Bruce Dick, Warded Schoonmakcr, Harold Kline, Arne Heggen, Richard Breen, Don Michon, George Brow-n, Fred Shovah.

Waterford High School junior Uarsittp This year’s Junior Varsity, with many inexperienced players, has not had a very successful season. Although not winning many games, the team showed much spirit and fight. Outstanding through the colorful season was the playing of the Freshmen who are sure to be the future varsity players. Two outstanding victories of our J.V. were the defeats of the previously unbeaten Berlin J.V. and the one-sided victory over our rival, Heatly J.V. W.H.S. Oppon’ts W.H.S.

The team’s record w’as four w'ins, three losses and three ties. With the majority of the starting eleven back for another year at W.H.S., we’re sure Coach Morris can put out an excellent team to represent the high school in area competition.
