WE TOO HAVE FRONTIERS The time has come for us all to say good-bye. lt seems impossible that our high school days are almost over. Was it not only yesterday that we were bewildered freshmen? We really cannot believe that four years have gone: but as we come nearer to graduation, we know it is true. lt would be wonderful if we could all stay together, the Class of '49, forever and ever. Vvle could help each other surmount the barriers that we shall meet in later life. Like our forefathers, the forty-niners of the Gold Rush. whose centennial we celebrate this year, we have new lands to conquer and new frontiers always appearing on our road to success. We must keep pushing back these frontiers until we come upon the calm, cool water of prosperity. as our ancestors extended boundaries ever westward until they came upon the blue. placid waters of the Pacific. We have the task of making world peace and harnessing atomic energy. These are the frontiers before us, and we. the Class of 1949, must conquer them like our forefathers of 1849, who overcame the obstacles of wind, dust, forests. heat and cold on their westward journey. RUTH POOLE JUNIORS' FAREWELL TO THE SENIORS The day has come and the world you face: We. the juniors, take your place As the proud. staunch seniors of Watervliet High. To departing seniors, we bid goodbye. You'll soon be part of 'Vliet's Hall of Fame: Youve struggled for greatness since the day you came. XVe'll lack your presence in our long, bright hall: Goodbye, dear seniors, We'll miss you all. The day you've awaited has now arriv:d-- The day you've worked for, studied and strived: And now when you're leaving with many a sigh, We wish you good luck, good health and goodbye. ROBERT N. NOLAN ,...-f- --:zui'!1-- WATERVLIET HIGH SCHOOL is for Watervliet, your school and mine: is for all that we have learned there: is for teachers. understanding and kind: is our elation, so well did we fare. is for roadway. ours soon we must choose stands for vacate. these halls soon We must is for learning. with that who can lose? means illusions of grandeur and lust. is for evident, the success of our days: is for truth. our by-Word always. is for happy, we have all been: is for inklings of history we'll make. means that gainful our stay has been: is for honorable. the pathway we'll take. stands for school. forget it we'll never: is for the classes we're leaving behind: is for highest, that our aims ever: means obliging. we're helpful and kind. is for obedient, that also are we: stands for laughter. so gay and carefree.

HI TORY or THE When September of '45 becomes renowned in history. there'll be no need to wonder why: Because that was the memorable date when the class of '49 Grst entered the halls of Vv'atervliet High, We were shy. timid freshmen. but proud neertheless. as we sat in the auditorium that day. We were soon given homerooms and schedules were arranged: we started to classes. but got lost on the way, We searched for the fourth floor and broke the speed limit--seemingly a typical , freshman class: And when ten weeks' tests loomed grimly before us. our first fear tingled our spines ---would We fail--or pass? Art Normandin and Phil Trimble were our vice-president and president: and Dick Fleck. our money man: Liz Patzarian. reporter. and Anna Toma. our secretary--better officers find if you can. There were debuts on the J.V.'s-cheerleading. tooewwith John Kennedy. Lou K - ' ' Paley. Marion and Melvine. Student council play. Latin Club. gym demonstration. band and assemblies-see what I mean ' When I say that we were active freshmen-talented. good-natured and learning fast? Moving-up Day, final exams-no longer pea-green freshmen babies. but sophomores at last! It was. for the majority of us, good-bye to our first year English. to social studies nine and general science days: But it was hello to another year of fun-.1 new interest in sports. new classes. more dances and playsf In September '46 we were no longer strangers in the sacred halls of VJ. H. S. We were full-fledged sophomores. looked up to by the freshmen. but looking up to the seniors, we confess. Of course, a class needs offict.s and an adviser. whom we duly elected soon after the start of sch-ool came: Our sophomore president was none other then Phil, whose mark had already been left in our freshman hall of fame. Blonde. likeable Ruth Smith became our vice-president and Jane Sheehy gave our treasury a woman's touch: John Kennedy was elected secretary and the huge job of class adviser went to the I capable Mr. Collier. of whom we have come to think so much. ' We cheered for the newly-formed football team-supported it in victory and in defeat: We rooted for Mr. I-Iill's soccer team talohn. Lou and Terrill representing our classl to beat nearly every team we did meet. Hi-Y and Thalian our presence soon knew after a hectic period of initiation: Yes, we were really making our mark in life--a class truly worthy of imitation! Sport night was presented and our sophomore girls showed their basketball skill 'r With Pat Gilbert, Gloria Ford. Fran Postulka and .Ioan Rancourt showing good form on the athletic bill. The sophomore-senior party was our first great social event-a hugh success. to be sure: you can look east or west But you'll find no sophomore class to equal ours-ours which was the best. After what seemed an unbelievably short time. the end of the year came into view With another moving-up day. as we gay. young sophomores became jolly juniors. faithful and true. Yes. although we found it difficult to believe. there were two years behind us when we returned to school rin the fall. Once again we engaged in the delightful repetition of electing class officers to lead us through all That might come. Need I tell you who was our president that year? That's right. it was Phil again: CLASS OF 1949 Yes, Phil. whose friendliness and good leadership had won him inter-class acclaim. once again at our helm did reign. Liz and Ruth. also previous officers. took over the duties of secretary and reporter: and Walt Nash was our new V. P.: Last. and certainly not least. came the department of treasury. which was handed to athletic John Kennedy. ' Of course, sports played a dominant role that year. with our guys and gals on every team In school. From football and rifle team to field hockey and girls' basketball-we were really on the beam. Christmas came and the junior play with it: we were a remarkable successf How our stars did shine! Shortly thereafter came the thrill of thrills-we selected our class rings with the brigih-t '49, The traditional batt.e of electing an A. A. president for the ensuing year was up to our candidatesg Our boys held a clean. gallant campaign with Harry D'Agostino the final victor. versus Fritz Field. who highly rates. Our Hyde Park trip. in the beauty of spring. a prominent place in our memories will hold. Our last event of the year. and by far the most memorable. as will be over and over retold, Was our farewell to the seniors we were to replace. at our enchanting Junior Prom. Where seniors attended their last high school formal after a hasty farewell to mom. We said good-bye that night with tight throats hoping we could live up to them and theirs: We began to realize the importance of being seniors-realized we had future cares. I As our senior year started. we began to envy the freshmen. with four more years to go' Our stream of seniors scarcely looked forward Io .caving these hallowed halls. into the world to flow. For the fourth and last time we elected class officers. To make his presidential record perfect. Phil was unanimously re-elected. John Kennedy became our vice-president and Bill Adams as treasurer we did elect: While Carolyn Anderson was voted the one to fill the position of secretary of the senior class. A school paper was a new venture for the seniors and for the school: the editor- Ruth Poole. a senior lass. The job of putting out a yearbook automatically became ours. so without hesitation We elected Steve Puzier to till the position of editor-in-chief of the Spectator - annual W.H.S. publication. The Senior play and Senior Ball were also ours to make provisions for: Our successes were remarkably outstanding-from the setting of the stage to the delightful atmosphere of the dance floor. As we now face commencement day. our thoughts turn ever backwtards to the years That we happily spent in Watervliet High: and as the time of college, business or homelife nears We think of those in W.H.S. to whom we owe the most: to our pal, Mr. Sanders. we give a vote of eternal thanks and to our Very able class adviser. Mr. Collier, to Mr. Wessing, our patient and helpful guidance director, and to all our Teachers and friends. we express our sincerest gratitude and appreciation. We who are on the verge of departure now know That we'll ne'er forget our happy days and pleasant associations of the little red school on the hill. no matter what we do or where we go. SYLVIA KNORRING. '49 i CLASS WILL As the school year starts to close, we find that it is about time for the Senior Class of '49 to draw up its will. Since we have some ine artists, we should be able to draw a good one. As you know. our class is totally out of its mind: otherwise, why would we be in school? Because of this. doctors refused to pronounce us sane and we almost went without a will. With the use of a little DUZ, we finally produced one 4DUZ does everythingj. The following manuscript, wholly and entirely, is the last will and testament of the Senior Class. We unanimously leave to the entire student body, without repudiation, the little red school house tin one piece we hopej. In case you don't want it, you are stuck with it. Most of all. we leave the library, which is our most important source of knowledge and entertainment. We have it on good authority that the best volume in the school is The Midget Gets the Chair or Small Fry by Edgar Allen Smoo. Fritz Field and Pat Bak, that charming young couple, pass on their secrets of success to Moose Kowalchyck and Carolyn Aylesworth.

'49 PERSONALITY DF YOUTH The personality of a school is many individual personalities combined into one-the distinct per- sonality of youth. As we look at a school, ours or any other. what are its most striking characteristics? Of course sports are on the agenda all year round with various phases of emotion and drama- the crispy tang of football air, the mechanical but energetic rhythm ofgcheerleaders, tense spectators. hoarse from cheering and determined players. There are classrooms with serious. in-tent students who automatically become laughing, care- free youths as' soon as dismissal bell rings. F John is beginning to realize that Mary has a pretty smile, and Jane is seeing Fred's broad shoulders in a new light. There are cokes at the corner store and teen-age jalopies of remarkable endurance. Numerous informal dances provide lively, inexpensive entertainment for jitterbug enthusiasts: and the flowing, graceful movements of waltzing couples mark the sedate, colorful settings of formals. An American school is American youth, and an American youth is a versatile person with more maturity and a deeper sense of responsibility than he is credited with. Youth is life-life in its richest form. SYLVIA J. KNORRING, '49 Sl CLASS PROPHECY 551 Park Avenue. New York City, New York March 2, 1969 Dear Liz. Yesterday, while window shopping along Fifth Avenue. I ran into an old friend of yours, Mary Boghosian. As we were talking over old times. she asked me if I ever heard from Liz Pat- zarian. I told her that we corresponded occasionally and that I'd promised to write and tell you all about the Inaugural Ball I attended last month. We spent the forenoon together, and after having lunch, I hurried home to dash off this letter to you. The ball was held in the new Crystal Room of the White House. where I was surprised to meet so many members of the class of forty-nine. Of course, you know that Phil Trimble is now serving his fourth term as president and that Bill Adams has again been appointed Secretary of the Treasury. I had rather a difficult time gaining entrance to the ball room, as secret service agents Lou Paley and Alex Howansky were carefully scrutinizing each guest as he entered. Once inside, however, I was thrilled by the lovely voice of Eleanor Catricala, accompanied by Adam Kachidurian and his band. I listened for a while, till I spied Armando Parente. now head of Save the Ladies chemical industries, sitting at a nearby table with those two popular models, Pat Bak and Melvine Scott. I had been talking with this well-known trio for only a few minutes when John Kennedy and Fred Field, famous Olympic stars in their day. claimed the girls for the next dance. I learned from Fred that Joan Ford, Ruth Smith and Bill Butler had done all the architectural work for the new ball room. And do you remember Marcia Zepf? She is now head of the Marilyn Hopson Hospital, but still the same old Marcia, even after twenty years. She told me that Henry McGrath and Carl Olson are both in the hospital with house-maids knee. Can you imagine! Surveying the crowd once again. I spied a group of notables around the punch bowl. Of course I didn't have to look twice to see that it was Frank Charles, Gene Mongiello, Warren Schelde and Ed Daley. I wasn't long in finding out that they were the president's newly appointed kitchen cabinet. I wonder what kind of utensils they'll make! Liz. you should have seen the way private detectives John Moore and Walter Krage were weaving their way through the crowd. Just like Sherlock Holmes! They seemed to focus their attention on Alice Kapela and Rosemary Gunsalus, two well-known actresses. lDo you remember Rosemary's reading Lady Macbeth in Miss Fortanier's English class back in '49?! I was surprised to see Carolyn Anderson and Pat Gilbert at the ball. The last I heard. they were both in Europe. representing the American Athletic Association lthe girl's association, of coursel. Carolyn told me that Ed Hughes is the ,new mayor of Watervliet and that it was through his influence that President Trimble put Watervliet on the map. Also, to my surprise I saw Eleanor Scocca, Dorothy Fedorchak. Mary Ciepcielinski and Catherine Bak. the former debs of Watervliet. I noticed a crowd had assembled over by the door to have pictures taken. The photographer was none other than George Woodin, with his capable assistant, Marilyn Rettie. You probably saw the picture on the cover of Strife Magazine. Steve Puzier is really doing a fine job as editor-in-chief: isn't he? And Liz-have you read Mary Celeone's gossip column lately? It's really outrageous! Well, getting back to the ball, about ll :45 Rickey and Marian Deratzian got up on a table and sang their version of Stormy Weather -much to the enjoyment of several members of the Cabinet who allegedly were discussing Harry D'Agostino's atomic theory. At the close of their song, I talked with Marian for a few minutes and then decided it was about time I left for home. I took a helicopter to the airport where I just caught the last jet for New York. As I relaxed on the soft sea-foam cushion invented by Tom Flannery, I turned to find that my traveling companion was Frank McCarthy, our ambassador to Russia. Also on the plane was Walter Nash, now an airline official, too old to pilot, but still up in the air. Walter informed me that starting next week. the air rates will be six and one-half cents higher because of the fact that Warren Page, president of the airlines, needs a new car. Well, Liz, that's about all the news for now. I hope you'll be able to make the class reunion in June. though I know your grandchildren keep you pretty busy. .y Sincerely yours, FRANCES MCGHIE THE FUTURE BEGINS When you come to the end of your high school years And you wonder what lies ahead. Your heart is heavy: your eyes sting with tears. For you long for days that are dead. There's a satisfaction. but what use is that When high school fun's gone and past? You can remember, but what good is that NVhen you face the world so vast? Well, this is the end of our senior year. And the start of a journey. too: Childhood is past: the future looms near With a hope for success anew, For the future holds rewards of the past For the work that was well done: And we find, in the years that have gone so fast. A right to the future we've won. SYLVIA J. KNORRING A CONFUSING MGRNING As the rays of the sun peeked through my window. I buried my head deeper in my fluffy pillow. Darn that sun. Did it have to get up so early? After I had tossed and turned for ten whole minutes. the alarm twhich was so loud you could have heard it two blocks awayj finally attempted ton convince me that it was time to get up. This rousing reminder wasn't convincing enough, however, so I stayed in bed for another five min- utes. It was my dog that succeeded in making up my mind for me when he jumped on the bed and started to affectionately lick my face. That was dennitely the last straw. I cautiously put one foot on the cold floor, only to pull it quickly back under the covers. Next I ventured to put the other down. This foot found the rug. so I bravely dashed from my cozy bed and hastened to splash icy water in my face in an attempt to drive away all signs of Morpheus. I then found my way to the kitchen. where I put the coffee on ,and started two slices of bread on the way to toast. A thought began to dawn. What was I going to wear to school that day? I chose my new blouse with the ruffle and my grey skirt-a perfect combination. Alas, while pressing them I remembered that I had worn them the previous day. and to wear the same things two days in a row was unthinkable. After rummaging through the closet, I finally found some- thing suitable. Oh. dear. where were my white socks? I found them, only to discover a hole defiantly staring at me. After an extensive search. I spied the pin cushion. Yes, believe it or not. there was a needle there. A hunt for my shoes was next on the agenda. but a peculiar odor floated into my nostrils. It was the toast! What a smoke screen! While running to separate toast and toaster, I tripped over the lost shoes. Thoroughly discouraged. I threw the toast out the window and poured out the ready-to-boil-over coffee. Breakfast over and other preparations for school complete, I quietly tiptoed to mother's room to ask for some change to buy my lunch. She looked at me and heard my request: then she burst out laughing-yes, laughing at me. her daughter. After coming out of her hysterics. she enlightened me by telling me something that made me so-oo-o angry. It was Saturday. I wasted no time in getting bac o bed-a fitting climax for a confusing morni . Q 1 PIL, ' JOAN LAUREN, '51 M! d SMARION DRZEURECKA ' - A' i .

In the past three years we have had many experiences. After collecting dues in our freshman year. we put on a grand success in our sophomore year when we gave a party in honor of the juniors. This year we gave a Christmas ii play, as is the duty of the junior class. and it was another success on our list. VJe did not have too much trouble picking out our rings: and we were proud to wear them until we gave our first formal dance, the June Prom, when some of the boys gave them away.

A journalism class was started this year, and it was decided that we should make practical application of the knowledge we had acquired. Therefore, we all put our heads together and wrote until our pencils were worn right down to the eraser. However, our efforts were not in vain. for we really did publish a paper: and after the first, we published another, another, and another- each better than the one before it. Our dreams had come true-we had done something which we wanted very much to do. Now our hope and wish is that each class will keep on publishing the Garnet and Gray . ' 1 ill!

This is not an easy task. for. although every sophomore. junior or senior girl is eligible to join. she must possess certain qualifications. To begin with, the girl must have a certain number of points in physical education. She must not have failed a subject. lf she has. she may counteract this by three honor marks. After this, the girl has to be approved by three members of the faculty who know her. Her name is then received for approval or disapproval. The new leader is then asked to a meeting. where she will be formally initiated. After this, the girl is now privileged to wear her white suit. This year the Leaders' Club has accepted into membership four seniors. one junior and three sophomores. Ask any of this year's freshman girls who attended the hot dog roast, and they will tell you that it was a big success. This is not the only thing the Leaders' Club has planned for the schedule and hope to carry them through with the generous help of Miss Lecomte. To her. we sax' thank you for her efforts in helping us in our accomplishments.

Two years ago last fall, a new sport, field hockey, was introduced at Watervliet High, and since then it has become increasingly popular. The players all agree that when the hockey technics and rules are once mastered, the game proves to be a very interesting and exciting one. When it became too cold to go out, the volleyball nets were set up. Each class was divided into teams, and there was a tournament to find the best team in each class. This proved to be a lot of fun. Before long the Christmas vacation had come and gone and this meant only one thing-it was time for basketball. The girls practiced basketball technics and played games during the class periods. Since basketball is the most popular girls' sport, a large group of girls attended after- school classes. The teams which played various area schools were picked according to the ability of the player and the number of times she attended the after-school classes. When the snow was off the ground and weather had become warm enough to go out, the girls played softball. The Leaders' Club sponsored a playday in May. Several area schools attended this playday. Many individual sports were also taught during the year, the main one being swimming. Classes were held on Wednesday at the Troy Y. W. C. A. pool. The group was divided into three classifications: beginners, intermediates and advanced swimmers. The other individual sports of the year were tennis. archery, modern dancing and badminton. the last two of which were newcomers to the sports program. Tumbling. square dancing, ping- pong and shuffle board were among the other minor activities offered. The gym demonstration in the spring was the highlight of the year's activities. An exhibition of all the girls' sports was given in this program. All the girls enjoyed their classes and appreciated Miss Lecomte's interest and hard work in producing a program which was both interesting and varied. CAROLYN ANDERSON RADIO PROGRAMS OF W. H. S.
