Ex Libris ECHOES published by the Senior Class of 1934 Watkins Glen High School Watkins Glen, New York Foreword Our Watkins Glen, a place of echoes and whispering shadows, an elfland set in the typical surroundings of a twentieth century village, symbolizes the purpose of this book: to create for you in the years to come a gallery of echoes of the past, the past enriched by memories of friends and comrades, of victories and defeats. We, the 1934 “Echoes” staff, hope that in the years to come you may “hear the echo soft repeating of these happy and eventful days.

Endless their echoes may be: Kind deeds must ever betoken Hearts that are loyal to Thee. Page Seventeen 1 9 3 4 ECHOES 1 9 3 4 BACK ROW—Personius, Stone.

Mr. Depew was selected as class advisor, and the following students were elected to class offices: President, Burr Stone; Vice-President, Anna Evans; Secretary, Ruth Hope; Treasurer, Neal Stamp; and Business Manager, Richard Personius. Our most important social event of the year was the annual Junior Prom which was held on Friday, April 13. For this occasion Mickey Kaye and his eleven-piece orchestra of radio fame furnished the music. The affair was a social as well as a financial success. This year the Junior Class was well represented in the Student Council. The following officers for the first half year were Juniors President, Clyde Cranston; Vice-President, Catherine Maloney; and Treasurer, Carol GrosJean. Many Juniors took part in athletics this year. Those who received letters in football were: Clyde Granston, Charles VanAmburg, Frank Nigro and Carol GrosJean. Clyde Granston and Joseph Hughey lettered in basketball, while James Nitche received a letter as assistant manager. Several Juniors are also reporting for baseball, track and tennis. As a whole the Junior Class lias tried to do its part in co-operat ing with the other classes in school activities and has been represented in almost every field.

Soph omore Class The Sophomore ('lass, composed of one hundred and twenty-three members, boasts of being the largest in the high school. It has tried to do its part in co-operating with the other classes in school activities. At the first meeting, Mr. Perry was chosen Class Advisor and the following officers were elected: President, Elmo Fordham; Vice-President, Robert King; Secretary, Yolanda Richardson; Treasurer. Elizabeth Lawton; Business Manager, Robert Mont.joy. These officers chose the following to help them: Theone Lyon, Dorothy Baker, Marjorie Johnson, Dorothy James, Linwood Millen, Murray Walsh and William Kessler. In social activities, the class has not vet had its important event of the year; however, it has formulated plans for a field clay to be held in the first part of June for the entire school in order to encourage inter-class competition. The Sophomore Class is proud that one of its members, Elmo Ford-ham, was on the varsity basketball team ibis year.

To carry out the former, officers are elected every half-year. The presidents for the four terms are respectively: Nellie Knowles, Doris iiappeleye, Ruth Vroman, and Hilda Tichenor. To encourage individual effort, pins are awarded to members who have lived up to certain standards. Some of these are: to act as chairman of a committee, to address a club meeting, to contribute to a social event, and to pay promptly all dues. Money for the pins is earned through luncheons, one of which was given for the Board of Education. The Club carries on many social activities for the purpose of training the members in poise and cultivated manners. An initiation ceremony for new members takes place every year. Once a month a social meeting is held. The most outstanding of these has been: a Christmas party for club members, a Valentine party to which each member brought a guest, and a picnic at Lakeside Park. Once a month an educational meeting is held; at one of these, Mr. Beers gave a talk on travel, and Miss Bennett a discussion on hygiene. Just before the Washington trip, a fashion show on travel clothes was presented with the Senior girls as guests. In conjunction with the Art Department, the club gave an entertainment which included a play and a fashion show. With part of the funds from these activities, the club plans to purchase some much needed equipment for the Home Economics Department. This club has been a training in parlimentarv law, as well as a means of developing initiative and willingness to accept responsibility All such organizations make for wider interests and the more “abundant life.” Page Twenty-two 1 9 3 4 ECHOES 1 9 3 4 BACK ROW—Cougevan, Pordham.

Student Council The first session of the 1933-34 Student Council was called to order with the following; officers in charge: President, Clyde Granston; Vice-President, Catherine Maloney; Secretary, Lucie Sciore; Treasurer Carol GrosJean; and SergOant-at-Arms, Fred Sebring. The first few meetings were devoted to minor but necessary details such as the rearrangement of by-laws. At the fifth meeting an important law was passed; any student receiving ten demerits for misconduct was to bo excused from school for one week. Many students, accused of' misconduct, were brought before the Student Council and given fair trial; carefully weighed and unbiased decisions were rendered in each case. The officers of the Athletic Association were chosen at this meeting. Later a contest was held to secure the best code of ethics drawn up by a student, the prize being awarded to Frank Henderson. Defeated in the election of officers for the first half, the Seniors retaliated in the mid-vear elections; the entire list of officers were chosen from the Senior Class. They were: President, Fred Sebring Vice-President, Betty Hunt; Secretary, Fred Hunt; Treasurer, Coralec Hicks; and Sergeant-at-Arms, Thomas Considine. These officers mini, diately administered a progressive reform of the corridor patrol Since then the number convicted of misdemeanors has steadily decreased, and the method of student control has become more effective. In summary of the accomplishments of the Student Council for the year, it might be said that, in spite of criticism, a more orderly atmosphere has prevailed than formerly. This year has witnessed more progress made toward the ideal of student government; whatever defects the Student Council exhibits may be accounted for by the nonsupport and non-cooperation of the student body as a whole.

Football Watkins Glen High School accomplished a marked degree of success in the football season for 1933. Of the nine games played, the team encountered six victories, two losses, and a scoreless tie. As a member of the Central Interscholastic Football League, Watkins Glen High School finished in second place. The first game of the season was merely a practice session for the Glen players. The other games were difficult especially in the case of Seneca Falls when the result was a scoreless tie, and the Bath and Owego games, our only defeats of the season. Some brilliant playing on the part of individuals was displayed in these games. In the first league game, Clyde Granston scored two touchdowns. Paul Churcher, Oliver Spaulding, and “Tow” Andrews played brilliantly in the second league game contest. Granston and Andrews starred in the Starkey game. In the game with Owego, the second defeat of the season, Andrews, playing with a bad ankle achieved our only touchdown. With the end of the 1933 season, the third year in which football has been played at Watkins Glen was brought to a close. Under the leadership of Coach Blake, fool ball has returned as a prominent part of the athletic activities of the school.

In the Montour Falls game, Watkins showed a good offensive and an almost impenetrable defense. Watkins lost its game with Waterloo by a decisive defeat, but in the Owego game, the second league contest, the Watkins players achieved a tie which was broken by Owego only after three overtime periods. In its next league contest, Watkins easily outplayed its traditional rival, Elmira Heights. The second game with Starkey was lost after a hard struggle. Watkins Glen defeated Horseheads in a league contest, in which Alvin Spader, captain, played a brilliant game. The next game was lost to an old rival, Johnson City. The second round of the Southern Counties League started February 11, Watkins Glen defeating Montour Falls after a hard battle. The following week War-kins Glen, in a thrilling league contest, avenged an earlier defeat by Owego. On February 23, Watkins suffered its worst defeat of the season in a game with Elmira Heights. The team retaliated, however, by defeating Horseheads in a league contest. Our last scheduled game, played with Johnson City, was an overwhelming defeat, despite the fine playing of Bartone and Spader.

Girls’ Basketball The girls’ basketball team of 1933-34 proved generally successful, in spite of the fact that it was organized under somewhat unfavorable circumstances. At the beginning of the year, no provisions were being made for a girls’ team and it was practically decided that there would be none, chiefly because of the lack of finance. However, the group that was interested consulted Mr. Beers and Mr. Blake about the matter. Although it had not been the custom for the girls to make the trips on the bus with the boys, it was decided that this could be done and thus, most of the extra cost would be eliminated. The team was very capably managed by Lucille Hunt, assisted by Fannie Millen. A new system was administered, that of having co-captains (Eunice Mills and Doris Sherrer) instead of only one as was the usual system. The squad, consisting of about twenty-five girls, put forth every effort to secure co-operation among themselves and tin coaches. Their efforts proved successful, resulting in four victories out of seven games played. The members of the team were as follows: Alice Jackson, forward, three years; Doris Sherrer, forward, three years; Eunice Mills, center, two years; Marie McKenna, side center one year.

Under Coach Blake’s expert training, the team rapidly rounded into early season form. Watkins Glen played a practice contest with Odessa, in which the Glen players were held in check by a good Odessa pitcher. On April 27, the team journeyed to Horseheads and defeated this old rival, by a 16-3 score. The Watkins Glen players demonstrated that they could hit the ball in this contest, thus prophesying some interesting games in tin future.

William Cougevan was appointed manager and Mr. Perry coach. Many experienced veterans of last year’s team comprise the squad, and the high school is thus assured of being well represented in tennis competitions. Although no contests have been played as yet, manager Cougevan has arranged matches with Cook and Penn Yan, and games with Horseheads and Geneva are pending. Later in the season the team will compete in a sectional tournament at Binghamton.

The meeting was held immediately, probably due to the enthusiasm displayed by the girls. They were divided into two groups, the junior and senior high school, and the following elections resulted: Marie McKenna, captain of the senior high team; Jacqueline Warrick, captain of the junior high team: Donna Lilley, manager of both teams. Mr. Blake is acting as the coach and supervisor of the entire squad. Practically the same number of girls came out this year as last about twenty-five in all. Many of last year’s players “turned out” again this season very eager to improve upon their game. It is expected that the girls will advance more rapidly than before, since last year was their first experience. They are all intensely interested, and it is believed that there is much potential ability in the teams. They are working diligentlv, practicing twice a week. No games have been arranged as yet; but it is expected that within a very short time, the manager will have made a schedule of games with Starkey, Dundee. Odessa, Cook Academy. Return games will be played with all of these. The first of these will take place as early as the middle of May. Everything at the present points toward a very successful season. Girls’ sports should be placed on the same plane of importance as those of the boys. Page Twenty-nine 1 9 3 4 ECHOES 19 3 4 BACK ROW—Harvey. Waters. Spencer. SECOND ROW—Bauer. Considine, F.

During this year dramatics held their own in school activities: when a school like Watkins Glen High takes dramatics seriously, that school has taken a step froward. The seniors formed a dramatic club with sixteen members and shown some capability and talent in plays or public speaking before being admitted to the Club. Mrs. Josephine 13. Doyle of the faculty was chosen as the advisor because of her fine coaching of past productions. She has always proved the most able director, and the Club sincerely thanks her for the success which it has enjoyed. A debate, “Resolved that Halitosis Is a Greater Menace to Mankind Than Dandruff,” was given in assembly; it was called back by request for the P-T. A. Dance. During the Christmas season, “Fiat Lux,” a Greenwich Village play, was well received by the large audiences that saw it. “Submerged,” coached by Mrs. Doyle, is credited with being the first tragedy to be played in this school; it gained popularity at tlie P-T.A. Dance. Then came the annual senior play, “Sweet Sixteen,” directed by Miss Marion Flagler, who has been active in so many dramatic presentations during her teaching here. The play was a typical family tale, with its bits of comedy and pathos, a down-to-earth domestic comedy. It was splendidly acted by the cast and carefully directed by Miss Flagler. Dramatics during the past year have been given great impetus by our two directors, Mrs. Doyle and Miss Flagler. This year’s accomplishments have definitely proven the importance of dramatics in school activities. Dramatic Page Thirty Senior Play Cast BACK ROW—Slater, Stamp. Considine. Perscnius, Waters.

Page Thirty-three 1 9 3 4 ECHOES 19 3 4 In Tribute The accepted forms of expression seem trite and we become incoherent, when we attempt to formulate our gratitude to Mrs. Doyle. A woman skillful as a teacher and as a friend is leaving this high school next year. It is impossible to describe in broad and general terms such a versatile person; the range of her interests is boundless. Mrs. Doyle has accomplished a great deal in promoting dramatics here; she has discovered much individual talent in this field. Besides coaching various plays, she has been Faculty Advisor to the Dramatic Club. In this position she has raised dramatics to their proper status as an important part of school activities. She has also discovered talent along other lines among her students. Under her influence, an occasional poet has blossomed forth and ceased to “waste its sweetness on the desert air” of a prosaic world. Through the medium of Oral English Daily, many an erstwhile sober individual has established a reputation for wit Through her own fine literary taste, Mrs. Doyle has instilled in the majority of her pupils a like feeling for good literature. Every student has been given an opportunity to express himself in some manner; and Mrs. Doyle understands and appreciates the comic and tragic, alike. One seldom finds a teacher who takes so much interest in her pupils as individuals. The eternal “Prepared or Unprepared?” expresses her desire that each student be responsible for his record and accept the consequences if he is a slacker. Although she does not tolerate indifference, Mrs. Doyle understands and sympathizes with our individual problems. She is willing to sacrifice any amount of time and patience if a student sincerely trys to succeed. She, herself, is human enough to understand our frailities and mistakes; she can even sympathize with that strange malady called “spring fever”. Because of kindness, one can truthfully say that her friends include her acquaintances. Through Mrs. Doyle’s personal advice and influence, many students have found it possible to continue their education into higher fields of learning. To those individuals, only maturity will bring a full appreciation of her efforts. To whatever work Mrs. Doyle may turn her talents in the future the Senior Class wishes her the best of success and happiness. With her background of study and experience, she will find new fields of interest and creative work. Above all, we hope that, as she said, “It will not be saying good-by.” Page Thirty-four 1 9 3 4 ECHOES 1 9 3 4 Alumni OMITTED PROM 1933 YEAR BOOK Herbert Morgan.
