Circulation in the library mounts steadly as new books are added to till up empty shelves. No, this isn't the transcription de- partment of a large corporation despite the business-like atmos- phere. These young typists will be industrious othce workers or maybe they just study typing be- cause it is a valuable thing for everybody to know.

The Junior-Senior High School Cafeteria is the scene of much activity during the period from 11:35 to 1:10. The room has a seating capacity of about 200 and it is necessary for students to eat in relays. The first group is composed of all students who have a study period at that time and do not go home for lunch. Seventh, eighth and ninth graders may eat from 12:10 to 12:50. During the last lunch period Q1235-1:10j all students above the ninth grade may use the cafeteria. The insert shows the cafeteria counter in the kitchen.

Below ght MUS Music is one of the most popular subjects in school. The Music Department is comparatively new but un- der the leadership of Messers. Schnell, Paskevich and Sautter has achieved considerable success. We present herewith a few of the music highlights of 1938-39. The smartly uniformed fifty-live piece band, now in its tsecond year, has won new laurels. Going from the beginners Class D ro the highly competitive Class B, they this year won 1 rating at the sectional contest and went on to the state finals. W. A.

V ATHLETICS The Wliitesboro Central School has been es- pecially well favored athletically for the last few years. A rare combination of good material and excellent coaching has resulted in W. C. S. having the outstanding teams of the Upper Mohawk Valley Athletic League. Wlietlier we can continue this excellent record is problemat- ical but W.C.S. holds high hopes for the future Allen G. Frye, head of the Physical Education Department, coached all varsity sports.

The team next fought a nip and tuck battle with Proctor but finally blotted out a O-O encounter from the year be- fore. Competition was not serious from this point up to the Frankfort game which ended in our favor, 13-6. Then just to do things right and establish a little tradition which we hope will be continued next season, the boys slashed out a 66 to 7 defeat over Hamilton. The foundation of the Whitesboro team was an experienced varsity, eager and willing substitutees, a good coach, and a s:udent body that backed them up. These same factors should win another league ch impionship nex: year. C. S.

Senior Service Club The Senior Service Club was organized in September, 1938, with Frederick Hollister, head of the Social Science Department as sponsor. Its sole purpose is to do everything that it can and may for the benefit of the Whitesboro Central School and its student body. During the current year its members served as ushers at every afternoon and evening affair held in the school. These included P. T. A. meetings, basketball games, banquets, plays, speaking contests, etc. The club also has super- vision over the school's monitor system and noon and afternoon dismissals. Some members will have performed more than 100 hours of service by the end of the school yC21l'. Marion Hughes. Senior Service Club President, ushers two P. T. A. members to their seats.

The junior Service Club was organized because of a decided need for patrols before school in the morning, at noon time and after school at night. These con- scientious vvorkers often arrive as early as 8 o'clock in order to be present to open necessary doors and do other early morning duties. The entire student body and fac- ulty realize the importance of this work and junior Servicers are highly respected by young and younger alike. Mr. Howard McCabe of the Science Department is sponsor. President Pare, makes assignments for hall duty. door custodian, etc.. to his jun- ior Service Club. Membership increased so rapidly that it was necessary to hold this meeting in the library.

One of the major events of the school year is the production of the Senior Play. Second in dramatic importance is the Upper Mohawk Valley Drama League Contest which this year was held at Whitesboro. Both of these events are regularly super- vised by Miss Dorothy Dey of the English Department. We also have a Senior Dra- matic Club, a junior Dramatic Club, and a Radio Broadcasters Club. The latter two are sponsored by Miss Reiman and Miss Roschek, respectively. We present herewith a few scenes from the year's dramatic offerings.

Its price is forty cents a year or five cents a copy. The Wisp recently celebrated its tenth an- niversary. It is sponsored by Miss Louise Koory of the Commercial Department. The School Annual is published once a year under direction of Mr. Frederick Hollister, head of the Social Science Department and is produced by the junior Class. Its name is Che-ga-quat-ka, which is the Indian name for Whitesboro. WISP One of the biggest jobs is to cut ac- curate, well-spaced stencils. Serious as the job is. our girls take it with a smile.

Mrs. Billingham has her hands full with this lively group of junior Library Club members, By the time they enter Senior High School they will be full-fledged student librarians. The Future Farmers of Amer- ica hold a banquet-and a big success it was too. The junior Readers write book reviews-just for fun. too. Junior High students who enjoy reading are members of this organization. And I'll take this one, says grinning Bob Burkhart. The Sen- ior Game and Puzzle Club de- votes a period to playing cards. The junior History Club hard at work on one of their many proj- ects. This organization was lucky indeed to secure so able a sponsor as Miss Maxwell. Nice work, Dick, the members of the Model Airplane Club gather around Richard Moore and admire his latest creation. These boys are supervised by Mr. Howe and have built some very nice models.

Miss Reinman's junior Dramatic Club read a play in preparation for a coming production. It's too early to say which of these youngsters will be the Tom Mort or Bea Comstock of 1942. BASKETBALL No good! John Misiaszek flips one toward the basket but Car- thage's number 7 blocks it. The Carthage team played nice ball but not quite nice enough. Bill Deming has just taken the ball from the backboard and is ready to pivot and pass to Bud Gifford or Milt Smith who seems to be free. How many hands on this ball? We count five and three of them belong to Whitesboro lads. Nice going boys! Lowville shouldn't have a chance against that kind of playing and they didn't. Congratulations, says Principal Frederick W. Crumb to Captain Vaccarro of Rome as Captains Stonehouse of Frankfort and Smith of Whitesboro smile as they grasp their own trophies after the tournament. Wfhitesboro played all its league games without a single defeat. For the fourth consecutive year, the Blue and Wlmite copped the league championship. This gave us one leg on a new trophy. The Whitesboro team was one of the highest scoring teams in this section. Five times we rang up a total of 50 points or over. Compared with last year, Wliitesboro increased its total score by 54 points, and its average by 12 points. The opponents' total score was decreased by 167 points and the average by 4 points. Probably the two best games during the regular season were those played with the non-league teams, Christian Brothers Academy and Utica Free Academy. Credit must be given to the Utica team for it was the only one to de- feat Whitesboro in 16 starts. The game was decided by a matter of one point which could have gone either way. The regular season was followed by a tournament held in the W. C. S. gym. XWhitesboro and Rome were the fa- vorites but W. C. S. was defeated by an excellent Frank- fort team on a night when they were hot and W. C. S. was only too, too cold. Rome went on to win the event with Frankfort taking second place and Whitesboro third. W. C. S.

WE TEN YEARS LATER Dear Bob: Yesterday it was a dull day and the ball game had been called off, so rather than sit in the city ofiice and hear the editor's rasping voice and the steady staccato of the type- writers I headed for the fair grounds. ' The Washington Fair is supposed to be the best since the New York one in our Senior ear. Remember, Bob? This fair commemorates something or other-don't ex- Y actly know what. Upon arriving at the fair grounds, I showed the attendant, who was none other than our old classmate, Henry Kipers, my complimentary pass. I stopped and chatted with him for a while and he told me what some .of our friends are doing. He said that Raymond St. John, who never had had very much to say in our school days, is now a priest. Robert Waddell is the champion Typist of American and also a great politician on the side, and Jean Farley, Betty Clark, Leatha Alexander, Elizabeth Smith and Arlene Woodbury are taking part in the side show at the fair, here in Washington. Jean, he said, who you remember as being very tiny, has now grown to the amazing height of six feet, five inches and is being staged as the tallest woman in the world. Betty Clark and Leatha Alexander, two more of the little girls of .our senior class, are the strong women of the show, and Elizabeth and Arlene are featured as human skeletons . I then left Henry and being a sports Writer, I naturally headed for the Sports Arena. There I learned that Len Gifford had just hnished fifth in a field of five in the 100 yd. dash. His time was seventeen flat. Next came the women's 100 yd. dash. The two Rahn girls, Una and Virginia, came in first and second. How those girls rafhjnl Discus throwing for the women was the following event .Rosema.ry Martell and Aleatha Mab- bett had entered in this. Rosemary hnished first in this. Aleatha, who was eighth, said Rosemary won be:ause she is married now and has lots of practice at home with rolling pins! One of the features at the Sports Arena is the American Bowling Contest. Tom Cahill and Mel Brown had just rolled an all-time double record of 1429 to soar into first place on the last day of the tournament. I was told the auto races are to be held today and Slipery Steve Ciecko is the favorite. Heading for the theatre, I banged in an im- portant looking gentleman. It was Hank Wise. Hank had just been appointed by the President as chairman of the Wise and Means Committee. At the show, the Master of Ceremonies was noisy John Bisgrove. He int.roduced the Ballet Russe of girls whom he claimed were only two more than the Dionnes, but twice as cute. XVhen the seven strutted out on the stage, was I surprised to see Dorothy Casler, Clara I-lorigan, Doroihy Armstrong, Sarah Copperwheat, Betty Wind, Helen Gifford and Phyllis White. The next number on the program was big Hobart Rohman in his sweet tenor voice, singing, Roamin' in the Glomin' Then the Pare sisters stepped out and sang in their beautiful soprano voices an aria from Pagliacci. When they finished, three fellows in the back yelled Hip Hip, Parc . These were Bob Hauser, Charlie Plop- per and Jack Leach. These three fellows made a million a year, Hauser directing and Leach and Plopper playing the parts of Laurel and Hardy of the stage. A couple of years ago the three entertained movie fans as the Kitz Brothers. Next Fred Cary played 'lCarry Me Back to Old Virginny . The show ended to the tender tunes of Stanley Homka play- ing Boo Hoo on his wailing clarinet. Pushing my way to see Homka, I felt a hand on my shoulder. It was Margaret Sterling, the only woman on the Washington Police Force commanding me to stop. I pushed on, however, and found talking to Homka, Julian Baranowski, the slugger of the Washington Ball Club. After congratulating him for being the most valuable man on the Padulak Team last year, I hurried over to the Agriculture show. There I saw Frances Thomas lecturing to students on the Whys and Where- fores of Drinking Milk . Harry Anson had just won first prize, a blue ribbon, with his 50 cows. As I turned to leave, I spied Doris Evans and Marion Hughes, two farmwives from Vllest XVinfield, copping .ribbons for their chickens and ducks exhibit. They told me that Shirley Schug was now a pianist of some repute. As I left the Agriculture Building, I struck a match to light my cigar and I noticed by the plate in the building that Ann Merklinger had designed it. Walking away from the building, l met Ace Misiaszek. Ace is president of the fair. He told me that he made Jennie W'olak his secretary because he wanted her near. I was just thinking what a swell day I had had when I spotted Betty Andrew. She saw me at the same time and came running over. I was cornered! She is a news commentator now and she spoke to me about nothing at the rate of 400 words a minute fonly 10 more than she did in schoolj. She did tell me though that Betty Hoag and her mother had just won the Mother and Daughter Tennis Championship the day before, this was not sur- prising, however, for Betty and her mother had .always been a good team in our high school days. She told me too that Peggy Jewell and Elizabeth Watson were now living in New York City. Elizabeth had gone there to live because she wanted a change from her farm life and Peggy is now an entertainer in a night club. Just then I recalled that a banquet was being given at which Bob Williams was to be guest of honor. I excused myself and arrived at the banquet just in time for the desert and to see Bob presented with a trophy for being the most valuable man in pro football. Well that's all until I see you again, Bob. That will probably be next week some- time. Adios! Your old W. C. S. pal, ' JOHNNY COX, JC:IC East will and We, the class of 1939, being of fairly sound mind and memory do hereby make, publish, and declare this to be our last will and testament. We hope that our benehciaries will value these, our most valued possessions and idiosyncrascies, and will carry on to the best of their ability from where we left off. ' Sldlll Ill OF THE CLASS OF I939 Y47e feel proud of the marks Qof vari- ous kindsj that we have left in our school and we trust that those who follow will keep alive the various traditions such as singing or whistling in the halls, gum- chewing and handing in our home-work at least a week late. We have worked hard and against great odds Qask the facultyj to keep them alive for our predecessors and we hope that our successors will do the same for us. Jack Leach, the class heavyweight, will- ingly donates about 100 superfluous pounds to jack Willett to work off in football next fall. Louis Perra leaves the swing band without a leader, and speak- ing of dance music, Natalie Premo be- queaths a good share of her dancing abil- ity to Benny Siedsma, an up-an-coming jitter bug if there ever was one. Virginia Jones and Eleanor Hebard leave not too sadly all their worn-out song sheets to the future cheerleaders. Charlie Plopper and Fred Cary, the class cartoon kings, leave their ability to draw to Bob Burkhart in hopes that he will keep his class as amused as they did theirs. Ernie Broughton leaves to Mr. Mowry and his future tillers of the soil all his live stock, while Bob White and Warren Plopper will to Kenneth Broadhurst a knowledeg of electricity that will come in handy at any time. This was a shock to some of us. Bob Williams, john Misiaszek and Carmen Cirasuolo leave three vacancies in next fall's football team that will be pretty hard to fill. Henry Wise and Chester Sielagowski leave their posts as basketball manager and football manager, respectively, to jack Agen and an as yet unnamed heir. Ken Vincent bequeaths his skies, poles, bindings, and, above all, his abil- ity, to Betty Schiedleman who had better take advantage of his generosity while she is still physically able. Donald Daviau 1118 poundsj leaves his beligerant atti- tude to Lawrence Broadhurst. Don has been assaulting poor Jack Leach Q28 pounds, all year long. Ted O'Connor will gladly bestow his car upon anyone who wants to start a junk yard, while Polly Parrot, the class chaf- feur, leaves parts of his poor Ford strewn all over the back drive way where they dropped from over-exertion. jenny Wolak leaves her intelligence to any underclassman who thinks he could use it fprobably someone will get hurt in the scramblej. jean Wells, another mas- ter-mind, leaves to the school some of the highest marks that have been achieved in a long time. Tom Mort wills his acting ability to Mary Gray, while Tom Cahill leaves quietly with his characteristic blush. Catherine Baird and Joan Wurz leave with their wooden shoes clattering after them. To Miss Luckey, johnny Cox uninten- tionally leaves some gray hairs and also a hope that the worst has come-and finally gone, while Burt Jones leaves with a long sigh of relief, but wefre pretty sure of one thing-Burt had a good time dur- ing these four years. Tom Carr, after all his laborious efforts, leaves the lab in tip-top shape for next year's science victims. Ray Keniston be- queaths his bashfulness to Dick Moran in hopes that it will calm Dick down a little. Yt7illiam Leach, Margaret Schrader and Ya7alter Hamlin leave their quie ness as a pattern for George Millson and Sokes Rahn to follow. Larry Dedell leaves his mischievousness to George Dillon. The combination should cause plenty of head- aches next year. Nan johnson donates her red hair to Mr. Hollister. She thinks he would look nice in red. Margate: Sterling, another .red head, bequeaths her lofks to james Miner. Perhaps he can use it later in life when his own begins to disappear. Mary Lupa presents her artistic ability to Gerald Murphy. To Carol Cary, Eva Parent gives her dancing ability. Not that she needs it, but the combinaticn should make Carol pretty popular next fall. Ma.rion Hughes willingly leaves her seat by the door in room 28 to the next un- fortunate person who sits there. That par- ticular door is opened no less than once every two minutes. Winifred Emery leaves her roller skat- ing ability to Shirley Harrington. Perhaps it will help a little in keeping Shirley on her feet when she goes skating. Doris Evans bequeaths to Milt Burns her worn out fountain pen. Now you won't have to borrow one, Milt. Evelyn Moran wills her good humor to various members of the faculty. Of course they don't need it, but it may come in handy in the future. To Artie Christ goes Dorothy A,rmstrong's oratorical powers. Maybe next year there will be a few more boys going out for prize speaking than there have been in the last few years. Selena West hard-heartedly leaves Herman Krol all by himself in the bass violin section of the band. Rose Guido leaves her library job to anyone who is named by the library club to take over. Dorothy Cox doesn't leave anything to anyone, but instead she takes with her a remarkable knowledge of mathematics and a desire to teach math some day. More power, Dot. Mildred Yerdon and Rachel Parc leave as quietly in june as they came four years ago, but, we hope, much wiser and with many pleasant memories. Stella Soltys, queen of the speedway, wills her driving prowess to Acey Tannery. If Acey had only rezeived this inheritance about five or six months ago, he would probably still be driving a LaSalle around. Virginia Wylam leaves her knowledge of Economics as a guiding light for next year's students. To some unsuspecting Freshman Irene Cave passes on her col- lection of corney jokes and puns, while Loretta Kenney, Angeline Montecalvo and Edith Mier leave Alice Callahan and Doris Murray to make up for the noise they didnlt make. To ,lack Spink, William Rowlands leaves his hopes of getting tall. Perhaps they will help jack to grow as tall as Bill some day. Nelson Clark leaves his need of a shave to Louie Parent, and if you've gat any old razor blades, Nelson, you can throw those in too. We have other things to bequeath but lack the time, the inclination and the am- bition to list them, so we'll just take them along with us. We can already see the glad faces of our beneficiaries as they read this parchment and find the generous things we have willed to them.

Class Hisiory Into the Whiresboro Central School In '35 we came XV e were green and trembling, All Freshmen are the same. Because we were a sociable set A party seemed the thing, On Hallowe'en we danced and shrieked And made the Old School ring. As Sophomores we gloried in our power And made the Freshies squirm. Our skating party made us ache, Our teachers said, They'll learn. Our stronghold, homeroom number 2 Was anything but quiet. Mr. Knutty couldn't keep the peace, And didn't seem to try it. 'rt-in FRANKLIN Pluiss, UTtcA, N. Y. l l Our junior year was real fun - And though our Treasury was depleted, A dance, and then a skating party Proved our treasurer hadn't cheated. February found us in our new school, As proud as we could be. We published the first junior annual Our rings were handsome things to See. Our Senior dances were great fun. The money flowed in streams. We put our salesmanship to the test By selling magazines. The Senior Play was entertaining Our Classmates acted well But none were more surprised than they At the applause as the curtain fell. Now we've reached the end of the road Regents and commencement are near. But we'll always remember, come what may, V Our high school days so dear. I ef' ,4-
