OTIS NOYES Plattsburg State Normal School Plattsburg, New York Senior Speakers Thedra Oliver Oakley Dabv Junior Marshals Elsie Rand John Cost in The Class of 1938—Its History As the clays roll by, bringing us nearer to that memorable evening ot Commencement, the senior class recalls memories of past school days. 1 he Freshman Class was organized in 1934 with Mrs. Avis Norton, a former English teacher, as class advisor. The following officers were elected: President, ()akley Daby; Vice President, Mary Martin; Secretary-Treasurer, Walter Mero. The Class held several enjoyable parties and presented a one-act play, “'I'he Cat’s Whiskers”, under the direction of Mrs. Norton. I he cast for the play included Mary Martin. Walter Mero, Kathryn Cushing, Thedra Oliver. Oakley Daby, Clifton Blanchard, Lucille Wade, William Daniels, Howard Norton and Robert Burns, the latter two having since left school. For 1935-36, the Sophomore Class re-organized with the following officers: President. William Daniels; Vice-President, Mary Martin; Secretary, Lucille Wade, and Mrs. Norton assumed the duties of treasurer. The class undertook the task of selling candy during the noon hours and at basketball games. A St. Valentine’s Day dance on February 15th attracted a huge crowd. As Juniors, a class which then consisted of twenty-one members, we elected: President, Oakley Daby; Vice-President, Mary Martin; Secretary, Thedra Oliver; Treasurer, Howard Norton; and Mrs. Norton as advisor. The Juniors continued the sale of candy, in the Spring, sponsored a very successful Junior Prom. Also, the class purchased their class rings during this year. 'I’he final year, 1937-38, began with the election of a new set of officers: President, Mary Martin; Vice-President. Oakley Daby; Secretary, Ronald Marshall; and Treasurer, Lucille Wade. The class lost their faithful class advisor of three years, Mrs. Norton, who is now teaching in Greenport, Long Island. The new history teacher, Mr. Evan Pritchard, accepted the position. The class, working together carefully, has proved to be ambitious and has attempted to earn money in every possible way. The class planned a Christmas party in the gymnasium on December 18th, to which the teachers and the junior class, as well as the post-graduates, were invited. Each person who attended brought a small gift to be placed under the Christmas Tree. With games, dancing, and refreshments there was enough activity to occupy all who attended. The candy sale was started again at the beginning of the basketball season, and as usual, it proved to be worthwhile. The class undertook the sale of Christmas cards and magazines, and held a dance in the gym on November 20th. Several card parties have been held, the last one at the home of Mrs. John Adams. Quite a large crowd attended, making it very successful. )n Saturday morning. May 281I1, the Senior Class departed for Albany on the first trip to be taken by a senior class of Willsboro High School in several years. Miss Barnes chaperoned the girls, who stayed at the Y. VV. C. A. in Albany, and Mr. Pritchard chaperoned the boys, who stayed at the Y. M. C. A. Mr. Ray Boardtnan and Mr. F. D. Marshall kindly provided cars for the trip. The class visited many places of interest incluuing Fort Crailo, where “Yankee Doodle” was written, the Court of Appeals, the State Capitol, the State Education Building and the State Museum, the tower of the State Office Building, the new' Albany Post Office, Schuyler Mansion, the Albany Airport, and the Port of Albany. On the way home Sunday afternoon, we stopped at the Saratoga Battlefield and visited the Old Blockhouse. Needless to say, the trip was one that none of us will ever forget. Graduating from school, the Senior Class of 1938 wishes to extend its deepest gratitude to the faculty and to all those who have “endured” our attendance and who have aided us in any way to obtain the best education possible. Above all, we are grateful to our class advisors, Mrs. Avis Norton and Mr. Evan Pritchard, who have carefully advised us and helped us to perform our duties as a class. In future years our memories will recall those whom we have left behind, hoping that they may enjoy the best of success in all they undertake.

Pritchard. 1937-1938 CLASS FLOWER White Rose CLASS COLORS Blue and Silver CLASS MOTTO Let no obstacle be a barrier” Class Poems To err is human, to forgive divine. We never can forgive those who sit and pine. “Tomorrow we will live!” they always cry, But who knows where that morrow may lie? ’Tis education forms the common mind, Just as the twig is bent, so the tree’s inclined; As great oaks from little acorns grow. Great men are those who climb, raw on row. Dare to tell the truth, naught can need a lie, A fault which needs it most grows two thereby. Honor and shame from no foundation rise: Act well your part, there all the honor lies, William Daniels, ’38 Who came trooping up the stairs That great year of thirty-five? Timid freshmen, young and brave With their minds and hopes alive. Then the next year dawned anew Crowning them as sophomores gay. Other freshmen took the place Of those a year ago that day. Now comes Junior year so sage The dawn of life so true; Grant them health and courage To last them all life through At last we’re Seniors on our way To prove that it is merrier To always bear in mind this phrase “Let no obstacle be a barrier!’’ Virginia Boardman, ’38 Senior Class Will WE. the Senior Class of 1938, in accordance with the laws and customs of Willsboro High School, will and bequeath the following: To the Freshmen: Our ability to work.

I had been teaching for about twenty years so I decided to take a trip for myself. Letting myself be talked into a world tour by a glib-tongued salesman. Roger Blanchard by name. I finally purchased my tickets. Going to New ork, 1 was on my way to my hotel when whom should 1 meet, sauntering down Fifth Avenue, but Ronald Marshall. He informed me that he was now head of the Ford Motor Company, and very happily married to the former Elsie Rand. The next day, on boarding ship, 1 found the Captain to be none other than George Kanaly. My first meal on board was made very pleasant because my waiter was to be my old friend Byron Ellsworth, who confided that he still had a weakness for coca-colas. Touring the ship next day with the “Captain , we went down into the boiler room. Beneath a lot of dirt and grease, 1 discovered a very familiar face, that of Clifton Blanchard, now chief engineer of the great liner. Arriving in Paris a few hours later. 1 decided that I could spend my evening very enjoyably by going to the Paris Opera House. I lie star of the evening proved to be Mile. Annabelle Deschamps. Later, backstage, I bumped into her husband, that perfect gentleman, Oakley Hobby (Daby). Going to Versailles to meet my ship a few days later. 1 waved good-bye to Clarence bite and his faithful little wife, Jenamae Lesperance, who were sitting on the dock fishing for smoked herring. As the ship drew into the great port at Alexandria later, Bing Cooley attracted my attention, with his thumb still in the air, trying to get a ride home from Ausable Forks. Taking pity on him. I told him that he could come along with me. He promptly fainted, probably a relapse because of his weak nerves. The ship skirted the coast of Asia and sailed up into the now artificially-heated Arctic regions. Imagine my surprise when I saw Billy Feltt still holding onto the flag which Admiral Perry planted at the North Pole in 1909. While at Greenland, I watched the erection of some huge radio masts under the direction of Walter Mero, and his assistant, Norman Provost. Walter told me that he lied to come up here to get a chance to give his imitations of Charlie McCarthy At Nome, Alaska, we went for a ride on a dog-sled. I almost keeled over when 1 saw that our driver was Paul Daby, still quite plump in spite of his arduous life among the Eskimos. Stopping at Seattle, Washington, we went to the beautiful high school for a tour of inspection. I found Luiclle Wade to be teaching Latin and French there. She told me that Mary Martin had won another beauty contest and had come to Hollywood to be a movie star. Her manager was named John Adams, strange as that may seem. Bing and I parted company in Hollywood because he wanted to stay there to look for his dear little pal, Constance Dickinson. 1 found out, too, that Kerwin Hutchins was in Holly- wood doubling for W. C. Fields, and that Jimmy Mason was doubling for Andy Devine. What a small world! John Costin had worked his way up from King of Burlesque to Czar of the movie world, bringing with him his two starlets, Ruth Flora and Florence (Polly to her friends) Young. He still couldn’t make up his mind. Bob Reynolds was said to be running a dry-goods store in Cuba, with a side-line of Havana cigars. Doing back East, I stopped in Chicago to shop. The largest sign to meet my evs said, “REPLENISH YOUR WARDROBE AT DRINKWINE’S”. But Howard was in the throes of a violent fire-sale that day so I didn’t go in. As the streamlined train “The Zipper” brought me closer to Willsboro, I learned that Virginia Boardman was home economics teacher in one of the large high schools in Boquet, and that Gladys Doyle was one of the nurses in the hospital there. While I was gazing off into the hills of Reber, I overheard another passenger say that Bill Daniels had finally married Ellen Crowningshield and that their dairy farm was doing very nicely. Finally, 1 arrived in good old Willsboro, the city of opportunity! Thedra ( diver is now organist in the Willsboro Movie Palace, Howard Doner is fire chief, and Howard James had finally settled down and gotten himself elected justice of the peace. Do 1 hear you asking. “Yes, but what has happened to Katy Cushing, good old Katy?” Do you really want to know, folks? Well, I’ll break down and tell you. She is now teaching history in the Willsboro High School, driving her Ford back and forth work every day. So long, folks, happy landings. The “Peanut Vender”. Underclass Activities The Class of 1939 President Ruth Flora Vice-President Donald Strong Secretary-Treasurer Elsie Rand Class Advisor Paul Driscoll During the past year the Junior Class lias sponsored numerous activities including card parties, bake sales, and class parties. 1 lie class also put on a play “Melodrama in Nankipoo . directed by Mr. Driscoll. 1 he annual Junior Prom was a great social success.
