Under Mr. Cole's supervision we made the lab our home. It's a good thing we resigned ourselves because we had to suffer in that room for two years--and not because we all flunked I Geraldine Wade, Florence Cross, Jeanne Stanley and kola Nowak took over business matters as President, Vice-President, Secretary and Treasurer, respectively. A raffle and a juke dance were the main activities that year. And then came our Sophomore year (maybe we should underline that one)'. We started with a big bang in the form of a carnival and to a money-minded class like ours, that was a definite success. After that we were convinced we could do anything and Miss Hennessey had a hard time bringing us back to earth. Flossie Cross, Virginia Bryant, Virginia Smith and Dotty Brid0e, in the usual order, were our officers that year, with the carnival, two dances and a raffle, we kept our Treasurer busy and we ended the year with $296 to our credit. As Juniors, there was little we didn't have a hand in, one way, or another. We began the year with Miss Stacavich as our advisor, and Virginia Smith presiding, and Myrtice Smith, Doris Doyle and Jeanne Stanley helping her out. We chose a play and did some work on it, but due to circumstances beyond our control the idea was abandoned. Then in rapid succession came magazine subscriptions and writing paper. Many pairs of shoes were worn thin as we tramped from door to door. We had a dance in November but ran into a little competition from the seniors who squeezed in four days ahead of us with a dance of their own. January--and our rings camel They caused no end of excitement and were the center of attraction for several days. Miss Stacavich left us in the middle of the year and Mr. Van Korb became our advisor. After another dance, a card party and an ameteur show, we started on the Junior Prom. Everyone pitched in and really worked on decorations for a week beforehand. Although most of us were too tired that night to even notice, we realized that the dance had been a big success, socially. £ and. financially. After that we rested on our laurels, finishing the year off with exams and decorating the gym for graduation. In September it took quite a while for us to become accustomed to the honor of being seniors. Mr. Van Korb was unanimously voted inas our 0uardian and Donna Baber took over the gavel. We broke all our previous records and elected a boy, Wally Blanchard, to an office. Helen flever, as secretary, and Geraldine Wade, as Treasurer, rounded out our list of officers. A carnival and a formal dance were the outstanding Senior activities in the fall. With Regents, work on yearbook, and the fu3s over graduation and yearbook pictures, January went by quickly. We gave a supper in February and ended seventy dollars richer. From then until the sixth of April we spent all our spare time planning for the Big Trip . When we finally arrived in New York we made up for four years of anticipation. That's one week few of us will ever forget. Through April and May, the spring rush of shows, baseball games, and dances kept every Senior busy. Suddenly we realized that Graduation Day was just a-round the corner. Books were dug out of hiding and the midnight oil burned as Regents drew nearer. In a little while it was all over. Baccalaureate and then Graduation night, itself. High School was over for most of us. There were sad faces for a little while when we recalled all the grand times we had had to-getner but any gloom present was dispelled by the wonderful hopes and plans for the future. Pola Nov ak 7 CLASS POEM We entered school In 35, Our little minds with tricks alive; They thought us angels till they found. That trouble starts when we re around. Prom year to year our knowledge grew. But with this came more trouble too; And still the teachers that we've met. Are asking Prof., Have they gone, yet?fi Our first eight years wero filled with Joys, We lost some classmates, mostly boys; At last as Freshmen, then came work. Our time was s hort, we couldn't shirk. But High School days went by too fast. Our Senior year roiled round at last; And all those final tests at school. They made us say, Why did I fool. And graduated now we stand. To find adventure in this land; We only hope in years to come, We'11 make a world of peace and fun. So someday maybe kids will find. Some good things we have left behind; And they will raise their eyes toward heaven To thank the Class of Forty Seven.

M. Easter Sunday, the Seniors were patiently awaiting the Sleeper for the long anticipated trip to the big city. Finally we heard a toot-toot in the distance and everyone bumped through the door carrying little bags and big ba s, followed by boy friends and parents to see us off. (Let's not mention those three unfortunate guys who forgot to jump off the train before it took off!!) Off we were for N. Y. C. Aftera very harassing, sleepless night we reached new York City and Grand Central Terminal about 7:30 .Monday morning. We donned our chapeaux once again and piled off--much in the same manner in which wo had piled on. We were all starved so we deposited our belongings at the Hotel Plymouth and took off for Kellogg's Restaurant. Shortly afterward we headed for Radio City Music Hall, wherewe enjoyed seeing the Easter Stage Show. Early after lunch we had our first subway thrills and spills on a trip to Bronx Zoo. (Incidentally this wasn't our biggesl fall-don't mention Boo or the Seniors will have a hen fight!!) At the zoo we met a lot of fellow apes which really made us homesick for Willsboro. After dinner we went through the Hall of Motion and after that, even though we were exhausted, we visited the Bob Hawk Show only to catch up on some lost sleep! (We didn't catch it, though, so if anyone sees any headin' his way, please return it promptly to the Seniors i) Early (10:30) Tuesday morning we headed for Rockefeller Center for a tour of the City within a city . Our very interesting uide told us many amazing things about the building, development and financial statements of Rockefeller Center and the various buildings. One of the most interesting, is the RCA building about which our guide told us many valuable facts. And then after lunch, we boarded a bus which took us all ovor the city--beginning at our hotel, goin through China Town and down to the water's edge. Here we got tickets for a ferry ride to the statue of Liberty. I will not mention what we did in- the evenings, as it might embarrass us but you can bet we had a good time! Promptly at nine the next morning we were all off for the NbC tour. Here we learned how sounds are produced over the radio, saw television sets and Flossie Cross was lucky enough to be chosen to speak into the set. This showod us how wonderful it will be to have television sets in our own homes. At the close of this tour, we witnessed the Fred Waring Broadcast. In the evening some of us went to see Mickey Hoon-ey, in person, at Vaudeville; others saw the Ico bhow; but I guess the boys must have gone bowling!11 You'll have to ask them to make sure 11 My, but it's fun watching the balls roll down the alley, isn't it, boys??? The next morning, we all felt very religious as we went through the Cathedral of St. John the Divine. This cathedral is not finished, but it is said that when it is finished, it will be the largest in the world. We also visited St. Patrick's Cathedral, another beautiful cathedral in N. Y. C. One of the most interesting events was Barnum and Bailey Circus which was held at Madison Square Garden Thursday afternoon. (Perhaps you have been wondering what ails Bruce since he has returned--we11, guess he must have been inspired by the clowns—as if he isn't clown enough!) The Seniors truly enjoyed this, as most of us voted it second best to the NBC Tour. They say that good things do not come together but I can't believe the proverb, as that same night, about eight of us took a bus over to La Guardia Airport. Here we had dinner in the Coffee shoppe and then weht outside to watch the planes landing, loading supplies and taking off. We would have enjoyed this more if we had brought heaters (of some kind). If Flossie had been kind, she would have shared hers with us I Better luck next time!! Friday morning, everyone unwillingly packed up his duffle-bags , put on her best bonnet and started for the train for a deligntiui trip home. A few of us were lucky enough to have invitations to over stay our visit in New York and there abouts, but we sincerely hope that future classes will have as good a time as we had last Easter.

Work was started on the Mikado but due to sickness of members, it wasn't presented. 'We gave a Christmas Operetta, however which was a great success. Wo have received many new songs during the school year. Among them are Blue Skies , When Day is Done , Oh What a Beautiful Morning , I'm Always Chasing Rainbows , A rretty Girl is Like a Melody , The Night Has a Thousand Eyes , Hopsaa , and Nobody Knows the Trouble I've Seen . On May 6th we held our annual May Day Festival . At this time v e presentedto the public the music which we had prepared during the year. The auditorium was decorated and arranged to resemble a night club. Refreshments were served between numbers. Several members were called upon for special numbers. We took our trip to Plattsburg, for Music Week, May 9th. In the future we hope to continue our Glee Club work with success. B. B. CLUB Our first big deal of the year was the induction and initiation of new members. They really went through the mill acting as the housewives of tomorrow. They knew what the club meant after that day. Our first big dance was the barn dance. Fun was had by all. (We hope.) Our Hobo-day was quite a success with girls coming from surrounding towns and becoming hobos with us. The club sent Miss Kin landand Grace Patterson to the sub-regional meeting at Adelphi College, Long Island. They learned a great deal about the cIud and had a wonderful time also, (eon't) rti The real big event was the opening night of the B. B. Nite Club . All of the girls became models for a night and some were actresses. The fashion show and floor show went along quite smoothly for our first attempt. We never could have done it without Miss Kimp-land. We hope to make it an annual affair. This summer Janet Mason is goingto summer camp at Aswezatchie, New York. And so we check offanother vear in the life of our club. GIRLS' AND BOYS' HI-Y The girls' and boys' Hi-Y clubs of Willsboro were started October 22, 1946. At the beginning, the girls club boasted nine members (two dropped out since October) while the boys club numbered seven. The temporary officers elected by the girls are as follows: President, Pola Nowak, Treasurer and Secretary, Joan Spierto. The boys elected Bruce Hoskins President and Wallace Blanchard as Secretary and Treasurer. Since October the members of both groups have journeyed to E-town for the convention and to Lake Placid for the Annual Mid-Winter Rally. Both proved to be enjoyable trips. Thus far the girls club has undertaken one project, student government, which was not successful. However, the girls are now sponsoring dance nights in which the high school pupils are able to learn to dance. Mr. Van Korb, Mr. and Mrs. Flynn and others act as chaperones and instructors. The boys club started a skating rink as a project but due to bad weather it was not successful. On Tuesday, February 12, a spaghetti supper was held in the Congregation Parish Hall for the old members of both boys and girls Hi-Y as well as for the students who were going to be inducted in the future. Slides on Alaska were shown by our guest Mr. William Dwyer, as well as a very interesting speech. On May 2, new members were officially inducted for both clubs. It will be these new members, as well as a few remaining Juniors, who will carry on the work of the club next year. We sincerely hope that our new members will be able to fulfill the purpose of Hi-Y and extend its activities throughout the community as well as we have this year. : t . WJ-f - ANNUAL STAFF (i 4 Y SPORTS This year’s athletic teams, under tne fine coaching of Mr. Van Korb, were not too successful but showed ,-,reat improvement over last year. A new set of rules was posted everywhere to remind the boys tnat they would have to give up some things if they were to have the privelege of being part of the team. Revision of league rulings made more fellows ele ible for tne different teams, including soccer, bas etball, and baseball. Members of the Varsity basketball team were:Skip Reynolds, Captain, and forward, Bruce Hoskins jumping center, Wallace Blanchard and Harold Rathbun, guards, and John Sheehan, forward. Substitutes included Dutch Spear, Fred Tucker, Dpnald Currier, Re0inald Carver, Thurland Provost and Roger 7 risley. The team played only two practice games and these were with Dannemora. Everyone cheered when the boys won one more game than they had the year before. There wasn’t much time possible for practice after school and considering this, the team didn't do so badly. The junior team, this year including fellows from all Junior High Scnool classes, really was a big attraction, judging from tne number who went out for it. when all these stars lilt Senior High School we snould have some team’ Tne regulars were Kenneth Kneeland and Henry peck, forwards, Donald Shambo, center and Harry snedd, Norman Wade, guards. Among the busiest substitutes were Phil Drinkwine, Rae Youn , Carl pat-node, and Albert Bridge. Our baseball team looked quite strong and many changes were made for t e best. The lineup was much the same as the previous year although the games were played on a different schedule th.n other years. Return games were played with all schools, making two 0ames a week instead of the usual one. This kept our boys quite busy every Tuesday and Friday afternoon. Sometimes when games were postponed because of rain or cold weather there were three league games M In a week. The team got a good start and played some exciting h games. The lineup was as follows: Wallace Blanchard, pitching , with Robert Shambo to relieve him and Dyer Blanchard as catcher, Bruce Hoskins on first base, Harold Rathbun on second, Fred Tucker, Shortstop and Skippy Reynolds third baseman made up the infield. Way out in the field were Thurland Provost, over on the left, Joe Flora, in centcrfield, and Robert Shambo alternating with Wallace Blanchard, in the right hand corner. Vork ln ...
