Glyndon Harry Crocker Jr.

"It may only be hearsay, but it has been hinted that "Happy" Crocker first rode into Amherst on horseback, and that ever since that memorable day he has advocated turning Walker Hall into a stable, or the football field into a horse show ring. Glyn has three big interests in life and all of them are horses. He has, however, made the best of the horse famine in Amherst, and instead of returning to Cortland has easily shifted his interests to his acquaintances in Smith and Mount Holyoke. These acquaintances acclaim him as a gentleman at all times. His only mistake socially was to compare his date to a horse, but being experienced he escaped all kicks. Those unfortunate sufferers who are so unlucky as to grace the early morning hours have no doubt seen his tan Chevrolet as it speeds to class each morning, for Glyn has now been suffering from a broken leg for two years. And although a horse gave it to him, he still would change his car for a horse. "Crock" will always be remembered as a hard worker, a good student, a loyal supporter of Amherst, and most of all a lover of thoroughbred horses. He has convinced those around him of the pleasure and value of association with a thoroughbred."

Dedication to
Florence Lucille Crocker
by the graduating class of 1963
Cortland High School

"Although the high school years are ripe with exciting experiences, new knowledge, and warm friendships, they are also years of turmoil, confusion, doubt and disillusionment. Made uncertain and bewildered by new and different situations, we need the guidance of one more experienced than ourselves. Since the spring of 1953 we students have had the understanding help of such a person. With skill, perseverance, and a deep sense of responsibility, this Cortland High School administrator has demonstrated a constant willingness to serve others. Her warm good humor, combined with her strong ability and indomitable spirit have responded to our persistent need. Through her work she has given new definition to the words devotion and love. Humbly, we the Class of 1963 offer our thanks as proudly we dedicate this 1963 CO-HI-AN to you, Mrs. Lucille Crocker."
