Alumni
Association
President
On
July
5,
1970
two
Paul
Smith’s
Alumni,
Alvie
and
Earl
Marcellus,
won
the
World
Crosscut
Sawing
|
Championship
held
at
Albany,
Ore-
|
gon.
They
defeated
among
others,
|
Merv
Lentz
and
John
Miller
who
|
have
held
the
title
for
the
past
sev-
|
eral
years.
Merv
Lentz
has
been
the
World
Lumberjack
Champion
a
few
times.
Aside
from
the
United
States,
there
were
competitors
re
presenting
Canada,
New
Zealand
and
Australia.
Alvie
’63
and
Earl
’64
have
com
peted
together
since
their
teens.
In
their
first
attempt
in
competition
they
placed
first
in
the
New
York
State
Championship
at
Tupper
Lake
in
1958;
Alvie
was
16
and
Earl
14.
While
at
Paul
Smith’s
they
competed
on
the
Forestry
Club’s
Woodsmen’s
Team;
Alvie
in
1962
and
1963
at
Middlebury
and
at
Maine
with
brother
Earl,
who
also
competed
at
West
Point
in
1964.
Their
efforts
contributed
greatly
to
our
victories
during
those
years.
In
professional
competition
in
and
around
the
United
States
and
Can
ada
the
boys
have
made
quite
a
name
for
themselves.
They
have
won
crosscut
sawing
events
at
Lake
Dunmore,
Vermont,
and
have
placed
second
two
different
years
in
the
Northeastern
Championship,
once
behind
Forest
and
Arden
Corey,
two
other
Paul
Smith’s
alumni.
Crosscut
sawing
isn’t
their
only
specialty.
Competing
as
indi
viduals
the
boys
have
excelled
in
other
events.
Alvie
placed
second
in
the
one-man
crosscut
at
the
1969
North
American
Championship
at
Vancouver
with
Earl
placing
fourth..
This
past
January
Earl
travelled
to
Australia
as
the
Unit
ed
States
representative
in
the
150th
Anniversary
of
Woodchopping
Competition
which
is
the
National
pastime
Down-Under.
Earl
placed
first
in
the
Underhand
Chopping,
Third
Division,
winning
not
only
a
cash
award
but
the
highly
coveted
sash.
There
have
only
been
two
other
sashes
that
have
been
won
by
Americans,
one
by
Dave
Geer
and
the
other
by
Arden
Cogar.
This
was
certainly
quite
an
honor.
After
graduating
from
Paul
Smith’s,
Alvie
obtained
his
Bach
elors
Degree
at
the
University
of
North
Carolina.
He
then
enlisted
in
the
Navy
where
he
attended
Officer’s
Candidate
School
and
re
ceived
his
commission
as
Ensign.
He
attained
the
rank
of
Lieuten
ant
Junior
Grade
prior
to
his
separ
ation.
Alvie
is
now
working
on
his
Masters
Degree
at
the
University
of
Washington.
He
has
recently
married
the
former
Phyllis
Zwer-
lein
of
Ballston
Spa
and
they
are
presently
residing
in
Seattle.
Earl
attended
the
New
York
Col
lege
of
Forestry
at
Syracuse
after
leaving
Paul
Smith’s.
Receiving
his
Bachelors
Degree
at
Syracuse,
he
then
went
on
to
get
his
Masters
Degree
at
Yale.
Earl
is
also
attend
ing
the
University
of
Washington,
working
on
his
Doctorate.
Alvie
and
Earl
come
from
a
fam
ily
that
has
been
associated
with
the
forest
community
for
several
generations.
Their
father
and
grandfather
have
been
successful
competitors
in
woodsmen’s
events
with
Leland,
their
father,
winning
the
1970
Northeastern
Bowsawing
Championship.
It
is
only
natural
that
Alvie
and
Earl
have
such
a
keen
interest
in
these
events.
Mr.
and
Mrs.
Marcellus
reside
in
Schaghticoke,
New
York.
They
have
two
daughters
Sydney
(Mrs.
Alfred
Brenenstuhl)
and
Avis
who
resides
with
her
parents.
This
writ
er
would
like
to
personally
thank
Leland
Marcellus
for
providing
the
information
that
has
made
this
art
icle
possible.
