Alma Mater
To Hendrick Hudson High
Our song of praise we sing;
To our Alma Mater, dear,
All honor now we bring.
For Hendrick Hudson sailed
Over the unknown sea;
Through storm and tempest,
Through the raging billows,
Never a fear had he;
Though now he’s gone forever;
His name shall never die,
While we are loyal, steadfastly loyal
To Our Hendrick Hudson High.
Welcome and Good Evening to All....
Tonight we bring together alumni, athletes, coaches, families and community members to celebrate and honor the achievements of an elite group
of athletes and one outstanding team. Collectively, they have distinguished themselves in a diversified field of sports including wrestling, track
and field, baseball, skating, swimming, lacrosse and football.
The Hendrick Hudson High School Athletic Hall of Fame was established
in 2006 to strengthen the bond of its athletes of the past with those of the
present and the future. For the inductees and many of us in the room tonight participating in high school sports as a Hen Hud Sailor was a meaningful contributor toward shaping our futures. It is this spirit of community
that inspires the next generation of athletes.
Each year, this growing organization increases its support of our athletes,
school and our community. In addition to annually inducting a new class
of Hall of Fame athletes, the Hall of Fame supports numerous school projects, which the Hall of Fame donated $250 to the Hendrick Hudson Community Educational Foundations Healthy on The Hudson Fundraiser and
donated the T-shirts for Homecoming Week, it also sponsors fundraisers for
community members in need, and each year provides two $500 scholarships to graduating student athletes. We congratulate our 2013 winners:
Kennedy Sherman and Connor Briggi.
The good works of the Hall of Fame would not happen without the tireless
efforts of our committee members who meet monthly to carry out our mission. Sub-committees are formed and are responsible for nominating and
selecting the inductees, staffing and participating in fundraisers and organizing the annual Tribute Dinner. On behalf of my fellow officers, Colleen
Lonergan,John Mattis and Ken Sherman, I would like to commend and
thank them. The entire committee invites all interested volunteers to join us
at future meetings, which are held in the high school; meeting dates for
2013/2014 are listed in the journal.
Enjoy the rest of the evening and I look forward to seeing you all at future
Sailor events. Sailor Pride!

CHRISTINE MARKLEY
Christine (Tine) started speedskating at age 7 (1948)
coached b y her Father, C. Donald Markley. She
could be seen practicing on Lake Meahagh and at
Playland in Rye twice a week.
In 1952 she entered several races at the Brooklyn Ice

some gold. She entered the
NYS Championships at Glens
Falls, NY earning 3 gold medals in the 220 yd., 440 yd. and
1/6 of a mile. She won first
place in the Berkshire Hills Winter Carnival in Pittsfield, MA.
In 1953 she entered her first
Silver Skates competition at
the original Madison Square
Garden and placed second in
Midget Girls. Christine made
many friends in speedskating all up and down the East
coast. Her races were closely
followed by family and friends
and Ray LaPolla, the sports
editor of the Peekskill Evening
Star newspaper. Also during
1953 she won the NYS Indoor
Championships in Flusing
Meadows, NY. the L.I. Speedskating Championship in New
Hyde Park, NY, the Tri-State
Championship at Rye Playland winning the 220 and 330
yard. She won the International Indoor Speedskating Championship at Lake Placid, NY
and the NY Daily Mirror Winter
Carnival in Central Park, NYC
winning a Benrus wristwatch
and meeting comedian Red
Buttons.
In 1954 she won the NYS
Indoor Championship at
Flushing Meadows, first in the
NY Daily News sponsored
Silver Skates Juvenile Girls at
Madison Square Garden. She
also won the North American
Indoor Championship at Lake
Placid in the 330 yds. and
broke the record completing it

the HHHS’ first Con Ed Award

In 1955 she won the Girls Junior Silver Skates and set the

she skated an exhibition at

NY. Her next step would have
been the Minneapolis/St,Paul

Olympics. However, due to
lack of funds and sponsorship,
was unable to attend.
Christine married and raised
two daughters, Eileen Tice Williams and Holly Tice Brecher.
She has three grandchildren,
Alex Williams, Rebecca Williams and Lucas Brecher. Her
two daughters and two of

in Montrose and still skates for
enjoyment.
