Stanley C. Delanoy, 16, student, died attempting to save Elinor M. Griffiths, 14, from drowning, Grassy Point, New York, July 22, 1924. While swimming in deep water in the Hudson River 125 feet from the bank, Elinor became fatigued, and two girls left her after one had tried to aid her. Stanley, without removing his shoes or clothing, waded 60 feet and swam 65 feet to her. She grasped him; a struggle followed, and both sank and were drowned.
