CLASS OFFICERS Pres. Donald Pratt Sec. Delores Connolly We started as freshman, continued as sophomores, and this year emerged as the successful and industrious Junior class. Quickly we entered into school spirit and competition. Donald Pratt, President of our class, represented us in three sports, baseball, football and wrestling. Our other three letter athletes are Louis Barton and Ron Armstrong, who starred in football, bas- ketball, and baseball. We didn't confine our activities to the field. To supplement our class treasury, the girls ably handled the concessions at the football games. Many of the girls participated in the Senior Girls Bowling League in Archery, and on the Hock- ey Club which won the league trophy for the second year. We were well represented in the school band, in News Club, Student Council F.H.A., F.F.A., and Athletic Assoiation. Many students have excelled scholastically, too. Top rankings in the junior class are claimed by Audrey Allis, Esther Cohoon, Anne Deabler, Donald Pratt, and Ruth White. The big event of the fall term for us, was the ordering of our class rings. In May we contin- ued the custom of sponsoring the annual Junior Prom. Although we are proud to lookback on our previous accomplishments, we are also looking forward, hoping to achieve bigger and better things next year. 14 CLASS OFFICERS President......................Frank Weir Sophomores Vice President ............Marlene Dietrich Secretary..................

Quarterback Marshall Smith captained the team. Greene pulled one of the major upsets of the season by hanging a defeat on previously unbeated Deposit. In the traditional battle with Ox- ford, the teams battled to a 0-0 tie, the first such score since 1902. The Trojans' other victories were over Delhi and Hancock. Honors for scoring were shared by Barton, with 21 points, Ceplo, with 19, and Smith, with 18. Defensive play was sparked by four seniors in the center of the line Auwarter, Simmonds, Introvatolo, Woodruff, and a junior, Pratt. 25 Basketball FRONT: T. Beadle, F. Villante, Mgr.; M. Smith, R.

Leading the scoring parade was Louis Barton with 185 points in 16 games, closely followed by Jim Moran who had 182 in 14 games. Moran had the high average in points per game, with a neat 13. 0. Marshall Smith won a place in the G. C. S. Hall of Fame, when he scored 29 points in the last game of the year against Chenango Forks, a new individual high. Seniors who represented Greene were Charles Baxter, John Balunas and Roger Pierce. The Trojan JV squad gave promise of better times next year, as they turned in a 10-6 record, including a non-league win over Deposit, Southern Division Champs. Bill Hoag paced the team in total points with 206, and in average points per game, with 12.6. Bill Henninge, Jack Najarian and John Lechner were other high JV scorers. Added to the growing list of G. C. S. varsity sports was wrestling, under Coach Fletcher. Losing its first matches, the squad gained in experience and hit its stride with a victory over Newark Valley and a double win over Deposit. The season's record was 3-7. Highlight of the season was the Section IV meet at Ithaca, where Don Simmonds, and Les Moore reached the semi-finals. Team members with records of . 500 or more were Ken Ceplo, Dave Bartlett, Bob Ceplo, Merle Farn- ham. Bob Lobdell, Don Simmonds and Les Moore. The season's record was 3-8. FRONT: VV. Henninge, F.

Greene lost the league title to Windsor in a hard fought contest, 3-1. Jack Ceplo was again the ace hurier, tossing two no-hitters and a one-hitter. Jack finished his three years of baseball for G. C. S. in a blaze of glory. His overall record was 26 wins against 8 defeats; he hurled five no-hit, no-run games, and four one-hitters. For the third year he represented Greene at Cooperstown in the all-star game and was credited as winning pitcher in the box score. During the summer Jack signed a Brooklyn Dodger contract for an estimated $6, 000, as a non- bonus player. Dan Walters led the Trojan nine with a . 355 average at the plate, and also contributed a perfect season afield. Ceplo lead the team with the most runs batted in, 14.

League Champions 1950 - 51 Hockey wm CLASS PROPHECY Having been granted a twenty-four hour leave from my celestial duties of keeping records for St. Peter, I decided to pay a visit to all of my old school friends in the class of '51. So I put away my wings and returned to earth. I decided that the best way to learn of my old chums was to stroll through the streets of Greene once more. As I floated down over the town I saw that the town had not changed much, a few new houses and stores here and there, but it was still the pretty little village it always had been. I took special notice of a very pretty little house, where out in front was a sign reading, Thelma's Beauty Salon . As I strolled up Genesee Street I saw a sign advertising television. We had heard about television in heaven, but we didn't have any, so I decided to go in and see it. Much to my surprise I discovered Janet Ellet as the owner of the store. She said she would demonstrate one for me. I stayed long enough to see the Charles Baxter Supper Club on C. B. S. (Charles Baxter System), to hear Fred Kummerfeldt in his campaign for the next presidential election and to hear Roger Arnold lecture on World Affairs from the U. N. Building. Outside I ran into Sara Hoyt who after years of being a telephone operator, knew all the gossip there was to know. She told me that she was correspondent from Greene for the Binghamton Press, now edited by Fred Hoag. She told me that John Corbin was now a prominent Wall Street Broker and tliat his secretary, Maude Harrington, was constantly calling Merle Rotherford, a very successful banker, in order to deposit more money for John. John Auwarter, salesman for Hansman's mills ceeps three or four phones busy with his thriving business. She also spoke about the successfulness of Robert Huntley's veterinarian busi- ness. There are many telephone calls to Winston's Smorgasbord, the best restaurant in Southern New York. The telephone concern has been greatly increased by the demands of the Hayes Trucking business. She told me that Harvard Graduate, John Balunas, owner of the Balunas Airlines had just hired Della Shipton as a stewardess and Freddy Fredenburg as a pilot. Freddy completed four years of service in the WAFs before this. I then bid Sara farewell and continued on down the street trying to take in everything. I turned the corner to walk up North Canal Street, when I bumped into Ava Van Talmadge and Bev Hall wheeling baby carriages. I stopped to talk with them a minute and then I crossed the street to stop in at the ice cream store for something refreshing. I found that another of our classmates was in here. It was Shirley Scholefield, who told me that she was married and had two nice little daughters. She now owned, with her husband, the ice cream store. 34 I bought the ice cream and strolled on down the street. Passing the ball flats I heard a great commotion so I hurried on to see what it was all about. Standing near the ball flat entrance was Judy McLauglhin, directing traffic just as C. B. Decker used to do. Everyone was very excited and talking about the big game. Being curious I stuck around. Presently a band marched onto the field with Joanne Hanna in the lead. When game time came, I found out it was to be a girls' hockey game. Garent Cox was the captain of one team and a few of the other members of the class of '51 were on the team. These were Yvonne Bullett, Pat Sherwood, and Isabelle Najarian. Their uniforms consisted of white shirts and red shorts. I saw among the fans many of the '51 alumnae, Stuart Foster, Kathryn Giess, Beva Rounds, and Barbara Gross. Upon chatting with them, I found that the girls were all married and that Stuart was a confirmed bachelor. Wandering around the ball flats, I met Phyllis Gowles, the kindergarten teacher in Greene's new school. She told me that Chuck Introvatola was a history teacher and that Janet Shafer was the school nurse. She told me that she had spent the weekend with one of our alumnae. Dawn Joslin. She said that Dawn was married and had two mischievous little boys. After the game, which Cox's team won, I strolled back up town to the commercial district. As I passed the movie house, I was startled to read the marquee. It said, The Great Lover starring Joseph Kli- ment . I walked on up to the south end of town where I ran into Marshall Smith, a successful farmer, married to a pretty little blonde. He informed me that Bob Niles and Bill Williams were also farmers and that two of the boys were working out of town. These were Don Simmonds, a pattern maker (not dress patterns) and Jim Moran, a linotype operator. Across the street where the bowling alley still stands, I saw that it was now under new proprietorship. It was owned by the Golden Brothers. Suddenly I heard the screech of police sirens and then a string of cars tore past me towards Binghamton. Marshall gave me a ride uptown so I could find out what happened. I rushed into the office of Honest Woodruff, the dependable lawyer and soon learned that Roger Pierce had tried to pass a red light and needed expert advice. Well, I can't stand all this excitement, it's bad for my heart, so I guess I'd better go back up to heaven. If you ever drop in just call on me. 35 Bye now. The Will of the Class of 1951 We, the class of nineteen hundred fifty-one, Greene Central School at Greene, in the county of Chenango, State of New York, United States of America, being in sound mind and having full possession of our natural faculties, do make, publish and declare this to be our last will and testament in full manner. We suggest that all of our funeral expenses be met in the easiest way possible. To the Juniors we leave the Senior study hall and corridors. To the Faculty we do give and bequeath all future senior classes who have the promptness, studiousness, and aggressiveness of the class of '51.

Joanne Hanna and Jim Moran leave their favorite corner in the hall to Mary McNulty and Merle Rotherforth. Yvonne Bullett, Maude Harrington, and Pat Sherwood leave their business ability to all future business students. To Dee Connolly, a faithful Senior boy. To Don Pratt we leave Maude's and Phyllis' place in the cafeteria. To Ronnie Armstrong we leave all the erasers in Senior High to throw. Izzy Najarian wishes to bequeath her gift of gab to Ruth White. To Leslie Moore, Judy McLaughlin leaves her jeep to replace his ? when it falls apart. Johnny Balunas leaves his trip to the cafeteria during Intermediate class to Joyce Hinman. The cheerleaders bequeath their cheering ability to all future cheer- leaders. To Mr. Finnegan, a year's subscription to the Today's Woman, to keep him company during after school detention. The Senior class leaves the rank of General to Stonie, who is in the service. Marshall Smith leaves his two front teeth to anyone who wants them for Christmas. Garnett Cox has decided to keep her notebook full of food for herself. Bob Smith is left a list of restrictions placed on winking and all flirtations. Ava, Dawn and Beverly are going to keep their engagement rings and wish all Junior girls as much luck as they had. Shirley Scholefield and Don Simmonds bequeath their natural curly hair to Bill Roberts and Ester Cohoon. Lastly, to our Alma Mater, that has helped us to so creditably fight life's battles, we give a fond farewell.
