As a picture sent A 5 g from a television studio can affect many who view it, so can we, the ,ai graduates, the products of our sponsors, producers and directors, create 1 l tw l . . . if a telling effect upon many with whom we come in contact. 555 . . . . . , Q3 For a television program, which is given but once, there must be 1, careful, detailed preparation on the part of the production staff and l I s - , v 1 v ly i p. l technicians to insure a worthwhile presentation. The cast must learn its 'J a lines and cues so that there be no breaks during the show. Our princi- ,V xl pals and teachers have planned our work and have practiced with us 1 i . . so that we are prepared to accept the challenge of our various roles in ., wt our single grand performance,-life. However, as any group working 1 e 'F together to produce a play finds time for relaxing and laughter, we 1 g, . . . . ff too,'have found time to temper our studies with many lighthearted, 3 happy times. E- Perhaps during our lives we shall look back at our four years of 2 - ' ractice and smile wistfull at our unwillin ness to ut forth the effort up , . P Y S P 5 4? required during those long hours. If this be the case, we shall then realize that when the director signaled that we were on and the iii' cameras turned toward us in the glare of lights, we began our show 5 A 1 without stage fright and with confidence because we were being broad- ' - n 1 Q cast to the world by a station which had thoroughly prepared us. . ' We have, in this book, gathered tangible memories to enjoy in le, 'lf' those years when we shall be looking back . . . Da If ts' jg ' 3, E .' .lv ,1v11.f' l. I 1 W .im .

If g MR. VANDERHOEF MR. STOVALL SIlf7L'7'i?1f6I1dL'I1f Prexiderli of Board In Hamburg Central High School, many activities play stellar roles. Our athletics have a top rating, our music department provides entertainment, and the various clubs perform services around the school. It is not often that we think of the sponsors of these activities, yet they play an important role too. First, there is the Board of Education, composed of seven civic-minded citizens. Behind the scenes, this group decides the school policies that help Hamburg maintain its high standards. Second, there is Mr. Vanderhoef, Superintendent of the Hamburg Public Schools. Mr. Van- derhoef performs his duties as a sponsor, not only with his mind, but also with his heart, for he has a genuine interest in the students and their school. 6 .1 A? is 3414, ,iff fx 5.

Maudie Mason, the central character, was confident that she knew all the answersg so she took it upon herself to manage her sister Sylvia's wedding. The complications that followed created a delightful plot. No production is a success without the work of the people behind the scenes. The promoters devote as many hours to the play as does the actual cast. The stage crew, and the make-up, ticket, property, and publicity committees all cooperated to make this performance one of perfection. 500.54 Q i l l 2 s z S Lefl lo right: Fallon, Fors, Altenburg, Rochester, Eckert 29 CURTIS CAMPAIGN STAFF -Al Desk: Dole, Silvis.

Members of the class worked diligently organizing next year's Curtis Campaign, their first class venture. With their advisor Miss Mattie and other junior homeroom teachers, they par- ticularly enjoyed working on junior Day. Enthusiasm, willingness to work, and diligence made their junior year at Hamburg a most suc- cessful one, certainly one of which to be proud.

This year the order of learn- ing has been somewhat chang- ed. Under our new arrange- ment, sophomores study Amer- ican literature, juniors, English literatureg and seniors read and enjoy Shakespeare and some world literature in their semester of work. English is a favorite subject for many Hamburg students. Patricia Tanner DEPARTMENT Griffin, Smith VFW ENGLISH EXPRESSION, SPEECH, AND DRAMA Seniors have a choice dur- ing one half of their English course. They may develop their style of writing in Eng- lish expression, or learn to en- dure the multitude of stoney faces in speech. In addition to one of these they may join the newly formed drama class and learn to stage and produce plays. In every case, each sen- ior becomes more proficient in the use of the written and spoken word.

As sopho- mores we study world history, the story of the past-its problems and developments. As juniors we are introduced to many phases of American history-its life, culture, and political developments. As sen- iors we consider the problems of the modern world and are taught how to face these problems with understanding, maturity, and im- partiality. Mr. Collins, Miss john- son, and Miss Gifford are our in- structors. Fidelia Warburton Charlotte Finkenthal LANGUAGES A knowledge of modern and classical languages lends cultural and enriching values to one's back- ground, He becomes literate in another language than his own, yet simultaneously increases his pro- ficiency in his own language. His understanding of peoples of other lands and other ages extends his bonds with humanity. Our school offers us opportunity for cultural enrichment by making available courses in German, French, and Latin. Miss Finken- thal, Miss Warburton, and Miss Graham, our teachers, have ex- cellent backgrounds in language. r' Left to right: Jacobs, Hard, Mum bower, Long, Wald, Howard, Hauck Minard, Smith.

Biology, perhaps one of our most useful subjects, embraces all living organisms. It includes diverse subdivisions: botany and zo- ology, taught the first semester, and a study of the human body and genetics, taught the second, with Mrs. Viehe as instructor. The sciences which deal with inorganic matter, the physical sciences, are supervised by Mr. Jayne. Both chemistry and physics are augmented by a laboratory period each week, during which curious- minded students conduct experiments.

Basic art, for instance, touches lightly on many different phases of art. Later stu- dents may attend separate instruction classes in any one of the fields they are interested in. As students we are deeply grateful to Mr. Bach, who has done so much to develop art appreciation in our school. Edmund Bach Left to right: Maue, Blank, Haynes, King, M' .

Grace Hoare Margaret Robson GUIDANCE At Hamburg High we are very fortu- nate to have a guidance director like Miss Robson.

Educated drivers, everyone knows, make highways safer, for prop- erly trained drivers are more aware of driving hazards and will take precautionary measures against accidents. Because our administration realizes this necessity for trained drivers, it offers to students a course in Driver Education. Mr. Agnew, Driver Ed. instructor, teaches student drivers the proper handling of a car, necessary for safe defensive driving, and an understanding of the mechanisms which furnish the automotive powers.

MARCHING BAND This year's marching band, directed by Mr. Fiero, did. a tremendous job both between halves on the gridiron and in other marching activities. Ac- claimed as the best high school unit in Western New York, the marching band spent long, hard hours of practice last fall. For every minute they per- formed on the football field, they spent one hour in prep- aration. It has become tra- ditional for the band to com- bine with the Amherst group at the Hamburg-Amherst foot- ball games. This is also true with East Aurora. An outstanding attraction of the marching band is the colorful majorettes, who thrill spectators with their twirling routines.

CONCERT BAND Under the baton of Mr. Fiero, the seventy musicians of the concert band have com- bined their extraordinary di- versity of instruments to play symphonic music, enabling them again to enter the most difficult class at the State School Music Association Con- test. Instrumental lessons, un- der the instruction of Mr. Krull and Mr. Fiero, furnish opportunity for those interest- ed to gain proficiency. Many members participated in the sectional-state band, two at- taining placement in the state- wide band at Syracuse. BAND I Xffie, W: ,Q g E 1' i ' , ewI1'4'- t ,.

Hamburg captured the E.C.I.C. and Section VI, Class AA trophies, as well as the Schroeder overall Section VI championship. Captain Gene Kempf, remaining undefeated for the second straight year, gained the 136 pound sectional championship. Hamburg has three other sectional champs in Phil Stutzman, George Callahan, and Dale Minard. This provides an excellent mark for next year's team to aim for.
