Our high school days are not an end but rather a beginning- The dawn of life's fulfillment. Like the Greek gods some may continue on and up, While others pass unheralded. Yet each must do his share to insure that he does not fall prey, like Echo, to futile dreams, And, like her, waste away to mere repetition of man's past errors. So we stand on the eve of our journey-suspended in the vacuum of that which has just passed, Ready to be flung out into our separate paths To meet with readiness the futures for which we have been prepared by those who have dedicated themselves to our enlightenment. Before we go, however, we as the Senior Class wish to present a memento of our days spent in preparation, And hope that its merits will echo from the very heights of Mount Olympus- Our Echoes of 1959.

J V J kl X To Honor You After we, the Class of 1959, have left Hamburg High School, you will linger in our memories. You will be remembered for your capability as a teacher, your cooperation with students, and for your valuable advice. You urged our class to higher goals and made us realize that doing well was not enough, we should do the very best. We shall never forget the long hours which you spent as our class advisor for two years. Through your guidance, our Freshman Party and Sophomore As- sembly were tremendous successes. In appreciation for all that you have done for us, the Senior Class dedicates its yearbook, the 1959 ECHOES,to you, MISS MATTIE. r 5 3 J 724' ?

GEORGER The Board of Education, which is the highest authority in the Hamburg Central School system, consists of seven members elected by the voters in the area. Under the direction of their president, Mr. Davis, the Board makes important decisions about the various problems of a growing school district. They determine the basic policies for all of the Ham- burg Public Schools. In her capacity as its secretary and clerk, Mrs. Greenwald provides the Board with many needed services. MR. STOVALL MR.

HATTEN Superintendent A helpful attitude aids the cause SUPERINTENDENTS OFFICE To administer and coordinate the many departments of our school system, we have an able and competent superintendent in Mr. Hatten. Students, teachers, and community members are appreciative of his efforts, which make our schools run smoothly throughout the year. This year, our school's enrollment has increased measurably, and many prob- lems have arisen. Mr. Hatten has shown genuine enthusiasm and expert leadership in dealing with these administrative details. Mr. Hatten is assisted by his capable office staff. Needless to say, we are all very dependent upon the work done by Mrs. Millar, Mrs. Heath, and Mrs. Burdette. 10 'L I 1 . Q 5 'Wife ' K, sf , 3 t , . . ' V MR. GOTTSHALL Assistant Principal MRS. MEYN 1 MRS. EMERLING MR. RAVEL Principal of leadership and responsibility PRINCIPAL'S OFFICE Like the ancient Greeks, we at Hamburg High need guidance and leadership. One of our sources for this assistance is our principal, Mr. Ravel. It is under his administration that we are educated to become responsible citizens and good stu- dents. His dealings with the student body are always accompanied by a ready smile and a willingness to help. We are grateful to Mr. Gottshall, our assistant principal, for the many things he does, such as taking care of the Merit Award program. The two office secretaries, Mrs. Meyn and Mrs. Emerling, are efficient and pleasant in either routine or emergency situations. 11 Firxt Row: Mr. Ulrich, C.

After a spirited campaign in the fall, james Billings was elected. Under his guidance and that of Mr. Ulrich and Mr. Olney, the Student Council has actively dealt with important matters in our school. It has sponsored and sup- ported the foreign exchange student program and supervised the student store. It governs the students at Hamburg High and makes suggestions for various ways to improve our school.

Exchange This year, Hamburg High had the most extensive foreign exchange pro- gram in its history. Four senior students were here from various countries of the world. Here from Panama was Lisbeth Espinog from Equador, Patsy Breilhg from Italy, Mariella Bassanog and from Sweden, juhan Magi. In addition to participating in senior class activities and assemblies, they have been active members of the Discussion Club. These four students have been a lively and enthusiastic part of the stu- dent body here at Hamburg and their memory will live in all our hearts forever.

Students Last summer two Hamburg High students spent an enjoyable summer in Europe. Gordon Hoare traveled to Ger- many, where he observed the customs of the people and visited parts of Germany, Holland, and Belgium, Louis DeVoe journeyed to Switzer- land where he spent two fun-filled months taking pictures, sightseeing, and mountain climbing. Two other students, Joe Doolittle and Karen Seufert, went to Panama under the sponsorship of the Interna- tional Fellowship Incorporated. There they attended school and learned to speak the language fluently. Lifetime memories were brought back by all! of the ods 2' f.

Like the Dance of the Hours Climaxing the Junior Day luncheon and assembly in the spring of '58 was the prom, Southern Melody which proved as enchant- ing as its name. The music of Pat Vann and decorations recreating the Old South set the mood. The highlight of the evening was the coronation of Queen Pat Jayne and King Jim Billings, attended by Anne Schwert, Charlene Agliata, Sara Kaegebein, Suzie Fawcett, Judy Davis, Jim Joyce, Pete Logel, Gordon Hoare, Bill Grigsby, and Chuck Hornberger. As a favorite tune stays with us always, phrases of it occasionally coming to mind, so Southern Melody will re- main with the Class of '59. ,QC lr NA l Y ak' 5. Sealed: Billings, Jayne.

Instead of the usual semiformal dance, they had a sock hop on January 51. Both the shoe checkers and the coat checkers had a very busy night keeping every- thing in order. Among the delightful colored and dec- orated socks, one pair was chosen as the most original. It was certainly a bright, cheerful atmosphere that greeted the Freshman Class that night. The gay decorations were planned by the freshmen with the help of Mr. Swanchak and Mr. Garrison. To add to the excitement, Gary Greeno and Rick Hale played everyone's favorite records. 57 Frrst Row Mr Measer Mrs Hoare Mr Franke Mrs Gage Second Row Miss Flanagan Miss Wheeler Mrs Schroeck Miss North Mrs Nicklas Third Row Miss Colhns Mr Huntley Mr White Mr Shaw Mrs Bruce First Row Mrs Glazler Mr Collms Mr Jayne Mxss Mattie Second Row Mrs Kent Miss Estes Mrs Collms Mrs Morgan Mrs Dye Thzrd Row Mr 'X First Row Mrs Bergstrom Mr Garrison Mr Swanchak Mrs Shaw Se: ond Row Mr Martin Miss jones Mrs Huntsinger Miss Pesch Mr FICIO 58 Our The junior class advisors are one of the forces responsible for the suc- cess of the prom, the paper drive and other class activities.

Individ- ual guidance is given students to help them plan high school programs which meet the entrance requirements of the colleges and universities of their choice. Mrs. Eckert and Mrs. Beck pro- mote guidance activities by maintain- ing a library of pertinent data about college and job opportunities. This service is augmented by personal visits of representatives who talk with jun- iors and seniors about various vocations and colleges. During our formative years, the guidance staff encourages our ambitions for the future. Speech Therapy Seated: Swieczkowski, Rader, Morgenfeld. Standing: Leese, Mullane, Ahrens. In Hamburg High School mathematics is an elec- tive course. The teachers, Miss Benning, Mr. Gott- shall, Mrs. Huntsinger, Mrs. Nicklas, and Mr. Web- ster, aid us in gaining an understanding of various mathematical concepts and methods. Mr. Webster and Mrs. Huntsinger teach elemen- tary algebra, a prerequisite to all other math courses. Students then learn plane geometry from Mr. Gott- shall, Mrs. Huntsinger, and Mrs. Nicklas. After taking these courses, students may continue with the more challenging study of intermediate and advanced algebra, trigonometry, and finally, solid geometry, which are taught by Miss Benning and Mrs. Nicklas.

J mb ' , f' K N Q K sv ' 'r o know a country's literature is to know its people! Engllsh More and more colleges and businesses are stress- ing tlie importance of ability in English. Realizing this, Hamburg High provides an excellent four-year English program. Freshman English lays a background in grammar and literature. There is an overall view of American writings during the second year. In the third year, both early and modern English literature are studied. For one semester, seniors are required to take English IV, in which world literature is studied. Speech, English expression, and literary appreciation are olfered for the otherlhalf of the senior year. Speech teaches confidence and ability to talk before groups. Expression develops proficiency in writing para- graphs, compositions, and term papers. Literary ap- preciation is designed to prepare college-bound stu- dents for advanced work in literature. 00131 tudles Social studies from the freshman year to the f'f7j Sitting: Ebel, Byers, Elliott, Rice, Wertz. Standing: Burkhardt, Gerrity, Burdette. . . 4 . if -5 an z ' .1 1 senior year can be compared to a flight of stairs: one year brings us up to, and' prepares us for the next. As freshmen, we study geography, the physical characteristics of the earth, and the effects these have upon the actions of men. Sophomores study world history, how men through the ages have behaved and the national groups they created, partially as a result of geography. Juniors and seniors study the history of our own country, which the men of the old world created and influenced. Current events, with a special slant toward the specific subject being studied, are taken up each year as one of the important parts of social studies.

Latin gives students a linguistic background, enabling them to use the English lan- guage better. It also gives the students a better knowledge of the customs and life of the ancient Romans. The three modern languages, French, German, and Spanish, become more and more important to the conscien- tious American each day, in our shrink- ing world. More widespread know- ledge of foreign languages helps na- tions build better foreign relations. In our language courses students learn to speak, read, and write a foreign language, and something of the life of the people from whom the language comes. First Row: Mullett, Ross.

Second Row: Business Hamburg High School boasts an excellent business department which prepares students for the future. Under the direction of Mr. Huntley, students are provided with a broad background in book-keeping, salesman- ship, business arithmetic, and business management. Mr. Detlefson trains com- petent typists and gives others a clear understanding of business law. Under the capable guidance of Miss Flanagan, girls are given valuable instruction in shorthand and transcription. A new member of the business faculty this year is Miss North. It is under her capable guidance that the courses sec- retarial practice, office practice, and introduction to business are offered. These able instructors make Ham- burg proud of its business department. First Row.' Fauth, Foit, McFadden, Dubbert. Homemaking cess to very modern facilities: light automatic washer, dryer, and ironer. Mrs. Kent and Mrs. Bruce prepare students for all phases of future home life. Those interested may choose from any of these courses: home furnishings, family life, foods, home nursing, cloth- ing, child care, and foods and nutrition. All of these courses will be of great value later in life when the students manage their own homes. Fine Art Students who are interested in the field of art find Hamburg High art courses very worthwhile. In the large art room with its modern and complete facilities, Mrs. Collins encourages students to work creatively. Basic art, a prerequisite to all other courses, in- troduces students to the fundamentals of the subject. The work of this subject provides a general back- ground of the skills needed for more advanced courses in drawing and painting, advertising design, and modeling and sculpturing. The art program provides occupational training for some students and enjoyment for others. How- ever, art classes help all students to appreciate the art both of the past and of the present. I First Row: Ranic, Vujnovic, Williams. Second Row: Fauth, Fors, Daniels, Meyer. 68 A home-like atmosphere is created within our school by the home eco- nomics department. Students in the various homemaking courses have ac- 7 shining kitchen units with gas or elec- tric ranges, dishwashers, and convenient cabinet space, a comfortable and attrac- tive living-room, sewing machines, an Industrial Arts The industrial art department, su- pervised by Mr. Scruton and Mr. Ul- rich, is organized into three courses: metal shop, wood shop, and print shop. The students in these classes learn skills which later help them in the home, in business, or in industry. The excellently equipped shop in our high school provides the latest machinery for the industrial arts students' use. The print shop students gain valu- able experience by printing various items for school functions and organi- zations. The metal shop students shape metal into artistic and useful objects. The woodworking students make furni- ture and accessories for the shop, as well as for themselves. First Row: Melberg, Provorst. Second Row: Crotty. Third Row: Schutts, White. I O Nlechanlcal Drawlng Today in our industrialized and specialized world a basic understanding of drafting is required of al- most everyone who plans to work in industry. Mr. Measer teaches elementary blueprint reading to familiarize students with the practices of drafting. During the elementary courses the student is taught how to best represent an object pictorially. Special- ized types of drawing are taught later. These include sheet metal drawing and the making of tracings and blueprints. Mr. Measer also teaches a course in cam and gear design as well as a course in architectural drawing for the advanced student. Practical experience is a good teacher and is used in all courses. Sitting: Bodenstedt, Mansell. Standing: Siegrist, Newland. 69 First Row: Dornhaffer, Beatty, Stillman, Mitchell, Rucker, Dunbar. Driver Education Today, with more cars on the road, it is increasingly important to have a capable driver behind the wheel of each car. Driver education classes help guar- antee that modern drivers are safe drivers. Mr. Ulrich and Mr. Franke teach students driving skills and the rules of the road. Students also learn what to do when confronted with certain emergency situations. They are taught, in simple terms, how the car's motor runs. Twice a week, each student gets behind-the-wheel experience, this gives everyone a chance to practice what he has learned in the classroom. Lihrar Nothing is more important to a stu- dent than the library, for it frequently supplements his school work. Here, one can find reference books, pam- phlets, and magazine articles on almost every subject. These always stand ready to provide students with the informa- tion they seek. The students enjoy working in the friendly atmosphere of the library, which is under the supervision of Mrs. Hoare. She busily attends to her varied and demanding job, and gladly answers any questions students may pose. Ham- burg students spend a great deal of their time in the library and are very thankful for its warm and inspiring atmosphere. First Row: Law, Siegrist, Kruizenga, Wood.

Physical Education The physical education program is one of the important aspects of high school life. Hamburg's gym teachers have organized an excellent, well- rounded physical education program for their classes this year. Students are taught basic sports skills, co- ordination, good sportsmanship, and the ability to get along with other people. Health The health service program under the super- vision of Mrs. Schroeck, and Miss Pesch, insures each student the opportunity to develop good health habits. A one-semester health education course taught by the physical education teachers provides practical and theoretical knowledge that will be utilized by each student after graduation. Seated: Coney.

We have a choice of mixed choir, a mixed chorus, and a girls' chorus, all of which are di- rected by Miss Wheeler. The three groups sing many types of music, including popular tunes, spirituals, and more classical numbers. This year, they participated in three highly successful concerts. Several choir members also represented our school in the all-state, all-county, and sectional music programs. CHOIR - First Row: Jayne, Weigel, Hansen, Wheeler, Eaton, Beck, Walter, Peirce.

A total of one hundred and ten points is required for a Merit Award. Fifty points must be earned in the scholastic field, while thirty points are needed in each of the two other divisions. The first award is made in bronze, the sec- ond in silver, and the third and fourth in gold. Girls who earn Merit Award keys receive them on a gold or silver chain. Boys get their awards attached to tie clips. The recipients are thus able to wear their awards with pride and dignity. Mr. Gottshall administers the Merit Award program.

ATIO AL H0 OR SOCIETY The National Honor Society seeks to stimulate students to improve in char- acter development and academic endeavors. Its activities, with which Miss War- burton ably assists as advisor, included fall and spring tappings, an annual Christmas Open House for graduate and undergraduate members, and service to the school as ushers, candy concessionaires, and coat checkers at athletic events. This year the Society set up a tutoring program, under the chairmanship of Richard Harris, to give help to'students who need it in various subjects. Teachers submitted, to the tutoring committee, lists of the students they thought could capably tutor other pupils. This year, the Society also built and painted a new Honor Society emblem to be used in the years to come by the students in the N. H.

Hamburg sent live seniors as delegates and five juniors as alter- nates, who will be delegates next year. Each school's group represented a particular nation. Acting as the So- viet Union, Hamburg's delegation worked hard not only during the meeting, but also in preparation for it. Thus it was able to act as a strong leader for the important Communist bloc. yraeuse itizenship Conference Each year four juniors and four seniors are selected from our school to attend the Citizenship Confer- ence which is held by Syracuse Uni- versity. At this meeting, hundreds of students from all over New York State compete for sixteen scholar- ships to Syracuse University. All candidates must participate in a series of speeches and discussions, and then rate each other. As a re- sult of this conference one Hamburg student has been awarded a full tuition scholarship, and two have received citations. First Row: Grigsby, VanDuzee, Billings, Viehe, Carter.

Senior Discussion Club Senior Discussion Club gives members excellent opportunities to voice their thoughts about current affairs. Throughout their high school history courses, students have been learning facts, theories, and other people's opinions. Here, they can form their own ideas and expose them to a group. Students are en- couraged to think more clearly, too, because when they come into contact with other people's conclusions, they usually become aware of additional facts about any situation or problem.

Twice each month the club met to discuss local, national, or interna- tional issues. Participation in the club gave the members valuable ex- perience in speaking and in organ- izing their ideas on a subject of more than passing importance. The topics chosen for discussion helped members gain a better understand- ing of current affairs. French Club The French Club is open to all students who have studied at least one year of French. The club's monthly meetings, under the able direction of the advisor Miss Warburton, are eagerly an- ticipated by its members. The purpose of the club is to help its members understand the French language, culture, and people. This is accomplished by songs, various games, and dis- cussions in which all the members participate. 9 First Row: Rader - Vice President, Byers - President, Anderson - Secretary.

PT German Club The German Club, composed of students who have completed at least one year of German, meets once every two weeks with Dr. King, the sponsor.

The team had a comparatively small squad this year, with only four seniors: Captain Jim Billings, Bill Spute, Rich Holl, and Walt Lyons. The six juniors comprising the rest of the squad gained valuable varsity experience which will make next year's team even more successful. The outstanding junior players were Dick Pohlman, joe Doolittle, Bob Pearson, David Czerniejewski, and James M2Colgin.

The team's outstanding runners were ' jim Anderson, Pat Dugan, captain-elect john McCreary, jim West, and Paul Wrestlln wma. The Hamburg High School wrestling team, coached by Mr. Richard Hover and captained by Ed Stuhlmiller, has been a credit to the whole school. Despite injuries at the beginning of the winter, the team soon returned to full strength for its third win' of the season, the 24-22 victory over Amherst. Outstanding wrestlers on the mats in 1958-1959 assure Hamburg of a successful team next year, although several senior members will not be returning.

Bowling Under the competent leadership of Mr. Quentin Bucher and Captain Dick Bauer, Hamburg High School's varsity bowling team had another very successful season this year. There was much excitement in the large audiences at Braymiller's Bowling RICHQRD FMUER Alleys as they watched the Hamburg team fight its way to second place in the dptdm closely contested Erie County Interscholastic Conference. . . Bill Grigsby, Dick Bauer, and Bob Fox maintained high averages through- out the year. The 1959 swimming team has made for itself a very impressive record. Team spirit, as well as individual ability, has been a deciding factor. The frequent winning of second and third places in races, as well as first, has been beneficial to the seasor1's record. Outstanding swimmers were jim Anderson and Paul Mansell for freestyle, Pete Weinrich and Howie Evert for backstroke, and Bill Carter, holder of several area pool records for butterfly.

Nevertheless, the junior varsity team had many good players. Bill Armitage as pitcher, Dave Czernie- jewski as first-baseman, and captain Ron Rucker as shortstop, led the team through the season. Under the coaching of Mr. Ray Walter, the team improved from game to game. All of the players gained both experience and ability. J. V. Track By participating in meets with other schools, the junior varsity track team gained knowledge that is necessary for the time when the boys become members of the varsity team. The freshmen and sophomores who made up the team were under the same training rules as the varsity. The skills learned now, will make them a stronger team in the future. l r First Row: Witman, Hornbeck, jackson, Walker, Reppenhagen, Hale, Shanks, West, Greeno, Corbran, Mr. Foster.

Cheerleaders Both varsity and junior varsity cheerleaders, under the supervision of Miss Byrnes, have kept the enthusiasm at a peak in Hamburg High School. As the representatives of our school, the cheerleaders have carried our pep, friendliness, and good sportsmanship to other area high schools. Their strong sense of school spirit and loyalty makes them avid supporters of our teams. The cheerleaders have led Hamburg's fans in cheers that have raised the roof. The enthusiasm of these leaders, as they encourage the spirit of the crowds of spectators, sends Hamburg High School's teams on to victory. Our games owe much of their success to the sparkle and pep of the cheerleaders. Durell, Mitchell Ladder Lasses n First Row: Finn, Wittmeyer. Second Row: Boyer, Roetzer, Witka.
