Our four years of study mingled with many good times are now drawing to a close. We spent the first two years of our high school career in Phelps Union and Classical School and the lastf two in the new Central Sch-ool. Our class was the first to have its Junior Prom: in the new gym. if I Commencement, though it marks the end of our high school days is realy only the beginning of a new life, in which the advan- tages of our school days will be of great assistance to us. I We have compiled this book, the Phelps .Highligh-ts as a record and a reminder ot' the many happy days spent in Phelps Central - School. We, the staff, sincerely hope that you, the readers, gain as much pleasure from reading our Highlights as we had compiling it. l l l 1 5 u N V--.WW-.-- Wa, , ,. ,,.-.-a l a,-.o o.

When we finally started for home the weather a c eare an e sun glowed rosily on the horizon. Almost unanimously we passed into our Sophomore year. Cuyler Bengtson was elected our class president. His cabinet consisted of William Crothers as vice- president and Walter Gleason as siecretary illld 'iI'921SlU'CI'- QU the evenmirf Of Maflffh 1, 1939 we again gathered at the school for our annual social get-together.. CAga1n we danced, played volley ball. ate ice cream and cake and went home fairly con- tented.l The success of the March 1 party called for another picnic at the close of the school year. Accordingly, we organized committees of all sorts and planned a repeat outing at Cayuga State Park. The weatherman this year favored us and we enjoyed ourselves thoroughly. Upperclassmen we were- That meant the Junior Prem and the purchasing of our rings. There were faint whisnerings of a trip to Washington but they were soon quelled: money was not available then, nor would it be available in lcoming months, so we concerned ourselves with things of the immediate future. Our rings came late in December of '39. Thev were handsome things and most of us' were 'pleased with them. Next came the Junior Prom fRomance Promi which was socially as well as financially one of the most successful events of several seasons. The elite of school and town danced to the smooth styling of Carl Dengler and His Orchestra in the new elalboratelv decorated gy-innasiumi. Those who attended the picnic at Roseland Park at the close of the year will no doubt recall some of the comical incidents which took place: Rcva's appetite for olivesg Mr. Dyke chasing a sponge cake as it rolled down the beachg .Miss Brown's coiffure after the wind had given it a permanent wave 2. our rides on the merry-go-round and the bumper cars. etc. The succes.s ot' our Junior year may be attributed to hardworking officers and the -class as a whole. Our officers were: president, Mary Jane Facerg vice-president, .s.hr1s Ruthven: secretary, Walter Gleasong treasurer, Cuyler Bengtson. At last we entered our Senior year and the time had Colne when it was necess- ary to really get down to work. Not that we especially liked work, but because we had to. The horrible thought of not graduating caused us to slave like demons in order that we might avoid the ultimate catastrophe that would inevitably face us. Efaltrcir Glealsloii was. elected president of the class. The vice-president was Cuyler eng son. e en Crough and Betty Sabin were chosen secretary and treasurer re- spectively.

FOOTBALL Playing six-man football for the first time in the historylof the school, Phelps Central ended up its five game schedule with a well-earned .victory over a Newark team which had beaten them in the first of a lwo game series. Starting with a squad of over 20 candidates, most of Whom had never seen a. football game, great strides were made in the first three weeks of practice as shown by the good performance against a stronger Palmyra team. The Orange and Black .showed a well balanced offense by scoring 24 points with a variety of passes. Karwecl: scored two, Dunning and Young one each to account for Phelps' points. Palmyra scored 36 points mostly on wide passes and line plays. Newark came to Phelps for the second game and went home with an 18 -.6 victory. The locals made over 300 yards by rushing and passing but failed to gain, in enemy territory. Don Youngs scored the only touchdown of the game. With only seconds to go and Phelps ahead 20 - 18, Palmyra recieved the ball on a punt and with the aid of some nice downfield blocking returned the ball for a thrilling game winning touchdown for a 25 - 20 win. DeVall, Young, Karweek and Sisson all scored. In a high scoring game in which 84 points were scored Dundee intercepted a Phelps lateral in the last minute of play to gain a 44 - 40 advantage. Walt Smith, who replaced Sisson, was outstanding with his pretty broken field running for re- peated gains. ' Losing two hard luck games but showing decided improvement as the season progressed, Phelps showed a hard blocking, hard tackling, and all-round finesse to upset a favored Newark team in the season finale. Outweighed and handicapped by a wet slow field, the locals slipped, slid and passed their wav to vietorv. Ite- sorting to tricky plays when in scoring territory the Orange and Black showed amazing ball handling ability with a wet, slippery ball as they worked reverses, end-around plays, and passes to completely baffle the Newark defense. Sisson scored 14 points with two touchdowns and two points after and Xllalt Smith scored the other touchdown to make it 20 - 12. , A Football Squad: Don Young, Full Back' Charles Dunning Halt' Back' Roeel Conklin, Half Back, Jack Sisson, Full Back: Walt Smith, Full Back, iAl'l,H2lll,SC, Eelnltexgltttcliatgd liarweck, End, John Needha,m, Endg Bill DeVall, End' Bob Hicks -- - ' - ' . , . ,, 1 ' D yen Jengstont Center, LaVerne Young, Center, Back, lom Steen, llaekg . vvight Petty, Back, Bill Crothers, End.

BASKET-BALL A glance at the court performances of the past year reveals that Phelps Cen- tral School enjoyed competition to the extent of six victories to ten losses in the newly created B-C Finger Lakes League. Playing its most difficult schedule in many years the Phelps quintet opened its 16 game schedule by losing a game to Manchester 25 to 16 and the followting week defeating Shortsville at Shortsville. Idd- Led .bv Jack Sisson and Charles Dunning the team was composed of Francis ings, Alfred Adams, Emmett Updyke, John Needham, Chris Ruthven, Vtlalter Bement, Donald Wheat, Richard Karweck and Arthur House. High spots of' the season include, the nip and tuck home opener against Man- chester, the defeat of Shortsville at Shortsfvilleg overtime defeat of Clifton Springs by 2 points at Clifton Springs, and the closing victory of the season over Clifton Springs by 1 point at home. Individual scoring honors went to Jack Sisson with a total of 89 points. John ' Al l Needham took second place with a total of 69 points. Iddings, Dunning, cams, ant Updyke followed in that order. The support the townspeople gave the team both at home games and away was one of the highlights of the season. 25 V-4,19-nvsf' -H2 v -1 .,.,-.aa-n- gn 2aL1-a--,:.-..:..a-..,...,- ...s.--mia--..,..:-,-,.........-1' A------.-s 1.4 .----U:-U N- --ff-' 5 to First Row: Adams, Sisson, Iddings, Needham, Du11ning Second Row: R.

BASEBALL With o11ly two games to our credit after the season of 1940, Phelps Central had little to be proud of as far as winning was concerned. But there was another phase of the the cjuestion that evidenced itself as the season progressed. Our fine sense of sportsmanship and general attitude drew the respect of every team in the league and despite the inexperience of most of our players the games were packed with thrills and magnificent plays. '4Mac McAllister and Tom Linehan alternated as pitcher while Roger Conklin took over Larry Goodmanffs spot as catcher. John Needham played his first season at first base, while Mike Iddings and Dick Karweck handled second and third re spectively. Short -stop was ably held by Don Young and center field by Ross Mc- Carthy. Chris Ruthven and VValt Bement vied for right field while Linford 'Croll played left field. Although our glory did not rise to the greatest heights during the past year we are earnestly looking forward to other years when we can capture honors in sportsmanship and ability alike. 26 K u Www 1 ., wx, avr Q Ui!!! .3 4, H' K V' V ' A' 'W ' vi .

PHYSICAL EDUCATION PROGRAM As a result of the stimulated interest shown in physical recreation tlirol1S'l10Ut the school, the first annual Physical Education Demonstration was Dfeseflted in the gymnasium March 26, 1941. Mr. David G. Miller, Physical iI1Stl'UCt0l', Dlanmffl and directed thisr huge program which was witnessed by more than 700 lp-eoplc. The demonstration consisted of twelve distinctive parts, each of which related directly to one or more phases of physical development. So that every class might benefit by the defmonst-ration, grades 1 through 12 participated actively in the various presentations given. Children of the lower grades. mfost frequently participated in the exercises dealing wfth rhythms and mimeti-cs, group, relay, and team. games, recreational marching, posture and dual combat. Each grade, starting with the first, was repre- sented by a definite stage of physical development. The main ideal behind this, is that the program taught in school complies with the mentality of the average youngster in a particular grade. That is, those in the fourth grade are more adapt- ed to games related to teamwork than those in the first grade and pupils of the eighth grade are more adapted to individualized training than. pupils of th.e fourth grade. Thius, each. succeeding class is fatrther advanced in .phystifcal training as a result of a definite program which is carried out during the entire school career of a student. The second half of the demonstration was comprised mainly of junior and sen- ior high students participation in team and recreational net games tvolley ball, deck tennis, badminton, and table tennisl, basketball, tumbling and stunts and work with heavy apparatus. The chief purpose of the various net games lies in the fact that they require no special skill nor do they call for expensive and cum- bersome materials in order to take an active part in them. They may be, therefore, carried over in college or used in outside recreation. Basketball, .being one of the most popular indoor sports, is highly encouraged among junior high boys and girls. It is not only fine for developing physical strength and coordination but, to some extent, also enriches the mind. It will ibuild material for future basket- ball teams and bring about more active interest in sports as a whole. Tumbling and work with heavy apparatus developes the upper arm and back. Strength, good form, balance and coordination are the most important requirements for these two sports. The presentations themselves were extremely well done and s-howed an enormous amount of work. The Physical Education Demonstration was chiefly presented for the .benefit of parents of the community. It endeavored to show them what is being done in Phelps Central School concer ' ff th ' - students. 11100 - 0 Dhyslcal development. andlwell being of its 28.

Although the junior high members have no voting' power they attend all meetings. The meetings, are held regularly every Wednesday morning at 8:15 o'cloek in the projection room. 'Ihe officers are: president, John Needham, vice-president, Doris Hareg secre- tary, Alice McCarthy, and treasurer, .lack Condit. The Student Council established a Lost and Found department and started a monitor system for use in the cafeteria during the noon hour. We also organlized a chapter of the National Honor Society which will be some- thing new for our school. The Council members acted as ticket takers at the ho-me football and basket- ball games. We have also drawn up a new system for the awarding of athletic letters, one which is less' complicated and much more efficient. 30 -. nm 'M ' . , H ' - 'QQQQ il, Q .1 i First Row: P. Crough, Hatch.

The club met every Thursday to discuss the composition of the yearbook. We tried to improve the book so that it would be a better book than any of the pre- ceding issues. This year all group pictures were taken in the gymnasium, which proved to be a successful plan. Our book also boasts of more pages and more pictures, making this a bigger and better book. May we take this opportunity to thank Miss Connolly for her assistance as our club advisor and also the community merchants! for their excellent co-opcra- tion by advertising in our book. 34 ...- ff . ri . . .

PROJECTION SERVICE CREW The Projection Service Crew have been very valuable in assisting the school to efficiently carry on its visual aid instruction. They have sacrificed much of their time in their loyalness and willingness to serve their school by relieving the faculty of the mechanics of visual instruction, and there-by permitting them to de- vote all the attention to the proper correlation and utilization of information Con- tained in the motion pifctures used. Their fellow-students, on the other hand, have consequently received the enrichment of teaching that so many students of other less fortunate schools can merely wish for. The personnel of this group are Cuyler Bengtson, Jack Condit, Linford Croll, Frank Fabrizi, Harold Fagnepr, William Hause, Robert Hicks, Robert Mclntyre, and Carl Mikolite. During the past year this group of boys along with Mr. Major, their director toured the Eastman Kodak and Bausch and Lomb works in RJ l .t 1 c ies er and inspect- ed the projection booth of the Loew's Rochester Theatre. The trip was both ed ucational and entertaining, and was enjoyed by all, 42 U 7 'Q A 'I ! ... h.f, lV I-xi - , , M, ,A , U. -4 - Autodranhf CCCCZQQQQQQQ :tc etc Q c:vQ7c:-oztqrczcoopjc-961: WAYNE MOTOR Sales Dodge and Plymouth Newark, N.
