Individualportraits ot' the senior class were taken in the fall by Moser Studio. The advertising campaign was started in December. 'lhc Staff realizes what an important part is played by the merchants who advertised in this annual and want to thank them, for without their co-operation the annual would not be a reality. ln February, group pictures were taken by Moser Studio. ln March, write-up assignments were given and the subscription drive was held. Preparations were also under way to send the copy to the printer, The Echo Press. Much ofthe success of this annual is owed to the faithful help and guidance of our advisors, Miss Mary Louise Connolly and Mr. Wilbur K. Hartmann. We are sincerely grateful to them for their help. 6 To Miss Mary Louise Connolly, our thanks is given for her cn- durance and patience. Her assist- ance has made our four years i 5 successful ones. To Miss Emily Anderson, we ex- press our utmost thanks. Through her patience and understanding of our problems, we have had four enjoyable years of high school. To Mr. Elliott Johnson, we owe our success in activities through- out high school. Without his en- thusiasm and guidance, we could not have achieved so much. We, the class of 1954, wish to dedicate this issue of thc Phelps Highlights to our three advisors. 5 Seadafz Snape Mr. YVilbur Ii. Hartmann, Vice Principal Mr. Grovc A.

September, 1950, found fifty-three eager freshmen looking forward to the long-awaited high school years. With Miss Emily Anderson, Miss Mary Louise Connolly and Mr. Elliott Jolmson as our advisors, we chose the following officers: Charles DeVVeaver, president, 'thomas Salisbury, vice-president, Sue Tyman, sec- retaryg and Jacqueline Banwell, treasurer. We presented two one-act plays for our assembly, entitled Papa Pepper's Bombshellt' and House -Guest. ' A bake sale at Combs' on March 17 and a magie show featuring Lew Thrasher made up our money-making activities for our freshman year. In September, 1951, there were forty-eight vigorous sophomores back in the halls of P. C. S. With our advisors, we chose Frederick Richmond as president, Nellie House, vice-president, Carol Tiffany, secretary, and Sue Tyman, treasurer. Our money-making activities this year were a bake sale and the sale of bull- dog decals and felt emblems. ln the fall of 1952 forty-seven juniors happily moved into the main hall. The New York trip now seemed within our grasp. Our officers were Frederick Richmond, president, Thomas Salisbury, vice-president, Carol Tiffany, secretary, and Sue Tyman, treasurer. Our biggest money-making project was our very successful play, Ml: Beane From Lima,', which greatly increased our treasury. Other projects were the sale of basketball pencils, a well-received roller skating party, and our junior ptrom, Stairway to the Stars. ln November we ordered our class rings and, after a long wait, they finally arrived early in April. We began our big year as seniors with a rollcall of forty-four. Again we elected Frederick Richmond, president, Thomas Salisbury, vice-president, Carol Tiffany, secretary, and Sue Tyman treasurer. To increase our funds for the Easter trip we started a series of money-making projects immediately. On Friday, November 13th, the class of 1954 presented Tish , a comedy by Mary Roberts Rinehart, which brought us closer to our trip total. Our magazine drive, besides setting records, nearly doubled our funds. VVe also sold refreshments at the basketball games. ' A series :of skating parties and our senior ball, Holly Holiday , made our senior trip a reality. Now that our trip is over and our time here has ended, we realize, in review- ing our successes, that we owe much gratitude to our advisors, who have guided us so well through these years. V 22 ? Scanning through the newspaper yesterday, June 10, 1964, my eye was drawn to this blaring advertisement: International Sports Car Show -- Grand Opening June 11 at the Empire Theater, Broadway, New York City. And farther down was this notation: Sponsored by Cain Motors . So John Cain's dream finally came true -- an auto show of his own and at the world renowned Empire Sports Car Theater, no less! This was something I couldn't miss, so the next day I hopped onto one of Ameriea's most up-to-date buses and took the short trip fro1n my home on the Hudson, along the Thruway to the big city. At one of the toll gates where we stopped, I glanced out the window and saw Jim Driscoll collecting the tolls. He had rigged up a special chair so that he never had to stand up. Arriving at the entrance of the theater, I was greeted by John, who seemed surprised to see me and commented that many of our old classmates were there. We talked for a while, and I told him about riding from the station in a taxi driven by Sylvia Roberts. Syl told me that Anne Steadman had a taxi company too, called Hot Rods, Inc. She told me that Emily Calhoon and Edith Edington had both married and were living on big farms in the Midwest. We were in such deep conversation that Syl forgot about her driving and scraped the fender of one of the Maslyn Transport Company's largest vans, driven by the boss himself, Frannie Maslyn. He was pretty mad till he saw who it wasg then he understood! We asked him ab-out his buddy, Bob Lutz, and he informed us that Bob had bought a farm in Canada. The fender scraping incident was investigated by a motorcycle cop, none other than Gerry Yancey. John laughed and said he had had several run-ins with Gerry while in New York. There was so little time and so Inany people to see that we decided to split up and meet back in the lobby at 5:00. It's about 5:00 now and here comes John. Well, John, when I started down the right aisle, I soon saw several women huddled together and talking a mile a minute. They sounded familiar and, sure enough, there stood Carol Tiffany, Jackie Banwell, Bonnie Hatch, and Mary Ellen Travis. Carol is head matron at a large orphanage in New York. Still writing poetry in her spare time, she has already published one book and is working on another. She said that Sue Tyman is happily married and working in the Treas- ury Department in Washington, D. C. Jackie owns a dance studio in the heart of the big city. She has been back home in Phelps recently and found the land- scape considerably ehanged. Five Points no longer has only the Coffee Shoppe. Joan Brinkerhoff has enlarged it into a modern drive-in restaurant, and right a- cross from it Marcia Grube has a tourist home. One of the most beautiful of the new homes for which Phelps has become noted belongs to Evelyn Hand, now Mrs. Chuck Hefferon. It is an ultra-modern deal which Evie's mother gave them on their 5th wedding anniversary. 23 Senand444Pup4eeg. f'Doing window displays for Maey's with some free lance interior decoration thrown in is keeping Bonnie busy. She said Jackie Dyke is in Europe studying for her Ph. D. degree in music as part of a post-graduate course at Potsdam. Mary Ellen has come a long way since high school, too. She is a head nurse at Bellevue Hospital. It was wonderful to talk to the career girls of our class. l told them about my 'career' as a homemaker, showed them pictures of my four children and our home on the Hudson, which Dick and I finally finished building. Ambling on, l noticed Laura Gaylord and a man whom she introduced as her husband, inspecting the latest model Jaguars. CSO Laura finally got her mantb They live in Buffalo and are in New York for a vacation. She said Helen Graves is in Buffalo, too, working for big insurance agency there. Once more I went wandering and the last of my classmates I saw was Agnes Finewood. She looked bright and happy. I found out the reason was that she and her husband had just bought a lovely new home on Long Island. Lucky girltt' Have you seen any of our old gang, John? I surely have, Nellie! I saw Don Burnett, who is chief bookkeeper for Cain Motors. He was making the final arrangements for taking delivery on a new Mer- cades gas turbine, being exhibited for the first time in this country at our show. I also saw John Buisch, who is playing the background nmsic for the displays. l understand he is now making a run at the Copa-Cabanag and Paul DeRuyter, who is running the refreshment stand for the show. He now runs Phelps's largest restaurant. All the art work in the booths was done under the exclusive direction of the Jane lidington Art Studios of Boulder City, Colorado. Then I saw Roger Goodman, who was looking over the MGS. He's thinking of trading his old one in on one of the late Super Deluxe models. He is teaching industrial arts in the Binghamton Central School. On his way to the show he stopped in Newburgh and purchased some books in Bill French's self-service Book Store. He also said he has gotten the oil changed in his MG at Richmond and Howard's Deluxe Ford Garage just outside of New York. As I started on down the aisle, I spotted a man in hip boots with a fishing rod in one hand, a rifle in the other, and a movie camera siting over one shoulder. This turned out to be that noted lecturer on hunting and fishing, Paul Hulster. He was with his partner, Paul Perkins. They said that they had taken hunting trips to Africa and the jungles of India, and fishing trips to Alaska and Canada. They are giving lectures and showing colored moving pictures on their trips to audiences all over the world. At the next booth I met Janet Hildreth and her husband -- guess who! They were looking at the Allord three-passenger models. They said that they were go- ing to trade their two-passenger Jaguar in on one as soon as they returned from a trip to Europe. I over-heard Janet say her dad had contacted Bob Webb on his radio. Bob owns his own radio and television shop in California. I guess Bob finally got his ham license. He was working on it while we were in high school. Continued on page 74 24 1? AMBITION WEAKNESS PET PI EVE rv.

The cast was as follows: Tish, Jacqueline Dyke, Lizzie, Nellie House, Ag- gie, Mary lillcn Travis, Ellen Leighton, Bonnie Hatch, Charita, Evelyn Haudg Luther Hopkins, Charles DeXVeaverg Callie Hopkins, Carol Tiffany, Charlie Sands, Thomas Cheney, Bettina Trent, Sylvia ltobertsg Sheriff Lem Pike, ltobert VVebbg Wesley Andrews, ltoger Goodman, Denby Grimes, .lohn Caing and Dorice Gay- lord, Nancy Johnson. Tish, a middle-affed siinster blunt, outs woken, and entirely lovable, decides a I 3 to get eloser to nature and lead a simpler life . So it is that Tlsh takes her two companions, Lizzie and Aggie, into more trouble than you can shake a stick at. Lizzie wires 'l'ish's nephew, Charlie Sands, telling him of his aunt's latest pro- ject and advising him as to their destination. Charlie flies down to the Southwest and stops off at The Eagle Hotel some- where near the Mexican Border. He promptly falls in love with the proprietor, Ellen Leighton. Ellen has troubles because Luther Hopkins is threatening to foreolose unless she pays off her debt. Un top of this there is a bandit loose and only Sheriff Len' Pike is around for protection. He is the type of sheriff who almost got his man . Poor star-struck Callie always seems to be getting sent home from the hote' by her father, Luther Hopkins. Continued on page 44 26 5enchfz6J4447'uZ. A dream became a reality on t.he rainy morning of April 19, when the senior class embarked on its long awaited New York Trip. Forty-one damp but cheerful seniors and their chaperones, Mr. and Mrs. Roy Cheney, Mr. and Mrs. S. J. Dyke, and Mr. and Mrs. Howard Travis, met at the bus garage at 7:30 A. M. to board the buses which would take them to Lyons where they would board the train that would take them to the big city. The train arrived at 9:00 A. M. and the entire class settled down to catch their breath. The time on the train was spent in singing, reading, talking, playing cards or in exploring the rest of the train. When we arrived at G. C. T., a bus was waiting for us which took us to the Shelton Hotel, our home for the next four days. After getting settled in our rooms, we all went out for dinner and then to liadio City Music Hall to see the movie Rose-Marie, the magnifieient Easter Pag- eant, and the Rockettes. After this, some went to Times Square and the rest went back to the hotel where the day's events were discussed. On Tuesday morning we arose tired but eager, and after breakfast we all walk- ed to Rockefeller Center and went up to the observation roof to enjoy a breath- taking view of the still unfamiliar city. At 10:00 we took a bus to the UN where we enjoyed a guided tour which brought to reality the immensity of this world organization. After lunch, some of the class toured the French liner, Flandre. Others shopped, went sports-car hunting, or made use of the luxurious swimming pool in our hotel. Tuesday evening we went to see the movie, Yankee Pasha and the floor show featuring Julius Laliosa. This was enjoyed by everyone and afterwards we all went to Broadway and did our share of touring on the Great White Way. Wednesday morning after some of the class went to see Dave Garroway, our still excited class boarded a bus for a lectured tour of upper and lower New York from Grant's Tomb to Battery Park. We stopped at the Cathedral of St. John the Divine and walked through Chinatown where we all enjoyed the strange sights of this truly unusual place. After lunch we went to see the Broadway show, Wonderful Town which starred Carol Channing. That evening we went to the Perry Como Show and then to the Hotel New Yorker where we all enjoyed an informal dance sponsored by the Van Zile Tours. Thursday morning, still marvelling at the gorgeous weather, we boarded a boat for the Circle Line Cruise which gave us a wonderful excursion around the city, including the Statue of Liberty, Ellis Island, and many other inviting sights. ln the afternoon part of the class toured the N. B. C. Studios where they saw some familiar TV stars, while the rest explored the subways or took a much needed nap. At 6:30 P. M. we had our class banquet in the Grille Room at the Hotel Taft where Vincent Lopez and his orchestra entertained us while we enjoyed a wonderful meal. After dinner we danced and then took one last look at Broadway before we returned to the Hotel Shelton to pack for the trip home. For the grand climax, many of the class saw President and Mrs. Eisenhower as they left the Waldorf- Astoria Hotel.

With the return of six veterans from last year's team, Phelps had hopes for a prosperous season. Although the team did not take the championship, it did finish fourth in the league with a record ol' nine wins and seven losses. The boys also defeated Ovid and lost to Waterloo in non-league play. There were several outstanding accomplishments during the season. Per- haps the most exciting experience was the defeat of Clifton Springs on their home court for the first time since the new gym was built. The game was verv close all the way, but Phelps was in the lead with five seconds to go. However it ended in a tie and went into an overtime. In the end Phelps came out on the winning end ot the score. Another highlight of the season was that Bill Filiatreau scored 383 points for a new all-ti111e high school record. Don tlmer, Morgan Knapp, Gary Gleason, ltay Phillips, Bill Filiatreau, lien Uversiaugh, lxen Conklin, t.l1arles Amidon and Hay Vanltemel will return next year and should give Phelps a league win ning team.

Election rules of the nation- wide organization require that candidates have spent at least one year in the local school, and that not more than twenty per cent of the junior and senior classes be chosen. A committee consisting of the principal, three teachers, and three students already in the society, elects the new members, who, after their initiation, are entitled to wear the emblem of the society, the keystone pin. In March, Donald Burnett, Nellie House, Janet Hildreth, Thomas Salisbury and Sue Tyman from the senior class, and Ann Connor, Barbara Denniston, Ray- mond Phillips, and Donald Ulmer from the junior class were elected to join Charles DeWeaver, Jacqueline Anne Dyke, Frederick Richmond, and Carol Tiffany, four seniors who were elected in their junior year. Since its establishment in 1941, the Phelps Chapter, Number 2551, of the Nat- ional Honor Society has inducted one hundred and eight students, including those chosen this year. All these young men and women have been successful in their chosen vocations, thus justifying the faith put in them by their teachers and fellow students at the time of their election into the society.
