0141 Wim wifi i HE Class of 1955 takes you back to September 6, 1954--the Soduskan staff reporting. A long graceful building, new- ly bound books, teachers' welcoming smiles, classmates eager to begin a new school year--to some this is an old story, to others a new one, but to all it is an ad- venture, a challenge, as Sodus Central once again opens its doors and we find all things as they were then...and...YOU ARE THERE! SCJDUSKAN Sodus Cenfrol School Sodus, New York 1955 When to the sessions of sweet silent thought We summon up remembrance of things past, We sigh the lack of many a thing we sought, And with old woes new wail our dear time's waste. zwsgwiq, C onienfs A ' Sf' A - N35-ix, . .

STELIANOU, did you find the people in Turkey friendly? What did they ask about us ? Do they have plumbing? Tell us about Ataturk...and so our first Com- munity Ambassador tirelessly answers questions about his good-will tour, a tour to make us the next-door neigh bors to a people half way around the earth.

This Was The Year Thai... IVE classrooms were opened in the new north wing. Mr. Scurrah and Mr. McGowan moved into rooms with windows! But soon Mr. Scurrah went back to the store room as... School population hit a new high of 1,415 pupils. New organizations were born: three bowling teams, the Junior Future Nurses Club, Drama-Arts, the Dance Band. The Class of 1954 won over 512,000 in scholar- ships. All high school students could choose their per- sonal advisors from among the faculty. The Junior High Basketball Team played ten games with other schools. We acquired two new busses, and two station wa- gons. We added a fifth first grade. Graduation was held on Saturday for the first time. Mr. Stelianou was Sodus' ambassador to Turkey for the summerg we exchanged students and teachers with Smiths Falls,Ontario, Canada, for four days. Our advertisers became patrons. We purchased a lovely silver tea service for the Homemaking Department. The adult education program was enlarged to in- clude drama fMr. Cooper, and 1ayman's law fGeorge Parsons., The Parent-Teachers Association became a well- established, constructively helpful organization in our' school. Coach McGinn ended his distinguished and impres- sive career as varsity basketball coach. His inspira- tional and untiring devotion to his teams has resulted in atradition ofgood basketball at Sodus. Since he will continue to teach physical education, none of the qual- ities of his fine stewardship will be lost to us. FIRST ROW: Marcia Norton, LIBRARIANg Thelma Scott, SOCIAL STUDIES.

Teachers Seek BeHer Methods Our priceless heritage is the American way of life, and nothing is more typical of the average American than his constant search for something better. The everlasting demand for better homes, better automobiles, better schools .... better everything .... has gone hand in hand with our devo- tion to freedom. Shields lt is the characteristic of this sear,ch that teachers should be looking constantly for better ways of teachingg the self-imposed demand for improving themselves, their methods, their philosophies, is evident from the increased num- ber of committees working on educational prob- lems. After nearly a year of work, the Philosophy Committee, with Mrs. Scott as chairman, made public its work for the January Z7 faculty meet- ing. Lively discussions followed on such sub- jects as drop-outs, grouping, social promotion, extra-class activities, diplomas, and awards, culminating in sanction of the committee's work by the entire junior-senior high faculty. Soon the recommendations will be presented to par- ents for their approval. Marks Committee Goes to Work Following the report of the Philosophy Com- mittee, the Marks Committee, composed of Mr. Shaver, Mr. Stelianou, Mr. and Mrs. Bellinger, Miss Welch, Mr. Cooper, Mrs. Cornish, and Chairman Miss Doyle, began to work in earnest to find ways of improving and clarifying our marking system. Room Mothe r s Organized A joint activity of mothers and teachers be- gan this year in grades kindergarten-second with the organization of room mothers. Room mothers assist teachers by going on field trips with the children, helping with parties, sewing, etc. The group has held several meetings and selected a chairman for each room. Each moth- er helps for two months. The chairman makes schedules and plans. Handw riting Committe e Meets February 14 the Handwriting Committee held its first meeting. Composed of represent- atives of grades K-6, Mrs. Hill, Miss Werner, Mrs. Aumann, Mrs. Tallman, Mrs. Rolfe, Mrs. Keefe, Mrs. Contant, and Mr. Scurrah, it is attempting to set up a developmental writing program. This program will provide for more consis- tence in drill, practice, and method. The com- mittee will work on such problems as how to hold a pencil, where should cursive writing be- gin, how can we help the left-handed child, etc. Class Activities Revised In an attempt to simplify and make more effective the class activities program in the high school, a committee chairmanned by Mr. Dority and composed of several class and or- ganization advisors, formulatedanew plan for carrying on such activities. Each year several faculty members act as advisors to Mr. Hungerford. This year Mr. Erwin, Miss Welch, Mr. Shaver, Mrs. Cornish, and Mr. Ketcham are serving. This group forms an effective liaison between the admin- istration and the faculty. The work of the Salary Committee of the Faculty Club fMr. Shaver, Mr. Smith, Miss Doyle, and Mr. Dorityl was culminated in an agreement between the committee and the Board of Education in regard to a new salary schedule for teachers. New Teachers and Cadets Arrive The school year brought several new teach- ers to Sodus: Mr. Henri, Mrs. Clark, Miss Van- Aken, Miss Bush, Miss McAvoy, Mrs. Blaisdell, Mrs. Pittman, and Mrs. Ryerson. Miss Doyle, Mr. Cooper, Mrs. Burcroff, Mrs. Aumann, and Mr. Bellinger helped cadet teachers from near-by colleges and universities become initiated into the profession.

Canada Comes To Sodus ANADA came to Sodus in 1954 in a new experiment in international un- derstanding. Under the sponsorship of Student Council, outstanding students from Collegiate Institute, Smiths Falls, Ontario, Canada visited Sodus for four days in exchange with us. Mr. G. A. Oatway, Principal of the Smiths Falls School, wrote afterward, Such exchanges should be quite effec- tive in building up an even greater mu- tual understanding and respect between our countries....I learned a great deal about your educational system...our staff enjoyed meeting your teachers and having your students in their classes... this has been an entirely happy experi- ence... Some of the success can surely be measured by the many happy exchange visits we've had with our Canadian friends since the initial friendships were made last spring. In January, SCHOOLS IN ACTION, a publication of the New York State Education Department, featured our story. 1,1 rQfy i - cet CI-IOOI.

I SODUS STUDENT COUNCIL WRITES CONSTITUTION FOR NEW COUNTY COUNCIL EW progress in student council services to their schools became possible a few months ago when representatives of the twelve high schools in Wayne County joined together in the adoption of the Wayne County Student Council Association. A committee of Sodus Council members Gay Mills and William McGowan wrote the document and distributed cop- ies to the schools. Formal adoption took place at the fall meeting at Williamson Central School. The objectives of the county association are to promote understanding and good will, provide for exchange of ideas, and in general to further the in- terests of all student associations of Wayne County. Two Meetings Yearly HE Constitution provides for two dinner meet- ings a year--one in the fall, one in the spring --and additional special meetings when necessary. The President must be a Student Council Presi- dent of his school and must have at least one year of experience as a council member. The County Council advisors are the Student Council advisors of the President's school. There are annual dues of SZ per school. ' 37 More Exchange As semblies ECAUSE of high student and faculty interest in exchange assemblies with other schools, the Council arranged for exchange assemblies with Leavenworth Central School and Newark High School. Also, a group of young artists was brought here from Syracuse University. Because so many people expressed the wish that? permanent collection be made of the daily prayers and thoughts for the day made by Council members, the Council purchased a book for this record. Following periodic inspections, the Council made recommendations to students regarding keeping rooms, desks, and halls in good condition. Supports Community Ambassador Project O indicate its support of the Community Am- bassador Project, the Council voted to sup- port financially the community committee in its plan to bring a student from a foreign country to live in Sodus for a school year. Council Representatives attended the annual District Meeting of School Student Councils held this year at Honeoye Falls. Later our owngroup affiliated with the National Association of High School Student Councils. SODUSKAN RECEIVES FIRST CLASS RATING HE '54 SODUSKAN made history biy being the first Sodus yearbook to receive a First Class Honor Rating in the National Yearbook Critical Service of the National Scholastic Press Associa- tion. The '55 SODUSKAN staff has spent six months in attempting to meet deadlines...for write-ups, drawings, pictures, typing, lay-outs and ofcourse, money. By dint of everyone's hard work--Miss Moore's know-how, Mr. Murphy's photography and the staff's good intentions the yearbook went to press on March ith--another big accom- plishment of our senior year.

SWING CHOIR ATTENDS PAJAMA GAMES SMALL MUSIC GROUPS ENTERTAIN WITH STYLE IGHLIGHTING the Swing Choir musical year was the group's attendance at the gay top hit, Pajama Game at the Auditorium in Rochester. Humming the haunting Hernando's Hideaway as they left the theater, already these thirty-four singers were evaluating this experienceg inevit- ably they would have ideas for improving their own inimitable style. The tenth anniversary year saw the Swing Choir singing in performances at Keuka College, Penn Yan, Wolcott, and Newark, and in obser- vance of the World's Day of Prayer at the Pres- byterian Church. Among Sodus' traveling musicians are several smaller singing groups: Girls' Trio, the Five Tones, and Senior Girls' Octette.
