We've had fun - curricular and "extra-curricular. " You, our parents, gave us encouragement when we needed it most. Now, because of your competent guidance and encouragement we have attained something that no one will ever be able to take away from us ' ' , our High School education. We realize and are grateful for what you have done for us. Because of this we wish to dedicate our yearbook, the '58 Cahotatea to you, our Parents! Om atS' Stillwater Central School is not just a building, a group of students a faculty - it is all this and much, much more. It is a way of life, Our Way of Life. During the past few years it has offered us countless opportunities: a chance to plan for the future, to construct a sure foundation of knowledge on which to build a career and a life, to de- velop warm, enduring friendships, to learn by doing. We're proud of this, Our Way of Life, grateful for all it has given us - a chance to learn, to see and grow, to find the truth, and make it ours, the lingering joy of work and play with those who know and love us best, and honest pride in work well done, the solitude of deep deep thoughts. And now we go - we leave behind this Way of Life, but all these thoughts, bright memories, are in our hearts, and ours forever. We hope that as you read and reread this 1958 Cahotatea, you will grow to love it, for recalling the precious moments captured in these pictures, you may live . . . again. OUR WAY OF LIFE Editor -in -Chief YEARBOOK STAFF Yearbook Staff: Sallie Wheeler, Carole Zerbarini, Rosemary Fuller, Gail DeCoteau, Linda Kellogg, Doug Case, Gail Payne, Jean Carley, Pat Bennett, Pat Church, Ginger Baker, and Mike Sullivan, Business Manager. BEVERLY LANE Editor WILLIAM BARRINGER JAMES MORRISSEY Class Advisor Yearbook Advisor ROBERT SEAMAN, Principal PR1NCIPAL'S MESSAGE As a class, you have had the singular privilege of being the first class to graduate from the new high school. Moreover, as a group you are privileged to enter upon your life as adults in a nation at peace. The best wishes of all who have been concerned with your school years are extended to you--along with the hope that each of you will find the rich and full life you desire. You are charged, however, with the responsibility of living up to the high ideals of this free nation, remaining alert to challenges which may deny to future generations this precious heritage. Congratulations to each and everyone. It is with profound hope that I wish you all success and happi- ness throughout your lifetimes. Robert Seaman BOARD OF EDUCATION it in E. Smith, M. Figiel, D.

Homework and changing classes conditioned us to the four years which loomed before us. We, then, became the babes of the high school, namely Freshmen, and gave our first dances and food sales. The funds, we received, began our treasury for the Senior Washington trip of our future. At the end of that year, we had our first class picnic. As Sophomores, we managed to achieve a tremendous accomplishment--"Say it with Music, " our first class play. This was an outstanding financial and social success which was the first of several plays that set the pattern. The cast in particular will never for- get the fun they had at its rehearsals. As Juniors, we had several successful dances and food sales. We also followed the tradition of holding a dinner in honor of the Seniors on Class Day. We helped put on the Junior-Senior Ball of '57 at which a Princess and court from our class were chosen. During our four years of high school, most of us participated in some field of sports. Some of the boys played on the basketball team and a number of the girls boosted the team's morale. as cheerleaders for S, C, S, In our Junior year, the girls on our intramural basketball team proudly won the championship of the high school. Finally, the class of '58 became Seniors and began the most hectic of our four years. The yearbook, card and magazine sales, and the Senior play, "Danger Girls Working, " took up much of our time. The Washington trip was our most memorable experience as a class--loads of fun, we'll never forget! And then the beautiful Senior Ball and our graduation ended twelve wonderful years, we shared together. As we walked down the aisle with our diplomas in our hands, we realized that we had completed a very important part of our lives, and that we would always have happy memories of Stillwater Central and . . . O UR WAY OF LIFE.

In less than a minute we find ourselves in front of the "Swank, " which is located in busy New York City. As we step through the door we are greeted by none other than Jean Wolff, who tells us that she is the owner of a string of restaurants throughout the country. The other guests are just beginning to arrive and as we look toward the door we see Gail Payne and David Mehang Pinky has his own milk route and his wife, Gail, works very hard taking care of their extensive chicken farm. Now everyone looks toward the door as the famous Douglas Case enters. He was the first one to reach the moon and he came back with this startling news, "there aren't any green men. " with him is Pat Church who tells us that she is a model of space suits for the tall girl. Next we see Virginia Baker who has her own television show. Her theme song is, "I Dream of Donnie with the Light Brown Hair. " As we look out the window we see a huge plane landing. The first person to get out is John McLaughlin who has taken the place of Elvis Presley. Right behind him we see Calvin Kirby, who is his bodyguard. He tells us that he hasn't found his dream girl, but isn't going to give up yet. We are happy to find that John has brought quite a few of our classmates with him. Jean Far- nan has become a great actress, and her latest movie is entitled, "The Joker. " Betty Ann Flynn works for the New York Times and is very excited because she has just been promoted and now has her own "Gossip Column. " Herbie Phillips is an engineer and is very much in demand be- cause of the quality of his work. George Kerwood has one of the biggest dairy farms in the state and has made quite a name for himself in the agricultural field. The last two people to get off the plane, are the airline stewardess and the pilot. Why it's our own Beverly Lane and Tom Guttridge! They look just charming. Neither one of them can be surpassed in their chosen professions. Well now, here comes Pat and Ralph Marshall. They have a very successful garage at the Four Comers, and their business is really booming. Carole Zerbarini comes rushing in and tells us that she can't stay long because she left her six children with her husband, who just can't cope with them. Right behind her is Regina Duffney who is a housewife, but not an ordinary one because in her spare time she does commercials on TV. Rosemary Fuller, 'The Miss Petite, " of 1968 comes strutting in just as cute as ever. With her are Marilyn Parker and Alice Phillips, who are both private secretaries. We find that they are happily married to their bosses, who aren't really the bosses after all. Both Michael Sullivan and John Sheridan are great scientists. John has finally perfected his rocket, and Mike has taken over Mr. Borst's place back at S,C, S, The door opens and we see Jean Carley the greatest novelist of our time. Well, I guess everyone is here now. Wait a minute! Here comes Gail DeCoteau. She has the distinction of being the first one married out of our class, as usual she was late, in fact, she almost missed her wedding. As for we, ourselves, we are both happily married to Service Men and have traveled all over the world with them. Suddenly everything falls silent as Jean Carley reads a passage from her best seller, "School Days at S,C, S, " While she is reading we can picture our old alma mater and see everyone as they were then. The scene is so realistic that we can hear voices echoing throughout the halls, and hear the school bell ring. ln a flash all the fun of our school days pass in review before our eyes, and at this time I think all of us wish we could return to those wonderful days of the past. Sallie Wheeler and Linda Kellogg lr The greatest day of all our years ls Graduation, now it nears. So, for the Class of '58, we've something to say 'Ere we leave S.C.S. on our Graduation Day. Ginger Baker, first on the list, By all the kids, will surely be missed, With her voice she's sure to impress And in the future become a great success. Pat Bennett is our studious one But this brainy gal is lots of fun. In life has but two aims: To become Ralph's wife and a Physicians' Aide A girl who has no trouble at all Is Jean Carley - - both pretty and small. She hopes a secretary to be For a boss who has a comfy knee. Doug Case, who's an ambitious lad Could easily run the store for his dad. But this young fellow who'll win fame: Would rather star in a basketball game. Gail DeCoteau, not too often in class, Has a good brain, and is sure to pass. Mincey takes up all her spare time, A cute couple they are, How they shine! Regina Duffney is a very quiet girlg At cracking jokes, she tries to be no Berle, Thank goodness we have a few girls like she For without her we'd soon lose all sanity. Jean Farnan a gay, friendly lass, Seems the happiest gal in the class. 0600 So when stress or trouble threaten you See Jean - she's sure to pull you through. Betty Ann Flynn is another girl that's gay She seems to be bright and happy all day, Without Betty who is always this way To keep us so happy, we ought to pay. Wherever we are there's always a demand For Rosemary Fuller to be on hand, She's jolly, peppy, and full of fun, She's won the heart of everyone. Tom Guttridge, witty in every way, Will surely make good someday. He passes his time in his father's car Nothing will stop his treading the tar. Linda Kellogg, the blue-eyed wonder Very seldom pulls a blunder . In French class she's simply great, flf she 's on time and not ten minutes latej. Next comes George Kerwood who is very shy, He's unlike the rest and that's no lie. Though George will never be an orator We're glad that, to noises, he doesn't cater. Added to our growing line Is Cal Kirby, qThe lad always on time Q Pj "My work's always done," Is a phrase that to Cal means nothing but fun Bev Lane is head of our yearbook staff Has a pleasant smile and a quiet laugh But whenever we see her day or night, That smile she has makes things seem right. Ralph Marshall a guy who loves to argue, Can always find a bone to pick with you. Though, while he argues we Seniors can trace, A smile he can 't hide that 's there on his face. John McLaughlin, to this we attest By the entire school will surely be missed, He's helped us all from beginning to end, It's certain the school will miss such a friend. Pinky Mehan never was a great flirty He didn't go crazy over any skirt. Of course for this there is a reason: Gail caught him early in the season. Marilyn Parker buddy of Alice P. Is full of vim, vigor and vitality She lives in the country on a farm She's liked by all because of her charm. Gail Payne, our southern gal, Is thought by all to be a pal. She does irnitations that are really great, If ever down South, she'll surely rate. Alice Phillips, the quiet type, Usually sits home at night She does her homework as you can see For a secretary she hopes to be. Next comes Herb Phillips, who seems very shy, He's like his sister and that's no lie. Though Herbie's not interested in girls today, Someday the right one will come his way. The next in line is John Sheridan, His aptness to speak has never left him. In History class he was seldom ir1 doubt, Unlike some others, he answered right out. Mike Sullivan our great salesman, Could really outsell the best of them. By sales, he has his Senior trip paid for He certainly found buyers by the score. Sallie Wheeler, almost last on the list, Was always very noisy in a certain class But, Sallie, in spite of all her talk, Is really famous for her springy walk. Jean Wolff with her laugh unique Always awakens the class each week. Except for the times she falls asleep, Because of the late hours Ed makes her keep. Carole Zerbarini, who's a popcorn eater Is a good customer for any theater. She also likes many other things: Including beautiful diamond rings. The last rhyme is done for each pupil dear Oh! Just a minute - I forgot I was hereg Pat Church whose aim in life is a nurse to be So she can sit on the Doctor's knee. The majority of the class you will agree, Is each one a girl including me. We may not go down in the Hall of Fame But in school, we had fun just the same. The teachers of this school I know Will surely hate to see us go But now its time I must confess To say farewell to dear S.C.S. M47 ' by Two impractical Daydreamers Ginger Baker singing BASE?

Once again SCS heard the clash of equipment and the signals of the quarterback after serving a two year probationary period due to the lack of men. Inexperience and size were the main factors which accounted for Stillwater's un- usually poor season. These items are not listed as excuses for our record, but we do think that they should be considered. The more experienced and heavier teams of Salem, Burnt Hills, Greenwich and Cambridge were the winners in the Warrior's four games. In the few games that they played, the boys showed considerable improvement and displayed a higher caliber of ball handling. We are looking forward to a better football season next year. We hope that the new recruits, who replace the Seniors, "Pinky" Mehan, Doug Case, and Tom Guttridge, will play as well as they did.

Seniors Co-Captains "Our Coach" DICK NOONAN The basketball squad really had its ups and downs during the season, but as though in a last grasp for glory, the team came through in splendid style. Coach Noonan :shifted the players a couple of times during the season looking for a winning combination. He finally hit upon one which "clicked" and gave us wins in the final two games of the season. These wins gave us an overall record of 4 wins out of 18 games. These wins brought us into a play-off with Waterford, the only other class D school in our league, for the sectionals. This game was played after the yearbook went to press. We are looking forward to a very successful season next year! There it goes!" "I got it! " "Where is it?
