Attica High School - Torch Yearbook (Attica, NY)

OUR ALMA MATER THE TORCH 1941 Published b THE SENIOR CLASS ATTICA HIGH SCHOOL ATTICA, N. Y. tyoAeML ld Because of the wisdom and foresight of our noble American ancestors, we Seniors are now graduating from a Public High School into democratic life. Up until this time we have led a very sheltered existence—filled with thoughts of entertainment and a minimum of work. Throughout the last year however, our minds have gradually become accustomed to the fact that this leisurely life is to be no more. We have to think of our future—our occupations or our further schooling. Some of the boys leaving High School with their diplomas clutched firmly in their hands have thoughts of a military career. Working for our country—waving high the Torch of Freedom and Democracy. Some have other plans. Mechanical, agricultural, political or perhaps medical ideas fill their minds. Whatever their aim, whatever their goal, we are sure they will achieve success and make America proud. As for the girls who are graduating, their lot is not to be overlooked. Certainly our American republic cannot forget its nurses, dietiticians, secretaries, teachers and other indespensible females! In this time of strife, women are becoming more and more important at home. It has become more and more vital that the girls in this country should have a proper education to fit them for the work which must follow. Every year the number of girls graduating from High School has increased. This means that there are more educated women now than ever before. The privilege of a free High School education along with the other enviable advantages enjoyed by young American men and women should not be taken lightly. We are fortunate indeed to be living in a country where our educational opportunities are unlimited; in a country which is free from dictators and governed by the people. We the Seniors of 1941 are proud—proud to be able to be graduated from an American High School—proud to be Americans—proud to carry the Torch of Liberty high. D. B. HARRINGTON In the Year during which Mr. Harrington has been Principal of Attica High School, he has proven himself to be a great Source of Inspiration and Guidance to the Senior Class. It is with a sincere feeling of Gratitude and Indebtedness that the Class of 1941 dedicates this Ninth issue of The Torch” to Mr. D. B. Harrington. • ADMINISTRATION • CLASSES • SPORTS • MUSIC • ORGANIZATIONS • ADVERTISEMENTS BOARD OF EDUCATION President Vice-President T recsurer Clerk ......... Dr. Leo C.

The Torch held high will help you to March on to Victory! Though the going may be rough, You can prove that you are tough. Never say you’ve tried enough March on to Victory! Show the world that you can fight For the weak, the poor, the right. The Torch will furnish all your light, March on to Victory! Always have a higher aim, Find the straight and narrow lane. The world will long recall your name, And you'll March on to Victory! —Dawn Fox SENIORS SENIOR CLASS HISTORY The first two years that our superior Class of 1941 spent in High School were of mediocre importance. Contrary to our present policy, we spent all of our time studying and had little time for extra-curricular activities. As Freshmen we elected George Spears, President, with Kenneth Clement doing his duty as Vice-President. Elsie Volk was Treasurer; Arthur Golombek, Secretary, and Deanna Nowak our Class Representative. Young and innocent, we contributed a school room scene to Stunt Night. But with our meager intelligence we couldn’t put it across. How times have changed. We had learned a lot by the time we beecame Sophomores but we still earned the title Silly Sophs.” Our mock-wedding went over well at Stunt Night however, and we won second prize. This year we showed great wisdom and elected Alfred Wise, President; Nick Radice, Vice-President; Elsie Volk, Secretary and Treasurer, and Carl Clor, Class Representative. Selling candy was added to our activities, and it was thus we started in our Jolly-Junior year. It was during our Junior year that our A.H.S. students began to notice our outstanding ability. Our Junior Play Second Fiddle” went over with a bang. We cleaned up a tidy sum and felt jolly indeed. A Halloween Dance seemed appropriate so we staged an informal Fall Hop. This was also successful. Our good luck continued all year and we backed our Junior Prom. By this time we found that we had quite a bit of money on our hands. This allowed us to finance the Junior-Senior banquet with nary a worry about funds. This exceptional year we had as officers: Harrison Stortz, President; Betty Barnes, Vice-President; Jack Egan, Secretary; Madeline Frisbee, Treasurer, and Paul Flick, Class Representative. And finally, after three long years of gradually bettering ourselves we became Sophisticated Seniors. We’ve had a wonderful year! I’m sure you’ll never forget our comedy Tish” or our highly successful Ball with the strains of Bob Armstrong’s music filling the gym. Perhaps you remember our informal Welcome Back” dance. It was an asset both socially and financially. Speaking of financial assets, we hope our 1941 Torch starts a precedent with its many snap-shots, stiff covers, etc., as an ultra modern masterpiece. Our rings too were flashed around before Christmas. Of course we had an excellent choice of rings—so good in fact that part of the class purchased one ring and the remainder one with a slightly different setting! Our final social function will be the J unior-Senior Banquet. How all Seniors look forward to this event! And how the Juniors enjoy seeing our intelligent faces adorning their humble table! Our four years have been well filled with fun and study. Our only hope is that this, our Senior year, will terminate as successfully as our first three.

Fred Pauly was elected President. Our foremost achievement of the year was our contribution to Stunt Night—a Circus”, with students portraying familiar persons such as, The Bearded Lady”, The Strong Man”, and others. It was awarded second prize. As sophomores, we progressed through the year, with Mrs. Sands as our advisor. Jerrol Newell received the majority of votes for President. That year we were granted the privilege of selling candy at all the basketball games throughout the season. This yielded ample profits, which helped to fill out our Treasury. In May, in conjunction with the Senior Class, we sponsored a benefit movie at the Astor Theater. This aided both classes. We were again fortunate in the Stunt Night Program. First prize was awarded us for the original melodrama. Naturally, our Junior Year has been the fullest. Leo Denault received the honor of being President and Mrs. Ranger advised us in our activities. In October, we held a successful informal dance with Carl Coloross’ Orchestra. For one week in March, each Junior sold candy in school. The most looked-for event was the Junior Prom on March 18. Very good music was provided by Bill Flanagan’s University Revelers” from Rochester and it was a great success, socially. On April 23 and 24 we sponsored a Movie Benefit show, which netted us about twenty-five dollars. On May 16, the Junior Play is to be produced by the Dramatic Club, under the able direction of Mr. MacMurray. Our last important affair for the year 1940-41 will be the Junior-Senior Banquet on June 5. 31 SOPHOMORE CLASS OFFICERS President Robert Hussey V ice-President Mary Ann Walsh Secretary Russell Watson Treasurer Sarah Perry Class Representatives Robert Flick, Roberta West Class Advisors Mrs. Sands, Miss Woods MEMBERS Arenz, Marjorie Foote, Evalena Killian, Louine Barber, Virgil Frisbee, Vera Kinsella, Margaret Barnes, Leo George, Elizabeth Kreuttcr, Grace Beaver, Mary George, Onalee Laird, Frederick Bender, Eva Gephart, William Luce, Margaret Bender, Marie Gilliatt, Shirley McCabe, John Bey, Shirley Glor, Kenneth McKernan, Patricia Campbell, Charles Hackett, Harriet Martin, Paul Cannon, Betty Hale, Alan Matteson, Norris Colton, Irving Harder, Betty Meyers, Anna Dedoszak, John Heineman, Beatrice Murphy, Genevieve Downing, James Held, George Pasnewski, Thomas Dudek, Frank Hussey, Robert Peron, Aldei Edwards, Robert Ingersoll, Niles Perry, Cecilia Embt, Jean |asnau, Betty Perry, Sarah Fenclau, Caesar fasnua, Harold Plewa, Harry Flick, Robert Keem, Faye Pulver, Robert 32 SOPHOMORES Richter, Donald Rudolph, Richard Rupp, Robert Satola, Stephen Schell, Jean Schlenker, Eleanor Schocpflin, Richard Spencer, Forest Spink, Richard Spring, Eleanor Tooley, Euletta Tooley, Myrtle Trauscht, Marian Tretter, Mary Trzecieski, Alberta Vitagliano, Frank Vogt, Ruth Walsh, Mary Ann Watson, Russell Weatherbee, Charles Werner, Ethel Werner, Evelyn Werner, Jeanne West, Roberta West, Roger Wheatley, Marilyn Wilson, Walter Winiecki, Mary Alice Wise, William Wolf, Richard Wood, Pearl Wrazen, Jeanette Zahler, Francis Zehler, Frances Zielonka, Marie SOPHOMORE CLASS HISTORY At the beginning of 1939 we were Freshmen, a class of little importance to anyone except ourselves. Our activities were very limited our first year. However, we had several class meetings and chose for our adviser Mr. Van de Mark with the following people as officers: President Louine Kilian Vice-President Robert Flick Secretary Mary Ann Walsh Treasurer Vera Frisbee In September 1940 we started our Sophomore year feeling we had a definite place in the High School activities. Our first project was the selling of candy at soccer and basketball games. We then sponsored a class dance which was very successful. With the assistance of Mrs. Sands our class won first prize at Stunt Night. Our final activity was a movie benefit. As we come to the close of the first half of our High School career, we feel we have learned a great deal, and look with anticipation toward our final goal—graduation. 33 FRESHMEN CLASS OFFICERS President ...........

Shortly after school began we held a Freshman Party in which different games were played, followed by sweet-cider and dough-nuts. Everyone who attended reported that he had a good time. Before Christmas we put on a One Act Christmas play under the direction of Mr. Van de Mark, our Class Advisor. The pupils who took part did their best and it took very well with the student body. During Bill of Rights Week, the Social Studies class held a Poster Contest and every Freshman had to make a poster on one of the First Ten Amendments to the National Constitution. First prize was awarded to Marylou West. We have also sold candy in the front corridor of the school which has helped to enlarge our treasury funds. 35 ALUMNI NOTES . . . Where Are They Now? One evening, while reminiscing with a friend, we happened to start conversing about our former classmates, and, through this, we learned much about the class of 1940. We learned that many have secured positions and others have taken steps to further knowledge. Bob Fox is now an attendant at Gowanda Homeopathic Hospital. Bill Harder is studying at the Batavia Mechanics Institute. Helen Lippold and Margaret Orr are attending Geneseo Normal. Mary Morgan is a telephone operator at Auburn. Bob Soanes, and Charlie Craigmile are taking courses at Bell Aircraft. Elaine Law is attending the School of Commerce in Rochester. Mary Schiller and Bud George are attending Bryant and Stratton Business School. Rita Fuest is completing a Beautician Course in Buffalo. Clint Gay is a surveyor at Ithaca. Charles George is working on a farm. Betty Hussey is training at General Hospital at Buffalo. Doris Bishop and Dorothy Clark are attending the R.B.I. at Batavia. Geraldine Perry is now Mrs. Richard Kilian. Cliff Coe is at Alfred University. Deciding to break the monotony of conversation we decided to tour Attica. Who should we find working at Brei’s but Helen Myers. Much to our astonishment we were attended by Gertrude Golombek at Ben Franklin’s Store. Upon visiting Clark’s we saw Eleanor Gay Jerking sodas”. At the Citizen’s Bank we found none other than Chet Watson as the big executive”. While visiting the Westinghouse we saw A! Wise filing blueprints in the office. Deciding to buy a new chair at White’s Furniture Store, we were waited upon by Harland Fargo. Passing by Danahy-Faxon’s who should we see but Russell Schreiner carefully wrapping up groceries. On our way to the show we passed Western Auto and saw Bill Simons Slaving”. As we entered the show Margie Krull sold us our tickets. After an enjoyable evening, we escorted our friend to the train and were cheerfully greeted by Eddie Jungers in the teletype room. Upon searching through our files we discovered that many of our alumni proved to be great patriots by serving their country in the army or navy. The U.S.A. Navy has afloat” the following Attica H.S. boys: Vernon Beitz, Harold Bender, William Biggins, George Ernst, Carl Clor, Robert Gracey, Lydell Gay, Richard Laird, Gould Pauly, David Stripp, Edgar Wheatley, William Wilkinson, Donald Spencer. The U.S.A. Army has a-marching”: Warren Blum, James Clark, Merton Coe, Everett Conway, Kenneth Cook, John Eck, Robert Fuest, Edward Huff smith, Alexander Hussey, Norman Jungers, Gene Kellv, John McCormick, Howell Parry, Maynard Petrie, Ray Satola, and Eddie Seagert Jr. Thus, friends, we imagine that this has given you some surprises as well as ourselves about the activities of our former A.H.S. companions. 36 THE TORCH STAFF Editor-m-Chief Business Manager Art Editor Faculty Advisors .......................

DRAMATIC CLUB President Virginia Jensen Vice-President Jack Egan Secretary and Treasurer Marie Schcepsma Club Representative Ann Wise The Dramatic Club, under the guidance of Mr. MacMurray has gone a long way in attempting to bring about more advanced plays and improved actors and actresses for Attica High School. The Club has had regular meetings every other week and has taught many students the art of make-up and stage decorating. In the attempt to produce better plays, Mr. MacMurray has made it possible for students of any year in High School to participate. All the plays which were put on this year in Assembly or for Class or Town organizations have been successes. CLUB OFFICERS AND ADVISORS Peron, McCormick, Vitagliano, Kibler, E.

Most of our activities of the year have been social parties due to the great difficulty of procuring material from France. On account of the war we have been unable to get French movies and magazines, but we did receive several letters from French boys and girls telling incidents of the war before France capitulated. We held a picnic in the fall and are making plans for our spring picnic. We hold an annual Christmas Party at which time the program is presented in French and French songs are sung.

Paul Flick Vice-President Leo Denault Secretary ........................................ Betty Barnes Treasurer ............................................ Ted Pauly Advisor D. B. Harrington, Principal The Student Council of this year developed into a smooth operating organization early in September. Three members from each Class and one member from each club make up the personnel of the Council whose general aim is to improve school facilities and enrich the school program whenever possible. The Council works through a series of committees, usually appointed by the President, and regular meetings are held once a month. The student yearly activity calendar, the assembly programs, class and club meetings are all scheduled by the Council. The Student Council has charge of certain special assemblies during the year. A very important financial item is the school candy-selling concession which is controlled by the Council. The student fire-chief and the Student Safety Patrol is under the guidance of a committee from the Council. New school equipment such as drinking fountains, pencil-sharpeners and locker equipment have been purchased through the recommendations of the Council. Our class room floors and halls are much cleaner and papers are picked up because of Council activities. The Principal is our advisor, and we on the Council have a much keener appreciation of Faculty problems because of this experience. Visitations have been made to Buffalo and LeRoy in search of new ideas to improve our own organization. It is our belief that we have a better school spirit and a better school because of the activities of our Council, and we, who have gone through this program this year, feel that it has been a privilege to ict in the capacity of Student Council members.

The players, according to Miss Pollock, are all proficient enough to play in regular orchestras.

The first tenor, Arthur Golombek, was eligible for National Competition again this year. Songs by the Glee Club have been enjoyed at Assembly, Music Night, and Baccalaureate, and we all agree it’s the best boys’ group we’ve had in years. 46 GIRLS' GLEE CLUB BOYS' GLEE CLUB A. H. S. NEWS REEL 48 WILLIAM E. WRATTEN Attica High School, like every other educational institution on earth which is proud of its athletic teams, its accomplishments in Physical Education, and its sportsmanship, is justly proud of its Trophy Case which adorns the Main Entrance of the High School Building. Every athlete realizes that trophies are merely symbols of victories won. Yet to win the game, to come in first in the race, symbolize human endeavor at its best. We believe that Attica High School teams have always tried honestly and won fairly. 50 Coach Captain Manager SOCCER F. Tyler Kniffin Leo Werner George Spears Under the excellent tutelage of Mr. Kniffin, a former star backfield man at Cornell, Attica’s soccer stalwarts concluded a very successful season. After starting like the proverbial cyclone, the attack of the Atticans dwindled somewhat. The season’s record of 5 wins, 3 losses and 2 deadlocks, all but one in the strong Erie County League, is a credit to the team, however. In the first league encounter against Ebenezer, Attica booted its way to an easy 6-0 victory. The only non-league encounter was against Arcade in which the Atticans swamped their opponents 10-0, scoring at will. Orchard Park gave the locals their first taste of defeat 3-0. Victories over North Collins and Amherst followed. In the closing game of the year, Attica attempted to halt Holland's long string of undefeated games but was foiled in a close 2-1 contest.

Wratten Captain Clinton Gay Manager Dale Smith The prevalence of closely contested games featured the ’40-’41 Basketball season. The team was unfortunate on the whole in their games, losing three heartbreakers” by one point, one game by two points, and the other two losses by 10 and 15 points. Despite this Attica and Perry remained deadlocked at the end of the regular season. In a dull playoff game, Perry barely nosed out the Wrattenites. Attica opened auspiciously with a 36-25 conquest of Oakfield. The only defeat resembling a runway was the set-back at the hands of Dansville’s excellent squad, which was undefeated in 14 games. However, Attica was better than the score indicated. Two of the one-point reverses were in League play, one on a questionable decision. With average luck, this excellent team could very well have been exceptional. Even in defeat, Attica’s forces appeared the best in the county. Wise, Gay and Kirkpatrick finished one, two three, respectively in the scoring race in this league. Coach Wratten again deserves unlimited credit for turning out a winning team. Seven victories were racked up against six defeats, and the opponents were outscored in total points for the year.

Wratten Captain Alfred Wise Manager Edward Friedl The Baseball team of the spring of 1940 did not have a very good year. They won two and lost six games. The first game was the most exciting, marked by clever pitching and excellent fielding by both the Attica and Warsaw teams. The score was 1-0 with Attica on the short end. In the next game, Attica beat their old rivals with Clint Gay doing a sterling job on the mound by the score of 3-2. Later on in the season Arcade was beaten again with the Attica boys doing fine work with their bats. All members of the team played well but the opponents seemed to play just a little bit better in the 1940 season of the great American Game.

They took part in five track-meets, winning two, coming in second in two and losing one. The team was well-balanced with scoring power in the dashes, the distance-events, the shot-put, the discus, the high-jump and the pole-vault and the broad-jump. In the first meet, Attica won over Warsaw, scoring well in all events with Radice showing great power in the dashes. The most exciting Meet was a three-conered affair held in LeRoy where Attica was nosed out by one point by Perry, with LeRoy coming in third. The next meet was also a thriller with Attica nosing out a speedy Batavia team by two points. In the County Meet which is very important to all contestants because many records are usually set, Attica took second place with six teams competing.

The following students were elected as officers: President, Jane Heftier, Vice-President, Jean Bishop; Secretary and Treasurer, Doris Bertsch; Point Recorders: Margaret Baetzold, Onalee George, Marguerite Treat and Shirley Gilliatt. This year we decided to get all the girls interested in sports and bring our membership of the Association to the highest total possible. The purpose of the Association is to stimulate the girls of the Attica High School to participate in Athletics and social activities and to learn the qualities of real sportmanship and cooperation. Character, Poise, Health, Personality and unlimited other values are the results of varied physical activities. The Girl’s point system, whereby the awards are given, is as follows: Any girl who comes out and plays in a team on Monday and Wednesday afternoons after school, or Tuesday and Thursday during noon hour, will receive ten points if it is a major sport and five points if it is a minor sport. Those sports which are considered major are: Soccer, field ball, hockey, basketball, volley ball, baseball, bowling, track, and tennis. Those considered as minor sports are: Ping Pong, badminton, archery, social dancing, shuffle board, and hiking. If a girl is on a winning team that has played off a tournament, each girl on the team receives ICO points, plus the additional points she has earned coming out every noon, or night. Second place team winners each receive 50 points and third place winners receive 25 points. Interclass activities are given the same number of points, if played off. Any girl who receives a scholastic standing of 95 for a semester receives 50 points, or an 85 average, 25 points. The officers of the association receive the following points for fulfilling their positions: President-100 points, Vice-President-75 points. Secretary and Treasurer-50 points, and point recorders-50 points. All captains chosen by their team receive 15 points, and time keepers and score keepers receive 10 points. To earn a set of numerals a person must receive 500 points, for a small letter, 1,000 points, for a larger letter, 1500 points, and for the sport’s medal, which has been added this year, 2,000 points. These awards are given to the students at the Athletic Banquet held in June. 55 Coach Captain Manager TENNIS Lowell Fox Robert Blake Fred Stone The Attica High Tennis Team had a fairly successful season. They won three matches and lost five. Two of the team matches lost were to teams in Erie County. Throughtout the year, the Attica racket-wielders outscored their opponents. The total number of points for the year was 33 for Attica and 29 for their opponents. Robert Schreiber earned the distinction of not losing a singles encounter. GOLF Coach William E. Wratten Captain James Beitz The Attica High Golf team bravely started out on the sport as pioneers for Attica against teams which have been playing for several years. Matches were played with Spring-ville, East Aurora, Depew and Amherst. Captain Beitz won two, tied one, and lost one of his four matches. The golf-league matches will be continued this spring. BOWLING Coach Lowell Fox Under the direction and supervision of Mr. Fox, bowling was added to the ever-increasing list of intramural sports at Attica High. In the first tournament of the year Team V with G. Schreiber, No. 1 man and Hinkley, W. Denault and E. Schreiber walked off with the honors. In the second tournament Team II with Kirkpatrick, No. 1 man and Kinsella, Matteson, T. Pauly and R. George came out ahead. 56 TENNIS Mr. Fox, Watson, Denault, Bottone, Carnevale, Peron, Schrieber Ostertag. Beitz.

The 6 from the Sophomore and Freshmen classes always lead the cheers for the preliminary game. The other 6 lead the cheering for the main event. The 4 Seniors who did an excellent bit of work during the basketball season were Phyl Stroh, Hugh Shadow” Spears, Betty Barnes, and Paul Flick. Phyl and Hugh each had served for 4 years and were the head cheerleaders. The two juniors of the squad consisted of Eleanor Conway and Roger Timm. The sophomores were made up of Roberta West, Evelina Foote, and Tom Pasnewski. The last three, freshmen, were Eleanor Davison, Mary Alice Hussey and Jack Conway. Our cheers were said to be better than last year when we were rated first in the County League. 1940 RAH! RAH! RAH! 1941 CHEERLEADERS 58 H.
