School we love and proudly stand for Let your colors fly, Hail! to thee our Alma Mater Hail! all Attica High! Published by THE STUDENTS of ATTICA HIGH SCHOOL ATTICA, N. Y. CTheme This is the first publication of the Torch” to be published by the student body instead of the Senior Class. It is the second issue since our country became involved in this second World War. Our fellowmen are doing their part for victory in the front lines, in the factories, and on the farms. Soon we students, especially the Seniors, will take our places alongside our countrymen. Meanwhile, we are supporting the boys up front by buying War Bonds and Stamps, obeying rationing rules, helping in the scrap drives and in the Victory Corps, and support-ng the Red Cross, U.S.O., and Army and Navy Relief Societies. Some of us who expect to enter the armed forces and war factories are studying pre-induction courses in mathematics, physics, and shop. We all should try to keep our physical fitness as high as possible. When peace again comes to this war-torn world, we must be ready to assume our responsibilities in the world. We must make sure that this is really a lasting peace.” We must be prepared to take our places as scientists, housewives, farmers, politicians, and business men. We must make the world a pleasant and interesting place to live. We are the future leaders and future citizens of this country. We can and must strive to prepare ourselves to serve our country and our fellowmen during this conflict and the peace that follows. V Page 4 • • MR. ROBERT V. COGGER Dedication To Mr. Robert V.

It was a job well done. This year there have been eight main divisions of the High School Victory Corps. These are: Sale of Stamps and Bonds, Scrap Drive, Block System of Mobilization, Aviation Class, Victory Gardens, Pre-Induction Class, Victory Board Committee, Commando Training. During the school year over J 8,000 worth of stamps and bonds have been sold by an energetic committee headed by Mr. Fox. In the scrap drive twenty tons D g HARRINGTON, Principal of scrap were collected by a committee consisting of all the village students. A High School block plan was set up. There is at least one pupil in every village block available to assist the Village Director of Civilian Mobilization and the Ladies Auxiliary War Council. Twenty boys have taken a year course in the Mechanics of Aviation. Mr. Frank is the instructor of this course. Under Mr. Loughlin’s splendid leadership students have planted victory gardens. Important instruction in How to Raise a Garden” was given by Mr. Loughlin and Mr. Carl during the winter months. Mr. Frank, Mr. Fox, Mr. Carl and Miss French sponsored a class in Pre-Induction training for young men planning to enter the Armed Services. Mrs. Ranger, Miss McCoord and a group of girls maintained the Victory Display Board, keeping upon it pictures of every Attica High School former student now in the Armed Forces. It was magnificently done, ladies. Mr. Patte and Miss Skinner really went to town” with their commando course. Our entire student body profited by this special physical program. Our school has one of the few Class A buildings for use as an Air Raid shelter. Thomas Pasnewski was Chief Air Raid Warden. His organization functioned smoothly during practice Air Raid alarms. Attica High not only represents a symbol of community patriotism but practices a program designed to get definite results. Page 9 —D. B. Harringtoi FACULTY Mr. D. B.

It is rough, it is precipitous; But these obsticles you must meet. You must strive on toward the top And reach the peak. Be it in service or in field, It’s success that you must seek. You are young and ambitious, So though your burden can’t be shared; You’ll move up with fists clenched tight Because you are well prepared. Mark a goal and set your heart On the fact that you must gain it. You’ll reach that goal if you have grit, So Onward Seniors, claim it!” Page 18 SENIOR CLASS HISTORY In 1939 a silly, typical Freshman Class entered this glorious institution of higher learning. Nearly twice the size of our present class, we spent most of our time studying, much in contrast to our present policy. As officers we elected Louine Kilian as our President; Robert Flick as our Vice-President; Mary Ann Walsh as our Secretary, and Vera Frisbee as Treasurer. Our most important event this year was a pic-eating contest at Stunt Night. As Sophomores we elected Robert Hussey as President; Mary Ann Walsh as Vice-President; Russell Watson as Secretary, and Sarah Perry as Treasurer. Roberta West and Robert Flick were our Representatives. The highlight of this year was our presentation at Stunt Night of the Gay Ninetie’s Revue,” an event which will long be remembered by those who participated. In September, 1941, we showed great wisdom in electing Mary Ann Walsh for President; Donald Richter as Vice-President; Eleanor Spring as Secretary, and Vera Frisbee as Treasurer. Sarah Perry and Frank Vitagliano served as Representatives. We held a very successful Card Party and followed it with a movie benefit. Our Junior Play, Don’t Be Bashful,” was a huge success and added much money to the Treasury. Our patriotic Junior Prom went over splendidly and the Junior-Senior banquet was enjoyed by all. This year we purchased our class rings and are very satisfied with our wise choice. Last fall we entered school full of ambitions. We elected Donald Richter as President; Frank Vitagliano as Vice-President; Rala Schaub as Treasurer; Shirley Gilliatt as Secretary, and Bob Edwards and Mary Ann Walsh as Representatives. Our Fall Dance was successful and our delightful Senior Play, Miss Jimmy,” was the sensation of the school. The Senior Ball with Bill Byrd’s orchestra provided much-needed entertainment. Although war conditions have hindered our activities, we look back over the year with a feeling of pleasure and wish the next Senior Class as much success as we have enjoyed. We wish to express our thanks to those teachers who have helped and guided us during our four years. We also wish good luck to all those boys and girls who will serve Uncle Sam in the armed forces, hoping that they will soon be able to visit their Alma Mater after peace once again will return to this troubled world.

Mr. Van de Mark was our class advisor. We were the first class to have a Freshman class. Not only that but we won first prize for stunt night. Bill Denault was elected president. In our Sophomore year we were even more active with Vic Jensen as president and Mrs. Sands as our class advsior. We were the first class to start the basketball games between girls and boys for entertainment. Since we were entitled to two dances, we had two successful ones. We also sold candy for two weeks. We regard our Junior year as our most successful one. We have a very capable president in the person of Jimmy Hyland. Our class advisor, Mrs. Ranger, has been very helpful to us in our activities. One of the most important activities was our Junior Play directed by R. V. Cogger. It was an especially good play since half of the cast were Juniors and most of the Stage Crew consists of Junior boys. We also had two or three dances, one of which was very successful socially. For our assembly, we had a humorous skit about Pokey Hontes. Our class has shown a patriotic spirit in the Stamp and Bond drives. At the present we are the leading homeroom. Of course our most important event was our Junior Prom. Music for this dance was provided by Warren Fargo's orchestra of Batavia. Many came and had a wonderful time. Our last event of our Junior year before we become Seniors is our Junior-Senior Banquet. We all hope it will be a great success.

Our Freshman year was not too successful, but proved, beyond a doubt, that we possessed fine qualities of organization and economy. Our Freshman Halloween Party was well attended by many fun loving Freshmen. We sold candy and here we netted $17.00. We have had two dances which have been a success both socially and financially. We certainly displayed our patriotic spirit by coming out in first place in the sale of Defense Stamps and Bonds. Thus, the Sophomores have completed a very successful year and are anticipating higher achievements next year.

Last September we elected our class officers which are as follows: President, Phyllis Reed; Vice-President, Janet Strobel; Treasurer, Ann Tretter; Secretary, Virginia Sturrock; Class Representatives, Leo Redding and Marie Smith. Throughout the year we have had two jam sessions which were supported by the dues. In November we had our first session at which all the members met and became acquainted. The Knights of Rythm furnished the music. In the month of the White Christmas many little shots and hot shots of the Freshman Class participated in an assembly program. Beady Petrie, the beautiful baby, and Dick Holbrook, the Wincheel Frosh of the Class of ’46, helped make it a success. On March 10th the Jivin’ Freshmen again held another jam session in the gym. They bounced all the brothers with a solid four to the down beat of the Knights of Rythm. Six lessons from Madame La Zonga (Miss Richardson) taught them how to do the Conga. Gene Krupa (Miss Skinner) also beat out with the drummers Serena De. Arthur Murray (Joe Ann) taught us jazzing in a hurry. The Freshmen now have on their brilliant minds a picnic planned for June.

We hope that the added features which we have incorporated in this book, will meet with the approval of the student body. Page 34 THE EAGLE STAFF OFFICERS Editor-in-Chief Thomas Pasnewski Associate Editors: Mary Ann Walsh, James Hyland, Ruth Vogt Business Manager Ralph Bottone Advertising Manager Jack Conway Circulation Manager Alfred Fix Faculty Advisors Miss Manley, Miss Feeley 1943 was a year to be remembered in the annals of our high school paper, The Eagle.” The subscription campaign proved to be more successful than in the previous year. The advertising was increased as the editions rolled off the presses of the Attica News. Miss Feeley and Miss Manley aided the members greatly in their journalistic work.

Another enterprise that is worth a great deal of praise was the Book Campaign. The aim of this campaign was to collect reading books and magazines for the soldiers of 712 M. P. Bn. The majority of material was magazines and those participating most enthusiastically were the grades. DRAMATICS CLUB President Mary Ann Walsh Secretary and Treasurer Mary Alice Snyder Student Council Representative Ruth Anderson Among the most successful meeting of the year, the Dramatics Club had a war play produced exclusively by its own members, a humorous reading contest, and a series of popular song charades. Many members took part in the Junior and Senior plays. The highlight of the year was the annual party in April when the scavenger hunt became the outstanding feature of a fun-filled evening. We hope that the members of the club next year have as much fun as we had this year.

Rudolph FUTURE FARMERS OF AMERICA President Vice-President Secretary Treasurer Representative OFFICERS Frank Vitagliano Arthur Gerhardt Neal Kilian Russell Kilian Merril Tooley This club under the leadership of Mr. Loughlin has in the past year been very successful, not only financially but also in its wide scope of activities which range from learning to be soldiers of production on the home front to athletics. SCIENCE CLUB The Science Club was organized at the beginning of the present school year under the leadership of Mr. Carl. Its purpose is to stimulate students’ interest in science activities by performing experiments in the laboratory and by going on field trips. The results of these activities are announced at the meetings held monthly so that the other members will become more interested in these activities. Recently the Science Club was enrolled in the Science Clubs of America. This required a slight fee, however, literature on scientific activities and suggestions for experiments are sent free of charge. Page 37 CHEF'S CLUB President Robert Flick Vice-President Bernard Reding Secretary and Treasurer Harold Jasnau Representative Forrest Spencer The Chef’s Club, under the watchful eye of Mr. D. B. Harrington and honorary members Mr. Fox, Mr. Loughlin and Mr. Patte, has a membership of 21 students. It has undertaken three suppers during the entire year. The main course of the first meeting was chicken, while the second consisted of stew. After three months of recuperating, we had a weiner roast which was held at the Guard’s Pool at which each boy invited a girl. THE DANCING CLUB At the first meeting of the Dancing Club, the members selected the following officers: President Sarah Perry Secretary and Treasurer Mary Beaver Representative Beatrice Petrie Sometime during May, we are having a party. Each member is going to ask a friend and games as well as dancing will be the main events of the evening. Money has been collected to buy records for the club. There are approximately 150 members in the club and each member, under the direction of Miss Richardson and Miss Feeley is doing well. FRENCH CLUB The French Club was organized this year with the following officers: President Sue Harrington Vice-President Audrey Hooven Secretary Jeanne Werner Treasurer Shirley Gilliatt Representative Patricia McKernan We had a Christmas party in December but we have not had a dance due to the war. Pins were purchased by the new members and we are all very proud of them. We have made provincial dolls and we are now doing a project which will be due in June. Thes eprojects are to be on some phase of French life or culture. HOMEMAKING CLUB President Vice-President Secretary Treasurer Representative Advisor Myrtle Tooley Ruth Vogt Lillian Gerhardt Onalee George Teresa Victor Miss Eichhorn The Homemaking Club reached much greater heights this year than in its preceding year. In September the club was organized by an enthusiastic group of ambitious girls looking eagerly forward to a year of achievements. They elected the above officers. During the year the girls held many entertaining meetings at wheih various refreshments were served. They held an assembly at which Mr. Wilbur Pease showed slides and gave an enlightening talk on Victory Gardening. The girls of this club hope that the club will continue next year bringing new members, new achievements and more entertainment. Page 38 STUDENT COUNCIL President Vice-President Secretary Treasurer Advisor OFFICERS Robert Edwards Mary Ann Walsh Jean Stangrover Patricia McKernan D. B. Harrington The Student Council, which is the governing body of the high school was organized under the direction of our principal, Mr. Harrington. This organization consists of three members from each class and one from each club. Activities of the Council are carried out by committees which are usually appointed by the president. The yearly activities, such as dances, assembly programs, and club meetings, were scheduled on the school calendar. The Student Council had charge of one assembly this year and another one is scheduled. Both fire chief and air raid warden are appointed by the president and are under the guidance of the Student Council. A new bulletin board was constructed through the suggestion of Mr. Harrington and approved by the Student Council. Activities, such as installing new pencil sharpeners, drinking fountains, and locker equipment are carried out under the direction of the Council. Members of the Student Council have not been able to attend meetings at other schools due to condtiions brought about by the war. Although we have not been able to carry on our activities as extensively as in previous years, we the members of the Student Council, have found it an honor and privilege to be associated with the management of our Alma Mater.

We feel as though we are in a more important position than ever before. Our class officers were elected at our first club meeting. Lorraine Suess was elected President; Laurane Hedger, Vice-President; James Cook, Treasurer; Arnold Sprague, Secretary, and Paul Myers and Verla Welker, Representatives. We started the year feeling rather sick at heart because we were told that we would receive much discipline and homework. At the beginning of school Mr. Howard F. Simons was our home-room teacher. Around the middle of February Mrs. Helen Clark came in to take his position. In the middle of March, Miss E. Myrta Torrey from Perry, N. Y., came to teach us for two weeks. At the end of this period, Mrs. Gladys Austin, our present teacher, came in to take over her duties. Good luck and much success, students of Jr. High. 8th GRADE The eighth grade this year consists of forty students. We feel this is the most important year in cur career thus far. The following subjects are taught; English, mathematics, history, spelling, reading, music and home-making. The gymnasium work is also an important activity. Our class officers are as follows: President, Clive Davis; Vice-President, Leola Snyder; Treasurer, Evelyn Henderson, and Secretary, Jean Zink. Of course we feel very proud of our class representatives this year who are Jack Spencer and Charmaine Williams. We have learned in eighth grade that accuracy is essential to our success. We have also learned that when we know how to do a thing to do it right and also we get out of our work exactly what we put into it. A Choral Speaking Club has held meetings at regular intervals during the school year. Perhaps the most important event of the year was the presenting of a program in the high school assembly. Each year the eighth grade holds an annual picnic in June. We consider this one of our most enjoyable functions. Mrs. Wratten is our class advisor and the eighth grade is very proud of her. Good luck and success to the eighth grade of 1943.

Page 44 Jlth letics DIRECTOR of PHYSICAL EDUCATION COACH PATTE Coach Patte’s first season at Attica has been very successful considering the high class opposition. He came to Attica with an outstanding record. He is a graduate of Temple University. Upon his graduation from college, he had to make up his mind whether to play professional baseball or take up teaching. After having a very successful season at Spring-field in the Eastern League, he decided to take up teaching. He taught four years in Alexander before coming to Attica. Page 46 BASKETBALL 1942-43 Coach Captains Managers George Patte Robert Flick, Robert Schreiber Ralph Bottone, John Wilson The Attica High School Basketball Team played through the past season and finished with approximately .500 average. Due to war conditions which lead to transportation difficulties, the Wyoming County Class A League did not operate as a complete league; Warsaw and Attica being the only two teams competing. The Attica Blue Devils played through a sixteen game schedule plus one intersectional contest. The teams who engaged in this past campaign were of a very high caliber. Our boys meeting such quintets as Hornell, Batavia, and Le Roy, all section five finalists. Also Amhurst and Lancaster, two top notch teams oft his area. Attica lost Robert Schreiber, a very valuable player, to the forces of Uncle Sam early in the campaign. Bob was co-captain along with Robert Flick of this years team. Forrest Spencer, Russell Watson, Robert Flick, Robert Pulver, Frank Vitagliano will graduate this year leaving Jack Ostertag, Alfred Fix, William Denault, and Robert Hutchings to build the team of next year. All of these boys have seen plenty of action this season and are counted upon strongly for next season. Robert George, a post graduate, another member of the squad, left school during the early part of the season to work in his father’s business. The Junior Varsity showed promise toward the end of the season and some of the boys should prove very valuable in assembling next years squad. Vitagliano, Fix, Denault, Ostertag, Hutchings, Watson, Spencer, Flick, Pulver, Coach Patte Bottone, Wilson Page 47 BASEBALL Coach Captain Managers Wliliam Wratten Forrest Spencer Tom Pasnewski, Wayne Hawkins Attica representatives on the baseball field turned in a successful year by winning four and losing only two. After two shaky upsets, the team finally settled down winning four games in a row. The Attica team lost to Arcade and Warraw by one run. Arcade finishing the season with five wins and one loss. Arcade having beaten Attica once this year came to Attica expecting to find another win but they were surprised. Due to timely hitting of the Atticans team, they managed to put three runs across the plate in the fourth inning. This game was called because of rain in the last half of the fourth inning—giving Attica another win.

They led cheers at all of the home games and went to all of the out-of-town games that they possibly could. With the help of the Senior cheerleaders, a Junior cheerleaders’ organization began. Two cheerleaders were chosen from the Freshmen and Sophomore class. Maxine Howard and James Pasnewski were the Freshmen chosen and Margaret Schreiber and Ardyth Suess were the Sophomores chosen. Although they were new to cheerleading, the above were quick to catch on. The cheerleaders appreciate the fact that the school was generous enough to buy the cheerleading outfits. They were blue and orange. The skirts were blue and the sweaters were orange. The cooperation given to them by the students of the Attica High School, and the splendid spirit shown by them was greatly appreciated by the cheerleaders. The entire group did an excellent job and they were rated among the best.
