They have given up all they had . . their homes, families, and friends, to fight to preserve a free, independent, and progressive nation, occupied by freedom loving people. They never knew they would once be part of an army of peaceful people, trying to conquer all those who try to destroy our democracy, but when the time came, 19 4 3 Page 4 19 4 4 they at once answered the call to arms to help win this war and bring peace back to the world. They're out there doing their bit, just as we here at home try to do our bit, but each day, we should try to do more than ever. We’ve got to put the whole nation behind them and support them as no nation ever has before. We’ve got to thank them the only way possible. That is by “pitching in’’ strong and steady as a wholly united nation, for they are doing more than their share for us. ATTICA HIGH SCHOOL DEFENSE SAVINGS CHART Page 5 Theme The student body proudly presents this, the fourth war - time issue of the Torch.” Even though many of our alumni, besides others who were called before the completion of their high school education, are now in the service of their country, we who remain are striving to maintain our high standards and customs — among them, this yearly publication of the “Torch.” Our country is now witnessing the most terrible conflict in our history, and our present attitude will, to a large extent, predict the outcome of the peace. We point with pride to the fine job Attica High School has done in War Bond and Stamp Sales and Red Cross Drives, our thorough course in physical education and the stress placed on physical fitness, the splendid spirit our students have shown in Waste Paper and Scrap Drives, the patriotic services rendered by our Boy Scouts and Girl Scouts, and many other similar examples of our patriotism. The teachers and students of our school should be highly commended for the cooperation they have shown in keeping up with their schedules, despite a great deal of time lost because of impassable roads during stormy months. Is there any reason why our pride should be concealed, in view of all these remarkable achievements? Certainly, we may look with assurance toward a brilliant and successful future, for with such a courageous spirit, how can we fail? Page 6 Administration Page 7 BOARD of EDUCATION 1944-1945 Roy K.

Kneiler, School Physician Mrs. Edna Runvik, School Nurse and Truant Officer Page 8 EDUCATION for ADJUSTMENT To be able to adjust oneself to new situations as they arise every day in our busy life is certainly one worthy aim of education. Attica High has been practicing to some extent this phase of development. In the early fall cur school was closed for four weeks as a precaution against polio. In mid-winter we lost fourteen more days with bad roads caused by adverse weather conditions. Next the acute coal shortage curtailed the use of the school building for extra-curricular activities. Some planning and courage by the administration and faculty was required to maintain and develope the well-rounded program planned for. Teaching programs were revised; mid-year exams re-scheduled, techniques in teaching procedures were changed, accelerated and streamlined. Out of all this came a new relationship between teacher and pupil based upon the importance of the common problem. This new spirit of close cooperation now vibrates through halls and class rooms of our friendly school. It is in evidence in assemblies, class meetings and faculty gatherings. The so-called pep and general morale of our school has never been higher. D. B. HARRINGTON 3 ft, M The emergency which gave birth to this new spirit will soon be forgotten. May the worthwhile results continue to grow into tradition. Not an important school activity has been sacrificed. The Student Council is responsible for the purchasing of a much needed new sound projector. Miss Kennedy and Miss Eichhorn headed a hard working student committee, who sold $6,080 in stamps and bonds to students. This brings the grand total of Attica High School student sales to $41,280 since Pearl Harbor. Mr. Hall and his Future Farmers sponsored an unusual and interesting Poultry Show in the gymnasium. Our library obtained a larger and more attractive home on the third floor (room 303). Miss Neild, our talented librarian has spent long hours completing the transfer. Our grade school is growing. The first of a series of divisions started this year in Grade three which now has two sections. The total school registration is 650 with 23 8 non-residents coming from 3 8 outlying school districts. The area serviced by our High School covers approximately one - quarter of Wyoming County and a small section of Genesee County. We are greatly indebted to the various school districts in this area and to the loyalty of the many trustees who help to make possible the educational opportuntiies that we are able to offer. Attica is a friendly, Christian community; a good place to raise children and possessing a modern school system to train them in. The third year of this terrible war finds us looking hopefully forward to a successful end with confidence in our selves and faith in our foundations. —D. B. Harrington Page 9 Faculty MRS.

We showed promise of both brilliance and ambition, and our first two years here served, for the most part, as incubation period for these two fine qualities. As officers we elected Richard Runvik, President; Richard Walsh, Vice-President; Patricia Meyers, Secretary; Nelson Parsons, Treasurer, and Margaret Schreiber and Howard Wilkinson, Girl and Boy Representatives. Under the guidance of Mr. Knapp, Miss McCoord, and Mr. Lohrman, our treasury prospered from the profits gained by selling candy, and the entire class enjoyed themselves at a Hallowe'en Party. Returning in the fall of 1942, we elected the following as officers: Nelson Parsons, President; Suzanne Harrington, Vice-President; Ardyth Suess, Secretary; George Seligman, Treasurer, and Mary Alyce Hussey and Howard Wilkinson, Representatives. Capably guided by Mrs. Sands, Mr. Cogger, and Miss Feeley, we made successes of two dances, and came out in first place in the sale of War Bonds and Stamps. “Jolly” was indeed an inadequate term to describe our attitude when we became Juniors, as we are sure Mrs. Sands will agree. However, we soon restored her faith in us by giving her such a splendid attendance record that we were given a party by the faculty. “No other class can make that statement!” Our treasury gained a large bulge when we made successes of several dances, a movie benefit, the Junior Prom, and our play, The Phantom Bells.” “The Phantom Bells” attrbiuted its unusual success to the thorough and competent direction of Mr. Cogger, the splendid cooperation of the cast, and the fact that it was the first mystery to be presented in our school for a number of years. Even after toasting the Seniors farewell at the Junior-Senior Banquet, at which the Rev. James J. Corbett, C.M., of the University of Niagara was the speaker, a sizable sum still still remained in our treasury. This exceptional year, we had as officers: Howard Wilkinson, President; Suzanne Harrington, Vice-President; Ardyth Suess, Secretary; Roy Strang, Treasurer, and Virginia Laird and Robert Beachman, Representatives. At last, after three long years of striving toward that goal, we attained the elevated position of Seniors. As proof that the wisdom evidenced upon our entrance in 1941, the class of '45 selected Roy Strang as President for this all-important year. We also chose Virginia Laird as Vice-President, Madeline Kittsley as Secretary, John VanSon as Treasurer, and Margaret Schreiber and Richard Runvik as Representatives. One of the memories we shall cherish most from this last year at Attica High, will be that of Mrs. Ranger's ever-ready smile and helpfulness. When it was decided that our class would go to Detroit at the end of the term, we redoubled our efforts to provide sufficient funds for that event. The profits from a baked food sale, a Variety Show, and a movie benefit, added to those already received from a dance, and our play, “The Uncertain Age, under the able direction of Miss McCarthy, are expected to fully cover the expenses of this eagerly-awaited trip. Looking back, it seems only a short time ago that we strolled the halls of our beloved Alma Mater for the first time; that we looked upon those honored Seniors with envy. Seniors, we are; honored, we are; but our envy has rewound itself, and now centers upon the Freshmen, who have four years before them, and in most cases, the happiest in their lives. In passing, we can only wish those classes which follow us, four years as happy, successful, and memorable as ours have been.

We all enjoyed working together and making plans for the future under the able presidency of Phyliss Reed. With this successful start, we were aided during our Sophomore year, which started off with electing Rita Barnes as president. Our first enterprise was a dance which was a social success and a definite boost to our treasury. With complete confidence we advanced into our Junior year under the ad-visorship of Mrs. Sands. After a thrilling campaign, we elected Milford Fargo as our president. We presented several dances which were all successful. Our Junior Prom was the big event of the season. For this we selected “The Campus Cheers’’ from Alfred University for the orchestra. The Junior play, “Miss Smarty,” under the direction of Miss McCarthy proved to be one of the most outstanding conquests of the year. As this is being written we still have the Junior and Senior Banquet to look forward to. This usually gives a head ache to the treasurer and a good time to everyone else. With our eyes wide open and an abundance of confidence we are hopefully anticipating our Senior year.

During the year, we held a dance and a party. Our dance was something new, for we invited students of five different schools to come, with the result that it was highly successful. The party was for Freshmen only and proved to be great fun for all. At our first Sophomore class meeting we elected William Bush as president. Our first class dance was postponed from November 10th to January 26th. The music was furnished by “The Happy Valley Boys and provided a fine evening of fun. We also had a Sophomore Party planned for April 13th but it was postponed because of the death of President Roosevelt. A dance is scheduled for May 25th, with the “Wyoming Wood Choppers.” The Sophomores put on an assembly for the grades and high school in which many Sophomores participated in some way or other. This has been a good year for the class of 1947, but we hope to have an even better one next year. We wish to thank Mrs. Pierce, Miss Kennedy, and Miss McCoord for helping us during the year. We especially want to thank Mrs. Ranger for making cur first dance decorations.

At our first class meeting the class officers were elected. We selected Lorraine Suess, Joanne Conway, Betty Calkins, Donald VanSon, Lorraine Hedger, and Harold McCormick to head the class. Due to the fact that our president moved out of town, Joanne Conway became president and Paul Meyers was elected vice-president. Our most important event of the year was the Freshman get together party. This took place in early November, and we danced to the music of the Juke Box and played games. Relay races and ping-pong were played. Then, later in the evening, delicious refreshments were served in the cafeteria. Everyone enjoyed this, our first, social event. Quite a few Freshmen boys and girls took part in extra school activities such as Varsity Basketball, Intramurals, and school plays. Under the excellent supervision of Mr. Gilbert, Miss Sadler, and Miss French, we have had a very enjoyable year and a fine start in high school. May this year be a basis for years to come. Due to the fact that we were unable to engage in any money making enterprises, our financial success is nil, but our future hopes are high Page 31 JUNIOR HIGH SCHOOL The Seventh Grade has approximately thirty-six pupils in all In the first parr of the year, the class joined together in the form cf a club. As officers, we elected Paul Gatgens, Richard Edwards, Carol Cooper, and Muriel Spencer. Mrs. Austin was our teacher. On Wednesday, March 21, the seventh grade homemaking class had a luncheon. We were divided into five groups and each group invited a teacher or friend for their guest. It turned out to be a success and a great deal of fun for all. Under the guidance of Mrs. Ranger, our grade designed spring hats for the front bulletin board. We have had a great many compliments on it, and it makes a very attractvie board. Our Eighth Grade this year consists of forty pupils. George Purdy, Allen Whitcomb, Catherine Glor and Thomas Hare were elected as class officers. We presented an assembly program for the high school in February which consisted of a play, a song by the Eighth Grade Girl’s Glee Club and a dance specialty. The boys have had industrial arts all of the school year, while the girls had homemaking the first half of the year, and are now having an instructive drawing class. The Eighth Grade joins in thanking Mrs. Wratten for her patience and untiring efforts which have, indeed, been very beneficial to us and will continue to be in the future. ALUMNI NEWS We devote this Dage to the recent Alumni of Attica High School. It contains their predictions as found in the year books of their prospective classes, and their present occupation, in contrast.

Due to a loss of many school days, active work did not begin on the Torch until March and a great deal of work was necessary because of many changes made this year. After selecting cover material, designs, taking pictures, and laying the book out, staff members settled down to the task of writing the material or gaining the information from some other source. The cooperation was magnificent and has been highly complimented, and everyone did his task willingly and well. It is our sincere hope that our Torch ' brings pleasure to many and, does, in part, compare to precious editions. To Mr. Harrington, goes our sincere thanks for his aid and fine spirit which were an impetus to us at all times. Page 36 The EAGLE STAFF First Row: S. Nordin, Thomas, Aldrich.

Mrs. Austin Due to the shortage of time and paper, the Eagle Staff is to be congratulated on putting out four editions of the “Eagle,” as usual. Several new ideas were inaugurated into the paper this year and received with great enthusiasm. Miss Kennedy’s and Mrs. Austin’s untiring efforts were the backbons for the success of the paper. Each edition has faithfully been sent to the boys in the service who are recent alumni of A.H.S. In the middle of zero weather, the staff held a sleigh ride and brought their friends. Everyone enjoyed the ride and the refreshments in the gym later. So the “Eagle” has come through again—a bigger, better paper and a high standard to keep in future years.

Harrington Time of Meeting: The Student Council meets during the sixth period the frst Wednesday of each month. Membership: Membership of the Student Council is composed of the Presi- dents of the Freshman, Sophomore, Junior and Senior Classes. It is also composed of an elected boy and girl member from each class; also one elected member from each of the school clubs. There are twenty-five members in the Council. Our Principal of the high school acts as advisor. Activities: The Student Council this year has been very active and very suc- cessful in all of its activities. At the first meeting, the school program was laid out. The dates for dances and other activities of all the classes and clubs were arranged. The Student Council has given several dances with the music furnished by the juke-box, purchased by last year's Council. We also invested in some very attractive pins as a remembrance of the fun we have had. An assembly staged by the members and directed by Mr. Harrington, to commemorate Armistice Day, was given and very well liked. The sound-movie projector which got its start last year finally was purchased end delivered. It is a brand new one and several films have already been shown. It is our belief and hope that the splendid work done by this year’s Council and those preceding it will be carried on by the students who are coming up. First Row: Bush, Spencer. B.

A square dance was first held in the winter months, at which a goodly crowd turned out. Another dance was held in March and proved equally successful. An Achievement Day was called for all F.F.A. boys in the county and they were judged as to ability and knowledge in certain fields of agriculture. Later, in the year, a huge Poultry Show was held in the high school. Poultry was brought in from far and near, and awards made by the judges. There were movies, and demonstrations for all to enjoy and benefit by. Several boys from Attica took awards and prizes in the county contests that have been held this year.

The goal of Attica High School is to prepare the young boys and girls for war-time duties and militaristic drilling. We are striving to keep the youth of America in the best of health and up to a high standard of moral living. Through Basketball, Baseball, Soccer, Track, Badminton, Volleyball, and Ping Pong, we have in part, reached our goal. May the spirit of good sportsmanship continue to prevail in Attica High School.

Alexander 49 Warsaw 21 Arcade 14 Lancaster 28 Perry 41 Batavia 41 Alden 14 Under the competent direction of our coach, George Patte, and the co-captains, Dick Runvik and Dick Holbrook, the team had a good season considering the handicaps of an inexperienced team. The only member left from last season's team was Dick Runvik. This meant that Buck Davis, Dick Holbrook, Dick Hoffmeister, Jack Spencer, George Seligman, Wayne Kirkpatrick, Dick Godfrey, Bob Nordin, and Bernard Heebner, had to be taught the trade of the varsity team. The first league game which was played here was lost to Warsaw, but we still had hopes of the championship in our minds. Our next clash with our league competitors was with Arcade and this game proved that we had fight in us because of the close win which came to us in the final minutes of the last quarter. Again the breaks were against us for we met the victors of last year’s league, Perry. The game was close from the start but in the last quarter. Perry plunged ahead to victory. Our next two games with Warsaw and Arcade turned out to be victories. This gave us high hopes for if we were victorious in our next meeting with Perry, we would be part of a three-way tie for first place with Warsaw and Perry. We all played our hearts out but due to their overwhelming experience from previous years we went down in defeat. The members of the team are to be congratulated for the fine spirit of sportsmanship and great perseverance which they displayed throughout the entire season. Page 47 CHEELEADERS 1944-1945 This year’s cheerleading squad consisted of three Seniors: Harriet Kuhn, Margaret Schreiber, Ardyth Suess; three Juniors: Jo Ann Inglis, Helen Shreder, Elaine Werner; two Sophomores: Beatrice Petrie and Elaine Thomas. Rose DeVito, a Junior, acted as a substitute. These girls are to be congratulated for their enthusiastic leadership at the home games and the out-of-town games. With a great deal of pep and vivaciousness they were always on hand to lead the Attica fans in cheering our team onto victory. The girls spent much time and energy both in rehearsals and at the games. The fine spirit of sportsmanship which they displayed gave an excellent example to the student body. With appreciation and fond memories we bid farewell to the Senior cheerleaders. We are looking forward to seeing the other girls next year again leading us in their graceful, energetic manner.

BASEBALL Coach Captain of ’44 Captain of ’45 Manager George Patte Richard Jasnau George Seligman Richard Walsh SCHEDULE Attica 3 vs. Warsaw 26 Attica 4 vs. Batavia 12 Attica 10 vs. Alexander 4 Attica 4 vs. Arcade 3 Attica 3 vs. Arcade 4 Attica 4 vs. Alexander 3 Attica 1 vs. Warsaw 4 Under the able captaincy of Richard Jasnau, and coaching of George Patte, last year’s baseball team had a successful season considering the handicaps encountered by them. It was a close draw throughout, but the final game to determine the county champions ended in a victory for Warsaw. Thus, we completed the year in second place. As the 1945 team gets back in the groove,” there are only five veterans of last year’s team— namely, Holbrook, Spencer, Seligman, Dunham, and Runvik. George Seligman is again on the mound, as is Jack Spencer. First base is covered by Buck Davis; second, by Bob Nordin; and third, by George Lewis. Dick Godfrey is playing shortstop, while the outfield consists of Dunham, Hol- brook, and Runvik. Robert Seufort and Bernard Heebner are alternate catchers. As yet, only one game has been played this season, and that with Alexander. It was a victory for Attica with a six to one score. All our hopes and confidence are in future wins for this year’s team. Page 49 The GIRLS' ATHLETIC ASSOCIATION OFFICERS President Peg Schreiber Secretary and Treasurer Sue Nordin Girl Representative Phyllis Reed Under the excellent supervision of Coach Patte, this year proved to be a very active one. The girls started off the year with a soccer tournament. The two teams were led by Peg Schreiber and Sue Harrington—Sue’s team winning. In December we turned our minds to indoor sports. Our first basketball tournament was an eventful one. Pauline Merle, Joe Ann Inglis, Betty Meyers, and Elaine Werner were chosen captains. Joe Ann s team came out on top. The second basketball tournament saw Phyllis Reed and Rita Barnes as captains. Phyl’s team ended in the lead. Early in March the Girls' Athletic Association of Batavia invited 10 girls from Attica to a St. Patrick’s Day Playday where the girls played basketball. Each girl was placed on a team with 5 girls from surrounding schools. Joe Ann Inglis was the only one from Attica on a winning team. The noon-hour group met every Tuesday and Thursday. They followed much the same schedule as the after-school group. The girls appreciate Coach Patte’s guidance throughout the year and are looking forward to another year as active and successful as this one. First Row: F. Zymowski, M. Reding, J.
