Text from Pages 1 - 80 of the 1946 volume:

ATTICA HIGH SCHOOL 7he %■nek W6 Published by THE STUDENT BODY of ATTICA HIGH SCHOOL Attica, N. Y. fyoneuMVul Because of the bravery and unselfishness of our fellow Americans, we the Student Body of Attica High School are proud to be able to present the first peacetime edition of The Torch” since 1941. The years which we have spent in school have been greatly agitated by war and the problems of the world. However, we have endeavored to cope with this situation by studying diligently, participating in athletics and extra-curricular activities, and rendering patriotic services so that we might be prepared mentally, physically, and socially to establish our positions in the world. That the memories of our high school days may live in print as well as in our hearts, we edit this book. It is our sincere hope that it may stand as a symbol of a custom unchanged in a world still suffering from the shocks of war and fearful of the uncertainties that lie ahead. Today is ours . . on it will depend our tomorrows. Let us ever keep the Torch of Freedom and Democracy waving high. Page 4 edkrdicm MRS.. CHARLOTTE RANGER To Mrs. Charlotte Ranger, who in her twenty-five years of faithful service in Attica High School has proved to be a competent instructor and sincere friend to not only those in her art classes but also those in every day life, we, the students of Attica High School, respectfully and appreciatively dedicate this first peacetime issue of our year-book . . . The Torch We sincerely hope that Mrs. Ranger will remain with us throughout many of the forthcoming years and will be to her future students and friends, as she has been to those in the past, a lasting friend whose untiring efforts to aid others have made her dear to the hearts of her acquaintances throughout her entire life.

Page 6 Jn iiicmortam Little did we, the American people, realize after World War I that our great nation would again be dragged into the most dangerous struggle of all times. After the signing of the Armistice in 1918, the United States worked hard to promote an everlasting peace for itself as well as for the other countries in the world. Our nation tried extremely hard to fulfill its part, but certain countries in the eastern hemisphere— mainly Germany, Japan, and Italy wanted wealth and more territory. Not being satisfied with what they had and having a greedy heart and hand, they suddenly rebelled against the smaller nations—over-throwing their governments and gaining control of their possessions. America soon learned of this plot and carefully guarded her own coast against invasion. Five or more years gradually passed before the entire western hemisphere found herself a part of this dreadful catastrophe. The President sent out a call to arms, and before long the United States’ army, navy, and marine corps were in full operation. Young boys who were of the correct age and in good health were engaged in some branch of service. Attica was one of the many small towns left desolate and barren of young men as a result of sending our brothers, close relatives, and sweethearts to help in the great strife to aid in the service of their country. The town proudly erected an honor roll, containing the names of those who went to war, in the center of town. Gold stars were sadly placed before the names of those who died honorably while fighting to preserve our nation. As students of the senior class of 1946, we wish to express our sincere sympathy to those who lost their loved ones during this war. May the cross you bear at this time be made as light as any cross. One of many, many torches have been thrown to you to carry high, and with that which we know you are made of, you’ll carry it high. We students have chosen this verse, aboxe all others, as the symbol of our cherished thoughts: May it help somehow to ease All the sorrow that you bear Just to know how much your friends Deeply sympathize and care; May the cherished memories That are in your heart today Help sustain and comfort you All along your future way.

Parents, faculty, and students of Attica have been very considerate, and I will always treasure pleasant memories of many worthwhile friendships made here. The war years in education pre- D g HARRINGTON, Principal sented difficult problems. The closest cooperation between students, teachers, administration, and the home was required and freely given. The Spirit of Attica was the Spirit of America as shown by a confidence in our ability and a firm determination to win. Splendid support was received from the Board of Education. They always supported the best interests of the child regardless of outside pressure. Attica High School is a sound, progressive, growing institution of learning. It serves students from 41 school districts in three counties. It has some of the best teachers in New York State. Attica’s glory is the record of her graduates. I am glad that my children had the opportunity to attend this school. I am lucky to have had a small part in this school program. Students rarely forget their Principal. I hope that you will always think kindly of me. Very truly yours, D. B. HARRINGTON MR. D. B. HARRINGTON Principal Syracuse University, B.S. Cornell University MR.

At our first class meeting we chose a fine set of officers who led us with great ability. They were: Phyllis Reed, President; Janet Strobel, Vice-President; Ann Tretter, Treasurer; Virginia Sturrock, Secretary, and Leo Reding and Marie Smith, Boy and Girl Representatives. Miss McCoord, Miss Richardson, and Mr. Carl were our able advisors. Our sophomore year started off with a bang! Our very able officers-elect were Rita Barnes, President; Lois Richter, Vice-President; Phyllis Reed, Secretary; Rae Leyden, Treasurer, and Marilyn Allen and Paul Krotz, Girl and Boy Representatives. Under the capable leadership of Mrs. Pierce and Mr. Cogger we held a very successful Victory Dance, Variety Assembly, and a Spring Dance. These two dances helped us start a good treasury for our Junior year. With complete confidence we started our Junior year at A.H.S. with Mrs Sands as our ambitious advisor. One reason for our successful year was our competent leaders. They were: President, Milford Fargo; Joe Ann Inglis, Vice-President; Secretary, Shirley Aldrich; Treasurer, Richard Walsh; Boy and Girl Representatives, James Pasnewski and Rita Barnes. Our Junior Prom swung through four happy hours with the Campus Cheers from Alfred University. Our play, Miss Smarty,” under the fine direction of Miss McCarthy was of course a success! Next on the agenda came our Junior-Senior Banquet, which we all enjoyed thanks to Rev. Robert Spears’ wonderful address. With three years of hoping, hard work, and good guidance, we found ourselves Seniors! With the usual sensible judgment we elected Richard Holbrook, President; June Youngs, Vice-President; Phyllis Reed, Secretary; Ruth Van Son, Treasurer, and Milford Fargo and Rita Barnes, Boy and Girl Representatives. During January our President, Dick Holbrook, left for Navy Air Cadet service, and June Youngs became our highest official. James Parsons filled her former office as Vice-President. Our activities for the year were: Hallowe’en Square Dance, Senior Ball with Bill Bird, Fashion Show, and our Minstrel Show, the last two of which were huge successes. A bake sale and the sale of candy also boosted our budget to face the Detroit trip. As this goes to press we are looking forward to Class Night, graduation, and above all, our boat trip to Detroit.

We elected Margaret Beaver our president. Under the careful and helpful assistance of Miss Van de Work and Mr. Carl we enjoyed a very successful year. As Sophomores, we elected William Bush as president. We held two dances during the course of our school year. Each was a success and were enjoyed by all who attended. Miss Kennedy, Miss McCoord and Mrs. Pierce were generous and very helpful in making our Sophomore year a happy one. Now as up and coming Juniors, we elected Richard Godfrey as president, Harland McElwain as vice-president, Leola Snyder as secretary, William Bush as treasurer and Tom Wilson and Doris Cuddeback representatives. We began the year with a dance which was a big success. The Wyoming Wood-choppers” furnished the music. Two other dances were scheduled, but were postponed. The Junior Play” under the capable direction of Miss McCarthy was enjoyed by all who attended. We also sold emblems and held a bake sale. Both these enterprises netted us substantial profits. We are looking forward to the Junior Prom” and our Junior-Senior Banquet. The music for the Prom will be furnished by Bill Birds Orchestra. This year has been a most successful one. Mrs. Sands, our advisor, has been most helpful and we owe many thanks to her in preparing for our forthcoming year as Seniors.

Wc elected Lorraine Suess to lead the class but as she moved away during the year Joanne Conway became our president. Our big event of the year was a party which was enjoyed by all. The year ended with the Freshmen coming through with great success. In the following year, as Sophomores, we elected Louis Smith as our president and since we were successful before we were sure of more success in the coming year. During the year we held two dances which were very successful. The music for these dances was provided by the Wyoming Wood Choppers” and Don Youngs Orchestra. This year the Sophomores, who were one of the most active classes in Attica High, participated in just about every activity in the school. For the class of 1948, this year as Sophomores proved to be very successful, but we still are struggling for higher standards and more success. Each and every Sophomore also wishes to express their appreciation to Miss Kennedy and Miss McCarthy for their effective help during the year.

At the present we are all looking forward to a spring party to be held at die end of the term. This concludes a brief summary of our first year in High School and an enjoyable first year for the entire class. We arc all looking forward wholeheartedly to a very enjoyable and successful year as Sophomores. Page 35 JUNIOR HIGH SCHOOL This year in our Seventh Grade we have a Game Club. Our officers are: President— Mary Bronson; Vice-President—Roger Walker; Secretary—Natalie Suess, and Treasurer— Sylvia Young. We meet every Monday morning and have a lot of fun.

At the organization meeting we elected the following officers: President—Carol Knobloch; Vice-President— Shirley Balzhiser, Secretary and Treasurer—Neva Sergei; Boy Representative—Reid King, and Girl Representative—Muriel Spencer. The school year has been very pleasant and profitable due to the cooperation of the class and the excellent teaching of Mrs. Wratten.

Anderson Vice-President Mrs. Thomas Walters Secretary Mrs. F. J. Rogers Treasurer Fred J.

The co-operation was excellent and everyone had to work hard and willingly to get the cover, designs, pictures, laying of the book and written material made up. The spirit of the Torch staff helped to bring the Torch” an overwhelming success. For the first time since the Torch” has been published we are going to celebrate by having a party.

As the paper shortage was not so severe as last year, five issues of our school paper were published. The staff had much fun working out and experimenting with new and different ideas for the theme and lay-out of the Eagle.” With the diligent co-operation of our expert advertising staff, these five editions were a huge success. We should like to thank Miss Kennedy for helping to make this paper one of the outstanding events of the year. Let’s hope next years paper will be as great a Hit” as this year’s was. Page 41 STUDENT COUNCIL — 1945- 1946 President Vice-President Secretary Treasurer Advisor OFFICERS .................... Milford Fargo Richard Holbrook ..................... Teresa Meyer Richard Godfrey D. B. Harrington This year the Student Council under the guidance of Mr. Harrington, has made great progress towards becoming one of the very strongest organizations in the school. It has not only successfully fulfilled die traditional responsibilities of the council, but it has also fostered many activities. The Student Council is composed of the president and two representatives of each class and a representative of each club. Regular meetings arc held di first Wednesday of each month. The planning of the school calendar was the first major project. This calendar lists the dates for all dances, plays, and other important events in the school. To prevent unnecessary confusion in the corridors, the hall monitor system was promoted. Everyone was pleased with the success of the plan. Early in the year the council assumed the responsibility of ordering a group of films. With the assistance of Mr. Frank these movies were shown every Wednesday during die noon hour. The annual Halloween Masquerade was again sponsored by the council. At this event the entire student body enjoyed an evening of free entertainment. Surely the splendid accomplishments of this year’s council offers a challenge to the future members of this organization.

Mr. Harrington filled in until Mr. Harrison was obtained after six weeks. During this time, they held the annual School Fair which drew a large attendance. Two dances were given during the year, making some money on each. In February, the annual Achievement Day contests were held here when Future Farmers from all over the County came to judge Poultry, Stock, Potatoes, Hay, Feeds, Seds and for a Shop Contest. Stock from the Prison Farm can be used here, making this about the best place in the County to conduct Stock Judging. In April, the annual Poultry Show was held here. The number of entries was large as well as rhe attendance. Specialists from the Cornell Colleg of Agriculture conducted demonstrations. The Future Farmers feel that they have had a successful as well as happy year. Page 43 CLUB OFFICERS and ADVISORS INDUSTRIAL President .............

Page 48 DIRECTOR of PHYSICAL EDUCATION COACH PATTE The boys and girls of Attica High School participate in a wide variety of activities in the Physical Education Program . . . through regular scheduled physical education classes, varsity, and intra-mural athletics. The boys sports played on a varsity level are Basketball, Basball, Soccer and Track. Tennis and Golf are being added this year. The sports mentioned above plus Softball, Badminton, Volleyball, Ping-pong and Bowling are actively engaged in by the boys and girls in the intramural program. It is the aim of the Physical Education Department to develop sound bodies and normal mental attitudes, the understanding and practice of desirable social relationships and the appreciation and desire for worth-while activities.

Under the direction of our coach, George Patte, and our captain, Dick Holbrook, the team succeeded in overcoming most of their handicaps. The first part of the season looked good for the Attica quintet, but as the season progressed, things did not turn out as was expected. Our first league game with Perry turned us back with defeat but this did not stop us. After a close hard fought game with Warsaw, we again took a bitter defeat. But then we came back fighting hard and swamped Arcade for a victory. Then after another hard fought game with Perry, we suffered the blow of defeat. Even though Warsaw defeated us again, we still fought on. In our last league game we again succeeded in defeating Arcade by a tremendous score. The loss of our captain, Dick Holbrook, during the season effected the team greatly. Every member of the team fought hard during the season and should be congratulated for the teamwork which was presented by them.

With Seligman and Spencer on the mound, we won a total of 7 games and lost only 3. It might be interesting to know that our team’s batting average is far above that of our opponents and that it was only a matter of one of two points when we lost two games to Warsaw. Attica’s three men with top batting averages are Heebner, Myers and Seligman. Considering the fact that we had many new veterans on the field and only five old veterans, this past year’s baseball team has been one of the best.

The Chef’s Club, this year, under the direction of Mr. Harrington has had a lot of fun and some interesting experiences. We began the year by electing our officers: Dick Godfrey, president; Bob George, secretary, and treasurer and representative, Dick Hoffmeister. After these formal operations we settled down making plans for a big Spaghetti Dinner. The dinner was held in the school cafeteria and it was a huge success. All the members donned in chef’s hats, participated in some way. Comments were enlightening and encouraging. In May an outdoor picnic was held and all the members invited a guest. Everyone enjoyed this picnic thoroughly. The Chef’s Club has had a very successful year and plans for next year make it look even bigger. Page 5 ■ CHEERLEADERS — 1945 - 1946 Were our cheerleaders a success this year? They certainly were. Congratulations are extended to our Senior cheerleaders, Joc-Ann Inglis and Honey” Shreder, who have been superb cheerleaders for the past three years, and too, Elaine Werner and Beatrice Petrie who are also leaving after two years of cheerleading. Elaine Thomas, a Junior, has just finished her second year of cheerleading. We are so proud of our three new Sophomore cheerleaders, Lorraine Suess, Joanne Shreder, and Joanne Conway, whose enthusiasm and cooperation inspired all. Our pretty group of girls certainly looked chic in their new royal blue corduroy skirts. The girls really had fun in trying out new cheers and motions which the student body enjoyed very much. To finish up a grand cheering season the girls treated themselves to dinner and the theater in Buffalo. We wish to thank the students and the faculty for showing such school spirit at our games. Go-team-go, go-team-go; Pass them high, pass them low, Go-team-go. Arc: Suess, Werner, Petrie, Inglis, Thomas, Conway, Shreder. Center: H. Shreder.
