CL It t CL a r c l| - 1949 - ■JJrrsenttfh by (The jStubents of J ttica Jligh j rbool JVtiira, :Nrrfii HJorh Cw L Our Alma Mater Near the banks of Tonawanda Stands our High School true, To the shouts of sons and daughters Floats the orange and blue. School we love and proudly stand for Let your colors fly. Hail! to thee our Alma Mater Hail! all Attica High! From the hills of old Wyoming Down the windings ways, Come as loyal sons and daughters Bring her lasting praise. School we love and proudly stand for Let your colors fly. Hail: to thee our Alma Mater Hail! all Attica High! Theme All of us are wondering about the future. What lies ahead of us? Some ot us have hopes and plans; yet others are still undecided. There-iore, the Torch of ’49 resolves to have the future as its aim. The desire of this Torch is that all of us shall be successful. By this we do not anticipate wealth or high position, but the accomplishment of one’s hopes and desires. If we obtain our aim in life, we will have reached prosperity. Whatever our past has been, we must strive to do better. Whether our goal is simple or difficult, we shall endeavor to obtain it. Some of us may find things difficult at first, but, with the help of God, we shall overcome all hardships and reach our destination. Our vocations vary considerably: some of us will be in the business world, some in the professional world and others in the home economics field. But what is most necessary is that we choose a career that we enjoy and to which we are well adapted. What good is it if we have a career that brings us no felicity? Even if this position has good financial qualities, is it not more important that we enjoy our work and receive happiness from it ? With this in view, the Torch of ’49 hopes to see all of you reach the height of prosperity and wishes you the greatest success in the future. 3 DEDICATION... This year we wish to dedicate the “Torch” to Mr. Roberts, our athletic director, for his constant efforts to improve our physical education program. Since Coach Roberts has been with us, there has been a high level of interest in all ot our atheltic, contests. In the past two years we have had good reason to he proud of some of our undefeated varsity teams, but to our delight, Mr. Roberts has not been satisfied with merely producing winning teams. His main interest has been in improving tin individual student. Through a carefully-planned inter-mural sports program, “Coach” has succeeded in instilling the ideals of true sportsmanship in each student. In some way, small or large, we feel that Coach Roberts has helped each ot us and that we have benefited greatly because of our association with him in many athletic activities. 4 We’re Proud of Our Principal During the past year the students and faculty of Attica High School have been ably guided by our very competent principal, Mr. Peter P. King. Mr. King came to us from Romulus, a smaller school in the southeastern part of the state, and his work this year showed that he more than earned his promotion. He is a graduate of Syracuse University and has earned Bachelor of Science and Masters of Education degrees. He taught vocational Agriculture and Science in Gorham Central School, which is in the central part of the state. Under his guidance, a scholastic and extra-curricular program was drawn up, which furnished Attica High School with plenty of social and athletic activities as well as those pertaining to our academic program. Mr. King’s friendly, forthright manner was quickly accepted and fully appreciated by the pupils of our school in his attempts to bring a more friendly relationship between the teacher and pupil Mr. King was also a prominent figure in an attempt to organize a youth recreation center in Attica. It can be truthfully said that Mr. King’s motto, “Onward and Upward,” applies not only to his thoughts but also to his actions. FACULTY Mr. Peter King (M.Ed.) Mr. Lowell B. Fox (B.A..

Our fears were quickly dispersed, however, as our Freshman year got under way with Miss French, Miss Sadler, and Mr. Barons as class advisors. Our class officers were: President, Edward Schmidt; Vice President, Howard Novak; Secretary, Catherine Glor; Treasurer, Carol Calkins; and Representatives, Norman Ripstein and Mary Lou Suess. That year, we held a class party in the gym, and at the end of the year, we held a spring party at the home of Geraldine Willard. We moved on to our Sophomore year in high spirits and with more confidence than we had the previous year. To boost our treasury, we held two successful dances. After a good and prosperous year, we were eagerly looking forward to our Junior and Senior days. Class officers for our second year were: President, Mary Lou Suess; Vice President, Allen Whitcomb; Secretary, Sally Ostertag; Treasurer, Sally Buchanan; Girl Representative, Jean Rifenburg; and Boy Representative, Norman Ripstein. Our very able class advisors were Miss Kennedy, Miss McCarthy, and Mrs. McKinstry. Our goal is coming nearer as we go into the third year of our career. As Juniors we proved to be a successful and active class. Dances, a bake sale, assembly program, Junior Play, Junior Prom, and the Junior-Senior Banquet headed our list of undertakings. While these events were taking place, our treasury was continually increasing. Under the very capable leadership of Mr. Crandall, our advisor, we had a happy year. Our class officers were: President, Geraldine Willard; Vice President, Barbara Wilson; Secretary, Jean Rifenburg; Treasurer, Norman Ripstein; Girl Representative, Shirley West, and Boy Representative, Irving Beitz. At last we have reached our goal! We are Seniors! After three years of brain-wracking toil, we feel that we have earned the privilege of being allowed to enter that sacred sanctuary, Senior Homeroom. During this last year, we have again made our mark as a successful and active class. We have sposored such thriving enterprises as dances, Senior Ball, Fashion Show, sale of magazines, Senior Play, and sale of Christmas cards. We were lucky to have Mr. Fox for our class advisor. Class Officers were: President, Allen Whitcomb; Vice President, Geraldine Willard; Secretary, Thelma Beglinger; Treasurer, Norman Ripstein; Girl Representative, Arlene Smith; Boy Representative, Irving Beitz. As we go on to our futures, we bid a fond farewell to Attica High School where we have made so many friends and had such happy times, probably the best of our lives. ic CLASS WILL We, the SENIOR CLASS of the ATTICA HIGH SCHOOL, Attica, in the County of Wyoming and State of New York, being of sound mind and memory, do make, publish and declare this our last WILL and TESTAMENT, in manner following, that is to say: First: We direct that all our debts and funeral expenses be paid.

We started our freshman year with a rousing election bringing Webber Griffin out ou toj) as President and Leo Brady as Vice President. Mr. Barons, Mrs. Crandall, and Mr. Fox , our class advisors, helped to plan a successful masquerade party and a hay ride. Our second year was an exciting one because we had grown out of our greenhorn stage into our Sophomore ('lass. Under Miss Kennedy and Mrs. Crandall as advisors, and with Carol Cooper as President and Buddy Rice as Vice President, we started a very successful year. Our first event was a round and square dance which was a great success due to the hard, continuous work of all committees. Next came the greatly appreciated Sophomore Assembly. The Seniors sponsored a stunt night in which we took first prize acting out several old songs. Now we are in our great Junior year which makes us feel rather important. Under the able direction of our advisors, Miss Kennedy and Mr. Yengo, and our officers who are: Robert George, President; Jean Giese, Vice President; Shirley Balzhiser, Secretary; Rose Becker, Treasurer; Maxine Clark and Reid King, Representatives; and Carol Cooper, Social Chairman, we started the year selling pencils with the basketball schedule imprinted. This was so successful we decided to sell Attica High jackets, sweat shirts, tee shirts, and kerchiefs. This spring we sold baseball pencils. At Christmas time we put on a religious pantomine. Also the Junior Class sponsored two bake sales and an assembly. Because of so many activities we were unable to put on our annual Junior Play. Now as this great year draws to a close, we are looking forward with great eagerness to the Junior Prom and the Junior-Senior Banquet. 24 JUNIOR CLASS Abramski, Richard Alexander, Edith Balzhiser, Shirley Becker, Beatrice Becker, Peter Becker, Rose Brady, Leo Brown, Patricia Causer, Shirley Clark, Maxine Colton, Charles Cooper, Carol Curry, Maureen Daniels, Elizabeth DeVito, Mary Eck, Marlene Edwards, Evelyn Edwards, Richard Flynn, Frank Geise, Jean George, Robert George, Ruby Glor, Beverly Gramm, Jane Griffin, Charles Griffin, Webber Grover, Mary Hartway, Gordon Heebner.

Hay rides, sleigh rides and other activities were numbered among our accomplishments for the enjoyment of all who participated. The boys and girls took part in many activities such as basketball, bowling, intramurals, and plays. We entered our sophomore year with great enthusiasm for an even greater success. Tom George, Joyce Pope, Sylvia Young, June Cramer, James Colton, and Charlotte Kiebzak were lected to head our class. The Wyoming Woodchoppers provided music for a dance, sponsored by our class, which proved to be very successful. This year the sophomores were busy as bees with members participating in just about every school event. As this year draws to a close, we are beginning to look forward to some happy times in the future. We are proud of the strong class spirit which we, as Sophomores, have shown. Now all we want to do is demonstrate some more of our variable abilities in the fields, of drama, sports, and social works.

A Thanksgiving Assembly was the first activity indulged in by the Freshmen. The assembly was a success and enjoyed by all who attended. A second assembly was scheduled for later in the year. A party for Freshmen students was given at the school. Mr. and Mrs. O’Connor and our janitor, Mr. Gay, acted as chaperones. Refreshments added to a good time had by all who were present. A public bake sale was held in March at the Grange Hall. A profit of approximately $40 was cleared.

By using the mimeograph machine, we have furnished the students with news “hot off the press” and at a very reasonable rate. Our treasury this year is very substantial and will furnish us with sufficient profits for the first Eagle party in many years. We wish to thank the typists who so willingly contributed their time, and especially Miss Kennedy, who so ably advised us. THE STUDENT COUNCIL President Secretary ... Treasurer Allen Whitcomb Maxine Clark Arlene Smith The Student Council in the school year of 1948-1949 has made a great deal of progress in its high aim of directing and improving school activities. Under the capable direction of Mrs. Ranger, we selected excellent officers and began work on the school calendar early in the fall. Classes submitted their bids for the various school activities, and dates were established for class and club meetings, dances, games, and assemblies. A Student Council movie was presented as a very good entertainment feature of one of the assemblies. Other activities of Student Council members included a visit by Mrs. Ranger and three distinguished members to a student government conference of high school pupils held this year at Marion Central School. Here they ably represented Attica High School and learned ideas about student government, which we hope can be adopted into oiir student council. We representatives of the student body each year strive to improve not only our student government but also the activities and welfare of the students of Attica High School. This year we hope sincerely that we have approached fulfillment of that high ideal.

Under the excellent leadership of Miss Pollock, they have perfected these songs: Prayer from Hansel and Gretel, Carol of Russian Children, The Elephant and the Chimpanzee, and Homing. Miss Pollock has selected some of the girls and formed an ensemble. These girls sacrifice their noon hours in order to have the opportunity to compete at Amherst, May 13 and 14. By working diligently, they have accomplished singing the difficult “In My Garden.” The girls possess excellent voice qualities that Miss Pollock has capably blended into harmonious melodies. as BOYS GLEE CLUB One of the outstanding features of Attica High is the fact that it has in its possession a fine group of thirty-one male singers. We were fortunate in having them perform for the Senior Fashion Show, and they have received many compliments on their singing. By meeting on Mondays and Wednesday, the boys have mastered the following songs: Stout Hearted Men, I Got Shoes, Orchestra Song, Dance, My Comrades, Mosquitoes, and The Riff Song. Some of the group sang at Amherst this year, and others have been selected to sing at Lancaster in the All-State Festival. They take great pleasure in singing and working together under the direction of Miss Pollock, who has done excellent work in developing the boys’ voices. 3!

With our co-captains Tom Hare and Howard Herman leading the way in scoring, we again won the Wyoming County championship, with a record of 7 wins and 1 loss. Perhaps one of the greatest upsets ever to occur happened to Perry when they were beaten by Warsaw. This threw new light on our chances and we set our eyes on the game over at Perry as the game of the year. Tom Hare had perhaps his best night, helping to beat Perry at home for the first time in a great many seasons. We also defeated Alexander in two games which were very close and hard fought. We wish to thank Coach Roberts for the fine way in which lie guided us to a second successive year of championship play. We will touch very lightly on our sectional game which Penn Van took decisively. W ith the greater part of this year’s team leaving, the Javvees will, we are sure, show themselves very capable of carrying on in the basketball wars for Paul W iniecki. Boh Shadbolt, Ike Beitz, Rev Whitcomb, Don Wellman, Tom Hare, Howard Herman, H. J. Novak, and Norm Fisher. ■12 J V’S The .Jayvees this year played a magnificent season. Out ot‘ 16 games, they won 13. This was the best J V team to appear in the Wyoming County League in quite a few years. Led by Captain Roger Walker, they scored one victory after another. Bob Hare was high scorer, Frank Flynn was superb at the backboard, and “Burly” King played excellent offense. With Bob Hare and Dick Heebner as forwards, Frank Flynn as center, and Roger Walker and Reid King as guards, these boys formed a fine and successful team. We are looking forward to seeing these boys on the team next year, and hope they will do as well then. CHEER LEADERS Orange and Blue — Fight, Fight! Orange and Blue — Fight, Fight! Who fight ? You fight! Orange and Blue — Fight Fight! This year’s group consisted of nine girls: four Seniors, Sally Ostertag, Carol Calkins, Catherine Glor, and Barbara Wilson; three Juniors, Carol Cooper, Muriel Spencer, ami Maxine Clark; and two sophomores, Natalie Xuess, and Fisa Fck. Me want to express our thanks to the four Seniors who are graduating. During the year, five new cheers, in addition to some songs, were introduced. 1 lie cheerleaders spent many hours getting the cheers in shape, hut it was worthwhile cheering the team to victory. e wish to thank the faculty and student body for their support, both to us and the school’s championship team. 44 48-49 BASKETBALL SCHEDULE OF SCORES Attica 41 there Alexander 40 Attica 35 here Silver Creek 26 Attica 58 there Warsaw 37 Attica 54 here Arcade 41 Attica 34 here Perry 43 Attica 54 here Albion 35 Attica 55 there Letchworth 33 Attica 55 here Warsaw 35 Attica 51 there Albion 70 Attica 50 here Alexander 37 Attica 58 there Arcade 31 Attica 36 there Perry 26 Attica 44 there Geneseo 58 Attica 51 here York 50 Attica 65 here Letchworth 41 Sectionals Attica 39 � ' ) I r there Penn Yan 61 4.', FOOTBALL This year we have football back in school after an absence of a number of years. The game took the place of soccer which is not played much in this area. Much enthusiasm was shown over its revival. The team worked hard under the supervision of Coaches O’Connor and Roberts. Although no games were won, the boys did well considering that this was their first year. They participated in some close and rough battles with some of the teams in the surrounding districts. There was a scarcity of players, but Herman, Leyden, Wellman, and Stangrover, were great additions to the team. Strangrover was captain of the team. Our next year’s team should be much better as they have learned a great deal. So come on kids, give them your wholehearted support! -a; BASEBALL ruder the capable guidance of Coach Roberts and the captaincy of Jack Cook, the baseball team had another banner year. Elly Glor led the hitters with a tremendous .425 batting average. Don Wellman, along with playing first base, hit very consistently. Walt Roemer did a very fine job of catching which is no pleasant chore. The team worked as a unit very well in completing an envious record of 13 wins and only 2 losses. Hare and Whitcomb capably handled the major part of the pitching. Dean Lawrence proved to be a very good relief pitcher. Bobo Schreiner, Boh Shadbolt, and Howard Herman played their respective positions very well and each one hit the ball readily. We lost our sectional game to West High of Rochester who fielded the best team that we met all year. The players in defeat gave a very good account of themselves. We will greatly miss the seniors who will be leaving, but we hope to field a good team depending on rookie material along with the lettermen. 47 BOY’S BOWLING Bowling is a sport that is enjoyed by many of the boys of A. H. S. It is one that requires much skill but our trusty lads of Attica have become masters of this great sport. It has been the custom in the past to confine bowling to High School boys only, but this year the seventh and eighth grades were welcomed into the group. By forming six teams, they started a tournnament. Competition was very keen and the first place team had to battle hard for its honors. Russell Pieri, our star bowler, finished second in the county events; One place higher would have enabled him to compete at Rochester. After finishing a successful year, we are now looking forward to bigger and better howling teams for A. II. S. •ns G. A. A The G. A. A. had a successful year which was started by electing the following officers: President — Carol Cooper, Treasurer — Shirley Balzhiser, and Girl Representative — Sally Ostertag. The year started out with soccer which lasted only a short time. The one and only game was a county playday at Warsaw. Next on the agenda came the basketball season. At a special meeting in Batavia, the girls were given tips on refereeing and and basketball techniques. At this meeting, it was announced that the girls’ game of basketball had been awarded the double dribble. This new play was immediately adopted by the girls to avail. The juniors met their first opponents in Batavia on the latter’s court, but they were unable to schedule a second game. The freshmen and sophomores played against Alexander there and later here. The girls who did not participate in these three games traveled to the sports day at Perry to finish the season. Many new bowlers turned out this year. The bowlers established a record of which A. H. S. is truly proud. In the Telegraphic Bowling Meet, which is composed of fourteen competing schools, Attica eased into third place. The bowlers journeyed to Arcade in the county play-offs and excelled with high scores. They also competed with Elba at Batavia’s alleys. The Junior girls bowled against the faculty and beat them by a few points. The Junior girls also played against the women’s faculty in basketball. The teachers made a very peppy appearance, but they soon lost it — and the game. There has been a large enrollment for bowling during the eighth period. Top bowlers for the year and their averages are: Catherine Glor—136, Barbara Wilson—135, Carol Cooper—126, Anne Lowry—119, Sally Ostertag—118, and Virginia Youngs—116. Many thanks to Miss Kohl who cooperated with the girls to make this year one always to be remembered! 49 TRACK During the past year of 1948, the Attica High School Track Team, operating on an expanded program, moved to a new start with an improved team. Working hard under the able supervision of Mr. J. C. Crandall, a team with real possibilities was produced. Xot since years ago, when Attica possessed championship teams, did we have such outstanding chances for individual honors. Although the team as a whole was not too successful, the majority of its athletes showed outstanding ability in certain fields, even winning coveted honors at the county meet. With these athletes and their experience of this year we expect to develop championship teams in the near future. 50 What’s Up, Doc? 4 Gay Trio 7 The Eggs and I The Fellows 5 Wolf, Wolf! 8 Freedom Train Young Chung 6 Egg Heads 9 Cog 51 1 Miss Kennedy 2 Mr. Love Joy 3 Coach O’Connor 4 Miss Chevie 5 Smith and Yengo D5 PATRONS...
