It is difficult for us to conceive of the countless plays, art classes, study halls, proms, homerooms and faculty meetings which Mrs. Charlotte B. Ranger has supervised during the past thirty-five years. To more than two generations of Attica children, you have been more than an art teacher. Words alone fail to express our appreciation for your constant patience, help and instruction. As you begin your long awaited adyenture in the world of chafing dishes, copper kettles and antique furniture, it is our wish that the cheerfulness and inspiration which you have given so freely to us will be returned to you each day. To you, with gratitude, Mrs. Charlotte B. Ranger, we dedicate the 1953 Torch. I,,,-, x I . 1 W 1 I . Y L Q Q 6 i l 3.

Certainly they have been years of change and, history may show, years of progress. It has been the aim of this school, during your stay with us, to provide a solid, permanent base upon which each of you could build the type of structure you wish to use for the next fifty years or more. This structure, like any other building, has certain essential parts. .There are at least three definite steps to its completion. The first is its design and planning, second, the actual construction and third, the evaulation of the project in terms of usefulness and beauty. The school has participated to a considerable degree in the first two parts of this program. We have tried to assist you in the planning of your lives by counsel, by example and sometimes by direct advice. We have helped, too, in the building processes. We have tried to provide the basic tools of learning and, in addition, have tried to supply a sense of values and a standard of ideals and con- duct that will lend shape and form to your individual patterns of life. It is the third part of the building plan with which you now must be con- cerned. In this area, help will not be so easily available, but the opportunities for development and expression will be many times greater. It is here that your true measure of strength and value will be determined. ' Here, then, is your pattern. We at school hope that your foundations are solid, that your designs are straight and true and that your buildings when completed, will reflect much credit to you, their builders. aaa We X953 , .geniofl PHIIHCI PAL - Mr. Peter STPVDING: Q.C1ark, Erkkila, Novak, R.Clark, Andrews, Domes S FTED: Disbrow, Seligman, King fic 4 Zalucafcdnla. MESSAGE TO THE STUDENTS OF ATTICA HIGH SCHOOL For the first time in the history of the Torch, a picture of the Board of Education is included. We, the members of the Board, are most happy to be made a part of this fine publica- tion. We feel that every student in our school can be proud to know that he is participating in one or more of the many activities depicted on the pages of this book. The Board has tried to provide good teachers and adequate materials to im- plement a complete and well-rounded program of education for all our boys and girls. Sometimes it may seem to some people that we have fallen short of achieving this end. If this is the case, the reason is certainly not the lack of interest or any desire on our part to stint our program to the detriment of any of our students. we know that many of our children must attend classes in rooms which are not as adequate as modern standards demand. we sincerely hope that steps can be taken soon to improve these conditions. we appreciate the efforts of the administration and faculty which have, we be- lieve, enabled us to carry on a good school program in spite of our handicaps. The members of the Board of Education feel confident our school will move forward into broader and brighter fields of educational endeavor. This can be done only with the full cooperation of faculty, students and parents. SUPERINTENDENT - MR. VICTOR H. BLOM ealtk -W Mrs. Corinne Henncberg and Mrs. Valeda Joyce nMay I have some graph paper?u--uPlease give me a cash box for tonightW-- Hoh, I don't feel wellin -- 'Can I help it if I forgot my dentist appointment?H These remarks and many like them are constantly being shouted or whispered in the direction of the four ladies who take care of the clerical and health needs for our school-a big job indeed! These four wonderful people are Miss Thelma Beglinger, Mrs. Manetta Gramm, Mrs. Valeda Joyce and Mrs. Corinne Henne- berg. Thelma Beglinger and Mrs. Gramm take care of the clerical work. They take care of records, keep lost and found articles, and do numerous other jobs. Besides her regular clerical work, Thelma also did the typing of this yearbook- Cthat in itself is a big job, and we wish to thank her for her untiring efforts The task of keeping the student body in good physical condition falls on the school nurse, Mrs. Joyce and the dental hygienist, Mrs. Henneberg. Mrs. Joyce takes home students who become ill, attends to physical examinations and eye examinations. Mrs. Henneberg attends to the dental health of the student body. - Mrs Manetta Gramm and Miss Thelma Beglinger M ice fa. -4 With the addition of four new teachers to rule over a new kinder- garten, sixth grade, seventh grade, and part of the physical education depart- ment, the A.H.S. faculty began its hard work for the year 1952--1953. Altogether there are forty-five teachers who over- see one thousand and nine anxious stu- dents. The faculty formed a Teachers' Association in September, and elected as officers: President--Mrs. Charlotte B. Rangerg Vice President--Miss Paula LabuzzettagSecretary--Miss Joyce Loveg Treasurer--Mr. Loren Manchester. The association meets on the second Wed- nesday of every month. we wish to thank the faculty for co-operating with us in all of our activities and guiding us through the school year. BELOW: M .

FOX BOY REPRESENTATIVE, Joseph Heller, GIRL REPRESENTATIVE, Barbara Hoagland, PRESIDENT, Patricia Shoneg SECRETARY, Monica Bauer, TREASURER, David Logelg VICE-PRESIDENT, Malcolm Bennett - Almost four years ago there occurred a frightening rush, a mad stampede, and while teachers stood back and shuddered and Seniors glared, the Class,of '53, our class, entered good old A.H.S. For our Freshman year, Mr. Walter, M . Parlato, Mrs. Ranger and Miss French endured us. That year we held a Freshman party, made about twenty-five dollars on a bake sale, participated in a musical Freshman assembly, and generally clogged up traffic in the back hall. But the worst was yet to come, for the very next September we were back as superior Sophomores to sneer at the Freshman, be frightened by Mr. O'Connor and make the other two advisors, Mr. Fortunate and Mr. Parlato, wish they had dug ditches for a living. we sponsored three bake sales that year, put on a one-act play as our Sophomore assembly, held a dance, put out three issues of the Eagle and proclaimed loudly to all who would listen Kand very few wouldj that we were the best class in EEE55l. ' As Juniors we were old hands at making money and under the direction of Mr. Hankins and Miss Love, we sold stationery, sponsored two hectic bake sales, put on that slightly zany play, nDangerous Ladies,N fed the Seniors at the Junior-Senior Banquet, and of course, held the Junior Prom. 4 By our Senior year we were not any quieter but we were much wealthier than three years before. We elected as our President, Patricia Shoneg our Veep, Malcolm Bennett, Secretary, Monnie Bauerg Treasurer, David Logelg and our girl and boy representatives, Barbara Hoagland and Joseph Heller. We sold magazines, basketball pencils, tickets to our Senior Play, nThe Pest,U and tickets to the Senior Ball, cakes to the Prison and potato chips at games, just about everything except our advisor, Mr. Fox, who was our long- suffering advisor, guided us through a bake sale also. Then we let the Juniors entertain us at the Junior- Senior Banquet, counted up our money, and went on our long awaited Senior Trip. During the year we had done a little studying, decided that the Freshmen nmmdays aren't nearly as well behaved as we were, and before we knew it someone was handing us a diploma and the underclassmen were shoving us out the door. We aren't happy to leave, for we have had some of the best times of our lives while we've been here, we think. But we leave as all Seniors eventually must, then we close the door and go out taking 16 with us memories, some sad, but mostly happy, of our four years here.

In the midst of the chaos stands Dora Lee Donoluke, editor-in-chief, at first calmly surveying the scene while measuring her thumb with artistic demeanor, then suddenly wildly gesticulating and desperately exhorting her slaves to top the 2nd place award for the past two years in the Western New York Inter- scholastic Press Association contest. Working after school and far into the night, this little band of journalists has produced our largest yearbook--80 pages of close-ups, candid shots, and pieces of artQ?J showing the school in a wider variety of activities than ever before. And all this was made possible because of the overwhelming support of the student body--over half of whom have subscribed in advance for the year- book this year. 7 irq, 51+ TOP ROW: lr.

Either they stop and ask you some dumb question in passing or they ignore you completely in their rush. They are a little bit peculiar, but they're nice kids. And what are they doing?-4Why putting out the Eagle! Members of the Journalism class with the help of students from the other classes directed the Eagle. Ann Kibbe and Ann Geise served as the harrassed editors. Mr. Fortunate was, in general, an advisor, in particular he ran the mimeograph. Mr. Abraham aided the students with typing and proofreading. Of course, everyone wanted to give up at times and, even worse, sometimes insisted in trying out some zan ideas. But somehow, Eagles always came out on schedule, just at the last minute. Remember the night the front page got lost? In the end, the staff could look back on a record of success--well, anyway, fun and frenzy galore.

The girls held their Christmas party, a representative of the Marine Trust Company visited them and all together, the club had a very successful year. The Student Council, soon after forming, set up the school calendar for 1952-1953. It is a good thing they did in the eyes of the faculty and the without it, we would not have been able to hold school for the year of 1952-1953. The students weren't as appreciative, however.

SENIOR VARSITY TOP ROW: Murphy, Eastman, Wind, Clark, Werner, Reynolds, Coach Roberts lST RO : Wagner, L.Andrews, Iyons, Novak, Bennett, Embt Ce-t Fast action, adept ball handling and un- erring accuracy-make basketball one of the most exciting of all games. The players are almost constantly in motion, making quick stops and starts, sharp changes of direction, and lightning fast passes. They must have the closest kind of teamwork. A person need watch only one game to find that a basketball court is no place for deadheads. Attica's record of winning f1ve'league games in a row is a clear indication that the Attica basketball team of 1952-53 combines some of the best playing of basketball with good sportsmanship. Teamwork is the kind of playing that gives scores like 60-hl and Sl-22. It is the kind of playing that wins the close one like S0-h9 and lx?-401. It is the kind of playing that makes champions. Jack Novak, Wayne Werner and Lee Andrews are all capable of being high scorers. Neil Eastman can pull in rebounds like picking apples and Paul Lyons can hold the opponents down to a minimum score. With a combination like this, backed by teammates who are equally skilled, Attica has taken three league championships in the last four seasons and is well on its way to another. Needless to say, a good team is not all that is necessary to have victories. Even the best team vrill lose games if the team does not have a good coach. Attica has no such worries. Under the able direction of Coach Bill Roberts Attica has, for the past four years, had teams that, win or lose, have exhibited sportsmanship that is second to none. fu new 24 'fwic TOP RUJI: Coach Panek, West, Merkle, Bissell, Hopkins, Jennings, Peck, Ju ,O V ,t Gatgen, Dempsey, Hickox nl r argl Y 1ST ROW: Guertin, Wehner, Brei, Diggins, Burg, J.Andrews, Watkins ' 1 'W charlotte sperm alfa- What would a school game be like without our cheerleaders? Like ice cream without cake. Yes, our cheerleaders are very important. They are always there, getting the support of the spectators and cheering the team on to victory. Our school is very proud of its two cheerleading squads, the Varsity and Junior Varsity, with their snappy orange and blue outfits and their clever, effective cheers. And our school has every right to be proud of these girls, for the students themselves choose them. No tired, ineffectual cheerleaders for us! Our students chose the peppiest, most agile girls from a large group of candidates who tried out at the beginning of the school year. To make sure that our cheerleaders stay as peppy and alert as they are supposed to be, they are required to try out at the beginning of each new school year.

There are seven wrestlers this season who have survived this test to win at least three matches. Carl Beck, who is well on his way to a second undefeated season, has a record of six wins and no losses. His brother Al is follow- ing in the tradition and has four wins against no defeats. Burt Fugle now has six wins and no defeats as has Ken Mooney. Jim Cochrane and Gary Wolcott both have five wins and no losses while Pat Leyden is undefeated in his first year of wrestling with a four-nothing record. The other team members are doing a fine job also, working to give the wrestling team an undefeated season. When wrestling started this year, the grapplers had to share the gym with the basketball team for their practice sessions, resulting in crowded conditions for both groups, and so the wrestlers, under the direction of Coach Bob Conk, remodeled and painted the lower gym for their use. 73 L+ 74 TOP ROW: Coach Conk, Fugle, Swartz, Jennings, Hardy, Dempsey, R.

The occasions were varied, usually anytime two or more of the girls got together. The G.A.A. had a very active year under the leadership of Coach Jean Doran. At its first meeting the organization elected its officers for the year. They were: President, Pat Wechterg Veep, Edith Youngs, Secretary, Edna Bigelow, and Treasurer, Betty Lou King. The more ambitious souls in the club wanted more to do than just participate in the ten or more sports played by the Attica High School girls. We evolved the plan of raising money, not that raising money is anything new or spectacular. The girls aided in the taking of individual pictures and the first little bit went into the treasury. After that, the G.A,A, sponsored a Sock Hop and a Bake Sale. Maybe you are wondering where the Athletic part of the club name comes into the picture: The group participated in intramural sports and in playdays with various county and area schools.
