If their basic goals are attained, the school is a successg if not it is a failure, regardless of physical beauty or modern facilities. It is very easy to be proud of Attica Central, for it is continually admired and discussed. But we, the Class of '60, are proud of Attica Central for much more important reasons. Our classmates, our faculty and the educational oppor- tunities offered us are the things we will remember on leaving. when we think back on our four years of high school preparation for work or college, we will think of Attica Central 3 but it will be of Attica Central as an institution of learning, not as an architectural masterpiece. Our school is a place of opportunity, high standards and hard work. The Class of '60 is grateful to the faculty and the administration for help- ing us to make Attica Central more than a building.

We are not the only class, by any means, to have gained from the loyal friendship, willing services, and invaluable aid of Mr. Edward Schreiber, Jr. We wish to express our sincere appreciation for the superior athletic groups which he has worked so hard to develop and maintain, but more important for the sense of sportsmanship he has instilled in our athletics. It is to Coach that we, the Senior Class of nineteen hundred and sixty, dedicate this yearbook, for now and forever. 3 Exchange Student Program DORIS BECKER MARK DA-DD Peace between nations is what the world is striving for, and the age limit in this area is not eighteen. That is for war. Now, even Juniors in High School can help in the struggle for peace. Thanks to the American Field Service, we now have a program by which one of our stu- dents can travel abroad and help promote better relations between our country and another one. LINDA IQNG This program aptly called Americans abroad, is LINDA STEPHENS new in our school this year, but so far has met with a great deal of enthusiasm. 'I'he qualifications of an applicant are these: the student must be just completing his Junior year as of summer, 1960, he must have com- pleted at least two years of a language, other than English, he must be sixteen years of age, and must have an earnest desire to promote world peace. There were eight preliminary applicants, and by means of composition judging and an inter- view by the A.F.S. Board here in Attica, that number was narrowed down to the four students pictured above. This will be a great oppotunity for the one chosen, a once-in-a-lifetzhne chance. We feel that all four candidates are excellent ones, and know that, whichever one is chosen, Attica Central, and the United States, will be correctly ORN ELLA BRHEA The American Field Service not only sends one of us abroad, it brings someone from abroad to study and live with us. 'l'his also is a new project for Attica, and it got off to a very suc- cessful start with the arrival of Miss Ornella Brega from Italy last summer. She has been liv- ing and studying with us for quite a while now, and we will be sorry to see her leave next summer. She has adapted herself well to American life and cutoms. She has taken Driver Education along with her regular subjects. Also, she has taken an active part in extra curricular activities. She is a member of the French Club, G.A.A., and a number of other school organizations. Through Miss Brega we in the school and community have learned a lot about how wonderful a student from a different land can be. we hope our future students will all be as nice as Ornella is. represented in that person. . . JANE PETRIE PATRICIA REDING MARY ELAINE NOLINAR JOAN SCHWAB Administration Located at the joining spot of the three wings of our school, the Administration Department is literally as well as really the hub of the school system. The office staff, guidance counselors, health staff, cooks, custo- dians, and actual administrators work together to keep the school running smoothly. 5 T Q59 fx , Supervising Principal 49 MR. PETER KIND Hr. King is, in addition to his duties as Supervising Principal of the Attica Central School District, also the High School Principal. This year as we moved into a new school, there were many extra and new responsibilities for him to face. It meant reorganization of the school set up, shifting a whole Junior-Senior High to a new building, collecting the grades in the Elementary Building, new bus schedules, answering end- less questions about everything. To this was added the regular work of interviewing teachers, making out schedules for students and teachers, as well as the everyday responsibilities. To all of these many demands, I-ir. King has given instantly of his time and talents. Because of his organization our school system is efficient, disciplined, alive. Students and teachers regard him with respect and affection which he, in turn, reciprocates by the confidence he shows in his teachers and his keen in- terest in the welfare of all the students. 6 Board Of Education The Board of Education of Attica Central School, composed of elected representatives from the school district, is most directly responsible for the construction of our new building. They have struggled through many long and tedious hours in order to have it open for business by last September. Among their tasks were the acceptance of contractor's bids, approving the architect's blueprints, and during the actual construction, approving the appointment of teachers for the school. From all their time spent in conference has risen the beautiful building the high school now occupies. And, although a few things remain unfinished, they can be justly proud and, we hope, compensated for all the time and energy they have given. i W ll 7 MR. V'IC'1OR H.

Mr. Vetter Mr. Balhizer Mr. Calmes Cafeteria Staff A dream come true. Thats' what the new Cafeteria facilities are to our able cafeteria staff. The crowded kitchen, equipped with inadequate untensils, has been replaced by a spacious working area containing modern, labor-saving equipment that would delight any homemaker. Although their work in preparation now may be easier, under the direction of Mrs. Disinger our cafeteria staff has now dedicated itself to the presentation of more delicious and healthful meals. We can be sure that the lumches served are carefully selected and prepared. 10 Maintenance me new school places a double strain onto the shoulders of our maintenance crew, yet their efficiency and competence have not dwindled. Always reach to open a jammed locker or clean up after a school day, the maintenance crew is a necessary part of our school system. Although seldom praised for this service, their presence is a great asset to the well-being of every occupant of the building.

How much a student learns and how well he learns it depends very much on his teachers. They can make or break a young mind. We are proud of our instructors, and so, present this spotlight of their education departments. 11 Mr. Ronald Bell Citizenship Education Miss Charlotte Brayer World Histo Mr. George O'Connor Gai W American History Mrs. Elisabeth Acker Mrs. Ruth Deci Mr. Dean Dymond CITIZENSHIP EDUCATION DEPARTMENT The study of history makes one more toler- ant, critical and aware of the influences which control man's thinking. The History Department takes the student on a historical tour into the realms of the unknown. Mr. Bell, Miss Brayer, Mr. O'Connor, and Mr. Gahn are whole-heartedly working to establish a strong background of historical knowledge into the minds of all the students. By learning of past mismes and successes we will be apt to conduct our lives in a more prudent manner. JUNIOR HIGH CITIZENSHIP EDUCATION DEPARTMENT Good citizens require a firm lmowledge of history and democractic principles and ways of life. It is here, in the Citizenship Education Department of the Junior High, that such a foundation of democratic ideals are presented. Mrs. Acker, Mrs. Deci, and Mr. Dymond realize this need for historical background and every day they strive to improve their department. 12 Mr. Robert Arnold English I Mrs. Carol Clark Emglish II Mrs. Barbara Purcell Mrs. Lois Rhebergen English IV ENGLISH L-f J ,hz English 11,111 DEPARTMENT The four teachers in our Senior High Ehglish Depart- ment cover a wide area.

Whether it is the use of good grammar, advanced vocabulary, or the vast knowledge achieved by reading, the effects of a good back- ground in English is a definite asset to every student. Mrs. Deci, Mrs. Wiecjorek, and Mr. Dymond are tirelessly attempting to mold a sound English background into the minds of each and every unior High student. Mrs. Mary Wiecjorek Mrs. Ruth Deci Mr. Dean Dymond 13 teachers, we seem to try our hardest not to show it! F l MATHEMATICS DEPARTMENT How far we have come from the 2+2-h days! Now, under the capable, chalk-stained hands of Mr. Fox and Mr. O'Connor, we are accomplishing such feats as solving equations, figuring percentages, finding the tangent of angle x, or proving that the angles of a triangle add up to 180 degrees. In the past few years we have made some changes in the terminology and subject material of our courses. What was Elementary Algebra is now Nath 9, Geometry is Math 10, Intermediate and Trigonometry have combined into Math ll, although a separate Intermediate course is offered, and Advanced Algebra and Solid Geometry have joined forces in stumping the students of Math 12. But throughout all this change, we have retained the same very good teachers to help us through the same mysterious science of mathematics. Mr. Lowell Fox Mathematics 9 Mathematics 10 Mathematics ll Mathematics 12 Nr. George O'C0l'1-KIOI' JUNIOR HIGH MATHEMATICS DEPARTMENT B X R ' P, A I ibh, these are only a few formulas which confront the Math students of Junior High. Here in the seventh and eighth grades, the rudiments of more advanced Math are supplied. Under the capable instruction of Mrs. Spohn, Mr. Novak, and Mr. Hartway, the Junior High Mathematics Department is inevitable to achieve success. Eff gt Vw J Mrs. Doris Spohn Mr. Gordon Hartway Mr. Jack Novak E if I General Mathematics Intermediate Algebra di? ,My f-of SCIENCE DEPARTMENT Did you know that sometimes 2 and l can equal 1? According to our master chemist, Mr. Taylor, this is so. Oi' course, you must under- stand that we mean molecules of hydrogen, oxygen, and water. So, Mr. Taylor is right. So is Hr. Manchester, the biologist, when he states that humans have 118 chromosomes in each body cell. Not for long, though, for biology studies now seem to show only 146. Hr. Davies is also correct when he diagrams a water purification system, or the like, in his position of general scientist. Our Science teachers are pretty dependable in their knowledge of their subject. They can get it across to us even better, too, with the new, more adequate equipment in the science suite of rooms. Yes, they have benefited greatly in the new school. JUNIOR HIGH SCIENCE DEPARTMENT In an age when scientific developments are constantly changing the world, what better place is their to originate the future scientists then in Attica's Junior High Science Department? MI'- Dumke, Mr. Hartway, and Hr. Novak have accepted the challenge hurled at them, and are working incessantly to develop a greater interest and lmow- ledge in Science among the seventh and elghth grade students. who knows, another Einstein or Darwin may be the product of the Junior High Science Deparhnent I Mr. Edris Davies General Science Hr.

In all their isolated, sound-proof rooms they can play and sing to their heart's content. They do, tool Mr. Geise, the choral director, directs both Girl's and Mixed Choruses, and they are very good, as their concerts have proven. The Band also has shown itself worthy of praise. Mrs. Snith does a grand job of keeping them in practice, time, and tune. LANGUAGE DEPARTMENT Echoing dorm the corridor is the chant... do, das, dat, damus, datus, dant. Mingled in is the phrase. ..Comment allez-vous? Yes, Latin and French classes are in session. Miss French will soon begin the Gaulic wars, while, across the hall Mrs. Clark is going over an oral report on Genevieve, the Patron Saint of Paris. Both of the subjects are very well taught, and if we can learn them well, we will have gain- ed a great deal that will help us for years to come for Latin and French are the basic languages of our own and many others. Also, the study habits picked up during these three or four years will surely help us in our future studies. x hwy .5 Mrs. Genevieve Smith Band Mr. Richard Geise Junior High Music Chorus 16 L I Mr. Ronald Bell Business Arithmetic Mr. Edris Davies Business Arithmetic COMMERCIAL DEPARTMENT Typing, filing, bookkeeping--these are but a few of the skills that can be acquired through the Comercial Departnent. For years this department has put in a whole-hearted effort to turn out good business men and women. Under the direction of Mr. Kirchner, Mrs. Alvut, Mr. Bell, and Mr. Davies, students pursuing the business life are skillfully prepared to meet the trials of their career. DRIVER EDUCATION DEPARTMENT Mr. Boeff must have good nerves to 1855 year after year, through new, inexperienced drivers. He has proven to be strong and Steafbf through the time he has been with us. He is also in charge of a driver education class during summer vacation.

Especially those poor Agricultural students who have to hike from the very end of the noisy wing. We don't hear any complaining though. Must be the nice facili- ties they have compensate for the long walks. This year, besides their classroom, they have a shop to work in. Large overhead doors were installed so they could bring their machinery right inside the building to work on it. Mr. Maoomber and the future Agriculture men really have it pretty good! 18 ART DEPARTMENT Down the Junior High wing, the door next to the middle bus loop entrance, is the room in which the many artistic features of our school are hatched. It's the Art room, presided over by Miss Oaks. It is she who instructs the students in the ways of the artistic, and helps them work out the ideas that they have. Besides all this, she and her helpers have charge of the display cases, the Nativity scene, and the gif' 5 cafeteria decorations. The Art room is only a single room, but it keeps the whole school beautiful. HOME ECONOMICS DEPARTMENT Another feature of this new building is the Home Economics Suite. This section is complete with kitchen, sewing room, and laundry room, all that Mrs. Bottone needs to prepare her students for their future life as homemakers. Already she has supervised her girls as they put on a tea for the faculty. Besides show- ing how well they can do in the kitchen, they had a good chance to show off the kitchen itself, as well as the other rooms. They have reason to be proud. 19 .L .A INDUSTRIAL ARTS DEPARTMENT Our new building was built for utility, as well as books. You can see this when you study the floor plan. You will notice that three rain wings extend off the lobby. These are the Senior High wing, the Junior High wing, and the Noisy wing. In this last one are found, of course, the noisy activities: music, physical education, agriculture, and industrial arts. In the shop have been placed lathes, sanders, and all types of saws, all for the benefit of those who are adept in making things with tools and their hands This is Mr. Frank's domain. Here he brings out the talents of his students, and shows how these talents may be used. Also this year, Mr. Frank has been working on the finishing of the case for the electronic organ which was bought with the proceeds of the Organ Ftmd. It will be a beautiful addition to the auditorium. LIBRARY DEPARTMENT This year it is not uncoxmnon to see Mrs. I-iartle running around in an apron. She has good reason to. In the Library is a place where she can really do a good repair job on damaged books. The Library has many new features. The books are the same but oh, the surroundings are so different! There are big tables, little tables, round tables, comfortable chairs, and noiseless cork floors. The Library is really the quiet room of the school, kept expressly for reading and doing reference work. 20 Miss Mary Lou Wolfley, Girl's Physical Education. Mr. Edward Schreiber, Jr., Boy's.Phvs1cal Education Mr. Raymond Southard, Boy's PfLVS1C31 Edllcaf-1011 PHYSICAL EDUCATION DEPARTMENT Showers!!! The battle cry of Coach rings out and echoes among the rafters of the huge, new gym, as the students drop the basket- balls and race for the locker room. The Physical Education teachers won a long, hard battle this year when we moved into the new school. Now we don't have to go 'tn our next class dripping sweat. Now its a oool, clean athlete who emerges from the locker room after class. Also this year we have, added to the previous teacher squad, a Girl 's Physical Educa- tion teacher. Miss Wolfley's arrival has changed a lot of things. The gir1's locker room is now supervised, and we modest girls are now at ease in a gym suit. The boys are still in the capable hands of Mr. Schreiber and Mr. Southard, and even Mr. Davies got in the act during the football season. Our Athletics Department is now most complete and adequate for the times. , X! SCHOOL TOUR It may be that you haven't been through the new school building. If not, just follow us. We are looking through the eyes of a new freshmen and seeing what he would see when he enters the building. Perhaps to follow us better you could refer to the floor plan featured between the end pages. Happy touring! As we enter the building, coming through one of the six front doors, we enter the lobby. After removing our boots, which is a prime requisite for anyone entering the building, we are ready for our tour. To our right we see the cafeteria, and across the lobby are the doors to the auditorium. But we will see these all in good time, so we continue to our left, and turn down the Senior high wing. We pass, in order, the Library Work Room, the General Office, the Principal's Office, the main Library doors, and the Health and Guidance Center. Then, after the Conference Room and rest rooms, begins a line of about eleven classrooms of the Senior high. In them are taught subjects like history, math, languages, business, and Ehglish. The walls are completely lined with the metal combination lockers in which students keep their books a.nd coats. Retracing our steps and turning left again when we reach the lobby, we enter the Junior high wing and pass a few storage rooms, the Women's room and the Women's Physical Education Office before reaching the actual classrooms. The next three rooms to the left make up the homemaking suite. It includes a laundry, sewing room, and fully equiped kitchen. The, before reaching the first exits on this wing, we pass the Art room and mre rest- rooms. In the line of Juni-or high homerooms and classrooms which take up the wing from here east, we find the Science suite. In these three rooms all the science classes are conducted. They are equipped with lab stations, gas chemicals, and enough other scientific equipment to keep the students happy for quite a while. Returning to the lobby, we again are directed to the left, and walk down a seemingly empty corridor. In actuality it runs down between the gymnasium and auditorium and leads to the noisy wingau There are two doors into the gym, one into the auditorium, one onto the stage, and more small storage rooms. At the next corner we turn right again, and enter the wing which began as an idea in the architects head, was carried out by the con- tractors, and is now proving its usefulness. This is, as is stated above, the noisy wing. It houses all the machines, Physical Education Department, and Agricultural Department and Music Department, and keeps them separarted from the classrooms and areas in which studying is going on. The boiler rooms and janitor's room is back here, as are the Industrial Shop, all the music rooms, and the gymna- sium. The whole set up is proving to be a very successful one. Now we re-enter the lobby and begin the last leg of our tour, which includes the auditorium and the kitchen. The auditorium is beautiful with its persimmon front drapes, many backdrops on stage, its stylish yet acoustically perfect interior, and rows upon rows of blue seats. The kitchen is the pride and joy of our cooks, with all its different machines and facilities for preparing our meals. This brings us back to the front door, where we replace our boots and step outside, where we can get a look at the building as a whole. It was built for efficient education, and that is exactly what it is being used for. 22 Class Cf 1960 Standing at the doorway to the world, the Seniors will soon find themselves taking up their caps and gowns, and then lgying them aside to take their positions in the world beyond high school. Luck to them, as they near the end of one career, and start another. 23 P R I N C I P A L'S M E S S A G E Now that the new high school building program has been completed and new, modern facilities are available for the grades seven through twelve, our thoughts are directed to the improvement of the quality of our school programs. Students are aware, in an increasing degree, that several different programs are availakle for study in a school of today. These offerings are made available to satisfy the needs of students who have different abilities, opportunities, and objectives. It is our purpose at Attica, to develop the kinds of programs that will offer an opportunity for a student to do the best work of which he is capable in the field of study that he may choose. For that reason, the new building has provided teaching rooms and laboratories for the academic subjects and special rooms for com ercial subjects, vocational agriculture and homemaking, and industrial arts. Our plans, during the next few years, will be aimed at the improvement of the quality of instruction in each of these areas. ' The requirements for graduation have been increased to 18 units, effective for the class of 1961. We plan to utilize this new requirement by increasing our course offerings in mathematics, foreign languages, history, and science courses. Thus, we will be able to meet this new demand and, at the same time, provide for our students, a wider range of subjects and a deeper experience in the various courses.

After twelve long years of study and hard work, Senior Class Histor we have finally reached the summit of our high school lives. All of the days throughout our school years have had memorable moments, but not so many as have been acquired in this, our Senior year. The life of a Senior is one filled with events that never occurred previously. In no other class were we confronted with the idea of selling magazines. Up to now, who worried about gathering up enough pennies and nickels to pay for graduation invitations? In fact, who worried about graduation at all? As the days of our high school life are dwindling down, the problems of our Senior trip hang over our heads. We are positive, however, that the enjoyment derived from the trip will greatly outweigh the hardships. The Senior party was nothing short of a success. Enchant- ment and excitement filled our hearts as we danced amid the decorations at our Senior Ball. Cindy was radiant as the Queen! We cannot look at our Senior year as filled only with unusual ex- periences in the extra-curricular activities. We can match any of these with encounters in our scholastic endeavors. Advanced Algebra! There's a problem in amrbody's book. In English we met the challenge hurled at us in A Tale of Two Cities. Our conquering of Plwsics problems ought to qualify us as the scientists of tomorrow. No one can deny, that the daily experiences of we Seniors are comparable to any that we've fared before. Versatility! Our class excels in that field. The personal attributes of the members all add up a many-sided membership. In scholastic aspects we have evidence to prove that we are among the best. The awarding of National Merit Certificates to three of our class, Mary Brei, Thomas Disinger, and Sarah Given, places our class high in respect to the whole country. The Class of 1960 has brains, too, as will be seen in the results of the New York State Scholarship Test. Our scholastic endeavors reach to the realms of oratory. Donald Taylor very capably represented our class in the American Legion Oratory Contest. To be sure we are all very proud of the good showing made by Donald. Do you think we are all study? No, is the answer. 'lwo of our members, Patricia Romesser and Janet Sondericker have showed excellent abilities in the culinary arts. It is indeed a pleasure to bite into a pie made by these girls. We're musically inclined, too. Four of us went to the State liusical Festival and a large percentage of us are in Band and Chorus. We are now preparing to leave Attica Central behind us. But we can never leave behind the memories of the good and bad, happy and sad, through all the wonderful experiences we have shared here together as the Class of nineteen hundred and sixty. 38 XX X 'SAN X ax s Vg . 1-.A ,- - RN ,V -Q a s-1 XR ef wi X 'S H aa xi X ii had s X fa s is ,Q sag!

Each speech dealt with the Constitution of the United States, stressing the rights and responsibilities of citizenship. In our school competition, Donald Taylor won first prize and Sarah Given, second. The county contest was also held :Ln Attica and Donald was judged first again. We wish him luck as he continues in his quest for top place again and again. we know that he is good enough to con- tinue to win, but, if he is topped, will accept it gracefully and be all the better for it. He is representing Attica Central well, and we certainly hope that he may continue. Shirley Perl s Q .. . 3 A rf 1- 5 Tom Di singer Terry Meyers Beverly Merkle Jim Laughlin ho Dawn Slocum .

These are the classes of Attica Central. 1:3 Class Cf 1961 Eric Steinbaugh, Boy Representative Mary Jane Petrie, Secretary Nancy Schum, Treasurer Sharon Stone, Girl Representative Lynda Stephens, President Elaine Molinari, Vice President In their Freshmen year, the Juniors elected Elaine Molinari as their President. Their Sophomore year was started right when they elected Lynda Stephens as their , President. Their Junior year saw a repeat as they elected Lynda Stephens once more as their President. Their first big event this year was when they received their class rings. These rings were still exciting to receive even though they were very similar to those received by the Juniors last year. This was the second year in which the Junior Class Rings were made standard. The Juniors are planning to have their s Prom in the Spring because the Seniors chose to have their Ball in December this year.

Win or lose, the boys on the team as-me Basketball can be assured that they have the high esteem of the entire student body. 1- 72 ' KNEELING: Belanger, Bauer STANDING: C h Dymond, oac Bliss, Diggins, Beglinger, Schwab, Dun, Janes, Herrington, Bey, McJury, Polley, Andrews , Domes, Healy I N Qfilfff WW Ji N1 X5A1+ QQ ,bm Qgvgjx f Q . 1- HQSW , x, xgvfkwhdf xv ffw' Viv gwwkfwf V 73 FRONT: Wheeler, Plowe KI-IEELING: Coach Southard, Nerkle, Wrestling If you stay after school someday you are very likely to hear, echoing down the corridor, the pounding of size 'ben or eleven feet. Yes, its our wrestling squad, out for their daily romp. But they do much more than run around. They really work out, at practice and at their matches. We have a good squad of energetic boys who really want to win, who know how to win, thanks to Coach Southard, and who can win! ef.

Coach Schreiber coaches our long- legged, long-winded runners to keep going. And they do! In practice they run UPVOW11, d0W11'wwn, around town, all over. Cross Country is an endurance test, and our boys have what it takes. High jump, broad jump, shot put, and hundred yard dash are only a few of the terms used and tasks accomplished by a track team, ours especially. The boys jump and sprint around like a brood of young jack rabbits, each one really trying to beat the other, and themselves, at every leap. The more active they are on the field, the more we like it!

It's a pleasure to see those pins fly! Interest in Boys Bowling has greatly :l.n- creased this year. The boys' enthusiasm is displayed not only in participation in this sport, but in their scores as well. The aims of the Girl's Athletic Association are to develop abilities and interests in girl's sports at Attica Central. Under the capable quidance of Miss Mary Lou Wolfley, a varied and wholesome sports program prevailed throughout the year. Large numbers of girls participated in basketball, volleyball, and other activities which were not only healthful but very enjoyable.
