Rost Mztalian lain iyioffy T IS INDEED strange to note in recalling the history of the Senior Class from its beginning in September, 1935, that out of the present class of thirty-seven students, only seven remain from the original class. A great deal has happened to make ours a well-organized and strong class. What has been another school's loss has been our gain. We are proud to recall the achievement We have made from 1935 to the present time. One morning in early September in the fall of 1935 a group of curious, wide-eyed youngsters entered the first grade room with Miss Roberts as teacher. Some of us were timid and fearful at the thought of such a strange experience, and some of our mothers even came to reassure us. For others of us it was a grand adventure. If you Want to know what that experience Was, all you have to do is ask Marjorie Backhaus, Harry Beach, Jean Horton, Helen Krause, Gale Mosher, Beatrice Teal, or Mary Teal about it. In the second grade under the guidance of Mrs. Smith, we had the opportunity to paint on the large easel and play in the sand table. Our experiences in the third grade were not so eventful, but we enjoyed the comradeship of Miss Bauer for the first few months. When she left, many of us were so saddened that We actually cried: however, we were reassured by the presence of our new teacher, Miss Bagchus. When the time came for our entrance into the fourth grade, a new arrival in the person of Dorothy Samjohn joined us. Her stay with us was short, but she returned again in the fifth grade. Miss Barker was our teacher. Her popularity was shown at recess time when all the girls flocked about her. The fifth year was quite an innovation, for then we began to under- stand that all of us were not equal. Something they called an IQ test separated the sheep from the goats. Everyone was arranged according to his intelligence. This was Mrs. Butler's plan to make us work harder so that we might be promoted to the honor seats. This year Nancy Abbott and John Dreis joined our ranks. Our greatest achievement in the sixth grade was the operetta which we presented at Christmas time, the Christmas Carol. As we look back, most of us can remember taking some part in the great production. No wonder our play was such a success, for Mrs. Beck was our able leader. Our grade decreased in number when Jean Horton left us to live in Poestenkill. We looked forward eagerly to our seventh year, for this was the time when our number was greatly increased when many boys and girls joined us from our sister school in West Sand Lake. Those Who came from West Sand Lake were Norma Bailey, Richard Clark, Arthur Fer- guson, Katherine Knapp, Rita Lesinski, Edna Malik, Rose Micalian, Clyde Rescott, Lois Rescott, Ralph Wehnau, and Nancy Widstrand. These were not all, for Helen Dziadyk, Phyllis Dixon and Thelma Olsen also 24 became members of our class. Our passing from room to room between classes caused the Seniors many worries, for they were always trying to keep us in line. Our fondest memory of eighth grade was our class day celebration: however, we were somewhat disappointed because we were not permitted to carry out a formal graduation ceremony. This year our class again increased in number when James Sprague joined our ranks. The Hrst tragedy to befall us in our Freshman year was the Freshman Initiation. It really wasn't that bad, for although we were dressed in all kinds of queer attire, we had much fun in watching other people laugh at us. Also our Freshman year made us more socially-conscious, for we presented our first dance. Our ranks were once more increased by the return of Jean Horton and the addition of Bertha Ciundrum, Elaine Mal- louk, and Ileen Wilday. Our Sophomore year gave us a chance for sweet revenge, for we were able to initiate the Freshmen, using the tactics of our upperclassmen plus some original ideas. By the time we reached the third year of high school, we felt quite grown-up, Everyone told us that it would be our most difficult year, and in many respects that proved true. East Nassau sent us Marion Ewald, Doris Jesse, Annette Luckow, and Dolores Vincent. Also James Crawford, William Snyder, and Mildred Sturgess became members of our class. We had eagerly awaited our Junior year when we would be able to select our class rings. This seemed to bind us more closely together, for we all had something in common. For many weeks we awaited their arrival and finally on the last day of school the package containing our rings came. At Christmas time we Held a joint Christmas party with the Sophomores. We presented JUNE MAD under the direction of Miss McCammon. We also held a successful June Prom. What we had been looking forward to from the first grade finally came. We were at last Seniors. This year Pat Burnett and Mary Hill joined our ranks. The Senior year was full of events with everyone, including our faculty advisor Miss Gehle, doing his utmost to promote activities which would make possible both a year-book and a New York trip. Under the able direction of Mr. McNary, we presented STAGE DOOR. No matter how much we look forward to our graduation, there is always a note of sadness, for we realize that each one will be going his separate way and there will be little opportunity to unite again as a class. Some will go on to college, but the majority will find jobs. Another cause for sadness is the fact that so many of us feel that we did not put enough into high school - at least not as much as we would like to have done. We have had a golden opportunity which we shall never again enjoy. The door has closed on one chapter of our life, but we hope that another door will open affording us broader interests and greater oppor- tunities. In the years to come, We shall cherish our yearbook, for as We open the pages, we shall see before us the familiar faces of our faculty, class oflicers, and fellow students and recall to memory our pleasant ex- periences at Central. 25 lam Wi!! E, THE CLASS of nineteen hundred and forty seven, of the Averill Park Central High School, in the County of Rensselaer and State of New York, having proved to our teachers our unsoundedness of mind, memory and understanding, do hereby make this last will and testament. We give and bequeath to the Class of 1948 our sincerity of purpose, our earnest good-will, and our dignified manner, which we, in some in- stances, have assumed. To the Sophomore Class we give and bequeath the honor of be- coming upperclassmen and trying to command the cooperation of the underclassmen.

In testimony whereof, we hereunto set our hand and seal, in the presence of the witnesses named below, this 13th day of June in the year nineteen hundred and forty seven. Witnesses: Kilroy Charlie McCarthy Mortimer Snerd 27 lam ffophecy OLLOWING our class day picnic we decided to have a theater party at the Troy Theater. It was an excellent show entitled Nostradamus and people who saw it predicted that you could really see into the future if you were in the right frame of mind. We went in as a group at seven o'clock that night and enjoyed the show immensely. l wouldn't say that we could tell what is going to happen in the future, but it did arouse our imaginations considerably. They were aroused so much, in fact, that I suggested that we go a few blocks below Congress Street on Second Street to see Troy's most famous oracle who calls herself Madam Marie. There are fakes and fakes but the predictions of Madam Marie are phenomenal. You can imagine the surprised look on Marie's face when she saw our large number, but she escorted us in. The lights were very dim and it took a while before our eyes became accustomed to the semi-darkness. There was a weird atmosphere about the place. You could feel the cold shivers on your back. You knew that something was going to happen and you wondered what it would be. You wanted to know - and yet you didn't want to know. If the future held happiness and success, you anticipated the revelation: but if it held unpleasantness, you shuddered. Madam Marie let us into the main reading room and promised that she would hold a group seance. It wasn't customary, but she thought that it might be arranged if our group would concentrate and act as one mind. We were seated on what seemed to be a bleacher some- what elevated. There in the middle of the room below us on a heavily draped table was a glistening crystal ball, quite large in proportion and shining with a peculiar light. The inside of the glass kept changing in color: cloud formations took place and as you gazed at the ball you would swear that a part of the cloud formation became alive and took on your appearance. The miniature figure would dance around and smile and chat with the other figures. Even before Madam Marie sat down to un- veil the future we knew that something startling was going to take place. We sat enraptured. The crystal ball, only fifteen inches in diameter, suddenly filled the room and we looked into our own faces. They did not seem to recognize us at all, but went on acting as if they were a separate body. Madam Marie assured us that we would be pleasantly surprised by what was going to take place and warned us that any outbreak would spoil the seance. 28 As we sat gazing at the figures before us Nancy Abbott took the forestage. She was immaculately dressed in a costume designed by Pat Burnett, New York's famous costume designer known from continent to continent and excelling the most notable Parisian designers. Nancy's tall stately figure is ideal, for there are no more short, plump women. Science has revolutionized the human figure. Her glamorous Titian hair is the envy of all the fair sex and she is a symbol of beauty. As we Watch- ed, Nancy and I visited the Cupboard Emporium, covering an acre of ground and catering to the elite of Northern New York. It has gained world-wide reputation for its French Cuisine under the direction of the white-capped chef, Jimmy Crawford, who speaks more elegant French than the French themselves, and the aroma of his cooking actually makes your mouth water. Besides the famous cooking there are most spectac- ular nightly floor shows, dazzling chorus girls, swooning crooners, and the smoothest tap dancer you've ever seen. As we were eating our entree some glamorous chorus girls glided 'across the glistening floor in perfect harmony. As we watched them go through their act we recognized Lois Rescott, Helen Dziadyk, Marion Ewald, Milly Sturgess, and Ileen Wilday in the large group of over forty. While we were waiting for our main course to be served, a brown- haired maiden came by our table calling in a lilting voice, Cigarettes, can- dy, chewing gum. The voice sounded very familiar and I asked Nancy who it was. Why, that's Nancy Widstrandf' It seemed incredible that we should meet so many of our school mates right here. But our surprises weren't ended for the next number on the program was a crooner who shadowed Bing and Frankie - Ciale The Voice Mosher accompanied by the inimitable Rita Lesinski. We had heard so much about his singing and her playing that we wondered if it were true. It was truly marvelous, but being of sterner stuff than the teen-agers, we did not so easily succumb. They made quite a scene shouting and rushing for his autograph, The enchantment of The Voice wasn't enough for the evening. We were even more spellbound by the soft shoe tap dance of Clyde Rescott who could cartwheel, backflip, and frontflip without losing time with the music. Across the room from us we heard a familiar giggle and than a shout. Hi! Marge! Hi! Nancy! Won't you join us? It was none other than Dot Casey and her husband, Frank. We joined them at their table and began to talk over old times. You can imagine our surprise when Dot told us that Phyllis Dixon and Norma Bailey were now the proprietresses of the Cupboard. After the show we rushed back to congratulate Norma and Phyllis on their Wonderful entertainment and they suggested that we hold a re- union for the members of the Class of 1947 the next evening after the 29 show. But how will we contact them? I asked. Why, that's easy, said Norma. I have all their names and addresses. They never come to the Cupboard without letting us know. Let's start phoning them right now. Aside from the ones you have met in the show, there are the mayor of West Sand Lake, Bill Snyder, and his two secretaries, Beatrice Teal and Dolly Vincent. The heads of our Public Sanitation Department are Jim Sprague and Dick Clark. I know they would be delighted to come. The head of the Child Welfare Department is Helen Krause who has gained quite a reputation in controlling juvenile delinquency. Let me see now. Doris Jesse and Edna Malik are renowned beauticians in the Dor-Ed Beauty Salon. And don't think for a minute that women are the only ones who patronize their shop, for they specialize in permanent waves for men. Their best customer is the athletic director at Central, Art Ferguson. Also on the staff of the High School are Kay Knapp, supervisor of classical languages who replaced Miss Sullivan, and Annette Luckow who has taken over Mrs. Lerch's duties in the cafeteria with Elaine Mallouk as her assistant. You see, it really won't be too diflicult to contact them all. She thumbed through her little black book trying to recall where the other members of the class were. Oh, yes, you remember Harry Beach. He is co-owner with John Dreis of the B 'Eff D Hardware Store in Averill Park. They are doing a prosperous business. Also there are Bertha Gundrum, Jean Horton, and Thelma Olsen who run the Stylist Shoppe, the swankiest tailored dress shop in this area. They can be reached easily tomorrow morning. Why you may want to go down to have a dress designed yourself, Marge. Of course, Nancy, you won't have to since Pat designs all your clothes. If we can't contact these people by phone we'll have Ralph Wehnau announce it on his radio station WSL. Possibly Rose Micalian could put in a plug for us on her program. You know she has replaced Bob Hope - - - Il I Last of all there are Mary Teal and Mary Hill, millinery experts. If you want a hat to take you out of this world, stop at their shop. Why with one of their creations on, the men don't whistle, they just gasp for breath. Now, let's look over this list again. Yes, all are accounted for. Tomorrow's the night. Class Re- union at midnight. See you all here. As we gazed upon the future anticipating our reunion, a cloud came across the crystal ball and there we were all together on the night of June 13th, 1947. We were so amazed with what we had seen that we could scarcely speak. When at last we gained enough courage to speak, we all let out at once. Could this really be true? Madam Marie assured us that it would all happen as predicted. But she warned us not to think too' ser- iously about the future, for it would all happen in due time. 30 Popularity Po!!

Stage Door, was a very wholesome plav with both sad parts and glad parts. There was the great Russian pianist, Olga, CKatherine Knappj a stu- dent of Kolaginsky: Mattie, the maid QRoberta Zweigj and her son Frank, the sweeper tGordon Chambersl. Big Marv and Little Marv Clleen Wilday and Nancy Abbottl were an excellent team. Bernice QMildred Sturgessb was always struggling to get a part. Jean Maitland tAudrey Beyerj was more fortunate in landing a contract . Madeline tPhyllis Cipperlvl didn't know whether she was coming or going. Judith, tThelma Vxfeedenl with a background of plenty of trouble family, brought plenty of laughs. As for Ann QJoan Lampertj men did not interest her. Bobby tClara Leavenworthl always had difficulty in keeping her sugarplum Sam's tflouglas Beckj necktie straight. Kay LJean Hortonl was the least fortunate of them all, her misfortune being her committing suicide. Linda QAlice McClellan! told her mother, Mrs. Shaw tLois Rescottl that bright life was the life for her. Louise QMarjorie Backhausb entered matrimony but later on returned to the gay Footlights Club . Susan fEthel Oliverl as an understudv, never got her chance. Then there was Pat tBeverly I-luntl a ballerina. Terry Randall QRita Lesinskij was torn between her love for Keith Burgess tCliff Hastingsl and the legitimate theater, The latter won and so did David Kingsley tRich- ard Clarkl. To her dad, Dr. Randall fJames Crawfordj, she was a very devoted daughter. Kendall fPhyllis Dixonj was the blue-book girl. As for Mrs. Orcutt CBetty Bennettl, she felt such deep responsibility for the behavior of her flock of beauties. Toni QMarilyn Perraultj and Ellen QElfriede Buergertj were newcomers. Jimmy lLawrence Lokerj was quite advanced, having performed Hamlet already at his age. Two important characters were Fred Hired Douglassj and Lou fNorman Waterburyj, the dinner daters. Larry Qlrwin Linkl the photographer, was an excellent ladies grouper. Last but not least is Adolf Gretzel CCharles McAllisterj not with a pretzel, but a cigar. 36 ZllfZf07 lazy Now I must open the large trunk and take out the dust-covered memories. But they haven't so much dust on them after all. Now that I think back it is still a miracle to me how successful the play turned out after the struggle Miss McCammon had with the cast: however, the cast got along well with one another. Some of our unforgetable memories are Joan and her strapless evening gown tremember the scotch tapel: Richard broke his arm shortly before the play. John's greatest moment in the play was the time he smoked that cigar. Before I finish I want to bring back the characters for a final curtain call. First of all we have Penny, Joan, who was just at that age when she noticed boys and a career. Chuck, Jim Platt, was just crazy about his glider. Mrs. Wood, Jean, was the lovable mother and the only one who understood Penny. Dr. Wood, Dick Clark. never could stand noise, especially when he was writing that important speech. Elmer. Jim Crawford, was the good soul who helped Chuck with his glider. Efiie. Rita, always got more and more people for dinner. Her slip was forever showing. Milly I.ou, Phyllis Cipperly, was just crazy about Mervyn, but alas. he did not return her love. Mervyn. Cliff Hastings, thought he never would get his girl back. Roger, Marley Messner, wasn't satisfied with one woman. Mr. I-Iarris, John Dreis, looked very official while smoking that cigar. Shirley and Ralph Wentworth, Helen Reichard and Jim Sprague, were just more people for Effie to handle. Finally we have Julie. Audrey, the girl all the boys were crazy about. Now, I shall close the curtain hoping that you have enjoyed being reminded of June Mad again. 37 mm' For the first time an all high school band has been organized. The organization started with little performing ability but much ambition. With this ambition the band will endeavor to improve well enough to enter the State Competition festival in grade two, and also to present a concert for the public in the spring.

The band is proud to have as a student con- ductor, Rita Lesinski, who led the band successfully on a few occasions.

Held in the gym, it had as its theme the Stardust Serenade . The auditorium was beautifully decorated in blue and pink with glistening silver stars. The evening Was enjoyed by many couples who danced to the music of Fred Gillespie's orchestra. The highlight of the evening came when Marion Ewald was crown- ed queen of the Prom by Joan Rymiller. 42 Vmcfiry lub Organized to promote sports and better sportmanship three years ago, this club has continued in that trend. Each year it has grown until this year it has twenty-one members. The members must earn a varsity letter and be in high school to be eligible to join. Cheerleaders who have earned a letter for cheering may also join. Veterans who earned a letter before entering service are eligible to enroll in the ranks of the club. We wish to see the club continue in its upward trend for better athletics. Rott' one: Roland Pabst, Patricia Burnett. Arthur Ferguson. Miss Iona Cole, lrwin link, .loan l.ampert, Richard Clark.

It cares for the welfare of our young people by providing varied and nourishing food. Always an assembling point, the cafeteria provides us with an opportunity to meet our fellow classmates and discuss in leisure our common interests. Our cafeteria has always been faithful in its func- tion serving us daily. Our cafeteria manager, Mrs. Lerch, with the able assistance of Mrs. McKenna and Mrs. Link. has rendered a valuable service to our school throughout the years. 51 ranch lub Le Cercle Francais was organized in November with Miss Sullivan as our advisor. We elected Richard Clark, President: Clyde Rescott, Vice-President: Peggy Ringwall, Secretary: and George Dickinson, Treas- urer. The program committee consists of George O'Keefe, Chairman: Clara Leavenworth, Ethel Oliver, and James Crawford. We have adopted a Constitution. Since our organization we have ordered pins and selected students in France with whom to correspond. As a project later on we intend to write a chain letter in French to our little foster child.

Choosing our class rings was one of the big events of our lives. After many delays they arrived in February. We held a Christmas party with the Seniors in December.
