QQ, M A 49,4 'fn To the Class of 1956: - You have dedicated your yearbook to Mr. Casey-and rightly so! For many years he was a leader in his field and in the community. His greatest ideal was that of service. He followed this ideal with undy- ing passion. To all students, especially the members of this graduating class, I rec- ommend that you gain possession of this same ideal as a guide in your lives. It will bring you many successes and much happiness Sincerely Edw R Andrews Board of Education Otto Neidlmger Pres Carl Hutchinson Kenneth Eldred Clifford White 9 Mr. Nickerson-Grade Supervisor lVlrs. Black-Office Secretary CLASS HISTORY We take you back to September 6 1950 You Are There We the Class of 56 1n order to 1nform you of our past act1v1t1es and br1ng you up to the present do thus set before you our h1story from September 1950 to June 1956 As green seventh graders and the largest class to come up from the grades we were herded 1nto two classrooms namely Mrs Cheesbros and Mrs Lords CMISS Wood thenj All th1s seemed very new to us but soon we became accustomed to passmg from room to room carry1ng our books along w1th us and see1ng more than one teacher dur1ng the day In the seventh grade we looked forward to our Coo perstown tr1p wh1ch meant as much to us then as our sen1or tr1p does now In the e1ghth grade we followed the same procedure but the old exc1tement of scrambl1ng from our seats at the r1ng1ng of the bell was almost gone because by then we were even more accustomed to the routlne of Jumor h1gh The b1g event that year was our Jaunty bumpy bus tr1p to Albany where we had the pr1v1lege of shak1ng hands Wlth former Governor Dewey It was there that Fred Drachler put an 1nnocent mckel 1nto an apple mach1ne and really h1t the jackpot for practlcally all the apples came pour mg out 1nto h1s hands It was on th1s tr1p that all we g1fIS became aware that Albany was truly the w1ndy c1ty when we saw that our dresses WCIC be1ng blown sky h1gh because of the h1gh veloclty of the preva1l1ng w1nds Dur1ng those two years we also had occa s1onal skatmg part1es The first few t1mes we went most of us were p1ck1ng ourselves up from the floor a great deal of the tlme and the skat 1ng r1nk floor was never so clean as when we finally left It to go home Our great welcome to h1gh school was the freshman 1n1t1at1on wh1ch was sprung upon us by the Jumors Th1s event lasted two endless days We were drowned 1n perfume smothered 1n cold cream and lost 1n the large s1zed clothes we had to wear After we were all settled as freshmen we then began our money mak1ng projects sell1ng magaz1nes ln the fall and re freshments at baseball games 1n the spr1ng In our sophomore year we sold refreshments at the baseball games sponsored the annual football hop sold Chrlstmas paper and tlCkCtS for a benef1t movle Durmg our freshman and sophomore years we had two teachers Mrs Hager and Mrs Crane Although they d1d the1r best they st1l1 couldnt keep the no1se down to less than a dull roar 1n our room Our Jumor year' We came back to school 1n September 1954 only to find ourselves 1n the same old xoom but Wlth d1fferent seats As the largest class 1n the school where else could they put us but 1n the b1g old study hall for the th1rd consecut1ve year Our b1ggest thr1ll was our jumor prom wh1ch we held at the beg1n n1ng of Chr1stmas vacatlon Although the prom 1tself turned out to be great fun we shall al ways remember decorat1ng the gym No one w11l ever know how we got that b1g twenty foot tree IH nor how we finally succeeded xn putt1ng all the decorat1ons on It That year we had our chance to Spflng the 1n1t1at1on on the freshmen as It had been sprung on us two years before We were more len1ent Wlth them than the Jumors were Wlth us for they had to suffer only one day As usual we had our money mak1ng projects such as sell1ng Chr1stmas cards a benefit mov1e one or two dances and sel11ng at baseball games forward to our last year our sen1or year The b1g event wh1ch we sen1ors are look1ng forward to now 1S the sen1or tr1p Everybody IS 1n a b1g frenzy at present because we have not nearly enough money to finance lt Almost everyone has been as busy as a bee try1ng to bu1ld up our treasury Our blggCSt endeavor s1nce the be g1nn1ng of school has been our sen1or play wh1ch gave us a b1g boost IH It Th1s 1nvo1ved much hard work but an unexpected amount of pleasure m1xed 1n w1th It So far we have sold statxonery had one bake sale andabenefit mov1e Wxth the basketball season here we are selllng refreshments at all the home games w1th the hope that our dCI'-lC1t w1ll d1sappear l1ke mag1c and W3ShlHgtOH w1ll become a real1ty not a dream Now that our four years are rap1dly becommg a memory we can look back upon our moments of fun and even our moments of d1scouragement Wlth the feelmng that th1s opportun1ty has been ours Everyone says that school days are the best days of your l1fe and now that the t1me IS com1ng up for us to be on our own we are greatly 1ncl1ned to bel1eve what others have told us 10 , .. 1 ' ' 7 7 7 ' ' 7 ' Y . , . 7 1 1 1 ' ' 1 , . . . .

DARWIN BETHEL BICKFORD MEL WHITFIELD Darwin proves that a tall guy can really make those legs go, when he makes out like Mel Whitfield running the mile. RICHARD EDWIN BRADSHAW ALBERT EINSTEIN What rising young scientist in our school put the spot on Miss Smith's ceiling?

I ve already been asked Want a ticket for the dance? I haven t any money Want to buy a ticket to the movies? Ive already seen it This was a common experience for all of us I dont think one member of our class will ever forget the mixed up bake sale we had Although we tried hard we just couldnt keep the orders straight Some people who ordered chocolate cakes got white ones and there were many who got two cakes while some didn t even get the one they ordered It 1 Roberta W Mrs Darling Dafwm B I 2... ar Terry H Klmetob ' Harold 30 - ! , F F , . . . - 1 I , . . . l . 1 ' . ,, gg A4 ' n cc 1 1: xc l ' ' ' n u ' x ' n u .

But didn't the seniors have fun eating the left over icing and candy! This added to the confusion. If you weren't bewildered in the beginning, you were bound to be by the time you had been helping ten minutes Everyone saw to that' Then there was all the hurry and scurry of getting ready for the big dances Everyone very faithfully helped decorate be cause it sounded like so much fun Some people helped all day and did most of the work but most everybody dropped in at least to take a look and make a suggestion as his contribution to the mess By the time the dance rolled around we were all so tired we didn t even want to hear the word dance let alone go to one Variegated colored shoes were the results of washing props for the Senior Play The props had a good washing and all the pamt was taken off The workers also got a bath and most of the color that came off the props ended up on them The shop driveway had a pretty coating of various colors too The new government was federalism What' Time for me? Oh hello Sylvia This was what the seniors went through at Senior Play re hearsals Everyone was trying to study listen for cues and his lines right at the same time Although I have shown the funny side of our four years there was a serious side and these incidents will never be forgot ten by any senior Roberta Warren L-K-if Senior Play Bev CIFTSHN' Carol R Edwin S Dawn K Ben W R Bradshaw BettyE Anneliese S NHUCY C SENIOR SURVEY Favorite Movie Star Male-Tab Hunter Tony Curtis Female-Debbie Reynolds Esther Williams Singer - Male-Eddie Fisher Nat King Cole Female-Thersa Brewer Doris Day T.V.

TA Cf at YI Pa R Fafia LP Lf YSC FD ds S mon C w R Best 4t ro C L1-I T Harvey Q 'H FOOTBALL 1955 This year, in football, we were in a different league than we have been in the past few years. This league provided much stiffer competition: therefore. we did not do as well as we did last year. We won our first three games against teams we de- feated last year, but we lost twice, and we were tied once by the new teams in the league. Our biggest game was our final one, which was against Deposit. We were ahead at half-time, but during the second half. Deposit's strength and power wore us down Next year there will be many places to fill since many of the first string players were seniors It may also be stated that we played our first four games in the rain and mud Fred Smith was elected captain for the 1956 season 72 61 Those seniors' R Collins Forward line' D Parsons T Harvey Tiredll After Deposit Game 6 B Wilcox R Butcher L Pearsall C Bugbee S Dlxson backiield' R Butcher D Parsons L Pearsall D.

Although we had eight returning lettermen from last year's Champions, we couldn't seem to win the big games. We finished the season in third place with at least one win over all the teams except Harpursville, the g'Champions. Our second meeting with Harpursville proved to be the thriller, in which we led throughout most of the game only to be overtaken in the next to the final inning. With quite a few returning lettermen back for the 1956 season, we hope to get back on top of the league.

Bainbridge tied with Afton for third place, each school having a total of fourteeen points. Mrs. Howland inspired us with a promise of candy if we at least placed third. The following day there was a candy bar waiting for each member of the track team. Barb Parker tied for third place in the high jump, jumping four feet, two inches, and she also participated in the baton relay. along with Gen Collins, Carol Russell and Audry Knapp. We placed fourth in this relay. Sharon Pollard placed third in the sixty yard dash and third in the softball throw. Bev Foster placed second in the eighty yard dash and tied for first in the broad jump, jumping fourteen feet and one inch. Audry Knapp, never having thrown the discus for practice, entered into the discus throw and amazed us all by placing fourth. Windsor placed first at the meet, with a total of eighteen points.

Harpursville really swamped us with a score of forty-two to seven. We also lost to Afton, sixteen to three, and to Windsor, fifteen to five. The glory came when we defeated Hancock, thirteen to five, and Deposit, sixteen to six. Although we didn't have a very victorious season, we en- joyed playing the games and we look forward to a better season next year. BASKETBALL-1955 lst row Cbottornj, l. to r.: S. Williams, E.

Harpursville and Windsor were unable to attend the playday. leaving only four schools to participate. We were defeated by Afton, nine to three. The Deposit-Bainbridge game was ex- citing due to the closeness of the score. We were defeated, four to three. Our final placing at the playday was third. Two all-stars were chosen from each school. The girls chosen from Bainbridge were Eleanor Kinney and Beverly Fos- ter. We are anxiously looking forward to the 1956 basketball playday and we hope to do better this year. 66 Soccer-1955 lst row fbottoml, l. to r.: D. Yaw, S. Williams, G. Collins, K. Russell, M.

Harpursville and Hancock were unable to attend the playday. For this reason two teams were selected to partici- pate from each school. There was an A team, consisting mainly of the original team picked for the playday, and a B team from each school. The teams with the corresponding letters played each other and the victories of both teams were scored together to determine the Final placing. Bainbridge A team placed first, winning all of their games. Bainbridge B team, never having practiced together, lost only the last game, putting them in second place. However, we were the first place winners of the entire volleyball playday when the scores were all totaled. Ethel Armstrong and Beverly Foster were the all-stars from the A team and June Aylesworth and Sheryl Hulbert were the all-stars from the B team. The A team is shown in the first and second rows of the volleyball picture. The B team is shown in the third and fourth rows. 1933 Basketball Team lst row fbottomj, l. to r.: Edna Shofkom, Viola Sherman, Alice Taylor, Lucretia Brown, Ellen Nymann. 2nd row: Harriet Sipple, Gladys Covey, Wilma Gustafson, Ruth Taylor, Marian Peckham. 3rd row: Gretchen Hartman, Marcello Lowry, Thena Teed, Coach Cousins. The scores and standings of this 1933 basketball team are unknown to us, but we do know that this team played regular league games as the boys do today. In 1933 girls' basketball teams took the place of today's jayvees. The more simplified girls' rules that we use today were introduced later and have been played ever since. 67 Girls' ntramural Sports BASKETBALL-1955 lst row fbottoml, l. to r.: E. Mayle, R. Toby, G.

The winners of the two games played each other to determine who would be the bas- ketball champs. In this game, the sophomores defeated the juniors, twenty-eight to seventeen.

Where the steeples rise ever upward, But the ancient trees reach higher. Look closely now That's my hometown! Look there now- See that park? There right in the center of town. The one with the fountain and old, old trees, The bandstand small and round. Where the school band played on summer eves, Where lovers strolled in years gone by. It's placed before the churches, Before the Houses of God. And it blossoms and grows, Matures and dies, Year upon year upon year. This town has brought forth many famous sons, Senators and congressmen, writers and scientists. And someday they must all return If only to weep in remembering youth. But there, there walk the unknown, The hopes of the future rest in them. The old folks, the young ones-different Yet all have in common the bond of this town. The old folks treasure the memory Of an old wooden school, their Alma Mater. Now time has wrought a fine new building With different hearts, but the same old strain- She has had a glorious history, But her glories have scarce begun! Ah yes, this spirit shall be here longer still Than any of us young today. Look there now- See those streets? How peaceful and secure! West Main Street was once a cowpath. Terrace Hill Road is really quite new. Look at the names on those street signs, Juliand, Kirby, Bixby, Evans, Named for their fathers all. See that hitching post standing yet There beside the carriage steps. What dainty feet once trod them What noble sirs reined in? Look there now- See that town? There beside the winding river, Nestled amongst the rolling hills There beneath the bluest sky, There where the sun shines brightest. Look closely now That's my hometown!

srmple annals of how a handful of courageous men and women seek mg for homes they could call the1r own on the old New York frontier changed for us thrs valley and these hlllsrdes covered wrth prlmeval forests mhabxted by anlmals wxld and v1c1ous and an aborlgmal humamty crafty and cruel mto a pleasant and fertile farm land teammg wlth act1v1ty and rndustry and the abldrng joys of a contented cultured and God lovmg c1v111za txon Human endeavor anywhere no matter how humble IS worth recordrng and for those who love Ba1nbr1dge and there are those of us who do I am sure thrs short thumb na1l sketch of the orlgm and development of the town w1ll have rnterest Untrl the close of the Revolutronary War the western hmrt of the whlte mans country ln th1s part of New York State was the Unadllla R1ver and a lrne extendlng southward from 1ts pomt of confluence w1th the Susquehanna It will thus be noted that the terrxtorj now com prlsed w1th1n the Town of Ba1nbr1dge was just west of the Llne of Property as rt was called and was the eastern hmnt of the mdefinlte ln d1an doman One hundred and seventy one years ago C1 7851 Governor George Clmton pur chased for the State of New York from the One1da and Tuscarora Indrans a cons1derable tract of land west of the l1ne of property 1n wh1ch was rncluded that area rn wh1ch we now lrve A port1on of thls land represented by what IS now the towns of Ba1nbr1dge and Afton and a small port1on of Coventry was set as1de and sur veyed as the townsh1p of Clmton The chorcest land along the r1ver banks was granted to a group of people known as Vermont Sufferers These were persons who had been dlspossessed of the1r property and otherwlse pumshed owlng to the1r unfaltermg allegrance to the govern ment of the State of New York durrng the con troversy wh1ch had exlsted between lt and the State of Vermont over a boundary dispute These Vermonters and the1r descendents played a promment part 1n the later development of the area In 1791 lt was found expedlent to make a new arrangement of this port1on of the state and at this trme a new town was created m the southern port1on of what IS now Che nango County Th1s town embraced wlthm 1ts borders portions of the present towns of Nor w1ch Oxford Guxlford Greene Coventry and all of the present towns of Ba1nbr1dge and Af ton Th1s town was g1ven the name of jerrcho by Slmeon DeWitt the Comm1ss1oner of the Land Office ln accordance w1th his 1nterest1ng desxgn to deslgnate some 250 new townships erected by Act of Legrslature rn that year by us1ng B1bl1cal and ancient hrstory place names as well as those of famous persons Remams of th1s dev1ce of the commxssxoner stxll exrst 1n such town names as Nxneveh Pharsal1a Marathon Gxlboa Smyrna C1nc1nnatus Sc1p1o Hanmbal Sparta and even Syracuse and Rome obvrously to do honor to the glory that was Greece and the grandeur that was Rome The records show that the first town meetlng of jerlcho was held at the Guthr1e tavern Apr1l IQ 1791 Phmeas Bennett of Bennettsv1lle was the first Supervxsor The 3CtlVltlCS of the 1n habltants of early Jerlcho was almost ent1rely confined to loggmg and raft1ng the logs down the r1ver to the large towns along the shores of the Chesapeake Bay from where they would walk back home In 1798 another xmportant rearrangement of th1s part of the state was made at wh1ch trme Chenango County was created and the town of Jer1cho was reduced in s1ze to the present bound ar1es of Barnbrrdge and Afton then called South jerrcho Cln 1857 South Ba1nbr1dge was separated from the present town of Ba1nbr1dge and g1ven the name of Afton J Soon after I8O0 there came to jerxcho one Freder1ck Augustus Baron deZeng a Saxon nobleman born ln Dresden who crossed to Amerxca rn command of some of the Hesslan troops ln the servxce of Great Brxtaln He ar r1ved too late to part1c1pate rn the Br1t1sh cam pargn agalnst the Colonrsts but became h1m self a v1ct1m of the conquermg fr1endl1ness of the colonlsts he had come
