ffiB c ass of 9964 PROUDLY PRESENTS An old man going a lone highway, Came, at the evening cold and gray, To a chasm vast and deep and wide. The old man crossed in the twilight dim, The sullen stream had no fear for him; But he turned when safe on the other side And built a bridge to span the tide. —Anon. In our senior year at Beacon High School we found ourselves in the rapidly changing environment encompassing this area. Beacon now has its steel and concrete bridge; we have been building an intan- gible one. Our span from childhood to adulthood is nearing completion, and we are approaching our goals of maturity and responsibility. We leave behind our high school years and prepare to cross the bridge and confront the problems of our maturity. After years of limitations imposed by the necessities of school life and years of immaturity, we are anxious to exercise the freedoms we have learned about. How enduring this span is to be depends mainly on our own strength. We believe our adulthood will include work on spans other than those of individual successes. Our heritage of social responsibility im- parted to us in our school life w;ll be strong enough to ensure our work in strengthening the bonds of mankind. Freedom is the power to do, say and think as one pleases; it is liberty, the right of enjoying all privi- leges of citizenship and membership. In our world today these ideas must be practiced: freedom to choose leaders for government and free- dom to eat at a restaurant of one’s choice. Our heritage links freedom with equality. The Span is dedicated to freedom for everyone. We believe we are working on a major goal of the late President Ken- nedy, because we want freedom to be a habit, not a costly luxury. May God grant this! I have had playmates, I have had companions. In my days of childhood, in my joyful school days. All, all are gone, the old familiar faces.

Her intelligence, diligence, dependability, and good character have won for her the respect and admiration of all who know her. A complete sincerity, genuine niceness, and natural enthusiasm are com- ponets of her truly refreshing personality. Margaret is certainly the stuff success is made of. BETTY JEAN OLIVER Our southern belle has apparently lost none of that confederate charm and graciousness for which the land of magnolias is known. Perfectly typed as “Emily”, Betty won our hearts with her pure simplicity and naivete in the Dramatics Council's presentation of Our Town. In addition to her acting ability, Betty has been a member of the Student Council, participated in the science fair, and has aided Mrs. Pohill in the library. ROBERT OST Bob Ost is a hunting fan.

He has taken the college entrance course, and his ambition is a career in the Marine Corps. MAUREEN O’SULLIVAN “My one and only desire is to get out of school.” This is Renie’s ambition. Maureen likes to eat Italian food, especially pizza, as this is the only way she forgets her homework and that the next day is a school day. Maureen has been taking a business, home economics course. ERNEST L. OVERBEY This gay, witty guy is always in one play or another. His main ambition is to leave Beacon. Why, we cannot understand. His likes are N.Y.C. and bowling. He likes to give Mr. Tag a hard time by always reading, rather than listening in his class. Ernie is taking the college entrance course to become an even greater guy.

Ralph has taken a com- mercial bookkeeping course so that someday he will be able to become a certified public accountant. WILLIAM R. PHILLIPS Bill Phillips has spent much time at school searching for the key, not to knowledge, but to the playboy club where he aspired to membership. In order to have some recourse in case his search fails him he has taken the business industrial course at school. Bill spends his spare time hiking or swimming. His most prominent like is girls (natch) and his most avid hatred, cats. RICHARD PIETROGALLO ‘‘Rich’s ambition is to be a big businessman one day.

SUE ANN RAVESI Sue Ann Ravesi, fun-loving frolicsome assistant director to Mr. Laing, has proven herself very capable in many other activities besides dramatics. Re- member the phrase “respectfully submitted.” Sue Ann was our secretary of the junior class. It seems other groups have laid claim to her secretarial prowess, mainly the Future Secretaries Club and the F.H.A. ANDREA RENOVITCH Dora wishes to take all the knowledge attained in the college entrance course at Beacon High to South America, where she will be a doctor.

These interests have led him naturally to participation in the Varsity Club in addition to the Key Club. GALE ROGERS Who is the one and only person in the world who could give dancing lessons to an elephant? “Charlie” Gale Rogers. Gale, illustrious member of the BJM Fan Club, has taken a college entrance course along with several years of teaching dancing. Among her activities have been student council and band. MARILYN ROSENSTREICH Marilyn is a misfit of society. She is one of those types who has the mental integrity to look at our glorious bit of conformity realistically. Her indomnit- able optimism and her desire to become a useful member of society has made her a very active member in all the organizations to which she be- longs. She has been a member of the Honor Society for 3 years, serving this year as secretary. Her activities in the French Club and Science Seminar have given her a varied and exciting personality. RALPH ROSMILSO This happy, carefree athlete lists as his only ambition to own a Corvette. “Buzzy” has been active in football, picking up all DCSL honors in his junior and senior year.

Her main dislikes are American history, conceited people and flirts, especially the ones interested in her boyfriend. She has worked dili- gently on the Beacon Echo while taking a commercial course. ELAINE RUSSETT At first glance Elaine would appear to be a blur of activities, but a closer inspection reveals satisfactory completion of every endeavor. A talented thespian, she turns into a secretary at the words, “abracadabra, student council”. She is also the photography editor of that noble enterprise, the Span, which she works on in between cheerleeading practices. JOSEPH SACCA One of the most devoted members of the Society of Cold Pizza Haters, Inc. is Butch Sacca. Butch aspires to reach the depths by scuba- diving.

She has been a member of the Chorus, Dramatics Club, Dramatics Council, F.H.A., and has also been outstanding in several school plays. She is taking a commercial course. DONNA L. SCOBA “Say rah, rah, rah! Yea team!’’ Hearing this yell, one looks out on the floor and sees Donna. She is a cute cheerleader with lots of pep. Donna's only weakness is that she loves to buy shoes. If you ever are with Donna passing a shoe store, pull her away or Donna will have herself a new pair of shoes. Here is truly a sweet and well-liked girl with a sparkling personality. MIKE SEDORE Mike, a true admirer of money, sports, and cars, has a desire of sometime being a millionaire. He has a dislike for cheap people, conceited people, and history. Mike has excelled at the sports he has participated in, such as cross country and track. He has broken many records in these sports, while taking part in a business course at Beacon High. JANET SHIVELY Highly intelligent, individualistic, completely natural—these are a few of the adjectives for Janet. An analytic mind, coupled with a romantic heart, has made her sympathetic toward Keats and Yeats, critical toward Chaucer and Pope, and searching with Salinger and Golding. It has given her the under- standing and vocabulary that has made her one of the best writers of our class. These past four years have marked the commencement of that great adventure, life. JASPER SHUPE III Though quick-witted and friendly, Bud, at heart, is a dependable and highly intelligent boy. Though popular in all activities, shown by his election as student council treasurer and president of the Key Club, Bud still continues to keep his good marks. He was one of the recipients of NMSQT letters of commendation. With his record, Bud will certainly succeed in any pro- fession. DON SIEBERT “Sieb” has certain traits which make him outstanding in all he attempts. His ambition is to be successful, and no doubt he will. One of his annoying characteristics is teasing helpless females. All in all. Donnie is a great guy and handles his tasks well. He has participated in band, chorus, student council, and is now president of the senior class. MICHAEL ANTHONY SINNO We need not worry about our monetary problems in the future, as we are fortunate in having Mike Sinno entering the accounting racket. Mike, who works well with figures, has spent six hours a day in the business-industrial department of the school. He spends the remaining 18 hours fishing, camp- ing, woodworking, or metalworking. JAMES SKLENAR One of the most avid conceited-girl haters in our senior class is “Skinny” Sklenar. To get revenge on these girls Skinny is going to become a state trooper, specializing in women drivers. Here at school, Jim has spent his time on a business course. His leisure time activities include J.V. football and baseball, as well as active participation in a drum corps. HENRY SMALL Our class flirt, Henry, has a habit of giving his lunch to Den Farley, watch- ing “Saturday Night at the Movies”, and getting into trouble in study hall. Henry, who is taking a college entrance course, has an ambition to be a professor—at Vassar, of course. He has been in the band and orchestra for four years, class treasurer as a sophomore, and also has been in the chorus. ELLA MAE STANTON “Ellie” has taken a business course so that she might be able to drum up enough money to take a trip to California. Ella likes a certain bus driv- er while disliking all oral reports and homework. She has been active in F.H.A. ANN KATHRYN STECHER This friendly, thoughtful girl has taken a college entrance course so she'll be prepared to marry Frank when she leaves school and have a great big family. Anne likes weekends and the Marines while harboring a dislike for homework, rain, and quiet study halls. She has been active in the Bowling Club, Future Nurses Club, and the Beacon Echo staff. LINDA CAROLE STEHR The game is tense, score tied, and George is at the foul line. From the first row of the bleachers comes an ear-splitting yell. The ball goes through and “Star” has saved another game. Star, otherwise known as Linda Stehr, has not restricted herself to cheerleading. She had also been in the National Honor Society, is currently literary editor for the yearbook and vice president of the senior class. Her many activities have not interfered with her academic endeavors to pursue a college education. Linda dislikes being teased and saying goodbye. ROBERT STELLACCIO “Chip Stellaccio has been characterized (by himself) as tall, dark, hand- some, with pants that are too big around the waist and constantly in need of a shave. His big ambition in life is to confound the motor vehicle bureau and turn into a safe driver. When he is not out practicing driving, he takes the technical course with a strong emphasis on physics. RICHARD STEVENS What is a Richard Stevens doll? You wind it up and it flies like Superman, walks like Mr. Winterbottom, or recites a Bullwinkle J. Moose poem. Yes, if ever there was a class clown, it's Rich. But under this guise of nonsense lies some really great potential. Richard is very good scholastically, almost hitting the genius mark in mathematics. Also, he has a great flair for writing. After all, who it is that we ask to do our skits for parties and dances? It’s Rich. Yes, here truly is a boy who’s going places. CURT STEWART One of our most illustrious athletes is Curt Stewart. Curt has been active on the football, baseball, and basketball teams and has shown himself pro- ficient in all three. Academically, he has been with the business administra- tion course. This shining patriot lists as his main ambition leaving the country. KURT STROLIS A somewhat shy and conservative manner camouflages a truly fun-loving and adventurous personality. A fast pitcher, Kurt has been with the Beacon High varsity baseball squad since he was a freshman. DON TARQUINI If you hear a laugh you may turn around to see who it was. If “Tar” is in your class it is useless to turn around for you know before who it might be. Tar has a great sense of humor and makes everyone laugh wherever he goes. His idea of wearing sweat shirts inside out is amusing as is his slightly eccentric way of proving individuality. CARTER THOMAS This easy going student at Beacon High School has decided that he will be a paratrooper someday. Carter likes food, cars, and girls and dislikes clean- ing up his room. Carter has been active in wrestling when not working hard at his business course. KAREN TIEDER A nurse who wears blue jeans, lives in N.Y.C., and prescribes com chips is the description of the future Karen Tieder, R.N. Never at a loss for words, Karen shies from conceited people and shoes. A turncoat, it would seem, Karen has given up her acknowledged Johnny Mathis Fan Club for member- ship in the B.J.M. Fan Club. She has proved herself an invaluable aid in the nurse's office as well as a member in good standing of the Future Nurses Club. ELAINE JEANETTE TOMLINS Elaine likes animals and boys. She has taken a business course, so that one day she will marry a vet and become his assistant. Though quiet and reserved, Elaine has a great interest in bowling and horseback riding, and upon a few words of subtle persuasion she will quickly drop her history book and take up these things without much ado. % GARY TRIOLO Gary, sometimes called “Pierre”, hopes to make St. Petersburgh by 1967 and to replace Ed Sullivan. This friendly boy likes cars, red sports jackets, and North Carolina and dislikes school and Beacon. He has been active through- out school in baseball, band, and on the Beacon Echo staff. Gary has taken a college entrance course. MICHAEL J. TROJAN Who would want to be the doorman of King Saud's harem? Mike Trojan, who else?

SHIRLEY VALLO “ShiiT is equally adept on both sides of the footlights. Her excellent per- formance backstage is matched only by the naturalness and style with which she portrays her characters on stage. Shirley, a great sports lover, has been a member of the basketball team, baseball team, tennis club, and leaders club. In addition to these she has the marked qualities of a future home- maker, serving as historian for that organization this year. MARGARET VAN TASSELL A vehement dislike of American history has contributed in making Peggy a confirmed school hater. “Red” has taken the college entrance course since coming to Beacon High from Lourdes. LAURA ALTA WERBER The cute blond in the sharp outfit is Laurie Werber, future kindergarten teacher. Laurie, one of the “Big 3 , adores West Point weekends and dis- likes rude people, rainy weather, and oral reports. Laurie has played flute in the band for four years, been a member of National Honor Society, French Club, BJM Fan Club, and a student council alternate for two years. She’s been following a college entrance course. ELLEN WEISSMAN This vivacious, friendly girl, part of the “Big 3”, sits in the front of our class meetings, busily taking the notes so that we can refer to the ups and downs of them at future meetings. While waiting to spend her Christmas holidays at West Point, Ellen spends her spare time at Band, Debate Club, or French Club. This future French teacher has taken a college entrance course. DAWN WILLIAMS Dawn is well prepared to be a successful housewife and mother. She has been majoring in home economics and is helpful and considerate. Dawn likes Mike and having fun. In her spare time she enjoys dancing and painting. History and teasing boys are an anathema to Dawn. Business has been Dawn’s major. MARGARET MARY WOOD Maggie’s” ambition is to be a secretary in preparation for which she is taking the business secretarial course. Her pet peeves are washing dishes and conceited people. Whenever she can she gets away from these she either listens to records or goes ice skating. SARAH JANE ZEITLER What would you like, please? These are familiar words to all who know Sarah. In addition to her many activities, she finds time to help faithfully, each and every day, in the lunch room. Sarah enjoys a variety of sports, in- cluding softball, basketball, swimming, and volleyball. She has also been a member of the Future Nurses Club, Art Club, has participated in the science fair, and has been an aide in the library. EDWARD ZWINSCHER The excitement builds, the basketball score stands at 52 to 50, our oppon- ent's favor with but 3 minutes left to play. Coach Winterbottom calls to “Swani”, known to others as Ed Zwinscher, to go in and save the game. Ed is the kind of boy one can depend on to play his very best when in a tough spot. Ed is dependable in other ways, too, which is shown by his good marks, by his management of varsity club, and by his being picked as the most valuable player at the Oneonta Tournament. ALICE HOFFART If anyone needs help with his psychoses, Alice Hoffart will be glad for any practice to help her towards becoming a psychologist. In preparation she has taken a college entrance course. She enjoys piano playing and reading. KATHLEEN KEATING Kathie, a quiet girl, likes English, the Navy, and children. While disliking math and the army, Kathie’s interests are turned toward sewing, cooking, and Andy Williams. She plans someday to become a technician. She is a member of the Beacon Echo Staff and is taking a college entrance course. DANIEL YANARELLA A strong dislike of Mondays, homework, and history tend to make Danny interested in Florida and weekends. He has participated in freshman basket- ball, J.V. football, and in track. His only ambition is to pole vault 17 feet in the course of his life. Danny has taken the industrial course at Beacon High. DIANE YANARELLA One of the most talented members of the Class of ’64 is our Diane. Adept with almost any instrument, Diane has proven herself a worthy participant in other fields, also. In a mood of nostalgia we can remember those hectic and sometimes unruly class meetings at which Diane presided. From class presi- dent, she graduated to a broader area of school service, that of secretary of the Student Council. The students have not been the only ones to recognize her achievements, for she was chosen to represent Beacon High in a good- citizens contest sponsored by the Daughters of the American Revolution.

At home the following Saturday Beacon met Our Lady of Lourde’s scrap- py Warriors in their first year of varsity football and proved, 44 to 0, the value of experience as Curt Stewart and Murray Milligan shone. On the road the next week Beacon met the plucky Admirals at Arlington and won a hard-fought game, 13 to 7. On October 12 they returned home to lock jaws on the Wappingers In- dians before a huge crowd. In spite of the neighboring school district’s mammoth size the Indians proved a friendly and tame band, and quarter- back Dave Mason mixed aerial and ground plays with ease in piling up a 28 to 0 tally. A confident Beacon team journeyed to Hyde Park on October 19 to tangle with the Presidents and were surprised to find themselves on the short end of a near upset. But they fought back late in the game and were able to tie the score at 21 to 21 and remain undefeated; the perfect season was lost. Lost too, were the services of Paul Stella, a two-way standout, who suffered a fractured arm. For their last ferry ride, October 26, the Bulldogs went to meet New- burgh Free Academy. The highly touted Goldbacks proved fast and hard- hitting, and, although Beacon played a tough game, Newburgh was able to take advantage of the few breaks offered by Beacon. The result was our first loss, 13 to 6. Some people will remember November 2, 1963, as the day the new bridge opened, but to a good number of hardy fans who traveled to Pough- keepsie on that rainy, windy day, it will always be the day we beat Poug- keepsie. The Bulldogs, down 0 to 6 at half, came alive and controlled the ball without two backfield regulars, Stella and Milligan. Outstanding were Farley and Stewart, and a touchdown in the waning minutes clinched the victory at 12 to 6. Following this solid victory Beacon began to prepare for the game we had been waiting for. Four years ago Saugerties began its 31 game winning streak by beating Beacon. Beacon now felt ready to end it. The seasoned, well-drilled, hard-hitting Saugerties team got off to a 13 to 0 lead. Then Beacon stiffened and a tough line, lead by co-captains Johnson and Rosmilso, showed that the machine had met its match in guts and de- sire. The Sawyers were held scoreless in the second half as Beacon com- pletely dominated the field. Two heartbreaking drives fell short by inches, the score remained 13 to 0, but everyone knew Saugerties had met its match. The season was a pronounced success. In their second year Coaches An- derson and McCabe, with an inexperienced squad, fielded a team capable of beating any team it met. As team and school spirit continue to grow, we look forward to many years of good football here in Beacon.

Their re- cord, 2-4-1, was impressive because of the number of inexperi- enced players. During the season the team played good, hard ball. The back- field was composed of Sylvester Jones FB, Fred Jackson LHB, Tony Lassiter RHB, and George Urciuoli QB. The line did a fine job of blocking the opposition. This young and aggressive team was guided by the spirited leadership of Mr. William Brooks. Freshmen Football The Beacon High School Freshman Football team had a fairly successful season this year. In their opening game against Arlington, they fought throughout the entire game which re- sulted in a defensive shutout. In a return match with Arlington later in the season, they flattened them 13-2. The season was marked by only one loss—to Wappingers in their second game of the season. Another game was later scheduled against Wap- pingers but it was cancelled. This aggressive, hard-fighting team was coached with the able leadership of Mr. Dave O’Dell.

CAOA A CGtrltfAb r 4 . 4 W C-- 3 3£ffl3SfiiM -n The Cross Country team this year showed a great team effort, though most of the gains made were individual ones. A good example of individual effort was displayed by Mike Sedore. In the Westchester Invitation he placed eighth with a time of 13:25 winning a silver medal; at Arlington he set a 2 Vi-mile course record of 13:01 and won a gold medal, while in the same race Irvine Bryer placed fourth with a time of 13:31 winning a bronze medal. Mike placed sixth in the Section I Meet and thirteenth in the state. These individual achievements and the entire team's success must be attributed to the fine coaching of Mr. Louis Warren. J. V.

They seemed to carry over the tide from last season. The Bull- dogs, a calm, well-balanced team, never knew the heights they would reach with their tremendous efforts. Under Coach Tom Winterbottom the Bulldogs were made a team never to be forgotten in the minds of the Beacon fans. The Bulldogs rolled along in the season at a very fast clip. They took two games from Arlington, Newburgh, Roosevelt, Poughkeepsie, Wappingers, Our Lady of Lourdes, and Saugerties. They took one game away from Middletown. The Bulldogs, during the course of the season, won the Oneonta Christmas Tournament at Oneonta by defeating Mohaneson of Schenectady and Oneonta High School in the finals. Having gone undefeated in the regular season by winning seventeen in a row, the Bulldogs entered the Section One Tournamnt with a thirty-seven game winning streak. In the first game of the tournament Beacon was matched against a big, strong Lakeland team. After a hard-fought, exciting game, Beacon came out on top 59-54, extending their streak to thirty-eight. Then came the Sleepy Hollow-Beacon game in the semi-finals. The Bulldogs started out looking as sharp as ever, but as the first quarter progressed, the fans knew that this was not the same team that had done so well all season. In this game the Bulldogs just couldn’t do anything right. The Sleepy Hollow team, therefore, took ad- vantage of every mistake. The game ended with the score Sleepy Hollow 56 and the Beacon Bulldogs 40. This marked the first time the Beacon team lost in 38 games, but, when you think about it, a record of 38 wins and 1 loss is not too bad. This write-up could be entitled “Tribute to the Champions” because the Bull- dogs certainly proved themselves to be champions in every aspect of the game. Their conduct, sportsmanship, and aggressiveness showed that they always were generous winners and gracious losers. Let us hope that their achievements of 38 consecutive victories, B-C open champs 1963. and Oneonta Christmas Tourna- ment Champs will always remain as trademarks of this memorable team. The last strain of “Sweet Georgia Brown” has faded away, but the memory of the basketball team which staged its warm-up drills to that time-honored tune will remain with Beacon basketball fans for a long time.

Not present was Bob Milligan. The Junior Bulldogs, coached by Mr. Richard DiBiaso, triump- hantly ended their 63-64 season this year with a win over visiting Saugerties. This season, which included 15 wins, extended the;r total to 29 wins. Although this is very impressive, it was not always easy going and there were several games which put a real scare into every Beacon fan. The first tough team Beacon encountered at home was a strong Newburgh five, who were really out to upset their oppon- ents, and almost did, but Beacon battled back in the last quar- ter to a 56-49 win. On the Newburgh court it was the same story as the Beacon Jay Vees hit in the closing quarter to win it 40-38. The Saugerties Sawyers gave the Junior Bulldogs some top com- petition on the Sawyers’ home court as Beacon led by very slight margins, but came up with another win, 46-44. Beacon expected little trouble from Poughkeepsie after running away with the first game, 109-50, to set a new school record, but they were wrong. Poughkepsie proved themselves to be real ball players on their own court. They held the lead going into the fourth quarter, but were unable to sustain the Beacon attack as the Bulldogs came home again victorious after edging Poughkeepsie 48-43. The Junior Bulldogs may support an even stronger team next year, as many of the players will be returning wilh a year s experience behind them.

Under the coaching of Dr. Mathew Baransky the Beacon High Freshman Basketball team showed that it was a much improved team by taking the D.C.S.L. Freshman Basketball Championship with an 8-0 record. The team lost four and won two nonleague games for a season's record of 10-4. The 1963-64 Freshman team had speed, height, good ball handling, good shooting, and, most important, a tight, man-to-man defense which limited the opposing team to few points. Nate Milligan and Eddie Valentine, each averaging about twenty-six points a game, led a strong offensive attack. Charles Moore, Albert Overby, and Steve Quill showed strong rebounding ability. The entire team, including substitutes, showed a strong defense.

For one thing, it says nothing about the individual standouts—Captain Ralph “Buzzy” Rosmilso, with seven wins, his second D.C.S.L. title, and a first place at the Dobbs Ferry Tournament; John Bennett, with six wins, including a D.C.S.L. championship; Dennis Farley, also with six victories; and Lester Van Buren and Victor Chase, each with a fourth place in his class at the Section One Class B tournament. With ten returning lettermen, we can look forward to next year with a team which should prove to be the best ever in Beacon High School wrestling competition.

When they came back in September, they either immediately began the strenuous exercise of volleyball or field hockey, de- pending on the gym teacher. When the weather cooled, all classes began volleyball, and some girls became quite good. Soon, however, the girls tired of volleyball, and cageball be- come the craze. This consists of a huge ball which is supposed to be kicked over the other team’s head. The November and December months gave way to the sport of basketball. With the coming of late February the girls became the tumblers of tomorrow, trying to be best in the somersaults and gyrations that every girl should be able to do. This can’t last forever, though, and in the future we look forward to baseball season and to ending the year playing tennis. We thank Miss Mac- Lean and Miss Harten, who have truly led the girls to an in- vigorating, healthy, and enjoyable year.

Sports Thrills of 1963-1964 — In Activity we must find our joy as well as glory; and labor, like everything else that is good, is its own reward. E. P. Whipple STUDENT COUNCIL OFFICERS Seated: Mike Crisp, president; Standing, left to right: Elaine Russett, secretary; Paul Stella, vice-president; and Linda Salvatore, treasurer. The Student Council this year had many hopes and aspirations. However, due to overcrowding and other physical conditions we have not been able to initiate many of our ideas. We were able to bring about some changes. This year the constitution did get an overhauling. The district ex- change program has been approved and we are expecting students from other schools in March. This program is worked through district 2 of the N.Y.S.A.S.C. There will be changes in the student of the month program. The year has seen a narcotics program, the beginnings of an anti-smoking cam- paign, a hoped for full time foreign exchange student next year, a litter drive, and last, a marked increase in inter-club activity and co-operation. It can be hoped that this is a beginning of closer ties between clubs. Also this year has shown an in- crease in the student interest in the Student Council’s activities. We are hopeful that this will increase in future years. This would be the best thing that could happen to the student and the council. All in all, this has been a year of hopeful beginnings, some frustrations, and a lot of hard work. All work has been planning for the future. Gradual progress is better than none at all and a lot better than stagnation. With wise leadership and forceful leaders, com- bined with a lot of hard work, the Student Council can rise to its natural place as a leader in the school. The present officers and membership hope that this may take place. It can be done with co-operation and zeal on everyone’s part.

The Key Club of Beacon High School has enjoyed an active year un- der the leadership of president, J.A.D. (Bud) Shupe, and faculty advisor, Mr. James Guariloff. In October the officers and some of the members of the club attended a training conference held by the New York district of the Key Club in Utica. The club's pep squad was formed to increase student spirit and participate in the games and has been very suc- cessful. An interclub meeting was held in December with Newburgh. This was the first interclub activity in the Hud- son river division. The members aided the Salvation Army with its annual Christmas drive and the Kiwanis Club with its pancake day festival. The members of the club alternate in attending the weekly Ki- wanis luncheon, and the officers of the club ran one of these luncheons in November. In connection with its long range project, the purchase of an all-weather scoreboard for the school, the club held a number of fund-raising projects and progressed very well toward this goal. At this writing, the club plans to at- tend the annual New York district convention in Buffalo in the spring.

Character, leadership, scholarship, and service maintained at an honor- able level are the prerequisites for ad- mission into our society. In order to further these qualities throughout the school, the society has performed many varied activities during the year. To recognize and honor those students with these qualifications, an assembly was held in the fall. In accordance with tradition members were ushers at open house during that same week and also during brotherhood week at Forrestal School. To develop individual charac- ter and promote scholarship, a book fair is held in the spring, which will put at the disposal of every student doors to philosophy, religion, history, science, or any subject into which he might want to delve. A new experi- ment to foster leadership will be also tried. This is the student-faculty ex- change day to be held in May. It will put more emphasis on student re- sponsibility and encourage a freer exchange of ideas between student and teacher. A dance, the Hippity-Hop, in mid-January provided a time of re- laxation and entertainment. The high- light of the year is, of course, the an- nual trip which this year will be at- tendance at the Shakespearian festival at Stratford, Connecticut.

The Beacon High School debate club is a relatively young organization, this being its first year of active participation in debate. Debate coach is Mr. Ronald Cushman. Officers are: president, Samuel Frank; vice president, John Kalb; secretary, Mary Ann Murphy; and treas- urer, Paul Gayle. Despite its youth, the club has participated in a number of interscholastic tournaments this year. At Peekskill the team captured the second place trophy, defeating many long established teams. In addition, members of the club have received special recognition. At Carmel Sam Frank received a trophy as the best speaker among those debating. At Albany, Robert Stan- ulewich received a similar award. All in all, the club has had a very successful year and is looking forward to many more. In October, 1963, Beacon High School wel- comed to its organizations the Beacon chapter of the Future Homemakers of America. The officers of this club for the 1963-1964 term are: president, Margaret Schuler; vice-president, Rose Risoli; secretary, Sue Ravesi; treasurer, Beverly McCargo. The club is made up of students who have had at least half a semester of home economics and are in senior high. The purpose of the club is to insure better homemakers for the future. Some of their duties are to contribute time to the welfare of the community. Since the club has been organized, two guest speakers, Mrs. Elsie Sheppard, a beautician, and Mrs. Max Vogel, a make-up consultant, have honored us with their presence. Projects recently completed by the club in- clude the selling of corsages and the distribut- ing of favors to the patients at Castle Point. In the future, the club hopes to fulfill its duties as future homemakers of America.

The Dramatics Council, the honor- ary executive group elected for their achievement in theatrical fields, over- sees all theatre presentations at Bea- con High School. This year proved to be a full and rewarding one for their activities. In memory of our late President, John Fitzgerald Kennedy, the Dramatics Council presented an assembly dedicated to this man who left a memory in the hearts of all Americans. Activities of the Dramatics Council included the redecorating of the dress- ing room over the stage. Council mem- bers plastered, painted, and tiled the floor to complete the repairs. An outside activity planned by the Council concerned Children’s plays to be put on sometime in the future. These plays will be given for students in the grammar schools and will in- clude members of the Council and the Dramatics Club. Each year in June the Dramatics Council holds its Annual Awards Din- ner. This is held to honor those stu- dents who have been nominated for awards for their performances in the Council’s productions. With these activities and their second semester three-act play, another busy year faced those Beacon High students interested in the theatre.

Since the beginning of the school year the Varsity Club has been very active. On September 21, 1963, we sponsored our first dance. As football season rolled in, we finished payments on a seven man sled which we had purchased for the football team. At all home football games the club held concessions, and as the season pro- gressed we were responsible for the publicity and the rally before the Saugerties game. On November 1, 1963, the club purchased jackets for its members to further our recognition and increase school spirit. Since bas- ketball season opened, the Varsity Club has had concessions at all home games. In conjunction with basketball games the club has set up a code of ethics whose purpose is to promote good sportsmanship at all school functions, athletic and non-athletic, which we hope will develop tolerable and good citizens of school and com- munity. William Kaputa The Girls Athletic Association is an organiza- tion set up to encourage girls to take part in an athletic program. They stress sportsmanship wherever they go, but are also out to win. This year the GAA organized a volleyball play day at Haldane and Red Hook, from which they returned with a trophy. Also in volleyball they have had intermurals here. In the bowling club, initiated by the GAA, awards will be given: one for individual scorer, one for the team with the highest score, and one for the girl with the highest average. Currently the GAA has organized a girls' track team and girls' softball team with plans for interschool competition with Haldane and Wappingers. The girls meet every Monday afternoon with their advisor, Miss Harten. Officers are: presi- dent, Sally Pulcastro; vice-president, Rose Ann Mazzacone; secretary, Melanie Rose; and treas- urer Pam Pavelock.

In the past years the nurse's assis- tants and Future Nurses Club of Bea- con High School have been learning the role of a younger Florence Night- ingale. Miss Boris, the advisor of the groups, has been busy helping these girls and boys to learn the proper methods of basic nursing techniques. The nurse's assistants devote their time in helping Miss Boris during the school day. The Future Nurses Club has taken several trips, heard varied speakers, and helped nursing homes. Many members of the Future Nurses Club are candystripers at Highland Hospital. NURSE’S ASSISTANTS Left to right, seated: Sharon Higgins, Susan Storm, Donna Nuccitelli, Barbara Kudzia.

For this purpose is the French Club in existence: that the language, culture, and customs of France should come alive in our American schools to create a better understanding of the country itself. Scrapbooks and maps of the various provinces have been made to foster a better understanding of its people and customs; - many members are cor- responding with French pen pals. Some of its rich culture will be ab- sorbed through a French play to be seen in New York and a visit to the French pavilon at the World’s Fair. Through these activities we hope to become better prepared for that grand and glorious day when France will no longer be something to study from afar, but a very real and living part of our world, viewed first hand. LIBRARY AIDES Left to right, first row: Dorothy Plimley, Nancy Hedges, Mrs. Ruth Polhill, Elaine Russett, Susan Huish, Jean Cashin. Second row: Marilyn Meurant, Sharon Howe, Kathy Eagan, Sarah Zeitler, Sharon Lane, and Marianne Leger. The Library Aides are girls from all classes and courses. Their respec- tive interests and knowledge are varied and their main duty is to help where and when needed. By just look- ing at the girl behind the desk, who is busy checking out and slipping books, a person might get the impression that it is a very routine job. But as one gets to know the many complexi- ties that exist in library work such as counting circulation, taking inventory, and processing records, one realizes that the job of a library aide is not routine or simple, but very interesting and enlightening. In many cases the school work of the assistants has im- proved considerably because of theircon- stant contact with the library and its many available sources of reference.

The Class of 1965 got off to a quick start in 1963 with its annual magazine drive. It did fairly well, raising over $2,000. Every junior that participated received a seven dollar deposit on his class ring, which we expect to arrive sometime in March. On November 23, 1963, our class held its junior prom. Paul Stella and Susan Storm were co-chairmen of the event, while committee heads consisted of: decorations, Billie Ann Varland and Pat DeMarco; refreshments, Sally Oliveri; tickets, Sam Frank; and publicity, Cherie Turner and Mike Tighe. Music was provided by the Vince Corozine quartet. In keeping with the theme “Shangri-La”, the gym was decorated in an oriental motif. Glee Johnson was crowned queen, escorted by Ed Zwinscher. Her attendants were Pat Van Vlack with Bill Dearnaley, and Cheryl Vought with Bruce Arnold. The evening was a success although it was saddened and overshadowed by the recent death of President John F. Kennedy. As this is being written, plans are being made for the annual junior party for the seniors, which will be held sometime in late April. All in all, we had a successful year, and we hope to have as successful a one next year. We never would have been able to accomplish any of these things, however, without the willing and able help of Mrs. Mary F. Pennybacker and Mr. Eugene Kosa. Our thanks to them. Glee Johnson and Dave Mason Senior Activities On November first, the Class of ’64 opened its year’s activities by entertain- ing the juniors for a social evening in room 320. The highlight of the evening was the skit, “Superman”, starring Rich Stevens as Superman. The second half of the entertainment was a discussion between Crazy Guggenheim (Jim Allan) and Dudley Do-Right (Rich Lucas). The event was quite well attended and everyone seemed to enjoy himself. The next activity of the senior class was the senior party in room 320 on February 11. It was the boys’ party for the girls and the girls’ party for the boys combined in one big evening. Senior class favorites were announced by Rich Stevens at this time. The skits, a telethon by the boys and a musical tragedy-comedy by the girls, were again enjoyed and well-received. Those who were there had a very nice time. The class plans for the remainder of the year were as follows: On March 25, the senior class and the Varsity Club are to combine in pre- senting the annual senior-faculty sports night. Three games are on tap and dancing is to follow. Ed Zwinscher, Varsity Club president, and Joe Sacca and Henry Small, seniors, were in charge of the evening. May 5 is the date set aside for the annual senior tea. Brenda Bohl and Roberta Healey, co-chairwomen, are to work with advisor, Mrs. Koverda, to get this wonderful affair planned and carried out well. On June 5, the senior class is to hold its prom. For the first time in a long while, plans were made to have it outside the school. Bud Shupe and Diane Yanarella are co-chairmen of the event, and Mr. DiBiaso the faculty advisor. Seniors purchased graduation announcements for the first time in quite a while and they were fairly well accepted. During the basketball season, the class sold “Bulldog” pins at home games to raise some money and to help school spirit. The pins achieved both aims. The seniors also planned a dance for some time in the late spring to raise money for the prom and the school gift.

Our Town, a three act classic by Thornton Wilder, directed and designed by Mr. John B. Laing, was held in the high school auditorium on December 13th and 14th, 1963, at 8:30 p.m. Dedicated by the council to our late President, it presented a picture of life that held meaning for him. The story concerned two families in the small community of Grovers Corners, New Hampshire. The main character was the Stage Manager, por- trayed by Richard Lucas. Since Thornton Wilder believed in the use of imagination and no scenery, Richard enlightened the audience about the play and invited them to join the world of imagination. Betty Oliver portrayed Emily Webb, a small town girl who marries a local boy, George Gibbs, portrayed by Robert Clarke. Other members of the class added to the atmosphere of small town life and its sur- roundings. Assistant to Mr. Laing was Mary Alice Gauriloff, whose patience and understanding con- tributed to making this a sound performance. Back- stage workers deserve just as much credit for help- ing to make Our Town a big success. Sue Ravesi BEACON highsJ Dlfq MTiCS COUNCIL OUR TOWN nissiow DEC.

Standing: William Curry, James Letterio, Cor- nelius Weiss, Harold Allred, George Sorenson, Dr. Bishop, Superintendent. Throughout our school years, our education has been guided and influenced through our Board of Education. Working long hours without pay, they have worked in close co- operation with the Superintendent of Schools and the school principals to give us the best all-around education possible. The Board of Education functions under the committee system. Each member is both the head of a committee and a member of two other committees. In this way problems are categor- ized and referred to their respective committees for investigation and recommendations. The committees then try to determine solutions to the problems. The Board of Education is continually chang- ing and improving our school system, and in recent years our standard of educational facili- ties and teaching programs have been modern- ized and restyled to meet the challenge of Beacon’s ever-changing educational needs. The ultimate goal of the Board and the entire school system is the best all-around education for each individual, suited to his own capabilities and needs. To do this with a minimum of taxation without sacrificing education for the saving of money is the complex principle with which the Board works. The Board of Education wants the best for each student, and it believes that through con- stant progress and change this may some day be achieved—with our help, too. As Thomas Price, President of the Board of Education has said, “The Board of Education is vitally interested and aware of the student population and is en- thused with their scholarship and extra-curri- cular achievements. The progress made recently by students in all fields of endeavor is to be commended. The students and faculty are creat- ing a record to be proud of.” Betsy Muenger Our Superintendent Behind every worthwhile event, endeavor, or organiza- tion there stands a wise and watchful guide, regulating with skill the many complex components of a successful whole. The Beacon public school system is fortunate in having such a guide, Dr. Bradley Bishop, in the import- ant role of Superintendent of Schools. To the students of Beacon High School, Dr. Bishop seems a dignified and competent man and instills in them the confidence that perhaps someday his optimistic prophesy will be realized that Beacon High School will be the best high school in the state. It has greatly im- proved in many respects during the past few years and is presently enjoying a relatively low dropout rate and few major discipline problems. Dr. Bishop attributes this largely to a more diversified school program. He be- lieves that most young people desire an education but often become bored and dissatisfied with work for which they have neither interest nor talent or which is not sufficiently challenging to properly stimulate the mind. To alleviate this situation a more comprehensive aca- demic and extracurricular program has been developed, and the facilities of the high school are continually being improved. Perhaps someday we will have the ideal school program as Dr. Bishop sees it: a program con- taining something of value for students of all aptitudes, interests, and levels of ability. The senior class, according to Dr. Bishop, plays a vital role in the school, as it is extremely important in setting a public image and is a major force in setting the behavior standards of the entire school. The Class of 1964, he feels, has provided a standard which has aided in the improvement of the school through its outstand- ing record of academic and extracurricular achieve- ments. With our help and Dr. Bishop’s high standards and skillful guidance, Beacon High School will continue to improve and become a school in which we can all take great pride. Janet Shively Our Principal When I first met Mr. Donald Sipe, he was the personification of the new principal, uncertain of his new environment, yet fully prepared to take charge. Even in his first days in office, Mr. Sipe showed us that he was not an ordinary man. He has set high standards for Beacon High School, and he feels that the entire student body is capable of meeting them. This is a man who is not afraid of criticism and is well prepared to meet it. While his immediate objective is the encouragement of academics in Beacon High School, in no way has he tried to diminish the interest in sports and extracurricular activities. However, he has often stressed the relative im- portance of these functions. This senior class, in particular, has always been a subject of high concern for Mr. Sipe. He has pointed out the role of the senior class as that of a guiding light shining for other schools. It is the seniors who influence the school life most. They are, for the most part, better edu- cated and more mature than the lower class- men; they set an example for the entire student body to follow. Mr. Sipe has commended the Class of 1964 as an exceptional class: they have shown a great deal of maturity in their acceptance of conditions, they have been constructive, and they have been exceptional in academics and in participation. Of course, one thought always on the mind of seniors is special privileges. What are Mr. Sipe’s thoughts about these? Repeatedly, Mr. Sipe has pointed out that crowded facilities greatly limit most opportunities for special pri- vileges. Few acceptable proposals have been brought to his attention. Before he can act on anything concerning the school, an organized plan should be presented. Then he is most willing to talk the ideas over. However, seniors should realize that privileges are relatively unimportant compared to respon- sibility to the school.

As we enter the school, let us point out the various points of interest. One word of warning— if you hear a bell, press yourself flat against the wall to avoid the stampede. On your left is the gracious office of the long enduring principal, Mr. Sipe. Directly across the hall we see the gentle Mr. Scoba talking to Betsy Muenger and Janet Shively. “You two should know better,” reverberates through the hall. Look out, you’ll be run down. Diane Yanarella, Chris Bopp, and Ilene Heilman are trying to make the bell again. Let’s take the basement and work up. Watch out. That was Rich Stevens being thrown out of physics again. He probably didn't laugh at Mr. Tag’s joke. Those industrious boys playing with the oscilloscope are John Freer, Bob Ebeling, and John Bennett. From whence cometh that melody? Oha! The senior chorus has stopped talking and is singing. That’s Andrea Renovitch banging away at the piano while Donald Sie- bert, Ellen MacDowell, Marie Holt, and John Brink sing “We Love You Truly” to Mr. Klein. This door leads to the spacious lunch room. Mrs. Zeitler is very busy serving lunches with the aid of her daughter, Sarah Zeitler. Georgianna Lacey, Kathy Eagan, and Peter Darcy are frequently found here in the art room throwing paint at each other. As we pass this room we ask that you please be quiet. Margaret Schuler, Elaine Russett, Robert Clark, and Richard Lucas are rehearsing for a big production to be held on the B.H.S. stage. If anyone is feeling ill, step right this way. Bill Galla- gher, Karen Tieder, and Betty Burns are always pre- pared to assist Nurse Boris. Those hot sounds you are hearing emanate from the band room. That trumpeter can only be one person— Mike Trojan, accompanied by Margaret O’Leary and John Kalb on their slide trombones. Down the hall we find the boys’ gym class, but where’s Coach Winterbottom? He must be discussing strategy with Ed Zwinscher, Curt Stewart, A1 Milli- gan, and Mickey Reed. Meanwhile, the girls’ gym classes are heard complaining about showers. Going up the stairs we find the chemistry and home ec rooms competing to see which can produce the worst smells. By the way, the spacious lockers on this floor belong to the seniors. In the library you will see Marilyn Meurant and Mary Alice Gauriloff hard at work. The rest of the floor is devoted to mere under- classmen who are unworthy of our notice. Now we will proceed to the upper floor. Straight ahead is room 320. Senior homerooms are held here and in the two rooms in the back. The seniors are mature and sedate. They are always quiet and atten- tive during announcements. Mr. Pennybacker is asking his class to give im- promptu speeches on why they don’t want to go to college. Don Tarquini says he’ll miss hunting rats, while Stuart Kaplan is afraid his sister will enjoy herself too much with him away at college. The best reason was that we don’t want to leave this thriving, cultured city of Beacon. This room is used for American history classes. Mr, Pearson, as usual, wants to know why Ronald D’Aprile can’t answer the last question. Kristin Bauer, Joanne Petrus, and Elvie Nippert are trembling. Is it cold in there, or are they afraid they might be called on next? On down the hall you will hear the clickety-clack of typewriters. Roberta Healey, Marilyn Lake, and Brenda Bohl are busy taking shorthand from Mrs. Koverda. This small room is of utmost importance. It is the yearbook office. Richard Stevens and Frank Kniffin, co- editors of The Span, are often seen here working hard on layouts. Linda Stehr, Bill Dearnaley, and Norma Schneer are also here frequently. You will notice their names and those of some of the other workers written on the walls for the benefit of posterity. Poor Mrs. Murphy can hardly teach next door when the boys are “working” in the office. As we leave the school you will notice the cars which surround it. That blue Chevy belongs to Tom Kormondy. The black Ford is Pete Mac A very’s. That beautiful piece of machinery is Rich Beebe’s. Beacon High School may have its faults, but it has had an effect on all who have passed through its halls. Those who have studied, played, laughed, and cried here will always remember Beacon High School with a feeling of nostalgia. The codfish lays ten thousand eggs, The homely hen lays one. The codfish never cackles, To tell you what she’s done. And so we scorn the codfish, While the humble hen we prize, Which only goes to show you, That it pays to advertise.

As his experience grows, his knowledge and professional capabilities grow more and more specialized. As a person becomes more specialized in one field, he usually cannot change to another without starting at or near the bottom. So it is more important than ever that graduates take time to look around them to determine what their greatest talents and interests are. When you have done that, choose the field where your real interests and abilities lie, for that is the surest and fastest road to success and happiness Though specialized, our world offers a wider range of opportunities than ever before. And there is in this modern world a place for each of us, a place where each can succeed and find happiness. It is up to each person to find his own place. The time to look is now!
