Very active in FFA, he has been vice-pres- ident, reporter, and secretary of this or- ganization. He has en- joyed sports, and his popular hobbies are hunting and fishing. In our Junior play Phil” was cast as Mr. Phelps. Phillip tells us his pet gripes are English and girls. We have usually heard him re- peat his favorite say- ing when he was think- ing about an English exam (and he took sev- eral of these the first half of this year) — What s the usei REBECCA BURGESS Becky with a very logical pet peeve— school books --has Oh, beans as her us- ual saying. This girl, our cap- able Freshman class treasurer, lists the BROADCAST for two years, and the BELOREA and Camera Club this year, as occupying much of her time. Choir has also played a large part in Becky s school life; she part- icipated In All-County Choir and All-State Sectional Chorus, jun- ior and Senior plays revealed her ability as a character actress. Square dancing, popular music, and skating are some of her hobbies. Then there s Al , our most scientifi- cally-minded Senior, who was brave enough to take Solid Geometry this year. And what do you suppose he wants to do? That s right— go to college and major in science. Alan has enjoyed sports In his Junior and Senior years, particularly playing basketball and soccer; in the latter, he played a very quick goalie. Al was a member of the Student Council one year. His hobby Is collecting sea shells. This tall fellow (next to Walt ) has a pet peeve--that is, people who think they know too muchj FRANCIS DAHILL Frannie or Buck , a very talented fellow —especially In rnuslc- _was a Band member all four years and also played his trumpet In the All-County Band for two years. His pet peeves are cowboy singers (apparently our authority does not consider this music). Choir rated high in his school routine and took him to Arcade to sing tenor in All-State Sectional Chorus. Active in sports, Francis played basket- ball all four years, soccer two years and baseball a trio of years. He proved his ability in acting: as Jim and Aunt Delia , character roles. Fran- cis may enter college. SUSAN DE ROCK Sue , secretary and active member of the Camera Club, is al30 the photography editor for the BELOREA. Sue has participated en- thusiastically for four years as a B.C.S. Cheerleader. Always present at anything concerning the Choir, Sue has enjoyed being a member for one year. An apt student in dri- ver education, she says driving a car is one of her hobbies. She is also an accom- plished dancer and likes swimming and skating. You betch- le and Mercy are Sue's favorite say- ings. In the future our Oramel Miss intends to take a business course. DOUGLAS HERRICK Doug , the shyest of the Senior boys, goes all-out for sports. His Junior and Senior years made him a star basketball player. Baseball and soccer have helped to occupy his time during the past three years. (Miss McCarthy inter- rupted some of his dreams about sports during his pet peeve-- Engllsh class.) This year Doug,whose top hobby is hunting, was elected president of our Student Council. He was also an active Band and Choir member. As Huck in our Jun- ior Play and Jed in the Senior Play, he proved his acting skill. KAY KAUFMAN JANICE HUFF Jan , as she likes to be called, is plan- ning to study at Albany State to be a commer- cial teacher. This January she represented Belfast in the Dairy Queen con- test at Belmont. Dur- ing high school she has been typing editor twice for the BELOREA and a member of the BROADCAST. She was in the choir for two years and an avid en- thusiast of the Camera Club this year. Jan has many hobbies: skating, watching stage plays, dancing, swimming, and riding horseback. Her favorite saying is All rightyl Fickle people are one of her pet peeves. PATRICIA JONES Pat is a vivacious Senior in sports. Choir is also an act- ivity in high school which she enjoys. She has been a member all four years. Her pet peeve is know-it-alls. Dancing is a hobby which Pat is real hep over; she is al- ways willing to learn new dances. Skating is another of her hob- bies. And she always chooses large histor- ical novels for her reading. What say? happens to be Pat's usual expression. Marriage, Pat says, is in the future for her. Kay , a very active student, has held offices in different organizations: Fresh- man president. Sopho- more treasurer, Senior secretary. Student Council secretary. Camera Club vice-pres- ident, BROADCAST edi- tor, and BELOREA art editor. She has been a member of the Band and Choir. Kay tells that she has enjoyed most of her classes and activities. Her pet peeves are having to eat and go- ing to bed early. She likes photography, round dancing, laugh- ing, and playing the piano. Next year the Geneseo campus should ring with Kay's laughter and her popular expressions. WALTER KOTTWITZ The Seniors1 tallest fellow has been a great asset to our basketball, baseball and soccer teams. Since Walt proved a very active Junior vice-president, his classmates elected him as the Senior treasur- er. He played leading roles in the Junior and Senior plays as Tom Sawyer and Ran- dy . In the latter this teaser of girls spent a week trying to calm a house full of girls. This is diff- erent from the Walt , whom you will find fishing on most vaca- tion days. Walt, whose favorite saying is I don't like your attitude, may pursue a physical education course. JOAN KRANZ Joan, who Joined us in eighth grade, says her pet peeves are late or giggly people. Joan enjoyed partici- pating in All-County Choir as a Junior and Senior and All-Sect- ional State Chorus as a Senior. She has been Freshman vice- president, Sophomore secretary, and Junior and Senior president. A Student Council re- presentative-at-1 ar ge twice, Joan was vice- president this year. The BELOREA, BROADCAST and Choir have been other favorite activi- ties. Joan's oft-re- peated OhJ NoJ and Oood Lord may be heari at Albany State Tea- chers College, where she will major in math WILLIAM MCCUMISKEY Bill plans to Join Uncle Sam's forces as soon as he graduates. There he hopes to es- cape his pet peeves— English class and par- ties. His favorite hobbies are hunting and fishing. This past year he was treasurer of the Cam- era Club. Besides be- ing a great baseball fan. Bill has played soccer and basketball the last three years. Everyone will remember Bill as Dumpling in the Senior play. In the fall of 19514.� Bill joined the Choir, an activity which he has thoroughly enjoyed. and science ARDITH MCNAMARA Ardith is one of the quieter Senior girls— that is, until she gets behind the wheel of her green Chevy and goes whizzing through town. This is her own private school bus and the kids are grateful to her for the lifts she gives them. As a Freshman, Ardith was an active Student Council member. A so- prano, she has sung in the Choir the past three years. She also participated in the Senior play. We could always depend upon Ar- dith's help for money- making projects. Ardith would like to be an airline hostess. VIOLA OPFERBECK A newcomer to our school is Viola, who joined our class in her Junior year. Ap- parently Viola isn't as sports-minded as some of the Senior girls, for she says her pet peeve is tak- ing gym. One often hears her say, Oh, sugar. Before coming to Belfast, Viola was a student at Franklin- ville High School, where she sang in the Choir. This year she was in the Senior play. Listening to hillbilly music (the topic of her term paper) and knitting are her hob- bies. Viola says her plans for the future are un- decided. PATRICIA REDDY Our small lass, Pat plans to attend Gen- eseo State to major in social studies• Her pet peeves are Senior boys and short noon hours. If you re look- ing for Pat, you might find her on horseback,, at a dance, the movies or a basketball game. She has been Student Council secretary, BROADCAST'S typing ed- itor, BELOREA'S liter- ary editor. Freshman and Junior secretary, and Senior vice-presi- dent. Add to these Choirr All-County Chorus these past two years. All—Sectional State Choir this year, and cheerleading. It's no wonder Pat says, If I had fifteen more things to do... CAROL TREUSDELL The most modest Sen- ior is Carol. We did- n't even know she was Maple Sugar Queen for this district until we read it in the paper. Congratulations, Carol. In her Junior year she was the BROADCAST'S distribution editor and a Sophomore and Junior Student Council member. She rates reading, cooking, and sports as her top hobbies. Some of Carol's popular ac- tivities have been BROADCAST, BELOREA and Junior and Senior plays. In spite of her fav- orite saying, I don't know , she does know she plans to attend Bryant and Stratton Business School after she graduates. SHIRLEY WRIGHT Meet Shirley, who was a competent Junior class treasurer and distribution manager of the BROADCAST. Shirley has two very logical pet peeves, crowds in the gym and too many pupils in the halls—pupils who block traffic when classes pass. She has been a mem- ber of both the BEL- OREA and BROADCAST these past two years. Shirley also had a role in the Senior play. During three years she sang in the Choir. Concerning the fu- ture, Shirley cannot tell at the present MISS EVELYN NOURSE Miss Evelyn Nourse, our class advisor for three years, is a grad- uate of Fillmore Cen- tral School and Ithaca College. Besides be- ing Faculty Treasurer for the past two years, she is a member of the Order of Eastern Star, the Rebekah Lodge, and Adelphi, freshman hon- orary society of Ith- aca College. Miss Nourse, whose hobbies are boating, cooking, sewing, reading, knit- ting and hiking, often says, Oh, no-o-o, and her pet peeve is winter. She plans to attend Albany State this summer to continue working on her Masters. what she will do Mr. Richard B. Hale,, our class advisor for two years, is a re- nowned personage in the field of music this area. A graduate of Houghton College and New York Univer- sity, Mr. Hale is mod- est about mentioning the many honors paid him. A few of the po- sitions held by him have been director of All-County Chorus in 19514. and director of the famed Opollo Club, an outstanding musical organization in Wells- vllle. This teacher's pet peeve is the use of nicknames, such as Gramps . His favor- ite hobby is cooking. (Ever try his spa- ghetti?) Second Row- Richard Davie, David Lafferty, David Jones, Howard Morton, Arthur Cooper, Roderick Davie, Patrick Metz First Row - Mr. Coveil, Margaret Whalen, Mary Ann Webb, Anna Mae Dalton, Phyllis Chamberlain, Barbara Weaver, Olga Fote, Mabel Kruppner, Miss McCarthy We, the Juniors of '55, looking for recognition, have decided to bring to your attention what we think is the Best of B. C. S. i the Cream of the crop . Under the supervision of Miss Mary McCarthy (an ardent basketball fan), Mr. Woodrow Covell (our noble principal), and Mrs. Ruth Taber (a former member of the Future Wives of Farmers ]), this cream is slowly turning to butter. Therefore, before anything drastic happens, we would like to introduce our class to you. First we have Roderick Davis (otherwise known as the Crisco Kid ) and Richard Davis (his twin who frequently argues with Rod ), Anna Mae Dalton (our pert 'n pretty future homemaker), David Jones (Ann's better half), David Lafferty (Mr. Candyman and Mr. Stiltman himself), Phyllis Cham- berlain (the miss who intends to charge for tutoring services if the demand increases), Mary Ann Webb (a gal who spends her spare time doing homework), Artie Cooper (we all wonder why he spends so much time in Fillmore), Mabel Kruppner (our financial wizard), Peggy Whalen (our red-headed baby sitter), Pat Metz (the smartest boy in Latin III), Barbara Weaver (our diligent class worker who recently moved back to civilization—used to live in Allen), Howard Morton ( Oh, Romeo, Romeo, wherefore art thou, Romeo? ), and last, but not least, Olga Fote (the busiest girl in high schoolJ) Now you've met our gregarious group. Dreaming of Washington, we launched a gigantic campaign to earn enough dollars to reach there. Among our projects were our subscription drive for the Belfast Blaze, our long-awaited Junior Play Rest Assured, our dances and our bake sales.

One of our strongest defensive points was that we out-scored our opponents 21-15. With practically the same defensive unit and promising linemen coming up, Belfast Is looking forward to a more successful season next year. . , One of the thrillers last season was a game with Rushford. They conquered us by the score of 1-0, but at that time they were a the top of their league. Later they were beaten In the semi-finals. Our great defensive strength showed up very well In this game, since It held them to one penalty kick. Canaseraga, who went to the playoffs from our league, was able to score only one penalty kick against us also. It was said that the Belfast soccer team had one of the best defensive units In the County during our past season. a .. Below Is the list of games that were played during the soccer season with the results: Belfast 9 Belmont 3 ft 0 Rushford 1 it 0 Allentown 4 n 6 Angelica 0 � � 0 Whltesvllie 2 n 4 Angelica 0 •� 0 Canaseraga 1 2 Sclo 4 Totals 21 Totals 15 Second Row- Coach Palmer, Donald Burr, Gerald Halbert, Nell Spalding, Roderick Bavis, Joseph Whalen, Daniel Jones First Row - Manager Philip Rock, Frank Young, Ronald O’Hara, Patrick McCuralskey, LeRoy Burr, Alan Chamberlain, Howard Morton, Manager Michael Schroeder Coach Gene Palmer’s Junior Varsity squad started the season with a couple of hard losses to Allentown 30-31 and Fillmore 29-30, but bounded back from defeat by whipping Whltesvllle 39-22 and Angelica 54-24. A strong Sclo dumped the JV’s 57-38 and 44-38, but again Belfast came back by defeating Rlchburg 49-39 and Allentown 43-37. The big night for the JV’s came when they downed Rushford 45-35 and acquired first place In the league. At this time our league record was 4-0 and our playing ability was at Its best. As the season neared the end, Belfast hit a slump and by losing a couple of tough games to Rushford and Canaseraga, had to settle for second place In the league. Still Belfast’s record was Impressive, with 8 wins and 8 losses and by outscorlng their opponents 613 to 545. Material from this squad promises to be excellent for the varsity, as most of the club consisted of Freshmen and Sophomores. The following Is a list of the players, their total points, and their percentages!

This victory was followed by three successive wins at the expense of Vhitesville, Fillmore and Angelica We suffered our first defeat at the hands of Scio on our court by the score of 51-75 due mainly to their excellent $2% shooting average The entire school student body was elated when we came from behind to defeat Rushford in a thrilling game 53-1 ® This was our second league game victory; the first league triumph was over Angelica (68-5®)• Then we lost two hard-fought games with Fillmore 50-52 and Canaseraga 1 3-5U The latter was our first league loss, one which affected our attempt to reach Alfred University for the Section Five Playoffs. A win over Angelica the second time by the score of 5®-l 5 placed us in a tie with Rushford. Rushford won for the top position in our league. We knew that the second game with Rushford would determine the first place honor. This contest was one in which the lead changed several times during the game. The score at half-time was 23-23; after three- quarters of play, 33-38; and at the final bell, 1 7-51 (their favor) Our last league game was with Canaseraga, which we won by the score of 56-53 By virtue of this victory, Belfast finished their regular season with an 8-8 record This necessitated a County playoff game, in Wellsville's gym between Belfast and Scio to determine the Section Five Tournament entry. As history will state, Belfast lost, 60-1 1. The squad owes a debt of gratitude to their managers (Patrick Metz, John Marsh and Robert Watson), their cheerleaders (Susan DeRock, Patricia Reddy, Diane Rich, Beverly Haskins and Jacqueline Rock), and the advisor to these cheerleaders (Mrs. Vivian Cornett).
