a % 1955 BERLIN CENTRAL SCHOOL I FOREWORD Just as it requires mechanical power to operate huge man-made machines, so it requires the power of God to properly operate men’s lives. I am happy to present to the members of the class of '55 the timetested key to happy and successful living. Seek ye first the Kingdom of God and His righteous- ness. and all these things shall be added unto you . Earl W Hewitt 2 Supervising Principal DEDICATION We, the class of 1955, wish to dedicate our yearbook to Mr. Russell Gossoo. Without his willing assistance, the publication of this yearbook and many of our other accomplishments would not have been possible 3 JACK We. the class of 1955, would like to acknowledge our appreciation for the willing and generous efforts that Mr. Jack O Dell has given to us dur- ing the last two years. THE HORSE Throughout our high school years we have maintained the same place to which we all gathered and talked. At such times as when we trimmed for dances, suppers, and even when we had Senior Play practice The Horse” was the general hangout. 4 Mrs. Norma Goodermote School Nurse Mr. Russell Gossoo Industrial Arts Mrs. Ruby Maxson Commercial Department M rs.

CLASS SONG Tune— ‘‘Now is the Hour” 1st verse Dear Berlin Central We are leaving you We are now embarking on a voyage true All our future holds For this we all thank-you So our dear Berlin A fond farewell to you. 2nd verse Berlin oh Berlin We sure will miss you The colors green and gold bring thoughts of you. Our success in life we know we'll owe to you We want to thank you Berlin Central School 16 CLASS HISTORY On October 11, 1951, our class officially became members of Berlin Cent- ral High School through the usual, dignified manner of the traditional initia- tion procedure. For this solemn occasion the girls of our class were decked out in their fathers' best long underwear, feed-bag-booties, and short skirts. The girls wore no make-up and their hair was done in rags. The boys were the picture of dignity in their baby bonnets, diapers, stockings, slippers, and carrying a rattle and a lollipop. After making us look as foolish as possible the Juniors gave us a very nice reception and dance. Our money-making activities in our Freshman year included two food sales which netted about $30.00 each, a movie entitled Mr. Belvedere Goes to College, and a paper drive. Our class officrs that year were: President — Jeannette Ford Vice-President — Joan Schmich Secretary — Nancy White Treasurer — Pat Haley Looking forward to our senior trip to Washington. D. C.. we carried out many activities during our Sophomore .year. These activities consisted of two dances. ''Shilaylee Shindig and a Barn Dance. We also sponsored a program called “Strat-O-Cruiser Our officers for our sophomore year were: President — Jeannette Ford Vice-President — Walter Brown Secretary — Nancy White Treasurer — Gary Winn During our Junior year we welcomed in the new freshmen with the tra- ditional freshman initiation. We also said farewell to the seniors with the an- nual Junior-Senior Ball. Other efforts to make money included another dance, the Hearts Ahoy. We also sold iron-on letters and School Daze books. Our class officers were: President — Janis Hakes Vice-President — Calvin Agan Secretary — Jeannette Ford Treasurer —Nancy White We were not very far along in our senior year when we began rehears- als for our senior play. The play, entitled East Lynne was a melodrama which required nearly two months of preperation and rehearsals but when the night of December 1, 1954 had passed, we all knew that our play had been a success. We also began early to prepare our yearbook. Aside from our play, our most important money-making activity was our spaghetti sup- per. The major event of our senior year was our class trip to Washington. D. C, which we took by storm on Friday. April 8. 1955 and successfully held until Tuesday. April 12. Returning from Washington we put the finish- ing touches on our yearbook and at long last, after four years, we settled down to preparing for our graduation. Our class officers for our senior year were President — Nancy White Vice-President — Donna Amidon Secretary — Joan Schmich Treasurer — Gary Winn 17 SENIOR PLAY On December 1. the Senior Class (thats us) presented to the world (the part of it that was in the Berlin Central School Auditorium, that is) their fabulous production of East Lynne. The play was written by Mrs. Henry Woods. Directing our play were Mr. Edwin Gilcher and Miss Alice Comstock who contributed their tireless efforts to making our play the hit that it was. The cast of characters was announced as: Lady Isabel Vane: winsome as a sunbeam, the most tearful heroine to ever weep into a repetoire of hankies was superbly portrayed by our own Joan Schmich (who better would fit the part?): Sir Francis Levison. (the rogue of all rogues), that heavily mustach- ed villian with the mocking laugh was Wesley Sandberg. Wes did so well we suspect all the stage villans to follow him will want his secret of success that manly bosomed hero, Archibald Carlyle, who spouted nothing but noble speeches was Gary Winn, the noblemen of the seniors (but of course they’re all noble); that wonderful performance of Cornelia Carlyle was done by (under all that sticky smelly make-up and sharp tongue) our own sweet little Jams Hakes: John Dill the silly little law clerk who worshipped Cornelia was played by the sportsman of the class Walt Brown; Raymond Vane, who in- herited the tijle of Lord Mount Severn, was played by Tom Mahoney (did- n't he look like a man with a title?): Nancy White showed exquisite acting ability as she portrayed Emma Mount Severn, for we all know she is as far from being (that type) as anyone: the rest of the cast who did a wonder- ful job were Priscilla Palmer as Joyce, (the servant): Beverly McKinnon as Wilson (another servant). Jeannette Ford as Barbara Hare; Calvin Agan as Richard and Mrs. Otway Bethel (Clara) was played by Anna Larkin. Our play was presented in the atmosphere of a colonial home. All the characters were attired in a colonial fashion and acted in this way. also. It took us only four weeks to get ready for our production. Besides the acting wonders we also had scenery that looker superb. Our special designer. Mr. Russell Gossoo. artistically reproduced a mid-victorinn living room that was out of this world. We have heard rumors to the fact that the big broadway producers have been trying to contact us. We hope they will not be too much of a bother for you know we have to graduate before we head for Broadway. 18 CLASS VOTE Has biggest drag with faculty .

April 8, fifteen members of our senior class and our chap- erones started out for Washington. D.C. on our long awaited senior trip. This trip was the object of all our money-making activities since the begin- ning of our freshman year in high school. Nearly all day Friday was spent on board the Empire Travel Club’s special train. We did not arrive at Washington until 6:15. The first few hours on the train were exciting and interesting for almost everybody but as the ride wore on so did everybody's enthusiasm, and as the sun went down so did the eyelids of some of us. But then at last, we were arriving at Union Station, Washington, D.C. and the worst part of our journey was over and before us were four days in our nation's capitol visiting all the interesting, historic places we had only read about before. After a relaxing sleep in the comfortable beds of the Fairfax Hotel, we set forth Saturday morning full of vim and vigor. Saturday we visited the Rock Creek Zoo, the Lincoln Memorial, Lee Mansion and the Tomb of the Unknown Soldier. We also enjoyed a complete sight-seeing tour of the city of Washington and visits to the Jefferson Memorial. Franciscan Monastery and the Aircraft Building. Sunday. April 10. was Easter Sunday and our class attended sunrise services at Arlington Cemetery and Franciscan Monastery. Sunday after- noon we visited Mount Vernon: Alexandria. Virginia: and the National Air- port. On Monday. April 11. we boarded Empire Travel Club's chartered coach and set out to visit the Bureau of Printing and Engraving. After seeing how our money is made, we then visited the United States Capitol Building where we were escorted to the Senate Chamber and the Chamber of the House of Representatives. Also, we visited the Library of Congress and the Supreme Court Building. Since the day was still young, some of the more athletic members of our group felt the need of some exercise so we climbed the 898 steps of the Washington Monument. Monday afternoon some of the mem- bers of our group toured Annapolis and the U. S. Naval Academy while others spent this time shopping or visiting places of individual interest. Mon. day evening found our entire class on board the S. S. Mount Vernon for a very exciting moonlight cruise on the Potomac River. On the morning of Tuesday, April 12. our group visited the Pan-Ameri- can Building, and the National Gallery of Art. At 2:00 P. M.. Tuesday. April 12. we boarded the Empire Club Special Train at Union Station and began our journey homeward. At 10:46 P.M. we arrived in Albany and our long awaited senior trip had changed from a far distant goal to one of the most cherished memories of our high school years. 20 IDENTIFICATION TABLE NAME AMBITION FAVORITE PET PEEVE FAVORITE I LL ALWAYS FAVORITE FOOD PASTIME EXPRESSION REMEMBER Flo Graduate Play my ukulele bean soup Zat So?

As her typing speed increased so did her payroll as she flew to higher positions. Within six months of this rapid ad- vancement. she flew to the highest position of acquiring a two karat diamond from that tall good looking Democratic bachelor who represents Wyoming in the United States Senate. Donna used to be Republican. Now in the position of head of the personnel department at G. E. we find Gary Winn. After serving four years in the Navy, Gary went to G. E. as an apprentice. He then worked his way up to his present position. It took Gary some time to make up his mind, as it was just last year when he chan- ged Shirley Sweener to Shirley Winn. When Wesley Sandberg graduated from B. C. S. he entered Potsdam State Teachers College. After his graduation there he worked teaching in a New York City school where his piano technique became very popular. From classrooms to small organizations, and night clubs, he now has made his de- but at Radio City. After achieving all this fame and success, he then return, ed to Berlin and now he and his wife, the former Janice Goodermote, are seen going to church every Sunday morning with their six children (who all take piano lessons) where Wesley is organ player. Janice turns pages. Back in 1955, we remember that Joan Schmich and Dean Demick were the steadies of our class. It wasn't too long after that. 1957 to be exact, that they became Mr. and Mrs. Dean was always a great Model T fan and is now known from coast to coast for his unequalled collection of cars, old and new. He has designed some cars of '75 for General Motors. After grad- uation Joan went to work here in the school office to replace Mrs. Feinberg and to make a name of her own. Joan has given up this work and devotes all of her time in caring for their small son. four and daughter, one. Immediately after graduation Janis Hakes attended Albany Business College. She then got some experience in a state office and eventually rose to be the governor’s private secretary. Incidentally, her letter writing to Philadelphia proved successful and she now has a three-year-old daughter. It was common knowledge that Walter Brown and Tom Mordsfeld among others, planned to join the service. However no one thought that they would make a life work of it. Now Walt and Tom are Nautilus the second commanders, one of the latest atomic powered subs. Here at Berlin Central, we find teaching the fifth grade. Jeannette Ford. Jeannette graduated from Oneonta State Teacher's College and taught three years in Oneonta. She now has been at B. C. S. for two years, but it is rum- ored that this year will be her last as her approaching marriage to the junior elementary teacher will require full time. Also working locally we find Calvin Agan. Cal attended Cornell Uni- versity and is now Grafton's and even the capitol district's formost forest ranger. Entering now we see Anna S. Larkin. Margaret Goodermote and Joyce Bink. Anna, who after graduation went to work with the telephone company in Albany, now has two children. Erving III. and little Anna. Out west Mag- gie is raising cowboys, or is it a baseball team? Who knows! 22 CLASS PROPHECY Joyce and Abe are very much to the contrary raising the Rockettes of '85. We all remember Evelyn Petteroe who had her heart set on joining the Navy. Immediately after graduation Evelyn joined the Navy and is now planning to make a career of it. Evelyn is wearing a large diamond given to her by a Lieutenant of the Navy. As we sit reminiscing of high school days, in walks Tom Mahoney. Tom. after serving 3 years in the Air Force returned to Grafton and enter- ed politics. Tom worked his way up from being Town Supervisor, to being Chairman of the Board of Supervisors now. Tom is happily married and has a five-year-old son who learns Tom's speeches right along with him. The class of '55 also made its contributions to the artistic fields of designing and novelty gifts. The former Nancy White opened recently her own gift shop. Nicks on New York's 5th Avenue. Back in 1959 Nancy and Chester were married and they now have a little girl who assists Nancy during the day. Upon leaving school Beverly McKinnon entered the Traphagen School of design in New York. After a few less important jobs.Bev worked her way up and got to be Denby s top designer and fashion consultant. Now, however Bev is kept busy designing clothes for her 5 children and her husband. Last, but certainly not least, enters our own class clown. Priscilla Pal- mer. Priscilla, after graduation, was discovered doing a comedy for a bene- fjt show, by a top notch producer and now is rated as the funniest and most lovable TV commedienne in the United States. Pussy also has a set of twins, boys, who look like her and are following in her very same footsteps. How many of you would have believed us if we had told you 10 years ago that all this would happen. 23 CLASS WILL We the class of 1955 of Berlin Central School, being of sound and dis- posing of mind and memory and recognizing the uncertainties of life do make public and so declare this to be our last will and testament.
