The memories of all the fun and hard work and the friendships that we have encountered will remain with us always and will serve to bring us many happy hours of reminiscing. Although we need no tangible evidence to re- mind us of Highly Seasoned , our class play, the Junior-Senior Prom of '58, our senior trip and all the fun we had as students, we have assembled this book to serve as a reminder to all those friends and ac- quaintances we leave behind as we approach our futures. We, the editors, speaking in behalf of the entire class, thank all those who have aided us in at- taining this goal, our commencement. Bette Hodges, Editor-in-Chief Sandra Lewis, Associate Editor Page 4 To our class advisor and very dear friend, Mr. Louis A. Urbano, who has aided us throughout our junior and senior years to attain the goal which is now upon us, we, the Class of 1959, wish to express our ap- preciation and heartfelt best wishes with the dedication of this, our yearbook.

As educators, much of the histo ry of the future rests in our hands as we prepare today's students to assume their position of rightful responsibility in society. I sincerely hope that our school may have been successful with the class of 1959, and that you, the graduating class, may be successful with your inherent and natural responsibilities in the years ahead.

Page 20 Awards Marilyn Gutermuth was chosen by the faculty as this year's D. A. R. Good Citizen on the basis of dependability, service, leadership, honesty and co- operation After receiving this honor, Marilyn was encouraged to submit an essay to the D. A. R. state chairman who in turn will enter it in the state com- petition, which awards a scholarship to the author of the best essay. Congratulations, Marilyn, for having been awarded the D. A. R. Good Citizen Award of B. C. S. In December, 1958, the Betty Crocker Home- making test was administered to fifteen senior girls. This was to determine the recipient of the Betty Crocker Award. Sandra Lewis, achieving the highest score, received the honor of being named Berlin's Homemaker of Tomorrow. She received a pin in re- cognition of her achievement. She also is eligible for a scholarship. Page 21 It doesn’t seem possible that it's 1959, and we're seniors about to graduate. Remember what eager, little freshmen we were in September '55? Our officers that year were: President, Bill Michaels; Vice- President, John Lawlor; Treasurer, Alan Holt; and Secretary, Bette Hodges. Boy, we were excited when we held our first dance, the Holly Hop! Then to give our funds another boost we had a food sale. Another year gone by and we were all another step up the ladder. To lead us during our Sophomore year, we chose John Lawlor as president, Taber Hadsell as vice-president, Bette Hodges as secretary and Sandra Lewis as treasurer. To start the ball rolling that year we sponsored a hayride. Then we decided that a record hop with Ernie Anderson as D. J. would be fun. To round out our activities for the year we sponsored the refreshment concession at our annual Spring Concert. At last we were upper-classmen-Juniors! Our class officers were chosen: President, Taber Hadsell; vice-president, Bruce Hewitt; secretary, Bette Hodges and treasurer, Pat Kane. We began our fund rais- ing campaign that year with a magazine drive. Since our record hop the year before was such a success, we dedided to sponsor another. Then came the happy day when our class rings, ordered the past Novem- ber, arrived! We had loads of fun taking care of refreshments once more at our Spring Concert. Our biggest project of the year was putting on the annual Junior-Senior Prom. We finally decided on the theme Twilight Time and engaged Toby Middlebrook's orchestra. At the prom Bill Michaels and Nancy Moore were chosen Prince and Princess . Then we were seniors! This year we decided we really had to work to make our dreams of Washing- ton and a yearbook come true. At our first class meeting of the year, the previous year's officers were again elected. At the same meeting we chose our yearbook staff. The first activity for the year was a food sale. Then, fun and success, we staged the comedy Highly Seasoned, as our senior play. As soon as the basketball season began, we regularly sold soda and candy at all evening functions. To gain evjsn more funds we arranged to sell stationery. All during these different activities we were feverishly plan- ning our long-awaited senior trip to Washington and our yearbook. In May we sponsored spaghetti suppers in Berlin and Stephentown. Now that it is graduation time, we can't help thinking of our funfilled high school years. Page 25 add It is the year 1969. Just ten years ago Berlin Central's greatest group of students graduated. Today we have gathered at the home of one of these graduates, the greatest doctor of science in the world, to hold our first reunion. Now entering the library is this great doctor, our own James Hager. After graduating from Harvard, Dr. Hager went to Europe to further his education. While there he discovered a method to use water as fuel for jets. Following Dr. Hager into the library is Commander William Michaels. Shortly after graduation. Bill married the Admiral's daughter and climbed the ladder to success rapidly. They are now very happy raising a fleet of their own. The next to enter is one of our five nurses. Marjorie Church. Margie devoted her life to curing all South American delinquents of the Amazon Itch. Entering now are Mr. and Mrs. Richard Chittenden. Mrs. Chittenden is, of course, the former Lisa Binck. Dick and Lisa were married soon after Dick became the star player on the Stephentown softball team. Lisa recently retired as a registered nurse to take care of their three children. Richie. Roy, and Randy. Arriving now is the brilliant member of the class, Taber Hadsell, who after graduating from college, became a dazzling young debutante. Her last movie, The Shaggy Hag called Mag” won the academy award for the most convincing and realistic performance in history. Hear those screams? They’re for Phil Sedgwick. He went to college but didn't do too well in his studies; you see he spent most of his time chasing co-eds around the campus. Phil now owns his own model agency. Entering now are our last three nurses: Marilyn Morin, Janet Wells, the former Janet Chicoine, and Carol Goodermote, the former Carol Wipfler. Janet and Marilyn are now very busy working in the same maternity ward where Carol recently gave birth to triplets numbers eight, nine, and ten. Alan Holt and Bruce Hewitt are arriving now, A1 and Bruce pooled their money to rent an airplane just for this occasion. Bruce's paintings are known all over the world, and Alan is a famous sports car driver. Perhaps you know him by the name Holt the hot-headed hotrodder. Arriving now are Marilyn Gutermuth and Mrs. Nancy Kadidlehopper Frothingham Hardwick Galsworthy Knight, the former Nancy Moore. Marilyn is a very successful music teacher in Sing Sing Prison. Nan, as you can tell, has been married five times, each time to a millionaire. All five men died mysteriously after three months of marriage. p ropkecu Pag© 26 Joining us now are the former Sandy Lewis, the former Leona Jones and the former Elise Kling. Short- ly after graduation, Sandy went to work in a bank of which she is now president. By the way, didn't you marry the ex-president's son, Sandy? Leona went to work as a private secretary for a millionaire. You have to give her some credit because she worked for three whole months before she married him. Elise attended R. P. I. for two years, then she quit to marry one of her professors. Here comes Mrs. Eugene Hangst and Mrs. George Corlew, or better know to us as Lois Anne Cure and Lynn Peluso. After graduation Lois went to work as an assistant for her uncle who owns a floral shop and waited for Gene to finish school. They have been married for seven years and have a five year old daughter, who, instead of taking an apple to her teacher everyday, takes a corsage. Lynn and George were married soon after Lynn graduated. Lynn is always very busy taking care of her eight children--all girls! The next to arrive are Lois Knuetter, Ruth Maxwell and Margie Rhodes. Lois is now Mrs. Lloyd Goodermote and the mother of three lovely children. Ruth owns and operates her own beauty salon in Paris, France, where she is known as Mademoiselle Maxwell. After graduation Margie pursued a com- plete musical career and is now playing with a nation-wide band and entertaining service men with her talents--playing the accordian. Here comes our Little Luella Richards. Luella is now a math teacher at B.C.S. and is drumming knowledge into her students heads. Gordon Kelly entered the Army shortly after graduation. While stationed at an African Army Base, a cute little mau-mau caught his eye, and they were married the very same day. Entering now is the one and only Sylvia Zwinge. You must know by now that Sylvia is a great song- stress and just recently became the star singer in the Broadway musical, My Poor Lady , which is a re- vised version of My Fair Lady”. Arriving now are Mr. and Mrs. Dennis Frank. Pat and Denny are still residing in the rock pile known as Grafton. Denny teaches driver education at B. C. S. while Pat remains home baby sitting for their two little boys. Here is the number one film star in person who is none other than Gerald Schmich. Following grad- uation, Jerry left for Hollywood where he accepted an offer to work as an understudy for the muscle-man, Mickey Hargitay. Jerry is the most sought-after bachelor in the U. S. Last, but not least to arrive, is the former class flirt, Bette Hodges. Shortly after graduation, Bette went to work as head secretary for the Sedgwick Model Agency. She left the agency to marry another graduate of B. C. S. and is now very happy. We're all together now for the first time since that memorable night ten years ago when twenty-nine nervous seniors went forward to receive diplomas. Let’s conclude this reunion by discussing old times which took place at dear ole' Berlin Central.

William Michaels, playing the harassed father of the Bradford family, is quite justified in becoming extremely angry at his daughter, Susie. Taber Hadsell, protraying this innocent teenager, produces com- plications when she decides to publish a book of her father's old love letters. Despite the understanding of Mrs. Bradford, played by Sandra Lewis. Susie's book threatens to wreck her father's professional, as well as his home, life. Extremely uncomplimentary things were said in those letters about certain people --for instance, Mr. Caxton, Mr. Bradford's boss. This part is played by Bruce Hewitt, who brings the right pompous quality to his characterization. Luella Richards, playing the part of Mrs. Bradford s mother, has always disapproved of her son-in-law; but this displeasure was greatly intensified by the books' re- velations. The old girl produces much laughter by her acid comments. To add further spice to the letters. Susie feels that the part of an old flame of her father's should be made more interesting. This flame, now an aspiring publicity-seeking actress, is played by Leona Jones, who as Julia DeVale, arrives to make the most of the notoriety of the book. The publisher of the book, played by Alan Holt, also arrives, and who should he be but a former beau of Mrs. Bradford. Bette Hodges plays another daughter in the Brad- ford family. She fears that this book has ended her romance with her current boyfriend, played by Gordon Kelly. Philip Sedgwick, as Susie's boyfriend, also presents problems. Becky Thomas, Susie's dearest friend, played by Marilyn Gutermuth, thinks the book is utterly marvelous and touching. Last but not least, is James Hager, playing the part of Junior Caxton, the boss's son. The play was directed by Mr. P. Fleishman and Mr. E. Gilcher. and the excellent set was designed by Mr. W. Stanziano, assisted by Mr. J. Konecny and Dennis Frank. Elise Kling served as stage manager and prompter and Patricia Kane as property manager. The play was a complete success and was received with gales of laughter by enthusiastic audiences at both performances.

Page 33 Washington Souvenir On Friday morning, March 27, twenty-six seniors and two chaperons left B. C.S. via Greyhound for the long anticipated annual trip to Washington, D.C. and at 6 p.m. fifty-six bright eyes caught their first glimpse of the Capitol. After twelve hours on the bus, the only city lights of this, our first night, were those we saw reflected on the ceiling as we dug deep into the blankets of our oh, so welcome beds. It was to be a short sleep because 7:30 arrived before we knew it. After breakfast we began our tour of the city in earnest. The embassies, legations, the zoo where a crowd gathered to watch the monkeys feed peanuts to Elise, Lois Anne, and Carol. Then Arlington, Lincoln Memorial and finally lunch when there was a mad dash to unscramble the shoes kicked off under the table. Then we were off to Annapolis and the U. S. Naval Academy where Bette and Leona had all the Cadets doing the sailors horn pipe and leer- ing wolfishly. After dinner we departed for a romantic moonlight cruise on the Potomac. It's a lucky thing our chaperons remembered to bring flashlights because shortly after the cruise got underway, the beautiful moonlight became hidden by a cloud. Next we stopped off at Marshall Hall amusement park where we learned why Alan, Phil, and Jerry had been saving their money. Did they really buy all the tickets for the tunnel of love? This was the night Gordon won a teddy bear and a Kewpie doll for hitting all the ducks in the shooting gallery. At last the lights dimmed, the concessions closed, the rides ground to a halt and we headed for our hotel and bed. Were Janet, Marilyn and Ruth ever glad to crawl between the sheets! Once gain our breakfast .all. It was 7:30 already and time for another guided tour. That day we saw the Bureau of Printing an4 Engraving and we noticed that Bruce had his little black bag which he hoped to fill with any old rejected or discarded currency that may have ended up in a waste basket. Then the Supreme Court building and the Library of Congress where Jim became so engrossed in some weighty tome he forgot to eat lunch. Next the White House where right about than a nice hot cup of tea with Mamie sure tasted good! In the afternoon we saw the Jefferson Monument and the Pentagon where we almost lost Margie and Lois Kneutter in the maze of corridors and offices. After that the Mount Vernon mansion and grounds. We are still wondering how Denny and Pat got lost in a rose arbor placed a distance from the grounds. Boy, it's lucky our chaperones remembered to bring along their binoculars! We soaked our feet under the dinner table and then we were on our own. Lisa and Dick took in a night baseball game and Janet, Marilyn and Ruth went to bed early after a very hectic day. We all ended this night over breakfast in the morning. On our fourth day we visited the National Museums, Washington Monument and the Franciscan Monastery. After lunch we went shopping and Nancy bought the creation of the day-- an exclusive little sack original with a Maine and Idaho all-over print in French. This was the afternoon for cold cream and curlers for the girls because we had dinner and went dancing at the glamorous Casino Royal. This was our very last, very gay night so we knew Marilyn G. and Sandy would be giggling in their lemonade and the spotlight would be singling out Taber and Bill doing a Cha Cha. Even our chaperons were dancing the jitter-bug popular in their day. We think it was called the Charleston. Marilyn. Ruth, and Janet were starting to yawn but none of us would go to bed at all and who would want breakfast after all that gingerale? After our tomato juice and black coffee we had the morning for taking a long farewell look, and we knew Sylvia would need help unloading her shopping bag of last-minute souvenirs. A quiet lunch and then all aboard for home at 1:00 pm.. For twelve long, restful, shoeless hours the motor purred, the wheels hummed and gentle snores emanated from twenty-six sleepy seniors and two exhausted chaperons. It was over and in the past, but our unforgettable Washington trip will always be a happy memory. Page 34 Left to right, ROW 1: E. Kling, P. Kane, B. Hodges, T. Hadsell, B. Hewitt, S. Zwinge, S.

For the school years of 1958 and 1959, we had only one cheerleading squad. However, this group of girls made up for two squads. With the help of Miss V. Wootten, the girls practiced hard and cheered our team on to numberous victories. All of their hard work paid off as they gave some very exciting performances on game nights. With girls like these cheering them on. how could any team go wrong? Pag® 54 Left to right, Sitting: Gerald Schmich, Richard Agan, Philip Sedgwick, Richard Chittenden, Dwight Beck, George Corlew.
