Page six NINETEEN THIRTY-SEVEN THE ORIOLE EDITORIAL OpEN-MINDEDNESS is needed in the world today as never before. It is a quality which requires a mental attitude capable of carefully considering all important questions until an intelligent opinión can be formulated. Because of the ease with which the dissemination of propaganda is possible at the present time, a fair and unbiased opinión becomes increasingly difficult. Movies, newspapers, magazines, and the radio constantly present material skillfully devised to sway public feeling. Very often our opinions are based on beliefs which we accept without investiga- tion. We trust to personal impressions; we bow to authority; we “follow the crowd.” We too willingly continué with oíd ideas rather than experiment with new ones. However, we must remember that open-mindedness does not imply the accep- tance of every new theory or every new idea. It does require us to give a fair trial to the new without rejecting all that is oíd. It demands that we accept facts only upon verification. In all phases of life you will find it difficult to develop the hab.it of weighing both sides of a question before arriving at a conclusión. In the business world you will discover that it is easier to adopt many practices and policies just because others follow them, not because they are the best ones. In political affairs you will learn that it requires less effort to accept the prevailing beliefs of the majority than to study the problems critically with the idea of considering fairly all merits and defects. In fact, in whatever activities you will enter, you will perceive that a mind closed to new views furnishes a path of least resistance. Open-mindedness will not bring to you complacency or peace of mind. It will forcé you to take a larger view of everything which, in turn, will make you less didactic and less sure of your opinions. It will compel you to search continuously for whatever truth there is. It will make you favorably disposed to change. With¬ out change there is no progress. Therein lies your challenge—to advance with open minds, unhampered by pre- judice and strong in purpose. —Gladys E. Newell. Page seven BOARD OF EDUCATION Sidney F.Welsh, Heth G.

Bill Peters Page twenty-three THE ORIOLE NIN ETEEN THIRTY-SEVEN CLASS HISTORY T nouGH vitally important, a class history seldom attracts attention. Nevertheless, it is a requirement when the Sénior year has been completed. Entering as Freshmen, there were sixty-nine in the class, and, with additions, seventy-four have completed the full four-year course. Among the ranks are sev- eral honor students, others who have upheld the school record in athletics, dra- matics, debating, music, and art, and, most essential of all, the many dependahles who alvvays conformed to all school laws and regulations and supported all activi- ties financially, hesides showing true “school spirit.” Our Sophomore year was spent quietly, the “Hop” being the one outstanding social event. However, the records report a few minor events; such as: class meetings, contributions to the circus, and athletic events. By the time our Júnior year rolled around, we were quite prepared to launch important social activities. During the entire year we sponsored the popular Fri- day afternoon tea dances. The circus of ’36 was entirely in our charge and proved a great responsibility as well as a credit to our workers. The final and happiest. event was the Júnior Prom. This was held in the gym, which had been magically transformed into a roof garden. Pleasant memories of this occasion will always linger with us. As the responsibilities and dignity of Seniors descended upon us, many tasks and obligations presented themselves. Breaking away from tradition, we elected a girl president. Class meetings were more frequent and many vital nratters carne up for discussion and passage. Social events included a sport dance, the Oriole “Hop,” tea dances, and as a grand filíale, the Sénior Ball. Following the established custom, the class of ’3 7 will add a tree to the Sénior Row. The class of ’37 marks a distinctive milestone in the history of the Bethlehem Central High School. It is the first class to have completed the full four-year course in the new building. To our ever patient and helpful teachers we are sincerely grateful for their aid in enriching our living. They have helped us lay the foundation stones of our edu- cation, and shown us the valué of self control and the joy of Service. Doris E. Sahloff.

First: Harold Shultz and Larry McNeil bequeath their uncanny long shots to “Ozzie,’’ our new blond gigolo and future basketball hero. Second: Don Smith and Dave Tiedeman leave their A-l report cards and back homework papers to Don Buckley. Does he need them! Third: “Izzy” Buchaca hereby gives, devises, and bequeaths her Gracie Alien complex and ingenious punmaking to Dot Pinkerton. We’re sure Dot will go to town!

Seventh: To Alice Porter, Anna Mae Morrison leaves the monopoly on our girls’ gym instructress.

In witness thereof, the Sénior Class have herewith set their hand and affixed their seal this 14th day of April, in the year, one thousand nine hundred and thirty-seven. Witnesses: Miss Gladys Newell Mr. Heth G. Coons AIary Stodart Naomi M. Whadcook Page tiventy-seven — .—.— - - - — NINETEEN THIRTY-SEVEN THE ORIOLE U-PUN MY WORD! One day we all went out to Green Lake on a picnic. On the way Mar- lin ran out of gas, so he pulled his beautiful blue car up to a gas station and told the attendant to Fuller up. Since it was Good Gulf, it was Walworth the Price. We went on North. When we got there, we all went swimming. Marie said not to Lashcr, because the curl would all come out of her hair, but we thought this was Vera funnv ' cause Rhcnow she has a permanent. Howie stoocl on the Marge-’m with all his clothes on, and, of course, fell in head over heels. Everyone said it was just like him, but he didn ' t give Adam (s). After a while we all carne out and got dressed. The boys looked very Manlef in their white ducks, although Rog had a red and green striped sweater on, but then, as Smitty says, “lotsa Menges wrong.” We were all very hungry, but nobody knew what to do with all the raw meat hanging around. Naomi said she Whadcook it, ’cause she knew Don didn’t Cookc so hot. We all had to do our share and “Lizzie” said that was all right with her, because her motto is Given take, anyway. “Andv” helped a lot, too. You know, he’s a Crear guy, but sometimes he certainly is a Saint. When “Namy” told us supper was ready, we said, “Hogy, toots!” and were quick in Cumming(s). Food never Fales to draw a crowd, and few people want to “Chuck” their meáis for anything else. Jane was first in line for the hamburger, and said, “Hurry up and Gibson to me!” Soon we’d all had our Phil. Mary Stodart her fifteenth hamburger, but couldn’t finish it. Most of us felt we couldn’t look another hot Barkcr in the face, so we all turned our Baxter the tire. Some turnee! Wright towarcl the Paddock from whence they had heard a Winne. Others wandered off into the darkness to Larry awhile together, ’tho a few returned to sit around the fire and bandy Woerts. Because of Purdue, Martha was a Marty-r to the cause and wished she had a Hcnkie. You Mayer may not like this, but you know it isn’t Truitt, and we Newell it all the time, or Ellis we Coon ' t have printed it. Page twenty-nine THE ORIOLE NINETEEN THIRTY-SEVEN CLASS OF 38 A bigger and better circus was the result of the great amount of energy expended by our class on this annual Júnior project. Also the annual Júnior Prom proved to be one that vvill long be remembered as a delightful social affair. This year the class officers were: President .The Late John Osterhout Vice-President .Richard MacDonald Secretary .Florence Hallenbeck Treasurer .Mildred Rowe Studcnt Council Represcntative .William Schoonmaker We deeply regret the loss of John Osterhout who guided us, as class president, through many months of an eventful Júnior year. Page thirty NINETEEN TH I RTY-SEVEN THE O R I O L E CLASS OF ' 39 The Class of ’39 has had a thoroughly enjoyable and successful year. The Soph- omore Hop, which was held in the middle of December, was a great success, thanks to the cooperation of everyone. We have been active in sports, Glee Club, Student Association, Orchestra, and all other school activities. The officers of the year were as follows: President .Merwin Freeman Vice-President .Nelson Isdell Secretary .Lynnette Tripp Treasurer .Dorotiiy Baird Student Council Representative .Alex Gabriels Page thirty-one NINETEEN THI RTY-SEVEN THE ORIOLE CLASS OF ' 40 The Class of ’40 held the second annual Freshman dance and it was very suc- cessful. We have participated in many sports during the year, and we have come out surprisingly well, considering the reputation Freshmen have attached to them. The following held offices during the year: President .. Arthur P!rue Vice-President . Betty Barker Secretary . Marión Snook Treasurer . Arlene Slauson Student Council Representative . Adelaide Saint Page thirty-two NINETEEN THIRTY-SEVEN THE ORIOLE CLASS OF ' 41 The Eighth Grade has been very enthusiastic about sports this year. We have been particularly interested in basketball and have shown our interest by our at- tendance at school functions. With the expansión of this school loyalty in the coming years, the class of ’41 is sure to do worthwhile things for B. C. H. S. The class officers are as follows: President .Thomas Barrer Vice-President .Donald McGuirk Secretary .Jean Tiedeman Treasurer .Deane Phillips Student Council Representadme . Harry Swarthout Page thirty-three NINETEEN THI RTY-SEVEN THE ORIOLE CLASS OF ' 42 We, the Class of ’42, have tried to show some school spirit by giving a class party in March which was a great success, and, also, in taking part in making the circus successful. We hope that next year we may take a bigger and better part in the school’s activities. The class officers are: Prcsident . Jack Adams Vice-President . Tiiomas Ottman Secretary . Wjlliam Goewey Treasurer . Robert Shaw Student Council Represcntative . John Gabriels Page thirty-four NINETEEN THIRTY-SEVEN THE ORIOLE WHAT WE ' D LIKE TO SEE 1. Don Smith in the Senate. 2.

DEPUTIES The point System, by which the girls earn their letters, has been verv successful. This method of earning letters was introduced by Miss Kinney two years ago, and already many girls have earned their letters. To become a deputy, the girls must earn at least 500 points. The awards.for earning 1,000 points are as follows: lst year, a 6-inch orange and black chenille “B ; 2nd year, a silver pin with the initial “B” in black; 3rd year, a gold charm with a black “B”; 4th year, a school seal. The deputies are proud of their work this year. They’ve sponsored two B. C. H. S. roller skating parties which were attended by at least 100 students each time. Thev also had a concession at the annual circus. The money was used to pav for a bus, which was used for the girls’ basketball team. Page thirty-six GIRLS ' BASKETBALL Under Miss Kinney’s excellent coaching and captain Anna Mae Morrrson’s leadership, the girls’ varsity had a very successful season. To follow the custom started last year, the girls played hostess to the Stamford girls who met defeat on our court by a score of 22-18. When the Bethlehem girls went to Stamford, they vvere defeated by a score of 34-21. On January 10, the Bethlehem girls entertained five other schools in a basketball playday. A “round robin” was staged and, when the scores were added, the Beth¬ lehem girls found that they had won their own playday. Although five Seniors will be lost by graduation, next year’s team will have a large nucleus about which to build another strong team. Page thirty-seven THE ORIOLE NINETEEN THIRTY-SEVEN CHEERLEADING The Cheerleading and songleading has been very much better this year than during previous years. The cheerleaders turned out in full £or every home game and took turas in going to the out-of-town games. The cheerleaders were: Lois Hafley, Clara Youmans, Eleanor Humphrey, Phil Engel, Peg Adams, and Jane Goewey. The songleaders were: Anna Mae Morrison and Dot Adams. Page thirty-eight NINETEEN THIRTY-SEVEN THE ORIOLE RLS ' HOCKEY Although only a few games were scheduled for the hockey team, captained by Mildred Rowe, they had a very successful season. The Bethlehem girls played one game at home with Cobleskill and a return game on the Cobleskill field, winning the first and losing the latter. The team was one of many teams to be invited to a hockey playday at Mont Pleasant High School. A bus was chartered which went into Milne High School and picked up the Milne girls. The last two games of the season were played against Milne. Again Bethlehem won the home game and lost the return game on the opponents’ field. Page thirty-nine THE ORIOLE NINETEEN THIRTY-SEVEN OTHER SPORTS GIRLS ' INTRAMURAL The Gires’ Intramural Games have aroused a great deal of school spirit this year. In intramural basketball the Seniors won the championship for the second year, while the Juniors won second place. The baseball, tennis, archery, and track teams were organized and enjoyed a successful season. BOYS ' INTRAMURAL Boys’ Intramural Sports were very popular again this year. They started off with a touch football league. Next carne basketball with two leagues and sixteen teams. Bowling for the second year had six teams. Two ping-pong tournaments during the winter added much ínteres!. Also, intramural softball leagues were formed. A plaque has been donated by Mr. Harvey Masón who has always been inter- ested in boys’ athletics at B. C. H. S. The ñame of the winner of the “All-arounds,” consisting of three track and three field events, will be engraved on the plaque each year. GIRLS ' BOWLING Tite nut league’s five highest bowlers, Doris Wilcox, Florence Hehre, Dorothv Bennett, Anua Mae Morrison, and Alice Porter, won all of their matches with Al- bany High, Johnstown, and Altamont. The girls, under the capable direction of Miss Estelle Wilson, have mastered the art of bowling and are a credit to Miss YVilson’s coaching. BOYS ' BOWLING The Varsitv Bowling Team gave the other teams in the Central Hudson Valley League a good fight. They also gave Altamont a good battle later in the season for second place but lost out by one game. Mr. McCord’s loyalty to the team throughout the season has been greatly ap- preciated. GOLF Gole, since it started here two years ago, has been handicapped by not having a place to practice. Consequentlv, the teams have had a difficult time, but we hope that Mr. McFarland’s group will have good luck this season. Page forty NINETEEN TH I RTY-SEVEN THE ORIOLE BASKETBALL This year’s basketball team worked hard and was rewarded with one o£ the besl seasons it has had in several years. Again, under the guiding hand of Coach But- terfield, the team conquered the teams of its own classification and a few out of its class. During the season the team appreciated the opportunity to play for the Elks’ Benefit and enjoyed its trip down the river to play Raymond Riordan Prep School and to visit West Point. LETTER MEN Engel, Capt. Buckley Hotaling Tiedeman Crear Fuller Smith Schultz Winne, Mgr.

With seven lettermen remaining from last vear’s team and the necessary vacancies filled, Mr. Hritz has reason to feel optimistic. Last year the team tied for first place in the League and received a trophy. This year they hope to do still better and win un- disputed possession of first place. Schultz, Capt.

The team last year lost only one meet which was by two points to the Academy. It won permanent possession of the Academy Invitation Meet Cup, along with the Central School Meet Trophies, and the Eastern New York State Public School Class D Trophy. Although this year’s team will have to get along without some of last year’s stars, prospects are bright. TEAM MEMBERS Rhenow, Capt.

Its schedule included the best teams in the Capítol District. Snook and Yeomans were sent to Boston for the Interscholastic National Doubles and Snook was sent to Forest Hills for the National Singles. With Captain-elect Whitney, Menges, and Walters remaining from last year’s team, this season promises to be a successful one. Page forty-four NINETEEN THIRTY-SEVEN THE ORIOLE SOCCER We had a large nucleus to begin with this year, but because we had lost our key defense men of the year before and failed to find any experienced men to take their places, this year ' s team wasn’t up to par.

Many organizations may well thank the Student Council for its support. Out of the treasurv of the Council comes money for the support of both boys’ and girls’ athletic teams, the commercial team, debating team, and many other organizations. Besides financing student activities, the Council has many other duties. Chief among these is the sponsoring of dancing classes, the regulation of clubs, the financ¬ ing of the annual circus, supervising assembly programs, and making any laws for the benefit of the student. The members of the Council are elected by the students, and each one elected certainly feels the importance of his position. We hope that next year ' s Council will meet with as much success as this year’s has. Page forty-seven NINETEEN THIRTY-SEVEN THE ORIOLE HOMEROOM COUNCIL The Homeroom Council was first organized in 1935 for the purpose of solving the problems that occur in the homerooms and settling less important matters that take place in the classroom. The Homeroom Council was re-organized this year and elected as officers: President, Dorothy Adams; Secretary, Jane Goewey; Student Council Representa- tive. Bruce Haviland. During the year the Homeroom Council secured several speakers who addressed the students on various vocational topics. The Council has given two tea dances this spring and has tried to promote school spirit by encouraging interest in matters directly affecting the students of the school. Page forty-eight NINETEEN TH I RTY-SEVEN THE ORIOLE Profiting by three years’ experience, the 1937 circus proved to be the outstand- ing student event of the year. The cooperation of Mr. Coons, the faculty, the com- mittee, and participants cannot be overestimated in evaluating the event. Following the custom of previous years the circus chairmen were chosen from the Júnior class while their assistants were Sophomores. In this manner experi- enced students arrange the circus program each year. Page forty-nine THE ORIOLE NINETEEN THIRTY-SEVEN WHAT WOULD HAPPEN IF— 1. “Midge” and “Dave” ever fought? 2.

The chorus presented a Christmas program, sang for the Progress Club of Del- mar, appeared twice in assemhly, and presented a spring concert in May. Members of the club who were featured in the concerts were Francés Keelan, Jane Ketchum, The Central Trio, and a men’s quartet. Accompanists were Clara Yeomans and Edward King. In May the chorus participated in a Music Festival in Cobleskill. Six schools entered, demonstrating the spreading interest in music in the schools. Page fifty-one THE O R NINETEEN THI RTY-SEVEN I O L E ORCHESTRA The School Orchestra has had another successful year under the baton of Cari S. Baumbach. Although the orchestra lost some of its best members last year, new recruits have ably filled their places. The Christmas Concert was a success, and, according to reports, the broadcast over Station WOKO was even better. Participation in the Spring Concert and the Musie Festival at Cobleskill afforded excellent experience.

The club is deeply indebted to Mr. Newkirk for bis able assistance and direction.

Page fifty-nine THE ORIOLE NINETEEN TH I RTY-SEVEN CLASS PROPHECY June 16, 1952 Dear Miss Newell, Since you have been away from Delmar so long, ñlling that noble position of Secretary of State at Washington, Ed Bennett and I thought maybe you would like to hear about some of your students from the Class of 193 7. On a recent trip to Del¬ mar, we found quite a change had taken place since the days when we attended school there. Although we haven’t yet succeeded in obtaining positions as high as yours, we have been quite successful. On our way from New York to Delmar by plañe we found that Clara Montysko was our aviatrix and Vera Lasher our stewardess. Engaging Vera in conversation, who, by the way, is the same as ever, we learned that the plañe in which we were flying had been designed and built by the concern now owned by Bruce Haviland, Jack Baxter, and Ted Price. Upon arriving at the Delmar Airport, it was necessary to hire a taxi to reach the now thriving metrópolis of Delmar. At the airport’s administraron office we found Gladys Brownell working as the manager’s secretary. She told us that we ought to patronize our oíd friend, Charles Walworth, who now owned the taxi company and subway of Delmar. She also added that the subway had been built by Don Smith and Alien Patterson, who were now famous engineers. While waiting for the taxi to arrive we noticed many travel posters which bore the signature of Bob Barker,. Our taxi driver, upon arrival, proved to be Robert Rhenow, who told us that Delmar had grown to such proportions since we graduated that it was hardly recognizable. At this our curiosity got the best of us and, upon our request, he started to drive around so we could become acquainted with the city. No sooner had we started than a big commotion originated behind us and Roger Menges went whizzing by in a big red car. We thought at first he was chasing a woman, but it turned out that he was the fire chief now and was only chasing a fíame. As we were riding along, sud- denly Graham Hartzell carne into sight, showing off his Merchant Marine uniform in front of a beauty parlor owned by Adwilda Morrison. Asking Bob to stop, we hailed Graham. In the ensuing conversation he suggested showing us around. His offer was gratefully accepted. When he informed us that Don Cooke was in the hospital as the result of an auto race, we decided to go and visit him at the new Del¬ mar Hospital. On entering, we saw Doris Paddock behind the information desk. She gave us visiting cards, on the back of which appeared the ñame of Dave Tiede- man as head of the hospital. Donny was glad to see us again and said he wasn ' t having such a bad time with all the pretty nurses around and with Jimmie Mayer as his doctor. To our great delight he told us that Dot Adams, Vivían Carpenter, Jane Hafley, Florence Hehre, and Naomi Whadcook were all employed there as nurses and that Martha Jaquet was there as psychiatrist. Much to our surprise, we found Bill Laremore in the other bed in the room with Donny. Bill had broken his leg while trying to get out of the way of a car driven by George Harrig. However, we Page sixty NINETEEN THIRTY-SEVEN THE ORIOLE were pleased upon learning that his leg would heal all right, for it had been set by Marian Van Woert, now an eminent surgeon. Next we visited the new sénior high school where Mary Ellen Gillett appeared in the capacity of principal vvith Marie Hotaling and Isabel Buchaca as her secretaries. On talking with her, she informed us that many of our classmates held faculty posi- tions here. Marian Johnson was now math teacher; Eloise Paddock was in charge of the music department; Douglas Manley and Given Hynds were Science teachers ; Doris Sahloff and Mary Cady were in the homemaking department; Anna Mae Mor- rison was head of girls’ athletics, while Ralph Crear, as boys’ coach, was learning that everything wasn’t “smooth sailing.” Our oíd advisor, Mr. Coons, put in a mo- mentary appearance, and Mary told us that he was now supervisor of all the schools of New York State. After leavingthe school we decided to attend the Cary Theatre that had been built by Harold Kelp and was owned by Francis Tatro. We found Louise Phillips as fea- tured ballet dancer, and Francés Inman, a famous opera star, in the picture, and learned that Jean Van Hoven, Marian Pales, and Marie Arnold were in charge of settings, with Elizabeth Chamberlain in charge of costumes. In the news reel, Mar- lin Fuller put in an appearance as the home run king in the National League. We al so found that Jack Glover had just finished designing a new submarine for the navy. At the exit of the theatre appeared an advertisement for the theatre ' s next picture in which Mary Stodart was featured. On the way to our hotel we saw Harold Schultz working on a telephone line. A little farther on we carne upon a church where Jane Cummings was minister and, farther yet, the home of George Mosall, mortician. We also passed one of Howie Engel’s chain stores, and Graham told me that Eester Youmans was his accountant and Elizabeth Hotaling his secretary. Opon arriving at the hotel, we bid goodbye to Graham and went into the hotel. Here the clerk told us that we still had a half hour before the dining room would open, so we purchasecl several copies of the Delmar Evening Star to read while waiting. By chance our glance happened to fall on a list of those people from Delmar who were leaving on the “Normandie” to spend a month’s vacation in France. Much to our amazement and pleasure we found that this list contained the ñames of sixteen of our classmates who had formed a tour to visit points of interest in Europe. It in- cluded Louis Donato, Charles Gilí, Virginia Gilí, Wilbur Groesbeck, Charles Her- rick. Gorden Herwig, Marian Hogancamp, Marguerite Jacobson, Kirby Jenson, Francés Kimball, Dorothy Mclntyre, George Rogers, Ted Smallman, John Winne, Charlotte Wright. and Larry McNeil. As we entered the dining room, we realized that we had met or heard about every one of the Class of ’37. All of them seemed to be making their way in the world, and it was with great pleasure that we thought over the accomplishments of this class of which we are so proud to be a part. As ever, Marjorie Den man and Edward Bennett.

WANTED: 593 Employees During 1936, the ABC plan of balanced education resulted in 593 calis to the College Employment Department from business employers. And trained graduates were available for only 85% of these well-paying per- manent positions. During 1937, an average of better than two employment calis a day has been maintained. Even with an increased number of graduates, the Em¬ ployment Department is experiencing difficulty in filling the demand.

Unlike football, baseball and many of the sports in the school curriculum, this game in¬ creases in fascination as the years go on. A proper foundation for the game in early youth will add many years of enjoyment to its participants. • A clean sport, bowling has the distinctive attraction of being at one and the same time an amusement, a recreation and a health-builder of acknowl- edged merit. Its worth as an upbuilder of the physique is undoubted. It exercises practically all of the muscles and is a game that can be played all the year around. • The benefits derived are manifold. It develops character, poise, concen- tration, self-control, confidence in one’s self and co-ordination of mind and body — all good attributes that a comprehensive educational pro- gram strives to develop. Bowling is just as intricate and calis for just as much technique as any other game of skill, so both physical and mental stimulation are secured — a combination which is ideal in sport. • Bowling is used as a competitive endeavor by nearly all business organiza- tions, clubs and fraternal groups, and the boy or girl who learns the fundamentáis of bowling can take a place in these groups to advantage. • Built on foundations of sportsmanship and good-fellowship, participated in by boys, girls, men and women of all ages, shapes and sizes, and even by those suffering with minor physical defects, the popularity of bowT ing has grown so that at the present time in the United States alone more than seven million people are devotees of this healthful recreation. • The organizaron of Bethlehem Academy is glad to co-operate in the school physical education program.
