There our teachers help to acquaint us with many phases of human knowledge—-fine arts, mathematics, languages, social sciences. Our studies in all fields are aimed toward one common goal—to equip us to live happy and useful lives. Administration... When people think of school employees, they naturally think of teachers first, but just as in¬ dispensable to the life of the students at Central are the members of the administration department. The principal and counselors aid us in meeting many of the problems which we find during the school day. Al¬ most every student is grateful to either Mr. Springmann, Mr. Schuster, Miss Taylor, and Mr. Above: Mr. Martin A. Heifer, the able new superintendent of schools, has successfully completed his first year in Binghamton. Below: Our principal, Mr. Edward T. Springmann, patiently talks over Joan Knickerbocker ' s senior schedule with her. Page Eight Page Nine Above: Mr. Richard L. Schuster, Soph, and Jr. Boys ' Counselor, makes a last minute phone call to check on one of his pupil ' s program. Center: Mr. Space Sr. counselor, fills out transcripts for college applications. Below: Miss Marion Taylor, Soph, and Jr. girls ' counselor, wears a pleasant smile while tending to some of her mani¬ fold tasks. Space for some good advice. The principal, Mr. Springmann, acts as the power behind the school that makes things run smoothly. He is responsible for coordinating all the branches of school life. The principal and counselors have been valuable friends and advisors to many students at Central and cer¬ tainly have done their best for the school and its students.

Page Eleven Science Mr. Grace, of the Science Department, is ex¬ plaining the process of distilling water. James Allen, Julia Speerbeck and Carolyn Ross listen attentively to learn about the world in which they live. The lab period acts as a means of making science alive because it is there that students apply what they have learned in their chemistry and physics textbooks. Norman Foster is practicing giv¬ ing a humorous speech in front of an appreciative audience, his English class. English is one of the subjects taught in Central which gives the pupil a wonder¬ ful chance to develop his tal¬ ents. His speaking talent may be advanced through speeches which are often one of the reg¬ ular assignments. His writing ability may be greatly aided by the writing of compositions and the criticism which the teacher gives of his work. But the main ability which a student de¬ velops through this study is the talent for appreciation. By read¬ ing and studying a great deal of the world ' s best prose, poetry, and drama and through regular book reports the student learns to understand and enjoy all kinds of literature. Page Twelve 1 m ’ « Aviation As the world becomes more air- minded, we find an increasing interest in aviation on thq part of Central students. Of bourse the field of aviation is complex and involved, but in the short time permitted students are ac¬ quainted with the principles of flying, weather, the structure of the plane, geography, and the lingo of an aviator. Mr. Emer¬ son Bateman directs this fasci¬ nating class, which is open to all Central students. At present both boys and girls enjoy these lessons. The class has been on tours of Links Aviation Co. and the Triple Cities Airport. Keep¬ ing abreast of the latest aviation news and experiments, these students are preparing to be an important part of the air-age. Page Thirteen Homemaking Homemaking girls are experimenting in putting the finishing touches on a dress which one of the girls has just made. Miss Dagmar Wulff looks on to advise. In addition to sewing, home¬ making courses provide expert training in child care, cooking, and interior decorating. Page Fourteen Social Studies Marjorie Stewart points out a remote place on the globe to fellow classmates. The history classroom is similar to a model United Nations, for it is here that students are con¬ stantly exchanging ideas and opinions. Ancient history, Amer¬ ican history, and World Prob¬ lems compose the entire t hree- year history course. More im¬ portant even than learning definite facts is the stimulation to think things out for oneself and to respect the other man ' s opinion. Languages George Gitlitz, Marilyn Arwine and Addison Keeler are read¬ ing a letter which has just been received from a girl in France. The language department, un¬ der the head of Miss Loretta Murphy teaches the students not only French, German, Latin, and Spanish, but also the back¬ grounds of the different nations: their customs, history, etc. To¬ day, more than ever, as the world becomes smaller and smaller, it is becoming more and more necessary to know our fellowmen. Mathematics Margaret Bartlett, Nelson Man- sour, and Janet Conklin are en¬ grossed in trying to prove that CE equals AB. All students tak¬ ing the college course must take a certain amount of mathe¬ matics. The particular subjects in this field at Central are plane and solid geometry, intermedi¬ ate and advanced algebra, and trigonometry. These studies of¬ fer an excellent background for the student who is taking up specialized work in the field and serve to aid the logic and clear thinking of the regular student. Art A group of students are eval¬ uating art work which they have just completed. The Art Department is once again un¬ der the capable direction of Miss Grace Holcomb, who spent a year as an exchange teacher in England. Under her super¬ vision, classes composed of stu¬ dents who wish to make art their career, and others who are merely interested in art as a hobby, learn the basic prin¬ ciples of design, representation, and classic art. Page Fifteen m; •A ' t ' m v r Page Sixteen Music Robert Dowd, Kenneth Crerar, Donald Esta- brook, and Donald Moran are having their hear¬ ing tested at the Health Fair. The health course includes both physical and mental health. Problems, complexes, and emo¬ tional difficulties are talked over; the eyes, ears, and nose are studied in detail along with other parts of the body. The health course, under the direction of Miss Bloom, combines the text¬ book with the practical side of health. Kathy Hardy, Nelson Dunham, and Helen Taylor, members of the string trio, practice for a pro¬ gram that they will present. Music classes are valuable not only for those who are inter¬ ested in music as a career, but also to those who like music as a hobby Health Commercial Joan Jankewiez and Mary Free- bern practice taking an assign¬ ment which must be typed. Modem business machines ex¬ cellent teacher, and a thorough extensive course have made Central ' s Commercial Depart¬ ment outstanding. Central pu¬ pils can choose from a wide field which includes arithmetic, business law, bookkeeping, typ¬ ing, shorthand, salesmanship, and business management. Industrial Jo e Snopek and Gerald Krise are being taught the art of running a printing press. The strange noises you sometimes hear coming from the basement of Central are the noises made by the Industrial Department. In this de¬ partment, students learn the intricacies of autos, lathes and other kinds of machinery, mechan¬ ical drawing, and the printing trade. . Page Seventeen Driving Devoting two class periods a week to studying driving tech¬ niques and laws, this driving class will soon be ready to take over the U. S. highways. Each student spends twenty minutes a day at the wheel under the watchful eye of Mr. Fred Hawk. Physical Ed. In Physical Education classes boys are given exercises to build their bodies. They also take part in such sports as basketball, baseball, track and volleyball.

The handle that turns the life of Central is General Organiza¬ tion. Under the capable guid¬ ance of Mr. John Guley, G.O. has participated in many ac¬ tivities. With the fall- terms of¬ ficers: Harry Kradjian, Presi¬ dent; Roy Auchinachie, Vice President; Marie Kratochvil, Secretary, and James Bennett, Treasurer, a variety of pro¬ grams was sponsored. Central ' s three mascoteers were chosen by G. O. The big day of the term was Papa Central Day (the time when all Centralites ap¬ pear clad in dungarees and plaid shirts.) G. O. provides for electing a Papa Central, the character who has become an important tradition in school life. During the football season G. O. sponsored a joint dance with North High. At Christmas the glittering tree found in the Main corridor was also a prod¬ uct of G. O. The spring term found a change in officers, and the election re¬ sults showed that the girls out¬ numbered the boys three to one. Following a spirited campaign, Helen Margolis was elected the first girl president in the history General Organization...

Lively sessions were held in Room 119 on the first and third Monday of each month to plan activities for the term.In ord er to stimulate school spirit and encourage the stu¬ dents to feel that Central was really their school, those inter¬ ested were invited to attend a G. O. meeting, and a box for suggestions was placed on the Hostess desk. At the opening of the spring term, committees were eagerly worjcing on the following projects: drawing up a new constitution that could be workable, securing bicycle racks, adopting a foreign school, improving conditions in the lounge during noon, arranging a big event for the entire school during the spring term, and pub¬ lishing handbooks containing all that students and faculty should know concerning Cen¬ tral. Certainly there is no organiza¬ tion which can help to prepare students for active participation in a democracy so much as General Organization.

You see Mr. Grace, the faculty advisor, has most of the members of the Pan Annual Staff placed in that homeroom in order to make the problem of getting in touch with them much simpler. Almost every day something con¬ cerning the annual is going on. If you look in early in the fall term you will most likely see the planning board working out the basic framework for the yearbook. As the year progresses you will hear in the homeroom talk of various assignments which have been given the editorial, business, and photographic staffs. Later, comes the handing in of these assignments, and then accomplishment sheets for the graduates. All the jobs are finally completed and the yearbook, such as the one you now hold, reaches your hand. There, briefly, you have the evolution of the Annual. All the Annual staff, both in and out of 310, work together (and have a lot of fun doing it) to make the yearbook truly an interesting and diverting picture of school life during the year.

The forty members of Honor So¬ ciety have achieved one of the highest honors in Central. They have been accepted as mem¬ bers of Honor Society. To be eligible, a student must have at least two awards in one field. Preference is given to those with more than two awards, and seri¬ ous consideration is given to a person ' s character, personality, attitude, and interest in school life. A maximum number of twenty-four senior A ' s and eight Senior B ' s may be accepted each term, with a total of eight in each of the four fields—Fine Arts, Scholarship, Athletics, and School Service.

A candlelight cere¬ mony was conducted during the spring term followed by a reception for parents and friends of the new members and the faculty. In addition to sponsoring the four assemblies, Honor Society played an active part in carry¬ ing on the campaign to raise money for new band uniforms. Mr. Richard L.

About three or four times a term a notice reading something like this appears in the daily bulle¬ tin: Pan Newspaper will be sold tomorrow in homeroom. Don ' t forget your nickel! That ' s good news to most Central students, for it means that on the next day, they will be able to read all the news about the people and events at school. Most of us I am sure read the paper from cover to cover. We enjoy the gossip column and Jose ' s sports news. The opinions of our fellow students expressed in the opinion column interest us. The photographs and the draw¬ ings are other diverting features of the Pan. This year ' s staff, under the leadership of Miss Helen Cusik faculty advisor, and Anna Mae Ryan and Phyllis Allen, Fall and Spring editors respectively, has made each edition of the paper an excellent report of school life, both in and out of the classroom. All the regular items plus the many incidental features of each edition helped to make us all feel that the Pan Newspaper was well worth a nickel and more.

Our Junior Red Cross Council is made up of representatives from all the homerooms whose purpose it is to lead the school in the humanitarian services performed by the International Junior Red Cross. Under the ac¬ tive leadership of Miss Caroline Wadsworth, faculty advisor, Eleanor Kozak, and Elizabeth Stuart, the council has carried on its varied annual program with a great deal of interest and a good measure of success. Central packed more gift boxes than any other school in the county, for which there was great satisfaction when a letter of thanks was received from an Italian girl. The council and Art Department brightened the holiday trays of veterans in the Bath Hospital with 130 menu covers. It was for the benefit of the veterans, too, that a knitted afghan was prepared. This organization, then, mani¬ fests Central ' s spirit of gener¬ osity, working in its small but significant way toward a hap¬ pier world for all.

Lit Club is one of the few or¬ ganizations in Central open only to the females of the school. The girls meet each week with their lively advisor, Miss Constance Gantley to dis¬ cuss art, literature, and music. Actually Lit Club participates in a great variety of activities, all hitting on some phase of culture. Interest was added to the meetings by the guest speakers, Miss Grace Holcolm and Mr. James P. Kavanaugh. Miss Holcolm, our exchange teacher to England, created such interest that many Lit Club members are now correspond¬ ing with students in England. The highlights of the year were the two impressive initiations, the banquets for the graduates, and the annual assembly. Each term Lit Club accepts new mem¬ bers to take the place of those who graduate. These new girls first must go through an eve¬ ning of pledging in which they memorize lines from a play or poem and act them out. At the end of each term Lit Club uses the money it has made on sand¬ wich sales and magazine sub¬ scriptions to have a big dinner honoring all the graduates. Betty Cullen and Marie Polizotto administer the Lit Club ritual at the semi-annual initiation.

Joan Baldwin, as Joan of Lorraine, portrays Joan ' s dedication of her armor. Although the audience is settling down in their seats before the curtain, behind it there is chaos and confusion. Everyone is wish¬ ing everyone else good luck, and we hear other bits of con¬ versation such as Where ' s that prop? and Will you please let me finish my line tonight before you start yours? The overture is suddenly over. Everyone gets in his place and the curtain goes up on another Binghamton Central High School Dramatics Club production. The club presented two widely different plays this year. Both of these were, moreover, hits of the 1946-47 Broadway season. The fall production was a per¬ formance of Maxwell Ander¬ son ' s dramatic and moving Dress rehearsal lor Joan of Lorraine. Dramatics... The stage directors of Joan of Lor¬ raine look over the last rehearsal of the play. Opening night of Years Ago Joan of Lorraine. Joan of Arc was beautifully played by Joan Baldwin and the leading male roles were played by Addison Keeler and Jerome Clark. Cen¬ tral was one of the few amateur groups in the country to do the play. In the spring, the club secured the rights to do another hit, Years Ago, a gentle, tender comedy by Ruth Gordon which told of her own childhood in 1910. It was presented on two nights with a double cast. Elaine Nejame and Delores Chernoski played Ruth, with Stephen Takats and Robert Thorne as Papa. Mama was played by Kay Hagadorn and Doreen Cady. Members of the stage crew work on the set for Years Ago. Stuart Smith, Buffy Stuart, Margie Wedge, and Earb Rex finish up work on the cathedral scene. Page Forty-Five Photography... Celebrating its first anniversary this year Photo Club, under the direction of Mr. Paul Gable, is the up and coming organization of Central.

Beginning in the early fall of last year with speeches and radio programs for the Community Chest, the bureau continued its work all through the school year. Among the other subjects for which members campaigned were the Tuberculosis Christmas Seal Drive and Brotherhood week.

Under the leadership of Mr. Albert Nemeth and Mr. Alphonse Nowak this activity consists of many different organizations First, let us consider the instrumental music. Here we have the band, fife and drum corps, and orchestra. These are a valuable aid to school spirit, for they add pep to sports events, plays, and assemblies. Centralites, I ' m sure, will always associate the band, fife and drum corps, and orchestra with their high school memories. Under the heading of vocal music, we have the Choir and Festival Chorus. Working hard, these two groups try to develop the singing talent which Central has, and at the same time enjoy themselves through music. The Choir brought some of this enjoyment to the student body in their memorable Christmas program in association with the Dramatics Club. Music really may be termed as one of those activities at Central which brings enjoyment not only to the participants, but to the students and general public as well.

Speaking Contests... Twice each year Central ' s or¬ ators are given the opportunity to participate in the traditional speaking contests — the Lyons- Weeks for boys and the Dis¬ inger-Church for girls. The pro¬ grams are particularly enter¬ taining for the students because of the great variety of speeches, and in the one hour one travels from one end of the globe to another. In the fall contest first honors went to Addison Keeler; Wayland Schmitt received sec¬ ond prize; and the third prize was won by Arnold Katz. Other contestants were Richard Harti- gan and Jerome Clark. In the Spring five finalists were finally determined from a large group of girls. First R ow: Joanne Foody, Lenore Fisher, Joan Baldwin, Yvonne Goundry, Kath¬ erine Taormina. Second Row: Richard Hartigan, Weyland Schmitt, Addison Keeler, Arnold Katz, Jerome Clark. Student Staff Assistants ... Celebrating its fifth birthday is the unsung organization, the Student Staff Assistants. Organ¬ ized in 1943 under the direction of Mr. William Bush, the Student Staff Assistants have since come under the capable leadership of Mr. Springmann and Mr. Maxwell Space. This club is the spark plug of Central High. Its members take charge of the noon-day study halls and typing rooms, assist Mrs. Coffman in 223, helpout in the lounge, act as hosts and hostesses in the main corridor, lend a helping hand to the nurses in the clinic, aid the teachers in the art rooms and labs, and type and file in the counselors ' offices.

Fine Arts... Fine Arts is the newest or¬ ganization to be added to Cen¬ tral ' s growing list of extra-cur¬ ricular activities. It was felt that there was a need for a group which would delve into liter¬ ature, philosophy, music, and art. In the short time that Fine Arts has been in existence, un¬ der the leadership of Mr. George Youngstrom, members have had meetings in which they have listened to Beethoven ' s Symphony No. 5 and Ravel ' s Bolero on records. Also several students have discussed topics of interest, such as Contempor¬ ary Thought, Plato ' s Republic, Classical Music, and Modern Jazz. Of course, there is too little time at weekly meetings to accom¬ plish all that the members would like to do, but the main purpose of the meetings is to serve as a stimulus so that stu¬ dents will have a desire to read and study more thoroughly on the topics brought up at meet¬ ings. First Row: Peter Costas, Marilyn Burke, Georgia Steigerwald, Anna Reistetter, Jacques Doyle. Second flow: Gregory Lemoniades, Gus Felahi, Robert Cable, Eugene Nester, Carlos Dickerson. Third Row: Ugo Fabrizio, Sam Keyaian, Gerald Dudek, Frank Rabey. Hi-Y... This year Hy-Y has become one of the most active clubs in Central. Under the capable leadership of Addison Keeler, president during the fall term, and Harry Ceranowitz, president during the spring term, the boys had hayrides, held a successful paper drive, sold programs at the football games, sold refreshments at the basketball games, attended numerous con¬ ferences, and had very interesting speakers. Among these speakers was Major Jan Eisenhart of the U.N. The boys prepared model legislation for the Y.M.CA. Youth in Government pro¬ gram. They also sent two representatives to the National Hi-Y Congress.

A. 6 On September 27 the Blue Bulldogs travelled to Gloversville to take on a favored squad from the mitten-town. Early in the first period John Marusich, Central ' s hard-driving fullback, scored on a buck from three yards out. Jim (never-miss) Nash converted. Then Billy Haskins thrilled (?) the Gloversville crowd with a 65-yard run. Haskins, George King, and George Bills took to the 16, from which point Elmer Dino plunged over. Central only punted once in the whole game and showed great promise for games to come. Before a large group of Central fans who had journeyed to Ithaca to see the Finnegan men in action, Central ' s 1947 edition of the Bulldogs squeezed by a fighting Ithaca eleven by the score of 7-0. The Blue rooters didn ' t have to wait long to shout as, on the first play from scrimmage, Billy Haskins took a handoff from Bill Lane, cut over right guard and streaked 55 yards to pay¬ dirt. Golden-toed Jim Nash converted to make the score 7-0. During the remain¬ ing quarters, Central threatened continually, but couldn ' t dent the Ithaca ' s goal. Central continued on its winning ways by beating a fighting but outclassed Elmira Free Academy eleven 25 to 6. Billy Haskins again scintillated for the Blue, scoring in the first period on a twisting sixty-yard run and countering on a forty-yard gallop after having intercepted a pass in the fourth canto. The Blue also scored on two passes — Lane to Nash and King to Murray. Jim Nash raised his total for the day to seven points with his educated toe. The light Blue from Elmira — paced by quarterback Eddie Lyon — never got going but scored on an intercepted lateral late in the game. Final score, Central 25 — Elmira 6. B.C.H.S.13 Norwich . 0 Page Fifty-Eight When the teams returned for the second half on October 18, the fans wondered what Coach Finnegan had said to his charges. They had floundered around for the first half while Norwich had good luck with their aerial attack, but the second half was a different story. In the third quarter Billy Haskins found a gap at left tackle, cut for the coffin corner, outruled the secondary, and gave the Cenral rooters something to shout about. Nash converted. After an interception on the Blue 43, Monsipapa, Stevens, Grivas, and Haskins sparked a drive to paydirt with Billy scoring again.

The Blue having won four straight, the Central rooters were given something to moan about by J. C. The Maroon Wildcats, hitting on all cylinders, picked up Blue fumbles and intercepted passes, relentlessly converting them into quick B.C.H.S. 6 scores. The Bulldogs were outscored, but not outfought. After J. C. had drawn first blood, Bill Haskins drove in five straight plays to the Maroon 32-yard J. C.33 line. Then Haskins and big John Marusich alternated to the one, from which Red Stevens plunged over. After this it was all J. C. The Butkus men run up the score to 33-6. The fifteenth meeting with our inter-city rivals from Frederick Street caused Central to taste defeat again at North High Stadium. Strangely enough, before the Indians had run the ball from scrimmage, Central had scored a first round B.C.H.S. 6 knockdown by virtue of a 38-yard march to the end zone following Hanafin ' s fumble and culminating in Haskin ' s plunge from the 2-yard s tripe. North North .26 took over completely from this point, however, and with Petro and Hanafin starring, passed, drove, and skirted the flanks to run up a 26-6 count at the final gun. After two successive defeats the Bulldogs again tasted victory on a snow- covered Elmira gridiron. Bill Haskins again starred for the Blue, snowshoeing his way to two T.D. ' s, one of which was a 45-yard punt return through the B.C.H.S.26 whole Elmira squad. In the third quarter little Joe Rogers up from the J. V. ' s, thrilled the crowd on a 68-yard run from scrimmage. The first T.D. came on Elmira S. S.13 a 2-yard buck by Frank Monsipapa. Mortimer ' s men were never in danger, although the Elmirans scored twice, bringing the score to 26-13. The traditional turkey day game with U. E. was changed this year to November 15 to insure better playing conditions. On the bleak, wet, freezing afternoon of November 15, a far from capacity crowd of 5,000 sat in dismal silence as B.C.H.S. 0 the Harris cousins from U. E. along with a tremendous line outscored the Central squad 19-0. The injury ridden Blue played their best and fought every U. E.19 inch but to no avail.

Practising daily at MacArthur Stadium under the expert tutelage of Coach Hank Merz a J.V. football squad of about 40 men showed great promise of providing Central with an outstanding varsity in the years to come. The team finished the season in third place in the Triple Cities league, having beaten the Golden Bears of Vestal 18-0, tying North 6-6, and dropping tilts to U-E 12-6 and J.C. 20-0. In a nonleague contest Newark Valley edged the Bullpups 13-0. The backfield spark was provided mostly by foe Rogers and Don Simek, who pranced behind a forward wall built around a nucleus consisting of John Osborne, Frank Ruffo, Carl Saeman, Ernie Whittle, and Bob Howard. A few of the boys saw limited service in some of the varsity games, the highlight being Rogers ' 68-yard touchdown sprint against Elmira Southside. In order that the boys might learn to work together and move up as a unit, the average age was kept to 16 or under. The ' 47 season saw a very significant move made in the in¬ auguration of a junior high school feeder system, whose teams occasionally scrimmaged with the Central J.V. ' s. With the carrying on of organized pigskin toting in the ninth grade, it is hoped to overcome the advantage that many of the schools in the Southern Tier circuit have always held over the Bulldogs.

Wherever you look, in the lounge, bandroom, or audi¬ torium, you can hear and see Central ' s peppy, vivacious cheerleaders. It was this crew of Centralites which spurred our football players on to victory. At each game they could be found leading the Central sup¬ porters in the school cheers. Al¬ though not always up front, the sub-cheerleaders do their work by selling programs at the games. Imagine what the pep assemblies or the out-of-town games would be like without our cheerleaders. How about a whoop-e-ay for Central ' s cheer¬ leaders? Page Sixty-Three Basketball...

Second Row:- Frank Monsipappa, Wil¬ liam Haskins, Elmer Dino. Third Row: Robert Disch, John Yuhas, Fred Eydt, Robert Kniffen, John Drose. Central basketball fans again had a team to be proud of this season, as the Anderson men became the only team ever to win the Section IV Championship for two consecutive years. Starting with four of last year ' s team — Eydt, Kniffen, Yuhas, and Dino — back to form the nucleus, Whitey added Bill Haskins, John Drose, Dick Stacy, and Bob Disch to the roster, and later elevated Frank Monsipapa and Jerry Palombi from the J.V. ' s, thus completing the line-up. After having added Vestal to the long string of wins compiled last season, the Blue saw this line broken by a tough J.C. aggregation on December 12 by a 34-30 count on the Wild¬ cats ' floor. The team bounded back, however, to lick Elmira Free Academy, nose out Liberty in a non-conference tilt, and then take Elmira South Side, before dropping their second heart- breaker of the season to North on the latter ' s court, 51-49. After beating U-E 53-47, the boys journeyed to Watertown and dropped a non-league game. Then began a series of seven wins starting at the expense of Ithaca and Vestal. The next fray was a matter of revenge, as the Bulldogs gave J.C. a cage lesson to the tune of 42-28. When Elmira S.S. had been disposed of, Binghamton readied itself for the game-of-the-year — the second North game. The walls of the Old Armory bulged 15 minutes Two points for Central.

Although this season ' s J. V. basketeers didn ' t compare with their big brothers in the won and lost columns, they never¬ theless showed frequent form that had Whitey Anderson beaming in anticipation of next year ' s varsity squad. The boys finished the season in a tie for the fourth position in the league, having suffered a great loss when Jerry Palombi and Frank Monsipapa moved to the var¬ sity, this being a disaster that Coach Art Sharpsteen seems to run into every season. With Boyd Kennicutt and lanky Mike Jabo alternating at the center post, and with Dadamio, Tay¬ lor, Serbonich, and Barile round¬ ing out the starting five the hoopsters split with J. C. and North made a clean sweep of two tilts each against Vestal and both Elmira schools, but dropped a pair apiece to Ithaca and the circuit pace-setters, U-E. Although the loss of the two key men was a hard blow, this is the purpose of all J.V. teams, and the fact that the varsity profited by the arrival of Pa¬ lombi and Monsipapa was am¬ ple reward for the Blue and White Bullpups.

They dropped meets to Vestal and North High ' s championship squad but took second in a triangular meet, beating Ithaca.

These boys have met without an advisor all through the year and have improved their skill in the game of bad¬ minton. Sectionals in this sport were held in the spring term. Jack Vail, Winsor Lott, and David Champlin were the con¬ testants from Central. There were seven other schools par¬ ticipating. Our team came in third in the doubles and fourth in the singles.

This year again the pinboys ducked as the Bulldog maple smashers cleared the alleys time and again. Coach Frank Clark ' s squad was paced by Jerry Christoff, who averaged above 160 and had the high single of 236 and high triple of 598. Finishing third in the league, the Central bowlers lost only to J. C., the final cham¬ pions. With many boys coming back and a promising J.

Winter Carnival.. Sectionals have been held this year in ping pong, skiing, and rifle. The ping pong sectionals, with fifteen schools partici¬ pating, found B. C. H. S. reach¬ ing the semi-finals in both the doubles and singles. Members of the ski club represented Cen¬ tral at the sectionals in Coopers- town. Chuck Berlinghoff and Bob Douglas placed first in slalom and downhill respec¬ tively. The Central team placed second in the tournament. The ringing shots at I. B.

With the same fire and com¬ petition that highlighted the pre¬ vious season, intramural basket¬ ball again got under way under the supervision of Hank Merz. Twelve teams of 101 boys took part in the program, and an ex¬ citing double elimination tour¬ nament decided the outcome, with the Golden Five —Mickey Grivas, Bill Lane, John Osborne, Bill and Dewitt Pine, and Joe Pecka—leading the field to the wire. With the close of the ' 47- ' 48 campaign, intramural cag¬ ing had become more firmly entrenched than ever as a Cen¬ tral tradition. First Row: Mickey Grivas, Joseph Pecka, Donald Simik.

Page Seventy As the season got started, the Bulldog golf squad, undisputed league and sectional champions of 1947, were again gunning for some outstanding link perform¬ ances in a schedule that in¬ cluded the Triple Cities schools and Ithaca, among others. Jim Brewster, Jay Wescott, and Andy Korba, a star of last year ' s nation - wide caddies ' tournament were back to lead a strong array of lettermen, and Coach Art Sharpsteen had rea¬ son to breathe easily as he took over the coaching berth. Tennis... Prospects for Coach John Gu- ley ' s Bulldog tennis squad, un¬ beaten in the past 19 years, again looked very bright as the boys took to the courts for the ' 48 season. The team rapidly worked into shape for a sched¬ ule that included, among others, the North Indians, the Little Red- men of Ithaca, and the ever dangerous purple racketeers of Norwich. Returning lettermen included Ted Siver, George Git- litz, John Bloom, and Dick George, and a promising array of netmen came up from the J.V. ' s and the junior high schools.

Coach Hank Merz must have thought it was still 1947 when he called his first track practice this spring. One thing he didn ' t lack was capable veterans. Back from last year ' s winged footers were many stars and record breakers. There were: Billy Pine, who when there were no more records to break in the hurdles broke his own records; Ed Dailey, who cracked the discus standard; Joe Pecka, who shattered the pole vault mark; Herb Rogers, unbeatable in the high jump; Billy Haskins, broad jumper and sprinter. There were also George Bills, Rudy Rebah, John Noahis, Phil Jopy, and many others, all capable of good showings.

This spring Whitey Anderson set out to put another feather in his cap as he took over the reins of the Bulldog ' s baseball aggregation. Back to ease his task were a fine group of veterans from last year: pitchers Ken Crear and Jack Bartlett, infielders Harry Brown and Bill Lane, out¬ fielders John Yuhas and Bob Kniffen, and shortstop and catcher Fred Eydt. Several J. V. ' s from last year took over the remaining posts. Among these were Don Simek, Joe Graciale, and Walt Rowley. It looked like a winning team from the beginning, especially since an Anderson- coached team has never lacked the fight, determination, will, and skill to win.

For the first time in six years, girls are again participating ac¬ tively in sports despite the fact that they lack a gym. Under the leadership of Miss Taylor and Miss Freer a large number of enthusiastic Central girls have showed a keen interest in ath¬ letics during the past year. Bowling was assigned to four teams which alternately met on Tuesday nights after school. Basketball was organized in a similar way with playoffs at the end of the season. Awards were presented to the eight outstand- Spirited action in the girls ' league.

The spring sports which were par¬ ticipated in were softball and tennis. This has been a wonder¬ ful start toward reviving sports for girls in Central. The work done this year has proved to be an enjoyable program for those participating, and also has given the girls good training in sportsmanship and teamwork, two valuable lessons in life. Perhaps the present proof that girls are interested in athletics will help to obtain the gym that Central needs so badly. The girls of Central engage in soft! at Recreation Park.

The exciting prom follows closely on the heels of the fun-packed class picnic. And finally the night of nights arrives. ie Seventy-Six « January Class of ’48 OFFICERS First Row: Dolores Sheptak, secretary; Stephen Artim, president; Margaret Hrebek, vice president.
