At work SPEAKING OF CENTRAL If the quotation, A school is only as good as its students, could actually be used as a ratio by which a status is determined, then Binghamton Central would certainly rank among the high¬ est. We are a group who are well- known for our boundless enthusiasm, our ready eagerness to support our alma mater, our willingness to work long and hard for a worthwhile goal, and our sportsmanship whether win¬ ning or losing. Here at Central, where many be¬ come and act as one, we learn much more than is included in the normal scope of our academic curriculum. Our extra curricular activities teach us through active observation and partici¬ pation the basic fundamentals of drama, journalism, art and speech, to mention a few. Perhaps the most important lesson any school can bestow upon its stu¬ dents is the pleasant and peaceful as¬ sociation among one and other. This, we believe, Central does exceptionally well. And that is, in our opinion, what . . . At graduation makes Her great. Page One . . . At an assembly . . . At a dance . . .

Rather than generally dividing the contents into groups of: Faculty, Activities, Sports, Graduates, and Advertising, it was agreed to further compile it into specific classifications, e.g., including all pertaining to language in close proximity: i.e., English Class, Literary Club, and Language Instruction on one double spread. However, realizing the possible difficulties this new system entails, the editors have prepared an index to be found at the end of the book on page 119. ADMINISTRATION I Upon these, “Central’s big five”, hinges the fate of our well-being. Left to right: Maxwell Space, senior counselor; Edward T. Springmann, principal; Martin A. Heifer, superintendent of schools; Marion Taylor, sophomore and junior girls’ counselor; and Richard Schuster, sopho- I more and junior boys’ counselor. A school is only as good as its administration, and Cen¬ tral High has a very fine staff. At the head of the list, we find i Mr. Martin A. Heifer, superintendent of schools. Here at Cen¬ tral, our principal, Mr. Edward T. Springman, takes a leading part. Mr. Space, senior counselor, gives pupils helpful advice about colleges and careers, while Mr. Richard Schuster and | Miss Marion Taylor guide sophomore and junior students. Illness and other abscences can have a detrimental effect on a student ' s scholastic standing. Miss Rose Wilcox has that task of keeping our attendance records. In the main office, Mrs. Edna McDavitt, secretary, assists I students and handles numerous duties. Thus we get a glimpse of Central ' s Administration. Page Five Mrs. Edna McDavitt has the all-important job of supervising Cen¬ tral’s main office. Mrs. Rose Wilcox, in charge of the attendance office, justifiably smiles as she congratulates Mary Ann Ondrako for having maintained the long¬ est “perfect attendance” in Central. Seated: Mrs. Mary Brown, Mrs. Genevieve Driscoll, Miss Margaret Linehan. Standing: Miss Charlotte Meade, Miss Dorothy Turner, Miss Doris Igler, Miss Josephine Ashker.

Central High offers a variety of English classes and activities from speech and radio to Literary Club. During our sophomore and junior years, we take the regular courses in this department headed by Miss Lemon. When we are seniors, we have sev¬ eral from which to choose. Advanced literature and composition class gives us experience for college by teaching us to write and read plays, essays, short stories and research papers. In dramatics we put our knowledge to work by directing the semi-annual spring play. The speech and radio class trains us to speak and write. We learn to correct our speech faults by hearing records of our own voices. Pupils may also take General English in their last year at Central. Students are able to do research work and other reading in our school library where Miss Sarah Burns and Miss Anne Savercool give willing assist¬ ance. Girls of Central may also belong to Lit Club which was headed by Rosemary Foster last fall, and Sandra Coleman this spring. Such activities as this show how broad our English department is. Whether desiring the capital of French Indo China or the source of any quotation, Central ' s two librarians, Miss Sarah Burns and Miss Ann Savercool will cheerfully find the answers. Page Seven LANGUAGE Most students have the desire, at one time or another, to speak and become acquainted with other languages of the world. Here at Central, three lan¬ guages, French, Spanish and Latin, are offered. Although Latin is not the lan¬ guage of any present day country, it is a subject which helps one im¬ mensely in understanding the English language. French and Spanish are especially interesting because they are present day languages. A great deal of satisfaction can be gained from orig¬ inal conversations. Although they are not always ones of perfection, they surely offer good experience and a feeling that one day the earnest pupil will be able to speak a foreign lan¬ guage fluently. Not only the fundamental of the lan¬ guage are taught in these courses, but also the beliefs and customs of the people themselves. This knowledge often helps us in our study of history. Most students, who undertake to study a language, never regret it. James Heifer and Jane Miner ponder the three translations of the present conjugation of “be”.

Lit Club is one of the few organizations in Central open only to the girls of the school. The girls meet each week to discuss art, literature and music. Actually the club participates in a great variety of activities, all hitting on some phase of culture. Interest is added to the meetings by guest speakers and book reviews. Freguent trips are made to the home of Mr. Frederick Williams to enjoy his large collection of classical music. The semi-annual initiations and sandwich sales and the annual dinner are events that all members look forward to. This year Lit Club was ably headed by Rosemary Foster during the fall term and by Sandra Colman during the spring term. i Sandra Colman, Spring president of Literary Club, congratulates Priscilla Nytch, secretary, upon a successful term. Page Nine HISTORY With the thought in mind that history repeats itself, Central High students try to find out why. This is accomplished by means of the required history courses. The customs, beliefs and habits of ancient and modern people are studied. In this way, we learn why other people have different ways of expressing their ideas, and how their thoughts influenced the events that have occurred. In these present days of strife and anxiety, it is necessary to respect the opinion of the people of for¬ eign nations. Although the desire for supremacy is so great, countries and people must learn to consider not only their own wishes but also those of others. The world has grown smaller, but also it must grow closer together by the ties of international friendship. This is the valuable lesson which history has to teach us. Art Kachadourian and Mary Osborne ponder the true size of the world today. Seated: Mrs. Mildred Youngstrom, Miss Helen O’Brien, Mrs, Burlew, Miss Elizabeth Prior, Miss Louise Wulff. Standing: Miss Gladys Glod, Mr. James Hogan, Miss Marion Proxmire, Miss Margaret Brown. Page Ten Mr. Earl Dooley and Miss Kathryn Hyland. MATH Left to right: Mrs. Blanche Beers, Mrs Edith Calvert; standing, Mr. William Hogar SCIENCE When any Central High student asks for a glass of H O, one can be quite sure that that student takes chemistry or physics. These two subjects are taught at Central under the guidance of Miss Katherine Hyland, Mr. John Grace and Mr. Earl Dooley. A science major can be obtained because some type of science is required in junior high school. A great many pupils at Central study chemistry or physics. After the basic fundamentals are learned, there can be no doubt that science is one of the most interesting and necessary subjects of today ' s world. Page Eleven Central’s fall officers: left to right: Geraldine Budovic, vice president; Barth Ray, treasurer; James Gibbons, president; Mary Brezny, secretary. With Mr. John Gable as faculty ad¬ visor, Central ' s Legislative Council has another active year. Students elected James Gibbons, president; Geraldine Budovic, vice-president; Mary Brezny, secretary, and Barth Ray, treasurer, to represent them for the fall term, and Aristakes Kachadourian, president; Josephine Schiffer, vice-president; Ro¬ berta Lord, secretary, and Donald Balin, treasurer, in the spring. L. C. worked for school improve¬ ments this year, and obtained ping pong eguipment in the lounge, a new showcase in our front hall, jam ses¬ sions during the noon hour in the audi¬ torium, and awards for service in Gen¬ eral Organization. m jji 1 . i , 1: V ' « f 1 ! ! i • -i._; Row 1: Marlene Skrovanek, Geraldine Budovic-Vice President, James Gibbons-President, John Gable-Advisor, Barth Ray-Treasurer, Mary Brezny-Secretary, Margie Knapik, Joan Lobb.

HONOR SOCIETY A treasured moment in her life-Mary Lou Flavin signs the Honor Society scroll symbolizing her in¬ duction as a member. Students receive recognition for three hard years of tfvork when they are admitted into Honor Society in their senior B or A term. Each spring and fall, thirty-two new members are inducted. They are pupils who have earned at least two awards in one field, or one award in three fields. Among those to choose from are fine arts, school service, scholarship and athletics. Tony Meninchelli was president this fall, while Arthur Pratt headed it in the spring. Honor Society members show slides to new Centralites each term to help them become better acguainted with school. They take charge of the reception and assembly for Honor Society and the honor graduates. Bas¬ kets are sent to needy families at Thanksgiv¬ ing. The ushers for our school assemblies are also members of Honor Society which is always capably assisted by Mr. Richard Schuster, faculty adviser. In short, membership in this organization should be the aim of Cen¬ tralites. Page Fifteen Another important function of Honor Society is to honor those students graduating, who have maintained an 3.75 average or over. The assembly is here depicted. It’s a proud day for the parents! Here Charles Lesko and father and Eugene Kirch and mother celebrate the recent honor. IS . v wr 1 % i i ggM| l m Jr 111 3 ■H r--- ■ A | L ‘ .

During the school year 1950-51, the members of Dramatics Club had an active year. Our fall produc¬ tion was, You Can ' t Take It With You, whose cast included Jim Grogan, Joyce Flynn, Mary Jane Snyder, Jim Heifer and Francis Pierson. This spring, Snafu, a comedy about a hero, David Disbrow, returning home from the war, was presented. Dramatics class tied in with this last play since its project this term was to produce one. The class presented Why the Chimes Rang for our Christmas assembly. It also acts for various schools throughout the city. Short plays directed by students themselves are often presented at club meet¬ ings. One of the highlights of the year is always the Cortland Dramatics Festival at Cortland State Teachers College. The Princess Marries the Page was pre¬ sented here by our club and class members. These activities help Miss Helen Foley, director, to see those efforts are in action.

Page Thirty-One ARTS Pictures of our school events in our Pan News and Pan Annual always capture the most interest. But, did you ever wonder who had taken these shots, and where they were trained? Photo Club is the train¬ ing ground for many of these flash bulb enthusiasts. Under the leadership of Mr. John Gable, Photo Club ' s members learn the facts about many phases of photography. They are well trained and fully capa¬ ble to take our pictures, as can be seen in our newspaper and year book. In future years when we look back on our high school memories, we should re¬ member the efforts of the Photc Club photographers.

Participating in the contest were James Gibbons, who won first place with his speech entitled, War and Peace, Robert Gitlitz whose speech, Four Score and Seven Years Ago took second place, and John Broderick who cap¬ tured third place with The Death of a Poet. Honorable mentions were received by both William Armstrong and William Morrison. Their sub¬ jects were Esprit De Corps, and Loyal Sons and Steadfast Daugh¬ ters respectively. The Girls ' Disinger-Church Con¬ test took place on May fourteenth. Three weeks previous to the con¬ test, a tryout was held to select the contestants. The contest speakers were Sandra Colman who spoke on Personality, Maureen Galvin who discussed General Mac Arthur lean Callahan who spoke on Dis¬ crimination in Education, Carolyn Kuhnle whose subject was Voting for Eighteen Year Olds, and Edna Segal whose speech was entitled Democracy in Education. All con¬ testants in both speaking contests were awarded school awards. i Page Thirty-Two MUSIC VIOLINS: George Akel, Kathleen Casey, Eva Chittenden, Cecile Freed¬ man, Thomas Hasenpflug, Harvey Katz, Suzanne Kent, Lois Jeanneret, Joseph Macek, Jane Miner, Rosemarie Panicek, Edith Tully, Esther Wilcox.

Varied instruments and abilities are turned into one fine, coordinated unit by Mr. Alfonse Novak. The orchestra usually puts on a whole as¬ sembly program. It also plays for others. Twice each year, it forms the last part of the Honor Society assemblies. The orchestra is present at graduation, too. The orchestra also performed before every act of our fall production, You Can ' t Take It With You, and Snafu in the spring. This is one of their long standing ac¬ tivities. The high caliber of this group makes it one to respect. Mr. Alphonse Nowak, conduct¬ or, explains the proper phras¬ ing of a difficult passage to Harvy Katz, David Livingston, Barbara Reynolds, and Thomas Hasenpflug. The Central Band in full uniform presents an assembly program. BAND The sparkling group led by our talented baton twirler, Miss Irene Sinchaski, is Central ' s band. Mr. Shiffron directs these boys and girls who play at many events during the year. Our band often participates in the Memorial Day, veterans ' and other parades. Of course, it gets its biggest workout during the football season. The band accompanies us while we sing and yell many of our school songs and cheers at these games. During half time, our blue and white clad musicians march and play in forma¬ tion. Often special stunts and songs are built around Irene who amazed the spectators by accomplishing such feats as twirling two flaming batons. Hours of practice and marching turn their songs into fine performances.

Clune trains voices of Cen- tralites for the fine performances our choir gives here in Central and throughout the city. This, of course, is valuable training for anyone wishing a musical career. At the Christmas season, our choir sings in the main corridors to spread the Christmas spirit. We hear them, too, in various assembly and holiday programs in which they present both popular and classical selections. For our Easter assembly, our choir joins with the one of North High to sing here, and then they per¬ formed at that school. They also visited such schools as Daniel Dickinson. Discord soon turns into harmony in our choir. Pnne Thirtv-Five DEBATE The Debate Club of Central High is one which has had a long and successful exist¬ ence. It is a club in which many opinions are voiced and very often challenged. The club meets every Friday in Room 204 under the capable presidentship of Lillian Akel during the fall term and Nannette Pierson during the spring term, Mr. James Kavanaugh coaching. In November, 1950, Debate Club sent a team consisting of two members on the affirma¬ tive side and two on the negative to the state tournament at Cortland. The subject debated was, Resolved: That the American People Should Reject the Welfare State. Among other things, the team learned the methods of other visiting teams. Debates are also held at the regular meetings. In this way, every member is able to gain valuable experience. One or two debates are also held annually in a study hall during the noon hour. The subjects of these debates are usually of interest to all students. Debate Club is a member of the National Forensic League to which many other debate clubs throughout the country belong; thus the club is on a local-national basis. Each time Debate Club members speak before a group of more than 50 people they receive points indi¬ vidually. When they have acguired enough points they, too, become members of N. F. L. That, of course, is the goal of every Debate Club member. Experience, information, and fel¬ lowship are the offers of Debate Club. First Row: Seymour Klionsky, Carolyn Kuhnle, James P.

PANORAMA NEWSPAPER Our newspaper, The Panorama, gives stu¬ dents a chance to read about the activities of Central four times each term by presenting sports, club news, features and timely articles. With the aid of Miss Helen Cusick, faculty adviser, students gain valuable experience in all fields of journalism by actually producing a top-rate newspaper. Our editors for the fall and spring terms were Sheldon Glass and Lucretia O ' Neil. Centralites wore Pan booster tags this term to show that they helped send delegates to the New York City Convention in March. Miss Cusick, Jane Bruckheim, Clara DiFulvio and Lucretia O ' Neil represented our paper, Helen Cusick on last minute changes. which kept its high standard by receiving a medalist rating. The delegates had a chance to hear noted speakers and study papers from all over the country. They gained suggestions and ideas which can be used here in school. Members of the Pan contribute to the school section of the Sunday edition of the Bingham¬ ton Press. This is a page written by students about news of Triple Cities high schools. Such sections as letters to the editor, Papa Central, and editorials tie newspaper words to the functions of Central. By encouraging pupils to express their opinions, and by favor¬ ing or opposing school policies, the Panorama becomes the voice of the students. Doni Toncola tries to sell a Pan “booster tag” to aid in financing a yearly trip to New York City. Page Thirty-Seven Art Pratt aids Peggy Pease, publicity editor, in publicizing the forthcoming Pan.

PANORAMA ANNUAL The one book which can readily bring back one ' s memory to his high school days is the Panorama Annual. The Panorama staff tries to store memories which can be refreshed at any time in the future. No matter how much time has passed since high school days, one can still see the records of past years. The co-editors of the year book are Robert Gitlitz and Lillian Akel. Their job is to supervise the staff and the collection of material. David Pearlman, lay¬ out editor, works with his staff to produce appealing layouts for each page and section of the book. San¬ dra Meade, picture editor, has the responsibility of supervising the photography. The pictures must be interesting and representative of actual school life. Write-ups are taken care of by Pat Pearis and her assistants. These articles tell of the accomplish¬ ments of Central ' s organizations and staff. Patricia Palmer and her helpers look after the business end and advertising section. The one essential person not to be forgotten is Mr. John Grace, faculty advisor to the Pan Annual.

No school is complete without a group of people to help in the various departments. Here in Central High, members of student staff give that assistance. The reguirements for membership in this group are a fairly high scholastic average, a free study hall, and a willingness to work. Student staffers often take charge of study halls. They help teachers sort and mark books, and assist in the library. Many tasks in our clinic are performed by student staff members, who also de¬ liver messages throughout our school. In fact, when¬ ever aid is needed, they are ready. After one year of work, students receive an award for their school service. This is one field through which they can be admitted into Honor Society, and receive just merit for their help in Central.

A. sets the scene for the meetings of Central ' s Hi-Y Club every Wednesday evening at 7:30. With the aid of Mr. James P. Kavanagh, faculty ad¬ visor, this organization aims to participate in community as well as in school affairs. Some of the activities which the boys plan during the year are suppers, sports and dances. They often assist at our school functions. One of their pet projects is working through the World Youth Fund which enables them to give support on an international basis. This, of course, gives the boys variety and wider experi¬ ence. Conventions play a big part in Hi-Y. Delegates gain a broader picture of their organization by visiting groups in other cities. The boys get a chance to show their own hospitality when the meetings are held here. This helps jhem to coor¬ dinate their ideas and put them to use in their own chapter. Y-TEENS Directly affiliated with the Y. W. C. A. are the Central High Y-Teens. Under the able direction of Miss Nellie Glod, the or¬ ganization elected as officers for this year: President, Edna Johns; vice-presi¬ dent, Lorraine Parchinski; recording sec¬ retary, Dona Drumm; corresponding sec¬ retary, Elaine O ' Brzut, and treasurer, Jacgueline Gasper. The club meets at the Y. W. C. A. every Monday night at 4:00 o ' clock. Among their many activities are bake sales, dances, sports, social service, and many other different activities. A convention is held each year at different places in the state. During these conven¬ tions the girls are given an opportunity to make new friends, meet different and interesting people, and exchange their many useful ideas. The Y-Teens have become one of the outstanding, active and useful clubs in our community through the support of the girls at Central.

RED CROSS Delegates from every homeroom compose Central ' s Junior Red Cross Council which was headed this year by Patricia Pearis, president; Mary Lou Carman, vice- president; Cynthia VanDerKar, secretary, and Lillian Sinichak, general officer. Besides working in their or¬ ganization at school, representatives often go to the Senior Red Cross Headquarters to help with such tasks as sorting and packing gift boxes which are shipped overseas. A few of Central ' s delegates attend the regular meetings of the General Red Cross Council, which is composed of members of Triple Cities Schools. They help plan and participate in their programs. Squares were knitted and pieced together to make an afghan for the veterans ' hospital at Bath, New York. The com¬ mittee of this club which trains its members and pub¬ licizes our projects is the speakers ' bureau, in which boys and girls tell the homerooms of our various activi¬ ties. Hard work in this club is rewarded. The Senior Chapter sends as many boys and girls as it can to Na¬ tional Red Cross Conventions in such places as Detroit and Atlantic City. Some are also sent to the training center in Wellesley, Massachusetts. These lucky repre¬ sentatives bring back ideas and put them to work here at Central. Pat Pearis, president, outlines the oncoming Red Cross schedule to Mary Lou Carman and Mary Bresny. Page Forty-Three HEALTH The structure of the teeth, brain, e r bones is no mystery to Centralites. For in health classes taught by Mr. Art Sharp- steen and Miss Ann Bloom, students learn the psychological and physical functions of the body. Students also gain practice in express¬ ing and coordinating their thoughts be¬ cause homework assignments often in¬ clude problems in which, both knowledge and common sense must be applied. An interesting topic in health classes is psychology which students study for about eight weeks. They learn why peo¬ ple act the way they do, and often dis¬ cover and improve many of their own characteristics. Students are taught to improve their own health by a study of the care of the body, and the establishing of good habits, a knowledge of such things as vitamins helps make health class a necessary as well as an interesting course. Miss Ann Bloom, health teacher, explains the intricate functions of the nervous system to Matthew Epstein. CLINIC Whenever you ' re feeling blue, you ' ll probably find yourself going to the clinic which is supervised by Miss Neucom, school nurse. This important room, lo¬ cated on the ground floor, is the haven for some Central students who don ' t feel up to par, or classwork. The walls are painted a soft pastel, which is supposed to help one feel better, so that he can go back to classes quickly. Of course, no student ever wants to miss any class, so he doesn ' t like to stop in at the clinic very often! Miss Newcomb, school nurse, explains the necessity of maintaining good teeth. Page Forty-Four Batter ' s up!” urges Art Sharpsteen to a group of gym students. GYM All Central ' s male students are required to at¬ tend gym classes. This is one class that everyone enjoys because of the exercise gained by the many games which are played. Basketball seems to be the most popular and, thus, played most often. In past years, these physical education classes have proved to be the training group for many capable athletes. Mr. Sharpsteen and his staff are constantly at work helping the students and supervising the classes. They are appreciated greatly by the stu¬ dents. I I i Page -Forty-Five I AVIATION Here at Central we are fortunate to have the Link trainer and other up-to-date equipment for the study of aviation. This is a very helpful course for our present air age. Pupils find the answers to many questions about the air, weather and actual flying. Although this class only acts as a beginner in the field of flying instruction, it can often pave the way to future study on that subject. Central is privileged to be able to offer such a course. 1 h A ' ” rv J iU til __. a | Tv? 1 1 i ‘4 . i . Mr. Emerson Bateman clearly demonstrates the shrunken proportions of the “air ocean” of today to a group of attent¬ ive students. DRIVING If anyone would like to learn the up-to-the-minute fundamentals of driving, Central ' s driving course is for him. The class, under the supervision of Mr. Fred Hawke, meets four times a week with two periods of inside instruction and two periods of actual driving. When pupils have completed this course, they not only know how to start and stop a car, but also they have knowledge of the parts of a car, traffic signals, traffic laws and violations and car insurance. Only 6 inches from the curb”, stresses Mr. Harris.

COMMERCIAL The Commercial Department, under the leader¬ ship of Miss Katherine Miller, performs an essen¬ tial service to the students who are planning a ca¬ reer in business. There are also students who will use these commercial subjects in college. Many in¬ teresting subjects are offered including bookkeep¬ ing, typing, shorthand, business law, business arith¬ metic and business machines. All these subjects are thoroughly and efficiently taught to prepare the students for the future. Many students find respon¬ sible jobs as a result of their training. Mrs. Ruth Tanner, Mrs. Lillian Perkins, Miss Dagmar Wulff. HOME ECONOMICS Today home economic classes teach not only cooking and sewing, but also child care, interior decorating, poise and etiquette. These are essential subjects for all future homemakers and career seek¬ ers. These classes are taught efficiently and inter¬ estingly in the classrooms or the new, modern home¬ making room. In this room are located four fully equipped kitchen compartments and also a com¬ bination living and dining room. A boys ' home¬ making course is also being taught for their benefit. Mrs. Lillian Perkins is department head. There are many students whose interests in ma¬ chine, metal, auto, print and mechanical drawing are pursued at Central. The classes, located on the ground floor, act as a training ground for the future trade of many boys. Here they learn how the ma¬ chines operate and also how to repair them. The students in auto classes are prepared to become the very essential mechanics of tomorrow. The printers are prepared to do the printing for a busy world. When the industrial students have found their trade, many of their thanks will go to their able teachers.

There are dozens of important tasks which are always being done by the custodian staff. Al¬ though we don ' t realize how much work others must do for us as pupils, we can easily understand that it must be done with helpfulness and cooperation. The job of cooking for a hungry mob of stu¬ dents is involved in these times of high prices. The meals must be well planned not only to be appetizing but also eco¬ nomic and healthful for the students. The cafeteria staff knows of the hunger of pupils after the morning class and, thus, tries to prepare suitable meals. Although the custodians and cafeteria workers are usually taken for granted, we must re¬ member that they are an important part of the backbone at Central.

However, it was a dif¬ ferent Central team that came out of the locker room for the second half, taking the opening kickoff and moving 80 yards on a sustained drive, with Joe Ace” Yannuzzi going across for the tally. Dick O ' Boyle later scored on a quarterback sneak and the Bulldogs brought home the bacon with a 13-7 win. CENTRAL 0 — JOHNSON CITY 26 Johnson City ' s big, rough line and the nifty run¬ ning of fleet Jack Decker sank the Bulldog ' s to their first defeat of the young football season by a 26-0 count. Decker ' s runs of 60 and 85 yards, and a ter¬ rific goal line stand which repulsed four Central thrusts from the one yard line broke the backs and spirits of the battling Bulldogs. This stand was the turning point of the game. There was much speculation on what might have happened if they had scored, but the fact remains that the Blue were never able to get another drive underway for the rest of the game. CENTRAL 7 The spirited young Bulldogs pulled the biggest upset of the year by smacking down a highly favored Elmira Free Academy eleven led by the great All-Conference quarterback Ted Berry. The win was accomplished by a stiff pass defense which permitted Berry to complete only one aerial. Cen¬ tral struck back from a 6-0 halftime defeat led by E. F. A. 6 Walt Gaffney, later chose player of the week for his part in sparking the Blue ' s second half drive to victory. After the Bulldogs had been seemingly stopped on the one-yard line, they took to the air, as Bruce Baker tossed one into the end zone to end Howie Burke. Pat Pignatelli ' s successful conversion gave the boys a 7-6 lead which they never relin¬ quished.

CENTRAL 14 — ITHACA 6 The B. C. H. S. football team started the 1950 football season under returning head coach Hank Merz by putting together a second half attack which turned back the Little Redmen of Ithaca, 14-6. After a safety had enabled them to hold a halftime lead of 2-0, the Bulldogs came back in the second quar¬ ter to put the game out of Ithaca ' s reach. Joe Yan¬ nuzzi and Walt Gaffney were the prime movers in these drives each going over for a score. — NORTH 0 CENTRAL 0 The annual battle between North and Central proved to be a study in frustrations this year. The Indian ' s big fullback, Dick Ryder, stormed upon and down the field to no avail as both teams flubbed several chances to score. A beautiful 45-yard run by Ace” Yannuzzi went for naught, and two other Central threats were halted by a fumble on the 6-yard line, and the dropping of what looked like a perfect touchdown pass. Pat Pignatelli ' s terrific kick¬ ing kept the North attack well battled, but his mates could not put together a touchdown drive, and the game ended in a scoreless tie. CENTRAL 6 - A big, powerful Jamestown outfit, operating out of the single wing formation, pushed a fighting Cen¬ tral team around a muddy, gooey, field to gain their 16th victory in the last 17 games. The final score of 14-6 does not accurately tell the story of the con- JAMESTOWN 14 test, as Jamestown got its second touchdown 45 sec¬ onds before the end of the game. A recovered fum¬ ble started the Jamestown boys on their way, but the Bulldogs punched across a tally at the beginning of the fourth guarter with Walt Gaffney scoring the T. D. CENTRAL 0 — ELMIRA SOUTHSIDE 19 Tony Weaver, Southside ' s shifty halfback, and the passes of Jim Hollenbeck set the Bulldogs down to a 19-0 defeat. The All-Conference Weaver proved too much for the Bulldogs to handle as he scowged the Central ends all afternoon. He was on the re¬ ceiving end of a 30-yard aerial from Hollenbeck for the first score, but the Bulldogs were very much in the game until the last five minutes when Southside scored their last two touchdowns. Walt Gaffney was the main cog in the Blue and White attack, but the Bulldogs couldn ' t guite manage to score. CENTRAL 26 — U. E. 6 Enjoie Stadium was the site of the annual Thanks¬ giving game with U. E., which proved to be the site of the Blue and White ' s most satisfying and best deserved victory. Walt Gaffney was the mainspring of the Central attack, with his powerful smashes through the line through holes opened by Paul Kernaklian and his mates. The first half was score¬ less, but U. E. opened the second half with their only score. Gaffney ' s rushes accounted for the first Blue score, and O ' Boyle passed to Walt for the sec¬ ond T. D. Joe Rogers scored the third touchdown on a plunge from the 8 to put the game out of the Tiger ' s reach. Mike Ganisin counted the fourth Bull¬ dog marker on a gift as he scooped up a wild U. E. lateral on his 43-yard line and went all the way unmolested. The victory closed out a very success¬ ful season for Central, and was a personal triumph for Coach Hank Merz, who had the boys fighting harder than any Bulldog team in years.

They lost their entire schedule of 6 games, although most were close, hard fought battles. Losing teams are supposed to build character, and if the J. V. ' s did not have much success from the standpoint of a won and lost rec¬ ords, they at least gained much needed game ex¬ perience. The Junior Varsity was run on a different system this year. Previously they had been a sep¬ arate squad under their assistant coach. Hank Merz. A different procedure was followed last sea¬ son. Those players who got little or no chance to participate in the varsity games made up the J. V. squad. In this way everybody got a good chance to play in the games. Some of the better players who spent all or part of the season on the J. V. ' s were Roger Terry, Mike Ganisin, Joe Rexford, Moe Heifer, Charlie Sax, Fred Hamdan, Ted Scarenzi, Jim McCloe, Mike Dohanich and Jerry Hickey. Sev¬ eral of these boys received a chance to see action in the varsity contests. The team played a home and home schedule with each Triple Cities team.

CHEERLEADERS If you ' ve never payed much at¬ tention to those girls in blue who lead your cheers at Central ' s bas¬ ketball and football games (silly guestion), it ' s about time you sat up and took notice. These girls give much time and energy to the task of working up your enthusiasm and since spirit is an important part of any team, they share an important role in Central ' s sports. In case you didn ' t know, the girls are Peggy Pease, Betty Myers, Jenny Moses, Jerry McGovern, Aldona Toncola, Kay Casey, Maxine Vanek and Madeline Del Villano. Three other girls had charge of parading Central ' s mascot, Mortimer the (you guessed it) bulldog, around the field at the Blue and White ' s football games. They were Joyce Kozak, Mar¬ jorie Garbooshian and Alice Blazek. y§ ® ; Page Sixty-One pi. ' e ■tvse to 1 ottv e PEP CLUB A big factor in the winning of sports events is the morale of our teams. Our Pep Club helps to build school spirit at such functions. These students wear¬ ing their blue and white hats aim to support all of our sports events. At our football games, they sit in a special reserved section. By following the cheerleaders in our yells and songs, they encourage all the students to join in. Other contests, such as basketball, are well attended by Pep Club mem¬ bers. Perhaps their enthusiasm helped our team to be so successful this year in the section playoffs. The policy of working for a better school will con¬ tinue to be sought for by Pep Club members.

Only their inability to consis¬ tently beat their cross-town rival North High kept them from the conference crown, which was won by defending champion, Ithaca, for the third straight year. However, the Bulldogs proved their superiority by handing North a convincing pasting in the semi-finals of the Sectionals, and going on to whip Ithaca for the third straight time to gain the Sectional title in Cornell ' s huge, barn-like Barton Hall, 67-55. Beside the two defeats by North, the only other Conference losses sustained were one each to Johnson City and Elmira South- side. The Blue and White were conceded to be the most colorful team in the Conference, and Central had the best attendance of any Con¬ ference school for their home games. Little Chuck Rolles was adjudged the most valuable player in the Conference. As the Bulldogs best ball handler and an outstanding court general, he was a constant threat from the outside with his jumping one handers, and worked as front man in the 1-3-1 zone that stopped Ithaca so effectively. His lack of height didn ' t stop him from becoming the third leading scorer in the Conference. George McGlynn, like Rolles, was an all-Conference selection. Big McGlynn, playing part of the season with a sprained ankle, was the best rebounder in the area, and his aggressiveness under the boards saved many games for the Blue and White. He was aided in his rebounding chores by Jim Dubil and lanky Bob Jastrab. Dubil ' s one handers became increasingly more prominent as the season progressed, and he was stronger under the boards than his 6 foot height would sug¬ gest. Jastrab proved a great scoring threat with a variety of hooks, one handers, and set shots. Captain Paul Guley held the team to¬ gether and scored well with a driving, jump¬ ing one hander. ' ' Fireman ' ' Bill Gavula was the sixth man and after the graduation of big Paul Kernaklian, played nearly as much as the starters. Bob Matthews, Mike Dranichak, Tony Ruffo, Skinny Kachadourian proved to be capable reserves and gave Coach Sharp¬ steen some assurance on the bench.

JUNIOR VARSITY The junior varsity basketball team was like its counterpart in football in that it did not enjoy as successful a season as the varsity, winning only three games. Although there was good talent on the squad, they never seemed to really mesh as a team. They were also plagued by the lack of really big men, which cut down their rebounding strength. They did gain experience, however, and will be prepared to move up to the varsity next year. The three biggest scoring threats were center, Charlie Sax, and forwards, Bill Moore and Mike Ganisin. Sax, who developed into a fine football end, was a good point getter from the pivot, and the top man in grabbing off rebounds. Ganisin, also a football player, and Moore showed good drive, a deft touch with one handers, especially from out¬ side, and proved themselves to be good rebounders. Dick Capalaces, Joe Welch, Tom Skasko, Bill Pisch- ette, Tony Van Atta, Bill Peworchak and Dick Curry also proved themselves to be capable operatives. Many of these boys show promise of being able to fill in on the varsity squad, which will be riddled by graduation next year.

The league, which was proportioned into the noon division and the night division, consisted of sixteen teams in all, with seven members on each squad. The Colcecs” emerged the champions of the league after defeating the Fighting Five in the finals, 49-45, in a fitting climax to their efforts in the program. The Bulldog volleyball team met with mixed suc¬ cess this year, winning nine games and losing thir¬ teen. However, it seemed that the squad had by no means given a complete account of itself previously, as it went on to place second in the Section IV meet, losing only one match to the Sectional champions. North, and winning the remainder. On the track scene. Central ' s squad kept the cin¬ ders at least mildly warm this year. Although the squad did not shine as a whole, laurels go to John Poodiak, who placed first in the Triple Cities Track Meet. John was sent to the Schenectady meet along with the boys from North and Johnson City, and was the first Tri-Cities boy to place in the meet. Central mermen highlighted their already victori¬ ous season by winning the Section IV Winter Sports Carnival. Although each swimmer did his part, indi¬ vidual honor went to Dick Ball, Murray Heifer and Bob Auchinachie. Dick broke the sectional record which he had previously set for the 50-yard breast¬ stroke at 31.5 seconds. Heifer broke the 50-yard free¬ style mark at 28.1 seconds, and the medley team consisting of Ball, Heifer and Auchinachie lowered the standard to 1:37. In bowling. Central keglers took first place in the league by winning eight of nine matches. John Zu¬ mawtzak received a trophy for holding the highest season average of 180. John also held the season ' s high triple of 596. VOLLEYBALL First Row: Kenneth DeMunn, George Bates, David Pearlman. Second Row: Tom Hasenpflug, Richard Kovas, Emerson B.

BASEBALL Several veterans of last year ' s fine Bulldog squad answered the call for spring practice. This gave Coach Ben Gold a nucleus around which to build a team which may be one of Central ' s best. Fireballer George McGlynn, hampered by a sprained ankle, was back to head the pitching staff, along with Tony Ruffo and Bill Kelly of the mound crew. The Bulldogs were also well fortified behind the bat with both John Keeler and John Simek, last year ' s receivers back again. Half of last year ' s infield combination was ready to go. Pete Tierno, Walt Gaffney, shortstop and third baseman, respectively, were set to carry on where they left off last year. Three of last year ' s fly chasers, Joe Galli, Bob Jastrab and Jim Dubil, returned to patrol the outer pastimes, but it appeared that Dubil would be shifted to first base to compensate for the loss of Big Ed Mosher. Thus, it appeared that Coach Gold ' s task consisted mainly of finding an extra outfielder, a sec¬ ond baseman to replace the departed Dave Dinty” Kellam, and tooling up some reserves from the band of sophomore and junior holdovers who looked very promising. With this imposing array of talent and ex¬ perience, the Bulldogs figured to be the class of the Southern Tier Conference. TRACK Coach Hank Merz looked with sorrow upon the loss of some of his track stars, including Chuck Mc- Glynn, one of the best scholastic hurdlers in the coun¬ try; Rudy Rehak, the best broad-jumper in the Triple Cities; Frank Beylo, a standout in the 440; sprint man Bob Maples and miler Henry Bowman. He expected to form a good team around a group of prospective returnees. Some of the more prominent of the candi¬ dates are miler Fran Kosicky, who last sped over the mile route in the good time of 4:48; Franny Heath, an¬ other miler; Dick Miller, who ran the half mile; Frank Weleb, a quarter miler; Angelo Tschulos and Joe Rogers, shotput and discusmen; Walt McCarthy, a hurdler; dash man, John Kocak, and high jumper, Gus Zurenda. Coach Merz hoped these veterans would form the nucleus for another good team. First Row: Richard Bazewick, John Drotor.

Second Row: Tom Hasenpflug, Tony Van Atta, Jack McCormick, Coach John Guley, Joe Welch, Bill Keane, James Cafferty. TENNIS Tennis coach John Guley has hopes for a good season this year, although five of his first six men have gone. Along with graduation of Winsor Lott and Dave Champlin, came the unexpected losses of Tom Chittenden, Bob Gitlitz and Carl Gieg, all stalwarts on the undefeated net team which last year easily de¬ feated every opponent, and swept the singles and doubles in the intersectionals and Colgate. This leaves John Guley with only one letterman, John Davidge, re¬ turning. He is counting on seniors like John Clune, Dave Berlinghof, George Bates and Keith McGaffey; a junior, Bill Keane, and a group of sophomores in¬ cluding Jim Cafferty and Jack McCormick to round out the sguad. Although last year ' s squad smashed every opponent it met, most of those teams will be keeping their top men, and several new men will have to come through to enable a green and inexperiencd squad to compile a record similar to last year ' s. How¬ ever, the Blue and White have a tradition of turning out the best net teams in the conference year after year, and in spite of this lack of experience, the net- sters may yet carry on the tradition. First Row: Rudy Scherer, Mike Haykos, Art Sharpsteen (Coach), Charles Rolles, Ralph Hasenbalg Second Row: Bill Urdanik, Dick Levine, William Gavula, Daniel O ' Niell, Tony Ruspantini. In contrast to the experience of the tennis team, the golfers will have five returners from a squad that lost only one match last season and went on to win the sectionals. Laverne Sonny” Trinkino and Jerry Ace Sullivan, who was in a large part responsible for the win in the sectionals, coming home with a 71, were lost, but 5 lettermen, including Chuck Rolles, who is better known for his basketball exploits. Other hold¬ overs besides Rolles, who seems slated to be number 1, are Tony Ruspantini, Ralph Hasenbalg, Bill Urdanik, and Bill Gavula. With expected help from newcomers Rudy Scheerer, Dick Mercko, and possibly others, the linksmen seem to be on their way to another success¬ ful season. The big stumbling block in their path will undoubtedly be U. E. which has everybody back, in¬ cluding Joey Nestor and the Diogo brothers. The Orangemen were the only team to ship the Blue and White last year, splitting a home and home series with the Bulldogs. n •j l •• § r, . «• ■ •; . .. .J tyii: •if: r.l ' . i c a l iii First Row: Florence Osewalt, Pat Kadleck, Mary Ann Boyle, Maxine Vanek, Sallie Warner, Barbara Tracy, Pat Tracy, Patrica Darrow, Dolores Ondrako.

GIRLS ' SPORTS Although Central lacks a girls ' gym, many girls have participated in the girls ' sports program initiated three years ago. These activities of this pro¬ gram include basketball, girls ' swim¬ ming, and bowling; and they were un¬ der the direction of Mrs. Holmes of West Junior and Sgt. Francis Cams. Late in November the Girls ' Basketball League began playing regularly every Thursday in the West Junior Girls ' Gym. Eight teams of six girls each were formed, with a schedule of four games a week. Janet Melody ' s team finished first in the league, which completed its season on February 22. From Novem¬ ber to March a group of Central ' s girls took part in the swimming activities at West Junior every Thursday night. From 7:00 to 8:00, instructions were given, and from 8:00 to 9:00, recrea¬ tional swimming was enjoyed. Any¬ where from four to five girls partici¬ pated in the water activities, which in¬ cluded diving stunts and water basket¬ ball. Directed by the Police Athletic As¬ sociation, the Girls ' Bowling League met every Monday at the Laurel Bowl- drome. Two games were played by teams which were sponsored by busi¬ ness organizations and made up of five bowlers. The season, which ended just after Easter vacation, was concluded by a banquet held jointly with the Boys ' Bowling League.

Some already may have promises of a job, or will seek one soon. And of course, there are those among you who will serve Uncle Sam for a time. Whatever you do, remember that this great country of ours is truly a land of opportunity and challenge. If you have to fight for it or make sacrifices for it, freedom is worth the cost. Keep faith and believe in your future. This is still a land where people may choose their business or occupation. Your success is limited only by your ability and effort. Getting the truth about the happenings in the world and in your own com¬ munity is important. Wherever you are or whatever you do, it is vital that you keep well informed on the news of the day. An informed people is a free people. One of the first things that a totalitarian government does is throttle the press, and disseminate only the “news” which it desires the populace to believe. So, as you go through life, cherish and enjoy this freedom of the truth which is ours. And, remember that nowhere else in the world can you enjoy the freedom, opportunities and many challenges that life here in the United States offers you.

B YRON advised, “Believe a woman or an epitaph, or any other thing that’s false, before you trust in critics.’’ And that’s as true of news¬ papers as it is of people. Reporters who stick to the facts are more to be trusted than those who set themselves up as critics. C LEVELAND said, “Public officers are the servants and agents of the people, to execute the laws which the people have made.’’ That also is true of newspapers. They are the servants, not the dictators; agents of information and their function is to present fairly the news “which the people have made.” H IPPOCRATES declared, “Some patients, though conscious that their condition is perilous, recover their health simply through their contentment with the goodness of the physician.” There is some question as to the goodness of the physician on our national scene and unless you, our future citizens, are fully informed the patient may not recover. S HAKESPEARE wrote, “Good counsellors lack no clients.” And such good counsellors as Ray Tucker, Earl Douglass, Elsie Robin¬ son, Drew Pearson, Felix Zafhro and Gordon Martin, who offer good counsel daily, number their followers in the millions.
