However, there ' s more to this town than these few premen¬ tioned statistics—much more than people actually realize or want to realize. Believe it or not we, like everyone and every¬ thing elsewhere, have a history. We were founded in 1798 by Joshua Whitney, land agent for William Bingham, and became incorporated into a city in 1867. We have sent our own boys off to every war in American history and have had our share of heroes as well as criminals, freak weather, philosophers, and philanthropists. We are distinguished throughout the state for our consideration and care of the blind and disabled. We possess, with pride, renowned landmarks, institutions, scenic spots found nowhere else. We ' re probably nothing more than an average small Ameri¬ can metropolis —but let ' s think and continue to think as we do—that we ' re more than just that. We ' re proud of our town and its people. We ' re proud of our accomplishments and equally sorry for our failures and disappointments. It ' s this pride that makes Binghamton what it was, is, and will be in the future. fcooif Hello.... MARTIN A. HELFER 1953 GRADUATES The future holds something for the man who keeps faith in it. Look forward with anticipation to tasks ahead of you. Keep faith with yourself, your fellow man, and with your God. It is the hope of everyone, particularly your teach¬ ers, that you do your job well and that in the years ahead the education you have received and the spirit of your school may cause you to think back and appreciate what is yours with real understand- ZjU, a SELECTION FOR JOBS Selection of the right people for the right jobs has always been important. During World War II the word selection had taken on added meaning. In the Army Air Forces, for instance, it was extremely vital to pick the right men for training as pilots, navigators, or bombardiers. What was the skill pattern needed for success in flying? How could these potential skills be measured before a man had ever ridden in, much less piloted a plane? These gualifications were found necessary for the job. The pilot who was successful was good EDWARD T. SPRINGMANN in problems involving mechanics, spatial relations, perception, and co-ordination. Such skills could be measured in the potential state by a battery of tests which indicated a man ' s aptitude for solving these problems. Such a battery of tests were developed, crew men receiving scores ranging from 1 (low) to 9 (high). If a candidate had a pilot score of 9 he was a good investment and chances were that only five in one hundred would fail in training. The application of this intensive research is ob¬ vious. Whether in industry, where selection involves hiring the three applicants out of ten who would be efficient and satisfied in a particular job, or in schools, where it means guiding the student into courses and occupational choices in which he will be successful, selection implies a dual knowledge. What skills are needed to carry out a task and what abilities does the individual possess who is to carry out the task? A certain pattern of intellectual, inter¬ est, and emotional aptitudes is demanded for any type of successful performance. The nearer the apti¬ tude pattern of the individual to the skill pattern re¬ quired on the job, the greater are his chances for efficient performing of the task. Page Six ■91 v Ann Benson, report to 214,” reads the short note to a bewildered sophomore. I wonder what this could mean,” thinks Ann. Her ques¬ tion is soon answered when she enters the offices of Miss Marion C. Taylor, sophomore and junior girls ' counselor. Miss Taylor, edu¬ cated at Mansfield Teachers College in Penn¬ sylvania and New York University, has behind her a long career of counseling and teaching experience. Having taught in West Clifford and Montrose, Pennsylvania, and also in several other Binghamton schools. Miss Taylor has been a member of the B.C.H.S. for the last ten years. Although originally interested in English and having been an English teacher most of her career. Miss Taylor feels that as a coun¬ selor she has met many pupils and that among these her girls at Central have charm and are a challenge to any person. In room 214 is situated the office of Mr. Schuster, the guidance counselor of the tenth and eleventh grade boys. During a period of twenty-seven years, Mr. Schuster has actively participated in activities at Central High. For nine years he was an athletic coach, and the remaining eighteen years he has been the edu¬ cational adviser. Mr. Schuster helps boys to plan their schedules, giving advice and infor¬ mation concerning educational and vocational programs. Besides helping boys with their so¬ cial and personal problems, he tries to find the field most suitable for each. Encouraging boys to do better work and to be more ambitious is another task of our efficient adviser. Mr. Schus¬ ter, sponsor of Honor Society, helps and assists with the reservations and ushers at graduation time. The boys problems are solved success¬ fully by this pleasant man, Mr. Schuster. The Senior class of Central High is fortunate in having for their counselor Mr. Maxwell Space. Mr. Space is a very important factor in deciding what the future will be for these boys and girls. They look toward him for ad¬ vice and guidance to iron out any problems which may arise. Mr. Space started out teaching history at Central High in 1935. Then, he taught history and economics at North until 1943. During the following years until 1946, he was the Director of War Activities for Binghamton and an in¬ terviewing officer for the United States Navy. He again returned to Central where he has been counselor ever since. His various activities consist of disciplining, advising, guiding, and most important, helping these boys and girls get started 6n the right path for the future. Besides all this, he has the job of Student Staff advisor and scheduling classes for the new term. The senior class should be very grateful in having for their counselor Mr. Maxwell Space. xjr ■ we keep things straight.... SECRETARIES Seated: Mrs. MaryHindle, Mrs. Florance Houpis, Miss Dorothy Turner, Miss Josephine Ashker. Standing: Miss Margaret Linehan, Mrs. Genevieve Driscoll. There are two groups of people in Central who con¬ tribute much towards the functioning of our school, but who receive very little credit for what they do. These women are the secretaries in the various offices and the school nurse. Both students and visitors to the school are greeted in the offices by smiling secretaries. They also make appointments, keep records, and work the switchboard. During many weeks of the school year, our nurse is busy in the clinic examining students. Every boy and girl in Central is given a physical examination once a year. She is also kept busy taking care of all of our minor complaints which arise during the day. ght Pag Mrs. Donahue, the school nurse, lends a helping hand to Willet Silvernail. Mrs. Wilcox, the attendance teacher, checks over the number of absentees. Mrs. Me Dermitt Languages.... One of the greatest problems today which must be overcome is that of different lan¬ guages. Our modern language department, headed by Miss Loretta Murphy, offers stu¬ dents the opportunity to learn French or Span¬ ish in the hope that this knowledge will be of use to them in their future days. A background of Latin is not required, but it certainly gives pupils a distinct advantage in preparing for the study of a foreign language. Not only does a course in languages teach students to speak other tongues, but it also acquaints them with the historical background of the countries where the languages are spoken, and with the customs of the people who live there. In this ever-shrinking world of ours today, it is imperative that the citizens learn to com¬ municate in at least one foreign tongue. There¬ fore, we urge you, the student, to take ad¬ vantage of this opportunity and to study a mod¬ ern language. Seated: Miss Josephine Rosenberg, Miss Edna Brown.

During our sophomore and junior years, we take the regu¬ lar courses in the English Department, headed by Miss Lemon. Seniors have a choice of Ad¬ vanced Literature, Dramatics, or General Eng¬ lish. Our English Department offers a broad scope of studies. LIBRARY 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 assistance. The library contains a large selection of books on various subjects. The students are fortunate to have such a well-equipped library at their disposal. Looking over a new book, Miss Burns explains to Barb Pullis the value of a good novel. Miss Sarah Burns and Miss Ann Savercool, librarians. Page Ten Miss Wulff shows Dick Levene that Alaska plays an important part in the defense of the Western Hemisphere. The history course at Central introduces a knowledge of world affairs, past and present, to every student. By studying an¬ cient, medieval and modern history, the pupil gains a better understanding of world problems. The maps, globes, and other charts in our classrooms aid the pupils in understanding the geographical characteristics and the location of ea ch country of the world. Today the history teachers deal not only with past events but also with present important world affairs. By studying many countries other than our own, we learn and understand History.... Mrs. Burlew and Harvey Katz discuss an article on current events. the customs and problems of other people. Also the courses in the political beliefs of other nations enable us to understand what they think. All this is part of the training which makes a student of today into an alert and active citizen of the future. Central ' s history department, di¬ rected by Miss O ' Brien, gives the pupil just such knowledge and understanding. Seated: Miss Louise Wulff, Miss Helen O’Brien, Mrs. Nellie Gomsi. Standing: Mrs. Ann Crosby, Mrs. Lettie Burlew, Mr. Frank LoVuolo, Miss Elizabeth Prior. Page Eleven Seated: Mrs. Blanche Beers, Mrs. Edith Calvert. Standing: Mr. William Hogan, Mr. John Gable. Mathematics.... Mrs. Beers explains to Sim Smith exactly how to do a complicated problem. MATH SCIENCE At Central High there is a variety of classes in the field of mathematics. These include plane geometry, intermediate algebra (either in one or two terms), trigonometry, solid geometry, and ad¬ vanced algebra. We at Central are for¬ tunate in having this variety of classes, for a student here can take the kind of math he likes best and still fill the reguire- ments for college. Even if a student is not planning to go to college, he should take some type of math, as it teaches him to think and reason guickly valuable assets in life. Science is a subject offered at Central not only to prepare a student for a special profession, but also to enable the student to observe and identify certain scientific facts. In Central there are two science courses offered, chemistry and physics. In chemistry the student studies the com¬ position of substances and the changes which they undergo under certain cir¬ cumstances. On the other hand physics pertains to the science of matter and mo¬ tion. A science major may be obtained if the student has had another year of sci¬ ence in junior high school. Science.... Miss Heyland explains to a group of physics students the operation of the static machine. Mr. John Grace, Miss Kathryn Hyland, and Mr. Donald Roehm, science teachers. Page Twelve Miss Grace Holcomb, art teacher, and one of her classes at work. Home Economics is an excellent course which gives plenty of opportunity to all. The classes not only offer cooking and sewing, but other essential subjects such as child care, interior decorating, poise, and etiguette are taught. The classes are taught efficiently and interestingly in the classrooms or in the modern homemaking room. Modern stoves and refrigerators are constantly being used. The course, under the supervision of Mrs. Lillian Perkins, department head, is taught with the pur¬ pose to prepare young girls to be good housewives and homemakers in the near future. Home £c.... Art. In Room 325 there is always a constant buzzing of art students. Miss Grace Hol¬ comb is the supervisor and does a very efficient job of ' teaching art. Each term new talent arrives with interest in art. The students very often draw a number of posters for our school plays and events throughout the year. They also make cer¬ tain drawings to decorate the school. Each student is always given a week or more in which to finish his or her art project. The students are constantly trying to bet¬ ter themselves as far as their art work is concerned. Miss Dagmar Wulff and Miss Lillian Perkins. Page Thirteen The Commercial Department is another major phase of education at Central. Under the supervision of Miss Katherine Miller, the course offers students a foundation for careers in business. The main pur- Commercial.... pose of the course is not only to give the basic funda¬ mentals behind business, but also to teach the stu¬ dent how to apply his training after graduation. Such subjects as law, business arithmetic, bookkeep¬ ing, business machines, and salesmanship are taught thoroughly and efficiently. For those inter¬ ested in secretarial work, shorthand is of vital im¬ portance. Another subject that has proven its value is typing. College-bound students find this subject a helpful preparation for their college days. Even dur¬ ing their high school years, students can use skills learned in the commercial course. Typists find plenty of work on the school yearbook and news¬ paper. As a result of the careful and thorough education received in the course, many students obtain excel¬ lent jobs soon after graduation. Also quick advance¬ ment is assured to those who have had a complete commercial education. Credit is due to Miss Miller and the other commercial teachers for the wonder¬ ful job that they are doing in preparing students entering into the business world. Standing: Mrs. Katherine Gross, Miss Alice Lowry, Miss Mary Miller, Mrs. Frank Bochnak, Miss Doris Reagan. Seated: Miss Leda Wickham, Miss Caroline Wadsworth, Mr. John Guley, Mrs. Elsie Coffman, Miss Helen Murphy. Industrial.... Central ' s ground floor is one of the busiest of our school ' s four stories. This floor serves as a training field for the many students taking industrial sub¬ jects. Pupils who take industrial subjects are trained for jobs which they will be able to enter immediately after graduation. The variety of industrial classes at Central is great. Many of these contain a wealth of knowledge, such as: auto shop, in which the boys are taught the fundamentals of mechanics; printing shop, where the pupils gain experience in working with printing machines by turning out many things that Central needs which require printing, such as programs for the term play; and wood shop, where the boys make some things which are for sale. If you ever need a bookcase or a knicknack shelf, go down to Room 5 and 6 and see what they have to offer. Other help¬ ful subjects are machines, metal shop and mechani¬ cal drawing. But not all industrial subjects are for boys. Cen¬ tral ' s girls who wish to become beauticians are offered a course in beauty culture. Any student who takes an industrial subject at Central is going to be well trained in that particular field. Seated: Mr. Frank Collen, Mrs. Elsie Winchell, Mr. Harold Hess, Mr. Francis Gorgos. Standing: Mr. Fred Barrett, Mr. Michael Fanelli, Mr. James Kerr, Mr. Andrew Harris, Mr. Lee Kent. tst-J Construction of the new gym is being carried on while many students anxiously await its completion. healthy minds For years Central has been without adequate gym facilities, with gym classes being held in a small, poorly equipped building. Only the boys had the opportunity for athletics. One some¬ times wonders how our gym instructors, Mr. Art Sharpsteen and Mr. Hank Merz, managed to turn out championship teams, working under such disadvantages. Under their direction, the boys got a lively workout or played the game then in season. These gym classes served as the basis of Central ' s athletic program. However, steps have been taken to remedy the situation, and BCHS will have a new million- dollar gym by winter. Construction of the new building began August 25, 1952, suspending gym classes early in ' 53. The new gym will have a large floor separated by a folding partition into two smaller courts. The seating capacity will be about 2,000. A welcome addition is a pool. The old gym will be converted into locker rooms for student equipment. Ramps will be built to enable the students to go directly from the school into the gym. The girls will be able to have gym classes also. An athletic field for Central has been proposed, but it is still in the paper stage. Page Sixteen Seated: CUSTODIANS Mr. Thomas Connolly, Mr. Charles Whitcomb, Mr. Roy Shute.

Page Seventeen and health y bodies.... If you forget your lunch or don ' t care to bring it from home, you can step into the cafeteria and obtain a good lunch for a very reasonable price. Almost anything you desire, you can get. Whether it be sandwiches, salads, or a hot plate, the cafeteria has it. After you have eaten lunch, this is a good place to make last minute preparations for your afternoon classes, or you can sit and talk with your friends. Have you ever wondered who did all the unpleasant tasks around Central? If you don ' t know, we ' ll tell you. It ' s the custodians. They keep the bells ringing, inkwells filled, floors swept, walks shoveled, and the grounds picked-up and mowed. They come early every morning to open the doors and get the school heated. They also have to saw off locks from lockers, when the locks have been put on backwards or in some other fashion have been made impossible to unlock. Many thanks to the cafeteria staff, who fill our hungry mouths, and to the custodians, who make it a pleasant place to spend our school year. r � -w Lunch time finds many students making use of the facilities in the cafeteria. ■Mi finally •••• DRIVING The person learning to drive a car today should have two things foremost in his mind: Safety and a thorough knowledge of the vehicle he is driving. That is why Central offers a driving course to teach young people how to cope with the problems of driving. Mr. Harris instructs his class indoors twice a week, and then takes them outdoors twice a week for actual driving. He teaches each one to be a good, careful driver, not another teenage menace. AVIATION With the coming of the air age, aviation has rapidly taken a prominent place in the minds of Americans. In order to teach the students who are in¬ terested more about this field, Central offers a course in aviation. This inter¬ esting subject is available to both boys and girls. Mr. Emerson Bateman, the instructor, is aided by modern equip¬ ment which includes a Link Trainer. Aviation acquaints the student with the fundamentals of flying and also with facts about the air and weather. HEALTH One of the easiest and most interest¬ ing courses required at Central is the health course. There is always some¬ thing about this subject that the pupils like. It may be the psychology, which acquaints them with the functions of the mind, the physiology, which teaches them about the functions of the body, or perhaps it ' s the instructors, Miss Anna Bloom and Mr. Arthur Sharpsteen. Health also teaches the students the good grooming and nutritional habits which are essential in every day living. Fall Graduates CLASS OFFICERS FALL Each term the members of each grad¬ uating class has the privilege of electing their class officers.

HONOR SOCIETY —FALL AND SPRING This is it! The great moment for thirty-two Central seniors has arrived as their names are called out at the semi-annual Honor Society Assembly. Thus the eight outstanding upper¬ classmen are selected from the fields of schol¬ arship, fine arts, athletics and school service. In order to qualify, one must have at least a 3.75 average and two scholarship awards for the first field, and a passing average and two awards in any one of the other three fields. One may also have one award in each of three different fields. After a list is compiled of all those eligible, a membership committee, con¬ sisting of five Honor Society members, the three counselors, and Mr. Springmann, votes on the names and those w ho stand out most highly, receive the gold key in recognition of their accomplishment and contribution to the school.

As in every year gone by, the Honor Society really puts its best foot forward in doing serv¬ ice for the school. It takes a large part in the sophomore and junior orientation program. It performs the job of doorkeeper and usher dur¬ ing assemblies. It puts on an assembly to honor those graduates with a 3.75 average or higher. All these are done under the guidance of Richard L. Schuster, advisor, and the Honor Society officers. The officers for the fall and spring terms were, respectively: President, Stuart Suskind and Harvey Katz; secretary, loan Berks and Elaine Wearb; general officer, Donald Drewett and Sue Cronk, and historian, Kathleen Casey and Angie Liciandrello.

PAN NEWSPAPER — FALL TERM During the fall term the Panorama gave the students a chance to read about the activities of Central in four different issues by presenting sports, club news, features, and timely articles. Editor for the fall term was Marilyn Hester. oa the spot report With the aid of Miss Helen Cusick, faculty adviser, the fall staff gained valuable experi¬ ence in all the fields of journalism by actually producing a top-rate newspaper. Members of the Pan contribute to the school section of the Sunday edition of the Bingham¬ ton Press. By encouraging the pupils to express their opinions concerning the school policies the Panorama becomes the voice of the students. PAN NEWSPAPER — SPRING The four spring issues of the Panorama fea¬ tured all the news about sports, clubs, and our school. The spring editor was Ted Smith and under his and Marilyn Hester ' s leadership the Panorama won medalist rating, the highest pos¬ sible award a high school newspaper may receive. During the spring term the Panorama had many articles boosting the building of the new gym. Such sections as letters to the editors, Papa Central and editorials tie newspaper words to the functions of Central. The teamwork of the spring staff was an essential factor for each publication of the Pan. Angie Liciandrello, Helen Normile, Elizabeth DeRiti Emily Mason, Joyce Freeling.

Marilyn Hester, fall editor, and Ted Smith, spring editor, were the two most important elements that helped the Panorama newspaper win a medalist rating. Marilyn has many achievements besides that of having been editor. She has three Pan Awards, one in dramatics, one in public speak¬ ing and two in scholarship. She was a member of Honor Society and winner of Quill and Scroll State award for journalism. Marilyn plans to enter college in the fall and continue either journalism or home economics. Ted also has made quite a name for himself at Central. He has been an active participant in Dramatic and Science Club, Debate Club and also a member of Honor Society. His many awards include two in scholarship, two in student staff, one in dramatics and one Pan newspaper award. Ted is now President of Key Club, and he was former Treasurer of Science Club. Ted and Marilyn are just two examples of this wonderful younger generation which is forming the foundations of tomorrow. Spring Editor-in-Chief, Ted Smith. with the show....

Page Sixty-Two The Cen- t r a 1 High Drama¬ tics Club has had a busy school year BB H with two ma¬ jor plays be¬ sides several smaller pro¬ ductions. The fall play, A Murder Has Been Arranged ' was presented on November 7 and 8. The large cast in¬ cluded Joe Petrone, Stuart Suskind, Audrey Freije, Norman Haddad, and Joyce Davis. During the spring term, ' ' Come Rain or Shine ' ' was given. Among the main char¬ acters were Joe Petrone, Au¬ drey Stevens, John Lisick, Anne Burley, Jim Stack, and Janice Brown. In addition to these two plays, club members rehearsed several one-act dramas that were pre¬ sented in the auditorium during noon hour and after school. The Christmas assembly was based on a play written by Miss Helen Foley, club advisor, named, Paging the Bryants, with the main parts being played by Irene Lisick, Wesley Smith, Ann Kavalick and Rita Porubiansky. Also helping in the production of the plays have been the stage crew and the regular dramatics classes. These activities help Miss Helen Foley, director, to see her efforts are not in vain.

The gay comedy was centered around Jacqueline Grayson, a de¬ lightful high spirited college girl, and the incidents which led her into young womanhood. Directed by Helen M. Foley, this is a rich, warm-hearted comedy of real people. A MURDER HAS BEEN ARRANGED Emlyn Williams ' ghost play, A Murder Has Been Arranged, was presented by B. C. H. S. Dramatics Class on November 7 and 8. A Murder Has Been Arranged was a very imaginative mystery, the scene of which was the St. James Theatre, London. Directed by Helen Foley, there was a feeling of suspense through¬ out the play. •••• coot tempters.... DEBATE CLUB The Debate Club, headed by Mr. James P. Kavanaugh, has enjoyed a full year.

SCIENCE CLUB A new addition to the many clubs of Central High is Science Club. Although only recently formed, it has already estab¬ lished a name for itself. Cover¬ ing the wide field of science, the club program has included lectures by eminent local speakers and discussions con¬ ducted by the club members. To further increase interest in science, contests were spon¬ sored by the group. These con¬ tests were opened to the school and included cash prizes. It is hoped by all that, under the leadership of its president, Stan Smulowitz, Science Club will continue to grow until it is one of the school ' s leading clubs.

PUBLIC SPEAKING For the first time in the history of Binghamton Central High School the annual boys ' and girls ' oratorical con¬ tests, the Lyons-Weeks and Disinger- Church contests respectively, were combined and held in the form of an assembly before the school in March. Joseph Pierson was moderator. Richard Aswad, speaking on the people along his paper route, and Ramona Taylor, speaking on the probability of peace, won in their respective divisions. The other finalists were Timothy O ' Neil, speaking on the contributions of the Irish, and Dhyan McCollum, speaking on the power and strength of the in¬ dividual. In May, another speaking contest was held in which Central stu¬ dents participated. This was the Ger¬ hart speaking contest sponsored by the attorney, Eugene Gerhart, in order to promote the art and ability of public speaking. This contest differs from the first mentioned in that it is open to stu¬ dents of both Binghamton schools and is held in both schools in alternate years. The topic for this year was Should the United States Congress pass an anti-discrimination law. The contest was held at North and the Cen¬ tral High participants were Harvey Katz and Margaret Smith. what to •••• PHOTO CLUB One of the newer and smaller clubs of Central is the Photo Club. During the past year, the members have been learning and practicing new methods of taking better pictures. Having fixed up their own dark room in 323, the club members are able to develop and print their pictures. In this way the boys are gaining valuable experience and train¬ ing for future years. This club is a great asset to the school for many of the fine pictures in the Pan Newspaper and Pan Annual have been taken by the club members. Camera Club advisor is Mr. John Gable.

This organization provides social en¬ tertainment for the twenty active members, although the girls do have some service projects. The Y.W.C.A. is the girls ' meeting place every Wednesday night. All of the girls are members of the Y and are affili¬ ated with other organizations there. Miss Delores Pignatelli acts as the club ' s advisor. The officers of Y-Teens are Alfreda Bennett, presi¬ dent; Carol Sedor, vice president; Juanita Lord, recording secretary; Elizabeth Balok, corresponding sec¬ retary; Jean Jones, treasurer, and Norma Heverly, sergeant-at-arms.

Other officers of the organization are Don Besig, vice president; Dave Branch, secretary; Wayne Robinson, treas¬ urer; Bill Mould, historian, and Steve Smith, chaplin. The boys meet every Tuesday night at the Y.M.C.A. and plan future activities and projects. They contribute much of their time and energy raising money by put¬ ting on dances every other week at the Y.M.C.A. Mr. J. P. Kavanaugh acts as the club ' s advisor.

Page Sixty-Eight There are no schools which are complete unless they have a group of people to aid in the various departments. At Cen¬ tral High when teachers or counselors ask for assistance, they call upon student staff members. This organization is one of Central ' s most essential organizations. The students who act as assistants must have a fairly high scholastic average, a free study hall, and a willing¬ ness to work. The members of student staff often are in charge of study halls. If teachers need someone to help them mark books, a member will come to their aid. Staff members assist in the library and perform many tasks in the clinic. Very often they are called upon to deliver mes¬ sages in various parts of school. The students are of val¬ uable aid to the teachers and counselors. Sometimes they are asked to take inventory. They are always ready with their aid and assistance whenever they are needed. By performing these many small tasks, student staff mem¬ bers not only render valuable assistance, but also earn an award for each year ' s service. They deserve this for their won¬ derful assistance at Central. Mary Jane Mowry runs through filing cards. Is she looking for your record? Working hard, Jackie Gasper? nn Leighton at the hostess desk.

ORCHESTRA A good orchestra is always a source of pride to a school. It is for this reason that Central is proud of its forty-odd piece orchestra. The group, led very capably by Mr. Alphonse Nowak, has taken an ac¬ tive part in many of Central ' s activi¬ ties. Among these can be cited six assemblies and all of the dramatic presentations. In addition, the or¬ chestra played at the annual Night of Music held at West lunior in May. Few people, outside of those in the orchestra, realize the amount of work Mr. Nowak and the members of the group go through to put on a musical program. There is constant practice, arranging and preparing new pieces for presentation. It is a difficult task, one which has caused a great deal of worry, hard work and short tem¬ pers; but ultimately, fine music and enjoyment. It is this culmination of efforts which has been the source of pride to Central. ORCHESTRA Row 1: F. Moore, P. Ochs, L. Jeanneret, G. Hudak, H. Katz, S. Mosher, W. Mould, S. Pearis, E.

Not so loud, already! The band stands in review at North Stadium. Eyes left! BAND A good marching band is usually cited as having the following: Good musicians, hard working members, fine marchers and, most important, an able leader. Central has all of these, especially the last—an able leader.- Such a leader is Bemey Shifrin, a man many times called the best in this area. The band had a full year. They started it by marching and playing at football games. The band again played for the last few games of the basketball season. They were liked well enough and were sent to the Sectional Championship game in Ithaca. In March the band played, escorting Eggbert, the Easter Rabbit, into town. They competed in the New York State Band Contest during May. They also played in May at West lunior during the Night of Music and marched again on Me¬ morial Day. All of the months were busy ones for the band. But it went through all of them, leaving fond memories to those that stay and those that graduate.

When a student picks up a Pan Annual, the first thing he does is look for his own picture. Having found it and given it due ad¬ miration, he leafs through the rest of the book. Filled with self-admiration, he seldom realizes the tremendous amount of work needed to get his name, pic¬ ture and accomplishments in the An¬ nual. Homeroom 325 is the GHQ for Pan Annual work. Although work on the Annual goes on all year, there is always a last-minute rush in the spring to get it to press. In the hustle one can find the Business Manager, Evelyn Heiyen, urging her staff to get those ads in”; the copy editor, Mary Ann Bedosky, demanding that the staffs keep their write-ups under the work limit; the art staff discussing layouts; Ray Dudek, the chief photographer, scurrying around snapping pictures from all angles. Over this orderly con¬ fusion presides the Editor-in-Chief, Jack King. He checks everyone, arranges staff meetings, supervises layouts and hopes the publication deadline will be met.

Page Seventy-Five Presenting IN OLD LOUISIANA Pilot Farley and a little child are the only survivors of the steamboat Winona.” The pilot adopts the child and brings her up as his own daughter. The operetta opens when this child, named Rose, has grown to young woman¬ hood. Rose is loved by and returns the affection of Richard St. John, a young Southern sugar planter, but Simon Scudder, overseer of the pilot ' s plantation, also loves Rose. Because she refuses his attentions, Scudder plans, with the help of Jake Martin and Holly Timms, to claim that Rose is the daughter of an octoroon slave. Rose, not knowing who her parents were, refuses to become Dick ' s wife because she fears she may have Negro blood in her veins, although she is unaware of Scudder ' s plan. The conspirators confront the pilot with a forged paper to back their claims, but Dick accuses Scudder of forging the document. This leads to a duel between them. Scudder shoots before the signal and wounds Dick in the hand. According to the code of dueling, Dick is allowed another shot, but he cannot take a man ' s life in cold blood. Rose is attracted to the spot by the firing. Scudder is about to tell her that she is an octoroon when he is in¬ terrupted by the arrival of Sheriff MacDougal and the Marguis de la Tour, the latter proving to be Rose ' s grand¬ father. Scudder, Timms and Martin are put under arrest and have a long term of imprisonment facing them. The Mar¬ quis gives the consent to the marriage of Rose and Dick, and all ends happily.

Page Seventy-Eight the bulldogs in action 0000 CENTRAL 33 —SCRANTON 7 In Central ' s first meeting with Scranton in 25 years, Central ' s fired-up bulldogs walked all over the boys from the mining region to the tune of 33-7. Standouts for the Blue and White were backs, Jerry Hickey and Mike Ganisin, and end, Charlie Sax. Hickey completed 9 of 14 passes for a net gain of 163 yards through the air. Included in this were two touchdown heaves to end, Charlie Sax. Meanwhile, Ganisin gained 100 yards of Central ' s 205 rushing. Besides this, he also ran 70 yards for a touchdown on a punt return. The closest Scranton got to the Bulldog goal line was in the final period when they advanced to the 9 only to lose the ball on a fumble, with fourth down and 1 yard to go. NORWICH 14 —CENTRAL 6 A favored Bulldog eleven met tough opposition in Norwich and went down to defeat, 14-6. Ed Ackley, a 170-pound quarterback for the purple, repeated his outstanding performances of so many games to lead Norwich on to victory. The two touchdowns scored by Norwich were results of a blocked punt and an intercepted pass. Ackley, incorporated, stopped several Bulldog threats for the goal line. Norwich ' s seven and eight-man defensive line seemed to puzzle the Blue and White who found themselves working the ball in their own territory during most of the game. Then, too, the frequent missing of blocking assignments added to the Central defeat. Amidst this, however, Dick Day showed his pride as a quarterback when he engineered the Bulldog offensive 91 yards for a touchdown. CENTRAL 33 —E.S.S. 0 With Dick Day hitting paydirt twice, Central ' s spirited Bulldogs bolted past winless Elmira South- side, 33-0. Day scored the first of his two touchdowns on a 6-yard jaunt around left end. This first score was set up when Hickey recovered a fumble on the 47-yard line on the first play of the game. Another fumble by E. S. S. led to the second score, as Mo Heifer pounced on one on the Hornet ' s 4-yard stripe. Merrall brought this one across to make it 13-0. The rest of the scoring saw Hickey go over from two yards out, Day turned and twisted his way for 37 yards, and Mike Ganisin broke through the center of the line for a 63-yard run. Page Eighty E.F.A. 30 —CENTRAL 0 Elmira ' s win shattered the hopes of many Centralites who were looking for a Bulldog league championship. According to pregame ratings, Central was supposed to be the main threat to the Elmirians. However, the game could hardly be proof of it. The game was only a little over a minute old when Elmira had its first touchdown. Halfback Frank Gush burst through the center of the line, shifted a little to the right, and went the rest of the way, 58 yards, for a touchdown. After this the Bulldogs looked like a club that had lost all its spirit. The statistics went as follows: Central had 8 first downs to Elmira ' s 6; the Bulldogs, however, could only move 78 yards along the ground to the Elmirians 138; through the air Central only managed to come up with 26 to the Blue Devil ' s 76. NORTH 12 —CENTRAL 6 It seems that everytime Central plays North, the Indians are in high spirits and play the best game of the year. North didn ' t throw a pass in either of its touchdowns drives. When Central came back in the fourth period to push Bill Merrall over with four minutes left, the Bulldogs threw only one in the drive, that time unsuccessfully. Neither team got an extra point. Central appeared to have most of the breaks but couldn ' t capitalize on them. It recovered three bobbles and lost none and two others that would ha ve helped a lot more, Rassmussen fumbling on Central ' s 21 on the first scoring drive and Strain on the 37 in the second march. Both times officials whistles stymied them, declaring the play dead. Before scoring, Central had drives stopped at the 23, the 10, and the 13. ITHACA 26 —CENTRAL 14 Ithaca won their first Southern Tier Conference title. As was expected, the Red Men ' s attack was led by All-STC halfback, Bob Flynn. Flynn picked more than one-half the team ' s total rushing yardage, with an average of 8 yards per try. He also scored a touchdown. The first half ended with the score Ithaca 14, Central 0. The Blue and White came back in the third period to play their best ball, with fullback Uhrinec doing most of the carrying when key yardage was needed. Shine Mezzadonna scored the touchdown with Uhrinec making the extra point. At the beginning of the fourth guarter Ithaca scored again making it 20-7. Then came the best run of the day, Dick Day ' s 76-yard punt return. With just 26 seconds left Ithaca scored again on a pass interception. U.E. 33 —CENTRAL 7 After the first half had ended, U. E. led by only 6-0, and it looked as if Central was really going to give them a battle. Shine Mezzadonna carried the ball repeatedly in the first half and repeatedly made gains. At the beginning of the second half the game broke wide open, U. E. blocked a Central punt and scored. Minutes later, after a three-yard punt by Central, U. E. made the score 20-0 when Tatusko passed to De Paolo for a score. In the last guarter U. E. scored twice more with Bob Daglio and Ralph Weiland scoring for the Tigers from two yards out. The Bulldog ' s lone touchdown came when, with U. E. leading 33-0, Dick Day took the ball on the 13-yard line and raced 87 yards through the entire U. E. team to pay dirt. Bob Uhrinec kicked the extra point to make it 33-7 when the final gun went off. VARSITY FOOTBALL Row 1: Mike Ganisin, Terry LaFrance, Has Day, Frank Micalizzi, Bill Merrall.

POLIO STOPS JC-CENTRAL The Central-Johnson City football game, scheduled for Novem¬ ber 1, was postponed because a Central guard, Mo Heifer, con¬ tracted polio. The team ' s practices were cancelled for a week. At Central 32 gridders received a group inoculation of gamma globulin, a medicine that has been used as a preventative and modi¬ fier of certain virus-incited diseases, such as measles and polio. Dr. Louis Borelli, Central team physician, supervised the inoculations. One at a time, please. Page Eighty-Two JAYVEE FOOTBALL The battling Bullpups of Central High ended the season with a 2-2-1 record plus a loss to Elmira Free Academy ' s J. V. ' s in a non-league tilt down in El¬ mira on Columbus Day. Their 2-2-1 record was good enough to put them in second place, right behind North ' s J. V. ' s who won it for the second straight year and whom Central downed in their opening game, 12-0. Their loss came at the hands of U. E. by the score of 13-7. Central ' s Bullpups also found themselves in a tie with Johnson City ' s J. V. ' s, 6-6. Some of the young Bullpups that shone in the J. V.

Pep Club .... An organization well calculated to keep the student body of Central High School in the spirit is thg Pep Club. Their rousing yells, blue and white beanies, streamers, all add to the activity at the football games. This organization is certainly one of the most active in the school, and one of which Central might well be proud. The officers of the 1952-1953 season are Lois Taylor, President; Vice-President, Barbara Pullis; Secre¬ tary, Cheryl Johns; Treasurer, Barbara Gould; Girls ' Sergeant- at-Arms, Evelyn Ball and Barbara Ahern, respectively. During pep assemblies, these girls may be found in front row, center, giving support to the teams and contributing to the athletic program of Binghamton Central High.

Page Eighty-Six Cheerleaders.... Spirit is well demonstrated by the Cheerleaders of Binghamton Central. These ambitious young girls have given their utmost to help support the football and basketball teams. In the crisp fall air they yell for Mr. Touchdown. They help bury U. E. at the big rally, not to mention the zest they add to the Pep Assemblies at school. Identified by their smart blue corduroy uni¬ forms and perky blue beanies, they may be found at Kalurah Temple during the winter and early spring again cheering the basketball team on to victory. The cheerleaders in their own right are the unseen heroes of Central. They give much of their time and efforts to lead the students of Central in the yells and songs which help distinguish B. C. H. S. The cheerleaders for the 1952-1953 season, headed by lennie Moses, are loyce Berger, Mary Fields, Kay Casey, Seanne Sweet, Dorothy Mosher, Fran Gentile and Connie Tourjee. Mascofeers.... Do Gentlemen Prefer Blondes? Dukie, Central ' s mascot, agrees whole-heartedly to this question. He couldn ' t really object since his three escorts, the Mas- coteers, are all natural blondes, Mary Ellen Molessa, Sally Van Der Kar and Marion Hurd. These attractive young ladies have this job of keeping Dukie intact during the football season at Binghamton Central. He is taken to other schools and walks about bearing the symbol of our team—a bulldog nature with a lot of fight and ambition. Dukie ' s escorts are dressed in heavy white woolen sweaters and lay blue skirts. Their apparel carries out the color scheme of Central—that of the blue and white. These girls add much color and have a wonderful way of keeping Dukie in his best canine mood. We are indebted to Mr. and Mrs. Carl Meilke who are kind enough to loan Dukie. The football games at Central would never be the same without this vigil over our own Bulldogs. Twirlers.... To the strains of the alma mater of Binghamton Central the twirlers perform their utmost on the foot¬ ball field. Their efforts have certainly won them a high place in the entertainment at a football game or at a parade. The colorful costumes and the excellent baton twirling seem to make these girls almost superhuman as they perform their various tricks of the trade. Mr. Shiffrin may be termed as an expert judge when it comes to selecting girls with talent, and these girls are certainly fine examples of his judgment. They add that wonderful zest and color loved by both young and old spectators. Led by Cay Dellapenta, head twirler, the group consists of Dorothy Pernes, Ann Kavulich, Sandy Edwards, Gail Husband, Terry Wagner, Judith Bartley, Roberta Merz, Lorraine Banovic and Elaine O ' Brzut. These girls are certainly a deserving group and all the people who have ever seen them would no doubt agree.

Poge Eighty-Seven ■ No fabulous five romped the courts for Central High this season; no fairy land team coasted along a star studded way to easy vic¬ tories and the Southern Tier Conference title; no five-man machine glided smoothly through the Section IV, Class AA championship game at Barton Hall, Cornell. Instead, a team with as much heart and guts as there was possible to be in a group of players, fought their way uphill through all opposition placed in front of them. This is what ran the ball for Central High—Section IV champions, a team of guts, heart and the will to win. And yet champions just don ' t happen. They have to be trained and perfected by able mas¬ ters. Coach Art Sharpsteen was such a master. Under his tutelage Central High had a cham¬ pion. The road was not easy. The entire season was a series of high points of joy and victory and low ones of disappointment and defeat. The victory of the Blue and White was not sus¬ pected by anyone. The team was considered to be too young, too inexperienced. The team was young and inexperienced, two starters being juniors and another a sophomore. Yet it won, beating all the calculations and figurings of the experts. It won, putting itself among the great teams in Central ' s history. The season was a thrilling one right down to the wire!

In years to come other good seasons will go and pass in the same way. Many words will be written about them, the best of which can be written about this one—it was one to make Central proud.

Although not one member of last year ' s fabulous five had re-entered school in September, thanks to Art Sharpsteen, a cham¬ pion team was again produced. Suffering only four defeats, two to J. C., two to E. F. A, the Central team, against all predictions made by the press, avenged these losses in their bid for the Section 4 AA championship. Luckily the midterm graduation did not seriously affect Central ' s fortune as the core of Ron Capalaces, Ken Pichette, Ted Park and Jon Cincebox rolled on. Mike Ganisin, Charlie Sax and Skip Reynolds also played a vital part in securing Central ' s top spot in the Sectionals. Row 1: Brian Crabb, Renny Greenmun, Mr. Guley, Guy Southee, Dick Alapeck.

There are 18 boys on the team, most of them sophomores. They practice nights after school at Ansco field under the watch¬ ful eye of Coach Bud Deyo. Mr. Deyo, who coaches at Columbus, took over the J. V. ' s when Coach John Lalley took over the varsity. A junior varsity league has been established in the Triple Cities for the first time. The J. V. ' s play eight league games plus games against junior high teams. The J. V. ' s enable the boys to get needed experi¬ ence for the varsity. VARSITY BASEBALL The outlook for Central ' s varsity baseball team is bright this year with six lettermen returning from last year ' s third place sguad, namely, Jerry Hickey, Ken and Bill Pichette, Frank Micalizzi, Ang Chapula and Charlie Sax. When former coach Ben Gold left Central, Coach John Lalley took over the helm. Twelve conference games have been scheduled, two with each of the Triple Cities schools and one game with each of Cortland, Ithaca, E. S. S. and E. F. A. Practices held daily at Recreation Park began during Easter vacation with 60 candidates trying out. All told. Central ' s championship chances appear good.

SWIM TEAM � «• � “ ££■££-• ttannl ■ r ePM ” e ' Splash Once again the swim team has brought credit to Central High. Lack of competition in the Southern Tier forced the team to travel to Central New York and Pennsylvania. The first match was against West Scranton with an impressive Bulldog victory, 46-17. The next match was swum against the powerful St. Francis High School of Utica. St. Francis eked out a 42-29 victory as did Geneva the follow¬ ing week by a 46-29 score. Traveling once again to Scranton, the Central Bullfish fought Scranton Tech to a tie. Besides these duo meets the mermen finished second in a quad¬ ruple meet. The winner was Scranton Central, the Pennsylvanian State champions. In a triangular meet Central finished last to St. Francis and Scranton Central. The Bullfish ended their season with two impressive victories, both against Auburn High School. The first win was in the West Junior pool by the close score of 39-36. The fol¬ lowing week Central repeated the feat at Auburn by a 43-32 score. This victory was highlighted by the setting of two records by Dave Payne. Since the Central High swim team was the only one in Sectional IV, it can claim that championship also. Probably the most enlight¬ ening news of all is the outlook for next year. This year ' s team is entirely made up of juniors and sophomores. With all of these re¬ turnees, Central is certain to have one of the top teams in the state. Coach Hartung can be proud of the job he has done with these boys. ppn Mm ■ - Page Ninety-Five hurry up With the return of several lettermen, the outlook for this year ' s track team is very good. Among the returnees is Ron Capalaces whose pole vaulting and broad jumping will again assure Central of constant first places in these events. For the high jump John Jones and Bill Stevens have continued their good form and are positive of placing in the jumping event. Bill Hapgood and Charles Petrasek are the team ' s discus and shot put men. For the running events Bill Merrill, Joe Rexford, Bernie Rosefsky and Dick Day form the nucleus. Bill and Joe are 100-yard dash men while Dick runs the 220. Bernie is a quarter-miler. The graduation list took Joe Poodiack and Ed Gulbran leaving Coach Merz in a dither for milers and half-milers. These two events are the weakest ones for Central. Also graduation has taken Central ' s star hurdlers, Corky Lynch, Walt McCarthy and Mike Walsh. These boys were constant point win¬ ners in all previous meets and their loss will be felt. The season opened on April 25 with the Sectional IV relay meet at Vestal. Fol¬ lowing this meet will be duo meets against each of the local high schools and Ithaca. These meets, with the exception of Ithaca, are held on Wednesdays and serve as time trials in preparation of the big meets on Saturdays. These Saturday quadruple meets are run against more distant cities such as Elmira and Utica. The most important meet of all is the Triple Cities meet. On the trophy presented to the victors of this meet, both Central and U. E. have two of the three legs necessary for permanent ownership. This year decides the issue since both schools are fielding the top teams in the area. Those boys who place in the Tri-Cities meet go to the Sectional IV track meet held at Cornell. The Central cinder men hope to win this championship for the second straight year. Everyone who places in the Cornell meet gets the opportunity to enter the New York State meet at West Point in June. At any rate, Coach Merz and the team are looking forward to a victorious season which may show a repeat of last year ' s undefeated record.

' i t t Bowling.... Binghamton Central ' s Bowling team is at the top of the bowling con¬ ference this year. The varsity, under the direction of Coach Frank Clark, has gone, thus far, unbeaten. The varsity players are Mike Hakos, Baron Lawrence, Walter Baran, George Barnes, Ted Noble, Ken De- Munn and George Vashina. Baron Lawrence is tops in scoring followed by Walter Baran and Ted Noble. The season included six regular sched¬ uled games and the Section 4 tournament played on March 28. The J. V. bowlers include Bob Sisolak, Alvin Coen, Bob Trippico, Bob Orsi, Maynard Gilinsky, Sam Peppas, Ronald Moffit and James Lacatina with Trippico, Peppas, Gilinsky, and Lacatina most outstanding among heads up This year a spirited volleyball team marched forward to victory as it went through the season with one defeat and that to J. C. Even though the old gym is in the process of being torn down to make way for a new athletic plant, the team man¬ aged to hike over to Daniel Dickin¬ son to practice and to practice under the guidance of Coach John Lalley to the peak of perfection. Although the graduation in January took Rudy Scheerer from the team ' s roster, the spring team found Dick Kovac lead¬ ing the way with an outstanding team backing. The results of the Sec¬ tionals showed Central winning as a result of an exciting game with Union Endicott High School. Volleyball.... Page Ninety-Seven fore.... Central was fortunate this year in having four lettermen return¬ ing from last year ' s squad which copped second place in the con¬ ference. These lettermen are Dan O ' Neill, Bob Kopecek, Dick Levene and Mike Hakos. Twenty boys, including seven sophomores, showed up at the first meeting which was held prior to Easter vacation. Because the time was short, the boys had to get in shape themselves over the vacation. Eliminations were held to determine positions. Coach Art Sharpsteen retained as many boys as possible so they could gain experience. In previous years practices were held only at Ely Park, but this year the team was allowed to practice, free of charge, at the Bing¬ hamton Country Club and Vestal Hills. All home matches are played at Ely Park. This season a total of eleven matches have been sched¬ uled, namely, U. E., J. C., Ithaca, Elmira Heights, Waverly and Cort¬ land, most of them on a home and home basis. A J. V. match with U. E. was also scheduled. O ' Neill, Kopecek, Levene, Hakos, Okoniewski and Jankiewicz made up the varsity which made a fine record for B. C. H. S.

' •••• With the advent of sunny days and balmy weather, tennis again takes its place with the spring sports. The tennis team this year is made up of four seniors. Jack Mc¬ Cormick, Tim O ' Neil, Bill Altman and Dave Dreyer. Only one. Jack McCormick, is a returning letterman. A sophomore and a freshman complete the team; they are, respectively, Bob Tate and Dan Kane. Central ' s outlook has been bleak with one bright spot in the form of freshman Danny Kane whose better than average tennis gives Coach Guley room for some pleasant speculation into the future. The positions for playing were Jack McCormick, number one; Tim O ' Neil, number two; Dan Kane, number three; Bill Altman, number four, and Bob Tate or Dave Dreyer playing number five. The schedule this season consisted of six matches plus the Sec¬ tionals. The Tennis Sectionals were held this year at Binghamton ' s Recreation Park with Central as host team.

One of the many sports activities which are offered to Central girls is swimming. In order to take swimming the girls must pass the physical examination which are given at the Central Clinic. Every Thursday night from November to March the girls meet at the West Junior pool, since Central has no pool of its own, as yet. This year 15 girls out of the class, which is directed by Miss Margaret Frear, began an eight-week senior lifesaving course on January 29th. The eight (out of the 15) girls who passed the written and practical test were: Eleanor Ball, Evelyn Ball, Barbara Grabosky, Susan Cowen, Nan Pearlman, Cheryl Jahns, Dyhan McCollom and Ellen Clune. Besides this, the regular activities, such as water bas¬ ketball and free swim, also continued. Basketball.... Since Central High does not have its own gym yet, every Tuesday night Central High girls can go over to West Junior to play bas¬ ketball. This year the captains of the six teams were Barbara Alexander, Evelyn Heiyen, Theresa Lomonaco, Sue Standfast, Lois Maston and Connie Meir. After a season of hard play¬ ing, under the direction of Miss Peggy Freat and Lt. Francis Cams, Sue Standfast ' s team came in first, Nancy Meir ' s, second; Terry Lomonaco ' s, third; Lois Maston ' s and Evelyn Heiyen ' s tied for fourth, and Connie Touijee ' s, fifth. Next year, when Central has its own gym, the girls will miss these basketball games and other sports they have played nights at the West Junior gym. Bowling .... Bowling is a very enjoyable sport in which many high school students participate. At Cen¬ tral we have bowling teams for girls and boys. Each member of a team tries very hard to ob¬ tain the best average because trophies are given annually to the best bowler and to the top team. The girls ' team at Central is spon¬ sored by the Police Athletic League. Besides competing among themselves, Central ' s teams play against other bowling teams of other high schools in the city. For those who do not know how to bowl, instructions are given not only about rules of the game but also how to learn to keep score. Bowling is not only good exer¬ cise but is enjoyed as a pleasant sport for both boys and girls. Judy Bartley discussing basketball pointers with Punky Kenney, Maureen Galvin, and Pam Crossley.
