Text from Pages 1 - 88 of the 1940 volume:

THE 1939-1940 GUSHER BOLIVAR CfRTRRL SCHOOL BOLIVAR, NEW YORK OR AND SEfMOR GLASSES f o mu o« d THE YEARS we have spent in the Bolivar Central School have been indeed very happy ones. This book is a resume of our friendships, activities, achievements, and the thoughts of what our school has come to mean to us. conn CLASS DIVISION . ACTIVITIES DIVISION ATHLETIC DIVISION FEATURE DIVISION ADVERTISING uliauce by the unflagging effort of the Board of Education toward the betterment of our Bolivar Central School. . . imbued with gratitude for their paternal attitudes and favors, we feel honored to this body to devote the pages of this book as a lasting monument in an attempted measurement of their efforts. My hearty congratulations are extended to Miss Clare C. Lawler, advisor of the Gusher staff, and to the Junior and Senior Classes of Bolivar Central School upon the successful attainment of their goal—the publication of an outstanding biennial. 1 consider this year’s GUSHER the best book of its kind I have been privileged to see. It shows commendable initiative and a praiseworthy determination to keep away from the commonplace methods so often used by those who publish school annuals. Among the innovations that stand out in this year’s hook special mention should be made of the pencil sketchi igs, color-plates, and the new cover design. In a number of ways it seems to me this year’s GLJSHER shoidd rate higher than the splendid edition of 1937-1938 which received next to the highest rating among the school publications scored by the Interscholastic Press Association of Western New York. This is a larger publication than its predecessors a hook that teachers as well as pupils will prize and keep for a cherished reminder of the happy years spent in Bolivar Central School. May it serve to hind us closer in the friendships of our scholastic Alma Mater. I wish to express my personal appreciation of the painstaking, efficient labor that has made possible this volume, which carries out so admirably the spirit of our slogan, “In a bigger and better Bolivar, the best of school systems.” Helen E.

We are stronger, and are better. Under manhood’s sterner reign: Still we feel that something sweet Followed youth with Hying feet. And will never come again. Something beautiful is vanished. And we sigh for it in vain; We behold it everywhere, On the earth, and in the air. But it never comes again. Richard Henry Stoddard 12 CLASSES MI.MAN L. NEUGENT Junior President Senior President Cheer Leader, 4 S£II10R CLASS HISTORy WE CAME as Freshmen into a new category and found ourselves bewildered at our lack of knowledge. High School seemed so large, and we—so small. As Sophomores, our power to charm was still undetermined; however, we easily overcame the obstacles, which we encountered in our second year, and set our hearts on an even more successful Junior year. Success was triumphant in this year under the capable leadership of our President, Lillian Neugent, and of our Class Adviser, Miss Pauline Darrohn. Our play, “And Home Came l ed,” was the most outstanding event on the class calendar. This was followed by our Junior Prom and memorable Junior and Senior Banquet. Freshman, Sophomore, Junior, and at last our Senior year—our Mecca. The curtain rose on our supreme feature of the year, “Campus Quarantine.” We are elated over our successes of the past few years. We are indebted to a great degree to Miss Pauline Darrohn, our adviser, for her untiring efforts in helping us to accomplish our aims. Our debt of gratitude does not stop here, but extends to our President, Lillian Neugent. Lillian’s executive ability has placed her in the foremost ranks of the Senior Class. Her charm has earned for her the respect and affection of her classmates. 14 THOMAS ACKERM Gushf.r, Rand 1-2-3-4, Football 4, Class President 1, Student Council 2 His gift of mental alertness and dependability has been shown worthy of any trust.

CLAUD POTTER Band 2-3-4, Basketball 2, Student Council 3, Senior Play, Gusher There is a depth to this gentleman that is harely discernible.

As our class advisor we chose Mr. Myers. We felt more substantial the next year when we returned as Sophomores. We entered more of the activities and others considered us more important. We asked Mr. Donnelly to help us through this year. At last in 1936 we were duhhed upper classmen. With more to look forward to than ever before, we elected Gene Salzer as class president. Not only because of his ability to play the trumpet but also because of his capable leadership and genial personality is he known as one of the indispensable Juniors. We chose Miss Vaughn as our ever loyal class advisor. Realizing that this was the year which was paving the way to the security of the Senior Class we were highly elated when our first activity “The Green Light” proved a success. Of course the highlights of the year were the Junior-Senior dance and the Junior-Senior banquet. Next year we return as Seniors vowing to attain a higher standard than ever before in our high school career. 22 —D.M.H. ’40. WAYNE BALDWIN Band 3, Glee Club 3 Wayne may live in the country but he isn’t a bit backward with the girls, especially a certain Freshman. RICHARD C. BALL A satellite of Senior “Bill” Nagle, “Dick’s” impromptu appearance at classes and inattentiveness were ever amusing. PHILIP BARBER Student Council 1, Baseball 2, Jr. Varsity Basketball 3, Actor’s Guild 3 “Phil” has a brilliant future as a cartoonist, so beware, or you may unknowingly become his model. FRANCIS BARRETT When this young Ceres man graduates from B.C.S., the girls will just have to grin and “Barrett.” MARY JANE CARRIER Gusher Staff 3, Alpha Sigma Chi 3, Basketball 1-2-3, Hmk. s Club 3, Glee Club 1-2-3. f Hercoquettish manner is amusing it you can escape unscarred from her flirtations. V JUCHARD CHILDS hooAll 1-2-3, Basketball 1-2-3, BaseHlI 1-2, Track 2, Varsity B l-2-3 ientinel Staff 2 We can forgive Dick’s refusal to converse with us. It has shown us that he preferred to use his strength on athletics rather than talking. 23 ROSE Cl AM PA Gusher Staff 3, Sentinel Staff 2 “Dolly” may be a little body but, oh my! Her long curls, pleasing smile, studiousness, and magnetic personality “get you.” VIRGINIA A. COWLES Vice-President 3, Basketball 1-2-3, Alpha Sigma Chi 1-2-3, Varsity B 1-2-3 Just because “Babe” is tiny, you needn’t think her classmates have overlooked her. Her “sporting way” has made this an impossibility. PHYLLIS A. COYLE Alpha Sigma Chi 2-3, Basketball 2-3, Press Club 2, Latin Club 3 Phyllis can justly be called the indispensable Junior. She is always “ready, willing, and able.” PHYLLIS M. DAY Glee Club 1-2-3, Soccer 3 Phyllis has us guessing. We are wondering who the special one is. Don’t keep us in suspense too long, Phyllis. PHYLLIS M. DUNNING Glee Club 1-2-3, Cheer Leader 3, Basketball 1-2-3, Alpha Sigma Chi 2-3 Never a dull moment with this little miss around. She was ever entertaining her friends with her carefree manner. ESTHER EMERSON Hmk. Club 3 Her shyness has kept us from knowing her intimately, but we know her future holds much success in store for her. STEWART IRVIN Stewart has a rare smile, but when he does smile it is like the sun breaking through a cloud on a gloomy day. AUGUST JOHNSON We don’t hear much from this ambitious son of the F. F. A. but we know he has a likeable nature. KEITH JORDAN Band 1-2-3 Keith is seldom seen at basketball games without his ice cream equipment which, by the way, he sells for the F. F. A. sephronia McCarthy Sephronia’s goal is designing clothes and from what we have seen, her future is bound to be a success. ROSEMARY GREENE Basketball 2-3, Gusher Staff 3, Hmk. Club 2-3, Varsity B 2, Alpha Sigma Chi 2-3 Her artistic ability can’t be overlooked, nor can her frequent blush and jovial disposition. DORIS M. HILL Junior Play 3, Basketball 2-3, Gusher Staff 3, Cbeer Leader 3, Athletic Council 3 She’s one of the Juniors we couldn’t get along without. She is exceedingly popular as her activities show. 25 JOHN MILGATE Hand 1-2-3, Sentinel Start 2 “Johnny” tries to appear destitute of knowledge but need we say that he’s one of the wittiest and brightest students in our midst? ROBERT MITCHELL Basketball 1-2-3, Band 1-2-3, Glee Club 2-3, Varsity B 1-2, Sentinel Staff 2 One of our classmates whom we admire for his athletic ability. “Bob” has a pleasing disposition and is a friend to all. DONALD NAGLE Basketball 3, President 1, Latin Club 3 A Junior artist now, but “Don” will soon be a Senior artist. We hope that his brush will earn for him a place in the hall of fame. ROBERT NAGLE Basketball 3, Track 2-3, Sentinel 2, Secretary 2 “Bob” is as like his brother as “two peas in a pod,” both being witty, and artistically inclined. Therefore, may we extend the same wish to you, “Bob”? JACK NEUGENT Football 1-2-3, Basketball 1-2, Baseball 2, Track 2, Varsity B 1-2 Noted for “mowing them down” on the football field, he is also the popular “King of the Junior Class.” ETHEL M. NEW TON Glee Club 1-2, Gusher Staff 3, Soccer 3, Hmk. Club 3, Junior Play 3 A jolly Junior whose worthwhile motto seems to be, “Don’t give up the ship.” Ethel’s reliableness will surely take her places in the vocation she selects. 26 RAY PAYNE Ray is an industrious member of the F. F. A., and could well be called the “pop-corn man of B.C.S.” JOHN RAYMOND “Johnny” is an example of big things coming in small packages and we were pleased to find him among our classmates. BETTY ROCKWELL Basketball 1-2-3, Gusher Staff 3, Alpha Sigma Chi 1-2-3, Varsity B 1-2-3, Glee Club 1-2-3 We hope Betty isn’t serious about going away to school next year, for we would surely miss her sunny smile and vivacity. BEATRICE SEXTON Basketball 1-2-3, Glee Club 1-2-3, Student Council 3, Athletic Council 3, Alpha Sigma Chi 1-2-3 “Buddy’s” activities show that she knows how to “win friends and influence people.” WILLIAM SHANNON “Billy” is one of those loyal Juniors. To see him without a Junior candy bar is like seeing a leopard without its spots. MARY ALICE STIVES Everyone finds this new Junior as pleasant and likeable as “Tommy” does. We’re thankful that he doesn’t monopolize all of her time. 27 WILLIAM M. SWAIN, JR. Band 2-3, Glee Club 2-3, Sentinel Staff 2, Basketball 3 “Bill” to his classmates, a very likeable fellow, but sometimes hard to understand because of his vast vocabulary. MARY A. SWARTHOUT Glee Club 1-2, Soccer 3 Mary’s dependability, efficiency and keen mind, make her a classmate of whom the Juniors can be justly proud. ALVIN WALLACE Football 1-2-3, Basketball 1-2-3, Band 1-2-3, Glee Club 2-3, Varsity B 1-2-3 “Al” is a happy-go-lucky fellow who seldom takes tipie out to be serious. JAMES R. WASSON Glee Club 3, Band 1-2-3 0 “Squeeks” to his comrades. You are delighted by his unusual laughter. He is also known as a good sport. DOROTHY WETHERBY Glee Club 1-2-3, Band 1-2 This Junior lass is very fond of music as her activities show. We hope she continues in this field. MARK WHITE We wonder if in years to come, we won’t find “Corky” on a little farm near by and he may not be alone, either. 28 ROBERT WHITFORD Band 1-2-3 “Bob” believes the proverb “like father, like son.” He is slowly but surely following in his father’s footsteps. JOHN WILCOX We hear very little from or about this lad, but what we do hear, you may be sure, is worth listening to. JAMES M. WILLIAMS, JR. Sentinel Staff 2, Football 3 I bis jolly Junior strolled along in our Sophomore year and has adopted the than never.’ IVAN F. WILSON Band 1-2-3, Football 2-3 We wonder if Ivan ever considered the possibility of playing with the “Hoosier Hotchas” on Uncle Ezra’s program.

We are all envious of her wealth of silky black hair. 29 First row, left to right: M. Hulbert, S. Burdick. J. Eisert, W. Hunt. B. Maxson, .. Shaner, B. Prince, J. Thomas, H. Pirc. P. Schultz, P.

As Freshmen we were very enthusiastic and eager to absorb all the knowledge and training the years might bring to us. We elected our class officers for President, James Ingalls; Vice-President, Marilyn Shaner; Secretary, Shirley Monroe, and as home teacher and advisor the very efficient Mr. Coplai. With this, our first task accomplished, we were ready for anything which might come our way. Our first class party was a tremendous success, and as for talent, we lacked for nothing. We not only had twenty in the Glee Club but also had eighteen in the hand. Several skating parties were enjoyed during the winter and at the end of the school year we had one big and very enjoyable picnic at Cuba Lake, where one of our members and a chaperon grew slightly skittish on the Merry-go-round. I his year we again elected officers, with James Ingalls, our choice for President, Beverly Shaner for Vice-President, and Marilyn Shaner for Secretary. Because of his cooperation, sincereness and popularity, Mr. Coplai is again our home teacher and advisor. W e have had but two skating parties this winter, but we are looking forward and making plans for a barn dance and farewell party to top off our second year of high school. 1 he first two years have passed quickly and pleasantly, bringing lasting and true friendships and enlightenment which we hope to increase greatly in our Junior and Senior years. “We,” the class of ’41, with sincere thanks to our teachers for their help and guidance, leave our best wishes with the class of ’42 and look forward eagerly to becoming Juniors. —M.S. ’41. 30 First row, left to right: L.

In high spirits we went to our classes to learn we must work to keep ahead. We, being familiar with the arrangement, were divided into separate rooms. The hoys under the direction of Mr. Myers and the girls under that of Miss East. James Shaner was elected Class President; Merle Joy, Vice-President; and Dorothy Burdick as Secretary-Treasurer. As our class advisor we chose Mr. Kvser. The Freshman class has been an active participant in all social affairs including many skating parties. The Civic Banquet was conducted largely by the Freshmen with our Class President as master of ceremonies. Being lower classmen we have as yet been accredited with no noteworthy accomplishments. But under the guidance of our advisors we feel prepared for whatever future years may bring. — D.J.B. ’42. 31 Alma Mater Alma Mater children gather From anear and far Coast to coast her sway extended High her guiding star.

Singing solely for the enjoyment afforded seems to have been the aim of succeeding foursomes as well. This year, the quartette’s program has been principally one of social activities. It has furnished entertainment for many local organizations. We extend to this and succeeding quartettes, our best wishes.

C. S. auditorium on November 17, 1938, earned a definite high in hilarious comedy and delightful nonsense. The play directed by Miss Pauline Darrohn was a resounding success both economically and socially. An able and eager cast gave the production an unparalleled zest and sparkle. It was good entertainment in every sense of the word and an outstanding achievement of our Senior year. 40 Seated, left to right: I'. Dunning. D. Hill, R. (ircene, E. Newton, .VI. Carrier, I .

Her greatest accomplishment was in winning first place in the national finals at Columbus, Ohio and Albany. Later she was selected to play in a National Band which represents various schools. IRENE RICHARDSON ’38 was first chair coronet player for three years in the B. C. S. Band where she was very successful. She was champion in 1938 for sectional finals at Jamestown and third place in the national contest at Albany. F RANCES h ERDON, 38 was piano accompanist for the B. C. S. Glee Club for two years.

Returning home they encountered the St. Bernard’s eleven. This was a 13-7 victory for our team. Another victory was accumulated at Allegany, the final score being 6-0. We suffered three defeats this year Cuba, 6-0; Port Allegany, 27-0; and a return game with Portville. 20-0. Due to the class of competition and injuries suffered by our boys, we feel this was a very successful season. V 48 Seated left to right: R. Barnes, R. Mitchell, R. Best. P. Richardson, R. Dunning, A.

The scrappy basketball players who pulled down the title for B. C. S. With Phil Richardson as captain, our team played a decidedly eventful and successful season. Throughout the basketball season, Phil held high score nearly every game. The quiet, but ambitious Dick Childs was able to take this honor from Phil in the Cuba game. The “midget” of the team, “Bus” Dunning, came out with the lead in the Richburg game, on our court. A great deal of credit goes to Ralph Best, a dependable guard. Bill Monroe, though he isn’t the fastest man on the team, was in there fighting. The giant of the team, Dick Barnes, deserves his share of the honors. Glory, honor and congratulations are due every basketball man of the 1939 season. They have given us exciting, fast and championship basketball. Our hats are off to them! ! ! The B. C. S. team of 1940 has great possibilities having gone through this season with only one defeat. 49 Baseball The Bolivar Central School Baseball Team is in the thick of the race for the County Championship, with a veteran and much improved team. Followers of the team have high hopes for a successful season. The first encounter was with Richburg at Richburg with Monroe and Dempsey, Batteries, Captain Dunning, Root and Salzer on the bases. Childs, Rathe and Nagle roamed the outfield while Newton held down the short-stop position. Bolivar came out on top by an overwhelming score. We can see nothing but a pennant winner after such an impressive victory. Stated, left to right: R. Mitchell, (� . Newton, J. Ncugenr, VV assistant coach: K. Salzer, D. Dempsey, D. Nagle, F.

And to the new staff, we would urge in all sincerity that they check the difference in yearbook publishing organizations on every point of creative assistance, financial management, editorial direction and complete responsibility which must he faced in anv college annual production.
