Bolivar Central School - Gusher Yearbook (Bolivar, NY)

Text from Pages 1 - 100 of the 1949 volume:

Our cj Llma SWater BOLIVAR CENTRAL SCHOOL r 4 djore word The term Forty-niner has come to occupy a unique position in the vocabulary of those who are familiar with American History. It exemplifies the love of adventure; it connotes courage and faith in self; it suggests the essence of inquiry, the search for truth, and the extension of horizons. It symbolizes those personal attributes and national qualities that are peculiarly American. Today these same qualities that were so evident a century ago call for expression in a world quite different from that of 1849. The call of the West no longer beckons youth by providing an avenue through which the desire for adventure, mastery, and romance can be satisfied. The continent is explored. The days of homestead-ing are history. Life in the United States is characterized by speed, power, and the thousand and one ways in which technology has modified our pattern of living. During the past century the age of mechanics came into being only to be eclipsed by electricity and now by atomic energy. In 1949 youth must seek his conquests in such fields as the laboratory, he factory, the halls of government, the classroom, and in the solution of the manifold social and economic problems of contemporary society. The pioneers of 1949 will travel by plane rather than by covered wagon. The rifle and sword will be replaced by the precision instruments of the laboratory, and the fields of exploration will no longer be the vast reaches of western plains but rather the broad category of social and economic adjustment as man, unchanged by the centuries, struggles toward the achievement of new goals. It is, therefore, most appropriate that today, 100 years removed ff S this period of historical romance, we adopt as the theme for our current “Gusher,” the Forty-niners. 5 —W. Cecil Davis dedication The Class of 1949 is honored to dedicate this book to a distinguished friend and patron of education — Miss Mary McDermott. A graduate of Bolivar High School, Geneseo State Teachers College and Columbia University, Miss McDermott taught in the local schools for several years before joining the faculty of Ypsilanti State Teachers College. For the past nineteen years she has been a member of the Bolivar Board of Education, bringing to this field of public service a background of experience rich in the understanding of its problems and motivated always by a desire to serve without compromise the best interests of the community that she so ably represents. Both the faculty and the student body join with the Class of 1949 in extending this deserved and happy recognition. This 1 learned from the shadow of a tree That to and fro did sway upon the wall: Our shadow selves—our influence—-ma fall Where we ourselves can never be. 6 ■—Photographs by Roland Studio miss mary McDermott 7 6he Miss Mary McDermott r. o - c iBoard Of Education Mr. C.

The theme of this book is the Forty-niners. In it we shall try to depict by analogy those fine qualities of leadership and courage that characterized this pioneer group. Every great enterprise has its pioneers. Our school is no exception. Therefore, we recognize our debt of gratitude to those of our local citizens who have earned men-bership in this distinguished group. We would mention in particular Miss Mary McDermott and Mr. L. A. Champlin. who have served as directors since the establishment of our present central school. To these two persons, as well as to their associates, we extend our gratitude, our sincere appreciation, and our best wishes. Yours sincerely. The Class of 1949 9 Principal W. CECIL DAVIS, Principal B.S., M.S., M.A., M.Ed.' Lite. D. We have been exceptionaLy fortunate throughout our four years in high school to have Mr. Davis as our principal. Since our first acquaintance, he has been extremely understanding and helpful in solving our many problems. The advice he has given us is truly that of a learned man. It will, we now realize, prove useful to us all our lives. His friendly interest in and invaluable suggestions concerning our activities have contributed much toward the outstanding success in our numerous projects. For these and for innumerable other services rendered, we, the Class of ’49, wish sincerely to thank “Prof.” Davis. ice-principal ■r H i I We shall always remember Mr. Perrone as the one who kept us on the right path during our high school careers. He punished us when we misbehaved and complimented us when we deserved it. Never has he hesitated to do us a reasonable favor. Those of us who took mathematics will think of him as an unforgettable teacher. He never failed to make those puzzling problems seem miraculously simple. Mere words can not express that heartfelt gratitude we shall always feel toward “Tony.” in I Sfaculty Mrs Bernice Baldwin Mrs. Dorothy Bentley Junior High Mathematics and Algebra Home Economics Geneseo State Teach- Buffalo State Teachers ers College College Mr. Robert Bielhfeld B.

Glass Prophecy The blazing sun was beating down mercilessly upon the hot desert sands. For hours the monoton' ous sameness of this uninterrupted landscape had greeted me in every direction when suddenly, choking from thirst and searching the horizon for a place of promised relief, my gaze fell upon what appeared to •. be the outline of an abandoned castle. Its spires pierced the sky and its massive foundations resembled the structure of a great fortress. Could this really be true or was it all but a mirage or the wishful illusion of a weary and hopeful traveler? The shock of speculation as to this strange experience was too great even to be overcome by the marked discipline that I attempted to impose upon myself, for suddenly I lost consciousness, only to awake after a time, the length of which I shall perhaps never be able to determine except, as the sequence of later events would indicate, it must have been years. Rubbing my eyes. I felt refreshed. I was no longer thirsty nor tired. The knapsack in which I had carried my treasures had crumbled to dust, but the nuggets it contained shone brilliantly, as they had been polished by the storms of years. Carefully collecting these priceless possessions, the yields of labor long past performed, I looked for the castle and there it stood in all its beauty and grandeur. On first sight it had been so impressive that 1 had neglected to see the city that surrounded it. How interesting and how inviting it all appeared. Suddenly my meditation was interrupted by the strange sound of a plane in the sky—then a flash of light outlining the numbers 1975. Could this be the year 1975? Yes, it was and I was looking at the city of the Forty-niners. Would 1 know any of the residents? Well, we’ll see. The first person I saw was Leland Blakeslee, world famous helldiver, surrounded by faithful admirers heartily congratulating him upon his latest victory. For him, however, the day was not one of complete joy, for one of his closest friends had been injured in the day’s race and “Blakes” was anxious to go immediately to the hospital to inquire as to the extent of his injuries. Here we saw nurses, Mary Jean Case, Shirley Montgomery, and Charmian Monroe, assisting the doctor in caring for the injured. The next day the accident received a column and a half in the local newspaper, owned and operated by Jim Herrick and Bob Schnettler. Working for them were Eleanor Hall and Joan McKay. On another page was an ad to buy “Dresses by Charlotte (Bliss) and another to bring all commercial art work to Earl and Lundy (Bill and Dutch). Later, the scene shifted to the new school house, designed by Neil Dempsey with Eugene Best as head engineer. There I found many old schoolmates back in school again. I saw the school nurse’s office, where Phyllis Cowles was dental hygienist and Laura Sherman was the local dietitian. Jim Jordan was the musical director, Mary Hughes was doing pre-kindergarten work, Jackie Dunn teaching second grade, Jean Faulkner, commercial, Pat Ordway, home economics, and Gordon George, agriculture. In Principal Zola Goodridge’s office 1 saw Donna Kuhn, his secretary, talking to Mrs. Edwin Mitchell (Celia Hurd), who was starting her children in school. Then my attention was directed to the surrounding city. Its population, I was told, was over 100,-000. Some called it Bolivar; others spoke of it as the city of the Forty-niners. Rachel Kocher, now a social worker, with the assistance of a sanitary engineer by the name of Wayne Torrey, was cleaning up the slums of the city, having become interested in this work after reading Robert Wood’s best selling novel, “Garbage Alley.” Jim Schena was directing the new public housing project. The scene then shifted to a courtroom where a lawsuit was in progress. The defendant was Ronald Cline, the well known business man. Defending him was Jesse June, a very prominent lawyer, who was assisted by his secretary, Donna Bush. Mr. Cline’s secretary, Marilyn Wasson, was testifying in his behalf. The court stenographer, Jenny Schiralli, was busily taking notes of the proceedings. Continued on Page 27 25 Glass H ill For twelve long and happy years we, the Forty-niners, have explored many areas; we have prospected every claim; we have been rewarded with few disappointments, but many treasures The memory of their acquisition and the personal qualities that these experiences have afforded us we shall carry with us throughout the years to come. The symbols themselves belong to Alma Mater and to our loyal successors. In the hope that the joy of achieving may never be dulled by the absence of its lighter compensations we, the Forty-niners, do solemnly will and bequeath to the class of 1950 the following symbols of identification: I, Eugene Best, do bequeath my musical talents to Margit W'interherger. I. Leland Blakeslee, leave my shortness of stature to Kevin Macdonald. I, Charlotte Bliss, present my card playing ability to Anne Jandrew with the hope that you can sjct better deals than I did.

I, Eleanor Hall, present my sophisticated air to Mickey Cotter in the hope that it will calm her down. I. Jim Herrick, bequeath my dark wavy hair to Jim Champlin. I, Mary Hughes, bestow my sunny disposition upon Barb Campbell. (What will she do with more?) I, Celia Hurd, leave my option on engagement rings to Beverly Moyer. I. Jim Jordan, transfer my wolfing ability to Ed Wallace (You 11 really need to beware now, giris.) I La Verne Jordan, donate my ability to spell to anyone who can decipher my writing. I, Jesse June, present Fred Benjamin with my hatred of missing classes. I, Rachel Kocher, give my position on the “Sentinel to some worthy journalist. I, Donna Kuhn, leave my quiet ways to Jean Millard. (Not that she needs them.) I. Marlene Loucks, bequeath my artistic ability to the entire Junior Class. I. Dutch Lundy, unwillingly do submit my place as class clown (which became evident at Little’ Rock City) to Dick Albert. -♦ I, Joan McKay, will my secretarial ability to Kay Carrier and Thelma Smith. 26 % Glass cWill I, Charmian Monroe, endow Marilyn Miller with my frankness. I, Shirley Montgomery, offer to teach Dick Perry' to drive the way I do. I, Pat Ordway, present Phyllis Hilliard with my homcmaking ability. I, Larry Paffie, bestow upon Russell Lewis my enjoyment of mischief. I, Don Quick, endow my tendency to tease the girls to Paul Hawkes. I, Jim Schena, present my ability not to get along with the teachers to Bill Pounds. 1, Bob Schnettler, bestow upon Mary Ann Cossaboon my sense of humor. 1. Jenny Schiralli, leave my blushing ability to Barb Nicholson. I. Laura Sherman, pass my quiet ways on to Itha Dunshie. I, Phyllis Stives, give some of my shortness to Beverly Wilkinson. I, Wayne Torrey, refuse to leave Thelma to anyone. I want her myself. 1, Marilyn Wasson, do transfer to Barb Holland my shyness. I don't need it any more. I. Marie Wilson, bequeath my ability to get along with people to Naomi PangBum. I, Bob Wood, present my wise remarks to anyone who will accept them. We further leave the following bequests: To Miss Questa, the memories of our three years together. To the girls’ gym classes, boxes of soap for the showers they love so well. To all teachers, peace as the result of our absence. We would like to leave the band new uniforms. However, since this is beyond our power, we leave them the wish that they will get them anyway. Having disposed of these treasures, we now give a hearty farewell to our Alma Mater. Class Prophecy Continued from Page 25 Now appeared a scene in the local glass works, where Donald Quick, glass technician, was instructing workers who were removing molten glass from a furnace. Looking more closely, 1 found among them LaVerne Jordan, Reginald Goodnoe, and Lawrence Paffie. The last scene, in complete contrast, was a prosperous beauty salon, managed by Marie Wilson and Phyllis Stives. Suddenly I heard a noise overhead. I looked up to see a large airliner approaching me. On its side was painted “Codispoti Airlines.” I walked over to the air depot, there to find Marlene Loucks as chief hostess, and my old friend, Jerry, seated in the President's office. Stepping inside, I extended my hand in greeting and received a most cordial welcome from my old classmate, who insisted that I spend the night at his home. It was a happy experience as we visited long into the night, but it was also the instrument of my undoings for, when I awoke the next morning, there I was back in 1949 with an unfinished manuscript for the “Gusher as my pillow and the final date for publication less than a week away. 27 4 7' Ce|aanH ”d 82CharWpdRI,« 4 jerry Cod,spot, V Marlene Loucks 6.

In January, 1946, however, it was reorganized, and five girls of the 1948 graduating class were initiated. This ceremony was held in our auditorium with members of the Wellsville Chapter officiating. These new members inducted six more members in May, 1948. The candidates for this organization are carefully selected by the faculty. Only those who possess outstanding traits of Character, Scholarship, Leadership, and Service, are eligible. Character includes desirable qualities of personality, cooperativeness, and high moral standards. Scholarship is judged by the student’s actual average and desire to learn. Leadership is demonstrated by initiative in the classroom and other activities. Service is the willingness to assist teachers and students alike and to work on committees and in activities for the benefit of his class, school or community. Those who have met the requirements and have been elected members of this society truly have reason to be proud of their achievement. Senioi Back Row Marilyn Reynolds, Helen Pingrey, Beverly Wilson.

The first game of the season was played against a tough Wellsville team. In this game Bolivar suT fered a 39 to 6 defeat after a hard fought game. In the first league game the Bulldogs defeated the Blue Devils of Allegany 20 to 6. In this game Codispoti suffered a knee injury. Canisteo journeyed to the home of the Bolivar Bulldogs to take a trouncing by a score of 25 to 0. An overconfident Bolivar team was held to a scoreless tie by a determined Portville team. Torrey and Lounsberry led the attack to de' feat a much heavier and more experienced Cuba team by a score of 13 to 6. This game was played under lights at Wellsville. The Bulldogs then traveled to Franklinville to win by a score of 26 to 6. Although the Bulldogs de' feated a strong Otto team 6 to 0 in a muddy game, they also suffered a loss when Torrey broke his collar bone. Interest ran high between the communities of Bolivar and Portville as the final game was to decide the Allc'Catt Championship. How can we ever forget what the Bulldogs did that day as they triunv phantly brought home the much coveted trophy? Ice cream at Elliott's, free movies, and a football ban-quet were among the well earned rewards of our championship team.

Don Shaner, Bob C ossa boon, and Jerry Codispoti. The only returning veterans were center, Robert Wainman, and guard, Ed Wallace. At the beginning of the season, Coach Latimer had a difficult time in deciding which five bovs he should combine to play at a team. After a great deal of hard practice, Sonny Cummings, Neil Dempsey, Don Quick, and Bill Earl were moved up to play with the two veterans, Wainman and Wallace. Other boys on the team were Jim Herrick, Bob Schnettler, Jim Jordan, Herb Claflin, and Jim Bentley. When the season ended, the Bulldogs were a little disappointed that they took second place in the Allegany County B league. The teams which made up this league are Bolivar. Alfred'Almond, Cuba and Fillmore. Bolivar ended the season with 10 victories and 8 defeats. At the end of the season, an AlbStar Team, composed of the out' standing players of the league, was formed. Bolivar placed sopho' more Sonny Cummings as forward on this team.

V.'s were very disappointing, since they lost to Alfred-Almond by a score of 36 to 39 and to Allegany by one point. 18 to 19. During the season the boys racked up 676 points to the opponents' 361. Since the J. V. squad was very large, Mr. Cawley had an opportunity to switch the boys around when they were not playing up to their capacity. Some of the boys who played J. V. ball this year will be moved up to play varsity ball next season. In Mr. Cawley’s opinion, the moving up of these boys will not seriously affect the J. V. squad. With the boys that remain and the , � -boys coming up from the freshman class, he expects to have a very successful j |l season.

We played six league games between Cuba, Wellsville, and Alfred-Almond. In addition to these games, we played Richburg and Allentown about twice a week in practice games. Mr. Dunning deserves much credit for the way he has worked with the team. If we don't succeed in heading the league this year, we hope to have the best team in the county in future years.
