We miss and mourn her. As a friend and adviser to the members of this class and many others who have gone before us, she was an inspiration and won our deepest admiration and respect. We shall never forget her. ' -Catherine Bonventre Page 3 Dr. Mahlon H. Atkinson I Page 4 Mr. Howard E. Silberstein President B U ll Vice President EDUCATHUN Mr. Gerald R. Hallenbeck Dr. George L. Branch Mr. George F. Holdridge Mr. Frank H. Cooke Clerk of the Board The world needs sorely what youth can bring it. Hold on-we say to you-to certain qualities natural to youth, which, in the-A really creative personalities, last through life--the touch of idealism, the accent' of courage, the willingness to take a risk, the ardor for generous causes, the hope of mankind. More than any other gift needed in our time, are the gifts of generosity, fortitude, and vision. Your fresh start, young men and women, can be a fresh start for the world. The President l MR. PAUL T. SELLERS SUPERINTENDENT OF SCHOOLS Let ns have faith that Right Makes Might, and in that faith let us to the end dare to do our duty as 'we understand it. Abraham Lincoln Character when motivated by a high religion is the one element that deter- mines the progress of a nation or a civilization. The kind of religion that functions in the daily lives of a people through ideals of generosity of spirit, of sacrifice for the general welfare, of honor, duty, patience, courage and humility, of kind- ness, understanding, industry, and conciliation will sustain us through the trying periods both of adversity and of prosperity, and maintain the continuity of the long march of progress and greatness of our institutions and our country. Huge- ness in area, resources, population and military power may provide a temporary moving inertia, but only this kind of character can sustain a true greatness in our people. 'i Paul T. Sellers Page 5 Page 6 Mrs. Rusack and Mr. Jonas What greater or better gift can 'we offer than to teach amt to instruct our youth. HN APPREQHATHUN TO MRS. RUSACK AND MR. JONAS We should like to say thank you for all you have done for us. Although at times we may have been troublesome, both of you by your patience and under- standing have guided us through our high school days and are continuing to assist and guide us in our greatest undertaking, Our Yearbook. We appreciate your help greatly. s The Class of 1948 RHP VAN WHNKLE STAFF By the work one knows the workmen.

Page 9 i A uf is ,,, C-Zvliaia We, the class of forty-eight, Of sound mind, do solemnly state: Thru' the years we have come And we've had lots of fun! Most of us began way back in thirty-five, And a whole year of kindergarten we did survive, To enter the schools of grammar, Where over our lessons we would stammer. From thirty-six thru' forty-two We did not know what we would dog For a vacation we had one desire: To finish school and then retire. Then came grade seven and C. H. S., Where we met each other and had to confess That it was different from Irving or Grandview, Cementon, Leeds and Palenville too. No more playing. This would all be work And from our studies we could not shirk. With all the books we had to carry, We resembled a lending library. Here we had a class called detention fln our schedule this they did not mention lj No more standing with gum in our cheek! QWe'd be entered in this class for a week lj One more obstacle overcome in our career! But in our hearts we had the fear, That, from seventh grade we would retire Out of the frying pan, into the fire. The year went by, none too fast, And the eighth grade came at last. We were still too young to realize, by golly, That here there was more work than there was 'follyr Then summer vacation and fun galore, - b But we had to look toward school once more, To become Freshmen in Junior High: -And we entered this class with a sigh. Our first class meeting and ai fond recollection Of the ofiicers we chose at this election: Jonas as adviser and Scarlata at the reins, Newman and Beare assisted the brains , The Thanksgiving Dance in our Freshman Year, Will be unforgettable, never fear! A But to celebrate our release from the joint We took a day boat ride to Kingston Point. Page 10 ,T 7 34g . . cr gl w as ,gud Z? 1' J '5fR?elf.aY4 . -9 1 wr- '15 1 ,7 :- tm 549 . . Mia:-' 3. ?:W'2S,' if 5 N . I iam The month of September again rolled 'round And much to our enjoyment Q ?j we found Sophomores would be our new class title, And from then on we would not be idle. Our rulers were Annese, Benton and Heron, Mr. Jonas again our adviser, and there on We had to raise money as all classes do, So we sponsored a dance and a food' sale, too. When June came round, we decided to take A picnic trip to Taghkanic Lake: A grand celebration was had by all To await the opening of school in the fall. Anthony Scarlata again did appear As Mr, Washington in our Junior Year. Beare and Newman were one year wiser And Mr. Jonas was again our adviser. We increased our finances By sponsoring two dances Then we started to dream About our Junior Prom theme. The committees were elected, A night in May was selected, For Una Fiesta Mexicana , and From Albany came a band. A wonderful time was had by all At the Gay night in Mexico ball. The funds were needed for the Year Book: For we'd have one, by hook or by crook. We held a meeting to decide one thing: That was the type of Senior Class ring. We would wear it in the coming fall If we were to become seniors at all. The decision would be made real soon, As final exams on a hot day in June Would tell if as Juniors we'd return fnot that lj Or if as Seniors we would go to bat. Our goal was reached, and then September came 'round again. We chose two advisers to'guide us, and thus Elected our officers without a fuss. Scarlata, Weitlauf, Seiderer, and Doebler took a chance And we agreed with them on a dance. If our year book fund was to increase I Our efforts simply could not cease. Page 1 1 Cfaaa Zalfoz We had to make money by other means, So we sold ice cream and magazines, A Date With Judy our Senior Play, - V Was shown in December, and not in May. Our Year Book data was collected And by Mrs. Rusack was corrected To make the errors less Before submitting it to the press. And now, as our school years draw to a close We hope that the vocations we chose Will aid, us in the coming years To overcome our enormous fears. Misery or enjoyment, whichever you prefer, Has been our prerogative to incur, A good education and plenty of knowledge, Whether we stay at home or go to college. It took 25 stanzas to state Our class history up to date. And so we say farewell with a sigh, To the rest of the students of Catskill High!

V. team took over the Varsity uniform this year, and, sparked by little John Meo, are giving a good account of themselves. Playing a stiffer schedule than C. H. S. has had in many years, they are carrying on the tradition of Good Basketball for Catskill. BASKETBALL SCORES Nov. 21 Windham Home Dec. Dec. Dec.

The Worldfs a fine believing worldj write news. Through the Echo, the pupils are granted the opportunity to develop their literary instincts. The main purpose of the paper is to familiarize the student body and the community with current news about our school. f61 Gramp Jonas sits by the fire and one by one Cten to be exactj his grandchildren leave the room quietly so as not to disturb the master while he sleeps. It must be a terrible nightmare as he keeps grunting and tearing at his toupee. Let's see what this nightmare is about. Ah! Themist is clearing. There is JOE ANNESE who is working at his life's ambition, that of being a bartender. It seems this is the quickest way to get at those cokes . It is quite a place too, and right in the middle of Manhattan. It is owned by ANTHONY YERKOVICH and is called, Tony's Torrid Tamales of Times Square. Tony has just welcomed his best cus- tomer, HEINZ BAUER, the famous criminal lawyer, who is still fighting Mr. Light in law class. Here come two famous women columnists, EVA BARBER and JANICE BEERS, who run a new column in the Catskill Daily Mail called: Little Eva's Advice to the Lovelornf' It seems that HELEN BEARE, who is still trying to Hnd the perfect husband, is their regular customer. GEORGE BLENNER, professor of French, in his own college, Blenner's Ecole at la mode , has just come in for some refreshments. He is going to help CATHERINE BONVENTRE, who is still doing her chemistry homework given to her by Mr. Sylvia. Catherine simply cannot remember the formula for phosphoric acid. Well, it looks as if DORIS BRINK'S Wed- ding gown, that she has been designing for the last fifteen years, is Hnally going to be worn at a wedding. But not her own. VVhat is that commotion over in the corner? Why, it is DOROTHY CALCAGNINI enter- taining her six ex-husbands at a party announcing her engagement to a seventh. Lucky girl, she is still receiving alimony from the first. One mem- ber of her party is LORRAINE CARL, author of Peek for men only. f.62fl JOANN COLONY just entered with DANIEL DARLING. She still doesn't knqw whether to marry him or not. He seems tooytall for her, as she likes them short. Q wen, theres BETTY DOEBLER, the eiiiigig A on sitting on the boss's knee. She is the best .N tomer of her brother, WILLIAM DOEBLE ffl 'six ff factory which manufactures his new invention? Specialized Knee Pads for Daring Bosses. S 1, JOHN FAIRBANKS who still goes to Cats- kill High, just entered with ROBERT SAUER. He has a worried look on his face. He still does not understand women! But look at ANTHONY SCARLATA, he just found out. ELEANOR SEIDERER and ALICE FIS- TER are secretaries to EUGENE GOLD- SCHLAG and JERRY GOTTLIEB, co-owners of Goldschlag's and Gott1ieb's Gingham Dress Company, who have just employed ROBERTA GROBE as their new model. DOLORES O'GRADY and BEVERLY HARTMAN are trying to cross a bee with a chicken to satisfy their husbands. They have formed a union and Bray's Bees and Chick's Chickens in the future will be known as Bricks . JOAN HERON looks quite well after her horrible operation. The doctor left his scalpel in her abdomen and she finally got the point. JOHN JACKSON, leader of his famous Sinners of Syncopated Swing , has a new vocalist, THOMAS KRALJEVICH. This is the crooner for whom BETTY HANKINSON left her handsome actor husband and two kiddies. ROBERT KUSISTO and TEDDY LANGE' own a citrus grove in Florida called, Lange's Lemon Lime Grove. It seems that Robert wants to sue because he wishes this to be changed to Kusisto's Crushed Grapefruit Grove . . Chi Www ec . JOHN LINK, multimillionaire manufacturer of electrical bow-ties, is getting a divorce from DQIAORES MACARELLI because she insists onfipending all his money on ice cream. ,ff'Q'WDELINA MEYER has her troubles keep- ,ack of her 15 children. They always annoy MoRELL1, the big policeman on the iibrner, by pouncing on him and stealing his gun. F5 PATRICK NEZICH has discovered a new Wonder cure-all for anything that ails you . This will cure anything from a hangnail to a split infinitive. He is going to experiment on SHIR- LEY PARKS, the famous equestrienne. She is still trying to decide on whether to raise horses or children. ANTOINETTE PELLEGRINO'S vocation was to be a nurse, but I see a sign on her door reading, Home For Bachelors, Only Young Men Wanted . She has NICK MEO as her man- ager and star boarder. QWonder whyj ROBERT REITHER, whose name is sacred in the Carnival World because of Reither's Rigorous Flea Circus, is having a new manager, KEITH ROBERTS, who tends the fleas and bathes them each night. NORMAN SCHUMAN is still fighting Congress to put through a bill preventing chil- dren's homes from being built not less than ten blocks away from the school. HERBERT SCOTT, Beautician and Mas- seur for women, and his secretary, JOAN SNYDER, have just opened a new salon on Park Avenue. It will be called Scott's Slinky Salon for Shaded Shapes. JANE STERRITT, who heard of his extremely good business, has stolen the formula and has employed HELEN STOKES and THELMA PYSHER as finished products. 7.7.7. . q CORNELIUS VAN HEEST, Muscle Man of the East, and his wife, FLORENCE TEET- SEL, Muscle Woman of the West, have just come from the South to take a trip to the North. MADELINE WEITLAUF is still trying to use filter papers in chemistry and CHARLES BENTON is vainly showing her how. NANCY STORY, famous congresswoman, is fighting her case in the Senate, trying to pass a bill, which will allow smoking in school. Ah! Here comes JACQUELINE VAN HEEST, in a glamorous Get Up . The only thing that spoils it is her water pistol. She is still seeking revenge on the little boy with the squirt gun. ERNESTINA WADAGNOLA and CHRIS- TINA RIBET are showing off the fancy en- gagement rings they received in their Senior Year. LOUIS GRAZIOSI, who entered during his Senior Year, is still wondering why he ever came to Catskill High. GLADYS WINANS is going to apply for a job in the new Winans Dept. Store on Fifth Avenue. VERN A YOUNG is the leading bookkeeper in Congress today. She was awarded the Book- keeping Award for Merit and is the first woman to receive it. In fact there is only one medal,of its kind. That brings us to the close of the horror of Mr. Jonas's nightmare. He is now sitting in a big easychair thinking whether it will come true or if it will stay just a nightmare. We leave you, our dearest friends and enemies of C. H. S., to find out what really will happen to the members of the Class of '48 . f65 641 6824001 All THE GRANGE AND 'IFH-HE EILUE Vvhen we entered Catskill High School With qualms quite far from few, For a Fresh without his mother Scarcely knows what he should dog VVhen we saw our high school colors, They looked so fresh and new, That since, we've used no others Than the Orange and the Blue. Although lessons make us weary And at history we sigh, And when we Hunk our Regents Fond hopes should never die: But we cannot be forgetful Of the time that passes by, While we are jolly students In our dear old Catskill High. When at last we enter college In that dim bye and bye, We sing to Catskill High School- Au revoir is not goodbye, How can I bear to leave thee? Is the universal cry, As students leave old Catskill, And dear old Catskill High. ACKNOWLEDGMENTS A Photography: Ronald Johnstone, Catskill, New York.
