Perhaps we should proclaim in our yearbook to all the World that we realize our job in the world, and that we intend to turn all our youthful energy to it. We believe, though, that We realize our responsibilities to the world, and to ourselves, without having it the theme of our yearbook. Thus we present a theme portraying Chautauqua Central School as we shall always remember it, and which, looking through The Indian after graduation, will bring back many of our most enjoyable days. THE INDIAN 1946 Mr John W Turner School Principal I DEDICATION- I The Class of 1946 sincerely and unanimously feels that its yearbook, the school's first, should be dedicated to our principal, class advisor, and friend, Mr. John W. Turner. We shall always remember with appreciation not only the broad curricular program administered by Mr. Turner, but the varied and interesting extra-curricular program he has encouraged. We have felt secure in the knowledge that our teachers have thought the principal an excellent administrator, and a man devoted to and very much interested in his work. To us as students, Mr. Turner has been encouraging and interested. In our school work he has helped us to understand why we were doing it, and how important it is to us. In our activities he has allowed us to use our initiative and ideas, never saying no to a project, but always, well, letts look at it from two sides? We are glad to have received our schooling under Mr. Turner's direction, and glad to have been acquainted with him as a person. We feel we are more able for having known him. 1945 THE INDIAN The Indian - 19-46 Edited by - - David Rodwell Stafffed by - - Maxine Howard Kay Moseman, Andrew Rhubottom, Elaine Moseman, Robert Dean, Martha Milligan. Advisor - - Mrs. McCluer Drawings by Marjorie Hewes F OREWORD- Writing a foreword to the school's first year- book is a privilege of which We are very proud. We are proud of the fact that the Class of '46 has been the first to undertake the publication of a book such as this. We are also proud that it has had the do it spirit to bring true a dream many other graduating classes have talked about. Yet, as we write this foreword, and indeed the rest of the book, we do it with humbleness, for we realize that there have been errors, and that there are classes which have costlier and more elaborate books than we. In the years to come, we trust that succeeding graduating classes will strive to make The Indian ever better, and make it a true representation of the school as they shall Want to remember it. We are sure that with more experience and more time in which to work, those to follow will make Chautauqua's yearbook tops, Here, then, we present our yearbook with pride and humbleness. We are sure it is but the first of a long number of books which will constantly improve and better reflect the pride which high school students seldom express but always feel toward their school. We know this to be the feeling of students in Chautauqua Central School, for we have long felt it in ourselves. THE INDIAN 1946 FIRSTROW-fleft to rightlt Mr. Thayer Pratt, Miss Marjorie Akin, Mrs. Garnett Johnson, Mrs. Mary Becker, Mr. Robert Seymour, Mr. Allen Rice, Mr. Edgar Skinner, assistant principal, Mr. John Turner, principal, Mr. Ernest Cowles, Miss Ruth White, Mrs. Genevieve Hack, Mrs. Pauline Olson. SECOND ROW-Cleft to rightl: Miss Maude Skinner, Miss Clara Gibbs, Miss Enid White, Mrs. Elizabeth Alday, Mrs. Dora Hall, Mrs. Ruth Wheeler, Mr. Kyle Morse, Mr. William Broadhead, Miss Helen Gregg, Mrs. Jeanette Morton, Mrs. Aileen Bouman, Miss Anna Smith, Mrs. Catharine McCluer. THE FACULTY The first meeting of the faculty was called by Mr. Turner, and was held on Sunday evening, September 9th. Seven new members were introduced and their departments designated. They were: Mrs. Aileen Bouman, Language, Mrs. Lucy Case, Sixth Grade, Mr. Burdell Cotten, Vocational Guidance, Mrs. Dora Hall, Eighth Grade, Mrs. Catharine McCluer, Kindergarten, Mr. Kyle Morse, Agriculture, and Miss Ruth White, Library and Social Studies. At an organization meeting the Faculty Club chose as their officers: Mrs. Ruth Wheeler, president, Mr. Ernest Cowles, vice-president, and Mrs. Jeanette Morton, secretary-treasurer. Three committees were then appointed by the president. Mr. Turner was appointed chairman of the Teacher Improvement Committee, with Mr. Cotten, Mrs. Hall, Mr. Pratt, Miss Skinner, and Mr. Skinner. Mrs. Becker was appointed as head of the Social Committee, with Miss Akin, Mrs. Case, Miss Gregg, and Mr. Morse. In charge of the Gift Committee was Mrs. Johnson, assisted by Mrs. Bouman. Mr. Turner appointed Mr. Morse, Miss Akin, and Miss Ruth White to plan a movie schedule for the year. Miss Akin, Mrs. Case, Miss Gregg, Mrs. Hack, and Mrs. McCluer were chosen to act as faculty advisors for the selection of assembly programs. A reception for the new teachers was given by the P. T. A. at the October meeting. A much more informal welcome was given them at a smorgasbord arranged by the Social Committee. An initiation ceremony was held, and the new members were prevented from enjoying their food by various methods as much as possible. A quiz program and games occupied the evening. 1946 THE INDIAN At the end of October, the school was fortunate to have the first serviceman, Mr. Pratt, return to his position as instructor of social studies and history. Mr. Pratt had spent over two years in the service, both in this country and abroad. Late in October a tea and shower were given by the Women of the faculty in honor of Mrs. Turner. The meetings planned by the Teacher Improvement Committee were inspiring and helpful. In December Mrs. Ruth Winch, the district superintendent, spoke on the condition of European schools and of their need for aid. As a result, the school sponsored the opening of the school in Sarralbe, France. Mr. Turner then explained the new salary schedule and the new Teacher-Board Agreements which have been adopted by the Board of Education. In January the staff changed with the departure of Mrs. Case, who had been pinch-hitting for Mrs. Alday. Mrs. Alday received her M. A. degree from Syracuse University and returned to her regular position in the sixth grade. In February the faculty met to discuss the use of visual aids in the classroom. Miss Akin, Mrs. Alday, Miss Ruth White, and Mr. Morse explained and demonstrated the use of the school's very excellent visual aid equipment. The meeting was preceded by a tea prepared for the meeting by a group under Mrs. Hall. The annual Faculty Tea was given by the Girl Reserves in February. The refreshments included a bride's cake and gift for Mrs. Pauline Gibbs Olson, who had recently returned from her honeymoon. 4 Further changes in the faculty during the spring brought back two veterans to their former teaching jobs at Chautauqua. Mr. Robert Seymour, instrumental music teacher, and Mr. Norman Becker, coach, resumed their respective duties after service with the Navy. Mr. William Broadhead, who had been subbing for Mr. Becker as coach, left the school during the middle of March. The spring meeting took the form of a round-table discussion on the subject of juvenile delinquency. The discussion was carried on by Mr. Cotten, Mrs. Hall, Mrs. Morton, Mr. Pratt, Mr. Skinner, Mrs. Wheeler, and Miss Enid White. It was voted to carry this group as a permanent committee for further study of the subject. The meeting was preceded by a spaghetti dinner prepared by the men of the faculty supervised by Mr. Becker. During the last of March a dinner party was held at Levan's in Jamestown in honor of Mr. Henry Johnson, who left the school employ on April lst after seven years of very fine and efficient service as school custodian. Mr. Johnson was pre- sented with a gift from the faculty by Mr. Skinner. The evening was spent in the very unusual manner of buying at an auction some rare objects of art. Mr. Pratt was the very able and willing auctioneer. Mr. Alfred Jones, Jr., a graduate of the school who had served overseas in Italy during the war, joined the staff as custodian. After his marriage in May, he was called on the carpet and presented with a gift for himself and his bride. At this writing the annual round-up of faculty affairs in the form of a picnic is being planned as usual, at which time the farewells to departing members take place. Thus will end another year for the faculty at what they believe one of the friendliest schools in the State, and certainly one of the most pleasant to work in. fat-i 4...

As it comes to the end of its twelfth year in school, there remain but four of the original members of the class as it was when it started in the first grade in C. C. S. These exclusive four are Evelyn Whitney, Charley Blohm, Bob Dean, and Andy Rhubottom. Miss Skinner was then, as now, the teacher of the first grade. In second grade Rich Hayes joined the class, and Dave Rodwell did likewise when it reached its third year. The fourth saw no additions which still remain, but the centralization of the school in the class's fifth year brought Viola Webber and Ronnie Stroebel into its ranks. During these early years the members caught fleeting glances of Maxine Howard, who finally settled with the class in its junior year in high school. Art Sortore was here now and then, as Max was, and he finally decided to join the class in preference to the one at Mayville in his seventh year of schooling. Tom Calvin and Mary Crowley joined the merry throng in its sophomore year, and Kay and Elaine Moseman came at the half of the following year. Mae Kratz, Carol Nickerson, and Chuck Nash entered the class in its final year. Jack Cadogan, who was with the class from the fourth grade until it started its senior year, dropped his school work to join the Navy in January of this year. THE INDIAN 1946 In the second, third, and fourth years of the class of '46 there was a double grade, that is, two grades in one room. The present juniors for the class of '47J were the second class. This is no doubt the underlying reason for the ardent feeling of friendship and love between the two classes. Miss Skinner had both classes in the seniors' second year, Miss Akin had the double load in their third, and Miss Evelyn Murney had the horrible experience in their fourth year. The class was alone again in its fifth year with Mrs. Johnson as their teacher. Miss Marion Benson, now Mrs. Taylor, taught the class in both its sixth and seventh years, due to a faculty shift. In its seventh year the class saw a change in principals. Mr. George R. Raynor retired and Mr. John W. Turner took over his duties. The class's eighth year introduced to it one of its best friends and advisors, Mr. Ernest Levin. Mr. Cowles had charge of the eighth grade, but Mr. Levin taught English Reading in junior high then. In its ninth year Mr. Levin was the class's home room teacher and in the eleventh year of the class he was their advisor. Then was when they really learned to appreciate him. Last year he left the school, much to the sorrow of the class and many others, but he is still a good friend and neighbor to C. C. S. In the tenth year of the class Coach Becker was its advisor. He has been coach in C. C. S. from the time the class entered first grade except for about two years from 1944-46 when he was in the Navy. The class is happy to have him back. The seniors have been a small class all through their twelve years in Chautauqua School. In first grade three members died of diphtheria, and since then the class never has numbered more than twenty. Its mem- bers have done reasonably well in school, perhaps due to the ease of co-operation in the small group. They have kept up school standards in their scholarship, and have been quite active in sports and extra-curricular activities. Their record is far from perfect, but looking back they see they have enjoyed their schooling and have profited much by it. When they are gone they will surely miss good old C. C. S. and everything about it. KN! .1 Y -, T' x ' Y - gf'.Ek-V-5 ---- X L Ek. fq:...:l'- UJ,f.,,. U ,.- I . .,,.- 'H' L.

It might be a wise plan to glance into the lives of these students of the graduating class and see how they have made out. My first stop happens to be in New York City skyscraper and who should I see bent over his desk concentrating on what looks to be blue- prints but Bob Dean. I thought I'd ask for an appointment to see him but found Elaine Moseman in the outer office who informed me that Mr. Dean was a very busy man and could not be disturbed. It seems that Bob has become very successful as a mechanical engineer and Elaine was lucky enough to land the job as his private secretary. I stayed and chatted a few minutes with Elaine and she told me that her sister, Kay, was married to David Rodwell and that they had the cutest little home just outside the city limits. David is employed on the editorial staff of the New York Daily Times. After leaving the Dean office I met Thomas Calvin in the elevator. He is a lawyer in the same building and told me that his old friend, Richmond Hayes, was out West in California working as an architect. My next stop is in a little Tea Room a few blocks off Fifth Avenue. It is called Alda's and upon inquiring I found the proprietor was none other than Alda Underwood. I was led to my table by a charming hostess who proved to be Evelyn Whitney. She is also married but said her husband was on a trip to Europe at the present time. During the last course of my lunch a very familiar face appeared at the door. It was Maxine Howard. She is principal of a high school in the suburbs of the city and told me that Mae Kratz is on her faculty teaching music. I next went to the WABC broadcasting station and Andrew Rhubottom was guest artist on Lux Radio Theatre that evening. I got a fleeting glimpse of him every now and then and he's quite a handsome fellow. I also found Charlie Blohm working in the control room. He told me that Carol Nickerson was in Hollywood designing clothes for 'teen age actresses. No Wonder fashions have taken a trend for the better. After seeing how Chautauqua has made out outside the alma mater I returned to Chautauqua and found some of our old friends still here. Art Sortore and Chuck Nash are running the biggest garage Chautauqua has ever seen. Ronald Stroebel was in getting his Ford tractor fixed. It seems he has a big farm near Open Meadows. He mentioned something about Viola. Couldn't be Viola Webber and he have gotten together- or perhaps they're just neighbors. Looking around the grounds, I dropped into the St. Elmo and found it under the management of Mary Eleanor Crowley. It seems to me that the class of 1946 has done very well for itself.

THE JUNIORS Of the present junior class, only three of the original class that started first grade in 1936 remain: Rosemary Flanders, John Whitehead, and Lincoln Fisher. Nancy Hubbard and Nancy King, who also started in that class, left C. C. S. several years ago. Miss Skinner taught the first and second graders. In the third grade Marion Greene and Douglas Seymour entered the class. Willa Mary Hewes joined the juniors in the fourth grade. The third and fourth grades were taught by Miss E. Murney. Carol Nickerson, who is now a member of the senior class, joined the class in the fifth grade. Fifth grade was marked by the formation of the Girl Scouts in C. C. S. and the planting of some flower gardens near the school. That year the class saw the picture, The Wizard of Oz. They also did much painting and carpenter work that year. In sixth grade, the present juniors were taught by Mrs. Barron. Homer Terwilliger and George Fisher entered the class in the eighth grade. Mrs. Taylor and Mr. Cowles were the seventh and eighth grade teachers. When freshmen, Shirley Crump, Stephen Kovach, Elizabeth Hodges, THE INDIAN 1945 and Martha Milligan joined the class. Martha had attended C. C. S. for parts of several previous years. William Geertson left the juniors after his freshman year. Carol Saxton, Joanne McMahon, and Carol Miller entered the class this year. This year the juniors won the inter-class basketball league, as they did last year. The girls of the class gave the boys victory luncheons both years. This year both the junior boys and girls won the intramural volleyball leagues. The boys then played the girls, each using their own rules. The score was 15-3 in favor of the boys. When they were freshmen, the junior girls gave a dinner for the entire class. They have had a Hallowe'en party every year that they have been in high school, this year having one With the seniors. As sophomores, they gave a party in the form of a carnival for the entire school. In this party were many of the features of a real carnival. Just before school was over that year, they had an outdoor class party at Orser's. Mr. Levin was the faculty advisor for the class when they were fresh- men, while Lincoln Fisher was president. Mr. Allen Rice has been the juniors' advisor for the other two years. Robert Orser was president of the class last year. The ofiicers this year are: Lincoln Fisher, presidentg Stephen Kovach, vice-presidentg Robert Orser, treasurerg Elizabeth Hodges, secretary, and Rosemary Flanders and Douglas Seymour, repre- sentatives to the Student Council. When Rosemary went to Florida this Winter, Martha Milligan substituted on the Council for her. The juniors received their rings this year, which makes them one of the first classes to get theirs so early. There are four members of the junior class on the Senior Honor Society. Five of the juniors play in the C. C. S. Bandg and many members of the junior class belong to the F. F. A. Robert Orser is the Junior Assist- ant Scoutmaster for the Boy Scouts at C. C. S. There are also many juniors on the Chronicle staff. The juniors had six boys on the varsity basketball team at the end of the year. Several boys started on the second team. All of the boys are on this year's baseball team except Douglas Seymour, and he is a manager of the team. 1946 THE INDIAN FIRST ROW-Cleft to rightlz Marjorie Hewes, Patricia Carlson, Helen Watt, Phyllis Crump, Martha Kemp, Mary Hubbell, secretary-treasurer, Howard Hartzell, presidentg Mary Nash, vice-president, Thelma Kovach, Alice Schroeder, Helen Petitt, Laura Beltron, Lucille Root.

The Girl Scouts, under the leadership of Mrs. Jeannette Morton, have accomplished a great deal this year while working for their badges. There are-four patrols: the Golden Eagle, the Chipmunks, the Five Salted Peanuts, and the White Rose. Each patrol has its leader and assistant leader. Mrs. Hall is the troop's assistant leader, and Diane Hagadorn its scribe.. BOY SCOUTS FIRST ROW-fleft to rihtlz S. Orser, W. Bullock, J. Wheeler, R. Orser, J. Christof- ferson, D. Clifford.

Over sixty-five per cent of the officers in the armed forces were at one time Boy Scouts. Robert Orser is the Junior Assistant Scoutmaster, and also the only Eagle Scout. Mr. Norman Becker is the Scoutmaster, assisted by Mr. Charles Gorman. Within the troop there are three patrols: the Hawk, the Stag, and the Wolf. r ' ' ' 1946 THE INDIAN K I THE INDIAN 1946 c. c. s.

This year's Chronicle staff has not only published a normal schedule of ten papers, but has been instrumental in publishing the school's first yearbook. The book was published outside the regular Chronicle budget, and was almost self-supporting. The staff also sponsored a dance last fall which was very successful. It has enjoyed very much the publication of the school paper, and all the staff feels it to be one of the most enjoyable of school activities. CHEERLEADERS FIRST ROW-M. Howard, captain.

The smallest group with the most active girls Qwe mean that literally, tool in the school this year was the cheerleading squad consisting of seven members--Maxine Howard, captain, Phyllis Crump, songleaderg Laura Beltron, Mary Nash, Carol Miller, Elizabeth Hodges and Rosemary Flanders, who left us early in the year for Florida. These girls have enjoyed making all that noise just as much as we have enjoyed helping them make it. They had a swell team to cheer for and usually got plenty of co-operation from all. STUDENT COUNCIL FIRST ROW-fleft to rightl: R. Dean, president, D. Seymour, vice-president, Miss E. White, advisor, Mrs. Hack, advisor. SECOND ROW-Cleft to rightlz M. Davis, M. Kemp, treasurer, R.

Under the leadership of Robert Dean, it has endeavored to keep the school running on a smooth basis. The Council elected cneerleaders and attempted to solve the problem of the cafeteria rush and keeping manners high in school. At the beginning of the year Council members explained tne Constitution to the students in hopes that it would be better understood. Representatives from the classes were Merton Davis, Syble Greene,, freshman, Martha Kemp, Robert Scott, sophomore, Douglas Seymour, Rosemary Flanders, junior, Elaine Moseman, David Rodwell, senior. Rosemary Flanders went to Florida and Martha Milligan was elected by the juniors to take her seat. The Court of Appeals consisted of Mr. Turner, Mr. Skinner, and Mrs. Bouman, and the advisors elected were Mr. Morse and Mrs. Hack. Mr. Morse resigned because he was unable to attend meetings and Miss White was elected to his place. 1946 THE INDIAN THE INDIAN 1946 THE BASKETBALL SQUAD FIRST ROW-Cleft to rightl: Mr. Morse. coach, R.

Seymour, J. Whitehead, L. Roberts, H. Hubbell. The teams pictured above will probably be remembered most for the spirit they have shown during the past basketball season. Their record has not been good, only one of eight league games was won, and three non-league games, yet throughout the season they never tucked their tails between their legs and gave up. Inded, at the end of the season, they came back stronger than ever. Of the squad, Richmond Hayes, David Rodwell, Thomas Calvin, Robert Dean, Arthur Sortore, and Andrew Rhubottom will be graduated.

Its only win was recorded when it defeated Panama in a game played here, and the rest of the games were lost by overwhelming scores. Most of the players, as can be seen in the picture, are freshmen and sophomores-the team is younger than average. In a few more years, after fuller experience and more practice, the team should round out to be one of the best in its league. GIRLS' PLAYDAY GROUP FIRST ROW-Cleft to rightbz L. Beltron. C.

The above team not only played basketball, but were also active in other playday activities which have been sponsored in the county. The girls played two games against Sherman, winning both, which gives them their title, C. C. S. Champs. The scores were 11-9 and 19-16. All the girls hope to be able to have more such activities next year, and they say they'll still be champs. 1946 THE INDIAN THE INDIAN 1946 C. C. S. PLAYHOUSE FlRST ROW-Cleft to rightl: L.

Playhouse brought down the curtain on its first season with the performance of Foot-Loose, staged last fall, and Heart Troublen this spring. Consisting of about forty members, the organization has had its business transacted by a board of directors, and the season ended with the Playhouse ledgers all definitely in the black.

The four points considered in the election are scholarship, character, lead- ership, and service. Martha Milligan is the president of the organization this year, and Miss Enid White is the faculty advisor. This year the Senior Honor Society sponsored the campaign in C. C. S. to raise money for the Save the Children Federation, which sends help to the children of Europe. JUNIOR HONOR SOCIETY FIRST ROW-ileft to rightl: J. Wheeler, M. White, P. Stroebel, S. Green, M.

Students of the seventh, eighth, and ninth grades may be inducted into the National Junior Honor Society. As in the Senior Honor Society, its members are elected on the grounds of scholarship, service, leadership, and character, and the members must have attended Chautauqua Central School for at least a year previous to the election time. Mr. Ernest Cowles is the Junior Honor Society faculty advisor. The Junior Honor Society combined efforts with the Senior Honor Society and made a poster for this year's school exhibition night. 1846 THE INDIAN W 1 THE INDIAN 1946 FUTURE FARMERS OF AMERICA FIRST ROW-Kleft to rightl: R.

The organization was unanimously certified at a panel of adult leaders of Hi-Y, and received its charter together with identification cards at a rally held at Cassadaga. 1946 THE INDIAN Memovzes . .
