DEDICATION MISS LINSKY With sincere appreciation for her unfailing patience and most valuable assistance, we, the Class of ’53, very gratefully dedicate this Lyre to our Junior advisor, Miss Mary Jane Linsky. 3 ? • i - V.-. ‘ J — V • V ALMA MATER Where the golden sunset mellow Tints the western sky Proudly stands our Alma Mater On her hilltop high. CHORUS Join the chorus, speed it onward Loud her name we yell Hail to thee, our Alma Mater, Hail, all hail B’ville. II So she stands upon the campus ’Mong the towering trees Gentle nature wafts her praises On the evening breeze. Ill When the future years o’ertake us And we leave thy halls We shall always love and cherish Days within thy walls. IV Loyal to thee, Alma Mater, Shall we always be, And we’ll always keep forever Sweet thy memory. 5 TO THE CLASS OF 1953 GREETINGS! On behalf of the faculty of your school, I extend sincere congratulations on the achievement of the first most important goal of your lives. To some of you, graduation from high school signifies the beginning of a new experience in higher education. We hope the time spent in public schools in the acquisition of fundamental academic skill, in the development of a strong physical body and the possession of firm moral and spiritual conviction, will assist you in the immediate years ahead. To many others, June 1953, marks the end of formal education but it must not signal the culmination of your learning experiences. So long as you shall live, the desire to grow in body, mind, and spirit must overshadow all other ambitions. To all of you, the severances of high school ties denotes the entrance into an adult society which will be devoid of much of the patient, guiding spirit provided so willingly by parents and teachers. If we have accomplished our purpose, you should be able to take this step with courage and determination, knowing that your school experiences will help you over the hurdles which lie ahead. Since the early beginnings of man’s struggle for freedom the cruel, selfish, barbaric desires of dictatorial forces, the ruthless hand of ignorance and the devastations of war have laid waste and destroyed may valuable tenents of a democratic society. The burning desire for liberty, however, still exists in the hearts of all mankind. The struggle between these forces for world domination will continue. And until our present civilization really believes in and practices the principles of the Prince of Peace, we can expect world tension to remain with us. With the undying hope of youth, with the courage to face the future, and with Faith in Almighty God, no task is impossible. Our best wishes go with each of you as you face the interesting and challenging times which lie ahead. 6 i THE ADMINISTRATION •8 MR. COATES F.

BARBOUR 14 LYNWOOD ALLER BETTY BENNETT “Betty” Betty has been active in the Home Econ- omics Department. She has made a host of friends. RAYMOND BRESEE “Ray” From the way this guy runs, his last name should be “Breeze. Living up to family tra- dition, Ray helped bring sectional track cham- pionship to B’ville. Lenny” Another one of the more solemn members of this years riot squad. Lenny is the kind that sits quietly while meetings are in session, only to go out and do the work. JANE ASSELSTINE “Jane” Jane surprised us all last summer by getting her drivers license, and proceeding to bum up the roads. CAROLYN BROWN “Cuddles” Where did that laugh come from? Oh, it’s just Cuddles in one of her gay moods. You can generally find that laughter of hers drifting out the door of the homemaking room. BETTY BURTON “Betty” New to us this year from Southside High School in Elmira, Betty has proven to be a cute addition to the class. While at Elmira she devoted much of her time to their Glee Club. STANLEY BUSH “Stan” Stan, one of Rm. l's reprobates, is well known as the happy-go-lucky Senior with the unique grunt-laugh. Stan spends his spare time reading and smoking his pipe. PATRICIA CANINO “Pat” Another one of our funmakers, Pat’s fre- quent chuckles are generally a clear indica- tion that she is up to something. By the way, is there anyone who thinks they can beat her in bowling? NANCY CARRINGTON “Nan Would anyone like to buy a ticket? No, our Nan isn’t a policeman, but she is in charge of tickets for all athletic events. LUCILLE CLARK “Lucy” Another athlete in the crowd. Lucy can al- ways be sure of a winning team. With her smile it's not hard to tell sportsmanship is her motto. NANCY CLARK “Nancy” You can rest assured that when Nancy has something to say, everyone else is listening intently. Just ask anyone who has ever spent any time with her in one of Mrs. Gristwood’s classes. PHYLLIS CLAVER “Phyll” Do you have your ticket for the game? Phyll was always on the job in an efficient manner as a member of the. energetic ticket- sellers. SALLY COATES “Sal” Another one of our peppy cheerleaders. Our gal Sal is good at anything from helping out in the office to working for Tri-Y. CHARLES COCHRANE “Chas” Our gifted conversationalist who never says anything! Chas has kept teachers in a state of frenzy with his crazy antics. With his ready smile and heart of gold, we can say he is the only person we know who does not have one enemy. JAMESM W Outside of devoting a lot of as a top-notch secretary for Jim also showed his prowess “six towers” on our basketball team, LEONARD DAVIS Look at that smooth delivery and follow- through, as Len sends another strike down the alley. Besides being one of the bowling team’s best, Len has also found time to be an agreeable student. ■ Personality plus—that is our never-tiring and thoroughly likeable class president. Morning, noon, or night, you could always find her on the job promoting some class project. We will never be able to thank her for her guidance. THOMAS DeNEVE “Tom” Ah, take one look at this easy-going devil and you can see why the opposite sex is at- tracted to him. Tom has also found time to be an accomplished veteran of band. ANNE DOUGHTY “Anne” One of our talented Seniors, Anne has sung in any and all school groups, with Keynotes absorbing the greater share of her time. CHARLES DUXBURY “Ted” Ted is another new face around B'ville this year, but the manner in which he passes out those fines at the Gamma Sig meetings has earned him a multitude of respect. JANICE EARLE “Jan” Here is our proud claim on our prettiest Senior, who has the disposition to match. How did she ever manage to keep her wits as class secretary at those gay meetings? REGINA EVANS “Regina” Swoosh! Up Tappan Street she zooms! Re- gina was one of the first girls in the class to obtain a driver's license and she certainly has made good use of it. r ANN FARRELL “Ann” Here is one of the more quiet girls, but don't let that solemn expression of hers fool you. Ann is loaded with fun—and brains too. If you have ever had a class with her in Miss Winchell's room, you would know what we mean. FREDERICK FAULER “Fritz” Fritz is easily recognized as the fellow with the innocent-looking face. In his work as a young apiarist, Fred has enjoyed the honor of meeting “America's most refined bees.” ‘Austin” LEE FLANDERS Lee’s the refined Senior who has the ap- pearance of a wealthy Southern plantation owner. He has made a name for himself as a Cross-Country man. JEAN FULLER lean” If they ever had a label set for “most fun,” this cute Senior miss would run away with all honors. Jean’s absence will be most sorely felt as she leaves the presiding office of Alpha Mu. GERALD GALLUP “Gerry” “Shuffle the deck and j lace your bets,” here comes Gerry, Beevillc’s own Mississippi gambler. One of our few Seniors with inter- esting hobbies, Gerry is very adept at build- ing model cars. MARY GARDNER “Mary” “For it was Mary, Mary, always full of mischief”—don’t be misled though. Mary was really fun. You can be sure that any class was brighter when she was around. DANIEL GEIST “Danny” Here’s the fellow who dreams of circum- navigating the globe in half a grapefruit. This should prove easy for Dan, alter seeing him breeze through Solid Geometry locus problems. TERENCE GERMAIN “Terry” There is literally nothing that this likeable guy can not do. Terry was co-editor of the Lyre, and a prize winning speaker, and kept any class you can name in a constant uproar. WILLIAM GIFFORD “Giff” Bill returned to us last year after having spent some time in Wyoming. He can al- ways be counted on to do his bit with a smile. An able leader, he is one of our most popular seniors, and an all-round good guy. JAMES COLDSTINE Goldie” “Doc Goldie”—that’s our envoy from the Red Cross. With those twinkling eyes we have been proud to have Goldie as a tireless and resourceful classmate. NORMA GREENE ‘Normie’ If you should want to see an example of a good disposition, just take a gander in this gal's direction. Normie is quite a cook too. SHIRLEY GREGORY “Greg” One of Miss Kinney’s brighter hopes in the fields of Silence and Secretarial Practice, Shir- ley is a quiet Senior. What happens when she leaves is known only to herself and her friends. NELSON WARD HALL, Jr. “Ward” A newcomer, it did not take long for this smiling lad to get acquainted. Ask anybody who has happened to be on the opposing panel to him in one of those citizenship de- bates. MARY HANLEY “Mair” Our Mary is always surrounded by wild shouts as she tears off to bother some poor soul. What would school be like without this attractive ball of fire to keep things stirred up? MARGARET HIGGINS “Margie” Our little Margie—. She not only has done well in school work, but she has been out- standing in sports, too. Her main interest drives a blue Plymouth. DONAL HIRSH “Harvey” Another one of the Belgium boys. Need I say more? Harveys ability to escape from his homeroom is remarkable, and a little gray Plymouth is his trademark. WILLIAM HIRSH “Chill” One of the three iron men of the school’s athletic teams, “Chill” had much to do with winning the Football and Basketball Cham- pionships. You can also see him doing the hundred yard dash up Artillery Lane. SHIRLEY HOLMES “Shirley” Room 4 wouldn’t be the same without Shir- ley. Her bowling achievements fill us with envy, and although she never enters politics, she will always be a “Dewey” fan. JOHN HORNER “Little John” Popular John hails from Lysander; and, from the way he talks, weve begun to believe it’s truly a heaven on earth. Honesty and personality easily identify him as one of the finest Seniors. HELEN HOTCHKISS “Helen” Here is the little prescription for people who feel downcast about something. One smile and a few minutes of conversation with Helen is a guaranteed cure for any trouble. KATHERINE JENSEN “Katherine” “Champion Breadmaker of the Class of ’53.” This title has been awarded to her as a result of hard work in both 4-H and Grange. Her aspiration is a nursing career. ORLANDO HOUGHTALING “Oley” Oley, one of our most athletic Seniors has spent most of his time indulging in sports. Say, girls, have you ever noticed those legs? “Paula” rates that sec- glamour girl, respect for good in MARION KIGGINS “Dutch” One of the supporters of F.H.A., Marion has been among us now for two years and has made an impression on teachers and stu- dents alike. SHIRLEY KING “Shirley” Never too busy to help you out, Shirley has been a welcome member of the Class or ’53. She has decided opinions on local politics. NANCY KISSELSTEIN “Nancy” Here is our cutest Senior girl, who, with that ever-ready smile, will have no trouble in any of her future undertakings. Remember the part she played in adding to the turmoil of Room 4. NORMA LAMB “Norm Feeling blue? Acquaint yourself with Norm's terrific sense of humor at frequent intervals and your blues will be pushed away. One of Alpha Mu's mainstays. PATRICIA LAMSON Par When Pat arrives, the fun begins. Her ready wit and pleasant manner have made her an indispensable member of our class. PEARL LISTER “Pearr Pearl is a little gem, as her name implies. She’s one of the reasons why the Drum and Bugle Corps look so snappy, and her lively manner makes things hum. ROBERT LORY “Bob What’s the matter, don’t you have a ride? Bob would give you one if he could fit you in. Most of this big-hearted guy's time is taken up by being at the helm of Gamma Sig. ANN LOWERY Annie What is going on in that little mind of Annie’s? You can not tell what she is about to add to the events that Seniors dream up in Room 1. Maybe she is going to give us a solo on that flute. joan McCarthy ‘Joan Toan is one of our most active Senior girls. Wherever there is a job to be done, you can bet she is right in the midst of it. Maybe that is why her activities attract so much at- tention. edward McDermott Mac Who will ever forget Ed for his game-sav- ing tackles in the Solvay classic? One of the hard workers in the class, he is sure to go a long way. SUSAN McDERMOTT Sue Sue is one of those “quiet” Seniors from Room 4. When Sue is there, plan to spend an entire day of surprises. ‘John john McWilliams Effective humor characterizes John. He al- ways comes up with a remark to relieve the monotony. What’s more, he hits the nail right on the head. JUSTIN WILLIAM MIGNAULT “Bill” Bill always kept everybody on their toes with his scientific theories—and his witty re- marks. We hear that there is nothing he can’t do with a saxaphone either. '4 LISLE MILLER “Luigi” If it hurts you to laugh, stay away from Lisle. Although serious at times, we still all agree that Lisle’s presence worked wonders in spicing up a prosaic Room 4. ANNA NENTWICK “Anna” Anna is another one of those talented sec- retaries-to-be. With the help of some of her colleagues, Anna manages to keep Miss Kin- ney constantly on the hop. But you ought to see that typewriter of hers hop. DEAN NORMAND “Dean” “What a hunk of man.” That is what our girls mumble when Dean passes them in the hall, or zooms past in that “little grey Merc.” His line plunges on the gridiron made op- posing teams mumble, too—but not anything we can repeat! DOROTHY PAIGE “Dottie” Dottie is often seen at the movies, sellin tickets. In her spare time, she is seen ridin around in a maroon Ford. GWENDOLYN PAIGE “Gwen” Another live wire in the Senior Class, Gwen has helped to keep in a good mood. She has managed to excel in all Girls’ Sports. GEORGE PAPUGA “George” One of our Junior year additions, George has added a lot of spice to this Senior melting pot. He is the one who can make a Ford do everything except dance. I to to RONALD PATCHETT Patch If there is any scholastic prifce that this en- voy from out Plainville way has not won, just try to name it. Patch seems to be our only Senior packed with crack answers and crazy antics. ROBERT PAYNE “Bob” How’s the weather up there? Bob’s height never bothered us, but it sure worried the opposing basketball coaches in the county league. Our only regret is that we could not give him his own ranch for graduation. E. LEOTA PENNIMAN “Leota” Leota lives over near Phoenix. One of our commercial students, she will make some lucky employer a wonderful secretary. ARTHUR PETERS “Pete” Name any sport and you will find that this guy stars in it! All-county in both football and basketball, he has in addition been tops as class treasurer, a I-Ii-Y mentor, and a friend to everyone. ROBERT PETERSON “Bob” Tired of boasters and braggards? Then see Pete and enjoy a Senior who asks no praise for his efforts. Pete has a cheerful disposition. ELISE PFARRER “Lisey” This pretty senior nearly left us this year, but decided to finish her high school days at B.H.S. One of the prettiest girls in the class, she added her musical talent to the Senior Chorus. ROBERT POWELL “Bob” Bob is one of the quietest seniors, if there are any. Always willing to help someone, he has gathered a host of friends in four years. PAUL PREMO “Prem” Prem has the distinction of being the school’s finest listener, despite the fact that he has a wonderful voice. Paul's Business Course is certain to make him some lucky girl's private secretary. 'Helen HELEN PYKE Helen has been one of our active' sports en- thusiasts and mainstay of all girls teams. What she can’t do in that department just isn’t worth trying. MARY REED Man Mary has been helpful in the Home Eco- nomics Department. She holds tme to the fa- mous Quotation “The best way to stay out of trouble is not to get into it.” KATHLEEN REGAN “Kathleen” This pleasant petite girl was certainly a welcome contrast to some of our more violent classmates. It gave everybody a lift just to see agreeable little Kathleen. CLAUDE REITH “Cautious” Being President of Hi-Y is only one of the duties Claude ably performs. He kept Senior Play rehearsals in a state of near-riot, and seems to have an attraction for the Downer Street vicinity. MARGARET SCHMIDT “Margie” Margie will make some lucky boss a very efficient secretary. Her friendly air makes things more pleasant, and her cute little habit of blushing endears her to us. ELIZABETH SEARS “Ltf Liz is reputed to be the only person ever to have the last word over Mr. Matthews. First girl president of Student Council, Elizabeth was co-editor of the Lyre and lead in the Junior and Senior Plays, and did you ever see her report card? Wow! RONALD STANTON “Ronnie” Member of both the Lyre staff and the basketball team, Ronnie will be remembered for his witty sayings. You can always count on them when they are least expected. FRANCIS STEBBINS “Fran” Look at that curly haired guy run! Who is it—none other than Fran helping our Cross- country champs gain another victory. If you think running is his only talent, you ought to be around him in Room 1. MARY STORM “Tevie” Mary has helped to lighten the atmosphere during her years here. She can always be counted on and is loads of fun. A natural blonde, whose legs always rate. JOHN TAPPAN “Tapp” Tapp can see over the heads of any crowd if he stretches himself to his full 6'3 . This made him a natural for basketball, and he also spent time at Hi-Y and Gamma Sigma. ■'I WAYNE TREW “Wayne” The great outdoors is the principal interest of Wayne, Gunbarrel Road’s much-appreciat- ed Senior, and we still all agree that he’d make a perfect stagecoach driver, complete with six-guns and buckskin jacket. DOROTHY TRUAX “Dotty” This Senior lass' smile is a give-away that she is full of the devil, always showing that little extra pep that you have often wished you had. LUCRETIA WEBBER “Lukey” “1 wish I had said that.” Lukey is the kind of a girl who comes up with that lost answer at the time when it is needed. Wc hear that she is quite a softball player. WILLIAM EARL WHITNEY “Whit” If you should happen to see a good looking boy with a cinema uniform, most likely it will be Whit. He also has done his share for us. MARY JEAN WILCOX “Wimp” If you have ever been to any of B'ville’s athletic contests, then you must surely know this little lass for she has been one of our cheerleaders for four years, and this year found her heading the group. JANET YEANDLE “Jan” Janet’s favorite pastime is driving. As she lives in Cold Springs, she spends quite a bit of her time commuting to and from Bald- winsville. i TOMMY LEE YOUNG ‘Ike Look at the birdie! Now don’t move. Ike is our photographer and not only did he do a large percentage of the pictures in the Lyre but he can also play a mighty hot trum- pet. EDWARD YOUNTS Ed!’ “Speed ought to have been the middle name given to Ed. Take a look at his outstand- ing track record over a three year period. His ability as a runner did much in helping to make us county track champions. ROBERT ZIMMER “Bob Bob has really been on the job as one of the projectionist club’s mainstays.

We have all noted with pride your success on Broadway and we were sorry your new play kept you in New York. As you couldn’t attend the reunion, I thought I’d write and tell you what your former classmates are now doing. The biggest surprise of all is that Charlie Cochrane has just been elected representative from New York’s Third District—cigar and all. Remember how we all used to kid Charlie about being a politician? Strangely enough, the 2 A’s from our class, Jane Asselstine and Lynwood Aller, are now operators of the Double A drive-in. They have quite a thriving business and they employ Pearl Lister to sell tickets and Robert Powell as the man who tells people how to park their cars without taking the sound equipment with them. Now in Norma Lamb’s famous Pump Room are the Seneca Seven led by Bill Mignault. His band consists of Ward Hall, Tom Young, Don Hirsh, Tom DeNeve, Ann Lowery, with its featured attraction, vocalist Janice Earle. The chorus line there is really good and you would recognize many of them as old classmates: Bubbles” Claver, “Cuddles” Brown, “Can-Can” Canino, “Ragtime” Reed and last but not least “Silent” Shirley Gregory. The service here is really efficient. Head waiter Fred Fauler assisted by Dan Geist and Bob Payne serve up the wonderful food of chef Lisle “Pierre” Miller. While enjoying a pause between my meal and the floor show, I began to look around the room and much to my surprise saw that the Class of ’53 was patronizing their former classmate’s establishment quite well. Seated at the main table in the dining room was a host of men and women who are outstanding in their varied fields of endeavor. Giving the principal address was Ronald Patchett, M.D., who is President of the American Medical Association. Attentively listening were Dean Normand and Ted Duxbury; president and vice president respec- tively of American Automobile Manufacturers of America. At the far end of the table, Bill Gifford, well known Industrial Relations man, was mediating a quarrel between John Tappan, president of Amalga- mated Mercury Pushers Union, and John Horner, head of U. S. Thermometer Corporation. Due to the fact that the verbal argument was getting rather hot and heavy, I went out of the dining room and into the lounge where even more of your old classmates were seated. It was quite a thrill to know that so many of our friends have done so well. Sitting in the lounge and arguing over which is the best branch of service were Ensign Claude Reith, U.S.N., 2nd Lieutenant Bill Hirsh, Army, and Major Ed McDermott, U.S.M.C. It would be interesting to point out here that just across the street in the Gong Building, Sports- caster Earl Whitney is giving rare notices to All-American Basketball Players Oley Houghtaling and Art Peters. By the way, Gerald Gallup and Wayne Trew plan to be out your way pretty soon with their Wild West Show. What did you think of the Four Bees winning the American Bowling Congress Title? Len Davis, Ray Bresee, Paul Premo, and Bob Zimmer were really quite happy and the prize money is nothing to sneeze about. 34 Nancy Clark, the archeologist, is on her way to West Africa. Stan Bush is her guide, with Francis Stebbins and Lee Flanders as her gun bearers. Betty Bennett and Margaret Schmidt went along as the cooks. Remember the Maple Road crew that went to school with you? Pat Lamson and Shirley Holmes are Mayor and Trustee of Maple Road now and to hear them talk. New York City is a suburb of it. Morris Machine Works just held their 2nd Annual Beauty Contest. Mary Storm, Mary Hanley and Elise Pfarrer came in in that order to run away with the honors. Speaking of Morris Machine Works, Bob Lory, George Papuga and John McWilliams made quite a name for themselves and are now all on the Board of Directors. They handed out jobs to their old classmates and now Nancy Kisselstein, Doro- thy Truax and Nancy Carrington are personal secretaries. Upon hearing a loud commotion from the bar, I quickly investigated and was a bit surprised to find Jim Davis and Jim Goldstine, both citizenship teachers, taking advantage of the summer vacation to tend bar very confidently behind the protection of chief bouncer Bob Peterson, former lightweight champ. Shir- ley DeLyne, back from a recent appearance in Carnegie Hall, tells us that Anne Doughty, English teacher, is a terrific torch singer in the rival “joint next door, which, by the way, is a successful all-night Hash House, owned by Ed Younis, and Norma Greene. Noticing the back door swing open, I saw Ron Stanton, High School principal, sneaking in most silently, until he tripped and fell upon the bar, cutting his hand. However, this tragedy is obliterated when Margaret Higgins and Jean Fuller, now both nurses, rush to his aid. I was about to call for an ambulance when I remembered that the phone would be dead, since Mary Jean Wilcox, Lucille Clark, Sally Coates, and Regina Evans, the golden voiced employees of the Bell Telephone System, were all with us. I was also quite amused when Helen Hotchkiss and Helen Pyke came rushing over to Principal Stanton and asked if he called for dictation. They really hustled for that extra bonus. Remeber Paula Ketcham? Well she now makes Ketcham’s Kosmetics and employs Anna Nentwick, Sue McDermott, and Marion Kiggins to sell them. I think there are only about thirteen missing from the reunion. I will try to tell you about them if I can. Ann Farrell is married to a career soldier and right now is seeing a lot of country. Mary Gardner, Joan McCarthy and Gwen Paige are now the leaders of the Youth Councils in their districts. Katherine Jensen and Shirley King are busy taking care of their children with Shirley raising hers to be politicians. Janet Yeandle, Leota Penniman, Kathleen Regan and Lucretia Webber are partners in the Wayside Inn in West Phoenix. Remember Dot Paige? She is now Editor of the Baldwinsville Trouper, the new weekly newspaper. Well, I guess I about summed up everything, Elizabeth. By the way, I’m taking a train (cattle train) to Los Angeles this Monday. I hope someone has a dime for a cup of coffee.

Although we have waited four years for graduation’s big moment, we will miss all the fun and friends we’ve had during our high school years. We started our Freshman year by electing Terry Germain as an able Presi- dent. Mr. Hess helped us make our May Dance a success, and all of us had a good time at the Fair Haven picnic. Clarina Titcomb and Jim Davis carried off Junior Prize Speaking honors, while Ronnie Patchett shared the Latin I Trophy with Elizabeth Sears, who also won the Kiwanis Scholarship Award. Terry Germain was again our president, and our home room teachers, Mrs. Beyerl, Mrs. Pender, Miss Linsky, and Mr. Hosmer advised us during our Sopho- more year. Ronald Patchett won the Latin II Trophy, and all the Sophomores participated in many more activities. One of the most important events in our Junior year was the Christmas Ball. With Janice Earle as its main chairman, we decorated the gym and enjoyed ourselves at the formal dance. Shirley DeLyne was chosen president, and we raised quite a bit of money selling Christmas ornaments and having home room balce sales. Our advisors, Miss Linsky and Mr. Matthews helped us choose our Junior Play, “Family Circle,” an uproarious comedy which starred Elizabeth Sears and Terry Germain, and made a big hit with the audiences. The Juniors also made their mark in the scholastic department, as Elizabeth Sears and Ronnie Patchett won the Latin III Trophy; Anne Doughty, the French I Cup; and Shirley DeLyne, the French II Cup. Clarina Titcomb and Terry Germain won the Senior High Prize Speaking Contest. Student Council elections were held, with Elizabeth Sears emerging the victor, the first girl ever to become Student Council President. Art Peters was second highest scorer in the league in basketball and also won the Optimists’ Club “Athlete of the Week Award.” Goulet Sports Trophies were won by Ed McDermott in football and Orlando Houghtaling in baseball. Now we are Seniors and under the able leadership of Shirley DeLyne, with Miss Winchell as advisor, have elected Elizabeth Sears and Terry Germain as co-editors of the “Lyre,” successfully sold Christmas trees and wreaths, candy, coke, and magazines. Our Senior Play, “Mother Is A Freshman” is under way, with Elizabeth Sears in the title role, Bill Gifford as the man in question, and Paula Ketcham as her daughter. To finish the year in style, we’ll be looking for- ward to our Senior Ball and finally, the culmination of all our work, Graduation Day. 38 A Norm a ;1 « Qre v i - iu6 o f U m 4 ;iv • JUNIORS The main objective of the Junior Class this year was to continue to raise money which will be necessary in our senior year. With this in mind, we first appointed a committee who proposed such ideas as bakesales, auctions, raffles, dances, and the sale of various things. These were carried out through individual homerooms and by the class as a whole. Mrs. Gristwood’s homeroom raised the most money through bakesales and dues. The sale of Christmas cone hangers was a profitable project, due mostly to the cooperation of all the Juniors; few failed to sell less than five. The project we enjoyed the most and worked hardest on was the tradi- tional “Christmas Ball.” It is impossible to list the main workers on this, for it took the cooperation and labor of all the Juniors and our advisors to make this the big success that it was. In May we presented our Class Play, “Seventeenth Summer.” We were very proud of our cast in this production and very grateful to Miss Linsky for the many hours she sacrificed to work with them. Uuder the leadership of our wonderful class advisors, Miss Linsky and Mr. Matthews, and our class officers, Don Schneider, Dick Patchett, Joyce Mar- shall, and Jeanne Hornbeck, we have done our best to make this a prosperous year; we hope that our last year will be even better. 45 • hUt PHSMP vir, L Our Sophomore class, which is composed of 150 members, met and elected the following officers: President .................... John Perdiue Vice-President ................Gunar Blumberg Treasurer ........................ Bob Ridall Secretary ................... .Sandy Walters We have an executive committee consisting of two members from each of our four homerooms. This committee meets and develops plans which in turn are brought back to the Sophomore class for discussion. A committee has been appointed to work on a sports event which we are looking forward to presenting this spring. Several of our members have shown great scholastic and athletic ability. We appreciate Mrs. Sears’ help as class advisor. I 47 The Freshman class, composed of 161 members, met and elected the following officers: President.................. Betsy Peck Vice-President .................Dick Peck Treasurer......................Susan Hall Secretary....................Barbara Purdy Our class advisors are Miss Emmi, Mr. Palmer and Mr. Lindenmayer. The homerooms each have two representatives, plus our officers and ad- visors, who discuss plans and in turn bring them to the homerooms. J We are planning to have bake sales and dances to build up our tr sjs- ury so that in our Senior year we will have a substantial amount to wpik vy 49 m V) LYRE STAFF This year’s Lyre Staff has worked hard and long on what we hope will be the “biggest and best” yearbook in the school history. The co-editors, Terry Germain and Elizabeth Sears, were assisted by a very capable and hard working staff. An assembly was planned to aid the selling campaign. A new idea was introduced in which the Seniors are the possessors of different covers than the underclassmen. The “Snapshot Contest” was won by Pat Lamson with what we feel was a very unusual picture. Roily Germain and Tom Young were 2nd and 3rd place winners. We are exceptionally proud of the photographic work of Mr. Bovee. We would like to thank Miss Kinney and her Secretarial Practice class for doing our typing for us. Mary Agnes Tierney is also to be congratulated for her design of the Lyre cover. We hope that this yearbook will serve as a reminder in future years when many of us are separated and tend to forget our former classmates and the good times people can get only while in high school. Co-editors—Terry Germain, Elizabeth Sears Feature Editor—Bill Gifford Boys’ Sports Editor—Art Peters Girls’ Sports Editor—Gwen Paige Art Editor—Ann Farrell Assistants—Paula Ketcham, Jean Fuller, Ron Patchett, Mary Storm, Joan McCarthy. Photography—Tom Young 54 SENIOR HIGH STUDENT COUNCIL The Senior High Student Council is composed of one representative from each homeroom and one alternate. Our President, Elizabeth Sears, is the first girl to be elected to this office. Our Vice-President is Maury Tigner, our Secretary-Treasurer, Ann Farrell and our advisor, Mrs. Blanche Pender. We work as a service to the school and try to solve all the problems of the Student Body. Our first project in the fall was selling season tickets for the games. We figured the Honor Roll and sent letters of congratulation to the parents of those on it. As has been the custom, we fed the players and cheerleaders after the basketball games at home. To help pay for this we had a coat check room during the games and sponsored noon movies in the auditorium. We had a drive to buy a T-V set for a local disabled veteran for Christmas. Dining the second semester our big project was getting the support of the school and community in bringing a foreign student to our school. We sponsored an assembly about the project. Our elections will be held in the spring. We have had a very successful year, thanks to our hard-working officers and advisor. The members have been very cooperative and we have accom- plished a great deal. 55 JOURNALISM CLUB “Everything that is fit to print”-that is the motto of the hard working staff members on the “School Daze.” This year’s club has made many improvements and innovations under the watchful eye of Mrs. Sears and they are constantly looking to the future. The new look in the “Daze” is an outstanding symbol of their achievements under the more than efficient editing of Joan Ashbery and her supporting cohorts. 56 SENIOR RED CROSS President—James Goldstine Vice President—Annette Durgee Secretary and Treasurer—Jean Parks Reporter—Dorothy Paige Teacher Sponsor—Mrs. Marie McCrea This summer our President, James Goldstine, went to the Junior Red Cross National Convention in Cleveland as a delegate of the Syracuse Onondaga Chapter. Three of our members Jean Parks, John Salisbury and Annette Durgee participated in the County Training Center at Manlius. James Goldstine, Presi- dent of the County Chapter, acted as a Junior Counselor. Our Chapter gave presents to Baldwinsville and Plainville Sanitariums on Christmas and Valentine’s Day. We also sent plants there. The Baldwinsville Sextet sang to the soldiers at Sampson Air Base Hospital. Each Friday noon we held a dance to help with our charitable projects. A scrapbook was also made containing the past year’s events and also cor- respondence from foreign countries. 57 S' V BAND The senior band has improved greatly this year. We have developed a better point system and have appointed section leaders to improve our per- forming tactics. Included among band activities were outdoor marching tactics, letter for- mation and the playing of the Alma Mater of visiting football teams to show more sportsmanship. We performed an exchange musical concert with Cato- Meridian Central School and have played for prize speaking at our own school. Maury Tigner, our tuba player, was chosen by a state committee to go to Buffalo and play in All-State Band under the direction of Dr. William D. Revelle. We were very proud as he was the only one chosen from this section of the state. We are also very glad to say that four of our members are going to the New York State School Music Association for a class rating. They are: Gerald Lasher, Emerson Zahn, Steve Tigner and Ann Lowery. Our band officers this year were: President—Ward Hall Secretary—Ann Lowery Treasurer—John Porter.

With coach Don Coates returning to the helm, ably assisted by Joseph Guerrera, the boys showed they wanted to win from the start, by defeating North Syracuse on a muddy, slippery field. It was no individual effort on any one person’s part but a 100% team effort throughout the season which brought the championship back to the banks of the Seneca. 'frl'oujf t, All-county berths were given to Jim Burton and Art Peters on the first team; Don Payne, Bill Hirsh, Oley Houghtaling and Ed McDermott on the second and Dean Normand, Honorable Mention.

With most of the boys having another year of eligibility, much can be expected in the 53 season. Led by the pitching of Oley Houghtaling and the hitting of players like John Czerwinski, Jim Burton and Bill Hirsh, the fans had many moments to cheer. Perhaps the most exciting game was the second encounter with East Syra- cuse, in which a very close and disputed play cost the Bee’s the championship. Coach—Joseph Guerrera Lettermen J.

The team, which only suffered one league defeat, was well coached into a smooth working combination by Mr. Guerrera. The most exciting event of the season was the fact that Solvay was beaten three straight times. This marked the first time in history that this had hap- pened. The boys captured the play-off championship and added the B and AB title to their winnings. All-county births were given to Art Peters on the first team and Oley Hough- taling. Bob Payne and Jack Vanderveer on the second. The season was ended with a large dinner in honor of the coaches and players.

In the last game of the season against Solvay, which was to decide the championship, the boys showed their spirit by coming from behind to win by two points. Lettermen L. Aller B. Bresee R. Bresee W.

Although one of the minor sports in the school, cross-country is on the climb up the ladder to success and with a little more support could very well become a major sport.
