Cherry Valley Central School - Karatongan Yearbook (Cherry Valley, NY)

Text from Pages 1 - 136 of the 1953 volume:

r ‘ I Published by The Class of 1954 CHERRY VALLEY CENTRAL SCHOOL Cherry Valley, New York UMTOIMI IE PREFACE The Karatongah of 1953 has as its theme Cherish Our Heritage. Through the pages of this book, the staff has attempted to show the work, the fun, and the opportunities of a student at Cherry Valley as they are enjoyed today, because the citizens of our school community have bequeathed us an educational background enriched by the exper- iences of the past. Mr. F. Le Vere Winne, in writing of Cherry Valley, said Educa- tion began in Cherry Valley at the same time the first settlers cleared their land to establish a new home out of the wilderness. Reverend Samuel Dunlop, who came to Cherry Valley in 1741, taught and preached in a combination church and school erected from logs of the forest. In 1795 the first English speaking classical school west of the Hud- son was established by the Cherry Valley Academy Society. During the nineteenth century the following schools were established: The first district school. The Cherry Valley Female Academy. The Cherry Valley Conservatory of Music. The Cherry Valley Law School, from which many of the most prominent citizens of that time were graduated. The Lancaster School which was made a Union Free School on October 1, 1900. In 1927 the Cherry Valley Central Rural District was formed, from which has grown our present school system. THE STAFF Indeed, we have a right to be proud of our Heritage! HONOUR THY FATHER AND THY MOTHER stands written among the laws of most revered right- eousness --lbid To our parents, the class of 1954 has the honor of dedicating this edition of the Karatongah. The success of each student has been the reward of every father and mother who has been patient and helpful to his child; the failure of each student has been lightened by encouraging words and by faith in him from his parents. The dedication of this bookisa small reward for the years of loving care that our fathers and our moth- ers have bestowed upon us but this is oneway inwhich we can say Thank You[ ----THE JUNIORS P.

MAY Installation of officers. DISTRICT SUPERINTENDENT, FIRST DISTRICT, OTSEGO COUNTY We are living in a time of appalling confusion. Our Belief in the rights and dignity of the individual, our love of freedom and our zeal for peace is under attack. The school must help youth to understand and to respect the wisdom of their forebearers. They believed that there can be no reward with- out quest, no skill without countless trials and no security without sacrifice. They lived the spirit of liberty. It is our duty in education to preserve and to interpret our priceless American Heritage for our students of to-day if future generations are to live in peace and as free men in the world of to-morrow. -Nathan C. Southworth Board of Education Mrs. Josephine Graves Dr. William B. Schaer Harold Hayes PRESIDENT Lei and Boyce CLERK VICE PRINCIPAL William Klubko Jay Van Dewerker Anton Semrov Jr. SCHOOL PHYSICIAN Dr. George Rosenthal C. Deane Sinclair, Supervising Principal THE PRINCIPAL CHERISH YOUR HERITAGE Much has been said and written about the heritage that is ours in Historic Cherry Valley . Of that we are justly proud. In our school much has been accomplished. Much is being planned. What more then, is needed? Are you making the most of your oppor- tunities? Are you making the greatest possible use of your teachers? Are you develop- ing in that trait called character that is found in your associations, rather than in textbooks? Will you be a future citizen well qualified to meet the problems of the pre- sent day world? In this day when so many seem to have a warped view on life, can you distinguish between what is right and what is wrong? Can you discipline yourself; be expected to behave properly when not under direct supervision? Can you be relied on to do what you say you will do at the time you say you will do it? Are you con- siderate, cheerful, pleasant? What heritage wil I you leave? Yes, by all means Cher- ish Your Heritage but keep your eyes on the future. -C. Deane Sinclair FACULTY Miss F.

Miss Gilday's 1st and 2nd grade rooms. Mrs. Cole's room. The 6th grade room, that meant moving upstairs for the rest of your school days. Study hall. Our homeroom for four wonderful years. Where we had noisy class meetings. Where we laughed, studied and talked. The old lab, gone to make room for the new addition. The gym. Where we learned to dance and to play basketball. Where we had parties and dances. Where we watched years of basketball games. The scoreboard we looked at so often. Remember our first years in school? Reading Friendly Village. And learning subtraction? Remember 6th grade and the trouble we had with Greeks and Romans when there were more important things? Like passing notes and whispering. This is Study Hall. Just about the largest room in the school. But it was crowded when the 7th grade moved in. Mr. Klubco came to C.V. in February, and he has been with us as class advisor every year since then. Remember Mr. Robinson's Junior High classes where you never knew what to expect? And our trip to Albany? We sat in the chairs in the legislature, and were fascinated by the Indian exhibits in the museum. As 8th graders, we moved back into Study Hall with Mr. Klubko. And what a year that was. We had class parties, and took a trip to Howe Caverns. 1 guess no class misses that annual event. As freshmen we really got down to business. Remember our terrific enthusiasm at everything from basketball games to class meetings. We had bake sales and our first School Fair concession. But we ignored class dues. It seemed like forever until Senior Year. And then we were sophomores. There was so much to keep us busy. Study Hall buzzed with activity. Roller skating and movie parties. Our first big dance in April— The Bunny Hop. As juniors we were even busier. Remember the time we spent working on our yearbook, The Pickup ? And the Cinderella Prom in the spring. Remember the great time we had decorating the gym? And none of us will ever forget the play we put on that year— Bashful Bertie. So much goes into your years in school. Hundreds of things that didn't seem important when they happened. Just fun. Not stuff that goes into a class history—but most important of all. Selling hotdogs and cokes at ball games. Running the candy sale. Cleaning up the day after a dance. Gabfests at noon hour. Bake sales on Saturday afternoons. Cutting English class to work on some important com- mittee. Making up your collective minds about where to go on the senior trip. So much is wonderful about it that you feel strange about leaving. Now that it's all over we realize how wonderful it is. And the people who have spent these years with us are most wonderful of all. But don't cry. You never get rid of senior classes. They keep coming. New ones every year. With the same things to remember. Nothing new about them. Except being young. And finding fun in almost everything. -CARRIE BATES CLASS OFFICERS TREASURER SECRETARY PRESIDENT VICE-PRESIDENT NEWS REPORTER Dawn Bogardus Carlene Gillette Margaret Eckler Anne Dubben Carol Ann Wickwire Heidi Erchinger Laura Webster Clara Bowen Beverly Hawver Anne Buchmeier Robert Spencer George Yerdon Robert Loucks John Prian Dean Utter Emory Oeser Fred Schmid Yvonne Edwards Richard Mead Linda Hall June Winne George Burnside Kathryn Nelson Cecile Wiener Junior Class ROW 1: Flora Dubben, Phyllis Hoke, Jean Leneker, Heidrun Erchinger, Mrs. Nielsen, June Winne, Elizabeth Van Patten, Elizabeth Camp, Helen Stevens.

Several of the games were very close and most exciting to watch. That game at Sharon Springs was thrilling! Sharon was ahead by two points; when tn the remaining few seconds of the game, Seth Yerdon tied it up. We won by three points! Then there was that Cooperstown game with Seth again turning the tide and bringing victory to dear old C.V.C. S.

We have competed with neighboring schools in the area, namely: Richfield Springs, Sharon Springs, Fort Plain, Bridgewater, llion and Canajoharie. Mr. and Mrs. Nostrant have been our coaches during the year. Miss Kovac and Miss Ehrmann assisted the coaches as faculty advisors. =2 ADULT EDUCATION This year as in the past two years, the Cherry Vailey Centra!

New advisors to the Student Council are: John Nostrant and James Rose. Meetings of Student Government have been held once a month when regular business was conducted by the Student Body and the assembly programs were given by one class group at each meeting. The Student Council started off the year by selecting the varsity and junior varsity cheerleaders after the tryouts had been held. They set new qualifications for athletic awards. They discussed with the principal about having more time for passing between classes. After Mr. Sinclair heard the request, a three minute passing bell was granted. The Student Council sponsored a football game; the proceeds, about $150, were given to the Ivan Webb Fund. A committee interviewed Mr. Flint, Mayor of Cherry Valley, about having outside orchestras sponsor dances on the nights when we have school activities. Mayor Flint agreed that the village hall would not be rented to outsiders when school activities were held. They improved the old trophy case for display of school trophies. They sponsored a circus in the spring. ROW 1: Flora Dubben, Joanne Gilday, Claudia Wentworth. ROW 2: Alma Hayes, Jaquelin Haith, Claudine Camp.

The band this year began its season by leading the Hal loween parade up Main Street and back to the school. Then they played in the auditorium, while the judges were awarding prizes for costumes. The band gave a short performance on the field at the beginning of the Cherry Valley-Milford football game. In November a few students, selected from the band, went to Mohawk to play in the state sectional band. Other stu- dents were chosen to play in the Festival Band of Supervisory District No. 1. which has given concerts in Cherry Valley, East Springfield, Richfield Springs, and Edmeston. In the spring the band gave a concert at the annual music festival held in our school. On May 30th, as is the custom, the band led the parade to the cemetery for the Memorial Day Service.

Since that time the number of members has been small each year but they have been very interested in agriculture and fields related to it. In 1946 the department started to expand and now there are 36 mem- bers. The F.F.A. is one of the largest reasons for the increased interest in agriculture. The F.F.A. boys have been to Kansas City twice to the National Convention and 15 boys have been to the State F.F.A. camp. We have 4 Empire farmers and this year expect to have 5 more. Next year we should have our first American Farmer. Officers for the F.F.A. are Charles Markel, Pres.; William Wilson, Vice-Pres.; Robert Morton, Report- er; Lloyd Tabor, Treas.; and Bob Spencer, Sec. Bob Weeks, Sentinel. Mr. James Rose is the advisor for the chapter. Future Homemakers of America ROW 1: Evelyn Wilson, Shirley Alpaugh, Dawn Bogardus, Miss Kovac, Grace Stannard, Elinor Gross, Shirley Porath.
