Chestertown Central School - Panther Yearbook (Chestertown, NY)

Text from Pages 1 - 88 of the 1968 volume:

Dedication Mrs. LaFlure was truly a member of our class. She ate Mason candy, strung crepe paper, and laughed in true class spirit. We seniors shall always remember her help and guidance. We dedicate our 1968 yearbook to you, Mrs. LaFlure. Appreciation The seniors would also like to express our appre- ciation to all our teachers and especially Mrs. Wakely. Most of us spent two enjoyable years as youngsters with her. We are most thankful for her help on our prom and the many other things that she does that go un- noticed . 2 Principal Mr. Troisi has been principal two years at Chestertown; in this short time he has gained the re- spect and friendship of die seniors, teachers and whole student body. We shall always remember Mr. Troisi's sincere interest in every student and his education. Board Of Education Mr. Thomas Stewart . . .

MAXAM MR. PLACE Custodian MR. ROBERTS Busdrivers SENIOR S Few will forget the Friday night parties Ka- thy held after basketball games. She and her Ouija board entertained many seniors and underclassmen. Kath enjoys English and history. In her senior year, she was nominated by the history department to compete for a DAR scholarship. As an enthusiast of music , Kathy played first clarinet, sang alto in chorus and partici- pated in Allstate. During her junior year, she was co-editor of the Panther and throughout her high school years has been a member of the cheerleading squad. Ka- thy likes all winter sports, especially ski- ing and ski-dooing. We'll all remember Widow Hinkley out to get a man. To Debbie Martin, Kathy leaves the mem- ories of their ski-doo trails, accidents and incidents. Kathryn M. Beadnell 10 You could always count on Chris to be absent the first day of hunting season, and usually he'd come to school the next day with a proud smile on his face. Yes, he was our great hunter , but he also had another interest, his Chevy. You could usually find Chris at the garage working on the ol bomb. He leaves Steve White the keys to his car for when- ever failure slips come out. 11 Scott was one of our outstanding athletes as well as an outstanding stu- dent. He put effort and lots of it, into everything he pursued. His quick basket- ball maneuvers, soccer ability and strong pitching arm were truly a credit to CHS sports. Scott was a member of the Na- tional and Local Honor Society, keeping on the top of the list of school scholars. Water skiing, snow skiing and the little red Yamaha take care of his spare time . Scott Bennett Stephanie A. Cooper Steph was one of our vivacious varsity cheerleaders. Her uncontrollable giggle and flirtacious nature will always be remembered by her schoolmates, Steph was an active member of the press club, chorus, library club, and student council. She always managed to have fun, especially around boys. Stephanie was crowned queen of this year's Sno- ball. She leaves to her brother, Don, Mrs. La Flures history class in hopes that he may pass with less difficulty than she had. Susan Catherine Culver Sue will always be remembered for her outgoing school spirit. She lead the alma mater as a cheerleader and the band as head majorette. She served as Student Council president during her senior year and was active as first clarinet in band, alto in chorus, and library and press clubs. Sue's interests include water and snow skiing and the piano. She leaves 7th period homemaking classes and Captain Klink to Sandy Bisner hoping they will have as much fun in the future. 14 Kyle M. Hayes Kyle was one of the busiest seniors, as class president, editor of the school pa- per, president of the Local Honor Society, and member of band, chorus, and the yearbook staff he had a crowded schedule. Kyle spends winter week-ends skiing, passes his summers at The Point , and enjoys photography, and tennis. He has a strong interest in art, especially primi- tive and 20th century. After graduation he will attend St. Bonaventure University, but will never forget his jovial friends at C.H.S. To Pat he leaves a well stocked” Physics lab, and to Manfred he leaves Pat. 15 Martha Sue Hayes Susie Hayes has been an active mem- ber of the library club and of the school press club. As a cafeteria assistant she helped prepare and serve the daily lunches. Sue enjoys homemaking and gym. She is one of the better basketball players in the 8th period gym class. Few seniors will forget the joke Mike played on Martha in D.C. Martha wants to leave her gym class to Debbie C. 16 Daniel Patrick Magee When the outside shooters are cold in a varsity basketball game , they rely on big Dan, coach's bread and butter man . Dan has netted many points contributing to many C.H.S. victories. As right full back Dan prevented many opposing soc- cer teams from scoring. He was adept at creating disturbances in classes and study halls, much to the amusement of his classmates. Joshua Frunheiser, the meanest, scraping, gasping, hog-lover in the Ozarks will not be easily forgotten as one of the 68 seniors. Dan leaves a double barrel shotgun to Sio , and a snake to R . A. 17 Harold Moffitt Harold loved to trade antiques and pester Mrs. Magee. He had an affinity for greasy pork chops. Harold took a course in computer programming at B.O.C.E.S. in Warrensburg; he spent many hours sweeping the halls and class rooms as a member of the youth corps. He wishes to leave his still to whoever can hide it from the revenuers. 18 Jim was one of the sharpest wits in our class. His classmates and teachers always enjoyed his remarks . Math and science were Jim's best subjects; his in- terests centered around cars and food. We shall always remember Jim as the white knight at our Christmas party, gallantly dousing Harold in a shower of Yallar Soap . Jim leaves his pipe to Steve White and his car troubles to Kevin Jones. James Nestor 19 Michael G. Packer Mike could always be found running circles around opposing basketball, soccer and baseball teams. His quick eye and actions added much to the teams, as he pumped in points, made runs and kicked goals for continous C.H.S. victories. Mike was also the king of the year's Sno-ball. His monkey shines in Washington will long be remembered by his classmates, especially Sue. Frequent trips to War- re nsburg were offset by many nights in a cold phone booth. Mike leaves his supervising ability to John Barlow, his zonebreaker to Ernie LaFlure and his pipe to Alvin to enjoy while he is ice-fishing. Benjamin Tennyson The loudest and best trumpet player has contributed much to the success of the band. In soccer and baseball Ben has been an enthusiastic center half back and third baseman. In math class he was capable of provoking and helping Mr. Wentworth and in science he was awarded the Bausch and Lomb prize , but was still capable of blowing up the lab. Ben leaves the baseball bats that he has borrowed in the last two years to Coach Sullivan in hopes that he'll know what to do with them, his trumpet playing to Bob Swan, and a bottle of anti-squeek oil for a clari- net and the bumps on the ski-doo trails to Mary Jane. 21 Theodore Thoms Ted Thoms must be credited for being the most gymnastic student in the school-- that is, he averaged seven gym classes a week. Although not quite a Hell's Angel, Ted is an enthusiastic cyclist who can be found burning on a powerful but humble Yamaha. Ted would like to leave his horse to anyone who would pay a decent price for it . 22 Junior Prom The prom which was one of the most exciting events of our junior year, brings back many happy memories to all of us. The night was highlighted by the crowning of the king and queen, Scott and Sue, after which they danced to the theme song, With A Song In My Heart . It was held on May 12, and tire gym was colorfully decorated with three shades of pink and white. The decorations were brilliantly accented by a hugh heart which served as the back- ground for the thrones. Senior Trip Every underclassman looks ahead to the time when he will be on his way to Washington, D.C., to pay tribute to our nations capitol in a four day visit. The class of '68 was no exception. The magnificent pan- oramic view from Washington Monument, the mem- orable Iwo Jima Statue, the unique Annapolis Hotel, and Carol at the Bee feeders, will long be remembered. The seniors would like to express their gratitude to chaperones Mr. and Mrs. Ross, who both turned out to be real sports, and the Chestertown Board of Education who financed die trip. 24 UNDERGRADUATES James Maxam, Daniel Wood, Manfred Nicolas, Robert Montgomery, Richard White, William Annan, Linda Gagnon, Donald Cooper, Edward Schumacker, Ben Faggiano, Lee Baker, John Dunn, Stephen White, Mary Pauli, Virginia Drake, Susan Barlow, Donna De Grush, Patricia Kemmer, Vicki Faggiano, Sandra Bisner.

Who will ever forget Ben's solo, Trumpeter's Lullaby, at the Christmas concert or Kathy and Sue's quartets and duets throughout their high school years? We will all remember the heavy uniforms, hours of practice, the mistakes and Mr. Packer's patient direction. Chorus Chorus members sing at concerts and graduation. Kathy, Sue, Steph and Kyle will remember their parts in The Night Before Christmas presented at the Christmas concert. The Chorus sings a wide variety of numbers --spitituals, folk songs and popular tunes. 31 Student Council The Student Council is the governing body of the school. Two representatives from grades 9-12 and one from grades 7-8 attend the weekly meetings on Wednesday morning. The S.C. sponsors such activities as the Halloween and Christmas parties, the Sno-ball and the record hops after home basketball games. The Student Council president this year is Sue Culver, with senior representatives, Stephanie Cooper and Ted Thoms. 32 The National and Local Honor Societies participate in a number of cultural and academic programs each year. Membership in these groups is based on citizenship, scholarship, leader- ship, and service. The Local Honor Society is headed by officers Kyle, Scott, and Ben. 33 Honor Societies Library Club The Library Club is an organization which is responsible for the maintenance and upkeep of the library'. The girls, 9-12, donate one study hall a week. At this time, they mend books, straighten the magazine rack, and check-in and check-out books for the students. 34 Press Club The Press Club publishes the biweekly school paper, THE PANTHER. Each member of the statf contributes to each issue. Many hours are spent writing articles, typing rough drafts, and correcting stencils. In spite ol the hard work of senior staff members Kyle, K?thy, Sue and Steph, articles came in late, pages were lost, stencils were goofed, and the paper was off-schedule.” THE PANTHER, its news, gossip and humor formed an important part of our school life. Monitors The school monitors are responsible for the safety and conduct of students walking to and from school. These girls will remember many a cold, windy morning spent standing in the snow. Service Club The Service Club is headed by Mr. Gillings. These boys ire trained in operating the school's movie projectors and tape recorders. They assist grade and high school teachers by operating and maintaining this equipment. 36 Varsity Basketball Last year s squad, Marcy Conference Runner-up, was composed of three juniors, two sophomores, and a good bench, all of whom arc back this year. It is then no wonder that the '68 Chester Panthers are the most feared quint in the Marcy Conference. Varsity Cheerleaders Amid the excitement of a game, the yells of eight varsity cheerleaders can be heard. Seniors; Steph, Sue, and Kathy are three of these enthusiastic girls who practice two days a week and back up the boys at every game. As the lights dim, the Varsity and J.V. cheerleaders, along with the teams and spectators, join in sing ing the Alma Mater. J. V. Basketball Take ten of the most unlikely looking junior high boys, give them a basketball, three weeks prac tice, and one Mr. Ross; then place your bets that they'll be right up at the top fighting. It is here where the C.H.S. boys get their will and drive , thanks to both a great teacher and coach. J.V. Cheerleaders The noise in the halls after school on Tuesdays and Thursdays is due to some of the eighth and ninth grade girls who make up tire spirited J.V. cheerleading squad. Their practices have proved to be very successful obviously shown by the way they cheer on the J.V. ball-players. Soccer With die advantage of having almost the same team as 66-67 the 67-68 soccer team was able to win the SOUTHERN DIVISION of the MARCY CONFERENCE, but lost a close cham- pionship game to Wells by the score of 3-2. Even though the team lost this big game the boys Dan TrenJ°Jtx a? S“CC5”ful season and are looking forward to next year's season. Ben Class C seciiondlsM2kl fmiS ,ed SOCCer Career with CHS bV beating Keene Valley in die Baseball Because of good pitching and great hit- ting, the '67 Panthers were 6-0 in league action and lost the Marcy Conference Championship to Newcomb in a thrilling game that went down to the final out. This year's squad will be the same as last year's, and the players are looking forward to a championship season. wJLnilUL L ROCKWay 43 44 Robert Wood, Melvin Pauli, Stephen Barlow, John Palermo, Edward Bennett, Ernest LaFlure, Lorraine Reehl, Barbara Wanzel, Sandy Woods, Lynne Murphy, Ren£ Wood, Mary Lambert.

Lift the chorus, sing her praises, Over hill and dale. Hail to thee, our noble high school, Chester, hail all hail. Blest by love of all her children Who work with will and might, To keep her colors proudly flashing Scarlet and White.
