Chittenango Central School - Palladium Yearbook (Chittenango, NY)

Text from Pages 1 - 104 of the 1954 volume:

‘} tUCcteUu tt Why Our Year Book Is Called Palladium A certain wooden statue of Pallas Athena at Troy was called the Palladium. The Trojans held this in great reverence and thought that the safety of their city depended upon their posses- sion of it. During the siege of Troy, the Greeks stole this statue, but there must have been a second one because when the Trojans came to Italy under the leadership of Aeneas they brought with them a Palladium which the Romans con- tinued to look upon as essential to their security as a nation. Pallas Athena, or Minerva as she was some- times called, was the Goddess of Wisdom, who presided over the art of peace. Her head is often seen over the entrances to schools, libraries, and museums. The owl, too, the favorite bird of the goddess, is frequently found as a symbol of wisdom and learning. Therefore, I think that the school chose Palla- dium as the name of its yearbook because no word could make a more appropriate title than the name of a statue of the Goddess of Wisdom, who watches over as a guardian, the attempts of the students to publish a paper which will be larger and more interesting than the preceding editions. Just as the Trojans looked upon the Palladium as a safeguard to their liberty and well being, so we look upon our yearbook as a means to preserve the spirit and memories of Old Yates. -HAROLD FENTON '29 The coat-of-arms here reproduced indicated the original source and form of the surname Gate or Gates. The name has passed thru various forms of spelling—Yates, Yeats, Yate and so on. The coat-of-arms here shown was granted to Sir Ed- ward Yate in England in 1561. The family scat- tered into all parts of England and a number of Yateses found their way to American shores dur- ing the early days of colonization. The Yates family of Eastern New York descended from Joseph Yates, whr settled in Albany soon after the surrender of that province by the Dutch to the English. John 8. Yates, who gave and left so much to the village of Chittenango, was born in Schenec- tady February 1, 1784. He settled in Chittenango in 1816 and died here July 10, 1836. This crest was adopted by the class of 1954 to be the official traditional crest of the school and it is worn proudly on the Chittenango Class Rings and Pins. CO-EDITORS RON SANDHOLZER JOHN BUTTON CHITTENANGO CENTRAL SCHOOL Chittenango, New York And so it came to pass that in 1927 the old school, which we grew to love and cherish, was built. After eleven and one half years in that beloved building we . . . . . . progressed from the old to the new school. Each day that is spent in this new edifice makes us realize more and more the opportunities that accompany such a well equipped building. NA e hope that the future classes will take full advantage of these facilities and will use them to the best ad- vantage. 'I'u ute We are able to show our deepest grati- tude to MR. PAUL TAYLOR for his willing assistance and guidance throughout our Junior High school years by dedicating this book to him. The Class of '54 wishes to express its sincere appreciation to . . . MR.

By CAROL BOECKLE X £ m__ H School T)cdcCCtfcOK J44 (AtQief, As we take time at last to look back over the years, especially the last four, we recall many happy and som- ber moments. In September, 1950, the freshman room was amply filled with fifty-two happy freshmen under the guidance of Mr. Hatsell. Although it was the first step of the im- portant four, we started very enthusiastically by electing our class officers. We chose Holly Spears as president; John Button, vice president; Shirley Jardine, secretary; and Norman Gifford, treasurer. Later, when Holly moved away, John Button assumed the presidency and Carol Boeckle was elected vice president. We were well represented in sports and we were very proud of having Hazel Goodfellow and Dawn Stedman on the J.V. cheerleading squad. In our freshman year, we began working on a project that was going to take us four years to complete. The project was to go to Washington on a Senior trip. Through- out the years our motto in all activities became “Wash- ington or Bust!! We all enjoyed our freshman year, but looked for- ward to our next step as sophomores. In September, 1951, we were once more under the guidance of Mr. Hatsell; but this year as sophomores, all forty-six of us. Our class officers were chosen: John Button, president; Norman Gifford, vice president; Bar- bara Mintonye, secretary; and Gary Shephard, treasurer. We were well represented by both boys and girls in sports and on the cheerleading squad. Many participated in other activities such as: Student Council, Special Chorus, and Dramatic Club. Our first big campaign was the sale of magazine sub- scriptions. We-divided into two teams, the boys vs. the girls. The girls won and, as forfeit, “Slave Day was held with the boys acting as slaves. They spent most of the day carrying books, battling the crowds in the cafeteria, generally working hard and we girls did appreciate it. Barbara Mintonye was chosen ring chairman and rings were ordered. We sponsored two dances which added to our treasury for the Senior trip. We ended our sophomore year with $666.97 in our treasury. Then came the step that made us upperclassmen. The juniors assembled under the able guidance of Miss Ben- son. We again started the year by electing our class officers. John Button was elected president; Ron Sand- holzer, vice president; Barbara Mintonye, secretary; and Norman Gifford, treasurer. We began to sell school jackets, and pencils with the basketball schedule on them. They proved a popular sales item and many may be seen about the school. Along with basketball season, came the sale of potato chips. We also sold magazine subscriptions. All of these helped to fortify the treasury for the Senior trip. Then came the big event of the year, the “Junior Prom ' We decided to have it May 22nd with “William- son's Parisians. The theme was Land of Make Believe. The gym was decorated in yellow, green, and white crepe paper with small figures from the land of make believe. John Button and Beverly Bryant were crowned king and queen. It was a great success. We chose Bob Frazer to represent our class at Boys' State. We were well represented in sports, cheerleading. Special Chorus, Student Council and other activities. We ended the year with $1029.76 in our treasury and a feeling of self-satisfaction. Then, at last, we were seniors. Imagine! It was hard to believe, but we finally settled down under Mr. Pash- ley's leadership. The “Petticoat Government, as it was termed, consisted of president, Pat Conley; Vice President, Shirley Jardine; secretary, Barbara Mintonye,- and treas- urer, Beverly Meyers. The seniors were active in sports, Special Chorus, Stu- dent Council and other activities. The first project of the year was a dance. “The Korn Kob Hop was a great success. On December 18, 1953, we had our Spaghetti Din- ner with which the mothers so graciously helped. It was a great success and it added about $150 to our treasury. Right after Christmas, we moved into the new school and everything seemed wonderful. We then set about working busily in preparation for the Senior Ball on January 29th. Having the first big dance in the new gym meant that we really had to have everything perfect. We engaged Dick Martin's Orchestra and chose Winterama for our theme. The gym was decorated with snowflakes, a snowman, and evergreens. There also was a large mural of a winter scene at one end. The dance was a grand success and everyone had a wonderful'time. Although our treasury was ever increasing, we were still short of the $2000 mark. Plans were then made for a Senior Play to be held April 9th. The Little Dog Laughed was the title of the three-act comedy that was chosen. Everyone worked hard and it proved a very successful evening socially and financially. We also appreciated the time and work spent by the mothers in the Rummage and Bake Sale which boosted our treasury greatly. Finally, one day in class meeting, it was announced that our tickets to Washington, the hotel, and tours had been paid. Forty-five sighs of relief were heard as we realized our trip to Washington was no longer a hope. On Good Friday, forty seniors left for Washington with our chaperons: Mrs. Barmore, Miss Arthur, and Mr. Pash- ley. We all enjoyed seeing Washington; but we were very glad to get home, even at five o'clock in the morning. Ron Sandholzer and John Button were chosen to edit our yearbook. I think the work of the editors and the staff is well shown by this book. At last, we have come to the day when we are to leave C.C.S. to find our way in the world. We are all looking forward to the future; but we will never forget these past four years. We would like to thank Mr. Bray- men and the faculty for their guidance through the years. BARBARA CHANDLER-C ass Historian (fitted 'PnafiAecy While on my vacation from my duties as secretary to Chief Justice of the Supreme Court, Charles Bloss, I decided to return to Chittenango for a visit. Before leaving Washing- ton, I met Jack Norman, U. S. Ambassador to Albania. He hold me that while in England he went to a wrestling match and saw Elliot Weston become the World Champion Wrestler. Jack also told me that Myron Burke has become captain of the S. S. Mount Vernon. (Remember that cruise?) I decided to stop in New York on the way to Chittenango. On a billboard, I noticed a sign advertising Don Mousey Armlin as the circus strongman. I also noticed Carolyn Marshall's name on Broadway. (She's quite an actress you know.) While in New York, I wanted to take in some television shows. In the lobby of the studio, I met Eileen Kinnetz, who has become a world traveler. I also met Ida Wisner and Shirley Jardine who have become models, Ida for long hair styles and Shirley a photographer's model. The Paul Whiteman show was very enjoyable. I was surprised to find that many of my classmates are members of Whiteman's cast. Donna Powers sings with the girls' quartette. Fred Blaiser plays with the orchestra and Carol Bosckle gave up teaching to become soloist with Whiteman. Carol told me that Barbara DeGroat has become pianist with Ron Boylan's Jazzy Jivers. Bob Sawyer is the Master of Ceremonies for many quiz shows. Pat Conley appeared on one of these and I learned that she is now president of the National As- sociation of Gigglers. Upon arriving in Chittenango, I noticed an ultra-modern building. I learned that this is Dean Bender's new garage. Incidentally, It was designed by Ron Sandholzer, who has become a very famous architect. Fred Devendorf, who now owns a large cab fleet in Syracuse, was one of Dean's first customers. I noticed a used car lot and was told it belongs to Norman Gifford. While walking up to visit the school, I met Annette Eller (her name has been changed now). She quit her job at the telephone company to put all her energies into housework (it takes a lot of washing to get the grease out of Doug's clothes). She told me that Lewis Reals is an Admiral in the U. S. Navy and that Lee Button has become a state trooper. (He's very good when it comes to catching speeders.) She also told me that Frank Impelizzieri owns a chain of supermarkets and that Carpenter is his local manager. I finally made it to the school. As I walked through the halls, I noticed that Barbara Chandler is teaching languages. I also noticed that Shirley Olmstead has become the dietician. I stopped to talk to Virginia Du Bois, who's secretary to the principal, John Button. She told me about all my other classmates. She mentioned the bridge club which consists of Dawn Stedman, Bev Bryant, Hazel Goodfellow and Carolyn Herlov who are all married now. Bev Meyers is also married and is President of the local P.T.A. Evelyn DeVaul owns a large, exclusive restaurant. Barbara Winer and Barbara Mintonye are both successful nurses. Dan Reardon is a cigarette salesman. Jack Browne'l and Bob Mohorter are farmers and Don Thayer is a professional basketball player. Well, I had a very enjoyable vacation trip. I was glad to see old friends. I think they have all done well-from Supreme Court Judge to cab driver. Don't you??

We sponsored the New Gym Dan-Dee Dance. We also sponsored paper drives in Chittenango and Bridgeport. We sold beanies, pins, and pen- nants, all of which sup- plemented our treasury. One of our most success- ful projects was the sell- ing of ribbon candy for Christmas. Besides carrying on all of these activities, we planned our Junior Prom for May 21. Our theme was the Hawaiian Cruise. We were well repre- sented in sports and other school activities. Generally, we've had a very successful year and we are looking for- ward to becoming sen- iors.

Class rings have been ordered and everyone is looking forward to their arrival early in the jun- ior year. Both boys and girls gave our class a good showing in sports.

Both groups were sorry to see Mrs. Marvin leave in January. She was re- placed by Mr. Olson, who has become a good friend to us all. Our first activity of the year was a vie dance, held on November 13, 1953. Our second event was an orchestra dance with the Ozark Mountain Boys. Both were great successes. The freshmen also par- ticipated in both band and sports. Maureen Blasier was the only freshman who made the cheerleading squad. We're all very proud of her. Our first year in high school has been a tre- mendous success. We are eagerly looking forward to the three years ahead. ffA55 HV5tpPY President, Beatrice Madell; Vice President, James Laible; Secre- tary, Carol Jardine; Treasurer, Dianne Cooper. tyuide In September, ninety- four eighth graders as- sembled in the audi- torium of the old school, under the guidance of Mrs. Evans.

HISTORY OF THE CHITTENANGO BEAR In October, 1939, the basketball team from Chittenango, along with Coach Heinlen and Mr. Pashley, ventured to Alfred Keene's camp near Noblesboro, the Adirondacks, for a weekend outing. While there, Mr. Pashley shot a black bear. Following the trip, the team enjoyed a bear dinner, at which time they decided to call the athletic teams of Chittenango the Bears. Thus in the years that followed and still today Chittenango's teams are known under the descriptive name, Bears. The above seal was designed by RON SANDHOIZER 'poat zCl FRONT ROW: Douglas Wesseldine, Ronald Martin, Elliot Weston, Gary Kyer, Peter Stucker, Thomas Burke. Dean Bender, Francis Fuller.

BUTTON The AGE of ALUMINUM The world has seen the Stone Age followed by the Bronze Age, which, in turn, was succeeded by the Iron Age. All of these materials are still widely used, but, in this century, there has opened what might well be called the ALUMINUM AGE. Aluminum, a bluish-white metal, is corrosion resistant, non-mag- netic, a good conductor of electricity and has but one-third the weight of Iron. Discovered in 1727 it was not separated as a pure metal until 1825 and 100 years ago was still a laboratory curiosity costing over $500.00 a pound. In the middle of the nineteenth century it was looked upon al- most as a precious metal and Napoleon III, Emperor of France, had an entire table service made from it. There is a record of a Parisian jeweler in the 1870's advertising opera glasses with the choice of either Platinum or an Aluminum case at the same price. By 1885 Aluminum had dropped to about $5.00 a pound, and in that year the discovery by C. M. Hall of the electrolytic reduction process opened the gate to cheap quantity production of the metal so that by 1900 the price was $.33 per pound. Now the price is $.20 per pound. Today there is a demand in America alone for three billion pounds of Aluminum per year and products made from this metal are found in airplanes, ships, automobiles, and buses and a great new market is now opening for it in business and residential con- struction. At PRECISION we have been producers of die castings in Aluminum for over 40 years and the range of products made from Aluminum is almost limitless. Among the more common die cast applications are parts for compressors, pumps, household appliances, sewing machines, television, machine tools, typewriters, laundry equipment, radios, aircraft engines, automobiles, stoves and ranges, lighting fixtures, dental instruments, athletic goods and military and naval supplies. We are proud to have participated in the development of Alum- inum products in this new era and can see in the ALUMINUM AGE an expanding horizon for this useful metal, once more costly than GOLD.
