Special Appreciation Mr. Pashley, also known as Pash, has been a guiding light for C.C.S. students for many years as our teacher, as our advisor for the Palladium, FFA, and other activities, as a coach of wrestling, and even as the inspiration for the C.C.S. mascot, the Bear. His presence of mind and wisdom will be a great loss to us. As our parting wish we thank him for his persever- ance in all our endeavors. Dedication Mr. DiCristina is a man of great importance to Chit- tenango. As athletic director he has stepped into and contributed to the lives of all of us. In appreciation the Class of ‘74 dedicates the Palladium to him. 6

“All the world over, people have to be free,” is basic to our American philosophy of living. Freedom of action and Freedom of thought carry with it a burden of obligation. Although through birthright you, as a citizen, have many rights and privileges guaranteed, the maintenance of these same rights and privileges becomes an individual effort. So as not to encourage a state of complete freedom where each citizen is free to do to another as he pleases, our system has been designed to include a burden of obligation under which each citizen is placed. You will now proceed to another of the many stages in your lifetime. 1 suggest you take time out to examine and know yourself as well as what immediately stands before you. This is not an easy task because it requires that you become critical. Success as a critic is dependent upon the degree to which you can apply knowledge and judgement to matters before you. 1 believe we are entering an age of uncertainty. Keenness of mind and sensitivity to things that touch upon you, coupled with a compassion for another, are what I believe to be some of those things that help a person to “make it” in this world. So, let each become what he is capable of. Guard your rights and privileges by assuming your obligation. To do otherwise may result in their loss. Appreciate the value of experience and knowledge. Listen to the experiences of others and be critical. Peter T. Sweet To The Class of 1974: It is a pleasure for me, through the use of your yearbook, to offer my congratulations to you upon your graduation from high school. I am sure that most of you look upon your graduation as the open door through which you pass to a new and exciting period in your life.

Mr. Kinsella, who devotes more of his time to the seniors than any other teacher, brightens his classes with his dynamic personality and sense of humor. He also takes extra time out to show interest in his stu- dents as individuals. With these qualities, Mr. Kin- sella deserves more than recognition. We give him a hearty thanks. Mr. Ellstrom. creative, talented, and helpful. He gave us our first bittersweet look at the outside world, moved us to our first look at literature as something to enjoy and not to be analyzed for a mark. We the members of the senior class salute him, a real person. Mr. Brewer demonstrates his fantastic way of com- municating with students by showing understanding and openness as he contributes a generous amount of time to school activities, especially dramatics. For this we feel he merits our sincere thanks. Mr. Kirsh. a fearless and a staunch friend to those with a need, is a person for whom much can be felt but not enough can be said. His classroom methods and his great coaching abilities set him apart as one of our favorite teachers. 7
