From the “leaves of brown that fell across our path on the September day school opened, to the “June moon that shone over our Commencement exercises—we have recorded, season by season, the events of the year 1943 44 at Parker High. We offer this log of our journey to our many readers who, we trust, will find that the treasures on its pages never dim as the seasons of their lives unfold and time marches on. The Saga Staff Three DEDICATION With wisdom, love, and unfailing good humor. Miss Carnahan has guided us patiently over the calm and stormy seas of our high school days. For her tireless efforts on our behalf, for her interest in our hopes, our ambitions, and our dreams, we owe her an eternal debt of gratitude. In order to show but a small token of our appreciation, we dedicate this, our 1944 Saga, to you, Miss Margaret E. Carnahan. Four This year we, the Senior Class of 1944, wish to pay special tribute to Mr. Myers, who for the past four years has been our principal. Since the beginning of his career at Parker High School, he has endeavored to raise our school spirit through numerous improvements about the school. His first year here was not one of action, but rather of observation. The next year found Mr. Myers a very busy man. First and foremost on his list of improve- ments was the change in the report card and honor roll systems. Report cards were issued every five weeks and an honor roll was made up with every issuance of the report cards. Our transportation facilities were improved, including the purchase of the station wagon. More money was appropriated for library books. Interest was aroused in our music department, our sports, and in a series of afternoon clubs. In connection with our sports activities, Mr. Myers promoted pep assemblies before our basketball and soccer games. The cheer- leaders were furnished with new outfits. The boys on our athletic teams were spurred to greater athletic ability by the presentation of trophies to the outstanding players. In connection with the war effort, Mr. Myers encouraged our scrap drives; he installed new pre-induction courses for the boys; and he introduced a series of educational movies which were shown in our weekly assemblies. Two of his outstanding achievements were the establishment of the kindergarten and art department in the school. As a class, we feel that it was through Mr. Myers that we established much of our social prestige. Therefore, we wish to take this opportunity to show him how deeply grateful we all are for his assistance throughout our high school career.

THE STUDENT COUNCIL President .................................Donald Schopf Vice President............................Leon Oberacker Secretary.....................................Janet Rafter Treasurer....................................Robert Payne This year the Student Council had one of the biggest jobs of many years on its hands. It was the aim of our organization to create an exceedingly superior kind of school spirit. With a goal to reach and plenty of help to achieve this goal, the Student Council has done its best to make Parker a better school. On the 17th of March, the council gave a Saint Patrick's Day dance which was a huge success. During basketball season, the council advertised every hasketball game in a move to increase the attendance, but due to the limited number of alumni left at home, the games were attended mostly by high school students, who showed much interest. The baseball attendance was the best in years, showing the increase in popularity of school activities. The Council also sponsored the weekly Stamp and Bond sales in the cafeteria and the hall monitors. It is the wish of the Council that next year, just as this year, Parker will be a first class school with a first class Council.

Cornish Summertime Vacation from school. No homework. Hot days. Locusts singing. Swimming in the creek. Swimming at the pit with all my friends. Swimming with the hot sun heating down on you. Swimming. Suntan and sunburn. (Painful, sometimes.) Summertime— Time to rest the brain and use the muscles. Making hay, reaping grain, drawing in wheat. Who will cut the grass? Working at home and getting very hot and bothered” over it. Canning time, washing on the line. Pulling weeds from the garden with sand in my shoes. Summertime— Nice weather, longer days, more time for en- joyment. Vacation trips. Camping. Fishing. Baseball. Badminton. Tennis. Crystal Beach. Summertime Summer comes after Spring. June, July, August. Third cycle of the year. Going to church on a sunny Sunday morning. Long afternoons in which to read and sleep in the hammock. Sitting on the front porch in the evening. Warm dark nights with crickets chirping. Summertime— Beautiful scenery. Greenness of world. Blue water standing very still. Blue water and white caps. The humming, peaceful sounds that fill the warm breeze. Birds, wild flowers found in the woods. Cumu- lus clouds. Skies afire sunrises and sunsets. Summertime— Thunderstorms. 1 like to see the rain fall, to watch it pour. Then I shudder when the thunder roars. If at night, I bury my head beneath my pillow and quilts. If during the day, I keep myself busy so as not to worry about the thunder. Thunderstorms. Rainbows after. Summertime What to wear? Few clothes. Girls in bright-colored playsuits. Boys with brush cuts. Sun glasses. Shorts. White trousers. Evening tux and long dresses. An up hair-do. Summertime— Ice cold lemonade. Iced tea. Ice cream sodas. Fresh strawberry shortcake, orchards of apples, pears. Marshmallows and wiener roasts in the neigh- bor's cornfield. I wonder if the cherries arc ripe on the tree down the lane? Pepsi-Cola. Summertime— Summer makes me just glad to be alive. Vacation from schtxil and little to do but relax and take it easy. My brother's birthday. A party in the front yard. Long talks with Mommie when no one but her is around to hear what I say. I'm home when the mail comes. Summertime— Gershwin's song. Convertible windows wide open. Nights in the park. Time for weddings. Happiness. Love. Fourth of July. Picnics. Firecrackers. Going to Silver Lake with our Epworth League and the fellowship we enjoy there. Summer—best time of year!

Shots, screams, and insane laughter were heard throughout the play. While in New York, Don became engaged to Gertrude Finch. Gertrude and her Mother, Mrs. T. Ashington Finch, came looking for Don. They discovered him in the arms of one of the presumed inmates, Lucille, who really was not insane at all. The play ends with Don engaged to Lucille.

Thirty'five SPORTS Frank Cerato “OUR COACH” “Our Coach, to the hoys who have played under his guidance, represents more than just a coach. The fellows enjoy working and co-operating with him. Those who attended our games have been impressed by the high morale and sportsmanship displayed by the teams. He has put the fighting spirit, in our athletes. They realize that here is a man who knows what he is talking about. Born at Dunmore, Pa., his life, to a great extent, has been devoted to sports, either as a coach or as an active participant. Coming to us from near-by Akron High, he served six years there as assistant coach in all sports. Local fans know that Akron has always made a good showing in athletic contests. Some of the older people will remember Frank Cerato, for in his high school days at Akron, he engaged with P. H. S. teams. His chief experience in handling boys was gained at the N. Y. State Institution for Juvenile Delinquents at West Coxsackie, N. Y. While there, he was head Physical Director. The Senior Class wishes to pay this tribute to Mr. Cerato because we feel that you, the people who support the school, would enjoy knowing something of the man who was chosen to guide the young men of this school into better Americans. Speak- ing for the boys, we feel that he was a very wise choice indeed. Thirty-eight BASKETBALL Standing: l ft to right: R. Davis, W. Roth, M. Metz, W. Gebhardt, T. Vozga, D. Dfctrling ((’apt.), V. Sehutt, G. Parron, D. Schopf, F. Lamb. Seated left to right: !. Dong (Mgr), Coach (’erato. D. Verzola (Mgr.) A. Hughes (Mgr). This year, under the very fine and able guidance of Parker High's new coach, the basketball team was able to complete the year with one of the best records of recent years. Coach Cerato molded together a starting five who had something which previous teams lacked—F-I-G-H-T. Those of the first five give a vote of thanks to those on the squad who were really in there pitching at all times, making the varsity really work to hold their varsity berths. The following is a list of games and the results. Won 7 Lost 6 Dec. 3 P. H. S.—18 Sloan 34 ♦Dec. 10 P. H. S, 27 Gardenvillc 44 ♦Jan. 7 P. H. S.—47 Ebenezer 30 Jan. 14 P. H. S.—33 Alden 17 ♦Jan. 21 P.

S. team was shown at its best in the Blasdcll and Wood lawn games. Although we lost the Blasdell game, we made a good showing against an undefeated team. The last game of the season was as exciting as any ever played. The thanks for winning this one goes to our Left Guard, Gordie Farron, who threw in 23 points. His unerring aim saved the game for Parker and in the over-time skirmish, Parker sewed it up with a one point victory over a fighting foe. High scoring honors for the season go to Left Forward, “Wes Gebhardt who amassed a total of 137 points. Follow up honors go to Right Forward, Don Schopf: 98 points. Thus close the pages of a successful year for the Red and Black of Parker High School. Thirty-nine BASEBALL First row—R. Davis, U. Larkin, H. Kraft, W. Roth, A. Wendler, W. G« bhardt, V. Smith. W.

This year the Parker High School Baseball team started its season on home ground playing Alden High on May 2. Walter Smith pitched our team's first victory of the season. Leading all the time, Parker was never in trouble. The score, 7-0. We next invaded Williamsville for our first Northern Eric County League base- ball game. We were unable, however, to triumph in this contest. The score, 8-2. May 9, we played Alden and after a thrilling game in which Alden led Parker by a score of 5-0, our team rallied in the fifth to bring another victory to Parker by scoring 12 runs in that inning.
