,4 ,A. 11434 u --'- -' jg!-!'AZcfZ7E4v MM f Clam of IQ pfwwdi La Lives of great men all remind us We can make our lives sublime, And departing, leave behind us Footprints on the sands of time. - Longfellow THESE lines from Longfellow's APSALM OF LIFE suggested the theme for the 1955 SAGA. What roads will we choose to follow? After graduation, many untrod paths will lie open for usg many decisions will be made. Even though our footsteps lead us far from our Alma Mater, we shall always remember the valuable lessons which we have learned here . Our artists have portrayed through photogra- phy sometimes humorously, sometimes seri- ously, various aspects of those two well-used objects--our feet. As seniors, we have become greatly aware of the fact that upon graduation we must assume our -privileges and responsibilities as young adults- -and stand on our ovm two feet . This has been our ultimate goal during our past four years at Clarence Central High School . 2 WE, the class of 1955, dedicate the SAGA to our parents and teachersg . who have helped guide our footsteps in the right direction. The challenges we have encountered during ourhigh school days have been metwith the con- fidence of youth and the support of our advisors . They have developed in us a sense of pride in our accomplishments and have helped in molding our characters for the future . As citizens of tomorrow we shall always be grateful to the ones who have helped us gain a better understanding of the world around us . 3 Moifm InM ' ONE whose footsteps will echo throughout the halls of Clarence Central School for many years is john Groff Pfennigg yet, he was as quiet in his ways as he was de- termined in his work. Respected for his loyalty and integrity, John won himself friends everywhere . The story we see in his footsteps is one of devotion to his family and to his friends . The class of 1955 has missed John since his untimely death in january, 1953 . Thus it is fitting, at a time so precious to our memo- ries as graduation, that we turn our thoughts toward one who might have been among us . 5 ,pw jg,e'ms' V H, :mv -,sm 3 :W . iii We are well aware that our school administrators and teachers are far too busy during the day to as- sume the relaxing pose which is here depicted. It is rather through their tireless efforts and time spent on their feet that the student-body has been able to make progress toward their individual goals. WITH always a cheery smile or comment, Dr. Stanley has made us feel at home since our first days at school . His awareness of the ever-changing education- al needs of the community to- gether with his foresight and planning have provided us with comfortable and pleasant school surroundings . ANYONE with a problem or the smallest question knows that Mr. Repp, our guidance coun- sellor, can find time in his busy schedule to give advice . He has helped us solve scholastic prob- lems as well as personal difficul- ties and has assisted us in mak- ing plans for the future . AS principal of our school, Dr . l Small has devoted much time and effort on our behalf. Not only have we been inspired -by his encouragement, but we have made achievement through his assistance and counsel. Left to Right: Stephen Preg, Paul Neff, John Matti- son, Edward Brown, Millard Brown, Verne Simril, Alvin Meahl. WE wish to thank our Board of Education for the many long hours which they have spent inplanning for ourwelfare. Through their efforts, the Clarence Central School System has become one of the most out- 8 standing in the State. EACH year we come to realize more and more that Mrs. Larkin fills an invaluable spot in the office We see not only in bus- iness matters but also with the fmancial problems that come up as a class works to increase its treasury that it takes someone like Mrs Larkin to help out. g 0FficeS'fa:FF AS business manager and clerk of our entire school district, Mr. Kinney has not only spent long hours in determining and filling our school needs, but has shown great capabilities in the financial administration department . SPF MRS. Holmwood, completing her first year here as secretary for Mr. Repp, is filling a new and important place in the guidance office. Miss Gebauer, Mr. Small's secretary, is always willing to offer us her assistance 9 TWO more new additions to our office staff this year are Mrs. johnson at the switchboard, and Mrs. Tilly, Mr. Kinney's secre- tary . Their willingness to lend a hand has made the office a hub of much activity.

We can certainly thank Mrs. Wood, our school dietitian, for all those wonderful meals through- out the year and especially those extra treats. Always willing to help anyone or to locate any lost apparatus, Mr. Vasbinder, our chief custodian, performs many services in and around the school building. We realize that the cafeteria staff has had to put up with a lot of our odd likes and dislikes, but we'll always remember their fine friend liness and co-operation. Thanks to this group of custodians, we have a clean and shining school of which we are proud. I 12 Doctor Fisher, our school doctor, has put in many hours attending to the health and well- being of all the students. M I-I With Miss McDonald, our school nurse, to comfort us in our many aches and pains and Mrs. Cameron, dental hy- genlst, to check up on our cavities, how could we help but have a healthy school? One of the many public h health services to our school is the Chest X - Ray Unit provided by the Buffalo and Erie County Tuberculosis Association. Here, the seniors are receiving their annual check-up. 18 miem After graduation, our feet will travel down many different roads. It is important that our steps be firm, unwavering and sureg that we gear our pace to our own strides. Only then will we some day be proud to have others follow in our footsteps Seated: Donna Haggard, Aimee Acklen. Standing: David Williams, Jc?huler. WHEN our feet first shuffled down the halls of C.C.S. this fall, we were a bit awed . At last we were seniors! Imust didn't seem possible . Under the capable leader- s p of John Schuler, our class meetings were well or- 5-iagiized. Even such leamed expressions as Let's lay t motion on the table, and I move the previous question were audible . We all appreciated the efforts of Dave Williams, our Vice President . He made arrangements for many of our dances and assistedgohn in carrying on class business . Donna Haggard, the ecretary, was always busy with the various class activities and with writilitg the minutes of our class meetings . Aimee Acklen h the most exact- ing job of all, --- accounting for all the money which poured into our treasury . We seemed to workwell together as aclass, and had a wonderful time planning our trip to New York . Much of our success was due to the initiative of the class as a whole, and to the excellent guidance whichwe received from our class advisors: Miss Oliver, Mr. Lynch and Mr Stillwell . Without the help and encouragement of our class advisors, we could never have accomp ished what we did 16 Aimee Amelie Acklen A bit of sweetness mixed with Southern Charm.

We review some of them here . How proud we were to display our maroon and white colors, when as seventh graders we won the field meet. Our Senior year has been the busiest year of all . Among our activities was the magazine sale which resulted in 54700 worth of ma azines bein sold . We also look back u on the man hours 8 S P Y spent on the yearbook, and of course, the paper drives--a good ex- cuse to turn hard work into lots of fun . OUT for a bigger and better book in '55, our SAGA staff, headed by Editor, Mar- gie Riegle and Assistant Editor, Jean Booker, spent many long hours trying to compile a new and different arrangement of our high school memories . More than once did the five o'clock light burn in Miss Ulrich's room, and had it not been for those Sunday afternoon sessions, many witty ideas would have been omitted. We believe that without Miss Ulrich' s help and the co-operation of the entire senior class, our SAGA would not have materialized . Photography Staff - Left: I. Zim- Literary Staff - Seated: M.

Chosen on the basis of scholarship, school service, character, and leader- ship, this group tries to promote high ideals and standards through- out the school and community . Each spring new members who best exemplifly the aforementioned qualities are selected from the junior class . hese students are tapped at the fonnal initiation ceremony. This year members of the National Honor Society have attended initiation ceremonies in other high schools . The Clarence Chapter has made plans to meet with the various chapters of the National Honor Society in the area to discuss the iplurposes of the organization, and what they can ac- complish in sc ool life.

Marg, in one of her better moments Gone but not forgotten can nam, SOMEWHERE along the path to the future, we must stop and retrace our footsteps--- for memory's sake. Since the class of '55 is the first to have completed four years of high school in the new building, we feel that most of our history has been made within its halls. We still remember though, our experiences in the annexes inseventh grade, our triumph over the entire school on Field Day, our eighth grade pencil sales, trips to Fort Niagara and the first exposure to Core. As Freshmen, we began to get our money-making campaign under way. Un- der the executive leadership of Alan Cook, full advantage was taken of the new facili- ties of the school, such as the pool, gym and auditorium. We got rosin in our eyes from our skating patty and spent a glorious evening under the sea at the Frosh Frolic. We also began to notice athletic potentiali- ties as the fellows made their debut in the local world of sports. Our class treasury really began to grow as we took the title of Sophomores. We em- barked upon the Christmas card business early in the year. This year under the lead- ership of president Roger Everingham, we produced such successes as a reverse square dance and turned the Parker gym into a French cafe for the Soph Hop. Some of the fellows were on the undefeated J. V. football team, and we soon realized that our class had many athletes. Toward the end of the year, some of the girls participated in the first performance of the water show, and then we were confronted with our first re- gents exams. The dawn of our junior year made us feel the importance and prestige of being upperclassmen. A glorious evening of autumn enchantment was presided over by their majesties, QueenMaryAnnSpur- beck and King John Schuler. This event, our junior Prom, was a magnificent success. Our play, JANUARY THAW, had Uncle jonathan Van Kuren growing real -live pigs and Alan Cook playing hero to Don- nie Choate. Together with the rest ofthe 4Q cast, the play proved to be a laughable and profitable venture. Toward the end of this year, many of our classmates were givenvarious honors. jackie Smith, Diane Howe, 1ohnSchuler, and Roger Everingham represented our school at the Syracuse Cit- izenship Conference along with four seniors. Kathy Mack, Mickey Stern, Alan Cook, John Frank and Diane Howe were members of a model U. N. atBuffa1o. Pete Rhodes and Liz Allan represented our school at Em- pire Boys' and Girls' State. Suddenly, our biggest and last year was upon us. With John Schuler as our re -elect- ed president, we forged ahead immediately, because with our class size and goals, a large treasury was imperative. We thought other years had been busy, but this year topped them all. Our senior play, THE SKIN OF OUR TEETH, directed by Mrs. Neyerlin, and our magazine sale both were tremendous successes. Our magazine sale broke the record in gross and net profit, with the prize for top sales- man going to Mike Stern. In the world of sports, seven of our men obtained gold footballs for an undefeated season, while our basketball players did nearly as well. Our Christmas dance, a memorable evening in Winter Wonderland, was a profitable experiment and it provided en- joyment for all who attended. After mid- year exams, we returned to the thought of making more money to finance our class trip to New York City. When the great occasion had come and gone, we knew that our great expectations had been ful- filled. Now, as we come to the long awaited time of graduation,the fact that we shall soonbe drifting apart comes to ourminds, and we know thatwe shall miss this school and all our friends. As we go forth to make new footprints on the sands of time, we look forward to a bright future which has been preceeded by many happy moments. SINCE the class of '55 is leaving C.C.S. forever, it is only fitting and proper for each member to state what he is leaving behind, and for whom .
