Its past, its present and its future are all a part of our lives. DEDICATIO ORTO HE friendliness, the pro gressiveness, the oppor- tunities Our Town has given us in community spirit, in the educational field are all a portrayal of its advancement. To you, Cuba, our humble thanks. H1 Toni 0F C BA UBA is a Roman word meaning Goddess of the Young, but it is unknown how this town acquired that name. Cuba, before 1822, was a part of Friendship, but the people of this area soon began to feel their importance and protested against going so far to attend town meet- ings and perform official duties. Accordingly a movement was started which resulted in the division of the town of Friendship and the organization of the town of Cuba in 1822. In conformity with the provisions of the act creating the new town, the first town meeting was held on Tuesday March 5, 1822, in the Griffin Log Tavern. Four justices of the peace, Calvin T. Chamberlain, Samuel H. Morgan, Iohn Griffin, and Stephen Cady, were appointed by the Governor to preside over the meeting. C. T. Chamberlain was elected Town Supervisor and Ira Tracy, another important personage of that time, was elected Town Clerk. In 1824 a post office was established and john Griffin was appointed first postmaster. Many pioneers, possibly headed farther west, settled in Cuba because of the natural resources and geographical layout of the country. The streams, valleys, hills, and the abundance of timber pointed unmistakably to one industry, lumbering. Calvin T. Chamberlain had for five years been running a sawmill, and Stephen Cady and Jacob Baldwin had erected a sawmill and gristmill. The area surrounding the mill was called Cadytown but is now known as North Cuba. With the water for power and transportation and the timber, the lumber industry seemed to be a very promising one. The turnpike ran through Main Street, and Cuba was on a large tributary of the Allegheny River. There were twenty-two sawmills erected in Cuba at different times. The lumber was shipped out and used in the building of boats. There were many minor industries here, many being owned by Stephen Smith, the leading industrialist of Cuba. He operated a sawmill, a grist mill, a general store, a carding machine, a blacksmith shop, a tannery, an ashery, and a lime kiln and brick yard. The first actual shops were owned by Vincent Clemt and Israel Housel. The women contributed to industry with the spinning of flax and wool. In 1834 about 9,000 yards of cloth were manufactured. With the clearing of the land it was found that the raising of cattle was profitable. The hides could be used in the tanneries and the milk could be made into butter and cheese. This brought about the erection of cheese factories, the first form of cooperatives in this country. Cheese factories made cold storage plants necessary. The first one was built by Ackerly and Sill. Tavern keeping was another early and important business in Cuba. There were at one time five inns in the village. More recent industries were the Cutter and Barnes wagon and sleigh factory and the galvanized ware factory. The newest and largest industry is the Acme Electrical Plant which was erected about the year 1937. This plant has retained Cuba's reputation as an industrial town. By the census of 1835 the Town of Cuba had a population of 1476. In 1910 it was 2430. The village population itself was 1566. The population of the village at the present time is about 2600. On October 29, 1838, Isaac. Sheldon began the publication of the Cuba Advocate, the first paper published in town. During this period great emphasis was placed upon the building of new roads. The first paved road was opened for general traffic in November, 1910. It covered part of Genesee Street and ran from the Pennsylvania Railroad to the village line. The year 1840 was one of great political excitement for the campaign of Tippecanoe and Tyler too was on. The occasion brought the greatest gathering Cuba had ever seen to an open air meeting in what is now Spring Street. The speaking was done from a large pine stump. Martin Grover, then known as the Ragged Lawyervand later Judge of the Supreme Court and Court of Appeals, is said to have been one of the speakers. 6 The year 1850 brought a new change. Cuba Village was incorporated, the territory cover- ing 769.68 acres. The year 1950 will celebrate this incorporation with a Centennial Celebra- tion which will take place in july. In Iuly of that same year, 1850, a riot which assumed serious proportions broke out between two factions of Irish laborers on the Erie Railroad. The auth- orities-had to take a hand in suppressing it. A cannon was placed at the Four Corners so as to command the whole village. It was loaded and manned, ready for instant use. The cannon inspired terror to an extent that the tumult was suppressed without necessity of a discharge. It remained for some time on the open space and was finally stolen' away and never seen again. Also during this year the railway car made its first appearance in Cuba. May, 1851, saw the last spike being driven in the western division of the Erie Railroad. The 14th of May was a great day for Cuba. The first through passenger train on the Erie reached the .depot about 9:30 A. M. The train brought the first visit of a president of the United States, President Fillmore. The great Daniel Webster accompanied him. The two men were greeted with joyous cheers, waving of handkerchiefs, and tossing of hats. On April 15, 1861, President Lincoln issued a proclamation in which he called for seventy- five thousand volunteers to suppress a rebellion in the southern states. In forty-eight hours, a company was organized in Cuba, captained by M.M. Loydon. By 1863 the Civil War was in full progress. There were war meetings galore and many enlistments. The property of the town was taxed to raise money to pay volunteers. It seems only fitting that this manuscript should end with a history of the schools of Cuba. The first recorded school was built on Maple Street in the 1830' s. By 1870 it was decided that a larger school was needed, so a new brick building was erected. Salaries paid teachers during this period amounted to a high of two dollars a week. In 1910 a high school was built on the hilltop of Medbury Street. It was considered a great accomplishment. It was equipped with new furniture, laboratory apparatus, a library, five furnaces, a ventilating system, and was fireproof. In 1937 the school system was centralized. Eighteen districts outside the village of Cuba were included. This brought in so many more pupils that appropriations were made for a new building to be erected on the wasteland of Elm Street. School was continued in the old building and the various districts until 1939 when the new building was completed. This edifice is now considered to be one of the most beautiful and well-planned in this area. It is complete with auditorium, gymnasium, library, homemaking rooms, health room, cafeteria, playground, and football field. The enrollment at the present date, 1950, is about eight hundred. There are now 40 teachers included in the system. During 1948-49 a new driving course was introduce and in 1949-50 a new program of guidance was added. Both have been of great value to the students and very well received by all. Conclusively, Cuba Central School is one of the best examples of a well-organized and efficient school system that can be found anywhere. With this ends a brief but complete resume of the town of Cuba from its beginning to present d times: its people, its industries, and its schools. Let this be a tribute to the town and its future. ,ff 'i,+ ,Z-727,22-ff-s,, ,, ,-- .-.3--.., 7 ' 'f'wv:'1 .. .

COLBURN PRI CIPAL QCIHROUGHOUT this past century there have been many changes in the character and extent of public education for the youth of the Cuba area. So, too, has the responsibility of the school as an institution changed throughout these years. A century ago the benefits of public educa- tion were enjoyed largely by those who were training for the professions of law, medicine, and the ministry. Gradually with the progress of democracy in our country the need for an educated citizenry was realized. And now in 1950 there is the opportunity of a high school education for every boy and girl. We congratulate the people of the Cuba area for their interest in the needs of education, and, because of that interest, for making possible the school which we have. We look to the future with the sincere hope and trust that your school will be able to carry well those responsibilities which it may have so that you will feel that your school makes its proper and necessary contribution to the life of this community.

Stellrecht L. Dodson, L. Walker G IDA CE S students, you have been preparing to take your place as intelligent citizens in the community. You have been learning something of the world today. You have also learned something of the past that you may better understand today's problems, why these problems exist, and what must be done to solve them. The guidance program has been organized in an attempt to make your education more meaningful and of great- er help to you. Educational and vocational guidance merge in their concept of seeking to have each individual become familiar with a wide range of information about himself -- his interests, aptitudes, abilities, previous development in the various areas of living, and his plans and ambitions for the future. Guidance seeks to help the student to become acquainted with the various problems of social, vocational, and recreational adjustment which he faces. Guidance works on the premise that the more an individual knows about himself, the more in- telligently he makes decisions and adjustments necessary in later life. While the guidance counselor may ren- der assistance, the decisions must come from the individual. The guidance program in our school is new this year. It takes considerable time to develop an extensive program and to get it working properly. It also takes a long time before one can fairly evaluate its results. During the present year work has begun on the projects listed below. 1. Each student in grades 8-12 has had at least one interview with the guidance counselor. In that interview his educational and vocational plans were discussed andhis program of studies was planned to prepare him for his objectives. 2. Juniors and seniors were given interest and aptitude tests to help them in analyzing their individual inter- ests and abilities so that they may be better able to select educational and vocational goals intelligently. 3. In grade 8 an orientation program was established for the purpose of acquainting the members with the opportunities offered in high school. Through study, tests, talks, and conferences these youngsters have had an opportunity to learn more about themselves, the school, and the world of work. An attempt was made to have them select an area of educational and occupational interest, and their four-year high school program was then constructed with this goal in mind. 4. In grade 9 pupils make a study of the occupational field in social studies class. From this study they learn of the different areas of vocational employment and something of the many occupations and opportunities with which they are unfamiliar. 5. At the 10th grade level, guidance units have been included in the English program. One unit calls for a rather extensive study of vocations. It is hoped that this study will enable the students to select a vocation with greater wisdom and that future school work can be directed toward the preparation for this objective. Other units deal with personality problems and other problems of adjustment that are of such importance in the lives of boys and girls of this age. 6. Senior English has included units of study concerning problems of after-school living. Some units are for the purpose of acquainting students with ways of obtaining a job, how to succeed in it, and how to progress. Other units deal with problems of money, marriage, and the goals by which success is reckoned. 7. The librarian and the counselor have collaborated in the organization of files of occupational information. Additional information is being added to these files each month. 8. Our school has cooperated in a county-wide Educational Conference and helped to make it a distinct suc- cess. 9. A study of the classes of 1946, 1947, 1948, and 1949 was made through questionnaires for the purpose of determining how successful the school has been in pre- paring these people for the life they are now living and to determine what recommendations they might make whereby the school might more adequately serve suc- ceeding classes. 10. Numerous conferences were held with parents concerning students and their parents. 1 11. A great effort was made to place seniors in the area of their desires. As of February 1, 1950, the following Seniors have expressed their intention of going to college: Abbott, Congdon, Fanton, Kline, Kornetzke, Rasmussen, J. Scott, M. H. Scott, and Whipple, to business school: Blank, Botens, Bump, McCaa, Roat, Swift, to technical school: Brown and Warren, to a school of practical nurs- ing: Blackg to work: Manning, Milne, Poore, Preston, Stout, and Sweet, no decision as yet: Haring and Supanik. As you again read this in 1960, it is hoped that each and every one of you will have achieved the goals set ten years before. 14 MR. CHILDS I.

It was really a change for us in regard to both teachers and subjects. Our social life was rather inactive except for two short plays which we produced, both of which began with a serious plot, but because of our lack of acting ability ended as comedy. Our number was diminished to twenty-nine as we entered our Sophomore year. Some from our class were chosen as cheerleaders, others played on the Junior Varsity. On the whole, this was our least eventful year. In january, 1949, we came into power when the Iunior Class took over in their money-making operations. We began immediately by' selling refreshments at basket- ball games and candy between CPD classes. We gave a dinner for the Kiwanis Club, and this started our bank account. In March we sold Everyday Cards and wrapping paper. In that same month we showed our improvement in acting when we produced CRAZY BUT CUTE. Everyone had loads of fun, and we could hardly wait until our Senior Play. Our greatest achievement of the year came in the form of the Junior-Senior Banquet and the following evening, the Maypole Prom. The theme was carried out to perfection. Both the place-cards at the banquet and the false ceiling of the gym were in the form of maypoles. Phil Brown, Sandra Whipple, and Mary Helen Scott amused the guests at the banquet with the readings of the Class Will and Class Prophecy. We took our bow that year when at Graduation in June we held floral arches for the Senior. Finally, at last, decidedly, and conclusively we were Seniors. Our first step was to choose class officers to lead us through these hectic months. 'We began our activities with a class picnic at Letchworth Park. You will see some of the pictures we took-there. The continued selling of candy and refreshments brought an unceasing flow of coins into our account. ln October we carried out a very successful business venture when we sold Christmas cards and wrappings. In November we started to work on the Yearbook, but we had to abandon that for the time being to concentrate on the Senior Play, LOVE IS TOO MUCH TROUBLE. Unusually enough, this was: even more successful than our Junior Play. ln December we sponsored the tra- ditional Christmas Ball with Candyland as the theme. Then in January came the end of our money-making functions and we had a chance really to concentrate on the publishing of the Gargoyle. However, our greatest social activity was yet to come: Our great expectation , our Washington trip. At the beginning of Easter Vacation, twenty-seven breathless: youths tumbled into the bus which was pointed toward our destination. The trip wasx all that we had anticipated, and we came back feeling that we had at last faced life. In May the Juniors gave us a most delightful banquet. An then the climax of twelve years! Commencement, the ambition and completed goal of twenty-seven trembling, nervous graduates! And so concludes our high school history as we say P goodby to our childhood memories and activities and hello to the world of tomorrow, our tomorrow. Y 5 I 7-2 2 .

This Gargoyle we hope will be an album of memories -- mem- ories of Cuba as it was in years past, memories of our school life of today. In this book, which appears in Cuba's Centennial year, we have tried to portray Cuba as it was and as it is. Thanks to the Board of Education, we have eight more pages which we hope to use in im- proving the book. A new system was started this year, that of putting a Junior on the staff as assistant editor so that next year we will have an editor with experience. This year, as every other year, the yearbook staff has been guided by its ever -faithful advisor, Mr. Knowles. . 36 CARLET GRY CUBA CENTRAL SCHOOL, NOVEMBER 24, 1949 Q-1---------T X Y Teachers' Favorite Juniors Start Why I Think the WT Juni0r.R-ni Cross Irish Songs Play Practice Out-of-Doors 0.

HE Cuba Central School choir began in the fall with such a large enrollment that it was necessary to form two choirs. Thus all Seniors and Juniors are in the advanced group, the choir of last year, namely, the Senior Choir. There are, in all, fifty mixed voices blend- ing beautifully together, making a well-balanced choir. This is the group that last spring re- ceived a one rating at the state festival in Hornell. According to the words of the adjudica- tors, Dr. Swift and Dr. Saetveit, a fine appearing organization, ensemble effect is very good, shadings are musical, good accompanist, group shows careful training, fine quality, good dynamics, fine blend of voices. You have every reason to be proud of the splendid work you are doing. They really proved that C. C. S. possesses much musical talent and are continu ing to do so. The newly-formed Junior Choir is composed of over thirty Freshmen and Sophomore girls doing part work and singing in a choir for the first time. They are very enthusiastic and show many fruitful possibilities. Besides the two choirs in the vocal department there are the quartet and sextette. The quar- tet, newly-formed this year, is composed of four talented and musical people who enjoy singing. They are Mary Lou Blank, Sally Fanton, Jarvis Finnemore, and Douglas Abbott. Each of these people are soloists themselves and thus their work together is truly good music. The sextette which has been known in school for several years has proved itself active and worthwhile. The group is composed of six girls, Catherine Congdon, Mary Helen Scott, Mary Lou Blank, Joan McCaa, Patricia Warren, and Jacqueline Scott. During the year the vocal groups have participated in the Christmas Concert with the sixty- member grade choir adding a great share to the performance, the Spring Concert with Jewel Kornetzke a talented young singer, acting as soloist, the Genesee Country Music Festival, the New York State Sectional Music Festival, and Baccalaureate services. In addition to this, sev- eral of the groups have participated in town functions such as the Minstrel Show put on by the American Legion, entertainment for the Kiwanis Club, and churches in town. 40 HE Cuba Central School Band was organized in September with a membership of thirty- eight players. The instrumentation was quite well-balanced except for the reed section which was augmented later in the year by the addition of clarinet players from those receiving instrumental instruction. Due to the fact that only one senior will leave by graduation, the future of the band looks encouraging. During the year, the band met for two rehearsals each week, and approximately seventy stu- dents Were given class instrumental lessons every week. At the beginning of the year, the band enjoyed playing many fine marches. About mid-year we started our festival music. State festival rules require bands to prepare five selections. These might be overtures, concert marches, processionals, or other types of program music. ' Some of the activities in which the band has participated during the year include: the Parent- Teachers Christmas Concert, the amiual Spring Concert, the Genesee Country Interscholastic Music Festival which was held at Bolivar on May 5-6, the New York State Sectional Music Festival held at the Hornell High School, the Cuba American Legion Memorial Day Service, and our High School Commencement program at the close of the school year. The Music Department of Cuba Central School is divided into two divisions--the Vocal Section under the direction of Miss Rita Nowak and the Instrumental Section handled by Mr. Kenneth Ingram.

They opened the season with a loss to a good Geneseo team, 38-O. The next week they tied Allegany, 6-6. In the Canisteo game. they were in good shape and won 21-7. At Franklinville they won, 13-0, but should have done much better. At Portville the team played a very good game and, even though they lost, 13-O, the team deserved a much better fate as breaks accounted for both Portville touchdowns. Cuba went into the Bolivar game without the services of Smith and Abbott at end and Edwards in the backfield. Burlingame was lost in the first quarter, and the second team played most of the second half, the team losing, 45-13. In the last game of the season at Wellsville, Cuba played without six regulars but put up a good battle, even though they lost, 36-13. UBA won the Sportsmanship Award in the Allegany-Cattaraugus Football League. In the All-Star selections for the league Don Burlingame was placed on the first team, Paul Taylor, Doug Abbott, and Sonny Resch on the second team, and Harley Poore received honorable mention. 49 3 BA KETQX BALL Row 1: lr.

Two le e opponents, Wells- ville 136-352 and Alfred-Almond 147-462, and the team from Angelica C38-3?7iuwere victorious by one point over the locals. In a thrilling glame at Richburg we lost a two-point decision, 52-50. All four games might have gone our way ad the boys been on at the foul lineg however, this seemed to be one of the weak points of this year's team. In another close game against Friend- ship we turned the tables and emerged victorious by a narrow two-point margin, 4-42. In other ames this season the local hoopmen went down to defeat at the hands of Hinsdale C49 32 and 58-365, Bolivar Q43-232, Angelica Q47-402, Friendship 128-232, and Chester High School - Q64-322. This last team played in Cuba for the first time this year, and the members of the team stayed overnight with various Cuba players. We hope to play host to them again. Franklinville and Fillmore dropped a game each to C. C. S. , 61-31 and 40-25, respectively. Injuries to Ted Koviako, Cuba's leading scorer, hurt our chances in the Richburg and Hins- dale games. Ted hit for 26 points against Richburg. His total would probably have been higher had not a twisted ankle prevented him from playing the full game. Paul Taylor, Bill Brown, Loren Stout, Kip Karn, Ben Smith, and Harley Poore will be lost to next year's team for various reasons. Returning will be Ted Koviako, Bob Stillman, Jack Nease, Vint Polvino, Kaye Henning, and Sonny Resch. JUNIOR VARSITY BHS so CHEERLEADER VARSITY S. Fanton, B. Iannlng. S. Preston, D. Bernard, M.
