Since we have done away with the idea of dividing a yearbook up into specific sections, a table of contents here would perhaps neces- sarily read more like an index. So instead of that here is a brief idea of how the book is arranged. Even without sectionalization certain sub- jects must naturally come together. Hence, to the casual reader it may seem that everything is grouped under certain headings. This is not the caseg rather, each thing is placed in the book where it most naturally falls. One effect of this method is to do away with the album which portrays each Senior. In lieu of this, each one appears with the activity for which he was most noted. As for the rest of the book, it can only be said thatoit contains as much information as could be included about the school year '50-51. O Bishop Scalfe President of the Board of Trustees Rt Rev Lauriston L Scaife was first elected to head the Board in 1948 Since that t1me he has ably carried out his duties and done much to advance the interests of the school The rest of the Board has also done quite a fine Job this past year Serving on the Building and Domain Committee were Mr John J Blngenheimer and Groves The Rev J Jav Post and Mr Egbert D Corson while the Finance Committee was made up of Mr John Walker Mr Maxwell S Wheeler and the Rt Rev CameronJ Davis Included in the picture on the 0ppOS1te page IS a man who generously gave of his time and effort the late Canon Philip Mosher It was with the deepest regret and humilitv that we attended his funeral this past spring 6 O O George A.

Prospective Actors The Dramatics Club, this having been the first year of its existence, spent a great deal of its time in getting organized and deciding on worthwhile activities. During the year the club learned the art of applying make-up from Mr. Werner, its advisor, and then practiced it, each of its members consenting to be the guinea-pigs for the experiment. They also read several plays which were under consideration for theatre night, and attended several Niagara Falls Little Theatre productions. In the Fall of 1950, the Dramatics Club sponsored an Amateur Night. The members could not compete for prizes, but some of them performed for the benefit of the school and its guests. This performance was followed by a dance, which was also sponsored by the club. On the whole, the club promoted interest in dramatics in the school, and, since this was one of its prime purposes it was very successful 29 Two Years of Llttle Theatre The plctures above and on the opposlte page cover two years of Llttle Theater act1v1ty On Frlday Aprll 28 1950 the scene above occurred It 1S a b1t of actlon from the thxrd play presented on that evemng Dress Reversal The other two plays were Smokey Rldes Agam a western drama and Kmght Llfe a mystery drama presented by the Lower School The people who took on the Job of d1I'eCt1Ilg these plays were M1ss Jud1th Howard Mr Ssaymond Meland and the1r asslstants Messrs Ravmond Hemze and Stanley erner On the opposxte page are two scenes from one play Them Actors from Tater V1ne It had been decrded that one bxg play would be better than two or three plays presented together so on Aprrl 21 1951 th1S gala muslcal was staged It was surprlsmg even to us how much mus1cal talent there was 1n the school M1ss Jud1th Howard and Mr Stanlev Werner also dlrected th1s play And of course we must mentlon that a CHFVRON dance was held each year after the plays 30 O ' 1 1 J ' ' ' ' ' U 77 , . cc ' ' 75 1 1 KS ' ' 71 , . , . 7 7 .

The pictures entered had to be taken, developed and printed by the member himself. The Photography Club helped its members become acquainted with various photographic techniques and improved their ability to take, develop, print and enlarge pictures. 33 Don Hubbard, Chief Rifleman Don Hlbbard was the b1ggest member of our class and also presldent of the blggest club 1n the school As such lt IS perhaps unf1tt1ng that h1s 1S the last art1cle to be wrltten for th1s volume but unfortunately lt seems that someone must have burned the or1g1nal Smce we cant remember what was 1n the or1g1nal art1cle let s turn to a few of the thlngs we remember about Don hlmself Flrst of all he was b1g ln more ways than just physlque He was presldent of our class for the second semester and was elected captaln of the basketball team We also remember h1m largely for the fact that h1s dad owned a gas statlon and a custard stand lAh that custardl Of course we also remember Don for qu1te a number of other thlngs but perhaps It would be better to leave them to the memory only qHmmm'J 34 0 0 0 - y . , . . . . , 7 - x s - 1 a Most Popular Club The largest club in the school this year was the Rifle Club, under the able leadership of Mr. Heaton. This organization was profitable and enjoyable for its members. It provided firing practice for more experienced members and taught the beginners how to handle a rifle correctly. In addition to the actual handling of rifles, the club members were given lectures and exhibitions of U. S. Army weapons by Mr. Heaton. These talks helped the club become familiar with the weapons with which our country is defended. The greatest benefit offered by the club was the knowledge of using a fire-arm safely and correctly. The instruction concerning fire-arms, their usage, and their care, en- couraged safetyg this fact alone was enough to make the club one of the most worthwhile organizations within the school.

One of these was the band, started for those who were interested in playing musical in- struments. Dr. D'Anna, a prominent music teacher, was hired to organize the band. The school also had to buy music, making the band a rather expensive club for the school to operate. For about half the year the band only practiced marches to get into the swing of things. At mid-year Dr. D'Anna left and Mr. Nichols, our new French teacher, took over the responsibility. Immediately the band started practicing popular pieces, enabling it to have enough selections to play for two informal dances and for the plays presented on Little Theater Night. By doing this, the band secured the confidence of the entire school. By the end of the year, the band had proved it could still play for dances even though it then con- sisted only of three members.

Due to circumstances beyond the control of the Class of '51, the 1951 CHEVRON has actually made its appearance. Much effort was put forth by the seniors to suppress its publication, but all to no avail. In completing this prodigious task, the frivolous members of the Class of '51 proved most of the people in the school wrong, mainly themselves and their ever pessimistic class advisor, Stanley A. Werner. By the beginning of May everyone had gotten the strange idea that the book might never appear, but the Senior Class knew by then that it was too late, nothing could stop the wheels of progress fShadrack, Mishack, and Joel. But let a typical Senior tell you about it: Even up to the first of May we were confident that our hard work and great effort would finally show in the end fi.e., after page 1003. We had no worries whatsoever. Our happy, carefree advisor had no worries either. His most favorite phrase was, 'Well, it's your yearbook, it's not my worry? So did he worry about it? Never. Did we worry about it? Never. Many of our evenings were spent in industrious labor-either having a peanut party flower rightl or dittling with Editor Schmitt's maze of elecf tronic devices. But even with these self-inflicted difficulties, we managed to come through. You might well say our famous last words were, 'Don't worry, sir- we'll do it! We did it. 58 Esquire and Peek are examples of what I want Informal, see! InformaI! Yep, thaf's right. But don'i crowd the page. A I ,E ..

Student Rotary Guests In the fall of the year four boys were picked by the faculty and Student Council to be Student Rotary Guests Most people seem to have no idea of Just what a Student Rotary Guest is or does and at that time neither did these boys. They soon found out that they were just what the title implied, guests of the Rotary Club. All that was expected of them was attendance at the Monday luncheons at the Niagara Hotel. One went each week so that it was always the same boy's turn on every fourth Monday. At these meetings they learned that the Rotary Club is a service club, that is, it is a group of professional men who have banded together for the sake of fraternity and service to the community. Each week, besides a good luncheon, there was a speaker or some other sort of entertainment. The only time during the whole year when the Stu- dent Guests had to work, was at the last meeting they attended in May. They had to provide the entertainment. Since there were sixteen other boys from four other local high schools, DeVeaux did -all right when Parkerson was ap- pointed President for that meeting and Grimm was Master of Ceremonies. Archerls job was to introduce the guest Rotarians from out of town, and naturally Schmitt's was to collect the money paid for fines. The only bad thing about the whole year was that it didn't last long enough. ez HEY.

Since the team was winless it showed greater determination and spirit than previous squads had exhibited. The boys accepted defeat in a sportsmanlike manner. The team consisted of inexperienced players due to the loss of its first string and most of the substitutes which were on the team last year. Only three seniors were on the squad and, of these, one was a letterman. The consistency of the team gave it undisputed possession of last place in the Niagara-Orleans League and a season record of eighteen straight losses.
