These young people, who a few years ago were just students attending Dundee Central, are now fighting against forces that are trying to destroy democracy. They were taught in school the meaning of Democracy but it d1dn't mean too much to them until some evil power tried to deprive them of lt. Nov they are in the fight against those forces of evil and are overwhelming them. Our hats are off to you, the former Dundee Central students who are doing such a magnificent Job of preserving democracy and all that it stands for. You are certainly doing your part to keep the Light of Liberty aflame. 2 Y A C Q Harold Allen Lauren Allen Paul Bassage Evelyn Baldwin Daryl Beard George Berry Wilbur Berryman William Boorom Kenneth Brewer Richard Brewer Robert Brewer Leo Cadwell Robert Cadwell Richard Carpent Joseph Clary Leslie Coons Robert Cornish Chester Crans Calvin Denlng Dwelton Evans Warren Eyrlck Elwood Fowler Lester Fowler Earl Fultz Robert Glen Albert Harrie John Harris Lauren Harris George Hepler SI' Robert House Merle Johnstanbaugh Robert Koons Arnold Lent Earl McConnell Richard MacDowell Kathyrn Malloy John Maraearz Lyman Miller Dudley Peterson Ralph Pierce John Putnam Ernest Rapalee Franklin Robbins James Ruddlck Cole Sebring Bertrand Shay Alfred Smith Gerald Smith Theodore Spence John Stocking Jack Sullivan Lyle Sutfin Howard Symonds Carl Vroman Donald Warren Charles Watling Edwin Watling Harriet Watllng ROLL oahbmoa FACULTY Gordon DePew Principal lst row Helen Hart Sr. H.S.

Most of us think that the Board of Education is a group of men, elected by our parents, that hold meetings to discuss various things at intervals. We have never really given much thought to what they do. They have established a Bub- stantial Health and Vocational Pro- gram for us. The Health Program in- cludes Physioal Education, Corrective Gym for Posture corrections, a Dental Hygenist and dental equipment, fully equipped Nurse's Office and a health course. Under the Vocational Program are several of the following courses for us to follow: Agriculture, Shop, Homemaking, Art, Science, Music and Business besides the required subjects for students such as English and History. To the Board, for the aid they have given us, we are ' greatly appreciative. ' ' Eleanor Jane Clark 6 IRUIPHIEIW Do you remember the fine June day in 1944 that we graduated from D.C.S.? That query by the former Betty Leech, now Mrs. Benny Cadwell, set my mind to thinking. Why not get in touch with my former class- mates? I had been planning a world trip for this year so here was another reason for going. New York City, in the spring, and who should I meet on Times Square, but Myra Yawger, now married, she explained that she and her hubby were in New York for a shopping trip. She told me that she had seen JoAnne Wilcox and Betty Meyers in New York during that week also, It seems that Jo went on with her desire to be a nurse and continued working in a hospital there. Betty Meyers is a secretary to a head man in Radio City. My plans were laid so that I would go to Washington, Argentina, Chile, up the Pacific to America, from there to Canada, and Russia, across Russia to Europe, France, England, across the Atlantic and home to Dundee. Pennsylvania Avenue, Washington, D.C. and Kitty Turner made for a splendid afternoon. Kitty said that she was a secretary to the Senator from South Carolina considering her check, 1t's a good occupation. Can you imagine finding a classmate in Wash1ngton's Monument? I couldn't, but I did that is, I found George Bennett. It seems that she is happily married and, at PPGBBUV 18 on a eight-seeing tour. 'Member uStuu Bishop? I found him fishing on the banks of the Potomac. On the boat south, Evelyn Miller and Alpha Davie popped up. The three of us had several enjoyable afternoons together. We had an exciting trip to Rio de Janerio. With so many former classmates crossing my path I expected to meet someone else and sure enough, the three of us received invitations to dinner from Arlene Crane, and her diplomat husband. Arlene, by the way, is reported to be the best- dressed woman in South America. Across South America to Santiago, Chile and Fred Hinkleman was found preaching at a revival meeting- He's still trying to convince people. That was a trait of his in high school. The west coast of America certainly' profited from the D.C.S. class of '44. Jean and Margaret Boag, both married have settled in California and Oregon, respectively. Wilma Jean Denton, is still hair styling but she gets paid for it, in Hollywood. I journeyed inland to Montang to find Arlene Borden managing a horse ranch of her own. Her buddies call her 'Dusty'. Canada, and there was Elliot Baldwin trading in bear fur. I could hardly believe my eyes. Irene Miller boarded the plane I was on. She has gotten into the secret service, somehow, and was on a mission to Moscow. We went to Moscow together and then I ventured on to France and in Paris, Ruth Allen, 'forkyn in her school days, has been bringing to a close her study of the human brain. She in- formed me of the fact that Erma Gardner, was going to play an oboe solo accompanied by the London Phil- harmonic the next week. I rushed to London to hear her and Daisy Randall, urstwhile traveler in England, come into the theater and sat next to me. Knowing that my trip must soon end, I again went to the airport to board a plane for home. Bob Rapalee and Tom Disbrow, full-fledged trans- Atlantic pilots, piloted the plane homeward. It was good to get home and report to Mr. and Mrs. Elwin Kent Cresidence Castle Point, remember Helen Castle?l, Marilyn Inscho Geroge Klopf and Greeba Hays that all our high school friends were still much the same as ever. Marjorie Hall IHIINIT It was way back in the year of '52 that this class of '44 started its rough Journey through the years of education at Dundee High School. The main events of these first years were the class picnics which were held at the lake at the closing of each term. We were just little tots then and even bashful Chow we've changedi. Little we knew of what was ahead of us! Those first years we learned the fundamentals of life ..,..... As we proceeded through the years we lost members here and there and picked up others to take their places. There are now with us seven members who have stuck with the class through 'thick and thinnl There cheers go to these stu- dents who have so bravely shouldered their burden: Betty Leech, Bob Rapalee, Arlene Crans, Myra Yawger, Evelyn Miller, Irene Miller, and Elwin Kent. It was in '59, when we were in the sixth grade that our school was Centralized and our classed expanded. The founda- tion of the Central School building was laid, at the moment we were rather short of space in the old building for so many students. So what did they do? They evacuated us along with the fifth grade and sent us down to a couple of rooms next to the old post office. But this wasn't as bad as it sounds. No, we spent a happy and ex- citing year there. We were always playing tricks on the teacher and doing mischlefg the principal was busy most of the time in the main school. That year the building caught on fire and it scared us half to death. It wasn't anything serious but we had the afternoon off to do what ever we wanted to, which was most pleasing to all of us. ' All this was while our new building was growing larger and larger. In January o our seventh year it was finished. We were proud parading up the street to this new building. It was all an adventure to us, though at first it was difficult to find our way around such a large place. Even so, it d1dn't take long till we knew the place quite well and appreciated all the conveniences we never dream- ed of before, such as the gym, cafeteria, auditorium, art room and library. Never before had we lived in such luxury. Up to now things have gone along smoothly, but 1940 brought an outburst. At last we were finally grownup Ceo we thoughtl. We were in high school at last, as Freshmen. We thought we were big Kas all Freshles do? and raised a lot of commotion that year. During our Sophomore year our President, and well liked member of the class 'Jerry Smithn- left us and joined the Marines. We started a class band but lost interest and at Christmas time had a party, full of fun. We raised money this year having a Wport-and-bean' supper, which was a great success. In our Junior year we did all we could to help the Beniors establish the yearbook. Towards the end of the year we had a picnic at Castle's Point at which the Seniors were our guests. We had a St. Patr1ck's Day party among ourselves, and a movie nElephant Boy' in April to raise money. Also in that year the Sen1or's entertained us at a Halloween Party. The plans that we made for our Senior year have been great- ly changed on account of ' the war. Even though we can't go on the trip which we looked forward to, we did a little tripping on a hayride party, which proved to 4o'v1'l-hsugd fa.gQ.-39 Das - ' We, the class of 1944, of the Dundee Central School, do hereby make and declare this our last will and testament.

We hope to make our yearbook as memorable as theirs and even more so. Still, many of our activities have been curtailed because of the war. Our plans like others are few and scattered. We are trying hard to scare up ways of earning money, and although we do have a few plans, we haven't completed all the details as yet. In May we will give our first attempt at presenting a class play Miss Davies, our class advisor has graciously consented to be our dra- matic coach at this event. We have had one opportunity to raise money this semester. We sold Personalized Cadet Post Cards. The amount we cleared is thirty-four dollars. The Junior Class is noted for its excellent basket-ball players. Among the best are: Robert Miller, Robert Allen, Richard Webster, and Burr Sebring. We are certainly proud of our athletes. Next year we will be on our own for the purpose of presenting this book to the dtudent-body and also to the public. During the coming year, we will be storing up ideas for our book and will appreciate all suggestions. Eleanor Jane Clark 0Pll0MORE We, the class of 1946 are larger in number but limited in activities due to the war conditions. Our only activity thus far has been a Christ- mas party. The funds in our treasury are growing slowly as each member contributes his dues. Among our class members we have some excellent actors who starred in the Christmas play. Agnes Taylor played the part of the leading angel and Luther Perkins portrayed Joseph. Our athletic skills are not as high as they might be but we are proud of what we have and hope by another year our technique will be unexcelled. The cheerleaders this year were chosen from the Sophomore class, this proving our ability as leaders. we have lost more or less of the greenness we had in our Freshman year and are proud to exhibit the intellect of Sophomores as we parade the halls of Dundee Central. We are quite sure under the capable guidence of Mrs. Hart, our advisor, that we will make the grade and be an honor to our school.

I guess every freshmen class has the reputation of being noisy, but with the aid of Miss McLane and our other teachers we have become very dignified little ladies and gentle- men. In the near future you will pro- bably see Virginia Borden as a nurse and Thomas Chadwick and James Mac Dowell as scientists, all doing very important work for the government. Our class which is the class of 1947 have nearly all chosen the profession which they will take up in later years. Some may even Join the army as well as taking up business, nursing and secretarial Jobs. We have three more years to ad- vance before we graduate and we hope to have fun along with our school- ing. We also'hope to do our best in buying war stamps and bonds and in other parts of the war efforts. We very much hope that we will be a graduating class the Dundee Central School of which its teachers will be proud.

We are planning to have correspondents in the South American countries and write letters to them in Spanish. There are four members and Miss Davies is our sponsor. We have chosen Marjorie Hall for President, for first term, vice president for second term, alternating with Daisy Randall,Evelyn Travis for Secretary and Dorothy Bryant for Treasurer. Evelyn Travis DANCING CLUB Because dancing is a social asset I a dancing club has been organized under the direction of Miss Strauss. It is held each week in the gymnasium., The club con- sists of over eighty members making it the largest club in school. Members either learn the fund- amentals of dancing or 1mPP0Ve their dancing by adding new steps. So far this year we have learned several combinations of fox-trot steps, We are looking forward to trying some waltzes and other forms Dancing gives a person poise and graoefulness. The Seniors are planning a Senior Ball where the members of the Dancing Club may show their skills and achievements in dancing. Kathryn Turner COOKING CLUB We, the members of cooking club salute the yearbook. Miss Brooks, our supervisor has outlined an excellent program for our twenty members, and while some things were a little burned, every- thing was satisfactory. ' Credit is due to the girls who made aprons and caps for the boys, and also for our President, Roy Anderson. We feel we have had a successful year and a nourishing one. Fred Hinkleman NURSING CLUB The Nursing Club meets in the hellth room of the School. Our ln- structor is Mrs. Johnson. There are six members of the club in- cluding Ruth Bassage, Neva KSYIUODI Norma Palmer, Mary Lyle, Shirley King, and myself Wirginla Bordenl. We are participating in the Junior First Aid course. In order to cover this ground adequately a minimum of fifteen hours 18 required. When we have finished our study of first aid, we expect to be able to handle everyday emergencies. Virginia Borden DRAMATIC CLUB The Dramatic Club under the direction of Miss Nellie Mc Lane started off with a bang, as you might say. We began with the Christmas Pagent in which some of the members took part, while others helped with the properties and stage lighting. We followed by reading and discussing short skits, plays, and chapters from some of our new library books. Some were most amusing, while others were of a serious nature. These have helped us to speak more clearly and correctly and to understand and be- come better acquainted with plays and other works in Literature. We have found our Dramatic Club most entertaining as well as educational. Evelyn Miller JUDO CLUB This club averaged about 12 members. Emphasis was on de- veloplng some offensive and de- fensive skills. Most contact wgrk was done by boxing. Judo is too dangerous for novices. I 1-11 f are 7 - clvbs because - 9 f F 7' l,f- 'SCIENCE CLUB When the members .of the Science Club counted noses there were only seven present. However, this has proved rather an asset because it allows each member to explore his own interests, which would be im- possible lf there was a large membership. For the reasons -Just stated above, the club 18 being conducted in an informal manner, with the members working on projects of their own choosing. Since most of the members are members of the General Science Classes, their club activities have been quite closely related to interests which have evoloved from the General Science class work.

In it we have boxing, wrestling, table tennis and anything the members want to do, such as diving over the parallel bars from the spring board. Later on we are going to have terminals in the games to determine the champion of the club. Edward Dombroskl 22 STUDENT ' COUNCIL One of the many Jobs done by the Student Council every year with the help of the principal and the faculty is to choose an assistant editor for the school news. The assistant editor which was chosen by the Council last year is editor this year. Another Job is to choose the cheer leaders, a manager and a assistant manager for the football, basketball and baseball teams. We have also helped in organizing a club pro- gram which is to provide for entertainment r and education for each pupil WT10 J01f1B 9- club. The organizing of a hallway monitors system this year was also done by the Student Council. The Student Council of 1945-1944 ein- cerely hopes it has done its part towards the betterment of the pupils' sch001 life. Elliott Baldwin President DUNDEE 'Hl c HLIGHT The Highlights staff was organized for the purpose of writing up different articles about our Aschool, telling some of the things the school is doing and what the children are do- ing at school. The present staff consists of the following pupils: Editor-in-chief Helen Castle Assistant Editor Garth Dening Senior Reporter Erma Gardner Junior Eleanor Campbell Sophomore Agnes Taylor Freshman Leila Miller Sth Grade Norma Torrence 7th Grade Kelsey Chadwick Sports Robert Miller Claudia Symonds Homemaking Music F.F.A.

Al- though hampered by the war con- ditions we have finished this book. It represents many hours of hard work by a certain few, so we hope that you will like it and remember the school year of 1945 and 1944. Much praise should be given to Daisy Randall, our business manager, who conducted the duties of her office very efficiently. Not only did she do that but she also did very much of the art work on the 'H1ghlander.' The literary part of the 'High- lander' was handled by Kathryn Turner, as the literary editor. She did most of the typing for the year book and also the proof-reading. Kathryn was assisted in typing some material by Myra Yawger, Betty Leech, Wilma Jean Denton, Betty Meyers, and Georga Bennett. These girls did an excellent Job in help- ing Kathryn with the typing material. One of the hardest Jobs was the one of the Photography Aed1tor's. Sam Sedam was originally in charge of the photography but was forged to turn it over to Clair Wheeler be- cause of his induction into the Navy. Clair, with the help of Mr. Cook did most of the- photography work. Because of the lack of film and other war time conditions, his was a hard and complicated task, but he accomplished it. The sales of the 'Highlander' was taken care of by Helen Castle, our Circulation Manager. Helen had charge of the homeroom BEEIEHEED and her work done in supervising the sales is greatly appreciated. Also Elwin Kent did an efficient bit of work in the Sports department. As we draw this book to a close we extend our best wishes to the Class of '45 and we sincerely hope that you will enjoy this .year's edition of the 'H1ghlander'. Robert Rapalee Editor The Band and Orchestra of the Dundee Central School are under the direction of Joseph Greyback. Both of these are to help each individual become acquainted with music and to instruct him in good habits. Until 1942 the Band and Orchestra competed in music contests held at different schools each year. For the duration of the war neither the Band or Orchestra will be able to attend these contests. The Orchestra was organized in January of 1958. This organization has made appearances at the winter and spring music festivals, graduation, school plays and high school assemblies. The Band was organized in September of 1957. Many services have been rendered by the Band such as playing for the Dundee Fair, Boy Scouts, Memorial Services, winter sand spring music festivals, Circus, basketball games and high school assemblies. Our musical organizations have created among the students a better understanding and sincere appreciation of good music. Myra Yawger Cl-IESTFQA Cl-IOQLJS The Girls' High School Chorus now consists of forty-three members. Each year several of the singers are lost at grad- uation, but their places are filled by new Freshmen the following year. Chorus is a class in which one can enjoy herself as well as sing and appreciate good music. A few minutes of each rehearsal is devoted to exercises and scales which develop good breathing and tone quality. We are not always anxious for this portion of our training, but as we notice the 1m- provement in our voices, we realize its im- portance. The chorus, which once had the honor of Journeying to Atlantic City, will probably take no part in contests for the duration. However, there are many other activities in which it participates. For the past two years, Miss Elizabeth Swain has been the instructor of vocal music in the school. During this time, we have sung in assemblies, church services, and Chr stmas programs. This year we have sung music by Grieg, Handel, Strauss, and other well-known composers. The Girls Chorus is one of the out- standing organizations in school.

This team lost only three games, which gave us second place in the league. The sportsmanship cup went to Odessa Central School and the League Cup went to Ovid. The team wishes to express 1t's appreciation to Mr. Smith, the Coach, who did so much toward making the team a SUCCESS. Besides the games that were played with other schools, there were numerous interclass and intramural games here in our own school. The girls have also taken an active part in the field of sports this year. They even took up football, and although their tactics amused the boys, they had fun. Miss Strauss is the girls Physical Education instructor this year. She takes a great interest ln sports and is well liked by everyone. Today, more than ever, a sports program is necessary, to prepare students for later life. Dundee Central has an excellent system, and we're proud of it.

Football was introduced into the depart- ment for the first time. There-were many games which were played between the classes and most of the girls appreciated a change from the routine sports. Softball played an important part in the department until tH,e first signs of winter could be seen add then the girls were forced to resort to indoor sports. Classes also competed against each other in this sport, and when spring arrives again it will probably find the girls participating in games of softball. The two most important sports which the girls engage in during the winter are basketball and volleyball. The girls enjoyed these sports immensely and many lnterclass games were participated in and enjoyed. The Physical Education Department is striving to build up the physical stature of the students in the school. It is the student's duty to help achieve this purpose. Alice Beard DRAMA Drama played a leading part in retelling the story of Christmas in the Dundee Central School Auditorium. A cast of thirty-five students, picked from the entire high school body, were ably supported by the girls' chorus of forty voices, as they presented UThe Holy Nativity . Beautifully costmmed and trained, the cast was prepared under the direction of Miss Nellie McLane, while Miss Elizabeth Swain had charge of the chorus. The pageant narrator, Sam Sedam, gave a splendid presentation and the diction throughout was excellent. The main characters, Helen Castle as Mary, Luther Perkins as Joseph, and Agnes Taylor as the leading angel, together with their supporting cast told the story in an impressive manner. The lighting, make-up, acting and staging were worked out to the last detail, creating a feeling of devotion and wonder throughout the whole auditorium. Betty Leech IW-ixor-sl - can fihugd be quite successful. There will be other such parties before the end of the year. We pay special tribute to Robert Rapalee who has been President of our class for three years - Freshman, Junior and Senior, and who also received the Legion Award in '45. Now as we are about to leave school and probably won't all be together again---we look back upon our happy school days. It's been fun being here to- gether - hasn't it fellow students?
