Poems ore mode by fools like me, But only Gool com morke or tree. -Ioyce Kilmer 4 The members of every graduation class look forward to the time when they can publish their own yearbook. We, the Class of l95O, have, too, and now take great pleas- ure in presenting to you pictorially and journalistically, a kaleidoscopic view of our beloved Alma Mater, Dunkirk High School. We Seniors have been very fortunate to grow up in an exceptionally beautiful city, one noted far and wide for its magnificent trees. Aware of the attributes of stately trees and the constant source of inspiration they have been to us, we have looked to these silent teachers for the theme of our volume of the Ivy Tower. May you feel in glancing through these pages a part of the joy we felt during our high school daysy and in years to come, may this particular Ivy Tower serve as an inspiration to you and as a reminder of the happy days spent in Dunkirk High School.

The purpose of these groups was to present supplementary material, to give practice in parliamentary proce- dure, to provide members with the opportunity of appearing before an audience, and to train young people in the various speech activities they will encounter in real life situations. Many interesting and varied programs, planned by the students themselves, were given at the reg- ular meetings. The subject matter of these programs was drawn from many fields, literary, political, historical, and scientific. For the sake of variety, this material was presented by de- clamation, panel discussion, forum, debate, and symposium. The programs which proved the most interesting were the forums on Capital Punish- ment and Student Governmentnp the symposiums on Safety and on News Columnistsny the programs commemorating special days: and the student radio broadcasts. The highlight of the year was the English Party, held in the school library, the after- noon of May l9.

During this quarter of a century, it exerted a powerful influence in Dunkirk High School by promoting academic achievement, citizenship training and character development. The success which has always crowned the efforts of the League is largely due to its enthusiastic and competent organizer and sponsor, Miss Mary Weber. For many years, Miss Ann M. Weber, now Principal of School Four, also served faithfully as an adviser. The objectives of the League have ever been to acquaint its members with the rules of parliamentary procedure, to conduct forum and round table discussions on contemporary pro- blems, and to give students practice in speaking before a group. The highlights of the past year's activities included a talk given by Miss Weber on her travel experiences to California and the Canadian Pacific, the Senior assembly, a patriotic program given February 22, and the League Silver Anniversary celebration, a formal ban- quet held at Shorewood Country Club, May 8. draw .feaque Ufficmfi Ollie Mae Kemp - - - Secretary Peter Nowak - - Treasurer Ross Cellino - - President Margaret Draves - Vice-President Sheila Mae Wheller - - Citizen Reporter I 61446 Row l--K.

The Spanish Club Los Electricosn or Livewires had a most profitable and enjoyable year. Under the efficient guidance of la Senorita Koons, these officers were elected: el presi- dente, el senor Ros Cellino, el vice-presidente, la senorita Carol Petz, el secretario, la senorita Laura Belle Kemp, el tesorero, la senorita Annette Bielat, la historiadora, la senorita Alona Nowak, and reporter, el senor Roberto Polasik. Poco a poco se va lejos or Little by little one goes far is the motto of the club. This year the club established a point system, as a result all appointments and honors had to be earned. ln lanuary, twenty-five underclassmen with high averages, were admitted into the or- ganization, bringing the membership up to forty-three. Monthly meetings were held at which time a program was presented centering around a theme for that particular season. On December 12, a Christmas party and entertainment took place. The Story of Christmas in Spain and Spanish America , was the subject of the program. In April, a group of plays were presented by the club in the high school auditorium. They were given at an evening performance for parents and friends and were repeated the next day for the entire student body. A banquet in Iune culminated the year's Work. At the end of the year certificates were awarded for faithful and outstanding work in club activities. This group presented the school with a beautiful flag for the auditorium. Movies were taken of Mr. Hayes' accepting the gift. The purposes of this organization were to provide social activities for the members, to foster better understanding with our Spanish and Pan-American friends, to learn of their way of life, their customs, and their culture.

In order to be eligible for membership, students ' ' ' ' d ' t must have achieved a ninety percent average for an entire school year. Once inducte in o this organization, members must maintain an average of at least eighty-eight per cent.

After Wallace Pilarslci's resignation in lanuary, Richard Barnes was elected president for the remainder of the year. Semi monthly business meetings were held in the library conference room. These were usually followed by an interesting program. ln October, after the Dunkirk-Lockport football game, the society sponsored a success- f l dance. On March l7, a movie, l'll Be Yours , was presented in the new auditorium for the u enjoyment of the entire student body. In May, the club participated in the A L annual mass meeting of the Chautauqua County Honor Societies.

Club officers were Consul Iacqueline Lancaster, Pro-Consul William Custer, Censor James Butterfield, Quaestor Raymond Wolfe, Aedile Keith Orts, Scriba David Bridge, and Pontifex Maximus Dolores Wollert. The purpose of the S. P. Q. R. was to supplement the work of the regular class period, to increase the students' knowledge of the customs and the people of ancient Rome, and to promote friendship among the members. In November a formal initiation was held and the new members, soon after, willingly helped to make the club candy sale a success. A Christmas party was enjoyed in December. On Ianuary 13, the organization sponsored an assembly program during which a tro- phy, won for Dunkirk High School by Susan Weinberg, Henry Wojnarowski, and Robert Wolfe, was presented to Mr. Hayes. The remainder of this program, consisting of two playlets, and several musical numbers, helped foster a deeper appreciation of Latin. Shortly after Easter a successful dance was held in the boys' gymnasium. In May the club held Open House for all eighth graders who plan to take the College Entrance Course. ln lune, the highlight of the S. P. Q. R. was reached when the yearly banquet took place. Awards were presented during the evening to several members for outstanding work in Latin. These affairs, with the regular scheduled monthly meetings, rounded out a most suc- cessful year. rein l 741 Ja- W In VE .,...q. ., .sf R ' A t . Seated-M. Fitzer, A. lntravartolo, I.

New members were inducted twice during the year, in the fall and in the spring. The club as usual participated in many noteworthy projects. They sold basketball pencils and many other kinds of school supplies in order to raise money. At Christmas time, they prepared a basket of food for a needy family in the city. To help the people living in the devastated areas of Europe, they very enthusiastically collected hundreds of Swan soap Wrappers for Care. They also sent a number of books to the children at the Cassadaga Hos- pital. On Ianuary 27, their annual dance, The BackWood's Hop , was held in the boys' gymnasium. About 250 young people, clad in dungarees and plaid shirts or blouses, danced joyously to the strains of Dave Menzies Orchestra. The club , as in former years, took an active part in the area Tri Hi- Tm 'fm M Y and Hi-Y meetings, and last fall they sent Carol Muscato to the State Hi-Y Assembly in Albany.

A bill for periodic driver re-tests was proposed and passed at the Fredonia Assembly, and was later passed at the Albany Assembly. This year the club completed an expensive technicolor film called A Year in Dunkirk High , depicting all the activities of the school. The members also distributed Christmas baskets to needy families of the area and conducted a successful campaign for soap wrappers to aid the needy in Europe. F or the fourth year they sponsored a refresh- ment booth at the football games. in the boys' gymnasium. This proved to be one of the highlights on the social calendar of the school.

Officers elected for the year were Robert Block, president: Catherine Van- dura, vice-president: Virginia Hannum, secretary and treasurer. Iack Lindquist was manager of the uniforms. Under the competent direction of Miss Marie Metzger, the band enjoyed a most successful year. Full rehearsals were held Tuesday and Thursday mornings and Friday noon: sectional rehearsals, on Monday and Wednesday. ln November, the group journeyed to Iamestown, to attend the concert given by the United States Marine Band.

During the entire year, the organization rendered excellent service to its school and community. lt played for all home football games, presenting a series of unusual and spec- tacular formations. lt furnished music for the Forestville March of Dimes program, the Senior Day assembly, the Senior play, and many other assemblies. It led the Memorial Day Parade. The beautiful numbers it rendered at the Christmas assembly did much to make that program the inspiration that it was. Many soloists and ensembles generously supplied musical num- bers for several other school functions. The annual concert presented on April 27, in the auditorium proved most outstanding. For the first time in several years, the band competed at the Spring Music Festival at Fredonia. Many soloists and ensembles also played for ratings at this time.

Any student with the ability to sing was eligible. The complete chorus was divided into four smaller groups. Chorus A was composed of the people with better voices, and the remainder of the group was known as Chorus B. Then there were the Girls' Glee Club and the Boys' Glee Club. Regular rehearsals were held during the last period in the afternoon. The complete chorus practiced on Wednesday and Friday afternoons: Chorus A, on Tuesday afternoon, and the Boys' Glee Club on Thursday afternoon. This organization generously furnished music for many school activities during the year. Its splendid rendition of Song of Christmas by Roy Ringwald contributed much to the beauty of the Christmas program. During the Easter assembly, a chorus of sixteen picked voices played a most important part. Small groups sang on other occasions: such as, Senior Day, History League banquet, and the English party. At the annual Spring Concert, the full chorus supplied several beautiful numbers and the Boys' Glee Club also rendered special selections. The entire group, as in former years, attended the Spring Music Festival in Fredonia. Several solos were given by various members for criticism and ratings.

The purpose of the Girls' D Club was to create good sportsmanship and friendship among the girls. Membership in this organization was an award for active participation in basketball, volleyball, deck tennis, soccer, archery, and soft ball. The initial event of the year was the election of officers in September. Harlene Ball was chosen president, Colette Gawlowicz, vice-president: Lorraine Damian, secretary: and Ioan Tofil, treasurer.

The 1940 Dunkirk Marauders experienced one of the most successful seasons in a num- ber of years, finishing with a total of six wins and one loss. To start the eventful season the Maroon boys traveled to Hyde Park, Niagara Falls, to tear through Trott Vocationa1's heavy line for successive long gains. This game ended with the Marauders on the right end of a 38-0 score. ln the first home game, the Maroon Gridders out fought a powerful La Salle eleven and made a number of spectacular runs around the ends for an 18-6 win. Then an undefeated lamestown outfit traveled to Dunkirk to hand the Maraud- ers their only loss. After a hard fought contest, lamestown plowed its way to an 18-0 victory. The following week Dunkirk bounced back on the home field: and charging through a heavy Niagara Falls' line, chalked up an 18-13 score in favor of the Maroon and White. At Lockport, the Maroons took over from the beginning. Ripping their opponents' line apart for repeated long gains, they came out on the winning side of the ledger, 25-0. When the Olean Huskies came to Dunkirk, they were confronted by a yet unleashed aerial attack, an innovation which was a big factor in O1ean's succumbing to Dunkirk 18-14. Playing in Fredonia's Mudbow1 before a crowd of 4,000 spectators, the Dunkirk Gridders in the last game of the season hand- ed the 1-lilltoppers an 18-0 loss. ln this traditional game both teams threw everything they had into the contest. By making a series of long gains through and around their rival's heavy line, and by eating up yardage through the air, Dunkirk triumphantly marched on to victory. Hold- ing up the defensive part of the game, Dunkirk held Fredonia to a total of three first downs. The two factors which contributed to the team's success this year were two previous years of preparation and a well-balanced team which was without stars but fought together. 1721 rw : 1. H.

The crowd saw a close working quintet overcome the Huskies, 33-26. On De- cember 2, the Maroons officially opened the Lakeshore League at Southwestern. The Dunkirk five again clicked and came out on the long end of a 39-17 score. lamestown came to Dunkirk December 97 and after a fast hard game, handed the home team its first defeat, 37-34. The Marauders, however, recovered from their setback when they went to Silver Creek on Decem- ber 16 and won, 48-40. Traveling to Fredonia December 20, they outplayed the 1-lilltoppers, 43- 35. Ang Bennice dunked 17 points during this eventful game. On lanuary 6, Falconer knocked Dunkirk from a second place tie, by outscoring it, 38-27. The home team next went over the hill to Gowanda only to be beaten by the Panthers, 49-43. The Westfield Grapepickers came to Dunkirk on lanuary 20 and chalked up a 41-33 defeat. On lanuary 27, the Marauders mi- grated to Olean and lost a hard game, 46-43. When Southwestern came here, lanuary 31, it was beaten 43-33. The Maroon and White team traveled to Iamestown February 3, and was nosed out after a close game, 54-50. loe Kulig running hog wild threw in 19 points. The following week Silver Creek came here to be met by a rejuvenated five who handed the Black Raiders a 55-40 loss. Norman Begier missed the school record by just three points after dropping 24 points through the hoop. Fredonia journeyed to Dunkirk, February 17, and succumbed to a 55-41 defeat. When the Marauders made their way to Falconer February 21, they were sent home with a 42-39 defeat. On the home court, February 25, Dunkirk got its revenge on Gowan- da, 70-56. The last game of the season which was played at Westfield, March 3, found Dun- kirk's score 44, Westfield's 34. With ten wins and only six losses chalked up to its credit, D. H. S. will always be proud of the 1949-50 basketball squad. 1741 .Eel 1 I . 'P R. 4. 5. Eu. W. Szclierbclcki A. Bennico F. Guomati N. Beqim I. Kulxq M, Schwmt U. Sc1gq111111wen l751 7! Center Couch A.

By the end of the month, we had selected our leaders for our first year. They were lack Mathers, president: Donald Strawser, vice-president, Barbara White, secretary: james Fafinski, treasurer. Mrs. Isabel Marshall, Miss Ann Iohnson, and Mr. Robert Schafer served us faithfully as ad- visers. The star attraction of the year was our Freshmen Night, November 7. During the evening, we introduced our parents to our teachers, and put on our first program. A play, Billy's First Date , was well pre- sented by the following cast: Ross Cellino, Barbara White, lohanna Brisky, Iames Fafinski, Virginia Polcyn, Mary Piazza, Margaret Draves, Robert Block, and Iacqueline Szynski. Musi- cal selections were rendered by Robert Block, Patricia Hamann, Loretta Eubanks, Iacqueline Szynski, Ioan Griswold, lack Lindquist, and William Thompson. Francis Sobkowski entertain- ed with magic, and Margaret Draves and Virginia Polcyn danced. D. Strawser, I. Fafinski, I. Mathers, B. White Throughout the year, several of us took part in musical and athletic programs, joined clubs, and attended the numerous school functions. In addition, we also worked hard at our scholarship. When we returned to school in the fall of 1947, we were a much more mature group. We understood the purpose of high school more clearly and wished to make the most of our Sophomore year. With the assistance of our competent advisers, Mrs. Christeen Miller, Miss Doris Dimpfl, and Miss Dolores Ganslow, we held our class election. The results revealed Wallace Pilarski, president: Robert Block, vice-president: Iacqueline Szynski, secretary, and Iames Fafinski, treasurer. Living up to the standards we had set as Freshmen, We continued to participate in the various school activities and clubs. Several of our members were listed among the honor students. On May 7, our Sophomore assembly was held. For our play we chose the well known comedy, Two Crooks and a Lady , by Eugene Pillot. Included in the cast were Ross Cellino, Irene Perry, joan Tofil, Doris Ruge, james Fafinski, and james Crawford. This play was later repeated for the public at an evening performance. Taking everything into consideration, our Sophomore year was a memorable one. When September, 1948, rolled around, we joyously entered the portals of our school as upperclassmen, juniors at last. For our leaders we chose Charles Porpiglia, president: Mar- garet Draves, vice-president: Francis Sobkowski, treasurer: and Virginia Polcyn, secretary. VV ith the capable guidance of our advisers, Mr. Charles Aey, Miss Edith Osborne, and Miss Pearl Reed, we experienced a successful year. Our class party, The Sweetheart Dance , was held on February 18, in the boys' gym- nasium. Both decorations and refreshments carried out a valentine motif. These, in addition to good music, supplied a romantic atmosphere for the happy occasion. In May, the Honor Societies from ten surrounding schools gathered in our auditorium for a joint induction ceremony. After the service, a dance was given in the boys' gymnasium, and 1811 Glafu aqicizdflq refreshments were served. lnstalled from our class were Richard Barnes, Ross Cellino, Ronald Ganslow, Patricia Hamann, Dolores Kokocinski, Elaine Korbas, Patricia Maternowski, Donald Miller, Arbuta Mingle, Wallace Pilarski, Virginia Polcyn, Louise Racino, Sophie Swiech, lacque- line Szynski, Sheila Mae Wheeler, and Raymond Wolfe. The social highlight of this year, however, was our formal lunior Prom, held in the boys' gymnasium, May 27. The theme, Apple Blossom Time , was adroitly carried out in the dec- orations. ln this ethereal atmosphere, dancing to the strains of Tony DiRusso's Orchestra was most enjoyable. Besides these social functions, we luniors supported school activities and played an important part in all organizations. We attained high athletic standing, and worked diligent- ly to maintain creditable scholarship. September, l949, ushered in that glorious hour when we returned to school as Seniors. However, on this occasion, we also felt pangs of sadness and regret, for we realized only too well that our eventful high school career would soon be over. How anxiously we had antici- pated our Senior year and how wonderful it proved to be! Our grateful thanks go to our loyal advisers, Miss Helen Myers, Mr. Charles Repert, and Mr. lohn Kreider, who worked so dili- gently to make it so. As Seniors we fully realized that it was our duty to set an example for the lower class- men and to play a leading role in the various clubs and activities of the school. The following were selected to guide us: president, Charles Porpigliag vice-president, Wallace Pilarskiy secre- tary, Dolores Kokocinskig treasurer, Francis Sobkowski. .Soplnamaae Ufficeu I.

Polcyn Early in October, the Ivy Tower staff was announced with Patricia Hamann and Rich- ard Barnes co-editors. Our first important social event was our Senior Fiesta held in the boys' gymnasium, November l9. Attractive decorations, an entertaining program, tasty refreshments, excellent music, and good fellowship made this an occasion we shall never forget. Throughout the fall, we sold Christmas cards to help finance our Senior activities. Senior Day, February 22, was the next of a series of momentous occasions. Dressed in our best clothes, we made a very impressive appearance as we marched into our places in the auditorium. Under the capable guidance of Miss Mary Weber, the patriotic program which we presented proved to be one of the finest ever given in our school. On March 9 and lU, our Senior play, We Shook the Family Tree , dramatized by Perry Clark from the book by Hildegarde Dolson, was enacted to capacity houses. People will never cease talking about the wonderful success it was. We are deeply indebted to Miss Dorothy Koons for directing us so competently. May 8, brought the formal History League banquet at Shorewood Country Club. As this marked the twenty-fifth anniversary of the League, it was a most auspicious event. Dinner, served at seven o'clock at beautifully appointed tables, was followed by an excellent program of music, toasts, and speeches. Miss Weber and the League officers were in charge of arrange- ments. Then on the afternoon of May 19, the Senior English party was held in the school li- brary. We shall always remember the splendid program, beautiful decorations, delicious re- freshments, and genial atmosphere. Miss Hildegarde Foss and Miss Catherine Morrissey were our faculty advisers. All too soon came the last month of school with the Senior Prom, Iune 24: Class Night, Iune 26: and Commencement, Iune 28. Although our happy high school years are gone for- ever, the memory of them will linger in our hearts forever.

L s-ma, On the evening of November l9, the Seniors gathered in the boys' gymnasium for their long anticipated Fiesta . ln a glamorous, realistic, Mexican atmosphere, amid sleeping na- tives, cacti, gourds, and lanterns, the class danced to the strains of Dave Menzies' Orchestra, from 8:30 to ll:3O. Among the distinguished guests was a donkey with his cart. Being enchant- ed with what he saw, he remained in a corner the entire evening to View the pleasing specta- cle. To add to the enjoyment of the occasion, during the intermission a most entertaining program was presented. William Thompson, in his usual humorous manner, enthralled his audience by his clever accordion skit. This was followed by a beautiful soprano solo, Be- cause , by Clarice Blair. Francis Sobkowski, our accomplished magician, then held the group spellbound with his clever feats of magic. The class pianist, Harry Gnadzinski, next pleased his classmates by playing Spanish Gypsy Dance . To conclude the program Arbuta Mingle and Ross Cellino, attired in native costume, did the Mexican Hat Dance . After the serving of delicious refreshments dancing Was resumed. At the stroke of ll:3U the music ceased, and both the donkey and the Seniors wended their Way homeward to dream of the enjoyable Fiesta they had experienced with their classmates and teachers. The untiring efforts of the class advisers, Miss Helen Myers, Mr. Charles Repert, and Mr. Iohn Kreidery of the art teacher, Miss Teresa Schober: of Mr. Frank Lapaglia and his boysy and of all the class committees succeeded in making the Fiesta one which will long be remem- bered.

The Senior play, W'e Shook the Family Tree , dramatized by Perry Clark from the book by Hildegarde Dolson, was presented in the high school auditorium to capacity houses, the evenings of March 9 and 10. From the rise of the curtain to its final fall, the audience sat enthralled by the clever lines and humorous situations in this hilarious comedy. The plot centered around the difficulties encountered by the Dolson family when their teen-age daughter, Hildegarde, decided she no longer want- ed to be a Wallflower. How she humiliated her parents when she entered a debate on the subject, Should We Bring Back Prohibition? When the Iunior- Senior Prom rolled around and the young lady had no invitation, Mrs. Dolson came to the rescue by asking Mrs. Shermer to get her son Freddie to escort her. The young man was delighted to do so: but when Hildegarde learned that her date always wore knickers, it was a different story. Much humor, excite- ment, and confusion arose as a result of a series of attempts made by the young couple to get Freddie a pair of long trousers for the dance. Of course, in the end, conditions Worked out to the complete satisfaction of everyone concerned. An excellent cast, a competent director, faithful committees, and a co- operative stage crew all did their part in making the play the success that it was. Music between the acts was provided by a brass ensemble and members of the Honor Society served as ushers. I88l ACI' 3-P. Marczynski, L. Crino, S. Wheeler, P. Nowak, I. Szynski, A. Mingle, P.
