Every play must have an author ... every performance must have a director . . . and every school life must have a beginning. To most of us, you were that beginning ... you were that director .. . you were that author . . . you were that patient and tactful first grade teacher who started us on our school careers with understanding and tactfulness. For this we thank you... and dedicate to you the Embers of 46. FOREWORD “ All the world’s a stage and all the men-and women merely players.’ W. SHAKESPEARE Eden Central School . . . scene of a thousand dramas daily .. . stage upon which is played large and small roles alike . . . the im- portant playoff basketball game . . . the senior play . . . or the in- comparable feeling of reverence as we watch “Old Sol” tint the east hall a rosy pink in the opening moments of school each day. Yes, it is the little things, behind the scenes, unimportant, that linger in our memories through the years like golden treasure. With this thought in mind, we present the Embers of ’46. Through it, may you recapture some of the fading memories of those days past. A stir, a gentle murmur and then a confusion of voices . . . 8:15 and life again has crept through the portals of E.C.S. . . Buses arrive .. . students crowd the corridors . . . lockers bang... Freshmen giggle . . . late arrivals dash to homeroom for roll call ... and another day issues forth. A bell rings .. . monitors scramble to their “posts”... yawning through first-period classes . . . excuses for that “forgotten” homework . . . another bell . . . trying to do all assignments in one study hall . . . last minute primping for that important rendezvous . . . “bonjour la classe—bonjour le profes- seur” ... beating the bell to English class . . . typewriter No. 3 sticks during a speed test. Lunch hour brings a welcomed “gabbing fest”? as we discuss last night’s date . . . the coming game . . . the new teacher... the wnnecessary trip to the office . . . and what a swell fellow Bob is. The afternoon passes quickly as we debate the labor question . . . solve that geometry problem . . . smash a few test tubes . . . learn vido, vice, etc. . . and sing ‘Italian Salad”’ in chorus. 3:50 P. M. and the halls again bubble with unleashed con- versation ... What’s our history assignment? . . . Don’t forget to call at eight ...solong...see you tomorrow... The echo of voices cling to the building as life slowly subsides to deserted quietude . . . another day ends. Nothing important happened . . . just an average school day. But all these trivialities, no matter how insignificant, are part of a foundation . . . a founda- tion for life’s drama.

His authority and advice are accep- ted without hesitation . . . with- out reluctance . . . without ques- tion. His requests and sugges- tions are fulfilled readily because FRANK BuGaR we know they are good. We Supervising Principal know that they are for our bene- fit... our welfare ... our better education. His decisions are the best possible solutions to many problems because they are thought out clearly and without prejudice. Through his tireless efforts the present system of student government has been set up. Every drama boasts a script girl . . . the person responsib! .or the details. Miss Figel is our script girl . . . she is responsible for the details behind the door: ied ““Main Office” . . . attending to cor- respondence . . . answering the phones . . . receiving «:.:tors . . . mimeographing the “Tower”... keeping files .. . making appointments ...typing ta. She is responsible for the report cards... absentee slips . . . passes. She gives friendly adv:-e to pupils and teachers . . . handles the less im- portant “big” problems of students . . . listens to “pet peeves” and gripes . . . assists in every way possible. Mr. Bugar and Miss Figel are the two people Miss FIcEL we think of when we say “Main Office.”’ But we do not think of them as just being there because it is their job, as pieces of furniture, as school admin- istrators . . . we do not take them for granted. We respect them for their friendly and seemingly unprofessional help . . . we appreciate them for being loyal to us and our needs . . . we honor them for their unselfish service to the students of Eden Central School. DIRECTED.... A director . . . a man of responsi- bility and numerous “headaches” ...ateacher...an advisor... an assistant a . Our vice princi- pal, Mr. Anderson. He listens to an endless round of excuses and queries... May I be excused from class? .. . Jimmy was absent be- cause of a cold... Mary would like to ride bus No. 2... May I have my card, please? .. . Will you sign my pass? ... May I be excused at three o’clock? ... Can you help me, Mr. Anderson? ... I forgot my excuse . . . What time will the team be leaving for DonaLp J. ANDERSON the basketball game? .. . all A gasetarts Prtecivial these demand the attention of our ever active director. His job? . . . giving advice . . . teaching biology, chemistry and physics ... granting requests...O.K.’ing excuses . . . signing passes . . . attending to attendance . . . assist- ing Mr. Bugar . . . coaching the basketball team . . . supervising the buses . . . helping in any way he can. He has many responsibilities and duties, but he is never too busy to do something else . . . he is never too busy to laugh at a good joke or wince at a poor one . . . to O.K. another excuse or sign another pass . . . to give advice whenever necessary. Miss O’Dell is the bustling secretary of the busy Mr. Anderson. After serving three years as a mem- ber of the Waves, she has come to Eden Central to continue her efficient, satisfying work . . . taking care of the routine problems of the office . . . tending to correspondence . . . preparing and checking Atvon OT yars. records .. . compiling files . . . executing book- keeping and accounting tasks. She has enlighten- ed the office with her systematic, capable, effective office routine . . . has proven her competency as the bustling secretary of the busy Mr. Anderson. THEY SPRODUGED ue. Guides .. . advisors .. . instructors .. . counsellors... teachers... directors... and friends... our faculty members, each and everyone, are all of these. They represent our classes . . . our home- work ...and our report cards. To them we look for guidance and instruction . . . for encouragement ... for praise .. . for understanding . . . and for friendship. Looking back, we remember those little things, seemingly unimportant incidents in the classrooms ... Miss Childs lending another pencil .. . Miss Harrington explaining the intricacies of the typewri- ter... Mr. Richmond patiently repeating the explanation of that last geometry problem . . . Miss Morlock pampering her chemical rock garden . . . the health instructor insisting that we “Stand-up straight” ... Mrs. Pierce explaining the mysteries of the conjugation of a verb . .,, Mrs. Weaver reading aloud ‘““Macbeth” .. . Mr. Anderson asking “Why is red, red?” .. . Miss Agles’ cooking class and the tantalizing aromas that are forever wafting from the home economics room . . . Miss Whit- more keeping us active . . . Mr.Mergler demonstrating the use of the lathe . . . laughing at Mr. Ar- len’s far-fetched joke . . . indulging in after-class discussion . .. complimenting Miss Finnigan on her picturesque bulletin board ... Mrs. Francisco producing a beautiful picture from charcoal . . . Mrs. Dash reading a story . . . Miss Phillips correcting papers and Mrs. Adams making out a test... Miss Backer attempting to work in the noisy conference room... Miss Montgomery supervising a study hall. The grade teachers, too, represent an impor- tant part in our lives... they who taught us our ABC’s ... and 2+2=4.. . that Columbus discovered America ... that verbs and pro- nouns are not one and the same. They taught us the elementary things... the fundamentals. Our faculty members deserve our gratitude... they merit our thanks. They have instructed us for long years in preparation for life’s future stage ... they have expanded our knowledge ... taught us courtesy .. . self-control... in- tegrity ... reliance... cooperation .. . they have humored us when necessary ...and_ best of all, have listened to our tribulations. They have done this that we might become directors ourselves ... that we might rise up from ob- scurity and take our places on the ever- changing stage... the stage that is ever open to ambition and talent .. . the stage of life. aa Miss Backer.

They are the men and women behind the govern- ment of our school. With Miss Rose Clark as president, they decide how many assembly programs we have a year .. «who shall be our teachers ... what day we shall have that dance. Mr. Robert Brindley, who holds the position of treasurer on the Board, tends to the financial operations supervises the money details.

Upon the shoulders of these four individuals rests the successful operation of the Board of Education . . . they direct the policies followed by 12 the other members . . . they supervise meetings they organize and establish the principles upon which we base our school life.

They represent the individuals behind the production of senior graduation . . . they represent the choice of the people of the town as the most eligible . . . the most reliable . . . the most trust- worthy people to fill the precarious positions of school governors . . . they represent the students. Throughout the school year we have enjoyed numerous privileges made possible by the broad- minded Board members. We may look over the fading memories of the past year and remember in moments of reminiscence how we rode the buses to out-of-town basketball games . . . the teams and cheerleaders enjoying excursions to Buffalo ... having our pictures taken during school time .. . dancing at the many social hours. Yes, we remember the many moments of pleasure as a result of the liberalism’ of our sponsors. . men and women who: @ HHS PAGE JOKE: FAL BF LIPPY COMPLUTENTS OF THE FRESHMEN Ye ate ok er eS ga Ree 5h Mage gt nn” 3 ratte tagt neg ae Stet tatoos Seeeoncases SS Moe POT Se . “Wig = ey 2 BF oe i eee ome: ore iy Des Fan am S ar . ee er ‘ag j Rts PET EL LR ERE Ye Sao S S uy SSShs.

SENIOR PLAY A tremendous ovation greets the cast of ““Murder Mansion” and its director, Mrs. Pierce, as the final curtain draws to a close the mystery com- edy. The audience reluctantly leave their seats as the flashbacks of the play race through their minds... what a fine job Shirley did of portraying Ophlia, the colored maid. . . her surprising appe- tite and her horrified gestures. They remember the eccentric Aunt Mimi played by Lois Wittek. They remember Kathee’s interpretation of the wealthy Carlotta . . . the debonair Palmer Keen portrayed by Bill Palmerton . . . the much-sus- pected Mary Marley by Beverly Butts . . . the inquisitive Inspector Hicks by Max Weinar. They recall the eerie setting and Bruce climbing out from the trunk . . . his surprising re-entrance as Albert Jackson, the detective ... Connie, slurring with a French accent in her portrayal of Madame Marie Ravoli... Ruth as the “gushing”’ Flora Manning and Chester as the business-like Doctor Hamilton. The pleased spectators remember the suspense and the confusing characters. And backstage . . . the cast, too, is reminiscing. They remember all the weeks of hard work under the capable directorship of Mrs. Pierce . .. . sear- ching for old-fashioned furniture . . . “Act sur- prised”. . . “not loud enough.” They remember the invaluable cooperation of the stage crew... the make-up artists . . . the advertising and busi- ness committees . . . the student director,Molly Scott ... the wardrobe mistress. They remember the hours of rehearsing . . . Lois passing around a bag of cookies . . . Joe running from lights to bell and back to lights again . . . Shirley tripping in the dark . . . Connie’s search for exotic earrings... Joanne busying herself with program distribution . . . business manager Dick criticizing the love scene ... Bill Rice installing properties .. . Mr. Mergler building flats . . . Bob operating the cur- tains... George getting in the way .. . Norman covered with cold cream . .. Dwight shaping beards . .. Mrs. Francisco trying to keep order ... Dorothy putting on lipstick . . . Joe happily smearing rouge . and Mrs. Pierce valiantly struggling with lines. And they couldn’t forget the outstanding work of the advertising committee with posters ... announcements... skits over the loud speaker .. . Paul arousing curiosity .’. . doing a good job of selling our play. ” The senior cast of our school drama has presen- ted a performance worthy of the praise it received. They have learned the meaning of “success through unity.” Seated—Kathleen Morris, Lois Wittek; Standing— Mrs. Weaver Seated—D. Kasparek, D. Hunt; Standing—Mr. Anderson EMBERS STAFF Selling six hundred yearbooks and over a thousand dollars worth of advertisements gave us the satisfaction of covering expenses and of publishing the best “Embers” yet. Jean Zittel still dreams of fourth-period Wednesday .. . the lit- tered journalism room with its subscriptions . . . nickels and dimes . . . receipts . . . adding machines and punched cards. Dick, Bill, and Herb remember the ad drives . . . counting contracts .. . balancing books... taking pictures . . . money ... three and then four digit columns... a few mistakes... then ‘“‘everything checks!’ We remember Dorothy Kasperek editing copy and her question “What size ad? Where’s that copy?” With the new informal write-ups employed throughout the book, the literary staff hopes to give the students a more vivid reminder of the fun .. . the jokes .. . the lighter side of school life. Classroom incidents . . . sports highlights . scenes in halls . . . and all the little things which will prompt us to say someday—“And remember the day”... “T’ll never forget how”... Assigning write-ups... correcting and rewriting . . . kept the literary staff busy during school hours and at night. Norman’s division pages show us the rewards of talent and its application . . . Lucy’s sketches add to the effect of our divisions. Our thanks to Mr. Uhrich and Dick for excellent photos and cooperation. Our book is more than pictures... paper... ink. To us it means a wealth of memories ... Mrs. Weaver’s patience ... working as a unit... driving to near-by towns. . . visiting the publishers . . . the last frantic week before going to press ...and the joy of creating and of watching the growth and maturing of our tribute to our fond alma mater—Eden Central School! incites ee TUS domi 4 he Sitting—Dick Hunt, Bus.

MY CHOICE There is a young star named Van, A very handsome specimen of man. When he walks into the room All the girls—they do swoon As they look at this tall, handsome man. There is a young singer named Frankie, Who is very tall, lean, and lanky. He wears a bow tie That makes the girls sigh, And they really think he is swanky. There is a cool killer named Ladd; The pictures he makes are so sad. He can handle a gun, All the women he’s won. They’d like him—if he could be had. There is another singer called Bing, And he is the one who can sing. When he starts to croon Those songs about the moon— The girls all believe he’s something. Now, if you gave me all of these men, For none would I have any yen. The boy down the street Is the one that I greet, For he is the best of all men. —NorMAN TABER THE MOUSE The little mouse made a hole in the wall; He could slip in and out with no trouble at all. But forcing his body through small holes like these, Really gave his poor ribs a terrible squeeze. So securely he lived in that fortunate spot; uve bee in the land might have envied his ot. One day this mouse decided to roam; He met with a cat and never came home. Always do what old people say; When there is trouble, stay out of the way! —JOosEPH GENDONE AN APOLOGY FOR CLASSES Oh, how'lI dislike English Class And how I wait for it to pass. But when the bell rings, my spirits are high, And off to history class I fly. History is boring and time passes slow And never from this mouth do answers flow. The tests are hard and I just pass With seventy-five percent of the rest of the class. The next class to which I go is biology With its big phrases like “Ontogeny recapitu- lates phylogony.” In this class I never waste time But I always get at least ninety-nine. In geometry we do proofs step’by step So in this class I have lots of pep. But in Geometry there is something untold— All the proofs were solved in times of old. So to poor students like myself I say Never waste too much time in a day. And when tests come around, never fret You are sure to pass with high marks—I bet! —JosEPH MERGLER BANDIT LIFE Thundering hoofs sound through the glen, It’s a bandit leader and forty men. Shouting and singing in a carefree way, Adventure and peril await them each day. Now out to the hills where their loot is hidden, And up to the rock where shelter is given. “Open Oh Sesame,” shouts the leader. The door comes ajar, near the tall cedar. Upon entering the cavern, brilliant and cold, They tether their horses and count their gold. At a sign from their leader, they gather to dine Upon costly foods and rich, red wine. Talking and laughing they are fain to jest; Contentedly smoking, the men stop to rest. Tired and weary they sleep by daylight; Adventure and good fortune, they seek by night.

Not all of the games were wins for us . many were defeats .. . but the real fight of taking defeats with a smile, we did win. We learned the truth in the state- ment “Losing teams build school b spirit.” And as our spirit im- proved, so did our team. Successful pep meetings aroused school spirit early in the year. New cheerleaders selected by the Sports Committee ... Shirley, Harriet, and Marcia learned cheers and practiced faithfully. Under Miss Whitmore’s guidance we developed the “Beat’’ yell and ‘‘Four-fights.’’ We chose new uniforms and were allowed to ride to games with the team. Screaming on the “Whistle Boom” . . . individual yells for the team and Lois’ ““Come on team, louder,” all recapture the excitement of our excellent school spirit. Our pride in our school and team has manifested itself in our behavior at games. Disappointment over missed foul shots, yes . . . but no boo’s for either team. We accepted referee’s decisions along with lost games, as a step toward taking all of life’s misfortunes with tolerance. We had fun riding to games, singing “Around the Corner” . . . eating potato chips and drinking pop on the bus . . . joking with Pete and Mr. Anderson and compli- j He | a a menting the night’s high scorer.

Conway JAY VEE BASKETBALL With the excellent coaching of Mr. Arlen, the Junior Varsity basketball team proved to be willing—if not able—to conquer all whom they met. What they lacked in height, they made up for in fighting spirit. With the Brusehaber boys as a “secret weapon”... Doug’s ability to make baskets . . . Dave’s interception of passes . Dwight’s fast breaks . . . Jim Harms’s “off the boards”. . . Leroy under the basket .. . and Mr. Arlen’s patient and untiring coaching, the team has a successful year, though not a victorious year. It was a successful year because they learned the meaning of the words cooperation . . . team- work ... patience... . fortitute . . . coordination and perseverance. The Junior Varsity has all the qualifications and talents necessary to take their place as Eden Central School Varsity. ACTION SHOTS Front—J. Harms, W. Rice, R. Hill, L. Landon, Mr. Arlen, R.

Landon SOCCER Fall . . . brisk weather—a little sun . . . games in the rain—even some hail... bring to our minds the soccer season. Highlights of the season were .. . our faithful faculty freezing on benches .. . stray puppies .. . Dick and Luther carried from field shouting “I’m all right coach!’ Maxie boot- ing ball past the center line. Jack and Chet head- ing the ball . . . we remember Mr. Arlen’s pep talk .. . forty-four feet pounding the field... . mud-spattered uniforms ... Tommy scoring dur- ing overtime when it was too dark to see the goal . . . Harry’s brilliant kicking and fast playing ...three defeats...hot showers... cold shower- rooms... treats ... then ‘“‘How about a ride home?” Our sports are wonderful lessons in teaching us how to take all of life’s successes and failures with the right spirit.

CLINIC 68 _ CAFETERIA Busily bustling to prepare food for the cast... drying dishes . . . washing trays... filling salt and pepper shakers ...ladling out hot soup for hungry students who wait longingly in the too slow-moving line... arranging menus for nutritition and variety . . . these are some of the more important jobs of the members of the cafeteria staff.

Beginning with Mrs. Mor- gester, we review twelve years of school. Years of learning and growing . . . years of making new friends and losing old ones .. . years of building a firm foundation. Years influenced by compan- ionships with teachers. To us teachers stand for many things: for knowledge ... patience .. . sympathy . . . and achievements . . .so has Mrs. Weaver in her self summarized for us in our last year the richness of character of all teachers who have endeared themselves to their students. We take this opportunity to tell you how much we valued your patience in helping us to unravel Macbeth, to write term-papers. As Senior advisor your good-judgment aided us in planning our futures and helped us to approach graduation with anticipation and pride, rather than regret and uncertainty. As our chum you laughed and joked, worked and played with us. Throughout the year, you inspired us to make this book what it is. In apppreciation we give to you, Mrs. Weaver, our sincerest thanks for helping us aspire to higher goals, for keeping our spirit up and for filling our Senior year with a host of memories which we shall never forget. 70 ¢ aoe ment L aly ye ; SSS a é S n= Twi =e ry = 1. ee Ces “eh ee WM = Sas SC wo Ae ae —— ke oo ta a ee = sake Wolcott, N he Canned and Frozen Foods Carpenter, P 2) — — =, iel iments of Buntek f Peace Compl Joseph F.
