WE HONOR As we open our Treasure Chest of memories, we recount, Mr. Mergler, your endless and unselfish services to the students and to our community. Our associations with you have been pleasant and will long be remembered. In appreciation for your help, we, the Senior Class of 1949, do dedicate our year- book, The Embers, to you. This is our way of say- ing “thank you.” MR. RICHARD J.

BOARD OF EDUCATION OFFICERS OF BOARD OF EDUCATION John Weinar President George Winter Vice-President Mrs. Doris Smith Robert Brindley The harmony which exists in Eden Central School is due directly to the unselfish and voluntary services of the Board of Education. This educa- tionally-minded group of sponsors has made it possible for us to enjoy life at E.C.S. They are responsible for keeping our school well equipped with all the modern facilities and for employing a patient, well-trained, and understanding faculty. We may look over the fading memories of the past year and, in moments of reminiscence, remember how we rode the busses to out-of-town games—the field trips to Buffalo—movies for assembly—the school dances— social hours—and many other moments of pleasure be- cause of the Board of Education’s liberality. For these many privileges, we wish to express our appreciation. B. A. LEONARD Principal MRS. HASTINGS Secretary 10 | : DONALD J. ANDERSON .

P. T. A. The Parent Teachers Association has once again proved successful in its goal of “pro- moting a better understanding between the community and the school.” Clever programs planned by Mr. Foroscij and his committee were largely responsible for a record mem- bership of 200 parents and teachers and an average meeting attendance of 100. The sched- ule for the year included a fall social, Sister Kenny program, “P.T. A. Night at the Old Schoolhouse,” organ recital, stunt night and lectures. The association assumed the pur- chase of a movie projector and screen for use in the school. It is affiliated with the Na- tional Congress of Parents and Teachers and also participated in the district meetings. The eventful year was pleasantly concluded with a dinner for its members. L. SENIORS SENIOR ADVISOR The Seniors of 1949 have been for- tunate in having Mrs. Pierce as class advisor. Throughout the year she has spent many hours in planning our school careers and has guided us to- ward our goal—graduation. She has instilled in us a desire for better liv- ing and has willingly aided us in coping with our scholastic and per- sonal problems. She is gracious and optimistic, and her sincerity and in- terest in our success is constantly evident. In our treasure chest of memories, we will always cherish the manifold ways in which Mrs. Pierce has de- voted herself as our counselor.

ROSS, Director In years to come we will look back upon our Senior Play with fond remembrances. At the men- tion of “Everything Happens to Us” a hundred cherished thoughts will cross our minds. Right from the beginning, we had fun and learned at the same time. Under the able direction of Mrs. Ross, our play changed from a printed script to a living incident in the life of an American family, with sorrows and fun intermingled. We remember the nights after school rehearsing, munching lunches, and joking. Then suddenly the production was over; the auditorium, empty; but for the cast, there was a warm feeling of success and good fellowship.

SENIORS AT HOME ee, CLASS OF 1950 At the conclusion of the junior year, the Class of 1950 look back with great pride on its accomplishments of the p ast year. Scholastically, the group received a commendable rating in the Iowa tests. Athletically, the members excelled in interscholastic sports, football and basketball and were well represented in the sports band and cheer- leading sections. The high and well-deserved honor of being chosen a member of the S. E. C. Division B All-Star Basketball Team was awarded to James Walker. The social highlight of the year was the glittering Junior Prom, “Winter Rhapsody.” The queen, Shirley Goudy, surrounded by a court of charming attendants and guests, ruled graciously on the throne of blue and white. They have had a ADVISORS AND OFFICERS successful year—one that will long be remembered as the final preparation. With the senior goal at last in view, they are ready to assume new respon- sibilities.

CLASS OF 1951 Well on the road of high school education is the Sophomore Class, whose members have ad- vanced into the subjects of biology, with its plant and animal life, geometry, with its triangles and parallelograms, and English, with its verbs; nouns, gerunds, and “Silas Marner.” The Sophomores have also made many contributions to the social and sports life of our school. The rustic atmos- phere of their dance, “Harvest Time,” is well re- membered by all who attended. Their athletes showed outstanding ability and played on the foot- ball, baseball and junior and senior varsity basket- ball teams. In the field of music, the Sophomores are also prominent—in band, orchestra and chorus. The class was well represented in Student Govern- ment by its capable officers. Along with their activ- ities, many friendships and memorable incidents will be recalled as the Sophomores look back on their days at E.C.S. — i ia } } LT TP Ain; es CLASS OF 1952 The Freshmen, at the beginning of their high school career, pause to acknowledge the assistance that friends, teachers, and their advisors, Mr. Ba- torski and Mr. Lyon, have. rendered them. A great many of the class members have distinguished themselves in the fields of music, athletics, and student government. Early in the year, Sam Cata- pano was elected President of the Junior High Student Association and, with the other Freshmen representatives, satisfactorily filled his job as leader of the Junior High School. Mr. Batorski’s homeroom formed “Club 215” and conducted a questions and answers program similar to the one heard on the radio. A grand prize was awarded at the end of the year to the team with the most points.

Pi. : 3 : 3 % Ne EIGHTH GRADE Originality in composition, square root, study of rock formation, loyalty to the ideals of Ameri- can life—these are a few of the many topics in- cluded in the eighth grade curriculum. Interest in music prompted the Eighth Graders to join orches- tra, chorus and band. Their dramatic abilities were displayed in the book week characterizations and assembly programs. Training in student gov- ernment has also been incorporated in their pro- gram. Sport and social events have been well at- tended by these energetic pupils, who look forward to the day when they will be on the teams and when they will be sponsoring the dances.

One of the most civic-minded and _ patriotic groups in our school was the Seventh Grade. A flag bearer and a color guard had the honor of raising the American flag in front of the building. The purchase of the New York State flag for the school was one of their many projects. Generous contri- butions were made to the Community Chest, March of Dimes, and the Red Cross. In addition to busying themselves with science projects, English book reports, spelling contests, and Americanization essays, the group made field trips to the Museum of Science and to the Buffalo Harbor. At Christmas time they presented a play entitled “Grandfather's Christmas Surprise,” and they also assisted in the Christmas pageant and a Lincoln’s Day program. Opportunities for enrich. ing and expanding social contacts in the seventh grade is provided for by dancing during social hours, home room parties, club programs, self- government organizations and athletic contests. Thus the school was made a satisfying place for girls and boys to work and play.

In science, a variety of bacteria were cultivated in petri dishes. Hamsters, which captivated the interest of the entire school, were raised to further the study of animal life. Punctuation, grammar and sentence structure were taught through the medium of jokes. The study of English also included choral readings and the dramatization of stories read. A mystery play, “Turkey Turns the Table,” was presented in No- vember. In addition to the foregoing, the sixth grade curriculum included health education, directed physical activities, art appreciation and music. 34 FIFTH GRADE Back Row: Frank Ulizzi, David Boiner, David Barr, Robert Kehe, George Zittel, Harold Sheffield, Richard Olin, George Yager.

Customs and habits of various people whom they encountered on their trip were studied. After their visionary trip to Washington and New York, they made clay replicas of the Lincoln Memorial and the Statue of Liberty. Not to be outdone by Broadway, this energetic group presented a play, “The Proud Princess.” While they learned arithmetic, geography, and spelling through games and pictured devices, they busied themselves with work and problems that came within their own personal experiences. 35 Back Row: Miss Wilson, Ralph Smith, Manuel Rivas, James Newkirk, Kenneth Schmitt, Robert Rubeck, May- lon Smith, Joseph Sparacio, Eugene Stegmeier, Richard Zulick, James Miller, Allen Schmitt, Michael Ulizzi, Ed- ward Ott, Robert Yager.

A story from their readers, “The Princess Who Could Not Cry,” was written into a play and drama- tized. By exchanging letters with pupils from Africa, South America, and England, they learned how children in other lands live, work, and. play. In science, their attention was directed to observation of the sun, moon, planets, and stars. They learned also about magnets and their power of attraction. 36 Back Row: George Guenther, Marvin Horton, Kenneth Karr, Charles Vara, Paul Ten Hoopen, Donald Williams, Herbert Jacobson, Melvin Gehl, Mansur Benson, Mrs. Blakely.

A total registration of ninety-one pupils in the Third Grade necessitated dividing the class into three groups. This grade, therefore, has the distinction of being the largest in the school. Correlating art with social studies, the pupils made lanterns when studying China and tulips and flower pots for their Holland project. The living and eating habits of land and water animals were studied—squirrels’ hunting for nuts—beavers’ building dams—woodchucks’ and bears’ preparing for hibernation. Hu- mane education included the caring for and feeding of their own pets, and of surrounding birds and animals that cannot obtain food during the winter months. od SECOND GRADE Back Row: Lucille Zynda, Ronald Fuller, Carol Kasin- ski, Gertrude Batorski, Paul Neidermeyr, Richard Shef- field, Linda Piller, Patricia Cheman, Joanne Hodgson, David Morris, Melanie Wal- ther.

They dis- covered the values of co-operation by adapting themselves to the methods of working as a class unit. This was exemplified by their excellent performance of their Christmas play, “Santa’s Toy Shop.” In addition to the three R’s, a farm unit w as prepared. A roadside stand was built and all their vege- tables were exhibited. Then came a study of community helpers, which included the milkman, store- keeper, doctor and mailman. They even had a post office from which they mailed their valentines. 38 Back Row: Michael Mrgich, Jacob Sheflin, How- ard Blatenberg, Gary Ostran- der, Ronald Richardson, David Walker, James Merchant, Donald Williams, Douglas Mashke, Paul Kirst, Mrs. Morgester.

At any time of day one could see a first grader looking at pictures or reading. Later, the two classes exchanged books, thus having access to many more stories.

Everything must have a beginning and the beginning of a formal education usually commences in the kindergarten. Before entering school, these little children did nothing but play for most of the day. Through activities suited to their ages, they have learned to work and play together. Their trip to the Hamburg Post Office proved very exciting, and upon returning to their classroom they duplicated the post office in a model for their own use. The Christmas cookies, butter and applesauce which they made pleased the palate of everyone in kindergarten. 40 SUSPENSE wrs.oasH AL ieee ss SAMTA'S TOY SHOP DOWN MAIL CALL Ane BY THE STATION TOUCHING UP eg vid GUESS WHO FEROCIOUS | MISS PHILLIPS —-—=—- $0 8 é@ OL AT WORK This year, the English classes endeavored to acquire better means of self- expression through grammar, literature, spelling, compositions and essays.

VARSITY FOOTBALL Our venture into the third season o f football was a success in the opinion of Coach Batorski, in spite of the fact that the. squad lacked experience and depth. The “T” formation to which the team responded enthusiastically functioned well most of the season, es- pecially during the Blasdell game. Sloan was limited to one touchdown, and the Raiders nearly swept Clarence off the field with their deceptive plays. The hard, clean play and fast aggres- sive spirit of the squad as they per- formed throughout the season will long be remembered. The forthcoming year promises a better seasoned team with added power.

EMEA CK VARSITY BASKETBALL The highlight of the Eden sports’ program this year was the fine shfowing of the team in interscholastic basketball. Coach Dan Hagen performed a super- lative job in his first year. Led by captain James Landon, the Maroon Raiders were able to win eight out of ten league games to finish in second place. Eden defeated North Collins by score of 56 to 36, to run up one of the biggest scores in Eden history. The home game with Blasdell was a real thriller. The scoring repeatedly changed, with Blasdell finally winning 33 to 32. This tied Eden with Woodlawn for first place. The two teams remained deadlocked until the final game of the season, when Eden journeyed to Woodlawn, fought a gallant battle, and suc- cumbed to the opposition 45 to 36. In spite of the fact that six star players, W. Ensign, W. Feasley, D. Krohn, J. Landon, B. Parmelee and D. Thompson are leaving this year, prospects for next year’s team are bright. Landon’s record of 228 points in 18 games will long be remembered by Eden sports’ fans. 48 | The Junior Cheerleaders under the direction of Miss Kleinsang proved themselves leaders in stimulating school spirit among the spectators and encouragement ‘or the players. The Jay Vee team under the watchful eyes ) of Coach Batorski enjoyed a very successful | season. This team, composed entirely of | Freshmen and Sophomores, made an envious | record of nine wins and one loss against other | B school competition. The rhythmic work of G. Schmittendorf, J. Strawbrich, W. Euler, W. Bird, C. Smith, G. Winter made them, at times, look like seasoned performers. They are truly a credit to the school and a good investment for future varsity teams. ——-- es “uv Ae i aie ¢ ene eek: eee Sete ey Be, % + Back Roi: Coach Batoreki, C. Winter, G Smith, R. Pryor, W.

The Junior High teams were the most avid enthusiasts. They started out by playing line soccer. As the season progressed, they played basket- ball, volleyball, and softball. Each game was played with the will to win and the ability to accept defeat. The Senior High girls varied their activities. A doubles badminton tourna- j ment was held, and then, working in unison with the boys’ intramurals, they staged a mixed doubles tournament. | N. Yeager, R. Kaminski, M. Bruns, I. Krycia, J.

STAGE CREW In the production of 4 play, it is not always the ac- tors who are responsible for an outstanding performance. Working like beavers behind the scenes, Mr. Mergler and his crew set the stage for many performances such as the Senior Play, Christmas Pageant, the Spring Concert and the Operetta. TWENTY QUESTIONS The Twenty Questions Club, based on the radio program, is a challenge to the students to develop their reasoning powers of associa- tion by ‘“‘pinning’’ their thoughts ‘down to a succes- sion of questions of elimina- tion. Two assembly pro- grams were conducted by the club. ARTS AND CRAFTS Any Junior or Senior high school student possessing an interest in art may join the Arts and Crafts Club. The projects are determined by individual interests; al- though, group work is also done.. Paper mache masks, puppets, fashion drawings in water color, and _ pastel renderings of various sub- jects are a few of their proj- ects this year. F.FLA. The aim of the F. F. A. is to develop leadership among its members. This year’s ac- tivities included a speaking contest, the annual father and son banquet, initiation, basketball games with other F.F.A. chapters, radio broadcasts, and a dairy man- agement contest. Seeds were sold and two hundred baby chicks were raised and mar- keted in the spring. F.H.A. “Service to the community and school” is the motto of the F.H.A. Baskets were distributed to the needy, and parties were given for those students excelling in class effort. Funds for these projects were raised by sell- ing refreshments at home games and sponsoring a movie in March. 4-H CLUB The 4-H Club of Eden Central School consists of pupils from grades five through eight. During their regular meetings the mem- bers learned how to tie knots, take care of chickens, and judge dairy cattle. Their projects and handicraft will be exhibited at the Erie County Fair next summer. P. Turnbull; G. Dobeicz, T. Rice, R. Gehl, B. Mammoser, R. Bullied, J. Eichler, D. Lamb. A. cer, B.

A word of credit goes to Ellen for her executive ability, to Jack for his sports’ reports and to the Secretarial Practi ce Class which typed the copy. ADVERTISING AND CIRCULATION Lead by Gerald Neifer, the circulation staff con- ducted an effective campaign to promote the sales of the “Embers.” Joe Hering and his advertising committee so- licited many advertisements from our patrons. Much of the financial success of the “Embers” was due to the un- tiring efforts of these two staffs. ART AND PHOTOG- RAPHY Many of the informal pic- tures throughout the “Em- bers” were taken by Richard Bullied, our camera man. Also worthy of the recogni- tion are the drawings by Louise Reed and her art staff who have effectively carried out the theme of the annual. Both jobs required patience, diligence and skill. . | . . | | | ) LIBRARY STAFF “Reading is like a key which admits us to a world of thought, fancy, and imag- ination.” Our library houses all types of instructional aids, displays, and shelves and shelves of books. Mrs. Buchholz, with her staff of student helpers, ably assists pupils in the selection of reading material. BOYS' SPORTS CLUB The Sports Club contin- ued to carry on its fine work in the field of sports. Its members never lost interest in their work and they un- dertook many projects. They sold tickets before basket- ball games and again do- nated the “Best Athlete of the Year” trophy to the ath- lete they thought most worthy of the honor. ATHLETIC COUNCIL The Athletic Council is a service organization seeking to make the administration of sports competition as ef- ficient and free from mis- understanding as_ possible. Its purpose is to handle the affairs of all sports activities in the high school and to encourage healthy and maxi- mum participation in sports. 67 Ps an Le Bas P.

Well-balanced lunches are served daily for three lunch periods. Students who pur- chase the plate lunch each day at reduced cost benefit by the State Aid Program, which demands a_ planned and adequate luncheon. BUS DRIVERS Every schoolday through- out the year, ten dependable bus drivers. under the super- vision of Mr. Anderson, con- vey approximately 800 stud- ents to and from school safely and on time. Many times they are called upon to drive for special occa- sions, such as games and field trips. The bus drivers are always ready and will- ing to perform this service. CUSTODIANS No school can operate ef- ficiently without the help of the maintenance men. Our janitorial staff includes Harry Rice, Len Shouldice, Howard Kinn, William Knoll, and Richard Szalas- ny, who contribute greatly toward keeping our building and grounds neat and clean. Thanks are also due them for performing duties not included in their usual daily schedule. Miss Gressman, James Agle, Dr. Martin, James Potter. George Machmer, John Hammond, Gary Messer. F.M.A. DINNER CLINIC The clinic is the health cen- ter of our school. Miss Gress- man, the school nurse, checks on the daily absentees, and she also administers to the stu- dents’ immediate health needs. Yearly auditory tests, physical examinations, and smallpox and diphtheria immunization clinics are conducted to safe- guard the pupils’ health. The aim of our school clinic is to promote good health in our school. MRS. TINELLA D. RICE ADVISOR As the lid closes on our Treasure Chest of Memories for 1949, we pause to thank you, Mrs. Rice, for your competent assistance as advisor of our annual, “The Embers.” Words cannot express the gratitude we feel. Your untiring effort and unending patience were appreciated by all who worked with you; you per- formed many services as supervisor of our newspaper, “The Tower,” and co-advisor of the Commercial Club; you gave unselfishly of your time, though your class schedule was filled to capacity. You have spent many hours with the staff, making this book representa- tive of our school and its personnel. We earnestly hope that you share with us the satisfaction of a job well done. ts of BANK OF GOWANDA Com plimen Eden Branch EDEN, NEW YORK 71 BRAYMILLER'S VEGETABLE MARKET BLUEBIRD Laundry and Cleaners Dry Cleaning — Rug Cleaning Laundry — Hat — Clothing 373 PLEASANT AVE.
