Into this yearbook have gone the greatest efforts of each of us. Our work has been inspired by their teachings. It is with the great- est pride that we, the Seniors. .Class of ’50. .inscribe this dedication into our year book........ .....To Miss Montemuro and Mr. Allen whose undying faith has spurred us on to what we consider our greatest accomplishment.OUR YEARBOOK. • two Board of Education, left to right- Mr. I.con Weiss, Mr. Louis Perlstein, Mr. Harold Cnuthers Mr. Stanley Target!, Mr. Benjamin Cosor, Mr. l azarus Irvine, Mrs. Genevieve Rosens trains, Mr. Bernard Kitias, Mr. Alex Sakofsky.

Grade Teachers These are our grade school teachers. To them we shall he eternally indebted for the guidance and help in our early school days. It is in those first years at school that the child's character and personality begin to develop and take definite trends. It is the grade school teacher who can help shape the child’s personality and help him to develop wholesome character traits. Now we fully realize the tremendous job our grade school teachers have done for us, and we are profoundly grateful. We therefore take this opportunity to express our humble thanks. • five Ethel G erst man — English Department Eugene Feldman — English Department Helen Greenberg — Social Studies Department Nathan Weiss — Social Studies Department Morris Gerber — Social Studies Department Harry Dickenson — Social Studies Department Elizabeth L.

As graduates, you face a world that is in a constant state of flux. Never before in the history of man has it been necessary for the youth of our nation to have a more sober and scientific attitude toward all things. We find the world, today, torn between ideologies of a conflicting nature. We find men’s passions and ideas constantly being aroused. I would like to give you this bit of advice. You must learn to understand before you judge. You must get the facts before you form an opinion. You must learn to respect the other fellow for his opinion, and you must, above all, remember that we are all human beings, if we wish to make a better place to live in. I hope that the school has helped you on the road towards this end. I wish you well, and I wish you strength and courage and good hearts. • eight LEON J.

First of all— twenty-one JL CL Wi{{ We, the Seniors of Fallsburgh Central School, in this yenr of cur Lord, 1950, being of sound mind and body, and standing at the brink of the unknown future, do declare this our last will and testament. We sincerely hope that these things wh’ch we leave to you, will be appreciated, and will help you to gain access to the high ledge of learning we have so easily scaled. We hope with al. our hearts that you will profit by the shining example we have displayed before you. Leon “Spike” Barsky leaves his spectacular “lindy routines” to Gary Ledcrman so that he too may be the life of the party. His baseball uniform and position (good old second baseman) he leaves to Harold Anderman who hopes to make use of them in the near future.

Her stubborn streak, Joan refuses to leave behind. Seymour “Sigh” Friedlander leaves his wonderful athletic ability to Martin Handlesman. His office as G. O. President he wills to “Yitz” Kantrowitz in the hope that he may fulfill it. His skillfully acquired air of nonchalance he bequeathes to James McKiernan. We cannot persuade Anna “Trigger” Hallenback to leave her radiant Roy Rog- ers to any arrogant female, so Anna happily departs from school. However. Anna does will a bottle of peroxide to anyone who admires her golden tresses. Belma “Red” “Stretch” Weiner leaves her hard boiled egg (her usual lunch) to Arlene Gingold. Her excellence in sports she leaves to Ruth Weinstein. Her “faithful flute” she leaves to Mr. Hertz and her marvelous musical talent to F,!i Primack. Her varsity cheering uniform plus the split is left to anybody with the nerve to take them.

For some reasons, Barbara is intent on taking with her a certain crush for some teacher and Gene Autry. Irving “Weaser Jones” Podhurst leaves his height to Herbert Saperstein, who. he is sure, will appreciate it. His hook shot he leaves to “Hetz” Ackerly in the hope dial it will help F. C. S. Irene “Inkspots” Nussenfeld bequethes her cute giggle to Ann Keiles. her oetit.e- ness to Gene Smith, and her flare for letter writing in study halls to Rita Tevclo- witz.

Her sparkling personality and winning ways she leaves to Sylvia Gerst- man. Her excellent reputation as a hard wort er she leaves to next year’s Senior Class ; may it help them to get to Washington. No. girls, she’s not leaving Johnny! I Helene “Friend to all Mresse calmly hands down her quietness in English class to Gloria Kass.

F,!aine“ Koky Kulbitsky donates her exceptional scholastic ability to TTesli An- dertnan. Her Varsity Cheering uniform, after four long years of use, she leaves to next year’s Varsity Cheerleaders. She does not care to “Will” anything to anybody ... .she’s taking him with her(for luck). Jeanette “Jenny” And resky leaves her “old flame” to the Woodburn girls; her height to Jeannette Kozachuk. and her shorthand problems to Miss Gillis along with her job as G. O. Secretary to Harriet Schweid. She refuses to leave her won- derful sports ability. • twenty-thr e THE CLASS WILL Ralph “Wolfe” (that’s my middle name) Rengis leaves his corner of the art room.......right where it it. His artistic talent he bequeathes to Charlotte Basner (just a little something to remember me by). His jet black curls he refuses to leave to anyone......“A mad artist is conceivable, but not a bald one”. Myron “Ronnie” Forint leaves his marks, excellent behavior, and his lack of in- difference to the fairer sex to Sammy Ennis.

Suzanne “Suzie” Neiderman leaves her rather infamous walk to Helene Hart- man. Her lovely voice and “come hither” look she leaves to next year’s Senior girls.

The Senior Class accounts, she leaves for her successor to straighten out. Her terrific English marks she leaves to Morty “Dupie’ Jacobs who can make good use of them. (Right, Dupie?)

His masterful stride and deep baritone voice he leaves to Chesty Braver. Zelda “Little Genius” Kaczer leaves her high average to those who try as hard as she did for it; her place behind the candy counter to Rita Tevelowitz. She wishes to donate her many happy (???) hours in French III to Richie Rosen, in hopes that he will enjoy (???) it as much as she did. Leona “Lee” Wortsman leaves her house open (as usual) in case anyone wants to watch television (the refrigerator is almost always full). Lee leaves her lovely long fingernails to Sheila Seleznow (they work wonders in a basketball game). Her knack for throwing parties she leaves to Rosalyn Jaffe who may or may not use it. Dorothy “Noieless” DePuv leaves her quietness to Tork as a slight hint. Her job of collecting the Times Money, she willingly leaves to Mr. Gerber to add to his troubles.

For future success, he takes with him his dancing ability and brown specs. After much persuasion, Bernard “Nature Boy” Cooper has graciously agreed to leave his greatest asset, his corny jokes, to Herbie Goldstein; his perfect elocution and ability to remain awake in class to Tucker Wright, and to any ambitious stu- dent, his newly discovered talent for water painting. Leo “Shorty” DeGraw hands down to all future FCS basketball players his “swishy” set shots. To Walter Enoch he leaves his unassuming ways and with a sigh of relief he leaves FCS. Melinda “Slim” Moore leaves her diligence in commercial subjects to Gloria Kass; her cooking ability she bequeathes to Ellen Levine in hopes that some day she, too, will perfect the fine arts of cookery. Under no conditions, though, does she agree to leave her love, for Slim. Paul “Pike” Bernstein has graciously consented to leave his curly hair to Air. Beytin. (We wonder why?) Llis fondness for wine, women, and song he refuses to leave, because he feels that he knows how to “get more out of them ’ than any- one else Stanley “Romeo” Klein bequeathes his much worn razor to Ralph Alper to help discourage any desires which the latter may have for a moustache.

The time was 4:00 A. M. and the everfaithful school bus was already making the rounds to pick up a motley crew of seniors and transport us to our train in Middle- town. We weren t long out of Mountaindale when Ola brought out the chicken. At 5 :15 A. M. Chicken!!! Then came Irma’s matza sandwiches. Finally, on fairly filled stomachs, we settled down to plan our escapades. The bus pulled into Middletown 20 minutes ahead of time, which was most un- usual. Some took this opportunity to get some hot coffee and a quick bite. (What! More food?) Then we were joined by Ellenville, who took the complete trip with 11s. We all boarded our special coach and were off ! At Newark, with the aid of a detective, we changed trains with just enough time to squeeze in a quick snack. lt‘s 7:3° now and we’ve alreary devoured a chicken, some sandwiches, hot dogs, etc. To some (need we mention names) it looked like we would have a “tasty” trip. After five hours of gabbing, card-playing, and eating (for a change) we arrived at Union Station, which some fellows had hoped would be Union City. After check- ing into the ritzie Carlyle Hotel, our new home, we examined our rooms and argued as to who had the nicest and most convenient one. But, they all served their purpose. (Need we say more?) It was early afternoon when we visited the Franciscan Monastery. Here we gathered our first bits of Washington knowledge and souvenirs. During our first meal at the hotel we were introduced to the Carlyle’s famous all purpose sauce. After this dinner, we attended the Gaiety Theatre to see “Streetcar Named Desire . (What a play! What a play! What a play ?) Some, who were still able, walked back to the hotel, thus ending our first day in Washington. Tuesday morning we traveled through North-west Washington, observing the Jefferson Memorial, inspecting the Rock Creek Park Zoo, and witnessing the dramatic “changing of the guard at the Tomb of the Unknown Soldier. During lunch, we had another treat ol the Carlyle’s famed sauce, along with our unforget- able first encounter with “Our Southern Belles”. That afternoon we toured the Pan-American Building, inspected the Folger- Shakespearian Library and examined every nook and cranny of our Capitol. (By the way, it needs dusting.) On the House floor (Representatives, that is) we wit- nessed a “red-hot” debate. What a time we had keeping Marty’s two cents out! • twenty-eight WASHINGTON TRIP The evening was spent at the movies, where we saw either “The Yellow Cab Man’’ or “Three Came Home”. Afterwards, some visited the sophisticated Lotus Club. Here, the fellows were teamed up with our southern friends, .belles from Georgia. Fllenville, and last but not least, our own girls from South Fallsburg. (How did they get in this? The Woodridge girls (Katie, Dot, Irma, and Elaine), were at Luigi’s having Pizza and beer. (What else) Since that was the last night in Washington for the southern girls (all good things come to an end), there was a party on the hotel balcony. Some stayed after the party to turn the Carlyle into a gambling joint with an all night card game. Touring all day wasn’t enough for some of the girls. They had to drag it through the night, too. Some of them could be seen in the halls gabbing at any hour. Still others insisted on sending smoke signals from one room to another. These same girls suddenly discovered that Ellenville is on the map, too. Right, Joanie? A couple of hours later (or should we say after the card game) a few hands and a few dollars were missing. Appropriately enough, we next inspected the F. B. I. Building where some of us were rudely awakened by the sound of machine gun bullets. Smithsonian Institute was our next stop. Here we scrutinized each exhilrt to enhance our intellectual minds. (We must be kidding.) After lunch (which again featured Carlyle sauce), we invaded Mt. Vernon. Here we became familiar with our first President’s “Hunting Grounds”. We viewed the majestic Potomac, fringed with lovely, budding, cherry blossoms. We stopped at the National Airport where Cy and the girls were restrained from taking off in an airplane. When we returned to the Carlyle, we caught a glimpse of Mr. Longo running into his room to soak his blistered feet in a cup of hot water. We also heard some wonderful excuses from the “sick boys” who missed the tour. After all, someone had to bid Juliane, Nancy, and Martha goodbye, and who could do it better: That night, we visited the breath-taking Lincoln Memorial, all aglow under bril- liant lights. Here many a voice cracked as we stood and repeated Lincoln’s own immortal words. (The greatest was when someone attempted to snap Lincoln’s pic- ture. Because of the long focusing, she was asked if she was waiting for Lincoln to crack a smile. “Shonoff’ was her reply.) Later that evening, we visited the beautiful Library of Congress. We did?? Here everyone was looking for historical documents. Except three boys, who were just looking for just three girls. Still later, many farewell parties took place in various rooms at the hotel. You could see Cooper. Klein, Roth, and Bengis matching one for one until the wee small hours of the morning. That was the night Mr. Feldman walked the halls looking for “staggering strays” and Mr. Longo knocked on Mr. Feldman s door ... .“just checking” • twenty-nine WASHINGTON TRIP On our last morning in Washington, the wonderful living took its toll on the sleep-expendable seniors. About one fourth remained sleeping peacefully in bed, while the rest ascended the 981 steps of the W ashington Monument, where Irene and Jenny were struck with nose-bleeds. When they came back “down to earth”, they were fascinated bv the bales of money in the Treasury Building. There were signs on these bales which read “Please do not touch ’. (Wonder whv!) Much to our regret, no samples were being given out. Our informative guide told the group that it costs the government one dollar to make singles. The tour seemed to be cut short when Boo exclaimed “Put in a 810 order for me” (What a sport!) We returned to the hotel to pack and have our last meal and our last taste of sauce. What a pity......about the sauce, I mean. We checked out and started on our “long voyage home”. Alan I urner, Stan Roth, end Suz:e Neiderman were among those seniors who had enough stamina (and cabbage) to visit New York City. Leona Wortsman and the President ( of F. C. S., of course) were “smothered” in deep conversation. Jenny. Abe, and Barbara engaged in a tine game of Canasta while Kat;e, Elaine, and ( y wert having a hilarious time which led to recurring water difficulties. Meanwhile Dotty slept peacefully dreaming of........(we wonder whom!!!!) Our chaperones were unapproachable lor they were peacefully dreaming of the next few days which would be spent in bed resting. We knew our trip was coming to a final close when Katie and Ola had a last and final argument. We now wish to thank Mr. Weiss, Mr. Blumberg. our chaperones; Mr. and Mrs. Kidman and Mr. Longo, the Board of Education, and all the others who made this most enjoyable trip possible. It has become a memory which we shall never forget. • thirty Prophecy of Class of 50 The 'Time....-.................Fall of 2,050 A. D The Thee .......................... Heaven’s Gate The Problem........................Who will get in The Scene ................. courtroom on a Cloud We hear the familiar, confident voice of that well-renowned defense attorney, Martin Proyect. Mr. Proyect is the former Philadelphia Lawyer who with his tricky court tactics, freed 976 criminals in succession. Tie is in constant danger of eradication by public officials because of his subversive activities. Mis bodyguard is a former southern belle well known for a quick trigger-finger. Now Mr. Proyect is pleading the case of Miss Suzanne Neiderman. Susie, as you will recall, was the star of the “Follies of the Pifties . After smashing all known box office records, she acouired tremendous following. Of all her beaus, she couldn’t decide on a husband. Finally, she stuck to her motto, “Why make one man miserable when I can keep them all happy?” Now her problem is in the hands of the jury (consisting of twelve men). The stern faced judge, the Hon. Abraham Primack. looks through his big black book at the next case. Judge Primack, who was accidently electrocuted when his radio fell into the bath-tub. has been on his throne for 29 years. It is a fact that he still hasn’t told a lie. No doubt that’s why his intimate friends speak of him as “Honest Abe”. He sees that next on trial is the former Elaine Kulbitsky. Elaine has made quite a reputation as the reviser of Freud’s theories. For the past two years, she has settled down and become the brains behind the Wump Wump Plumbing Works. Just by pressing a button, she controls millions of workers (that is, besides the boss, Mr. Wump Wump himself). • thirty-one PROPHECY OF CLASS OF '50 - - - Assisting her is the resourceful Dorothy Mednick. Dot is captain of the tele- phone, stenography, and typing departments. She is engaged to a worker on the Earth-Heaven Telephone and 'Telegraph Lines. They have been engaged for 17 years but can’t be married until he returns from his last job. It is rumored that he is stuck up on some telephone pole. Dot pays 110 attention to hearsay and goes faith- fully about her work. Walking down the Court aisle is Dr. Albert Siegler. Dr. Siegler has invented that new device for carrying food around wherever you go. Now, he is specializing in women (professionally... .that is). The main reason he has trouble getting into heaven is incessant committal of bigamy. He has “contacts” with girls from New York City. Ellenville, and Mountaindale. The judge looks tired now and calls for his chauffeur to take his daily tour of earth. Behind the wheel of the big black sedan, we see Leon Barsky. Leon or Spike, as he is more popularly known, is doing penance. While starring for the Dodgers, he was called out on strikes. 'Phis was the only time such a thing had happened to Spike. In a moment of extreme rage, he killed the umpire. This is the fourth year that Spike has spent as a chauffeur in the attempt to atone for his sin. For some rea- son, the Judge still thinks he should repent, and he keeps putting Spike off with the Old Dodger saying “Wait till next year”. As we look more closely at the sedan, we see it is no ordinary car. It is one of those super models designed by the peerless engineer. Art Sargent. Boo has made a fortune on the special design and is relaxing at home. He had no desire to go to heaven, so he went in the other direction and now lives on his plantation in Camilla, Georgia. Now the car with die ludge and Chauffeur starts on the Earth-Heaven Highway (also designed by Mr. Sargent). Midway between the two places, the car passes through the quiet little villge of Middletown. Here, we see the most successful school of the past century. 'Phe principal, Karolyn Friedman, has made many rev- olutionary changes: among these.. .the abolition of Chemistv and Plane Geometry from the school curriculum. Miss Friedman has also installed a system which solved many problems. If two people from different schools (take Woodridge and Middletown, for example) become close friends, it is now possible to transfer them for mutual convenience. • thirty-two • thirty-three Now stepping onto the court-cloud is Barbara Moskalick. She has become the most famous ham on television. Her program, a tearjerker, “Ah, Sweet Mystery of Life” may be seen each week over WFCS and WFCS-FM. Surely Barbara de- serves a pink cloud to recline on......Or don’t you think??? The next trial, a doubleheader, is that of Stan Klein and Pike Bernstein. Of course you are familiar with their name.........connoiseurs of fine wine and fine women. Their famous motto.. “We test both”, .has made millions for their part nership. Klein heads the Model Agency, Bernstein in the Brewery. Will the Gates be opened to them? PROPHECY OF CLASS OF '50 - - - Now. the judge notices the exquisitely designed scenery bordering the highway. With the aid of supernatural gifts, the former artists of F. C. S., Irma Nishman and Ralph Bengis, have combined their talents to produce seas of grass, blue clouds, and golden sun-rays. These are operated by remote control which leaves Ralph and Irma plenty of time to experiment with their new fad, Ultra-Modern design. As the planet Larth is neared, strange tones greet the ear. As these tones become more audible, we realize they must come from the magic fingers of Belma Weiner. Belma is completing her musical tour of the world with her final appearance at Weiner Hall. In her spare time, Belma has managed to organize a small band which plays at Junior Proms all through the country. This has been of great assistance to befuddled Junior classes when prom time comes along. Now, looming in sight is a magnificent building. It is the Wheezer Mattress Fac- tory. From this factory come no ordinary mattresses as the Mattress-Magnate, Mr. Irv Podhurst, will verify. Thcv are filled with air and are collapsible mattresses that is. You will remember that Mr. Podhurst is also the athlete who set up the semi-pro basketball scoring record while he was playing for the original Woodridge Steamrollers. Back at court, we see the next case is that of Helene Mresse. Helene is a noted historian and expert on facts and figures.... (hmmmm ) She is the proud posses- sor of the Irving Stewart Levine Sportsmanship cup. left by the millionaire sports- man, Irving Stewart Levine III, Esquire, Inc. The jury listens patiently as she tells of her 2=; years of teaching history and her pet troublesome pupil. .. .Moose Gerber, Jr. For putting up with him, she deserves mercy, but what about her four husbands ? PROPHECY OF CLASS OF '50 - - - We hear the thunder of six guns and we know the next defendent can be none other than Anna “Trigger” Hallenbeck. Ann’s life on the range has been a blaze of glory. Her wealthy husband owns oil wells, cattle ranches, and a motion picture studio. Ann’s twin sons, Roy and Kenny, are both famous western movie stars. We feel (or is it she who feels?) that her many hours in the saddle make her deserving of a soft, soft cloud to rest on. The two ladies now on trial are known the heavenly world over. After spending 18 years at a Parisian College perfecting their French accent, they rocked the wot Id by starting a “Speak English or Die” crusade on the French Rivera. By now you must recognize them as Zelda Kaczer and Shirley Lupton. What happened after the crusade? Well. Miss K. settled down with her tall, dark Frenchman and raised a family of six; while Miss Lupton, finding France fruitless, returned to Ellenville and true happiness. Suddenly, a ringing telephone reminds us of another member of the Class of ’50. It is. as we have guessed, the former Melinda Moore. Melinda has led a very suc- cessful life. .. .for 16 consecutive years she has been voted “Most Popular Chief Operator” of the Earth-Heaven Telegraph and Telephone Company. However, we all know that even in the year 2050, the most important thing in Melinda’s life is “her Slim”. The trial of Stanley Roth and Ronnie Forim is brief, for these two scientists have had their story told on many a front page. Stanley’s greatest contribution to humanity was his chemical combination, which, when fed to chickens, will increase daily egg production to 50 per chicken. What’s more, they have unbreakable shells His huge supply of money means nothing to him. lie calls it “chicken feed”. We’re all familiar with Ronnie’s invention, a camera that takes pictures without film. (What next?) His new drug, “Forim’s Little Lever Pill” is good for whatever ails you (even teachers). thirty-four PROPHECY OF CLASS OF '50 - - - A pounding is heard on the court-door and Bernard Cooper, mad artist and pauper of Greenwich Village, marches in. Our well-dressed “man about town” known for his philosophy “Who needs it?” finally came to the conclusion that “He needs it”. He is nervously awaiting the outcome of the trial for it is rumored that Coop has some scantily dressed (dressed?) models in his studio. From a hole in the cloud, we behold a loud shriek accompanied by a series of gig- gles. All eyes turn to gaze upon a jumble of mink, bones, and a hank of hair. It is none other than Irene Nuttenfeld. Miss Nuttenfeld (who has finally changed her name) has become a multimillionheiress. She now resides with her more recent husband (the sucker) along Park Avenue. Waaaaa! A penetrating wail from a far corner and a blushing young woman, whom we recognize as the former Joan I.aPolt. She apologizes “If you’ll pardon me, it’s Butch’s feeding time.” Joan’s motto “Stay single, stay healthy” will surely be handed on to her 7 children. Seated directly opposite her on a willowy cloud is Dorothy DePuy. Dorothy is distinguished from the crowd by her white cap and uniform. Miss DePuy has reached the peak of her nursing career and now is Hospital Administrator at Belle- vue. Rumor has it that a certain young intern is in close pursuit of this famous, attractive nurse. Two late clefendents, Professors David Kotin and Leo DeGraw, (both out- standing speakers) now enter. This twosome has maintained a close friendship al- though competition between them is keen. Mr. DeGraw has recently won an award in an oratorical contest speaking on “Why Men Are Shy ?!” Mr. Kotin is proudly sporting a new wife whose name we shall not mention at present. • • thirty-five PROPHECY OF CLASS OF '50 - - - Before the next offender takes the stand, our two cloud-to-cloud salesmen, Jean- nette Andresky and Barbara McCarthy breeze in. We perceive Barbara (now Mrs. “Beans”). Both voting ladies have made careers as “saintless salesman’. Miss Andre- sky is too busy discussing her “Cheaper By the Dozen” theory to say hello to her former friends.. Incidentally, or should we say accidently, she has just received her driving license. Beware!!! “All right, Men! Synchronize your watches!!!” Without turning around, we know it is the gallant Dr. Alan Turner. Now happily married. Alan is one of the better known psychiatrists of N. Y. State. Excluding a rapidly receding hairline. Dr. Turner seems in the pink of health, and will cheerfully analyze any moron in exchange for one good joke. The judge breathes a sigh of relief as his private secretary, Joan Carr, enters the room. A low whistle re-echoes the four walls. Miss “Better-late-than-never” Carr, now an efficient secretary, slinks down the aisle and takes her usual seat in the Judge’s lap! Joan’s motto “A little flirt never hurt!” The outcome of these trials seems quite evident but we shall leave the final ver- dict up to you, the jury. Now you the readers shall judge... .for those for whom you have no hope, there will be an elevator boy (a Mr. Feldman) quoting for the last time, “Tiger, Tiger burning bright, in the forests of the night.” The judge, after such a long, tedious day at court, stepped wearily into his car. “Step' on the gas !”he shouts. The car zooms off down the street. Suddenly, the car screeches to a dead stop! After the judge collects his wits, he sees that the chauffeur just managed to miss six little girls playing with rabbits in the middle of the street. Everything, the judge discovers, are the products of Leona Wortsman and Sy Friedlander. The rabbits are specimans obtained from Mr. Friedlander’s experi- ments. Leona (who at one time made it a habit of being seen with presidents. . . .of various sorts) has an excellent background as a nurse, which has helped Sy consid- erably. Together, they have added a new chapter to the epic “Cheaper by the Doz- en”. It seems that the happy couple has followed the rabbit example in their own case of propagating of the species. We wonder if their brood will ever equal the number of rabbits they have for pets. • thirty-six • thirty-seven Standing- Isadoio Zalkin, Treasurer: Ralph Alpcr, Treasurer: Gary l.cderman, President: Libby .lollV, Secretary. Kneeling Arthur Burns, Pres!dent. The Junior Class The class of ’51 learned an exciting new lesson during the past year: High School doesn’t really start for the student until he reaches his junior year. The Juniors never before had experienced such a pro- fusion of activities! Such social excitement! The year started placidly enough. The first substantial Junior activity was the class assembly program. Rather than give the routine, run-of- the-mill living room comedy, the frivolous fifty-oner’s pre- sented something excitingly original—an old fashioned Gay Nineties Revue, complete with heart-appealing ballads and a cheer-the-hero hiss-the-villian melodrama: and a Musicale, Sigmund Romberg’s “The Student Prince” in full costume. setting and reprise. The second memorable activity was the receiving of the class rings. Upperclassmen agreed that they were in a class by themselves. Then, of course, came the Junior Prom, the most memor- able of all Junior Proms. Again, ingenuity and originality took reign to wind up a joyous Junior year. Next— Libby JolTe, Rita Tevelowitz.

Forging ahead under the supervision of Mr. Milton Brizel and Mr. Ward Young, the mighty Sophs placed many, on the J. V. cheerleader and Varsity squads, and uphold the name of Fallsburgh Central School at Monti- oello, while presenting the Duso One Act Play. “The Bracelet.” Although wandering off course at times, the class’s courage was once more restored when they were allowed to attend the Junior Prom, knowing that the Sophomores were looked upon as triumphant Sophomores, by the upperclassmen. • thirty-nine Top Row Michael Finkelstein, Aaron Podhurst, Eli Primack, Alan Fiiulling, Jack DcGraw, Cara Schoonover, Gary Cliernow, Monty Steingart, Leo Devore Next -Robert Malign, Phylis Turner, Loivtta Elliott, Constance Posner, Harriet Mogolowitz, Olga Cherviok, Arthur Cole, Charles Stieglitz, Norman Klein, Jay Dobbs, Vincent Skowron, Fred Comfort, Alan Sussnum Next Wesley Cooke, Doris Ix we, Rose Marie Fcnn, Dorothy Wilson, Edith Sakofsky, Eleanor Giordano, Janet Raymond, Doris Layton, Adelle Nessolwitz, Everlena Posted, Mrs. Helen Green- berg Next James McKiernan, Joseph Rosenhein, Walter Greenstein, Robert Hantman, Dorothy Chernow.

The first one being the class play. The Ninth Grade is looking forward to winning the ten dollar award given to the class presenting the best play. The second thing the Ninth Grade has tried to do is to think of ideas and methods by which it can raise the funds for its Washington trip without depending solely on the usual candy concession and movie showing idea. They are also trying to make some money before their Senior year without interfering with the present Seniors. forty The Eighth Grade Less green behind the ears, the Class of '54 entered the portals of the Fallshurgh Central Schools; they then proceeded to try to live down their reputation by becoming worthwhile high school students. Under the able direction of both Mr. Gerber and Mr. Wasserman, their homeroom teachers, the classes in both Woodridge and Fallsburg presented one-act plays for their class assembly programs. Both were enjoyed by all. The eighth grade is looking forward to four successful high school years.

Just to summarize a few of these achievements; we are the class that won the ten dollar award given to lhe class that sells the most money subscriptions during the magazine campaign. Thanks to our home room teachers, we have a group of excellent junior debaters who have had a number of debates thus far in and outside of class. As far as scholastic ability, there are quite a few top ranking students and there is certain to be tough competition for top honors on graduation day next year. For the ’most part, all of the honors we have had bestowed upon us as a class, right- fully belong to our homeroom teachers. Miss Gerstman and Mr. Beytin. We the seventh grade salute them.

The Yearbook We’ve written, we’ve typed, we’ve burned the midnight oil. Now our job is done and this is the outcome. This Yearbook, product of the Senior Class of 1950, is a story within itself. It depicts life in our school, our pleasure, our hardships and above all, it is a portrait of Seniors. W e sincerely hope that when you look back upon this book in years to come you will vividly recall, as we do. the four years we spent together. forty-four The Comet 1950 was another successful year for our Comet. It has kept us well-informed and well-entertained. Improvements and additions were made which show the ini- tiative of a very fine staff, and efficient advisor, Miss Elizabeth L. Kronen berg.

Dramatic Club stumped. They began the year under the capable guidance of Miss Norma Monte- muro. When she left, the club passed into the hands of the equally capable Miss Elizabeth L. Kronenberg. Under Miss Kronenberg’s instruction they presented a hilarious one-act comedy which met with great success. Upon the arrival of our new English teacher, Mr. Frank Frasca. the Dramatic Club sponsorship was shifted for the last time. The call of “curtain going up’ is being eagerly awaited by our enthusiastic members who are looking forward to another fruitful year. • fifty Chef's Club The prime purpose of this club is to prove to all concerned that fellas can learn the arts of the kitchen.
