Before we go, we would like to give our sincere appreciation to the best of all our Space Cadets. We salute you for the inspiration you’ve given us, for the proper guidance in helping us reach the zenith of our hopes; for giving us your best and carrying the burden at all times so that we might stay on the proper course; for ever liking us as individuals and helping us adjust in difficult situations. Most of all, we would like to thank you for being an excellent administrator and a real friend. For these and the million and one other things you've done for us, we the Senior Spacemen would like to dedicate our book to you, Mr. Blumberg. d z.aaqs. YESTERDAY - TODAY - TOMORROW The time span indicated in the title above spells out a complete lifetime for each of us. Our yesterdays are but dreams and images of happiness coupled with its share of disappointments. Our todays become yesterdays every twenty-four hours despite anything that we might like to do about it. It would be foolhardy for me to believe that our yesterdays and our todays do not influence and affect our tomorrows. However, we can be sure that we are not able to change our yesterdays. They are gone and their imprints are firmly im- bedded in the sands of time. Our todays become yesterdays and tomorrows all too soon. Our hopes, dreams, and thoughts must then lie in tomorrow and what it can bring for each of us. I feel that we, in the school, have done everything humanly possible to make your tomorrow a better and a richer one in the fulfillment of your hopes and desires. To a great extent, you will be the captain of your own ship hereafter. May your ship’s log be replete with happy and pleasant experiences for you and all those who travel with you through the journey of life. I am privileged to feel that I have had some part in the planning of your journey into tomorrow. I.OUIS BLUMBF.RG, Principal Appreciation to the Administration Mr. Weiss, Superintendent This, our last trip into the future, would not be complete if we did not show our appreciation to those who gave us the “fuel.” We cannot put into words the gratitude that we feel for your guidance, advice and patience. It is to you, Mr. Weiss, that we owe a sincere vote of thanks. • four Board of Education l.cfi co right around the table: Mr. Bernard Kitias. Mr. Harry Resnick, Mr. Alex Sakofsky, Mr. Benjamin Cosar.

Bob “Schinidtbrudder” Hantman leaves his nickname to Rich- ard Higgins. His various accents he bequeaths to Gary Slater. His Ping Pong championship he leaves with honor to Pinky Cohen. Last, he rescues Victor Fishkel from Monticello. Alvin Weinsoff leaves his beloved peg pants to Louis Lembcrger, his hair to Mr. Beytin, and his intramural baseball memories he takes. Who wants them? The Senior Boys of 1953 bequeath the senior table to the junior boys. All the hair from their haircuts for rugs, etc., to the teachers who need it, namely Mr. Beytin, and Mr. Furniss. They leave the promise to appropriate money for a new milking machine and bull to Steven Semonick. The Senior Girls bequeath their diaries to the senior girls of '54. They also bequeath to the same their infamous intramural sports ability. They refuse to leave Mr. Feldman. To the school they promise to someday appropriate money for an elevator. The Class of ’53 would like to leave their spacious home room to future seniors, and their long quiet intense study halls to the same. Most of all they leave with a sincere thanks to the faculty and administration for their help and encouragement. • twenty-fhree With the usual bleary eyes that accompany the beginning of every Washington trip, thirty-eight Seniors anti four chaperones boarded Mr. Altman’s buses and started the first leg of their journey, catching the train at Middletown. The first sign of life seen in the Seniors was due to a yelp heard from a dog being crushed by the Altman bus. Cries went up from the Seniors, yelling “Mr. Altman is a dog killer. This is the event that began the activity and excitement to be found in the coming trip. We boarded our train, and immediately the Black Jack games began throughout the car. At Jersey, we switched trains and boarded a “tube” that took us to the Newark terminal where we had to wait for the Baltimore train. While waiting, $24.00 changed hands in Black Jack. We arrived in Baltimore at 2:00 in the afternoon where we met Bill Brown, our bus driver for the tour. He presently took us on a quick tour through Baltimore on the way to Annapolis. At Annapolis, we were fortunate enough to see a full dress parade held in the honor of General Montgomery of the British Army. The girls were thrilled at seeing so many men doing the same thing at the same time. As we boarded the bus. Bill informed Monte of the fact that the parade was not in HIS honor, but if they had known he was coming, they would have “baked a cake.” Southern that is, of course. Driving along lfitli Street, Bill pointed out all the luxurious hotels of the city, and then we arrived at ours . . . The next hour and a half was spent un- packing and acquainting ourselves with the inside layout of the hotel—especially the vicinity between floors 2 and 6. On the first venture from floor 2 to floor 1, the elevator slightly missed, and we arrived rather unexpectedly three feet below the main level. After a brief pause in our activities, we boarded our bus to visit the Lincoln Memorial Washington Trip and Congressional Library. Bill then drove some of us downtown to catch Off Limits” or High Noon” while the remainder of our little group returned to the hotel to dash off some post cards, and start the late” party early. The firs; evening was spent in parties and Walter’s attempt at movie pictures. Room 611, the headquarters for all activities was unusually quiet. Suddenly, darkness prevailed over half ol the building, and the mishap was traced to—natch! Janet seemed to have left her iron on a bit too long. The next morning the telephones rang endlessly waking the numb seniors from their comas. They’re still looking for the telephone in 212. For breakfast that morning we had sausages and eggs! 1 hen we climbed on the bus hopefully looking forward to a pleasant day of touring through half closed eyes. The first edifice we visited was the Building of Engraving. There we saw piles upon piles of MONEY. From there we went to the beautiful Pan- American Building in which we saw beautiful architecture and bathrooms, beautiful palm trees and bathrooms, and beautiful rooms and bathrooms. The White House was next on the list and we waited on a mile long line for the gates to open while several suffered in the bus. At last we were permitted to gaze upon the interior of the White House including its bathroom. After we departed from the White House, Frances and Eleanor departed for the hotel soon to be followed by Saundra. In the meantime, Freddy, Alan, and Monte spent some time gazing upon and using the bathrooms of the 1 reasury Department. From there to the Capitol, where an emergency convoy was rushed to the Senate bathrooms where many a great man has spent some time. What remained of the class, toured the Capitol viewing the Senate and House chambers and the old Senate chamber where we were shown the whispering hall. After the rest of the class rejoined, we returned to the hotel for a much needed rest. We boarded the bus after lunch and left for the Arlington Ceme- tery minus the two seniors and a chaperone who remained be- hind for obvious reasons. There, in quiet reverence, we watched the changing of the honor guard of the tomb of the Unknown Soldier, a very im- pressive sight. We then left directly for Mount Vernon. There, as the class lined up for a picture, we were reprimanded by the guard for making too much noise, (we were shuffling our feet too hard on the grass). At 7:30 we departed for the Casino Royal Night Club where we dined and enjoyed a stage show. Later most of the class left for the hotel, movies, swimming, etc., while others remained to dance. At about 11:00 everyone returned to the hotel and a crazy” pajama party was started on the second floor. It was about this time that Freddy, Alan, Norman, and Jeff, after reconnoitering some of the Southern Belles,” departed for Room 619 and weren’t heard from till they were dragged out at curfew time, by Mr. Cohen. At intervals, during the night were screams, giggles, Charlotte Tremper dancing in the halls, singing, and cold hamburgers while a poker game raged in 201. The elevator man gave us a little trouble when he refused to take any more traffic between floors 2 and 6. He told us that we should use the stairs, so tiny foot steps were heard for the rest of the night between the two infamous floors. That morning, we came down to the breakfast table with the resolution to watch what we were eating because too much time has been spent sight-seeing the rest rooms of Washington. From the hotel, we journeyed to the Washington Monument, where a few strong willed climbed the 898 steps to the summit of the monument. The rest took the elevator to the top from which we • twenty-six Washington Trip could see the entire city. At the bottom of the monument, somebody found a place to buy foot-long cigars, and soon the entire class had purchased these. The only one brave enough to light one of these, however, was Monte who happened to luckily stumble across an acetylene torch with which to light his. He, however, was not strong enough to finish it. (He finished about an inch before he com- plained of an attack of indigestion.) Our next stop was the Smithsonian Institute where the class was alloted one hour, but in which we would have liked to spend a month. The most interesting exhibit by far was the Medical Museum exhibit. From the museum, we made a short stop at the Jefferson Memorial where the color film was unrolled in order to catch the cherry blossoms that were out two weeks early, just for us. At the Archives Building, we were impressed by the Con- stitution and the Declaration of Independence that was so heavily guarded. After lunch, we went to the F.B.I. Building. The girls were all very disappointed when they noticed that the adorable F.B.I. guide who was showing us around, wore a wedding band. From the F.B.I. Building, we went to the Franciscan Monastery, and it was at this time that the boys showed their true allegiance to the South by purchasing a dozen Confederate Flags. We hurried over to the zoo as fast as we could to get there just in time to see them close up the place. It was here, however, that Mendy almost got swiped over the head by a Polar bear as he went to take a picture of the bear. Back at the bus, we spent some time getting friendly with some other schools, and the boys soon had three address books' full of names. (Girls natch!) Once again we pointed our bus toward the hotel and that night the class had its free night, in which we could either go to see the show Pink Elephant” or go swimming. The boys who didn’t go to the night club had met some “Yankees” from Hillside, I.. I., and escorted them back to their hotel. The rest started the parties early. This, our last night, Mr. Cohen and Miss Longo decided to play a little game, and they then proceeded to carry out “Operation Cat and Mouse.” It was during this night that Aaron finding out that he had been locked out of Dede’s was about to let out his famous call when we clamped up his mouth. The boys were in the girls' rooms when the cry went up from our look outs (Walter and Monte) that Miss Longo was on her way up. Aaron, Gary C„ Bob H., and Melvin were under the beds as quick as a wink, and had it not been for Melvin’s coming out of hiding, Miss Longo would still be looking for the boys. After breakfast, the next morning. Bill took us down to the Capitol to take our picture. It was the bleariest bunch of Seniors that ever adorned a picture in front of the Capitol. After that, we went for a fast trip to the Lincoln Memorial where we emptied our cameras of any film that was left. Bill then deposited us in downtown Washington for some shopping. We ate our last meal at the hotel, said our good-bys and checked out. We were completely overwhelmed by the wonderful time we had. There are many people who deserve credit for this being such a wonderful trip. We would like to thank the chaperones, Mr. and Mrs. Wiles, Miss Longo and Mr. Cohen, and the Ad- ministration for their cooperation, especially Mr. Blumberg. Lastly, we feel that there is one person who has not been men- tioned that truly deserves the thanks of the entire class. This person is Mrs. Helen Greene. Her endeavors, as our home room teacher for our first four years gave us a tremendous financial boost. We cannot thank her enough. • iwenty-seyen It is June 23, 11)8 1, and we are present at one of the biggest events in the east. It is the reunion of the Class of '53 at the fabulous Kramers on Luzon Lake, New York. Everyone of the former students has taken leave ol the various successful fields to attend the exciting event in the glamorous Crimson Room. I lie (lining room is lull ol excitement, and chatter among the alumni. The host, Mr. Jeffrey Kramer, in his tails, is wide awake and greeting all his former classmates. Mr. Kramer has made a fortune with his hotel on Luzon. He is accompanied by his fourth wife, who is a stunning blonde. Mrs. Kramer is a girl from the big city. Mr. Kramer is talking with some very prominent newspaper- men. They are the editor of the New York Times, Mr. Norman Klein, the top sports writer, Walt Grecnstein, and the well-known reporter Ace Cole. Ace is telling them about his latest scoop. He is going to make an announcement, “The new Fallsbutgh School is going into construction in April, 1990.” A round of ap- plause comes up from all the guests. They are rejoicing in the thought of safety for their grandchildren attending the old Falls- burgh School. This is a surprise to Mr. Klein the editor of the Times, and he is congratulating “Ace” on his new scoop. Walt Greenstein is mumbling some words of wisdom to “Ace.” I here is cptite a commotion at the other end of the room. One of the women, the former Rita F.tinis, who is married to the presi- dent of the Chesterfield Company, coughed. Robert Hantman, owner of the Schmidtbrudder Cough Drop Company, offered her a spectacular new atomic cough drop. Rita is insisting that only Chesterfield soothes her throat. This is presenting quite an argu- ment as to which is better: a Schmidtbrudder or a Chesterfield. Dean of State Technical School, Mr. Gary Charnow, and his wife, Saundra, are entering the room. They had trouble getting a baby sitter for their eleven children, and were a little late in arriving. Saundra spots one of her old friends, Charlotte Forim, and leaves her husband to do some reminiscing with Charlotte. Miss Forim is famous among college students for her technique in going through school. Because she couldn’t afford the ex- penses, she became a bubble dancer to earn the needed money. She no longer has to participate in this profession. fwenty-nine Prophecy Looking around the room we see the two famous engineers, Dr. Chas. Siieglit . of R.P.I., and Prof. Joe Rosenshein, of M.I.T. The two famous men are discussing their new atomic discovery. No one dares to interrupt the two geniuses less the interrupter be drawn into such discourse. The band is beginning to play Anchors Away,” and Ho! there is Admiral Primack entering the room. All heads turn as the dashing Admiral in his gay uniform enters, greeting his old classmates. Eli made his fame leading the first atomic Heet of sub- marines in the South Pacific. His friends immediately recognize that the Admiral has not changed. Almost instantly he starts ex- pounding to those about him on his experiences with ships. The host, Mr. Kramer, is talking to one of the most prominent writers of our time, Mr. Robert Maliga. Bob made his success when he got the Nobel prize for literature for the book “The Young Man and the Desert.” This book sold more copies than Hemingway’s Old Man and the Sea,” sometimes compared to Mr. Maliga’s book. Bob is introducing the two women with him to Jeffrey. They are Olga Chcrviok and Eleanor Prybylski, both of these girls are models for leading New York and Paris shoppes. Jelf is apparently quite surprised to see them, for he had read recently in the newspapers that Miss Cherviok and Miss Prybylski were making a success in modeling in Paris and other parts ol Europe. Approaching them is Mr. Monte Steingart, the most eligible bachelor in New York City. He is accompanied by a vivacious red head, whom he introduces to the host after giving him a hearty handshake. Everyone has heard of Monte since he intends to ski oft Mt. Everest. The dancing has begun and we can see many of the alumni on the dance floor. There are the former Cara Schoonover with her husband, and Mr. Alvin Weinsoff with his beautiful wife amongst those on the dance floor. There is a commotion at the front entrance. Entering is the President of the United States, Aaron Podhurst, and his wife, the former Miss Edith Sakofsky. Upon entering, his former class- mates greet him and find that he is still the same joker. His wife, known to the public as “Dede,” is joyously talking to old girl friends. When Aaron was elected to office they had to move a piano into the White House again. thirty Prophecy While the President goes off to talk to his old friends, Dcdc goes over to the opposite side of the room to talk to Beth, her old sidekick. Beth is the new coach of the Knicks.” It is the first time in history that a woman has held this position. When yon ask her how she feels about her new appointment, she re- plies What fun! Dancing is Mr. Michael Finkclstein and the former Miss Fran- ces Wegman. Miss Wegman married the brain specialist of Mt. Sinai Hospital. Since this is a reunion, her husband didn’t object to her dancing with an old Name. Mr. Finkelstein owns the Fink Grocery Chain Stores. toast is being made at the table by Alan Sussman to Dorothy Wilson. They just learned that she'lia’4' been Appointed to the Presidency of the New York State Finance Company. Dotty married the son of the late millionaire, Wilson of General Motors. Alan Sussman made his fortune constructing the Thomas Jef- ferson Bridge after the George Washington Bridge was washed out in last year’s storm. Seated across from Mr. and Mrs. Sussman are the former Doris Lowe, of Doris Dyes, and her husband. The former Janet Ray- mond with her new husband, the President of Glockenspeil Eye- glasses, is seated next to them. Janet has four children, one from each of her husbands. She constantly brags about that. Next to them is Phyllis Turner, President of the National Four-H Club. The host is paging Mr. Mel Feldman who is seated at the other end of the table with his wife and a few friends. Mel is the man- ager of the New York Yankees, who are playing this new season to keep the pennant. The telephone call, for which he is being paged, is probably from one of his six children. Across from Mel is Fred Comfort and his wife, also a former Fallsburgh Central girl. Fred, who is Dean of Engineering at Columbia, is conversing with Mr. Mclvyn (Mendy) Grcenstein. Mendy is a famous dentist. He is the only dentist who can sing to a patient and put them to sleep, rather than use ether. It is also known that the dashing Mendy has more women patients than men. Seated next to Mendy and his wife is Miss Adele Englander, quietly listening to the conversation. Miss Englander owns the Touch-lt Typewriter Company. • thirty-one Prophecy Approaching Mendy is his former classmate, Eleanor Giordano, the famous Metropolitan soprano. After she tells him of her present standing in the world of music, they discuss the old times regarding the Fallsburg May Concerts. Eleanor is also married to a famous wholesale dealer to whom she devotes her time when she isn’t singing. He isn’t with her this evening due to an unexpected call. Miss Harriet Mark, the well-known psychologist of New York, is introducing her fifth fiance to her old friends. Of course, the old riots are starting again now that Harriet is in the room. Patting Harriet on the back is Alan Findling, the leading ac- countant of the New' York Stock Exchange. After kidding Har- riet about her wild life, he reminisces over old times with his cousin, Melvin. Seated next to Melly is Charlotte Tremper, the business man- ager of the Co-operative Life Insurance Co. She’s talking over old times with Rose Marie Fenn, one of her old classmates. Rose Marie is now the wife of the President of Harvard University. There is a commotion at the other side of the room! Gary Tavormina seems to have lost his false teeth. Gary’s had them for a long time! ! A late guest appears in the room; it is the former Paula Susser and her husband. Looking about the room, she sees some old friends and greets them. Paula is head of translators at the United Nations and is married to the U. S. Delegate. Greeting the last guest is Dotty Chernow. Dotty is the private secretary to J. P. Morgan, III. As we leave the Class of '53 they are just embarking upon an evening of gaiety that will be remembered far into the future. • thirty-two Time Machine Turn buck the time machine and remember . . .

Behind Mel Feldman’s 20 points, the Comets easilv mastered their opponents 68-45. One week later Fallsburgh began an inten- sive road trip that took them to Kingston. Poughkeepsie and Port )ervis. Aaron Podhurst's 28 and 29 points were not enough as the Black and Gold dropped a 65- 6-1 overtime contest to Kingston and a 55-53 decision to Poughkeepsie. Fallsburgh hit the .500 mark when they subdued a weak Port Jervis squad 62-36. In the first game of the new year, the Comets encountered the Beacon High School basketeers. Spearheaded by Aaron Podhurst’s 23 markers and Mel Feldman’s 22 scores Falls- burgh downed the Beaconites 63-53. Then came the big one against Monticello, Fallsburgh’s arch rival. Aaron Podhurt’s 26 points combined with his domination of the backboards highlighted the game as the Comets trimmed the Monties 64-51. The Middletown Middies played host to the Black and Gold on January 22. After trail- ing by as much as eight points in the final four minutes of play, Fallsburgh rallied and won the game in overtime 58-56. Two days later Fallsburgh encountered the champion Newburgh Goldbacks. After 32 min- utes of hectic battle, Newburgh emerged the victors 68-65. The Comets got back on the victory path when thev drubbed a hapless Ellenvillc team 65-47. Aaron Podhurst set the new single game scoring record when he scored 36 points against the Kingston Colonials. However, that wasn't enough as G. Warren Kias lads de- feated the Black and Gold 74-68. Fallsburgh then gained two comparatively easy victories. One over the Poughkeepsie Indians and the other over the Red Raiders of Port Jervis. Fallsburgh decisioned the vis- itors from across the Hudson 60-48 and floored the Smokey City” quintet 46-29. On Friday, February 13th, the Comets ven- tured to Newburgh to tangle with the league leading Goldbacks, who possessed a winning streak of 34 consecutive games. In a highly disputed contest the Newburgh cagers gained a slim 63-62 victory. Fallsburgh then journeyed to Beacon where they proceeded to take the measure ol the home team 66-56. Mel Feldman’s y4 court set shot highlighted this affair. February 20th saw’ the Comets visit Monti- cello to battle with their rivals for the second time this season. Fallsburgh trailed the Monties by nine points with less than three minutes remaining in the contest when they rallied and pulled the game “out of the fire” 52-51. Four days later the Comets suffered their worst defeat of the year when they took a 72-57 pasting from the Middletown Middies. Fallsburgh’s last Duso victory of the year came when the Black and Gold triumphed over the Ellenville Bluedevils 65-50. Aaron Podhurst again broke the single game scoring record rattling 37 points through the hoop. The last place Liberty Indians pulled the surprise of the year when they upset the Com- ets on the last day of the season 55-54. Aaron Podhurst tallied 26 points bringing his final Duso total to 399 points, highest in the League. In their first sectional tilt, the Comets drew the Ulster County League Champions, Marl- boro High School. In a sloppy played ball game, Fallsburgh came out on the top end of a 48-43 score. Podhurst brought his season’s total to 419 points, breaking the old mark of 409 set by Bob Laskowitz last season. On Friday, March 13th, Fallsburgh en- countered the defending Class C champions, the Flying Dutchmen of Tappan Zee High School. In a thrilling hard fought contest, Tappan Zee staved off a final Fallsburgh rally as they eked out a 59-56 victory. Podhurst hit 30 in this game bringing his season’s total to 449 points and his three-year total to 981 points. Three other Fallsburgh players reached the 150 point mark. Dave Kwartler tallied 197 points, Alan Findling 190 and Mel Feldman 176 points. The team itself had the best de- fensive average in the Duso League limiting their opponents to 54.1 points per game. For the second consecutive year the Comets won the Duso (Village) League championship.
