We, the graduating class of ’55, wish to dedicate this yearbook to you, Mr. Young, for your unstinting efforts which have had a profound effect on our decisions for the future. Sufre uHtendcKt 0Jfte4A ye I extend my congratulations to you—the graduates of the class of 1955 of the Fallsburgh Central High School. Our school sys- tem is now in its youth as you find yourselves. We, of the school, look forward to a steady growth and we have dedicated ourselves to the fine principles governing a good life and to the realization of the high ideals of a democratic society. May I urge that you, too, dedicate yourselves to continue in your preparation for living in a democratic society by application to your every endeavor. Be ever mindful of those precepts of intellectual honesty, devotion to right, respect for others,—and embrace them. Remember that the task of living together in a complicated world requires a high degree of tolerance and love of your fellow man. Remember that our country is the hope of all who suffer and the dread of all who wrong. The future of our country and the world is in your hands, minds, and hearts. May your hands produce only for good; may your minds be clear and tolerant; may your hearts be full of love for all creeds, colors, and conscience. May 1 always be as proud of you as 1 am now.

My name is Friday. Dum de dum dum da. The time was 5:00 p.m. The date June 28, 1955. The case—the missing Senior Class. In our search we found the following will. “We, the Seniors of F.C.H.S., 1955, being of sound mind and body, do hereby declare this our last will and testament. Bob Abrams bequeaths his ability on the soccer field to Joe Drescher, his curls- to James Mentnech, and his strong silent-type personality to Marty Ottenheimer. Leonard Allenstein leaves his place on Varsity to Michael Sacks. To Marty Komitzky, he bequeaths his physics marks and last but not least, Lennie leaves F.C.S. to all the forthcoming generations. Eleanor Benjamin bequeaths her trips to New York to Marcia Gerson, and her open house after school parties to Harriet Kaplan (if her refrigerator can take it), but Marty she refuses to part with. Paul Borko leaves his place on Mr. Beytin’s absentee list to Dennis Farber, his car to anyone willing to pick up his brother after ball practice, and last of all, Paul leaves F.C.S. Murray Bresky leaves his scholastic ability to Carl. He bequeaths his mind- changing to David Friedberg and Monticello and Ellenville to Julian Wilson. His Caddy he leaves to all the Junior boys. Ronald Brown leaves his truck to Virginia Wilson, his height to Rhea Pudberry, his social studies summaries to Mr. Weiss, and his seat in English to anyone who would care for it. Violet Burger leaves her seat in typing class to Gerald Rotter, her height to Walter Cooke, her quietness to Judy Finkelstein, and her position on office duty to Annette Mostowski. Alex Cherviok leaves his ability to dance to Charlie Weiner, his crew-cut to Stanley Wohl and his perfect record of coming to school on time to “Cookie” Brand. Paul Cohen leaves his chemistry and physics marks to Stuart Katz, his love for conversation to Michael Frank, and his “platonic” love he takes with him with hope for the future. Shirley DeGraw bequeaths her place on Honor Society to Linda Spiro, and her crazy hair cuts to all the Junior scissors bugs. “I can’t” and “No” she takes with her for future times when she may need them. Johnny Dill leaves his crew-cuts to anyone who wants to get scalped. His wittiness and romantic ways he leaves to George Fedun and his memories of art class to the “Artists of Tomorrow.” Marlene Elchyshen bequeaths her presidency of the G.O. to anyone with big enough shoulders to carry the load, and to Paula Novogrodsky she leaves her basketball team. Leaving, she takes her beautiful voice with her. 20M Thelma Evans leaves her “Private Bus” to anyone traveling from Wood- bourne at 7:30 a.m., Monday through Friday, and her three English seats with Mr. Hayward to Selby Novack—Good Luck!! Marty Feldman leaves “Dese here guys” and his Brooklyn accent to Mr. Hayward, his muscle building utilities to Samson Dickens and his reserved seat in “Nat’s” to Arthur Novick. Nick Ferrante leaves his car to Michael Altman, his laconic speech to Alice Devore and his job as Murray’s chauffeur he wishes he could leave to a beautiful girl. (So does Murray!!) Marilyn Friedlander bestows her Varsity Cheerleading commission on Stella Williams, her tete a tetes in the locker room before classes to Alice Devore, and leaves her Social Studies classes with a sigh of relief. Anne Gibson bequeaths her place as Veep of the G.O. to Michael Sacks, her seat in typing class to anyone brave enough to take it. and her calm temper and memories she takes with her. Donald Godlin leaves his “Tarzan Call” to Carl Knapp, his car to Ruth Rosenblum and his millions to Stanley Wohl. David Goodstein leaves his camera to “Photobug Charles Magowitz and he takes his knack for teasing with him. Jimmy “Jacquo Vert” Green leaves his seat in Scholarship classes to some Junior boy with the hope that he’ll have a few more fellas to attend with him.

You will be listening to Martin Feldman renowned orator who can now be compared to Demosthenes, the Greek statesman. Take over Marty. “This is Marty Feldman and the year is 1975—20 years after our graduation. 1 see Leonard Allenstein, the brilliant pharmacist who discovered the cure for the common cold, has just arrived. And there’s Elbe Benjamin, the country’s leading hostess. After the premier everyone connected with this enterprise will assemble at her estate for what will probably be the “Party of the Year.” Ellie is now talking to Toby Mednick. Toby retains her maiden name as her position as business editor for the New York Times requires it. Yet, with all her hard work lob’s still giggling- Murray Bresky has just pulled up in his swanky yellow Cadillac convertible. Mr. Bresky certainly needs no introduction to you since his name is con- tinually appearing in the paper showing how he spends his millions. He’s here with his fifth wife. Rumor has it that this marriage may last. Listen to the cheers getting louder and louder as Richard Higgins, the ingenious director of our fabulous presentation tonight, passes through the crowd. He certainly deserves this ovation. Every one of Mr. Higgins plays were smash hits. His sister, Agnes who is a member of the Atomic Energy Commission, has left her important work to accompany her brother here tonight. Just arriving with his charming wife is Darry Kaplan. Mr. Kaplan’s white shirt is immaculate and no wonder. He now owns a monopoly of all the laundries on the east coast and is rapidly becoming a cartel owner. Darry is approaching his old time friend, Alex Cherviok, who has just de- veloped the new type of troism Architecture. He is now in the midst of con- structing a building for the U. S. Army, of which no one knows the details. Paul Cohen, our high school science wizard, is nearing the entrance now. He just came in from one of his daily flights from Miami to New York. It seems Paul has to commute daily because his wife can’t stand the warm weather. Yet it is essential for him to be there for the construction of the new causeway—his idea of course. Here comes Aileen Van Nostrand, first woman President; Lionel Nosen- chuck, Vice President of the United States: and Nancy Lungen, Secretary of the United States. These people had to work so hard to get us to Washington in our senior year, that once there they decided not to come back. Ah, I see Janet Reynolds and Violet Burger conversing in a corner. Janet is now Superintendent of Nurses at the Monticello Hospital and Violet is the head of the South Fallsburg Telephone Company. Both of these ladies are here with their husbands tonight. (yicMA 'PioflAeccf Gil Weintraub, sporting a tie with diamonds, is just stepping out of his Cadillac. Gil owns every large tie manufacturing company in the United States. And there are the Sakofsky sisters. This is the first time they have seen each other since Elaine returned from her piano tour around the world. Ellen has just been appointed superintendent of a large elementary school. She treats every child as her own, and is now devising means to build a new playground for the children. Marlene Elchyshen is approaching the twins now, probably to discuss the intended concert tour she and Elaine intend to take together. “Chiz” has just come from a rehearsal of the show “My Love” in which she is starring. Most of you heard Miss Elchyshen sing at the Met last Monday. Look who’s just pulling up. Miss Friedlander. Marilyn wasn’t supposed to be here tonight but she made it after all. Her old friends remember her as a model, but to the world she is the greatest dancer since Anna Pavlova. Accom- panying her is Monsieur Tetehomme, one of her six husbands, whom she met in France. Nick Ferrante, well-known for bringing beards back into fashion, has just arrived. Nick, as you know, is head of the largest printing company in the world. David Goodstein the famed chicken farm owner, is also here conversing with Thomas Smith and Marvin Rasnick. It is said the Mr. Goodstein’s farm is larger than the Village of Woodridge. Thomas owns and operates a chain of gasoline stations from New York to California and Marvin, world connoisseur on books, now owns a mammoth publishing company. Making her way through the crowd is Anne Gibson, Miss Homemaker of 1960, and her husband. Anne had a lot of competition in the contest but she came through with flying colors. Her comes James Green, renowned nuclear physicist. Although Jimmy is very busy, he spends all his spare time managing the Victory in Woodbourne. Joyce Hedman is fast approaching me. Joyce is the talented girl who did all the art work for this comedy. She is often called the Walt Disney of her time and is well known for her other shows. Entering together are Cynthia Welkis and Dorothy Tavormina. These two girls have worked hard to become the best, most sought-after secretaries. Robert Slater just came bounding in and received a big hand of applause. Last night Bob set the record of being the first pro basketball player to reach 200 points in one game. Congratulations, Bob. There’s Jewel Kaplan, who just flew in from Miami Beach, Florida, where she now resides with her husband and eight lovely children. Jewel’s well- known for her new economic program which will go into effect next month— no more income tax. Walking in together are Bruce Hoffman and Boh Krutman. They have just come from battling it out in the Supreme Court. Bob. with his knowledge of Criminology, has finally proved joke books are harmful to children and has gotten a federal law passed banning them. Bruce, of course, was the defense attorney for the joke book monopolies. Ladies and gentlemen, the famous literary writer and producer of the show tonight has finally arrived, accompanied by her husband, a world renowned psychologist. So far, every show Miss Rosenblum has produced has been an academy award winner, and it is rumored this one will he no exception. Benjamin Hodes. famous millionaire exporter just arrived with two lovely girls on each arm. As soon as he sees his old cronies Murray and Nick. I m sure they’ll spend the whole evening reminiscing. Sure enough there he goes! Just entering the theatre is Larry Marquit with his pearl studded guitar. He and that guitar have become inseparable and it s no wonder, it has made him a great success. There’s Ronald Brown talking to Stanley Wellinsky. Ronald now owns a large trucking fleet, and Stanley owns both the Ford and Cadillac corporations. I see Shirley DeGraw walking towards Janet and Violet. Shirley decided married life was for her. and settled down right after graduation. She now has ten children and still enjoys marriage. Alvin Wilensky is still smiling, I see—Alvin is personnel manager of this production tonight. Leni Kay and Paul Borko are just arriving together. Lenny went from cartoonist on the New York Times to owner, and Paul now has a truck farm equivalent in size to a plantation. I see Lenny Prager surrounded by a crowd. Mr. Prager a leading comedian of our time, is probably entertaining them. Relating his experience to Donald Godlin is John Dill. John is now a big African game hunter and explorer who has just returned from a safari, while Donald owns all the drugstores in Woodbourne. Sitting and talking are Thelma Evans and Yvonne Winfield. Thelma now is a veterinarian and owns an animal hospital, while Yvonne controls the majority of shares in a stole factory. Robert Abrams, the leading beauty authority, designed all the stunning hair styles and makeup for our sensational cartoon. Rumor has it he may soon be considered the modern Max Factor. He is walking toward George Karrel. George owns the Red Sox and is very proud as they won the pennant last year and expect a repeat performance. The doors are just closing, but wait, here comes Barbara Schnall. No, it wasn’t detention that detained her, she was training her protegees for the Olympics. The curtain is now about to ascend.

Socce The 1954 Soccer Season opener saw the Fallsburgh Central Comets edged by the Monticello Monties 4 to 3, on September 30. Fallsburgh downed a confused Middletown team for the fourth consecutive time on October 5. They played in a heavy drizzle but held the Middies scoreless, while tallying 3 points for their initial victory. The Black and Gold dropped a bruising match, 8 to 3, at the hands of the Ellenville Blue Devils, on October 14. Fallsburgh acquired its third loss, 6 to 0, at the hands of Monticello on October 20. Though they blasted numerous attempts at the goalmouth, the Comet squad failed to score. Bob Slater, Comet goalie, held the Middletown squad scoreless again on October 26. The Middies, playing defensive soccer, held the score down to 4 to 0. The final game was played at Ellenville on a chilly autumn afternoon. The Comets’ line could not get started and ended the season with a 2 and 4 record. Coaches Boland Allan and Nathan Weiss fielded a well-playing team. The Comets’ main point of attack was their speed, with the backfield using long boots as their main defensive weapon. The second string proved to be an ambitious spirited squad with each member fighting for a place in the starting line-up. The addition of a completely re-surfaced soccer field aided the Comets and their opponents in all home games. As a result of graduation, the Comets are losing goalie. Bob Slater; center half- back, Murray Bresky; right forward, Bob Krutman; left fullback, Bob Abrams; and center lineman. John Dill. F 'JS cr-r f4, 6et6cM But for two members remaining from last year’s squad, the Black and Gold sent an entirely fresh team on the court. Coach Allan Brent piloted the Comets for the first time. In the season’s opener at Liberty the F.C.S. five trounced the Liberty Red Raiders 45 to 42. Bob Krutman drilled the hoop for 16 points. In their second game, the Comets played host to Ellenville. Center Leonard Allenstein effectively controlled the backboards but the Comets lost 44 to 41. Playing at Port Jervis, Jan. 14, the Comets ost 63 to 56. The Black and Gold bowed to Kingston 85 to 53 Jan. 18, and Newburgh 70 to 41 Jan. 26. Bouncing back against Liberty February 1, the Comets were victorious 66 to 64. At the Monticello court Comet forward Bob Slater hit for 37 points to tie the F.C.S. record for points scored in one game, but the Comet aggregation lost 93 to 79. Playing host to Port Jervis, the Comets acquired their third Duso victory 75 to 70. Bob Slater received recognition for his basketball ability by being given an honor- able mention position on the All-Duso League Squads.- Top row: A. Young. C. Knapp. J. Fox, R. Wilson. C. Weiner. M.

A band like ours offers many advantages. It is of paramount importance for the band members to leam cooperation, and this is a definite advantage for them since it will be of help outside the band. The members of our band do not lose their individuality, but instead they unite to make one big unit. Each part is important in the band and therefore there is a sense of equality. One factor in having our Junior High School band is the competition it creates. Students, band members and others alike, realizing the success of the band, compete against others for the chance to be a member of it. A great demand for instruments shows that the students are willing to practice and work hard in order to be able to play in the band. Being a member of our band is one of the first steps toward having a musical career in the future. Our band also offers fun to the members. In the performances (which the band thoroughly enjoys) that the band has put on, all the hard work and practicing is shown as the results come forth. We should all support this unusually fine band and be aware of its infinite efforts to make our school proud of it. We will be well represented by our Junior High School Band.
