It is to this aim— the realization of a new Fallsburgh Central High School— that we, the Class of ’56, dedicate this yearbook. SUPERINTENDENTS MESSAGE I am honored to place a message in the 1956 Yearbook of the Fallsburgh Central School. At the present writing, the proposed new high school is simply an image on paper; by the time that you receive this Yearbook, I hope that it will be well on its way towards reality. In my estimation, the most serious problem facing our school district at the present time lies in the provision for adequate Junior-Senior High School facilities. I am grateful that you have had some part to play in this program. I like to feel that the doors of our school system are always open to you for a visit or for any help which we can give to you. I am truly proud of the class of ’56 and feel certain of your success in the world of tomorrow. LOUIS BLUM BERG Superintendent of Schools Seated: Mr. Harry C.

CLASS PROPHECY Good evening ladies and gentlemen. Our broadcast tonight will originate from the luxurious dining hall of the new and beautiful Fallsburgh Central School. You will see tonight several of the most prominent and familiar celebrities in the world today for all are present for the reunion of the well known class of ’56. Our cameras are now ready. Fade in . . . As we enter the dining room, I can hear the opening music of tonight's program played by the most talked about band of our era, the Katzen.- jammers, originated by that talented musician Mr. Stuart Duke” Katz. Stew told me that we were in for a surprise tonight, and if we could focus a camera on the band, the entire audience will see what I mean. Playing a jazz tune with the band is Miss Evalyn Carter, the magnificent concert pianist. Tell me. Miss Carter. How do you feel about playing jazz rather than classical music? Solid man, solid! The door upon which our camera is now focused is composed of solid gold, and one of the gifts which the class of '56 presented to the school. I see that the N. Y. Times head photographer, Mr. Joseph Drescher, former soc- cer star, and the Post's famous writer of the gossip column Just Between George and Me, Marcia Gerson are standing by the door. You can be sure that something is going to happen by just following these two. And there she goes! If you can't see anything, don't adjust your sets. It's the glare caused by all the flashbulbs popping to catch a glimpse of the vivacious magazine model Miss Alice Devore who has just hipped her way into the room. Hipping his way across the room from the opposite side is Mr. Stanley Wohl, the successor to Mickey Spillane, to greet her. What's all the commotion in the right hand corner of the room? If we could get a camera on the spot . . . Yes that's it. But sir!” I don’t care if it's against regulations! Where I go mah hoss goes too.” It s that eminent veterinarian, Mr. Jay Kinsbruner, arguing with the maitre- de. He seems to be protesting about the waiter’s request to remove the small horse from the dining room. Joining in the argument is his partner in the Kinsbruner-Novick Ranch for horses and people, Mr. Arthur Novick. At his side is his lovely and sparkling wife the former Selby Novack, head cheerleader for the Latin American Institute. Perhaps you have read that she is in the process of originating a cheer with horses. Anything to promote business. My program has listed as the next feature for the evening an address by the President of the International General Organization Mr. David Friedberg, but unfortunately Mr. Friedberg has been temporarily detained by an execu- tive committee meeting. I suppose his indispensable and efficient 200 words per minute secretary Miss Barbara Comfort is there with him with her pad and pencil. I wonder how many times a day she sharpens her pencil? Horrible thought, horrible! Let's move the camera to the left hand side of the room for I've noticed many other celebrities. There are the Olympic Champions, Miss Paula Novo- grodsky and Mr. George Fedun, who are discussing their plans for the com- ing year. They will spend most of the winter in Florida, water skiing, and then proceed to Europe. Miss Novogrodsky, I’ve heard you are also interested in singing? Yes, a talent scout heard my voice while I was sinking a left over right arm hook shot. Lucky break, lucky! The Olympics will be held this year on Mars where the noted prize-winning scientist Mr. Samson Dickens, is doing research on a hair restorer inspired by a former teacher of his. Accompanying him there will be the most widely read sports writer in the country, Mr. Gerald Temes,, who will cover the Olympics for his paper as well as report on the planet's feminine population. The former Sheila Maten- son, and her husband Mendy also intend to make the trip because they wish to expand their chain of chicken farms. Tell me Mrs. Greenspan, I've heard that there will be something new added to the farm. Could you tell our audience what that feature is? Certainly. My husband and I are trying to breed a new type of chicken which will be the color of my hair. It's my anniversary present, you know! Just entering now, if we could get a camera on the door again, is the famous New York dress designer, Miss Ann Levine with her escort for the night, Mr. Julian Wilson. Miss Levine is wearing one of her own stunning creations tonight and I suppose the ladies in our audience would like to hear a description of it. Well, it's blue and it has . . . Well, I see something blue. Mr. Wilson, the young gentleman with Miss Levine is the world’s most romantic chiropractor and former athletic star. They have just stopped to chat with Mr. Michael Altman and his wife, the former Miss Natalie Brand. Mr. Altman is the brilliant corporation lawyer, who is partnered with that shrewd financial wizard, Mr. Barry Faber. Here he comes now, joining the group. Mr. Faber! Tell me, how is your stock in Campbell soup doing? Oh Mama!” I've just spotted Carl Bresky, the noted accountant, and former center of F.C.S.'s basketball team talking to his old crony Mr. Dennis Farber, the Pulitzer prize winner. It is rumored that Mr. Bresky is a silent partner in the Faber-Altman team. Mr. Bresky, is this true?” Nope! Mr. Farber, what is the latest production on your agenda? I’m in the process of completing my most recent play— Hondo.” I suppose you've heard, Mr. Tomorrow, that my old controversial play, The VJfcSY ■Nmi Disenchantment of Peter Pan or the Delinquents of Always Land written in collaboration with Mr. Wohl is finally on Broadway. The choreography for this as well as many other musical hits was done by the talented Miss Cookie Brand. Miss Brand, where did you get your inspiration for your latest dance the Zutzu Kick. While strolling through the jungle I saw a Zutzu chasing a tze-tze fly. Hot experience, hot! Normally we'd pause for a commercial now but our sponsors, the Cadillac Division of G. Stollman Motors has generously relinquished its time in order that the audience may hear the band's numbers. Incidentally have you seen Mr. Stollman's new atomic-powered Cadillac convertible? I understand that his wife forced him to dispose of that old black one he was using in his school days. Bad publicity you know! As our cameras are focused on the dance floor, you see on your screen three prominent ladies who have organized the World Telephone Company. They arc head supervisors, the former Miss June Hill, here with her entire dozen, Miss Edith Prince and Miss Beverly Winfield. These girls have just perfected the combination television-telephone. Seated at the table, I notice the former Miss Wanda Kanowitz and her husband who have just celebrated the open- ing of their newest million dollar diner, to add to their chain. Congratulations to you both and your cigarette-shaped diners! You are now looking at the queen of the rock 'n rollers, Little Aud” Lawrence. Note that hat she's sporting, with a list of her golden records on it! The band is playing a rock and roll tune, The Jelly-Roll Rock which Miss Lawrence has popularized. Reminiscing with Audrey are Miss Judy Finkelstein and Miss Harriet Kaplan. Perhaps you have seen their television program over the network. You ladies in the audience should tune in to them for they discuss fashions, men, make-up, men, food, men and men-y other items. Joining the party you see Mr. David Reinlieb and Mr. Micheal Frank, two very successful businessmen in our country today. Both are engaged in the manufacture of United States Currency and I see they are trying to start a friendly poker game with the girls, but it seems that only Miss Finkelstein is in a gambling mood. How do you do, Mr. Reinlieb? Where’s the money?” How do you do, Mr. Frarik?” Where’s the money?” The camera is now moving across the room and 1 see the former General of the U. S. Army, Mr. Michael E. Kove, greeting his friend Mr. Fedun. The General has retired from the Army (terrible loss, terrible), and at present is the head of the dental department of the Huge Hurleyville Clinic in Hurlyville City. Also representing the clinic are its head nurses Miss Joan Eckert, Miss Nancy Karkota, and Miss Selma Malman. Notice the lovely pin that Miss Eckert has received from the clinic for her outstanding service. Miss Karkota will do a solo act on the glockenspiel and cymbals as part of the evening's entertainment. Escorting her is Mr. Martin Komitsky, world famous architect, who is responsible for this building. Lovely job, lovely. The men you see congratulating Miss Malman on the arrival of her fif- teenth child, arc Mr. Ronald Geiger and Mr. Stanley Kowalik, partners in the world's largest chain of garages. Miss Ann Kozachick, former roller derby champion, and now Chevrolet Corporation manager, highly recommends their establishment. Let's see where all that talking is originating from. There, seated at the table, is Mr. Laurence Kramer, fabulous Miama hotel owner, and the hon- orable Justice of the Supreme Court, Murray Q. Gaimen arguing about the proper way in which to eat pizza pie. Note their gestures! Interrupting the argument is Mr. Charles Magowitz. You see him now making an an- nouncement over the microphone. I wonder what it is? Ladies and Gentlemen, I would like to invite all of you to the grand opening of my fifth furniture store. Thank you.” Wonderful speech, wonderful! The next feature on the program is an exhibition of the cha-cha by Jerry Rotter, the Arthur Murray of America.” Will the camera please focus on the stage. Note his original style and suave technique. Talking to Miss Winfield is Miss Diane Davis, editor of the famous magazine for women, Men.” Incidentally, Miss Davis has just been voted the Homemaker of '16. The food is being served now and I see Miss Brand walking briskly to- wards the table. There is Mr. Roger Allen, manager of the series-winning Dodger Ball Club. Thank you for the cigar, Mr. Allen. Another victory? Reminiscing with Mr. Allen is Miss Roberta Friedberg, interpreter for the inter-planetary United Nations. Miss Friedberg, is it true you can speak fluently more than 200 lan- guages? Qui, Si, Ya. When are you going to learn English ?” Que?” I guess she didn't understand me.” Ladies and Gentlemen, take one last look at the celebrities in this famous class as the camera moves. When they will meet again is unknown, for they will return to their positions scattered over the entire Universe. Good night and good luck! Fade out . . . First row: T. Grossman. B. Martin, C.

SOCCER Captained by seniors, Joe Drescher and George Fedun, the Comet soccer team com- piled a 4-2 record. The two losses were suffered to Ellensville in the third and sixth games of the campaign. The victor of these ended with a perfect record and led the league. George Fedun led the team in scoring after totaling 8 markers in the six games played. Following close behind in the scoring laurels was Harvey Findling with 6 points. Other scorers totaling the team's 23 points were: Murray Mednick with 4 points, Mike Kove and Mike Altman with 2 each, and Joe Drescher with a single marker. Drescher s single point highlighted the 1-0 victory over Monticello in the opening game of the season. Leading the Black and Gold in their second encounter of the season was George Fedun, who scored 4 points in a 6-2 victory over Middletown at home. Scoring the other 2 points was Michael Kove. Conditions were reversed the next game when the Comets bowed to Ellenville at home. Harvey Findling held the Comet fort by scoring the only goal in the 4-2 loss. Rallying from this defeat, the Comets beat Monticello in their next game, 9-4. Findling once again led the scoring with 4 points. F.C.S. had trouble winning the next game against Middletown, but finally won 2-0 in a fourth period goal by Murray Mednick. Following this win came the most crucial game of the campaign; the final game against Ellenville. The Comets lost both the game and the championship and re- tired with a 4-2 record.
