SUPERINTENDENT’S MESSAGE You are, indeed, a fortunate class to be graduating from High School at a time when such glorious opportunities await boys and girls all over America. Your serious approach to education will pay huge dividends in the long fu- ture that lies ahead. The services, personnel, and facilities of the Fallsburgh Central School are everlastingly available to you for any assistance and guidance which you may need. Unfortunately, however, the great problems created in this world by man’s inhumanity to his fellow man still exist. It is my hope that your own exposure to democracy in school has been such that you will respond to your fellow men in a manner more befitting than the world situation which exists today. You will hold the controls of tomorrow; may your vehicle-steer a more righteous path than is being driven today. Please accept my most sincere wishes for a bright and healthy tomorrow. Yours very respectfully, LOUIS BLUMBERG Superintendent of Schools DEDICATION We, the graduating class of ’57, wish to dedicate this yearbook to you, Mr. Hertz. It is with the utmost ap- preciation that we regard your unstinting efforts on our behalf, your unfailing good humor, and your sympathetic guidance. ADMINISTRATION MR. WARD R.

He maketh me to lie down in green pastures; He leadeth me beside the still waters. He restoreth my soul. He leadeth me in the paths of righteousness for His name’s sake. Yea though I walk through the valley of the shadow of death, I will fear no evil; for thou art with me; thy rod and thy staff they comfort me. Thou preparest a table before me in the presence of mine enemies: thou anointest my head with oil; my cup runneth over. Surely goodness and mercy shall follow me all the days of my life; and I will dwell in the house of the Lord forever. THE AWFUL TRUTH NAME WEAKNESS PET PEEVE NOTED FOR 1.

CLASS PROPHECY The year is 1984, and we are taken, via Big Brother, to the fabulous ball room in the mansion of disc jockey, Jay Kasofsky. There is much excite- ment, for this is an extremely important event. It is the reunion of the Class of ’57. Hmmm, shall we take a peek and see who was brave enough to come? The door is bopped open by an electric eye and we are immediately impressed by the fascinating design of the room where ’57’s Rock and Roll show is being held. As we enter, we are told that Mary Winfield and Carl Knapp are credited with the decoration of the entire building. Miss Winfield has painted the portraits of her old classmates on the walls. What a weird effect! Mr. Knapp, with his remarkable electrical talent, has devised an ingenious system of lighting. Bulbs go on for one minute every hour. How unique! Our attention is focused on the stage. “Ladies and Gents” shrieks our host, “Our first act is going on. Quiet, please.” We glance toward the stage and are attracted by the R R band and their arrangement of “Aida.” If it isn’t Gerry Giordano conducting. Sure. And now, singing the chorus, she is accompanied by the band. Geraldine is the only one in the country who has a voice range three times as large as a piano. Amazing! And what’s more, we see none other than Rieva Weiner in the band playing her flute. Miss Weiner has the extraordinary power of making a flute sound like a tuba. She’s some player. Upon observing the stage closely we notice that nickels are being deposited in Miss Giordano s baton. Displaying this generosity are Mary Shaddock and Viola Cross, the music connoisseurs of the age. Viola was the beautician who started sideburns for girls. Mary’s thirty granddaughters advertise Viola’s beauty shop by wearing sideburns and beards. Meanwhile, in the audience we happen to spot a number of our old friends. There in the corner is General Barry Nadler dueling with Jack Hope. Jack’s set up in business as a cat exterminator. Jack’s experiences in Germany will be found in the next edition of the New York Comet because of his connection with editor Murry Mednick. Mednick’s secretary, Virginia Eltz, is taking notes on Mr. Hope at this very moment. Miss Eltz is reputed to be a very rapid typist, but confidentially we know that her secret is using two typewriters simultaneously. (It is said she types with her toes.) Also featured on the staff of the N. Y. Comet is Gail Saperstein, renowned journalist, with her column “Advice to the Lovelorn. Surprise —Miss Saperstein has solved every problem but her own. CLASS PROPHECY r Ah, food at last. Tonight it is brought to us by Jacqueline Horowitz and Peter Van Vleet. Jackie is kind enough to supply fruit from her stores located on three galaxies. Incidentally, our country has possession of those worlds only because of the generosity of explorer Roily Allen. Peter, who owns the biggest brewery known, is providing free drinks this evening. All of them are guaranteed since Peter is the official taster. Back on stage, the curtain is going up on the second act. It is Romeo and Juliet. How unusual! Linda Spiro is playing Romeo and Paul Cooper, Juliet. This is a switch! Looking in the crowd again, we notice some classmates who seem to have been out of the country for some time. There’s Sandy Kotin, Premier of Israel, Alan Cohen, Archeologist, now working on bones in Egypt, and Toby Grossman, Sullivan County’s Ambassador to the African Zoo. You recall, of course, that Toby is fluent in languages. She communicates very well with other members of her zoo organization. Seated nearby is the former Joyce Thomas, Mrs. Russia. Oh no—they can’t claim her! She’s Miss America and we had her first. Hey, who’s that sliding in through the window? We should have known. It’s a well-known spy from China. We remember him as Thomas Picunko. Tom is trying to gain some valid ideas for improving agriculture in the Orient. Mr. Robert Turner is suggesting a miracle robot farmer. It’s not a bad idea at all. Marty Borko and Paul Canter seem to think their idea will advance China 200 years. These men have crossbred a cow and a chicken. They have a cow who gives eggnogs. Now, that’s something different! Tonight we have quite a few people in the world of sports with us. We’re proud to have Harvey Findling, Red Sox manager who believes he has a winning team this year. Then there’s Paula Cohen who is now starring on the Knicks, and Lee Scanlon who has become a boxer. (Not a dog.) Now who could that possibly be behind those thick glasses? Oh dear, Richie Wilson, the fairest ref this side of the Pacific. “Hi, Richie.” “Foul on you.” (Revenge) Richie stares intently at the stage. There we see two of our buddies from the old days, crooner Frankie Stratton singing his latest recording “Rock, Rock, Rock, Rock, Rock” and “Salome” Pudberry keeping wild time to Frankie’s beat. Hot dog! Engrossed in the music from the balcony is Susan Michaels. Sue has taken advantage of her enormous strength and is now a lady wrestler. My, my, Sue, still wearing the black and gold CLASS PROPHECY striped trunks. She is patriotic! Three tables away from her is the Mountaindale crew discussing old times. Fred Shatsky has gained fame with his outstanding poetry books, “The Library Series.” In these works he collaborated with Doug Cauthers, the sports announcer on the monkey races. Speaking to Fred and Irwin Katz, are Stanley Trustman and Charles Weiner. Irwin is working as a salesman for electric razors, Stanley, a noted playboy, is just liack from a vacation in Reno and Charlie, we all remember as the baker who originated the donut with freckles. They are indeed a fantastic group. Bitterly arguing in a nearby corner are three of the world’s most es- teemed intellects. One we recognize as Michael Sacks, president of the Poker League. “Mike, what tips can you give us about your game?” “It means nothing.” “Thanks, Mike. You’re so informative.” Sitting opposite Mike is Martin Ottenheimer, first to reach the moon. It all happened one night when Marty’s girl wanted to observe the satellite. Our scientist took a rocket and accomplished this feat. Also in this group, who, by the way, supplemented Einstein’s theory last year, is Phyllis Friedberg. She is presently a con- testant on 21. Charles Van Doren has recently praised Miss Friedberg’s tremendous mind. This room seems to be filled with celebrities. With his saddle I see Marvin Fraley, rodeo star, trotting over to carpenter Carl Denman’s table. Carl is now in the process of constructing a structure twice the size of the Empire State Building. We must start a fund, “Nails for Denman.” At the same table are two familiar faces. (Actually one.) Right, they are the Hazelnis twins. Melvin broke the world’s record in a hot rod race last week. Good man! “Freddie, what are you doing nowadays?” “Why, I’m teaching ehem. I had a year of it back in high school. I absorbed a huge quantity.” Here we are at the last table. It looks like Sammy Welkis, the billionaire, is treating everyone. “Big George’s” industrious manner really pushed him to the top. Along side of him is Dr. Bernard Silverman. Dr. Silverman is a leading surgeon in this country. His first attempt was as an assistant in the major operation on Gerald Fox. The whole thing was completely success- ful. Bernie is discussing his work with his helpers—Carole Alport and CLASS PROPHECY Betty Martin. Carole still retains her star sixth clarinet position in the old F.C.S. Band. Betty and her husband are chiropractors. Their latest tech- nique is using a nut cracker. Before we say good-night, we must introduce the two really big people of TY from the Class of ’57. One is Miss Carol-Ann Kates who is the producer of the Not For Nervous People Theater. She is at this time pacing the floor. Her companion is Marvin Silverman who was nominated for an Oscar this year. Marvin is known as the Valentino of 21st Century television, “Oh, Loverboy.” Heavens to Betsy, the show is over and they’re all leaving. Good-by, class. Good-by. Hmmmm, shall we open the squeaky door once more and depart? BYE NOW. ••■•■in ['••■in' First row: W. Kolansky, L. Zalsky, A. Lepkowski, E. Ant. G. Cook. B.

SOCCER Albeit it flew by in seven heartrending weeks, with only six shaky, forty- eight minute games, the soccer season of 1956 will live long in the memories of the Comet boosters as their proudest, their finest hour. With the coveted Klienman Trophy hanging in the balance, the Black and Gold emerged victorious from some of the stiffest competition ever offered hy the DUSO League. The spirited Fallsburgh eleven, under the excellent coaching of Roland Allen and Nathan Weiss, compiled 5 victories to one defeat, capturing undisputed possession of the championship and the Klienman Trophy. The team was captained by Murry Mednick and co- captained by Harvey Findling, both seniors... Marty Ottenheimer tallied twice and Harvey Findling once to defeat the Monties at home 6-3. The cocky Comets then suffered a severe setback at the hands of the Middies as a strong Middletown line ripped the Fallsburgh defense minus fullback Richie Wilson for four field goals. The lopsided score was the result of an almost complete lack of hustle on the part of the Black and Gold. Seemingly recovered, the Comets went on to rout a weak Ellenville team at home, netting one field goal by A. Kaufman and a penalty conversion by Frank Stratton. Playing aggressive, hustling ball, a wiser and stronger Comet eleven then overpowered the Monties on their own field 4-2. In the most crucial engagement of the year, a spirited fanatically aggres- sive group of Allenite boosters then outfought the strong Middies 3-2 on the fallsburgh field. A last quarter tie was broken by a timely penalty kick con- version which carried the Comets to a first place tie with the Middies. In the finals, the Black and Gold wrapped up the honors for F.C.S., romp- ing over Ellenville 7-2 as the Monties battled Middletown to a 4-4 tie. The Klienman Trophy was back where it belonged, for good. VARSITY BASKETBALL Statistics will show that the 1956-57 basketball team at F.C.S. was with- out a doubt the poorest in its history. The Comets ended with a one and 15 DUSO league record which is not, of course, too impressive. There were, however, a few bright spots in The Comet Fortunes; the foremost would he the lone goldback victory over Monticello on the last-minute basket by Gerry Fox. Previously, on the home court it was the reverse, with the Monties throwing one in at the buzzer. Until he was forced to quit because of a pair of mangled ankles, Harvey Findling was among the league’s leaders in the scoring department, rank- ing third, and receiving unanimous pats on the hack from the area’s sports writers. Richie Wilson too, who averaged in double figures in both re- bounding and scoring, was a Comet bright spot. Richie received All-DUSO honorable mention, and deep respect for his ability, throughout the league. There were times during the season when it was felt that surely “This one’s ours,” but somehow we always faltered towards the end, and just could not pull the big ones through; such games like the Kingston, Pough- keepsie, Port Jervis and Monticello home games, and Ellenville away. The Comets were beset by injuries the whole route, beginning with Coach An- derson’s mishap at the start of the season, and then Harvey’s and Mike Sack’s ankle injuries; Frank Stratton’s sinus and Paul Canter’s wrist. Thanks must be given to Mr. Allen who so ably and generously filled in during Mr. Anderson’s absence. The team was captained by Harvey Findling and co-captained by Richie Wilson, seniors.
