GALWAY PIPER Senior Yearbook of GALWAY HIGH SCHOOL GALWAY, NEW YORK Editor-in-chief Business Manager Mary Cwialcala . Morris Sowle IN MEMORIAM Lieutenant DIGHTON L. POLAN, J. G., Naval Air Corps teacher of social studies and physical education at Galway High School, lost at sea while engaging the enemy in air combat . iirw • At his country's call, he volunteered for service and gave his life in its defense at one of the most crucial periods of its history. He was a man of high Ideals who lived his life clean and did his duty in whatever field he engaged. Born in Nortonville, Kansas, in 1917, the only son in a family of four children, he came to Galway after graduation from Alfred University. Skilled in athletics, music, and an understanding of human nature, he won the admiration and respect of all about him. Those of us who knew him, remember well his restrained yet good-humored attitude and his exacting yet sympathetic manner. His life was indeed exemplary; and his absence is compensated only by the presence in our memories of a noble life and spirit that once graced our halls. DEDICATION With sincere gratitude and loyalty, we, the cl?ss of 1Q44, dedicate this, oar yearbook, the Galway Piper, to Miss Ruth E. Schwem, our sponsor, teacher and friend wnose unfail in- helpfulness has enabled us to publish this book. % GA L' v 'Y PTPER ST FF E-ii i--'r-in-Chief Business i.ir. eager Adviser • Art adiiror A33I3 Lsnts Advisor Circulation Manager Photography Editor Literary Editor Advisor News Editor Advisor Advertising Artists Advisor Typists St',ncil Typists Mimeograph '. .0 Cwirkela ' r?3 Sov le Hr u.

She is gentle, she is shy; But there is mischief in her .... ft T a September 1939, a new group appeared at G.H.3., known as the freshmen. At that time, the thought that occupied our minds most was four years from now, we'll be seniors . But this thought vanished from the minds of several. In our sophomore year, we were glad to welcome three new members. 3y now, we were ready to choose the course we wished to follow through the three remaining years. When vie reached our Junior year, vie had decreased from twenty-one to fourteen in number. We were ready to organize our class, and elected Mrs. Michelfelder as our class advisor, Cynthia Clark as president:., Claire Comfort as vice-president, and Helen Shatas as secretary-treasurer. Our first attempt to raise money for a graduation trip was the third yearbook under the supervision of Mrs. 3ouck and Mrs. Michelfelder and editorship of Cynthia Clark. At the graduation exercises in June 1942, Lorraine Des Roches and Claire Comfort were the junior marshalls. We sponsored the annual Senior Dance that followed the commencement program. At last we were seniors! 3y now we had lost four more classmates but gained one new one. We elected the following officers: Stanley Staber, president; . Vice-president; Ciaire Comfort, Secretary;- Shirley Hunter, Treasurer; Mr, Bryan Simmons, Class Advisor, Immediately dances and a play xvere planned to help finances for a trip to New York City. Breaking the routine of recent classes, the Seniors took their trip during Easter Vacation instead of after graduation. With Mr. Simmons as our guide and our hard-earned money in the form of 'travelers checks, we arrived at Grand Central on Thursday April 29. There the chaperone for the girls, Aunt Ruth Schwei, met U3. Our four-day stay in New York, with the Taft Hotel as our Headquarters, was a thoroughly enjoyable one. We took our meals primarily at Child:-; and the Automat; and most of the class agreed that Radio City Music Hall, the Ice Show and the All-Time Hit' Parade Broadcast gave us the biggest thrills. Our greatest disappointment was that Beulah and Lorraine had to stay home with the measles. Helen Shatas A Pome Upon a broad hill ir. a little woe town Sets a school with a ventilator going around. There are teachers with grins and teachers with smiles, And all these at times can holler for miles. Tho shout as they may or yell as they please, We know that they still like to tease. Prof Perry, the principal, teacher of science Talks turkey to pupils sent him as clients, Chester J. Abel, the master of joke Enjoys making students with laughter to croak, Marion Esmond, from Ballston each day she does come To teach business classes just how to do sums. Mildred Follett has grade classes one thru four, Docs all she can, plus a little bit more. The next, Audrey Place, who doesn't like rouge, From Albany came to get us to stooge, Now there's a blonde teacher- her name is Rutb Schwem, She wears blue dresses which make her look trim. A wavy haired teacher, Bryan Simmons his name Once came to Galway to give us all fame, All these teachers xve are glad to have found In the school with the ventilator going around.

The fortunes and favors of our class are many; consequently :;e are passing on to our successors none of our lot as follows: Claire Comfort loaves her restless roods and talkative spirit to Carl Sohrnidt in hope that Carl will conquer these traits, for the teachers’ sake.

Stanley Staber leaves his purty waves tb his shadow, Morris Sonic, in hopc3 that .Morris will take as good ca.ro of them as Stanley has. Don't disappoint us, Morris. Disrespectfully submitted, Claire Comfort Betty Male N 1953!' In the myriad sands of time I see many things. We see our one and only senior ooy, Stanley Staber, ' as a dancing instructor at Russell SageGCollege. The lessons he had in gym and at noon have proved to be profitable to him. We notice Snirley Hunter is in the General Electric. ! She is in tne office but sne seems to look after the financial end of the business. Shirley profited from being her class treasurer in 1943 and also by taking bookkeeping. We now see a sign with Betty Male's name on it, and to our surprise we find she in the head of an employment agency in N. Y. C. for maids to seek employment. Betty seems to have profited in having a maid's part in the Senior Variety Show. As we pass by a bill board, wo see Helen Shatas'1 name on it. She is playing in Macbeth. Helen must have gained a lot from her part in Macbeth played at good old G.H.S. A large crowd had assembled in Madison Square Garden, so we investigated and found Claire Comfort putting a group of show girls through their act. What! Are we hearing right. Yes, it's Shirley Palmer as an International Nows Commentator. From whence came her experience, we know not. Helen Schmidt and Lorraine Des Roches aro working hard and hand in hand at the John Hopkins Medical School, Baltimore, as instructors. Shirley Knights is now one of the teachers in Gal''fay High School. It seems tnat Shirley always said, I'll come back to this school if I ov:r get tne chance. Her dreams have now come true. Boulan Oaken is now hard -working farmerette. Boulah always had the desire lor this,. She gained from Earth Science class by knowing the be t kinds of soil. Lottie Leszczynsid , we notxne, has now taken the Vr place of Lottie Lehman. lira Lehman resigned fiav ' position as soprano singer in tn. Metropolitan Opera and Miss Loszczynski has taken it. The Galway High School Chorus gave Lottie quite a start, didn't it'.

Some of our children moved •sway, so we now have twenty-five pupils in our roo.:. V.'e had fun at our two parties, the Hallowe'en party and the Christmas party. We enjoyed practicing for our Christmas operetta. 7 e liked to play the -ames in it, and Humpty Dumpty still sits on our wall. Cur boys and girls gathered up eighty-five books for the soldiers. James Hall's uncle, Harold Hall, a soldier at Satontown, New Jersey, took our books into his ca :p for us. We received a letter of thanks from Lieutenant Rabbitt of Eaton-town who said the soldiers were very grateful for the books. He said that tiae recreation, nowledge, and pleasures derived from these novels would linger forevr. Ho thanked all those who __- aided them in tnese trying times. ... it hi and host wis.iOS tc each and everyone of us. iSarcia , Perry, n prc-school helper, aided us in our book drive. You will soc her in the moving picture with us bringing in our books. We wrote o letter to some of the Galway soldier boys. They liked cur letters. Elwood Denison anid he vrs glad to h'vc a little boy think enough of him to Bond him a letter. We get letters from thorn too. The soldiers like to have pictures of good old Galway sent to them. We like our warm lunenes at noon. The second helpings taste even better than the first. We think lira. Kimball is - dandy cook. We've learned to cat new foods that we know arc good for us. We like to dr-nv pictures to illustrate the poems that Mrs. Follatt selects for us. We have fun going to our movies, .na 'ac liked Guliver1 s Travels the best. Gabby and his lantern tool: the prize in our opinion. We never saw such funny little men brforc. The measles took a lot of time from our school work. Some of us even had two kinds of measles. At Easter v;o had a whole t-blc of Easter baskets with - large basket in the center. It was a pie-cant surprise when we were given n extra half day of vacation. We arc anxious to sing in the Spring Concert -and to have our parents hear our rhythm band.

He carried on for half the year, but then his work in the General Electric would not permit him to keep it up, so Mr. Kavanaugh was ap- I pointed Scoutmaster. During the first p-rt of the summer, tho Scouts went around to houses asking for junk. Then in the late summer and early fall they went out and collected scrap in town trucks. The Scouts collected uo several tons of scrap and rubber, which will be sold to buy co-5 for the Red Cross. Two wore purchased last spring and loaned to the Red Cross until the war is over. There are two patrols, the Eagles and the Panthers. The officers rc: Charles Sndor, Patrol Leader of the Eagles Sydney Collins, Assistant Paul Close, Patrol Leader of the Panthers Lennin Mokoyvich, Assistant Carl Schmidt, Bugler Richard Hamilton, Quartermaster John Kavanaugh, Scribe The troop committee includes Prin, Alfred L.

Tad Fondentz, Galway's star of lest year is now de-voting his basketball skill to the leaguoieading Amsterdam High School. Although only a junior, Ted seems to be going places on the varsity for the Carpet City teem. During basketball season, teams captained by Hume Donnan, Stanley Staber, and Earl Springer played a series of gnmc3 with Donnon's tea : emerging victorious. No BASEBALL1 Those two words are probably echoing through thousands of ears as the high school baseball season is progressing. .■lanj of the smaller high schools will probably put away their bats, balls and glcvo3 for the duration, which scorns to be the case in Galway High. This, of course, is due to the fact that a certain person across the Atlantic got a little careless. Tho result is no gas, no tires and no b seba.ll. Last season was an extremely poor year for Galway. Tho outfield vu olf ud tho hitting was poor except for Stanley St'bor, who ended with an average of 500 including a homer and a triple. Tom Quinn's good pitching didn't get tho support of tho outfield. This was probably tho cause for th . lack o£ success of Galway High's baseball team lr3t year. SOFTBALL was pl-yed in tho pl ca of baseball. Thes-e. games of course wore intramural. The two Captain's wore Stanley Staber °nd Earl Springer, both te ms winning a. game apiece. A specialty was played as a field day with Mr. Abel and Mr. Perry as c pt-ins. mr. Abel's team won in -tough battle. Stanley Staber THU hsld it 3 offleers r.
