Galway Central High School - Piper Yearbook (Galway, NY)

P. T. A. The Parent-Teacher Association of the Galway Central School has met the first Wednesday of each month from October through May. The Program Committee has as its theme for the year: Building a Deeper School Spirit and as its aim: To create a spirit of school citizenship in parents, children and teachers. Each meeting has been integrated into this theme. The Ways and Means Committee has sponsored a series of Pie Parties, well attended and financially successful. The annual Harvest Auction was also a successful project. The Membership Committee has reported a total of more than one hundred twenty members of which about 37% are fathers of children in school. Our Hospitality Committee helped end each meeting with a friendly chat over a cup of coffee or cocoa. The Student Loan Committee is anxious to have the parents of boys and girls graduating from high school, know that a loan may be made available to a graduate wishing some assistance in continuing his education or training, whether it be in a course of a few months or four years of college. The Executive Committee hopes that the large number of parents and teachers who have continued to attend the meetings, have put themselves forward and made new friends among the people of the whole central district. May we all keep in mind that one of the objects of the Parent-Teacher Association is: To bring into closer relation the home and school that parents and teachers may co-operate intelligently in the training of the child. 27

Hay rides This year we had three hayrides. Two were sponsored by the Juniors and one by the Seniors. The first hayride ran into a little trouble. It started raining and then to top it all off the wagon broke down. Later, however, everyone enjoyed themselves eating and dancing. The next hayride was more enjoyable because it was held on Friday, the 13th of November. A Superstition Party was held after the hayride. Many games were played and there was cider, donuts and hot dogs for all. Needless to say, everyone enjoyed themselves. Roller Skating Party A new form of entertainment was introduced this year — roller skating. The roller skating parties were given by the Junior and Senior Classes. At these parties we were gratefully chaperoned by the Mealys, the Lampes, the Browns and the Faheys. Everyone enjoyed themselves. It was an opportunity for everyone to learn to skate. Spaghetti Supper The Senior Class held a Spaghetti Supper at the high school on January 25. The supper was cooked by Mrs. Art Gerardi and Mrs. Sam Gerardi. The Senior girls waited on the many people who attended the supper. This project turned out quite successfully and netted a good profit for the Seniors. West Point Trip On Saturday, November 11, 1950, at 7:15 a.m., forty students from Galway Central School started out on an all-day trip to West Point to watch the Army-New Mexico football game. We were chaperoned by Coach Mealy and Gordon Link. Cecil Anibal drove the bus. Around noon time we stopped on Storm King Highway to eat lunch, shortly after which we arrived at the Academy. Before the game started the spectators witnessed a full dress parade of the cadets. Around 2:00 p.m. the game started and it was Army’s game all the way. The final score was Army 51, New Mexico 0. Immediately after the final whistle blew, the Galway students started for home. We arrived at 9:00, tired but happy. It was an enjoyable trip and we all hope there will be more like it. 26
