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

Text from Pages 1 - 104 of the 1963 volume:

Zke (jalway Piper It's a rare person who possesses the versatility which enables him to wear a barker’s hat and persuade P. T. A. Fair-goers to bid on a gaudy apron, or don a shaggy mustache and ship-captain’s costume to direct and act in a hilariously successful play, or, in faded blue-jeans, to take hopelessly confused scraps of paper, wood, and lights to create a sensational Prom Setting. Mr. Joseph Swierzowski is such a person. He gives himself wholeheartedly to each of his endless activities while remaining, above all, a dedicated teacher who imparts to his students more than specific knowledge of geometry, elementary and intermediate algebra, and practical mathematics. He suggests as well practical guidelines for living. He may stress the importance of working hard when one is working, of playing hard when playing, of using good judgment in apportioning time and loyalties to activities - perhaps unaware that he himself exemplifies the very virtues he recommends. Mr. Swierzowski can give a student encouragement and hope when a problem seems unsolvable. He will correct a mistake, perhaps chide a flagrant deficiency, meanwhile pointing out ways to overcome these inadequacies. If he believes in a cause, he will back it against any opposition. And then, at the most opportune time, his humor will inspire refreshing, lightening, laughter. Mr. Swierzowski is the ideal teacher as we know him - inspiring pride in accomplishment, joining in sincere, regret for failure, and provoking tension-dispelling laughter when laughing at ourselves is, after all, the best cure. Seniors Each of Galway's graduating classes was composed of individuals; some were more individual than others. One would have to search far into the annals of Galway to find a more individualistic” class than the Class of '63. 3ut this does not mean we don't have memories we will always hold in common. Mr. Swierzowski will surely advise other classes during his tenure at Galway, but what other class will possess Phils and Bruces to tease, treasurers like Carol to split the profits with, or Sharons to fortify the cafeteria with a year's supply of candy and soda for one game? Certainly no sophomore class will again consume as many advisor-supplied tissues with which to mop up adolescent tears, nor will another class agree unanimously on two diametrically-opposed issues in votes only seconds apart. No class will produce its dance decorations, still wet, only minutes before every dance - no class will make the profit margin, either. Upon no class will be heaped as much abuse - and praise. Our teachers can put away for all time the adjectives originated; just for us. But, on the other hand, no class will overcompensate for its sometimes academic lows with twenty per cent of its members scholarship winners. No class will defy prediction right up to those last minutes on the stage when we receive our diplomas and leave - the last of its kind.

This year they have progressed to color prints and have furnished some of the pictures for the yearbook. Zhe Scieuce Club The Science Club was formed for students to gain interest and knowledge in nature through mountain climbing and field trips. This year they are delving into another realm of the sciences by forming a Future Teachers of America Club for mathematics. Zhe Radio Club The Galway Amateur Radio Club was organized to promote radio knowledge and to provide an enjoyable hobby for those interested in radio and electronics. Bowling The Girls' and Boys' Bowling Leagues have helped to stimulate interest in this fast-growing and well-liked sport. Mr. Swierzowski and Mrs. Chapin have given their time to help the students build their averages and become better all-around bowlers. Sports Classes FIRST ROW, L to R: E. Barnes, M. Hoffman, N.

Then, on February 25, 1863, President Abraham Lincoln signed the National Currency Act. This Act established the much-needed national currency and restored confidence. It also made possible the development of the dual banking system of national and state commercial banks. Sparked by this competitive system, American banking has contributed immeasurably to the progress of the Nation, its people, and the world. Did you ever stop to think that your banks provide our Nation with the dollars without which our vaunted standard of living could not have been achieved? A nation without banks would be more than a reasonable facsimile of the Dark Ages. Did you ever stop to think that a sizable proportion of our homes, schools, hospitals... everything that is manufactured, distributed and sold... our roads and communications systems... are financed by bank credit? Next time you write a check or deposit in your bank savings account or borrow to help finance your business, a car, a home, or something you want to buy — try to imagine what your life would be like without banks. lOOTH ANNIVERSARY OF THE NATIONAL CURRENCY ACT AND THE DUAL BANKING SYSTEM NATIONAL BANK •f SCOTIX-201 Mohawk A ve. at Ten Breech NISKAY UNA 1476 Balltown Road at Nott C0L0NIE 1705 Central Ave. at Killean Park MIMIIN fSOSRAl DEPOSIT INSURANCE CORPORATION v Wonder what makes it taste so good?'7 lonuo uNoa auixokhy o� tmc coca-cola company ■ 1 . t; SCHENECTADY SAVINGS AND LOAN ASSOCIATION See Us for Student Loans Under the New York Higher Education Assistance Corporation. 261 State Street Schenectady, New York Offices Open 9 A.
