PROLOGUE Prologue Life is a building process. The future rests upon the foundations of the past. We, the class of '65, believe that education is the architect of the future. This is why we have named our book PROLOGUE. At CCS we have learned — in the classroom, on the athletic fields, and as participants in extracurricular activities. All these experiences have combined to help each one of us build a firm foundation for our future lives. We have been students of life; now we are ready to become participants. The prologue has been written — now each one of us must write his own conclusion. J % Upon the education of the people of this country the fate of this country depends. — Benjamin Disraeli Dedication We, the class of '65, dedicate PROLOGUE to the entire faculty of GCS: to our elementary as well as to our high school teachers. Through the twelve years of our school lives, they have dedicated themselves to our education. By their enthusiasm they have inspired an appreciation for knowledge that will always remain a part of us. We consider ourselves fortunate to have worked with our faculty. We will do our best to live up to their hopes. BOARD MEMBERS AT WORK: Mr. Lawrence Bartnick.

Sports and Activities: A Prologue The word school means more than a place to learn the basics of academic life The high school of the twentieth century must be a prologue. It must be able to prepare its students for a life that will perhaps be a struggle for existence. We feel that the variety of activities our school has to offer should give every student, whether college-bound or not, an honest look at different subjects. The idea of sports to keep one physically fit is often stressed, but more important is the enrichment of the parti ci-P”6 characters as they learn the value of co-operation and optimism despite the odds, This is also true in our competitive Youth-in-Government program. Every student who participates is able to get a fair look at the political system under which we live in order to better understand it and its relation to our way of life. Without these sports and worthwhile activities, our school would be a place where automatons were trained. With them, it is a mold in which character is formed. Harragin. 3rd ROW: T. Wheeler, R.

Booters Whip Chester and Middies In Most Successful Season Yet Goshen Central experienced its best soccer season ever this year, ending up in third place in the OCL. We had an over-all record of 6 wins, 9 losses, and one tie putting us behind Florida and Washington-ville in league standings. There were two real thrills this year. In the season opener, the Countyseaters handed rival Chester a 3-1 setback, and, as all of us remembered last year's much-wanted-but-not-to-be-had win, the victory was very sweet. The game went through one overtime period with a 1-1 tie, but Tom Davis scored a clutch goal, and Jimmy Jennings iced the contest with another. The second big game was the final match of the season against Middletown. Since Middletown is a much larger school than Goshen and a member of the DUSO league, we were ready for an all-out battle to win this one. The leaky backfield that had been plaguing us all season was finally plugged, and we quickly took a 1-0 lead. The Middies roared back, however, with two goals and took a 2-1 half-time edge. In the third period, they tallied another and the game began to look like a rout. At the start of the fourth quarter, however, we aided our defense by touching a spark to our offense, which had been stymied throughout most of the game. Robbie Gillian finally showed us some of Ids’ speed as he faked the Middie fullbacks and added a point for us with a beautiful 45 foot shot. We had hardly stopped cheering when, on the ensuing Middie kickoff, Jim Jennings stole the ball from the center forward and went all the way into the nets with it. The back-to-back goals had taken just 27 seconds. We were back in the game. As the fourth quarter ended with the score tied, overtime was needed. With just seconds remaining in the overtime, Jennings managed to move to the Middie nets and take a shot. It was blocked by the goalie, bul Robbie Gillian recovered the rebound and shot. This one was blocked by a fullback. Jennings, however, again took the ball. This time he creased the nets with the winning point. Goshen had won! Special mention must go to junior Steve Galle who, in spite of playing his first full game as goalie, did an outstanding job, making a dramatic save of what would have been the winning Middletown goal in the fourth quarter. This year's offense was led by high-scoring center forward Jimmy Jennings, who returned after a year at that OTHER fall sport. He had help in the back-field from fullback and captain Alex Paul. Both Jim and Alex were named to the Coaches' All-County Soccer Team for their fine efforts. Alex was also voted the most valuable player award by his teammates. Since we are losing only six seniors this year: Jim Grippe, Rich Roberts, Jim Gillian, Alex Paul, Pat Oles and John Visser, those of us leaving expect to see a team in contention for the OCL title next season. We're sure the team will do their best, and we wish them luck. We would also like to thank Coach Boss Innocent for his outstanding job piloting the team, for his informative choke-up charts mapping our misplays, and for his order to do extra wind-sprints given to Cardinal fans when the Yankees lost the World Series.

BELOW: Karlos Tamburr awaits the referee's signal to start the match. Goshen's very successful '65 wrestling season was topped only by last year's performance when we were county champions. This year we fared almost as well, winding up in the number two spot behind undefeated Cornwall, and landing two boys as county champions. Our most successful conquest of the season came during our meet against Highland Falls when we shut them out 50-0 behind ten straight pins. Our only league setbacks were handed to us by Cornwall. A brilliant performance by captain Jan Morley who went undefeated in league matches aided our cause. Both Morley and Jim Gillian earned county championships in their respective weight classes. This year, our grapplers are to be congratulated on their fine achievement. Aw, come on ref, isn't that a takedown? asks Joey Cassel. MR. LOUIS SCARANO . . .

Gladiators Surprise on Gridiron This year, Goshen football fans got the surprise of their lives as the County Seaters ended the season with the top offense in the OCL and a second place slot in the county. Coach John JY Young's newly christened Gladiators, named the Cinderella team of the OCL by local sportswriters, put together many fine team efforts on their way to a terrific comeback after last year's disastrous season. The first game of the season was a non-league contest against Port Jervis. Port outclassed us greatly, and it was a 34-0 rout. However, the offense and defense, made up primarily of underclassmen began to gel, and the next game was the league opener against the highly rated Valley Central Vikings. The first half saw sophomore halfback J. D. Bruen turn the right comer for a 60 yard TD jaunt, but VC came right back to tie the score at 6-6. Goshen then was forced to punt, but a holding penalty kept the drive alive, and quarterback Dennis Caplicki tossed a 30 yard bomb to Garf Clark who gathered the ball in on the 15 yard line and went the rest of the way for the score behind Bill Trost's blocking. With two minutes left in the game, Ed Hargrave ran the ball down to the Viking 15, then to the 5, and then went off tackle for the score on the last play of the game. The conversion was good — final score: 20-12. The key to a good offense lies in the defense. Here, the defensive team squares off against Highland Falls. VARSITY FOOTBALL TEAM: 1st ROW: R. Sawyer, G.

However, the next two league games saw a 24-7 triumph over Minisink at home and a 26-6 trouncing of Monroe-Woodbury on their own field. Then, on Saturday, October 31, the County Seaters met a greatly improved Highland Falls team on Oscar Gustafson Field. Goshen took the opening kickoff and promptly marched 81 yards for a touchdown. It appeared to be another win. However, fumbles, interceptions, and over-confidence hurt us greatly, and we ended up on the short end of a 25-19 score. This proved to be our only league loss prior to the championship game. In the next game Cornwall went down to a 27-7 defeat on their home field, the highlight of the game being the very first play. Halfback Duane Bruen, back in single safety for die opening kickoff, gathered the ball in on his own 16 yard line and raced straight up die middle for an 84 yard TD without being touched by a single Green Dragon. Finally, on November 14, a record crowd was on hand in Warwick to see the Queen Village gridders tackle the Gladiators for the county championship. The Wildcats were heavily favored to win, as diey had been county champs two straight years. Yet we had the league’s leading ground gainer in Duane Bruen. The Warwick defense, however, was tough enough to stop the fleet-footed Bruen from turning the comers, and most of our rushing yardage came through the efforts of bruising fullback Ed Hargrave. Our defense, however, could not contain Warwick's single wing offense, and their halfback, Ray Hernandez, scored two touchdowns. We lost by a score of 28-7. Our lone touchdown came on a 20 yard run by Garf Clark, who took over at calling the signals after Denny Caplicki was injured. Although we did not win the championship, we ended up in second place, with the top offense in the league, scoring more points than any other team. Our unexpectedly successful season was due to the transformation of many once mediocre players who were simply tired of losing. Halfback Duane Bruen used his speed to great advantage, finishing as the second highest scorer in the league. Dennis Caplicki also developed into a fine passer and signal caller. Eddie Hargrave blossomed into a bone-crushing fullback, and Garf Clark became a fine flankcrback. Also, our offensive line was possibly the best in the Orange County League. The ball carriers get the headlines, but without the line opening holes in the defense, the halfbacks and fullbacks could go nowhere. Congratulations to all the members of the team and the coaching staff for a fine season. Spotters Innocent and Osgood take movies from high above field. MR. JOHN YOUNG . . . J. Y. . . .

Thanks must also go to special coaches, Mr. Ted Dunn, Mr. Carl Osgood Mr. Richard Dow, and Mr. Lou Scarano, who also did fine jobs. Next year, we expect to see the Gladiators bring an OCL championship to Goshen, since our entire front line is returning, and we feel sure that Coach Young can train enough of the players moving up from the JV team to replace the ones graduating this year.

BELOW: A Monroe defender vainly tries to block Big Jim's shot. This year, the Goshen basketball team was characterized by individual achievement but lacked a serious team effort Victories were few, but they were well earned. It is always hard for a losing team to continue playing, but each week our boys gave it a try. In Section A, we lost all our league contests. However, ironically enough, In Section B (non-league), we defeated Tuxedo, who later went on to become Section B champions. Our only wins came against Tuxedo and John S. Burke. There were times when we appeared to be as good as any other team. This usually happened in the first half of the game, but in the second half, we would have trouble making the team click and many of our losses came after losing a lead in the 4th quarter. Individually, seniors Rudy Wright, Jim Messenger, and Dennis Caplicki bolstered our team, with Caplicki being named to the county basketball team for the second year. Although our team didn't win often this year, we hope that next year's hoopsters, with some boys coming up from the junior varsity, will be more successful.

The tennis team this year, with big guns Ted Soto, Terry Burr, Mike Harragin, Lee Sapier, Ed Dombrowski, Rich Dickover and Jim Jette lettering, tied twice each with Valley Central and Washingtonville while losing to Highland Falls and Monroe-Woodbury. All the above boys are underclassmen, however, and Coach Osgood has high hopes for another year. 1965 Tennis Team: (FRONT) Ron Grippe, George Bogart, Chip Hansen, Tim Bogart, Rich Szefc, Robin ogg (BACK) Jim Jette, Jim Neumann, Rich Dickover, Ed Dombrowski.

We finished next to the cellar in league standings. Coaches Baldwin and Loffredo attribute this poor showing to a lack of hustle. To prove that the team had the potential, they cite wins over previously undefeated Monroe-Woodbury, Middle-town, and Warwick. The boys also defeated Chester and Florida twice each. MR. ROY M.

Meet Me at the Fair On November 6 0 7, our choruses presented their fall show, Meet me at the Fair. As suggested by its name, the show was based on fairs — local, county, state, and the 1964 World's Fair, whose theme song, Fair is Fair, became our theme song. The show included songs by all the choruses as well as many soloists, and small groups. The Junior High Chorus highlighted its performance with a medley from CARNIVAL, and a Junior High Vocal ensemble included, The Big Clown's Balloon in their selections. The mixed high school chorus sang the theme song, Fair is Fair and the mixed and varsity choirs combined opened and closed the show with Come to the Fair. Melissa Chamberlain, Nancy Knox, Linda Musgrave, Prudy Sawyer, Jane Wilcox, and Brenda Witt did a medley from STATE FAIR. Irene Szymanski, Ted Soto, and Brenda Bynum sang from HELLO DOLLY. John and Rich Anderson and Jan Bynum sang Take Toni Paduch brings the house down with her rendition Me Along and Prudy Sawyer crooned Meet Me in St. Louis with Linda Musgrave. Pat Vivian and Jim Grippe sang Fireworks while Vince Zuk and Lava Redfield danced. Vince and Lava also did All I Need is the Girl from the Broadway show Gypsy. Other soloists in the show were Toni Paduch, who sang a lively interpretation of Chicago, Jane Wilcox with Don't Rain on my Parade, Richard Dickover singing California, George Soto and Eileen House performing Call Me Irresponsible and You Make Me Feel So Young simultaneously. The highlight of the evening was the Varsity Choir's operetta Cumberland Fair. Haughty Polly (Pat Vivian) is repaid in the end for her treatment of cousin Phoebe (Sharon Tolsma). Polly's boyfriends Ben (Ted Soto), Billy (Vince Zuk) and Reuben (Paul Dumas) decide Phoebe is the one for them. Jim Grippe portrayed the barker with the chorus accompanying and Jean Armbruster at the piano. A special attraction of the show was the unique flourescent lighting which gave dancers and singers alike a strange colorful glow. The production was directed by Mr. Wright and choreographed by Vince Zuk. The chorus members were accompanied by Jay Harragin, Heather Hoffmann and Sharon Tolsma. Vincent Zuk croons All I need now is the girl to Lava Redfield. It's the big tilings in Texas I love sing Linda Musgrave, Brenda Witt, Jane Wilcox, Missy Chamberlain and Nancy Knox. 14 Ethel (Jane Wilcox) asks Charlie (Vince Zuk) Why not try to make the big time?

In early April the high school chorus, under the direction of Mr. Wright, presented their annual Broadway show. This year's selection was the amazing musical comedy Mr. Wonderful. The show, about an up-and-coming night club singer, starred Vincent Zuk as Charlie Welch. Jane Wilcox portrayed his girl friend, Ethel Pearson. George Soto and Prudy Sawyer as Fred and Lil Campbell provided the outstanding comic team in the show. Lava Redfield played Rita Romano who vied for the attentions of talent scout A1 Forster portrayed by Richard Dickover. This year's show had an unusually small chorus of handpicked singers who boomed out their numbers vigorously and professionally. Another first in Mr. Wonderful was the coordinated scenery and costumes. The bright pinks of 1617 Broadway and greens and blues of Jacques d'lraque added a vivid touch to the movement of the plot. A fourteen piece orchestra made up of teachers and students and special lighting effects from all over the auditorium put the finishing touches on the show. Members who played in the orchestra were teachers: Mr. Stanitski, Mr. Coon, and Mr. Mus-grove, and students: Harry Kolinski, Nancy Messenger, Steve Monat, Charles Stewart, and Norman Terracino. Goshen mathlctes Bill Ralph, George Soto, Bill Dutkiewicz, and Jim Grippe sweat out a real skull-cracker at a home math meet. Math Team Wins! This year, the Goshen Math Team brought home two trophies to highlight a climactic year. For the firet time, the Orange-Ulster Math League was divided into two sections: a Northern and a Southern division. The final regular season meet saw Goshen, with a grand total of 59 points, defeat Newburgh, Washingtonvillc, and Mon-roe for our first trophy. This included a re cord-setting gain of 20 points out of a possible 25 for a single meet At the same time, in the Northern section, Ellenville, with 51 points, was defeating Pine Bush, Valiev Central and Mimsink Valley. 7 ’ At the end of the season, Ellenville and Goshen, the two sectional champions, sharpened their brains for the League championship meet. By solving what proved to be some of the hardest questions of the year, Goshen finally defeated its Ulster County rivals by a 6-5 score and became the champions. Since Ellenville had beaten us for two previous years, the victory was doubly sweet. air offensive tliis year was led by seniors John Visser, Bill Dutkiewicz, Alex Paul, high scorer George Soto and captain Jim Grippe. Juniors included Bill Ralph and George Fogg; sophomores included Mike Harragin, Rich Szefc, and Robin Fogg. Carrie Coon and Nancy Greenman represented the freshmen. Many thanks must go to Mr. Lyons, our hard-working advisor and the other members of the math department for their great co-operation in making 1965 a championship year.

Yorkers Chief Interest — History Yorkers are junior members of the New York State Historical Association, an educational institution chartered by the Board of Regents of the State of New York. Any young person, 18 years of age or younger, and interested in history, is eligible for membership. All Yorkers get a year's subscription to THE YORKER, issued five times during each school year, free admission to the Association's museums in Cooperstown: Fenimore House and the Farmers' Museum, and a membership card. Club members have various other privileges, such as participation in local club and zone activities, attendance at jamborees, and the annual state-wide conventions. This year's Yorker Club, under its advisor Mr. Dow had a relatively inactive year. However, its officers, President Judy Baldwin, Vice-President Georgine Schoonmaker, Secretary Margaret Mann, and Treasurer Denise Tetz, learned much about the purposes and workings of the Yorker Club and are looking forward to a more active, enriching year in 1966.

New Citizens’ Party Gives Peoples’ Close Race During recent years the Youth -in-Gove mment program had become a stale, non-supported activity. In 1964, aided by their advisors, Mr. Grimm and Mr. Hoerup, and special instigator. Mr. Toufectis, the students interested in Youth-in-Govemment decided to liven up the procram at Goshen. K After a hard-fought campaign complete with speeches, rallies, caucuses, posters, and party slogans, the enthused student body made their way to the polls to decide the verdict. Though the Peoples came out on top, even the Citizens agree that this year's Youth-in-Govemment elections, and the challenge and excitement that go along with any close campaign, were among the best ever enjoyed by students at Goshen. Not only did the Youth-in-Govemment program expand in Goshen, but in the county as well. Three candidates from our school ran and won in the county elections. Each party also had several of its local platform planks placed on the county platform. To the advisors and to all the students who participated — a job well done.

The People’s Party Just as determined to be on top this year as always before, the Peoples fought their long dormant rivals cautiously and shrewdly. Following advisor Grimm, Chairman Melodie McCollum, and Platform Chairman Paula Ickeringill, they stuck to their guns while many less loyal party members made the big switch -- hence their slogan We'd rather fight than switch. At first stunned by the sudden force of their formerly weak opponents, they soon recovered to make a grand come-back on election day. The Peoples' biggest accomplishment was the successful nomination and election of two county candidates: Dennis Caplicki taking the top county office of State Senator and Kathy Bartnick winning 3rd Coroner. Locally winning People were Town Clerk: Jane Watson; Assessor: Alan Caplicki; Councilmen: Duane Bruen and Nancy Hoffmann; Justice of the Peace: Jeryl Schwarz; Tax Collector: Patty Young; Superintendent of Highways: Ricky Lempka.

Always the losing party, the Citizens this year decided to do something about their low status. Under the able guidance and leadership of Advisor Hoerup, Chairman, Seth Arluck, and Platform Chairman, Karen Deak, they formed a new Citizens Party, which went all out in its attempt to defeat its staunch opponents. Surprisingly enough to some PEOPLE, the New Citizens rapid upsurge of power caused enrollment to swing 440-375 in their favor. However, the final, and most important battle (at the polls) was lost. Jim Jennings was the Citizens' hero as their winning county candidate for Assemblyman 2nd District. The three local offices captured by Citizens were: Town Supervisor, Annette Rienzi; Justice-of-the-Peace, Jean Armbruster; and Assessor, Judy Vivian. Citizens Annette Rienzi and Karen Deak give a thumbs-down sign in front of the Peoples' Party poster while Chase Hansen indicates her choice. 44 Future Pedagogues Throughout the school year of '64-65, the Future Teachers of America has been involved in varied activities, both at the regular, monthly meetings and at other special occasions. The first big project of tliis year was a coffee hour for the teachers, which was enjoyed by all who attended. In December, several members of the FTA visited the Scotchtown and Main Street schools to receive some practice in student teaching, an opportunity which is valued highly by every FTA member for it gives them first hand experience in the career of teaching. At the February meeting, the Wash-ingtonville and Middletown FTA's visited Goshen for a film and a social get-together. At various times throughout the year, members of the faculty spoke to the FTA about the teaching profession and teachers' colleges. The final event of a successful year was a picnic held at Orange County Park in Hamptonburgh. The FTA had a very active and fulfilling year and gave its members some insight into what it means to be a teacher. MR. CARL OSGOOD . . . head of Goshen's science department . . .

This year's club, ably advised by our school nurse, Mrs. Mapes, has devoted much interest toward the Goshen Cerebral Palsy Center. Several girls spent many hours doing volunteer work at the Center and several well-planned activities helped raise money for this worthy cause. Additional activities consisted of speeches about nursing as a career by nursing students, films, and tours of area hospitals. MRS. BERNICE MAPES . . .

Mrs. Gates, the advisor, also helped make the year a successful one. The FBLA celebrated National Secretaries Week by honoring our school secretaries with red roses. The members of the club also gave a tea to which the faculty was invited. At one of the meetings, former GCS graduates put on a panel discussion on the topic Is College Necessary? Two field trips were made during the year: to Avon Products, Inc. and to the County National Bank to see the different departments available for The FBLA members after graduation.

Although scholarship is the main prerequisite for membership in the Honor Society, the other qualities of character, service, and leadership should not become secondary. The '65 Honor Society proved they had all four of these qualities. In the fall, the seven members who had been elected in their junior year met with their advisor, Mr. Lyons, to elect officers and organize. Those elected were Sara Greenman, President; Jeanette Kolk, Vice-President; Eileen House, Secretary; and Debbie Conklin, Treasurer. The other members of the group were Wilma Gosliga, Jim Grippe, and John Visser. The first activity undertaken by the Honor Society was to act as guides for the fall parent-teacher conferences. They also began giving the daily announcements, not an easy chore with Goshen's tempermental PA system. Then, in January, eight senior members were elected: Jean Armbrustcr, Paula Ickeringill, Ben Keene, Diane Mizwa, Alex Paul, George Soto, Sharon Tolsma, and Jane Wilcox.

Now the Honor Society was able to fulfill its main goal: to invite Mr. Charles Chakoumakos to be the guest speaker at the induction ceremony. This ceremony, in which five juniors were added to the Honor Society, was the culmination of a year of hard, but fruitful effort. The five juniors inducted were Kathy Bartnick, George Fogg, Terry Gillian, Malcolm Stewart, and Karl Tamburr. The last formal activity of the Honor Society was to hold a tea for Mr. Chakoumakos and the new members. TTiere is no doubt that this Year's Honor Society has established a precedent of action and participation in school affairs for future Honor Societies to follow.

OFFICERS PLAN ACTIVE YEAR: President, Dennis Caplicki; Secretary, Shelley Temchin; Treasurer, Nancy Messenger; Vice-President, Annette Rienzi. 54 This year our General Organization has worked very efficiently under the leadership of President Dennis Caplicki. Dennis, who attended a conference for student council presidents this summer, inspired our G. O. with new ideas acquired there. Assisting Dennis were Annette Ricnzi, V. P. ; Shelley Temchin, Secretary; and Nancy Messenger, Treasurer. The activities of the G. O. were varied. In the fall, the G. O. sold football programs at the home games. Throughout the year, G. O. members spent their study halls on the student patrol maintaining order and peace in the halls. On December 10, an assembly on sound was sponsored by the G. O. to help raise money for their scholarship. Early in 1965, the G. O. headed the process of choosing a school mascot and name. Gladiators won out over all. To finish the year the G. O. sponsored the Junior-Senior Bowl and awarded a plaque and certificates to the winning juniors. The G. O. used the money they earned to award a scholarship to a deserving senior at the end of the school year. This year can be termed a very successful one both in the eyes of die school, which was aided in many ways by the G. O. , and by the members who served diligently throughout the year. G.

Under the leadership of editor Linda Musgrave, the Spotlight underwent drastic reorganization and came out much improved. Several hard-hitting editorials, such as Seth Arluck's on the voting system at CCS, caused immediate changes for the better in procedure. Photographers Gordie Morrell and Cathie Messenger improved the appearance of the paper with their lively pictures. Other reporters contributed articles on class activities, club reports, sports, and book reviews.

Many courses are offered and students are encouraged to sample many different areas of knowledge. Not only do we learn the mechanical facts, but we learn to think for ourselves and to formulate our own ideas and theories. This kind of education, although it begins in school, continues throughout our lives. The facts and ideas we learn in school mold our future opinions and actions. High school education is a prologue to life because it introduces and prepares us for what is ahead. The quality of our education is very important, but even more vital is the attitude we as students have toward learning. Education should be a challenge; it should kindle a spark of intellectual curiosity that bums for a lifetime. The Vital Area MR. FRANK WEHMANN . . . head of Goshen's English department . . .

Students are required to take English for all six years of their junior and senior high school careers. Students in the seventh and eighth grades are taught the basic mechanics of grammar, spelling, ana sentence structure. Mr. Minto, Mr. Gillette, Mr. Horan, and Mrs. Littlefield try to instill in their junior-high pupils an appreciation for literature and poetry and the skill to express their thoughts clearly. Freshmen use their newly gained skills to write weekly compositions and take spelling and vocabularly tests for Mr. Musgrove. They begin their study of classical literature with IVANHOE and GREAT EXPECTATIONS. However, all their hard work is rewarded every Friday by Mr. Musgrove when he reads them mystery and thriller stories. Sophomores continue their study of literature by reading and discussing IDYLLS OF THE KING and SILAS MARNER. This year, with the guidance of Mrs. Herbst, several enterprising sophomores reconstructed Silas Mamer's village of Raveloe in order to gain a better understanding of the book. The junior year with Mr. Johnson is something of a tradition at GCS. Who will ever forget his exhortations to be unified, coherent, and specific? Precis and reaction papers seem like chores at first, but juniors gain practice in finding the meanings of long paragraphs — a skill which becomes invaluable for the regents. Juniors who study with Mr. Taylor do extensive reading and discussing of American literature such as THE SCARLET LETTER and MOBY DICK. As seniors, GCS students study the literature of England with Mr. Wehmann. From BEOWULF to PYGMALION, seniors explore the meanings of England's literary masterpieces. Through critical essays, term papers, and oral reports seniors learn to analyze many different types of literature. Also offered at GCS are public speaking and drama, both taught by Mrs. Frank. Students taking public speaking learn the arts of effective speechmaking, debating and oral reading. Drama students learn the history of drama and techniques of acting and producing. 60 The Past — A Key to the Present Knowledge of history is of the utmost importance in today's world. To be able to understand the events that are occuring now, one must know what has happened in the past. The Social Studies department at GCS offers a complete and varied program of history, which is a required course for six years. Seventh graders, under Mr. Croswell and Mr. Dow, begin their study of history with New York State. They learn the geography and historical background of our home state and how to read and understand maps. Eighth graders, taught by Mr. Klutschowski, undertake a survey of American history with emphasis on the Revolution, the Civil War, and the industrial revolution. Freshmen begin their high school careers with a comprehensive study of world geography. With Mr. Baldwin as their teacher, they learn the location, important products, and physical features of all the countries of the world. With this geographical background, sophomores begin a survey of world history taught by Mr. Grimm. They begin with ancient Greek and Roman culture and continue their studies up to World War II. They learn the important events that have guided the destiny of the world and the reasons for these events. After their World History regents are over, sophomores are ready to begin their study of American History. Juniors continue the study of American History that they started as eighth graders. In greater detail, they trace the developments of American culture from 1492 to the present. They study the Constitution, the growth of the two party democracy and the role of the United States as a world leader. This year, with Mr. Hoerup as their teacher, the juniors also paid careful attention to current events. This year the Social Science department instituted a new program for seniors. They studied basic economies for half a year and sociology for the other half. One requirement for the sociology course was a six month term project, for which each senior researched on his own a problem of contemporary American society. Also tried for the first time by that slave driver, Mr. Toufectis, was an independent study project in which seniors read books outside of class and were tested on them. MR.

CCS is fortunate to have a comprehensive science program which increases in depth and scope as students reach the higher grades. Junior high students receive their first lessons in elementary chemistry, biology, physics, and the theory of scientific method from Mr. Cullen, Mr. Mazzone, Mr. Lengel, and Mr. Loffredo. Ninth graders take their first regents course: earth science. This year, under the guidance of Mr. Lengel, they are learning basic facts about geology, the solar system and weather. They become acquainted with common rocks and minerals through classroom lectures and first-hand observation in the lab. The next step in Goshen's science program is the study of biology undertaken in the sophomore year with our beloved Mr. Osgood. No one who has taken this course will ever forget the smell of formaldehyde or the dissection of his first frog. Also studied this year are the plant and animal phyla, heredity and evolution, and diseases. Those students who do not take biology, are offered a one semester course in Health. They study first aid, conservation, and the structure and function of the human body. Once the hurdle of the biology regents is overcome, students are ready to move on to the fascinating world of chemistry. Mr. Stanitski instructs his eleventh grade students in the mysteries of acids and bases, atomic structure, and the metric system. Twice a week, chemistry students perform experiments in the lab. Their conclusions are discussed in weekly written reports. The periodic chart becomes a familiar aid. Finally, in June, comes the most dreaded test of all — the chemistry regents: a three hour nightmare of formulas, calculations and frantic scribbles usually followed by complete collapse. However, once this challenge is met and passed, students move on to the final study of high school science: physics. Seniors taking physics with Mr. Mazzone study mechanics, heat and light, electricity and nuclear physics. Through their lab work, they learn to verify fundamental physical principles. MRS.

New (and Old) Math The world of numbers is vast, complex and sometimes frustrating, but no one can deny the importance of a good mathematical background for today's science-oriented society. This year, under department head Mr. Lyons, several innovations were introduced. Modem math was taught in the junior high for the first time, and seniors in the 121 math course took their regents in January, thus giving them an extra half year for advanced work. Our junior high math teachers, Mrs. Heinzelman and Mrs. Rhoda, begin instilling important mathematical concepts early in the year. Seventh and eighth graders study graphs, number systems and elementary geometry and algebra. Ninth graders under Mrs. Coon and Mr. Bluestein make their first acquaintance with the Cartesian system, linear equations and set theory. The first regents course in math is plane geometry which is offered in the sophomore year. With Mrs. Heinzelman as their teacher, tenth graders learn to prove theorems, construct triangles and find the areas of various geometric forms. Sophomores also study elementary symbolic logic. Eleventh grade math students encounter the intricate world of trigonometry. Juniors explore the mysteries of secants, quadratic equations and identities. Regents week is a time of tense studying, and students begin the test with minds bursting with three pages of vital formulas. However, thanks to the expert teaching of Mr. Lyons, most juniors emerge unscathed from this ordeal and are ready to begin their final year of math at GCS. Math 12, again taught by Mr. Lyons, is a culmination of five years of math. Using their algebraic and trigonometric backgrounds, seniors explore in greater depth equations, complex numbers and functions. Seniors are also introduced to probability, variations and calculus. j. hokiha.nd MRS. SANDRA RHODA ...

Not only does it increase our understanding of other cultures, but it helps us understand our native language and, thus, ourselves. Goshen offers three languages: French, Spanish, and Latin. Students begin to study the language of their choice in junior high, and by the end of 8th grade they have completed one year of language study. As freshmen, all language students begin their second year of study of their respective languages. They learn the basic grammar and vocabulary. Latin II students prepare for their two-year regents by learning declensions, tenses, and cases.

Many Frosh Activities Set Pace for Year The class of '68 has weathered their first year as high school students very successfully. They have had many accomplishments and can be justifiably proud of their contributions as a class and as individuals. Early last fall, candidates embarked upon their campaigns for the various class offices. Andy Poh was elected president, while Nancy Hoffman overcame several opponents to become vice-president. Mary Lou Schultz was elected as class secretary, and Brian Caplicki as treasurer. Mr. Lengel and Mrs. Heinzelman accepted their posts as class advisors and the freshmen were ready to begin an active and fruitful year. The first financial venture was a spaghetti dinner which, after several postponements, turned out to be a smashing success. The freshmen added $150 dollars to their treasury. In order to supplement their growing treasury, the freshmen held a car wash in March, which netted a total of $70. In other areas of school life, the class of '68 has also been active. Many freshman boys showed great skill and potential in the various sports. A good number of freshmen were on the first teams in junior varsity football, basketball, and baseball. Mary Lou Schultz, Dolores Walters, and Susan Gross cheered their classmates on as JV cheerleaders. MRS. BACH'S HOMEROOM: FRONT: L. Smith, B. Wosneski, D. Walters, R. Smiley, P. Warren. 2nd ROW: C.

Others made contributions to the Spotlight, the East Coast Model United Nations, and the Youth-in-Government program. Numerous freshman girls appeared on the athletic fields, forming a skilled and essential part of the various teams in competition against other schools. The freshmen have had a very active and successful year which will be looked back on with pleasure as a fulfilling year. Freshmen file out of the auditorium after an assembly.

Led by President Cindy Howe, VP Bob Lempka, Secretary Lynn Bialas, and Treasurer Cheryl Roll, the sophomores have had a very active year participating in all areas of school activity. They started off their fund raising activities with a bake sale in November and continued them with the twice-postponed March Winds dance, which turned out to be the most successful dance of the year. Drum majorette Irene Szymanski led the band through its paces during the football season with JV cheerleader Pat Wosneski prompting the yells. Duane Bruen, star halfback, made a place for himself in the annals of GCS's football history, while mathletes Rich Szefc, Mick Harragin, and Robin Fogg improved our vie -torious math team. Mick Harragin also contributed his skill to Goshen's tennis team. On the political scene, election time saw many sophomores as Youth-in-Government candidates and committeemen. Shelley Temchin took faithful, accurate notes as GO secretary, while other sophomores contributed their talents to the chorus, dramatics club, and the Spotlight. Nancy Eklund represented die sophomores as a reader at the Orange County Reading Festival held at OCCC. All in all, the sophomores had a very busy and successful year, proving themselves well equipped to meet the rigors of being next year's junior class. MRS. ISABELLE HERB ST . . .

Juniors Make Presence Felt in All Phases of GCS Life The juniors got off to a flying start this year by re-electing Jim Jennings as president, Bill Trost as vice president, and Janice Hawkins as secretary. Jeryl Schwarz was elected as treasurer. Jim Jennings quickly proved his leadership abilities by being able to control and organize 150 vociferous juniors. Mr. Klutschkowski and Mrs. Sprague were elected as advisors. Football and soccer concessions were started and the juniors were off and running for a hectic year. While the crowd ate the junior's hotdogs and candy, the teams were cheered to victory' by varsity cheerleaders Kathy Bartnick, April Cosgrove, and Jeryl Schwarz and JV cheerleaders Carol Cincimino, Sue Ellen Crist, Lava Red-field and Prudy Sawyer. As fall progressed, the juniors hit the political trail. At the primary here, Jim Jennings of the Citizen's party was nominated for Assemblyman 2nd District and Kathy Bartnick of the People's party was nominated for Coroner. After a tough campaign, the county voted to put both of them in office. Winter found the juniors deep in preparation for the prom under the chairmanship of Jean Pahucki. There were many setbacks and disappointments, but the juniors, although limited by a budget, were determined to put on the best prom ever, and worked on despite all obstacles. In early spring, a group of sharp shooting juniors set out to defeat the seniors in the annual junior senior bowl. They accomplished their purpose, by soundly trouncing the seniors. At the same time, five juniors were notified of their eligibility for the National Honor Society. After going through the entrance requirements, all five were notified at the tapping ceremony of their election. The junior members of the Honor Society are Kathy Bartnick, George Fogg, Terry Gillian, Malcolm Stewart, and Karl Tamburr. Despite all the hardships involved in being a junior, there was also time for fun. On May 8th, a group of juniors went on Mr. Johnson's annual play trip to NYC to see Broadway plays of their own choice and to eat out afterwards.

On May 22, Enchanted Paradise, the Junior-Senior Prom of 1965 was held in the high school gymnasium. Unlike the previous years, the juniors had to work with a limited budget. Nevertheless, they were able to produce a one-night dream escape equal in beauty and imagination to any other prom. They gym lobby had been transformed into a shimmering waterfall lined with palm trees, while the gym itself resembled a Lost Horizon valley. George Williams and his orchestra played familiar melodics from Mr. Wonderful and South Pacific as we danced well into the night under a billowing sky filled with orange, blue and gold parachutes. As the bewitching hour of midnight approached, the members of the court lined up nervously in the gym lobby waiting to make their entrance. The candidates for King and Queen then filed in to await the decision. Candidates for Queen included Jean Armburster, Carol Fleming, Mary Lloyd, Melodic McCollum. Bcvalie Standish, and Jane Wilcox. Those in the court of the King were Dennis Caplicki, Garfield Clark, Robert Jankowski, James Levite, George Soto, and Vincent Zuk. James Jennings, President of the Class of '66, announced the King and Queen of the 1965 Prom: Dennis Caplicki and Carol Fleming. Amid tears and cheers, tins couple made their way to their thrones to reign over the prom for the rest of the night. Although it seemed to end almost before it had begun, promgoers will always remember the special magic of Enchanted Paradise. Enchanted Paradise King Dennis and Queen Carol realize the meaning of Enchanted Paradise.

Our Picnic at Bear Mountain Wednesday, June 9, was hot and clear as three busloads of joyful seniors left the school. Their destination was Bear Mountain and the long-awaited senior picnic. Accompanied by Mr. Toufectis, Mr. Goldberg, and Mr. Osgood, the seniors made the most of their last outing as a class. A few intrepid people went mountain climbing while others swam, played baseball, and just strolled about. Finally, after a day of hearty exercise (of several varieties) the seniors returned to GCS -- tired, sunburned, and footsore, but happy.

Class Day '65 began at 10:30 on June 17, as the seniors marched into the auditorium to Pomp and Circumstance led by junior marshals Christine Kozala and William Trost. Robert Jankowski, class president, welcomed the parents and students and presented the class gift: iron railings for the auditorium steps. Four seniors: Eileen House, James Grippe, Wilma Gosliga, and Debbie Conklin read the class history and brought back many memories of what had become, so very quickly, the past. The senior chorus sang The Halls of Ivy and You'll Never Walk Alone and the awards were presented. Finally, ledbyG.CX Vice-President Annette Rienzi, the newly reinstated Moving-Up ceremony began. Tears started to flow as the seniors moved up the aisles into the cold wide world — no longer a part of the student body at GCS. From the lobby came the parting message: This is the way the seniors leave, not with a whimper, but a bang. All then left to celebrate their newly gained, hard-won freedom and to relax for a few days before the strains of final exams and graduation.

Class History It's all gone so fast: Eileen House, Debbie Conklin, and Wilma Gosliga read the class history. FRESHMEN In September, 1961, we entered our hallowed halls as pea-green Freshmen. For the first time, our school day began at 8:00 A.M. and ended at 2:35, unless we were detained during 8th period until 3:20. Most of us went home at 3:20. At our first class meeting we elected Dennis Caplicki, president, Mclodie McCollum, vice-president Eileen House, secretary, and Garfield Clark, treasurer. With advisors Mrs. Williamson and Mr. Baldwin we set out to make our Freshman year the best possible. The new wing was being built, and our class periods were often interrupted by mysterious sonic booms or Russian bombs which turned out only to be our buildejs at work. Our noon meal was unique in itself -- bag lunches in the boys' half of the gym. That year was a goods sports year for G. C. S. Our soccer team beat Washingtonville for the first time in ten years, and the football team walked away with the Little Three Cup. In spring, our baseball team became champs with an 18 game winning streak. Through the year, we enjoyed the musical and dramatic productions of Broadway Revue, Carousel and Our Town. We also listened to music by our own freshman combo -- the Septones — at our spring dance the Soda Pop Hop. In February the weatherman treated us to a week off from school due to a light snowfall. After that, June came rather quickly, and we found ourselves at a farewell ceremony for Mr. Gustafson, Principal at Goshen for 12 years. With the Earth Science regents over, we celebrated our freedom with a freshman picnic at Round Lake and settled back for the summer. SOPHOMORES As rusty sophomores, we elected Garfield Clark, president, Vincent Zuk, vice-president, Beverly Gauthier secretary, and James Levite, treasurer. Our advisors were Mrs. Heinzleman and Miss Cooper. Mr. Bartnick’had aho started 306 GuSta SOn’ and Mr Stewart became vice-principal. Five minute homeroom periods were Our sophomore year was a busy one. We organized a much needed Pep Club and held two dances: Winter Wonderland and Rockin' Rabbit. We also held a car wash and a bake sale. Many of us appeared in the °f th ycar Something Tuneful, The Admirable Crichton, Fumed Oak, and the unforgettable Bye Bye Birdie. Our football team lost the Little Three trophy, which is yet to be retrieved. To compensate for our sorrow, we burned Warwick in effigy before our home basketball game with them. We lost anyway. Our baseball team finally lost to Middletown after a 21-game winning streak. Our wrestling team alone proved victorious -- second in its league. p Towards the end of the year, we began dreading the world history regents. Most of us made it through, however with only minor scars. Moving-Up Day was eliminated and replaced by Senior Class Day. Once again we iov- ’ lully departed for the summer — this time in anticipation of our junior year JUNIORS As gay, young juniors, we returned to school with many thoughts on our big project for the year -- the Junior Prom. To guide us through, we elected Melodic McCollum, president, Vincent Zuk, vice-president, Jane Wilcox, secretary, and Jean Armbruster, treasurer. Mr. Osgood and Miss Stevens (soon to become Mrs. Frank) became our advisors. We were pleased to find our locker sections had finally been modernized — they were co-ed. That year introduced another first: the Powder Puff football game. Our Junior Jaguars lost a hard fought game to the senior team of girl toughies. We took over football concessions as our major money-making project and sweated our way through the dreaded College Boards. The FBLA and Ski Club were organized that year and many of us became members. The choruses and Dramatics Club presented Have Song Will Travel, Time Out for Ginger, and South Pacific. We were also treated to Little Mary Sunshine, whose cast consisted of many surprisingly familiar faces. Though we lost the Junior-Senior Bowl we had high hopes for the following year --after all, juniors NEVER win. Many of us went on Mr. Johnson's annual trip to N. Y.C. to see Broadway plays. The math team became second in its league, under the direction of Mr. Littlefield. We also had a hard-fought G. O. presidential election, which was won by Dennis Caplicki. After finally deciding on a prom theme, we worked steadily to produce a fantastic ballroom in the gym. Our prom, Southern Cotillion, was, of course, the best ever. As the school year came to an end, we learned that our beloved chemistry teacher, Mr. Chakoumakos, was to leave. The juniors gave him a surprise farewell party, as did the seniors. After grinding our way through chemistry, American history, and English 11 regents, we gratefully fell into our lazy summer routines, waiting to become seniors at last. SENIORS Last fall, as the senior class of 1965, we began our last school year at CCS. As our final class officers, we chose Robert Jankowski, president, Jean Armbruster, vice-president, Beverly Gauthier, secretary', and Hal Chiron, treasurer. Our advisors were Miss Versusky and Mr. Osgood. As Mr. Collins, the Supervising Principal had left, Mr. Bartnick took his position, and Mr. Stewart became Acting Principal. Mr. Mcmmclaar was also added to the staff for enforcement purposes. Our yearbook got under way, led by Editor Sara Greenman and we sat through senior pictures in the auditorium lobby. Our plans for a second Powder Puff football game fell through when the junior girls couldn't make up their minds whether to kill the senior girls or each other. November brought Youth-in-Government and a renewed interest in the entire program due to the aid of a certain unbiased history teacher. Two of the three top county offices went to Goshen pupils. r To make money for the yearbook and for our class gift to the school, we sold basketball concessions, sweatshirts, and newspapers. We also held a senior-faculty basketball game between our senior boys and the men teachers. Our boys had a bad night, as they lost to the senior girls as well as to the faculty. In the winter, we took senior College Boards and enjoyed the choral production Meet Me at the Fair. As spring came, many of us participated in Mr. Wonderful, the last Broadway production for us. We journeyed with Mr. Toufectis to the UN and waited impatiently for college acceptances. The Honor Society brought back Mr. Chakoumakos as their induction speaker. We all enjoyed listening to our old friend expound on the importance of getting the most out of life. The math team became first in its league by defeating Ellenville. As for the Junior-Senior Bowl -- well, juniors ALMOST never win. The junior prom Enchanted Paradise was a night to remember for most of us. Dennis Caplicki and Carol Fleming became our king and queen. Many of us finished off prom weekend at High Point the next day. On June 9th, we went to Bear Mountain for our class picnic. As the school year drew to a close, we attended the sports, academic, and attendance awards assemblies. On June 17, we were honored at the Senior Class Day assembly. Now, we had only one more event to look forward to: graduation. And at Last . . . Our Graduation Graduation occurs every year all over the country. Yet, each time, it is a very special occasion, both for the graduates and their families. It is the end of a long road, but it also signifies the beginning of a new life. These are thoughts common to every senior, and Goshen's seniors were no exception. Their mixed emotions of sadness and gaiety were evident in their strained faces and subdued talking as they gathered in the halls. At 6:30, all 114 lined up in the gym to make their entrance as the Class of '65. They marched out through the front doors to their seats to the familiar tune of Pomp and Circumstance led by Junior Marshal Chrisine Kozala and William Trost. After the Invocation by Right Reverend Monseigneur Thomas McCaffrey, salutatorian Jeanette Kolk spoke on the need to conform to the rules of society. The Varsity Chorus, directed by Mr. Wright, sang Sanctus and Give Me Your Tired, Your Poor. Scholarships were awarded to sixteen surprised and pleased seniors. Sara Greenman, valedictorian, spoke on the right and the obligation for each one of us to criticize our society. Then, the big moment finally arrived as, one by one, the seniors walked across the platform to receive their diplomas from Mr. Edward Caplicki, President of the Board of Education, and Mr. Robert Greenman, a Board member.The Reverend Father Gerald Boyle asked the Benediction, and the seniors marched out. They assembled in the gym to receive congratulations, and then departed to celebrate their well-earned freedom. SCHOLARSHIP WINNERS National Honor Society Scholarship...............
