BLANDING If l940 Urflliwf FDIQEWUIQD The last fence has finally loomed up, and the sun is near setting. With it the four years of our chase in G. H. S, are on the Wane. It has been our aim throughout this book to recall our adventures in the pursuit of that most coveted of all hunt trophies, our diploma. Delightful memories, worth-while friendships, a realization of the importance of cooperation and adjustment- these virtues associated with our school life are here likened to the satisfactions of a successful fox hunt, But this, we hope, is not to be our last hunt. We are looking forward to many more-so let us wind our horns, and a-hunting we will go! VALLEY BUG LE '40 l MR. FRANK DRLIRY HAYES D e d i c a t i 0 n To MR.

H. S. owe much. He has been our leader for the past two years, and now, as we near the end of our chase, we would like to salute a grand leader, and a staunch friend, Mr. Harold Hoffman. 4, Ut Q , ' 1 .ll Board of Education l Much of the credit for a successful school must go to our Board of Educa- tion. Each of its members has some special interest in the institution. Mr. Sipple keeps a close watch on the buildings. Dr. Allen and Mrs. Hunter see that we get good teachers. Mrs. Muir helps keep our library and the home- making departments up to date. Mr. Herdeg audits the books for all extra- curricular activities. Mr. Schaack Watches over playground and athletics. And finally, Mr. Metz, the Clerk of the Board, keeps all its accounts. This is the group, which, through its cooperativeness and understanding make possible our fine school.

The Student Council sponsored a training school for club officers, aided the faculty as hosts to the Western New York Teachers' Association meeting, and undertook regulation of traffic in the halls. The Student Council also sponsored a leap year dance, a trip to a basket- ball game at Cattaraugus, and several pep rallies. Honor Students These are the students who throughout the year have maintained an average of 90 per cent or better. There is a popular belief that to be an honor student one must have super- natural abilities. We cannot help but dispel this feeling, for we associate with them daily and we can find nothing supernatural about them. There 'is another rumor that an exceptional scholar spends his time poring over books. While this is true to some extent, many of these students excel in extra-curricular activities such as the various sports and clubs. They are the cream of the crop, and we offer our congratulations.

The rooms of the Iunior High are represented in the Student Council, but the students have their own clubs consisting of the Dramatic, Science, Hobby, Craft, Social, and Congress clubs, meeting bi-weekly. The Iunior High also presents its own assembly programs. This group seems capable of continuing the high scholarship standards of Gowanda High and Coach Hillis says that there is a wealth of athletic ability for future Gowanda teams.

We held our organization meet- ing on November tenth and elected the following officers: President Iohn Witherell Vice-president Doyle VanCise Secretary lrvine Iohnston Treasurer Suzanne Faucher The night of April nineteenth was the most exciting night in the year for the Freshman Class! lt was the night of the Class party. There were a few unexpected, exciting events which served to make the party more enjoyable. I am sure that when the freshmen grow older and become more sophisticated, fwe hopej, they will always remember their freshman party. CLASS OF 1 9 4 3 - , .. . , as . K ':.mLtuT2.ffa..M B. Allen. C.

Class of A1942 Excitement filled the air when we first entered into Gowanda High School to begin another year as successful as our Freshman year had been. We soon found how nice it was to be one of the upper classmen. No more were we looked upon as green freshmen: now we became respected by the mighty Seniors. After a few weeks of school had passed we decided it was time to elect our class of- ficers. After our first meeting the following officers were elected: President, Harry Krall: vice- president. Aline Allen: secretary, Helen Myers: treasurer, Mary Margaret Ryder. Our next big event was the Sophomore skating party. It was held February 22, In our estimation this was the best party of the year. Many of us decided that this year was the time to make our impression in athletics. The girls as well as the boys tried out for different sports: their efforts were rewarded a hundred- fold when at the end of school, many received letters and insignias, After such a happy and successful year, it is with great joy that we look to our Iunior year and anticipate that it will be as successful as this Sophomore year. 12 -v . .

December 4th saw us doing many a figure eight at Nick Anckner's skating rink. Shortly after Washington's birthday-- eb. 24th, a Iunior Party was planned. There was no prolit, but with dancing, ping pong and eating, we had a marvelous time. The main event of the year, the Iunior Prom on May 10th, was also a great success. To raise money during the basketball season, the girls sold candy at the games. ln all we have had a swell year, but we are looking forward to becoming the big shots of the school, the seniors of next year.

Senior Class History As a fitting climax to an already brilliant three year career at Gowanda High School, the largest senior class in the history of the school enjoyed 'its most valuable terms under the leadership of Robert Allen, president: Levant Himelein, vice-president: Leora Schmitt, secretary: and Tom Hart, treasurer. After making a huge success of our magazine campaign, we held a Football Dance in the school gym under the management of Mary Armes. On March 14th and 15th the Senior Play, a comedy-mystery show named Tree Points Inn, was presented. The Valley Bugle Staff, headed by Frank Ribbel, editor, cooperated with Mr. Blanding, the faculty advisor, to make this Valley Bugle a great success. With regret, we are looking forward toward Commencement. After electing Iames Vaughn, president: Dorothy Capella, vice-president: Adeline Walgus, secretary: and Premo Gelia, treasurer, we held our Iunior Prom at the Gowanda Club under the direction of Bob Allen. Outstanding at the Prom were the decorations ancl the music of Charlie Gleed. Our only other social event of the year was the ever-enjoyed Iunior-Senior picnic at Crystal Beach. In our sophomore year we chose Robert Allen, president: Tom Hart, vice- president: and Levant Himelein, secretary and treasurer. For the first time in many years we collected dues and with the money had a successful picnic at Valentine's Flats. After a very tasty meal we spent the remainder of the day playing games and swimming. And now, last but not in the least forgotten, comes our freshman year. As can be expected, it was not as eventful as our other three years of hinh school, but will always be remembered by us when the other years have been forgotten. Because of the great transformation from the grades to the more mature way of living in high school, we spent all of our time learning this new and interest- ing life. Our ofiicers this year were: Tom Hart, president: Robert Allen, vice-president: and Maxine Wilder, secretary and treasurer. VALLEY BUGLE '40 Tree Points Inn This year's annual Senior Play saw the introduction of an innovation in our school clramatics in that the double cast system was used. This proved to be both a financial and artistic success. Tree Points Inn , a comedy-mystery, was presented before large audiences on the nights of March 14 and 15. It was greeted enthusiastically, being the first mystery to be given in many years. Much of the success was due to the efficient technical staff. The stage managers were Annice Gleason and Helen Tuttle. Ioseph Neporadny was lighting chairman: Leonard Strauss had charge of sound effects: settings were supervised by William Thurston and Thaddeus Best. Mildred Bridges and Iudith Dye were responsible for properties, Myrtle Adams, costumes, and lean Ritz, make-up. Appearing in Thursday night's cast were: Betty Wolf, Raymond Wolinski, Tom Hart, Barbara Neilson, Gliver Wilhelm, Stanley Wehling, Adeline Walgus, Phyllis Ranney, Leo Bobsein, Patricia Case, Iames Vaughn, and Betty Olson. Friday night's cast was composed of Geraldine Mount, Stanley Scott, Levant I-Iimelein, Betty Siegrist, Albert Markham, Robert Mesches, George Allen, Dorothy Capella, Maxine DeGolyer, Leora Schmitt, Norton Fluker, and Margaret Westlund.

He had ten lettermen and a number of graduates back from last year's junior varsity. The team lived up to the highest expectations by com- pleting its season, with five wins, a tie, and a loss. This achievement has been unequaled in Gowanda football history since the fall of 1927. Upsetting the highly touted Salamanca Red Raiders in the first encounter of the season by a score of 6 to 4 in Salamanca's Legion Memorial Park, the team showed indications of developing into one of the leading elevens in this district. The following week, Gowanda, expecting victory, was knocked over by the ever-improv- ing Silver Creek Club at Gowanda. The field was very muddy and the Gowanda offense could not get into motion. As a result Silver Creek scored two tallies after blocking two Gowanda kicks and was victorious by a score of 13 to 0. In a beautiful come-back, Gowanda won four successive games, the first of which was played at Fredonia. After showing signs of power all afternoon, Gowanda finally came through with a last quarter tally and was victorious 6 to 0. On the heels of this hard won vic- tory the Gowanda Powerhouse crushed the Lakewood outfit 24 to O. George Hager was in his prime, scoring all four touchdowns, with superb blocking by his teammates, on his famous end-around play, even under the handicap of a snow-covered field. Hitting its peak on the fol- lowing Saturday, the Gowanda eleven romped to an easy victory over the supposedly strong Hamburg team, scoring five touchdowns and one extra point to win 31 to 0. Coach Hil- lis had a chance to give his reserves some much -needed experience in this contest. On a bleak October afternoon, Gowanda iourneyed to Westfield to encounter ak powerful Westfield ag- gregation. Playing some of their best football of the year, but encountering several tough breaks, Gowanda again scored a fourth quarter tally to win 6 to 0. The highlights of this Game were Ed Zawislak's 65 yard dash through the center of the line only to be pulled down from behind on the 5 yard line, and Krainz's return of an intercepted forward pass for the winning touchdown. With a week of rest the boys really worked hard for the Falconer game. Falconer was undefeated and a victory for Gowanda would gain them a great deal of prestige. There was a large crowd. including a large delegation from Falconer, awaiting Gowanda's final test of the year. The field was slowed up to some extent by rains during the week. The game was hard fought throughout, with the Gowanda eleven playing their best game of the season. without their star back, Zawislak. They repelled seven Falconer scoring threats within the ten-varrl line. The game ended in a 0 to 0 deadlock. This tie enabled the Gowanda Club to finish the Southwestern Conference in second place, Falconer and Silver Creek ending in a tie for first place. 31 VALLEY BUGLE '40 First row, left to right: L.

Starting the season by splitting a home-and-home series with Westfield, the local ball players reached a total of 44 points, which is the highest total ever scored by a Gowanda High basketball team. Following this with a loss to Falconer 21-16, Gowanda had already lost 2 games, one half of the total losses for the season. l Probably the outstanding games of the season were those with Allegany, in which we came out on the long end of a 25-23 score, and the first game with Cattaraugus, which was lost in the last few minutes, 19-17. Spurred on by this defeat the Cwowanda Blue-and-White quintet won five straight games over Ellicottville, Salamanca, Randolph, Cattaraugus, and Little Valley, all but one of them being won by 12 or more points. Clashes with the eastern division turned out, on the whole, not too badly for our boys. We won the game with Allegany, and lost a game in the small Salamanca gym. Another game turned out disastrously as the team. minus Coach Hillis. was badly beaten by the Class AA champs, Olean. This was the only post-season game of the year. 32 VALLEY BUGLE '40 Scores of Season Season Standings ' Gowanda 44 Westfield Won Lost 22 Westfield 1 1 5 16 Falconer 39 Fredonia 1.9- 25 Allegany 35 Ellicottville ' 35 Randolph League Standlngs 17 Cattaraugus w L 39 Little Valley Cattaraugus 7 1 15 Salamanca Gowanda 7 1 25 Ellicottville Randolph 4 4 35 Salamanca Ellicottville 1 7 35 Randolph Little Valley l 7 28 Cattaraugus 34 Little Valley 16 Olean Total 450 PLAYOFF GAME 33 VALLEY BUGLE '40 Tr a c k The Gowanda track and Held men wound up their regular season last year with a favor- able record-three wins against one defeat. The boys took second place in the opening meet, but outscored all opposition in the remaining contests. Falconer 60, Gowanda 43, and Lakewood 28 was the final score of the first meet at Falconer. Racing under the lights at Iamestown a week later, the Blue and White began their winning ways with a clear-cut victory over Lakewood and Westfield, and followed it up by winning the County Meet at Salamanca for the second straight year. At Falconer Gowanda topped a six-team field to edge out its nearest rival, Falconer, by a single point and to cop the Southwestern Conference Banner. Bill McGowan, unbeaten all spring, won the 440 in the sectionals at Kenmore and lrving Reiser ran second in the 100 yard dash. Leonard Strauss and Beverly Ross placed in their respective events, the half mile and mile. Irving Reiser led the squad in individual scoring with 282, points, while Bill McGowan with 25 and Edward Zawislak with 23M were runners-up. Varsity letters were presented to Bill McGowan, Irving Reiser, Ed Zawislak, Leonard Strauss, Dick and Bob Cain, Bart and Bev Ross, and Ioseph Neporadny, while insignias were given to Ed Orcutt, Louis Selan, Ray Huch, Walt Rosen, Skip Best, Dean Williams, Mike Krainz, and assistant managers, Fred Yerke and Iohn Holocinski. Although beaten by Bradford in its initial start this year, no one is selling the team short. The return of 14 veterans serves to encourage Coach Howard Hillis' hopes for a banner season.

They were beaten by Cattaraugus in the last match of the season by a score of two to one. Tom Clark, the singles champion, was undefeated in the league, but lost his first match of the year when he journeyed to Salamanca for the County Singles Championship. George Allen and Charles I-lendler played first team doubles, while Tom Hart and Harold Ion Amann made up the second doubles team. This year there may be a drastic change in the line-up, but it remains to be seen. New recruits are Tommy Thrasher, Eddie Story. Frank Ribbel, Harry Fries, and Premo Gelia. With these veterans and several promising candidates, the team has an excellent chance of winning the league championship. 1.1.5-. Volley Ball The volley ball team practiced two weeks before the trip to Olean, April 20. Coach Hillis took eight men, L. Strauss, N. Buckley, A. Baker, Bartlett Ross, Beverly Ross, B. Mur- phy, F. Bassinger, and F. Stibil. The tournament started in the morning with time out for lunch. It was continuous in the afternoon. Gowanda played Portville and Delevan, losing all their games in both matches. 35 VALLEY BUGLE '40 GIRLS . RECEIVING 1 LETTERS First row: M. Selan, V. Kozak. M. Bridges. P. Vance, A. English, E.

Holcomb Sooners T r o p h i e s During the last four years Gowanda High School has won five basketball trophies and five track trophies. The football team has not won any championships, but it has won 17 games, lost eight, and tied four. Our school has been represented on the Southwestern Conference All-Star team each year by two or more boys. In the fall of 1939 Gowanda produced a team that ended the season with the best offensive and defensive record since the undefeated team of 1927. It won five, lost one, and tied one. In basketball Gowanda High has won Hve consecutive Western Division Class A championships and annexed the bi-county championship because Silver Creek was unable to play. The team of 1939-40 had the impressive record of 11 won, five lost, including play- off games. In track Gowanda has won the county championship for two years, winning both the meet and relay cups. Last spring Gowanda won the Southwestern Conference track banner. It was the first meet in the history of the conference that Falconer High failed to win. The track team lost one meet and had three undefeated performers and an undefeated relay team. Gowanda High feels that very much credit goes to Coach Howard Hillis for this impressive record. 37 He Cast off his friends as a huntsman his pack, For he knew when he pleased he could whistle them back.

The duties of the editor, Frank Ribbel, his assistant, Dorothy Capella, and the faculty advisors, Mr. Blanding, Mr. Gannon, and Miss Woodard, have been greatly lightened by these capable co-workers. To lean Ritz goes the credit for the attractive feature section, Barbara Neilson edited the acti- vities, the cooperation of Robert Mesches gives the book artistic value, George Allen com- petently handled the sports section, excellent snaps were contributed by Dick Thrasher, and Francis Schultz made a very efficient business manager. Thanks from a grateful editor. Junior Valley Bugle Staff This staff is composed solely of Iuniors. They have been of great aid to us, and have become more acquainted with the publication of a year book. May they profit by this experi- ence in publishing their own annual next year. They have run our errands, and mounted our candid shots. Their co-operation and assistance is greatly appreciated. 40 VALLEY BUGLE '40 llrchestra This year, Mr. Braman conducted an experiment within the orchestra. By the elimina- tion of all wind instruments, it was possible for more attention to be given to the develop- ment of string instrument players. The results obtained in the string ensemble more than justified this educational experiment. The first performance of this new string orchestra was given at the American Legion Oratorical Contest in March, The orchestra also played for both presentations of the senior play, 'ATree Points Inn , and for the Musical Evening. Band The high school band under the able direction of Mr, Wallis Braman has had an increase in personnel of thirteen members over last year's group. Last summer the band played at the Gowanda State Hospital Field Day and also gave four very enjoyable Saturday evening con- certs. At the meeting of the Cattaraugus County Teachers Conference, held at Gowanda last September, the band presented a holy hour concert, Two other band appearances of par- ticular importance were at the Fredonia Music Festival and the Musical Evening.

These included the Cantata at Christmas time, the Fredonia festival, Musical Evening, and the regional finals at Canandaigua. At Canandai- gua both the boys' and the girls' choruses were declared eligible for the national music meet to be held at Albany. Cheerleaders Starting out with three new cheerleaders, we have spent a very eventful year. The girls had entirely new outfits, which were composed of blue skirts and boleros with white blouses and shoes, while our boy wore all white. Towards the latter part of the year we were assisted by a group of junior cheerleaders to lead the second team to many victories. First row: I. Miller, D. Larson, R. Batchen. I. Himelein. D. Eggen.

French Club As the French Club, or Le Cercle Francais , we spent many enjoyable evenings together in a French atmosphere. Our meetings were held at the homes of different members with Barbara Neilson as President, Levant Himelein as Vice-President, and Robert Mesches as Secretary and Treasurer. For half an hour of each meeting, we spoke, or tried to speak, nothing but French. Our income was derived from fineing a penny for each word spoken in English during these thirty long minutes. Refreshments added the final touch to the many swell times we've had. Leaders Club Forty-eight girls from the Iunior and Senior highs compose our Leader's Club. Our chief aim is to train ourselves so that we can assist in administering activities, such as help in giving skill tests, acting as leaders in apparatus work such as stunts and tumbling, referee- ing games, taking charge of ping-pong, shuffleboard, and other recreational activities, Our meetings are held the first and third Thursdays of every month, under the leadership of Miss Murray, who is assisted by our Presidentfpeggy Erbach: our Vice President, Olga Papa- george: and our Secretary, lean Wilson. 47 VALLEY BUG LE '40 First row, left to right: P.

Llp to this time I will have completed eight years of grammar school and four years of high school. All the while I have been attending school, I have been building a little house. Now it is complete in foundation and structure. I hope the foundation is firm and secure :so that it may stand strong against the evils and temptations of the world. I hope the structure is so built that it will not bend when tampered with. The soundness and firmness of my little house will not be tested until I go out into the world on my own. It will be then that the qualities I have developed while going to school will stand out and become known. The qualities which I possess will help furnish my house. If I am found to be ambitious, honest, and loyal, then so my house furnishings will be made of good material. I should excel in some field or in some character, and for this my little house should be noted. It should be my best piece of furniture, and the rest of my furnishings should match in some way my best article. I could become a clerk in a department store and make good: I could become an author or a poet: I might even become a musician. My name may never go down in history, but my little house could be remembered by people for something outstanding. By the time I have reached my middle age, I should be able to tell what the founda- tion and structure of my little house were made of and whether I am furnishing it accordingly. If I have not done so well, it's not too late to try to do better. Finally when I am getting along in years, I will know for sure what material I used, when I was young, to build my house. I will see for myself how it has stood up against the world. It may look weather-beaten on the outside but be cozy and warm on the inside. If I see that its foundation is crumbling and very weak, but the furnishings are the very best, I will know that I haven't wasted my life after all. On the other hand, if I find the inside and outside both in complete ruins, I should bend my head in shame, because after the good start I had I didn't do better. After all I sincerely hope that in my last years of life, I will be comforted by the locks and good condition of the foundation and furnishings of my little house. I also hope that when I am called to lie down and go to sleep for a long time, I will be pleased with wha: I have accomplished. Whether I leave this world rich or poor, let it not matter: whether my name is famous or unknown, let it not matter, but let it matter whether my little house is in a good condi- tion or in a bad condition. By this way not only I will know how I have lived, but everybody will know. So let us all hope for the best, and in the meantime try to do everything in our power to build and furnish our little house in the best possible way. BY LEORA SCHMITT Second Prize Essay-Warren Parker 56 VALLEY BUG LE '40 And There was N0 Peace Lest I forget what I am wont to say Lest I hesitate, and words all slip away Lest I falter, - lose my power of speech, Lord, be with me, Lord guide me, I beseech. From out our world of chaos and of fear From out our dingy, wretched hemisphere From under clouds of low-hung battle smoke Guide our people, lead them - poor and simple folk. We cry of freedom, destiny, of peace, But spite of hopes and prayers that war will cease We have a war to end all wars again, - More suff'ring, dying, adding pain to pain. Whats to hope for, live for, wish for now? The sword and gun replace the reaper and the plow. God, be with us, guide us, help us find Peace and quiet, comfort for the tired heart and mind. ANNICE GLEASON lg..-.-. ZND PRIZE POEM My Soul Cries Out My soul cries out from the depths of me Like a ship tossed by an angry sea, For things that I know are not to be, For hopes and dreams that so quickly flee. My soul cries out for a pair of wings That I may leave all these weary things, The winters, autumns, summers and springs, That I may soar to happiness on wings. BETTY BETTKER 3RD PRIZE POEM Impression of Spring A warm spring night, a gentle rain, A silvery stream, a country lane, A misty sky, a star or two, A gentle silence, a world that's new. A bursting bud, warm sunlight A flash of scarlet, a flower that's bright, A breath of perfume, a clear blue sky. A soaring joy, that will not die. 1 ANNICE GLEAsoN 57 VALLEY BUGLE '40 Gowanda Glamarities Dramatize the Ads rr They Satisfy - SHIRLEY AND DICK Luxury on Wheels - NORM MOuNT's CAR Mild As May -IEAN RITZ Tropical Beauty - DOROTHY CAPELLA Wines, Spirits, and Good Living - ROGER WILBER Can't Get Started - CHARLES I-IENDLER Conversation at Midnight - PHYLLIS BOLLER Never To Be Forgotten - ANN WITHERELL Sure To Please - ADELINE WALGUS H ii ii ii Peps You Up - ALINE ALLEN Lips That Were Meant for Laughter - EVIE MAYERS The Best in Entertainment - I0 BETTKER Frankly Flirtatious - BARBARA NEILSON Enticingly Exotic - RUTH MILLER Plumbful of Cheer - BUDDY DEIOHN Change Now - BOB ALLEN First Choice Always - MARGARET WAGNER A Dream Come True - IANET GRAVES Tremendous Trifles - GEORGE HAGER Smile of Health - LEVANT HIMELEIN And Away Goes Your Heart - DOROTHY ROONEY Performance Without Parallel - PAT CASE Do You See Billy - LORRAINE TAFT Thrilling Moments - IERRY MOUNT Leave Care Behind - SCOTT RICH Women in Seven States Are Looking For Me - OLIVER WILHELM 41 41 U rr rr U 4. 44 at at at H if U 41 Speed Counts - SKIP BEST Watch the Fords GO By - BILL MURPHY Sweet and Low - DOROTHY HOLLAND A Thirsty Throat - FRANNY SHuLTz Be One of the Crowd - WALT REID We Want More, More, More - BOB PALCIC It Pays to Fly - BOB AVERILL An Inspiration to Golfers - CHUCK SCHOOS Give Your Natural Abilities a Chance - ERMA IRELAND No Moving Parts - IIM VAUGHN For Effectiveness - IUDY DYE This Friend Needs No Introduction - GEORGE ALLEN Deligl-Itfully Light - BETTY IANE Ross Sees All, Knows All, and Asks All -THE STUDENT OPINION EDITORS In the Spring A Young Man's Fancy - MARILYNNE KELLEY U 44 vi if n u 58 PATRONS and PATRONESSES of the 1940 VALLEY BUGLE - 3,- MR.
