When we think of its connotation, we should also give thought to those staunch men of old who also fought for our way of life, men like Thomas Iefferson, who unlike scores of unknown warriors, did receive the acclaim worthy of his efforts. Although Thomas Iefferson was criticized by many, those who have studied his life and accomplishments can find little at fault. In Iefferson, one may find the earliest budding of what could be called the future American tradition. Had he been merely a writer, a states- man, a plantation owner, or a soldier, it would be easier to evaluate his work, but since he was as well, an educator, architect, mathematician, astronomer, scientific farmer, musician, equestrian, and inventor, one could not go into detail without including every aspect of his abundant life. He was, a man, whose mind was so versatile, that he himself was the most marvelous of wanderersf' Thomas Iefferson, reared in a strong Virginia home, had such a deep and sincere sense of obligation, and had such strong principles, that he had no love of politics and the game that it was, although he was a political figure until the last years of his life. ln the Declar- ation of Independence, his greatest work, he made himself prophet and spokesman for all the true benefactors who have done their utmost to assure their people of life, liberty, and the pursuit of personal happiness: likewise making himself the spiritual champion of the people of our nation. One of Iefferson's greatest accomplishments was the founding of the University of Virginia, which became a model for all Southern colleges. He was called the Father of the highest education of the future South , for he fought desperately for universal education. As President, Iefferson's purchase of the Louisiana Territory strengthened the pioneer democracy. Hand in hand with his idea of territorial expansion was his belief that armies and navies were dangerous to liberties of a free people, and he kept them reduced at all times. Among other contributions to our government which Iefferson had earlier introduced into the state of Virginia were local self-government: maintenance of Indian reservations: a peace policy: strict construction of the Constitution with freedom of thought and speech: abolition of feudal hangovers, such as primogeniture and entail: and the emancipation of our black brothers. Thomas Iefferson, who did not want to see the mistakes of the Old World repeated here in America, profoundly believed in the intelligence of the people: and this measure of trust in the goodness of men as well as his trust in their ability to govern themselves, resulted in principles of American government. These principles, handed down to our generation, have established American ideals. May our boys win in their struggle to preserve these principles of democracy and to extend them to freedom-loving peoples everywhere. ' Van Loon, Thomas Icfferson, p. 32 PATRICIA WEBSTER F 7 - The Class of 1945 Four years ago this class of 1945 began its career as freshmen in Gowanda High School. Looking back, we find that for our first year in high school we elected the follow- ing officers: president, William Krebs: vice-president, Arthur Luine: treasurer, Genevieve Gelia: secretary, Katherine Gelia: and class adviser, Miss Glaser. Our main events were a get-acquainted barn dance held in the gymnasium and the all day excursion to Sunset Bay, which brought to a close our freshmen year. As sophomores our officers were: president, Walter Peters: vice-president, Arthur Luine: secretary-treasurer, Katherine Gelia: and class adviser, Mr, Hall. That's the year we had a picnic at Mentley's Grove. It rained off and on, but between showers we played baseball, ate and danced. Our junior year brought the Prom with its stardust theme and the crowning of Marion Dubaj as May Queen. On the last day of school, with the seniors as our guests, we cruised over to Crystal Beach. Most of us still thrill when we think of the breath-taking ride on the Cyclone . William Edwards was our presidentg Patricia Webster, secretary: Lottie Ligiecki, treasurer: and Mr. Scura, class adviser. It was during our junior year that we lost one of our fellow classmates, Robert Keller. We will always remember him as the rollicking lad whose irrespressible sense of fun led him into all kinds of mischief, the consequences of which he accepted good-naturedly with that irresistible grin which was so characteristic of Bob. This year, after electing Arthur Luine, president: Richard Rooney, vice-president: Harry Spencer, secretary: Marilyn Hubacher, treasurer: and Miss Glaser and Mr. Scura class ad- visers, we ambitiously started off on our magazine selling campaign which turned out to be quite a success. On December 1 we held a dance in the high school gym in honor of our foot- ball team. Our senior play, Seven Keys to Baldpaten, was presented on March 22 and 23 under the direction of Mrs. Simon. We enjoyed bringing to the public this combination mystery-comedy. With all this behind us, and with only regents and graduation ahead, we, the seniors of 1945, will soon be bidding farewell to our Alma Mater . We shall have a pleasant four years to look back upon. -8,- ANDOLSEK.

Gobs MY BROWN AND GOLD RHAPSODY UN MEMORY OF ROBERT KELLER, I call him my brown and gold rhapsody Because, when his eyes twinkled merrily And the sun shone down on his head. His hair turned to gold and to red. Making of his usually brown hair A glow, almost celestial, put there To signify that despite all his charms He soon would be past reach of our arms: And call and plead though we might He'd soon live in Heavenly Light. Again in his eyes did I see Signs of my brown and gold rhapsody, For when they lit with a glow, That, oh, so well do I know, Was a sign of his joy that this life. Though filled with anger and strife, Was the life that suited him well. It made it difficult to tell Their color, just a brown and gold space, Like the freckles on the tan of his face. Like his features, he was brown and gold too- The brown like the brown that you Know means good quality below- As in brown earth, good things grow. The gold was the good that was in his heart Which, had he known that he'd soon depart, Would have more often to us been shown. Oh, if only we had known! Now we say, as Iames Whitcomb Riley did say He is not dead: he is just away.

RAWE This conglomeration is intended to be a tributeito a class. The Iunior Class. My class. Some classl In order to present a more perfect picture, it is necessary for me to give the sum and substance of tlIe past 190 days of school. As it was in the beginning, commencement was on September 18. I fail to remember whether it was Thursday or Friday: it could even have been Monday, but anyhow it wasn't Sunday. It was the 18th, so we commenced. I guess just about all of the original gang from the preceding year were there. I was there, against my will, of course. The early part of the year wasn't bad: not muclI home- work, and we knew a lot, or thought we did. Football was in full swing. Many of our boys were out there. Selan and Thoen, Beaver, too. There was a lot of Iunior class mate- rial getting crippled about that time but I wasn't there-I was saving myself. I forget what for. War bonds and stamps weren't doing so well at this point. We had a dance, a Vic- tory Dance, and we sold a slew of stamps. And then the basketball season began to get going. We were ably represented there, too. Booby Miller and Chuck Perkins were var- sity. Booby got about 200 points that season. Puffy was in there, too. The rest of us. always on the lookout for an easy dollar, turned to Chuck Kvsor for an idea. Lo and behold. an idea sprouted-so we sold pop. Boy, did we sell pop! We managed to obtain a com- fortable, if not spectacular, bank roll through our efforts. Then Kysor broke his leg. Fine thing! Following this calamity was a slight lull which was shattered by the Ianuary regents exams. This nearly knocked the skids out from under our class, but we rallied. Oh yes, and there's another little item, or maybe three little items--Carol Erickson. Frances Mende and Phyllis Pine, cheerleaders three. And while I'm on the subject of girls, it was about this time that one of Davton's emmissaries to G. H. S., Kay Dalrymplc. left us, her place being filled quite aptly by Ruth Fox. Yes, indeed! Again a lull, but as usual, it was the proverbial calm before the storm. The big blow off was the Iunior Prom. This gala affair was run by the deadly four, oIIr class oflicers. As this goes to press, we are still in anticipation of our Prom, but have undying faith in the members of our class. We even hope to make a little money--the silver kind. Along with the Prom came the baseball season, and the track team began to organize. This was in April. Wet? It rained until I thought I would go mad. A lot of the boys pre- viously mentioned were engaged in these two activities. Roger Iimerson was our hurdle man. Bill Thoen tore himself away from the duties of president long enough to run the 880 yard slow death. Bill Eaton also ran. I guess this was what I was saving myself for. As my lingers are about ready to snap, I think I shall close here. But I believe that I speak for all of us when I say that the class will go on scratching its way until it reaches the peak of its efforts, the supreme triumph, graduation. In the meantime, I take off my hat and salute- The junior Class. WILLIAM EATON -27.- First row. loft to right: Miss Ziff, E. Matvkovich. Z. Vannnte, J, Fanchor, H, Allelxsaht. J. Geiger, E. Brooks G.

Sophomores in Mrs. Simon's English class made vocational scrapbooks which were on display at a basketball game. We also decorated the main bulletin board for the month of March. The meek, easy-going sophomores surprised everyone by staging a very successful St. Patrick's dance which met with much approval. We were guided along the still confused path of sophomore life by our advisers, who pitched in and slaved with the rest of us on our dance-so hats off to them! All in all, we've had a lot of fun, and are looking forward to next year. IEAN GEIGER -29- First row, loft in right. J. Martindalv, R. Sprague, J, Stitvh, J. Raiport, A, Trautman. J. Hvinzv. B.

The Freshman Class President - GEORGE MEZZIO Vice-President - - IACK LARSON Secretary - SUSAN HOFFMAN Treasurer - - - TOM THOMAS Advisers - Mas. SIMON - MR. DAYTON The first activity to attract Our attention this year was football, Four of our members made the varsity squad and played on the Iayvee team-Keith Iolls, Bill Elliott, Iim Ster- nisha and George Mezzio. To spur them on, Alice Twichell and Mary Lou Cole were se- lected as varsity cheerleaders. In October we started to work on the Centennial Pageant. Many of us helped to con- struct scenery, while others were learning lines. One of our English classes formed a speech choir, and the glee club presented the musical background. ln connection with their work in general science, Donald Pracht and Marjorie Saund- ers built electric motors. Scott Marritt demonstrated a German field telephone from the Hrst World War. Kermit Woodcock showed us how to make oxygen and Marjorie Saunders constructed a wet cell. Coach Halstead formed a separate basketball team for our Freshman boys. They played a brief schedule and showed great promise for next year. The first team consisted of Ed Llrbank, lack Larson, Tom Thomas, Keith Iclls, and Kermit Woodcock. These were backed by Iohn Pittaway, Brad Webster, Scott Mazritt, Bill Elliott, and Pat O'Donnell. A dance band was formed to play at various school functions and Keith Iolls, Dick Read, and Bill Elliott are members of it. After much discussion it was decided to select junior cheerleaders to direct cheers at the Iayvee games. lean Martindale and Monica Bozich won positions on this cheering squad. An exhibition of work done in the gym classes was presented for an assembly pro- gram. The entire class of Freshman boys exhibited their progress on the gymnasium horse. Our first money making project was a rcller skating party. This was open to the public and everyone enjoyed himself, This spring Scott Marritt, lack Larson, Kermit Woodcock, Don Stadler, George Mezzio, and Iohn Pittaway reported for baseball. Iim Sternisha, Tom Thomas, and Keith Iolls went out for track. Our last big activity befcre the close of the year was our Freshman Circus. This was really something, with clowns, hot dogs, lemonade, pop, popcorn, beauty queen, bareback riding, acrobatics and side shows such as r'ng toss, nail drive, stilt walkers, bearded lady, fat lady, Siamese twins and strong man. Tom Thomas was our master of ceremonies and Bob Toal the side show barker. Of course many members of our class were active in other groups such as the band, glee club, Latin clubs, and Spanish club. The programs were varied and there was much fun to be had as well as things to be learned in all these activities. We've had a full year-but wait 'til you see us as Sophomores!

The assembly program, Truth Or Consequences, put in by the Iunior High Department on February 21, was highly successful. Our class had the biggest part in writing and pro- ducing this program in which the audience could take part. In one of the English classes we made anthologies of poems. George Merrill made a clever cover out of wood and burned the letters on it. Donna Wagner wrote a poem called Mother as an introduction. - gg Another class brought out possible future actors. Richard Witt, Ierry Walker, and Tad Bailey were the very mischievous students of lchabod Crane, played by George Mas- sar. . Beverly Vance and Sally Phillips presented a very humorous skit showing Katrina Van Tassel trying to decide whether her suitor would be Ichabod or Brom Bones. We especially enjoyed history class the day Miss Trovato played the records of Abra- ham Lincoln's death, called The Lonesome Train in connection with our study of the Civil War.

Muir - 41 .- What High School Has Done For Me I came to high school directly from a rural district school with its small, closely knit group. The students of a small school like that all know one another, play together, and the group is very like a family. High school, of course, was an abrupt change. I became conscious for the first time of my dowdy clothes, awkward walk and general lack of poise. The immediate result was self- consciousness, and extreme shyness. I was intelligent and I knew I must make myself get over that if I was ever to succeed at anything. That's where high school came in. I found that I could do the work easily and maintain a good average. I began to get into extra-curricular activities: anything I was interested in and would require association with other people. My efforts at first, were meagre, but in time I became secretary of the ninth year Science Club. The reading of the minutes was agony for me, and for the students who tactfully ignored my burning face and whispering voice. But as I came to know the students around me and to realize that I was no different than they, I lost some of my fear. I joined the Glee Club, Dramatics Club, a Choral Speaking group, a debating group and many other clubs and groups that would force me before the eyes of others. As for my appearance, I had a natural taste for clothes and caught on quickly to what was correct. The awkward posture was harder to correct, but with age, and hours of practic- ing with a book on my head I improved. Now that I am graduating and entering the world of business, I feel prepared, scholasticly and socially, to meet the problems of the coming years. -'IESSIE REID ,- 42 - ALLEN lL.LI AM M UI R GowANnA PU Llc sc oox.

Dad fleft endl: Remodeled halfback converted to end-excellent pass catcher. MENTLEY, ED fleft tacklej: Following the Mentley tradition--no high school football team would be complete without a Mentley in the lineup. MASSAR, MICK fleft guardl: Temperamental holdover from '44-noted for his kibitzing in Polish with Red and Ioey. FARLEY, FIob fcenterj: Outweighed by all opposing centers and guards Floyd can be remembered as the greatest scrapper on our club. MCMANUS, Red fright guardlz Hard working Red showed great improvement this sea- son and was our outstanding lineman- Never give up , a fighting Irishman. MAZLIR, IOEY fright tacklel : Ioey proved to be a valuable man to G. H. S. even in defeat- a fine competitor with plenty of driving power. ANDOLSEK, BILL fright endj: First year man who made the varsity-although inexperi- enced, Bill showed his stuff-spilled many an end run with his slashing style of play. SPRAWKA, Barrel fright halfbackj: Hard driving halfback on cross buck plays fremem- ber the Dunkirk game?l-classy man in motion. KLANCER, Breezy fquarterbackl: With his great love for football he was at home on the gridiron-top blocker on squad with plenty of drive all around'-worked great as quar- terback with our PETERS, Pete ffullbackj: Really great all around ball player--did a grand job as full back-spectacular on the defense-his line bucks made opposing linemen fear him. DEKLEVA, Guts fleft halfbackl: His first year showed great promise for next year's team --specialty is off tackle slashes-quiet, modest competitor with remarkable ability to throw with his left hand. WEYAND, FRED fleft halfbackjz Flashy sophomore back with two more years of varsity competition-great potentialities. 'k 'A' Y it A light and inexperienced blue and white team met some of Western New York's finest elevens this year and as a result, the season was considered a failure by some, but others, with the ability to see these same players with a year's experience and growth taking the honors next year, consider this season a preparatory course for champions of the future. Although our team received the small end of scores like Hamburg, 2-0, and Falconer, 13-O, the boys really showed the true sportsman's spirit of Never say diel , and played the game for the game's sake. f -45- Tup pivturv, loft to right: M.

MILLER, MILAN fforwardl : Booby lived up to his reputation as a phenomenon again this year by scoring over 200 points-with his rare ability at shot making he amazed his op- ponents--he has still another year to tease the opposition with his tricky fakes and swish shots. MORELAND, DON fcenterj: Don in his first year out for basketball played regular center on the team--although he lacked experience he was by far our best defense man- outshown every player he faced in retrieving backboard rebounds-fine spirit. DISPENZA, GEORGE fguardj: Peanuts co-captained our'-45 basketball edition-scrappiest player in high school competition-gave his best performance under pressure-wonden ful floor man with remarkable ability to feed team mates-very consistent player. GAFFNEY, DON fguardl: Co-captain Gaf started out slowly but improved the most of - any player on the squad-teamed with Peanuts Dispenza for some classy screen plays -helped keep our three year record as an undefeated team on our home court by flicking a set shot in last 5 seconds to beat Hamburg 37-36. PERKINS, CHUCK fguardj: Rangy perk showed real spark towards the last half of the season-fine ball handler with promising shooting ability-should help balance next year's five. SPENCER, HARRY fcenterl: Hard working center replacement with plenty of drive around the boards-quietest player on the squad-a grand team man. 'I i' 'k 'k This year the team got off to a slow start but by the time the Hamburg game rolled around they were at their best. This game will be long remembered as probably one of the most exciting and well played games in the history of G. H. S. By this victory and a close contest with Olean we still maintained our undefeated record at home for the third straight year. We lost the Class AA championship of Cattaraugus County to Olean by a 38-37 score. We retained the Class A championship cup for the county but lost the Class A Bi-County championship to Falconer in a hard fought game at Dunkirk. -47..

With Coach Halstead at the steering wheel we went through a very successful season. Dick Klancer came out for his first time and proved to be the star back stop of the league by performing his catching duties with the greatest perfection. He has a strong throw to second and is a powerful hitter in the pinches. Dick Rooney was out for his fourth season and was now a well experienced pitcher. He outpitched all opposing hurlers only to lose two heartbreaking games to Hamburg 3-2 and l-0. He is well remembered for his no run, no hit performance against Silver Creek. Also a third baseman when not pitching. Peanuts Dispenza was captain and second baseman of the team. He is noted for his speed on the base paths, perfect bunts, a lot of chatter, good hitting, and an all around swell ball player. Al Stuhlmiller was the youngest boy on the team, playing a whale of a game at third base and taking an occasional stab at pitching. He is an excellent hitter and one of the best of fielders. Dick Draudt played right field in his first season and was the most consistent hitter on the team. Has lots of hustle and team spirit. Chuck Perkins was out for his second year and played sensationally at short stop. Many batters were robbed of sure hits by his great play. Sweet hitter. Harry Spencer returned from last year's team to play left field and catch on a couple of occasions when Klancer was hurt. Great hitter in the pinches, and humor. Bob Youngberg can be called one of the best fielding first basemen in high school baseball. Pulled many a low throw out of the dirt. Powerful hitter. Dud Krzemein played his first season in center field and made many beautiful catches. Lots of spirit and a great umpire razzer. Ted Stitzel played little but he helped much as a coach with spirit to urge his team to victory. Bill Dekleva had a bit of tough luck at pitching this year but he is young and is very promising and should be a big gun in next year's team. Now last but not least we mustn't forget the boy who, as manager, has gone through all the happiness and misery with us. Chuck Kysor has helped us no end at every game and we are all grateful to him. -49... Track Due to the fact that track and field events were excluded from the athletic program of 1944, there were only three veterans on this year's squad, which was made up largely of in- experienced freshmen and sophomores. Three meets were cancelled in the early part of the season because of rain and cold weather but the boys finally got their chance against a seasoned Nichols' team and bowed to a 38-69 defeat. Two weeks later they took to the cinders again against Hamburg and East Aurora and with great signs of improvement narrowly missed first place with the following scores: Hamburg 49M: Gowanda 44H: East Aurora 36. After that they went to the sectionals for Western New York at Kenmore where they met some of the best schools in this part of the state, lvor Davies starred for Gowanda. taking the half mile in 2:06 and winning a sectional cup. Peters was the only other Gowanda scorer. taking a third place in the 440 yd. run. Next year a more experienced squad will go on to glory for G. H. S. W. Peters 25 G. Patterson 5 l. Davies P.

We are sorry to say good-bye to Mr. Halstead who has been our coach for the last two years. During these two years he has coached some of the best teams that we have had in this school. Last year the basketball team and thc baseball team were rated as the best teams in western New York. Coach Halstead attended and was graduated from Irvington High School, Irvington on the Hudson. He was graduated from Ithaca College in August, 1943. During his college days he played varsity football, basketball and baseball. ln his junior year he was captain of the varsity basketball team which won nineteen out of twenty-one games against major college opposition. He has played with numerous semi-pro baseball clubs during his high school and college days. Last summer he signed with the Montreal Royals of the International League. He has also played with the Newport News team of the Piedmont League and the New Orleans team of the Southern Association. Coach Halstead is leaving to teach at the Greenburg High School, White Plains, New York, which is located near his home. He will always be remembered and admired as one of the nicest persons we have had teaching at Gowanda High School. -51.- U Tenms Teams W. Muir, R. R1-nd. K. Walker, H. Klun. D. Mum-land. F. Wcyand.

Mr. Scura, our class adviser, did a wonderful job helping us plan the dance and the decorations. It all ended much too quickly after such extensive preparations. -58.- .oo:: :::po::::::: :-A-:::Q:::--A--::::soo::ccccoocccccccooocccoo o::oc:::oooc ISUY WAR BONDS Josten's .f-luzcricafs' liilzvsf Class Rings and .llmzozmccments Since 1897 FLETCIHQR Cox, Local Rcpiresvntatiw' Main Plant PU.
