PUBLISHED BY THE SENIOR CLASS GCIWANDA HIGH SCHCICIL GCJWANDA, New YDRK 2 QEDITORIALD ILINE, 1947 VALLEY Bus E Valley Bugle Published Annually Cowanda, New York SENIOR CLASS, Editor When the Valley Bugle Staff met for the purpose of choosing a theme t'or the yearbook, they wished to find one which would be timely, original, and adaptable. The newspaper theme was chosen. First, we considered the timeliness of the newspaper theme. We thought that surely tlIe newspaper plays a greater part in our lives today than ever before. We recognize the news- paper as the mouthpiece of the nation and the arbiter of public opinion. As the reader turns the pages of our paper, he may judge for himself the adaptability and the originality of our theme as we have used it to relate the unfcensored facts about Gowanda High Schrzol, about its students, about its faculty, Zllltl about its activities. We have recorded permanently school events and we have depicted school activities for the community. We are exercising the same freedom of the press which has become a heated topic for discussion in inter- national circles today. We are entitled to the same freedom -of the press for which men have lived and died. In- deed, the importance of the newspaper has been recognized universally. Only through truthful knowledge may we attain liberty from the dark, yawning caverns of ignorance, poverty, greed, and oppression, which threaten to en- snare and engulf us at every turn of the way. Cowper expressed his own sentiments when he wrote He is the freeman whom the truth makes free, and all are slaves besides. In some foreign countries there is profound suspicion of anyone who is in touch with the rest of the world. The newspapers print little or nothing of happenings in other parts of the globe. Ignorance breeds its ugly and more dangerous progeny-fear. Fear, in turn, leads to submission and to the loss of civil and personal liberties. The people become as ra meek herd of cattle blindly obeying the commands of anyone who may choose to assert his authority over them. They become the masses, losing their distinction as individuals enjoying Icertai-n God- given rights some of which are stated in our Declaration of Independence as inalienable. Among the rights so stated are the rights to life, liberty, and the pursuit of happiness. Happi- ness is destroyed by the fear, the op- pression, and the poverty brought inevitably by a totalitarian or other undemocratic form of government. We consider freedom of the press as one of our essential freedoms. The states of t.he original United States refused to ratify the constitution until the first. ten amendments, which still remain a cornerstone of our liberty today, were added. Among the first ten amendments is the one which states that Congress shall make no law abridging the freedom of the press. Freedom of the press will ever seem as important to us as it seemed to early lawmakers, who were often charged with treason in pre-Revolu- tionary days, when they criticized the acts of governors who were appointed by the King of England. In order to form a more perfect and more lasting peace, we must have free- dom of the press to promote complete understanding and goodwill among all national, racial, and religious groups of the world. Understanding is gained only through a knowledge of fact as given by expert and unbiased men. -HETIFIN AI.I.ExsAHT INDEX huge EDITORIAL - - - 2 DEDICATIUN - - - 3 IXPPRECIATION - - 4 PUBLISHERS-BOARD or EDU:-ATIoN - - - 6 MANAGING EDI'l'0li-PlUNl'll'Al. - 7 CITY En1'rcms-FAc-ULTY - 8 SENIOR HIS'FORY - - - 9 Arr: R.lCl'0R'l'ERS-SICNIORS - - 19-15 WAR ICoaIz1-:sroNpEN'rs- VETERANS - - - 16 FEATURE REPIIRTERS-JUNIORS - 17 BEAT tMEN-SoPIIoMonEs - - 18 LEG MEN-FRESHMl'IN - - 19 Cllli l2EPOR'l'ERS--EIGHTII GRAM: 20 Curr BOYS-Sl'1Vl'lN'l'H GRADE - 21 CALENIIAR ---- 22 EDITORIAI.

Mrs. Schultz has served for three years as a guide and inspiration to all the students with whom she has come in contact. The Class of 1947 wishes to express its gratitude to Mrs. Schultz for her sym- pathetic and understanding manner, for the pleasant etlicienlcy of her classes, and for her sincere interest in the welfare of her students.

Miss Glaser, Miss Dehn, and Mr. Schultz have unceas- ingly worked in the interests of the seniors. They have contributed their time, their advice, and their inspira- tion, Few people consider the time spent by the teachers who work and worry over clubs, sports, and class activities. Teachers receive no payment for the hours spent in supervising the decora- tions, the refreshments, and the pro- grams of school dances. They receive no bonus for the hours spent. on the yearbook or for the time spent with the class treasurer balancing the bud- get. They receive very little verbal thanks from the students for their efforts. The seniors take this opportunity to make known to the public their often thoughtlessly concealed gratitude. r X7 LD 'ge' -'-'Q' at 6.13-9 5224, 510145 News 1,100 S Hlwfwf E -- If 532 NEWS wwe -3 ' ht ld M' NE Waffof D leant bonii 113 K N544 F19 The 1101's0111111l of H111 1101111 fide 11ews11:11w1' consists of H11- 0dit01'S, the z11lvise11's, tllv lllllllll- g91's and all the- XV0l'kPl'S who 101111 fllflll' time 111111 tl10i1' 1:11- Pnts fo the p1'011101i.011 ot' t'1'01- sp9P11'l1 and f1'4-0 tl1011gl1t.

Colo Seniors Express Gratitude for Capable Management The board of education is a pu spirited group of citizens who sp many hours a year in an attempt solve the innu.mera.ble problems wh arise monthly at Gowanda H' School. 'Members of the board ' confronted with perplexing questi of all varieties. Their work m surely provide mental strain wh would ordinarily disillusion even hardiest constitution. Still, the bo members enter vicariously into spirit of high school life. The bo' realizes the hopes and the seemin world-shattering troubles of studen they put forth an attempt to stimuli the pupils' worthwhile ambitions. Students seldom come in close c tact, with the board members, without them the school would fail function, just as a newspaper can function without a publisher. senior class wishes to take this portunity to thank the members of board of education for the ma educational advantages which th efficient .management and sustai interest makes possible for the yo of this area. ic id to ,li h re is st h ie rd me 'd ly SC te n- ut to ot ie D. e .y ir d h XfALLEY BuGLE IuNE,1947 We Bid Goodbye To Prin. H. F. Hoffman We are saying goodbye this year to a man who has made our impressionable years en- joyable, enlightened ones. His undying patience, his sincere interest in each and every student have made our contacts with him a. wholesome experience, in which prob- lems could be discussed candidly in a friendly atmosphere, with the realization that a satisfactory solution would be reached. During the nine years that the students of Gowanda High School have been guided by this individual, numerable improvements in the extra-curricular and curricular activi- ties have been instigated. The new athletic field was dedicated, a distributive education department and an agricultural department have been established. Valuable adult edu- cation classes have resulted from the war training program sponsored during the years of world conflict. Surely these projects, in their entirety, have advanced Gowanda High School several rungs up the ladder of progress. We can never truly express the gratitude which we feel for association with a person who has imparted priceless wisdom into our everyday lives. The student body thanks Principal Harold F. Hoffman for his whole- he-arted efforts to make us intelligent, toler- ant citizens and 'hopes that his every future undertaking will be as successful as have been all of his accomplishments in the past. sold will that Office Communique Managing Editor HAROT,D F. HOFFMAN on the American Way, that you help create a nation so strong no nation with other ideologies To The Class of 1947: Greetings and best wishes. I like to think that your class has seriously tried to move Gowanda High School a little farther upward on the road to democratic education. While we, as individuals and as classes, accept our responsibilities for alert citizen- ship, our school exerts an ever in- creasing force in making the Ameri- can Way of Life safe from any foe. In the critical years ahead, may you and every person who has attended our public schools be so thoroughly will that dare attack us. Let us recognize we have glaring weaknesses which must be corrected -as fast and as nearly one hundred per cent as we can. That is your opportunity. We will watch you with genuine interest. as you go on to school or as you go to work. Drop into school whenever you can to say hello, Though we are parting let us hope that we will .meet often and revive fond memories. Gowanda will always be our home town . HAROI.D F.

VALLEY Busta IUNE, 1947 Highlights of Four Years Made Public Reminiscing We come now to those crossroads Where we must choose the way. Along which we must build the life Of which we've dreamed each day. But just before we choose our ways, We stop to reminisce Through all the pages of the book Of life, so filled with bliss. We think of all the different friends We knew one time, and then. Whofeemed to drift from our small 1 e Not to be known again. Recalling every little dance. And every football game, Every glorious victory, And each defeat the same. The thrill of that first formal gown, The brilliant Senior Play, Excitement of the Junior Prom, And study hall each day. We've reminisced through every Little page of memory. We face the future, unafraid Of things we can't foresee. We slowly lift our faces to The bright and cloudless sky. We ask God for His guidance, We pause, and then goodbye. -Erleen Brooks W Senior 0H'lcers, left to right: James Witt, Roger Schindler, Frank Batchen, Eleanor Matekovich Approach of Commence- ment causes Reminiscence Among Graduates of '47 By JEAN GEIGEB Gowanda High School, June, 1947H- Four years ago last September, be- wildered situdents entered 307, the homeroom significant of true embark- ation onto the sea of high school life. This June, the same students will emerge from the portals of Gowanda High School, a more enlightened group, well equipped to face the com- plex problems of today. Accompany- ing the studious sojourn in high school, there was a gala assemblage of dances and parties, which served to broaden the social as well as the intellectual aspects of struggling scholars. The history of the Senior Class of '47 contains numerous high- lights which must be mentioned. The perplexing journey through the freshman year was climaxed byaclass party at Sunset Bay Park. A mina- ture cloudburst failed to dampen the exuberant spirits of incumbent sopho- mores. Mlr Scura, custodian of 307, was elected class adviser. Under his guidance, the first year of high school was completed, leaving its participants practically unscathed. The freshman officers were: president, Fred Wey- andg vice-president, Kay Hannah: secretary, Jean Geigerg and treasurer, Paul Lavey. Paul's job was practically non-existent, as the class treasury was almost devoid of funds. The Uwearers of the green were honored during the graduates' sopho- more year by a St. Patrick's Dance, the immediate success of which sur- prised even the sponso1's themselves. The gymnasium, resplendent with g1'een and white crepe paper, reliected the gala atmosphere. Crystal Beach was the destination for the annual class party. The managerial staff con- sisted of Floyd Farley, president, Frank Batchen, vice-president, Jean Geiger, secretaryg Erleen Brooks, treasurer, and advisers Coach Hal- stead and Mrs. Steiger. Frank auto- matically secured the presidential seat upon the departure of Floyd Farley from school. As oflicious juniors, the graduates embarked upon a year ot' bustling ac- tivity. Affairs were 'managed cfli- ciently by Frank Batchen, presidentg Bob Taylor, vice-presidentg Bette Andolsek, secretary, and Jean Geiger treasurer. Huge quantities of .money poured into the class treasury from the sale of refreshments at all home basketball games, a concession tradi- tionally granted the junior class. The Junior Prom, highlight of the year, provided -occasion for the coronation of ebony-haired, sparkling-eyed Cyn Parker. The oflicers were responsible for choosing the senior rings, an en- tirely original type greatly admired in the community. Crystal Beach, where intellects relaxed and merri- ment prevailed, was again the scene of the traditional class party. The approach of the senior year brought a sense of security and re- sponsibility. The three apprentice years of high school had been com- pleted. The class elections produced the following oHlcers who effectively performed the difficult duties of their respective offices: Roger Schindler, president: James Witt, vice-president: Eleanor Matekovich, secretaryg and Frank Batchen, treasurer. Mr. Schultz and Miss Glaser, chosen as class ad- visers, did much to mold the opinions of the seniors. The autumn magazine campaign was again conducted much to tl1e cleverly concealed dismay of residents who were continually inter- rupted in their work by the entreaty to subscribe to your favorite maga- zine. The senior football dance to honor tl1e champions of the pigskin was presented under the able manage- ment of James Witt, chairman. The senior assembly, presented in Novem- ber, was a panel discussion about the timely topic-school centralization. Participants were: Margaret Jones, chairman: Helen Allexsaht, Thomas Buckley, David McAlpine, Frank Batchen, Irene Bonk, Elsie Thamasett. May seventh and eighth marked the display of senior theatrical talents. The senior play, You Can't Take It With You, directed by Mrs. Marvin Simon to whom much credit for its success can be assigned, proved a tre- mendous drawing card to the public. Amidst the activity of measuring for caps and gowns, and the ordering of invitations and cards, one senses a feeling of nostaglia among the sen- iors. The admonition that high school days are happiest days is re- membered and not hastily cast wide as before. Petty troublesgthe crucial marking of report cards, the drudgery involved in long assignments, are overshadowed by the remembrance of pleasant, eventful days. So, with a sense of fulfillment and a feeling of preparedness for the future, the seniors of '47 bid adieu to their alma mater, Gowanda High School. 10 IUNE, 1947 VALLEY BufLE v14rixxiaimxiariaxiuxicuilxinni Rosl+:MlxnY Al.l.l'lN- lf0Si ', .

Dayton, Frank Holmes War Correspondents Anticipated June, 1947----'1'tiere are tifteeu full-time veterans in the high school. The veterans have re- turned to high school with new aint lugh ambitions, They are anxious to earn diplonias in pre- paration for the goal which they set while in the service. The veterans have become a valuable addition to the school. Many ot' the veterans expect to graduate in June, 1947. The prospective graduates are: Ed- win Holland, David McAlpiue, Richard Meyers, Richard Rem- ington, Henry Spraxvka, Robert Westburg. and Harmon Wolcz. Dominic Massar completed work t'or his diploma in January, Ro- land Dalrymple, George Dispen- za and .lohn ltogers are post- graduate students. Art hu r Schindler expects to graduate in 1948. Veterans are given two high school units t'or their basic train- ing. For each special school course taken in the service, they receive one unit. There are thirteen veterans in the agricultural training pro- gram. The veterans are especial- ly interested in the vocational training ot't'ered at tlowauda High School. The agriculture training classes are held two nights each week. The farm ot' each veteran is visited at least once a month by Mr. W. K. Dayton and ltlr. Frank Holmes, the agricultural representative ot' the Ilank ot' ttowanda. Adult. education, however, is not. contined merely to the veter- ans' trainiug program. Adult education classes were held at Goxvanda High St,-hool once a week from November 18 to April 13. Classes were offered in sew- ing. in shop, in accounting, in arts and crafts, in aviation, in Spanish, in typewriting, in emo- tional problems ot' living, in physics, in algebra, in art, and in archery. lflach class met one night a xveel: from 7:3o to 9:30. The main purpose ot' the adult education classes is to fill the needs ot' adults in night classes. About 180 people have been served by the program. In the last year the demand for adult. classes has doubled. Next year, plans will include a greatly expanded program. VALLEY Buoua IUNE. 1947 17 Junior Class Makes 3125 from Sale of Refreshments November 4, 1946, at their first class meeting, the juniors de- cided to try to increase their funds by selling, pop, candy' pretzels, and popcorn at the various home basketball games. Donald Pracht was appointed chairman of the sales commit- tee. He chose Julie Trombley and Barbara Strouse as his help- ers. At each home game, these faithful three could be seen wait- ing patiently for the halves of the games when the mad rush began. From their worthy pro- ject, the juniors added about 3125.00 to their class treasury. The able leaders of the class are Louis Thomas, president: Richard McFadden, vice-presi dentg Althea Gabel, secretaryg and Dorothy Lazore, treasurer. The class is very thankful for the assistance they received from Miss Doerr a-nd Coach Hil- lis who were their chosen advisers, For the March 6 assembly. the juniors presented two pan- tomines which were' Pokey Huntus and The Melledramaf' During the program, the audi- ence was also ententained by the delightful tenor voice of Jack Saglimben, and by the smooth piano playing of Margaret Jones and of Dick Read. The narra- tors were Ruth Sipillman and Alice Twichell. However, the really big event of the year was the Junior Prom. From the middle of Janu- ary until April 25, these eager beavers could be seen at almost any time worrying about this prom. They decided on Holiday in Mexico for their theme-. The theme assumed form under the able direction .of Ruth Spillman. who was 'chairman of the decora- tion committee. The committee chairmen consisted of the follow- ing: Band, Keith Jollsg Decora- tion, Ruth Spillmang Refresh- ments, Sue Hoffman, Theme, Dick McFaddeng Advertising, Don Frosty Cleanup, Pat O'Don- nell. The candidates for pr.om queen were: M-ary Lou Cole, Susan Hoffman, Ruth Spillman, Ruth Sprague, Alice Mary Twichell, and Evelyn Wolcotlt. As this book goes to press, this issue is still undecided and only by buying the Valley Bugle of the class of '48, will you be able to learn the inter- esting results.

The Moonlight Mood Dance was pre- sented Saturday, February 15, in the high school gymnasium. Plans were completed with clockwork precision under the direction of the class Big Four , president, Norman Kota, vice-president, Richard Witt, secretary, Joan Ofndusg and treasurer, George Massar. They were aided by the capable class advisers, Mrs. Howard Schultz and Mr. John Ilyrn. The class members worked un- ceasingly to make a success of their dance. Under the direc- tion of Joyce Rupp, chairman, the decorating committee nobly accomplished the task of reju- venating the gymnasium. The theme of the dance, Moonlight Mood, was well integrated with a huge orange moon which shed its soft light over the dancers. The moon was made by Bud Sternisha. Other decorations consisted of sky-blue streamers, stars, and red and yellow bal- loons filled with confetti. Dur- ing the balloon dance, the balloons were burst, allowing the confetti to drift slowly earthward and down the necks of some luckless dancers. Pop and cake were served by the refreshment committee di- rected by George Massar, chair- man. Dick Jolls procured George Green's Orchestra which played for daincing from 8 to 12. The publicity and clean-up commit- tee did excellent jobs in their respective fields. Besides those persons who have been specifi- cally named, a great. many other sophomores their aid in their dance. Plans are a spaghetti the not too sophomores deserve credit for making a success ot' now being made for dinner sometime in distant future. The sincerely hope that their spaghetti dinner will be as much of a success as theirdance.

Rodman Clement, Robert Wilcox By Main' JANE Mmxan June, 1947-One evening be- fore the close of school, four eighth graders, Jane, Shirley, Bill and Jerry, were sprawled over the furniture in Jane's liv- ing-rooni. The girls were at- tempting to do their homework while the boys were stuffing themselves with pop and candy. Their conversation turned to high school and college. You know, said Jane, eighth grade prepares us for high school. It gives us an idea of what to expect in our fresh- man year. Speaking of high school, what course are you taking? asked Shirley. Well, answered Jerry, I'll have to take a college entrance because I want to learn mechani- cal engineering. That's strange, spoke Jane. To go to a school of nursing I have to take a college entrance course also. I wonder, just what is this college entrance course? It's this way, said Bill. You .nust take the subjects required by the high school. When you choose yeur college, you then take the subjects needed to meet its requirements. I don't want to go to college, stated Shir- ley. Isn't there some other course I can take? Jerry explained, Many peo- ple want to take art, shop, or homemaking. John is going to take agriculture. A business or general course is what Ann wants to take. Because of a variety of aims like this, many different courses are offered. In this way one is further helped in deciding what he wants to to do after school. This may range from school teaching to engineering. We're lucky, said Jane. Eighth grade prepares us for high school and high school pre- pares us for the world, where we will be on our own. Yes, added Shirley as the group rose from their chairs, eighth grade starts us on our way looking ahead. VALLEY BUGLE IUNE, 1947 21 Seventh Grades Spend Busy Day February 6-Today, Thursday began with an assembly pro- gram. lt happened to be the Quiz Kids , broadcasting from the stage in the auditorium. One of the seventh graders, Phoebe Torrance, won second prize. The gal is clever! Luckily the program was long so the usual second period study hall was cut short. From there students ambled to 214 for social studies in which they are mastering the facts of the hist.ory and govern- ment of New York State. They enjoyed making maps and doing the current events test in Young America magazine. Next came math where they struggled for forty minutes with per cents. Everyone was pre- pared, so Mr. Jackson was very pleased. They really do try! Fifth and sixth periods were spent in English class. Today students didn't mind the double period because Mrs. Trombley played the records, Christmas Carol, made from Dickens' fa- mous story. Having already studied the story in class, they especially enjoyed h e a r i n g Slcrooge and the Cratchits come to life. There was not any time wasted getting down to the cafeteria for lunch. Slips obtained at roll call made it certain that there would be food for all. tOne of the seventh graders, Lulu Stein- fatt, works in the cafeteriaj. It was refreshing to have the break at noon between two per- iods of English. As usual seventh and eighth periods were spent in 216 where everyone studied diligently t?J in order to be ready for tomor- row. Having been too busy all day to get into trouble, at three o'c1ock most of the students de- parted happily for home. Two boys' teams went to the gym for an intramural basketball game, the bulletin board committee stayed to labor over a rather complicated art project, and one poor unfortunate went to the extension room because she had been tardy. All in all, it has been a good day. Copy Boys Enjoy Junior High Program 1 1 1 1 1 TOP PICTURE- First Row: William Overfield, John Walker, John Howard.

I wonder how many have found the world an easy place in which to live. I think that I shall use my radar telescope so that I may scan the globe. Since I can use it only once, this seems a very wise time to do so. I'll start at ,my old Alma Mater, Gowanda High School. Eleanor M-atekovich now occupies Ruby's desk, -and is fortified at noon- hour by cafeteria meals capably pre- pared under the management of La- verna Eels. Dolores Hill, as school nurse, is curing children's 'ailmentsg Jean Geiger has just arrived on her special Buffalo Street Helicopter, lightening the burden of that eternal jaunt every day, to work in the library. Directing our telescope on the in- terior of the library, we find several successful authors in the graduating class of 1947. Why, my goodness! Is that book, My Love Life , written by Rosemary Allen? John Walthew has written the Sports Review of 1956 and Joe Gugino is still another author in the class of '47, His book is titled How to Raise More Beautiful Flowers with the Least Work . Catching a glimpse of the latest Good House keeping' magazine, I find that Corinne Parker has designed the cover for this month. Let's look about town and then go to Buffalo. Why, there's Mary Anne Watkins and she certainly seems to be establishing the new speed record between Hamburg and Gowanda, as is Evelyn Sprague between Gowa-nda and Versailles to keep up with the square dances held there. Betty Smith, another advocate of the old fashioned square dance, is calling for them at Cottage. Florence Ligiecki is i-n Harvey 8: Carey's now, but she's still jerking sodas, -as is her cohort and companion, Ruth Yunghans. Helen Schwa-ben-bauer is instructing aspirant secretaries at Chown's Secretarial School and is spending -her leisure hours harkening to Bob Taylor who is playing bass in Tex Beneke's band. James Johnson is working in a General Electric labora- tory on Main Street. In a cottage small on Blank Avenue, Lorraine Dimmick is smiling fondly across the breakfast table at that certain some- one. John Andolsek is testing springs in the new Float E-Z mattress dis- played in Mendelsons' window. His testing consists of trying out the mattresses in a reclining position- school desks proved too hard. Now proceeding southward and then west across the country I find that Erleen Brooks is still searching for the Fountain of Youth in Florida. Joyce Fancher, attempting to teach Southerners the Perrysburg accent, also resides there. Another victim of the wanderlust, Betty Andolsek, is touring Mexico City. Beautiful, isn't it, Betty? Ji-m Hatfield is the strong man for Ringling Brothers in Arizona, while Margaret J-ones, President of the American Medical Association, has Lena. John as her secretary. Cynthia Parker is investigating the cases of juvenile delinquents in Los Angeles, where Bob Tuttle is starring in a new Hollywood musical. He is evidently a successor to Fred Astai1'e. Across the ocean Ruth Leisner is converting South Sea Islanders to the Christian faith. Allan Stuhlmiller is coaching Japanese boys in the All- American game, baseball, while his pals, Roger Schindler and Jack Kelley are searching for fossils in the Hima- laya Mountains. Focusing on the European continent, I find that Chuck Spire is continuing his study of music in Vienna. Carlyle Westlund, a retired North Sea fisher- man now resides in Norway. Now my telescope is focused on New York City. The scene is a busy sub- way. There is a man reading the 'I'im s. No harm in reading over his shoulder. I find that Ted Frenzel seems to be the author of .Sports of the Times. His articles include the facts that Helen Allexsaht was the winner of the world's badminton OF GRADUATES championship for women and that Leonard Nephew won the Indianapolis 500 in a car designed by Jim Witt. The Times also furnishes the informa- tion that Agnes Luine and Bob Toal are co-starring in Macbeth on Broad- way, and that Kay Hannah has been chosen one of the best dressed women of 1956. Paul Lavey has not made any definite progress on his improve- ment of Einstein's theory. Annie Monick has concocted a new dish Boiled Pancreas with Juniper Sauce , while John Crouse and Dick Geil have bred a cow which produces only rich cream. Frank Batchen left at 8:14 A. M. June 23, 1954, for the moon. Yesterday, the observatory had word that he expects to reach the earth again about 1960. Our class certainly made the headlines. I wonder how many members of our class are living in New York. Let's look around a bit. There is Irene Bonk making the display for Sak's Fifth Avenue. Alice Bilski is at the information desk in New York Central Terminal, where she'll meet a lot of people. Tom Buckley is the political boss at Tammany Hall and Margaret Gillis is manager of the Du Barry Success School here. Norm Johnson is the chief aircraft .mechanic at the New York Airport. Dorothy Kernc is posing for Halo Shampoo ads, while Rex Patterson is displaying his famous Pepsodent smile. Joan Mar- riott is a surgical nurse in Lister. Proceeding up along the Hudson to Albany, I find that Nora Krohn is handling outgoing .orders for Mont- gomery Ward. Mary Lou Vogtli, Ar- lene Steenburg, and Zelda Vannote are trying to convi-nce the state board that English should not be a compul- sory subject. Jane Bentley has a ranch in the Adirondacks, where every mo1'ning she diligently exercises her aging horse Chummy . Roger Ward, a conscientious member of the forestry service, has just combated single- handed a forest fire which threatened Janie's ranch. Having satisfied my curiosity about my classmates' accomplishments, I close my radar telescope. Surely, each and everyone can be proud of his successes. 26 lLOCAL Newsj IUNE, 1947 VALLEY BUGIE SENIORS Class Will Completed By CYNTHIA PARKER.

VALLEY Bucus IUNE, 1947 tLot:A1, Nswsl 29 Accomplishments of Student Representa- tives Enumerated June, 1947-During the tirst days of the slchool semester. amidst the bewilderment of dis- organized schedules, .ot turbulent class changing, and of the ex- uberant voices of students, one assignment, is always completed -the election of homeroom representatives to the student governing body. The student council represents the students, their attitudes, and their sug- gestions for school improve- ments. Allan Stuhlmiller, popular senior, was selected by student consent, as president of the stu- dent lcouncil. The students also elected Mary Lou Cole, petite junior, as vice-president. The council elected as secretaries Dorothy Victor and Jean Geiger, and Keith Jolls as treasurer. Not inclined to break tradition, the council continued the cus- tom of noon-heur movies, and weekly Monday night dancing classes for those individuals who desire to vie with Arthur Mur- ray. Eligibility rules in all extra-curricular activities equal- ized the plan and reduced the hurden on sptorts. The accrunplishrnent which supersedes all other undertak- ings of the council was the pre- sentation of a very prosperous March .of Dimes Dance, January R1st. at tl1e Legion Memorial Hall. Intelligence of Schoolplleprcsented June, 1947-At, the e11d of every tive-weeks' marking per- iod, the grades of each student are averaged. The averages are listed and placed on the front bulletin board of the school. The names of those students who have attained an average of 90 per cent. or above are placed upon a special Honor Roll, which is published in the Gowanda NEWMS. Students who maintain a 90 per cent average for all but one marking period of the four marking periods previous to the Bugle photography gain the dis- tinction of appearing in the Honor Student picture. The junior class heads the list ot' honor students this year with seven of it members appearing in the honor student. picture. The sophomores have the next highest number of honor pupils.

VALLEY Busta IUNE, 1947 tSOClETY, 31 Sleighride Climaxes Winter Season February 13-Last night the Active Atoms Club enjoyed a sleighride. The informal event provided a welcome mid-week diversion for the members ot the club. Immediately following the sleighride, the group met in the home of Mary Lou Cole. A brief business meeting was con- duicted and refreshments were served. The otlicers of the Active Atoms Club were elected at a previous meeting. They are as follows: president, Allan Stuhl- millerg vice-president, Kermit Woodcockg secretary, Keith Jollsg and treasurer, George Mezzio. Mr. Seifert, vice-prin1ci- pal and science teacher, is the club's adviser. The active Atoms Club was formed in an effort to pr.omote an active interest in science, to acquaint students with others who share similar interests, and to provide for scientiiiic experi- mentation outside of class. Any student who is taking or has taken 'either chemistry or phy- sics is eligible to join the club Writers Satisfy Literary Desires June, 1947eLast September an assemblage of incipient writ- ers satisfied their desire to ex- press their thoughts on paper, by forming the annual newspa- per staff of Gowanda High School. Achievements of the staff, which meets every Monday and Friday, may be noted in the School Nouns' section of the local newspaper, the Gowanda NEWS. Each and every student is familiar with the features of the ever-popular School News. Stim- ulating biographies of new teachers and seniors, exciting sports write-ups, and the noto- rious Little Black Book, which recounts the latest dating data, are conductive to enjoyable read- ing. To bestow credit where it is undeniably due, Roberta Tor- rance, editor, must be congratu- lated for her adroit management of a very perplexing job. She was aided by Cynthia Parker, assistant editor. Miss Carter, who serves as adviser to the staff, has displayed a remarkable quantity of patience, and is pri- marily responsible for much of the success of the staff's efforts.

No Defeats Suifered by Skilled Team I This season the Gowanda Pan- thers' basketball team turned out to be the greatest. that the school has ever produced, as they won the Section VI Class A trophy by defeating Sloan in the finals for the second straight season. They were undefeated in 19 consecutive games which in- cluded the regular season and 3 playoff games. In doing so, the Panthers scored a total of 914 points to the opposition's 497 points. Having an undefeated season is quite a trick with this present day fire-wagon brand of basket- ball in which anything ican hap- pen and upsets are the order ef the day. An undefeated season is an extreme rarity, but the Panthers accomplished the trick with ease and authority. It was indeed a feather in the cap of Coach Hillis when he turned out an undefeated championship team in his first year back at the coaching helm. The Panthers played superbly in the playoffs, as they defeated a good Sloan team at Dunkirk 43 to 33 for the second straight season, to win the Section VI Class A trophy. The Panthers led most of the way. On the previous Tuesday the Panthers had a little more trouble, as they annexed the Bi-County champ- ionship from Silver Creek by a score of 34 to 25 at Dunkirk. In the first playoff game the Panthers just managed to squeeze past. Olean. winning by a score of 43 to 40. The close score is hard to explain, because the Panthers had defeated Olean twice during the regular season by substantial scores of 48 to 24 at Olean and 58 to 36 at Gowanda. During the regular season the Panthers' toughest opponent proved to be Falconer. In the first. game at Falconer the Pan- thers won a close 29 to 28 game, as Milan Miller sank a foul shot with only 8 seconds left to play. In the second game at Gowanda, Falconer held an early seven point lead, before the Panthers came on to win 47 to 42. The Panthers also rolled up box-car figures in two of their games as they defeated Alle- gheny 71 to 17 and Cattaraugus, in the final game of the season, 75 to 13. In other more or less incon- sequential games the Panthers twice defeated their traditional rivals Hamburg, Eden, Sala- manca, Fredonia, and Randolph. VALLEY BUGLE IuNE, 1947 QSPORTST 37 Prospects for Above Average Track Team Assured April 18-With the advent of spring, the Gowanda trackmen, under the supervision of Coach Hillis, commenced the strenuous task of whipping themselves in- to shape for a grueling season, in which they will meet and hope to conquer, many of the track stalwarts of Western New York. With the initial meeting of the track team, it was ap- parent that Gowanda should turn out one of the finest track aggregations that G. H. S. has seen in a long time. Coach Hillis has an abundance of experienced material. Spec- ster Bill Eaton has returned to heat the cinders with his blazing speed in the 100 and 220 yard dashes. With the combined speed of Eaton, Dispenza, Tuttle, and Kota, the relay team should be the terror of Western New York. George Massar, only a sopho- more, has returned to give Go- wanda High School a strong claim to the half-mile race. Roger Schindler and Burwell Jimerson should turn in capable performances at the po1e-vault- ing pit this year. Most of Last Year's Team Back at Helm April 18-With the coming of spring, thoughts turn to base- ball. The Panthers' prospects ap- pear very good this season and a baseball team, under Coach Lawrence Scura, that can stand up to our good football team and championship basketball team. will probably be turned out. The Panthers will be especial- ly strong up the middle of the diamond. Edward Urbank, a star pitcher last year, will be back along with A1 Stuhlmiller, who will take up catching duties where he left off last year. Chuck Perkins will be back in his short-stop position. George Dispenza, back from the Navy, and Norm Kota, will win other infield berths. In the outfield, the hard hitting trio of Bert Stevens, Dick Spire, and Don Stadler, are holdovers from last year-'s team. Kerm Woodcock will also probably find a spot on this year's team. These boys, coupled with several promising rookies, should give Gowanda High School a team of which they can be proud.

QFEATUREJ IuNE, 1947 VALLEY Bus A DAY WITH A SENIOR Rosy red fingers of light streaked the dull, slate-grey Eastern sky of a wintry Monday morning in late Feb- ruary. As the sun struggled vainly to penetrate the dark, snow-laden clouds, the restful tranquillity of the little white house, nestled between huge, fresh blankets of newly-precipitated snow, was rudely and abruptly shat- tered by the harsh note of an alarm clock, which had just blown its top. Leroy Chalmers, a member in good standing of the Senior Class of '47, grunted irritably and unconsciously quieted the source of his annoyance with a limp right hand. The hands of the clock pointed irrevocably at 7:00. Several thoughts flashed through the tired mind of Leroy. First, he realized instantly that it was Monday morning, a thought which sent him deeper into his warm, comforting blankets. His next thought brought with it a chain reaction. First, he stuck an arm cautiously out of bed and pulled back his shade to look at the outside world. He saw the snow- drifts. The sight brought a long sigh of relief from Leroy, as well as zi smile. 'Dhey'll have to shut the Alma Mater today -because of the snow, he thought, as he rolled over to return to slumberland. After exchanging the customary early ,morning greetings with his par- ents, the lad rushed to the radio, from which the chatter of Clint Buehlman issued promptly. While sitting before the breakfast table, Leroy listened intently to the program. His teachers, if they had 'but seen his deep con- centration, would have been greatly surprised, as never had they seen him thus in their classes. Presently, Yours truly, Buehly announced that the list of schools closed due to storm condi- tions was to be read. The tension in the room became electric. Mother, starting to speak, was speedily si- lenced by a loud shush. Name after name of schools closed in the sur- rounding districts was read. The strain was telling on the unfortunate Leroy. He sat in a trance-like state. scarcely breathing, as he hoped for the name which would release him from a day of servitude. The word never came. Chalmers trudged through the deep snow, still muttering words of ill- feeling towards the School Powers for opening that esteemed place of learn- ing. Arriving at the bus stop, he join- ed the clique of uppenclassmen wait- ing for the bus. A large amount of small talk ensued, until the lumber- ing bus ,made its appearance. The group of people hurriedly filled the bus and were soon whisked away to the large, red-brick structure, bearing by TED FRENZEL the illustrious appellation of Gowanda High School. Disembarking from that rather un- comfortable vehicle, Leroy proceeded to march grimly up the three illghts of stairs separating him from his locker. Arriving at the top, undaunted, but extremely tired, Leroy staggered to his locker, into which disappeared his bright red coat. Leroy then en- tered his homeroom, the abode of G.H.S.'s teacher of the historical as- pects of our civilization. Joining a group of friends, he was presently informed that an assembly was to be given the first period. This announce- ment did nothing to alleviate the strain under which he was laboring, but rather, proved to be the proverbial straw that broke the camel's back. This self-same first period was the one in which Leroy had intended to work on his English assignment. How- ever, the unfortunate fellow was ac- customed to such occurrences and bore up very well, tearing out only one handful of his auburn hair. Shortly thereafter, Leroy was found marching down the hall toward the auditorium. Once inside, he discov- ered, much to his glee, that the as- sembly was to be presented by the teachers. Leroy soon had an acute case of convulsions as he watched the tealchers relive the events of years ago. His mirth was unbounded as he watch- ed the music 'teacher bounce on the floor after being pushed off a bench. With Mrs. Eaton giving an excellent example of the schoolmarm and thus rounding out the antics of her unruly student-teachers, the assembly was hailed as a distinct success by Leroy and his pals. From the assembly, Chalmers even- tually arrived at Room 313, where he learned the fine art of selling poor people things that they don't want. This class was not to be spent in a leisurely fashion, however, for he ran headlong into a tough test, prepared by that energetic business wizard. At great length, the bell signalled the end of the test and gave 'Chalmers time to recover from a severe case of writer's cramp. From Room 313, Leroy went to 310, the typing room, for his period of fin- ger gy.mnastics. There, among the restful clatter of the typewriters, he spent a miserable period continually missing the keys at which he aimed. Pounding at the battered Underwood, Leroy lcreated words the like of which were never taught in 312, the strong- hold of the English language in G. H. S. Leroy held a special place in the soft-spoken typing teacher's heart, for it was he who had the en- viable record of ruining the -most typewriters of any pupil, before or since. At the end of forty minut with his patience entirely exhauste but with his fingers well exercis and in fine shape, young mast Chalmers disentangled himself fro the table and sallied forth to one his favorite abodes, 307. The usual confusion, friendly co versation and horse-play .made t study hall this day no exception fro any other day. One lchange in this d occurred when Leroy was dispatch to the clinic for an eye test. Dr. Liv more and Nurse Eaton attended him with their usual prompt edlcien and the ordeal was 'soon over. Period 5 saw Chalmers seated 312, where the higher standards English were being methodically i planted in his already over-burden mind. There the instructress preach the doctrines of infallibly correct En lish, of famous literature, and of co, position. All these Leroy took in h stride, little understanding them, b making a brave attempt to mast these doctrines. The bell at 12:00 gave L. C. his on exercise of the day. With amazi speed, he flew down three flights stairs to form the vanguard of t long cafeteria line. After partaking the excellent efforts of the home e nomics personnel, Leroy whiled aw his fifty minute respite by roami about the halls. With the start of the 6th perio Leroy retired to the quiet sanctity the library, there to spend the ti idly flippi-ng the pages of magazin while the lovely librarian chanted t unceasing tune of Quiet, boys! Hustled fro-m the restfulness of t library by the advent of the seven period, Chalmers descended i-nto t nether regions of the industrial ai shop, there to painstakingly convert lowly piece of rough wood into beautiful, polished lamp. With su an i-ndustrious, particular instruct how could he fail? Thrust abruptly into the test-tu cluttered domicile of the masterf vice-principal, Leroy steeled hims for the last grueling forty minut In the lchemistry lab, Leroy con scendingly watched the Master of t Lab attempting to explain the e ments of chemistry to the thorough bewildered juniors, while he hims dabbled with the sulfates, and t acids. Finally, at 3:01 the heart-lifti sound of the bell drifted through t air. A mad dash for the bus, a Leroy Chalmers, senior, happy a content in spite of the books und his arm, had completed another d of school, with only four remaini days until the glorious week-end.
