Mezzio, Business Manager: loseph Degenfelder, Editor. As the final days of high school roll by, Seniors become aware that they are participating in the i'last of many activities: The last dance, the last roll call, the last time the alma mater is sung. Qnly after it all is ended do they realize that their school days were so happy and enjoyable. With this in mind, Mardi Gras has been chosen as the theme for our four carefree years at G.C.S. The class of '56, as torchbearers, lead the way for street dancers, vendors, jousters, and other revelers. King Rex and his court have carefully guided us through four years of activities. The construction Of a new Gowanda Junior-Senior High School has now become a reality. causing the class of '56 to be the last graduated from the old building, We wish our successors a pleasant time in their new school. Because of our theme, we have tried to have more informality for this year's Valley Bugle. This idea is exemplified by the style of arrangement throughout the book and especially by the cover which was designed by Frank Cocca of our art staff. With the end of the Mardi Gras festivities, the class of '56 wish to thank all those who made our yearbook a success. Special gratitude is extended to Mr. Daniel O'Day, Mrs. Louis Rey- man, and Mrs. Marianna Wonnacott for their able 'ibehind-the-scenes assistance.

The board has been unusually active in this its third year as a central school district board. The Senior Class at this time wishes to express its sincere gratitude to the school board for the fine job it has been doing. The Grade Principal ln the past few years the elementary grades have become increasingly difficult to handle because of over-crowded classrooms and the shortage of teachers. These problems have been skillfully handled by the able principal of the grades. The VALLEY BUGLE extends to Mr. Scura its congratulations for the way the elementary school has been run, MQW! -......

Woniiacott man a shovel for the Ground Breaking Ceremony GROUND BREAKING CEREMONIES On May 9, 1955 the earth moving pans started removing top soil, and construction started on the new Gowanda Central School. ln the course of excavation an old wooden pipe was uncovered with a stream of clear spring water flowing from it. Also there was evidence of a sawmill having been located at the northwest corner of the gym. Poplar logs were dug out 6 feet below the basement floor. The first steel for the classroom wing arrived in Qctober whereupon erection started immediately. The remaining steel came Ianuary 2, 1956 and was erected during some very adverse weather. Work in all phases continued on through the winter and by April the plasterers and terrazzo men were busy in the classroom wing, with the brickwork taking definite shape around the shop wing and the gym. It is hoped to have the classroom wing, the kitchen and cafeteria ready for the start of school in September and the remainder is scheduled for completion in October of 1956.

The class of 1956 opened the initial year by electing Mrs. Rehl and Mr. Rotella as our class advisors. Our class officers were: President, Bartlett Greene: Vice President, Robert Graves: Secretary, Sylvia Dial: and Treasurer, Richard Harvey. As our projects We held two bake sales, a Tinsel Frolicn dance, an amateur show and climaxed our first year with a trip to Crystal Beach. ln the '53-'54 year we stormed the school as energetic sophomores. Since both our ad- visors had left, we elected Mrs. Julia Trombley and Mr. William jackson as our new and very able advisors. We then elected joseph Degenfelder, President: Dana Boss, Vice President: Mar- jorie Parker, Secretary: and Sylvia Dial, Treasurer. During this year we had a bake sale, a 'Cupid Capers dance, and a Sophomore Carnival, all of which proved to be very successful. Again we ended the year with a trip to Crystal Beach. Prom year finally arrived! We gave this important year a big push by electing Bob Graves. President: joe Pellegrino, Vice President: Camille Gartner, Secretary: and Ioan Voncina, Treasurer. The junior Prom was held in April. The beautiful Rhapsody in Blue was our theme. Other big projects were: choosing our rings, the Junior Carnival and dance, Christmas card sales, and an amateur show. We also won S300 for selling subscriptions to the Gowanda News. Seniors! The goal for which we had aimed for four years was finally reached. Bob Graves was again chosen as the man for the Presidents job. He was ably assisted by Larry Dial, our Vice President: Sandra Ratzel, our Secretary: and judy Fowler, our Treasurer. Our first big project was the selling of magazine subscriptions. During the Christmas vacation we held our Senior dance at the Moose Hall with Winter Wonderland as our theme. We took over the hot clog stand at football games, had a bake sale and a very successful Senior Carnival. We chose the delightful comedy, i'Quiet Summer, as our Senior play. It was performed March 16 and 17 and also for the patients at the State Hospital, as has been done in previous years. With Mrs. Demery's kind help, we made it a success. Time came for Washington! Because of Mrs. Trombley and Mr. jackson's assistance, we achieved this goal. When we came home there was only a short time left for us in G. C. S. C'mon, class of '57, We are ready to have you fill our shoes as Seniors. is Torch Bea rers ACKLEY, IAMES lim To be a professional Pool Player.

Fowler. P, Fose. Gne of the most memorable events which occurred during our stay at G.C.S. was our lunior Prom. It was held April 22, 1955 in the high school gym. The theme chosen for the Prom was Rhapsody in Blue, and the gym was decorated ac- cordingly in all shades of the hue. The centerpiece of the decoration was a wishing well, a very appropriate recipient of the wishes of the seven candidates for queen. Following tradition, the procession to the throne started at 11:58. At the stroke of midnight, Dawn Dabolt was crowned queen by our class president, Robert Graves. She was pre- sented with a red bouquet of roses and a pin commemorating the event. Miss Dabolt and her attendants, Sylvia Dial, Iudy Fowler, Patricia Pose, Sandra Ratzel, Gail Wakenhut, and Nancy Warner provided a striking picture. With Neil Murray, Miss Patricia Crock- ett, Mr. and Mrs. lackson, and Mr. and Mrs, Trombley acting as chaperones, the dance con- tinued until 1 A.M. All the members of the Iunior Class and their dates were then made wel- come at the Regal Restaurant, where chatting and dancing continued into the wee hours of the morning. The dancers then left for home, tired, happy, and richer in memories.

Graves, Mrs, Deme The older generation of today is often bewildered by the rapid antics of teen!agers, who run 'circles around them with their ideas and machine-gun talk. Such a situation is por- trayed in Quiet Summer, a three act comedy. As the curtain rises, Iames Clark, a successful lawyer, is preparing himself for a quiet, restful vacation. His plan is shattered when his niece and nephew, Pamela and Sonny Young, descend upon him as guests for the summer. An apparently hopeless fight for the country club presidency confronts lames, and the helpfulness of Pamela and Sonny certainly does not lessen this difficulty. Also he is often caught in a Crossfire between quarreling lovers, leanie and Sonny and Pamela and Bill, as well as having troubles with Helen Russell over the subject of matrimony. , As the summer wears on, Mr. Clark learns to get along with his young guests. He blunders his way to the country club presidency, thereby gaining a chance for the district attorney's office. ln doing so, he wins his most sought-after prize, Helen Russell. all ,I 'Ei' ' , ug-3 1 1 ..5 ,5'9 9' ' ' f .1 f 77' 1 A my f . r ,I 1 , ,5'5':..

With Washington in sight, the juniors have been kept quite busy this year working on a variety of class projects. They began their third year of high school by voting to continue the weekly fudge sales. The fudge sales were started in their freshman year, and have proved to be very profitable. Traditionally at Gowanda Central, the juniors have sold Christmas cards. This year's juniors were no exception, and the Christmas card sale turned out to be one of the biggest money-making projects of the year. Next on the agenda for the juniors well attended and enjoyed by all. was the Sock Hop. Held late in the fall, it was a dance Then came the Junior Bake Sale which was held at the Gowanda Hardware. This also proved to be a highly successful project for the class of '57. ln February, the class sponsored an amateur show.

La Valle Vice Pre l t The class of '58 with the help of Mrs. Simon and Mr. Patrick, their class advisors, got off to a rousing start this year by sponsoring the Christmas oper- etta MAmahl and the Night Visitors. The class also sponsored the play Harvey which was presented by the Gowanda Little Theatre Group in April under the direction of Mrs. Simon. A Sadie Hawkins dance in May climaxed the class activities. All in all, this was a busy and happy year for the class of '58 Freshman Class Officers and Advisors The auditorium was a babble of noisy confusion as the Freshmen as- sembled for their first class meeting last September. But the class remained neither confused nor noisy for very long. The class elected a conscientious group of oflicers and backed these ofh- cers with enthusiastic cooperation. They also chose wise and friendly ad- visors when they selected Mr. Kionke and Mrs. Sipple. Their first real project was to draw up a Constitution, which they did with great success. Here's a tip.

Perrysburg Elementary School like most other schools has experienced a great increase in en- rollment in the past few years. ln Ianuary 1956, because of this increase, the people of Perrysburg, with the advice and consent of the school authorities, wisely decided to send the seventh grade to Gowanda and make Perrysburg a kindergarten through sixth grade school. A large new kindergarten room has been built in Perrysburg, and it is hoped that future kin- dergarten students in this school will get the best start in school that modern facilities and methods can give any child anywhere.

In 1954 the Cattaraugus Indian School came under the supervision and control of the Gowanda Central School because of a bill passed in that year. All one-room district schools on the Cattarau- gus reservation were closed and the pupils transported to the Thomas Indian School. At the pres- ent time, however, there is a two-room school in operation in the Pinewoods section of the Reser- vation. There are about 318 students enrolled in the Cattaraugus Indian School, which includes grades K - 8. Mr. Paul Harrington is principal of the school. When the Gowanda building program is completed, the pupils now educated in the Catta- raugus Indian School and the Pinewoods School will be transferred to the Gowanda Elementary School and Gowancla Central Junior-Senior High School. 75 Cattaraugus Indian School First Row: M.

The fifty piece group has been very active this year. The band performed for the P. T. A. in November, entertained at the Gowanda State Hospital, in December, gave a concert in April, and put on its annual Spring Concert in May. The band also participated in the Fredonia Festival, played for Pioneer Day, and marched on Memorial Day. Nine of the band members attended this year's AllfCounty Festival held at Franklinville. They were: Larry Britt, Richard Carpenter, Frank Cocca, Iohn Dayton, Sylvia Dial, Robert Graves, Robert Nitsch, Joseph Vogtli, and Glenn Tarbox. The band concluded its activities for this year with a fine performance at the graduation ceremonies. In February a junior band was organized under the direction of Mr. Hover. This band was made up of junior high and upper elementary grade students who were taking instrumental lessons. It was expected that the junior band would be a valuableftraining ground for future senior bands- men, 84 Junior Highlighters First Row: S. Fuse. N, Sniolttrzvk. M. Burke. A. Klancexx I. Stmthman. P.

Second Row: Spring, Dayton, Acklcy, Too often student governments are big noises in September and dead issues by Iune. But this emphatically could not be said of our student council which enjoyed one of the most suc- cessful and productive years in its history. Probably the most spectacular of the accomplishments of the student council was the holding of Student Day on November 17. The idea for such a day was advanced by the National- ist Party as one of its election campaign promises. Student day turned out to be a huge success. The school routine proceeded as usual as student leaders took firm control over all school activities. Officers of the student council assumed the administrative positions with -- Bartlett Greene acting as principal lack Spring serving as guidance director Barbara Benson becoming office secretary Iames Ackley being transportation officer John Dayton working as school clerk The student council representatives from each home room replaced the home room teachers while class room teachers appointed one student from each class to act as teachers in class. Lessons, homework assignments, and even tests were given as usual. Cooperation between the students and their teachers-of-the-day was so complete that not a single major disciplinary problem arose. ln fact, the day proved so singularly popular with both students and teachers that it was decided to make Student Day an annual event. The success of the day here in Gowanda inspired other nearby schools to add student days to their programs. Only one thing marred the day's activities. That was the weather. A violent snow squall forced the closing of school some two hours earlier than usual. Perhaps the most useful of the services performed by the student council was its monitor- ing of the hallways before school and during the activity period. Council members were strategic- ally stationed to keep order and to insure that only authorized persons were in the halls. To keep the hall duties from becoming burdensome, the student council was doubled in size. All home rooms excepting the senior roam elected two members to the council. The seniors elected four representatives. 86 Student Council First Row: Martindale. l:. Peters, M. Bartholomew, M. Burl-re. F. Lounshurv. S. Fosr, E. Thordahl. S. Gabel, Kumpf. Second Row: M.

Candidates for office were chosen by dividing students in the home rooms into Federalist and Nationalist groupings. These groupings sent delegates to party conventions which chose the slate of candidates. Election campaigns were carried on with all of the enthusiasm and excitement which at- tend national elections. Posters were prepared, and favors were distributed. The campaign reached fever pitch at an assembly program at which the candidates presented their party platforms to the accompaniment of cheers and jeers, waving banners, oompahing horns and booming drums. This year the Nationalism elected their entire slate of candidates. The student council served as the voice of the students with the administration and at the same time monitored the activities of students and student organizations to insure their compli- ance with school policies. Frequently administrative policies were announced first to the council to test student re- action to the programs, and student opinions and suggestions were funneled to the administration through the student council. As part of its program of monitoring student activities, the student council reviewed the constitutions of all student organizations. The council filled a major social need at G.C.S. by sponsoring dances after all home Friday football and basketball games, To raise money to carry on its program, the council directed the sale of individual photographs throughout the school.

M. C. A. The local Gowanda Club is affiliated with the central school and is open to all senior high school boys who possess the qualifications for membership. Under the able guidance of Mr. Robert Patrick, this year's club was one of the best ever produced by Gowanda Central School. Because it is a service club, the Hi-Y has regularly assisted the Red Cross mobile blood bank during its semi-annual visits to Gowanda. It also sponsored a food basket for a needy family at Christmas, and has recently undertaken the care of the Village Library flag. The club was very successful in its financial projects this year and was able to be repre- sented at the state legislative assembly at Albany, the area legislative assembly at Fredonia, the Western New York Youth Conference at Rochester, the local government assembly at Mayville, the area council meeting at Iamestown, and the officer's training camp at Chautauqua. The representatives at these meetings were able to gain a first hand knowledge of local and state government, as well as an understanding of the important problems of today's youth.

The club consists of thirty girls, who are in the Sophomore, Junior and Senior classes. Some service projects, we promoted this year included making favors for the Tri-County Hospital, sponsoring a Halloween Dance for the Community, sending Christmas gifts to the Ran- dolph Children's Home, and holding an Easter egg hunt for the children of the community. 89 Junior Players First Row: T.

Membership in this club consists of all members enrolled in the Latin classes. There are actually two different governrnents which alternate in running the monthly club meetings. Qne government was headed this past year by Iim Iohnston, the other by Ruth Stratton, both of whom served as the consuls. The secretarial work was done by the scribes and the financial work was done by the quaestors. Tribunes headed the committees which handled the details of club projects. Four aediles planned and provided the entertainment for the meetings. The only official who had no alternate was the high priest or Pontifex Maxima, Bonnie Rupp. This year the Club added a new factor by drawing up a constitution. This gives the club a legal foundation upon which to carry on its affairs in the future. We held a successful social event which was a real Roman banquet, patterned after the originals carried on in ancient times. All members attended this in the original Roman costume, the toga. None of this could ever have been possible without the wonderful guidance of our ad- visor, Mrs. Schultz. To the club in the future we extend this wish: Excelsior -Ever upward, 91 Panther Gazette First Row: S. Glzidu. Evans, D. Crouse. l5. Robbins, R. Pinto, R. lxnnerlz. editor. lVl, Daniels.

The first step in the organization of the PANTHER GAZETTE this year was the elec- tion of Robert Lennertz to the editor's post. The next step was taken following consultation with Mr. Greer of the GOWANDA NEWS AND TIMES. It was decided that the PANTHER GA- ZETTE again this year would appear in his paper every other week. Under the able leadership of Mr. Ernest J. Kionke, the Gazette got off to a flying start. From September to February the school edition was produced regularly, but then its appearances became less and less frequent. The Panther Gazette gained an enthusiastic acceptance, especially from the students and their parents. It also gave the reporters a splendid opportunity to learn the operation of a news- paper. There were many underclassmen on the staff who should be able to produce a fine Panther Gazette next year. 92 Library Club First Rim' Nlr.. Titus. fl. Vxllialen. A. lluher. Second Row: A, Sclzillncr.

The club is composed of students who not only help in the high school library but who also have complete control over the grade school library. fwl Loretta Depue, president, and Ann Schiffner. secretary, are the only oflficers of the club. Through the club's efforts in taking attendance, and checking out books, the library was able to accommodate 20.000 students this year. 8,500 Withdrawal slips were used. There are a total of 6.000 books on the shelves. Mrs. Titus is certainly grateful to the members of the club for their assistance. 95 Future Farmers of America First new R. smith. H. Aeney. 1.

Secretary Walter Tomaszewski presented the Greenhand Degree to Harry Ackley, Iames Eddy, Wayne Evans, Garland Hickox, Eugene Metzger, Vincent Rupp and Raymond Smith. The Bank of Gowanda presented its annual prizes which were shared by Harley Strick- faden, Vernon Coon, Walter Tomaszewski, Herbert Richmond, and Richard Denea. Besides being represented at the County Eair, we sold farm magazine subscriptions, and took a trip to see the lce Follies at Buffalo. Mr. Dayton and Mr. Wratney took the following to Farm and Home Week at Cornell University: Wayne Evans, Leo Hans, Iohn Hatfield, Allen Hayes, Donald Klancer, Eugene Metzger, Vincent Rupp, Harley Strickfaden. and Walter Tomaszewski. 94 y0fMZZ'7y I X Sports Spotlight A clip, a trip, and a merry quip, Springville met a team it couldn't whip, The Panther bite was dulled somewhat, but no one could still its proud growl. Cur gallant but inexperienced jousters may not have matched the records of last year's powerhouses, but they more than equalled their predecessors in fighting spirit and determination. Many times outmanned but never outfought the youthful Panthers rewarded their followers with a succession of excitingly close-fought games. By season's end all Panther teams were much improved, and, more import- antly. all had earned the respect of their foes. In truth, this was a satisfying year in sports. The best records were turned in by the wrestling and bowling teams which won Section VI Class A titles. Coach Bareham's grapplers also retained their Chautauqua County League Championship, as they continued unbeaten in league competition for the second successive year. The baseball team was likewise outstanding, reaching the Sectional finals only to lose to Lewiston-Porter by one run. The basketball and football teams i lacked experience and were less successful but played many excellent games while turning green hands into polished performers who should do well in the future, T Track and cross-country also fared well: tennis was added to the program: and a golf team was planned for the spring season. A thriving intramural program for both boys and girls completed the balanced sports menu for our 'ijoustersf' C'mon, gang, let's show some push. 96 Varsity Cheerleaders S. Dial. lVl. Luechauer. M. liumpf, R. liozian. G. VVakenhut, L, Smith Leading the cheers for Govvanda was the job of the smiling lasses pictured above. That they took their jobs seriously was evidenced by the comments of a number of old-time rooters that our teams had never before been cheered so loudly or so well. Many hours of rehearsal were required to perfect the clever cheers and vigorous acrobatics by which the cheerleaders spurred our teams to victory. Junior Varsity Cheerleaders Cheering the junior varsity teams on to victory were I. Marsh, M. Miller, E. Sipple, C Jones, C. Iones. Baton Twirlers High strutting twirlers who entertained at football and basketball games were D. Sille- man, D. Silleman, Tomastic, L. Seneca, D. Wakenhut. 98 Baseball llrom left: Coach Hillis, S.

Halftown. The Panthers baseball team had a very successful season, winning nine games while los- ing only two. The losses were by an SH7 score at Salamanca, and to Lewiston-Porter in the Sec- tion Vl Class A championship game by a 9-8 score. The team was made up of Virgil Halftown as catcher, Luman Dial at first, Virgil Seneca at second, Phil Saglimben at third, and Dick Seneca at short. The outfield had Dick Stitzel in right, Phil Palcic in center, and either Chuck Pulvino or Wes Thompson in left. Ted Smith led the pitchers as he won five games. Richard Derby and Bob Pierce rounded out the pitching staff. Ioe Pellegrino, who had been counted on as a pitcher, was ill all spring and did not pitch a game. Virgil Seneca led the hitters with a .457 average. His absence due to illness was felt dur- ing the playoffs. The team was a well-balanced squad with speed and hitting ability. Nine squad members were lost to the '56 squad due to graduation.

The 1955 Panther football team was not too successful as far as wins and losses are con- cerned, but did manage four ties, three of which were with teams that finished the season unde- feated. The team was green and inexperienced due to the loss of sixteen lettermen by graduation. However, the new men improved with every game and played some exciting and thrilling games. The Falconer game which ended in a 20-20 tie was full of thrills. Fine running by Skip Pine and standout pass receiving by Forrest Halftown and Virgil Seneca were the highlights for Gowanda. This tie was the only blot on the powerful Falconer's conference record, as they easily swept the Southwestern Conference Championship. The Randolph game also ended in a tie at 19-19. Karmen Stevens played an outstanding running and blocking game at fullback. The Harbor Creek game was lost by a score of 39-6. This game was marked by long runs by Harbor Creek and was the poorest game the Panthers played all year. The Springville game was another tie game at 6-6. Springville was the undefeated winner of the Erie County Division Ill league. Stevens was the outstanding runner on the Panther team, but the feature of the game was the fine defensive line play which kept Springville from win- ning and having a clean slate for the season. The Panthers finished the season without a win, but wound up in a third place tie with Fredonia in the Southwestern Conference. With the loss of only a few letter-men, the 1956 team should have a much better mark. Forrest I-lalftown was chosen on the Southwestern Conference All-Star team.

Follow- ing opening losses to Springville and the Thomas Indian School, the rapidly-improving J.V.'s went unbeaten through their remaining four games. Able backs Vernon Coon and Bob Gold paced a squad which included a number of promising candidates for next year's varsity. 101 Varsity Basketball First Row: R. Halflown, Pellegrino, R. Lennertz, V.

This may not have been the winningest basketball season in Gowanda history, but it cer- tainly must rank among the most thrilling in Panther annals. Close, exciting game succeeded close, exciting game as if Coach l-lollenbeck's hard-working crew were seeking to determine exactly how much suspense and excitement one suffering coach and one frenzied fandom could withstand. Probably the biggest victories were the 57-39 opening game triumph at Springville, the 74-49 walloping of Randolph before the local fans, and the tensely exciting 58-53 conquest of Iamestown on the home floor. But perhaps the two greatest battles were waged in losing causes. In the one Dunkirk's high-riding Lake Shore League champions barely managed a 60-58 victory with two end-of-the-game foul shots while in the other Falconer caged a last-second shot to take home a 65-64 triumph in as exciting a game as one can ever expect to see. Cverall, the Panthers won 8 games while losing 10. At home they recorded a winning 5-4 record but could do no better than 3-6 on the road. Nonetheless, in spite of their mediocre record the Panthers were in the thick of the fight for the Class A championship of the Lake Shore League until the final week of the season. This year's squad was built around four returning lettermen plus five players promoted from last year's l.V. team. Seniors Ioe Pellegrino, Bob Lennertz, Jack Griem, Virgil Seneca, and Forrest Halftown together with F0rrest's sophomore brother Roger saw the bulk of the action for Coach I-lollenbeck's crew. Flashy loe Pellegrino was a first team selection on the all Lake Shore League team chosen by the lamestown Post-lournal. Although the seniors did most of the playing this season, four of the younger squadmen saw enough action to letter. These, together with those to be gained from a rapidly improving l.V. squad, should give Coach Hollenbeck a promising squad with which to work next season. VARSITY SCORES 39 IO 1.

Coach Holmskog was forced to begin at the beginning with his I.V. squad this season as only one of his squadmen had had any previous organized basketball experience. His eager fresh- men and sophomores proved apt pupils, however. While gaining confidence and experience against stern opposition, the fledgling Panthers flashed occasional moments of brilliance which hinted of better things to come. The team won 5 games and lost 13 during the season. First Row: D, livans. D, Robbins. I. Salter, R, Gold, H, Acklcx, A, limcrson. S . :cond Row: I. bmith. lVl,1r.. Graves, E. Christopher.

Although the squad did not complete the Triple fSouthwestern Conference, County. and Sectionalsj, the boys did win the County over a favored Class AAA Olean team. The Panthers opened their campaign by dropping a twelve point decision to a strong Fre- donia team. The next two meets resulted in thirty-four and thirty point sweeps over Falconer and Salamanca respectively. The team was paced by the Dial brothers, Luman and Larry, with 48 and 47 points respectively. Both boys were double event men. Luman competed in the high jump and hurdles while Larry did the 440 and the broad jump. Ten men left the squad via the graduation route. This left only three returning letter- men upon which to build the 1956 team. The results of the meets were as follows: Gowanda 46 Fredonia 58 Cfowanda 69 Falconer 35 Cwowanda 67 Salamanca 37 Southwestern Conference: Gowanda 3rd i26Z pts.j County Meet at Clean: Gowanda lst.

Coach Bareham's grapplers grunted and groaned to the Section VI Class A title in the tournament held at Cleveland Hill. ln competition against all teams entered in the sec- tionals the Panthers finished fourth. In addition, the team manhandled all opponents in the Chautauqua County League to continue unbeaten for the second year and easily retained its county tournament championship. Gowanda's overall record was ll wins and 7 losses with all of the losses being to larger schools which have been competing in wrestling longer than the Panthers. The team was led hy three standout seniors. Larry Dial climaxed a highly successful season in which he won 16 matches while losing but one by becoming the Section VI 147-pound champ. In his first year of competition Robert Graves fought his way to second place in the 175- pound class at the sectionals while Ioe Degenfelder enjoyed an outstanding season as he won 9 The wrestlers can hardly wait to get to the new fully equipped wrestling room.

Although they did not enjoy the fame accorded to performers in other sports, the boys pictured above had the distinction of making up Gowanda Centra1's only undefeated team and one of its two Section VI championship squads. The Keglers won the Sectional V1 title by spilling 2460 pins in the sectional tournament. Bruce Anderson led the way as he rolled the high single game of 222 and the high triple of 567, Dennis Crouse's 548 and the 519 recorded by lim Martin were other noteworthy scores. The team was composed of the five highest average bowlers in the intramural bowling league. Some 24 boys participated in this increasingly popular wintertime activity, which was directed by Coach 1-lillis. The girls also showed a noticeable upsurge of interest in bowling. Miss Plumer regularly had 51 participants in the intramural league which she sponsored Tuesday afternoons at a local bowling alley. Leading bowlers were: 1416 Boys Girls Dennis Crouse 182.0 Nancy Warner 116.0 Bruce Anderson 169.3 ludy Fowler 111.0 Phil Saglimben 154.5 Avis Hubbard 1028 Iames Martin 149.0 Doris Anderson 101.1 Frank Kusiowski 147.1 Ida Mae Dehr 100.0 Intramurals Besides its interscholastic athletics, Cr.C.S. maintains a comprehensive program of intra- mural sports for students who are not on varsity teams. Both boys and girls participate in organ- ized leagues of seasonal sports during the activity period and after school. These leagues are under the direction of Mr. William lackson and Miss Geraldine Plumer. The intramural program is in addition to the regular physical education program which all students participate in during the school week. In their phys ed classes Coach Hillis and Miss Plumer provide the students with a balanced and attractive program of calisthenics and individual and team activities designed to improve their physical condition, whet their interest in sports and exercises as a desirable and healthful form of recreation, give them skilled directions on how to play a great variety of individual and team games, and instill in the students the ideals of good sports- manship and teamwork. Intramural Football Some 133 boys participated in the touch football league this year. Champions of the senior high league were the Unbeatables who compiled a 6-0 record largely because of the able quarterbacking of Virgil Halftown, the ace of last year's varsity. The junior high champs were the All Stars who swept through a seven game schedule without defeat. Intramural Basketball Honors in the senior high basketball league were divided between the Crusaders who swept through the regular schedule unbeaten, and the Smilies, who won the playoff series. Iunior high laurels went to the un- beaten Bulldogs. A total of 132 boys played in the league. Play-off victors, The Smilies, were: First Row: P. Saglimben, Spring. Second Row: tt. Campbell. Martin. C. Smith, M. Daniels. The girls' basketball leagues attracted 115 players. The junior high title was won by the Salem Warclouds whose members were Brenda Hill, Marybelle Scott, Jean Pyle, Rita Snyder, Caroline Seneca, Sue Offhaus, and Yvonne Per- kins. Winners of the senior high league were the Seneca Invaders. The Seneca Invaders featured First Rowr I. Button. C. Innes, P. Williams. P. Kennedy. Second Row: M. Bennett, P. Kennedy. K. Eels, Armstro q 107 Intramural Softball Most popular of the intramural prograns was softball which was played by 169 boys and 108 girls. The St. loes won the boys junior high crown with a 7-O mark while the Dayton Hicks led the boys senior high league with a 5-1 record. Intramural Wrestling A new feature of the intramural pro- gram this year was wrestling. Mr. Bare- ham, the wrestling coach, instructed some 54 boys in the rudiments of the sport. Winners ot the intramural tour- nament Were: 85-pound class Bruce Haggart, 98-pound class Don Holcomb, 103-pound class David Degenfelder, 112-pound class Hal Kumpf, 120-pound class lohn Ross, 127-pound class Charles Krebs, 135-pound class Bruce Waterman, 145-pound class Ralph Gioffreda, 155-pound class Marvin Pfleuger.
