I ol'HKl t i-vv vi Ii 1H M ■i pSI As we, the Class of '59, leave Griffith Institute, we will always remember Mr. Whitmer who has dedicated his utmost efforts toward the guidance of our class. If it were not for his efforts, our class would never have achieved its goals. Therefore, we are indeed proud, to dedicate this Griffonell to you, MR. WHITMER, as a token of our appreciation and gratitude. The Class of '59 1)1  Sitting Left to Right: P. Wiser, J. King, M. Berber, B. Baker, A. Tharnish, J. Baer. Standing: J. St. Martin, L.

The theme of the 1959 Griffonell is the G.l. school district, illustrated by photographs and action pictures. Under the counsel of Mrs. Cranmer, those juniors and seniors interested in editing a yearbook meet every eighth period in Room 216. This yeor's staff has toiled and put in many hours of overtime work to meet the pressing deadline. The job of preparing for print a book indicative of our well co-ordinated school district has not been an eosy one. Gratitude for completing this job goes, not only to ardent staff members, but to Mr. Jox and Mr. Carl who have captured the mood ot actual class sessions through their candid snap shots; to Mrs. Leone for her literary assistance; to the business department which has loaned typists to prepare captions for print; to Mr. Allen, the photographer from Rochester, to the many loyal sponsors whose donations have eased the financial burden of the yearbook production; and to you, the subscribers. Yes, you have all contributed to moking the school memories of this year live on through the pages of the 1959 Griffonell and the Class of '59 graduates, thank you. 7Z - Dedication Page 2 Senior Poll 34, 35 Griffonell Staff 3 Senior Snap Shot Page 36, 37, 38 Administration 4 5 Student Prize Winners 39 Faculty 6 7 Halloween Window Painting 40 Personnel 8 Underclasses 42-51 Scenes of our School District 9 Underclass Snap Shots 52, 53, 54 Exchange Student, Fred Battig 10 Honor Organizations 56 Seniors 12-31 Activities 58-66 Senior Honor Roll 31 Cheerleaders 68 Class History and the Graduation Sports 69 - 77 Committee 32 Our Sponsors 77, 80, 81 Snaps Around G.l 33 77 3 Mr. William Sawin graduated from high school at Lowville Free Academy.

' Cross Destination: Nurse Destination: Farmer c L A S S H I S T 0 R Y The Senior Class of 1959 has had four great years to remember. The outstanding activity of our Fresh- man year was our Stationery Sale. A year later as Sophomores, we pre- sented three one-act plays. Other activities were the Snake Dance, Sadie Hawkin's Dance and the Christmas Ball. As Juniors, we presented a three-act play “Mr. Barry's Etchings. The Christmas card sale, the Harvest Dance and several Record Hops were among other activities. The highlight of this year was the Junior Prom. Finally we realized that we were Seniors. This year proved to be very successful under the able leadership of Kermit Starkweather, our president. We started the year with the Magazine Sale, a Senior Carnival and a Donkey Basketball Game. For the first time in G.l. an open-east play entitled And Never Been Kissed was presented. During the second semester all the activi- ties on the agenda were successfully carried out and the goal we had been striving for, the Washington Trip, was realized. The great climax was Graduation follow- ed by the Senior Ball which we will always remember with happiness. Thanks to Mr. Whitmer, our chief ad- visor, and our other faculty advisors, our high school career has been an enjoyable and successful experience. And so ends the High School history of the Class of 1959. GRow One: Mr. Cronmer, Miss Tartaglio, Miss Neory, Mrs. Whitehead, Miss Gole, Miss Cary, Mr. Hutchinson.

As Freshmen we all looked forward to four happy years at G.l. Under the able leadership of our President, Donald Feuz, we started on our first big money making venture, our Stationery Sale. Through the year we had the usual candy and baked good sales. Our first year in high school came to an end with the Freshman Street Dance adding the finishing touch. The Snake Dance started off our Sophomore year at G.I., next came the Sadie Hawkin's Dance with each girl asking her favorite guy. We had a contest for Daisy Mae, Wolf Gal and Lil Abner.

Our patch hop was a huge success with the boys being boss for once and the girls waiting on them. It was funny to see girls carrying boy's books and lunch trays and holding the door for them. Now in our Junior year we have a new President, Moe Kessler. Under his leadership our class will see another successful year. All of us were looking forward to getting our class rings before Christmas. Our Harvest Dance was our main fall activity and of course the Junior Prom was a climax to another year at G.l.

We were very successful in all we did from hot dog sales at football games, to candy and baked goods sales, but the highlight of the year was a Dinner Dance given for the Student Council. In 8th grade, we took on bigger projects. We sold Christmas corsages and had a radio give-away. Along with these activities, we had many baked goods sales and a dance.

As always, we had numerous baked goods and candy sales and a few dances. This school year, short as it has been so far, has already been profitable for us, for we have just put on a street dance which was a great success. Even as our past years at G.l. have been successful, we hope that the class of '61 will go on to be the best class yet to graduate from Griffith Institute. 45 ADVISORS — Seated: Miss Cary, Mrs. Garri- son, Miss Hannon.

CLASS OFFICERS President _______________________ Paul Simon Vice-President George Keen Secretary Elaine Benkleman Treasurer ________________________ Jane Berney 51 Eoch year the American Legion chooses nearly 1000 boys from all over New York State and spon- sors them, for o week at the Col- gate University Campus at an expense of $50,000. These boys are chosen by a board, made up of teachers and Legionnaires, for qualities in scholarship, leader- ship, and participation in school and community affairs. At Boys' Stote, these fellows elect on en- tire New York State government. Then they put it into operation. This year's representatives from G. I. held high offices in this government. Kermit Starkweather was elected Mayor of his city. Roy Knapp was one of the eight boys to hold a stote office. He was a judge on the highest court in New York Stote, the Court of Appeals. The experience gained was well worth the effort and time spent. This is something all boys should strive to attain. Each year one of the outstanding junior' girls is chosen to attend Girls' State, which is sponsored by the American Legion Auxiliary. To begin with, the graduation committee chooses several junior girls who are best qualified for Girls' State, those out- standing in leadership, character, scholarship, and service to the community, church and school. These candidates are then requested to submit a letter of qualification to the committee. Upon the basis of this letter, vorious recommendations, and qualifica- tions, G. I.'s representative to Girls' Stote is chosen. This year Marilyn Bates was the girl selected from G. I. She attended Empire Girls' State for one week at New Paltz College, and lived with 274 other junior girls from all parts of New York State. Citizens of Girls' State experience a week studded with incessant educational and social activity. Educa- tional instruction on the affairs of government was fostered to increase the usefulness of future leadership. Each girl learned the fundamentals of our local, state, and federal government throuah lectures given by promi- nent speakers. Debates and discussions en ouraaed airls to give their personal viewpoints on such subjects as capital punishment, teenage driving, going steady, and popularity. In order to show how our qovernment is run bv a two party svstem. Girl Staters divided into two political parties. Mock conventions and elect:ons were token to Albany where they met Governor Harrimon Indeed, the exoerience at New Paltr will ne er sink into oblivion in the heort of a Girl Stater. For she will never foroet the practical exoerience of aovernment, the social experiences, the skit nioht. the talent show, the snack bar, paiama parties, and most of all the now friends she made. No. she will olwavs cherish Gir|s' State as one of the fondest memories of her school life, and be thankful she hod the privilege to attend Empire Girls' State. njv? assas aw In June of 1958 Griffith Institute sponsored our communities first Art Fair. It was managed by Mrs. Sandro Cranmer and wos held at Fiddler's Green in Springville on a damp, but eventful Spring day. Mr. Schorge brought out the G.l.
