Commonly we think of him as a sweet but oh so lonely little creature, wandering in society lost because of his failure to under- stand our conventions, and making often pitiable, often very funny remarks about his predicaments. He is, as his Hebrew name im- plies, a lost soul. He is the personification of two spirits in present day society. First, he is a manifestation of the defeatism and procrastina- tion prominent today. You just think you're happy , C'est la vie , Que sera, sera , says the defeatist, Next week we've got to get organized, says the procrastinator. This is the negative, the immature, the possibly dangerous side of his personality. His harmless side is a personification of our silly mistakes. The nebbish locks his keys in the car, he is constantly putting his foot in his mouth, he always forgets important things, he never spills things, but things seem to spill on him. This is a general definition of the nebbish. But to the year- book staff he is something more. He personifies the feelings and ideas of high school students as they mature. Early in their career, students are apt to be procrastinators, even defeatists. They do only what they are told to do, they do nothing until they are forced to do something. They are the nebbish in his most negative mood. But this feeling does not last. As they mature, students lose the idea the longer something is postponed the better, and they begin to see that they can influence their environment. They submerge the negative nebbish, and finally all that remains in them is his harmless side. Because the maturing of high school students can be likened to the change from one side of the nebbish to the other, the staff of the i959 In Retrospect has chosen this little creature to tell our story. The book is not a treatise on high school psychology, it is a history of Groton Central, i958-l959. The nebbish is therefore in the background but if you search care- fully, he is - everywhere. lit?

Dr. Seligman was born August 27, l9l2, in Krefeld, Germany. He studied medicine and graduated from the Munich and Berne Universities. During Hitler's regime, Dr. Se- ligman and his wife were forced to flee Ger- many. They arrived in the United States via Russia, Japan and the Pacific Ocean. After practicing medicine in Indiana, New York City, and Syracuse, he brought his family to Groton. Apart from his practice, Dr. Se- ligman was the Groton school physician for the duration of ten years. On September2, i958 the people of Groton learned with great sorrow of the sudden death of their beloved doctor. Dr. Seligman was part of Groton, he will be missed and ever remembered with pro- found respect and deep admiration. 4 BOARD of EDLICATICD The Boord of Education discusses current school problems.

You can find me almost anywhere. Next time you're in a bus station or at the beach, or any- where the public gathers, you will see me. There I am, trying to hide the spot on the front of my new coat. There I am, wondering where I left my wallet. That was I spilling that stack of suitcases or that bag of groceries. You will see me in school, too. I just fell over backwards in my chair, I lost my homework paper - but I did it , I dropped my lunch tray, I don't know why I should try - I'm quitting next year anyway, I don't have to do that tonight- it's not due until Friday. I don't have much personality myself, but I'm a part of your personality. I am inseparably with you, no matter what you do, but you see me differ- ently as you grow older. As we remember this past year together, let me show you what I mean. 6 f ji Smile when you say N ? that, pardner. NX 9 Happiness She said that about me? What do you want me to do orbit?

CARL SAVINO Elementary Supervisor MR. GEORGE BEERS Jr. High Guidance and Teach ing 8 PRlNClPAL'S MESSAGE Someone once said - Only he.who can see the invisible can do the impossible l Alexander Graham Bell, Thomas A. Edison, and other great men certainly had this talent. Our space scientists today are drawing plans of almost unbelievable situations that will exist in the near future. Imagination is not a special aptitude limited to great scientists and inventors, it is a trait with which all of us may develop happy and successful lives. The accumulation of facts and knowl- edge which you have attained through a for- mal high school program will be of little val- ue unless you develop a creative spirit of imagination. The manner in which imagination is employed in your future occupation, in your religion and in your home and community will largely determine the progress and fur- ther development of our democratic way of life.

THE WORLD O lt's a wonderful feeling to be a Junior! The newness and inexperi- ence of second year life are not there, yet we are not faced with the reality of graduation and goodbye. The year is full of escapades for the Juniors-the exciting prom, the rings ishined every morningi, that dreaded term paper. The Jun- ior class is ubiquitous - its mem- bers can be found on athletic teams in dance band, or working in stu- dent council. After school, many have jobs in preparation for the ex- periences of life which are just a- round the corner!

And the way these boys work, the only time l ever get my foot inside that gym door is when an especially obvious mistake is made. This is good-for those who participate in sports learn the importance of my absence, they learn to control themselves and me in them. When the season is over, whether we have won or lost, each one has gained some- thing valuable trom the experence. But this learning is not limited to the players. The spectators, too, benefit from the sports activities of our school. How to behave, how to enjoy the thrill of winning or to accept the crush of defeat - these are skills as valu- able as those the players learn. With this kind of spirit in the air, I go unnoticed, l'm just lost in the crowd. Ellbiigl-'31i:.Lw6.55lli.1V 'iii.laifil-:T'f4K4t5 !sSik'5f11.5--i'iil4 SPORTS fe, J.V.

SCHOOL TODAY G.C.S. student leadership is well organized. Four representatives of each high school class, plus elected officers and Tri-County members solve the problems which frequently arise in our school. Re- vision of the constitution, scheduling of student ac- tivities and sponsoring dances are only a few of the jobs that confronted this year's Student Council. The Tri-County members are not only partici- pants of the Student Council but members of the interschool Student Council from Tompkins, Seneca and Tioga counties. They alternate meeting places and discuss various topics. This year our school is honored to have the Tri-County President, Joanne Lucas, from our school. Student Council: Standing: R.

The auditorium darkens, the piano sounds a formal march, slowly grey-robed figures procede down the aisle, and another Honor Society tapping ceremony is under way. The scholars of the sopho- more and junior classes are about to be recognized. Working with teachers, helping their class- mates, these students are constantly making their presence felt in the school. Throughout the basket- ball season the Honor Society sells refreshments at home games. Money earned is presented to a de- serving senior as a scholarship. Each spring from the Junior class two boys are chosen to represent our school at Boys' State, and in alternate years a delegate is chosen for Girls' State. While these lucky students are at their conferences, they are intimately acquainted with the workings of our state government. After they return home they long remember the friends they gained and the won- derful things they did. 65 Girls' State delegate Kelsey and Boys' State delegates Road and Stringham discuss experiences over their homework. Editor Rood, Assistant Editor Stringham, and advisor Mrs. Peters quietly go insane together. l don't know what it does, but you set it before you take a picture, says Photographer Seligman to Assistant Campbell.

Mr. O'Connell and five students went to Canada on an exchange program with St. Laurent High School of Montreal, Quebec. Four juniors and one senior were chosen to attend o citizenship seminar where they competed with students from all over the state for scholarships to Syracuse Uni- versity, and two bond members and three chorus members were chosen to represent our school in the All-State sectional band and chorus concert in Syracuse. Thus, through these ambassadors, Groton has become ac- quainted with the world.

As the panorama of the year unfolds on these pages, we remember that some of the most important, the saddest, the happiest moments have been in our gatherings together. Away for a while from the routine of study-read-write, these are the hours of fun and laughter that we'll never forget. The Junior Prom is the highlight of the year, the crowning social event. lt is held in May when the weather is beautiful and the atmo- sphere is set for romance. But between proms, those Friday night winter dances manage to keep rock and roll alive. There are many more times and places where we relax. You know, we can't target about getting rid of that nebbish in us at a dinner, a tea, or a concert, anymore than we can in school. But he really runs rampant at our rollerskating parties, down at the pond in ice-skating time, around the bend on a bobsled. These next pages will tell the story of the social lite around G.C.S. lt's a lot ot fun! 76 I GFF THE CUFF The Blob makes its appearance in Groton at the sophomore dance, and reveals its mysterious insides.

When they were younger, my characteristic tendencies toward defeatism and procrastination showed in all their work. As they grew older, these qualities began to disappear, until finally, with the close of this year, the exorcism of these elements was complete, and my negative spirit was gone from them forever. Their classes, their classmates, their teachers and advisors, the activities and sports in which they worked and played and learned, have all helped them through the years. But now they are putting these things away, they are starting another phase in their lives. ln some of them l may appear again, for most of them my passivity and listlessness are gone. But wait - l am not gone from them completely. My muddling ways are still with them. They will continue to make mistakes. They will still forget social amenities and find it hard to follow conventions. I will always be a part of them, wherever they go. I RICHARD L.

Now the story is told. the book is finished, and now I have to leave you - physically. We've done a lot of wonderful things together this year, and we shall continue to do many more. I want to thank you for the chance to tell this story - I hope I've done a good job. Take care, all of you. Look out for me, because of what I can do to you. Watch yourself, your friends, your teachers, whether studying, working, or relaxing. You will see me, for l am everywhere. I know I've caused some trouble, but more than that, I have caused laughter, and created in you a better understanding of yourself and your friends. You are better prepared for life because of me. But now I must really be going - I've so much to do , . So long, G. C. S. 97 ' PATRONS Wallace and Dorothy Holmes, D.V.M. Fredrick E. Denton, D.D.S. Myer Ka rp, Attorney-of-low Willard R.
