Harrisville Central School - Pirates Log Yearbook (Harrisville, NY)

Text from Pages 1 - 53 of the 1958 volume:

. ...... .. ■«ii foreword Since the dawn of history Man has felt the need to leave behind some vestige of his pas- sage. This urgent exigency constrained the caveman to re- cord on the walls of a darkened cavern his prowess as a hunts- man. Abandoning later his primitive habitat, he fashioned for himself a wondrous world of heated huts and beauteous shrines. And so, as he jour- neyed through the centuries, he dotted the countryside with landmarks which revealed that his growth had been both rapid and awesome for as his material achievements grew in number and impressiveness so did the scope of his intellectual conquests, truly his greatest landmark . The greatest legacy of any generation to its community is the school it provides for within the walls of this plant is moulded man’s most precious possession- his mind. A most valuable and valued landmark is unquestionably the School , dedication One of the noblest calling in life is that to the teaching profession for those who enter this profession are motivated, not by the at- traction of financial return, but by an unsatiable desire to activate and guide the creative potential of the mind. The intel- lectual and material landmarks” achieved through the centuries are sufficient proof of the success of this dedicated segment of any generation. It is, therefore, with boundless pride that THE 1958 PIRATES LOG dedicates this year's edition to a team of educators, MR. AND MRS. BERNARD SHINNICK. We trust that this honor will in some small measure be a reward for their many years of service and their countless hours of unrequited labor both in and out of the classroom. administration f? 5 bey I Fo yd Dr. Milton Boyden Supervising Principal Mr. John Gannon Vice Principal Miss Dorothy Hickey Secretary faculty Mrs. Mary LaDuc, Dental Hygienist Miss Lois Killingbeck, Kindergarten Mrs. Marjorie Fuller, Eighth Grade Miss S.

Standing: Mr. Marcel LeBlanc, Faculty Adviser, Richard Wood, Gerald Humes, Robert Ogrodnik, Murray Collette, Vice-President, Donald Hathway, President. One of the highliights of the year, National Honor Society-wise, was the March Induction Ceremony. Two new probationary members were added from the Sophomore Class. They were Donald Rose and Winnie Mae Silvernell. The Society met regurlarly in the Homemaking House. Whenever possible, the business meeting was followed by a social hour. At the suggestion of the school librarian, the local chapter constituted itself as an advisory council concerning the selection and purchase of new volumes for the school library. It set aside fifteen minutes of each business meeting for this purpose. Each member was requested to suggest a number of titles which he or she felt should be added to the current selection. A critical examination of each sug- gested title was held and, when favorable, the librarian was informed of the council’s decision. A pleasure-educational trip is to be planned for the Spring. Details are hot available at this time, however. Last year, the group motored to Rochester where they were guests of the Kodak Company.

Homeroom teacher: Miss Mildred Mannigan ADULT EDUCATION Mr. John Gannon comments on the Adult Education Program thus: There is no excuse today for a person to merely exist, to go through life with a sterile mind and an impoverished spirit. In almost every community, the public school offers opportunities for men and women to broaden their knowledge, enrich their thinking and discover beauty and personal satisfaction in their everyday living. It is, therefore, the goal of the Adult Education Program to provide the means for such personal growth through the courses set up by the people and for the people of a community During the 1957-58 scholastic year the following courses were offered: Ceramics, Mr. Edward McChesney; Woodworking, Mr. Edward McChesney; Sewing, Mrs. June Gabriel; Secretarial Practices, Mr. Leonard Kapochus; Physical Fitness, Mr. Thomas Doogan. Mr. John Gannon was Director of the program. this page co-sponsored by HIRSCHEY'S MOTOR SALES and WALT S RESTAURANT SECOND GRADE First row: Bruce Miller, Robert Peck, Patricia Ogrodnik, Hiram Harris, Edward Baker.

This rating places last year's edition in the seventieth percentile, i.e., it was found to be superior to seventy percent of all yearbooks submitted in its size class. Needless to say that this commendable rating could not have been possible without the moral and financial support of the school's many friends. Thank you. this page co-sponsored by R. S.

Homeroom teacher: Miss Lois Killingbeck SENIOR ACTIVITIES SENIOR TRIP Once again this year the Senior Class spent a great deal of time and energy in money-making projects which would help it finance its annual trip to the big city , New York. In October, a magazine sub- scription campaign was held. Helen Weekes established a new individual total sales record of over one hundred and one dollars while both Arthur Clarke and Patricia Fenton hit the above-ninety dollars mark. A few weeks later the class conducted the most successful Christmas card cam- paign to date with sales totaling close to five hundred dollars. Its last substantial money-making venture involved the sale of refreshments at the home basketball games. The class wishes to thank all who were so generous and understanding. this page co-sponsored by WATERTOWN LINEN SUPPLY and GILBERT'S LAUNDRY KINDERGARTEN First row: Steven Lancor, Robert Bechler, Thomas Bond, Joseph Dundon, Pamela Reed.

It would take too long to list all the names of the members of this organization who donated their time and talent to make this Holy Season more meaningful and memorable. Santa Claus (John Naccari), not to be outdone,cow belled his way into the gym- nasium and, as the photo reveals, soon found himself surrounded by a bevy of lovely underclassmen willing and anxious to whisper into his ear that they had been good little girls ( at least, that is what we assume they were whispering!) After the distribution of nominal gifts, the line once again formed at the refreshment table where delicious punch and tidbits were being served by members of the PTA. A record dance followed for all stu- dents in the High School. The yearbook staff, on its behalf and that of the whole student body, wishes to thank the Parent-Teacher Association for this gesture.
