It is good, we believe, for us to think about and to rededicate ourselves to those principles of real Americanism which caused our forefathers to found this land and which have been responsible for much of its greatness. Only by adhering re- ligiously to these principles of Americanism can our country fulfill the great role of leadership in maintaining world peace, a leadership in which it must not fail. It is absolutely necessary that dissension caused by differences in race, creed and color be removed from our American scene. Surely our school life has set a wonderful example for us in this respect for here tolerance toward and respect for our fellow students is the un- derlying law of our school society. At the beginning of each assllbly we have reverently and solem - ly said 'I pledge allegiance to the flag of the United States of Amer- ica and to the Republic for which it stands, one nation, indivisible, with liberty and Justice for alln. We can best make this pledge real and meaningful in our lives, by practicing the virtue of tolerance to- ward our fellow men. It is merely a question of whether we can carry over into our out-of-school and later adult l1fe,a way of living which we have practiced so successfully in school. 2 K Y X guxl , 5 xx X g xQ X if ?

Since that day men through countless generations have striven and died to attain and keep that peace. The blood of ancient tribes mingled through the ages with the blood of modern man, staining a scarlet path to that supreme objective, Peace. The challenge of today is shall we obliterate the petty differences in race, creed and color and live in harmony? For today in a world of material- ism, in a world filled with the ravages of the recent war, with the yawning graves of our beloved war dead a silent testament to that last peace for which we fought and won, the dire need for men and nations to re-consecrate themselves to the principles of peace bedomes more evident each day. We, the members of the Editorial Staff of l9k8, dedicate this nwooden Shoe' to the spirit of tolerance, understanding and justice which alone can be the basis for worl eace X X W, J Ag! 2 R Y A I J' .lP 3 9- Rf, 'VUE LM!-X M TEH A J J I VT X Eat .

Control of schools through boards of education has kept American schools responsive to immediate popular w1lL Local autonomy has proved exceedingly effective in giving our democracy a system of education unmatched in any major country at any time. Indeed the our But The local board of education is one of the most profoundly American of all cherished institutions. ' membership on a board of education entails grave responsibilities. educational opportunities available to the youth of any community de- pend in large measure upon the vision and ability of the men and women who compose the local board. Thenwooden Shoen staff of 1948 salutes the members of our board of educa- tion for the faithful and unselfish service they are rendering our school and community. 6 PHI CIP L I believe that the members of the Editorial Staff showed fine Judgement in their selection of the theme for the 'Wooden Sheen of 1948. In days of uncertainty, like these in which we live, it is indeed most important that we keep our minds constantly focused upon Americanism and all that it means It has been said, and wisely I believe, that we can contribute more effec- tively to world peace by making Americanism shine forth before all men as a wonderful way of living than in any other way. If we accept this idea, there is no longer any need for a feeling of futility or frustration when we think of what we, as humble ind1viduals,can do to help stem the seeming- ly inevitable drift toward another war. First,it becomes our clear duty to understand more fully the privileges of American citizenship and to see that these privileges are made available to all our fellowmen. Secondly, we must fulfil the duties and responsibilities of citizenship unselfishly and unreservedly. If we, each and every one in his own small way, would do this, I'm sure we could make Americanism a mighty force for world peace. Q5m.o.fS -1-A 7 Steffen. . . . . . . . . . . . .

That is why an in- telligent, capable grade faculty is of utmost importance since to the grade teacher falls the great responsibility of giving each child the proper start in his educational career. The grade teacher, confront- ed by growing class enrollments, and an ever-increasing body of sub- ject matter and techniques, has been called upon to develop a new art of mass education to insure the survival of the individual ch1ld's personality, natural gifts and abilities. Our grade teachers are constantly striving to provide those exper- iences which will result in maximum pupil growth in skills and tech- niques and in the development of those desirable attitudes, habits and ideals so necessary for successful living in our democratic society. i 9 ADULT EVENING Ceramics SCHOOL PROGRAM iNF 'gfx , .C as -4 c-Q-1 Industrial Arts , Q, C.

TANNER Advisor CL 55 HISTUHY In the year of nineteen hundred and thirty-six thirty-five boys and girls entered upon the threshold of a new world when they enrolled in the first grade at H.C.S. and met their new teacher, Miss Stottle. Those of us who were in this group and who this June will complete twelve years at Holland Central are:Mary Ellen Lewis, Lorraine Penses, Beatrice Neischel, Marjorie Piedmont, Donna Berg, Carol Schreiber,Raymond Edington, Norbert Borowski, Floyde Becker, and Colin Gould, As we look back over our six years in the grades we recall the plays and assembly programs we presented, the class picnics that climaxed each year and the many other good times we had.Miss Sutton was our second and third grade teacher and Mrs. Renfro, our fourth grade teacher. Miss Schenk taught us in fifth grade and Mrs. Kenner in our sixth year. As we grew, so too did our class with new students. Donald Snyder came in third grade, Inez Geer in fourth, and Donald Austin in sixth. Our graduation from sixth grade was the most enjoyable occasion in our first six years. There were 37 students in the gradua- ting class, and with that event our years in the ele- mentary grades were concluded. When we came back to school in the fall, we were happy to be in Junior High School. Miss Haffa was our homeroom teacher, and we elected class officers: presi- dent, David Baker, vice-president, Marjorie Piedmont, and Carol Schreiber, secretarybtreasurer.We chose Donna Berg and Tony Wnek as representatives to the General 0rganizat1on.0ur eighth year was high-lighted by atre- quent change of teachers, first it was Miss Longnecker, then Mr. Smith, next came Mrs. Buck, and finally Miss Widger. This year Mary Ellen Lewis and Jean Rickettson were our G.O. representatives, while our class officers were: president, Clifford Rice, vice-president, Raymond Edington, and secretary-treasurer,Shirley Benzel.During our last year in Junior High School, Mr. Ray and Miss Baird were our class advisors. Our class officers were: president, Donna Berg, vice-president, Tony Wnek, and secretary-treasurer, Carol Schrelber.Junior High School seemed to have the most attraction for new students and our ranks were swelled as Marie Arndt, Richard Brooks, Thomas Carnes, Rose and Robert Reinhardt, Bud Bohadlo, Helen Reynolds, and Donna George joined our class. We were represented in the G.O.by Donald Snyder,Mary Ellen Lewis, and Rose Reinhardt. A class picnic was held on June 7,and then our Junior High School years came to an end with an impressive graduation program. The final phase of our secondary education came as we entered the sophomore class in l9L5. Kenneth Helm joined our class that year and Marjorie Piedmont brought distinction to our class by being elected secretary-treasurer of the G.0.0ur class officers were: president, Clifford Rice, vice-president, Robert Rein- hardt, and secretary-treasurer, Rose Roinhardt. Our class received the able assistance of our advisors, Miss Chassin and Miss Baird.Tholas Carnes,Donna George and Donna Berg represented us in the G.O. Senate. On June 13th we had our annual class picnic. Our Junior year seems to have been a most active one. We had a happy and successful year with Mr.Wr1ght as our advisor and the following as class officers: president, Robert Reinhardt, vice-president, Norbert Borowski, and Lorraine Penzes, secretary-treasurer.The G.O. representatives were Donald Austin, Mary Ellen Lewis and Rose Rsinhardt.0n the 21st of March the mem- bers of our class successfully presented a one- act play entitled 'Murders of Miriam' under the direction of Mr. Ray.Alice Rosten and LeRoy Lowe joined our room that year and Bud Bohadlo was elected vice-president of the G.O. Senate. The Junior Prom, held on May 23, was an outstanding affair and the biggest social event of our school career to that date. Finally we entered our Senior year under the gui- dance of Mr. Tanner. Our very able class officers for the big year were: president, Richard Brooks, vice - president,Colin Gould, and Secretaryhtreasuren Marjorh Piedmont. The newcomers this year were Lucia Johnson and Doris Gunson. This year proved to be the busiest one of our school career both socially and scholasti- cally. The Senior Ball held on May 28th was the most important social event and the picnic held in June climaxed our year. We can't forget the grand outdoor party given us by our advisor, Mr. Tanner and the Christmas party held in the school cafeteria. We will always cherish the thoughts of the happy hours spent rehearsing for the play, 'Little Women' which was one of the most successful presented at H.C.S. Many mem- bers of the class have had the honor of holding offices in our student government this year and mostof us have participated in extra-curricular activities. This brings to a close our years in Holland Cen- tral School. It is with both joy and sorrow that we leave. Our pride and joy comes from having attained this part of our education, yet we are sad in leaving our teachers and friends, whom we have come to know in these twelve years. We wish to thank Mr. Brumated, especially, and all our teachers who have helped usin any way to attain this goal.We will all remember, for- ever, these twelve happy years spent in H.C.S. The academic training which we have received and also the training in good citizenship which our school has so generously made available to us through demo- cratic student government and an extensive program of extra-curricular activities, controlled in large meas- ure by the students themselves, will indeed help us to play our part more effectively in this troubled world. We have learned the value of democratic cooperation, the essence of true Americanism.

WAre you coming to the Junior Square Dance?W was the query of all the Juniors as they began their social activities for the year. Many answer d with a smiling nyesn, and the autumn dance proved an initial success. Then came December, and Santa Claus! Pine boughs and lighted tree set the atma phere for the Christmas luncheon served in the Junior homeroom.Christmas carols, friendly greetings, gifts, and Santa Claus made merriment complete. The Junior Class First! That was their slogan for an over-the-top charity drive. The Juniors were first with a 1905 contribution. CLASS OFFICERS WPancakesl Pancakesln was the Junior cry before Easter vacation Why? On April sixth'the Juniors sponsored a Pancake Supper in the school cafeteria. It was a sweet and syrupy occasion. Soft strains of music, colorful gardens, delicate tints of spring gowns, this was the setting for the beautiful Junior Prom, the highlight of the Junior date book. Everyone anticipated the sus- pense, that half hour of golden memory when the spotlight fell on the scene of the coronatlon of the Junior King and Queen. A pro- cession of lovely Junior misses including Agnes Carter, Dolores Bogucki,Anna Reuter, Orville Palmer,Faye Tiffany, and Joyce Kuhn, and six charming boys: Daniel Owens, Donald Helm, Charles Logan, Norbert Bakowski,Wil1iam Devling, and Donald Pfeifer ascended the throne for the coronation. Juniors and Seniors came out in their spring best for their ban- quet, an occasion for forgetting friendly rivalries and cementing Junior-Senior friendships. The Juniors bade their happy year adieu with an enjoyable picnic plans for an exciting summer, and high hopes for an equally sue- Agnes Carter cessful senior year.

The Sophomores had a very successful year under the leadership of their officers who are as follows: president, Tom Currog vice president, Joyce Fischer and secretaryb treasurer, Teresa Keefe. Mrs. Button acted as class advisor for one section and Mr. Lupean for the other. Mary Schreiber was elected G. O. secretary-treasurer and the class chose Betty Helm, Duane Jacobs, and Nancy Kirkby as its G. O. representatives. The class has enjoyed several important social functions this year. Each section had a separate Christmas Party in December and began the Christmas vacation in a true holiday spirit. For the first time in a great many years the Sophomores sponsored a spring dance. It was held on April 9th and a large crowd enjoyed the music of Charlie Smith's Orchestra. The dance was very suc- CLASS OFFICERS cessful both socially and financially. Several Sophomores took part in the one-act plays presented on April 23rd. The ones who turned out to be good actors and act- resses were: Joyce Fischer, Marilyn Linde, Joe Szulewski, William Jones, Vincent Keefe, Mary Schreiber, Betty Heim and Nancy Kirkby Names of the Sophomore Class members were also prominent in the list of high school students whose essays on Americanism were se- lected as outstanding.

Russell Wohlgemuth was elected president, George Reinhardt became Vice-President, and Kenneth Heller was chosen secretary-treas- urer. Soon plans were under way for a class party which was held in December at the school. This class of typical young Americans is engaged in many activities. Some are members CLASS OFFICERS of the school band, the chorus, and of various clubs. They have taken part in the sports program of the school and some are proud wearers of awards given to the winning intramural teama Through the Junior Red Cross and CARE they have extended aid to others. The class presented a one-act play in assembly in February. The play was a real success and proved that there is much dramatic talent in the Freshmen class. The highlight of the year will, of course, be the Junior High School promotion program which will be held on Monday evening, June 28th. The members hope to make it an outstanding program.

The Eighth Graders, under the guidance of Mr. Willson, chose these officers to lead their activities during the year: Jack Kirkby, presidentgwalter Lewis, vice-president, Theresa Matuszak, secretary, James Thompson and Donna Barrow, G.0. Representatives. The biggest social event of the year was a Christmas party held in the cafeteria on December l7.After all had received gifts and had refreshments, the class began its Christmas recess in the proper holiday spirit. Although having good times themselves, these students didn't forget that many others in the world are not as fortunate as they. Inspired by actual snapshots of hungry European children taken by their teacher, the children showed a fine, generous nature in sacrifi- cing to contribute money to buy a CARE package. They were the first group in the school to reach this goal. In connection with this and their study of business CLASS OFFICERS and friendly letters, several groups wrote letters to American children who are with their soldier fathers in Germany and also to some Genman children. Such activities gave many of the class members ideas for their essays on Americanism which were written when the class participated in the contest sponsored by the American Legion. The winner whose essay was submitted to the County contest was Mary Laks. The second best essay in the boy's division was written by James Bogucki. Junior candidates for the Hollywood W0scarn made their appearance when the Eighth Grade presented a one-act play, WIt's the Simple Lifed on April 9. Although rehearsals were interrupted by Easter recess, the co mittees worked very efficiently on properities, costuming, etc. On March 19 the county spelling contest was held in H.C.S. Eight menu bers of the class participated. Geraldine Potter was among the last four to go down. Her obstacle was the word Nconsciencen. The final activity of the year was an outing at Emery Park where much fun and frolic took place.

A better understanding of our community life was the core of the seventh grade curriculum for this year. Visits to points of interest in the community and talks by town officials helped to make this study practical and meaningful. The class is indebted to Supervisor Harold Haws and Justice of the Peace Donald Moore who gave freely of their time to visit the social studies classes and explain the duties of their respective offices. Two events stand out as highlights of the year's activities. They are the assembly pro- gram which was presented before the junior-senior high school students in March and the other was the trip of the honor society to the Buffalo Zoo and Museum of Science. The class is proud of John Dooley who won first prize in the elementary boys' division of the Americanism essay contest. Also Suzanne Brumsted and Florence Dynarski brought honor to the class by winning second place in the essay and spelling contests respectively. A Christmas party and a picnic at Emery Park in June were the most important social ewans on the 7th grade calendar. Both of these events were enjoyed by all members of the class. Despite a crowded schedule of work and play the seventh graders did not forget their duty to others less fortunate than they. The class contributed liberally to the United Chart ties Drive and they also sent a CARE package to a needy family in Europe. 21+ for the establishment of a Chapter of the National Honor Society in November 1937. Since that time approximately thirty students have been extended the high honor of membership in this nation- wide organization. NATIONAL HONOR SUCIETY Q Z X zation states that candidates shall be judged in the light of four important qual1ties,namely Character,Scholarship, Leadership and Service In order to be eligible for membership a student must excel in all of these qualities. At the beginning of this school year we had no members of the National Honor NATIUNAL HU UH SUEIETY The purpose of the National Honor Society is to provide a means for honor- ing those students who have proved them- selves to be exceptional school citizens.

M mbership in the local Honor Society is restricted to those students who consistently maintain an average of 905 or above. Although the members do not elect officers or carry on a program of activi- ties as other clubs do, membership in the society is a cherished goal of most students. This year the junior high school members visited the Buffalo Museum of Science and the Zoo and the senior high school members visited State Teachers College at Buffalo. It is a significant fact that most of the students who have maintained membership in the local Honor Society this year have also been very ac- tive in all extracurricular activities. 25 CURBICULAR ACTIVITIES JY.: X 9 M ? 1.11 N '7 'KAR Industrial Arts Home Economics Science Social Studies ii Ixxx 'ff' - M 3 'Ti idk I MMM Xxsx Physical Education Typing f GR E5 Y W 1 A P 1' gi!

Prom that day last fall, when the ballots had been counted and election of Tom Carnes, 'h8, president, Joyce Kuhn, 'h9, vice-president and Mary Schreiber, '50, secretary-treasurer had been announced, the Student Senate of the General Organization began its activities. The G.O.'s legislative arm has promoted numerous-ventures de- signed to make the student life in Holland Central enjoyable. On December 12th it sponsored a movie, 'Junior Missn. Dancing classes were held fifth period during the winter months and the Christmas spirit permeated the entire building after the student senate members set up the Christmas tree in the lower corridor, and decorated the cafeteria. Immediately following the Christmas recess, the senate put on the NStudent United Charities Driven, which was most successful financially. April 23, witnessed the staging of three one-act Senate sponsored plays: HHis First Girln, UOrchids For Marian, and NLeave It To Joen. Under the guidance of Mr. Brumsted and Mr. Tanner, the faculty advisors, the members of the senate have tried to provide democratic leadership in all student activities of its school. For those who have been actively engaged in General Organization work whether as officers or Senate members,it has been wonderful training in Americanimn Not only the privileges, but the duties as well, of democratic living have been impressed on their minds. STUDENT COURT The l9h7-L8 school year has seen the judicial branch of our student gov- T ernment function smoothly under Chief Justice Carol Schreiber and her able associate justices,Norbert Borowski, Joan Manchester, William Jones and Kenneth Heller. The court is charged with determining the guilt and pun- ishment of students brought before it and accused of misdemeanors by monitors and bus captains. Donna George has been the able court clerk and Colin Gould has held the posi- tion of prosecuting attorney. The defendants choose their own counsel It is hoped that through this instnr ment of justice, better conduct will be promoted throughout the school.At l the same time a faith in fair treat- fee ment and a good will in accepting deserved punishment is an outcome striven for by all.

Needless to say such a variety of duties provides for these students rich experiences not only in routine office work but also in the development of qualities of lead- ership and responsibility. 39 EHUH 5 g Front 593: Hose Marie Monkelbaan, Patricia Mosher, Shirley Worthington, Elaine Keller, Marjorie Glaser, Mary Wood, Jean Draper, Joyce Kuhn, Betty Lou Glase.

At the beginning of each school year two students are appointed by the chief monitor to serve as bus captains on each bus. They assist the drivers in maintaining good conduct and they also help in the enforce- ment of all safety regulations. The bus captains are a most important part of our student monitor system and the service they render to the school is greatly appreciated by the Board of Education and the bus drivers. The respect shown the bus captains by most of the students testifies to the efficient and impartial manner in which they perform their duties. B 5 DRIVERS i SCHOOL Allen Montgomery, Boyd Wells, Stephen Custard, Medford Savage, Claire Tharnish, Lynn Knapp, Sheridan Geer, Melvin Bucknam. The position of bus driver is one of the most important positions in a central school. In a dis- trict like ours with its difficult hill routes and severe winters the position takes on even gnlnh er importance. We are indeed fortunate in having a group of drivers who are very capable and who are extremely conscientious in the performance of their duty. Our fine record in safety and efficiency in pupil transportation is largely due to the faithful men who have driven our buses.

Under a new scoring system with two points for a goal and one for a penalty kick, H.C.S. scored 31+ points. Holland's best games were against Woodlawn and North Collins. In non-league games Holland defeated Machias twice and tied and lost to Deveau Military Academy of Niagara Falls. In a final sectional game with Machias, Holland lost on a wet, muddy field. Outstanding players were Kenny Lingenfelter with eight goals, Bud Bohadlo and Raymond Edington with three each. On defense we had Norbert Bakowski, Clifford Rice, Norbert Borowski and Joseph Szulewski.

CHEER LEADERS NORB BILL Agnes Carter, Mary-Schreiber, Helen Reynolds, Mary Wood, Marjorie Piedmont, Alice Rosten. N The Senior cheerleaders were very active this year. They deserve praise for their enthusiastic cheering both at the games played away from home and the varsity ones played on the home court. This year the cheerleaders were chosen,after try-outs in assembly, by a committee of faculty mem- bers and students. The girls sponsored a movie and sold greeting cards to raise the money for their uniforms. Miss Fisher served as advisor for the group. 5 A8 UNIUH VARSITY front Egg: Duane Jacobs, Philip Darbee, LeRoy Lowe, Dqpald Heim.

They make available to all students the benefits of competitive athletics which only varsity team members were able to enjoy years ago. In order that both rural and village students may enjoy intramural athletics, the games are sched- uled during the midday activity period. Several teachers have assisted in supervising the games this year and older students have gained valuable experi- ence by acting as officials at the games.
