We could not possibly include everything we have done in our past but we feel we have recorded our most important events. Everything you see or read in this book has a personal meaning to each member of the class of 50.,, Since l937 we have had many adventures. The last four years have been especially mean- ingful to us and have brought us closer together. We want our scrapbook to be one of memories, one which pays tribute to those who have helped us and shared our troubles and joys. ln the following pages you will see the record of the Class of 1950. We hope you will enjoy reading it as much as we enjoyed making it. L21 Y fr '06 Z..:,.z1.Q'D..:ze J . My' jywafhm' 6.

Daily The Board of Eflucation is one good reason we have been able to collect such interesting data for our hook. Although we didnit have too much association with them personally. we realize that without their backing our school life wouldn't be the same. Through their work to centralize we have inet many new friends: and. now, other classes look forward to going to a beautiful. modern school. We owe the Board of Education a big thanks for everything we have had and for the big future to which the others are looking. For these reasons we think they belong in the front of our llllllk.

We also remember Frances Kinsbury taking poor little Bob Riehlman's trucks away from him while playing in the sand box. Betty Coon and Sookie Peek were developing their artistic talent by slopping paint on each other's papers. Rodney Bush, Bob Briggs, Doris Wingenbach and Jeanine Hess were often seen playing Three Billy Goats Gruliif, Gary Hartquist, playing the part of the dog in the game, Dog and Bone, closed his eyes tight as Mary Lit- tle, Dave Signor, Malcolm Morgan, and Vivian Gower held their breath while Bobbie Cox tried to sneak up and grab the bone. The next year under the supervision of Mrs. Fisher and with the help of Morris Peck, who joined us in that year, we built a choo-choo train out of an old barrel. We also took an exciting! ride clear to Cortland on a real train. In second grade, we put on the '6Minuet,' for the Parent Teachers and for our own enjoyment. Mrs. Maine helped us make some cottage cheese. Later in the year we were joined by Joyce and Gerald Phillips. In third grade, the voice of our class was greatly enriched fmuch to the distress of Miss Stevens! by Faye Nelson who left Pennsylvania to join us. I Gloria Fairbanks and our All American Boy, George Armstrong, joined us in fourth grade when the mice were causing Miss Judge a lot of trouble by playing hide and seek on the chalk tray. In lifth grade our class increased as Joyce Thornton, and Leona and Roger Brown came to walk the halls of old Homer Academy with us and Mrs. Merrill.'The sixth grade brought Betty Burke and Roger Newman to our fold with Mrs. Smith as our guiding star. ln our seventh year, Carl Stone, Ken McConnell, Lola Reynolds and Rose Monty came to share our bad luck when the school burned and we were put into the Methodist Church to continue our studies. The next year, as we were getting settled in the high school building, Alvin Ames, George All- cock, Ed Fichtner, Bette Leickert, Wayland Mead, Frank Albro, Don Vaber, Don Rockwell, Larry Niswender, Joan Sadauskas and Joan Schenck added to our crowded conditions. As we passed the eighth grade regents we went on to a new and exciting life in high school. fcontinued on page 421 T 15 J fo? 3- j f' 5.-4,6325 Zubdll BSE OF V 6 4, . rap , 6.v4w7'fMI0 730 'V 5 J 43.

Burgett The Juniors were our best buddies. We shared many a joke, especially with Bob Leach and Jim Jeffery. In November they held that fascinating dance called Dreamers Holiday , with lots of but- terfiies and clouds. You could always find Bill Lindburg, Brud Gorman, W'illie Miller, Don Morris, Bill Randall and John Miller practicing basketball in the gym or on the outdoor court. They finally selected their class ring, and they have been showing them off ever since. Study hall was their hang- out much to Miss Lewis, and Miss Cook's dismay. Don Van Liew's desk was the center of attraction for Allen Tuttle, Jerry Stoker, Tom Bell and Carl Leach when they had some news to tell. Jean Lon- ergan and Velma McEvoy were always having trouble keeping their books on the desk instead of the floor. In the spring, Janet Wilkins put her head together with the rest of the class and came out with a great idea for the Junior Prom. We will always remember the dreamy sendoff they gave us with that beautiful Prom. t 13 J nf ssgpfsaw Zwm ggm WSE O.

Although some were inclined to he talkative like Laura Rumsey, Helene Bentley and Janet Farnham, they could also be sophisticated-Ella Brown, Pat Whitney, Beverly Cook, Jean Mil- ler, and Phyllis McConnell for instance. The whole class pitched in to present their fall dance called Autumn Spree. which hoasted a graveyard as part of the decorations. We can't forget that red hair of Barry Ward, and the way that Lawrence Ayres, Bernard Bacon, Dale Bell, Robert Allcock. Arthur lfoster and Darrell Henderson inhaled their lunches in study hall at the noon hour. The girls interclass team was really great, especially with Jane Whiteman, Jane Schenck, Coralee Bricker and Barbara Tinkham hacking the team. They were so good they nearly heat the seniors! As for hrains. Virginia Paquette had enough to graduate the whole class, plus enough personality to make us remem- her her as a wonderful girl.

For poor green freshmen they established themselves very quickly in the halls of Homer Central. Who could forget Richard Colemanis white sneaks and rolled up pant legs, Barbara Mastersonis smiling Nhellowg James Russell, the typical Frosh, brush cut and all, Roxanne Westis rosy complexion, the curly hair of Joan Greeng the bud- dies, Melvin Brown and Richard Colemang those muscle bound paper boys, Roy Monroe and Earnest Linterng our high school,s Van Johnson, alias Ronald Greene? They didnit put on their dance until March but it was worth waiting for. We had a wonderful time. This class had two sets of twins. One set is still trying to figure out whois who. ls it Mary Tinkham or is it Margaret Tinkham? Other memories that we will always keep of the 4'Frosh,' are of the buddies, John Held and Edward Bow- man, that shining black hair of Joan Lindsay: Ken Radellg the voice of Betty Buchanan, and lucky Billy Pierce who had a brother in the Senior Class fenough saidflg and last, but not least, bashful Bill Schenck. All in all the whole freshman class were great sports. E201 66 'rv gqbfp -TTA use OF 9 J fm!! JT Ajay 9 pn Q Cf- I .93 D J G, ., is Fmt SA Ll. 1 7 C, 'LIS' Turns Q 34 'S-Geist.

' llartquist Student Council was the governing body of the school. A lmoy and girl from each class was elected to the council. This year Jeanine Hess and Eddie Fichtner represented the seniors, Karen Anderson and Joe Burgett the juniors, Jane Schenck and Berry Ward the sophomores. Ronald Greene and Judith Wilkins the freshmen, Betty Bush and Francis Austin the eighth grade, and Connie Burns and James Allen the seventh grade. Wlhen things go wrong the council met and tried to find a better way for student government to run. They always put on the first social event of the year, the annual Organization Dance, at which the class officers for the following year are announced. The traffic patrol was the police force, in other words, 'Lthe Copsfi They kept order in the halls. Everywhere you went they were there, waiting and watching. We decided that Joe Burgett and Bob Riehlman had to do less work than anyone. With the build they had, all you had to do was look at them and you thought twice hefore running down the halls. Mr. Herney kept them on their toes hy changing posts every two weeks. Every morning and noon you would see Frances Kingsbury, Cap- tain. checking to see if everyone was on his post. They did a good job, for, without them checking on noises and people who had to skip stairs, the halls would have been bedlam between classes, F wwe. 7f,.n,..4t0'n.:tt iM,v0'J,gLf15 4 'Jfg 'T071 fill i gl J ,449 Q53 ASE QF y o ,,, SQ 05,1 + l 1 A ' E r rn f OR nr NA Um 'af lfirxt Rout K.

Every Monday and Thursday in the kindergarten rooms at 3:15 you could hear them practicing. Over and over they would practice until they sounded nearly as good as Fred Waring's Glee Club. At Christmas time they sang carols for the Christmas Assembly. Every spring they Serenade the whole town with a concert. Linder Miss Whitborneis directions, the chorus had grown better and better. After practice, everyone in chorus would drift back to school singing excerpts from the music they had just practiced. The favorite seemed to be How Much Wood Could a Woodchuck Chuck?'7 The chorus kept the halls of Homer Central humminel L 26 J I ob Oiiiuifl, ' f 73 ,E fa? gtzsgpwaftom 2 All- OS 5 WSE O.

Durkee This year the band gained a new director, Mr. Roberts. We have all come to know Mr. Roberts well since he first entered Homer Central. The band is not an exclusive High School activity, in fact, there are more grade students than high school people in the organization. It was a familiar sight to see the music students going to the bowling alley for their lessons. On Wednesday and Friday during eighth periods, music would emerge from the gym where the band practiced. At the Christmas Assem- bly, a brass quartet played a few carols: John Folmer and Betty Buchanan played the trumpet, Don Van Liew and Dale Stoker played their coronets. They proved that the band was on the way to success. This year the band brought more and better music to Homer Central. tm fn? .3 ,, f' ef., Zan omit O, if gg, .wfwfwgfw . -1 42133 ug, 5, C552 V 0 .

They invited all the former Tri-Y members from 1947 to 1950 to a good old-fashioned get-together. lt was some party with all those girls comparing notes on what they did at meetings! It was good to see old friends. This year's Tri-Y had a lot of fun on their own too. They started off with the informal initiation which provided some good laughs for the old members but sore parts for the new ones. The formal ini- tiation, which was very beautiful, made up for the first one. The old members also took their sisters to a spaghetti supper. By this time they were good friends again. For a project this year, the girls put on a program for the Old Ladies Home which depicted the changes in the past 50 years. They also collected money tag day for the Leisure Hour Library fund. Tri-Y entertained the whole school by sponsoring a mixer. But we think they had the most fun playing basketball even though they usually ended up giving Miss Aldous a sore arm until the next game. The Tri-V held their meetings on Thursday nights with Cary Hartquist beating the gavel and Mr. Kline backing him up. After the meetings they made a mad dash for the basketball court or the tumbling mat. Why no one was ever hurt in the bedlam we'll never know. They held an informal initiation which we heard was no joy ride. Everyone survived and was present for the formal initiation that was held the same evening as the Tri-Y's. After their separate initiations they had a dance. Around Christmas time they threw a big Christmas party. The tree was really beautiful but the present were on the dizzy side, but, even so, everyone had a good time. They also held a mixer to raise money and entertain us. Each member had to get rid of five tickets and everyonein high school ducked when they saw a Tri-V member coming. They also collected money for the Library fund on Tag Day. T281 jf Q N 2.2.1. am .

They started the year oll with a hang. They held illl informal nntiation and then. to make up for that, a very lovely formal one. Ihr- most fun we had had in a long time eame when they gave their square clanee. We daneed and laughed ourselves silly that night. After The l .l'l.A. girls also managed to get a day oll from school. Their excuse was a visit to General lfleetrie Park. Syraeuse. 'lihere they got a general idea of what goes on he-hind that kind of work. It was a laniiliar sight to see Mrs. llergren talking to I .H.A. memhers in lirst period study hall. At their meetings the girls learned more ahout themselves and homeniaking in general. ln the horne- making rooms they kept a map on the wall of the Homer Central Sehool distriet. lfeaeh niemher was represented hy a pin on that map. 1 :zu 1 .3 ,Of 4,-4, 2054.14 OF .

Its main object was to present a three-act play an- nually. This year they put on a comedy called Jumping Jupiterf, It was everything its title implies. Mary Little, Marilyn Wright and Karen Anderson played three young girls trying to crash Broadway. They found S50,000, 'Shotw money, and the trouble they ran into trying to get rid of it was a riot. Van Pierce was a musical comedy playwright. Mary Rice the ever-present landlady, Gerry Cox proved what a lot of people had been thinking as the astrologist who wasnit quite all there, Jeanine Hess made us laugh as the poor maid who couldnit clean. Bob Allen made the girls swoon with his 'SHappy Birth- day , Bobbie Cox frightened us all as the Police woman, and Joe Burgett left them sighing as baby- face Ben, Dot Rolls was a riot as the crazy first-aid fanatic, and Jean Lonergan has everyone feeling sorry for her as the kidnapped victim. Thanks to Mr. Baldwin who managed to leave some hair on his head, it was a big success. Gary Hartquist could often be seen scratching his head trying to find out some way to make the set come out right. It became a common sound to hear the hammering and sawing of the set crew. As play time grew near the props committee came to school with all sorts of strange items from Hat irons to clothes line. The make-up committee had fun making everybody somebody else. We really got a kick out of Jumping Jupiterf' f 30 J fi? 43' t, 4' fha? 5 CASE OF V ,t.,, .zt3 , fZ...,-'af 71 ' V .1 -9 4 'N Mig A 'i Ylilpy IV w -n.

Niswender, J. Cox, J. Jeffery, E. Wal- son, W. Mead ln 1949 the News changed its name to the Press Club. That surely made them sound much more business like! The paper still remained the Homer Central News. lt came out once a month and we're sure we don't know how they did it. The staff would work late at night to be sure our paper would come out on time. This fall Frances Kingsbury, Mary Little and Gerry Cox went to Syracuse to a statewide high school newspaper conference at Syracuse University. The brought home many new ideas which made the News bigger and better. We never really got used to having someone asking us our opinion on this and that but it was fun to read our answers in the paper. Everyone felt like a celebrity when his name appeared in print. The typing staff really had a big job and they worked hard at it. Miss Haak took care of the typing and business end of the news while Mrs. Spencer reviewed all literary materials. The News was an asset for it kept us up-to-date on school affairs. It also gave many of us a chance to express and reveal hidden talents. H11 . - . . no fn? is ,nf irq? Zfwta ggaze CRS?

As a result of this they were tied for first place with McGraw who lost its only two games to Homer. Then came a thrilling playoff game in which McGraw nosed out the Blue and White by a score of 8-7, making its winning run in the last inning. Horner had one other win and a defeat which were to Cortland but both were non-league games. Thus the season ended with a record of nine wins and four losses.

In the first half of the league games, Homer was defeated by Marathon and Cincinnatus. In the second half they caught fire. They used a full court press and won the rest of their league games. They could not get another crack at Marathon, who lost its only game to Homer, or they would have captured first place. In the non-league games Homer won over King Ferry, Cortland, Tully, and Central Square. They were defeated only by Owego and Norwich. Thus the Homer squad ended up its season with a record of thirteen wins and five losses. In the playoffs the Blue and White defeated Cincinnatus 41 to 30 and then went on to nose out Marathon and Virgil 30 to 38 and 33 to 32 respectively. Then they played Groton and were defeated by a score of 55 to 28. Willie Miller was the spark plug of the year, hitting for 272 points followed by Bill Lindburg with 101, Brud Gorman with 99, John Riter with 85 and Bob Riehlman with 50. The scores were as follows: Homer 55-King Ferry 44 Homer 34-Virgil 23 Homer 37-Cortland 27 Homer 21-Truxton 29 Homer 32-Marathon 42 Homer 39-Marathon 29 Homer 44-Tully 30 Homer 43-Norwich 51 Homer 33-Owego 38 Homer 58-McGraw 45 Homer 41-McGraw 29 Homer 61-Cincinnatus 51 Homer 31-Cincinnatus 36 Homer 44--Virgil 21 Homer 61-Central Square 5 Homer 54-Cortland 45 Homer 42-Owego 43 Homer 51-Truxton 24 PLAYOFFS: Homer 41-Cincinnatus 30 Homer 33-Virgil 32 ' Homer 30-Marathon 38 Homer 28-Groton 55 The J. V. squad ended in third place with a record of 10 wins and 4 losses, having trouble only with Marathon and Cincinnatus. They couldn't seem to beat them. The main cause of this was that Marathan and Cincinnatus seemed to have all the height. In the first game with Marathon, Homer was defeated by a score of 31 to 22. In the second game Homer gave them a battle but Marathon nosed them out 31 to 30. Both games with Cincinnatus were battles but Cincinnatus pulled through both times to defeat the Blue and White 42 to 40 and 43 to 39. The Home J. V.'s won over Owego, Central Square and Cortland in their non-league games. Wemadehacdc Homer Central's cinder path and field performers really went to town in 1948-49. In the first meet Homer nosed out Cortland by a score of 4825 to 46215. Homer grabbed seven first places to Cort- land's four. Homer had two triangular meetsg one with Norwich and Windsor, the other with Cincinnatus and McGraw. Although the Homer tracksters finished last as a team in the meet with Norwich and Windsor, they captured three first places, two second places, one third and three fourth places. In the meet with Cincinnatus and McGraw, Homer took eight first places out of eleven with Cincinnatus and McGraw, and tied for the ninth to win the meet easily. Homer won the annual County Track Meet held at Randall Field for the fifth straight year. Homer scored 67M2 points, followed by Marathon Central with 3126, Cincinnatus Central with 2224, McGraw High with 18, Truxton with 18, and Virgil with 6LQ. George Foster and Joe Burgett both broke their last year,s record in the 440 and shot put respectively. In the section IV Championship Meet at Oneonta, Joe Burgett took first place in the shot put, Bob Harter took first place in the broad jump and Gary Hartquist took third in the 880 to qualify them to run in the meet at Schoellkopf Field in Ithaca.

Schenck, B. Booth The cheerleaders were as important as the team to many. We admit they were much prettier. This year both J. V. and varsity cheerleaders had new uniforms. They were really beautiful so there was good reason for our team to win a lot of games. As soon as the J. V. Cheerleaders were picked they went to work learning old cheers and mak- ing up new ones. Together the Varsity and J. V. worked up some new cheers for between the games dur- ing basketball season. At least once a week you would hear the girls practicing either in the gym or in the hall. It wasnit an unusual sight to see Margaret Durkee, Pat Schenck, Velma McEvoy or Karin An- derson swinging down the hall practicing the motions to a new cheer. Two new Cheerleaders were added this year, one to the J.V. squad and one to the Varsity. Little Barbara Booth became the J. Vfs new cheerleader and she soon became the most popular cheerleader of all. The other member added wasn't really a cheerleader but rather a mascot. It was Pepper, a cock- er spaniel. The whole squad worked hard and brought us to a cheering end. E331 1 5' wi-K i L4 4 Qlww MSW MW, i' -E s 3 , if H 5 ,ff ,KW 30 , Q, i f L, . xg .

This year we experienced our hrst wor- ries of holding our class dance, the 4'Autumn Serenadef, Following the invasion from Cortland High, in our Sophomore year, bringing Carol Congdon and Van Pierce, lVlarylin Hood and Alfred left us. Then Bob Bowker and Ruth Dellow decided to see what Homer was like. With their help and under the guidance of Miss Browning, we held two class dances this yearg the spookey uCoblin Soireeu and the beautiful g'April Showers. After the Mjunior Jumpf' our class dance of that year, we were very busy in preparation for our Junior Prom, lfnderwater Fantasyf, and helping the 749 seniors graduate. Alfred Reagan returned this year to help us finish high school. Then along came September of '49, our last year of school was beginning. Helen Randall be- came one of our classmates this year and Marylin Rood had decided that Homer was much better than Brooklyn so she returned. Our big social event of this year was our Senior Ball, MStairway to the Stars. The Senior Parents as well as the Seniors worked very hard this last year to raise money enough for a senior trip to Washington. AUTOGRAPHS: H21 AY 65?
