Text from Pages 1 - 104 of the 1966 volume:

The Senior Class Invites You To Explore the Todays of 1966 Through This Issue of The Vagabond. Hoosick Falls Central School Hoosick Falls, New York Volume 35 The Todays at HFCS Tomorrow is a very special day. It holds all expectations that may become realities. The person who lives in a world of fantasy hopes that tomorrow his dreams will come true. The realist hopes that the morrow will ease the hardships of life. Tomorrow, imagination is air and dreams are life. Tomorrow is today's hope and yesterday's shadow. Tomorrow is a babbling brook that only flows to the future. Yesterday is for memories. Many people try to make the past the present with flashbacks. To them today's dawn will always be yesterday’s twilight. Yesterday may be quiet and sweet as a baby’s sleep or it may be tragic and harsh as death. Yesterday was reality and will be remembered as such. Today is unexplored. Yesterday and tomorrow have a place in one's life hut today is the most important. If there weren't life today there wouldn't be any memories for tomorrow or dreams for tonight. Today is the most important day; yet it is the easiest to lose. People should live life for today's moments rather than yesterday's memories or tomorrow's dreams. We at Hoosick Falls Central School are presenting this year- book with the above statement in mind. The 1966 VAGABOND is a summary of the todays as they happen and the people who live them. - - Sally Busby Table of Contents Administration and Faculty page 5 Student Life page 15 Activities page 23 Sports page 43 Seniors page 79 Underclassmen page 59 4 ADMINISTRATION AND FACULTY “He is wise who can instruct us and assist us in the business of daily living. ” Carlyle The administration provides for the The Board of Education The Board of Education is comprised of elected officials who give freely of their time for supervising the school district.

The four letters at the base of the keystone represent scholarship, leadership, char- acter, and service. Candidates must have attained an average of 90 if a sophomore, 87 if a junior, and 85 if a senior. Senior class valedictorian G. Harri- son, salutatorian S. Davison, and third honor student B. Cipperly represent all the qualities of the society and have been members since their sophomore year. All members have been honored for what they have already accomplished and the promise they hold for the future. Seven members of the senior class were winners of New York State Regents Scholarships. G. Harri- son attained the highest exam score in Rensselaer County. S. Davison, B. Cipperly, R. Danforth, J. Richards, F. Carelli and T.

During April vacation 1965, the Hoosick Falls Central School Symphonic Band played three concerts at the New York State Pa- vilion at the World's Fair. Band members had leisure time for exploring the fair and despite the weather, a good time was had by all. PERCUSSION SECTION: J. Shaw, D. LeBarron, N. Nelson, C. Carelli, G. Harrison, and VV. Waterhouse. Senior The Symphonic Band is the largest and best prepared group in our school, composed of students in grades 9-12, and a few junior high students who qualify. The band plays in three annual con- certs, in winter and spring and at Christmas. Past members of the band play in the Christmas concert. The band also plays in occasional school assemblies and appears annually at NYSSMA and Tri-State competitions, winning top awards in the highest level music. Band Special field trips, such as the ap- pearance at the World's Fair last year, have been arranged. An exchange pro- gram with a Montreal high school has been planned. The band officers, President G. Hall; Vice-president W. Cottrell, Sec- retary S. Davison, and Treasurer W. Waterhouse have devised a point sys- tem for the awarding of prizes at the awards assembly.

They sang at the annual Christmas and spring concerts and also at various other school assemblies. In the spring the chorus was judged in NYSSMA competition and participated in the Tri-State Music Festival. Some chorus members had the opportunity to sing with choral students from other schools in All-County and All-State. During November the area All-State was held in our school with eleven members singing in the mass chorus while other chorus members acted as guides and helped play host to visiting schools. Next year the underclassmen, aided by new students from the Junior High Chorus, are looking forward to an equally successful year. Altos D. Harrison, H. Hayes, S. Stetson, P. Malo and D. Norton work hard to make their part perfect. Being a chorus member requires time and effort. In the extensive practice sessions patience is required of all, mindful of the goal of perfection. 29 Through junior music groups students are WOODWIND SECTION: ROW 1 -- K. Kovage, K. Robson, L.

Junior Band The Junior Band, composed of sixty-six members from grades seven and eight, is conducted by Mr. William Gaillard. This group, be- cause of excellent instrumenta- tion, talent, and spirit, has been able to perform music outside the realm of most Junior Bands. Their first appearance was made at the Christmas Concert which featured a sing along. After Christmas vacation, the band be- gan preparation for the annual Spring Concert and Competition, which took place in late spring be- fore professional judges. Today's preparation in music leads to a greater understanding and appreciation of instrumental literature, a career in music for some, and for others a beneficial means of using leisure time.

It is composed of seventy-five members of grades seven and eight who meet every Monday and Wednesday during noon hours. The difficulty and quality of the music sung by this group reflects their hard work. The group has made appearances at the Christmas Concert and annual Spring Concert. Along with the eight A English class, the chorus also put on the operetta, Tom Sawyer, which proved to be a great success. The purpose of the Junior Chorus is to train young people for future voice works in Senior Chorus and perhaps even a career in music. The student body listens attentively while Mr. Calvin Pederson announces the next number to be sung by the Junior Chorus during the annual Christmas Assembly. This is only one of the many public appearances the group makes throughout the year. EDITORS: B. Sausville (Editor-in- chief), D. Redden (Photography Editor), S. Busby (Associate Editor), S. Davison (Literary Editor), and T. Bowman (Associate Editor). Hard work, skill, and dedication Good and effective pictures are necessary for a good yearbook. Our photography editor, D. Redden, finds herself in a precarious situation as she prepares to snap a picture. The Vagabond The creation of the yearbook is a major project which involves many hours of hard work. The senior and junior staff members devote their seventh periods, study halls, and Saturdays before deadlines to the production of the book. They design pages, take pictures, and compose the captions, headlines and write-ups. The junior staff, in preparation for the production of their book, must learn many skills. Among these are the cropping of pictures and the designing of pages. The senior staff is mainly concerned with editing and the selection and develop- ment of the theme to be used throughout the book. The entire staff takes pride in producing the book which we hope represents the life at our school. 32 EDITORIAL STAFF: J. Arnold, B. Cipperly, Trea- surer; G. Squires, L. Cappel- lino, and T. Beckstein. TYPING STAFF: N. Taber, M. Bromirski, M. Schmigel, Head Typist; W. Sheffer, D. Harring- ton, and D. Wilson. result in a fine yearbook. THE JUNIOR STAFF has worked many hours in helping to produce the '66 Vagabond. Here D. Harrison, J. Goodrich, B. Bushey, N. Nelson, and H. Hayes select pictures and design pages to meet the next deadline. 33 Le Cercie Frangais Standing in front of Le Drapeau Franjais are the club offi- cers B. Bisson, S. Busby, S. Davison, and N. Nelson. Le Cercle Frangais, one of the most active groups in our school, helps to give the students who study French a broader understanding of France and its culture. Mrs. Jane Waltz, the advisor, and the club officers President S. Busby, Vice- president S. Davison, Secretary N. Nelson, and Treasurer B. Bisson along with their appointed committees have provided many interesting and educational meet- ings. The Bulletin Board Committee each month has provided attractive displays in pictures and words showing France’s people and their customs. The Program Committee has provided a variety of activities for the club members at their bi-weekly meetings. This committee deserves credit for the successful dance sponsored by the club and for the assembly program on the history and culture of France. Meetings are conducted “en frangais.” Each month members of the French Club design and arrange attractive bulletin board displays. B. Bisson J. Roys, and N. Nelson select the pictures for Christmas time. Many valuable acting techniques are learned by the members of the drama ensemble. Here, in character,, each musician plays his instrument. The first row is composed of violinist and flute players, the second row of clar net players, and the third row bass violinists. A spring play highlights the dramatic year. The members of the Drama Ensemble, composed of students in grades 7-12, learn basic dramatic skills. Given cer- tain circumstances by Mr. Paul Fink, in- structor, the members make-up improvisations, which are used to test the imagination of students as well as their ability to think quickly. The second half of the year is devoted mainly to backstage and on stage work. Backstage, students learn how to work the lighting system, to place furniture, other scenery, and props. A spring production is the highlight of the year for the drama ensemble. Mr. Maurice Beaulieu, advisor, Mr. Fink, and the drama members work together for fun and also to learn skills which may be applied to everyday life as well as drama. Mr. Paul Fink instructs L. Cappellino in walking gracefully while descending stairs. 35 Future Teachers of America During the past year the Hoosick Falls Chapter of the Future Teachers of Amer- ica has created interest not only within the group itself, but throughout the entire student body. Several projects were under- taken including a Christmas drive for the needy and a Christmas party for the spe- cial Class. Many of the members attended the Capital Area Future Teachers Con- vention held at Bethlehem Central School. Among them were, L. Cappellino, Presi- dent; J. Goodrich, Vice-President; D. Miller, Recording Secretary; B. Sausville, Corresponding Secretary; T. Moore, Treasurer; and E. Sprague, Historian. Recently the organization established a point system under which the members are expected to spend time working with a teacher and observing. Through this system the members hope to gain a better understanding of the word Teacher. President L. Cappellino conducts the Future Teachers' meeting. Corresponding Secretary, B. Sausville, takes the roll. Students learn teaching fundamentals E. Sprague and P. Nash listen attentively to the plans for the annual Christmas party given by FTA for the special class. E. Therriault, P. Wilson, Mr. R. Michael Brewster and A. Niles, attend a convention of the Capital Area Future Teachers Association at Bethleham Central. There they attended workshops and listened to speakers discussing teaching methods. 36 The officers of the Library Club examine literature, other than books, which the club also has in abundance. G. Cornell, N. Taber, and E. Sprague read a newspaper, which is included with magazines in the library, to help keep students and teachers informed on current events. Checking books in and replacing the cards in them are important parts of the Library Club. Here L. Ingraham and A. Ogert are replacing a card in a book to be returned to the shelf. Knowledge is gained through library skills. The advisor of the club, Mrs. Eleanor Kelly, works closely with the girls to help them develop library skills. Mrs. Kelly is showing C. Baldwin and A. Ogert the qualities of a particular book. Library Club Library Club officers this year were N. Taber, President; G. Cornell, Vice President; E. Sprague, Secretary- Treasurer. This year the Library Club is working in the service of the sixth grade because there is no library in the elementary section. The students use the Dewey Decimal System in categorizing the library books on the shelves. Mrs. Kelly, the advisor, takes great pride in the fact that the Library Club is the oldest club in con- tinuous service at Hoosick Falls Central School. The Christmas spirit was enhanced Seniors spent the morning of December 30th deco- rating the cafeteria for that evening. G. Squires hangs one of the gigantic wreaths which created a very pleasing affect. The annual Winter Ball, presented by the class of 1966 was held during our Christmas vacation on December 30, 1965. The dance committee, headed by S. Harrington and D. Scott and advised by Mrs. Nancy Von Haggin, was Christmas inspired as they decorated the cafeteria with gigantic wreaths, a pine-filled sleigh and a gayly adorned Christmas tree. Couples danced or sat around small tables talking and enjoying the mu- sic provided by the Paul Kreigcr Or- chestra which enhanced the mood with holiday music. Punch and Christmas cookies were served throughout the evening. Mr. Maurice Beaulieu took colored pictures of couples against the background of dense evergreens and mistletoe. The Seniors devoted much time and ef- fort into making their Winter Ball a suc- cess and enjoyable for everyone. Senior girls made center pieces for the tables surround- ing the dance floor. D. Harrington and B. Cipperly are making snowmen from styro-foam for the center pieces. Serving punch and Christmas cookies is Mrs. Nancy VonHaggin, who aided seniors in preparing for their dance. We would like to take this opportunity to thank her for all of her time and effort. 38 by the traditional Winter Ball Head of the decoration committee D. Scott dis- cusses the results of his hard work with his date S. Davison. P. Moore and C. Rowland appreciate the music provided by the Paul Kreiger Orchestra. While sitting out a dance, F. Eldrcd and C. Frazier enjoy re- freshments and a moment for conversation. 39 V% v iAV« On the morning of the Prom students worked quickly and efficiently to transform our cafeteria into a Parisian sidewalk cafe. Here S. Harrington arranges one of the many place settings in preparation for the 160 students who were to dine there that evening. An Eiffel Tower, Parisian street scene, and a bridge over the River Seine were the main features of Parisian Promenade. Working on one of the flower boxes to be used in the street scene are M. Schmigel and D. Wilson. Much preparation and hard work created 1965 Queen B. Sausville with her court and their escorts; S. Davison, D. Scott, D. Bingham, D. Hansclman, D. Harrington H Cipperly, F.

Standing in front of the Queen and her court are the flower bearers T. Andrew, J. Kipp, T. Kovage. 40 The highlight of the Junior Prom was the Grand March led by E. Peckham, W. Ingram, H. Hayes, T. Beck- stcin, B. Sausville, W. Highfield, D. Markicwicz and R. Marani. La Promenade Parisienne The culmination of much hard work by the Juniors was reached June 9, 1965. Couples passed under the Arc de Triumphe into the heart of Paris. The music of the Dave Jarvis Orchestra drifted over the crowded street as couples danced in the shadows of the Eiffel Tower. The highlight of the evening was the coronation of queen Barbara Sausville and presentation of the court followed by, the Grand March led by Junior and Senior class officers. At midnight refreshments were served in the cafe- teria which had been transformed into a sidewalk cafe complete with French waitresses. The class of '66 would like to take this opportunity to thank the many people who helped us put on a success- ful prom, but most of all we would like to express our gratitude to Miss Charlotte Hulihan without whom our prom would not have been possible. After the prom man)' couples visited the French cafe. Here J. Gavagan and R. Armitage wait in line for refreshments for their dates. 41 Members develop an interest in literature. Junior Library Club The Junior Library Club under the guidance of Mr. Myron Hertel has spent many useful hours in the library. They have not only learned the fundamental library principles, but have also ac- quired a deep appreciation for the realm of literature. Most members will continue their interest through the Senior Library Club. Junior Library Club members learn how to utilize the facilities in the library, such as the card catalogue, the check-out system, and the card file. Here J. Stetson, S. Brandalik, and C. Shapiro make use of the card catalogue. The members of the Junior Library Club work in both the Senior and Junior high school libraries, assisting the librarian in the many tasks involved in operating a smooth running library. J. Brenen- stuhl, A. Brust, and W. Brown use their knowl- edge of the Dewey Decimal System in replacing books. Through their work in the club mem- bers come to appreciate more the value of books. M. Miller, A. Peterson, M. Frazier, L. Cornell and S. Surdam compare books which they have read and enjoyed. 42 SPORTS The varsity club promotes school spirit. Varsity Club Members: C. Hall, F. Thomas, B. Lingner, R. Dowling, and R. Ingraham receive instructions for ushering at home basketball games. Varsity Club Autumn brings many new experiences and opportunities. A new addition to our avide range of organizations made its en- trance this fall, with the establishment of the Varsity Club. Membership is restricted to those boys who have earned a letter by participation in one or more varsity sports. Under the direction of Mr. Anthony Turi, the boys launched the season with the election of officers, then laid down plans for the oncoming year. Such plans were made keeping their basic purpose in mind, which is to pro- mote good sportsmanship, school spirit, encourage participation in athletics, and to work with other organizations to ad- vance various school activities. Although not a money-making organization, the club has held several dances to aid them in their work with other such clubs. These boys have also served as ushers at numerous sports events. Next year the members are looking forward to an even better and more successful season. Club president John Arnold conducts a meeting of the Varsity Club early in the year. Mr. Turi, the club advisor, aids John and the club members to fulfill their projects. 44 The Hoosiers are 1965 league champions. STANDING: Mr. D. Roy, J. Winne, L. Kessler, T. Chapman, F. Keyes, S.

Because of his work and enthusiasm, our team fought long and hard to come up with the necessary ability and skill to make this year a champion ship year. Although losing to Corinth in the Class C Sectionals, the team carried on the Hoosier tradition of fine ball playing and good sportsmanship. 4S Extra effort is a prime ingredient which goes into manages to gain precious yardage despite being the winning of ball games. Here a Hoosier still tackled by several fierce opponents. Football requires preparation, practice, Cheerleading is only one of the many ways students express their enthusiasm for the boys efforts. N. Steller and D. Harrison are shown rousing our boys on to victory in the form of a precision cheer. Watching the game from a high perch is J. Arnold, star half- back who was eliminated from competition early in the sea- son when his leg was broken during the Cambridge game. Senior J. Arnold has been a varsity football player since his freshman year. 46 Hoosier Football The Hoosiers met the football sea- son of 1965 with great anticipation. They were defeated in their first games but were able to come back in good spirit to win four out of their last five battles. When you get into the heart of a tree the chopping becomes much harder. Our 1965 squad proved this. By the end of the season, our team showed a hard core of players who desired winning games and who were willing to sacrifice and put forth that extra effort in order to win. Our players certainly deserve commenda- tion for the about-face they made. Their courage and assiduous toil which characterized the team in the latter season, sparked the Hoosiers onto victory. Our team pioneered an entirely new offensive and defensive system in our Washington County Football League. The changeover took time, patience, and team work. Our fine coaching staff combined with the potential material should make an exciting football season next year. timing, skill, and a desire to win. A successful football team depends largely upon the effort and perseverance of its members. Win- ning is not simply a matter of possessing the ball and running, but rather incorporating many indi vidual skills. Here C. Pitt utilizes a method of dodging a tackier.

Long hours of practice combined with perseverance were rewarded by a second place position in the Washington County League and the Section II Class C championship. The team obtained an overall record of 11-3. Their only losses were to class A powerhouse and Suburban Council champion Columbia High and unde- feated Cambridge Central, Washington County League champion. In addition to regular league competition, the boys also participated in a Christmas tournament at Mechanicville, where they received a second place trophy in an eight team competition. In mid-February a county tournament was held at Cambridge where the team again received a second place trophy. Losing only three members through graduation, next year's team should have a very successful season. Combined efforts of team and coach WRESTLING SQUAD: ROW 1 — W. Miller, R. Hudson, L. Andrew, F.

Coached by Mr. Kenneth Slonis, the team came on strong at the end of the season making a bid for the league championship by defeating all of the teams which had beaten us earlier in the league campaign. Four members of the team scored regularly in double figures led by G. Starr and W . Waterhouse whose averages were near 20 points a game. Balanced by a solid scoring attack, the team was led defen- sively by the rebounding of G. Starr, W. Sheffer, and F. Carelli. T. Beckstein and D. Wysocki shared in setting up the defen- sive and offensive plays during the season and were responsible for many exciting moments. Four members of the starting five G: Starr, W. Waterhouse, T. Beckstein, and F. Carelli will be graduating this year and are to be congratulated for a job well done. place in the Washington County League. , ! sJr In a tight game with undefeated Hoosic Valley every basket counted. Breaking through a tough defense, W. Waterhouse raises the score two more points, leading the Hoosiers on to victory. Highest scorer in the Washington County League, C. Starr displays the skill necessary to maintain this position. During the exciting Salem game the crowd cheers as George sinks the ball. The annual Christmas Tournament at Mechanicville provides the Hoosiers with an opportunity to test their ability against larger city schools. Throughout the tournament, the cheerleaders led the crowd in cheers and added that bit of enthusiasm which sparked the boys on to a second place title. 53 Varsity cheerleaders D. Harrison, L.

JV Basketball The 1965-66 Hoosier JV basketball squad was made up completely of in- experienced freshmen. Although they did not win many games, these boys learned to play together and showed much promise for the future. Coach Turi's squad ended the season with a 4 and 12 record. By the end of the season the boys were playing a much better game of basketball and are look- ing forward to next year's campaign. After pulling in a rebound, T.

Look to this day! For it is life, the very life of life In its brief course lie all the verities and realities of your existence: The Bliss of growth, The glory of action. The Splendor of Beauty. For yesterday is but a dream. And tomorrow is only a vision; But today well lived makes every yesterday a dream of happiness. And every tomorrow a vision of hope. Look well, therefore, to this day! Such is the salutation of the dawn. — Sanskrit — MLA— r- %grW- - . - • - � .«.JM •� '• w ay - «•.� � . ’ .a. . r+£ ? s W , JU-. r .v - — _ -j-—,'— — • ■- � v� 'sr ..lluV.� - V «- r s « k- • 1 1 — .. ■ • • % . - ■ .« • __ - — — ' •« • — — ■-▼«■'rr — — — “ Z .� - -T- — — - - - f.L, • - . -—'. _ --- .
