'JV linrewnrd Mirror, Mirror on the W all, Show us the fairest days of all. These lines set the theme for the 1953 i'Mirror,, of Ilion High School. Looking into the Mirror , we see memorable pictures of our Senior year, the big events, and the average daily routine. Will any Senior forget the thrill and frenzy of class games . . . the excitement and pride of Sen- ior Play night . . . the frantic bustle of Home Room 13 when a deadline nears . . . the passing of pic- tures and cards to friends . . . the growing tension and lost feeling of graduation. Memories of an average school day persist: Miss Gordon collecting write-ins . . . a groan of protest when an unexpected assembly is announced . . . the unanimous cheer when it is announced that a teacher's classes will not meet . . . desperate inde- cision over your future . . . heart-in-stomach anxiety before an exam . . . Seniors and friends signing yearbooks. What about the Big Events? The time you wore your first corsage and formal evening gown to the Ball . . . the informal Friday and Saturday night dances . . . the friendly enmity and excite- ment of the Herkimer-Ilion game. Informal pictures and copy in the Mirror remind you of these irrevocable moments, aid you in storing them in the treasury of your mind. ffrf '1' ' Mr. Arthur Coons, director of physical ed- ucation, for his honest interest in children . . . for his hard work in boys, intramurals, freshman football, gym, wrestling, tumbling, track, cross- country and square dancing . . . for his rough ex- terior concealing a heart of gold . . . for working constantly-even on holidays . . . for promoting one of the largest athletic programs in any school in the state. Dedication The Class of 1953 dedicates the Mirror to: Mrs. Esther Davis, public-speaking teacher in the Ilion schools, for her everlasting patience as our class adviser . . . for her winning smile . . . for her skilled direction of our dramatic endeavors . . . for her constant activity . . . for her willingness to help anyone with his problems . . . for her de- voted work in speech correction . . . and, yes, even for her Mamie,' bangs.

Although this or- ganization is important in the adminis- tration of the school, it keeps in the back- ground. Members of the Board are interested men and women, willing to take on re- sponsibility for the education of the child- ren in the community. Doctor E. P. Watkin, the superinten- dent of llion schools, is the representative of the Board of Education. Standing, Left to Right: Mr. William Hughes, Mr. Earl Walkin, Mr. Kenneth Edgett.

Mr. Baker, a firm disciplinarian, is an amic- able, hardworking principal with a sense of humor and high ideals of good sportsmanship. Mr. Baker is assisted by the new vice-princi- pal and guidance director, Richard Everhart. This young man has the hard task of guiding students to wise decisions concerning their future. plus helping to manage school affairs. F Another Senior Class leaves the halls and classrooms of l. H. S. Before we leave, let's take another look at these familiar scenes as reflected in the Mirror of Memory, and remember just one typi- cal day out of many throughout these past few years. Eustmlialls These early birds on our maintenance staff are always on the job, keeping the home fires burning while winter winds blow. The Schnnl lla 1 . 'it' V: Left to Right: Mr. Smith, Mrs. Fitzpatrick, Mrs. Meehan. Arriving promptly every morning with a carload of faculty members, Mrs. Fitz- patrick has proved to be of vital import- ance to some classes scheduled in the morning. These three English teachers are grateful to her little black Studebaker and its ability to climb hills each moming. Math Blass Can you find the polar triangles on this sphere?

N ,AM DRIVING Driving is fast becoming one of the most popular courses ever offered in Ilion High. To accommodate the ever-increas- ing number of students interested in driver' education, classes have been scheduled during periods never before utilized for this. Mr. Dopp's quiet patience is to be envied. Left to Right: I. Bracken, R. Smithson, L. Thi- bault, M. DeRocco, M. Palmer, R. Morton, D. Fabian, Mr. Shattuck. .- SIIIENIII-I Our busybody Mirror over- looks nothing. Here we see a typ- ical science class at work under Mrs. Wilcox's capable guidance. This group is busily engaged in the fascinating task of making oxygen. In this room, more than one struggling young future scien- tist has been aided on toward higher goals in the world of science. Left to Right: C. Nile, J. Hughes, V. Hall, R. Fager, I. Remis, D. Abeling, Mrs. Wilcox, S. Metz, D. Bennett. umuuu rl,- Lejt to Right: Mr. Dopp, L. Urtz, B. Thomas, B.

FACULTY We owe much credit to our health staH. Each year they see each of us personally to check teeth and general fitness. Many times we'd like to cut these classes, but we still enjoy the activities we share in gym. Left to Right: E. Smith, E. Prince, N. Donahue, M. Marine, F. Crizzuto, J. Williams. Wllllll SHUP Looking into Room 5, the Mirror reflects Mr. Williams' Wood Shop class busy at work. These boys are preparing for their future by assuring themselves of some education and experience in carp- entry and shop. il Left to Right: Mr. Leo Grygiel, Mr. Joseph Sorge, Miss Jane McKennan, Mr. Arthur Coons. EHUHTHAND Ever seen a keyhole in a window? As we peek into Room 19, we see these girls busily preparing to work for a handsome boss and a fat salary in the future. J. Hoffman, Mr. Williams, B.

FACULTY Just before classes begin, we find students in the halls talking, but look, here are a few members of the faculty enjoying themselves. They are not alone, for the guiding hand of Mr. Prindle is ever with them. As each day rolls by, his spirit is in every classroom and the heart of every student who knew him. After lunch, the students go to noon-hour ac- tivity or the library. Every noon hour, members of the faculty alternate in quieting down the students, but they are a little more lenient with them than during regular class time. E91 EAFETEHIA As the Mirror introduces the staff that pre- pares the delicious noon meals in the cafeteria, we note that the name Murphy is mentioned three times. Mrs. Murphy and Mrs. Abbott prepare the meals, and the other two Murphys and Mr. Dopp carry out the other duties involved. That meal sure looks good, doesn't it? No wonder so many students stay for lunch every day. No one minds staying for lunch because our bright and shiny new cafeteria is almost as nice as home. .4 Miss Casler, Mrs. Derby.

K W I Miss Ruth Cordon's Problems Class continues election registration during the noon hour. Every student who wished to vote in the election of Senate officers was required to register. Since the voting record of the United States has been deplorable in past years, the registration was promoted by the Problems students to bring to the attention of eligible voters the responsibility of voting. Students registering were likely to re- mind their parents to register and vote in the na- tional election. I. Now let's look in at noon study in the library. Everyone is doing something. At one table we find many reading magazines. Across the room several of the girls are quietly talking together. Not far from them we can find many of the Jun- iors doing their American History, and there are always those who keep busy studying. A member of the faculty is always present to answer their homework questions, and of course, to quiet down the talking. HIJUH STUDY ova, BUUH STUHE Taking advantage of the new addition to Ilion High, the school book store is like Main Street at noon-always busy. Mrs. Bamford operates this store with the able assistance of Mary Lou Meiser and Connie Seymour. Delightful tones in your ears can be heard from the music room just down the hall. There Mr. Weiler is shown giving noon lessons. Left lo Right: I . Crizzuto. D. Xlervhant. R. M1-Kelvie. Nlr. Dauten.

Together with the odors from Chemistry Lab, comes the fragrance of a newly baked cake. Miss Heady has extreme patience with these in- experienced but very eager boys. Left to Right: M. Palmer, R.

Famous for her 'Ldollar sign , Miss Doris Dol- lar is a hard-working teacher who transfers her ex- periences and knowledge to her students. Who knows, maybe someday they'll be Mgreatsi' in the world of science. LITERATURE CLASS Now our Mirror reflects the eerie witches' scene taken from the play 'SMacbeth , by the great Shakespeare. For the recording, Coke bottles furn' ish the sound-effects for the boiling and bubbling cauldron. U21 Faculty ln the cheerful. comfortable environment of the teachers' room on the first floor.

Seniors, for the first time in many years, marched into the auditorium making this night a Senior Night . Members of the cast were: Dick Hall as Tom Butler, Patte Mason as Ann Butler, Gary O'Connel1 and Mary Sue Power as Doug and Julie Butler, Ray Morton as Hank Stienke, Janice Butterworth as Mrs. Hanson, Dick Klippel as Warren, and Bill White as Sergeant Lutzfelder. Barb Garlock, John Remmell, and Barb Putnam were others in the cast and Doreen Pelletier was Student Director. Ann Butler is a successful doctor, while her husband Tom becomes chief cook and bottle washer for their twins. Meanwhile, he tries to become a top song writer by composing between household chores. As the rejected songs increase, Ann becomes a more successful doctor, and Tom becomes an adept housekeeper. Their happy routine is shattered by the ex- pulsion of their son from school for defending his housewife father, and by Tom's nomination for Mother of the Year. During this confusion Tom's song, If You Want to be' Loved, You Gotta be Lovahle, is sold providing a happy ending. V Standing, Left to Right: B. Garlock, J. Remmell, Mrs. Davis. Seated: B.

Major accomplishments included the introduc- ing of a new traffic system in the halls and the revision of the Constitution. Several Senate members gained valuable ex- perience by attending the Central New York State Student Council Conventions at Syracuse and Cob- leskill. A poll of the most popular vocations and the in- terest in career speakers was taken. Present plans Standing, Left to Right: S. Ryden, A o T. Pavliga.

The business staff of the IHS MIRROR under the supervision of Miss Shirley Cas- ler, sold, in one week, more than the ex- pected number of 350 subscriptions. In addition to selling advertising, the idea of patrons had enabled other interested cit- izens of Ilion to co-operate with the ac- tivities of the school. U31 '59 STAFF The interesting copy you read in the MIRROR was written by a capable Lit- erary Staff and typed by competent typists chosen by the editors. Less formality, more pictures iincluding more school activity picturesl, and fewer words of copy motivated the entire staff. The Staff tried to make the book more interesting to look at and to read, and, as a result, the copy and pictures you see in this book are different and better than they ever have been before. Typing was done by shorthand class with Mrs. Alice Bamford's aid, and ar- tists were assisted by Miss Veronica Don- nelly. Standing, Left to Right: E. Smith, H. Crouch, S Disotelle, B. Cashman, B.

Where's the office? Eventually we became acquainted with the school, the teachers, and each other. Often a student was startled to see a group of girls leap high in the air. The onlooker learned that these were cheerleaders There were seven- Barbara Carlock, Doreen Pelletier, Frances Capes, Gwen Johnson, Marilyn Thompson, Marjorie Thompson, and Priss Bumham. In the class games the team, Warren Reynolds, Dick Coupe, Bill Murphy, Dale Connors, Donn Ahern, Bob Deming, Bob Bergin, Mike Palmer, Charlie Thibault, and Bob Meade, lost to the Sophs 36-17. Members of the Junior National Honor Society, Charles Wood, Doreen Pelletier, .lane Ann Haugh- ton, Joanby McKillop, Mary Lou Meiser, Nancy Donahue, Pat Mason, Priss Burnham, Richard Hall, Richard Klippel, Rita Stagg, Ronald Jones, Shirley Ryden, ,lohn Stephenson, and Kenneth Humphrey, were selected on basis of leadership, scholarship. and character. At our Freshman Frolic, boys played cards, while the girls tried to persuade them to dance. We won't forget Gary O'Connell,s good spirit when he volunteered for the clean-up committee. Jim Wheat earned a varsity letter in track. We closed our first year of high school with a picnic. Excitement filled the air as we began our Soph- omore year by electing Sue Power, president, Bob Bergin, vice-president, Jane Ann Haughton, sec- retary, and Bob Meade, treasurer. A Soph Dance was held in the fall. We were busy after home basketball games checking coats and seeing that everyone got the right hat. 'usa Q-Q-' w L fF, iuahlrf 5.2 u 'll' I ,,,n 0 t up,,' A 1. O 2153-. L-3 -fi f fxx X I During quieter moments, the coat-checkers played cards. Everyone pitched in to make the Sopho- more bakesale a success. Fran Capes and Betty Winsor were elected to the Junior National Honor Society. Dressed as hoboes, Soph boys beat the frosh, 47 to 26. Junior Varsity Cheerleaders chosen were Barb Garlock, Marilyn and Marjorie Thompson, Doreen Pelletier, Priss Burnham, and Fran Capes. Cedar Lake was the locale for the class picnic. The day was cloudy and it began to rain. Every- one drifted to the clubhouse where we spent the rest of the day dancing. After we started home. the sun came out, making a perfect end to our Sophomore year. Ronny Jones was elected Junior Class Pres- ident, Frances Capes, vice-president, Doreen Pel- letier, secretary, and Priss Burnham, treasurer. Prissie,s death cost the class an outstanding member and fine friend. Bob Meade was chosen class treasurer and vice- president of the Senate. Larry Thibault was chairman of the Christmas Ball. 'JL' V4 .wb J wi Remember how the whole class danced the hokey pokey while waiting for the tree? What a relief when the prized possession arrived! The Ball was successful financially and socially. JoAnn Earl had a leading role in The Red Key , a Tri-City Play presentation. Every Friday night some Junior would have the kids over. We ate, watched T. V., danced, talked, and sang. Boys with letters in three sports were Jim Wheat, Bill Murphy, and Ronny Jones, two sports -Tom Pavliga, Bob Meade, Dale Connors, Bob Deming, and Donn Ahern, one sport-Clifford Williams, Mike Palmer, and Jim Fennell. After the Junior beachcombers lost in the class games, we had a get-together at Haughtie's. Re- member our Junior electricians coping with three blown out fuses? Blackfaced endmen of our Minstrel Show were Nicodemus, Magnolia, Rastus Jones. Sambo Brown, Petunia, and Mr. Bones, otherwise known as Mike Palmer, Sue Power, Dale Connors. Bob Meade. Rita Stagg, and Ray Morton. Class co-operation made a grand show. 351.35125--. - -. Ronny Jones, Fran Capes, Sue Power, Dick Hall, and Doreen Pelletier were accepted in the National Honor Society. The J. V. Cheerleaders added JoAnn Earl and Sally Paul to their ranks and stepped up to support the Golden Bombers. We became expert daisy pickers and flower ar- rangers decorating for graduation. Our year ended with a picnic at Pine Lake. Re- member swimming, boating, and mountain climb- ing-bus rides, football games, and eats? Following an active campaign, Tom Pavliga was elected Senior president, Bill Murphy, vice- president, Doreen Pelletier, secretary, and Bob Meade, treasurer. Playing an important part in these political maneuvers were the clever posters drawn by Ann Hanson and Janet Watchers. Dick Hall, Ray Morton, and Dick Merchant helped lead cheers at the Herkimer game. To raise money, the class voted to sell Christ- mas cards. Larry Thibault was chairman. Still lacking sufficient funds, the Seniors sold class pins with Patte Mason as chairman. Doreen Pelletier was elected D A R Good Citizen . Chuck Wood represented the school in the American Legion Oratorical contest. Betty Winsor was elected Editor-in-Chief of the MIRROR, Ronny Jones, Managing Editor, and Shirley Ryden, Business Manager. Committees in- cluded the whole class. The Golden Quill was published by Sue Power, Editor-in-Chief, Doreen Pelletier, Managing Editor, and Dick Hall, Business Manager. The Seniors presented Father was a House- wifei' with Dick Hall as father, Patte Mason, mother, Sue Power, Julie, Cary O'Connell, Doug. Others in the cast were Ray Morton, ,lanice But- terworth, Dick Klippel, Bill Whiter, Barb Putnam. Ann Hanson, Shirley Ryden, Betty Cashman, Rita Stagg, John Remmell and Barb Garlock. Class games brought the usual struggle be- tween Juniors and Seniors. Cooperation made the Senior Prom a success. Swimming, hiking and comradeship were enjoyed at the Senior picnic. After four hard but glorious years, that moment has finally come, graduation. E361 . , 'N 'N 'U -ew.

If life is filled with more losses than gains, the Ilion boys are prepared to take it in their stride. The big thrill was the win over Gloversville, 25-12. The big disappointment was the 25-0 shellacking at the hands of Herkimer. The best game of the season was lost to Mohawk, 12-0 The team was led by Bob Deming, Bill Murphy, and Jim Wheat.

These girls sang for the Travelers' Club, De- Molay, the Masons, a Baptist Church group, tel- evision, plus the regular activities of Orpheus Club of which they are members. Two appearances on television station WKTV in Utica have been among the most important ac- tivities of the Ilion High School Orpheus Club this year. Director Arthur Dauten. music teacher, and the fifty voice Club presented one of these pro- grams at Thanksgiving and the other at Christmas.

A Junior High FHA was organized for girls in the seventh and eighth grades. Although these girls carry on their own activities, both groups use the same treasury. FHA projects are divided into four categories: money making, service to the community, recre- ation, and education. A Hobo Day , three brownie sales, and a pop- corn sale were the projects held to increase the group treasury. At Christmastime, patients at Ilion Hospital were cheered up by the caroling of a group of FHA girls and by FHA scrapbooks. The Miss March of Dimes contest was under the sponsor- ship of the Homemakers. Their baby-sitting clinic will also be of much service to our community. For recreational projects two sleighrides and a kitchen date party were held. Educational projects consisted of a tour of Utica industries and a Career Day with participants from various fields of home economics. Seated: B. Hool, J. Loomis, R. Edgar, J. Allen, J.
