At last we became an actual part of the high sch- ool. We began under the leadership of Geraldine Berner but when she moved Beverly Van Dusen and Catherine Alvarez took her place. 'This year we experienced the dreaded hlprgughmen In1t'1g1g10j1N, It -proved to be fun for everyone, including us. ' In the spring we sponsored a dance, netting a small profit. With Mrs. Carr as class advisor, we had an enjoyable year. In our sophomore year we were quite accustomed to high schai life. Due to the fact that the Junior class did not have many members, we pitched in to help and share expenses with their Jun- ior Prom. We also sponsored a regular dance with the theme of nLeap Year.n This year Vernon Dibble was our President. Mrs. Daley and Miss Koehn were our advisors. In our Junior year two outstanding events happened. In Oc- tober we ordered our class rings. Shortly after Christmas they arrived and all were pleased. On June third we held the annual Junior Prom. Helen Zak was crowned Queen and George Kinsella was crowned King by last year's King, D1ckVBla1ne. The rest of the Junior girls acted as attendants and each carried carnations. on December l7 we sponsored a dance. During the year we sold bean- ies and kerchiefs. Olga Zona was our presiding officer. Gur Junior year was the most interesting in comparison with the pre- vious years. Beginning our Senior year with nine members, we undertook many activities. This year it was our turn to initiate the Fresh- men. J.G.S.lwas a place of fun for the day. It being our last year, we strived to add more money to our treasury. A bake sale was one of our projects which was quite successful. Next we took our turn at selling candy. The candy was homemade so there was no expense incurred and some profit was made. Our biggest event was the combination of a mystery wbasketball game and dance on.the same night. A lot of fun was had by all who attended. Of course the biggest event of any Senior in the last year is the trip that .is taken. We,had a very enjoyable time during Easter vacation, when we traveled to New York and stayed at the Hotel Taft. It was really a memorable occasion for those who attended. We want to thank all of the teachers who have helped us through the years and especally Mrs. Carr who advised us during the '49 and '50 session. , 1 ' 11' ,7 - , . f , 1 i V - sa. . uav page f any .dag ge fi V SENIOR CLASS WILL We, the class of nineteen-hundred and fLfty,'Jefferson Cent- ral School, town of Jefferson, county of Schoharie, state or New York, do hereby disclose our last will and testament, leaving to all our dear friends that which we have treasured so highly dur- ing our school years. To the class of 1951, we leave our hopes that you don't have as much trouble as we did deciding on our money problems, our graduation cards and everything else that comes up during the wonderful Senior year. 5 To the class of 1952, we leave our homeroom and our much us- ed and battered desks that we know you will appreciate. To the class of 1955, we leave some of our serious minded- ness, so that all of you may pass Social Studies. Helen Zak leaves her daring, mischievous, funloving ways to Arlene Pierce. Olga Zona leaves her ability for Public Speaking to Dorothy Stiber and her clear voice to Elda Ellet. Elinor Carr leaves her intelligence to Philip Harris and her slimness to Charles Buck. To Zelma Nichols, Alice Robinson leaves her short curly nair and some of her boy-friends. Marie Shafer leaves her neat and quiet ways in study hall to Raymond Champlin and the Reim twins. Florence Boerner leaves her interest in books to Jimmy Lou- cks and her sense of humor to Miss Baranowski. Ruth Welch leaves her ability to hold on toe a man to all the Sophomore girls. Beverly Van Dusen leaves her studious ways to Hamilton Topp- ing and her athletic ability to Richard Treadwell. To all the boys of the future Senior classes, George Kin- sella leaves his knowledge from experience, that being the only boy in a class of girls is not as much fun as it sounds and he hopes that none of them have to go through what he did in his nwonderfuln Senior year. . To Miss Baranowski, we leave our heartfelt appreciation for her interesting ntalksn in English l2 class and for the interest she took in each of us as individuals. We hope that all of Mr. McNeilly's future history classes are as intelligent and attentive as we have been. We thank Mrs. Carr for chaperoning us on our Senior trip and for a swell time. To Mr. Lambrecht we leave our sincere thanks for helping us during our high school years. And to those who have this horrible job next year, we hope you have more luck than we did. , V . MN ' 1 . id.

Luise Duerr came from Huntington, Long Island, and John Gramer came from Greenpoint in Brooklyn. Our class was fortunate in having our dance in the beginning of the year, and we came out with quite a large profit. During the school year we, sold Bas- ketball schedule pencils, and, as in past years, they sold well. Throughout the remainder of the year we sponsored successful bake sales. All and all, it was a good year, with Mr. Churchill as our advisor again. The Junior Class elected the following officers: President - Fred Baldwin Vice President - Milton Burger Secretary - John Gremer Treasurer - Donald Vrooman Student Council - Ellen Buck SOPHCDMGRES The class sponsored many profitable events this year. These included a dance in April, candy sales and refreshments at bas- ketball games. On the whole we enjoyed a very successful year.

EIGHTI-I GRADE EIGHTH GRADE Our class officers this year were: President, Claudia Sch- neiderg Vice-President, 'NGHCY'Reimg Secretary, Arlene Pierceg Treasurer, Jim Loucksg and Student Council Representative, Betty Ann Tollefsen. We planned a spaghetti supper for November 10, but because of the polio situation it was postponed until March Sl.. The supper, prepared by the cafeteria ladies and some of the mothers, proved to be tasty and successful. As usual we spent a great deal of time during the spring preparing for Regents and Eighth grade graduation. SEVENTH GRADE The Seventh Grade had a lot of practice with Parliamentary Procedure this year under the guidance of our advisor, Mr. Gros- venor, and our officers. They wereg President, Charles Bucky Vice-President, Carl Guntertg Secretary, Richard Herodesg Treas- urer, Bruce Sloang Student Council, Richard Proper. During the year one of our class-mates, Georgine Richardson, moved awayg but we had two additions to our group, Loretta Mosier and William Decker. For our activity we sponsored a dramatic and art show which proved original and successful. FIFTH AVND SIXTH GRADE ast September thirty boys and girls registered in Grades 5 A 6. During the year a few new pupils from other schools joined us. Some, who had been with us for years, left. Among these were Ivan Rogers and Bill Bizzaro. Bill went to New York for a couple of months but joined us again in January. One of the most enjoyed holidays of the year was Christmas. After attending movies in the Gym we were served a very delicious lunch in the Cafeteria. Then we went to our room where we found a gaily decorated tree loaded with gifts waiting for us. . In January the school busses took us to Stamford to see Walt Disney's production of 'Ichabod and Mr. Toadn. This was enjoyed by all. The nSpiderFs Web', the sixth grade's school paper, WHS Pub' lished again this year. Marjorie Ardito acted as Editor, and Joan Churchill, as Assistant Editor.' This paper consists of stories, poems and jokes written by members of grade six. we have enjoyed the school year very much and are already looking forward to the year of 1950-1951.

We started the yearwcfb by helping with the School Fair. The money we earned will Be used for-worthwhile projects during the year. Since we were studying homes we went to visit a house Ftliit was being built in our school district. Next came the study of clothing. We planned our wardrobes and planted cot- ton. From our unit on Transportation we made a frieze in which we included pictures of all kinds of transportation. The fifth grade enjoyed making relief maps of North Am- erica and,maps of the sections of the United States. THIRD GRADE The opening of school found twenty-eight pupils regis- tered in grade three. Although several have entered and some have left, our number is the same. We all mlss the little Latvian boy whom we helped thro- ugh his first months of American schooling. The trips we have enjoyed in connection with our work are the ones to the bakery, roundhouse, dairy company and a visit to a new house. The most challenging project of the year was our part- icipation in the grade school fair. The proceeds from buf concessions will be used for an activity later in the year. sg, for '. ' V . 1 ,. .

KIND ERGARTEN KIN DERGARTEN We have had an interesting year of work-and play in the Kindergarten. our average enrollment has been twenty-four, with thirteen boys and eleven girls. Our activities and projects have centered around numero- us areas of work and play. Some of our units were nThe Farm? nPetsn, Wwintern, nCommunity Helpersn, nThe Storen, WThe Post Officen, 'The Homen, NAnimals of the Zoon, nThe Circusn, nGardening N, and nTransportationn. We enjoyed many movies, holiday parties or programs, birthday parties, and some assembly programs. The Kindergarten has provided equipment and play mater- ials that help the child to grow and develop. It has encour- aged the expression of feeling in the childg has encouraged him to use materials creativelyg has endeavored to develop wholesome attitudes, and has provided opportunities for' the child's social adjustment. FIRST GRADE The chief aim of our first grade has been to provide a wide variety of first hand experiences on which to build the necessary interests so that each member will have an urgent drive to read and to enjoy his ability to learn things for himself through reading. To accomplish this purpose we have worked on many dif- ferent units both in the science and social studies fields. Our special tday parties have helped to build interest and have begun to give the children an idea of how to enjoy soc- ial group activities. The movies, which have been very fine this year, have helped to build interest in learning to read and in broadening the scope of the First Graders' world. SECOND GRADE Our year started off with a registration of thirty, in- cluding twenty-one boys and nine girls. We joined the other grades in planning for and conduct- ing The Grade School Fair. Our grade had a flower show and took charge of the 'fish pondn. At Halloween, Christmas and Valentine's!Day we had part ies in our room. Many interesting projects were completed in connection with our social studies. Our social studies Scrap Book is a result of thiswork. The cover of this book was made by fin- ger-painting in our art class. We have had a busy but happy.year working together.

LITTLE THEATRE GROUP . At the beginning of the year Mr. Grosvenor, our advisor, st- arted a magazine campaign to raise money for new stage equipment. This campaign was very successful. On December 5rd nThe Little Theatre Group' presented ulce- boundn a three-act play by Owen Davis. The members of the cast were: Olga Zona, Rosemarie Reinwald, Milton Burger, Virginia Moeller, Charles Buck, John Gremer, Fay Demarest, George Kinsella Alan Sloan, Barry Hewlett, Mary Ann Smith, and Elinor Carr. This play was so successful that it encouraged the group to continue. It sponsored a Spring Drama Festival on March 2lst. Three one-act plays were presented, 'Confettin, nSong of Solomonn and VA Night in the Countryn. The members of the cast for WCon- fettin were: Sally Decker, Edwin Reim, Barry Hewlett, and Ellen Buck. The members of the cast for 'Song of Solomonn were: Mary Ann Smith, Jackie Fraser, Beverly Van Dusen, John Gremer, and Milton Burger. The group sponsored a third play by the faculty, NA Night in the Countryn. ' At the dress rehearsal on March 16th the judges selected 'Song of Solemonn to represent our school at the County Play Fes- tival in Middleburg where it was well received by the audience and the professional critic who also witnessed it. The excellent work of the casts and committees on these pro- ductions has not only brought new honor for the school but has increased the interest in Dramatics by the public in general. During the year 1949-50--we have seen our stage grow from a stage without equipment and of no use--to one with better equip- ment and suited for several types of production. ' We are grate- ful to the Board of Education, Mr. Lambrecht and the general pub- lic for their help and encouragement to the Little Theatre Group, and with their continued support it hopes to continue to offer good theatre to the public in 1950-51. lst row: Carr, Decker, Zona, Ven Dusen, Clapper, Shafer, Pob- inson, Welch, 2nd row: Mr. McNe1lly, Hamm, Moeller, Qoerner, Kinsella, Carr, Fraser, Kinsella, Mr. Churohillg 3rd row: Burger, Buck, Smith,Loucks, Buck, Hillis, Wager. PUBLICATIONS The Publications staff under the supervision of Mr. Chur- chill and Mr. McNeilly includes twenty-three members. This staff has done much to improve the nBlotter . Instead of having aitwo- column page the staff changed it to a one-column paper. In the recent nBlottersn there have been more sketches and feature arti- cles. Everyone Contributed time and effort, and some of the ten or so issues of the 'Blotternwere published in record time. Beverly Van Dusen served as editor with Olga Zona and Wanda Clapper as her assistants. George Kinsella was the Circulation Manager, and the Head-typist was Ellen Buck. nThe Jeffersoniann has much larger and clearer pictures than in recent years. The staff started working on NThe Jeffersoniann in the beginning of January. The Editor Was George Kinsella with Alice Robinson as the assistant. Marion Kinsella was elected to head the circulation board. This year, because of the new transportation set-up, several fof the staff members were able to work after school on the Year- book and WBlotterm. This helped very much as our one period a week on Wednesday went very quickly as everyone tried to meet the deadlines. Putting the nB1otterW together and stapling it on the day of publication was generally a cooperative venture as many of the students who are not on the publications staff gave us a wel- come helping hand. Most of the stylus work this year was done by Wanda Clapper and George Kinsella, although others helped when necessary. Olga contributed several clever covers.

Van Dusen ST UD ENT COUNCIL Throughout the past year the Student council has had meet- ings once each week, trying to improve the scholastic achievement school spirit and interests of the students, and the appearance of the school. me bers of the council were the same as last Fouraoflthe Van Dussn was the secretary again. year andEmver1y The council helped to set up sponsored a successful dance on December 9. It rules to lessen confusion in the cafeteria. In addition, the council set up clubs to be scheduled once a week during activity period. This year we started the dancing club, which proved to be helpful to many students. In addition a Girls Shop class and a Boys' Cooking class met during activity period, and they produced so e good results.

The boys participated in the music festival at Hancock and the county festival at Cobleskill. In the spring the boys' and girls' choruses pres- ented an evening of fine and enjoyable music. This was the first year that the choruses gave a complete even- ing's program alone. The entire Chorus is grateful to Mr. Fraser for putting up with all he did and for leading us through such a fine year. GIRLS' CHORUS The first few months were spent in preparing music for the Christmas pantomime which was presented.by the seventh grade. The choruses were dressed in black-and white robes, as they added the musical background for the beautiful candlelight service. Some of the girls took-part in an all State Fest- ival held in Hancock in the Fall. This was a mixed chorus with Rufus Wheeler as the director. As this was a two-day affair, the girls had to room in a hotel, and even had a house party. Also,1n May, the chorus took part in a concert which Jefferson Central School presented at a Junior High School in Schenectady.

BAND At the beginning of the year several members of the band went to Cobleskill and participated in the mass band which play- ed at the County Fair. This year for the first time we had a member of our band participating in State Sectional Band at Hancock. Margaret Van Dusen represented J,C.S., playing flute. In the spring our admirers experienced something new. For the first time the J,C,S, band offered an all-band concert which 'was very well attended. A guest soloist helped to vary the dif- ficult but well-performed program. In April our band was honored with an invitation to play in Schenectady.
