Our first Senior to surrender his outstanding feature is Fred Baldwin, who sadly leaves his ability to flirt with girls to Paul Totten. Barry Hewlett would like Frances McMullen to grasp his great habit of forgetfulness, so it will not hinder his Navy career. Our class nnight owln, Milton Burger, would like to see Frank Wenzel carry on his ability to stay up nights fall nighth and to smoke and play on the team at the same time. To the president of the Class of '52, Joan Carraher, leaves her ability to conduct an orderly class meeting. The nsleeping beautyn of the class, John Henry Gremer, leaves his daily sleepiness to Jim Keyser. Carolyn Champlin has the great honor of inheriting a number of silly moods from Ellen Buck. Luise Duerr has surrendered her pet duck, Rollmops, to our class advisor, Mrs. Holsinger. A pair of big feet owned by Betty Ann Carr have been bequeathed to Phyllis Boerner. Wanda Clapper leaves her golden tresses and sunny disposition to Karen Frazer. To John Frey, Ginny Moeller bequeaths her legal mind and manners. Shirley Hillis leaves her basketball techniques to Ruth Mackey. The four Senior boys, Fred, Milton, John and Barry leave their positions on the basketball floor and on the ball field to future teams with hopes of very successful winning seasons. To the person who has the grand privilege of writing the class will next year, I leave my scrubby pencil, scrap paper and a big box of aspirin to kill that bound-to-get headache. nTime repairs all things. No man is born 0:55 pl 0l0A2Cy Monday, June 25, 1961 nAll aboard!! For New York, Philadelphia, and points south! Train leaving on track four.n nI'd better hurry,n thought Shirley, who was being pushed along with her sister Donna, through the gates. nHow exciting New York is going to be,n she thought, nespecially when I give my prepared lecture on child care at New York Hospital. I remember our Senior trip..New York ....How excited we all were...especially me, because it was my first visit to the city. I'll probably be seeing an old classmate when I arrive there. Betty Carr is Head Supervi- sor of nurses at New York Hospital. Betty and I will have much to talk about when we see each other.n nHere boy, Ifll take a paper,n said Shirley. WWhat's this!! 'MAN ATTEMPTS TO MAKE FULL SCALE MODERN FARM OUT OF MANHATTAN ISLAND.' Why Donna, that's John Gremer, a mem- ber of my Senior Class. I always knew he loved farming, but must he go this far!n nl wonder what has happened in the past ten years to all the other members of the Class of '5l. Let's see.u nRemember a couple of months ago when Barry Hewlett, now in the Navy, steered his ship to safety, over roaring seas? That certainly took courage and bravery.n nJoan Carraher is chief financial accountant in the United States Treasury now. She's the luckiest one of all of us. Imagine being in the middle of all that money!n nG1nny Moeller is in New York now, too. It must be very interesting being Secretary to the Mayor. Another prominent secretary was graduated frmn J.C.S. in 1951. Wanda Olapper must see Ginny quite often, being the secre- tary to Governor Dewey. The Governor and the Mayor cou1dn't have obtained any better girls.n nLook at this article, Shirley. 'BURGER AND BALDWIN BREAK RECORD FOR ROUND THE WORLD FLIGHT'n read Donna. 'HI always knew that Fred and Milt would make good f11ers,n replied Shirley. UI remember when they broke the news to us at the lunch table about wanting to join the Air Corps and we never believed them.n nAt least two of your classmates are living nice quiet lives,n said Donna, nEllen Buck's home demonstration course at college proved worthwhile, since she is married and has three lovely children. I also hear that 'Luise-Duerr is back teaching kindergarten at J.c.s.n As the train rattled on toward the city, Shirley dozed off...her head full of memories of the class of l95l....... What will ten years bring for the Class of '5l. Good fortune? Prosperity? Happiness? We hope so with all our hearts. Cyan ,Maiorg Let's think back through the pages of our history books and see what stories are revealed about the Class of 1951. Although we have encountered many set-backs, we have contin- ued to push onward until reaching our goal - Senior Gradua- tion. First, we will start way back with Ancient History or the time when we were Freshmen. One of our many mishaps was our Freshmen Initiation. This was the day when we came to school looking like tattered and torn rag dolls. During that year we sponsored a dance, nRainbow Innn, and a bake sale. The leaders during these ancient times were: Presi- dent, Jeanne Edwardsg Vice-President, Betty Ann Carr: Secre- tary, Virginia Moellerg Treasurer, Shirley Hillisg and Stu- dent Councilor, Ellen Buck. Mrs. Carr was our class advisor. Following this era we will review the nDarkLAgesn when we were sophomores. During this period in history we sold pencils, on which were printed the Basketball Schedules. We held an April Fool's Day Dance which helped to increase our Treasury. Our officers were: President, Betty 'Ann Carr, Vice-President, Barry Hewlettg Secretary, Wanda Clapperg Treasurer, Shirley Hillisg and Student Councilor,Ellen Buck. Our class advisor was Mr. Churchill. Next, came the Renaissance Period when we were Juniors. Because of the success of our pencil sales in our Sophomore year, we continued this ideap During the Renaissance period everyone became conscious of beauty andornamentation, so to keep up with the times we ordered our class rings. we chose a rectangular shaped ring with gold setting and the school crest was mounted on various stones. Our government was run by: President, Fred Baldwing Vice-President, Milton Burger, Secretary, John Gremerg Treasurer, Donald' Vroomang and Stu- dent Councilor, Ellen Buck. Mr. Churchill was our advisor for this phase of history. At last we come to Modern History or our Senior year. First of all we had to continue the old tradition and initi- ate the Freshmen. For a day we were ableuto get our revenge and rule one class and how we loved it! In the evening of Fresh Initiation we held a Halloween Party. Other events that we sponsored during the year were a class dance and various bake sales. With the proceeds from these and pre- vious affairs we took our Senior Trip to New York City at Easter'tim6. Officials during this time were: President, Joan Carraherg Vice-President, Fred Baldwing Secretary, Wan- da clapperg Treasurer, Luise Duerrg and Student Councilor, Betty Ann Carr. Je would like to thank Mrs. Holsinger for her patient guidance during this year? S M , 95 5 . 1 3 A, . .

IUNICDRS The Junior Class enjoyed a very profitable year under the jurisdiction of the following officers: President ---------- Anna Weger Vice-President -------- John Frey Secretary ------- Phyllis Boerner Treasurer ---------- Doris Buck Student Councilor ----- Sally Decker The class started the 1950-1951 year by sponsoring a fall dance with Charles York's orchestra. During the bas- ketball season we served refreshments at a home game, and throughout the remainder of the year we concentrated on the sale of greeting cards and hats or ngobbiesn. The sale of the latter proved especially profitable. We consider our career as Juniors a very successful one indeed, and we appreciated the guidance of our advisor, Miss Greene. 'lgllll A.

SGPI-IOMORES This year the Sophomore Class had nine members with Mr. MoNeilly as their advisor. In January Pauline Ham left the group and John Kingsbury joined it. Shortly after school started the sophomores elected the following officers: President --------- Fay Demarest Vice-President ------ Ronnie Moeller Secretary ------ Rosemarie Reinwald Treasurer --------- Frank Wenzel Student Council ------ Jimmy Keyser As their class activity, the group sponsored a movie night with nsitting Prettyn and a Laurel and Hardy comedy as the feature pictures. Another profitable venture was the monthly candy sale which the sophomores conducted. This year, instead of serving refreshments at a basketball game, the class sold punch and cookies at the Spring Play Festival. In order that the students might enjoy their class rings for a longer period, this year, for the first time, the sophomores ordered theirs in May for early delivery next fall. On the whole, the class of '53 enjoyed a successful year, financially, socially and scholastically. A .QERSN w , , -grim 'f p Y-fre' ef, l s w l l, ,h 'U X-' if Jw ' U . ,. 5 1 .

We eagerly waited to see what the mighty seniors would do to us for initiation. Our class officers were: Helen Havrish--Student Council Representative Betty Tollefsen --------------------- President Ann Himple --------------------- Vice President Arlene Pierce ----------------------- Secretary James Loucks ------------------------ Treasurer Frosh initiation wasn't too hard and our thirteen mem- bers all survived. On March 9th with the much appreciated help of Mrs. Patterson and Miss Greene, we presented an amateur show. John Kingsbury, a sophomore now, was a marvelous master of ceremonies, and he really 'kept the ball rolling.' This event proved very profitable, as did our sale of refresh- ments at a basketball game. We'll all be very proud when we become sophomores but our carefree freshman year will not soon be forgotten, nor will we forget the guidance of our advisor, Mrs. Patterson. me ' - , '- , Y .T 3.

Although the mumps and flu epidemic decreased en- rollment during the winter months and upset some of the usual plans, nevertheless many activities kept the younger pupils occupied. For Mothers' Day the third, fourth and fifth grades enter- tained their mothers and presented them with flowers. The sec- ond graders entertained their mothers with the interesting npeek boxesu which they made while the first graders entertained their mothers at a Christmas party. On other special occasions, such as Valentine's Day, Halloween, and Christmas all of the grades enjoyed special parties. Throughout the year many field trips were taken, especially by the kindergarten pupils and first graders in connection with the study of their community and by the third graders in connect- ion with occupations. As usual the train ride which the latter group took was a treat for all of them. All of the groups contributed to the school art exhibit in June and all completed interesting art projects. Mrs. Fox's groups enjoyed help from Mr. Grosvenor with their art work and they made several large and colorful murals. Mrs. Moore's class made an interesting mural of a fishing village, while Mrs. Key- ser's class made an interesting one about airplanes. Even the kindergarten group enjoyed their art work which included cards and gifts for their mothers and dads. All of the grade teachers are very thankful for the suggestions which Mr. Grosvenor gave them for teaching art this year. Each of the grade groups has welcomed new members this year. Recent newcomers to kindergarten are Roger Meade of Charlotte- ville, Jerry Samuelson of Cooperstown, and Elizabeth Utter. Now in the first grade are Carolyn and Wilma Roe of Franklin and Karen Mead of Ovid. The second graders have welcomed Roger Roe of Franklin and Ruth and Leon Mead from Ovid and Charlotteville respectively. New students in the third grade are Wayne Lafler of Sharon Springs and Gail Bouck of Cobleskill. Mrs. Moore's group has been glad to welcome Bill Lafler from Sharon Springs, Marion Roe from Franklin and Joyce Rouck of Cobleskill. Mrs. Fox's new pupils are Barbara Fogarty of Brooklyn, who proved her- self a talented tap-danc r, Frances Mead of Ovid, and Jan Benson of Franklin. Mrs. Fox's pupils appreciate the new blond furniture which they have. All of the class groups have contributed generously to the various charity drives and funds.

The band consisted of thirty-two members and, under the direc- tion of Mr. Fraser, they worked hard on many difficult piec- es of music. The band played 'The Syncopated Clockn and nln The Cathedral' for an afternoon Christmas program. Several band members played in the county mass hand at tke County Music Festival where our own band made its usual good show- ing. In June several pupils took instrumental tests before a visiting critic to secure their music rating. Wenzel.

Working during activity periods and when the typing room was available, the staff has succeeded in publishing eight 'Blotters and the Yearbook. Everyone on the staff has contributed to try to make better publications each issue. . For the nBlottern, Ellen Buck was editor-in-chief with Wanda Clapper and Sally Decker as her assistant editors. Milton Burger served as Circulation Manager and Sports Edit- org Phyllis Boerner, as Art Editorg and Anna Weger, as Head Typist o Publication of the 'Jeffersonian' was delayed this year by the mump and flu epidemics of the winter months, but pro- duction was finally completed in May with Golfetto studios providing the pictures. The work was completed in record time with Ellen Buck and Wanda Clapper serving as Editors. The Yearbook was the result of contributions and work by the entire Publications staff, although the following girls de- voted extra time after school for its final production: Ellen Buck, Wanda Clapper, Shirley Hillis, Joan Carraher, Betty Carr, Luise Duerr, Virginia Moeller, Sally Decker, Phyllis Boerner, Anna Weger, Doris Buck, Rosemarie Reinwald, and Betty Ann Tollefsen. Putting the Yearbook into its final form, and stapling the nBlottern sheets together on the days of sale were coop- erative ventures, wherein many non-staff members offered a welcome and appreciated helping hand. a CGPP, sh, Proper. STUDENT COUNCIL Student Council representatives this year were: Senior class-Betty Carrg Junior class-Sally Deckergsophomore class- James Keyser, Freshman class- Helen Havrishg Eighth grade- Richard Proper, Seventh grade-Marjorie Ardito. This year's Student Council legislation includedg a plan whereby cheerleaders were chosen by student elimina- tion, a campaign to keep locker tops,c1eared of debrisg and a set of rules and a new seating arrangement on the buses governing away basketball games. In June the Student Council sponsored an all-school ex- hibition including individual and class projects of'the year, The exhibition was very successful in showing the yearns work, and it was followed by a festive movie. Several of the club and class groups presented 'liven demonstrations of their work. GIRLS' SHOP BOYS' COOKING The girls turned into carpenters in shop and made dif- ferent kinds of furniture and bric-a-brac under the super - vision of Mr. Lyons. The Boys' Cooking Club, advised by Mrs. Carr made cakes, cookies, and fudge and learned how to prepare a well- balanced meal. They ate their delicacies, and, surprising- ly, everyone survived.

CRAFTS CLUB A new club for girls was organized this year,the Crafts Club.' Mrs. Patterson and Mr. Lambrecht served as sponsors for this group which made aluminum trays, bracelets, and rings. Following every activity period many strange persons roamed through the corridors, among them foreigners, old people and harlequins. A closer look revealed these outsid- ers to be the members of the Stage Make-Up Club. Mr. Gros- venor taught these students the art of changing identity via cosmetics.

The boys made these with the help of Mr. Douglas. In the Boys' Sport Club the fellows learned new rules and regulations and how to tumble. Mr. Fraser and Mr. Smith were instructors. We have had such a wonderful time participating in all these activities, that we hate to bid them goodbye. We hope that many of them will be resumed next year. Many thanks to the sponsors.

But regardless of the results, our boys played with determination and they didn't 'let up' un- til the final bell was sounded. The fellows displayed fine sportsmanship as well as a great will to win. Except for two games with Treadwell all of the teams played were members of the Schoharie County Bas- ketball League of which Schoharie Central School was the winner. Near the close of the season we defeated Gilboa and Sharon Springs for our lone victories, al- though previous games with these teams as well as with Richmondville and Delanson were lost by very close mar- gins. The year's record was 2 wins and 14 losses, The team suffered hard luck from the start. Eddie Reim was ineligible for play until the end of February. Milt Burger was hurt on December 8th, and his injured back kept him out of a few games. Barry Hewlett's ill- ness in January kept him out of the last eight games. Milt Burger, Fred Baldwin, Barry Hewlett, and John Gremer, the Seniors on the teams, and Eddie Reim, who has left school, will all be missed next year. Vet- erans remaining for 1951-1952 are Moeller, Keyser, Wen- zel, Kingsbury, R. Cates and G. Loucks. Burger was high scorer for the year with 155 points. Hewlett with 100 and Baldwin with 96, followed. Proper, Hitchcock, Loucks, Topping, Herodes, Sloan, Buck, Cates, Champlin. JUNIGR HIGH BASKET BALL The baseball team was handicapped this year by a lack of man-power and by the weather. Only eleven boys participated in fall baseball, while twelve men made up the spring team. Considering the lack of experience as well as the limited ability of some of these boys,they, as well as Coach Smith are to be commended for their good sportsmanship in even trying to field a. team. Even when the opposing teams led by lop-sided scores, our players kept on trying to the best of their abilitb when many others would have quit from discouragement. The spring team benefitted from its fall experience to make a better record. However, wet grounds and a late spring prevented some practice sessions. Six games were lost in the fall, while seven were played in the spring. BASEBALL First row-Keyser, Totten, J. Loucks, Topping, Kingsbury Moeller. Second row-Hitchcock, G.

All girls who wished to compete cheered in groups of three at a high school assembly. Each girl. was judged separately by the student body. The winners of this competition then cheered before a group of faculty members who acted as the final judges. Each team was cut to six including two alternates. The Varsity girls started the year with gusto because they had stunning new uniforms and a marvelous coach. Miss Greene taught the varsity girls many new cheers and the girls really put pep into them. The Junior High team, with many of its girls being new at the activity, really appreciated the fine experience and excellent coaching which Mrs. Carr had to offer. At the season's first game,the Varsity girls cheered for our visitors, Treadwell, while the junior team cheered for ngood old J.c.s.ng but from then on, both teams cheered for Jefferson, even when their team was losing. Both teams were thrilled to cheer at the All-Star game where they made a good impression for Jefkmson.
