To prepare our young people to contribute to and enjoy this society, our town provides schools wherein these interests and relationships are revealed, and developed through work and through leisure-time activities. Our yearbook is planned to show. how Johnson City High School helps each of us to take our place, upon graduation, in this society. 2 Let every man be occupied, and occupied in the highest employment of which his nature is ca able, and die with the consciousness that he P has done his best. It is altogether fitting that we dedicate our yearbook to the late George F. Johnson, a man who contributed so much to our society. His philosophy of life, and his ideals will remain with us as endless inspiration to student, parent, and all members of our community. 3 3 NA, T1s educatxon forms the common mmd m our soclety just as the IS bent, the tree s mchned.

The Wildcats met Plattsburg and outclassed them 59-6. A week later the Cats met Central under the lights and just eked out a 10-0 victory. The next to fall was Elmira South Side, who came to town with a strong team that was not quite strong enou h t g o take the Wildcats. J. C. took to the air and the C t ' T a s triumphed 20-7. The following Saturday saw J. C. reach its hi hest k g pea of the season as they pushed a U. E. eleven all over the field to win 14-O. It was after this game that the dream of an undefeated season began to take shape, a dream which later proved to be a reality. . 4. lPetranick, Meade, Fox and Pribil in North game. EMS THIUNIPH, The rest of the season was anti- climactic. In a non-league game a stubborn Rome team was beaten 14-7 and the following week the Maroon whipped hapless Ithaca 41-O. The following week proved to be the only blot on the Cats' record. The team traveled to Elmira and played the Light Blue at Free Academy in a pouring rain and a sea of mud with fhekgame ending in a scoreless dead- oc . The final game of the year proved to be a big scoring aftair as the Wildcats beat North 33-21. Bednar, Silvanic, Petranick, and Niemeyer made the Binghamton Press All- Conference team, while Matyas and Decker made the second string. Al Petranick was chosen as the out- standing player of the conference by W.N.B.F., while Coach Edward Butkus was selected as Coach of the Year. Photo by Frank Chetko bw .

The complete squad as well as the band and cheerleaders were in attendance. George Sauer, head football coach at Navy, was the head speaker of the evening. Trophies were presented to Bill Silvanic for sportsmanship, to Bob Fox for most improved player, to Al Petranick for most outstanding player, and to Dave Decker for most valuable player.

C. had a successful season on the baseball diamond, winning 10 games while losing 3 and finishing second in the Southern Tier Conference. Led by Captain Lenny Raychel, the Wildcats fielded a well-balanced team featuring timely hitting by Howell, Raychel, Silvanic, Bednar and Pribil, and an excellent keystone combination of Reynolds and Spalik. Once again, Larry Tokarchik confounded the rest of the league with his brilliant pitching, and during the summer he signed a professional contract with the New York Giants. George Brittain's succession to George Miner, as head baseball coach this year, has been most successful. RECORD J. C. .... . . 5 Central .... . . 7 J. C. .... .... 1 1 Owego .... . . 4 J.

Track runs include half-mile, 100-yard dash, the 440, and the relay.

There are many indoor and outdoor sports that the girls engage in: Basketball, bowling, baseball, track, volleyball, hockey, archery, table tennis, badminton and tennis. In order for girls to attain their letters they must achieve nine credits and be pres- ent at every game in each sport they sign up for. In the past year, the girls have journeyed to local high schools for their annual Play Day. Two teams are selected to attend these games and represent the high school. The girls, under the supervision and advice of Mrs. Gould, are becoming well minded as to the knowledge of good sportsmanship and fair play. ii Qs fi Sports enthusiasts above are: Delores Germick, Beverly Koranka, Above-Mrs. Gould conducts girls' field events.

And unfortunately, many unthinking Americans give aid and comfort to these enemies of our way of life by taking an almost apologetic attitude when the question of tree enterprise is discussed. Such attacks should be met by spirited rebuttal- backed by real facts. Why not tell these critics that the 9,000,000 individual enterprises in America know only ONE boss: The customer. Every time the customer buys a car, a refrigerator, a radio, or a can of paint, he casts a vote that deter- mines which business shall be big and which shall be small. A large majority of the American people have the mistaken opinion that stockholders get the biggest share of the income produced by industry. The majority is wrong. Of all such income produced in the past eighteen years, the workers got 86 per cent. So we don't have to apologize for Ameri- can free enterprise or for capitalism, for they have enabled every American worker to pro- duce and to possess more than six times as many goods as the average worker outside the United States. No other system has equaled-or closely approached that record. iii .... -. . .5 :Zz :- -:f, -. y '-: 4-:-:4.:-.- .,. ,-:-:I-I If. 275, 7.71. 23:5 - ' 2353.
