This year has been one filled with many ex- periences which we shall never forget. The joys, the sorrows, the fun and the hard work - these are all part of our memories of this past year. In the 1960 BARONET we have tried to preserve for you through pictures these memories of J. H. S.

MISS V. STREETER MISS E. DUNLAP Miss Streeter, our class advisor, is one of the most dedicated and hard-working faculty members. Chairman of the Business Education Department, Student Council Advisor, and Central Treasurer for all Ex- tracurricular Activities, Miss Streeter's quiet efficiency will be surely missed. Al- though one of the busiest teachers, Miss Streeter has always been ready to lend anyone her kindly assistance. Miss Dunlap has always filled in when- ever needed. Extremely versatile, she has advised the Baronet, and directed the Girls’ Hi-Y. In 1959 and again in 1960, Mrs. Dunlap directed Class Night and die Senior Play. She has guided many a class as Class Advisor, and spends many hours tutoring. She is willing to help anyone and everyone. We salute you, Miss Streeter and Mrs. Dunlap. Your dedication to us, your students, and to Johnstown, your community, has fixed for you an eternal spot in our memories. IN MEMORIAM CHARLES A. AHEARN CHUCK” The time you won your town race We chaired you through die market place, Man and boy stood cheering by, And home we brought you, shoulder high. Today the road all runners come, Shoulder high, we bring you home. And set you at your threshold down, Towns man of a stiller town. Eyes the shady night has shut Cannot see the record cut— Now you will not swell the rout Of lad that wore their honours out- So set before its echoes fade. The fleet foot on the sill of shade And hold, to the low lintel up The still defended challenge cup! 4 (Excerpts from To An Athlete Dying Young” by A. E. Housman) BOARD OF EDUCATION SEATED, left to right: Mrs. Helen Eckler; Mr. Paul Hermon, President; Mr. Alton Swears; Mr. William Schrei- vogl; Mrs. Margaret Grimes. STANDING: Mr. Eugene Conant, Superintendent of Schools; Mr. William Lampe; Mr. Frederick Barter; Dr. Robert Smith; Mr. John Ahearn; Mr. John Synal, Clerk. Composed of nine members, the Johnstown Board of Education has direct responsibility for the educational policies of our public schools. Serving without compensation, this elected group of citizens makes every effort to provide the best possible education for the youth of our city. In doing so, the members of the Board of Educa- tion sincerely attempt to carry out what they discern to be for the best interests of our city. 5 SUPERINTENDENT’S MESSAGE Congratulations to the Class of 1960. We are proud of your achievements in Johnstown High School and wish you every success in your future careers. If I were to offer just one bit of advice to the graduating class, it would be this: Do just a little bit more than you think is expected of you. This applies to those of you who are going on to institutions of higher learning, to the ones who will be entering the business world, and to those who will be becoming homemakers. In college you will find that devoting the same amount of time to your studies that you have been accustomed to spending in high school will probably not be enough. You are older, you are more mat- ure, and the colleges require a higher degree of application than can be expected of younger persons. When business firms find fault with high school graduates it is usually because the individuals they employ are not sincerely interested in doing the best work of which they are capable. The valuable employee and the one who climbs to the top is the one who has the habit of doing more than he thinks is necessary to hold his job. To the graduates who will become homemakers in the near future the same principle applies. The successful homemaker and the one whose family life will be the most rewarding is the one who gives more than he expects. Each of you will find many opportunities for becoming important and valuable members of our society. We are confident that you will make the most of these opportunities. Eugene F. Conant Superintendent of Schools PRINCIPAL’S MESSAGE It has certainly given me real pleasure to have nad the opportunity of meeting and working with the members of the Class of 1960. From observation and from a study of your scholastic achievement it is reasonable to predict that many of you have the potential to make real contributions to society. The pan which each plays in the future will depend to a great extent upon his desire to be of service to others. It is sometimes said that life is like a game of tennis - the player who doesn't serve well usually loses in the end. In recent years, while attending reunions of Johnstown High School classes, it has been very interest- ing to learn of the achievements which members of the classes have made in various fields of endeavor; and this class will, without any doubt, carry on the traditions which have characterized previous classes. The scholastic and extra-curricular history of your Alma Mater will be richer by the roles which mem- bers of the Class of 1960 have played during their school careers. The members of the faculty trust that from their instruction and guidance, you will be better equipped to take the next step in your chosen walk of life, and their interest in you will always continue. Their best wishes are extended to you. William A. Wright Principal 7 ALMA MATER All hail to the Johnstown High With her banner of Purple and Gold As long as that banner shall fly Our hearts shall be wrapped in its folds Good comrades we e'er shall remain Prepared to protect her from all peril. To keep from her memory all stain Hereby we pledge devotion to the Johnstown High School. When school days have come to an end And at last we must bid you goodbye Still, still our best efforts well lend To keep that bright banner high. Though dishonor and shame may be rife They've no power over loyalty's bright rule And through every storm arid every strife Shall shine for aye the banner gay of Johnstown High School. Then here's to the Johnstown High May she ever in dignity stand, Her students, as in years gone by United in heart and hand. May her halls ever ring to the tread Of defenders - as gallant and as bold As those in the days that now have sped, Who were an honor to the Purple and the Gold! 8 NANCY BOYER All right, girls, in your squads and quick.

SEATED: Elaine Grandy, Charles Aheam. STANDING: George Bradt, Miss V. Streeter, Advisor, Rose Ann Cecere. We, Seniors of 1960, chose Charles Aheam as our president: George Bradt, vice-president; Rose Ann Cecere, treasurer; and Elaine Grandy, secretary. Miss Streeter was our advisor. There were many special events which hi-lighted our years at l.H.S. While we were juniors, our prom, Stairway to the Stars, brought stars to many eyes. Then in June some of the junior girls and boys helped out at commencement. Our senior year was full of many surprises. Don Bellinger and Chuck Wright co-captained a very suc- cessful football team which beat Gloversville in the annual game. John MacFadden captained our very spirited basketball team. As the year went by, memories kept piling up. One of the most important events was the senior play, Was This Murder? which was coached by Mrs. Dunlap. Then came class night full of fun, tradi- tion, and tears. All too soon for us it was June and senior week was upon us, including the banquet, the ball, and the end of our high school days - graduation. These were three wonderful years characterized by happy times, and bad times, but always memory times. 39 MOST GLAMOROUS Rosemarie Kosik Victor Sammons MOST BASHFUL Janice Hinkle Tracy Fuller HEARTBREAKERS Judith Van Voast Anthony Ermie 40 MOST ATHLETIC Edna Van Deusen John Mac Fadden CLASS WITS Marietta Raneri George Bradt BEST DRESSED Karen Gutta Charles Wright SUPERLATIVES BEST LOOKING MOST LIKELY TO SUCCEED MOST FRIENDLY Joel Brunetto Mary Ruth Johns Katherine Sewell Burnell Sitterly Diane DeGaro Kenneth Wock DONE THE MOST FOR THE SENIORS BEST MOST VERSATILE Janet Connolly FIGURE AND PHYSIQUE Donald Bellinger Charles Ahearn Joanna Siedlecki Katherine Leffel Thomas Russo 41 JUNIOR PROM MAY 9. 1959 KING JOHN MACFADDEN QUEEN CATHERINE LEOTTA The queen and king and their court.

Are you waiting for the trolley? JUNIORS The Juniors were headed this year by Kip Pencheff, with Nancy Smrtic to lift his morale, Barbara Ellis to sit on his lap, and Timer Whittingham to rob the treasury. The Class as a whole succeeded in sponsoring many mem- orable events. After an exciting football game in which many of our Juniors, such as fullbacks Dave Hesek and Jim Schelle participated, we sponsored a record hop. We also provided an April Fool's Dance for the student body. Bud Brennan as chairman and many other Juniors help- ed to make this dance tres chic. Our Varsity basketball team was honored with the member- ship of Timer Whittingham and Mike Mongin; the JayV's had a successtul year with Gary Eagan, Pete Ford, Bill Kiffney and Fred Hepfer making baskets. The Junior Prom, characterized by pastel gowns and tuxedos, was the end of a very successful year by the Class of 61. Left to right. SEATED: B. Ellis, C. Pencheff. STANDING: N. Smrtic, L.

The students, picked from the whole senior class by a group of teachers, have worked diligently during their three years at Johnstown High School. Their membership in the National Honor Society gives them the recognition they deserve. After the group has been chosen they apply their efforts to raising money for the W. A. Wright Scholarship Fund. Our congratulations are extended to the students to be so honored. 54 STUDENT COUNCIL Left to right, FIRST ROW: J. MacFadden, B. Ellis, J. MacVean, C. Conroy, J. Hinkle, J.

An improvement in newspaper opera- tion has resulted this year through the use of a time schedule for each issue. These dates are set by the editorial staff. As a result, the Bugle has come out on time every issue this year. Consequently, we expect to publish about 12 issues in the current year. This year we had a very fine cooperative staff consisting of John Knipler, Editor-in-chief; Karen Wroble, News Editor; Patricia Jewell, Feature Editor; Larry Kovarovic, Sports Editor; Carol Lewis, Art Editor; Sandra Scully, Typing Supervisor; Janice Hinkle, Production Manager; and Burnell Sitterly, Business Manager. In the future, steps to get more pictures published in our paper are going to be taken, and consideration is going to be given to having the paper commercially printed. Left to right, SEATED: P.
