In the last half century, the Johnstown High School has amply filled the ever-increasing demands of our growing economy for trained citizens by graduating nearly 5.000 students. To fulfill the increased educational demands of the people, the Johnstown High School has emerged to its present modern form, pictured above. Yet. the spirit of old J.H.S. re- mains. The shining new corridors may ring v ith the sounds of unfamiliar voices, but the same old purpose is still there. The purpose which has motivated the students of a half c|j|fury to accomplish more for a brighter future has been transferred intact to its new environment. The momentous occasion of the opening of a new school can only be fuUjJled by the ac- complishments of its students. The Class of 1965 has contributed greatly tjj fte life of our new flchool - the essence of which is depicted in this first yearbook. For Devotion ... We Dedicate Meritorious service is usually accorded its due praise and gratitude. The accomplishments of Mrs. Saunders, math teacher and math co-ordinator for the Johnstown School System for 40 years, dwarf any attempt that we can make to justly praise her for the invaluable services which she has rendered. Mrs. Saunders received her B.S. degree from Albany State and came to Johnstown in 1925. Since then Mrs. Saunders has played an important part in the forming of the school spirit which has carried J.H.S. students through their high school years. Her perseverance and untiring devotion to her students in the classroom has made Mrs. Saunders a favorite at J.H.S. for many years. Her priceless guidance as class advisor for the Class of 1965 and many more before is an intangible debt which is hard to appreciate, let alone repay. And so, the Class of 1965 dedicates this Baronet, the first to emanate from the NEW Johnstown High School, to Mrs. Saunders, who has dedicated so much of herself to us. Mrs. Saunders, class advisor, and Principal Siedlecki seem to agree that everything is going fine at the Junior Prom. Mrs. Saunders leaves for home after a hard day at school. 13 Mrs. Saunders gives some friendly advice to Brian Cridland. Mrs. Painter, Baronet Advisor, and Frank Ambrose, Yearbook Photographer, seem to be enjoying them selves at the Junior Prom, Some Enchanted Evening, as Jon Smrtic, Baronet Editor, looks on. Mrs. Painter gives Photography Editor, Robert Elton, a few pointers concerning yearbook pictures. 14 In Appreciation Patience, perseverance, and punctuality are the three imperative attributes of a good yearbook advisor. Since 1959, the Baronet has been most fortunate to have the help of Mrs. Doris Painter, who has exemplified all three of these. Her patient guidance and determina- tion to produce a better yearbook has brought the Baronet to its present level of achievement. She has impressed upon the Baronet staffs of the past the importance of getting work done on time and meeting the deadlines. When Mrs. Painter first arrived at Johnstown High School she unselfishly volunteered her services for the laborious job of compiling the Baronet. Each year since then the Baronet has been improved and enlarged. The copy which you now hold is the culmination of the work of the Baronet staff and Mrs. Painter, justas our new school is the culmination of much plan- ning and hard work. 15 16 Advertisements 17 TABLE OF CONTENTS New J.H.S. Honored By Many Visitors On Dedication Day Supt. of Schools, Robert D. Agone Past Principal William A. Wright On October 18, 1964 the NEW Johnstown High School was officially dedicated to Mr, William A. Wright as an ex- pression of appreciation for his many years of devoted service and guidance to the young people of Johnstown, The prin- cipal speaker at the dedication was Dr. Walter Crewson, Associate Commissioner of Education. With the high school band providing music, the color- guard handling the flag ceremony, the Key Club handling the traffic situation, and the high school girls acting as guides, our Dedication Day was a great success. Principal John P. Siedlecki Never had these new-fangled gadgets in my day. ” Principal Speaker Dr. Walter Crewson Mr. Wilcox, for- mer science teach- er, beams proud- ly at the NEW J.H.S.

Agone, Supt. of Schools; Andrew J. Zayicek, Harry Christman, Frederick Franko, Peter S. Raneri. Since last June members of the Board of Education have had their work cut out for them. Many last- minute decisions in planning for the opening of our new high school in September made it necessary for the Board members to hold many special meeting and put in many extra hours. As a result, they have been successful in maintaining a high level of efficiency between faculty and students in their new enviroment. The new access road which has been approved to facilitate traffic flow in the school area will run from West Main Street north to the new school. We offer our congratulations to the Board for a job well done and our hopes for continued progress in the future. 20 William F, Lampe President, Board of Education Johnstown School System Receives New Superintendent Robert D. Agone, who began his duties as Superin- tendent of Schools on August 1,1964, brings to our schools years of experience as a teacher, counselor and admin- istrator. This background should serve him well as the chief administrator of our school system. Mr. Agone believes that education is a dynamic process and that a school system must continually seek to improve all aspects of its program if it intends to provide its students with the best possible educational preparation for today’s complex world. He also believes that teaching is an extremely challenging and demand- ing, yet rewarding, profession. It is his hope that a higher percentage of our capable young men and women will make it their career. MR. ROBERT D. AGONE A.B., M.A., Albany Mr. Agone pauses for the camera in his office at Knox Junior HighSchool. Mr. Agone ends up rowing while fishing with his twin sons, Dave and Mike, on Sacandaga Lake. 21 Superintendent’s Staff MR. GERALD PERKY Supt. of Buildings Mr. Diltz is assistant to the superintendent and administrator of all business affairs. As clerk of the Board of Education he keeps the official minutes, files and maintains records, handles corre- spondence, and makes such research as the Board requires. Mr. Diltz has been kept add it ion ally busy by the huge volume of administrative work concerning the new high school which has been handled through his office. Mr. Perry is responsible for eight school buildings in the Johns- town school system. He and his staff are busiest during the sum- mer recess, working hard to give our school facilities a rejuvenated appearance for the September opening. With the opening of the new Johnstown High School this year, Mr. Perry has an added responsibility to see that our new school is properly maintained for the thousands of graduates who will pass through its doors in the future.

MARION WHITE Secretary to Business Administrator Principal Siedlecki Keeps New School Running Smoothly m With the opening of the NEW Johnstown High School, Mr, Siedlecki’s responsibilities as principal have increased. The job of keeping our new school running smoothly was a challenge which was met by him with resourcefulness and dedication. Now that we are all launched in our new school, it is his hope to endow it with a treasury of human experiences which will do credit to this fine physical edifice and which will enable it to mellow gracefully as the years roll on. We, of the Baronet Staff, speaking for the student body as a whole, wish to pay tribute to one who has become such a genuine part of the Johnstown High School, who has led us on the gridiron, in the classroom, and now in his administrative post, whose dedi- cation to the high standards of education have inspired us all to higher ambitions—Principal Siedlecki.

To assist Mr. Subik in counseling the increased number of students, Mr. Christman has been added to the Guidance staff this year. Mr. Christman brings with him much experience which he acquired as Guidance Counselor at Knox Junior High School during the past five years.

Miss Roseann Ferrara, an English major, gained exper- ience in the English Department under the supervision of Mrs. Harriet Lorence. Mr. Peter Schreck, who is majoring in German, taught in Mr. Vogel's German classes for ten weeks. Mr. Schreck will continue his study at Albany to earn his Master's degree. Mr. William Gray, majoring in History, received his on-the-job training under the guidance of Mrs. Gladys Buell. Miss Ferrara serves herself coffee on Dedication Day.

MARGARET SAUNDERS The Class of firsts! - 1965. First in scholarship, in athletics, in social activities, in service to our school and community, and the FIRST class to grad- uate from the NEW Johnstown High School. The Class of 1965 has been fortunate in its choice of officers each year. The officers, in turn, have chosen committees composed of classmates of such varied talents that every activity has been a first” in originality and tops in social success, witnessed by our Enchanted Evening in May 1964 and our Senior play in 1965. In sports, we have excelled not only in quality but in number. Our football team had a great season, winning seven games out of eight. The Cross-Coun- try team, with five members of the Class of 1965, had the greatest season. Winning the Western Con- ference and Section II titles, our team went on to represent Johnstown in the State Intersectionals. We, the Class of 1965, hope our service to J. H. S. will repay, in some measure, to those who have made these and our future successes possible. 56 LINDA ACHZET KATHLEEN AGONE MARY JANE AGUILERA ANDREA LYNN ANDERSON JOHN W. ANDERSON RONALD E.

May 9 was an unforgettable evening for Juniors. The Masonic Temple had been decorated with flowers. A throne with a hand-painted backdrop of a castle was erected with a miniature castle on the plat- form. Couples arrived, greeted by the Junior Class Officers, to dance to the music of Frank Fleming. Admiring parents, friends, and faculty looked on. Cameras flashed.

Life in the new school was a great change for us, but we adjusted to our new environment and played an active role in the activities of our new home. During the first weeks of school, we encoun- tered no special difficulty in finding our way around; the school was new to everyone, and we found our way like everyone else. We will be the first class to graduate which has had all four years in the new high school. Our first year has been active and enjoyable. The two dances which we sponsored on December 12 and March 19 set the scene for the Rotary Christmas Dance and the Junior Prom. L. to R. Row 1: Deborah Race, Dominic Fazzio.

Johnstown Posts 7-1 Record Missing Undefeated Season By Two Points Although the Johnstown High Varsity Football Team turned out an identically great 7 -1 performance as last year, it failed to repeat as Western Conference co-champion, due to Scotia's undefeated season. However the varsity team, piloted by Jim Underwood and Ken Benton, had a great deal to be proud of, for their average point total was 27 points, compared to only 4 for the opposition, and of the 7 wins, 4 were shutouts. This, combined with a bone-jarring defense made Johnstown one of the leaders in upstate New York high school football. 1964 FOOTBALL RECORD JHS OPP, Saratoga 30 0 Scotia 12 14 Draper 31 0 Mechanicville 66 6 Ballston Spa 27 0 Burnt Hills 31 6 Amsterdam 12 6 Gloversville 6 0 It takes half the G'ville line to bring down big JUS fullback John Jurica.

JHS Co-Captains Phil Conner (64) and John Jurica look on as Gloversville Co-Captains Bob Quackenbush and Bruce Henry glance upward at the toss of the coin. Beat Gloversville!” . . . And We Did! Come ON, you guys! I'm not on tenure, you know. As always, the big Johns- town-Gloversville game was the climax of a long, hard fought campaign. But when the dust had settled this year, JHS was the winner by a 6-0 lead, the same results as last year. For the most part it was a tough de- fensive game, but it took only a few key offensive plays in the second quarter to keep the Lion's Club Trophy in JHS' treasure chest for another year. Nice form! Nate Miller boots it out of there as Keith Brookins and Bruce Henry (left) rush in to block. The two plays that cracked the game wide open were (left) Jim Samek's brilliant 51- yard run through seem ingly impossible odds, and the T. D. dive (right) by John Jurica, which his teammate had set up. This was the winning score of the game. 120 J.V.

Cross country has long been the forgotten sport” at Johnstown High, with the JHS runners being perennially over- shadowed by powerful teams from other conference schools such as Saratoga and Scotia. But with the coming of 1964 season, the tide turned and Johnstown ruled as the almost unchallenged leader in the conference, winning all of its meets with other conference teams and doing exceptionally well in the larger district runs. Although at the beginning of the season, it appeared that Johnstown's chances would be lessened considerably by the absence of star runners Mike Reardon and Pete Purdy, last year's first and second men, the appearance of such fine runners as Bill Pedrick, Jim Folmsbee, Frank Ripple, Steve Banovic, Lou Acquilla, and Joe Aldi, all making their debut this year, more than made up for the loss. Of these boys four made the first string varsity squad, and Bill Pedrick, a junior with still another year to go, emerged as the finest runner to compete under coach Ray Purcell, setting a new record of 11:37 for the 2.3 mile course, an improvement of five seconds over Pete Purdy's old mark. With such a hard core of running strength, as well as an only slightly less brilliant J. V. squad, Johnstown captured the new high school's first trophies: the Cobleskill Invitational Meet trophy, the Western Conference prize, and the Section II trophy, an unprecedented performance for a Johnstown cross country squad. In winning the Section II honors, the '64 team became the first group to represent JHS in the New York State Intersectional Run, where our boys acquit- tedthemselves by placing seventh in the state in Class B competition. Previously, the best Johnstown had been able to do was send one runner, Dick Gray, to the Intersectionals. 1964 certainly has been a big year for Coach Purcell and the entire cross country team. Our runners, competing for the first year from a new school have established what we hope will be a winning tradition for years to come. CHAMPS!

Throughout the football and basketball season the girls attended all the games and cheered our teams on to victory. Pep rallies were held in the gym and out- side the school to instill school spirit in all the stu- dents. On November 6 the annual Johnstown-Glovers- ville skit was held in the gym with great success. The W. A. Wright scholarship basketball game between the faculty and junior varsity ended the season.

In a non-conference practice session, this fine sophomore kegler did even better, smashing out a 699 triple. With over half of the varsity squad returning next year, Johnstown should have bowling strength in depth for some time to come. These boys, Jim Folmsbee, Dick Kilmer, Tom Wojciechowski, Carl Stefka, and Jim Folmsbee have good reason to beam. They have just represented New York State in the Youth Bowl- ing Association National Telegraphic Tournament and finished 17th. 130 Bob McClelland displays fine form as teammates Jack Trentelman, Dick Kilmer, and Sam Liccardi look on.

One of the toughest high school sports is skiing in general, and cross country skiing in particular. This year, the hardy members of the Boys' Ski Team, once again coached by Jim Underwood, under- went a training program which included five mile runs, extensive shaping up exercises, and long prac- tices in the field behind the high school and at Mount Royal in preparation for the meets with schools from all over the state. All of the slalom practices, the uphill treks and downhill timings paid off and the team turned in another fine performance as the record shows.

In the spring, the girls play softball and field hockey, and should have an excellent playing area when the grass sprouts on the new JHS field this spring. Like this, girls. Miss LeGere illustrates a point through her own example. The girls engage in a live- ly game of basketball in an after-school encounter.

Johnstown, New York AN AFTER WORD We come to the end of the 'first of the new years'; Recalling the 'last and the best of the old’, Closing the book that blends both in deep harmony, Now that our brief tale has almost been told. Faint grows the music but still there's an echoing As we match our step to the endless parade; Marching along to the hour of reckoning Purple our pennants in bright cavalcade. And, like the gold band that flames in the sunset, Promising truly the blue of the dawn, June's parting tears bring a nearer September To reap friendship's harvest - though we shall have gone. For, a school is as the Phoenix bird of fable; Reborn and self-renewing, ever more. Our sorrow blends with triumph, even at parting; Now, younger footfalls sound outside her door. There will be, still, gay voices in the hallways; Sweet promises to keep and hands to hold. Her sons and daughters share Her regal glory, Of Royal Purple and the Gleaming Gold. ... BY HELEN Q.
