His customs, methods and civilization have long since made way for a finer, more advanced civili- zation. The progress made has taught us the value of crude and difficult beginnings. Pioneers are necessary in every worthy achievement. With this thought in mind, we the students of the La Salle High School, like the Indians of yore, have donned the role of pioneer trail blazers in attempting, for the first time, to issue a school yearbook. We have introduced to La Salle an arc in the sphere of yearly publications, the further progress of which we confidently intrust to the classes to follow. ...-I I-... 1 5 f 3131555 1556115213 EEii if!

The circle, within which are the tepees of the four faculty advisers of our class, signifies our council. The tops of the tepees form a diamond altar, where all the guidance of the world is begun, en- couraged, and completed. The crossed arrows of the corners, constitute the harmony which must exist within every faculty group, where- as the flight of the thunder bird leaves the peace necessary for the proper and consistent leadership, which so many organizations lack. ...J L... 1 6 1' 'E L X ,X AIJIVIINISIRAIIIZIINI X I5-fl X ...aa H -. . .dwarf -Li fillli FACULTY OF LA SALLE HIGH SCHOOL CLARK I.

SENIORS The Eagle Feather Head-dress has long been used by the American Indian tribes of the Western plains as a truly significant token of merit and achievement. The Eagle feathers, used exclusively in this style of adornment, were given, one at a time, in recognition of an individual's meritorious deeds. When an Indian owned enough of these feathers he could, if he saw fit to do so, make himself the crown of glory which they represented. Thus the head-dress symbolizes the grad- uates who have merited recognition through their diligent pursuit of the courses of study which have confronted them during the past four years. The Tree symbol, on each of the four sides of the design, refers to growth and further development as they reach out in life after graduation, and the dragon fly symbol in the corners pertains to research and exploration in many fields of endeavor. The crosses on the head-dress brow band portray leadership and proper guidance, both of which are necessary for continued success in any of life's pursuits. -I I-... ...1 14 I Il' I 19 TH6 OVIGIARA 35 qgjmmml ' Zlllllf SENIOR CLASS ORGANIZATION OFFICERS lJl'6J'l.dL'I'lf .

We have all had our moments of diversion- some have found more fun in high school than others, but in our hearts, most of us have conscientiously striven to conquer our studies, the goal every student must attain. The luckier ones among us, those blest with a keen sense of humor, have found school and studies easier, but one and all we have reached the same end, the first stepping stone to success. Let us, now that we have finished the task in hand, look back on our work. We have worked persistently, guided in our moments of depression by helpful and understanding teachers. We have followed faithfully the programs which we ourselves chose as best to equip us for the struggle for position in the world of business. There was a time when each one of us felt disgusted with school work in general, when graduation seemed too remote for possibility, when books were repugnant to the eye. At this stage, the teachers comforting and understanding came to our rescue, pulled us through this Slough of Despond, and kept us on the chosen path. No doubt most of us have found, after three years of constant association, that these same teachers are really our best friends, irrespective of differences in age, wisdom, and position. Most of us do not realize that these teachers have patiently toiled over our inconsistent characters for three long years, and instead of regarding us as the hopeless individuals we must have been, cheerfully moulded us into the individuals we are today. We may well thank them, even though rather belatedly, for a service we still haven't the ability to fully comprehend. As we leave this school, our minds will be filled with regrets, not at leaving the material things, but at leaving the association, the hours we spent together, hours never to come completely back. We will always have our memories, let them be happy ones, memories it will beapleasure and ajoy to recall. Turning our reminiscences of the past to thoughts for the future, we see an opaque curtain. We are unable to prophesy what successes or failure will be ours as we travel through life. We are about to thrust our heads, or lives, here- tofore protected by home life, into the blast of the unfeeling world. The problem facing all is, shall we succeed? Have we the ambition, the perseverence, the character to choose our opportunities, or shall we get in one of life's eddies to drift about, neither a failure nor success? Let us proceed through life with head high, with confidence born of self reliance, not conceit, and conduct ourselves as well bred personalities. Let us make our dreams realities. EDWARD REICHERT, Clam Pre.ria'eni '35 ...Q 52 is T pr QJQ W g xxiwnvx CLASS HISTORY 1955 HE La Salle High School graduating class is unique in that it marks an important step toward progressive advancement in our city's educational system. We launched upon our history making career in the old Pacific Avenue School in 1950. When the class, then composed of the members of the eighth grade, assembled for the first time, little did we realize that our class was to hold the honored distinction of being the first to graduate from the splendid new building then in process of construction. Neither did we realize that our future Alma Mater would be so magnificent in its layout and equipment. Vllhen we returned to school in the fall, La Salle High was not yet fully completed, but it can be said for the student body that it bore the hammering and pounding of the workers with remarkable fortitude. Studies followed their normal course and in due time our beautiful school was entirely finished. A feature which highly pleased everyone was the recreational facilities. No small bit of joy accompanied our first dive into the modernly equipped pool, and it was difhcult for us to suppress our astonishment when we entered the auditorium for the first time. During our freshman year here we participated in a musical comedy, The Lady of the Terrace which has been by far the best production ever presented at our school. The year 1952 also witnessed the birth of our school newspaper, The Griffon, appropriately named in honor of the ship which La Salle built on the banks of the Niagara. Iune soon rolled around bringing with it our first regents. These we under- went with various degrees of success. However, for a long time prior to this we had been planning for that eventful day, Commencement, and had elected as officers of our class the following: President-Iames Websterg Vice President- Kenneth Kinsey 5 Secretaryhlfdward Reichert. It was then that our class first worked as a unit toward a mutual goal. Iune 2, we received our diplomas with congratulations from Dr. Taylor and Mr. Peet. We take considerable pride in the fact that we are the first class to have graduated from both Iunior and Senior High School at La Salle. In September, 1952, we returned to school as full-fledged high school students. During this year, our school played its first basketball schedule and basketball is now the king of sports at La Salle. May Day was also inaugurated, although it was far from being a finished product. However, we perceived that this would become an annual event of increasing importance. We also decided that it would be confined to the Sophomore and Iunior Classes. Another vacation gone and another year of hard studying ahead. Our school had finally begun to take its place among the leaders of Western New York. The progress of the school newspaper can be measured by the fact that its ninth grade yearbook won an award at the Buffalo Converftion of School Newspapers. ...qi 55 ig... gal? TH CLASS HISTORY 1955 f Coniinuea' ln order to display our talent in music, Miss Gray staged an operetta called The Pied Piper of Hamelinu in 1954. This received the well-deserved praise and whole-hearted support of everybody. On May 18, we held our second May Day, which has been incorporated as a feature of our school year. 1t seems that in May, the strain of school life becomes greater than at any other time during the year, with reviewing for Iune exams in full swing. May Day has been found to be an ideal time for students to get that pause that refreshes. Last year, we elaborated considerably on the festival of the year before. The big feature was a parade, in which each Sophomore and Iunior homeroom had an entry. After this followed athletic contests, wound up by a thrilling ball game. According to the system of points arranged, the cup, which lV1r. L. E. Shrack kindly donated, went to the Iuniors. This was only natural, for we were the Iuniors. A dance in the evening rang down the curtain on the best day that any of us has ever spent at La Salle. Though the end of our Iunior Year was near, we did not know where we were to complete our high school course. We were given to understand that a com- plete high school in La Salle was being prevented only because of lack of funds and lack of demand. So the more progressive members of our class saw an opening and succeeded in stirring up popular sentiment for a high school here by circulating petitions throughout the section. The efforts of this group of students accom- plished their purpose, for they managed to have our question presented at a meeting of the Board of Education, and as a result a senior year of high school for La Salle was budgeted. Ultimately we were informed, to our boundless joy, that we could complete our secondary education at La Salle. Last fall we began our senior year, destined to be the most significant of them all. The class first met in December and selected the following officers: President iEdward Reichert, Vice PresidentfDorothy Burch, Secretary-Dorothy Iayne, Treasurer-Iames Dawson, Faculty AdviserflV1rs. Graham. After organization, we commenced to give our earnest and enthusiastic attention to preparation for graduation. Committees were appointed to take care of necessary business, including choosing the ring, motto, colors, and flower and to make plans for Commencement. Blue and silver were adopted as the class colors, the yellow tea rose as our flower, and Aspirat Primo Fortuna Laborin meaning Fortune smiles upon our first attempt as our motto. The senior play, Advice is Free, presented on the eleventh and twelfth of April, will always be remembered as a highlight of our High School Days. Now, as we leave these portals to go on in the pursuit of our separate destinies, we look back upon the past four years with a feeling of friendliness. To leave our present school life for the trying experiences of life's school in times such as our country is witnessing, requires undaunted courage, confidence and a deter- mination that knows no defeat. The road we shall travel may lead us in different directions, but the trust placed in us by our Alma Mater will spur us on to ultimate success. NORMA RICHARDSON, Claw Hwiorzan ...4 54 ly... 'Y 19 THG GVIGIARA 35 Q-L ..... MEZZ ! -A ' - CLASS PROPHECY 1955 HE warm spring sunshine, accompanied by a fresh-smelling breeze, made me feel drowsy as it filtered through the open window of study hall. I had somehow reached the third act of Macbeth, and there my mind revolted. I felt that I could no longer concentrate on the play, although we were going to have a test on it. Again I tried to force my thoughts back to the book. Let's seep where was I? Oh, yes, it was the night following the banquet at Macbeth's palace. In a cavern, far removed from the haunts of men, three witches were busy brewing a horrible compound for some dark and evil purpose. In the center of the cavern, around a boiling cauldron, the weird sisters circled in a grotesque dance, each turning to fling some foul ingredient into the seething kettle. As they danced, these wise midnight hags croaked a discordant chant Double, double, toil and trouble: Fire burn and cauldron bubble. When the long, slow cadences had died away there came a knock at the cavern entrance. Who dares to seek an entrance to this enchanted den? Surely someone of great courage. The door swings open to admit a young man who, garbed in cap and gown, carries a diploma. He speaks: I am the class of 1955. I would know my future. What can your magic foretell, wise sibyls? In her droning voice, the first witch uttered an incantation as she cast an additional charm into the cauldron. Immediately, a flash of light dissipated the hazy gray of the cave. From a cloud of mist and steam, there suddenly appeared a beautiful city. The well kept streets, magnificent buildings, and splendid parks amazed the youth, yet he could not help sensing some familiarity in the scene that met his gaze. A small building attracts his attention by a stylish neon sign Madame Dee Fisch, Exclusive Designer. One would expect to find many women in the shop, but there are only a few. Dorothy Jayne, Eleanor Sappington fnow a famous journalistj, and Dee herself. As of old, the majority of her patrons are men- Duke McDonell being the most prominent. The adjoining building is Iim Dawson's We-get-em-to-buy advertising firm. Within, seated at a large table, is Barbara Palmiter making a picture of Ida Garth Doom for the Southern Smile Toothpaste Company, which com- pany, by the way, is headed by a shining example-Dick Nlansfield. At another table, Emma Hiller is industriously printing a sign for Hotel Ongiaran whose proprietors are George Iennings and Sons. For some reason, George Hodges is walking around with a broom while Iohn Shandley dusts a statue of Venus de Milo for the third time. P S The city hall is the next object of interest. It is very beautiful and it is not difficult to see why everyone who works there is busy. Seated behind the mayor's desk, with his feet adorning the top ofit, is the Honorable Edward Iohn Reichert, lazily giving dictation Cin between ah's and er'sj to Nina McDonald, his private secretary, who is vigorously chewing teaberry gum. In the outer office are Norma Richardson, Ierry Smith, VeNorma Pierce and Dorothy Gray, the latter entertaining the others with details of her last nightfs date with the city clerk, Bill Brenseke. -..I 1-... 1 55 f 19 THE- OFIGIARA 35 -fi. i ..,,... . f f mm-vffie We f CLASS PROPHECY 1955 - Continued A very modernistic building is next to the city hall. It is the telephone exchange. At the switch board are seen Fay McMonagle and Gladys Murphy tkeep plugging, girlsj. La Salle High School is nearby and seated comfortably in an overstuffed chair, is the principal, Norm Nickerson factually workingD. He is interrupted by Doris Schul's inquiries as to whether the truant oliicer should be sent after some missing students. On the teachers' register there are many familiar names: Grace Olsen+Frenchg Elizabeth Stamps and Ralph Olson-Physical directors, Betty Richardson-supervisor of music, Ellen Kuntz-English, Evelyn Shardon -History, and Iane Ponder, who has attained her goal of surpassing Mrs. Wright-Latin. Margery Robertson is the school librarian, and Frieda Hart is the dietician fthe city just had to do something for Mr. Fabiano's indigestionj. At this point the second witch threw more charms into the cauldron and again there was a roll of thunder. This time the scene changed to another city where Sid Fenton, the owner of a very fashionable night club has the laugh on lim Webster, the orchestra leader, because he can fire him instead of vice versa. Others in the orchestra are Iames Ellis, Iimmy Nickerson, and lack Young. Heading the entertainment bill are Aileen White, giving imitations of Ginger Rogers, Edna Reid, blues singer, and Margaret Saffire, accomplished pianist. Hung from the night club to a bank across the street, is an election sign asking the public to send Ken Kinsey to Congress. His motto A full dinner pail for all the always did like to eatj. In the bank, a couple of newlyweds, Charles Chesterfield and Dorothy Burch, are asking Millie Seefeldt for their savings, in preparation for their honeymoon. Un the side, Teller Iohn Cowley is giving them some advice on marriage. In a hospital not far away, Mae Vair is seen supervising the undergraduate nurses, Mildred Camann, Gertrude Watson, Alice Smith, Betty Young, and Dorothy Hawkes. A very prosperous undertaking establishment has arisen since the girls began training to be nurses. It is headed by a well known em- balmist, Winnie Schworm. The next building of prominence is the newspaper office where Edmund Nowakowski is supervising editor and Donald Mains is covering the society column. Dorothy Dean and Andrina Cockburn are taking care of the Daily Diet section. Genevieve Vanderlip and Emily Andrews are pounding type- writers and racking their brains. wk bk wk bk FK Pk Ik bk As the cloud of steam condensed into the air, the third witch spoke to the young nlanf Ay, sir, all this is so, but why Stands the youth thus amazedly?

FIRST, We bequeath to the Iunior Class the exclusive right to occupy our section of seats in the front of the Assembly, and our places in the cafeteria, where we enjoyed the last lunch period of the day, only to find the remains of the lunches of our predecessors on the tables and chairs, and the diluted soups and left-overs of hash and desserts, which were often served us. We also leave them the right to sign their own report cards, write their own excuses, and cheer with their lusty voices, the lighting teams of La Salle. To the class of 1956, we leave our love for Latin and Physics, our rapid dictation and transcribing of Shorthand, our desire to attain more knowledge of History and our fond and loving remembrances of English Class. SECOND, to you dear Sophomores, we leave just two more years in which to prepare yourselves to go out into the world and spread La Salle's fame throughout this continent. We also grant you permission to do homework in the library with six persons at a table tifyou can get away with itj, and the right to smuggle love stories, wild west stories, candy and peanuts into study hall. THIRD, We bequeath to Mr. Peet and the faculty of the La Salle High School, our good natures to help them to carry on with their future students who we hope will be as industrious, intelligent and as happy-go-lucky as the students they are losing. FOURTH, to Mrs. Graham, our faculty adviser, we leave our sincere thanks for her kind cooperation and guidance, which helped us to emerge from La Salle High School, as the successful and prosperous graduating class of 1935. FIFTH, Wle make the following special bequests: 1. To Carol Morrison, the torch which Edward Reichert so ably carried as leader of his class. 2. To Lillian Schelosky and VVesley Hilts, the undying affection of Dorothy Burch and Charles Chesterfield. 5. To Harry Hartley and lack Fesmire, the skill of Ralph Olson and Shorty Iennings in mastering basketball. 4. To any Iunior who is good at languages, Ida Garth Doom's southern accent. 5. To Billy Richert, Duke McDonell's dwarfish stature. 6. To Eleanor Larrabee, Iames Dawson's ability to put over the Griffon. 7. To Ronald Batley, Harold Thompson's popularity with the fairer sex. 8. To Bob Millville, Betty Richardsoxfs active part in all school functions. 9. To Harry Hansen, Kenneth Kinsey's strong will-power to refrain from eating sweets. 10.

A matinee performance was also given on April ll. The theme of the play dealt with the transformation of lean Perkins, the younger sister, who because of her devotion to books and interest in real estate, knew nothing of the world of romance. Her older sister Sylvia, who was too sophisticated for her own good, was never so happy as when she had four or tive men on the string at the same time. Sylvia's contemptible treatment of Boyce lWcGhee, a home town boy, fired lean with the resolution to show her sister a thing or two by taking Boyce away from her. Her brother, Bob, when he learned of her plan, was all for it and offered her what he considered good advice. She sought advice from her parents and even listened to some from Sylvia, who thought it all a huge joke. Sylvia, meanwhile, was busying herself with a cosmopolitan young gentleman from New York, named Iackson Acuff. Iean's most valuable advice came from Ella, the colored maid. Through various complexities of the plot Iean emerged a new girl and won the love of Boyce. Sylvia found herself cast aside even by Iackson, who deplored her lack of finesse. The under-plot concerned Bob's infatuation with a visiting friend, Olive Reynolds, and his tragically funny actions when Iaclison won her hand. YVe wish especially to commend Naomi VVright for her sympathetic portrayal of lean and also Barbara Palmiter for throwing herself whole-heartedly into the difficult mother role.

The Tree symbolizes growth and develop- ment towards maturity and graduation. The Mountains allude to certain heights of attainment or peaks of development. The Tepee, or Council Lodge, illustrates the source of knowledge, advice, or further instruction and philosophy necessary for continued mental development. The Horse Tracks shown in the four corners of this design denote the well- beaten path of travel in life and knowledge which is outlined in the courses of study yet unfinished by those who have not grad- uated. Philosophically, the entire design applies to the undergraduates. ...4 42 5...

Cuteness this prove true upon the occasion of the graduation of two sxxsxm 4 uw TO THE N INTH GRADE GRADUATING CLASS N a school where both the junior and senior high school grades are found, it must be apparent that each group of students is equally important to the institution. No particular attention school the scholastic of each class possess Particularly does one class may be pointed out or chosen as the object of or favor. To the students, to the teachers, and to the activities, the intramural sports, the extra-curricular events equal value. classes, the Ninth Grade and the Seniors. There may be a tendency to consider the occasion and the ceremonies connected with the graduation of the Ninth Grade Class of lesser importance than those of the Senior Class. This conclusion is entirely unfounded. May we emphasize to you, Ninth Graders, the great opportunities and great responsibilities that are offered to you by your graduation from junior high school. Before you lies a more developed, a broader field of education. To some of you this may be your last educational preparation for work and life. For others of you this may prove to be the groundwork for a college education. But to all of you is presented a field of greater knowledge, of greater mental activity, of greater cultural value. For these reasons, therefore, the importance and value of your junior high school education and graduation must be clear. To you, Ninth Graders, may we offer our commendations for your good work. May we congratulate you upon your graduation. Unbounded opportunity lies before you. May you seize this opportunity and make the most of itl OUR COLORS HERE is a definite charm about our class colors, Blue and Gold. Blue is said to be significant of unvarying sincerity. The expression True Blue means loyalty. We have been trying to develop these very char- acteristics in the Personality Campaign this year in our school. Gold is the color of many beautiful flowers as well as the name of a precious metal which can neither rust nor corrode. Let gold to us stand for unalterable determination to make our lives worth while. We are promoted now to the senior high school. Let us carry with us the meaning of the Blue and Gold. OUR CLASS FLOWER E, the Junior graduating class chose the pink carnation for our class flower, both for its beautiful color and its delicate fragrance. The carnation belongs to an old and honorable family known among the botanists as the Dianthus Caryophyllacae. They were first found growing in the countries bordering the Mediterranean. They have spread through the world and, responding to cultivation, have developed a great variety of colors. The carnation was Shakespeare's favorite flower. Wilder, the horticulturist says Carnations belong to Iune and are of all her belongings the sweetest.

Poets have proclaimed it and we, ourselves, know that it is very true. All difficulties can be overcome, no matter how impossible they may seem. We, at this very time, have in our own hands, the fate of our destinies. Some of us, in fact a great many of us, we hope, are shaping our futures now in the right way. Others do not realize the truth and importance of our motto. Longfellow in his A Psalm of Life said: Life is reall Life is earnestl And the Grave is not its goal, Dust thou art, to dust returnest, Was not spoken of the soul. Some excellent examples are found in the lives of great men. The late Theodore Roosevelt overcame his physical weakness and achieved great fame. There are many others who have risen above great difficulties. Let us then be up and doing, With a heart for any fate, Still achieving, still pursuing, Learn to labour and to wait. RUTH FRANTZ GIRLS' SPORTS UR Physical Education Department offers swimming, gym, games, sports, stunts, tumbling, and dancing. These activities are not only a benefit to the students now, but in later life they will prove a blessing in health, recreation and happiness. They insure normal mental and physical development. Under the careful supervision of Miss McDougall, good sportsmanship is fostered, students learn to be generous winners as well as cheerful losers. Activities opened for the year with tennis in which the championship was won by Iean McNeill who defeated Ianet Palone in the finals. Volley ball followed, with the 9D girls as runners-up and the 9C group as winners. Badmin- ton, in which Anita Spence and Evelyn Sherman were the winners of a double championship, was played with great enthusiasm. The Stunt meet, an innovation this year proved to be a successg and, as an assembly program, was most enthusiastically received. Captain ball was won by the 9C's while the 9B and the 9D groups tied for second place. Hand ball, a new and recently introduced game for which 75 girls have registered, will hold a tournament which is not as yet arranged. ...4 52 9... 19 THE OHGIARA 35 q ,,,,, ,,,u , J' 'f f e ' 3' THE SWIMMING MEET T the ninth grade girls' swimming meet, on April 5, each group partici- pated in the ring rela.y. The 9A's won first place, the 9C's secondg and the 9E's third. Both challenge and optional stunts were performed. Isobel McEvoy and Grace Clarkson executed the challenge stunt for the 9C'sg Doris Decker, Evelyn Sherman and Ianet Stone represented their group, the 9A's5 the same skillful trio performed the optional stunt. Rita Pierson, Helen Connolly and Marguerite Irving entered for the 9E's. Ruth Dulaney was the winner in throwing the life-saver for the 9C's. The thrilling flutter board event gave the 9C's first place, the 9E's second place and the 9A's third pla.ce. In the swimming relay a difficult stroke was used by each member of the contending tea ms. The 9A's were the winners. Three persons from each team were selected to perform three dives eachg a front, a jackknife, and an optional dive. Three girls were selected for the side stroke, the American crawl, the back crawl and the surface dive. The following scores were attained: Q15 9C'S . . . . 2595 Q25 9A's . . 201 Q55 9E'S . 175 IUNIOR HIGH SCHOOL BOYS' SPORTS URING the 1954-55 season one hundred and seventy-nine boys partici- pated in intramural basketball. Sixteen homeroom teams took part in the thirty-Hve games that were played, at the rate of four a night, during the course of the season. The games were played in a round robin tournament in which each home- room team played all of the other teams in its grade. The 7C's captured the championship of the seventh grade by defeating the 7F team by a score of nine to one in the playoffs. In the eighth grade playoffs, the SC team vanquished the 8B's by a score of six to Hve. No playoffs were necessary in the ninth grade, as the 9C team won a majority of the games, and automatically rose to a championship position. The officials for the games were chosen by Coach Krum from the varsity basketball squad. The Iunior High School boys wish to thank these varsity players for their fine support in oliiciating at the games. More interest was shown in the inter-class basketball than in touch-tackle football or volley ball this year, because the boys who took part wanted to gain as much experience in basketball as possible in order to increase their chances of obtaining a position on the squad when they reach Senior High School. In volley ball, an elimination tournament was played, The teams had to win their games in order to remain in the league because the loss of a game meant the finish of the team as far as the league was concerned. Six classes entered teams from the seventh and eighth grades and the ninth grade entered five teams. The teams that won championship titles in basketball again displayed their superiority by winning the highest positions in the volley ball elimination tournament. Both the swimming meet and the softball tournament are future events which are anticipated with great enthusiasm. BERTIL OLSEN -7 3-... ...,i 55 I g. ATHLETICS This is an important phase of any system of training because it develops both body and mind. Athletics promote physical strength, speed, and endurance. Those who take part therein benefit not only from the improvement of physical strength but also from the reaction of physical fitness on mental faculties. The healthy body promotes a healthy, thinking mind whereas the weak, unhealthy body reduces the possibilities of keen and alert thought and actions. Hence this design, representing the sub- ject, shows first of all the symbol of strength. It is the pack Horse and Saddle design or symbol used as the center piece. As the Kite or Hawk is a very swift bird in flight, its symbol is shown on the four sides to represent speed. In all athletic competition and activities, time plays an all important part, so the Hour Glass symbol is shown in the corners. ...Ji L... 1 54 r 'P .srwiuma V N ULN 19 THE OTIGIARA 35 ' 'XT.i.wu'1Imunn : .,,,,,,, mm, ff' K' f mmm m www 4911111 BASKETBALL TEAM Front Row left to right'-'lack Camann, Jack Fesmire, Ralph Olson, Norman Nickerson, Harry Hartley, - 1 George Iennmgs, James 11 cluster Top Row 'Coach Krum, lack Bragg, Yvallacc Mcllunell, Harry Mirrath, Roy Cooper, llcrlmcrt Mzxrtan, Mr. Baxter. 1954-1955 BASKETBALL TEAM FTER two previous years of competition, La Salle assumed a senior high school status, and, its team playing a long and difficult schedule, made a record of which all loyal adherents cannot but he proud. The team turned in eleven victories and nine defeats, scoring a total of 491 points to their opponents 458. The high tide of their success was reached in the first encounter with the Niagara Falls High School when they came out on the top of a 16-15 score, though the strong Hghts put up in the City Tournament with Trott, St. Mary's and Niagara Falls High further stamp them as a factor to be reckoned with in future Niagara Falls basketball com- petition. The leading scorer was Wallace McDonell with Norman Nickerson and Roy Cooper contending closely for second place, but the ability of the quintet as a whole is a tribute to Coach Milton Krum's stress on team rather than individual play.

TH QLQRA BQWGE, INTRAMURAL SPORTS 1954-1955 ONSIDERABLE headway was made during the year in the development of intramural activities. lnter-class basketball created much interest among the boys of the school. More than 150 turned out for the games and to those from Room 560 goes the honor of establishing the best record. Touch football was substituted for soccer during the year with favorable results. Here also, more than 150 boys took an active part and there was much evidence of lively interest. Honors in touch football competition went to Room 507 with Room 556 not far behind. Much credit for the success of these activities goes to Mr. Peet and Coach Krum. Their endeavors were a constant source of stimulation and interest. GI RLS' SPORTS ERHAPS the girls' sports do not seem important to outsiders, for they very seldom have the opportunity to see what is being accomplished. However, if one considers the number of entries in all the sports played, he will realize that the gymnasium plays a very large part in the school curriculum. Here, the girls are able to compete with each other for their own enjoyment and the sportsmanship which it affords. School letters are awarded to girls earning at least 500 credits each year. These credits may be acquired by playing on teams, officiating at games and being leaders. Plans are now in progress to have archery on the program for next spring. There were many participants in the tennis tournament. ln the finals Elizabeth Stamps won over Ruth Kaumeyer. This was the first year the girls played on outside courts. Soccer, handball, stunt meets, and golf, tried for the first time this year, proved successful. Badminton is steadily gaining favor among the girls. The honors for the doubles were carried off by Ioan Callahan and Clara Krieger. Competition is always great in Captain Ball and Volley Ball. The Reid-Herl team won the highest number of games in Captain Ball, while the Mort-Malouf team headed the list for Volley Ball. Handball had 92 contestants from the Senior High School, the greatest number ever to participate in any sport. Handball is a sport in which one can get a good workout in a short time. Anyone may enter the annual swimming meet held in the spring. The girls are divided into teams of equal strength. This year's teams are headed by Elizabeth Stamps, Luella Watters, Emma Hiller, and Corrinea Holmes. ...z 1..- 1 57 f G39 W g. ORGANIZATIONS One of the important essentials toward the success of any organization and its activities, is constructive development based upon a systematic plan. The Beetle is one of the best workers along this line and man can take a good many lessons from him. The Ancient Romans featured Qrganization with a design of the Beetle g so we find it among the American Indian designs used to symbolize the same thing. The center piece of this design represents the Beetle. Any organization should be so governed and protected that its success is safeguarded at all times from the evil influences which are ever present and tend to break down or destroy it. Thus the Arrow shown on the four sides indicates protection. There is a ceaseless demand for enlighten- ment on the numerous problems which con- front any organization, and in order to promote its welfare there must be neither darkness nor secrecy among its members. The four corners of this design show the sun-star symbol which alludes to light, its source and development throughout man's entire span of life. The eight points of the star represent the four stages of life: In- fancy, Youth, Maturity, and Old Age, and the four paths of travel: North, East, South and Wlest. -..f 58 5... 19 TH6 OVIGIARA 35 , wktxxx Front Rowffleft to rightfDouglas Buchanan, William Ford, Carol Morrison, Nellie Wakefield, Audrey Kapke, Dorothy Miller, lane Rumsey, Gertrude Einsfeld, Alice Burden, Paul Stolzenfcls.

THE SENIOR COUNCIL OF LA SALLE SENIOR HIGH SCHOOL 1954-1955 NDER the capable guidance of Mrs. W1'ight, the QI-Iigh Schoolj Student Council accomplished many things during this school year. Most notable among these were the campaign for bleachers and the purchase of a school radio. The Council was composed of the very best of the school's student leaders, and it very effectively fulfilled its capacity as a link between the student body and the faculty. Many ideas were put forth in this body which, as important factors, will be incorporated into school life in the years to come. As the outlet for the student's viewpoints, this organization takes its place as one of the most important institutions at La Salle High School. OFFICERS Prewzlienl . . . . .

SOCIAL COMMITTEE HE Social Committee, organized tor the first time in 1955, has succeeded in sponsoring one evening dance about every month. Good attendance on each occasion showed that the dances were pleasing to the student body. Several afternoon dances were given with various degrees ot success. During the last year the committee has been fortunate in having a school orchestra to play at the dances. Betty lane Richardson, Ann Cromley and Eleanor Sappington were in charge of all decorations. They tried to make the decorations correspond with the seasons and in this, were quite successful. They were aided by Miss Elizabeth Wallace, social committee faculty adviser, while the boys on the committee took care of more practical details. lames Webster made a very capable and efficient chairman in his job of managing the dances. .-I I-... ..,l 61 I -fs, 1 Q I H . xskexxx Front Rowfleft to rightfcverald Moore, Iohn Hamilton, Marion Williams- -News Editor, Mary De Lilio --ftypist, Emma Hiller'fArt, Alverta Brettel, Lillian Phillips, Anita Spencefrlunior Editor, Mary Alice McGreen4Ass't.

THE GRIFFON STAFF HE Griffon Staff under the direction of Mrs. Davis and Miss Ruth Miller, produced seven regular issues of the Griffon and one special edition called l'The Easter Bonnet. The Griffonn took part in the inter-scholastic Press association at Buffalo and Syracuse. The Junior page proved a successful innovation, largely through the hard work of Anita Spence. Mrs. Davis, class in Journalism aided The Griffon staff with material and suggestions. Miss Mildred Murphy and Iames Dawson managed the Griffon's business affairs so efhciently that a small profit was realizedg this was done in spite of the depression and the fact that no advertising matter can appear in the school newspaper. This year the Griffon became a four column paper instead of the three column sheet of former years. A new head, designed by Richard Stone and drawn by Herbert Dye, also appeared for the top of the first page. Next year an experienced and enthusiastic staff, headed by Geraldine O'Shea, plans many improvements for The Griffon. ...4 62 5... 19 THQ OTIGIAPIA 35 T KWSN IUNIOR COUNCIL HE Iunior Council was organized the year our school opened. It is com- posed ofthe president and vice-president of each homeroom who serve for one term. The officers ofthe council are chosen hy the junior high school as a whole. The nomination convention, campaign, and election of these officers are usually excitingly contested. The officers serve for a school year. This year the Iunior Council sponsored the buying and selling of school pen- nantsg it assisted in carrying out a campaign for the improvement of personality and at all times has tried to promote Scholarship, citizenship and sportsmanship.

SERIAL NO. 0 SERTOCUARY 49, 1595 PRICE 0 CENTS Former President to Carry Out Famous Project ,. .lg ' EDITORIAL Attention, studentsl This is a plea for bigger and better chiselers. It concerns the carving on the desks, especially on those in the study hall. Of course, carving on desks in the class- rooms is important too, but as the study hall is used by every- one, whether he is a college entrance, academic or commer- cial student, this editorial is more concerned with the carving in that room. Now all of you have noticed the various carvings, usually initials or nicknames, with occasionally a problem in in addition or division. It does not take much to conclude that most of these carvings are un- interesting to look at and detract from the appearance of the desk. This is a plea for more decorative carvings. If you are chiseling out a name for yourself, make the letters even and artistic. Perhaps a shy cherub would add to it. If you are working out a problem in algebra with a com- pass point, please do it correctly. It's so annoying to find a mistake in these desk hiero- glyphics and not be able to erase it. Don't you think this suggestion worth trying? All posterity will thank you for interesting and unique carvings that subtly bring out the per- sonality and character of the chiseler. Can you imagine Geraldine Smith without Aileen White or Aileen White without Winnie Schworm or Winnie Schworm without Mildred Seefeldt or Mildred Seefeldt without Nina lVIcDonaId or Nina lVIcDonald without Andrina Cockburn or Andrina Cockburn without Ger- trude Watson or Gertrude Wat- son without Geraldine Smith or Miss Miller not yelling at all seven of them in the library third period? Miss Miller can'tll Iudge in the Dentist Chair: Do you swear to pull the tooth, the whole tooth, and nothing but the tooth? It is with great pleasure, stated Mr. Ragg, in answer to our demon reporter, that I announce to you that my fondest hopes are soon to be realized. 'Not TomorrowAbut Soon.' He spoke in regard to the long-awaited recreational park to be built across from our dear old Alma Mater. Ever since the spring of '55, Mr. Ragg has been a zealous supporter and an untiring worker for this project. I am sorry, Mr. Ragg went on to state, that we will not be here to enioy the benefits of this park, but it is a great satisfaction to know that those who come after us will remember me as the great benefactor to their happi- ness. The plans for this new park have not as yet been made public, but we feel that we are safe in stating the following: Wide steps will lead down to a lawn, leveled off and planted with excellent grass seed. On the left, a dance pavilion will be erected, where students can wile away the noon hour to the strains of a ten-piece band. Numerous refreshment stands, where ice-cream, soda, pop and candy can be had free, will surround the building, and for the non-dancers a Bingo tent, with attractive prizes, will be erected. There will be huge shade trees under which students can find refuge on hot days. The right side of the park will have a beach of imported white sand, with an adequate board walk and a dock, on which will be diving boards at various heights. Attractive dressing rooms with hot and cold showers are also to be constructed. Of course, Mr. Ragg said, the park is not expected to detract from the regular school curriculum. It is just for the student's leisure time at the noon-hour. I am sure it will prove successful. When you are looking for a helping hand, just glance at the end of your arm. J L... ...i 72 I RIOT SQUAD QUELLS BRAWL IN FAMOUS DOWNTOWN CAFE GREAT DISTURBANCE Iune--At 5 A. M. this morn- ing the neighborhood was aroused by the screaming sirens of our trusty and efficient riot squad, headed by Iames Marmaduke Dawson. On arriving at Fritz Garver's famous and exclusive cafe of Cayuga Drive ton the Creekl the squadders rushed in, and after good opposition lasting all of fifteen minutes, they broke up a riot raging in the spacious grill-room. Many unconscious and seri- ously wounded persons were rushed to the hospital, while others were treated on the scene of the battle. The police were unable to ascertain just who were innocent bystanders caught in the confusion, and who were original participants. Many have not, as yet, been identified but among the notorious charac- ters held for questioning were: Wally McDo11elI, alias Duke the Ducky, no address, Iimmy fTootsD Ellis, no address: Podge Hodges, no addressg Don tButchl Mains, no address. Most of these men are well known in official circles and great develop- ments are expected to evolve from the questioning. tContinued on page 21 DEFINITIONS A principal is a man who knows a very little about a great deal, and keeps knowing less and less about more and more, until he knows practically nothing about everything. A teacher, on the other hand, is a person who knows a great deal about very little, and goes along knowing more and more about less and less, until finally he knows practically everything about nothing. A student starts out knowing a little something about some things but ends up 'knowing nothing about nothing due to his association with the principal and teachers.

Edgar Beaumont Phelps, one of those slightly injured, gives this story: As I was sitting off by myself drinking my lemonade, two strange men near me began arguing over a game of lotto for maybe it was parcheesej. One of them struck the other. This seemed to be the signal for a general free-for- all. So, having no special cause for grievance, I found a snug corner and lay low.
