Our likes and activities have been varied and numerous, and it is this fact which gives our class its individual personality. Each one of us has had a definite part in the e drama of serious learning and study. We had our lighter moments, too, and $ these, with the rest, are recorded in our school’s history. It isthe desire of the Senior Class to present in our yearbook the everyday drama of school _ Ше, with its humor and seriousness, excitement and routine, just as it hap- of Lancaster High School, Lancaster, New York.

Without such assistance and teamwork, the Seniors could not have produced this book. We feel, however, that our annual can take its place with confidence among the excellent Cayugans that have preceded it. re SHOW of “ % кезен UAE ¥ “КА, SENIOR OFFICERS Miss Etta Van Name, senior class adviser; Eric Selch, vice-president; Anthony Gallo, president; Peter Modaffari, treasurer; Norma Gerlach, secretary Ps С И understanding of students’ wishes.

Our activities in the ninth grade were not numerous, but the Junior High School play and our gradu- ation from Junior to Senior High School marked our birth as a class. In 1945 under the leadership of Miss Van Name, our adviser, we selected Conduct and Courage Lead to Но� ог”” as our class motto. We chose forest green and white as our class colors and the gardenia as our class flower. The first money-raising projects were the Sophomore Hop and the sale of magazines. The most important event of our third year in high school was our memor- able Junior Prom, a May pole festival. Then came the year we had all been anxiously waiting for: we were Sen- iors at last. Like all good things, our senior year passed so rapidly that now its events are just memories. The first class project in our senior year was our play, “Tish,” which was considered a popular success. With the increased cost of the yearbook we found it necessary to promote a Christmas card sale besides the sale of station- егу. Our annual Senior Ball, a happy occasion, brought us to the climax of our high school days, our graduation--a small word, with a deep meaning for all of us. What our efforts were in the past will have a great bearing in our future lives. The years in Lancaster High will always be remembered as our best. So to all our teachers and fellow pupils, we say “Au Revoir.

Football Summary GRIDDERS COMPILE EVEN RECORD The football team enjoyed а moderately successful sea- son with victories over Sloan, Depew, Pine Hill and West Seneca. However, they suffer- ed defeats at the hands of Akron, East Aurora, Hamburg and Amherst. The Amherst and West Seneca games were played since the last issue of this paper. The Amherst 21-0 win was highlighted by a 65- yard jaunt by Berger, who al- so kicked three extra points. “Beans” Lume’s place kick after Dewey Rohl’s touchdown brought victory over West Seneca. This game was tough- er than the team expected. Scores of all the games are: Lancaster 12; Sloan 0. Lancaster 0; Akron 13. Lancaster 0; East Aurora 6. Lancaster 0; Hamburg 30. Lancaster 7; Depew 0. 44 THE JOY OF BEING A REPORTER Getting out this paper is no picnic. If we print jokes, people say we are Silly; If we don’t, they say we are too serious. If we clip things from other magazines We are too lazy to write them ourselves; If we don’t, we are too fond of our own stuff. If we don’t print contribu- tions, we don’t appreciate their genius. If we do print them, the pap- er is filled with junk. Now, like as not, someone will say We swiped this from some other magazine— Well, we did! L. H. S. RETAILING COOPS CLUB What is it?

SENIOR PLAY “ 5� ксы Ke 3 A wi. SENIOR CLASS SCORES HIT WITH COMEDY ПЕН Again this year, the Senior Class came up with a hit play, “Tish,” presented November 14 and 15 in the high school auditorium, under the direc- tion of Miss Zuber. The reaction of the audi- ence was most favorable, as it was acclaimed by all who saw it, as one of the best plays ever staged in the high school one laugh followed close up- on another. “Tish” Carberry, the main character, played so well by Ruth Link, was an “old maid” who was very adept at getting into trouble, and always man- aged to get her two friends, Aggie and Lizzie involved. Aggie, played by Marjorie Sandel, was the typical “old maid”—tall and skinny. She is best remembered for her hayfever, which caused her to sneeze throughout the play, and her false teeth, which she always seemed to be losing. Lorraine Basinski, playing the well padded Lizzie, was a big favorite with the audience getting laughs every time she came on stage because of her overstuffed appearance and dry, matter of fact manner. Charita, the slow, shuffl- ing, stupid, Mexican maid, was received with much laughter, especially by those who knew her to be Alice Gawron. Alice, made to look twice her size, was perfect as the maid whose main line was a very loud “UGH.” “Dick” Young had the au- dience roaring with his por- trayal of Sheriff Lem Pike, the romantically inclined bachelor sheriff. Lem’s expert aim at the spitoon also pro- vided many laughs. Most of the action of this play, which took place in a hotel and lunch room combin- ed, started when “Tish” fi- nally arrived, after nav ing driven through the plate glass window across the street. The owner, Luthur Hopkins, de- manded damages, which then the battle was on. Events moved fast. When the hotel safe.was looted, “Tish” was certain that she knew where the stolen money was hidden, а� а. dragged Aggie along to Start the search. The result of that search was that “Tish” took Aggie up in the air in Charlie’s plane, lost control of the plane, dropped Aggie off on the roof of the barn, and soared up again on the fol- lowing day. Newspaper head- lines proclaimed that a lone, female spy had been sighted flying over Mexico, and “Tish” became the center of interna- tional complications. There was great suspense and ex- citement, with many laughs, right up to the final curtain. The Senior Class wishes to thank Mr. Schermerhorn and Mr. Kemp for providing the fine musical entertainment between acts. They also wish to thank all the faculty mem- bers and students who in any way lent asisstance and help- ed to make the play such a great success. | | a 1 ak 1st row: 2nd row: 3rd row: 4th row: Standing: Ё DISCUSSION CLUB Basinski, Falconer, Frankiewich, Kavanaugh Hinsken, Gilligan, Smeja, Greis, Horn, Pieper Patrignani, Possehl, Berg, Snyder, Robbins Kessel, Budzynski, Schneider, Ciszewski, Young, Selch Miss Cowan, P.

L. H. S. lost many of its veterans this year making it difficult for the team to break into the winning column. я Several of the standouts for Lancaster during Ше season were Monin at center field, Мору Townsend as pitcher, and Barney Matteson at third base. The season's highlight was the defeat of Depew, 4 to 2, by Howard Zurbrick s long home run over the right center-field fence. Good prospects for the new season are Bill Hastrich and Joe Olszewski, who are coming up from the Jay-Vees.

This year several club members have achieved ratings beyond those of pro-marksman, marks- man, and sharpshooter. They аге the following: Jean Abendschein, Bar 8; Donald Possehl and Albert Zabarowski, Bar 7; Edward Schilling, Bar 6; Lois Mildenberger, Joan Johnston, Witold Ko- sakowski, and James Schneider, Bar 5; Russel Zeferjahn, Bar 4; Doris Schmidt, Bar 3; Beverly Zurbrick, Wilma Beam and Dorothy Stutzman, Bar 2; and Phyllis Yeska, Bar 1. 59 en —— BLOCK L CLUB ist row: J.

To become a member, boys must earn the required number of points in at least one of the following: football, basketball, baseball, track, tennis, bowling, golf, or rifle practice. To win a letter, the boy must be in his junior year. If he partici- pates in athletics during his senior year, he receives an emblem for that sport. Sweaters are awarded to better-than-average athletes who are picked by a com- mittee of coaches, athletic director, and principals. This year the president of the Block L Club was Robert Bohlen, the vice- president was James Kavanaugh, and the secretary-treasurer, Vincent Lume.

Sugg, Herbold, Haworth, Millner, Dalconzo, Beam, Yeska x - THE Old English L Club is a long-established athletic organization for Ше girls of L. H. S. It operates on the same basis as the Block L Club, the only ex- ception being in the less stringent rules for the girls. Any ninth grade girl may join this group if she desires to participate in sports and become a better-deve- loped individual. The officers, President Lorraine Basinski, vice-president Marion Kessel, secretary Doris Schmidt, treasurer Ruth Link, and chairman of entertainment Tillie Eisgruber, feel that this year's organization was very suc- cessful--the annual baked good sale, joint Block L and English L picnic, and several dances after the games.
