As we delve into history we become more convinced that the true embodiment of men’s knowledge, ideals, and wisdom can be traced and cred- ited to the ancient Greeks who long ago considered that, “We are lovers of the beautiful, yet simple in our tastes; and we cultivate the mind without loss of man- liness. It is with these forerunners of life in mind that we have compiled this book and chosen for our motto “Ambition is but a distant star.” . CENTRAL DISTRICT NO.1 TOWNS or LANCASTER, CHEEKTOWAGA ELMA | MILTON W. BROWN Superintendent м. - ___ Аз the first class to complete three years at Lancaster Senior High School, we, the graduates of 1960, wish to { express our sincere appreciation to the members of the Lancaster Board of Education for the tremendous amount of time and energy they have expended in our behalf. We students often do not outwardly show our respect and admiration for their innumerable achievements, but frequently incidents have arisen in our school life which have made us aware of this. Within the last few years, our school system has been both improved and modernized. As Lancaster’s school enrollment has increased, it has been necessary for the Board to greatly ex- pand the teaching staff. Of great importance to us has been the addition of four guidance counselors, a speech therapist, and a school psychologist. Because of their concern over our rapid growth, five new school sites have been purchased. They have wholeheartedly responded to our call for Saturday morning classes, including sci- t ence enrichment courses and scholarship examination preparation. Our parents also have been able to further their education through an Adult Education Program. To summarize all the Board of Education s accomplish- ments would be impossible here, but it gives us great pleasure to so honor these members for the ideal citizenship they have exemplified to us in the performance of their civic duties. 4 أي APPRECIATION BOARD of EDUCATION LANCASTER CENTRAL SCHOOL DISTRICT NO. 1 [4 E.

HERMAN KLING P i E | 5 | D | | i u ر2 کے کا — In September, 1957, the upper three grades of Lancaster High School transferred from the building on Aurora Street to the beautiful new Senior High School on Central Avenue. At the time the students entered the new building, we believed that these young men and women would be- have in an adult manner, so we laid down very few restrictions as to rules of conduct. We are proud to say that the students have valued the trust we have placed in them and only a minimum of change has been necessary in school regulations. The Class of 1960, having completed all senior high school subjects in this building, leaves with us an excel- lent record of accomplishment and conduct, one worthy of all the work and planning that h; me into the building of this new high school. My sincere congratulations to all of you! H. W. Kling, Principal Student Bus Entrance DEDICATION In expressing our most sincere gratitude to the many members of the faculty who have given so graciously of their time and efforts in making this yearbook both a reality and a success, it is particularly fitting that we recognize our class and yearbook advisors, Mr. Symington, Mr. Boratin, Miss Bates, and Miss Wagner. It is then with great pride that we, the Class of 1960, wish to dedicate this yearbook to . . . ... MR. BORATIN, whose wise counsel as our junior and senior advisor has helped make these high school years eventful and happy ones for us. It had largely been through his energies that at the end of these high school years our class emerges financially secure, yet in a position to sponsor a year- book, a prom, the annual class day picnic, and a wealth of other senior activities. ... MR. SYMINGTON, whose unselfish efforts as our sophomore class ad- visor has guided us to a more firm class organizati on, a more memorable school life, and a deeper understanding of our responsibilities and common goals as a class. . . . MISS WAGNER, whose cheerful encouragement has been an inspira- tion to all of us in our writing. The write-up staff has found her an invaluable assistant as well as a patient counselor. . . . MISS BATES, our yearbook advisor, without whom this yearbook would not have been possible. We all appreciate the long and trying hours she has spent as yearbook layout, art, and photography advisor. Under her valu- able guidance, we have found her both a friend and a mentor. MISS ALLEN MISS BATES MR. BORATIN ` Girls’ Guidance Art, Photography World History, English | Í de MISS CRAPSI MR.

Annually the sight and hearing of all the students are tested; seniors and athletes are given complete physicals by Dr. Addesa, the school physician, assisted by the school nurse. The results are recorded and parents notified. Faculty members and other school workers are also re- quired to have physicals, which may be obtained at the school. Absenteeism is also checked by Mrs. Vasbinder. She discusses health problems with students and parents and refers them to various agencies for further cor- rective measures when necessary. Miss Helen Tomczak, our Physical Edu- cation Director, receives part of her yearly physical check-up from Mrs. Vasbinder, the school nurse while student, Gail Heinz, records. Dr. Albert Addesa, school physician 12 OFFICE STAFF The Principal’s assistants, Miss Spanitz and Miss Rebmann, give information concerning the general management of the school. They also devote a great deal of time and effort to keeping the school records of our students up to date and in good order. Mrs. Schmitz is the secretary in the guidance office. Mrs. Trudel operates the switchboard in the Principal’s Office and assists stu- dents in securing their working papers. The Superintendent’s staff, Mrs. Waldmiller, Mrs. Olivieri, Mrs. Adolf, and Mr. Derner, are con- cerned with the business and finan- cial branches of our school system. Ist row: Mrs. H.

Workers at our Sunday Ham Dinner PARENT TEACHERS’ ASSOCIATION The 1959-1960 school year was begun with high hopes and many plans for the Lancaster Senior High Parent Teachers’ Association. The ham dinner held on October 25, not only appeased many appetites but provided an enjoyable social inter- lude as well. A successful bake sale was held on the evening of Open House in November. During the Christmas season, a dance, which helped to put everyone in the Christ- mas spirit, was held for alumni and students. In April, our PTA pre- sented a Spring fashion show, in which students participated and Mary Jane Abeles was commentator. Other functions of the association are the support of the American Field Service Exchange Student Program, a scholarship fund and the Departmental Awards program. These activities are but a few ways in which the PTA helps provide for the welfare of the students in our high school. Mr. Simon and Miss Allen consulting over a stu- dent’s record card. GUIDANCE The tests which are given by our coun- selors are to find out the achievements, aptitudes, interests and personalities of our students at Lancaster. Our counselors use these results in helping students with job and college placement and technical training. GUIDANCE SERVICES 1. Programs for all students are individ- ually planned to suit their individual aptitudes, interests and needs. Counsel is easily available for all stu- dents and parents at any time. 3. Close cooperation with colleges en- ables students to meet representatives and discuss their admission questions here in school. 4. Necessary testing is done individually and in groups to help students plan their futures wisely. © 15 ATTENDANCE Mr. Robert Wright, attendance officer, has the necessary position of checking our absentees and issuing various passes throughout the school year. His cheerful cooperation is known and appreciated by both students and faculty. Anne Jackson does not appear worried as Mr. Wright questions her about her tardiness yesterday.

Our yearbook photographer catches John Unselt as he checks the oil on bus 3. Since practically all the students at- tending L.C.S.H.S. ride busses, our trans- portation department has been busy tak- ing pupils to and from school every day— driving an average of 500 miles on the regular routes, plus 90 miles for late trips. Aside from the usual runs, they have taken us to visit places of educational interest, such as City and County Courts and the Albright Art Gallery. They have taken our athletic teams and cheerleaders to sports events, and transported stu- dents to special rehearsals and extra prac- tice sessions for both musical and athletic events. This service was provided in all kinds of weather—dull, bright, hot, cold, pleasant, and stormy days—in rain, sleet, sunshine, and snow—on icy, wet, and dry roads—on main and side roads—in- side and outside the village. For this, we are most grateful. MERLE E. AHL General Academic ANGELINE AMATURA General Academic THOMAS M.

Weinbach The class of 1960 wishes to present an orchid, our class flower, to each of the following students in recognition of an outstanding accomplishment dur ing his or her high school career. These achievements have added much prestige to our class and we are justly proud of them for the time and hard work they have put forth. As a jun- ior, Clark McKenzie, broke the long standing discus record with a sensational throw of 140’4”. Nina Rising became our school’s first exchange student, as the American Field Service's 1959 summer representative to Greece. This year, George Thomson shattered his own record for the mile with an exceptional ti f 4:41. One of William Thomlinson’s most distinguished awards was the Atlantic City trip to atlend the h and Atom Conference.” He was acco mpanied by Mr. Gessert, his physics teacher. John Haner has i the National Latin Honor Society Award for attaining the high mark of 115 out of a possible 120, for tives consec- utive years. In our sophomore year, Rodney Schifla astounded everyone by rolling the perfect b ne score of 300, becoming the second youngest boy (15 years, 7 months) in the nation to ever accomplish this feat. As a result of her exceptional science ability, Barbara Hummel had the distinction of being the first Lancaster High School student to win a Buffalo Museum of Science summer scholarship. In his spare time, James Everts has displayed extraordinary talent as a radio announcer. He has, to his credit, been WWOL Guy King’s record hop manager, and is currently on the Eggertsville station, WSAB.

We realize the importance of our teachers’ daily interest in us and hope to justify their eti the years to come. It is with a touch of nostalgia that we look back over the good times we have shared ic hard work and disappointments seem dim by comparison in contemplation. In our sophomore year we became the first and largest class to enter Lancaster Central High with three years to go. The preceding classes left us the task of carrying on the high standards of the school. With Mr. Symington acting as our class adviser, we held two splash parties and a dance, “The Carousel, which was an immense hit. We topped the other classes in our first magazine sale. This provided us with a firm financial start to meet the expenses of the coming year. The spontaneous enthusiasm of our new class adviser, Mr. Boratin, enabled us to get our junior year rolling. For the second year in a row we were successful in the magazine sale. Activities for the year in- cluded two splash parties and the “Harvest Festival dance. Ambition's light is but a distant star, lavender and white, and the white orchid were chosen as our class motto, colors, and flower. “Twilight Time, was chosen as à theme for our Junior-Senior Prom to represent this milestone.in our high school career. Against a lavish background of stars and filmy clouds, we crowned Frank Inglese our king, Phyllis Garfield his queen, and their court attendants. This year we inaugurated a “Ring Dance, where Mr. Boratin, our adviser, presented us with our class rings in a formal ceremony. Our holiday dance, The Snowflake Swirl, with its fine band, ap- pealed to all. Plans are already under way for the presentation of our Senior Class Play. 'This year we expect the largest Junior-Senior Prom attendance in the history of our school. Our class day, with its annual picnic, will be the last social event of the year. We shall miss the friends we have made, but we eagerly look forward to graduation and what the future holds in store for us. by Barbara Bell 1958 President C. McKenzie Secretary B.

Burg 47 AMERICAN FIELD SERVICE 1959 SUMMER SIUDENT TO GREECE During the summer of 1959, for the first time in the history of our school, we sent an exchange student to Greece. I was the lucky stu- dent who was selected to go. à This trip was a wonderful opportunity for me as a representative of American good will as well as for the school and community. When I returned to Lancaster, I began to make speeches at various organizations in town. My activities this summer ranged from swim- ming every day to long walks with my families or friends at night, not to mention sight-seeing and celebrations. It was a great thrill to learn that no matter where a person goes the world over, people have the same kind, understanding natures. The wealth of knowledge gained from this experi cont in human nations makes it a wholly unique and worthwhile program. Vive la NINA RISING The Stinis family from Corfu. Maria, 15, her mother, an ele- mentary school teacher, and her father who works for the Tele- phone and Telegraph company. Omonia Square, in the center of Athens, has this beautifully lighted water fountain. 48 During July, I stayed in Athens with Helen Mahera and her father who was a doctor. We lived in a rather poor section of the city, near the famed Acropolis. Helen was 17 and a senior in high school. After two weeks, I moved in with the Vardas family located in their summer home about 20 kilometers from Athens. My sister, Marina, 14; Dimitri, 19; and Theodore, 17, my two brothers, and I did many interesting things together. Mr. Vardas was a partner in a clothing store in Athens. All in all, it was a busy and exciting summer. A miniature temple at Delphi, believed to have held valuable treas- ures in ancient days. Although not equipped for speed, hiring this old-fashioned taxicab is much easier than walking in 100 degree heat. For our last three days in Greece, all the American Field Service students met in Athens for a tour of that fabulous city. Here we are at the ancient ruins at Delphi. Below is a typical building on the island of Corfu. The ground floor is the office of a local newspaper, while the upper stories house many families. OUR FOREIGN EXCHANGE STUDENT 1959—1960 HEIMKE FRANZENBURG Born the 9th of June, 1942, in Minden, Northrhine-Westfalica, Germany Hier bin ich aufgewachsen. Dieses Dorf ist meine Heimat. Here at the “Porta Westfalica” where the Weser leaves the Mit- telgebirge is my home. I live in one of the few houses at the foot of this mountain. The monument on the top represents Kaiser Wilhelm II, our last German emperor. Now I want to tell you a little bit about myself. | live in Bark- hausen, a suburb of the beautiful Minden in the Province of North- rhine-Westfalica together with my mother, grandmother, two sisters, and one brother. My sister, Wiebke and I visit the girls gymnasium in Minden. My brother, Klaus, is already teaching at the boys’ school in Minden. Our school begins at 8 o'clock, but we always arrive al the | last minute. I am in the eleventh grade and still have two years left. I take sixteen subjects a week, which really is often confusing, be- cause every day is different. For instance, we take biology, geography, physics, English, and French, only twice a week, but we take it during all the nine years of high school. School is dismissed at one o’clock. Then we go home for lunch. In the morning between classes we have two breakfast breaks of fifteen and twenty minutes, when we go out on our school yard which is surrounded by many trees, to eat our sandwiches. In summertime during my free time, I go swimming in the nearby river, Weser, and in the wintertime skiing on the mountain behind our house. On the weekends, which are very short because we have to go to school on Saturdays, we usually hold our Wandervogel meetings (a kind of girl scouts). I take my guitar with me and we sing folk songs and plan new hiking or bike trips. Every morning at 7:15 I take my bike or in icy weather the street- car, meet my friends and we all together start our way around the Every month we get one day off from school to go with our classmates on a hiking trip. Do you recognize me in this crazy group? NET EE | mountain to come to Minden, our school city. Minden has about 50,000 inhabitants and was founded by Karl dem Grossen of the 9th century. never forget that one day, when I came home from school, and elcomed me with a mysterious looking letter in her hand, the most wonderful letter I ever received. It was from Field Service in New York. I was elected to go to Amer- that meant everything for me in those days. I had al- ıbout the progress of engineering, the enormous accom- р in industry that is exemplary for Germany. Frequently we heard of the initiative of the American people, and their self-manage- ment was represented to us as a model. The country was said to be vast, very beautiful, and in some regions still untouched. It was my greatest desire to see this country with my own eyes, to know the Americans personally, and to compare my impressions with my own country. Now I know that this wonderful program, to come in touch with different nations, to learn and to give not only will be a great profit for me and the people I contact, but also for the future develop- ment of friendship between our countries.

CLASS HISTORY 1958—1960 In 1958, under the direction of their adviser, Miss Dorothy Hayn, the class of ’61 held its first activity, the “Bermuda Bounce,” followed by splash parties and socials throughout the year. The magazine sale, sponsored by the Senior High School and enthusiastically supported by the Sophomore Class, started its treasury rolling ' and put them in second place. Their first year in the new Lancaster Senior High School was under the leader- ship of their first class officers, President—Dick Ward; Vice President—Mary Lou Arcese; Secretary—Carol Fox: Treasurer—Jerilyn Schilling; and Social Chairman—Edith Berger. Now as Juniors guided by a new class adviser, Mrs. Carole Dygert, the newly elected officers are Dean Czech, President; Susan Shaffer, Vice Presi- dent: Donna Lynch, Secretary; Joan Dumont, Treasurer; and John Shoff, Social Chairman.

On December 2, 3, and 4, 1959, approximately twenty-four hun- dred persons filled our auditorium to watch Lancaster Senior High’s most successful musical produc- tion, OKLAHOMA. A cast of over fifty, including chorus, or- chestra, and dancers, as well as actors, successfully met the chal- lenge OKLAHOMA presented— to give widely and fully of their diverse talents. The songs of this timely and typically American musical appealed to old and young alike. It provided a touch of hu- mor and drama, love and sorrow, realism and fantasy. To both cast and audience, it was a re- warding experience and a re- vealing insight into “good theater.” Many a new day will come. Simon says, Do this. That supreme final moment.

After many months of work, these industrious students proudly announce that their 116- page yearbook will be the largest and most elaborate in Lancaster’s history. These workers under Miss Bates and Miss Wagner have in this time assembled over 500 photo- graphs and several thousands of words in write-up to surely make this yearbook LCSHS’s best to date. Chief participants have been: Joyce Linderman, Charles Sweetman, and Jack Ward in photography; John Haner, Carol Simpson, and Gloria Waite in write-up; Anne Jackson in busi- ness; Lynn Mustard, Yvonne Rogers, and Dorothy Stone in paste-up; Judy Small and Sharon Stevens in typing; and William Biggee in art. With a well-informed student body as their major objective, the staff of the Redskin Review have in this, their first year, regularly published a mimeographed newspaper that has shown a great deal of originality, true school participation, and high-caliber writing.

Its executive body consists of the president, Frank Inglese; the vice-president, Edith Berger; the treasurer, Pat Campbell; and the secretary, Sharon Scalzetta. The couneil is under the very capable guidance and supervision of Mr. Roessel. Our representatives STUDENT COUNCIL There are three major aims of the Student Couneil: to promote and guide the activities of students so as to secure for them extensive ex- perience in self-initiated and self- directed enterprises; to encourage wide opportunities to participate in the civic responsibilities of the school; and to develop pride in be- longing to the school community. In the past, the council has proved most successful in the execution and fulfillment of these aims. The Hand- book containing essential, everyday information about Lancaster High was published. The members of this group also run a hat check conces- sion at many school functions. In the future, the members hope to make even greater strides to- ward fulfilling their aims.

This is the pledge made by members of the Honor Society. No school honor ex- cels that represented by entrance into the Lancaster chapter of the National Honor Society. This club bases its membership on four qualifications through which its members attempt to show ideal conduct. Character should be everyone's greatest goal. Serv- ice is a gift anyone may give at no cost, and from doing so, gain the great benefits of happiness, success and friendship. Leadership is a quality found by few, and ad- mired by many. Scholarship is the sincere and lasting desire to acquire knowledge. 'The Honor Society attempts to provide fellowship and recreation for its members. Two of its most important activities have been the sale of Christmas wrapping pa- per and the distribution of school pictures. Each year, a tea is held by the society for new members and their parents. With the aid of Miss Diana, adviser, the members of the National Honor Society carry on their worthy program based on high goals. 70 NATIONAL HONOR SOCIETY ASSEMBLY November 24, 1959 intrance March . .

The 1959 “Twilight Time” prom took place amidst a galaxy of stars in the school gym. Phyllis Garfield was crowned our queen and her king was Frank Inglese. Her court appeared radiant in all their formal finery. We anticipated this climactic event for hours, days, even weeks before it took place. Girls bought first for- mals and boys rented their first dinner jackets. Hours were spent on decorations and disturbed teachers toler- ated our running in and out of classes to meetings and discussions. We must admit that we didn’t get much school work done during those weeks due to daydream- ing as well as all these activities. The tension in the atmosphere was brought on by the excitement of going to a prom with that special someone.” The prom was an event to be remembered by us for all time, not only because of its splendor and enchant- ment but because we realized that we were nearing the very portals of our senior year. 75 The 58 king and queen—David Amey and Marjorie Hughes The Crowning “Grand March” RING DANCE On October 17, the Sen- ior Class of 1960 presented the first Lancaster Senior High “Ring Dance,” a semi- formal for Seniors and their dates. Decorations in pink, white and lavender gar- nished the room, with mobiles hanging from the ceiling and streamers connect- ing wall placards bearing each Senior’s name.

We all enjoyed ourselves as we danced or listened to the music of an excellent seven piece orchestra. The evening was highlighted by the crowning of Judith Lux, the “Snowflake Queen. Each girl received a sachet as a souvenir. From the girls present at the dance, Judy's name was drawn. She and her escort were presented with a ten dollar prize. es EUR Mr. Boratin crowns Judy Lux as “Snowflake Queen” while her escort, Roy Bentley, Phyllis Garfield, and Bill Thomlinson look on. 77 Marryin’ Sam Hrycko ties the knot between Daisy J Mae Garfield and Lil’ Abner Greco. The annual Sadie,“ held on Nov. 21, 1959, from 8 to 11, was a huge success. Everyone had a most enjoyable evening, square and round dancing amid the in- formal surroundings, highlighted by Al Capp’s Dogpatch charac- ters. The dance was interrupted by Phyllis Garfield, our Daisy Mae, as she chased Jim Greco, Lil’ Abner, through the crowd until she successfully dragged him before our Marryin’ Sam, Laverne Hrycko. After that fateful wed- ding ceremony was completed and Jim was forced to kiss Phyl- lis, other couples fought their way forward for a similar cere- mony before Marryin’ Sam. Decorations consisted of shmoos Mi such as this, plus pictures of Dogpatch citizens. d 78 N. Wydysh, M. Lowery, J. Linderman, N. Rising, R. Pascucci, F. Borschel, Mrs. Warren. SPEECH COURSE At Lancaster a speech course is incorporated in the senior ycar of English. Ten weeks are spent learning the basic principles of public speaking, parliamentary procedures, choral speaking, and play presentation. This year many speech students participated in a Christmas assembly program, Unto These Doors, a choral reading about the birth of Christ. Members of these classes also act as chairmen of student assemblies, opening the assemblies and introducing the speakers. Other students took part in a broadcast on the High School Forum of the Air at WBEN. Bill Thomlinson competed in the American Legion Contest and won sectional honors. 79 Miss Van Natter and Mr. Wright look on as Mr. Gessert sets up apparatus. SCIENCE RESEARCH PROGRAM The Saturday Morning Science Re- search Program is designed to give stu- dents interested in project work, over and above what regular class and school time permits, an opportunity to work on them. An attempt ıs made to provide research sources, encouragement, and advice in putting the individual study on a really scientific basis. Through this program, students have gained experience with the techniques of science study and research, science disciplines, and science equipment. Pictured below are some of the most active students taking part in the Science Research Program: W. Thomlinson, V. Domanowski, P. Milks, L. Seibel, T. Nelson, L. Mowbray, D. Stock, B. Hummel, C.

The 200 outstanding books in the sciences and mathematics are supplied by the American Association for the Advancement of Science. Every two months a different set of fifty books in their traveling cases is displayed and circulated. MIXED QUARTET The mixed quartet which was formed this year, practices every Thursday under the direction of Mr. Schermerhorn. They have sung before community groups such as the Home for the Aged, Wende, and for local fraternal organizations. The group has enjoyed rendering their serv- ices to the school and community and have gained valuable experience in pub- lic performance through these endeavors. The quartet consists of John Miller, Moira Maitland, Sharon Stevens, and John Restall. MIXED CHORUS Mr. Schermerhorn directs the mixed chorus, which is composed of selected eleventh and twelfth year students. They receive an abundance of training in various types of choral music. This year’s activities were highlighted by the December production of the musical, “Oklahoma,” singing at the Wende Home and a May Concert. 82 Front: J. Schafer. Ist row: Mr. Fagan, director, A.

DANCE BAND About four years ago a group of orchestra members became interested in forming a dance band. The first year of organization proved to be a success and as one member graduated, another member of the orchestra took his place. This year’s group has been most active having par- ticipated in one of the Junior High School assemblies. They also have played for the P.T.A. Alumni Dance given during the Christmas season and for the Junior High Dance held in February. MUSIC COUNCIL Representatives to this council are chosen from the musical organizations and act as a service group to help plan and coordinate the activities of the Music department.

AITE JANE SCHAFER MRS. JOBES Instructor CONCERT BAND The band, under the direction of Mr. Kemp, has had many opportunities to present their talents in public. They have played at hockey games, Old Folks’ Homes, Shut-in Society, Little League, contests, and assemblies. The Concert Band had representatives in the Erie County Band, All-State Sectional Band, and the All New York State Band at the Musie Education sixteen State Conference in Buffalo. At least two band members are going into music education as a profession, so the experience proved to be profitable. The band has added much enjoyment and many pleasurable hours to the cultural life of the community. The color guard always makes a fine appearance at the head of the band. From left to right are: S. Lauridsen, R. Ippolito, M. Marino, P. Luderman, C. Conrad, and G. Willard. — . MARCHING BAND Mr. Fagan and Mr. Pascucci settle a prob- lem with a joke Drum Majorette Barbara Bell The baton twirlers have added color to the band on several occasions. From left to right are: J. Dudek, S. Ziegler, B. Miller, M. Zagst, J. May, D. Stroka, J. Stachowiak, G. Stachowiak, and K. Olszewski. This year, under the capable direction of Mr. Richard Fagan and Mr. Richard Pascucci, Lancaster High School has an accomplished marching band to its credit. The band consists of Senior High School students and pupils chosen from the Junior High through competitive tryouts. These younger members form a strong nucleus upon which future bands will be built. The consistent presence of the band at the football games boosted team morale with its spirited playing. The colorful half-time shows were a big attraction which the fans enjoyed immensely. The band gained valuable experience in making public appearances by marching in the Community Chest Parade in Buffalo, and was rewarded for their efforts by a front page picture in the Buffalo Evening News. These excellent performances also won the band an invitation to march in the University of Buffalo Parade of Bands Day at Rotary Field. Long hours of practice have paid off well and the band members are justified in the pride they take in their organization. Future appearances will assuredly add to the band’s growing prestige and its fine representation of our school and community. Je 4 Look mom, no teeth!

The time has again arrived for the annual cheerleading tryouts and the candidates are practicing their jumps and cheers in anticipation of the tryouts. The new squads are chosen by the Varsity squad and Miss Tomezak on the basis of their cheering ability, neatness, amiability, and scholastic record. A cheerleader’s main responsibility is, of course, leading the stu- dent body in supporting our school’s sports teams. However, her duties go a.bit further than this. She also makes posters for the com- ing games and meets, plans cheer rallies, conducts dances after foot- ball and basketball games, serves at the annual football banquet, and attends weekly practices. We can all be proud of these peppy girls who add so much color to our sports program here at Lancaster. Cheerleaders making final preparations for the annual football banquet held in our school cafeteria Miss Tomezak El “SENTIMENTAL JOURNEY” | WATER BALLEI Water Ballet is a combination of rhythm, dance, and poise set to music in almost any pattern conceivable, and it requires cooperation and imagination. The Aqua- belles of L.C.S. spend the first part of the school year working on stunts. Later in the year, numbers for the Water Show are perfected with girls practicing their stunts to music. The Aquabelles work hard, both in perfecting the swimming skills and in learning to inter- pret the strokes to music. Each year, after a long period of hard work, the girls are proud to present their annual Water Show. Representing the U.S. in the 1959 Water Show were Cindy Suckow, Barb Hummel, and Sharie Werick. England was the setting for this colorful number while the girls swam to the music of “Greensleeves.” Students participating were B. Rohl, L. Van Splun- der, D. Przybylski, C. Werick, B. Shultes, J. Neid- rauer, J. Small, and M. Marino. Miss Parkman, swimming instruc- tor, directs the show and is mainly responsible for its production. Marie Layer was poster girl for the swim number entitled Siam. Other participants were M. Ceisner, S Diringer, D. Kervink, M. Lowery, L. Van Splunder, К. Werick, D. Snyder, D. Stroka, G.

The main purpose of football is to educate boys in working together har- | moniously as а squad and a winning team unit. Stress is applied to the development of favorable character- istics, such as perseverance, determination, loyalty, obedience, honesty, good sportsmanship, and physical ability in each boy. This year’s first string team was made up mostly of seniors, and four of them, Dave Madge, Carl Jutzin, Bill Zach, and Clark McKenzie made the Buffalo Evening News All-Star Team. Fred | Haake, Jim Greco, and Clark McKenzie were chosen j by the Courier-Express for their All-Star Team.

Through the practice games participated in last year, the team gained valuable experi- ence. At the close of the season this year the team found itself in second last place. The only win was against Gowanda, but outstanding spirit was shown at all of the games.

BOWLING A bowling match consists of three points. There are two games bowled and each game’s winner receives one point. The third point, mentioned above, is rewarded to the team having the highest total pins. In case of a tie game, the participating teams split the point. This year our varsity team has eight men. After the first round of league bowling, the Redskins are in first place, having won fifteen points and lost only three. Five of the eight players have bowled games of 200 and over, advancing our fine team to Division II in the league. 101 JUNIOR VARSITY BASKETBALL The Junior Varsity Basketball Team, as with most JV teams, lacks player depth and experience, but still has done an excellent job this year.

We all remember the excellent performance of our team last year bringing home the honors for Lancaster with the Sectional AAA Championship. We look forward to a similar performance by our boys this year, as we know we have an equally good team. With Edward Wianecki as their captain, these ¢ boys have shown exceptional sportsmanship and teamwork. They put in three hours of practice each night and play two games’a week, all for the glory of L.C.S.H. Their progress thus far in the season can be seen by the scores. 108 Got it, Jim?

The objectives through- out the athletic program are the same: to improve the individual, both mentally and physically, to encourage his competitive spirit, to broaden his social outlet to his fellow men, and to develop high character through good sportsmanship and leadership. Last year was the team’s first experience in league competition and, with a squad of 25 boys, it tied for fourth place, with a 5 win, 7 loss record. This year it has expanded into two full squads—Varsity and Junior Varsity—carrying 36 boys with the addition of a Junior Varsity coach, Mr. Thom- son. The greatest problem is that too many Sophomore swimmers are coming out for the Junior Varsity team who did not participate as Freshmen. This puts them one year behind all the way through their high school swimming career. If L.C.S. is to be on the top in swim- ming, as in other activities, these boys must begin at an earlier age. 105 Mitzel, D. Pietrantone, S. Tay- MeMillan, C. Sweetman, шиг.

The wrestling team at Lan- caster is especially proud, not only of its record in wrestling competition, but also of its success in improving these qualities in its participants. Coached by Mr. Boffa, math teacher at Lan- caster Junior High, the members of the team enjoyed a successful season with such outstanding veteran wrestlers as Earl Basher, Ken Burg, Burt Lyon, Clark McKenzie, and Bill Thomlinson. Although not a team sport, wrestling gives its members a special incentive as they hear their fellow wrestlers urge them on. 106 John Wagner plays “The Rifleman.” 107 RIFLE From Thanksgiving to Easter, faint rumblings can be heard about the school building by the late stayer at L.H.S. With a little detective work, he can find that it’s the rifle team hidden away in the depths of the basement rifle range. These men are shooting at pieces of paper, com- monly called targets. Coached by Mr. Roesch, the five-man team has achieved an outstanding record for Lancaster. All are expert marksmen, interested in riflery as an outside activity. Although not essentially a team endeavor as usually understood, cross country ( ROSS seeks to provide a wholesome outlet for the boys’ energies and at the same time teach them something of competitive spirit and good sportsmanship. Under Coach Gessert the team placed second in both the Section AA C hampionship and the Buf- COI | М | R Y falo State Teachers College Invitational Run.

Lancaster was represented by a fine team in the Erie County Interscholastic Conference, Division II, last year. Al- though a comparatively new team, the boys came out on top in the sectional meet. Mr. Java is the coach of this team which displays such fine spirit and sports- manship at all of its games. TENNIS This year our tennis team enjoyed a fine season, play- ing on LCS’s new courts for the first time. The boys on the team chose tennis as a universal sport they can play all through life. It re- quires of them rhythmic co- ordination, fast, Accurate timing, and keen footwork. Ist row: J. Brown, J. Restall, W. Thomlinson, К. Burg, Mr. Karl. 2nd row: M. Kraemer, J. Louer, L. Seibel, D.

The varsity squad won 11 games without a single defeat in 1959. With the help of Pat Dobson, who as pitcher, had a record of 19 strikeouts in one game, the team won the Erie County Interscholastic Conference Division II. In addition, Pat had a total of 120 strikeouts in 65 innings. Varsity baseball adds lustre to our already satisfactory Spring sports program. We have a fine turnout of athletes participating and making baseball a success. All candidates screened for the junior varsity squad include both ninth and tenth grade boys. The Varsity squad is also screened in the same manner. A complete medical examination, parents’ permit slip, and insurance are basic requirements to participate in any practice session. 110 Coach Fitzpatrick. R. Cervo. 3rd row: D. Hout.

The strength, vigor, and, in- deed, the hopes of a varsity team are inevitably dependent upon the junior squad from which the varsity team each year for the most part is chosen.
