Whenre there legendr and traditions Many years ago, Leni-Lenape fthe True Men, stalked the primeval forests surrounding Liberty, fished in the crystal'clear streams, and lived carefree lives in their tiny villages. Today a different Indian stalks the forests near Liberty, fishing in the lakes and streams, and enjoying the close associations with friends and teachers. This is the Liberty High School Indian, his tribe dwelling in a beautiful modern school. We Seniors have found Longfel- low's Hiawatha an inspiration for our Libertas . We hope our book will recall tall tales of Redmen in 1953.

Todays an impor- tant dayg our graduation announcements have arrived! Mr. Panebaker greets us from behind his desk as the office staff collects our money. Minutes later we head for the third floor, puffing up the stairs. Surround- ed by cheerful classrooms and a warm, friendly atmosphere which has been created for us through the efforts of the Board of Education, we've spent some of the best years of our lives at LHS. Letls recall a typi- cal day at school .... In the hall we call Good morning to Mr. Anderson, who is comptroller of finan- ces for the Board of Education fand always lets us listen to the ball game on his radioj.

Dodging open lockers and boisterous classmates, we invade the chaos known as senior homeroomsu and wait for the 9:00 bell. Activity period first and we go our separate ways, Miss Styles has already started scales in Glee Club, while the blasts of trumpets and trombones fill the subter- ranean music room, as Mr. Lentrichia directs band rehearsal. Mrs. Dowling helps us progress editoriallyn with the Com- ment, while the business staff swarms into Mr. Carver's room.

Hunger pangs at 11:20 but theres still solid with Miss Knoll for those mathe- matically inclined or algebra with Mr. Van Slyke. Miss Mauer either habla espanol or parle francais while Mr. Barra enlivens Latin l2:l0l Everyone scampers from homerooms to the cafeteria where we com- bine nourishing lunches with animated chat- ter, re-living the day's events. Everyone's buzzing about how the Juniors slaughtered the Seniors in the basketball game! This afternoon we'll type to music with Mrs. Calhoun or Mr. Gadziala, or if we're lucky enough to have a study hall, perhaps the library is our destination. Whether it's research for term papers or reading for pleasure, Miss Shipka is always willing to help us find the right literature. Mr. New's biology room is famous for its animals, just as Mr. I-lansen's chem lab is for H2O or CO, . Striding past chums on Safety , we spy Miss Manley and Mrs. Drum in a hud- dle at the end of the hall, waiting for Eng- lish classes to arrive. A movie on Macbeth awaits us in room 26.

At the sound of the 5:40 bell, no one needs a reminder that another school day is over and a mad scramble for books and lockers overtakes the third floor. A few minutes of tumult and the halls become de- serted, except for a group of diligent men who maintain the school of which were so proud. fPlease see page 59lj These are the people with whom welve spent most of our school days, who have exerted such a great influence on our lives, and whom we shall never forget, not only as teachers, but as friends.

Student Council Politics are a vital aspect of American life and training for future endeavors, Liberty High School trys to fulfill this need by an active Student Council. Fourteen representatives of the student body meet to explore the problems of student government, under the guidance of Miss Knoll. The council's activities for the past year put the annual clothing drive in the forefront, But where would we be without the Lost and Found Depart- ment? Freshman Class Elections? Snowball Patrol? Sub-Fre-shman Day? Above all, the student government provides a fine opportunity for training in one of the most im- portant phases of life-namely citizenship. Honor Society Initiation into the National Honor Society is the most coveted reward to students with outstanding qualities of scholarship, character, leadership and service. This organization meets monthly with Miss English, At annual initiation ceremonies a selected group of students are inducted. At a very successful tea new students were in- troduced to class officers, Honor Society members, and the Student Council president.

Let's see you meet your deadlines These are familiar words to every Comment member assigned a story for our LHS newspaper. Published once a month, the paper provides reading enjoyment and factual information about leading sports and school social events.

Mrs. Dowling, editorial advisor, meets with the staff and reporters, Mr. Carver directs financial V, policies on the business staff. Amid an atmosphere of writing heads, proofing, and assigning news, sports, and feature stories, the members learn the finer points of journalism ordinarily unknown to the average person. Highlights of the year are the Columbia Scholastic Press Association at Columbia University, and the Empire State Scholastic Press Association at Syracuse University, At these conferences Liberty students ex- change ideas and return with new suggestions in- cluding every phase of journalism from paper lay-out to feature writing.

Miss Styles directs the group as they perform choral music and develop vocal technique, while enjoying the pleasures of group singing. The Chorus presented a radio program for National Education Week and was featured in a Christmas assembly. These students traditionally sing at the Spring Concert.

Let's do it again and get it right this timeln ln room 341 Miss Styles can be heard repeating this phrase over and over again. Running up and down the scales is a Glee Club effort to develop good tones. ln September a tape recorder for special vocal groups appeared on the scene. The Girls' Glee Club has had many funny inci- dents and serious moments experimenting during re- hearsals, These girls also sing in Christmas programs and the Spring Concert Alley Cats Sweet Adeline . . . My Adeline . . . The Alley Cats. under the direction of Miss Carolyn Styles, is rapidly becoming a most popular group. Fairly recently organized, they appeared in our annual school concerts and assemblies and several local organizations. Their main purpose is to preserve the art of four-part male harmony. There are no officers in this club, each member holds his own posi- tion to the best of his ability. To develop from Hbarbershop harmonizing is the ambition of the Alley Cats. according to Mr. Carver, but we like them as they are. Girls' Trio and Jr. Sextette Appearing in musical assemblies and de- lighting community audiences have been fea- ture activities of the newly formed Girls' Trio and the junior Sextette. Both organizations are directed by Miss Carolyn Styles. Their purpose is to learn vocal techniques and gain experi- ence in small ensemble singing while entertain- ing music lovers. Their accomplishments were evident in the annual Spring Concert. Radio Club NX'hile creating a closer tie between the community and school, the Radio Club also provides invaluable experience for the students and brings into each home important school news and timely topics. XY'ith the aid of program organizers. one of several rotating groups presents the high school program each week. highlighted by school news. panel discussions, interviews and sports. Smtudflwf.

The Biology Club stimulates an interest in natural history, mak- ing our surroundings more in. teresting, Mr. New's enthusiam is catching There are 23 members and each contributes by preparing separate reports on some field of interest which the members discuss. Plans include an as- sembly to show the student body their work, the purchase of books on biology for the Library, and a trip to New York City museums. Math Club Do the intricacies of higher math mystify you? Are you fascinated with mathematical terms? Our suggestion is, Join the Math Club! Solving intri- cate problems provides a chal- lenge to these students. Becom- ing acquainted with the use of the slide rule and sextant is an- other objective. The club offers an opportunity to do extra work in advanced mathematics ordi- narily omitted in class. Super- vised by Miss Knoll, the club participates in the Pi Mu Epsilon Interscholastic Mathe- matics Contest in New York City. In 1952 three members of the club tied for third place in this competition. iw' '.'f'Lg - Firft Rout-J. Kovadlo, Sec'y., E. Gishman, F. Schneider, K. Lowe, j. Hill, Pres., S. Jacobs, S. McOmber.

The Library News, published by the club, gives reviews of the newest books and contains jokes and quizzes written by members. Debate Club Debating and effective public speaking are valuable talents developed in Debate Club. Under the guidance of Mr. Barra, the group participated in a Hamilton College State tour- ney. Liberty has placed high in the Duso Lea- gue as a result of several matches. Rivalry with jeff is the greatest stimulus to action. A debate match was held at Newburgh and a local debate was presented to the Disabled War Veterans of Liberty. HIIIIFNIII H1 Sf11t'rfffelNl. Slodzina.. gl. Hill. L. Quiggle. C. Grant, J. Rubin. L.

Membership is voluntary with two representatives from each homeroom. Meetings are scheduled when projects are to be planned. Gift boxes are made possible through money collected in the November drive. Another project is the Christmas plan. The members adopted a needy family in Sullivan County with funds from their drive and provided the family with childrens' clothing, toys, and a twelve pound turkey. Members feel that contribu- tions to the junior Red Cross not only help others but ourselves as well. Fifi! Rou'-C. Grant, j. Clark, Treas., C. Ratsch, Sec'y., G. Ordin, Pres., F. Radicchi, V. P., M.

Checkers and Chess Club Every Tuesday members of the Chess Club meet to learn the finer points of chess, a game that depends on knowledge rather than luck. Proficiency in this game, which was invented centuries ago, is attained by persistent playing. Checkmate, castling and such chess lingo become part of an exciting battle of wits under Mr. Gadzial.a's instruction. Their goal is to play near-by high schools in chess matches. me an if Projection Club Doesn't anyone know how to run the projector? That used to be a familiar cry in LHS. However, thanks to this club, it is rarely heard anymore. Under the direction of Mr. Fulton, several boys now know how to run and repair movie machines. Not only do they perform a valu- able service to the school, but they are gaining experience in an important field. l P10211 G Pellam S Kramer XX Durland, M. Wild, V. P., D. Grant. R. Vfilli, T.

When the girls meet on Wednesday mornings with Miss King they try their hardest to learn leadership and better sportsmanship. Most of the club period is spent working on new tumbling tricks or apparatus.

Then the Juniors ran back and forth to rehearsals of Maybe Love, which was the greatest success of the year. The Class of '54 has shown that they will be wonderful seniors.

Football 7952 Coach Charles Witherwax, assisted by Sheldon Goldsmith, developed the 1952-55 football squad into a well-rounded and experi- enced crew. With the T-formation as their offense, the Tribe executed a running and passing attack throughout the season. Fumbles and blocked kicks spelled Indian setbacks in three encounters. Although win- ning only one of six tussles, the club displayed exceptional zest during the campaign Liberty 13 .... .... 6 .... .... 12 .... .... 13 .... 0 .... .... 12 .... .... 56 Goshen .......

'n Although Coach Carver's golfers suffered a poor season, the liriksmen clinched third position in a held of eight at the sectionals. Captain Earle White, a shining example of consistency throughout the season, brightened the club's prestige considerably by qualifying for the Intensectionals. Other lettermen were Michael Hartman and Robert Hlavna. This year it is doubtful if the golfers will enter the Duso circuit. Participation in the sectionals and dual competition with nearby village schools, how- ever, are possibilities for the golf team's agenda. Under the direction of Mr. Brandt, the 1953 track squad has many returning lettermen and the season looks promising. This year's hopefuls are Heino Frey, Jim Brinkerhoff, Phil Snofsky, Carlyle Dretchin, jim Delamater, Bob Hust, Dave Frank, Morris Miller, and Fred Thompson. Several new members should strengthen the cindermen. Golf Left to Right-Coach Carver, M. Gross, R. Hlavna, E, White, Capt., R. Hartman L. Rosh, I. Hoffer, R. Prepost. Liberty Opponent: 1 ....

Boys' Sports In his second year as LHS physical education director. Coach Charles B. Xllfitherwax has organ- ized the boys' sports into a well-rounded program. Nearly all high school boys have participated at one time or another in inter-rural, intra-mural. or inter-class squads in football, basketball. vol- leyball, or softball. In gym classes squads were formed according to the individual athletic ability. The classes were organized so that each boy might develop and improxe in such sports as softball volleyball football basketball badminton cageball track and soccer Y, va wi-M3 wont' Arr THA-r win- 0 lo..

During football season both the J.V. and the Varsity squads combined their talents into one well-functioning unit. Ever popular football victory dances were added to this year's rostrum of cheering activities. Through the efforts of Miss King and the cheerleaders, these gatherings were enjoyed by all. As the thermometer fell, fevers rose to new heights as our twelve enthusiastic cheerleaders helped to keep the basketball crowds on the go. New cheers, new formations and new uni- forms dazzled the spectators as our Gals took to the center of the floor. From the bal- cony above, cheers were spurred on by the junior Pep Squad. As spring approached, the cheerleaders prepared themselves for the perennial Mid- Hudson cheering meet. The girls managed as always to obtain their usual high rating-thus ending 55's calendar of cheering activities. Mrs. Brundage, Mrs. Labouseur and Dish IT Up. Announcers Club counts Fatal points.

Awkward and confused, but with plans of suc- cess, the Class of '55 invaded Liberty High School. We immediately set to work planning a well-rounded schedule composed of our own choice of subjects and extra-curricular activities. We filled out blue cards, went for interviews in the Guidance Ofiice, met and made new friends and began our search for know- ledge. We started developing our high ambitions and shining ideals by electing jean McDermott as President and Margiana Tompkins as Vice-President. To assist them were Bill Phillips as Treasurer and Louise Delamater as Secretary. Although the upper classmen might have been slightly dubious, our first attempt at a class party proved a tremendous success. Entitled just Imagine , the show was directed by Miss Mauer and Mr. Carver. A fantasy of life in the future, it was certainly not meant to represent ours. Slowly, rlouly, slowly, lbe days szzrreetled early other. As our Soph Class ofiicers we elected Lee Owens as President, 'lean McDermott as Vice.President, 'tty Scene Xmas Iwi Louise Delamater as Secretary and Herbert Kreindler as Treasurer. After much deliberation a theme for the Soph Party was chosen. We decided to incor- porate a western atmosphere under the title of Gopher junction . Though not too successful we tried to live up to the expectations encouraged among our fellow students by our first party. Towards the end of the year the great moment arrived, We ordered our class jewelry which would serve as a remembrance of our happy days at LHS. We accepted the prestige that went with being upper classmen. Wlvere all men were equal. and all were brotberr and rivers. With a carefree and superior attitude we trooped into school as mighty juniors. Wise and knowing we elected Lee Owens as President, Richard Landry as Vice-President, Louise Delamater as Secre- tary and Robert Martini as Treasurer. Our first dra- matic attempt was Riddle Me Riches , under the direction of Mrs. Dowling. With Jerry Quint as the lead we unfolded a humorous comedy about what happens to an average family when they win a S er Tha-Lt Hans Hours Q UCo HAVEN Sock Q' -gg Cav S'i!'S'l' 0--gsmir Mmkq uv .1-,PUTLQ Yov.yscxe5+H Tkgwg qv-Q, c.t.vi'u.fn+ki'nqS radio contest. The play was charged with laughter, confusion and romance, It proved to be the most successful undertaking of our three years in school. After a heated campaign, Bob Martini and Sandy Wermick won over Jean McDermott and jerry Quint as executives of the Student Council. At length Ibeir lrialr are ended. Poignantly we realized our last year of high school was here. We outlined our remaining months carefully under Jerry Quint as President, Barbara Baker as Vice-President, Louise Delamater as Secre- tary and Richard Landry as Treasurer. Because we were alarmingly low in funds, class members pitched in with amazing team work and made our magazine drive a financial phenomenon for the town of Liberty. The money we raised, thanks also to the interest of the townspeople, sur- passed all expectations and we determined to make our yearbook the best. 1952-53 was indeed packed with activitiesf One event collided with the next as committees busily laid plans during many hours. In November we presented The Youngest , Uerry Quintj, the story -Vmq Sviy of a boy who, with the aid of a young lady. fCarla Wattenbergj, asserted himself in his family. Mrs. Drum, the director who succeeded Miss Rice, challenged our audiences with a play of a more serious nature than any previous play. Next on the agenda was the Christmas Party, the Senior Snowball . Anyone who came, remem- bers our snowballs, the old-fashioned sled and Bob Baldwin as Santa Claus. During all this time, work was proceeding on our yearbook and Senior Banquet. The banquet, held at the Grossinger Hotel was a spirited evenings entertainment. We feel that our Senior year will prove an important part of each students education. Witli this experience behind us we have reached a real understanding of our schoolmates and our faculty. As Seniors we have earned the right to take on responsibility, and as Seniors we wish to reflect on the cooperation. not only of the faculty, but the Board and our parents who have all had a part in giving us these wonderful opportunities, NX'e hope our lives after LHS will be recompense for these good people, May the manv Seniors who come after us maintain standards we have tried to perpetuate.
