This building is a manifestation of American democracy in that it gives all the young people of Lockport an equal opportunity at a good education, adapted to their individual needs. The citizens of Lockport made the build- ing possible after being convinced of its need and demonstrating their feelings at the polls. The beautiful building shows the quality of educational facilities that American people feel is right for Amrican youth. The Forum Staff hopes that as the reader goes through the day in this book, he will remember his own days in the first year at the new Lockport Senior High School. DEDICATIDN At the close of the first school year in the new Lockport Senior High School, the building stands a proven contribution to the city of Lockport. Its service can be measured by its important role in the education of the youth of Lockport, and also by other community services such as the holding of adult education classes, and Community Concerts. The Forum Staff looks back with affection on its first year at the new school and with this in mind fondly dedicates this issue to the new Lockport Senior High School. 4 SCHEDULE of EVENTS September 7 September 24 October 7 October 11 October 12 October 27 October 28 November 5 November 11 November 18-19 November 24-25 November 29 December 1-3 December 8 December 19 Dec. 21-Jan. 2 December 28 January 23-26 February 13 February 27-28 March 13 Mar. 29-Apr. 6 April 24 April 26-27 May 18 May 30 june 1 June 15-21 june 22 June 24 june 25 School Opens First Football Game Du Bois Yearbook Clinic Rochester Election of Student Council Officers Magazine Campaign Opens Columbus Day Student Council Banquet Western Zone Teachers Conference Area Hi-Y Conference Hobo's Holiday Veterans Day All State-West Seneca Thanksgiving First Basketball Game All State-Albany First Swimming.

JAMMER .ul 8 The new high school owes a vote of thanks for its existence to the members of the Board of Education and the citizens whom they repre- sent. This civic-minded organization is demo- cratically elected by the people of Lockport. The Board of Education serves without pay in solving problems in the Lockport Public Schools and in seeing that they are operated efliciently. The desire of the Board to fulfill the needs of the population of Lockport is well demon- strated by the New Lockport Senior High School. School Superintendent Lockport's Superintendent of Schools, Mr. George F. Jammer, is an experienced adminis- trator in the field of education. He has served in Lockport since 1945, and as Superintendent he is the executive officer of the Board of Education. It is his duty to run the school system in the best interests of all involved, and in conjunction with the policies of the Board. Mr. Jammer, too, has played a key role in achieving our dream of the new high school. DR. LLOYD F. MCINTYRE Dr. Lloyd F. McIntyre is completing his ninth year as principal of Lockport Senior High School and, like everyone else, has looked for- ward to his first year in the new building. Many thanks go to him for his help in setting in motion the new program and in adjusting the school life of Lockport Senior High School to the new building. Dr. Mclntyre attended Buffalo State Teach- ers' College and was awarded his B.S in Edu- cation there. He received his M.A. at the University of Michigan and his doctorate in education at the University of Buffalo. PRINCIPAL and VICE-PRINCIPAL MR. FRED B. CASE Mr. Fred B. Case has demonstrated a wide range of ability through his work in his new positions in Lockport Senior High School. He has served this year as vice-principal where he is in charge of attendance and discipline, and he has also acted as head coach of the basketball team. Mr. Case was granted his B.S. degree at Edinboro State Teachers' College and his M.S. at Buffalo State Teachers' College. , MRS. MARGARET HOCH MR. SAMUEL NEIVERT GUIDANCE Mrs. Margaret Hoch is completing three and a half years as Girls' Guidance Counselor in L.S.H.S. with this year spent in the brand new suite of guidance ofhces. Mrs. Hoch received her B.A. at Ball State Teachers' College and her M.A. from the same school. PARTMENT Mr. Samuel Neivert has served for three years now as Boys' Guidance Counselor and he too appreciates the facilities of the new building. Cornell University can claim Mr. Neivert as its own, as he obtained both his B.A. and his M.A. there. ,H 10 Mrs. Hoch and Mr. Neivert help solve guidance problems for all stu- dents. In this instance they are counseling Jack Rising, Bob St. Onge, and Linda Richards to whose futures they hold the key.

Gay, Chairman of Advisers. Cheers for the Class of '56! It's the first class to graduate from the new L.S.H.S. Their year was filled with many exciting and memorable events! The officers elected to guide them through the year were: john Furlong, Presidentg Paul Taylor, Vice-President, Barbara Baker, Secretary, and Joyce Watson, Treasurer. Mr. Donald Gay, chairman of advisers, did a fine job in helping the officers carry out their duties. As in the past two years, the class again led the school in magazine sales. To accomplish this goal, they held the Senior's March on Magazines. In November, the first dance, Hobo's Holiday, was held in the school cafeteria. It was a huge success, both socially and financially. The Christmas season was highlighted by the traditional Holly Hop. This was the first dance in the big new gym. The theme brought winter indoors with two trees at each end of the fioor and a myriad of picturesque snowflakes suspended from the ceiling. Climaxing the year were the Senior Picnic, the Senior Breakfast, Class Day and the junior Prom. At last in June the ambition of the 1956 Seniors was fulfilled. They became the first class to graduate from the new and beautiful high school on Lincoln Avenue. 16 F 5: 5 si FRANK ABRAMS JOAN AIKIN Chico foams Small and cute . . . Business . . .

The first event, Business-Industrial-Education Day, came at the be- ginning of December when the class members toured numerous places of industry and business in Lockport. December also brought the election of the class officers: Dyson Gay, President, Gary Randolph, Vice-Presidentg Linda Culver, Secretary, Chris- tine Gentile, Treasurer. Miss Laura jean Wheadrick, chairman of advisers, with all the other junior homeroom teachers, did a splendid job in super- vising the various activities. Next came the ordering of class rings. In order that they might receive their class rings earlier than members of previous classes had done, this year's juniors started taking orders for the rings in January. In March, the class sponsored a successful St. Patrick's Day Dance. Quite naturally the decorations consisted of symbols appropriate to St. Patrick's Day. To climax their junior year, the Class of '57 sponsored the traditional junior Prom on june 1 in honor of the Senior Class. This was the first junior Prom held in the new gym and careful planning made the dance a lasting tribute to the Seniors. The Class of '57 will remember this first year in the new school as a very active and enjoyable one. 37 ix 13 H HOMEROOM 202 MISS DOROTHEA CALLAHAN First Row: S. Murphy, J. Morningstar, C.

Practice in citizenship, development of leadership, participation in representative government in action, describe the opportunities offered by the Student Coun- cil at Lockport Senior High School. The Council, made up of all homeroom presidents, was formed early in the fall. Two slates of candidates for Student Council ofiices were chosen by a vote of the student body. Two groups of four nominees each formed the Blue and the Gold parties. Three days of vigorous campaigning followed. Posters, songs, skits, and speeches were used by the candidates and their supporters. Wheii the campaign ended, four students emerged victorious. The Student Association chose President, Chester Czekajg Vice-president, Ronald Knightg Secretary, joan Gambinog and Treasurer, Nancy Verity. Almost immediately the Council was enmeshed in the annual magazine drive, which with the help of some super salesmen , netted nearly S5000 to be used to bolster the budgets of several school organizations. 66 STUDENT COUNCIL OFFICERS First Row: joan Gambino Secretaryg Nancy Verity, Treas urerg Ronald Knight, Vice Presidentg Miss Dorothea Calla han, Adviser.

Assignments were made out by the Towpath staff department heads and given to reporters. The completed articles went then to the English teachers for checking and proof-reading. Next, the corrected articles were passed to the typing staff who typed the articles in duplicate. The layout staff then took the articles and placed them in position on the dummy sheet. The news- paper set-up, now completed, was ready for the Union Sun 8: Journal. 68 TK '53 C if K ' Lf .... .

The remaining meetings were programs prepared by the club's members. The Dramatic Club has given the students an oppor- tunity to learn many phases of the theatre this year.

Downey, Coordinator of Pupil Personnel Services. A trip to Buffalo State Teachers' College gave mem- bers a glimpse of college life. Another feature of their activities was a teaching experience program. Each stu- dent, for two full days, acted as assistant instructor to a teacher in the Lockport School System. This organization proved extremely interesting to those who plan to enter the teaching profession. 74 First Row: S. Hartfield, R. Lombardo, K. Keep, V. Wheaten, L. Wright, B. Gray, L. Krutenat, K.

Football Lions did not fare so well as they might have in the 1955 season, they did succeed in break- ing a thirteen game losing streak with a 6-0 victory over Trott Vocational High School. The Trott contest was a rough and tumble affair climaxed by John Furlong's pinpoint pass to Russ Micoli in the Trott end zone with less than 12 seconds remain- ing in the second quarter. In the final game of the year, Coach Vic Cleri's boys garnered a 13-13 tie with LaSalle. Furlong sparked the club all year at quarterback while Fred Gottman, Dick Smith, and Micoli were all valuable assets in the backlield. A transfer from Kansas City, Dave Rollert, was a powerhouse at the tackle position. Coach Vic Cleri was at the helm for his first year as L.S.H.S.'s head football coach.

Lockport won, 6-0. 79 The junior Varsity Football team surprised everyone except coaches Joe Felice and Frank Java by coming in with a fine 2-2 record. Standouts on this year's team and fine looking prospects for next year are: Dick Cain, Bob Tanis, Chuck Covell, Bob Velia, Jim Perry, Roy Pipitone, Pete VanDeMark, john Sanney, Mario Angelucci, Dwight Sossong, jim Gomesky, Albert Rose, Lee Lewis and joe Sansone.

As the first half of the Lockport basketball season ended, the Lions had a 4-6 record. The season was started on the right foot with a new head coach, Fred Case, as the courtmen defeated Newfane twice, 68-53 and 42-39. Nelson Gould was the leading Lockport scorer, while Bob Sterritt, john Furlong, and Lou Koel contributed greatly to the Lion cause. Following these two wins, the Lions journeyed to Royalton Hartland and whipped the host team 53-42. In the first game in our new Lockport gym, The Gold and Blue fell to Tonawanda 62-53 with Gould and Furlong pacing the Lions in scoring. The high point of the season thus far came at Niagara Falls when the Lions clubbed the host outfit for their first victory there in 14 years. Fine backboard control and a tight defense was the key to the victory. After this fine start the Lions went into a tailspin dropping to Lackawanna, Trott, Kenmore, North Tonawanda, and LaSalle. The North Tonawanda and LaSalle games were lost by a margin of 3 points 46-44 and 79-78. In North Tonawanda, Keith Forsey, Dick Hodges, Dave Weber, Dud Few and Daunt Stenzel stepped off the bench, trailing 44-37, with a minute and a half left in the game. A magnificent rally just fell short as N.T. eked out a 46- 44 decision. In their best offense for this season the Lions lost a 79-78 overtime verdict to LaSalle. john Furlong set a new L.H.S. scoring record with 35 points in a losing effort. The season was not a total loss however. Along with the fine play of Lou Koel, and Nels Gould, Ron Gunby, Keith Forsey, and Rich Cheatham have blossomed forth as excellent varsity prospects. Lions graduating or ineligible to play next season are Daunt Stenzel, Dud Few, john Furlong, Doug Pies, Bob Sterritt, Bob Murray, Dick Hodges, and Dave Weber. 80 ' X n 'W N!'? 9' Q.
