Mahopac High School - Wampum Yearbook (Mahopac, NY)

Text from Pages 1 - 64 of the 1941 volume:

Published by the Students of Mahopac Central School Mahopac, New York Ee: Striving to get us to do our best, offering to be our friend, and reaching these goals has endeared Miss | lodge to the Seniors. Innumerable other reasons make us eager and also proud, to dedicate our last important high school task to the one who has been the nearest LO; Us: ADMINISTRATION — knows that the principal and teachers are directly in charge of the school, but it is the Board of Education who has the first responsibility with regard to the work, maintenance, extra-curricular activities — in fact every- thing connected with the whole school. Besides the high teaching standards maintained, in keeping with its policy of providing the students with as fine educational opportunities as possible, the Board invites outstanding persons to participate in assembly programs. Furthermore, any equip- ment needed for teaching more effectively, is provided, includ- ing books and such supplies. Among the more important pro- jects undertaken this year was the completion of the land- scaping of the school grounds, which are truly beautiful and a credit to the community. Another way in which the Board has Epwarp E. Dwyer Pr a. shown its true colors is in its attitude toward the student gOV- rincipal ernment. Ever since the suggestion of having a student council was made, the members of the Board have fostered and en- couraged, in every possible way, ils growth and expansion. All in any way connected with the school, whether teachers or students, cannot help feeling the friendly and helpful interest with which the Board carries out its plans and meets its responsibilities.

Not always have we taken their advice as we should; but we hope they will forget the unpleasant moments and remember the enjoyable times together, of which there has been Full measure. Their kindness and friendliness which makes possible fond memories, will linger with us at all times, for we know there is no better Faculty than the teachers of Mahopac Central School. “What the child is, is the work of God: what he becomes is-the work of the teacher. ” MARCHING ALONG, TWENTY-FOUR SHI GOIN Greet. IRGINIA AGOR, Mrs. Andrews of ‘Winter Sunset,” an actress of recognized dramatic ability, has won the hearts of everyone by her sociability, her diplomacy in the famous senior “scraps, and her energetic nature. — Anne, one of the cheerleading quartet, has busied herself with many activities during her two years in Mahopac: and this popular and ambitious girl is adequately preparing herself for Cornell University’s veterinary college. — Books are Winifred’s specialty, and the library's fiction is no stranger to this likable, quiet Senior. We consider “Winnie” above average scholastically and admire her for her cooperative spirit. Conscientiousness and a vibrant personality are Viola's or “Vi's.” A glad helper and a peppy cheerleader, always eager to do her bit, she’s a popular member of the Washington trippers, — Cheerful and studious Norma, who is rarely without a smile, seems to take pride in her neat appearance and good scholastic record. We have high hopes for “Norm.” — Our class president! Rita not only success- fully led us, but also entered willingly into many of the class's activities. She will always be remembered for her happy spirit, sweet nature, and poise. Ted Curry, a well-liked member of the Class of ‘41, will be long remembered for his interest in sports, his en- thusiasm and cooperation, and above all, his boyish bashfulness. — Quiet, petite, “Bobby” Field has earned the approval of her classmates by her amiability and all around sports- manship. She has been a very busy person, equally active in sports and social organizations. IGE TES igs) SING ae — “Gosh” Ida Crane, a shy, tall Senior looks the world in the face with her lovely dark eyes. She busies herself typing much of the time, particularly for those in distress. — Ralph, generally known as Rufus’ of an easy-going nature, surprised us all when we dis- covered his excellent tenor voice. He's a football player and chorus member, and is generally accepted as a “right, nice ouy. Joe, who was the class treasurer this year, did a most creditable job of handling the Washington dues. He's a quiet, popular fellow who led Mahopac s basketball team. — Blond and bashful Jimmie will stand out in our memories for his friendly smile and slow speech, He was football captain this year and has been a close pal of Joe's through high school.—Phyllis is one of our quieter girls: yet she has proved very capable and has always shown willing helpfulness. Besides typing for the school paper, Phyllis has been active in the Girls Reserve and chorus. Whenever any one mentions snare drums, football, and “brains,” one thinks immediately of George Hunt. George has been with the class two years, and during that time has proved himself most original and outstanding in athletics and musical abil- HO As president of the Student Council John Lorini, good-natured and likable, has proved to be a capable leader. Our dry-witted executive has also participated in most extra-curricular activities. A girl with lots of sparkle, vitality, and “go —that’s Mary. She's always ready to collect money and has become VeLy, popular for her individuality and dry humor. Vircinia Acor ANNE AULBACH WAUNIFRED BEACH Vioua BELLUCCI Norma BuissarD Rira Butironi Ipa L. Crane ‘THEODORE CurRY Barsara A. Fieip JosepH GaNoNnc RatpH GEeorcE James Harkins SINGING A SONG — “Al” is the class s outstanding jitterbug who divides his time between the A. and P. and school. His fun- loving manner and freckles have made Al a pal to all. — “Tootie,’ Frances Savino, is the petite member of the class participating in basketball, Chorus, and “THE MAHOPACKAGE.” She makes up for her size in energy and willingness to ‘do things. Besides, who will forget her big brown eyes? — Carolyn is the truest blond in the class and goes for art in a big way. Always helping and handy, Carolyn is in the Chorus and on the staff of “THE MAHOPACKAGE..” — “Edie Spiotti is the best noted for the way she wields her hockey stick and sinks baskets. She is a member of the Girls’ Reserve and Chorus. Our other Vir- ginia, of the beautiful hands, isa hard worker, a good friend to all, and has definite artistic ability. = Letha, the class beauty, receives credit where it is due. Be- sides looking lovely, Letha lends her soprano voice to the Chorus. — “Glo” is one of those girls who is in everything going on. One always finds her singing, laughing, and dancing; and she knows how! Gloria will surely be successful in her chosen profession, nursing, because of her pleasant, cheerful friendliness. — Last we come to Anita, our “Trudie,” who finds much enjoyment in classic literature and art. Her sincerily and quest for knowledge add to her already attractive personality. There is, however, one without whom our senior story would not be complete. To Mr. Cunningham goes the appreciation of the Seniors for his untiring efforts to make Washington real to us. His sense of humor and grand_ personality made him our choice for class adviser for three years. Georce Hunt Puyuus E. Hyatt Joun Lorin Mary Putnam ALFRED Ruu FRANCES SAVINO Caro.yn A.

This wasn t just an ordinary one, but a long journey to the home of the great white father, where they would visit some of the best and largest tepees in the nation. Anyway, after holding various pow wows and heap big plays, we took the iron horse from New York on Monday, April 14, 1941, and started on the great adventure. Just to make sure we didn t get lost, we invited two counselors, Miss I lodge and Mr. Cunning- ham, to accompany us; and well never forget all they did for us while we were in the great city. Our gide was none other than “Doc,” medicine-man, Burden, who also served as guide for the four other tribes on tour. Of course, you Can imagine what Washington did to us poor little country Indians! Everyone had some special thing to keep under his scalp for many moons to come. Some of us liked the home and office of the oreal chief, while others were satisfied to rest their moccasins at the new residence of the nine old men. The young bucks and braves were most interested in the F. B. |. where some of the best tomahawk wielders in the land come from. We want wampum! ’ was the cry of the Scotch Indians as they cast their eyes upon stacks and stacks of it in the Treasury. These places were fun, but what sentimental Indian from the land of the sky blue waters doesn t like to see the more imposing side of Washington? We did, and these I 8 g impressions will remain with us until we go to our happy hunting ground. Who could forget the majestic beauty of the Lincoln Memorial, or the quiet simplicity of the Franciscan Monastery? The home of the first white chief, George Washington, Was an inspiration to us all; and the few of us who ventured forth in the hig “sky bird” that same day, will dream of this often. Yes, tours were interesting, but every Indian must have an occasional war dance, so we got out our best war bonnets al night and started a series of pow wows. Maybe we re prejudiced, but we think that we had the best tepee in Washington, the Hotel Ebbitt where many black squaws helped to make us happy. They even understood that we had to throw water out of the windows to appease the rain gods! We cant talk about our journey without some mention of George, who drove our streamlined “travois through the heavy heat and traffic of Wash- ington. He was indeed a kind, Friendly paleface, and we would have been lost without him. Now that we have returned to our native hunting grounds and lodges, we are ready to squat around our camplire and happily smoke our peace pipes, thinking dreamily of our southward trip, long over—the only one from which we did not return with paleface scalps! Anticipating senior high school, the seventh and eighth sraders plan small trip and such activities as the Flag Day Program presented by the eighth grade. The “Freshies’ and. their parties; the “Suffermores’, the “inbetweens’’; and the Juniors, who gave four one-act plays: all look forward to the day when as Seniors, not underclassmen, they will not say, ‘ashington, here we come!” , 29 but, “Washington here we are! amen fai WAMPUM. IN LEGEND J NIB CIRC Nii: ao.” back to their high school days the Class of °41 will have no cause to say, | did Jimmy graduate with us?” The hard work and initiative of Editor, Viola Bellucci; Pho- tography Manager, Gloria Welch: Business Manager, Mary Putnam; Art Editor, Carolyn Smith; and Adviser, Miss Uelz- mann; have combined to present to the students, faculty and friends a praiseworthy yearbook. Legends were written by Vir- ginia gor, George Hunt, Mary Putnam, Anita Ziegler, Rita Butironi, Anne Aulbach, and John Lorini. Early in the fall, classes were found seated on damp terraces bucking strong winds, but smiling convincingly for the photog- rapher. Mr. Cunningham caught the teams as they really were in action. So we give you the facts and figures, pictures and prologues, Washington and works, of the Class of “41. iNele ge CISA Nae the organization of the Student Council a thing of the past, the work of the present began: that of making the school better for both students and teachers, by incorporating suggestions of both into the rules set up by the Council. This year the Council inaugurated a new system whereby there is less teacher discipline, and more student supervision. Blue and yellow tags were hung in each room; and in order to leave the class, a student had to have one of the blocks. In this way only two students could be out of the room at the same time, eliminating congestion in the halls. A new seating arrangement in assembly was put into practice, in which each class has its own particular place, Mr. Hollstein, one of the advisers of the Council, left in the middle of the year, and Mr. Dwyer appointed Mr. Margison to take his place. All in all, the Council had a very successful year, due to the willingness to cooperate, that prevailed among the stu- dents. Mr. Dwyer and the Board also deserve a vote of thanks because of their help and sympathy with the Council's plans. TEA COOPERATE {hie Service Squad consists of students from each home room, who, under the direc- tion of Captain Warren Prosperi, enforce the laws passed by the Council. Between classes, squad members are stationed at the dozen posts designated throughout the build- ing, to direct traffic. This system has worked out very well, and most of the confusion in the halls at that time has been eliminated. Members of the Service S quad are also on duty at school activities such as basketball games, and plays. The Squad has proved invaluable to the Council; without it, the governing body would be powerless to carry out its laws. Each member of the squad has tickets, to give to those violating regulations. The offending student must then report to the Student Court, consisting of the President, Vice-President, two advisers, and a secretary of the Council. There the case is discussed, and a penalty is meted out. In this manner, the whole school is conducted like a miniature state, which not only provides a better attitude and atmosphere, but also teaches the students something of the obligations they will have to fulfill after they leave school. ie Mr. DeVries raises his baton for the down-beat, the blue and vold uniformed students await their cue to sound forth in harmonious melody. The school band which consists of thirty-two members is the pride of all Mahopacians. These boys and girls meet twice a week to practice numerous arrange- ments for their many activities. This year they have been exceptionally busy playing for the school basketball games and participating in assembly pro- Mr. Witsur DeVries : grams throughout the year. Recently the group went to Carmel Director where they gained the admiration and approval of their pleased audience by their own interpretation of several compositions. They were a special attraction at the Oratorical Contest and did a fine piece of work when they gave a cordial “send of” to the first call of drafted men from Putnam County. In the musical organizations of our school, we find the real talent of the students. The clear, ringing tones of the glee club have thrilled many audiences and have held them enchanted through various performances. This will be the third consecutive AND THE BAND Notes To Yo u year that Director DeVries, and his choral group of forty members go to Haldane for the annual concert. There upon the stage, you will see sopranos, altos, tenors, and bases, from schools throughout the county, combined to entertain through song. These extra-curricular musical organizations are the out-growth of the musical program of the school. From the kindergarten, where our youngest have a thythm band, through the high school, which has classes in music theory, the boys and girls have singing periods, as well as instruction on instruments of teir choice. In some instances, students learn to play instruments, which they ordinarily would not buy themselves, when the school purchases them to augment the band. Biel) ON ONT PiEeAlin HE Radio-Drama Workshop has gone on to newer heights. Under the able cuidance of Mr. Towey, directors, as well as Thespians budded. At Christ- mas Dickens’ “Christmas Carol” came over the broadcasting sys- tem to students and later to a P.T.A. meeting. In the spring the stage-minded enjoyed “Life With Father’ in New York. ONES Gai aL NES ONS innovation in Junior Class proceedings brought the Workshop into the limelight. With the Juniors, they presented the annual one-act play contest. The combined casts produced, under Mr. Towey s harried but capable direction, “Who Gets the Car Tonight?’ a farce: “Winter Sunset’, a melodrama: “Grandma Pulls the Strings another comedy; and “The Inn of Return”. a mystery drama and the winner. CAMERA GIG fees My.) Cums ningham or some of his “shutterbugs , are trying to get different and_ better snapshots. Good pictures resulted as the members learned developing and printing of films, and enlarging and mounting of prints. Some worked on portraits, oil and water coloring, toning and still-life pho- tography. With this knowledge, a few camera enthusiasts helped Mr. Cunningham provide pic- ? tures for “The Wampum : FOURTH ES bawae ya OU want to subscribe to THE -MAHOPACK- AGE, dont you? Throughout the year a willing staff of re- porters, typists, and cartoonists diligently labored to give the Mahopac students a paper, com- ing out each week on Friday, worthy of their support. Ted Curry guided these “fourth es- taters half the year, and Anne Aulbach the remaining time, with the capable advice of Miss Uelzmann. CAIRIESy RESERVE REE, lancers are they — all baking delicious cakes, dye- ing scarves, making Christmas baskets, going roller skating — what more could one ask? The Girls’ Reserve’, who have as advisor, Miss Bryan, runs the gauntlet of activities and does a grand job, as results show. The meetings are always held in the homemaking room where varied desires are fulfilled. HLWIDE AND... HE Hi-Y started out with twenty-six members who en- joyed the Army-Brown game at West Point. They again held a successful triple-header basket- ball game. As their latest project, they drew up a_ constitution. Note, please, that most members and the adviser excel in many sports; but what makes them really different is meeting every other Monday night. Yes, they re really ‘‘tops’’. = Pine iCS esi ey ae Sa ee a et COACHES N any educational program, all around development of boys and girls should be the aim. One of the most important phases of physical education is athletics, which is integrated with extra-curricular activities and is significant in building character, poise, emotional stability, initiative, and perseverence, as well as sound physical bodies—all of which are essential aspects of a wholesome life. Whereas physical education classes are compulsory, competitive athletics are not. The student joins a team on his own initiative and remains on it as long as he does his best. It is an honor and a privilege to represent our school on its athletic teams. Instead of interscholastic girls’ sports, Miss Bryan planned an jntramural system whereby more girls get an opportunity to earn letters. Working on the point system, intramural contests are held in the major sports. Tournaments such as archery, horseshoes, ping-pong, and badminton are also held. A total of five hundred points during a school year entitles a girl to a letter. Thus, more girls are given a chance to enjoy sports. SIXTEEN... FORTY-THREE.. Si:VEING sigs HIS year s squad though small was high-spirited, some proving their loyalty by walking home seven miles each night after practice. Mahopac, despite its record of four defeats and two ties, placed three men on the first all-county team. Captain Jimmy Harkins, at tackle, proved to be a stone wall on defense and a pile-driving blocker on offense. John Donelli at end, thrilled the crowd with his pass catching. Scoring on three of the tosses, his work was well deserving of the credit he received. The third was Bob Maffay, stalwart center, whose passing and backing up the line made certain his birth on the mythical eleven. Another whose work should be praised is Art Lazarus; he, along with Harkins, was the backbone of the Mahopac defense. Playing half-back he showed himself an able back for any team. The games provided many thrills for the loyal fans who, after getting “fall fever,” turned out to cheer their team on. 34 SOUR) IS IN SESSION eae again proved the most popular sport at Mahopac. Large crowds attended at home and away, to cheer the local hoop- sters. The fans were rewarded for their loyalty as Mahopac won. its share of games and put up excellent battles even when defeated. Few will soon forget the wild Shrub Oak game when the winning basket was made, with five seconds to go—by the opponents. Nor will we forget the St. Mary s contest which was won in a three minute overtime period after a stormy argument. After that, the blood pressure of many will never be the same. Captain Joe Ganong did a great job as the spark plug of the quintet, The center of the attack, he was in there fighting every minute. Tito Dalbo took the lead in scoring with 121 points, and was closely followed by John Donelli and Joe Ganong. All in all, the team met our expectations. TRACK TEADILY Mr. Foote, the track coach, is building a track team and also a reputation for Mahopac. Under his guidance they opened the season by breaking the two-mile record at the Westchester Relay Carnival in White Plains. Mr. Foote is also looking forward to breaking the 880 and a few more relay records. Other county teams will again feel the force of Mahopac s strong runners. You may rest assured the local sprinters will again dig their spikes into the cinders and come through in the stretch, supplying our share of winners. ROG aNOQNee Wee eM Wye another large baseball squad, Mahopac again turns its hopes to a successful baseball season. The fielding and hitting is above that of last year, the only deficiency being in the pitching staff. Coach Grant is being ably assisted by Mr. Wilson, all of which adds up to predict a more successful season this year. With this squad asa nucleus, Coach Grant should be able to build teams for the next two years, as there are only two seniors and two juniors among the regulars now. GIANT AY VEE plies giant J. V. team provided their share of thrills in the preliminary basketball games this year. With a team that dwarfed the varsity in size, as four of the squad are over six feet, they always supplied a good opener. Mr. Margison did a fine job as coach. He was a real pal and friend as well as instructor. The team has greal possibilities for varsity next year. With a little polish added to their natural ability and size, they should keep Mahopac at the head of the list in the next few years, FOOTE’SBALL. WA the terrific Mahopac Chiefs took the field in the 1940 season, they meant ‘ business. With triple reverses, cross bucks, fakes and every other trick in the book, they smashed through opponents right and left. Losing only two games in the [ast two years, the crimson jerseyed warriors, under the coaching of Mr. Foote, assisted by Mr. Wilson, aroused terror in all opposition. The Chiefs displayed fine blocking, tackling, broken field running and that all-essen- tial team work. Just wait until this team plays varsity! me ee OS OO Bok es BASKETBALL oa HO plays today?” “The Juniors and Sen- iors.
