MANCHESTER HIGH SCHOOL Presents THE l948 EDITION f The Green Light Dedication . . We, the members oi the Class of 1948, respectfully dedicate this issue of The Green Light to Miss Doris Anne Flaherty. Her Wit and originality, combined with determined awmbition and un- seltish effort, have made the last two years of our high school life pleas- urable and profitable. We extend to her our sincere gratitude and best wishes for a success- ful and happy career . . . both professional and domestic. Charles W. Spangle INTRODUCTION . . OUR PRINCIPAL . . . It a stranger were to enter the portals of Manchester High School during a school day he would first seek the office. Maybe he would have to inquire it's location first, but once inside he would be greeted by a pair of merry blue eyes and a congenial personality. Yes, that our Mr. Spangle . . always sym- pathetic to our troubles and solicitous of our needs. Mere words couldn't express our grati- tude to him for the many favors he has be- stowed and the wise bits of counsel he has so generously given. Board of Education . . . They have their happy moments, their solemn ones and their share ot problems. That's our Board. Many thanks are conveyed to them for their understanding and their interest in the welfare of our school. ONE IVI0lVlENT'S REFLECTION . . THE BULWARK OF SUCCESS As we glance through the pages of this book with its many photo- graphs, we have atmple opportunity to see ourselves as others see us in the physical aspect. Shall we boast a bit and say that We are not dis- pleased with what we see? For truly, here We find a very representative group of young Americans at work in this field of education, through the varying stages of physical growth from the earliest years of elemen- tary training through the more and more advanced levels of secondary learning. What if we were privileged to view our mental capacities and growth as objectively as the camera reflects our physical likeness . . would we be as well satisfied with the result? .lust as one looks into a mirror to take stock of his appearance, and as he uses that mirror as a guide in making himself as presentable as possible to his associates, let us imagine that we may get a similar glimpse into our intellect . . and thus deter- mine whether or not we are casting a favorable reflection . . the best of which we are capable . . upon the society in which we live. It will be difficult for us to be as frank as the mirror or as candid as the camera. VV'e shall have to consider certain standards and then be honest with our- selves in determining to what extent we measure up to what may rightly be expected of us as educated individuals in our homes, or school, the church, the community, and the world in which we live. As measuring sticks, we might ask ourselves countless questions. Here are a few which might be considered: Do we take advantage of the learning aids which are constantly being offered to us? Have we learned to discipline our minds to certain funda- mental, basic truths and yet developed the ability to think for ourselves and to have the courage of our convictions? Are we tolerant? Do we respect the rights and privileges of those about us? Are we free from prejudices of race, creed and color? Do we make every effort to be as well informed as may be expected of us in matters of local and universal interest? Do we realize that we must share in the responsibilities of society and that we cannot hope to succeed if we Self- ishly isolate ourselves and ignore the problems of our fellow men? Have we a goal, and are we aware of the steps which lead to its attainment? Finally, will we be ready to take our places in the world and meet the challenges of life admirably? We may well profit, too, by giving careful thought to the following quotations and then forming our own opinions as to their significance: The sure foundations of the State are laid in knowledge, not in ignorance, and every sneer at education, at culture, and at book- learning, which is the recorded Wisdom of the experience of man- kind, is the demagogue's sneer at intelligent liberty, inviting na- tional degeneracy and ruin. -G. W. Curtis. Education is a debt due from the present to future generations. -George Peabody. Instruction ends in the school room, but education ends only with life. -F. W. Robertson. Our Faculty . . . Seated--Miss Mertz, Miss Strong, Mr. Spangle, Mr. Natoli, Miss Diana, Miss Rogers. Standing-Mr. Chapman, Mrs. Silces, Miss Dayton, Mrs. Galbraith, Miss DeGrace, Miss Flaherty, Mrs. Perry, Mrs. Lamphier, Miss Shelly, Miss Hoeschele, Miss Levante. Gone are the days of the Whip, the rod and the stereotyped school teacher. Instead We have teachers who better understand the moods and the needs of the students. We have teachers who are ready to cope with the eras of the sling shot, bean shooter, Water gun and what have you, with the reservation that they were kids once, too. But more than that our teachers are conscious of a duty they :must perform . . that of increas- ing knowledge and guiding young minds into fitting channels of lite. We appreciate each and every one of our teachers, not only tor what they have done for us but for what they they themselves are. AS WE MR. SPANGLE ....A.,... MR. NATOLI ..A.,... .,.., MR. CHAPMAN .,...... MISS FLAHERTY ,...,... ..,.. MISS DE GRACE KNOW OUR TEACHERS At the head of the family tree Is a man we're proud to proclaim. He listens to all our troubles and pleas, But can smile just the same. Hammers, nails, saws and screws . . Boards and drills and awls. A handy man and a pleasant one, too, When we meet him in the halls. Football, baseball, basketball and such Keep our sports-loving boys on the beam. But there's one special guy who has done very much For the school, for himself and the team. Stern at times but still she smiles . . Willing to help in any way. She's cheerful, friendly all the While, But alas! Her heart has been stolen away. A popular room for the feminine crowd, Which breathes of domestic life. A competent teacher who shows the girls how To become worthy homemakers and wives. MISS HOESCHELE MISS DIANA ......4.. MRS. SIKES .II..I.. MRS. LAMPHIER ,........,.... MISS LEVANTE ,.V..... MRS. PERRY ........ A brand new faculty member is she, As pleasant as the day is long, Who's made our halls resound with glee . . Who faces life with a song. Quite petite, stylish and neat, A teacher Who's right on the beam. Her teaching tactics are hard to beat. Social Studies and she make a team. Nightingale of the faculty . . Quite a mathematical whiz, Blessed with loquacious personality, She's a teacher who is! Caeser to Cicero, Browning to Burns, Take in a mighty scope. But this teacher really tmakes the kids learn She is the Seniors' hope. The shortest teacher on the faculty Is this serious minded lass, Who's handy with the typewriter key And conducts the Business Class. Science classes are really Worthwhile With this person short and sweet, Who always wears a charming smile, Combined with wardrobe neat. , ,,,, ,.,. .. I FOREWORD . . . The Manchester Address One decade and two years ago our fathers sent forth upon this conti- nent thirty-one sons and daughters to Manchester High School. Now we are about to graduate, but it seems twelve short years ago that we, wide-eyed and eager to learn, began our ever-memorable school days. '- .. , t 13 sz-3 , ,L Q4 if .,:.. 5, .,,:,., -:::E if 'R X t w -1. Margaret Boardman here, certainly looks eager! We are met on a great battle field and we have come to dedicate a portion of that field as a final learning place for those who are yet to take our places that the school might continue to operate. But in a larger sense, we cannot dedf icate, we cannot concentrate, we cannot hallow this school without first paying homage to those who helped us on the road to success. Marguerite Twentyiive . . angelic vision ot pre-school days! Our A, B, C's and l, 2, 3's were introduced to us by Miss Seaman. It was there that we as little tots learned to read a little and write our names. As a first grader, Maxine enjoys an after-school romp in the snow. Miss Clint in second grade was quite a Ruler. Naughty little boys and girls were tapped gently when misbehaving. These were only love taps as we learned later on. The Shepard of the flock in the third grade taught us to paint and many is the day we ran home with a masterpiece to our mothers. Our first history lesson was a memorable event for we've been having history ever since. ln the fourth grade, Miss Dayton taught us things like the Civil War, Abraham Lincoln, etc. As a fourth grader, Jean Pierce brings teacher some posies. A house divided against itself cannot stand. But we proved the contrary. We were divided in the fifth grade. Half of us were with Mrs. Galbraith, while the rest were un- der the guidance of Miss O'Harrigan. There were Indian villages constructed, roller skating parties and plenty of learnin'. Ill This is how some of us did our learnin . United we stand . . in the sixth grade. Miss Gilman was ever ready to instill in us a good preparation for Junior High School. Hurrah! No more one-room classes. Instead we passed from Mrs. Galbraith's room to Miss Proechel's, thus creating an atmospheric change throughout the day. Our first taste of Regents came in the eighth grade. Miss Mertz made her debut at M.H.S. that year and we were fortu- nate to be the first to come under her influence. Miss Hunt- ington, our English teacher, became Mrs. Timbrell, and Miss Clocksin showed us the inside business oi cats, rats, worms, etc. Now we were little green frogs in a big puddle, and Miss Augustine was ruler of the roost. We'll always remember our Vic dance that wasn't. But we made money though. Mr. Kaufman was our Freshman Advisor. Little did Ruth Crowell realize the disadvantages of Www i A JP being a Frosh when this picture wus taken. From the Greek, the word Sophomore means wise fool, W, at em and oh how wise we thought we were! We chose Miss Zi- is bella as our Advisor and sailed through a quiet year, with our big event being the Soph I-lop. . ,.... .. .,.. -gm , ,'-.,:: 1r:a:-2-:asiasr if ' X x it as t 31?

Vxfith Miss Flaherty as our Ad- visor we presented our first social event of the year . . the Turkey Hop lpronounced f-l-o-pl. But the appearance of Pete and .loe brought our bank roll to an enviable size. We may be half-baked, but We've really risen in the dough! Just for pleasure, we all Went roller skating and near the close of the school year We entertained the Seniors at a picnic. We have trudged the long, hard road and now as Seniors We feel We have done something. Our Senior year has been filled with many happy moments. The Senior play turned out a huge success and enabled us to purchase our gift to the school, the Scoreboard, which will serve as a reminder of all the happy moments we spent in the cherished halls of M.l'l.S. Sammy and Deannie, complete with doll, found posing for a picture, not half as much fun as their Senior year. We had parties just for the class . . one at l'lalloWe'en and one at Christmas. Pete and Joe came back for a repeat per- formance and once again We Were rich . . really rich! East side, West side, all around the toWn New York. Mag- nificence . . skyscrapers . . glamour . . all rolled up in a fun- packed five days. The VanZile-conducted tour provided thrills galore! The memories of our Senior trip we'll hold forever in our hearts. Dorothy Hawkes looks as if she's all dressed up rwii to take a stroll down Fifth Avenue! Senior ball . . lilting music . . boy escorts girl. What a fit- ting climax to a year of so many happenings. Marilyn and Maxine might consider bicycling to the graduating platform. The world will little note nor long remember what We say here, but We can never forget what we did here. lt is for us, the graduates, to dedicate here the other classes to the un- finished Work which We have thus far so nobly advanced. lt is rather for us to be here dedicated to the great task re- maining before us, that we highly resolve that these classes shall not have worked in vain, and that Manchester High School of the students, by the teachers and for the students shall not perish from this earth. THE CLASS OF 1948 CHAPTER l A New Door Opens . . . Once upon a time . . not so long ago, twenty-two bewildered children looked with reverence upon the graduating class of that year and realiz- ed. that they would have a long, tough climb to get to the top. Well, they did it. They climbed step by step and now they are ready to take the final pstep to the graduating platform. HERE THEY ARE . . ALL TWENTY-TWO OF THEM. OUR SENIORS!

There is always a secret behind a closed door, but the greatest surprise of all is when the men and women of tomorrow find themselves facing wise old world. We may look at these students and see in them our fut- and make the best of what it has to offer. Others cringe, never seek new horizons and are content to burrow into a rut for the rest of their lives. No one knows how Chapter Five will end. Our portals are sending out twenty-two boys and girls who are to try their luck at combating the wise old world. We may look at these students and see in them our fut- ure doctors, lawyers, nurses, teachers, businessmen, parents, farmers and cogs in the machinery of industry. Whatever they will represent, Man- chester High School has been proud to call them her own. So go out triumphantly, Seniors. Face this weary old world. No one can say what it has in store for you, but your school can say that it is giving this world a generous portion of the men and Women of tomorrow. :-THE END-1 V E - ' T' f ' ' 1' e ellwl. a s f01,, E E ' A95 r I K F Acknowledgments . . . . .
