Who will forget the first time the school sang the new Alma Mater together, the suspense of waiting for election returns, the football game that ended on Solvay’s one-yard line, and the first time the basketball team took over the court? With the first annual “Oak Leaves”, we have tried to recall all these events, dedicated to the symbol of Fayetteville-Manlius, the Oak Tree. We have built this book around the tree: its sections signifying the parts of the school, and the complete tree, its unity. Its Roots represent the teachers; its Trunk, the student body; its Bark, the traditions; its Branches, the many activities; and its Leaves, the Seniors, changing every year. r «- -I ' 1 L 1 .

T CLASS We entered the halls of knowledge as rather green Freshmen, and perfect foil for the Seniors’ initiation. Elected to guide the Class of ’54 were Jack Estabrook, President; Julie Hopkins, Vice-President; Jim Fowler, Secretary; and Bob Koonce, Treasurer. The “Sno-Ball” was our first dance. As Sophomores, we were caught up in the social whirl, but found time to knock on doors and sell stationery to aid class finances. We put on the “Pilgrims’ Prom” and elected Jerry Irish, President; Ann McCormick, Vice-President; Bob Erb, Secretary; and Ray Falso, Treasurer. Excited that we were now upperclassmen, we chose Paul Bucklin, President; Gretchen Koehring, Vice-President; Jerry Irish, Secretary; and Ray Falso, Treasurer—again! A highlight of the year was the selection of Gretchen Koehring, Katie Norman, Jerry Irish and Paul Bucklin as candi- FAYETTEVILLE dates for Student Council President. Paul won after a spirited campaign during which many new ideas were brought forth by all sides. The “Junior Prom”, presented with the grandeur of the Coronation, brought the year to an end. And So To Sleep Informal Party Caucus Innocence of Youth SENIORS The past year has been one of getting acquainted, setting goals, making history, and starting traditions. Setting the pace for the rest of FMHS were the guiding lights of the seniors, ably led by Carroll Blake, president; John Smith, vice-president; Julie Hopkins, secretary; and Ray Falso, treasurer. The ambitious upperclassmen began their money-making schemes with the sale of magazines followed by the production of student directories. (The profits of the directories went to the yearbook staff for this bigger and better yearbook.) After much delay, deliberating, discussing and designing, freshmen initiation came off with a bang! After several weeks of recovery, however, the frosh were back on their seats (that is, feet) again. The seniors were in the limelight from time to time. Paul Bucklin and Bob Dudley are to be commended for their wonderful work on Student Council. Ann McCormick and Andy Graham were celebrities for having been to Europe as exchange students last summer. Siebren Cnossen, our foreign student, will always be remembered for his assemblies on Holland. Dick LaForte and Phil Moore were selected for the All-County Football teams; Carroll Blake, Fred Chase, and Jack Estabrook also received recognition. [10] HISTORY We began as freshmen by choosing Lois Tuttle as president; Martha Louttit, vice-president; Florence Goodfellow, secretary, and Bob Dudley, treasurer. The seniors took us in hand, welcoming us with freshman initiation in the fall. In the spring, we held our successful first dance, “The Cotton Ball.” We elected Dick Lowenberg as our sophomore president; Alice Eaton, vice-president; Patricia Baker, secretary; and Bob Ryan, treasurer. After home basketball games, we sponsored record dances. In the spring, our dance, aptly named “The Spring Fling,” was lots of fun. For junior class officers, we again chose Dick Lowenberg, president, with an eye to the 22nd Amendment; Jack Bligh, vice-president; Annette Thisse, secretary, and Bob Dudley, treasurer. During Christmas vacation, we joyfully received our class rings. Something different in assemblies took place with our “White Elephant Auction.” The class had a riotous time on the week-end trip to Lake Placid in May. To finish the year, we sponsored the Junior Prom, “Undersea Fantasy,” honoring the seniors. MANLIUS Restoring the Art of Totem-Poles . . . Not a Creature Was Stirring Tilt! TOGETHER Also in the sports spotlight were Senior basketeers: Chuck Humpleby, Carroll Blake, Dick Lowenberg, Paul Bucklin, Bill Grabau, Bob Crolick, and Dick Holt. Sparking the varsity cheerleading squad were seniors Rindy Lindsley, Ann McCormick, Barb Wescott, Kayo Pring, and Alice Eaton. Amid the rushing around, getting the yearbook out on time, taking scholarship exams and College Boards, visiting various colleges and employ- ment advisors, the seniors managed to have fun together, too. There were surprise birthday parties, after-game parties, before-dance parties, New Year’s Eve parties .... everything but political parties. This, the class of 54’s last year, anticipated for so-oo long, and discovered to be so-oo short, was superbly climaxed by the grandest dance of the year, the Senior Ball. A vote of thanks from the seniors goes to Miss Allan, Mrs. Munroe, Miss Conklin, and Mrs. Rowland for keeping them on the straight and narrow throughout the year. Looking forward to moving-up day and graduation with mixed feelings, the seniors leave the future of FMHS to you, the upperclassmen to come, with the hope that we’ve made your high school days a little richer.

A great deal of their time was spent in Ring Committee meetings, and from these activities, with the aid of ever-present Mr. Wheeler, they chose the beautiful new F-M ring. The culmination of the year will come in the shape of a new and different “Junior Prom.” Class Officers—Ted Eaton, treasurer; Helen Fleckenstein, secretary; Cynthia Greene, vice-president; Ed Buchwald, president. SOPHOMORES Known as the most party-giving class in the school, the sophs had an interesting year which proved their abilities lay in more important fields than social life. They put on the unforgettable “Sleighride,” and later in the year presented a dance to raise money for the gym ceiling, called, sensibly enough, “Mood Moderne.” Class Officers—Bob Snyder, president; Nancy Nimmo, vice-president; Peter Lane, secretary; Mary Ann Link, treasurer. FRESHMEN After months of begging and threats, the Frosh were duly initiated on January 15 by the eager seniors. They performed skits on stage, in costume, and were altogether good sports about the whole thing. Class Officers—Bert Hills, president; John Rogers, treasurer; Mary Dickey, vice-president; Sue Curry, secretary. Front Row, left to right: Fleckenstein, Lawler, Ferguson, Davies, Raumitz, Hood.

Industrial Arts Chemistry Session Homemaking Mechanical Drawing CLASSES IN ACTION Library Skills The final bell, 3:16 P. M. Typing JhadhimiA Once upon a time ago, some very wise people from the towns of Manlius and Fayetteville got to- gether and talked over the school problem. The whole thing added up to too many students and not enough Toom. Now, because these people were very wise and foresighted, they knew that just because they had decided what the problem was, the problem was not going to solve itself. A build- ing of brick and steel cannot grow, but growing is a population’s favorite pastime. So they hit upon a solution. These wise people thought and thought, and then decided upon a secret weapon all ready tested by many commun- ities all over the country. The secret weapon was called “centralization.” o o y Now they had the weapon. But they needed someone to carry out this plan. Many people were willing. The Board of Education spoke up . . . the Student Councils spoke up . . . and a few— a very few students said they’d be willing to help carry the ball. And so the plan was put down carefully on paper, and the weapon was to take effect in Sep- tember, 1953. On September 14, 1953, the red brick building that is called Fayetteville-Manlius High School shook itself loose from the left-over glamour that was the Country Playhouse, straightened itself prouldy to show off its new windows, bulletin boards, desks, and paint, and prepared to meet the onslaught of eager students. The school didn’t have to wait long. For before 8:30, its doors were bursting open with the rush of kids, talking about their summers, and planning for the new school year. But the school, being rather clever after absorbing so much knowl- edge through its walls, perceived that something was just a little wrong. There were a lot of peo- ple who didn’t know a lot of other people, and even the teachers couldn’t tell where the math room was, or how to find a chem lab. But the school didn’t have time to worry much about the fact that there were so many people who didn’t know so many other people. It thought that it was too bad . . . they all seemed like such nice kids, but it was too busy twirling its shiny combination locks and displaying its new rooms. [44] However, the school needn’t have worried even such a little about the kids who were adorn- ing its halls and rooms. For students are very wise too, and they know that it’s a lot of fun to poke the person who sits in front during study hall to find out his name. And the students and teachers alike knew that an important part of a school is its traditions, so one by one, some traditions made their way into FMHS. They wrote an Alma Mater. They made the old Oak Tree a living symbol of FMHS. They adopted the Green Hornet as their mascot and nickname, and dubbed 314 “The Birthplace of the Hornet.” Anxious to show off their spirit and colors, they hit upon a tradition known as -Green- and-White Day, and with their bright colors, let the world know that “We’re from Fayetteville- Manlius, and we want to be heard. . . .” They named the yearbook “Oak Leaves,” and dedicated the first one to the Oak Tree. They called their lively, monthly paper, “Hornets’ Nest,” and announced the issue number by the number of little hornets depicted under the nameplate. All these traditions and many more were in- corporated into the high school. By the end of the first term, everyone knew the fight songs, the cheers, the colors . . . and each other. The juniors held long conclaves and came up with a beautiful new school ring. The freshmen crowded themselves into the gym and hit upon a novel “Hobo Month” to raise money. The sopho- mores chose a prince and princess for the first time, and the seniors listed everyone neatly, and pre- sented a handy Student Directory to all. And then there are the traditions that can’t be put down in words. People have tried, but the best thing they seem to come up with is the word, “spirit.” If it is the traditions which hold the school together, as the bark does the tree, then it is the spirit which makes the traditions. Spirit that yells at games . . . that picks up that candy- wrapper in the hall . . . that sports a green and white pom-pom . . . that keeps a respectful silence during an assembly . . . and that binds different people into a big group, and calls it Fayetteville- Manlius. And because all stories have an ending, and the best endings are happy ones, we say: “May they all live happily . . . ever after.” —AMcC [45] _ ALMA MATER Guarded by the old Oak Tree, Symbol of our goal; Steadfast as our pride in thee, Its strength will write our scroll. Chorus: F ayetteville-M anlius Truth shall be thy light. Pledge we now our loyalty, To colors Green and White! Raise we now our voice in song. To thee a tribute bring; Join the ever-growing throng— Let all who love thee sing! GOVERNMENT o STUDENT COUNCIL As their first project of the year, the Student Council wrote the new Constitution. Then came the election of officers, which was followed by a quick settling-down to the year’s business. With their advisors, Mrs. Buttel and Mr. Lewis, the council sponsored several dances, including the annual “Cabaret Dance,” helped publish a student handbook, formed a Welcome Committee, spon- sored a War Orphan and an AFS student, and sold candy and school supplies. President Bucklin car- ried out not only his own platform as a Student Council candidate, but incorporated many new ideas into the year’s program. Front Row, left to right: B. Snyder, S. Curry, F.

FOOTBALL APPRECIATION BANQUET As a climax to an exciting and colorful football season, a group of interested school fathers fostered a plan for a tremendous Football Appreciation Banquet. They set the date for November 24, 1953 at the Onondaga Golf and Country Club, and then the plans really began to roll. The cheerleaders rushed around in order to have their new uniforms ready for the affair, and made plans for some unusual decorations. The Country Club had several years before obligingly painted its dining room in green and white. The band brushed their uniforms, polished their instruments, and practiced diligently for their part of the program. And the stalwart football players, for whom the banquet was given, loosened their belts, antic- ipating a hearty meal. With Mr. Evans Estabrook as toastmaster and Andy Kerr as the guest speaker, the banquet proved highly successful. A highlight of the evening was the award of certificates to the entire football team. - I Bill Grabau Bernie DaPolito Carroll Blake Front Row, left to right: G. Havill, Manager; B. DaPolito, P.

With top scorers Ray, Humpleby, and Blake supplying the points, Bucklin, Lowenberg, Holt, and Crolick setting up plays, and backboard duty supplied by Lynch, Buchwald, Grabau, and DaPolito, the team never let its enthusiastic fans down.

When try-outs for basketball were announced during the year, the FMHS gym was at once flooded with about seventy-five eager hopefuls. Not want- ing to turn down such a large number, two more teams of basketball were formed. These “B” squads played many games outside of the Central Division, and because of their extensive travels, they became known as the “Roving Hornets.” The Varsity had an 8-10 record, while the Jayvees wound up with 13-1.

But under the new leadership of Coach Wheeler, the Varsity team is hopeful of winning more games than ever, as many of last year’s top players are out again this year.

The new emblem for the Block F-M was designed by the art classes and voted upon by the student body. GIRLS’ BLOCK F-M Made in the reverse colors of the boys’ block letter, the girls’ Block F-M is a symbol to be proud of, for it proves that the wearer has completed 1000 points in all different girls’ sports.
