CLASS HISTORY The class of 55 has the distinction of being the second to graduate from F-M. Some of the traditions which were new last year have become tried and true parts of our everyday school life. This section is the story of the last two years of the Class of 55 . After meeting their new classmates, the class settled down to business (some of it monkey IgOsi- ness!) and elected junior executives: Ed Buchwald, president; Cynnie Greene, vice-president; Helen Fleckenstein, secretary; Ted Eaton, treasurer. Football, of course, started off the sporting year. Dave Park, Jerry Ager, Gus Petcos, Jerry Aylesworth, and Tom Knapp were some of the 55ers who participated on Varsity. The team had a good season and finished in second place. Basketball was the big sport that year, however. Three boys made the Varsity: Dan Lynch, Bill Ray, and Ed Buchwald. The team won the County Championship and went a long way in the sec- tionals. The J. V. team also won the County Championship. Then there were traditions for the juniors to help start. After careful planning and deciding, the Ring Committee submitted a handsome ring that was to be the symbol of Fayetteville-Manlius. The class had its share of celebrities. Helen Fleckenstein went to Girls' State, while Dave Park and Ed Buchwald went to Boys' State. Student Council elections came along, and everyone got on the band wagon and supported his candidate. Cynnie Greene came out on top, closely followed by the other candidates. Climaxing the year was a Junior Prom to beat all Junior Proms! As seniors the class came back to F-M ready and almost willing to go to work after a busy and varied summer. They settled right down and elected as class officers Dave Park, president; full as ours Bussie McBride, vice-president; Nancy Goodfellow, secretary; Barb Hood, treasurer. The class held the annual initiation of those creatures called freshmen. The initiation, planned to be more constructive and less destructive, came off without mishap and was somewhat better than the faculty and everyone else expected. The 1955 sports year will long be remembered at F-M for its County Champion football team and the great C.B.A. game. The lineup was studded with too many seniors to name here. However, some of those who received All County and All State recognition were: Dave Park, Gus Petcos, Jerry Ager, Ed Buchwald. At this writing, the basketball team looks as though it is off to an- other successful season. Those seniors on the first team are Ed Buchwald, Bill Ray, Dan Lynch, and Tom Muench. The seniors found that some of their classmates were in the limelight. Inger Gjervan, the tall, pretty exchange student from Norway, with Dave Lane and Ted Eaton, exchange students during the sum- mer, traveled to several schools to give assemblies. Dave Lane was elected president of the Central New York Student Council, and Barb McIntosh was elected secretary. Time rushed by, leaving behind parties, dances, games, and an occasional exam or two. Many seniors had started thinking of the future as they visited colleges or employment offices. Some were definitely thinking in terms of the present as they labored over Miss Conklin's term paper. Then— it was May and time for the traditional Senior Ball, and graduation was upon us. The class of 55 leaves its Alma Mater, with feelings of both gladness and sadness. They can only say to those classes coming up behind them-— May your high school years be as happy and as have been.

FOOTBALL Faye+teville-Manlius started the 1954 sports season with a championship football team. Coached by Mr. Daunhauer, Mr. Bilek, and Mr. Roberts, the team trounced all the county teams they played and bowed only to C.B.A. in a hard fought game for the city-county title. The student body was always present to cheer their team on, as the team racked up the following scores: F-M 13 E.

The F-M Hornets with 20 yards to go for a touchdown against Solvay. FOOTBALL The 1954 football team was one that the school can always be proud of. Not only did they have athletic prowess, but the team also had a spirit of working together that would have brought any team through on top. Many of the team members received All County recognition. Paul Yeakel, Dave Park, Ed Buchwald, Jerry Ager, Dave Coon, Tony Herloski, and Bill Petcos all made the first team. Second string honors went to Bill Fenn, while John Roberts, Jerry Aylesworth, and Tom Knapp received honorable mention. At the end of this very successful season, the Board of Education held a football banquet in honor of the team. The banquet was in the form of a dinner dance and one of the highlights of the eve- ning was a colored film of the F.M.-C.B.A. game. Coach Daunhauer spoke to the boys, their parents, and dates, and each member of the team received a trophy. Tom Knapp nicely blocks the Solvay player (in mid-air) while Bill Petcos runs with the ball toward the F-M goal. The F-M cheerleaders and Fayetteville-Manlius game cheering section at the Solvay, played at the Manlius Military School. Solvay player captures the ball and runs toward their goal.

Coached by Mr. Hollenbeck, the team was known for its excellent defensive ball playing and high scoring record.

LEADERS CLUB For those who are athletically minded, Leaders' Club is a wonderful chance to gain proficiency at both athletics and leader- ship ability. Led by Mrs. Robinson and Mr. Matties, the tryouts for membership are held early in the second term. Those who are chosen go back to their gym classes to teach their classmates what they have learned. Meeting every Tuesday, these boys and girls practice on the apparatus and tumbling mats to perfect old tricks and learn some new ones. In the spring the club puts on a show in which the whole club participates, demonstrating everything they have learned, from calisthenics to the trampolene. Final rehearsal before the spring show.

Emphasis in these organizations is placed on the joy and pleasure to be found in group singing, rather than intellectual striving for a high goal of vocal music achievement.

Each year sectionals meet within the state, and this year a sectional met in Fayetteville-Manlius High School. Students were selected from sixteen schools to participate in the rehearsals, dance, and concert, which were held November 6th.

Granted more responsi- bility than many student councils, the council helps keep the school running smoothly. Advised by Mr. Lewis and Miss Buttel, and headed this year by Cynthia Greene, the council had many worthwhile projects. The school's adopted war orphan was the council's responsi- bility, and they earned money for this cause. They held a large scale bake sale, sold F-M pennants and dogs, and sponsored the Cabaret Dance. Also, for the student body, career days were held once a month and a Foreign Friendship Week was observed. This year, too, the Fayetteville- Manlius Student Council was host to the Central New York Association of Student Councils.
