We have both pleasant and not-so- pleasant memories when we think over those twelve eventful years of close companionship. We direct our reflections in this history to you since you have observed us grow and seen, per- haps expected, more than any other one person, all the phases of our scholastic life. Four short years ago we made an eventful progression, right into high school, into Miss Connell's and Mr. Matalavage's rooms. We were a bit bewildered by the responsi- bility of choosing one or two courses on our own, though we had been prepared for this by Mr. Soper, the guidance teacher, the pre- vious spring. VVe were also rather worried about that problem of all freshmen, initiation, when we noticed the bloodthirsty gleams in the eyes of the Seniors. However, we not only sur- vived but actually enjoyed the week of atten- tion, and we learned a great deal about school traditions, songs, and even about the number CContinur: The 1952 Log of strokes of a toothbrush it takes to wash a corridor! From that first year all the members of our class participated actively in school ac- tivities, such as dramatics, athletics, chorus. band, various other clubs and social events, in- cluding dances, Carnivals, and concerts. As sophomores struggling over world his- tory, English H, geometry, and other subjects which seemed at the time almost too difficult, we were rushing in the mornings to Mr. Kent's and Miss Byrnes' homerooms. Then we were beginning to really feel adult. We labored long hours over our homework, and as long over telephone conversations involving our social lives. We were a very sociable group, and if marks were given for dancing, conversation, and the sazfoir faire of adolescent society circles, some of our class would have had positions on the high honor list consistently. During our junior year our battle cry was, When we're seniors l We thought in our serious moments of the world that would soon absorb our talents and our skills, if we honestly could say we had them to offer. But in those moments when we still just were kids we thought of the fun of being young, healthy, and d on page 223 11 12 PROPHEfCY Will you wonder, Mr. Shaver, whether or not the senior class of '52 is safe now in the wide, wide world? Well, john Clark has been working on a time machine, when he wasn't building hot rods, and should have presented it to you-Yes, there it is, that little but powerful machine in the corner. Turn those buttons, study the screen and you can see the future. Francis Barringer, having served ten years in the Navy, now owns a fishing Heet at Long Island. Kenneth Burger is now running a successful photography studio on the Island of Bali-Hai. Mary Cowan leads a busy but exciting life as an airline stewardess. She meets so many interesting people! Gerald DeSilva manages a women's professional basketball team with the same tactful manner he displayed long ago. Henry Dougherty returned recently from the Navy to settle down on his new Texas ranch with his wife and his Longhorns. Lorraine Finch, private nurse, charms her patients into good health, then tours the United States in a Cadillac for her vacations. Elizabeth Garrison has gained fame as a brain surgeon at the Smith Medical Center. John Goupil is admiral in command of the largest fleet of fishing boats off France's shores. Donald Graham, who has held seventy different jobs in ten years, now seems to have decided to remain with General Electric-as a live wire, of course. Pauline Hill captains the women's branch of the New York City police force. Robert Hubbell, New York State's rising young politician, married a Pratts- ville girl and runs his home by a Family Council. Robert Kavanaugh, world-traveler, is spending the winter in Sweden where he works on a new book of cartoons. Carol Leming is now running the Margaretville Telephone Company, her home, five children and the village clubwomen. Doris Lukow, Saks Fifth Avenue buyer, is now in Sweden with her husband getting information on continental fashions. Charles McCann daily risks his life as an employee of General Motors, testing new model jet-autos. Janet Peck is happily married and was just recently blessed with her seventh son! Walter Ramp, talented baritone player, is touring the nation with Spike Jones, still making unusual sound effects. Nora Roberts croons over the major network and can really save money now. Evelyn Shultis, though world famous for her gossipy women's column in the New York Reflections, still enjoys visiting the Catskills for lazy vacations. Ray Sprague, and wife Lois, are successfully running a garage and restaurant on the new state highway. Thelma Taylor just received the office of national president of the F. H. A., and Edward Vermilyea is assistant director of the F. F. A. They really made use of their work with Miss Ritter and Mr. Holdridge. Ann Wilbur superintends the Thompson School of Dental Hygiene, assisting her husband, the school director. Richard Williams has been appointed to the position in the F. B. I. left vacant by the mysterious death of J. Edgar Hoover. The 1952 Lag CLASS WILL To be opened and studied whenever the heirs we leave are in need of inspiration. We, the class of 1952, leave in this, our last will and testament, the following gifts, in hopes that the underclassmen, their lives enriched by them, will become better citizens of M. C. S. I, janet Peck, leave my gift of gab, especially in the homemaking room, to Mary Mackey. ' I, Doris Lukow, bequeath to Diane Pereira the desire for success in school and in extra-curricular activities. I, Elizabeth Garrison, leave my record of allmost being in three places at once- library, office and homeroom, to Shirley Barber. I, Robert Kavanaugh, an older and a wiser man, leave my tested ability to dent only the car, not the passengers, to Miss Byrnes. I, john Goupil, leave my quiet and subdued manner to Richard Elliott. I, Ann Wilbur, leave Barbara Scott my pep and steam. I, Mary Cowan, leave my skill in dancing, especially the Lindy, to Martin Ford. I, Gerald DeSilva, leave my masculine version of the Mona Lisa smile to Edward Dietrich. I, Robert Hubbell, will my ability to get along with most people and to keep my thoughts to myself to Gordon DeSilva. I, Evelyn Shultis, bequeath to Miss Ritter, who may give it to a needy student, my practical cooking skill. I, Donald Graham, will my ability to sleep with my eyes open to Robert Thompson. I, John Clark, exhausted by my labors of the past years, simply leave. I, Nora Roberts, leave to Shirley Kelly my confidence behind the steering wheel. I, Thelma Taylor, gladly leave to Yvonne Gallant the odd jobs in the home economics rooms. I, Edwin Vermilyea, will my modest manner and farming knowledge to Franklin Kittle. I, Francis Barringer, bequeath my wisecracks C some are even funnyj to Gerald Kelly. I, Pauline Hill, leave to Mrs. Matalavage my ability to look stern without even trying in study hall. I, Richard Williams, will my ability to relax to Mr. Gilmour. I, Ray Sprague, leave my powers of concentration to Robert Rosa. I, Carol Leming, leave my hard-earned skill as treasurer and business manager to Anna Wranovics. I, Lorraine Finch, will to Sandra Davis my efficient methods which enable me to get things done in a hurry. I, Charles McCann, will my way of getting around to Harper Fairbairn. I, Walter Ramp, leave my ability to keep a jalopy from finally falling apart to Ray Barkman. I, Henry Dougherty, bequeath my winning charm to John Fairbairn. I, Kenneth Burger, will to Mr. Holdridge my skill in raising chickens. I, Miss Connell, will my way with seating charts to future senior advisors and the grand old seniors of '52 to the unsuspecting world. We, the class of 1952, leave to the juniors the puzzling problems of the senior year, and to Mr. Shaver we leave our newest invention, a medicine to prevent the headaches future seniors might bring you. Signed and sealed this first day of February, 1952. Witness: ROBERT I-IUBBELL Witness: Doms LUKOW A Class of 1952. The 1952 Log First row, left to right-B. Heyson, R. Hull, G. Adee, J. Hill, J.

JUNIOR 'CLASCS When this Log Went into production in mid- winter and we began to think over the achieve- ments of our class in the past three years to choose those noteworthy enough to record in the yearbook, it seemed that time had really flown by. Perhaps the motto of all students should be It's later than you think. Soon, incredibly, we juniors will have held up the wands at graduation and have seen our friends and sometime rivals, the seniors of '52, pass under that arch, leaving us the fun and work of being the grand old seniors. In our freshman year we spent many happy hours filled with headaches and laughs over our classes and homework, our initiation and social activities. As Sophomores we worked with Miss Byrnes and Mr. Callen on a Shipwreck Dance which was quite a success. So far in our junior year, under the leadership of Mr. Gilmour and Miss Radenberg, we have spon- sored a dance to finish off the football season, from which the proceeds were high and which we all enjoyed. We have made no definite plans as yet for our prom which is scheduled for June, 14 but look forward to it as the biggest event of our eleventh year. This year made a change in our organization, since we had a council in charge of the class instead of the usual presi- dent, treasurer, and secretary offices. Council members were Martin Ford, .lean Haynes, john Hill, Shirley Kelly and Linden Sanford. There are many things that we juniors have on our minds now with our last year in school coming up. We are looking forward to picking our senior rings, to our Washington trip, and last but far from least, to graduation. As a junior group, Prof, we are beginning to realize how much your guidance has increased the pleasantness of our days in school. We have begun to think about the work we will do after graduation, and can see the value in the courses we hope we have chosen wisely. Probably next year we will again complain, put off school work sometimes and generally act as typical students, but we will have serious moments when we recognize that the experiences we share here will always remain among our best memories, The 1952 Log First row, left lu right-B.

SOPHOMORE CLASS XVe entered school this year as proud sopho- mores. lt really seemed good to sit back and enjoy freshman initiation, with the wonderful feeling of being just onlookers, recalling the day when we sat in assembly wondering what we would be called upon to do. As sophomores we had moved from our freshman homerooms with Miss Connell and Mr. Matalavage into 204 with Miss Byrnes and into the art room with Mr. Holliday. We soon elected our class officers who were: presi- dent, Charlotte Mcfanng vice president, Rus- sell Graham 3 treasurer, Patricia DeSilvag secre- tary, Sherry Dobo. Our homeroom represen- tative was Robert Thompson, and our alternate, Yvonne Gallant. VVe discovered that this was going to be a busy year, as most of us were taking tive subjects and devoting third periods The 1952 Log to various clubs. Still we managed for the most part to do quite well and always had a good representation on the honor rolls. Our two homeroom groups competed with one another for the title of best homeroom in high school- though we never dared challenge any other class group to enter the race, assuming from Septem- ber that they would concede to us. Seriously, we have had fun this yearkputting on our first two dances, one for Halloween, and a second in the spring. As our class funds increased, we thought more often of the fact that in a short time we would be thinking back upon this year as the far-away past. VVe are anxious for new adventures, and look forward to trying our wings after graduation, but still rather regret seeing this year end. 15 Ifirsf rme, left to riglzf-E. Close, I. Hadden, J.

FRESHMAN CLASS Starting the freshman year of high school is as important a heginning to students as his hrst words are to a child. Freshmen assume new respmnnsihilities-such as choosing one or two suhjects which may determine their future and taking care of their own problems with less individual guidance from teachers. This hrings realization of the choices that they will have to make in the future without advice or help from anyone. Also the freshmen make new friend- ships as they work more closely with upperclass- men. This year we were encouraged to inde- pendence and self-confidence hy Mr. and Mrs. Matalavage, who tried to let us run our own homeroom and class activities while they acted as interested spectators on the side-lines. Freshman initiation, which seemed in Septem- her a week to be dreaded, was in reality a trial to discover the good and bad points of a fresh- 16 man's nature. To do the tasks ordered then with sportsmanship and a sense of humor was the duty of each freshman. The judges were the seniors who had four years of knowledge and experience hehind them and who should know what traits a good high school student should have. VVe helieve that this year's freshman class is one of the biggest in the school's history, and certainly, the higgest class in high school now. VVe see perhaps in this large group future nurses, doctors, lawyers, mechanics and good citizens who will make up the United States of tomorrow. As the year closes and we look hack on it, we regret seeing it end. But to balance that, our intuition tells us that we have three happy years ahead of us in which we will learn three times what we have learned so far.

SENIOR CLASS HISTORY qcomimiefi from page 11 i anxious for adventure. VVe watched our class funds slowly grow, sponsoring dances, the climax being our prom. The theme was An Evening in Paris. Our decorations exceeded even our dreams. Of course, one of our ad- visors that year was the art teacher, Miss Tur- ner, and the other Mr. blalbert, senior high English instructor. Finally came that eventful day in September of 1951 when we entered the front portals as seniors. Seniors! The very word represented all we had worked for, and looked forward to over the years. We have felt sometimes being a senior stood for even more than we at first realized, that it symbolized the year of turning from adolescence to maturity. VVe thought that we would no longer make the errors of the past, mistakes we had once considered of no conse- quence. We would now assume greater re- sponsibility, we could appreciate the efforts our parents and teachers had made to shape us into good citizens. Sometimes these lofty thoughts we had were true. We did work better together and as individuals. VVe were aware of our role as the oldest students in the school. We saw our parents work, too, so that we could raise the money for that long-awaited senior trip, and began to realize how much they had done for us for the past years. How many times our 22 mothers had to whip up salads or cakes for school affairs at the last moment because we forgot to tell them before : how often our fathers waited around for us to get out of club meetings, rehearsals, or practices to drive us home. Still, Prof, like all seniors, like all people in the stages of growing up, we had our moments of rebellion against the burden of being mature. Miss Con- nell, our senior advisor, undoubtedly thought occasionally that we were the most talkative group of students she had ever heard. She cer- tainly gave us all the help and advice we so badly needed in running the activities we spon- sored this year. When we read this history over in the pub- lished Log, this year of senior life will be over. The kindergartener on the frontispiece sym- bolizes in a sense our feeling about the future. Will we Ht better into the work we will go into from school than he fits into that senior cap and gown? That will be our real final exam-the test of whether or not we have actually acquired for ourselves the ideals, the skills, all the train- ing that our families, you, and our teachers have tried to give us. We look forward to being on our own and we will surely try to be a credit to these people who hope for the best for us. Sincerely, CLASS or 1952 The 1952 Log MISS FRANCES A. MURPHY, Retiring Teacher MISS FRANCES A. MURPHY Over thirty years ago, longer than seems pos- sible to anyone who knows her, Miss Murphy, newly graduated from Oneonta Normal School, held her first classes in Hamden rural school. An alumna of rural schools herself, at first she found it difficult to remember that she was a Teacher and couldn't join in all the games. She soon bought a car to get her up to her family's farm in Shavertown, and with her pile of papers to correct and this new possession be- gan to feel like a real career woman. At that time, going to school was more pleasure than work since for one reason it was about the only way in winter children could be with each other, and there were fewer diversions. The small schoolhouse was a center of rural lifeg the teacher lived with a family whose children she taught and she knew all of her students well. VVhat a change those thirty-odd years have brought-a change which Miss Murphy has watched as a very interested spectator. Through those years also Miss Murphy has seen her students grow up and sometimes to leave this mountain area in which she was born Thi' 1952 Log and worked. They surely remember her, though, and the lessons she taught them which helped them to later choose their own way of life. They remember her because that first re- quirement of good teaching-a patient and last- ing love of children she abundantly fulfilled. Of course, there had to be days when her job seemed discouraging, the pupils still no farther ahead than they were in September but Miss Murphyis sense of humor and her common sense got her through those times. There are more good memories than bad-the success of a pupil who had almost given up-the amusing, pleasant. appreciative words and deeds of children who have not learned to conceal their feelings. After her thirteenth year at Mar- garetville Central, Miss Murphy is looking for- ward to the peace and quiet of retirement, but we know that where Miss Frances A. Murphy is, some excitement must be brewing and that she will be busy doing things she has never had time to do, receiving visits from all of her friends who will not let her ever be bored. 23 Office Personnel Dorris Gavette, Margaret Thompson.

STUDENT ASSOCIATION The Margaretville Central Schools student association first became active in l93l, as an outgrowth of the Athletic Association. From that time on. it has operated efliciently as a governing council of the student body. The principal responsibilities of this group are two: first, to be a channel for expression of student opinions, problems and desires: secondly. to regulate a calendar of class-sponsored functions as well as sponsor for their own organization the athletic activities and control funds earned by these events. Mr. Miller, the guidance teacher, has acted as faculty advisor of student association for the past three years. The presiding officer this year 26 was Robert Hubbell g the vice-president, Gerald Kellyg secretary, Elizabeth Cowang treasurer. Linden Sanford and business manager, Carol Leniing. Many issues were brought up before these people together with homeroom repre- sentatives and alternates. Among the most important accomplishments of this group were the work on a handbook which will welcome freshmen, introducing them to the clubs and activities of senior high and the improvement of the fair Take-your-turn idea in the lunch lines. Wfe feel that this student organization deserves congratulations for the success of its work this year. T110 1952 Log First row, left to right-Miss Smith, E. Fairbairn, S. Ackerley, L. Logwin, D.

The chorus members have elected the following offi- cers to share responsibilities and leadership: president, Betty Cowan 5 secretary, Mary Cowan, and librarians, Doris Lukow and Nora Roberts. During November, we were represented by Sandy Davis, Betty Cowan, Barbara Scott, Betty Sanford, Walter Ramp, Lindy Sanford, Francis Hosier, and Louis Aprea at the annual mass county choir held in Delhi. Walter Ramp and Lindy Sanford were also chosen to attend the All-State Choir held at Hancock on Decem- ber 8th, A girls' ensemble and a sextette has also been organized. The ensemble consists of 30 seventeen members. Those who participate in the sextette are: sopranos, Sandy Davis and Betty Cowan, second sopranos, Mary Cowan and Barbara Scottg alto, Betty Sanford and Carol Leming. Both the mixed chorus and girls' ensemble participated in the Christmas play. We of the chorus sang a background for the presentation, an experiment which proved very effective. Both choruses and the sextette took part in the annual spring concert held here in school on May 16th. Many of the songs presented that night were later included for competition and music festival. As usual the chorus successfully finished its year by singing many selections for the annual baccalaureate and graduation exercises. The 1952 Log v MONITORS M. Ford, R. Sperliug, Mr. Gilmour, C.

In September we began preparation of marches and music to be used at pep meetings, football games and high school assemblies. Shortly thereafter we worked on music in preparation for our appear- ance at the fall play. At Christmas time we tried accompanying a chorus made up of in- terested students, a larger group than the regu- lar chorus. This was our first attempt at such a program and was quite successful. In the fall the band, composed of thirty-eight members, elected Linden Sanford as president of the organization, jerry Kelly as vice- The 1952 Log president, Betty Cowan as secretary and Ann Wilbtir as treasurer. At the beginning of the second semester we began work on the music to be played at our own spring concert and for the New York State Music Festival. We feel that now we are play- ing a more varied and interesting type of music than has been used in previous years. Among numbers in preparation is an excellent arrange- ment of Deep Purple, several fine overtures and many marches. This year our group hopes to make an excellent showing in the spring music festival. Our director, Mr. Johns, and all the members of the band feel confident that this can be accomplished. 31 DANCE CLUB First row, left tn right-R. Sprague, W. Ramp, R. Vxlilliams, I. Peck, M. Cowan, D.

The task of leadership is never an easy oneg you have to know your group well, to use their strength and correct, when possible, their weakness. Hardest of all, you must give them the will to do their best, to work their hardest with and for you. This year we started a new year in sports for Margaretville with a new spark, Coach Edgerton. As all his team members know, his motto seems to be He who tries hard will succeed. He feels also that no excuse for failure can ever be good enough, since Ueven the best of teams can be beaten by Margaretville boys when they make their greatest effort. This determi- nation to do the best is the background reason for M. C. S.'s good sports record this year. With football we had our first successful season. Coach and the team had the happy feeling of well-earned victories in all but one game. Nothing-mud, cold autumn weather, not even snow-stopped the boys from prac- ticing. The worse the field, the more fun they seemed to have. This daily practice plus skill and ambition were the keys to success in foot- ball. Maybe our coach is right in saying that even the best of teams can be beaten. In one of the best basketball games this year we defeated The 1952 Log Walton. Because Walton was head of the league, had lost only one game, and had already defeated us with a margin of eleven points, almost everyone dreaded another loss. How- ever, the boys were really doing their best and the final score was our 44 to their 34. Up to the time of this writing the junior varsity has done a terrific job. They took their first defeat from Walton, losing by two points. With this record, the good team work, and fine individual play- ing they have shown, we certainly expect an even stronger varsity in the future. When the Log material is written, baseball games are still ahead of us. That season may be hard because the coach will have to get acquainted with all the boys and the way they play this game as if he had never known them before. We expect much of the veteran squad out for baseball and predict another good season. The cheerleaders also had a new coach, Miss Stout, who encouraged and advised them in their daily practice stints and at all the games. They had new uniforms, skirts which they made themselves and new sweaters and em- blems purchased by the Student Association. Both teams made less use of their megaphones so that they could move more quickly, and cheer more in a game. We concentrated on the old good cheers, and it was a year of good cheer at Margaretville. 41 BASKETBALL 42 5 ew hd as 7:2 CHEERLEADERS lfirsl ruzv, lrff tu riglztf-K. Hull, A. W'ilbur. D. Lukuw.
