During the past ten years we have seen many changes and improvements. The Pacemaker yearbook of 1940 had a total of about sixtyypdfges, nearly half of which were advertisements. Now the yearbook has approximately TOO pages. There are a great many more feature articles. Every activity of the school is mentioned, and each year they tend to increase. We have included more pictures in our yearbook than ever before. Scenes ot the cafeteria, library, homemaking, shop, and many more are visible tor all to see. Each year the Senior Class tries to improve and enlarge the yearbook and the present edition is evidence of that progress. lt is twice as large as it was ten years ago, and, all in all, shows a better job of representing Mayville Central School. We hope that it will continue to grow.

THE PACEMAKER 1950 Message From the Principal He who would accomplish things must toughen his hide to criticism. Because some people laugh at us, while others doubt our sincerity, we cannot afford to stop trying. A great deal of criticism is prompted not by a desire to help, but by envy, dislike or some other unworthy motives. The criticism that is obviously well intended, and founded on intelligent under'- standing of our purposes, should be welcomed. Above all, we should never be afraid to attempt things because of the criticism we know will be leveled at us. It is better to fail than to quail. PROUD OF MCS! Greetings to Mr. Phillips who has been such an important person around MCS for the past Twenty-six years. We wish to pay him our respects and to honor him for such. long and efficient service. Clarence W. Phillips was born at Beech Hill, N. Y. 62 years ago. At the age of seven he began to work at making cheese in a milk plant. This position lasted 15 years. In 1924 he first obtained the position as janitor for Mayville High School. In Aug- ust, Mr, Phillips will celebrate his 26th year as janitor. For fourteen years he was attendance officer and is proud of the fact he never made an arrest and always had the child back in school. He talked boys that quit school into taking their problems to the principal, thus leading many on to a higher education. Among his responsibilities are: the caring for students after the teachers leave, general cleaning, carpentry, lectrical Work, general repair, and caring for fires and water pressure. In the summer time he takes care of the shrubbery and lawns. During the winter he estimates that the school uses about three hundred tons of coal a year, averaging three or four tons on a cold day. Under the direction of Mr. Phillips are: Mr. Robert Freay, Mr. Paul Freay and Miss Blanche Goodrich. Asked what he thought about Mayville Central as a whole, Mr, Phillips stated, t'The best in the U. S., and no trouble at all. , 1950 THE PACEMAKER MCS HIGH SCHOOL FACULTY FIRST ROW-fleft to rightl: Mrs. Geraldine Steward, home economics, Mrs. Dorothy Johnson, English and languages, Mrs. Jean Carlson, librarian, Mr. Theodore Petersen, principal, Mr. Kenneth Vance, vice-principal and science, Miss Jewell Brown, art, Mrs. Marie Seaton, commercial, Miss Grace Paolillo, English.

John and Mary were registered in the morning class. At this time the uptown children went in the morning and the lake children came in the afternoon. Miss Diamond, who later became Mrs. Myers, was their first teacher. The first grade was taught by Miss Cowles, Plans for remodeling the High School were being made, which was a part of the program for centralization. During the second grade, work on the new building continued and those students attended school at the lake for the first semester. In January, 1940, John and Mary were allowed to enter the new classroom. The children from the lake joining, then under Miss Cowles as teacher. In the third grade John and Mary were saddened very much by the death of Martha Ann VanValkenburg. The Dewittville children joined in fourth grade and the grade was split into two rooms. Miss Case taught one room, Mrs. Bowman the other. The fifth and sixth grades went along smoothly. By the eighth grade, John and lVIary realized that there was much to be done. For in order to get into high school, regents examinations had to be passed. In Mr. Tripp's room, John and Mary enjoyed many different and interesting ex- periences and activities, Among these was the creation of an original newspaper. On graduation night in June, 1946, all received preliminary certificates and were promoted to high school. At that time John and Mary became officially members of High School as the Class of 1950. Graduation time seemed so far away. In September, 1946, John and Mary returned to school. On an early fall morn- ing they were about to enter upon the threshold of their high school career. This was their first day in high school and they were much excited. After the first week of school Mr. Sprague was chosen as our class advisor. At the same time the officers were chosen as follows: President, Dave Hanseng vice- president, Ted Chapmang secretary and treasurer. Vesta Rater. Dave Hansen and Vesta Rater also were selected as representatives to the Student Council. During that year John and Mary helped to arrange for an assembly program sponsored by the Freshman Class. Mr. Tuttle, a whistler, presented a fine program for the student body. This year seemed to go fast and before long it was the last week in June and time for the class picnic. This was held at Point Gratiot. Mr. and Mrs. Sprague and Mr. and Mrs. Limbaugh acted as chaperones. Another school year was over and all looked forward to a fine summer vacation. John and Mary returned to school for their Sophomore year. They found that some of the class had left, among them were: Donald Casselman, Jerold Hull, Jarice Price, Donetta Gagliano, Joyce Anderson and John Dulmus. Mrs. Johnson was the class advisor and the following officers were elected: President, David Hansen, vice president, Steve Elliott, secretary-treasurer, Patsy Ross. Virginia Moss and Keith Ross were elected to the Student Council. In December, just prior to vacation a party was held in our home room. Gifts were exchanged and cake and chocolate milk served. June found John and Mary planning for the class picnic. The spot selected was Findley Lake. Mr. and Mrs. Johnson acted as chaperones. Many will remember the speedboat rides and the fun we had there. This year Floyd Ossman and Sherman Smith left us. Bob Berthold left to spend the winter in Florida and returned to us in the spring. At mid-year Geraldine Dulmus was promoted to the Junior Class. Joyce Anderson, Jerold Hull and Larry Carlson returned to Mayville Central and joined the class again. September, 1948, found John and Mary enrolled as Juniors. Everyone looked for- ward to a big year. Mrs. Rider was assigned as Junior advisor. The officers for the year were: Presi- dent, Charles Quickg vice president, Louise Webber: secretary, Vesta Rater: treasurer, Richard Chamberlaing student council representatives, David Hansen and Zada Petersen. . The first big event was when the class rings were ordered. To John and Mary THE PACEMAKER 1950. this was very exciting, for a senior ring meant so much. Class rings brought back memories of the happy days at MCS. In November the annual .Shmoo dance was held. This was a great success and everyone wasproud of the unique decorations. Many thanks to Miss Brown and Mrs. Rider for giving their time and patience. Mr. Hickok's orchestra provided suitable music. The grand march was led by Dick Chamberlain and Marlene Faulkner who had been chosen king and queen. On December 22 a Christmas party was held. Gifts were exchanged by drawing from the grab bag. Dave Hansen invited the class to his house for an evening of entertainment and refreshments. Everyone had lots of fun, especially the snowball fight. Time went fast and before very soon John and Mary were busy practicing for the Junior play. The play entitled 'flntroducin' Susan was presented under the direction of Mrs. Rider. In token of appreciation in making the play a success, a lovely box of roses was presented to her. After the play, the Juniors had a party at Pat Ross's. A big time was had by all. The evening of June 9 was the Junior Prom night. How proud the class was of the fine decorations. Frankie Mutch's orchestra presented some very good music for dancing. Rojean Hamning and Alvin Nelson were chosen King and Queen. Everyone had a good time and will always remember the event as one of the out- standing of the Junior year. At last-September, 1949! Senior year had come and as for John and Mary it was a feeling of joy and at the same time a feeling of regret. Officers elected for the Senior class were: President, Charles Quickg Vice- President, David Hanseng Secretary, Joyce Andersong Treasurer, Vesta Rater, Student Council, Zada Petersen and Keith Ross. Gladys Legros was appointed chairman of the Senior Picture Committee, and Globe Studio of Jamestown was selected as the place. The first project of the year was the big magazine campaign. Dave Hansen and Vesta Rater were elected as general chairmen. Charlotte Stage and Patsy Ross were captains of each team. A net profit of S462 was raised and surpassed any amount of previous years. October was the month for Hallowe'en and the Seniors made plans for the annual Hallowe'en party. Dave Hansen was made general chairman for our program. Mrs. Whitney's class won the first prize of 35.00. Members of the class were happy to find that they had realized a profit of S115 from the event. After many long practices, our Senior play was presented on November 18 and 19. The play was entitled Boys About Bobbetten with Zada Petersen in the leading role. The first night was one to be long remembered. At the end of the act the stage curtain was torn, amid the gasps of the audience and louder gasps from the cast. However, it was soon repaired and the play went on. After the play, some of the Seniors went down to Dave Hansen's for a party. Mrs. Meade turned the house over to the girls who prepared the lunch. Everyone had a grand time and all were thrilled over the success of the play. The sale of Christmas cards and wrappings was another project by which money was earned for the Washington trip. During the year pencils, license tabs and candy were sold at basketball games. Marlene Loomis had charge of the sale of pencils. Many trips were made throughout the school gathering the money. April 1, the Seniors held a bake sale in which everyone participated by bringing something for the sale. John and Mary were anxious for Easter vacation. Then they could start on the long-awaited Washington trip. For four days, forty-one members of the Class of 1950 enjoyed the wonderful sights of our capital city. The trip was one that each and every one will long remember and added one more chapter to the busy Senior year. Tonight marks the beginning of our graduation exercises. It doesn't seem pos- sible that we are nearly through with our days at high school. John and Mary could be any two members of the Class of '50, Our graduation is only a short time away. To many of us it will come too soon. The memories of our high school days will long remain and the many happy times of our Senior year will never be forgotten. 11,1 ' w. 31 . .Z . .1 l 5 4 2 I 1 .Al- sf 'f-. yi.. . 1950 THE PACEMAKER CLASS WILL - 1950 We, the Senior Class of 1950 of Mayville Central School, Academy Street, Village of Mayville, County of Chautauqua, State of New York, and Country of the United States of America, being mentally alert, of extraordinary intelligence, do hereby take this opportunity to publish this our last Will and Testament, before leaving the dear halls of M.

Signed: MARLENE LOOMIS JANET PICKARD .1 CLASS PROPH ECY Thursday morning, May 15, 1970, Ambassador Long received a special delivery with orders to return to the States immediately. This made me very happy as I have been a private nurse for Ambassador Long for many years and have not been to the States since 1952. After I settled myself for a long ride home I began looking around. The airline lrostess seemed vaguely familiar and when she came around to fasten me in my seat I realized she was Florence Chandler, my old school pal. She told me she was employed by the International Airlines, and had traveled to many countries during the year. The route traveled over the North Pole and as we needed fuel we stopped at an airport in Iceland. It was still quite cold here even though it was the middle of May, so I went over to the main building of the airport and bought a hot chocolate. I turned around from the counter and stood face to face with-can you imagine- Katherine Pabody, I was very much surprised and asked her what she was doing way up in Iceland. She told me she had been a Baptist missionary there for the past five years, and that she enjoyed her work very much. Back on the plane it did not take long to get to Washington, D. C., where I bade Ambassador Long goodbye. While there I decided to look up Gladys Legros. She had been working as medical secretary in the John Hopkins Hospital at Baltimore. Ilcalled at her hotel and, to my surprise, found Virginia Moss rooming with her. Virginia is now employed at John Hopkins also, as a trained nurse. Gladys was busy packing for her vacation. We went home to Mayville together and began looking up old school friends. We received a dinner invitation from Mrs. Richard Dalrymple, the former Shirley Stacey. Upon arriving we found Mr. and Mrs. Ivan Tucker. Mrs. Tucker, the for- mer Janet Pickard, told us her sister Janice is in charge of a day nursery in Mayville. Maxine Higgs came after dinner. She is now kindergarten teacher at Mayville. She said she had gone to the Music Festival at Fredonia last week-end. There she saw Helen Howe, who is now Mrs. Bruce Ames. Helen is now chorus director of Silver Creek High School, which received top honors with a lv rating. One of the adjudicators at Fredonia was Myron Leet, graduate of Fredonia Normal in 1954, and later Myron had earned his Doctor's degree in music at New York University. It seemed a small world, after all. We went uptown to get an appointment with a beautician and found Elaine Damon's Beauty Salon rated as tops. fs 'E ,s, a 1950 THE PACEMAKER That afternoon we went to a baseball game between Mayville and Sherman, and Sound that Keith Gooey Ross was coach of the Mayville team. Gooey was the former basketball star of MCS. At the ball game we saw Corky Hull who told us he was working for B. 8z E, in Dunkirk as a master electrician. The next day we stopped to see Mrs. Edward Robbins, who used to be Marlene Loomis. There we found Louise Webber, who was acting as interior decorator for Marlene's home. Just then Bud came home and told Marlene he had invited Art Geertson for dinner. Art was employed as foreman at Art Metal in Jamestown where Bud had just recently been promoted to assistant manager. Suddenly the doorbell rang and in walked, of all people, Ray Biekert in a Navy uniform. From the insignia on his sleeve we saw he was a commander. Ray told us that Larry Carlson was chief petty officer on the good ship Morgenthau. Bud read us a letter he had received from Richard Mount, who was in the Marine Corps. Dick was stationed in the Mariannas Islands. We bade our friends a fond farewell and were on our way again. We then decided to look up Charlotte Stage, whom we heard was working at the Chautauqua Maid milk plant as secretary. Much to our disappointment we found she was now employed out west. As we walked toward our car we saw Ross Munson loading milkcans on trucks, Ross told us that the milk plant's chief competi- tor was Charles Quick's Dairy on North Erie Street. The next morning we took a plane to Yellowstone National Park. Upon arrival we set out with our guide to view the natural wonders. In the midst of the huge trees, we suddenly heard something crashing through the bushes and yelling like mad. It was Dave Hansen in a ranger's outfit, running as fast as he could with a large black bear right behind him. Dave was carrying a huge piece of chocolate cake which the bear apparently found very tempting. Our guide shot a gun into the air and frightened the bear away. We went back to the hotel at the entrance of the park and were greeted by the hotel manager, Marlene Little. Our waitress was Lillian Robinson, who was helping Marlene out for the summer. Zada had to send out a letter, so she sent for the public stenographer. After a few minutes a young lady came toward us, and when she came closer we saw it was Charlotte Stage. She was employed as hotel stenographer. Charlotte told us she had always corresponded with Vesta Rater. She said Vesta ran a dude ranch near Tomb- stone, Arizona, This interested us very much and Gladys and I set out for there the next morning. Vesta was very surprised to see us and said she had some surprises for us. She was anxious for us to see the beauty salon at the ranch. When we opened the door we knew why, for there was Nancy Miller, hair-dresser, and Patty Gallagher as manicurist. Vesta suggested that the three of us go to Niew York to see Beverly Phillips starring in 'tLife's Little Problems which was now a hit on Broadway. We changed trains in Tulsa, Oklahoma. As we had two hours between trains we decided to look the city over. We went to the Hotel Sheraton for lunch and there in the lobby sat Stephen Elliott. He took us to lunch in the main dining room. Hunk, as we used to call him, told us that he was interested in oil. As we Walked out of the hotel, after bidding farewell to Steve, we bought a newspaper. On the front page we read that the multi-millionaire, Steve Elliott, had found new oil deposits in Iran. We had no idea that his interest in oil had been so great. We also read of the new technicolor television 'phones that had been in- vented by Richard Chamberlain, the great electrician. Dick has gone a long way since his first job as apprentice electrician in the Westinghouse plant. Returning to our train we noticed that sitting across the aisle from us was none other than Frank Estep. Frank was now employed as chemical engineer at Carnegie Institute of Tech- nology in Pittsburgh, Pa. Before we hardly realized it we were in the great city of New York. The porter called a taxi for us. The driver got out and said, Where to, madam? Then, with a surprised look on his face, said: What are you girls doing in New York? We saw that it was Ted Chapman, our old school pal from M. C. S. Upon arriving at our hotel we called Beverly Phillips. We told her that we planned to attend the opening night of Life's Little Problems. She was excited to think we were in New York and invited us to a party after the stage play. Life's Little Problems was a wonderful play and we discovered that Beverly' was deserving of all the advance advertisement, On the program we saw that Joyce Anderson was make-up artist. At the party, which was held at the Waldorf-Astoria, we saw many old friends. Mrs. Crester, whose husband is owner of Crester's Tile Company, Inc., we discovered was the former Patsy Ross of Mayville. As we walked U . S. I. THE PACEMAKER -1950 out on the terrace we saw Bob Berthold. We talked with him for a while and dis- covered he was accountant at Macy's Department Store. Just then Paul Weise and his wife walked over to us. Fuzz', had never lost his interest in buses and he is now owner of a large bus syndicate. He showed us pictures of his family which had grown since we last saw him. The next day we drove out on Long Island. As we were driving along we saw a sign which said, Rockwell, Wood 8z Gage, Inc. We drove in and Tweedy came out of the house to greet us. The boys were engaged in truck gardening and frozen foods. They specialize in frozen homegrown spinach. We went back to our hotel, and realizing that our vacation was nearly over, decided to pack. The following day we were to return to our individual jobs. Our trip had been so much fun-we will never forget it, for during the short time of our vacation we had seen nearly everyone of our Senior high school classmates. Each in turn had brought back happy memories of the Class of 1950, of our Senior year with all its activities and excitement. These were memories which would always be pleasant and would long remain. -Vesta Rater, Gladys Legros, Zada Petersen. .... -Qb- .- CLASS POEM MEMORIES I was sitting doing lessons The teachers, I know, will miss usg When I thought, now it soon will be We ve been exceptlon-any Smart In history, ag, and art.

C. Friday morning a group of 41 high-spirited Seniors and two chaperones leftla crowd of anxious but happy parents and friends on the steps of MCS. The bus .trip from Mayville to Olean seemed to take hours, but at last it was over. Our train arrived at 10:45 o'clock. All of us piled in, making ourselves ready for a very long and tiring trip. Lunches were dragged out when the train had gone only a short distance. There was little to do except play cards, talk and eat. The train seats, which turned around, had never experienced as much turning and twisting probably in the history of the coach. At 10:10 p. m., we arrived at the Union Station in Washington. Our first sight was the dome of the Capitol building which was brightly lighted. We Went to the hotel on buses. After unpacking, most of us went out for something to eat and a quick look around our new surroundings. We came back to the hotel tired and ready for our first night in Washington. Saturday morning we started out for a tour of the city, passing many places of interest and visiting the Rock Creek Zoo. This proved to be one of the most enjoyable visits of the week. Our next stop was the National Episcopal Cathedral which is as yet uncompleted. The beautiful rose window, at the front entrance of the Cathedral, is made up of more than 200 individual pieces of glass. After this inspiring visit we went to Arlington Cemetery to see the amphitheatre where we would attend the sunrise service the next morning. Many of us stopped to take pictures of the soldier who guarded the Tomb of the Unknown Soldier. The tomb is located at the rear of the amphitheatre and both are made entirely of gleaming white marble. The Lee Mansion, which was next on our itinerary, gave us a picture of the early life in the United States. After this we returned to our hotel for lunch. At 1:00 p. m., we were on our way again. On our way to Annapolis Naval Academy, we stopped at the Franciscan Monastery. As we were guided through the monastery we were awed by the beauty of the lovely paintings and altars. Our visit through the catacombs gave us a realistic picture of the original ones in Rome, which are said to be more than 600 miles long. At Annapolis we went through the chapel where the crypt of John Paul Jones is located. We also visited the large swimming pool and gymnasium. In the museum our interest was caught by the small model ships. W We returned to the hotel ready for a good meal. After supper many of us went to one of the many theaters. We were all ready for a good night's sleep after an exciting and fun-filled day. Very early Easter morning we arose and made our way to Arlington for the sunrise service at the amphitheatre. It was a very impressive ceremony with the famous Marine band furnishing the accompaniment for hymns and the procession Some of the lucky ones received tickets for the reserved section of seats, Following the service many returned to the hotel while others went to churches of their own denominations. With lunch over, we started for Mount Vernon. passing through historical Alexandria, Virginia. We saw many points of interest here, including Christ Church, the church George Washington attended. Our next stop took us to the Washington Masonic memorial. This building included many of Washingtonls personal belongings. A few of us were lucky to see a large Persian rug on display. It was over 300 years old and took 27 years to complete. Soon we reached Mt. Vernon with its wide spacious lawns. We went through the house first where one of the many old pieces is a grandfather's clock which is still running. After this we took in the spinning-house, smoke-house, stables, servants' quarters and kitchen, which were all separate from the main house. We then pro- ceeded to Washington's tomb and the docks, After wandering around the lawns and lovely gardens we went to the small museum located at the rear of the house. This proved to be of interest to all. After this we loaded into our bus and were on our way back to Washington for supper. Again we boarded our bus to visit the Lincoln Memorial. The beautiful, life-like figure gave all of us a feeling of sheer reverence. moving spotlight. An eerie blue light was cast on J efferson's Memorial which reflected in the still waters of the Tidal Basin. This gave us a scene of superb beauty. The cherry trees, which were all in bloom, were magnificently displayed with a THE PACEMAKER 1950 We then made our way to the Library of Congress. This huge stone building contains about 10,000,000 books. We visited the reading room where books on every subject are shelved. Many of us took in a movie or enjoyed a walk while some went back to the hotel. Monday morning found us at the Pan-American Union building, The array of plants and trees gave us a picture of tropical beauty. We saw the large assembly hall where the delegates of the member countries of the Pan-American Union meet. The chandeliers shining brilliantly in the light, and marble pillars were lovely. Next we took a tour through the U. S. Capitol, seeing the Senate and the House. Our group picture was taken on the front lawn of the Capitol. We all walked to the Supreme Court building. This huge building is made entirely of gleaming white marble. The Folger Shakespearean Library was our next stop. This contains a replica of the theatres in Shakespeare's day and many of his original manuscripts, After a quick lunch we started out for the Old National Museum and then the New National Museum. These contained an array of many things. Lindbergh's Spirit of St. Louis. the first plane to fly the Atlantic, as well as skeletons of pre- historic animals. We would have been willing to stay much longer in these buildings of science, art, history and industry. We had an appointment at the Federal Bureau of Investigation at 4 o'clock and met it with great excitement. Our guided tour through the FBI took us to the labora- tories where men and women were at work tracking down clues. We visited the shooting gallery for a display of gunmanship. Our tour gave us a real idea of how this bureau operates. The entire class went out for a very good dinner at the S. W. Cafeteria. That night was free to us for whatever we wanted to do, Some went to a movie, others stayed at the hotel. A few members of the class saw the Spike Jones show at Consti- tutional Hall. Tuesday morning came all too soon with two more tours to complete. We found out about 7 o'clock that we were to pack our things and be ready for our first tour an hour later. Clothes were jammed into suitcases and all of us had a quick breakfast. Our first tour that morning was the Bureau of Engraving and Printing. All gov- ernmental documents are made here, including paper money. We went next to Wash- ington Memorial. Many of us walked to the top, a total of 898 steps. while others went up on the elevator. From the windows at the top we got a grand view of the city. Most of us went down on the elevator which took approximately one minute. Some of the braver ones, with the energy, walked down. The afternoon we had off for shopping, After our shopping was finished some went to movies, walking. and three of us went swimming at the Hotel Ambassador. After our last meal in Washington we were transported to Union Station for our trip home. On the train some of the fellows, who had bought squirt guns, had a water fight, soaking themselves and everyone else who happened to be around. We had acouired four new members to our class. These included two rabbits and a pair of white mice which two of the girls had decided would make excellent presents for their younger brothers. After two or three trips through our car the porters selling pillows and food, most of us finally drifted off to sleep. At 5:30 Mr. Steward rounded us up and we arrived in Olean about 6 a. m., to be greeted by our bus-drivers and quite a bit of snow. Breakfast was consumed in a hurry. At about 10:30 forty-one MCS Seniors, two chaperones, two rabbits and a pair of white mice arrived in Mayville. Our Washington trip was over. Now we have only memories. Oh! but what wonderful memories! These five days had given us something we will remember forever-our Senior trip to Washington. -Q- JUNIOR PLAY During our Junior year we presented the three-act farce, Ulntroducin' Susan by Tobias. The cast included Dick Chamberlain, Patsy Ross, Dave Hansen, Louise Webber, Ted Chapman, Marlene Loomis. Charlotte Stage. Charlie Quick, Beverly Phillips, Keith Ross, Myron Leet and Richard Rockwell. Mrs. Lydia Rider acted as director, and Janet Pickard as student director. The play was a real mix-up. Every character became involved in-a misunder- standing. Boys dressed as girls, and girls dressed as boys, and no one knew who anyone else was. ' However, it all turned out very well, and we made about 5200. 195U THE PACEMAKER SENIOR PLAY On November 18 and 19 the Seniors presented their play. Boys About Bobbettef' by Albert Johnson. It was under the supervision of Mr. Harris Steward, and Marlene Little and Patty Gallagher served as student directors. The cast consisted of Robert Blaylock played by Richard Chamberlaing June Blaylock, Vesta Raterg Bobbette Blaylock, Zada Petersen, Mrs. Raddleball, Beverly Phillips, Miss Blodgett, Janet and Janice Pickardg Mrs. Washington, Nancy Miller, Socko, David Hanseng Pieface, Charles Quick: Shammyneck, Steve Elliott, Ophelia, Louise Webberg Yoko, Keith Ross, Mrs. Stockdale, Patsy Ross, Mrs. Poo, Charlotte Stage, Mrs. Clarence, Marlene Loomis, Frieda Fish, Gladys Legrosg Squint, Ray Biekertg models, Joyce Anderson, Florence Chandler, Lillian Robinson and Janice Pickard. Boys About Bobbette is about Bobby Blaylock who, at sixteen. is still more tomboy than young lady . . . to the proud delight of hcr dad and the neurotic distress of her mother. It is an unhappy coincidence that the Culture Club's annual fasliion show, to be held at the Blaylock home, occurs cn the same night that Bobby's football team, the Dirty Dozen, has a big game scheduled. All ol Bobby's friends are modeling in this event, and Mrs. Blaylock in her innermost heart has yearned to see Bobby in lace and silk and tulle, make her appearance down the steps in the spotlight. But Bobby w0uldn't think of letting her team down! She is an important part of the team . . . she doesn't just root, she's the team's official goal-kicker and morale builder . . . especially for Socko, the shy, husky-voiced captain of the team. But things take on a much different perspective when Bobby learns that pretty, feminine Frieda Fish is teaching Socko to dance . . . not only Socko, but Shammyneck and Pieface, too! lt's enough to make a goal-kicker run away from home! And that is just what Bobby does, but Miss Blodgett puts the proper word in her ear and the play ends happily for everyone. Each member of the Senior class will never forget the accident that happened the first night at the end of the first act, when the beautiful stage curtains tore as they were being closed. However, they were soon repaired and the play continued uninterrupted. . , We were all very happy and felt the play was a success, We realized about S200 toward our Washington trip. U E LASSMEN 1950 THE PACEMAKER THE PACEMAKER 1950 JUNIOR CLASS The Junior class officers are: President, Frank Henshaw, Vice-President, Nancy Graham, Secretary, Janice Green, Treasurer, Emma Barton. The c'ass has had a busy year. With our aim as raising money for the Vtlczshington trip, we have had various activities. Our first protect was obtaining subscriptions for the Jamestown Sun. The town of Mayville and outlying towns were canvassed. We were fairly successful. The next activity on our list was putting on a dance.. This we put on in November. We called it the Kigmie Dance. Everyone was to come dressed as Dogpatch characters. There was round and square dancing and plenty of refresh- ments. Everyone had a good time. Prizes were awarded for guessing games and winners of a balloon dance. The King and Queen of Schmooland were chosen as Elaine Nosbisch and Thomas Marsh. The gym was gaily decorated with pictures of characters from Dogpatch. ln February we began working on our Junior play. The play chosen for presenta- tion was, A Night of Confusion. The cast included Delores Beck, Nancy Graham, Bi.l Chamberlain, Janice Green, Tom Marsh, Roger Dornberger, Phylis Burke, Jeanne Carlson, Marlene Dorman, Elaine Nosbisch, Emma Barton, Frank Henshaw, Phil Young and Norma Barber. The play was presented April 2l and 22. The Juniors also put on a prom as their last big fling of the year. During the year the Junior homeroom had many different teachers. We started out with Mr. Wicklund but lost him at the end of the first half. Mrs. Petersen substituted. Then came Mrs. Rider but she only stayed a few days. Mr. Vance and Miss Paolillo took over to end the list, We liked them all and studied hard for them.

We have in our English class published a few editions of the Chatterbox, Our interests in the paper have decreased since the first of the year, but we had fun putting out the first editions. ln January our English teacher, Mr. Wicklund, left and we had Mrs. Rider for a week. Now for the rest of the year we have Miss Paolillo. We had a Christmas party when gifts were exchanged. Our class presented Mrs. Johnson, our homeroom teacher, with a set of hurricane lamps.

There are nearly forty of us. Our homeroom is 207, which is a large room, but not any too large for so many. The officers of this year are: Paul Paddock, president, Hazen Ross Jr., vice-president, JoAnne Ames, secre- tary and treasurer, Mary Jane Gervoise and Leo Rathburn, student council members. We nad onefhew person come to our room this year, Ronnie Dorman. At the Hallowe'en social, put on by the Seniors, we had a skit. It was called Oliver's Operation, written by Betty Boardman. Oliver was played by Tom Burke. I-le suited the part very well. When it came time for a Christmas tree, we had quite a time talking anyone into getting one. At last two of the girls who live in 'town said they would. lt was a big tree. We decorated it with the ornaments the Seniors of 1949 left for. us. For refreshments at the party we had ice cream and cookies. Shirley Beckman furnished the candy. This year, for the Freshmen, has been a successful one and we all sincerely hope the rest of our high school years will be as good.

There are four classes, namely: typing, home economics, driver Training and shop. There are three typing classes with a total of 52 students. The program for this class is about the same as for the high school students. There are two home economics classes with a total of 20 students. Their program consists mainly of sewing. The more experienced are taking up tailoring. Driver training classes meet every day of the week except on Friday with a total of 30 students. They drive in groups of four. The course emphasizes not only safe practices in driving, but courtesy as well. There are 23 students in shop. The class lasts for three periods. Most everyone works with art metal. Some receive instruction on home repair. All of the machines of the shop are made available and the students can do whatever they like. All ot the classes meet once cr week with the exception of driver training.

About 25 girls ioined the group. The following officers were elected: Dorothy Harrington, president, Phylis Burke, secretary. They helped to run the library by shelving books, checking them in and out, and dusting shelves and fixing bulletin boards. During Mrs. Carlson's five-week vacation, the girls took complete charge of handling the books and magazines. They did a very good iob, too. They plan a picnic before the close of school, to climax their activities. ---4::ozJ--- DRIVER TRAINING The driver training class has expanded from last years class of 20 students to an enrollment of 41 students this year. There are four in each class, two classes are scheduled for the same period and each class drives twice a week, and has one class period a week, Our instructor is Mr. Schmidt. This is the second year he has served in that capacity. We believe that he is getting accustomed to some of the errors that many times send the car toward the ditch. We all are wondering if his patience is strong enough for another year. All members of the class will be ready to try the State test for drivers' licenses in June. We feel that this is one of the most worth-while courses offered at Mayville Central School. SAFETY PATROL The Safety Patrol had 20 members this year. The force consists of one captain, seven lieutenants, and twelve patrolmen. Several promotions were made to the boys doing the most outstanding work. Two play nights and wiener roasts were held by the members. THE PACEMAKER 195 1950 THE PACEMAKER THE STUDENT COUNCIL The Student Council is the student governing body of the school. It consists of two representatives from the grades seven through twelve. The officers this year were: Keith Ross, presidentg Phylis Burke, vice-president, and Doris Goodrich, secretaryg Mr. Willis Sprague, supervisor. The Student Council sponsored a dance at the gym with records, and a student orchestra playing for square dances. They have secured charters from several neighboring schools and are drawing up one for this school's Student Council. Another duty done this term was the picking of the schoo1's assemblies for the coming year. 1. -QQ- ..- F. F. A. The Future Farmers of America is an organization of Ag members. The object of the group is to promote better living through projects and competition with other organizations. The officers are as follows: President, Gilbert Hayward, secretary, Norman Conferg treasurer, Rodney Love, advisor, Mr. Norman Reno. This year the class went to the Royal Winter Fair in Toronto in November. They saw cattle and machinery from all over Canada, Mexico, Europe and the United States. Also short field trips to Jamestown and nearby towns have proved very inter- esting and educational. The Ag students have a new Ag room this year. In September we moved from our room in the main building to the red brick building in the rear. Thevwhole building has been improved and changed to make very desirable rooms for us. It is much more like home than the ordinary classroom. We have a fireplace, tables, chairs, book and magazine racks and even two davenports. ' The F. F. A. had a basketball team this season. We played the neighboring town Ag teams. Every year we put up a booth at the Chautauqua County Fair, which helps to replenish the treasury. . Lately the classes have been learning a little about reforestation by actually planting young trees in back of the school on some brushy land. This year we planted 1,000 Scotch Pine trees. A The Mayville Future Farmers of America is a successful organization, thanks to the careful guidance of Mr. Reno and Mr. Petersen. . .- -QD- ... AUTO MECHANICS This year the Auto Mechanics course has been one of real interest. Mr. Schmidt has been teaching his pupils by the learn by doing method. The class has had several important projects thisfyear. Besides learning the functions of different parts in the engine and chassis, the class has done major repairs such as valve-grinding and timing an engine. Its rnain project of the year was to convert the old school bus station wagon into :a useful pickup truck, The class hopes to take over its new quarters in the agriculture building as soon as a suitable place for the fire engine, which is nowjwthere, is found. it I 1 v 9 THE PACEMAKER 195 if 52 THE PACEMAKER 1950 MCS BAND This year our band worked its way up to play the highest possible grade of high school band music, grade VI. At the spring Music Festival held. in Fredonia May 5th and 6th, we were the only band playing music of this degree. The II rating which we received is satisfactory even though all concerned had hoped for the best. In leading up to the Festival our band played four public concerts during the school year-in October, December, March and May. Last summer we played seven Sunday afternoon concerts at Mayville Lakeside Park. We also participated in seven parades throughout the county, taking first prize at the VVestfield Firemen's parade. In October several of our band members took part in the All-State program held at Norton Hall in Chautauqua. At the annual Music Conference held at Saratoga Springs in December, our band was represented by Myron Leet, who was accompanied by Mr. Fox. In November the band put on a program at an area teachers' conference held in Mayville and furnished between-acts music for the Senior play. We also played several numbers preceding the March of Dimes minstrel show in February. In March we gave an assembly program at Forestville Central School, Besides these performances of the band, several instrumental soloists and ensembles have appeared on programs elsewhereg namely Bemus Point assembly, Chautauqua assembly, Tuesday Club meetings, and the Schoolmasters' Association meeting. To close our activities for the year our band will play a concert for the student body. We have also been invited to two other outside affairs-a program for the Dunkirk radio station in June, and another for the Western New York Teachers' Con- ference to be held in Buffalo next fall.

THE PACEMAKER 1950 SINGING TEENS The Singing Teens is a group of ten girls chosen irom the three high school grades tor their interest in music and their ability to sing in ensemble. We have worked hard all year under the able guidance of Miss Rogers to improve our tone and blending. Then we used what we had learned by singing for several concerts and twice at the Dewittville Church for special services. We participated in the Music Festival at Fredonia where we received a Il rating. We hope to welcome new members next year and to have the fun we've had this year. -Q- Education is the ability to do what should be done whether you want to do it or not. The most important thing to be gained from school is the habit of doing good work. 1950 THE PACEMAKER THE PACEMAKER 1950 MAYVILLE CENTRAL SCHOOL MIXED CHORUS This year our chorus consisted of about forty-five members under the direction of Miss Frances Rogers.

A guidance counselor 1S shared with Chautauqua Central School. One of the chief functions of guidance service is to help the individual: 1. To understand himself better-his own limitations and abilities. 2. To choose high school courses better suited to his ability and his future plans. 3. To choose, to prepare for, to enter upon and to progress in an occupation. To accomplish this, we include the following: 1. Individual interviews with each pupil, grades 8-12, to interpret test results, to survey possible courses of action and assist the individual to make wise choices of courses, subjects and vocations. 2. A test program is carried on to provide more objective information about the interests and abilities of the pupils. Achievement tests chart progress in the tool subjects. 3. An individual inventory is kept for each pupil. This includes personal data, test results, scholastic record, extra-curricular activities, etc. All this con- tributes to a more adequate understanding of the individual. 4. Information on occupations is provided. A pupil may investigate the require- ments, training, opportunities and trends of various occupations before making a choice of a vocational field. 5. Information on training opportunities on all levels helps the individual to make realistic plans for the future in terms of his vocational choice. The faculty, administration, counselor and community working together are able to assist pupils in making intelligent, realistic choices of vocations which makes their present work in school more meaningful. Mayville School sponsors or co-operates in the following activities which contribute to the guidance program: Eighth and Ninth Grade Pupil and Parent Nighi. This program is held each spring to acquaint pupils and parents with the school program, graduation require- ments and to develop a course plan for each pupil for his high school years. Counseling Clinics are held to which pupils may go. Bus transportation is pro- vided. Here the pupil meets with people who are experienced and successful in the line of work for which the pupil believes he would like to prepare. Information as to the training, physical requirements, trends, disadvantages and advantages and opportunities may be discussed. Looking at College Life is a day program for Seniors who are going away to college. Upper-classmen from seven or eight colleges and universities of the State discuss with our Seniors the problems of adjustment, finances, study, living away from home, etc., that most will face when they go to college. Students now in college tell us that these meetings have been most helpful in anticipating problems so they are more easily met at college. Broadcasts and Industrial Trips help to acquaint pupils with a Wider range of occupations so they may make a wiser choice for themselves. A Testing Program in the eighth to twelfth grades makes available to pupils the opportunity to try tests of interest, achievement and aptitude. By means of these tests pupils can find their strong points of ability and interest and select vocational areas in which their chances of success are greatest.

It became active in Mayville Central School in I944. The purpose of employing dental personnel is to aid the medical inspector in the examination of pupils for dental conditions, and to perform such duties as relate to the dental health instruction of the pupil. The primary purpose is the examination and cleaning of the teeth, and the reporting of defects to the parents. Another important factor is the dental education of the small children. The dental hygiene teacher has classroom demonstrations explaining the importance of proper care of the teeth. There are contests for the care of the teeth to make the children more enthusiastic. The younger children receive the sodium fluoride treatment which retards decay of the teeth. This past year one hundred children received treatment. Records are kept of each school child, the defects he has and defects corrected. The dental hygiene teacher is trained in a professional training school which is registered by the Regents of the University of the State of New York. They must be licensed to practice in their respective fields. As in all other educational fields, they are constantly striving to improve their program. March of Dimes Again Mayville Central School entered into the March of Dimes campaign. The home rooms used various clever devices to encourage giving, and the school came through with flying colors with a total of 519988. Mrs. Cady's sixth grade led with 54094, or 51.35 per pupil. Second was Mrs. Holmes' fourth grade with 52355, or 84 cents per pupil. Mrs. Bullock's first grade was in third place with Si5.5O, or 66 cents per pupil. On February i, 1950, residents of Mayville were entertained in MCS gym by members of the community dressed as Negro songsters in a minstrel show, a band concert directed by Mr. Fordyce Fox, and popular music by Frankie Mutch and his orchestra. There was a dance after the program. MCS gym was filled to capacity and everyone enjoyed himself, as well as having the satisfaction that he gave to a worthy cause. The Chatterbox The fun of editing the official school newspaper is in the hands of the Sophomore English class. Everything is done as a class project and with the inspired guidance of Miss Paolillo we have been fairly successful. The Chatterbox staff: Editor, Sue Limbaugh, Assistant Editor, Cindy Anderson, Sports, Bill Moss, Sally Gallagher, Chatter, Chuck Scofield, Marlene Faulkner, Doris Goodrich, Art, .lane Nelson, Jo Ann Beckstrom, Milton Cogswell, Features, Ivlary Lou Renner, Henry Graham, Dick Toner, Don Long, Ads, Gene Balcom, Emerson Chandler, Distribution, Fred Ossman, Carol Jacobson. THE PACEMAKER 1950 BAS EBALL Our baseball team started to round out as a baseball power in the league as Coach Vance said it would. He said in '49 we would have a good team, and in '50 we should have a championship team. In the '49 season we had a won-lost record of 5 and 3. The team in spots showed the form that could take them to the championship but we were defeated by a strong Clymer nine. The l95O Eagles have a total of lO lettermen back from the '49 team. The leading batters were: R. Chamberlain .5l6, T. Kling .385, S. Elliott .37O, and K. Ross .304. Boys earning letters in 1949 were: Richard Chamberlain, Alvin Nelson, Thomas Kling, Philip Young, Stephen Elliott, Keith Ross, Charles Quick, Rodney Love, Gordon Rothwell, Robert Carpenter, Raymond Carlson, Theodore Chapman. 1950 THE PACEMAKER ':T 'fT l77,il ?f1,, . 3'ffi 'Wf'?fEW 4'F1. THE PACEMAKER 19502 FOOTBALL l'vlayville's six-man football team, coached by Sponsler Limbaugh, completed a fairly successful season, headed by co-Captains Phil Young and Charley Quick. They won four out of six league games, thereby earning second place in the league. Early in the training season veteran pass receiver Corky Hull was benched with a broken leg, making it difficult for the remaining seven veterans and inexperienced substitutes. ln addition to the regular schedule the Mayville gridders were defeated by a highly regarded Parks private school team from Buffalo. To climax the season the teams of the league were entertained at the Cassadaga Central School for the annual football banquet. The team wishes to express its sincere appreciation to Coach Limbaugh, who has used his time and effort so unsparingly in its behalf. -1-12O3r---- TRACK The first track team since this school was built was organized by Coach Hank Limbaugh. The boys started out rather slowly, but developed into one of the best track teams in the area. The team attended meets at Mayville, Falconer, Westfield, Dunkirk and Lakewood. . At Lakewood, in the bi-county B championship, we walked off with the trophy. At Dunkirk the biggest track meet in the county was held. All the AA, A and B schools participated. Boys earning track shoes were: Thomas Kling, Philip Young, Charles Quick, David Hansen, Stephen Elliott, Richard Chamberlain, Keith Ross, Alvin Nelson, Roger Dornberger, James Hansen and Rodney Love. 1950 THE PACEMAKER THE PACEMAKER 1950.

She was followed by Janie Nelson with an average of 111. --4::ez::--- BOYS' BOWLING TEAM The bowlers of Mayville Central had a rather limited season this year, due to a late start and interference of basketball.

However, Mayville was represented at the tournament. The boys wel'e faced with much taller and more experienced opponents. ln spite of all the handicaps we won two and lost four. The team was coached by Hank Limbaugh and the boys playing were: Roger Dornberger, William Chamberlain, Henry Graham, Paul Wood, Richard Drake and Eugene Balcom. I 'I 1950 THE PACEMAKER GIRLS' BASKETBALL This year the girls were very successful in basketball. Teams were organized from the different classes to play noon-hours. These teams also practiced after school on Thursdays. Playday was at Cassadaga on January 7, with ten schools represented. Mayville came out in fourth place, led by Cassadaga, first place, Westfield, second place, and Falconer, third. Our second playday was at Jamestown on February 4.

THE PACEMAKER 1950 CHEERLEADING Cheerleaders were chosen this year by the point system, by members of the faculty and Student Council. The varsity squad consisted of Louise Webber, captain, Elaine Nosbisch, co-captain, Marlene Loomis, Zada Petersen, Phylis Burke and Janice Green. During football season the cheerleaders could be seen selling tickets to the spectators for the Athletic Association fund. During basketball season, several pep meetings were held to teach the student body the new cheers and review the old ones. This was the busiest time for the cheer- leaders as they helped to cheer our basketball team to its Section VI championship. The iunior varsity cheerleading squad was composed of Nancy Graham and Marlene Faulkner, co-captains, Emma Barton, Jeanne Carlson, Sally Gallagher, Trudy Kelsey and Mary Jane Gervaise. The girls made new uniforms and assisted at the pep meetings. The last event of the season for the cheerleaders was serving at the Athletic Banquet. We want to congratulate both squads for their excellent participation throughout the season. ---4::eb--- Never put off till tomorrow what- should be done today! 1950 THE PACEMAKER GIRLS' VOLLEYBALL ACTIVITIES Volleyball teams were organized among the different classes. These teams played noon-hours and after school on Thursdays. Our first playday was held at good old MCS on March 25, with nine schools represented. Mayville again held up the honor of first place, followed by Cassadaga, second place, and Westfield, third place. Again Mayville finished in first place at Brocton, where our second playday was held. We are all anxious to keep our good record in the softball season. ---4::o::---- GIRLS' SOCCER ACTIVITIES Soccer, our first athletic event of the year, started out with a bang. We had two practice games with Chautauqua after school, plus our own practice games at MCS. Playday was held at Cassadaga on October 22. There were five schools represented. The outcome was a three-way tie for first place between Mayville, Chautauqua and Westfield. Every difhculty is a challenge, don't let it be a defeat. Success is living up to the best of one's abilities, to do less is failure ! Your parents' greatest ioy is in the successful living of their children! The person you are to become you are now becoming! Live oniy one day at a time, but make it a masterpiece. Character is not a gift, it is a victory!
