1... The MAC '54 Volume 7 McGraw Central School McGraw, New York WHY FINISHING TCUCHES Two years ago, a favorable decision authorized a change from a high school to a centralized school. With the change came the necessity of building a new school addition, The last two years therefore, have been a period of construction and modernization. Many dreams existing only on paper have at last materialized. Our school is now equipped with class rooms of the latest design, a separate auditorium and gymnasium and a modern cafeteria. The auditorium was the last room to be completed with the arrival of the modernistic aqua and brown curtains. Our ample athletic field, southwest of the building will soon be finished for use. As the building adapts itself to the six hundred active boys and girls for whom it is a school home, there will be finishing touches to obliterate or repair slight, unavoid- able blemishes. These finishing touches mark the end of our building program and give rise to a fitting theme for our '54 Mac.', TABLE CDF CCNTENTS Dedication -, is is ,.

The Yearbook Club of 1954- wishes to dedicate this issue of the Mac to Mr. Harold Crozier who through his tireless efforts has helped make the publishing of this book possible. For five years Mr. Crozier has been the photographer of the Yearbook and has done an excellent job every year. He was a member of the School Board for seven years until his present position forced his retire- ment last year. Mr. Crozier resides on Elm Street in McGraw and is now employed by the Ithaca Journal. 4 , V: - ,ee 1 5 .,, . A ,,J....t,.,S-....a..- V. g, ' ...W ..-gg .. A.....,...1., ., W ' iii. J. .. al.

WHERE THE DECISION ARCDSE Xlrs, llulbert. an eflieient secretary to Nlr. llacr. takes care of the many school records. keeps neat orderly files and handles the countless phone calls. She gives a helping hand with a smile to the students. teachers. and business callers who stop at the office. Some additional finishing touches to the building program will need to be carried out such as fencing the athletic field, laying out the baseball diamond and soccer field, as well as the purchase of some needed building equipment as maps. globes and piano for the auditorium. A few of the highlights in the building program were as follows: Ground was broken on May 26, 1952. The cornerstone was put in place October Q1. 1953. Copies of the 1952 and 1953 Mae, containing pictures of the Board of Education. faculty. students and other per- sonnel of the school during the time of construction were included. A copy of the bulletin distributed at the time of centralization and a copy of the leaflet used at the time of the bond issue. together with the record of votes in each ease were inclosed. Included was a letter of acknowlcdgincnt, written by the principal. of the fine workmanship and cooperation shown by the architects, contractors and others in- volved in any way in the building program with the school personnel from the board of education to the pupils in the grades. Not a single day of school was lost during the time of construction. The gymnasium was used for the first time on No- vember 15, 1953. The auditorium was completed. ready for use on February 4, 1954. Open house was held February 224-. 195-1-. We now seriously hope the boys and girls, faculty. and people of the central school district will make the most of the school's facilities to do a better job in the field of education. A program of adult education classes and driver training for the coming school year are now in the process of being formed. H rw '1 :A1 TT it ,I l First Row: Diane Allis, Nancy Smith, Edward Strack.

There are 23 members in our class this year, To start the year off right, we ordered our class rings. name cards. caps and gowns, and Commence- ment invitations. Next on our agenda was the selecting of our annual play. Chosen was Gown of Glory, written by Phillips, and we presented it under the di- rection of Mrs. Heath and Mrs. Nellenback on the 12th and 13th of March. This play was a success and tihe money, of course, went towards our annual trip und. Uur trip!! That was the center of many class dis- eussions. During the month of November, the class voted on visiting both New York and Washington, ehaperonesg possible dates, and a few sightseeing spots. During midyear exams, the trip was forced to the back of our minds. However from the middle of Febru- ary until Easter the small details were figured out. voted on and accepted. Also, at this time, we voted on our class motto, colors and flower. Chosen, in order were: When things go wrong, d0n't go with them , purple and yellow: and the yellow rose. The dates for our trip were April 16-21st, Upon arrival in New York City on the 16th, the ebb of ex- citement was very high. We visited Radio City that night, and on Saturday we went sightseeing and to a television show and the 3 Ring Circus at night. Easter Sunday we attended the Riverside Church Service, the famous Easter Parade, and then after dinner we started for Washington, D. C. After spending two fast- going days there, we headed for home, tired but happy. Coming back to school from Easter vacation, we started the planning of our graduation exercises. One project, a major one, that our class undertook, was the selling of the Mac advertisements. We con- sidered this campaign very successful. Sports, throughout our Senior Year, have been an active interest with us. Three girls were cheerleaders, and three boys were on the basketball squad. Other class members participated in various sports, including volleyball, ping-pong and softball. A busy year? Yes! But one which we will long remember. WILLIAM ACKLEY June 16, 1936 RiHe l. Q F.F.A.

The first project was a maga- zine sale with proceeds going toward our next year's Senior trip. The sale was very successful and we went over our quota. The second project was the Junior Prom. Decorations and plans keep the Juniors busy but a nice dance was the reward. The Junior class has members in several clubs, chorus, band, cheerleading and on all sports teams. Though the Junior class is a busy one it is a happy one. I7 X M' 1 Seated, Left to Right: Nancy V. Smith, Student Council: Edward Straek, Presi- dentg Adela Gollner, Secretary.

We join in this hope. We have greatly enjoyed the pictures. letters. and gifts from our Japa- nese pen-pals. From grammar to litera- ture to plays to letter writing. That is ENGLISH. The Reserve Book Club is a service of the LIBRARY for students who read more than the average. and return their books on time. Two special privileges are enjoyed by Reserve Book Club mem- bers: reserving books being read by other students. having first choice on new books in the library. The club is administered by Doris Clark, Dorothy Elson. Jack Mitchell, and Mr. Gannon. LATIN I class is studying the future tense in Latin. In the textbook. porto is printed in the future and the students are writing another verb in the same tense. The class will now be able to read and speak about the future. Left to Right: Donna Connelly, Robert Phillips, James Goeteheus. Mr. I-Iowe's Business Arithmetic class solves many kinds of practical problems dealing with savings banks, fire insurance, partnerships, stocks and bonds, taxes and commissions. In this picture the students are working out a problem to reconcile the balances in a checking account. The practical knowledge gained from the solution of these problems should help the students to cope with many situations in life after school is over. Besides this course we may take Algebra or Geometry depending on our plans after high school. MEANS T0 AN END In Mr. Whitebread's Physics' class different types of experiments are performed throughout the year. The students shown in the pic- ture are experimenting to deter- mine the linear expansion of metals. Our lab. is equipped with many new instruments with which to work more efiiciently. The students have divided themselves into three different groups so that three ex- periments can be done at the same time. Individual experimentation in Biology, Chemistry, and Physics make the classes more educational and interesting. Up to this year we had to watch one student or the teacher perform the experi- ment. Now we can do it ourselves -the lab. has had its Finishing Touches. i Left to Right: James Connelly. Edward Struck. Fhurles Byron. George Ferris.

The classes have been working on various activities. Seventh grade was the first class to use the kitchens for food lessons. The eighth grade studied grooming and how to bathe a baby. Homemaking I concen- trated on home nursing while Home- making II is planning to make draperies for the homemaking room. Homemak- ing III studied Family Relations and struggled with term papers on the sub- ject. All the homemakers are learning to use the new equipment and to judge its value. A Desert Party was held for the mothers so they could see the work that was done. How good it seems to have such spacious quarters and modern equipment. SHOP Build it yourself has been the key- note of the ag-shop program this year. We moved into our new shop in Novem- ber. Much of the old material could not be adopted to our new surroundings. Since some of the items in the shop were not available the prepared blueprints had to be changed. Provisions had to be made for both lumber and metal storage. As soon as the power tools were set up we began construction of various items. The old metal bench was rein- forced and a new back was added to it to hold the metal working tools. A wood working bench was also con- structed. After these were completed we began work on a new combined lumber and sheet metal rack along with a metal rack. When the shop is complete the boys will start on their own projects which several are already doing. Each month as we progress in agri- culture we expand our new shop.

Citizen- ship Education is the new name for Social Studies- World citizenship as well as American. We speak glibly of Karachi, income problems of Iran, ther- monuclear energy. Textbooks are first source-maps, slides, charts, records, papers and magazines all help-we even find TV a vital help. Educating for citi- zenship is a big thing. VITAL STATISTICS Elaine is demonstrating and describ- ing her merchandise to the class. Demon- strating is one of the projects handled by the students in Sales Class. The stu- dents Icarn how to describe in detail p the features in a chosen article. This is l an important step in making good sales- men out of the students. Elaine is showing one of the new jackets to Leona, Mary Lou and Russell BOYS GYM This is the first year in our new gym and due to the dividing door more gym classes can be held. Everyone in school now has gym three times a week. Ropes and swinging rings have been added to the glym equipment and they are enjoyed by t e boys and girls in high school.

Practicing stunts is one of the favorite activities of the girls. A great deal of time was spent in developing form, coordination and rhythm. Many other sports are enjoyed by the girls. This year we sent a basketball team to Basketball Play-Day at Cortland High School and placed third. The girls have also held volleyball games with Cincinnatus. The new gym has made a big difference in the gym classes. THE First Row, Left to Right: John Loope, Ronald Smith, Robert Nowallc, Robert Card, Dorothy Bennett, Pearl Hayes, Barbara Russell.

The annual Senior Play was entitled Gown of Glory by Irving Phillips and published by the Dramatic Publishing Company. It was pre- sented on the 12th and 13th of March. The main idea of the play was to get Mrs. Lyall a kitchen cabinet but expenses of the church took the money they had saved. The minister had his problems both with the family and the church committee, who did not approve of his family's actions and his sermons. The cast was as follows: Rev.

These included handicraft, cooking, sewing, interior decoration and family relations. The family relations group invited Rev. Matthews to talk on family rela- tions. Rev. Matthews passed out some leaflets to help the girls. We also had a bake sale for a moneymaking project. On March 31 the F.H.A. girls gave a party for the mothers. The girls demonstrated the new equipment in the Home Ee room and showed a movie on room planning and color selections. The evening was topped off hy the serving of ice cream sundaes to the mothers.

The 1953-54 basketball season did not prove so successful by the record. The team started the season with only two men back from last year's team. We have hope that next ycar's team will have better luck with seven out of ten of this year's fellows returning. McGraw lost its last game at the playoffs in Homer against Truxton by a score of 51-42. After playing a poor first half, McGraw finished very strong but it was too late as the damage was done.

Richard Hopkins. The l1IcGraw Rifle Club moved into its new range this year with 28 members joining. The following officers were elected: President, Charles Byron: Vice-President, Max Crozier: Secretary- Treasurer, Edward Strack. The competition among the club members was much keener this year than in previous years even though only two veteran shooters were left from last year's team. On April 15 members fired the army course as prescribed by the Director of Civilian Marks- manship. Fourteen boys qualified as follows: Expert: Edward Strack and David Reynoldsg Sharpshooter: Evan Hulbert, Robert Walker, Robert Hines. Richard Hopkins, Charles Byron, Kenneth Baer, Rollan Elwood and Eric Gabriel- son: Marksman: David Crandall, Milton Allen, Felix Hicks and Max Crozier. The rifie team that shot the interscholastic matches also had a very successful year, as shown by the record. Mr. Baer selected the team for each interscholastic contest by taking the top five scores in a shoot off previous to each match. The team climaxed a successful season to date by winning the section four championship. Possi- bility for success in the future seems good as only one team member will graduate this year while three members are freshmen. WERE GRCWING A First ltou: Richard Fuller. Gary Sink.
