Mechanicville High School - Halfmoon Yearbook (Mechanicville, NY)

Text from Pages 1 - 120 of the 1964 volume:

YEARBOOK 1964 BY YEARBOOK STAFF MECHANICVILLE HIGH SCHOOL MECHANICVILLE, NEW YORK FOREWORD The theme of our yearbook is expressions—the various facial aspects that mark every school activity. We have tried to capture some of the unforgettable expressions of our senior year which show not only the feelings that come from within but also the shades of emotion that are an indestructible part of our special year. The results of our various endeavors through the year are shown in the way we express our inner feelings. Come with us as we look back on the moments that will build our future. 2 3 JOHN F. KENNEDY Let the word go forth from this time and place, to friend and foe alike, that the torch has been passed to a new generation of Americans—born in this century, tempered by war, disciplined by a hard and bitter peace, proud of our ancient heritage, and unwilling to witness or permit the slow undoing of those human rights to which this nation has always been committed, and to which we are committed today at home and around the world. These famous words were spoken by our late President, John Fitzgerald Kennedy, in his inaugural address. We, the members of the class of 1964, are part of the new generation of which he speaks. Words could never express our feelings or explain the void left by his horrible and incredible assassination. We would rather let this serve as a reminder to us of our loyalty, love, and dedication to a great man. Let us, when we look at this in the future, be reminded of his principles and ideals; and let us then renew our pledge that we will do all in our power to see them carried out in his memory. If this remembrance can serve this purpose even in a small way, and only with a few people, it will have, to us at least, served a greater purpose than any ordinary memorial ever could. 4 MISS MARY MASTRIANNI Principal MR.

Ermalawitz as J. Caruso and T. Crowther look on. ENGLISH EMPHASIZES Expressions play a great part in the various Eng- lish departments. One can tell by the expressions that students are enjoying a bit of literature, are re- lieved at having finished a term paper, or are concen- trating during a discussion. These activities are the keys to communication, and English stresses the im- portance of communication. Innovations this year: English 3200, for review in 12th year, and team teaching for 10th, 11th and 12th grades. 42 Mr. Whitbeck lectures to the team teaching class of juni T. Dalton give� oral report in Mrs. Keniry's English 9 class as the rest of his group, S. Aiardo, A. Sullivan, and J. Serbalak wait their turn. COMMUNICATION Miss Foy locates important areas of the world as A. Strianese, M. Vega, T. Dalton, B. Hebert and S. Canfield observe. THE WORLD REVOLVES AROUND HISTORY Mr. Hertz discusses the Cuban problem with J. DelPrete as D. Valent, N. Falco and F. Mastropietro listen. History through the ages has recorded men's failures and suc- cesses. By studying these records through the four years of high school, the student becomes aware of past mistakes and learns to avoid them in making de- cisions in the future. The AA.H.S. history department endeavors to educate its students in all aspects of history. — Mr. Blakely's History 11 class seems very interested in the discussion going on be- tween Mr. Blakely, M. Cavotta, and D. Callender. Mr. Hickey helps R. D'Alberto with 9 difficult problem as the rest of the History 10 class concentrates on homework. GENERAL SCIENCE Mr. Cocozzo looks on as the class works on their homework assignment. SCIENCE CREATES EXPRESSIONS OF INTEREST BIOLOGY 46 Mr. Slate supervises, as L DeVoe, M. D'Aloia, R. Fortune, and F. laciabelli work on the dissection of a grasshopper. CHEMISTRY Miss Pickett directs J. Volpe and J. DeChants in the preparation of an experiment, as E. Cavanaugh weighs out the necessary ingredients. Today science is rapidly changing and our AA.H.S. science team is well pre- pared to teach our students these new concepts. Our science department, con- taining courses in General Science, Earth Science, Biology, Chemistry, and Physics, endeavors not only to teach known facts, but also to encourage the initiative of our future leaders to experiment and discover new concepts. Expressions of in- terest, amazement and satisfaction are formed on the faces of the students who grasp these new concepts. Mr. Doherty demonitrete precession with the spinning wheel es the Physics class looks on with amazement. 47 BUSINESS SUBJECTS Miss Ryan dictates a short letter to her Shorthand II class. The business courses prepare our stu- dents for a fast moving commercial world. With courses such as business law, book- keeping, secretarial practice, shorthand, business math, and business management. 48 Mr. Sands helps Marie DelPrete with a hard problem in Bookkeeping I as the rest of the class concentrates on the day's assignment. dffer opportunity Our business faculty provides a well round- ed curriculum in which to train our future executives and secretaries for our modern world. Janet Shook and Johnel Roy get help from Mrs. Woehrle as the other girls in secretarial practice look on. Mr. Singsheim, who resigned at mid term, helps John Peluso, Earl Simpson, and Billy D'Ambro with a problem. 49 MATHEMATICS FOSTERS INITIATIVE Mr. LaVigna gives a few helpful suggestions to J. DelPrete as J. Lilac, R. Roman, M. Keegan, P. Phillips and D. Sack attempt to do problems in Math 12. A new term, modern mathematics, is used today to denote the entire realm of mathematics with its newly developed methods. Our math department, with its new course, Introductory calculus, strives to implant in our college-bound stu- dents good reasoning ability for our scientific age. This newly added course is usually taught in the first year of college, but has been established as an experi- ment in our math curriculum. We hope that this experiment is a success and will be enlarged in the future. 50 Mrs. Pingrey's algebra class looks pleased as they go over the day's assignment. Rich Russom looks at the camera as Miss Howe supervises John Paselivic, Sharon Mormile, and Maria Canonica as they construct geometric figures. 51 EXPRESSIONS ARE BORN IN HOME ECONOMICS ART CLASS FOSTERS CREATIVITY HOME ECONOMICS Home Economics offers our girls prac- tical experience in cooking and sewing. The students learn the basics of a good diet, and how to prepare and serve food. Instruction is also given in choosing mate- rial and patterns for clothing and articles for the home. What they learn in Home Economics, prepares the girls for a fu- ture as a good homemaker. Miss Delfs looks on proudly as her Home Ec. students, Cathy Delano, Cassie Mans- field, Barbara Doten, and Mary Notro enjoy, if you'll pardon the expression, the fruits of their labor. ART DEPARTMENT Under the direction of Stew- art Leuthner, the Art Department plays an important role in our high school curriculum. Primar- ily concerned with showing how art can become a part of every- day life, this department strives to make the student aware of what has happened, and is hap- pening in the field of art. The Art Department offers an excel- lent source of knowledge in the basic techniques and in the abil- ity to handle materials with skill. Pat Zecca seems out of place with her paint brush, as Mr. leuthner discusses a technical problem of mechanical drawing with Pat Marzano. In today's world, fluency in at least two languages has become a necessity for a well-rounded person. M.H.S.'s language de- partment attempts to give the student a facility in his chosen language and also to familiarize the student with the culture as- sociated with this tongue. Fa- miliarity with a language other than his own widens the stu- dent's understanding of his own language and also introduces him to other cultures. No person should be restricted to one lan- guage; the language department of M.H.S. seeks to give the stu- dent another. Mr. Underhill li� tens in on B. Johnson's interesting conversation, while S. Sullivon wonders if she is next. LANGUAGES REPRESENT EDUCATION Aiss Tilly helps J. Piroli with a difficult translation while the rest of the class works ihead. Mr. Acosta runs the Spanish II tape in the language lab as S. Ricciardone, J. DeChants, J. Cowen and F. Mastropietro seem to be con- centrating. 53 PHYSICAL EDUCATION STRENGTHENS OUR YOUTH Coach Brady calls off the count as the boys' gym class strains themselves to do good push-ups while the cameraman snaps the picture. 54 An old proverb, A sound mind in a sound body, is well exemplified by our physical education department with its well-trained staff. To supervise all aspects of athletics, we have Miss Ruggeri, coach Weigle, coach Martone and coach Brady. With this excellent coaching team, our school can be proud of its physical educa- tion curriculum. With our well equipped gymnasium, any sport, from tumbling to baseball, can be accommodated. V. Palmer, B. Russo and M. Siciliano are amused as Miss Ruggeri points out G. Sadowski's mistakes. 55 INDUSTRIAL ARTS ENCOURAGES CREATIVITY INDUSTRIAL ARTS Students of M.H.S. who are interested in automobiles, elec- tricity, and in working with wood, have wonderful oppor- tunities in our well equipped In- dustrial Arts Department. In the General Wood Shop, the students become skillful in the construc- tion of articles made of wood. In Automotives the student learn, the fundamentals of the automo- bile through the solution of artifi- cial problems in the various sys- tems of the vehicle. The course in electricity offers the student an opportunity to learn the the- ory and practical uses of that me- dium through projects involving electricity in communication anc in industry. Considering Donn Gooley's expression, we wonder if Donn knows more about this machine than Mr. Rando does. Mr. Mellon has a few suggestions for Bob Morrocco, Doug Kenny, and Rich Sparano as they decide why the engine won't start. 56 SPORTS KEY TO TEARS AND CHEERS GRIDIRON EVENTS BRING SPILLS AND THRILLS First row: Asst, coach Anthony Cocozzo, E.

Although the record may not be impressive, AAechanic- ville High School fielded a fighting football eleven that showed a great desire to win. Highlights of the season, which won good support from the fans, were the Ballston and Saratoga games. Coaches Charles Brady and Anthony Cocozzo deserve congratulations on a job well done. Frank lacobelli finds running room at the game against Draper. Third row: G. Amoroso, G. Lindemann, M. Sulham, B. Fortune, T. Salvadore, M. Pickett, D. Gooley, D. Grimaldi, R. Sparano, R. Fortune, P.

This season has been marked by extremely close scores. The season opener against Saratoga resulted in a heart- breaking loss by only one point! The following week, the hoopsters bounced back to defeat Johnstown by one point! The record fails to show the true ability of the AA.H.S. team because of the superior strength of the West- ern Conference. After a slow start, the Junior Varsity played hard and ended the season with a winning rec- ord. Under the fine coaching of Mr. Martone and Mr. Maru, the Mechanicville teams have made a fine showing on the basketball courts of this conference.

Fusco, L. Bagnoli, Coach Brady. This year our school added the art of wrestling to the variety of sports offered. Under the guidance of Mr. Brady, the boys learned new holds and standard techniques nec- essary for successful competition. Our team had five meets—two with Schylerville, two with Cambridge, and one with Hoosic Falls. Although we scored no victories the boys made fine showings, raising hopes for fu- ture years. Coach Brady demonstrates a wrestling hold on Pat Baker as the rest of the team looks on. 62 63 Rich Sparano put forth extra effort in the hot-put event. In their first season under the direction of Mr. Hickey, the baseball team showed promise for a successful year. They won the first five games and went on to fin- ish the season with a 10-6 record. In the Vi final sectionals, they were victorious over Watervliet, but lost to Hoosic Falls in the next game. Highlights of the season were the defeat of Scotia, the only one in Western Conference play, and the no- hit, no-run game pitched by Don Aldrich against Burnt Hills. With the return of several outstanding players, Mechanicville's hopes for this season are good. C.

It is the duty of the council to regu- late student activities and provide leadership for the student body. The aims of the council are many: to promote school spirit, give clubs ample chance to raise money, keep the student body informed on the work of the council and the po- sition of the administration in school policy, to help others, and to generally improve and uphold the standards of the school and student body. This year among its many activities the coun- cil has drawn up a calendar of all school activities, sponsored a bonfire before the Saratoga game, carried on the successful CARE and Salvation Army drives, sponsored the Mr. Red Raider con- test, made plans for the annual class day program, and kept the student body informed on many topics by frequent P.A. announcements.

Baker—president. Aristoi is the local unit of the National Honor Society. Membership in the or- ganization is attained by students who have maintained an 85% average for the first three years of high school work. Under the direction of Miss Kiley, the so- ciety aims to hold the four objectives of scholarship, character, leadership and service before the student body as goals toward which all should strive. The society emblem is a keystone superimposed on which is a flaming torch. At the base and on either side are the letters C, S, L, and S-the initial letters for the words character, scholarship, leadership and service. Members of the society were inducted into the organization at the traditional candlelight ceremony. At the same time five seniors were inducted into the Nation- al Honor Society, and Aristoi members tapped underclassmen for the Junior and Sophomore societies, Alpha and Omega. 70 OUR HIGHEST HONOR These students, having maintained an average of 90% for three years, are members of the National Honor Society: Carmen Marmillo Colleen Hebert Joan Gronczniak Delia Sack Mary Nolan During the induction ceremony of the National Honor Society, President Gary Baker reads the history of the local honor society, Aristoi. 71 YEARBOOK STAFF Mr. Whitbeck, advisor for the yearbook, looks over page layouts with Marie Polonis and Frank Mastropietro of the staff. This yearbook is meant to be a record of the school year 1963-64. For seniors it will be a lasting memory of high school days. To those of us on the staff it is the result of many, many hours of work. Despite the rushing to meet our deadline, the hours in preparation, and the endless worrying it has always been a labor of love. We, the staff, will always enjoy looking back at this record be- cause it holds so many memories, and because a part of each one of us is in it. Our only wish and purpose is to share this enjoyment with you. EDITORIAL BOARD F. Mastropietro, M. Polonis, P. Keniry, M. Baker and D. Sack discuss plans for a divider page as D.

SENIOR AUTUMN As I walk through the misty morning streets, the flaming leaves fall down around me. Although my mind is crowded with the day's events, a sadness finds its way into my being. Sadness? Why, in the ice-creamed world of seventeen years, is there room for sadness? It is the sadness of knowing that there is no more. The sadness of gazing upon the last rose, the sadness of the last melting snowflake, the sadness of the April robin's fading breast. Gowned in beauty; wearing slippers of sadness. For I know that each step is falling back into time as a fading, sweet memory of the autumn of my senior year. The unique autumn of looking ahead while still trying to grasp the withering edges of yesterday's joy. This autumn that will never come again possesses a hap- piness, too. It is that happiness left behind after the passing of a sweet moment. Marie Polonis STUDENT LIFE Everyone is a student, for to live is to learn; but, for students in high school, learning is more pronounced. Not only does a student in high school learn from books and teachers, he also learns by meeting, studying with and working with others. High school days provide ample opportunity for both. Classroom work and discussion permits the student to develop a questioning mind and the ability to communicate with others. It is in the classroom, too, where friendships begin which can develop more in extra-class activities. By having membership in an or- ganized group, such as a class or club, a student learns how to work with others for common goals and to sacrifice one's personal wishes for the good of the group. High school years are rewarding and memorable, and it is for this reason that they are so long remembered. The most important aspect of high school days, however, is that they provide guide lines which young people can follow in prep- aration for the giant-step into the adult world. FALL Fall is a colorful time. The air is crisp and the sun is bright. A new school year begins and excitement runs high with the selection of new leaders and the making of plans for the year ahead. Football is the one thought in everybody's mind, as groups organize and new friendships are established. 92 CLASS OFFICERS FOR THE 1963-64 SCHOOL YEAR JUNIOR Front row: Joe DeChants, president; Sarah Staffield, vice-president.

WINTER In winter the trees sleep and birds have flown south; the sky is cloudy, but the world is white. There's a time of joy and peace on earth and resolving to make the year right. Now is the time for basketball, skiing and mid-term exams. With cold-nipped ears and frozen feet students huddle outside school anxious for the bell to ring. 95 C. Delano look� on as C.

During the month of January, 1964, a panel of students of AAechanicville High School appeared on a local quiz program, the Little Red School House. The show is designed for high school students, and is based on quick recall of specific facts. On January 6, the team of Brian Bren- nan, John Cowen, Mary Nolan and Delia Sack, with Laura Demers as alternate and Mr. Earl Whitbeck as advisor, vied against a team from Fort Plain High, Mechanic- ville came out a winner and two weeks later went up against a group from Broad- albin. After tying in the first contest, the Mechanicville team was defeated a week later by the Broadalbin team. For their efforts, the team brought home $112.50 which was contributed to the new high school. The Mechanicville High School student body was presented with a wonderful opportunity to learn about the vast impli- cations of our space program, through a lecture and demonstrations performed by representatives of the National Aero- nautics and Space Administration. The program included a concise history of rockets dating back to the ancient Chi- nese, an explanation of our present space efforts, and demonstrations of rocket pro- pulsion and differences in the various rocket fuels. Also on display were models of several satellites, missiles, moon-mo- biles , and other media of space travel. Little Red Schoolhouse BRIAN On December 12, 1963, a group of students from M.H.S. traveled to Albany to participate in the Times Union History contest. One of them, Gary Baker, returned with a prize, a $25 bond. The other students who partici- pated were Brian Brennan, John Cowen, Joan Gronczniak, Jerry Johnson, Anita Lane, Car- men Marmillo, Mary Nolan, Pam Phillips and Delia Sack. 97 proud at being eighteen. Here's that Little old winemaker , J. E. Boshko. 98 SPRING Mike Baker gets into the swing of spring! In spring the world comes alive again and is mud luscious and puddle wonderful. Each day is greeted with warm expectations. As the school year nears its end, there is studying for exams, plans for the sum- mer and blueprints for the following year. For seniors it is a time of reflection and a time to say good-bye. Upperclassmen enjoy an outing at the Saratoga battlefield. 99 Where's the mustard? By early spring, members of the yearbook staff began doing something useful. B. Laiacona, J. Boshko, D. Kutey and N. Falco wait for a free lane at the Bowlero. 100 B.

Johnson and ahead and can't believe it. L D'Amico look at the work The yearbook '65 staff settles their differences the hard way.

These lordly seniors crowd regally behind the halfmoon at the senior dance. 104 The senior chaperones are Mr. M. LaVigna, Miss M. Pickett, Mrs. L. Comeau and Mr. A. Cocozzo. MR. YEARBOOK For many years the head of the English department and advisor for the yearbook has been Mr. Whitbeck. Without his help this yearbook would not have been possible. There is no way of our adequately expressing our thanks. Indeed, one page in our yearbook seems to be meager gratitude for all he has done. We only wish that he could know the full measure of our apprecia- tion. THE CLASS OF '64 God pity them both; and pity us all Who vainly the dreams of youth recall For of all sad words of tongue or pen The saddest are these: 'It might have been!'
