Mechanicville High School - Halfmoon Yearbook (Mechanicville, NY)

Text from Pages 1 - 128 of the 1968 volume:

Happiness Is WHAT IS HAPPINESS This book attempts to be a record of happiness, although happiness can- not be recorded. That we once ex- perienced a strange mixture of the wistful, the comical, and the common- place and called it happiness is enough. That we knew something else that wasn't happiness, but which made the happiness sweeter, is just as impor- tant. We hope that Halfmoon '68 will help us to recall a year's happiness and to share its memory with others. It can- not bring the happiness back for it is with each of us always, a large part in some and a smaller part in others. We will go on, of course, to find new happiness; but 1968 was special. What is happiness? Happiness is. That is enough; that is everything. 2 What’s Happening Table of Contents 3 English 1,2, 3,4 American History African Seminar World History World Geography Math 9, 10, II, 12, 13 Algebra Physics Chemistry Biology Earth Science General Science Physical Science Health French 1, 2, 3, 4, 5 Spanish 1, 2, 3, 4 Latin 2 Typing 1, 2 Personal Typing Shorthand 1, 2 Secretarial Practice Bookkeeping I, 2 General Music 3 Theory Chorus Music Appreciation Band Office Practice Business Law Retail I Introduction to Business Business Arithmetic Home Economics 1,2, 4, 5, 10, II Auto Shop Introduction to Mechanics Electricity Ceramics General Wood Mechanical Drawing I. 2, 3, 4 General Metal General Shop Radio Basic Art Advertising Design Advanced Art Art Appreciation Boy's Physical Education 1,2, 3, Girls' Physical Education 1,2,3, 4, The functional beauty of our school makes the pill of educa- tion easier to swallow.

Its members reflect varied backgrounds, but all have the distinction of being chosen by the people. Fair-minded and sincere, the members of the Board have maintained high standards for Me- chanicville schools. They are a vital part of a democratic process. The Administration Miss Mary Mastrianni, principal, is well schooled as a former classroom language teacher to meet the de- mands and problems of her posi- tion. Mr. David Millman, superintendent, is respected by all, and his enthus- iasm for M.H.S. is especially ap- preciated by the students. Mr. Russell Forbes, administrative in- tern, is enjoying half a year with us and, meanwhile continuing work at Albany State. A former English, teacher, Mr. Brad- ford Fancy, Administrative Assis- tant, is a well known figure around school. Mr. Reed Payne, business adminis- trator, is the man who controls the purse strings for The Mechanicville school system. 7 Mrs. Thelma Canonica, librarian, has in- stalled a new microfilm reader in ad- dition to her many other duties. Mr. Cavanaugh, attendance officer, in- vestigates absenteeism and assists in handling records. Mr. Gerald Cameron, audio-visual di- rector, orders and reviews materials, co- ordinates audio-visual activities, and in- structs students in the use of equip- ment. Mrs. Marie Bodner, school nurse, besides being in charge of attendance, conducts health tests, advises the Future Nurses, and copes with any emergency. Mr. Gene Gore, psychologist, counsels students and helps them to make various adjustments in school life. Miss Grace Mueller, speech specialist, works primarily in the elementary and middle schools to correct speech prob- lems. The secretaries are indispensable for a smooth-running school.

English Earl Whitbeck English 4 The field of English is used as a key to communication be- tween peoples. In addition to regular work, tape recorders, overhead projectors, reading laboratories, and films are used to improve reading, to expand individual vocabularies, and to develop various types of writing. The main objective is simple, direct, and forceful expression. Every day more is being added to supplement the broad field of English; yet, though the field is vast and varied, the teachers try to teach students alertness and basic principles so that they may achieve success in their chosen field.

Karl Hickey World History Mrs. Underhill explains to her World History students that there is still unrest in Africa today. Mr. Hickey shows that the National Geographic magazines help World History students to understand our past relations with other countries. Social Studies The History Department attempts, through the required courses of World Geography, World History, and American History and an optional course in African Seminar, to instill not only an understanding of the past, but also a realization of the present. It is essential for all in today's society to understand the rest of the people in the world, their economy, problems, and politics. Responsible citizenship, the goal of all Americans, is being furthered by the history courses at Mechanicville High School. Mrs. Doris Hills American History II, 12 African Seminar Science Miss Mary Pickett Chemistry Through the years, man's curiosity has resulted in vast studies and experimen- tations in the field of science. High school courses in science have been de- signed to familiarize students with the vast sources around us. By observations, discovery and experimentation students are able to grasp a part of this knowl- edge through courses in General Science, Earth Science, Biology, Physical Science, Chemistry, and Physics. These studies are beneficiary to those students who do not plan to pursue a scientific field as well as for those who may continue their studies. Robert Severson General Science Anthony Cocozzo Earth Science, Health G. Zigmon. B. Emerson, B. Woshanko, and B. Baker measure the - angle of diffraction with a protractor in Physics lab class. Miss Pickett’s chemistry lab students examine the solutions in their test tubes to see whether or not its contents are miscible. J. Benamati and M. Johnson carefully measure ticker tape before proceeding with their pendulum experiment. Mr. Cocozzo questions his class about the textures and physical characteris- tics of different types of rocks. 17 N. Ryan end B. Overocker ore waiting for suggestions to solve a distance problem. Many of today's affairs and complexities of modern society could not be managed without the use of mathematics. Without mathematics, our mod- ern machine and electrical age would be impossible. We could not keep records or manage any business beyond the smallest. Mathematics ranks as one of the cornerstones of modern civilization. The Math Department of M.H.S. offers courses in Basic Math, Algebra, Geometry, Trigonometry, Introductory Analysis, and Introductory Calculus. John Legasse Math 10 18 Mr. Bombadier cnecks to see if J. Fusco and M. Ryan are doing their assignment in Math 13 correctly. P. Riciardone, D. Luciano. A. Caschera, and P.

The girls in Mr. Legasse's Geometry class talk about last weekend while the boys try to find the area of a square. 19 Language A second language is becoming more and more nec- essary today for acceptance into college. The Mechanic- ville High School Language Department has tried to help the students by offering them courses in French, Spanish, and Latin. These courses cover the fundamentals of each language. While the emphasis is placed on listening and speaking in the beginning, once the student has achieved a satisfactory level, he is taught how to read and write the language. The French and Spanish courses follow the A-LM program, while the Latin students pursue a different course of study.

Quelle heure est-il? W. Morgan seems to have the answer. L. Sherman's mind seems to be on something other than Latin 2. 21 Art The ultimate aim of secondary school education is to develop a com- plete and rounded personality. We believe that our Art Education Pro- gram's most important contribution lies in making the student realize that he must (I) observe keenly and react vividly (2) develop memory and imagination (3) exercise judgement and discrimination (4) express ideas courageously and logically and (5) construct with power and with vision. The student who has acquired these abilities through active classroom practice will be well equipped to meet the opportunities that are offered to him after high school.

Music Music is in the air at M.H.S. every period of the day and after school, too, with choir and band rehearsals, individual lessons, and meetings of special groups like the Choraliers or the Jazz Band. Behind these outward manifestations lies much more: general music, music theory, and mu- sic appreciation courses. The band and choir concerts are the climaxes of much hard work; furthermore, they indicate to the entire com- munity the high caliber of musical study at M.H.S. Meanwhile, the band room, where all the behind-the-scene activities occur, is a spacious retreat both for M.H.S. musicians and for their classmates who appreciate good music and want to learn more about it. We are proud of our excellent music department and proud to be noted for it. 24 Mr. Finney points out that the tenors have the melody in this song. A the ninth period bend doss draws to on end. Miss Shiebler keeps the band at a steady pace as they play one ot their concert numbers. Mr. Gibeau helps F. Brown to finger a low c properly. C. IIZO, C. Maciarello, M. Provancher and H. Vredenburg show us that their music lessons aren't that strict under Miss Shiebler. 25 Mr. Magee has a lot of help in correcting J. Rinaldi's work in Mechanical Drawing. With the increasing number of modern skyscrapers and complexes being built to- day, the knowledge of skilled architects, en- gineers, and mechanics is in constant de- mand. To keep up with the pace of an in- dustrial society, courses are offered by the Industrial Arts Department in auto mech- anics, ceramics, electricity, general wood, mechanical drawing, and radio. The instruc- tion, both practical and theoretical, has been so thorough that the auto mechanics class has produced boys skilled enough to place high in the Plymouth Trouble Shooting Con- test.

Wichelms watch. 27 Physical Education Miss Suzanne Stethers The Physical Education Department stresses total fitness of the mind and body through a vigorous variety of activities. Physical fitness is achieved through an ex- tensive five-day program consisting of var- ious exercises, periodic skills tests, and actual competition. The second goal, mental fit- ness is reached by developing sportsman- ship, good conduct, and the rules of indi- vidual sports. Michael Martone w.

Miss Marion Huxley 28 S. Ino waits for his turn to return the volley ball during one of Coach Stipano s gym classes. Miss Stether's gym class finds that uniformity, form, and beauty are the results of hard practice. Boys in Coach Martone’s gym class warm up with wrestling drills. 29 Business Ours is a business-minded world, and many stu- dents at M.H.S. are preparing to take their places in it. This is not an easy task, for the competition is keen, the requirements varied, and the individual demands great. A wide range of courses is the key, and M.H.S. has it; shorthand, typing, office practice, bookkeeping, introduction to business, business law, secretarial practice, business math, and business retailing are offered. In addition, the bookstore operated by business students under the direction of Mr. Prosser, pro- vides practical experience, serves the various de- partments by handling orders, and gives every stu- dent easy access to the most contemporary read- ing at reasonable prices. Future businessmen, sec- retaries, stenographers, and accountants are all molded here while other students acquire skills that will later prove invaluable in any field. i Frank Crowley Bookkeeping I. 2; Office Practice; Typing 2 Miss Katherine Ryan Shorthand I. 2; Business Law Mrs. Gray seems pleased at the rapid pace of her Typing I class during a timed writing test. 30 J.

Business Math Home Economics The Home Economics course at M.H.S. teaches the girls not only how to sew and cook, but also the skills and abilities re- quired in home management. In addition, the classes consider in- terior decorating, first aid, child care, and good grooming. What the girls learn in home economics prepares them for a future as a good homemaker. G. Fuchino, N. Coslanzo, and J. Connelly look at a well chosen cut of meat and discuss how to choose the best meat products.

Under the guidance of Mrs. Hills and Mr. Crowley, the Student Council provides the leadership for the entire school. The Council composes a calendar of school events as well as sponsoring a Care cam- paign and a Salvation Army drive. In the spring of '67, the candidates be- gan a vigorous campaign. The halls were decorated with posters, platforms were pre- sented, and the public address system rang with promises. On May 25, the students went to the polls. On Class Day the results were announced: the Equalities (J. Rusco, C. Connors, S. Caputo, D. Luciano) emerg- ed victorious over the Spartans (P. Loman, A. Pitcheralle, M. Ryan, and L. Hatalsky).

Thirty-four enthusias- tic students turned out to discuss the theme and various sections of the book. During '67 pages were planned and various fund-raising projects were carried out. In the fall of '67 the first deadline approached. Layout—layouts revised; write-ups—write-ups re- written; copysheets—typed over; it all seemed impossible. The staff has shrunk some since that first meeting, but the following have held on: Frank Brown, Meg Canavan, Marge DeCrescenzo, Tom Delaney, Jill DiBello, Jo DiBello, Donna Festa, Janet Kom- orske, Paul Loman, Dick Marinello, Anne Ptfcheralle, Mike Russo, Shirley Smith, Helene Welch, Nancy Fortune, Janice Ingraham.

Ingraham don t seem to mind their work. 37 Yearbook ’69 The staff of yearbook '69 concentrates on developing the foundation of their year- book with both ideas and financial support. In addition to promoting their account with such activities as selling candy at home foot- ball games, members receive instructions on lay-out procedures and discuss an appro- priate theme for their yearbook. MEMBERS OF THE YEARBOOK '69 STAFF STUDY LAYOUTS: L. D Amico. L. Vickery. E. Richards. R. Perretta, R. Toombs. S. Ryan. M. Dyer. D. Pangburn. S. Johnson laughingly discuss the theme of their yearbook.

To be eligible for Omega (sopho- more), Alpha (junior), or Aristoi (senior), stu- dents must have maintained an average of eighty-five percent during the previous years. Seniors with an average of at least 89.5 are members of the National Honor Society. Monday night, January eighth, was be- low zero; but many parents gathered in the cafeteria to see their sons and daughters honored. Aristoi, Alpha, Omega, and mem- bers of the National Honor Society were announced. A student-teacher day is planned for May. THE MEMBERS OF THE NATIONAL HONOR SOCIETY: R. Fusco. C. T hrane, N. Ryan.

FTA A career in the field of teaching re- quires preparation and foresight. Under the guidance of Miss Pacelli, the mem- bers of the Future Teachers of America are given an opportunity to see what teaching is really like. Through conferring with teachers of various subjects, mem- bers may receive information on the problems and situations faced in a teach- ing career. In addition to gaining valu- able insight in the profession of teach- ing, members are eligible for a scholar- ship award given each year by the Mechanicville Teachers Association to a promising senior.

The Raider eleven notched its first untied, unde- feated season since 1948, not only sweeping the Colonial Council but also blanking rival Saratoga. Under the guidance of Coaches Stipano and Pres- ton, the team compiled an 8-0-0 record allowing only seven points to their opponents. Quarterback Larry Hatalsky and Halfback Vince Russell led the offense behind an impregnable line. In area scor- ing, Vince placed second; Larry was third in touch- down passes—14. Nine members of the squad were elected to the All Star Colonial team: Larry Hatal- sky, Vince Russell, Warren Fisher, John Taglione, Jim Benamati, Will Russell, Tom Richardson, Val Serbalik and Dom Luciano. Co-captain Pat Erano was injured in Watervliet game. Under coaches Ralph Maru and James Trapini, the Junior Varsity team posted a 6-1-1 record, los- ing only to powerful Linton and tying Ballston Spa. The Freshman team, coached by Sam Izzo and Gary DiLallo, was undefeated in five games. M.H.S. J.V.

For the first time since its inception, the Raiders took first place in the Christmas Tournament. At the end of the season, M.H.S. and Wat- ervliet were tied for third place in the Colonial league. The Raiders easily defeated Watervliet in the play-off but fell before S. Glens Falls in the first round of the Sec- tionals. Co-captains were Vince Rus- sell and Bill Malo. Vince collected honors as the most valuable and the most improved player; he was in- cluded on the second team of the All Stars by the coaches. Bill was noted as the hardest worker, the best shooter, and as exhibiting the most team spirit. Ant and Pat in action!! Vince goes in for a lay-up. 79 FRESHMAN PLAYERS: M. Marra. A. Cimino. J. Baker.

Hush Day was observed No- vember 10th. To save their voices for the pep rally that afternoon, students were silent. Anyone caught talking in the halls was compelled to pay a one cent fine to one of the football players or cheer- leaders. Some teachers even put a cup in their class rooms and anyone talking had to pay. Teach- ers were exempted from paying a fine, but if any were caught they paid anyway. $58 was col- lected. That afternoon at the pep rally John Fusco, Stu- dent Council President, introduced Miss Mastrian- ni, Coach Stipano, and Mr. Millman, the main speakers. Then came the awaited event; every class cheered individually led by the cheerleaders. A group of teacher judges awarded the Seniors $58 for cheering the loudest. That night there was a parade from the Middle School to the High School where the last event, the bonfire, took place. 99 Uthaithani Principal Visits M.H.S.

Hudson St. 664-3241 MR. AND MRS. ALEX ZIGMON 119 15 THIS THE BEGINNING OR Our senior year passes. No more will we look around to say Next year for we have no next year at M.H.S. Now we are a little envious of the underclassmen who have one, two, even three golden years left. Golden? Surely there were some pretty unhappy times in spite of yearbook themes; there had to be. But now, especially now, it is easy to forget the bad and to remember, praise, the good. We have so many plans, so much ahead of us ... commencement. We have so many memories, so much behind us ... finis. The Yearbook '68 staff (Frank Brown, Meg Canavan, Donna Caputo, Cathy Connors, Regina D'Ajberto, Marge DeCrescenzo, Tom Delaney, Jill DiBello, Jo DiBello, Donna Festa, Nancy Fortune, Janice Ingraham, Janet Komoroske, Paul Loman, Dick Marinello, Anne Pitcheralle, Mike Russo, Shirley Smith, and Helene Welch) would like to congratulate itself. We also wish to thank Russ Toombs, a benign junior who helped us out as photographer, all the faculty members and students who aided in procuring write-ups and pictures, and Mr. Charles M. Schulz, who kindly granted us permission to employ his famous Peanuts characters in our theme. As for Mr. Whitbeck, this yearbook is his gift to us; without him we never would have made it.
