So hail our Alma Mater, loyal are we, Let us cheer our dear Old High School On to Victory. MR. GEORGE RE ES DEDICATION We, the Class of 1951, wish to dedicate our Yearbook to Mr. George Rees to show our appreciation for his many contributions to the opportunities of the youth of Minoa, for his constant efforts to provide better recreational facilities for our use, and for his keen interest in our school and its activities. Mr. Rees was born in Redwood, New York, attended Clayton High School and Cornell University. Since graduating, he has been associated with the following corporations: The New York Edison Co., The Aluminum Company of America, the Penn Public Service Corporation, the Meurling and Letchfield Consulting Engi- neering Company, Southern Dye Stuffs Corp., the Thatcher Process Company, the Lamson Company, and the Syracuse Bearing Company, which he organized in 1937 and where many former Minoa High School students are employed in responsible positions. Mr. Rees has been a member of the Board of Education for 10 years and served as its chairman for a majority of that time. During his terms, the enroll- ment has almost doubled, six buses purchased for transporting pupils, and the 'Annex' has been erected. He is Chairman of the Community Council, which sponsors 'Teen Town , where he spends his Wednesday evenings when not on a business trip to some part- of the nation. He travels from border to border and coast to coast at frequent intervals, contacting the leaders of our national industries. lt is a distinct honor to have a man of Mr. Rees' caliber as a resident and participating member of our community. We are proud to call him Friend . PRINCIPAL AND SECRETARY MR. LEE RISING, MRS. HAZEL STEWART BOARD OF EDUCATION FRONT ROW: MR. HUGH BUTLER, MR. GEORGE REES, MR. STANLEY KELLISH SECOND ROW: MR.

We were not born by accident. We all came with a mission to use our best efforts to extend the frontier of our Master's Kingdom,for we came into the world in the Christian era, the present era reckoned from the birth of Christ. Being a Christian means being the professor of the religion of Christ. How can this be possible if I know not the life of Christ nor his precepts or doctrines? Does this not give a very potent reason why I should study and know Bible History? Do mathematics books, books of litera- ture, science, and social science acquaint me with the life of Christ spent on earth and of his doctrines? It is true that the curriculum of our modern school provides for the mental development of the child, since here we find available materials of many sorts including innumerable books, periodicals for every age, motion pic- tures, radio programs, and lectures. The physical aspect of the child is indeed not neg- lected for many opportunities to develop the child physi- cally are provided through well organized and supervised activities. There is still another aspect of the child that must be given thoughtful study and great consideration and that is its moral development. Some things mentioned beforehand will influence the child, but will they provide sufficiently? It is in the study of Bible History and the life of Christ where the child will absorb the knowledge that will permit him to profess truly and proudly --- I am a Christian for I profess the religion of Christ, the history of his life, his precepts and doctrines and by possessing these, naturally and consequently my attitudes and duties to mankind are thus influenced. In the life of a Christian every moment and every act is an opportunity for doing the one thing -- becoming Christ-like. Should this not be sufficient reason for studying Bible History? Rev. Norbert Scheid, 0. F. M. Conv. REV. SHELDON B. STEPHENSON RELIGIOUS INSTRUCTCRS r so-'SSITN REV. NORBERT SCHEID 'In the beginning---Gods. To know God is the be- ginning of all knowledge. With Him we become like 'strong trees planted by the rivers of water which bring- eth forth their fruit in season, but without Him we are like 'chaff which the wind blows away. To the Chris- tian the first demand upon his life is to 'love God with all his heart and mind and soul and strength. When we know and love God we shall come to love one another, and because we love one another we shall be willing to serve even to the point of self-sacrifice. Serving God and our fellowmen brings the peace and satisfaction for which all men yearn. Rev. Sheldon B.

Waste paper we collected from far and wide, Mr. Maxwell's car was certainly tried. Sophomores we were, and at our best, We worked on projects with vigor and zest. We sold stationery, our treasury grew, The 'Wearing of the Green' was a big success, too. Forward and forward, juniors we became, Whatever the future, we still were game. Our Chicken Supper was a big success, And the News, Views and Clues of M. H. S.' A magazine drive, our class rings came, The 'Moonlight Masquerade' aided our fame. We were Seniors at last, and glad of it, too, Our dreams at last were coming true. The Senior Play we'll long remember, We put it on in early November. The plans for our yearbook, the Senior Ball, How would we ever accomplish it all? Then the Senior trip, New York, Washington, Now we know it was worthwhile, the work we had done. Next comes Class Night, and graduation, Then high school is done, except the final ovation. And we look ahead toward brightening skies, For IN OURSELVES OUR FUTURE LIES. M.L.D. 8a P. A. H.

Judging Delhi 2,3 Morrisville 2,3 Onondaga County High Scorer, Field Day 2 Honorary Editor of Yearbook ' We have all greatly missed our good friend and classmate, Eddie Benz, in school this year since he was stricken with infantile paralysis in August, l950. Eddie was well liked by pupils and teachers for his many fine traits and his wholesome character. He was always cheerful and willing to work. Eddie was always most cooperative with teachers, pupils, and members of his own family. As his teacher in Agriculture, I had occasion to know him well and can truly state that I have had but very few boys with the ability and cooperative spirit and character that Eddie possesses. When asked to undertake a new job, such as preparing for an F.F.A. Judging Contest or an F.F.A, Prize Speaking Contest, he never refused to be willing to attempt the assignment. He prepared himself for the task to the best of his ability and always made a good showing in the event, often being first or near the top. These same qualities are helping him in his struggle to regain his health. He has shown as high a type of courage as any soldier could display on a battle field and continues to show that courage and cheery disposition. just a few days ago while visiting him and taking a few pictures of him, he was feeling in good spirits and flashed his typical Eddie Benz smile just as he did when able to be in school with us. The writer thinks that all our pupils should take a lesson from Eddie. So many pupils blame everyone e1se,as teachers and conditions, for any failure or poor progress. They fail to admit that they might be at fault themselves and probably could do much better if they were willing to makie a greater effort. Eddie depended on his teachers, of course, but he was willing to take suggestions and make a determined, persistent effort on his own part. Great credit is also due Eddie's family. His parents and sisters have been so kind and thoughtful in looking out for Eddie and for their thoughtful acknowledgment for any little kindness any individual or group could do for Eddie. They are a wonderful family. Eddie told the writer on April 20th that he will be with us for graduation night. We will be looking for you, Eddie. We are glad that you are so much improved already. Our hopes, thoughts, and prayers will continue to be with you and plan that you will continue to improve so that again you can do most of the things that we do. Your courage, modern science, and the help of Our Heavenly Father are going to work together to get you out of this situation. You are winning the battle and will continue to do so. I know that everyone in the vicinity of Nlinoa sends you his best wishes at this time. F. S. M. ARLOENNE JOAN BILLINGTON 'Always in haste, but never in a hurry.

Zo.Tom CLASS HISTORY Twelve years ago, in the year 1939 the Senior Class began its journey to the year of diplomas. In Miss Field's register book appeared such names as Marguerite Cooper, Donna Craw, Marilyn Dieterle, Betty Hess, Betty janack, Margaret Leach, Pauline Lowe, Marjorie MacAleese, Sara Man- ning, Marion Peters, Betty Ratliff, Wilma Thorp, Joan Welch, Robert Butler, William Butler, Gerald Carhart, Andrew Casey, William Gammon, Wallace Gayring, Paul Holzworth, Donald Huller, Leslie Kyser, Charles Merritt, Robert Sollitt, George Spendle, Edward Sutfin, Willard Thorp, Eugene Vona, Douglas Philo, Eugene Hayes, Ronald Williams, and Richard Cooper. Second grade brought Miss Warren as our teacher and Nancy Butler, Frances Crolick, Mabel Teske, Alfred Maramao, Gordon Nodine, William Pollock, Jack Sandford, Harry Litchison, and Ar- thur Russell as new classmates. We shall never forget the empty food containers that we each saved for the store we had in the back of our room. We are quite certain this made us money con- scious! The next year was third gradeg our teacher was Miss Naatz. New classmates this year were Betty Bender, Donald Ripka, Donald Schroeder, Edgar Townsend, and Stuart Wilhoite. This advancement gave us ourfirst geography class and the study of cave men and those difficult 2x2's. New pupils in the fourth grade were Antoinette Ecker, Gerald Douglas, Leo La Clair, Mark Leach, john Magill, and Arlow Morgan. It was during this year that some of us made our first dra- matic stage appearance. Under the direction of our teacher, Miss Wyman, we presented the play, 'Hansel and Gretel.' We were quite proud of our performance! ln the fifth grade our teacher was Miss Kelley and new pupils were Frances Hill, Violet Philo, Doris Kastler, Margaret Leach, Leslie Hill, Carl Cooper, and Richard Ogden. Sixth grade brought Miss Fisher as our teacher, and only one new classmate - Gerald Crittenden. We were eager to pass this year so we might climb the stairs each day to the seventh grade and the top floor of the building. At last! With our teachers Mrs. Fromey and Mrs. Mac Intyre we found seventh grade considerably en- joyable. Our new classmates this year were janet Brownell, Shirley Courcy, Arlie Billington, Mary Petterelli, Mildred Sutton, Joyce Crittenden, Alice Luce, Irene Leach, james Callaghan, Thomas Dixon, Robert Gardner, George Wood, Milton Adsit, Le Roy Beechner, Russell Ratliff, Edward Wilson, and Andrew Casey. ln the eighth grade we found our home room teacher, Miss Greene, joan Shelley, Edward Benz, Gaynard Chapman, George Everson, Bernard Gerthoffer, Ken- neth johnson, Bradley Raynor, Robert Sandford, Richard Sutton, Richard Teske, George Van Skoik, and those regents papers. Our Freshman year, 1947, brought Mrs. Ransier as our home room teacherg Mr. Maxwell as our other class advisor. Gail Breakey, Doris Fletcher, Patricia Hill, Ruth Huffman, Maureen McNeil, Mary Michaud, Ethel Sandro, Faith Hickey, Carol Smith, Robert Birchler, Richard Lane, Robert Twinem, Leonard Zeiler, Conrad Barrett, and Thomas Storen were new class members. Our class project was collecting waste paper under the direction of Mr. Maxwell. Our class officers were: President, Nancy Butler, Vice President, Donald Hullerg Secretary, joan Welch, Treasurer, Thom- as Dixon. Oh, yes, will we ever forget that initiation? Our Sophomore teachers were Mrs. Collins and Mrs. Werching. New pupils were Tonya Mullen, Ann Hanson, William Brownson, Hubert O'Donnell, and Neil Bierne. We sold stationery as our class project. Our class officers were: President, Edward Wilson, Vice President, Leslie Kyser, Secretary, Joan Welch, Treasurer, Nancy Butler. Our advisors in our Junioryear were Miss MacClenthen and Mr. Bex. As a class project we sold magazines and published the school paper. We also sponsored the junior prom and a chicken sup- per. New classmates were Muriel Brownell and Albert Aylesworth. Our class officers were: Presi- dent,Nancy Butler, Vice President,Donald Hullerg Secretary, Joan Welch, Treasurer, Patricia Hill. With the coming of September 1950 we each eagerly awaited our Senior-and last-year. Our class advisors were Miss Farrell and Mr. Maxwell. William Ostrowski, a Senior of the class of 1950, joined us to complete his English course. From September until March we dreamed of the days of our Senior trip, which we all enjoyed over Easter vacation. During the early part of the year we studied our lines for our class play, 'Who Killed Aunt Caroline? Other activities were our chick- en supper, the Senior Ball, and finally Class Night and graduation. Our class officers were: Presi- dent, Patricia Hill, Vice President, Donald Hullerg Secretary, Arlie Billington, Treasurer, Wallace Gayring. Now, with many memories of school and our youthful days, we leave our Alma Mater. We wish to thank all our teachers, advisors, and friends who have made these years so memorable. We also wish each of the succeeding classes success and prosperity. J.M.w. SENICR TRIP SENIOR TRIP Golly, wasn't it fun? 'l wish we could do it again. These were the words spoken in Sen- ior homeroom on April 2, 1951. Yes, the Senior trip of the Class of 1951 was over but it would never be forgotten. Early Saturday morning, March 24, nineteen eager Seniors, Mrs. Huller, Mrs. Werching and Mr. Maxwell gathered at Minoa High School. Here we boarded a school bus and went straight to the New York Central Station. We left at 6:48 a.m. on the Lakeshore Limited for New York City, and after an enjoyable six hour ride we arrived at Grand Central Station. From here we quickly trans- ferred to the Hotel Victoria. After lunch we left for a four hour guided sight seeing tour of upper and lower Manhattan, in- cluding Chinatown, the Bowery, Wall Street and the Cathedral of Saint John the Divine. That even- ing we visited the world famous Radio City Music Hall, where we saw a beautiful Easter Pageant. After 'eight hours' sleep, early Sunday morning we left for church with the Catholics attend- ing St. Patrick's Cathedral and the Protestants the Marble Collegiate Church. During the afternoon we visited the Statue of Liberty and saw the new United Nations Building with its thousands of windows. The next morning was left open for shopping. Three Seniors visited the Rockefeller Center Plaza and Observation Roof for a wonderful view of the city. At 1:30 p.m. we left for Washington, D.C. We arrived there at 5:30 and transferred to the Lee House. Tuesday morning we left for a tour of the Bureau of Printing and Engraving. All the paper money used in the United States is made here. Visitors see the actual printing from galleries on each floor. From here we walked to the Washington monument. Several of the more ambitious Sen- iors climbed the eight hundred ninety-eight steps to the top. Next we visited the National Gallery of Art where we saw more than one thousand paintings and pieces of sculpture. One of the most famous paintings we saw was 'The Madonna' by Raphael. Bright and early Wednesday morning we visited the Rock Creek Zoo where we saw all types of animals, birds and reptiles. Leaving the zoo we went to the Franciscan Monastery, which is one of the most impressive sights in Washington. After lunch we visited the United States Capitol and saw the Senate and House Chambers, the Rotunda and Statuary Hall, which contains a statue of an outstanding historical figure from each state. Thursday was our last day in Washington. At nine a.m. we left for a tour of the Smithsonian Institute. Here we saw many things of interest including samples of all types of military uniforms, antique furniture and dishes, famous airplanes and old fashioned dresses. After this we were con- ducted through the F. B. l. building, laboratories and shooting gallery. That afternoon we stopped at the Lincoln Memorial. Here we saw the great statue of Lincoln seated in thought. On one wall beside the figure is inscribed the Gettysburg Address --on the other the speech Lincoln made at his Second Inaugural. Leaving here we went on to Arlington National Cemetery, which is the resting place of many military heroes and unknown soldiers. Here we saw the Lee Mansion and the majestic memorial ampitheatre. We were also fortunate enough to see the changing of the guard at the Tomb of the Unknown Soldier. Mount Vernon was our next stop. This estate, which was once the home of George Washing- ton, has been remarkably preserved and- the fumishings of each room completely restored. We also visited Alexandria, Virginia, where we saw Christ Church, where Washington worshipped, the Ford Theatre, and the historic Carlyle House. On our way back to the station we passed by the Washington National Airport. After travel- ing all night we arrived back in Syracuse at 5:15 Friday morning. We were a very tired, dilapidated group of Seniors, but we wouldn't have missed it for anything. Besides all this we'll never forget the times we got lost, the boys' shirts with fifteen differ- ent colors, and the fun in our rooms when we were supposedly sleeping. There isn't enough space to tell you all about our trip. We can only say that it was wonderful and we'll never forget it. P.A.H. 8: T.E.D.

Joe Gorgoni Vice President ........... Judy Carney Secretary .................. Mary Vona Treasurer ......... ...... R ita Kippley Our initial activity for the current school year was the class paper which has been published monthly. The first issue was put out without a name because we decided to hold a contest among our subscribers to select an appropriate one. Anita Knowlton's entry 'Minoa Trumpeter, was cho- sen as the best. For her prize, she received a free copy each month. The magazine sale netted us a profit of S2l5.83. Dana Wells was the most successful sales- man with Slll.l5. Dana and the following members of our class received Merit Awards for good work: Janet Brownell, Judy Carney, Charles Witt, Stanley Nash, Lucy Steele, and Len Ring. The Junior Class Chicken Supper was a big success with a net gain of Sl38.00. The class owes much credit to our mothers who worked so hard to make such a fine supper. The big Junior dance of the year was called the Harvest Hoedown.' There was round and square dancing to the lively music of a good band. Judy Carney and Jerry Carhart were chosen as 'Farmer' and 'Farmerette,' and their attendants were Janet Brownell and Len Ring. The decora- tions in the auditorium helped greatly to effect the warm friendly spirit of the harvest season. Another highlight of the year was the final Junior Social Hour. During intermission, an ama- teur hour was offered as the entertainment part of the program.

Bovs' sPoR'rs The Minoa High School football team was very successful this year as 'they again went through their schedule undefeated. Their winning streak has now been extended to 22 straight games. Since the midseason point in 1943, Minoa's football teams have compiled a record of 39 wins while dropping but one game. This was a very close game with Manlius. . The team scored 232 points compared to 93 points for their opponents. This is an average of 33.17 points per game against 13.3 points per game for the opposition. Gene Vona led the scoring with 97 points while Edward Sutfin was second with 46. Minoa met Jordan, the Western champion, at Griffin Field for the championship game. The game was played under very adverse weather conditions. Jordan displayed a very good brand of football and was ahead much of the way. But Minoa's team was not to be denied. They scored a touchdown with a minute to go and won by a score of 31 to 24. The scoring for the year went as follows: Minoa Opp. 30 Lafayette 00 46 Manl ius 6 40 Jamesvil le 20 39 Tully I8 28 Fabius I2 18 Onondaga Central 13 The Minoa basketball team also had a good season. They were second only to Manlius and had a record of fourteen wins and six losses for the season. 944 points were scored in their favor as opposed to 810 for the opponents. The team thus averaged 47.2 points per game while holding their opponents to 40.5 points. , The scoring for the games was as follows: Minoa Opp. 51 Fabius 45 45 Lafayette 52 53 Jamesville 42 49 Tully 42 34 Manlius 47 55 Fabius 35 56 Onondaga Central 35 62 Lafayette 44 49 Jamesville 34 51 Tully 52 lovertimei 36 Manlius 38 46 Onondaga Central 37 52 Split Rock 29 lnon-leaguei 47 Fayetteville 31 lnon-league, 50 Split Rock 41 lsectionali 45 Onondaga Central 38 lsectionali 54 Jamesville 44 fsectionali 38 Elbridge 49 fsectionali 46 Jamesville 31 fplayoffi 30 Manlius 44 fplayoffl The Jayvee team also deserves mention here. They went through their season undefeated and racked up sixteen wins. They were finally beaten by a very tall Solvay team in a game which decided the county championship. The baseball season was slow getting under way because of weather conditions. The team tried hard to better itself over the team of a year ago. Their schedule included games with Central Square, Manlius, Fabius, Jamesville, Onondaga Central, Tully, and Lafayette. R. R. T. GIRLS' SPORTS FRONT ROW, left to right: N. Butler, M. Vona, J.

The summer vacation was over, And the school year had just begung First we went out for soccerg We played hard -- but had lots of fun. Cheerleading tryouts came next -- oh bliss! Of course, we tried extra hard for this. The result --legs and backs so sore, We could hardly climb up the stairs any more! Volleyball came in the month of Novemberg The faculty game we hate to remember. We served and spiked and vollied that ball And finally won a game or two after all. The G.A.A. Bake Sale was a success, But they're selling stationery nevertheless. The girls started another sport this year, We've a lot to learn about bowling, I fear. We plunged into basketball with our usual zestg With a gift for loosing we seemed to be blest. We bounced on the tramp without any spills, The mats and springboard gave us plenty of thrills. Spring and badminton arrived at last We swung, hit, or missed -- as the birdie flew past. Do we play? Oh, you bet! The question is -- will we get the ball over the net? With bats and balls, we're out for fun, As round the diamond we all run. Now, the end of four short years draws near, But we know these memories we'll always hold dear. G. F. B. I I G. A. A.
