Throughout this entire annual, we have striven to carry out an Indian themeg we thought this theme to be appropriate because of the richness of Indian lore and names which the Mohawk Valley retains. We fully hope, too, that the 1954 MOHICAN will remain as a lasting memento of the Class of '54 to all its readers in the years to come, and that this book will please you just as much then as it does now. ffff! 0 f-I5 0 Y W7 f ir 'fx pr 0 ,f ' 3-- f' ' 41, rn 1 . 1 gl N Um fflmcz 77ZcLz'ez . , MOHAWK CENTRAL SCHCOI. mn 5555? 119515, 'Tin JONES TABLE a EOREWORD DEDICATION AND APPRECIATION MESSAGES FROM MR.

MA RTI N z4,0,Mecc'alc'aa As we are about to leave our Alma Mater, the Class of '54 can look back over the four years of high school and fully realize the importance of each advisor's role in developing the initiative of our class. One of the most important roles was played by Mr. Lundy, our junior class advisor. From our first junior activity to our last, Mr. Lundy was always there when we needed him, guiding us over the pitfalls. As we passed into the senior year, his help did not cease, for he became our guidance director. Mr. Lundy, over the past two years, has given us the benefit of his experience as well as many hours of his time. We are glad to have this opportunity to thank him now for all that he has done for us, individually and as a class advisor. Dedcbalffaa The 1954 yearbook is dedicated to Mr. Martin, our senior advisor. His patience and sense of humor have brightened the most troubled phases of our most important year. He has indeed, a wise and an understanding heart. MR. LUNDY BOARD OF EDUCATION Mr. Earl Brown, Mr. Rankin, Mr. Welch, Mr. Mann, Mr. Lewis BOARD OF EDUCATION The Board of Education, a group that receives little credit or publicity, has contributed much time and consideration for the benefit of the students in Mohawk Central. The Class of 1954 wishes to express its deepest appreciation for the time, energy, and unselfish effort that members of the Board have put forth in behalf of the best interests of the students of Mohawk Central School. Mr. Rankin's Message We are justly proud of the accomplishments of the Class of 1954. You as a group have been blessed with more than average talent, better than average parents, and we hope above average training. We sincerely believe you have the background and the tools to assume roles of leadership and influence in this and other communities of our nation if you will but continue to keep above thc modern philosophy of getting by as easily as possible. We only hope you will strive to do your best, always keeping before you the thought, It is wretched taste to be gratified with mediocrity when excellence is within your reach. HAROLD J. RANKIN Supervising Principal MR. WARREN MR. RANKIN Mr. Warren's Message Our sincere congratulations to each and every one of you as you complete your courses at Mohawk Central School. We have enjoyed working with all of you and we are very proud of your accomplishments. Always remember to do your BEST in any task that you undertake. When the job is then completed you can sit back and look it over with a feeling of satisfaction that you did not let yourself or anyone else down. EDGAR W.

FULLER BESSIE J. FULLER No one can ever fully or adequately express the value of kindness, tolerance, patience, loyalty, love, for these are immeasurable virtues. Likewise, no one could begin to express the value to a community of one who has served loyally, tolerantly, faithfully, excellently for 37 years. We can humbly and graciously say, This com- munity owes Miss Fuller a debt it can never pay. For 37 years she has been a major factor in the education of our young peopleg for 24 years she has directed and led our elementary department. Someone has said, He who leads best makes the least noise. This author surely described Miss Fuller, for in her quiet and unassuming manner she has constantly and directly influenced our educational program. Most of us fear and resist change, but here was one who was always ready and willing to revamp her methods and ideas and yet one who carefully and wisely pracf ticed the agefold adage, 'LNever be the first to jump at new ideas nor the last to hold to the old. It is indeed with deep regret that we see her leave our system, for no one is held in higher esteem among us, and yet we must rejoice with her as she looks back over a successful and useful career. We sincerely hope she will enjoy life in the future as much as we know she has enjoyed serving this community and our children. STILL REMEMBERED MIKE CATLIN Gone but not forgotten . . . that's a thought running through many a senior's mind in connection with the death of one of their classmates, Mike Catlin. Yes, gone are all the familiar pranks in Mrs. Congilaro's homeroom . . . the tacks on the seats, the misplaced books Mike had in his possession fjust by coincidence, of coursej, and all the jokes popped by this prankster upon the teacher's departure from the room. Mike was always one who spent most of his time filling out passes to this teacher and that and then never getting them signed by Mrs. Congilaro. Outside of being the clown of the class, Mike had a heart of gold. You'd always see him doing his share, whether it be taking his turn at the checkfroom during basketball games, dragging in coke cases for the refreshment committee at dances, or lending a helping hand on the cleanfup committee at the class functions. No matter what he did, he did it with a smile or joke. Since Mike's death, the homerooms of the Class of '54 have been just a little more silent. Perhaps Mike's classmates have been waiting for the door to open, and a blackfhaired, impish guy to come bobbing in. It's that way with all of Mike's classmates . . . the silent reverence, the silent tribute given to a wonderful classmate and a genuine pal. Yes, the Class of '54 offers this page as a memoriam to Michael Catlin, who, to the Class of '54, is Nor DEAD, BUT JUST AWAY. fdldfly , . or THE cl.Ass or 1954 In 1941, through the haze of Indian summer, toddled a tribe of small Mohicans on their way to kindergarten. Amateurs though they were, they managed to organize a real gone rhythm band. Even at this early age, they showed promise of becoming one of the most outstanding classes in the history of Mohawk Central School. Our first six years were marked by brief and sometimes bitter encounters with readinl, writin', and 'rithmeticg but better things were yet to come as we entered the seventh grade. I Among our memories of junior High are the sting of Prof's rubber hose, the trip to Albany, ringing the bell at the old Indian Castle Church, the championship basketball team, the thrill of the Sweetheart Ball, and the nowfamusing experiences we went through in Mrs. Dickson's math classes. From exalted eighth graders, we suddenly became lowly freshmen in the fall of 1950. We were not only the new additions to the high school, it was also the first year for Mr. Robert Green, our class advisor. Mr. Green had as much imagination and foresight as he had stature. With his aid, we inaugurated many new projects which have since became traditions at Mohawk High. Among these were orchestra dances, the ParentfGuardian Club, and the March of Dimes Family Night, for which Mohawk is now famous. During our sophomore year, we concentrated on increasing our treasury through numerous dances and successful bake sales. We also profited by organizing a cloakroom at games and dances. In the fall of 1952, football was in full swing, and with it the hot dog concession which we operated. Still later that fall, we had the thrill of picking out our class rings. Spring came, and with it plans for the junior Prom. Although we started our preparations months in advance, we had to work under a handicap because we were not able to start decorating the gym until two days before the big night. When the night did arrive, everything was perfect and the prom was one that no one will forget. Then, through no fault of jour own, we became seniors and undertook all the trials and tribulations which this last year held in store for us. Again, money became our primary goal. To raise money, we sold Christmas cards, bracelets and tie pins. The problem of financing the yearbook arose, and to earn money for that project, we sponsored a Christmas Ball. It was a grand success . . . even if we did lose a few paltry dollars! Nevertheless, plans for the yearbook had to continue. Another first was planned for the students of Mohawk . . . padded covers on all yearbooks. Even if our primary goal was still to increase our class treasury, the March of Dimes could not be neglected. Two upper class homerooms joined forces for a bakefonforder bake sale fanother first j thereby raising over a hundred dollars. Now, the papooses of thirteen years ago have finished our grade and high school education and will go on to accomplish bigger and, we hope, better things. We have learned, both in the classroom and through practical experience, the value of the allfaround education we have received at Mohawk Central School. 1 I 12 LJ X Ig-ings.: N C .F A - ' .

They held their first council in the music room, discussed plans for the coming year, and elected the following ofiicers: President, Glenn Merrick, VicefPresident, Bill Gardner, Treasurer, Dan Chrisman, Librarian, David Lockwood. Weekly practices followed so that by the time the Christmas moon was upon them, they were ready to present a Christmas program at a special assembly, and later went to entertain at the Old Ladies' Home. Only a short time later, the chief warriors and squaws participated in a county concert, which was held in Ilion. As spring brought warm weather, it also brought a desire to be outside where they could enjoy the gifts of Mother Nature, but the Mohican tribe had longer and additional rehearsals for the preparation of the NYSSMA festival, May 14. A rating of A was achieved. After a successful season, under the direction of Miss jasmine Hull, the choir made its last appearance at graduation, thus end four moons of song fests for the older tribal members. BOYS' QUARTET After making their debut on the March of Dimes Show, these chief warriors have been singing barbershop harmony all over the Mohawk Valley. Their personality, plus talent, has made them one of the most talkedfabout quartets around the valley. Miss jasmine Hull, director, will have to find new warriors to replace the three senior boys who are leaving. With all the lastfminute school work to do, the quartet had additional rehearsals in preparation for the Music Festival, held May 14, at which they received an A rating. BOYS' CHORUS This year for the first time, the tribe warriors participated in an allfmale choir, under the direction of Miss Jasmine Hull. Although they have not made any public appearance, we are sure they enjoyed singing together at their weekly meetings. GIRLS' CHOIR The choir of squaws, under the baton of Miss Jasmine Hull, presented two programs at Christmas. One, at the Old Ladies' Home, the other, at the annual tribe assembly. At the beginning of the season the squaws elected the following ofiicers: President, Emilie Lynch, Treasurer, Johanna Kroll, Librarian, Shirley Van Valkenburg. The squaws held their councils twice a week, but as the spring moon shown over the valley, they found that luncheon and evening rehearsals were needed in preparation for the Spring Festival, May 14. They received an A rating for their efforts. GIRLS' TRIO A revival of an old tribal custom brought the trio of squaws to the Mohican scene. Their first appearance at the school Christmas program started a chain of charity performances around the Mohawk Valley. Their singing and dancing routine was greatly enjoyed at the March of Dimes Show. As spring rolled around, they too, started long rehearsals for their entry in the Music Festival where they achieved a B rating. Much credit is given to Miss Jasmine Hull, who has guided the squaws' activities this year. BAND After the regular procedure of enrollment, the Senior Band, under the guidance of C. Laurie Snyder, elected the following ofiicers: President, Mary Musella, VicefPresident, Leland Gage, Treasurer, Kenneth Palmer, Librarian, Donald Eggleston. As football season rolled around, the band, attired in its brilliant tribal colors, furnished music at all League home games. During the cold winter months the band offered several selections at noon hour programs. A few members of the band participated in the Herkimer County Concert, held at Ilion. As the snow melted, and the signs of spring appeared, you could hear the band practicing for the annual Spring Concert, May 24. Also in the month of May the band prepared to march in the Decoration Day Parade. Cn top of all these activities, the band had the hardest task, playing host to the schools participating in the NYSSMA Festival. DANCE BAND Under the direction of Mr. Don Paulson, the dance band furnished music for dancing at the Cheerleaders' Dance, and the Christmas Party sponsored by the Recreation Center. After the bas' ketball game with Little Falls, they furnished music for a victory dance. With their musical backing, they helped make the March of Dimes Show a success. During the year the Music Department presented several noon-hour programs in which the dance band participated. l 42 MIXED CHOIR Front Row-D. Scouten, M. Musella, Schell, H. Hassett, G. Merrick, W.

The 1954 MOHICAN staff has strived to do their utmost in compos ing a book worthy of everyone. There have been delays and confusion, setbacks and disappointments, but we have learned that worth- while things do not come easily. Although our names may not be remembered in the years to come, we hope our efforts have made the 1954 MOHICAN memorable. Editors . . . Literary Editors . . Photography Editors .

Those elected were: President, Edward Tibbitsg VicefPresident, Richard Stowellg and SecretaryfTreasurer, Angela Cushman. Mr. Warren is Executive Council Advisor. This year the Council has tackled many problems, both large and small. Its chief aim has been to improve our school. A few of the projects which the Council has sponsored this year are: the welcoming committee, the assembly programs, the taking of school pictures, a Tricks or Treats for the Korean Cam' paign, a Santa Claus Anonymous Campaign, a very successful March of Dimes Drive, and a Friendship Dance. This year the Council has presented the school with shrubbery and a flagpole for the school lawn. For the first time, the Mohawk Executive Council participated in the Central New York Associa' tion of Student Councils Convention which met in Herkimer. The Mohawk delegates brought back many ideas for improving our Council and school. The Executive Council completed the year by planning the preparation of the Student Guide for next year's students. 49 NATIONAL HONOR SOCIETY First Row-M. Nicolette, H. Rockwell, M. Sweet, A.

NATIONAL HONOR SOCIETY Members of the National Honor Society are selected by the faculty on the basis of Scholarship, Leadership, Character, and Service. New members are inducted each spring and are given certificates. However, the first year of membership is a trial period. During that time, the student should maintain or, better still, improve the qualities upon which his selection was based. If he does so, he is tapped again the following May and becomes a fullffledged member of the chapter. On May 26, 1954, the N. H. S. members inducted members into the newly' organized National Junior Honor Society. The following day, high school National Honor Society tapping ceremony took place, followed by the traditional luncheon for new members and their parents. U.N. GROUP H. Rockwell, Mr. Thornton, A.

UNITED NATIONS GROUP Winners of the United Nations contest and a trip to New York were determined after the completion of the three competitive tests and the third marking period. Oneffourth of the mark was determined by a news testg the second, a test on the United States Presidentsg the third, the United Nations test, and the fourth, the averages of the three marking periods. The thirteen lucky seniors arrived at Grand Central Station to begin a wondrous, threefday stay in the magic city of New York. From the 102nd floor of the Empire State Building, they received a birds'f eye view of the whole island of Manhattan. The Easter pageant at the Radio City Music Hall was the highlight of the first evening. On the second day, they tried to get their faces on the Dave Garroway showg then they proceeded to Radio City and took a guided tour through the five buildings. Their tour through the United Nations Building and a session of the Trusteeship Council took place that afternoon. Chinatown and the Bowery were visited that evening. The next morning they visited the Statue of Liberty and Wall Street, the financial section of New York. A visit to the Museum of Natural History rounded out their day. This trip to New York . . . the greatest tourist attraction in the world . . . would be a won' derful adventure for underclassmen. We hope future seniors will take advantage of the opportunity for a really funfpacked Easter vacation. F. F. A. Front Row-L. Hunt, D. Myers, F. Markwardt, H. Reinhardt, C. Sommer, P. Aloisio, W.

FUTURE FARMERS OF AMERICA The Future Farmers of America, under the guidance of Mr. Hubbell, has in some of its members received remarkable recognition as was reported at the annual banquet. The following are some of the activities and awards achieved by the F. F. A. during this year's program. The council of the F. F. A. sent its representatives to a big powfwow, a poultry and cattle judging contest at Morrisville. Ron Backus and William Springer received a cup, the highest honor that New York State awards for poultry judging. At commencement last year, the following awards were given by the Mohawk branch of the Oneida National Bank: Five dollar dairy award to Lynn Backus, Five dollar bee award to Ronald Backus, Five dollar crop award to Fred Markwardt. In addition to these awards, a fifty dollar cattle award was given to Joseph Schwasnick by the Oneida'Herkimer County Bankers' Association. The F. F. A. should be congratulated on entries this year to the Empire Farmer. This year there were four candidates for this degree, the greatest in Mohawk's history. The F. F. A. should be praised for its job in planting the shrubs around the school, making the school grounds harmonize with the new school. The F. F. A. is a worthfwhile organization and should be praised for its achievements. It is not only a school club, but a club which contributes men to the profession that is the backbone of the nation. 52 F.

The next activity planned by the club was a basketball game between the faculty and the students. The proceeds went to the March of Dimes. Movies sponsored by the Homemaking Club and Science Club throughout the year were very successful. The 'club has sold rings, pins, and sweaters to the club members this school year. They also have sold brownies and coffee to the teachers after school nights. The club has had a very successful year, and to bring it to a climax, the club plans a Mother and Daughter Banquet to be held in june.

They try students accused of misbehaving in the rooms and halls. If convicted, the student is barred from activities for one week. The Student Council also discusses and plans the field trips and other extra-f curricular activities sponsored by the junior High. .IUNIOR HIGH NATIONAL HONOR SOCIETY The installation of the four officers of the Mohawk Junior High National Honor Society took place in the school auditorium. Rev. Benes ofliciated at the ceremony which installed Barbara Rankin, President, Reece Pence, Vicefpresidentg Joyce Getman, Secretaryg and Mary Morton, Treasurer. The four oflicers were elected from a group of 12 members of the society, which was organized last May under the supervision of Mrs. Dickson and Mrs. Miller. The membership is based on service, citizenship, leadership, and scholarship. The students accepted into the society have to be tapped every year. The ceremony is very solemn and impressive. Rev. Benes pointed up the fact that these members were selected because they excel in scholarship, leadership, character, and service. He noted that the first require' ment of scholarship is an inquiring mind and cited George Washington Carver as an example of a Negro citizen who rendered great service to society as a result of his research to promote industry in the South. He emphasized that leadership is dependent upon a personality that is based upon knowledge, confidence, and understanding. Character is built by good thought and noble effort as exemplified by President Eisenhower. He reminded the members that scholarship is useless unless activated through service, the key that unlocks the door to happiness and successful living. SAFTEY PATROL The Safety Patrol has made great strides this year in helping to maintain law and order around school. The adviser, Mr. Smith, is very proud of the work that has been done by the 35 to 40 members. Last year they helped a little at the music festival, but this year they helped much more. All the teachers hope the Safety Patrol will continue next year, and since they are doing such a good job it is very probable that they will. ENTERTAINMENT GROUP F1o'ntR0w+D.W:1rren, L. Sweet, M.

Highlights of the year included a trip to the fall conference at New Hartford, special observance of Book Week, bulletin board displays each week, and regular presentation of new books. SCIENCE CLUB The Science Club is a new organization whose primary purpose is to give the students with an interest in science a chance to do something they enjoy in this field. The students prepare research, organize materials, build and present the projects entirely on their own. There isn't any limit to the amount of time they can have to complete the project. The purpose is to give the person preparing the project a wider knowledge on the subject so that he will be able to tell others about it. Monthly experiments or demonstrations are given voluntarily by the members. The club now has an enrollment of 13 members. The oflicers are: Fred Brown, President, Josephine Barretta, Vicefpresidentg jean Lubey, SecretaryfTreasurer. The members chose a name for the club referred to as TTT, OT, EOE which means Test Tube Twirlers Of The Echoes Cf Einstein. Our aims are to stimulate our interest and to get others interested in the field of science and to enter science conferences around the country for the exchange of ideas. CAMERA CLUB The Mohawk Camera Club presents an opportunity for any student interested in the field of photography to increase his knowledge of photographic techniques. Mr. Baldwin, the advisor, instructs the members and helps them obtain skill in developing roll film, printing positive pictures, and other darkroom processes.

As a result, the Mohicans were crowned top tribe in the Iroquois Confederacy. This honor was bestowed upon Mohawk after it collected 257 points while losing only 57 to rival tribes. Fiftyfthree points were obtained when our ancient rival crossed the river to invade our camp. The Mohican Warriors gave Herkimer the worst scalping they have tasted in many moons. The most important battle, the one which was to decide top tribe or tribes in the league, was the last campaign of the season, Mohawk defended its village against Norwich. By reaching deep into their medicine bag, the Mohicans were able to produce much better medicine than the Norwich Warriors. The Mohawk braves leaving the camp fire in june are Ed Eysaman, Ed Tibbits, Leo Hartmann, Dick Stowell, Frank Gilbert, Lynn Backus, Ken Palmer, and Dick Baylor. The Mohican Yearbook Council extends its heartiest congratulations to the football clan and hopes to see more like it in the moons to come. JUNIOR VARSITY FOOTBALL The Junior Varsity Football team had a very successful season as they compiled a 5fO record by beating Ilion twice, NVest Winfield twice, and Whitesboro once. Much of this credit goes to Mr. Pushkar, the coach, and to the spirit of the team. Here was found another example of excellent teamwork. With their somewhat limited experience it has been impossible to pick out one or two stars. With this background, the Junior Varsity Football squad should not find it too hard to step into the Varsity's shoes and give Mohawk another football championship. FRESHMAN FOOTBALL The Freshman football team compiled an impressive 6 win, 1 tie, record. Not one football game played by the junior members of the Mohican Warriors was lost during the '54 season. As this team will be the backbone of the J.V. team next season, there is an exceptionally good possibility of having another top junior Varsity team in '55. Results: Mohawk Opponents Mohawk Opponents 13 Richfield 0 13 Ilion 7 6 Ilion 6 28 Little Falls 0 13 Whitesboro 6 33 Herkimer 6 27 Frankfort 13 JUNIOR HIGH FOOTBALL The Mohawk junior High football team was organized for the first time in 1953. Under the supervision of Mr. Trois and Mr. Lincoln, the 18 members of the team learned the fundamentals needed to play the game scientifically and effectively. The team learned many of the same plays that the senior high school football teams use. The junior High Athletic Association bought the equipment used by the team and is planning to buy more in the coming year. Although the team had only four games with other schools during the season, the boys improved greatly with each game as they learned more about the strategy of the plays. The team was set up to prepare the Junior High boys for their years of football in high school. Although the team was successful, it was entirely on an experimental basis, but the Junior High now hopes to carry it on in the future.

Both the football and basketball seasons were marked with many highfspirited pep rallies and displays of enthusiasm. New to the scene were the song leaders who combined their knowledge of rhythm with an abundance of pep, vitality, and eifervescence. Attired in outfits which were appropriate to the songleaders' role, the group gained enviable popularity, not only in Mohawk Central School, but throughout every school in the valley. During the entire course of the year the two squads worked together in perfect harmony, both on and off the court or field. They combined efforts, added wit, and made every appearance one of startling proportions. It is imperative, therefore, that their efforts and time spent should be lauded . . . so it's hats off to you, girls, for a tremendous job, well done! JUNIOR HIGH CHEERLEADERS The Junior High cheerleaders who were elected last fall by three faculty members have been seen cheering at all the junior High basketball games in their new orange and black uniforms provided by junior High A. A. and Mothers' Clubs. Norma Jean Holyschuh was named head cheerleader. The squad, with the help of their faculty advisor, Mrs. Martha Miller, and their mascot, Peggy Ann Tolpa, cheered their teams on to victories or grieved over their losses throughout the season. J. V.

The overall record was 15f4, second best in Mohawk's history. Mohawk scored a total of 1,050 points as compared to 881 points scored against them. One hundred forty of the points were captured during tournament play, the Mohicans beat Holland Patent and Utica Free Academy, but were beaten by New Hartford, the Section 3 champions. By juggling the lineup every two or three games, Coach Thornton kept a winning and spirited team before the eyes of the Mohawk tribe. As a result, Dave Polley was selected to be on the Iroquois League Coaches' AllfStar Team, while Ed Eysaman and Harvey Smith placed on the Second AllfStar Team. Ed Eysaman, Dave Polley, Harvey Smith, Will Van Evera, Leo Hartmann, Tom Stephens, and Dick Stowell have played their last basketball game with Mohawkg this means that Dan Chrisman will be the only veteran returning next year. But with the material coming up from the Junior Varsity, Mohawk can be sure of watching another championship team in action next season.

Basketball Squad ended their 1953f54 season with an impressive and surprising 8f2 record which was equal to the Varsity's and good enough for second place in the Iroquois Leagueg Norwich was Hrst with a 9f1 record. Our team had an overall record of 14f2, losing only to Norwich and Oneonta, but avenged these defeats by trouncing these clubs 46f36, 46f37, respectively, when they again met.

However, from there on, underclassmen of the Mohawk tribe were scalped for Five straight losses. The begin' ning of the season showed that the Frosh had what it takes. Most of this team will be playing on the Junior Varsity next season, so another outstanding season for the J. V. can be expected.

The boys started practicing in the middle part of November at which time both coaches picked the boys they thought were capable of playing good basketball. The teams consisted of a varsity and a jayvee team which were under the management of Mr. Smith and Mr. Tolpa. Both coaches agreed that playing Junior High basketball trains the boys for playing high school ball. The varsity record of 11f4 was good, although 3 of the 4 losses were in league play. The com' petition was heavy with Annunciation of Ilion coming out on top with a spotless record. Mohawk tied with West Canada for second place. JUNIOR HIGH J. V. BASKETBALL The J. V. squad also enjoyed a successful season. Their record of 10 and 1 was the best in league play. The squad consisted of a group of scrappers who fought to win. They are going to be a big help to Junior High next year. 75 JR. HIGH BASKETBALL Kneeling--M. McCumher, R. Reckcweg. Licziri, R. Ray, R. Merrill, Mr. Tolpn. Back Row-T. Crouch Wriglit, H. Brown, C.

In the Iroquois League wrestling tournament, five Indians represented the Mohican Tribe-Bill Crim, Ed Barney, Harold Reinhardt, Dick Baylor and Skip Hoke, Hoke won the league championship in his weight class. As a result, Mohawk finished second in the tournament. With the experience gained this season the other squads in the Iroquois League had better beware of the Mohawk wrestling team in '55.

RIFLE CLUB AND TEAM The Mohawk High School junior Rifle Club, sponsored by the N.R.A., made its debut in high school athletics two years ago. From a lowly beginning, with no club rifles, only three guns borrowed from the Boy Scout Council, and the instructor's rifle, the club has developed until it has six armyfsurplus rifles given by the N.R.A. The Rifle Club is divided into two parts, the club itself and the rifle team. The rifle club is composed of thirtyfeight members directed by a slate of ofhcers composed of Ronald Backus, presif dent, Fred Markwardt, vicefpresidentg Frederick Brown, secretary, Robert Tibbits, treasurerg joseph Kenyon, executive oihcer. Mr. C. Laurie Snyder is team coach, and Mr. Don Paulson, club instructor. In the club, everyone is working for awards given by the N.R.A. Awards and certificates are given for the following: Profmarksman, ten targets with 2Ox5O, marksman, 251450, marksman first class, 3Ox5Og sharpshooter, 35x5O, nine additional bars for sharpshooter, expert rifleman and distinguf ished rifleman. When a shooter ranks as distinguished rifleman, he is given a onefyear subscription to National Rifleman Magazine and a year's membership in the N.R.A. The N.R.A. annually sponsors a club shoot, with the winner receiving an N.R.A. medal. The winner of the club shoot this year was Robert Tibbits. Felton Brothers Hardware Store in Herkimer gave a trophy for the highest score. This was won by Thomas Fallowsf If a member has not pref viously had a hunting license and is 14 when he attains the rank of sharpshooter, he can automatically get a license by exhibiting the sharpshooter certificate to any issuing officer. The rifle team, which competes against other schools, is picked by qualifying in a shootfoff previous to the match. The high five or ten then make up the team. The team record for the year is two wins over Holland Patent and two losses to Norwich. The teams ranked fourth in the sectionals. 80 VOLLEYBALL Kneeling-J. Pizzo, K. Palmer, W. Boepple. Standing-F.

In the League Tournament, the Mohicans retained their fighting spirit by defeating Herkimer f15f7j C15f9j, Ilion f15f12j f15f9j, and Norwich f15f11J f15f9j. By outfmaneuvering their opponents they captured first place in the tournament. The veterans Cecil Stephens, Roger Mason, and john Pizzo will be carrying on next year to try to beat or tie this year's record. S C O R E S Mohawlq Opponents Mohawk Opponents 3 Herkimer 2 2 Oneonta 3 2 Norwich 3 5 Little Falls 0 3 Ilion 2 BOWLING During the season, five of Mohawk's braves went deep into Iroquois territory to wage war on the other five members of the league. Of these battles, the Mohicans took two scalps while losing three. This earned twenty points for the Trophy. By their seasonal record dark clouds of uncertainty formed over their chances of bringing into their longhouse the Bowling Tournament Championship. But the warriors fought bravely as they massacred the other tribes by collecting the most points. This victory gave Mohawk the right to send two braves to the doubles tournament at Clinton. joe Varin and Glenn Merrick, the honored two, gave Mohawk the honor of third place against other tribes in this section. As this year's team is leaving in June, it may be hard for Mr. Martin to find a team to keep the Mohicans at the head of the Council ire.

Badminton is a minor sport, but because of its importance in competition for the All' Sports Trophy, it must not be neglected The team, composed of Darrel Lubey, Bill Gardner, Don Cook, and Ralph Thomes, compiled a 3f2 record in league competition, losing only to Norwich and Oneonta. It is expected that these juniors will be back next year to collect the honors as champs in the Iroquois League. TABLE TENNIS The Mohican Table Tennis team, being surpassed by Norwich and Oneonta, rated third place in league standing. During their regular season, the boys came out fourth, but went into the iinal with their hopes high. With the sportsmanflike conduct of which Mohicans are proud, the team had sec' ond place sewn up when the tournament ended. This moved them from fourth place into third in the league. As only one of the players is leaving in june, a championship team is expected to repre- sent Mohawk next season. TENNIS R. Wright, C. Sheldon, D. Polley, Kinney, H. Smith, D.

New managers are elected by the current membership each year, they rate candidates according to ability and leadership and thereby select as managers girls whom they believe to be best qualified. One of the MACS' main projects this year will be a banquet, to be held on June 24, for all girls receiving sports awards. GIRLS' BOWLING Front Row-P. Eberlein, Jean Pugh, M. Nicolette, R. Quayle, C.

In fact, the girls' sports program has increased to the extent that a girls' sports banquet will be held in late June in honor of all girls receiving sports awards. Another first this year will be the inscription of the name of the outstanding girl in sports in the Freshman, Sophomore, and junior class on a bronze plaque, which will reside in the trophy case. We girls feel very fortunate that our sports program has been extended to this point. Starting this year's program, soccer and field hockey came into vision as the Hrst sports of the year. The soccer team, under the management of Betty Ann Hughes, was off to an encouraging start by tieing Ilion and later beating Frankfort and Herkif mer. The program ended with a playday at Mohawk where Norwich, Oneonta, Little Falls, Herkimer, Ilion, and Mohawk participated. Here, Mohawk ended its successful season by winning the playday. Field hockey, supervised by Manager Gloria Graves, was first introduced last year and has become a favorite with many. Even though this was their first year of real competition, the team put up an excellent fight at every game, as was demonstrated at the playday. A little later in the season came one of the main indoor sports, volleyball. The team, under Manager Johanna Kroll, won over Herkimer, Little Falls, and Frankfort and came in third place in the playday at Little Falls. Bowling started the winter season, with Mrs. Hilyard as coach and Carolyn Grimmer as manager. The team won one victory after another and came out on top in the tournament. They even beat the boys' bowling team. As winter came into view, basketball began under its skillful manager, Madeline Nicolette. As we lacked the guidance of our coach, Miss Keefe, the first part of the season, the team was off to a slow start. The girls made up for this handicap though, and beat such teams as Herkimer and Van Hornesville. Recreational games were next to appear on the program. They consisted of bad- minton, ping pong, and shuffleboard with the chief purpose being individual recreation. Only a few fortunate ones were picked to go to the playday at Norwich, where Mohawk captured firstfplace honors, this made Manager Emilie Lynch very proud. In the last weeks of April, the girls began bouncing around on the trampoline under Manager Lonnie Casey's leadership. Looking ahead, we see archery, tennis and the national pastime, softball, yet to come. But the girls are all hoping for the same success that has carried them through past sports. Yes, we are sure the girls agree: this is the best year ever. GIRLS' VOLLEYBALL Front Row-H. Hassett, B. Santmire, D. Welch, D. Morey, Kroll, P. Sweet, A. Barretta, Barretta, A. Spoerer.
