Collins, we find the qualities of an outstanding leader and a skilled co- ordinator of school activities. The graduating class of 1963 seeks to express our appreciation and gratitude by dedicat- ing this yearbook to a distinguished principal whose devo- tion and untiring efforts have made possible our advance- ment. Mr. Collins has completed courses in Albany College of Pharmacy, Union College, Albany State Teachers' Col- lege, Rensselaer Polytechnic Institute, and Oswego Teach- ers College. As a result, he is the possessor of a Ph.C., a B.S. in chemistry, and an M.S. in administration. He began his career in the Schenectady School District as a teacher of mathematics and science and in 1958 succeeded in becoming Technical Department Chairman of Mont Pleas- ant. His sound judgment and cooperation have greatly in- spired the efforts of the faculty to make repeated forward strides in handling the problems of a large comprehensive school. Mr. Collins is known as having broadened'the oppor- tunities available in general education without significantly detracting from special offerings. The school year of 1961-1962 marked the appointment of Mr. Collins as principal of Mont Pleasant. Since then, he has been forever improving and advancing the system of education. With sincere appreciation we designate Joseph F. Collins as making our Pleasant Seasons a sturdy foundation in the preparation for our future. Mr. Collins autographs a Montaneer during Yearbook Night. Our principal takes time out from a busy schedule to pose on the athletic field, as part of the newly-erected lighting system towers in the background. Mr. Collins talks with guests at the Senior Ball. Last year one ot the many social functions Mr. Collins attended was the Yearbook Banquet. 5 September 6 . . 6 Mr. Andrew Rossetti, our Assistant Principal, is momentarily disturbed from his guidance work.

Mrs. Olga Ahnert, dons a smile during her tedious, every day routine. Administration: Guides to Progress The administration of Mont Pleasant serves the faculty in its effort to confront each student with an educational challenge according to his individual abilities. The admin- istration, therefore, is mainly responsible for the develop- ment of a diversified curriculum and techniques and meth- ods with which these programs may be presented to the students. Furthermore, this organization is obligated to maintain the excellent condition of the physical plant of our school and its surroundings through the utilization of custodial force. Through the years a co-curricular program has been instituted to present each student with the opportunity to participate in a club, organization or in sports and exhibit such individual qualities as leadership. 8 Miss Isabel Jarvis, Counselor Mr. John Gregory, Counselor Mr. Richard Grinned, Counselor Guidance: A Continuing Service The Guidance Department at Mont Pleasant is set up in such a way as to be of the most use to students,’’ out-of-school youths, and anyone else who may have need of its facilities. Whenever a pupil feels that he needs to obtain some help or discuss a problem, the counselors are always available. In addition to the counselors, there are also now available at Mont Pleasant a social worker and a psychologist. To help guide the students, the counse- lors have personal interviews which are sup- plemented by tests to determine the stu- dents' abilities and vocational preferences. Guidance does not stop its usefulness for a pupil when he graduates. Any time a graduate needs an evaluation or letters of recommendation to enter college or obtain a job, he may ask the Guidance Department to supply them. This year the Guidance Department is set up in a new way: Each counselor is re- sponsible for one-fourth of each class. Secretary Mr. Curter Quick, Counselor Miss Dorothy Barnowski instructs freshmen as to the procedure used for registra- tion at M.P.H.S. 9 Mr. C. Harold McKee Miss Florence Karlen Retirements: Leaving After Many We would like to take time out to express our grati- tude to those teachers who are retiring from Mont Pleasant this June. Writing this page is one of our most difficult tasks, mainly because it is always difficult to say good-bye. Miss Karlen, Mr. McKee, and Miss Walsh have been with us for many years at Mont Pleasant, and have become close friends to the many students who have walked through Mont Pleasant's doors. Now it is time for these teachers to leave through these same doors. Because merely saying Thank-you would never dem- onstrate our true appreciation and warm feelings toward these generous people, we feel that maybe this panegyric will more fully express our sentiments. Mr. McKee has been a member of Mont Pleasant's faculty for thirty-two years. During this time, he has taught technical machine shop practice for eight periods a day. His outside interests include hunting, fishing, boating and photography. In past years, many senior graduation pic- tures have been taken by him. Among Mr. McKee's alma maters are Oswego State College, Albany State Teachers’ College, and Union Col- lege. Because Mr. McKee has devoted so very much time to his work here at Mont Pleasant, we hope that in the future he will have more leisure for personal interests. Miss Karlen, the chairman of the Business Educatior Department for the past five years, has graduated from Plattsburg Normal School, secured her Master's Degree in Business Education at State Teachers' College, Albany, and has done extra graduate work at Columbia University, University of Wisconsin, and Syracuse University. Before coming to Mont Pleasant when it opened in 1931, Miss Karlen taught in the former Schenectady High School. She has seen and marveled at the yearly growth of Mont Pleasant from a new building without an athletic field, fences, trees, or the art and paintings, into the fine school it is today. While she has taught in our Business Department for over thirty years, her contributions have not been confined to teaching. Miss Karlen was dean of several classes, presi- dent of the Faculty Club, and a member of the Athletic Council. She is currently the sponsor of the Commercial Club. Besides serving our school, Miss Karlen has also re- ceived considerable recognition in the community because she is a charter member and officer of the Schenectady Federation of Teachers' Association and has also served as representative on the Liaison Committee. Adding to her already busy schedule is her work as a member of the A.A.U.W., the National Business Teachers' Association, and the Catholic Book Associates. She commented on her retirement by saying, I shall miss all my good friends of the faculty and I hope that all 10 Miss Margaret Walsh Pleasant Seasons my pupils of these past forty years will continue to have success and happiness. A teacher in Schenectady for over twenty-five years, Miss Margaret Walsh began at McKinley Junior High School and, in 1937, joined the Mont Pleasant staff. Since then, she has served five times as a class dean and in 1955 became the chairman of our English Department. Always eager to learn and participate, Miss Walsh was a consultant in the State Education Department Regents Examinations, a charter member of the Schenectady Teachers Federation, and an officer of the English Advisory Council. A student of Latin, Greek, and English, Miss Walsh graduated B.A. and M.A. from Albany State Teachers' College. In addi- tion, she completed graduate work at Columbia University, Fordham University, the University of Colorado, and the University of Wisconsin. Miss Walsh's ability for leadership was complemented by her sympathetic and understanding nature. Known for her pleasantness, cooperation, and ladylike manner, she was liked and respected by both students and faculty. The teachers that were under Miss Walsh remember her especially as being a person who was never too busy to take time out and was always there to offer aid and guid- ance. Her students will always carry with them the bits of wisdom and lessons toward good living that they took out of her class. The Business Club officers of 1958 discuss a future activity as Miss Karlen smiles approvingly. Latin Club of 1956 poses as Mr. McKee snaps the shutter. Mis, Walsh, do you remember when you led a discussion of the language Arts Committee in 1949? II Mr. O’Conner explains some objectives of drawing to Maureen Travers and Dave Gezuwslci. Art: Where Students Create Mr. William O'Connor Mr. John Albrezzi The guiding philosophy of the Art Department is to give its students a chance to develop their skills and crea- tive abilities. To this end, teachers pre- sent not exotic articles for reproduction, but those from everyday life. Therefore the students' awareness and sensitivity of their environment are developed to a degree of acuteness. Among the many projects intro- duced into the art curriculum are oil painting, ceramics, and basic art paint- ing. Poster and advertising design are two more subjects offered by the Art Department. Linda Boiarslti, Barbara Togg, Gary Butkus, Barbara Kizyzak. Rita Truesdale, and Linda Francisco create ceramic animals and free forms using the Pinch-Pot method. 12 c. Mr. Michael Mrs. Helen Mr. Charles Pinchuk Cummings von Nostitz Business: The Foundation of America As an important part of the school system, the Business Education Depart- ment is designed for students who wish to enter the business field. These stu- dents can specialize in any one of three areas: clerical, secretarial, or coopera- tive retailing. Classes in business ma- chines and other subjects valuable for the job of clerk are included in the cleri- cal course. For students who wish to become secretaries, there is the secre- tarial course which offers such subjects as typing, shorthand, and bookkeeping. Cooperative retailing is designed for students with salesmanship ability. Mrs. Grinnell offers help to typing students.

Mr. Jack Hickey Mr. William Washington Mr. Robert Campbell Mrs. Mary Grassfield Citizenship Education: Exploring the Pathway of Knowledge. As an objective, our History De- partment has strived to bring about a better understanding of our heritage, of the country's achievement, and of the problems which the country faces. In studying the history of the world, pupils gain an understanding of the slow, but positive, progress of mankind. The difficulties which are encountered by mankind and the way in which the ob- stacles were overcome offer valuable lessons to pupils who will inherit even greater citizenship responsibilities. Included in the History Department is a strong unit of teachers who are al- ways ready to be of assistance to the pupils. These teachers lead the students in their exploration of knowledge as it meanders from past to present. 14 Mrs. Elaine Heidenstrom Mrs. Sandra McCarroll A Mr. John van Schaick English: A Challenge for Everyone Mrs. Felthousen's period 6 English class listens intently as she discusses a book of essays. Individual abilities are considered in the formulation of the English Department cur- riculum. Although regular drill is presented on all facets of the language, an especial effort is made to offer challenge to the various groups of students. Much has been done to spark up our English curriculum. There are now annual trips to the Stratford Festival in Connecti- cut and a contemporary play in New York City which are offered as extra bonuses to those wishing to take advantage of them. Besides the regular English classes there is offered a series of one semester courses giving the student great opportunities to garner new experiences. These courses in- clude speech, dramatics, creative writing, and reading class. These four electives are an aid to those who aspire to go to college. The results of the efforts of the English Department are witnessed through the school play; the Watchtower, our paper; the Montaneer, our yearbook; and Ebenwyck, our literary magazine. Greg Button orates as Mr. Kottke records the speech on tape. 15 English: Learning to Express Ourselves A few pointers on good reading are passed on by Mrs. Putnam to Theresa Marquez..

By being able to understand them- selves, they will be able to understand others more effectively. Since work is done informally in these classes, students acquire self discipline. Because there are no special groupings, people of varied abilities are able to work together. In Foods students are not taught exclusively the prepara- tion of the meal itself, but also how to be a capable home- maker. The knowledge of the organization of a kitchen and a familiarity with the operation of equipment will help a home- maker to budget her time. An acquaintance with basic nutri- tion will enable her to prepare well-balanced meals which provide her family with all the vitamins, minerals, and proteins they need. This year a new course being offered is Social Psychology. Here young people delve into personality and behavior pat- terns. Pupils read widely and informal discussions are held so that the students can share their ideas. They have an oppor- tunity to observe youngsters which may help them to decide if they would like to work with children in the careers they pursue later in life. Mrs. Dorcas Rindfleisch Mrs. Ruth Kraemer Potterns are being chosen for stylish new outfits that Pat Vosburgh. Andrea DeFilippo. Mary Theresa Carr and Pat Welch will make for themselves. Arnee Damberg irons out an apron she will use during class. Marrietta Donadio and JoAnn DiCocco locate storage space for utensils in our neat, modern Home Economics room. 17 Mr. Joseph O'Neil ' Mr. Samuel Hamilton Mr. William Deyo Mr. Henry discusses the operation of the crank shaft with M’chael Polnerelli, William Meinhold, and P;o Fiorini. Industrial Arts: An Aid to Industry A boy participating in the Indus- trial Arts Department at Mont Pleasant learns to appreciate, explore and experi- ment with the methods, problems and materials of today's industrial world. The varied courses, the machinery, and the many tools used in this department help give experience to the boys en- rolled. The first four ten-week periods are used to instruct the student in each of the following courses: woodworking, metal shop, airplane shop and blueprint reading. In the aviation engine mechani- cal classes, the boys learn the funda- mentals of aircraft engines, the theory of flight, and the construction and ap- preciation of airplanes. The cooperative industrial classes of this department make up another very important section. In these classes, the boys make a com- prehensive study of the occupational opportunities in our community. Safety reminders outside the Industrial Arts Department are touched up by Wayne Harper. 18 o A A ) Chairman— Mr. Anthony Mrs. Jacqueline Mr. Gerald Mr. Robert Ludwig Coppola Lefkowitz Goldstein Language: Journey to a Foreign Land Those 575' pupils presently enrolled in the foreign language classes at Mont Pleasant are being taught with the aid of modern methods and facilities. This new approach to language, called audio-lingual, attempts to make the language come alive for the students. Most of the emphasis through the four years is on speaking and understanding the spoken word. To facilitate prac- tice in both of these phases, the students have labora- tory periods and access to phonograph records which may be taken home. In addition, those pupils taking either Spanish, French, or German have available to them literature from their respective countries. Other language classes available include Russian and Latin. Any of these languages are offered to any student who wishes to pursue them. This year there has been an increase of nearly a hundred pupils; and as a result, three new teachers have been added to the department staff. Mr. Coppola looks on as Raymond Sefcovic, Paul Kuta. and Al Gallo concentrate in language lab. Mrs. Toby Clyman Mrs. Charlotte Koblenz Mrs. Ruth Family Joe Massaroni. Isabella Miceli. and Mrs. Lefkowitz work on Spanish nouns. Mr. Edward Sherley Mr. Belford Perkins. Math and Technical Departments Mr. George Van Husen Suprunowicz Cheryl McDougall presents the proof of a geometric theorem as Mr. Caldaro supervises her work. Math: The Basis for Advancement. Mathematics, known as the Language of Science, is the most vital of all sciences. With- out knowledge of this seemingly complex sub- ject, little or no scientific progress would have been made since the time of the Egyptians. Of course, the mathematics offered at Mont Pleasant is much more advanced than any- thing the Egyptians ever used. A wide variety of courses, ranging from general math to cal- culus, are offered to the students according to their desires and abilities. Through the excellent staff of teachers in the Mathematics Depart- ment, fundamentals and concepts are conveyed to the young men and women which will aid them in their later life. Mont Pleasant has kept up with the chang- ing events in the field of mathematics by provid- ing an accelerated course which begins in the stu- dents' sophomore year. These students remain to- gether for their three years here and are taught by the same teacher each year. By the termina- tion of their senior year, they have completed all courses from geometry to calculus. Assisting Glenn Juckett in demonstrating one of the varied uses of the compass are Tina Harper and Richard Santelli. 20 Music: Unity Through Music The Mont Pleasant Music Department offers all interested students an opportunity to become skillfully versed in the wide-ranging field of music. As a very popular component of this department, the choir offers all participants a chance to develop an interest in various phases of choral singing and a better understanding of vocal composition. Each year the group sings at many school assemblies, puts on a winter concert, and performs with other choirs in the annual Music for Unity program. Two parallel branches of our Music Department are the orchestra and the band. The orchestra consists of those students whose talents are put to work by their playing of fine music. Exposed to a wider field of study, the members of the band explore a course ranging from classical compositions to semi-popular productions. An outdoor concert each spring displays the outstanding capabilities of the band. Participation in the winter concert and the home football games in the fall are also on this group's agenda. An outside activity supervised by the Music De- partment is the Symphonic Singers. This activity is com- posed of students participating in at least one of the many available music courses and whose singing abilities are far above mediocrity. Their performances include a variety of difficult compositions extending from Negro spirituals to those pertaining to Broadway shows. Thanks to the highly devoted faculty and the fine equipment used in the department, education in the field of music is forever advancing. In accordance with this, the performances provided for us by our fellow students are continually enlarging the cultural enjoy- ments available in Mont Pleasant.

Virginia Rossetti and Sandra Branic sing the folk song Great God Almighty during choir class. 21 Physical Education: Preparation for the Future Penny Jordon demonstrates her nimbleness on the trampoline. The Kennedy Administration's physical fit- ness program, which was inaugurated into our gym curriculum last year, has now become a very important part of our physical education classes. The object of this program is to improve the American youth's physical condition which, according to recent reports, has been gradually deteriorating. Under the close guidance of Miss Carr, Mrs. Makofski and Mrs. Martin, the girls’ gym classes take physical fitness tests each fall and spring. During inclement weather the girls par- ticipate in different indoor sports to develop their poise and coordination. The boys, under the guidance of Mr. Vacca, Mr. Rieg and Mr. Mulvaney, also participate in the fitness tests. During the winter the boys work on the ap- paratus and play basketball to keep themselves in shape. Affiliated with our Physical Education Pro- gram are two courses—health, which is required for both boys and girls; and driver education, which is an optional twenty week course. Driver Ed. is a popular and safe way for our pupils to learn the technique of becoming a cautious and conscientious driver.

Science and Technical Departments Mr. Joseph Rizzo Mr. Bruno Caldaro Science: Research for Progress in the Future Mont Pleasant's Science Department is designed to help students gain a better understanding of our modern, scientific age. The chemistry course instructs pupils in the composition of substances and the pro- cesses by which these substances are formed. In the recently modernized chemistry laboratory, the students are provided with all the essentials needed to apply their knowledge gained from the teachers and the up-to- date text books. The biology courses deal in the study of plants and animals, their habits, their physical characteristics, their general mode of life, their origin and distribution, and their relationships to one another. Labs in these classes give a pupil practice with instruments such as the micro- scope and with a few dissecting tools. Through the physics classes, students are able to study the phases and forms of inanimate matter. This study includes the theories of heat, light, sound, and mechanics. Accordingly, the lab sessions give students training in utilizing subject matter obtained in classes. In all of these science classes, those students who show special interest are encouraged to work on in- dividual, supervised projects of their choice. Knowledge obtained through class and individual work will serve as a foundation for advanced learning toward progress in the future.

Faye Bowles smiles approvingly as she listens to Mr. Stone and Hans Nlehus discuss mineral specimens. 24 Mrs. Christine Stuart Special Education: Knowledge Through Experience The Department of Special Education is an improve- ment to our school and an asset to our community as the students are prepared for good citizenship. Subjects of- fered to these thirty-five students include mathematics, social studies, English and occupational and physical ed- ucation. For the boys there is metal and wood-working shop, while the girls take sewing, cooking, and arts and crafts. So that they will be prepared for employment after graduation, pupils are taught ways of choosing, securing, and holding a job. The curriculum is set up so that the abilities of the student are strengthened, and their best characteristics are brought out. Since there are differences among the individuals it is necessary to find a way to meet their variations. Adjustments have been devised to make this program adequate to meet the requirements of everyone. Students enrolled in this Special Education class become aware of their abilities, both physical and mental. They are aided in planning for future employ- ment and for accepting their place in society. Barbara Ives. Diana Rougier and John Rossi practice what M ss Warboys teaches about the use of the dictionary. 25 Mrs. Speidel works individually with Mary Ellen Maietta and Rose Mary Petrazulla on budgeting. Technical: Engineers in the Making Mr. Chester M. Clarke Due to the complexity of technical courses, most students are required to participate in an eight-period day, which includes between two and four technical subjects. These technical subjects are designed for the serious-minded, college-bound student. Equipped with a technical diploma a graduate has more than a solid foundation for a future in engineering. He may elect a training or apprenticeship program in the technical branches of industry; or he may enroll in a science, math- ematics, or engineering program in college. Our techni- cal department has been used as a model for establish- ing courses in many schools both in this country and also in foreign lands. The technical laboratories of Mont Pleasant have some of the most up-to-date equipment on the market today. This apparatus provides the students with experi- ence plus a chance to apply the theories learned in class. Recently more job opportunities have arisen for women with technical knowledge. Because of this Mr. Zizzi is encouraging girls to matriculate. As of now there are six girls enrolled in technical courses, with more ex- pected in future years.

Beginning Their High School Career With Fiery Enthusiasm Mr. Anthony Coppola—Freshman Class Doan Twice a month a group of our leading tenth graders, the Freshman Executive Com- mittee, meets to plan and discuss the vari- ous activities they will take part in. To ex- press every homeroom's opinions, a repre- sentative from each is selected. Financed by class dues, the Committee plans the tradi- tional Freshman Christmas Party. This year by decorating they transformed Christmas Fantasy into a tinsel and pine bough por- trayal. Since the Freshmen have no class offi- cers in their first year at Mont Pleasant, the Committee is responsible for the Freshman school social life. Hoping to prove themselves a worthy Mont Pleasant class, one winter Friday the members of the Committee sponsored a suc- cessful dance, inviting the entire student body. Matching their dean's fiery enthusiasm, the Committee has put the right freshman step forward for a successful life at Mont Pleasant. 30 HR 114 Top Row: L Cummings, M. Woznack. R. Fields, D. Wolfe.

All the officers worked tirelessly, keeping our class organized and trying to give us a year that we shall never forget. There are certain special occasions that will un- doubtedly live in our memories. For instance, who will forget our Junior Prom and the crowning of the queen or the Christmas party with the skits put on by our own classmates. Our officers and execu- tive committee have succeeded in benefiting the junior class and in making this year one that we will be able to look back upon with gratification. Mr. J.

Art, an Expression of Mood Have you ever noticed the unique stage scen- ery that is used during the school play? This is de- signed and painted by the Art Club as a service to the school. This club, composed of students who show an interest and an ability in art, renders serv- ices not only to Mont Pleasant, but also to the com- munity as well. Their community service includes making favors for such organizations as the Veterans Hospital, the Red Cross and other local civic groups. Under the supervision of a new sponsor, Mr. O'Connor, the club will continue its annual trip of artistic interest at the close of the school year. This trip will follow a spring art program which will be conducted for the entertainment of the entire student body. Art Club Officers—Standing: Mr. W. O’Connor, adviser: H. Niehus. presi- dent; P.

Serving the School, Community Nation, and World Our high school Red Cross is an organ- ization which benefits not only the school but the community and the world as well. Our School Chest program helps school children in disaster areas or refugee camps. These packages are filled with various school, recreational and health supplies. Besides sup- plying the needs of people and showing an interest and concern for them, these chests help promote an understanding between our country and theirs. At intervals of three years, the students of Mont Pleasant fill such a chest, thereby creating an opportu- nity for everybody to participate in this program. During November, students may join the Red Cross by donating to the organiza- tion through their homerooms, thereby re- ceiving a Red Cross membership card and pin. Every month there is a meeting at the chapter house of representatives from all the area schools, during which the activities of each council are discussed and plans are made for future projects. Included at these meetings is the presentation of movies illus- trating the Red Cross aid. Occasionally, the exchange students from the various schools speak of the Red Cross progress in their country and therefore give the members a more vivid and realistic account. Although this club has been successful it can remain so only through the support of the school and the community. Red Cross Officers— M. Wilson, vice president: D. Zeglen, president: Mr. L.

Vive le bleu, blanc, et rouge The French Honor Society provides not only for the teaching of a language, but also for a better understanding of French culture and civilization through exhibits, guest speakers, performing artists, and a recorded broadcast during each meeting. France and its language be- come more interesting and realistic to the Society members. By promoting high scholarship by student tutorship and offering various awards, the Society provides a goal for which the students should work. Another facility for the members is the Luncheon Qub program. Once a week each member listens and speaks the French language at a meeting of one of the five luncheon clubs. By sponsoring a dance and selling toy clowns at Christmas, the French Honor Society donates to the Language Department, and each year inyites e guest speaker to Mont Pleasant. This year Pierre Viala spoke at such a session. Guests from nearby high schools and colleges attehded, and afterward a reception was held. At the end of each year, the Society has a supper meeting. 50 Top Row: M. Trovers. M. Tucceri, B. Craft. D. Willloms. B. Sherman. C. Brown. D. Ramundo. Bottom Row: R. Puglese. C. Stelmach. J.

To obtain a true view of the business world join the Commercial Club. Through monthly meetings, members of the secretarial course become acquaint- ed with many business procedures. The club, under the guidance of Miss Margaret Karlen, is designed to stimulate and promote interest in the business world while allowing members to become conversant with modern and progressive business methods. This club, however, offers more than just business talk among its members. The general meetings each month offer lots of chatter and fun, while recreation- al functions include an annual school dance and parties for new members. Through the collection of dues and the sale of candy, funds are obtained which are put toward a spring trip for the club's participants. To be eligible, a girl must be in the secretarial course, have at least a C average, and possess the desire to work for the group. 52 G.A.C.—Top Row: J. Califano. S. Neal, R. Caputo, V. Rossetti. C.

That brave, leaping, zig- zag run down a muddy center field brings cheers and pride and wild applause from our students — but who are the unknown, the tireless behind- the-scene-girls who provide the shakeroos for this wild ap- proval? Of course, our G.A. C.l Members of the Girl's Athletic Club, under the sponsorship of Miss Marcia Carr, work toward a higher school interest. Participating themselves in hockey, tennis, volleyball, or basketball, each season the members encour- age other girls to join after- school sports. Selling shak- eroos and booster pins not only stimulates school inter- est, but also serves to raise funds necessary for the pur- chase of girls' athletic awards.

Electricity, a Foundation for Their Future The members of the college preparatory technical electrical program gain experience in both D.C. and A.C. circuitry and machines, plus electronics. Through- out the agenda, theory is emphasized and every at- tempt is made to keep abreast of the dynamic tech- nology. Experiences in laboratory and theory sessions pro- vide a focal point for the utilization of math, science, and the communicative skills. In addition to its regular activities, the department also supervises the main- tenance of language lab equipment. Technical electrical has always been a haven for boys. Last year one girl was admitted to this exclusive group, and this year four more have gained member- ship. The technical staff, most of whom are graduate engineers, provide both vocational and college guid- ance to newcomers in this field. Technical Electric Girls—L. Dagostino. M. Carach. R. Finn, M.

Brain-Power — Our Greatest Resource Our National Honor Society was established to recognize the academic achievement and leadership of our students. To become eligible, a student must maintain a B average, participate in school and community ac- tivities, and display good citizenship. Students are selected as probationary members in the spring of their junior year. If they continue to meet the required qualifications they become perma- nent members in their senior year. The students to re- ceive this honor are chosen by a committee consisting of the principal, the assistant principal, the guidance counselors, the director of the co-curricular program, and Miss Nancy Wilson, the club's sponsor. A Promising Future for Education Designed to encourage an interest in teaching and a source of information, the Future Teachers of Amer- ica provides members with lectures, films, and first hand information about the teaching profession. In- cluded in the programs of most meetings are noted speakers in the field of education. The cadet teachers, organized as a supplement to F.T.A., is a group of girls who have demonstrated in- terest in teaching and assist elementary school teachers in the community. Each year these girls receive academic and activ- ity credits in addition to a token payment for this ex- citing and profitable experience. F.T.A.—Top Row: B. Sherman, president; B.

Keepers of the Gate at All Athletic Events Helping to conduct the many athletic events at Mont Pleasant requires an organization with extreme perseverance and stamina. The members of the Athletic Council display such qualifications when they skillfully control and sell tickets to crowds struggling to gain en- trance to the field of competition. This select group of junior and senior ticket-sellers apply themselves to the Science May Be Their Future It isn't unusual to pass by our science project room during the school year and see a Science Seminar mem- ber industriously working in the midst of tubes, vials, burners and other complicated apparatus. This busily engaged student might very well be preparing a dem- onstration for a science fair or merely conducting some experiment for his own benefit. Besides indulging in laboratory investigations, the club members participate in tours of local research centers and faithfully gather for a monthly meeting. During these sessions one mem- ber of the organization will volunteer to give a short talk on one field or topic of the science world. Occa- sionally a guest speaker will reside at one of the meet- ings. Because the members are chosen for their accom- plishments in science courses, most students plan to major in that field and thereby increase both their en- thusiasm and knowledge through their work in this or- ganization. management of the funds collected at these events. These funds are eventually used for the improvement of Mont Pleasant's athletic program. Under the supervi- sion of Mr. Makofski, the members of the Athletic Council may be seen working diligently as they sell tickets during our lunch hours as well as at the games.

A Future in Health June 1961 marks the organization date of our Future Nurses Club under the present supervision of Mrs. L. Trev- ett, our school nurse. Its members, consisting of 19 junior and senior girls, are those who are possibly interested in pursuing a career in the various fields of nursing. The Fu- ture Nurses are also concerned in promoting health in the community as well as in the school. This group meets twice each month for business matters, in addition to listening to lectures, viewing movies, and taking field trips to vari- ous hospitals. Including their annual dance, this year's agenda will provide for a club-sponsored sale of a health item similar to the one held last year. Future Nurses' Officers—C. Ferraro, president; J.

Glory Lends Them Strength Golden Spike Shoe Society, an international organ- ization. was formed for promising boys interested in track and cross country. This club's members, under the direction of Mr. Raymond Vacca, practice for and compete in meets all year round. In addition, the boys in this club operate the refreshment stand during home football games. The proceeds from this stand are used to purchase new equipment, to finance any trips they might take, and to pay for their annual banquet. By displaying good citizenship and by acting in a sportsman-like manner toward their opponents, the members of this society exemplify some of the best characteristics in athletes.

The Pen Is the Tongue of the Mind Each time we read our school newspaper, the Watchtower, how many of us realize the amount of work put into such an outstanding product? Tedious times and nerve-testing work haunt each and every member of the staff. Undoubtedly, the jobs of the editors and the literary staff members require an extreme amount of responsibility. Planning issues, assignments, schedules and checking the progress of the paper in general are common characteristics of the duties of the Watchtower members. Functioning as a central distribution agency, the advertising staff is con- cerned with making the paper a self-sufficient business. As salesmen to the stu- dent body, each Student Board representative has the task of selling the paper in his homeroom. Being a member of the Watchtower staff, either that of the literary or the advertising, is a great responsibility. We know they do an excellent job because we judge their merit by their finished product—a terrific newspaper. Russell Boisvert, photographer for the Watchtower, scrutinizes his latest photos. 60 S.

While do- ing special charity work and participating in community affairs, the girls learn to be- come better citizens. Outlined by Y.W.C.A. advisers, the year's general program is developed more fully by the members of our chapter. Money is raised through annual sales of dif- ferent articles, including can- dy and food. An annual mother-daughter banquet is held, as is a Christmas flower festival and a fashion show.

Bob Battaglino, Wiliiam Kulcan. Joseph DeFonce and James Lenihen prepare for the Bonfire before the Pleasant-Linton football game. Sponsored by the local Kiwanis, the Key Club is one of the most active service organizations in Mont Pleasant. Boys are selected for this organization in their freshman year on the basis of scholarship, leadership and the recom- mendations from their junior high school guidance counselors. Every year the Key Club offers one or more scholarships to worthy mem- bers of the senior class. Money for these scholarships is obtained from club- sponsored dances and from the annual shoe-shine campaign, by sponsoring a food drive during the Christmas season, the Key Club is able to distribute food to many needy families in the area. On Kiwanis Kids' Day members sell newspapers, the proceeds of which are used to aid local orphans and welfare children. Another popular club-sponsored activity is the annual bonfire the night before the Mont Pleasant-Linton football game. Our community and Mont Pleasant can be extremely proud of the Key Club and of the wonderful job they do.

Food and Film for Fulfillment Within Mont Pleasant, there are many students who sacrifice much time and en- ergy for the benefit of others. Such is the case of the projectionists and the cafeteria workers. Controlling and servicing all audio- visual equipment are the primary concerns of the projectionists. Under the guidance of Mr. Deyo, approximately forty boys are trained to deliver, operate and service such instruments as slide, film and opaque pro- jectors and their accessories. During the lunch hours, a persevering group of students work mostly behind the counter as they supply a variety of suste- nance to the hungry crowds. These workers prepare the cafeteria for the next day and keep it a clean place to eat in. Mont Pleasant reflects the thorough and excellent job done by these students. Our school is made a much better place to learn in because of them. 66 Cafeteria Workers—E. Hermance. T. Kiszkiel. P. Ronish. R. Harpp. Service Is Their Business Service is the main pur- pose of the Technical Service Club, which is under the di- rection of Mr. Samuel Ring- land. The most important serv- ices this group performs are to provide sound for all sports events, music for the school dances, to give tech- nical assistance at assemblies, and to do minor repair work on electrical equipment both in our school and in surround- ing schools. Unfortunately, these boys gain little recognition for their many services. Top Row: M. Maslanka, A. Gentile. R. DeSorbo, D. Gardocki. R. Vitale R. Croff. D. Crim. Mr. S. Ringland. adviser.

Music for Enjoyment Every day during 7th period, the ringing tones of a lonely trumpet and the rattling taps of an anxious drum echo through our corridors as the orchestra prepares to rehearse. This group consists of approximately twenty members directed by Mr. Theodore Takaroff. During these daily rehearsals the students develop a wide repertoire of selections from classi- cal music to songs from Broadway shows. These students are, therefore, prepared for their performances at the festival concerts, annual school concerts and commencement exercises. Orchestra__Top Row: Mr. T. Takaroff. P. Schermerhorn. C.

The Cabinet and Congress of Our School The student government of our school, the Student Board, is an organization constituted of two elected representatives from each homeroom. Among the more significant of this group's services are its work as a communication line between the school administration and the student body, and its sponsoring of assemblies. The body also serves the students by distributing season tickets, bus tickets, honor privilege cards, National Honor Society pins, and the Watchtower. The enjoyable music in the cafeteria during lunch and at dances is provided by the Student Board's Hi-Fi system. In addition, the recent remodeling of the second floor teachers' lounge in honor of Teacher Recog- nition Week was financed by this organization. The Student Board members aid the community by participating in such charitable drives as the Commu- nity Chest or the Children's Clothing Drive. Any visitors to our school are welcomed by a Student Board receptionist. Freshmen are greeted during freshman orientation and taken on guided tours directed by Board members. Most beneficial to our student body is the acquaintance of students with democratic ideals practiced by the Student Board, thereby training them for a future life as good citizens. Top Row: C.

Selling to the Students of Mont Pleasant Deca is another service organization at Mont Pleasant. It offers valuable experience to members of the retailing course. These students give up part of their day to work in the store. Members of Deca gain training in selling, arrang- ing stock and in setting up window displays. They also handle the sale of class rings and the arrangements for caps, gowns and flowers for graduation. Recently, the sale of potato chips has been re- sumed with great success. The student store, under the supervision of Mr. Green, was organized to offer an assortment of school supplies to our students at low cost, the proceeds of which are turned over to the Student Board for future use. O'Neill Fountain and Rita Truesdell assist Virginia Gravell in arranging a window in the student store. 70 Frank Byrnes shows a sweatshirt to Toni DeVito while Sharon Rocco looks on.

Challenge of the Great Outdoors Outdoor enthusiasts enjoy the secluded surroundings of nature's own little world. Stimulating the enthusiasm of many boys at Mont Pleasant is the rugged challenge of the great outdoors. Such a challenge is accepted by the participants of the Sportsmen's Club, which provides adequate activity in camping, hunt- ing and fishing. Serving as the head-guide, • Mr. Green assists the sportsmen with their annual activities. Ice-fishing, a turkey shoot and a spring trip spent roughing it for three days are some of the club-sponsored trips. Since ice-fishing demands withstanding the harsh winter weather at 5:30 a.m., the enthusiasm shared by the members is one to be admired. As one of the few organizations which meets at night, the Sportsmen's Club uses its time for showing, movies and for occasional speeches by noted personalities. The members still find time to swap tales about the one that got away. Such sessions prove to be the most entertaining part of the meeting. 72 Top Row: L. Pacelli. L Hoffman, E. Turchi, D. Waytho.

Marching to the Rhythm of School Spirit During seventh period the strains of such instruments as the clarinet, the drum and the piccolo pervade the halls. These are the familiar sounds of the Mont Pleasant High School Band. The many hours of rehearsal culminate when the leader waves his baton and strikes up the band. This fine group has enlivened numerous assemblies, pep rallies, and football games. Besides providing enjoyment for us, the band members have developed a greater appreciation of mu- sic and have increased their proficiency on their respective instruments. Mr. Adams and his band have certainly added something extra to our memorable seasons at Mont Pleasant. An audience gathers on the school l$wn attracted by the melodies of our band.

Students Opening the Doors of Literature Each student who has gone to our library for the first time cannot help but be amazed at its size and the efficiency with which it is operated. Because maintaining such a large library would be difficult for a small staff, Mont Pleasant students have volunteered their aid to form an organization for this purpose. The Library Club was the first group organized at Mont Pleasant. Since the club's inception, its members have devoted a minimum of one period a week to working in the library. Meetings, at which there are speakers and other entertainment, are held after school. From associ- ation with the work of this club, many of its mem- bers have decided to go into a field of library science. This work consists of responsibilities given to each student to shelve books and magazines, keep shelves in order, prepare books for use, check over- dues, and do limitless clerical tasks. These busy members, advised by Miss Clark and Miss Wilson, give a faculty tea during Book Week. 74 Library Club—Top Row: K. Petroske. B. Giusto, D. Casey. C. Ferraro Miss E. Ckark. adviser.

This task is performed by girls belonging to Moppettes—a service organization at Mont Pleasant composed of girls from each grade. In addition to that duty, the members sell mums for the Election-Day football game and have an oppor- tunity to enjoy themselves at their annual banquet in the spring. Being a Moppette gives a girl a chance to serve the school while belonging to a fine club. She gains a sense of responsibility in doing her assigned share of the work along with her sister club members. 76 77 J. Coppola, S. Kenyon, A. Gabriele. K. Jackson, J. Califano. M. Palombo, D.

They keep us pleasantly entertained while our team takes a break and prepares for a spectacular touch- down finish. The high- light of their perform- ances this year was at the MP-Linton game. During that half-time, our precision marchers joined those of Linton to present the Three- ring Circus — pat- terns formed coinci- dentally by the twirlers and the marchers. Fol- lowing this, the girls honored the bi-partisan audience with the ini- tials, alma mater, and pep song of both schools. 78 Raiderettes pinwheel around the field between the exciting halves of the Election Day Game.

Aftpr tedious practice sessions throughout the weeks, these girls skillfully lead the cheering crowds at football and basketball games. They also present traditional skits for yearly parties and pep rallies. Sponsored by Mrs. Carol Grinnell and Miss Sally Warboys, the two squads also assume the joint responsibility of organizing the annual All County Cheerleaders Ball. This year's ball was set to the theme Evening in Paris. It is apparent to us that Mont Pleasant has two of the most energetic and responsible cheering squads in the area.

A German Embassy in Mont Pleasant As you wander through the halls of Mont Pleasant early in the first se- mester, you might see a student passing from his classes dressed in the tradition- al German outfit worn in that European country. These students are being initiated into our German Club which was creat- ed for the purpose of promoting an ap- preciation of German culture. Under the supervision of Mr. Goldstein, the ad- viser, club members consisting of first, second, and third year German students sponsor an annual dance to obtain funds for future use.

Opening Night As the curtain rose this year, it sig- nified the beginning of the comical ren- aissance play, The Servant of Two Mas- ters. This play, written by Carlo Gol- doni, is a delightful comedy of the pre- dicament in which Truffaldino, the lead- ing character, becomes entangled when attempting to work secretly for two dif- ferent masters. The promising actors and actresses who comprise the characters of The Servant of Two Masters are better known as The Playbills. These hard-work- ing students continually strive for per- fection by rehearsing practically every day after school. The Playbills has a def- inite purpose for its existence, which is to improve each member's cultural un- derstanding of the arts and the theater. The Playbills perform under the direc- tion of Mr. Theodore Kottke. Workers behind the scenes: A. Tanno, M. Stevens. E. Becker. M. Maslanka. T. Sobeski D. Fleetgen, E. Dennis. S. Green. S. Sommers.

This year an introductory class was added to the associa- tion to present newcomers' with the fundamental dance rou- tines. Under the able leadership of Mrs. Barbara Makofski, both classes create new dance pat- terns to be exhibited in the pro- gram at the end of the year. In addition, an annual workshop is organized with Linton High School to exchange ideas. K. Szumiloski. G. Noro. C. Fisher. S. Green, C. DiMonte. S. Neel, Z. Lewis, L. Sounders, V. Rossetti, E.

All the choirs practice rewarded us when they performed at the winter concert and at the school's Christmas assembly during which they did a fine job of increasing our holiday spirit. Every year at Christmas- time the choir sings for either the Kiwanis Club or Rotary Club at Hotel Van Curler. This year they gave their performance for the Rotarians. When the holiday season was over, they began to work on a new reper- toire of songs to present at the Music for Unity program which is held in the spring. At this time our choir combines with that of Linton, under the capable leadership of Cleveland Howard, choir director. This year Mont Pleasant High School acted as host for the 1962 area All-State Music Festival. Over 350 students from thirty-two schools throughout New York State participated in this concert. In order to be chosen, our eighteen representatives first had to be recommended and then were selected by a designated committee. This year we were fortunate enough to have two pupils chosen to represent Mont Pleasant at the All-State Chorus, sponsored by the New York State School Music Association. These two students, Joan Marsh and Carol Pritchett, went to this meeting in December. In order to re- ceive this honor, the girls had to audition for two music teachers. Our choir has certainly done their job in promoting school spirit and providing entertainment throughout the past school year. The hard work of both the choir members and the director, Mr. Howard, has cer- tainly been appreciated and enjoyed by everyone who has heard their melodious sounds. Top Row: F. Leva, J. Jahnel, P.

Perhaps you've bumped into one of the office workers as she scur- ried down the hall to perform an errand. Not only do these girls rush from one section of the building to another on errands, but they also an- swer telephones, type letters and memos, and file everything from college bulletins to student's schedules for forty-six minutes a day. The office workers help to make our school function a little more efficiently and in return they receive activity credits and practice in the secretarial skills. Sometimes their duties run into quite a bit of work, but they all agree it's a lot of fun. Service to the Tune of a Telephone Top Row: A. Negro, J. Casino. D. Flaetgen. A. Partyka. Second Row: M.

Albrezzi, coordinator of the Montaneer. photography and art adviser: Miss E. Clark, senior adviser; Mrs. C. Grinnell advertising ad- viser: and Mrs. S. McCarroll. literary adviser. Team effort has been one of the main ingredi- ents of the 1963 Montaneer. It has been possible for a member of one of our staffs to ask a member of another staff to do a favor or to run an errand. We have even stopped students and teachers in the halls seeking information. Everyone has contributed to the yearbook. Entering freshmen usually feel that the yearbook is strictly for the seniors. We have tried to alter this feeling by inviting competent freshmen and juniors to join our literary and photography staffs. Besides preventing our book from being a senior book, we are developing talent for following years. Our new, larger office has contributed to our feeling of unity by .giving us one place in which we all can work. We all have found working on the yearbook to be more than a way to earn activity credits. We have gained journalistic experience and new friendships. Most people don't realize the work involved in putting out a good yearbook. Students who work on the Montaneer devote 20 or more hours in a single school quarter. Copy must be accurate and is often rewritten several times before it is fi- nally acceptable. We hope that our book will provide fond memories of Pleasant Seasons. 91 Dawn Smith.

Melodies of the Symphonies Ring in the Corridors The melodious sounds heard emanating from Room 301 Tues- day and Friday mornings are those of the talented Symphonic Singers. This select group of fifty students is chosen from different school music organizations. They are chosen on the basis of their musicianship, vocal ability and ability to read music rapidly. The Symphonic Singers perform at different civic groups and concerts, arid on local televi- sion programs as well as various school functions. If all fares well, this spring the Symphonic Sing- ers plan to add to the agenda some performances out of the state. This will naturally mean a well-earned reward for all the members of this excellent musi- cal organization. Kir. Howard intones a chord for T. Marquez. M. Brown. J. Marsh and J.

Class A Champs Many people were surprised this year as the underrated Mont Pleasant eleven defeated cross-town rival Linton with a score of 14 to 13. In the words of many city football en- thusiasts, it was the most thrilling rivalry game this city has ever seen. The Raiders upset some of the best teams this season. A 13 to 2 victory over White Plains, a 28 to 6 victory over Amsterdam, and 28 to 6 decision over Troy were the major victories in a 4 and 4 season. Among our losses were two heartbreakers: a 7 to 0 loss at Rome and a 20 to 19 loss at Albany. This last game caused us to split the possession of the Class-A cup with Lin- ton, since we both ended with a 3 and I season. The Raiders also dropped a 13 to 6 decision at Kingston and a 20 to 7 verdict at Gloversville. Our team was piloted by a fine quarterback, Frank Pid- geon. Ends Richard Santelli and Joe Massaroni and flanker- back, Billie Johnson, worked with Frank to help him complete a good percentage of his passes. Pidgeon earned the Union Star Player of the Game Trophy in the Mont Pleasant-Linton game with his fine offensive playing. Within the remaining twenty seconds of the game, Pidgeon completed a touch- down pass to Joe Massaroni and kicked the extra point which defeated Linton.

Defeat Came but Once Starting the season with a smash- ing 33 to 0 victory over Albany, our junior varsity football team followed up their success by defeating Amsterdam 19 to 6. The next to fall under our reign of terror was Gloversville where Rich- ard Pidgeon scored both touchdowns to bring us a 2 I to 0 success. On the Troy field, glory was ours for a 21 to 6 win. After having a record of suc- cessive wins we were finally whipped by Shaker 6 to 14. In a starting play, Mont Pleasant's left end, Mike Wos- nack, intercepted a pass and ran thir- ty yards for a touchdown. The game ended in our 8 to 0 victory. After this season's grueling work under Coach Grinnell's supervision, our team has the unofficial title of first in our league competition. Mike Woznack catches a pass for si points against Linton.

With Endurance and Speed This year's inexperienced cross country team managed to represent Mont Pleasant with an excellent seasonal performance. The varsity Red Raiders were supported by only four seniors: Phil Locci, Russell Place, Mike Melanson and Gayton Lawrence. The de- termined effort of juniors Tim Canell, Wil- liam Berger and Bill Grabicki gave firm sup- port to the squad. Even with this consid- erably young team, M.P. managed to take 9th in the Utica Run, 8th in the Grout Run, 9th in the St. John Run, 4th in the Chenan- go Valley Run, and 3rd in the Gibbons Run. In the sectionals, the boys captured a second place crown, yielding only to a strong Colonie team. Phil Locci led the varsity team by taking first place among the hill qualifiers. Coach Vacca feels that with a strong group of boys returning next year, Mont Pleasant's cross country team shall be well represented in area competition. 104 Phil Locci momentarily sets the pace for Varsity Grout Run.

Class Celebrations Reflect Mont Pleasant Christmas Spirit Christmas Fantasy, theme of the Senior Christmas Party, set the mood for this traditional event. Offering entertainment for the festive occasion were six of Santa's elves, instrumental soloists Ronald Greco on the accor- dion and Ralph DeSorbo on the saxophone, singing hillbillies Nancy Meyer and Kathy Hart, and pantomimist Pat Vano. Emceeing this pleasurable affair was Roger Carruthers. Music throughout the evening was provided by Bill Hyatt and Frank Leva on the electric guitars, and Allan Gentile on the drums. Nicola Ragucci and Lucretia Ma- chovic were co-chairmen. Entering the girls' gym on a wintry Thursday night, juniors had to duck beneath the Christmas cards and stock- ings hung gently with care on the paper fireplace covering the doorway. Walking through the hallway criss- crossed by green, red, and white streamers, the guests heard the music of Gordon Rickard on the saxophone, guitar players Bob Aldi and Frank Leva, and drummer Allan Gentile. A Christmas Wonderland, or the gym, took on the splendor of the brightly-trimmed Christmas tree and the gaiety of Santa Claus painted with his reindeer on a screen by the tree. ' Santa Claus Is Coming to Town, sang the Christmas Pixies, beginning the night's entertainment. As Pixies, the junior varsity cheerleaders danced and sang, captivating hearts young and old, as both students and faculty watched. Finally, Bob Battaglino, the master of ceremonies, brought on the long-awaited Santa Claus. (For those who know, it was really big Bill Wendell.) To cover the void of saddened silence after Santa left, the cheerleaders started the guests singing Christmas carols as Frank Solghan accompanied them on the piano. As the Freshman Christmas Party progressed, Tina Harper and Betsy Sefcovic appeared as the two most beau- tiful girls that side of Alaska. The appearance of Santa Claus (under the beard was Mr. Coppola, freshman class dean) was the highlight of the party. Sitting students on his knee, he asked them what they wanted for Christmas, ho-ho-ho-ed a little, passed out candy canes, and left to fly off in his sleigh. 108 Ron Greco demonstrates his versatility on the accordion at the senior Flowing strains of Stardust issue from the saxophone of soloist Ralph DeSorbo. party.

The hoopsters gained recognition for their amazing hustling ability which weakened opponents and pleased the crowds. Even though the varsity ended the Class A season with a 2 and 6 record, a fine representation by Mont Pleasant was always present. The first win came from a 63-51 triumph over Troy, which was soon taken back by Troy's winning 56-66. We also split a pair of games with Albany 50-48, 45-66. Amsterdam posted a 31-61 victory the first time, but one of the most unusual and interesting games in the history of area basketball was the Amster- dam conflict. Coach Suprunowicz introduced a freeze strategy which produced many scoreless intervals. A final score gave the opponents 40 points to our 28. The annual rivalry games with Linton accounted for two of our defeats in which we fell 54-83 and 46-79. The season began with a 47-51 defeat at the hands of Wahconah but was soon revenged by a victory of 71-58. Mohonasen bowed to the Raiders 66-52 and 62-54 while Gloversville was outplayed by a score of 86-56. Schalmont outdid the quintet in the last period and triumphed by 54-56. Mont Pleasant bested Kingston twice in a row by scores of 57-43 and 64-41. The varsity had first paced its way to a 67-56 victory over Bishop Gibbons, but the latter squeezed by with a 56-57 decision in the last game of the season. By completing an even season, the newly experienced Red Raiders gave an excellent performance and are ex- pected to be the team to watch next year. Perryman taps ball out of Linton players' reach.

Rookie Dribblers Starting the season with a 54-40 win over Wah- conah High, our junior varsity team chalked up a record of 13 wins and 5 losses. Though Troy out- did us by a slim margin of 48-43, our team came to life on Wahconah’s court for a smashing 52-27 victory, and went on to defeat Mohonasen 69-61. Playing two straight games with Kingston, we won 52-49, and on our own court 54-43. Even in defeat, our boys played hard to score 49 points against Linton's 71. Tense spectators watched Albany beat us in a close game of 41-42. Until Troy won with 46 points to our 45, our team lined up a string of victories over Amsterdam (63-52), Bishop Gibbons (43-42), Schalmont (43-38), and Mohonasen (52-46). After defeating Gloversville 61-41, we lost our second game to Linton 54-72. Coach John Castelli led the team on to beat Albany again in a 74-65 game. Playing in Class A competition, we defeated Amsterdam 76-69. Our last triumph came with a 51-45 win over Bishop Gibbons.

Grunt and Groaners Under the able coaching of Lawrence Mul- vaney, the Mont Pleasant Matmen clinched the Class A Championship having an overall record of 10 wins and 2 losses. In the words of Coach Mulvaney, Considering the inexperience of many of the starters, the boys did an excellent job. I have seen much improvement in the in- dividuals as well as the group itself. Gayton Lawrence, a co-captain of the MP matmen, re- ceived honors as sectional champion. Russell Place, also a co-captain, placed second in the sectionals, as did Paul Roenish and Ralph Moore. Mont Pleasant victories were Saratoga (43-15), South Glens Falls (26-23), Colonie (28-18), Draper (24-22), Shaker (40-8), and Al- bany Academy (36-0). Also, we attained two vctories each over Albany High School (37-6, 32-13) and Linton (35-14, 34-8). Mont Pleasant's only losses were one each to Burnt Hills (28-19) and Niskayuna (33-11). 118 AI Gallo, Unlimited Paul Roenish, 157 lb. class Floyd Gardner, 136 lb. class Mulvaney’s Fall Guys Russell Place, 123 lb. class R.

An observer passing by the athletic field during a fall class day might very well see some of our girls engaged in a vigorous game of ten- nis or field hockey. Many other students would be running the track or throwing the softball as they participated in the semi-annual physi- cal fitness tests. As winter approaches, this athletic program would be changed to include volleyball, and work on gymnasium apparatus. Girls participating in after-school sports submit team lists, and from this, an interschol- astic tournament program is organized. After- school activity is extended to include work in the modern dance organization. These activi- ties tend to encourage voluntary participation, group cooperation and general promotion of healthy physical activity. 120 Bette Ann Craft attempts to make a basket before she gets any interference from opposing players.

Reminiscent of a “Heavenly” Evening A Heavenly evening was enjoyed on May 5, 1962, by the attendants of the Class of 1963’s Junior Prom. This student ef- fort, co-chairmaned by Joan Marsh and Joseph Massaroni, fea- tured the crowning of the queen, charming Jean Corcoran, who was chosen from the entire court to reign as queen by the junior boys. The queen's court, elected by the junior class, included the princesses, Gayle Gavin, Cheryl Harper, Kathleen Hart, Karen Krasniewski, Joan Marsh, Sandra Murphy, Nicola Ragucci, Sharon Renzi and Mary Yanni. The class deans, Miss Isabel Jarvis and Mr. Armand Severino, generously contributed their time and efforts to help make this event most enjoyable. Musical entertainment throughout the eve- ning was offered by Steve Anthony and his orchestra.

A Spotlight Centered on Senior Ability Each year the seniors of Mont Pleasant put on a talent show to entertain an audience and to raise funds for the sen- ior class treasury. It all begins with a meeting of the senior class officers, members of the Senior Executive Committee, the senior class dean, and the director, Mr. Anthony Coppola. At this meet- ing, general plans are drawn up for the show and themes are suggested. When one theme is agreed upon, the plans are put into action. Class members then begin backstage work and preparation for their routines. Anything Goes' gave a flexible frame to our last show. In one skit, Bill Meyer played the petrified astronaut who was about to take off while Scott Lenihan acted as the news commentator. Twelve senior boys became the sweethearts of M.P.H.S. in a can-can. The Varsity Drag and a ballet by Penny Jordan were other dance routines in the show. Numer- ous musical scores, including solos by Sharon Archambault and Bill Lane, were also part of the performance. The end result, after nine weeks of preparing and re- hearsing, was a success. Our talent show this year, Something's Gotta Give, promises to be an even more prosperous production. The Cutle Pie of the talent show. Ronald Szczepanski, smiles sweetly at the audience. 132 Photographer Joe Winchell demonstrates the proper way to do the Varsity Drag to a group of last year's seniors.

Varsity baseballers lost only three seniors from the lineup: Bob Berube, Joe Galietta. and Fred Sefcovic. Galietta and Junior Wayne Smith combined to supply the slugging power for the team. Smith, carrying a big .460 average, with five home runs, and Galietta, hitting .450 for the season, were picked players of the year on the Union Star all-star team. Some of our outstanding players were Tom DiNola in the outfield, and juniors Dick Bersel and Craig Brown supplying the pitching, while another junior, Gary Butkus, did the catch- ing. Some of Coach Parisi's wins were the following: a 7 to I defeat of Mohonasen, a 4 to I triumph over Amsterdam, a 12 to II thriller over Linton which was due to a grand-slam home run by Wayne Smith, and a I I to 4 victory over Niska- yuna. The team also captured a doubleheader from Glens Falls by a 3 to I and 13 to I score. M.P. finished second only to Troy and expects a fine season next year with the return of the following veterans. Bill Jahnel, Tom DiNola, Bill Neidel, Jim Vacca and Thomas PutfOWski. Gaylord Lawrence loosens up before the game. 135 Slugger Wayne Smith takes his classic stance.

For the eighth consecutive year, the Hill has been unbeaten in dual meets. As crosstown foe Linton fell to its conqueror by a score of 901 2 to 45 2. so too did the other rivals by similar heavy defeats. Albany will remember the score of 99 to 37 just as vengefully as Bishop Gibbons, who suffered an 82 to 45 attack by the Red Raiders. Combining determination and unquestionable ability, the cin- dermen of Mont Pleasant invaded state-wide opposition. Capturing six first-place events for 44 points, the track team repeated its vic- tory in the Utica Interscholastic Meet for the second year in a row. High jumper Ike Cooper leaped 6’ 3 4 to set a new Utica meet and MP record. The Section 2 Track and Field Championships was the scene of another second-year-in-a-row victory. The Raiders emerged the Class A champions by taking four events, placing in eleven others and to- taling 54 points. Star performer was pole vaulter Phil Palmatier, a 5'8 senior who shattered all existing local records by soaring over a 12’9 height. Frank Pidgeon did a seasonal best of 42' 2 ‘n the hop, step and jump which bettered the sectional record by 5 . The other MP victory saw John VanDerWerken and Ike Cooper tie with ■high jumps of 5'9 . At the New York Interscholastic Track and Field Championships held on June 9, Mont Pleasant’s Phil Palmatier finished second with a I2'9 leap. In the Sports Carnival, Phil captured first place in the pole vaulting event. At the Sports Carnival. Mike Melanson keeps his lead during the two-mile run. 138 Top Row: A. Donahue. A. Kaczkowski. W.

This season initiated participa- tion in tennis, archery, and softball. After-school activity also includes modern dance in addition to tennis and archery. By engaging in at least one after-school sport each season, a girl becomes eligible for the Girls' Athletic Club and may play in in- trascholastic games developing a competitive spirit. Mont Pleasant girls took part in President Kennedy’s physical fitness program. After being tested on a series of standard tests their scores were compared with those through- out the country. This diversified athletic pro- gram has been planned to develop leadership, sportsmanship, body co- ordination and team cooperation. Demonstrating their agility on the ropes are C. Di Crosta. C.

Tennis Team Swings With the Best 142 Critically handicapped by the loss of several seniors, the boys' tennis team, comprised chiefly of new members, finished the '62 season with a record of three wins and six losses. M.P. netmen proved victorious over Schalmont and split a game each with Albany and Heatly (Green Island). Two losses were dropped to Lin- ton and Troy high schools. Mont Pleasant's high scorers were Vince Mauri- ello and Fred Levine, netting personal records of 6-3 and 5-3, respective- ly. Under the able coaching of Richard Suprunowicz, the boys' tennis team looks forward to the '63 season when the return of two lettermen will bring added depth and experience. 143 Mr. Armand Severino. senior class dean, led our class through three rewarding years of activities.
