Monticello High School - Monti Yearbook (Monticello, NY)

Text from Pages 1 - 184 of the 1956 volume:

Monticello High School Monticello, New York oreivor J When the editors and staff of the Monti '56 first began to suggest themes for their yearbook, numerous topics were mentioned. After much discussion, the poorer ones were weeded out. This left us with two or three excellent sugges- tions. However, the theme preferred by most of the staff was A Trip To The Moon. The reasons why we considered this theme the best are many. With its ever growing feasibility in the not too distant future, space travel has become a subject which is widely discussed by many people. Thus our theme has constantly been in the public spotlight. On the other hand, we asked ourselves these questions- How will this affect high school students? How can we fit our school into the theme? Alter another period of discussion, we found our answer. We decided to compare a trip to the moon with our trip through school. Then the rocket ship Monti was ready to be launched. On the surface, our theme is a light one. However, it can and should be taken seriously as we hope the reader will discover. In reality, each individual has his own moon or goal. The distance of the goal depends upon his ambi- tion. One cannot underestimate the importance of setting his standards high and striving until they are reached. This is how each conscientious person should regard and apply the theme of this book. However, whether it be twelve years of school or a lifetime of study, reaching the moon depends entirely on you. 2 2W« ica tion The theme for The Monti '56 is A Trip to the Moon. Literally, our trip to the moon has been our journey through school. As the trip to the moon would be unsuccessful without experienced men and women to direct the ship on its course, so our trip through school would not be successful without those who guide us through these years. As we reach our goal of graduation, we are completing the twelfth year of our journey. In these twelve years we have gained much knowledge. We have Learned to live with and understand people, regardless of race, color, or religion. These things which we have gained have molded our characters and prepared us for stepping out and playing our part on the nation's team for peace and harmony in the world. With great pride we salute the teachers of America. Through their dedicated service are molded the youth who become tomorrow's citizens. We are aware that a trip to the moon takes much planning and guiding. Many experienced, educated, and dedicated people help prepare for the actual departure and then guide the ship on its way. So it is that our teachers prepare us to go out into the world as tomorrow's citizens. With this realization we, the members of the class of '56, dedicate our yearbook, The Monti '56,” to the teachers of America and their profession. 3 r D.'Me Foreword ........................ 2 Dedication ...................... 3 Alma Mater ...................... 5 Administration .................. 9 Student Government ............. 21 Seniors ........................ 31 Moments to Remember ............ 63 Underclassmen .................. 73 Activities ..................... 89 Athletics ......................127 Summation ......................144 Advertisements .................145 Advertising Directory ..........176 Lift your colors, fling them outward.

Camille Albrfcht Art Editor With this edition, the Monti Staff of 1956 proudly presents the result of its untiring efforts to complete the best yearbook possible. Beginning in the fall of 1954 the co-editors and business manager for this yearbook were chosen. They were followed by the writing, research, typing, art, business, and picture cropping staffs. The theme was selected a rocket ship journey through space to the moon. Work began immediately and assignments were distributed. Money was raised through the magazine sale, student subscriptions, and advertisements. Pictures were taken and the tentative book was put together and sent to press. We’d like to thank everyone who helped com- plete the yearbook. It was a long and hard job but well worth the work put into it. 7 MacMurdo, H. Karamcchedis, A. Lagerway, M. Chicko, P. j. Fdiss, J.

I pointed ahead — ahead of myself as well as you.'' Mr. Noble addresses P. T. A. Meeting on behalf of Centraliza- Shirley Feldberg 12 DL Principal’, m }e3ACl(ji To The Class of 1956: This message is being written to you long before you read it—in fact on the day after Thanksgiving 1955. Probably that is the reason I am suggesting to you that at graduation time you should count your many blessings. Your school life has been lived in a period during which there has been much in- ternational unrest. Yet in the communities where you have resided, life has been peace- ful. your parents have enjoyed relative prosperity, and for most of you the necessities of life and even its luxuries have been in abundance. Your school careers have been uninterrupted by any major problems, your class rooms have been staffed by able teach- ers. Twenty-eight of you started first grade together in September 1944 and eight more have joined your class who were in second grade that autumn. You have en- joyed the companionship of seven more of your original first grade up to the present although they will not be graduating with you. Among these forty-three young people, many close and lasting friendships have been formed. After graduation you will be much more on your own.' With a full appreciation of the opportunities which have been yours and will be yours in years to come, carve out for yourselves lives worthy of your heritage. Kenneth L. Rutherford Helen C.

At this time, they try to improve our trip by discussing ideas for new activities, more effi- cient government, and better citizenship, sportsmanship, and scholarship. The Student Council and student body work together to make the rocket ship a better place and to achieve our goal—the moon. 24 President ............ Andrrw Richardson Vice-President .............

Mr. Hoose The Monitor Squad, an extremely important body in our space ship’s student government, consists of Juniors and Seniors who enforce the ship’s laws. On each of the rocket's three floors is a captain and a group of monitors whose job it is to regulate traffic in the halls. An integral part of our ship’s administrative system, the Monitor Squad will continue to maintain law and order as we continue our climb toward the moon. 26 Service Students appointed to the Service Squad devote one study hall or activity period per week to aid the office. By running errands, delivering messages, and doing other small tasks around the rocket ship, the Service Squad has eliminated many minor chores from the administration of our lunar journey. Advised by Mr. Rutherford, this organization is most helpful to our ship. It keeps the ball rolling by work- ing together to make our trip a smooth one. Adviser .......... Mr. Rutherford First row—A.

Gloria Cross Brenda Albrecht Miss Kinsman Having authority over Leaders' Club, Varsity and Junior Varsity Cheerleaders, and all girls' intramural activities, the Girls' Sports Organi- zation Council is the most important part of the girls' athletic program. Each grade is represented by two regular members and one alternate, elected by their classmates. All girls participating in our ship's intramural program are members of the Girls' Sports Organization. Through their representatives the girls may raise objections or make suggestions as to how the intramural system is run. The point system, based on participation in girls' athletic activities, is the process by which a girl may be awarded numerals, a shield, an M , or a key, the highest and most sought after award. The G. S. O. is useful to our ship in furthering better sportsmanship among its ranks and in affording relaxation and enjoyment to all its participants. 140 To officiate girls' intramural games and develop all-round leaders for our ship is the purpose of Leaders’ Club. Open to girls in grades 10 through 12, Leaders' Club holds tryouts for Sophomores, Juniors and Seniors in the falL Freshman girls may sign up for probation in January. Those selected from this list are notified of their acceptance or rejection by letter in June. Meetings are held Tuesday activity period during which time the girls develop their skills in volleyball, basketball, softball, and the test of the many girls' sports. The Leaders' Club has certainly lived up to its name in preparing these girls to take up more responsibility as we near our destination. Don't miss it, Harriet.
