ID ABELL BUTTON GLORIA BUTTON Glo We call Glo a jitter bug, she's somewhat of a riddle. When you see a bunch of boys, you'll find her in the middle. Izzy Unless you stop your solemn ways, and take to fun and chafing, someday someone will tickle you until you die of laughing. RUPERT DAVIS Rupe Who can wrestle against sleep. SHARON CAMP Sherry Who does she like? Who is her flame? We're awful curious What is his name? PHILIP CHASE Phil- Quiet and girl shy, but oh my; they’ll all flop sooner or later.

Prophecy Scene: Hades Tours for Weary Souls. Glenn: (Into phone) O. K., I'll be ready.” Mrs. McFarland and Mr. Maloney enter. Glenn: You must be the new guests I was informed about. Won't you be seated? Mrs. McFarland: I had no idea it would be like this. We just arrived today. Glenn: I was wondering if you would ever get here. Shall we begin? Mr. Maloney: You have a nice color scheme here. They enter graveyard. Glenn: It helps--I'm sure you will see and remember a lot of your friends. Ann B.: Stands up eating something. Glenn: Remember how Ann liked those Vermont products? The way she tormented people about them—now she eats only Maple Sugar. Vermont brand of course. Idabell B. stands holding a pan. Glenn: Remember the cooking contest she won in 56, for not cooking? She is doomed to boil water until it sticks to the bottom of the pan. Russ L. and Gloria B. stand up. Glenn: Remember Russ, he's the boy who always rode, and Gloria liked the boys with transportation, now they walk. Glenn: Back here is Harry D., the athlete. He's having a hard time keeping the water-boy job now. Plil C. and Harry are fighting constantly for the job now. Glenn: Remember how the majority always ruled in our class. Down here no maner how Sharon C. votes there is always one more vote for the other side. Glenn: Here is the class financial wizard, Connie H. Now all she does is go broke. Glenn: Roger G. over there now gives all his speeches with his hands tied. Glenn: here is Sminy, always ready with a ditty, swallowed his tongue, what a pity. Glenn: Remember how quiet Janet N., Helen B., Nancy B., Liz K., Connie R. and Donna B. were in school? Now they are in the percussion section of Satan’s Syn- copated Seven. Glenn: We got word that Dick H. Warren P. and Rupe D. didn’t get their hands warm before milking, so now they get slapped all day by cows' tails. Glenn: Here's Marion L. obviously a misplaced person. And here's Edith B., always late-well here she comes back from a date. There's Margie S., the one who married so young. Her husband just got transferred to above and she’s left holding the bag. Since her father owned the Gazette, Pat B. always got ahead, now she wears earmuffs all day long. Glenn: Due to Mr. Feig's principles-like repel, we notice that Nancy W. 's hair is slightly red. Of course she's an exception to the rule. Bill N. had his way with women, he goes out every night to look at them. For two girls named Lizzie, (Betty G. and Liz L.) the men in uniform made them dizzy, but now they frown because they are all broken down. There's Diane A., all packed and ready to go, with transfer papers she's not long for below. Angelo F., last but not least, always liked heat, and now he keeps the home fires burning. Glenn: This concludes our little tour. Mrs. M. and Mr. M. this has been an interesting tour to find out what happened to our former students. Glenn: THIS WAS NO TOUR—HERE'S YOUR SHOVELS AND THERE'S THE COAL- GET BUSY. Cast Will and Zestament We, the class of 1956, of New Berlin Central School, being of sound mind and memory do make, publish and declare this our last Will and Testament. We, the incomparable class of '56, filled with joyous insincerity, complete indifference and being of unsound minds: feel that there is no succeeding class that can inherit or fully appreciate our supreme potentialities. With a dazzling array of optimism we bequeath the following to the aspiring Juniors. This that we leave has been a treasured part of our existence and must be guarded and respected for all time. In the year to come we shall return to see if you are fulfilling your assigned tasks. We realize that to emulate our endeavors will tax you to the utmost of your abilities, however, with extreme effort you too will achieve a glorious end such as ours. Gloria wills to Helen--a lasso to keep the Edmeston boys under control. Liz leaves a map of Colgate Campus to Susan--so that when Sue goes up there next year she can make it without help. Rupe leaves his yodeling to John L. --so that John can be the star of dime dances. Pat leaves to John and Warren an all-purpose trap (once used for men) so they can catch that mink next year. Nancy leaves her red hair to Foster to match his temper. Harold leaves his curly hair, wave set and bobbie pins to Pete and John H. Connie's seemingly innocent expression is left to Ruth. As representative of the ex-Senior Chemistry students, Angelo leaves a bottle of copper sulfate to Ann G. so that she can carry it and admire it. Gloria leaves an extra set of tailpipes to Mary M., in case she finds herself in a snowbank again. Diane leaves to Diane S. exclusive use of the name Diane. Dick leaves his position as official truck driver, furniture mover, ice getter, etc., to Gerald G. Bill leaves his Model A to Barb F. so that the rest of the family can use the car. Marion leaves to Charlotte and Charlie, to carry the Lacey tradition, an alarm clock set five minutes late. Jolly G., leaves to his favorite cousin, Gerald, a bag of pre-polished apples for his use next year so he won't waste his time doing it himself. Liz K. leaves her peroxide to Dave S. to remove ail dark roots. Warren leaves to Jack R., a no-parking sign for the Poverty Lane Road. Idabeli leaves her muscles to Dick M., to aid in next year’s football. Betty leaves to Roger P. her interest in the Gulf Station on North Main Street. Nancy leaves her faint vocal chords to Helen L. to tame that trumpet. Russ wishes he could leave to Rog a non-foul guarantee so he would never have to sit on the bench the last quarter of the last game. To Irene Margie leaves her bail and chain until her man is signed, sealed, delivered. Glenn leaves his desk with ail the Physics and Chem formulas to Bill S.'s use. Liz leaves Mr. Fry a book of tickets to the Colonia so he'll be sure not to miss a single game of Lucky. Helen, as rep of the Psychology Class, leaves to Mr. Green for his future Psychology Class a couch. This will also satisfy Mr. Fry's curiosity about what happens behind those closed doors every sixth period. Janet leaves her quiet ways to Cliff Jones. The class leaves to Mr. Bassett, a special furnace to heat the science lab. Sharon Camp leaves her Majority Rules to the new president, in case he or she had an uncooperative class to deal with. To Don T., Jolly leaves his SUPERB acting ability for future plays. With great pleasure we present on behalf of the Class of 56, a recording of her favorite phrases such as We've been waiting for you, Haven't you been in school long enough to know the need of a pass, and many, many more. This is so she won't have to repeat herself. To occupy the janitors' time, we leave the job of re-installing the clocks in the front of the room, so clock watchers won't be so evident. Mrs. Williams, the sports girls leave an open line to Sherburne for repeated cancellations become necessary. Corrine R. leaves to Mr. Green his beloved chimes to replace the class buzzers. Betty leaves her special lipstick to Jill S. that when smeared on white shirts it become invisible. This is for the re- turn trip from D. C. The Junior Class we will a hat stretcher for their use next year when they arrive at the stage, as Mr. Butts says, where they itch their heads way out here. Harry leaves a cage to Don and Dale. To prevent tempting odor of the delicious food in the Home Ec. Dept, we leave a bottle to Betty F. and Barbara A. The Class leaves its reputation to be divided equally among the succeeding four classes. There will be more than enough for each class. And to close, We the Class of 1956 would like to leave to the Junior Class as a whole this thought: The brain works best when the tongue is in neutraL History 1943 saw a glowing change in the Kindergarten of the New Berlin Central School. Seven- teen eager Children (Roger was crying his eyes out because he had to leave his mother) entered our school, never to leave for that long 13 years. The survivors of that ordeal are: Diane, Ann, Helen, Edith, Gloria, Russ, Warren, Richard, Elizabeth, Janet, Corrine, Harold, Sharon, and Elizabeth L. Some children left and others came but the next permanent member was Philip better known as Shorty. Phil entered in the Second Grade. Third Grade saw Gloria, Margie and Sharon in the spotlight of the New Berlin Central School auditorium singing LITTLE OLD LADIES. Fourth Grade brought three more of our present Seniors. They were Connie, Nancy, Angalo and Harry. Incidentally Harry wouldn't even look at the girls. Then! Quite different from his pal, Russ, who took quite an interest in sports even in the lower grades, providing of course, that the girls were playing. His main objective to the game was kissing the girls. He even went to the work of organizing a group of boys to catch the girls for him. Fifth Grade brought another addition which certainly added spice to the 1956 Class. This was William, commonly called Tiger. Yes, he's also the Master of that little yellow Model A Ford. Sixth Grade brought Rupert and Seventh Donna. Junior High proved to be a gay round of parties. Our Treasury, consisting mostly of dues, supposedly for our Senior Trip expenses, lost weight whenever a teacher's birthday came about, but, in our Freshman year we started in earnest working toward our expenses for our senior year. We elected Angelo as our president and Mrs. Coddington and Mr. Fry were our class advisors. We had Bake sales, Dances, and Basketball Games as we did continually throughout our high school years. During this year we obtained two new members, Nancy B. and Glenn. In our Sophomore year Mrs. Brown was our Advisor and Sharon Camp our President. Sharon was reelected for our Junior and Senior years, also. It was during this year that we got our class rings, a must for every high school student. The Summer of '54 the National Guard camped on the Beardslee Flats, going to and from Camp Drum. Through the kindness of the Beardlees our class was allowed to sell refreshments. The girls of the class were especially interested in this class project. In fact, rumors went about that three of the National Guard reappeared this last summer. Any of the Senior girls want to verify this gossip? The summer of '54 over we reentered school, eagerly looking forward to those special events such as the Junior Play and Junior Prom. Our play, OUR HEARTS WERE YOUNG AND GAY, was directed by Mrs. Rudnitski. It consisted of a large cast and we had a grand time presenting it to our audience. The many mistakes which were made and quickly covered up by the cast and the 1920 clothing, featuring short dresses, long beads and stockings rolled to the knees added to the amusement of the evening. The other main event, the Junior Prom, was a huge success. Our Queen and King were Margie and Harry. For music, we had the Tommy Ballam Orchestra. The decorations consisted of a sky made from a large piece of cheese cloth and stars lying upon it. The effect was beautiful with the different colored spotlights shining through. Many hours were spent on this work of art and incidentally, most of those hours were from History Class. Our last and most important year, our Senior year, had come. Our final member, Marion, joined us at the beginning of this year. Our class Advisors chosen by us for this final year were Mrs. McFarland and Mr. Maloney. To swell our class treasury, in a last final attempt for our Senior Trip, we had a variety of functions, a Circus, Magician and the Senior Play. Our play, THE SKELETON WALKS, was directed by Mr. Speigel. In a hilarious two evenings we rewrote the whole script. Then came the arrival of April 3, 1956 and the big moment was here. With our chaperones, Mrs. McFarland, Mr. and Mrs. Maloney, and Mr. Green, the Senior Class started for Washington. We saw many points of interest, including the Cherry Blossom Parade and the Cherry Blossoms. We went on plenty of tours with the tired students and sore feet as the results. Leaving Washington, April 6, exhausted, we still ventured forth to New York City. We toured the United Nations and History page 2 Rockefeller Center and attended the Easter Show at Radio City Music Hall. Everyone enjoyed the show. Coming home, April 7, all sorts of remembrances were vivid in our minds. Ever since arriving home, Roger has been hounding the Juke Boxes with that popular song MOMENTS TO REMEMBER, Oh, and Rupert has been continually practicing his yodeling so he can make an- other debut in a certain nightclub in Washington when he returns. Yes, and Edith is now wearing a string around her finger so she won't forget to turn off the flat iron before leaving the Hotel room. Incidents like these are what will make our Senior Trip and Senior Activities memorable throughout the years to come. Each person going his or her separate way, will be remembered by his fellow classmates because of the happenings of high school days.. nderclassmen ml {Juniors Seated, left to right: B. Collier, J.

You have 26,000,000 minutes left to complete your life's work. 1 What you do with the time that has been alloted for your particular journey through life is, of course, up to you. But it is important to realize that time becomes increas- ingly valuable as you grow older. All of the goals and ambitions you have chosen for yourself must be reached within about the next fifty years. This gives you, at the age of eighteen, roughly 26,000,000 priceless minutes - more or less - to work with. i Time is something to be reckoned with. It comes at you in seconds, minutes and hours - such tiny sands of measurement that days, weeks, months, and even years can some- times slip by unnoticed through the hourglass of your life. Time is an eternal buffer that can give you the polish that comes with experience, or it can be an emery wheel that will wear you down at every turn. The personality and depth of character you develop within your inner self makes this vital determination. 1 Time is important. Never make the mistake of thinking it is not. Remember that in the finalanalysis, minutes wasted in getting started can add up to the hours of a lost oppor- tunity. Donotbeone of those who wastes time waiting for opportunity to come knock- ing on the door. It should be you - always - who goes knocking on opportunity's door a Time is expendable. It has been given to you in a certain amount to spend in what- ever way you see fit. But it should be clearly understood there is a built-in bonus for those who make effective use of time. Thus far, you have spent 9,201,600 minutes of your life, and these have been minutes well spent ... for the past 18 years, spent at home and in school, have given you the background needed for a good start in life. Now, the important thing is to keep going. Good luck to you and your friends who make up the Class of '56. The next 26,000,000 minutes are up to you. SCINTILLA DIVISION . BENDIX AVIATION CORPORATION.
