New Milford High School - Schaghticoke Yearbook (New Milford, CT)

Text from Pages 1 - 96 of the 1954 volume:

We, the Class of 1954, Dedicate Our Yearbook To the Memory Of Alma Anderson Schulze, Whose Helping Hands, Friendly Spirit, And Tireless Devotion to the Welfare of Others Are Gratefully Remembered By This Class and This Community. MR. KNOX: When the new school is finished......... MR. GRAHAM: Have you heard the latest about the MISS OLSON: When I get these orders out........ Toothless Termite? MR. WILLIAMSON: When I get this schedule done..... MISS SALVIO: No, what? MR. KENNY: Is it as bad as the last one? N.M.H.S. MISS NORTHROP: Girls, let's get together this Saturday. MISS WEAVER: How about coming with me to the Scout conference at Camp Maria Pratt? MISS KEELER: There's a dandy debate at Regional. MRS. MELLON1NO: I think an art exhibit in the audito rium would be fine for Friday evening. MR. HUNT: Isn't there a concert scheduled then? MR. WISER: I hate to spoil your plans, but there's a basketball game that night. MR WHITE; Where's my hatchet? Where's my fan? MISS HODGSON: I just borrowed the hatchet to cut Mr. Smith's sponge cake. MR. SMITH: And I'm using the fan to get the smoke out of the oven. MISS MARCHETTA: And this is a kitchen? MR. FULLERTON: Someone is in for a big surprise. MRS. QUIST: Maybe you had better plan to continue teaching. CHIEFTAINS MISS PETERSON: Do you remember when the class of '54 was in the seventh grade ? MRS. POST: They were always talking in my room. MISS LILLIS: But they won the magazine campaign. MR. DEVIN: Look at my track team's record. MR. CHRAPLIWY: My hogs can jump farther than your track team. MR. BUCKNAM: But how are they with a tennis racket? A NOTE OF APPRECIATION The Class of 1954 was a bit unusual in that it took three advisors to see us through our high school career. Miss Northrop acted in that capacity for the first two years and got us off to a good start. Mr. Wiser steered us through the mazes of our Junior year. Then Miss Weaver carried on in 1 953-54 and brought us successfully to our graduation. We salute these three teachers who, with friendliness and firmness, guided us on that long road from September, 1 950, to the moment when diplomas were finally placed in our hands. They shared our work, our fun, our problems. They added the necessary drops of wisdom to the magic of our enthusiasms. When, as occasionally happened, we faltered, they found time for individual conferences and supplied the words of encquragement (or rebuke!) necessary to renew our efforts. More than anything else, we always had the sense that they were standing by ready to help us. We know, too, how much other staff members have contributed to the richness of our high school experience. Now to our goodbyes we wish to add the many thank-yous that we forgot or didn’t quite know how to say during the past four years. 6 A ) Faithful and true-hearted, Let us cheer our dear old High. We revere her and defend her, As her colors proudly fly. We will stand for her united, Of her deeds we gladly tell. . . , CUSS OFFICERS - 1953 1954 President; CARLTON F.

Done in New Milford this 25th day of June 1954, LUCY STUART, and MAUREEN O’CONNOR, CLASS AGENTS Witnesses: Barbara Weaver Harold Hunt 27 FUTURE UF They are met at the door by an elderly Chinese. His voice seems familiar as he greets them saying: “Welcome to Shangri-La. We’ve been expecting you.” It seems odd at first that they do not feel the strangeness of this magnificent lamasery, lost high in the mountains of Tibet. But no, the members of the NMHS Class of 1954 have all been here before--twenty years ago, in fact, to this very night, the night on which the class presented its Senior Play, April 10, 1954. Now they have come again to celebrate their twentieth reunion and to renew old acquaintances. The first of many familiar faces to be seen as they enter is that of Stephen Bulova, internationally-known scientist and inventor of the perpetual-motion machine. Accompanying him is Wesley Schultz, Jr., his renowned assistant and designer of the automobile that they are planning to enter in the Indianapolis race this year. This car, the first ever to employ perpetual-motion for power, will be piloted by Mary Ann Wager, who is perplexed by the difficulty of stopping the vehicle. Turning to meet them is a tall, distinguished gentleman, carrying a conservative Stetson and blowing smoke rings from a Havana cigar. Who should it be but the well-known Senator from Connecticut, the Honorable Carleton Chase ! Obviously Congress has given him ample opportunity to express his emotions for making motions. Joining the group are Dr. Dianne Woods, well-known veterinarian (special-izing in canine diseases of the lower left nostril), and Sylvia Wolinski, Channel 1's most popular woman wrestler. She is carrying a few of the many thousands of fan letters which she receives daily. A motion is now made by Senator Chase that everyone present introduce himself and tell what he has been doing since he left school. The motion is seconded by Robert Burden, the Liberace of the Sax, and the group enthusiastically agrees. Prompting a chuckle from the lips of all as they appear, two girls in costumes resembling cigarette packs reveal their identities as Maureen O’Connor and Donna Corey, the revolutionary Lucky Strike team, regular and king-size. Ann Ognan next tells of her confusing careers; she has achieved marked success in three fields—nursing, art and poetry. Cliff Allen goes on to explain how busy he has been making geometric solids for Solid Geometry teachers. In her turn, Wanda Williams briefly describes her life as “very dull,” and carefully excludes the details of her nineteenth divorce. Otherwise she has spent most of her time on world tours and Caribbean cruises. The group now finds itself amused as Ken Anderson, the celebrated TV comic, appears. With Ken is Peter Day, whose Electronic Robot Physics Instructor is revolutionizing the teaching profession. When questioned on why the prototype was a Physics teacher, Mr. Day's answer is “No comment. There is a stir as Rajah Carlton Fitch enters followed by his 600 wives. He inquires at once for Rajah Joseph Michalek and his 545 wives. Stephen Auerbach, Far Eastern correspondent for the New Milford GAZETTE, says that he heard that Rajah Michalek would not come until he has accumulated 55 more wives and so could meet Fitch on even ground. At this point Ruth Dube, President of the American Women’s Political League, rises and expresses the desire that this reunion be conducted in an orderly manner. Prompted by Miss Dube's desire for orderliness, the Reverend Clifford Burnett remarks that an opening service might be in order and proceeds to conduct one. Following this Veronica Barnes tells a few interesting experiences she has had as a simultaneous interpreter for the UN. Suddenly amidst a clatter from the rear of the room, Phyllis Knox emerges and proudly demonstrates the N.B.C. chimes which she operates. At this appropriate time refreshments are served by a group from Hernando’s Hideaway, with Val Carroll as bartender assisted by Lois Arnold, 28 THE CLASS OF ’54 Shirley Cameron and Lucy Stuart. Free cigarettes are supplied by the Stackhouse Tobacco Company, with Daniel Morrell Stackhouse III doing the distributing. During the pause for refreshments, Edna Tiemann begins to demonstrate her famous reducing program, “Tiemann’s Tender Tricks for Trimming Tonnage.” To round out the commercial, Rose Chudada begins to corner prospective customers for her fabulous used-car market, “Rollicking Rosie’s Real-Gone Roadsters.” Swede Larson, Rosie’s capable partner in the small-car division, shows how to seat 52 people comfortably in aVolkswagon. Continuing with the introductions, we find that Tom Fogarty is the President of the Connecticut State Federation of Professional Window Dressers and Unemployed Mannequins. He introduces his staff (all ex-Conover models) --Marjorie Hipp, Caralyne Couch, Karen Kallenbach, and Anne Miller. To their left are Dot Lescynski, Manager of the Alaskan Tea Company, Unlimited; Eileen Carlson, American League Rookie of the Year; and Martha Bovat, who will compete with her daughter in this season's tennis finals at Wimbledon. The landing of an airplane piloted by Jim Stuart, proud owner of his own Trans-World Air Speedway, heralds the arrival of the representatives of the Housewives’ Protective Association. They are Kay Tuz, Georgia Booth, Faith Ferguson and Betty Schimpf, a few of the many happily-married members of the class who are also celebrating their twentieth wedding anniversaries. When the meeting is again called to order, Nancy Moore begins to orate in a most impressive manner. Nancy is the President of the American Oratorical Society--$50 per speaker per Graduation or Memorial Day. To the strains of “The Creep,” as recorded on Hi-Fi by David Clark and his RCA orchestra, Judy Miller, who is with the Russian Ballet Company, gives a fine exhibition of her modernistic style of dancing. Then Dot Campbell, NMHS’s popular Phys. Ed instructor, wanders in. She was driven to Shangri-La by Leavenworth’s Lonely Lovers Taxi Service. (If Ronnie’s car could climb those hills to Washington, he can certainly drive the Himalayas.) Also in the Leavenworth Lincoln is Eleanor Knowles, NMHS’s Probation Officer. Seated at a nearby desk we note Sue Waller busily writing to a pen-pal in Tokyo. Pausing, Susan skims through the Guest Book and comments on a few interesting entries. Some of these are : Mary Jane Carrier and Janice Collins, joint proprietors of the “Mar-Jan Shoppe,” the sole distributor of “Old Chinese Love Potion” in the East; Jane Woodin, President of the Wild Woodin Insurance Company, which insures only Civil War Veterans; Carolyn Schultz, Headmistress at an institution for delinquent two-year-olds; and Nancy Leviness, Pioneer in Atomic Poultry Husbandry. Other familiar faces that can be seen are those of Mr. Edward Kenny, our Senior Play Director, Miss Barbara Weaver and Miss Caroline Keeler, our Senior Class Advisors. These three wonderful people loved Shangri-La so much that they returned here shortly after the close of school in 1954. Fortunately, they are still as young now as they were then and we all hope that they will remain that way always. All together again, we talk on until the light begins to appear over Kara-kal and finds us still recalling memories of our high school days, some of the happiest of our entire lives. SCRIBES: DONNA COREY STEPHEN AUERBACH 29 For its Senior play the Class of 54 decided to venture far— into the Utopian world of James Hilton’s “Lost Horizon”. Under the inspiring direction of Mr. Kenny, the cast pictured above put on a notable performance which will rank as a milestone in the history of New Milford dramatics. A black cyclorama background, together with the skillful use of lighting, music and sound effects, helped create the mood of strangeness necessary for the successful production of this unusual play. CONWAY: It's the most isolated spot I've seen. A whole separate culture could develop in a place like this. And no contamination from outside. 30 HIGH LAMA- That is why you are here, and why I am here, and why we may pray to outlive the doom that gathers on all sides. CONWAY- And you think Shangri-La will escape? HIGH LAMA- We hope it will, for we have a heritage to cherish and bequeath. MISS BRINKLOW- Now, what do you believe in? CHANG- Our prevalent belief is moderation! PRODUCTION CREW: Stage Manager: MARY ANN WAGER: Sound Effects: STEVE BULOVA; Scenery: CLIFFORD ALLEN and JAMES STUART; Lights: WESLEY SCHULTZ. NURSE RUTHERFORD: Perhaps it was this music--Conway's memory came back to him later that evening. He was shaken and nervous. He told me what happened at Shangri-la. There's been no trace of him since. May I, 1953 - President KEN ANDERSON and Prom Chairman PHIL WORLEY crowned VERONICA BARNES as Queen of the Junior Prom. SENIOR PROM November 28, 1953--KEN ANDERSON and KAREN KALLENBACH reigned over the Senior Prom as King and Queen. They were crowned by CARLTON FITCH, Class President, and MAUREEN O’CONNOR, Prom Chairman. You’ll Never Walk Alone Thanks a million. The Rage of the Left Bank hear the one about--?

It supervised and planned all the assemblies. For the first time, all fund-raising campaigns were combined into one “Green Feather Drive' . It sponsored such projects as a block dance and the selling of NMHS hats and insignia. Mimeographed reports of all Council meetings were posted in each homeroom and every representative worked on some committee. Finally, arrangements were made so that seniors and juniors were able to use the official town voting machines in the election of next year’s Student Council officers. 50 BOYS' SOCCER The fact that there was no more football at NMHS led to the beginning of a great new team--boys’ soccer. Since this was the first year, the schedule was rather limited. Under the able direction of Coach White, the boys played the teams of Thomaston, Litchfield and Newtown, tying one game and losing two by just a few points. The Seniors on the team this year were Steve Bulova, goalie, Ken Anderson; and Dave Clark. With the remaining fellows on the team and the new ones coming up, the boys’ soccer season should be great next year. str GIRLS' SOCCER This year the girls’ soccer team removed all doubts concerning its ability to win. The season opened very soon after school began. Although during the first three games we managed to keep the scores of the opposing teams to 4, 2, and 2, we just weren’t the victorious ones. Finally the spell was broken. The almost impossible was accomplished; we scored 5 points against Newtown. Although Newtown won the game technically, it was still our victory. The remaining games of the season were ours. The success of our team was due largely to the sportsmanship and the great will-to-win of its members. BOYS’ BASKETBALL Last year’s second string stepped up into the shoes of the first string and filled them pretty well. The outstanding characteristic of basketball at NMHS in 1953-54 was the way the boys played as a team. It is gratifying to know that the total number of points scored during the season was quite evenly distributed among the starting five. Coach Wiser’s quintet went through the season playing seven teams from the nearby area. NM HS scored two victories over both Washington and Morris and lost to Bethel, Abbott Tech., Litchfield, and Woodbury. On December 18 a most spectacular game was played with Newtown on our court. All through the game the score was close and was tied several times. New Milford came through victorious with a score of 48-46. In contrast to what happened in 1 953 when five players graduated, the only player leaving the team this year is Ken Anderson. Here’s looking forward to a great season in 1954-55. 54 GIRLS' ItmUBMI The girls’ team this year showed wonderful team spirit. As far as wins and losses are concerned, the season was not successful, but it was successful in the respect that the girls worked hard and played hard together. The Seniors leaving this year are Eileen Carlson, Captain; Donna Corey, Dorothy Lescynski, Judy Miller, Wanda Williams, Dianne Woods, and Betty Schimpf. J. V.

CROSS COUNTRY TEAM This is the first time in the history of New Milford High School that we have had a cross country team. Even though they were brand new, they played like veterans, winning every meet they entered. Next year Coach Devin hopes to maintain this fine record. TRACK TEAM This year the track team did not win any meets, but they showed in all of them. The outlook for the future is promising, since this year’s team was made up mostly of freshmen and sophomores. Donald Freeman gave indication of being a future champion for New Milford High School. Coach Devin is hoping that a lot more boys will try out next spring. SOFTBALL TEAM The team won four out of the eight games played during the past season. High scorer was Rose Ann Blair with a batting average of .464. Louise Gawel had the most put-outs (29) with Dot Campbell next (15). Dot Lescynski threw 27 strike-outs and gave 13 bases by balls. Eileen Carlson played in every game. It was Mr. Graham’s fifth year as coach of the softb'all team. With many players graduating, he is hoping for strong underclassman support next spring. BASEBALL TEAM New Milford started in fine style, winning three games in a row against Newtown, Bethel and Washington. The team played championship ball, with Ricky Johnson handling the burden of pitching. Then Abbott Tech defeated us 14-0, and in our next outing we ran up against great pitching by Newtown’s Berglund and were again defeated 4-0. After having been rained out twice, we finally played Woodbury, squeezing out a 5-4 victory in extra innings. Paul Douskey brought in the winning run. Due to infractions of the training rules by several members, the team had to be disbanded. Those remaining on the team at the end of the season were : Sam Blackman, Allan Warner, Paul Douskey, Fred Conefry, Warren Smith, Robert Kallenbach and Henry Gibson. 58 AKCHERf TENNIS EMM Archery, a fairly new sport at NMHS, proved popular this year.
