New Paltz High School - Huguenot Yearbook (New Paltz, NY)

Text from Pages 1 - 116 of the 1959 volume:

HUGUENOT Presented by THE SENIOR CLASS ..NEW PALTZ CENTRAL SCHOOL New Paltz, New York Having witnessed the changes wrought by time during our four years in high school, we, he class of Nineteen Hundred Fifty-nine, feel it appropriate to emphasize the theme of Time. In so doing, we have pictured the miracles of Time both comforting and inspiring. Time’s relentless surge forward is symbolized by the clock; her unfailing dependability by the Seasons: and her incomparable ability to make wiser, by our own growth toward good judgment. Bernice Paradies When I was one-and-twenty I heard a wise man say, Give crowns and pounds and guineas But not your heart away; Give pearls away and rubies But keep your fancy free. But I was one-and-twenty, No use to talk to me. When I was one-and-twenty I heard him say again, The heart out of the bosom Was never given in vain; 'Tis paid with sighs a-plenty And sold for endless rue. And I am two-and-twenty, And oh, 'tis true, 'tis true. Page 2 A. E.

As I ponder in retrospect over the past four years, I marvel at the change that this short period of time has made in the lives of you Seniors who are about to be graduated. You have changed from restless, timid, children, largely unsure of the goals you aimed for in the future, to a group of confident young adults who are facing the days to come with a definite purpose and a plan to accomplish it. I congratulate you on this transformation and as Time continues its flight I am confident that even greater and more admirable changes will take place. I am sure that I speak for the faculty and the Board of Education as well as for myself when I wish you success and a future filled with happiness. Frederick C. Dippel Mr. Frederick C. Dippel Supervising Principal tXAtUHC Mr. Raymond Buckley High School Principal Mathematics Page 5 An altered look about the hills; A Tyrian light the village fills; A wider sunrise in the dawn; A deeper twilight on the lawn; A print of a vermilion foot; A purple finger on the slope: A flippant fly upon the pane; A spider at his trace again; An added strut in chanticleer; A flower expected everywhere: An axe shrill singing in the woods; Fern-odors on untravelled roads — All this, and more I cannot tell, A furtive look you know as well, And Nicodemus' mystery Receives its annual reply. Emily Dickinson SccmMcd It was a bright and cheerful afternoon, Towards the end of the sunny month of June, When the north wind congregates in crowds The floating mountains of the silver clouds From the horizon-and the stainless sky Opens beyond them like eternity. All things rejoice beneath the sun; the weeds, The river, and the corn-fields, and the reeds; The willow leaves that glanced in the light breeze, And the firm foliage of the larger trees. Shelley 7 U Si Page 6 Season of mist and mellow fruitfulness, Close bosom-friend of the maturing sun; Conspiring with him how to load and bless With fruit the vines that round the thatch-eves run; To bend with apples the moss'd cottage-trees, And fill all fruit with ripeness to the core; To swell the gourd, and plump the hazel shells With a sweet kernel; to set budding more, And still more, later flowers for the bees, Until they think warm days will never cease, For Summer has o'er-brimmed their clammy cells. Keats l i4K L 7( UUr Through the hush's air the whitening shower descends, At first thin wavering; till at last the flakes Fall broad, and wide, and fast, dimming the day With a continual flow. The cherished fields Put on their winter-robe of purest white, Tis brightness all; save where the new snow melts Along the mazy current. Thomson Page 7 Mrs. Mildred Bond B.S.

Page 16 l cUecUctvu€i ScUufatwUa Margaret Karp Peggy is one of the most accomplished and versatile students in the history of our school. Her in-trest in science is avid; in athletics, she has been a most active participant and a most enthusiastic supporter of our teams. A generous portion of her time was devoted to music, and for the last two years she has been the accompanist for the Mixed Chorus. She has played the violin and viola in the orchestra. In addition, she attended many sectional programs as an alto. Her superb qualities have been recognized by the school, for she was inducted into the Honor society and was the representative of our school at the United Nations seminar. Thomas Landau Tom's remarkable knowledge of world affairs stems from a profound respect for facts. This probably explains his love of history, mathematics and science. Outside the classroom, his interests are wide and varied. He has taken part in many extracurricular activities such as baseball, football and music, and for two years was editor of the school newspaper. He has been a willing helper on school activities, and an active participant in community affairs. At the close of his junior year Tom attended the International Youth Conference held at the State Teachers' College. Page 17 CHARLES M. ALSDORF Your wish is my command Skip . . . dependable . . .

In some ways, our freshman year was the most exciting year in high school. There were so many things to get used to: teachers, a maze of classrooms, tests and more tests, the whole organization of the school. To represent us in Student Council that first year, we elected as our class officers Tom Pine, president; Dick Winfield, vice-president; and Bernice Paradies, secretary-treasurer. Our sophomore officers were Birch Hayes, president; Richard Rohe, vice-president, and Carol Decker, secretary-treasurer. The theme of the Sophomore Hop was The Roaring Twenties. The entertainment, consisting of a hilarious takeoff on those wild years, made the dance especially successful. At Christmas time, our two homerooms walked off with the Christmas decoration awards, quite an honor for a sophomore class. In the spring, a sophomore delegation of Michael Sullivan, Jeannette Hogan, Thomas Landau, and Bernice Paradies attended the Herald Tribune Youth Forum. Bernice, Sandra, Linda, BeHy Jean, Jeannette, Carol, Diane and Sharon were attendants at our Junior Prom. Alice and Tom were Queen and King of the Moonlight and Roses Court. During the year several members of our class were chosen as, representatives to various conferences. Peggy Campbell was the school's representatives to Girls' State, Tom Pine to Boys' State, Steve Stalkever to the Central Hudson study program. Peggy Karp was chosen to be a student delegate to the U.N., and Tom Landau took part in Here we are, just before we won the annual interclass meet. When we became juniors, we installed a class administration consisting of Wendell Harp, president; Karl Moehrke, vice-president; and Carol Decker, secretary-treasurer. Our Junior Prom was the social high spot of the year. The various committees worked diligently and produced a dance that will be a standard for future classes. the International Program at New Paltz State Teachers College. This year, we won an overwhelming victory at the annual interclass track meet, thus gaining possession of the coveted jug. Our class officers are Jeannette Hogan, president; Mike Sullivan, vice-president; and Sandra Smiley, secretary-treasurer. Our excellent Christmas decorations, which won first place, were largely the result of Linda P's hard work. Pag© 36 Scenes from our annual play, The Late Christopher Bean . The cast consisted of Tom Pine, Rosemary Congdon, Marlene, Winnie; Linda Pope, Pat Walz, Glenn HasBrouck, Steve Salkever, Mike Sullivan and Bob Bailey. Repeating our sophomore year performance, we again won the Christmas decoration contest. Cur Senior Play, The Late Christopher Bean, provided a delightful evenings' entertainment for all who saw it. Featured in the cast were Tom Pine and Rosemary Congdon. Congratulations to Larry Dawson, Peggy Karp, Tom Landau, Bernice Paradies, Steve Salkever, and Mike Sullivan for winning Regents Scholarships. This was the largest number of Regents Scholarships ever won in a single year at New Paltz. As our four years together draw to a close, we view the future with mixed emotions. Regret, for leaving in the past a wonderful, important part of our life, and on the other hand, anticipation of what awaits us in the years to come. The future will never erase our memories of New Paltz. The Huguenot staff hard at work to produce a good yearbook.

Perhaps the most exciting victory came against Wallkill when Billy Freer picked up a fumble with only two minutes to go, as New Paltz trailed eighteen to thirteen. Billy ran eighty yards for the winning touchdown. The season was climaxed by our annual Halloween night game, when our team triumphed over Rondout by a score of thirty-three to six.
