THE OHSan STAFF presents a record of 1948-49 in pictures and words-- life in Oneonta Senior High School. For ou r memories through the years, we picture the purpose for our coming to school-an education under the direction ol' capable instructors and counselors. Perhaps we do not realize it now, but a mind men- tally alert, is a necessity to success. The everyday happenings a1'ound school will become dear to us as the years pass: meeting our friends in the hall between classes, running to make fourth floor lab class on time. Our organizations have helped to develop leadership -it's been hard work, but also a lot of fun to put on a successful dance, operetta, review, or school play. We'll never forget the sports organizations--how we enjoy cheering the teams to Victory, how we try to be good sports when we lose. In this yearbook, which marks the twenty-fifth anni- versary of the Oneonta Senior High School yearbook, we hope that these scenes which we have tried to recap- ture will become a permanent part of our memories. 2 T u ...N Q, WE DEDICATE THIS BOGK To Susan Chavv and Barbara Super, who not only inspirvd us with tho low of knowlvdgm ix Q I ld introduced us lo the worlclvs lilalrary rllalslerlaiews, hut aiclvd in llI'Ulllll'illg for us uni un dreds of other OHS students in yours past. pr-rlnanr-nt 11-4-or'ds of happy high srhool I wrnories. mor 01 for over 1 der idx, xx 1. nlarkcd hy a Splllt of h Illlllllly xnd mooperallon.

So it is that words seem inadequate to give expression to our great sense of sorrow and regret at the loss of our friend and teacher, Helen Brink. Her quiet unassuming ways and even the thoughtful words she uttered, endeared her to us. lt is now that we think especially of the many little things we might have said, and done to voice the affection for her we held in our hearts. Though these thoughts can never be fulfilled, it is our privilege to cherish her memory by upholding the ideals for which she stood and by striving to become the kind of individuals she would have wished us to become.

E -Q 1 1 f-E, 5, Dr. Harold V. Hager Harold V. Hager has been superinten- dent of Oneonta public schools for four years. During this time he has worked to improve teaching methods and general building maintenance. Included among the improvements and services which he has initiated are the in- stallation of a new and better lighting system in seven buildings, the extension of the guidance program to elementary schools, the improvement in heating facili- ties, and the modernization of our health center. Dr. Hager has many duties as super- intendent which occupy much of his time. He, nevertheless, finds time to serve in many community organizations. Among other things, he is president of the Rotary Club, chairman of the Civic Forum, and an active member of the Executive Council of the Boy Scouts of America. Dr. Hager possesses a keen sense of humor and a friendly smile which appeals to all ages. Mr. Charles A. Belden For fourteen years Charles A. Belden has had contact with the students of Oneonta Senior High School. He has served as English and Latin teacher, boys' coun- selor, vice-principal, and for the last three years as our principal. Mr. Beldenis keen understanding of young people has won him student respect and friendship. He is never too busy to discuss a student's problems, give advice, and encouragement, or to laugh at a good joke. He radiates good will and under- standing throughout the school. Mr. Belden's personal interests are wide and varied. His love of nature is as great as his love of books. This range in interests broadens his understanding. THOSE WHO KEEP THE WHEELS MOVING il SMILING SECRETARIES. Miss Betty .lean Simmons and Mrs, Mildred Shaddock are always busy typing or mimeographing. but never too busy to give a tardy student a key to his homeroom. The Board of Education Our Board of Education is composed of six members. These members, appointed by the mayor, represent the citizens of Oneonta. They are responsible for the development, maintenance, and operation of the school plant. The members of the present Board of Education are: Frank Reardon, president: Dr. LeRoy House, Burton Hulbert, Mrs. Travilla Keen, Merrill Gibbs, and Robert Leamy. These members are divided into various committees, which are assigned special duties. At present the chief problem of the board is to select the site and draw the plans for a new six-year high school.

THE SENIOR CLASS of 1 Somewhat rusty after its summer's respite, a bell heralded the beginning of a new era. Wide swung the doors like welcoming arms, beckoning over their portals the possessors of the legion of eager feet, waiting in wonder and anticipation. Rapidly the corridors, once more seething with activity, came alive. Midst this clamor, the class of 1949 sent down its roots. Pecuniarily-minded that we were, our first en- terprise was a magazine sale campaign. When spending money would begin to evidence depletion, the class financiers, putting their heads together, could always conceive a brilliant scheme and For- tune would smile on most of our pocket-lining endeavors-specifically, the sophomore dance, the Junior Prom, and the Christmas card sale. After a half year of sophomore deliberation on the weighty perplexity of selecting a class adviser, we cast our ballots almost in unanimity for Uncle George Kershaw, who will always command warm spots in all our hearts. 949 As is true of all years, the apex of enthusiasm was evidenced at athletic contests. Marty Patton's gridiron boys took their tomahawks and war paint out of moth balls for a massacre of our Coopers- town rivals. The final chant was 52-0. As we approached the finale of our high school careers, we were seemingly lost in the montage of climactic cap and gown activities-senior ball and picnic, baccalaureate and commencement. Scant were the opportunities to reflect upon the things we were leaving-the familiar associationsg the many faithful teachers endeared to us, the innumer- able friends with whom we had worked and played, laughed and cried. As fond memories, they will serve us in the future. Though comparatively short has been our so- journ in OHS, we have grown to love and revere her. We are proud to call her, Alma Mater. Cherish we the hope that we, the class of 1949, will make her forever proud to call us her children GRACE ALLEY . . . ar: outdoor girl in the flesh . . . swim- averse to skating and square dancing . . . can even sew a fine ming and skating top her hit parade . . . dancing and bike- seam . . . destination: Building and Loan . . . you guessed it, riding, not far behind . . . no one-track mind though, makes secretarial work. with the tasty tidbits, cooking no less . . . goal: lofty ambition indeed, to be a doctor's wife.

Led by Drum Major Carl Hamlin, the Band, under the direction of Mr. Carmen Caiazza, marched on the following occasions: The Centennial, Flag Day, Armistice Day, Firemen,s Day, Decoration Day, and the Pet Parade. At the beginning of the year, the Band members sold mechanical pencils. The profits from this sale went into a fund to buy new uniforms. Later they held a dance which helped boost the fund.

Under this plan, students will rent their books rather than buy them, and receive admis- sion to most extra-curricular doings, all for a nominal sum. It has chartered buses for out-of-town games, sponsored the Queen of Heartsn dance, and chosen next year's paid assemblies. The Student Coun- cil has inaugurated an annual Trophy Week, in which all the trophies will be displayed in the hall show cases. IF I AM ELECTED.

Coach Mac MacLean 5- , if A Manager Joe Lunn FOOTBALL OHS gridsters began the season rather slowly. However, they soon smashed into the win column. Six lettermen bolstered the line-up, hut the majority of the backfield and line was inexperienced. After coming out of the Bingham- ton North-B game on top of a 6-0 score, the Hunt-men scored an upset over Vestal. Later the Blue and Gold ran up a record score of 52-0 against Cooperstown for possession of the newly introduced peacepipe. This year, the ball-toting honors go to Frank Wilsey, who traveled 4-47 yards, including an 84--yard touchdown run. for an average of 8 yards per smash.

Hazel Condon and Nancy Keenan let go two strikers. Bowling has really come into its own, despite its comparatively re- cent introduction into the OHS intra- mural program. Competition with other schools has been initiated and the girls are piling up some notable scores. GIRLS WATCH THOSE SHINS. Hockey steps into the limelight in the fall months. The gals delight in their bruises, 'cause it's all in the game. As in baseball and basketball, an All-Star Team is chosen at the end of the season. The participating brave souls usually 'lumber into the sixties. LET GO! Sally Ann Woolheater takes careful aim. Both a beginners' league and an advanced bowling league have been organized, each meeting once weekly. The eighty girls taking part are divided evenly between the two groups.

That deep, thoughtful expression might signify a chess game, but don't let her kid you. That ball is getting beaten to a pulp. WATCH THE BIRDIE. Shirley McPhail goes after it. She and Grace Dibble were the winners of the '48 bad- minton doubles. Elimination playing soon whittles the competing number down to crafty few. Matches are also held to determine the champion for the singles. LIBBY LEAPS Does it go over? Soon after basketball season the floor is cleared for volleyball4a game that calls for plenty of teamwork When everyone gets in there pitching, it's a mighty smooth performance.
