Volume VII FOREWURD It is our purpose in presenting this Ovidian to show the work our school is doing in helping to make us ood A g merican citizens. Enlightened by the broad rays of the torch of freedom, the heritage of all Americans, we go forth to take our place in a war torn, weary world, perplexed with many problems. May we realize our duties and responsibilities, and carry on the lessons taught us in Ovid Central so that we may do our share to make a better world. L- X IPLQS-12.44 CONTENTS DEDIC ATION STAFF ADMINISTRATION SENIORS C LASSE S AC TIVITIE S HUMOR ADVERTISING 2 DEDICATION Our attention is focused on two teachers who have meant much to us in our school days. Miss Kinnan will always stand out in our mem- ory as a second mother. It was she who guided us in the first steps of our educational journey, teach- ing us the three R's, encouraging us, playing with us, understanding our place in the realm of child- hood and loving us, whether we were good or naughty. We shall always remember her pleasant smile and her happy philosophy of life, As she re- tires from teaching, our best wishes for many good things in life go with her. Coach Clark has worked long hours with us, both in and out of school, teaching us lessons in good sportsmanship. His championship teams have made us proud of our athletic prowess and appreciative of the one who has made such achievements possible. It is to these two teachers that we, the class t of 1947, gratefully dedicate this volume' of the Ovidian. 3 YEARBOOK STAFF Editor In Chief Associate Editors Business Manager Advertising Literary Editors Art Editors Sports Editors Humor Editors Typists Faculty Advisors Jean Nicholson Beryl Schaeffer Hazel Mac Cheyne Barbara Clarke lean Sweet james Nicholson William Tripp William Latimer Sally Williams Virginia Mathews Floyd Covert Edward Mc Ardle James Ferguson Ann Morrissey Joyce Braisington Ioan Sincebaugh Barbara Withiam Mary Terryberry lane Gatens jean Dox Mrs. Franklin Miss Crooker Mr. Wilson, ab.

We would also want you to know and remember that your school has been anxious for you throughout your school life. We know as you go through life you will need to make decisions that are concerned with right and wrong. Your school has wanted to help you learn the difference between the two of them and to develop your character. We hope we have helped you in knowing how to get the most out of life and be a credit to your com- munity, State and Nation. We hope we have helped you to know how to get along with other people and how to use your leisure time well. We have wanted you to grow socially as we know the more real friends you make, the more happiness you will have. We have aimed toward preparing you to be good citizens in the America of tomorrow so that you can help keep the nation strong and preserve the American type of freedom, so necessary to your happiness. Remember always then, if you are able to make wise decisions for your country, if you are patriotic enough to be interested in good government, and if you use good judgment in selecting the best officials, you will help make your community, State and Nation strong. 7 FACULTY Front row: Mr. Hughes, Mr. Whitehead, Mr. Iacoby, Dr. Brownell, Mr. Brokaw, Mrs. Depew, Mr. Leet, Mr. Clark, Mr. Wilson, Miss Kinnan.

OUR SCHOOL OUR SECRETARY 8 GUI DANCE - What subjects must I take for engineering? What must I study before I can go to a nursing school? Where is a good school for air conditioning? ' Will you please explain the results of the last tests we took? What subjects should I take next year? These and similar questions are familiar ones in the Guidance office. The Guidance Department attempts to help students help themselves. For this it is important to know the pupil and his abilities, to know opportunities which exist, and to help the pupil to fit together his abilities and opportimities. Finding out about abilities is done through various tests, such as academic ability tests and reports of extracurricular activities, self- rating summaries, and teachers' reports of progress and general personality development. All this information is kept in a folder which is begun for each pupil when he en- ters school and is added to each year until he leaves. Much of this information is interpreted to the pupil, especially in high school, in individual conferences with the counselor. The occupational information file and the educational information file and the bookshelf in the Guidance office enable pupils to learn of the world of work, training necessary for various jobs, financial assistance available for post-high school training, and personality development. High school pupils also have the op- portunity to learn on Saturdays to nearby schools and colleges. This year trips included visits to Syracuse University, Cornell University, State Teachers Colleges at Geneseo, Cortland and Buffalo, Central City Bus- iness Institute fSyracusel, Rochester Business Institute, beauty culture schools in Rochester, University of Rochester, and the Institute of Applied Arts and Sciences at Utica. Bulletins posted in the Guidance office and homerooms and a 15-page booklet, You, also serve to keep pupils informed about the importance of self-analysis and means of finding opportunities which are open for those of verying interests and talents. The guidance program is an attempt to gather together all the information the school has about each pupil and then help him to find the best answer to the question, How can I get the most out of Life? ' 9 MAINTENANCE Here's a threesome worth looking at - Messrs. Ackerman, Purcell and Woodington. They keep our building spic and span, see that we are com- fortable winter and summer fat least they say the heat control is perfect D do various kinds of re- pair work, and at last, but not least, advise the faculty! How fortunate we gave them a few min- utes off to be snapped for the yearbook. .11-, This is our maintenance staff. First on the list we find the cafeteria personnel. Mrs. Stout, with Miss Stanton's assistance, plans the cafe- teria menus, seeing that we have a well balanced lunch and one which is well cooked and attract- ively arranged. Mrs. Predmore assists Mrs. Stout, while Mrs. Purcell is cashier. Look happy, don't they? I-Iere's to them and the good work they are doing. Here are the bus drivers ready for action. john Covert seems to be absent, but the other five - Les Conkling, Fred Austin, Paul McMillen, Don Bradley and Seeley Brewer are ready to lead us on board and take us home all safe and sound. Dad and Mom tell us they used to have to walk to school, but we're living in a modern age of A - bombs, school buses and bubble gum!

ROY HELANDER A Mighty Man is He Major: Agriculture cnt Transferred in Senior year from Haareh High School, New York 1 y. 18 HISTORY In September nineteen forty-four we entered the Ovid Central School with a class membership of 38. Our Freshman officers were: Gordon Blade, President: Iane Shaw, Vice-President: and James Bradley, Secretary. Student Coimcil representatives were: Edward McArdle and Barbara Clarke. In our Freshman year we all became acquainted with Miss Maxmix, our truly capable advisor. Through her aid and guidance we are the proud class of '4'7. Our only activity was to hold a bake sale in order to contribute to the yearbook fund. Iimior High Commencement was held in Iune and we received our certificates of pro- motion to Senior High School. As Sophomores, we were under the guidance of Mrs. Depew, who proved loyal and very much interested in our class. There were 44 members in our class that year. Our Sophomore officers were: Barbara Clarke, President, lane Gatens, Vice-Pres- identg Shirley Fulton, Secretary: and Ioyce Braisington, Treasurer. Student Council re- presentatives were: Marjorie Peterson and Merle White. One of our members, Jack Gallipeau, left us for the Navy during that year. We were all busy our Junior year making money to contribute to the yearbook fund. Mrs. Ditmars, our Class Advisor, was a great help in planning our acitivities. In October we held a Vic dance and inlanuary we were in Charge of Assembly. Our presentation of And the Light Went Out was extremely amusing and enjoyed by everyone. Our class officers were: Edward McArdle President, James Ferguson, Vice-Pres- identg Ioe McDonald, Secretary. There were 385 members. Student Council representa- tives this year were: james Bradley and Shirley Fulton. Our Senior rings came just before Christmas. Some Christmas present! We had our junior prom in March and we all worked hard to make it a success. In Iune we sponsored the Senior Ball and it was the last big school event. As Seniors we elected: Herbert Watson, President: James Ferguson, Vice-President: and Edward McArdle, Secretary and Treasurer. To the Student Council we sent john Ed- wards and Sally Williams. Senior Honor Students are: Barbara Clarke, Valedictoriang jean Nicholson, Saluta- toriang Virginia Mathews, Third Honor: Barbara Withiam, Fourth Honor. Our Senior Play The Nutt Family was quite a success. All members of the class helped with the play, which was capably directed by Miss Crooker, assisted by Mr. The net proceeds received from the play, to be used for the yearbook fimd, was This year as in others the boys of our class again proved outstanding in sports. Among them were: Bill Van Nostrand, Ioe McDonald, jimmy Bradley, Mark Carroll. We had outstanding cheerleaders who should receive special credit. They were: lean Nicholson, Sally Williams and Ann Morrissey. Barbara Clarke was manager of the Senior magazine campaign. From this we earned S153.00. This also has been contributed toward our yearbook. This year three ex-servicemen joined our class to catch-up on their lmowledge. The are: Iolm Edwards, Herbert Watson, and Roy Helander. Iimmy Lewis left us this year for the service. The personal cards came February 35 the Senior home room was a confusion of cards and thank you s. The Senior pictures were taken February 5, and all the Seniors were present and very much dressed up. May we all be worthy representatives of our beloved Ovid Central School and make commendable use of the training we have received. 19 PROPHECY Announcing OVID HIGH ALUMNI DINNER June 28, 1956 9:00 P.M. The Stork Club Who could that glamorous dollie be coming through the door? ? ? Well if it isn't Arm Queenie Morrisey. As everyone knows she is featured on Broadway in Billy KRoseJ Latimer's follies of 1956. We all know that Bill is not only a C.P.A. on Wall Street in New York City but also runs these shows on the sly. Who are those two athletic looking boys who just came in? I know, it s those two star forwards of the Rochester Royals playing at Madison Square Garden tomorrow night: Bill lset-shotl VanNostrand and Jim lpush-lt-upj Bradley. These two got their inspiration to play pro-ball from playing high school basketball at Ovid - the best team in the Finger Lakes' League. Look who has just entered: it's Mickey fComo-James! Carroll and his featured singer, Sally CShapeJ Williams, now appearing at the Roof Garden of the Hotel'Statten in this city. These two people have certainly come quite a way since we knew them in high school. Rumors are flying about that they will be going to Hollywood soon to make their first mo- vie together. Let's look for that fellow in the flashy cabbie's uniform. There he is. It's Joe Mac Donald Il He certainly has done quite well for himself, considering he has one of the largest taxi services ln N.Y.C. We were informed that his assistant, Joan Slncebaugh, takes care of the business department for him. She also has a part-time job. She is fea- tured as the star singer at the Club 109. Here come two people who cou1dn't bear to leave dear old Ovid. Herbie fAtlasJ Watson and Jean Nicholson. Jean is head of the Science Department and Herbie is head of the Physical Education Department. It was Jean who developed the new ,H2sO4 resistant blouse. Some of our guests are already seated. Among them are those two handsome marines, James Ferguson and Edward McArdle. When these two retire from service we expect they will take over Boyce's Garage as co-partners in Ovid, New York. How about that June? ? ? ? There seems to be quite a bit of confusion over there ln the corner. Let's see what it is all about. Well if it isn't Bill Golsonj Tripp .... big minstrel show producer, talking to two of his stars, Jean lMamieJ Sweet and James Nicholson, about a new show that will play on Broadway soon. As we all know, these three very famous people got their inspir- ation from their Senior Play at Ovid High, named the NUTT FAMILY. We sometimes wonder if it didn't go to their heads? ? ? Hummmml Someone is taking flashbulb pictures. Why it's Bill Neal. He really doesn't have to do that. He is head of a large newspaper syndicate. He also has.two cub reporters and guess who they are. None other than Janie Gatens a.nd Joyce Braislngton, who are out getting scoops for him to put in his paper. These two we know are going to make good ln the news- paper business. Who are those men with the dirty overalls? Well, I'll be a grease monkey's uncle. It's Ronald Swlck and David Hayes. We heard that they've opened Swlck and Hayes' 24 hours service station. Ronnie does the mechanical work and David takes care of the customers. My, doesn't that food smell delicious? No wonder. Look who the chefs are - Mary Terryberry and Hazel McCheyne. We hear they got all their ideas from experimenting around in the Homemaking room while still in high school. We often wonder if that was why they had to build a new school? ? ? ? ? 20 2 Here come some more celebrities. That s Roy Helander, conductor of the Ovid Phil- harmonic Orchestra. He is with Virginia Mathews, his leading soprano. In private life, however, she is just a housewife, but Roy is one of Ovid's most prominent bachelors. Let's visit those two ladies sitting at the center table. I wonder who they can be? It's those two famous hat designers from Chicago - Barbara 1HopperJ Withiam and Beryl Schaeffer. They are in New York to display their styles in the Fashion Show of 1956. Why is that ma.n over there near the entrance eyeing us so suspiciously? Oh - I recog- nize him now. That's I. fHooverl Edwards, Chief o the F. B. I. He has to look over the crowd to see if there are any suspicious characters here. Standing beside him is his con- fidential secretary, lean Dox. She holds quite an honored position. Guess whom we have as one of the guest speakers tonight, none other than that famous woodman and fisherman from Canada: Merle lBull's-eyej White, who will speak on The Dangers of Hunting and How to Guard Against Them. Ssh. The Master of Ceremonies is trying to get our attention. It's time for the speaker The program says that, Barbara Clarke, the great reformer, is going to speak on ' 'The Evils of Cokes a.nd luke Boxes. 21 ISN'T Lovm GRAND?

November 4, 1946 was a very happy day for the Juniors. We ordered our Senior rings. Our activities of the year began with a Halloween Dance. The Community Recreation Committee helped us to make it a community affair and hired Bob Linton's orchestra for the occasion. While the dancing was going on in the auditorium , various games were played in different rooms. The party was a huge success. March was a very busy month for us Juniors and we looked for- ward to it for a long time. Our Junior Prom was held on March 14, 1947 and three, one act plays on April 25th. We are all looking forward to being Seniors next year. 28 SOPHOMORES Front row: I.Mannix, R.Holmes, R.Voorhees, D.Caulum, R.Homyack, E.Vreela.nd, M.Lynch, S.Lynch, I.Whitney, W.Sweet.
