Music gives us that powerg the power to recall in our minds associations it has with events in our past. So it is that the 1948 Rocket presents this group of song titles, and seeks to portray, pictorially and through words, the meanings they hold for those who attended Panama during the past year. Perhaps these phrases and photographs will offer different mean- ings and lead to still further memories for each per- son who sees them. It is the sincere hope of the staff that these pages may serve as a musical bridge to the happenings, both great and small, that were a part of life at Panama Central during the 1947-48 term.

II ' ll GLASS HISTORY 0F '48 GRADE 1-One bright September morn in the year of 1936, all over the country millions of devoted mothers were saying Wet 'cgood-byes to their dear little Hermans, Susiebelles and Sniffles for this was the long awaited day when they were starting on that gloriously happy joumey to quench their longing for knowledge. Among these angelic little cherubs welcomed to Miss Stearn's loving arms, were Betty Samec, Wyona Dole, Lavina Eggle- ston, John Heslink, and Harold Weise who have remained faithfully together until this year. GRADES 2-3-We escaped safe and sane, not to mention Miss Stearn's con- dition from the first grade and stayed in the same room for the second and third grades. Here our ranks were augmented by Jackie Sard. GRADE 4-Surprisingly enough the next fall we found ourselves in the fourth grade room under the understanding guidance of Miss Hinckley. We welcomed Anne Button to the class. GRADE 5-Well, what do you know another promotion! This is a sur- prise., But oh, what a pleasant one. We acquired a new teacher, Mir. John- son and welcomed Anna Wo-zowicz, Norma LeRoy, David Lindberg, and Ernest Blyth. GRADE 6-In this year, the last of our grade school year fwe hopej we were joined by Richard Sweeney, thus enlarging our ranks and providing a little more trouble for Mr. Powell, but he could handle us. GRADE 7-We came, we saw, we conquered grade school and charged into the glorious state of being in Junior High. We acquired a new teacher, Mr. Dix. GRADE 8-We have now mastered another notch in the ladder of education and have another new teacher, Mr. Erb. GRADE 9-This year we were under the guidance of Mrs. Griffin. We acquired a new student, Arlene Chapman. GRADE 10-Oh! Senior High at last. This was worth waiting for! Miss Covel was our teacher. Officers for the year are as follows: Richard Sweeney, President, Arlene Chapman, Vice President, Harold Weise, Secretary, and Wyona Dole, Treasurer. GRADE ll-This year we were in care of Mr. Kunkle. We acquired a new student, Margaret Dobson. The following ofiicers were elected: John Hes- link, President, David Lindberg, Vice President, Richard Sweeney, Secre- tary and Harold Weise Treasurer. GRADE 12-Are we here already? This long worked for goal that seemed so-o-o far away at the beginning has finally been reached. We are under .

It can tell you whatever your soul desires to know. I have been asked to search in its magic depths until I discover the future that awaits the members of our class, so soon to take their separate ways and, perhaps, never to be reunited. I am about to read the crystal, but before doing so, may I ask for your earnest cooperation? If you will but remain absolutely silent and join me in concentrating upon the future, leaving your mind wiped free of all conflicting impressions, I can promise you the information desired. I thank you. The mist is clearing. A village scene appears. I see a church. The bells are ringing. It is Sunday morning. The people are coming to the service. I see the minister- a fine-looking man, and by his side walks his wife. Her face is turned away, but I see it is some one we know. The con- gregation greet them cordially. They are much loved. Now she turns: I see her face. It is Wyoruz Dole. She looks very happy and appears to be an ideal minister's wife. The scene changes. It is a large city. We are in the business district. I am loo-king at a large factory. It has a huge electric sign reading, '4Weise's Best Toilet Soaps. Thousands of men are leaving, for the six o'clock whistle has just blown. Last of all, the owner comes from his oflice. He has grown portly, and gray about the temples, but he is as immaculate as a toilet soap manufacturer should be. His motto, carved above his ollice door, is, I keep the world clean. The clouds lift again. It is nine o'clock on a May morning. The school bells are ringing. Tiny kindergarten children are hurrying up the walk to greet their teacher. She stands in the door, daintily dressed. As she leans forward to take the flowers a little girl has brought her, I see her smiling face. It is Anna Wozowicz. And now the scene grows strange. An orchestra is seated awaiting the signal to play, but there is not a sound. Ah, I see a microphone. It is the broadcasting room of a radio station. A voice says, '4Quiet. We're on the air. A switch is turned, an announcement is made, and the orchestra begins to play a merry, fantastic dance tune. The leader introduces a de- lightful baritone solo into the midst of the selection. I see him clearly. It is Duane Bergstrom, the radio favorite of the decade. The scene shifts to the display room of a large gown establishment. A fashion show is in progress. I watch the manikins strut about the platform. One of them is exceptionally graceful and wears her evening gown well. It is Arlene Chapman, the chief manikin or model of the establishment. The mists blot out the scene, and when they clear away, the ground is covered with ice and snow. The wind wails through the tall sentinel pines. A figure rides towards me. He wears a stunning uniform. He looks hand- 18 some, and he seems to know it. He stops his horse and reads a sign offering many thousand dollars reward for the capture of a murderer at large in the Canadian forests. He smiles and says Lathe mounties always get their manf, He is one of those romantic heroes, a Northwest mounted policeman. As he rides nearer, I recognize him. It is john Heslink, handsomer than ever. The scene becomes noisy. Buzzings and ringings fill the ear. I see a long room around the sides of which are seated many girls. It is a tele- phone office. And the head operator is Betty Samec. I knew her as soon as she said, 4'Line's busy. She always did spend most of her time telephoning and seems to have concluded she might as well make money at it. How strange! I see a room in great disorder and a man down on all fours, looking at the rug through a magnifying glass. In one pocket is a notebook labeled Clues In the other is a pair of handcuffs. He acts very peculiarly. Now he rises. He turns toward me, and I recognize him. It is Ernest Blythe. This is the result of the mystery stories he was always read- ing. He is now a detective. ,- And now I see a huge restaurant. It is the opening day and the dining room is overflowing with people. The owner of the restaurant, Earl Crosby is attempting to get the crowd,s attention. When everything is quiet he makes a brief Welcome after which he calls attention to the beautiful flowers and other decorations, saying that they were the gift of Norma Le- Roy, now the leading florist of the town. I remember her exquisite taste in decorations in years gone by and am not at all surprised. I I hear tinkling guitars and the surf breaking on a coral strand. I see bright-hued blossoms and tall palm trees. Happy brown-skinned people are singing plaintive melodies. A figure approaches under a huge white parasol. It is a young woman. She seats herself under a palm tree and closes her eyes. I watch her closely. Suddenly, as a parrot calls 'loudly from the tree top, she looks up and I see her face. It is jackie Sarrl. In her hand is a tourist's guide book and in her bag is a ticket for a world cruise. She is seeing the world, as she always said she would. Again the mists close down. When they rise again, it is three o'clock in the morning. A huge truck comes down the city street and pauses at the janitor's entrance of each apartment house. A man delivers a rack of milk bottles and drives on down the street. It is Hollis Morton, proprietor and owner of a large dairy farn1, making the delivery himself, just for fun. I remember that in the old days he always liked to sit up all night, and that undoubtedly explains his choice of occupation. More clouds and mists. 'Gazing through them, I see that we are still in the city. It is the interior of a large public building-the library. Seated at her desk is the reference librarian, but she is not doing research work for anyone now. She is reading the latest novel and letting those who search for information, wait. She is our old friend, Anne Button. Trust her to find a way for reading all the new books as soon as they come out. And now I see a lovely college town. There is a vast crowd in the chapel. A new president of the college is being inaugurated. Here he fContinued on Page 391 t 19 J amiga and. warmer GLASS WILL WE the Class of 1948, being is an good mental condition as usual, and in much better temper than common, do hereby make this, our last will and testament, rendering void and of no avail any former will or wills that may have been previously made by us during a period of temporary optimism. To Jane Perkins we leave Anna Wozowicz's shy and quiet manners. To Russell Smith we leave John Heslink's ability in basketball. We leave Norma LeBoy's high marks to Betty Skinner. We leave a little of Dick Sweeney's weight to Lawrence Yeager. To Mr. Pegan we leave another sterling Senior English Class. We leave Wyona Dole's ability in basketball to Carol Charles. Betty Samec leaves her Mpositionw in the cafeteria to any one who is capable. Margaret Dobson leaves her Hgift of gab' to Joyce Eggleston. Anne Button leaves her singing ability to Mary Cable. Earl Crosby lavs his quiet ways to Lorraine Johnson. Harold Weise leaves his long legs to Tommy Smith. Arlene Chapman leaves her charming smile to Martha Johnson, Lavina Eggleston leaves her friendliness to the Class of 1949. Duane Bergstrom leaves his good looks to Dan Clancy. Phyliss Hillyer leaves her size nine dress to Betty Wfhitter. Ernest Blyth leaves his checked shirts to Hugh Wood. Hollis Morton leaves his blown out truck muffler to Don McNitt. Jackie Sard will gladly leave her tardy marks to Jane Heslink. The Seniors leave all their high marks to the Class of 1949. To the Sophomore class we leave our patience to endure the class ol' 1949. Phyliss Button leaves her long hair to Ruby Smith. David Lindberg leaves his profile to Jimmy Hallquist. To the Freshmen we leave our ideals to carry them through the next three years. -J.S., D.B.

We acquired quite a list of new students: Hollis Morton, Earl Crosby, and Duane Bergstrom. ' We chose as our class colors blue and white and the red rose as our class flower. The two who carried the class honors are Norma LeRoy, valedictorian, and our salutatorian, Wyona Dole. The ofiicers for the year are as 1' ollows: John Heslink, President, Wyona Dole, Vice President, Arlene Chapman, Secretaryg Norma LeRoy, Treasurer.

U TA T 0 R Y Parents, Teachers, Friends: We, the class of l948, welcome you to our com- mencement program. We are proud that we have reached the goal toward which we have worked for twelve years. lt is a milestone in life that many classes before us have attained, but to each class and each individual in that class, it is a great occa- sion, one of the brightest spots in all our lives and bound to live forever in our memories. To you, it may be but a pleasant place to be amused for an hour, and while the time away, to us, it is a gleaming milestone along the journey of life, and the interest you show in us by coming WYONA DOLE to bid us Godspeed on the way is most deeply and truly appreciated. To those of you who have a personal interest in us as the boys and girls you have seen grow up from infancy, it means, of course far more than to the chance guest to whom we appear as strangers. We are but a small class of nineteen youth taking a big step forward into tomor- row. Uniting hand in hand, not one before anotherf, in that tomorrow, we can show the power of a mighty force, Youth! The many values we have gained from our school years, will enable us to have confidence in ourselves as we take this' step. Through the careful counseling of Mr. Leflingwell and Mr. Green, and a well- trained faculty, we have been led onward to the goal of receiving our diplomas this evening. The excellent school and faculty we have associated with for twelve years and the friendships we have made, all played a part in making those years in school a memorable and happy experience, yes, l say memorable and happy because it really was that to me. As we look back over the past few years, many happy hours in P. C. S. come into our minds. The trying time we had in learning the multiplication tables in fourth grade, an essay in English class or a debate in Social Studies class comes back now. Perhaps an incident from gym class, a song from an operetta, a scene from a play or an unforgetable basketball game comes to mind. Whether it was the meeting of a new teacher or the organizing of the school yearbook, all these events played a part in making these years something we'll never forget. The assurance of your good wishes for our future success means much to us. You have followed our trouble and our triumphs during our school years with sincere interest and you are a sharer in our happiness tonight. Your friendliness has been an inspiration and a comfort to us in the past, and we are relying upon it for aid in the future. We are glad to have you here to join in our celebration and we hope that the program will be one of genuine interest and pleasure to you. In the name of the class of 1948, I extend to you all a most cordial welcome. --Wyona Dole. 21 V I-l L E D I C T 0 R Y Parents, Teachers and Friends: We who stand tonight at the meeting between a happy past and an unknown future have reached not the end, but the commencement of our lives. Wha those lives are to be, depends in a large meas- ure upon the foundations we have built for them in our years at school. The end of our school days are happy days, not because we have finished our lessons but happy because we have reached the commencement of the greatest learning period in our lives. However, beneath all our happy thoughts we find a tiny spark of sadness in our h-earts. The association with our school pals, and the fun of being in school activities are gone and all that remains is a hollow, empty NORDIA LeROY . feeling of unpreparedness. There lies much responsibility for us in the world which we are about to enter. The problems of today are of vital importance and they will require much thought on our part. It is our duty as citizens of this great country to do our best to help keep a peaceful world. We must practice 6'Good Willi' at home and abroad in order to reach this goal. Tonight we are at the forks of the road, as our own country is at the uforksn in world affairs. We, as well as our country, must choose the road which offers the most for us. Many of us who are graduating here tonight do not know for sure which fork we will take, but l know you will wish with me that each and everyone of us may choose one which leads to success and happiness. Our ideas of roads have changed. At one time a crossroad was two paths cross- ing in the forest. Today it may be a teeming airport, with airlines to every important city in the world. The range of choice is greater. We must be better informed to be able to make a wise choice. Only a few years ago our circle of friends extended per- haps within a ten mile radius. Today it is possible for the world to be our neighbor- hood, now we must be able to Mget alongii with people of different color, different language, different race and different ideals. We realize that these roads are not all smooth and easy to travel, but that they are rough and full of pitfalls into which we may fall if we are not wide awake and intelligent. The privilege of graduating here tonight has been granted to us by many people. We owe our greatest debt to our parents. You, who have sacrificed many pleas- ures and luxuries in order that we might have a chance to receive the education which many of you were denied the privilege to obtain. To our faculty we owe another great debt. You have been more patient with us than most people could have been, and you have always been willing to help us and guide us through our school years. It is our hope that by being successful in the years to come, we can reflect credit on you and our school. We would like to thank the people of this community for giving us this building and for taking such an interest in our activities and our work. To the Board of Education we extend our thanks for letting us use this building for our class activities. 22, When the curtain falls tonight we cease to exist as a high school class and it becomes my duty to say farewell Classmates, we may say farewell, yet there is no farewell between us. As we go the different ways in the days to come we will be always held together through the bright days and th dark days by the common pos- session of principles and ideals taught us in this school.

He is received with marked enthusiasm and appears to be enjoying himself immensely. It if, cur studious schoolmate, Richard Sweeney. Wouldn't you expect him to be a college President? ' I hear music- circus music. Then on a darkened stage in the spot- light appears a dainty figure, kissing her hand to the audience as an at- tendant arranges a wire across the stage. My goodness! It's Margaret Dobson, who always said she would be a dancer in a circus. She has cer- tainly kept her word, for she gives a wonderful performance. She is known as the most clever wire dancer in the world. Wliat 'a salary she must get! I In the cool, clear waters of the North Sea I see a yacht lying at anchor. Across its deck, sailors are completing the day's cleaning. The -brass rails shine like gold, and the deck chairs are luxuriously upholstered. This yacht must belong to a millionaire. It's name, HThe Panamanian, makes me think the owner must be an acquaintance of ours. A very substantial figure now appears onedeckand scans 'his surroundings with an approving eye. He beckons to a steward and says, '6Tell the Captain we'1l sail for Panama tomorrow. I have some old friends there I'd like to see before I start round the world againf' I know his voice. This is a friend of ours. It is David Lindberg, a multi-millionaire. But something is happening. A crowd of people are coming on deck. It is a year later, he' has been home and brought his old friends back with him for a cruise, I see them all- every one of his classmates. They look prosperous and happy. Laoina Eggleston looks a trifle seasick, but I re- member that excursions of any sort always made her ill. They are sitting down to afternoon tea. The sea is smooth and green, and the yacht moves over the waves like a huge sea gull. The owner is smiling upon his guests and telling them how happy he is to have 'them all with him on a cruise around the world. The sun sets and the light fades gradually. A purple haze covers everything, the crystal clouds, and I can see no more.

HONOR SDGIETY THE Panama Pi liho Chapter of the National Honor Society of Secondary Schools was organized with five members and one probationary member. Final approval was received May 18, 1948. The Charter members selected by a faculty committee were: Norma LeRoy, Wyona Dole, Richard Price, Mary Cable, Richard Dole, and Arlene Kent. Since a sophomore cannot be a full member Arlene Kent ranks as a probationary member for one year. Mrs. Helen Johnson was appointed faculty sponsor of the local chapter. The National Honor Society was organized by the National Association of Secondary School Principals in l92l to stimulate scholarshilp and recog- nize the qualities of leadership, service and character in the students of our secondary schools. There are now over 3300 chapters located in all the states of the Union. The local members were formally received into the society at an im- pressive ceremony in the presence of the faculty and student body. The otlicial tapping exercises were carried out by representatives of the Kappa Alpha Tau Chapter of the Jamestown Senior High School under the sponsorship of Miss Hattie Boak. Each member of the Chapter was presented a certificate of membership and an emblem bearing the insignia of the society. This emblem when Worn by a student distinguishes him as one who has been outstanding in scholar- ship, service, leadership and character. And this emblem will be recognized as a symbol of honor throughout the whole nation. 42 Seated-Mary Cable, Bob Johnson, Lorraine Johnson, Minnebelle Perkins, Martha Johnson, Carl .lohnso .

LOVE PIRATES DF HAWAII THIS presentation of the operetta ulsove Pirates of Hawaii was one of the larger accomplishments of the chorus of 1947-48. The operetta was presented twiceg a matinee and an evening perform- ance were given. Both were exceptionally well attended. Dan Clancy, as tthe fierce, wild, pirate chief becomes a captive of Miss Priemer being played by Wyona Dole, who gave a splendid performance. The role of Dorothy Dear an American girl in Miss Prirneris school was portrayed very capably by Anne Button. Dorothy throughout waits patient- ly for her lieutenant to come for her. This part was very realistically played by Duane Bergstrom. Other solos were sung by Arelene Chapman, Phyllis Button and Robert Davis. A ballet dance in the beautiful Hawaiian setting added greatly to the operetta. Supporting the entire success of the production were Mrs. Button, the directorg Mrs. Dunn who helped with costumes and the two student directors, Phyllis Hyller and Hugh Wood. All participants should be congratulated on their splendid performance which was enjoyed by all who witnessed the production. 45 PEP BAND First Row-Cynthia Sard, Kathleen Erb, Joan Dix.

Composed of a majority of eighth graders, the Panther Cubs were on the average much smaller than their opponents. Depending mainly on speed, aggressiveness, and ball-handling to give 'them the needed edge, they swept through to victory in the majority of their games, although a number of these wins were by narrow margins. Wallace Seeley, rangy center, was high scorer for the year with Ross Abers and Don Kent, guards, and Cliff Sweet and Durwood Swanson, for- wards, at the other regular posts. Scoring by these four was fairly evenly distributed. Adam Wozowicz, Ralph Nichols, Joe Edwards, Ken Johnson, Bill Sard, Dick McDowell, and Charles Dole saw more or less action in substitute roles.

JUNIOR VARSITY EXPERIENCE was the item which was stressed on the Junior Varsity bas- ketball squad during the 1947-48 season. An average of twelve players saw action in each game throughout the year-a fact well to be considered, since few of them played to any great extent last year. The starting five was made up of Bob Johnson, Don Oviatt, Charles Lord, Dan Reppert and Hugh Wood for the first part of the year. Russell Smith who had been injured during ffootball season started in the third game. Later in the season Dick Faulkner and Norm Kohl were also moved up to the starting five. The rest of squad consisted of Clifford Reardon, Lowell Green, Rush Chapman, Don Hamilton, John Kent, Elmer Vander Kooi, Neil Derby, and Dick lVlcEntarfer. The Blue and White won two of their first three games, but later they met stiffer opposition and as a result they were victorious in only two others during the remainder of the season. Two of their losses were by one basket margins, however. . The experience gained by the entire squad should provide better varsity material for the next two years.

VARSITY BASKETBALL-1947-48 PANAlVlA,S Panthers had a successful year on the hardwood this season, winning ten of fifteen games played, and outscoring their opponents by a total of 549 points to 410. This was the best year from the standpoint of games won and points scored since the centralization of the school. The Blue and White opened the season auspiciously, defeating Forest- ville by an easy margin and continuing on to win the first five games. The team played their best brand of ball, seemingly, in the Clymer games and against non-league opponents as evidence by their play in the Forestville and Cassadaga Valley encounters. Hopes for a berth in the county playoffs were high until late in the season when the team met Sherman at Panama, losing an overtime struggle 40 to 38. This loss dropped the Panthers from a tie for MCH class honors in the Western League. With any break at all and barring the loss of two regulars via the foul route, Panama might well have won the game. As it was, the team was again the only MCU school in Western New York to come close to defeating Sherman, which won the Section HC class championship for the second year and had not lost a game to any HCP school in two seasons. Panama reached its top .form of the season in the second games against Clymer and Forestville, winning these contests by 44-33 and 53-28 margins. The boys then gave Mayville, the league winners, a real battle before losing out in the closing minutes to their larger opponents who had an unusual 56 height advantage. The Panama defense weakened noticeably in the final minutes of this game after a nip and tuck battle until the final three minutes. Boys who earned their letters this year included regulars Dick Price, John Heslink, Dan Clancy, Dick Dole, Duane Bergstrom, and Carl Johnson, Harold Weise, and Russell Smith. Dick Sweeney was team manager and John Heslink, veteran guard, was elected honorary captain for the year. Dick Price with 163 points was high scorer for the season, followed hy Dan Clancy with 125. h Interest in basketball on the part of the fans was very high with large crowds in attendance for every game. The gym was filled to capacity partic- ularly for the Clymer, Sherman and Mayville games.

BASEBALL PANAMA had a large turnout for baseball this year but chances looked dim as the team lacked an experienced hurler. Dan Clancy and Dick Dole were broken in at the position and as a result did a fine job of pitching. Bob Johnson showed himself capable as a receiver. John Heslink, an infielder was elected honorary captain, and for the regular season batted 500. Dan Clancy and Don Oviott followed Heslink in batting averages. Duane Berg- strom, Don Oviatt and Norman Kohl were infielders who made a good show- ing for themselves. Dick Price, Charles Lord, Russell Smith, Dave Lind- berg, and Wallace Seeley, played the outfield. Dick Price and Dan Clancy succeeded in knocking a home run. This season Panama won 6 out of 7 league games and tied with Sher- man, and Frewsburg for the Western League Championship.

Harold Davis and Don Oviatt were the only vet- erans from the previous year's team. Due to sickness the Blue and White played hardly a game with all regulars present. Another handicap was the injury of Russell Smith, a promising end, who was disabled early in the season. Harold Davis, a postgraduate joined the team in the second game, and Dan Clancy entered in mid-season. Only one victory was registered during the year but in many of the games, two touchdowns could have meant victory. The one decision was over Ripley's Eagles. Letter men thisryear included the following: Duane Johnson, Charles Lord, Dan Clancy, Harold Davis, Don-'Oviatt, Dick Price, Dick Sweeney. Russell Smith, Dick Dole, Norman Kohl, Dan Reppert, Clifford Reardon, and Carl Johnson. The first seven of these, saw the most action. Dick Price was elected honorary captain and Richard Mclifnterfer served as manager. E Prospects are good and everyone is hoping for a much brighter season next year.
