That is true of a stu- dent, too. We really appreciate the untiring efforts of our cafeteria staff to provide tasty lunches for us. The staff is faced with the problem of preparing sufficient food to satisfy the appetites, varied as they are, of all the hungry pupils who eat in the cafeteria. Yet, when the twelve o’clock bell rings and the big rush for the line is on, there the food is—ready for us. With the cafeteria at our service we no longer need to carry clumsy lunch boxes to school and eat cold lunches. Those piping-hot meals on a cold day surely taste good! The service is economical, too. Most of us would be lost without the con- venience of the cafeteria. Straight from the hearts of the seniors goes a vote of thanks to each and every member of the staff. !

If you can imagine driving a load of overexuberant pupils over “bumpy” roads two and sometimes three times a day, or if you can imagine driving home a load of victorious ball players, cheerleaders, and rooters who continue their “yells” long after the game is over, then you can well realize why nerves of steel and deaf ears are the bus drivers’ greatest assets. We realize that they go through much for us, and in gratitude we say to them, “Thanks a million!” Custodians We wonder sometimes how many of the pu- pils realize the important role our custodians play in the spick and span appearance of our school. When students from other schools come here to dances, games, or entertainments, they are quick to notice and make favorable comments about the cleanliness and neatness of the building and grounds. No matter what time of day or what day of the week you might happen to be near the school, you will find one or more of our faithful friends, the custodians, busily cleaning up after us. We take this opportunity to express our appreciation to them for a job unusually well done. Kneeling, left to right: Mr. Howard, Mr. Pendergast. Standing, left lo right: Mr. C. Bur- ton. Mr. Myers.

An important event in the activities of the senior class is now, and has been for the last two years, the National Honor Society induction ceremony. This year the ceremony was con- ducted by three former members: Walden Mac- Pherson, Irene Doyle, and Dorothy Pulver. To be a member of this society a candi- date must, be in the upper third in his class. Leadership, Service, and Character are qualifi- cations in addition to Scholarship. The selec- tion of members is determined by a faculty committee, and the number of students selected is based upon the size of the class. The keystone with flaming torch is the emblem of the society. The letters C, S, L, and S at the base of the keystone represent the principles of the society, while the flaming torch is the emblem of its purposes: to search for the light of truth, to lead the way for oth- ers to follow that light, to keep a high ambi- tion burning for the steadfast values of life, and to serve, in consideration of others. Six seniors were selected for membership in the society this year. They were Joyce Hen- dricks. Joan MacLaughlin, Lois Knapp, Barbara Fletcher. Beatrice Patchin, and Elizabeth Eg- gleston. Also, this year for the first time, two juniors Patricia Fletcher and Rowelin Law— were inducted along with the seniors. Since the National Honor Society is a world-wide organization, to be a member is one of the highest honors which can be conferred upon a high school student. Class History Little live wires were we when we entered kindergarten in September 1937. Ours was the largest beginning group up to that time, so large that it was necessary to divide us into two sections. Those first days were memorable days, fil- led with never-to-be-forgotten experiences. Will we ever forget the day one of the lads, hold- ing a huge Teddy bear, chased (and we mean chased) all the girls around the room? Our elementary school days passed swiftly, intermingled with comedy and tragedy. There were parties, new friends, and the endless struggle with math. We were growing up, too! Then we entered junior high. How different it was! We were thrilled by the changing of classes and going to different rooms every forty-five minutes! Mr. Parliman was our ad- viser, and the study hall our homeroom. We were still a large and unwieldy class, viewed by our teachers with apprehension. The noise and restlessness tnat prevailed netted us daily lectures on how to be little ladies and gentle- men. After two hectic years we were freshmen at last and were given the opportunity to se- lect our courses of study. We held our first class dance in November. What an experience that was! The sophomore year passed quite unevent- fully, except for the dance we sponsored. Our junior year found us “stuck” with the lab for our homeroom. As upperclassmen, we didn’t think much of that, but gradually we became accustomed to living with the fish, snakes, and salamanders. Our field of activities broadened greatly in our junior year. We were the sponsors of a square and round dance and the Junior Prom, our first formal. We received our class rings, which we so proudly displayed to everyone. The year passed quickly and the graduation of the “Forty-Niners” made us realize that all too soon we would be graduating. This year, as dignified seniors, we have been busier than ever. An outstanding event was our production of the wonderful play “Stage Door”, the cast of which included the entire class. Our social life consisted of sports of all kinds and various dances, among which was the annual Christmas Ball. We worked long and hard to make our yearbook the big- gest and best, with some entirely new features. Amid the work and fun, we have been swiftly whirled toward the eventful day of graduation. The commencement exercises will close the door on our happy high school days and will open the gate to the outside world. May God grant, as we step forth, that we use the knowledge we have gained, to attain worth- while goals in life. Class Will We, the Class of 1930 of Pine Plains Cen- tral School, having reached our destination and being of sound mind and body, hereby declare the following to be our last will and testament: To the juniors we will our very unusual ability to maintain our social life and fun-lov- ing spirit and at the same time to be an ex- traordinarily intellectual group with highly commendable conduct and marks. To all underclassmen we will the ambition to strive for the dignity, poise, and knowledge of which we have been such outstanding examples. To Mr. Stanton we give our sincere thanks, for he has been not only our principal and overseer but also a true friend, whose kindly smile, congenial personality, and valuable ad- vice we shall always remember.

The scene is little old Pine Plains. The audience is you and I. The curtains are about to part on a drama in which every member of the Class of ’50 plays a part. As the house lights dim, we recall that last day in June when most of us set out in different directions. One last glance at our program shows us that our play will be a ser- ies of short acts, each of which will show sev- eral members of the Class of ’50. Now the curtains open and we see a fa- miliar building good old P. P. C. S. And look, can this be our old friend, Bea Patchin, coming out of the door with a crowd of ador- ing children clustered around her? She is head of the Music Department. Lois Knapp, a spe- cialist in efficient homemaking, is in the caf- eteria on an inspection tour and is giving ad- vice to the home economics teacher and mem- bers of the P.T.A. Lois and Bea have a dinner engagement at the home of Mr. and Mrs. Collins McGhee. Mrs. McGhee, the former Anita Aroh, is now a popular young matron, renowned for her wonderful cooking. At the McGhee home are other members of the class. Over by the door stands David Remsburger, who, as a laboratory supplier, does a flourishing business keeping the neighboring schools well supplied with snails, white rats, and all kinds of laboratory speci- mens. Vincent Remsburger and Frank Bosso- lini are chatting in front of tne fireplace. Frank is a retired oil tycoon and Vincent, a retired soda jerk, made millions selling root beers and hamburgers. Coming in the door two men, obviously farmers, whom we recognize as Bill Thelman and Eugene Hawks. Both are owners of prospering dairy farms near Pine Plains. As the curtains slowly close, we are cog- nizant that those members of the class who remained in Pine Plains are very happy and a good example that small-town life isn’t so bad. As the curtains part with the towers of Manhattan as a back-drop, our attention is fix- ed on a fashionably dressed young woman. She is Barbara Fletcher, a fashion designer, whose creations appear in Vogue, Harper’s Bazaar, and other fashion magazines. She and her per- sonal assistant, Joyce Hendricks, are about to board a plane for California to design some clothes for Pete Albertsen’s latest movie. The scene shifts to Washington. D. C., where the plane makes a stopover. There Joan Greene is just boarding a plane for Siam. Joan has been traveling and there is hardly a place where she hasn’t been. An inheritance from her boss enables her to do this. Barb and Joyce make a tour of Washing- ton during the stopover. As they pass an im- pressive looking office buildmg, they are sur- prised to see Carillon Reeves! As she chats with the girls, they learn that she is a career woman, with Carol Brenner and Katherine Remsburger as her confidential secretaries. The girls journey on toward the Capitol, which is buzzing with activity due to the fact that there are so many members of the Class of ’50 there to liven it up. Coming down the corridor is Betty Eggle- ston, who is confidential aid to the President. (Remember how' we used to call her Gabby?) She joins the group and informs them that Congresswoman Linda Pulver is right in the middle of a filibuster. It seems that some per- son by the name of Peter Chittick is trying to start another civil war. Betty says that two other ’50ers are in Washington. They are John Hoffman and Joan McLaughlin. John has become such an authority on farm matters that the President is seriously thinking of mak- ing nim Secretary of Agriculture. (That was supposed to be confidential, but you know Bet- ty!) Joan is in charge of a large orphanage and is well-known for her good works in Wash- ington. The curtain closes on these happy friends who have found success and prestige in the great city of Washington. When next the curtains part, the scene is Boston, where there are only a few of the class- mates. We see the home of Joanne Kenney, who is an up-and-coming author. Joanne’s first book was a best seller and her second promises to be even better. Her agent is Florence Wheeler, assisted by Alice Wendover. At the Deaconess Hospital Joyce Healy is Director of Nursing. Joyce loves her work and we doubt if there is a happier person. The curtain closes to open again in Albany. Walking down Central Avenue are Shirley Fahey, an eminent lawyer, and Rose Serianne, a very successful model. The two had stuck together and gone to the top of their respec- tive fields. They run into Charlie Frumerie, now head of the Agriculture Department at Cornell. He is a very busy man, much in de- mand as a speaker at dinners and graduation exercises. The curtain closes and opens again, for the last time, on familiar scenes in Poughkeep- sie. We see John Ryan, a typical sailor, hav- ing a wonderful time. His old pal, Nick Fri- duss, is with him. Nick is in the business of Real Estate Development with Pictorial Repre- sentation. He enjoys his work tremendously and is doing very well. Will we ever forget his hard (???) work taking pictures for our yearbook? Driving down the street in a new Buick is Helen Salisbury. She is on her way to Vas- sar Hospital to see Betty Frazier. Helen, hap- pily married to a big business man, is very busy with committees and such. Betty Fra- zier is head of the Pediatrics Department at Vassar. She has always gotten along well with work. The two decide to have lunch together at a nearby restaurant. There they run into Myrtle Dillinger, who is a top executive in the telephone company. In a few minutes three gentlemen enter the restaurant. They are Bob Fister, Dave Rogers, and Bob Spohr. Bob Fis- ter, as first vice president of I.B.M., and Bob Spohr, as second vice president, have proved themselves to be invaluable to Thomas Watson. Dave is a veterinarian, busy as can be. They recognize the girls and as the ’50ers sit re- miniscing, the curtain falls on the happy group. Thus ends the play. In this play there was no sadness. So may it be in real life!

What caused this flaming comet? The seniors were giving their annual play under the direc- tion of Miss Hubbard with the assistance of other faculty members. “Stage Door' by Kaufman and Ferber, a drama of the theatrical world, was a great suc- cess on Broadway. With our brilliant actresses and actors it was colossal! Rehearsals were hectic. Odd things would keep happening. For instance, the lights would go out in the midst of the most serious scenes, or somebody would get the giggles, or a few people would become studious at the wrong times and miss their cues—all because of a sudden interest in chemistry. The play was presented on the evening of November 17th. Despite opening night jitters, everything ran smoothly, with one exception— a zipper got stuck, causing three would-be-dra- matic geniuses to troop on stage late. The sounds of audience approval during the acts and the curtain call at the end indicated tne play had met with favor. That being so, the cast felt their efforts had not been in vain. 3 We’ll Always Remember Mr. Davis’ “stay on the ball”. Sneior play rehearsals. Johnny Ryan’s car running out of gas. Miss Wagner’s ability to walk without being heard. Pete Chittick’s blush. Chemistry class third period. Joyce Healy’s giggle. That afternoon a few girls skipped school. Joan Greene’s and Dave Rogers’ freckles. Having the lab for a homeroom. The rattling windows of the language room. Johnny Hoffman’s way with the girls. Miss Sottile’s “alors”. Identification of S When we were freshmen. Beatrice Ann Patchin’s affection for a certain underclass“man”. The day we received our class rings. Kay Remsburger’s “littleness”. The noisy bus rides to the games. The loitering in the corridors. The mad rush for the cafeteria line. The freedom of the noon hour (unless one had previously-made appointments). The familiar twosomes by the lockers and in the halls. The Ag Fair and dance. The football games and cheering. The song We’re Here, Because We’re Here”. nior Baby Pictures 1. Betty Frazier 7.

The rest are to US As mere planets to a sun. Forgive this bit of boasting, friends, for the juniors feel they have something to boast about. We had a successful cake sale October 15th. This was followed on November 4th by a dance —the Autumn Glide, also successful, because one of our promising young lawyers suggested that if we took donations, we wouldn’t have to pay taxes. Ha, ha! We were the first to think of that and. unfortunately, we were the last. Our Junior Prom was May 5th -nothing unus- ual about it except that unduplicable junior touch. Secretary-Treasurer Patricia Fletcher Faculty Adi vers Mr. Davis The juniors were altogether in room 315 this year under the lone reign of Mr. Davis (alias T. D., Tom Collins, Speedball, Bullet, and Moneybags as he is popularly known). Here in room 315 we were able to observe, ever so much more closely, those undefinable marks of a true junior—for example, the way Eleanor Dykeman chewed her gum, with just the proper zest and gusto. A very marked junior characteristic, that! Mr. Davis was our class mascot, whom we alternately petted and pestered. That worthy has completed another year with us. We no- tice a slightly bleaching effect on his hair, but Mr. Davis needn't worry—the juniors can take care of themselves under all conditions and really don’t need “snoopervision” anyway. The junior homeroom is the cleanest, qui- etest and pleasantest to the juniors, anyway! Sophomores First row, left to right: B. Place, G. Pulver, K. Paley, H.

Class Officers: President Vice President Jules Burgevin Secretary Edward Archer Treasurer Faculty Advisers: Miss Kent and Mr. Frail Joyce Case Phyllis Hendricks Athletically speaking, we, the largest class in school, started out the year with a bang. The first thing we did was to win the inter- class football championship. The boys did very well for themselves on the high school football team, too. Four fellows made the varsity bas- ket'all squad and the J. V. was practically a sophomore proposition. Also, congratulations are in order for our two cheerleaders who per- formed so ably. Our class may not have made the highest scholastic standings, but our scholastic life was never dull. Just ask Miss Sottile about the French and Lat’n students (?) who were so-o-o-o-o-o allergic to study. Mr. Bayen did succeed in overconrng some of sophomore in- ertia—had you noticed that some of the sophs did even the extra typing assignments? In addition to sports and studies, we were generally active otherwise. Surely you haven’t forgotten the new talent we supplied for the yearbook assembly. Then there were those “q-u-i-e-t” class meetings followed by our dance, the Sophomore Buzz. All in all, it was a grand year for us. Next year, as upperclassmen, we have plans for even a better vear.

We felt very important telephoning for an orchestra, planning our decorations, and getting our re- freshments ready. It was exciting and espe- cially thrilling when our guests began to arrive, filling the auditorium with fun and laughter. Ah! By the way, did you know that our class won the Magazine Drive for the second time?

That’s what could be heard from our famous eighth grade cheerleaders as they cheered our basketball players, equally as famous, on to victory. Our players were really “on the ball.” Had you ever noticed Shookie’s long shots or perhaps one of Reed’s one-handers? In addition, there were little Stet, Bob Greene, and that exact image of Rhinebeck’s great Pottenburg! Who? Why Bill Pulver, of course! Our music-minded eighth graders joined the band. These included Andy with his French horn, Sour Note.” Of course, the clarinets and such were just as much at fault. In the class we have a trombone player, a saxophone player, and a bass drum player, all of whom expect to join the band in the near future. We have also taken an active part in other school activities, including the Junior Red Cross and the G. O. As our elementary school days draw to a close, we are eagerly looking forward to next year, when we hope to be full-fledged freshmen. n Seventh Grade -.1 First row, left, to right: E. McCauley, J.

We felt somewhat strange at first little frogs in a big puddle; but, little by little, we caught on, and now you would never know we were the new- comers to the third floor. We liked the idea of a different teacher for every subject. No more sitting in the same room three hours at a time! Every forty-five minutes we could stretch our legs a bit in pass- ing to our next class. We haven’t done much in the way of acti- vities yet, but just give us one more year. Then we will be more grown-up, and we will let the rest of Pine Plains Central School know we are around. Sports Cheerleaders First row, left to right: L. Pulver, B. Eggleston. G. Lee, D. Muller, P.

Faculty Adviser—Miss Gartland This year the Board of Education financed the purchase of ten new cheerleader uniforms, to be used by the girls for several years to come. These identical and stylish uniforms ad- ded that well-dressed look to both the J. V. and Varsity Squads. To keep the squads in line with our new look Miss Gartland (Slave Driver Gartland they call her) ever drove us onward to better precision and peppy originality in our cheerleading practice. Twice a week we could be seen practicing from September to March. The alteration system for capta ns was used, which gave every girl a chance to lead and elim- inated many arguments. Tryouts were extremely tough, with many and good competitors for the only open.ng. Grayce Lee came out on top—orchids to Grayce! In February the cheerleaders gave a round and square dance, The Squircle”, which was enjoyed by all, despite the fact that tne squad’s financial status was not improved by it. On the night of March 5 the Varsity Cheerleaders proved themselves to be the best cheerleaders in the Hudson Valley Section of the D. C. S. L. by winning the trophy at Cheerleaders Meet held at Roosevelt High School. All of us have enjoyed cheerleading and striving to encourage and lead the sportsman- ship of Pine Plains Central School.

This year’s football squad equaled the re- cord set by last year’s gridders by winning four games and losing only one. Thirty boys reported for the first practice on September first. Positions were wide open, for many boys from the 1948 squad had graduated or left school. Our first contest at Amenia saw Pine Plains open with Francis Baldwin and Rowclin Law at the flanks, Bob Fister at center, Ed Archer quarterback, Charlie Frumerie half and Dave Rogers full. After a nip-and-tuck affair for nearly four quarters, Francis Baldwin fell on an Amenia fumble in the end zone for the de- ciding TD, 32-27. Bob Twomlow played a bang-up game at center in the second half of this initial fray. Norm Callaghan and Bob Spohr aided greatly with the ball-toting chores. Quarterback Archer was lost to the team in the first quarter due to a severely-sprained ankle. Millbrook furnished the opposition in the next contest on the Pine Plains gridiron. Mill- brook dominated the play until three minutes before the half, when Charlie Frumerie broke loose and scored the tying touchdown. How- ever, in the second half the Millbrookers scored three times to emerge the victors, 26-6. The Centrals were undefeated from here on in. Do- ver Plains fell before the Pine Plains relentless attack 32-12. Rowelin Law came into his own in this contest and showed the reason why he was considered one of the best ends in the county. Ed Archer returned to the squad for the Dover fray, and his quarter backing was faultless. Again Charlie Frumerie, Dave Rog- ers, Norm Callaghan and Bob Spohr did the brunt of the ball-carrying. A new star was born also, as Henry Cook entered the limelight on several spectacular runs. Francis Baldwin perhaps made the most spectacular play of the game. After leaping high into the air to snare Frumerie’s pass, he twisted and ran his way 35 yards to a score. The Plainsmen next defeated and under- manned Staatsburg club 58-7, but only after the losers had thrown a scare into the boys by scoring the first TD of the game. In the final game of the season, one that will probably grow to be traditional as years pass, the local boys downed Red Hook 8-0. The game was hard fought from start to finish, the only score coming in the second quarter as Fru- merie found a hole in the Red 1-Iook line and threaded his way through for the score. Bob Twomlow added the conversion on a perfect drop-kick. Rowclin Law was the outstanding player on the gridiron—making tackles all over the place and in general causing the opponents plenty of grief. Excellent spirit and team play were, in no small measure, responsible for such a success- ful season. There were many on the squad who had never before played football. Among them were Hugh Martin, Bob Spohr, Joe Bartolomeo, Rowelin Law, Dave Bowman, William Lacey. Howard Mack, Robert Salinovich, Bob Fister, Jack Pulver, Dick Decker and Jimmy Stewart. Lettermen who saw another year of service in- cluded Bob Twomlow, Ed Archer, Frank Bosso- lini, Fran Baldwin, Charlie Frumerie, Henry Cook, Norm Callaghan, and Dave Rogers. Only Frumerie, Fister, Rogers, Bossolini and Spohr will be lost to the squad by graduation. Junior Varsity Basketball First row, left to right: H. Mack, N. Kemp, T. Spohr, R. Couse, K. Stuetzle, R. Estes. Second row, left to right: Mr. Frail, M. Hill, The Junior Varsity basketball team, deter- mined not to be outdone by the Varsity cagers. had a splendid record of eleven victories against, four defeats for the 1949-1950 season. Thirteen boys saw action at one time or another during the course of the schedule, vet- erans Ken Stuetzle, Fred Couse, Tom Spohr. Ed Archer, Melvin Hill and Robert Couse, new- comers Jack Pulver, Dave Bowman, Newton Kemp, Jules Burgevin, Bill I ?e, Dick Decker, and Hovvard Mack. The boys lost the opening game to Amenia on the latter’s court 24-16 but avenged this de- feat a week later 24-14. The Staatsburg cagers fell before the Pine Plains onslaught as Fred Couse, Ken Stuetzle and Tom Spohr led the at- tack. In the next contest Roosevelt furnished the opposition and won 40-32, but only after a terrific struggle by the Plainsmen. Anderson became the second victim of the locals 47-9, be- fore Red Hook defeated the boys 44-26 with a strong second half rally. Coach Frail and his boys dcc;dcd right then that they could and would be tough from here on in—and tough they were. The boys went on a winning streak that lasted through five games. Jack Pulver and Fred Couse, with 13 and 12 points respectively, led their teammates to a well-earned 39-31 victory over Rhinebeck. In a second half scoring spree the Plainsmen romped past Roe-Jan 46-14. The score had E. Archer, J. Pulver, J. Burgevin, D. Bow- man, F. Couse. Not in picture: R. Decker, W. Lee, H. Cook. keen tied 13-all at half time. As a preliminary to the Tivoli game here, the Jay Vees defeated the senior class team 34-20, Ken Stuetzle lead- ing all scorers, with 13 tallies. Fourth victim in the winning streaK was the Anderson School five 27-22. Then came one of the best wins of the year. The Centrals handed Red Hook a 35-30 loss, the first suffered by the Red Hook- ers during the season. Ken Stuetzle, Jack Pul- ver and Ed Archer combined scoring opportuni- ties to give the locals the win. The Rhinebeck High five ended the Cen- trals’ victory skein when they eked out a 38-36 win in an overtime period. The Doys came Lack from this defeat trouncing Oakwood 46-27, Roe- Jan 40-22 and turning the tables on Roosevelt on the latter’s court 35-33. Ken Stuetzle with two foul shots just before the buzzer was the hero of this finale. Captain Ken Stuetzle and cohorts did one excellent job during the entire season, and all of us at PPCS are very proud of them. All the boys will be back next year fighting for berths on the Varsity squad. The individual scoring went as follows: Jack Pulver 121, Ken Stuetzle 105, Fred Couse 76, Tom Spohr 74, Ed Archer 40, Dave Bowman 33, Melvin Hill 27, Newton Kemp 21, Jules Burge- vin 12, William Lee 11, Richard Decker 4, Rob- ert Couse 2. Varsity Basketball First row, left to right: A. Ventimiglia, D. Spohr, J. Stewart, V. Remsburger, J. Brandt, F. Edick. Second row, left to right: Coach Barton, D. Swart, F. Baldwin, N. Callaghan, F. Moore. Not in picture: D. Rogers, E. Hawks, R. Couse. The 1949-1950 basketball squad had one of the best records in recent court history. The boys won fifteen out of nineteen games for a .789 percentage. At the initial practice session called on November 1st, it appeared that the season would be a rebuilding one. Nine veterans from the 1948-49 squad were missing. However, through hard work and plenty of hustle, the team shaped up as one that was going to be hard to beat. With the open ng game at Ame- nia but one week away, the Plainsmen suffered the loss of Eugene Hawks due to an appendec- tomy. Norman Callaghan stepped into Eugene’s guard position for the opening fray. The re- mainder of the line-up and the regular one for most of the season showed Capta-.n Vincent Remsburger at one forward, John Brandt at the omer slot up front, Francis Baldwin at center, and Donald Swart at the other guard post. Cap- tain Remsburger and cohorts defeated Amenia 48-25 to start the new season off on the right foot. In the next seven contests the Centrals emerged as victors, dowming Amenia in a re- turn match, Staatsburg, Tivoli, Anderson, Red Hook and Anderson in league games, and sink- ing Roosevelt 23-20 in a thrilling battle. Aid- ing no end in tnis eight-game winning streak was the w'ork of Floyd Edick. James Stewart. Robert Couse, Donald Spohr, David Rogers. Frank Moore, and Eugene Hawks who returned to the squad for the Red Hook game. Rhinebeck handed the locals their first loss of the season, 54-30; but the Centrals started on a new streak aga'n, winning six straight be- fore Rhinebeck halted things lor the second time. In this skein tne Plainsmen whipped Roe- Jan, Staatsburg, Tivoli, Anderson, Red Hook and Oakwood. Following the Rhinebeck loss the locals topped Roe-Jan in a return engage- ment and lost to Roosevelt. Rlvnebeck and Pine Plains had identical league records. 10 and 2. In the play off game at Roosevelt the Rhinebeck boys defeated the Plainsmen 42-29, but only after the latter had put up a stubborn second half fight. Rhine- beck had taken a command1 ng 26-9 lead at half t� me. All the boys deserve a great deal of credit for their patience, hard work, and hustle in giv- ing Pine Plains a team that will not only be remembered for its fine record but for its fine sense of fair play and sportsmanship as well. Space does not permit us to mention all of Varsity Basketball the year’s highlights, hut here are a few: the greatly improved play of Francis Baldwin who jumped from a minor Junior Varsity role to a regular Varsity berth, the everlasting hustle of Johnny Brandt, the left-handed shooting accur- acy of Don Spohr, the fine all-around general- ship of Captain Vince Remsburger, the unex- celled speed of little Floyd Edick, the poise and grace of Jimmy Stewart operating out of the pivot, the deceptive dribbling of Norm Calla- ghan, the long set-shooting ability of Don Swart, the perseverance and doggedness of Dave Rog- ers, the comeback of Gene Hawks, and the one- handed shooting of Bob Couse. Manager Andrew Ventimiglia and his assis- tants, Henry Cook and Richard Estes, kept the boys well supplied with towels, gum, and or- anges in addition to performing all their other jobs well. There will be three boys from the squad graduating in June: Gene Hawks, Vince Rems- burger and Dave Rogers. John Brandt led the team in scoring with 213 markers, followed by Vince Remsburger with 125, Fran Baldwin 117, Don Swart 91. Floyd Edick 57, Jim Stewart 46, Norm Calla- ghan 42, Don Spohr 32, Bob Couse 29, Gene Hawks 25, Dave Rogers 7, Ed Archer 6, Frank Moore 3 and Jack Pulver 2. Track — 1949 The track team participated in the meet held at Arlington on May 28, 1949. The team was composed of both junior and senior high school boys, some of whom were veterans of the previous year’s team. The team placed se- cond behind Red Hook, but only after putting up a stiff fight. It is hoped that there will be the same interest in this year’s meet as has been shown in past years.

Among the lettermen returning for another season’s play were Pitchers: Gene Hawks and Bob Twomlow; Infielders: Tom Spohr, Norm Callaghan, Charlie Frumerie, and Tom Moore: Outfielders: Bob Spohr, and Frank Bossolini. Newcomers to the squad included Catchers: Ron Edick and Melvin Hill; Pitchers: Don Spohr and Bill Thelman; Infielders: Floyd Ed- ick, Robert Couse and John Battistoni; Out- fielders: Frank Moore, John Brandt and Herb Robinson. The Plamsmen defeated Millerton twice and Roosevelt once in practice games prior to the start of the regular schedule. Amenia pro- vided the opposition in the first game. Pine Plains went down to defeat 2-0. but Don Spohr, Gene Hawks, and Bob Twomlow allowed only three hits for the entire game. Inability to solve Losee’s offerings caused the Plainsmen’s downfall. League games with Rhmebeek. Red Hook, and Staatsburg followed. The Centrals lost to Rhinebeck 14-7, defeated Red Hook behind Don Spohr 6-5, and then lost a heartbreaker to Staatsburg 3-2. This latter game saw Gene Hawks hurl a masterful seven innings. He al- lowed only three hits and struck out ten, but poor support allowed the Staatsburgers to triumph. The boys decided that they could win their sectional crown if they got down to business and played better baseball, and this is exactly what they did. In return games with each of the three league opponents. Pine Plains downed Rhinebeck 5-2 on Hawks’ five-hitter, whipped Red Hook 6-1 behind Don Spohr's two-hitter, and then Gene Hawks came back to shut out Staatsburg 5-0 on only two safeties. The longue race ended with Rhinebeck and Pine Plains deadlocked with identical 4-2 records. The playoff game was played on the neu- tral Red Hook diamond. Gene Hawks and Dixie Delamater hooked up in a hurling dual for six innings, but in the top of the seventh the Plainsmen broke out in a rash of hits that saw them take a 9-2 lead. Rhinebeck enme back in the bottom half of the fire. The victory gave the locals the championship and the right to meet Amenia in another playoff.

Next, the job was to per- fect some team work and scoring ability. Hav- ing accomplished this, the team managed to schedule two games—Oakwood at Pine Plains and Millbrook at Millbrook. Although the team was victorious neither time, the girls had a “bang-up” time swinging the stick and acquaint- ing themselves with the girls of the respective schools.

During basketball season the high school girls’ team faithfully practiced lay-up and set shots, foot work, and pass work for almost two months without a scheduled game in sight. Fin- ally in February several games evolved, and the girls proved that their practice had not been in vain. They did all right for themselves in spite of several “chip-fractures”! 3 i i i i § i 3 i 3 1 ? 1 1 1 1 1 Softball First row, left to right: K. Losee, M. Palmer J. Bates, J. Hendricks, B.

The gowns will be worn during the in- vestiture services. Another result of our efforts will be evi- dent in September, w'hen new handbooks will be presented lo guide new students and to lend extra assistance to the old. Three of the athletic pages in this year- book were sponsored by the G.O. It was pleasing to note that the students took greater interest in the organization this year than in previous years.

The name Beaver Trail has long been applied to all Boy Scouts from this area. We are making it official for our group. Several drives for funds and community service have been operated by us or aided through our efforts. We participated in the Memorial Day services, the drive for repairing Route 199, and the March of Dimes campaign. We also helped the Legion and the Grange put on a program.

Faculty Adviser: Mr. Parliman The club was started in May 1940 when the seventh grade, using various members’ equipment, put on an exhibit for the P. T. A. Open House. Since then the club has sold can- dy to purchase its own equipment and construct its own layout. From year to year the layout has been improved by increasing the scenery and effectiveness of operation. Each year, except one, an operation layout has been exhibited at the annual Ag Fair. This year the club designed and is com- pleting a smaller portable layout which will be completely “sceniced”. This will be used for exhibition and demonstration purposes at Christ- mas time, Fair time, and Open House. 3 % 4 New Years’ On New Year’s eve, instead of going out ‘‘on the loose” by themselves, most of the youth of Pine Plains enjoyed themselves at a dance held in the school gym and sponsored by the Pine Plains Civic Association. Mr. Archer, chairman of the association, gave strict orders that those in attendance must dress informally. Most of the boys and girls turned up in dungarees, or equally informal dress. The party was a gay one from beginning to end. High school students and alumni, home from college, were well represented. Music for round and square dancing was furnished by “Pop” Smith and his orchestra. The room resounded with the stamping of feet and clapping of hand ; to the strains of ‘‘Nellie Gray” and “Marching Through Georgia”. Eve Dance Along about 11:30 the music stopped, when sandwiches and doughnuts were passed around to the revelers. After everyone’s hunger had been sated, noisemakers and paper hats were given to one and all, while confetti was strewn round the room. At once the tempo quickened and it is doubtful if anyone knew exactly when the Old Year left and the New Year came in. The time between 12:15 and 1:00 was taken up with rousing square dancing on a floor piled high with confetti and the remnants of paper hats. The dance was definitely a success, and the youth of Pine Plains are certainly indebted and grateful to the thoughtful parents and townspeople for making their New Year’s eve such a memorable one. G.

O. sponsored Amateur Night. Finally, on March second everything was in readiness. This year’s Amateur Night was a bouncing, fast-moving show, which contained everything from tumbling acts to vocal solos. As a backbone, two one-act plays were performed by the boys and girls of the junior class. One of the plays was a comedy sketch of the well-known play, Pyramus and Thisbe, and the other play was a comedy showing how gossip can turn the simplest story into a highly complicated affair. The rest of the program included vocal solos, instrumental solos, instrumental duets, impersonations, and several other enjoyable performances. Amateur Night attempts to use talent from the entire school, including all grades from kindergarten through the twelfth grade. The performance is the result of skillful blend- ing of available talent, and we feel we owe much to those teachers whose combined efforts make such a program so successful. As always, this year’s entertainment pro- vided an enjoyable evening for everyone. The proceeds from the performance were used by the G. O. to purchase robes for the National Honor Society and to aid the financing of the new school handbooks, which will be distributed to the student body this coming fall. c ! t e = 5 5 S E 5 e mmrn May Day-- 1949 i S I Front row, left to right: B.

The forepart of the afternoon was given over to athletic activities which took place on the north field of the playground. Earlier in the day one could see many students hustling around putting up chairs, marking off the play- ground, or doing any number of odd jobs in preparation for the “big afternoon.” Among the events were dashes for both girls and boys, three legged races, a high jump, and tug-of-war contests, in which various clas- ses participated. The Sophomores won the tug-of-war. An added feature was the girls’ baby carriage race, which was hilariously en- joyed by all. Dave Rogers won the pie-eating contest. Needless to say, each and every participant en- joyed this contest. Finally the big moment arrived for the crowning of the queen, who had been previously elected by the student body. Her attendants were chosen from the various classes, two from each class. The attendants of the queen were Third row, left to right: J. Case, V. LeBrun. Fourth row, left to right: L. Gately, J.

Trainbearers were Sandra Stickle and Freda Osobsky. With hushed expectancy the student body awaited the queen and her attendants on the front lawn. There was an air of silent excite- ment as the queen, Janet McGhee, approached the throne with her attendants. The scene was colorful and picurcsque as the attendants, dres- sed in spring colors, took their places around the queen’s throne. The queen was crowned by Ward Potter. Boys and girls from the fourth, fifth, and sixth grades paid homage to the queen in the form of a Maypole dance. They were accom- panied by Anita Aroh at the piano. The processional was led by children from the second and third grades. Barbara Fletcher played the accompaniment for them. The queen was honored again that evening at the Senior Prom, where she was recrowned.

We at Luckey’s draw upon eighty one years of experience to try our hand at making a prediction for the class of ’50 as a whole, and it is simply this: the majority of you will find yourselves looking to Luckey’s all through life for the things you need for yourself, your families and your home. “The Leading Store of the Hudson Valley” Luckey, Platt and Company Our Jean Sardon Studio is official photographer for the Pine Plains High School Yearbook 1. “Hit ’Em High.” 2. “Smile for the Birdie.” 3. “Bruisers” Sport Snaps 4. “Jump?” 5. “Sic ’Em.” 6. “How High Is Up?” 7.

The boys play- ed heads up ball all the way but just could not fathom Losee’s air-tight pitching. Don Spohr did the chucking for the Plainsmen and did an excellent job, holding the hard-hitting Amenia boys to six hits and only two tallies. All the boys deserve a great deal of credit, for they came on from a bad start to win the crown. There were many high lights during the season, but we have space here to mention only a few: the team’s loss of the services of Captain Tom Spohr when he broke his collar bone in a collision at second base in the Arlington game; Ronald Edick’s slick pick off plays and his hit- ting; the excellent pitching of Gene Hawks and Don Spohr—especially Hawk’s new curve ball; Norm Callaghan’s tremendous 400-foot triple that broke up the second Red Hook game; John Brandt’s deft bunting ability; Tom Moore’s long stretches at first base that saved many an er- ror; Bob Couse’s fine play in the Red Hook game; and the all around hustle of the entire team. Andy Ventimiglia made an excellent Varsity manager. Ken Stuetzle and Fred Couse. base line coaches, waved the boys on to many a tally.
