Now, when these days are almost over, we stop to reminisce about these four years and what they have meant to us. While remembering, two people stand out in our memories—You, Mom, and you, Dad. We think of all the sacrifices you have made for us that our lives might be happier, how you've made our troubles so much smaller. Most of all, we remember you because you've under- stood us in our dreams, our hopes, our ambitions, and our problems. Perhaps we don’t fully appreciate all you have done for us during our school years. We can't express with words just how we do feel, but we hope that in dedicating to you this Year Book which represents our school life of the past few years, it will in some measure show our appre- ciation and gratitude for your unfailing support of us, and for your just being you.

At this time we wish to thank the cafeteria staff for providing us with such delicious and wholesome food. We appreciate the hard work that this staff has done for us. In the future years we hope that they will remain as efficient as they have been in the past. Bus Drivers First row, left to right: Cecil Dykeman, Louis Juhring, Jr., Roy Camburn, Frank Chatlos. The bus drivers have done a very commend- able job again this year in transporting us to and from school and in taking us to basketball games. They have brought us through the year Second row, left to right: Vincent Wright, Al- len Smith, John Woodward, Wal- ter Shook, Charles Holsapple, and Floyd Harrison. in safety, and allowed us to miss only one day of school because of bad weather. To the bus drivers we give our sincere thanks and appre- ciation. Custodians Left to right: Harry Myers, William Patterson, Russell Burton, C. E. Burton. Not in picture: John Wilhoite. Have you ever wondered what would hap- pen if it weren’t for the custodians? There would be paper airplanes in the chandeliers, notes on the study hall floors, wads of gum underneath the desks and piles of dust on the floors. Pretty horrible thought, isn’t it? But have no fear that this could ever hap- pen. Regardless of the time of day or what day of the week it is, you will always find one or more of our custodians cleaning up after us. May we take this opportunity to thank these wonderful friends of ours for their faith- ful services in keeping our school and grounds so beautiful. To Mr. Davis, our friend, teacher, and ad- visor, who for five years has helped us with our problems, large and small. For his unfal- tering attention, we the class of 1951 give our thanks. “At Ease!’1 The Sargent’s yell Rings like a bell Thru our nervous systems taut. There’s not a word That isn’t heard; That isn’t always caught, There’s not a word—Oh! how we’ll miss that yell, That sound so clear and sharp, Remembered in our later years, We’ll long to hear its bark At 8:55 when we’re all in our seats The same throbbing song thru our ears always hearts. “At 5 of 9 and at 5 of 1, when I say Quiet, I want it so!” When later on in life we’ll sit Quiet at last, and sad, We’ll think of all the times we could Have been good, instead of bad. We’ll think of all the times we could Have made you glad, instead of mad. And we’ll think of you as a tried old friend Another, second, “Dad.” THE SENIOR CLASS Class Officers 0 President MARION MARIE College Entrance Course Seymour Smith 2, 3, 4; Secretary Jun- ior Red Cross 3; Intramural Basketball 1, 2, 3, 4; Interschool Basketball 4; In- terclass Basketball 1, 2, 3, 4; Intra- mural Volleyball 2, 3, 4; Central Sun 3; Blueprint 4; Library Club 1; Honor Society; Senior Play.

One of the activities which the Senior Class looks forward to most eagerly is the Na- tional Honor Society induction ceremony. The National Honor Society was founded by secondary-school principles in 1921 to stim- ulate and to recognize the outstanding qualities of scholarship, in leadership, service, and of character in the students in secondary schools In 1948 Pine Plains Central School became a chapter of the National Honor Society, un- der the name Teesink. This was sponsored by the G. O. In 1948 and 1949 Red Hook Central School gratefully accepted the invitation to conduct the ceremonies. However, in 1950 the Teesink Chapter was organized and took care of its ini- tiations. It is one of the highest honors a student could receive, for it is a world-wide organiza- tion. Class History On September 1947, we embarked on our unforgettable high school career. Unfortunate- ly our class was divided into two homerooms, with Mr. Davis and Miss Kilbourne as our ad- visors. As incoming Freshmen, we were in- troduced to a new and puzzling experience, namely-algebra. We began our search for the “unknown x which we, as Seniors, have yet to find. Our first social event was the success- ful round and square dance, “The Rainbow Dance ’ Our Sophomore year found us still in our separate homerooms but united in our strug- gles. Some of us nearly met our Waterloo in geometry or business law, but somehow we sur- vived. Just why we “angels” held a “Devils Dance”, we’ll never know. Nevertheless it was a huge success. The Fall of ’49 ushered us in as Juniors and what a class we were! Finally we were all united in one homeroom under the super- vision of Mr. Davis. Society had never been until we arrived at the exalted position as third year students. Our first plunge into the whirl was the “Autumn Glide”, an informal round dance. Riding the crest of success we sponsored our first formal, our Junior Prom, which we called the “Cinderella Ball.” During this year we promoted a food sale and won the first May Day trophies. We forgot to men- tion that in order to swell our treasury, we sold stockings. The past has just been a build-up for our final splurge, our Senior year. Beginning with a food sale, in fact, we had two food sales; we sold Christmas cards, sponsored an informal dance, using “Stardust” as our theme. We ushered in Christmas with our ball, using an international theme. We also took part in the annual Senior Christmas caroling. We had the usual May Day, which ended with the crown- ing of our May King and Queen the night of the gala, star-studded Senior Prom. And lastly, after waiting so long, sometimes hopefully and sometimes hopelessly, we finally graduated and are ready to face the world. “Class Will” We the members of the Senior Class of 1951, leave you, the underclassmen, some of our well known valuables and prize skills. We hope that you will use them to the best of your ability and if used wisely, it is possible that in some measure you might become as great a class as we were.

Class Poem by Eleanor Dykeman MEMORIES Days will come and go, And we may wander afar, But memories will always linger, That nothing can ever mar. Each precious gem of knowledge, Each laugh of happiness, Each friend we made in high school, Will form memories of P.P.C.S. Now we’ve attained our goal, Through smiles and through strife, Each memory will be treasured, Throughout our entire life.

Doing Well Brilliant Wedding of Former Students Man of Destiny Winning the election by an overwhelming majority, John Post became the for- tieth president of the Unit- ed States. Fulfilling a boyhood de- sire, John came to the Ca- pitol, the same quiet youth, who, when asked years ago what he wanted to become when a man, softly mur- mured, “President” Always a diplomat, John has already made friends with his former opponents and Congress is ready to eat from his hand. When Mr. Post accepted this lofty office, he might have turned his back upon some of his campaign prom- ises, but he says he will meet stalwartly all issues and obligations. Will he prove to be our worst or our best? Time alone will tell.

Un- bleached burlap bags were laid in the aisle and the pew ends were tied with swamp grass and poison ivy. Miss Eileen Morrison was maid of honor, and the bridesmaids were Miss Jan- et Bates, and Miss Jeanette Dykeman. They carried bou- quets of beets and turnips. James Kellerhouse of Eli- zaville was the worst man, and ushers were Beaver and Weaver. Miss Doris Muller at the organ played the Prisoner's Song and Mule Train, and Miss Patricia Fletcher sang Good Night Irene. The bride, who pranced in, in the arms of her fa- ther, was gowned in an an- cient model of imported fish net, made princess style with long, close-fitting sleeves and a nine hundred twenty-five yard train ex- tending from the shoulders to the fire house. Her short veil of red crepe reached to her finger tips. Her bou- quet was of meadow mus- tard and spinach. Sky blue pink chiffon gowns, made on Richville style, were worn by the at- tendants. A sunburst of gun powder created the at- mosphere for the sumptu- ous affair. A reception in the wood shed of the hall followed. Both the reception room and the men’s lounge were charmingly decorated with devil’s paint brushes and skunk cabbage. For a traveling outfit the bride wore a dress of glass with a corsage of black daisies. Out-of-town guests, other than the members of the wedding party included: Miss Mary Canevari, Mr. Francis Baldwin, Mr. Rowe- lin Law, President John Post, Miss Betty Reed, Miss Carolyn Post, Miss Sylvia Verin, Mr. Donald Mangieri, Mr. Norman Callaghan, Mr. Robert Couse, Miss Olga Rundall, Miss Marion Mabie, Miss Janet Ryerson, Lieut.

After a month’s tour, Mr. and Mrs. Twomlow will re- side at their newly fur- nished home at 1897265432 Harmony Lane, Pine Plains. “BEAV” PALMER DIS- COVERS PRECIOUS GEM Last Thursday night in “Beav's All Night Garage”, the proprietor, Mr. Beaver Palmer, while draining the oil pan of a 1961 “Badillac”, discovered a cache of pre- cious gems valued at $100,- 000,000,000,000 which was hidden in the carborator. So startled by his discovery, was Mr. Palmer, that he hit his head on the bumper and was removed to the North- ern Dutchess Health Center where his condition is re- ported as fair. Mr. Palmer has stated that he has been offered a most unusual op- portunity by virtue of his notoriety. The possession of this pre- cious gem has placed Beav among the greatest indus- trial magnates of the cen- tury and he recently in- formed us that he is bar- gaining to purchase the North End of the Brooklyn Bridge.

MY PROFESSIONAL HORIZON Principal speaker at the banquet of the Amalgamat- ed Kindergarten Teachers, held during the Chicago Conference, Miss Eileen Morrison contended that the educational ladder must be extended both upward and downward, and also side ways to meet the needs of the rising generation. Taking a backward glance over the lost half of the twentieth century, Miss Morrison declared that each child should have not one, but two television sets so that he might compare the programs. “It would be a great stride toward pro- gress”, said this great teach- er. Drawing herself to her fullest height, she added in closing, “it would be a ver- itable renaissance”.

Ross, made the most brilliant campaign of his career yesterday at the Battle of Turkey Hill. His heroic bravery and courage were unexcelled. As 15,000,000 swarmed over the hill, he took his stand fearing not even death itself. The going was rough and when defeat was almost certain, the General and his army took one last chance. They advanced cautiously and with the use of one top- secret handgrenade, they wiped out the whole army of insects. For his undoubted brav- ery, he was awarded the Congressional Medal of Courage. He is also being promoted to a Six Star Gen- eral. SPOHR REALIZES LIFE AMBITION Last Friday night the lo- cal quintette of P.P.C.S. won a glorious victory and took the Hudson Valley ■Championship Title.

Coach asks Mr. Stanton if some- thing can’t be done. Mr. Stanton says he will give the boy a special test and if he can pass it, he can play. He calls the quarter- back down to his office and says, “I'm going to give you a special math test, and it is only one question. What is 7 plus 7?” The quarter- back thinks a minute and says “eleven”. Mr. Stanton says “Noooooo, but since you were only one off, I’ll let you pass.” BARTON’S TROUBLES II.

Not present: Janet Bates, James Kellerhouse, Craig Chase. The Senior class presented the Charm School, a three act play on Friday, May 4, at 8 o’clock. This delightful comedy, written by Alice Duer Miller and Robert Milton, reduced its audience to a state of laughter-limp merri- ment. Austin, played by Thomas Spohr, is an am- bitious automobile salesman, who suddenly in- herits a girls boarding school. Immediately he endeavors to change the strict policies of the school and teach the girls charm. Elise, the heroine, played by Doris Muller, president of the Senior class of the Fairview school, soon succumbs to a violent attack of puppy-love, and in her efforts to impress the new princi- pal, she almost disrupts the school. The cast consisted of Jean Kellerhouse as Miss Hays; Norman Callaghan as Mr. Johns, Patricia Fletcher as Sally, Craig Chase and Allen Bathrick as the twins, Janet Ryerson as Miss Curtis, Jack Murray as George, Marion Mabie as Muriel, John Post as David, Carolyn Post as Ethel, Elizabeth Reed as Alix, James Kellerhouse as the postman, Eileen Morrison as Lillian, and Janet Bates as Madge.

Be on the lookout for any Jun- iors running around with tomahawks and fea- thers - Wait . . Don’t be alarmed it’s only the Junior class remembering their Junior Peace- pipe Dance. What with a teepee in the corner and a number of wild Indians scattered about the gym, we really made “Whoopee.” Next on our list of events, we had a rip- ping good food sale. (Quite a few doctors’ bills were paid that month, too, for some reason). In April we defied the spirits and had ur prom on Friday the thirteenth with good luck. That proves something, but we’re not quite sure what. Now to the f)orts field! Our undefeated football team had a Junior for its captain and eight of his teammates were also Juniors. Our class was well represented on the basketball team with over half of the boys seeing action. Five of our girls made cheerleading, three ar- sity, two Junior varsity. Although baseball hasn’t come yet, we have high hopes for all the Juniors to make it. Well, that takes care of the sports! . . Oh, yes! . . We hope the fish won’t miss us next year when we take the place of the “High Honored” class of '51 in the portals of Pine Plains High.

I suppose that every class thinks that its class is the best and we are no exception. From the time we were eighth graders we possessed the ability to put over our projects. Starting with the magazine drive, we scored our first financial hit. From that time on we seemed to have the Midas touch. In our Freshman year we successfully promoted the Turkey Trot Barn Dance. Our class seems blessed with people having original ideas and who also appear to have the “know how” to put them over. On October 6, this energetic group again chalked up its second record- breaking dance. We called the venture “The Harvest Moon Shindig.” April 27 witnessed our last high point of the year and again our class made history. Well, time marches on, and so do we, ever striving for higher goals. Freshman Class First row, left to right: D. Palmatier, R. Gard- ner, E. Herman, B. Decker, A. Wendover, P. Grant, I. Salisbury, R.

If you should ask Sophomores, Juniors, Seniors and teachers what they think of the Freshman Class, they’d reply, “Boy, what dev- ils!” At present we seem to be meeting the requirements of that wicked character, the devil. We, poor Freshman, take this label in our stride. The teachers like us so well that we keep them company every noon. Every afternoon we have five o’clock tea with them. Seriously, we hope that by the time we are Seniors we shall have become ladies and gentlemen. Eighth Grade First row, left to right: V. Couse, K. Wisbauer, K. Tompkins, M. Tremble, E. Heisel, M.

This year the bashful members of the seventh grade have been under the supervision of Mrs. Clifford, Mrs. DeRosa, and Mr. Collins. Mrs. DeRosa left us after putting up with us a half year and Mr. Collins took over. It was a thrill to be able to move around: to different classes every forty-five minutes. This was something new and exciting. Our class was divided into two homerooms, classed as 7A and 7B. Each class has its own officers. For 7A Richard Schumann was el- ected president; Allan Aroh, vice-president; and Doris Lempka, sec.-treas. The 7B section el- ected Lorraine Lempka as presidnt; Richard Moore, vice-president; Pat Galm, secretary, and Darra Dillinger, treasurer. Our class is striving for high standards and we hope in the future to make history for good old P.P.C.S. School Calendar SEPTEMBER School opened with five new teachers to break in.

Patty and Donald were elected to the high honor by a majority vote of the high school students. Their attendants were Seniors, Marion Mabie, Doris Muller, Jack Murray and Tom Spohr; Juniors, Gloria Ingle- son and Edward Archer; Sophomores, Joanne Lovelace and Jack Pulver; Freshmen, Patricia Grant and Herbert Kemp. Preceding the king and queen in the processional march were boy and girl dancers from the 4th, 5th and 6th grades and boys and girls from grades two and three.

From it stem the Athletic Association, the Traffic Department, The National Honor Society, and various other organizations. This year, more so than in previous years, the committees of the G.O. have been especially active. School spirit was encouraged through the efforts of the Public Relations and School Spirit Department. The Traffic Department has made safety a by-word in our corridors. The Athletic Association conducted a sale of sweaters to help in the support of eleven-man football. These are just a few of the many ac- tivities. This year, the G.O. decided to donate the proceeds from the Amateur Night to the sup- port of eleven-man football. It also purchased two additional robes for the induction ceremon- ies of the National Honor Society. To build up its funds, this year in addi- tion to the Amateur Night program, the G.O. sponsored two food sales and several collec- tions after the Friday night basketball games. With the full support of every student, the G.O. has a brilliant future in the coming years. 5- r: : Blueprint Staff Editor-in-Chief Olga Rundall Girl’s Sport’s Editor Betty Reed Boy’s Sport’s Editor ..............

As you probably know by this time, the Seymour Smith Players was organized in honor of Mr. Seymour Smith, a public spirited citi- zen of our town. The purpose of the group was to promote school spirit and give everyone an opportunity to work on the stage or backstage. This group is also responsible for certain assembly pro- grams and for the school exchange assembly entertainments. For several years, our group has been the guest of Red Hook and Rhinebeck and they have been ours. In the past years, the members of this group have presented such plays as JUNE MAD, WHAT A LIFE, and CHARLIE’S AUNT. This year we gave CINDERELLA, the old hut ever new story, told in a way which delighted everyone. High School Chorus First row, left to right: Mrs. Platzer, K. Paley, M. Kniffin, F. Beckley, B.

The purpose of this particular type of en- tertainment is to give an opportunity to every boy and girl to display his various talents. Each year the response appears to grow greater and in this last performance about forty students took part in the variety program. Jack Murray acted as Master of Ceremon- ies and the acts consisted of songs, dancing, skits, and several musical numbers. The par- ticipants were from all the grades from the Kindergarten through the Senior Class. Everyone seems willing to cooperate,—and as long as the interest continues, and the aud- ience continues to enjoy the performance, the General Organization will he happy to serve its school and the public. T w i r 1 e r s Left to right: Barbara Mack, Janet Bates, Ana- liese Deppe, Grayce Lee, Eleanor Dykeman In 1949, we had, for the first time in Pine Plains’ history a group of girls who were in- terested in twirling. They were: Janet Bates, Grayce Lee, Hein Salisbury, Joan McLaughlin, Barbara Mack, and Katherine Remsburger. Our drum major is Analiese Deppe. The first public appearance was the Ag Fair in Septem- ber. We also participated in a school assembly program, Memorial Day Parade, and in the summer concerts. In 1950 we added Eleanor Dykeman to our group. In 1951 we lost Helen Salisbury, Joan Mc- Laughlin, and Katherine Remsburger because of Graduation. Patty Galm, Barbara Patter- son, Augusta Johnson, and Joan Archer were chosen in try-outs, and added to our group. This year we competed in contests at. Roosevelt, Poughkeepsie, and Wappingers Falls, winning one second place medal and placing third frequently. Experience and time should enable us to improve on such a fine beginning.

For the first time since the football team was organized in 1948, the Plainsmen went un- defeated. Thirty-five candidates answered the first call to practice and nineteen of them won varsity letters. The first game of the year saw Pine Plains down Red Hook 31-16. Red Hook received the kickoff on their 10 yard line. On the first play from scrimmage Red Hook fumbled and Pine Plains recovered. After three plays Norm Gallaghan skirted end for a touchdown. Later in the game Ed Archer faked a pass from midfield and ran the ball 50 yards for a touchdown. The score at the end of the first quarter was 12-8. Just before the half ended, came, what now can be called the most spec- tacular play of the season. Red Hook was on the verge of another touchdown, when Capt. Ed Archer intercepted a Red Hook aerial and raced the length of the field for a touchdown. During the second half Pine Plains scored twice, once on a ten yard plunge through the line by Henry Cook and then again on a left end run by Callaghan. In the second game the Plainsmen downed Millbrook 34-6. The Centrals hit hard caus- ing Millbrook to fumble on which the Plains- men capitalized. Millbrook received the kick- off and on the first play from scrimmage they fumbled. Three plays later Pine Plains re- scored. Bob Twomlow’s drop kick was good and the score was 8-0. The second touchdown came on a Callaghan to Baldwin pass. Before the first half ended Pine Plains scored again, this time on a line plunge by Henry Cook. In the second half the Centrals scored twice, both times on passes; once an Archer to Baldwin pass and then again when Floyd Edick threw a long one to end A1 Johnson. In the closing minutes of the game Millbrook scored it’s only touchdown; an end run by Storts. The following week the Centrals again romped to victory, this time with a win over Dover Plains, 35-6 for the Plainsmen’s third consecutive win. In the first half Pine Plains scored twice both times it was Norm Callaghan on similar plays. A drop kick conversion was good on the first and for the second try for point a Twomlow to Boyles pass was complete. Bob Reed, probably one of the best defensive men in the county, showed his stuff before the half ended by knifing through the Dover line ■ nd snaring a Dover back behind the goal line for a safety and two points. As the half ended Dover was on the short end of 17-0 score. There was no more scoring till the last quarter when Callaghan, Cook, and Shook each Continued on end of Sports Section c E Junior Varsity Basketba 1 1 First row, left to right: E. McCauley, H. Mack, K. Sluetzle, F. Moore, M. Kemp, R. Reed. The Junior Varsity basketball team com- pleted the season undefeated. According to the records available, this is the first time in the history of PPCS that this has been accomplish- ed by a J.V. team. Much of the credit is due to the fact that the members of the team have been learning the game over a period of sev- eral years. Most of them have been playing basketball since they were in the fourth grade. Some have been practicing at home. The team members worked hard in practice and displayed a good knowledge of the funda- mentals of the game. They showed a real de- termination to win. Freddie Couse was the captain of the team until he was advanced to the varsity squad. He played in four games. Frank Moore was then elected captain. Frank injured his hand and was unable to participate in the last two games. Ken Stuetzle acted as captain for those games. Jack Pulver played in three games with the varsity squad for sectional play-offs. Frank Second row, left to right: L. Bittner, W. Shook, H. Cook, J. Pulver, W. Lacey, C. Marcy, Mr. Roche. Moore and Walter Shook played in three var- sity games also. Louis Bittner and Chester Marcy played in three games. Playing with the varsity gave them experience against stronger competition and also gave the other members of the J.V. team more opportunity to play. Points scored during the year were divid- ed as follows: J. Pulver 185, K. Stuetzle 151, L. Bittner 85, W. Shook 67, F. Moore 58, C. Marcy 44, F. Couse 41 (4 games), M. Lacey 40, N. Kemp 30, H.

Bald- win, T. Spohr, R. Couse. Starting off on the right foot, the Varsity basketball team beat Rhinebeck 50-30. The scoring in the game was spread out among all the boys with Captain Don Swart high with 8. Then traveling to Amenia, they won by a 46-31 score. John Brandt was high with 14 points. Traveling to Staatsburg the team came out on top 59-32. Next to be beaten was Tivoli by a 52-24 count. At home we beat Oakwood 54-25; and then Roe-Jan with 3 boys hitting double figures. Next to fall before the Plains- men with a 52-45 defeat, Amenia was again downed by the Plainsmen. Anderson fell before the “Barton Bombers” by a score of 76-24 with Francis Baldwin and Jim Stewart hitting for 17 apiece. Again Rhinebeck was beaten after a thrilling first half. Inspired by the constant winning, the boys took Staatsburg, Tivoli and Oakwood in succession. Roosevelt, the spoiler of a winning streak, was trounced by the hust- ling boys from Pine Plains by a score of 60-43. Red Hook came next and they put up a scrap- ping fight but could not match the Plainsmen and they went down to defeat. Anderson then lost 84-14—84 points being the highest total of points in one game for the boys. Climbing to the top of the Hudson Valley Section with a spotless record, the Plainsmen went to Roose- velt to beat Millerton, champs of the Harlem Valley section, to take the D.C.S.L. class “C” title. In the first playoff game at Roosevelt against Haldane, the team rolled on to a 51-24 win. Traveling to Peekskill to play Mt. Kisco in a semifinal game, the Plainsmen had a tough struggle but came out on top 55-49. The boys came from behind to take this one by fight and hustle all the way. Bellows High finally stopped the Plains- men at the County Center at White Plains by a 57-34 count, thus ending a splendid basket- ball season. The boys practiced hard and faithfully and got their reward as is quite evi- dent. Coach Barton deserves a great deal of credit for his splendid team. T rack First row, left to right: K. Nelson, R.

The team competed in the Dutchess County Sectionai League, Sec- tion II at Arlington. The junior team came out first in their section. A great deal of praise is due to the excellent teamship of the junior boys. Credit is due to little Bobby Reed, who won the 880 yard run. The senior boys, although giving a stiff fight, came in third in their section. Here again, special credit is due to Frank Bossolini. Frank came in second in the 880 yard run. It is hoped that more boys will become in- terested in track and participate in the coming meet, so that again we will be in the race for the championship. 55 £ £ £ £ 5 S i i i i S G t I Baseball 1950 X � First row, left to right: H.

The Plainsmen went one step farther this year than the team of 1949. The club of ’49 took the Hudson Valley Sectional Champion- ship, but the team of ’50 won it, then went on to beat Amenia in the semifinals for the Dut- chess County Scholastic Championship. Fol- lowing up this win they went on to meet Ar- lington at Riverview Field for the finals and after a thrilling game, lost to Arlington 4-3. The opening game of the season was a game with Amenia. Don Spohr and Gene Hawks shared the pitching chores. Gene start- ed for Pine Plains and lasted 2Vz innings, giv- ing up 2 runs on 3 hits and walking one. Don went the other 41 - innings allowing 1 hit and 2 bases on balls. The first league game of the season was with Red Hook and was won by Pine Plains 5-1. Don Spohr went all the way, giving up one hit and one run. Bob Couse led the Cen- tral attack with 2 hits; Floyd Edick, Dave Bowman, Gene Hawks, Bob Spohr, and C. Fru- meri each had one apiece. For the next game Pine Plains traveled to Arlington and lost 6-1. Gene Hawks pitched the whole game, allowing 9 hits, 6 runs, and striking out 5. After Arlington, Pine Plains came up with a win over Staatsburg 2-1, Hawks again going the distance. Then the Plainsmen lost to Rhinebeck 4-2. The Centrals had 5 hits, one apiece, by Edick, Johnson, Callaghan, Hawks, and D. Spohr. Following came games with Staatsburg, which the Plainsmen won 6-2, and Red Hook 7-5. The season ended with Pine Plains and Rhinebeck in a tie for first place. The play off game was played at the neutral Red Hook field. Don Spohr started for the Plainsmen and twirled a neat 3 hitter beating Rhinebeck 5-2 for the championship of the Hudson Valley Section. Pine Plains drew first blood in the first inning on Floyd Edick's triple and a sac- rifice by Bob Couse. With two out in the third inning, Rhinebeck scored twice on a single, triple, and a Pine Plains error. The score re- mained 2-1 till the sixth inning when Dave Bowman blasted a triple to right field. A1 Johnson’s single scored Bowman. Brandt ran for Johnson and then Charlie Frumeri beat out an infield single. Don Spohr walked fil- ling the sacks. Then came the most thrilling play of the game as John Brandt got a jump on Pottenberg and stole home. Pine Plains scored twice more when Floyd Edick smashed a single that scored both Frumeri and Spohr. Totals for the game were: Pine Plains, 5 runs on 6 hits Rhinebeck, 2 runs on 3 hits. Pine Plains then traveled to Hudson River State Hospital Field to meet Amenia, winners of the Harlem Valley Sectional Championship. Gene Hawks pitched a beauty giving up no runs, 5 hits, walked none and fanned 2. Bates of Amenia gave up 2 runs, 3 hits and struck out 5. Pine Plains scored in the first inning when Edick singled, then stole second. Bob Couse topped a pitch and Edick scored when Amenia’s catcher threw wild to first base. In the sixth inning Norm Callaghan singled to left, was sacrificed to second by Edick and then scored as Bob Couse hit a Texas Leaguer. Both teams played inspired ball through- out the game. Good pitching and fine fielding were prevalent on both sides. John Brandt made several fine catches during the game. Pine Plains then met Arlington at River- Continued on end of Sports Section I Girls’ In ter- School Basketball First row, left to right, Mrs. Bosch, E. Smith, J. Palmatier, H. Hoffman, P. Hutton, P.

Although we weren’t as successful as the boys this year, we did have a great deal of fun playing our few games and meeting girls from other schools. This season we lost twice to Millbrook and a thriller from Red Hook. Girls’ Softball Last spring found the interschool softball team trying endlessly to get their knees out of the way when going down for a grounder and then following through with a good throw. Although we never became experts at this, we did manage to win games from Amenia, Millerton, and Red Hook, while losing to Mill- brook and Oakwood. a G ■ p Football and Baseball Continued FOOTBALL tallied once, Shook on a left end run after picking up a fumble in the backfield. For the fourth game, Amenia arrived at Pine Plains and left on the tail end of a 45-12 score. In the first quarter, Pine Plains scored three times on Callaghans’ 40 yard run, then an Archer to Baldwin pass netted another six points. The last TD in the first quarter and half was Bob Salinovich’s squirming run through the whole Amenia team. In the second half Pine Plains scored three times. Once Norm Callaghan skirted end for a score then Bob Reed took an Amenia punt on his own 5 yard line and carried it 45 yards for another TD. Another run by Bob Sal.'no- vich ended the scoring for the game. Bob Twomlow completed 4 dropkicks for 8 points and one pass to Norm Boyles. The last game of the season saw the Plains- men travel to Greer and whitewashed them by a score of 51-0. Cold weather and dampness hampered the Central’s attack for the first few minutes of play, but once warmed up the team started to roll. In the first half the Plainsmen scored three times, twice it was Callaghan, once on a six yard buck and then again on a 20 yard end run. Later Capt. Ed. Archer completed a long pass to Francis Baldwin for another TD and the conversion after touchdown was good once. In the second half Pine Plains scored five times on Callaghans short buck’ (pass conver- sion good) then “Cookie” toted the mail for forty-five yards for another TD. The third touchdown of the half was scored when Bob Salinovich skirted his own right end and ran 30 yards to score. In the closing minutes of the game Norm Boyles carried twice, starting when the ball was on his own 20 yard line and scored. Greer got the ball on the kickoff and tried to score at least once by passing, one of these Greer pitches was snared by Walter Shook and carried for the last TD of the season. Next year’s team will be without the serv- ices of five players. Missing will be Francis Baldwin whose glue-covered fingers have wrap- ped themselves around many a Plainsmen pass. No longer will opposing backfield men meet diminutive Rowelin Law when they come around end and be subject to his bone-jarring tackles. Center Bob Twomlow, who specializes with the dropkick will be gone and also “Big” Norm Boyles who as fullback made opposing linemen wishing they hodn’t got in his way; lastly Norm Callaghan whose runs, kicks and passes will not be forgotten very easily. The team of 1951 should be an excellent one, the ones remaining are, at the flanks William Dillinger, A1 Johnson, Joe Barthole- meo, and Camil Valcourt; at the center are Howard Mack, Hugh Martin, Charlie Dennis, and Chauncey Dykeman. The remaining back- field men are Capt. Ed Archer, Henry Cook, Walter Shook, Bob Reed, and Bob Salinovich.

BASEBALL view Field in Poughkeepsie for the Dutchess County Scholastic Championship, in which Don Spohr and Lefty Vincent shared pitching hon- ors. Spohr gave up 4 runs on 8 hits, walked 2, and struck out 6. Vincent gave up 3 runs on 2 hits, walked 7, and struck out 7, and hit 3 batters. Pine Plains drew first blood in the top of the third inning when Tom Spohr walked. Then on an attempted sacrifice by Bob Couse, the Arlington catcher threw Tommy out, Bob being safe on first. Hawks, next batter, grounded out pitcher to first, Couse moving to second. Bob Spohr next up, then singled to center, knocking in Couse. However, Arlington came back in the bottom half of the third, getting two runs on two hits and two Plains- men’s errors. Like a rubber ball, Pine Plains bounced back in the fourth when Norm Cal- laghan tripled to right-center and scored when the Arlington’s catcher hit Callaghan in on the back on an attempted pickoff. Again in the fifth inning, Pine Plains scored, this time be- cause of a streak of wildness on the part of Lefty Vincent. Bob Spohr and Gene Hawks walked, then Dave Bowman got on when the first baseman muffed his grounder. This filled the sacks. Charlie Frumerie walked, forcing in a run and Pine Plains went ahead 3-2. In the bottom half of the sixth, Arlington tied it up on a triple and a single; then went ahead in the seventh on a double, a sacrifice, and a single to receive the game and the champion- ship. Like the Amenia-Pine Plains game, both clubs played heads-up ball. Fielding was ex- cellent, especially Tom Spohr’s agility around second. The game was hard fought through- out the seven innings and the final outcome wasn’t known till the final out. Pine Plains showed plenty of bustle and it was believed that Arlington would win by a much higher score. Highlighting the season was Gene Hawk’s blanking of Amenia, Tom Spohr’s backhanded stabs behind second, A1 Johnson’s hitting in all games, Edick’s and Bowman’s triple against Rhinebeck, and Charlie Frumerie’s getting hit by a pitch whenever the opportunity came. Missing from the squad of 1951 will be Bob Spohr, whose cat-like prowling of left- field and whose hitting will be missed; also pitcher Gene Hawks, whose side arm fast ball has been the death of many an opponent; Charlie Frumerie, whose steadiness behind the plate was an inspiration to the rest of the team; and lastly, Frank Bossolini and Dave Ro- gers, two swell ball players and of course we can’t forget Lefty Vincent Remsburger. 3 Commencement Exercises Tuesday Evening, June 26, 1951 PROGRAM Theme: Problems Facing American Democracy Prelude — “Agnus Dei” ...................................

It's just a convenient resting point. The Pine Log will continue to be edited by succeeding Senior classes. The Class of '51 will soon have its sons and daughters editing Pine Logs. Until then, you'll see us coming back to our Alma Mater, for we really believe that “Our strong band will ne’er be broken. We have had fun in all of our 4 years at Pine Plains, but and this is a message to all succeeding Seniors, we have found that being Seniors is something special. It is. A senior is looked up to and watched. He is copied. It behooves him to put on his best manners and be friendly. A senior can have more fun than any other classman. More activities are open to him. Yes! A senior is something very special. We hope all succeeding classes will earn their credits in their first 3 years so they can more fully enjoy their last, happiest, fullest, and most wistful year. We just didn’t have time enough. In ending this edition of the Pine Log, the Class of '51 wishes to thank everyone in general for its success, and in particular: Mr. Stanton for his interest and numerous efforts to help us out. The Board of Education for their financial support. Miss Hubbard for her interest, hard work, worry, and guidance. The Faculty for its cooperation. The student body for its prolific notes and support. The advertisers for their patronage. 3 3 i 3 3 3 firmor u (Of (Otur 3 vient), Jflrs.
