Pine Plains Central High School - Pine Log Yearbook (Pine Plains, NY)

Text from Pages 1 - 136 of the 1955 volume:

FOREWARD In Pine Plains Central School we have under taken many difficult tasks; we have had four years of fellowship and pleasant recreation; we have had hours of diligent, hard study, guided and encouraged by our faithful advisers; we have made true and lasting friendships. In our endeavor to picture our high school life, to express the ideals we have set, and to show our loyalty to our school and our asso- ciates, we present the Pine Log of 1955. THE PINE LOG VOLUME XI Published by The Class of 1955 Pine Plains Central School Pine Plains New York Dedication To one who has given unselfishly of her time and effort, for the often unrecognized services she has render' ed on our behalf, we, the Graduating Class effectionately dedicate to Mrs. Walter our Pine Log of 1955.

Page twelve Pine plains Central School Pine Plains, New York June 3, 195? Dear Miss Wagner, In the life of every student there are influences directing his growth and development. Sometimes that influence is noticeable; other times it’s only the echo of a whisper, but it is always there, even if we pretend unawareness. It is this which makes so many of us take so many of the best things in life for granted. The admission doesn’t come easily, but it’s high time we broke down and thanked you for letting us keep our little illusion—that we are self sufficient and that we do everything on our own. So thanks ------ for those little big things like knowing how to spell a word or how to punctuate a sentence when we don’t have time in study halls to look up the rules; for never seeming to mind when we ask for extra help in math; for managing to be efficient and friendly without being too obviously either; for the suggestions you made about things we should or should not do; for being enthusiastic and cooperative in our school and class activities; for smiling when we needed a smile, and listening when we needed an audience; for all the high ideals you have striven to instill in us; for all the things you are and do that made us happy to be in your home-room. Gratefully yours, The Senior Class of 1955 Page thirteen T r.iaVfS Citizenship £duejhon Guidance flt'Js Xrs.

Music - “Blue Skies Class Poem We, the Class of 55, are leaving now. 'tis true, And we are taking with us memories of things we used to do. We always had a joyous time and studied hard, of course, And learned the meaning of noontime dates which the teacher did enforce. Our hearts are saddened by the thoughts of leaving all these things, But we must go out into life to see what the future brings; And now our parting word to you is, “Be faithful in all you do. Keep your ideals high, your honor bright, and to all that’s good, be true. Page thirty-fiv Class History foundation for the class of ’55 started in 1942. It was cemented together by Sue Patchin, Virginia Couse, Mary Woodward, Ronnie Parliman, Betsy Knickerbock- er, Kathryn Wisbauer, Helen Goldsmith, Alfred Place, and Robert Kilmer. Right along in 1943, Ethel Smith joined our group with helpful hands. jncreasing our members in 1945, was Charlie Dorval, who also helped us toward our future goal. fnlarging our horizon in 1948, were Louie Bittner, and William and Richard Bathrick. Now in 1947, three young fellows lend a helping hand. They are Francis Stanton, Dale Bartholf and Harry Cahill; also joining the class were Margie Smith, Vir- ginia Kirschner, and Mary Tremble. During 1948 Joan Archer, from Ohio and Jane Goulette from a nearby town came to join us. Our class is now looking toward its everlasting goal. goon afterwards in 1949, our class welcomed Catherine Nelson, Leonard Sturdivant, Frederick Popp and Gary Harrington. pjappily in 1951 we greeted the cheerful Stanfordville gang which consisted of Jeanne Lawson, Raymond Ball, Sally Bullis, Margaret Homan, Donald Krom, Marion Heinsohn, Linda Collier, Mary Lou Burnett, Patricia Clancy, Richard Chittick, Shirley Withers, and James Schwarze. Other new additions were Barbara Ingleson and Peter Di Falco. jnvitations were sent to Millcrton High School in 1952 inviting Kenneth Pulver and William Gormley to join our class. Much to our regret we lost Louie Bitt- ner, and in 1953 we were sorry to lose Helen Goldsmith. presently in 1954, Margaret Chapman joined us. Our family was at last complete. From 1942 we have grown in school spirit, cooperation, and friendship, happily cemented by our common joys and sorrows, and by our pleasant memories. The CLASS OF ’55. Page thirty-six Prophecy It is the year nineteen sixty-five. The scene is Pine Plains Central School. The time is during an exciting basketball game between the old Alma Mater and our rivals, Red Hook. The boys are warming up for the first game of the season. Giving out tickets are Kathryn Wisbauer, Music teacher; and Mary Woodward, Home Econ- omics teacher. Coming through the door we see several members of the graduating class of ’55. First to appear are the former Joan Archer and Harry Cahill with three of their five children. Not far behind them are Virginia Kirschner and Mary Tremble who are here to take down the points of the game for their local paper. These girls are employed at the office as stenographers. Everyone gladly greets each other. Sgt. Robert Kilmer attends the game with his girl. Pvt. Ethel Smith is home from the WAC’s. Jeanne, Linda and Lulu, the recording stars for Decca Re- cords, are here to entertain the crowd. On the other side of town, unable to attend is the former Maggie Chap- man busily putting her children to bed. Barb Ingleson and Shirley Withers are working the night shift in the new IBM plant just outside town. Of course, our other servicemen, Jim Schwarze and John Szatko, were unable to attend the game. Well, the game is about to start. Coach Gary Harrington gets his start- ing five on the floor and the first half is under way. As the excitement mounts Charlie Dorval, manager of the local Grand Union, enters with hot dogs to sell to the audience. The first half comes to a close. Nurses Sue Patchin and Cathy Nelson are attending the game together. Joining them is Virginia Couse, a baby nurse. They are serving on the staff at Vassar. Everyone is talking over his experiences and admiring the new gym. The beautiful addition was built by the firm of Krom and Stanton, Engineers who have Ted Chittick as an under-study and Sally Bullis and Maggie Homan, their efficient secretaries. The second half is now under way. Skip Popp, a famous figure in the “stock car world”, comes into view. His “pit-man,” Pete DiFalco, is with him. Seated not too far away are Dale Bartholf and Dick Bathrick, owners of the larg- est farms in the community. Giving advice to them is Ken Pulver, our farm ex- pert from Cornell. We can’t overlook Dick’s brother, Bill, who is our local mailman. As the action goes on the star player turns his ankle. Thanks to Betsy Knickerbocker, the Nurso-teacher, he is able to continue the game. Bill Gormley, owner of the new Dutchess Auto Firm, drives up in his 1965 Chevrolet accompanied by Ray Ball, his assistant manager. Marion Heinsohn is Mr. Gormley’s private secretary. Our game now comes to an end with Pine Plains winning a nice victory over the rival. All the former classmates are together reminiscing over old times in the hall. In to join the crowd is Pat Clancy who is assistant secretary in the school. Jane Goulette is the permanent Guidance secretary. A1 Place is home for the weekend. He has illustrated many famous children’s books. Len Sturdivant, a famous band-leader, is with Al. Last, but not least, on the scene is Ronnie Parli- man, our faithful Trooper, who kept the crowd in order this evening. With Ronnie is the former Margie Smith, his sister-in-law. Thus ends a victorious evening and the class separates to continue their successful progress through life.

We want to thank the most thoughtful Seniors for letting us help them sell food and soda at the Ag. fair. We certainly enjoyed every moment of it! Our boys, as usual, have participated in the field of sports helping move the team to victory. Mr. Davey, who was one of our advisors during our Freshman and Sophomore years, has left us to teach in Albany. Mr. Caswell has taken Mr. Davey’s place and he and Mr. Everts have been wonderful advisors. Our class travelled the road to success in everything undertaken.

Last year our class held a dance and a food sale and both turned out well. Miss and Mr. DeGarmo, our able advisors, started us off with a bang by using their heads (Ha! Ha!). Our booth at the Ag. fair netted us a nice profit. We held five dances which were financial successes. This year as last we are ranking high in sports, and in the Blue and White and Mixed Choruses. We give ourselves a pat on the back and hope we can live up to our own expectations. Page fifty-four “Second String JV” Class of 1958 First row, left to right: S. Greene, V. Thurst, M. Fahs, L.

The 8B class likes the privilege of com- ing in five minutes later than last year. Now we come in with the rest of the school. We are getting to know our homeroom teacher, Miss Hubbard, better and are enjoying coop- erating with her. We have a very hectic schedule, and can boast of six members in the Band, and one t wirier. We are working very hard because we want to pass the Regents. This is the first time that any of us has had that experience. We are really trying to make this year a memorable one.

Three weeks of hard labor produced a very successful play on that night. The cast realizes that this success would not have been possible without the help of Miss Hubbard, the Dramatics teacher. Her time and Continued effort are greatly appreciated. Our thanks also to Kenneth Pulver for his splendid sportsman- ship in accepting the part of Mervyn two days before the play. Alfred was unable to take this part due to illness. Others who contributed to the play’s suc- cess were: Margaret Chapman Marjorie Smith Susan Patchin .... Jeanne Lawson .... Charles Dorval ...

Over a period of years the audience has seen the stage transformed into a lovely gar- den, a cosy living room, a patio, or into some other equally effective eye-pleasing scene and we wonder if the beholders realize who takes such interest and infinite pains in creating these miracles? In recognition of the efforts of Mr. Edward Schaehrer and his “Ag boys,” we feel that it is high time to say a big Thank You” for lending us their time and skill.

After the dinner the Seniors danced and played games. Peter Di Falco and Donald Krom had to pay a consequence. Donald gave a speech and Peter led the group in singing. (“It’s a Sin to Tell a Lie”). For entertainment Dick Bathrick yolded and Harry, Dale, Peter, A1 and Charlie sang ‘‘You Are My Sun- shine.” We returned home happy and satisfied.

The purpose of the Society is to bring forth and establish high ideals and worthwhile in- fluences in the school. Selection of membership is based upon scholarship, service, leadership and character of the students. The Society acts as an inspiration to all students to try and become a member because it is the highest honor that one can receive during the high school years. Its emblem is the Keystone and the Flam- ing Torch. This symbol represents the build- ing blocks of the Society—Character, Leader- ship, Service and Scholarship. Everyone looks forward to the day when the members are announced and brought into the Society. Page sixty-six General Organization First row, left to right: B. Knickerbocker, J. Archer, C. Nelson, M.

Miss Hubbard Francis Stanton Allan Aroh About the year 1937, a group of pupils banded together to form a dramatic organiza- tion which became known as the Seymour Smith Players. The name adopted was in honor of a Pine Plains citizen, Seymour Smith, who years ago founded The Seymour Smith Academy. The Club has for its aim, the one goal— to foster the love of drama. Here the pupil has the opportunity to learn stage craft, the art of acting, and plat- form deportment. He may also learn to op- erate the switch board, and learn many other phases of all that goes into making a play worthy to be seen by the public. Team work is necessary to a good produc- tion, and a boy or girl learns that there is no such thing as a small part in a play. Each is necessary to the whole. The proceeds of our annual play defray the expenses involved and each year a certain amount is awarded in prizes at graduation to the Senior boys and girls who have made the greatest advance in the field of drama.

The reporters and staff worked together in every effort to put out the paper every month. But their efforts turned into satisfaction when they read the final production. We want to congratulate Mary Ann Gormley as the succeeding editor and Pamela Holden as the new business manager. We wish them the very best of luck. We feel we have succeeded in making this paper a school paper contain- ing school news. The staff sincerely hopes that next year’s staff will continue to enlarge this paper and to make it better. We give our thanks to all those who supported our endeavor. Editor-in-chief ............... Joan Archer Associate Editor ..............

Pamela Holden Hits and TRUE “If your nose is close to the grindstone rough, And you hold it there long enough, In time you’ll say there’s no such thing As brooks that babble and birds that sing. These three your world will all compose— Just you, the stone, and your darned old nose.’’ Mr. Bartholf—“Did you have the truck out last night?” Dale—“Yes, Dad, I took some of the boys for a ride.” Mr. Bartholf -“Well, tell them I’ve found two of their lipsticks.” Mr. Galm: “So you propose to take my daughter from me without any warning?” Fran: “Not at all. If there’s anything con- cerning her, you want to warn me about, I'm willing to listen.” FOR THE TEACHERS Let me be a little kinder, Let me be a little blinder To the faults of those about me, Let me praise a little more. “And why do you always write to your girl on postcards instead of letters?” queried Tillie, the hLed girl, of Pete, the hired man. “Because,” fired back Pete, “I don’t care three cents for her.” Betsy: I’m going to sue Miss Hubbard for libel. Mary: Why? Betsy: She wrote on mv English paper “You have bad relatives and antecedents.” Sue: (After the crash) “I turned the way I signaled.” Errors Mary: “I know it. That’s what fooled me.” Mr. Parliman: “I would like a preparation of phenyisothicoyanate.” Drug Clerk: “Do you mean mustard oil?” Mr. Parliman: “Yes, I can never think of that name.” “?”: “There’s a certain question I’ve want- ed to ask you for weeks.” Linda: “Well, get a move on, I’ve had the answer waiting for months.” Amy was just home after her first day at school. “Well, darling,” asked her mother, “what did they teach you?” “Not much,” replied the child, “I’ve got to go again.” BUGS I think that I shall never view A bug as deadly as the flu, A bug whose hungry beak is pressed To aching muscles in my chest, A bug who drives me to my bed, With shaky legs and aching head. A bug that gives me fever chills And laughs at all the doctor’s pills. Poems are made by such as you. But what the heck can stop the Flu? Willie says that, if the man directing the high school football team is the football coach, and the girl who directs the basketball team is the basketball coach, the teacher who directs the plays should be the stage coach. Mrs. Gormley: “You always ought to use your napkin.” Bill: “I am using it. Mother, I’ve got the dog tied to the leg of the table with it.

Starting with a trip to Howe Caverns in the fall, we have seen and visited many other interesting places such as I.B.M., Texas (Texaco) Labora- tories, Chevrolet Plant, Paper Mill and WKNY- TV. Last year the group made trips to the following: 1. Universal-Atlas Cement Plant 2. Science Congress 3. Poughkeepsie Water Works 4. Catskill Game Farm We also had a project at the hobby show. It was a distilling unit. It consisted of many tubes, beakers, and condensores. The members of the club went into the lab during the noon hours, to work on the project. It was a lot of fun. To raise money, the Club had a food sale. We made $14.50. Next year the Science Club plans to con- tinue its work in promoting greater interest in Science.

This was a club reserved for the Seniors who like to take pictures. Each member supplied his or her own cam- era. Dues collected each week paid for the flashbulbs and films. From a list of the members, two people were chosen to take pictures each week. They were given flashbulbs and a film. At the end of th ehweek, they were required to turn in the film which was then developed and the resulting pictures were placed in a locker in the Home Economics room. Our purpose was to take pictures of any- thing or anyone—humorous, serious or candid —posed or unposed. The best pictures were chosen and appear in our 1955 “Pine Log.” Page seventy-three TRUMPETS: S. Greene W. Schutz M. Plass G. Hatch B. Dykeman A. Grant W. Klare B. Friske H. Armstrong D.

The band has been very successful this year and has made excellent showings—accom- panied by the twirlers in most of their ap- pearances. The twirlers, all being old timers, «did a splendid job and the tricks picked up at twirl- ing camp by Pam and Augusta helped this group to better themselves and to advance in their skill.

Burgevin Basketball cheerleading began early thiis year with the try-outs October 9, a month ahead of usual. The reason for this early sel- ection was that they were to receive new uni- forms. The squad decided that they wanted to keep the same style. Mrs. Herbert Kemp made the new outfits. The girls received their uniforms the day of the first game. Try-outs ended up with these results: Var- sity Old Hands”: Joan Archer, Pat Clancy, Virginia Couse, and Betsy Knickerbocker. New Comers”: Pat Archer, Audrey Grant, Pam Hol- den, and Martha Muller. Junior Varsity—“Old Hand”: Kathryn Wisbauer. “New Comers”: Judy Burgevin, Mary Lou Burnett, Yvette Dor- val, and Nettie Sweet. Previously, there have been seven girls on the VARSITY and five on JV, but because of so many try-out ties, eight were put on VAR- SITY. The Rooting Squad, which was formed last school year, helped the cheerleaders and also promoted school spirit. Page eighty-two Varsity Basketball Team First row, left to right: R. Schutz, R. Case, G. Second row, left to right: C. Holden, L. Thorpe, Harrington, D. Bartholf, H. Cahill F. Stanton, R. Parliman, R. Kilmer, E. Mc- Cauley, C. Dorval, W. Ashbee, Coach Barton This year’s Varsity basketball team had a very successful season. Six J. V. boys were brought up this year to add to the strength of the Varsity. At the start of the season Gary Harring- ton was elected Captain. The starting five were Bob Case and Harry Cahill as guards, Gary Harrington and Dale Bartholf as for- wards, and Ronnie Parliman as center. The games before the Christmas vacation saw Pine Plains go undefeated. Barton’s Bombers trimmed Roe Jan, Tivoli, Cardinal Farley, Staatsburg, and Wappinger Falls. When the boys came back to school, they were undefeated and maintained that position by trimming Red Hook. Next the Plainsmen played a superb Roosevelt High team, and lost their first game. At Oakwood the boys made up for the prev- ious idefeat by trimming the Quakers on their own court. Again the Plainsmen bucked up against Roosevelt and again were defeated. This time by a slimmer margin. Then Pine Plains started to compile an- other undefeated streak. They won 7 straight by defeating: Rhinebeck, Roe Jan, Wappingers, Tivoli, Staatsburg, Oakwood and Rhinebeck. The boys then traveled to Red Hook where they lost by a score of 59-64. This fin- ished up the season for the Plainsmen, and they put up a fine showing by winning the Class C Championship. The Plainsmen then traveled to Wappingers Falls to play Dover Plains for the C-D sec- tion trophy. The boys suffered their 4th defeat by a score of 43-41. This still gave the Bombers a chance at the Section 1, Class “C” Championship. They traveled again to Wappingers where they met up with Brewster. This time Pine Plains took command and won a decisive victory. This gave them another chance at Dover Plains. The Semi-final game was held at Arlington high school. It was a nip and tuck ball game all the way to the end. At the end of the fourth quarter the score was tied. They went into a three minute over time, and at the end of three minutes the score was again tied up. The next phase of the ball game was the “Sudden death” period where the first two points win. Jim Scott, a second stringer for Dover, threw in the decisive basket. Pine Varsity Basketball Continued on Page 87 Page eighty-throe J. V. Basketball Team First row, left to right: R. Goulette, F.

Coached and guided by the able hands of Mr. Caswell the team boasts a shiny 10 win and 3 loss record. To start the season the boys defeated Roe- Jan and Staatsburg before losing to Wappin- gers. They then proceeded to beat Red Hook, C. F. M. A. and Oakwood before losing again, this time an overtime battle to Roosevelt. Con- tinuing on the winning track they defeated Rhinebeck and Roe-Jan before losing a squeak- er to Wappingers 33-34. The boys finished the season with wins over Oakwood, Rhinebeck and Red Hook. Individual high scorers were Fran Barto- lomeo with 134 points and Hank Liebhart with a 10.1 point per game average. The first six were: Capt.

This year’s cheerleading squad got going with a “bang” by beginning practice the sec- ond week of school. The loud voices of the cheerleaders could be heard together two af- ternoons a week and at the games. The chilly air, when the girls were learning and improv- ing their cheering outside, invigorated them with new pep. The football cheerleading squad is com- prised of the previous year’s varsity and JV basketball cheerleaders. Because there were so few games, the girls didn’t have a captain, and each girl yelled cer- tain cheers. The girls cheered at four games, but missed the Haldane game, because of weather. The cheerleaders wish to express their ap- preciation for Mrs. Bosch’s help. Page eighty-five Football First row, left to right: Coach Barton, J. Smith, R. Hermans, W. Peck, R. Coons, C. Petty, P.

Cahill Not in picture: Asst. Coach Caswell The Pine Plains boys started out their seventh season by losing at the hands of Pawl- ing with a score of 13-6. The only touchdown came from Leroy Thorpe’s line buck from about the three yard line. After a postponement of the Litchfield game, Pine Plains traveled to Red Hook where they had hopes of a smashing victory over our oldesT rivals. The game was a lop-sided affair with Red Hook coming out on top with a score of 52-0—one of the worst defeats Pine Plains has ever suffered. Earl McCauley was injured and was sidelined for the next few games. Next the boys headed for Cold Spring where they met with the boys from Haldane. The day was cloudy and rainy and the boys really went at the game with enthusiasm. No matter how much effort they put in it, they just couldn’t muster up enough yardage to gain anything. Don Krom, co-captain, put in a sparkling game at Quarterback and defense. His quarterback sneaks worked exceptionally well. The Plainsmen lost the game by a score of 40-2. Page eighty-six Football Continued Pine Plains played host to Oakwood on their next outing, this being the first home game. The boys really poured on the steam. They bowled Oakwood over to the tune of 27-0. The touchdowns came on outstanding runs by Thorpe, Krom, and Bartolomeo, and a pass play from Krom to Harrington. The points after the touchdown were added by Moore and Harrington. A great deal of praise should go to the line who opened up beautiful holes for the backfield. The linemen were co-cap- tain Dick Hetherington, Gary Harrington, Fred Finkle, Jim Schwarze, A1 Place, John Menti and Harry Cahill. The last and final game of the season saw the Plainsmen lose to Coxsackie-Athens. This was a heart-breaking loss for several boys, as this was the last game for them. The score was 39-12. The 12 points came on a fullback play which saw Dick Moore bull his way into the end zone, and a pass from Krom to Har- rington. This year the following boys played their last football game under Coach Barton. They were: Don Krom, Leroy Thorpe, Gary Harring- ton, Dick Hetherington, Pete DiFalco, Harry Cahill, A1 Place, Jim Schwarze, and Earl Mc- Cauley. The returning boys will be: Francis Barto- lomeo, Fred Finkle, John Menti, Mel Reed, Phil Matragrano, Ray Teator, Dick Moore, Gerry Coons, Eugene Riccidelli, Dick Wilke, Don Cahill, Pat Smith, Toddy BaL and Allan Aroh.

Representative Miss West Patricia Brennan John Menti Allan Aroh A couple of days before football, basket- ball, and baseball games, you may have seen some clever signs encouraging the students to go to these games. If you did decide to attend, you most likely heard a lot of yelling from the sidelines. Both these examples are the work done by the Rooting Squad. Last year was the first year of an organ- ized Rooting Squad. It was very successful, and this year we have more members and more enthusiasm. When our team plays, we let them know that every student is backing them. Win or lose, they know they’re the greatest! One purpose of our club is to continue to support our teams by using bench cheers and by yelling right along with the cheerleaders. Another purpose is to promote better school spirit and to encorage students to attend all the games. The emblem of our club is a blue megaphone with a white “P on it. It was chosen by a majority vote of the members. This year’s Rooting Squad sincerely hopes that an even bigger and better group will be formed next year.

Harrison In Appreciation To the bus drivers who brought us to school each day, Our deepest gratitude and thanks we do pay; For extra activities when we needed a bus, They were willing to give up their time to help us. The beauty and neatness of our school is due To the work of the school custodians and their willingness too; We give our thanks to them with the rest, Because they are a group of the finest and the best. And we mustn’t forget some of our oldest friends, The ones toward whom we rush when the noon hour begins; Our thanks go to the Cafeteria Staff and the food they prepared, For we believe and know that for us they really cared. Page ninety-three No endeavor is in vain. Page ninety-six Thanks To each and every one of our advertisers and our supporters too, The Class of 1955 wishes to express their thanks so true; The huge success of our yearbook is largely due, To the help that came from each of you.

AMENIA, N. Y. — TEL. 4 and 5 Oawnwood Farms CALF NUTRITION PLAN Prominent veterinaries now recom- mend milk replacements for calf raising. They say calves have fewer stomach upsets and less setbacks be- cause these formulae arc more uni- form in fat content and safer than whole milk feeding. CAF-STAR is a better replace- ment with a pure skim milk base (no whey or buttermilk). It’s forti- fied with 11 valuable food elements —including Vitamins A and D to stimulate growth, and antibiotic Aurcomycin to help prevent scours. That’s why CAF-STAR is the balanced replacement formula that makes an excellent and really eco- nomical diet for calves. So send all your milk to market, feed CAF- STAR instead. You’ll save money and raise better calves.
