We have endeavored to share with you the important milestone that was our high school career. We, the graduating class, stand on the threshold of life, but as the years roll by and other memories fade, our beloved Alma Mater will always be remembered and cherished. If in the future years this book recalls but one forgotten friendship or event, our labors will not.have been in vain. 4- Dedication To Mrs. Marjorie Kibbe With deep and sincere grati tude for her years of devoted service to our Alma Mater, for her sympathetic under- standing of our needs, and for her splendid example of cooperation, we, the graduating class of 1956, affec- tionately dedicate our yearbook. 5 Who shall guide you and teach •who shall toil and suffer with you. you, Page Six 7 MR.

CLp picciatUm Looking back over the years which have passed all too quickly, we think of the happiness we have had, and the friends we have made. There have been many hours of pleasant entertainment; there have been hours of struggle, hard work, and despair. As we are about to leave the sheltered atmosphere of our school and look toward the years that are to come, our thoughts turn to our advisors who helped smooth the way for us. We appreciate more than these few words can say, tne friendliness, interest, and guidance given us by Mr. Caswell and Mr. Everts. We shall never forget their splendid spirit of cooperation and good fellowship.

Four years of friendship, laughter and strife- Things to remember the rest of our life. Now we are leaving P. P. C. S. What life will bring us we may only guess. But in our hearts Pine Plains High Will remain dear though years go by. A mountain is there; climb it. A wrong is there; right it. A challenge is there; meet it.

At last that day is really here; As we graduate and have to part, We'll take a long, long look at our school so dear. And walk away with love in each heart. But our love and tears are no avail; The parting will bring us pain. But the fun we've had; The friends we've made In memory will always remain. Carol Thurst Memwi a.

This bridge is a masterpiece of planning, complete with highways hotels, motels, resorts, railroads and stop-ofts for helicopters. As an added feature there is a special switch in the White House which can lower the whole bridge into the Atlantic Ocean in case of an enemy attack. Another switch en- ables it to resume its former position. We are indeed proud of these two master-minds who graduated in our own town with the Class of '56.

Since that time, everyone looks forward to the day when the names are announced and the new mem- bers brought into the Society. The purpose of the Society is to create and establish high ideals and worthwhile influences in the school.

The Band continued their good work again this year. The Ag. Fair Parade started them off in September. At Christmas they played for the PTA Program. In the spring they sponsored their own Band and Chorus Concert. Several members participated in the NYSSMA Festival in these differ- ent fields-twirling, vocal and instrumental. The twirlers, an intergral part of the Band, worked hard to perfect ensemble and solo routines. The Dixie-land Band, and innovation this year, gave freely of their time and talents to entertain at school activities. The Memorial Day Parade concluded a successful school year. 75 9tityd Sscda t Minced QAo %u. Left to right, 1st row; J. Harrington, L. Hearst, A. Offerman, V. Thurst, Y. Dorval, C.

The coming of fall ushers in the Football season, and although the fellows do the actual playing, they need inspiration and backing. That's where the cheerleaders come in. Although this year there weren't as many girls as in previous years, they just yelled all the louder and, win or lose, cheered their team on. The football Cheerieading Squad is made up of the girls left over from last year's members of the Basketball Varsity and Junior Varsity cheerleaders. A great deal of credit must go to Mrs. Bosch who gave her time and talents to help make the Fall of '55 a successful season. :JiwtfiaU The Pine Plains football team started out their eighth season by losing to Saugerties 13-2. The game was played on a wet field which hampered the Pine Plains attack. The next game wasplayed on homeground, and it was then that the boys in blue really showed what they had. They defeated the New Paltz team by a score of 13-0. Pine Plains played host to Pawling. And the boys were in very high spirits, expecting to take another easy victory as they had done previously. The Pine Plains team tried everything, to breakdown Pawling’s defense, but with no success. The boys in blue lost by the score of 19-0. The following week the Pine Plains boys- took to the road. Their spirits were high, they were determined to make Up for their loss to Pawling. The game was played on Coxsackies wet field. Bob Case the quarter back tried every play possible to get a touchdown. His efforts were finally rewarded when he threw a pass to Gene Ricciardelli for Pine Plains' first touchdown. But, the Pine Plains boys started their scoring too late in the game and they lost by the score of 26-6. The Pine Plains team came home for their next game, ready to defeat their oldest rival Red Hook. It was a fine day and the Pine Plains team was in extremely fine sWape. The boys in blue came on the field ready to claim a victory over Red Hook, The Pine Plains boys fought real hard, but the Red Hook team was too much for them. The Pine Plains backfield, did everything possible to get a touchdown, and themen on the line gave all the protection ever possible. But the Pine Plains team lost a very well fought game by the score of 51-0. Again the boys from Pine Plains were the hosts, but this timeto Holdane. It was a cleardayand although the elements were with Pine Plains, theystill couldn't master enough points to make a showing. Pine Plains lost 53-0. For the last game of the season the Pine Plains team went to Oakwood. There the boys in blue were de- termined to make a stand, and win their last game. The Oakwood team did their best to break their no-win record. Bob Case did some expert ball handling and his backfield showed excellent results. Bob Case, the quarterback, gave the ball to his right halfback Frank Flint, who managed to plow his way through the Oakwood line to get the only touchdown of the game. Pine Plains won 6-0. This year the following boys played their last game for Pine Plains Central. They are: John Menti, Mel Reed, Ray Teator, and Eugene Riccidelli. 83 Sia jkema[£ CAe tleaduity Left to right: 1st. row.

On the afternoon of Oct. 27 loud cheers could be heard from the gym, the occasion was the annual Basketball cheerleader try-outs, 25 high school girls turned out and the judges had a difficult time in making their decisions as the competition was tough. However the final results were; six new girls, five on J. V. and one on Varsity, the six veteran cheerleaders made up the difference on the Varsity squad. Rehearsals were held twice a week in the beginning, but were reduced to one after the first game. These were spent perfecting old cheers and learning new ones. The rotation system was again used in de - termining the captain for each game. Both squads dida terrific job in cheering theirteam on to victory this year as in the past, however, without the help and guidance of Mrs. Bosch this would not have been possible. 84 Vxixsitif ffiaaJketfkM 1st.

This year’s basketball team had a very successful season. Only two boys remained from last year’s team, but with eight new members the Pine Plains boys did a fine job. Their first game was a thrilling one with Roe Jan. It was an away game which we lost 40 to 36. The next two were withRhinebeck and Statsburg. We won these by scores of 53 to 27 and 53 to 23 respective- ly. The next game was with our rivals Red Hook. We lost the game by the close score of 38 to 32. The following nine games were all victories for the Pine Plains squad. They were Roosevelt, Wap- pingers, C. F. M. A., Tivoli, Oakwood, Statsburg, Rhinebeck, Roe Jan, and Wappingers. The boys then traveled to Red Hook to avenge their defeat. They all tried their best but they lost the game by the score of 67 to 41. The next two victories were over C. F. M. A. and Tivoli. There are two games left in the season at this writing but we are sure that the squad will do a fine job. This is the last season for R. Case, R. Schutz, R. Schumann, A. Aroh, C. Holdeen, andB. Sanford. They have all done a fine job and we are very proud of them. P. P. Opp. P. P. Opp. P. P. Opp. Roe-Jan 38 40 Tivoli 41 18 C, F. M.

The team started off on the wrong foot by losing to both Roe-Jan and Rhinebeck, but they soon caught on and beat Staatsburg to the tune of 40-36. They broke their one game winning streak by losing to Roose- velt 33-51 and Wappingers 32-51. By this time the boys in blue were determined to make a stand, They beat CFMA, Oakwood, Rhinebeck, and Roe Jan, before they were defeated by Wappingers. The Pine Plains boys lost their next two games to Red Hook, and CFMA. Their final total for the season being, six wins and seven losses. Vis. P. P.

To do this we use megaphones, blue and white shakers, and most important, bench cheers which let the fellows know we are behind them all the time. The Rooting Squad has grown this year to include around 60 members. We feel it has improved its organization and will continue to improve in the future years. 88 89 The deeds you wrought are not in vain. Page Ninety CUSTOjv CAFETERIA STAFF Left to right: Mts.

They say calves have fewer stomach upsets and less setbacks be- cause these formulae are 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 Aureomycin 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. In pails or bags. Feeding directions inside the package.
