Our young men met the final test, to demonstrate again, the dependence of na- tional welfare on education. lt is therefore, fitting and proper, that our yearbook be dedicated to the memory of those who paid the supreme sacrifice. May we ever be grateful for the sacrifice they made, as well as appreciative of the grevious loss suffered by their families and loved ones. MAX A. REUTERSHAN X an fir ,aff Q . 1 . ,.

Ecard of Zchacaiian t ELECTED from our city's leading citizens, the Poughkeepsie Board of Education has continued its almost endless task of making our high school a better and more pleas- ant institution of learning. Because of the cessation of war, readiustments have had to be made. Some sub- jects such as radio, Morse code and the more strenuous physical education courses have been abandoned, while refresher courses in mathematics and a number of trade school subiects have been added for the benefit of the veterans, who have returned to us in large numbers. Emphasis on health work has been continued, though, due to lack of space, some regular gymnasium classes have been temporarily discontinued. The high school building has received some much needed repairs upon its roof, but the chief interest of the board seems to have been consideration of a new high school, After radio and newspaper publicity had been given to the matter, several com- mittees were formed to consider the needs of a new building as well as its cost and most likely site. These committees have been performing their duties with such enthusiasm and definite effort that it seems certain that Poughkeepsie will have a new high school in the not too distant future, Thus this year's board of education, which is composed of Dr. James E. lvlcCam- bridge, President, Col. Henry Daniels, Mr. Frank DeGilio, Mrs. E. Sterling Carter, and Mrs. Arthur l-landley, has contributed generously to the needs of the students of Poughkeepsie l-ligh School. llgi? 311 THE class of I946 owes an everlasting debt ot gratitude to its three friendly advisers, whose sincere encouragement throughout the year has inspired many to more suc- cessful scholastic accomplishments. Max A. Reutershan, our principal and kindly adviser, will always be remembered for his patience and continuous faith in us. l-lis sincere interest in our many activities has endeared him to all. l-larry R. Myers, our etticient vice-principal, will be remembered for his helpful advice and constant sympathy. Harold l. Long, our assistant principal, has gained our admiration and respect for the time and energy he has so willingly contributed toward solving our problems. l. av 'Q J, ,5- ' 1 X 1 , , 0? f ,-,-.-I U L ... kt-,Q ' '- ' K .M:,..1j I 5 L. ...ggi R S 3:43 N Q N IffL ki Uv .

Staunch members of other classes have fought, and even made the supreme sacrifice, in order to bring this cherished dream to fruit. All over the globe they grappled in a life and death struggle with the forces of tyranny, finally emerging victorious. Al though the Class of i946 has been spared actual combat on the battlefield, there is an encounter before us, too. lt falls to our lot to fight the forces of evil and hate throughout the world. We must contest intolerance, discord and bigotiy at every turn. Were we to fail in this task, the seeds of an even more catastrophic war will have been planted. Our high school years have provided the education and associations essential to the success of our task. lt rests with each individual alone to utilize this sound foundation to make himself a better citizen of the United States and the world. The l946 Phois as its share in this new era has chosen One World as its theme. This is proper, for a golden epoch of peace depends on the universal brotherhood, justice and cooperation of all the peoples of the earth. Turning to the words of Tennyson we find expression for these aspirations, Till the war drum throbb'd no longer, and the battle flags were furl'd, In the Parliament of man, the Federation of the World. There the common sense of most shall hold a fretful realm in awe, And the kindly earth shall slumber, lapt in universal law. HOWARD EFFRON, Editor-in-Chief. gs.

We, the class of l9-46, are about to pass into the pages of the history of P. H. S., leaving behind us a blazing path of glory and triumphs. 1 As Freshmen we were at first bewildered, but soon found our place and began im- mediately to make the upperclassmen sit up and take notice. We participated whole- heartedly in the debates, declamations, school athletics and Victory Corps. Already the shining lights of our class were burning brightly. Encouraged by early success, we sped swiftly along and passed through our Sopho- more year. Our trumpets were singing out stronger. ln our Junior year we broke all precedents and produced the most unusual and most successful Junior Prom ever witnessed. Our class practically produced and fur- nished the cast for the annual play which, of course, was a huge success. Our class was rapidly taking the lead in all fields of activities. The trumpets were blowing ever louder. Finally we arrived on D floor-Seniors at last! ln this, our last and most successful year, we lived up to all expectations and came through with a spectacular Senior Prom, produced leaders in Science, Mathematics, Dramatics, Music and Athletics. Our star was shining brightly, and the trumpets played their loudest for our final and greatest achievement-ethe Phois of l946. Now, as the trumpets play the recessional, we pause with diplomas in our hands and remember. We remember those of our class who are not with us but in the armed forces, we remember little things such as dates, dances and football games just like a history book, which is what this Phois isl Now the trumpets die away. , genial: Inq ALAS, came June after the Class of '46 had mopped their brows and struggled on through a year of hard work to the finishing line in order to graduate from dear old P. l-l. S. With June came all the honors and glory of being graduating Seniors. To celebrate this notable event, the Senior class planned and carried out one whole day especially dedicated to them. ' On June 24th, Senior Day began with a luncheon. The committee for the luncheon included Selma Schecter, chairman, Joseph Tofel, Martha Graham, Annette Yerrick and Dan Meyerson. Besides enjoying a delicious meal, the class was entertained by A Dip lnto The Future, the theme of the luncheon, which portrayed what various members of the class would be doing several years hence. Although slightly contrary to reality, the entertainment was a wonderful success. Those responsible for the skit were John Payne, Chairman, Harriet Goldstein, Florence Vantella, Margaret Walsh and Richard Terry. . Other highlights of the luncheon, which was held at the Nelson l-louse, were the Senior spade oration by John Payne, and the Junior spade oration by Sheila Walsh. The day was successfully ended by the Senior Dance which was held in the Y. M. C. A. gym. The theme of the dance, The Big Dipper was beautifully portrayed with Jean Cashin and Bob Becker acting as chairmen of the affair. The rest of the committee included-Mary Weglinski, Frank Aiena, Ed Dow, Dick King and Jean Cashin. i MARTHA ADELIZZI 24 No. Randolph Avenue Girls' Glee Club l, 3, Monitor l, Junior Prom 3, Phois Staff 4, First Aid, Victory Corps l, 2, 3, Cap and Gown Committee 4, A.

The Seniors have again reached the high goal set by their predecessors, The l946 Phois is worthy of its place of honor among the outstand- ing yearbooks of Poughkeepsie High School's past. Only through the untiring efforts of our editors and with the aid of worthy advisers have we succeeded in turning out a yearbook which meets the high standard set for us by the staffs of former years. Our Phois means a great deal to us as did each preceding book to its respective class. We leave behind our yearbook not only as a lasting review of the class of '46, but also as a fond memorial to the sons of Poughkeepsie High School who gave their lives in the war. We remember our able editor and assistant editor, Howard Effron and Paul Williams, Betty Scofield and her excellent work as literary editor, Stanley Hamilton and camera, Incorporated, Marty Heller and Grace Taylor for their success in Advertising and Circulation, Emanuela Farrug- gella, our typist, and the Art Honorary Society. Uur special thanks and appreciation to our advisers--Miss Haight, Miss Pattrell, Miss Torg- esen, Mr. Bartlett, Mr. l-leineman and Mr. Seeber for their aid and encouragement. A word of thanks goes also to the Juniors, Sophomores and Freshmen for their respective pages. We hope that you who read the '46 Phois will gain as much enjoyment as we have producing it.

Senicva pawn UTE little cupids perched all around Bows and arrows their marks have found, Reddest hearts and streamers, too, All this means our Senior Prom come true. As Co-chairmen, Lillian Parker and Don Lindsley, piloted us over a none too smooth course and did a bang-up job of it. Bob Robertson designed the novel bids, and Barbara Scott headed the very capable decoration committee, consisting of Joanna Antonakos, Fannie White, Carol Lindholm, Doris Parkton, Shirley Owens and Jane Anne Stone. Ot course we can't slight the male assistants, Don Carhart, Al Meier and Andy Ceroni, who had the tedious job of sitting atop high ladders putting up the curtains. We received our invitations through the work of Jean MacKennan, chairman, and her assistants, Faye Wolpe, Nancy McDivitt and Bill Winkler. We danced to the strains of Dominic Cava- lieri's orchestra, thanks to Aetius Lawrence and Fred Anderson. However, we couldn't have danced without bids, which Mary l-ladigan, Eleanor Opitz and Nancy Feldsine procured. Naturally we had to eat, so Anne Darrow, Florence Vantella and Marianna Burnett put their heads together to produce some delectable refreshments. Kay Doyle, Phyllis Fein and Edward Plog rounded up the chaperons, and the inevitable job of clean- ing up was lett to Sherwood Thompson, chairman, and his helpers, Don Davis, Larry Wolf, Richard Togna, and Charlie Gallucci. Our guiding light-and believe us we needed onee-was Miss l-laight. A big red heart to her for her untiring aid in making the l-leart's Delight Senior Prom of I946 successful.

Two years ago, however, the class of '47 was just another group of eager freshmen. They distinguished themselves by plunging whole-heartedly into the school life and joining every organization and club in P. H. S. National honors went to N. E. l.. that year because of talented freshmen. Locutores, Deliso, and the Dramatic Club became suddenly more important and meaningful because our pep made them so. ln our sophomore year, realizing we couldn't do everything, we concentrated our energies. Each one of us strengthened noticeably the group into which his interests led him, As a result we now have a streamlined cheering squad, expert and enthusiastic, Alice Oepen, Jean Bauer, Mary Taylor, l-lelen Sotanski, and Shirley Dickerson, girls with plenty of pep, have worked this metamorphosis. The Technical Club is almost entirely a junior groupj without Charlie Hoffman, Edward Wallin, and Bob Tiel we could never produce plays and assemblies. Miriam McGrath's golden voice has filled our auditorium many times and Gus Poulimas' violin has thrilled us all. The Glee Club has many junior voices, Margaret Maroney, Alice Colligan, l-lelen Travis, Muriel Kahn, Bettijean Erts, Helene Brewer, Nancy Quinterro, and Charlanne James. As for class officers how could we have better shown our wisdom? They are Robert l-ladden, Margaret Purcell, John Feldsine, and Barbara Randall. A The reader must admit that we are a powerful force, a big and important cog in the wheel of P. H. S. Modesty prevents our saying more than that we are proud indeed of the class of '47. James Porter Jim is really getting up in the world, the way he pushes Kings and Queens around. Ernest Parisella The Magic Fingers of P. H. S. Dot Couse lf Dot is going to be a nurse, l'll be sick once a week. Kay Mowell Kay is almost 5 feet now, oh well, you know the old saying, Good things come in small packages. Bob Hempe How the girls do love, that wave, Bob, is it natural or does your mother have a curling iron? Shirley Dickerson Tall, sweet, and very Slim Thomas Mackey Tom is taking American History but it's all Greek to him. Margaret Purcell When Peggy was born the Almighty said, Let's make her short and sweet. Barbara Pitcher Fun and good humor describe Barbara to a T , Vincent Kilmer Vinnie's dancing feet make him a favorite among all of us. Gus Poulimas A young man with promise -Gus and his Stradivarius. Ann Van Wagner Van is out for a Whalen good time. John Feldsine ' John isn't conceited, ask him and he'Il say, l don't think l'm half so good as l really am. ' Effie Verven Come on out, Effie! We see you, even though you are wearing your camouflage coat. ' Irene Bush . lrene with her quick wit and friendly way enlivens many, otherwise dull classes. Sigmund lsrael Our mathematical genius looks carefully at all figures Charlanne James Her come-on smile and twinkling eyes make Clay hard to resist. Barbara Plumb lf The way to a man's heart is through his stomach, Barbara will certainly get her man. Edward Wallin We all know that Ed didn't put those dents in his father's Nash, don't we? Robert Bub ' His love for music and Joan bring Bob to band rehearsals every morning. Ruth Tiger Wonder it this Tiger had anything to do with the devouring of McCoy? Catherine Oepen Did you ever hear her laugh? Don't! lt's dangerous. Alan Lorber Quote, Why was I born handsome and smart instead of conceited? Unquote. Donald Whitmore Hollywood advice: Don't waste your time with physics, Don, when you can have things like Anne Roberts in Act 2. I I Richard McNair A A quiet lad, who knows how to win friends as well as catch a football. Jean Bauer Jean, with that bright red hair and that gay laugh, can be snotted anywhere. r P AM K x X Z ua Q Q E uh 3 o it 2 o K ua 5 52 as ec 4 I Z 4 Q ns as 4 I d 4 I ni Z u Q Q 4 I Q 2 4 z L, GAR!!

This year's Junior Promenade turned out to be a royal affair, just as everyone knew it would. l-low could they miss with such capable, enthusiastic chairmen as Peggy Purcell and Bobby Doyle? The prom was held on May 25 with Dominic Cavalieri's solid music putting all the dancers in the mood. Rhapsody in Blue was the satisfying theme that the decorations and bids were built around. The walls of the gym were covered with pictures of all the blues songs. Many long hours were spent by the committee in planning and carrying out the plans, but all the stu- dents were so pleased with the result that they forgot about the labor! Many thanks to our faculty advisers, Mrs. Kirby and Mr. Seeber, for helping us to achieve our success.

F. L. Also in Freshman year, we won recognition when one of our classmates placed first in Humorous Declamation. Some of our more musical students received l ratings at the competition held at Pleasantville. The Freshmen inexperienced debate teams tied for first place in the Eastern New York State tournament in December. The Freshmen class was also repre- sented at the New York State N. F. L, Preliminaries. The annual play, What a Life, was composed of many members of our class. Not satisfied with our accomplishments in our first year, we proceeded further in our second year and commenced by electing our very capable class officers: President, Bob Stoutenberg, Vice-President, Ruth Schaefer, Treasurer, Joe Bailey, and Secretary, Joyce Dattoli. Many star players on the football, basketball, baseball, and track teams were our own classmates. Freshman debaters of the last year advanced to Varsity teams. Later in the year we won the coveted Sophomore-Junior cup. Again Class of '48'ers gained important parts in the annual play, this year Our Town, As we look back at our past successes in our Freshman and Sophomore years, with great anticipation we await the completion of our High School career, interpolated with even more outstanding accomplishments.

S. opened wide its arms of hospitality and fondly greeted a crowd of bewildered freshmen, ln the auditorium, all of us, coached by Mr. Myers, received our first lesson in l-ligh School manners and conduct, Our first day was con- fused because we were taunted by the upper-classmen , we climbed the wrong stairs, and we found ourselves in the science room for social studies. Gradually, we became accustomed to the strange antics of our upper classmen, as well as the surroundings and procedure. During the course of the year, we elected capable representatives of the freshmen group to act as our governing body. Our president is Jane Ann lvlulvey, while Bill Hoover, Marenes Tripp, and Lois Garrison constitute her competent staff. Many got right in the swing of things by joining the extracurricular activities in the school. Band, Camera Club, Chorus, Debating, Dramatics, and Girls' Freshmen Athletic Association are only a few of the many enjoyments in which the freshmen are duly represented. We showed our ability by raising the most money in the Bond Drive, by selling the most tickets to the humorous debate, and by participating in the drama, Our Town. Yes, freshmen may come and freshmen may go, but the class of '49 will try its best to hold in high esteem the good name and traits of P. l'l. S. Name Patricia McManus Marilyn A.

The skilled machinists and tool- makers of tomorrow are receiving their training now in our Trade School and thousands like it. Trade School is an important part of the school system at present because it fits many for skilled trades. Through the Trade School many of those students with mechanical minds are given the opportunity to develop their talents. Tracle,School is more or less of a proving ground for students. The courses offered give students the opportunity to prove to themselves and their associates whether or not they have the necessary essentials tor becoming machinists or toolmakers. lf they lack some of the vital qualities, they discover it in time to receive an education in an- other field. Those possessing the necessary qualifications are able to develop their talents and skills and receive expert advice or assistance. Actually a student must be a sophomore before he enters Trade School. During his first year of high school the student receives instruction in English, Social Studies, General Science and Introduction to Machine Shop Practice. l-lis sophomore year is devoted to English 2, Trade Mathematics, Shop Theory, Trade Science and Mechanical Drawing. ln his third year the student studies English 3, Physics, Shop Mathematics, and Engineering Drafting 2. Seniors are required to take Fourth Year English, Trade Mathematics, Engineering Drafting 3, and American l-listory. For the entire three year period the students receive three hours a week shop work under the direction of Mr. Carter at the Trade School. Mr. Durfey gives the instruction in related subjects in the l-ligh School. Doubtless many students will elect to take the Trade School course in the future because of the stress being laid on skilled labor. Our trade school has the equipment necessary to train thoroughly these students. The school has a wide assortment of pre- cision instruments and machinery. Such machines as the turret lathe, milling machine, grinder and gear hobbler are at the disposal of the trainees. We are more than confident that many of the students from our Trade School will become leaders in the field of industry.

Many problems were brought up at the meetings, with a large percentage of these prob- lems being solved. Our first undertaking was the revision of the G. O. constitution. Under the new provision, members of the Sophomore class are allowed to serve as officers of the G. O. Formerly only Juniors and Seniors were allowed to hold office. The reason for this change is to give the lower classes a chance to receive training in the governing of the G. O., which they will be able to use later on if they are elected to the G. O. Another change is the extension of the term of office of G. O. officers from one-half year to a full year. Pre- vious to this the term was so short that a person just became accustomed to his office when it expired. This measure will un- doubtedly remedy the situation and bring better efficiency to the administration of the G. O. During the year our G. O. became a member of The Dutch- ess County lnterschool Student Association which had been formed to promote good interschool relationships. The members of the G. O. wish to express their appreciation to Mr. Longley for his untiring help, since our success was only possible because of his help. The officers for i945-i946 were Robert Becker, President, Joseph Havens, Vice-President, Grace Taylor, Secretary, Kathryn Donahue, Treasurer. General Organization- We point with pride- First Row: J.

Each morning at eight-thirty and each noon at one-five these sentinels of the law and order of Poughkeepsie High are seen heroically withstanding the wave of traffic surging around them. On D floor, John's able assistant was Aetius Lawrence, who, it might be noted, succeeded in getting to their posts on time, some of the members of the gentler sexl?l by turning a deaf ear on their complaints of needing their beauty rest. -Well, Flo, Janet and Shirley, it was fun though, wasn't it? How did you always get there so early, Mildred Postoff. Though a severe task master at times, Fred Anderson, cap- tain of C floor, performed his duty nobly, greatly aided by the promptness of Muriel Kahn, Barbara Pitcher, Peggy Maroney and Don Whitmore. The shining countenances of Jack Sacher and Gloria Betros were always an encouraging sight as we trudged up to B floor. Captain McCoy Kichar and later Captain Bill Davis of B floor, must have had something to do with their promptness. Red- headed, giggling Romola Rosen added spice to B floor. We should give a hand to those faithful A floor monitors, the first to arrive and the last to leave their posts. Nice going! Of course, we cant forget that poor orphan, the annex. For the first semester each monitor had a chance to be captain for a week, but in the middle of the year Harry Bieber was elected permanent captain. Viewing Poughkeepsie High's crowded halls at the change of classes, we have to give a hand to the efficient management of this year's monitor force. Mon i tors-Bewa re I First Row: N. Fleck, L.

Our quota was doubled after the 153,000 had been raised in a short time, and at the conclusion of the drive, we were able to report the purchase of bonds and stamps to the total of 555,800 Sales were greatly stimulated by the presentation of a melodrama, The Fright of the Bumblebees, written and produced by a group of enthusiastic bond salesmen. The originators were Dorothy Couse, Mario Biscardi, Louis Schwartz and Natalie Fleck. Breathless Bumblebee, portrayed by Selma Schecter, was about to be evicted with her family by the ruthless landlord, a villain called itchy Blackheart, played by John Feld- sine. Ma and Pa Bumblebee, in normal life Natalie Fleck and Richard Capano, proved no help at all, even with a shotgun, in keeping a roof over their heads. Breathless was about to be forced to carry itchy, when out from the west came our hero, Habeus Corpus, enacted by Larry Wolf. With the aid of the O. P. A. and the Rent Control, Habeus won not only the house but Breathless, the sweet heroine. The play was a wonderful climax to a successful bond drive. Bond Sales'-Hats 'off to you! First Row: H.

However, the weariness and dreamy thoughts of lying in bed soon vanish as the orchestra tunes up and begins a work-out on Johann Strauss' Artist Life ,or The Optimist by A. J. Weidt. This year the organization has been noticeably increased by the addition of several Freshmen and Sophomores who have excellent ability. On several occasions, assembly programs have included the orchestra's beautiful arrangements, Some other appearances were at January Graduation exercises, the Memorial Service for P. H. S. boys in service, the annual play, Our Town, and the June Graduation exercises. This year's activities and rehearsals have been enjoyed by all the members because of the expert directing ot our new conductor, Mr. Luther Hawkins, and the efficiency ot the otti- cers, which included Robert Becker, President, Gus Poulimas, Vice-President, Jane Kamen, Secretary, Delores Naylor, Treas- urer. As the season closes, the orchestra can look back upon a long-to-be-remembered year and feel that the early morning rehearsals were not in vain. Orchestra-Top heavy? First Row: E. Walther, R.

Band started another season by electing the officers who were to lead it through an eventful and a successful year. The officers elected were Paul Williams, President, Bob Hadden, Vice-President, Art Whitney, Treasurer, and Joan Becker, Secretary. McCoy Kichar and Robert Fitz- patrick were appointed as librarians. Under the leadership of Mr. Hawkins, the Band got off to a flying start. ' At the football games the Band worked closely with the cheerleaders to build up a lusty and effective support for the team. Two new pieces, The Locomotive and We Want a Touchdown, in which the Band acted as a separate cheering section, soon became well known by the Blue and White rooters and were sung loudly by all. For the first time since the beginning of the war, the Band was able to travel with the team to the out-of-town games. On October 6, the Band went to Port Jervis with the team and, though there was a steady drizzle of rain, staunchly supported the team with snappy rendi- tions of On Poughkeepsie! and Go, Pough- i keepsie, Go! On October 27, a longer trip to i Schenectady was made, and although the game was lost, the playing of the Band kept up the fighting spirit of the team and rooters until the final gun was fired, All members of the Band are deeply grateful for the efforts of the group of students who organized the two Tag Day as- semblies to raise money for the out-of-town trips. After the football season the Band settled down to learn classical pieces for the annual con- cert and the Music Festival and competition held in Hudson, and made a fine showing at both.

Under the direction of Miss Mar- guerite Waters, it has participated in numerous events, making this year one of the most successful. Besides singing at the traditional Memorial Services, the Glee Club has sung for the January Graduation Exercises, P. T. A. Meetings, and various lectures at the High School. During the Christmas Season, the Club appeared with the A Capella Choir rendering a group of Christmas carols at the Yuletide Assembly Program. This group of about fifty girls meets every Thursday afternoon to sing such favor- ites as The Pilgrim Song, The Snow, and The Bells of Aberdovyf' While accomplishing their musical goals, the girls enjoy companionship, conviviality and mutual understanding. Among the competent young musicians who entered the State Music Finals last spring were Lena Scheib, Natalie Fleck, Melanie Zimmer, Miriam McGrath, Florence Vantella, Lillian Parker, and a special group of eight girls forming an octette. For the first time in many years, the whole Glee Club sang in the Spring Finals and received commendable praise.

Mary Lou Taylor, as vice-presi- dent, helped keep the laws and the music in order, while secretary Jean Becker kept a stern eye on the attendance book, The choir has enjoyed the rehearsals twice a week, because of the unusual reper- toire they have collected. Among this collection you will find Sweet and Low and Calm be Thy Sleep by the great composer and arranger Noble Cain, Psalm lSO composed by Franck. A modern air has also been added with Duke Ellington's composi- tion Mood Indigo, and the spiritual Sit Down, Servant arranged by Fred Warring. The best loved of all their songs was Send Out Thy Light, a beautiful song written by Fr. Jos. Schuetky. The choir this year contained forty-seven mixed voices. Our football team was well represented in the bass and tenor sections. When an assembly program was presented by the choir, Gus Poulimas, Poughkeepsie High School's violinist, and Gladys Stein, our most talented pianist, were the guest artists. The music of choir and artists was greatly enjoyed by the High School audience. Another program was presented at Christmas time in conjunction with the Girls' Glee Club, during which the Yuletide spirit was extolled to the P. H. S. students.

Few of us realize what this peculiar slang, that the .members of the Tech Club use, means, but on it rests the coordination in lighting that we see at our assembly programs. These boys are rendering a great service to our school. Besides operating the public address sys- tem and the complex switchboard, there are numerous other jobs which they are called upon to do, such as operating the motion picture projectors, both at the assemblies and in various classrooms, lighting for concerts, and having charge ot lighting effects for the annual school play. They have three degrees of achievement. Apprentice is first, for the aspiring young Freshmen who have been accepted into the club. After the ap- prentice has realized the fundamentals of operating various pieces of equipment, he becomes a technician. Finally, when he has become accomplished and learned with all intricacies of this equipment, he is made a master technician on completing his minimum length of service, a year. The club's assignments are received from both Mr. Reutershan and Mr. Myers. The club is grateful for the guidance that it receives from Mr. Heinemann, their faculty adviser. Richard l-lartung was President of the club during the Fall semester, but with his graduation in January, Robert Tiel was elevated to the Presidency, with Jack Meade, Vice-President, Charles l-loffman, Secretary, and Edward Wallin, Treasurer. Other members are George Coons, Kermit Boeckel, and Nelson Dewey. Technical Club-- Inside Man First Row: E. Rood, J. Wandres, R. Rosen, R. Lindholm, G. Poulimas, J. Payne, G. Betros, D. Whitmore, E.

With the fine group of beginning freshmen in our club, impersonations, impromptu plays and declamations showed great promise. ln addition, the veterans Anne Roberts, Selma Schecter, Florence Vantella and l-larriet Goldstein gave a professional air to any clubs and school activities in which they participated. Although the dramatic climax of the school year was the double performance of Our Town on February 28th and March lst, the high spot of the club activity was the gay Christmas party around the Dramatic Club tree in the main hall. Games, refreshments and presents helped to make this a festive occasion. C The officers were John Payne, President, Gus Poulimas, Vice-President, Gloria Betros, Secretary, Donald Whitmore, Treasurer. Dramatic Club-One ln a Million! X Um '7awn A PRODUCTION equal if not superior to that of a Broadway company in Europe this winter, was the comment of a veteran who saw the first night presentation of Our Town on February 28, l9-46. A cast better than any other previous matinee group, was the statement of many people who have been following high school plays for some years. Indeed, the subtle characterization of seasoned actors-Anne Roberts, Florence Vantella, Edith Simon, Fannydean Simon, Miriam McGrath, Fred Anderson, William Pappas, John Payne, Donald Whitmore, Mario Biscardi and Constantine Poulimas- justified the selection of this Pulitzer Prize play as the school's annual production. In addition, the assistance of the newcomers to our stage-Edward Romano, Milton Drury, Marvin Rosenthal, Melvin Weiss, Richard Laramee, Jack Sacher, and many others- made possible two remarkable performances of Our Town. Such actors in colorful costume under skillful lighting made this tragedy an unforgettable memory equal to Elizabeth the Queen, Mary of Scotland, Beau Brummell, Berkeley Square, and Watch on the Rhine, former triumphs of P. l-l.

C.J had a dramatic and sudden beginning back in October when, in order to raise funds to send the l-ligh School Band to Port Jervis for the football game, a group of students joined forces and in three days produced the successful assembly entitled Storkacapana. The group was headed by Florence Van- tella, with John Payne, Janet Cutler, Jack Sacher, Natalie Fleck, Shirley Schilling and many others. Since then a great number of enthusiastic students have joined the ranks of the club and have greatly enjoyed participation in such an active group. In Storkacapana the school's most outstanding talent was collected, including the Simon twins, Constantine Poulimas, Harriet Goldstein, Lillian Parker, Jane Kamen and Johnny Spadaro, to mention just a few. Charging fifteen cents, the club collected the amount needed, with a sufficient surplus to aid them in their next endeavor, sending the band to Schenectady. Again, the group tried their hand at producing, with the result that the Nonsense and Conse- quence assembly was a laugh hit. l-lowever, the biggest triumph of the years was the Arab- ian Dreams assembly which was a lavish production complete with costumes and scenery. The diligence and hard work of nearly forty participants and committee members was rewarded by the enthusiastic applause and praise of the capacity audience. Donald Wood, Buck-Wheat, was hilarious as the comedian, while lrwin Kalisher as the Arabian Princess created much laughter. Again we find outstanding talent in the cast: the Starettes, Ernest Parisella, Lillian Parker, Rudolph Feola, The Simon Twins, and the simply marvelous Rhythm Band, plus dancing girls, hand maidens, prop men and attendants. Arabian Dreams was rightfully pronounced an excellent assembly, for an excellent cause. , S T C-Cute Tricks First Row: R. Hoag, J. Tofel, D. Meyersan, F. Anderson, J. Porter, J. Treyz Second Row: J.

S., the Chess Club enjoyed a highly successful season in its second year of existence. included in the Club's expanded program were such activities as intramural tournaments, inter-scho- lastic matches, rapid transit chess contests, ladder ratings, a new form of chess called kriegspiel, visits to convalescent centers to teach chess to wounded veterans as part of their rehabilitation program and exhibitions by champions. The season opened with a preliminary tournament of twenty-four entrants to de- termine the varsity and iunior varsity teams. Later the Club held a final tourney to decide the place of each member on the team. Ladder ratings were introduced, which award points for winning games and indicate the relative strength of each player. ln clinching the unofficial Hudson Valley High School Chess Championship, Poughkeepsie High School's varsity chess team overran eight area opponents without a defeat. With Poughkeepsie's Big Three, Captain Dan Meyerson, James Porter, and Fred Anderson showing the way, decisive victories were scored over Kingston, Liberty, Saugerties and Anderson School of Staatsburg. Joe Tofel, Ace Lawrence and Harold Sutton rounded out the squad with John Treyz, Charles Hoag, Seymour Sack and Jonah Sherman filling in as reserves. Non-area team matches were held with West Point, Vassar, Forest Hills, and Jacob Joseph and Samuel Tilden High Schools of New York City. Besides enjoying its undefeated season, the club also feels proud in introducing many persons to the intrigue of chess as well as hastening the hours for the wounded veterans at Castle Point. Much credit is especially due to the club's fac- ulty advisers, Mr. Bigelow and Mr. Chisholm, whose :levoted guidance insured the season's success. Offi- cers of the club included Dan Meyerson, President, Fred Anderson, Vice-President, James Porter, Treas- urer, and Aetius Lawrence, Secretary. Chess Club-Master Minds at Work First Row: W.

Helen Hendricks and Louise Tufenkiian presented vivid demonstrations on oil coloring of photographs. At one meeting, the students' knowledge of the use of flashbulbs was greatly increased by a sound motion picture.

Several members submitted prints to the national contest at Rochester, New York.

S. is on the Beam, The Signal Cheer, and the Sam Kalloch Cheer, planned and held a February sport dance in the gym in honor of the basketball players, The squad is grateful to Miss Davies, their faculty adviser, who offered much help and as- sistance to them during the year. The students of P. l-l. S. extend their appreciation to the cheerleaders for their efforts to make the athletic contests of '45 - '46 highly successful ones. l First Row: R. Porazzo, V. De Felice, L.

Only four regulars and a few experienced reserves from last year's all-winning team were back in uniform this year. Taking these facts into consideration, the season might be considered a moderately successful one. The opening game was played against Port Jervis. Here the questionable Pough- keepsie team proved themselves good ball handlers by scoring 26 points to the oppo- nent's 6. The following week P. H. S. defeated Saunders Trade, to run their winning streak up to l l straight games. Sookie Thompson deserves special credit for the job he did ln the third game, played against Pleasantville, Ace Law- rence ledithe running and scoring attack with two long runs and two touchdowns. In the closing minutes Ralph Porazzo, who had played well all afternoon, intercepted a Pleasantville pass and was off on a long run climaxed by a touchdown. Pough- keepsie's scoring spree resulted in a 26-7 victory for the Blue and White. The following week a confident Poughkeepsie team travel- led to Schenectady where they were defeated by Nott Terrace. Chaminade came to Poughkeepsie seeking to avenge last year's humiliating defeat. They used a tricky T formation that baffled the Blue and White, and P. H. S. suffered a l-4-6 defeat. A twice defeated P. H. S. squad entered their final fray with Johnson City hoping for a fourth win. Although the team threw everything they had into the game, they were unable to stop the Johnson City backfield, who seemed to score at will. ,Eighth Row: B. Smith, E, Ostrander. First Row: D.

Most of last year's winning combinations were lost to the school by graduation last year. Beans Bolin, Louis Sorrentino, Joe Gumbinger, Skip McCarthy, l-larolcl Larkin and Jimmy Barden have all graduated, leaving many vacancies on the track squad. Rick Togna, ','Ace Lawrence, Joe Sorrentino and Dan Meyerson are back for an- other season. These veterans will be supported by many of last year's semi-experienced members, such as John Feldsine and the Bub brothers. This year's squad has tour and possibly tive meets scheduled among which are meets with Roosevelt, Kingston, Hudson and Albany, The boys are working hard for Coach Healy. Their willingness to work, coupled with their spirit should go lar in aiding them to overcome their handicap of in- experience. Prospects for the squad look hopeful, it the mem- bers cooperate as well for the entire season as they have in the first few weeks of practice. We wish the squad success, and we know they will maintain the school's tine record in the field of sports, Track- Breathless First Row: G. MacClelland, W. Paroli, S. Thompson, Capt. J. Havens, R.

While it is true that few of last year's players were available, nevertheless, it is remarkable how well a compartively new team has rapidly taken shape. Joe Havens and r Bob Becker have proven their merit in as fine a battery as has been seen since Don Hempe and Tom Whalen made up the ideal battery. The glory of winning games, however, does not rest solidly upon a good battery. lt is the coordination and cooperation of all the players, their loyalty to their school, their coach and to each other. Because of such a combination of qualities P. H. S, has defeated its first three opponents in three games, the scores being: P. H. S. l6 Millbrook l PHS. ll Highland Falls O P. H. S. 3l Roosevelt 9 Besides the graceful battery of Joe Havens and Bob Becker, the squad's array of power and punch is backed up by Glen Mc- Clellan at first base, Dick Rathburn at secondbase, Walt Gloede at third base and Eddie Williams at shortstop. ln the outfield we find Ralph Porazzo, Bill Paroli, and Sookie Thompson, playing left, center, and right field respectively. Praise is due, also, to the team's genial manager and morale builder, John Darrow. lt is well to mention that P. H. S. can boast of one of the finest High School baseball records in the country. ln the past 25 years, we have wone 234 games, and lost only 62. lncluded on the sched- ule was the West Point Plebes, whom we defeated twice, in l932 and l933, Baseball-lncognito!

Houston 4 QAM' iqffzfeiic rquacialian N LOOKING over our records for i945-46 we find the freshmen haven't really made themselves famous, but we haven't fared badly either. Take, for instance, the soccer tournament. Of course, the upper classmen won most of the games, but when Miss Van de Water and Mrs. Balme picked girls for two outstanding teams to play Vassar Freshmen and Arlington High School the freshmen were well represented. Ruth Flor- ence, as goalie, was certainly right there to stop the balls. We don't brag about our basketball history, but Evelyn Lute, Pat Owens and Pat Bernhardt captained three enthusiastic but losing teams. , As for our bowling record we modestly mention that we were the winners. Yes, we defeated the Juniors and Seniors besides having the single highest scorer, Marion Beni, a novice in the sport, who twice rolled up a score of l6O. We can't make any predic- tions about the volley ball tournament to be completed soon but Pat Bernhardt, Myra Bernsweig and Martha Sims, the captains, aren't letting their teams lag behind any. Oh yes, there is softball, too. lt's too early to write about that, but from what we hear about Joan Conley's batting ability we think the Board of Education better get us a larger field or cover the A. G P. windows. On May ll, we have planned an all day Hike to Lake Mohonk and invited the upperclassmen to help us crawl through fat man's misery while we'll pull them through the lemon squeeze.

Qfifafnzhzazan ' -M i HE Girls' Athletic Association has had a well varied program of sports this year, Their aim throughout the year has been to interest large numbers of girls in health and sportsmanship through physically participating in sports. During the fall season, thirty-five girls played on the soccer teams. They met the Vassar College Freshmen girls and the Arlington High School girls in invitation games. During the winter season approximately seventy-tive girls participated in basket- ball and bowling. Catherine Relyea's team, consisting of girls from the Sophomore, Junior and Senior classes, won the interclass basketball tournament. The Freshmen bowling team caused quite an upset by eliminating the Juniors and Sophomores and de- feating the Senior team in the finals. Badminton, ping pong, and volley ball interested a large group in the interim period between winter and spring, Base- ball, bicycling, and hiking wound up the spring season by bring- ing out girls who heretofore had not taken any part in sports alter school hours. The Monday luncheon meetings proved to be so very suc- cessful that it is planned to continue them during i946-47. Officers of the club are Josephine Bocchino-President, Dolores Leo4Vice-President, Catherine Relyea-Secretary, June Den- nen-Treasurer. Girls' Athletic Association-- Look at the Birdie!
