An Mir Bn-adm, We-imc: mi 'dads - Chugging up the road, books tucked under one fender, freshly picked flowers for teacher clutched in radiator top, rehearsing his route to New Baltimore, Coey- mans, Ravena, Aquctuck, Coeymans Hollow and Alcove, R-C screeched to a dead stop in front of the New Baltimore School where Mrs. Shear and Mrs. Kniffen had prepared for another busy day with thirty-seven pupils. The usual carefree excitement prevailed over the group as they descended from R-C. Both the primary ahd intermediate grades had attained thc 10092 goal in the junior Red Cross drive. The enthusiasm of making and filling Easter baskets had given way to talk abiout what fun lunch periods were now that table manners were a part of each bitd and swallow. Conversation among the members of the upper grades had a differdnt twist . . . the 4-H boys' project of identifying local trees, thc sides of the bookhouse completely shingled with book jackets of the books read, the mural depicting the Westward Movement, the individually- made objects representing various modes of transportation, and thc much planned-for school picnic. Heading north along the Hudson, a sharp left turn, a painful upgrade, and R-C caught his breath while more youngsters tumbled out to enter Coeyrnans High School. A glance in Miss Reynold's first and second grade room fell on the circus lrieze a colorful manafferie of minted animals and clay animals, some ol' them 1 m l , , caged. Around a large table were six or seven businessmen of tomorrow already 4? ii' -- XV f g -- f X lf i f- -sf all KI' A2 X Il l! ' A-X A' 5 ' -S, 1 w i f f I X X X I K 4,,f' -,kr 'U-at S - f f Y ffe ff!

Farther down the hall the third and fourth graders turned into Mrs. U21l'l12ll'l,S room. Some girls ehattered excitedly about their parts in the annual gym demon- strationg others discussed the trip to the Education Building. The music lovers thrilled to melodious strains of Music, Music, Music, and then there was that day spent making friends with the animal kingdom at the Catskill Game Farm. Book learnin' in Miss Zolnefs fourth and fifth grade was set aside briefly on each of these happy occasions: Hallowelen with its spectacle of costumes. humorous and grotesqueg Valentine's Day when bold Romeos declared their I love you's,, to blushing julietsg the Spring Musical program in which the new-corner, Lee Cversbung, tripped the light-fantastic around the May Pole. The last door at the right opened into Mrs. Lyons, sixth grade. There were no paid votes nor empty promises in the vigorous campaigning at the beginning of the year which put Sharon Sagendorf into office as president, Frederieka l lora11t as vice-president, Patty Sorell as secretary, and Barbara McClintock as treasurer. Sharon was runner-up in this year's Spelling Bee sponsored by the liniekerboeker News. Didn't that huge New York State relief map at the Education Building provide a unique and interesting site for one of their social studies classes? .Iaunting merrily along Main Street, R-C turned in the Ravena High School yard ready to dispell a few more of the crowd. Kindergartners hastened to the window to say Good morning to their bird friends. These feathered friends clamored impatiently to be fed at the feeding station maintained by the youngsters. an 1 s X - at 4'f X' lah q --4--Y . ..

Oh, those lessons in candy, butter, and oatmeal makirgl Miss Winnie's first grade had just learned to square dance. The doll house, complete with furnishings and fifiger-painted wall paper, took the place of -the :inf Indian articles. light bulb into a red hat and jacket. These same fingers carefully Indian Tepee and the collection At Christmas time busy little fingers transformed the ordinary smiling Santa, complete with cut paper bonnets that were artistically adorned with Howers, ribbons, feathers and veilingg and they drew admiring glances from the mothers who attended the stylish fashion show at Easter. jack Frost stole into the seconfl grade one weekend and left the morning glories lifeless, much to the dismay of tliese second graders who had tendered the seeds to a blooming three inches. But they had great success in their next projects: clay ashtrays, knitting boxes and wool dolls. A trip with Miss Klevesahl to the post office inspired them to make one 'of their own from orange crates. The barbers, the bakers, the candlestick makers'1'-those were their fathers they found when they began inquiring from Dad where his money came from. Perhaps after comparing the advantages and disadvantages:of the various lines of work, little Johnnie will have picked his life's work. Q l A model paper Indian reserv ion stood in the corner of Miss Sanborne's third grade room. For several weeks t ey had been learning about the Indians, their customs and religion. The posterslon good foods not only made the room colorful but also made little 'eight-year ollzlers aware of what made for rosy cheeks and With the fourth grade year officially opened by a tea for the mothers, Mrs. Harder went on to direct their st y of balanced diets. The upshot of this project was a luncheon, overflowing with the entire vitamin family, prepared and served by the class. It wasnt long before shoes in this room had an extra special shine, nails gleamed white, teeth sparkled, all the result of lessons in good grooming. Hansel and Gretel.

Even with their busy day, there was still time from thei3-R's to pursue their own 'hobbies during the Hobby Lobbyrpefiod. ' ' I The seniors of Ravenais gradje school, accompanied by Miss Triumpho, took a make-believe trip West, and thelmural on the Westward Movement was a diary of that trip. Then again at an 'ssembly program there came to life a host of famous Americans who were port layed by the fifth graders through poetry. l I I . o . l H' sw 3:4338 ,,...,, ',A, m gm . ,Ma- M., k K' A ,zz gm ,f,'.J2mg G s3 k 'R 53'-Q W W f',,1+ s -A ,,.:SA 'V' A ,. - N :Flex 3 MH 'f I ,N gf' in LW W .

Pugc scrcnlccn R- Q It was second period in thelmorning, time for R-C to take art students and more homernakers to Coeyrnans Iigh School. This was the lirst year for an art department, and R-C kept himself busy taking Miss Beerman to all the schools in the district. While R-C caught his breath for the jaunt back, waiting students glanced at the activities bulletin board. The BACHELORS CLUB, which met every Thursday, was composed of free- lancing ninth grade males who preferred the masculine touch in cooking. Here they learned to follow recipes ancl measure ingredients under the guidance of Miss Ricketson. However, the reward! of their labors came when they dug into the mouth-watering food. These bachelors went further and learned the art of har- monizing colors and neatness of dress which earned them the nod of approval from i the fairer sex. - In this push-button era, when bread baking, butter making, and hand launder- ing are passe, girls had time to dlelve in art crafts. In Mr. Roneyis CRAFTS CLUB the ninth grade girls discovered Linsuspected abilities as they explored the fields of ceramics, woodworking, plastic, art metal work and leathercraft. Their collection of wall clocks, Hgurines, corner shelves, candy dishes, jewelry, ash trays, pocketbooks and belts had the boys admitting, :among themselves, that women were here to stay. I STUDENT COUNCIL, the governing body of the school, had charge of student traffic regulations, selection of student guides and all school assemblies.

Q work terminated with the gigantic task ol' planning the Field and Class Day celebra- tion. Schools from surrounding areas were invited as guests for the day. The officers were: President, Robert Riccardo, secretary, Arlene Raynorg treasurer, Florence McClintock, and sponsor, Mrs. Lawson. ' No Einsteins nor Burbanks yet, bpt a chance to unfold the wonders of botany, physics, chemistry or earth sciences at the SCIENCE CLUB meetings chair'd by Richard Lewis and recorded by Robert Guyot. The cultivation of underwater chemical gardens and the construction of small electric motors running on a twelve volt circuit sent many a member browsing through books, plying Mr. Brayden with questions and abandoning one idea for a better one. The club spent a day at the Science Congress in Albany where they exhibited their own individual projects. In October, Mrs. Dobson announced, 'LJUNIOR CHORUS tryouts activity period this weekf, The anxiety and hope of the applicants during this trial changed to relief and happiness for those who made the grade. Practice and more practice was the order of the day for each Monday's vocalizing which prepared them for the Christmas Pageant. Then, more of the same hard work effected the poise, expression and quality of tone evidenced at the Easter Assembly program and the Spring Festival.

Two hundred Hfty students settlecl down to the serious business of the day. During the next five minutes teachers eou ted noses, students purchased their weekly lunch tickets for Sl, and the previous ay's absentees came back with admittance slips. The bell rang again. This time eight doors burst open, and a swarm of humanity surged into the halls, The studeht's time wasn't concentrated merely on subject matter, for many assumed responsibilities for a smoother running plant. There were student guides throughout the day who welcomed guests to the school, checked student passes and acted as messengers. Some seniors spent a period of their time with the pint-size folks on the Hrst floor, supervising reading groups, directing play periods, or assisting with individual projects. Once every two weeks the faculty nominated two outstanding students in each class. From this list of six names, the student body chose its STUDENT CHOICE. The 'Y-ang.-, Y i -T W ll ' A IQ' 1 gf' , z , l .. - ni uk - 1 0 2 S one so honored reeeived a half day nfl from school, was il guest at an game, and had his name plaeed on a plaque. i Others devoted one free period helping lWrs. Fink prepare hot lunch lor that noon. A hell at 12:20 was the signal for the starting of movies or competitive sports among the upper elassrnen. And speaking of sports, the entire student body joined in honoring its victorious athletes with a gala banquet, Complete with dinner music' and speakers. The only yearly night game was football which f'lll1lilXl'Cl the II2lllUXXt',l'll spirit. Hallowe'en alvternoon was alive with parties and movies for the grades. The upper grades joined hands to snake danee down the main street to Clouse's Field where, around a huge bonfire, each player pledged his best for the coming game and the eheerleaders generated spirited cheering. Lights blazed over Mosher Park that next night and the mud-spattered team came through with a seore of 40-0 against Cox- saekie. -E .CC T' .F - 4- .L .x .x- fp , ELK xt-...'2.

No public performances at first, but practice, practice and more practice for that subtlety of tones which soon launched the group at school functions. Later came Fred Waring- styled performances at the Eastern Star and the New Baltimore Dutch Reformed Church. Ah-ah-ah-ah-ah-ah-ah, and Mrs. Dobson had another member for her SENIOR Clloiws. The rehearsals that followed found the girls sliding smoothly up and down the scales, each syllable distinct, each 'Atv crossed. For variation the girls worked on popular numbers, too, which would star such soloists as Alice Kirby, .loan Ann Hughes, Keitha Carhart and Marilyn Marshall. Janet Kleinhans was elected student council representative. Everyone was a letter man in Mr. MacNaughtonls DANCE BAND. With four suxophoncs, two trumpets, a trombone, piano and drums the group met informally Tuesday evenings to master various rhythms and acquire softness of tone. Several taps of the baton, the name of the piece, and Mr. MacNaughton had the BAND in full swing. The music folders bulged with varietyg overtures, narrative pieces, jazz, marches and novelty numbers. This year the band filled out with new kettle drums, bass clarinets, an oboe and trumpets while the proceeds from the Ithaca Concert and night football game made new uniforms of 1951 a reality. Eight new members were admitted in time to participate at the First Supervisory District Meeting in Delmar. For its officers Bob Mudge won presidcncyg Ismay Rupert, secretary-treasurership5 Anthony Parctta, student council representativeg and -Iames Winters, librarianship. The high-stepping, strutting five. organized as TWIRLERS last year, had their new uniforms in time for the night football game. Each new twirlw-the straight hand-to-hand, the figure eight, the butterliy---required hours of infinite patience. BATON TWIRLERS Left to Right-R. Deleskiewicz, A. liver- leth, B. Irving, E.

Page thirty-one I t I I t I The harriers of Ravena-Coeymans, coached by Mr. Potter ended its season by running in the sectionals at Groudt Memorial Run at Nott Terrace High in Schenectady. Ravena ran twelfth in a field of eighteen. The first meet was at Cobleskill where they ran against a field of ten and placed ninth. Then they edged Albany High twenty-nine to twenty-six at Washington Park. Boice and Strassner ran a deadlock for the first place in a quadrangular meet at Lincoln Park where we were beate by a strong Nott Terrace aggregation. Repeating his top performance from last year Don oice led R. C. H. S. throughout the season with Heinz Strassner running a close second. Ot r members of the team included: D. Perry, R. Tryon, F. Micozzi, S. Dean, J. Winters, T. S arles, B. Mudge, R. Backlund, R. Bourguignon, J. Feil, D. Hartmann, J. Jones, J. Tryon. I Ravena-Coeymans just completed, its third consecutive unbeaten football season which opened with a win, 12-0, over Chatham. Other impressive wins were over Roe-Jan, Averill Park, St. Johns, with R-C scoring 200 points to the opponent's 40. The season was climaxed with the traditional night football game at Mosher field against the arch rivals, Coxsackie- Athens, unbeaten until that game. After a hard-fought contest, R-C emerged victorious, 40-0. This game produced a casualty when one of the lights fell, striking a Coxsackie spectator on the head, who fortunately was not seriously hurt. Hey Shirl, who plays this noon? Mrs. Bogardus, we only have five kids. After much ranting and raving, the girls managed to assemble a team and played the game which decided the championship. A sophomore team, the Bluejays' led by Edibelle Van Wormer, copped the title. The Eagles led by Ismay Rupert ran a close second. Their activities didn't stop at this point for the after school t am busily prepared for games against Coxsackie and Catskill. They proved champions in til three games they played, two of which were held here. Ouch!l' Hey, take it easy. And what might this rumpus be for? You guessed it, G. A. C. initiation. With squeals of excitement, the new members cheerfully took the initiation in their stride and looked forward to the day when they would be permanent members. Then the work really began. Now, wholll take soda from ten to eleven. Come on, kids. This is your dance. With the experienced s pervision of Mrs. Muller and able leadership of Jeane Shafer, the girls sponsored the first drnce of the year, a round and square dance. Do you want to buy a booster button? How about a hat or a banner? And then, .May 13 and William's Lake. The girls, with their faces beaming, waved good-bye and returned tired and happy after their enjoyable trip. I This year, the Bovs' BowLxNG LUB, under the direction of Mr. Potter, had a more active season than in any previous ye r. Bob Farinelli and Morgan Searles were the highest average bowlers, each spilling the pi s for 160 averages. Don Griilin was third high with an average bouncing around 150 all he time. Two matches were each held with Altamont, The Varsity, made up of Searles, F inelli, Don Griiiin, Booker Dargan, and Guy Colburn romped over Altamont in two out o three games, losing one by two pins. Griffin scored high single for the day with a 234, ile Searles was second with a 213. Farinelli, however, hit consistently and walked off with triple honors with a 545. Again Searles was second with a 518. The Jayvees took all three with Craven setting the pace with a 194 and 514. In the second match, the Altamont! keglers took all three from the R-C Varsity. The jayvees fared better, winning one 0 t of three. The Club also entered five teams in the Sectional Play at the Pladium alley in Albany. Next year the boys are looking forward to the organization of a C. H. V. L. Bowling League. I Let's do that one over again, ids. Now watch your linef' Capably led by Jeanette Williams and supervised by Mrs. Bo ardus, the Varsity six once again did a great job of rooting the fellows to victory. Fiftee girls showed up and all fifteen stood in the corridor practicing the Fight Team Fight y l while awaiting their turn.

Page thirty-liw Activities - Continued Cheerlearlers, Dorothy Schatz, Dorothy Paretta and Ann Everleth, were chosen in September to complete the squad which consisted of M, Marshall, G. Altimari, and H. Robertson. They were judged on five points: voice, pep, appearance, poise, and jump. After this the girls rolled up their sleeves and attacked their job with renewed vigor. I've got a new ehecrf' Lct's make it a circle yell. No, weive got enough of them. With no special leader, the girls each helped contribute to the success of the squad. Whcre's the light ball? We got it first! This is the familiar argument that echoed through the Ravena Bowling Alley on Tuesday nights when the girls stormed through the door, anxious to prove their skill. Capably led by Gert Dollery, the Girls' Activities Council proved victorious over the other three teams captained by Carlene Mooney, ,lean Carhart, and Marie Bourguignon. To put an end to a successful season, the captains of the four teams played against the Coxsackie girls. The AIRPLANFL CLUB had been organized by Mr. Kullman, a former pilot in the navy, and the oinficers elected for the year were: Booker Dargan, president, Bob Farinelli, vice- president, james Feil, secretary-treasurer and student council representative. Each member assembled a model of his own, some even constructed model cars powered by jet carbon tools. Something new was added to the STAFF ANU S1111-11.13, the Poets Notes, a column for original student poetry. In order to teach the staff how to set a paper up ready for printing, Miss Black toured with them through the Knickerbocker News Plant. The Newspaper Staff consists of: editor, Morgan Searles, assistant editor, Cecelia Heere, sports editors, Richard Backlund and jenny Micozzi, feature editor, Dorothy Schatz, exchange editors, Madeleine Paretta and Carmella Pomcllitto, business manager, Stanley Dean. After the names of the new applicants had been buffeted around among the existing members of the LIBRARY fll,Ull, seven were chosen. Mrs. Florant and the club welcomed the new members with a tea. Soon the girls busied themselves as assistant librarians, checking books, dusting shelves, shelving, card cataloguing and indexing. Proceeds from the bake sale enabled the group not only to visit the State Library but to attend a performance at the Playhouse. The officers: Kathryn Pitcher, president, vice-president, Pauline Sutton, secretary, Marie Pagliaro, treasurer, Gloria Powell, and student council representative, Kay Keel. Whereas, character, scholarship, leadership and service are cardinal qualities worthy of encouragement in all schools .... The NATIONAI. HONOR SOCIETY was chartered in 1948, with Mr. Wallace as advisor. Four new members were welcomed on probation in the annual induction service which brought the membership to a total of fifteen. Seniors rcceivcd sweaters, emblems, and certificates. Oops. What's this? A man walking on his head P And nine members donated advice on the spot. The PROJECTIONIST CLUB was formed under the sponsorship of Mr. Wallace to train students to operate the movie projector during their free periods. The club was organized with Stanley Schoonover, president, Booker Dargan, vice-president, James Feil, secretary- treasurer. The posted list of open staff positions, the approved application blanks, and a Yi-:Aknooii STAFF met to decide on a theme. Ideas Hourished and died. Finally Bill Collins settled the issue. Then came picture taking, last minute written assignments, informal Hash bulb shots, the time consuming search for the right words and Hows this name spelled?

Page thirty seven March Miss Gliottone, Richard Guice and George Hathaway took off for the C. S. P. A. conference in New York. The yearbook materialized through the efforts of Richard Guice, Rae Pellino, William Collins, Asa Miller, George Hathaway, Bob Farinelli, Bob Lambert, Morgan Searles, Jenny Micozzi, James Sutton, Pauline Sutton, Fran Almindo, Mildred Anatriello and Richard Backlund. With Jeanette Williams' Will the meeting please come to order, and reports from Jenny Micozzi, secretary, and Bob Traver, treasurer, the STUDENT COUNCIL settled down to the serious business of planning the night football game. Morgan Searles took full charge of providing bus transportation to the away games. The group unanimously approved the adoption of a standard school ring, and the year's activity ended with vigorous campaigning for Student Council president who was tapped at the Moving-Up Day ceremony. Bang! Bang! Another envelope was shot up. Mr. Brown organized the SPORTSMANlS C1.Un early in the fall. The Tuesday noon meetings that followed stimulated discussions on good sportsmanship, conservation laws, safety precautions, gun cleaning, or the different chokes. With this as a background the club participated in the turkey shoots at Coxsackie and Anderson's Garage. Came spring and day dreams turned to twenty-inch trout. Several Saturdays before the fishing weekend in the Catskills, the members met to learn about plug and fly casting. Lights, Curtain, actionl' and Mrs. Salvcson and Mrs. Dobson launched the DRAMATICS CLUB in the radio play, junior Miss.
