Royalton Hartland Central School - Scope Yearbook (Middleport, NY)

Text from Pages 1 - 104 of the 1957 volume:

1 rn E in GASPORT BUILDING This year the residents of the Royalton- Hartland school district voted to erect a nineteen classroom building in Middleport and a twenty-five classroom building in Gasport for children in grades kindergarten through six. This is going to be very beneficial for the high school students, too, by relieving the crowded facilities and providing adequate room for the high school program. Every student in the Royalton-Hartland Central School wishes to take this opportunity to express his gratitude and appreciation to the voters of thc district who made this possible. We students award you voters an Olympic gold medal for your fine support.

With these words the athletic festival began its great show of consistency and skill, providing a righteous challenge without discrimi- nation against any country or person. In participating in the Games, Olympians discover within themselves a new secret strength, the ability of cooperation and honest com' petition with other nations, despite national and political differences. The students at RHCS are also learning to live together in harmony without the prejudices that are overtaking our world today. It is thc principle of common values, not differences, that leads an individual to flourishing success. The students are striving to develop their personalities for they know that a man wins only by improving himself. There is a similarity also between the Olympics and RIICS in that they both inspire their charges to lead a singularly well-disciplined life and answer every setback with harder training. The instigation of our choice of the Olympics as the theme of our I957 SCOPE is the under- lying purpose of both the Games and RHCS, to strengthen the bondage of citizen to citizen and nation to nation.

We can never fully express our appreciation for your loyal and patient service to us. The contributions you have given us in physical education and athletic training alone merit our indebtedness and gratitude. You have taught us that no citizen has any right to be an amateur in the matter of physical training. It is his duty as a citizen to keep himself in good condition, ready to serve his country. We honor you for the time and effort you have unselfishly spent in building up our s orts teams. Not only have you hel ed us increase our athletic skills, but through you we have learned, to be good sportsmen. Athletic ability is not enough. You have taught us that mental discipline and self-control are what make superior individuals. ln order to flourish, life calls for a combination of skills: strength, patience, endurance and, most of all, a strong personality. We wish to extend our thanks for this important lesson that you have so graciously given us. We are honored to dedicate SCOPE to you, our coaches.

I X F. KARL FROHLICI-I, District Superintendent BOARD OF EDUCATION The responsibility for the success of the Olympics depends upon the Olympic Or' ganizing Committee which directs the planning and preparation for the Olympic Games. Similarly, the smooth operation of our school rests on the Board of Education which sets our policy, prescrihes the courses ol' study for students and appoints per- sonnel. The Board of Education meets every month on the first Monday and often holds special meetings. Memhers are elected for a term of three years hy the voters to carry out thc wishes ol the people of the dis- trict. Many hours are spent hy these people studying and working on the prohlems of students and parents relating to the school and community. This year the Board expended much time and eflort in preparing a huilding program and presenting it to many com- munity organizations. They were rc- warded hy approval of the proposal hy the voters. In deepest appreciation, we, the students oF RIICS, salute you For the fine work you have done for us.

Ball ELEMENTARY GRADES l lere, here, sign my program, too, please, said the children as they ran alter the Olympic contestants seeking autographs. VVitli just as much enthusiasm, the elementary students work for the day they will enter high school. These contestants in sports have practiced for many years to perfect their athletic ability. To gain success in any skill, much practice is necessary. ln the kindergartens many skills such as playing in rhythm hand, singing. speaking and skipping are practiced. ln the first grade the black marks on the page come alive with meaning and children hegin to read and write. The mystery o spelling is explored in the second grade. VVords are analyzed and sounds of letters E are learned. ln the third grade the addition and subtraction facts must be mastered. The next hurdle to he jumped is the mastery of the multiplication and division facts in the fourth grade. The techniques of reading not only the lines hut between and beyond the lines are practiced in the fifth and sixth grades. These require the free and easy use of various kinds ol reference materials. It is here that the skills learned in lower grades are refined and pupils learn to work independently and with self-direction. Thus the elementary school gives each student a hackground of skills essential to his suc- cess in high school and in life. Barbara Shorten SIXTH GRADE Miss Dunham koski, C. Baehr derpool, E.

RHCS French Club members are proud of the fact that the revival of the Olympic Games in 1896 was largely due to the efforts of the French educator, Baron Pierre dc Couhertin, who claimed that better inter- national understanding and goodwill could be accomplished by the resumption of the Olympics on a World-wide basis. French Club members have the opportunity to study the language, life, customs, and cul- ture of France. ln their social hours, they sing French songs, tell fortunes, listen to French records, and play games like Bingo and Scrabble. They also read a French magazine, Match, which is similar to :Xmerican pictorial magazines.

Visits to a tele- vision plant and a power plant helped members become better acquainted with different phases of electronics and to realize the ways in which power is produced. At monthly meetings, they practiced the Morse code and held classes in electronics. This is the first year that such classes in elec- tronics have been held in RHCS.

The purpose of the Olympics is to promote better international relations and mutual understanding. This corresponds to the aim of Varsity Club - to encourage a high standard of integrity and sportsman- ship and to nurture a spirit of cooperation and understanding in all phases of athletics. Members acted as ushers at basketball games, thereby spreading good sportsman- ship among the student body. They held dances after each basketball game and elected a king and queen of sports.

The aim of the FFA is to develop agricultural leadership, cooperation, citizenship and to encourage members in the development of individual farming programs. Members. under the guidance of Miz LeRoy Banf nistcr, gain experience in public discussion and parliamentary procedure. They spon- sored the Harvest Show, a Parent and Son Banquet and a basketball team. The Chapter holds regular monthly meetings and a social night for members.

This interesting fact and many more his- torical topics have been discussed by the RHCS Historical Club. Besides attend- ing regular club meetings, the members enjoyed their trip to the Lockport Museum where they observed relics of the early days ' of Niagara County. The Spring Conven- tion is always a high-light of the year. Mary Holahan Club Members READING CLUB When the Olympic contestants have leisure time, they turn to their favorite authors to provide them with entertain- ment and relaxation, for they have learned that there are many joys and benefits to be derived from reading. ln much the same way, the members of the RHCS Reading Club are finding reading a val- uable use of spare time. They are happy to have a social organization which offers them an opportunity to become better readers. Mary Holahan Reading a story STAMP CLUB Oh, look at the stamp on this letter l just received postmarked Nlelbourne, Australial Do you have a stamp commem- orating the Olympic Games yet? Mem- bers of the Stamp Club have had many interesting discussions similar to this dur- ing the year. Their meetings have been enlivened by the exchange of stamps and a study of their value.

The instrumental music consists of the junior Band and Senior Band, under the direction of hlr. Robert Cavers. The Senior Band meets three times a week to prepare themselves for concerts, sectionals, and festivals. In the fall they particie pated in sectionals at Medina and Lockport. A marching band has added much school spirit at football games. Individual lessons for band members have con- tributed greatly to the quality of their performance as a group. Future plans include the organization of a student dance band to play at school dances. The vocal organizations of RHCS. directed by Mrs. Miriam Flatt, are Junior Chorus, Ninth Crude Chorus and Mixed Chorus. This year representatives from Mixed Chorus attended the sectionals held at Medina. The combined choruses presented a Christmas concert featuring Christmas Roundelayf' the Hallelujah Chorus from Handels Messiah, and the Fred Wariiig arrangement of 'lThe Night Before Christmas. ln February the annual operetta was staged. ln the spring chorus members presented another concert, entered the NYSSMA competition at Lockport and participated in the County Chorus at Starpoint. The final function of a busy year was a trip to a concert in Rochester. The bands and the choral groups are an indispensable part of school life at RHCS.

Like the teams in the Olympics the Roy-Hart Rams earned a high-scoring record this season. Because of their unwavering aggressiveness and good sportsmanship they were able to outdo Barker in the race for third place in the Niagara-Orleans League. Although they lost the Class B - Section V play-off game with North Collins, the quintet never once failed to give their op' ponents a hard fight.

Coach Pacini was proud of his football team as every member gave an excellent account of himself throughout the season. Much of the success the players had lay in their fine spirit, co- operation, determination, and the will to win. The team was spurred on by the marching band and student support. This year was the grand finale for Leibring, VVilson, ,lim VValker, Wl1ittemo1'e, and Lercber. Teamwork displayed by the Rams sets an example for future squads to follow.

The Roy-Hart team established groundwork last year that should spark the teams of the next few years. Our team lost the right to play in the Sectional Play-offs, for the first time in five years.

Coach Bill Annable smiled as he helped build his RHCS track team members for a future Olympiad. They worked on disc-throwing, high jumps and speed in running. The team won every mile event, and participated in the Niagara-Orleans meet. RHCS is striving to get track established on a more solid basis so that we can soon have a track of our own and can give this sport more emphasis. Virginia Seward CROSS COUNTRY Here comes the last relay runner bringing the Olympic torch into the stadium, just as the RHCS Cross Country team runs across the fields to a victory for Roy-Hart. The Cross Country team, under the direction of lVlr. David March, won four meets and lost two. In their two defeats, they were the second to finish out of the four teams in the quadrangular.
