SA UGERTJES HIGH SCHOOL The sfudenfs of SAUGERTIES HIGH SCHQUL Present THE 1954 SAWYER SAUGERTIES HIGH SCHQOL Saugerzljes, New York 'I '2.,..: ,N , . Page 2 Saugerztjes nestled at zihe foof of the Cafskjlls This is a view oi Saugerties nestled at the toot of the Catskills. The mountains in the background provide a perfect setting tor our village, which can tittingly be called the Gateway to the Catskills. Faintly visible in this picture are the Palenville Notch, and the depressions marking two lakes. The bridge spanning the Esopus can be easily recognized as a landmark by Saugertiesians, and the tall smoke- stack of our chiei industrial mill is plainly in view. Cne can see also a glimpse oi the Esopus Creek, which divides our iriendly village into two banks much as the Seine cleaves Paris. Residents of mountainous areas can never apf preciate iully the beauty of a backdrop oi mountains until they visit sections oi the country where tho land stretches out flat and barren tor miles. Ai- though we may take our mountains tor granted, they will remain to aive color and beauty to the land- scape. terned after one as it was in the time of Rip Van The theme of our .7954 Sawyer js mountains Each year our custom is to folfow a theme in our yearbook. The theme chosen for the 1954 SAW- YER is mountains. We feel that it is fitting since Saugerties lies at the foot of the mountains and serves as a gateway to the pictureque Catskills. This mountain range, lying west of the Hudson River and mainly in Ulster and Greene Counties, is noted for its impressive scenery. The highest peaks in the Catskills are Slide Mountain C4,204 feetj and Hunter Mountain C4,025 feetD. Not only are the Catskills rich in beauty but they are the home of many folk tales and legends which capture the interest of all who hear them. Perhaps the favorite is Washington lrving's story of Rip Van Winkle who encountered the little men of Hendrick Hudson's crew while hunting in the mountains. After drinking their brew, he fell asleep for twenty years and awoke to a new government formed after the revolution he had slept through. A vacationland development which will be known as Rip's Retreat is now in the planning stages. It will be located on the site of the Catskill Moun- tain House property at Haines Falls, and is expected to stimulate great interest on the part of tourists. This development is to be an authentic village pat- Winkle.

His love for the mountains is shown in a quotation from The Pioneers which says: There's a place in them hills that I used to climb to . . . that would well repay any man for a barked shin or a torn moccasin . . . lt is a place to make a man solemnize. Some of the roads which enter the mountains include the Plattekill and Kacrterskill Clove roads. To enter Plattekill Clove, the visitor turns off Route 212 about three miles west of Saugerties. Here we find a climb of nearly l4U0 feet in a distance of lk miles. Kaaterskill Clove is entered at Palenville. Each year the scenic beauty of the Catskills at- tracts many visitors, and brings tourist trade to Saugerties. Hunting and fishing, and the peaceful rustic air of the mountains tempt travelers from great distances. The art work in the SAWYER is based on our theme. All drawings are done by the students. Now, come and pay a pictorial visit to Sauger- ties High School, and see the students at work and play with the stately Catskills providing a back- ground for your tour. Something wise is in a mountain Something powerful and strong: Centuries have passed before it- lt is part of history's song. Maybe it's the way the trees stand Straight and tall against the sky Or because the mighty river Reverently passes by. Something's peaceful in a mountain Yet that's not so very odd. Years and years have found it standing Away up there - right close to God. M. A. M. Page 3 The Esopus Creelf anal Calslcjll Mountains as seen from Barclay Heights 5...n . .J Al This view, familiar to all Saugerties people, was taken within a few feet of a residential section of the village and yet scarcely a single residence is clearly in view. The mountain and the Esopus Creek have brushed aside everything else to give due honor to the beauties of nature which we are privileged to enjoy. Our scenery, and our water facilities, and the opportunity of being close to na- ture are Goclfgiven gifts. ln the picture is one of the bays of the artificial lake that lies west of the bridge over the Esopus. ln the summer months, many boats skim its crystal surface, and patrons of the Saugerties Bathing Beach along its shore enjoy swimming in the cool water. Page 5 QP The Horseshoe Bend in the Here we are looking into the West Saugerties Notch, one oi the two more pronounced cletts in the Catskill range. The road leading to the police camp at the mountain is an old dirt road not pass- able a good part of the year. This section, one of the rnost rugged areas in the Catskills today, is West Saugerfjes Notch rough and precipitous with rocky slopes and ravines which tend to discourage the traveler, and we underf stand Why this is a Very sparsely populated area in the Catskills. Civilization has lett unharrned the natural beauty.

This is the Saugerties-Catskill portion of the New York State Thruway. Route 32 crosses the Thruway and takes the traveler to the art colony ot Woodstock, lying ten miles to the West of Saugerties. Many Wood- stockers come to Saugerties to trade, and many Saugertiesians travel to Woodstock to eat their de- licious tood, to see the art exhibits, and to listen to their music. Woodstock lies behind that portion ot the mountain which is at the left ot this picture, still another community enriched by the beauty and historic legends ot the mountains. The mountains attract admiration ln this picture Cynthia Abbott and Mary Eck- hoti are seated on a rock by a roadside in the mountains to the West ot Saugerties. This View is indeed picturesque, and probably nowhere in east- ern United States is the scenery more unspoiled and beautiful than it is as We see it here. This part oi from fwo of our girls the Catskills is so precipitous that only a dirt road winds through the primeval forest. lf we let our imaginations run tree, we can almost hear the shouts of Hendrick Hudson's merry crew and the rumble ot their bowling balls as we sit and look at their haunts in these rugged areas. 4-, .

The toarny white billows ot spray shooting up into the sunlight make a picture no tourist will soon for- get. This process, although very beautiful, is done from a practical standpoint. The Water is partially purified by the clear air and sunshine. Many visitors bring picnic lunches and come to spend an alternoon at the grounds surrounding the aerator. The spicy-smelling pine trees which line the area give an added touch to this combination ot natural and man-made beauty. ffking Harough fhe Woods near Sczugerfjes Cyn cmd Phil Resting Two Gfzllunt Lads Dmq fmzei through Q Fence. Swimming Betsy Finds the Water a Bt! Cool, The young people in the picture above, Betsy Hauessler and Chester Short, are enjoying a swim in one ot the streams which run through the Saugere ties area. Each year when the weather is warm, the younger generation ot Saugerties is privileged in being able to swim in these streams and creeks. As these boys and girls grow up, they Come to know every nook and Cranny ot their old swimming holes, much as a tisherman knows where the trout will bite best. The very special Coves and rapids ot the streams may prove to be a tisherman's joy when the water is chill, but when the summer sun and soft rains warm the water, the swimmers Come into their glory. The stream pictured here is one which flows near Palenville and brings Cold water down from the mountains. Page t3 n .Wx Y Luiix -ex, I ,,-N-I ... 3 - '51 fn X xg, -he K i A -ix' A 42' . 1 .

The theme ot last year's Senior Ball was Fiesta, The auditorium was gaily decorated in Mexican motifs. Wide sombreros, lazy Mexican senors, and prickly paper cacti gave an atmosphere of old Mexico, and brightly colored paf per streamers and balloons completed the Fiesta mood. The Senior Ball, although not the only social event ot the school year, is probably the most outf standing. The cheerleaders sponsored the Sno-Ball in the mid-winter, and chose for their theme Star- dust, This was a semi-formal dance set against a wintry background. Throughout the year, many school parties are held for the enioyment of the student body. These dances are sponsored by clubs and classes. They are ot a less formal nature than the balls, and ale ways attract a large group of boys and girls who enjoy dancing and seeing the entertainment which is sometimes provided. Various members ot the lac ulty are on hand to chaperone and ioin in the fun. The Iunior High School is allowed to attend these parties, where these students get their tirsl appar' tunity to learn the social skills ot dancing. Some ot the special school parties given in the past year or so have been the Bunny Hop , the St. Patricks Day Dance, and the lunior Party. Square dances are provided by the clubs now and then for variety. We teel that our school program is a we-ll' rounded one in social activities. The proverb, All work and no play makes lack a dull boy , is a true one, but cannot ke applied to these happy students you see pictured above.

This is typical of the different groups that enjoy the Saugerties High School Senior Ball. The Ball is the big night socially of the students' high school career, and a feeling of happiness prevails over the gaily decorated gymnasium. The rainbow are ray ot formal dresses worn by the girls changes them into Cinderellas for this very special night, and the formally dressed boys become Prince Charmings. The students get a very grown-up feeling, and are on their best behavior to complement the atmosphere. ln some cases, the boys get to use the family car for the occasion. Whether they are trustworthy of the privilege or not remains to be seen after the ball has ended. The younger members of the faculty are present and trip the light fantastic along with the boys and girls, while older faculty members resign themselves to enjoying the festivities from the sidelines. There are always a few parents present who like to see their offspring enjoying themselves in their finery. Coming events cast their shadows before. These young people are learning early in life to enjoy wholesome social recreation, and will probably con- tinue to do so throughout their lives. Schools of today teach not only the three Pls, but include in their program music, art, physical education, and school parties, the par excellence of which is the Senior Ball. Here, we see social dancing as an excellent form of expression, which provides great pleasure tor those enjoying themselves in this way. Young people attending the Ball are learning the first steps in the living-together process. Dancing and taking time out for punch, everyone had a wonderful time at the '53 Senior Ball. Senior-Junior Picnic af Taghlcanjc Park Each year, after the termination of regular school sessions, the two upper classes of Saug- erties High School hold their annual picnic. The custom has been established that the juniors take the seniors on the picnic as a fare- well gesture. This is made possible through the sale of magazine subscriptions to cover the cost cf the food and buses. The surplus money they save as a nest egg to start their senior year. The l953 junior-Senior Picnic was held at scenic Taghkanic Park. The students enjoyed r day of swimming, sunbathing, and eating. After lunch, letter awards were presented to those who had earned them. The juniors rendered two songs to their departing class- mates: one was sentimental and the other was nonsensical. The seniors sang the same type of songs to the juniors. At the end of the day, the chartered buses containing sunburned, happy students left Taghkanic Park with many pleasant memories.

The time at which grades seven through twelve of Saugerties High School hold their annual picnics is known as Moving-Up week. Although final tests have not been taken, formal classwork is over, and it's time to end another busy year on a pleasant note. Although the juniors and seniors go to Taghkanic Lake, the other classes enjoy themselves at picnics in and around the Saugerties area. The fresh- men and sophomores held their l953 picnic at Trnka's, where they could swim, play baseball and other games. Everyone brought his own lunch and supplemented it with soda, cake, and watermelon supplied by the class treas- uries. The seventh and eighth grades lunched at Cantine's Field and partici- pated in sports such as baseball, tennis, ond games provided by entertainment committees made up of students. Mov- ing-Up-Week is always a happy ending to another chapter of school life. pw, S ' 351,21 .. - Nu an in + 496 .aw ,flu 2-L., 5 I' -655 x ,.,,.,., -my 4.5.

Page 22 Gail Abbot! Scores in the Broadjump. The newest addition to the sports program at Saugerties High School is track. There has been a steady improvement in our teams' performance, cli- maxed by a third place finish in the league meet last year. Track, While not a great spectator sport at the high school level, can give a boy a great deal of personal satisfaction for a deed well done, for when he finishes a race or a field event, his standing is based upon individual effort his own. Thus he is not aided or hampered by a teammates effort. lt is the dependence upon one's self and the personal satisfaction of a job well done, which aid in building better attitudes toward life. ln the future, with an increased number of boys seeking a place on the squad, the team should be one which is a credit to the school and to the boys who participate.

Among these players were Sal Misasi, Robert Pearson, lohn Keeley, and rnany others. The night Football Game, held on Halloween, was played with New Paltz this year. lt was a close game until Robert Carpenter was injured and was forced to leave the field. New Paltz won the game with her superior speed. We owe a vote of thanks to the Father Harty Drum Corps which gave a splendid performance between halves. This year more players will be lost, but we are looking forward with anticipation to our fourth season next year.

H S. is an lmporiani fob in Building School Spirit Spurring our teams on to victory this year were seven spirited, vivacious girls. These are our varsity cheerleaders who were chosen from the sophomore, junior, and senior classes. They work up enthusiasm among the onlookers at games, and cheer our boys to play their best. E During the noon hour of the clay before games, the cheerleaders hold rallies to stimulate interest and teach the cheers to the students. They also hold food sales, and sponsor the Snow Ball in the winter to earn money for new uniforms. The junior varsity cheerleaders lead in the cheering for the I. V. teams, and assist the varsity girls in their activities. They perform a useful service by hiring buses which enable the student body to attend out-of-town games.

Our Iunior High School has carried out a very active athletic program this year. in the fail, the boys had a football league in which they learned the fundamentals of this sport. During the winter months, a Saturday morning Basketball League was formed, and an eight game schedule was played against other junior high schools in the area in- cluding Catskill, Glasco, Kerhonkson, and Onteora. Spring, of course, turned our thoughts to softball, and the junior high boys had a softball league, and learned softball fundamentals. The Iunior High School girls were also active in sports. In the fall, they played hockey, and they learned to become future varsity and I. V. cheer- leaders. Winter meant basketball and volleyball as well as classes in social dancing. The girls finished their year with spring softball. Page 35 Our '53 - '54 Varsity Basketball Squad Paqe 36 VARSITY S. H. S. 4l Windham 43 S. H. S. 55 Catskill 60 S. H. S. 46 Marlboro 76 S. H.

The l953 selection, The Captain ot Guard, was set in the colortul, it mythical, kingdom ot Latonia. The main story dealt with the love be-- tween the beautiful Princess Flavia and Andre, a brave but humble guardsman. A secondary plot found Flavia's lovable, eccentric tather, King Nichol- as, trying to restore to wealth his bankrupt king- dom, and cope with his dominating wife and tyran- nical mother-inelaw, who wished to see Flavia marry the dashing Prince ot Oxenstein. The operetta came to a traditional happy ending when the Prince is proved an imposter, and Andre, having been made Captain ot the Guard, could marry Flavia. King Nicholas set the kingdom back on its teet with money he Won gambling in another country, and proves Page 42 MUSICAL HEIGHTS IN THE OPERETTA PERSONNEL-Seated, left to right: I. Pfeiffer, M. A.

Music is as much a part of life as reading, writing, and arithmetic. Today children are en- couraged to learn music from kindergarten on up through senior high school. The results of this can loe seen plainly by the tact that today almost no one in the younger generation is tone deaf, Whereas in the not too far distant past, almost 2554 of the people couldn't sing. Our annual operettas are not only an enjoy- able audience experience, but also a splendid op- portunity for the participants who can express them- selves through their musical and dramatic talents Page 113 Stafford, R.

Saugeriies High School Publications This year, l954, is the 30th Anniversary of the introduction of THE SAWYER which has been pub- lished annually with the exception of one of the years of World War ll when scarcity of material forced us to suspend issue. Our Saugerties High School year book brings to our friends and all people interested in school life, the high-lights of the past school year as Well as some reminiscences in pic- tures of past years. Each year the staff selects a theme which usually represents some local industry, sport or sea scene, though insects, fish, and other ideas have been used. This year's theme is Moun- tains and most of us will recognize many of the scenes. Probably the most important publication organ of our school is the Weekly Ulsierette, a single mimeo- graphed sheet which keeps the students and faculty advised as to future programs, changes in regula- tions and other subjects of interest. A different edi- tor is selected for each of the ten months of the school year. Students of the Commerce Department under the guidance of Mrs. Heermance type and mimeo- graph each issue. This is also the thirtieth anniver- sary of the Ulsterette. lt has served the students and faculty for thirty years Without interruption. For years it was a monthly or quarterly publicationg in late years it has become a weekly paper. The current policy is to feature future events rather than what has already transpired. l' The So Wyer 1925--Roland Heerrnarrce 1926'- 1927 1928 1929 l93U 1931 Etliel Grundlioter' Donald Fellows Florence A.

Ellen Ann Hartley and Iean- ette Crandall were chairmen for the two companies. The Iunior Party was held on November 2. It in- cluded dancing to the music of the Swing Band, top entertainment, delicious refreshments, and plenty of hard work. Sorne of those who put in a really helping hand were: Iean Iackson, the general chair- manp Linda Ball, Barbara Genthner, Bill McCormick, the class officers, and Miss Lente. ln February, members of the Iunior Class let their hair down, put make-up on, and pretended they were opening a show on Broadway instead of presenting their play to an assembly. Coached by Mr. Ross, the play was a success. Arbor Day ceremonies were held in April. Iohn La Houd the Senior Class President, pre- sented to Don McCaig, our Class President, a tree which Don planted in the park across from the school. At the Iunior Picnic in Iune at Lake Taghanic, the Iunior and Senior classes enjoyed eating, swimming, and singing which all-in-all was a moving-up day we shall never forget. On Iune 21, the Iuniors pre- sented small gifts to members of the Senior Class in Class Night ceremonies. Next year, we, the Class of l955, shall be receiving gifts from the Class of l956, and that will be the end of our long years in school. Class Night marked the end of the l953-54 activities for the Iunior Class. PERSCNNELeFront Row, left to ight: E, Baran, N. Hommel, E. Scheu, M. Schoonmaker, R. Terwilliger, P. Anderson, M.

We are happy to have that first year trial period behind us and are looking forward with confidence to all the events and activities to come. Sophomores this year have excelled in interclass activities, particularly Christmas speaking and bas- ketball. Members of the class have also participated in all interschool Varsity and Iunior Varsity events. While we are looking forward to our usual success in all activities of the spring picnics and the fulfillment of our second year of high school, we have our highest sights set on the ninety-six cli- plomas waiting for us at the end of the Senior year.

We are proud of our leadership in the various club programs, and our part in Iunior Choir, the high school orchestra, and the athletics program. We have sponsored Victory Parties, competed against other schools in baseball and basketball, done some cheer leading, put on a play for assem- bly, and generally have enjoyed our position as the senior group of the Iunior High Department. We feel that our presence has been felt just a bit more in the Esopus Council meetings. As eighth graders we have found ourselves more at home in the gen- eral scheme of things here in Saugerties High School. We are looking forward to Senior High and are sure that we won't find it to be quite so great a jump as it was from Grade School to Iunior Hgih. The class of 1958 is proud of its past achieve- ments and looks forward to all the good things yet to come!

We look forward to the many activities in which the upper classes partici- pate. However, our step to Iunior High was in itself a big one. Changing classes, adjusting ourselves to many teachers, following a complicated schedule, and doing homework have been a great deal differ- ent from Grade School, Most of us have joined at least one club, many belong to two. We attend Victory Parties, sing in the Iunior Choir, and all-in-all begin to feel our- selves an important part of Saugerties High School. Our Esopus Council representatives add their voices to the august body, and though as yet our influence in the Council is small, we anticipate the day when we shall help to lead it. Most of us participate in the athletics program and the experience we gain here in football, baseball, and basketball will prepare us for the time when we will be the Varsity. We hope that you will keep your eye on the class of l959. You will be hearing a great deal more about us in the years to come! . iv Z X GZ ,J fi , f E111 5 p W M J . , V f jf,-N xxx ff' X ,,.v-.,- ,, Y ' QD' 3'ix, .

SENICDRS Page 73 Page 74 Salufafory By Clyde Knauert Four years ago we entered Saugerties High School as freshmen. Graduation was very remote in our mind. Our thoughts were of the present: home- work, classes, detention, and, of course, more cheer- ful things--school parties, sports, and vacations. It is always easier to look back than it is to see ahead. With the beginning of each year, the time before us seemed interminable. Then, after the work was over, we glanced back to see that the interval was really short. To be honest, we cannot say that we are wholly sorry to leave school but we know that we shall miss the fun in classes, at dances, at proms, and the companionship of our teachers and classmates. Our education consisted not only of that from books but also from our parents, our teachers, and our friends. They have prepared us to step out into the World as we are doing tonight. We welcome you to our commencement to see us take our first steps toward maturity. Valedjcfory By MARY ANN MYER Into the life of each of us come many begin- nings and many endings. From the time of our first uncertain steps we have faced newer and great- er challenges each year. Throughout these years we have been guided and taught by our parents, teachers, and friends. Helping hands have cleared the path for us, and led us over the rough terrain of life's highway. Tonight, we face both an ending and a begin- ning in our lives. As members of the Graduating Class of 1954, our days at Saugerties High School are brought to a close, and with them we must leave the guidance on which we have until now depended. In its place, we have been given the candles of knowledge to show us the way. H We have lighted our candles and now go out into the world to use and increase their radiance. Before we leave, we wish to thank all of you for your help and guidance which has been so valuable to us, and so all too often unappreciated. We, as citizens of a new generation, now step forward to take our places in the march of time. Senior Class Poem UPON THE WARP OF THE PAST WE SHALL WEAVE THE FABRIC OF THE FUTURE by Marion Stay We are the new generation Who will one day carry the ball, For our great and glorious nation, To keep it the greatest of all. We'll hold our ancient traditions But, instead of lip-service, We'll try To give them their true attributions And keep our ambitions aimed high. Our nation's greatest must never Be employed as a weapon of force, Nor a bribe, nor a threat, nor a lever To thrust upon others our course. Be it our constant endeavor To promote a lasting Peace On this planet so that forever All wars and destruction may cease. The founders of our great nation Placed their unbounded faith within The Master of all of creation. By that faith we shall surely win. While future's fabric were weaving Into part of life's tapestry vastg A few threads of gold We'll be leaving On the warp of our noble past. Senior Class Ofhcers R0 ELI: .

The stars shone with what seemed to be an unusual brilliance, at least to the happy couples attending the l954 Sno- Ball. lt was a wonderful night. lnside, the gym was gaily decorated with bal- loons and artificial snowflakes. The students danced and enjoyed refreshments at the schools' biggest mid-winter social event. Faculty members served as chaperones, and enjoyed themselves almost as much as the younger set. The Sno-Ball, a semi-formal party, gave the girls the chance to shine in their beautiful gowns. lt came in late lanuary, after the mid-term examina- tions, and furnished relaxation for those who had studied hard for tests. The Varsity and lunior Varsity Cheerleaders sponsored the l954 Sno-Ball. They worked hard, and did well at turning out one of the best mid-winter balls in Saugerties High School in a long time. Those attending brought home another happy memory for their mental high school scrapbook, and began looking forward to the other big dance of the year, the Senior Ball. The theme for the year's Sno-Ball was Blue Moon, and the flats were designed by Bruce Acker- ITICIH.
