GREETINGS to fellow alumni and to the future alumni of Sauquoit Valley Central School: I know it must give you a feeling of pride to know that as an association we have at last reached the goal we set out to make last year. At the banquet last Iune, we gave our first scholarship to Alice Lasher, who is now a freshman in Albany State College. This year we have the same kind of scholarship to offer one of the members of the present Senior Class. The Alumni started a new custom this year by present- ing an alumni play Charley's Aunt . The play was directed by Helene Prichard. The cast of the play was as follows: William Latus, Bennie Tyran, Iohn Donahue, Lois Wood, Lester White, Christina Mayton, Thelma Bird, Stanley Ba- wol, David Morehead, Iulia Loughlin and Michael Halenar. We would like to make an alumni play an annual event to keep the scholarship fund secure. Mr. Wesley Morgan, the president, wishes to express his appreciation for the excellent support given him in carry- ing out the work of this year, and he sincerely hopes that we can get more active alumni so that a one hundred per cent goal can be reached. 55537 U ' 9 1 .

At Christmas, the play, Mimi Lights the Candle , was given in assembly. On May third the club gave a program of three one-act plays. The plays were entitled- The Ghost in the Green Gown , Yes Means No , and Drums of Death . A skit entitled Midnight Fantasy was produced between acts. The final activities of the club have not been decided upon at the present date.

Bam! THE SAUQUOIT VALLEY CENTRAL BAND, organized in October, 1938, has shown great improvement in instrumentation and performance during the present school year. Seven pupils who were not previously enrolled have joined the organization during the year, bringing the membership to thirty-three. The Band has performed at several football and basketball games during the season, and also at other school functions. The Parent-Teachers Association has begun a campaign to provide a fund for band uniforms. page eleven 35597 page twelve fl-V-C+ Senioa 61444 DURING their four years in high school, the senior class has gradually decreased to forty members. When this class first entered high school, it wanted to gain only one thing-education. It has not only acquired much value in education but has also learned sportsmanship and loyalty. The honors of valedictorian and salutatorian were won by Anna Kogut and Margaret Weigel, respectively. Those who represented the seniors in boys' basketball are Thomas O'Neil, Gordon Green, james Bombace, Florian Swan, Roger Schafer. In girls' basket- ball, the following seniors participated: Shirley Way, Dorothy Rohl, Mildred Clark, Rita Crowe and Mary jones. In football, these senior boys played: joseph Briggs, Gordon Green, Lewis Smith, Robert Smith, Roger Schafer, james Bom- bace, james Jordon and Norman Pashley. justin Donahue was manager of the football and the boys' basketball teams. In the fall of 1939, the senior class sponsored a successful dance. On Decem- ber third the seniors presented Growing Pains , a three-act comedy. This play proved very entertaining. A Z. .t.l THE FUTURE FARMERS, ASSOCIATION sponsored a dance on September 29, 1939, with Bill Geiser's Orchestra playing. On October 19, 1939, the junior Class gave a dance. The music was furnished by Pop Martin and the Coys . The Senior Class held a dance on December 21, 1939, with music by Bill Geiser and his orchestra.

Qwhman Glau Jldiofuf WE, THIZ FRESHMAN CLASS or 1939-1940, came to Sauquoit Valley Central School in September, 1937, as seventh graders. Wfe were green and did not know our way about. We were given into the care of Miss Slayton and Mr. Worrell. During the year we succeeded in losing some of our verdant appearance. In 1938 we became eighth graders. We were placed under the guidance of Miss Vifeigel and Mr. O'Connor. During that year we gained one permanent member and two who stayed only a short while. Our one entertainment of the year was a seventh-eighth grade party given near the end of the school year. Our chaperons at this party were Miss Weigel, Miss Slayton, Mr. Worrell and Mr. O'Connor. The next year we became Freshmen! Under the care of Miss Evans we number at present about sixty pupils. page seventeen ?f'v'C 4- Siucfenl' Gonna! THE STUDENT BODY of the Sauquoit Valley Central School has made a distinct forward step in organiz- ing a Student Council. The school administration welcomes this coordinating council in the junior- Senior High School. Definite progress in coordinat- ing and developing school functions, school activi- ties, and school organizations.should follow this new step. The history of the organization of this group has been rather indefinite and uncertain. The mat- ter of a Student Council was first approached in the fall of 1932, when the student body definitely rejected such an organization. A group of officers from the Little Falls Student Council spoke before our Assembly in the spring of 1938 and met the leadership of the upper classes at a tea in the home- making rooms to discuss this matter. A committee made some progress at that time, but due to com- mencement activities, failed to complete the organ- ization. Members of the student body approached Mr. Norton during this semester and requested that a Student Council be permitted to organize. This suggestion was readily accepted and the organiza- tion, through representatives of the home rooms and under the direction of Mr. Norton and Mr. Fa- ville, wrote a constitution which was duly adopted by the student body. Gordon Green and Anna Kogut were elected as temporary ofiicers of this young organization until a regular election could be held. At a regularly held election the following officers were elected for the school year 1940-41: President .............. ....... H oward Weyant Vice-President ...... ....... E sther Terns Treasurer ....... ....... B etty Sherman Secretary .................................... Claire Mellinger Advisors-Mr. Norton, Mr. Faville, Mrs. Prich- ard and Miss Gill Three things are particularly noteworthy in the final organization of the Student Council: 1. The Preamble and Purpose recognizes high ideals in scholarship, sportsmanship, and character. 2. The organization is a student organization arising from their desire and organized through their efforts and according to their beliefs. page eighteen 3. The statements of the purpose of the organ- ization recognizes the proper position of such a Student Council in the general school or- ganization. The Student Council should have a very definite infiuence in the direction of school activities, thought, and sportsmanship. I think that a quota- tion of the purpose of the Student Council will best show how this will influence the school activities: PURPOSE: The purpose of this organization is to unify the school by bringing together all com- mittees and clubs under a central organization mak- ing possible concerted action and preventing dupli- cation of workg to keep the students in touch with the problems and activities of the school. This body of representatives from the various home rooms can make very careful observations and studies of conditions which exist in our build- ing and through these representatives carry the remmmefzdaliom to the Principal and Jzzggestiom of the Student Council to the individual students in each home room. Mention of a few of these items which a Student Council can help to improve will be sufficient to show the great value of this organization. The Council may send suggestions back to the students regarding each student's part in keeping our school grounds neat, clean, and free from unnecessary wear. A few of these things are cleaning one's feet before entering the building, making sure that all paper and waste material is placed in the waste baskets in the corridors, home rooms, locker rooms, and basements. Making sure that every effort is made to protect the shrubbery and landscaping of our grounds together with seeing to it that paper, gum wrappers, and other refuse are not unneces- sarily scattered about. The third sphere of influence is in character- building and sportsmanship. This can best be car- ried out through a hospitality committee whose duties are to receive, introduce, and entertain visi- tors, guests, and opposing teams or other school representatives. Such a committee may suggest rules of conduct at athletic contests and public entertain- ments. These suggestions can be taken back to the home rooms and infractions of proper sportsman- ship and conduct can be discussed with offending individuals by a special committee of the Student Council.

B I l SANQUOIT VA1.LEY's Basketball Squad finished a fairly successful season, winning eleven out of eighteen games.

Witli a few seasoned returns and many hopeful aspirants, S. V. C. can look forward to a better than average season. With the new quarter-mile cinder track in much better condition than it was last year, the team will enjoy its workouts much more than it has previously. The jumping pits are also in good condition. Mr. Walkei', the coach, has announced that meets have been arranged with Cherry Valley and Holland Patent. There will be several more meets with neigh- boring schools, but as yet the arrangements for these are not completed. In june the sectional championships will take place at Colgate University. Sauquoit Valley Central expects to have a squad there to represent the school. +I-V424 44444 W W' A ' E va fx Q Snviv '- ' ' W il' ' 'i Lefz zu Right-Mildred Clark, Doris Smith, Betty Bullard, Grace Hough, Marjorie Jones, Mary jones, Margaret Gaffney. iqdcfiyuf Last October 14, the seven girls named represented our school at an archery tournament at Syracuse.

From a number of applicants, she se- lected the five most suitable girls and they were to serve as promoters of school spirit for the 1959-40 season. The girls selected were: Betty Bullard, captain, Gloria Taylor, Vesta Avery, Mary Jones and Vivian Robinson. These girls selected the following as their uniforms for directing cheers: Wliite pleated skirts, white shirts, black sweaters with red and black SVC mega- phones, white hats with SVC letters on them, white socks, and saddle shoes. The purpose of having cheerleaders is to promote school spirit. This is done primarily through the cheers. Cooperation and backing in the student body is essential to any athletic team. The students acquire the necessary spirit through cheering their teammates on to victory. Pep, vitality and school spirit in the leaders often helps to put this same spirit across to the students. Cheerleading, of late, has become a necessity in any form of athletics. fl-V-C+ J! Miss Cassidy: What does tense mean? A Junior: Cloth houses we live in.

Let's look in upon the merry group. A number of villagers are at the bar. Several farmers occupy a table in one corner of the room. Empty beer glasses stand on this table. One of the farmers seems to be talking a great deal, who is he? Oh! I know. He's Hiram Perkins, probably at his usual story-telling. Let's listen to him. Hiram clears his throat and begins: Well, I guess I'll tell you boys about Pat, my bull. I betcha he can run two hundred miles an hour. He's a fast runner -that fellow is. I keep him in a pasture out by the tracks. When he hears a train coming down the tracks, he'll run down to meet that train. Then that bull will race the train, and every time he reaches the end of the pasture before the train does. He'll outrun any automobile you ever saw. Let me tell you-that bull can run. The story ended there for Hiram was called out. Let's visit his farm a day or two after this story-telling. He was doing chores when he spied two farmers coming down the road. Hiram knew that they remembered his story and were coming to see his remark- able bull. In a panic he called to his wife, Eliza, I told those farmers coming down the road a crazy story about the fast speed at which my bull can travel, and now they have come to see him. What can I do ? His wife replied, Donlt worry. You just leave the matter to me. I'll take care of it, but you hurry into the house and out of sight. Hiram, only too thankful, went inside while his wife went to the gate to meet the farmers. When they asked for Hiram, she told them that he had gone to California. They asked when he had gone and when he was coming back. She said, He went this afternoon, and he is coming back tomorrow morning. The farmers gasped and said, He can't be back that soonf, She answered, Oh, yes, he can, Hiram rode his bull. 7fze Jlunifiman WHENEVER and wherever hunters, fishermen, or other sportsmen get together, there is always told this tale of the mighty huntsman, whom, for short, we will call Weasel',. Once upon a time, Weasel went hunting-deer hunting, to be more specific. He tramped for miles and miles and miles with no luck. Suddenly he neared the edge of a woods. In the dim twilight of late autumn, he could see on the ground the unmistakable footprints of a deer! With hands that were trembling and a heart that was beating wildly, our hero approached his quarry. On the other side of the woods a huge horned animal was slowly browsing on the parched grass. Our hero advanced cautiously. He aimed! He fired! From the other side of the woods there was a terrible threshing and a low, mournful moo-moo . Alas and alack! Our hero had shot a cow! . But don't give up, Coach! We all wish you better luck next time. PI-V-C+ 14Q'aeaZ'14mmahaa7Ufxo-mfrqfmbze UNDOUBTEDLY every American citizen admires at least one of the great leaders of our democratic clan. I, like other citizens, admire one of these great leaders of our nation. Of late, my admiration has been cast upon Thomas E. Dewey, Chief District Attorney of New York City and former candidate for Governor of New York State. Until his great exploit in trying to diminish the overwhelming power of the racketeering enterprise, Mr. Dewey was practically unknown to me. Reading articles concerning his forceful and successful crushing of the underworld racketeers in New York made me fully realize the value of what he is doing to help make America a better place in which to live. In addition to his undermining of racketeering forces, Mr. Dewey has been making an attempt to urge the American people to a better democracy. It is obvious that he is trying to assist the American citizens collectively rather than the group of egoists who call themselves honest politicians . These efforts of Mr. Dewey provide reason enough for me to admire this great American immensely. -Doius SMITH. ww napa Uwe vw, sazmz THIS DAY AND AGE seems to be a period when everyone in our country takes his blessings and privileges for granted and does not realize that he owes thanks for them. If such an attitude is common among adults, who can criticize young high school pupils for being of the same mind? It is only too true that high school children do take all that is given them and do not return thanks. If they are not grateful for their many advantages, how can one expect them to realize that they owe much to the school which they attend. It is on this idea that I wish to write. I should like to make high school pupils understand just what they do owe their school. I think that, first and foremost, children owe their school loyalty. This loyalty will require their keeping their school in mind always and their rendering it any possible service at any time. This loyalty will demand, too, that they always speak well of their school and never say anything unkind or untrue of it because they have been displeased as a result of some trifling matter. Loyalty means also that the pupils live up to what their school expects of them. It means that they do their best in work after graduation or in continuing their education. Pupils also owe their school work-good hard work. Why shouldn't they owe their best mental efforts when school gives them education, health betterment, recreation, social contacts, and an opportunity to become worthwhile? Pupils owe their school this idea of work even after they have left school. If they do not work for mankind, they will not be following the principle taught them while they were attending school. -REGINA ALLEN. Q44 page twenty-seven 55555 page twenty-eight PI'V-C +5 25001 ,a School Zcfucalion pay? EIGHTEEN DECADES AGO, on account of the general lack of an ordinary educa- tion, the query as to whether a high school pays would have required much more consideration than it requires today. In the days of Benjamin Franklin, few were receiving a high school education, and, of course, the feasibility of procuring a secondary education was questioned extensively because so few people were interested in such an opportunity. The majority of the people thought of little except the necessity of securing their livelihood by tilling the soil or by laboring in some other unskilled fashion. Today, every individual must make his decision as to the course by which he intends to earn his living. Will he become a member of that group known as professionals, in which case a high school education is a prerequisite to the course which he selects? Will he enter the business class where a high school diploma is almost synonymous to success? Or will he labor and work with or without a secondary education? In considering these three classifications we find that the first group, in order to become professionals, positively must have a high school education, and that the second class certainly should have such an education if success is desired. The third class, which embraces farmers, mill hands, et cetem, will find that a high school education will stand them in good stead-for instance-the youth who has chosen an agricultural career obtains through education many prelimi- nary fundamental truths guiding him to success. 5 Besides giving people better ways of earning their living, a high school edu- cation does more. It removes from its recipients in a small degree a certain awkwardness and self-consciousness and gives them at least a surface polish and veneer of refinement so that they are better able to take their places in society and thus fulfill one of the primary purposes of their existence. A consideration of the foregoing shows us that no matter what our station in life-a high school education pays large dividends. fI'V-C+ va ,cz ag e sazma IN RECENT YEARS the centralizing of schools has become a very common under- taking. Various schools everywhere have been combined under one organization, and many improvements have thus been made possible. This centralization of schools has proved very advantageous. To realize fully the advantages of cen- tralized schools, let us see a comparison between the modern school and the school of thirty years ago. In the first place, how were pupils conveyed to the schools of thirty years ago? To answer this question completely would be an endless task because the methods of going to and from school were so many. As a rule, most of the pupils who lived within a reasonable distance walked to school while others were taken by their parents or by someone of the neighborhood. In some cases, the pupils who resided a few miles from the schools, were conveyed to school by train. But now all has changed, and pupils ride on buses to and from school. Another noticeable difference between the schools is in connection with the heating and lighting systems. In the schools of thirty years ago there were no electric lights to turn on when the days were dark and dreary. Many valuable hours of school were consequently lost. When it was cold, the pupils usually huddled about the huge wood-burning stove. How could pupils have studied under such conditions? Steam heat and electric lights now replace these old methods of heating and lighting. There are many other advantages of centralized schools. Some of these are the varied courses for pupils to select from, the building of libraries right in the schools, and the building of gymnasiums and auditoriums for the pupils to use. A few years ago the pupils didn't have any of these facilities. Now, which school would you prefer to go to, the one of thirty years ago or a modern centralized school? I'm sure that I am entirely satisfied with the school which I now attend. -Doius SMITH. - +66 page twenty-nine ADVERTISERS CONGRATULATIONS and BEST WISHES for A FULL MEASURE OF SUCCESS to the SENIOR CLASS OF SAUQUOIT VALLEY CENTRAL HIGH SCHOOL O THE SAVINGS BANK OF UTICA The Bank with the Gold Dome Compliments of Rex Body Corporation CANASTOTA, NEW YORK Manufacturers of Quality School Bus Bodies Compliments of WILBER SCHOOL EQUIPMENT COMPANY NEW BERLIN, NEW YORK Everything for Visual Educcttio Your SOCONY Dealer for Friendly Service B R O C K WAY scHooL BUSSES SAFETY DEPENDABILITY ECONOMY Our 18th Year!
