Because of your spirit, ambition and willingness to work, you have made i952-53 one of the finest years in the history of Seneca. Because of your class we have a student committee organization which has been outstanding in its success. You have organized and administered your student activities in a most admirable way. To all the members of these committees, my sincerest congratulations. ' - The Warrior and Chieftain staffs have done an outstanding piece of work.' Looking back over the year, l remember the office and the rooms of the advisors for these school publications have been beehives of constant activity from 7:30 in the morning until late in the afternoon. Our assemblies have shown a big improvement over former years, again because of the stu- dent participation before and behind the scenes. More students have taken an active part in es- say contests ancl the like, bringing more honors to yourselves and to your school. Our athletic teams have again given an excellent account of themselves, especially in their sportsmanship. You seniors can be proud of this record because you made up the biggest repre- sentation on the team. And no other school can boast of better support given the teams by their classmates. At almost every sports event our student attendance has outnumbered our opponents. Yes, graduates, you have started what we hope will be a tradition atSeneca, a senior class that leads, a senior class that cooperates, a senior class that initiates new ideas which make a better school. On behalf of the faculty, let me again congratulate you and thank you. May we hope that this is only the beginning of your taking an active part in all your future endeavors and that Seneca students will be the leaders in industry, business organizations and government. You have made the start, keep going. Your principal 0144- 6 1 P 1 ,, Nev. as , 'fb' Qiisg' 4 QA, 1 ggi. Aijjweiqmwhlrdf-I 4' ' af! ,f A : ' ,, L. A , X ., M ,,, ,1 K.

Football EIHE Seneca Indian football team finished the regular season with an impressive 4 wins - I loss record, which gave them second place in their league and the right to play on Thanksgiving Day. Coach John Nowak had the team employ the T formation varying to an I formation. The boys favored the T because it gave them the advantage ofa ver deceptive offense. Although the team had an excellent offense, their rugged defense accounted for many victories. Coach Nowak put a special emphasis on defense as the Indians' opponents soon found out. No team was able to score by going through the rugged defensive line. The Indians reached their peak when they slammed Kensington 22 - O. Kensington, whose offense was held in almost complete check by the charging Seneca line, did not threaten seriously at any stage of the game and could not penetrate past the Seneca 4l yard line. The Indians gained 232 yards rushing and made I2 first downs in this game. We can indeed be proud of the fact that Norm Pyzikiewicz was named to both the Courier Express and Buffalo Evening News Eleven with John Regan named to the Buffalo Evening News All-High team. Paul Ruhland made the second string all- high team of both papers, Bill Young, Myron Wilson, Don Warzel, Fred Lizewski, Don Winkle, Jerry Klier, and James Mil- ler made honorable mention.

Basketball ENECA'S fighting Indians finished second in Yale Cup Basketball series with a respectable ll - 2 record and had the distinction of being the only team to beat Riverside, who won the cup with a record of I2 wins against l defeat. This game team of ours made a terrific record, despite numerous iniuries to key players during the season. The team was led by five returning lettermen. Bruce Haller, Walter Chatman, Charles Drumm, Jack Halldin, and Jerry Klier, all of whom saw considerable action last year. Haller was the teams' leading scorer, scoring consistantly on drive-in and one-hand shots. At the center position was Walt Chatman, a five foot eleven inch iumping jack who was the smallest center in the series, but very frequently outiumped his opposition, which were usually over six feet. Starting at the guard positions were Drumm and Halldin, two smooth working ball-handlers and playmakers. Rounding out the first team were Klier and Bob Horn, with the latter starting three games when Klier was iniured. Both of these boys excelled in rebounding. Two other boys who saw action were Paul Ruhland and Ronald Kolb. All of these boys are seniors except Kolb, who is a junior. Bruce Haller made the All-High team, while Jack Halldin and Walt Chatman gained Honorable Mention. It is hard to express the greatness of this fighting team which never quit until the final whistle. The entire school is in deed proud of the team and their record.

Track HE day was bright, hearts were tense, and then, as the gun sounded, the pride of Seneca embarked on another success- ful track season. Before the decisive All-Vocational Meet occurred, Seneca had already proven itself a strong con- tender for the league championship by defeating the teams from McKinley, Emerson, and Burgard. Contributing factors toward Seneca's emerging victorious in the All-Vocational Meet were the winning of four events and a tie for the fifth. The boys responsible for these wins: Richard Wagner, 1f4 mile, Al Simmons, lf2 mile, Jerry Klier, broad iump, Al Littrell, 'milep Richard Rettig, pole vault received recognition for their efforts by being awarded berths on both the Buffalo Evening News and the Courier Express All-Vocational teams.

Cross Country S the Cross Country season once again came to a close, the Green and White harriers of Seneca had won three dual meets and places second in the All-Vocational Meet. Seneca, under the guidance of Mr. Thayer, ,was victorious against teams from McKinley, Emerson, and Burgard in the dual meets but the Indians were dethroned by McKinley in the All- Vocational Meet. Seneca had two men in the first five runners in the All-Vocational Meet. Alan Littrell and Jack Meegan placed first and fourth, respectively, to win a place on the All-Vocational team. A new All-Vocational record of I5 minutes and 29 seconds was set by Alan Littrell as he ran the course for the last time in his school career. The three other runners to score points for Seneca were: Dan Green, 7th, Eugene Donohue, 8th, and Walter Chatham, i0th. Although Seneca had five men across the finish line before any other team, they were second to McKinley with a team total of 30 points.

Baseball ENECA'S baseball team of last season, under the supervision of coach Henry Thayer, had an impressive record of four 'wins and two losses in regular season play, and two victories over Bennett and McKinley in the play-off games. The team finished the season in third place in the final standings of the fourteen competing high schools, and was composed mostly of seniors, having ten returning lettermen from last year's squad. The Seneca team had fine pitching throughout most of the season from two experienced pitchers, Ed Gruber and Jim Garbacz, who together allowed an average of slightly less than three runs per game in the eight games played this season. It was Ed Gruber who performed by far the most spectacular feat of the season by pitching Seneca to a no-hit, no-run victory over a good East High team. Dick Scarafia, Seneca's star outfielder, was awarded the honor of being selected to an outfield spot on the Buffalo Eve- ning News All-High baseball team. Honorable mention on the All-High team was also gained by other Seneca players. Certainly everyone attending Seneca compliments Mr. Thayer on his i952 baseball club which during the season always dis- played such wonderful sportsmanship.

During the season the Redmen defeated Canisius in their first meeting. However, Canisius defeated the Redmen in the Second game and the Redmen finally bowed out in the last inning of the de- ciding game, 4 - 3. At the close of the season, the Redmen had a good record of 5 wins and 2 losses.

Although the Chieftains had five batsmen who hit .300 or above and a star pitcher in the person of Jim Garbacz, who had a no-hitter and a three-hitter to his credit, they were unable to defeat the S. 8. S. Club and the Canisius Crusaders in the play-off games.

The hot stick of Bob Graczyk, the twelve double plays executed by the Warriors', and the brilliant pitching of Carl Meyer were largely responsible for the Warriors' successful season. The third game of the season was high-lighted by the no-hitter pitched by Carl Meyer, who finished the season winning 4 and losing none.

The Indian dancers enthusias- tically perform the dances of the American Indian with zeal and zest that they imbue into the audience a feel- ing of the sacredness the ceremonies represent. This group was organized last year to perform at as- sembly programs, such as Moving-Up Day and the intro- duction of new members into the Seneca tribe. They are adorned in costumes which are close replicas of those worn by the Indians. This organization, under the guidance of Mr. Glass, is very proud of the fact that they make 'all their own costumes. Three boys, John Mayer, Warren Menden, and Edward Mann, are responsiblefor teaching the mem- bers these dances. Left to right - I. Provino, R. Dietrich, C. Meyer, L. Neal, E. Mann, V. Russo, Mr. T.

E projection crew, although completely be- hind the scenes, have a great deal to do with the efficient and enioyable running of assemblies. Their duties are many and varied. The boys are not confined to running the movie projector, they also produce many of the varied lighting effects from the projection booth. These boys are trained to make tape recordings, to run both the portable and slide proiector, and to repair all equipment. This year another task was added at the request of the boys themselves. A committee of three boys now take care of the ordering of films. Frank Allen, Ralph Wissing, and Joseph Kuehmeier have ordered films from the movie concerns of Buffalo. At the request of a teacher, the crew orders the films, sets up the equipment, shows the movie, and returns it to the film center. Visitors to the school are frequently interviewed on the tape recorder. The boys on the projection staff are proud to serve their school by carrying out these duties.

The reporters are trained to develop a nose for news as they search for leads among the activities of the students. They cover all regular beats and in addition, are alert for news from other sources. The more popular regular features in the paper include: Around Seneca, Pain and Ink, Tips for Teens, Looking Sideways, Movie Corner, Senior Spotlight, and the Inquiring Reporter. To stimulate interest in the school library, a What's the Answer? quiz was sponsored. The lucky prize winners received a subscription tothe yearbook, while all the other students had an added incentive in using library tools. Each edition is the result of long hours of work by The Warrior staff, compiling and editing the news to give a true picture of life at Seneca.

CWHE publication of The Warrior would have been impossible without the excellent work done by this half of the staff. These boys have made it their business to provide you with the very best school pa- per possible. They spend much time and effort learning everything about the functions of their par- ticular staffs in order that they may become more proficientand thus give you an ever-improving paper. This staff contributes to the paper the many on- the-spot pictures of assemblies and sports events taken by the ever-present photographers, the humor- ous cartoons created by the art staff, and also the numerous advertisements sold by the never-tiring salesmen of our advertising staff. After everything has been checked and typed by our typing staff, the layout staff goes to work, selecting the headlines and then arranging and rearranging every single ar- ticle and pictures on the various pages, according to their importance, in order to make the appearance of the paper more attractive. Then, after the circulation staff has done its iob, you finally receive your copy of The Warrior, bring- ing you another phase of our life here at Seneca. Layout Staff Layout Editors . .

Most of these are honor students, or boys who excel in their respective shops. Two students are selected to attend the board for each period during the day, making a total of sixteen students, who represent the iunior and sen- ior classes. As a switchboard operator, the students learn a variety of things, such as how to manipulate a switchboard properly, how to give and receive in- Formation and relay it to its proper destination, andalso d Operators how a well-organized office functions. The variety of things he learns will benefit him a great deal in the future. Besides attending to incoming calls, the switch- board operators have the responsibility of doing clerical work, circulating messages throughout the building, contacting students for teachers, and per- forming various other duties. The student who has been fortunate enough to acquire this post will leave in his Alma Mater with the satisfaction of knowing that he has developed a quick thinking mind and self-assurance.

Paul Walters CQHIS group of boys is proud to present to you THE CHIEFTAIN of l953. It is the finished product of many weeks of planning, deep concentration, and untiring work on the part of the many energetic boys who volunteered to use their literary talents in order that you may have the very best yearbook possible. After re- ceiving their assignmehts, they immediately gathered all of the data on the different topics involved. These included the various athletic and social events, school activities, student organizations, and many other im- portant categories. Then came the writing and rewriting of the copy, which then was checked for correct spel- ling, material, purrctuation, and clarity. Many articles had to be either lengthened or shortened according to the layout specifications. Another time consuming task was the identification of each boy's picture, plus the gathering and checking of each graduate's accomplishments throughout his four years here at Seneca. Then the heavy burden of work was handed to the typing and layout staffs. In spite of the numerous trials and tribulations, the deadline was met and we, of the staff, sincerely hope that you will share our deep pride as we present to you THE CHIEFTAIN of l953. 78 First Row: R.

Felix Paterek Art Editor . . . . Ernest Pawlak Raymond Reczek Faculty Advisor - Mr. Victor Gilbert Y looking carefully at THE CHIEFTAIN pages and by observing the number of cartoons and designs, the reader is able to visualize and appreciate the long hours and hard work used in the construction of this book. The photography staff takes, developes, and prints the action and informal pictures that are used in this book. They do all of the necessary enlarging, reducing and retouching of all the prints. The reason this yearbook has it's many action shots is because of the work of two boys, Chuck Girods and Bill VanTine, for they have spent long hours printing and retouching photographs. The layout section of this staff designs each page from the seniors to the advertising section. They organize each section and produce the dummy yearbook. Designing the cover, illustrating the separation pages, and drawing cartoons are the main tasks of the art staff. As a team, this combination co-operates efficiently. They have tried to give you a book of memories that will enable you to recall, in the future, the years spent here at Seneca. 79 Working on e 1, g Yearbook VJIH! fi: 'iffy , K 4 W .. W K 3 W .W-X .

CHE clanging of symbols and the banging of drums tells the students of Seneca that the band is practicing enthusiastically in either the auditorium or their small practice room in the basement. This year the noises are louder, and they last longer for the members of this organ- ization have added many tunes to their musical collection. With the harmonious syn- :hronization of sounds creat- ed by the band during an as- sembly program, there are very few clues to show how seldom they practice together. During the First, second, third, seventh, and eighth periods on Tues- day and Friday, they attempt to improve their play- ing so that they may excel the standards that have already been set up by previous Seneca bands. Many boys have become quite prominent in the band. Among these outstanding players are: Daniel Quatraro, clarinet and saxophone, Norman Baie and Donald Wells, trumpet, Elmore Alexander, trom- bone, Frank Falzone, accordian. These boys, under 'the guidance of Mr. Wells, have one of the successful organizations in Seneca. Mr. Emotion??? 81 F. Scherer, C. Pittiri, R. Ebersol, J. Rietter, J. Schreiner, G. Hoehn. CHE Color Guard of 1952-53, which opens near- ly every assembly with a patriotic march down the aisles, was composed of Frank Scherer, Carmelo Pitirri, and Richard Ebersole on the American flag side, and Gerry Hoehn, Joseph Schreiner, and John Rietter on the Seneca's school colors side. On two assembly days when Frank Scherer was absent, a very capable senior, Carl Cordovano, took his place. Richard Ruhland substituted for John Riet- ter when John reported on the Capitol Expenditures meeting. When the Teacher's Convention li held a meeting at Seneca last fall, these boys report- ed to school, so that the convention could be opened with the traditional Seneca flag ceremony. The students show their patriotism during the color presentation by standing at attention, by saluting the American flag at Carmelo Pitirri's signal, and by singing Th lar-Spangled Banner as Mr. Gilbert plays it on the organ. The boys of the Color Guard, who are chosen by their previous year's record, consider it a 'privilege and an honor to be part of such an inspiring and loyal activity. 82 Paul Becker Edwin Dondajewski Carmen Parisi Ronald Trafalski Joseph Grambra Cheerleaders CHE football team had a new but eager group of cheerleaders backing them this year. Virtually crippled by the loss of three season veterans, the cheer- leading squad was composed of fresh recruits, under the supervision of Mr. Boehmer, soon developedinto experts as they executed their vigorous gymnastics. Stadium rafters rang with the resounding cries of Seneca rooters as the cheerleaders led them with a large variety of cheers. Team spirit was kept high and the school morale elevated to its highest peak by these boys in the white sweaters. Even with the loss of our great football en- thusiast, Mr. Pritchard, our cheerleaders encouraged many roof raising cheers at our assemblies. Our original applause meter again made its welcome appearance on the Seneca stage to challenge the exuberant shouts of the victory-eager student body. 83 Just proud. 4 Feel my muscle First Row: W.

The boys in this organization are selected by the same method used last year. Each roll call elects both a representative and an alternate who attend all meetings. They have drawn up a constitution which will become a permanent document here at school. These industrious boys are also responsible for selling subscriptions for the yearbook and for collecting funds for such worthy causes as the Red Cross. It is also their duty to see to it that the wishes of the student body are fulfilled. Under the able guidance of Mr. Thomas Glass, these boys have enioyed a very successful year.

If you were to follow these melodious sounds, they would lead you to the school'sauditorium where, under the direction of Mr. Wells, the boys of the Glee Club learn new songs and learn to harmonize the tunes already mastered. The organization is composed mostly of sopho- mores who held a membership in the Freshman Annex Glee Club last year. These boys participate in many of the school's assembly programs. Among the songs they have sung at these programs are The Lord's Prayer and The Battle Hymn of the Republic , the latter being their favorite. The members of the club devote their time to further their music appreciation, and these efforts they so willingly extend are deeply appreciated by the student body.

HECKMATEH, accompanied by moans from an- other chess enthusiast, means the finish of an- other game of this battle of the chess board. These sounds are more commonly heard on Monday and Thursday after school as this is the time the Chess Club assembles in the Cafeteria. This club, under the guidance of Mr. Carl Kuehn, has established a fine record for this season. Only one of last year's players graduated, and, a strong first team. During meetings members play against each other in an attempt to strengthen their own game. Previous games are played over, and the mistakes are pointed out. Also on the agenda is the collection of monthly dues. Seneca's Chess Club started the season with an inspiring 4 - l victory over McKinley. They fol- lowed this with a win over Grover Cleveland by beating them 3 - 2. therefore, this organization has been able to build k7.E?8ii'li7l? 5i s-waawir -:'?'iffi'Q'.'A7'i?i4 'I 1 '-f,q,g?'pSq'j Kiiijiigwypgfg- 1.z.e??.. -.S-2,s. .fav-, r-3-215i'fg rrwzgczwficn 'Qs 1 U .A .4 sw, ::!'f- - .iid-A JV, mc., 3Y:,'yZiSr5Q':9b ,.--B'1'7 i'i55Mf yr-ze.'g5,4e:ssq farm? 51 si 60231 siiggiei 3533 H , -5 as if. 1 .yr I 3 aergqiiiszcs ifkffzw 1 -n r'Wgn..,-,fini Qinnamzita Chess Club President George Scheitinger Secretary William Young Treasurer Jack Sykes First board George Scheitinger Second board William Young Third board Jack Sykes Fourth board John Fleischbuth Fifth board Joseph Provino Sixth board William Carberry P.

This was a common sight at many of the splash parties sponsored by the Seneca Hi-Y. These marine excursions were only a part of the variety of activities offered. The agile members made up the basketball team which did rel- atively well in city competition. Joint meetings with other Hi-Y groups, especially those with fem- inine components, proved interesting and were great- ly enioyed by all the members.

As Vice-President of the Area Coun- cil, Robert Bleab also attended the State Cabinet Meeting at Syracuse. Because of its increased membership, the Seneca Hi-Y has developed intoa smoothly functioning, well-regulated unit. Much better organization than the club of the past years, this year's Hi-Y has gained recognition as one of the outstanding extra- curricular activities in the school. Ad Club First Row: R.

HE Ad Club of the Seneca yearbook, which is iust completing its second successful year, has captured the spirit and attention of practically every student in Seneca. The purpose of this newly organized club is to help the sales of advertising space in our yearbook, and to give the students experience in sales promotion work. One factor that has enabled this club to capture everyone's spirit and interest is the appointment of Mr. Albert B. Buck as our faculty advisor for the second consecutive year. In order to develop the competitive spirit found in business, selection of the officers for the club is made on the basis of the amount of advertising space sold by each student. Boys who have been selling ads have devel- oped their self-confidence in making business contacts. Not only has the financial success of the yearbook been assured by the sales made by our advertising staff, but also the bays have received valuable experience which will be an asset later in life. 90 Zi E? 5 S Q 5 3 5 Z s Q . . in .f,-, -:-:-'-:Az-.L .,.-.,.-. -- .-.- f V..-,-.'.-,-,.y.-1-1-5.5 -5-.-,-,gg-4.-. , .-,., ,.. .-,,,.,,-.-.

The occasion is the silver anniversary of graduation of the machinists of that great roll call of i952- i953, group 430. Approaching our camera now is the man who iust bought out the Cadet Cleaners, Mr. Clarence Finkbeiner, and with him, Donald Holland, the designer of radiators for flying saucers. The out of season pheasant dinner which is being served tonight was donated by Vincent Nowicki. In the right hand corner of your picture you may notice those two big game hunters, Roger Bingeman and Joseph Verbocy. Just to the left of them is that Texas oil man, Raymond Behlmaier. Just a minutel There seems to be a commotion in the corner. Ah yes, Fimbel is still chasing This spider and watch- ing him very carefully is the head psychiatrist at Forest Avenue, Dr. Edward Endres. In the background you hear Joe Girage's iazz band and some real gone dancing by Warren Menden. In that group iust to the right of the band stand are Mr. Hattenberger, secretary of the Navy and chief speaker tonight, Nick Trbovich, Dean of Harvard, and George Scheitinger, editor of Life magazine. That man in the center of your picture with the Teapot is Ronald Mor- rison. He still doesn't believe in banks. That large group you see entering thru the main archway have iust returned from the Olympic games. Looking closely lsee Norman Duszynski, champ weight lifter, Frank Allen, winner of the ietmobile race, Bill Hammer, champ pie eater, Paul Walters, high scorer in the interplanetary basketball league, Bill Houck, the greatest wrestler of our time, and Ronald Slowinski, who hada race witha turtle and came out a tie. Congratulating them are Leonard Szymanski, who was voted the best dressed man in the U.S. , and Savier Zanda, the new Tarzan of the mo- tion picture industry. As our camera swings to the bar, you can see Mike Ventola, who controls the theaters on the west side, and Ralph Bossert, president of Buffalo Forge, telling their troubles to the bartender, who happens to be Richard Wieand. Yes, everybody is having a gay time here tonight. Everyone that is except Victor Heid. I understand someone found a mistake in one of his perfect drawings. Sitting at that table iust to the left of the bar, we can see Frank Mikler, who is now a sergeant in the lnterplanetary police force, and Richard Wilczak, who is now a grease monkey on the space ships. As we take iust one more look around this vast ballroom, we see, Ralph Wissing, operator of the space Fly-In, Ernest Rossner, who iust inherited Woeppel's millions through a marriage to his daughter, and Joe Kuehmeier, who is now the United States ambassador to Cheektowago. Well, it's sign-off time for tonight, ladies and gentlemen. I hope you had as good a time as we're having. See you twenty-five years from now. Same time. Same channel. Same planet. QWMJ QM. Meng!
