Sharon Springs Central High School - Clarion Yearbook (Sharon Springs, NY)

Text from Pages 1 - 72 of the 1961 volume:

1961 CLARION Dear schoolmates ever loyal, true and faithful, Gathering 'neath the maples on the hill. With courage, faith, undaunted for our future - As we older grow, we love thee, still. The Purple and the White shall wave forever, Keep this emblem ever clean and bright, Oh may the glorious folds be sullied never - Love for aye the Purple and the White. All hail to thee, our dear old Sharon, Open wide your portals to the right - Still o'er the field of conflict ever waving, Float for aye the Purple and the White. SHARON SPRINGS CENTRAL SCHOOL SHARON SPRINGS NEW YORK ALMA MATER DEDICATION We, the Class of 1961, dedicate this, the '61 Clarion, to our coach, Alex- ander Doig. Coach Doig has not only kept us physically fit through gym classes, but he has also shown us what good sportsmanship means. He has been an inspira- tion to us and has been an example for us to pattern ourselves after. We wish to show our appreciation and gratitude to Coach Doig by this dedication. ADMINISTRATION PRINCIPAL S MESSAGE It has become increasingly evident to our society that its most indispensable re- source is the educational capabilities of its youth. The future progress of our nation will be determined by the manner in which American youth develops this source of wealth, for we are no longer in competition with ourselves alone but with the entire universe. Even our superior performances are being challenged by other men and other nations. While our educational system is one vehicle whereby this intellectual re- source is developed, it becomes crystal clear that you and you alone can produce the maximum effort which is necessary to develop your own potential and thereby contrib- ute to the growth and development of our nation. The extent to which you develop these educational capabilities will establish not only the status of our country but also your status as a citizen. We congratulate our graduates on their initial achievement and sincerely hope that their achievements and accomplishments in the future will be a source of pride and satisfaction to parents, teachers, and friends.

Sally Herman is now teaching Drivers Training in the Sharon Springs Central School in a 1971 T-Bird. Judy Lowe is now secretary for the most handsome lawyer in Boston. Rayna Spraker is now the proprietor of the Mildred Elley School. The school is named after her now. Joyce Chichester has just won a contest for being serious. She failed to smile or laugh for fifty-four hours. Scott Lynk is still a gay, carefree bachelor who loves them and leaves them. Scott still spends a great many week-ends in the mountains. The scenery is attractive! Diane Hatalsky now owns the largest plantation in Argusville. Peter Zeller, after all these years, has finally opened the Argusville carnival. Linda Judd is living on an Air Force base in Hawaii. Edward Lynk is now playing on an All State basketball team. He has finally reached ten foul shots out of ten.

Joe Mallon is still leading on a bunch of love-struck girls, but he still won't agree to marry any of them. Tom Doolittle is the owner of the big resort town in the Catskills. He is giving Sharon Springs a big run. Richard Hazzard has just won first prize in a cattle-showing for having the best underfed cow. Pat Kennedy is now playing championship chess on a television program. So far he has defeated 2040 opponents. Sandra Tripp is now a singer in the Grand Opera She still can't reach a high E. Carol Meka, who always had a reputation for bein6 quiet, suddenly broke loose and has been driving everyone crazy with her constant chatter. Bonnie McMann is now a housewife. She still hasn’t learned how to make spaghetti like his mother did! Mary Ann Trafton's dreams have come true and she and Rodger are happily married. Danny Smullen is now a chemical engineer and is mixing up some brand new com- pounds. Lookout! Richard Zeller is now the owner of the Big Breezy Acre Farm. He still doesn't know how to milk a cow. Richard Roberts is now a mechanic in Roberts Repair Shop. He is still trying to figure out how to fix the motor in his Plymouth.
