Now it interprets our school life for Mom and Pop and everyone in Shortsville so that a better understanding can exist between the school and the community. Our sports and other extracurricular activities have been clearly dealt with. In this way, the social side of our school is exhibited. ' Through photographs of our actual class scenes and activites, this year- book intends to present a true picture of the scholastic life of our school. Here you can see Miss Shortall reading to the Kinder- garten, an experiment we had in Chemistry, and even some of our assembly programs. This phase of the school pro- gram has previously been almost entirely left out in our school annuals. By pointing out our re- lationships with various school subjects and teachers, perhaps we can show the townspeople new and better as- pects of our educational system. These are the aims of the 1948 Hi-Lo. Its task shall be completed t if, after looking the yearbook over, the reader realizes the extent of the school program and comprehends its pur- pose. 5 - With Our Musical Past in View, We are Building Toward the Future ' For thirteen years there have been musical organizations at SHS. We have gathered together information concerning the growth of musical or- ganizations through these thirteen years and thus music, an art which has always been greatly extolled and encouraged at SHS, is the theme of our 1948 HI-LO. In 1934, the first musical ensemble ever introduced at SHS was organiz- ed by Mr. Hugh Vanderhoof, then our principal. The orchestra, as it was called, consisted of four trumpets, four violins, one saxophone, one clarinet and a piano. Compared to the sixty-four piece band we have today, that first little group seems rather insignificant, but the size of that orchestra was secondary in importance. The primary fact was what it signified, the birth of a permanent and worthwhile music department which would bring enjoyment to students and glory to the school. A regular music teacher was hired for the first time in 1935. Miss Helen Higgins took over the orchestra, which then played at assemblies and plays given by the Dramatic Club. In January of that same year Miss Higgins left us, being offered a better position elsewhere. Soon after- wards Miss Clara Johnson took over direction of the orchestra. Bet you language students didn't know your venerable teacher had so many irons in the fire. Shortsville High School emerged last October with a tremendous new organization, the only one of its kind in the history of the school. This is quoted from the 1936 yearbook and lauds the newly-formed band. The band was ushered into existence under the direction of Miss Ruth Taplin, an untiring and able woman who deserves a great deal of credit for the band she molded and fashioned. That spring Miss Taplin took her or- ganization to Phelps and entered them in a contest of bands held there. Lo and behold, they came off with an encouraging rating, mind you, not too great nor too small, just large enough to give the band a terrific boost. Miss Taplin remained with us until 1937 when .... Mr. Emory McKerr took over the position of music instructor. Under Mr. McKerr the band really expanded and attained a status quo in its class throughout this area. The orchestra disappeared entirely in 1938, due to the fact that so small a school could hardly support and instruct both a good band and orchestra. Also in 1938, the band room was born, or rather it was carved out of the attic. There three times a week for ten years band members have faithfully shivered, sweated, and as a result of arduous practice produced good music. ln 1941 the mixed chorus made its debut in SHS society. Previous to the forming of the mixed chorus, a small glee club of girls composed the entire vocal scale in SHS. Though the chorus competed in no contests during its first two years of existence, it later entered contests and festi- vals, emerging With high ratings and worthwhile honors. Those years through 1938 and 1941 were glorious ones for our band when national contests were still being held. In 1939 the band, traveling A 6 on the Black Diamond, journeyed forth from the Manchester yards to compete in the National Regional Contests held in New York City. Com- pete they did to win the highest honor rating in their class. Funds for this trip were raised in record time by the townspeople, while the band learned all the required numbers in merely eight days. Then in 1941, after two years of hard work, the band entered the National Contest at Atlantic City and received a one rating, still upholding and glorifying their previous record of national championship recognition. Our band was the only class C band to be awarded this rating. Mr. Edward G. Timbrell, our present music director, came to us in 1942, enriching our music department and school alike. Through his efforts the aim of our music department has been and is to bring music to more students, create an appreciation of music in our school and finally to pro- duce music in the true sense of the word. Since the war, national contests have been suspended definitely. So our present band and chorus have had to be content with festivals and local concerts. It was a big day for the band in 1944 when we played that concert at Monroe High. Though at first we Shortsvillans were a bit doubtful as to how our music would be received, the ovation we rose to dispelled any and all doubts as to the success of the concert. This same year the band participated in the Rushville Music Festival, earning a I rating. The following year, 1945, the band and chorus again journeyed to Rushville, this time obtaining a II rating. Always said that judge had a mean face! Nineteen forty-six was a busy year, with the Palmyra Fair, Rushville, and Port Byron on our musical calendar. At the Palmyra Fair we took second prize. At both Rushville and Port Byron we carried home a I rat- ing, proud as all get out. Until 1947 our band had played mostly grade three music, but now it plays and plays well grade four music, which is usually reserved for a much larger school than ours. Many out-of-town concerts were played this year at Phelps, York, Oswego, Rushville and Manchester. In the aforementioned Rushville Festival, our good old band toppled over all competition and carried home the only one rating. The chorus, though not as illustrious as the band, has just as many potentialities. In 1943 the membership of the chorus totaled thirty mem- bers. As the enrollment increased, so the quality of the music improv- ed. It has today developed into a harmonious, well-trained group of eighty-one members. In 1943 the chorus presented its first solo perform- ance. Since then the chorus has taken part in several music fectivals and state finals, winning a I rating at Rushville, Oswego and Port Byron. Music is all of Heaven that we have on earth. Not that our music is exactly heaven but all music well played and appreciated holds a true beauty for those concerned in making the music or those listening to it. Here in our school, through the efforts of conscientious teachers and students, music has come to play an important part in our life. Some of us will go on in music, taking to college the fruits of our labor here in high school. Still others, though We never intend to be musicians, will always have the satisfaction of the accomplishments we have achieved or have helped to achieve in band and chorus. Music is not for a special talented few but for millions. Music moves people from every walk of life to laugh, cry, sigh, reminisce, and dream. True, not every person likes the same type of music, but there is music for every individual, classical, semi-classical, popular, jazz, folk songs, ballads, hill-billy songs, and opera. We are fortunate to be able to have such a progressive musical depart- ment, for here we are given training and experience that will enrich our lives and give us the incentive to work for what we want, being shown that long hard work always has its reward. 7 We Dedicate This Book to Mr. and Mrs. Edward Timbrell Probably two of the best-known figures in Shortsville are Mr. and Mrs. Edward Timbrell. Mrs. Timbrell came to us two years ago after her marriage in August, 1944. Since that time, she has been our class advisor and has added her own personal drive to every class undertaking. Last year, for the first time in our high school's history, the Hi-Lo made a profit. The senior plays of both years have gone over with a bang , and journeys to outside plays have not only been encouraged by her, but planned for the class. In 1942, Edward Timbrell explained to an intelligent seventh grade that his name was Timbrell, not Trimbrell. Since that time we have come to recognize that our school is very fortunate in having such an excellent music instructor as Mr. Trimbrell, er-r-r Timbrell. Since Mr. Timbrel1's coming, a band of sixty-five and a chorus of eighty, both under his expert direction, have been Shortsville High School's bid for fame. Trips to participate in music festivals and contests and to hear profes- sional musicians have been arranged by the student body's avid music lover. We, the Seniors, dedicate this book of which they are so much a part, to Mr. and Mrs. Timbrell and humbly thank them for their kind and faith- ful guidance 8 M I Y A - 9 5 1 ll A IIS!

Has anyone seen tive harassed-looking men about town? It so, it is not difficult to recognize them as members ot the Shortsville Board of Ed- ucation. Every two weeks these men meet to pay our hills. Not only must they try to meet the school's requirements, but they must also stay Within their budget. They have worked hard, with little credit, no pay, and many com- plaints, and only now, as Seniors do, we finally realize what they have done and are doing for us. This year they have met once a month with the Clifton Springs and Manchester Boards to discuss the matter ot centralization. They have even traveled to Albany to dicuss their plans with the State Education Department. We take our hats off to the school board that symbolizes arduous work with many headaches. 12 S. Our Principal . . Mr. Spitzer has an understanding Way of guiding . . . a way that comes from knowing young people by being one of them. Through his efforts the Student Council has become an influential student organization and a cross section of local constructive thought. He has also aided each stu- dent as an individual in deciding that all-important question, What shall I do after graduation? 13 Our Grade School Faculty 14 MISS YOLANDA IZZO : Art Then you paste the crown onto the brim.

For two years we have had the privilege of claiming as our advisors Mrs. Timbrell and Mr. O'Neil. Thanks to them, the finances for our class trip were raised. To raise this money we lwith the aid of our ad visorsl carried through successfully a magazine cam- paign, nite club, raitle and bake sales. ' Besides her other duties, Mrs. Timbrell has devoted many weeks striving to turn out a successful senior play and Hi-Lo. I might say both have proved success- ful. Thank you, Mrs. Tiimbrell and you Coachn We the seniors apppreciate and laud all you have done for us.

Junior Class . . The Class of '49 started their Junior year by electing Gayle Walborn as president. At the first class meeting it was descovered the class had lost four of its members. With the 17 remaining members the class began drafting plans for the big social event of the season, the Junior Prom, which was held on November 26. The gym was decorated in pink and blue, with music and roses being the theme, and all our guests had a wonderful evening dancing to the music of Cianioni's orchestra. In November, our Social Studies class journeyed to Mormon Hill. We enjoyed a short talk about Mormonism by Mr. Stott. Thanks should be extended to Miss Valenza and Mr. Harkenrider for Working with the class as advisors. Throughout the year, the class sponsored many round and square dances which seemed to be a big hit with all the students. 26 Sophomore Class . . The Sophomore Class of 1948 has had a very successful year. The class began by electing officers and advisors. These are as follows: Pres- ident, Dorothy Verhoevenf Vice-president, Dawn Schlechtf Secretary, Nancy Capronf Treasurer, Alice Peters. Miss Izzo and Mr. Clarence Spitzer were elected advisors. The class successfully sponsored a round-and-square dance on April 31. The students have been very interested in traveling to Radio City after their older brothers and sisters took that trip. 0 THIRD ROW: David Owens, Robert Johnson, Jack O'Neil, Patricia Hudson, Joan Overacre, Dawn Schlecht, Mary Newman, Martin Crowley, Donald Jessup. 0 SECOND ROW: Spltzer, Eugene Allen, Dorothy Verhoeven, Winifred Fitz- patrick, Ethel DeVr1es, William Bolan, Catherine Tierney. 0 LIRST ROW: Rosemary Gallahan, Barbara Walker, Nancy Capron.

Freshman Class . . The year started with the usual hustle and bustle of green horns trying to become less green. Everyone was vigorous those first few weeks and then the Freshmen settled into the regular routine. Everyone went home with armloads of homework. At the beginning of the year, the class elected officers and selected its advisors, Miss Mary Arnold and Mr. Edward Timbrell. Our President is Glen Herendeen, Vice-president, Stuart Whittaker, secretary, Joe Mcln- tyre, and Treasurer, .lim Romeiser. The class also boasts of representatives in the Student Council, Glen Herendeen and Pat Hogan. The Freshmen Class is well represented in the band and the chorus, where all have worked hard. Other students are members of the Library Club, Dial Staff, Basketball team, Baseball team, and Hi-Lo Staff. Our March meeting proved to be most important. At that particular meeting the class planned a dance with games and refreshments. The dance was a novelty for the class and everyone did his share to make it fun for all. 28 EIGHTH GRADE . . 0 FIRST ROW: Raymond White, Glen Johnson, William Flynn, Robert Broom- field, Clarence Tierney, William Van-- Heipe. 0 SECOND ROW: Mrs Clark, Barbara Dawson.

The students have every right to be proud of it, for every member has done his best to make the band better than ever before and the re- sults of this year have shown how successful these efforts have been. During the year the band presented two public concerts. Among the pieces played were Deep Purple, Folk Song Suite, The Student Prince, and Little Joe, the Wrangler. In February the band had the privilege of playing over Station WGVA in one of a series of concerts by local bands. Also two soloists played over the same station. The Rushville Music Festival in April provided another opportunity for the band to display its ability. This was the highlight of the year because it gave a chance for the band to complete with other bands. This year the band bought maroon sweaters with white trimming for every band member. The sweaters have an emblem designed especially for the SHS Band by Jack O'Neill. Now the band looks almost as good as it plays. Through work and co-operation, Mr. Timbrell and the band have com- pleted another year with honor and success. PROGRAM: BAND . . SHORTSVILLE DATE: Thursday, February 26, 1948 TIME: 4:05 P. M.

The S. H. S. Chorus . . Once again Mr. Timbrell, our chorus director, has enlarged the chorus with the belief that quantity and quality can go together successfully. Many students from the seventh and eighth grades have joined our ranks and surprised several of the veterans by their talent and ability. ln February, the chorus performed in a concert in which the band also participated. Six numbers were sung . . some of these are: Go Down Moses, The Time is Now and All in the April Evening. Many chorus members sang in the chorus of the minstrel presented by the pupils of Shortsville High. This event provided much useful ex- perience for them all. The Shortsville High School Chorus sang over Station WGVA, Geneva, in April in one of a series of programs featuring local choruses. Also, in April, the chorus took part in the Rushville Music Festival. This year has indeed been a successful one for the chorus and has proved itself capable of even greater accomplishments. It may be safely said that Mr. Timbrell's time and efforts were not in vain. 36 The Junior Band . . Most of us older pupils remember the days when we were in the Junior Band . . . how we used to hate to stay after school to practice and yet liow proud and frightened we were playing our first concert. Today the Junior Band has grown larger in size and many of its mem- bers are also in the Senior Band. U During this school year the band has played one concert but it has practiced regularly. Some of the pieces that the Junior Band plays are Bolero Non, Lead On, Trumpeter's March, Here We Go, Plantation Overture and Project, 0 REAR ROW: Glen Herendeen.

Pepping up our assemblies with such marches as Our Director, from the first day of school until the final curtain on class night, the Spotlight- ers have served the school with much entertainment for our many as- semblies. Made up of a team of students, most of whom occupy first chair in the Senior Band, the band includes such pupils as Harry James Record lwho always shows up for his solos with some of his body broken, sprained or swollenl, and Dorsey Gersbach fwho with that tall frame and all that hot air ought to be able to play that trombonel. Of course, we wouldn't have a band without Benny Goodman Farnsworth, that in- credulous character who starts a few notes and then looks surprised be- cause of the sound that comes out. Then we have Gene Krupa DeFlyer, who is some day going to break those drum sticks while pounding that drum so hard. Naturally, we can't leave our Dorothy Verhoeven, who trills a few notes and then rushes to get the seat next to David Owens after the band has finished playing. In addition to those we have told you so explicitly about, the Spotlighters include many other jivemakers. The thing that the band is most noted for is the fact that its members leave their class a few minutes early, which the teachers just love, and wake up the dozing pupils in the study hall, with all their clatter and clash of getting their instruments and stands downstairs. ln spite of everything, the Spotlight Band seems to be appreciated by all and we wish the members and their director the best of luck. 38 Library Club . . One of Shortsville High School's most useful organizations is the Li- brary Club. Each of the club's members devotes one period a week to work in the library. Their duties might include stacking, checking, plac- ing, or repairing books. Some of the members have conducted classes of the lower grades which have from one to two periods a week in the library selecting books. The club has sponsored two parties during the year, one at Christmas and one on Valentine's day. Both these parties were successful, with fun and amusement for all. The officers of the Library Club are as follows: President, Barbara Sleight, vice-president and social chairman, Winifred Fitzpatrick, secre- tary, Elaine Schrader. 0 STANDING: Wilma Simmons, Patricia Hogan, Jane McCarthy, Elna McCarthy, Ellen Meehan, Margaret Whittaker, Barbara Clark, Lucille Seamans, Phyllis Sleight. 0 SITTING: Marie VanNorman, Elaine Schrader, Miss Shortall, Winifred Fitzpatrick, Barbara Sleight. 39 1 The Dial Staff . . To the querry When does the Dial come out? our estimab'e Editor, Mick Dawson, replies, Whenever the news is in! The biggest head- ache in publishing our school newspaper is collecting news every two weeks from reporters and feature writers who seem to disappear when the deadline is declared for the news to be in. Once the news is gather- ed, the typists go to work helter-Skelter, finishing dummies to be run off during seventh period on the mirneograph. Amid all this confusion, Miss Valenza, our Dial advisor, is rewriting articles, checking dummies and stapling Dials together. To Miss Valenzo belongs a great deal of the credit the Dial has merited. For without her guidance and perseverence, there would be no school newspaper hitting the stands twice a month. 0 BACK ROW: Phyllis Farnsworth, Kenneth Johnson, Edward DeFlyer, Gayle Wal- born, John Felton, Mary Newman, Dolores Carney. 0 SECOND ROW: Nancy Capron, Mary Jane Maqk, Rena Belle Herman, Ethel DeVries, Elaine Schrader, Barbara Potter, Shirley Ellis, Marjorie Dawn Bolan, Dolores Raeman, Florence Whittaker, Margaret Vlfhittaker, Bette Bartholomew. 0 FRONT ROW: Barbara Sleight, Mary Esther Ruggles, Martin Dawson, Hazel Baker, Diane VanOrman, Ellen Meehan. 40 0 STANDING: Elaine Schrader, Rena Herman, Paula Polco, Mary Jane Mack, Rose Marie Remery, Marie VanNorman, Martin VanNorman, Barbara Sleight, Grace Pratt, Hazel Baker, Edward DeFlyer, Florence Whittaker, John Felton, Margaret Whittaker, Ellen Meehan, Bette Bartholomew, Dorothy DeVries. 0 SEATED: Dorothy Verhoeven, Mrs Timbrell, Earl Rodney, Martin Dawson, Helen Abel, Diane VanOrman, Marjorie Bolan. The Hi-Lo Staff . . To help Shortsville students remember the events of this school year, the classmates and teachers, the Hi-Lo has been produced by the ef- forts of the Hi-Lo Staff. At the head of this hard-working group was Marjorie Dawn Bolan, the Editor-in-chief. Her willing assistants were Diane VanOrman and Helen Abel. Martin Dawson slaved long and hard as Business Manager and his secretary, Hazel Baker, more than proved her ability and value to the staff. The musical side of our school was expertly written up by Dorothy DeVries, and the sports by Dick Record. Rena Herman and Bette Bartholomew used their talent and originality on the art work of the Hi-Lo. Especially appreciated was the work of John Felton, head of the Photography department. Vitally important were the typists and high school representatives, for without their contributions this year's annual could not have been pub- lished. We students have enjoyed every minute of the work on the 1947-48 'Hi-Lo and deeply appreciate the able guidance of our faculty advisor, Mrs. Timbrell, who gave so much time and knowledge for its success. 41 2 1 n 42 u DEAR RUTH On April 30, the Senior Class presented Dear Ruth with the following cast of characters: Dora ..................................,.........., Mrs. Edith Wilkins ..,..,......

I FIRST ROW: Mr Spitzer, Mary Arnold, June Bullock, John Gersbach. The Student Council. . Just one year ago the rebirth of the Student Senate took place. Our 'present Student Senate has been functioning smoothly ever since its recent inauguration. The purpose of the Student Senate is to maintain order, sponsor or aid student activities, settle disputes of students and primarily to give the students a voice in school government. Each of the four high school classes has two representatives in the council and the Seventh and Eighth Grades each have one representative. The four officers of this year's council are: President, John Gersbach, vice-president, Gayle Walborn, secretary, June Bullock, treasurer, Pa- tricia Hogan. Miss Mary Arnold and Mr. Richard Spitzer are the advisors. The first attempt at sponsoring and planning anything of major im- portance was a success. In the early part of the year the council held a Harvest Festival, from which they cleared a nice profit, besides providing excellent entertainment for a large crowd. Then fire destroyed the home of two of Shortsville High School's pupils. The Student Senate organized committees to solicit money, food and clothing from people in the community to be presented to the family. At Christmas the council planned and presented the annual Christmas party. Entertainment was provided, refreshments served, and a Vic dance held following the party. One of the latest projects of the senate is the sending of a CARE pack- age each month to children in Europe. All in all, the Student Senate has proved itself a very useful and nec- essary part of Shortsville High School. 44 AUTOGRAPHS ' U m n 9 nun H1 v Q fl ' el a n f- N.

But, about the most exciting and best played was the one between Gorham and Shorts- ville, at Gorham. At the end of the first quarter the score stood 17-12 for Shortsville and at the half 29-30, with Gorham in the lead. In the third period both teams scored 15 points, making it 45-44 for Gorham at the quarter. In the final quarter Shortsville outscored Gorham ll-8, Gersbach dropping in a basket with less than a minute of playing time left, so the final score was 55-53 in favor of Shorts- ville. 0 TOP TO BOTTOM: David Owens, James Romeiser, William Bolan, William Schwartz, Howard Washburn Joseph Molntyre, Martin VanNorman, Richard Whittaker, Warren W'll' Meehan, Donald Weitzel, Lewis Proper, Thomas McNamara, Stuart Whittaker, 1 iam Jessup, Glen Herendeen, Clair Aldrich, Carl Herendeen.

For the past three years, each fall the students have seen some of the high school boys group themselves on the athletic field behind the school for football practice. Last fall a team was organized, under the able direction of Coach Harold O'Neil, and this team journeyed to Clif- ton Springs and Victor. These were the only two games played and our boys lost both of them, but they had a good time playing. Shortsville's usual line-up was . . .

Y. I'I'S HALLMAN BEACON SERVICE, SIR! ' When the Beacon Milling Company, Inc., was started in 1920, it es- tablished a precedent in feeding service. Instead of following the pre- vailing practice of making poultry and livestock feeds primarily as an outlet for specific by-products, Beacon formulated its feeds to meet the requirements of poultry and livestock to be fed. Beacon's conception of feeding service, then and now, calls for the unrestricted use of ingred- ients in its formulas according to their proven feeding value, and for the production of the best possible rations that science, experience and mod- ern equipment can make. - ' To complete this feeding service, specially trained Beacon service men give up-to-date, practical aid to the farmers using the feeds. Back of this corps of service men are the Beacon Poultry Research Farm and the Beacon Dairy Research Farm, which are constantly alert to develop pro- gressive steps in feeding and management.
