VanCott, Supervisor of Junior High Schools, State Department of Education laid the corner stone of Sidney High School. This was the birth not only of a new building but also the start of bigger and better things for the students of the school. Extracurricular activities increased ten fold while readin', 'ritin', and 'rithmatic, vocational and defense classes were added. ln 1941 the need for centralization was realized and became an actuality. Sidney Central High School, a new name and with it new facilities-a more adequate cafeteria,, a larger playground equipped with tennis courts, new buses, a new grade school at Masonville, and a population increase of several hundred. Sidney school has come a long ways in the past, but greater steps are expected for the future. 1942 And Sidney Perhaps you will find this Reflector a bit unusual, but if you will stop to think about it, you will discover that it was edited Ill an unusual time, Here in Sidney one is even more conscious of the defense program than in the majority of other towns. The students at Sidney Central are practically supported by a great defense industryg the town of Sidney has grown and prospered because of it: local youth is planning to work in itg the school has set up defense classes. Thus with the constant cry of defense, defense ringing in our ears, we have built our yearbook around that theme-endeavoring to show what happens to normal school life and students in abnormal times. -Louise M.

Faculty To the faculty of Sidney Central School we wish to express our sincerest appreciation for their help not only in our studies but also in our extra-curricular activities. As Freshmen they helped us to become accustomed to our high school life. Later when we were sophomores, they spent their tireless efforts in collecting money from all sources for our Senior trip. The faculty supported our money making schemes when we were Juniors and worried with us about certification and what not during feel ourselves to the past year. As Graduates, we now see that as progressed we were slowly but su1'ely our own decisions-to think more for we will be totally independent of our and with all due gratitude to them we our school career allowed to make ourselves. Soon wise instructors, be capable of taking on the burden of responsible adult- hood-a burden increased ten-fold since that infamous date-December 7, 1941. 11 STATISTICS LANGUAGES MR. DONALD M.

Although in its infancy the Student Council is making and will continue to make a unique student government. The above statement is a warm blooded-one that would be given by any member of the Student Council but its activities from 1941-1942 surely justify its utterance. The aim of the Student Council this year was to organize and negotiate necessities, Ten committees were ap- pointed by the president, Stewart Brooks to look after all branches of School Activities. Particular mention is given here to The Athletic Committee for their splendid co-ope1'ation. Running close to the Athletic Committee is the Traffic Committee who successfully handled the bicycle situation. and the Student Committee who obtained privi- leges for Honor Roll students. The Student Council this year took over the Christmas Assembly, decoration of building and rooms, and taxation. Liberal prizes were given to the best decorated homeroom. The time pre- viously devoted to presents at the Christ- mas Assembly was given over to a Quiz and Talent Show. Prizes were donated by the students themselves through a taxation of 3.05. The students of the council lilled Uncle Sam's pocket with an extra 251,000 from defense stamps. PAUL ALLEN School Boy Patrol 4 Basketball 4 Baseball 4 This is your number-one-mystery-man.

Freshman 1940 - - Sophomore 1941 - Junior 1942 - .... - Senior As the curtain rises we find three old men and one of middle age sitting with their pipes, reminiscing. The first elderly gentleman, 1939, speaks. I remember, way back when I was young, the day my son, September, brought a lot of little kids home with him. He said he'd found 'em down by 8th Street pretty much bewildered. Well, I took 'em in, brought 'em up pretty good, as I recollect. I gave 'em some good times, too. Bet they'll never forget the day I took 'em to Albany. Yes sir, I showed 'em all around the State Capitol. It's jest possible they even learned something. As time went on I decided to send 'em over to visit you, Cousin '40. But before 1 let 'em go I gave 'em a swell farewell party. We called it Junior High Graduation. That kinda made a swell wind-up for the year. 1940- You know, Cousin '39, after you sent those kids over to mc, they started earning money. They claimed they were all going on a trip someplace, Washington I think, as soon as they had enough money. So I let 'em go to it, helped quite alot, too. We had skating parties, movie benefits and what not. They even started saving money out of their allowances. Then I let them do an unprecedent- ed thing. I told them they could have a class play. So they put on The Trysting Place. Quite a success, if I do say so. Then towards the end of the year, they wanted to go on a picnic, so l agreed. The kids really made Peckham's Reservior and surrounding territory ring. When fall came they wanted to visit their Uncle '41. So off they went. 1941- I guess they'll always re- member you two fellows, I sorta hope they will remember me too. The kids were getting older now. They needed a lot more money for their trip so they sold magazines, ice cream, and tickets of every description,-for movie benefits and for the Junior play, What a Life . I bought them all rings, too. Their we went on a picnic with the family next door-the Class of '41, At the end of the summer their roving spirits again awakened and they went to spend a vacation with you, '42. 1942- Well sir, since they almost had enough money for that trip of theirs, they worked hard all fall. Thcy had another magazine campaign and a Senior play, a good old fashioned mellow-drama . Because of the war the kids couldn't go to Washington. So at Easter time I took them on a trip to New York City. I showed 'em all the sights and you can bet everyone of 'em had a swell time. 'Tm planning a jubilee in June as a farewell party for one of the swellest bunches of kids that were ever turned out into the cold W01'ld from Sidney High School. Senior Play On November, 1941 the Senior Class of Sidney Central School brought to this stage a bit of the melodramatic days of yesteryear in the form of On the Bridge at Midnight, a play in three acts written by Bruce Brandon. The play brings before its audience the thrills, chills, and spills that awed audiences of the ninties -the same brave hero, the same persecuted heroine pursued by the same vicious villian. The cast that brought this spectac- ular production before the eyes of the public on that commendable day was as follows: Horatio Wainwright, our manly hero, Stewart Brooks, Mrs. Wainwright, his aristocratic mother, Dorothy Pesceg Eunice Wainwright, her sweet, innocent daughter, Lois Barratt, Minerva Courte- nay, an aged spinster, Grace Wakeman, Holstead, the Wainwright butler, Gerald Shank, Queenie DeLorme, our heroine, Dora Wuthrichg Gipsy Heather, her faithful friend, Norma Conrowg Mrs. Billingsley Billings, a society matron, Geraldine Shermang Maybelle Billings, her stammering daughter, Freda Sissong Dora Horne, in love with Horatio, Pauline Pesceg Mervyn Parsons, a deep- eyed villian, Robert Davisg Jack Frost, who possesses a Southern accent, James Bartz 3 Joe North, an unexpected arrival, Dick Crandallg extras-Norma Miner, Jean Topping, Hiram Simpson and Kirk Cross. If other classes can live up to the standard of the class of '42 has set, this town will have plenty of good entertain- ment. Last Will and Testament lt seems fitting and proper at this time to pay tribute to forty-nine individ- uals who have reached one of the most important milestones in their lives by some twelve years of intensive and com- prehensive study. From this institution they have drawn upon the resources of congenial cooperation, practical living experiences and scholarly attitudes which will undoubtedly shape and mold their choices of life, liberty and the pur- suit of happiness. To the on-coming graduates these men and women leave their seats of training, abilities and expectations to be equally glorified by you. To Mr. Barry many thanks for the good time on the Senior trip. To Miss Corona a successful second year, wherever she is. To Miss Kammerer the senior class wills the nickname Kodak. To Miss Ke1'belis full equipment for a home ice cream plant.

Our President has advised that professional sports be continued for just such reasons. And here's another angle. While sports help in the defense of our country, they help in building up the bodies and minds of boys and girls. Let us not forget our country, but let us not forget that we make up the country and that our condition is the condition of our country. On ensuing pages are accounts of what we, in Sidney Central. have been doing in the field of sports. Don't forget that while we Keep 'Em Flying we must also Keep 'Em Smiling. 40 LEFT T0 RIGHT Eddie Crawford Scrap Mazzarella Paul Cerquoz Bruce Payne Jack Northtrup With Varsity Basketball Hats off to the Sidney Central Cagers who, under the guiding hand of Coach Don Camp finished the season in second place in the Susquenango League. As this year's season was just nicely under way, tire rationing nearly cancel- led all the games. But, realizing the need of basketball as a moral booster, buses were allowed to take players to games out of town. Lead by the steady veteran, Scrap Mazzarella, and high scoring Eddie Crawford, the team created sensations never to be forgotten by the Student Body. We borrowed the following bright aspects of the basketball season from Coach Camp's report to the administra- tion, Eddie Crawford was the high scorer of the League. Attendance to home games totaled 3100 for the season. Sidney led all teams defensively for the season, holding opponents to a record-low of 221 points in 10 games. The lowest game score that Deposit, Afton, Bainbridge, Hancock and Har- pursville made in any League game during the entire season was in their contest against Sidney. ,lust tuki Sidney I Sidney 2 Sidney I Sidney 2 Sifillliy I3 Sidney 2345 Sidney 230 ' an look all these scores: Oxford XVulton Deposit Afton I Izlncoc li Bz1inln'idg'e XVQIHOII School Ileposii Sidney A fton I Izincoc k Ilninlwidpfe iI:1i'pni'sx'il lddn illXXiUl'1i Scrap M:1zz:n'ell:1 I'z1L1lL'ci'quo:c Bruci l':1ync 1 n ini No 1 Sidney 22 Sidney 26 Sidney 27 Sidney Zyl Sidney Z7 Sidney 315 Sidney 211 NVon 7 Lost 7 League Standings XYon Lost 9 3. 7 3 7 :z 4 fs fs 7 U 16 Hill'IJlll'SX'iii1x Deposit Afton Norwich Hancock B2liNiJl'idL1'0 Hzn'pui'sviIle fi ,SNAP .THU ,THU ,loo ,zoo ,WW The Maroon Midgets, coached by Chuck Owens, should not be neglected by any means.

The '41 season also saw a noticeable rise in the school spirit. Most talked of game was that in which Sidney triumphed over Bain- bridge. Popular enemy was Deposit, though we bowed to them in both games.

Girls' Sports This year, as never before, the girls seemed to have taken a real interest in sports. Miss Horey must be given much of the credit because it is she who made us realize the value of them. Last fall we played field hockey. which at times got rather rough but that's what we like. Then winter came, and with it, our favorite sport, basket- ball. The classes played against each other and the Seniors were victorious. We had occasion to play only one game with another town, Franklin, in which we were victorious. With the coming of spring we turned our minds toward softball, tennis and archery. In softball different classes played each other. We had good turn outs from every class in archery. Tennis too, is to be up and coming sport with the addition of three tennis courts on the new playground and several new racquets belonging to the department. Tuesday bowling groups and tumbling group have been successful. I'm sure all the girls agree with me when I say we had fun and we learned much in the way of co-operation, sports- manship, fundamentals, leadership and physical fitness, which is going to be of value to us throughout life. Keep Them Yelling XVe've got pep, we've got a yell, thatfs their theme song. VVow, and have they get it! Vaptained by Dora VVuthrieh this year, the girls were otf to a flying start during the football season. From a skating party benelit, they were able to buy material and make skirts for themselves. While several boys tried out, only Heidi Simpson remained on the squad for any length of time. The new Veitory cheer became popular and new additions and re- visions of old cheers kept things l99l3l9y. Their slogan- Keep 'Em Yelling'.

NEW HIGH L Leatrice Kenyon Robert McElligott Janice Secreft Inez Suttle Henrietta Davis Norma Cooper James Bartz Virginia Chase Jean McClelland Zana Olmstead This year's Glee Club is larger than any Sidney Central School has ever had before. The girls are divided into two groups: the Senior High-grades, nine through twelve, and the Junior High- grades seven and eight. A boy's Glee Club has also been o1'ganized. Some- thing new is a special voice class of nine girls divided into three parts. The Junior High Glee Club present- ed an assembly on Indian and frontier life. The Senior department gave a Christmas program which was highly commended. This spring the high school glee clubs presented An Old Spanish Cus- tom , the first operetta in many years Inez Suttle Bob and Betty Davis put on by the high school students. The leading man and his lady were Richard Welchei' and Grace Wakeman. Support- ing roles were played by Virginia Chase, Jean McClelland, Geraldine Sherman, Inez Suttle, James Bartz, Martin Cooper, Dick Crandall and Robert McElligott. In the operetta two iiestas were held and many specialties including an accordian solo and Spanish, Chinese, Irish and waltz dances. Being the big musical production of the year it took the place of the music festival which was not held this year because of the use of bus tires that would be involved. The Glee Clubs are finishing off their well-rounded season by singing at Baccalaureate and Commencement. HIGHLIGHTS OF THE BI PHI CHI SNOVVBALL II B FIRST ROW-Mr. P. M.

We quickly organized in the lirst two weeks of school electing as our ollicers: President--Virginia Chase, Vice President-James Bartz, Secretary- lrma Suttle, Treasurer-Grace Egli. Our membership exceeds sixty, including baud and all divisions. M1'. Furman appointed Bob Peck and Bruce Payne as first and second band instructors or leaders in case Mr. Furman could not be with us. VVe started otf with tirst prize of 2525.00 at the big 4th of July celebration at llnadilla, competing with many of the surrounding school bands. Then, Labor Day we played host to bands of neigh- boring schools. This was also on a com- petitive basis, sponsored by the iiremen. We had a cool time at some ol' the football games, but we warmed up the spirit of the crowds. By this time, we had enough practice to help dedicate Sherwood Heights. This was a beginning for us in National Defense work. After Christmas vacation we came back to school to prepare to play for the last basketball game, because of all the shortages. lt lLLll'll9d out to be the only game we played for, but basketball games were continued with some limit- ations. Due to Mr. Furman's extensive Defense work, we discontinued our band rehearsals indefinitely. Even with our extensive Defense Program we sponsored the Colgate Band on March 27, 1942. The receipts helped us to tinish paying for our uniforms. We're looking forward to playing and marching on Decoration Day. The drum corps and majorettes have been working right along in the same performances with the band. The one exclusive thing we did was to come out with the Seintilla Band at their first concert.

Sidney High's monthly paper was judged superior . And now with that step bridged, the staff is looking forward to new and higher goals. They know that next year's staff will carry on the work already started. The Convention delegates we1'e: William Edson, Louise Greenman, Geo.

The greatest effect of the National Defense Program on Sidney Central High School was seen by the organiza- tion of the Senior Defense School under the direction of Mr. Floyd Simerson. The school has for its purpose furnishing skilled workers for Uncle Sam. Only a general knowledge is assured but it pro- vides a very good background for future machine work. The course consists of Shop Theory and Practice. Shop practice is graded by each project while the theory is graded in the fashion. The students final mark is an average of the two. Members of the class are: Paul Allen James Bartz Norma Conrow Jack Crawford Edward Dingman Leona Howe Stuart Howe Ruth Libby Milton Maxson Louis Mazzarella Jean McClelland Bernard McGinnis Phillip Morse Robert Morse Jack Northrup Robert Peck Dorothy Pesce Pauline Pesce Gerald Shank Richard Sloane Marvin Stoutenberg Model Airplane Club The Sidney Model Airplane Club is now in its fifth year of existance still under the faithful direction of Mr. Zam- ory. The oilicers for 1942 are: President, Gaston lslikerg Vice President, James Hallg and Secreta1'y-Treasurer, Fred Hanni. The high point winner for this year is Gaston lsliker who was awardad the T. Z. Fagan Trophy for one year The runner-ups were Gerald Williams and Walter Goodrich, second and third respectively. The Second Father and Son Aviation Banquet was held with over one hundred attending, The profits from this banquet were used in purchasing hfteen aviation books for any students interested in aviation. Seienee The Science Club of Sidney High has really gotten under way this year. The Club was started early in the school year with the following officers: President ............. Dorothy Pesce Vice President -- --- Stewart Brooks Secretary .... .... L ois Barratt Treasurer .............. Heinz Engel With the adoption of the Bi Phi Chi as a club name the members proceeded to raise money by a Snow Ball Dance The major project of this year is building to scale model tighting planes for the United States Navy. There have been Model Airplane Clubs organized in the dsitrict schools with the work being carried on during activity periods. The Junior Aeronautics for boys have organized a very active club in the fourth, fifth and sixth grades. After successful membership in this club they are eligible to become members of the Sidney Model Airplane Club. They have about twenty-five members. The officers are: President, Donald Baker: Vice- President, Kenneth MacDonaldg Sec- retary-Treasurer, George Babcock: and Shop Foreman, Thomas Grant. Club which ranked among the best. Money received from the dance and membership dues were put into the treasury for either a trip to New York or the Science Congress. Science is an outstanding factor in National Defense and its development to a great degree depends upon the interest displayed by the youth organ- izations like the Bi Phi Chi. Next year the club will have a good foundation upon which to organize. Dramatics Club During 1941-1942 the Dramatics Club had its most active and successful season. The first undertaking was a one- act play for the League Festival. We tried something different, an old-fashion- ed melodrama entitled He Ain't Done Right By Nell . The next productions were both one-act plays put on in assembly. The first was The Jeweled Hand -a mys- tery and the next was Thursday At Home -a very humorous play. After these were over with and most of the members of the club had some acting experience, we started planning for the Second Annual Dramatics Revue. The plays for the Revue were The Red Lamp , Lunch in the Suburbs , and Kiss the Star . All the members of the Dramatics Club were in one of these plays. Between plays specialties were presented. The outstanding being a swing band made up of members of the club. The proceeds of this and last year's Dramatic Revue total well over a hun- dred dollars. With this money we are planning to get a new set of back drapes and other much-needed stage equipment. With the blare of New Year's horns, the roll of drums, secret rooms, the mysterious opening of doors, explosions, ghosts, midnight visitors and uproarious comedy, the Juniors presented Mi'd- night , a very humorous mystery. Members of the class in the play were: Alice Asplund, Bruce Payne, Louise Hediger, Edward Crawford, Irma Suttle, Carl Osterwald, Jack Deuel, Frances Grant, Heinz Engel, Lucille Spengler, Virginia Walker, Grace Egli, and Glen Eckert. Prize Speaking The annual prize speaking contest was well attended this year. We had a group of ten, six girls and four boys. They were: Norma Conrow, Dorothy Pesce, Lucille Spengler, Grace Wake- man, Lois Barratt, Irma Suttle, Martin Cooper, Heinz Engel, Jack Deuel, and Orrie Stevens. We had an exceptionally talented group as was revealed in the afternoon eliminations, which were diflicult, to judge. The final night came, final because the National Defense Program canceled any further contests. First places of three dollars each were taken by Lucille Spengler and Heinz Engel. Second places of two dollars each went to Lois Barratt and Orrie Stevens. 4-H Club Walter Johnson, who has been the leader of the 4-H Club during the past two years, has resigned but the boys work on. They have an enrollment of approximately 12. The boys choose their work f1'o1n poultry, forestry, animal husbandry, and gardening. The latter was the pre- dominating choice. Trips to the State Fair and the National Dairy Show were the highlights of the year. Due to an extensive Defense Pro- gram a wider variety of gardening has been put into effect. From each project seeds are being collected and sent to England for the first time this winter. With an increasing attendance a11d the willingness of everyone to do his bit in our National Defense Program we'll leave the '21-H'ers to forthcoming prosperous years.
