The Silver Creek Central School, like the community, is continually changing and growing. In this record of changes, we can note briefly some of the highlights in the development of our school system. It began in 1823, when Chalon Burgess, the first male child born in this community, attended class in a one-room building located on Upper Main Street. Through the years, the site changed, stoves replaced open Hreplacesg and debates, composition, and eloquent declamation were added to the early course in English grammar. Eventually the curriculum was expanded to include all the elementary grades, but students seeking further education had to attend boarding school. Soon high school courses were addedg the awesome Regents Examinations were introduced about 1874. We can glimpse, through written records and then and nowu pictures, some of the changes that the years have brought. The administration of our present system requires the full time of two principals and a supervising principal, in the beginning, there was only one teacher. Classes have so increased in size that 1960's seventy-six seniors compose the largest class ever to graduate from Silver Creek. In olden days, schools were concerned only with formal teaching of traditional subjects. Today we have, besides an enlarged course of study, many extra-curricular activities which offer enjoyment and democratic co-operation, along with learning. Likewise, the athletic program now provides a wide variety of sports, something for everyone. Old pictures show vividly how the community has changed and developed, along with the school system. Horses, wagons, and streetcars have disappeared from the streets of our village. In 1956 the citizens voted to streamline our education by forming a central school district, so as to equalize and increase opportunities for all children in the area. We, the Class of 1960, have seen this and many other innova- tions during our years at Silver Creek. Now it seems fitting that we should try to record a few of these changes in our yearbook, before we step out into the ever- evolving world of tomorrow. 2 1 X ,Q til V XWXXX t ADMINISTRATWN Mr. Warren C.

W'ith more pupils, more regulations, and more services, administrative responsi- bilities have increased by leaps and bounds. No longer is it possible for the principal to teach a class, supervise a study hall, or even get to know every pupil well. During the past fifty years we have added bus fleets, cafeterias, building programs, insur- ance, taxation, and financing with much accompanying paper Work. Fifty years have seen tremendous strides in the Way we liveg the administration must guide curriculum changes in light of this progress. In education, as in all our living, we have left the horse and buggy era and been catapulted into the jet age. 4 is iff-f 5, - ' . rg., sf-gNSg.7..s e 7' s.. i. nw 1 sf' in Q ass Mr. Elmer Langer, H.

One of the greatest factors in these alterations has been trans- portation. Great progress has been made since the first car in Silver Creek was bought as a costly toy, in 1901. A few decades after the advent of the auto in our community, the street car, bringing still more advantages, made its appearance in Silver Creek. Today our important highways carry a heavy flow of trucks, buses, and automobiles, and school buses transport, rural students to our Central school. Also altered is our dependence upon Lake Erie. When the community was founded, the primary function of the lake was to facilitate travel and commerce. Now the lake provides ex- cellent recreation for the villagers and summer visitors but is seldom regarded as a means of transportation. Education has also changed. Aside from changes in the curric- ulum, there have been many additions. Such programs as sports, cheerleading, Honor Society, and Tri-Hi-Y have been created. Another attraction of recent years is the Adult Education pro- gram, Of course, a part of the progress in education has been its growing work in the community. Fifty years ago the school was a place for the children to learn reading, writing, and arith- metic. Today the school is an active part of the community life in many other ways as Well. Yet, in the midst of all these changes, one thing has remained constant-our indomitable public spirit. In the early days it was this spirit which caused the settlers to clear the land. It is this spirit which has caused our continued growth. Then and ow One example of Silver Creekis community co-operation is our Foreign Student Program. Through the combined efforts of pu- pils, parents, teachers, and businessmen, we have again received a foreign student in Silver Creek. This year the people of the village have gone a step farther and have raised enough money to send one of our students abroad. As a result of this effort, a boy or girl from the present Junior Class will represent our com- munity in a foreign land during the summer of 1960. Community spirit has also helped to build our new Junior- Senior High School. It is expected that this building will be complete enough to be used for the commencement exercises this June. Pride in our educational system, as well as concern for their children,s Welfare, attracted even more parents than last year to our annual Parents' Night. Here the parents talked with teachers and examined samples of the students, work. Still another result of community spirit this year will be the breaking of ground for a new public library, as soon as a suit- able site is found. In addition to building the library, plans have been made to dedicate a room in the library as a memorial to the memory of the late Daniel Recd, who served this area for many years as a representative in Congress, and Howard fB0bD Ehmke, a Silver Creek graduate who won fame in the field of big-league baseball. A Reed-Ehmke lWemorial dinner was held to raise the money to build this room. Our community spirit has not only remained steadfast through the years, but it has also been responsible for many of the changes which have taken place. ur urriculum Through the years Silver Creek has seen many changes and additions in its high school curriculum. In the early part of the century, the primary purpose of a high school education was preparation for college. As a result of this, many students who couldnit afford higher education dropped out of school. Very small graduating classes were the rule. Today our curriculum is far more comprehensive. Included are courses aimed at the student who is not planning to attend college. A few of these courses are health, shop, homernaking, and psychology for living. Of course, the future college students have not been neglected. For them, extra courses in mathematics, science, language and electronics supplement the required courses in English and citizenship education. Another advance- ment has been the inclusion of laboratory work with the regular science programs. It is especially important that a chemistry or physics student have not only the theoretical knowledge but also the practical know howf, Today, instruction in music and art can lead to a career for especially talented students and add to the enjoyment of life for the rest. Another facet of Silver Creek's curriculum is its fine Business Department, which has been enlarged through the years to include secretarial practice, business law, book- keeping and other subjects. The business courses have a dual purpose-to train students for employment and to give future college students a business background. In brief, the purpose of our curriculum is to offer something to everyone, whether preparing for college, a job, or a life of homemaking. Although the educational structure of Silver Creekis high school has changed through the years, its guiding principle has remained the same: to offer the best possible education to every young person in the community. ff! .HQ Onclaj 01 Q las: -, .fig 44 3 lv gf.:- :..z .A V .lv , -' ',x ,J medmg lygfwk yr sf' A ' pniwfi 7 71 , 4' 5 54 'sf ,I I if Tig?-il' rf' f l - ww f XXV, .V A 'X' 2 I CLASS lllSTORY 1947-1948-The history of our class began as we assembled for the first time in the kindergarten of the old Babcock School, since demolished. The following June we considered ourselves grown up when we staged our first graduation, complete with mortar boardsv and diplomas, in the old gymnasium with our proud parents looking on. 1948-1949-This year we started each day by counting from one to one hundred. And who will ever forget Dick and Jane?U 1949-1950-Mrs. Bentham substituted for a part of the year, after our teacher, Mrs. Baker, suffered a broken nose. At Christmas time we all enjoyed the com- munity singsu in the main hall of the old school. 1950-1951-In November, the cornerstone of the present Babcock School was laid, with our names sealed inside. This was the year of the switch from lettering to writing. Our class picnic at Sunset Bay Park proved to be an enjoyably wet affair. VVe all fell in-accidentally. 1951-1952-When we returned from Christmas vacation, we moved into the beauti- ful new elementary school. The grand finale of the year was a trip to the zoo and the Buffalo Museum of Science. Saving all those pennies had really proved worth while! 1952-19534Introduced to Citizenship Awards, we vied with each other for the honor of wearing a badge. Romeo Glasgow,s troubles started here, because he insisted on having so many girl friends at one time. 1953-l9544When we weren't writing out spelling wordsf' we found time for riot- ous parties. The terrible triangle of the year included Gen Barreca, Art Ray, and Sally Bentham. 1954-1955-Now having left elementary school behind, we were in the Main Street Building, in seventh grade, enjoying our first year in junior high, our first class meeting, and our first dance. 1955-1956-After our visit to the Ford Plant, half a Ford car was reported missing, in parts, that is! On the serious side, we had our first introduction to Regents Examinations this year. 1956-1957-We survived the drop from the top rung of junior high to the bottom of the senior high ladder. Our successful Sadie Hawkins and Spring Feverf' dances, coupled with a pencil sale, added to our growing bank account. 1957-1958-Who was The Hound? Would a well-known disc jockey really be our M.C.? Somebody's brainstorm brought out the crowds to our sophomore dance. Some were disappointed and others amused when Linda's canine pet made his grand entrance. 1958-1959-Our rings arrived just before Christmas, and we were all anxious to see who would be the first to lose his. The boys began a dress better for schooln movement. Our prom, with Bonnie Secrist as queen and Ray Glasgow as king, was the first dance with a really big band. On June tenth some of us played or sang at the ceremonies on the site of the new Junior-Senior High School Building. Then our signatures, along with those of other students and teachers, were sealed in the cornerstone. 1959-1960- Pete Riquelme-Reyes, our A.F.S. student from Chile, joined the class, along with Joe Rocco, Don Smith, and former member Jack Peacock. Our senior year passed swiftly from one highlight to another, from Senior Play, The Babbling Brooks, and our Christmastime Prom to Class Night and Graduation Exercises in the new school. After thirteen years and four schools, we, the Class of 1960, are looking forward to the new chapter about to open. 12 Class Member 1, 2, 3, 4, President 1, 2, 3, 4, Student Council 1, 2, 3, 4, President 45 Year- book StaH 3, 43 Chorus 1, 2, 3, 41 Hi-Times 3, 4, Editor 43 Tri-Hi-Y 3, 4, Parliainentarian 3, Athletic Association 35 Girls' Intramurals 1, 25 Senior Play.

Standing: David Wood, Roger Leonard. Yvonne has been named valedictoriang Sally and Roger have tied for salutatorian honors. The Class of 1960 can be justly proud of the academic standing of many of its members. Of the twenty seniors who are in National Honor Society, the six pictured above have the added distinction of attaining an aver- age of ninety or better for their high school years. Four class members-Sally Bentham, Susanne Kuell, Yvonne Small, and David Wood-have received letters of com- mendation from the National Merit Scholarship Cor- poration. Sue, Yvonne, and Dave have also won New York State scholarships, Sally, Margaret Frazier, and William Ehmke have been named as alternates. While carrying a heavy schedule of academic sub- jects, Sally Bentham has served as co-editor of H i-Lites, been a cheerleader, and participated in almost every ex- tra-curricular activity. She plans to continue her edu- cation at Allegheny College, majoring in biology. Margaret Frazier, who came to Silver Creek from Canisteo in her sophomore year, soon distinguished her- self scholastically. At first undecided between teaching and nursing, Peggy, after part time work as a nurse,s aide, has decided to prepare for a career in this field. While taking a wide range of hard coursesf' Roger Leonard has found time for band and sports such as football and wrestling. Roger intends to pursue his strong interests, mathematics and science, by taking an engineering course in college. By her work in the Future T eachers' Association, of which she has been president, Joyce Ann Scarlata has shown her interest in this career. She plans to continue her preparation at Fredonia State Teachers' College. Last year Joyce Ann was chosen to receive a citizen- ship award frorn the D.A.R. Yvonne Small has maintained the highest average in the class while taking part in many extra-curricular activities. Winner of the Bausch and Lomb Medal, awarded annually to the senior who achieves the high- est standing in his school in science subjects, Yvonne plans to major in this field in college. David Wood's high school career demonstrates an outstanding combination of scholastic and athletic ability. Interested in every branch of class and school activities, Dave has been co-captain of the football and wrestling teams, and co-editor of the yearbook. He plans to become an architect. The Class of 1960 will watch wi-th pride the further careers of these, its honor students.

Having attained at last the status of upperclassmen, We thoroughly enjoyed our position. The big event of our Junior year was, of course, the purchase of our class rings. A pre-Christmas arrival made these eagerly awaited rings ours. NVQ were distinguished this year in becoming the first class to take part in the American Field Service Americans Abroad Program. Through this project a lucky Junior will be given the wonderful opportunity of visiting a foreign country this summer. Many Juniors participated in the calendar sale and other fund-raising activities for the AFS. For a class project We continued the profitable practice established by last yearis class and sold stationery. A highlight of all activities was the Junior Prom in the spring. Then, as the year drew to a sudden close, it was time to say farewell to the Seniors, and this we did at the Farewell Dance in their honor. It was a farewell for us, too, as we said good-bye to the school building we had grown so fond of during our years in Junior and Senior High, but we looked forward with eager anticipation to our brand new school and our place as seniors in it.

SOPHOMORES The industrious ninety-two members of the Class of 1962 entered their second year of high school with even more enthusiasm than they did their Hrst. Starting the year With a big bang they held their semi-formal dance, The Harvest Moon, on November twenty-third. Next on their busy schedule came the Christmas candy sale, largest in the school,s history. Linda Castiglia Won the prize for selling the most, with Diane Nappo following close behind. Immediately afterward many members of the class participated in the Variety Show of 1959 in the Bavarian Polkaf, The Same Old Army, and The Raven, and helped to make it the immense suc- cess that it was. Their record dance was thoroughly enjoyed by all. The challenge by the freshman girls to see who could buy the most calendar dates for the foreign student project was well-answered by the sophomore girls, who received the lollipop awards. Many of the boys made valuable contributions to the school,s numerous victo- ries in various sports, while the two peppy sophomore cheerleaders helped the enthusiastic crowds cheer the teams on to success. In all its activities the class was assisted by its ad- visors, Mr. Heacock and Mr. Taber. Row 1: Donna Snyder, Marie Seegert, Barbara Smith, Rosemary William Smith, Gary Wilson, Robert Winnie.

On September ninth we, the seventy-six members of the Class of 1963, embarked on high school life with the usual zest and enthusiasm of new freshmen. Given more responsibility this year, we tried to live up to our new position. At first, it took us a little time to get ac- quainted with our new teachers and even to End our classrooms. Soon, however we settled down to scholastic achievement and extra-curricular activities. Our two dances this year, the Halloween record hop and an orchestra dance on May twentieth, were very successful, Following in the path of many preced- ing freshman classes, we organized our first class proj- ect, the selling of pencils. Many needy children, we like to think, enjoyed a much happier Christmas because of our sponsoring a Salvation Army assembly at which everyone placed a present under the tree. We were ably led this year by our advisors, Mrs. Aigner and Mr. Con- cilla, and our class officers: President Lynn Buth, Vice- President George Pisa, Secretary Michael Gullo, Treas- urer Richard Gumtow, Reporter Thomas Sweetland, Assemblyman Wilma Weinheimer, and Student Coun- cil representatives, Judy Morrison and Paul Kessler.

F V 4 I 5 L P l i P l The one-hundred and seventeen members of the eighth grade class entered their second year of junior high school very enthusiastically. They began the year's activities by distributing and col- lecting the Good-Will bags in the school. They presented a quiz program on Columbus Day for the seventh and ninth grades. Also for those grades they held a social dance on Friday, the thirteenth of May, Which, in spite of its date, was enjoyed by all. Some of the class members Went beyond class projects and contributed to school- Wide activities such as the Variety Show of 1959.,' Acts including eighth graders, Kissing- Bug Boogief, Me and My Shadowf, You've Gotta Have Heart, and Tennessee Wig-Wagf' helped to make it a vast success. Under the competent leadership of its officers, Norahlene Panzica, President, John Collins, Vice- President, Jim Kollig, Secretary, Nancy Roberts, Treasurer, Linda Stephens and George Gard, Stu- dent Council Representatives, and Terry Foxton, Assemblyman, and its advisors, Mrs. Francis and Mr. Bentham, the Class of 1964 had a very fruitful year and is looking forward to next year when it will be entering on its high school career in the new school.

'D if :My .5 In September the one hundred twenty-eight mem- bers of the seventh grade started their first year as an organized class with great enthusiasm. Led by Presi- dent Danny Conny, Vice-President Edgar Behrmann, Secretary Carol Bolling, Treasurer Sue Elliot, Student Council Representatives Betty Sue Mangano and Jimmy Pantano, and Assemblyman Sharon Estee, these future leaders of Silver Creek Central learned and prac- ticed the rules of parliamentary procedure which will prove valuable to them as they proceed from junior to senior high school. As their first project they held a record dance on April lst in the Elementary School gym to which the eighth and ninth grades were invited. Refreshments were served, and an enjoyable evening had by all who attended. This year was a new adventure for each member. It started their climb to the future. They enjoyed walking down the same corriders with the upperclassmen and passing as the bells rang. They ex- perienced the thrill of going to assemblies and some- tinies taking part in them. Under the able guidance of their advisors, Mrs. Ehmke and Mr. Everson, the seventh grade advanced, took a giant stepu toward the future and what it holds for these tomorrowis leaders of Silver Creek Central. 7th GRADE Row 1: Danicl Conny, President, Mr. Everson, Advisor.

The chief aim and purpose of the Honor Society is to create an enthusiasm for scholarship, to stimulate the desire and opportunity to render service, to promote worthy leadership, and to encourage the development of character. To further these qualities throughout the student body, the Silver Creek Chapter conducts the academic awards assembly each June and gives recog- nition also to a senior boy or girl who exhibits the four principles of its charter, although not a member of the society. Other activities this year included sponsoring a dance, presenting the candle-light induction cere- mony, and serving as guides for Open House. Stimu- lating monthly meetings were held under the guidance of the advisors, Mrs. Bentham and Mr. Kaufman, and the officers, President Alfred Remsen, Vice-President David Wood, Secretary Beverly Briggs, and Treasurer Ronald Lillie. ASSEMBLY COMMITTEE Throughout the school year we are fortunate in being able to enjoy assemblies which allow for a break in'our regular daily schedule, while they entertain and teach us. The Assembly Committee decides on the programs to be presented, prepares the stage and introduces guests to the student body. Thanks to its work, a wide variety of subjects came before us during' 1959-1960 including a vivid presentation of the school's Business Education Departmentg a concert by our band and chorusg a talk by the National Teen-Age Chairman of the lNIarch of Dimesg and the personal appearance, live, of a seven-and-a-half foot indigo snake named Jimmie. Assemblymen during the current year included Craig McFarland, Doris Estee, Duane Wasmund, Wilma Vlfeinheimer, and Terry Foxton. Under the guidance of Mr. Lockwood, Mrs. Harvey, and Mr. Heacock, the assemblymen gained experience in appearing before the public while they performed helpful services for the school. FUTURE TEACHERS Now in its second year of existence, the Library Club has expanded to twenty members, who dedicate their time to better library maintenance. Besides helping to The local chapter of the Future Teachers Associa- tion had a successful year. This club can be justifiably proud of its large membership. Under the able guidance of faculty advisors, Mrs. Harvey and Miss Livermore, and under the leadership of President Joyce Ann Scar- lata, Vice-President Peggy Frazier, Secretary Mar- guerite Gullo, Treasurer Phyllis Caffarelli, and Re- porter Marcia Murphy, it was able to carry out many worthwhile activities. These included a money making project, the sale of coasters, which proved very success- ful, and a dance which was enjoyed by all. Buffet sup- pers were held with speakers provided by the enter- tainment committee, created this year with Beth Farnham as chairman. Annual weekend visits to Fre- donia State Teachers College, where members observed college life, were also part of their activities. Through the Cadet Teachers Program, students have been able to serve as teacherettes in grade school homerooms, and so to explore the teaching profession. LIBRARY CLUB check and care for books and records, they are in charge of making attractive bulletin board displays. Appli- cants to the club are on probation for one year, then the executive committee decides'whether they shall become permanent members. Officers are chosen by Miss Muscato, the librarian. They must possess willing- ness and ability to serve, good scholastic rating, pleas- ing personality, and a neat appearance. Miriam Clark, an outstanding member, was elected president. Donna Caryl was vice-president and Ann Vickers, secretary. The Library Club girls have unsellishly relinquished their free time to gain a better understanding of library work, at the same time rendering valuable service to the school. At the Awards Assembly in June, each sen- ior member of this club is presented with a charm. l0TA MU EPSILON This year with Mrs. Doerschug as advisor the Iota Mu Epsilon group of the Tri-Hi-Y, led by President Betty Jane De Pasquale, Vice-President Rose Marie Borzillire, Secretary Lucia Tramuto, Treasurer Sandy Infantino, Chaplain Miriam Clark, Parliamentarian Carol Cross, and Histor- ian Beth Farnham, worked to live up to the motto: To create, maintain, and extend through- out the home, school, and community, high stand- ards of Christian characterf' The club acted in accordance with its sister- club to raise money for a year's subscription to the Braille Readerjs Digest. Its good will was also expressed as the club prepared a basket of canned goods for a needy family, sponsored a dance and assembly, conducted a car wash in the fall, held a mother-daughter banquet, and sent representa- tive Lynn Shores to Albany for the state legisla- ture convention. PHI DELTA PHI The members of Phi Delta Phi together with Mrs. Fries, their faculty advisor, worked to live up to the ideals of Tri-Hi-Y. Many of the club's projects were held in conjunction with her sister club Iota lNIu Epsilon. Together they sponsored a tea, held a dance after a basketball game, and made favors for the old folks home in Lockport. The two clubs helped the American Field Service calendar sale by selling advertising space to local businessmen. The club,s time was not all spent in working on projects, for the members were often entertained at their regular meetings. Phi Delta Phi was guided toward its goal and ideals under the cap- able leadership of its officers: President Bonnie Secrist, Vice-President Judith Spratz, Secretary Genevieve Barreca, Treasurer Colette Welka, Chaplain Ann Vickers, Historian JoAnn Sarcin- elli, and Parliarnentarian Yvonne Small. HI-TIMES Wah? STUDENT COUNClL The twenty-four diligent members of the Stu- dent Council started the year with the annual Welcome Back to School Dance, held the thir- teenth of September for the vacation-accustomed students. During the Dress-up Daysu which it proclaimed in the winter and in the spring, every- one took extra care in dress and greatly improved the schoolis general appearance. The Council also worked on a constitution for grades seven through twelve to use in deciding certain matters of class government. A scholastic award program similar to the athletic one now used and a Students' Day during which students would replace all school employees were considered. The group was ably led by Christine Keller, presidentg Ford Tucker, vice-president, Bonnie Secrist, secretaryg and Suzanne Mangano, treas- urer. These officers were assisted by Mr. Korn- probst, advisor. Since assuming the duty of publishing the Hi- Times late in their Junior year, the staff mem- bers have worked diligently to make the school paper both interesting and educational. In conjunction with the senior play, The Babbling Brooks, the name of one issue was changed to T he Babbler. This change provided a property for the play and greatly amused the student body. The publication was completely supported by the Senior Class. Although the money profits were not high, a Vast amount of practical experience was gained. Among those to whom the paper owed its success this year are class reporters, newspaper reportersg members of the art, distri- bution, and advertisement committees, typistsg columnists and many others. Probably the most deserving of credit are Co-Editors, Christine Keller and Susanne Kuellg and Miss Amy Muscato, the paper's capable advisor. lil 1 ,ig A' AND y if U I ' 1 During 1959-1960 the band, directed by Mr. Bruce Heacock, offered for the musically talented, instruction and practice which could lead to a career or simply make life more interesting. While becoming more pro- ficient, band members also served the entire student body. Their rousing marches stirred our school spirit in assemblies and at games. We sang better when they accompanied us in Christmas carols or school songs. We enjoyed their annual spring concert and could be proud of the progress they showed when they played at the state festival. ,1 l HORUS After many successful years under the direction of Mrs. Dorothy Harvey, the Senior Mixed Chorus re- ceived a new director this year, Mr. Regis Hutter, an enthusiastic conductor of classical and pops music. Chorus members were very glad to have Mrs. Harvey remain with them as accompanist, things just wouldn't be the same without her. On December twenty-first, the Chorus presented a fine Christmas program, con- sisting of two numbers, for the annual Salvation Army assembly. It gave a spirited spring concert, and at- tended the state music festival. SCIENCE CLUB To encourage members in carrying out experimental and Reporter Gary Livecchi.

The g Majorettes made their debut during the football season. Acting in conjunction gwith the High School Band, these girls braved the cold, and often wet, weather ito give the Football Team's morale a Q boost. During the Basketball season the Q Majorettes gave several halftime perform- gances, gaining the appreciation of spec- gtators and team alike. Throughout the gschool year this organization's activities ihave greatly augmented our school spirit and civic pride CHEERLEADERS The cheerleaders of Silver Creek serve as a symbol of school spirit and lead all the students in voicing enthusiastic support of our teams. These girls have shown their own spirit by practicing for many hours to attain that beautiful precision and by their snappy cheering, even under impossible conditions-CRemen1ber the tor- rential downpour at Brocton?D They started the football season with the traditional bonfire rally in the park, Where the students burned in effigy the team's Hrst oppo- nent. The basketball season was introduced by a pep assembly at which new cl1eers were taught, and Coach Ransbury and the team were presented to the students. This year Carol Militello served as captain, and Sandy Dolce as secretary.

Also for the third time the Knights have been deprived of an undefeated foot- ball season, and this year that meant the loss of the Northwestern League Championship. The only defeat suffered by the conquering Black Knights was at the hands of Northern Area. This game, although lost, was a moral victory because of the valiant play of the Knights. The fighting fifty-seven were coached by Mr. Ransbury, Mr. Ames, and Mr, Concillag led by co- captains David Ball and David Woody and supported by a large student body. David Ball, the powerful left halfbaek, led the league in total points with 12 touch- downs and 4 extra points for a total of 76. The return- ing boys promise a good season next year despite the loss of seniors Dave Wood, Dave Ball, Craig McFar- land, Ray Glasgow, Marshall Cook, Rog Leonard, Joe Burst, Jim Ward, Don J. Smith, Craig Smith, Ron Taylor, and Dave Fancher. Scores: S. C.-28, Randolph-0, S. C.-33, Brocton-03 S. C.-13, Bemus Point-6g S. C. 19, Forestville-Og S. C. 25, Westfield-Og S. C.-39, Fredonia-7g S.

Tied for first place in league at press time. .AA .nits Basketball has a long and honorable record at Silver Creek. The yearbook of 1905 states that the newly-formed team played Dunkirk High, Fredonia Normal, Masten Park Independents, Mayville, and Westfield, among others, in its first season. Once more as in the past the Black Raiders seem to be spelling doom', to their unfortunate rivals. Thus far this season the Raiders have gone unchecked, conquering all opponents with ease. Maybe another Winning streak is in the making. The successful Raiders are coached by Mr. Ransbury, who seems to have a talent for building teams, he has not seen an unsuccessful season in his years at Silver Creek Central. Sharpshooter Ray Glasgow injured his knee early in the season, forcing him to miss an important game. Then he suffered a sprained ankle which benched him for much more of the season. Despite the loss of Glasgow, the other boys played brilliantly. George Carter, Rich Mangano, and Dave Ball took over the scoring reins. This, plus the dribbling exhibitions of Gary Penix, and a strong bench have enabled the Raiders to remain undefeated as We go to press. 50 The Junior Varsity began a successful season under the leadership of Coach Godfrey, new at Silver Creek Central, who took over the coaching reins this year and is doing a fine job. The hope for another undefeated team was shattered early in the season by a stinging defeat at the hands of Pine Valley. Albert Daniels, the early season star, was moved to the Varsity immedi- ately after his second game. With the loss of his height and shooting ability, many people thought the team would suHer greatly, but the drive and spirit of the other players carried the team on to more victories. With outstanding players like Mike Mangano, Jack Baird, George North, Tony Saletta, Eugene Burgess, and Dale Van Vlack leading the way, the rest of the boys followed to keep up the reputa- tion of the Silver Creek J.V. JUNIOR VARSITY BASKETBALL WRESTLING This year for the first time in the history of Silver Creek Central, wrestling has been added to the other athletic activities. This new sport had already attracted many followers. The team, under the coaching of Mr. Ames and the leadership of co-captains Dave Wood 51 and Ed Agliata, is picking up much needed experience and improving steadily. Since this was the first year of wrestling, a Victorious season was hardly expected, but let our rivals beware of these boys in the years to come! CROSS COUNTRY The school year 1959-60 saw the reor- ganization of a cross country team for the first time since 1951. Faced with tough opposition, the team managed to win two out of ive dual meets under the able coaching of Mr. Bove. They also cap- tured third place in the Buffalo State Invi- tational, in which 23 schools took part. A heartbreaking loss occurred in the sec- tionals at which time Silver Creek was edged out of a victory 27 to 30. One of the toughest jobs the team will face next year will be to find a replacement for Dave Foster, a senior who took top honors in a number of meets. As the rebuilding and recruiting of talent continue, Silver Creek Cross Country team should have many other successful seasons.

Through graduation in June the team lost the services of first- string pitcher Dave Leonard, hard-hitting center fielder John Lanier, and powerful first baseman Dean Bedgar. In the spring of 1960, Silver Creek's baseball future will rest in the hands of returning lettermen Dave Ball, Craig McFarland, Al Remsen, Ed Agliata, Terry Bol- ling, Tony Eberl, Gary Penix, and George Carter. In addition, among the underclassmen and junior high students a tremendous enthusiasm for baseball is being built by little league play, and many stars of to- morrowi' are being developed to follow in the footsteps of these boys. 1959 Scores: S.

GOLll The 1959 golf squad, though not so suc- cessful as in previous years, gained expe- rience and sportsmanship, the most im- portant element of competitive play, through participation in tournaments with other schools. Although the team was in the process of rebuilding, it played matches with Bemus Point, Dunkirk, Fredonia, Jamestown, and Southwestern, and participated in the county meet for the Section Six playoff. As the yearbook goes to press, keen anticipation of the spring matches already has started developing in the squad, which will be joined by senior Don Smith, a transfer from Springville, and an expe- rienced golfer. The enthusiastic response to 1960,s active schedule shows promise of a successful season ahead. TRACK The trackmen of 1959 again did honor to Silver Creek Central School. The team under the coaching of Mr, Ames captured the County Class B Champion- ship with the massive total of 61M points and placed third in the Section VI Track Meet, losing by a mere Hve points. Many milestones were reached by members of this '59 Track Team. Speed merchant John Lanier led the team on to many victories with his blinding speed. Al Remsen and Dave Foster both managed to run the 1,41 4 mile in under five minutes, lanky Dean Bedgar pro- duced nine runs in the 440, and Herb Cooke and Gene Burgess each took a first place in Sectional events. The loss of seniors John Lanier, Herb Cooke, Dean Bedgar, and Al Paglia will be a blow to the team. How- ever, the returning trackmen, David Foster, Al Rem- sen, David Ball, Gary Mitchell, Marshall Cook, Terry Bolling, Ed Agliata, Rich Mangano, Frank Clement, Chet Baker, Tony Eberl, and Eugene Burgess will provide S. C. C. S. with another good team in 1960. M my -a 1-- Nfi' , W5 - ' T' - W-,b .- , Q. ' 2 '77iTf r 'R , -.az Q. vga, 'f, .. 1555 . ,,,,,y,, HJ Q, .
