It is the aim of this publication to provide a lifelong remembrance to each student of the happy years he spent here. In 1940, the first yearbook in twenty years was edited by the Echo staff. With the able assistance of Mr. Buell Arnold, Miss Jane Miller, and Mr. Edgar Dubois, the book was a great success and 275 copies were printed. This year the volume has an estimated circulation of 350 copies and has increased eight pages in content. This 1940-41 Record will, 1t is hoped, measure up to the high standards set by last year's issue. The yearbook is indebted to Betty Ann Utter as editor, and Mr. Partington as advisor, for the time’ and effort they have devoted to making the book a success. NELSON C. WOOD PRINCIPAL DEDICATED te ou PRINCIPAL In appreciation of the splendid work he has done during his five years as Principal of the Spencerport High School, this book is hereby dedicated to Mr. Nelson C. Wood. Since he began his duties in 1936 he has contributed a great deal toward the improvement of the school program. Through his untiring efforts a number of valuable innovations have been successfully introduced and carried through. One of the most worthwhile projects instituted by Mr. Wood was student government. In 1936 he suggested the plan, and tried unsuccessfully to arouse the interest of the student body. In 1939 a Student Council was established which 1s now functioning very efficiently. In 1936 the curriculum was amplified by the addition of a kindergarten. In 1937 the Industrial Arts Department was added; in 1938, the Agricultural course and our own bus system. In these ways, our high school has grown and expanded during Mr. Wood's ter! Several classes have graduated since 1936, and the members of each will long remember the friendly and helpful advice he rendered to them on perplexing problems regarding studies, choosing a career, and other activities. By his own example, he has taught others consideration and fair play. His guidance has given everyone who sought his counsel, new strength and courage, and fortified them to go on. Mr. Wood is well worthy of the high esteem in which all the students hold him. Everyone regards him, not as a disciplinarian, but as a strong friend who is deeply interested in the welfare of each individual.

Here we are, all we Seniors, ready to graduate from high school-- the place of all our young troubles and ec worries. If we didn't have calendars to look at every day, it would be hard for us to believe that four years could possibly pass so quickly. Why, it seems just like yesterday that we took our first step on the ladder of growing up and entered our Freshman year in high school. That was in 1937. It was a consolation to have a certain teacher named Mr. DuBois to boost us along to that ladder of many steps, or we would never have gotten there, we're sure. Well, we climbed the first step, and there we were, Freshmen- innocent green ones who certainly lived up to our name, as most Freshmen do. That year of wide-eyed innocence” we had a roller skating party in the city, a Hallowe'en masquerade party, (our first chance to exhibit how little we knew about dancing), and lastly, a scavenger hunt at Miss Miller's which brought us hurrying home in the midst of a downpour. Then, if we were lucky, we took our second step up the ladder of growing up and became Sophomores. That year, 1938, we also had a Hallowe'en party, and throughout the year we threw tea dances. On the third step of the ladder when we became Juniors, we thought ourselves pretty good. We sold pins and pencils that year, and strove to give a rollicking play, Ouch, My Corns! To end the Last term, we brought on the greatest thrill yet--- the Junior Prom, on the 17th of May. It was a spring ball and the auditorium was supposed to have resembled a flower garden. It was a successful, dance, however, and made us feel swell to think that it turned out so well, Our last and highest step on the ladder was taken in 1940 when the honored name SENIORS was passed on to us. This year we sold candy, and presented a very educational play called The Nitwits , which was a success and brought the house down. We had a Hallowe'en party too, with orange and black goblins dancing on the walls. Last, but certainly not least, we sponsored the Patriotic Senior Ball - the third of our high school days. The red, white, and blue colors thrilled us, for those stand for our strong and able nation which we must stand by so faithfully at this time. Now that we are ready to graduate, we realize that we have been prepared not only for college but for that greatest and most strenuous step-- that which lies before us --- Life! FOTO OCTICRS AN.

Trowbridge High School, being of semi-equal physical and mental ability, do declare this our last will and testament. --First, to the Board of Education, faculty, our parents, and to those who have helped us in any way to complete our high school course, we leave our sincere appreciation. --The Senior Class of 1941 reluctantly bestow on the oncoming Senior Class the senior privileges the former class never had. --To the Junior Class, the ability to raise money. --To the Sophomore Class, the Senior's quietness in the library. --To the Freshman Class, the strict regulation of the Safety Patrol.

Grumbles On this day of God's Grace, May 29, 1941, I, D. Sheldon, do present the Grumbles of the class of ‘41. Well, our first and loudest grumble is the failure of our class to go either to New York or Washington. Darn these teachers. The Senior Class 1s grumbling over the lack of good English words in the dictionary to express their gratitude to the faculty for their help in our money-raising projects. We also wonder what became of those campaign speeches which granted Senior Privileges in library! !!! The whole school is grumbling over the drafting of Mr. Dubois. Just look what that war in Europe did to our school! The Senior Class wishes to complain about the methods used by the Safety Patrol. This grumble will probably continue for sey- eral years, The Senior Play Cast grumbles over those suppers last wintert Burnt spaghetti and pudding was our diet. How about it, Lannigan?. The Senior Class is grumbling over those horrible stories which we were made to read. DAVID COPPERFIELD, THE HOUSE OF SEVEN GABLES, THE TALE OF TWO CITIES, etc. We should also like to put in a complaint about the doing a- way with tea dances. Darr Wohlers is heard grumbling over the inability of that great, little car of his to do the things that an army tank does. For instance, climbing seventy-five degree grades and manoeuvering through gravel ruts. Certain members of the Senior Play cast are grumbling over the lack of longer night rides to,Niagara Falls, aren't they, Marge? JOHN MPCAULEY The Junior Class of Spencerport High School wishes to dedicate this page to the memory of John McCauley, one of its members, whose death came as a tragic blow to all of us. He was liked by all who knew him and his cheery smile and happy disposition are keenly miss- ed. He was active in sports and in the band and did everything with his whole heart behind it. We shall not soon forget him for his memory sfall live on through the medium of this book for many years to come.

They held their first meeting January 4, 1940,and Ralph Schuler was made temporary chairman. The purpose of the Student Council is to regulate and control student extra- curricular activities. This year a general election was held November 13, 1940 and the following officers were elected: President-Orville Gravelle, Vice-President-Mark Stenzel, and Secre- tary-James Hoy,who will carry on the unfinished work of the previous council. The Council this year is composed of 3 Seniors, 3 Juniors, 2 Sophomores, 2 Freshmen, 1 Eighth and 1 Seventh grade representative.. This representative body drew up a social calender, set up standards for music awards, approved varsity awards, sportmanship awards, approved various school clubs and organizations. The Council meets bi-weekly on Friday during the eighth period. At the meetings problems of the school are brought up and discussed by the members of the council.

This patrol was divided into two squads of six men each, with George Fuller and Robert Kervan acting as the captains of their respective squads. The Safety Patrol was formed for the purpose of eliminating the possi- bility of grade-school pupils being injured in the parking lot and for main- taining orderly conduct in the halls and eighth period. At the beginning, offenders were turned over to Mr. Olmsted, but when the student court was formed, offenders were referred to it. The Safety Patrol of Spencerport High School is the first of its kind to be established in a rural school of Monroe County. The success of student government in Spencerport High School is aided by the success of the Safety Patrol which was the first move toward student gov- ernment and student safety. About September 24, 1940 after the summer vacations and with school well on its way, the Safety Patrol again came into view. The Safety Patrol of 1940 is a more strict enforcer of the Spencerport High School Student Government.

That is the familiar cry one may hear traveling through the corriders of Spencerport High School twice a month. You see the Echo is the school paper which is published bi-weekly by the students of Spencerport High School. The Echo room is certainly a busy place. This year the paper is under the editorship of Jeanne Kenyon with Grace McClellen as her assistant. News travels fast and furious in Spencerport High School and it is up to Doris Kort, the news editor, to assign it to her roving reporters, Christine Stettner, Shirley Wil- liamson, Carol Amish, Dorothy Brown, Jeanette Lamberson, Eleanor Bonnett, Shirley Payne and Don Moore. Clink, clink, my,is that the sound of money? If it is, you will certainly find John Koch there busily counting the day's sales. Another familiar cry you may here is, Are the personals in yet? As this is an important part of our paper, the part which the students enjoy the most is greatly important, so I have to collect the latest scoops. Kay Matzell and Marjorie Dillon are the lucky ones to hold down the post of the personal column. Not to be overlooked are the columnists who contribute greatly to the success of the paper. They are Thelma Flagg, Peggy Jones, Betty Ann Utter and Shirley Miller. The sport page is very successfully edited by Charles Trabold and Arlene House. The joke page is written by Harold Schott and William Wadsworth, while the literary pages are by Janet Potter and Jane Bidlack. Joan Austin draws the very artistic and clever, attractive covers. The typists are S. Nichols, J. Bennett and M. Thorton. First Row: Kenyon, Telloch, Cowles, Wolfe, McClellan; Second Row: Brower, Thornton, Bonnett, Stewart HISTORY OF BRIGHAM MEMORIAL SPEAKING CONTEST When Mrs. Henry Martyn Brigham's only son was killed in the World War she was struck with the uselessness of war in relation to its toll of human life. She then conceived the idea of sponsoring an annual speaking contest to be held in honor and memory of her son who had been sacrificed to the god of war. Since Mr. Brigham lived in Spencerport, the local high school was designated as the place where the contests were to take place. The rules of the contest state there is to be a boy's and girl's contest. The first prize winner to receive a gold medal; second prize, a silver medal; and third prize,a bronze medal. This contest gives the students an added incentive to develop ability they may have for public speaking. Many pupils have overcome extreme self-consciousness by entering this annual event. The contest has accomplished much in the way of gaining a well earned reputation for clean and vigorous rivalry. It certainly has been a fitting tribute to one who gave his life so others may practice their rights. The entire student body and all connected in any way with the contest are extremely grateful to Mrs. Brigham for her excellent contribution to the sghop}, jn) CONTEST From Right: Charbonneau, Smith, Wadsworth, McMann, and Graelle.

DAT D Spencerport High School 1s indeed proud of its band. Under the able direction of Mr. Melville the band has shown great improve- ment and is really a fine musical organi- zation. We can not say enough concerning the wonderful leadership of Mr. Melville. He is a fine musician himself and his understand- ing and optimistic method of teaching lends encouragement to even the most doubtful student. The band has played at assemblies and at sporting events and really makes our spirits run high with their inspiring music. We are looking forward to the coming year with high hopes of success in band contests since we have developed a band which shows real promise. SWING BAND There is 4 rumor around that the cats are going to town and that the ickies, too, are really beginning to moo. Pardon this thing or do you like swing? There is a gang of jeepers who have really got the creep-ers and really like to see a swinging group begin to toot. Pardon this jargon but it is concerned with swing alone. Our swing band {1s a young organization. It was recently organized and is doing very well. We hope they will have a successful future. It offers an opportunity for those who wish to earn their way, in the future, through school.

French bck The Latin Club is held every month. The Latin I and Latin II Classes take turns in bringing the refreshments. The dues are collected and the business of the month discussed. After the business of the month fs over games are played. The Latin Club put on a play for the school assembly program, entitled Julius Ceasar. This club was organized in January, 1941 with Miss Barnard as advisor. The French Club (L. S. H. F.) was organized on January 14, 1941 by sev- eral pupils of the French I class with Mr. Gordon as advisor. Meetings are held in turn at each of the members' homes. After the meet- ings, which are carried on in French, they play French games. When refresh- ments are served, French is spoken, and many new words are learned. During the meeting, a member is chosen to write an interesting essay on France. This stimulates interest in the language.

The chief team sports are soccer, basketball, and softball. For those who prefer sports in which there are only two or four persons taking part; there are badminton and ping-pong tournaments. Two very popular sports are rid- ing and archery. Although these clubs are able to par- take in their activities in the spring and fall, many girls have joined both clubs. The team sports, badminton, and riding are headed by Mrs. Fields. Miss Barnard is the instructress of archery.

CHAPS [ SOPHOMORES ne Sporrs Joyce Bennett, Thelma Flagg, Chuck Trabold, Gloria Thome, Mark Stenzel In many of the sports in which Spencerport participates there is a definite need of spectator support. This is usually given vocally. In other words cheering is the principal means the students have of showing their support for their teams, Naturally there is a system of direction of this vocal appreciation. This is what is popularly known as cheerlead- ing. The cheerleading squad of Spencerport High School is composed of both boys and girls. To be a cheerleading aspirant one must have one's marks up. This is the first and most important of the qualifications for a success- ful cheerleader. When one has passed the first elimination he must learn many new cheers to prepare for the final elimination. This final sift- ing of the applicants is done with the help of represen- tatives of all the classes in the school, so everyone has an equal chance. This year there has been the usual keen competition, and from seventeen applicants for the girls' positions, four were selected. In the boys! division three were selected from the eight who tried out. The girl cheerleaders this year were: Thelma Flagg, Joyce Bennett, Gloria Thome, and Ruth Gargan. The boy cheerleaders were: Mark Stenzel, Bud Latham, and Chuck Trabold. This year the school bought new outfits for its cheer- leaders. The outfits for the girls were of corduroy; the blouses gold, and culotts of blue. These are the school colors, of course. The boys wore white sweaters with a gold letter, and completed their ensemble with white pants having blue and gold stripes down the side. This year there was a very good response from the students, and coupled with the fact the S. H. Ss five won, an enjoyable season was had by the cheering squad. None of the improvements and high standards of the squad could have been possible, however, without the able and efficient direction of Mrs. Fields, former- ly Miss Grant. The spirit which she put into her direction really helped us to put our cheers over more effectively. The end of the season was marked by a supper which was attended by all the cheerleaders and Mr. and Mrs. Fields, a real finish for a fine year.

This was the first year of coaching for Coach Stenzel, and we all realize the re- remarkable job he accomplished in the building of our fine ball team. ‘The first five men consisted of Rich Houck, LaVerne Houck, Chuck Vowles, Joe Elliot and Homer Barton. Thru an accident, Joe Elliot was put out for the season and the first five changed slightly to Rich Houck, LaVerne Houck, Topper Vowles, Chuck Vowles, and Homer Barton. Junie Rey- nolds also showed surprising ability on the varsity this year. The substitutes were helpful and not to be overlooked. They played to the best of their ability when they were needed Rich Houck ended the season in second place in the individual Monroe County contest. Two of our men, Joe Elliot and Rich Houck, made the Varsity Monroe County All-Stars. We are all proud of our team and our Coach!!!1!

Although not compiling a record like the varsity, they did very well, batting well over five hundred per cent with seven wins out of twelve starts. Outstanding for the reserves was Gifford Reeves, Dean Henry, and Joe Morabito. Every man, however, really played with everything he had. All are fine prospects for the var- sity next year. SOCCER TEAM The Soccer team in its initial year did very well considering it was an inexperienced team. The team fared well with six losses, five wins and one tie. With Rich Houck, Dar Wohler, and Laverne Houck, three of our big booters, and Homer Barton as goalie the team did exceedingly well. The team lost many games by a few minutes that might have given victory to Spencerport's forces. Under the leadership of Coach Schum the boys on the team upheld the name of Spencerport High School.

Back Row: Houck, Warner, Reynolds, Koch, Wohlers, Barton, Eckel, Coach Schum; Front Row: Flagg, Houck, Henry, Gardner, Warner, Corke Spencerport High School has long been noted for its fine baseball teams. Coach Schum, a fine baseball player himself, has been the man responsible for developing these excellent team Coach Schum has made somewhat of a specialty of developing catchers, the position he, himself, played, and his catchers are the most feared in the league. In 1939, the team won the Monroe County League Championship. They expect to be the target for every other team in the league to shoot at since they have a goodly number of veterans back and expect a successful season. It is the policy of Coach Schum to give every man a chance to prove his worth and the lineup, therefore, constantly shifts. However,to start out the season it appeared as follows: fomer Barton, Dean Henry, and Junior Reynolds as pitchers; Dar Wohlers, catcher; Jack Eckel, first base; Mary Warner, second base; LaVerne Houck, short-stop; Johnie Koch, third base; Gena Warner, left-field; Rich Houck, center-field; Bill Corke, right-field.
