Qh Bie la THE RECORD PRESENTED BY THE JUNIORS OF ENCE RPORT-H IG CHOGL ind information pertinent to the activities and members port High School. 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. In 1941, the second year- book was published with ty Ann Utter as editor, and Mr. Partington visor with an'estimated circulation of 300 copi Seve important improvements were made and it was a complete success. This year, it is hoped, it will measure up to the high standards set by the previous issues, by having a circulation of 300 copies. The yearbook is indebted to Bernard Cubitt as editor, and Mr. Partington as advisor, for the time and effort they have devoted to making the book a success. DEDICATION TO MR. WILSON In appreciation of his untiring efforts in our behalf we dedicate this book. Every act that he has performed has been with the interest of the students and the school uppermost in his mind. No sacrifice of time and effort is too great when service for the school is needed. Mr. Wilson is the Head of the Science Department of Spencerport High School. He began his teaching career here in September, 1931. He obtained his A. B. degree from the University of Rochester and his M. A. degree from the New York State College for Teachers! at Albany, New York. His many and varied duties in Spencerport High School include: Senior Class Advisor for the last five years with special guidance of Graduation and Class Day Exercises; in charge of the school bookstore; completion of many school reports; compilation of questionnaires on student’ statistics; advisor to the student council; all these in addi- tion to a full teaching schedule. Mr. Wilson was appointed Vice-Principal in September, 1935 and occupies this position in conjunction with Miss Cosgrove. He has surred action supervision of the school on several occasions in the absence of Mr. Wood. May this book be a permanent tribute to him. 3 NELSON C.

It seems proper to point out that these men are giving their services and receiving no compensation, A thumb-nail sketch of each of these men will give you a better idea of the great demands on their time required by their work in life. Dr. Knox Brittain is a Specialist in General Hospital, Rochester, New York. Mr. Howard Hawkins is Cashier at Monroe County Savings Bank, Rochester, New York: Mr. H. A. Shafer is a Chemical Technician at Defender Photo, Rochester, New York. Mr. J. Lester Kincaid is Post-Master of the Spencerport Post-Office, Spencerport, New York. Mr. Raymond Flagg is Superintendent of State Highway maintenance. The advantages offered by Spencerport High School are due, in great part, to the efforts expended by the Board. We, the students of Spencerport High School, wish to take this opportunity to express our sincere appreciation of their works in our behalf.

The group meets once every two weeks to discuss studen problems. The Student Council for 1941-1942 has accomplished a great deal. After much discussion and hard work, a constitution was drafted and passed, first by the council and then by the students. The main objective of the council is to act as a competant governing unit for student affairs. A hall-monitor system was established to supervise the hall eight periods. We attended a Western New York Student Association Conference at East Rochester where we obtained a number of constructive ideas. With the constitution out of the way and the powers and duties of the council set down in black and white, we can expect changes and improvements in the near future. 23 EGHO STAFF First Row: Hoy, Jones, Brown, Potter, Bidlack, McClelian, Bennett, Utter, Flagg Second Row: Miss Ferkanin, Peters, Amish, Colby, Moore, Bonnet, Reitz, Weller, Hulek, Mr. Tucker Third Row: Stettner, Partyka, Wheeler, Tompkins, Ziegler, Mattern, Cubitt, Trabold, Taylor Fourth Row: Wadsworth, Waley, Maxim, House, Snyder, Williamson, Kervan, Lamberson, Smith, Colby, Schott EDITORAL STAFF EDITOR-IN-CHIEF, Grace McClellan; ASSOCI- ATE EDITOR, Jane Bidlack; BUSINESS MANAGER, Harold Schott; NEWS EDITOR, Betty Ann Utter; PERSONAL EDITORS, Martha Morgan, Eleanor Bonnet; SPORTS EDITORS (Girls) Arlene House, (Boys) Bill Pangborn, Chuck Trabold; EXCHANGE EDITOR, Shirley Williamsom; LITERARY EDITORS, Barbara Peters, Suzette Ziegler; JOKE EDITORS, Lois Maxim, Evelyn Taylor; ART EDITORS, Janet Potter, Winnie Hoy, Betty eler; GRADE EDITORS, Elsie Thorpe, Eddie Coe.

The loyal support of the student s and a trip to Syracuse is their reward. About ten staff members take this trip to attend the Empire State School Press Association Conference. They get lots of new ideas from other school papers and about mimeographed and printed ers and about editing Yearbooks. Perhaps not quite so educational, but just as much fun, is the dance and football game they attend. After two days they come back to Spencerport with plenty of ideas about a variety of topics. Another educational trip is the Genesee Valley Press Conference, held at Webster this year, attended by the entire staff. At both of these conferences the Echo received an A rating in the mimeographed paper division. Through thick and thin the staff is ef- ficiently guided by Mr. Tucker and Miss Ferkanin, to whom goes much of the credit for the Echo’s success. First Row: Tice, Haley, Stewart, G. Thome, W.

The girls sang in the ‘Candle Light Processional ' and in the ‘Variety Show’ GLEE CLUB: The enrollment this year is well over 30 members, The Glee Club took part in the Christmas Program. The highlight of the club's activities was the ‘Music Festi- val’ at Fairport, held on March 28, '42. It is the first time the Club has attended such a festival. Some of the girls sang with the ‘Massed Chorus’ of all the schools combined. The Club this year, under the supervision of Mrs. Partington, is the best yet.

He is a wonderful teacher with a varied and thorough knowledge of music. The band has played for many enter- tainments in the school. During the spring they gave band concerts in front of the school. This spring they plan to attend the Monroe County Festival. The Majorettes, organized by Mr. Melville, have added much to the appear- ance and performance of our band. They have developed varied and interesting tricks with original formations. Seated: Schmidt, J. Mattern. Rear: Cubitt, Jervis, Russo, S. Brongo, Murphy, Beeler, Hedrick, Weld, Bueg, J.

The patrol consisted of two squads of five men each and a captain, At the present time there is only one squad, of five men, headed by Art Kirvan. The boys work outside after school to prevent the children from running in front of the buses and being injured. The Safety Patrél was a body which the school needed badly. Since it was started no one has been hurt in the parking lot. This is a fine demonstration of their efficiency. HALL MONITOR SYSTEM The Hall Monitor system was created by the Student Council to patrol the hall eighth periods. There are several monitors, all girls, headed by Joyce Bennett. They maintain order in the halls, preventing running, eat- ing and unnecessary roaming and conjestion in the halls. First Row Seated: Bennett, Erback, Fegyo. Second Row Seat! Cole, Kirvan.

The members write letters, send cartoons and snapshots and do many worthwhile things to cheer over fifty Spencerport fellows now serving Uncle Sam. More power to you, Cheer Club! Keep ‘em smilin’. 28 FRENCH CLUB THE FRENCH CLUB, or L. S. H. F., was organized on January 14, 1941, The club has grown considerably since then, with the admittance of many members of this year's French I class. A consti- tution has been written, by which pres- ent members and those of succeeding years will abide. Members are given member-ship cards on which their dues are punched. These are written in French. At our meetings we play French and English games and sing French ver- Second Row: Morgan, Vice Pres.; Kirvan, Treas.; Bonnet, Pres.; Mr. St. sions of English songs.

Standing; Thome, Reber, House, Miss Brewer, S Bennett, Schieler, Williamson ‘Be a sport and be in sports’ seems to be the motto of the athletically inclined females of Spencerport High School. A highly organized intramural program favors both the skilled and un- skilled game participants and includes such major team sports as soccer, volleyball, basketball, and baseball. Keen competition among class teams follows the intramural set-up. An archery club and riding club are favored by many of the girls. The Athletic Council is the basic unit of all activities and is composed of a president (a Senior),) two Seniors, Juniors, Freshmen and one representative of the seventh and eighth grades and the Girls’ Athletic Director, Miss Brewer. Several play days are held each year at Spencerport and other neighboring schools. Every girl has an opportunity to attend and earn points toward her numerals, letters or monogram, At the end of the school year the announcement is made of the Senior girl who has been chosen the best sport by the Girls’ Athletic Association. LEADERS CLUB: Leader's club was formed by Miss Brewer and consists of a number of Junior and Senior girls. They have red and white uniforms of shorts and shirts. They must know the rules and fundamentals of sports in order to demonstrate in gym classes. They help organize the intramural program, have charge of equipment, keep score and time in girls’ sports activities, and assist Miss Brewer with the grade children at noon. Occasionally they have outings such a theatre parties.

It is com- posed of faculty members and students and is under the direction of Mr. Schum, Director of Physical Education. The purpose of this organization is to issue sport's letters; to obtain one thing a year for the benefit of the student body. This year the jute-box was obtained and has greatly improved the periods at noon-hour and after basketball games.

They occupy a very important place in the lives of everyone of the students. They have given years of service and many of their efforts are not part of their regular jobs ‘Gary’ has been here the longest coming to Spencerport High School in 1927 and is in charge of maintenance. Mrs. Webster is in charge of the school cafeteria and has been here since 1928. Miss Breckenridge is general secretary for the school and came to S. H. S. in 1 932. Mr. Freestone is sistant to ‘Gary’ in the maintenance work and came here in 1939. Their efforts often go unrewarded and unappreciated. May we students take this opportunity to thank them for everything they do and forgive our misdoings.

The ‘Slouch Cheer’, one of the new ones intros duced late in the season, went over big, but could be used only when the team was way ahead and sure of winning. (It was used only twice.) The same uniforms were worn, except the boys had their white pants died blue, because after every ride on the players bus the pants were in no condition to cheer in. I don't know how or why, but the girl cheerleaders came out of the bus in one piece. Miss Brewer headed and advised the cheer- leaders, and suggested many new cheers, 38 BASKET BALL “WA RSITZ = Kneeling: Vowles, Houck Standing: Irwin, Reeves, Barton, Eckel, Buttner, T. Fosmire, Eichas, J. Fosmire VARSITY BASKETBALL Under the leadership of Coach Mink, Spencerport High School finished in fourth place this year. This was the first year at Spencerport for our coach and we all think he did a fine job. The starting five consisted of Ted and Joe Fosmire, Laverne Houck, Topper Vowles, and Jack Eckel. Homer Barton and Bob Irwin also saw plenty of action. Out- standing performer and holder of a position on the all coun- ty second team was Laverne Houck. Not to be overlooked, however, are the other four reserves who all received honor- able mention, s. H. S, VISITORS Ss. H. S.

The record does not look too impressive but e through to win the Monroe County Title. There were many hard fought battles, and most of those lost were close ones.

H. S. is baseball. The success of the teams has been exceptional. Under the coaching genius of Mr. Schum, the team has been outstanding in county competition. In 1939, the t won the Monroe County League Championship and in 1941 they again won the Championship, advanc- ing to the finals in the sectionals, losing to a strong Madison High School te This is a record to be proud of and we congratulate Coach Schum and his boys. It se only proper that we should give credit where credit is due. Coach Schum is an exceptional coach in his field, recognized throughout the county. developed some very raw recruits into polished performers. He has been fair in his dealings with the boys and stressed the ability to lose as a necessary quality of every true sportsman. He is a true sportsman himself. May he have continued success. Some of the veterans returning this year are as follo Jack Eckel, Dale Flagg, Bill Corke, Laverne Houck, Mack Gardner, Arnold Wehrele, Homer Barton, and Ted Fosmire. We regret that because of publication difficulties we cannot use a picture of the baseball t of the current year. In order to obtain needed discounts we cannot wait until the team is formed. We know our team will be successful and wish them the best of Luck. PATRONS Gravelle’s Gas Station Dr. CE. Castle Tripisciano’s Shoe Store Dr. CG. Lenhart Dr WJ. Kenn edy Dr. BF.
