Between the covers of this book is told the story of another school year. As the years go by this story will bring back many memories. With the fighting in Korea uppermost in our minds during the past year, and as many of our former friends and schoolmates are now serving their country, we are proud to dedicate this issue of THF VOICF OF S.C.S. to all alumni now serving in the armed forces of the United States. For this reason we have used illustrations from patriotic songs to explain the pictures. We,of the staff, sincerely hope that in the years to come as you read this book, you will again relive the days spent at S.C.S. and also remember with appreciation the sacrifice of many alumni and schoolmates who are serving our country. And now, as you turn the pages---------another story of a year at S.C.S. is told.

Scared as we were, thirteen years ago, it wasn’t long before we were cheating on our naps. On page 16 you will note the Class of ’51 in action at the age of five. Of the twenty-two in our class, only six have gone down the “long, long trail” together. They are: Joyce Barkley, Peggy Caouette, Margie Miller, Bette North, Mike Simmons and Pat Terrell. Having completed successfully the basic eight years, the credit for our grade school education goes to many fine teach- ers. In the first grade Miss I lelcn Moore helped us with our “ABCs.” In our second and third grades the fundamentals of math were drilled in our heads by Mrs. Gregory and Mrs. Kelly. We paused to rest in the fourth grade and under Miss Mary Moore (Govern) we concentrated on Ancient History. Waiting for us in the fifth grade was Miss Gordon. Miss McEwan led us through the sixth grade badlands. Devils that we were in Junior High, under the guidance of Miss amosy (Briggs) we presented a “HISTORY OF STAMFORD to the school library. We found the history of Delaware County very fascinating especially the trip we made to Delhi, the County seat. Preparing for eighth grade regents, Miss Ormis- ton ( Valley) was always there to give a willing hand. During eighth grade, taking time out from studies, we formed an eighth grade chorus under Mr. Batson’s direction. We pro- gressed; in fact, we were even asked to participate in the Baccalaureate services in June. In 1947, the Class of ’51, thirty eager freshmen, entered high school with our eyes wide open, and ready for anything (but homework!). To preside over the class, we chose Dick Sil- vcmail. President; Bessie Titus, Vice President, Pat Terrell, Secretary, and Joyce Barkley, Treasurer. Student Council representatives were Peggy Caouette and Dev Demarcst and adviser, Mr. Beanies. During our first year we lost William Laux, Jess Vinson, Harold Kniskern, Henry Moshier, Marion Oakley and Carole Langdon (promoted) but to take their places Ruth Odell, Barbara Clapper and Joan Benjamin joined us. To have at least a “drop in the bucket” for our Senior trip we sponsored a spaghetti supper and a bake sale. As Sophomores, we welcomed Joan Lc Roy and Peggy Rose, but the departure of George Duncan, Ruth Odell, Barbara Clapper, and Joan Benjamin saddened us. ith twenty-eight pupils and $13.97 in our treasury, we again chose Dick Silver- nail. President; and Dev Demarcst, Vice President; Pat I omp- kins. Secretary; and Joyce Barkley, I reasurer, to assist him. Student Council representatives were Ruth Beers and Pat Terrell with Miss Schillaci, adviser. After sponsoring a dona- tion card party and selling Christmas cards, our treasury rose to $202.96. Our Junior year found some new faces in the classroom. These belonged to John Bentz, Norma Schwettmann, and Theodore Masc. It was with great regret that the following left us: Clayton DuBois, Marvin Oakley, Jack F.klund (pro- moted) and Peter Hooks (promoted), Peggy Rose, and Theo- dore Masc. Despite these losses we numbered twenty-seven. For President we chose Ruth Beers; Vice President, Jerome Parys; Secretary, Peggy Caouette; Treasurer, Joyce Barkley; Adviser, Miss Schillaci, and Student Council representatives, Pat Terrell and Dick Silvcmail. We selected rose and green as class colors, the yellow rose as our flower, and our motto SUCCESS GOMES ONLY FROM TRYING. March rolled around and our class rings finally were here. The main event of the year was held May 19, 1950, from 9:00 to 1:00—What was it?—naturally the JUNIOR PROM with Dick Silvernail and Ruth Beers reigning from the throne. With a “Moonlight and Roses theme, Joan Lc Roy, Margie Miller, John Bentz, and Dev Demarcst also shared the lime- light as attendants. The proceeds from selling stationer)’, a radio raffle, and a skating party amounted to $400 to begin our Senior year. Speaking of tradition, twenty-two pupils entered the same 208, as we had as Sophomores and Juniors. Election was held, and to lead us in our most important year, and to our destina- tion, the Senior trip to Washington, we chose Margie Miller as President; Vice President, John Bentz; Secretary, Bessie Titus; Treasurer, Joyce Barkley and advisers, Mrs. Graig and Mr. Appleby. Student Council representatives were Pat Ter- rell, Dick Silvernail, and Ruth Beers was elected President of the Student Council. Results of our magazine subscription sales in September in- creased our treasury by $369.68. ith Joan Lc Roy in the lead of “AUNT MARTHA MARCHES ON” our three act play netted us $127. Other activities held were a Harvest dance, bake sales, skating parties, card party and a donkey basketball game. March 23, 1951, finally arrived and the biggest event of our Senior year occurred, our trip to Washington and New ork. After seeing ail the sights, and losing nobody on the way, we all arrived home Thursday, March 29, tired, but happy. On Friday, April 13, 1951. our Senior Ball was held. Nobody fell off a iadder, and in our beautifully decorated auditorium, our Senior Ball proved to be a success. With graduation slated as June 25, 1951, it looks as if we’ll each be choosing our road in the future. Some to farms, others to jobs or college. We’ll all remember the fun we’ve had to- gether in our “school days” at S. C. S.

On November 11, at 8:15 P.M., the curtain rose and the Senior Class of 1951 presented their annual 3-act play called, “Aunt Martha Marches On.” To those who saw' the play, they probably went home with this story in mind. Aunt Martha was a conserva- tive old maid living in the small town of Grundy Cen- ter. She w as bringing up her niece and nephew, Paula and Gilbert. She has spoiled them so that they want to do nothing but spend money, and they think that she must give them everything they want. One day she was looking for her brooch, and she comes to the conclu- sion that Gilbert has stolen it. W hen Paula enters with her best friend, Annette Thompson, to sec if Aunt Martha will get her a dress at an exclusive New York shop instead of from the local dressmaker. Miss Lena Cummings, Aunt Martha refused her. Then w hen Gil- P. Terrell, J. Barkley, J. Le Roy 18 bert enters to secure more money from her, she comes to the conclusion that she has not raised them up right and decides to put a stop to it. She makes Gilbert con- fess that he stole the brooch, and he admits that it was to pay some gambling debts that he made. W ith the money left over he had Iniught a sweepstakes ticket in her name. She is so angry that she threatens to send Gilbert to jail for stealing if he doesn’t return the brooch in two months’ time. She also informs them that from now on they have to get a job, pay room and board, or find some other place in which to live. As she is about to leave the room, a telegram arrives telling her about her winning $100,000 in the sweepstakes. I his money brings a sudden change in Aunt Martha. She no longer wears old-fashioned dresses and hair styles, but instead blossoms oui and becomes the center of attraction in Grundy Center. She is asked to attend social gatherings, church affairs, and dinners. Even Mrs. Thompson and Mrs. Pitts, the social leaders of Grundy Center, ask her to join their club and attend a dinner in honor of two newcomers to the town. This brings us to the arrival of Mr. Burton, a widower, and his son and daughter, Austin and Nancy. Mr. Burton is a real estate promoter working against the law. He hears about Aunt Martha’s good fortune and decides to fleece her out of her money bv starting a fake real estate deal. But with the help of I itus Titmouse, the town’s news- paper man. Aunt Martha finds out about this fake dealing and promises herself that she w ill get a confes- sion from Mr. Burton himself. When she confronts him with the truth, he tries to talk himself out, but is stopped by his son and daughter who tell the truth of how they have made iheir living for vears. They sav that they arc tired of this false living; that they want to settle down and get married. You sec, by this time, Paula and Gilbert have become interested in Nancy and Austin. W'ith this cncouragcm � nt, Mr. Burton asks Aunt Martha to take a chance on him and marry him.

If you should chance to meet one of these smiling students in the hall, you’d recognize him right away. Each student has a smile and a friendly greeting for everyone. Whether you arc a Freshman, Sophomore, or Senior, the salutation holds the same value. Under the leadership of Robert Smith as our President and Adviser Miss l.ani Ghee, the stu- dent of the Junior Class have w hole-heartedly helped to obtain money for our goal, The Sen- ior Trip.” Other officers who are helping us along the pathw ay arc: Vincent Ruggiero, Vice President; Betty Shaw, Secretary; Carl Sher- man, Treasurer; and also our Student Council members, Lois Kaptcina and Timothy Ger- mond. Some of the activities which have helped to contribute toward the trip include our monthly bake sale, the selling of Christmas cards and stationery. Like other Juniors before, the Class of ’52 turned salesmen for a few weeks after the mid- dle of September. The gross net w hich w e made from the salc_ of Christmas cards was a little over $80. Stationery sales helped to increase the money in our treasury. During our first month at school w e ordered our class rings. For the first time in a great many years w e obtained the rings from a com- pany other than Balfour. Both of these compa- nies were represented here when we finally chose the Academy Award from Jostcns. Al- though this ring did not have the school em- blem, it has a new feature which other rings do not have, the initials have been written on the outside. The rings from both were nice and it took some time for us to choose one. We received them in November and the excitement, 1 am sure, w as something w hich every Junior before us has experienced. For a few days af- terwards everyone went around w ith his head in the air, but it soon came down after the excitement gradually subsided. Plaas for the Junior Prom w ere well under way and it was decided to center the decorations around a Hawaiian theme, using the class colors of yellow, green and orchid. Everyone looked forward to this highlight of the year’s activities ties which culminated in the crowning of the King and Queen. We, as a class, are looking ahead to our Senior year w ith stars in our eyes and a feeling of won- der that is beyond expressing. Each individual of the Class of ’52 is looking forward to the Senior trip and graduation, w'hcn we shall fin- ally leave the halls of Stamford to the oncoming Seniors. We hope that the present Sophomores will have the same feeling of joy and success that we have had. 22 How simple life can be.” SOPHOMORES First row: L. Lyon, J. Sackctt, S. Anderson, L.

Plat ing better ball than any other season since we started soccer in 1948, we lost only two games, both to Grand Gorge, finishing the season in second place. By a team vote at the close of the season, Kearn Bucl and Bob Utter were elected honorary captains for the season. The next major sport was basketball. Eighteen boys vent out for the team and all of them stayed on it—eleven on Javvec and seven on Varsity. The Varsity first five were: R.G., Robert Utter; L.G., Vincent Ruggiero; C, Robert Smith; R.F., Tim Germond; F.F., Kearn Buel. On Jayvcc the first five were. R.G., Ken- neth Du Bois; L.G., Richard Beers; C, Adrian Breen; R.F., Edward Cook; and L.F., George Brooks. Score points of the Varsity for the season were as follows: K. Buel 83. V. Ruggiero 64, R.

Ruth Beers. Constance Fngclkc. and Patncia Terrell represented Stamford Central School at the Delaware Giunry Student Council meet- ings Stamford acted as host to this group on February 15. using for each school which was represented a United Nations theme. An ex- change of students was approved at this meet- ing ami Stamford Central School participated in this activity by exchanging four high school students with another school. No Student Council can prove profitable unie� the student body will accept this organization as a place to view their problems and state their opinions. I he Student Council hopes they have reached this goal. NATIONAL HONOR SOCIETY Truth and Justice will prevail P. Terrell, R. Aroca, J. Barkley. P. Caouette, R. Beers, M. Miller, J. LeRoy, absent. Many years before the National Honor So- ciety was established, the hard working pupils who kept working at their books and assumed much leadership in school received very little encouragement and attention in their school davs. Only athletics and debating societies re- ceived the attention and high praises which should have gone to the others as well. The National I lonor Society of the Stamford Central School is a member of the Oquago Chapter. It was organized to encourage the pupils to keep up their scholastic average, to be better citizens in school and community, to have the ability of leadership, to try to improve the pupils character and to stimulate the desire to render services to the school. The requirements for membership for this or- ganization arc scholarship, service, leadership and character. To be a member of this organi- zation, the pupil must have spent at least one year in the Stamford Central School. Junior and Senior class members arc eligible if they have an average of 85 per cent. Probationary members mav be chosen from the Sophomore class if they satisfy all of the requirements. The executive committee shall consist of the faculty council and the officers of the chapter. All of the activities w hich the organization may choose must be approved by the principal. The present members of the National Honor Society arc: Peggy Caouette, President; Ruth Beers, Vice President; Miss A. Schillaci, Treas- urer; Joan Le Roy, Secretary; Pat Terrell, Joyce Barkley, Margie .Miller and Rita Aroca. The faculty council for the Honor Society arc: Mrs. J. Craig, Chairman; Mr. P. Waterman, Mr. I.. Warner, Miss M. Hamilton, Miss A. Schillaci and Mr. L. Adair. This chapter conducts its meetings according to “Robert’s Rules of Order.” 35 COMMERCIAL JOURNALISM With all its gallant crew” First row: Mr. Adair, E. Smith. B. North, P. Caouctte, E. Kelsey, N.

The Commercial Journalism Club was started this vear with approximately seventeen mem- bers. The editor-in-chief of the paper was chosen by the high school students. The editor elected was Rita Aroca. Other officers of the club were: Literary Editor— Laura Lyon, Busi- ness Manager—Peggy Caouctte, Assistant Busi- ness Manager—Bette North, and Typing Edi- tor—Joan Le Roy. Miss Agostina Schillaci and Mr. Leonard Adair were our club advisers. Our theme for all of our school papers was cen- tered around the different holidays of each month. Before each issue of the paper was published, the staff would have to meet and decide who was going to write the articles for each issue. After this the editor would have to hand out the assignments and set a deadline for all of the material to be written. Then followed the typ- R. Aroca, P. Caouette, B. North. ing of the stencils and the running off of them. The hardest job w as the putting together of the school paper. This took a lot of patience and with the help of the staff members it was easily done. Each month we would take a different person from each upper class and write on his or her life. These persons usually consisted of the class presidents and the Student Council Presi- dent. The writing of this article brought about a closer relationship among the students. VVe exchanged school newspapers with other schools from the surrounding areas. We got ideas from other schools on how to improve our paper. This also brought about a more friendly attitude with the other schools. In every issue of the newspaper, we would put two or three pictures in for the lower grades to color. A coloring contest was held at the beginning of the year for the younger grades. The contest was the coloring of pictures, and whoever colored the pictures the best would w in the prize. Around Christmas time, a high school contest was held. The contest was the making of an many words as possible from the words, “Christmas Around Our School. Both of these contests proved very successful for the w hole student body. The Commercial Journalism Club and their ad- visers are to be congratulated on their efforts and hard work in making the school paper one of the best Stamford Central has ever had.

Due to the large number who signed up in the club, it was divided into two sections with advisors Mrs. Graig and Mr. Adair. To preside over thirty-eight dramatically inspired students Robert Utter was chosen President with Ruth Cook, Vice Presi- dent; Pat Terrell, Secretary; and Helen Bettiol, Treasurer to assist him. In order to cover the expense of purchasing play books and makeup, dues were set at 25 cents a semester. Naturally, the main duty of the Dramatics Club is to provide experience in acting for all members. This year we presented two one-act plays in assemblies. One was “Quiet Home Wedding” and the other “Candy Goes on a Diet.” Three Dramatics Club members took pan in our annual Christmas program. Bessie Titus read a Bible selection; Edna Theisselmann and Geneva Jones gave Christmas readings. In order to give more mcml ers the experience in acting before a group, several skits were drama- tized at club meetings. Another imponant phase of the field of dramatics is “behind the scenes,” or backstage. .Much effort went into teaching stu- dents juvenile and character makeup. This proved profitable when our Dramatics Club members took charge of makeup for the Senior Play. Stress is also placed on sound effects, stage light- ing and prompting. A production may prove a complete failure if backstage work isn’t organized. Through club membership many have developed their affection for drama . . . although we don’t expect to see our names on Broadway “in lights,” we have gained much dramatic knowledge this year. We do have one member planning to go into profes- sional drama, and we wish to extend our best wishes to Bessie Titus. Many of us will, no doubt, have more chances to partici- pate in amateur productions and through our dramatic experi- ences in high school we shall have learned to appreciate good drama. 37 P.

The Music Department includes some of the most important activities in S.C.S. This year brought success to the department with Mr. Feter De Lucca as our new band and chorus director and Mrs. Constance Reed again in- structing grade vocal music. The Senior band was organized with a mem- bership of 43 students ranging from grades 7- 12. The group entertained at many assem- blies and at all league basketball games, add- ing spirit and pep. They took part in several parades, including Halloween and Memorial Day. Participation in two concerts, the winter concert held December 20, 1950 and the spring concert held April 27, 1951, proved to be very entertaining and enjoyable to all attending. They also participated in the spring state com- petition and did a fine job. With a membership of 40 students from grades 8- 12, the mixed chorus spent a successful year. Like the band, this group participated in many of the school activities throughout the year. The Junior Band consisted of children from the 4th grade up who were just starting on in- struments. The purpose of this group was to train for the Senior Band. When these people qualify, they enter Senior Band and will, along with other beginners, make up our future band. The band did a fine job in the spring concert. The Junior High Chorus was made up mainly of students from the 7th and 8th grades, al- though a few who weren’t in the Mixed Cho- rus took part. This group performed at both concerts, doing fine work at both. The Grade Chorus consisted of students from the 4th, 5th, and 6th grades. These children gave up their noon hour to practice and sang two part music. By participation in the two concerts, they proved their capability of becoming the future musicians of S.C.S. An assembly sponsoring the Hartwick College Radio Choir was presented February 6 by the Music Department. Students from the 3rd grade up attended. This assembly proved both enjoyable and educational to all,who attended. The Winter Concert held December 20 proved to be one of the most successful performances ever sponsored by the Music Department. Tickets were sold by all music students and a prize of five dollars was given to Dorothea Steffan for selling the most tickets. A profit of $158 was made w hich was used primarily for the purchase of new' instruments. The concert opened w ith a processional led by the Junior Chorus carrying lighted candles followed by the Grade Chorus all singing “Hark the Herald Angels Sing.” The Grade Chorus presented their part in the program follow ed by the Jun- ior Chorus and the Senior Chorus after which there was a ten minute intermission. The band then presented their part and the entire depart- ment presented “Christmas Melody. This w as the grand finale and was arranged for band and chorus by Mr. DeLucca. It opened w ith an introduction by the band after which the Mixed Chorus sang “White Christmas.” The Grade and Junior Choruses then sang “Ru- dolph the Red-Nosed Reindeer” and the ar- rangement terminated with the combined de- partment presenting “We Wish You A Merry Christmas.” CLASS OF 1950 Gone but not forgotten First row: M.
