Stamford Central School - Voice Yearbook (Stamford, NY)

Text from Pages 1 - 88 of the 1952 volume:

Although Delhi always favored The Delaware waters blue, And the boys and girls of Hobart To the valleys they are true, We will own the mountains’ splendor And in glory they'll delight. While old Stamford stands defender Of the Purple and the White. Through the four long years of high schot Midst the scenes we see revolve, And the problems in our studies, We daily seek to solve, Or we win athletic vict’ries On the baseball field so bright, Still we work for dear old Stamford And the Purple and the White. As the cares of life o’ertake us, Wearing fast our lives away, Should our dearest hopes betray us, And opponents hold the sway, Still we’ll banish care and sadness And our hearts with joy grow light, Thinking of those days of gladness 'Neath the Purple and the White.

Gloria Baker The student governing body is an organization of students in grades seven through Mathematics twelve, and they are elected by their classes to develop student responsibility, initiative and school pride; to promote worthy citizenship training, to provide a means for youth expression, and to promote school welfare and student cooperation. Meetings were held on Tuesday every week. The Student Council of Stamford Central School this year was led by Timothy Ger- mond, who was elected by vote of the student body. Other officers who were chosen to assist him were: Vice President, Robert Utter; Secretary, Doris Kerr; Treasurer, Lois Kapteina; Advisors, Miss Baker, Mr. Slentz. The Student Council again sponsored a West Point Trip. The trip was made October 27 to see the football game between Columbia and Army. A Point System committee under the leadership of Robert Utter, issued school letters to all high school students meeting the qualifications. This year after a student reaches the required number of points he is to have a chance to receive an addition bar by securing another set of required points. The Finance Committee headed by Janet Bailey, sold book covers with the school emblem on them, tablets, paper, erasers, rulers, and pencils as the main money making project for the council. Mary Newman was the Assembly Program chairman for the year. Among the assem- blies that were scheduled were five Antrim Bureau Programs, dramatics plays. Freshman initiation, music programs, Pep rallies, teacher assembly, prize speaking, exchange assemblies with other schools, Honor Society, and a Christmas pageant. Ushers for assemblies were chosen from the Student Council. The Lost and Found department proved to be successful under the committee of Ed- ward Cook and Thomas Wickham. The committee established a place where all articles were to be placed when they were found until claimed for. Among other activities that the council engaged in were purchasing the cheerleaders ’ uniforms and furnishing the cheerleaders money to buy the opposing squad refreshments. A World Friendship Campaign which was well supported by the students was also sponsored by the council. The council purchased a Soccer Trophy for the school, as the team won the league title and the semi-finals. The council again became a member of the National Asso- ciation of Student Councils. The council received from the Coke company line-up sheets, which were used at the home basketball encounters, and also set up an announcing system to be used at the gym for basketball games. Membership pins were ordered for the present Council members. Two main events sponsored by the council were a basketball game between the faculty and students as a money raising project. The James M. Cole circus held in March was another special event sponsored by the council. This was the first time anything of this kind was presented and it proved a great success. The Student Council sponsored the school news column in the local paper. The com- mittee that handled this, composed of Mary Newman, Doris Kerr and Robert Utter. The Student Council proved to have a very successful year and we hope to have cleared up some of the problems brought to us by the student body. We hope next year’s council will have as much success as we have had. 10 VLVoayantna Seated: Laura Lyon, Literary Editor; Celia Mattice, Art Editor; Nancy Gilder- sleeve, Bettye Trowbridge, Co-Editors; Rita Aroca, Mimeograph; Betty Shaw, Business Editor.

C. S. in grades nine through twelve elect the editor of their school newspaper, The Utsayantha News. This year the student body was very fortunate in having an able slate from which to choose. Nancy Gildersleeve, their selec- tion, has proved her ability, re- sourcefulness and patience in each of the five issues of the Utsayantha News printed this year. Willie Mae Gordon and Lawrence Appleby, advisers, helped make these issues suc- cessful.

Thus it went each Wednesday afternoon amid the clack-clack of the typewriters. The staff of the Utsayantha News hopes that the student body enjoyed reading each issue as much as they enjoyed pro- ducing them. Memories of “The Pryer”, Kenneth Peck’s punches in the Sport Column, “The Scratch Pad”, the emotions of the editorials, and the nostalgia of the Grade News, will all undoubtedly live in the hearts of many a student at S. C. S. for many years to come. As the last issue for the year goes to the morgue; a hearty salute to the Utsayantha News. Willie Mae Gordon Commercial FIRST ISSUE SUCCESSFUL The first issue of the school newspaper had as its theme, Halloween, and proved its worth to school spirit and to the journalistic world. Each succeeding pro- duction had an interesting them such as Christmas, Lincoln, Washington, Valentine, Easter, and the May issue dedicated it- self to a general view of the school year 1951-52. The staff felt that their efforts deserved having the paper judged in the Inter- scholastic Rating by Columbia University. The motto of the staff has been: How can we make the better best? The answer to the question is found in the results of their effort. 11 J0ioccet Front Row: G. Churchill, G. Longin, C. Harris, R. Hall, E. Cook, F. Jacobs, K. DuBois, B. Jones, G. VanBuren.

The Stamford Indians had the most successful season in the history of this sport in our school. As this was only the fourth year our school played soccer, this team will no doubt be remembered as the best. Our school plays in the Delaware County League which is in Section IV. Of the six league games Stam- ford came out with a record of 2 wins, 1 loss, and 3 ties. Our 2 wins were at the hands of Roxbury 7-3, and Grand Gorge 3-2. The ties were with Roxbury 1-1, South Kortright 1-1, and Grand Gorge 2-2. Our only loss came at the hands of South Kortright 6-3. Our record was identical with that of Grand Gorge and a play off for the league title was necessary. October 25 was set as the date and Roxbury the site for the playoff. It was a hard fought game all the way, and at the end of regulation time the score stood 2-2 and remained the same at the end of two over time periods. Following regulations the Indians were victorious as they scored two field goals to one for Grand Gorge. This enabled the Indians to represent the Delaware County League in sectional play. The first game of the sectionals was played October 30 at Middleburg against Cobleskill who had not been defeated for the last two seasons. The Indians scored a stunning 2-1 upset by beating Cobleskill. After a five minute overtime the two teams each sent eight men to the penalty mark, and Stamford edged Cobleskill 4-2. This gave the Indians the right to play McGraw in the Section IV final, which was held November 10 at Neahwa Park, in Oneonta before a crowd of approximately two hundred fans. It was a well fought game but Stamford lost to McGraw 2-1.

Florence Dikeman Basketball The Stamford Indians completed a fairly successful season in the 1951-52 season, winning six out of sixteen games and three out of ten league games. The Indians ended the season in fifth place. This season marked the end of the high school careers of four seniors: Timothy Germond, Vincent Ruggiero, Carl Sherman, and Robert Smith. High scoring individual on the Varsity was Timothy Germond with 195 points and a .301 shooting average. Best shooting average was marked by Kenneth DuBois who posted a .354 average and scoring 111 points. Robert Smith gathered in the most rebounds and had a 10.3 average per game. The Big Three in Varsity scoring were Germond 195, Ruggiero 120, and DuBois with 111. The Indians’ opponents scored a total of 733 points, against 657 points for the Indians. The starting five for the Indians were L. F. 5’11” Timothy Germond, R.F. 5’8” Captain Robert Utter, C. 6’2” Robert Smith, L. G. 5’8” Vincent Ruggiero and R. G. 5’9” Carl Sherman. The height average of the Indians was a big factor in some of the close games which the Indians lost during the course of the season. Individual high night of the year was witnessed by Timothy Germond who scored 28 points against Downsville on January 25th. Vincent Ruggiero had 19 points at Delhi on February 1st to top his season’s scoring. The Varsity held two victories over Grand Gorge, and Downsville, and one over Delhi and Andes. The Indians have absorbed double defeats at the hands of Roxbury, South Kortright, Walton and Margaretville, and dropped one each to Andes and Delhi. The Indian Junior Varsity, ended the season with a season’s record of five wins and eleven losses. The starters on the 1951-52 edition of the Stamford Junior Varsity were: L. F. Richard Beers, R. F. James Moore, C. Kenneth Peck, L. G. Neil Jones, and R. G. Gordon Churchill. High scoring individual was Kenneth Peck with 119 points and a .364 shooting average and Richard Beers was next with a 3.04 shooting average and 110 points. Other starters scoring totals were: James Moore 78, Neil Jones 42 and Gordon Churchill 59. Kenneth Peck held rebound honors with a 9.1 rebound game average. Neil Jones was next with a 6.8 average per game. Kenneth Peck also held individual game average honors with 17 points scored against Roxbury, November 21st. The Junior Varsity were victorious over South Kortright twice, Roxbury twice and over Grand Gorge once. S. Utter, H. Bettiol, M. Moore, M. Buhl. ADULTS junior Ikesity iSeattL- First Row: G.

Effie Winn Vocal Instructor With worshipful attitude these vocal music devotees led approxi- mately seventy-five choristers, girls and boys from grades four through twelve, in a candle-lit processional which drew considerable comment from the audience gathered last De- cember 15 to hear the annual Win- ter Concert. The theme of the vocal program was “The First Christmas,” told in songs and readings. Besides Commencement music, the second term plans will include an operetta, Otis M. Carrington’s “Lady Frances.” about which the girls are very enthusiastic. Some time will be devoted to State Contest music; several of Stamford’s out- standing vocalists may participate. 26 B.

The Music Department of the Stamford Central School began their 1951-52 school year with the acquisition of new uniforms for the Concert Band. Our unit was eager to continue where we left off last year when we received the fine rating of “B” classifi- cation in Grade IV music in the New York State Music Competition at Catskill, New York. We were equally happy that Mr. Peter DeLucca was back again to direct us and we hoped that we could continue to progress under his direction. Our first goal was the county festival at Delhi. The All County Band had 14 Stamford musicians and no less than 9 of these had solo chairs. It is of greater note that Bob Smith played solo horn in the All County Orchestra and Mary Newman was selected by the music teachers of Delaware County to be the cornet soloist with the Orchestra. After the county festival we settled down to preparation for our Winter Concert in December. A huge crowd witnessed a superb performance by the Concert Band and was thrilled to observe Mr. Walter Whybrew, Professor of Music at Hartwick College, per- form as guest conductor. Mr. Whybrew praised the band, the community, and Mr. DeLucca for the fine work that he has done with us. After Christmas we started our series of performances at home basketball games. The remaining schedule for 1952 has a concert for April 4th, the New York State Competition on May 10, the Memorial Day parade, and finally the Graduation Exercises at Commencement. The Junior Band had 34 members who contributed to a successful Stamford School musical year. This band is also directed by Mr. DeLucca. The unit performed in both of the Music Departments Concerts playing Grade I and II music. The enthusiastic re- ception they received is small credit to the remarkable progress and ability of the unit. Several assemblies in the grade school saw the Junior Band playing the initial cere- monies. The band participated in the annual Halloween Parade. The members meet twice a week to rehearse. The purpose of the organization is preparation for the Con- cert Band. The Stamford Central School Band was honored this year to have its Solo cornetist, Mary Newman, accepted for the New York State High School Band. Auditions were held simultaneously throughout the state to select members. The musicians were notified of their appointment and assigned positions for a performance at the Eastman Theater in Rochester, New York. The concert was di- rected by the celebrated conductor, Morton Gould. On this music page we honor Mary, a sophomore, and wish her continued success 29 (jrtrU (jrradc ({IK or us First Row: M.

The club, however, operates as one unit, under the leadership of Mr. Robert Slentz. The Beginners’ group has learned how to use the equipment in the dark room to develop, print, and enlarge photographs. Mrs. Kelly also taught us how to tint pic- tures.

This year the Dramatics Club which is composed of students interested, not only in the presentation of plays; but also in the backstage management and planning, which are necessary for the success of any drama. We elected Doris Kerr, president, and Mr. Leonard Adair and Mrs. Margaret Graig, Advisers. Our first dramatic presentations be- fore a student assembly were two one-act plays entitled, “A Slave With Two Faces” and “Circumstances Alter Cases”. Both plays were an attempt to break away from the usual type of farce which the club had been presenting. Exchange assemblies were tentatively scheduled with other schools. In April we presented two one-act plays, “The Youngest” and “Jazz and Minuet” at South Kortright. Last year in the spring, the Juniors and Seniors attended a two-day Dramatics Festival held at Cortland State Teachers College. We are planning to attend again this year with as many members as possi- ble. This will close our year’s activities and we have already adopted a plan suggest- ed by our vice-president Robert Utter, to present those who have participated in plays for several years with a gold pin which can be worn on their school letter.

The Queen’s crown was made of the class flower, Vanda Orchids, while the King was crowned in the traditional gold. Souvenirs consisted of a lei and Vanda Orchid per couple. The orchids were sent directly irom Hawaii. The music for the evening was furnished by the Goldin and York Orchestra. The members of the orchestra cooperated by consenting to wear white shirts and light colored trousers with a lei around their necks, in keeping with the Hawaiian theme. A novelty Hawaiian punch and cake served during the evening were enjoyed by all. The annual Junior Prom of the Stamford Central School was held on Friday, May 18, 1951 from 9 to 1 in the school auditorium. A Hawaiian theme was m a carried out in the decorations. A glowing moon, f A shining stars, palm trees and hula girl silhouettes H aided in giving the auditorium an outdoor and lal tropical effect. Dancing took place in a large hut JSg situated in the center of the auditorium. The hut was constructed of crepe paper in the class colors, dark green, yellow and orchid. As in previous years V the main event was the crowning of the King and W Queen whose identity was kept secret until the time of the crowning. Celia Mattice and Robert Smith were chosen as king and queen. Attendants were Rita Aroca, Janet Baseball First Row: R. Beers, C. Harris, K. DuBois, E. Cook, R. Beers. Second Row: Coach Sanders, R. Utter, G. Brooks, K. Peck, T. Germond, T. Mur- phy, C. Parys. The Stamford Indians had a successful season in 1951 with the highlight of the campaign an undefeated season of league play. The Indians won league encounters with two wins over Davenport and South Kortright, and with a perfect 4 and 0 record to take the Section I title. Outside of the league Stamford’s record was not at all impressive but they were playing squads which were a lot stronger not only in man power but in the size of the school. Here they gleaned a 2-7 mark with wins over Jefferson and Delhi. In capturing the section title Stamford amassed a total of 52 runs for an aver- age of 13 per game. They limited their opponents to 13 runs or 3.3. per contest. The offensive attack was led by Timothy Germond with an average of .465 while he and Robert Utter shared mound duty. Germond represented Stamford in the annual all- star game at Cooperstown. The starters in the sectional finals were: infielders; Kenneth Peck, Robert Utter, Kenneth DuBois, and George Brooks. The outfielders were: Robert Beers, Richard Beers and Neil Jones. Battery Mates were Timothy Germond, pitcher and Edward Cook, catcher. Other team members were: Clifford Harris, Thomas Murphy and Charles Parys. Tumbling, back-flips, back- bends, head stands, pyramids, cart wheels, hand stands and other types of activity high- lighted the indoor sports pro- gram. Mramutale Austin, H. Bettiol, R. Smith, M.

Shelmandine Accompaniment by Hanneke Boogh In September the class of 1953, which consists of twenty-seven students elected Constance Engelke president and chose Miss Barbara Lachner as their adviser. Two Student Council representatives Doris Kerr and Robert Utter were also very carefully selected. Outstanding among our activities was the Junior T. V. Show held in February centering around the theme a typical evening on television. Other activities sponsored were our monthly bake sales, card parties and skating parties. Later we undertook a Harvest Hoedown and a Christmas card sales campaign. All of these netted us a size- able amount towards our Senior Trip. Highlighting the social events of the year was our Junior Prom with it’s main theme and decorations centered around Cinderella’s Garden using the class colors. Late in January everyone was excited about the arrival of our class rings. We were well pleased with the variety of styles and displayed them with pride. We completed a successful year financially and with a feeling of satisfaction in our accomplishments. The success of the T. V. Show was celebrated by a party at the home of Thomas Murphy. 43 First Row: D. VanVliet, M. Meeghan, J. Newman, Treasurer; A. Harwood, Secretary; J. Sackett, M. Peck, President; S.

Starting the year under the capable leadership of their newly elected president, Marilyn Peck, the Library Council held their meetings once a week during the activitiy period. The purpose of this club is, of course, to acquaint students with library work. Along this line, a plan was devised whereby each member signed out books one period a week. The twenty-one members were then divided into small groups, so that they could learn how to accession and catalog books. Story hours and parties were held throughout the year. Outstanding among these was the Halloween Story Hour when “Sooky” VanVliet dressed up as a rabbit to tell her story. Last year’s Council visited the Franklin D. Roose- velt Memorial Library at Hyde Park in the spring as well as the Vanderbilt Mansion. This year’s group will make similar plans ending their years activities with a picnic or party in May. 195 1 First Row: R. Silvernail, R. Beers, G. Jones, J. Barkley, P. Terrell, R. Cook, C. Simmons.
