NANCY GILDERSLEEVE ELECTED EDITOR Each fall the students of S. 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. HEADACHES ASPIRINS DEADLINES Nominations for Editor in order! ..Nancy Gildersleeve elected..shall we continue to call it “Utsayantha News ? ..tradition wins. Any suggestions for new columns ?...Mr. “A” says no initials in the gossip column.. Celia will have to fill this column in with a picture...Mrs. Gordon says: Watch those typing errors! ...Who did this stencil? There must be some material for new stories...the typing eraser is missing again...When shall we sell, on Tuesday or Wednesday? ..Net Profit $12.50..Arleen, don’t forget to mail the exchange issues. 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

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

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.
