Stamford Central School - Voice Yearbook (Stamford, NY)

Text from Pages 1 - 84 of the 1953 volume:

Published BY The 1953 'YeArbooK St Aff StAMford CentrAl School O N September 6 Gilbert Longin, a Sophomore in Stamford Central School, wa s J stricken with the dreaded disease of infantile paralysis. Since the effects of this illness oftentimes prevent one from leading a normal life and achieving his goals, he should have the satisfaction of knowing that he has overcome this handi- cap to the extent he is continuing his education as we are here in Stamford Central. Because of his self-confidence, pleasing personality and the will to win, he has succeeded in proving to himself and his friends that one should never be a “Quit- ter.” Because he has shown to himself and to us that he possessed outstanding qualities in overcoming handicaps which we all must encounter in some form dur- ing our life, we would do well to accept the fine spirit shown by our schoolmate in meeting a great test in life. We miss you not only in the corridors at school, but also on the basketball court and in other activities of school, where you have won the friendship and ad- miration of many. With our sincere wishes to you, Gilbert, fora speedy recovery, we, the staff of “The Voice” of ’53, are proud to dedicate our yearbook to you. 2 CONTENTS ADMINISTRATION__ 5 STUDENT ORGANIZATIONS..... ; PATRONS_________________60 ADVERTISING______________6 flWctvorcf N today’s world of “hot” and “cold” wars, the United Nations presents the one hope for world peace. We have chosen this as our theme and followed it in portraying the year 1952-1953 of school life. Our dedication is slightly different this year, but we feel that Gilbert Longin deserves to be recognized for his fine spirit in overcoming his tremendous handicap. We have tried to present a clear, concise picture of life at S. C. S. during the past year. Many events could not, of course, be recorded in this book; but we believe that the most important are included in these pages. As part of a member nation of the United Nations, we would like to express our hope that this year’s graduating class maybe instrumental in securing the objective, for which the U. N. is striving--peace on earth. 4 TYPING YEARBOOK CO-EDITORS Doris Kerr, Edna Theisselmann ADVERTISING Martha Churchill, Shirley Burdick Cf|?E, the Staff, would like yV to express our grati- tude to the following people for their aid in making this book possible: to Mr. Lamont Warner for doing the Patron page, to Mr. Lawrence Apple- by for his verses for each mem- ber of the Senior Class, to Mr. Herman Golfetto, our very able photographer, for his excellent pictures, and especially to Mrs. Margaret Graig, our adviser, for making this book possible by her expert guidance; also to everyone who has in any way helped make our task lighter.

Waterman 7J S these words are written, the last feverish efforts of your _yi Yearbook Staff and their adviser are directed toward meeting the publication deadline, only a few days hence. Among their minor worries is the tardiness of the principal in turning in his “copy.” With the book now in your hands, you have the evidence of the fruit of their labors, the record of another school year, and the story of another senior class about to launch into new experiences. For any senior class, the United Nations theme is most ap- propriate. Looking back over the many incidents and events and work of the last four years, seniors will count both successes and failures. A little reflection is likely to reveal that the successes came about when class members engaged co-operatively with each other, with teachers and with other persons. Some have learned well the lessons of united action, involving a tempering of per- sonal desires and feelings, patience with those in opposition, res- pect for those in authority, willingness to examine others points of view, courage to take a stand for the common good, and the keeping of one’s sights on the goals of the group. These qualities will be valuable in your future years. And they are sorely needecLby our country as it faces the threat of Com- munist aggression. The effectiveness of our leaders in bringing about some world order will perhaps be greatly influenced by the degree to which we can eliminate disunity within our own ranks. My sincere wish for you is that you will take a place at the front with those in your communities who seek to banish intolerance and class hatred and to bring about understanding. 8 HIGH SCHOOL FACULTY James Crawford Industrial Arts t - ' S- Jte Martha Dayton Science 0 Leonard Adair English Virginia Dales Nurse Peter De Lucca Instrumental Music John Calvert Psychologist Gordon Dates Mathematics Willie Mae Gordon Commerce Doris Nolan Dental Hygienist Barbara Peters Home Economics Constance Reed Vocal Music At Grace Davenport Secretary Margaret Graig Library Martha Miller Dietician G J S Charles Sanders Physical Education Lamont Warner Art 9 Archie Gregory CUSTODIANS CT tf ?E cannot fail to recognize Archie Greg- yy ory, who left us last year due to poor health.

Cook C7-HE Student Council is the student governing body of the school, hence, one of the I most important of all its student organizations. It is composed of twelve members, including two seniors, two juniors, two sopho- mores, two freshmen, one eighth grader, and one representative from each of the two seventh grades. The president, Robert Utter, makes up the twelve. He is a senior, elected by the student body to this position. The other officers are as follows: Vice- President, Edward Cook; Secretary, Edna Theisselmann; Treasurer, Mary Newman; Advisers, Miss Hamilton and Mr. Crawford. These are elected by the Council. The first project of the year which the council sponsored was the S. C S. School Fair, held on September 23, 1952. This netted us sixty-nine dollars, which was added to the scoreboard fund. This main project came to an end when the new scoreboard arrived in the middle of November. The annual West Point trip took place on October 11, when a busload of students attended and enjoyed the Army-Dartmouth football game. The Student Council also bought an American flag and a flagpole, to be put on the auditorium stage. We sold school tablets, pencils, erasers, and added to our list of merchandise ball- point pens and new typewriter erasers. We also sold plastic glow-in-the-dark pennant pins with “Stamford” printed on them. School letters were again awarded to boys with 75 points on the Point System and girls with 65. Bars for boys and girls with an additional 10 points were also awarded. Several changes were made in the Point System and its by-laws. We believe that the Student Council does much good in and for the school. It is supported financially by the students, and in order to keep active, must be supported in every other way by them. If this is done, it will continue to do good and be an aid to both students and teachers. 12 UT5A 5 NJ THA NEW5 Seated: M. Barley, B. Henderson. D. Elwyn, E. Shelmandtne, B. Breen, M. Mowers, K.

This contest is sponsored by the Columbia Scholastic Press Association of which Stamford Central is a mem- ber. Last year the school was very proud of the third place rat- ing awarded to Utsayantha News in the senior high school mimeo- graphed duplicated magazines (less than 300 pupils) class. There were entries from all states and several foreign coun- tries, with 3520 student editors and reporters from 750 schools. The three-day conference in New York City was climaxed with a dinner address by Pres- ident Truman at the Waldorf- Astoria Hotel. The twenty members of the newspaper club meet once a week to discuss the problems re- lating to the publishing of the current issue of Utsayantha News. The club is able to meet ex- penses of publishing at least four issues a year with some help from school funds. There is us- ually enough money left to finance a dinner party and a trip through a newspaper plant. 13 £77'’HIS year, we, the staff of «JF the Utsayantha News, want to give our readers better and easier reading. We want to strive for more balance in our paper, that is, planning a paper that contains a specific amount of space for sports, editorials, literary articles, humor, puzzles, new items, etc. Our goal is meeting deadlines, following di- rections and striving for perfec- tion. The motto that keeps us in business is, “All the news that’s fit to print, and some that isn’t”. Advisers CONCERT BAND First Row: E. Theisselmaan, M. Shafer, J. Newman, M. Churchill, D. Steffan, P.

We were quite elated and anxious to uphold the “A” Rating in Grade IV received by the Band last year at State Contest. This year we are playing Grade V at Hudson, New York. Our director, Mr. Peter DeLucca, led us in our annual Winter Concert which drew a capacity audience in December. Earlier this year we performed for the Tri-County Teachers con- ference at the Oneonta State Teachers College. Our calendar for the school year included; basketball games, Memorial Day Parade, our Spring Concert, State Contest and then Grad- uation. ALL STATE ( Tj’OR the second year in succession Mary Newman, our solo cornetist has _ been appointed to the All State Band. Auditions for this group were held in Unadilla in October. Mary traveled to Buffalo and played cornet in the All State Organization, directed by Dr. William Revelli, of the University of Michigan. Congratulations to you, Mary-----continued good luck and thanks for the honor you have brought our school. 14 JUNIOR BAND First Row: B. Rogers. M. Bush. D. Frazee, D. Walling. Second Row: M. Reed. D.

We started to play in a group which met twice a week in November and we are planning to participate in the Annual Spring Concert, when we are included in the “Evening of Bands” program. We have hopes of entertaining the Junior Band next year to make way for another beginners group. 15 High School Chorus Cj“HE vocal department has enlarged and added several new groups this year. Choral groups at S.C.S. consist of the High School Mixed Chorus, Junior High Mixed Chorus. Grade Chorus, High School Choir and The Girls’ Quartet. Our activities for the year included: music for the Senior Play, Winter Concert, Spring Concert and Commencement. In addition to this we had a busy Christ- mas season. The Junior Chorus collected fruit for the Hospital and presented a program of carols for the Bathgate patients. The High School Mixed Cho- rus presented Fred Waring’s “The Song of Christmas” at an evening P. T. A. meeting on December 15th and repeated the performance on December 23rd for a student assembly. There are some two-hundred students participating in one or another of the vocal groups at S.C.S. Considering the fact that most of the groups were newly formed, we feel that we have had a profitable and enjoyable year. Quartet P. Waterman, A. VanDuscn, M. Tompkins, M. Newman. First Row; E.

To preside over the club we elected Edward Cook, President; with Priscilla Waterman Vice-President; Doris Kerr, secretary, and Bettye Trowbridge, Treasurer, to assist him in carrying out the plans for the club. The Adviser for the club is Mr. Leonard Adair. Due to the large group of students who enrolled, it was decided to divide the club into two groups. One group to be composed of students with previous dramatic experience and the other group for the beginners. To help Mr. Adair with the production of plays by the beginners group, there will be four student directors. These are: Bettye Trowbridge, Edna Theisselmann, Doris Kerr, and Robert Utter. The beginners group presented a one-act play, “Tub Trouble,” and the advanced group, “Wilbur Takes His Medicine.” These plays were both presented in an assembly program. This covers the first semester’s work for the club. During the second semester we went to Cortland State Teachers College to observe the 8th Annual Drama Festival. The festival is held on a weekend, giving a chance for students and adults to gain cultural and recreational art. We have now attended this festival for two years and we feel that it is very worthwhile both from the educational viewpoint and the enjoyment. The dramatics club issued drama pins to the members of the club who had received a school letter and had been in dramatics for two years. These were to be worn on the letters. 18 NATIONAL C i HIS year found Shirley Burdick, Con- J stance Engelke, Doris Kerr, Edna Theisselmann, Helen Bettiol and Mary New- man as members of the Honor Society. Our first act of service for the year was decor- ating the Christmas tree at the Bathgate Hospital. During the first semester the following members were tapped for membership: Kenneth Peck, Elaine Shelmandine, Martha Churchill, Mary Moore, and Priscilla Water- man. Two sophomores were elected as provisional members. They were Margaret Tompkins and Audrey Van- Dusen. All of the above people, in the es- timation of the members and the fac- ulty council possess the qualities of scholarship, service, leadership, and character, the basic factors in deter- mining eligibility for membership. Shirley Burdick was elected president for this year. The remaining officers will be elected when the above named candidates have been formally initiated into membership. PRIZE SPEAKING c I HIS year we had eleven speakers who participated in the local prize speaking contest. The speeches, seven to ten minutes in length, were grouped in the usual three types, humorous, dramatic and oratorical. The first prize winners in each group repre- sented our school in the semi-final contest which was held here this year. The selections are judged on dic- tion, preparation, poise, expression and interpretation. Seated: A. VaoDusen. J. Vamosy, J. Sackett. B. Henderson. Standing: L. Lyon, E. Theisselmann, R. Utter, K.

The membership was large, a total of sixteen girls joined and worked together to live up to their motto, “Learning to live better today in order that our lives and those of our families may be better tomorrow.’’ The officers of the club are: Mary Moore, President; Priscilla Waterman, Vice-President; Barbara Thiele, Secretary and June Saskett, Treasurer. 24 VARSITY BASKETBALL J.V BASKETBALL First Row: R. Cook. L. Tranvaag, B. Waterman, R. Page. Second Row: Coach Sanders, S. Breth, H. Simmons. D. Reed, P. Bouton. R. Wickham. C HE Stamford “Papooses” have suffered a fruitless campaign in this 1952-53 season win- ning one game while losing eight. The Jayvees have suffered greatly because of the man power shortage on the Varsity squad. Five men have been taken from the roster from time to time during the season. The seizure of Churchill, Reynard, VanBuren, Reed, and Bouton have greatly hampered the team. After this shake-up the starters have been Steve Breth, Harry Simmons, Robby Cook, Larry Tranvaag, and Paul Bouton. Substitutes have been Bruce Water- man, Dick Wickham, and Ray Page. The lack of experience has been the cause for the poor showing of the Stamford Juniors. All of the present squad are in their first year of basketball except Bouton. Any team without some veteran strength is bound to take a few beatings until they have gained the experience they need for the task of playing basketball. The Jayvees won from South Kortright and have lost their remaining games of the early season. This team will no doubt be playing together again next year with some possible exceptions. This should make the necessary experience for the Varsity squad in two years time. Stars are made and lost on the Jayvee squad. Who knows? Maybe one of these boys may turn out to be future stars for Stamford Central. We hope so. May God be with them! 27 28 BASE BALL First Row: W. Butts, Sanders. G. VanBuren. R. ’ch Sccond Row: Coach 'arys, V. Ruggiero. C f1 HE Stamford Indians completed the 1952 nOfl f baseball season with a very successful record of seven wins and four losses. V |__J II J The Indians, once again were successful in winning the league pennant for their school. V This ls the third pennant in four years that the Indians have won. Tim Germond, a senior hurled his team to the title with five victories, and Bob Utter suf- fered the only league loss at the hands of South Kortright, Ed Cook and Ken DuBois shared mound work. Ed Cook did the bulk of the catching. The 1952 Indians on the whole were a better squad than the 1951 team which also won the title. The statis- tics show that the Indians were less powerful but possessed a greater defense backed up by more solid pitch- ing power. The Indians infield was composed of Ed Cook, catching; Ken Peck at first base; Bob Reynard, at second; teaming with Ken DuBois at short, with Neil Jones holding down the “hot corner” at third base. In the outfield, the Indians had two seniors, Bob Beers and Charlie Parys. These two flanked one of the nicest field- ers in school history, Dick Beers, in center field. The Indians suffered a few injuries in mid-season, which certainly hampered plate power. Bob Utter was injured during gym class and sustained a calcium deposit on his right leg which prevented him from seeing ac- tion from all but three games. His replacement, Bob Reynard, a freshman, filled in beautifully and at the end of the season, handled himself like a veteran at second base. His bunting ability was one of the keys to the success of the team. Also, a few other bruises hindered men for a few days during the season. The strength of the Indian bench also helped the morale of the team. Glenn VanBuren, Bill Butts, andCliff Harris helped supply outfield reserve strength and Jerry Rambach filled in at short occasionally. Gil Longin also was a credit to the team with his pinch-hit- ting who since has ac- quired the dreadful di- ease of polio. We will no doubt miss Gil quite a bit on the 1953 team. 29 HIGH SCHOOL INTRAMURALS First Row: F. Prudcn, G. Churchill, J. Moore, R. Reynard, L. Tranvaag, D. Bright. R. Utter. Second Row: R. Cook, R.

Our Student Council representatives are Mary Newman and Edward Cook. The class motto is, Seize the Opportunity.” Our outstanding activities for this year were, our St. Patrick’s Annual Ham Supper and the Minstrel Show. Since Freshmen we have had the Annual Ham Supper, each year making it bigger and better. Members of the Junior Class participating in the show presented their talent with a guest Master of Ceremony. Some other activities included during the year were bake sales, record dances, and card parties. We also made a campaign on Christmas wrappings, cards, and writing paper. All these activities will help finance our Senior Trip. Our main feature high lighting the season was our Junior Prom, ‘‘Rhapsody in Blue” being the theme. It was decorated with class colors, two-tone blue with silver and the class flower, blue carnation. Ernie Russ furnished the music for the evening with the climax being the crowning of the King and Queen, followed by the Grand March. We waited until the middle of February for our rings. When they arrived we found many different styles with our school crest on the stone of the ring. Our hopes are that our Senior year is as successful as our Junior year has been. 41 YEARBOOK BANQUET second annual Yearbook Banquet was held in June with Dr. Charles W. Hunt, retired President of Oneonta State Teachers College, as the main speaker. George Taylor, Stamford Board of Education President, acted as master of ceremonies. Edna Theisselmann and Doris Kerr were appointed co- editors of the 1953 Voice. 43 CLASS OF 52. First Row; R. Beer . B. Shaw, C. Sherman. R. Aroca, C. Parys, J. Vandermark, P. Kelsey, N. Gilderslceve.
