Text from Pages 1 - 60 of the 1954 volume:

The Sheaf of Wheat is a symbol of the Christian faith. The seeds of faith are sown in the human personality and grow into the mature faith of the Christian man or woman. The sown seed must lose its life in order that it may develop and grow and mul- tiply- So, symbolically, a sheaf of wheat is used by Christians to mark the passing of a fellow Christian. We believe death is not the end but the beginning of life eternal. The mature grain in this sheaf is the direct symbol of the Resurrection—the life beyond the grave, the fulfillment of the Promises of fesus Christ. 'DedtcatcM, CHARLES L. GARNER In appreciation for his efforts and service to our class and the school, we dedicate this, our annual, to Mr. Garner. 2 s4cUHi U4tMtfi6 t 4 td 'pacutty CALVIN E.

We were 36 excited children who, with the help of Mrs. Rapp, managed to conquer the first grade. On September 3, 1943, our number had dropped to 25. Under the direction of Mrs. Meredith we completed the Eskimo stories in our supplementary read- ers and proceeded to the third grade. Here our education expanded under the guidance of Mrs. Seiders (Mrs. Francis). On August 31, 1945, we entered the fourth grade with Mrs. Gants as our teacher. The next year, even though we had an epidemic of mumps and flu. Miss Swartz (Mrs. Morris) got us through the fifth and into the sixth grade where Mr. George took over. It was that year (our sixth) that they took the big bell down from the top of the grade school. The next year we went on to the seventh grade and the high school building. As usual, there was much confusion concerning the meeting of all new teach- ers and the location of class rooms, but by September in 1949 when we entered the eighth grade we considered ourselves masters of this art. Then we entered high school. The first three years; with our hay ride, the turkey dinner that we got for selling magazines, and our class trips to the Dunes, besides our new and exciting subjects; passed quickly. Then came the final one! There are twelve students, Jim Gard, Jim Miner, Alden Stuckman, Phil Worth, Nancy Cripe (who designed our annual cover), Betty Traster, Tom Hughes, Joy Nolan, Marilyn Hursey, Patty Goble, Eloise Godshalk, and John Hoover, who attended Syracuse High School all twelve years. It was while we were Seniors that we shared our friendship with Ernst Golitzer, an exchange student from Germany, who has written this to the stu- dents of Syracuse High School and the citizens of the Syracuse community. For Better Understanding Every year many exchange students come to the United States. These girls and boys are coming to bring to the American people the knowledge and understanding of another country, and to take home the deep and fascinating impressions of this country. I, for myself would like to thank the Principal, the teachers, and the students of this school, that they accepted me in their community without prejudice, and helped me to master the difficulties that faced me. I am very happy that I could make so many friends and I hope to return something for the many things and thoughts I received in this country. It is my highest aim to bring Germany, my country, nearer to your mind and to give you the feeling that we are people like you who want their share of life, and that the misunderstandings of the past must not be repeated. Ernst Golitzer All in all our school days hold many unforgetable memories, but the most exciting and the one we will alNvays remember best was our trip to Washing- ton, D. C., and New York City.

He played for- ward position; which takes plenty of drive. This was Bob's first year on the Varsity. Stover Hire -- Stover played forward where he did quite well. This was his first year on the varsity. Stover is a junior, he will be a great booster for next year's team. Dennis Firestone -- Dennis, a junior, was able to play the guard posi- tionfor the Yellow Jackets because of agressiveness and ability to drive. This was his first year on the Varsity. Arthur Coy -- Art is a junior and this was his first year on the Var- sity. Being one of the taller men on the team he, of course, played Center. He is well known for his rebounding ability. Paul Pollock -- Paul is a sophomore and this was his first year on the Varsity. Paul's ability to drive and help set up plays undoubtedly earned him his place as a guard on the team. Charles Haffner -- This was Charles' first year on the varsity and he played guard position. Charles, a junior, has plenty of driving abil- ity and a will to win. He will help spark next year's team. Tom Koble -- Tom, a junior, has played three year's on the varsity. Tom's excellent hitting ability combined with being a good play maker and a good passer made him the most popular man on the team. Nelson Kistler -- Nelson is a Freshman and this was his first year on the varsity. He played guard. Nelson's drive and team will undoubt- edly be of good use to next year's team. Jim Connolly -- Jim is a Sophomore and this is his first year on the varsity. Being one of the smaller men on the squad he played guard position. What he didn't have in height he made up in speed. Larry Nicolai - Abbie a Freshman with his size and three more years to piay should be a real stand by. Compliments of 40 fluKc i 'ftyty i Top Row Left to Right — L. Gustafson, M. Stahly.R.
