For there is not one among us, On the football field or diamond, But loves her with his might, For thee shall praise resoundg And always does his bravest In the classics hall of learning For the Blue and Orange bright. Shall be owned thy fair renown. All too fast the time draws nearer- School days behind we'll leaveg Then for thee dear Alma Mater In the after years we'll grieveg Always as a gentle mother, Our hearts to thee are true, As you teach us loyal friendship To the Orange and the Blue.

SENIUR PRUPHEUY Here it is, June 1970, and as I sit here in my deck chair aboard the S.S. Edison, I see many of the class of 1950 from good old T.A.E. In the main ballroom I hear Pete Genovese and his famous jazz orchestra. Among those in the band are Edward Hackett and his sizzling trumpet, Larry Wicks and his hot piano, and John Elmquist, replacing Perry Como, vocalist. Peter and his Palpitators are doing their best to revive that good old stand-by, Be Bop. Over in a corner we see the secretaries Anne Brucato, Pat Stansiield, Arla Stumpff, Pat Stuart, Pat Kimball, Dorothy Butrey, Alice Palladino, Mildred Petel- chuk, and Carol Wilson discussing salaries and bosses. Three of my former classmates have joined forces. Joan Frendberg designs clothes, Rosemarie Bahantka models them, and Pat Turner sells them. We just passed the ten-mile gambling limit, so Louis Davis, Dick Kehoe, Frank Kerbein, Arthur Butler, and Jack Nickerson are off in a corner, playing cards. Norma Updyke, recreational director, is looking for someone to do push-ups with her Harry Shepard, the famous golf pro of St. Andrews, is trying to give some golf pointers to a group of adoring females. Ready to take care of any sea sick passengers are nurses Marilyn Crans, Barbara Hammond, Barbara Neal, Pat Weed and Dr. Lorraine Soper. In charge of the theater here on board is Teddy Chapman, assisted by Marjorie Lewis, ticket seller and Nancy Ermold, candy seller. Ronald Gustin, fire chief is rushing around looking for lighted matches. The evening program is about to begin. Richard Miller, replacing Olsen in the Olsen-Johnson team is on the stage. Is that Don Moore, down on the knees proposing to Katherine Pastuzak? No, I guess he's only singing g'Mammy.', Standing at the helm reciting poetry is Joan LeMunyan. I see Bill Young showing his coin collection to Carlton Thomas, famous publisher of comic books. Stosh Northrop, the new coach of T.A.E. and Robert Satterlee are discussing Bob's job at the atomic energy plant at Oakridge. Dick Ordway, pilot, is debating the subject of milk delivery by plane with Warren Schultz and Gary May. SENIUR PRUPHEGY Sleeping in a deck chair is Dick Guidus. Trying to make another conquest is Mike Fell, who has just divorced his 15th wife. CHe's the new Artie Shawlj On a vacation away from their husbands are Alice Adams, wife of Chuck Dayton, Amelia Hable, Cnow Mrs. Ray Forkerl, Mrs. Robert Hess, fthe former Betty Jane Zeppb and Giovina Liberatore, now Mrs. Richard Butts. B.B.T. CBig Business Tycoonsj David Obuhanych, Lee Palmer, and Don Soper are playing tiddledy winks. James Hardy, radio announcer, Betty Belknap, telephone operator, Walter Palmer, electrician, and Leo Valego, mechanic are playing shuflleboard.

Selling pencils with sport schedules on them and also selling personalized cards and stationery were our systems of raising money. We put on a pageant as an assembly program Sharing America for National Education Week. We climaxed our freshman year with Sub-Freshman Day in which we introduced the Class of 1952 to T.A.E. Our sophomore year again found us selling pencils. The assembly that year was a historical pageant for Thanksgiving. Movies were shown after school to raise money. Class Day we presented the annual dance honoring the Seniors. lt had a barn-yard theme and was known as the Hayseed Hop. ln our Junior year we had a very successful magazine subscription campaign and we also sold refreshments at the football and basketball games. We ordered our class rings which were delivered the last of February. Our Junior Year was climaxed by the annual Junior-Senior Banquet and Prom. JUNIOR OFFICERS Prr1.s'ic1'c'l1t . , .

Patricia Weed, Joy Spirawk The Cheerleaders this year organized for the first time as a Club. Officers were chosen and a set of rules drawn up. The Varsity were presented with their letters in the beginning of the year which started their activities rolling. A Back to School Dance the second week of school was their first big step. They got new skirts and sweaters for Football season. Hard earned pep fests and assemblies aroused the spirit of the student body. Both Varsity and Jayvees got new basketball uniforms and many new cheers. Exciting, close games kept both squads well on their toes and in expert cheering condition. We wish to thank our advisor, Mrs. Edna Van Orman for all her help and the many good times we have had with her. President ...,.......,...... . . .

Under the magic touch of Mrs. Yohn the Choir has steadily improved each year and added new activities to their schedule. Included in our program were the Thanksgiving Assembly sponsored by the Sophomore Class, Christmas Assembly, Spring Concert and the Spring Festival. Mrs. Yohn plans to take the entire Music Department this year instead of just the Choir as last year. Nine of our members attended the Music Festival at Olean this year. All who applied were accepted. We were especially proud that two of our members, Donald Moore, and Susan Balcom, were given solo parts in the Festival. The Choir Mothers, Working under Mrs. Yohn and Mr. Johnson have done Z1 great deal for us and cooperated a lot in helping us get to our destination for the Spring Festival. The climax of our year's activities came when we participated in Baccalaureate and Commencement. MALE GLEE UWB This year the Male Glee Club had the greatest amount of members it has had in its history-48 members. We would like to have more. Any fellow who likes to sing can apply for membership. This year the Glee Club had a part in the Christmas program. Together with the Girls Chorus, we decorated our school and presented a Carol Sing. This year we are planning to go to the Spring Festival and are looking forward to our Spring Concert. Our ofiicers were: President .. . . . .lack Nickerson Vice-President, ....

Band members watched as the new director, Mr. Wesley Johnson stepped to his stand and raised his baton. Rehearsals had begun and would continue for five days a week until June 1950. Aside from music, the band had to have practice in marching, so all Fall, Mr. Johnson drilled the band in marching around the football field. In their snappy orange and blue uniforms the band was an added attraction at home and out of town football games. Ghosts marched merrily to the lively music of the band at the annual Halloween party given by the merchants of Elmira Heights. A month later found the band winning 3rd prize as it joined with several others in the Balloon Parade to welcome in the Christmas season. The band also provided fine music for the Christmas program and the Fifth Spring Concert. T.A.E. can be justly proud of the quality of music played by these musicians. The Junior Band practices three days a week and already has proved every bit as talented as the older students. These youngsters will take their places in the Concert Band as soon as they are ready. EDISUNGSTERS Robert Meade. Larry Wicks. Donald Moore. Donald Hurd In September 1948 the Edisongsters, our Male Quartette was organized. lt's membership then included: Robert Meade, lst Tenorg Larry Wicks, 2nd Tenorg Donald Moore, Baritoneg and Frank Oliver, Bass. This group received a One Rating at the Cortland Music Festival last Spring. Since that time we have had two changes in personnel. The present member- ship includes Robert Meade, Frank Bonyak, Donald Moore and Donald Hurd. These boys often represent our school at many outside engagements and are work- ing hard for another One Rating at Festival this Spring. 'V M Vy W Awgwg' .am- Novmq, Upon! Ke . 50 .

Janis DeGolyer The Light Bulb The Newspaper Club started out with a bang this year with an enrollment of twenty-five in the club at the beginning of the year. We were very fortunate to have Miss Lyon back with us again. Dale Rumsmoke and Patricia Turner represented our club in the National Newspaper Convention held in Syracuse. They brought many new ideas back with them. T.A.E. Newspaper Club now is also a member of the National Pen Sz Scroll Club, which is quite an honor indeed. To make money we sponsored ten cent dances after all home basketball games. Each week a member of the Club writes up the S'School News for the Sunday Telegram. To climax the year of hard work and fun a St. Patrick's Dance and picnic were enjoyed. Officers for the year were: Editor , , . . . , , . . Patricia Turner Assistant Editor. . . , Patricia Hageman Secretary. ..., . . .Elva Danque Treasurer, , . . , Norma Gearhart Parliamenrarian. . . ,Patricia Hageman LIBRARY GUUNGIL This year the Library Council voted for the Merit System whereby each girl has the opportunity to compete for points given for work performed in the library. The girl who accumulates the highest number of points, shows outstanding skill in duties performed and has the most pleasing personality will win the Library Service Award at graduation in June. Other awards to be given in May are keys for the Seniors, guards for the Juniors, and pins for the Sophomores. Freshmen will be on probation for the first term. The officers for the 1949-1950 school year are: Patricia Kimball, Presidentg Ann Brucato. Vice-Presidentg Faye Packard, Secretaryg Joyce Spirawk, Treasurerg and Eleanor Oprysko, Reporter. The Harvest Moon Hop , our annual Thanksgiving Eve dance, was most enjoyable with so many teachers, parents, alumni and students attending. Through the success of the dance and the sale of Christmas paper, our treasury swelled considerably. In this way we have tinanced the awards for the council members and bought the pots of ivy to beautify the library. A delightful Christmas party, celebrated with the exchange of gifts was held at the Neal home. The three attractive Neal sisters were the charming hostesses. Before the school year comes to a close, the Council plans to have a get- together at a Smorgasbord at the Mark Twain Hotel and a picnic supper at Harris Hill. The freshmen will be the hostesses and the Seniors, the guests. Row 1-Joyce Spirawk, Eleanor Oprisko. Anne Brucato. Patricia Kimball, Faye Packard Row 2-Rose Scnkiw, Alice Hall. Carney Garey.

Joan Coon, Mrs. Banfield Under the able leadership of Mrs. Banfield, the Leaders Club has started on its first year with twenty-four members. The girls were chosen at the beginning of the year by Mrs. Banfield for de- pendability, interest in sports, personality, leadership, and ability. Their job is to help conduct in Physical-Education classes and to plan the activities for the classes. At Christmas time the different branches of the Leader's Club had a variety of parties. The first period class had breakfast at the Mayfair Diner. The second period class went to the Mark Twain Coffee Shop. The sixth period had a belated party in the gym otlice and the seventh period went to Iszard's Tea Room. Plans are being made for a picnic in the spring. A Physical Education demon- stration is also being planned. These girls help Mrs. Banfield by taking attendance and taking charge of their squads. GIIILS ATIILETIU ASSIIIIIATIIIN Under the leadership of Mrs. Banfield the G.A.A. has increased this year to about three times the size that it was last year. Many of the upper-classmen, as well as the Freshmen and Sophomores have joined. Basketball and volleyball playdays were enjoyed by all who participated. Each class had a basketball team and each had a turn to play all of the classes. The Seniors led, winning all of their games, the Sophomores were next, winning two, the Freshmen won one, and the Juniors lost all they played.

Varsity Football The Heights Eleven, led by Captain Stanton Northrop, started the football season olf with a bang by defeating Corning Northside 14-7. The glory of that game was lost when Heights stood up against Hornell and came out on the lower end of a 21-0 score. The strong Heights Eleven came back, however, and took a 34-O game from Painted Post. The Heights boys again followed through and cap- tured a close game from undefeated Watkins Glen 14-7. The Corning Free Academy proved just a mite too strong for the Heights Eleven and outscored the Heights I4-7. The Heights boys were not to be discouraged and proved their strength at Bath, by beating them 45-26. Then, in zero weather on the Waverly field, Heights Eleven was outstepped by one touchdown, making the score 26-19. The Heights Eleven made a strong comeback by taking undefeated Owego 28-26 in a glorious battle on the Heights held, thus bringing to a close the football season with a win of live games out of eight. l..E.

Manager Varsity Basketball The 1949-50 Varsity Basketball team has proved to be very successful with the team making a three way tie for first place. Heights tied with Waverly and Watkins when they defeated Watkins on our home court 58 to 76. The team played unpredictable basketball, but made a fine showing in the last two league games. Our team was under the fine leadership of Captain Stosh Northrop with Robert Sobkowski and Gary May as high scorers. Lee Palmer, Clifford Proper, Danny Compton, and Carl Pesesky made up the rest of the team with Proper, Compton and Pesesky switching for game starters. Our second team contributed greatly to the success of the season. In league competition the team had seven wins and three losses. The total season record was twelve wins and six losses. Credit for the team's success should be given to Mr. Northrop for his excellent coaching. His keen knowledge of sports and high standards of sportsmanship will always make him a leader to all. The season will not be complete when this book goes to press, but we look forward to Elmira Heights upholding their reputation for good sportsmanship and clean play.

The team won 5 and lost 13 under the direction of Coach Thomas Guidus. The scoring for the squad was grouped around Capt. Richard Beemer, leading scorerg Dale Hurd and Gerald Truax.

Edison Gulf Team The T.A.E. golf team played the three best teams in this section, Binghamton Central, Ithaca, and Endicott, and was able to win one home match against Endicott. Even though we could boast of only one win, we made every match interesting by extending our opponents to the last green. The high-light of the season came early in June when we finished in 5th place in the Sectional Golf Tournament which was held at Binghamton. Peter Genovese placed 5th in the Individual Sectional Tournament at Bing- hamton scoring a creditable 79 for the difhcult l.B.M. Course. By virtue of his remarkable play, Pete qualified for a special match between our section and the Syracuse Section which was played the following Saturday at the En-Joie Course in Endicott. The Golf Team wishes to thank Mr. Hess for his excellent coaching in making the team play on even standards with much larger schools.
