Tupper Lake High School - Tuhisean Yearbook (Tupper Lake, NY)

Text from Pages 1 - 52 of the 1950 volume:

THE 1950 TUHISEAN WILL REFRESH YOUR MEMORY I'HESEKITEU BY THE SENIOR ELASS TIPPER LAKE HIGH SEHHG TLPPEH LAKE, N. Y. DD YOU HEMEMBER? This little Fellow is holding a catcher’s glove but he grew up to be Tupper High's star pitcher. Surely that stance is familiar—of course, it’s Roger Delair. It is 3:30 of a winter afternoon. That accounts for the smiles on Emily Johnson and Dot Chureo. This represents four members of a famous gang. The two more serious looking lads grew up to be the most michievous of the class—Roy Parent and Henry Campbell. The smiles are worn by John D’Avignon and Ted Sabin. No wonder the Senior Class elected Richard President. Look at all the medals he’s wearing —Scout honors. 2 We, the Senior Class of 1950, dedicate our yearbook to Telesphore Liberty, a member of our class, who died in a tragic accident in 1947. Telesphore was an enthusiastic classmate, and his jovial manner is and will be remembered by all who knew him. A good friend and an essential member of his class, Teles-phore’s memory is more than worthy of this honor. ‘The Lord giveth and the Lord taketh away. 3 DKUILAT1UN DO YOU REMEMBER? 4 LET US REMIND YOU of the BOARD of Education, the Superintendent and the Faculty. The members of the Board of Education, five in number, are the elected representatives of the people of the school district, and they are responsible for the management of the schools. One member is elected annually at an open meeting and serves without salary for five years. The superintendent of schools is the administrative officer of the elected members of the board who is directly responsible for the educational program under the policies formulated by the board and by the State Education Department. He is a non-voting member of the board and in reality serves as manager under the general supervision of the board which appoints him. The members of our Board have served from five to eleven years as members. The members deserve the support and thanks of the students and faculty for their support of our school activities and school system. Joseph F. Donocan Superintendent 5 Mr. Lawrence Quinn, Principal ALSO UUli PRINCIPAL AMD FACULTY When any student thinks of Tapper Lake High School, he thinks ot Mr. Quinn, our principal. We cannot imagine schoool without him. He is friend, adviser, and father to every student who enters the portals of Tapper Lake High School. If you are ever unfortunate enough to he sent to his office, you learn then his fatherly qualities. Students and ex-students know how glad he is to see you at all times and that he is never too busy for a visit. Teachers, as well as student body, can vouch for his qualities as adviser. Since we cannot write about every teacher individually, the Senior Class would like to take this opportunity to express its heartfelt thanks to the entire faculty. In our estimation, they are second to none. Mis Fazir Abdallah Mm.

Our first project was the sponsoring of a “Magician Show” the profit of which went towards our Yearbook. Our next project was the Penny Carnival which included decorating the gym and setting up a Fortunte-Telling booth, a Roulette Wheel and Bowling Booth. In November, the Seniors decided to put on a “Girl versus Boy” Basketball game. Practically all the members participated either by making posters, selling refreshments or taking in the game. Later in the Spring, the annual ‘Senior Ball took place and it was very successful. SENIOR OFFIEEHS R. Bancroft President J. Abdallah Vice-President M. J. Montion Secretary C.

The passengers carried little necessary baggage: some native ability, a few brains, much conceit and more good humor. They were given the intelligence test, and it was found that 80' of the class was intelligent without being intellectual. This result was based on the fact that 80' read the comic section of the newspaper first. The officers in this plane were John Mac Aleese (President), Phyllis Yaworski (Vice-President), Barbara Tyler (Secretary), and Bob Towers (Treasurer). The highlight, or outstanding feature of the year, was the Freshman Frolic which took off with real success. After the ups and downs of the Freshman year, we were transferred the next year to a larger plane known as the Sophomore which was better equipped for rougher travel. The passenger list changed somewhat as the travelers sadly bade farewell to Telesphore Liberty who met his death that year. The 1948 officers were Roger Delair (President), Janet Magriho (Vice-President), Carole LaPorte (Secretary), and Donald Gagnon (Treasurer). 1949 came all too soon and found us aboard the Junior plane. This year the officers were John Le Febvre (President), Jeanne Abdallah (Vice President), Carole La Porte (Secretary), and Kenneth Denis (Treasurer). Our Junior Prom flew high among the big successes of that year. Through intensive study we learned many things, first, that it does not pay to flv to too great heights, second, that an airplane is a great convenience if not run to the ground; third, that education is a wonderful thing. Finally we find ourselves riding the Senior plane. During this last year our flying hours have been longer, the altitude higher, the flights rough and bumpy, but the view has been glorious and majestic. Now at the close of the flight of the Senior, each one of the class has passed the requirements and is ready to make a solo flight and to take off for parts unknown.

CLASS DF 1951 Starting out with a bang, the Junior Class elected President Brian Carmody, Vice-President Dorothy McCarthy. Secretary Theresa Joseph and Treasurer Donald Barrett to lead them through the year. Although the Class didn’t present any outstanding fetes other than the “Holiday Hop’’ and the “Junior Prom”, it really was a versatile crowd, being a leader in the fields of music, dramatics, press, athletics, social life and of course, scholastic activities. As our school is centralized, an interesting note on the class is the fact that it is probably the onl class having representatives from all the sections of our school district.

The club is represented in choir, orchestra, band, and the various clubs in the school. Some of the boys, including Glenwood Charland. Roy Dupuis, and Gerald Garrelts, were on the Junior Varsity basketball team. Some of the Freshman girls were on the Junior Varsity cheering squad and helped to cheer our team on to their many victories. Although class parties have been left out of the schedule of activities, it is thought that the annual class party will be held in the near future. The class, advised by Miss Margaret Malakie and Mr. Loren Tooley, held one meeting. At this meeting the following officers were elected: President, Roy Dupuis; Vice-Presi-dentj Valerie Woods; Treasurer, Glenwood Charland, and Secretary, Vera Fortune.

In October, three club members accompanied by Mr. Neubauer attended the annual conference of the Empire State School Press Association. Many ideas for improvement were gained from the various ESSPA discussions and lectures. The outstanding feature of the Club’s activity this year was the winning of a Superior Rating for “The School Buzz,” in the Better School Publications Contest sponsored by ESSPA. This is the second consecutive year that Tupper Lake High School has won such an honor. First row, left to right: k. Richardson, A. Yando. C. Fortune, E. Johnson, J. Abdallah, D. LaPorte, L. Bobak.

ON THE GRIDIRON Football season got started with fans carrying the idea that Topper’s prospects would be pretty dim for the coming season. Tupper suffered heavy losses by graduation, and lacked experience, but with the nucleus of four veterans and the capability of several newcomers the team got to work. Tupper faced a stern test in the opener, facing Massena; but much to many followers surprise Tupper trounced Massena 20 to 6. And in the remainder of the season Tupper dropped 2 of the remaining 6 games, losing to a powerful Saranac team by a 21 to 12 score, and to Malone on a snow covered field by a score of 13 to 7 in the last game of the season. This season’s team developed remarkably into one of the best teams in the league and from the first game Tupper was marked the team to beat. This year was the first year that Tupper defended its title of League Champions successfully by retaining it as Co-Champions with Massena. FOOTBALL SCHEDULE Came T. L.

VARSITY BASKETBALL With two veterans of last year’s team in John Lefebvre and Don LaBarge and the capability of Joseph Jackson, who had quite a bit of experience previous to last year, Coach Perry formed the nucleus of this year’s team. Don Gagnon, A1 Smith, and Bob Sears worked in alternately to compose the first five. And with such capable reserves as Bob Vaillancourt, Don Barrett, Jack Fuller, Roger Delair. Phil Edwards and Arnold Dunn, the team rounded into shape. Tupper went undefeated until the seventh game when an inspired Massena team eked out a seven point win in an overtime period. Tupper progressed through the rfest of the schedule, finishing the season in second place in the league standings, with a record of 12 wins and 4 losses. Saranac Lake finished in in first, dropping only 2 games, both to Tupper. The playoffs were held on March 18, in Lake Placid Arena with Tupper opposing Potsdam. Tupper earned tneir recognition of being a serious contender for the playoff crown in trampling Potsdam 79 to 44. The following week Tupper was defeated for the Northern League Championship by Saranac, in a closely contested game which will long be remembered in this section, by a score of 54 to 52.

SCHINNICK Manager JLiVIHH VARSITY ____ JUNIOH VAHSITY This year the community and school can be justly proud of the Junior Varsity Basketball team, which was composed mainly of freshmen and a few sophomores, with which Coach Perry had to build an entire new team without one veteran. The team got off to a poor start dropping their first two encounters to Norwood and Malone, and these losses can be fully accounted for in that the boys were green and had no previous experience to this year. The members of this year’s team are Hardy Horn, captain; Glennwood Charland, James Savard, Clarence Bell, and Roy Dupuis rounds out the first five. Reserves are William Root, Jerry Garrelts, Roger Leclair, and Robert Fredericks. Also Leonard Richer who was injured in the Malone game, and was forced to give up the team. After the first two games, with some juggling of the line-up and the addition of a couple of boys from the intramural leagues, the team began to pick up. With a relatively small out speedy combination the team began to win. They finished the season with a record of 13 wins and 3 losses, to obtain first place at the end of the regular season. In the Championship the team bowed to an experienced Malone team by a score of 36 to 30.

It has created another source of interscholastic sportsmanship that prevails throughout the North Country. It has aroused new interest in a game that can, if taken in the right spirit, be a satisfaction throughout life. Golf, unlike most other sports, is a game enjoyed after high school or college days are over. This year, Tupper Lake was represented in the annual tournament held at Potsdam by the following; Robert Vaillancourt, John Fazio, William Root, Philip Edwards, Robert Smith, and David Lyons. Tupper Lake lost the Larry Cheverette Trophy to Canton this year. It was evident from the results of this tournament that all teams had improved and that Golf is making a place for itself among the North Country s sports. It is evident that a new interest in the sport is being awakened dirough the cooperation of the schools ,league, and country club officials. ' ’arris rtiiiK . I .'f-'wn,,, rlu-r.
