Q-Auu 'll1 WWW: -:rx 'Zip' X G l HUNDRED FORTY NINE OF VESTAL CENTRAL SCHOOL, 19? 9 SENIOR CLASS, JUNE, 1949. X ELEANOR SMITH, Editor-in-chief 19 49 Q ff -N X X T X- X ix- -P-L -'i' -A Lillian BHHCGK FOREWORD Now that the seemingly short years of our school life have come to an end, we, the seniors, must depart. Within these pages, you will find our history, a tangible record of all our deeds, both great and small - a record inter- woven with the ten-year history of Vestal Central School. The indestructible spirit inherited from our predecessors we leave to those who follow us. May they also cherish and preserve it. We take with us not only the academic knowledge acquired during these years, but also the knowledge that we, too, have had a part in writing the history of Vestal Central School - a history crowded with glowing memories that this yearbook may awaken in years to come. DEDICATION To the past, the present, and the future of Vestal Central School, its leaders, and its students, the 1949 DEN is dedicated to honor the school on this, its Tenth Anniversary of service to the community. Here in this building, which has been Not just a school, but a school home to thousands during these years, every boy and girl is given the opportunity to discover and to develop his individual abilities and to prepare himself for a life in a constantly changing society. Here education has sought to use with profit the experience of the past to deal intelligently with the social changes of the present, to prepare a thinking people to plan wisely for the so- cial changes of the future, and to live in peace with the world.

Through the untiring efforts of individuals, of groups, and of departments among the faculty, the school has acquired such material assets as stage equipment, a locker room for the Band, the outdoor Christmas scene, and the athletic fields. School spirit was awakened and has been maintained by these same efforts: our Alma Mater was written because students were encouraged by teachers to do sog our mascot, the Golden Bear, and our school colors of green and gold were adopted because teachers fostered the enthusiasm on the part of the students. The contributions made to Vestal Central School by every faculty member in the system have produced a school to which alumni may look with pride. 1949 IIUNV A I 35 P IN ' Q rw X ax J .i fy 3,1 , o I L .

The Vestal Board of Ifducation has grown with the school. VVhen the new building opened in 1930, live men served on the hoard: lfarl C. Allen, 'lihomas H. Harding, Paul K. Kintner, H. Dewey Noyes, and Clifton A. Rose: today it is comprised of nine members. ln addition to performing faithfully its regular duties of governing the school, our Board of Edu- cation has provided us with such adyzuitages as lireproof stage curtains and scenery as well as the full- time services of a nurse. rlilll' Board has made provision for a corrective gym to help students overcome physical handicaps: it has also made musical training available. Yve know that the Board will continue to work toward making our school the hnest in the state. P. T. A. The Vestal Parent 'l'eachers Association, led in 1939 by hlrs. Harry hlersereau, is now presided oyer hy Mrs. Robert l.znyhead. ln these ten years of progress, the l'.'II.A. has accomplished much to the henelit of the school and its students. Une of the early projects of the organization was the purchase of hand uniforms. ln later years, they have provided the school with an audiometer, a duplicating machine, and stage risers: and they have given their support to a program of girls' guidance, the annual sumlner round-up, and the chest X-ray clinic.

This june 107 students will be grad- uated from this high school. Even though the numbers in the graduating classes differ, the seniors of 1940 had the same hopes and ideals as our class of 1949. Through the years all of the senior classes have made substantial contri- butions to our school. Indeed, there are many happy memories carried forth by all seniors when they are graduated. Next year our class will be widely separated, but all will remember the dances, plays, concerts, pageants, classes and 'commencement itself. After graduation, some will go on to college, some to work, some to join branches of the service, and still others to assume the responsibilities of mar- riage and a home. Some will continue to live here in the Triple Cities, and others will move far away, but no matter where we go or what we do in life, we will always remember our classmates and Vestal Central School. 1949 beer li- LEADERS OF TOMORROW N ' .lirs 3 RRR ew I - 2 5 AZR i O OR Qu! ,A JA!!

RICHARD VAN DUZER These Veterans have passed their General Education Development Tests and have completed the necessary requirements for a High School diploma. CLASS POEM Off in the far away distance Where the afternoon sun meets the earth, There dwells on a hilltop a venerable sage Who dates from creation in birth. Often I take him my problems, But his words are ponderously queer: Love, honor, devotion to duty, What role do these words enact here? One question especially I asked him: Happiness, success do I seek. Pray, father, how can I find them? Come, you of wisdom, now speak. For a minute he sat there in silenceg His gaze neither quivered nor fell, His chin was upheld by his aged hands, The better his tale to tell. 34 My son, said he, for thousands of years I have watched nations climb and fall3 And of all the advice I have ever giv'n, I hold this the noblest of all. Each day take your heart and divide it, Give a piece to each beggar in need3 Happiness comes not in harvesting, But in sowing and scattering seed. For a gentle word spoken in kindness Is worth more than silver or gold, And a simple but heartfelt 'thank you' Outweighs every tale ever told. 'Tis time to leave port and set our sails For journeys through many a clime3 But we have as our star those magical words Of that sage, the renowned Father Time. JAMES ST.

As far as the girls are concerned, Evelyn Marsh con- tinues to be the best scholar, but no other girl was re-elected to her former title.

Ki 1939 UNDERCLASSMEN As our senior classes grow from year to year, so also do the ranks of the underclassmen. Statistics show that when the new building was opened in 1939, there were 220 students in grades ten through twelve. Now, only ten years later, these same classes are 407 strong. The underclassmen have sponsored several social activities this year. The juniors, under the leadership of President Bill I-Iawver, followed precedent with the annual junior Promg the sophomores started something new with their Turkey Trot dance, and the freshmen presented a Spring Dance. We, the seniors, wish the underclassmen the greatest success in their future ventures. We are sure that as the classes grow in number, their ideas and ideals will grow, too. 1949 f I' ? , 'q 1.g 1 B 3' YY ,B W fig 'N fi ..,.,.

We have grown from a weak, toddling bear cub to a full-grown, ferocious young bear that is scrappy and always ready for a good, clean, sportsmanlike battle. The bear's record through its ten years of life has been about average. Baseball seems to have been the underdog, while track and cross-country teams have certainly been our shining glory. The older and more experienced schools of the Southern Tier are now slowly coming to realize that the Vestal Bear is no longer something to be laughed off but rather is a real threat to their sports records. 1949 fi IT: can i .ga A4 S VARSITY FOOTBALL Bollom Row-F.

Vestal's 1948-1949 varsity football season was successful in many respects, even though not many games were won. At the most crucial times, we had many injuries and ineligibilities. The Bruins received a severe blow when Captain Howard Minckler hurt his knee in the beginning of the second game, which benchecl him for the rest of the year. Co-Captain Duane Hunsinger did a swell job for the remainder of the season. The Pondmen, however, never lost their spirit and came back to tie a highly favored Painted Post team. Mr. Pond should be congratulated for having such a scrappy team. The prospects for next year's season look very h n a q n - 1 promising and, barring injuries, we should have a 5 O championship team.

KING OF SPORTS VARSITY BASKETBALL SCORES Basketball, the king of sports, is a fast-moving, exciting game which brings out large crowds of Vestalites to root for the home teatn. This year the team started out under veteran Coach Lew Hlloel' XValker, but due to ill health he had to turn the reins over to John l'endlebury, who very ably carried on. Our team was one of the shortest in the league, but it made up for lack of height by being very scrappy and speedy. As far as victories go, the tnost successful night was when Vestal beat Binghamton Central for the first time in our history. It was a game that the fans and players will long remember. lt was the U. lf. game, though, that supplied the greatest thrills as our team came from way behind to beat our across-the-river rivals by three points.

The most out- XX T' standing event took place on the day our relay team won the Sectionals at Ithaca, making them eligible to represent the Southern Tier at 0 VVest Point. Several school records were made by the relay team, and a record was made in hurdles by Clyde Angevine. Kenny Williams ' tied his brother's record in the 100-yard dash. BASEBALL X I If the record of the games won or lost was the main object, then we have failed, but if our goal was based on how well the boys developed, we had a very successful season. There were several new players this year, and through the experience gained we hope to have a better team next year. lNIr.

Uur Vestal team won over Union-lfndicott, Johnson City, Binghamton, North, and Binghamton Central. HOCKEY Hockey was a new sport this year for the girls in Vestal, and it was received with much enthusiasm. The girls took a lot of kidding from the fellows, partly because of their equipment Qleg guards up to the kneesj and partly because of their playing. They might not have been experts, but they had a lot of fun. VOLLEYBALL The girls went out for volleyball in a big way this season. In the senior high division, Thelma Hogg's team proved to be a little better than the other three by winning the championship. At a play day in Vestal, Union-lfndicott, Vestal and Binghamton North competed and finished in that order. VOLLEYBALL Fin! Rofw-J. Smith, T. Hogg, P. Sanzo, J. Kenesky. Srrnm! Rofw-D. Sampson, C.

For ten years the various musical organizations have entertained on special occasions and have provided the background for pageants, sports, and assemblies. At first these organizations were very small, but they have grown to be- come large groups of students who are interested in music and who consider it a great honor to be a part of these organizations. Our present high school Music Department is made up of Mrs. Mac- Lowry, Mr. Eddy, Mr. Marvin, and Mr. Wade-able leaders in the world of music. 19491 LN I Q K, O , l f.a.,f1- .

That choir consisted of twenty- four students organized by hlrs. Gertrude Keeler, whom our class remembers as our grade music teacher. As the years passed, each of the other choirs was orgzuiizedg and, in IQ-ll, hlrs. lXIacl.,owry came to take over the vocal departnient. The choirs grew steadily. Today there are lllfl in each of the live separate organizations. These choirs work together for the annual spring concert and separately for the competition, pageants, com- mencement, and assemblies. Their purpose is to give enjoyment to others, and they have cer- tainly accomplished that purpose during the past ten years. 5 111 lam I11111 4111 1111 111111s1 1 111 1 lNUIl S XX1t1Q, -1.

THE OLD REFRAIN 1944 1942 1945 1941 1944 1939 1939 In the process of discovering and developing one's individual abilities and in preparing oneself for life in a changing society, academic knowledge alone is not enough. For this reason, the modern school offers its students through extra-curricular activities-clubs, projects, subjects-a variety of additional knowledge not available in formal school courses. Through these activities, we gain a better understanding of our fellow students by working together and of ourselves by developing skills, leader- ship abilities, and personality traits. During the Hrst few years of our school's operation, many clubs were begun, and in the passing of time, a few have been discontinued, while others have grown and have become an integral part of our school life. 1949 x W ' W' x XQKK-3 ad!

STUDENT CONGRESS Democracy in Action characterizes our Vestal student government, which is composed of three departments: executive, legislative, and judicial. The Vestal Central Student Congress is an exact duplicate of our Congress in Washington. The House of Representatives contains 95 members, the Senate, 28 members. This organization is sponsored by the Social Studies Department, and parliamentary pro- cedure is observed in the weekly meetings. Membe1's learn democracy and government through experience and, at the same time, help to devise ways to make our school a better place. Outstanding bills have been passed this year to promote school citizenship and good sports- manship and to raise scholastic standards. An especially noteworthy project was the 1706 pounds of clothing collected for the Navajo Indians. UNITED NATIONS YOUTH ORGANIZATION The Social Studies Department also sponsors a local chapter of the United Nations Youth Organization. This club aims to build friendships between the students of Vestal and the students in various European countries, helping us understand the problems of the United Nations and of , the other countries of the world. Displaced persons and exchange students and teachers have spoken at some of the weekly meetings. VVriting letters to students in foreign lands, sending Care packages and other needed items, as well as visiting the United Nations at Lake Success, have been among their accomplishments this year. .l ' Fun ffa N nz J I ' '- L U11-' EE L... nge Ugg nlxQ. - m -FEI --fd f Z..-.-1 1.

This year, in an effort to cut down publication costs, the SCRllilf returned to miineographed issues. To help defray expenses, staff members sold the now familiar green and gold Vestal buttons. The Press Club, now in its eleventh year, is ably directed by llliss lfdxvards and bliss jacob. PROJ ECTIONIST CLUB The Projectionist Club was formed last September for the purpose of helping to broaden the Visual Aid Program. By using these trained young people, it is possible to schedule many more movies and slides so that every department in the system, including the outside schools, can have the benefit of visual education. ,. , ' Oo ,. wa l In 4 0 pl 1,11 w' f' N 61n:,H,s sf '..

Though it is small in number, the club has become active in school and community activities. The boys have sponsored a l'olio Drive, Clothing Drive, and a Pep Rally. They have planted trees in front of our school and have helped to organize a Girls' Hi-Y Club. GIRLS' HI-Y CLUB The Greek letters Alpha Gamma came into use this year as a result of the formation of the first Girls' Hi-Y Club in Vestal. NVirh a membership of 40 girls, the club has become an active group directed by lXIrs. Sherwood.

VVith the assistance and direction of their advisers, they served dinner at the faculty Christmas party at lfnjoie Club Houseg and in February, a public spaghetti dinner in the school cafeteria. The proceeds from the Faculty-Senior basketball games also Went to the senior trip fund. The game between the women members of the faculty and the senior girls was highlighted by the teachers' costumes, Coach Lou Pond's disguise as I,u- cille, the Blond Bomber, and Principal Salmon's appearance in combined football-baseball uniform as the teachers' coach. A baby-sitting organization of senior girls also added hourly wages to the general fund. MORE GOLD FOR CLEMENTINE sit ff ' H X t 4, YEARBOOK MINER DANCE HA! CAUGHT YA v X X 35 .K M., .
