Our parents were with us from the first day we went to school until the last. In this yearbook we want to pay homage to Mom and Pop, because if they hadn't gone to school with us, frankly, we'd not have enjoyed our school days. Things would have been just too difficult for us. Our parents encouraged, scolded, and prepared us for school, day in and day out. If we graduated, it was their achievement as well as ours. - , if sz i A W tl ti?

Q Siam if 3 I sa di A group ot- high school students climb the steps to learning as they start another day at V.C.S. Each morning at 8:30, groups such as this are seen enter- ing our doors. With the clcmging of tire bells, orderly groups ol students rush downstairs double tile and out into the school yard, evacuating Vestal School in about Zllz minutes. This picture shows some ol the 1500 students re-entering the building. nt a School, A lot can happen in eleven years. A lot has happened in the last eleven years in Vestal. Those who knew our school before 1939 can appreciate what has been done in the development of the educational privi- leges we now enjoy. With the centralization of the system and the erection of the new building in 1939, our school started down the road toward big things in education for Ves- tal. Our staff has increased from fifty-four members to ninety. The curriculum has been enlarged to in- clude more subjects and extra-curricular activities. Our sports program, music depart- ment, and virtually all phases of school life have made corresponding growths. And with the additions to the garage and plans for expansion of the out-of-town branches of the system, the Vestal Central School continues to grow. t N but a School Home Songwriters and poets find inspiration in old one-room school houses along country lanes. No great melodies or famous sonnets will ever be composed to honor V.C.H.S. But, we who have spent so many happy hours here will remember it sentimentally- crowded hallways, the good cafeteria aroma the end of third period, the FIGHT SONG in pep assemblies, report cards, study halls, labs, dancing in the gym, blue slips to be signed, bad-weather holidays, hurrying for the bus, the proms and plays-so many, many things to make a song poem in our memory. 3 .., is Qing 'Il Yngwie tst -V .c -- t . tif -- ,,, it s o is it -- ,W I H Bi During the year, our families visit our school for such events as the Senior Play, Concerts. Open House, and P.T.A. Parents are always welcome in our school as this picture of Mr. Salmon and Mr. Gimmie greeting open house visitors shows. Day alter day students crowd around their lockers talking about the dcry's events. Irene Breckner cmd Marilyn Ellis are shown chatting with Pat Cook. Pat is probably saying, Wow, I'll have to clear out this cubbyhole some time! The Ilratt BOARD OF EDUCATION Our far-sighted Board of Education, chosen X by Vestal parents and taxpayers with the wel- X fare oi the student in mind, has done much this season. The dental clinic, the pastel shades it A to preserve eyesight in Classrooms, the build- fr ing program, the paid assemblies. the Syracuse workshop for teachers, and plans for a new , athletic field are just a few of the decisions ' for which students, teachers, and parents are grateful.

Mr. Salmon is unaware that he is being photographed while having his picture taken. Many of this year's graduates learned their Latin, French, or Spanish from Miss Gladys Besanson who passed away last summer. We do not put a black border around this space because Miss Besanson continues to live in the hearts of all who knew and remember her.

The outstand- ing game of the season was on our field when the team held a seemingly uncon- querable Owego team to a 6-6 tie, cr vic- tory for us. The best-played game was staged at Cortland, yet it was lost 6-0. The team held a heavily favored Cortland to U-U until the final 10 seconds when Cortland made a desperation pass. Coach Lou Pond's boys crushed the hap- less Oneonta and Painted Post teams, were shellacked by Norwich and gave a good battle before succumbing to Newark Valley. Next year there will be another team. another season, but there will never be a team that will surpass the courage and de- termination of this team of 1949. 5 I K 55, Q sr. . 3 41 Qi' ' er-1 in K 3' ,M Y-' :'- ' it 4 Clecn' the way for the Gold i . - Fm A en Becxr Pack, L.

It was writ- ten by Thornton Wilder and will be pro- duced by the Senior Class. These were the Words of Dick Archer, stage manager, as he introduced the senior play directed by Miss Ellen Murphy. Our Town portrays the never changing basic cycle which is life. It is the story of everyday people who were born into ordinary families, who grow from childhood to adulthood, who fall in love and marry, who have a family and meet death, either themselves or in the life of one dearly loved. This cycle was com- pleted by Emily Webb played by Vivian Lit- tle and George Gibbs portrayed by Elwyn McLain. On the night of a play, there is more than you see on stage. The stage crew is shown back-stage, hard at work. Included are Jimmy Cook, our cricket, Robert Beaumont, Bob Clark, Dick Archer, Stage Managerg and Miss Fitzgerald, Prompter. tea lnotlights i va, J: gi ,gust .Sa .f if fs' 1,3 i,..,,, , ,. t y 3 gig ..., .

Indeed, the most fundamental means for expression of public attitudes ' ld as the nation itself: the free American Press. 0 f 6 is as o As a channel of public expression, a free press is necessary to the democratic system. Your daily P newspaper provides the common meeting grounds for all shades of opinion. No one pretends that the information presented by newspapers is always right. That is another of democracy's freedoms-the privilege of being wrong. But, just as a thermometer is expected to record the temperature, not create it-the newspaper gives an accurate measure of the opinions of the people, while making no attempt to sit in judgment on the correctness of those opinions. That is why it is so important to us as a people to preserve the freedom of the press. The Binghamton Press recognizes its responsibilities in this regard- no influences must affect the presentation of the news and thereby distort the clear expression of public opinion. Truly, the Voice of the People speaks more clearly and forcefully through this and other newspapers of the nation, than through any other single means of expression, save the polling place.
