Text from Pages 1 - 48 of the 1949 volume:

THE JUNIORS OF THE WARRENSBURG CENTRAL SCHOOL WARRENSBURG, NEW YORK PRESENT FOR THE SENIORS THE HACKENSACK NINETEEN HUNDRED AND FORTY-NINE VOLUME V Dedication MISS JEAN WHITNEY We, the Seniors of the class of 49, would like to dedi- cate this issue of the Hack exsack to our patient and understanding: advisor, Miss Jean Whitney. Without her help and assistance we would never have been able to reach our goal of graduation. We would also like to thank her for the help she gave us on our campaign to raise money for our Washington trip. This dedication is our way of showing our appreciation. Memorium This issue of the Hackensack is being printed in the memory of three of our departed classmates: Les Aiken, June Wilsey and Billy Frye. The ever smiling face of Les Aikens, our beloved classmate and president of our class in his Sophomore and Junior years, Les who par- tic paled in nearly all of the many school activities, will be missed by all who knew him. Although he is not with us, he will always be re- membered in the hearts of his classmates. June Wilsey, the, first of our classmates to leave us, as she has not 1 ecu with us since 1937, won a place in our hearts although she was not with us long. II was in our sixth year in school that Billy Frye joined our class, lie was only with us for that year, but his gaiety and wittiness were en- joyed and remembered by all. Board of Education Ijc I to Right: First Row: Charles Brown, Don Cameron, Howard Hull, James Magee, Principal Ward Fiedler. Second Row: Nelson Meador, William Maltbie, Howard Savage, Lewis Crandall, Ralph Brown, and James Walsh. We. the students of Warrenslmrg Central, wish to pay tribute to the hoard oF Education to whom we owe many thanks For the things that have been granted through them. Although at times (heir rulings have seemed stern and unfair, we realize that the Hoard had been working for us and not against us, and that ultimately, their rulings have been for our own benefit. Our Faculty Left ttt Right: First Row: Miss Garfall, Miss Mordaunt, Miss Whitney, Miss Brennan, Miss Baker. Mrs. Menshausen, Miss Brown, and Mrs. Reynolds. Second Row: Miss MeGraw, Miss Goodspeed, Mrs. Conley, Mrs. Frulla, Mrs. MacRae, Mrs. Orton. Miss Steves, Miss Robinson, and Mrs. Hack. Third Row: Miss Frost, Mrs. Maxam, Miss Tyler, Miss Badger, Mrs. Meader, Mrs. Bene- dict, Mrs. Baker, Mrs. Bates, Miss Goodman, Mrs. Scully, Miss Bennett, and Mrs. Aubrey. Fourth Row: Mr. Fiedler. Principal; Mr. Niles. Mr. Khoury. Coach; Mr. Bockes. Mr. Scully, Mr. Mallory, Mr. Sullivan, and Mr. Cameron. Alter lliis class luts departed from our class rooms, we will look l ack on our facility and wonder where they have gone. Remembering the many hours Mr. Khoury spent coach'ng his teams, reminds us of the four day a week gym classes spent with Miss MeGraw. and those who labored in shop and home economics won ! forget Miss Goodspeed and Mr. Bocks. .Then there's that master of French, Mr. Mallory, whose lilting songs won’t 1;e orgotten. The Ili-Rock couldn't be a success without Mr. Scully’s persistent aid. We won't forget the other half of the team, Mrs. Scully. Our bulletin boards radiated because of her. None can forged Mr. Sullivan who always chewed on his glasses, or Miss Baker's never ending race with the (dock. There's another team of a different sort with Miss Mordaunt with her Knglish and Miss Brennan with her future freshman. Mr. Cameron must have been willed pa- tience to withstand this year’s chemistry class. The beckoning hand of Mr. Niles for the bealdown w ill remain on our memories for a long lime. When it comes to bookkeeping Miss Frost has all the answers So we leave them now and with all our hearts we thank them one and all. from Miss Brown in the kindergarten to Miss Whitney with the seniors. We thank each one who gave us a boost on our road to suc- cess. Student Council Left to Uight: Mr. Fiedler; advisor. Betty Maltbie, Lorraine Toney, Don Brown, Lee Rem- ington, Sarah Frye, Danny France, Bob Maltbie, and Eugene Nietsche. President.......... Vice-President Secretary-Treasurer Advisor............ Eugene Nietsche . . .. Sarah Frye . Lorraine Toney . . . . Mr. Fiedler The Student Council has been very active in many fields this year. One of the outstanding projects was sponsoring a group of four stu- dents on a quiz program over W.G.L.N., Glens Falls. This team in- cluded Muriel Reynolds, Paul Meader, Wayne Ross, and Paul Farrar. So far the team has done very well in winning their first contest. The Student Council also sent three representatives to the Tri- County Student Council Association which meets four times a year. They also have charge of selling tickets at the baseball, basketball, and football games.

Leland Duell Through the untiring efforts of the junior class in getting ads, and under the able guidance of our advisors, Mr. Fiedler and Miss Mor- daunt, we were able to put out this, the “49” edition of the “Hacken- sack.” II seemed to he an endless job, and we all doubted that our dream of a completed yearbook would ever come true. However, after many long hours of writing, typing, rewriting and retyping we finally sent our hook to press. We have put much time and effort into it and we are all very happy to have had ttie pleasure of bringing about the publication of a hook, which means so much to the students of Warrens- burg Central School.

Merry play soon changed to hard work as we progressed through the years of grammar school. At last we reached seventh grade and the trials and tribulations of high school. This was a great year because we moved to our new and shiny school building. Our first opportunity to participate in all kinds of sports came this year, and we went out whole-heartedly but not skill- fully. At the end of our seventh year, we were faced with an obstacle which followed us through our high school life — Regents. In our eighth grade, paper wads ceased flying, and dating began. Boys were no longer monstrosities and girls were no longer cry babies. We were ushered into our Freshman year by the usual initiation party given by the Sophomores. June came and found us wearing wine-colored caps and gowns but wishing they were blue ones. Our Sophomore year was one of envy for the Juniors and Seniors who were working and planning for their Senior trip. Ambitious salesmen made up our Junior Class; selling tickets for this and advertisements for that, anything to earn money for the yearbook which come out just in time. Oh, we mustn't forget our class rings which we flashed at the lower classmen. We entered our last year feeling sad for the members we had lost. Among these were June Wilsey, Billy Frye, and our athletic president, Les Aiken. The money problem was a little more serious when we found how difficult it was to obtain. Our goal had been reached, we had com- pleted our trip, and graduation was drawing near. It was on the final day that we found that we were really not so happy to be leaving school as we had always thought we would be. lone Wood Ursula Baker Class Prophecy Paris, France June 31, 1!)59 Dear Miss Whitney: Even though we’re in Paris, across the Atlantic, we r ad in the Paris Tribune that you have just arrived hack in I lie United States from Argentina where you have been teaching math at the University, tl must have been piite different from teaching back at Warrensburg High, wasn’t it? The other day, I happened to go into one of (lie fashion shops here, and whom should I meet hut Pat Cunningham! She was overjoyed to see me and asked me what I was doing here. Well, I simply told her about my hairstyling shop down the street. Of course, she was anxious to know all about home I've been here only three months), so we started reminiscing about our Senior class of ’49. The first one we thought of was Paul Meatier. Just be ore I left. I saw him and lie was on Its way to Lima, Peru, to open a pharmacy. From all reports, we hear lie is doing well! Do you remember how Frwin Ireland was always elected to make the Senior Tickets? Now, tic is back at W. C. S. as shop teacher still making tiiose tickets! We wonder if it doesn’t get monotonous at times. Pat tells me she got a letter from Alberta Holt. She said Alberta married a doctor, but that they aren't getting along too well. He tried to feed tier arsenic, hut failed. Alberta also told her that Helen Monlena married Manfred Nicolas, and now they run that so very popular nightclub — North- woods Inn — over in Athol. Located at Thurman Bridge is John Brown who now lias his own band! From our local paper, the Post-Star, we see lie’s doing okay!! l.orraine Toney, our former president, is a sponsor — of a one-day- a-week-school hill. We knew Lorraine didn’t like school, hut we didn’t think she’d actually go as far as that! Our paper is full of Farrar’s Institute of Physics. That of course, belongs to our former vice-president Paul Farrar, lie's certainly doing wonders! lie has as his secretary, Jean Brooks. Remember how she was always writ- ing, and transcribing shorthand, filing, typing—in her free periods! Hugh Combs now owns and operates Camp Niewah’s Girls’ camp. You know, that camp located on the Schroon River in Warrensburg! lie worked there so long that lie finally decided to buy it! Remember our youngest member — Wayne Ross? He studied French for such a long time and worked so hard at his assignments that he finally ended up in the Witchataw Insane Institute, teaching French to ttie inmates. Muriel Reynolds is now married and lives in Massachusetts. Her hus- band is Ernie Varnum, also a Warrensburg Alumnus. While in New York, Pat ran into Boh Merrithew. He runs the garage at the Waldorf. I always knew he’d get away from the Burg. Our red-headed, Don Brown, is manager of the Grand Union grocery store. Seems like the grocery business sort-of stuck to him! Shirley Smith got possession id’ her father’s old jalopy, and stie and Joyce Stone started out to tour ttie states. II wasn’t long before they were home — bag and baggage! -----On Hie Bus! Earl Young was so wound up about his guns that he started arsenal for rifle club supplies. Two days ago, while we were at lunch, we were astonished to see Charlie Brown. He had started for Siberia, but liked Paris better. I guess the French girls had a lot to do with that! Ione Wood went to Albany State and is now teaching at Colgate University. She says she has more men than she knows what to do with! Jean Smith is out in Nevada, 3 miles from Reno. She liked Sun Canyon so much she now owns a two thousand acre ranch. George Pratt seemed to like the grocery business too, so he took over his father's store. Pat wonders why groceries are so attractive? Norma Keith got so attached to the Navy, that now she is working at Great Lakes Naval Training Center. Oh well, she and lone have all Ihe luck! Shirley Reynolds is cook for Ihe Western Union road unit. That was a case of true-love, pole to pole! Remember the day the school individual pictures were taken? Jack Reardon liked posing so much that now lie’s listed as Hollywood’s No. 1 Glamour Roy! Rob Frulla is down south of us. After high school, he became interested in jewels. Now he is half owner of the Kimberly Diamond Mines in South Africa. Ursula Raker married Malcolm and now they live in Ohio. Urky al- ways said she’d never live near her relatives! The day we got out of school for Christmas vacation, back in '48. remember how we all list- ened to Jim Lynch’s jazz all morning? Now we hear he owns Dizzy Gillespies' Jam Joint under the Brooklyn Bridge. Must he it was the only spot where no one could hear him. We hope he's making out okay though. Betty Nichols is in Texas where she is telephone oper- ator at Sheppard Field. She always said she'd get to 'Pexas somehow! Last but not least, we remember Reg Needham, lie’s out in Arizona now — MARRIED — to an Indian Squaw. Although each of our former classmates has gone out into Ihe wide world away from the other members of the class of ’49 we wonder if any of them ever think back to the “good old days” at W. C. S. I'm hoping, Miss Whitney, that you have enjoyed reading about your Senior class of ’49 as much as I have enjoyed writing about their where- abouts.

Censored Mrs. Scully Rum And Coke” Class Poem Over the hills and through the woods, To W arrensburg High we go— The winters went slow; The summers went fast; Some of us didn't, but most of us passed. The years drifted by and were Seniors at last. H e thought the arrival of “49” Would be for us happiness sublime, But now that it's here To our sorrow we find That we're leaving much fun and our good friends behind. And as we go forward to the world of big business We find many things that we just can't take with us. The frolics of ball games, assemblies and such Are pastimes we know we'll all miss very much. We wish we could praise all the teachers we knew. And thank each one personally for putting us through, But there are so many teachers and so much to say. We can only remember you on our last day. And now we are going, we must say goodbye To the life that we loved, and to memories held high.

Boys on our basketball leant tire Jack Cun- ningham, Jim Walsh, Harold Wilsey, Herb Smith, and Leland Buell. Three of our girls are varsity cheerleaders; Beverly Prespare, Betty Maltbie, and Alice Whittemore.

Three of our talented girls were on the cheerleading squad. They are Marilyn Burch, Barbara Farrar, and Lenita Bennett.

The 1948 baseball team won its second straight championship in completing a league record of nine victories and one defeat. This championship, coupled with championships in football and basketball, completed a very successful season for alhlelics in Warrensburg Cen- tral School. This success was brought about by hard work on the part of both the team and the Coach. The many hours spent in practicing base run- ning and sliding paid oil' in the end. Football Left to Right, First Row: Gene Xietsche, Ronny Turner, Jack Cunningham, Paul Meadcr, Robert Frulla, Jim Walsh, and Ray Sprague. Second Row' Mr. Stone, Doug Smith, Ernest Frulla, Robert Griffin, Ed Binder, Danny France, Herb Smith, and Art Sprague, Coach Khoury. Third Row: Sy Kaufman, Paul Farrar, Manager; Fred Combs. This year, although without the services of five of last year’s cham- pionship squad, Warrensburg High’s Six-Man Football team ended the year with a record of five wins and three loses. The ending of the season found Warrensburg in a tie for second place in the Tri-County Football League. If the squad had not lost key players because of sick- ness and injury in two key games, it might very well have annexed a second straight championship. This success was due in no end to the untiring work of Coach George Khoury who spent many hours in directing practices and coach- ing the team on the field. After the season’s completion we looked hack over the many hours of hard work and our eight games and we found that although we didn't have a championship team we had a fighting team, a team that could win. This year’s team would like to wish all the teams to follow the best of luck and we hope that next year Coach Khoury will not only have a good team hut a championship team.

At the lime of the printing of this Yearbook, Warrensburg High’s 1948-1949 Basketball team had compiled a record of 11 wins and 4 losses and was in second place in the Adirondack Basketball League. Although without the services of two of last year's champions, this year's team has played good ball in many of its games and has always fought hard for victory. It was due to the untiring work of Coach Khoury and the combined efforts of the members of the squad that made it possible for Warrens- burg to put such a good team on the floor. This year, for the first time, a Junior High team was organized to lake the place of a Junior Varsity team. It is made up of players from the seventh .eighth, and ninth grades. Rah Rah Rah !!! Left to Right: Betty Maltbie, Shirley Smith, Beverly Prespare, Alberta Holt, Alice W hitte- morc, and Joyce Stone. Last September 30 girls turned out for cheerleading practices in the gym in hopes that they would be the lucky ones chosen as the 48-49 cheerleaders. Finally the day came when they till cheered their best in front of the Student Council and two faculty members who were to choose the cheerleading squad. Six girls: Beverly Prespare, Captain; Shirley Smith. Alice Whitte- niore, Betty Maltbie, Joyce Stone, and Alberta Holt constituted the Vars- ity team. Barbara Farrar, Captain; Marilyn Burch, Lenita Bennett. Carol DeOarmo, Libby Mensbausen, and Pat Potter made the J. V. squad. With many tedious hours of practice behind them, they did excep- itonally well and we know that next year will be as successful. Left to Right: Lenita Bennett, Pat Potter, I.ibby Menshausen, Barbara Farrar, Carol DeOarmo, Marilyn Burch.

The first appearance of any Glee Club members was al the All- State Music Clinic in Glens Kails on .November 19th and 20th. Lenita Bennett, Jack Cunningham, Sally Frye and Beverly Prespare repre- sented our group in the choir which was under the direction of Dr. Frank Cavallo. We can look with pride upon the memory of our initial performance of the year in a half hour broadcast from W. W. S. C. in Glens Falls on January 22nd. Besides several numbers by the entire chorus, Lenita Bennett sang two selections from modern operettas, and a girls’ trio, composed of Pal Cunningham, Dorothy Maxam and Lenita Bennett, sang several old English tunes. A few Glee Club members appeared in the operetta, “The Night Before Christmas,” presented in assembly and also for the Parent- Teachers Association at the December meeting. Representatives from our group were prominent in the cast of “Vaudeville Varieties,” the senior-benefit show given in February. Our final and most important appearance of the year was at Com- mencement exercises in June .... in effect, the swan song for our seniors. The Band This year our band lost a great many members, but there were many eager players who stepped in to lake I heir places. Our band was represented at All Stale this year by six capable mem- bers: Joyce Stone, Paul Meader, Helen Montena, Jean Brooks, Gene Nietsche, and Hlizabeth Menshausen. Some of our members played for concerts during the summer with the town hand. The Hi-Rock Staff From Li ft to Right, First Row: Doris Munson, Pat Potter, Eva Lewis, Laura Hanley, Beverly Perepare.

Third Row: Harold Montena, Joyce Stone, Helen Montena, Betty Malt bio, Betty Nichols, Alice Whittemore, Shirley Smith, Pat Cunningham, and Diane Fayen. This year Hie Hi-Rock litis taken another slop in progress. Wo have been experimenting with mimeographing and have found that it produces a successful paper. With many deadlines sel and many not met, still, we managed to let the kids in on what is happening around school. Our 1 usy reporters have been seen (at the last minute!) fly- ing about Ihe hulls, picking up whatever gossip they could find. Many long hours both after school and on Saturdays were spent producing this paper. From one end of Ihe year to Ihe other you could find Ihe staff plugging away to give you Ihe latest news in Sports, Hit Parade, Lit- erary, Jokes, Features, and Fashions. Those leading Ihe stall' were Joyce Stone, Editor: Alice Whittemore, Assistant Editor; and Mr. Scully. Faculty Advisor. The patience of Mr. Scully added to Ihe per- sistence of Joyce Stone, the Editor, is what ultimately gave the paper ils success. Next year we hope to put out as successful a paper as this year's was.

Such little sayings as — The secret room — Did you see the bookcase? — Who was the Tiger man? -— She lost her teeth right in the middle of the second act. Tues- day evening was the final climax to these mysterious wails. There was one reason — that's simple. It was the final night of, 'rite Tiger House,” by Robert St. Glair. This was the first time that the scenery was half of the play. With- out the help of the art and shop classes, we would never have had the right “touch” in the play. Everyone had been working weeks before under the steadfast and persistent direction of Mrs. Rates. She had sympathy when we needed it hut still there was that steady push that we all needed. The cast was well chosen and all did an excellent job. The sly cunningness of Jack Reardon, the mysterious Mystery Woman, the im- pressive Yami. unsuspecting Aunt Eophie, the daringness of Rob Frulla and the excellent handling of Erma by Did Maxam. Yes, I almost for- got Oswald, l ot you need no introduction to him. Mrs. Murdock, de- spite her limp, was very handy around the house. The stage crew should he rewarded for the cooperation that added to the great success of the play. It took direction, people backstage, makeup, costumes, and the cast all working for the same goal. Everyone felt that “Tiger House” was a huge success; the hard work was well worth it. THANKS!
