We are about to go forth to take our individual places in the complex civilization of today and we will succeed just as we did in our high school careers. That we might have a reminder of the joys and pleasures, disappointments and struggles in high school we have compiled this publication, the 1950 Fordian. Each time we glance through the pages, in years to come, we will see the faces of old friends, and of activities which will recall fond memories. We sincerely hope, with this in mind, that the memories preserved in this book will refresh enjoyable recollections of the Class of 1950. Jane Newland, Editor-m-Chief.

Thirty Thr 19r 0 Fordian CLASS HISTORY In the year of 1946 some eighty odd (and I do mean odd) students entered the Freshman Class at Waterford High School. That to you may not seem to be a very spectacular event for the same process had been occuring every year for quite some time, but the thing that made the arrival so important was the fact that it was our class, not the class of ’48. 72. or '88. but the Class of 1950. With Jane Xewland as President, we whipped through the Freshman year presenting the Freshman Hop as our big social event. Every Freshman was there and the only thing to mar the evening was an absence of more freshmen. But despite this detail, the affair was acknowledged by all who attended (Fresh- men) as the most outstanding event of the year. As Sophomores, we were fortunate to obtain as our advisor, Mr. Baker. In this year we put away our childish things and showed ourselves in our fullest array of originality and imagination. President Don Shudt guided us through a year crammed full of such successes as Sophomore Leap Year Dance in which our no longer infantile class leaped rhythmically to the “Solid Senders” all eve- ning. All the Sophomores were there (perhaps assessing every one a ticket ac- counted for this fact) and the dance as remembered by those who attended as notable. In this year we sponsored the Junior Hush Contest. As you no doubt all remember, “Truth or Consequence” plagerized the idea wholesale changing the name to “Mrs. Hush” and in place of Franklin Smith using Clara Bow. We made plans for suing for reinversement, but June and the summer holidays arrived before Mr. Baker passed his bar examination and so we had no legal representa- tion and the case was dropped. Our Junior year began with class elections and Bill Cerqua was chosen President. Our highlight of the year was the “Junior Jinx Jump.” The “Jinx” seemed to refer not only to the lack of non-Juniors but Juniors as well. However, those who attended agreed it was a gala affair. The Junior-Senior Banquet was held at the Sunset Inn. During the course of the evening a mock class meeting was held and Jean Mosley sang I Don’t See Me In Your Eyes Anymore.” All agreed that the entertainment was extra special. We incurred quite an expense in souvenirs. It seem everybody took one. The expense came in when we found that they had taken table cloths, napkins, ash trays, and silverware. It was that year that we sold “pinecone door-hangers”, purchased our class rings, and had dances and food sales galore. And the the climax. In 1949, as Seniors, we eagerly entered our final year. We surpassed heights attained in our former years for being original in doing the unexpected. Richard LaBarge was elected as President and Mr. Baker had managed to stick out two years and was starting on his third year as advisor. Instead of the traditional 3-act play, we presented 3 one-act plays which were well received. For the third time we joined with another class, the Class of 1951 in presenting a formal dance. In May we out did ourselves with a dance called Thirty-five Waterford Hi fill School “The Dragon Fly. The bizzarre decorations were red dragons crawling all over black paper, outlined in luminous paint and with eyes that flashed on and off. The decorations were overshadowed by Mr. Baker's orange and green neektie, highlighted by a purple and pink peacock. For once every one was there and it was an outstanding sueeess. The “Fordian” climaxed our four startling (to say the least) years at Waterford High. There were only 39 (still odd, though) left, but as we excited triumphantly on the evening of June 26. 1950, to the “Land of Hope and Glory,” there was a glitter in each eye for the four lusty, thoughtful, enjoyable, wonderful, eventful years spent at Waterford High School. Francis Dirocher CLASS w I L I. e, the C lass of 50. being of brilliant mind, remarkable memory, and perfect body, do hereby declare this to be our last will and testament, hereby voiding all other wills or promises made previously. To the faculty we leave the privilege of beginning another hectic year with another Senior C lass and to aid them with their task we leave seven burlap bags in which they may collect the Seniors’ sling shots, spitballs, comic books and gum. To the Juniors we leave a good supply of sling shots, spitballs, comic books, and gum to put in the teachers burlap bags. To the Freshmen we leave our ability to conduct a quiet, orderly class meeting for which we are so well-known throughout the school. To the eighth grade we leave our class colors, yellow and white, and our homeroom 303. To our advisor, Mr. Baker, we leave a sincere “Thanks” for his guidance during our last 3 years in Waterford High. SPECIAL BEQUESTS Kay Jones leaves her happy-go-lucky charm to Laura Powers. Maybe now you can stop writing letters to Dorothy Dix, Laura. Alice hish leaves her love for cheerleading to her sister Betty. Jack Lee bequeaths his passion for motor-bikes to—anyone who can stay on one. lo brother Hon, Bob Gillespie leaves his basketball ability. Not that he needs it! The difficulties of a class treasurer, Catherine Curtin leaves to Ed Hill. Doesn’t Ed have enough already? Janet owes leaves her love for St. Mary’s Corps to all music lovers. Dorothy Van Alstyne leaves her shyness to Neil Whitehurst. Oh, come now! Dorothy Coonradt leaves her love for sports to Eva Catallo. What sports do you mean, Dot? Thirty-xix The 1950 Fordian Bev Bristol leaves her ability to get in before the tardy bell to anyone with wings on their feet. Marion Smith leaves her trials and tribulations with a certain boy from 'Burg to Pat Carter. Anne Catallo bequeaths the ability to get 90% on a Senior essay to Reed Walters, also 5 sheafs of writing paper, an encyclopedia, a dictionary, and 1,867 reference books. John Conti leaves his mathematical brain to Terry Trimmer. Now you can figure out all Prof. Baker’s riddles, Terry. Jane Newland leaves her seat at the Troy Vocal Society to Bob Hagadorn, also all the gum that is stuck under it. Jean Mosley leaves her singing ability to Vivian Gilman. Fritzie Durocher leaves his title as class woman-hater to Frenehie LaFond. (What fool wrote that?) To Dick Jordan, Dick LaBarge leaves his love of Murder Incorporated.

The Senior Class also leaves Miss Rannev the most prized possession— peace! We, the undersigned, leave you with these few words—we were only kidding! AYitnesses: Signed: Ragmop June Lee Crowther Quicksilver How About That? Thirty-seven Waterford High School PKOPHECY Once upon a midnight dreary, Sitting at my ouigi board, I asked the spirit, “Ouigi, Ouigi, whence has gone the Senior hoard?” Then the table started shaking, The sky was lit with some strange light. The Ouigi told each Senior’s history Throughout the remainder of the night. Janet Bowes, a drum major she wanted to be, And travel around the whole world to see. Now she is working with the Ringling Company Not as drum major, but as trainer to a flea. Beverly Bristol’s wistful smile An agent from Hollywood did beguile; Now she’s photographed daily without cease, And is called, not “The Body,” but The Teeth.” Ralph Buckbee acquired some quaint little ways, He beat his sister into a daze; When she grew big his little head she did dent, Ralph now resides in an oxygen tent. Anna Catallo, so fast and efficient, At setting up pins she proved quite proficient; Now she’s a career girl and vows she’ll never marry, Although she is asked by every Tom, Dick, and Harry. Joann Castracani, who was in crowds a good mixer, Started selling Yakov’s Golden Elixer. Singing “Buy my concoction and from ills you’ll be free,” From bubonic plague and measles she freed the country. Tony Cerqua, that tall scholar boy, Wanted to write books like Leo Tolstoy; To Russia he went to write a few lines, But alas, he’s now working in the Siberian Salt Mines. Bill Cerqua went to New York to play basketball, But instead got a job in Carnegie Hall; Each night throngs of people Bill does greet, And then directs them to their seat. Thirty-eight The 1950 Fordian Phyllis Chapman, who for red hair had such a passion, Insisted on dyeing everyone’s ’till it became quite a fashion; But when the fad ended, Phil and her henna, Were chased out of Waterford, all the way to Penna. John Conti with his brown soulful eyes, Was so adapt at running ’50’s card selling drives, That after graduation straight to Hallmark he goes, And now he writes most of the greeting cards deathless prose. Dorothy Coonradt (known to friends as Do-Do), Wanted nothing but a boy friend whose car had dyna-flow-flow; She ended up instead with a red-haired bus conductor Who, of all her hard-earned savings, did immediately mulluct her. June Crowther, that great opera lover, (Much to the chagrin of her brother); Placed a wager on a horse and lost her bet, Now she is clean-up woman at the Met. Catherine Curtin, who was so honest with us all, Went to Boston to see Symphony Hall; When on her good fortune did suddenly fall, She held up banks and made a very good haul. Mary Danusiar, our class reformer, Took a boat to Haiti where the climate is warmer; There among the native oranges and mangoes, She teaches abarigines Polish hops and tangoes. Larry DeVoe, the Senior with a car, Picked apples all summer and put money in a jar; When the jar was full, Larry fled, And now he lives in luxury in a cottage painted red. Francis Durocher of the National Guard. Became a drill sergeant and worked real hard; Until one day a general he forgot to salute, And then was demoted to a mere recruit. Doris Empie (we knew she’d go far), Took off one day in her brand new car; After a long trip she arrived in Maine, Where she settled down to life with a Great Dane. Alice Fish left Waterford in a hurry, She had just gotten a call from Arthur Murray; He said he needed an assistant dance instructor, And that if she could make Irish stew, he would soon induct her. Thirty-nine IVaterford High School When Bob Gillespie zoomed by in his Blue Streak, The girls would swoon and sometimes shriek; For although Bob was handsome and never mean, He couldn’t afford No-Knock Gasoline! Kay Jones could make such delicious cake, That she decided a hydrogen bomb to make; She should have stayed with her heart’s desire, Because now she’s resting on a tall church spire. Dot Juenger, who in Chemistry assembled things with such ease, Invented a remarkable new kind of deep freeze; One day while she admired it, a gust of wind rushed past her, It blew the poor girl on and—Dearie me, Disaster! Matt Kelts (we called him the Polka King), About an accordian knew a thing; But music wasn’t meant to be his vocation, And now in “Bartlett’s” from his poetry, there’s many a quotation. In English class Dick La Barge did love to recite, He’d exclaim about Shakespeare with all his might; Now Dick is working with station NBC, Rehearsing their star chimpanzee. Jack Lee, that handsome young knave, A soldier, he wanted to be; But, alas, Jack put off for sea, He made a mistake and—eeeek he’s in the Navy. On a quiz show, Blake MacHaffie won first choice, So he went to New York to study voice, But at singing he couldn’t get to first base, So he returned home and is now manufacturing dainty lace. Gerry Michon, the mad scientist of Waterford High, U as so good at Chemistry he didn’t even have to try; He went to Harvard as Science dean, And to his pupils was exceedingly mean. Jean Mosley, to California did go, To get away from all this ice and snow; The people in the aisles did roll, When she sang at the Hollywood Bowl. Stanley Muraski (tom cat on the keys), Went to England where he married a Marquise; Now he is master of a huge household, With 47 chamber maids and all of them bold. Forty The 1950 For diu n Jane Newland, whose love for music was great, Longed to sing at Carnegie Hall; But once in New York she didn’t rise to fame, Oh well, their lose is Community Chorus’s gain. Joe Opitz, that great big fellow, Had so much fun making jello, That he wanted to be a great cook, But wound up being a big time crook. Philomena Reo so skilled at making change, Once ventured onto a shooting range; Ticket-taker Phil still sits behind the money till, But it’s at her own golf driving range. Le Roy Shaw, to the circus did go, To spend a little of his dough; But in his hair the manager tied a bow, “Take it off Le Roy” now cry the boys at the burlesque show. Marion Smith wanted to be a gym teacher, But the information never could reach her; So our little Marion up and quit school, And is now instructor at the Waterford Wading Pool. Don Shudt, always so shy and so cute, Was minus his one front toot(h); The other day he got into a fight, And now he is a dentist’s delight, Anna Stall, who is really quite shy, Never whistled when a fellow went by; She now resides in the city of Oakland, Not with her first, but with her sixth husband. Ronnie Ten Eyck to roller skating was true, Even though he was usually black and blue; His great ambition in life was to be a great baker, But instead, traveled to Egypt and became a faker. Dorothy Van Alstvne, who was always so shy, Had no trouble in snaring her guy; You guessed it, she married her Mike, And with him she traveled 'round the country by bike. Mrs. Walters was proud of her boy Ray, He worked hard, day after day; What would she say if she saw him now, Reclining on a garbage scow? Forty-one W ater ford High School Who’s more fun-loving than Mitzi Sees? She used to come and go in a breeze; You know how Mitzi loves to giggle, Well she’s now teaching how to wiggle. Fish Fatregnani had a great future, But not as a baker and not as a butcher, And not as taxi driver or keeper of a sub, But as General Manager of the Waterford Boy’s Club.

In September, under the direction of the advisors, Miss Gainor and Miss Tetrault, the annual elections were held. The new Student Senate elected Marion Smith, President; Robert Shovah, Vice-President; Winifred Burgess, Secretary; Alice Fish, Treasurer, and Irene Adler, Speaker of Assembly. The Senate began its successful year by cooperating with the Seniors in the presentation of the annual Welcome Dance for the new teachers. Bundle Day highlighted the Senate’s activities. During this Christmas project, twenty-four bags of clothing were collected and sent to the Save The Children Federation, who distributed the bundles throughout the United States and Europe. Among its many numerous projects were the revision of the point system of honor awards, Waterford High School’s representation in the T.A.I.S.A., Moving-Up Day and Le Club Senat Dance. Fijty-jour FIRE AND MONITOR SQUAD Captain Ray Walters The constant danger of fire is always prevalent, thus it is the duty of the Fire Squad to be alert and always reminded of its destructive purposes. When weather permits the Fire Squad assists in drilling and aiding the students in a speedy and successful clearing of the school. No social function is allowed, unless there is one or more members of the squad in attendance. Another important but greatly abused service group is the Monitor Squad. They arc the boys that stand in our halls watching traffic. Can you imagine the confusion without these boys? They are the Police Department of Waterford High School for they direct and keep things orderly.

Miss Ursula Tetrault The French Club is open to those qui parle en frangais exclusively . A drama, the Maiden of France presented in an assembly, highlighted the activities for the year. The purpose of the French Club is to give the French speaking students of the school an opportunity to become more accustomed to the language by taking an active part in the club meetings and conversations which are entirely in French. Can you take a picture and truthfully say that you are proud of it? Cer- tainly the Photography Club can answer this question with a vociferous, “Yes.” The reason for this is because this year the club has devoted its time to the study of the fundamental stages of taking and developing first the film and then the negative.

Seventy-three HOWLING TEAM The season of 1950 was the first since 1943 that Waterford High School was represented in bowling. In spite of lack of experience, the boys witnessed a successful season with five wins and five losses. Waterford entered an area tournament at Albany at which class A. B, C, I) schools were present. Waterford placed sixth among thirty-nine outstanding teams and captured first place for the class C schools. ith only two players leaving this year, the team can certainly look forward to a successful season next year. Seventy-four BASEBALL Under the capable leadership of Coach Treworgy, Waterford High School was once more represented in baseball. With five of the first nine players grad- uating last year, most of the material was green. However, most of the pitchers were experienced players and thus the pitching staff was very strong. Last spring Waterford High School’s baseball team enjoyed a successful season. The team won six and lost six. Most of the pitching staff were novices except for veteran moundsman Frank Healv, who returned this year. Next year many players will be returning including a good pitching staff from which Coach Trewargy will most likely build into another successful dia- mond crew. The team consisted of: Don LaValley Jim Glavin Bob Gillespie Jack Kline Don Brundige •Bill Ccrqua Frank Van Norden Bill Jeavons Returning veterans. •“Fish” Patregnani •Jack Gentile •Ron Gillespie •Frank Healey •Gerry Guyer •Dick Jordan •Henry Roy Seventy-five TENNIS TEAM For over a period of twenty years or more Waterford lias not been repre- sented in tennis. However, under the direction of Coach Baker, Waterford led the season with flying colors. Meeting such competition as Lansingburgh, La Salle and Troy, our tennis team proved their ability in this sport. Since only one member will be leaving this year, the team can be certain of a brilliant future in the coming year.
