Waterford High School - Fordian Yearbook (Waterford, NY)

Text from Pages 1 - 100 of the 1952 volume:

Jh Memory Before going on in this journal we would like to pause a moment to honor the memories of Miss Arlene Shaw and Mr. John F. Coughlin. For many years these two late members of the faculty guided students of Waterford High School, not only our class, but others as well. Miss Shaw, the former school nurse and health teacher, passed away in Feb- ruary 1952. Mr. Coughlin, a former science teacher, died in Decem- ber 1951. 'Dedication With sincere appreciation for her patience, understanding, and continual guidance through our four years at Waterford High School, we dedicate the 1952 FORDIAN to MISS HELEN M.

In it are a few of the many wonderful memories we have of Waterford High School. Into these few pages, we have tried to crowd four years of our life. These four years have had many moments of despair and sorrow, together with many hours of enjoyment and pleasure. At this time we cannot possibly realize the value, not only of our acquired knowledge, but also of our acquired friendships. We can only hope that book will serve its purpose- -a recollection of four years of high school that will become more and more treasured as the years pass. Board of Education Harold W.

Signed, Witnessed by, Joyce Reed Louise George Angel Class Mist ory As we traveled on a special four - year cruise through space, we left behind only time- -and gath- ered many precious memories along the route. Waybackin 1948, with a membership of 57, our journey began, and on the way we elected officers for our space cadet club. Connie Brown was elected president; Pat Warren, vice president; Joyce Reed, secretary; and Frances Early, treasurer. Miss Helen Gainor welcomed us on the doorsteps of knowledge and adventure and advised us all through this journey, which- we'll never forget. Memorable events seemed to whiz by too hastily for us. for whatever we did we had a swell time doing it. We stopped our rocket ship a while so that we shy frosh could settle down to winning the pop song contest. Then again we all got aboard and organized a Wednesday noon - hour dancing class. We liked those new steps so well that on January 7, 1949, we had our first (and very successful) dance, the Winter Festival. Be- cause of our dancing class many freshmen attended the canteen each Saturday night. While all this happened we put on an assembly program of nothing other than MANNERS : how not to act - and then how to act at the basketball games and assemblies. Everyone seemed to like it but no one liked it better than we who had so much fun in putting it together. Because of the noon - hour practice basketball games, many of the frosh fellows and gals succeeded in filling a space on the Junior Varsity cheerleading and basketball squads. Before our airship settled down for a summer rest, the dancing class had a party and then we participated in the Moving - up Day program. We hoped we'd end up with such flying colors next year. 1949!---Swish!! We were off again on our special journey leaving on track 309. The plane was taking her cargo to the land of some troubles, excitement and lots of fun. While the plane zoomed for- ward, our gang of sophomore rockets once again elected class officers. They were: Alex Cicchinelli, president; John Cunningham, vice president: Joyce Reed, secretary; Barbara Morse, treasurer. The fellows on the other end of the plane stepped slowly and fancily until at the middle they met the girls and had a square dance. Our November Square dance was such fun that in January we had another one. After using up so much energy, how could one regain his strength than by eating? So in between our two round - and - square dances we had a jolly time cleaning up the remains of our December food sale. The moon smiled gaily upon us and the stars sparkled more than ever when we won the inter - class bas- ketball game over the powerful senior class. We had reached the tip of our activities and now it was time to slowly descend. We participated in the Moving - up Day exercises. After tussling with our exams, we landed on track 309 to end our journey for one more year. Our journey already half completed and our goal now half reached, we. the class of '52. finally passed into our Junior Year. Again in various places along the way we successfully held activities. The first was our annual election of officers. The ones entrusted to help lead us through a most Important yearwere: AlexCicchinelli, president; Frank Cerqua, vice president; Grace Bulson, secretary; and John Cunningham, treasurer. Next was a food sale at the Commodore Cleaners. Then, while we were pass- ing through a large cloud, the bottom of the rocket ship opened and out we all scattered in different directions. It was planned perfectly and everyone ended up in a different spot in which we could satis- factorily sell magazine subscriptions. Before our air - ship returned, almost everyone, even non - mem- bers of our crew, attended the first card party we ever attempted. It certainly helped our treasury on that cold winter night. Then again we started flying along with time. January 26, 1951 was the day we held our big dress - up dance - the Winter Waltz . The beginning of the next month just seemed to drag along until on February 8th, when our class rings arrived. - -April was the month of showers and with those sparkling drops came girls with flowing gowns and fellows with glowing faces to the Rainbow Rhapsody. Steve Anthony played for the Junior - Senior Formal on April 20th. May was the month of chances and dances. It was on May 11th, that we held a round and square dance. That also was the month of the Junior - Senior banquet at the Van Schaik country club. We all knew that the journey would soon end. The ship was once again put on vacation just after we won the field day awards. The ending of June finally arrived; we'd finished our journey for another year. The seniors for the first time boarded the air rocket in September, 1951, and off we went, faster than ever, discovering it was impossible to beat the hands of old - man time. Alex Cicchinelli was elected president; John McKane, vice president; Joan Broadhead, secretary; and Barbara Morse, treasurer. The Senate - Senior dance started the school year off, with everyone feeling warm and friendly toward the teachers and students. Once again'we each parachuted from the rocket ship with the magazine subscrip- tion papers under our arms. Again it was a very successful drive and helped the money box which had been laid aside for the yearbook payments. The girls' sport enthusiasm was just as great as the boys'. On the wings in an assembly program sat the anxious spectators as the junior vs. senior girls' volleyball game. Inside were all the girls, making point after point, which brought our class on to victory after a toujh, riproaring fight. Then the senior boys switched places with the senior-itas and they proved how victorious the Class of '52 is by conquering, first, the juniors and, last, the sophs In the inter - class 'b 0 5=1 V basketball game. Not only are we a very sporty class, but we are also quite musically inclined. Under the leadership of Warren Michon and accompaniment of Elizabeth Hatlee, after many patient rehearsals on our air - ship, we appeared before the public and succeeded in winning the pep song contest. Then December arrives and the magnet on the front of the rocket attracted a great number of per- sons to the Frosty Frolic, December 19, 1951. To Janet Zacarola, one of our happy crew who fell ill, we sent flowers. Then on March 6, 1952 , we held a card party in the gym. On March 29, we presented the senior play, Jenny Kissed Me, which was directed by Miss Hazel Kavanagh and Mr. Charles Fitzpatrick. On April 17th, the junior class held a banquet, with the seniors as their guests. Our yearbook completed, Moving - up Day was right around the comer. Our ship has landed, the world is now open. Each will turn a different way. The sky bids us all her best wishes. The clouds spray upon us their blessings; the raindrops are throwing teardrops of farewell, and the sun shines with a welcoming smile and shows a shiny path for us to follow. On the stage gradua- tion night we leave, hoping to see each other in the future. The guiding spirit of our youth. Our Alma Mater dear, You lead us ever onward To knowledge and to truth. Your praises now we loudly sing As we pledge ourselves so true By lives of worth and high endeavor Honor e'er to you. Our emblem of strength and youth. Your colors, red and white.

Under their flag of green and white and the direction of Prof. Fitzpatrick, their Senior Space Officer, they launched their space ship, the Future, Junior, with Frank Roach at the controls, John Swasey as co - pilot, Mary Kay McCormack, log keeper, and Joanne Carey, captain of finances. They had a very successful Christmas card drive with Janet Cometti in command. The 306'ers food sale was a gala event with planetarians from everywhere coming to sample their expert concoctions; but the biggest event of the year was the capturing of class rings under the direction of Marilynn Sickles, after which the Uranians went to Ikes to celebrate their conquest (with cokes, natch). The Uranians have had a very exciting Junior year, the highlight of which was their Junior - Senior Formal with Mary Kay McCormack, the Junior captain, and Pat Cerqua, representing the Seniors. The Junior - Senior Banquet was another event of the past year where the Juniors' showed their respect and admiration for the Seniors by giving them a meal (bread and water). Theirlasteventwastheiramateurshowwhich was planned to produce an outlet for their talents. The Seniors leave the Uranians with these final words (don’t they wish it) GOOD LUCK, SUCCESS NEXT YEAR AND AU REVOIR. Sophomore Class The Neptuniam from planets 307 and 303 are the intermediate class at our space academy. Their Senior Wardens, Prof. Baker, and Mrs. Davin, have worked valiently with their second year cadets, under the direction of John Warren, President; Mary Van Norden, First Lady of Space; Noreen Heimberger, Secretary of the Interior; and Dorothy Newland, Secretary ofTreas - ury; to produce a very successful food sale and dance. The Neptuniam won honors at the Inter - Planetary Basketball game by conquering the Plutoniam only to be defeated by the powerful Saturniam for the Planetary Championship. The Bakerites also won the annual Pop Song Contest with their rendition of Truly, Truly Fair. The second year cadets have shown knowledge beyond their years by appointing Ronnie Le - Van and Nancy Parkis to keep a class scrapbook. We really haven't much advice to give the Neptuniam except, Study hard because knowledge is power, and power is the prerequisite of graduation. freshman Class The Pluntonians, the youngest class at our space academy, completed their first year of cadet training under the direct! on of Prof. Treworgy, their Seargeant - At - Arms and under their banner of Red and White. Their space ship, Graduation Later, has made two successful flights this year with Earl Quantock at the control, assisted by Bob McGarry with Myra Gaston charting the courses and Bob Kopyc handling the class bank roll. After a long, hard struggle the 304’ers completed their constitution making them a legal member of our space academy, W. H.S. On April 25, they held their first activity, a dress - up dance, with Raymond Bova in charge. Although the Class of '55 has just begun to test its wings, we have been aware of its pres - ence for almost all year by subtle means such as tacks on our chain and out - bunts from Prof. Treworgy, pleading on bended knee for a little peace and quiet in his declining yean. The thing that has warmed the hearts of every senior space man is the looks of admiration and ad - oration these lower classmen bestow upon us. We would like to leave them with this thought in mind, Work hard and in three yean you too will meet your goal. % 210 Eighth (grade Ronald McGovern President Sandra McCormick Vice President Helen Clark Secretary Mary Ann Cerqua Treasurer Miss Granger Advisor 209 Bill O'Brien Frank Fannucci Sandra McGarry Edward McGarry Miss Del Bel Seventh Qrade 206 207 Emerson Bonesteel President Marlene Ackenbrack Ann Holton Vice President George Cobb Joann Sliwinski Secretary Mary Fronczek David Robinson Treasurer Nancy O'Brien 208 President Linda Lueck Vice President Francis Bariteau Secretary Judith Skocylas Treasurer Gerald Pucci 3utAi' v- Class 1951. Student Senate There was lots of noise and excitement when the rocketship, The Student Senate took off this year, with Miss Gainor and Mrs. Davin as navigators. First, elections were held. Joy Hart, from planet'52, was elected Pilot; Nola Bethel, planet '54, Scribe; Joyce MimMack, planet '52, Chancellor of Exchequer’ Jay Gorham, planet '53, Co - pilot; Shirley Smith, planet '52, Announcer. According to tradition, the Senate, along with the Saturnians, presented the Welcome Dance, giving the teachers and new students a hearty welcome to our Space Academy, W. H. S. The Inter - planetary Basketball game - a success by the way - was as usual; Plutonians Vs. Neptunians; Uranians vs. Saturnians. The Saturninas and Neptunians won, and in the play - off the Saturnians hopped on the tail of a comet, and soared through to victory. The Senate sent the Red Cross Drive, Spectator busses, and a Christmas project as gifts to friends on Saturn. The Senate also gave awards to planetarians who earned them according' to the planetarial Point System. The grand finale for their visit on Earth was held May 29, when Le Club Senat Dance gave the Student Senate rocket - ship a hearty send - off for a visit to our new planet, Saturn.

Senior Choir Jumping Meteors, will you musicites sing conectly is a phrase often heard in Musicalia, a planet high in the heavens. Pilot Susan Bevan guides the Senior Choir through many concerts and assemblies a year, with Winifred Burgess at the keyboard. At Christ- mas time the group visited Saturn and Pluto to give an assembly and concert and returned home to begin preparations for the Easter concert which featured a short cantata. In Spring the annual Spring concert and the school festival completed the heavy schedule. The school festival combined all of the planet's musical organizations presenting the Senior Choir, Junior Choir, Glee Club, Junior and Senior Bands. OFFICERS Ronald LeVan------- Geraldine Kilventon Noreen Heimberger- - - - - -Choirmaster Secretary - Treasurer ---------- Librarian junior Choir Cl jojltV eu)rO Also on Musicalia, near to the home of the Senior Choir is the Junior Choir. This is for the members of the Junior High School who like to sing. Every Friday, seventh period, Mrs. Bevan conducts this group. AtChristmastime, they joined the SeniorChoir on their nip to Saturn for the Christ- mas Assembly. Back again on Musicalia, they worked up songs for the gigantic school festival. The Junior Choir helps prepare young students for entrance into Senior Choir and in doing this produces much beautiful music. kN The smallest singing group on Musicalia is the Glee Club. They sing songs for their own enjoyment and this year participated in the group singing at the Saturn Christmas Assembly and in the festival dur- ing the Spring. Qlee Club A most interesting organization on Musicalia is the Senior Band. Clarinets, horns, saxophones, trumpets, etc. combine to play marches, novelty numbers, and even Christmas carols. Bradford Longdo gives the class lessons and conducts the full band. The band played at the Saturn Christmas Assembly, the school festival, and also for the grade school in an assembly near Christmas time. A junior band meets every noon hour and learns through full-band class lessons. French Chorus, the newest musical organization in school, is dir- ected by Warren Michon and accompanied by Winifred Burgess under the guidance of Mrs. Davin. The biggest event in this talented group's memoirs is their appearance on Television in December of 1951. The French Chorus also appeared in the Christmas assembly. The French Chorus Cadets enjoyed themselves and entertained many during their visit to our Space Academy. French Club The French airship named Le Cercle Francais” left its port in October. It went sailing to learn more about France, her language , customs and entertainment. By air mail, with French pen pals, our members started interesting communications. Sally Hart was elected to be in charge of the control boards. In January they had a party to celebrate the Feast of the Three Kings: Shirley Sheridan, queen; selected Charles Field as her king. Madame Davin certainly planned a success- ful year for her French passengers. A banquet with top French dishes was held in the Spring. Ml Parade Club If you want to know the most popular tune of the week, just ask any member of the Hit Parade Club. Recently organized by Navigator Fleet, this club boasts that its membership is the largest in the Space Academy. Under the direction of George Heroux , Pilot, the club has enjoyed a most successful year of singing and dancing. A committee was chosen at the beginning of the year to plan programs for the sub- sequent meetings. This committee also had charge of an assembly program in May. It was a minstrel show, complete with a Mr. Interlocutor and end men. Joyce Fredette , chairman, Edna Williamson, and Fanny Williamson were the members of the commit- tee in charge. International Relations Club The International RelationsClub, piloted by Mr. freworgy, meet Thursday, seventh period, to debate international affairs. Thisyearthe International Relations Club Cadets put on an assembly in our Space Academy, entitled, You Bet Your Life, copied from Groucho Marx's show of the same name. It was a huge success; the Juniors won, receiv- ing an addition to their treasury. {Junior Mist or leal Association The New York State Junior Historical Association, with advisor, Mr. Sekowski and Pilot Robert McGarry, also meet on every Thursday, seventh period. Organized in 1948 , there is a total membership of 5000 in the 123 Chapters in New York State. Waterford’s Chapter is called the Halfmoon Point Chapter. In May, the annual convention was held in Buffalo, Representatives from Waterford’s Chapter attended. School Service Club Zeaekers Assistants- Junior and Senior girls and boys who are interested in elementary teaching actually get a chance to try their talent in our Space Academy, W. H. S. Under the direction of Mrs. Coons , these girls and boys help children who are behind in their work because of illness or lack of initi- ative. Also they help those who are exceptionally brilliant to go ahead of their class. This work sometimes helps the student teachers to decide what their life's work will be. Monitor And Tire Squad Now we come to the student guardians of our space academy, the Monitor and Fire Squad Members. All of us are familiar with the function of these policemen such as guiding us around the halls quickly and orderly. Under the direction of Bill Bryk, captain, they have successfully controlled the flight of many speeding rockets, although a few of the Frosh innovations have given them more trouble than is customarily encountered in the line of duty. The other half of our safety department is the fire-squad. This is composed of the group of boys who brave the flames, after the building has been evacuated, checking each room for open windows and delinquent evacuees. In the past year they have sponsored several fire drills and two atomic tests. According to their records the best time for a fire drill in the last year was less than two minutes. Just a little reminder, boys, we will need some traffic cops for our skyways next year. Any- body willing? Se i® }-] a o ve S e'LL Po Varsity After opening the season with a thrilling 43 - 38 win over our strong arch rival Burnt Hills , the Red and White cagers went on successfully until meeting Lansingburgh. The Morrismen shellacked the Burgers” in the first half, only to be beaten by a dismal second half that saw the Fordians tally only 6 points. Disheartened by this, the Waterford Quintet also lost their next game with Hoosick Falls before they regained their fight. Then they went on to win their share of the honors and to end the season with a better - than - average record which consisted of: double wins over Keveny, St. Peter's, Heatly, and Burnt Hills; but they also dropped a duo to Hoosick Falls and a single game with Lansingburgh. The team was as Follows: Seniors: Captain Ron Gillespie, Bill Bryk, Joe Pic chi. Bud Cobb, Frank Cerqua, George Heroux, and John McKane; Juniors: Jack Croker and Frank Roach; Soph- omores: John Warren and Bob Pallozzi; Freshmen: Bill Reuter and Marty Bozak. Captain Ron Gillespie was the team's leading scorer, with 256 points for an average of 16 points per game. Bill Bryk, the team's second mainstay, after using up his eligibility, ended his season with the closing of the first semester with an average of almost 10 points per game . Bill Bryk's absence was felt heavily by the team, as he was the tallest man on the team and a top rebounder. The team's greatest honor was being chosen to take part in the Sectionals at Convention Hall in Saratoga for the Class C championship. As in the past year, the team couldn’t seem to lick the jinx of getting past the first game of sectional play. This, primarily, was because the giants of Columbia High School sported a little too much height of the Fordians. The team's record is as follows: OPP.

V. Squad came on fast to win their last 5 consecutive games and end the season an 8 - 7 record. The leading scorers for the team were Bob Pallozzi, with 93 points, and Bill Reuter, with 79 points. Other members of the team were: Rick McGovern, Don Shiesley, Chuck Cobb, Tony Vozzy , John Swasey, Earl Quantock, Jack Gyves, Marty Bozak, Bill Plummer, Frank Stevenson, Ed Dandeneau, SkipHughes, JohnCampbell, Bob Kopyc, Jim Michon, Charles Fields, Frank Roach , John Warren, Ed Opitz, Bruce MacHaffie, and Ernest Phillips.

And this time, as never before, his prediction was proved true. Time and again the Red and White Harriers won meets by tremendous scores, with 4 and 5 Waterford men tied for first place. Not only was the varsity blessed with such balance but the junior varsity was, as well. This means that, with many junior varsity competitors returning, we can look forward to another winning team next year. The cross-country team scheduled 6 competitions and was victorious in five of the outings, only being beaten by Class A, Mont Pleasant. The team copped the Cobleskill Invitational meet when Ron Gillespie led to the tape all entries from four other schools. The team's greatest achievement came when, for the fourth consecutive year, it success- fully defended the Class C crown and placed five men on the Section II team. The varsity team was made up of seniors: Ron Gillespie, Joe Picchi, Ron Flanigan, and Bud Cobb; along with Bill Plummer, Dave Merwitz and Bob Norcella. The most successful J. V. Unit was composed of: Stan Dudek, Chuck Cobb, Junior Dandeneau, Rick McGovern, and Don Shiesley.
