Waterford High School - Fordian Yearbook (Waterford, NY)

Text from Pages 1 - 100 of the 1953 volume:

Cun nente We, the class of '53 Have taken off and gone to sea. A large destroyer holds us Seniors, We are the flagship and the leader. The U.S. S. Senior - 306, Is headed by Vice-Admiral Prof. Fitz. A ship commander we too possess, For Prof. Sekowski helps us progress. The next in line to keep us in order, Is our crew President - Executive Officer. Then there’s the Veep, or rather Mate, Who always helps to steer us straight. Of course, we have a Secretary, And as our Log Keeper is necessary. Our crew Treasurer is still the same, For our Fund Keeper will always have that name. So last of all officers who direct. Is our Parliamentarian - Officer of the Deck. These ship officers down the line, Have held our course since '49. And steered us in our expedition, To completion of our mission. Thus now in 1953, We’ve weathered all our trips at sea To graduation we look ahead, As our ship is homeward led. And we hope that all our fleet, Will find success that none can beat. And now we also wish to thank, The highest of our fleet in rank, Yes. Mr. Field, our Admiral great, Will always with us highly rate. 7(Je Dedicate To you, Mr. Charles Fitzpatrick, for giving us your constant encour- agement, guidance, love and understanding during the past four years of our lives, and to you, Mr. Walter Sekowski, for giving us so unsel- fishly your time, patience and co-operation during our most important year in high school -- our Senior year --we dedicate this 1953 For- dian as a memento of our humble thanks and sincere appreciation. Preact feed4. ------our fearful trip is done, The ship has weather'd every rack, the prize we sought is won. Walt Whitman With the words of an American poet, prai- sing an example of American courage and ac- complishment, I congratulate you, the class of 1953, a fine group of American youth, on the completion of your high school career. May this yearbook be a reminder to you of the small crises you have faced togeth- er, the hours of youthful fun you have shared together, and the tasks you have ac- complished together, with your contempora- ries and advisers. These experiences are not ending. They are merely moving into a bigger, more com- plicated world. The American wa,y of life in which you have grown up will oe your guide to full, meaningful and happy lives. Charles M.

Since that time, 91 students have been elected to membership in the chapter in recognition of their Scholarship, Leadership, Service and Character. New members are tapped into the Society on Moving-Up-Day each year, by members who have been tapped in previous years. After once being tapped, a student becomes a lifelong member. It is the responsibility of each member to fulfill the obligations imposed upon him by the Society. Each year the Society conducts scholarship examinations for its members. The winners of these competitions are awarded scholarships to approved colleges. Members of the Class of 1953 chosen in May, 1952, are Jay Gorham and Carolyn Rivage.

MARY KAY McCORMACK ......HELEN CAMPOLI ----MARILYNN SICKLES ■.......JOANNE CAREY ----MILDRED CLEMENT 'KJiiC 7e t4 Ke tt We, the Class of '53, being of unusually sound mind, body, and memory, do hereby declare this to be our first and last will and testament as we head our individual ships into deeper and darker waters in that vast sea of the unknown and unpredictable future. To the commanders we leave many thanks for their help in propelling our destroyer to its landing dock —graduation. To the Juniors, we leave our remarkable ability of getting along with the other classes in school and amongst ourselves. To the Sophomores, we leave a duffel bag full of good wishes for their Junior and Senior voyages. May these final trips be as happy and successful as ours were. To the Freshmen, we leave our love for learning, which they will do plenty of in the next three years. To the eighth grade, we will our class colors—green and white—and our destroyer 306, still filled with the memories of the work and play, the joys and disappointments, the successes and failures, the fun and worries, the laughter and tears that will always be a lasting memento of the four most wonder- ful years of our lives. To Prof. Sekowski, who bravely took the post as our commander during our last voyage, we leave a hearty thank you for giving us his time and patience during our fourth and most crucial voyage. Last, but certainly not least, to Prof. Fitzpatrick, each and every member of the Class of '53 leaves his sincere thanks and gratitude for all the kindness, trust, devotion and understanding given to us during each of our four voyages. We hope that his memories of us will be as pleasant as our memories are of him. Jane Bacchiochi, Ruth Breen, and Joyce Fisher leave Mrs. Wade a large economy size bottle of asprins for use after they leave health class. Madeline Bouchard and Paul Kopcha leave their worries as Editor and Assistant Editor to Jeanne Merritt and Marilyn Riley. Smooth sailing girls! To Pat Terry, Connie Bougeois and Sally Grimes leave their ability to be faithful to one boy. Which one will it be Pat? Joan Brown leaves her musical talent ( and she has plenty ) to Freddie Johnson. To Sally Hart, Barbara Liberty leaves all her flirting ways. Watch out for those roving eyes, boys. Helen Campoli and Bob Leonard leave their ability to get along with the teachers to J. B. Campbell. Joanne Carey leaves her Sunday afternoon bowling sessions to anyone who enjoys bowling. The only catch is that she's taking Bobby with her. Bob Charbonneau and Jack Swasey leave George Batto their carefree casualness. Millie Clement and Gail McCullen leave the Newland twins three envelopes of school tokens. After they're used you'll have to walk girls. Janet Cornetti and Mary Kay McCormack leave their love of roller skating to Joan Coonradt. Gotten any slivers lately Joan? Jack Croker and Frank Roach leave Don Fortin their sports ability. As if he doesn't have enough of his own! George Demetros and John Ronesi leave their shyness to Eddie Opitz. Nick Falcone leave his dancing ability to — on second thought he's taking it with him. Geroge Fero leaves his dislike for girls to another woman-hater — Chuck Cobb. Sue Finn leaves her easy-going manner to Noreen Heimberger. Now Mrs. Davin won’t even bother you Nofeen. Shirley Forman and Mary Modesti leave their love of the 'Berg to Mary Van Norden. Now, why would they do a thing like that? Dick Fuller leaves his trips to Northside to Bill Sickles. Hope your feet don't get too sore Bill. Mary Anne Gemon wills Dot Bariteau three inches. To Joan St. Onge, Shirley Giles leaves her daily trips to and from Cohoes. Jay Gorham leaves his position as Student Senate Pres, to anyone with a strong heart and a 50 lb. gavel. Dick Jordan just leaves, and he’s mighty glad of it. To Ronny Snay, Rick Reo leaves his love of fun. Jane Riberdy wills her acting ability to June Breski. Now it's your turn to get dramatic June. Marilynn Sickles leaves her understanding of chemistry to Jimmy Michon. Careful of the chloroform Jimmy! Edna and Fannie Williamson leave their evening walks to Beverly Bame, who is already doing a good job of it. Frances Layton leaves her book entitled How to Understand Men to Nancy Knight. Careful Nan, you might find a broken heart between the first two chapters. Geroge Mossey leaves his ambition to Larry Eafrato. Wimessed by: Bach Mitzi Anonymous Signed by: Jane Riberdy United we stand, divided we fall (?£ Zd4 £0$. In September 1949 we, the class of '53, a crew of 70 shy Freshmen, set out in search of a sea-worthy vessel and a sturdy commander. Lady Luck was with us, for we succeeded in obtaining both. Destroyer 306 then embarked on her Maiden Voyage with Commander Fitzpatrick at her helm. He was assisted by Executive Officer Carolyn Rivage. Our chief concerns were our Charter and our Freshmen Hop, The Sno-Ball”. The latter was held January 6, 1950 in the fleet’s recreation room. Although there was rough weather that evening, many sailors from other ships attended, making it a huge success. Moving-up-Day and the Club Senate Dance brought an end to the activities of our first voyage. We reached ’’Sophomore Island where we dropped anchor for two months rest. In September 1950 our ship set sail for Halfway Bay . Many of our crew had developed severe cases of sea-sickness for only 55 of the original 70 remained. With Mary Modesti as Executive Officer we began to work like beavers selling Christmas cards, wrapping paper, stationery and holding food sales. On June 23, 1951, Commander Fitzpatrick peered through his telescope and saw that our four-year journey was half completed. We were passing through Half-way Bay and approaching Juniors Isle . Shore-leave was taken and we all spent our vacation on Summer Island . Our thrid cruise with Frank Roach as Executive Officer was one merry whirl after another. Activities followed each other in rapid succession. Suddenly it happened! On February 1, 1952 a special carrier dropped 45 shinny metal objects on our ship; one for each member of the crew. No, they wern't A-bombs, they were our class rings. Everyone, especially our crew agreed they were the most beautiful class rings ever! On May 16 our crew and the crew of '52 presented the annual Jr. -Sr. Formal, a truly gala affair. The following Thursday, May 22, we were hosts to the Seniors for the Jr. -Sr. Banquet, which was held at the Hendrick Hudson. Moving-up-Day came, we found ourselves Seniors--looking forward to the fourth and final lap of our journey. This last voyage began in September 1952 and ended in June 1953. Only 10 months in time, but a life- time in memories. Commander Fitzpatrick was promoted to Vice-Admiral of the fleet. Prof. Sekowski took command of Destroyer 306, and Marilynn Sickles as Executive Officer lead our ship through a vast number of activities. Two of the most important were the publishing of our Fordian and producing our Senior Play, We Shook the Family Tree , which was presented December 5 and 6. On December 8, Vice-Admiral Fitzpatrick's wife presented him with a son,- Kevin. On January 22, the Juniors gave the Jr. -Sr. Banquet and we were guests of honor. Moving-up-Day is over, our yearbook is completed and our four-year voyage is at an end. Looking through the portholes of our ship, we see our final port—Graduation. Departing from our vessel as the Class of '53, we board private vessels waiting for each of us at the dock.

For their activities, the Juniors held two round and square dances, a food sale and sold household merchandise. The proceeds from these activities helped finance the Junior-Senior Banquet at which the Juniors were the hosts. The happiest event of their voyage was the arrival of their class rings in February. The members of the crew who guided their Destroyer were: Richard Hurst--Executive Officer, Richard McGovern--Mate, Noreen Heimberger--Log Keeper, Marilyn Riley--Fund Keeper and Kathryn Combs--Officer of the Deck.

SetU i Senior Choir meets during period one Monday through Friday in Destroyer 002. Commander Bevan directed the group and Joan Brown was accompanist during the first half of the voy- age and was assisted by Fred Johnson on the home voyage. Included among its performances were the Saratoga County Music Festival in Convention Hall, and the Christmas, Easter, and Spring Concerts in the recreation room. The entire Fleet is very proud of the tremendous success of the choir in all its performances, and wishes them continued success in the future. The officers of the choir were as follows: Helen Campoli--Executive Officer for the first half and Nick Falcone--Executive Officer for the second half of the voyage. The Log Keepers for both halves were Jane Riberdy and Fannie Williamson. tycinun The Junior Choir is composed of students in the 7th and 8th grades who possess musical talent and who are selected for the choir by the Music Department. They meet every Friday during 7th period in the Music Room for rehearsals. With Commander Bevan directing, the choir sang this year at the Christmas Assembly, the Easter Assembly and completed a very successful year by singing at the Spring Festival. tyuHioi '%i4Z viic U rfteociatiott The Half Moon Point Chapter of the Junior Historical Association is headed by Commander Sekowski. At the meetings, the members study New York State history and work on pro- jects dealing with New York State. Commander Ensign advises this club which is composed of members of the seventh and eighth grades. These members learn the fundamentals of cooking. They have made candy, muffins, pudding, cookies and cakes. 7(?Cu Every Thursday afternoon the typing club assembles in Destroyer 302 under the direction of Commander Saunders. At their meetings the members of the club work to increase their accuracy and speed. As one of their projects this year, they sponsored a typing contest. The results were very successful, proving that the club has realized its worth- while ambition. The officers in the club are: Shirley Giles, Executive Officer and Helen Campoli, Log Keeper. These two organizations offer any sailor who is interested in the French language the songs and customs of France, an opportunity to satisfy that interest. Commander Davin advises these groups and feels they are very instrumental in further- ing students' knowledge of French. The members of this club should be complimented on the progress they have made during the past year. With Commander Salisbury as advisor, the members have knit articles while learning. 'PwqHteticattx @Cc The Prognosticator's Club was formed this year by Commander Treworgy. This club meets once a week and makes predictions on important events. They have been 83 correct this far in their predictions. A recent addition to the extracurricular activities of the Fordian Fleet was the Magic Club. This club meets in 001 every Thursday 7th period under the direction of Sea- man Jay Gorham. The school band, directed by Commander Longdo, meets in room 002 on Monday and Thursday during the seventh period to further their musical talents. The fleet can be proud of their accomplishments since its organization. The teacher assistants are a group of Juniors and Seniors who help the Commanders with their duties. At the same time, the assistants, organized by Commander Ranney, get experience in the field of teaching. 7K y Ut yi kcC 0?Oie SquadA The monitor squad, headed by Commanders Merritt and Zelie, keeps order on our decks and keeps our fleet sailing smoothly. The crewman in charge of the monitors is Robert Leonard, who is Captain. The fire monitors give assistance during a fire drill by keeping the drill orderly, closing doors and helping to clear the building rapidly. They are present at all activities where they enforce the fire prevention rules of the fleet. ScAaaC Service Commander Merritt instructs the members of this club--one of the most useful in our fleet--in the operation of the fleet's apparatus such as the movie projector, the tape recorder and the ditto. After learning the fundamentals of these machines, the sailors volunteer their services to the members of the faculty who need the equipment. @Ccc Sailors fortunate enough to possess artistic ability, find this club a fine outlet for their talent. The club is directed by Commander Boison, and the achievements of the club are periodically displayed in the halls. ?i_L he w nts S H Jri n K — f tU- s Soccex The Soccer team, coached by Commander Sekowski, placed fourth in the Tri-County league.

After much practicing, the girls made their debut early in January and proved to be one of the best and most attractive squads in the area. Besides so capably leading the cheering at all the Varsity games, the girls cooperated with the Junior Varsity cheerleaders and presented a pep rally during an assembly. As a result of this, attendance and school spirit at the games were greatly improved. Cheering on the Junior Varsity squad were: Marie Conti, Janet Cornetti, Myra jean Gaston, Noreen Heimburger, Nancy Knight, Mary Kay and Sandra McCormack and Pat Terry. When the girls handed in their uniforms after the last basketball game of the season, they felt a pang of regret, because for many, this was their last year of school and cheetlead- ing. To the returning cheerleaders we wish a successful season next year. The Varsity Basketball team, coached by Commander Morris and managed by Dick Hurst, closed a tough season with a heartbreaking loss to Saint Peters of Saratoga at Convention Hall. Winning only two of its 13 games, the team never despaired and played an excellent game at all times. The first team consisted of: Jack Croker, Bill Reuter, Frank Roach, Bob Pallozzi and Don Shiesley. Bill Reuter was high scorer with 130 points; Captain Don Shiesley was second with points and Frank Roach was third with 103 points.

Consistent practice remedied this, however, and the team won its fourth match defeating former conquerors, Cohoes High. The greatest event of the season for the team was its participation in the annual bowling tournament which was held in March. The champion, section two tennis team, coached by Commander Baker, returned this year with Frank Roach, Jay Gorham, Fred Harder, Paul Kopcha and Jay Campbell.
