INTRODUCTION Life — guiding and measuring time — is our existence. We have chosen life” as our theme because we feel that through the use of this topic we can best depict our activities in Watkins Glen Central School. Our success or failures in the future are greatly influenced by what we have done during these years. If in years to come, this book is able to recall to its reader the happy pleasant memories of our years in W. G. C. S., we shall feel that our efforts have been more than duly rewarded.

Updyke, Hoare and Tallis cutting streamers for Senior Ball. School Uqus 1948-493 WoRy Class History Our story begins thirteen years ago with our entrance into Miss Abbott’s kindergarten. Little did we realize what the next twelve years would bring. The first six years sped by and in September, 1949, as seventh graders, we found ourselves passing classes with the “big kids.” We managed to jump the eighth grade, hurdle Regents, and then we were Freshmen. The Seniors quickly knocked us down a peg at initiation. That first year of high school was guided by officers Don Franzese, Jackie Carri-gan, and Margie Viglione, with Mr. Fetterman as adviser. The “Leap Year Twirl”, our initial dance, was a success and started the class dreaming of Washington. At the end of the year we held the “Farewell Frolic” in honor of the graduating Seniors. As Sophomores, the class of 1955 chose Kent Fitch and Gwen Updyke to join Jackie and Margie as class leaders. During the basketball season that year, we teamed up with the cheerleaders and operated a refreshment stand at the home games. We held two dances, the “Holiday Hop” in December, and “April Show- ers.” The dances plus the School Board’s Association Dinner brought a substantial increase in our treasury. Then, at the end of the year we held our class picnic at Enfield Glen. Another step up the ladder and the class of 1955 became Juniors. Immediately officers were elected: Dick Moran, Jackie Carrigan, Linda Card, Gwen Updyke, Jerry Ryan, and Dave Cook. Due to the fact that girls asked the boys, the “Sadie Hawkins Dance” was a huge success. After Christmas and door to door trouping to sell wreaths, the rings came! Setting a new tradition, the class selected a new standard design to be used by the future classes at W. G. C. S. Soon after the “Shamrock Shag”, the advent of spring brought plans for the Junior Prom, “Stardust.” Although it was a financial flop, everyone had lots of fun. As the year drew to a close, a group of Junior girls squirmed down the auditorium aisles bearing the daisy chain. Later, that night, with the help of our parents, the class served the annual Alumni Banquet. That year Ruth Crego and Wilma Morgan were representatives at Girls’ State. Don Fran-zese, Dick Moran, Dave Cook, Gael Wasson, Kent Fitch, and Jerry Ryan went to Boys’ State. The class again held their picnic at Enfield. Finally, the Class of 1955 reached its zenith— our Senior Year! Chosen as officers were Kent Fitch, Jackie Carrigan, Margie Viglione, Gwen Updyke, Mary Lou Paradiso, and Marge Roberts. School had hardly begun before we were out selling Grand Prix programs. Then came Freshman Initiation. We poured it on thickly, but the Frosh were good sports and took it all in the spirit of fun. Our next undertaking, the Election Day Dinner, netted a sizeable sum in spite of the first snowfall of the year. Class members proved to be very persuasive salesmen, for our sale of magazines was an enormous success. The teams, under captains Marge Roberts and Kent Fitch, hit their goal and kept on selling. Final results showed a profit of over 51,000. Christmas came and plans progressed for the Senior Ball. The decoration committee transformed the gym into a beautiful “Winter Wonderland.” In our “spare” time we were making money here and there. The magician show, selling bracelets, and the Talent Show swelled our “On to Washington” fund. March arrived and rehearsals began for the Senior Play, “One Foot In Heaven”, under the direction of William R. Kelly. What a cast! Remember the fun backstage, the costumes, and finally opening night? At last our dream came true—the trip! We boarded the buses at the Jefferson at 5:30 a. m. The “class of angels” toured Gettysburg and went on to Washington and the Hotel Martinique. After three days there, we went to New York City and the Knickerbocker Hotel. What a week! Who’ll ever forget the tours, when we slept, that boat trip, atomic pearls, running up and down Washington Monument, Randyburg-ers, Chinatown, the Virginia kids, and last but not least, “Bull Moose” Fetterman. As our Senior year draws to a close, graduation looms bright in our future. After that important day, we will leave these hallowed halls to go our separate paths, always cherishing the memories and friendships with our teachers, friends, and classmates. With these words we close the final page of the history of the class of 1955. Prophecy of the Class of 1955 While sitting here upon the nose Of the ol’ man in the moon, I look down at earth from whence I’d come And reflect on other’s doom. My class of nineteen fifty-five Dispersed in the middle of June; Now from here like a “beady optic” I can see what they’ve all been doin’. Raymond Swisher’s in Germany Going at a terrible pace; He’s finally fulfilled his great ambition To develop the master race. Ruth Crego’s a roller coaster tester At a huge amusement park; After many years she seems to find It’s not as scary after dark. Tony Stamp’s an eccentric scientist, His mind always was in a whirl, For years and years he’s tried in vain To invent a mechanical girl. Nancy Roberts is way down in Texas Where she married a tycoon named Crandall; Three times now she’s had quintuplets And they’re getting to be more than she can handle. Margaret Hoare was so taken with the Library of Congress She wanted only to become head librarian; But, alas, her talents did lack; And now she’s head of an aquarium. Margie Viglione is president of a spinster’s club And she, herself, is paying dues; It seems all her suitors just upped and died Before she knew which one to choose. Wilma Morgan graduated from Fredonia With honors, degrees and all; Now she has herself a job Playing at Radio City Music Hall. Pierre Biever tried very hard To become a social mixer; Now at last he’s reached his goal, He’s the Radio City organ fixer. Marge Roberts, who spent her time Skating to keep in the pink, Is now part owner of a little place Called the D R Roller Rink. At Presbyterian rallies one always sees Gwen Updyke coming in the door; She’s still trying to get enough courage to say, “Haven’t we met somewhere before?” Giving advice to the lovelorn, However, it seems, in private life, Between many her heart is torn. Dorothy Grimes has invented the shoe strap saw, Her idea has made her a million; She hopes to comfort those who remove their shoes, Then can’t get their feet back in ’em. Vicki Vitali is overseas, A hostess for the USO; She’s always surrounded by servicemen, Her line of chatter makes it so. Barbara Haire, although she is married. Is still private secretary for Mr. Rowles. Joyce Palmer stays home with the kids, While studious Gail goes out and bowls. Peggy Powers is a fashion model, Owns her own little shop, She tries very hard to attract the women, But the men are the ones who stop. Due to the training of her high school days, After learning the laws and rules; Barbara Cope is a driving instructor At the Joe E. Chitwood Schools. Doris Vanderhoef, Jean Lederman, Jean Simmons and Joan Shepardson Return every April to the hotel in Washington; They still get a kick out of opening the window And yelling across to the boys from Virginia. They were involved in a lawsuit not too long ago When they dropped a coke bottle that disappeared far below, Alas! It hit a policeman square on the head, They were charged with hit and run, for they thought he was dead. Bob DeNardo is now under cover Racking his brain so that he might discover An entrance to the Mint, and also a way To get the one hundred thousand dollar bill that’s there on display. Mary Bond, Linda Card Barbara Slobodnyak Are all in Washington driving a hack; That’s right, all in one cab, I’m not foolin’, Guess they don’t want their hub caps stolen. Because his high school years taught him so much During dances and picnics and such, Gael Wasson decided to go on in this field, Now he drives the village ice truck. Bob Webster still flaunts his good looks But passes up the lovin’; He still makes out that he prefers Battleships to women. Jackie Carrigan sits behind a desk, Barbara Caslin spends her time Writing ten-page letters; Lyndon Kendall spends his time Sitting in a foxhole, readin’ ’em. Sandra Bale and Marjory LeShure Are still going to Cornell; They could have graduated long ago, Scholastically they’re doing well. However, the problem doesn’t lie here In school they can hold their own, It’s just that there are so darn many boys, They can’t get one of them alone. Shirley Auble was always known For never making a noise, She’s married now, which only proves Silence attracts the boys. Dick Moran and Jerry Ryan Always did love foolish antics; Now they’ve surpassed Martin and Lewis And are even greater panics. Jo Merrill and Lois Berry Are learning how to knit; Their ambition was to cure the sick But they found they couldn’t stomach it. Josephine Schimizzi has a precarious job, That is if she doesn’t be careful, She writes the gossip for the Watkins Review And as telephone operator gets an earful. David Cook’s a political boss In New York’s Tammany Hall; His personality was completely changed By his first five cent cigar. Benny Laughlin and David Kendall Who prey on wealthy girls; No matter how intelligent they be They just can’t resist their curls. Jane Meyers is now the mother Of a dozen healthy boys Who captain Admiral Symes’ fleet And answer to his A-Hoys. Robert Densmore is in heavy training Preparing for when he is sent To break to nationwide record For scaling the Washington Monument. In the dressing room at the half Coach Don Franzese stands doggedly; The team is tired and far behind But he sings them on to victory. They said when Gene Smalley drove up in his car That he couldn’t be in the race, For the Watkins Glen Grand Prix is a dangerous thing And he was entirely too safe; So he built himself a hot dog stand And placed it near the course, Janet Fish is in on this, too, She’s the cook, of course. A private secretary, that’s what I’ll be, This is what Janice Crane once said; She dreamed of sitting on the boss’s lap But he’s sitting on her’s instead. Albert Walling is now a farmer And along with Bobby Hillerman Is trying to develop a brand new breed Of a pitless, rindless watermelon. Anne Hall who is a very fine cook And also likes to ride, Combined her talents and became A horse dietitian on the side. Joan Wenban owns a fleet of buses, She hopes that she will find That others think the driver’s attractive As she did at one time. John Mason is a door-to-door salesman Who has a gift for talking, But when he offers a demonstration He’s told to keep on walking. Kent Fitch who was always noted For taking life too seriously, Has surprised us all—And is having a ball, He’s a clown on the circus TV. Glenn Davis bought a tiny ukelele And started to say things real funny, Now he’s star of the Comedy Hour And for some reason he’s making money. Helen Ayers was always told To stop talking or she’d start a riot, Now she’s the head of a library herself And is telling others to be quiet. Since Linda Crance was very fond Of most any kind of sport, She’s made a hit with every guy Who’s come from any port. Jack Brubaker found army life Quite acceptable, I’ll wager, He never got beyong Private first class But back home, he’ll always be Major. Mary Lou Paradiso always had trouble Getting the car from her mother, But she has it now whenever she wants For she bought her mother another. Oh you ask, how does it happen That I should be way up here, Well, like a true adventurer and a dumb fool I signed away my life, which is dear; I wanted to see what the moon was like And they said the space ship was sound, But they were all so concerned with getting me here That they forgot to tell me how to get down.

Roberts, Merrill, LeShure The Play’s the Thing The Senior Play was one of the more momentous events of the Senior year, a valua-able experience for all who participated. This year’s play, “One Foot In Heaven”, by Hart-zell Spence, was very successful. The re- William R. Kelly Director sponse from both the students and adults was overwhelming, and the contribution to the class fund was more than encouraging. The three weeks before opening night were hectic ones. Rehearsals every night provided plenty of laughs. William Kelly’s impersonations, Ray Swisher’s sudden musical talent, Benny’s dancing lessons, all contributed to provide hilarious moments. With the appearance of the quaint and dated costumes, which sent the cast into peals of laughter, dress rehearsal went rather slowly. The thrill of opening night will forever remain in the memories of the cast, the make-up girls, the prop men, curtain and light operators — everyone who had a hand in the production. The good wishes of the Class of 1955 are extended to next year’s “little theater group.” Due credit must be given to William R. Kelly through whose capable direction the play moved to its successful end. CAST OF CHARACTERS Reverend William H.

The Class of 1956 has come within one year of its goal. For the Juniors, this year has been the most successful and eventful so far. In an attempt to start the year off properly and increase the treasury, several successful bake sales and scrap drives were held, and a float was entered in the Centennial Parade for advertising purposes. However, the first major event was the “Sadie Hawkins Dance”, which was exceptionally successful. As the Christmas season approached the Juniors undertook the laborious project of making their own wreaths. Almost all the houses in town and in the surrounding areas were decked out in Junior wreaths. As a result of this venture, the annual wreath project was one of the most successful in many years. Setting a precedent for future classes, the class initiated a project in which the Juniors sell subscriptions for the “Watkins Review” with the Seniors working for the “Watkins Express.” This year Rena Fraboni and Jack Wright were the best salesmen and received $25 bonds for their efforts. Next the Juniors were asked to serve a luncheon for the New York State “Federation of Women’s Clubs.” Always ready and willing to help, they took in the project and netted a good profit. They hope their future projects, the “Alumni Banquet” and the “Junior Prom” will be as successful as the other projects undertaken. The busy Juniors were also found in all the school activities this year. These included the National Honor Society, Student Council, Library Club, F. H. A., F. F. A., intramurals, Lettermen Club, and all the varsity sports. As the Senior year looms into the future, the Junior class wishes to thank its officers for their guidance. They were: president, Gail Harkness; vice president, Vincent Kuhn; secretary, Mary Paradiso; treasurer, Margaret „ Cole; business manager, Jerry Hazlitt; and a special thanks to Mr. John Rowles, their adviser.

Class officers were elected in the previous spring and the results were as follows: president, Larry Scott; vice president, Nick Paradiso; secretary, Mary Lurcock; treasurer, Joe Fazzary. At this time Mr. James Dragotta was elected to be their new class adviser. The first big activity was the “Football Frolic”, held in honor of the football team. During intermission there was a special entertainment program. Liz Haughey and Don Ely reigned as the king and queen and were presented a small football. Four members were chosen to represent the Sophomore class in Student Council this year. They were Larry Scott, Joe Fazzary, Jean Watkins, and Mary Lurcock. Among the various activities to increase the treasury was the selling of refreshments at the basketball games which was handed down to them by the Juniors. Many basketball pins were also sold during this season. Many Sophomores have shown musical ability in Junior and Senior Bands, Orchestra, Pep Band, and Glee Club. The next big activity was a second dance, which turned out to be a sock dance. The dance was named the “Soc Hop” and proved to be a success. Prizes were given for the kids who had the biggest feet, John Foote; longest socks, Linda Schouten; and the loudest pair of socks, Rhea Angelo. Lyn Compese and John Potter were crowned king and queen and presented big red suckers in socks. The Sophomore class has shown much talent in the sports section. Members of the class have participated in football, basketball, baseball, cheerleading, and intramurals. Other members have shown their spirit by coming to the games and cheering our boys on to victory. The Sophomores express their sincere thanks to all the teachers who helped them reach the half-way mark of their high school education. A special thanks to Mr. Dragotta, the class adviser, and Miss Viglione, Mr. Linton, and Mr. Ross, who helped Mr. Dragotta.

On September 27 they learned that there were Seniors. That was Initiation Day! The first step was election of officers and an adviser. Elected were president, John Ryan; vice president, Jerry Smyder; secretary, Suzanne White; treasurer, Jeanette Gleason; and adviser, Mr. Anderson. The first money making project was the “Twirp Twirl.” It was a big success with Eric Lockington and Judy Haughey reigning as king and queen. This year the Freshmen tried something new. They sponsored a basketball game between the faculty and the Seniors. Naturally, the faculty won! The Freshmen were well represented in school organizations this year, such as band, chorus, and intramurals. Their reporter for the Student Standard was Barbara Buck, while Student Council representatives were Alice Garey, John Ryan, Suzanne White, and Nicholas Bond. All the Freshmen wish to express their thanks to Mr. Anderson for the help and guidance he has given them during the past year. Seated: White, Gleason.

In November, three of the officers attended the annual Student Council Conference at Honeoye Central School. Such things as student-run assemblies, money raising projects, and ways of improving school spirit were discussed. The Council’s big project for the year was setting up a service award system. The purpose of this is to reward students for outstanding service to the school and to stimulate more active participation in service projects. A bake sale was held, and the Council had plans to hold an ice cream social. The proceeds from these activities will be used to pay for the pins and certificates for the new awards, and for the trophy case which the Council plans to erect in the auditorium.

On November 22, 1954, new members of the National Honor Society were tapped. There were many surprised and pleased smiles that day. In order to raise money for pins for the new members, the Honor Society sold refreshments at football games. A considerable profit was netted. Next on the agenda was the clothing drive in the school to aid the firemen in their drive. Toys and clothes for the needy were collected in the homerooms. To be of real service to the school, the National Honor Society took over the hall monitoring system. A number of the society went to the Spring Conference of the National Honor Society at Hornell, and came back with a great many suggestions for improving the Glen Chapter of the National Honor Society. Paradiso, McAnarney, Tallis, Fraboni. Miss Viglione, Crego. Morgan, Wilki Student Standard This year the Student Standard staff endeavored to improve the paper by incorporating more of the basic principles of journalism, while still remaining a student paper. An effort was made to have class news reported as separate news stories, instead of columns for each class. Use was made of bigger headlines, and a few banner headlines were used on the front page. Also, a separate spot was set aside for junior high news alone. Some of these innovations were brought about as a result of the Journalism Conference held in November at Syracuse. Delegates from the S. S. were Miss Viglione, Editor Ruth Crego, and Associate Editor Rena Fraboni. New ideas were gained from the conferences and lectures attended. The Student Standard, under the able hand of its faculty adviser, Miss Viglione, looks forward to the future with hope that it may continue in its tradition of serving the students of W. G. C. S. according to journalistic principles.

The first business on the agenda was to choose officers. They were president, Marjory LeShure; vice president, Wilma Morgan; secretary-treasurer, Gwen Updyke; reporter, Joyce Palmer; and program chairmen, Sandra Bale and Jo Schimizzi. The project for the year was reading the shelves, that is, seeing that all the books were in order and the shelves were neat. Once a month the members planned a bulletin board. They also worked on the picture file. Senior librarians took care of the desk throughout the year for Mrs. Stillman. However it wasn’t all work. The Senior Club held a Halloween Party and initiated the Junior Club. The highlight of the year was the teachers’ tea in May. Refreshments were served, and a skit, which met with success, was acted out. Miss Denson climaxed the party with films that she took on the Washington trip. Again it was through the endeavors of Mrs. Stillman that the Library Club was able to provide efficient service to the student body. Junior Library Club At the first meeting of the Junior Library Club, Mrs. Stillman directed the election of the officers. Joyce Chedzoy was elected president; Nancy Vaughn, secretary-treasurer; and Kitty Robinson, general program chairman. The first event of the year was the initiation conducted by the Senior Library Club. Everyone had a grand time at the combination initiation-Halloween party. The favor was returned by treating the Senior Library Club to a Valentine party. Among the more helpful activities, in which the members of the Junior Library Club participated, were the fixing of picture files, designing the bulletin board — thanks especially to Penny Jackson — and the general cleaning and caring of books.

Suits, Strong, Kapral Lettermen Club At the initial meeting of the Varsity Letter Club, the following officers were elected for the year: President, Raymond Swisher; Vice President, David Cook; Secretary, Frank Suits; Treasurer, Ron Phelps; Business Managers, Tom Harrison and Jack Haughey. Mr. Lemak was chosen for adviser. The first project was selling programs at the basketball games. Next came the biggest project that the club had ever undertaken, staging the first annual Varsity Club Dance. Although the crowd was rather small, the success of the first dance was gratifying. It was decided to use the money gained to buy sweaters for all the active Juniors and Seniors in the club. In future years, all Juniors who earn varsity letters will get sweaters at the same time. Due thanks belong to the officers and to the adviser, Mr. Lemak, for guiding the club successfully through the year. Projection Club A great help in modern schools is visual education. Since 1949, the Projection Club has done a great deal in assisting the faculty with this phase of instruction. Another important function is showing movies during the noon hour to entertain the students. In addition, the club has the work of ordering and shipping the films. Last September the Projection Club started off with only two of last year’s members, so new members were rapidly recruited. The boys in the Projection Club must maintain passing marks in their studies and have a record of good conduct. They are then trained in the use and maintenance of projectors, films and screens. This year, in need of a more definite organization, officers were elected: Anthony Stamp as President, John Potter as Vice President, and Barbara Haire as Secretary. The facilities of the Projection Club consist of a central office for handling the films, a visual aid room for showing class movies, a projection booth for noon movies, three portable projectors, an arc projector, and two slide projectors. It is expected that the Projection Club will soon become an outstanding activity offering even more opportunities to its members and to the school.

A. met this year and elected the following officers: president, Joyce Booth; vice president, Roberta Terwilliger; secretary, June Howell; and treasurer, Jane Meyers. To earn money this year the F. H. A. girls have been making rolls, and put on a dinner for guests of Mr. Cook. They had many parties and among them was an initiation party and a Valentine party. The F. H. A. girls wish to express their gratitude to Miss Turner, their adviser, for her help. They were very sorry she had to leave in January due to sickness in her family. F. F. A. The Watkins Glen F. F. A. Chapter is a member of the State and National Future Farmers of America. It is composed of vocational agricultural high school students. The school chapter sent no members to the National Convention, but did participate in such state and regional activities as: State Fair in September, Cornell Farm and Home Week, Fall Rally at Cornell, Spring Rally at Odessa, and Detroit chapter meetings. Members also attended the Cornell-Colgate football game. Five members: John Mason, Bruce Morris, Burge Morris, Norman Shaffer, and Edwin Webster, accompanied by their adviser, Mr. Donald D. Harkness, attended the New York State F. F. A. Camp Oswegatchie in the Adirondacks, as similar groups have every year since the camp was established. Some of the local activities of the chapter included regular monthly meetings, a fall corn and hot dog roast, basketball games, and the spring picnic. The present officers are: president, Bruce Morris; vice president, James Berry; secretary, Glenn Davis; treasurer, Gael Wasson; reporter, Francis Arcangeli; sentinel, Tom Meehan; and adviser, Mr. Donald D.

Seven members of our band participated in an All-State Sectional Band concert held in November at Penn Yan. In February, the Annual Massed Band concert was held, with musicians selected from Dundee, Penn Yan, and Watkins Glen. The climax of this year’s concert was Tschaikowsky’s “1812 Overture” conducted by Mr. Bailey, and complete with cannon and church bells. The annual Spring Concert was held on May 11. Thanks, this year as always, go to Mr. Bailey for the patience and the many extra hours he puts toward making musicians out of instrument players, and creating a band from a collection of musicians. Junior Band This forty-one piece band under the direction of Mr. Bailey consisted of fifteen cornets, three trombones, one baritone, three saxophones, fourteen clarinets, one flute, one bass horn, tympani and bells, one bass drum, and one snare drum. Most of these students have had some experience in the field of music. Having enjoyed playing in Junior Band, several are looking forward to promotion to the Senior Band next year. 1st row: Mathews, Adams, Kelly, Ely, Wilbur, Haramis, Dunbar, Mathews, Cilley, Miller, Hollenbeck 2nd row: Bell, Personius, Paradiso, LaMoreaux, Teemley, Welch, Vickio, Parks, Yanch, Nittoly, Bartone, Bartholomew 3rd row: McNeil, Bond, Hoare, Riley, Voorhees, Bardeen, Spaulding, Merrill, Murphy, Salvatore, Arnold, Cilley 1st row: Foote, Palmer, Gillette, Herr, McAnarney, Smyder, Roberts 2nd row: Soper, Duane, Cole, Potter, Babcock, Fraboni, Morgan, Cummings, Fitch, Shannon, Wager 3rd row: Lurcock, Bale, Kent, Shannon, Williams, Millen, Freeman, Palmer, Tallis, Fraboni Pep Band With the advent of the basketball season, the Pep Band, under the direction of Joan Tallis and Margaret Cole, began to practice. Rehearsing once a week, the Pep Band played a very important part in the home basketball games. They assisted the cheerleaders with the musical cheers and added to the exciting atmosphere during the halves. The Pep Band has provided a great deal of school spirit at the games, and played a major part in cheering the fellows on to victory. It is hoped that it will continue to do so for many years. Drum Majorettes The Drum Majorettes are a new addition at W. G. C. S. They were organized in 1954. Under the supervision of Donna Soper, Rhea Angelo, Sandy Shoemaker, Peggy Tichenor, and Carol Nittoly, they studied basic and advanced twirling, new routines, and dancing steps which were coordinated with specific twirling routines. These girls were chosen from a group of forty who had never had preliminary training in twirling fundamentals. With the hope that the twirling squad will continue at W. G. C. S. for many years, these girls must be congratulated for their industry in a pioneering venture.

The Glee Club, nevertheless, met five days a week. On October 20th the fall program was presented for a school assembly. Some of the girls represented the Glee Club at the All-State Sectional Chorus held in November at Penn Yan. This year for the first time, the Christmas program was presented in the evening. The biggest events of the school year for the Glee Club were the operetta, “Girls Will Be Girls”, presented on February 17th, and the NYSSMA festival at Ithaca on May 7th. A triple trio sang at the Baccalaureate Service and the entire Glee Club rendered “The Halls of Ivy” and “Count Your Blessings” at Graduation. Those who are leaving wish to express their appreciation to Miss Denson for her patience and hours of hard work. rrr 1st row: Mathews, Johnson, Scaptura, Smith, LaPre.

Since September they have sung in two musical assemblies. One was a patriotic play entitled “We Pledge Allegiance” presented by the Junior High students. The girls also sold refreshments at the operetta. Every Monday and Friday noon hour the Choraliers prepared for the spring festival, and on May 7th twenty-five excited Choraliers presented their selection of songs in the NYSSMA festival, striving for a good rating. It is hoped the Choraliers will continue the good work they have already accomplished under the excellent direction of Miss Denson. Dance Band The arrival of the basketball season brought about the organization of the Watkins Glen Central Dance Band. Under the direction of Mr. Bailey, this organization rehearsed during the noon hour, and played for the Friday night dances after the home basketball games. This year the Dance Band was composed of Chuck Fitch, drums; Brian Kent, trombone; Donna Soper, tenor saxo- phone; Margaret Cole and Grace Ann Wager, also saxophones; and Wilma Morgan, piano. The students of Watkins Glen Central may rightfully be proud of their Dance Band, because they have made an excellent showing this year.

Considering only the won-and-lost column, the season could be termed as unsuccessful. The Senecas were unable to capture a single victory this season, although, to everyone’s surprise, they almost did upset the all-powerful Elmira Heights team. However, the ex- perience gained by the underclassmen should prove profitable in the long run. Special recognition must be shown to the Seniors who helped out the younger players. The team will really miss Ray Swisher, Dave Kendall, and Captain Tom Meehan. Coach Lemak was ably assisted this year in his coaching duties by Mr. Dragotta. Wrestling For the first time in the school’s history, wrestling was introduced into the interscholastic athletic program. The groundwork for this program was prepared last year by means of an intramural wrestling program. In this first year of interscholastic competition, nine meets were arranged. The overall record of four wins and five losses is not overly impressive, but as a new activity, it cannot be considered disappointing. The highlight of the wrestling program was the meet with Hammondsport. This was put on as an assembly program, primarily to familiarize the student body with the newly introduced sport. It was mainly through the efforts of Mr. Warner that wrestling has become another popular sport in the athletic program.

Although the Senecas did not emerge victorious this season — winning eight of their scheduled games — the season was a comforting one. Coach Lemak was not able to field a tall team, but this was made up for in speed and aggressiveness. Despite the fact that the Varsity will lose Harrison, Franzese, and Cook for next season, it is very likely that Watkins will become a power as of old. Congratulations are in order for Tom Harrison who won the league scoring crown, and who was named to the Southern Counties All-Star team. Don Franzese also received an honorable mention for the All-Star team.

V. Basketball The Junior Varsity under the watchful eye of Coach Dragotta completed a highly successful season. Although starting slowly, they finished red hot! This team of Freshmen and Sophomores hit its peak when it hit 100 points against ever-powerful Waverly. These hard-fighting boys will be a real asset to the Varsity squad in the next two years.

With Marge Roberts at the head, they cheered the boys to victory. The Varsity squad consisted of two veterans: Jackie Carrigan, captain; and Margie Viglione, co-captain; with three newcomers, Nancy Mead, Elizabeth Haughey, and Eloise Compese. These cheerleaders did their best in encouraging school spirit at both the football and basketball games. Good luck to Jackie Carrigan, Margie Viglione, Marge Roberts, and Barbara Caslin, who are graduating this year. 1st row: Kendall, Morris, Densmore, Arcangeli, Capt.; Lutomski, Caslin, Tinker, Wasson 2nd row: Bannister, Johnson, Mason, Davis, Berry F.

These young fellows have shown great ambition and eagerness in developing themselves as athletes. This year they played many of the neighboring Junior High teams and had a full schedule. This team deserves much credit. Next year many of them will probably appear on the Jayvee squad. CHEERLEADING The school is indebted to Mr. Mclnnis for his interest in the Junior High program, by which the athletic department will greatly benefit. SCHEDULE This year there was a completely new Junior High cheering squad consisting of Diane Kent, Pat Tallis, Nancy Bartholomew, Carol Paradiso, and Joan Scaptura. Nancy was chosen captain, and the whole squad worked diligently to become a success.

Baseball The Southern Counties schools organized for the first time to form a baseball league. This league was formed to create a greater interest in the game and to provide a steady schedule. The Southern Counties Baseball League consists of the same schools which belong to the basketball league. The Senecas took on a more difficult schedule than usual, due to the formation of the league. Coach Lemak hopes to go far with this veteran-laiden team. There is a well-balanced club to back up the pitching of Marciniak and Caslin. The infield consisted of Harrison, Fran-zese, Strong, and Pangallo, with Decker catching. Webster, Laughlin, and Caslin occupied the positions in the outfield. As the Senecan goes to press, there are hopes for a fairly successful season.

Many of the boys not participating in Varsity sports formed leagues in touch football, basketball, volleyball, and softball. immense entertainment for students during the noon-hour. Mr. Blake has surely sparked the participants with spirit and determination, which they will never forget. Besides the enjoyment gained from participation, the boys become more skilled at these various sports. Many should make the school teams next year. These games also provide INTRAMURAL WINNERS Football Depew Basketball Depew Volleyball Landry Girls'ilntramurals The girls’ intramural season began with the noon hour games of soccer. Permanent teams were not formed, so each game was an individual contest. The ten weeks of bowling in the fall produced many accomplished bowlers. In the junior high league, Pat Tallis led with an average of 91, followed by Dianne Kent with 85, and Midge Gifford with 81. In the senior high league, Grace Ann Wager’s 111 average was followed by Gwen Updyke with 102, and Carol Magee with 101. The basketball season began in December. Class teams were formed in the senior high division. The Juniors, under the co-captains, Mary Lee Powers and Margaret Cole, were victorious, while the Sure Shots, Ellen Babcock’s team, won in the junior high division. A few noons of apparatus work followed, but the largest turnout appeared when the volleyball season arrived. When the yearbook went to press, the teams headed by Joan Tallis and Ruth Crego were tied in league A; and those captained by Sandra Bale and Eleanor Duane were tied in league B. In the junior high division, Midge Gifford’s team was leading with three wins. Ping-pong, badminton, shuffleboard, and baseball again concluded the intramural season. 1st row: Meyers, Duane, Wager, Herr, Cole, Chapman 2nd row: LeShure, Bale, Hoare, Updyke, Fraboni, Roberts, Morgan 3rd row: Simmons, Lederman, Powers, Tallis, Viglione 1st row: Westcott, Hoc gland.
