Text from Pages 1 - 96 of the 1961 volume:

THE CLASS OF 1961 OF WATKINS GLEN CENTRAL SCHOOL PRESENTS SENECAN Da 61 e Contents Administration Seniors Classes Music Activities Athletics Joveword This yearbook is composed of a melody of memories—a symphony of ideas —arranged by the class of ’61. The sweet tempo of our four years at Watkins Glen Central School, quickened by the natural beauty of our town, the famous Glen, the blue mysterious lake, the white shuttered houses, is the theme that provides the background music of the 196 1 ‘SeQecan. It’s a haunting-refrain that we’re sure to hum on occasion as long as we live. Appreciation Mr. Arthur L. Curry This is really a thank-you note.... an expression of appreciation.... to a wise, patient individual who has guided with courage eighty-eight unwise, impatient individuals into a single unit, the Class of ’61. This is to tell you, in print, Mr. Curry, what you must already know....we are devoted to you. 4 Dedication Mrs. Armida S. La Moreaux To Mrs. LaMoreaux—friend of every boy and girl at Watkins Glen Central School, whose understanding guidance and sympathetic interest in each student has brought out his best—whose own enthusiasm and encouragement have awakened joy in creative expression and literary knowledge—we of 1961 dedicate with affection, our Yearbook.

Class History - Class of 1961 “Good evening, this is Walter Crankcase of CBC News reporting from Washington. A plague descended on Washington today with the arrival of a screaming, wild, uninhibited group of Seniors from Watkins Glen, N. Y. To trace the history of this remarkable group CBC News takes you back to September, 1948. All things are as they were then except YOU ARE THERE . . ” “This is Henry Calmer of CBC News. The imposing brick structure you see behind me is the Watkins Glen combined elementary and high school opened in 1929. The group which just entered that door is the mob which you now have in Washington. They are entering kindergarten for the first time. Our cameras are trained on the windows for new developments but the group seems to be contenting itself with sandboxes and alligator games. Things seem quiet here so take it away, Tom Logic . . .” “This is Tom Logic of CBC News in 1957. After trying years of addition, spelling, fractions, and geography the class of 1961 has just chosen some leaders. Ted Specchio, the boy on the left has been chosen president, Kathy O'Grady, Vice-President; Diane Cranston, Secretary; Lisette Peck, Treasurer; and Dan Stone, Business Manager. But here on my right is the man all America's heart must go out to. Arthur Curry, math teacher, has been chosen to ride herd on this group for the next four years. We'd like to get a word with this brave warrior but already he's too busy. That about ties things up here so take it away, Iva Paine. “This is Iva Paine of CBC News in 1958. After a hectic year highlighted by the Senior-Faculty game and a gigantic record hop featuring disc jockey Bob Michaels, already the class is talking about class elections again. As soon as the results are in we'll pass then on . . . Wait, I've just been handed a sheet with the returns. Ted returns as President, John Updyke is Vice-President, Louise Argetsinger is secretary, Edie Brubaker is Treas- urer, and Dan returns as business manager. There are great plans for the coming year, so take it away, Henry Clamer. “This is Henry Calmer again, this time in 1959. The list of activities grows and grows. Last year the class added the proceeds from a bake sale, the football and basketball refreshment stands, basketball pins, a car wash and a dance featuring “disc jockies Butch Hollenbeck and Dan Stone. Class elections have just been completed and JoPat Paradiso is President-elect of the class. John, Louise, Edie, and Dan are all returning to their same posts. I’ve just been handed a report that something special is happening in the spring of 1960. Tom Logic is on the spot, so take it away, Tom. “This is Tom Logic again. It may look to you as though I were standing on a waterfront but I am still in the school building. The scene behind me is merely a part of the beautiful decorations which highlight this years Junior Prom, “Harbor Lights. Already this year the class has held snake dances, a Sadie Hawkins Dance, sold Christmas wreaths, held “Cupid's Capers”, “Shamrock Haven , and sold stationery. Still to come is the Alumni Banquet. That’s all for now, take it away, Iva. “This is Iva Paine in December 1960. We're at the highlight of the social season “Wonderland by Night,” the Senior Ball. Around us we can see President JoPat Paradiso, Vice-President John Updyke, Secretary Diane Granston, Treasurer Edie Brubaker and Business Manager Dan Stone. This group has guided the class through the Glen Classic, Grand Prix, and F.I.A. program sales. And also the magazine campaign. Still ahead is the Senior play and the talent show and Washington. That winds things up here. Take it away at CBC headquarters, Walter Crankcase. This is Walter Crankcase. Now you realize what motivates this strange, screaming herd roaming the streets of Washington. What kind of days were they? Days like all days, filled with those events which alter and illuminate our times. Good luck, Washington and good night! 29 Class Propdecy Class of 1961 After 13 years of intensive schooling: a high school senior should be prepared for anything. Yet I was little prepared for a visit from the ghost of graduations future. This robust, crosseyed character in full cap and gown appeared to me on graduation eve. He grasped my hand and we floated into space. The years floated away below us until suddenly we were in 1980. Where am I ? It’s a dark room. It looks like—why, it is Greenwich Village! There’s an actress reciting in the center of the room. Why, it’s Louise Argetsinger and the boy with the bongos is David Banner and the girl on the flute is Val Wisner. The bearded one writing poetry in the corner is James Schimizzi. The man in the other corner is Dan Stone five-time beatnik candidate for president. The room disappeared and we were in darkest Africa. Coming toward us were the world’s greatest big game hunters, John Updyke and Ted Specchio and with them are those two famous African missionaries, Gary and Phil Kelly. Africa fades and we were in Chicago in front of the newest in the fabulous Paradiso chain of restaurants. JoPat is the boss with Dick Skinner as host. Clayton Richards was there doing publicity for the club’s singing sensation, Margie Franzese. Just going in are two French celebrities—Pat Berlin of the Berlin Fashion Salon and the noted Parisian artist, Dan Salvatore. The scene shifts and we’re in a brightly lighted softball stadium. The Morey all-girl All-Stars are playing. There’s Ruth, their pitching star, Donna Nandelstadt, the catcher, Joan Oliver the first baseman and Carol Giambo who plays the whole outfield. Now we are standing in the city room of one of the nation’s leading newspapers. Those three people in the corner look familiar. Why, they’re Pidge Smagner, Ann Israel, and Judy Johnson editors of the most-widely read lovelorn column in the country. They’re reading a newswire article about the new Wac’s admission officers, Evelyn Landsberg and Settie Peck. The city room fades and we’re standing on the deck of a naval carrier. Admirals Landry and Owens are discussing strategy with those ace flyers Bob Lodge and Charlie Tunnicliff. Speaking of boats, Ed Pike and Ed Dugue are professional gamblers on a Mississippi steamer. Suddenly we are in a brightly lighted television studio where writer Sandy Kennedy is going over a script with comedian Joe Marcin and director Bill Fassett. And here comes the cue card boy Charlie Morrow. We’re in a church and the Rev. Leonard Van Scoy has just completed a sermon. Now choir master Leon Van Alstine is directing a hymn. The scene shifts we’re in the new Yankee Stadium designed for the Yankees by Dick Chiacchierini. Wilbur Angle is stealing home. He’s called out but here comes manager Pete Bahns to argue with urn-pire-in-chef, Charlie Densmore. Back in Watkins, Sandy Pastore is calling the PTA—Patsy Stooks, Peg Rudy, Diane Mathews, Rose Schimizzi and Karen Robbins to order. The group is soon planning to declare La Face’s the official school cafeteria. Suddenly we’re at Indianapolis. The winning “500” car has just crossed the line and winning driver Butch Hollenbeck and his mechanic John Quatrano are being congratulated by race queen Bonnie WTag-ner. The ghost kept moving and we were on the midway of a traveling carnival owned by Sandy Cogs-dill, Lanah Pulleyn and Lana Rudy. Quickly we moved to a quiet observatory where astronomer Steve Hinman is anxiously looking at the heavens for Joe Bodmann who blasted off in a home-made rocket and has not been heard from since. At Cape Canaveral Charlie Jones, Chuck Sherman and Jim Liddle are also trying to locate Joe. Now we are in La Faces which is now being run by Ann Marie. Back in the corner we found that famous science fiction writer Dan Wilson and Don 30 Duane who invented a new cigarette and retired with millions. They are discussing a new pidgeon farm owned by John Mathews and Charlie Stamp. It’s a co-operative farm and John raises them and Charlie flies them. Now we’re on the French Riveria where we find Tom Gage who cornered the world cheesecloth market, being chauffeured by Charlie Bush. Also on the Riviera we have a vacationing group of champ- ions. World-mambo champion Diane Granston and her manager Peg Eggersdorf have just arrived and were met at the airport by world euchre champions Bob Shook, Ron Sabatini and their coach Le Roy Swartz. Watkins still doesn’t have a good dial telephone system but Bonnie Kerns, Linda Carrigan and Sue Gunning have taken over the operations chores. The ghost tells me that their chief customer is Liz Wilber and Settie as king and Queen (Senior Ball, 1960) Morrill, chief salesclerk for Kathy O’Grady’s General Store which specializes in Prom and Ball decorations. The ghost took me to New York where manager Linda Drake is announcing the world-talkathon champion Linda Graham has just broken another world talking record. Again we move to the state of Washington which Janet Kopp bought to grow Christmas trees. Her chief rangers Eldon Gilbert and Flip Hillerman report business is fine. The ghost said he couldn’t find Jo Adele Seeley or Edie Brubaker. They took off driving one day and haven’t been heard of since. Suddenly I found myself in my own bed. Had the ghost left—or was it all a dream? 31 Class Will - Class of WILBUR ANGLE leaves his love for i orts to Steve Davis. LOUISE ARGETSINGER leaves her silver dollar to Glen Trophy Caae.

Senior Play This year, or the first time in years, the annual Senior Play was presented in the Spring, on April 7. Entitled The Many Loves of I)obie Lillis, it concerned a dynamic young man who, through his wild imagination, succeeded in saving his school paper from certain disaster. However, that was not his primary concern as the title implies—it was girls, and he would resort to almost anything to get one. All in all, it was a rollicking comedy and a success. Playing in the lead as Dobie was Steve Hinman; opposite him was Sandy Kennedy. Other major roles were played by Dan Wilson and Ruth Morey. Mr. Frank Steber directed this play. Mrs. Naomi Roberts was in charge of make-up. Classes ‘Junior Cuss President..........................Steve Williams Vice-Pres................... Bill Pierce Secretary ...............

In the opener at home against Trumansburg our line outplayed a heavier T-Burg squad for a 12-0 decision. Although we won only 2 of 7, there was consolation in beating rival Odessa for the first time ever. This game was an interesting experience for the team since it was played at night under the lights. The outstanding Seniors on the team were George Landry, Richard Chiacchierini, Ted Specchio, Joe Marcin, John Up-dyke, and “Flip” Hillerman. Dick Decker suffered a leg injury early in the season. Mr. Milford Warner, and Mr. Peter Golatis coached the 1960 Senecans and Ted Specchio and “Flip” Hillerman were Co- Captains. Charlie “My-Boy” Stamp and Mike Specchio were student managers. The outlook for next season is optimistic as this year’s team was composed largely of Juniors and Sophomores. Eight of eleven starters will be returning.

With few graduating from the squad and a larger turnout and longer schedule than ever before, the 1961 Senecas are looking forward to another big year in track. As the 1961 SENECAN goes to press, no scores are available for the 1961 season. The following is the schedule for you to fill in, however. The 1960 season finally saw track become a major spring sport. Wfith a squad of approximately thirty-five boys, the team boasted a 4-1 dual meet record with wins over Elmira Heights, Waverly, Lakemont, and Trumansburg. The single loss was at the hands of Odessa. 85 April 26 Edison April 28 Trumansburg May 4 Lakemont May 8 Penn Yan May 11 Waverly May 16 Dundee May 19 Elmira Relays May 23 Southern Counties . .. , May 26 Section IV Meet May 31 Pentagonal Meet As usual, the girls’ Intramural program, which consisted of Scooter Soccer, Basketball, and Volleyball, was a success and witnessed the participation of many eager girls. The Seniors took ready command of the final playoff games as they took first place in the Scooter Soccer game and won the much coveted Basketball trophy which was given again after a lapse of two years. Playdays also dominated the girls sports scene this year although some say not so successfully. Fairing well in the first playday against T - „ vV' Burg, the girls brought victory home with them. Next, another Basketball team, visited Dundee where they finished in second place tied with Odessa, while Dundee took first place, with a victory over both visiting teams. The successful Intramural program and the chances to go to playdays would not have been possible, of course, without the help and tireless efforts of faculty advisor, Miss Jan Haus-enbauer, who has taught, among other things, that to win is not as important as having a good time and making new acquaintances. 1st Row: Mr. Mclnnis, S.
