We have been very happy to have her here. Her progress, since September, has been remarkable. At first, Martha was shy and retiring. As the year advanced, we saw her transformed into a lively, interested teen-ager _______ almost of the North American variety. I ictured w ith Martha are Germaine Clark and Bill Roberts. Germaine is Martha's American sister and was host to her during her stay in Watkins Glen. Bill Roberts is President of the Student Council, an organization which helped sponsor Martha's visit. The people of Watkins Glen — particularly the young people — feel a sense of satisfaction in having had Martha here. Our awareness of “Person to Person Diplomacy” and “The Good Neighbor Policy” we feel is evident in this endeavor. SENIOR CLASS OFFICERS-1962 w fd: G-Pa,m«- £“•: W- Pierce- Vice Pres. Standing: S.

CLASS HISTORY Awed by the wonder of finally reaching high school, anxious to absorb the knowledge which high school was to bring us, we achieved senior-status in September, 1961. The activities of our first year were capably led by our president, Steve Davis and his fellow officers Pat Emmons, vice president. Peg Havens, secretary, Martha Johnson, treasurer, and Dan Dolk, business manager. Freshman initiation, “Polk-Dot Scramble,” the Senior-Faculty game, a refreshment stand at the baseball games, and “Farewell Frolic,’ comprised the activities of our Freshman Year. Under the advisorship of Mr. Francis Schaefer, we elected Steve Davis our Sophomore class president, Rill Pierce, vice president. Gail Palmei, secretary, Martha Johnson, treasurer, and Dan Dolk, business managei. Money-making projects included the sale of booster pins and fruit cakes, a pancake supper, car washes, “Shang-Ri-La. operating the refreshment stand during home basketball games, and “Shamrock Showers. Returning in September. 1960 as Juniors, the class elected Steve W illiams, president and Bill Gail, Martha and Dan were re-elected to their former offices. The annual “Sadie Hawkins Dance was the usual success. Class rings arrived. Christmas wreath orders were taken. Stationary sales added to our treasury, and the Junior Prom, “Moonlight and Roses, with Ait Peck and Joan Smith reigning as king and queen made history. The daisy chain and Alumni banquet were customary activities of the Juniors. The classes representatives to Boys’ State were Steve Davis. Don Dolk. Mike Fraboni, Mike Haramis, Floyd Herrick, Bill Roberts, John Smith and Steve Williams. Girls’ State representative was Gail Palmer. Returning in the fall of 1961 as seniors, Steve. Bill. Gail, Martha, and Dan were elected to the offices they held in their junior year. We began our final step toward our all-important goal (Washington. D. C.) with Floyd Herrick as the chairman of the race program sale. Freshman initiation senior portraits, magazine sales drive (with Pete W entz as chairman') highlighted the vear. Bill Davis and Barb Williams reigned over “L’heure de 1’amour” our Senior Ball. On April 23. we departed for W ash-ington D. C„ anticipating a fun-filled, educational, five-day trip. The final activity was our senior play. At Class Day we realized, as the junior class moved up and took our place, that we existed only in pictures and words of the Senecan. Graduation took place on June 25. 1962. See you at the class reunion! 31 GAIL PALMER CLASS PROPHECY-CLASS OF 1962 The fourth class reunion in the fifteen years since the graduation of the class of ’62 seems as if it will be the best yet. A committee was put in charge of sending out invitations and making other arrangements. I distinctly hear members of the committee going over last minute details. Let’s switch directly to Lakeside Park, the scene of the fourth reunion and follow the proceedings. “Boy, I’m sure glad you sent out the invitations, Mico. says Shirley enthusiastically. “Me? I thought Joan and Debbie were in charge of that,” Mico replies. “Ask Kelso, he’ll know.” “Kelso, did you send out the invitations?” “Why no, didn’t Dutch and Q. do that job?” Class historian, Gail Palmer, finally comes to the rescue. I sent out the invitations, and look at this bundle of telegrams I got back — all saying that they would be unable to attend. Well, there goes another class reunion, just like the last three. Let’s read the telegrams anyway to find out what our former classmates are doing.” Nancy Magee has become an Art” critic under Mikey Reynolds, Jr., copyboy for the Watkins Review.

She was wholeheartedly received by the Senior Class and all other students, thus helping her year’s stay to be a very pleasant one. The Student Council has planned another such program for next year. Among many other projects the Council has supervised the ice-cream social, dancing lessons, student handbooks, and programs for football and basketball NATIONAL HONOR SOCIETY The four prerequisites to membership in the National Honor Society are Character, Scholarship, Leadership, and Service. Members are inducted into the Society at candle-light ceremonies in February and late spring. Officers this year were Dan Dolk, president; Jim Burt, vice-president; Pat Emmons, secretary; and Floyd Herrick, treasurer. The advisor is Mr. Ward. THE SENECAN STAFF The Yearbook Staff, under the direction of Mr. Steber and Mr. Mancuso, met in 1961-1962—in separate groups—on Wednesdays and Fridays. Mike Haramis and Dan Dolk were the co-editors of the 1962 edition of The Senecan. Steve Davis was business manager and Blanche Borzell was treasurer. Marsha O’Harra was the chief typist (and a very efficient one!) Many seniors contributed their time and talents to the yearbook staff — just look at the picture above — everybody worked at some time or other! The Student Standard, under the leadership of Mr. Schaefer (advisor) and Pete Freeman (editor-in-chief) produced seven issues during the 1961-1962 schoolyear. In addition to keeping the student body informed on sports events and school activities, the paper this year included stimulating editorials on vital student questions. Outstanding on the editor-in-chief’s staff were Mike Argetsinger (assistant editor), Blanche Borzell, James Ganung, and Marya Argetsinger (Junior editors), Bill Roberts (Sports), Joan Smith (Circulation), and Martha Johnson (Senior Class editor).

The purpose of the Future Teachers is to inspire and promote leadership among the students who expect to enter the teaching profession. The weekly meetings consist of several activities such as guest speakers, reports by members and panel discussions. One of the special privileges is the opportunity to observe weekly in elementary or high school classes. Actual experience teaching helps decide whether your interests are sincere. The advisor is Mrs. La Moreaux. The officers of the Future Teachers of America are president, Germaine Clark; vice-president, Harriet Miller; secretary, Carol Personious; treasurer, Peggy Love. In October the F. N. A. took a field trip to the St. Joseph’s School of Nursing in Elmira. The big project for this year was the Red Cross First Aid Course.

The purpose of the Biology Club, which meets once a month, is to enable students to develop their ideas through experimentation. In this club students have liberal use of laboratory equipment and are able to receive extra counsel and advice from Mrs. Stafford, the instructor. It is hoped that the members of this club will develop a greater interest in science, especially biology. Each member is working on a project. There are no officers in this club. The future homes of America are in the hands of its youth. Within these homes are found character, security, love, and service that is found in no other place. At the club meetings, the Future Homemakers of America, we strive to make better and happier homes through teaching the builders of them. We undertake activities that will improve our school and community. Our advisor was Miss Doris Scotton.

The 1961 Senecans ended their season with a 4-3 winning season, something which has not been accomplished very often. The passing of Bill Pierce and the block- ing and running of Bob Reale were main factors in Senecan victories. This year’s football team introduced night football to Watkins Glen at the Odessa-Watkins game. Although the team included 14 seniors, the outlook for next year is still optimistic because of the fine talent moving up from the J.V.’s to assist this year’s Juniors. 1961 FOOTBALL SCHEDULE Lakemont ... . .... 0 Watkins Glen... . ...41 Lansing .... 6 Watkins Glen. .. ....21 St. Mary’s . . . ....25 Watkins Glen. .. . ... 6 Odessa ....25 Watkins Glen. . . . . . . . 6 Dryden .... 6 Watkins Glen. .. . .. .26 T-Burg 12 Watkins Glen.... ... 6 Groton . .. .12 Watkins Glen. .. . ,...20 The retiring Senior players of the 1961 Football Squad are Bob Whiting, John Smith, Ken Duane, Mike Fraboni, Steve Kelley, Jack Stenberg, Jim Burt, Art Peck, Bill Pierce, Bruce Arnold, Bill Cherock, Lynn Lewis, Bob Reale, Steve Henderson, Peter Wentz, and Mike Argetsinger. 65 GOLF—1962 GOLF This year, for the first time in the history of the school, Watkins Glen Central School included golf in its program for spring interscholastic sports. This year the team consisted of six men with Mr. Galatis as coach. TEAM The team at yearbook press-time was to participate in eight matches with area schools and it was hoped it would display some fine golf. All home matches were scheduled to be held on the local golf course. 66 JUNIOR VARSITY BASKETBALL The 1961-62 Junior Senecans under coach Gary Slater had more than their share of set backs this year, but made up for it in spirit and hustle. Under the leadership of Jim Scott, Jim Whiting, Bob Kelley, Joe De-Dominick, and Bill Pastore, the J. V.’s put forth an inspiring season with many close decisions. They are a hard-working team and show great promise for the future.

Because the 1962 Senecan went to press early, a complete schedule of tennis activities is impossible. However, it was anticipated early in the season that the team would play Seneca Falls, Ithaca, Painted Post and Ovid. The team also planned to take part in a practice meet at Cornell. Mr. Schaefer, the long-time mentor of the squad, hoped for a good season. Although the boys were short on experience, hopes ran high early in the spring.

The cheerleaders traveled the Rochest- Ver in March to compete in a state wide cheerleading con- The Mixed Chorus, organized in 1961, consists of approximately sixty students who enjoy singing together, under the competent direction of Mr. Ernest Tolman. The Mixed Chorus entertained at the Christmas Concert in December, the Lenten Concert in March, the Spring Concert, and a singing tour of area schools in May. They completed the year’s activities with the rendering of selections at graduation. Membership is open to all students, and those who belong to the Girls’ Glee Club also can earn as much as one credit for the year. 78 SEXTET The Sextet, the smallest singing group in the school, has completed once again a most successful year. Outstanding among the year’s activities were a performance at the April meeting of the Parent Teacher’s Association and the Spring Concert in May. The high school Girls’ Glee Club, led by Mr. Tolman, performed at the annual Spring Concert in May. The Girls’ Glee Club, the largest vocal group in the music department, also participated in a tour of area schools in May. These girls sing classical and semiclassical music, religious selections and tunes from popular operetta and musical comedies. t°h i- SS.
