V cv X5J XV - To the Students and Faculty of W.G.C.S. Last year, W.G.C.S. had its first foreign student under the American Field Service program. This year the Ganungs were fortunate enough to be the host family to James Hezron Ndegwa from Kenya. A warm friendship has developed between him and the entire family. We are exchanging letters between families almost half way around the globe, learning from them as they learn from us. Africa is a continent composed of people who want recognition and freedom of self-rule. They will eventually be the deciding factor in the Cold War as the conflict for their minds continues. It is indeed fortunate that we have a guest from a country that will soon have its “uhuru,” or independence. To be able to live, speak and debate with this guest is a AFS STUDENTS Cathy Ganung, Jim Ganung, Mr. Cook. very rewarding experience. When you make a friend, a true friend, that is a great accomplishment. If this friend happens to be of another country, and perhaps of a different complexion, so much the better. I now wish to express my appreciation to the people who have unanimously offered their friendship and help to Jim. I hope that next year, when you have another foreign student, you will offer him, or her, the same graciousness and help that Jim and I have received this school year. With deepest sincerity and gratitude, James R. Ganung 6 BW ADMINISTRATION Seated: Mrs. J. Argetsinger, Mrs. B. Ganung, Dr. T. J. Love, Pres., Mrs. V. Adesso, Clerk. Standing: Mr. I. Davis, Mr. I.

Not knowing what was ahead of us, we believed that going to school was a never-ending obstacle which consisted of all work and no play. Some of us got started in a one-room country school house where one teacher taught six different grades. Others got their start in what was then, and still is, the present-day high school. The remainder of us just got started. After we finally made it through elementary school, for our seventh year we were sent to the high school to further our education. It was in our seventh and eighth grade years that we began to realize what high school was really like. We learned many new things in those two exciting years, some of them being what you could call the tricks of the trade; these tricks being how to use your elbows when passing to classes, how to cut in line in the cafeteria, and, most important, how to chew gum without moving your mouth. It was not until the year nineteen hundred and fifty-nine that we were formally admitted into the senior high. It was Freshman Initiation, an event we had always dreamed of, one we had long looked forward to, but one which was abolished in our senior year. Under the fine leadership of Miss Elizabeth Haughey, our advisor, and Miss Cleo Milliman, our assistant advisor, we began in our Freshman year with the planning of the Washington trip. Our battle cry was money. We needed money in the worst possible way. The only way to get this money was the worst possible way, and that was to work for it. Yes, it was the class of sixty-three that first sold that sticky, gooey, but (Jp-licious chocolate candy. With our candy sales adding greatly to our treasury, we also made our Freshman year a success with the proceeds from the senior faculty game, and from our first high school dance, “The Freshman Surprise.” In our Sophomore year we were the proprietors of the refreshment stand at both the football and basketball games, and we were also the sponsors of the “Go-Gobble Hop”. We ended our second year high with one other successful dance entitled “Spring Enchantment”. In our Junior year we received our Junior rings, we sold stationery, and we had a highly successful wreath sale which netted us two dollars and fifty-six cents. “Hawaiian Sunset”, our junior prom, was held in May, and we finished out our third year with the Sadie Hawkins B. C., the Alumni Banquet, and the sale of Glen Classic programs. In September, nineteen hundred and sixty-two, we began our fourth and final year at W.G.C.S. This being our Senior year, we started things off with magazines. After making a killing with our magazine sales, we sold programs at the fifteenth annual Grand Prix in September, and at the United States Grand Prix in October. It was then that we started hearing bells; it was “Silver Bells”, our senior ball. After two days of arduous work with Mr. Slater, our new assistant advisor, at the control wheel, the gym was decorated and we had a Ball, December 26, 1962. On April sixth, the class of sixty-three staged the three-act comedy, “The Thread That Runs So True”, by Jesse Stuart. During the play the class didn’t act as if they were overly bright, but really they were just acting. We just wonder how it came so easy. Then on April fifteenth, we started spending the money that we had worked so hard for during the past four years. It was the annual trip to Washington, D. C. We spent five days in our nation’s Capital, and surprisingly enough we returned home with the exact number of students with which we had left! We let our chaperones do just about anything they wanted to, and we are proud to say that we got them all back safely. It is now Class Day, and with this thought in mind we, the class of sixty-three, wish to grant you, our underclassmen, the same good luck and happiness that we have had in our past four years here at one of the finest of all educational facilities, Watkins Glen Central School. Wally Burnett PROPHECY OF THE CLASS OF ’63 It is now June, nineteen hundred and eighty-three. Twenty years ago this month the Class of Sixty-three graduated from what was then Watkins Glen Central School. Many things have taken place since then, and the members of the Class of Sixty-three have gone on to become some of the world’s most outstanding figures. We now take you to Cape Canaveral to find out what the Class of Sixty-three has been doing. As we gaze across the launching pad here at the Cape, we see a huge space-ship being fueled and having the last minute checks made before blastoff.

In dramatic speeches in February and May assemblies, members announced qualifying students, who have been judged by the faculty for Character, Scholarship, Leadership, and Service. James Ndegwa, our A. F. S. student, a native of Kenya, was named an honorary member of the Society in the May induction. The Honor Society, under the guidance of Mr. Ward, marks the highest achievement of a high school career.

SECRETARIAL CLUB The Secretarial Practice Club, formed each year under the direction of Miss Haughey, consists of Junior and Senior girls interested in furthering their business careers. Each girl was assigned to a teacher at the beginning of the year and did the typing and mimeographing of tests, study sheets, and other work. In short, with this type of experience, the girls more easily adjust to future employers and the secretarial field. 49 —Corona Smith STUDENT STANDARD P VJoT «� ?

New members are easily discernable at the commencement of the year, during F. N. A. initiation. A mere look at these hopeless individuals is enough to send one into stitches. This year’s officers were president, Margaret Decker; vice-president, Elsie Mathews; secretary, Pat Havens; historian, Jean Peck, and reporters, Pamela Lemak and Pat Rudy. Under the leadership of Mrs. Miller, members were acquainted with the nursing profession through guest speakers, field trips, and discussion periods.

Members hope that this recent addition to our school extracurricular activities will, through its stimulating conversation and injection of varied views, provide a breeding ground for mature and informal thinking on the world situation. —A. P. Math students find a challenge in their chosen field in the Math Club, under the guidance of Miss Conrad. These honor students are not really squares although their club runs parallel to math courses and is really an extended study group.

Advisor Mr. Warner teaches the boys the fundamentals of Morse Code and radio. Signed, RADIO CLUB Left to Right: J. Whiting, R. Bachand, R. Dill, M. Banner, Mr. Warner. STAMP AND COIN CLUB To coin a phrase, a club was born. The Stamp and Coin Club, supervised by Mr. Rowles, as organized this year with Dick Dibble, president; Carl Sgrecci, vice-president; and Carol Herron, secretary-treasurer. Members were given the opportunity to buy and trade stamps and coins to build up their own collections while learning more about their hobby. The club visited similar groups as part of their “learning program.” —Dolares Cents STAMP AND COIN CLUB Row 1: J. Westervelt, L. Greuber, F. Lachut. Row 2: C. Herron, R. Dibble, C. Sgrecci, R.

SEMINAR Voluntarily taking extra courses in science, and the humanities, seminar students prove that their attitude toward education is not one of “going along for the ride.” However, the weekly hour ride to Savona has become a tradition to these avid scholars. Armed with candy, songs, jokes and books, the intellectuals of W.G.C.S. brave the long trek with conversations ranging from cigarillos to theology. The fifth year of seminar classes featured a course in Spanish for the humanitarians, and a study of ecology and nuclear physics for the budding scientists. Instruction is at a college level in order to stimulate the seminar students to further outside study. — the bus. 60 w SENIOR BAND Left to Right, 1st Row: G. Clark, C. Personius, M. Argetsinger, R.

These girls, under the direction of Miss Ryer, fought the battles from the sidelines. The Varsity cheerleaders purchased new uniforms for the basketball season, but, in new or old uniforms, the smiles and pep were just as fresh. The girls who wore these bright uniforms and smiles so well were headed by Varsity captain, Judy Decker, and J.V. captain, Getchie Ar-getsinger. All the girls rallied round to help serve at banquets honoring the players, to hold pep assemblies, and to promote school spirit. Kneeling: M. Argetsinger, N. VanAmburg, P. Irish. Standing: D.

WRESTLING The sport of wrestling enjoyed a revival at Watkins Glen during 1962-1963, after an interval of two seasons. Under the leadership of Coach Donald Sommersdorf and Captain David Osatchuck, the Senecan mat-men compiled numerous individual victories, although team results reflected the two-years lay-off. The continuance of this sport will insure wider opportunities for inter-scholastic competition in the future. 80 SPRING SPORTS BASEBALL “VARSITY” “AGILITY” FLYHAWKS” 82 1963 SPRING SPORTS SCOREBOARD TENNIS (won----lost---) Opponent We They Lakemont — Southside — Dundee — Horseheads — at Ovid — at Painted Post — at Dundee — at Ithaca — Ovid — at EFA — at Horseheads — Painted Post — at Lakemont — Ithaca — GOLF Opponent (won lost ) We They at Waverly Edison ........
