The school has definitely seen improvement in all three fields this year. Congress was organized, the Senate under Vice President Nancy Blumer, and the House under Speaker Ezio Leonardi, who deserves recognition for his dynamic leadership, One of the first acts of Congress was to recognize by law President Skvorak's suggestion that teachers be admitted free to all school activities. This was later ap- proved by the classes. By studying the Constitution, Skvorak discovered that several powers of Congress had been usurped by the Cabinet. The restoration of these to Congress has given it new vitality. As a result, more legislation has been enacted than in many previous years. A Student Court has been put into action and the Hall Patrol has reduced traffic fatalities in the upper corridor. An important Constitutional Amendment provides for Congressional elec- tions at midyear. Removed from routine chores like locker inspections, the President's Cabinet has concentrated on larger matters. One innovation this year was the Tea Dance idea. Four of these were held in place of assemblies. The kids enjoyed dancing in the gym for an hour, with plenty of refreshments at hand. Arrangements were made for a professional photographer to cover the operetta, The Sunbonnet Girl, the Junior Prom and the Senior play, in addition to the usual Students' Day, when students took over classes, a 'Dress-as-you-like Day wasinitiated, Some people like strange things! ln general, this has been a memorable year for student govemment and those who worked hard in it hope this is only the beginning. Jack Skvorak Nancy Blumer

14,4 'am CS? - We, the Class of 1953, present with great pride, this yearbook to our fellow students and the community, as a record of many incidents, large and small, which have occurred throughout the school year. These bits of in- formation and snapshots portray our lives as they are today, and will become in the future, the treasured memo- ries of a wonderful year, We have spent many long, hard hours, collecting snapshots, soliciting ads, preparing dummies and meeting deadlines, in an effort to publish the finest yearbook yet known to Weedsport Central School. Without a doubt, the yearbooks to come will go on to be still finer and full of new ideas, but still we feel, as each class does, that never again will there be a book to compare with this, for SPARKS of '53 contains a bit of each Senior which he himself contributed. SPARKS could not have been made possible, however, without the guidance of Mr. Alfred J. Horrocks, rep- resentative of the Taylor Yearbook Company, who calmly sat through hours of questions and quibbling with the eventual result, being, we hope, the beginning of bigger and better yearbooks for Weedsport Central School, nor without Miss Geraldine Palmer, class and staff advisor, who contributed her time and energy, for which we will always be grateful, toward making this, as the rest of our projects, a huge success. The Staff wishes to thank these people and all those others who contributed in any way toward publishing this annual. Our one aim and hope is that this book serves the purpose of giving you as much pleasure by leafing through it, as we have had putting it together. The Editors
