On these pages we have portrayed the pur-A suits which we have followed during the past four years in our quest for mental riches, and have adapted these activities to scenes which were commonplace a century ago-those of eager prospectors hurrying westward to a promised land, to a goal that would yield lifelong con- ln l94fl, an aggregation ol' eager freshmen arose to new heights and were informed of the riches awaiting them at the end of a tedious four year journey. Looking back on that four year trek, we find it, IIOI a four years of hard work, but instead a four years in which our preparaa tory labors have been overshadowed by the tentment. CQ, If 'Q golden bonanza that we, the class of '49, now have reached. Thus it was that September of the year 1944 found us selecting john Eckmair as our leader, and Mrs. Carson as our governmental adviser for our westward journey through the first Indian-infested portion of our course. A year later Dave Palmer moved in as leader, and kept us in constant watch of our picks and shovels. Miss Speich was the presiding magis- trate on the midwest plains we now traversed. -,,,-exi- .f! g , .rj -- .:- , f 2. s . ,,. ,. .

During our third year journey, we were under the jurisdiction of two resident executives, Mr. Morris and Mr. Harrison. The year's leader, Grant Hansel, was chosen while the group was in the territory governed by Mr. Morris. Mr. Harrison presided over the foot hills beyond the boundaries of Mr. Morris, and he helped us re- gain our footing for the arduous ascent. So it was that we were in excellent condition for the last and most difficult section of our expedition. In the fall of 1948 we reached the crisis, a huge mountain range, a territory guided by a very capable and experienced official, Mrs. Sco- field. We selected an able leader in Ed McGee and now, at the end of our quest, we rejoice that our last year's adventure has been planned so adeptly, and that the golden reflections which we shall see in Tm: Nl'cm:1' will always be sur- rounded by a golden haze in our memories in the years to come. I4 PA H Zln Hlemorian tn Mrs. btnfizlh The class of '49 express the reverent and sincere devotion of all who knew her by consecrating this work to her memory. This memory is made most pleasant by the thoughts of her brilliance and her unrelenting devotion to the welfare of her life's work-our school and classmates. This annual is hereby committed to the memory of a person whose spirit shall never be absent from the halls of our school, Whose every cheery remark shall always be rememberedas a part of the person whose greatness was not meant to be described by words but rather a greatness that will be perpetuated by the deeds of those she has helped so quietly. y To the memory of a person whose very life was the characteri- zation of her high ideals, we dedicate LLTHE NUGGP1T,, to Mrs. Gertrude S. Scofield. B0 RD OF EDUCATIO Scaled: K. jones, ll. Killy. lf. Doyle. Standing: F. Lewis, K. Cates. FACULTY Row I: S. Smith. M. Talylnr. R. Cosenlinn. D. Moyer. C. Srnllelcl. XV. Sleeves, M. Bnrrh ll.

The occasion was a program depicting the history of Armistice Day. Again ou November 13. several members of the band left home to attend the all-state program at Whitesboro. The Christmas program this year found the band pro, viding its share of the entertainment with the presentation of several novelty numbers. As usual, everyone looks forward to the spring activities of the band because these activities provide educational fun to accompany the suspense of waiting to hear the rating.

Another ndefeated Sea on On November 12, 1948, West Winfield com- pleted another football season, its third consecu- tive undefeated six-man football season, and its fourth highly successful season in four years. As last year, we played one eleven man game in the hope that this would prepare us for a season which would find our school with a squad suf- ficiently large enough to enable our participa- tion in a full season of eleven competition. Al- though the loss of this game made a blemish upon our 1948 record, the boys feel the import of this defeat to have been lessened by the short- age of time available to practice for this game. This year's starting lineup was composed of George Welch and Dick Blowers, halfbacks, Ed McGee, captain and quarterback, Dave Palmer and Bob Murphy, ends, and Grant Hansel, cen- ter. Welch and McGee excelled in broken field running and passing, with George doing the kicking. Dick Blowers functioned on offensive plays through the line, and demonstrated himself to be an able blocker. Dave Palmer and Bob Mur- phy caught a large majority of the passes and aided greatly in breaking loose our backs for large single gains per try. Grant Hansel anchored the center of the line and joined his teammates in their enthusiasm for making a good block. On defense, the team was well balanced, and the sharp tackles and rushing line of West Winfield have become very well known and respected in the Tri-County League.

Our season opened against Brookheld, a foe whose past teams had been formidable and who existed as an ever present threat to our hopes for a suc- cessful season. The win over Brookfield gave us eonhdence in our merit, and we went forth to meet Waterville on our home held with all the vigor of a running organization. Irregardless of our second successive wet field, we built up a twenty-point lead in the first twelve minutes of play and went on to win in a fashion that pro- vided preparation for the payoff game of the season, Sauquoit. Sauquoit was being rightfully hailed as a strong team, undefeated and composed of the same six which had given West Winfield a hard time on our home field in 1947. The team was up for the game and played hard through- out, never pausing to think about the score. XVhen we had secured the victory and our methods had shown the opponent that we didn't intend to let down our defense for a second and give them a break. Consequently, the league crown was in sight with our defeat of this pri- mary contender. In Cherry Valley and Springfield we met opposition that could not cope with our experi- ence. The liarlville game was a different matter since they were coming to us with an undefeated season. liarlville left with a victorious record at the expense of this one post-season eleven-man football defeat for West Mfinfield. Another year from the first six, Bob Murphy, Grant Hansel, Dave Palmer and lid McGee are destined for distant gridirons.

The 19-18-49 season bore witness to the battles between Cherry Valley and West Winfield in the heated contention for this yea 's trophy. This league title was decided in February, when the decisive game was played at Cherry Valley, with the final score 51-4-1. Starting the season with but one regular, and lacking the potential services of two others by dint of their football injury, Coach Super proceeded to fashion a win- ning aggregation. As the season progres- sed, the team progressed both in experience and in results. The season opener at Bridgewater was won by forfeitg then, the annual game at Richfield ended with the fellows on the short end of the score. From then on, however, things went dif- ferently. A league won-lost record of 2-l was acquired in the game at Springlieldg and Oneonta, although she won, suffered a moral loss at the hands of a vastly improved team. Waterville's Tri-County League leaders were defeated, and we gained the league lead by winning our initial contest with Cherry Valley. A loss to Chadwieks merely prepared the team for a convincing win over Richheld. Waterville atoned for her previous defeat, but again we bounced back to take our other win over Springfield. Glass backboards greatly attributed to Oneonta's win at the Hartwick College Gymnasium in our hrst contest of l949. The Mohawk Valley League sent an able representative up to wrest a victory, Her- knner acting as ambassador. Bridgewater was very firmly trounced as the fellows wartned up lor the lorthcoining game with the free-lanee New York Mills teani. ln a very close finish, two foul shots won this game lor ns, lfollowing the win over Cherry Valley we played host to Clhadwic-ks and administered a revengelnl defeat to make this three in row. .lonrneying to the large New York Mills gym the fellows soundly overpowered the strong New York Mills aggregation, giving promise ol' a line showing in the playolls. Playing in an overtitne period Herkiiner defeated the loeals in a thriller on its honte eonrt. Going into the section ll tournament with all the power of its predecessors, the Winlield teatn again looked sure over Verona. However the Verona boys playing on the Oneida Court seemed to establish themselves and won winning ll and losing T. Nlr. XVells acted as part-time .IV roach with Mr. Super and Walton' they lonntl at their disposal a wealth of niaterial, giving promise for the sneeess of our lortheoining seasons.

The Sports Club has sponsored inter school soccer games. After school bowl- ing was enjoyed once a week during the winter months. Bowling tournaments were set up between the classes, various organizations and schools. Our club en- tertained girls from the Cherry Valley League for a bowling play-day in N0- vember. Tournaments and mixed LCLIIIIS have taken part in noon-hour activities. The girls sold refreshments at the home football, basketball, and baseball games and had charge of ticket sales.

A student-faculty conunit- tee replaced the old procedure of popular vote. The student section consisted of a representa- tive from Varsity Club, one from Girls' Sports Club, one from Student Council and the three returning cheerleaders. Appear- ance, motions, sportsmanship and enthusiasm of the candi- dates were all considered in the final selection. The Varsity Cheerleaders se- lected Ellen Kilty and Betty Shipman as co-captains and the junior Varsity squad chose Bev- erly Strong as its captain. l'Veekly practices were sched- uled on Wednesday nights and the girls have worked hard to become smoothly coordinating ICZIIIIS. STUDENT COUNClL The Student Council started the year by choosing its officers and selecting activity dates lor the coming year. The treasury has grown by the sponsorship ol' such activities as the sale of individual pic- tures. The formation of a photography club, and charitable activities such as collections for the March of Dimes and the Salvation Army were handled by this group.

The cast gather around the prostrate play director who fainted when his cherished play rehearsal developed too many dis- turbing interruptions. The play was centered about the efforts of the orphaned Bob and Harold Means in keeping their home and in helping a friend regain his place in society. A comical sidelight is provided by the at- tempts ol the aloof and intellectual Garrison Gar- wood to hold a play rehearsal. This play, called Dogs in the Manger , seemed doomed at every turn with the once egotistical Garwood now relev gated to a nervous breakdown. The unfettered pandemonium that reigned dur- ing most of the play coupled very smoothly with the play's happy ending. The happiest ending was not until the last curtain had been drawn that the cast expressed its appreciation for the capable di- rection and guidance that Mr. Harrison gave to this production.

Laughs were provided when the unfavored Irish Lass proves to be the sister of Perry Van Lone, a boy previously held in high esteem by the haughty, sophisticated Nella Barrington.
