Additional Information
1950 Ardsleyan Yearbook
In a valley rich in Mem'ries
By a trail the Indians made,
Ivy-covered walls rise proudly,
From a slope of richest jade.
Sunshine lingers on its beauty,
Loyal hearts pay homage due,
To our own dear Alma Mater
And the Orange and the Blue.

"Whistle While You Work" has been the motto of the 1950 yearbook staff who
undertook the man-sized job of creating a new type of yearbook for Ardsley High
School. The Junior Class staff had to learn the meaning of the printer's technical terms,
but with perseverance they forged ahead, mastering the terminology and striving to
produce an enriched book containing such new features as grade write-ups, individual
faculty pictures, illustrated division pages, and a hard cover.
All of the changes in content did not just come about. In solving such problems as
layout, budget, and copy, much time and thought have been spent.
The 1950 Ardsleyan was our baby, and as we watched it grow from infancy to its
final stage, we felt sure that every bit of concern, enthusiasm, and effort, which had
played so important a role in its development, had been richly rewarded.

DEDICATION
TO THE PAST:
The past of any school is the story of its students' progress and
achievements; such is the history of Ardsley High. The first Ardsley
School was a little one room building in a small farm community,
but through the years the village has developed, and so, gradually,
has the school; for today's building is quite different from that of fifty
years ago. The small school had no large Honor Society organization,
nor any of the many extra-curricular activities we have in the present-
day school, but the past students had their own achievements. Our
trophy case is filled with cups that were won by the past members
of our school. Some are for honors in sports and others for oratorical
honors. Yes, we have but to look about the school and we shall find
reminders of past teachers and pupils. Each year our Honor Society
pays tribute to those members who have passed away, pays trib-
ute to their large or small contributions to the progress of the
school. Our past may not have been glorious, but it is still alive be-
cause of the people who shared in it.
TO THE PRESENT:
Our present day Ardsley High is indeed spacious in comparison to that of the past.
Here in the present we have students and teachers working together in order to achieve
success for the benefit of our school. Although people consider us a small school, we
always manage to hold our own with the larger communities. Our basketball squad
is not spectacular, but the members of the team possess a fighting spirit which many
times won them a game. The present day Honor Society organization has a wide mem-
bership, and students consider it an honor to be permitted to join it and share in its
development.
The Honor Society is headed by members of the Third Degree who propose the
rules of the organization and try to promote worth-while projects in the school for the
benefit of future generations. Many teachers give up their own time for clubs which
are social as well as educational. There are the Spanish Club, the Varsity Choir and
Ensemble, the G. A. A., the Sports Club, the orchestra and numerous others. All of
these activities of today bring about achievements to be equalled by future students.
Yes, we students and teachers of the present are helping to change the history of our
school — each in his own way.
TO THE FUTURE:
Our community is growing with leaps and bounds, and people
are looking into the future when the present school building will not
be adequate for the demands made upon it. Maybe the future means
another step in the growth of the Ardsley High School. It may bring
a bigger and better school building with newer equipment or it may
mean an enlargement of the present building, but whatever the out-
come, you may be sure that the future students will be there to keep
alive the spirit and tradition of the past. We of the present will help
to mold the happenings of the future, but only those of the future can
build on our foundations. We are all interdependent on one another.
Therefore, the class of 1951 with the able assistance of Father Time
(symbolic of the past) and Little New Year (symbolic of the future)
does hereby dedicate the 1950 ARDSLEYAN to the past, the present,
and the future members of Ardsley High School.

SENIOR SPOTLIGHT
As we walked up the front steps of Ardsley High in September, 1946, little did
we realize the many activities we would engage in during our four years in high school.
Our first big problem, true of all Freshmen, was adapting ourselves to the new phase
of life which we had just entered. We had to prove to the rest of the high school that
we were worthy of being part of their organization, and so we vowed to partake in
as many events as possible.
Our first big affair was sponsoring for the entire high school an old-fashioned
barn dance with all the trimmings. Mr. Thomas called all of the best square dances,
and the entire assemblage let their hair down to allow the Frosh to give them one of
the best times they'd ever had. To supplement our Washington Trip Fund, we also
held an auction at the barn dance during which everyone had a wonderful time bid-
ding for the junk from many attics. We now had proven ourselves and were ready
to take an active part in high school.
As we became Sophomores, our main objective was to accumulate money for our
Washington Trip Fund. To start our money-raising drive, we held a food sale for the
village. Everyone in the class prepared his own specialty and thereby made our first
sale a wonderful success. Our other money-raising project that year was the Sopho-
more P. X. At each home basketball game, we sold candy bars, something all the
teenagers readily consumed.
As Juniors, one of our biggest and most important projects came into being. We
became the class which publishes the school yearbook, the ARDSLEYAN. We, as do
all classes, decided to have the best book possible so we began to aim toward our
goal at the very beginning of the school year. Members of the ARDSLEYAN staff at-
tended a forum held at Columbia University to educate students as to how to publish
a better yearbook. With all of these suggestions behind us, we started on the actual
task of producing a yearbook. After months of hard work and after having overcome
many obstacles, we finally had the great satisfaction of distributing our book.
Also on the agenda for the year was the sponsoring of the Senior prom. We strove
to have a large attendance and to give the Seniors a memorable send-off. Doing our
best to publicize the "Stardust Ball", we encouraged many of the oldtimers as well as
the high school students to attend it. A special attraction was the choosing of the
Stardust Queen who was then crowned and led to her throne.
Finally we became Seniors, the leading class in the entire school. Now our most
demanding work was to take place. We had to make our greatest drive for money for our
Washington Trip Fund. Our first big project was the subscription campaign in which all
the high school helped. We held a pep assembly at the beginning of the year and opened
the campaign with a bang. So early in the school term, everyone had a lot of stored-up
energy to be used; thus the results were more than satisfactory. At last, our class was
given the opportunity to show everyone our dramatic ability. On two nights we pre-
sented the Broadway hit, "January Thaw", for the entire village to see. Although most
of us had stage fright, we gained assurance and amused both of our audiences with
the funny characterizations and scenes.
Now that we had our subscription campaign and play behind us, our greatest
ambition came true. We were ready to go to Washington D. C., during Easter vacation.
For weeks all the Seniors had been discussing the trip, and now we were finally on
our way. Our many dreams were realized as we went on tours around our nation's
capital. For a long time we had wished to see Congress and our government in action
so we might get a clearer conception of this important section of our country. We also
enjoyed seeing Mt. Vernon and the many monuments and museums about which we
had heard so much. After our wonderful week in Washington, we all came home re-
gretting that the time had passed so quickly but overjoyed that we had been able to
go. Now we all looked forward to graduation, the culmination of our high school
career.
As we walk down the front steps of Ardsley High School in June, 1950, we look
back upon our short stay with the fondest memories. We realize the many events which
we helped to operate and the countless activities we took part in. We made our way
through high school, steadily improving and helping others. Now we have another
greater task ahead of us. We no longer shall have the teachers to help us with our
big decisions but have to go into the world using our own judgments. We are sure
that through high school, we became better prepared to meet the job ahead of us and
will always look upon high school as our principal start in life.

The Third Degree, consisting of twelve members, constitutes the executive body
of the Honor Society. With their adviser, these students, chosen for leadership and
character, take charge of the various activities connected with the organization.
At the First Degree Initiation in November, forty-three pupils, ranging from the
fourth grade through high school, became members. The Honorable Walter G. Seely
addressed the group for the twenty-seventh consecutive year.
During the Christmas season the members of the Third Degree entered enthusias-
tically into the happy task of decorating the high school halls. For the second year a
mail box facilitated the exchange of holiday greetings. The spirit of Christmas spread
quickly until all the rooms were transformed into winter wonder-lands.

BOYS’ ATHLETICS
VARSITY
The long awaited day, November 1st, arrived with 32 hopefuls reporting to the gymnasium
for basketball practice. After careful screening, Coach Kenneth Brown molded a Varsity team around
four returning veterans by adding two Seniors and two Sophomores. Hopes were high for this team,
labeled in a fall assembly by Coach Brown. "The Team of Destiny". __
Opening the League season in January, the team with two victories and one defeat, went
into the first game with great confidence for a successful season. Hendrick Hudson, the first to feel
their power, dropped by the wayside as did Elmsford, but the Elmsford victory was a costly one
as Edgar Walton, outstanding Senior player, suffered a broken arm in the closing moments and was
lost for the season. The loss of Edgar left a great gap in team morale and ability, and although the
other boys did their best, three games were dropped before they found their stride again. Playing
.500 ball against such teams as Bronxville, Mt. Kisco, Briarcliff and larger League schools, the team
ended their season with 8 victories and 9 defeats, with Capt. Vito DeNardo leading his team in
scoring.
For outstanding ability in their own class, the Ardsley Varsity team was invited to participate in
the State Tournament and play a game with Rhinebeck at Hyde Park.
JUNIOR VARSITY
The Junior Varsity under Mr. Frank Kluge seasoned into a fine team after five weeks of drill.
Their record of five straight wins before two boys, Robert Kamke and Daniel Gorman, were moved
to the Varsity spoke of their possibilities. However, the shifting of the two Junior boys to the Varsi-
ty put too much burden on inexperienced players, and the team never did regain their form. Cons-
tant drill by Mr. Kluge has given many, high hopes of attaining a position on the Varsity when
the season opens next year.
BOYS' PHYSICAL EDUCATION
Once again the formation of the Blue-Gold teams for competitive work in classes proved a stim-
ulant for interest and ability. Each boy was assigned in the fall to either a Blue or Gold team in his
class. A record was kept of all contests and points awarded and scored.
Competition was held between these teams in such events as the following: softball, touch
football, basketball, one mile run, cricket, baseball, foul-shooting, kick ball, shuffleboard. Ping-pong,
rope climbing, dodge ball, relay races, and other activities.
Conditioning exercises, distant runs, physical achievement tests, skill tests, horizontal and side
horse exercises again proved popular with the boys.
This year Thomas Marzella won the Ardsley High School Foul Shooting Championship for
the second season.

GIRLS’ SPORTS
G.A.A. — The Girls' Athletic Association started off
with a bang this year by having sixty out of sixty-four
girls in the entire high school attend the opening
mass meeting. After a very close election Joan Lutz
rose victorious to become President and Betty Ann
Stone, Secretary.
The first main event was a double round-robin
tournament in volleyball from which the deserving
"Seals", led by Claudia Speicher, emerged the
victors. The first Sports Day was played with our
traditional rival, Dobbs Ferry High School, a con-
quest we can most certainly gloat over. This year
instead of soccer, the girls decided to have inter-
class volleyball. From the resulting eye-opening bat-
tle with the Juniors, the Sophomores were proclaimed
champions. The popular basketball season rolled
around giving Dolores Garnier's team the victor's ban-
ner. Next, came everyone's favorite, badminton, with
a ladder type of tournament. We wound up the year
with a smashing season of softball. Everyone feels
that this has been the greatest year ever for G.A.A.
SPORTS CLUB — The most cherished honor for any
girl in G.A.A. is to become a member of the Sports
Club, the group of leaders in sports activities. The
members officiate at all G.A.A. games and sponsor
playdays and sport days.
The first thing on the agenda was the election of
club president with Joan Lutz capping that honor.
Next, grade school children supported the showing
of a cartoon movie, a project which netted enough
money to buy each member of the Sports Club a
green and white sweater as a symbol of the organi-
zation. In January the group welcomed two new
members into their fold. On the whole, the Sports
Club has had a very successful year and is looking
forward to many more.
G.A.B. — Something new has been added to girls'
sports organizations this year. It is called the Girls'
Athletic Board and consists of one representative
from each class plus the G.A.A. officers and a mem-
ber of the Sports Club. The purpose of the board
is to plan the girls' sports program after school and
to schedule playdays with other schools. The G.A.B.
has performed a wonderful job this year, and here's
wishing them luck in the future.

DRAMATICS CLASS
In September, 1949, as students arranged their schedules for the new term, about
fourteen chose Dramatics, a half-year course taught by Mrs. Elinor Koenig. It was some-
thing new and proved very interesting as time went on. The class was divided in half;
while the first group worked on a play, the other half gathered informative material
on acting, directing, lighting, prompting and make-up. About the middle of November,
the second half put on a play as the others learned more concerning the stimulating
topics that were contained in this Dramatics course. Excellent directing and prompting
proved successful as the actors of both plays gave fine performances at two assemblies
for the high school audience.

COMMERCIAL
For the Commercial Club the year was an interesting one. At one meeting Miss
Twinkie Randall, a cousin of Miss Patteson, came to give us a very informative talk on
her duties as secretary in the American Embassy in Egypt. At another gathering Miss
Anita Chandler, a representative from Packard Secretarial College, spoke to us about
the essential qualities needed for a successful secretary.
CLUB
As a group the Commercial Club visited Agricultural Associates, Inc., in Ardsley
and also the Sonotone plant in Elmsford.
Though the year is nearly over, we feel that we have accomplished something
worth-while to look back upon and know that the information and suggestions given us
this year will help us tremendously in the future.
EL CIRCULO
In September the two sections of the Spanish Club resumed activities under the
guidance of Miss Helen Robbie. The officers of the Senior group are Joan Koster,
President, and Joan Garnier, Secretary. The first year students chose Patricia Friscjt-
mann, President, and Gail Kurkela, Secretary.
The purposes of the club are to provide a source of recreation and to acquaint the
students more fully with the language and people of Spain, Mexico and South America.
A study of the cultures and history of the Latin American countries and the formation
of a sympathetic attitude toward their points of view are encouraged.

JOURNALISM CLUB
A well-established organization consisting, at present, of only ten members is the
Journalism Club. Besides engaging in the production of our school paper, the mem-
bers also become familiar with the use of the mimeograph, the art of stenciling and
the qualities of a good reporter.
Each month the club publishes the "Salt and Pepper", a paper dealing chiefly
with current events, humor and school news. With the profit received from sale of the
paper, the group buys material necessary for the next publication. This year the Jour-
nalism Club took a trip to the News Building to view the advanced arts of publishing
a paper.

THE MUSIC DEPARTMENT
Under the supervision and direction of Miss Evelyn Hallenbeck and Mr. Mitchell
Vincent, the music department has developed into one of the most active functions in
Ardsley High School. At any time of the day, music may be heard resounding into the
wee corners of the hallways filling the school with its melody.
Two afternoons a week, the auditorium holds in its throng the Senior Elementary
Chorus, composed of seventh and eighth graders. The chorus, under the supervision of
Miss Hallenbeck, holds us under its spell as they sing the everyday favorites so many
enjoy. These youngsters have entertained in numerous school musical programs and
also have entered into competition.
Newly organized this year is the Junior Chorus in which the fifth and sixth grades
participate. Some of their excellent work has been heard in many school assembly pro-
grams. A group of eighteen, selected from these two organizations, had the honor of
taking part in a radio broadcast over WFAS last March.
Two mornings before school the orchestra, under Mr. Vincent, practices in the audi-
torium doing their best to become one of the finest orchestras Ardsley has ever had.
Basically, the orchestra is composed of younger students who in most cases will have
four years of experience in this field before they graduate from high school. Three
members of the orchestra participated in the Sectional All-State Music Festival in White
Plains gaining considerable experience in playing with hundreds of other students
from the area. One member, Virginia Brennan, also played in the All-State Symphony
which performed at the New York State School Music Association Conference at
Saratoga.
The high school began the year by having a mixed chorus compulsory for all. It
has now developed into a body of interested singers. The Mixed Chorus was not organ-
ized for performances but to further group spirit, increase natural vocal abilities, and
to help students to gain experience in singing with others.
Two mornings each week the school is entranced by the pleasant sounds issuing
forth from the music room. These melodies come from the Varsity Choir, which has a
larger membership this year. The choir works to gain even balance and to attain
greater musical ability. Several of the members of this group performed in the Sectional
All-State Chorus in White Plains, and the complete chorus entered all-state competition.
A new development this year is the Varsity Ensemble composed of twelve girls
from the Varsity Choir. After many days of hard work, they gained recognition by
preparing a program sung over the radio and thereby enthralled a large gathering in
New York City.
From all of these musical organizations has developed the Clef Club, which is the
advisory board of the music department. Everyone is eligible for membership who has
earned a varsity music letter or has shown sufficient effort and interest in the field
of music. The purpose of the Clef Club is to make rules of conduct and effort for each
music organization, to award letters to any deserving person, and to discuss matters
which arise during the year. The club makes it possible for the students themselves
to form their own decisions and rules by which they must abide.
In addition to the many organizations of the school, music is also taught as a part
of the regular grade program. Development of vocal and instrumental work has been
stressed in order to build a foundation for future growth in music. Musical aptitude
tests are given to all grade pupils in order to find out each student's ability. Musical
instrument lessons are provided for those who show sufficient ability and interest. Also,
as a part of the program, each class learns the fundamentals of music, increasing their
own knowledge as they go through school. Each child is exposed to as much music as
possible and is encouraged to develop his own ability.
The music department has not stopped growing as yet. Each year new additions
and changes are made. Nearly every student in school is in some way involved in
the music department, and the whole school takes pride in the work that has been done.

THE OUTDOOR CLUB
One of the oldest clubs in the Ardsley High
School is the Outdoor Club under the advisership of
Mr. A. W. Silliman, our principal. It was formed in
1936. The main objective of the club is in taking
automobile camping trips in order to give the stu-
dents an opportunity to see as much as possible of
the natural scenery in the United States. The club is
also keenly interested in conservation work and stress-
es the idea of improved camping methods. The ex-
perience of camping aids the members in developing
LEFT TO RIGHT - Richard
leadership, responsibility, and outdoor skills. Last fall
in the line of conversation the members of the Out-
door Club helped winterize the cabins at Croton
Point Camp, fixed railings along the trails, and laid
in a good supply of firewood. The club has taken
trips to the Adirondack and Green Mountains, to
Valley Forge and the Amish country, and to a cabin
near Brewster. These trips, as well as being educa-
tional, were heartily enjoyed by all concerned.

The object of being a Girl Scout is to aid the
community in every way as well as to teach every
member to be a good citizen. The Ardsley Girl
Scouts try to carry out this ideal. They aided the Lions
Club by delivering the Chest X-Rays letters through-
out the village, and the Brownies helped the hospi-
tals at Christmas by making cheerful scrapbooks
for the patients. The Scouts not only learn to aid
their community but in aiming for their badges they
do a great deal of constructive work such as sewing
patchwork quilts. The Scouts also must use their in-
genuity to find ways to raise money to finance their 5
activities. This year the Ardsley Players presented £
the play "John Loves Mary" for the benefit of the _
Girl Scouts organization. Scouting is not all work.
It involves some play, too, such as the Movie Party U
all enjoyed on May 11. However, the whole year's v
activities led up to one night. That night was the an-
nual Court of Awards on May 19 when the diligent 5
work of the deserving Scouts was rewarded.

Ask any eighth grader what is the most important
event connected with this year; without question, his
answer will be—graduation. All the "little girl and
boy" years are over, and we are standing in the
doorway of a new life, high school. Therefore, we
anticipate the great night when we are marching
slowly toward the lighted stage, toward the goal of
eight years of schoolwork. All of us friends will share
together another memorable achievement. Look out,
Ardsley High School! Here we come!

Our study in English literature during the present
year has been a very interesting enterprise. Many
of our future Longfellows and Holmeses brought out
their hidden talents when we succeeded in composing
original poems. To those who ventured in the field of
poetry we extend our congratulations, for some
poems were of an excellent quality.
Many modern and classical books were brought
to life by means of realistic three-dimensional peep
show scenes as well as by short plays depicted by
our classmates, several of whom were chosen to at
tend the annual "New York Times" Book Fair.
Teacher, Miss Florence Egbertson
One of our pleasantest social events this year was
a Halloween party. It was capably planned and
carried out by a special student committee with the
help of our grade mothers, thus making our first
party outside of school a brilliant success.
Some extra privileges we enjoyed this year are:
being allowed to use the high school library, having
Miss Robbie teach us some Spanish, and having
Mr. Horend show us scientific experiments in the
laboratory.
Combining pleasure with our work, we are making
the most of our youthful days.

Shortly before the Christmas holidays, Miss Tryon
asked, "Does anyone have an idea of how we can
review geography in connection with Christmas?"
After discussion, the class decided to cut a Christmas
tree out of green paper. Next, we decorated it with
pictures of gifts and attached gift tags to them. In-
stead of labeling a tag "to Mother from Bill", we
substituted for the name of the giver, the name of
the place where the product was made. Eventually,
we pasted the finished tree on our bulletin
board, where it received many compliments from
other grades.

There was a sound of rushing feet. The fourth
grade children were running to school, for it was
Monday afternoon and they were going to some-
thing special — the American Museum of Natural
History! Because we saw a number of items there
that we had studied about in our classes at school,
we were very excited and happy. After about two
hours of this pleasant kind of education, we were
tired and ready to go home. We hope that when
other classes visit the museum they will see as many
interesting exhibits as we did.

Our most constructive project for the year has
been in making furnishings for our workroom, "our
little red reading room".
Out of orange crates the boys made a settee, a
chair and a bookcase which they then painted red.
The girls, meanwhile, designed some plain cloth and
used it to cover the settee. They also made cushions
for the furniture.
Everyone enjoys sitting in our reading room with
its bright new paint and figured drapes.
Teacher, Mrs. Emily A. Ehler
Members of Grade 3 have worked especially
this year for improvement in oral readng and for
self-control in the use of lips, feet, and hands.
We are proud that we have shown a marked
growth in our reading ability. Most important, day
by day we are learning to do unto others as we
would have them do unto us. This has led to greater
self-control by each of us.

Grade 2F has been placing special emphasis this
year on becoming aware of the world in which we
live and aware of the people around us. To this end
we have taken many trips together. First we had a
"hot-dog" roast at Woodlands just to get acquainted.
To note the effects of the change of seasons, we took
walks in the woods. We saw science slides of ancient
times.
Teacher, Mrs. Ethel J. Farnham
We hope that in addition to the three "R's"
Grade 2 has a better idea of what has gone on
before and of what is now going on about us.

As a small family of nineteen, we have spent
many happy hours together. After a pleasant period
of getting acquainted we organized our Girls' Club
and Boys' Club which have resulted in happy after-
school group activities.
We have done a great deal of work with clay
and finger painting. At Christmas time we had our
first lesson in ceramics and completed some very
interestingly designed dishes for our mothers.
We hope through our activities to bring the school
year to a close happily and successfully.

Realizing the importance of helping others, Grade
IF was the first to get 100% Junior Red Cross mem-
bership.
Then at Christmas we turned our efforts to en-
tertaining the Primary Assembly with a singing play,
"When Santa Comes". All of us took part in the
production in such roles as spinning tops, bouncing
balls, toy soldiers, teddy bears and parts of a toy
train. This play and our masquerade Halloween party
were two of the principal highlights of the year.
Each fine morning at the beginning of the year
we had a half hour of free play because many of us
did not have chances at the swings and merry-go-
round in the morning and at noon. In our Christmas
workshop, we made plywood memo tablets for our
mothers, match boxes for our fathers and decorations
for our room. We especially enjoyed the Halloween
and Christmas parties given by our class mothers.

In the Kindergarten we decided to develop a
mural to decorate our room for the Thanksgiving
season. The boys and girls discussed the project and
after preliminary drawings, through the mediums of
cutting, pasting and artwork, our scene was devel-
oped. Each child did some work on the mural.
Next we decided to have a "Night Before Christ-
mas" scene with snowmen in the garden and old St.
Nick coming over the treetops with his sleigh and
reindeer.
After Christmas our winter mural featured sled-
ding, skiing and other good times in the snow.

To fill our room with Christmas spirit we dreamt
of just what Christmas meant to us. Then in each
of our lockers we proceeded to create scenes of our
homes surrounded by snow mountains and Christmas
trees.
Upon our bookcase we could observe a lovely
scene of the birth of Jesus.
The last and greatest pleasure was to find our
large Christmas tree gayly decorated beside our fire-
place. For several days we enjoyed caroling around
it just before we left for home.

And farewell goes out sighing.

In a valley rich in Mem'ries
By a trail the Indians made,
Ivy-covered walls rise proudly,
From a slope of richest jade.
Sunshine lingers on its beauty,
Loyal hearts pay homage due,
To our own dear Alma Mater
And the Orange and the Blue.
