FOREWORD
Our theme this year, "The Spirit of Ardsley High", was chosen
inasmuch as it symbolizes the feeling instilled in the students here, that
ideal of good sportsmanship and cooperation. It is the spirit and friendliness of our school with which visitors are most impressed. Throughout
the book, this spirit is found in activities, high school and grades.
Many new features highlight our 1951 Ardsleyan. Use of informal
individual photographs of the faculty is a comparatively new idea we
hope you will enjoy.
In order to enliven the advertisements and to make them more a
part of the book, we arranged snapshots of students and the faculty
at the bottom of the pages.
A great deal of time was spent in planning unique photography
and in originating unusual shapes and designs for the pictures.
Another achievement of which we are very proud is an additional
eight pages over last year's book. With careful planning and hard
work, these extra pages have been used to further emphasize the
tremendous interest taken by the students in extra-curricular activities.
For the second consecutive year at Ardsley, the staff has succeeded
in publishing a book with a hard cover. We feel this is an unusually fine
accomplishment for such a comparatively small school and village.
The successful completion of the Ardsleyan required that everyone
connected with that project, work together cooperatively and listen with
an open mind to all new thoughts and ideas. With this spirit ever
present, we believe that all who assisted in making this yearbook possible now feel that the aims and ideals of the Board of Editors have
been fulfilled.
2
Your sincerity and friendliness to everyone and your inimit-
able way of enlivening high school life have made you a favorite
personality. For that reason, as well as in recognition of your
greatly appreciated, capable assistance on the yearbook, we
dedicate this 1951 ARDSLEYAN to you, Mr. Clarence Felter.

SENIOR SPOTLIGHT
We, the members of the Class of 1951, from the start of our high school career, have
tried to add to the spirit of the school and sincerely hope that our memory will be preserved
in the hearts of the remaining students and faculty. What we have achieved in the four
years we have spent in high school should contribute to the spirit of good sportsmanship,
perseverance and co-operation that is Ardsley's.
As Freshmen, with Mr. Felter's help, we quickly adjusted ourselves to the daily routine
and soon were taking part in activities and becoming better acquainted with the upper-
classmen. Our first project for the year was a very successful barn dance, complete
with colorful costumes and a caller. Then we loyally supported the Senior Subscription
Campaign and through hard, steady work won the first prize. Recognition was also given
to three students in the class who became members of the Third Degree as Freshmen.
The following year, with Miss Pelda and Mr. Kluge as advisers, we organized the
Sophomore P. X. and sponsored the sale of candy at home basketball games. We also
enjoyed putting on a "Sadie Hawkins Dance" for all four classes and had a hilarious
auction as an added attraction.
The primary project as Juniors consisted in the publication of the yearbook, the
"ARDSLEYAN". Through the efforts of Miss Pelda, our adviser, combined with those of
the staff, the entire student body and the community, the first hard cover in the "ARDS-
LEYAN'S" history was achieved. Our yearbook received a first place in the Columbia
Scholastic Press Association Contest. In the spring, with Miss Robbie's help we sponsored
the annual festive affair, the Senior prom, setting the scene on the deck of a luxury liner,
where young and old danced to the enchanting strains of soft music.
At last, as proud Seniors, it was our year for the Subscription Campaign. With the
cooperation and combined efforts of the entire student body, Ardsley High was awarded
a plaque from the Curtis Publishing Company in recognition of an outstanding record
in money brought in. "Meet Me In St. Louis" was the annual production of the class with
each Senior taking an active part both in front of and behind the scenes. Through the
untiring efforts of our adviser, Mrs. Koenig, the play was a great success, and the proceeds
were added to our ever-increasing Washington Trip Fund.
Special awards were also presented to two outstanding students, Lois Carson who
placed first in the costume designing contest sponsored by the Metropolitan Opera Guild,
and to Fred Ernst who was awarded a scholarship from the Westinghouse Science Contest
for winning second prize, out of 13,000 students, in a nation-wide talent search. Ardsley
has every reason to be proud of both of them.
Graduation was the final step up the stairs of our accomplishments in high school,
and only then did we actually realize that the door of one small part of our lives was
closing, but a new and greater portion was still to come.
Another milestone of life has passed, but in whatever is to come, we will cling to the
spirit that is Ardsley's and take our responsibilities seriously while making the most of all
that is ahead of us.

The Third Degree, the exec-
utive group of the Honor Soci-
ety, undertook the revision
and simplification of the citiz-
enship cards. To Fred Ernst,
who did much of the prelim-
inary planning, goes our ap-
preciation. Desirous of having
the cards printed, the students
sold Tee-shirts in order to fin-
ance this activity.
At the Twenty-eighth Annu-
al Initiation, forty new mem-
bers were inducted.
The Third Degree has been
ably headed by the following
officers: V. Brennan, President,
J. Juillerat, Vice-President, B.
Edelman, Recording Secre-
tary, E. McHenry, Correspond-
ing Secretary, and G. Schap-
pach, Treasurer. Miss Helen
Robbie is adviser.
This year the newly formed Program Production Committee, ably advised by Mr.
Mitchell C. Vincent, Chairman, and Mrs. Elinor B. Koenig, brought forth many hours of
entertainment for the high school people. Its main purpose was the planning of assembly
programs for the entire year. Everyone agrees that its first year's selection of assembly
events was a success.

Adult Driver Education
School Camps
The second Ardsley High
School Biology Comp was
held at Croton Point early in
October. The entire class was
at camp for a whole week.
Biology was the major topic,
but other school subjects were
kept up in study halls. Valu-
able lessons were learned in
the field of group living, re-
sponsibility and cooperative
accomplishment.
Many officials, from the
State Education Department
and various Boards of Educa-
tion, visited this pioneer pro-
ject and are making plans to
expand the activity to other
school systems. Mr. Charles
Horend is adviser.

Bell, Robert Weaver, Alan Walker, Donald Pas-
quini.
This year for the first time a drivers' education
course was installed in Ardsley High. Under the
supervision of Mr. Horend, we learned the sports-
manlike principles of driving and the basic man-
euvers practiced on the road. After successfully
completing the course, the deserving students were
granted drivers' licenses along with the school's
blue card certifying that they had been taught how
to be sound, efficient and courteous motorists.

SPANISH CLUB
Through informative talks and colorful films, the Spanish Club
broadens the students' knowledge of the Spanish language and ac-
quaints the members with the land and customs of Spain, Mexico, and
South America. One activity was a trip through the Hispanic Museum,
followed by lunch in a Mexican restaurant.
The officers of the Senior group are Claudia Speicher, President,
and Gail Kurkela, Secretary. The first year students chose Dominick
Pasquale, President, and Frank Jazzo, Secretary. Miss Helen Robbie

groups, entered into competition and had
members who participated in both county
and state choral organizations.

ORCHESTRA
The orchestra consists of students from
grade five through senior year in high
school. It has finally reached a point of
accomplishment which permits it to accept
invitations for outside performances. Three
members were chosen to represent the
school in the sectional All-State Music
Festival at the County Center and from
this trio, one was chosen to play in the
All-County High School Symphony Or-
chestra which consists of seventy-five
players.

SENIOR ELEMENTARY CHORUS
The Senior Elementary Chorus includes
44 outstanding music students in the
seventh and eighth grades. They are sel-
ected for their ability, cooperation and
dependability.
This chorus has performed under the
direction of Miss Evelyn Hollenbeck at
various programs held at school. They ap-
peared at the State Music Festival at New
Rochelle and received a very favorable re-
port. They also have presented worth-
while programs for the Ardsley Spring
Concert, Armistice Day, Christmas, and
American Education Week programs.
Claudia Speicher is accompanist.

JUNIOR ELEMENTARY CHORUS
Organized in 1948, the Junior Elemen-
tary Chorus comprised of seventy-four
outstanding students of the fifth and sixth
grades has since become an active part
of the Music Department.
Its purpose is to give a background in
choral music to students in these grades to
prepare them for future work in the music
field.
Officers for 1950-51 were President
Margaret Christiano; Secretary Virginia
Duke. Miss Hollenbeck conducts and ac-
companies the group.
SEWING
CLUB
The Sewing Club in-
cludes girls from the sev-
enth and eighth grades, as
well as the high school
classes. They meet at least
once a week, or oftener if
they so desire. The girls en-
joy discussing current styles
and learning new tricks in
sewing. They have had the
pleasure of creating and
making new additions to
their wardrobes. Mrs. Ruth
Howes is the adviser.

knitted squares for an af-
ghan, and assembled nut
cups for the hospitals. Mrs.
Ruth Howes is the adviser.

THE OUTDOOR CLUB
The high school Out-
door Club, founded in
1936, has been relatively
inactive this year. In years
past, it ranged from the
White Mountains to the
Blue Ridge and from the
Adirondacks to the ancient
Indian Mounds of Ohio;
but currently its junior
branch, the Mountain Top
Club, which operates with-
in a more limited radius,
has been especially active.
Principal Arthur W. Silli-
man is adviser for both
groups.

THE MOUNTAIN TOP CLUB
The Mountain Top Club
provides education adven-
tures for interested boys
and girls from Grades 5
through 8. A favorite trip
is to Fahnestock Park, less
than 40 miles away and
yet with an elevation over
1,000 feet and almost a
mountain type climate.
Towering evergreens, a
beaver pond, the remains
of a CCC Camp, a cave
and a ski run add to the
interest. At Fahnestock
Park members are thrilled
to take short trips on the
Appalachian Trail, extend-
ing from Maine to Georgia
over mountains and ridges,
the longest footpath in the
world, comparable to the
ancient caravan routes. On
adventure education trips
the young people explore
relics of the colonial iron
industry, visit a colonial
grist mill still in operation,
and climb Mount Riga, even
spending three days on
Mount Greylock.

BOY SCOUTS
CUBS
Ardsley Scout Troop No. 3 and Cub Scout Pack No. 3 are sponsored by the Ardsley
Post, American Legion. The local troop has received charters from the National Council,
Boy Scouts of America, for 30 consecutive years. Three decades of continuous Scouting
is an achievement of which our community may boast, for few local Scouting organizations
have a comparable record of continuous service to its boys.
The Troop and Pack meet in our school building, but many of the activities occur at
Camp Woebuck, a wooded spot in the outskirts of our town on which is located a cabin
donated by the Lions Club.
32
GIRL SCOUTS
BROWNIES
The 125 Ardsley Girl Scouts attending the Court of Awards received 253 proficiency
badges. Their fund-raising project, a cookie sale, was a grand success with 3,708 boxes
sold. Mrs. Robert Morris, chairman of the Ardsley Girl Scouts Association, announced plans
which included sending school kit bags to European children, enjoying a weekend camp-
ing trip, joining in a father-daughter dinner, with a day's outing plus a bus trip for all
Scouts.

Every girl's highest aim is to become a member of the Sports Club, the highest
girls' sports organization. Its members referree all G.A.A. games.
Our first project was a cartoon movie which netted enough for each member
to purchase a green and white sweater. Early in December we went to the Ice Vogues
and in February, roller skating.
Thanks to the assistance of Miss Grace Roll, our adviser, the Sports Club has
had a very successful year. Joan Koster is President and Joan Garnier, Secretary.
GIRLS1 ATHLETIC ASSOCIATION
The purpose of the Girls' Athletic Association is
to give every high school girl an opportunity to par-
ticipate in team and individual sports. Each girl is
eligible to make honor teams and to compete against
other schools in sports programs. During the school
year, volleyball, soccer, basketball, badminton, and
softball are played. At the end of the year, a picnic
is held when awards are presented to the girls who
have fulfilled the requirements. The girls appreciate
the time and effort given by Miss Grace A. Roll.

riding every Wednesday af-

we went through the extensive
trails of Rockefeller's estate,
but when winter arrived, we
were confined to the inside
ring. There we learned the
techniques of ring riding, in
preparation for the spring
horse show in which we com-
peted against other schools.

JUNIOR VARSITY BASKETBALL
The Junior Varsity team,
coached by Mr. Frank Kluge,
once again developed into an
outstanding junior quintet. In
mid-season, star forward,
Frank Jazzo, was moved to
the Varsity. Despite this, the
team's league record was 6
victories and 4 defeats; they
finished in third place. Con-
stant drill and practice with
experience in games has de-
veloped many boys in their
group for a Varsity berth next
year.

"Cheer for the team" has been the motto of eight
spirited girls who were chosen to represent Ardsley's
cheerleading squad early in October. Following many
vigorous weeks of practice, under the guidance of
Miss Evelyn Hollenbeck, the squad helped to usher
in the 1950-51 basketball season. The appearance of
the squad at the All-Star game and the county tour-
nament climaxed this truly exciting season.

Our major projects this year have been a unit on Indians
and another on Holland. While doing this work, we tried
to correlate our other subject matter and thus make it all
more meaningful and enjoyable.

In the beginning of our first year in school, we spent
most of our day playing, getting used to school routine. Later,
we learned many craft skills, and we made all our own
party baskets, place mats, and room decorations. By doing
these things, we learned to count, to compare sizes, and to
recognize a few words.

Mrs. Leon Theill

Starting in February, we began to prepare for reading.
By the end of the school year we had learned to recognize
twenty words and had a good understanding of the reading
processes. Parties for all holidays, field trips, a visit to the
Bronx Zoo, and our picnic at Woodlands were some of the
highlights of our year.

or win.
Play the game, the world needs courage
Like a sportsman, lose
Play the game, there is no failure
While that spirit glows within.
We can’t all play a winning game—
Someone is sure to lose;
Yet we can play, so that our name
No one may dare accuse.
That when the Master Referee
Scores against our name—
It won't be whether we've won or lost,
But how we’ve played the game.
