IN MEMORIAM
Mrs. Frances C. Ferguson
Faithful to Ardsley for twenty-eight years,
Mrs. Ferguson upheld the highest traditions of the
teaching profession and was known as one who
always tried to do more than her share. Her quiet,
unassuming, gentle manner coupled with unusual
strength of character endeared her to all who
knew her. The picture, "A Helping Hand", pre-
sented in memory of Mrs. Ferguson will serve as
an inspiration to all.

DEDICATION
Miss Helen G. Robbie
For your helpfulness and sympa-
thetic understanding, the class of 1953
dedicates this ARDSLEYAN to you, Miss
Robbie. Your spirit of co-operation and
many services along with your inter-
minable patience are examples of the
qualities which we admire in you. Long
after graduation we will reminisce on
the pleasant moments we spent to-
gether.

FOREWORD
Our first job os the Board of Editors of the
1952 ARDSLEYAN was to select a theme for it.
We chose the play, "Life in Ardsley High". The
school was the theater. The school years would be
the acts of the play. Commencement was the final
performance. In order to carry our theme through-
out the book we used appropriate play titles on
the Senior pages and references to dramatics in
many of the other sections.
This year the staff introduced color on the
cover. In order to make the advertisement sec-
tion more pleasing to the eye, we arranged
snapshots on them. The use of individual pictures
of the Varsity basketball team is another novelty
of which we are proud.
A great deal of time and work was spent in
planning this yearbook. Unique photography set-
ups, balanced layout, and the carrying out of our
theme have added to the task.
The staff has learned much by publishing the
ARDSLEYAN. We have mastered the terminology
of the publisher. Also, we learned what, perhaps,
is an important principle of human relations, the
spirit of co-operation that is essential for progress.
Because we feel that this unifying force has
played an important role in successfully complet-
ing our drama of life in Ardsley High, we have
chosen "United we stand: divided we jail” as our
prompter or motto.

TO THE CLASS OF 1952:
Most of your success in life will depend on
your ability to gain the confidence and co-opera-
tion of others, in which the first step is to organize
your own life for success.
Make a Master Plan for your life; then break
it down into immediate goals. Constantly review
these goals; keep the nearest one always before
your mind. Celebrate its attainment; then press
right on to the next. If you fall, pick yourself up
and go on, the same as you learned to skate.
Remember the words of St. Matthew: "Ask, and
it shall be given you; seek, and ye shall find;
knock, and it shall be opened unto you." But note
that these are words of positive action, not of
wishful thinking.
Eliminate detours, road-blocks and conflicts.
Refuse to be detoured by non-essentials or blocked
by conflicts within or without. "To thine oun self
be true!’ If conscience says it's wrong, leave it
alone. For conflicts without, compromise if you
can, battle if you must, but get it over with. Cry
not over spilt milk or what might have been but
devote all energy to your present goal.
And finally, never forget that success is not
for yourself alone. You are working also to justify
the confidence of your family, friends and loved
ones who will glow in the reflected light of your
success.

ACT I
The curtain rose on the first act of our perform-
ance as we entered high school in September of
1948. We were excited and bewildered Freshmen.
However, guided and helped by our adviser, Mr.
Felter, we gradually adjusted ourselves and became
accustomed to this new phase in our education. Our
first attempt at a social activity was a party for the
high school which was very appropriately called
"Frosh Fun Nite". Then, as inexperienced salesmen,
we put forth our best efforts to support the Senior
Subscription Campaign.
ACT II
As Sophomores, we found ourselves the pioneers
of the triple-period classes. As a result of this success-
ful experiment we were enabled to study biology
in its truest sense by spending a week at Croton
Point, under the guidance and supervision of Mr.
and Mrs. Horend. This profitable camping experi-
ence also taught us to work together and to accept
responsibility as it came. With Mr. Kluge's help, we
organized the Sophomore P. X., which sponsored
the sale of candy at home basketball games. To
supplement our Washington Trip Fund, we also held
a food sale in the village square and profited by
nearly fifty dollars.

ACT III
The efforts of our Junior year were directed pri-
marily toward the publication of the yearbook, the
ARDSLEYAN. Through the cooperation of the entire
student body and faculty and the guidance and
assistance of Miss Pelda, we successfully produced
an outstanding ARDSLEYAN with many new features
including a padded hard cover. In the spring, under
Miss Robbie's direction, we sponsored the annual
Senior Prom, with a spring garden as our theme.
ACT IV
The Subscription Campaign was our first project
as Seniors, and the hard-working salesmen were
rewarded by an informal, fun-packed party at the
close of the campaign. In March, we presented the
annual Senior play, "A Date with Judy", directed by
our Senior adviser, Mrs. Koenig. The proceeds from
the production, combined with those of the maga-
zine campaign, were added to our Washington Trip
Fund. Our last performance was graduation, and
thus the final curtain fell on our high school years.

ALL-AROUND FAVORITES
In February the entire student body of
the high school voted to determine the
Senior all-around favorites. As a result,
Dorothy Young and John Cawley were
chosen, not only for their congeniality
but also for their participation and initia-
tive.
DOLORES GARNIER AND ROBERT FINN
DOROTHY YOUNG AND JOHN CAWLEY
FAVORITE SISTER AND BROTHER
The entire high school also voted for
the girl and boy they would want for
sister and brother. Dolores Garnier and
Robert Finn were chosen because of their
friendly manner and pleasing personality
which are characteristic of amenable
brothers and sisters.

The Junior Class participated in various activities
during the year. Much effort and many hours of
diligent work were put into the publication of the
ARDSLEYAN. Movies, sponsored by the class, pro-
vided some extra income to be used toward the
Washington Trip. At Christmas the group was
awarded first prize for their artistic decoration on
the windows of the R. S. A. Corporation. In June,
in honor of the 1952 graduating class, the Juniors
took charge of all arrangements for the annual
Senior Prom.

All through September the prospect of visiting
Biology Comp enlightened the lives of the Sopho-
mores. The week at Croton Point proved both educa-
tional and enjoyable. Getting back into the school
routine, we sponsored a food sale for the benefit of
our Washington Trip Fund. With the winter months
approaching, basketball took the spotlight, and the
class undertook the project of the P. X. as an addi-
tional revenue. During these months our week-ends
were filled with parties, roller skating, and other
activities.

In September we became full-fledged Freshmen
and began getting accustomed to high school life.
Thereafter, we settled down to a year of hard work
interspersed with many activities. In October we
sponsored our first money-making project, a food
sale. Our hay ride in November will always be re-
membered. In order to bring out the true Christmas
spirit, we had a party and then sang Christmas
carols throughout the village. Our movie in March
proved to be an over-all success.

JUNIOR STUDENT COUNCIL
The Junior Student Council consists of the
Presidents of Grades 3, 4, 5, 6, 7 and 8. They
meet at least once a month and consider all
items related to the welfare of the school and
the grade students and organize committees
to execute the decisions reached. Twice a year,
the members go on adventure-education trips
to such places as Fahnestock Park, the Planetar-
ium, or the zoo.
Also, by means of a seed sale, they raise
money to be used for special assemblies. Mr.
Arthur W. Silliman, Principal, is adviser.
THE THIRD DEGREE
Once again the Third Degree undertook the
selling of tee-shirts and sweatshirts to provide
returns for a free movie for First Degree mem-
bers. Included among the group's various un-

problems of putting on a play, such as use of
stage make-up and the principles of stage
production, was interesting and profitable.
Patricia Nardecchia is President; Anne Hues-
gen, Vice-President; and Evelyn Haller, Secre-
tary-Treasurer.
To gain a keener insight into Spanish life
and customs the second year section of the
Spanish Club enjoyed a visit to the Hispanic

CREATIVE WRITERS' CLUB YEARBOOK CLUB
The Freshmen and Sophomores in the Cre-
ative Writers' Club write short stories or essays
and present them at weekly meetings. There
the material is criticized by other members.
Also, they read compositions by high school
students outside of the community and articles
on creative writing that Miss Dorothy M. Pelda,
the adviser, recommends. Marianne Wertheim
is President of the group and Kate Schoenstein,
Secretary.
The Yearbook Club is composed of 24 Soph-
omores who study the terminology and the
fundamental principles of yearbook produc-
tion to enable them to edit the ARDSLEYAN in
their junior year. Under the guidance of Miss
Dorothy M. Pelda, adviser, the members com-
pared yearbooks on the basis of lay-out, pho-
tography, and budget. Volunteers attended
the Columbia Scholastic Press Association Con-
ference. Joseph DeNardo is President and

COMMERCIAL CLUB
JOURNALISM CLUB
The purpose of the Commercial Club, com-
posed of Juniors and Seniors in the business
department, has been both social and educa-
tional. Various enrichment activities were en-
joyed such as field trips to the A. B. Dick Mimeo-
graph Company, the Agricultural Associates,
the Business Show, and the First National Bank
of Ardsley. As always, the annual Commercial
Club picnic highlighted our season. Miss
Cornelia Patteson is adviser.
Every six weeks the Journalism Club pro-
duces the "Salt and Pepper".Our aim has been
for correct and concise news with a light and
humorous touch. We have improved our issues
with the multi-colored ditto process, which has
made possible illustrations and cartoons. Late
in the year, the staff, under the guidance of our
adviser, Mr. Koors, took a trip to one of New
York's leading newspapers.

girls from the seventh and eighth grades. It
meets every Wednesday after school. Through
these extra hours the members have more
time to work on their sewing and also to make
their own school clothes. Mrs. Ruth Howes is
adviser of the group.
JUNIOR RED CROSS
Our Junior Red Cross is carried on in both
our class and our school. During the year, we
have sent cards and gifts to two members ot
our school who were in the hospital. Also if
our classmates are very ill, we remember them
similarly. In the grade classes we collected
enrollment fees and gave out Red Cross but-
tons.

BIOLOGY
The gorgeous weather of the
first week in October added con-
siderably to the enjoyment of this
year's biology encampment at
the County Recreation Campsite
on Croton Point. All the members
of the Sophomore class partici-
pated in the project, combining
on-the-spot biology illustrations
with out-of-door living experi-
ence. They planned and cooked
their own meals in addition to
continuing their school work
through organized study periods.
This type of Outdoor Educa-
tion, pioneered by Ardsley three
years ago, trains for democracy
in group decision and for mental
hygiene in natural surroundings.
Overheard from the Sophomores:
"It was really wonderful!" "I sure
hope we can do it again." "It was
swell!"
EXPLORING THE APPALACHIAN TRAIL WITH THE
CAMP AT CROTON POINT
OUTDOOR CLUB AND THE MOUNTAIN TOP CLUB
Beginning with Grade 5, boys and girls interested in the outdoors are
given opportunities for adventure and education through the Mountain Top
Club in the grades and the Outdoor Club in the high school.
Picture a cabin situated on a wooded hilltop, secluded, primitive, yet
comfortable, like our pioneer great-grandfathers might have known: the
smell of wood smoke from the fireplace, the mellow glow of oil lamps, and
the cozy comfort of the old-fashioned kitchen range. There, members of the
Mountain Top Club may live for a weekend like early settlers; cut their fuel
with ax and bucksaw, get water from a well, trail deer and explore old woods
roads and the site of the grist mill and the hermit's hide-out.
Of particular interest to both clubs is the Appalachian Trail, 2300-mile
wilderness foot path leading from Maine to Georgia over mountain tops and
along scenic ridges. The Mountain Top Club and the Outdoor Club have
enjoyed many hikes along this picturesque trail.
Historic sites such as Valley Forge, Washington's Crossing, and early
colonial remains in our own Westchester County bring an understanding and
appreciation of the effort and sacrifices that have made possible our way
of life. The problems of conservation are illuminated by observation of water
supply lakes and evergreen plantations, of contour plowing versus gullying,
of blister rust control and Dutch elm disease. All groups practice conservation
through carefulness with fire, cutting only dead trees, leaving a clean camp-
site and considering the next camper.

JUNIOR VARSITY
The Ardsley High School Junior Varsity, although with the spirit of Ardsley
in their hearts, had a difficult time getting started this year, but with their coach,
Mr. Frank Kluge, never gave up. They had many close games and, despite their
near-winless record in League competition, have gained valuable experience
towards Varsity play next year. The boys will be out there trying for the Varsity
team when the call comes in November.

SPORTS CLUB
CHEERLEADERS
Members of the Sports Club refereed all Girls'
Athletic Association games this year and spon-
sored a successful playday for junior high stu-
dents from five schools.
The group enjoyed attending an exciting field
hockey game as well as the Hollywood Ice Revue.
Claudia Speicher is President and Annette
Gimbel, Secretary-Treasurer. Miss Roll is the ad-
viser.
Prior to the basketball season this year, the
Cheerleaders sponsored a food sale which en-
abled them to buy new uniforms. To spur the
team on, they created new cheers and perfected
the old ones.
Under the supervision of Miss Hollenbeck,
the adviser, the squad has had a very successful
year. Janet Calace-Mottola is Captain.
GIRLS' ATHLETIC BOARD
The Girls' Athletic Board, advisory
group to the Girls' Athletic Association,
planned the schedule of sports activities
for this year and also checked the point
cards of all G. A. A. participants. The
board is composed of representatives
from G. A. A., from the Sports Club, and
from each of the high school classes. Miss
Roll is the adviser of the group.

RIDING CLUB
Concluding our second year of the
Riding Club, members can look back over
many happy experiences. Mounted on
good horses, they undertook riding on
beautiful trails in all kinds of weather.
In completion of the year the Riding Club
took part in a horse show in which the
Ardsley horsewomen competed against
other schools and made an excellent
showing.

GIRLS' ATHLETIC ASSOCIATION
The main purpose of the Girls' Athletic Asso-
ciation is to provide a chance for girls to partici-
pate in after-school sports activities. At the first
meeting in September the members elected
Dorothy Young, President, and Anne Huesgen,
Secretary.
Volleyball was the first sport of the 1951-52
season and as the teams were almost equal in
ability, the playing was keen. The Seniors tri-
umphed in the interclass competition which fol-
lowed. After a few weeks devoted to soccer, the
basketball season began. In addition to the regu-
lar team competition, there was an interclass
contest which the Juniors won, upsetting the twice
victorious Seniors by two points.
At the end of the basketball season an honor
team was chosen to play three neighboring
schools, Irvington, Dobbs Ferry, and Washington
Irving High School. The competition was close, but
Ardsley finished with three wins.
The girls enjoyed badminton until the weather
was suitable for softball. This was the concluding
sport of the year in which several mixed teams
took part.
BOY SCOUTS
Under the guidance of a new
Scout master, Mr. William Baxter,
the Boy Scouts accomplished a
great deal. During the year they
went on two over-night hikes,
sleeping at the Scout cabin. They
held a father and son dinner at
the Catholic church with an at-
tendance of one hundred.
Barry Coggins earned his Life
Scout award and Reginald Her-
mans his Star Scout.
In April the group organized
and presented a Scout Circus and
in June, an exhibition of scouting
equipment in the Ardsley Square.
CUBS

GIRL SCOUTS
The Girls Scouts are an active
group sponsored by the Lions
Club. Their projects are based on
service to the community and the
development of good citizens for
the future.
To finance their activities, a
Cookie Sale was held which was
fittingly climaxed by the crown-
ing of the Cookie Queens. To
recognize achievement, an an-
nual Court of Awards was held.
A week-end camping trip was
enjoyed at Rock Hill, and an ex-
cursion with a picnic and nature
walk ended the year's activities.

JUNIOR ELEMENTARY CHORUS
The Junior Elementary Chorus is composed of students of the fifth and
sixth grades who are chosen for their cooperation, superior musicianship,
and scholarship. During the year, under the direction of Miss Hollenbeck,
they took part in several assembly programs and entertained at the
Christmas Concert and Spring Festival.
The student officers are Pamela Hutchinson, President, and Diane
Guckenbiehl, Secretary.
BAND
The band has been reorganized again after a three-year period of
inactivity due to scheduling difficulties. The membership consists of students
from the fifth grade through high school and gives every instrumental
student the opportunity for participation.
In the future, perhaps a regular rehearsal time for all may be substi-
tuted for the current ensemble method of preparation.
SENIOR ELEMENTARY CHORUS
Members of the seventh and eighth grades who maintain high scho-
lastic standards and have outstanding musicianship, good singing voices,
a spirit of cooperation, and a satisfactory attitude are eligible to join the
Senior Elementary Chorus. Miss Hollenbeck conducted the group in per-
formances before student assemblies, in the Christmas Concert, and in
the Spring Festival. Chorus officers are John Canning, President, and
Barbara Gardiner, Secretary.
ORCHESTRA
The orchestra, which consists of 24 members, ranging from the fourth
grade to the senior class, has entertained at high school and grade school
assemblies, Parent-Teachers' Association meeting, and the Christmas pro-
gram. During the past year they performed at the eighth grade and senior
graduations. Several of them do solo and ensemble work also. Mr. Vincent
has successfully combined the talents of the elementary and high school
members into a pleasant musical group.
VARSITY CHOIR
The Varsity Choir, under the direction of Mr. Vincent, performed in
school assemblies, at the Christmas Pageant, and in other community pro-
grams. In May they entertained for the Metropolitan Parent-Teachers
Association at the County Center and entered State Competition. In addi-
tion to taking part in the Spring Festival, they sang at the Senior graduation
exercises.
The officers are: Eleanor Slaybaugh, President; Kenneth Cauvet, Vice-
President; Patricia Frischmann, Secretary, and Maureen McHenry, Robe
Mistress.
SENIOR ENSEMBLE
The Senior Ensemble is composed of twelve girls selected for their
outstanding musical ability and cooperation. Several of them have been
members for three years. In 1951-2 the Ensemble performed for the
Parent-Teachers' Association, the Christmas Program, the Spring Festival,
and the Easter Parade besides entering state competition.
Miss Hollenbeck directs the group, and Claudia Speicher is the ac-
companist.

The month of May was a very active one for Grade
8. First, our class visited Valley Forge for one day.
There we viewed famous sites of interest and in addi-
tion had a wonderful time. The second trip we took
during the month of May was a visit to the school
camp at Croton Point. Combining regular assign-
ments with experience in understanding how to co-
operate with each other, we not only received a fine
background in local history but also learned how to
work together as a group.

During October, some of our classmates partici-

tales were related, and songs were sung around the
campfire.
In a November assembly we gave a puppet show
about "Tom Sawyer". Much as we enjoyed it, our
most exciting event was the assembly program we
presented dramatizing Dickens's "A Christmas Carol".
The Hartsdale students, who enjoyed our play, gave
in exchange their presentation of "Ins and Outs". All
in all, we have had a very wonderful year.

Occasionally this year we were able to visit the
laboratory and see in action some of the things that
our science book tells us about. It was fun keeping
a temperature chart in our classroom and noting the
big differences in temperature readings from day to
day.
Many of us took part in our class play which was
adapted to use with marionettes.

that period.
Projects, especially our Hobby Show, provided us
with many entertaining hours. Diligent work made
our play, which we produced for a February assemb-
ly, an over-all success. We also helped celebrate

parents.

During the past year, Grade 5T participated in
many educational activities. Every Tuesday we had
a class meeting where we discussed difficulties and
gave reports. This year we enjoyed a wonderful Hal-
loween party and a Christmas party with a gift ex-
change.
We worked on sandtable scenes portraying the
Pilgrims and their New England colony and also de-
picting the Nativity at Bethlehem. Every week, exhibits
of interest were planned by our museum curator. The
year speeded by quickly, and we enjoyed every min-
ute of it.

The first event of Grade 6SN was our Thanks-

mouth". Although we had to work hard in order to
present the play, it was great fun portraying the
important Pilgrims. At Halloween, we enjoyed a class
party which was given at Merry Baker's house. Christ-
mas was celebrated in the classroom with a wonder-
ful party.
In order to make our work more interesting, we
constructed book covers to correspond with our dif-
ferent subjects and drew maps of various countries.

PRESENTING GRADE 4-E
Members of Grade 4E realized this year
that we not only read for pleasure but also
to find out interesting things that are happen-
ing all about us.
The class tried to be considerate of others
by sending get-well cards to sick classmates,
by contributing to the Dobbs Ferry Hospital,
the March of Dimes, and other drives.
Our trip to the zoo was most exciting, and
we enjoyed our picnic held in June in Wood-
lands Park.

Through working very diligently doing our class-
work, many of the pupils of Grade 3HU earned
Bronze Medals, which entitled them to their member-
ship in the Honor Society. At all of our holiday parties
during the year, we had a grand time.
To bring the year to a contented close, members
of Grade 3HU visited the Bronx Zoo. There we saw
many interesting animals, some of which we studied
about during the year.

Thi> year, after "learning to read" in our first three
years, we have been "reading to learn" and have
discovered many things. We have read about the
people who lived long ago and about their influence
on our living today. Traveling, also, to the four corners
of the earth, we learned why people who inhabit
different climates and environments are as they are.

SPOTLIGHTING GRADE 3-HE
Our major activity this year has been a study of
people from other countries, placing particular emph-
asis on clothing. We have aided our social develop-
ment by learning manners for daily use. Many spell-
ing bees have indelibly printed difficult words in our
minds. Parties on Halloween, Christmas, and Valen-
tine's Day helped us reach a happy medium of both
work and play.

PRESENTING GRADE 2-A
This year in Grade 2A we have completed many
worthwhile projects including ones on health and
safety. Also, we studied quite extensively about the
American Indians — their homes and characteristics.
At Thanksgiving we constructed small scenes which
we were able to take home, while at Christmas we
made a huge "Santa on the Rooftop" mural. Our
largest project was one on the circus which we com-
pleted in the spring. All in all, our year has been a
busy and a happy one for all concerned.

Grade 2F opened the year in September with more
than forty pupils. We decided that even though we
were a large class, we would keep our club program
and take our trips after school. We have had a science
walk, a trip to a museum, a hot-dog roast at Wood-
lands, and a visit to the Bronx Zoo. Once a month
we have a club meeting after school. We have en-
joyed this and have become better acquainted with
each other through our club.

Along with our general work program Grade 1H
had experience in socializing. This came in the form
of holiday parties. For Christmas we painted jars with
enamel and gold for our mothers and made blotter
calendars for our fathers.
Last winter the girls presented a doll show while
the boys brought in a favorite toy or toy pet. But in
order to ease a long day, we had a supervised lunch
period in a less crowded atmosphere, followed by a
rest and play period.

Although this past year in Grade IT has been a
busy one, it was enjoyable as well. Besides the prim-
ary objectives of reading, writing and arithmetic,
much time was spent on extra-curricular activities.
Parties at Halloween, Christmas, Valentine's Day and
Easter encouraged us to achieve better marks. A picnic
and trip to the Bronx Zoo gave us a chance to become
better acquainted and brought our school year to a
happy ending. We are all looking forward to our
work in Grade 2 next year.

PRESENTING THE KINDERGARTEN
During our early days of Kindergarten we enjoyed
getting to know each other. Our days were spent in
playing games, singing new songs, listening to stories,
using simple tools, and learning to read.
We even visited a farm in Hastings and saw many
animals which we had read about. A trip to the Bronx
Zoo acquainted us with animals like birds and ele-
phants. Numbers as well as words began to mean
something to us as we counted stars, candy canes,
and pencils.

We enjoyed Kindergarten and getting to know
each other and our school. We learned many things:
how to work with paints, crayons, and clay, using
them in our room projects; how to sing together and
act out the rhythms of the workers and animals we
knew; how to write our names and how to read,
especially about the adventures of Dick and Jane.
All of us are looking forward to continuing our
work and fun in first grade.
