CLASS SONG
The moments with thee are too short,
The years stretch on before.
The friends, the truths, we'x'e gained here
Shall he ours more and more.
VVith open hearts we stand here
Ou the threshold of life's door,
Awaiting the call to duty,
Which comes from the distant shore,
Remembering thy perfect lesson,
That the purpose of our strife
Is not to live for living.
But to make a noble life.
Oh, the hlue and the white
VVill he our guiding light,
While on life's lane
VVe'll pledge again
Dear E. F. A. so bright.

SENIOR RECEPTION
One of the prettiest social functions of the school year was the Annual
Senior Reception held in the Masonic Hall on November 30, during the
Thanksgiving recess.
The beautifully decorated hall was the scene of great gaity throughout
the evening while the excellent playing of the Lopez Collegians added to the
enjoyment of all. At midnight unique refreshments were served, after which,
dancing was resumed.
Much credit is due Edward Hughes, General Chairman of the affair and
his very capable committee for their brilliant handling of the affair. It was
indeed a financial, as well as a social, success.
SENIOR GET-TOGETHER PARTY
The Get-together Party was the jolliest event of the Senior Year. The
program consisted of an interesting entertainment followed by a reception
and a dance in the gym. During the evening a quartet composed of Florence
Lovell, Gertrude Besemer, Seward Besemer and Ivan Soper, rendered several
songs. Charles Martel very cleverly recited a poem in French dialect. Mil-
dred VVilson gave a vocal selection. The most appreciated number was,
perhaps, a one-act play "Ghosts" by Booth Tarkington. Hiram VVoolf, the
love-smitten hero, played opposite Mary Helen Birchard. judging from
Mary Helens shrieks, we think Hiram certainly can tell ghost stories. Dur-
ing the reception in the gym. the teachers and our fond parents became
acquainted. Later refreshments were served. The success of the party was
due to the committee, headed by Margaret Gardner,
SENIOR ASSEMBLY
The most interesting assembly of the year was the one held on4Wed-
nesday, May 14, in honor of the Senior class. The auditorium had been
beautifully decorated in blue and gold, the class colors, by members of the
junior class. After the under-classmen had entered, the seniors marched in,
making an unusually attractive picture. The honor students were announced
by Mr. Parker and were called to the stage amid the applause of the student
body. The assembly was also featured by the singing of the class song,
written by Florence Lovell.

Dl'0ved to be every bit of that. The committee. consisting of Mary Lon

CLASS HISTORY
.ln the fall of 1920 we came to li. lf. .-X.. a class of the greenest little
freshies that ever entered the building. ln tact, we were so impossible, that
during our whole lfreshman year we never organized at all.
Our second year was much more prosperous, for, with lXlrs. Austin as
Patron Saint, we elected our otlicers early in the year. Led by Henry
'l'urnbull, llresidentg Mary l.ou Hruce, Vice-l'residentg Marion Cowles, Sec-
retary, and John Ryon, 'l'reasurer, we managed to carry out a Sophomore
dance in the gymnasium successfully.
The following year Mrs. .-Xustin again acted as Patron Saint and George
Shafer was elected Presidentg Mary l.ou Hruce, Vice-l"residentg Ruth Quin-
lan, Secretary. and Ill-nry Pettit, Treasurer. The year passed in doing little
iobs for the seniors, such as decorating the stage, and in preparing ourselves
in every way possible lo take their places. Our one great social event was the
lunior party.
This, our last year, began without a wave to ruFHe the calm of o11r con-
tentment. XVith Miss XVood for our Patron Saint, James lXTcl.aughlin for
llresidentg lllargaret Gardner, Vice-l'residentg llnuna lfnsworth, Secretaryg
and Edward loluston, 'l'reasurer, we launched into a busy season. The
Senior Reception, given Nov. 30, in the Masonic Hall. was a great success.
both socially and financially. The tirst disturbance was occasioned by the
delay in the delivery of our rings. llowever, a greater one was before us.
For, in the middle of the year, the Southside l-ligh School was finished. This
took from us a number of our classmates, who were studying commercial
subjects. Miss XVood was transferred there also. At last, however. the
commotion was quieted, and the last part of a busy year was hnished by
the Senior Get-together party, the junior-Senior dance and the Senior ban-
quet and the picnic. :Nt last our tinal days are here, and it is not without many

that Miss Mary Alice Ayres, the

most widely known nurse in the world since Edith Cavell, will speak on her
newly discovered cure for lock-jaw." Qllow appropriate lj If we were all
assembled in the auditorium now, what a rousing cheer we would give for
her!
Along with Miss Ayres in the medical world is another of our friends.
It is not at all surprising that we should now hear that "The world-famed
Dr. Robert Harding" is to speak. But as much as we would like to bore
ourselves by listening to Bob, pardon the frankness, our luck so far drives
us to seek others of our class.
New ways of advertising are continually being brought into use, and
we are proud to say that one of us has found a new system. Miss Irma
Cooper, the New York haberdasher, is advertising by radio. Can't you
imagine Irma tying neckties around the customers' necks?
Whom do we tune in on now but Dr. Floyd Comfort, the newly appoint-
ed head of the School of Agriculture at Elmira College. CYes, they teach
that to girls, now-luckily for Floyd.j They say that he likes his new posi-
tion very much on account of the many wonderful creatures with whom he is
associated. I
'j'ai un chat et un chien." Oh, how familiar that sounds! That is Miss
Isidora Frasier giving a French lesson by radio. fThe impossible does hap-
pen occasionallyj She should be thankful to Miss Goldberg and to Miss
Brooks for accomplishing the terrific task of teaching her French.
"This is station TNT. Our reader, Miss Ruth Ewing, will now tell the
bed-time story for this evening." How perfectly at home Ruth must feel
telling fairy tales over the radio!
It is bed-time, but we can not stop now. We must hear more. Perhaps
more beloved voices are floating through the air. We must not miss them
if they are. What luck! Here is one now.
"Miss Isabelle Locks' fame as an actress is growing every day. More
and more people are going to see her latest production, "The Lost Compact
or What Became of the Three Flowers.' " VVe always knew that something
great was intended for Isabelle.
"Station XTV will now broadcast a dramatization of 'Hard-boiled as
the Walnut Tree,' by Donald Murphy." Donald's knowledge of forestry
has enabled him to write wonderful plays. Indeed, they rival the works of
Zane Grey in the estimation of our English teachers.
We should certainly stop here, did we not hear faintly a shrill and
comical voice. It is John Austin Shipe broadcasting one of his latest come-
dies. Yes, he's still up to that sort of thing.
These strange sounds that we did not understand at first are ring-side
reports from the bout between "Abe" Tatelbaum and "Mayor" Antes. Abe's
ability to locate the basket on the basket-ball court has enabled him to locate
his opponent's jaw in the boxing-ring.
"Sidney sat down beside her. His eyes filled with tears that flowed
from his very soul." How romantic! Sarah Wetmore's latest book, 'The
Romance of the Gold Tooth, or He Bit It In Two," is being read. If the
static were not so bad Cfortunately for usj we would listen longer.
Late? Yes-but I did want to hear from every member of that famous
class of '24. Maybe I'l1 dream of the others.

The year 1923-102-l has been a banner year for Forum. Much of the
SUCCess this year has been due to the very capable ollieers: james lXlcl.augh-
-111. Plesidentg l.eo llardnnan, h"lCC-Pl'CSlflCllllQ .lack Miller, becretarvg
ltdward M. Houston. Treasurerg George ll. .'Xhn. jr., Corresponding Secre-
WW
THVYS and Robert McCarthy, Sergeant-at-:Xrms.
During the year the Forum has had the services of two fine Faculty'
Advisors, Mr. Austin. who began the year but resigned because of additional
W01'li. and Mr. Cook.
ln january. the Agora won the annual inter-club debate on the question
of .'Xmerica's lfntrance into the X'Vorld Court. The Forum was capably rep-
Fesented by Donald Seely. leaderg George Houston, Lawrence XVinkelstein,
and Charles Kromer. alternate. Besides this. there were a number of inter-
elub debates. These were to encourage debating and to promote good fellow-
ship between the clubs.
Members of Forum were on the li. F. .-X. varsity debating team. Thev
Were: Edward llouston, leaderg james lNlcl.aughlin, Perry Shoemaker, and
George Houston, alternate. The E. F. JK.-Bingo debate was won 3 to O by
E. F. A. The fact that these debaters were Forum men speaks highly of the
Forum's training.
After mid-vears the Forum ado ated the "Senate l'lan." The memb rs
, e ..
were divided into Re mublieans and Democrats and sessions were carrier
out
U1 true Congressional fashion. At the end of the year the winning side will
be treated to a banquet by the losers.
The annual dance will be held after Graduation in june. The other
S0Cial affairs of Forum have been very successful. ln .-Xpril the Forum held
El Speaking contest for a silver cup.
This school year has been another in which Forum has played a great
part in the affairs of school. The members who are leaving hope that Forum
will continue to grow in power and importance thru the coming years.

Hl,l.'X11llCZ1lC,U the French Club at li. F. .-X., was organized at the sug-
gestion of Charles Martel, who came over from France four years ago. It
first met on November S. 1023, .X committee was appointed to draw up a
constitution and choose a name.
All second and third year French students are eligible for membership
in l.'.fXmicale. Its purpose is to promote and encourage the study of French
throughout li. F. A. .-Xt each meeting there is a program in French, consist-
Pb
ing ol' a short play or a discussion of topics of interest, French games and
French songs. As far as possible, French is spoken at all the meetings.
L'.fXmicale has not yet made its debut in the social world of F.. F. A.,
but the members are now planning a party which will be given in the near
future.
L'.fXmicale showed its interest in sports by its representation in the
"Bingo Deny" parade. The members rode in a car decorated with French
flags. 4 . .V
One of the features ol the year was the "spread" held in the domestic
science room, Feb. 28. The guests of honor were Miss Youmans and Miss
llerrigan.
L'Amicale now boasts of forty-two members and hopes to have many
more. Although it is one of the youngest societies in li. F. JK., it is very
active and expects to accomplish great things in the future. Miss Goldberg,
who is sponsoring the club, and the entire faculty of the French department
deserve much credit for I,'.'Xmicale's success.

The Girls' Chamber of Commerce is composed of thirty girls from the

commercial department who have attained a class average of 75 Ap. Its pur-
pose is to study the vocational opportunities for the young woman in I:.lmna,
to give its members a broader view of the world's work. to connect the work
. h S .
Of the iublie schools with the life of the community, and to assist t e enior
l
and Junior Chamber in its work of advancing the general welfare of our city.
It also acts as a vocational guidance for the girls. Meetings are held each
Week during the first period.
Many of the dinners at the Federation given by the Senior Chamber
were ably supported by our girls. A committee assisted the Junior Chamber
l to cleaning the streets and replacing
street signs at the intersection of streets. As a result we have the attractive
f I ' r
boxes at various corners in which to place papers, etc.. instead 0 tirowmg

During the school year the club has had several speakers and has visited
many local industries.

THE BINGHAMTON-ELMIRA DEBATE
lly unanimous decision of thc judges, the li. F. A. debating team won
the fourteenth annual debate from Binghamton Central High School in the
Academy auditorium on Feb. 22. This gave eight victories to Elmira and
six to Bingo. ' '
Elmira upheld the negative of the question, "Resolved: That the federal
government should enact laws of compulsory arbitration on all labor disputes
and industries vital to the nation." Although this was a difficult subject both
sides showed they had made a thorough study of it. Elmira was represented
by lfdward llouston, leaderg Perry Shoemaker, James McLaughlin and
George Houston, alternate. Miss Geraldine Quinlan coached the Elmira team and
Donald Bl. Tower coached the Binghamton debaters. The Bingo team stated that
compulsory arbitration is necessaryg it establishes permanent peace in industries
and the courts would function similar to the United States Supreme Court.
The Elmira speakers forewardcd the points that better and more practical
plans are used now, compulsory arbitration is wrong in principle and part-
nership is better than force in industry. In rebuttal Perry Shoemaker and
Edward Houston answered for lilmira while Kendall Roberts and Francis
Mineka spoke for Binghamton.
The judges were Dean ul. Norton Norwood, of Alfred Universityg Pro-
fessor Robert I-lannah, of Cornell University, and Percy L. Meserve, super-
intendent of schools of VVaverly. They complimented both sides and said
that the debate compared favorably with college debates.

of the organization the club was somewhat unstable. lielore mid-years, the
club was served by three presidents, Nathan Slutzkv, Charles Ruggles, and
Paul XYeale, each of xvhom was forced to resign for various reasons.
The club was inactive for a time but was reorganized in April, through
the ellorts of several of the old members. A plan is under xvay lo have a
member of the culb give a solo each week in assembly. Meetings are held
every Monday afternoon in room 37 and once each month a social meeting
is held at the home of some member ot' the club.
'.l'he club is noxv growing in numbers and in strength and gives promise
of being one of the school's most active organizations. The various com-

School was completed, thus taking Dorothy Durrell, and many other talented
young ladies from the club. This was ot' course quite a blow because it
divided the organization to about one halt' its original membership. How-
ever, Barbara Stowe was chosen leader, and m a few weeks the club started
n "drive" for more members and succeeded in enrolling sixty.
The girls practice regularly twice a week. They have sung in assem-
bly several times, always giving enjoyable selections. They also appeared
m public April 27, when they sang at lledding M. E. Church.
The future certainly looks bright for the Girls' Club and the Seniors
wish them the best success ever.

THE BAND
E. F. ,'X.'s hand has added greatly to the zest of football games during
the past year. Much of the good spirits and enthusiasm of the games has
been stirred up hy the hand's playing, On that memorahle trip to Bingham-
ton the hand was an important factor in the day's events. The B. C. H. S.
students and teachers admitted that it far surpassed theirs in excellence.
Few realize the hardships that the hand underwent in their rehearsals.
In the dark, cold days of late autumn, the members of the band might have
been seen plodding the Maple Avenue driving park with their fingers almost
frozen to their instruments.
Much credit is clue to the inenihers of the hand and to Gwynn Bement
for the cheerful way in which they spurred our hoys on to victory.

The 1923 football team of Elmira Free Academy established itself as
one of the hardest fighting teams that ever carried the Blue and XVhite to
victory. Playing a hard schedule, the eleven was a Cfefllt to Itself. to its
Coach, and to its Alma Mater. It was defeated only twice, once by Bingham-
ton Central and once bv Union-lindicott High School, the score being close

BASKETBALL
The 1923-1924 basketball team of the Elmira Free Academy was. with
no exception, the greatest team that has ever donned the court togs of the
School. It gave Elmirans a brand of basketball never before known in the
city.
Going through the Southern Tier League season undefeated, Hirst's
men battled with Elmira Heights l-Iigh and Delhi for the honor of repre-
senting Southern New York State at Syracuse. They were successful. At
Syracuse they defeated Painted Post High, champions of West-Central New
York. ln a thrilling game in which they outplayed Lansingburg l-I. S., the
team felt the pangs of defeat.
The two main reasons for their success are Coach Hirst and a machine-
like, unexcelled teamwork which spelled defeat for their victims. As a result
of their efforts. the Blue and XVhite waves unsulliecl over the greatest court
season Elmira has ever known.

"CHAMPS"
Althou h Elmira Free Academy has had many successful and far-famed
8
basket-ball teams, the 1923-1924 court representatives have the honor of being
the most brilliant, best-balanced and bravest team that Elmira high school
history has ever known.
In the beginning ofthe Southern Tier interscholastic basket-ball season
various sport writers remarked that lilmira had a "chance', in the race for
the cup emblematic of the league championship. But they did not consider
for a moment that the team would go through the season undefeated. 'lhe
E. F. A. lads swept all opposition aside and continued their cyclonic way to
' l f I
the championship. VVithout having their colors once stained in ce eat, t1ey
had to meet the winners of another league. At the Armory on March 17, the
far-famed Elmira Heights High School was compelled to acknowledge de-
feat. In order to compete in the State championship finals which were to be
held at Syracuse University, the wearers of the Blue and White had to meet
Delaware Academy of Delhi at Norwich. XVhen the smoke of this battle had
cleared away, victory still remained. with our boys. At Syracuse, klmira,
' York contended, hrst, with Painted Post High.
representing Southern New
The result was: E. F. A., 265 Painted Post, 18. But even to the best of
teams. defeat comes sometime and defeat, fate disguised under the colors of
Lansingburg I-ligh and handed a 20 to 18 score to the team. As an apprecia-
tion of their good and faithful work during the season, we recommend the
following names to be inscribed in the Basket-Ball Ilall of Fame of the
Elmira Free Academy:
"Art" MacNamara, captain and speedy forward, who put his heart into
the game and always tried his best,
"Big Flip" DeFilippo, Hashy center, whose brilliant floor work spelled
defeat for many a good team,
Leon Baxter, whose eagle eye was responsible for many a winning shotg
"Kid Flip" DeFilippo, next year's captain and choice of critics for
position of guardlon the first team of the All-State Scholastic Five,
"Walt" VVatkins, stellar guard and despair of opposing forwards, whose
close guarding kept E. F. A.'s basket undefiled by an enemy's shots,
"Abe" Tatelbaum, smallest and fastest forward in the League, whose
passwork was responsible for many tries at the basket,
1 "Mike" Brett, capable forward, whose work in the Bingo and Heights
games will long be remembered,
Coach Arthur Hirst, whose genius and guiding spirit was manifested
by the brilliant team he developed.

GIRLS' BASKETBALL, 1923-1924
Our Alma Mater was well represented this year by the girls' basketball
team. Although it was not victorious in every clash, the team exhibited
the linest type of teamwork and sportsmanship tln'onghont the year and thus
may be termed successful.
Only one team succeeded in tronncing our maidens and that fast squad,
representing li. I". .'X.'s old rival. "Bingo," did so twice.
The girls were ably captained by Florence Clemens with Vera Spencer
as playing manager. Margaret I-Baxter. brilliant forward of 1925's team, was
injured early in the season.
There is one very good reason for the line teams which IE. F. A. has
produced in the last few years and that reason is the fine coaching and spirit
of Miss U'Connor, the girls' physical director.
Those who received the coveted "lf" were:
Mary Lon Bruce, 19.3 lXlarjorie Fudge. li.g lXlargaret Baxter, F. fCap't
'25jg Ruth Ewing, lf.g Vera Spencer, CL' flllgr. '23-'Z-U3 Florence Clemens,
G. fCap't '23-2-U3 Ruth Newell, fi. fMgr. '.25jg lrma Cooper, Side Centerg
Florence Vater, .lump Center: Caroline liawdy, -Inmp Center.
Florence Vater
A girl who deserves credit and praise is Florence
Vater, center on the Girls' liasketball Team. Florence
was forced to drop out of the team, because of illness.
and we lost a star player as a result.

TRACK
i-., .
VVith the Sectional championship for 1923 tucked safely away, our track
prospects for this year look extremely bright. Six of last year's point win-
ners are back and around these men are built our hopes for another cham-
pionship. Then, too, the cross-country team of last fall contributes its
quota in the form of four dependable distance runners.
Although track is still in the embryo stage here at lilmira, last year
being our initial attempt at this sport, we invaded Binghamton with a squad
of husky warriors and gave the experienced Bingo team the scare of their
l' ' ' . t re Jlcte with thrills and hair-line decisions. Although defeated,
ives in '1 mee 1
58-46, our boys made a very creditable showing, mexperience costing us
several points. XVe look forward to trimming Bingo on our own new athletic
field in 1925.

CROSS COUNTRY
With but two weeks' training, our cross-country team lost a thrilling
meet to Bingo by a three point margin, the score being 29-26. The hills of
the parlor city were a little too much for our boys who had not trained for
mountains. We took considerable credit to ourselves, however, in the fact
that Dick Killey of Elmira carried off first place in the gruelling run.

The Ford is my auto
I shall not want fanotherj.
It maketh me to lie down beneath it-
It soureth my soul,
It leadeth me in the paths of ridicule I
For its name sake.
Yea, though I ride through the valleys
I'm towed up the hill,
For I fear much evil.
Thy rod and thy engine discomfort me.
I annoint my tires with patches-
My radiator runneth over-
I repair my blow-outs in the presence of
my enemies.
Surely if this thing follows me all the
days of my life,
I shall dwell in the bug-house forever.

lie careful of your grammar.
Don't let nobody find
You ain't been taught how you had ought
To speak xvhat's in your mind.
I never knoxved no person
NVhat wouIdn't find their speech
Improved a lot hy learning what
The grammars has to teach.
Them grammar hooks will learn you
How English should he spoke,
So you xvon't make no had mistake
Like crude uncultured folk.
l'Jon't never talk like they does,
There ain't no reason why
You couldn't he as s111art as me
And learn to talk like I.
