ENGLISH DEPARTMENT The only change in the English Department this year has been the installation of new books. They are HPr0se and Poetryf, four volumes that contain all the literature used in class work. Whether or not they will be used another year is undecided. for the English Department expects a radical change in the State syllabus that will call for a broader study of classic literature. Special emphasis has been placed on the technical work this - year. For years the faculty has had many special clinics and it is with regret that they have not been able to give them this year. Such a change was occasioned by the transfer of several teachers to the Diven School. Although the English Department has not been in charge of a special assembly, the students wH0 demonstrated the work of the other departments were chosen for their proficiency in English. Since weekly oral work has been required, the development in the average student's ability to ei-Lpress himself and assimilate the essen- tials has been frequently noted in other classes. Special project work has been enjoyed by the students. One - A of the accom lishments, which has been on dis ala f in Room l4, is p . . . l l M.

SCIENCE AND ART DEPARTMENTS Science classes are filled to overflowing this year. indicating that there is a marked increase in the number of students who wish tm learn something of the forces that surround us and of which we are made. Chemistry classes are especially popular. making it difficult to work in the laboratory. Those of us who are mechanically inclined are rounding into shape under the guidance of Miss Youmans, while the future artists and designers of the school are being trained successfully by Miss Sekol. Both branches ofthe Art Department are overcrowded, but the teachers are accomplishing Wonders under adverse conditions. The Art Department has been of special value to the Torch staff. The Home Economics Department offers a course which may n W he elected by any girl enrolled in the Academy. T The aims of this course are: first. to arouse in the individual girl an understanding of the importance of developing a greater appreciation of the mental. social, and spiritual sides of home and community lifeg second, to help the girl develop skill in manipu- lative processes, in reasoning, in judging. and in creating. which will aid her in adjusting herself to everyday living. This course is composed of seven units ol' study: l. Nutrition, meal preparation and sewing. 2. Selection, construction. and care of clothing. 3. Family relationships. 4. Selection and decoration of the home. 5. Household administration. ' 6. Child care and training. Dittoiv A. CAM 7. Home hygiene and home care of the sick. Science Dept. l932' s 13 TORCH Mrs. Mary H.

MATHEMATICS DEPARTMENT The Mathematics Department has held to a rather conservative course this past year. There have been few changes in its curriculum. However, simple trigonometry, dealing with the measurement of right triangles, has been taught in solid geometry and algebra classes. The object of this is to spread trigonometry, so that students not studying it may know something of its functions. There is no contemplation of abolishing the regular class in trigo- nometry. The major alteration in mathematics has been in the first year course. Starting in January, 1932, Freshmen students have been able to take a year of ulntroduetion to Business" in place of ele- mentary algebra. This teaches the rudiments of business, and is designed to prepare students for later business courses. During the past few years the mathematics department has undergone a gradual modification in the form of its examination questions. These have tended to become less complicated and me- chanical, demanding deeper thought and reasoning. ln this manner the mathematics department has "kept up with the times" in methods of teaching.

Esther A. McGowan, A.B. Helen Schermerhorn Mary C. Mitchell, Secretary HISTORY AND COMMERCIAL DEPARTMENTS This staff of teachers is responsible for the excellent rating' given to Academy history students. Their subjects include ancient, modern, and American history. A thorough study of these subjects is most essential to every high school student. The department has tried several interesting experiments to make the subjects more appealing. ln ancient history classes, the pupils make soap models , 7 of the prominent figures and noted architecture of famous times. This proves interesting as well as educational. On Armistice Day, the history group was in charge of a pa- triotic assembly, memorable for its speeches and recitations. The Commercial Department offers two years work, at the com- letion of which students desiring to continue transfer to the South- ? . . . .ff . . side. The subjects given include economic geography, commercial arithmetic, textiles, advertising, salesmanship, and business writing. Few schools offer textiles and advertising. On account of the great demand for business writing, Mr. Thaddeus Emblen, director of I I - W n n u s writing ln the Elmlra school system, 1s personally conductlng a class in enmanshi . In Januar . a new course. Hlntroduction to Rusi- , i P P , . Y . nessf, was added. This subject gives a general background for the whole commercial course. REM' HOCKWEU' History Dept.

The rise in the number of Vergil students this year has been conspicuous. In November, an essembly was staged by the department. A Latin A song, a pageant, several recitations, and a Vergil play carried the day. French, too, becomes increasingly pop- ular at the Academy. Second and third year conversational classes have been inaugurated this year. This department, not to be outdone by the Latin, made itself responsible for an assembly, in which the students showed their proficiency in the language and literature by songs, a minuet, and an amusing French comedy.

Again Commencement casts its shadow upon us, and I am sure your feelings, as well as mine, are of mingled joy and regret. Isay this in all sincerity. The opportunity of further pursuing our education in college holds much anticipation for many of us, the opportunity of business attracts others of usg and the uniqueness of the present financial era perplexes still others and leaves us in a quandary as to just what our future offers. Each course holds forth promise, growth, and a fuller life. Whatever our lot in the future, I feel safe to say we all are touched with sadness at the thought of leaving the Academy. Well may we as a class call the Academy our foster mother, for it is she who has guided and directed and developed us these last four years. To her, we have incurred a life-long debt. Opportuni- ties for democratic government, scholarship, athletics, and extra curricular activities have all been accorded each of us. No one has been denied an equal opportunity to excel. Individual initiative, ambition, and perseverance have never failed to receive encouragement and reward. Examples of justice, fairness, patience, and benevolence have been brought clearly home to us in the life and conduct of our Principal, F. R. Parker, as well as in our faculty. These impressions and lessons, like the friendships we have made here, will be ever a part of us, long after our knowledge of particular subjects has left us. Is it any wonder, then, that there is a tinge of sadness in our hearts at leaving behind these inestimable joys? Yet we must go on, for we must see life through and see it whole. Therefore, we relinquish our place to another class, not to end but to begin a fuller and more mature life. In parting then, may I hope that we, as a class, will be ever loyal to our Alma Mater, and all that she and her principal and her faculty have taught us. May we so continue that our lives and our achievements may ever reflect honor, gratitude, and appreciation upon Elmira Free Academy.

Now their horizons have broadened and they begin to take an interest in school affairs. The Junior Class began its career three years ago when it was represented on the Stu- dent Council by three freshmen. Last year, as Sophomores, they were favored by one seat in that body, and this year, by four. However the class did not feel its unity until it elected ollicers last fall. They are: Richard Seem, President, Alice Booth, Vice-President, Anne Coleman, Secretary, and George Gregory, Treasurer. Class jewelry was ordered early in December. Both pins and rings have the same de- sign, an oncoming ship bearing the letters E. F. A. on its sails. The background is a blue stone representing the school colors. The Junior basketball team was victorious, under Captains Joseph Christastie and James DeNunzio. It won all' six games played against Seniors and underclassmen. At present the Class of '33 is looking forward to its day of days, Junior Day, at the end of which will be held the Junior Promenade. I932 4:-1 TO H W X THE JUNIOR CLASS The Committees for Junior Class are: RING COMMITTEE PROM COMMITTEE Joseph Cleary, Chairman Robert Snyder, Chairman William Burke John Delany lrving Sarner Roger McGrath Fay Mitchell Rodman Romayne Mary Cleveland Virginia Van Rensselaer Sarah Gold Jeanette Weale Anne Coleman 44- I932 2 I I I TORCH THE SOPHOMORE CLASS The Sophomore and Freshman Classes at the Academy are not organized and do not participate in activities as groups. However, individuals may join the clubs. Some socie- ties require the new members to be second year students. The two hundred Freshmen that entered E. F. A. at the close of January could not be seated in the crowded Academy building. The new George M. Diven School received them with a group of our teachers.

During the second semester, the Council gave several after-school dances in the gym- nasium. The ten cent entertainments have been well received by the depression affected students. lnterclass Athletics were supervised for the Hrst time by the governing board. The work consisted chiefly of providing eligibility rules and lists, and in purchasing equipment. The most prominent social event of the year, sponsored by this group, was the Annual Spring Carnival held in the school halls, May l3tl1, in conjunction with the Senior Class. Each school organization participated. Much of the credit for its success is due to John Delaney and his committee, who were responsible for the unique arrangements. l932 49 TORCH A George Tuttle William Bottcher Ruth Park Mrs. Deuel Olive Hetrick Dorothy Slocum Roselyn Dudley Herrick Chapman Helene Mathews Florence Wougliter Paul Henstridgre Katharine Eaton Joseph Lynch Roger Brenner Harry 0'Donnell Gretchen Christian Editor-in-Chief HARRY O'D0NNEL1.

A few weeks after school opened in September, thirty new members were admitted. During the first semester, the weekly meetings were devoted to a variety of interesting programs in which unusual ability was displayed by the girls. A novel spread, at which the members obtained their food by reciting tongue-twisters, ended the first term. The second half of the year was given over to a series of debates on topics of vital interest to high school students of today.

CoNNoR The Clee Club began its regular bi-weekly meetings the second week of school, when new members were admitted. One of the first public appearances was at the Southside High School during the Christmas Season, when parts of the Academy and Southside Glee Clubs furnished the chorus for an interesting Christmas Play. A few nights later the girls went caroling. On February 23rd, the Parent-Teachers Association of Riverside School was entertained. The girls have been asked to sing for the Rotary and other organizations. Plans are being made for a picnic to be held soon. In May the Glee Club will hold its Annual Spring Concert at which time a joint pro- gram with the Elmira High Schools Orchestra and Band will be presented. l932 57 TORCH ORCHESTRA Under the capable leadership of Mr. George .l. Abbott, the Elmira Free Academy Orchestra, made up of only especially talented students, has enjoyed another successful year. Besides rendering selections at the weekly assemblies, the orchestra played at the Masquers' play, flonesyf, and at the drama, MLittle Women,', produced by the senior class. At the annual Spring concert held at the Southside High School, our orchestra also participated. The Orchestra has further ambitions. As members of a junior symphony, the indi- vidual players are afforded the opportunity of practice in orchestration. Earnest coopera- tion between the players and Mr. Abbott, has built up one of the best high school orches- tras in the Southern Tier. So worth-while is the work accomplished by the members of the unit. that they are granted Regent's credit by the State.

At the Onondaga Valley one, the Blue and White musicians played a ceremonial in honor of NDoc. Anderson." At Binghamton, under the capable direction of Jack Schweppe. whose unfortunate death aroused the deep sympathy of his fel- low classmates, the Band executed a new formation of the letter MET' amid cheers from a large contingent of ardent supporters. ln December, the Band performed creditably at a concert sponsored by the senior class. Under the baton of Mr. Vllilliam Biery, the boys played c'Tramp, tramp, trampf, arranged for baritone solo, the solo being played by Floyd Sweet. The blue-coated boys were present at all the basketball games played at home this year, playing such lively marches as Wfhe Boosterv and H011 Wlisconsinf' We are sorry that no band contests were held this year as in 1928, for our fine organi- zation would have acquitted itself admirably in any competitive concert. i932 Flute Piccolo Howland Harland H- Tlpton Saxophone Clarinet 2513261 Mathews ar Pritchard Schneck Romayne Oboe Fischman Whitaker Doolittle B Stevens ussoon Ball Taffy Hunt Percussion Pierce Jaynes Walker Held R.

Although a far cry from the meaty years of 1928- 29, those days of state renown, the Elmira High Schools, football team of 1931 compiled a record equal to any of the Southern Tier. Elmira won five games and lost three for a .625 average, which, in the language of percentage points, was a 292 point increase over the 1930 figures. The Blue and Wfhite grid- men rolled up a 192 point game total while their foemen could muster but -L8 scores. Head coach, Arthur Hirst, mobilized the Blue forces on the opening day of school. Some three score huskies responded to the call. The squad was divided into three camps with Coach Hirst and Leo Bolley of the 1922 state champions bossing the first squad. Coach Bob Fox generaled the reserves and Emory Donelson, Academy teacher, the Jayvees. Seven staid and tried veterans were available. Knapp, Ogrodowski, Punzo, Allen, Easton, Besley, and Graham constituted this contingent. Although training operations were considerably hampered by torrid weather, when Saturday, October 3, neared, Coach Hirst was once more ready to chance gridiron competition with a highly pleasing outfit. On Saturday, October 3, the Blue eleven took the field against Oneonta on the local gridiron. The Orange invasion was repelled in its infancy as the Hirst team triumphed 33-0. The Elmira line was impregnable and the offensive bolts, precise and sudden, could not be checked. Ogrodowski and Knapp loosed several spectacular runs and in the triumph could be envisioned the Hirst juggernauts of 1928-29. Eastwood High School of Syracuse fell by the way for the third consecutive year under the blow of a Blue shutout club . The Saline city's troops were snuffed out 37-0. Spirit in the team ran high as it was primed for its initial great test with Ithaca. The Ithaca triumph of 1930, the first over Elmira since 1923, was to be avenged. ln a battle of gargantuans at the local field, in which the Hirst team outplayed the college towners in every department of play, the lthacans secured a lean 7-6 victory by a queer quirk. The locals tallied early in the Hrst quarter after smashing down Bed and C-old barriers com- pletely. The placement for the extra-counter was true but another kick was ordered as result of an off-sides. This failed but another off-sides presented another try, which went wide of its mark. On those two off-sides rested the Red and Gold triumph. The succeeding Saturday found a morale-weakened Blue team bowing to a weak Auburn eleven 12-0, although Auburn had been bested 32-0 the preceding year. Then Coach Arthur Hirst and his entire squad made ready to storm Binghamton for the twenty-eighth annual encounter between the traditional rivals on October 31. Ample prepar- ation and drilling put the Elmira team in the line mettle it had enjoyed against Ithaca. Although Charles Allen, injured guard, was lost to the team for the season, the Blue warriers entered the Bingo fray strong. The able Bingo machine was played to a standstill by the locals and only in the closing moments did the tide turn in the dark Blue favor. The Schuster team then pushed over the winning touchdown for a 14--6 verdict. Solace for the Bingo and Ithaca decisions was afforded by the complete annihilation of both Onondaga Valley School of Syracuse and Canton. The upstaters were driven off with a 32-0 win, while Canton was ground up 58-0. In a tilt resplendent with glamour and amazing fand some not so amazingj versatility by the veterans, the varsity harnessed an alumni aggregation by 20-15. Many of Elmira's football immortals, -- Bill Habeck, Bus Horrigan, Ed Sweeney, and Al Frederick, played beautiful games. After the alumni clash, the lettermen chose Max Easton, lineman, to succeed Dan Pun- zo and Louie Knapp as Elmira captain. I932 69 TORCH Frasier Piper Robinson Hirst Farrington E. H.S E. H.S E.

The Schuster dynasty of three years, standing retained its championship rights but only after precarious tottering when the Elmira claimants, and one-time cham- pions, made a gallant bid for the League title. For the third time in as many consecutive years, a potential coup of the light Blue fell a mite short and the 1931-32 conference crown was won by Binghamton. The Elmira High Schools' team won ten and lost four games, to finish in the League runner-up position. The Conference officials scrapped the League division split of 1930-31, and substituted in its stead the plan of other years-a split season but no split in the personnel. Elmira Heights withdrew from the conference in favor of Counties League competition, leaving seven teams on the field. Elmira, Norwich, and Binghamton tied for the first round title. To avoid time-taking play-offs, the officials proclaimed the race a straight-season one. Elmira and Binghamton drew to the fore and the beam of potential championship was focused on the final night of competition. The ancient rivals were not paired, however. Binghamton was scheduled for a bye while Arthur Hirst's cagemen were pitted against Union-Endicott. An Elmira triumph would have enabled the locals to draw up on even terms with the Parlor City quintet, thus creating a tie, followed by a play-off to determine the league kings. The Union-Endicott courtmen, early season victims of the Blue, turned about and on their home floor halted the Hirstmen 33-24-, blasting Elmirais title aspirations. Sectional competition was declined by Binghamton, as the dark Blue athletic policies frown on it. Elmira, as runner-up, was offered the chance to meet the Counties League win- ner for district supremacy. The local team refused to compete as a second place outfit, so Ithaca was nominated by the Conference. Ithaca likewise refused but Cortland, which fin- ished in fourth place, accepted the invitation. The upstaters bowed to Johnson City in the play-off. Johnson City reached the semi-final for the state championship at Syracuse. Coach Hirst had but two veterans around whom to mold the 1931-32 team. After much experimenting, during which time the opening contest was lost to Cortland 16-9, he per- fected a team around Ogrodowski and Vecellio, tl1e veterans. Graham and Sebring, ably performed with the stand-byes, being supplemented on numerous occasions by Spaulding, Edmunds, Hurst, and Habersaat. After the Cortland rebuff in the season-opener, the Elrnirans downed Oneonta 22-10. A three-year Binghamton enchantment was snapped as the Hirstmen snatched a 25-24 split, last second victory from the Schuster five. The Heights fell by the way 27-4 in a non-league fray. A surprise 23-19 victory by Norwich, thought insignificant at the time, probably cost the locals the first round title. lt created a triple deadlock that lead to the abolishment of the split season. Ithaca and Union-Endicott were defeated in quick order to end the first round. Binghamton avenged its first round defeat and checked the local drive for a second round lead by a single basket margin, 20-18, win. Cortland and Oneonta were stopped before the Bingo repulse. Norwich, first round conqueror of the Blue, was bested 37-20 on the South- side court. Norwich failed to win a single contest in second round although a first round contender. The Heights was once more massacred, by 41-14 figures this time. A 31-22 win over Ithaca's Bed and Gold quintet was the Blueis last victory of the race. The following week-end in the crucial season-finale, the Hirstmen were eliminated from the possibilities of a championship tie with Bingo, by dropping a 33-24 decision to Endicott. The Elmira team chalked up a grand total of 359 counters while enemy cage-hunters' quests netted their 265 points against the Blue. Brusie Ogrodowski, sage of four years, var- sity service, topped the Conference scorers by a sizeable margin. The diminutive forward agglomerated 122 points in league games. Edgar Sebring, guard of one season,s fire, was elected to captain the 1932-33 team and to succeed his fellow-guard, Captain Julius Vecellio.

Waver- ly won the duel match for the second consecutive year. At Cortland, Elmira gained third place. The locals finished second in the sectional meet at the home Held.

Although unorganized during Freshman and Sophomore years, they did have each year a representative in the Interclass Basketball League, and in their Sophomore year, Edwina Butler and Richard Shoemaker represented the class in the Student Council. The Junior basketball team won the interclass championship, each member being awarded a gold charm. The ring and pin committee with Mary Splann, chairman, chose a torch as the feature of the design for class jewelry. May eighth was observed as Junior Day. A special assembly with Harry 07Donnell presiding, presented a one-act play, HThe Pot Boiler," delightfully inter- preted by a well trained cast coached by Mr. Colgan. The crowning touch to the day's activi- ties was the annual Prom, held at the Country Club. ln October, 1931, the class named Julius Vecellio, president, Edwina Butler, vice- president, Ruth French, secretary, Forrest Reynolds, treasurer. Mary Splann and David Horwitz were appointed as the ring and pin committee. The biggest social event of the year, the Senior Ball, which took place April 22nd at Rorick's Glen, owed its success primarily to Richard Shoemaker, chairman, and to his able committee. On May sixth, the Seniors presented their annual play, 'LLittle Women." Mr. Colgan. director, and the cast, are to be congratulated. On May 13th, the Senior Class, with the Student Council, sponsored the annual '6Spring Carnival." Participated in by all classes and school organizations, this event proved a great success. Perhaps the greatest thrill will come on May 18th, Senior Day. It is then that honors are announced, then that white dresses and blue ties find their way across the stage, then that hearts beat high, and voices catch, then that seniors autograph hundreds of blue vol- umes. The Senior Reception lies still further ahead but it is looked forward to with anticipation. Commencement comes last and with it the closing of their careers in the Academy. Then the seniors part, each to explore new and different trails, but all with an appreciation of what their Alma Mater has done for them. l932 HH TORCH CLASS WILL To WHOM IT MAY CoNcERN:- We, the Class of 1932 of the Elmira Free Academy, being of supposed sound mind and memory, do hereby publish our last will and testament.

If Mother is cook at your home, tell Dad he ought to give her a treat now and then by taking her out for a good meal. Let her forget cooking and dish- Ivashing once in a while. She'll appreciate it. Of course it makes a big differ- ence where he takes her. Natur- ally she will want to go where the food and service are excellent, the surroundings attractive, prices reasonable, and where discriminat- ing people like to be seen.
