PARKER FOR three and one-half years the ship of '37 was guided and piloted through both calm waters and stormy seas by that loving, faith' ful captain, Mr. Parker. Each member ofthe crew had the privilege of seeking advice from this kind captain. His decisions, which were wise and just, were always respected. I-le was an inspiration to all, because of his fine intellectual ability his liberal ideas and opinions, and his sympathetic understanding of the problems of young people. DR. ALBERT H. HELMKAMP WE welcome Doctor I-lelmkamp as the new principal of the Elmira Free Academy. l-le has already proved that he can competently fill the position which Mr. Parker held for so many years. It is a difficult task which faces him but We are confident that, with the ability he has shown from the beginning, he will overcome all obstacles. I-le has shown his interest in and fairness toward all students and his unfailing efforts in their behalf have already endeared him to their hearts. We wish for him much success as principal of the Academy. DILLON A. CADY VicefPrincipal WE wish to express our gratitude to Mr. Dillon Cady for the interest which be has shown in the students during and since Mr. Parker's absence. His patience and will- ing cooperation will always be remembered and appreciated by the pupils of E. F. A. HARVEY O. HUTCI-IINSON Superintendent of Schools Gaul YD: adm!-an! f I r X 042, 7 l.BLlZT B.

Of course we shall all remember the wonderful good times we have had in connection with this school, and I don't believe there is one of the class of ,37 that does not feel deep regret leaving, although we are looking forward to the things we are going to do and the good times we are going to have after graduating. Surely you will all back me up when I Pass on a word of thanks and appreciation to the faculty who have proved themselves real friends, always ready to talce a Iew niinutes to help any of us with our problems, in spite of the hardships brought upon them by the overcrowded condition of the school. I hate to think of the memories that the teachers will I-ave of some of us, myself included, but we will have to agree that all of our classes would have been less of a problem and therefore much more Profitable and enjoyable if we had realized the full importance of what Charles Steiuiuetz was talking about when he said, k'Cooperation is DOI a sentimentg it is an economic necessity." This seems to be one of our trustiest weapons in the hunt for that most elusive and most sought after of all quarries, success. Yours for lots of it, Ro1s151zT Tnoxms I7 CLASS HISTORY WE, THE CLASS OF 1937, are nearing the completion of four of the most exciting and eventful years of our life. It has been a period of mental growth for each one of us and the ultimate goal has, of course, been graduation, the most thrilling climax of all. The first stage of our journey was rather uneventful, since we failed even to elect class officers. Nevertheless, we became well acquainted with our surroundings and the tradi- tions of E. F. A. which prepared us for the future. In our Sophomore year, we elected Robert It-rome president, Mary Clarke vice- president, Margaret Hardy secretary, and Robert Thomas treasurer. As sophomores, we successfully celebrated a class day and gave an assembly. On the third lap of our journey, we chose Robert Thomas president, assisted by Elizabeth Baker, Frances Day and Robert Iszard. Gay red and white ribbons were con- spicuous on Iunior Day, which seemed to mark the beginning of real prominence for our class. The Inuiors collaborated with the Seniors to have a socially successful prom. Upon our return as Seniors in September, Robert Thomas was again elected president, together with klargaret Hardy vice-president, Iune Steen secretary, and Vinton Stevens treasurer. On May fourteenth, the Senior Play, 'LBig-Hearted Herbert," was presented under the able direction of Mr. Iohn Colgan. It was most amusing and met with huge success. The Senior Prom was not held this year, so the Senior Reception remains the sole social event on our calendar. However, Senior Day made some retribution for this disappointment, and the long awaited commencement is yet to come. Soon the members of the Class of ,37 will be making their individual marks in this world, backed by their friends and educators, the faculty of E. F. A. May they have success. 18 PI-IYLLIS ALLEN "Phil" NO. II MATRIIXIONY "The blue of her eyes Doth match the sleiesf, Cheer leader 3, 4.

Later on, the class elected its ofHcers for the year. Freshmen activities, however, were somewhat restricted owing to their youth and inexperience, particularly in athletics. Never- theless, they showed Promise for the future not only al ng educational lines but also in their interclass workouts.

The Council sponsored the Hrst school social event of the term, the fall carnival, at which a witch and a wizard were chosen to reign over the festivities. ln collaboration with The Vindex, the Council arranged the E.

ANOTHER CHAMPION TEAM WITH A SEASON as impressive as the last one, the Elmira High Schools! football team again won all their games and gained distinction of being one of the major undefeated teams in New York State. It is generally conceded that the Utica team was the hardest to beat, but the majority of the fans will recall the Ithaca game asdthe most exciting. Great things were expected of the 1936 team. There was a good reason for the expectations, for twelve letter men returned from the fine team of the year before. With this group as a nucleus, Coach Hirst molded a combination which, in all respects, lived up to the standard set by the team of the previous year. The Blue and White started with a bang. On the third of October the strong East- wood team of Syracuse came to the Harper Street field. The Syracusans returned to that city a sadder, but wiser group, on the short end of a 19-7 score. The following Saturday the team, together with a large group of local fans, made the journey to Auburn. This game was of great importance to the upstate city, since it was the Hrst game played in their new stadium. The warriors of E. H. S. were very inconsiderate, taking a good, but inexperienced, Auburn team by a score of 20-o. October seventeenth was the first time that the Blue and White followers were worried about the outcome of a game. But the powerful Utica team came, saw, and was conquered. The score being E, H. S. 20, Utica I2, The next victory was over the traditional foe, Binghamton. By winning this game, the local boys evened the score with their ancient rival, each has now won fifteen games. It also was the last game ever to be played between the two schools, as Bingo has broken athletic relations with Elmira. The score: Elmira 7, Bingo o. The closest score was that of the U.-E. game, Elmira winning by a margin of only three points, nine for E. H. S. while all that the Orange Tornado could get was six. A hard-fighting Cortland team fell on the next Saturday under the push of a superior Blue and White. Using numerous reserves, the E. H. S. was able to win 24-O. The Hnal game of the season was with Ithaca. Nearly one thousand followers of the Blue and White accompanied the team. They were not disappointed. The two fast, light combinations fought the full four quarters. The E. H. S., with superior teamwork and blocking, won 26-zo. With a string of Hfteen consecutive victories, the Elmira boys have set a Hne record. The whole school will join in wishing the team of 1937, which will have sixteen returning letter men, all the luck in the world and that their season will be as fruitful as that of this year. 73 Rasclltc .S'crn11zi mtv: Robcrtsnn, Young. .-Xntlrcws, Lenlincelli, H.

BASKETBALL ALTHOUGH THE RECORD of three victories and seven defeats in league competition compiled by the 1936-37 edition of the Elmira High Schools' basketball team was far from brilliant, things were not as dark as they seem. A glance at the records shows that Blue and White lost only two games by a margin of over ten points, and only one of these could be called a 1'OLlt. In its final game, Elmira succeeded in doing what no other team had been able to do in the league race, namely, to triumph over Cortland, champions of the western divi- sion of the circuit. Finally, and perhaps most important, there will be a large group of experienced players returning next season, and prospects are bright for an Elmira champion- ship in 1938. At the start of the campaign, Coach Hirst was blessed with only two veterans, "Redl' O,Neil and "Flip'l LeValley. These two, together with the sensational Sophomore shooter, Ropelewski, formed the nucleus for the team that Coach Hirst found necessary to juggle quite constantly during the season in an effort to hit upon a winning combination. Sleeper, McConnell, Messing, Shaff, Heher, Robertson, and Crittenden all saw considerable action in varsity games. The opening game was a non-league encounter with the Reformatory who were a highly lauded aggregation. The Blue and VVhite made a strong showing, and hopes rose regarding the conference chase. However, Endicott served notice that all was not to be so agreeable, when they took the Hrst league encounter from the locals by a 38-25 score. Leon Ropelewski brightened the gloom somewhat by tossing in 16 points for E. H. S. A week later, the Hirstmen dropped a second decision to Iohnson City, but kept the score close all the way. The Elmirans scored their initial victory of the season at Ithaca, when they piled up an overwhelming advantage in the second period. The game was enlivened, or marred, which ever way one looks at it, by a display of Hsticuffs, but Elmira beat off a last quarter rally to win 30-26. The Blue and Wliite suffered its worst defeat of the season at the hands of Binghamton in a game about which the least said is the best. In the Hnal contest of the round, the Hirstmen nearly upset Cortland, but failed by three points. E. H. S. avenged its earlier licking at the hands of U.-E. by outpointing them 8-2 in an extra period to win 36-30. The Elmirans, however, suffered setbacks in their next three contests, losing to Iohnson City by five points, Ithaca by two points, and Binghamton by five points, after leading at the halfway mark in each encounter. The locals completed the the schedule in a blaze of glory when they handed Cortlandfs Purple its initial conference defeat with a last half drive that carried them to victory, 19-17. The Sophomore star, Leon Ropelewski, who finished fourth in the Conference race for point-getting honors, led the team in scoring. He caged forty-one field goals and twelve fouls for a seasonls total of ninety-four points. Harry O'Neil was second with twenty-nine Held goals and II fouls for sixty-nine points, while Fred LeValley, veteran guard, was third with fifty-one tallies. 75 .Smmld Vrrzv: john Rich, Gonrge jmcplm, IADIIIS Blzxthews, jamcs I.cXI:n'k. l'z11v! wmv: john l"lynn, Rulmcrt ITISCIIIIIZIII, XYilli:1n1 Holla-ran, jamus Snmvclcn.
