Oswego High School - Paradox Yearbook (Oswego, NY)

Text from Pages 1 - 86 of the 1932 volume:

, V OSWEGO HIGH S KM OSWE Ml jforetoorb With a just pride in our endeavor and a full consciousness of our shortcomings we present the Paradox of 1932 with the hope that it may prove a lasting tie to our Alma Mater. Bebtcatton This volume of the Paradox is dedi- cated to Miss Ethel Hudson as an expression of the admiration and affec- tion in which she is held by the students of the Oswego High School. P ARADOX 1932 MISS ETHEL HUDSON —PAGE THREE- PARADOX 1932 Class Poem WHEN JUNE COMES When June- comes, ■ Ah, so we longing sigh, When winter winds are nigh. When June comes ; Our pulses like the rill That now lies cold and still. Beneath the snow, Will joyous flow When June comes. When June comes. A new messenger will bring New life to us all. When June comes ; And unto you and me Now parted, there ma} ' be A moment sweet. What time we meet. When June comes. When June comes, Ah, the sweet, longed-for day, May be, yet pass away, When June comes; And our sad feet have missed The longed expected tryst — What shall we know Of joy or woe, When June comes? When June comes. The future we forecast, We dream its joys shall last. Today is fraught With but one thought, hen lime comes. Ward Edward Boothe. PAGE FOUR- FAC U LT Y PARADOX 1932 Faculty Charles E.

Whereas, we, the Class of ' 32, wish to leave to our worthy successors, not only our loyal and devoted spirit of progress, but also the vast amount of wisdom we have acquired during our brief sojourn of anywhere from fourt to eight years in these halls of learning, that they too may eventually reach a similar status of knowledge. The following Items we do here inscribe in this, our last will : Item No. 1 — We hereby order the faculty with the exception of the male instructors, who will be the honorary bearers of our body to its final resting place, to administer the last rites of a worthy and dignified service. Item N. 2 — To the all-enduring Faculty, we respectfully submit our most heart-felt gratitude and the space necessary for this one sentence in appreciation of their services rendered to us. Item No. 3 — To the Alma Mater we leave the above mentioned faculty more capable and efficient from their long association with us. Item No. 4 — To the School ' s most meticulous authorities, we leave provisions for a Barbed- Wire Fence to protect the terraces and the struggling grass from the vicious and relentless onslaughts of irresponsible Freshmen. To those insignificant members of humanity who possess sufficient nerve to call themselves Juniors, we reserve Senior Hall, better known as 313, and its ever present custodian. Miss Dean. To any popular and worthy Jun ior, President Jack Deno gladly relinquishes his office. To Liz Spencer we leave a pink hair ribbon and an over-sized suit of rompers that she may continue to act the Bubbling Infant. To Miss Leroy, we leave a Twenty-four cylinder I Hixenberg Special which she may proudly display as her own personal TAXI with that nonchalant young man, Mr. Samsel, in his rightful place — Behind the wheel. To Francis (Fox) Riley, we leave a new debate team under the leadership of Cortland (Sarcasm) Raby, to increase his worries and troubles that may hasten the day of his becoming temporarily incensed with AMNESIA. To any worthy underclassman, Adele McDonald bequeathes her wisdom and ability to master foreign languages. To any male student aspiring to become an impassioned debater, Freddy Kane leaves such oratory as never fell from the lips of mortal Man. To Kay Matott, Bud Fletcher and Eileen Somers give up the spacious auditorium stage for solo tap dancing in future Minstrel Shows. To the vast army of lovers in the School, Jane Contryman will disclose by what syragetic attraction she has been able to hoodwink Bob Putman, and also the secret of the art of keeping her man happy. —PAGE SEJ ' EN— PARADOX 1932 To Doris Shares we extend our best wishes for her success in the Dramatic World. To Messers Bennett and Fitzgibbons, we leave encouragement, for they will need an extensive amount of it in preparing students of the Science Department for the Regents to come. To Fran Kenific and Camel Callison. Bob Workman and Fran Wells leave the distinction of being the Most Popular boys in the school. To the industrious girls of the institution. Mary Mercier leaves the trait of being at the right places and doing things at the right time with the right spirit. To the hard-working Study- Hall teachers, we provide automatic Recorders so that the Roll may be more easily and efficiently taken, together with Radios to amuse the students. To Principal Charles E. Riley, we leave a squad of assistants to aid him in writing Tardy Slips. To the Librarian, we leave Day-Beds to accommodate those students weary in mind and spirit, who spend three-quarters of their time dreaming within the portals of their Rendezvous, the Library. To Prof. Bliss Lytle, his senior friends extend their best wishes for the continuance of his research into the elementary principles of Evolution and the Fourth Dimension. To John Hanley, Frog Donahue bestows his position of being the only giant in the ( ). H. S. To any student interested in the mechanism of school government, John Neville bequeathes his office as president of the Student Association. To Dan Conway, Ernest Spring le aves his confirmed reputation as a Woman Hater. For Chottie Benz and Betty Dain, we provide a Matrimonial Agency where they may spend the rest of their days looking for Ideal Men. Likewise, any other property, real or personal, that we may possess, we bequeath to the executors, to be distributed as they see tit. We. therefore, make, constitute, and appoint as executors of this will, the Faculty of the Oswego High School with the injunction that they scrupulously carry out these, our last desires. In witness whereof, we have hereunto set our hand and seal this seventeenth day of June, in the year of Our Lord. ne Thousand Nine Hundred and Thirty- two. ( signed) THE SENIOR CLASS.

Oswego State Normal -PAGE TWENTY-SEVEN PARADOX 1932 Senior Oration Teachers, Classmates, and Fellow Students : Today we, the Senior Class of 1932, are about to step out into an entirely new life. It will he utterly different from that which we have known for these past four yearsi hut we shall strive to succeed. We shall not let it be said of us tint we did not succeed because of a lack of courage, energy, or ambition. After four years of untiring and faithful work, we have at last succeeded in making the grade. We have faced many obstacles but never did we flinch. We, the class of ' 32, faced them and conquered them and today we are to receive our reward. T he effort was small in comparison with the benefits we have reaped. Today we each have in mind what we want as a life ' s work. I ' .e fore we attain success, we expect to confront many more obstacles. Today, however, we are smiling and confident, we are sure of success. We shall go at life the same way in which we strove at our school work. Our teachers have done much to prepare us for this final test. Through them we have learned about the ideals of manhood. Qualities of sportsmanship and fair play have been developed through participation in extra curricular activities as well as participation in class discussion. We have mastered our Mathematics. Language, and Science through out teachers ' untiring efforts. We thank the faculty and Mr. Riley for all they have done for us. The people who have made this success possible for us are our parents. They have given us every opportunity they possibly could and fur them we must suc- ceed. The} ' have worked for us and now it is our turn to work tor them and show them that they have not worked for us in vain. We wish to give a little advice to the Freshmen and Sophomores. Keep up the work which you have started and wherever possible introduce greater effort, skill, and initiative. Above all, keep interested in your work. Evaluate your courses in relation to each other and the result you wish to attain. In a few more years you will be enjoying the rights of Seniors. Make yourself worthy of that honor. We can not all be famous lawyers or doctors but we can all do one particular task with greater skill than any other task. It is up to us to find this work and concentrate all our efforts and accumulated knowledge to it. A man succeeds at the work which he likes but if he has a vocation thrust upon him he is likely to fail. Juniors: We, the class of ' 32, are about to take our departure and bid you farewell. Soon you will occupy Senior Hall as a reward for your untiring efforts during these past three years. Your senior year will have its problems and difficulties but we have great confidence in your ability. Before we give you the honors and rights of seniors, we ask you to keep the name of Seniors high in the minds of all. Do not disgrace it in any way but keep it as a symbol of honor, a thing to be respected. With this as a charge we now give you our rights as seniors and our places in Senior Hall. Carry on for us and make the )swegO High School even more reputable than it has been in the past. Jack Deno. PAGE TWENTY-EIGHT- PARADOX 1932 The Junior Response If we hark back to an outstanding master of both prose and poetry, we may hear Pope say, By mutual confidence and mutual aid. Great deeds are done — and great discoveries made. Though this simple truth was not voiced in this pleasing form until the early days of the eighteenth century, yet we know that all history, even the most remote, bears witness to its everlasting verity. As we, in our turn, live and learn, the more surely do we recognize that no one is sufficient unto himself. In ill associations, in every walk of life, there is always present that interdependence, a keen responsibility, a constant duty. Most clearly can we see this to be true within these halls, for, in the past few years of close relationship with you each day could furnish an example. As you move on with our Godspeed toward broader fields, carry this truth in your hearts and you can carry on toward greater deeds again. Your heritage we welcome. The responsibility and trust imposed will but stimulate us to ' firm endeavor along the path you trod, along the heights you scaled here, at swego High School. Bold in our hopes and certain in our faith that we shall equal and perhaps surpass your own most worthy record, we bid you bear this truth in mind, that you may go on and on and on to greater deeds and greater discoveries. Catherine I ' . Schulz —PAGE TWENTY-NINE- PARADOX 1932 Class Prophecy MY DIARY At Home, London, England. Monday, June 15, 1962. I ' ve just returned from a most delightful week-end trip to Oswego. Inci- dentally, I was present for the opening of the World ' s Fair. By chance, I flew over on the dirigible, President William Wood. When I realized that Ernest Spring was commander of this ship, I decided to look him up at my first opportunity. However, I didn ' t see him until dinner when I found I was seated at his table. Furthermore, I was shown to my table by the head- waiter, Charles Fisher. Later that evening, I visited the ship ' s cabaret, I was extremely charmed with the exquisite dancing of Najla Bloomquist and her graceful partner, Frog Donahue. Early the next morning the ship was moored on the Madey-Ranous Institute. The taxi-plane which I took to the hotel was driven by Minnie Hubbard. I recog- nized the officer in the tower at 122nd and Bridge as Vernon Legg. When I reached the Van Auken Hotel, I went immediately to my room. After dressing, I went to my television set and dialed the Putnam residence. Jane answered. She invited me for luncheon, telling me that a few of our old friends were coming who were in town for the fair. Going into the lobby, I met Florence Kiley, who told me that she was now a hostess at Webb Cooper ' s night club. While we were talking, Marg Matteson, the world-famed beauty specialist, strolled in. After I had left them, I started for the Exposition buildings. LJpon my arrival, I was immediately greeted by the gatekeeper, Johnny Neville. We talked fur some time, and he told me that he had already talked with some of our class- mates who were visiting the fair. He said that Bobby Workman was exhibiting his renowned collection of trained grasshoppers. Mary Mercier had brought her exhibit of famous portraits; and Louise Ouigley, her display of beautiful hand- made rugs. After wandering around viewing the exhibit for awhile, I decided to start for Jane ' s luncheon. I was delighted to find there Dot McCrobie who had dis- tinguished herself by drawing up the plans for Oswego ' s new museum. Anthony Botty was also there, and he invited me to come and visit his new parish. When I talked with Arlene McGee, Kay Ahern and Nellie Sitko, they told me that jointly tin-) were running a Turkish Bath. I also learned from Dick Fitzsimmons that he was now the president of one of Oswego ' s leading banks. When we had nearly finished luncheon, we weren ' t at all sprprised that Tom Clooney had just arrived in time for coffee! By the way, he said he was detained at his meeting of physics professors. PAGE THIRTY- PARADOX 1932 I returned to the hotel for dinner. While I was eating, I looked up to find that seated directly opposite me were Gerry Griffin and his wife, the former Hilda Karpinski. They invited me to attend the opera that night with them to hear Caspar Loadwick. 1 accepted. We were shown to our box by the usher, Johnny Murray. After the performance we attended the night club where Pat Goodness and his orchestra were entertaining. The next morning, I attended services, and listened to an inspiring sermon by the Reverend Pettigrew. After dinner, I spent some time strolling through the lobby. The first person I met was joe Donovan who obviously was the house detective. He informed me that I could find a group of my old friends in the lounge. When 1 arrived there, I found assembled Bob Deady, Stanley Segal, Bones McGann, George Martin, Robert Montgomery, Stanley Bennett, Billy Loan, Chuck Brown and Carl Widger who were all members of Oswego ' s representative baseball team in the American League. I talked with them for awhile and wished them the best of luck, then I returned to my room. My things were packed, so I called a taxi-plane. 1 left the hotel and boarded my ship. As I gazed back on the gorgeous blaze of electric lights and the magni- ficent skyline of Oswego, I realized that thirty years had certainly made its changes in both the town and its inhabitants. adele Mcdonald, francis wells. -I ' ACE THIRTY-ONE— PARADOX 1932 Autographs -PAGE THIRTY-TWO— ACTIVITIES PARADOX 1952 - Managing Editor Webb A.

Formerly the membership was limited to Juniors, Seniors, and Sophomores. Later the Freshmen were added to the list. In order to obtain membership, Fresh- men and Sophomores must be on the honor roll three times in succession, while Juniors and Seniors must be on the honor roll twice in succession. Also member- ship is awarded to those receiving the highest percentage in the eleven listed subjects of the curriculum.

Konduct Among the newer extra-curricular clubs. Philatelic, better known as the stamp club, is very progressive. Under the guidance of Mr. Konduct. faculty advisor, the members carry on an intensive campaign in research work, stamp collecting and exchanging besides the social activities. The Stamp Club has added thirty-three to its ranks during the past year, as a result of the initiations held at the beginning of each term. It boasts a private library, begun last year, consisting of stamp catalogues and magazines pertaining to stamp collecting. Among the social activities, the most important for the past year, was the covered-dish supper held in the Cafeteria. A selected group of the faculty was invited to this affair, where a diversity of entertainment was enjoyed immediately after the refreshments. This club is now undertaking a recognition campaign, by which it hopes to advertise the work it has been doing, and plans to have this ready for exhibition soon. —PAGE THIRTY-FIVE- PARADOX 1932 Kappa Gamma Pi 1 ' resident Calvert Scriber Vice-President Billie Howland Secretary-Treasurer George Darling Sergeant-at-Arms Webb Cooper Advisors Mr. Fitzgibbons, Mr. Bennett Among the organizations of Oswego High in which membership is most earnestly sought, Kappa Gamma Pi, honorary science society, ranks highest. Members of this organization are students who have attained honor marks on reports and mid-term tests in either Physics, Chemistry, or Physical Geography. The aim of the club is to promote interest in all matters pertaining to science. In the past year, the Kappa Gamma Pi has been instrumental in procuring and showing moving picture films depicting a number of decidedly interesting scien- tific processes and activities. Monel Metal . Carborundum, Its Discovery and lis Uses, Manufacture of ( iptical Instruments and a few others of a slightly less interesting nature were among the subjects demonstrated. A number of the members of the Kappa Gamma Pi have spent some time in the construction of high-frequency induction coils, electric motors, telescopes and similar scientific paraphernalia. At the two initiations held during the past year approximately sixty students were admitted to the Kappa Gamma Pi. These initiations, as the pledges have certified, were highly successful. Last year, at the close of school, the Kappa Gamma l ' i had its annual outing. Everyone in attendance was well pleased with the affair and a similar outing has been planned for this year at the close of school. This year, for the first time, the Kappa Gamma Pi, presented the Kennselaer lumni Award. This award is given to the boy having the highest average for mathematics and science throughout his high school course.

It was called, The Junior Revelries of 1932, included two plays, Sp:aking to Father, and n With the Dance, and a musical revue, When the School Bell Rings. The Juniors had great fun preparing the show, and everyone enjoyed the presentation. In May the Juniors entertained the Seniors at the usual big event of the year. This ' year the Prom was a military ball ; the orchestra was good ; the girls looked beautiful in their new gowns; everyone had a wonderful time; so, of course, the Juniors voted the dance the best Junior Prom in Oswego High history. -PAGE THIRTY-SEVEN— PARADOX 1932 Tri Beta President Billie Howland Vice-President Mar}- Herriman Secretary Henrietta Baker Treasurer Dorothy McCrobie Faculty Advisor Miss Hudson Tri Beta is an organization sponsored to assist the Athletic Association, and this year has bought block letters for the boys who were eligible. The club also presented the school with a trophy case, which stands just inside the main entrance. Meetings are held every other Thursday in the school. Good times are enjoyed at every meeting. Refreshments are served and a very entertaining pro- gram is presented by talented people. Speaking plays, music, and games prevail throughout the evening. The sorority is very interested in giving dames at the school. Twilight Hops and other dames all proved to be successful. The girls have also assisted by ushering at school plays. They have not only helped the school, but have made the orphans happy by distributing baskets to them at Christmas time. Parties of different descriptions were given during the term. One of which was a Rushee Party in the form of a Hallowe ' en Party. All the members are li inking forward to a still more progressive year. —PAGE THIRTY -EIGHT- PARADOX 1952 Students Chamber of Commerce I ' resident Francis Wells Vice-President Anthony Botty Secretary Nelson Neidhardt Treasurer Vernon Legg Sergeant-at-Arms Michael Conrad Faculty Adviser Francis T. Riley The Students ' Chamber of Commerce is completing a very successful fifth year of service to the school and to the community. Pursuing the same course it has followed in the past, it participated in many projects of municipal importance. Last fall, a city-wide judging of merchants ' show windows was conducted. Later, the Chamber joined with the Senior Chamber in a municipal canvass for clothes for the unemployed. At the present time, a resonator for use in the gymnasium to back up the orchestras is under consideration. The club expanded along two new lines this year. Early last term, at the unanimous request of the members, Dr. C. R. Hervey kindly addressed the club on the subject, The Work of the State Department of Health. Since that time. Secretary George E. Burgess of the V. M. C. A., former City Clerk Fred M. Riley, and Roland Clark of the armory have given their time to speak to the club on topics both interesting and educational. To the club also belongs the honor of sponsoring and organizing the debate team which represented Oswego High School in the state competition of the Union College League after winning the cup for Section 3. Remembering the interest with which last year ' s speaking contests were received, the club received permission from Principal Riley to place Oswego in the League by paying the initial membership fee. —PAGE THIRTY-NINE— PARADOX 1952 Debating Team Cortlandt Raby William Wood Robert Deady Nelson Neidhardt Francis T. Riley (Coach), Fred Kane (Capt.) Early lasl semester, the Student Chamber of Commerce applied to Principal Riley for permission to register the Oswego High School in the Union College Interscholastic Debating League. With his assent, Oswego became a member and organization of a team got under way. Faculty Advisor, Francis T. Riley. took over the duties of Coach. Within a short time, a schedule was forwarded from Union, and the first interscholastic debeate in which an Oswego team ever participated took place in February between Oswego and Syracuse Central. Oswego winning on a favorable 2-1 decision. Unanimous decisions were awarded Oswego in the two following debates with Fulton and North High Schools. The latter debate gave the team the sectional championship. In the quarter-final playoff at Norwich, Oswego was again victorious by a 2-1 vote of the three judges selected by our hosts. Our opponents in the state semi-final was Jamestown, undisputed champion of Section 1. After a very exciting debate, three out of town judges gave )swego their unanimous approval. By thus eliminating the teams in three districts of the League, Osweg i earned ' the right to contest with Scotia for State Championship. In the final debate swego was victorious.

The club is allowed nine meetings a school term, five arc project meetings in which soap carving, poster work, batek, and Christmas cards have been made. They have turned out very well and have served as a very good advertisement for the club. Other meetings are given over to the initiating of the new members, picnics and social gatherings. The club was started in 1929 by a small group headed by Miss 1. wis, the faculty advisor. A great deal of the success of the club is to be credited to her in giving the students her time and energy. Many Art Club members have continued their work in this field.

At these supper meetings we have had various speakers who have talked informally to us. During the Christmas vacation we held our second annual get-together ban- quet. ne purpose of these banquets is to bring back former members, and hear their ideas concerning the Hi-Y and its benefits to them. Another is to create friendship among the new and old members. The banquets are enjoyed by all. A great deal of credit for the success of the Hi-Y goes to our advisor, Mr. Burgess, who has worked diligently with us throughout the year.

The outstanding event of the past year was the masked dance in the gym- nasium at Hallowe ' en. Other parties followed, most successful of which were the Christmas party and the private dance for the members. According to cus- tom, baskets were prepared and sent out at Thanksgiving which, with our dona- tion to the Red Cross, has shown our interest in Civic affairs. —PAGE FORTY-THREE- PARADOX 1932 Home Economics Club President Johanna Korajwo Vice-President ■ Norine Comerford Secretary Alice Benzing Treasurer Frances Lavonier Historian Margaret Donovan J Miss Arlene Markham Faculty Advisors Miss Hazel Reed The Home Economics Club selects its members from the students enrolled in the Homemaking subjects. To become eligible for membership a student must earn a specified number of points, and if her work is satisfactory she will be admitted as a member. Those students who take only one Homemaking subject as .in elective are eligible only for associate membership. Those taking the four year course become active members. ' I ' h club holds its meetings in the living room about six times a term. These meetings are purely social. All business of the club is cared for by the Cabinet which is composed of the officers and the faculty advisors. Members of the club, however, have the privilege of expressing themselves with regards to these proceedings. The initiation is held at the end of each term in the Home-making rooms, only those who have earned their points being admitted. The Homemaking Hub is affiliated with the State and National Home Eco- nomics irganization and sends a delegate to the convention whenever possible.

In order to complete their program for this year, the girls read on five dif- ferent groups of literature which included poetry, drama, travel, biography and novel. At each meeting three or four girls have reported on each of these types. Several special entertainments have also been planned for the meetings held during the term. Some of the most interesting books reported on were. The Ten Command- ments by Warwick Deeping, The Fountain of Youth by Eugene O ' Neill Ireland by Donn Byrne.

This play which was put on by the members of the Dramatic Club only, showed very conclusively the splendid work being clone by this organization. The cast: Fred Cummings, Doris Shares, Robert Schuler, Harold Schneider, George Barney, Frances Brown, Margaret Healy, John Neville, David Moore, Jack Deno, William Chrystal. -PAGE FIFTY JTHLETiCS PARADOX 1932 Basketball Coach David E.

Oswego is justly proud of her 1931- ' 32 basketball team. Although it did not quite reach the goal coveted by every team in the state, the championship of the last state tourney to be held, it gallantly upheld the record of the Blue and White by winning the championship of the North Central New York League for the sixth consecutive year and by copping the sectional for the third time since Coach Powers took over his duties. Suffering but two defeats, both of which were avenged, the ' varsity raced right through the League and sectional bouts into the state quarter-finals, bowling over on its way two former state champions, Syracuse Central and Little Falls, by margins that admitted of no question. In the first game with Rome, the boys went under by a 19-25 score, but a few weeks later, in order to prove that the —PAGE FIFTY-ONE— PARADOX 1932 defeat had come on an off night, they handed out a 32-18 decision over the Academy lads. Watertown seemed to match up with Oswego perfectly. The first game was ours by a two point lead, while the second went to Watertown through the better playing of Captain Johnny Stone, former Oswego center, and his team. On the night following the defeat at Rome, the local team gave Canastota an all time low score of three foul tallies. The season ' s high score was piled up against Fulton to the tune of 46-10. As a result, Oswego took the name of the point-a-minute team. The 1931- ' 32 team scored the lowest number of points in eight years, but at the same time was scored upon for less points than any of the ten quints turned out by Coach Powers. Both records are due to the fact that the team played only 20 games, the smallest number since 1922. The record shows 17 victories against 3 defeats, a splendid showing. No Oswego High team has lost less, but four have dropped only that number, including the 1930- ' 31, 1928- ' 29, and the 1927- ' 28 outfits. Next years ' team will of necessity be an entirely new aggregation. Of the ten members of the present team, only one will be left. TEAM RECORD Oswego Opponents 23— C. B.

The Powers-coached eleven had the satisfaction of holding ( hieida High, which represented the section in the finals against Herkimer High, to a scoreless tie, and trounced its arch rival, Fulton High, for the second year in succession. It was the first time since 1925 that Oswego was able to down the Red and Green on the Recreation Park greensward. With a veteran line and a complete new backfi eld, the locals, led by Captain Preston Matott, surprised even their staunchest followers by defeating a power- ful Utica Free Academy eleven, 6-0, at Fort ( hitario in the season opener, in a game in which the Blue and White came close to scoring two or three more touch- downs. Oneida High was met in the first league game on a sultry afternoon, with the dust lying inches deep on Maxwell field. ( )neida. The teams battled each other to a standstill and ended in a scoreless deadlock, when Allen Barbano, fleet Oneida back, missed a placement kick for field goal. On successive Saturdays, on the Fort ( hitario gridiron, the locals romped over Rome Free Academy, the 1930 champions, by a 26-0 score and Christian Brothers Academy, of Syracuse, by a 13-0 count. -PAGE FIFTY-THREE— PARADOX 1932 Misfortune overtook the Powersmen in the game with Watertown, played at Knickerbocker Field in that city. Several days before the game, Verne Legg, backfield sensation, developed an infection in his heel which kept him out of uniform. It rained for two days before the game and it rained during the contest. The field was a morass, ankle deep in mud. It was a weird contest, in which Oswego registered 19 first downs to its opponents ' two, yet was defeated, 7-0. when Watertown scored early and then protected its lead with strictly defensive foot- ball. It was the first touchdown scored on Oswego and the most costly. Several times Oswego worked to within a few yards of a touchdown, only to lose the pigskin on downs. The defeat eliminated the locals from the running for the section title, as the only blot on Oneida ' s record was the scoreless tie with Oswego. Fulton High was met at Fulton and bowed by a 13-0 score to close the reg- ular season. Utica authorities requested a return game between Oswego and Utica for charity and the game was played at Utica. The locals, with little incentive for victory, were not at their best form and lost, 13-6. Joe McGrath, ' Powerhouse Joe ' , was the chief scorer for the locals. It was his first year with the team. His crashing plunges through the opposing lines was a feature of the Oswego play. Verne Legg, playing his first season in the backfield, was another powerful line hitter. Ange DiMiero, Dan Conway, Dick Somers, Bunny McGrath and Jack Mansfield, made up the remainder of the ball-carrying contingent. The regular line included Captain Preston Matott and Bob Putnam, ends; Tom Grant and Jim Niger, tackles; John Murray and Paul Donahue, guards, and Anthony Botty, center.

Starting the season most auspiciously, they defeated two opponents of long standing, Sacketts Harbor and Watertown, by unquestionable margins. Their third encounter was with Utica, and unable to break their winning streak of 19 games, the Blue and White fell victim to the tune of 6 to 1. Revenge was taken in the fourth game, a return with Sacketts Harbor, and Oswego lost again, 11 to 7. The result of the return game with Watertown again proved our superiority by a margin of 12 runs. Then, as a fitting close to their season, and to the career of Captain Johnny Neville, Utica ' s lucky streak was broken by an easy 9-1 score. Since June, 1930, the Utica team had taken 19 games, having a fairly easy time of it. However, Neville allowed them just four hits, striking out twelve men in the course of the game.

In the invitation meet at Endicott, Oswego placed fourth in a field of ten, scoring 17 points. The second meet was held at Fort hitario with R. B. I., the Blue and White trailing by six points. The third was held at Utica, with swego second in a field of 14. Ten teams entered the sectional meet, but in the eleven events. ( )swego took three first places and enough seconds and thirds to total four points ahead of its nearest competitor. Second came Nottingham,, which had finished ahead of (  swego in the Utica and Endicott invitation meets. Capturing five first places and twelve medals in the eleven events of the Northern New York invitation meet, our cinder specialists were unable to catch Watertown, being nosed out by Watertown ' s 8 point advantage. But by virtue of thei r recognized ability, they placed three men in the last slate-wide track cham- pionship meet of the Public High School Athletic Association of Xew York State. Pettigrew ' s third in the pole-vault, Wells ' fourth in the 220. and King in the half mile, all contributed toward the fourth place finish of Section 3.
