' Advisers The stars tell much tonight, and l see a particularly brilliant group on the eastern horizon that l recognize as the guiding constellation of the Sophomore Class of 1936. That large round star stands for victory of the Sophomores in interclass basket- ball. This class was also well represented by Schmidt, Beere, Catlin, Karpel, and others in the varsity and junior varsity basketball and football teams which proved most successful this year. It seems that the stars have a similarity which portrays success in all your under- takings. You have shown great ability in planning social functions. There is one very outstanding star which I noticefthat is your ability to co- operate vvith other classes. Those refreshments you served at the dance the Fresh- men gave after the Johnson City game proved that you are not behind other classes when it comes to performing your duties. The stars which I do see are very illustrious and hold much in store for you. The class of 1936 is very young as yet, but if it holds to its old standard, which the stars declare, it will probably he another class Worthy of the insignia of Seniors in your high school. 24

Social Chairman MISS W1LsoN, Miss CAMPBELL ......... .-ldrisers Good afternoon! Let me gaze into these tea leaves and read for you the story of the class of 1935. You agree? All right .... According to the leaves here, l should be inclined to think that as freshmen you were pretty green. You banged into upper classmen, went to the wrong class rooms, dropped your supplies everywhere, and actually took some homework home. You probably would rather forget about the part you played in an event called Freshman initiation, so I shall merely remind you that though your role was humiliating, you really conducted yourselves very well. By the formation of those leaves in the corner there, T notice you soon outgrew those childish Freshman ways, however, and very shortly assumed an important place in the life of the Owego Free Academy. ln fact, you very quickly set about proving that you were to be the peppiest, jolliest and yet the most dignified class ever to tread the corridors of your high school. You have been well represented in both, football and basketball by such stars as I leorge Hall, Edmund Fahl, and Johnnie Searles, if I read the leaves rightly. l can see that you have been outstanding in social events, too. A dance called the Fall Frolic proved that you could put on a dance that was a high success from every standpoint. You showed a most commendable spirit of hard work and cooperation there, my friends. Perhaps you realized then that the guidance of your class ad- visers may have helped you materially to attain that success. l imagine if you evidence that same spirit, there will he no doubt about your Junior Prom's going down in history as the grandest affair of its kind ever staged in your high school. No, the tea leaves do not read the future, but you may certainly decide from your glorious past that your future will be even bI'ighter. May the tea leaves read truly. Twenty-iive cents, please. 23

There is a line that tells me that the class of l937 survived that unusually trying initiation. However you no longer fear anything since you outwitted the Seniors in this fray. That little short line tells me that your energy long ago turned into worth while activities and I find many of you on the athletic teams. Richard Cornwell, I see, will one day be well-known as the mainstay of the U. F. A. football team. Edward Ferguson, Freddy Knox, and Clarence Morse will be important members of the basketball team. This crooked line tells of many social activities, and that curve indicates that you will some day become leaders in that field. Ah,-I see many of your number mingled with other young people at a very successful dance after a certain basketball game, where you, inexperienced though you are in such affairs, showed your capability in management and cooperation. l notice, however, that you also have students in your midst and that there are many familiar names on the honor roll. . I know, my children, that you have proper respect for the upper classes and will some day be worthy of such respect yourself. 25 4, . K X
