FOOTBALL With a record of five victories and two defeats the 1934 O. F. A. football eleven completed one of the most successful seasons it has enjoyed in the past few years. lt outscored its opponents 138 to 68 and doubled its opponents in the number of first downs. Owego opened the season by defeating Sayre High School at Sayre 14-1 Q. The O. F. A. outplayed their opponents throughout and were especially effectively in their offensive work. The next week the Owegoans won from Penn Yan on a rain soaked field at Marvin Park by a score ofhQ1I-O. The home team seemed to have the jump on the Chemung County eleven from the opening w ist e. The Towanda game was next on the schedule and was played at Owego. The Indians made it eleven straight victories by taking over the Pennsylvanians Q7-7. The following Saturday Owego journeyed to Waverly to meet its traditional rival. The Red and White got the edge on the O. F. A. team at the start and held them scoreless while they garnered nineteen points for a 19-O. This was the first defeat that the O. F. A. had suffered since November 11, 1932 when Johnson City downed Owego at Johnson City. The O. F. A. next met Ovid at Owego. Seven regulars were out of the game with injuries sustained in the Waverly game but in spite of this fact, with seven new men in the lineup, the O. F. A. set Ovid down with a 34-O defeat. Owego met Corning Free Academy the following week at Corning. The Indians held a heavier and more experienced eleven scoreless for two quarters but something seemed to go amiss in the last half and Corning came out on top 30-O. The O. F. A. football team closed their 1934 season by defeating the Alumni, at Marvin Park on Armistice Day. Despite the fact that the Alumni had in their lineup some of the best men who ever played for the Red and Blue, the current edition of the O. F. A. won fairly easily by a score of 38-O. LETTER MEN M.

THE FRESHMAN CLASS OFFICERS Marian Searles . . . . president Frances Naatz . , Vice-President Nance l-laywood . . . Secretary Robert Jamesson . . . Treasurer lVlrs. Blanchard, lVliss Bell ,......,. Class Advisers During the fall of the year, most of the attention of the school seemed to be focused on the in-coming Freshman class, with the upper classes haughtily speculating on their possibilities. The class of '38 came in for its full share of attention this fall, and has been striving ever since to show its true worth. lnitiation by the Seniors first occupied the freshmen, and they were certainly out- standing, not only for their peculiar appearance, but also because of their ability to resist authority. The freshman class has shown its interest in athletics by turning out enthusiastically for intramural baslcetball. The girls especially distinguished themselves in this field by getting up two terms this year. Cf course the first year of high school is considered rather hard for Freshmen. There is Latin to be conquered, and algebra to be tackled, but in spite of this fact there were many of the members of this class on the honor roll, The Freshmen have not shone in social activities as yet, since the first year is always rather crowded with other things, but in the future they will without a doubt excel in this field. With such a good start the Freshmen hope to accomplish still greater things in future years, not only for their own benefit but also for the benefit of the Q. F. A. 19

Seventh Grade The Student Council started out this year, lull ol pep and energy, under the leadership ol the new president, Milton Ryder. A question which immediately came before it was the arrangement ol school dances. This question was put belore the whole school and it was decided that each student could come and bring either a guest or a guest couple. Cl course there were clubs to be rechartered, and assembly programs to be planned. The Council immediately got to worlc and sponsored several very good programs for chapel. At the beginning ol the new term, a new plan ol activities was started. It was some- thing which had never been tried in the Qwego Free Academy belore-namely, a sell- government study-hall. This was sponsored by the Student Council. With this outstanding achievement, the Council leels that it has made one more step toward student govern- ment. 14
