OIC OI THE STAFF OF THE 1935 TOM-TOM HAVE ENDEAVORED TO SET FORTH SCHOOL LIFE MORE CLEARLY THAN EVER BEFORE. USING THE EARLY INDIAN ENVIRONMENT OF OWEGO AS THE FOUN- DATION FOR THE PORTRAYAL, THEY HAVE DIVIDED THE EVENTS OF THE SCHOOL YEAR INTO FOUR SECTIONS, NAMELY: AUTUMN, WINTER, SPRING, AND SUMMER. AN INNOVATION IS THE USE OF COLORED INSERTS TO DIVIDE THESE FOUR SECTIONS, AND TO INTRO- DUCE THE FOUR CLASSES IN HIGH SCHOOL. THE BRIGHT, COLORFUL CONCEPTION OF AN INDIAN AUTUMN INTRODUCES THE INEXPERIENCED FRESHMEN. THIS SECTION CONTAINS THE MEMORABLE INCIDENTS OF THE DRAMA WHICH WAS PLAYED BY THE FROSH. THE SOPHOMORES APPROACH IN THE MIDST OF A COLD, BLEAK WINTER. GIVEN AN OPPORTUNITY, THEY PRESENT THEIR ACCOM- PLISHMENTS AND ESPECIAL INDIVIDUALITIES. A WHIFF OF SPRING AIR USHERS IN THE JUNIORS. THUS THIS DIVISION OF THE ANNUAL OFFERS THE HAPPY REMEMBRANCES AND ACTIVITIES OF THE JUNIOR CLASS. WITH ALL THE POMP AND GLORY DUE TO THE GRAND SENIORS, SUMMER BRINGS THE CLIMAX OFTHIS YEAR BOOK. HERE THE ACHIEVE- MENTS AND COLORFUL EVENTS OF THE SENIORS ARE CONVEYED. BY ARRANGING THE ANNUAL IN THIS WAY THE STAFF HAVE AT- TEMPTED TO PRESERVE FOR YOU, IN THE YEARS TO COME, A VIVID AND JOYFUL MEMORY OF SCHOOL DAYS IN THE OWEGO FREE ACADEMY.
