SENIOR CLASS HISTORY In writing this brief history of the class of 36, we find we have but one obstacle to overcome- that is, finding sufficient space to record all the activities in which we have participated so enthusias- tically and prosperously. We, the Seniors, are attempting to prepare the lower classes for the serious crises which are certain to come after this intellectual class has departed from the Owego Free Academy to attain success in new worlds. The four short years we have spent in the O. F. A. have left us with a deep and genuine understanding of life as it is, they have prepared us for the difficulties of life so that we may overcome them and become stronger in doing so, and they have instilled in our hearts and minds those virtues and qualities which make for good character. The class of 33 thought it wonderful that they should have the privilege of initiating such a fine group of freshmen as they received. We are certain that those seniors could fine no fault with the way their freshmen, the present seniors, underwent initiation. After we were initiated we began the career which has spread our fame as a remarkable class. Our first two years were spent mostly in trying for the honor rolls, anticipating the honor of being elected a member of Omega Phi Alpha, which is now blessed with an extraordinary large number of the class. The first large social event that attracted attention to the class of 36 was the junior Hop. Under the excellent direction of the chairman David Beete, with the assistance of Natalie Patton, Phillip Thomas, and the class president, Nicholas Pedro, this dance was made a success and established the reputation of the class in the field of social activities. However, this event fades into insignificance when compared with our Junior Prom, which, by the way, was one of the two that has ever been financially successful. But that is accounted for when we acknowledge that this class has been a superior one during its four years. Of course, the capable and experienced chairman, David Beere, assisted by a committee consisting of Roger Searles, Halsey Schmidt, and Hugh Hogan, was largely responsible for this social triumph. It was in our Junior year that we became famous in the sports world, too, for several of our boys received varsity awards for participation in basketball and football. Among these were Halsey Schmidt and Johnny Doyle, who were outstanding in basketball, Johnny being one of the three high scorers in the league. Molly Welch and Hugh Hogan received letters for football. Each one had worked hard for his letter and surely deserved it. The Class of 36 also received the Intramural Basketball Pennant in their Junior year. The team established a wonderful record of seven victories and only one defeat. E And now, after three hard years of study and preparation we have come to what is surely our most successful year in the O. F. A. The officers we have chosen are efficient and experienced, and worthy of much responsibility. We elected Phillip Thomas, President, Marion McCarthy, Vice-President, and Hugh Hogan, Secretary, Louise Ford, Treasurer. ' We started the year off with a bang in the form of freshman initiation. It is certain that those lowly freshmen will remember us for years to come. We hope, also, that we have set up an example that they will look up to and try to follow Conly try, mind you, for we have set an example we modestly think no class will ever excelb. Soon after freshman initiation we made arrangements for a dance, The Football Hop, which was held after the Waverly-Owego football game. Of course, it was not surprising that this was a success financially as well as socially. Muriel Jacobs headed the enterprising committee in charge of this affair. A Valentine Party, directed by our President, Phillip Thomas, was held on February 15, and was instrumental both in swelling our treasury and our fame. As this is being written, there still is another great activity, the Senior Play, in store for the Class of 36. It is needless to tell our admiring public that this year's Senior Play will be incomparable. We have selected an excellent play, Big Hearted Herbert, which we will produce with our usual zeal and enthusiasm. And then, Seniors, terminating our short career in high school is Commencement-for some of us the goal, for others only the beginning. 7-4
