PHELPS N THIS DAY AND GENERATION as we travel down life's highway toward our destination- graduation---it is gratifying to know that we have a school board which keeps abreast of the time. In this automotive age, which not only calls for roads, but also for highways and super- highways, all our modes of existence must keep in step with this thought. Our Board of Educa- tion is composed of men whose every thought is directed toward giving us the most modern, streamlined facilities for education in order that we may march down the avenue well prepared for life. il? The second floor of the recently remodeled Munici- pal Building is entirely used for School Business Offices, Superintendenfs office and School Board room. 4 ' , IN' N iw I X , ,X y 'L N t 2 To Students of Owego Free Academy: You are fortunate in living in a modern age because 'fRoacls',, the theme of your yearbook, are a modern invention-whether it be high- ways across the land or the sea, or lanes through the air. There are so many of these highways that they constitute a complicated system. For this reason, your education now and your training in the future are most important in guiding you along the right paths, whether it be a side road or the main highway. In life you will have certain stepping-stones, such as graduation. In reality, if you think care- fully, you always will be challenged to study the allegorical maps! With all good wishes for your trips through life, I am Yours very sincerely, VV. G. MORGAN il? Our Princfpal . . . Sheldon Gufle Our Superfnfenclenf . . . W G. Morgan 6'Stop,', 'SThru Traffic , 'Turn Rightn, 'iRoute 54 --These are tangible signposts, familiar to all of us. But more important are the intangible signs that mark the road of life itself. We each follow such a route-a road of our own,-the one we make for ourselves. Here the signs are different- Learning to Read , 'LA Guiding Parent , '4An Understanding Teacher , An Experience Opening New Vistasv, A Church Nurturing Your Faith , A Community Believing in You , Your Faith in Yourselfnfthese have been some of your sign posts. Now, another sign beckons, '4Graduation,'. A sign surrounded by other route markers- College , UIndustry,', Armed Services , Marriage',-from these you must choose. Thus, the theme 'SRoads,' is very appropriate for your Tom Tom . You have traveled long and well these past years. New roads are your just due. Whichever turning you take, there will go with you the high hopes and best wishes for successful living from the faculty of Owego Free Academy. 'LGodspeed,' on your further journeys. SHELDON E. GUILE THE FACULTY o HAVE A GOOD ROAD you Inust have a firm foundation. It is during our high school years that we are building this foundation for our road of life. The teachers of O. F.

The Seniors discover that soon they will leave the paths they have followed through high school, and will set out on the busy thorough- fares toward success. Even though we must leave O. F. A., the memories of our high school days will always remain with us. As Freshmen we started down the trail to a greater education. Freshmen Initiation seemed to be a terrible ordeal. Between wearing our mixed-up clothes and bowing to the Seniors, we began a memorable year. We were anxiously waiting for the day when we would be Seniors. The next year we became Sophomores travel- ing another road to Senior Study Hall. In the fall we entered school determined to tackle the harder subjects such as Latin, biology, and geometry. When we passed the Regents in June, we discovered ourselves ready to traverse another trail on the way to becoming Lofty Seniors . I , The next year we, as Juniors, were nearly at the end of our course. The big issue during this year was the annual Junior Prom, which every- one enjoyed immensely. During this year we tackled world history and managed to get through, very grateful for Miss Fitzgerald's help. At last! We are on the last leg of our journey down the many lanes and byways. The coveted seat in Senior Study Hall has finally been achieved. With this achievement comes much hard work toward certihcation and graduation. We have enjoyed many great events such as Freshman Initiation, the Senior Play and the annual Commencement Exercises with the Senior Ball following. We have traveled many highways toward becoming a success in school. Now as we begin another and more difhcult route, we say good- bye to our dear Alma Mater, remembering all of the happy times we enjoyed. enior Celebrities Top row, left to right-The Girl and Boy who did most for the class, Joan Chermak and Dale jackson, The Class Brains , Carl Peters and Carolyn Huston, The most athletic, Edward Miller and Mary Lou Nichols.

F. A. and now here we are at the crossroads, nearing our graduation and prelude to success. I wish to tell each one of you, before we part, what a great honor and privilege it has been for me to serve you as president of the Class of '54-. As I travel down the road of life, stored always in my memories will be the wonderful experiences we have shared here at O. F. A. I will always remember each one of you and the part you played in the Class of '54 and hope always for your success in everything you undertake. May God bless you always.

The Educational Hi hway HO KNOWS where any road comes from, or where it eventually leads? When we entered our first year of high school, we em- barked on a long journey. Our Freshman year we emerged from the wilderness to travel upon the rough road of our Sophomore year. We tried to heed carefully our teachers, the policemen along our way. Our progress was measured by milestones, our report cards. We found the going easier during our Junior year, although the road twisted and turned in many places. The road signs were our extracurricular activities, pointing the way toward a more en- joyable, better-adjusted social life. One of our many outstanding Junior classmates was vice- president of the Student Council. Over forty hardworking, talented Juniors strived this year to make our Dramatics Club a successful tribute to our school. Many participated in vocal or instrumental music. The highlight of our Junior year was the fabulous Junior Prom, staged with the added efforts of our class advisors, Mr. Truman and Mrs. Meyers. Perhaps the most important signposts along our road were athletics. The Juniors did our class proud in every Held, of which basketball, football, wrestling, track, and baseball were prominent. Junior girls composed a major num- ber of our cheerleaders, who inspired our teams to victory. All of us hope to cross all bridges and avoid all detours in our Senior year. Traveling down the various roads of our school-life, we shall come next year to a definite crossroad, providing a challenge for us to build bigger and better highways through our life. So we must not pause in our journey toward our final goal, that of entering the super-highway-the road of life. Pl - ROOMS 17, 6 AND JUNIORS FROM s. s. H. Front row, left to right-K. Chandler C.

There are all kinds of roads in school as well as roads in and around the world. The Sophomore Class, the graduating class of '56, has progressed slowly but surely along the road of education. To help us along this sometimes smooth and sometimes rough road we elected Mrs. Nichols as our class advisor and the following capable officers: Phil Manchester, president, Bob Jenk- ins, vice-president, Jim Wright, secretary g Joan Perry, treasurer, Bev Moses and Ronnie Trice, Student Council representatives. Of course, the going gets tough and the road seems to have more and more ruts. We noticed this change when we tried the Big Three - Latin, biology, and geometry. Many of the sophomore girls are preparing for a secretarial career so they struggle with typing, shorthand, etc. Of course, the boys are trying at every turn to conquer such courses as shop, agriculture and higher mathematics. The sophomore class is very proud of the fact that the Junior Varsity Cheerleaders are all sophomores. They are: Jill,' Gillette, HBev Moses, '4Maggie Courtright, Dorolyn Raftis and Suzie Dickinson. These happy leaders en- courage the boys on the teams and the spectators with their lively and rousing cheers. Not to be outdone by the cheerleaders, there are also quite a few sophomore boys on the J.V. squad. Trudging along together we go, shoulder to shoulder, friends, we hope, now and forever. The road has been rough in places but all in all this past year at O. F. A. has been one of happiness. ROOM C. D. N. Front row, left to rightfK. Shirley, F. Smith, M. Blow, B. Spencer, S. Brown, H.

When we were in kindergarten we started to travel the long road ahead of us. Then, Route 1957 seemed so smooth, straight and wide, but each succeed- ing year we found that the road appeared more difficult to travel. Eventually, we realized the need for a road map to help us find the correct routes. We have obtained very good advice from the road signs which are placed at intervals to help us, and guide us around detours, forks, and curves. Some of us have heeded the road signs and road maps, while others have disregarded them, only to meet with disaster. There are 122 Freshmen traveling along this road. All of us have met with some roadblock at one time or another. In the early part of our Freshman year we paused beside the road to select some officers or leaders to direct our course. We elected Joshuean Shafer as our president, Jane Gillette, vice-president, Nancy Fowler, secretary, and Alice Russell, treasurer. We elected Raymond Baker and Lois Russell as members of the Stu- dent Council and chose Mr. Bradley Gormel, our Class Advisor. To be prepared for any obstacles which we might Find on the road, we had regular class meetings to discuss our class and ways we could improve it. We have had fun as well as work along this road. Our freshman initiation proved to us that we must always have a sense of humor and good sportsmanship to be successful. We hope that by the time we reach the home stretch along Route 1957 we will be better pre- pared to be useful members of our community. ROOM 5 Front row, left to right7C. Livingston J. Gillette, P.

E, AS EIGHTH GRADERS of the class of 1953- l954, are like an old road on which con- struction has begun for a new highway. The foundation was laid by our major subjects. Our minor subjects widened the road. Our extra- curricular activities added interest. Major subjects were of great importance in our educational journey. English-Part I, the tool subject, helped us speak and write more correctly. In English-Part II we applied these tools to composition and letter-writing. Math- ematics taught us accuracy and prepared us for future financial problems. Citizenship education showed us how to be better citizens, as we studied the history and government of our country. Our major subjects were necessary for the foundation of our road. The minor subjects helped widen our back- ground. Music and art added to our culture. Learning to keep mentally and physically fit was the main purpose of health and physical educa- tion. We kept up-to-date on world affairs in current events. Safety taught us care in pre- vention of accidents. Homemaking gave knowl- edge of how to turn a house into a home. Minor subjects had a definite stance in our widening road of life. Extra-curricular activities gave us pleasure along the road. Music activities developed talent. Homeroom meetings, where we learned how to govern ourselves better, were lessons in democracy. Our representatives also participated in Student Council planning. Audio-visual films and slides brought valuable information. Horne- room Christmas parties, the Holiday Hop and the St. Patrick's party were enjoyable social affairs. These activities, like a road, had many interesting features. So, in the eighth grade class of 1953-1954, we have traveled the same old road, but have noticed many changes. With this well-rounded program of subjects and activities, we had an excellent opportunity to improve. Now we are ready to work in high school on this widening highway. Our destination is our high school graduation. ROOM 9 Front row, left to right+R. Doane, E Strong, J. Davis, B. Babcock, B Stevens, G. Sherwood, N. Reed. Row two-G. Camp, B. Tobey, B. De- Witt, T.

His fueling stations are the numerous schools and colleges of our country. The beginning of this road is a path called kindergarten. His vehicle is small and his fuel is limited. As he travels along the lanes of primary and elemen- tary grades his vehicle becomes larger and his fuel supply gradually is more abundant. On September 8, 1953, we started on the road of Junior High School. We seventh graders are the country roads winding slowly up to the super-highways. Sometimes the road is rough and bumpy as the second ten weeks proved to be. As you advance to higher grades the road becomes wider and more difficult to climb. If you are careless in your work you are liable to run into a detour! The road widens and has branches such as library, gym, music, and healthg or playgrounds which may be football, basket- ball, or baseball games. These add to the pleasure of the highway. Even though we are traveling down the country lanes in hope of some day reaching the super-highway, we sometimes think the country lanes are the pleasanter days on the road of life.

Afs Road-Sign Builders LONG THE ROAD of school activities we Hnd the members of the Tom Tom Staff ham- mering away at a roadsign-The Tom Tom. The Tom Tom reviews all the school activities for the year. The goal of the staff is to publish a yearbook that will excel the books of all other years. The Tom Tom Staff consists of several sep- arate staffs which are the advertising, sales, and typing staffs, directed by Mrs. John Ellis, and the art and photographic staffs, directed by Mr. Robert Ellis. A group of seniors plan the senior section of the Tom Tom. The write-ups for the book are done by members of the senior class under the supervision of Bliss Jennie Hamilton. The editorial staff has to cope with the problems that usually arise when publishing an annual. All these groups have worked together with energy and enthusiasm and agree that it has been a great deal of fun. We all feel that this year's Tom Tom will certainly command the attention of everyone that travels O. F. A.'s highway of education, Little Websters o EVEN BEGIN to follow in the footsteps of such great orators as Daniel Webster or Abraham Lincoln takes great poise and confi- dence. To obtain this skill, some seniors in O. F. A., under the patient and able leadership of Mrs. Turner, try out their 'gwheelsn on that long, irregular trail of public speaking by taking part in the Annual Kiwanis Speaking Contest. Preparation of these speeches takes hours of long, hard work but these efforts are finally climaxed at the final contest held in May. Al- though these speeches are only the beginning, they could very easily be the send-off needed for the student to continue down that highway of poised and confident speaking. Road to uccess HEN WE FIRST ENTERED machine shop it was like going down a dark narrow path, but as the year advanced we found ourselves speeding along a super-highway to success. Each year the advanced shop members form a lXIachinist Club with Mr. Paul Andrews as advisor. This club helps its members learn to work with precision machines. Also, this club teaches its members to work out their projects with the finest degree of skill attainable. As in the past years. the Machinist Club took its annual trip to visit the major business enter- prises of the Southern Tier. The most popular of these was International Business Machines Corporation. it i PUBLIC SPEAKING Front row, left to fightlc, Benjamin, D. Cook, A. Wil- son, B. Burch. 'Q :oe Pg, Fi? we ae z So?

These boys also belong to an organization called the Future Farmers of America. This club is run by students who are members Of this department. At the beginning of the school year a president, vice-president, secretary, treasurer, sentinel and reporter are elected. These officers, assisted by Mr. Cormel, our vo- cational agriculture teacher, plan the activities of the F. F. A. One of the activities in which the F. F. A. participates is the testing of soil to help the farmers of the community get information to build up their soil. The boys are working in cooperation with the Tioga County Farm Bureau on this project. Every year the members of our chapter go to the school woodlot and cut evergreens to dee- Orate the stage at Christmas time. The F. F. A. Club does not work for profit. If any money is made, the club uses it to send one of the members to the State or National F. F. A. Convention. In addition, every year the club finances a summer trip of scenic and educational Value. STUDENT COUNCIL Front row, left to fight-D. Mantei, Vice-President, D. Jackson, President, B.

The representatives to the coun- cil are elected by the individual classes and a campaign is held for the election of the president and vice-president during which the entire student body votes. This year the council's many activities in- cluded the sponsoring of pre-sale tickets to foot- ball and basketball games. They also presented an assembly at which they told the students what the council had done, was doing, and intended to do. o 1 a Hamlet S Hlghway HE THESPIANS of the Junior and Senior Classes work together to amuse and gain dramatic knowledge for themselves as well as for other students. The Juniors presented a very interesting skit for the enjoyment of the seniors, and the latter presented some of their talents to the Juniors. Our double lane highway has the juniors on one side, getting ready for their ultimatum, their Senior Play, and the Seniors on the other side, ready to pass on their knowledge and experience.

Puttin the ow on the Roa w1aLL-BEATEN PATH that some of the sen- iors tread upon each year is the way to their annual senior play. This year many stumbling stones stood in the path and it took continual rehearsals and constant memorizing of lines to brush these stones aside. The senior play this year was a mystery farce in three acts by George Batson. Ramshackle Inn,' concerned the adventures of an old maid librarian, Belinda Pryde, after she had purchased a dilapidated inn in New England. The antics of a well-chosen cast added to a hilarious evening's entertainment. Members of the cast were: Barbara Van Auken, Ronald Granger, Robert Keith, Joyce Hyatt, Gregory Miller, Gilbert Schmidt, Alice Lou Wilson, Claude Wolfe, John Mullen, Garl Simons, Lois Moran, Dixie Lee Purple, Diana Gook, Dale Jackson, and Laurance Dickinson. Through the combined efforts of Miss Good- rich and Miss Fitzgerald the play emerged from the wavering path of doubt and uncertainty to the top of the hill, where success and satisfaction awaited those concerned. The class of 1954 was proud to present their senior play nRamshackle Innu. SENIOR PLAY CAST Front row, left to right fseatedj-L. Moran, B. Van Auken, D. Cook, J. Hyatt. Row two Kslandingj--C.

Musical Hi hways s OUR YEAR draws to a close we find ourselves at the end of the road which we have traveled successfully despite a change of leadership. After the task of organizing the choirs and selecting our music, we settled down preparing our first undertaking-the annual Christmas Concert. The Mixed Choir had labored diligently on numbers including 'LSleigh Ride and The Night Before Christmasn. The Boys, Choir and Girls, Choir presented Winter Song and Catalonian Christmas Carols re- spectively. The newly organized ensemble, called the Melodots, delivered A'Carol of the Bellsu and 5'Up on the Housetopw. After the midterm exams, our director, Mr. Drexler, left us, and we were then put through our paces by our new leader, Mr. Collings. Our choir participated in the annual Tioga County Vocal Festival at Tioga Center. A few of us even took part in the All-County Choir. Our Spring Concert and the N.Y.S.S.M.A. Contest were the concluding tasks. All in all we have enjoyed ourselves on our highway of music. GfrlS7Cl10ir . . . Front row, left to righti J. Moore S.

Senior Band lost many excellent members through graduation last year, but in spite of our great losses. we have succeeded in developing a musical unit again. lNe started on our trip for the year by at- tempting to develop our technique with our new band during the summer band concerts. We ac- complished much at these practices and educated ourselves for the following fall of l953. Wlith much work on the part of our director and our Football Band Committee, we competed against other school bands in outdoor playing ability and formations on the field. Finally with both diseouragement and encouragement, we rolled into the winter season. Eleeting John Waite as our student manager, we continued on our way. After much prepara- tion we now face our Annual Band Concert and other appointments as in the years past, such as the County Festival and the New York State Music Contest. Although next year we will lose some experienced seniors, we will continue to build again. ORCHESTRA Front row, left to right-K. Chandler, S. Dolinski, J. Perry, K. Heeter, M. Stiles, President, J.

Merri y We Roll Alon NE OF THE many pathways leading from the main thoroughfare for corridorj of O. F. A. is the path into the auditorium every Tuesday and Thursday noon to orchestra prac- tice. Through the years the orchestra has hit many bumps in the road but it has always managed to find a smoother lane. Once a year the orchestra hits the roadn to travel to the County Festival. Here the members meet with other school pupils to compare musical talent. While the orchestra plays, it is judged by adjudicators who afterward tell us our good and bad points. Aiding us on our course is Mr. Mordoff. He has been with us for three years and he has proved to be a good leader by giving us help when we need it. The orchestra plays each year for the Senior Play, the County Oratorical Contest, Kiwanis Speaking Contest, and the Commencement Exercises. These different activities we attend all help to make us better musicians and citizens when we reach the much traveled uhighway of life . iff Ma o reifes LEFT TO RIGHT-1. Harders, B. L.

On the Warpath ith O. F. A. TARTING ON THE WARPATH at Horseheads, the powerful Owego Indians were upset 19 to 9. Their next encounter was with Elmira Heights only to lose by a close scorre of 7 to 6. Owego's worthy opponent, Waverly, then handed the Indians their last defeat-29 to 2. The warriors of Owego scored their first win at Homer. Chieftains Murphy and Gillson under Deeb led the team to a 34- to 6 victory. The next week at Athens, the Indians battled out a victory 19 to 15. Later, an equally matched opponent, Newark Valley, came to Owego to put on one of the finest football exhibitions ever seen on the Marvin Park gridiron. Owego scored 7 to Newark Valley's 6, thus registering their third win. The Deebmen then downed Watkins Glen at Watkins to the tune of 39 to 12 ending with a respectable record of four wins and three losses. Although next year's team will lack many letter men, we hope that it will turn out a tremendous season of which we can be proud. 50 , if E ,.,.,, ., 6 I W? 55911-Q 5 39 f9l , Q v Wav I .Ma st s o Short g'd-in W' 'SM hgfom, 14 N vp I 2:j xPiAv E' i QA 3512 .

Rough Road to Hoe FTER Los1No EIGHT of last year's varsity team, Coach Deeb was left with many problems confronting him. The only experienced material to return were Edward Miller and the captain of the 1953-54 team, Richard Givens. The initial game of the 1953-54 season looked like the glory road to success as the Indians de- feated a much larger school, Binghamton North. After the first three games the Indians hit a detour. The home court record of the Academy team was certainly impressive compared to the record on the trail. The record at home was 7-2 while on the trail the record was 3-6, and the over-all record was 10-8. Our season was hampered with many injuries, the most serious being the loss of Roy King in the last five games. Richard Givens and Edward Miller of the starting five finished in the top ten scorers of the Southern Counties League, gaining 153 and 88 points respectively. Much credit should be given to Coach Deeb for his excellent molding of a new team after having only two returning lettermen. The Jay-Vee team, under the direction of Coach Terpolilli, met with a road that seemed to be under heavy construction as they compiled a record of 5-13.

The thru-way of an undefeated season was taken from their grasp by the Golden Bears of Vestal in the last game of the season. Owego not being up for this game, because of the easily scored victory in the first game, went to Vestal very confident. Although Owego failed for an un- defeated season of ,53 it was still a highway of success. 1'ElC Q NDER THE DIRECTION of Coach Michael Terpolilli and Co-captains Jim Russell and Bill Barner the Track and Field Team of 1953 had an undefeated season in dual com- petition. Owego won second place in the Southern Counties tournament and fourth in the Zone meet where Jim Russell established a new quarter mile record. Jim, accompanied by Ed Miller and Deac Cooper, qualified for Section IV Hnals at Cornell which advanced Jim Russell to the State Finals at West Point where he re- ceived a medal in the 440. He is the only boy in the Owego Track history to accomplish this feat. BASEBALL Front row, left to right-P. Martin, R. Sears, R. Thompson, A. Bush F. Kelly. r Row twofR. Brown, Coach, R. Latini, T.

Lettermen's Roa IIE yixRs1TY CLUB was started six years ago and has come a long way up the road. The club was started by Coach Deeb, in 1948, for the purpose of buying sweaters for the deserving lettermen. To raise funds, the club has a food concession at football and basketball games. Each year it also sponsors its annual basketball game between members of the faculty and members of the Varsity Club who do not participate in winter sports.
