rizzcipa KENNETH A. VANCE This school year may well be proclaimed a year of Pioneering. A new era has been started with the building of three new schools and mak- ing improvements on our old ones. Great changes are being made in the community as a result of new enterprises. This will present many new opportunities for you and you may be classed as a pioneer in these changes. As your minds develop, you will learn about many fields in which people have only scratched the surface. When you are graduated from high school, don't just accept the world as it is. Remember if others had not been pioneers, our American way of life would not be what it is today. Students, be pioneers, dorft let your ideas lie dormant. You, too, can improve our American Heritage. A pioneer is one who leads, not follows. Kenneth A. Vance. Trail planned, leaders chosen The students of the Owego Free Academy are very fortunate to have such willing faculty members who readily accept responsibilities as advisers of so many extra-curricular activities. Many hours are spent by teachers in activities outside of the hours of a regular school day. Last year the Owego-Apalachin Teachers' As- sociation presented three scholarships to 1955 graduates of the Owego Free Academy who are planning on a teaching career. A similar project has been undertaken for the present year. The students feel a deep gratitude for these voluntary offers of time, energy, and assistance, but they also realize the tremendous importance of the facultyls contributions to the academic success of each student.
