Abbey and to Mr. Dee Goodrich whose interest and assistance have made possible tho publication of this book. THE STAFF DUCATION is the foundation of democracy; pub- lic schools the guarantee of its continuance, and properly trained boys and girls the only hope for its future. In many countries of today — countries with unrest, privation, despair, revolution and even dic- tatorship—education exists only as a means of learning to follow militarized regimentation and discipline. Our educational systems must be kept free from all such individual and political selfish- ness! Our public schools are training the youth of today in ways of rightful living and independent thinking, to make wise choices in fundamental prin- ciples, to develop character within themselves, to make gainful use of leisure time and to develop general health. Perpetuation of such a program assures us leaders for the future in the varied fields of our democracy. R. C. S. stands for all this in our own small community. In the years to come our very exist- ence may depend upon the continuance of the successful accomplishments of our past. WILFRED J. COYLE, Superintendent Third Supervisory District Allegany County 3 3 3 3 3 3 3 3 3 3 1 3 3 3 3 3 9 3 CONTENTS ADMINISTRATION CLASSES ORGANIZATIONS ATHLETICS EQUIPMENT SCHOOL SONG Among the hills of Allegany Stands our Richburg School Keeping watch o'er hill and valley Tis our Alma Mater true, We will always love it dearly As each boy and girl should do So let everyone defend it For we re proud of you. When our school days all are over And we re far away All our good times will be ended But the memories will not stray, We will not forget our teachers Nor our friends so tried and true And the fun we've had together In Richburg Central School. ARLOINE CORBIN 38 THE VALUE OF A YEAR BOOK Who of us has not in his maturity looked back with fond memories to days of happy school life? When the years have dimmed the once familiar faces of schoolmates and friends, who of us has not sought the aid of his own alma mater year-book to refresh his recollections of the past and help him relive the days that are gone? To graduating seniors especially, I know of noth- ing which can adequately substitute the value of the yearbook. To underclassmen also, if not so much, is the yearbook effective in transposing into permanent form the friendships of classes, groups and teams which are so vital a part of school life. The memory of years of association and com- panionship with fellow students and teachers is immortally enriched by the pictures and write-ups of a yearbook. Any project which requires effort brings with its successful accomplishment a satisfaction which cannot be achieved otherwise. A yearbook re- quires effort, skill, co-operation and diligence on the part of those who have shouldered the respon- sibility of its undertaking. The staff of this year- book has endeavored to make it worthy of the -effort put forth in its publication and, in my estimation, deserves the hearty approval of those who, with the passing of years, will come to more fully appreciate its significance.

I 3 19 3 8 19 3 8 THE QUILL SERVICE OF AN ALUMNUS The service an alumnus may render his community and school depends on three things: opportunity, desire or willingness, and common sense. Anyone exercising his right of citizenship by conversation and at the polls, . creates a wholesome sentiment and renders as great a service as those who are in office. Citizens should not be hasty in criticizing those officially responsible, but after careful investigation and consideration, should take the criticism in a friendly spirit to parties concerned, and it should be received in the same manner. A heart to heart talk would not only bring about a better understanding but also would produce help- ful results. HENRY L. MILLIS '02 1 ATHLETICS THEN AND NOW I The first record of organized school athletics in Richburg was in 1909, when a squad of track athletes competed in the first Alfred interscholastic meet. In the years following, a team managed to place third in this event. However in recent years; Basketball, organized in the years 191 I -1912. has become the major sport. Since then, a coach has been employed and Richburg has been among the leading contenders for the county championship. In 1928-1929, the team won the Class B title, playing in the finals at Rochester. Baseball and Soccer have recently become inter-school sports. Our team win- I ning the 1936-1937 soccer championship of Allegany and Steuben Counties. FLOYD SAUNDERS '12 R. C. S. RURAL ADVANTAGES I About 70% of Richburg Central School children live in rural sections. Many of these children have to walk only to the street to reach a comfortable bus. Today, the average rural student walks fewer miles and consumes little, if any, more time in reaching school than he did formerly. - Beginners are able to start their education a year or more earlier than they could without the centralized school. The educational, and social advantages for the rural student are invaluable, com- pared with the old system, and we all enjoy civic pride in an institution of greater value in every way than the village alone could provide. LYLE M. CANFIELD SCIENCE THEN AND NOW Reminisences of the days of the old Richburg Union School, particularly during the period of 191 1-1914 recall to mind numerous changes in the Science Department. Keeping in step with modern ideas and inventions, the department has steadily grown to many times its former size and is now equipped with adequate supplies to - cope with the present day needs. Elementary Science, as taught then, consisted of Zoology, Botany and Physiology, each a half year subject. Today these subjects are taught as one—General Science. In contrast to a few short years ago, Chemistry now touches our lives at nearly every point, industrially and scientifically. It teaches us how to make paper, rayons, preservatives for food, and how to produce the most gasoline from crude oil. The list is endless and steadily growing. a Physics, another of our sciences, is probably the broadest and most fundamental. Over the period of these few years there has been a veritable flood of new discoveries ■ such as radio, television, color photography and Talkies —all making for greater knowledge and better living. At present our Science Department is practical and modern, and the School Board takes pleasure in aiding its growth and development. Members of the Board of Education. HOWARD THOMSON '14 I 4 t WHAT R. C. S. MEANS TO ME Richburg Central School is one of many modern consolidated systems, which provide educational, social, and economic advantages to the present day youth. But what does it mean to me? It has given me an education foundation. Inter- woven with the regular instruction, other values are taught, such as: cooperation with others, sports- manship, working for work's sake, and self control. Thus, Richburg Central School, my alma mater, my friend, my teacher, has given me an oppor- tunity to rub elbows with fellow men and learn the business of living.

ISOBEL WOOD CREED As a student of Richburg Central School, I will endeavor to take this pledge seriously in school, on the street and in interscholastic contests. I will be loyal to teachers, classmates and all with whom I am associated. I will respect—school property. I will support school activities—either as a reliable participant or as an enthusiastic booster. I will be democratic—in school relationships. I will bean example of punctuality and neatness, personaly and in all my work. I will do more than is required; I will go cheerfully the second mile. I will regard my education as an investment which should return dividends to me, my parents, and to the public. 4 8 9 3 8 THE QUILL 19 3 8 4 4 4 4 4 i I 4 fl 4 4 4 4 4 4 4 4 4 4 4 4 1 1 4 1 •I 4 T H E NURSE’S O LL UL LU U JAMES COYLE FLORENCE BURLINGAME (All Fourth Grade Students) ANNE McOUEEN, Nurse Teacher MAXINE MILLIMAN First Health, Then Wisdom. Healthy Children make a Strong Nation. American Child Health Association Motto The primary aim of every public health nurse in a school nursing service is to help secure maximum health for every child through his own intelligent cooperation and that of all others who influence his environment. The duties of the nurse-teacher vary in communities depending on such condi- tions as lack of medical services, restricted health and social resources and the extent of area to be covered. The nurse-teacher thus serves as a connecting link between the home, the school and the community and can utilize the interest of all groups to help in the promotion of the health of the child. 4 9 Art Room Screen Industrial Arts Display '1 1 1 Business Training '34 Pioneer Bus Rifle Club President Principal At Rest Summer Pun Mary's Little Dog I I 9 3 S THE QUILL 1938 RICHBURG BOY SCOUTS Left to Right, on floor: Charles Cornelius: front row: Jay Johnston (Junior Assistant Scoutmaster), Alfred Latten, Alan Ayars, Lanson Skinner,.
