It was because of this that we felt that we had to make all of our ac- tivities pay in order to make possible the Washington trip. Our whole four years have been filled with one business enterprise after another, the success of which we owe to the help of our advisers, the leadership of our presidents, and the cooperation of our class members. When the time arrived for our Junior Prom, we be- gan planning to make it a financial as well as a social Miss R. Margaret Hill success. This feat had never been accomplished before, but we achieved it, much to our satisfaction. WPeck's Bad Boyn was chosen for our Senior Play. Charles Herring carried the title role, and our class was represented by Everett Fleming, Marion Sweet Erwin Smith, Mary Miller, Howard Southard, Jessie Sandike, Audrey Seymour, and Anna Kilpatrick. The rest of the cast consisted of Douglas Tuttle, Rowland Redington, Alta Hymers, and Jane Hungerford. We relaxed our monetary efforts a little for our Senior Ball and as a re- sult, it was more of a social than financial success. lmry Miller was elected by the school to be the queen. Her attendants were Marion Sweet and Audrey Seymour. . At last the really great day came! At 6 a.m. on March 21, we started for Washington. Doubtless the trip was very much the same as usual, but to us it seems that it must have been the best ever taken. Now we look forward with joy and sorrow to graduation. Joy--because it is the final goal of our high school career, but sorrow--because it will mean leaving Otago Central School which has come to mean so much to us.

To create a spirit of democratic government of Otego Central School, the student council was the school years 1937 and 1938 at the suggestion among the students organized in of Mr. G. C. Franklin, then principal of the school. That first year was entirely devoted to construct-N ing the constitution for the approval of X the student body. When this task was completed, we took a small part W in the publishing of the X first student hand- X X book. Toward X X the close X i of X X x X x Adviser Miss Trimmingham that year the coun- cil were guests of the student associa- tion at Norris. During the next year, new oofficers were elected accord- ing to the rules of the constitution. ?roblems' such as locker inspection, supervision on buses at basketball games and regulation of standard dance pri- ces were assumed by the council. At the close of the year, the members visited a meeting of the Cn- eonta State Normal School Student Coun- cil. It was not un- til the fall of 1939 that possibilities of publishing a yearbook were considered seriously. In former years, similar suggestions had been made but the financing of the project was considered too great. However, this year the students decided this problem could be overcome. The last and per- haps greatest accomplishment was the completion of the award system which was Hccepted DY the student body. Through these two projects, the publication of a yearbook and the com- pletion of the award system, the council feels it has gained a great amount of cooperation among the students.

It has provided excel- lent musical entertainment for both the assem- blies and the other school events. Among the many activities of the Orchestra is its participation in the Ctsego County Music Festival held in Oneonta on - March 16th as well as in the State Competition Fes- tival at Oneonta on ' The Apr1l 20th. , players themselves in this activity have been able not only to develop their talents, but also to enrich and broaden their lives.

Competition was stiffer because of a change in leagues which brought us in games with Schenevus, Worcester, and Milford. Practice games were played with Harpursville, Hartwick, and Franklin, four of which we won. When the league season was closed, Milford and Worcester were tied for QNX Sx Coach Mr. Ferris Manager Ralph Ford first place, with Otego placing sec- ond. At the inter- sectional games held in Oneonta, we elim- inated Morris, thus gaining the right to meet Cherry Valley. By a small margin, we lost. Harry Bouton, John Herring, and Thomas O'Hara repre- sented Otago on the team of the Eastern Section for the All- Star Game. Both the students and coaches of Eastern Section won.

After lots of practice Koh--what lame muscles!! the squad attended its first game. It did fairly well, but each one was in for a lot of improve- ment!

The cap- tains were Catherine Ford, Gloria Davis, Alta Hymers, and Beulah Favreau. Eleanor Hunt was scorer and Marion Bundy, timer. With the aid of Mrs. Wil- liams, girls' basketball coach, plans were made for a tournament. The first game of the tournament was played on January 16, with White vs. Black. Every week thereafter a game was played. The White team won the tournament with three games to their credit. The Yellow team was runner-up. An all-star game was played on March 13. Five players were picked from each team. Members of the Yellow and Red team played against those from the Black and White. The teams were as follows: Red and Yellow--Catherine Ford and Gloria Davis, co-captains, Mildred March, Thelma Scofield, Lottie Georg- ia, Coralin Hamilton, Dorothy Bell, Ruth Silvernail, Gertrude Reynolds, Vida Krause, Black and White--Beulah Favreau and Alta Hymers, co-captains, Evelyn Foote, Paula Benedict, Pauline Stilson, Ruth DuMond, Marjorie Prindle, Joyce Burnside, Alta Davis, Betty Conner. The teams were evenly matched and a hard fbught game was played. The score was 18-16, the White and Black being victorious. BASEBALL Because the WA-te-genw goes to press before the baseball season starts, little can be said. The team will lose members Harry Bouton and Edwin Hunt because of the age limit of players.

DRAMATICS CLUB The Dramatic Club has prepared several short.playe used in the.Gu1d- ance Classes. It also presented a play concerning the life of Stephen Fos- ter as an assembly program with the cooperation of the music department. Miss Hill is director of this club. CRAFT CLUB For those pupils interested in arts and crafts, Miss Hager organized the Craft Club. Bryan Burtch was elected president. The club has made felt novelties, various articles from cork, several freehand drawings, and a model airport. At present the club is doing some clay modeling, and are looking forward to casting some wall decorations from plaster of paris. AIRPLANE CLUB Airplane Club, recently organized by Mr. Sears, has 16 members. The boys built model planes which they entered in a contest during an assembly program. BOY SCOUTS The Boy Scouts of Otago Central School, directed by Mr. Sears and Mr. Wolff, have organized two new patrols. Delos Decker and Leon Dart the new patrol leaders, are planning numerous hikes and camping trips during the forthcoming good weather. GIRL SCOUTS For the fifth successive year, under leadership of Miss Kilquist, Girl Scouts were reorganized in September, 1939 with a total membership of 32. Of these, 10 members are of tenderfoot rank, 22, of second class. Patrol leaders elected were Beulah Favreau, Marjorie Case, Virginia Hammond, and June Dart. Corporals elected were Rosslyn Jones, Anita Bree, Leona Sullivan and Joyce Burnside. Besides completing rank requirements, the troop has enjoyed hikes, ice skating, and various holiday parties. On March l, l9LO it entered a contest with other troops of Oneonta and vicinity in memory ofJulietteLowe, founder of the Girl Scouts' organiza- tion. The prize, a girl scout photograph album, was awarded them for their wall plaque of the trefoil outlined with pennies and containing the letters WJ. L.' This plaque was made by Eleanor Wyman and Joyce Burnside. Another activity of troop 3 was a Girl Scout Investiture Ceremony, held March 12. At the service, members of the troop were presented with badges and pins by Miss Myrtle Buckley, director of the Oneonta Council. At this time, the 28th birthday of scouting was celebrated by a -short program and tea for parents and friends. Major activities of the spring consist of a trip to Canajoharie, one to Saratoga Springs, and a Field Day in Oneonta. WOOD D. VANDERWERKEN Compliments Lawyer of SOCCNY SERVICE STATION J. C.
