As planned at first we were to have a shorter caper and issue it mor often. Upon starting, however,there was so much to write about that our paper became dulte lengthy. In November the Students Association sent a delegation to the Empire State Press Con- fertnce at Syracuse. Our paper was awarded a superior rating for mlmeographed papers. Our Exchange manager and production mana- ger have been busy sending an issue each time tn different schools and in return ra- celving one of their copies to comoare with ours. We have also tried to remember as many alumni students as possible who we think are interested in good old C.H.S. FRONT ROW fl. to r.Q-TbCune,Fovey,Strong,Butterfie1d, Blinn, Fessenden.

The membershio fee ls 95d and for this members enjoy many privileges. Members become eligible to elect officers of the Student Council to serve as officers. Members are free to make use of the ping- oong sets and the Nickelodeon. They can take part in meetings and association func- tions. This year for the first time, athletics are not sponsored by the Association but by the Board of Education. Instead, the Assoc- iation is striving to present better assem- bly programs. A schedule of programs and speakers was made out at the start of the year.These are more instructive and more be- neficial to the students than those pre- sented previously. The Association has a governing body called the Student Council. It is comoosed of four officers, three lay-members and two faculty advisors. Marian Edwards was sel- ected as lay member to fill the vacancy left by Ernest Nichols. The individual members of the Association are resoonsible for what- ever success the Association enjoys.

2 X F FOHEWORD We have tried to make this boom a publi- cation worthy of praise, s book which our loyal students are proud to own, one which will be a standard for future publications. Today everything is growing Hmodernug fifty years from now things will still be growing Nmodernug one hundred, one thousand and more years, until infinity is reached modernization will still be going on. SCnOOlS, too, are being modernized. From the time before the smallest one-room school was founded, when mothers and fathers taught their children sll they should Know, until now, when schools, too, nave joined the mad rush of modernization we have loomed forward to e future, a tomorrow. Lighted from yesterday's embers, today's torch must always oass on to flame to s gleaming tomorrow. That is what we are try- ing to do. Inspired by UCranberry Saucen of 1924, and by succeeding Annuals, we pass on to you the record of 1939 that you may build on our foundations a finer and bigper CHS of n,ud.7w.rM4.,,. 60136 THE STAFF tomorrow. This yenr's Annual staff has shown that it is actuated by the same spirit of co- operation, the same loyalty and love for Candor High, the same desire for a worthy publication that has characterized previous staffs. Ruth Bllnn, the editor, has worxed hard to mane this Annual good. She has inspired the staff, edited copy, written copy, helped the typists, prodded class officers, gently chlded the memories of department heads, and without once getting cross, has performed those scores of thanxless jobs which go with work done scuarely and unwasted days. Gerald Estelle, our assistant editor, has certainly been our Wright-hand mann. He's FRONT ROW Cl. to r.j-Blinn, Gridley, Edwards, Fersen den.

May he have as helpful an assistant next year as he has been this year. - R.Bebel, M.Cowles, R.Rob1nson,and H.Weber gave much of their time and originality to maxe the Senior pages interesting and enter- taining. V.Lathrop and W.Kraw1c were respon- sible for the jones and did a good Job. The sports page was capably handled by R.Wells. P.McCune and P.Richards selected the mater- ial for the literary pages, and did all the necessary shortening. B.Hovey and F.Anderson chose the editorials. We created a new duty this year, that of seeing that all the group pictures needed were taken, and that the left to rlght's un- der these were correct. E.Abbey was assigned to this position. Departmental articles were written by M.Stevens, P.Haag, J.Luc1sn1, E. Bostwlcx, K.Ward, J.Lathrop, and C.R1chsrds. Margaret Grldley, the art editor, did the cover design, the title page, and all the lettering. F. Marshall msde the cartoons. M.Edwards, H.Aarn1o, C.R1chards, C.Bebel E.Hubbard, and many typing students did the preliminary typing, but Nancy Fessenden,hesd typist, typed all the pages of the final copy. K. Nichols and K. Allen set up the advertisements. Laurence Lovejoy,c1rculat1on Manager,w1th his staff, C.Burd1ck, A. Furtsck, H.Kesslen L.Perham, E.D1ller and I.Personeus, and Paul Haag, advertising manager,w1th his staff, R. Butterfield, B.Personeus, A.Howell, and F. Woodford, made the financial side of our Annual a success. Miss Parker helped with the editing, Mr. MacCoy with the writing of artloles, and Mr. Pattinson with the business managing. Mr. Ives was of lnvaluable sid in planning the snapshot page, the set-up of other psges,snd bright ideas in general. But 1t's to Mrs. Strong we owe the biggest bouquet snd high- est trlbute. She was the driving force, the one who inspired us, the one who kept us Non the jobn and marching forward. She made the Annual.

M ,xxv X 1 K i CENTRAL SCHOOLS The section of the Education Law that oertains to the forming of central schools was added ln 191U. After its amendment in 1965 central school districts began to be formed until at the oresent time there are P69 central school districts in the state of New York. There is before the present session of the legislature a bill to lay out into central districts the remaining un- centrallzed areas of the state. On Oct. 61, 1968, the Commissioner of Education laid out the Candor Central School District. This district as laid out con- tained the village Union Free School Dis- trict and seventeen common school districts. On Nov. 16, 1965 the voters of the district voted to form a central school district by a vote of APO to 96. On July l, 1959, the Hevly elected Board of Education of the cen- tral district will take over the administra- tion of all the schools of the central dist- rict. The puroose of the central school law is to orovide equal educational oooortunity for boys and girls of the rural areas of New York State. By means of additional state aid to central schools, the law attempts to eouallze the tax burden. The theory behind the olan of state aid is to tax the wealth wherever lt is found to educate the children wherever they may be. Thus, the rural dist- ricts with large ouoil populations and com- parably low assessed valuations will receive more state aid than the districts with high assessed valuations. This makes it oossible for the former districts to orovlde eoual educational ooportunltles. By eoualizing the tax rate over the district and taking advantage of the increased state aid that centralization orovides, a central school district is able with a reasonable tax rate to orovlde for its boys and girls the ed- ucation needed for the Wbetter llfe.N BOARD OF EDUCATION FRONT BQ!

Besides these, we want the rising generation to be honest, courageous, friendly and con- siderate, to believe ln and have the habit of working hard, and to be accurate and res- oonsihle. We also want youth to believe in democracy and not only to know how but also to have a desire to do his oart as a citizen of that democracy. We also want youth eduipped with inner protections against the sway of prejudice and the thrust of oropa- ganda. Above all, we want education to whet the chi1d's appetite for learning and to start each youth on a whole lifetime of inner growth and enrichment. I believe that a central school orovides the best oooortunltles available to achieve the objectives set up ln the foregoing oar- agrabh. The state leaves a large Dart of the control of the schools to Uhome rulen and ln the flnal'analys1s, we can have the kind of a school the community wants. WWW
