Music 19Lul-19145 Musically speaking, the school year fea- tured two events, a Christmas program and the annual spring concert. These programs ln- cluded the orchestra, the high school glee club, and two newly organized choruses of grade students. The Grade Choir, fifty voices from the third, fourth and fifth grades, and the Junior Glee Club of seventh and eighth grade girls, had their first season. .Nearly 150 students participated in the Christmas program, presenting music from Hansel and Gretel, an old English carol- lng scene, and a cathedral scene. What it is hoped will become the C.C.S. band'made an enthusiastic if not musically perfect start by playing at basketball games, with the help of alumni. Soloists and ensembles from these organ- izations performed at many school and commu- nity functions such as Community Club, speak- ing contest, Boy Scout banquet, senior play W'-21NLS.fP'?41'i 'K' Q, 'W' - t K ' t 7 57EkEl6Qf and assembly programs. Many members of the choruses sing in their church choirs, a service their musical training will help them perform even after graduation. At this writing, several students plan to enter the Sectional Finals at Endicott in May. , New Stage Lights Since October of last year, new stage lights have been installed in the auditorium. These lights are in two rows, made up of red, orange, yellow, and blue lights. The lights can be dim ed for various lighting effects which may be desired. Certainly, this is a splendid improvement. This addition of equipment has been a long time coming. Mr. McCune stated that we couldn't have everything at once, and that we had to wait for the lights. The stage curtains have been cleaned and rehung. This, also, is a marked improvement in appearance.

Provides, Vocational Education Candor Central School Paper Receives High State Rating At Syracuse The Broadcaster, mimeograph- ed school paper published month- ly by the students of Candor Central School, won a Class I, All- New York rating at the Empire State School Press Association convention held in Syracuse on November 3-4 when schools throughout the state competed for journalistic recognition. Candor delegates, members of a group 900 strong, were Miss Celia G. Stahl, faculty advisor, Miss Helen Estelle, editor, and Miss Eliza- beth Lohr, assistant editor. Classed according to size, the competing schools have a chance to win one of three awards- Class A, Superior, and All.New York. All-New York, the highest possible rating, is received by very few entries. VanHornesville, an endowed school with a journal- ism class to publish its paper, was the only other All-State win- ner in the small school division this year. Since 1941, Candor has received a Superior rating, being one of three in 1942, and the only one in its class in the state in 1943. Entries are judged by men prominent in the field of journal- ism, headed by Dr. Douglass Mil- ler of the School of Journalism at Syracuse University. EMPIRE STATE SCHOOL PRESS ASSOCIATION THis is TO csarirv rHA1 rn: Broadcaster ruauisnzo sv Candor Central was Awnaozo All-State nnlno AT 'rv-is Annum. Convention. Nov. 3-4, 1944 Pnssioenr Saturday morning Miss Stahl took part in a panel discussion on the mimeographed school paper. Other members of the Board of Experts were Mrs. Adeline Woodruff. adviser nf the Van. Hornesville Highlights and A member of the boards of directors of ESSPA: Mrs. Dorothy Sander- son, advisor of EllnnviIle's All- State Quill and member of the board: and Mr. Leo O. Hench and Mr. Milo Van Hall, newly appoint- ed directors of the Empire State School Press Association. When asked how a small school with few advantages could hope to win an award, Miss Stahl pointed out that Candor has no journalism class, 'that the Broadcaster was printed sheet hy sheet on a hand. fed mimeograph, and that the stencils were cut without a vari- typcr or professional assistancal Several advisors throughout the state commended the Candor dele- gates on their it-can-be-done-nm matter-what attitude. Candor lost but 15 out of a pos- sible 200 points on their rating sheet which was discussed with the judges Saturday morning. Having received a perfect score on the sports page, the feature pages, the editorials and the head- lines, the Broadcaster received the following written comments: Your paper excels in features. May we compliment you on your' headlines? Your sports page is very readable, such as to promote an interest in sports. Your editori- gllpage is attractive and color- u . The Broadcaster was first pub- lished in 1930, under the direction of Mrs. Clara Strong, who has worked with the staff continuous- ly since. Jesse Short was the win- ner of a contest to determine the name. At that time there was but one typewriter in the school and put one typist, D. F. Wells, the principal. The first editor was Mary Rounsevell, with Elizabeth Grippin acting as sophomore re- porter and Catherine Turk as printing manager. Students who' produced the winning issue this year were: Helen Estelle and Elizabeth Lohr as editors: Jane Anderson, in charge of production: Margaret Parker, art editorp and Esther Johnson, Betty Vergason, Gloria Roberts, Stella Polyniak and Dorothy Williams as page editors. Those assisting with production were: Genevieve Hart, Julianna Talarski, Shirley Storm, Alice Curtiss, Esther Lovejoy, Adrian Green, Harold Neilsen. Emaline Quick, Beverly Ferris, Betty Kess- ler, Janice Embody, Thelma Traver, Rene Austin. The circula- tion manager and exchange edi- tor is John Jennings.

Teaches Wise Use of Leisure A Local Hunters Try Skill HIF AT FIRST YOU DON'T SUCCEED, TRY, TRY, AGAINellsuooeIn Friday came. The deer were well-content ed from their feasts the day before. Today they could loaf through the woods and enjoy life. Bang! Bang! nDon't those people know what they are doing? Ohl Ohl I'd better run for my llfe,n trembled a nlce fat doe, nGuess 'I needn't rhn too fast though! It ls only Coach Vetter. He can never outsmart us.n Meanwhile ln another section of the town a blg eight point buck spied the professor of Candor Central School with a single-barreled shot gun clenched tightly ln his right hand, partly supported by his left fist which en- veloped an extra nslugn--just in case. The buck was so stupefied seeing Prof that he stood staring for several minutes. Then the professor pulled up his gun, aimed and shot. The buck jumped into the air with astonish- ment, turned and shouted to the professor, WTO hit the mark, aim above lt.' With this the buck hurried on his way. Saturday, however, a beautiful doe sur- rendered to Mr. McCune. - There ls a shortage of men, but why must a girl go DEER hunting with her DEAR to get another? Ask Dorothy Gridley. A doe fNot a buck! had to capltulate to her after a number of shots. Did she ever getaldck out of that gun! Deer antlers, serving as hat racks, are being placed in a number of local homes. Something New Has Been Added A windbreak was built during the Christ- mas vacation. This building serves three purposes. It breaks the wind blowing toward the doors at the north entrance. It stops the snow sliding off the roof from injur- ing the students or the teachers. It pre- vents the rain from falling on the concrete landing which is very slippery when icy. In the Springtime the winterlike struc- ture will be taken down. This can be done easily as it was built in sections. A new Tile Tex floor has been installed in the cafeteria by the Equipment Manufactur- ing Company of Utica. This type of flooring is in use in many public buildings today. The walls have been painted yellow. Three small buildings were built by the shop boys to serve as waiting stations. These buildings were moved into the country where children have to wait for the school bus. One is located on Cass Hill, one in Dry Brook and the other at Prospect Valley. ' With forty-one pupils under the super- vision of one teacher, each pupil cannot get sufficient help. To remedy this situation, the sixth grade was divided. The second six- th grade is housed in a part of the Agricul- ture Buildihg, with Mrs. Hugh Caple as the teacher, Celotex was put on the wall, ceiling, and floors to make the room much warmer. New lighting was also arranged. The division of this grade does not affect the gym classes, but the music classes are held separately. P f age w Assemblies The Assemblies this year have varied. They have been educational and entertalnlng and well presented. The D-Day assembly was religious ln tone with the three ministers, Rev. Butler, Rev. Cline, and Rev. Sykes, ln charge. Scriptures and prayers were said in the stillness of the auditorium while thoughts of loved ones ln action erased all frlvollty from the mlnds of the audience. The Freshman initiation was a hllarlous affair. The guinea pigs, of course, were the Freshmen under the experimentation of the sinister Sophomores. Lurklng tragedies awaited each Freshman as he was led forward on the stage to perform his part In the traditional Freshman initiation of C. C. S. Herbert Neefe, a mathematical wlzard,put on a very interesting program. His ability to figure out complicated problems ln his head amazed many of the students of high school mathematics. Wou1dn't it be wonderful to possess just a fraction of his ingenuity? The historical assembly presented for the month of February was written by Mlss Grippen and Miss Kennedy and acted by the students. lt dealt with the most significant historical events ln the hlstory of our country that happened during February. It was presented in memory of L1ncoln's and Washlng ton 's birthdays . The programs already mentioned are the highlights of the past assemblies. Some of the ones yet to be seen are a musical assembly in charge of students from the Ithaca College of Muslc, a Students Association program and an athletlc assembly under the supervision of Coach,Vetter. ' Unwelcome Visitor Persecuted 'K A visitor, eager to join the biology and algebra classes, tapped on the window to gain his admittance. All eyes were fixed in his direction. Soon a student needed to sharpen a pencil and temptation reached its peak. The teacher was not looking. The window was opened. Slowly, step by step a gray pigeon, tak- ing advantage of the open window, made his way into the science room. He hopped and flew around, getting friendly with the stu- dents. Because of this he was soon on the out side once more, looking in. The second window the pigeon entered lead into the hall. Mr. McCune was walking down the hall. Having heard about the dis- turbance Mr. Pigeon had been causing, Mr. Mc- Cune decided to take action. There was a lot of scurrying, but finally the intruder sur- rendered. Mr. Pigeon has left school, feeling that C.G.S. is no place for him. He is probably still perplexed.
