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. 'In the hall was a bird ,collection, and also a poster saying, uAmer1- can Education Week., Visit your schools.' Play Practice Jumble J.

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.

Vetter. The Boy Scouts of Troop 14,2 have had a very busy season under their leaders Coach Vetter, Scout Master, and Howard Weber, as- sistant Scoutmaster. During the summer months 12 of the troop attended Camp Barton which was a splendid re- cord for the size of the troop. Following the opening of school the Scouts have put on an intensive drive for scrap paper and have evidenced great success in collecting nearly ten tons to date, The troop is divided into three patrols: the Beavers, Bob Whites, and Wolves. Peter Ward is P.L. and Marvin Kilpatrick is A.P.L. of the Bob Whites: Jack Williams is P.L. and Don Weber A.P.L. of the Beavers, David Thomas is P.L. and Larry Ferris is A.P.L. of the Wolves. Jack Williams and David Thomas have ad- vanced the farthest and secured the most merit badges, having achieved the rank of Star Scouts. nKillyu is close behind. At present, the boys are attempting to win the General Eisenhower award . Candor Girl Scout Troop No. l had a suc- cessful year under the leadership of Mrs. Henry Vetter, Miss Day, and Miss Young. The weekly meetings at the music house combined work on badges, troop activities, and recre- ation. Hiking, a hayride, and the annual spring dance came under the heading of ufun.n But a nGirl Scout's duty is to be useful and to help others,n so the Scouts also spent time in collecting several thousand buttons for Netherland relief and making mittens for Rus- sian relief. The hope of Troop No. 1 is to have a Nhomen of their own some day. Meanwhile, they do their best to make Scouting valuable to themselves and to the community. Religious Education Program Religious education is being taught in the fourth and fifth grades. Father Stec, who teaches the Catholic children in these grades, meets with them in the cafeteria. Mary Heilner teaches the Protestant children in thalruownwhomerooms. ,fs- let row: CL. to R., lhrgaret Craig, Jane Moore, Verde DeWolfe, Sya ey Bolton, Betty Chaffee, Phyllis Hull, Kathyrn Hull, Nancy Seeley. 2nd rowr lrs.
