As the boy is father of 'the man who is to aspire to supreme power, one should be- gin in his youth to develop these three characteristics. Consider first self-knowledge. Altho it has been said that people know less about 'themselves 'than about anybody else, no normal person can help knowing his natural tendencies, 'talents and apti- tudes. Knowing these, he should de- velop a desire to use them to serve oth- ers, so that when need arises for the things he can do, he will offer his serv- ices. Ability is like the widow's barrel of meal-the more of one's ability he puts into action, 'the more he has left. In other words, the more one will do. the more he can do-and the more he will be askt to do. This practice can well start right in high school-or even bu- fore. If a pupil knows, for instance, that his long suit is selling tickets, he should offer to aid along this line when- ever entertainments come along. If he can print, there is always a demand for posters and other forms requiring print- ing. If he has a knowledge of transpo- sition of music, he may often come in handy when parts are printed for an in- strument in another key from that of the instrument in the school orchestra. If one has imagination in making effective costumes at small cost, there is need for her in the occasional productions that are put on in the school. And all these things bring recognition and more work to the one doing them. Know yourself, and develop capacity. -'Nl 5 As to self-reverence, a man cannot re- spect himself unless he knows he is up- right in all things. A slump in sell'- respect is a symptom of spiritual under- nourishmentf' Considering oneself, as he should, but an instrument of God. one should make it his policy to instil into his character traits that are strictly godlike-clean, wholesome and wholly admirable. Believe with King Arthur that Man's word is God in man, and therefore hold as sacred all trusts plac- ed in you. This means to be depend- able, prompt, truthful, loyal. Again, advocate justice seasoned with mercy. Desire to see justice rendered to all, even your enemies-or your rivals in athletic and scholastic activities-and enfnulalc Jacob Riis, who said, Never convict a man on circumstantial evidence. li' a schoolmate is late in meeting you the first time you make an appointment with him, don't condemn him-it may be an exception 'to his usual rule of conduct, .ind he may have a perfectly good ex- : use. Self-control is a knotty problem for some people. Some are handicapt by red-plush tempers, but they should real- ize that the man who covers his fellings and speaks carefully forges ahead in the world. About the best advice to peo ple endowed with quick tempers is the well-worn caution to think before you speak. Think up a respectful answer for your superiors-this includes teach- ers-and conciliatory replies for others -like schoolmates. True, some of the outbursts of temper of famous men have been awarded space in history: but they were usually justifiable, and the celeb- rities who gave vent to 'them had 'the other 'two qualities which help mold men for supreme power-self-know- ledge and self-reverence. 1+ - J, E lg 2 S f zx 1 0 r new 0 ini 0 Q A Q- -rg, xi . .

DON'T STARE UP THE STAIRS-STEP UP THE STAIRS. Many a young person stepping out into the world would do well to adopt this as his motto, remem- bering that there is no elevator to suc- cess. Start right up the flight at the earliest possible chance, and 'the more steps you hit, the more energy you will have to go on when you reach the top. In other words, the more opportuni- ties you take, the better prepared you will be to tackle the job awaiting you at your goal. All along the way, exert yourself to be of service to those with whom you come in contact-you may do anything from keeping your desk and locker at school free of clutter, to ac- cepting an office in a school or church organization. But whatever you do, it develops certain of your characteristics, and pads the step, so to speak, for an easier spring forward and upward. Make friends wherever you go. Look carefully at a friendship-it is a ship for a long voyage. Friendship includes fair consideration of those who oppose you, and soft answers-or none at all- to those who wrong you. Usually, the results of such actions are not obvious, outside of the further strengthening of your character, but in rare instances, the people who speak wrongly of you or to you are but testing your moral strength, and will use to your advantage your favorable reaction. So use those who spitefully use you as some of the steps to success that you shall 'tread on. Myrtle Reed says, Life is like one of those puzzles that come in a box. It is full of queer pieces which seemingly bear no relation to one another, and yet there is a Way of putting it together into a perfect whole. Each step of the staircase is part of 1ife's puzzle-an op- portunity to do or be something. Help yourself to all the pieces of the puzzle that you can without robbing your neighbor of his share. In the end you may find duplications, but they only strengthen the puzzle when it's put to- gether. For the graduates in particular, then: STEP UP THE STAIRS, and 'touch as many steps as possible. -Helen Emery Austin. 4181+ --lu-bf Ellie Staior MUSE OF A SENIOR Oh, 'tis great to be a Senior! Draw a breath and close your eyes, Think the many things we've done together- We've so many common ties. Years ago when most untidy Books piled high up to the skies, How we'd tip-toe 'round the building Lest we'd vex those Senior Guys! . Oh, 'tis fun to be a Senior! How the underclassmates shrink 'Cause we dare to leave the school house For a game of tiddly-wink. Teachers love to tell us crossly Senioritis we have got. We just sit and smile most wisely- Let them rave and fuss a lot. Oh, 'tis sad to be a Senior! Leave those wise old walls behind. Guess the times we've told them secrets, Shown our heart and soul and mind. Gathered for the last time ever, Sing that pledge song from your heart. 'Twill be over all too quickly, From Acaedmy we'll part. -Alice Janette Bailey, '30. -0f9Hr I O I O I O I I I I I O I I O CQ Q CQ! C OC.

Littleton When we came upon him. it was one of 'those breathless afternoons that give to spring its reputation. Not a sound broke the early afternoon stillness save, perhaps, a stealthy scratch of pencil against a writing pad and the occasion- al flutter of a sheet of paper as it was turned over or laid aside to give place to another clean sheet. For the Senior, the only occupant of the stage, was busy,-- writing a book to be called, Chronicles of Climbing. Pausing in his work a moment, he told us that he was writing a modern novel, which was going to end happily and for that reason, was going to win the Pulitzer prize, the Ladies' Home Journal prize, and several others offered for the year of 1930. He is sure of success for he is writing about the struggle of the class of 1930 of Corning Free- Academy for self-devel- opment, four long years of struggle against: a, the Regent's Board, b, the Regent's Examinations: and c, the C. F. A. faculty, all three elements having confronted this valiant class for the aforesaid four years perpetually and constantly threatening, Thou shalt not pass! The theme of this novel offers great possibilities, also, for it is All for fun and fun for all. Delving into the past history of the class, he found the follow- ing happy episodes and incidents with which to work it out. The Freshman re- ception and the Freshman return party of the first year, the reception given the Freshmen the second year, the Junior Fall dance and Junior Prom of the third year rise to the grand finale, the Senior Christmas Ball. With his plot and theme outlined, he now proceeds to construct the sub-plot, very necessary in a high class novel, he told us. It is to be The struggle of the class of 1930 for scholastic and social achievement. The issuance of five weeks' marks for the first term in 1926 marks the incentive moment, while the Very fitting climax is that after four years of endeavor C?J the final Stator check-up shows that twenty-five mem- bers of the class have been on the honor roll at least once during their high school period, and eighteen have earned at least one scholarship chevron, while Lorraine Van Deventer is Valedictorian, and Helen Austin, Salutatorian. Socially, and in a citizenship way, this marvelous class has had ten of its members honor- ed by election to the Sportsmanship Brotherhood. However, the biggest honor, in both scholarship and social achievement, comes to all of the class with the Commencement sheepskin The Senior includes a second sub-plot. The struggle of the class of 1930 for financial achievement to place his brain-child on the highest possible liter- ary plane. A novel with two sub-plots is bound to be good, he says, and con- tinues, This one starts when all of us had to pay a quarter for the party we returned to the Sophomores our first year here, and proceeds with some forty dol- lars cleared on the reception given the Freshmen the following year, and sixty dollars cleared on the card party given as Juniors, Cwe broke even on our dancesi, advances through the miracle of making some money, though but a small sum, on the Senior Ball, and reach- es a huge climax of clearing over three hundred dollars on the Senior Play. I might add, also, that the obstacle here is +NI31l4+ if lj 2 5 1 at 1 u r :lQ4a+--mgflfggifeifef-HBBBH-H A how we are going to spend all of this wealth. Now for a few frills to give my novel a really pro polish. I have to consid- er the speech of my characters, don't I? That's easy! What do the members of this class do more of than talking? Nothing! Then, too, we have had a lot of plays. As Freshmen we presented Square Pegs in assembly and at the tournament at Ithaca and received a kindly commendation. Sophomore year, Helen Austin wrote us a one-act play called Sam's Adventure in Content- ment. and we won loud acclaim when we presented it in assembly. Several of us figured in plays given by the Sympos- ium in our Junior year, and we had a king and queen of our prom who showed considerable histrionic ability in presid- ing over the fete. Then we led the line of presentations in the assembly program contest by presenting a night club sketch as Seniors. Leo Schosger Won first prize in the one-act play contest sponsored by the Sportsmanship Brotherhood of the state, and we presented it, along with a sketch written by William Shakespeare and Helen Austin, at the Stunt Night en- tertainment and scored two hits, no er- rors. Then we scored a home run of popular acclaim when we presented Mrs. Bumpstead-Leigh as our annual Senior Play. We have entered the sec- ond act in the Ithaca tournament, and Alice Janette Bailey and George Mc- Cauley in the county speaking contest, where they won first girls' and second boys' places, respectively. The Senior then refers to his handy pocket compendium entitled An Easy Way to Write a Novel Novel and a look of concern crosses his countenance. What's the matter? we ask. Look at this. 'The style of a writing is important' Why this class has seen so many changes in the lengths of skirts, types of coiffures, placing of waistline, strife between belts and Suspenders. great enlargement of trouser space and such vascillating sentiment concerning the color of ties and shirts and jazz sweaters, what can I do? Oh just sing in your introduction, 'This here novel, it ain't got no style, and leave it out. What's the matter now? This bally thing says that if a plot is going to be about a whole group I've got to have a few individuals to represent the group. What'll I do? How about the class oflicers? Great! A knockout idea! and he notes: Presidents, Catherine Lindsley, Robert Hovey, Leo Schosger, and Charles Nitsche. Vice-presidents: Frank Be- yea, Dorothy Batchelor, Gretchen Brun- ing, and Isabel Bonicave. For the first two years, Secretary-Treasurers, Robert Hovey and Norman Beck, and for the last two years, Secretaries, Martha Lit- tleton and Norman Beck, and Treasur- ers, George McCauley and Clifford Grid- ley. Members of Student Council, jun- ior, Isabel Bonicave, John Deneeng sen- ior, Marjorie Hood, Robert Shields. Stu- dent Council officers: Howard Wheel- er, president, Paul Clark, vice-presidentg and Leo Schosger, secretary. Rather in the background, but nevertheless decid- edly in evidence are the following, who have served as class advisors: Miss Re ihan, Miss May Waterbury, Miss Tobey, Miss Gaston, Miss McDermott, Mrs. Erwin, Miss Kretschmar, Mr. Cor- win and Mr. Miller. qQ5 Q-'0fmh2 SIHIUIMH--H lQgp Out of these I've got to have a hero and a heroine in love with each other, haven't I? Oh, Murder and a villain in love with the heroine or a villainess in love with the hero or-or-Oh, for heaven's sake, do tell me what to do with them now and he appeals hope- lessly 'to us. Personally, Senior, we don't know either. After looking around gradua- tion row in the west end, We'd be inclin- ed to say that competition' was too keen for all of those jobs. You'd better try to get along without characters, perhaps if you did have them you'd hurt some- one's feelings anyway. What, no characters? If I don't have any characters, I can't have any plot! Oh, well, who ever heard of a really classy modern novel with a plot, anyway? And cheered by this happy thought, the Senior grabs his copious manuscript and makes a hasty exit, fup- stage center! in search of a bromo with which to fortify himself before the real work begins. At this juncture we aroused from our reverie to note that the sun was low and that we must make haste if we were to tell you of our adventure before the Stator went to press.

LaCerda My dear Ann: My hair is becoming so alluring as to develop into an obsession. I trust you know a formula for stopping its trouble- someness. Hopefully, Sponsler Limbaugh. Ans. So sorry, but I possess no rem- edy at present. If desired, the address of a famous Pennsylvania chemist, an au- thority on hair, WIL BUR-y gladly be forwarded. Annie, Old Girl: My waistline is increasing by leaps and bounds. I implore a remedy. Leo. Ans. Send self-addressed envelope for either the STEIN OR VAKSDAL book on hip extermination. Dear Academy Ann: Have you ever felt miserable all over? You know: headaches, grippe, etc. Well, that's my predicament. What would you do? Frances Loy. Ans. There's just one final hope for you. Go to the HYLAND immediately. Dearest Ann: What would you suggest as a cure-all for pestiferous boys? Betty Ferris. Ans. Dye your hair first of all. Buy sun glasses, wear red dresses and then, as a final resort, if the others fail, commit suicide. Dear Flower of Knowledge: My poetic inspirations have of late become despairingly few. What will revive them? Lucille Anderson. Ans. There is an old proverb, guar- anteed for cases such as yours, which says: When the FROST is on the GRAY HAWTHORNE bush, SHAKE a SPEARE at some LONG FELLOW until he BURNS his BACON, hollers no MOORE, and hopes the snow is MILTON for good. Ann: It must be love. My sleepless nights and translucent thots all point toward it. Drugs are useless: what do you pre- scribe? Cupidly yours, John Deneen. Ans. Search until you locate the val- uable CATHER bird. Coax her within reach and then CATHER-INE to your arms. Results warranted. Miss Academy Ann: Is it true that my oratorical gifts can be of any intrinsic value Howard Wheeler. Ans. In the land of the WHIPPLE trees, there is a town named CHAR- LOTTE, where voices are golden. Op- portunity calls: seek it. Annie, Old Girl: Dan Cupid has found a target in my heart and lo, I am deeply captivated by Miss Frisbie's charms. Bookwormishly yours, Phillip Stasch. Ans. You aren't the only one thus af- flicted. But cheer up, Phil--altho she appears frigid, at heart the dear teacher is AL-right. -+'f39l+ GI I1 e 5 t EI t u 1- 0101 i llll, iiililililfliiili 10106 'WHEN wr: wx-:ne vsnvvouud' NBECK 639495-EY C.

Coaches-Craumer and Limbaugh. Head coach Craumer can honestly sit back in years to come, and with pride ponder over his thirteenth season of in- structorship back in 1929, when an en- semble of ten light, blue-clad, letter-men failed to hit their stride until late in the schedule, but regardless of this, swept to a more than successful record of five wins, two loses, one tie, and second place in County League ratings. The letter men-Flaitz, Shay, Nitsche, Deneen, Rhinehart, McCranels, Chown- ing., Cheney, Dates and Mehnert, as well as three or four new recruits-averaged but approximately 144 pounds over-ally so it remained for the coaches to stress brain-work and speed as their biggest weapons. While Limbaugh handled linesmen, Craumer was tutoring the ball-carriers, and before these two mentors were done, four of their proteges-McCranels. Flaitz, Shay, Colins-had landed All County first team berths, and the entire squad had forged its way to an enviable gridiron niche in this section. Three contests-Ilion, Hornell, and Northside-stand forth in our memories as sensational. On September 28 on Ilion's own battle grounds, we pulled a big upset by holding the champions of Central New York to a 6-6 tie, after purely defensive ball and an aerial from Flaitz to Beyea had registered. Next came a heart-breaking 2-5 County League defeat at Hornell's hands after Baldini's safety had see-sawed the score at 2-2 for three quarters. Finally, to close the schedule, our lads displayed superhuman efforts and handed North- side a thoro 14-0 pumelling. The age- old Academy fight was present at all times as Flaitz, Shay, and McCranels came thru to score. -N42 M- 6 Qw-Qfmhg Sfatnrk-m Q Looking forward to next year, we see little to gloat over, as Collins, Deneen, Burt, Dates, L. Schosger, Rhinehart, Cheney, Flaitz and Captain Shay pass from the fold. We will grieve especial- ly for-Flaitz's mighty toe and elusive hips, and Shay's sturdy torso is going to leave a big void, but nil desperandumg as our worthy coaching staff is bound to produce something of at least mediocre calibre to uphold ancient precedent.

F. A. brings to mind but one name, that of versatile Wilbert Hyland. This seventeen-year-old Junior gained for us last Autumn, a reputation that will go down in history as unparalleled or unequaled. To ring up the curtain, he placed fourth in the Rochester Journal Expo run against a brilliant field of collegiate and A. C. stars. Next, on November 1 came fifth money at Alfred University's Seventh Annual Interscholastic Meet, a sectional shield and the privilege of com- peting in the State run. Then, on No- vember 11, five days before the State event, he arrived second in Elmira's American Legion aiairg and as a fitting climax to an already laurel-bedecked season, on November 16 at Cornell Uni- versity, despite an injured leg, he romp- ed past a field of 68 great harriers for first place and a new time of fifteen min- utes for the two and three-quarter mile distance. Robert Keegan, Harold Barnard and Tevis Holmes, altho failing to arrive among the winners, also represented us.

As Diddie Willson was the only let- ter man who received his sheepskin last June, it seemed certain that our seven veteran C wearers-Flaitz, Nitsche, Collins, Deneen, Beyea, Rahilly and Al- bright--would undoubtedly make the '29-'30 campaign an epochal one. In December dopesters were predict- ing big things, but their prophecies for once proved wrong as our courtmen idled along in spasmodic flashes of form to a mediocre record of 12 Wins out of 17 games and finally Wound up in a third place County League tie with Bath. Mehnert and Deneen failed to finish the season, but after much experimenta- tion, Limbaugh formed his strongest line- up, which called for Nitsche at center. Collins, Flaitz or Rahilly on guard, and Beyea, Miles or Albright to do forward duty. I Dider Flaitz, who scored 171 indi- vidual points, and Eddie Collins, who garnered 45, landed All County guard berths and were the only two real out- standing performers in our camp, offen- sively as Well as defensively. We will certainly grieve over their loss when next season rolls around. As Fitzgerald, Beyea, Flaitz, Nitsche and Collins have represented their Alma Mater for the last time, our prospects for a pennant-Winning aggregation dur- ing 1930-'31 are not over-bright. Miles, Albright, Mehnert and Rahilly will prob- ably bear the main brunt of competition, while Keegan, Knickerbocker, Relihan, McGovern and a scattering of interclass- men can be called in to bear arms.

This is the second time in two consec- utive years that this same outfit has mon- opolized class competition, and they promise to do likewise next season. As Carlton held down the pivot berth, Chowning and Tawney won honors as guards, McCranels, Beard and Knicker- bocker roamed the forward regions with Mac running up a total of 137 points, Statnr thus becoming individual high scorer of the playoffs. After much time and deliberation spent in comparing relative merits of all contestants, Coach Craumer picked the following All-Class quintets: First Team: McCranels, Juniors CCD . . .Left forward Mehnert, Seniors ...... Right forward Nares, Sophs ....... .... .... C e nter Knickerbocker, Jrs. ...... Right guard Beard, Juniors ........... Left guard Second Team: Tunney, Sophs ..........

The Seniors, captained by LaCerda, came thru in great fashion to beat final- ly their age-old opponents, the Juniors, in a three game play-off series. Members of the graduating class's championship aggregation are: Nitsche, Flaitz, Clark, Dates, Shay, Burt, Cush- ing, Stasch, Driggins, Mincisco, Schos- ger and LaCerda. +i45i+ an-an ff?-' --tamiflu!--+l+b-QE GT li 2 5 I at f u r -. - nc-me BASEBALL Captain . .. ......

F. A. which will go down in red letters on history's ledger. After some four weeks of shifting old faces into new positions-and the task is not yet finished-our capable mentor has concocted a lineup that is going to prove impregnable, and which will prob- ably be as follows: Catchers, Stark and Cushingg Pitchers, Flaitz and Miiesg 1st Base, Clarkg 2nd Base, Deneen, Beyea and McGoverng 3rd Base, Mehnertg left field, LaBash and Keegang center field, Shayg right field, Albright. Iii the season's curtain raiser-a prac- tice 'tussle with Painted Post on May 6 -we had 'things all our own way and emerged victorious at 11-3, after prac- tical y every one had put up a fancy ex- hibition of the game's finer points, and displayed professional calibre in all de- partments, offensively as well as defen- sively. Looking forward to next year we see, as in almost every other sport, slightly more than mediocre possibilities. Beyea, R. Cushing, Cassidy, Deneen, Flaitz, Shay and Clark will move on, while a medley of under-classmen and a corps of new recruits take their place. From this scedule's pony squad there will be J. Cushing, Tong, LaBash, Tunney, Tawney and Baker returning to the fold. 1930 will probably see us making our highest bid for some time yet to comeg so let's go, fellows-we know you can- and gather into dear old Alma Mater's bosom all the sweet rewards of cham- pions. .M 46 M- gg, G 2 f a t U r ' t::::f' my l TRACK Captain . . . .,..... Wilbert Hyland Manager . .. ..... Steinar Vaksdal Coach ........... Sponsler Limbaugh All ends well that starts well. Should this phrase contain no except- ions. then our cinder and field represen- tatives are in for great showings this sea- son, for on May 3rd at Endicott they gathered 14 points unto themselves and walked off with second place Division B honors. In the Shoe City meet, Hyland romgzed home in the mile with a record- shattering time of 4.38, thus coming within six seconds of the State record and establishing a new non-oflicial Sec- tional mark. With but one month's training behind him, and this much un- der adverse weather predictions, he per- formed a feat which was truly miracu- lous, and unless predictions prove wrong he will set up a new State record before June is over. Flaitz, our general all-round jack of all sports, pulled in a 'medal by leaping to second place in the broad jump, with a distance sfightly over eighteen feet. McCranels, in the low hurdles, was runner-up, and the relay team, compos- ed of Chowning, Mitchell, Corcoran and Ormsby, strutted home for third place, while Cheney heaved his discus for a fourth niche. Altho we shall lose Flaitz and Chen- ey this June, whose places will be hard to fill, we are optimistic concerning the future. The squad at present consists of Hy- land, mile and 880, Flaitz, broad jump and 100 yard dash, Chowning, relayg McCranels, 880 and hurdles, Beyea, 880 and broad jumpg Carlton, 440 and re- lay, T.

BOYS' INTERCLASS TENNIS FALL, 1929 Eighteen boys from the four high school grades registered for last Au- tumn's interclass competition, and were given ratings, according to their respec- tive abilities, on a challenge ladder. As each player was permitted to chal- lenge a man placed two rungs above him, keen rivalry existed, and not until inclement weather closed the courts on October 18 could the three winners be accurately predicted. Much talent was unearthed and fut- ure varsity berths for more than one rising racketeer can readily be forecast. Paul Clark, James Force and Thomas McGovern triumphed over the entire field, and finally emerged in the three top positions. John J. LaCerda of the varsity acted as manager. TENNIS, 1930 Captain ............ Not yet selected Manager . .. .. . John J. LaCerda Coach ............. Wilbur T. Miller As Cary and Stoquert were the only letter-wearers to receive their sheep- skins last June, prospects for a gala ten- nis campaign this season are above nor- mal, for four C owners-Miles, Nitsch Schosger and LaCerda, as well as Clark, Force, and a veritable army of promising rookies--appear more than capable of representing us. A seven-match schedule, which will include Binghamton Central High, Ge- neva, Northside and Cook Academy, has been planned, and there is no discernible reason why our netmen should not come thru in noble fashion and cop County pennants for the fifth consecutive time. The present singles ranking ladder, whereon each man is given a location according to his comparative ability as a racketeer, is as follows: 1--Harold Miles Robert Miles-7 2-John LaCerda Louis Nessle-8 3--Paul Clark Carl Walters-9 4-C. Nitsche B. Carpenter--10 5-Leo Schosger Carl Cain-11 6-James Force James Dates-12 In the first match with Binghamton, May 3, on the Pine Street courts, our racket-weilders, handicapped by a howl- ing gale, and minus Nitsche's services, were overthrown 3-2, with Clark and the fiaming-haired R. Miles turning in winning returns. Schosger, Nitsche, Clark, Dates, Cain and LaCerda will obtain their diplomas this year, thus sadly depleting our ranks. But Miller is optimistic about his future chances for '31, as his profes- sional eye discerns much good in a few lower classmen, many of whom will be on hand for three years or more yet to come. +i48l4+' G P f a f U 1' GIRLS' VARSITY BASKETBALL Play lair! is the motto of the hill lassles. Altho the girls did not have so good a season this year as in previous years, their average was no less than mediocre. The subs of 1929 proved valuable as- sets this season, for only two of the reg- ulars from last season were back. Cap- tain Geraldine Husted carried out the good work of her predecessors and played a good steady game thruout the season. Gerry graduates this year, but the team is certainly glad she is coming back to take a post graduate course, and they have elected her to lead their team again. Dorothy Roland played her position excellently this year and will be back to help out the 1931 team. Alice Giblin started the season, but left school, when her posi- tion was ably assumed by Eda Tahany, who decided to come back for a post graduate course. Skeeter , the small, is always in the game fighting hard for her Alma Mater. Miss Ehlers certain- ly showed good judgment when she picked Ann Murphy, who is a wizard when it comes to basketball. She and Marjorie Hood made a fine showing for the Academy. Ann will be back next year, but we are sorry to lose Mari thru graduation in June. Rita Hart and Frances Chowning both played the right forward position so well that it was hard to pick either one of them, so Miss Eh- lers alternated them, giving both a chance to make the fine showing they did. We are fortunate to have both of 'these girls back with us next year. Genevieve McClure, a sub, earned her letter this year. She likewise played her position well, but will not be back next year. Mention should be given to the other subs, some of whom lacked but a few minutes to earn their letter. F-orence Shaller, Anna Farrell and Hel- en Morrison will be back next year to take the positions left vacant by the graduates. The girls opened the season with Painted Post and defeated them 20-17. In the next game, the C. F. A. girls sting- ingly defeated Addison 10-4. The girls -'vi 49 P+ -aaaa-wn-l---1-i f-lm--will: if 11 e 5 1 a 1 o r ----oem were all playing excellent basketball. The third game of the season was with Bath, but this was called off after the first half by request of the Bath coach. We met with a disappointment with N. H. S. Our girls played a good game, but were defeated 20-14. On January 31 we journeyed to Westfield and de- feated the team there 25-22. This was a well earned game. February 4 was our second game with Addison and we were defeated 17-16. Dansville was our next foe. The Dansville girls have not been defeated in two years, but the C. F. A. girls, altho they did not alter this record, played an excellent game and held them to the score of 29-22. Our team was having hard luck. They were not up to their standard and were again defeated by N. H. S. 32-7. The game with Painted Post on February 25, in which we were defeated 35-7, made a rather inglorious ending to the season. However, girls, We are proud of you. for you have fought admirably for your Alma Mater. We wish you all kinds of luck for a successful 1931 season. Our coach, Miss Ehlers, will be with us again next year. We are indeed for- tunate to have such a good coach and such a good sport. Those who received the varsity C are: Captain Geraldine -Husted, Marjorie Hood, Frances Chowning, Rita Hart, Dorothy Roland, Eda Tahany, Ann Mur- phy and Genevieve McClure. Outside of their regular schedule of games, the Varsity girls challenged the Business Women to play. The Business Women's team was made up of four grads of the Academy, and two for- mer N. H. S. Varsity players. Try as they might, this team could not beat the pass work of the Academy Varsity. The final score was 36-14. When the Varsity regulars defeated the,wBusiness women, the subs sat up and declared that they too could conquer the ladies of the business world. Full of confidence, the subs played the game and emerged victorious, the final score being 16-6. Line Up Dorothy Roland ........ Center Guard Ann Murphy ...........

It was played in the manner of the Round Robin, each team playing each other two times. The Juniors and Sophomores tied, and so a third game was necessary. The Juniors won this game 7-4. The inter- class basketball champs have high hopes of making the 1931 varsity team, and from all appearances, several of them will reach their goal. Members of the winning team were presented with num- erals, and the silver cup was presented to them. Members of the team are: Alice Hutton, Virginia Woods, Helen Dunleavy, Florence Featherman, Alice Reagan and Dorothy Lagerbom. +150 14 - F lZdfl0lIS rjlfewesn om ..a 4-f Il m 11 B as 1 EI 1 .1 STATOR STAFF, 1929-1930 Editor-in-Chief .................................

There are the functions of the composer, of the performer and of the listener. The composer is he who steals from the latent crags of his mind the theme of the lay which will bring so much hap- piness to his audience. He does his share of the work with the idea of striv- ing to appeal to the people who are eager to catch his motive. It is his sole purpose to bring forth a sympathetic feeling in the persons to whom the utter- ance is addressed. While the perform- er plays to a real audience, which mani- fests its appreciation of the artist's in- terpretation by applause or an awed si- lence, the composer's audience is pure- ly imaginary, and ofttimes the applause is not forthcoming until after the writ- er's death. The next function is the connecting link between the composer and his lis- teners. This is the function of the per- former. Altho the musician has a sim- i'ar longing to awaken a sympathetic understanding among his people, he performs this function by means of a thing that exists, whereas the composer must rely on the inspirations and feel- ings of his mind. The performer must have a keen knowledge of the writer and the thot that the composer wishes to portray. He must also be familiar with his audience so that he knows in what manner they would best appre- ciate the work of the master. The next and perhaps the most ser- ious of all is the function of the next class-the class of the listener. Few people go to a concert for the sole pur- pose of enjoying the music. Many times about me I have heard such re- marks as these: I think the one on the end is the best looking, don't you? He looks dreadfully nervous, poor man. Therefore the statement is true that the musician and the composer can- not be entirely sure whether the ap- plause is for their work or some other attribute far removed. But then, too, there are they who have that feeling of sympathetic emotion awakened in them and to whom the utterance of the mas- ter thru his interpreter seems most king- ly. Thus the third function is shrouded in mystery, altho it is most necessary for the forward movement of music. Thus when all the three functions work together side by side, the enjoy- ment and pursuit of music and happi- ness cannot help being manifested. -+flQ53l4 - in ,1----e---- +74-4--A-?yg9---9-Q dl I1 2 5 f 21 1 g 1' Qv .. . -4 7.4-1.1, .

THE BAND A big step forward in the ever up- and-coming music department at the Academy was the organization in Janu- ary ofthe band, whose membership now exceeds sixty. Mr. Breon conducts classes forthe individual instruments twice a week and combines them for band practice every Wednesday and Friday noon. This group, which has shown remarkable development in the few months of its existence, embodies all the brass and wood wind instruments of the orchestra, with the sousaphone in addition. This is a modified tuba, and it performs for the band the same func- tion that the double bass does for the orchestra-forms the background for the harmonies of the other instruments, and is the backbone of the unit. Har- old Youngstrom and Robert Cox are tackling the sousaphone this season. DECEMBER 6 MUSICALE This morning's assembly was devoted to the first musicale of the season, which was in charge of Mr. Corwin. The program offered a pleasing variety of numbers, rendered by the Senior Or- chestra, the Austoby Piano Ensemble, an octet of advanced violin pupils, and the Junior Boys' Glee Club. ORCHESTRA ACTIVITIES During the year, the Senior Orchestra furnished the musical trimmings at the presentation of the Senior Play, MRS. BUMPSTEAD-LEIGH, on March 6 and 7, at the Commencement exercises of Corning's Americanization classes on March 3. At the presentation on April 11 of C. F. A's first Stunt Night, and at the evening service at the First Presby- terian Church on May 25. THE ORCHESTRA'S CONCERT TOUR The Senior Orchestra is stepping out this spring to give concerts in the small orchestraless towns about the city. The first of the series was presented on the evening of March 28 at Montour, +fi56l-1+ m 2 513115 I where orchestra numbers, led by Mr. Corwin, were interspersed by solos by Helen Austin, pianist, Sidney Bailey, Violinist and Dorothy Batchelor, harpist. The orchestra plans to give similar pro- grams at Painted Post and Watkins dur- ing the remainder of the school year. ELMIRA FESTIVAL On the afternoon of Friday, May 2, the Senior orchestra members skipt school and drove to Elmira to partici- pate in the first annual concert of the Southern Tier School Music Festival Association, where Mr. Corwin's orches- tra rendered Ballet Music from Cop- pelia , by Delibes, and Credo, by La Haesche. Other orchestras from this section which played in the concert were those representing the high schools of Corning Northside, Ithaca, Endicott, Binghamton and Elmira. Annual non- competitive Festivals, such as this initial one, circulating among the various cities of this section, are planned in the belief that they will prove an inspiration to all interested in music education. Each community will benefit as the partici- pants return with an enriched exper- ience gained thru cooperative effort and good fellowship. ANNUAL CONCERT The sixteenth of May saw the pres- entation of the fifth annual concert of the Glee Club and Orchestra, at which the Misses Janet Dow, coloratura so- prano, and Dorothy Batchelor, harpist, were the soloists. Miss Dow graduated from the Academy with the Class of '23, and it was with pleasure that we pres- ented her in concert at her Alma Mater. The climax of the program was reached in Braddock's Defeat, an unusually descriptive cantata by Henry L. Cross, to the rendition of which number a piquancy was added by the fact that the composer, a personal friend of Mr. Cor- win, was among the audience. The ac- companists for the evening were Mrs. Thomas Hart, Ca-therine Lindsley and Helen Austin. LOSSES THRU GRADUATION The passing of the Class of '30 will take away the largest number of orches- tra members that any graduation has ever taken in the eight years' history of Mr. Corwin's organization. In this year's graduating class are Helen and Gladys Schroeder, first violinsg Clifford Gridley, second violin, Helen Austin, double bassg B. Emery Saunders, Philip Driggins and James Dates, cornetg Har- old Stasch, tromboneg George McCauley bellsg and Catherine Lindsley, piano. These people have contributed much to- ward making this year the most success- ful ever for C. F. A's Senior Orchestra. -'Hf57l+ urar GI ly e S 1 u t n r Y C iOilli'lllfUlOlO O ORGAN I ZATIONS. , muoceva ' Q s maon. nm cm if - 'Ev , M ' V L ' , and -1 2' .

GI I1 2 5 t at t n r :Q-441--wlfl111-ff-ff-ff-:menu OUR DEPARTMENT By Martha E. Littleton It is generally conceded that, next to the editor-in-chief and the business manager, the literary editor has about the hardest row to hoe. We agree with that opinion. Not that we have worked out fingers to the bone, or destroyed the stock of red pencils in C. F. A.-we haven'tg but surveying the following ma- terial just before closing day, we are convinced that we should have. Notwithstanding, we have made some effort. Do you remember us a rather permanent fixture in assembly for some months, telling you about the contest we were staging? At last the overture has been played, and you are about to wit- ness the finished production-the best story written in C. F. A., and the most outstanding essay. We hope you like them as much as we do, altho we did have considerable difficulty in reaching our decision. We wish to acknowledge hereby the contributions from the Junior High School. Your essays were fine. We liked them, and are sorry we cou1dn't include them, but we had to have the space for some which are more repre- sentative of C. F. A. We spent several delightful afternoons considering your poetry and have included all we possi- bly could cram in without giving the poor printer cataleptic fits. Cheer up! If your piece did not make the grade this trip, you have at least four more chances to reach the printed page. Pity the poor seniors-after this they are thru. When this book is out, they either sink or swim. Do they need a life-line? THOTS OF A SENIOR By Lucille Anderson It seems to be the established thing for seniors to consider their graduation as the door opening into life. But is it? For me it is not. I look back at four beautiful years that the past has given me. Can it be that those years were only a preparation for life? Oh, no! Those years were life. Ecstacy, trag- edy, gladness, sadnessg joy, sorrow, laughter, tears-all were there. In reminiscence, I can smile at the trage- dies of freshman year that have now become pathetic little comedies. Yet once those same little things, that in memory yield a smile, were poignant grief. It is expected of us, as seniors, now to regret our wasted f?l time. Regret it? If I had it all to do over, would it be done differently? I do not think so. I would dream the same dreams, love the same people, learn the same things, and live as I have lived. Perhaps I would dream even more and do even less. Af- ter all, real life is only the lesser part of a vast dream, the awful dream of cre- ation. T0 THE SCRUB By John J. l..aCerda Not to the natural genius whose small efforts bring him easy success, but to the little fellow, the scrub -he who plods along day after day preparing himself for opportunity-in this miniature lit- erary effort dedicated. General Ulysses S. Grant was once considered a dullard during his Wcst .M 62 M- qQ m--hnuqimhg Bfatnfzbaw--f lh Point military days because he often lapsed into eccentric dreams of his na- tion's future, Pericles, whose verile wis- dom we still admire, spent week after Week in seclusion, studying the problems of Athens while his fellowmen took part in revelryg Henry Ford, John Erskine, and Walter Chrysler interested finan- ciers in their inventions while engineers scoffed. But backed by the strength of their own convictions, these men-admitted members of the average type -devel- oped and made themselves ready for op- portunity. And when it did come, the United States threw off its slave yokeg Athens became the greatest Greek city- state of all timeg and the world rode in comfort, with purring servants possess- ed of a hundred horsepower ready to leap on command. So, altho your attempts may for a while win you but sneers and a place on life's second-team, do not fall into the rut. Set a goal, work diligently, strive, persevere, and establish a background that will enable you to handle a first- team task. And when the time is ripe, you will receive a correct ranking. THE KITCHEN CLOCK By Martha E. Littleton Some few years ago, it took up its res- idence on the shelf above the sink, new, shiny, and snugly confident of its powers -a small alarm clock of questionable manufacture with a price tag relegating it to culinary ranks. Since then it has surveyed us from other vantage points: the top of the oven-where, unfortunately, some of its intricate workings developed a slight in- disposition caused by the heat-the top of the cabinet, and now the top of the refrigerator. Poor Has Been ! Its confident, jolly expression has fled, and with it, its dignity. No longer protect- ed by kindly and shielding glass, the face wears a look of anxiety and embar- rassment, perhaps always cognizant of the fact that its minute hand is now most improperly but half the length of its slower companion, its pomposity desert- ed with the polish of its once gorgeous nickel. An air of uncertainly arrived with the departure of the left leg, and now the poor clock appears positively uncomfortable as one fickle rim, no long- er restrained within the pale of decency by the necessary bolts, curls impishly heavenward, displaying most of its in- timacies to the gaze of a curious public. Notwithstanding its personal state, this once impudent but now bedraggled time-piece still assumes absolute author- ity to set the time of day for our house- hold of seven. Does it enjoy this authority? I think not. But it feels that its duty is to keep running until we shall cease to depend on it. And we have not sufficient stam- ina to relieve it by either providing the necessary repairs or a new clock, but instead are content to drift along de- pending on the erratic incapacity of our old clock in the kitchen for the important guidance which should be supplied by a dependable and competent time-piece. Look about and take note of the clocks on which you are ordering your life. Are any of them rusty, tottering standards which you should and could mend or replace? Look to thyself, also. Are you playing the kitchen clock for some one else? What can you do about it? +i63l4'r ffl I1 e 5 1 a t n r ,iiggiglj Prize .Story A MYTH By Alice Janette Bailey You, students of Corning Free Acad- emy, should know the myth of our out- standing football game which takes place every Thanksgiving Day. It is be- cause of this that every fall when the leaves are changing color to crimson and gold and the flowers bid adieu for the winter, our football team starts to grind for the usual Turkey-Day battle. Our men willingly give up the skin on their knees and 'knuckles just to uphold the standard of that old myth. One day, long ago, a little boy set out to fish on the banks of Dry Creek. The Iish did not seem to pluck the wiggly worm from the hook. He would become provoked, and at regular intervals ad- vance upstream. Now on the opposite end of Dry Creek was another little boy. First he'd try that big fat squirmy worm, then the tiny slimy one, none produced results. Continually he would move downstream. About noon the two fish- er-bodies met. After the topic of fish was exhausted, football took its place in the line. Both boys were crazy about it, but had thoughts as opposite as the North and South Poles. Oh, no, you're all wrong, declared Craumer, it takes brains to Win the game. . Go on, it takes strength, insisted Jacoby. The battle continued, each lad more sure of his opinion than ever be- fore.. Finally a decision was reached. I tell ya what we'il do, says Crau- mer. When we gets to be big men, we'1l coach two football teams-mine brainy fellows, yours strong ones. Craumer and Jacoby shook hands. It was a solemn moment. Never were they to forget it. Little did they realize the importance of this agreement. About twenty years later, all Steuben County was excited. A new type of foot- ball game was to be held at Pyrex Park on Thanksgiving Day. It seemed quite incredible that a contest between brains and strength could cause so much discus- sion. The Evening Leader devoted pages to it. Radio sets had been set up so all the world might hear the results. It was as widely talked of as the eight- eenth amendment. Craumer and Jacoby were at the bottom of it. Craumer had run an ad for over a year in the New York Times requesting all brainy men to report every night at the C. F. A. campus at three o'clock. Jacoby had ransacked a crazy house, and was training his men with greatest confidence. Seats were reserved months ahead. All the stores ordered an extra supply of snappy clothes. The elite of United States had made reservations at the Ho- tel for that date. Bets ran into the mil- lions, a fifty-fifty battle seemed to be the belief. Such preparations had never been heard of! Thanksgiving Day at last arrived, clear and cool. About twelve o'clock the people swarmed at the gates and de- manded admission. The field had rows and rows of beautiful colored bleachers, bue and white on the South Side, orange and black on the North. The friends of Jacoby's team had been permitted 'to at- tend the game. What a sight they were -all decked out in their Sunday-go-to- meeting clothes! A smart blue and white roadster drove up. Constance O'Brien, clad in a gorgeous costume brot direct from Paris by airplane, stepped M 64 iw.. qlgQ Qe-twqimhk Stlltnrl-b414 m l0XI out of it. Gretchen Bruning passed the gates, and her knot of hair was especial- ly obvious. It was rumored about that she had had it stretched for this event! Paul Clark had a new stick of gum, plus some striking blue and white checkered socks. The Leader had presented Johnnie La Cerda with a pair of stilts so that he might see the game with a less interrupted view. Gordon Saunders, Raymond Cushing, and John Hostetter ordered stovepipe hats, and looked handsome in them! Martha Littleton bought a lorgnette so that she might dis- tinguish the players with more ease. It was a great day! The greatest scene of confusion was at the oiiices of the coaches, where the respective teams were receiving last min- ute advice. There was one person, the captain of Jacoby's team, who seemed to be the outstanding feature. Every one wondered concerning him. His name, Chug-Chug, and his place in life were caused by his belief that he was a train. Frequently he would start off on a run, murmuring, Chug-Chug, chug-chug. Jacoby had immediately seized him as their chance for success. If it would be possible to give him the ball and start him down the field, the game' was won. There was no one who could compete with him for strength. He tipped the scales at three hundred pounds. Ja- coby's last words were, Chug-Chug, re- member you're a train, and can't go un- til you get the ball. That's the fuel which makes you go. Get it and don't let any- body take it away. It was obvious that Chug-Chug understood. He'd win the game. Coach Craumer had warned his men to watch this man. He was the only dangerous one. Everyone lost his poise when the two teams galloped onto the field. Hats were thrown into the air. People cheer- ed until they could scarcely whisper. At last the Whistle sounded. The game had commenced. What a thriller it was! First Craumer's men held the ball, then Jacoby's. Thus the score favored first one team then the other. Chug-Chug seemed to be a failure. He could not grasp the ball and keep it. His name faded on the spectators' lips. Jacoby began to look worried. The last quarter had commenced. No outstanding events had happened. People were becoming restless and losing interest. All at once from the center of the field a man got the ball and made for the blue and white goal. The field was not clear but he darted in and out, using his alert mind. A touchdown! Some people looked downcast as they saw that brand new ball pass from their possession, others jubilant. Everywhere excitement pre- vailed. There was but three minutes to go. The only was Jacoby's men might win was to give the captain the ball. By some miracle Chug-Chug graspt it! With it, he seemed to receive that exceptional strength which was the terror of the op- ponents. He gave one look at the goal, clenched his fists, bent his head, and was off! Coach Craumer's men darted at him, seized him, but always he would jerk away. At last the field was clear- the game was practically tied! Sudden- ly Chug-Chug looked up at the section where his friends were. There was a red light! He stopped dead still. All was silent. The final whistle pierced the air. Susie, Chug-Chug's steady, had be- come so excited at her sweetheart's bril- liant play that she had removed her new red hat and waved it high in the air. -M 6514+ G I! 2 5 f 21 t U 1' Zbyfgg.-vmglfgrffr,-AA'::A:--511, 4, gg :QQ MISTY MORNING Morning's misted loveliness Awakes a pang of love For all the sweetness of the earth And veiled skies above.

Prize Essay THE REPORT CARD By Marguerite Madigan, '31 It is the bane of the small boy's life, it is the curse of all high school students, it is a modern implement of tortureg it causes even the stoutest hearts 'to waver, and it disguises its great, terrifying pow- er under the mild and unassuming name, Report Card. At the very mention of this fateful word, a hundred little elec- trical sparks shiver and slip up and down the spine, and a thousand little nagging devils of remorse begin to prick the con- science with their wicked little forks of memory. Back the tortured student's mind scurries, striving in vain to piece together the jumbled images of past re- citations. Frantically he wracks his muddled brain, seeking one small ray of hope, and when no comfort is forth- coming, he grasps his head with both hands, and in a frenzy of despair, he prays ardently for a sudden siege of sick- ness, a broken leg, arm-anything to ward off that inevitable moment when he must go, see, and be conquered. Oh! it is very true that this much- dreaded object is but a square of yellow cardboard, yet it is the means of inf'lu- encing many a lax and lazy student in such a way that he will drop his slug- gish manner and ply more steadily at his detested lessons. This amazing re- formation is due not only to his own dis- gust for the marks printed upon the card, but also because of the very great dis- pleasure he is sure to encounter from un- reasonable parents who will not or can- not understand-that the value of the report card isn't all it's cracked up to be. A severe talking tog a few plead- ing remarksg and, if all else fails, a threat of dire punishmentg and the poor cowed student is quite ready to agree that the value of report marks is very great indeed. And so, in the first stages of his re- formation, the subdued student plugs valiantly along until after a few days his forced enthusiasm begins to wane and finally dies an unholy death by suf- focation, while the student turns his at- tention wholiy to the sports and other various activities in which he indulges. And then the weeks slide slyly by and the student wakes from his blissful trance with a fearful start, and beads of perspiration bathe his noble brow as he realizes, with a queer sinking sensation in the region of the heart, and a feeling of utter panic, that the dreaded day has dawned at last, and that he must once again go thru that nerve-wracking or- deal of receiving his five-weeks' marks. Oh! how he curses his slackness, as he sits biting his fingernails in his despair, while he waits to view this awe-inspiring object, the Report Card, which will eith- er raise his spirits to the heavens or dash them to the earth. WHAT MAKES MYSTERY? By Helen Em-ery Austin In the heart of the hilly residential -Wi 6614? s45Q Q--pgimhg Sfgfgrlii--Q -up section of the city, a magnificent dark brick manor of the half-timbered English style rears its many-gabled head. About six years ago my particular group of friends and I often took a devious course home from school for the sole pleasure af passing by and speculating about the stately mansion. Besides being closely surrounded by thick, mosquito-breeding shrubbery and dozens of evergreen trees, to our youthful minds the house was also shrouded in mystery, and we delited in referring to it as the haunted house. Now what was so mysterious about the place? It was inhabited-by flesh and blood, at that-whereas according to tradition, haunted houses are always deserted, and frequented only by appa- ritions. But we never saw anybody emerge from the vine-clad postern gate, or disappear into the yawning black cav- ern that was the front door, and this apparent lack of human occupants led to many surmises about the management of the household. It was, I suppose, be- cause so few spectacular and picturesque incidents occurred in our commonplace daily lives that we had to retort to our imaginations. So it was that we built mysteries about everything the least bit out of the way concerning the old, old house. For instance, altho the objec- tionably thick hedges were neatly and regularly trimmed, we never happened to be present when they were clipt. Therefore we concluded that 'the garden- er must be horribly disfigured, and that to avoid the curious stares of passers- by, he plied his huge shears only by night -always a romantically moonit night, however. No sudden or inexplicable death had ever occurred at the mansion, but the owner of the gray colonial home- stead on the estate next door had hang- ed himself in the garrett a few decades before. So we mixt that incident in with our other speculations about the brick house, and whispered among ourselves that the suicide's ghost hovered about the attic windows of the brick house, where they poked themselves above the stunted evergreen and shrubbery. The flesh-and-blood inhabitants had not rel- isht the fontnightly visits of the spook, and finally, not so long ago, the mistress of the house had plunged a glittering dirk deep into its hollow chest. The snow-white blood of the unearthly caller had spilled on the window casings, and that was why they seemed so stary among the dark red masonry and the blackened timbers. We were never a bit afraid of the house, even with all the fantacies we'd built about it, and we dreaded the day when it would be just like all the other houses in the naborhood. That time has come. A new family has moved in, and they do not wait until dark falls or un- til not a soul is abroad before they ven- ture out into their spacious grounds. We see them nearly every time we pass the old house. The shrubbery has been haul- ed out and away, and therefore the ser-- vices of a bent and wrinkled gardener are not required. The white easements have been painted black, and there is nothing left beyond the architectural style of the house to distinguish it from its nabors. There is no irregularity about which a hair raising tale may be woven. But the larger part of our im- agination has gone, too, and in this day of color and lots of windows, air and sun- shine, we are glad to see the sunlight unmolested by gloomy foliage on its way to the dozens of windows in the house. Likewise, things are happening these days, more or less, and we have not the -0i67l+ 45131-1 --'--- .-. m-49-Q G II 9 5 1 51 1 g 1- :pq-.-m::11f1:1::f,f .,-, - :mf----M f time or need to draw on our imagina- tions to make our days livable. DEAD The little girl of me is dead. She died the other day. She drew her last free playtime breath, And then she went away. The little girl of me is gone. She left me all alone. She went without a word to say And left me here, quite grown. The little girl of me is dead. Wherever you may be, Please know that I'm not mourning you--- I'm fond of this new me. --Anonymous. GREEN CHEESE By Helen Emery Austin The YOUNG BACHELOR maid named Elvira Deventer stirred a BAILEYf into the savory FOXmeat in the SAUSTIN, an alLOY of copper and aluminum, then turned to serve her brothers, Benjamin and Gerald. BENNETT some BERNT RICE then wanted MOORE, while Ger- ald observed: Here comes your boy-friend-the one who CLARKS down at the shoe-store. See how he SAUNDERS thru the rain with a new topcoat over his arm. FARRELLvira, looking out, cried, How many HUSTED has in his new coat! I Wonder how much it KOSTYm? Whereupon Gerald queried, Why such an interest in him? He used to come at your BECKand call, but after he raised CAIN at your wearing such SCHOSGERts, I understood he fell from the NITSCHE used to fill in your heart. Yes, admitted Elvira, he used to give me FITZGERALD. Now Mc- CLURES me, but his conceit makes me want to pound him to a jELLI. OTTawa isn't far enuf away from me when it comes to Mac FaGINN-AN' I don't mean maybe! ROBERTS when he hugs me, and so now Ted MCCAUL. EY looks now 'sif he's goin' to propose-he bears a BOX of DATES which he SHIELDS zeal- ously from the elements. As the church SAXTON next door rang the bell for prayer meeting, Ted burst in upon the group. USARTER bother you, he apologized, but may I eat with you? I'll furnish my own pat of butter and gill of milk, setting a PATTENGILL on the table. Elvira tosst him a CUSHING, and he helpt himself to a LITTLETON of watermelon RHINE, HARTy GRIDLEY cakes and syrup, to- gether with pickles fresh from a barrel O'BRIEN. I'm aSHAYmed to think how I ob- jected to your clothes, began Ted. Let's go off and make up. So they donned their HOODS, and went down the LANE to a BONICAVE. Leaving his GALUSHAS outside, he SCHROEDER inside, where they loving- ly discusst honeymoon FLAITZ over the north and south poles, and joyfully sang CARROLLS of reunion. D RIGGINS they wore were thin, and the damp air of the cave penetrated Elvira's JOINTs. She began to sneeze: HZDANOWSKI! ZDANOWSKIV' and straightaway de- velopt a 'terrible GOFF. MORAN MOORE she sneezed until Ted offered to take her to a doctor. As he started to WHEELER across lots in a barrow that stood handy, he M M. qal m--Qfnimhg jfaturk-d Q said to himself, It's GOODYEAR not much heavier. He helpt the FAR- RELLvira into the moving VAN DEVEN- TER owned and operated, and laid tlie weakened girl on a BURThlike affair in back, while he hitcht up the HOSTET- TERed nearby. He hurled a DURKINto the heart of D 'OWLING dog which challenged them at one corner, and LYNCHed the trafiic cop who opposed them at another. Blinded by his speed, Ted crasht thru a bridge into the swollen river, and down, down thru DE WATERS went the lovers to DAVIES' locker. EVERYBODY OUT! By Wilbert Hyland, '31 I wish something would happen in this old berg, a blacksmith was saying as a youth of twenty-three strode past his shop. Hardly had he uttered the words when-HEXTRA! EXTRA! Read all about the million-dollar oil discovery. Extra! came the shrill cry of a passing newsboy. Give me a paper boy, exclaimed Gienn Taylor, as he handed the youth a coin. As he entered the shop, he was immediately surrounded by the crowd of thrill seekers who made up the gather- ing in the shop. What's up? asked the youth. 'Fortune in Oil Discovered', Glenn read aloud. 'Farm of Joseph Morgan yields fortune in oil! More than a mil- lion dollars' worth to be pumped, experts say'. Glancing up, he noted the keen interest of all in the shop, then contin- ued: Joseph T. Morgan, a local farm- er, in the izear future will, no doubt, be the richest man in these parts, due to a discovery made on his farm by officials of the Standard Oil Company. They ex- pect to extract more than one million dollars' worth of crude oil within three months from the time of the first blast- mg. 'Late tonight a special train will be dispatched to the north siding of the local yards, bearing enough explosives to destroy a small city. They will be used to shatter the bed of rock that seems to cover the entire area of oil. Work in extracting it will begin tomor- row.' Yessir, I'm going to be there the first thing in the morning to watch them handle them explosives, said the black- smith. I've never seen a drop of that nitro-glycerin, and I've always wanted to see what it looked like. That's just what I'm aimin' not to see, put in a second old man. Fact is, I'm so blamed scared of that stuff that I'll be wearin' cotton in my ears long enuf after it's all over for the cot- ton to take root. Well, men, if you'll excuse my excite- ment, I'll be going home to tell Mom and Grand-mom the news, and Glenn took his departure. Dancing and jumping, the noisy little alarm clock brought Glenn out of a heavy night's slumber, and it was fully twenty seconds before the clock was cap- tured and silenced. Rising from the breakfast table, Glenn announced, Well, Mom, I think I'll watch 'em blow the big well this morn- ing. Everybody in town'll be there. I'll bet there will be- Everybody get ready to get out in a +i69l+ mi-:3lTIa....q ch. gfllfuf - .... H , hurry, came the well-known voice of the yard detective: There's a car of tar on fire over near those blamed explos- ives. The whole yard is condemned. Looking out of the north window, Glenn verified the detective's state- ment. There in the distance, with snakelike motion, rose an oversized col- umn of what looked like ink. Mother, declared Glenn, they're going to need help over there. You get ready to leave, and I'll go over there and do what I can. Without Waiting for an answer, he grabbed his cap and was gone. Entering the yards, he noticed for the first time the excited throngs of people rushing as if mad toward the huge col- umn of smoke that seemed to emerge from the river. By the time he had reached the scene of the fire, a third company of firemen was alighting from a yet moving fire truck, and was prepar- ing for immediate action. One hour later found every company of firemen in the city at work with the blaze, which was rapidly spreading-all too rapidly -toward a car, crimson in color, which could not be mistaken for any but that containing the deadly explosives. Everybody out! came the hoarse cry of Chief Randall, twenty minutes later. He had mounted a boxcar and, megaphone to his mouth, ordered the police to clear the yards of every woman and child. He then placed the mega- once more. Men, knows the fire is out phone to his lips every one of you of control, and is already blistering the of explosives. We paint on that car must get that car over onto the river sid- ing. Can any one here drive an en- gine? Could any one there drive an engine? Could Glenn? He had not spent idle hours on an engine for years with his father without learning. Glenn could drive an engine, and he would! Push- ing his way thru the crowd, he exclaim- ed, I'll risk it, chief! Can you really drive an engine? asked the fire chief. Then hop in that engine over there and switch that car of 'nitro' over onto the river siding. Our only chance lies in getting it where we can dump it into the river! Slowly Glenn backed the engine to- ward the condemned car, so slowly that it teased the strongest set of nerves among the watchers. Would the coup- ling impact be enough to set off the li- quid death in the boxcar? Silently,-except for the crackling of the burning boards, the cars coupled. Slowly at first, then with gradually in- creasing speed, the car was switched to the river siding. This was an old sid- ing that was condemned because the foundation had been washed away by the river, leaving a great gap under the tracks. Riding a loaded car and engine upon this siding doubled the danger. There would be no hope at all if the sid- ing should give way under the weight of the engine! Pressure hoses were pointed into the air, spraying the car, for fear of setting off the glycerin by force of impact. The fire by now was thru the sides of the car. Hooks were set, and the car needed but little force to send it toppling into the river. The jar, after all, might set off the contents, but there was a chance. The fire would set it off. There was no chance. One chance left--they had to risk it. +170 14+- e qQ Q--hfflimhg Bfafnflfg--Q ny All together now, shouted Randall, It's our only chance. Creaking and snapping, the car tum- bled into the river. With a splash, the hissing monster tumbled and sank, omit- ting a column of steam nearly as large as the column of smoke from the tar had been. A few' seconds later the hissing stopped and the steam ceased. The danger was over! CHEMICAL ANALYSIS OF A WOMAN By Steiner Vaksdal AN ELEMENT-Woman. SYMBOL-A member of the human family. OCCURRENCE-Can be found wher- ever man exists. Seldom occurs in the freer native state. Quality depends on the state in which it is found. PHYSICAL PROPERTIES-All sizes and colors.

No graduat- ing class has yet offered such remark- able material for the Wide variety of characters called for. Martha Little- ton seemed to out-Fiske Mrs. Fiske in the stellar role of Mrs. Bumpstead-Leigh the very posh-posh English edition of Adelaide CDellal Sales of Missionary Loop, Indiana, who hopes to bring about a match between her younger sister Vio- let and Anthony Rawson, son of a very aristocratic family on Long Island, who place family above everything else on earth. George McCauley, as Justin Rawson, fiaunted his flair or paternal roles in his splendid portrayal of that character's high regard for his clever elder son, Anthony, and his scorn for his younger son, Geoifry, who is agricultur- ally inclined. Justin's views are shared -+0-Q 78 qQ Q-iff Sfafurzb-Q--Q wp by his maiden sister Abigall, whose part was played in sisterly fashion by Lucille Anderson. The role of Anthony, the slick slayer of feminine hearts, who ve- neers his unwholesome escapades by a profusion of worldly accomplishments, was shown forth in true villainous style by Lloyd Flaitz, while Steinar Vaksdal gave a truly uprighteous interpretation of the role of Geoffry, the nature-lover and seeker after the real things of life. Mr. and Mrs. Stephen Levitt, whose parts were well played by Paul Clark and Dorothy Mulford, now introduce into the state of affairs one Pete Swallow, former swain of Della Sales at Missionary Loop, who has heard of the visiting de Salles and hopes to expose them as the family of the patent medicine vendor in his Indiana home town. This comic role was executed in side-split- ting fashion by John LaCerda. Mrs. Bumpstead-Leigh cleverly misleads this blustering backwoodsman, but at the cru- cial moment, Violet, ashamed of her sis- ter's pretensions, identifies her family as that of Jim Sales of Missionary Loop. Is- abel Bonicave personified with delightful naivete this charming, courageous charac- ter. As Mrs. DeSalle, the mother of the highly-contrasted Adelaide and Violet, and excess baggage, so far as the former is concerned, Alice Janette Bailey surpris- ed everybody with her supply of tragicom- ic gestures and inflections. Despite the warnings of Kitson, the butler, whose cau- tious, fussy nature was most aptly convey- ed to the audience by Norman Beck, Nina, the maid, falls victim to Anthony's wiles, but Mrs. Bumpstead-Leigh uses this fact to undo the treacherous Anthony to Vio- let's and Geoffry's advantage. Helen Schroeder assumed with ease the role of the coy, susceptible parlor maid. Those outside the cast who contributed to the success of the play were Carl Cain, stage managerg Lorraine VanDeventer, property manager, John Hostetter, bus- iness manager, and his assistants, Mar- jorie DeWaters, Evan Shay and How- ard Wheeler. JUNIOR HIGH SCHOOL NEWS Each year we become more proud of the Junior High School, of their many achievements, and of the important part they are taking in our School. We look upon their glee club, orches- tra, and their dramatic ventures as the best of guarantees that the C. F. A. of the future will be even better than the C. F. A. of the past. The various clubs which the seventh grade classes have formed have developed their dramatic and artistic abilities, besides affording a social center for these pupils. Altho the eighth grade has had no club this year, they have combined with the oth- er classes in producing assembly plays. We cannot help but command the sup- port which the Junior High School has given our enterprises. We hope that they will keep their present enthusiasm and carry it on when they join the ranks of upperclassmen, and that they will re- member their pledge of loyalty-to stand firm and true for their Alma Mater. 7TH GRADE A-ROOM 104 The seventh grade club of 104 hold their meetings every Friday afternoon at 3 o'clock, under the direction of their home room teacher, Mrs. Elsie Franz. During the year they have enjoyed several delightful parties. At Hallow- e'en the boys and girls collected leaves, branches and other autumn decorations and decorated their room. In the after- noon they had a very enjoyable party. -'PHI 79W ill I1 e 5 1 zz t u r At Christmas time, there appeared in their room a beautiful tree which was covered with decorations and gifts for every one in the room. That afternoon the gifts were distributed and an infor- mal musical program and a play were presented. On February 14th a Valentine Box was the center of interest, and another delightful party was held. When Kenneth Makey, the President of the club, decided to favor the North- side High School with his presence, a farewell party Was held in his honor. The pupils of the club elected as their officers the following: Alice Hausner, Chairman: Dorothy Clewell, President: William Shafer, Secretary and Philip Allen, Treasurer. 7TH GRADE B-ROOM 106 The seventh grade pupils of room 106 have enjoyed several social functions during the year. At Christmas time they had a big evergreen tree, which was covered with shining tinsel and lovely gifts. At this time the different pupils of the room gave a play. During the second term, the follow- ing of'I'icers were elected: Virginia Wheeler, President: Theodore Stivers, Vice President: James Kling, Secretary and Isabel Walker, Treasurer. The club meets every Friday after- noon at 3 o'clock and different forms of entertainment, including musical pro- grams, plays and games are enjoyed. On February 14th a Valentine Box was the center of interest. A very de- lightful party was held in the afternoon. During the year the club members have made Wall hangings which were very pretty. p This seventh grade has had very en- joyable times thru the association they have found in their club. 7TH GRADE C-ROOM 105 This club meets every Friday after- noon at 3 o'clock. During the first term, they made leather bookmarks, waste paper baskets, and a number of Hallowe'en decorations. They also bronzed in gold some thistles for decor- ation in their own room. At the beginning of each term they elected oiiicers. In the second term the following were elected: William Wal- ters, President: Richard Faulkner, Vice President: Donald Weber, Secretary and Genevieve Baker, Treasurer. At Christmas time they had a beauti- ful evergreen tree covered with glitter- ing 'tinsel and ladened with lovely gifts ior every one in the room. They enjoy- ed an informal Christmas party, at which some of the members presented a play and a musical program. If the weather permits it, the club ex- pects to have a general picnic at the park just prior to the closing of school. 9TH GRADE The officers elected by the Freshman class Were: Robert Miles, President: Victoria Fox, Vice President: John Spears, Secretary and Treasurer. The Freshman reception given by the Sophomore class, was held at Hallow- e'en time this year. The decorations and the fancy costumes were festive and appropriate. -Marjorie Hood. qQ0 Q--yffqimhg Sfafnflab-Q uy WHO HAS A SENSE OF HUMOR By Alice Janette Bailey It is essential for every one to develop a keen sense of humor in order to suc- ceed in this world. There is hardly a more pitiful sight than the human being who cannot laugh. I picture him stoop- ed depressed, melancholy, with deep wrinkles lining his face. His eyes are sunken, lifeless. He is a dead bore to society, society is a dead bore to him. Let us pity him. Think of the many kinds of humor in our environment. Only to hear a baby's gurgle, a man makes a fool of himself by screwing his features into frightful positions, or going creep mousey up and down a baby's body, or tickling him lightly under the chin. The sense of humor of the baby himself is not yet de- veloped. It takes years for it to grow into keenness. When you see silly gig- gling groups, usually of the delicate sex, crowded 'together in church, school, street or 1100k, laughing almost hysteri- cally because of a sneeze or cough from a speaker, you realize how gradually our sense of humor must needs advance. Most of us know too well the person whose humor consists of mean, contem- ptible acts. He delights in seeing some one writhe in pain an-d laughs in a harsh cruel, raw way. Invariably he has come from a common, coarse family or has been embittered by life. It is his pleasure to see some one else suffer as he has. You all have visited a quaint, old person who cackles over his past. His laugh is not encouraged by the mo- dern joke, but by events of former times, when old Jim and I took Mary to the sewing bee. He is living in those good old days when-. His life has Lecome stale and he has to turn back a hundred pages to find utter content- ment. Does a person have to laugh to feel humor? Oh, no. Think of the man who has toiled all his life fighting the odds. Is he dried up? He does not laugh, yet his humor is keen. It is a clever person who causes even the trace of a smile to form on his set lips. He enjoys wit without rocking and slapping his knees. Life has shown him sad things which he cannot quite forget. It has tarnished his humor, but the tarnish only preserves the humor underneath. There is hardly a more pleasant sight than the human being who laughs him- self and makes others laugh. His per- sonality glistens so that each one of us catches a ray. His humor is not com- mon, nor too keen: he thrives on a good joke, tho he appreciates wit. Can't you imagine him erect, smiling, happy, with light wrinkles of character about his mouth and eyes, making them warm and merry? He loves society, society loves him. His life has been full of joy, tho marred by sorrow. Let us make him our example. Miss Heminway fin History AJ-Des- cribe a niche in a modern church. W. L. Bong, Jr.-It's the same as an itch anywhere else, only you have to be more careful how you scratch it. Mr. Stasch-All 'those who are absent please raise their hands.

One advantage of sleeping out is, if it rains, you do not have to disturb your slumbers and put down the windows. This fad of the girls of using their ears to keep their hair back is fine, but what happens when their ears get tired? WANTED Four dozen 8x10 mirrors to be instal- led here and there thruout the halls, to save the students of the so-called fairer sex the trouble caused by using door- windows, escutcheons, etc., as mirrors. One reducing machine to be used by Mutt Johnson and Blondie Bong. One, or more, bottles of smelling salts, in case Vaksdal and Saunders are seen separated. Mary Carroll-There's a fly in my soup. Gerald Killigrew--Don't worry-he can't hold much. Martha, a budding journalist, was told never to use two words where one would do. She carried out this advice in her report of a fatal accident.

In other words, butted in Isabel Bonicave, the more one sits, the less work one can stand. Exactly , retorted the teacher, and if one lies a great deal, one's standing is lost completely. Miss Haar-The farmer gets his liv- ing from the soil. Helen Davies-So does the washwom- an. E. Fitzgerald-I started out on the theory that the world had an opening for me. R. Mehnert-And you found it? E. F.-Well, rather. I'm in the hole. Johnnie Hostetter-Yes, doctor, my head is like a lump of lead, my neck's as stiff as a drain pipe, my chest is like a furnace. and my muscles contract like bands of iron. Doctor Hutton-I'm not so sure you shou1dn't have gone to a hardware deal- er. We always laff at teacher's jokes, No matter what they be- Not because they're funny jokes, But 'cause it's policy. -Philip Stasch George McCauley-I made a radio out of a frying pan.
