The friendly-word, the kind act, will outlive the outstanding accomplishment in the hearts of those who knew him. Great indeed is the man who may have both the admiration and the remembrance. Mr. McCarty was a leader in many fields during his life. He was outstanding in athletics at Corning Free Academy and at Williams College. Later, he became a half-owner with his brother of the W. S. and J. J. McCarty Insurance firm. His other accomplishments were numerous, especially in civic and athletic affairs. Such were his successes. The memory of his understanding, friendly nature is still held by many citizens of Corning. It is not only his business associates and adult acquaintances who recall the genuine warmth of having known Mr. McCarty. Many present students of the Academy still speak of the way he could make a mere high-school 'student feel sincerefriendship. His personality drew admirers throughout the community, and his high ideals of sportsmanship were followed by many. ' y ,: And so, we dedicate the nineteen hundred andgforty-three Stator to Joseph McCarty who was all that is fine, a successful business rrian, and a friend. Pig! Seven

Acknowledgements Advertisements PRESENT We present to you Corning Free Academy, 1943. In some ways, it is the same familiar school with traditions like the Freshman-Sophomore Hop and the Friday morning assemblies, but in other, deeper ways it has changed. Perhaps the war has not hit us directly as it has the students of Europe, the children of China, but we feel it, and deeply too, for we are across-sectionof America. The energetic seventh-grader earnestly running to each class, the casual junior, the important Senior may seem very different at a glance. But watch the seventh-grader, the Junior, and the Senior in assembly as they join in the pledge of allegiance to the flag. There is no difference now in their actions. They all look with their faith, their hopes, and their dreams in their eyes at the symbol which is the assurance that those dreams can come true. The same three go up on Wednesday morning to buy their defense stamps. Again there is no difference, for the seventh-grader, the Junior, and the Senior, on such a vastly different plane actually, have that common look of confidence that they are helping out. The school life of C.F.A. students has always been planned toward preparing good and worthy citizens for America. But the citizens being trained this year are to have extra responsibility, so they must be trained more thoroughly and carefully than ever before. The men in the services and the rebuilders of the world after the war will be taken from the people such as these present Academy students. This is the reason for the intensified program at C.F.A. to prepare its students physically, mentally, socially and structurally for the task which is theirs. The result will be adults with well- rounded lives and high ideals who will help to carry on the American way. The Editor page nine
