That we should do so is altogether fitting, because your life has been dedicated to the students who pass through Our Town, Corning Free Academy. In days gone by you would have been called a preceptress. Modern terminology would call you Senior Advisor or Guid- ance Councilor, but your students think of you as a friend. When we first entered your art department as seventh graders, your cheerfulness and sympathetic understanding assured us that high school was going to be all right. Later when we studied more advanced art, joined the Art Club, or took our places in Senior Study Hall your vivacious and charming personality enhanced by a sparkling sense of humor made you one of the best loved teachers. Forward A theme for a yearbook is a hard thing to decide upon and perhaps even a harder thing to execute. Yet, we have done our best to show what happens inside the doors of Corning Free Academy. T This is the Smtor of 1945 presented as a chronicle of Our Town. We have represented the school as Our Town, the students as the citizens, Mr. Severn as the mayor, Mr. Miller as the city manager, and the faculty as the Town Council. TOWN COUNCIL THE Members of the faculty enter the school through the front door which we have used to symbolize the Town Council. H4000 The seniors are the 400 for the reason that they are extra special. Go up to Senior Study Hall and ask them if you don't believe it! MR. AVERAGE CITIZEN Q The best time to observe the underclassmen is Friday in Assembly. Turn over a few pages and wait at the audi- torium door. They will pass by when the assembly bell rings. p CIVIC AFFAIRS W THE All of our citizens are in some club or organization so We may safely say that on the first floor bulletin board is a notice of your club's next meeting. STADIUM Through the Stadium door you enter the gym, where basketball games, intramural sports and gym classes are held. Perhaps, even now, you can hear the cheerleaders encouraging the citizens to give a loud Rah, rah, rah for C. F. A.

Bob Kelly, Vice-Pres., jack Lyons, Pres., Rosemary Reilly, Treas., Lois Murch, Sec. The Senior Class There are the 400, who, we think, are some of the slickest chicks and smoothies in captivity. Out of the original number that composed their group they have sent a large percentage to win the battle so that Our Town may live. Be- fore graduation even more of the fellows will enlist in the Navy, or their 18th birthday 'will roll around and the draft will take its toll. One morning in October the 400 voted for oflicers. Jack Lyons, Bob Kelly, Lois.Mutch, and Rosemary Reilly came out ahead and immediate- ly stepped into office Cconsequently they had their names added to the Who's Who in Our Town.j Although the class limped into the Senior year with a total of sixty cents in the treasury, the Einsteins and Morganthaus have contributed their genius and lo and behold-with the aid of the successful businessmen, entertainers, and bargainers of the class, this situation is now remedied. The Candle Lite Ball was held on December 28, in the Stadium, the dance floor of which was if Page Twcnfj-Four decorated with giant candles. The citizens were duly impressed with the atmosphere heightened by the syncopation of Charlie Tremain and his Orchestra. The 400 must have been born with four-leaf clovers pinned to their lapels, for whatever they tried seemed to be a success. The magazine sales helped swell the treasury to a sum that could not be called chicken feed! Eloise Hall should be given special credit as she sold the most maga- zines. In April soon after Easter, Spring Green had its opening night. The play was a comedy fis tue zvere about the high school crowd, the man-power shortage, the servant problem, and, of course, romance. Injune our oldest citizens will retire from their active role in Civic Affairs. Most of them go with sadness, remembering the fun they had hatching up mischievous ideas like A'Tom Mc- Andrew Week! The buzz of a bell will no longer mean the end of class. The perfume hydrogen sulfide floating through the corridor and the bang of Mr. Stasch's experiments will be only fond memories. . 1939 Page Twmg-fre 0 1 QLA f x ,W K3 jf! xxx f ff ff! f X xx 4 xv. u tu, .!L...lG...flf..,ghh f X Q' vm.

The jzmior Class Next year should be a momentous one for Our Town when the Junior Class takes over as the years leading citizensg that is, if this year's success is any indication of the class's spirit, Soon after the gates of Our Town were un- locked for the fall term, those mimeographed petitions from Mr. Millers oflice were .heing passed from one eager hand to another. Finally after the petitions were in and the candidates were voted upon, it was found that Ed Kelly was elected president, Gus Leahy, vice-presidentg Alaine Cross, secretary, and Bob Burke, treas- urer. Bales of hay, gallons of cider, and dozens of doughnuts made the class hayride a iirst class shindig. Later they held a Square Dance, and as a topper to the social register, they had the 1945 Junior Prom. For most of the juniors it seems hardly pos- sible that they are about to till the shoes of the citizens who retire this spring. Editor-in-chief of the Sturm' and presidency of the Student Council are jobs which some one of their number will soon hold.

Senxpl:, C Kelge, W. Ford W. Brown. There were tvvo important elections this fall, one for President of the United States and the other for President of the Freshman Class. After a vigorous campaign the boys proved to be better politicians than the girls by taking all the oflices. With the election of Tom Hanley as president, Bill Hughes as vice-president, Clifford Edger as secretary, and John McLychok as treasurer the citizens decided the time had come for fun. The annual Freshman - Sophomore Dance, which was more or less a get-acquainted party, was well attended and a great success, Any passer-by would have laughed with the citizens to see them dancing to Glenn Miller or cutting a a rug to Harry James. After the dancing the Sophomores served refreshments, which quickly disappeared. The real interest of the citizens, however, is doing their bit for the war effort. At 3:00 o'clock every afternoon the halls are flooded with students leaving for work in the factory and local stores. If you look closely, you will see a large number are Freshmen. Any afternoon after school you can see Freshmen girls keeping children from under the feet of their busy moth- ers. All are ready and willing to serve whatever the call may be, Whether for the Red Cross, the Community Chest, or War Stamp sales. Page Thirty zmior High School The youngest citizens of Our Town, those who reside in Junior High, started their year off with a bang by electing Stewart Burt to the presi- dency of their own Student Council and sur- rounding him with a group of able council members. Although for many of them this year was their first contact with Our Town, they were too busy with their work and outside activities to show any of the timidity or backwardness which is usually characteristic of Junior High. The activities of these new citizens are de- signed to include as many people as possible. There are expansive intramural programs in which both boys and girls take part in basket- ball, football, kickball, and ping pong. The junior High Glee Club, directed by our own maestro, Charles C. Corwin, is a proving ground for the future Senior High Glee Club. On the social side of life these younger citizens have ever popular social hours and home room parties. Our Town points with consider- able pride to the work this group of citizens has done to promote the war effort. Their home- rooms have been consistently on the IOOW lists for the purchasing of war bonds and stamps. The C. F. A. junior High School is an im- portant part of Our Town, for it is the founda- tion upon which will be built a future C. F. A. Senior Class. J .uf Kan: C Iimerson, D Thompson, F Nlnv.

The National Honor Society This year the population of Our Town is con- siderably smaller than that of other years. How- ever, it is not without its scholars. Those citi- zens who have proved themselves outstanding students are in Our Town's chapter of the National Honor Society. This society is the goal for which all ambitious students strive, because being chosen a member is, indeed, a great honor. In the fall and spring, the members held an assembly. In talks about qualifications for membership, the significance of leadership, scholarship, character, and service was de- scribed. At the two assembly programs, mem- bers of the society went forth among the oldest citizens and tapped those who were qualified to receive their pins. Mrs. Thomas, Town Council Advisor, played hostess to the society at a grand party. Some of the members, the mayor and city manager in- cluded, mystified the rest with card tricks and silly games. When the refreshments were served, it was found that the members could add another qualification to the musts for entry to the Society. At the spring assembly program, the long and unanswered question of who would be vale- dictorian and who would be salutatorian was answered by Mr. Severn when he read the ten highest averages. Page Thirty-four The Student Council We, the citizens, mindful of our democratic privileges at a time when so many former citizens of Our Town are fighting for these very privil- eges, have sent our representatives from duly organized classes to speak for us. There you have it-Our ToWn's own govern- ment which is representative of every class, club, and organization. Because of the many handi- caps which faced this group, it took the greatest effort and cooperation on the part of our City Manager, Mr. Miller, Town Council advisor, Miss Wolcott, the officers and the representa- tives to give the organization a normal adminis- tration, With many warm hearts, the Student Council decided to help the unfortunate victims of polio. Under the direction of Bob Mahoney, many senior boys gladly turned nursemaids by taking the stricken children back and forth to school. To provide a diversion from the steady grind, the Student Council sponsored social hours in the gym, where the bobby sox and the plaid shirts really got hep. The year was indeed a stern one and the end of it saw many of our boys called to a greater service-that of Uncle Sam. Joining this number, our own President Ed Leahy handed the torch to Vice-President Bob Mahoney and Secretary Irene Hogan to carry on. ur Kew: Miss Wolcott, E. Hilr, V. Telian I Hogan, Sec., E.

So it is not surprising that We, on the staff, have used this excuse many a time.

Page Thirty-.tix The Hill Echo Perhaps you have wondered what the citizens of this fair community do for a newspaper. We've got all the answers and the answer to this question is the Hill Echo. This paper is kept in line under the judicious eyes of Town Council members, Miss Robinson and Miss Gantert, and is edited by citizens, Helen Sokira and Eleanor fNoni to youl Hilt. Up on the third floor, next to Professor Field- ing's quarters, is a nice big room with a notice on the door reading, Hill Echo Staff Members Only. This is the press, copy, and printing room of the Hill Echo, where each issue ori- ginates. Because of the paper shortage only three issues could be published this year. These ap- peared, either by plan or by coincidence, before Christmas, Easter, and Graduation. Several clever ideas were presented in the long awaited ur Rau-: N. Carlton. md Kuna' N. Gardiner, T. Michael. II, Wolfe, E. Hilr, H. Sokira. issues. A new page layout with no lines was tried and met with much approval. The Class- ihed Ad section, new in the Christmas issue, brought forth many oh's and ah's accompanied by deep red blushes. A feat that some members of the staff per- formed was taking apart and cleaning the mimeograph machine, a job that had not been done in many years. However, some impartial observers believe that it was more of a feat to put the machine back together again. You have heard the click-click of typewriters and the humming of the mimeograph machine previous to the eventful day when the Hill Etba comes out, with up-to-the-minute news and juicy tidbits. All this excitement and suspense make Hill Echo Day one of the highlights of the school year. grd Raw: C. Pesoli, M. Boehm, M. Picarazzi, I. Negri, F Ginnane, R. Reilly, D. Lipinski, M. Busshaus, B.

The logical thing to do would be to meander into Our Town's Library, managed by Miss Cole and her staff. In order to keep the Library Staff from be- coming a has-been, each year new members are selected. After the successful candidates have been chosen. they are given an initiation which X . ,rj I . is pretty rugged. The staff members are the ones who keep the shelves in order and come around at 8:30 to whisper in your ear, You have an over due. The task of the Library Staff is not all work, for each fall they entertain the Town Council members at a tea, and at frequent intervals have a get together with the staffs of Northside and Painted Post to celebrate their mutual conquests. f 1 ja :rr Rau: B. llxttersiril, S Ripley, VV.

Each Wednesday is known as Stamp Day. A representative is chosen from each room and it is his responsibility to collect the money and take it to the community officials, Mr. Harold Miller and Mrs. Josephine Kresge, who dis- tribute the bonds and stamps. The home room representatives meet once a month with their advisor to plan ways and Page means of persuading the few unpatriotic citizens to buy at least one ten cent stamp a week. At these meetings much time is spent debating the problem of urging more citizens to buy more stamps and bonds. Results are what they are after and results are what they get! Look at C. F. A. 's record in the sale of tickets to victory. The way the War Stamp Club is spending its time in the effort to aid America in her great battle is a credit to Our Town. Thirty-nine ut Row: T.

In fact we have quite a number lurking around, especially in the Theater Guild where they help create interest in the theater among our citizens. Perhaps you have seen a notice on the black board reading something like this: Make-up class, today, 3:45. Don't mistake the word make-up as a synonym of detention study hall. On the contrary it is theatrical make-up. If you were to look in at one of these meetings, you might get the shock of your life. Someone Who looked for all the world like a 'Chinese might turn out to be one of your favorite classmates. Do you remember the Christmas Pageant? The make-up was done by this group of Thespians. It was largely through the work of citizens such as Nancy Carlton, president, David Hornung, vice-president, and Marianne Palme, secretary-treasurer, with Town Council advisor, Miss Webb, that this year may be put down as successful in the Theater Guild's history.

For a long time some of the members had just been dying to get their hands in oils. When Miss Clute suggested that they might, the room vibrated with enthusiasm. The still life was arranged, the oils were squirted from their tubes, and that first oil was begun. One spectator had the audacity to say that it looked as easy as icing a cake. For that person's enlightenment it isn'tl One big and grandiose job which the Art Club undertook was doing the window display for the American Red Cross.

Most of us around Our Town have become used to putting our old homework and test papers in the scrap box so that the Conservation Club can collect them. The Club has instituted some nifty ideas. The nicest is the generous offer to buy some books on conservation for Our Toyvn's Library. When the Christmas Pageant was under production, the members of the Club went out into the hills and brought back beautiful greens for the stage. Softly whistling carols, the Club went-to and decorated the auditorium. For a really snazzy initiation for new members a roller skating party was held. Tumbles, thrills, and scraped knees, yes! But that always goes with initiations. Now that all the members are full fledged they can share in the enjoyment of performing and witnessing experimentations down in Mr. Banner's Lab. The Conservation Club Page Fnrzjf-tllfee The Noon Hour Council As a warning beforehand, if you're standing innocently in the hall at 12:30 any Friday, watch out! For then there is a mad rush and a bee line for the auditorium. You probably wonder vvhat's the reason. The main objective is the after-lunch fun fest which may consist of movies, a musical quiz or an amateur hour. The master of ceremonies steps out on the stage with a finger lifted for silence. COh! Girls, you'll have to get that gossip laterD and the fun begins. Sometimes they may be lucky enough to have a dance, round and square. Everybody, from the 7th graders to the seniors, is able to forget his troubles for a full forty-five minutes of solid fun. Under the suc- cessful leadership of Mr. Duncan Che forgets basketball for a minuteD and his assistants, entertainment has been provided for the citizens who must bring their lunches to school.

Every other Tuesday is a business meeting at which future plans are discussed. Last winter the citizens held a meeting at Mr. Banner's home. Of course they had refresh- ments. But what did they do for entertainment? A stamp auction was the order of the day. A member who had a duplicate or a stamp that he ut Raw: Harold Travis, Donald Pislte. md Rnux' Bob Granger, Don Tyler, Lynn Banner. didn't want anymore would let the auctioneer dispose of it. Quite a novel idea, n'est-ce pas? Hey, how about swapping that Azerbaijan for my surcharged French Colonial? No? Well, how 'bout . . That is typical Stamp Club conversation. Some of the members have grand collections which are the result of their owner's skill and interest.

The Senior Orchestra During the 3:00 period on Tuesdaiys and Thursdays you have heard the strains of amiliar airs resound throughout the halls. CLibrarian, Miss Cole can verify that statementj The origin is, as you robably know, the Senior Orchestra under the irection of Charles C. Corwin. At the first rehearsal of the Orchestra there was a conglomeration of musicians. It was Mr. Corwin's job to make this material into at smooth running organization. The Orchestra provides much of the musical entertainment for Our Town throughout the year. It plays at the two ta pings of the National Honor Society, at the galil performance of the Senior Play, and at the annual Spring Concert. At graduation, which is the final bow for many of the citizens in Our Town, the Senior Orchestra fills the auditorium with melodious music. ' Page Forty-six The Band It would be difficult for us to get through the year without receiving a contribution from our most colorful organization, the Band. Under the baton of Richard C. Griffith, the trombones, trumpets, drums and clarinets give with music to rival the best bands in the land. Usually the football field is the setting for the Band. However, since there were no football games this year, the musicians had to forego the fun of marching between halves. On the campus, soon after school opened in October, the Band V Rau Xlr Gri1hzli,C B eu, S DeN1uth,,I. Burr, H. Nittbe, Nllimrdaii, M. Altlam. could be seen marching in formationg this time under the twirling baton of Beckey Aldam and her majorettes. In its gay blue and white uniforms the Band appeared on the Corning Glass Works Family Party and at the Spring Concert. Their reper- toire ranged from such compositions as Clair de Lune by Debussy to Night and Day and Stardust. Diversified programs such as these will always keep a niche in the musical life of Our Town for the Band. .m1'RIu.' H T ask E, Cuipentex B. Burns. .-Llloy. N. Molun, P. Pattersoiihl. Keeler, D.

Twice a week the Glee Club members gather under the direction of Charles C. Corwin to be trained in group singing. For people Who can Mani? let out a pretty lusty yell outside of school, they do pretty well with those pear-shaped tones. In the spring the Glee Club shows the rest of Our Town exactly what fruit the year's work has borne. The girls dressed in pretty spring evening dresses lend a festive air to the occasion. The program is varied so that each person in the audience will come away humming the tune of one song which particularly struck home. V r -I nt Rauf: E. Backer,,I. Holland, R. Proury, W. Russell, S.

At first when the music distinctly shows a quarter rest, some brave soul in the violin section plays on. It might be well to note that the guilty person is more careful the next time a rest ap- pears in the score. At 3:00 o'clock on Friday afternoons when most of the citizens are only too happy to be far, far from C. F. A., these orchestra members have another forty-five minutes to add to their weekly schedule. Clarence Aldarn, Town Council maes- tro, is the director under whose baton the kinks are ironed out. By the end of the year, the Junior Orchestra sounds like an orchestra should sound. STRING ENSEMBLE Like a dying ripple, silence creeps over the audience. The conductor raises his baton, and there come forth strains of a familiar piece in string harmony. What is this organization with members so eager and intent? Why,iit is Our Town's String Ensemble, directed by one of the musically in- clined members of the Town Council, Clarence Aldam. The participants are the younger citizens of Our Town. This organization is composed of approximate- ly thirty, young, alert musicians playing violins, violas, cellos, basses, and, to add more sparkle, the chimes. With an organization such as this, there is an opportunity for these citizens to grasp the importance of teamwork in music.

This is the war cry of the cheer leaders led by co-captains Joyce Mann and Lal Sokira, Dressed in blue and White, these kids go to the games to lead the cheers. Though all of them are grand leaders, little Joey Kelly takes the cake when he gets out to bring down the house with his cheers. This group meets weekly to practise old cheers and to work out new routines. Mr. Goliber is the advisor, who criticizes and encourages this group. Twice this year the cheer leaders have held pep assemblies before our toughest games. Since there was no football this year, the cheer leaders made doubly sure that the whole force turned out to the basketball games. If the team went to Hornell, Bath, or most any place, you can bet your bottom dollar that the cheer leaders were there to give encouragement to Our Town's team in blue and white. , Page Fifgf-four Because of the late opening of school this year the CFA Cross Country team, coached by Mr. Charles Goliber, was able to participate in only one meet-the sectional meet which was held on November 3 at the University .of Roch- ester. The whole team trained diligently for a month before the meet, but since only five con- testants from each school were allowed to enter the sectional cross country run, an elimination race was held to determine who would make the trip. Vartan Telianhlames Rotsell, Tom Hillman, Milan Telian, and Paul Hazlett were the first five to cross the finish line in the elimination race, and consequently they represented the Academy at Rochester. 1.r1 Kaus P. Hazlett, ll. Rotsell, V.Tel1iin, W. Brush. Vartan Telian, co-captain of the team with James Rotsell, led the Steuben County runners in the two and one-half mile course to place fourth out of 104 entries and SO contestants, and in doing this, he became the first Academy runner since Bill Hyland to place in the first six winners. As a team the Academy placed eleventh. Even though there was only the one meet, the season must be considered a success. ln training for the one meet, the boys worked long and hard, and while they developed their muscles, they also enjoyed themselves.

Norris, Mr. Duncan Since there was no football in the Academy this year, basketball practice started on the first of November in preparation for the first game against Hammondsport on the eleventh. Be- tween the eleventh of November and our final game with Northside High on the twentieth of February, Coach Bob Duncan's Bulldogs en- tered seventeen games and emerged victorious in eleven of these, losing to Hornell, Painted Post, Horseheads and the two Binghamton schools. Although this record is far from perfect, it still has its marks of accomplishment to give it the distinction of a successful year. The biggest thrill of the season was on the home court when the Blue and White edged out a 35-33 victory over Hornell High Red Raiders. In the second half of the season the Bulldogs showed a great CFA OPP.

This game went into two overtime periods before the Posters dropped in a basket to win 53-51. The team was captained by Joe Nares, who came back from last year's varsity along with Gordon Schenck and George Pratt. Tom Hill- man, Spencer Kriger, Philip Asiello, John Leahy, up from last year's jayvees filled out the squad along with Ed Leahy and John Norris who were out for their first year of basketball in the Academy. Philip Asiello and Ed Leahy left the team to join the Navy before the end of the season, although Leahy was able to come back for the last game. C.F.A. OPP.

Of the four losses which they suffered, two may be considered definite moral victories, since the games were very close, with the powerful Hornell squad and the varsity team of Prattsburgh High School as opponents. The first game of the season was with Pratts- burg's varsity and ended with a last minute spurt into the lead and a 19-17 victory for Prattsburg. Following this game, the Bulldog Pups chalked up victories over Painted Post, Addison, and three over Northside High School, until they dropped one to Haverling High School. Then after a win over Painted Post, they put up a royal, but unsuccessful, battle against a superior Hornell quintet. Successive victories over Northside High School and Painted Post were followed by an unfortunate upset in the last game of the season when, after previously defeating Northside four times, the Pups were overcome by the NHS Tiger Cubs in a thrilling game that ended with the Academy on the short end ofa 25-20 score. No single man on the squad could be singled out as the star since the whole group worked together as a team, with each man doing his share. CF A OPP.

In order to win this letter a girl must be a member of an intramural team and qualify with the required number of points. In the spring assembly when basketball, track, and baseball letters are awarded, the girls who qualify are called to the stage to receive their hard-earned tokens of athletic ability. Pug e Fifty The oHicers responsible for the club's activities are Beverly Patterson, president, and Rosiland Pratt, vice-president. Plans for parties and social athletics are made at the Athletic C Club's meetings. Our Town occasionally plays host to girls' teams from other cities. Games, refreshments, and good sportsmanship make these affairs en- joyable for those who participate. . -sigh! Probably the principal pastime of the citizens is the participation in and the witnessing of sport events. We love to cheer our teams on to victory, but every team has ill-luck and off-days. At these times, when our spirit and sportsman- ship are likely to be low, we need someone to cheer us up and prevent hard feelings between rival schools. To create sportsmanship was one of the chief reasons for the organization of the Varsity C Club. ,ff km v,T.f1n.1, R. Proutv, o. Hen-ly, v. ,x.1el1u,,1.,1atL,,1, Hmm. :ml Rau I. Rorsell, Nl.

Already the members are out soliciting matches in order to put on a good show. As usual, the senior members of the organiza- tion are trying to raise money for varsity sweaters.

This is Our Tovvn's athletic headquarters for the fair sex. The purpose of the organization is to make each sport in which the girls participate as inter- esting as possible. A meeting is held before and after each sport so that problems relative to that activity may be discussed and settled. In reality the Girls' Intramural Council is a Court of Appeals Where any problem about rules, management, or personnel of the teams can be hashed out. In the gym or on the campus on Tuesday or Wednesday afternoons one can see lively games of basketball, ping-pong, baseball, badminton, or kickball. If you look closely, you will see that members of the G. I. Council often act as referees, scorekeepers, and instructors. rt Raw: j. Bottle, A , jordan, D. Spears, M. Edger, M, McBurney, B.

It,s just about all we can show you ofa special glass radio bulb that is a part of our secret military apparatus. At one stage in the war a high-ranking officer stated that a bulb of this type was so valuable and effective that he would risk the lives of five soldiers to keep it in opera- tion. Thafs something to think about. And itls one reason why you find Corning men and women today striving to surpass quality standards that are already exacting. This bulb is made of a special glass to very strict re- quirements. And so are most of the articles Corning is making for the Army and Navy and other services. They cover a wide range-from airplane wingtip lights to giant field marking beacon lenses. From laboratory ware for hospitals to optical glass for gunsights. From tough glass messware to thimblesize tubes for field radios. And these are but a few of hundreds of items that Corning is making for the military services in addition to glassware for industries that supply chemicals and clothing, food, powder, rubber, and gasoline! In these fields and in many others Corning's deep knowledge of glass and glassmaking has made it possible to put this fairly plentiful material to work, not merely as a substitute, but ass a new material capa- ble of standing on its own feet and delivering better service in many instances than the one it replaces. These are but a few examples ofhow Corning,s know- hown is helping in our fight for Victory. After the war, the men and women of Corning will again take up their search for new and better ways in which that amazingly versatile material, glass,', can help industry, science, and the home.
