As a captain is responsible for guiding his vessel along its course, so Miss Webb is one of the counselors responsible for properly guiding the students of Corning Free Academy on their four year voyage. lt is to her, most students turn when the sea becomes stormy and the sailing rough. Her Wise counselling and ever ready Willingness to devote her time and efforts to the problems of the students have endeared her to all.

Gregg Mrs. Natalie Wood Principal-Assistant to Mr. Gregg---Charles W. Clowe The Enlarged City School District Before 1900 it was necessary to have many schools located wherever small groups of people resided. Years went by and as the areas grew, more and more schools and more districts came into being. For this reason, the greater Corning area was divided into sixty-two separate districts. The prob- lems were many. Most of the small schools were overcrowded, unsafe, obsolete and below par in maintaining health standards. The lack of proper facilities did not enhance the education given the youth of our community. Then one day it was suggested that since we were one in industry it might be more effective to have one large city school district. Everyone then started working to attain this suggested goal. The Harvard committee was employed to study the existing situation and to make suitable recom- mendations. Two petitions were sent to the Com- page eight missioner of Education, one on June 2nd, the other on June 8th, and a vote taken on June 22nd made a one time suggestion a reality. The separate school districts were finally organized into the enlarged city school district of Corning. On March l5th, l955, a 355,100,000 bond issue was voted on by the citizens of this enlarged city school district. The vote was carried by a 66 per cent majority voting in favor of the proposed bond issues. I This signified that most citizens were anxious for the youth of their community to receive the best kind of an education possible under the most favorable conditions. The present bond issue will insure a new and en- larged system of elementary schools for our youth. The day of the small rural school house in the Corning Area has passed. What was once a dream is gradually becoming a reality. 0 F F I C E R S . Y -- :Le .. Sv 1, ,,1?':zu,f,' r iv MM rig ,gl -...Vg-W K ,Qs L 1 E f E 1 I-A 'S V3 1 .

John Nesbit Vice-president --- Margaret Sproule Secretary .... --- Laura Flanders Treasurer -- -- Sally Wheaton The Class of l955 In l95i, We elected Gordon White, President, Margaret Sproule, vice-president, Betty Wheaton, secretary, Sonja Portner, treasurer. Early in the year, the sophomores entertained us at the annual Freshman-Sopscmore party. The high light of the year's activities was the presentation of the Shakespearean comedy, A MlDSUMMER NlGHT'S DREAM. As sophomores, we elected John Thomas, president, Eugene Patch, vice-president, Walter Dippo, secretary, Mary Helen Nelson, treasurer. At the Freshman-Sophomore party, we greeted the newly arrived freshmen. An enjoyable evening was spent by all who attended. Our junior year was full of activity from beginning to end. Our officers were: Walter Dippo, president, Peter Salo, vice-president, William Cheney, secretary, Mary Hagan, treasurer. The first major project we presented was the annual Christmas Pageant. The program was under the capable direction of Miss Helen Farr. Spring Magic was the theme of our Junior Prom. Mary Helen Nelson and David Currie were chosen as the royal couple to reign over THE SOCIAL EVENT of the year. One hundred-fold we began our senior year. We elected Jack Nesbitt, president, Margaret Sproule, vice-president, Laura Flanders, secretary, Sally Wheaton, treasurer. Our first major undertaking was the annual Magazine Sale. The proceeds, which amounted to 54,423 went to finance our senior trip. The general chairmen for this campaign were Lawrence Recktenwald and Andrew Pelych. Sally Woodhouse, Jane Clute, Lucille O'Neil, Robert Famcomb and Mary Hagan were top salesmen. The Senior get-together held on October 23, in the gym, was an evening packed full of fun and noise. Christmas time meant Prom time as the entire senior class, under the chairmanship of Peter Salo, worked wholeheartedly to make the dance a success. The gym was gaily decorated with white streamers and Christmas trees to present a wintry effect in harmony with the theme The SnowbalI . Immediately following mid-term examinations the senior play, Mother is a Freshman , dizected by Miss Janet A. Young, enjoyed a capacity crowd both nigths. On May 21, the Senior Banquet and dance was held at the Baron Steuben Hotel. Sally Wheaton acted as chairman of the affair. Next came the Senior Day on May 26 which was a howling success. David Currie was master of ceremonies. Our senior trip on June lO to Hershey, Pennsyl- vania was enjoyed by all of us. Before we realized it, graduation day was upon us. That day brought to our minds some of the most memorablie events of our lives. Each of us left to tread our individual paths in life, leaving behind us an unforgettable four years at C. F.

Into a candle-lit auditorium, filled with the solemn air of the season, the students silently enter. The main floor of the auditorium is bathed in soft candle light and directly ahead, one sees the stage and platforms decorated with green pine boughs. To blend in perfectly with this beautiful picture and fragrance of pine, one hears the golden tones of the chimes. After the glowing room has been filled, the melodious voices ot the Choir are heard. Reverently and majestically the choristers, resplendent in crimson robes, move down the aisle singing, O, COME ALL YE FAITHFUL. They move on to the elevated seats among the pine boughs bearing flickering candles. Then all is quiet and the curtain parts, revealing the first scene of the Christmas Story. As the five tableaux are presented, the Choir sings the appropriate carols to accompany the varying scenes. Finally the curtains are drawn leaving the spirit of Christmas deep in one's heart. The Choir then re-traces its steps out of the auditorium singing, HARK THE HERALD ANGELS SlNG.

The floor is composed of representatives from each homeroom and of all extra curricular activities in Senior High. During the year the council, after many fervent discussions, added two amendments to the constitution concerning the awarding of letters to injured football players. ln addition, a central bulletin board was erected on the second floor. Later in the year ,came a complaint from the floor that the school landscape was not being kept tidy. Since it is the duty of this organization to comply with the wishes of the student body, if they benefit the majority, a clean-up campaign was organized. To conclude the yearly achievements an annual tri-school banquet was enjoyed. page fifty Junior l-ligh Student Council As the president's gavel commands the meeting to order, elected Junior High students act as a small- scale government for sev- enth and eighth grades. This year's officers in- cluded, president, Patricia Keating, vice-president Thomas Mormorg secretary, Darlene Dooty, treasurer, Frank Gardner. Home-room representatives comprise the body of this organization. Highlighting the l954- 55 activities was the sale of permatized pictures focused on the facade of Corning Free Academy. Winding up all projects was the annual frolic. In i953-54 the council purchased the painting Gloucester Harbor for East Study Hall. Although the Noon-Hour Council is made up of only four members, it is a very important group and much appreciated by students who bring their lunches to school. A variety of entertain- ment is provided by the Council every day for non- resident students. Various activities for this year in- cluded guizzes and different contests in the gym such as ping-pong and basketball. The Council also sold candy bars in order to purchase film strips and prizes for contest winners. The faculty advisor for this group was Harold J. Hatch. The officers were: Robert Johnson, president: James Cook, vice-president: Evelyn Knights, secretary, Helen Robinson, treasurer.

Each staff works individually towards improving the Stator and making the yearbook enjoyable I, . for all. Like any other product for the market the Stator is composed of two main divisions-production and retail. The production includes the Literary, Art and Typing Staffs. The retail is the responsibility of the Business Staff. The Literary Staff, headed by Co-editors Richard Madigan and Peter Solo, originates the theme, which this year is sailing, and with the help of the art department, carries this theme throughout the book. Also this staff, including juniors and seniors, decides on the dedication and foreword as well as explains the purpose of the many organizations and other literary contributions included in the Stator. The Art Staff creates designs or illustrations to support the theme. lt also designs the cover and helps the Literary Staff to arrange the layout. The Typing Staff prepares the literary material for the printer. Headed by Kathleen Meehan and Jane Clute, the Business Staff manages circulation and advertising for the yearbook. Ads are collected from stores and business establishments to defray printing and engraving expenses. The success of our yearbook is largely dependnt upon enthusiastic salesmanship of the Circulation Staff members. On behalf of the entire Stator Staff l would like to thank our very competent and willing advisers: Miss Claire Janus, Miss Elsie Clute, Miss Clara Frenzl, Miss Marion Holmes and Mr. C. Russell Carr. lt is with pride and pleasure that we now present to you the i955 issue of the Stator.

Le Cercle Francais The French Club or Cercle Francois is an oraanization com- posed of students studying the French language. Officers for this scholastic year were Peter Salo, President, Kathryn Frey, vice-presi- dent: Lillia Crippen, secretary-treasurer, Mary Hagan, representative on Student Council. Under the guidance of Mrs. Kresge, the cercle has under- taken its greastest project, the sponsorina of a French child through the Save the Children Federation. The child for the past two vears has been Bernard Dorange, un entont qui habite la ville de Sanvic, deux pas Havre. The French Club finances this sponsor- ship through the sellinq of stationery each year. Perhaps the correspondence with M. Dorange makes him membre de la classe for his letters show his gratitude. Notre arnieet bon professeur has tilm strips of points of interest of the country of France. Along with these, we have popular French records or more commonly known as des disques which play a part in making the French language more popular among the students. page fifty-three 44 I-lla? j O C.F.A.

It was formerly known as, Flunkers Folly. This theatrical organization, the only one of its kind in Corning Free Academy, also conducted make-up and Parlimentary Procedure Classes for those interested. ln June, pins were presented to the Senior members who had, during their membershop, participated in enough Theatre Guild activities to earn the paints required for the pin. page titty-tive Library Staff Y- Q Krug 81713045 7' Q 0 P act' 0 E' 0 V 'X 0' 6 32 9b Lf., NP V0 0-cl' bk 4' 1 ph Lg- tfx P sg- Gia is-,p xf 1 - V445 .-- tl?

During these periods the girls check books in and out, keep the shelves in order, and process magazines, pamphlets, records and films strips. The teacher-contact committee is one of the most important services of the staff. Each girl is appointed to keep in contact with a teacher and to provide the necessary books and supplemental material required by that teacher from the library for her classes the following week.

They play an important part in keeping the library in Order. The boys are greatly depended upon for help with the audiovisual equipment. They are quite experienced in the use of this equipment and they help the teachers set it up for their classes. Other duties, such as checking books in and out, putting them on the shelves, and keeping the library in order are taken care of by the boys. Every other Tuesday from l2:0O to l:l5 the boys hold their meetings in the library. At this time they discuss new ideas or events that are coming up. Occasionally the boys have luncheons with the Girls' Library Staff and they always hold an annual social houi Miss Ruth Cole has acted as their very helpful faculty advisor.

The Hill Echo, our school newspaper, made its appearance before the student body four times during the school year. into this typical paper went the diligent efforts of its members. The Hill Echo Staff is comprised of students, from every class. All the articles were written by students, but not all by actual members of the Staff. Mary Helen Nelson was Editor-in-Chief of the paper and Elizabeth Carapella was Business Manager. The Hill Echo Staff is divided into departments. The featue Staff is headed by Robert Nikirk, News by Laura Flanders, Sports by Joan Ruocco, Art and Photography by Jack Lesson, Advertising by lrene Lalonde and Typing by Pearl McGraw. I-lill Echo The first issue of the Hill Echo was the fall issue, the second, the Christmas issue. The third issue of the paper came out on St. Patrick's Day and therefore featured the traditional green for the day. In the third issue, the unanimous acceptance of the school Bond lssue was expertly covered. Also, the work of some of our C. F. A. students in the Civil Defense Skywatching Program was featured in this issue. This illustrated the efforts of the paper to combine some local news with the regular school news. The fourth issue of the Hill Echo was the Commencement issue dedicated to the Seniors. This year for the first time, the literary editors were sent to the Press Convention in Syracuse. The Convention was held by the Empire State School Press Association of which the Hill Echo is a member. The editors received many pointers on how to improve their paper. The heads of each staff in turn passed this information on to their staffs. Since then, the paper has improved in many respects. Our helpful faculty advisors this year were Miss Mary E. Amey, Miss Marie O. Gantert, Miss Clara Frenzel, and Miss Marion Holmes. page fifty-seven l Stage Crew Left to right: William Ellison, Elmo Cross, Lewis Blaise, David Perry, The Stage Crew, which is responsible for all the assemblies presented for the students, is the organization with the smallest membership in Corning Free Academy. It is composed of four members, one chosen from each Senior High class. Elmo Cross, Lewis Bloise, David Perry, and William Ellison are the boys on this year's crew. Using this system, there are always experienced boys remaining on the crew. These boys look after drawing the curtains, operating the lights, assisting performers in setting up the stage, and putting the auditorium back in order at the conclusion of each assembly, The duties are very ably executed by this small but important group. ln recognition of their service, the boys receive a certificate in the annual assembly for prcsentation of awards.

Drchestra While sitting in study hall or in homeroom, one might be aware of the soothing refrain of a waltz, the lilting rhythm at a famous show song or a portion of a symphony. lf any of these, it is probable that the melodious strains are drifting from the weekly rehearsals of the Senior Orchestra under the baton of Mr. Edward Walsh. ' This muscial organization consists of students who have religiously studied an in- strument and who, with the training ot the school instructors, have learned to perform with others under a conductor. Thus, with a favorable balance of strings, brass, woodwinds, and a piano there is achieved a blending tone with each playing an important role in interpreting the many great musical compositions from Bach to Rogers and Hammerstein. This year the concert highlight, Leroy Anderson's Sandpaper Ballet and Bugler's Holiday featured a trumpet trio. page sixty-one Row l: lleft to rightl Adelbert Bablo, Patricia Smith, Robert Dockerty, Margaret Post, Arthur Post, Karen Bruner, Adelaide Dahlman, Barbara Waalond, Susan Furman.

The i954 football team was guided by a new head coach, Mr. Harold Hatch. Eighteen of last year's squad members formed the nucleus of this year's varsity. ln the season opener at Elmira Southside High School the Bulldogs suffered a close l9-I3 defeat. .lim Pierri highlighted the game for the Bulldogs by taking the opening kick and tearing eighty yards for the first touchdown. The Academy then defeated Haverling Central School of Bath 30-14, for the first win, after trailing I4-6 at the half. The team next traveled to Hornell for its first West Central Football Conference game. A touchdown called back because of a penalty proved costly to the boys, and they came out an the short end of a l3-7 count. The Academy stopped Geneva in the succeeding game at home l3-7. The Pierri boys helped to put the blue and white back on the winning streak by accounting tor twelve of the thirteen points. The clash with Elmira Heights was rated an even game. However it turned out to be a rout. Sparked by a brilliant running attack, the Hillsters registered a 33-6 win. ln the following contest at Batavia the blue- devils were walloped by the Academy, 39-6. Jim Pierri again stole the spotlight by gaining four touch- downs. Sayre High School invaded the stadium and ended the Bulldogs' winning streak of three, by defeating them 27-7. However, the team played excellent football despite the setback. The Academy eleven finally met their Northside rivals in the deciding league game of the season. Spearheaded by long touchdown runs by Jack Buchinger and Gary Shellman, the Bulldogs tripped the Tigers l9-6. This victory forced the West Central Conference Championship into a three-way tie among Corning Free Academy, Northside and Hornell. Three assistant coaches made their first appear- ance at the Academy this year. Robert Sheldon was the backfield coach, William Pfaadt, the line coach and Manuel Scarmoutsos, coach of the ends and kickers. Gerry Shaddock and David Currie led the Academy team as co-captains. I Graduation will claim eight of the regular starting array. This fact presents a challenge to the boys who will make up the gridiron team of l955. page seventy fl' C Alliillr? A J. V.

V.'s found that their diligent practice had paid off. However, their victory was short-lived since they were swamped in their next game with Elmira Southside 20-0. The next encounter with Elmira Heights ended with C. F. A. on the short end of a 7-6 score. The highly touted Northside Tigers were now held to a 6-6 tie in a hard fought game. This was followed by a loss in a tough struggle against Hornell which resulted in a score of 21-6. The last game of the season, postponed from October l3,, because of Hurricane Hazel, found Northside victorious in its second try against our team with a score of 26-6. Having gained greater experience and knowledge of the game, many of this year's team will leave the coaching of Mr. Kenneth Fielding for a try at Varsity. These boys will be leaving room for another and, we hope, as diligent a squad as this year's. We are hopeful, also, that they will be led by a leader as capable as this year's captain, Fred Dyer. C.

The turnout for the i954 track season was rather small for the different events. However, the boys, who realize that track is a fine conditioning sport for foot- ball and basketball, began their daily workouts which shaped up the Academy squad. The results of the meets were excellent, consider- ing the small turnout. The first meet was last to Bath by a narrow margin. A week later the squad slipped to third place, but the boys triumphed at the final meet, topping Bath by ten points. The County meet at Painted Post proved success- ful for the Bulldog sprinters. For the third straight year, the Academy relay team captured first place in the 440 yard relay. This quartet, comprised of Daniel Richardson, Duane Sprague, Thurlow Sutherland and Scott Chowning, also ron to a first place victory at the Rochester sectional meet, with a time of 46.5 seconds. Daniel Richardson and Scott Chowning gained double honors in the County meet by placing first in the lO0 yard dash and 220 yard dash, respectively. The team this year was directed by Coaches Ernest Craumer and lrving Snyder. Mr. Harold Hatch will replace Mr. Craumer as head track coach for the i955 season. TRACK MEETS May l Haverling, 50Vz pts.

Hatch, and the Hillsters enjoyed a very successful season, winning nine games and losing only three. ln the league play C. F. A. defeated Hornell, Bath and Painted Post twice each and on one occasion, triumphed over their intra-city rivals, Northside, This excellent league record clinched the Steuben County Class AA title for the Academy and it enabled the Hatchmen to take part in the Section Five AA tournament at Geneso. On June ll, the Academy nine traveled to Rochester to face a strong John Marshall team, The Hillsters bowed to the Rochester team 7-l in a well- played and hard-fought contest. I C. F.

Left to right Patricia Crockett, Nancy Wade, Deborah De Silva, Nancy Marty Drusilla Frey Arlene Sproule, Christine Tunney, Mary Spencer, Janet Cavalier In the Spring of each year new cheerleaders are chosen to replace the graduating members of the squad. These girls are chosen on neatness, coordination, cooperation, cheering ability, enthusiasm, and person- ality. This year the J. V. Cheerleaders were dressed in the traditional white skirts, blue jackets ond saddle shoes. For basketball they chose navy blue skirts and middies. The J. V. Cheerleaders worked along with the Varsity Cheerleaders to make the annual pep assembly a success and assisted the Varsity in leading cheers at football and basketball games. During the school year the Junior Varsity Cheer- leaders sold paper supplies on the first floor while the Varsity sold the same an the second floor. At the end of the year all members of the squad attended the banquet at the Mark Twain Hotel at which time they elected their captain for the coming year.

The Varsity Cheerleaders of Corning Free Academy led the entire student body in cheering the football and basketball teams to victory and they exhibited an excellent example of fine sportsmanship, The squad is comprised of nine girls, six seniors and three juniors. These girls meet perhaps more than any other organization in the school. They meet three times a week far p actice sessions. Occasionally, they call business meetings to discuss their financial status. This year tl-e annual pep assembly preceding the Northside game had for its theme Mr. Bulldog, C. F. A. All worked diligently to make this affair a success. This performance proved the girls' ability to cooperate. Before each home game on week ends the cheer- leaders meet at on of the girls' homes to enjoy dessert, These have provided on excellent time for both J. V and Varsity Cheerleaders to get together. Toward the end of the year the cheerleaders enjoyed a banquet at the Mark Twain Hotl in Elmira at which time the Varsity and J. V. captains were announced.
