ADMINISTRATION THE ANNUAL—1925 THE A NN UA L—1925 MAIN CORRIDOR FACING SOUTH 1925 A Memorable Year BOTH nature and politics have been doing their utmost to make the year 1925 a memorable one-. First came the total eclipse of the sun on January twenty-fourth. Weather conditions were perfect in Elmira to view it, and everyone was up early with smoked glass to shade his eyes while he looked at the disappearing sun; awe and wonder were expressed on every side at one of the most marvellous sights ever witnessed. Then the weather man, not to be outdone, sent the most stupendous snow fall ever known in Chemung County. It snowed for so long that the schools of Elmira were closed. And such piles of the “beautiful” on every side! Then the moon-man had his turn and we were rewarded by a partial eclipse. By this time Old Mother Earth became jealous of the attention the heavenly bodies were getting, so an earthquake visited us to show she was still an important personage. Next, to add to the excitement, some one foretold the end of the world, but Gabriel must have mislaid his trumpet, as the prophecy did not come true. 10 -i xhe tvcnrxA nr rd 'd ■ ViAfryo� � ' - -9-7 -r..

No. 6 43 HOW many of us remember that September night in 1921 when Mother and Dad accompanied us to school for the purpose of meeting the Faculty, and seeing the little play which Miss Quinlan so successfully coached ? That was the beginning of our career at E. F. A., but it was not until six months later, under the capable direction of Thomas Feeney, a senior, that we finally organized, with Bill Booth, president; Marion Delaney, vice-president; Catherine Shields, secretary; and Florence Toomey, treasurer. Under the guidance of our Patron Saint, Mr. Brong, our first functions were most successfully managed and we ended activities in June with a huge picnic at Brand Park. The next two years glided quickly by under the wise leadership of John Henry Way and John Copley. Let us recall briefly the main events of those two years. In 1922 E. F. A. won the state championship in football. Our class is proud of the fact that it helped support the team and cheer our men to victory. Another memorable event was the Bingo - E. F. A. day on February 22, 1924. George Houston of our class was on the winning debate team and Robert Brett helped capture the basketball victory. Elmira too, has progressed remarkably in these last four years. The beautiful bridge which spans the Chemung at Main Street was completed during our first year. In 1924 the new Southside High School was opened. This relieved the crowded condi- tion at E. F. A., affording more room in class rooms, halls, lockers, and best of all, assemblies. The handsome Steele Memorial Library and the Y. M. C. A., which is nearing completion, are the principal educational advancements. Now, once more under the leadership of our staunch classmate, John Henry Way, we are fast approaching June and graduation. One glorious event of our final year was the magnificent reception held November twenty-fifth at the Federation. Another notable function of our senior year was the Senior Get-together Party on February twenty-eighth in the Gym. Our parents and teachers met once more and enjoyed the entertainment which we prepared. Gladys Gantz played a piano solo and Eda Donen danced a Spanish Tango. Classes come and go in an unending stream and probably as viewed by those who see many of them, there is little to distinguish one from another. However, we sin- cerely hope that the members of the Class of Twenty-five will leave behind them a few footprints of good fellowship in the sands of time, and that the friendships formed at dear E. F. A. will prove a lasting memory. 44 THE A NN UA L—1925 Senior Class Poem When Night’s sable curtain is lifted, Revealing the dawn of the day; When the mist and the darkness of evening, Have passed from the earth away; When the sun with its glorious power Brightens the eastern sky; And tints of gold like wealth untold Light up the clouds on high— ’Tis then that the sleeping earth Takes on new power and life, And busy man, with strength renewed, Begins the toil and strife. So thus with each new dawning, Come chances for weal or woe ; We may win or lose by the way we choose, As the moments come and go. O, worthy class of E. F. A. O, Seniors of twenty-five; Before you is the day, Aim high and nobly strive. Commencement is the dawning Of the day of active life ; And heights attained by power gained, For the battle and the strife. Press onward, forward, upward, The heights are still before; The day dawn is behind you And its sun will rise no more. Strive for the best and the noblest, Be worthy of E. F. A’s halls; Until it be told like Sparta of old, That men are her castle walls. 45 —Esther Cooke. THE A NN UA L—l 925 Senior Census Name Appearance Occupation Ideal Future F.

They lived in a (Hoven)camp, and their names were Ferguson, Jennison, and Patterson. One boy that they met was a Rube (in) named Sam and he had a sister whose hair fell in long Tresses down Her (rick) back. But this story tells how Sam mett three other boys, Allen and Thomas and Mack. These fellows were very strange and put on Ayers and had funny Way(s) about them. They thought they were as wise as Solomon but they were destined for a great Paul. They went out to the Barnes and started Petting (ill) the Muel(ler) whose name was William(s). The mule was Little and at times seemed just to Craw(l), but he was a regular Buchan-bronco. These boys took the mule out of his Coop(er) and hitched him to a cart. They filled the cart with Corn(ell) and started for the Mill(er) so that the Baker who was a good Cooke and was Mark(’s) son could have some flour to make nice Brown Krum (s) and Cunningham and eggs and coffee. They assured the cook that they knew Howe to Stowe it away. Before they reached the mill the left Wheel(er) of the cart became Myer(d) in the mud. The boys were obliged to go back to the Barnes and get the Cow (ell) with one Horn (beck) to Turner around and pull them out. After a terrible struggle they reached the Miller who told them that they were Simps (on) and would Wager that before they reached the Parks they would not be able to tell White from Brown and that they would Tripp over a Mark and make a Hughes rip in their White clothes, and would have to go to the Taylor, Thomas by name, to have them mended. In order to fool him they took a boat down the river Jordan and began to Row (ley) down the stream. On the way they went By(strom) where the Ferris was and saw a (Fla)hive of bees, a black-Smith, a Drake, and a Martin. They became so ab- sorbed in these things that they struck a Riffe and being scared Starke stiff, fell into a trap set with Bates. Let this be a lesson to those who Turn(er) from the straight and narrow Way and do not carry their (S)torch so high. Don’t say I Kant(z) but say I Will(iams) and you will make your Mark in the world and be a Fried-man. 47 THE ANNUAL—1925 Adams, Kenneth Ahn, Betty Allan, Gilbert Allen, Lillian Andrus, Kenneth Baird, Mildred Baker, Charlotte Baltimore, Adelaide Bartlett.

Copley, President Martha Walster, Vice-president % Katherine Hill, Secretary Norman Creighton, Treasurer THE officers and members of the Council, each year, have most efficiently co-oper- ated with the faculty and student body in the various activities of the school. It has been our aim this year to give the very best service, in order to promote the interests of the school and maintain this same harmonious atmosphere. After our principal and his co-workers outlined the field of duty, we endeavored to follow their suggestions and execute their plans to the best of our ability. Our tasks have been many and varied, ranging from matters of great import to those of lesser moment; but with the cheerful co-operation of the students we have accomplished the work assigned to us. It is the pleasure of the Student Council of 1925 to leave to its successors the spirit of the ideal E. F. A. 57 THE ANNUAL—1925 The Vindex This year, Vindex won the highest honor of any Eastern high school paper. At a conference of the Eastern Interscholastic Publications, held at Ithaca late last fall, it carried off the prize. For three successive years the Rochester East High paper, the “Clarion,” had claimed this prize but this year it gracefully took second place. The judges made the remark that the “Clarion” did not fall below its usual high standard, but this year it was surpassed by the Vindex. Special effort had been applied to three issues this year. The issue before the annual Bingo football game had six pages and was appropriately printed in blue ink, displaying the school colors of blue and white. This was the paper that was awarded first prize. At Christmas time another special edition of eight pages was published. This had red and green cuts on the front page. It received a large sale and was thought by many to be the best number of the year. The third feature edition came in the latter part of February to commemorate the twenty-fifth anniversary of the Vindex. This issue printed pictures of the school in 1900 and of the members of the Faculty of 1910. It greatly interested the readers to note what members of the Faculty today were teach- ing then, and also the change in the mode of dress. The success of the Vindex was largely due to the cooperation of Charlotte Kolb, editor; Robert Bruce, assistant editor; Dalton Minard, business manager; and the'! advisor, Miss Berrigan. Each one has worked faithfully making the Vindex not only a successful paper but also a financial success. 58 THE ANNUAL—1925 59 THE ANNUAL 1925 Forum Rorert Dudley Charles Kromer George Houston Anthony Cieri John Mack ....... Mr. Cooke ....... FORUM started the year with an extensive campaign that brought in a large num- ber of new candidates. On December ninth these candidates were initiated and awarded full membership in the club. Members of the club have taken prominent parts in school affairs throughout the year. Many of the subjects that supplied matter for the weekly debates were of local interest. These topics furnished a field of originality that allowed opportunity for practice and experience. The social season of j?orum began in a blaze of glory on October thirty-first with a Hallowe’en Dance in the Gym. The club has been generally successful in it enterprises during the year. The zenith of its purpose was attained by the selection of an entire Academy debating team from among its members. Also, Forum has been put on a firm financial basis and is in a position to offer better opportunities and advantages to its members during the ap- proaching year than ever before. ........President ...Vice-President .........Secretary .......Treasurer Sergeant at Arms ..........Advisor 160 THE A NN UA L—1925 Agora Lillian Friedman Norma Huntley Pauline Cooper .. Mary Martin .... .....President Vice-President .....Secretary ....Treasurer WITH the closing of the present school term the Agora Debating Society will have completed one of the most successful years in the history of the club. For the first time a debate was held between the girls of the Binghamton Central High School and the Agora Debating Society. The question was: Resolved: That Capital Punishment should be abolished. The Elmira team, composed of Catherine Craw, leader, Mary Catherine Lewis, Veronica O’Brien and Pauline Cooper, alter- nate, upheld the negative side of the question. Monthly debates were also held with the Forum Debating Club. A distinctly new arrangement introduced this year for the first time was the holding of the meetings during the noon hour, preceded by luncheons. A business meet- ing was held first, and then the program was in charge of a committee. Interesting features were often added to the meetings by mock trials, dialogues, speeches, and ex- temporaneous debates between two of the girls. The chief aim of the meetings, however, was to develop gook speakers by holding debates on important questions of the day. The success of the Club this year was due largely to the efforts of Miss Kellogg, the faculty advisor who took up the work so well begun by Miss Finder. 61 THE ANNUAL-1925 School Spirit Society S. S. S. is in the midst of a very busy and successful year—both in business and in fun. The gatherings devoted to entertainment such as spreads and parties provided an incentive for us to do our best to raise funds for the better display of our school spirit. In October we had a Hallowe’en dance and everyone who came enjoyed an even- ing of mystery in the company of witches, goblins and ghosts, which created an ensemble that is dear to the hearts of all who observe Hallowe’en as an eve hallowed by the super- natural. Early in the season our programs were delightfully enlivened with entertain- ing talks by Miss Kellogg and Miss Clearwater, who told of their trip abroad. It has been our custom to have a spread every month. On these occasions the Domestic Science room abounds with the cheer of a sumptuous repast, and fairly radi- ates the spirit of progressiveness which has been made the guiding star of our organiza- tion. We usually terminated our fetes with a theatre party or an interesting program. One memorable event of early Spring was a straw ride followed by dancing and re- freshments at Myra Tripp’s home. Under the able guidance of our Librarian, Miss Henning, the past season has been a very successful one, and we have had a host of good times. At the same time we have been able to accomplish a great deal toward furthering our school spirit. At pres- ent, plans are underway to make the annual May dance the social climax of our season. We feel that we can review the events of the past year with pride, but we are not going to stop there. With the past to light our way we are dedicating our organization to the betterment of all that tends for happiness at the Elmira Free Academy. 62 THE A NN UA L—1925 Debating Teams G. Ferris C.

This fact was evidenced by the ad- dition of many new members and an increase of popular interest in the affairs of the club. Masquers opened its year on October second in the Auditorium with the rendi- tion of two plays, “The Knave of Hearts” and “The Three Wishes.” After this performance all efforts concentrated on Masquers’ big event of the year, the presenta- tion of “Penrod” on November 25. New members and old combined their energies to make “Penrod” long remembered by those who crowded the Auditorium to witness its presentation. The success of “Penrod” rewarded its patient and energetic cast. Masquers assisted in the erection of new stage curtains and other improvements to the Auditorium stage.

It is true that we lost three games, to Bingo, Syracuse and Union Endicott, but, unfortunately, early in the season the team was handicapped by injuries to several of our first string men. How- ever, the spirit which had been instilled by Coach Hirst could not be broken and mani- fested itself even after defeat. The squad that worked so faithfully for this spirit and success were P.

H. S. is making an emphatic bid for the state basketball championship. The local quint again accomplished the record feat of winning the sectional title without the loss of a game. The offensive swept through the Southern Tier compiling the highest team total and placing all five varsity regulars among the fourteen high individual scorers. They allowed their opponents the second lowest total of points, but the backfield combination of DeFilippo and Watkins was accepted as the best in the league. The individual rankings showed DeFilippo second, McNamara third, Watkins fifth, Elliott seventh and Kantz fourteenth. Coach Hirst has built a smooth working quintet that is considered one of the best of E. H. S’s many championship teams. Floor-play, passing and basket making denotes machine-like precision that has yet to be fathomed by an opponent. The defensive play is of a caliber that makes opponent field goals from close approximities impossible. Re- serve material is well versed in the varsity style of play and have performed creditably On all occasions. The entire squad, regulars and reserves, will receive their letters, as will the team manager, Fowler Carpenter.

These animals, as well as smaller game, furnished food and raiment for the redskinned foresters. The river teemed with fish, notably the shad, which were taken in immense quan- tities and smoked and dried for future use. In this occupation they used bone hooks, nets and spears. Buried in the banks and in many a gravelly knoll all along the river, are old men who lived scores of years whetting their intellects in the constant struggle for self-pres- ervation, whose only pleasurable excitement was found in facing danger, whose only repose was to recuperate preparatory to participating in new and thrilling adventures. These people, whose bravery and self-devotion find no parallels in the preserved tradi- tions of all history, whose simple tale would pale the imaginative creations of our most popular hedonists, ended their career in many instances on the war path, singing their death song. There are but few persons who give much thought to the probable age of arrow- heads, now and then found, yet these may be 300 years old or they may have an age of several thousand years. Archeologists in estimating past time do not figure by years, but by periods; that is they tie up in packages, as it were, hundreds and thousands of years and hand them out labelled “periods”, and every arrow-head, stone-hatchet or fragment of a baked clay pot represents the culture of a certain period. There are four periods represented by the stone artifacts found in the Chemung valley. First, the rougher artifacts of a crude race who used tools and weapons con- structed of argillite alone, as opposed to the great variety of materials worked by the later Indians; second, later man who used rhyolite in making his arrows, knives and spears, and carved cooking vessels from the soapstone quarries in Pennsylvania; third, the remains of man who made beautiful notched flint arrows and spears and delighted in articles of polished stone; fourth, in the dark discolored earth are the undisputed re- mains of the Iroquois and Delaware Indians, who left triangular arrow-heads and frag- ments of clay pots. From East Corning to Waverly there are more than 100 camp and village sites, counting a few along Sing Sing, Newtown and Seeley creeks not remote from the river. The country to the southeast of Big Flats, supported at one time a dense Indian population—probably the Andaste, although some of the pottery found there indicate later Algonkian (Delaware) occupancy. 74 THE ANNUAL—1925 From Fitch’s Bridge to the pumping station on Windsor Avenue there is almost an unbroken succession of camp and village sites. About midway between West Water Street and Rorick’s Glen bridge is the be- ginning of an ancient village site of the second culture which extends about forty rods to the west. In fact, the street car line to Rorick’s Glen entrance passes directly over the eastern boundary of this village site. This stretch of land was high and dry in times of freshets and floods, and seems to have been peculiarly suited to the tastes of the redmen. The thousands of thin rhy- olite flakes and other remains of their industry, scattered over the ground, remind the white intruder at every turn of his erstwhile presence. Hundreds of rhyolite arrow and spear heads have been picked up along this ridge, as well as many pieces of soapstone dishes. At the westerly end of the village site, and overlapping it to some extent, is an- other village site which was occupied at a much later period; and here notched flints and polished stone articles abound. From Elmira east to the Pennsylvania state line near Waverly, both banks of the river and many inland terraces have been occupied in succession for thousands of years, and the relics of early man, later man, and still later man, or Iroquois and Algonkian are to be found on all natural camping places. Above are some of the fading footprints of the historic and pre-historic races who once roamed up and down the Chemung and whose entire history may be summed up in a few words—fragments and dust. In a few centuries more all that will be left to remind us that other races once occupied this valley will be the historic, legendary or descriptive names they have left to river, vale or meadow. The prettiest of these belong to the immediate locality, She-do-wa meaning the “Great Plain” on which now stands Elmira, and Chemung, meaning “Big Horn”, the name which they gave to the river. —Contributed. £ Ga-on-seh, or Baby Frame 75 Snapshots 7 6 THE ANNUAL—1925 Compliments of ELMIRA PHYSICIANS Members of ELMIRA FREE ACADEMY ALUMNI Floyd Jones, M.

Achievements, prosperity and power await in that bigger sphere - - they are for those who prepared to meet the conditions, who are willing to play the game. jOne of the first requisites is a plan—a plan which insures progress tomorrow based on the achievement of today. And that plan must include the development of a reserve — a re- serve which represents the productiveness of persistent labor and upon which permanent progress to big success is based.

At last the fatal week approached, His revels now were ended; To Algebra and Chemistry His addled thoughts were bended. He studied hard, he crammed and crammed. He boned and boned and boned, Until at last he grew confused— “I’ll never pass,” he groaned. His first exam was Algebra; The fact he did deplore. The formula for plotting graphs Was H2S04. As he went on to History, He still more addled grew Did Caesar capture Bunker Hill In 1492? Last but not least—his French exam; His brain one din and clamor. “Allez-vous aujourd ’hui?” it said, “Si, senor, manana.” This little poem a moral bears, So hark to the story true Of Willie Green, whose hard-worked brain Failed to pull him through. 95 THE ANNUAL—1925 Harry L.

Grotesque shadows hovered and sped here and there over the landscape and made it rather difficult for those who were traveling (5) automobiles.

Even the screech owl, the raccoon and wild pheasants that evince no alarm during the light of day when they re- main in seclusion in the (4) and bushes, gave away their hiding places by noises of alarm. The outstanding sight of the whole eclipse for humans was the brilliance of the sun just as the outer edge of the moon left it.

Rockey The Sharis zJKCillinery DENTIST MAIN AND WATER STREETS East Water at State Street 113 THE ANNUAL—1925 Life To the pessimist, life is a long vale of tears; To the dull and indifferent, a succession of years; To the man who has failed at making success, Life is apt to appear a chaotic mess; To the optimist, it is a wee bit of heaven; To the wise, a school for our betterment given; To the ambitious, a school of relentless hard knocks; To the weakling, a pathway all covered with rocks: To the man who looks on with nothing to say, Life is but a bore, day after day. One fact is evident, one thing is plain— Life is what we make it, all joy or all pain. G. H. e§P J. T.

I blew a pile of dough on you two years ago, And now you refuse to go Or won’t or can’t. Through town and countryside, you were my joy and pride, A happy day. I loved thy gaudy hue, thy nice white tire so new, But now you’re down and through, In every way. To thee, old rattletrap, came many bumps and knocks, For thee I grieve. Badly thy top is torn, frayed are thy seats and worn. A whooping cough affects thy horn, I do believe. The motor has the grippe, thy spark plug has the pip, And woe is thine. I, too, have suffered chills, ague and kindred ills, Endeavoring to pay my bills, Since thou wert mine. When a car goes by ship And a shipment goes by car, And the black- berries are red When really green they are, When a house burns up or down, And of blown-up tires one speaks, No wonder it fools the Portugese The Armenians and the Greeks.

Our work and pastime out-of-doors ought to make us more fit and ready for our tasks indoors. Girls and boys, women and men, have equal rights, but duties differing according to their abilities; and for all of us the first thing is to learn to perform our job well, and the in- dispensable thing is to help others in the spirit of good will. Every girl ought to know how to light a fire, to cook a meal, to sew, to swim, to run, to row, and as many other useful things as possible. Nothing mean or false is worthy of us, and nothing fine or brave is impossible for us with God’s help. Henry Van Dyke 117 Compliments oi Mrs. A. D.
