Mater, Object of our praise.--CHARLES M. LILLIE 5 Faculty and Student Body of Central School-June, 1934 Principal's Report to the Board of Education The past school year has been one of helpful growth, par- ticularly in the Academic Department where the number of students enrolled has increased from 51 to 62. During the first year of centralization our enrollment was 261, the second year 284 and the past year 291. The teachers, without excep- tion, have given faithful, devoted service and have striven to maintain a high quality of instruction, using modern methods of grouping as indicated by achievement and intelligence tests insofar as this is practical under present conditions. This pro- cedure gives greater scope to tho use of projects to create and maintain interest and seems to provide the most opportunities for individual instruction. 1 Our health exminations were carried out with dispatch last fall. Following these inspections, all parents whose chil- dren were found with defects were notified of them. One hun- dred and fifty-six children, or over 50 per cent of the student body, were reported with cavities in teeth, 43 pier cent with en- larged tonsils, 51 children, or more than 17 per cent, were vndernourished and 12 per cent were reported with defective vision. That the health of the child bears a very close connecl tion with his success in school Work and later life is an axiom that cannot be disputed. School authorities are aware that money spent on health service pays dividends through increased attendance, better scholastic work and consequent longer hold- ing power of the school, fmore students entering 'High Schoc- and graduatingj, to say nothing of the gent-ral benefits to the community. I would strongly recommend- that parents and the school co-operate in a more comprehensive health program through Qlj the employment of a dental hygienist and schoo nurse jointly with several other neighboring central school dit- tricts. Q2j The serving of milk to undernourished children during school hours and having hot lunches av .ilable to them and to others who cannot go home for lunch during the noon hour. This can be done through the Home Economics Depart- ment and was started very successfully last winter. Q35 The employment of aphysical training director, who might teach some academic subjects as well. The training of such a teacher 7 is concerned primarily with building and maintaining a health- ful student body and not with coaching athletic teams, although the latter duty is not a minor one and is sorely needed by our school. Two instances of the co-operation of outside organizations with our schools are worthy of special mention in this report. The first is the home instruction being given to Robert Cran- dall by Mrs. Tillson of the Hakes School. Robert is a cripple, unable to leave his wheel chair, but he is progressing rapidly with his studies and much happiness is coming into his life as a result. This home teaching is made possible through the Crippled Childrens Bureau of the State Department of Edu- cationj and much. 'credit is due Superintendent Preston for securing their aid. The second is the purchase of glasses for several of the students whose eyesight is impaired. This was made possible through the generosity of the local chapter of the American Red Gross. It is surely a very praiseworthy and sensible use of funds and is in line with the best traditiiins of this great organization. 3 For many years educators have advocated the study of Civics in our schools as a means for iuculcating the principles of free government was laid down by the founders of our Re- public. ' Of late thissubject has been the object of the closest scrutiny with the result that the content has been modified to meet the needs of present day conditions. The fundamental concepts are retained but the right relationship between the citizen and his family, his neighbors and his community are now stressed more than ever before. This teaching has prac- tical applications in school government, school f clubs and school athletics in which students are given a larger and larger con- trol. Another result has been the institution of courses in Ed- ucational and Vocational Guidance -and in Economic Citizen- ship in our curriculum. In these +the study of thrift makes up an important part. One of the concomitants of the latter may well be the establishment of a school bank, in which students may actually start an account and regularly-vdeposit their sav- ings however small they may be. I believe -lthat such an en- terprise could be carried out successfully, in this school and would be well worth the eifort. 1 ' 8 Several of the departments and innovations established since centralization deserve special commendation. One hun- dred and seventy-four, or 60 per cent of our- student body, have been transported daily either by the three district owned busses or bythe tive cars under private contract. Through along severe winter the trips have been made successfully twice each day, the children arriving at school and returning home dry warm and comfortable The drivers certainly deserve to feel justly proud of this achievement. Our Music Department has been thoroughly trained under the competent direction of Mrs. Waterman. We are hoping to have a larger orchestra next year. Once established it should be a real source of pride and inspiration to our school and community: We are very grateful to Dr. and Mrs. Fuller and to the entire cast of Piuafore , which was so successfully presented in this and other towns last winter, for their very generous gift of money which is to be used for the purchase of musical instru- ments. A iifekand drum corps has been suggested as a com- panion organization to the orchestra and glee clubs and if such an idea meets with the approval of the students one will be or- ganized if possible. It is planned next year to recommence the extension of regular musical training, as well as the supervision of physical education to all the branch schools. The employ- ment of Mr. Stowell will, no doubt, make this possible. The Commercial Department under the leadership of Miss Slocum continues to be successful and popular with many of the High School students. It oifers a complete course leading to a commercial diploma or valuable elective courses, the fore- most of which are typewriting, commercial arithmetic and in- troduction to business. The Agricultural and Homemaking Departments are now organized on a half time basis and next year the teachers will be employed jointly with Mt. Upton Central School. These departments oifer courses leading to the vocational diplomas or as electives giving credit toward any of the State academic diplomas. We welcome Miss Lyon and Mr. Eskeli to our schools. Miss Lyon will live in Gilbertsville and Mr. Eskeli in Mt. Upton. Both will have cars so that Home Project work may be supervised and 4-H Club work be introduced again particulariy among the younger students in the branch schools. 9 n Text books were furnished by the school in the first and second grades last year. The plan was very successful from the learning standpoint and I believe met with the full ap- proval of the parents. I recommend that this plan he extended to the third and fourth grades next year and to the rest of the school as soon as practical. It is entirely feasible from an economic standpoint and certainly increases the efficiency of a class so equipped. In many communities Parent-Teacher Associations are active and give a great impetus to Worth while activities leadil g to a better school system. I feel that such an organization here would do much good. There are constant challenging problems to discuss and solve, particularly since centralization has brought together a much larger school unit. In closing, a Word of appreciation to those members of the faculty who are leaving us is most certainly due. Mrs. Deitz, Miss Tarnsett, Miss Gregory, Mrs. Waterman, Mrs. Holden and Mr. and Mrs. Neher have each given to our school several years of valuable and efficient service. I am sure that the boys and girls they have helped so much join with me in wish- ing them every success in new fields of work. 10 WHAT THE HIGH 'SCHOOL OFFERS The objectives of our High School cirricula are three-fold, they are QIJ to prepare for college. Q29 to prepare for business. Q33 to prepare for use- ful community life on the farm or in town or city. In setting up those specific objectives the school endeavors to indulcate the seven cardinal principles of education-without which the various courses would in themselves be of little value. These are : 1. Health. 2. Command of fundamental processes. 3. Worthy Home Membership, K 4. Knowledge of a Vocation. 5 Citizenship. 6. Worthy use of leisure. 7. Ethical character. Every course cifered has intrinsic value and the student should feel that he is not pursuing them merely as a means to gain the required 15 units for graduation. However, each student should so plan his work that graduation with a State Diploma will be accomplished. To this end the following out- line of courses by years is suggested. It should serve' merely as a guide. Children should consult with parents and teachers frequently, particularly before the opening of school, so that they may wisely make decisions which will lead to the best choice of subjects adapted to their interests and needs.

Hutton at the Baptist church last Sunday even- ing. So teach us to number our days that we may apply our hearts unto wisdom, was the text of Mr. Hutton's inspiring sermon, in which he stressed five' important values of high school education: Financial, social, cultural, personal.and spiritual. . The graduating..classuthis yearsconsists of eight members: Charles Nearing, presidentg.Shir1ey.Va11..Valkenberg, vice president: Marie Soren- sen, secretary and treasurerg William Daniels, Edna Freer, Ruth Gibson, Pearl Harris and Norma Sargent. p The commencement exercises were held in the town hallon Monday evening, June 25, 1934, which was-prettily.decorated by the juniors with the class flowers, red 'andvvhite roses, interspersed with peonies and ferns. The class banner, made by Dorothy Foster, washung above the stage, the result making a most pleasing background for''the'exercisesyvhich be- gan at 8:15 p. m., after a short opening prayer by' Rev. L. V. S. Hutton. The seniors chose, for their graduating- essays various phases of the New Deal. It is interesting to wonder if, in years to come, a person looking over, the program will know what.it was allabout and be able to deciper the initials that were used for the titles to several of the articles. Norma ,Sargent 'delivered the salutatory and briefly outlined the salient points thattthe administration was striving for. Shirley Van Valkenberg read, his essay on the Civilian Conservation corps which later was to he awarded 'first prize in the English. essay contest. Ruth Gibson, the third speaker, told of the work accomplished and results hoped for under the Tennesee Valley Authority, which controls great projects for the produc- tion of electricity and fertilizers including Muscle Shoals. Pearl Harris and Norma Sargent next gave a piano duet Dark Eyes, a Russion Gipsy air, which was most pleasing to the large audience. Marie Sorensen then read the fourth paper of the evening, descriping in a very interesting manner the Civil Vlfork administration. William Daniels followed with an essay on the Agricultural Adjustment Act show- ing how the administration was trying to help the farmers of the nation. Pearl Harris next described the great effort to stimulate industry and re- employ idle men through the Public Vvorks administration. The girls' glee club then sang two songs, Out On the Deep, by Zohr, and Last Night, by Kjerulf, with Mrs. Seaman at the piano, These were well received by everyone and added much to the enjoyment of the evening. Edna Freer, the next speaker, gave a very clear description of Roose- velt's Monetary policy which has played such an important part in the financial life of the nation the past year. Charles Nearing delivered the final address summing up the many efforts that the administration had made for the recovery of the nation from financial stress and then pronounced the valedictory. The award of prizes and the prcsentationof diplomas followed, the program being closed by the singing of the Alma Mater, led by Walter Graig with the cornet. The prizes were as follows: 16 L I 510.00 from Mrs. Kuno Francke in memory of her cousin, Mr. Joseph T. Gilbert. Awards were made as follows: English essay, first prize, 33.00 to Shirley Van Valkenberg for his essay, The Civilian Conservation Corps and the Forests.

After the prizes had been awarded, Mr. Seaman spoke of the 'trophy cups and emblems which had been awarded during the year, and which were on display. These consisted of a loving cup won in the one-act play contest of the Tri-Valley League. A watch charm suitably engraved won by Henry Nearing in the prize speaking contest of the league, two small loving cups won by Ruth Gibson and Everett Sargent in foul shooting contests in basketball and two plaques presented to Vivian Cloughen and James Moore by Scholastic Magazine as winners in the tennis tourna- ment. which we have held on the court at Quarry Hill through the gen- erosity of Mrs. Francke and Prof. and Mrs. Smith. 17 Report of Grades and High School Work FIRST GRADE The first grade students have been unusually fortunate this year in being able to go through the year with very little interruption because of epidemics. Chapel has been a ti1ne of great pleasure and greater participation for the small children since we have had primary chapel alone, rather than with the higher grades and high school. We have done four major activity unit studies! 1. Farm. 2. Doll House. 3. Garden. 4. Circus. We have gained rapidly in our ability to read. A great part of this gain has been due to our pleasure in reading from the new readers which the Board of Education has furnished this year. l1... ..l. SECOND GRADE The second grade has had a total registration of nineteen for the year. The attendance has been better than we reported last year. The year has been lilled with work and pleasure and has passed too quickly. A love for reading has been developed to a marked degree, and an increas- ing interest has been shown in all subjects throughout the year. THIRD AND FOURTH GRADES The third and fourth grades began the year with forty-four pupils. We have lost some of our members and gained others. At one time our number was forty-seven. We come now, at the end of the year, with forty-four members. Our room had charge of the Thanksgiving progra.mwin general as- sembly. We gave the same program for our mothers at ou'r Thanksgiving party. Thislyear we have enjoyed moving pictures as well as slides in con- nection with our geography work. The sand table has also been used in correlation with geography. Miss Mirick has very capably had charge of our Bible Study work again this year. In nature study work we have had many live specimens to study in- cluding: Turtles, pigeons, tad poles, salamanders, moths and butterllies. Hygiene has been interesting with our Clean Hands paint book to help us along the path to cleanliness. Our year has been most delightful and helpful to both teacher and pupils so we have well earned our summer's vaeationt T.. ,,, GRADES FIVE AND SIX The closing school year has been very pleasant in many respects. A brisk contest in both history and geography has raised our averages and taught us better how to study these subjects. NVe have given three pro- grams, the outstanding one being that given at the Town Hall on Me- 18 L I morial Day. Our room boasts of three members in the school orchestra and several who hope to qualify by another year. The spring months have brought much of unusual interest in the out-of-doors and its lessons in na- ture and science. As the year closes most of us feel that wehavc acquired interests which will carry over into something to be developed into a hobby or a deeper life interest. - SHAW SCHOOL. DISTRICT NO. 3 The Shaw School opened this year with an attendance of seven. Two more came the last of May. Our attendance for the iirst five months was 100 percent. The average for the year is 99 percent, an excellent average for small children, considering the severe weather we have had. There are five pupils who have neither been absent nor tardy during the year, The pupils received 515 for their Morris Fair project. We had a party for Hallowe'en and a Christmas entertainment. On Arbor Day we cleaned the schoolhouse and yard. In the after noon we went on a Nature Study field trip and had a picnic. VVe are planning on the movies for the last day of school. The chil- dren would rather go to the movies than have a picnic. , TOWNLINE SCHOOL. DISTRICT NO. 4 Registration for the year was seven. It will probably be the same next year. Two pupils, Katherine Stark and Richard Gratsinger, have been present every day and have not been tardy. Several school parties have been given for the children, and one for the parents at Thanksgiving. The annual Christmas party was, as usual, a great success. It was held at Mr. and Mrs. Stanley Wilbe1 s. A short three-act play, Grandpa's Christmas Spree, was given, in addition to the Christmas tree and a supper. Woi'k and play have gone smoothly. A unit on the Far North and a unit on Holland were enjoyed by the children. Altogether, we have en- joyed a pleasant and profitable school year. ' LOBDELL DISTRICT NO. 6 We felt ourselves very fortunate in numbering thirteen. Since then one has left but three new ones have entered, leaving us with fifteen. On Friday mornings we decided to have a short assembly period when we sang, gave recitations and tried to do as our bigger brothers and sisters who come to the Central school do. ' At Christmas we fixed a stage and presented two plays. Although this was our first appearance in drainatics and one of our girls had to be the miserly uncle, we did very well. After vacation, when the thermometer was registering between thirty and forty below, we spent our spare time on jig-saw puzzles and became quite clever at them, Of necessity, we postponed our Valentine party, just having our valentine box, until Saint Pa'trick's day. Then we all be- came Irish and spent at very pleasant afternoon and served refreshments. When Arbor Day arrived, we gave the building and the school grounds the customary cleaning. After placing all our dead grass and leaves, as well as small sticks, on the brush pile we set it on fire and between showers roasted hot dogs and marshmallows. 9 During the past few weeks our every recess, noon hour, and spare time before nine has been spent in developing a very efficient baseball team. Vve feel we would now be able to take on any team around these parts. 'We are very anxious for the last day of school to arrive for we expect to spend it at Gilbert Lake. All in all, we feel we have spent a. very enjoyable as well as profitable year. .-.i.....l.,... HAKES' SCI-IOOL. DISTRICT NO. 8 Our attendance this year has been thirteen pupils, except for about a month in the middle of the year. Shirley Smith has the honor of perfect attendance, having been neither absent nor tardy for the year. Two chil- dren, Loyal Shoemaker and Shirley Smith, have finished their work in this school and will enter the seventh grade at Gilbertsville or elsewhere this fall. At Christmas time, we enjoyed a Christmas program and tree. On Arbor Day, we cleaned up the school grounds and planted a small flower garden, We observed Flag Day by singing patriotic songs with flags and giving the flag salute. Last February our school subscribed to the Weekly Reader for the various grades. This periodical has been very enjoyable as well as in- structive to the pupils. VVe will all be interested to hear that our little crippled friend, Robert Crandall, has enjoyed a very profitable year. He has completed the work of the fourth grade, plus iifth reading and spelling. On the whole, we have passed a very successful year and will close with a picnic at the Tillson Homestead. MAPLE GROVE. DISTRICT NO. 6 tMORRlSl Maple Grove scli-ool has had a. shifting enrollment this year. Last fall fourteen pupils were enrolled, Later two were changed to Oneonta, three to Gilbertsville and two to Morris. This spring three from South Edmeston were added to the enrollment. 310.72 was taken in on the school exhibit at the Morris Fair. This money was used for swings and books. A May Day party vi as enjoyed at the home of the teacher by twenty- two of the children who are now enrolled and those who have gone on to other schools. Enjoyable programs were held for Hallowe'en, Thanks- giving, Christmas and at the close of school a promotion exercise and an- nual community picnic was enjoyed. 20 HOMEMAKING DEPARTMENT 1 Rear Row : Julia. Swenningsen, Dorothy Foster, Norma Snr ent, Edna Freer Front Row : Lois Musson, Luella. Filer, Mrs. Neher, Ciristina. Heath, Carol Kilsby. In September, 1931, the itinerant type of Vocational Homcmaking was introduced in the program of High School subjects. Since this school was one of five schools in the same circuit, it was impossible to receive more than four class periods of instruction per week per school. The clothing course was introduced the ilrst year since that required less equipment than any other course of instruction. Twelve Highschool girls entered the work and ten finished the course. During the year of 1932-33 the worn was increased to two half days each week and the courses offered were Elementary Foods and Home Furnishing. The enrollment increased to eighteen High school pupils. During this school year the class furnished three rooms in the house formerly occupied by the Principal and familyg all of our Hoxnemaking classes were conducted in the house during the last two years. The year of '1933-34 has found more time spent and more pupils receiving the instruction. The various courses were given daily and also the seventh and eighth grades were required to take Homemaking. There were thirty-four pupils registered this last yearp the subjects offered were Foods, Home Management and Home Nursing, and the grade work which was an exploratory type. I A very interesting hot lunch project was introduced and managed by the High school students. They formed a club, elected ofhcers and prepar- ed and served food at noon to the pupils in order to procure funds for their treasury, At times sixty-tive pupils were served. The food for this project was purchased and paid for- out of the proceeds, and the club of the girls received the profits. The girls were very successful in their undertaking and have been highly praised by people who appreciate the limited time, space and equipment. We hope that this project may be repeated next year. 21 AGRICULTURAL DEPARTMENT. 1933-34 l AA. Rear : Charles Nearing, Vernon Wilber, Mr. Neher, Lewis Brown, Clifford Wilber. Front: Benjamin Barse, Robert Halbert, Vivan Tilyou, Darvin Carnell. This year Agriculture I and Agriculture III were offered. One day per week was devoted to shop work. Agriculture I was a study of types of farming in the community and sources of income of people in the school area. It included the following: A study of pupils' home farm: A home farm improvement program: Pupils' project programs: Beginning and op- eration of projects: Study of subject matter related to pupils' projects by the job analysis method. Agriculture III was composed of: A study of Farm Management and Agricultural Economics: Analyzing the farm business and studying the fac- tors iutiuencing the farmers' Labor Income: A study of commodity prices and causes and remedies for the 1929-33 depression: A study of gold and its relation to commodity prices: A study of common diseases of farm animals--causes, remedies, and prevention: A study of fertilizers-chem- istry and home mixing of fertilizers : A study of marketing farm products: A study of reforestation-States Land Utilization Policy: A study of bees --colony life, management, honey production: A study of Agricultural Financing--Federal Farm Loan Act, Emergency Farm Loan Act, Produc- tion Credit Loans, etc. One of our important activities is the Future Farmers Club of the But- ternut Valley. The following boys are members: Charles Nearing, Presl- dontp Benjamin Barse, Secretary-Treasurer: Wilber Heath, Clifford Wilber, Donald Filer, Lewis Brown, John Bushnell, Robert Halbert, and Gerald 0'Brien. The field trips are the most interesting and educational part of Agri- culture. We have had several of these trips getting the record of a yea1 s business of farms in the community, several on dairy stable ventilation and floor plans, and several on judging dairy cattle. We have also had one on potato growing and one on bee keeping. Five members of the Agriculture classes attended the Farm and Home Week held in Ithaca in February. 22' COMMERCIAL DEPARTMENT Our Commercial Department has progressed rapidly since last year. Last year there were twenty-seven pupils registered. This year there are forty registered. XVe have had, also, two new subjects this year, making the following subjects available: Bookkeeping I and II, Typewritiug I, Commercial Arithmetic, Introduction to Business, and the two new subjects, Business English and Commercial Law. It was necessary to have two typewriting classes this year in order to accommodate the pupils wishing to take the subjectp The typewriting classes have aided rnucl. in the work of the school. They have stenciled and mimeographed programs necessary for the school play, prize speaking and the track meet. This has saved expense for the school and has also furnished training for the commercial classes. The business classes, with the aid of the English Club, have also published the school paper, the Alma Mater. All of: this, we think, goes to show the splendid progress and co- operation of our Commercial Department. MUSIC Orchestra and Cleo Glub. I --4 28 In the early fall of this school term we gave, at the Town Hall, a musicale which pupils of all ages helped to make a success. Some of the numbers' were: Group singing by the grades, individual instrumental solos, tthe Rhythm Band and the Girls' High School Glee Club. Our music department used the proceeds for our own musical needs by purchasing sew glee club song books, new instruments for the rhythm band and song ooks. The grade work in music has advanced this year, especially in the tlfth and sixth grades.. We did some very good work in two-part singing and the pupils seemedto enjoy reading the different parts. A Wooden Shoe Christmas was given at our Christmas entertain- ment which proved to be a very entertaining and successful operetta. Betty Stebbins took the part of Katrina, a Dutch girl, with Hans, as her brother, played by Albert Davis, and their Dutch mother and father por- trayed by Huldah Foster and Robert Halbert. ,A Our orchestra has suffered from the lack of older players this year but we have a good start now for next year. We hope we can get more in- struments and build up a larger and better orchestra in the years to come. We have a large High School Girls' Glee Club composed of some very good singers who are now memorizing two selections for the commence- ment exercises. The Town Choral Club gave us titty dollars which was left over from the opera, Pinafore, which was given this last winter. It is to be used in buyinginstruments for the school. We are thinking of buying a drum set for the orchestra. Some boy next year can be the lucky one to play them. We trust the work in music for 1933-34 will make for happier and more interested students in our school. - OPERETTA A Wooden Shoe Christmas. December 14, 1933. S4 Extra--Curricular Activities PRIZE SPEAKING Rear: John Bushnell, Everett Sargent, Pearl Harris, Henry Nearing, Robert White, Albert Davis. V Front : Elizabeth Stebbins, Jean Woodlands, Marion Polley, Belle Coon. 1 ...-lui. The west sectional prize-speaking contest was held at Laurens, Friday evening, April twenty-fifth. Pearl Harris and Henry Nearing- represented the Gilbertsvllle Central School. Other contestants were from Hartwick, Edmeston, Mt. Upton and Laurens. First place for boys and girls went to Elizabeth Ainslie and Bernard Gillette, both of Hartwick. Second place for boys and girls was given to Mabel Anderson of Ednleston and Henry Near-' ing of Gilbertsville. The score sheet, however, showed a very close rating between Bernard Gillette and Henry Nearing for iirst place. The Gllbertsville contestants were under the able coaching of Mrs: Shaw. Their interpretations were most convincing. The flnal prize-speaking contest of the Tri-Valley League was also held at Laurens, Friday evening, May fourth. The west section was repres sented by contestants from Hartwick, Edmeston and Gilbertsville and the east section by Schenevus, Westford and East. Yvorcester. Richard Rodda of Schenevus and Elizabeth Ainslie of Hartwick won ilrst places respective- ly. Again, Henry Nearing very nearly placed second. 25 Our loca.l prize-speaking, under the excellent direction of Mrs. Shel- don Carr, was hold in the Town Hall, Monday evening, May seve11tl1. It was a pronounced success from beginning to end.

Musical numbers were given by a number of high SCIIOOI girls. It was an evening 1nucl1 enjoyed by a good-sized audience. THE MERCHANT OF VENICE On Tuesday night, April twenty-fourth, about forty of the Gilberts- ville students went in one of tl1e school buses to Oneonta to the High school auditorium to see one of Sliakespeares most famous plays, The Merchant of Venice. The play was given by the Shakespeare Players cast, fa company which has traveled all through the United States and has built up a great reputation. They played to an audience made up of pupils from Cooperstown, Morris, Otego, Unadilla, Laurens, Sid11ey and Bainbridge, an audience wl1icl1 packed even the aisles. Two of the most outstanding actors were those who portrayed Shylock and Portia. but all the members of the troupe played their parts very well. Every one who attend ed this play considered it a very rare treat. Their costumes and stage settings were most appropriate and striking. 26 41:5 'L vlirlfk, Q . . . 9 ', ,N -4' , r- .Q 3. Q.

As an entrant in the one-act play contest of the Tri-Valley League, Gilbertsville presented The Boob, which was given in the Town Hall last year. The cast: Everett Sargent-the Boob g Marie Sorensen-the heroineg Henry Nearing-the boss, and James Moore-the villain. As a result of the trip to Guilford on December 9th the players won iirst honors --a. silver cup! On December 16th The Boob was presented in the final one-act play contest at W0l'C6StE1', Schenevus getting Hrst, Laurens, sec- ond, East Worcester, third, and Gilbertsville, fourth. But regardless of this, the coach, Miss Roberts, and the cast helped to make The Boob a good performance for it was thoroughly enjoyed by all. 27 . Youth Comes TIiDDi112 ' Standing 1 Shirley Van Valkenberg. Mr. Waterman, Henry Nearing, Vivian Cloughen, Clifford Wilber, Porter Root. Seated : Charles Nearing, Ruth Gibson, Agnes Cant, James Moore. ..i Advertised as a rollicking three-act comedy, Youth Comes Tripp- ing, this year's school play, was just that. It was presented on May 25th at the Town Hall under the direction of Paul Waterman. Successful from every standpoint, the play ls an example of our school's high standard of dramatic performance. One should not forget what a successful play means, First, good ma- terial-people who can interpret and feel diilicult situations and who are willing to cooperate with the director and each other. Second, good coach- mg-bringlngr out to the greatest advantage, the best qualities of each actor. Youth Comes Tripping hadafvery Blind cast, headed by Porter Root who portrayed the diiiicult character part of Doc Skinner. Vivian Clough- en played opposite him as Mrs. Skinnerg Shirley Van Valkenburg played the heavy, Mr. Bryson, Henry Nearing, as Bobby Dunn, was the youth who nearly tripped g Agnes Cant as Betty Kane, was Bobby's one and on1y 3 James Moore, as Tom Kane, played the part of the village post- master: Ruth Gibson, as Lillian Padget, played the modern city girl: and Charles Nearing, as Speed Temple, played Bobby's chum. They have played their parts and we say, well done. 28 AHHE3 TRI-SCHOOL TRACKV MEET Boys' and Girls' Track Teams. A Tri-School Track Meet was held at the Athletic' Field in Gilberts- ville, on May 28. The schools participating were: Guilford. Mt. Uptgn, and Gilbertsville.

Front Bow : Fdna Freer, Ruth Gibson, Vivian Cloughen, Carol Kilsby, Pearl Harris. The girls have had a most successful year in basketball under the competent coaching of Mr. Waterman, having lost but two games the entire season, both of these being to Otego. This year practice was begun a little earlier, giving the girls more time to improve and work out new plays, particularly a better system of passing. James Moore was elected manager of both the girls' and boys' teams, while Norma Sargent acted as assistant manager. There was no particular captain elected, so before each game the girls of the team elected a captain, thus giving each girl a chance of acting as captain. The two girls chosen for the All Star Team this year were Norma Sargent and Edna Freer. There has been no girls' baseball this year: no one seemed enthusiastic enough to start a team. The girls came out on top at the track meet this year. Though there were only four girls' events in all, still they managed to scoop in seventeen points. Mt. Upton came second with ten points: Guilford following with nine. The tennis tournament was won by Vivian Cloughen. 31 Members of All-Star Team: West Section, Tri-Valley League w x Edna Freer, Norma Sargent. 32 BOYS' ATHLETICS BASKET ,BALL SQUAD. s Mr. Waterman, Charles Nearing, Henry Nearing, James Moore, Morgan Light, Everett Sargent. CJa,mes Moore and Morgan Light were members of the West Section All-Star Team of the Tri-Valley League.J The basket-ball team of 1934 was more Successful than the teams of the two preceding years, winning four and losing four of their league games which ticd them for second place in the league. The team consisted of Everett Sargent and Charles Nearing, guardsg James Moore, center, and Morgan Light and Henry Nearing, forwards. Morgan Light and James Moore represented Gilbertsville on the all-star team of the Western section of the league. The prospects for next year are quite bright, however. Only one play- er will be gone and there will be a number of players eager for his place. In the state-wide high school basket-ball tournament which the team was invited to enter Gilbertsvllle was beaten by Schenevus by a score of 12-22. 33 The results of the games are: Opponent Score Gilbertsville Score Guilford ............ ............................... ..... 1 8 20 Laurens ...... .. 16 11 Otego .......,.. .. 22 17 Mt.

The team has won only one of its league games. They beat Otego by u. score of 9-3. Our two pitchers, Everett Sargent and Shirley Van Valkenburg, have done very well but the rest of the team gave them little support in the majority of games. Next yeai-'s team should be as strong because several of the new players have gained valuable experience in this year's games which should make up for the loss of two players. The boys' tennis tournament was won by James Moore. BASE BALL SQUAD. V N 1 l l Standing : John Bushnell.

The ride was a trifle tedious but points of interest took away the monotony. After arriving in Albany, about the first thing was the visit to the top of the State Ofllce Building to look over the city from thi-rty- two stories. Most of the party had never had this sensation and found it very novel. ' From here, the visitors went through the underground passage to the Capitol, walked up its million dollar stairs, went through the chambers of the Senate and Assembly, the Governor's office, and the Museum. The whole of it was informative and interesting. - At noon, the group had lunch in a Chinese-American restaurant, which was a novel experience for most of the students. The ilrst visit of the afternoon was to the Schuyler mansion, seeing here where the historical tomahawk dented the stairs, where Washington slept, the room in which Alexander Hamilton was married, and much rare colonial furniture.- Last, in Albany, the party went through the State Education Build- ing and saw most of the Museum. This was the most educational part of the day, probably, and very worth while. g On the way home, supper was eaten at Thatcher Park, near thellndian Ladder. Some of the enthusiastic climbed around this cliff and further en- joyed the extraordinary view. ' ' The long ride home was broken by a trip to the movies in Cobleskill to top off the day. The whole day was well directed by the chaperons so that the time was spent most profitably and educationally. .......1..l?.4..... V CHAPEL PROGRAMS The chapel programs during the past year have been very beneficial. Both teachers and pupils deserve to be complimented upon the success of these exercises. Besides, the school has been very fortunate in securing various prominent, as well as local, speakers to address the student body. Not only have these programs been very entertaining, but educational, as well. The English classes, under the direction of Mrs. Shaw, presented, dur- ing February, sketches about the lives of famous men born in February. Among these were: Benjamin Franklin, Washington, Lincoln, and Stone- wall Jackson. Mr, Neher's Agricultural boys' program consisted of the usual opening ceremony of the Future Farmers of America. Later some of the boys told of their experiences at the Farm and' Home Week at Cornell. The Thanksgiving program given by Miss Tamsett's room consisted of several songs, two plays, one a pantomime and the other a tableau. During these plays several songs and dances were given. A. group of twelve Purl- nr- ud tan maids, in costume, gave a pretty drill. The program closed with the singing of America by the whole school. Mr. Lovell, of the Presbyterian synod, gave a humorous, intimate, edu- cational talk on the Chinese. He stated that many accepted beliefs of the Chinese are not true. For instance, all Chinese do not have almond-shaped eyes, black hair and yellow complexions. The underlying principle of his speech was the problem of understanding other people. James Dyer, of Armenia, spoke to the students one morning. He rc- lated some interesting and amusing stories of school life in Armenia. He told his own troubles in learning the English language, Everyone enjoyed his talk. A Columbus day program was given by the fifth and sixth grades. Columbia, the Gem of the Ocean, was sung by the school. Following the recitation of Columbus by Shirley Carr, came a play, The Discovery of America. The play was well given. Miss Roberts' Latin classes gave a spdendid reproduction of a Roman Wedding. After the impressive ceremony, the bride, groom and attend- ants, attired in white, started for the bride's new home. Arrived there, the groom found it rather difficult to carry his bride over the threshold, but finally accomplished it. Miss Slocum's Introduction to Business class offered a program on the rise of transportation from colonial times up to modern times. It was as- tonishing to 11ote the changes and improvements necessary in order to ar- rive at our present-day means of transportation. Mrs. Nel1er's program, given by the Home Economic classes, contained many helpful hints about politeness and manners. The problem of correct introduction was solved. Mrs, Neher stressed the point that acting naturally was the important feature in meeting new people. Mr, Seaman's Economic Citizenship class have given debates onffthe subjects of May Rich People Work for Pay? and Money is the Chief Consideration in Choosing a Vocation? Both sides set forth very good points. These were very instructive. Mrs. Waterman has provedher ability as music teacher by her pre- sentation of excellent musical programs. Solos and duets, both vocal and piano, have added the necessary variety. The school has been fortunate, also, in hearing Mr. VVaterman's pleasing voice at various times. As music plays an important part in the lives of people, it is necessary that a certain, part of school time be devoted to the study of it. Thus, these few examples will illustrate the type of chapel programs that the school has enjoyed during the past year. The spirit that has ex- isted between pupil and teacher, between speaker and student, has shown whole-hearted cooperation. May the school continue its instructive pro- grams ! 36 Alumni Association prim ALUMNI BANQUET on Friday bevening, July 7, 1933, the Alumni of the Gilbertsville Academy and High School met at the Major's Inn for their annual reunion and banquet. There were eighty-nine members and their guests present to Elnjoy the exceptionally fine dinner and delightful evening prepared for em. Between the courses of the dinner the company was led in singing of familiar songs by Mr. John R. Frone, with Mrs. R. V. Seaman at the piano. ' At the close of the dinner the toastmaster, Mr. Harry B. Ward, told a few of his memories as a student of the high school, and then had the members of the association stand up as he called the year of their class. He then introduced Mrs. James H. Ecob, who talked on the need and bene- fits of world peace. Music during the program consisted of two vocal solos by Mr. Paul F. Waterman, two piano solos by Miss Elizabeth Root, and two num- bers by a mixed quartet composed of Miss Stella Root, Miss Beatrice Moore, Mr. Clarence Freer, and Mr. Paul WVaterman. All these numbers were very well rendered and enthusiastically received. - Mrs. Sigwart Swenningsen very cordially and wittily welcomed the class of 1933 to membership in the alumni association and Miss Doris Latham responded on behalf of the class. The address of the evening was given by Mr. B. C. Van lngen, super- intendent of schools at Kingston, New York, whose topic was Trends of Education. His talk was both interesting and instructive, and it was a real privilege to have hlml with us. The program was very flttingly closed by the singing of the Alma Mater. ,il........- THE ALUMNI BANQUET The fourteenth annual banquet of the Alumni Association of the Gil- bertsville Academy and high school was held at the Major's Inn at 7:30 p. m., on Friday evening, July 6, 1934. There were ninety-one members and their guests present. During the dinner, Mr. G. G. Summerson, accompanied by Mrs. Paul D. Moore at the piano, led the company in singing of familiar and appro- priate songs. Mrs. Sigwart Swenningsen acted very ably as toastmaster for the pro- gram which lmmedlately followed the banquet. She tlrst introduced Miss Stella Root who very charmingly welcomed the graduating class of 1934 into membership in the association, to which Charles Nearing, the class president, responded on behalf of the class. Mrs. Swenningsen then re- quested those who had been students of the old academy to rise and it was found that there were about twenty-five present. The address of the evening was made by Miss Florence H. Freer, who 37 talked on the particular branch of Home Economics which is her work. She first sketched the evolution of Home Ecanomics, showing that dietition work in hospitals was the predecessor of Home Economics. She then told of the different fields which Home Economics has entered. Miss Freer, herself, is with the Domestic Science Bureau of the Brooklyn Edison Com- pany, which has to do with testing and demonstrating all sorts of electri- cal appliances used in the home. Dr. Walter Hervey and the Honorable Mr. Chester Donaldson also con- tributed extremely interesting parts to the program. Dr. Hervey, who is editor of The Spoken NVord, is frequently in demand as a lecturer on the oral study of literature and especially poetry. He entertained us by giving a few definitions and explanations of poetry and by reading several care- fully chosen bits from the modern poets. Mr. Donaldson is a graduate of the academy and he spoke very appreciatively of the annual reunions of the school which are unique in their demonstration of solidarity and good fellowship. Another interesting feature of the evening was the presentation by Mrs. Kuno Francke of a prize to that member of the senior class who had had the best influence on his fellow students. The award this year was a new Webster Collegiate Dictionary and was given to Charles Nearing. Pleasing variety was lent to the program by two very beautiful vocal solos by Mrs. George G. Summerson and two piano solos by Clarence Freer, all of which were enthusiastically received by those present. The program was very fittingly closed by the singing of the Alma Mater, the words of which were written by Mr. Charles M. Lillie. Alto- gether, the evening's entertainment was thought by many to be among the best ever to be presented at the banquet. Following the program a brief business meeting was held at which the following olllcers were elected for the coming year: President, Miss Mary H. Mirickg vice-president, Miss Doris Latham: secretary, Miss Doro- thy E. Wardg treasurer, Mr. J. Merton Moore. 38 W ,.V,,.Y, .W ,,,g ,.
