We have tried not only to paint the plain facts about that school year but also to portray to some extent those little incidents that stand out in our memories. I We hope that when you piclc up this boolc many years from now, it will carry you baclc to the school year of 1937-38. Perhaps you may recall laces of schoolmates you've lost traclc of through the passing years. Perhaps you may recall those long, dreary school days and the hard time you had doing your Latin or intermediate , but most import- ant ol all is that you will remember those little things which, put to- gether, made up the greatest days of your lives---your high school days. lllllllllllllllllllllllllllllllllllllllllllllllllllllllll C THEME I Baclc in the 'l89O's Edward Noyes Westcott wrote a Hbest seller entitled David l-larumn. lts main character was a horse-swapping banlfer in a small country town named l-lomeville. The subject for this characterization was David l-lannum, a man who lived in our own town of l-lomer and who attended our own Homer Academy. O Since this is a boolc portraying the school life of our community, we have chosen as a theme the David Harum described by Mr. Westcott. We have presented this theme through slcetches and by the use of quotations from David Harumf' Page 3 To MRS.

I THE SENIOR CLASS O It seems but a few years from the time we entered on the terrifying adventure of our first day of school---now we are graduating, one big, happy family of undig- nified seniors who have obtained just about all we can from our twelve years in Homer Academy. But before we separate on the high roads and the low roads, let us loolc baclt and see what we have accomplished worlcing as the class, by the class, and for the class. I Of course, we may be wrong in saying so, but we feel that all our Financial undertalcings have been successes in more than one way. At our Junior Prom, we inaugurated two new ideas, a prom Icing and unique decorations consisting of hundreds of colored spotlights. The Senior Boll was a major event directed by Frederick Briggs. Throughout our four high school years, a date has been set aside each year for our class dances. O It seems proper, although rather unnecessary, to say right here that our Senior Play, 'fGoing on Seventeen , was really quite a success. As for our assemblies, we have twice come out close seconds with our travelogue and Big Broadcast of 1938. I This year, we have also followed the precedents set up by former classes in holding a Senior Mothers Banquet and in wearing caps and gowns at Com- mencement. O But now, our wandering memories have completed the circuit of our high school career, and we must return to the present. However, we hope that we have set up a few customs worth following and a few standards worth living up to in the future. ln the meantime, we have considered it an honor and a great deal of fun to be members of the Class of '38 of l'lomer Academy.

I Chief among the activities of the class this past year have been the Annual Sophomore Dance and the class assembly. The dance was a financial success--- remember the Ulsle O' Blues orchestra? That the class is not without talent was clearly shown in the assembly. The class presented a Varsity Show in which a girl's glee club, a tap-dancer and their own class orchestra were featured. They also gave a history of l-lomer in their version of an alumni banquet. Those on the committee were Phyllis Wallcer, general chairman, Dorothy Stolcer, Joan Bean, floyd Reed, Robert Knobel, Eugene lrish, Dorothy l logan and lone l.ottridge. C Perhaps one reason they have been so successful is that, in addition to the class officers, they have had an Executive Committee which was composed of Phyllis Wallcer, Marilyn Anderson, Edith Beard, Marion Nadler, Donald Knapp, Roy Beebe and Mr. Charles l.. Kraemer as the class adviser. O Better watch out, you Juniorsl ln spite of a tinge of green, these Sophomores are an up-and-coming bunch. The officers who have so ably managed the class affairs, this year, are as follows: President ...,... Vice-President ..., Secretary ....... Treasurer ....... Faculty Adviser ....

They had to postpone their assembly fthrough no fault of theirs'D, and the plans lor their dance, which at this writing is a weelc away, are still incompletel I At l-lallowe'en time they held a party at which they played games, did stunts, had a punch-board, and served cider and doughnuts as refreshments. They were such young and mischievous cherubs that they needed both Miss Somerville and Miss Fredendall to talce care ol them. O As an assembly program they presented the World's Worst Amateur Hour, in which Laurence Miles, First-prize winner, made all the girls' hearts throb with his western songs. Phyllis Burgett, accordion player, and Alice Farnham and Jean VanSiclcle, tap dancers, won second and third prizes QlollypopsE, respectively. O To start the social functions ol their high school career, they introduced Rudy Pauldinels orchestra, a new orchestra to the school.

The Annual School Press Conference at Syracuse, November 5 and 6, 1937, was attended by Donald McKnight '39, and Marjorie Schweirs '38, accompanied by Miss Nelle A. Schmidt, adviser. Critics said the paper was a neat, newsy one. Authorities there also commented on the headlines and story writing. Q ln January, the staff and cubs made a trip to the Cortland Standard Printing Company, where they learned the how's and why's of publishing a newspaper, from the news room to the printing press. Q The NEWS has concentrated this year on new methods to improve it. ln January, the staff was enlarged by the addition of cub reporters and lypists. The February 95th edition was published entirely by the Junior class. The Christmas edition, with its original student art work, was one of the notable features of the year. Q The Easter edition this year was patterned after a magazine, with the stories, poems, and special features profusely illustrated. STAFF FIRST TERM STAFF SECOND TERM Editor-in-chief .....

This year, however a band was started under the supervision ot Miss Charlotte Sampson, who joined the faculty in 1936. I The band consists ol Titty members who started their musical in January 1938. O After much tooting and screeching the band can now hold its own. The players vvill play at the school games and activities, This is something out at the ordinary For the Homerites. The band was introduced in the assembly programs on February Q4, 1938. I The band took part in the Marathon Spring Festival this year, competing with bands from other schools in Cortland county. They will hold their First concert at the P. T. A. meeting on May 00, 1938. ln the Tall they will indulge in new costumes, and a drum major will be chosen.

Whenever and wherever they are wanted, they are always willing to cooperate. It is only with the able aid of Miss Charlotte A. Sampson, their director, however, that this is possible. I The feature of the year was the Annual Spring Concert on May Q7, at which scenes from 'LII Trovatoreu by Verdi, were presented. At the P. T. A. Christmas program, the members of the Mixed and Girls' Choruses added to the Christmas spirit by their interpretative singing. Q During the year, also, groups sang at the local churches and at entertainments. An operetta was presented on March 'ist. Both the choruses and the orchestra toolc part in the Music Festival at Marathon, May Qi.

After many weeks of hard work, this operetta was presented under the direction of Miss Charlotte A. Sampson, on March 'Ist in the Town Hall. For the First time, also, an orchestra of students accompanied the singers. Q The story revolves around Bcb Kent, a ycung inventor, who goes through many trials and tribulations to prove that Vericolor can be a success. But ze reel star, as the countess says, was Fanfare, the horse around whom the show was built. Bob Kent ...... , . .Donald Ripley Windy Bryan ..., ...Robert Lenn Mr. Norton ............,....

O ln observance ol National Millc Week the Aggies put on a dairy show featuring a real cow. Charts explained the cost ol production, samples ol various lcinds and amounts of feed required by the dairy animals were displayed. The marlceting process from the dairy farm to the consumer was explained. Olwo delegates lrom the local chapter were sent to the Annual National Convention ol Future Farmers of America at Kansas City, where the tenth anni- versary ol the Future Farmers was celebrated. O Every year, representatives are sent to Cornell and the New Yorlc State Fair at Syracuse to compete in the judging contests. I The Aggies have proved their athletic ability by getting permanent possession ol the traveling cup, which had to be won three times before it became the pos- session ol any club. The cup was won by the l-lomer Aggies in the lall and winter ol 1936, by Cincinnatus in the spring ol T937 and by l-lomer in the lall ol 1937. The cup is now in the school library among the other cups which the Aggies have won. OFFICERS President .......,.........., Gerald Burgett Vice President .... ,......

The rest ol the school envies this club because of the several trips it has talcen during the year and hates it because ol the avvlul odors that pervade the atmosphere on lab days. O Qrganized in the school year 193933, the SGS Club, this year lor the first time, is composed ol both the chemistry and physics classes, I Business meetings, usually lollovved by a short program, vvere held every tvvo vveelcs. Some members bought pins. I ln December the Club presented a very entertaining assembly program, an old- time barn dance vvith all the 'lhxin'sll, even cider and doughnuts. I lnterest vvas kept alive during the year by visiting industrial plants and inspecting them lrom a scientific vievvpoint. Early in November, the Club visited Wickwire Brothers, malcers ol steel, vvire and nails, and Champion Sheet Metal Company vvhere welding is done, high-tension vvire and truck lenders are made, late in January, it examined the Beaudry Wall paper Corporation, and in April it vvent to Endicott to tour the Endicott-Johnson Shoe Factory. I ln rounding out the Filth year ol the SGS Club, the Seelcers ol Science believe that they have done a vvorth-vvhile job, have set an excellent example and have sought as much science as they vvere capable ol doing.

The First year was spent in organizing, training voices, and making general preparations for public performances under the able direction ol Miss Norma G. Taylor. ln that year also, they became the Mummers. Meetings are held every Thursday, some devoted to business, some to business and program. All members are Juniors and Seniors. Q This term, the club, with the co-advisers, Miss Norma G. Taylor and Miss Doris L. Fredendall, became more active. It presented, in December, two successful one-act plays, The Rector, by Rachel Crothers, and Little Brother Sherlock, by Lida Larrimore Turner. During the year, pins For the most successful acting were awarded to Frederick Briggs, '38, and Vivian Morse, '39, A special prize for backstage cooperation was given to Roberta Beebe, '38.

Although formerly the club's specialty has been working with puppets, this year, they made an extensive study of photography. To start them off with a bang, Miss Nelle A. Schmidt gave them a few good pointers on the use of cameras and development of pictures. Q Each member took as many pictures as he liked, and the whole club witnessed and took part in their developing. This idea proved very successful. I A modern version of Blue Beard, was presented in assembly on April 7. This was done in picture, and a narrator told the story of each picture. Snap shots were taken, enlarged, and flashed on the screen by means of the slide machine. The March of Time, candid camera shots of teachers and students, was also shown. O The club has cooperated with other organizations on several occasions. The boys and girls decorated the Town l-lall for the Presidents Ball and have made many posters. Q Their social life is limited and parties are rather few and far between. They believe in that old adage business before pleasure, I And so, the last we knew, the club was planning a photographic exhibit for sometime in June.

This year's champions, though, are forced to share their laurels with the Oncinnatus soccerites. Q The Academy's defense composed of Bob Springer, goalie and Buel Reagan and Harold Bell as fullbaclcs, proved impregnable from the field. But once during the vvhole season did a ball dent the l-lomer nets and that as a result of a penalty lciclc in the first Cincinnatus game. This goal proved the factor that caused a tie for the championship and the loss of the first soccer game out of the last sixteen. Q The regular forward vvall, led by the high scoring forward, l-l. Reagan, and made up of Fred Way, Wint Rerlcins, Pete Knapp and Laury Miles and the reserve line of Coon, Blanden, Langdon, Smith and Kloclc proved a constant menace to the other teams they faced as they smashed the ball through the opposing goal QQ times during the course of the season. Q The starting halfbacl-cs, Ed Lonergon, Oed Burgett, and Frank Sweeney plus their capable substitutes, Leonard Contento and Russ Bell bore the brunt of the defense and offense for the soccer eleven.

I This year, a little of the glory was taken From the team because oF their First place tie with the Ped Lionsl' ol Cincinnatus. I With practically the same team as last year, Coach Butts' proteges started OFF the season with an unnecessary loss, but the boys hit their stride to win the next Five games. Then the team played mediocre ball For a while, but they came back strong to Finish the season with three consecutive wins. I Most oF l-lome-r's wins were a result oF last period rallies. Among the Foremost in importance were the two Cincinnatus games which the Academy pulled From the Fire after entering the Final quarter with the score against them.

BASKETBALL I When the gun ended the Cincinnatus game, the l-lomer Academy Junior Varsity closed a season not spectacular, but one which brought to light much promising material for next years varsity. The Blue and Whites either safely put their games away during the First hall or had them snatched from their grasp by their own erratic play and late rallies by their opponents. I The Junior vvearers of the Blue and White played .596 per cent ball during the season, win- ning ten of their nineteen starts. Although they had a six game winning strealc, longer than that of the varsity, the i'Mil4e'i Lewis leal quintet never played consistent ball, dropping a game to a team and then trouncing them in the return contest. Q HSV' Smith headed the scoring division of the Junior club and played an important role in the winning ol those ten games while being ably supported by Russ Coon, Mope Woodward and Earl Nelson, the other members ol the starting live.

H.Reagan Knapp Briggs Miles Springer Perkins Way lVlcEv0y I VARSITY BASEBALL I With the coming of spring, the baseball men trotted out on the firm turf to start practice for their 1938 season. But two men are lost from last year's second place team, namely, Ray Brown, third baseman and Bishop, a hurler. The filling in of these two position by the freshman third baseman, Larry Miles, and the Junior hurler, Louis Kloclc, will not weaken the team in the least. Q The team should enjoy a very successful season. Bob Springer should have his most successful season on the mound, as should Ed Lonergan behind the plate. The air-tight infield of Perkins at the initial sack, Knapp on the keystone bag, Lorry Miles at short and l-l. Reagan in the hot corner, will be found diecult to penetrate by any team. The slugging outfield of Way, Burgett, and B. Reagan will surely handle their part of the hitting and fielding duties. The reserves ready to step into any breach in the lineup include Ed. Smith, Wolcott, Briggs, Lewis and R. Smith. THE LEAGUE SCHEDULE: S2 Homer. . .. .....

Way l.el t-ver Tilvoll TRACK I This year's track team promises to be even stronger than the previous two year's champions. Nearly all oF last year's men are back, and there are several valuable additions to the squad. The weight department seems as strong as last year but a little weak For the rest oF the team. The jumps have the same entrants as last year's team, with the addition oF Blanden who seems a Fine pole-vaulting prospect. I Contento, Blanden, Briggs and Langdon will handle the pole-vaulting duties while the high jump title will be delended by the title holder, B. Reagan and LeFever, Burgett and Brown. The broad jump record will also be defended by B. Reagan, Way and Lel:ever. The dashes and relay will be handled by Way, Burgett, LeFever and B. Reagan. Q The weight division will Find Knapp and Briggs throwing the platter. The twelve pound shot will be putted by Briggs, Knapp and Contento. Q The track team will have several chances to defend their championship title and the individual laurels oF the team members. Meets are in view with Marathon Central l-ligh and Cincinnatus Central High while there is a chance ofa Cortland-Tompkins County Track meet to be held at the Normal School and run OFF by Normal oFFicials. Q On Saturday, May 98, the track team met Cureene on the latter's Field in connection with the baseball game played that date. One week later, June 4, the local boys participated in the First annual Onondaga Park invitation track meet held in Syracuse. Page 65 Page 66 I GIRLS' ACTIVITIES 'I. The return Q. Service 3.

The voIIey I GIRL'S INTERCLASS O As soon as the fall semester was under way, Miss Long, girls' physical education director, had several girl's teams participating in soccer games. Though no soccer league was formed, interest never waned in the fall sport, and the girls had many a close game during the fall. OAS snow Flew, they turned their attention to the various indoor games. Nearly all of their gym periods and noon hours were devoted to constant practice at ping pong, shutfleboard, badminton and paddle tennis. O Alter the Christmas vacation, tournaments were started in all of these games, but they have been rather slow in being finished as interest was lost with the coming of spring. O A baslcetball league was formed with six teams play- ing a Five game schedule. The juniors and sophomores tied for First place with a record of four wins against one loss. The senior star, Lucille Dannon led the individual scoring attaclc lor all teams with a personal score ol 114 poinw. O ln early spring a softball loop of Five teams was formed which played eighth periods, Wednesdays. O Gm April 28, the girl's physical education department presented a Fine assembly ol marching tactics, dancing, and pyramids which showed the girls expert along these lines. Page 67 Page 68 C BOYS' INTE RCLASS O As soon as school was started in the fall, Coach Butts started the wheels of his intramural activities turning, with two soccer leagues, one resident and one non- resident. The non-resident team led by Max l.el:ever captured their league with ease while the Junior and Seniors combined to form the team which were the champs in the resident league. O As snow forced the interclass games inside the in- terest turned to basketball and tournaments. 'lhe resi- dents Formed a two-section loop with the 7th graders, 8th graders and 9th graders in one half, while the sophs, juniors and seniors formed the other section. The 8th grade and seniors were the winners in their sections, with nine wins and one loss each. ln the playoll game, the seniors won their second championship in as many years when they downed the junior high representatives, 'l8-'l6. The non-resident's league was won by the Fay captained quintet which won seven games, lost four and tied one. O Louis Kloclc had the edge in the tournaments this year, with his double win in the badminton and paddle tennis. ln badminton he overcame Ged Burgett, 'I5-5 and 'l5-8, while in paddle tennis Bill McCabe was his 7-5, and 6-3 victim. Winton Perlcins retained his ping pong title lor the third year when he smashed himself to a decisive win over Kloclc. I As spring came, the interests again turned to the out- doors, and a non-resident baseball league was formed which played a ten game schedule.
