We are. therefore, indebted to them not only for the alphabet, but for a system of trade and commerce. Within our own walls. students are trained to take their place in the commer- cial and economic world of today. These students could easily convince you of their fitness to take part in our economic system by using their salesmanship tactics, knowledge of bookkeeping and business arithmetic, and final submission of a type- written report on their elliciency and skill. This year, the Commercial Club was particularly active, sponsoring a highly successful mixer, and many other activities. To guide them successfully through a year of full activity, they wisely chose the following ollicers: President ...... .. Rodney Sellen Vice-President . . . . . . .Purdy Ryan Secretary ...... .... ........ E l len Forbes Treasurer . . . ............... Garth Andrews Advisors . . .....

This year we are no exception. and thus. we dedicate the 19-l-6 edition of the Odyssey to the old section of our school which burned to the ground in 1915. Teachers and pupils alike were put to hardship hy the fire. School had to he in session in vari- ous huildings about town. Countless arrangements were made and changed-all leading to confusion at first and then to smooth running order-a large portion of which may be credited to the teachers of these grades. The majority of the senior students attended kindergarten and the first eight grades in the older division of our school, and, as a summary of our feelings, we feel that it should appropriately be pre- served in memory. Therefore, to this section of Homer Academy and to the teachers who held daily class in its rooms. we. the Odyssey staff and the class of 5416, dedicate our yearbook to this phase of our elemen- tary schooling never to be forgotten. 14 , , if f- Q SWCQ 'Files Z.. Eim A LSA X If NX' tands for Experts Each year we honor those leaving our alphabetical playground who have at- tained the highest record of scholastic achievement. They not only have successfully overcome such fundamental dilliculties as the A. B. Cfs, long division, subjects and predicates, but have pitted their wits against propositions, equations, translations and current international problems.

Under the leadership of Mr. Joseph Herney, the council sponsored the Organization Dance, the first school affair of the term. At this dance, ollicers for each class were announced. Dates for the class assemblies were arranged by this group, and pres- entations of gifts were made to Mr. Vllolner, Mr. Herney and Mrs. Riley at the Christmas assembly. A considerable amount of money was added to the Student Council treasury by a mixer held in the school auditorium, April 5. We feel that this group has accomplished its job well, and is to be commended for it. Council Chairman . . .... Garth Andrews Vice Chairman .... ....

The girls participated in a date discussion at school on the proper dress and con- duct for dates. A skating party was later enioyed at the roller skating rink. Yes, we agree, the girls really learned their A.B.C.'s this year. First Row: Stoker, J., VanDonsel, Gallup, Miss Elmore, Ostrander, Chapman, Ayers, M.

At an assembly in the school auditorium on April 11, Rev. Henry Childs of the Homer Congregational Church presented the prize to Kenneth C. Cox, president of the senior class and Tri-V club and editor of the ODYSSEY. '4Ken also actively engaged in sports, being a member of the soccer, basketball and baseball teams. He is a member of the Mummers' Club and S. O. S. Club. SENNICHTLY AWARD In like manner, the Sennightly Award of twenty dollars is given to the girl in the senior class exhibiting certain worthy attributes. She is judged by the faculty on her qualities of courtesy, cooperation, character, enthusiasm, dependability and scholastic effort. This year the honor was bestowed upon Virginia Springer who is also class valedictorian. Ginny participated widely in musical events, including band, chorus, orchestra, sextet and two operettas. She is also a member of Tri-Y, the Commercial and the Latin Clubs. To these two luminaries we extend our heartiest congratulations and best wishes for future success. 23 4 6, y x, 1 ,flu -.

In spite of the problems of select- ing a theme, planning pages, getting subscriptions and advertisements, and taking pictures, we finally put our heads together and put out this book, which we hope you will enjoy.

Just a few faithful flatfoots trying to maintain order in a public building, but theirs is a most essential duty. Though the squad is much smaller than it used to be, it is still force- ful. The rules have not been seriously changed since the patrol's origin. lt is the same procedure every year. The inexperienced Freshmen start up the wrong stairs until they become acquainted with the rules, and the worldly seniors come down the wrong stairs, feeling that they have earned the privilege. Thus, this job is constant and never monotonous. Under the leadership of Mr. Herney, the Trafhc Patrol will continue to carry on their duties, for this is one of the most active clubs of the school.

ANCIENT HISTORY Only ten of the graduating class found it necessary to get a head start on their education. Wild Bill Carlson and Rodney Sellen were devotedly playing house with their classmates, Joan Beaudry, Annabelle Reed and Marie Slade. Garth Andrews, Charlie Schenck and Roger Harris were doing their homework-improving their coloring and drawing lessons. Meanwhile Ken Cox and Ruth Foster were diligently building an ideal town in the sandbox. In retrospect of our childish endeav- ors, it seems that we became most proficient in the difficult art of puffing up one,s cheeks and poking the air out of them. In the first grade we were joined by Thomas Dannan, who was a bad actor even then. and the mischievous Thomas Twentyman. From James Street came Robert Ellsworth and Helen Lawrence. We were also favored by the arrival of handy-man, Donald Clark, Orrin Gallup and Ruth Miller. During our second year we welcomed to our growing ranks Virginia Springer, the singer and pianist. Fourth grade found two little cherubs, Paul Whiteman and Marguerite Gower, winging their wav into our midst. Nothing more eventful happened until our seventh year when Barbara Stoker, Ellen Forbes and Emmett Gillette decided to come in and see what city life was like. Then, in the eighth grade Martha Hoy, Frank Blanden and Richard Langdon entered our fold with Miss Fuller as our Good Shepherd. Apparently these first 8 years were not unusual, but were punctuated by the accepted quota of broken bones and black eyes. MEDIEVAL HISTORY In our Freshman year McLean spared us John Hilsinger while West Homer gave Margaret Caughey, and Cold Brook gave us mathematical genius, Thomas Bean. Wle were also joined in the first step of our four year struggle by Alberta Marvin and Hazel Fisk. We felt ourselves quite capable, so with Mr. Price's help, we not only put on a successful dance entitled the fluke Box but also set a precedent by being the first Freshman class to win the Assembly Award with our version of a jury trial. In the dawn of our Sophomore year Virgil donated Lois and VVillis Newman. We struggled through half of the year, but were rejuvenated by the entrance of that dynamic Character Arthur fWho, me?J MacNeill. During this momentous year we aroused the ill feeling of our school mates by again copping the Assembly Award with our Fashion Show and the Burglar. In our Junior year William fTonyJ Mott wandered into our class. This was the only eventful happening of the year outside of our financial and social success, the Junior Prom. Barbara Stoker as Chairman with Helen Lawrence as her Assistant, did a swell job of decorating. The decorations were to represent a dream garden effect. MODERN HISTORY Eleanor Button and Jean Marble wangled their way into our Inner Sanctum. Richer in experi- ence and supposedly fuller of knowledge, we launched on our last year of endeavor. The Crystal Ball triumphed by financial engineering with Lois Newman as Chairman. The auditorium was decorated in a festive manner and under the balcony was located our version of an ideal home at Christmas, complete with easy chairs, fire place, stockings and a Santa Claus fRuth Fosterj. Again to our worthy senior class the kindly faculty gave the Assembly Award for our version of a graduation. We modestly mention the fact that it was a good program. The Town witnessed our fling at the fine art of acting in volume and with appreciation in uYou Can't Take It With You. Wle now extend our appreciation to the Senior Mothers for their work in planning the Senior Banquet and for providing us a fine evening of entertainment. Mr. Wlolner also both surprised and pleased us by granting us a whole day's vacation for the Senior Day Celebration. In passing we wish to express our regret that those who have gone to the service: Frank Blan- den, Herbert Huntley, Arthur Monty, Robert Porter, Morris Redfield, John Simmons, Stanton Wixson could not share these good times with us. Our school days have kept us busy building friendships and storing memories that we will not soon forget. RUTH FOSTER THOMAS DANNAN 30 . ' he A fc?

With a record of ten vic- tories in the league, they were downed only by the fast Cortland Freshman team in a total of 18 contests played. This outstanding record gives good promise for an eventual league winning Varsity quintet. A Freshman five and a second Sophomore team both gave plenty of active support.
