Mr. Baer The President of the Student Council is usually a Senior. The problems of the student body center around the planning of parties and extra-curricular activities. They also help plan paid and regular assembly programs. They made plans for the High School Christmas Party and the Yuletide decorations outside the school. The public was invited to the program which was made up of music by both the choruses and Band as well as a play put on by the 8th graders. Carol singing, directed by Miss Sarvay, was held in front of the school to open the program. The Student Council also voted that they should pay for the medals and the engraving of the plaques to be awarded class night.

In third grade, Douglas joined the group while Jeannette was added in the fourth. Carolyn came in the fifth year but the first large increase came in the sixth grade with Shirley, Philip, and Carol. Junior High brought Dale fwho later left for about 2 yearsj, Richard, Dickie and Bev. As sopho- mores we welcomed Freddie to our class. In the junior year, Malcolm arrived from England to become a yankee , Our newest member, Pauline, came in our last year. Our senior year found us ready to undertake a busy schedule. On November 16 and 17, we presented the three act play The Divine Flora . The profits from this and from the after-game mixers brought the class treasury up to 358424. On March 22, the class left for New York to enjoy the money we raised in our four years. With thoughts of graduation ahead, we chose blue and gold for class colors. The white carnation was picked as our flower and the motto was The past is gone, the future yet unseen. The officers of the graduating class were: Prefideni ................................

The play was a Samuel French production, The Divine Flora , written by Florence Ryer- son and Colin Clements. The theme of the play was centered around a high school girl named Etta, whose nature tended to make her a walltlower. Buzz and Randy, high school boys, helped Etta to obtain popularity while spending the summer at Randy's cottage. As a reward for their help, Buzz and Randy holped to win future jobs from Etta's father, a big advertising executive. The play was directed by Mrs. Heath an Mrs. Nellenback. The stage settings were planned and arranged by Mr. Freitag. The committees were as follows: Tickets-Shirley Marion, Dick Tobias, Dale Smith and Fred Bilodeau. Makeup-Barbara Owen, Carol Jennings, and Richard Bodine. Program-Gordon Teeter, Robert Mules, and Beverly Root. Advertising-Carolyn Brown, Pauline Chase and Charlotte Cook.

Having survived the bitter trials of the sophomore year, we emerged an active and confident class. We juniors are just beginning to come into the limelight but we are still conscientious about our homework. Preparing for the day we will be seniors we took a responsible part in such organizations as the Glee Club and Student Council. President Henry Wadsworth headed a slate of othcers which included Vice-President, Sylvia Nowalkg Secre- tary, Carol Smith, Treasurer, Robert Lakeman and Student Council, Catherine Hammond. Miss Seeley, class ad- visor arul new faculty member, helped us greatly in promoting our junior activities. We welcomed Barbara Jacquin and Howard Sink to our class last September. In October, we held a public Hallowe'en Dance with Speigle Wilcox's band. Our magazine sale netted us a proiit of over 3350. To help promote sales we divided the class into the blue and red teams with Trevor and Janice, respectively, heading the teams. The end of the sale found the blues having a slight edge over the reds. Our annual Junior Prom, featuring John McNeil's orchestra, was held May 18. Among the awards bestowed on the juniors were the P. T. A. banner, the girls championship in soccer, volley- ball and basketball. Janice Pittman and Hank were chosen ,by our class to represent McGraw at the Syracuse Citizenship Day Con- ference. Janice wastalso picked to go to Girl's State. By the end of the year, we consider ourselves qualified to take on the senior responsibilities. 20 l The Class of '53 First row, left to right: Beverly Hayes, Shirley Williams, Camilla Heath, joan Allore, Florence johnson, joan Belknap, jane Cobb, joan Lakin, Shirley Bishop, Elizabeth Teeter, Medora Potter, Marilyn Fuller, Joanne Card. Second row: Stanton 'Doran, james Brown, Carl Kimberly, LeRoy Jennings, Howard Baer, john Goetcheus, john Talbot, George Hicks, Richard Wilson, james Gilbert, Robert Russell, Russell Teeter, Donald Briggs, james Beattie. This year the Sophomores blossomed out for their first big business year. Marilyn, Harriet, Shirley, Camilla, joan Allore, joan Belknap, and Bobby Russell sold hot dogs, pop and candy at the soccer games. The class was divided into groups to share the work. The same refreshments plus potato chips were sold at the basketball games. Bob Zirbel made himself and his car useful by fetching and carrying re- freshments and empty pop bottles. We also sold pencils featuring the basketball schedule. At present our I profits total 3150. One classmate, Beverly Hayes was very ill during the year. To cheer her up, we sent. a sunshine basket. The Sophomores and the Seniors have had a neck and neck race for the scholarship banner. We have both had it twice. The averages for the first two quarters were as follows: IS! quarter -- Sophomores ............................ 79.9 2nd quarter- Seniors .......... ....... 7 8.6 Seniors .................................... 79.6 Sophomores ............................ 77.2 We did not do as well on the P.

The Class of '54 entered high school 34 strong. Although we've lost janet Smith, Gerald Adams, Gerald Ruli- son and Richard Niver, we still held our own numerically. When Russell Knecht returns from Florida, we will number 35, the largest class in high school. Our first activity of' the year was the election of officers. They are as follows: Pfefideni .......................................... Max Crozier Trearurer .................................... Marjorie Corey Vice-Prefidenl ........................ Geraldine Fitchner Sludent Council Reprerenhztive .,.... Elaine Berean Seffefafy .................................... Beverly Thomas Clary Adviror .................................... Mrs. Heath We can't boast much of our scholastic record as our average was lowest of the four classes at the end of the first quarter. We gained one place, however, in the january tests. We are all proud of the record of Bob and Donald DeWalt, who have held high honors in our class for the first two quarters as well as Max Crozier for being on the honor roll for the first quarter. Nine students the first quarter and 14 students the second rated honorable mention. By june we are hoping to be at the top scholasti- cally and have the scholarship banner. Musicians, athletes and cheerleaders are quite numerous from our class. In soccer we were represented by: Philip Snyder, Gordon Sykes, Max Crozier, Charles Niles, and Richard Niver, in basketball: Max Crozier, Charles Byron and Charles Niles. Elaine Berean, Marjorie Corey, Phyllis Wheelock were the Freshman Cheerleaders. Freshman Musicians are in both the junior and the Senior bands. They include: Senior band members, Nancy Talbot, Phyllis Wheelock, Max Crozier, Philip Snyder, Charles Niles and William Ackley. In the junior band are: Robert and Donald DeWalt. Glee Club members total 12 girls and 7 boys. In December, trying to contribute to the Christmas festivity as well as to relieve the crowded cafeteria, the Freshman decorated the Library with Christmas colors and lighted candles for the special Christmas dinner. Music over the P. A. System.,was a .pleasant accompaniment. For Brotherhood Week we prepared Zona Galis' play The Neighbors which was presented with the per- mission of the Viking Press. Later, we repeated the play at the March P. T. A. meeting. Included in the play cast were: Grandma, Beverly Thomas, Mis' Abel, Phyllis Wheelock, Mis' Moran, Ruth Schinkg Mis' Trot, Marlea Un- derwood, Peter, Kenneth Roundyg Ezra Williams, Charles Niles, Mis' Ellsworth, Elaine Berean, Inez, Marjorie Corey. 1950-51 has been a good first year. However, we plan to make 1951-52 even busier and more profitable for the class. 22 Eighth Grade First row, left to right: Richard Weishaupt, Eric Gabrielson, George Ferris, Robert Tobias, Harley Weishaupt, David Feint.

Each of these languages has a special purpose. While the objective of Latin is to acquaint the student with English words derived from Latin and various Latin phrases used in science, law, religion, math and music, the main objective of French is to skill the student in the reading and speaking of that language. Although Latin is a dead language , it is well worth studying. Latin class usually opens with a vocabulary drill. The remaining time is used either to translate or learn something new. Sometimes the class sings Latin, plays vici, a game like bingog or figures out latin crossword puzzles, French class is conducted in much the same manner. By taking French there is an opportunity to learn more about France and its customs. Some of the French students correspond with people in France. The Latin II class was chosen to represent the language department at the fair this year. The students' decided to show how Latin helps in other subjects by the use of posters and booklets which they made. 35 Regardons ces braux tableaux! As we strive to learn more about France.

Thirteen boys are enrolled: one senior, one junior, six sophomores, and five freshmen, Only five of these boys really work or live on farms. Classes in agriculture I, II, and IV are being taught but we have been handicapped by the lack of a shop. The classes took trips to Farm and Home Week at Cornell and to the farms of Ray DeHart, Glenn Alexan- der, Dennie Wilson, Bob Christopher, the Towslee pig farm, and several others. The boys have learned many interesting and useful things. It was fun to test the soil of our iields to see if they needed lime and to test the milk from our cows to iind the results of the butterfat test. Some of us learned how to pick out the cull hens from our Hocks. We visited several dairy barns to de- termine what a satisfactory, convenient dairy barn should be like and then noted what improvements our own barns needed. We tried to find out all the diiferent things that would help us produce more milk per cow and so make more money. We are also interested in learning about the principles of management that would help make farm business more successful. Taking a farm inventory, keep- ing farm accounts, and making out farmers' income tax returns were other topics on which we worked. , In the coming years, the Ag department hopes to expand its program. It aims to prepare school boys for a more scientific way of farming. MR. ARTHUR BROKAW Agriculture Advisor: McGraw Booster's 4H Club McGraw Future Farmers of America 37 For Creative Development . . .

Watching are, left to right: Malcolm Sykes, Dale Smith and Douglas Fuller. Imagination is a wonderful attribute. A child, given the opportunity, can use his imagination to create with his hands. Art gives him this opportunity. This year the boys and girls in the Art Department have discovered new experiences and have shown their powers of creatian through the completion of many projects. Art is not a period of play, it is a period of growth where each has to rely on his own thoughts and in- genuity. Although we have been cramped for. space and lack of materials, we found that many common place ar- ticles could be substituted. Glove puppets were made from paper and wallpaper paste. Paper bag puppets were constructed from paper bags, shoe boxes, wire, yarn, string and other materials. Plaster of Paris offered the oppor- tunity of seeing plaster face casts constructed, and a chance to carve with a medium other than wood. Given a piece of colored paper, paste, and scissors, three dimensional designs and pictures were made. In each project the child had no examples to see, nothing to copy and yet, each was not only pleased but perhaps surprised to dis- cover his ability and hidden talents . In the high school art courses, the students have created several projects which have been enjoyable as well as educational. In mechanical drawing, the students adapted themselves to an elementary course of industrial design. The group then proceeded to such timely pro- jects as problems of modern industry and mass produc- tion through designing tools, modern homes and furniture. .l... . . 5 ,. -f':v5.1::f:.fa: ....,, . j H. ,wt I X., Q ws' 1 K The general art course introduced the students to the PWIWEWW T lil , , , , ,f s ,,., basic elements of printing and design, and work was done 1-ig jg 'gji + 5 'il' on finger painting.

The Commercial Department offers a variety of subjects. In general business, pupils acquire business knowl- edge which they will use in their everyday life and learn to understand the importance of business in today's world. This course gives to the ninth grade student a realization of the value in advanced business training. Bookkeeping and accounting are designed for those students who wish to enter the commercial field in the future. It can be used for those who desire a 'knowledge of the subject for personal use, or desire an introduc- tory course to prepare for further study. The business law students found textbook theory put to practice when they visited the city courts. Through this, they have learned the legal aspects of everyday, personal business activities. The business management and salesmanship are both half year courses. The Krook'd Korner store has been operated for two years by these classes. School supplies and athletic equipment are sold throughout the year. The profits are used for a trip by the two classes. Through this practical application, the students have a. better under- standing of business organization and distribution. They learn to respect the needs and wants of the consumer. Typing is of value, not only for its personal use, but also as a help in preparing the student for office work as well. Business courses are being recognized more and more for their practical value in everyday life. MR. JOHN GUY Commercial Advisor: Sophomore Class Krook'd Korner Store 41 'eg '5 4 iW 1' ? I ' tl !

Left to right: Carol Smith, Trevor Bilodeau, Barbara Wheelock, Henry Wadsworth, Allan Bean. During the four years of English, we try to include as units, considerable work, that, in larger schools is presented, in greater detail, as separate courses. For example, this year in English II we have studied some prin- ciples of journalism, in English III we have stressed American literatureg in English IV we gave some time to principles of social psychology in the light of which we have sonsidered social problems presented in life situa- tions and in current literature. English clubs call for study of parliamentary procedure, programs call for both initiative and cooperation. just as, according to the ancient saying, All roads lead to Rome , we hope all the English by-paths lead to better reading, writing, speaking and listening habits: in a word to the growth of the individual in a democracy.

This year the schedule for the Homemaking department has been a busy one. X Since the beginning of the school term, new equipment including sewing machines, a steam iron, and chairs has been in use. The eighty-four girls included in this department have taken advantage in operating and using this equipment. Meanwhile, the classroom has fairly buzzed with excitement as many students who had never before known the beauty of hand creation have turned out articles of clothing that would pass for nothing less than miraculous. According to Mrs. Bickford, who is teaching the subject, the girls are not only going to be beautiful on the outside, but also healthy on the inside. Thus, the many wonders involved in the art of cooking and eating have been studied and practiced. The results have been amazing! Activities during this school termihave included a trip taken to Cornell University during Farm and Home Week, which was held during the week of March twen- tieth. Here, the students watched useful demonstrations, listened to lectures, and viewed many interesting displays. Other activities have included the serving of the Christ- mas dinner for the school cafeteria and preparing and serving party refreshments for the organization meeting of seventh and eighth grade teachers of our supervisory district. This year is the first in the history of McGraw schools that Home Economics has been taught. Classes are held in the room that once served as an olhce for the athletic department and as the department now functions, most of the cooking has to be done in the kitchen of the school cafeteria. With the anticipated new school, opportunities for a bigger and better department are expected. MRS.

The curriculum of the Math Department consists of general math, elementary algebra, plane geometry, inter- mediate algebra and trigonometry. In these times of scientific progress and atomic energy, the Math department attempts to help lit students for society. In many of the specialized branches of the armed forces, a knowledge of mathematics is of great benefit. Careful emphasis is placed in math on clearness of thought, neatness, and ac- curacy. All these are certainly qualities we should possess. The general mathematics course, given in the ninth year, is especially designed for those students who plan on taking no further math. In this course an attempt is made to acquaint the students with the general ideas of math, and to equip them with suihcient math to get along in later life. In geometry, the emphasis is being placed more and more on sound reasoning and trying to teach the students to think more clearly. In the more advanced courses, care is taken to prepare the students for college as well as to give them practical every day working knowledge of the subject matter. MR. WILBUR J.

Centralization has already affected the Music Department, for in order to make music available to all the students within the district it was found necessary to have separate vocal and instrumental teachers. Mrs. Bentall teaches singing to the children in the first eight grades in the main building and to the six grades in the branch schools. She has done much to foster an interest in good music among the younger students. Miss Sarvay is in charge of the Glee Club and instrumental music-Senior and Junior Bands. She is kept busy every day giving lessons to McGraw's aspiring young musicians. The Senior Band accompanied the McGraw Firemen in their parades at Norwich and Whitney Point. The band played for numerous assembly programs and for the Minstrel Show at McGraw and McLean, participated in the Cortland County Music Festival, present- ed its annual Spring Concert, and marched in the Memorial Day Parade. The Junior Band, consisting of the instrumentalists of the lower grades, trains stu- dents for membership in the Senior Band. It also participated in the Spring Concert. A keener interest in Glee Club has been shown this year by both boys and girls. The chorus of forty mixed voices sang in the County Festival at Marathon and in the Spring Concert.

GORDON TEETER and DICK CRISFIELD Learning Wrestling Techniques During the three seasons of the school year a variety of activities were carried on in the Boys' Phys. Ed. Dept. In the fall, they participated in' soccer and football games. When old man winter arrived and forced them inside, the time was spent in playing basketball and volleyball. At the close of the winter months, the boys tried their hand at tumbling and wrestling. After the long awaited spring months arrived, softball and different track events were practiced. In April, the boys participated in the annual Physical Education Demonstration. Tumbling was the main exhibition given by them. The boys gym classes learn the necessity of muscle co-ordination and good sportsmanship. Individ- ual skills can be developed with Mil li l 5 practice. The boys regret the leaving of their coach, Charles Berchen and . wish him the best of luck in his i future work. 2 il .lung ' ' I- i 'Q 5' :xiii z Q iii! 5213. 5 '- , W..

The purpose of the physical education classes is to provide opportunities for the pupil to develop coordination, poise, physical ability, and to' provide noonhour recreational activities for the girls. In the health classes, we learn the daily routine necessary for healthful living such as rest, a balanced diet, and exercise. For improving poise and posture aswell' as teaching rules and good sportsmanship, Mrs. Bradley puts het physical ed classes through a rugged schedule? After basic rules and skills have been developed in the various sports, the girls put the principles to work. Early in the fall, the soccer fans flocked outside for many lively games. As the mercury began to drop, the girls moved inside to greet enthusiastically one of their favorite sports, volleyball. Following volleyball playoffs, the classes turned to basketball where class teams were set up competing for the cham- pionship. Badminton, ping pong, and darts also drew their share of participants. Modern dancing was introduced at M. C. S. this year. A group of interested girls partici- pated in the'Physical Education Demonstration centering their exhibition upon the Charleston, folk, square, and ballroom dancing. By the time the cold weather had dis- appeared the girls had developed grace and agility in all of these activities. As the .thermometer again began to rise, the girls turned to the out-of-doors. Archery enthusiasts were found on the upper half of the playground, while others enjoyed softball. The girls had the opportunity to develop their skill further by attending the Sports Day, june 2, where they participated in the volleyball, badminton, ping pong, soft- ball, and bowling tournaments. This Sports Day, which was held at Cortland, attracted twenty schools within an 80 mile radius. MRS.

Why of Things The 8th grade pose as floral enthusiasts. Allen, Roberta Bacon. The world today is science conscious and the students in McGraw are exposed to it in a variety of courses. General Science is a compulsory subject for freshmen. You've heard of the paint that covers the world? General Science is the science that covers all sciences-chemistry, biology, physics and most of the other 'ologies. From this general consolidation of many sciences we beginners pick up the scientilic attitude, that is needed to know the how-what-and why of things that make up our environment. Physiography fearth sciencej is a subject for senior high classes where we are exposed to the general study of the history of the earth and to the study of its present state. Why bother? To learn and know more about this earth on which we live. It helps us to appreciate its fullness and the wonders of nature. Chemistry is also a senior high subject. From its study, we not only learn about the elements, their physical and chemical properties but we also learn how to learn. The ability to study, use books, and follow instructions can be acquired through high school chemistry. Seventh and Eighth grade science is taught this year by the high school teacher. The grades are divided ini halves and each section is required to take science for ten weeks. It is our first exposure to science for a full period every day as a separate subject. At first it sounded like a lot of dry facts and figures but we learned that there are many parts to this subject that all help us to understand ourselves, friends and the world we live in.

Social Studies, a four year compulsory course at M. C. S., offers opportunities for the student to better his community as well as himself. It teaches him to understand those who live outside his own country and to realize that this old world is not so big after all-that the person in Asia is closer to him in travel time than the pros- pector of '49 was from New York. Ninth grade civics includes a smattering of all social sciences. We lay the background for more intensive work next year by getting the fundamentals of geography fwhere is it?j, the differences between forms of government fwhich makes us appreciate ours morej, the reasons why nations trade fwhere and whatj as well as a little economics. World History is given the next year and here we lind that we can learn by experiences of the past for history tends to repeat itself. In the junior year we study American History while in our last year fbeing more maturej we wrestle with problems faced by our own na- tion and the rest of the world. We may not solve them all-but as we listen to the other fellow's opinion who may differ from ours-we're trying to develop opinions based on fair and open-minded thinking. MRS.

Due to the added difliculties of centralization this year, the Rifle Club was unable to use the basement range until after midyea-r exams. About February first, the club met in the range to begin practicing for the Section 4 match at the I. B. M. Country Club range in Binghamton on March 17. By the first of March, the ten best ritlemen had been chosen from the whole club. These ten practiced daily until the eve of the match when Mr. Baer chose David Elson, Douglas Fuller, Richard Crislield, George Hicks and Allan C. Bean to represent the club. Of these five only Richard Cristield had ever competed in a match. Of the seventeen teams in the match, representing both small and large schools, McGraw placed sixth with 780 points out of a possible 1000. Considering the small amount of practice we had had, no one felt deeply disappointed. We have hopes that next year we can start earlier and place evenehigher.

Barbara Owen, Barbara Wheelock, Janice Pittman and Marilyn Fuller were veterans of previous years. Beginning this year, all ten cheerleaders have to try out each year to remain on the squad. They are chosen for voice quality, precision of motion, jumping, pep, and enthusiasm. The linals are judged by faculty members. At the beginning of the season, a contest was held to get some new cheers. All children in school were allowed to enter the race. Prizes of free passes to home games were awarded to Carol Smith, first, james Ray, second, and Vesta Hines, third. McGraw cheerleaders were among the schools competing for the Cortland County Cheerleading cup. The schools are judged by their appearance the first playoff night. Among the points used to determine the winners are harmony among cheerleaders, enthusiasm, rules and regulations, sportsmanship, appearance, originality, precision of motions, speed of per- formance, and adaptability of cheers. Homer won the cup while the McGraw girls took third place. ' We cheerleaders are planning on next year as a very promising one. The thoughts of our new school will give us new vigor to do better.

Under the capable direction of our physical education teacher, Mrs. Bradley, the McGraw girls have enjoyed participat- ing in the intramural activities. The soccer intramurals were won by the Red team and captained by Shirley Stevens. The girls journeyed to Marathon on October 25, and were defeated six to one. The invitation was returned and a hard fought game was played only to end with a scoreless tie. 62 fi Ax I I x x - X KX ff 4' Wx Q A .

Mrs. Heath Carol Smith and Barbara Wheelock, representing our school, attended the meeting of the Drama Council, held at State Teachers College under the leadership of Mary Noble Smith and Delta Psi Omega. At this time some details of the Sixth Annual Drama Festival were discussed'. Many students from our school att' '-fl the festival, held April 26 - 27 - 28, the theme of which was America's Voice in Theater History . McGraw Central's dramatic activities throughout the year included the Senior play, The Divine Flora , and the follow- ing one act plays: The Neighbors , presented by the Freshman Class, Stout Hearted Freddy and Take a Look at Johnny presented by the Eighth Grade Class. Also, on Tuesday, April 10, the Drama Club sponsored a trip to Ithaca to see the Ithaca College players in Othello by William Shakespeare. PflsimfLt51ifNWlt'Wz'I '55, f 2t g'a1f- .I':.:k- - , Yip,- .

It was felt that with the increased enrollment and enlarged curriculum the Mac would be too large an undertaking for the seniors. Consequently the Yearbook Club was organized with Carol Jennings as editor and Mrs: Nellenback, faculty advisor. Those in High School who wanted to help on the yearbook were given an opportunity to Join the organization. They could designate in which journalistic field they wished to work. - Although a constitution has not been completed, the pattern for selecting officers has been set forth. The assistant editor is elected by the club thru nominations which were presented by the editor, principal, and faculty advisor. The editor, assistant editor, and advisor appointed each committee and its chairman. All committee per- sonnel are chosen from the club membership. The assistant editor automatically becomes the editor the following year. All the members of the club were divided into the following committees: Affifffwf Edilfw -.-.................... .....

The boys that are taking agriculture have organized the McGraw Chapter of the Future Farmers of America. The club started with eleven members: one senior, seven sophomores, and three freshmen. Later a junior from Homer and a freshman from Truxton joined the club. Mr. Arthur Brokaw, the teacher of Agriculture at McGraw, organized the club.

The club h lds meetings once each month with the regular FFA ritual. Many of these meetings are held at the homes of the membgis. Some ac- tivities the club has sponsored or participated in during the year are: an assembly program, purebred calves owned by as many as possible of the members, an Empire farmer from the club within two years, exhibits at the Cortland County Fair, judging contests at Virgil, Cornell, Syracuse, and Delhi, The Hoard's Dairyman cow judging contest, and a father and son banquet.

D. Brown. Standing, Teachers: Miss Van Buskerk, George Bailey. About 140 years ago, the first school in McGraw was organized. Since that time we have advanced, making the latest change the past year. Having chosen centralization as the theme of our yearbook, we wish to stop a while to look back at the history of our edu- cational system in McGraw. The very first school in McGraw was built of logs, a little west of what is now Strong's Service Station on Main Street. The school house was equally important as a church. The exact date of this building is not known but it is thought to have been built sometime before 1811. Following this school, two frame buildings were erected. One was located on the Northeast corner of South and Center Streets where the Phillips' residence now stands. The other building is believed to have stood on the corner where Washington Street extends north from Route 41. The reason for having two schools is not certain. Some people say that because anyone who had a teacher's degree could start a school, two were estab- lished in McGraw. Another version is that McGraw may have been divided into two districts, thus having a school for each district. In 1846, these two schools were joined into one building to make the present Grange Hall on Church Street. The north wing of the Grange is the former school on Center and South Streets. A newly built' south wing burned and was never rebuilt. In reviewing the history of schools in McGraw, it is of interest to note that Mrs. Israel Palmer, an early McGraw teacher, started the first Sunday School in Cortland County. Although she was a McGraw girl, her Sunday School was started in East Homer. On July 4, 1848, another milestone in the educa- tional progress of McGraw was reached with the lay- New York Central College ing of the corner stone to the Free Central College. To commemorate the day, a big parade formed in front of the Baptist and Methodist Churches. The money to found the new school was given by the Baptist Home Missionary Society and the town people of McGraw- ville. In order that the people would be able to con- tribute their share, Doctor Potter, the local physician, solicited funds. William Lloyd Garrison, Henry Ward Beecher, Garritt Smith, and Horace Greely were among abolitionists contributing to the fund. Horace Greely also gave 350 to be used to construct an entrance to the college grounds. Dr. Potter secured contributions ranging from 50c to 3100 from Lockport, Collins, Jamestown, Bath, Randolph, Buffalo and Warren, Penn- sylvania. On September 5, 1849, the college opened, with an enrollment of 20 people. By the end of the first year there were 110 students. A freshman had to meet two requirements for entrance, a suitable age of 14 and evidence of good moral character. The boarding house was used as a girls, dormitory and student cafeteria. The wings were removed after the college closed to make the present Hammond House on the corner of South and West Academy Streets. The remaining sections were destroyed by fire in 1896. The farm house, a little farther down the street, was the home of the supervisor of the college farms. The farm house, now known as the Widger House, was notably long. The first faculty of the college consisted of: Professor Cyrus Gosvenor, president of the col- lege and professor of intellectual and moral philosophy and the Hebrew language. Lemuel H. Waters, professor of Latin, Greek, Mathematics. Charles L. Reason, a mulatto professor of Bello letters and mathematics. Victor Kingsley, the tutor. Mrs. Elisa Haven, the matron and professor of the French language and drawing. Miss Sophie M. Lathrop, professor of English. Some of the textbooks used were: Latin Cicero de Senectute and de Amecetia Robinson Algebra and Spherical Trigonometry Greek, Demosthenes de Corona Mutual History-Wood's Botony, Physics Olmstead's Natural Philosophy Robinson's Astronomy Scheller's William Tell Whately's Logic Uphan's Mental Philosophy Wayland's Moral Science In 1851, the name of the college was changed from Free Central College to New York Central College. This change was made because some people came to the college under the impression that the courses were free to all who wished to attend. There were three semesters: the fall term, winter term, and spring term. The three main courses of study were: classical, scien- tific and universal. A Bachelor of Arts degree was conferred on those persons completing the classical or scientific course. The pupils were urged by the President of the col- lege to bring carpets to make their rooms more com- fortable and to take pride in keeping their rooms neat. The student could entrust his money to the.President if he so desired. The charge for a room was S3 a year while board was 351 a week. The tuition fee was 330 a year. The pupils and the teachers were all required to work on the college farm. The males received 6c an hour while females received 3c an hour. Each person associated with the college had to work two hours a day. The public was invited to inspect the college at the end of each term. The students were male and female, rich and poor, black and white. A ledger of New York Central Col- lege, now found in the Lamount Library in McGraw, does not classify blacks from whites. A record also shows that of the enrolled four hundred, only fourteen received as low a mark as 8012. The majority of the marks were above 9576, the girls receiving more 100's than the boys. The last year in which the college offered its com- plete curriculum of thirty-two subjects was 1854. After 1854, the attendance decreased until there were only 8 attending in 1860. In 1854, the governing body of the college was listed as: A. Scofield, Georgetown, President Archibald Campbell, Hamilton, Vice-President Professor G. L. Brochett, McGrawville, Corres- ponding Secretary Philander Knight, Scott, Recording Secretary Eld. H. Caldwell, McGrawville, Treasurer L. Wellington H. Waters, McGrawville, Treasurer Trustees were as follows: A. Benjamin Silas Hammond Nathan Griswold William Pierce Ira .Baker Israel Palmer Luther Wellington S. G. jones p S. S. Hayward Ira Day A. Scofield H. D. Penney J. F. Kingsbury Philander Knight David Pease A. L. Post R. Hollister D. F. Payson H. Waters Horace Stowell A. Fairbanks E. D. Loomis In 1858, it was recorded that Miss King, a faculty member, received 552.50 a week and even then the pay was not regular. After the college closed, Miss King remained in McGraw until her death on june 5, 1880. She was buried on the plot with her Negro friend, Anna Marsh, Professor Grosvenor's daughter. The college was fast falling into debt when in 1858, Gerritt Smith became president, using his own money to pay the back debts. The college closed in the spring of 1859 because of lack' of funds but reopened in the fall of 1860. Finally, in the spring of 1861, the college closed forever. The political controversy, fslaveryj lack of funds to pay the faculty and the corruptness of the trustees in appropriating and mismanaging the sub- scription funds led to its downfall. The abolitionists would not support the college because it was a white college while the opponents would not support it be- cause it was a nigger college. White people were wary of sending their children to the college because of the recent school scandal. Miss King, a prominent white man's daughter, and Professor Allen, a mulatto, eloped causing much resentment and making the racial problem a reason for the closing. The smallpox epi- demic of 1850 added to the causes of the diminishing attendance. Finally, in 1864, the college grounds and building, valued at 35o,ooo, were sold for 36,500 to a McGraw Stock Company headed by P. H. McGraw. Some eminent people who attended the college were: Mary Edmond Lewis, a Negress, who became a famous sculptress. Reverend Agariah Smith, the editor of Atlantic Monthly. Miss Russell and the three Edmond sisters, characters in Harriet Beecher Stowe's Uncle Tom's Cabin . The old college building stood until it was de- molished in 1885. Today the only remainders of this past phase in our town are the burying grounds on the hill behind the college where the victims of the small- pox outbreak were buried, the cupola, oak doors, stair- ways and numerous timbers of the college now found on the Bean Brothers' barn on the Cortland Road. A collection of rocks and minerals from the old college used in the natural philosophy course is now said to be at the McGraw Central School. The college, which guaranteed at its beginning that, Students will here be comparatively free from the contaminating influences of profanity, gambling, and intemperance, in short the great end of the institution will be to make men of business, men of thought and men of God, has vanished forever. Although all records consulted do not agree and mistakes are evidentg the salient facts of a grand old college are carefully enumerated in this article. After the college had failed in 1864, stockholders bought the building for Sl6,500. Organized in the same building was the New York Central Academy. Students were required to pay for their education. They could work on the farm, the men' earning 6c an hour and the women earning 3c an hour. There is no record of the subjects or teachers. Later, in 1867, the college building was resold and a Union Free School was established. The Grange Hall, on Church Street, which had been used as a school, was included in the new academy. The term, Union Free, was given because the new school assimilated the Church Street school and the Rowe District, fright side of South Hillj. It was also a free school to be attended by anyone, as the title indicates. In 1885, the McGraw High School, which stood directly in front of the present school, was built. When. the school first started it was a Union School, then a Middle School, a junior School, a Senior School and finally in 1909 a High School. These ad- vancements from a Union School to the High School were based on the equipment and enrollement in the school. Records show that, up until 1895 when the first class was graduated, only two people had received academic diplomas. Those two, Bert Bramen and Doctor Harry Bramen, received their honors -in 1887. Another item reveals that the first athletic event was McGraw High School, built in 1885 not held until about 1920. The first physical educa- tion teacher was Nina Rowe, now Mrs. Nina Crist. Standing, left to right: Welland Wadsworth, Mr. Harris, Ray- mond Stafford. Sitting: Fred Davis, Clarence Wadsworth, Percibal Euson. In 1929, the present building was erected, as a result of public request. A larger school was needed to accommodate the increased enrollment. Empire Corset Company presented the new school with a 60 foot flag pole which now stands on the front lawn. Mr. Hewitt, the last veteran of the Civil War, gave the flag. Sitting: Julia Euson. First row, left to right: Elizabeth Palmer Reakes, Mildred Webster, Cora Wadsworth Foster, Eva Wadsworth Smith. Second row: Gertrude Sanborn, English Instructor and Girls Coach. In recent years the public has felt that we should centralize to accommodate the increasing enrollment, and to offer pupils more opportunities in a wider field. New subjects would include music, art, home- making, shop, and agriculture. The increased state aid available to all central school districts will enable us to have these facilities at little increase in cost. On june 29, 1950, the voters of what is now the McGraw Central School District No. 4 voted on the question of centralization. The results were favor- able with 847 ballots cast in favor against 204 ballots in opposition. The first big step after centralization was build- ing the school garage. At a meeting in September, the taxpayers voted 355,000 for building and fur- nishing the new building. The school has bought four new busses and also inherited two busses and a station wagon from the Solon districts. One more bus will be added, sub- ject to the approval of the voters. This bus will be used for educational trips, athletic events, and for emergencies.

Zogg, Miss Leah Day, later became Doctor of the Kinder- garten Department at Cortland College. In the near future it will be necessary to build an addition to the school to take care of not only the increased enrollment but also the additional curricu- lar and extra-curricular activities. This addition would consist of about 12 classrooms, a kindergarten room, and a separate auditorium and gymnasium. The present gymnasium would be made into a cafe- teria and kitchen. The new addition will be large enough to house all pupils in the central district if and when the branch schools decide to close. Everyone agrees that the school, along with the home and church, is of utmost importance to the community. Let us cherish all records of our school's past merits. May we work together, now and in future years, to promote its usefulness and influences for worthy purposes.
