Veering from the routed course was permitted in order to allow participa- tion in the intra-mural basketball league, in which league the shop team per- formed creditably-and for a trip to the Metal Trade School in Batavia for the purpose of gaining a better understanding of how Vocational Education differs from Industrial Arts Education. Although the ships failed to find the port of Perfection they did reach many of their objectives during the search. In addition a basis was provided forflbuilding a more diversified program in the future for those who will follow in this study of how Industry may be better understood and utilized in better ways to serve our needs in present day civilization. 28 I -r iff ,N U Vyini V X 4 ,Zim v ,.: -V ..- 4, H- 1 H' 4 ' YS . 1 kY,- 9 Y M , f L 'I W WI, j r I W Q X .xg V4 K C , ' 2f . g A -.

Edna Rhodes, French II. l41 Latin A ROMAN BANKER EXTUS HERRENIUS PROBUS was a great banker of old Rome. His bank- ing house was one of the oldest houses on the Via Saira. Probus, an eques, had wealth surpassing that of most senators. His father helped such a great personage as the philosopher Seneca to make, and to manage his huge fortune. The real origin of the firm dated back to Augustus' settlement of Egypt when the successful liquidation of the Royal estates of Cleopatra provided enormous and lawful commissions. Probus, himself, was practically the custodian of many of the noblest patrimonies in Rome. Probus, of course, ran a regular banking business. He had several junior partners besides a great corps of clerks, some freedmen, and some slaves. His office had all the signs of a well ordered commercial establishment. Every item of his business was entered in an elaborate system of ledgers, which were regularly brought into court as the most reliable kind of evidence. He issued bills of exchange on corresponders in various other cities. Money was deposited with him and withdrawn by personal checks. The firm paid interest on long time deposits and, of course, loaned money for long or short periods on what seemed good security. Besides its banking business Probus' firm also did business similar to that of a Trust Company. It made sales and purchases for its clients, undertook to close up estates and above all conducted auctions of large quantities of goods in the most responsible manner possible. Also, on the side, the firm maintain- ed several smaller savings banks with which they attracted the meager coins of the poor. T0 insure the safety of money there were at all the banks very strong brass-bound treasure boxes carefully guarded and protected by elaborate locks. However, objects of great value were deposited in the Temple of Castor where the government undertook their storage for a moderate fee. John Ludeman, Latin I. 31 LITERATURE ROMAN ARCHITECTURE EFORE the conquest of Greece, the Romans obtained their architectural designs from the Etruscans. They made frequent use of the round arch and also the glazed tile or earthenware for finishing interiors. With conquest of Greece, the Romans added the Greek orders of architecture, the result being a combination of designs, which, in the reign of Augustus and the emperors following, made Rome the most magnificent city in the world. The Romans became masters in the use of the column and many of their structures were characterized by beautiful colonnades supporting light roofs, while massive- ness and size characterized many of their structures. The adoption of the Greek orders of architecture by Rome and the influence of the Roman Empire upon the civilization of Europe caused the orders to gain a firm hold upon the countries of the West, where they were considered standard types for countries. The distinctive feature of Roman architecture is the free use of the arch and the use of domes and vaulting, which are derived from the arch. Another feature of Roman construction is the variety of building materials used. Be- sides marble and other kinds of stone, they employed brick and also a remark- ably hard concrete made of volcanic earth mixed with lime. Easy to prepare and put in place, the concrete was as hard and strong as stone itself. Brick and concrete were often used for the main thickness of walls, and the surface was covered with thin slabs of marble. This made it possible for much of the work of building to be done by unskilled laborers and slaves. Except for height, many of the buildings of the Romans would compare favorably in size with the largest buildings of today. At Rome, some of the palaces were more than a hundred feet high and many of the houses contained seven or eight stories. Louise Greene, Latin II. lgi.. ROMAN PEASANT GIRL IN HER KITCHEN RAVELING back through the centuries, we visit the outskirts of Pompeii in the first century A. D. We see Trena, a Roman peasant girl of fifteen, carrying a jug of water to- wards her home. Her two-room hut with a stone step at the entrance seems to be kept very neat and clean. There is a large jar in front of her home and from it several plants of clinging vines are climbing to the tile roof. We see her put down the jug and begin to bake bread. Most of her kitchen utensils are made of clay. Among them are spoons, dishes, pots and bowls. The loaves of bread she makes are round and rather small with the tops marked off into sections. Roman bread is made of white flour and some of whole wheat flour or bran. Trena often made her uncle's favorite cake, cheese cake. The following recipe, which she used, has been handed down to us from the writings of the elder Cato. Bray well two pounds of cheese in a mortar and when this is done, pour in one pound of cornmeal Cor, if wanted dainty mix one half pound of fiourl with the cheese. Add one egg and beat well. Pat into a cake, place on leaves, and bake slowly on a hot hearth stove. Irene Di Fiore, Latin I. 32 LITERATURE English POETRY A HOUSE OF THE PAST I know and love three ancient trees, Whose duty seems to be To guard, with zeal, an old brick house Which means the world to me. Within those walls I've seen and lived The joy, the grief, the pain, Which every earth-born son of man Bears time and time again. But sentimental thoughts like these Too soon are cast aside, For straw and brass, the smaller things Of this world's little pride. So, when I'm bored with modern life, So loud, so drab, so dull- My thoughts go back to three old trees And the house I love so well. Buddy Traver, English IV i,.i GIFT OF FRIENDSHIP My friend came home from far away, And brought a gift for me. But in my hand no trinket lay, And there was nothing I could see. She gave to me a cheering word, A happy smile, a loving glance, And in my heart new courage stirred To conquer changing circumstance. There is no gift that can be bought, Or any work of art, As precious as the one she brought: The beauty of a friendly heart. Jean Root, English IV 4..i.

Why bother to struggle for a place in the world, For soon the stone of defeat is hurled? The cheat, the cad, care little for life- They'd rather just glide, not tasting the strife, Why bother to live under aged traditions When before us they're discarded for other conditions? Is it worthwhile to live in honor's dwelling When each day honor is quickly selling To those who like to live the easy way? Why bother to strive for life each day ' When we, like others, can buy our way? Betty Jordan, English IV. L., A DOUBLE LIMERICK There was a young fellow named Walker, Who never was much of a talker, But he met with Irene And she's such a queen That he'd soon said more than he'd ought'er. The Latin verb amo he did conjugate Past, present, and future, from early till late. He did it so well That for it she fell, And so that's how Miss Hill met her fate. Dorothy Yunker, English IV. SONNET TO MISS PRIOR To her who stood by us but three short years, Who coached us in our English three and four, For her will flow unstintedly our tears, As Oakfield High will know her help no more. Through the golden days of next September We hope that thoughts of us will still remain And in her Work our love she will remember And forever think of Oakfield as the same. But yet we know long after she's gone, That to us like a song from days of old Her merry tones will ever linger on, Almost as if she still were in our fold. And though life's paths may take us far asunder, 'Tis true that absence makes the heart grow fonder. Dorothy Yunker, English IV. 34: LITERATURE CURSED BE YE MAN Cursed be ye man, For all your thoughts Of lust, avarice, and sin. Cursed be ye man, . For all your faults, Your wicked minds, your grins. Does not that brain given you by God Enable you to know, That you were chosen by Him above To rule this world so low? But you heed not such thoughts of God, For pleasing to your lowly self Are things made not by God, but man- Things made to lessen toils of life. So, led unconsciously by greed, You let your gift'd minds be still, And, like the lowly, ignorant dog, Plunge freely into war and strife. Not even lessons of the past, Can sway your stubborn brain. And though you know it to be wrong, You let war come again. Cursed be ye man, For keeping thoughts Of lust, avarice, and sin. Cursed be ye man, For all your faults, Your Wicked minds, your grins. Buddy Traver, English IV T., WHY! Why is the earth so round and large, The sky so big and blue? Why is the sun so far away? O, how I wish I knew. Why does the rain fall in the spring, The moon light up at night? I cannot find an answer Though I try with all my might. O, lots of things do puzzle me, And keep me in the dark, But after all-what is this life But just a question mark? A Senior, English IV 00 FROM THE STUDY HALL LITERATURE THE CLOCK Just see the clock upon the shelf, It always goes tick-tock . It cannot swimg it cannot iiy, It cannot creep nor walk. It has two hands, but strange to say, It hasn't any feet. U But still it runs on day by dayg It really can't be beat. It has no pencil in its hands, But still it marks the timeg It has no brains within its face To reason or to rhyme. It never tires, but keeps its hands A-going 'round and 'round, Both day and night, and never stops If just you keep it wound. Now, boys and girls, be like the clock Be faithful to your task! Just mind your business all the time That's all the world will ask. Fern Shepard, English IV .lgl My gaze to the window wanders And takes in the scene outside- The apple trees in blossom, And the greening countryside. I can see close by the railroad, With an occasional long dark traing Smoke from the stack is billowing As the iire is stoked again. I can see the street and houses, And the gardens filled with vines, And sometimes children playing, And washings on the lines. Afar are the crops and the fields- A patchwork of green and brown, Where the crops already are growing And Where the plow has turned the ground I'm sharply recalled from my wandering The first bell ends my fun, And I'l1 be caught again today Without my English done!

Jo Olmsted, English IV. ....,.. DICTATORS We read of dictators who wish for war Upon the weak, the helpless and the old, Treated like cattle on the hills afarg Across a conference table bought and sold. Children brought up to serve as cannon fodder, And fed on tales of hatred and of bloodg Until without a thought of wife or daughter They fight like dogs and fall into the flood. We see these nations tax, then arm and fight Until their people die beneath a load Of iron and steel, built to defend a right Disguised in propaganda, spread and sowed By spies and agents of the dictators , Who hope for bloodshed, hatred, and for wars. Robert Maher, English IV ...T I'D LIKE I'd like to be an engineer Of a huge streamlined train. I know that I'd have no fear But be competent and sane. At night I'd like to ride the rails And see the moon shine bright: Along the shore I'd look for sails That travel through the night. I'd, like to pull the throttle rope And watch the land stream byg I'm sure that I'd be filled with hope If I traveled fast on high. Verle Campbell, English IV. 37 LITERATURE STAYING AFTER SCHOOL Why does it happen when a lesson I shirk, That the teacher must find me without my homework? Though I give an excuse, it's most always the rule That the teacher just says, You stay after school! I go to her room and I take out the bookg She says not a word and she gives not a look, And so, there I sit, as time wears away, Recalling the fun I might be having in play. My heart fills with hatredg I tremble with rage: The four walls of the room resemble a cage. After an hour of time which passes so slow, The teacher looks up and says, You may go. I storm from the building and go out to the street, My evening is ruined so I go home to eat. I can't understand it, I never could see Why those teachers delight in picking on me.

Life is a bridge of calamity- Entangled by the rush of modern living, But every life is precious. Life is an avenue of cheer- Free from the evils of humanity. Life is an avenue of sorrow- Cursed by the wrongs of the sinner. Life is an avenue of faith- Dependent upon those who are capable, Because every life is precious. Life is a path- . Widened by the expansion of knowledge. Life is a path- Bumpy and crooked before years of experience have improved it. Life is a path- Winding and endless until death, But every life is precious.

When God made this world, He gave us night to end the long, light day That we might rest undisturbed. But we-we have destroyed the flowers, fishes, forests, fertile lands And we-we have marred the beauty of the earth And we-we have made plains of once treed, heights And we-we have lost intended rest by staying up at night So now, we beg, plead, cry For lovely things we have destroyed By lowly whim, fancy, and greed.

In reading any book, I try first to determine the author's purpose-is it to entertain, to show a character, to reveal the author's view point about life, to illustrate a theory, to exemplify a moral principle, to bring about a reform, to present a historical picture, or just what is it? I also try to detect any qual- ities in the author's style which would help me to identify him-is his plot and action true to life, could his characters possibly be real or are they merely fan- tastic individuals which result from an over-imaginative author, is there an attempt at atmosphere through description? As I read, I keep in mind the age which the story involves and note how people of that time looked at facts and interpreted life, I look for the political, social, and economic aspects of the period which may be reflected in the story, and the manner in which the people dealt with such problems of that nature. As it is important Whether or not the author writes in a prejudiced manner concerning any conflicts in the story, I try to detect any of his traits which may be revealed through his char- acter. Finally, I look for friends, ai new life, and beauty in literature-friends which are ever loyalg a life in which I may travel at will without trouble and expenseg and, the beauty which others have marveled at, which I may never have the opportunity to enjoy except through literature. Marian Mason, English IV. L... THE BET CBY ANTON CHEKOVD 'The Bet' is a psychological story in that the interest is carried along not by action but by the reactions of men's minds to their situations. His greed for money sentenced the lawyer to fifteen years of solitary confinement, and led him to study and to make use of those iifteen years in gaining a wealth of knowledge. Yet, that study-the very thing by which he hoped to gain money-led him to scorn money and to despise the human race and its weak- nesses. After having been coniined fifteen years to obtain a sum of money, he found that he was above all that-all money had to offer. Thus he left a short while before his time was up and disappeared. The banker, also greedy, could have easily spared two millions when he made the bet. Through fifteen years of life, in which he had his friends and his freedom, he speculated in stocks and bonds and gradually lost his millions. Money meant more to him than life itself. He was willing to kill the lawyer with whom he had made the bet in order to keep his money. But after having read the lawyer's renunciation of humanity and its god-money, he could feel only contempt for himself. Such were the reactions of two men's minds to their situations-one of scorn for humanity, the other of contempt for himself. ' Edna Rhodes, English IV. 42 LITERATURE WHY STUDY ENGLISH? EW realize that the study of English is rapidly growing more important in the education of our youth-important because the study of English is the mastery of our language as a science, as a history, as a joy, and, last, but not least, as a tool. The presentation of English as a science is grammar and analyzing. We form a sentence and then it is ruthlessly torn apart to learn what lies hidden behind the words, to learn of their origin, and then to put the entire thing together again, having been fascinated by its construction. To establish the scientific manner in which composition is created, however, one should possess restraint and the ability to construct. The good writer should be an artist, but he cannot climb to such heights if he does not study the fundamentals and basic factors of English. Writers such as Shakespeare and Keith make it possible for even the poor man to follow through and understand the thoughts of his ancestors. Notable Works in prose and verse supply us with the knowledge of centuries ago. Through English we study these and make stronger our understanding of to- day's history as well as that of our ancestors. Poetry, essay, story, and drama, each having its own nutriment or correc- tion, provides one with enjoyment and relief. At a moment of despair one can seek refuge in the lovable works of his loved authors by whose charms he re- fines and sweetens. The study of English touches off the match, but to keep the flame in existence, one should continue with the wee task of extensive reading. ' Finally, we use English as a tool. Our language is the fundamental means of communicating with others. We use it to maintain what we command, to express ourselves, our thoughts, and our feelings, and to peculiarly arouse a close association between individuals. The culture derived from studying English cannot be obtained from any other high school subject, therefore, let us all diligently study English. Mary Angeles, English IV. 43 LITERATURE RECALLED TO LIFE N a manner unique and supreme, Dickens, in The Tale of Two Cities, em- bellishes trivial facts to portray realistically the horror, bloodshed and grief existing during the French Revolution. One of his themes is Recalled To Life. Dickens acquaints one with the times by describing them in contrasting style-he says, It was the best of times, it was the worst of times, it was the age of wisdom, it was the age of foolishness,-. Then, England's disorderli- ness and injustice, along with burglaries and smuggling, are introduced. French conditions are far Worse-weak rule, discontented people, countless scenes of innocents placed in tumbrils, fed to the merciless guillotine, and watched by stone-hearted spectators who enjoyed the process which left a figure minus a head! Having described the era generally, Dickens goes to Dover Road, over which three passengers were traveling. Since the horses seemed disturbed, the driver got out and saw that a messenger had stopped to find out if a Mr. Lorry were in the stage-coach, then he gave him a dispatch from Tellson's Bank. Lorry, enroute to Paris on business, told Jerry to reply, Recalled to Life. Jerry was so confused that he considered Lorry drunk and unconscious of the reply made, but Jerry didn't know that Lorry dreamed about freeing a forty- five-year-old man from his eighteenth year of imprisonment. The coach reached Dover, and Mr. Lorry went in the Royal George Hotel to the empty coffee-room, and pondered on how he could free that soul. When Lucie Manette came to him, he told her that he was going to free her father whom she thought dead. Dead? In a senseg for, an eighteen-year imprison- ment couldn't offer much for a full life. Then, they went to Defarge's wine- shop on a handy corner in Saint Antoine Where wine was spilled on the streets, soaked up in rags, and squeezed into thirsty mouths. Defarge led them to a garret where Dr. Manette, making ladies' shoes, was kept. The venerable gentleman was so stunned by his daughter's appearance, that it was immaterial to him whether or not he was dug out -or shall we say, Recalled to Life? Rose Sapienza, English IV. 44 LIBRARY Library FOUR DUCKS IN A POND 66 OUR Ducks In a Pond, by Ruth Sawyer, is the story of a young girl, Tad Mason, Whose hunger for life and fear of it battled in her for victory. Her father was a horrid, unclean, whining creature always complaining about his work on the farm: her mother was a tired, unkempt, irritable person who worked from dawn 'till dusk and yet never finished her tasks. The house was always in a clutter-dirty, greasy dishes stacked high in the kitchen, a sticky baby playing in the middle of the iioor, swarming fiies over everything, stale cooking odors prevailing, and dirt everywhere. In this murky atmosphere Tad had lived a daily life of hard unending toil for eighteen years, being the oldest of the eight Mason children. Tad was little and hollow-chestedg too gaunt to be pretty. She was now ready to leave this world for another-she was going away to State College. She hated her lifeg she compared it to the slimy, dirty duck pond behind their house. Ever since she could remember there had been dirty bedraggled ducks that raised every year a brood of fluffy yellow ducklings who in their turn be- came more dirty ducks. The hopelessness of their cycle cut through Tad's sensibilities like a surgeon's knife. She wanted to get away from this existence but-- What's the use, thought Tad. What's the use of trying to get out of it when you know something older, stronger than you, will pull you back in again? Both her father and mother objected to her goingg only her oldest brother urged her on. One day she left. She walked down the narrow dusty lane eager to get away, yet- She happened to glance back at the duck pond, and it flung her a challenge, insolent and contemptuous: Go ahead, it said. See if you can get away from me. See if you can ever forget me! She had at college two staunch friends, Danny Herron, an Irish boy, and Bobby Campbell, her lively roommate. Both of them understood Tad and helped bring her out of her shell. She learned to swim, to dance, and how to dress. At the end of her first year, she was a happy, changed girl.. She had cast from her mind the vivid details of the duck pond and was planning to spend the summer vacation at Bobby's home. She had her trunks all packed to leave for her much anticipated vacation when a letter came for her. It was from her father. Her mother was very ill and there was no money leftg Tad must come home. There was not a moment's hesitation on Tad's party she was going home-back to the duck pond. Joan Hint, English II. 45 LIBRARY MODERN BIOGRAPHY ROM the fiood of twentieth century literature, and from a list of successes, I select an autobiography which is about the famous personality, Madame Frances Alda, the versatile and glorious operatic star. The book was written to inspire others by revealing how life may exemplify a certain ideal. It has a catchy and magnetic title, Men, Women, and Tenors , instead of the old staid titles of yesterday's biographies. It presents a person as he actually is and does not contain stale hero-worship. The person's life is picked up in exciting pieces and then put together as a jigsaw puzzle. It consists of the subject's life-her possessions, profession, daily problems, an- ecdotes, amusements, and her associates. It contains humor, emotional power, eloquence, vividness, and irony. The book is full of wit, contains beautiful de- scriptions of life before and behind the footlights of the magnificent Metropol- itan Opera House, La Scala at Milan, and London's Covent Garden-the four stages which every singer dreams of triumphing. The temperamental tenors, foolish jealousies among actors, and depressing failures are to be fought by wholehearted determination, extreme courage, and a boundless will to work. The subject of this book is an excellent example of a youthful struggler for suc- cess, admiration, and magnificence. Her associates are all famous individuals who are inhabitants of this modern world. Undoubtedly, this book is not fan- tastic, fairy-like and unreal, because it is true to life. It is typical of the tragedies, the comedies, and the composition of life. This autobiography is full of hilarity, love and useful advice. There is also, all the despair that can breed in the fertile soil of intimate association with life. Anna Damiani, English IV. ..-,-.. MAIN STREET By Sinclair Lewis 66 AIN STREET clearly presents the complex problems which reared themselves from the haphazard growth of our present-day Western cities. Employing a typical, ugly, undeveloped hamlet for an illustration, the author has forcibly expounded his theories on some of these modern riddles. The author, an experienced writer, is capable of accurate, detailed, power- ful narration which makes his scenes realities. He utilizes the conflicts caused by certain types of people and natural tendencies of the civilized world to ex- emplify his points. Through these, he plays most compellingly upon the emo- tions of the readerg and by the creation of certain events to fit into his scheme, he conveys his story and ideas to us. Since Sinclair Lewis has incorporated many personal ideas in this excep- tional book, I will attempt to describe only one. Mr. Lewis' idea is that these little settlements which dot the country are but a small edition of a nation. In these communities one finds the equivalent to Jim Farley, John Lewis, and the Du Ponts to parallel the famous ones. These town people play the same part for the nation. However, it is the small business men in the obscure vil- lage whose support is needed for local acts or whose condemnation obliterates other affairs just as the powerful middle class or bourgeois makes or breaks a nation. This principle, when pondered over, can hardly be thwarted for the sheer logic of it is easily perceived. Thus, by reading Mr. Lewis' answers to some of our modern-day problems, we are given new hope and courage to face concrete challenges which we meet. Julia Hint, English III. 46 LIBRARY IT CAN'T HAPPEN HERE Sinclair Lewis N idealist of modern literature possessing extreme enthusiasm in the field of political controversy, Sinclair Lewis, writes his novel to satisfy the more satirical and ironical people, to present pictures of the jigsaw puzzle in Europe, and to inform the citizens of this country on our thrifty and industrious nation. This writer Wishes us to read the novel not only for appreciation, but he encourages us to study facts. He speaks of Jew financiers controlling practi- cally all business and currency, labor unions submitting themselves as money- grabbers, Jew spies posing as American liberals, arguments for and against Fascism and Communism, debates on Social Democracy and communism, and differences of liberals and conservatives which enter into the lives of the peo- ple. Something very striking and noticeable is his portrayal of the conservative Senators, United States Chamber of Commerce, giant bankers, monarchs of steel motors, electricity, and coal, brokers, and the holding companies to the Bourbon kings of Whom it was said that they forgot nothing and they learned nothing. Digging into economic situations causes him to reveal that money isn't everything in our progressive world, that our country needs discipline to restore its senses, and that the need of highbrow intellectuality and book-learn- ing is rapidly decreasing. Politics enters Mr. Lewis' life because of his keen interest in showing the difficulties of a modern nation. When a country has gone money-mad, and our labor unions and workmen with their propaganda have raised income taxes so that the thrifty and industrious have to pay the people, then Mr. Lewis thinks that to save the lazy souls and get some iron into them, a war might be a good end. There is no country in the world that can get more hysterical or more obsequious than America. This book is the product of a talented writer who has a clear imagination, and who forecasts with powerful vision, a most logical picture of the scenes which stand out in a simple, truthful, and vivid manner.

All the meetings of the club have been carried on in parliamentary form and a special constitution was drawn up for the members consisting of laws and by-laws, etc. Combined with the rules is the purpose of the Junto Club which is: to enable us to find ourselves and understand others, to facilitate ap- preciation of drama, and to acquaint the public with its value, we, the Seniors of Oakfield High School, form the Junto Club. Sincerest appreciation is extended by the Junto Club to Miss Prior, as leader and director of this movement, and to her assistants, Mr. Gilbert and Mr. Schiffner, for their kind cooperation. In addition to a thorough study of choral reading conducted by Mr. Gilbert, the club presented in assembly two plays under the direction of Miss Prior. The first play presented to the high school and grade school was a comedy entitled His First Date. The story concerns the first date of a typical Amer- ican boy of a typical American family. He is to entertain Miss Lorraine Lotus, a glamorous Hollywood star, much to the distress of his father. Upon Miss Lotus' arrival Mr. Tippett finds her to be his former sweetheart Henry goes out on his date and Mrs. Tippett gains a victory over her husband in the form of a new name,, Fweddie-weddief' The cast was as follows: Mrs. Tippett ......v...........................................

Property managers were as follows: Rose Marie Sapienza, Mary Angeles, Filippina Pilato, Virginia Rowley. The second play presented by the Junto Club was a mystery tragedy, Message From Khufuf' This mysterious drama concerns three d.eserters from the Foreign Legion on an Archaelogical expedition with a professor. In a tomb they find an Egyptian mummy, Khufu, with a large gem in his hands. A curse on the stone causes the door of the tomb to lock when they remove the stone from his hands. After killing the professor and quarreling over the stone, two of the men meet death in strange ways. The coward, frightened by his situation, places the stone back in the murnmy's hands and escapes. Sus- pense gains a hold on the audience through lighting effects and scenery which create an air of mystery. The cast is as follows: Butch -,--,-g,---,,---,--,, .-..,...,...

Girls' Glee Club The Girls' Glee .Club has been reorganized under the direction of Miss Schuler, and with the addition of a few new voices and a few new selections, has greatly improved during the last year. The numbers which the girls have been working on are My Johnny Was a Shoemaker arranged by Deems Taylor, The Green Cathedral By Carl Hahn, Clouds by Oley Speaks, A Winter Lullaby by Reginald de Koven, and The San-'man's Song by Howard Mc- Kinney. The club is composed of the following girls: Anna Calus Erma Caton Gloria Caton Imogene Cookson Jeanette Christopher Anna Damiani Libri DiFiore ' Irene DiFiore Joyce Donjnn' Shirley Frosdick Anna Galeota Natalie Galeota Dorothy Glatz Joan Hint Lorraine Howard Julia Latko Josephine Madonia Rose Madonia Patricia Martin Pauline Miller Angeline Mosco Mary Nagel Olgo Nicometo Lillian Nyquist Josephine Olmsted Gina Perozzi 54 Lena Pilato Georgette Richards Edna Rhodes Leola Scott Rheta Seaburg Marion Snyder Dorothy Starkweather Marilyn Thornton Lucille Wickens Lucille Young Pearl Young Virginia Rowley ACTIVITIES Oakfield High School Orchestra Director-Mr. C. R. Rhoades The orchestra has had another successful year under the direction of Mr. Rhoades, who has improved the orchestra greatly during the past year. An as- sembly program was put on by the orchestra which was put over with much success. The Orchestra is preparing many new symphonic numbers such as: The Turkish March by Beethoven, Ballet Music from Rosamunde by Schu- bert, Capriccio in A by Hagdin, and Humoresque by Tschackonsky for a concert on May 8 which will be held in the auditorium, and for the Music Festi- val on May 13 at Dansville which they plan to attend.

Two years ago Louise Greene won the honor, and again in 1938, William Bird captured the title. At the county spelling contest at Robert Morris High School in Batavia this year, Joanne Yunker again brought the title home to Oakfield. Joanne was named school champion with Janice Domn in second place, and Mary Wicks and Robert Brundage were named as alternates for these spellers. On May 20 Joanne will compete in Buffalo, and if she is chosen one of the two champions there, she will go to Washington, D. C., as a contestant in the national spelling contest. Whether she wins at Buffalo or not, she will go to the State Fair at Syracuse to take part in the spelling contest there. To Mr. Norman Slocum, who has had charge of the training of our contest- ants for the past three years, is due much credit for the successes of the Oak- field spellers. 56 fQ i. ACTIVITIES i Mixed Chorus The Mixed Chorus which is a group consisting of the Girls' Glee Club with the addition of a number of boys has been making steady progress during the last year. They are planning to attend the Music Festival at Dansville on May 12. For use at the festival they are perfecting the songs On the Road to Man- dalay, and I Dream of Jeanie . The numbers which the Mixed Chorus have been working on are Lullaby, Thou Little Tiny Child by English Carol, Sleep- ers Wake by Bach, and the Kerry Dance , by Maloy.

Much of the credit for the squad's success goes to Miss Meadoff and Mr. Schiifner for their unceasing efforts to improve and per- fect the cheer leaders' technique. The cheerleaders spent many hours after school with the instructors, composing new and unique cheers and learning the latest motions to lead the cheering. The Board of Education was Very considerate in buying blue and white chenille emblems for the appreciative leaders to wear proudly on the royal blue sweaters which were purchased. We hope to have an even better cheering squad next year to help our teams come through the season undefeated.

During the year the girls work- ed on two compositions-a Modern Dance with music by Cyril Scott and Dance Macabre with music by St. Saens. These were presented in the Demonstration along with a waltz to Maytime. The dance as a persistent human activity is a vital factor in contemporary culture both in its lay and in its art forms. The work in dance affords a com- mand of the field through experience in movement, critical judgment of form through work in composition and understanding of the place of the dance in society. The basic method used is that of the modern dance. This does not preclude the incorporation of other methods. The method is that of group ac- tivity for those students whose interests lie in the direction of the dance. Miss Schuler, accompanist for the organization, selected the music for the dances and Mrs. Arthur Martin made the modern dance dresses.

F. A. Members The Future Farmer Chapter in its second year has diminished in size, but accomplishments made during the past year have made up for this decrease. In beginning where the 1938 Oracle left off, we find that Paul Caton, after having won the county horse-shoe pitching tournament lost out in the sectionals held at Akron. The chapter project of an acre and a half of green tomatoes was carried through to completion with many boys being given the credit for its success. The boys in the chapter realized a labor income of S43. During the summer of 1938, two meetings were held to take care of the necessary business. A judging team took part in the Dairy Field Day held at Batavia Fair grounds. During the latter part of August, Paul Roth, Kenneth McEntee, Robert Wright, Herbert Wolcott, and Donald Parsons took part in the annual State Fair program at Syracuse. As the fall season came on, a touch football team was organized which won two games over the Elba Aggies by the score of 21-O and 7-0. In November, the annual fall judging contests were held at Alfred, and Rodney Forsyth and Everett McClurg placed third in judging apples. The first social event of the chapter was held at the home of Clayton and Edward Sharp a few days before Christmas. An A and B basketball team was formed and played in the intra-murals during the winter months. The A team lost out in an extra period game to the Juniors and consequently, lost the first half in the league. The A team won three games against the Elba Future Farmers and both the A and B teams won over the Alexander Ag. boys. 62 ACTIVITIES About ten boys made the trip to Rochester to the horticulture show and took part in the many contests. A plant disease team, represented by Rodney Forsyth, Kenneth McEntee, and Warren Schaal, placed ninth. On February 1, Everett McClurg, Paul Roth, Kenneth McEntee, and Warren Schaal took advan- tage of an opportunity to broadcast over station WBEN. Each boy took a part of the motto, Learning to do, doing to learn, earning to live, living to serve. The annual two day trip to Ithaca was made during Farm and Home week in February. Ten boys made the trip and took part in the many activities held for the Future Farmers during that week. Kenneth McEntee, representing this chapter in plant disease, placed sixth in the contest in which 85 schools were represented. Paul Roth and Clayton Sharp acted as delegates to the leadership training school. The second annual Future Farmer Banquet was held in the agriculture and kindergarten rooms, the evening of April 18. About 100 parents and friends were present and enjoyed an interesting program. Mr. B. H. Darrow, Educa- tion Director of station WBEN, Buffalo, was the principal speaker. Awards were given out to the Future Farmers in recognition of their work for the fiscal year ending April 1. Kenneth McEntee was awarded the regulation letter and gold pin for obtaining the highest number of points in the activity contests, the number being 4621. Others to receive letters were Paul Roth, 4335g Ev- erett McClurg, 4241 g' Herbert Wolcott, 3578g Rodney Forsyth, 35653 Edward Sharp, 3431, Warren Schaal, 2555 and Clayton Sharp, 2525. Donald Cook won the medal for outstanding AG I member. Clyde Starkweather won first prize in the Dairymen's League District contest and a prize of 35.00. On May 2, the county demonstration contest held at Elba was won by Rodney Forsyth and Kenneth McEntee by showing how to caponize cockerels. This same team won Western New York honors by winning at Alfred on May 5. On May 20, this team competed against six sections in the state to determine the team to represent New York in the World's Poultry Congress to be held at Cleveland, Ohio. Dairy cattle were also judged at Alfred. In reward for their ac- tivities during the year, the Oakfield Oakie Chapter has been selected as one of the six chapters in the State to construct a booth in the State Fair in August, 1939. The minimum award will be 5540. Already, plans have been made to estab- lish a Future Farmer Department in the Genesee County Fair, which will include judging exhibits, chapter contests, dairy herd improvement contests, and a general booth exhibit. As the Oracle goes to press, the horse-shoe tournament is starting along with a softball team in the intra-mural league. Although many desired to enter a iioat in the apple Blossom Festival held at Geneva, it was voted not to do so because of the distance the iioat would have to travel. However, should the festival be held in Batavia another year, the Oakfield Future Farmers will take part. As we close our second year, we have aspirations towards another success- ful year, the third. The Future Farmers. G3 ACTIVITIES Septette The Septette is a new vocal group which was organized this year under the leadership of Miss Schuler. The girls have entertained at several assem- bly programs during the year. They have been blending their voices on Sere- nade by Schubert, When Thru The Night by Franz List, Little Orphan An- nie, Pale Moon, and several other well-known selections. The following girls are members of this organization: Lillian Nyquist Anna Damiani Leola Scott Erma Caton Joyce Domm Rose Madonia Josephine Olmsted Edna Rhodes .... ....................... .... A c companist ......,... Girls' Intramurals and Play Days Besides the regular instructional periods in physical education, the high school girls have been offered a rich program in intramurals and play days. Intramurals are those voluntary after-school recreational activities carried on in competition between classes. The girls have had intramurals in basketball and softball. In basketball, the girls from the sixth grade through the high school seniors were allowed to compete. Two round robin tournaments were played, the juniors emerging victorious after a strenuous battle on the part of all teams. Play days include various schools who meet to play with, rather than compete against, other schools. We have had four play days this year. The schools with whom we have played are: Medina, Elba and Le Roy. The girls in the freshman through the senior years have been given an opportunity to participate in these events. .-.14-., Demonstration This year for the first time a demonstration of the work done in the physi- cal education department was presented by Miss Meadoff and Mr. Bruce. The program consisted mainly of high school pupils taking part in march- ing, Danish gymnastics, and free exercises, games and recreational activities, dancing and stunts. The fifth grade also participated, presenting two Scotch Folk Dances. The students, as well as Miss Meadoif and Mr. Bruce, wish to thank Mr. Williams, Rose Starkweather, Susie Greene, Mrs.Martin, Miss Schuler and the members of the faculty for their splendid cooperation in making this demon- stration possible. 64 ' Q 4 f., w , ZA-. 1 -...

Mr. Bruce, the new coach, introduced a new sys- tem of signals and gave the team additional drill in fundamentals. The opening contest with Amherst saw Oakfield suddenly leap to the front when Reed returned a punt 45 yards for the score. The jubilation aroused by this score was short-lived, for Amherst retaliated by going on to win the game 19 to 7. OakIield's spirits were at low ebb after Akron swamped them 40 to 7, but in the LeRoy game, the gridders showed superb ability and covered them- selves with glory even though they lost the game 19 to 0. Pine Hill intercepted an Oakfield pass in the last minute of play to break a. 7-7 deadlock and win the game 13 to 7. In the lone home game, the eleven came through with 14 to 0 victory, and the next week the players atoned for past mistakes by conquering their arch- rivals, Batavia, in a 19 to 0 contest. There were no serious injuries, and a great team should result next fall, since almost all the regulars are returning.

Then, after losing the thrilling over-time game to Holley, Oakfield cracked, the attack bogged down, and the team lost three of the last four encounters including the play-off game with Holley. Highlights of the season were the 38 to 39 victory over Holley, the 25 to 23 overtime conquest of the taunted LeRoy quintet, and the 27 to 25 extra-period defeat by Holley which marked Oakfield's downfall. On a whole, this season was successful but very disappointing. The Blue and Gold had the championship of the Genesee-Orleans League within its grasp only to falter twice, and finally be routed out in a play-off match with Holley.

YW Freshman Basketball The freshman basketball team was organized again this year under the direction of Mr. Richard Beebe. The team elected officers as follows: Presi- dent, Frederick Stornelli: Vice-president, Amelio Taddeig Secretary, Alfred Vallese. Practices were held in the morning on Monday, Wednesday, and Fri- day of each week. This year the team did not play out-of-town gamesg they engaged in intra-mural competition and in the morning played many games with various other school teams. Since there was a change in state regula- tions, the Freshmen could not play any inter-scholastic contests because they would lose a year of eligibility for high school competition. Last year's freshman players stepped into B team berths and contribut- ed a large measure to Oakfield's success. It is hoped that this year's prospects will carry out the purpose of the club and bolster the B -team strength. Those who took part are as follows: William Bird Merlyn Chamberlain Carmin Corbelli Lawrence Greene Howard Hartley Alvin Hilchey Zane Isenberg Felix Latko John Ludeman Thomas Moore Frank Perozzi Fred Stornelli Amelio Taddei Alfred Vallese ATHLETICS Baseball Oakfield High School is again a member of the Genesee-Orleans County league. The team is bolstered by several veterans from last year's squad and should make a good showing. In Oakfield's two games to date, the fielding has been so poor the pitchers have not received good support. However, Coach Bruce expects this defect to be remedied and looks forward to several victories.
