The alarming increase in the automobile accident rate shows that an effective solution has not yet been discovered, although there have been many attempts. The present law against drunken driving, I believe, is not strong enough to cope with the problems resulting from the repeal of the 18th Amendment. The law, if justly carried out, would do much toward solution. No law, however good it may be, can remedy a situation unless those who are paid to enforce the law and the general populace are in sympathy with it. Every solution tends toward the separation of gas and alcohol. Therefore, to solve the problem one or the other should be eliminated. I believe there is no question in any person’s mind as to which is of the more value. Hence, our problem changes to one of getting rid of liquor by law or popular demand. If a thing is forced upon one he will sooner or later rebel and will do the thing simply because it has been prohibited and not because of any real desire. I believe we have the same problem in attempted liquor control. It is necessary for the people to see the destruction of property and human lives which it causes before they will act on it. It is useless for a small, strong, well-organized group to push a prohibition amendment through. The good that prohibition will do our country and the individuals of our country must be realized and felt by a great majority in order for it to be of any value. If the people of the United States are educated to the physical, mental, and economical disadvantages of alcohol this problem will solve itself. PRINCIPAL G. H. GOOLD—B.S.

However, our hearts are high—’cause we’re Seniors, dignified (?) perhaps a little—anyhow, we are raring to organize and do things, with our new class advisor, Miss Lyman. Our first money making scheme, the Senior Harvest Supper, surpassed all our anticipations— success—decidedly. On the heels of this initial undertaking followed the first Senior musical, ably assisted by the undergraduates and post-grads. We shall always remember old Wysocki and “You Are My Lucky Star.” A lull envelopes us, the first chance to get our breath. Oh, did you say Christmas cards? What salesmanship—ugh—scheming always to get prospects, we selfishly forced the faculty to buy— even went so far as to rig up a particular box at a price to entice Mr. Clarke—and he fell for it. Between the old and the new year, an extra Christmas dance was held. Bake sales again—we would suggest that future Senior classes abolish them—Beans, Beans, and more Beans. A card party with prizes and eats gave us another pleasant evening and memories. Mr. Willis should know! Long before this year, Mr. Goold has been permeating the air with Centralization plus oxygen and nitrogen—we all felt it. So a cafeteria supper materialized to celebrate the above fact. A second breathing spell—Senior rings, invitations, cards, banner, dues, etc., and the day dreams of Our Washington Trip comes to the foreground. The pinnacle of events, our Senior ball—with Field Day thrown in, making a double header of real excitement. We are guests of the Junior class June 11, and we hope they bring lots of food—’cause we can gobble and—well, you’ll know our capacity when eats are available. With class day preparations in the making and graduation ideas about decided—the only thing for us to do is surprise ourselves as well as the faculty and pull through for O. H. S. ----------o-------- Wtiioftf CLASS REPORT During the month of September, 1935, the good ship CORYELL left port with a crew of 23 plus our captain, Mr. Clarke. At the start we were rather short of bunks, so some of the crew promptly “doubled up.” George was appointed chief pilot and with Eleanor as his assistant we have been safely piloted over many troubled waters. Pat started passing her banjo for the trip but as yet she hasn’t had much success. Although we don’t know if Maude and Anna are able to cook, we are willing to trust our stomachs to their tender mercies. Charlotte and Henry were sent out to take soundings off port side. In a few minutes they returned only to say that they could not hear a sound. Helen S., Raymond, Dave, and Jean were sent to scrub decks and a good job they did, too. Our greatest trouble was trying to keep Maurice and Walt in the crow’s nest. (You see, in the crow’s nest, they were seldom heard on deck.) Once we sprung a leak and while Ruth and Bertha were “bailing out,” Helen H. sang lullabies to the fish. To Norma and June we gave the job of making excuses when we accidently ran into something. May 15 and 16 our ship became a show boat and presented the play, “Big-Hearted Herbert.” With Hube as Herbert, the play was a huge success. This June we sailed into port with flying colors and hope our trip next year will be as successful. -------------------------o--------- In September, 1935, the Sophomore class boarded the Black Diamond for their second year of high school life. Some of the members just managed to scramble aboard with a short count as the train left the Freshman station. As we assembled in our car with Conductor Coryell, and president of the road, Fred Kellogg, with his vice president, Mike Wysowski and secretary, Katherine MacDowell and though cheering Ed. Carpenter is the only train man, he appeared to be in the middle of the huddle. Our first stop was for a party at Cain Junction, given by the home-making girls. Our second stop was at Assembly Hill, where the class presented the play, “The Diamond Necklace.” After a ten weeks stop at Summerville, we will board the good ship, “Juniorville,” after an enjoyable and happy year. PAGE 5 The worthy class of ’39 started out on horseback. Thus far only three of our 50 members have found the ground softer than the horse’s back. We have been unable to slow up for entertainment. Jockey Gerald Lattin has conducted us down the race track at a great speed. Our class will endeavor on our good steed ’39 to take the hurdles in this educational steeplechase, as they come up without going down. --------o-------- ALUMNI Here’s a word from Margaret An alumna we all know; Her family grows so very fast As past the years do go. Tis hard for her to decide. Just what to write for us— Because the influenza bug Is a persistent cuss. She takes her pen and starts to write, With Roger by her side; Of the many old and new alumni Who are scattered far and wide. There’s Aline Lattin who lives in Cortland, “Sim and “Hoffie at Cornell; Charles finishing at Colgate, “Steve and “Phin merchandise do sell. Bob and Alice Crane are teachers, Mae and Irma work in the city; While others—maids and bachelors Excite our hearts to pity. Dorothy, Esther and Pauline-Started keeping house—they say, And expect to keep their jobs Without a raise in pay. So Bill Brown and Crane and Barrett Say “Howdy folks to you. While Gordon Strife and R. L. Bales As a scientific stunt; Apply their boots to the rear Of Boyce the “Cornellian runt. Hildy, Iola and Lois May help to print our rhymes, But amateur editors can never dampen Our old 0. H. S. good times. So much for Alumni— We must bid you all adieu; Hats off! to Alma Mater— And to the Central School. --------o-------- CAN YOU IMAGINE Rex Richards running all the way to school? Ellen Lovell causing a lot of noise? Vivian Leonard without her gum? Hubert Letteer without his dog? Doris Leonard without poetry to read? Gerald Lattin with his hair mussed up Jane Hall too busy to help someone? Angeline Wickham with big feet? Miss Lyman without Mrs. Coryell? Edwin Lattin without his cute suspenders Margaret Kimble without her sweet smile? John Jay Carpenter with laryngitis? Henry Williams a misogynist? Mr. Willis being stern and formal? Miss Cain without her bell for order? Our baseball team without Johnny Willett? J. Bulkley and F. Kellogg without petticoat fever? Charlotte H. not cleaning Bob’s white shoes? Relief preachers for depression marriages? --------o-------- GLEE CLUB AND ORCHESTRA The Glee Club and orchestra, under the direction of Miss Mary Lyman, have shown great improvement this year. An increased interest in Glee Club work is shown by the fact that there are 37 members. The Glee Club was presented by Miss Lyman in an Easter program at the Methodist Church. The orchestra appeared publicly for the first time at the Junior play. Although a number of the members of both organizations will be gone next year, Miss Lyman has spent a great deal of time developing the younger members so they will be capable of filling the vacancies. Eloise, George and Clifford, Harold, Helen and Spig La Rue, With Charlie H. and Frances Howell; Are part of Hanlon’s crew. “Shim Travis and his lovely wife Ere to print this line is sent, Deserve especial mention Because of their “blessed event. There are those who ply their trades As Ross, Paul, and Joe and Colie Rounds; While some, like Vanlon and Chuck La Rue Try keepin’ kids within the bounds. To publish names and jobs of all Would be very hard to do; ■-------o------- STUDENT COUNCIL This year, the Student Council was again made an active organization of the school by popular vote of the student body. The following representatives were elected: Senior:—Jane Hall, president; Grace Brink. Junior—David Nordquist, vice president; Charlotte Halpin, secretary. Sophomore— Doris Jeanne Bosold. Luther Erie. Freshmen—John Bulkley. The Council has tried to represent the student body and to serve as a pleasant, effective medium between the pupils and the faculty. Many things have been discussed and acted upon which have benefited the students and the school as a whole. Miss Dana is the faculty advisor. PAGE 6 'Briefly Told F. F. A. NEWS The “Ag.” Club, a really functioning body of the school, since it was organized in 1922, has practically “rebuilt” the school and its equipment. The boys meet once a month for a social good time and to plan the activities which form their yearly program. In 1986, with Walter Kinney, president; Minor Leonard, vice president; and Frederick Wood, secretary and reporter; the club has sold seeds, plants, etc., given an interesting assembly program, held two dances, two pancake suppers, and a rifle match with a neighboring school club. The boys have also entered judging contests at Cornell, Geneva and Syracuse, and have in general been quite a credit to the school. As they live and work together in the club in a true co-operative spirit, these farm boys have wonderful opportunities for much needed social development. COMMUNITY SCHOOL ASSOCIATION The reorganized School Association is headed by a board of directors, including the following members: Mrs. Helen Hanlon, Mrs. Lorraine Dorsey, Mrs. Ruth Wilcox, Mrs. Georgia Carney, and Miss Dana. The board sponsored a membership drive, gaining about 125 members with the prize for the drive going to grades 5 and 6. Many interesting and instructive meetings have been the outcome of the work of this body. Last September, as a branch of the CSA, the Study club was organized by a group of mothers and teachers, who under the supervision of Dr. Wylie, child guidance specialist of Cornell, selected a course in character building for study. The subject selected for next year is “Getting Along With Others.” Meetings next year will be held the first and third Tuesdays of each month, beginning the first Tuesday in October. Success of school and community relations is not assured by the impending new school building, alone. There must be sincere co-operation among parents, teachers and pupils stimulated by mutual interests. JUNIOR AND SENIOR 4-H CLUB The Senior and Junior 4-H club organized the first of the year with the election of the following officers: Katherine Carpenter and Margaret Bulkley—President Judith Underdown and Dorothy Haradon—Vice President Barbara Boyce and Jane Flood—Secretary Marilyn Sherwood—Treasurer Alma Herrick—Reporter Bertha Chaapel and Mary E. Bosold—Song Leader Betty Boyce—Cheer Leader The Senior club’s work has been both varied and interesting under Mrs. Warner’s leadership, while the Junior club has advanced rapidly in their sewing project under Katherine Carpenter’s guidance. -------o-------- Mr. Goold: “When was the revival of learning?” C. Lattin: “Just before exams.” I)II) YOU KNOW THAT —If you took all the molecules in a pint bottle and dumped them out and then started putting them back in at 10,000,000 per second, it would take 40,000,000 years to fill the bottle? —When the sun shines on the moon the temperature is 244 degrees F. above zero and 244 degrees F. below when the sun does not shine on it? On the earth it would have the same range of temperature if we did not have an atmosphere. —If it were not for the nitrogen in our atmosphere our world would burn up? —Light travels 186,337.42 miles per second; e.g., 7.4 times around the world in one second? Radio messages travel at the same speed. It takes messages 1 30 of a second for them to travel between New York City and London. —Most people when thinking, tap the front of their head? This is incorrect, it should be tapped on the very top of the head. This is directly over the cerebrum where the voluntary thought takes place. —The same side of the moon is always turned toward us? We never see the other side. —The latitude of Odessa is 42° and 15' north; the longtitude is 76° and 45' west? —Experts claim that they can take one pound of liquid molten glass and spin it into a thread that will reach around the earth—a thread 1 20 as thick as a human hair and smaller than silk, though much stronger? Glass hats, scarfs, purses, sweaters, draperies, upholstery, carpets, hotel awnings, and bathing suits (colored glass) dresses, bricks, insulation material, razor blades, and roads indicate the future of glass. —The “infra-red” ray heat detector can detect a man through a mile of heavy fog by the heat from his body? —That water, one of fire’s deadliest enemies, is given off when fire burns. Fred C.: “Well, son, do you think it will rain today?” Ray: “Dad, I would say that if the barometer precipitates, if the temperature becomes compatible, if the hygrometer indicates that the air is nearly 100% saturated, and if the anometer indicates sufficiently propitious air motion, it will rain.” Fred C.: “You gave some mighty big reasons, son, but if it was me, I would say that if ma’s teakettle boiled dry, if there was a ring around the sun, if there is no dew, if my lumbago ached, and if the wind is strong enough so we can smell the neighbor’s pig pen—why then I reckon we have a chance for a shower. —Many people have flown in an airplane, but few can explain why the plane can stay up. The wings of the airplane have to be shaped just right so that a partial vacuum is formed and the atmospheric pressure holds the plane up. Reporters: Ray Campbell, Bill Rundle PAGE 7 WHY ATHLETICS The world is moving rapidly and every move means a change. The chief a m of schools today is to equip their young people to live in this rapidly chang;ng world. It tries to prepare them for a world of keen competition as well as a world of increasing co-operation for mutual benefits. To stand competition it takes a healthy body and an alert mind. To properly co-operate with other individuals one must be able to give and take, one must be congenial, and one must possess the principles of sportsmanship in the art of living. It is the aim of those in charge of school athletics to do everything within their power to develop boys and gii ls along these lines. We know that actual contact with other humans better fits us to understand them. Where, then, can we better learn to work with others than on the athletic field? It is here one learns that a single individual is not the only unit of strength, but that teamwork co-operation of individuals does produce power and success which results in a mutual profit for all. Here under proper supervision and by observing rules of the game is developed the healthy body, alert mind and clean habits that are so essential in life. M. ELIZABETH MOORE Girls’ Basketball Track WAYNE E. WILLIS Soccer W. WALLACE CLARKE Boys’ Basketball Baseball PAGE 8 SOCCER Soccer is the first sport given consideration in the fall after pleasant summer vacations. That may be one of the reasons why Odessa has had fine soccer teams for the last few years. This year the material was ample and the prospects bright. Ultimately the team placed second in the league after many very close games. During the season, Odessa scored a total of 12 points to the opponents 9. The men who represented their school sufficiently to earn letters were: M. Lovell, Capt. E. and J. Lovell, N. Welty, T. and H. Leteer, M. Hayes, A. VanLone, R. Halpin, L. and H. Williams, J. and D. Nordquist, R. MacDowell, C. Lattin. Several younger men played enough to gain a little experience. They were: G. Lattin, R. Smith, J. Bulkley, E. Taylor, L. Erie, F. Kellogg. ROYS’ BASKETBALL Post-Grads Position Under-Grads E. Lovell Capt. RF G. Lattin L. Williams LF M. Wysowski J. Lovell C J. Bulkley T. Leteer RG F. Kellogg M. Lovell LG H. Williams Substitutes: R. Smith, F. Wysovvski Played in the all-star game at Interlaken. At the first practice about 25 aspiring candidates reported. From this group the above individuals were chosen to represent the high school in the interscholastic games. The experience of the post-grads proved them to be superior to the under-grads at the beginning of the season. However, as the season progressed the individual points scored showed the under-grads to be on par with the post-grads. In the games the teams played the quarters alternately. Although the number of victories did not balance the defeats, there has been a decided improvement of the team over last year. This year there were some exciting games and in the 1936-’37 season the fans should expect to see many more equally exciting games. GIRLS’ BASKETBALL Myrtle Jones Iola Ashley Charlotte Halpin Judith Underdown Lucile Wood Maude Neigly Kathryn Rundle Anna McGuire Katherine Carpenter Eleanor Hausaman Lucille Durfey Arleen Wood At the beginning of the season, Lucile Wood was elected captain; Iola Ashley, manager; and Arleen Wood, assistant manager. Lucile Wood was high scorer with Myrtle as a runner up. At the end of a most successful season the team stood second in the league. Although it has been four years since the girls have had a championship team, they are very proud to have been awarded the sportsmanship banner for the last three consecutive seasons. INTRAMURAL BASKETBALL 7th and 8th Grades Frosh A Frosh B Sophs Juniors Seniors Aside from coaching the varsity team, Mr. Clarke also inaugurated, for the first time in Odessa, intra- mural basketball to take care of some of the largo number of candidates who were not able or not eligible to enter varsity competition. The Frosh A finally emerged battle-scarred but victorious with the Sophs as runner-up. Everybody involved had a lot of fun and several of the boy3 received background necessary for varsity competition. It is hoped the intramural program will be carried on in the future.

Taylor The first opponent, Ovid, had not lost a league game during the past two years. Her record remained intact. Odessa then dropped one to the T-Burg jinx, took one from Van Ettan, w'ere set back by Romulus and swamped the Interlaken outfit 22-9. Then the Ovid champions came here for a return game and an inspired Odessa smashed their winning streak by setting them back 1-0. The almost constant possibility of a score kept spectators and players on their metal and those who saw' the game said it was the best they ever witnessed. An orchid to the boys for defeating Ovid ! For the remainder of the season the team defeated Romulus in the return of the game; lost to T-Burg; defeated Interlaken again and wound up the season by defeating Van Ettan, which makes a percentage of .666. The boys enjoyed a good season and anticipate a successful one next year. TRACK May 29 was “red letter” day for our track enthusiasts. Through the efforts of Miss Moore, we produced the runner up team of the meet. We w'ere defeated by the small score of 26-18. 0. H. S. almost outclassing the T-Burg team on their own stampin’ ground. Odessa placed in the following events: 100-yd. dash, third; 880, first; high jump, second; medley relay, second; baseball throw’, first. The full credit of the meet should be given to David Nordquist, Odessa’s outstanding track man. He made himself eligible to enter the interscholastic meet at Cornell, Saturday, June 6. David’s success has been the result of clean living, tenacity, training, intestinal fortitude, individual care, and determination to succeed. Let this be an example, Odessa athletes! ---------o--------- Worry over the welfare of the boys’ baseball suits may have prompted Mr. Willis to remark during the Romulus baseball game, “Watch ’em or they’ll steal the pants off ya!” ---------o--------- Elenora, after studying “peace” in history and seeing a dog fight: “Now boys, don’t fight. Can’t you settle it in the World Court?” PAGE 9 Another Calamity One afternoon whe it was very hot Our dear little boy friend, found a cool spot: He sat on the fence and thought he was cute, When all at once he lot out a “hoot.” Everyone looked to see the boy fall, Yes—there was dear Rexford—cool fence and all. Did all of him fall? Not the least chance— The fence had held on to a part of his pants! Our Seniors Their play is nearly over— The last act’s nearly done, Soon the curtain of high school days Will fall on every one. They’ve played their part so gallantly, That now we all believe— That some tribute is due them Ere the curtain falls—they leave. So Seniors, here are wishes For the best of all success. We hope that in the game of life Your lot is happiness. H. Lewis or Bill He gets here ’fore the teachers do And unlocks all the doors, While most of ’em is fast asleep, He starts his round of chores. He rings the bell, he winds the clock, He’s on the jump from morn ’til night, Keepin’ track of kids an’ things An’ stopping now an’ then a fight.. Better than 60 years ago Bill started school here when the laboratory, Senior, Junior, and eighth grade rooms were the ground floor. According to Bill he went to school now and then a day until he was 16 Bill then tried a variety of occupations until he fell through a snow-covered transom about 35 feet above the floor in the old mill. This resulted in a broken hip which never healed correctly. Since them Bill, his third leg, and variety of pipes, have become an institution at the school. Every kid that ever went to school in Odessa knows, likes, and will always remember Bill Lunger. Mrs. Coryell: “How far from the ground should a skirt be?” E. Davis: “A little over two feet.” Miss Dana: “What did the poet mean by the mewing bird?” Mil. Rhodes: “It must have been a cat bird.” R. Halpin: “Do you know what the second quintuplet said to the first?” M. Hayes: “Naw, what?” R. Halpin: “‘Don’t look now—but I think we’re being followed.’ ” Maude: “Why does Anna call her boy friend a sugar daddy?” Myrtle: “Because he is a crystallized sap!” Miss Lyman: “I have visited schools where the students could pass to assembly without a word.” Ed Kayder: “Yes, in a school for the deaf and dumb.” Miss Moore: “This business depression is something fierce. It’s getting so you can’t even chisel off the boys any more.” Miss Cain: “What kind of a baby crib would you have?” M. Vanzile: “A high one, so I can hear baby when he falls from it.” And still they gazed and still the wonder grew, That one small head could carry all she knew.
