Of her lakes, her hills, her vales: Of her forests, of her gorges And her miles of silvery trails. I would tell of snows of winter, High piles, drifts of beauty rare: Of the hoarfrost in the hilltops, When the Storm-king rules the air. Of the beauties of the springtime, Rushing waters, starlight nights: Wildwood flowers, and scent of furrows, Migrant 'birds' returning Hight. RUTH LOVE CAYWOOD 'yafzeaaafzd This is the story of Schuyler County, one of the smallest counties of New York State, both in area and population. Its three hundred fifty-two square miles are divided into the following towns: Tyrone, Reading, Orange, Dix, Montour, Hector, Cayuta and Catharine, in which our school is located. It has been called the S 't l d ' ' ' wi zer an of America, because of its hills, waterfalls, lakes and fertile valleys. Historically, it has played an important role, In 1779, the Hrst white men, members of General SulliVan's Expeditionary Force. marched through this area to put an end to the Indian menace. These soldiers did not forget the fertile fields, the beautiful lakes and so it was that they later returned to settle here where fish and game were in abundance. This year, 1954, Schuyler County celebrates its Centennial, It was on April 17, 1854 that our county came into being with the county seat at Havana fnow Montour Fallsj. ln 1867 the county seat was relocated in Vlatkins. thus ending years of political strife. Today, one finds that agriculture is still one of its leading industries Alon b th 'd ' g o si es of Seneca Lake we find grape vineyards and orchards. Around Qdessa, The Little City on the Hill, we find a very prosperous poultry bus- iness. In other, parts of the county are farmers who raise cattle a d h Add'- n s eep. 1 tional industries within the county are two salt plants: one a branch of the Internatio al S l C n a t ompany, and the other The Watkins Salt Company. ln Montour Falls is located the Shepard-Niles Crane 8 Hoist Corporation This corporation is one of the largest manufacturers of cranes and h ' ' h oists in t e country. It provides employment for Montour Falls and adjoining areas. In Odessa, w fi d l - ' ' e n a arge and ever expanding lumber business - Cotton-Hanlon. Schuyler County has been called The Switzerland of A ' S merica, eneca Lake, the largest and the depst of the Finger Lakes, is thirty-six miles long and fro t fi ' ' ' ' ' m Wo to ve miles wide. Along its lovely shores, on either side, are grape vineyards and orchards, which are at their loveliest in the springtime. What follower of Isaac Walton has not heard of the famed Cathari C k d ' ne ree an its famous Rainbow trout? The opening day of trout season each year brings thousand f l ' ' ' ' s o ang ers to this creek and lake, Seneca Lake is also ideal for swima ming and sailing. Every summer Watkins Glen welcomes the many tourists, who come to view the famous Watkins Glen This was first o ened t t ' . p o ourists in 1863. ln 1911, it became the Watkins Glen State Fark. This is the hiker's paradise. Cam ers a d ' ' l p n picnic overs find this a perfect spot. Septemberf School Days, soon followed by the famous Watkins Glen International Grand Prix Road Race of America. This race for its first Eve years was held partl in th y e streets of the village. Last year it was held outside the village. for greater safety on a new course.

Looking backward, we find that Odessa's first school was built in 1825. Schools of this period were primitive log structures, Only a few students were able to take advantage of their educational opportunities. The students followed paths or trails to attend classes. These early schools were heated by stoves, set up in the middle of the room. Students sat about this room on benches. The school-lboy of this era quenched his thirst at the dipper and pail fountain, The year 1838 found a new school built on the brow of Baptist Church Hill. In this school one might hear the spirited debates of the Odessa Lyceum. In 1877, a third building, a new two-room schoolhouse with primary and advanced grades, was erected, This school occupied part of the site on which our present school is located. Two teachers took charge of the school's seventy- six pupils. The following tells about teacher qualifications of these early days: Acquirements of the teachers are rigorously investigated before they are engaged to discipline the minds of the youth for the great life struggle. the basis of which lives in the period of school-day life. By 1854, the first state educational board in the Nation, the Board of Regents, was already one hundred years old. Today this Board is still in exis- tence and is rated as the most powerful of all state educational boards. In 1854, the State Department of Public Instruction was established. 1867 saw the passage of the free school law. 1904 saw the merging of the Board of Regents and the State Department of Public Instruction into the State Education De- partment, headed by the Board of Regents. The Commissioner of Education holds the top executive office of this department. In 1906, due to increased enrollment it was necessary to enlarge the 1877 building. This was accomplished by raising the entire building and adding three rooms beneath it. Four years later Odessa's school became a Union school with a two-year high. By 1912, Odessa was a four-year high school. Odessa's first graduation took place in 1911. This class had five members, one boy and four girls. The years sped by! the United States entered a war and came out victorious. In 1938, a big change took place - the students of Odessa Central moved into their new modern building! Ten years later an addition had to be added, be- cause of the ever-growing student enrollment. 1954 finds the student enrollment of our school at a new high of eight hundred eighty-seven pupils with forty-one teachers. Our school district covers an area of one hundred twen miles. Our fifteen buses travel a total of five hundred miles daily, transporting students to and from school. ty-five square 5 5' V .Q 'xslt A ,.A, 3' JF '52 ,0, ,, W W faw 6 W gf dw ff Z NX A I ' ff f I 1 Z , jf, EFTED Mffffpfyfw YHA?

In addition to the academic subjects which were given in the early schools, we now have the following departments: industrial arts, agriculture, music, art, guidance, health. physical education and homemaking. Our Adult Education program offers courses in ceramics, oil painting, general law, welding, farm and home shop, orchestra, block printing, drum and bugle class, and driver training. Two diplomas are awarded at Commencement: the first is the local school di- ploma, which is given to students completing sixteen units of approved courses. The second is the State Regents Diploma, which is given to those who have completed sixteen units of required regents work and have a major sequence. Student Council with representatives from all classes gives students an op- portunity to develop attitudes of democracy. The audio-visual program with its movies, slides, iilmstrips, tape recorder, opaque projector, supplements classroom teaching. Educational Held trips have also given our students more knowledge. In the New York State Scholarship program, Schuyler County receives ten scholarships. This program has helped many of our graduates to continue their education beyond the high school level. 8 ff '85 MQ2' 3,0 ax+':J :H sA3H ADMINISTRATION WILLIAM ToDD Guidance Physics and Biology Honor Society Adviser Student Council Adviser IRVING D.

They selected the following as their leaders: Florence Mosher, president: Betty Lou Smith, vice-president: William Lattin, secretary: Jerry Burris and Helen Woodford, treasurers. Mr. Klein and Mr, Todd were on hand to give them advice. As compensation for the duties given the Fresh- men on initiation day, the Seniors entertained these fledglings at a Freshmen lnitiation Dance. A Freshman Pow-Wow ushered in the first at- tempt at raising money for the future Senior trip. The students that year were saddened by the ac- cidental death of a classmate, Mary Swan. June saw these budding Freshmen join ranks with the Sophomores at a picnic at Eldridge Fark. Beginning to branch, this class of '54, now Sophomores, began their school year by selecting Darlene Williams as president: l-larry Meyer, vice- president: Betty Lou Smith, secretary and Helen Woodford, treasurer, This year, Mrs. Wilson and Miss Beck were their helpful prodders. Instead of holding a Sophomore Dance, they decided to try their luck at raising money with a skating party. This idea proved itself a worthy one by netting a large profit. Again there was a picnic at Eldridge Park, which ended the activities of this schoolsyear. Now they were Juniors, As new and better knowledge was grafted into the minds of this class, Edward Dunn was chosen as the head of the class. Larry Ward was now vice-president, Flor- ence Mosher was secretary and Barbara McCarty was chosen to handle the financial affairs. Miss Wade took over the difficult task of advising this class. Selling soft drinks at P.T.A., skating parties, holding two profitable bake sales, selling candy after the Senior trip were some of the activities of this enterprising class. The very entertaining You Can't Take It with You, directed by Mrs. Wilson was presented. Throughout this year the Juniors were eager to earn money for that Senior trip. Junior rings with the traditional Queen Catharine emblem linally arrived. With their eyes always glued to the financial end of affairs, the Juniors decided to have a St, Patrick's Day Dance instead of the traditional Junior Prom. To round out this activity-filled year, the Jun- iors entertained the Seniors on a picnic at Enfield Cilen. Seniors, finally! The Class of '54, now prac- tically full grown, elected Betty Lou Smith, Larry Ward, Nancy VanBuskirk and Barbara McCarty as president, vice-president, secretary and treas- urer, respectively, The difficult task of advising this class was given to Mr. Dolan this year. To augment their funds the Seniors sold stationery, Christmas cards, magazines and candy. The Sen- ior play under the capable direction of Mr, Dolan, proved to be a great success. Finally the long- awaited Senior trip became a reality - New York. Everyone had a wonderful time! May 6 - surprise! The Seniors honored Mr. Dolan with an unexpected birthday party. Scholarship winners were Jackie Plate, Betty Lou Smith, Virginia Rumsey, Dick Peterson and Oranell Brown. Graduation - a breathtaking and tearful mo- ment this now full grown, knowledge-filled class took its leave of the Odessa Central halls. So now it was proven that Large streams from little fountains flow, tall oaks from little acorns grow. 4,44 q Va f 4 .J 'ff 1, I, P' A , . , 4 ,ja ,,' A If I f In f ',i'vfil' -il I ,f 1,5 A, f '47 'if'Ifi- if J 1 .

Today we are living in an age of clubs. Every community has a great many clubs. ln Odessa we find social, religious, fraternal, service, recreational, profes- sional and educational clubs. Clubs also play an important part in the lives of our students. Students ind that club participation gives them an opportunity to broaden their interests. The club with its informality makes learning more enjoyable. Eighth periods are set aside for these activities in our school. Students inter- ested in journalism may become staff members of the school newspaper or the yearbook. The Junior-Senior Forum is an easy way to keep abreast of the times. This club gives students a chance to debate, For those would-be actors and actresses the Dramatics' Club is a must. The National Honor Society, a new organization in Odessa Central. gives recogni- tion to students who excel in scholarship and leadership. Boys' and Girls' State offer excellent opportunities of studying local and state government. Student Council helps students find a standard of conduct for themselves. In the clubs, students may develop leadership, initiative: they learn to get along together, and to accept responsibilities. Here they may learn the importance of honesty and loyalty. Clubs can teach good citizenship in a very natural way, 26 f,-.1'.',r.',f-'za.::.f-:-fs: -.-:g::-:::g- .3153--gn-'f -1 , ::1:':5KfpI-2f:11 Ji.'f- -f:2::fff:g:EF-15:f512ifl'22'f-Qzisgz', -'.-r::':1: 151-'-3,-'fir-. , ak-'-7.24 2155 :mag 'f :5'-rf:3-,r5.v:if::1-II-'riii-l4'.i'f:7:'-5-, '1 'affix -3:.-P:5- - - 1 -xp: -1-'wtl-25 nz.:--'-9? :. .:4f+' ,:1-.-- ::.-.::: :-:-g,'.:-, ..3, 11 1- '::g V I 'Sin.?1:7i'i.?'-Jiri :'!i :f1Ef7:'i 3 2'-.'i1f:9J if-'.'-??:711:75'2, ' . atrial? 1'.1:'.11E-'Fit-1 - K-I-Za'-' ' 'P ' i75'1PZ I:-?

The new gymnasium can be divided so that boys' and girls' classes are held simultaneously. Ample grounds make it possible to have modern playground equipment for all students. The school's line tennis courts are used for both instructional and recreational purposes. Six-man football began in Schuyler County in the fall of 1938, with three teamsRomulus, Ovid and Odessa. Their first game was played at Odessa. Odessa enjoyed an undefeated season. Football was first introduced into our country from Cmreat Britain in colon- ial days. However, for more than a century, it remained an unorganized and informal game. Football, as we know it, came about as the result of an amusing incident which happened in 1823 at Rugby, a boys' school in England. The score was tied, evening was drawing near in a football game between two Rugby classes. A student named Ellis 'iwith a line disregard for the rules of football as played in his time took the ball in his arms and ran with it across the goal line, Of course, the score was not allowed, However, Ellis became famous and Rugby football, the predecessor of American football, came into being! The old die-hards, who still maintained that football should 'be played by kicking the ball, met in London. Their game was known thereafter as Assof ciation football. A'Soccer was a jumbled abbreviation of the association, Baseball is America's National sport. Some people believe that Abner Doubleday invented the modern game at Cooperstown, New York, in l839. Others believe that it is a much older game. George Washington's men played it at Valley Forge in l778. Baseball went to the Civil War. Here, between battles, Union Forces taught the Confederates how to play it. A standard set of rules for baseball was drawn up in l8-42 by the Knickerbocker Baseball Club of New York, Basketball is an American game! It began because of a class of incorrig- ibles! A physical education instructor, Dr. James Naismith, was asked to produce a game which would keep Springfield, Mass., students interested and out of trouble during the winter months. By 1897, the five-man team was settled upon. 40 'fl . Q X 1 ' I ,. .x,x Q - -- ': S- f, . t ':.ff., . 1 . '-at-.l Q A , . 1 9, -- . ' 4 ' 1 ' 1 f - 1 X, I . 5 .
