The Mohawks, a tribe of the Iroquois nation, owned all the land from the St. Lawrence River to Cooperstown. Along the banks of the Susquehanna lived the tribe which gave its name to that river. The name Oneonta itself is of Indian origin, and some take it to mean where it is stony. Another old Indian name is Otsego, The most generally accepted meaning is place of rock, after the boulder which lies off-shore in Otsego Lake at the source of the Susquehanna River. Although the Indians had no written language. so that exact translation is difficult, Susquehanna was supposed to mean Long Wind- ing Waters. Schenevus was probably the place where corn was hoed early, so named because the soil is warmer there in the spring than in the hills. There is an ancient Indian legend which states that it was in Manaho Gorge at Schenevus that Oneonta, beautiful daughter of the blind chieftain, Schenva, plunged to her death alter her father refused her hand in marriage to a young Delaware brave. Not far above the present site of Oneonta, it is said, .James Fenimore Cooper sat beneath the old covered bridge which spanned the Susquehanna and wrote parts of his famous Indian tales which immortalized the Mohicans, an Algonquin tribe. Before the Revolutionary War the territory surrounding Oneonta was the scene of many conflicts between different Indian tribes who desired it. The Delawares, who lived along the Delaware River, had possessed the upper Susquehanna River from time immemorial. However, long before the Revolution the Tuscaroras, warriors from Virginia, came up the Susquehanna from Chesapeake Bay and claimed the land as hunting ground. From that time until the beginning of the Revolution, Oneonta and its vicinity were the scene of one conflict after another, which finally ended in favor of the invading Tuscaroras. Soon afterwards this territory was held by the Six Nations. Large Indian villages were located within the boundaries of the town of Oneonta. At the mouth of the Charlotte Creek stood Adaquatingie. and Ahtigua was located at the mouth of Otego Creek. Both villages were apparently abandoned before the war of Independence. To the east of Oneonta, where Schenevus Creek ioins the Susque- hanna, stood the Indian village, Tiondadon. In I779 General CIinton's army swept down the valley from Otsego Lake to ioin General Sullivan to the west. On the way, according to various accounts, they laid waste all remaining Indian villages and homes. It is told as an old tradition that the Indians were so terrified by the Susquehanna's diminishing waters, caused by CIinton's damming up the river, that they fled from the valley, believing that the Great Spirit had turned His wrath upon them. After the passing of the army, the Indians never again made any permanent homes in this vicinity. Scattered members of the Tuscaroras and Oneidas put up temporary Ionghouses here and there, and made a living from the forests and streams. Finally, they were all removed to Oneida. An old Indian trail ran westward from the Schoharie Fort, followed the Schenevus Creek to its mouth, then crossed the Susquehanna and winding along the northern bank, M3414 1 Admini 5'Yr'o'YiQh ADMINISTRATION President of the University and Commissioner ot Education FRANK P.

It then con- tinued along the south side of the bank toward Chemung and the fort at Oswego. Oneonta's first white settlers were of German stock. They came here from the older settlements along the Mohawk Valley. These German settlers were persevering and patient. After they had felled trees and made homes for themselves, they began to till the soil. Slowly but surely these early settlers made a clearing in the wilderness, ancl Oneonta became a hamlet. Log huts replaced Indian homes. Fields of grain supplanted trees. The white man displaced the Indian. From these humble begin- nings, Oneonta has grown into the city we know today. By I829 the hamlet of Oneonta had made a start towards being an industrial center. There were two stores and two distilleriesl Oneonta was incorporated as a village in I848. In I853 there was talk of con- structing a railroad to Oneonta. This was to be the Albany and Susquehanna road. I-lowever, there was a long delay, so that it was the summer of I865 before the road reached the town. I870 saw the first railroad shops located here. The Albany and Susquehanna railroad was leased to the Delaware and Hudson line for ninety-nine years, and it was finally merged with that system. During these early days, what of other industries in Oneonta? Six years before it became a village, Oneonta printed its first newspaper, the Gazette. Its career was brief. Nearly ten years later, in I853, the Oneonta I-lerald was first printed. It took much effort to make this a success, but Oneonta was growing and the need for a news- paper was greater than before. In I887 a daily paper, the Oneonta Daily Local, ap- peared. This was a four-page publication which printed household hints, recipes, items of local interest, and goings-on in the legislature. Three years later the Oneonta Daily Star began with the late Mr. I-larry W. Lee as its editor. Later, the Ulster and Delaware and the Otsego and Herkimer railroads had reached Oneonta also, and Oneonta became a railroad center. A chair factory was in operation here, and plans were made to start a knitting factory. Residents specu- lated much as to whether or not Oneonta would become a city. Then occurred the important event that decided Oneonta's fate. In May, I887, Assemblyman Frank Arnold, Republican, introduced a bill in the legislature for the building of a normal school at Oneonta. Unadilla and other towns violently opposed the bill. Oneonta Democrats believed that failure of the bill would prove detrimental to their party in Oneonta. Mr. Arnold was confident that the bill would be passed, and work on the building be started in the summer. During the debate on the bill Senator Smith proposed the addition of an academic department to the normal school, which should admit only residents of Oneonta who would pay tuition, or others students admitted by the superintendent of public instruction. A dramatic debate concerning the academic department followed. It was prophesied that a breakdown of the entire normal school system would result from the introduction of an academic department. And the debate over the location of the school became more heated. Mr. Arnold was determined to have it at Oneonta. Other legislators W 4...

CL-5 5 VEN though it seems as if we have iust started our educational career, our last year oi Oneonta Normal School liie will soon be here. Precedent was changed this year when we started the social events instead oi the Freshmen. The first big dance of the year was our Junior Prom. 'Tis said by those who know that it was one ot the most successful dances in some time. Billy Roud's orchestra furnished Hincomparableu music. The gymnasium was most attractively decorated with hundreds ol pine boughs. blue sky, and twinkling stars. Palms, ferns, and a huge basket ol chrysanthemums formed a background tor the receiving line. Delicate little blue flowers with green vines, trailed over a white trellis on the stairs and around the orchestra. Junior assembly took place in the form ol an amateur hour, with Bart Williams as the Maior. Elizabeth Ainslie, Stuart Nye and Dora Plotnik, Vivian Brownell, and Karl Brooks, a quartet which got the gong, furnished the entertainment.

The officers for the year were President, Robert Clark: Vice-President, Janet Deck: Secretary, Marian Brush, and Treasurer, Elizabeth Ainslee. The Immigration Party given in our honor by the recreational leadership class will certainly stay in our fondest memories. Can we ever forget the Nelson sisters, Miss Hodgdon, and Miss Thornson as immigrants, or the fun we had with Dr. and Mrs. Bruce? Two-thirds of our Normal School Days are over. We shall be glad to be Sen- iors, but we shall be very sorry when we are through. Officers tor our senior year have been elected. Stuart Nye is our president, with Marjory Jones, Vice-President: Janet Declc, Secretary, and Marian Brush, Treasurer. We feel sure that they will lead our class further along the road to success. 2 gk tgggj-5151, , if 'S i JUNIOR OFFICERS Presidenr - - Roberf Uark Vice Presidenf - - - Janeffe Deck Secretary - - - Marion Brush Treasurer - Elizabeth Ainslee JUNICDR CLASS CCDMMITTEES Junior Chapel Dorothy Weed Amateur Program lsabelle Sargalis Betty Ainslee Arthur Jones Vivian Brownell Dora Plotniclf Stuart Nye Carl Broolcs Barton Williams Junior Prom Richard Lalor: General Chairman Stuart Nye: Music Invitations: Dorothy l-lill Decorations: Elizabeth Ainslee Program: Jacqueline Jones Ushers: Janette Deck Poll and Auditing Committee Chairman: Alice Lynch Elizabeth Eldrich Kenneth Sickler Dorothy Van Vallcenburq Dorothy Weed Elizabeth Barber v , ' Q ' i ' V W 1 K , V Y ., ,xy if ,J Q I ' iid :T I r Xi ii f Hariri i X i ,, ,,i x , 'E I Q i 4 . 5 . ,x'7l Nw xr' ' xx 5, Q i it 'iQ,i9. ii NN ffl LA ' Y, Dales, L.aPlante, Stalker, Kour , Matt s W d D K. y e on, oo ruff, Bensel, Orcutt, Murphy, Brown, Lowery, Stedman, Bennett, Close, Miller, Wait, Pectal, f Mowers, Pratt, Spencer, Jackson, Nolan, Eakely, Young, Ives, Wessell, .

Melrose Hall When our officers were elected, tthe Freshman class set out to show its ability. Under the guidance of Miss Jorgensen we displayed considerable musical ability by composing some original class songs. From the selections offered two were chosen- A ln the Foothills of the Catskills, which was done by Section B' and There's a Grand Old Normal School, which was composed by Charles Aspinwall. We are proud of our original class songs. From time to time Freshmen have participated in assembly programs. We also gave two special programs. After studying Stephen Foster, we rendered an hours recital of his songs and gave briefgbiographical sketches of his life.

There is now a mailing list of 6,800 graduates, which, however, does not constitute the total number of graduates from this school, because contacts between the association and alumni are often broken. To aid the association in keep- ing in touch with all of the graduates, it has helped organize various district organiza- tions or chapters. These chapters hold annual reunions, some in the spring and some in the tall. They advance the interests and influence of the school by their nearness to various parts of the state, and their meetings are made richer by the personal at- tendance of some faculty members at each reunion. There are now eight of these chapters: Oneonta, .New York City, Mid-Hudson, Schenectady, Amsterdam, Utica, Binghamton, and Rochester. The last two were organized in I934 and I935 respec- tively. The purpose of the Alumni Association is to advance the interest, influence, and efficiency of the school: to encourage the establishment of alumni district associations: to keep alumni in sympathetic and encouraging relations to undergraduate activities: and to assist financially and to further the efficiency of the service of the Percy I. Bugbee Scholarship Fund. There is a business meeting of the association on the last Saturday in May to elect officers and to transact other business. The present officers are: President s.. ..,. ,,,,,,.,,,,s , Mr. Owen C. Becker Vice-President . HW, .-- Miss Jessica Alden Secretary-Treasurer .. -. . ,,,,s,.,.,,. Miss Dorothy Harris ln the spring, also, the association sends to the alumni on the mailing list a News Letter which contains the news of the school and association meetings. Coin cards are inclosed by which the alumni can send back their twenty-five cent contributions and information which also enables the association to keep in touch with them. These con- tributions are the only means which the association has for carrying on its activities. This association has given hundreds of dollars to the Percy l. Bugbee Scholarship Fund. The titth week of the I935 Summer Session was Old Home Week when alumni came back to visit the school and renew acquaintances with their friends at social affairs which were held every afternoon. A similar gathering is to be held at the I936 Summer Session. ln all these ways our Alumni Association has done much to spread the influence ofthe school throughout the state, doing its part in giving Oneonta Normal School its present high rank in teacher education in the state. fzgcmizafiom, ONEONTA Cityof the Hills A HISTORY OF ONEONTA-continued were iust as determined to have it at Franklin, Sidney, Delhi, or anywhere but in Oneonta. On May 7 the bill came before Governor I-lill. The Daily Local reported that business men were brim full of enthusiasm over the normal school. On May I8 the Local bore this headline HURRAH. Governor Hill had signed the normal school bill! This meant that Oneonta would one day surely be a city. This day is known as Oneonta's Big Day. To quote from the Daily Local of May I9, I887: The pent up enthusiasm occasioned by the announcement yesterday afternoon that the Normal School bill had been signed, gave itself full vent last night. In the early part of the evening, fire crackers and Roman candles began to illuminate and enliven our streets, which soon became crowded with people. Later, bonfires were started, extending the length of Main Street ,... The heat of the fire became so intense in front of Mr. Henry Saunders' store as to crack two of his front window glasses and blister the paint. . . . Every . . . boy had a horn and produced a wild concert of hideous toots. Our citizens for the most part took it good naturedly, remembering that a Normal School was not thrown in our laps every day. When the Normal School became a fact, the question arose as to where the school should be. Other normal schools of the state owned at least five acres. There were several offers of land made as a site for the school. Messrs. Morris, Westcott, Reynolds, Yager, and Ford made up a committee to report available sites. Finally, it was decided to accept Mr. Delos Yager's offer of a six-acre circular plot at the head of Maple Street. The building which was erected was the most handsome in Oneonta. On September 4, I889, the building was formally dedicated. This was One- onta's greatest day. A few days later the first classes met. Dr. James M. Milne was the first principal. For the first year or two there were few graduates. These were all transfers from other schools. The freshmen were district school graduates who sought to combine high school and teacher training work in a single normal course. The classics were taught, French and German, history, science, mathematics, literature, and a little psychology, together with a bit of practice teaching. There were few methods courses, and the emphasis was on scholastic work. This was the beginning of the gay nineties. What could the freshman of those days wear on Deference Day to appear more ridiculous than usual? In February, I894, the Normal School building burned. All records were lost, as well as the Willard Yager collection of Indian relics from the region of the upper Sus- quehanna. Classes were moved to the Armory and other buildings around Oneonta. No time was lost. Our present building was rushed to completion, so that it was ready for use in October, I895. This building is Romanesque, inspired by some of the French chateaux. Dr. Percy I. Bugbee succeeded Dr. Milne as principal in I898. He held this po- sition until June, I933. On his staff were Miss Florence M. Matteson, Mr. Arthur M.

These members elect the Student League Board which acts in an executive and iudiciary capacity. The Board, in turn, appoints the different committees for the ad' rninistration of specific functions. The social functions of the Student League Board consisted of the Student League dances which were distributed throughout the year: the Get-Acquainted Party: a Freshman Rodeog and an Immigration Party for the purpose of helping students to be- come better acquainted with the members of other classes in the school. Many of the evening entertainments which the Student League Board has previously sponsored l h b n have been transferred to chapel-program fund. These chape programs ave ee held in the Bugbee School Music Room due to the redecoration of the Normal audi- torium. The Student League Board was represented on this chapel program com- mittee by its president, Miss .lean B. Steele. Oneonta Normal School was represented at the annual Eastern States Conference in New York City. All State Normal Schools and Teachers Colleges north of the Po- tomac and east of the Ohio are represented by students and faculty delegates. Our delegates were accompanied by the dean, Miss Katharine Tobey. At the conference our school led in a discussion of School Publications. Pugh, Bennett, Shaw.

Its members have been fully cooperative and have taken the necessary interest to warrant a successful council. Four regular meet- ings were held, two of which dealt with the setting of dates for class activities in school affairs, such as the formal dances, assemblies, etc. There were several special meet- ings which were concerned with vacant offices Ieft in the ranlcs of the class officers clue to the point system. The Council is indebted to its faculty adviser, the Dean of Women, Miss Tobey. Her services were many and her cooperation and advice Icept the organization at its successful pealc. The Council includes the officers of the Senior Class, the President and Treasurer of the Junior and Freshman classes, the class representatives, and the faculty adviser.

The lnter-Fraternal Council is fortunate in having Dr. Sanford to act as faculty adviser. We have welcomed the new fraternity, Phi Lambda Chi, into our midst. They have a house and are making fine progress. Rushing took place in February which brought forth the usual array of novel par- ties, banquets, teas, dances, and luncheons. Pledging and initiation followed immedi- ately after the gay parties of Conflict night. But rushing does not by any means com- pose the entire calendar of the sororities. They are active throughout the whole year. This year we have suggested various amendments to the constitution which will improve the organization. Oneonta Normal School was glad to receive this year the Arethusa convocates. We always welcome the chance to show other schools our fine institution. The council feels that this year has been very successful and hopes that the feeling ofgoodwill and cooperation will continue to grow in the years to come.

Due to the small size ot the P. l. Bugbee School stage, which is being used while the large auditorium is bein remodeled, we have been unable to present a large play. Two one-act plays have been given as assembly programs: Suppressed Desires and Juliet and Romeo. We hope, with all the advantages which the new stage will give us, to increase our number.

The obiect of this sorority is a more per- fect union of its several chapters, promotion of social and fraternal improvement, and the intellectual improvement of its members. Zeta Chapter was originally an Emanon Club and later became Carlonar. ln l902 it became Zeta Chapter of Arethusa Sorority. ln March I926 Zeta Chapter together with the Buffalo Alumnae Chapter were in- itiated into Delta Sigma Epsilon. There are six chapters in these Normal Schools: Alpha-Brockport ' Delta-Oneonta Epsilon-New Paltz Zeta-Buffalo Gamma--Geneseo Eta-Oswego The past year has added to the interesting history of Delta Chapter. ln October the annual Clio-Arethusa dance was held. Chaperons were Mr. and Mrs. Raney, Miss Eveland, and Mrs. Yager. Rush parties were held in the form of a theatre party with refreshments at Kandy- land, and a Bear Party at the sorority house. A formal dinner was given at the Goodyear Homestead. At formal initiation we welcomed ten new members and received two pledges. A Japanese sale, popcorn, apple, and fudge sales proved to be both popular and profitable. ln February it was announced that Arethusa held the highest scholastic average of the Normal School. Arethusa convocation was held at Oneonta this year.

From that time on it grew and prospered. ln l932 the Theta Phi Sorority asked Sign'-a to become one ol its sister chapters. We accepted the in- vitation and were ahfiliateol with Theta Phi in April ot that year. This marks the filth anniversary ol our atliliation with this State organization. This past year has been a very eventlul one lor us. Our season opened with open house. which helped us get acquainted with the Freshmen. ln October we gave a dance with Alpha Delta which was a great success. ln December we had our annual Christmas party at the house. Our Rush Parties consisted ol a lormal dinner and entertainment at the Mayflower lnn and a Backward Party at the house.

S. lt was started in I93l, and has been under the guidance of Miss Jenkins and Miss Posthill. The main objective ol this club is to manitain and further interest in art. At the beginning of the year we had a picture exhibit by Mr. Carlton Palmer, who presented a very interesting program on Pictures That Talk. His paintings were collected from all parts oi the world and some were valued very highly. The music which accompan- ied the program made it more effective. lt was a very enjoyable program. The members have been working individually on wooden bracelets. An annual ariair to which we all look forward is a Carden Tea, at which Miss Jenkins acts as hostess. Another exhibit is to be sponsored in the spring and we hope that interest in art will increase.

N. S. Camera Club was organized in the tall ot I934, under the leadership ot Mr. Myrus and Mr. Johnson. The purpose ot this organization was to further interest in photography. As the interest increased, it was apparent that the laboratory dark room was not large enough to carry on the work: so Mr. Barnett very kindly allowed the club to use his dark room. Several interesting hikes and exhibits were the outcome ol the year's work. This year we have continued the same type ot work-developing, contact printing, enlarging, coloring. and the making ot different types ot slides. The members have come to realize the great value that is derived trom this interest, not only in the class- room, but also as a hobby or a profession. We are greatly indebted to our advisers, Mr. Myrus and Dr. Heydweiller lor their time, materials, and helpful suggestions.

Charles Aspinwall HE Oneonta Normal School Carol Choir is the school organization that otters op- portunities to students who are interested in the tield ot vocal music. This choir contains eighty-tive mixed voices, and performs some ot the best music lxnown today. This music centers around the compositions handed down to us by both the United States and older nations on thoughts ot Christmas and the Nativity-both sacred and secular in type. Other music sung is of a secular nature, but also ot a high standard. l935-36 marked the beginning ot the third season ol our choir. Concerts were given at Christmas time and at Commencement. Part ot our Christmas concert was broadcast over a nationwide hookup. Our efforts were received with great enthusi- asm by the people ot Oneonta and vicinity who were present at these exercises, and who heard our broadcast. Membership in the Carol Choir is open to those students who possess interest, inclination, and moderate ability. This year we have had a large number ot students in school who had one and two years' experience in mixed choir worlc. Benefiting by the experience ot those people and by the voices ot many new members, we have at- tained greater heights than heretofore, both in our Christmas concert and in our Come mencement otterings. Wilson Ochodnicki Anderson U55 1936 HE O-En-Ess ot I936 represents the ability and ettorts ol the members ot the staff.

Schumacher. Miss Matteson and Mr. Curtis both resigned with Dr. Bugbee. ln appreciation ot the many time years the latter devoted to the growth and development ol our school, we have named the new training school after him, The Percy I. Bugbee School tor Children. Dr. Charles W. Hunt came to Oneonta in the summer ot I933. Besides being the principal of our school, he is secretary-treasurer of the American Association oi Teach- ers Colleges. It was through his efforts that this school was placed on the accredited list ot teachers colleges. l-le is also consultant for the Educational Policies Commission. This organization develops long-range planning tor the improvement ot American schools. Since his arrival in Oneonta other changes have taken place at the school. Our building is undergoing alteration and reparation. Both Dr. Hunt and Mr. Wils- bach are stimulating a greater interest in music and promoting an annual musical pil- grimage to New York, a Carol Choir and a symphony orchestra, and assembly pro- grams. lt is planned to purchase an organ tor the new auditorium. There is also a possibility ot our having a much enlarged athletic tield with a ski-iump for winter. Dr. l-lunt tavors an extensive sports program. Time marches on! We have sketched Oneonta's growth from a wilderness to a city. We have followed the growth ol the State Normal School from a bill in the State Legislature to one ot the leading normal schools in the state. We know what has gone before, and have an inkling ot a few things to come. What the future holds in store tor Oneonta and our school time alone can tell. i 0NfoNrA W!f?

It is not a select club, but one to which every- one belongs. This year many students have shown their desire lor outdoor sports. The Sports Club bought new skis and a toboggan lor the winter months. Skiing seemed io be tops, and we hope to see everyone participating in this sport next winter. Unalayii Lodge is the scene ol many weekend parties in warm weather. lt is here that we hold our student-faculty picnics. We also serve refreshments to those engaged in winter sports. So great a number ol students have enioyed these winter sports that we say goodbye to winter reluctantly. The rifles purchased by the Sports Club have proved a good investment. There are many students now who have some knowledge ol the art ol shooting. We hope the interest in ritlery will increase in years to come. Ping-pong, badminton, bowling, and basketball are indoor sports that are always popular with the students. Archery, bicycling, horsemanship, and hiking are among the best-liked outdoor sports at O. N. S. The outgoing otticers wish the new otticers the best ot luck. l lere's to the Sports I Club! May its success reach the highest peak in the history ot Oneonta Normal School. L I BASKETBALL HE greatest team ever to wear the colors ot Oneonta Normal-such is the title ot the I935-'36 basketball squad. Playing the stittest schedule ever attempted, the boys in red won nine out ot thirteen games. With the exception ot the Brockport game, three points were the greatest mar- gin ol victory allowed to any conqueror. Not only in the number ot games won have our boys achieved distinction, but also in their courtly manner. Numerous commendatory letters have been received by the team praising their good sportsmanship at home and abroad, whether in victory or defeat. This remarkable record was the result ot high class individual ability, teamwork, and excellent coaching. To Coach Damaschke we otter our heartiest congratu- lations tor the time worl: he has done. Mr. Mills also comes in tor laudation. l-lis encouragement and advice contributed to the success ot the team. The second team also enjoyed a brilliant season, winning twelve games out ot thirteen, and provided the practice competition tor the varsity. asgzzfgaff Members ot this year's team who will graduate are: See- ley, Steenrod, Shaw, Bowen, J.

Start- ing at, the school, it ended at the Lodge, where eats were served. The rain did not dampen the spirits ot our hardy Frosh, and the event was dubbed a swimming success. A series ot breakfast hikes and marsh- mallow roasts attracted unusual large num- bers during the tall months, and everyone voted them swell times. The Sports Club presented a play in Chapel on October 7 describing the vari- ous activities ottered by the organization and characterizing much humor and action. lt was enthusiastically received by the stu- dent body. On October II the school sent repre- sentatives to the National Archery Tour- nament at Boston. They were Edward Cas- well, Grace Snyder, Roger Perry, and Jane asses ii '75 SEE Qgfzofzfs, McCarthy. Eddie made an excellent show- ing, ranking third in the Saturday morning finals. They returned to Oneonta Sunday. The tleet ol bicycles were in constant use during those warm tall days, many taking advantage ot free periods to become bet- ter acquainted with the geography ol One- onta. Some ot our women preler a more an- cient rnode of transportation, however. All through autumn many be-trousereclu eguestrians were touncl gaily cantering up hill and down dale. Many Norrnalites spent their sun-down hours on the local tennis courts, and our school can boast ot several accomplished racketeers. As the brilliant autumn colors ol the surrounding hills turn a chilly gray, we retreat indoors, where the girls' inter-class basketball teams meet in weekly battles. Smilzfsi HE winter of I935-'36 will probably be remembered lor many years to come. When we're old and tottering we can take our grandchildren on our rheumatic knees and tell them how the snow drifted ten feet deep on Normal l-lill, and how the thermometer wouldn't budge above zero tor weeks and weeks. We can also tell them that that was the year when winter sports really began at Gneonta Normal. Skiing was the leading winter activity, followed closely by tobogganing. Several pairs ot skiis and a toboggan were pur- chased by the Sports Club. Every Satur- day and Sunday tound students braving the icy weather to reach the Lodge. Com- mittees were appointed to serve hot cotlee to all comers. The Lodge pond and Neahwa Park were used tor skating throughout the winter. Snowshoeing also proved very pop- ular, especially with the faculty. Indoor sports also had their place in the sun during the winter months. Alter the bowling alleys were reconditioned, tourna- ments were held. New ping-pong equip- ment revived a laltering interest in that eifmfs recreation, and it held top place among the indoor activities until warm weather made it possible tor spring sports. Deck tennis and shuttleboard were en- ioyed by many students in preparation, no doubt, for the day when they, as teachers, can take a boat ride. Last winter a ritle team was organized at Oneonta Normal, and it will probably become a permanent addition to the activi- ties curriculum. Five new ritles were pur- chased by the Sports Club, and practices were held one night a week at the State Armory. The prospect ol walking down town in sub-zero weather was responsible for a small showing at tirst, but when warm- er weather came, greater numbers went to try their skill with the guns. Every Monday night the school was open, and large crowds took this opportunity to roller skate in the gym. A series ol square dances were held on Monday night, too, They provided no end ot amusement tor spectators as well as participants, and many students took the opportunity to mas- ter the intricacies ot rural terpsichore. gifliill E all had great times during the win- ter, but enough is enough, and so, at the song ot the tirst robin, woolens were gaily discarded, and the undergraduates responded en masse to the call of nature. The baseball practice began about the middle ot March to start its way tor a big season, Women's softball league got un- der motion shortly in advance ot the Spring vacation with a good turnout trom the Freshman Class as well as many upper- classmen. As in the tall, the ancient sport ol archery attracted many potential Robin Hoods, and brightly colored arrows could be seen whiz- zing about in all directions, much to the chagrin ol stray pedestrians. Again the lavorite sport ot the gay nine- ties provided amusement tor many an odd hour. The students could be seen putting laboriously up Maple Street on their bicy- cles to coast nonchalantly down again. Tennis showed no loss in popularity, and many Normalites could be iound on the f V X. ' f iga' ' X -I vf' . J , . r 7 .' ' y I cf ciymfi local courts earnestly struggling to give as good a return as they received. Student equestrians again made their appearance on the local bridle-paths, cling- ing for dear life as the horses, kittenish after an inactive winter, cantered around at a mad pace. Later in the spring the Scottish game of golf was a big inducement to rationalize study hours and spend a day in the open. With the Country Club links at their dis- posal, many students spent their week-ends in hat pursuit of the little white ball. Swimming continuing for the winter, had a very enthusiastic following by those who made weekly trips to the Y pool. One of the biggest events of the term was the Cabaret Supper. The program consisted of competitive skits given by the various organizations of the school. lt also included, to the delight of many of those attending, refreshments and dancing.
