This year marks the one hundredth anniversary of free education in Oneonta as well as in New York State. Our school celebrated the event with a series of three library programs stressing accomplishments of the past. lVlr. Edwin Moore, Oneonta's local historian, was guest speaker at the first program, entitled OHS 100 Years Ago. On the following weekend, choir alumni gathered to sing selections from past school productions. A round-table discussion with former athletic stars highlighted the last program. These events brought to mind not only the achievements of our school, but the idea that education is a gift, inherited from those who struggled 100 years ago to give their children a better life. All we enjoy in our beautiful school- its campus, classrooms, pep rallies, football games, and assemblies, is the result of the ideals of a generation 100 years ago. sv 'SK In ui . k

Whether it be teaching students the artistic sense of balance and design, or the correct delivery of a demonstration speech, each instructor must have the gift to inspire students to learn. Mr. Joseph Signorino had such a gift. In his history classes, students participated in active debates of current problems facing Oneonta's Common Council. Through the free and casual discussion, each student was challenged to learn. lVlr. Signorino's gift for teaching made his classes aware not only of the importance of ideas, but of the influence a true teacher has in the education of his students.
