The Orchestra Onondaga Central is justly proud of its school orchestra. Being organized but a few months it has developed into a strong interest for those who have become members. Any pupil throughout the entire school who plays an instrument is urged to become a member It has done much to raise school spirit through its fine service by playing at assembly programs and entertainments. High School Auditorium The auditorium in Onondaga Central has become the center of extracurricular activities. All class functions, dances, orchestra practice, assembly programs for grades and high school, plays, rehearsals, basketball games and practices, intramural games and noon-hour programs are found to take place in this well planned room. The Board of Education wishes the school with its various facilities to be used by organizations within the district for all worthy purposes. Parent-Teachers Association The last meeting of the year for the Parent-Teachers Association of Onondaga Central School found well over 200 people in attendance, which certainly is factual proof that the first year for this organization was most successful. The first meeting was held with approxi- mately 60 in attendance, but interest increased throughout the year. The Ofiieers are: Presi- dent, Mrs. Erwin Seeley, vicefpresident, Mr. Robert Everinghamg secretary, Nlrs. Everett Horton, treasurer, Mr. Sherman Saunders. Let us exert a bit more effort and make this coming school year bigger and betteri' for the P.-T. A. Every parent and fr-iend of this district should be a member and cooperate with our school, helping to bring greater success in all fields of endeavor. To Be Successful l. WORK HARD. Hard work is the best investment a man can make. Remember we get most out of that into which we put most. Z. STUDY HARD. Knowledge enables a man to work nIore intelligently and effec- tively. lndifferent effort brings drab, uninteresting results. 3. HAVE INITIATIVE. Ruts often deepen into graves. 4-. ENJOY YOUR WORK. You will find pleasure in mastering it. 5. BE EXACT. Slipshod methods bring slipshod results. 6. Have the SPIRIT OF CONQUEST. The victory of success is half won when one gains the habit of work. 7. CULTIVATE PERSONALITY. Personality is to the man what color is to the fiower. 8. HELP AND SHARE VVITH OTHERS. The most valuable thing you can get from high school is learning to live with Others for the beneht of all. Furthermore, the real test of greatness lies in giving opportunities to others. 9. BE DEMOCRATIC. Unless you feel right toward your fellow men, you can never be a successful leader of men. 10. IN ALL THINGS Do YOUR BEsT. The man who has done his best has done every- thing. The man who has done less than his best has done nothing. -17- Wv i
