Archery Left to Right: Mr. Mear CCoachD, Karen Gardner, Jane Heer, Louise Krakau, Pauline Case, Helen Pegula, Eileen Flanagan Three years ago it was decided by the County League that basketball should not be played by girls. Since then coaches in the various schools have searched for some type of activity in physical education to take the place of basketball. So, along with volleyball, this school adopted archery as a fitting sport for our girls. In the county archery meet held at Griilin Field, Liverpool, the girls representing Onondaga Central placed sixth. Not a bad record when We realize this is the first year of competition for our girls. The girls voted to receive letters by the Athletic Association were: Jane Heer, Louise Krakau Qco-captainj, Eileen Flanagan Qco-captainj, Pauline Case, Francis Pegula, Karen Gardner. -21-

Home Making fuliills the seven major objectives of education in a practical manner. Worthy home membership is the objecitvc toward which homemaking makes the greatest contribution. Agriculture is- the practical course offered to boys attending this school. Farm practices have changed in the past years and will continue to change. There are well over 200 high schools in New York State that offer agricultural courses to boys and it has been definitely proven that the educational gains warrant the establishment of these departments. Field trips to various farms and institutions allow boys enrolled in this department close contact with farm methods recognized as up to date.
