THE CHARLATANS Throughout this past year the Charlatans have maintained the finished quality which marked their productions of a year ago. Last November the Music Department assisted the Charlatans in presenting The Cottontown Minstrelsf' Those who saw the production spent an enjoyable evening and felt the boys were a credit to the club. From the proceeds, a small piano was purchased, part of the cost having been defrayed by the District. The Big Front was the presentation which was chosen as the Senior play. Almost all the players were members of the graduating class. Those in the audience, which included several with dramatic experience, complimented Miss Phillips, choice of the play, her casting and directing of it. Remarks were most profuse in crediting the Charlatans with a production of professional caliber. TROOP NO. 111-ONONDAGA CENTRAL SCHOOL Eagerly interested boys, fifteen in number, constituted the Boy Scout troop spon- sored by the school. Weekly meetings of serious work and fun have brought this organization to rather a strong position. Parents who visited the school at the installa- tion of the troop and since are confident that their boys will benefit from scouting, one of the greatest of boy organizations. V SHORT COURSE IN AGRICULTURE When eighteen to twenty young men find time to come to the school one evening a week for instruction in agriculture there must be a worthwhile course offered. We are proud of the achievement of the short course as taught by Mr. Davis and expect as large a group during the school year 1937-38. AN EDUCATED MAN IS ONE WHO HAS The mentality to think clearly, The will to work accurately, The culture to recognize, appreciate and apply the good, the true and the beau- tiful wherever found, The democracy to maintain the common touch, The social conscience to relate himself helpfully to society at some point beyond vocation and its reward. And one who has come to see in the universe not a machine, but a purpose, and behind that purpose, G0tl'.,,-JOHN PONTIUS -2j- In a democracy free schools are not a gift, no! a charity, bu! a cooperative aclivity of ilu' people. -WILLIAM FALWELL

IN WHAT COURSES ARE YOU INTERESTED Whatever your plans may be for the future, now is the time to formulate a definite program for your four years of high school. If there is a hope in your mind of attending college plans have to be made in your freshman year in high school. However, for those who know that graduation from high school closes their formal educational life a broader course of study is offered. We especially direct the attention of boys and girls who are to enter high school this fall to the special courses of Home Making and Agriculture offered at Onondaga Central School. Home Making is a most practical and worthwhile course open to girls and has as its basic principles the training of young Women to assume in life the position of leadership in the home which is so fundamental in the development of this state and our country. Agriculture courses in New York State schools are aided by the Federal Govern- ment, as all realize agriculture to be one of the basic industries of our nation. In agri- culture courses, boys are given practical suggestions for farming as well as instruction in management and operation of a farm. Field trips to various farms accepted as well managed, field trips to sales and auctions for experience, as well as extended trips to the Agriculture College at Cornell are undertaken each year. ' ANNOUNCEMENTS The State Fair will be held this year while school is in session. Tickets for the fari will be given out to pupils after they have returned to school on Wednesday, September 8. We hope parents will plan to take school children to the fair on Friday, September 10, so that school attendance may be maintained. Your ticket will admit you for only one day. Be sure to attend the fair, however, and make use of the educa- tional opportunities which are present there. Due to a teachers' conference, Onondaga Central School will be closed Friday, September 10, and we ask parents to cooperate with the school in using this day to attend the fair. Home Room lists will be posted the first day of school. Be sure you are in the right Home Room. In constructing the schedule of classes we attempt to build a schedule which will benefit the greatest number of pupils. Pupils who have attended Onondaga Central School these past two years know we welcome your return. If you are entering for the first time this year, please realize we hope that you will enjoy the school hours spent here and find pleasure and profit for yourself as well as satisfaction for us. Sincerely, M. A. HELFER, Supervising Principal -24- ' jails and prisons are the complement of schools, so many less as you have of the latter, so many more you musl have of the f07m6f.,,-HORACE MANN '
