Ziel B, Stubba Senior Class Presidents Address We, the class of 1948, on the eve of our forthcoming graduation, wish to express our deep appreciation to our teachers. With patience and kind under- standing, they have made this event a reality. The turning point of our lives has been reached with the aid of these interested helpersg we thank them. A broader, richer life is pending. The education we received was merely the preparation for experience in the adult world that is now awaiting us. The great object of the instruction we have received has been to teach us the value of all education. This power is intended to lit us, not for a life of leisure, but for a life of earnest work. The talents we possess are for the services of allg our activity and progress will be for the beneht of all mankindg our faults and failures will detract from the public good. Primitive man had learned easy ways to start a Fireg modern man has to learn easy ways to produce and control atomic energy. The present condition of the discordant world is storming at us with a plea for help in its eyes. We must stare back at this serious problem. VVe must strive to solve it with all that lies within our power. Isolation has become a passe policy. The disturbance in Palestine affects us as much as the action of the national convention in Philadephia this summer. Each of us must feel a vital interest in affairs international and in the defense of his ideals. We have learned that knowledge and application are necessary in school. XM- :zhall carry that lesson into adult life. Then only can be preserve democracy: then only can we become citizens of the world. To the -luniors who follow, who next will be taking our places here, we pro- pose this challenge. Prepare yourselves now while you are inlschool 5 accept your responsibilitiesg listen to the wisdom of your teachers. Upon your shoulders and ours rests the successful democratic future. Are you strong enough to carry such a burden. . P Chichester, Devendorf, Lamote, Lee, Richardson, Fitzgerald Kessler, N. 36 Junior Response In full recognition of my obligations, as Junior President, I accept for my classmates with anticipation, the challenge of the departing Seniors. We have looked forward since our freshman year to the day when we could be called Seniors. Now that this day is about to arrive, we realize that the 1948 graduating class has not only left us a worthy challenge, but a responsibility to be as great an inspiration to the preceding class as you have been to us. As we progress year by year, we realize that our school has played an impor- tant part in gradually broadening and maturing our outlook. We learn the basic rules of community living by participation in school activities, the rules of good sportsmanship in athletics, and the value of cooperation with students and teachers in our daily school life. lt is a privilege to live in our country where freedom of thought and speech are permitted. With unbiased opinions and tolerance welare taught through class periodicals and discussions to think constructively about civic and foreign prob- lems. We have many post-war difficulties: juvenile delinquency, political corrup- tion, labor disputes at home, and unrest and starvation abroad. If we are to keep secure the ideals set forth by our forefathers, we must prepare ourselves now, so that we may correct these conditions intelligently and strive to bring about a lasting peace. t Yes, we accept your challenge and now may we urge the Senior Class, as they enter the world in which revolutionary changes are taking place, that they strive to control this new force of atomic energy in our generation, that they may help bring the vision of true democracy to all of the people everywhere. The Junior Class wish you Success and Divine guidance in vour undertakings. 0 Www, '.,. .. ,.. -.:, . p , pf ,',. ,..,,.,- - ,L . - --1 ,- Ricchi M. Patone D. Howard 37 Class Prophecy Time: 1973.

Gill 42 Social History The class of '48 has been very active socially from the time we took over our duties as juniors right up through our last days here at O.H.S. But let us begin at the beginning. That day back in 1945. We were but poor bewildered students, many of us just entering the famous portals of dear old Oswego High. Having paid our 3.25, we were now rightful members of the sophomore class. We didn't do much that year. Our main object was to get together as a strong unit to start olyt' our Junior year with a bang, which we did, and then went on with a series of events to gain a coveted treasury. To start with, a star was given to each Junior who paid his dues. Then we had a Junior Amateur Review in which talented students competed for prizes. This turned out to be a great success and brought out some of the hidden talent in the student body. Then came St. Patrick's Day and we sold green ribbons to be worn for the occasion. During the year we sponsored several dances, including the Pre-Christmas Dance, the Junior Pop Hop, and of course, the Pre-Prom dance, which by now is traditional. These were all successful due to the wonderful support given them by the school. For the Prom there was much preparation and work to try to make it surpass all previous ones. Our reward came in praise for the best Prom ever staged. Finally in September of '47 the great day arrived. We were now the seniors, the pillars of the school. We worked from the beginning to present the school with a gift that would make the class of '48 well remembered. in order to achieve our purpose, we held two bake sales and The Saber Dance, which were all successful ventures. Now, with our social history told, need we remind that we were a wonderful class P M. Keegan Lamote M. Johnson 43 Musical History The Class of '48 has contributed much to the field of music in Oswego High School. . The band has given many concerts, played at football and basketball games, in assemblies, and participated in community events. For the full four years the class of '48 has been well represented in the band. They made several trips with the football team last year and were highly praised in the Geneva paper not only for their playing, but also for their marching technique. In their junior year Carl Kennedy, Dave Russell and Chuck Putnam played in a Cornet trio. George Cuppernoll played a clarinet solo and Bill Stubba played in a trombone duet, all at the spring concert. At the last band concert, which was one of the best Gswego has heard in many years, two seniors, Bill Stubba and Chuck Putnam displayed their musical talent and were well received. One of the features of the Christmas assembly was a clarinet trio made up of three seniorsg Agatha De Belles, Suzanne Keefe, and George Cuppernoll. The clarinet trio also assisted in demonstrating the band instruments at the Junior Highs as did Bill Stubba and Chuck Putnam. Some or all of the above will be called upon in the near future to participate in a half-hour broadcast over VVOPT-FM. On all occasions that the band has been called upon for marching activities Nadine Clayton 'has been the leading Drum majorette, assisted by Lois Kessler, Betty Doyle and Dorthea Wiclrig. The senior members of the band, who have played at many football games and have seen bands from other schools in their colorful uniforms while our band had an insufficient number of ill-fitting uniforms, hope that before many more football seasons roll around that the 0.H.S. band will have been successful in their present campaign for new uniforms which will make them the envy of all nearby high school bands. From the very moment We entered the doors of O.H.S. on that fateful morn three orvfour years ago, it was the ambition of many of us to sing with the B.M.G.s or the Philomelians. Those of us who did, no matter how good or bad our voices were, had some experiences we shall never forget. In the past four years the Beta Mu Gamma has grown from an organization which put on minstrel shows and had a good time as a top Hight glee club that has put on three fine concerts. All participants enjoyed the preparation for each Concert. The Philomelians, an older group, has risen to become one of the Hnest, if not the finest, girls glee club in the state. Members of the class of '48 who contributed in no small measure to the success of these clubs are: Rita Gill, as president of the Philomelians, has capably fulfilled her dutiesg NancyMurchie, soloist at last fall's concert was a hit, Nancy Kessler, who gener- ously contributed many hours of service as accompanist for the Beta Mu Gamma, and also contributed her artistic ability to their concertsg Albert Gooding, whom we all know as the boy with the big bass voice,'f not only sang superbly, but, as president of the Beta Mu Gamma has conducted its affairs with skill and diplo- macy, andXNadine Clayton, who has accompanied some solos and small ensembles. 44 The l'hiloettes, consisting of l6 girls, all seniors, have contributed much to the tield of music in Oswego. The small boys ensemble has also helped to further the cause of good music in Oswego. Combined the Philoettes and Small boys ensemble were the first group from Oswego High School to broadcast over Xl'Ol 'li-FM. This program was very well received. The Mixed Chorus of 108 members, has won many honors. Last year at the music fcsitval held in Oswego, the chorus received the highest rating possible and the Ollly rating so high given in the entire state. NVQ seniors who had the good fortune to be members of the mixed chorus will always remember our musical experiences as an outstanding part of our high school careers. 'ww val o M PV Wi' 933 U O , lf TTT Philoettes 45 Athletic History Our sophomore year showed the beginning of a good athletic history for the class of '48, when Tom Halpin and Chuck St. John went out for football. Tom also started his boxing career, and Chuck was in good form on both the baseball and basketball teams. ln our junior year, joe Butera, Ray Jung, Frank Red Ricchi, Bill Walpole, Ed Wapen, Ken VVeIls, Leo Maniccia, and Phil McCarty joined Tom and Chuck on the football field. Gilbert Littlefield, Joe Butera, and Ken Wells were our representatives on the track team, -with 'Leo Maniccia as their manager. Playing basketball was George Cuppernoll, Pat Damore, Chuck St. john, Bill Murtha, Doug Howard, Ed Wapen, and Art Germaine. Pat Damore, Doug Howard and Chuck St. John had Bill Wlalpole, Bob Hennessey, and Leo Maniccia with them on the baseball field. The last of the sports in which we participated is swimming with Paul Carl and Keii' Wells, and boxing, with Pat Damore and Tom Halpin. Our Senior class was mostly a continuation of our junior year, with l.eo Maniccia, Ken Wells, Bill Wfalpole, Phil 'lVlcCarty, Charles Cughan, Joe Butera, Dominic DeCastra, Francis Chillemi, Tom lrlalpin, Ray lung, lirancis Kells, Red Ricchi, Francis Ritz and lid Wapen on the football squad. Red Ricchi Pat Damore and Bill Walpole were outstanding players on the basketball team, with lid VVapen, Bill Carney, George Cuppernoll, Bill Murtha, Doug How- ard, and Art Germaine backing them up. Baseball held the attention of Bob Hen- nessey, manager, and his men, including Pat Damore, Bob Dashner, Doug lflow- ard, Red Ricchi, Bill Walpole and Leo Maniccia. Tom Halpin and Pat Damore were still on the boxing team. Paul Carl and Ken VVells were out for swimming and Carlton Sweeney and Art Fleischman kept the name of O.H.S. alive at the bowling centers. We had three cheerleaders, too. Pat Shannon, a varsity cheer- leader, and Marie Zell and Pat Shaw, both Junior Varsity cheerleaders. Many girls from the G.A.A. graduated in the year of '49, Watts, Schneider, St. John, Mylott, Burke 46 The Class Will We, the class of 1948, of the Oswego High School, Oswego, New York, in the dawn of the Atomic Age, deem it expedient to File-our last requests under the shade of the newly planted memorial tree at the rear of the present High School building.

CLASS OF 1947 OSWEGO HIGH SCHOOL Witness: Suzanne Keefe, Barabra Sculley and RoseMary DeBelles. 49 Class Poem Will we relive at all in future years The four we're eager now to leave behind? NfVill we speak again in this strange tongue, And re-experience some part within our mii Cramming for Finals-marks good or bad, The welcome change assembly brings- Skipping seventh--getting caught, Going steady -bracelets, rings, Showing Fulton how to play, And the thrill of Mur-Mur day. Then the long awaited rite, Junior Prom-the glorious night! lf we should not think again these thoughts Of iovs and fears!oh 'specially of fears Unpleasant and pleasant blending together, Subjected to mellowing balm 'of the years, lf we will not know again the things That gave us unity right from the start, And altogether made us citizens Of our small world alone and set apart. lf we should not love again our loves And suffer tragically through all our woes So banished by the aged as childish whim Yet to mark some lives eternallyk-who knows? lf valueless we find these vears, And let these memories wilt and die: lf our minds are closed to knowing, loving, Where, then, can our fulfillment lie? Yet, through the medium of heart and soul For that is trulv where these mem'ries lie, We'll raise the Past to Present time again, And live a thousand lives before we die. Marianne W2ltlS .

Later in the game Hob Haynes made the winning touchdown. The fol- lowing week the liUVl'C'l'SI1lCl1 dropped a thriller to Utica Proctor 7-6 with Red Ricchi scoring the lone touchdown. Bob Haynes scored the only touchdown in the Utica lfree game which they dropped 30-6. Remaining in their slump Oswego lost another thriller to Geneva l9-l3.

Carl and Sheldon followed through with the other 12 points. ln their tinal game Oswego lost to Rome 15-O. This was the first game of their season that Oswego was held scoreless. There was no 78 score until the last quarter when the team seemed to bow to the superior forces of Rome. Due eredit should also go to the wonderful line that Oswego turned out. They helped a great deal in winning the games. Captain Bob Sheldon, the only live-lettered athlete in the history of the Oswego High School, was top scorer for the season with 20 points to his credit. Varsity Squad: Ends-XVells, Carl, Rebheor.

The Blue and NNl1ite averaged better than a point a minute and 40 points per game during' their season and although they lost most of their games, none of the contests were uninteresting to watch. Oswego seemed to rally in the last quarter of each game and then fell short by about two or three points. Two of the most notable victories were against Fulton and Rome when Oswego eaxne from behind and edged out their opponents by a few points in each game.

The team won 16 out of 19 games and to climax their season the Blue and Wliite captured the North-Central Junior Basketball Tournament. Of the three games lost the squad offset them by beating the same teams to even the score, thus boasting that no team held an aclvanage over them. Bill VValpole led the cagers with a total of ll8 points. He was followed by 'loe Cosentino and llill Murtha who had 85 and 70 points respectively. Unlike the varsity squad, the 'lay Vees' individual scoring was lower than usual because of the frequent substituting of Coach Mel Mcliee. t ga- Cross Your Fingers Utica Proctor 83 .au-.MM Sheldon Cz11.ig11l Him-1Nz1tcrtown Boxing Coach ..,.. .................

First Mayor tiswegifs l'rcst'nt Mayor 1848-1849 111-18- 0svvegofffl00th Birthday Of Our City l.et us paint a brief historical picture of Oswego prior to its incorporation as a city. The lnclian name of Uswego was Uswalccc, meaning the tloxing out of the waters. liive years before the Pilgrims lantlcml on Plymouth Rock, Samui-1 cle Champlain came to this region ttlsvvego County1 to :Io battle with the Iroquois. ln October 1615 he and :1 large bofly of lflurons were tlt-cisively clefeatecl. lirench- men again came to this area but for a tlitiferent purpose. The ,le-suit father. l.eMoyne, bv invitation of tht- Unonrlagas, came through t1sw't-go in 165-1. Count Frontenac, the founrlcr of Kingston, Ontario, letl an cxpt-rlition through Oswego in 1696 for the purpose of subcluing the Ononclagas :mtl St-iiccas. The count was carried in a basket on this expedition because of his physical intirmity. The lfnglish Governor lilurnet hail caufzerl a fort to he built in 1727 on the west side of the river. A tablet on VVest liirst and Vanhurcn streets marks the site of Fort Usvvego or sometimes callerl Fort llurnet, Chouaguen or l'eppcrell. On highest land above Fort Oswego tlVlontca1m Varltj was ern-cterl liort George, an outwork of lfort Oswego. Fort Ontario was built in 1755 on the cast sith- of the river. All three forts were captured :intl rlestroytftl in August 1756 by General Montcalm. 92 COUNTY CI,IiRK'S OFFICE I OLD JAIL Several military expeditions entered and left Oswego during the Revolution- ary War. Colonel Barry, St. Leger's unsuccessful expedition, in support of Burgoyne's advance toward Albany, passed through here in 1777. General Wash- ington f1783j sent Colonel Marius W'illet to surprise Fort Ontario but the expe- dition failed to carry or accomplish its mission. That was the last military move- ment of the Revolution against Oswego. The military phase of Oswego's story ended when Great Britain surrendered Fort Ontario on July 15, 1796. A new village was surveyed and laid out in 1797 according to an act of the New York State Legislature. lt is interesting to note that the east side was in the town of Mexico, Herkimer County. Two years later C1798j Oneida County was formed from Herkimer. Later Town of Scriba was formed from Mexico. So the east sides were in the Town of Scriba, Oneida County. The west side was in the Town of Hannibal, Onondaga County. Later the Town of Oswego was formed from the Town of Hannibal. ln 1816 Oswego County Cwith a county seat in Oswego and Pulaski? was formed from Onondaga and Oneida Counties. There are stories of disagreements and conliicts between the Oswegoites and Scribaites which resulted in dark shadows around the eyes and in noses varying from their normal shapes. The community grew into a village. The first permanent settler in Oswego was Neil McMullan. He brought his own house from Kingston, New York, and erected it on the river bank at the foot of West Seneca Street. His child was the first white-born in 1802. It seems that the child liked it here and decided to stay. As the population increased a saw mill, -gristmill, church, courthouse, other build- ings, and structures were erected. The village of Oswego was incorporated by an act of the New York State Legislature and came into existence on May 19, 1828. It remained at that status until April 11, 1848, when it became a city. On March 24, 1848, an act to incorporate the city of Oswego was passed by the New York State Legislature. This law made provisions for the first election of officers to be held on the first Tuesday in April 1848. The elected city officers should take their offices and duties on Tuesday following the election. The election was held on April 4, and the following persons were elected: james Platt, mayor, Gilbert Mollison and Hunter Crane, First Ward aldermeng George S. Alvord and john Boizeol, Second Ward aldermeng Stephen H. Lathrop and Robert Oliver, Third Ward aldermeng Samuel R. Taylor and William Malcolm, Fourth Ward aldermen. 94 CHAPICL SCHOOL UbWhLLiU CANDY WORKS X 1111 April 11, 18-18, 1111- lJl'1'Nll1Qll1 111111 1111511-1-s 111- 111u X'111z1g1- 111 115111-g11 111111 1111- 111:1v111' 211111 111111-1'1111-11-1-11-11 111 111e L4i1y 111 Uswcgu 11551-1111111-11 111 1111- 51111111-1 111111 1 VVQ111-1' S111-1-11 :11111 1111- vi11:1g1- 1111icc1's 1'1-cciv1-11 1111-1-11111-115111 1111-1-1c1'1i1111. 1115111-1 1111's 1-31111111111-11 1111-111 511111 111-c1z11'1-11 111c IlL'W1y 1-11-1111-11 111-1511115 1111111-1's 111 1111- L111' 111 Us.veg11.
