The lean and slippered pantaloon with spectacles on his nose Four years ago the present honorable and dignified seniors of '40 entered the Senior High department of the 0. F. A. and began heckling the teachers. We took our freshman initiation Mon the chinf' like the sturdy youngsters that We were, but, we had visions of future initiations. We passed through an uneventful sophomore year of hard Work in study and in fields of sports and other activities. Then we arrived at our junior year, and that all-important Hlnromf' Under the able leadership of Robert Kuhns it was one of the most successful in years. At last We arrived at our senior year, our goal. We elected Douglas Davis as our president and began a year of hard Work. When Douglas received the presidency he re- ceived a definite honor. NVe had elected him president each year of our high school career. ln addition to all the minor things, We accomplished the Senior Play, 4'Almost Eighteenf? which was a huge success. As well as the things already mentioned the class of 740 can say Without conceit or boastfulness that its members excelled in many fields. Three of our members have received honors in the musical field. Others have 'acarried on in business contests. Still others have brought honors to us in sports and, not to be forgotten, are those people who have gained the scholastic prizes. Thus, the class of '40 comes to the parting of the way, we are sure that as we have been successful during our past four years of work so will we be equally successful in What- ever vocation or career we may choose. As we say goodbye to the Owego Free Academy We Wish the future Senior Classes the same good luck we have had and we hope they will carry on the Work started by their predecessors. if 20 its f11f1f111y F.

' DEAR FELLOW CLAssMAT1zs: Words cannot express what I want to say to you at this time. This long awaited moment has rushed upon us all too soon. The last four years have formed the cornerstone of our lives, and we have enjoyed every minute of them. Throughout these years, we have acquired many worthwhile friends, and have engaged in sports and social activities under the guidance of capable and out- standing instructors. Wye have taken part in town functions which have been very helpful to us. It is now with saddened heart that I bid adieu to my fellow workers and teachers of the old O. E. A. For four years we've struggled and strived toward this goal and now that we are here, we are proud of our achievements. No matter what the future may hold for us, we will always look back with pleasant memories to the days spent together. As president of the Senior Class, I wish to extend to you my deepest appreciation for your loyalty, cooperation, and friendship in making our class, to us, the best that has ever passed through the portals of the O. E. A. To everyone of you I want to give my best wishes for a success- ful and happy life. Sincerely yours, DOUGLAS Davis '40 as 26 52+ Senior Celebreties Lucy Cornelius -- Best Dressed.

Now that you have looked over the picture of the Junior Class of 540, take time to read a few brief remarks about the most outstanding class in the history of the Owego Free Academy. Due to our untiring efforts, this year has been a very busy. popular, and successful one. Some of our activities started in the fall and continued throughout the year. The class sponsored a profitable bake sale. And believe you me, Hfellasf' if you want to pick out a wife who is a good cook, just turn to the Junior Class. Why some the girls made the most delicious cakes and pies that were ever eaten. You just couldnit imagine that some little ll0 pound femme with plucked eyebrows and painted finger nails could ever accomplish such a work of art. After the games during basketball season, several 'fLeap Yearw dances were held to help meet expenses for the 'LProm.'7 Each little Mlassien brought her Hladdief' and a great time was had by all. One of our most successful ventures was the shamrock sale which netted well over our highest expectations. Next on our program was the highly publicized Junior Rrom, which with Phyllis Heinrich as chairman, we modest- ly boast, was one of the most successful in years. Also, this year -we re-established the custom of having a king as well as queen at the Prom. ln sports the Junior Class is well represented. Robert Woodburn. Robert Rickey, Louis Baier, Louis Stella. and Wvilliam 0'l3rien were on the football and track teams. HDOCJ' W'oodburn and 'fliobw Rickey played varsity basketball with several others who fell in the class of Junior varsity. Of course, the girls were outstanding in sports, too, but they had so many ugyml' teachers that when the team and school spirit were organized We bang --it would vanish when a new teacher would come, making them start all over again. But you just watch the girls in their senior yearl The Juniors were not only outstanding in athletics, but played a prominent part in the school dramatics. Several had roles in the Christmas Play. The two one act plays, HThe Monkey's Paw , and 'glflmerv were a huge success. You cried with Phyllis Heinrich, the mother, booed Robert Rickey as a bearer of sad tidings, listened spellbound to the tale of Sergeant William O'Brieng and actually cried when Johnny Watkins, the poor thing, was killed. Then to dry your tears away, Hob lnscho as HElmer'7 made a big hit with the audience. Beatrice and Mary W'ood, as the twins, added spice to the play, and you felt sorry for Darleen Travis as Susan, alias Cinderella, Bob Clark made a handsome beau, Gertrude Skelly and May Belle Koser became old for the night, nDoc,' Wloodburn strutted in in his tux, and strutted out againg f f and Betty Knauf, as Fannybelle, presented the dark side of the y play. You may rest assured that we will make profitable use of our remaining time. The least we can do is to hope oncoming classes will try to keep up the standard we have set. .I LNIOR PROM COXINIITTEE Frou! mu. left lu right: Prom King Rober vJ'Y00lllJllI'll, Robert Clark, Phyllis Heinrich Mary Wood, John Watkins. 501111111 mir: Beatrice Wood, Darlene Travis l ron1 Queen Ruth Cook.

RE1-ig The sophomore year is not supposed to be one of great accomplishments. but rather a chance to recover from freshmen greenness and prepare for junior gaiety and senior grandeur. Neverthe- less, the Sophomore Class of l911-2 has not been altogether idle. It is rather hard to believe that just last year these sophomores were mere freshmen marching under the command of the seniors. However, even then they showed good judgment in selecting Lee Taylor, president, June Spencer, vice president, Donald Shoultes, secretary and treasurer, and Miss Suter and Mr. MPhil,' Hubbard as class advisers. Under the guidance of Miss Ryan and Mr. Reed the Sophomore Class continued to show this wisdom by choosing at their first meeting in September, June Spencer, president, Louis Stella, vice president, Hazel Granger, secretary, and Robert Lyke, Student Council representative. Y As yet nothing has been said concerning the athletic stars of this class. Among the boys are Hay Cornwell, Louis Stella, and Mark Strong, all of whom have shown remarkable success on the school football team. Along with our football players we also have Mldobi' Lyke, Charles Frank, Kenneth Rauch, and Ralph Davis, who are on the road to success on the Junior Varsity Basketball team. The girls, too, have shown genuine interest in sports. Here such stars as Patty Lee, Marian Good- rich, Elizabeth Thomas, Frances Chrystler, and Doris Johnson have won our admiration and respect. Last year, as a freshman, Marian Goodrich was captain of the girls tennis team and won first place in the tournament. Elizabeth Thomas and Doreen Bostwick also represented the Sophomore Class on the team. ive, too, have our share of genuises. Marjorie Chubb, who has won several prizes and honors by means of her scholastic ability, leads the list. Following closely in her footsteps are Phyllis Gardin- er, Charles Frank, and Peggy Dean who seldom fail us in contributing some sophomores to the list of honors. As we take our leave, you, my friends, may decide for yourselves the worthiness of this class of 7-12. Wie ourselves sincerely hope that we may continue our former scholastic and athletic records in the two years to come. so gas Front row. left In riglzl: WI Yearick, J. Shellenlmarger, H. Harders, K.

GERARD Lorrus N Llil-l M ll.l.lCR BALLARD 'l' HUM AS The long awaited Freshman Initiation took place without any serious casualties. A few who did not want to cooperate with the seniors used every force in their power to elude and outsmart them. These few were victims ofthe reckoning day at assembly on the last day of initiation. It was a full forty-three minutes of fun for everybody. As for sports. the freshmen will he well-remembered. ln girls' basketball, Eleanor Hildebrand. Lorraine Hart, and Florence Covello were outstanding players. Their team received second place in the league. The girls, hockey team's best players were Lucille Vlvhitney, Marion Brown, and Alice Vliin- field. This team won several games and was considered good. The boys did not do so well due to the fact that they had more experienced competition and fewer players. However, as long as we had such good homeroom basketball players as James Gallwey, Cur- tis liostwick, and John Hollingsworth, we will hope to do better in the future. According to Coach Phil Hubbard, Jack Schmitt and Conrad Martin are two promising ,lunior Varsity players. We expect to hear more from them in future years. Also, many boys represent the Freshman Class in football. Musical talent is well distributed among members of our class. We doubt if the senior band. orchestra, and chorus could long endure without our aid as we boast of several band players. includ- ing trumpets. clarinets, drums, and horn. ln the orchestra several violins are played by freshmen. and we are well represented in the chorus. A member of our class had the honor to be chosen to go to lthaca for the National Youth Orches- tra contest where he competed with drummers from all over the United States. ln spite of the fact that he was not a winner, his rating, according to the judges. was excellent. Our class s Jonsored a bake sale to increase treasury funds and to ma ' for our Tom Tom Jictures. i l - . l 3 l ltveryhody worked hard to make lt a success. ln the annual Junior High School amateur program the first, second. and third prizes were taken hy students in our class. Several freshmen were on the honor and high honor rolls throughout the year. Those who were not able to make the honor rolls have improved their uork. so most of us have hopes of being in the sophomore picture next year. On the whole, we have enjoyed this year very much and look forward with pleasure to three more years of fun in participating in all social and scholastic affairs of the Owego Free Academy now that our days as fflowly freshmen are over. -:ff 33 CUIIII m1111111 Conzcls. fora lfzff ceunrfru nzcuz.

Esiign Bene After struggling through seventh grade examinations we found ourselves surrounded by our three major subjects history. English and mathematics. One of our minor subjects. silent reading. has helped many of us to increase our vocabulary. According to the new syllabus. we now have our arithmetic regents in June instead of January. The new course lncludes algebra, a little geometry. installment buying and some simple work in the metric svstem. The eighth grades have more pupils this year because they came in from various places. Evelyn Chrystler, a very popular student. was taken from us by death. We miss her very much. A great many of our pupils are gifted with musical ability. ln orchestra there are three musicians from the eighth grades. nine in junior band, and three in senior band. Wie all enjoyed the poems Hsnowboundn by John Greenleaf Wvhittier and 6'Evangeline7' by Henry Wadsworth Longfellow. Wve also found the stories HTurkey Hedi' and 4tThe Legend of Sleepy Hol- lowa' very interesting. In December before school closed for vacation, we had Christmas parties in our homerooms. Each of us brought a ten cent gift which we exchanged. Our annual Junior High School party was held March fifteenth celebrating St. Patrickis Day. The gymnasium was beautifully decorated in green and white. Strips of crepe paper were attached to a large shamrock suspended from the ceiling while smaller shamrocks ornamented the ends. Our programs were unusually clever. They consisted of three shamrocks clipped together. The eighth grade teams gave a wonderful exhibition this year. The eight twoas held the title while the eight one's were one step behind them. Each of the teams had red shirts with the num- bers of their grades on the front and back. Wve have had an enjoyable year and hope next year to find ourselves members of the Freshman Class. 425 3 7 Ee Seventh Studen! Council Representative . . JAMES WLWOD 7 ill CLASS President . ..,...

After a whole year of being the Lehigh and mightyv sixth graders at Central School, it certainly was a blow to learn that there were many new experiences to undergo. A few weeks after school began, each classroom organized and elected olhcers. James Wlood from room one was elected Student Council representative for the entire seventh grade. Outstanding among the special events of the year were two parties. At Christmas time each home- room had a tree and exchanged gifts. A Saint Patrick's Day party was held for the entire Junior High School. This was a gala event and everyone had a fine time. Throughout the year, the geography classes featured special illustrated booklets on various topics including the solar system and mining. English classes were made especially interesting by unique methods of studying grammar, oral and written book reports and the use of radio broadcasts. Wie had stories and dramatizations about historical people and events. Frequently, we went on imaginary trips through whole historical periods. A number of experiments with apparatus were carried on in our study of science. The weekly reading of our Current Events kept us up-to-date on world wide news, and helped us in oIIr preparation for examinations. For a number of weeks, some of the rooms had an imaginary village called Homeville. In this village there were theaters, a post oliice, newspapers, clothing stores, grocery stores, a hotel and many other concerns which are found in a real town. Each business was owned and managed by two or three of the pupils from the home room. Many interesting events took place during the time Homeville existed. The year as a whole was a profitable one. As a result we feel that we added much to the process of preparing ourselves for the outside world and the life which lies beyond our school days. eil 38 E+ rade Ifrnnl rolr. lcfl I0 r1'gl1l.' lt.

Student Council Each year students from the Junior and Senior Classes are chosen as candidates for the presidency of the Student Council by their fellow classmates. These candidates, with the aid of a friend as manager, cover the corridor walls with posters and campaign in various homerooms. On an appointed day these candidates and their managers appear in a special assembly where they give their final promises and vows to the students. One candidate, elected by ballot, becomes president, and another, vice president of the Student Council. Besides these oilicers representatives from each class are chosen. These students, under the advisorship of the Superintendent, constitute the Student Council. The members of this year's council were responsible for the planning and conducting of better student entertainments. They assisted the superintendent in important matters pertaining to student activities. The talent shows, movies, speakers, singers and other Hne assembly programs were all carried out through the tireless efforts of the Student Council and Superintendent W. G. Morgan. They did their best to carry out the interests of the student body, to whose enthusiastic cooperation the Council is greatly indebted for a happy and most successful year. The support and backing that the faculty gave this organization can not go unnoticed. The Coun- cil, in turn, cooperated with the students and faculty so that the fine spirit of the Owego Free Academy was upheld in every way. -:il 42 lt:- Frnnl rnzr, left to llgllf P Hein rich, R.

Vlvith James Gallwey as drum major. the band contributed spirit and zest to the football enthusiasm of the O. F. A. The band took part in the annual Armistice Day parade on November eleventh. presenting an especially fine appearance. The outstanding honor for the entire year was bestowed upon three veteran musicians when Harold Cook. Frederick Miller. and Robert Kuhns were chosen as members of the All State Orchestra at Rochester the hrst week in December. They spent three days there in intensive rehearsals under the direction of Ur. White of the Eastman School of Music. and participated in a concert before a capacity audience of twenty-hve hundred in the Eastman Theater. Many Owegoans journeyed to Rochester for the concert and were thrilled by the marvelous program of this great orchestra. The winter and early spring months gave the band members an interim in which to get ready for the hnal event of the year. the Annual Concert. which. alter several last minute postponements due to the flood. was presented April tenth. The audience was very enthusiastic in its appreciation of the best concert performance of recent years. Outstanding selections were two tenor saxophone solos played by Frank Cannizzo. a promising young musician from the eighth gradeg and a trumpet solo by Fred- erick flliller who was in particularly good form.

The Spring Concert, which was held in early May, was the hest ever. Among the soloists were Monica Doyle. sporano, who sang HSapphire Seas accompanied hy the chorus and Harold Cook in a llute ohligatog Billee Morely and Ellen Mason, who carried the melody of Vanka 117 Tankaf' and Gorden Morris, who was featured in a tenor solo. Hl.ove at My Heart, Hsalutationf' and wfhe Lilac Tree were other selections which were rehearsed faithfully in preparation for the concert. A few talented students were entered in the contest which was held April l3th at Endicott. So- prano soloists were Mae Belle Koser, Billee Morley and Monica Doyle. Piano soloists, Ellen Mason and Robert Lowry: flute soloist. Harold Cook and string bass soloist, Rohert Kuhns. Ahout one thou- sand participants were present. Harold Cook and Billee Morley were rated eligible to go to the state finals at Canandaigua. ln this contest Harold Cook was rated eligible to participate in the national finals held in Alhany. Tioga County Music Festival Un May twenty-fourth the Music Department of the O. F. A. played host to the Tioga County Music Festival, organized a year ago under the sponsorship of the Associated Schoolmen of Tioga County. Early in the afternoon eager groups of young musicians began to throng the O. F. A.. all joy- fully anticipating a fest of singing and playing for each other. The entire afternoon session was devoted to choirs, glee cluhs and choruses, interspersed with short solos hy outstanding students from the various schools. The evening session proved a gala one with hands appearing in their brightly colored uniforms, and orchestras lending a spirit of festivity with their tuneful melodies. The Music Department will long cherish the memory of this excitement and fun, and is proud to have had the music groups of the entire county as its guests this year. in 232 ' ' Sftllltffllg. lei!

Dramatics The Dramatics Club was organized in the early fall with the largest membership it has ever had. More than seventy pupils have been active in one or more of the productions given this year. At the first meeting, the following officers were elected: president, Virginia Birch, vice president, Viiil- liam Fahlg manager. Robert Kuhnsg production manager, Charles Carroll, secretary, Betty Hether- ingtong entertainment officers, Marjorie VanNatta, Esther Fitzmartin, Emily Foster. Betty Knauf, and Phyllis Arnold. HThe Queenis Christmasf, a Chirstmas play written by Alice Cerstenberg. was presented by the Dramatics Club in assembly the day before Christmas vacation. Later it was given on a Sunday eve- ning for the public. The time of the play is Christmas eve and it portrays the visit of Queen Elizabeth to the Earl of Seldingham, the father of a boy whom she has imprisoned. She is gaily received and entertained in all the brilliancy and color characteristic of an old English court. This beauty was greatly intensified by a play within the play which included the Nativity scene. At the end the queenas realization of her great cruelty makes her give her ring as signature for the release of the young son of the Earl. The next work of the Dramaties Club was the two one act plays given in March. They were uElmer,'7 a comedy by Beatrice Humiston McNeil and HThe Monkeyis Pawf, a tragedy by Louis N. Parker dramatized by Viv. W. Jacobs. These were presented by juniors and seniors in an effort to raise money with which to take the best play to the Seven- teenth Annual High School Theater Tournament held in ithaca in May. The Senior Play chosen for this year was l HAlmost Eighteen, a comedy written by Dana Thomas. Two casts were used thus giving more members a chance to participate.

Future Farmers The Young Farmers' Club was started in the Owego Free Academy in 1926. It consisted of twelve members. The boys have traveled far since then. At present the boys of Owego who are interested in the field of agriculture, belong to the Future Farmers' Association of America. This is a large organi- zation which includes a great many high schools throughout the country. Today there are over seventy future farmers in the Owego Free Academy, and they are a rollicking, jolly good hunch of fellows. Detroit Club Hon to Detroit! has been the enthusiastic cry of a number of eighth grade boys for the past twenty-four years.

For a brief electric mo- ment, while the stands sit tight, the tan pigskin hangs motionless in the mild, raw-blue October sky. Suddenly it wobbles, and drops. A receiver glides in to meet it. Interference forms and drives ahead with crushing force. Then out of the spilled players, flashes the ball-carrier dodging tacklers, zig- zagging, straight-arming his Way goalward. As usual, enthusiastic, noisy, cheering crowds appeared at Marvin Park to watch the Red and Blue team meet its opponents on its home field. This year, the O. F. A. school band participated at all the home games adding the true atmosphere to football, the grandest game of them all. 0wego's 1939 football season wasnit too successful as they achieved only the fifth position in the league. During Owego's season, the team won three games, lost three and tied one. Their victories were over Athens, shutting Athens out with a score of 14 to O, taking Waverly 20 to 6, and defeating Watkins Glen 21 to 6. Their losses were to Towanda with a score of 144 to 13, Painted Post 26 to 0 and Horseheads 7 to O. Their tie was with Elmira Heights. Douglas Davis was the captain of our uelevenn and deserves a great deal of credit for the man- ner in which he so capably managed the team. Football since its beginning in 1869, has increased in popularity. Owego should be proud that she is doing her little bit to make it one of the grandest games ever played.

Basketball The l939-40 haskethall season started with the same large crowds and enthusiasm that is typical of the Uwego Free Academy. Basketball is considered one of the most important sports of the High School and is followed closely hy many faithful supporters. The Owego team had a tough job this season. Only one veteran returned. Robert Rieg. who was chosen captain and did his work capahly although we were forced to give up the League cup. Leroy Steele was the individual high scorer for the Owego aggregation. with a total of 77 points. closely followed hy Jesse Howard with 73 points. During the season. Owego amassed a total of 509 points against the sum of 423 for their opponents. Owego Free Academyds green and inexperienced team started their season surprisingly well hy trouncing the Johnson City High School on the Owego court. The ':UwegoansW kept the heavier and slower Johnson City quintet on the run every minute of the game.

The team defeated North High of Binghamton tysiceg however. the superior playing displayed hy the experienced golfers of the Binghamton Central High and Union-lindicott Schools prevented time Owego Indians from adding more scalps to their line of victories.

Track With top honors xx on at tyx o out of the three meets in which they took part. the memhers of the l9f'39 track team can truly he proud of their record. The meet with North High School of liinghamton was the first in which many of the U. l . A. Indians participated. inexperienced though they were. the Indians completely overran their opponents with a score of 09-S38 points. Next the Indians competed with the liinghamton Central. Johnson liity. Li1li0Il-l'iItiliC0ll.. and St. Patrit-k's Schools. The Uwegoans triumphed over these and hrought hack to the U. lf. A. another cup to add to an already line collection. However. the indians were not quite so successful at the ithaca sec-tionals. for they only took fourth place. Though many of last yearis stars have left. several neys lwoys are planning to go out for this popu- lar sport. thus making a very favoraltle outlook for the team. Under Coach Hulrlvard's excellent guidance this yearis track learn hopes to go don n in school history as a team of champions. ffl sv , Q A Long Yell for the fllanagvrs and the Clzeerleurlersl' Top, left to riglzl: li.

Object: To produce a more skilled and better team than Endicott. Materials: Fifty girls, fifty-odd hockey sticks, ten or twelve balls and a great deal of enthusiasm. Procedure: With the opening of the hockey season, Miss Ryan took these fifty girls to the field. There followed days of ulimbering upf, Miss Ryan observed the technique and gave individual care and attention to each girl that she might improve and correct faulty form. After several weeks of practice, the intramural games began. The seniors earned the honor of first place. Miss Ryan, by this time, knew the stars of each team and chose the above team to battle against our old rival, Endicott. Conclusions: 1. Our object was attained. The team returned from Endicott that November afternoon victors, with a score of 1-0. A 2. For Miss Ryan's work and patience, we give to her the laurels of this victory.

Fpul- Girls' Basketball Un the girls' basketball court there is generally a great deal of competition and this year has been no exception to the rule. The enthusiastic girls came out in great numbers, they all had hopes of being on the class teams. However, the number of girls gradually decreased as the more strenuous playing began. Those left soon regained their old skill and speed, and the practices changed from technical training to real playing. Later more of the girls were needed, and those remaining were chosen for the class teams. Captains were also elected. When the intramural games began, it was discovered that the Freshman Class had an exception- ally fine team. As the season came to a close, the freshmen had tied the seniors for first place, both having won four games. Excitement ran high when the playoff came. The age and experience of the seniors gave them the advantage. After a long and exciting struggle. victory came to the seniors. This gave them first place in the class standing, with five games to their credit. The freshmen came second with four games won. The sophomore and junior teams did not give the seniors and freshmen as much competition as was expected. However, the spirit of rivalry between the two was keen and the games were intensely interesting. Third place was hnally won by the juniors, and fourth place was taken by the sopho- mores. The honors of taking first place were not enough for the seniors for they also insisted on piling up the highest total score of any of the teams. This would seem a natural result after taking first place, however, very often another team can score more points in playing other rivals and thereby obtain a higher total score. The juniors scored 93 points, putting them quite a distance ahead of the freshmen. The highest individual scorer was Vliinifred Slocum, a senior. It is needless to say what an honor this was, both for herself and for her team. To make up the Girls, All-School Basketball team. girls were chosen from all the class teams. Vive greatly regret that this team was unable to play outside games. but we hope that in the future this will be remedied. elif 62 lie High Shooters Seated, Iefl lo right F Hilde brand, W.

Hart, Nl Woof Yvood, D. .lohnson l' Stella QC 99 lub To promote and sponsor the girls athletic program and to further school spirit is the purpose of this club. Organized in l935. its growth has been so steady that it has become the largest club in the school. All girls who have obtained a numeral are eligible for membership. Numerals are awarded to girls who have participated in any sport and made their class team. The girls in this club all work for their letter. hence the name GTI Club. In order to procure a letter. a girl must have forty credits and play on at least one all school team. The maximum credit given for any one sport is fiveg there- fore it is impossible for a girl to receive a letter before the end of her second year. However, few obtain their letters at this time. To further school spirit. the girls sold pins. blue and red 0's.,' which can be seen on almost every student. The girls worked at the football games to supply the hungry demands of the crowd by selling refreshments. The profits from these enterprizes were used to finance trips and buy athletic equipment. Every year the activities of the organization are climaxed by the usual M037 Club banquet. At this time awards of numerals are made. the tennis trophy, now in the possession of last year's champion. Beatrice Vtvood, is presented and the letters are given to the outstanding few who have m erited them. 0 Club . . . Oh! for an 0 Front rnzr, left to right: Miss Crosier, R. Hastings, li. Simons, J.

The principal duty of secretaries is to save their superiors time and effort. The deeper they can go into administrative problems and assume responsibilities that would otherwise burden their employers, the better secretaries they are. In the fullest sense, the secretary in business is an executive assistant who actually does whatever excutive work he is able to handle. Scores of young men and women in the Triple Cities Area have qualified for executive as- sistants by taking our ONE YEAR STAN- DARD SECRETARIAL COURSE and right now are holding important secretarial positions.
