During the past four years-from thc time they were greenhorn freshmen up through their sophomore, junior, and senior years-a great many of them have been outstand- ing scholars, and others have held many important and highly envied school offices. The annual election of Student Council President was won this year by William Donnelly, a brilliant scholar who has held many other important offices throughout his school years. Glenn Warner was chosen president of the Senior Class of 1942, the second consecutive year he has held the office of president of his class. They have been well represented in every field of sports. ln football there have been Louis Baier, Louis Stella, and Glenn Warner, in basketball, Robert Lyke, Chester Mantei, Walter Bradley, and Louis Stella. Mrs. Turner, as she has done many times in the past, once again contributed her time, an extra amount of effort, and her neverfailing patience to conduct the annual Senior Play. The play this year was 'ljune Mad, which was a glowing success. It is now with a heavy heart that we must bid farewell to our classmates of whom many will take part in our war effort. Some will, after graduation, go to work in our huge defense industries, others will join the armed forces, while still others will till the soil to feed our huge populace. lNherever they go, we wish them good luck. And to the underclassmen, we give our best wishes and good luck in carrying on the traditions of the O.F.A. 14 E.

Dear Fellow Classmates, Through these last seemingly long, yet all too short, four years we have struggled together. Mixed with our struggling have been many hours of companion- ship and association. It is to these things that it is hard to say ugoodbyef' In every undertaking, you have cooperated wholeheartedly. It is this spirit that has made my numerous tasks easier to perform. This also has helped to make our class, in our opinion, the best to ever graduate from the Owego Free Academy. Our departure from the O.F.A. will take us into a war-crazed world. Many of us will find ourselves in positions vital to Victory. If we apply ourselves as thoroughly to these jobs as we have to the work set before us these last four years, then our part in the war effort will be our best. I wish to thank you, my classmates, for electing me president of one of the most successful Senior Classes in the history of this school. It has been a pleasure to work with you and an honor to work for you. May you all find happiness in the years to come and be Victorious in your chosen vocations. Sincerely yours, Glenn Warner '4-2 20 Robert Lyke, Friendliest Boy Charles Haywood, Most Diplomatic Boy Kenneth VVolH', Most Patriotic Boy Bruce Westover, The 'ijivingestn jitter- buff William Donnelly, Most Ambitious Boy Jean Knier, Most Attractive Girl Richard Millrea, Wlittiest Boy Marjorie Chubb, Best Student June Spencer, Most School Spirit Louis Stella, Star in the Athletic Field Phyllis Gardiner, Most Philosophical Gerald Mead, Best Defense YVOrker l VV1nllzu'e- Claxtlin uiifl Donald Slioultvs Drill for 4, All ulronrcl for thc- 'Iiogu flentvi' bus.

Second Row-Helen Krenek, Flora Wiggins, Raymond Beebe, Louise Gallwey, Alberta Lurcock. CC LL out for Defense, was the motto of the P. G.'s this year. Of the fourteen who came back to school in the fall there were only seven left at the end of the school year. By Easter Raymond Bee-be, Karl Wfagner, Joseph Purtell, Grace Berkeley, Louise Gallwey, Robert Millage and Robert Woodburn had gone to work in the defense industries or had accepted other positions. Gladys Fraser, Lucille McNeil, Emily Foster, Flora Wiggins, Alberta Lurcock, Edith Field, Helen Krenek and Jane Knox stayed on until the end of the year. As office boys, errand girls and N. Y. A. helpers the latter group could not be bettered. The P. Gfs were well represented in football by Robert Woodburn and Raymond Beebe. Both of these boys came through with the typical O. F. A. Indian spirit and helped to bring about our glorious football victories. Robert Woodburn, captain of the O. F. A. basketball team, led the men on to the sectional championship. One of the highlights of the school year was the Christmas party held in the Shop. It was rumored around school that that party was one of the best held last year. Even though this was the fifth year of High School for most of the P. Gfs, they were as enthusiastic in every way as when they were freshmen. 23 UNIOR CLASS OFFICERS First Row, L. to R.-Gerard Lof- tus, Treasurer, Marian Coleman, President, Evelyn Bogert, Vice- Presidentg Ellen Jacobs, Secretary. Second Row--Lorraine Hart, Stu- dent Council Representative, Mr. Morey, Adviser, Robert Van Natta, Student Council Representative, Miss Ryan, Adviser, Ruth Inscho, Student Council Representative. E JUNIORS took part in so many activities this year, that it was an outstanding one for us. At our first class meeting we elected Marian Coleman, President, Evelyn Bogert, Vice-Presi- dent, Ellen Jacobs, Secretary, Gerard Loftus, Treasurer, Robert Van Natta, Ruth Inscho, and Lorraine Hart, Student Council Representatives. Miss Ryan and Mr. Morey were chosen as our Faculty Advisers. James Gallwey, an active member of our class, was elected Vice-President of the Student Council. We were all glad that one of our class should hold this office. At a later meeting, Gerard Loftus was chosen chairman of the Junior Prom Committee and also of the Club Sahara, a supper club sponsored by the Junior Class. This proved to be a big success as it was something new in the way of dances. Nearly everything was had that is usually seen in a big club, including a fioor-show. The many customers enjoyed the entertain- ment provided. We held our own with other classes as far as sports were concerned. The captain of the 0. F. A. football team this year was Ray Cornwell, a Junior. Gerard Loftus and Mark Strong were also on the team. In track we had Gerard Loftus, Ray Cornwell, Murray Tyrrell, and John Hollingsworthg while Conrad Martin was our star basketball player. We must not forget the girls either, for there were some active junior girls on the basket- ball, volley-ball, and hockey teams. Lucille Whitney, Evelyn Bogert, Alice Winfield, Florence Covello, and Phyllis Ketchum represented the class in this field. Lucille VVhitney and Evelyn Bogert were also cheerleaders. As many of our class were interested in music, we had a number of members in band and orchestra. Those in band were: James Gallwey, Anthony Field, Frederick Lee, Robert Hickein, Ruth Inscho, Cleo McNeil, and Evelyn Bogert. In orchestra we were represented by James Gallwey, Robert Forbes, Murray Tyrrell. Mary Sibley, Henry Calvasina, Evelyn Bogert. Ruth Inscho, and Isabell Rieg. Beverly Keyes, Murray Tyrrell, James Gallwey, and Anthony Field were in the choirg so you see we had our share of musical talent. This year in the Public Speaking Contest, several of our class participated. They were: Beverly Keyes, Murray Tyrrell, Paul McTamney, Ruth Inscho, Phyllis Ketchum, and John Hol- lingsworth. Wie are very proud of them. As for scholastic ability it is safe to say that Frederick Bfiller, John Hollingsworth, Robert Van Natta, and Marian Coleman led the class. They were on high-honor roll nearly all year. In keeping with many patriotic movements in school this year, most of the class joined the Junior Red Cross, and each junior homeroom contributed generously to the Army Utility Bags. We were proud of, yet sorry to lose three members of the class, Charles Swift, Ray Corn- well, and WVilliam Brainard, who left school to join the United States Navy. All-in-all, this was a most successful year for us, and with the same class cooperation we have had this year, we are sure that our senior year will be just as successful. 24 ,IUNIOR ROOM 10 Firs!

The following boys and girls were elected: Robert Espe, President, Jean Brown, Vice-President, Jane Baker, Secretary, Herman Millage, Treas- urer, Alice Winfield and May Donnelly, Student Council Representatives, Coach Phil Hub- bard and lNIiss Crosier, Advisers. Another proof of the unusual wisdom of the Sophomore Class is the fact, that, on the high honor roll, more than a third of the places have been held by sophomores and a large percentage of this class have consistently had averages of 85 and above. Such students as Wilma Babcock, Jack Brink, May Donnelly, Philip Nichols, Jean O'Connor, Howard Palmer, Elizabeth Schmeller, and Jeanne Yancey are noted for outstanding scholastic ability. Many sophomores, both girls and boys, have been active in sports. Of the girls, Virginia Baier led the field in hockey and Loretta Jerome starred in basketball. Several of the boys be- long to the Tuna Fish League and a large number of the boys on the J. V. team are sophomores. The Sophomore Class also showed itself musically gifted. The class is well-represented in orchestra, band, and choir, and a sophomore, Ellen Mason, is the accompanist for choir. The new second choir is mostly made up of sophomores. Besides these, the sophomores have participated in many other school activities. Some members such as Dorothy Reig and Pearl Hensen are talented artists. Others belong to the Journalism Club. 'The sophomore reporters, Philip Nichols and James Murray, have been espe- cially capable in handling the class news this year. One sophomore home room, Room 15, conducted a Good Citizenship campaign during the year to see who could make the greatest improvement toward better citizenship in school. The results of the drive were almost perfect citizenship in that home At the beginning of the school year, the size of the class members, some from Apalachin, some from Tioga Center, and I'O0I'I1. was decidedly swelled by new a number from various other near-by districts. These new members have contributed much to the class in both scholastic and athletic ability. Looking back on our sophomore year, it seems to us that, although we have had no out- standing events, such as a Junior Prom, or a Senior Play, or even a Freshman Initiation, we have enjoyed one of the happiest and most successful years of our school life. We have climbed one rung higher on the Victory ladder toward graduation. 26 ROOM 9 Fin!

XVe've got too many other jobs to do. It seems just like yesterday that we started adding to our forces along the way. In all we have about one hun- dred thirty who are heading for the front. just to show you how we are fighting it out to the finish we have Scott Smith making direct hits for the Junior Varsity and Bill Westover and Harold Bennett on the football squad making the attacks. Also we have Eleanor Taylor out in front leading thc drum majorettes and Betty Wood- burn and Bob Travis on the home front cheering us on to the Hnish. Don't think the boys alone are making the hits and attacks because the girls are doing just as well. They are right out there with plenty of pep. Yes sir! Those are freshmen girls you see in the Red Cross who are busy sewing and knitting for those out in the front lines of the great battle. They sure are going to keep them going with all the different things they are making. They are the ones who are showing what we at home are doing for those at the front. YVC hope you don't think we are letting our marks slip with all these activities because we aren't. In fact we are raising them. We have quite a few who have been on the Honor Roll since this great battle started last September, and we hope to have many more. You just watch us speed up. On all the news flashes they are telling how Bob Travis' quick thinking got him second prize in the slogan contest and Margaret Wallace, who is right behind him got honorable men- tion. That shows you how we freshmen are working. We also had a bake sale and the freshmen girls really showed themselves there. You could smell that good food all over town and did it taste good? It also proved remunerative and helps to explain our picture in the Tom Tom. But of course these are only a few of the things the Freshmen Class are doing on the school and the home fronts. Our enemies are losing in all directions. They thought we were conquered in the first attack which was initiation, but we got together and showed the enemy force, who call them- selves seniors, we were always on the job. We, freshmen, are right in there firing our guns which we hope will hit the right mark. Nothing will suit us freshmen except to come out on top and we surely can do it. So, come on freshmen letis get out there and keep the guns roaring, let everyone know we're al- ways on the job, waving our red and blue flag high and showing them we can do what we set out to do. 28 ROOM 16 First Role.

F. A. and the pleasant years you spent here. As Joe and I have been taking some pictures around the school, I thought maybe you would be interested in seeing some of them. The first picture is of one of the entrances. You canlt see the nice, wide, green lawns, but those interesting splotches are O. F. A. students entering the hallowed halls. Here's the library in action. This shows you how hard O. F. A. students still study. Can't you just see the steam rising as they slave over them thar history books? This is chemistry class, where all the famous brains re- side, Here is a poem I wrote in its honor- What are the tinkling test tubes for In a chemistry class? They'rc things you have to fill with stuff If you expect to pass! Nitric acid, HZO, and nice NaCl All serve but to remind us that Chem lab is-erf!it's swell! And what do all the students do VVith their chloride and their zinc Besides just blowing up the joint? Confidentially, they .... think! Un regard to that last line, sometimes our chem- istry teacher wonders, but then-j The prize package in chemistry class is a quaint lad named Herman Gumpocs. He's a track star, too! When he first joined the team, the coach told him to run toward the 100-yard dash marker. Herman did it in a flash, but no one told him to stop, so he kept right on going. He almost got to Endicott before they finally persuaded him to stop! And now art class: Herman was posing, and the artists managed to draw everything but his ears and that terrible shirt of his. He surpasses even Bing Crosby in sartorial horror. 30 BROTHER I THE ERV As you know, our art department is responsible for the clever ideas which adorn the opening section and division pages of the Tom Tom every year. The next picture taken in wood shop shows some model airplanes which were made by the boys taking this course. These models are used by navy pilots in training them to sight planes and in determining their identity. Ah-here is everyone's favorite period, lunch! Remember the familiar lunch line where students and teachers gather to obtain hot and succulent viands? This is a picture of the girls in action in gym class. The daily diving in and out of clothes, dashing about with bas- ketballs and bats, and a general airing undergone by gym class members keep O. F. A. bookworms from becoming anemic, myopic, and flabby, and give the more athletic members of the student body a chance to indulge in their favorite sport-sports! lNe never realized how much went on at the O. F. A. after school is over, until we came back one night to shoot some pictures. VVe traipsed through deserted halls on the main floors and found the custodians making things spick and span. Down on the basement floor the adult defense classes where Pop', spends his evenings were going full force. Leaving the building we took this final picture which marks the close of another school day. I'll have to stop writing, as home-work is calling, and when home-work calls, it CALLS! Say Hello to Yehudi for me and write soon. Yours for Victory Ella Ziemer P.S.-just as I was finishing your letter the doorbell rang. Mother answered it, and what do you think? There was a box of Gee-orgeous flowers, and an invitation to the Com- mencement Dance. And who were they from? You guessed it -Herman! Ilm beginning to think he's not so bad after all! He IS cute, even if he is dead from the neck up. Flowers, eh? Well, well. Excuse me a minute. I'm going to go and phone Herman!! 31 EIGHTH GRADE OFFICERS First Row, L.

UE TO present world conditions, wc, the pupils of the Eighth Grade Classes, have been doing many things for '4Victory during the school year, 1941-1942. The crisis has made it possible for every one of us to show his loyalty to our country by cooperating in the many patriotic ac- tivities which the school has provided. Every boy and girl had the opportunity of working in the junior Red Cross Service Clubs. The girls kept busy with knitting and sewing, making their Red Cross caps, as well as mittens, sweaters, utility bags and other articles. Several bags were filled with the articles donated by the pupils. The boys made various leather articles which were sold to earn money for materials. Scrap paper was no longer crumpled up and deposited in the waste basket to be burned. It went into a stack to be saved for national defense. In January nearly all the pupils passed Re- gents Spelling and donated their notebooks to this cause. The paper was sold and the money given to the Junior Red Cross. Through the study of history, current events and civics, we gained a better understand- ing of democratic ideals in the American way of life. Out of discussions in these classes we learned the advantages of democratic privileges and freedoms in contrast to the ways of dictator- ship. We believe that the eighth grade is up to par on news of the front line of defense. Mrs. Johnson, our history teacher, who retired in November, was given a tea by the Junior High School faculty, at which several eighth grade girls helped to serve. In English classes, a patriotic essay contest was sponsored by the D.A.R. Three mem- bers of our classes won prizes. WVC learned much about the freedoms guaranteed by the Bill of Rights in this activity. We also studied patriotic stories and poems which gave us a better under- standing of loyalty and the value of good citizenship. In our new Honor Booklets, we kept a score for ten different citizenship activities, thus emphasizing the proper attitudes of good citizenship. Included in these topics were: Attendance, Application, Thrift, Neatness, and Oral and Written Class Work, Most of us worked very hard to increase our scores, thus we improved in conduct, scholarship and citizenship. In the third quarter there were 39 pupils on the honor roll. Many facts were learned concerning health conservation in science and safety classes. Nu- trition units gave us an understanding of the relation of food values to a healthy body. In First Aid we learned the importance of knowing what to do in an emergency. Knowledge of safety rules has undoubtedly prevented many careless accidents. Discussion of Victory Gardens, making posters of patriotic slogans, and planning patri- otic themes for our bulletin boards are a few of the other activities we have enjoyed in relation to patriotism. Thus we might call this a patriotic year since we have given our service to our country in many ways and have tried to prepare for future needs. VVe have been instructed toward a bet- ter understanding of American ideals, citizenship and ability to do our work correctly. VVe feel that efficient cooperation of all junior citizens will help to bring success to the United States. From the men behind the guns to us junior citizens behind our desks, we are all fighting for one goal-- Victory ln 32 ROOM 2 Firrt Row, L.

OFFICERS VER since last September our hobby has been to build a good reputation for our grade. We are content in the knowledge that we have attained some measure of success along this line. In the early part of the year we elected certain people to help in classroom activities. In the 7-1 group Calvin Spaulding was elected President, William Kuhns, Vice-President, Sylvia Feldman, Secretary, Doris VVinf1eld, Treasurer, Joyce VanDeMark and Charles Rollins, Ushers. The 7-2 group elected David Geller, President, James Baker, Vice President, Helen Knauf, Secretary, Jane Pace, Treasurer, Aurilyn Wright, Librarian, Ruth Tilly and William Vincent, Ushers. The 7-3 group chose Edith Howe, President, Robert Whitmarsh, Vice-President, Betty York, Secretary , Frederick Bogert, Treasurer, Shirley Vincent and Walter Seeley, Ushers. In all sections of the Seventh Grade the boys were very active in football, basketball and other seasonal games. All sides had a fairly good average. The Junior Red Cross kept every Seventh Grader busy. The boys made leather novelties which were sold and the money used for materials. The girls made utility bags to send to the soldiers. The 7-3 group chose as its motto, '1Buckle Down to Business, which came in very handy when some forgot and began to lag or got careless in their work. In one group a United States army camp was established in which class members served in all offices from Private to Captain. One of the most interesting experiences of the year was the town Homeville project. The whole grade was divided equally into several groups. Each had its own business to run as it would be done in real life. Much valuable knowledge and experience was gained as a result. In connection with Geography and English, each person had an opportunity to make speeches and to go on imaginary world tours. Many historical events were written up and dramatized. Several members of the class were in choir, band or orchestra, A few people were good enough to play over the radio with the band at Ithaca. Another enjoyable entertainment had this year was the St. Patrick's Day party held in the gym. Everyone had a grand time and many won prizes which were defense stamps. In all sections of the Seventh Grade, Honor Booklets were made and kept all year. In these a record of our subjects was kept and it told us whether we had improved or failed in them. At the end of the year we either had the proof of a good year's work or realized that we should do better during the coming year. This grade appreciates and wants to thank the Faculty and Student Council for the many interesting and amusing assemblies. They were enjoyed because of their educational values. 34 ROOM 1 First Row.

Yes, these and others are the words which those present at the Public Speaking Contest hear. Wfhat they don't hear are the trembling knees and pounding heart of the young, bright-eyed Owego Free Academy student who is giving the speech. However, the kind faces of the Kiwanians put the student at ease and soon he has them spell bound with his fine oratory. There are many who are not familiar with this custom. For their benefit then, we should like to review its origination, purpose, and program. The Public Speaking Contest was begun in 1935 with the intention of promoting public speaking in schools both from the standpoint of interest and development. Up until this year, the topics were chosen from different divisions in the school, such as art, music, homemaking, English, history and so forth. Each speaker represented one of these divisions. This year, however, the stu- dent speakers were asked to choose their own subjects and connect them with defense Victory. In short, they told how some subject taken in school or some activity outside of schoolf'h'1ay help them and you to win this war. Twelve speakers in all are chosen. Every month for four months beginning in February, three of the speakers hold sway before the Kiwanis Club which presents them with a luncheon. One student out of each group of three is voted as the best speaker by the members of the Kiwanis Club. In June the four elected ones compete in a final bout before the public in the Owego Free Acad- emy auditorium. Upon this occasion, the Kiwanis Club awards first, second, third, and fourth prize loving cups to the speakers. This laudable custom is one of the best in the school. The students are very glad and honored to give their speeches before this group of distinguished congenial men. We students of the Owego Free Academy hope that this custom may become a permanent one in future years. If you can think of a word that means educational, cultural, fine, and splendid then that is the word which should be applied to the Public Speaking Contest. 38 JOUR ALI M CLUB First Row, L. to R.-Frances Chrystler, Betty Woodburn, Phyllis Covello, Marjorie Chubb, Hazel Granger, jean Knier, Helen Krenek, Marian Decker, Jennie Robison, Doris Johnson, Louise McNeil.

HE Journalism Club is one of the most important activities carried on in the Owego Free Academy. This is especially true since it acts as a publicity agent for the entire school and all its individual departments. Not a week passes by without the hustling footsteps of the various re- porters being heard as they scurry through the halls gathering their news. Since weekly editions are published for both Owego papers, the Owego Times and the Owego Gazette, a large number of students are included in the staff. The staff consists of an editor-in-chief, two associate editors, typists, and two reporters from the music, art, agriculture, homemaking, woodworking, and machine shops and physical educa- tion departments, All the reporters who are serving on the staff have voluntarily offered their services. Thus, the compensation they receive for their work is the satisfaction of extending school spirit and acquainting the public with the school. Each member must willingly assume the responsibility of writing the assigned department's news, weekly. The set up for the Junior High Classes has a somewhat different arrangement. In this in- stance, the vice-president of each class writes the news for his grade and hands the material to Mr. Tripp who in turn gives it to lN'Iiss Pfistner. This year two new attractive features, The Hall of Fame and Bits and Blurbs have been added to our news. Every week The Hall of Fame describes a person in the high school who holds some title, has shown some talent in a particular line of school work, or has become famous or popular by doing some creditable deed. KBits and Blurbsv is a column containing little personal events that have happened in the school. These two articles have attracted the attention of many more students and other readers. Each week they eagerly look forward to the person who wins the honor of being in the '4Hall of Fame. Under the patient and competent supervision of Miss Pfistner, the Journalism Club has be- come a success. The Journalism Club wishes to express its appreciation to its reporters for their co- operation and sportsmanship in getting their articles in on time. These student journalists hope that their wolk has been satisfactory as each one takes a personal pride in having his work well done. 39 ORCHE TBA HE blasts of the trumpets, the whines of the clarinets and the squealas of the strings as they tuned, signihed the readiness of the orchestra to make its First public appearance of the year at the Senior Play. This was followed by the Annual Spring Concert. The orchestra also made an appearance at the Kiwanis Final Public Speaking Contest and lastly at the Commencement Exercises of the class of 1942. Many recruits joined the ranks to help make this yearis orchestra performances better than ever. These recruits were Private lN-iurray Tyrrell, Private James Baker, Private Robert Hartman, Private Harry Taylor, Private Edward Hall, Private Thomas Bryant, Private Eleanor Taylor, and Private Jane Pace. If these people practice at home instead of sneaking out A. W. O. L., they may be promoted In to a rank equal to that of Concert lviaster Jeanne Yancey.

Band getting started for another event common in the career of this organization. This year has opened new fields to our band. Members were greatly pleased when they were taken along to supply music and morale support for the team at the Horseheads and Elmira Heights football games. Saturday, March 2l, marked a big day for the band. They were asked, as guests of the Boy Scouts, to play for a broadcast over station WHCU in Ithaca. According to our fans at home, the broadcast was a complete success. The O. F. A. band is now classed as a symphonic band. Instead of being just an ordinary band that always plays marches, our band is now in the class that plays waltzes, overtures, charac- teristics and, of course, marches, equally well. Besides the things already mentioned our band is always on hand for Memorial and Armis- tice Day observanees. It is always on hand for football games and never does it fail to supply good music at the Tioga County Fair held annually in Owego. Our school should be proud of its band. It has, in the past two years, risen to great heights among the bands of the surrounding areas. For its size and class, our band is one of the best Bands in the Southern Tier. Fran!

All CHOIR USIC is one of the best ways to keep up the morale of the American people. With this fact in mind the choir this year has worked harder than ever for the advancement and knowledge of truly good music, The outstanding achievement was the Christmas assembly program with its great significance. It was a colorful program including a realistic manger scene and a candle lighted processional and recessional. The Music Department sent a number of its choral members to the Music Clinic at which they took part in the mixed singing, Those who participated were Monica Doyle, Doris johnson, and Charles WVest. Erva Kunes was selected but was unable to attend. At the Annual Spring Concert the choir gave a wonderful exhibition of singing. Its workings were highly praised by many attending persons. It could not help but be a success with such music as Were You There, Our Glorious America, Ava Maria,', and Grandma Gruntsf' ranging from the sublime to the ridiculous. The choir is looking forward to another year of music and activity. The members who are now graduating will surely remember their activities in the High School Choir.

LTHOUGH thirteen is said to be an unlucky nu mber, our Senior Class didn't seem to consider it as such. Despite this superstitious belief, the senior play was presented on the evening of Friday the thirteenth with a cast consisting of thirteen actors. The play was about the turning point from child hood to womanhood in Penny Wood's life. Her childhood days are suddenly ended, when her Uncle hlerwyn brings home a college chum to spend the weekend. This college chum, Roger Van- Vleck, is gifted with money, good looks, a big line and everything to make a girl's heart beat faster. Everything turns out well in the end as Roger gets a cold shoulder from everyone, and Chuck Harris, the boy next door, get his main ambition. The play was directed by lXIrs. Sada M. Turner and lvliss Barbara Sandford. The auditorium was filled nearly to its capacity both nights, lhiarch twelfth and thirteenth, and we, of the Senior Class, consider the play a huge success. 44 s to go to the Tech, which is OPPOSITE PAGE Top4Make-up time.

TUDE T COUNCIL HE Student Council began its second year of operation under the new constitution with the elec- tion of a president and vice-president by the student body. During the two following weeks representatives were elected at the various class meetings. After its organization the Student Council began its routine work. This year the question of Financing assemblies was the Council's most pressing problem. Since nearly all students wish to have frequent assemblies, the Student Council tried to secure as many as possible with the funds that were available. Many good assemblies were obtained including some by the world's best enter- tainers. Throughout the year the Council tried to represent the wishes of the students. Its members constantly attempted to make the school day more interesting and it is hoped that its efforts were reasonably successful. DETROIT CLUB OR over twenty-six years members of the Detroit Club under the enthusiastic direction of Al Hubbard have made an annual trip through the Great Lakes to the city for which their club was named. These Eighth Grade boys from the Industrial Arts Department earn money for their expenses by selling candy bars. To be eligible for the trip each boy must sell at least forty boxes of candy during the school year, and do they do it! THE FUT RE FARMER OF A ERICA HESE days the farmers of America have a new by-word, Food for Victory. The Future Farm- ers of the O. F. A. are doing their part by gaining knowledge at school and applying it to their home farms. Among the highlights of the year were the rallies, speaking contests, Farm and Home Week, Machinery Repair Week, and the National Future Farmers' attended by David Monell, local presi- dent. At the fall and spring rallies, the boys from F. F. A. chapters in surrounding schools com- peted in wood sawing, running, softball, basketball, horse-shoe pitching, and indoor games. They placed Hfth in the fall rally which was held at Spencer. At a tree identincation contest at Ithaca, LeVerne Scott placed eleventh out of two-hundred fifty who competed. A Machinery Repair Week, was sponsored under the direction of Mr. Davis of Cornell Uni- versity where the farmers could get such implements as plows and mowing machines recondi- tioned. The farmers cooperated very well and we hope that Victory has been brought that much closer. 47 1. Ray Cornwell carries the ball against Vestal. 3. These boys try some new aerobatics during 2.

NOTHER year raised its head in Owego and once again footballs were sailing through the crisp autumn air as Coach Phil Hubbard attempted to build a team around his six returning veterans. On September 20 the whistle blew, Owego kicked off to Towanda and the season was under way. They rolled over an inferior but fighting Towanda Squad. The team looked very good and Coach Hubbard and the Owego supporters had high hopes. On Saturday the 27, Owego showed its class by rolling over a highly publicized Vestal team 19-7 in a beautifully executed game. Owego was now obtaining recognition with its HT formation. The Red and Blue showed it was no fluke by rolling over Painted Post, Waverly, Watkins Glen, and Horseheads to stretch their string of victories to 13. Owego was now considered unbeatable and the championship was taken for granted. Once again the Red and Blue treked to Elmira Heights to play for the coveted honor of being cham- pions. They were in perfect condition and very confident, perhaps too confident, for the Heights eleven pushed Owego all over the field in the first half to lead 12 to 7. The Owego fans were stunned, as was Coach Hubbard. He, however, did something about it, for in the second half Owego scored three touchdowns in less than seven minutes The game ended, with the Owego men still champions, winning by the score of 27-19. These boys were given many praises and acclaims and the townspeople appreciated the fact that this team had helped put Owego back on the map. Hats off to a great team and a grand coach! Long may this excellent combination be remembered. 50 Q' L- 2 2 A515 5 6 M iq, 5 1 qu, 5 024335, gill' Mas. if figs 'nl Ll , .4 A ,F if l fi. , 0, L Two V i ,d:5 P V W YEARS i s : , 1 ' 1 M , M Q ' ., X ,Six . 5 ia A .F X 'w - 'f , CQ, ,, A V .5 A - 1 Mn- I V V - in '51 4-W , ,. , I fl' A R as ff: ,,.Lk .L 1 f ig: gf kr 'k t X A um ,, , lgigf ' ' ' ab! t 3 + i b Qt., -,.,v 'v V is if ' A ' ' is 'f H, f -- ' .1 1 1 5, f Z I 51 BA KETBALL First Row, L. to R.-Walter Bradley, Louis Stella.

NCE again Coach Hubbard successfully moulded together a team of veterans and inexperienced players into a championship team. The team this year tied with Elmira Heights for the Southern Counties Lea ue cham ionshi and became runners-u in the Annual Sectional Tourna- g P P P ment. During the season the team won twelve out of sixteen games, scoring a total of 796 points, or 278 more than their opponent's 518 points. Owego started off its season by conquering three non-league teams: Newark Valley, Towanda, and Vestal. The fourth game, our first defeat, was a victory for Johnson City. Owego then started on its league campaign, and in the first half of these games overthrew VVaverly by a score of 34--15. They Completed the first half of the league games totally victorious, by also winning from Elmira Heights, Horseheads, Watkins Glen, and Montour Falls. Beginning the second half of the league games, they again overwhelmed Waverly and were riding high until they were upset by a 34--24 victory for Elmira Heights. This was the final league game in which Owego was defeated. This game, and Owego's victories during the remaining league games, tied our team with Elmira Heights for the league title. Two more non-league games gave them one victory, a 50-19 decision over New- ark Valley. The other, a thrilling hard-fought battle, in which the boys did their best to recover from a 16 point handicap, finally brought them a close, 44-41, defeat from Johnson City. In the Section 1V Class B tournament, the team won its first victory over Windsor, 72-34. This was Owego's biggest score of the year. Delhi also met defeat at the hands of the Indians, 4-1-29. In the championship game Owego met Vestal in the hardest battle of the season. This was a nip- and-tuck battle all the way. The teams were tied several times, and neither could keep the lead. 52 It was decided when Vestal made the final tally during the last two minutes of the game, breaking the tie and winning 36-34. Thus Owego met its fourth defeat of the season and received the trophy for second place in the Section 1V Class B tournament. Bob Woodburn, capable leader of the team, and Jack Schmitt, winner of the individual scoring honors of the league with 139 points to his credit, are to be congratulated for their part in making the season a successful one. Connie Martin, Chet Mantei, and Bob Lyke are also worthy of honorable mention for their ability. The Junior Varsity, otherwise known as the Papooses,', also waged a number of successful battles this year. These boys have the Fighting spirit and we can expect to see them working on the varsity in the future. In their preliminary games they have shown their ability in many thrilling contests. Although we shall lose Bob Woodburn, Chet Mantei, VValter Bradley, and Bob Lyke from both teams, next season promises to be as successful as this has been. VVith pride in the boys, their Coach, and their school, we can say to the team, Ever onward toward Victory!

Four matches were played, two in the Triple Cities and two at home. The team, however, did not win any of the matches, It is undecided whether or not there will be a team this year, but if there is it is expected to be better than that of last year, since there are only two regulars gone, Bill Geller and John VVatkins. TRACK HE first warm rays of the spring sun brought out a fair-sized group of potential traekmen. Al- though track is a minor sport in the O. F. A., last yearls team had a record of which it is justly proud. By winning first place in six of the track and field events, the Owego speedsters, strong men, and jumpers won their initial meet. This was a six team event, held at Binghamton. For their other meet, Owego traveled to Oneonta. This meet was the Section IV, Class B Sectionals. Here the O. F. A. Indians repeated their previous performance and carried home top honors. VVith practically the same squad as last year, this year's team promises to be equal to that of forty-one.

Volleyball! It 'inc-ts a high percentage of enjoyment. This year the interclass tournament in volleyball aroused keen competition and gave each girl a change to match her skill with that of members of other classes. The end of the season found the seniors victorious, but it must be mentioned that the sophomore girls had them worried now and then. Individual scoring competition was keen-the results showing Virginia Baier, sophomore, ahead with 48 points, Marion Goodrich, second, with 47 points and third place of 43 points, a tie between June Spencer and Lucille Whitney.

No class games were played this year but each night the girls played a little scrimmage instead. Ithaca Llollege held a hockey playday for the high school girls in which five of the O. F.

It is the purpose of the O Club to encourage girls to play for the fun and enjoyment of playing, rather than for the desire to defeat an opponent. A girl may choose any sport she wishes, with a choice of hockey, basketball, volleyball, baseball, tennis and badminton. The girls of this organization participate in many activities. The most popular among them are the play days. On these occasions members who take part in the play days are given the opportunity to meet girls with mutual interests from other schools, and a spirit of friendliness and good sportsmanship are always the keynote. The membership has always been large, averaging about sixty girls a semester. In the forward position of the OU Club was fun-loving Elizabeth Thomas, assisted in her duties by Evelyn Bogert, Vice-President. Other members of the cabinet were Ruth Inscho, Secretary 5 and Florence Covello, Treasurer. This group of officers with the capable cooperation and help of Miss Carlotta Crosier successfully guided the O Club through a busy season of activities. Beginning with hockey in the fall, the girls were off to a flying start, and ended minus that Eve extra pounds. Volleyball and basketball took over their interests with the arrival of the cold weather and the seniors took the honors in volleyball. The OH Club aided national defense by collecting tinfoil and canceled postage stamps. Boxes were placed in each homeroom and all students cooperated in this drive. Thus the O Club marches on! Health, happiness, and good fellowship come to those girls who have taken advantage of this opportunity which our school offers. 57 Top-Clin-f'r Lozidcrs, Left to Right'--Virginia Baicr, Evelyn Bogvrt, Robert Travis, Lucille Whitney, Betty Woodburn.
