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

E IOR GIRL' LETTER T0 Owego Free Academy Owego, New York June 15, 1942 Dear Jim, I know that even in your busy moments in camp your thoughts often wander back to the O. 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
