H If GOREHEH FOREWORD Q nation plunged into total war depends mainly on its peace-time traditions to keep up morale. It is the duty of these traditions to live up to former standards and to exem- plify the high ideals for which the nation fights. Such a tradition is our yearbook, the Tom Tom. Since 1924 the Tom Tom has been the outward symbol of the spirit of the Owego Free Academy, a truly democratic spirit. This year, the Tom Tom represents our firm belief in the triumph of those democratic ideals for which boys from our school are fighting and perhaps dying, and our confidence in a future where all men will be free. In the nation's all-out war effort we feel that we can best do our part by working, both in school and out, with victory our only goal, victory in which the Four Freedoms will be the common birth-right of men of every creed and race. The Four Freedoms: Freedom of Speech and Expression, Freedom of Religion, Freedom from Fear, and Free- dom from Want, are rightfully the heritage of all the peoples of the earth and must be guaranteed to all in the peace which is to come. IVIAY DONNELLY DEDICATIO E, the students of the Owego Free Academy, together with millions of other high school students, are a factor in upholding the peace-time American traditions upon which war-time morale is based. Wle are trying to do our part to preserve these American ideals and standards of living for which our men are fighting. An example of these traditions is our year-book, the S'Torn Tom. The boys and girls of the O. F. A. have always taken a great deal of pride in their annual which exem- plifies the democratic spirit of the American student. For years they have turned their efforts toward making each edition better than the year before. At present many of our former students are busily engaged in various phases of our nation's war effort. Boys who, a short time ago were students in the O. F. A., are now in the armed services giving perhaps their lives to preserve those cherished American ideals and traditions, the Four Freedoms. Therefore we, the present students of the O. F. A., take great pride in dedicating this 19-P3 edition of the Tom Tom to all those former boys and girls who are so valiantly giving their services to uphold our treasured American traditions: Freedom of Speech and Expression. Freedom oflReligion, Freedom from Fear. and Freedom from W'ant. MARIAN COLEMAN x ' if A f I 'vm an f ,,,.-I ,, M +5 W if ,.,1 f Sw - 'li ,, , ' we- is W' , X 1 , , -, 1 kb' i K 4 ., 2. ..

MORGAN, Superintendent To the Students of Ozecgo Free Academy: This year you boys and girls have had to work harder than has any group of students in many a generation. First, you have had to work because of the great number of changes in subject matter in our schools. Secondly, many of you have had part-time positions to the extent of almost full-time work. This has, of course, been due to the general shortage of manpower. All this is only a part of the struggle that the Four Free- doms may become forever supreme in our democratic way of life. Not only this unprecedented effort now, but greater effort in the days to come will determine whether we will continue to live in a land of democracy or labor in a lancl of servitude. It is up to you to continue your efforts, as I know you will. Only in this way will the question in regard to our way of life be forever answered. Si1zre1'el,1f yours. W. G. MORGAN 8 BOARD OF SCHOOL COMMISSIONERS School Days! School Days! Dear old Golden Rule Days! A few years ago, when we thought that many years of school lay before us, we didnit appreciate the truth in this song. Now, when so little more awaits us, we realize, perhaps too late, how wonderful these days are. Six men are responsible for the splendid equipment and good times that we have. These men make up the Board of School Commissioners. Members of the Board are Dr. Howard Noteware, Presidentg Mr. Lynn Keyes, Chairman of the Equipment Committee and a member of the Teachers' Committeeg Mr. Donaldson Lowry, Chair- man of the Budget Committee and a member of the Teachers' Com- mittee, Mr. William Miller, Chairman of the Teachers' Committee and a member of both the Building and Budget Committees, Mr. Hubert Smith, Chairman of the Insurance Committee and a member of both the Building and Budget Committees: Mr. James Steele, Chair- man of the Building Committee and a member of the Equipment Committee. With no compensation, these men work diligently to make our School Days as pleasant as possible. Thank you, Gentlemen. We are proud and very grateful to you for giving so much of your time to make it possible for us to enjoy these wonderful days.

THE E IOR CLASS LL spring, the Seniors of the Owego Free Academy anticipated the merry month of June with but one thought: Now it,s our turnf' In former years, Seniors have had mixed feel- ings at graduation time. Some have been anxious to get into the world and shift for themselves, while others have disliked having to end their school life. But we realized that we must each take our place in the fight for the ideals that the founders of this democracy set up for us so many years ago. The war played havoc with the activities of the Senior Class and with the population of the Senior Study Hall. Many of our group dropped out of the Band, Orchestra and Choir so that they could take defense courses. A number of the boys who would have graduated with us went into the armed services. Although we regret that they could not have stayed to enjoy the rest of their senior year, we are extremely proud of their decision to serve the nation. Several of the Seniors held places of honor in the school and had their measure of fame. Joe Loftus Hlled that all-important office of President of the Senior Class. Jack Schmitt had the honor of being captain of both the football team and the basketball team. As President of the Student Council, Murray Tyrrell was unanimously elected and proved to be a very wise choice. But fate intervened and in March, Murray joined the Navy. Mrs. Turner again scored a triumph with the direction of the Senior Play. It was a hilarious comedy in three acts entitled, Ever Since Evef' Yes, now itis our turn to put our education and training to the test, a far greater test than we even expected. And to those members of the Class of '43 who will soon be fighting for the U. S. A.---g'Three Cheerslw BEVERLY KEYES 14 HELEN IRENE ATCHISON Aubby', Commencement Usher 35 Senior Play Usher 4.

Now in Armed Forcesj SENIOR PRESIDENT'S LETTER Dear Classmates, It is with deep pride that I write to you concerning the past four years spent in the O. F. A. These years have been packed with fun and study, and with many sports and activities which have kept our minds and bodies strong and alert. Whenever asked to assist or cooperate in any class activity, you were always eager to respond. This is why our class, one of the best to ever graduate from the O. F. A., has been so successful. This year more than ever we have had to look out for ourselves. We are going into a bitter world, a world where most of our young men and women must support the war effort, either in the armed forces, or in industry.

Our freshman year was just a chance to get started and our sophomore year gave us an opportunity to grow up. As a result this Junior Class has had more spirit and cooperation in doing things than any other class in our school's history. For president we chose Robert Espe, who has held this ofhce for three years. Our class also had the honor of having one of its members, May Donnelly, as Student Council President. The main event in every junior year is its Prom. But do you think we waited for that? We gave two class dances previous to thc Prom to provide funds and also to give the student body something to do evenings when gas and tires fyes, girls, even fellowsl are rationed. These dances brought a total profit of over eighty dollars. Anthony Stella as Prom Chairman and a very helpful and cooperative Com- mittee made possible this dance, which was held May fourteenth at the Elks, Auditorium. The music was provided by Spiegle Willcox and his ten piece band with an additional girl vocalist. Sport activities? Yes, we were tops in that, too!! The varsity basketball team was made up almost entirely of junior men. Among the leading players were l'Stonewall Jackson, Ant,' Stella, Bob Espe, and l'Casanova Fletcher. But let's not forget the girls! Virgie Maen Baier, Captain, and Loretta Pudge Jerome, and Dot Jamesson were the outstanding girls of the class. If you think this class went places this year, wait until you see the class of '4-4. With the spirit and enthusiasm displayed this year, we can't help but be the best class to graduate from high school.

The summer passed and September came sooner than was expected. We all came back with many new ideas. Most of our new pupils came from 'Tioga Center. An assembly was held for them and they were welcomed by everyone. In class meeting we elected the following officers: Scott Smith, President, Bernard Loftus, Vice- President, Betty Woodburn, Secretary, and Margaret Wallace, Treasurer. Our Student Council Repre- sentatives were Beverly Bendle and Robert Travis, and Class Advisers, Coach Hubbard and Miss Hamil- ton. With such a list of fine officers and advisers the class was off to a good start. In the Held of sports we were well represented by our boys. We had Ed. Lockwood, Scott Smith, jimmy Schmitt, Bernard Loftus, and many others. Well do we remember the game so long awaited with Vestal. It was the most exciting game ever attended. Near the end of the time the score kept getting closer and closer. Coach put Ed. Lockwood in and he played splendidly, making a couple of baskets. We know he had a great deal to do with our winning. Our boys did so well last year that we warn all the teams that play the school next year, Beware of next year's Juniors! The girls did well in sports, too. They played the other classes and won or lost in a fine sporting manner. Their fine playing was due to Miss Cunningham's splendid supervision. At the games the cheerleaders were a valuable asset. Two of the leaders were from the Sophomore Class, Betty Woodburn and Bob Travis. Several members of the class were prominent in the music department. Some were in band, choir and a few in the orchestra. Talent was shown by many in that field. Eleanor Taylor was the leader of the drum majorettes. She was good and we were very proud of her. Theresa Fahl wrote some cute jingles this term for the 'STimes.,' She gave some broad hints to many of us. There were many others who belonged to the Journalism Club. Our daily assistance in work for the paper helped make the school news interesting. Very good work was done by our class for the yearbook. lVIany were on the Tom Tomi' staff. The majority of these pupils were assigned to the advertising section. It kept us stepping to get everything done on time for the printer. WVe also had some ever faithfuls in our class. These were people who went with girls or boys from their class or with pupils from the other classes. The only teacher we all had was our English teacher, Mrs. Blanchard. Next year we'll miss her oral book reports and diagrams. We all had a very interesting year. Many had very high marks and if this continues it will be difficult to pick our valedictorian. Next year we are going to have more fun with the Prom and other dances and social gatherings. This last year was a most successful and happy one for all of us. May the incoming Freshman Class enjoy the same good teachers and fine times that were had by the Class of 45.

As you gaze at the pictures on the opposite page, you see one of the best, the most intelligent and the most progressive Freshman Classes in the history of the Owego Free Academy. We may not look it, but you know it's the brains that count. Last September when we entered the school, we were skeered of them thar furriners, the Seniors. They were kind to us and for the first time in a number of years we were not initiated. Some of us had some difliculty getting around, at first, for we were unfamiliar with the school. When we were supposed to be walking into the Biology Lab. we walked brazenly into the Chemistry Lab. Now, however, we are so familiar with the building we could walk it in the clark. We showed our super wisdom when we held our first class meeting at which we elected Harold Arnold, President, Louis Bradley, Vice-President, Jennie Lou Ziemer, Secretary, Mary Ellen Donnelly, Treasurer: and Miss Sandford and Mr. Peabody as our class advisers. ' The Freshman girls organized a basketball team which played after school many nights against the Sophomores. Our boys didn't have so much to do in regard to basketball because they had too much competition from the older boys. Many, however, were on the football squad in the fall. The Freshman Class was well represented in the choir, and if they keep on they will be ahead of the high and mighty Seniors. There were many girls such as: Patricia hlallory, Eleanor Brown, Laura Foster, and Lucille Hoskins who were drum majorettes. They were so good they were asked to take part in the haughty Junior Floor Show held this spring. We did our best to make a good impression on the teachers. Even Mr. Hetherington will have to admit we did our best and Miss Sandford knows we know so much about short stories, dramas, and lyric poetry that we could probably teach a class ourselves. For something diH'erent we gathered together our nickels and dimes and gave the school a surprise by showing the Film, The Lady of the Lake. You see we didn't want to be the only ones not to do something for our school. We had a number of super intelligent students who were on the high honor roll all year. Most of us, however, were on honor roll, which is another feather in our cap. Well, now it is about time to close for, you see on account of the war, we are not supposed to use too much paper. However, next year be sure to look at the Sophomore picture in the Tom Tom and see how much we have improved in looks and read underneath how much more we have gained in intelli- gence.

As our generation will be the one to plan and build the post-war world, much educational work will be necessary to bring about greater initiative and thinking power. We of the Eighth Grade Classes also understand that it is as necessary for us to extend our knowledge as it is for the High School Students, some of whom will soon be joining the armed forces. Last year was called a patriotic year, but this year our aim has been to make this not only a patriotic but a scholastic year. With this as our goal, we strove for higher marks in our endeavor to master Eighth Grade work. In our arithmetic, we were taught many new and useful principles by Miss Fitzgerald. Adaptations of the Army and Navy Tests showed us the importance of being accurate in interpreting and solving mathematics problems. Miss Catlin broadened our knowledge of grammar and taught us many points of composition. Ability to interpret and follow directions was stressed. History including civics, as taught by Mrs. Hayes, gave us a better understanding of what our forefathers did in establishing the Constitution and its principles of freedom and democracy. In silent reading, we read and learned to interpret many patriotic poems and prose selections. In science and safety, our weekly periods were spent on units con- nected with our daily problems and taught us how to take care of ourselves mentally as well as physically. These lessons have helped us to understand the ideals of the American way of life and have added their bit to help us become better Junior Citizens. To break the monotony of our seemingly never-ending studies were many extra-curricular activities. First, of course, came our class organizations. After we were thoroughly acquainted with our new teachers and each other, we held our class election. We later elected Donna Lockwood for our Student Council representative. Frequent class meetings were held in which parliamentary rules of procedure were car- ried out. This gave us good training for future citizenship activities. The officers were very eH:1cient in learning to take responsibility in carrying out their duties. Soon came the end of October and Halloweien with the annual junior High party. Everyone enjoyed the games, refreshments, and singing of popular songs. The pupils were dressed in every type of cos- tume from aristocrat to lowly tramp. Prizes of defense stamps were given to those with the best costumes as well as to those receiving the most points in the games. Later on came Christmas and our Christmas homeroom parties. Everyone enjoyed refreshments and a present. These parties were heralded with great expectancy and helped to brighten a year of studious work. The Eighth Grade also took great interest in and enthusiastically supported the scrap-drive. The depot in front of the school was filled nearly to capacity with contributions ranging from pins to rubber boots. As the saying goes we killed two birds with one stone not only by gathering scrap to scrap the japsf, but also by cleaning out our cellars and attics. Another activity to aid the war effort was helping to fill kits for one of the largest contingents leaving during the winter. By doing this we added a little cheer to the hearts of the men that left to serve our country. Thus, we came to the end of another school year which helped us to a better understanding of what our country means to us. It also gave us a greater knowledge of the important part education will play in bringing about a speedier and lasting peace.

Everything seemed so strange that almost all of us wanted to run and hide somewhere. However, our new teachers and associates were so friendly that we soon felt grown up and very important. Class meetings were one of our happier occasions. The first business was the election of our high oliicialsf' We thought it fun to hold these meetings and have our presidents take charge. It was in these periods that we organized squads who went out to track down scrap by eyes, ears, and even smell. We think we turned in more than our share. Time was flying by with startling rapidity when, like a great black cat ready to pounce upon us, up popped Hallowe'en. We were going to have a party, and for two or three days ahead of time you could find jubilant, snickering Seventh Graders almost everywhere in the building, playing pranks, if they had a chance, and going around with a saintly, innocent look on their cherubic faces while inside they were miniature volcanoes ready to erupt. Miss Catlin sponsored the party where we had a most enjoyable time munching apples and playing games fitting to the festival. Many pupils of our grade were music minded, eighteen belonged to the Junior Band and fifteen to the Orchestra. X The members of the Seventh Grade belonged to the Junior Red Cross one hundred per cent. One of our most worthwhile projects was collecting mirrors, pins, postcards, and other items suitable for packing in soldiers' kits. Two girls from each room helped to assemble these for the junior Red Cross. Seventh Graders could boast of two good athletes. Burton Bennett and Clifford Thompson were players on the junior Varsity basketball team. Watch these boys climb to star positions in the future. In January Mr. Tripp enlisted in the Navy and left us for the Sampson Naval Base. William Bur- dick and Howard DeWitt journeyed to see him one week-end. Since his departure the 7-2 grade has had five teachers. Every Friday during the second semester we listened to a radio program entitled, journeys Behind the News. We had large individual maps to study while listening. These broadcasts greatly promoted our knowledge of the geographical world. Perhaps they might help to make some second MacArthur. Who knows? - The first year of junior High for the wide-eyed, ex-grammar school students has moulded the foun- dation on which life occupations will be resting. Whether it will be strong and durable or weak and flimsy, will be answered by time.

In the summer of 1941, as it became visibly evident that there would be a great need for skilled men, a fine new machine shop for the boys of our Owego schools was installed, and, as the installation was being completed, an overwhelming demand was made by many men in the community for an Adult Training Program in machine shop work. With the opening of school in September, 1941, the new machinery began running, not only for day classes, but also for night classes for adults. These classes ran until four o'clock in the morning and many of the men who enrolled had only part-time jobs and were willing to report for this so-called Owl Shiftf, This gave men with full-time jobs an opportunity to enroll in the earlier classes. All of the firms in this area who at that time had large defense contracts, gave us a great deal of help and encouragement in the installation of the machine shop and in providing instruction therein. The International Business Machines Corporation in Endicott, already knowing of the future need of men, loaned three men from their plant to start this work: Mr. Robert J. Craver, who became Super- visor of War Training Classes and Machine Shop work 3 Mr. Albert Pangborn, and Mr. Chester Bosket. Following Pearl Harbor, developments were equally rapid. Owego Free Academy was one of the first schools in the state to train Senior boys in high school in these defense classes, and was also one of the very first schools in the state to permit Senior girls in high school to enter the defense classes. Following this, Owego Free Academy was one of the first schools in the state to offer training to adult women. Because of the rapid progress in the Machine Shop work, the Federal Government has been most liberal in financing not only the ordinary operations of the Machine Shop for War Training Courses, but also in the financing of new equipment, which comprises a second Machine Shop. This shop installed during the summer and fall of 1942 has become the advanced machine shop. Much credit is due the Board of School Commissioners of this village for the excellent backing they have given the program, as well as to both Mr. Morgan and Mr. Craver, who have spent many long hours planning the work and the lay-out of the Machine Shop. Many additional hours of traveling over the eastern part of the United States seeking and purchasing machinery was done by these men. Mr. Ellis, Mr. Andrews, Mr. Dowd and Mr. Morey have handled much of the basic teaching in connection with these courses and have done an excellent job. Most of their teaching in connection with these de- fense classes has been done after a full daytime teaching schedule. At the present time the average daily attendance in the adult courses in Machine Shop is sixty people, seventy-five percent of whom are women. In addition to the Machine Shop training offered, Rural VVar Production Coursese were conducted by our Agriculture teacher, Mr. Peabody. There were three of these courses: Increasing Milk Production, In- creasing Poultry Production and Maintaining and Repairing Farm Machinery. The aim of these courses was to contribute to the total war effort by helping the farmers, dairymen, and poultrymen to increase their production. There were ninety people who participated in these classes and who received all of the best advice concerning their problems. In connection with this part of the war program, Miss Plusch conducted a course of training in Food Processing and Preserving. This covered every known method of preserving foods except actual canning. A Spotter's class was organized by our science and aviation teacher, Mr. Reed. Here adults were trained to recognize the various kinds and types of planes being flown today. Our commercial teachers, Miss Hamilton and Miss Matis, taught two of the newest classes in con- nection with adult education. Miss Matis had a class in typing which met every Monday night from seven to nine-thirty. Miss Hamilton taught a class in shorthand and secretarial practice which met each Tuesday evening. These classes were well attended. Yes, Owego is all out for victory, and every Owegoan is doing his part to hasten the defeat of the Axis. BETTY COOK 32 in ACTIVITIES TOM TOM TAFF UT of some seventy odd members of the l94l-2 5'Tom Tom stall only twenty-four were left in school in January as work was begun on the yearbook. The Editor-in-Chief had joined the armed forces: so a new person had to replace him. Similar vacancies appeared all down the line as the staff was reassembled. ln spite of rehearsals, part-time jobs, priorities and numerous other detraetions, the work progressed at a new war-time tempo. Due to the splendid cooperation of the staff and the English classes the last piece of copy was sent to the printer early in May. Thanks to everyone who helped to put this l943 l'Tom Tom over the top. Wle feel confident that this year's book will be remembered as one of the best ever published.

The play, as you remember, concerned a newspaper called L'The Penguin, whose stafl' was being disrupted by one Susan Blake, whose aspirations to be a career girl were mixed with her desire to go dancing. Then there was, of course, Lucybelle Lee, the jasmine blossom from the South, who added a heart ailment to Susanls beau, Johnny Clover and Johnnyls pal, Spud Erwin. Things were straightened out later, however, as Lucybelle's Preston Hughes, a poor man's superman, came down with measles on the night of the big dance and disclosed her Nconniptionsf' Susan got her Johnny back and the Penguin's management was settled. Mrs. Clover, the patient wife and understanding mother, was played by Lucille W'hitney. Her handsome, absent-minded husband was Stuart Watkins. The career girl, Susan Blake, was Ruth Inscho and Johnny Clover, the Penguins, editor in whose hair Susan ran rampant, was Scott Smith. Spud Erwin as 'Iohnny's bosom pal and adviser on women was Henry Calvasina. Betsy Erwin, played by Florence Covello, was Spud's troublesome sister who bothered even Cappy Simmons, the good natured Irish cop, Paul McTamney. The faculty lovebirds, Martha Willard and Henry Quinn, who were so free in giving advice to the lovelorn, were played by Beverly Keyes and Robert Keys. Lucybelle Lee's southern drawl was mastered by Lorraine Hart, and her hero, Preston Hughes, was played by Frederick Lee. Prestonls associates from the gridiron were Donald Myers, James Fahl, jack Schmitt, and Robert Sibley. Our grateful acknowledgements go to Mrs. Sada Turner and Miss Barbara Sandford for their fine work in directing the play. Thanks to Anna Tyrrell for her fine business management and Phyllis Ketch- um for doing such a good job as stage manager. Wle are extremely grateful to Mr. A. H. Hubbard and his Industrial Arts Department for our scenery, and wish to thank all others who tore their hair and lost their beauty sleep to help make a success of the Senior Play of 194-3.

The Orchestra played the march Return to the Colors and the waltz 'iGarden of Dreams. The closing number was the Star Spangled Banner played by the Orchestra and sung by the audience. The Orchestra's Hrst appearance last fall was made in an assembly program in which Stanley Wol- slegel was guest speaker. Next came the Senior Play, Ever Since Eve, followed by the Kiwanis Speaking Contest in June. Commencement was the last event of the school year at which the Orchestra appeared. Membership of the Orchestra changed materially this year. In the brass and woodwind sections were Theola Cook, Huteg Betty Wagner, second clarinet, Arlene Foster, trombone, Fredrick Barnum, second trumpet, and Charles Yancey, substitute trumpet player. Gladys Patton played the pianog William Lawrence, the snare drum, Erwin Van Patten, cymbals, and Robert Crown, bass drum. We also had some additions to the second violin section: Patricia Brown, Barbara Watkins, Sylvia Chandler, Imogene Lynn, Marian Tyrrell, and Hugh Bauer being among the new members. The three last named violinists came down from the Central School to be in Orchestra. Robert Weber was a new member of the first violin section. Burt Smith was transferred from first violin to string bass and Robert Hartman was promoted from second trumpet to First trumpet. With all of its new members the Orchestra worked most diligently this year standard of musicianship.

Phillips of Utica was our director. Then in February the draft called him, as it does nearly every other able-bodied man. Through the help of Miss lVells we managed to keep together until lylr. Tueker eame. Thank you, Mr. Tucker, for all you did in helping us to maintain our band through those trying times. This year we lost a great many of our members, some going into defense work, some into the armed forees and still others dropping out because of eonfiiet with the after-school war eourses or aviation Classes. George YVilliams, our last year's star clarinetist, is playing in the band at Camp Chaffee, Arkansas. Fred Miller is in a navy band stationed in Puerto Rico. Bob Franz and Bill Ballard are in the navy and Harry Taylor. an outstanding trombone player, is in the lvlarines. Mr. Tripp. our marching instruetor. is also in the Navy. The purpose of our program this year was to provide musie ofa patriotie nature. Our first appearanee was at the D. L. St VV. railroad station where we played for the departure of a eontingent of draftees. Our second was for the hero of Gorregidor and alumnus of this sehool, Stanley Wolslegel. Perhaps the main event of the year was at the dedication of the Honor Roll for Owego. Two of the numbers we played were lNIareh lVIilitaire and The Star Spangled Banner. We also partieipated in the Rlemorial Day parade. Among our outstanding artists were Eleanor Taylor, elarinetist and Theola Cook, Hutist. They wer entered in the festival at Vestal on lvlay twenty-Hrst. Although we had many changes in instruction and membership we feel that the year was most wort JANE BAKER while. 39 Q. h CHOIR HE Choir this vear made Considerable progress. Nlany members were veterans, having sung in the junior Choir last year. All were interested in their music' and were very eooperative, Sinee there were fewer hoys than usual. it was suggested hv Kliss lN'ells that a Girls' Choir he started. The girls were enthusiastie and their efforts were most sueressful. The voices were uniformly good in quality. and produeed, as a result. real finesse and showmanship. The Christmas program was very etlieetive. Vihile proceeding down the aisle in the audi- torium the Choir sang, O Come All Ye Faithful. The opening song was. ln a Stable in a Cradle. followed hy To Us is Born lmrnanual and O Holy Nightf' a solo, sung hy Doris johnson. The Choir then sang Birthday of the King, Today There is Ringingf' and jesu.', Then they softly sang, 'GO Come All Ye Faithful and left the auditorium. The program was reeeived very favor- ahlv. For a long time the Choir praetieed for the Spring Coneert. A large audienee attended this program and many compliments were given hy the visitors. The opening song, Old Colony Times was sung hy the Choir followed by the song, Bluebirds.', The eurtain was drawn after these two seleetions and a violin solo, uli0IIll1IH'L',l, hy Wleiniawski was played hy ,Ieanne Yaneey. After this solo the Girls' Choir sang, Chiapaneeas.,' a Nlexiean Folk Song. The girls put forth a speeial eflort in selling tiekets for the Spring Concert. They were looking forward to going to Vestal for the Niusie Festival, whieh was held May twenty-first. and no amount of work was too mueh for them. About seven hundred students, representing schools in the Triple Cities and Owego. met at Vestal Central Sehool. This was held as a substitute for the state and national musie eompetition eurtailed for the duration. About three hundred of the partieipants were solo entrants. From three hundred to four hun- dred students. members of partieipating hands and orehestras. also took part playing in the audi- torium. This was the hrst time that Vestal had played host to the surrounding sehools. The program started shortly after noon and Continued until late at night, with the puhlie in attendanee as audienee. When the results were announeed the Girls Choir had proven to he a eredit to hoth itself and the sehool hy heing the only high sehool voeal group to win first place honors. The Chorus wishes to thank all those who took part in the programs this year and who helped to make them all a sueeess.

In September, an unusually large and energetic staff was chosen with Miss Barbara Sandford as adviser. This staff included an editor-in-chief, two associate editors, twelve typists, ten feature writers, and two reporters for art, music, agriculture, homemaking, industrial arts, machine shop, junior defense class, assemblies, girls' sports, boys' sports, the Senior Class, the Junior Class, the Sopho- more Class, and the Freshman Class. In the Junior High School the vice-president of each class wrote the news for his grade and handed it to Miss Catlin or Miss Goodrich who gave it to the editor. Journalism Club assignments were posted on the Senior Study Hall bulletin-board each Mon- day morning. Articles were handed in Wednesday afternoon to be proof-read and typed. On Friday Mr. Morgan took them to the Times and Gazette who generously donated space each week for the school news. Thus the Journalism Club published the entire school and its departments and also gave its members invaluable training in newswriting. All the reporters on the staff worked voluntarily. Their only compensation for their services was the knowledge that they were promoting school spirit and making parents and friends better acquainted with the school. There was also the satisfaction that comes from doing a good job well. Due to the eager cooperation of the staff, editors and typists did not need to remain after school. Many new and instructive features were added to the news this year. Among these were: An Observerj' a column of philosophy, Know the Other Americas! a series concerning Latin- American neighbors, i'Programs Worth Listening To, radio criticisms, For Your Reading En- joyment, book reviews, Do You Know Them? quiz on school celebrities, Americans You Should Know About, articles about famous living Americans, Oft-Heard Quotations, well-known poetic excerpts, Meet the Faculty! biographical sketches of the teachers, '4Worthwhile Movies, re- views of new movies: 6'Record Releases, lists of new records, and articles about interesting classes, such as the French II and Spanish II classes. These features attracted many new readers. Under the competent leadership of Miss Sandford and through the diligence of editors and staff, the Journalism Club reached new heights of achievement. Since it was the only student activ- ity heard from weekly, the Journalism Club became perhaps the best known of all activities.

STUDENT COUNCIL i This year, due to the numerous activities carried on in our school in connection with the war effort, the organization of the Student Council was somewhat delayed. For this reason the decisions of last year's council were continued through the early part of this year. However, after the Presi- dent and Vice-President had been elected and the Class Representatives chosen, the Student Council members met with the usual problems and duties. Obtaining entertainment for assembly programs presented a most difficult problem. Many of the scheduled entertainers were unable to keep their engagements because of transportation diffi- culties and service in the armed forces. In spite of these handicaps, however, a few very enjoyable assemblies were presented for the students' entertainment. MARGARET WALLACE DRAMA TICS CL UB Last year the junior and the Senior Classes again organized a Dramatics Club for those people who had an urge to act. The idea started after a subject report given in an English III class. Once this idea got under way, it was no time at all before the club was going strong. The officers were: Philip Nichols, President, Florence Covello, Vice-Presidentg Florence Janis, Secretary and Treasurer, May Donnelly, Production Manager. Due to lateness in getting the club under way only two plays were produced, one for assembly and one for the amusement of the club. The club picture contains only a part of the members. However, look carefully for, no doubt, you'll be seeing many of these same faces in the 1944 Senior play cast. They have high hopes. PHILIP NICHOLS PUBLIC SPEAKING Early last fall, as in previous years, a call was sent out for volunteers for the Kiwanis Public Speaking Contest. The response was not overwhelming as nearly every able-bodied student was taking some defense course and time was precious. This year twelve students chose topics in which they were interested and spoke before the Kiwanis Club. Three people went once a month for four months and the winners competed in the finals which were held in the spring following a delicious dinner prepared by the homemaking girls. For the past few years loving cups were awarded the winners. However, last year and this year defense stamps were given to lend a more patriotic effect.

DR UM MAJURETTES The Drum Majorettes of the Owego Free Academy worked hard this year. From the very beginning of school in the fall they practiced faithfully. Mr. Tripp assisted them twice a week until he left for the Navy. After his departure Miss Wells helped them until April, and after Easter vacation Miss Cunningham did her bit to keep them going. The head leader of these Majorettes was Eleanor Taylor. The others were: Beatrice Patton, Doris Winfield, Eleanor Brown, Patricia Mallory, Laura Foster, Shirley Hall and Lucille Hoskins. The Drum Majorettes strutted their stuff at many football games last year and marched in several parades in Owego. They twirled their batons and marched during basketball games and at one dance held in the gymnasium. At the dedication of the Honor Roll for the boys who have left Tioga County, held April 11, 1943, Doris Winfield, Beatrice Patton, Shirley Hall, and Laura Foster were the official Majorettes. All in all the year was an active and successful one for this group. DOROTHY JONES DETROIT CLUB Oh, Mr. Hubbard, I've sold my boxes of candy. Am I glad! Now I can go to Detroit. Very often last year those words were heard around the O. F. A. wood shop. You see for many years the Seventh and Eighth Grade boys of the O. F. A. have sold candy during the school year for the privilege of going to Detroit to see the many wonders of the city for which their club is named. They see the great city's places of business and its manufacturing plants as well as its recreation centers. The trip from Buffalo to Detroit is made by boat. Yes, the boys tell us it's a great feeling to have disposed of their candy and know they are to go to Detroit with Mr. Hubbard. PAUL SAVACOOL FUTURE FARMERS The Future Farmers of America should have for a slogan Food VVill Win the Warf' because the forty boys in the fortieth chapter of the O. F. A. have been diligent and industrious at repair- ing farm machinery. This repair school has been carried on under the supervision of Mr. Peabody, adviser, Mr. Jones, a local mechanic and men from the Rural Engineering Department of the College of Agri- culture. In these schools, the boys have made machines which will last for the duration out of seriously worn equipment. If these boys keep up the good work we need not worry about the future of this country. As you would expect, Mr. Peabody has been advising his 'iAg boys to stay on the farm and produce more and more food to help hasten the end of the war. PHILIP NICHOLS 45 E IUR PLAY HOT 1.

Starting the season minus the services of some of the best athletes to f ever come rom the O. F. A., the varsity improved with each game. The Indi g oma awk to Newark Valley, our arch rival, 32-14 d - ' an 34 22, and by scalping Towanda, 33-29, in a fairly close game. ans commenced the season by twice puttin thc t h Owego played Waverly there and was nose Valley, we triumphed again, 41-26, improving on our previous scores. Next we took the Alumni into camp. d out 26-20. In our third cage contest with Newark In Vestal we met a Tartar who would not be denied. The score was 25-42. That defeat put the Indians on the warpath and th h ' ey won t e next three straight over Waverly, Towanda, and New- ark Valley. A return game with the Al ey were stopped, 36-41. The last game of this rather short season gave us sweet revenge over Vestal, 46-34. umni was too much for the Indians and th jack Schmitt, elongated sharpshooter, as captain of the team was leading scorer. He passed last season's mark of 139, highest individual score of the Southern Counties League, by tallying 166 points.

Composed of Bert Bennett, Clifford Thompson, Billy Kuhns, Jack Fletcher and a wealth of material, the team played like veterans. The combination has everything and it's a pleasure to see them in action. The basketball future looks a little shady with transportation problems and the armed forces making inroads in our 'athletic department. However, after we have thrown the Axis for a goal and the Indians return to the warpath under Chief Hubbard, they will again vanquish their foes of the hardwood.

The season was a strenuous one and there was keen Competition in the games. The teams were made up mostly of Freshmen and Sophomore girls with a few juniors and Seniors seattered throughout. lXIost interesting ol' all were the elass games between the Freshmen, Sophomores and ,Iuniors with the Fre hmen coming out vietorious.

In spite of the numerous war activities going on in school and outside, there was still time for volley- ball. In spite of the fact that there were not enough representatives from each class so that class teams could be organized, a very interesting program was carried out. The teams were well matched and all the games were extremely close. The winners saw real competition but proved themselves a good combination of players and fought a clean victorious fight.

GIRL ' HUCI EY There was a fine turnout for hockey this year. This was remarkable, too, for many of the girls were working or training after school for defense jobs. llue to the variety of girls from all classes taking part each night no class games were played. A portion of the time at each practice was spent on fundamentals and scrimmage. Instead of playing for the glory of one particular class, the girls battled for the sheer fun of it. Happily, no one was hurt and all participants felt that they had gained much in the held of sportsmanship and fair play.

HE high school girls of the Owego Free Academy have an athletic organization called the OH Club which was introduced by Miss Dean in 1935. It has been a very popular activity and most successful in its endeavors. This year there were thirty-five who joined the O Club. At the First meeting the following officers were elected: President, Evelyn Bogertg Vice-President, Doris johnson, Secretary, Florence Covellog Treasurer, Lucille Whitney. ' The credits given for the various sports are: hockey, five points, volleyball, three pointsg basketball, seven points 5 softball, three points. When the sporting season is finished five points are given to the winning team in each sport. This last is a new amendment introduced by Miss Cun- ningham, the present physical instructor. When a total of twenty points is reached the participant receives her numerals, and at the sum of forty, she receives her letter. During the year a few hikes were taken between basketball and softball periods, and a dance was held after Easter vacation. The annual banquet was held in June. At this time numerals and letters were presented to the active members.

The Treasury's appeals to buy war bonds, the government's pleas to conserve gas and rubber, the economies required to avoid inflation, the necessity of rationing many essential com- modities-all these have become vital in the minds of our people. Necessity has awakened us not only to the size of the task before us but to the fact that our future as a nation is at stake: and in characteristic fashion we-all are responding, Our hearts speak, our purses are opened wide. and regard- less of creed or color or political conviction our honest differ- ences of opinion are being dissipated before the issue that confronts us. This is the glory of democracy: That a man may think as he will, speak as he will, Vote as he will and worship God in his own way: yet in the hour of peril to the State, that which is for the greatest good of all is not only his most compelling thought but the strongest prompting of his heart. In that hour his thought is no longer of himself but of his country: and it is as though his soul were crying out those memorable words of Plato, Man was not born for himself alone but for his country. 54 E DICOTT-JOHNS EXTENDS CONGRATULATIONS to THE 1943 GRADUATES Crzmpfrtcf Lim' of Footwnzr for .iff Ocuzximz Drcxs ..,.
