FLoRENcE BURGER -15 5 i il? 7 6 Jwzofv A l 3- OUT H IN ACTION DEDICBTION T HAS LONG BEEN the custom of the graduating class of Owego Free Academy to dedicate their yearbook to the person or ideal that has been a source of inspiration to them. This year they have chosen to dedicate their efforts to the theme, 4'Youth and the Futurefi They believe it best summarizes the aim of their school life labors. It is to youth that the World ever looks for solution to the problems that are inherited from the past. More than ever today the hope for a future lies in youth- a youth that must be prepared to deal with all the economic and political crises of a scientific age. To youth belongs the future. In their bright lexicon there is no such word as failure - and it is Well, for it is in this philosophy that the expectations of a progressive as well as a peaceful world lie.

STEELE Q . THE SCHOOL BOARD Wle the students of the Owego Free Academy would like to express our apprecia- tion to the members of the School Board, who, with the aid of Mr. Morgan, have succeeded in making this one of the finest schools in the district. Were it not for their complete and sincere interest and their continuous efforts to transform the school into what it is today, we students would be completely without the modern and up to date equipment found in the laboratories and machine shops. Because the training and education which we receive in high school is our greatest hope for complete democracy in the future, we thank you, the school board, for giving us a good start. I ROBERT H. Form -3- 6 MESSAGE if FROM OUR ' SUPERINTENDENT Q 4 MR. W. G. MORGAN To THE STUDENTS OF OWECO FREE ACADEMY: It has been said by our elders many times for many generations that the happiest days of your lives will be those spent while you are in high school. Of course, there have always been many interpretations as to what is meant by happiness. Some of us think that happiness applies only to the time spent in extra-curricular activities such as athletics, band, future farmers, choir, MO club, and that our school life should be one round after another of such activities with a minimum of time spent in classes in the study of thought-cultivating subjects. Yet, for many years when the people who have graduated one or more years previously, come back to visit us after having been employed or away at school, they always mention the thrill they have had over success they have had in some dillicult subject under the guidance of an excellent teacher. It is predicted for all of you that as time goes on, you will find pleasure and value in perform- ing the difiicult tasks in school as well as in performing in the recreational activities. Will you give thought to both points of view as you proceed toward graduation? Very sincerely yours, W. G. MORGAN -9- s J f 5 1 -H J MEET THE FACULTY f U 5 QE .'

THE SENIORS Early in September. with the help of Mrs. Mallory, the organization of the Senior Class of 1947 was effected. The election of such capable officers as David Geller as president, ,lohn Fuller as vice- president, Helen Knauf as secretary, and James Baker as treasurer, together with Donna Lockwood. Doris Winfield, James Grimes and Calvin Spaulding as student council representatives, assured us of achieving all the goals that we had set for ourselves. The main goal of our Senior Class this year was to graduate with the reputation of having attained the highest marks of any class that had ever graduated from O. F. A. By choosing this for our aim we felt that we would not only develop our talents to the utmost, but that we would leave a record which would stimulate the classes following us to try to rival. The first step in our campaign was to secure the cooperation of the whole class. By working intelligently and earnestly at class meetings and social functions, a spirit of ood created. Through participation in such fields as public speaki football, and senior play, each student tr' d Our h g fellowshi ng, band, orcl ' ie to make hi - ' ' ard work w ' ah d p was iestra, choir, basketball, s contribution toward the record. as rewarded when honors were received by several of us. Eugene Kemp, who a entered the Vllestinghouse Talent Search Contest, won an honorable mention on a nationwide basis. 'Third prize in a state contest on bus safety was awarded to Thomas Johnson. Among other awards were those given for excellent work in football and basketball. The presence of ex-service men in our group made us realize the wisdom of our resolution to make the most of our educational opportunities. Their membership was a constant reminder of the world problems that still awaited solution by a youth that would soon be living in the future4a future that would tolerate no alternative but solution. That is why we decided to grasp, while there was yet time, all the knowledge that we could-that when our turn came to guide the future we would be well pre- pared to set a course which would make that future bright and promising.

WILLIAM WHITE DEAR CLASSMATES- It was a real pleasure to be associated with you for the past four years and a great honor to be your class president these last two years. Now that the time has come for us to part from our Alma Mater and from each other, I deeply regret the parting, for I have come to know and like all of you. As we go out into the world I wish you one and all the greatest success and the best of luck in everything you do. Sincerely, DAVID A. GELLER President of Class of 1947 -21- THE JUNIORS CLASS OFFICERS Frnnl Row, L to RfM. Thomas, Student Councilg J. Hartman, Vice President: F. Kwiatkowski, Presidentg S. O'Brien, Sec- retury. Second Rau'-Mr. Grimes: L. Kies, Treas- urerg R. Tassey, Student Council: G. Shrauger, Student Council. ELLOl were the class of 748 who though not seniors, are beginning to glance back with pride and regret upon the passing years and with anticipation to the coming year. There is pride in our hearts because we know we have sincerely tried to master all the knowledge brought to us by our patient teachers-the knowledge that will help us decide right from wrong in a world that will soon be in our hands. And there is regret for the passing of these years with their youthful enthusiasms, good times and learning experiences that our future will be built upon. So in this junior year we have made the most of our opportunities. We have studied hard and and have taken part in many extra-curricular activities. By participating in these activities, we have been fitting ourselves to be sound in body and mind. Several girls belonged to the MON Club, and many a junior girl was among those who limped from a banged chin or a skinned knee, by-products of a basketball or a volleyball game. On the cheer- leading squad, three junior girls contributed much to morale building at crucial moments during football and basketball games. And of course, several junior boys were on the football, basketball and baseball teams. These boys played a big role in bringing the athletic year to a glory-winning end. In February the class sponsored a dance called HClub of Heartsf' which was held at the Elks Auditorium. This was a success, both socially and financially. Then in May, the class held its annual Junior Prom which also, though it took many hours of enjoyable planning, was a gay and gracious social event of the year. To help raise money, many dances were held after basketball and football games at which Hpopn and hotdogs fthe indispensablesj were sold. The class contributions to the school campaigns during the year were organized under the capable leadership of the class president, Floyd Kwiatkowski, and here the juniors always acquited themselves with credit. All told, this year has been eventful with an abundance of hard work and pleasant memories. So, we say good-bye until next year when we shall be Lathe seniors.

Vin- cent, Vice President: L. Wiggins, Secre- tary. Second Row-E. Lynn, Student Councilg A. Donnelly, Treasurer. HE BEST CLASS ever to graduate from 0. F. A.fyes, thatls the goal the class of '49 set for itself at the beginning of the year. They realized that the surest and only way this goal could be achieved was by hard, relentless work. But they also realized that by doing this work, the sophomores would not only become the best graduating class, but also the most promising citizens of the future. After a slightly harrowing freshman year, the sophomores came through like the good soldiers they are. Some classes might be broken after the terrible ordeal which is Freshman Initiation, but not the hardy class of '49-they came out just as fresh as ever. Besides enjoying the fun and excitement of the event, they learned a useful lesson in good sportsmanship. In this second year of high school life our class settled down to a great number of subjects, rang- ing from mechanical drawing and art to Latin and biology. The people who took Latin II soon came' to the conclusion that Caesar was a big time operator and those who enrolled in biology classes be- came extremely bacteria conscious. ln English we became acquainted with the knights of old straight out of the pages of Tennyson's, nldylls of the Kingf, Those sophomores who started taking algebra or Latin I this year found themselves facing the exact problems others of us faced last year. M f b d . . .l. ,, any o our mem ers showe their athletic ab1 lty by -l01I11I1g the LOU Club or by going out for football, basketball, and baseball. Through these athletic games they not only gained physical well- being but learned the value of cooperation. They came to realize what an asset such a trait could be in their future doings. Some members of our class showed their school spirit by joining the Journalism Club, while others expressed their loyalty by becoming cheerleaders. These were always faithful in cheering our fighting teams onward. As time goes on, it is our hope that our class will grow better and better. Wie are confident that with so many earnest students concentrated in one class, we cannot help but merit the title we have chosen for it. 'I WWW? SOPHOMORE BOYS First Row, L ln R-C. Wood, L.

Haeling, Secre- tary. 5 WE BECAME freshmen. we realized that our coming high school days would constitute the last and most important link of our training in the Owego school system. We began high school life with some fear as to what the future would bring, but with a great deal of courage, too. The seniors soon made some of our fears a reality. As the usual course of procedure, we fresh- men underwent the trials and tribulations of initiation week-a week full of as many discomforts as the seniors could possibly devise. Most of us lived through this though, and were glad when we could get hack to our natural way of living. Since our entrance as freshmen, we have taken many different courses in order to finish our schooling at Owego in the way we wish-so as to be prepared for our life work in the future. Along with such required subjects as social studies, English, and general science we are enrolled in classes that are representative of courses other than the purely academic. Many of us are taking college entrance courses, while others are studying business, shop, homemaking and agriculture. With the variety of opportunities that is given us in school we may, if we so desire, follow any course in any field of work. There is no goal that is impossible to reach. We have also had an excellent start in extra-curricular activities. Many of our members are en- gaged in some line of sports: football, basketball, baseball, Girls HO Club, and many others. Others of us are enrolled in different clubs, such as the Journalism Club. In the music field we have people in choir, band, and orchestra. As spring came along we found our class president, Robert Toft, who had been in the United States Navy and had returned to finish school, was leaving us. Our vice-president, Robert Toepke, took over the office for the remainder of the year. The Class of '50 has among its members quite a few honor students. Wie hope to k tradition of the Owego Free Academy in leaving outstanding marks in ' eep up the many different fields. .-26, s 1 - . Cunset, Treasurer . oepke, Vice President, R. Toft Presidentg H.

Education is a mighty force, and, if used effectively, young people can be trained to utilize these new discoveries and inventions properly for the benefit of mankind, rather than its destruction. Educa- tion in ideals must not lag behind scientific progress, or youth will have inadequate preparation to meet the demands of the future. Greater attention must be given to health, character, and the ability to cooperate. Education is an investment in democracy, if proper training is given in citizenship. The eighth grade is an important step in this training for here we have received the fundamentals of our future progress. Our English classes have given us not only the basis for literacy but helped us to inter ret l'f h , - - p 1 C, t rough composition and literature. Mathematics is necessary to finance, but application of its train- ing in accuracy is imperative. Social Studies is vital for it has shown us the importance of intelli t , gen citizenship, and our relationship to other nations in the western hemisphere. Art or music may provide a career for some of us. Current Events kept us informed in the present Jroblems f th ld h I - o e wor t at point the way to the future. Health and Physical Education have helped us to keep physically fit. We have also become aware of harmful practices which may injure our health. Safety education has taught us to cope with the dangers of the coming age. VVe have had enjoyment and also valuable training in music activities and sports for proper use of our leisure time. The eighth graders are very proud of their members in both music and sports for many boys and girls have taken an active part. ln homeroom meetings we have learned to speak our views before others and have Gained - . f l d ' ' ' l'Il0CI'3.Cy. , g a sense o ea ership and cooperation valuable in our de- Thus we believe that our education in the eighth grade will be effective as fundamental training if the basic knowledge and patterns of conduct are properly applied to meet future demands. All its activities have played an important role in our lives. Wie hope that an appreciation of the values of our training this year will help us, as the years progress. as citizens of tomorrow, to take our part in fulfilling the promise of our country's greatness in the future.

Although this was our first year, we have enjoyed it as much as the veterans, the seniors. We became acquainted with the different rooms and teachers. Each room elected its own officers who in turn appointed committees to help with such things as parties and bulletin board arrangements. We were proud to have Mary Kinney and Esther Toepke chosen from our group as representa- tives to the student council. Many of our members have taken part in the noon activities. All have contributed generously to the various drives: Red Cross, Polio Fund, etc. Social Studies have helped us appreciate the far-reaching results of our forefathers' vision which gave us the privilege of a free education. Our youth should have a good education because of the increasing amount of scientific knowledge in the world. Also, every boy and girl, if possible, should go to college. ln the future we will have atomic energy to be used wisely and we must have well educated men and women to control this unbelievable power. Vile have learned to be criticized, to be courteous. honest and ambitious. Wie hope to carry these traits all through high school. They will be of great help to us in the future. The prosperous and progressive citizens of tomorrow are going to be clean,neat, law abiding, co-operative, understanding and active citizens. They are the students of today who are active participants in school activities. who show good sportsmanship, who are on the honor roll, and who are preparing themselves to accept their future responsibilities. Look at the dissatisfied citizens and kickers. They will be unprogressive, untidy, and law-breakers. They will cheat to get anything they want and will always do wrong. This is only because they have allowed themselves to develop these same habits in school and havenit cared to do anything about them. If we train ourselves in understanding and co-operation when we are adults we should make for better Citizens of Tomorrow. lt is up to us to make this world what it should be. 130, 1 'I Nl 5 ' SEVENTH GRADE BOYS Front Row, L to R-W.

POSTGRHDUATES and VETERANS HIS YEAR, besides the Postgraduates, there were also many Veterans who returned to continue their schooling. Most of these boys had attended the Owego Free Academy before, but a few had not. Although our number decreased somewhat during the year, there were still quite a few who 'aweathered the stormf' Almost every subject taught in school was being studied by one of us at one time or another: commercial subjects. academic subjects, music, art, etc. Many postgraduates returned to finish up courses once started, or to take subjects they had always wanted to study, but which previously had not fitted in with their schedules. Most of the veterans had not graduated, and so came back to school to obtain enough points to do this. Among us there was also represented almost every type of extra-curricular activity: uChuck,' Yancey, 4'Boot', Bradley and '4Autie Lowry led in sportsg Bob Hartman with his trumpet and Jenny Lou Ziemer with her voice were tops in the musical line, Dorothy Barden was a cheerleader for footballg Jean Russell was a cheerleader for basketball and a majorette with the band. But now that the year is over. we are looking forward to varied futures: some to jobs, some to college and a few to returning to O. F. A. again next fall. Whatever our plans, we know that many responsibilities will be ours as the youth of the future, that to solve the problems in this postwar world, to live in the so- called atomic age, we must be equipped with a thorough education. Thatis why we came back to school this year. We all know that now, right here at 0. F. A.. we have been pre- paring for not only our futures but for the future welfare IIB of those that are to come.

TOM T OM STAFF SCH YEAR the Tom Tom Staff seeks industriously to make that particular year's publication tops in every respect. The 1946 edition marked a decided achievement along advertising lines. The stati of l947 set out to break that record and it is quite evident that it has succeeded in reaching new heights. To Mr. Ellis goes well-deserved recognition for his excellent work in respect to the layout and photography of the Tom, Tom, which, together with his general supervision. has made our yearbook a success once again. To Mrs. Ellis and to Miss Lukash, who were new on Tom Tom work this year, we extend a well-earned gratitude for the time and effort which they expended on the commercial and literary phases of the book. An analysis of the literary sections shows that. with the exception of those for the Junior High and certain activities, most of the write-ups for the Tom Tom were written by the members of the Senior Class. We can be especially proud of the art work for the Tom Tom this year. which was done entirely by art students of our school. School, without question, is one of the greatest factors in preparing us for the future. Our well- rounded curriculum at thc Owego Free Academy makes it possible for us to branch out into a variety of fields of activity. Vive have tried. therefore, in this Tom Tom. not just to mention the events of the year. but rather to relate them in terms of the future. hoping that when this future dawns we will have occasion to look back with pride upon the Tom Toni of l9lT.

PUBLIC SPEAKING The ability to express one's self with assurance is an ever growing need in a world of keener competition. This thought alone makes public speaking one of the most important extra-curricular activities i11 the school. This yearis Public Speaking Group was one with ambition and a goal. This goal. preparedness for the future. was aimed at by all and. if success in speaking and writing is an indication. its members can look forward to great futures. This yearis class spoke before Kiwanis at the rate of three every two weeks. Each week one member of the group was chosen best and given a chance at the debating at the end of the year. This years topic for debate was well prepared by all and enjoyed thoroughly by the audience. WYILLIAM WYHEI-ILER FUTURE FARMERS New methods and ideas are being discovered every day in the agricultural field. These innovations are being adopted by the agricultural schools and presented to the students in order that they might apply them to the operation of their own farms. We of the Owego Chapter of Future Farmers of America have studied these ideas, and have put them to just such practical use under the guidance of our instructor. Mr. Spicer, who supplements much of our class room instruction with field trips. These trips have helped us to understand the advantages and disadvantages of different methods of farming and of the new ideas that might be applied to them. x Our chapter has also taken part in school athletic events. Though our basketball team played in -only a few games, it fared well and madc a good showing. DONALD Gown PUBLIC SPEAKING Front Roux L In R-S. Chandler, R. Cowan, H. Bahny, A. Brinser, D.

Here, for the tenth successive year, a group of boys and girls met to form the Journalism Club. Miss Dorothy Goodrich, faculty advisor of this club, acted as chairman until the oflicers were elected. MDode Winfield, a member of the senior class, was elected editor-in-chief, and Mildred But- lien. a junior, became assistant editor. Various topics, such as assemblies, sports, foreign correspondence, and different classes, were assigned to each club member. He, in turn, would make a write-up. and give it to the editor, who would have it published in both the Owego Gazette and the Owego Times. 'oreign correspon ence was a new opic a mi e in o ie c u iis year. ince so man ' 0 ie IF d t dttdttl Ibtl, S yftl language students are now writing to pen-pals all over the world, they decided to tell others about it. Practically every week a new and different country was heard from. lt is hoped that in the future more correspondence will be acquired, thus promoting greater internatlonalism. This is an excellent way for U. S. citizens to become acquainted with the condi- tions which exist in other countries. Several issues of the school newspaper, HThe Tomahawkf, were published by the Journalism Club. One feature that will long be remembered by the O. F. A. students is the gossip column, other- wiselknown as we specf' Other attractions in the Tomahawk were poetry, composed from different English classes, personality write-ups, and articles from the sports field. This year we were allowed from three to five sheets of paper, instead of the previous two. for the HTomahawk.', This enabled us to have more school news and activities written up. In March our faculty advisor, Miss Goodrich, was replaced by Miss Phyllis Mead, who has also proved to be a capable supervisor. The members of the Journalism Club wish to extend sincere thanks to these two teachers who have made this year a profitable one. DOLORES KINNEY BARBARA Go WAN v - ap ev B.

UDENT COUNCIL ded to continue our democratic way OW as never before, leadership for the future is greatly nee of life. It is such school organizations as the Student Council of the Owego Free Academy that build leaders by actually practicing many democratic principles of government in their procedures and duties. The Student Council for this year started in the fall of 1946 under its president, William Vin- cent, and vice-president, Sheldon Butlien. It was composed of four representatives from the senior class, three representatives from the junior class, and two representatives from each of the other classes and grades. As usual, this representative organization of the student body planned assemblies for the school year. One of the most pressing problems which faced the Student Council was a method of raising funds for assemblies, but after much discussion and investigation, a plan was finally agreed upon. The Student Council ruled that regular meetings should be held on the second and fourth Mon- days of each month, and that special meetings could be called by the president when any important business arose which required immediate action. Individual mimeographed copies of the school con- stitution were printed for reference use of the Student Council members. During the year, the Council planned to arrange for the showing of several motion pictures which were shown at the regular assemblies. They were both educational and entertaining. According to plans for the future, all honor society should start functioning next year as an extra-curricular activity, for the purpose of promoting school spirit and raising or keeping up the scholastic standard of the school. This honor society will be part of a national organization which X will help its student-members to gain entrance to institutions of higher learning. , The youth of our schools are truly building for the future while they acquire an education, for l th obtain through such organizations as the Student Council will help them to f re. the experience ey become intelligent and well-informed citizens of the utu WILLIAM VINCENT I I Frou!

ORCHESTRA HE Owego Free Academy Orchestra, like many other school organizations this year. showed what it could do for youth in the preparation for their future. This orchestra. directed by Mr. Edwin Cook. had a membership of some thirty odd musicians who rehearsed weekly on Tuesday and Vliednesday noon hours. Many of these students planned to make music their life work and so received some very valuable experience from participating in the organ- ization. Others. though they did not expect to carry on with their music after they graduated. learned to play instruments that will give them enjoyment in the future during their leisure time. The orchestra made several a Q earances this 'ear. the first of which was a Jrogram for the Christ- ' lp g ' 5 l c 1 mas Party of the Parent-Teachers Association. The next appearance was made at the SBIIIOI' Play in April when the orchestra rendered Hbetween-the-actsw numbers such as Chopinis 'llVIilitary Polon- aisefi Bizetis Hlntermezzof' and Cluck's '4Air de lialletfi On May second. the orchestra traveled to Candor to participate in the county music festival as an individual organization. Many of the orches- tra were also included in the massed county orchestra. This was a most enjoyable and helpful experience for all of them. 1 3 . 54 A small pit orchestra of seventeen members was chosen to play f. the orchestra score for the Gilbert and Sullivan Operetta i'Pinafore', 1 which was put on by the vocal department in May. The orchestra found X f that accompanying soloists and a chorus was much more dillicult than ly . playing regular program music as they had in the past. f The final orchestra appearance was at the June graduation exer- X cises. where its music was an enjoyable feature of the commencement program. sy This year one-third of the orchestra was composed of seniors. who, i in leaving the halls of O.

HELI-:N KN.-XLTF ll BAND HE importance and appreciation of the hand in American life is shown hy the music written for it. encompassing every type from Nic-Xamarais Bandi' to George Cershwin's 'Strike up the Band. 'llruly the hand ranks equally with the footlrall or hasketlvall team as a representative of the school. It demonstrates to the pulilic the fact that the student is appreciative of good music. whether it lie Wagner. Sousa. or Jerome Kern. Although primarily intended as an aid in acquainting the student vvith good music and eualuling him to play some instrument with a reasonahle amount of dexterity. the High School Band performs many other functions vxhich rank high among the stellar events of a school year. The marching luand accompanies the footliall team on all of its journeys and at home as well. Besides offering encour- agement to the team it provides stirring music for the enjoyment of the spectators and greatly' adds to the color of high school athletics. ln its preparation for its annual concert and for the county music festivals the student gradually learns discipline and cooperation. valualtle assets to his future life no matter what his vocation. :Xt the concert. late in March. the lvand again displayed its musical talents under the alrle baton of its conductor. Mr. Edwin T. Cook. ln addition to these performances the Uyvego Free Academy Band participated in the county music festival at Candor and also had the privilege of playing at Cor- nell Lrniversity, supplying music for a portion of the southern tier basketball playoffs. It is with perfect justihcatiou that the memliers of this organization say they have had a highly satisfying and most successful year of musical accomplishment. JAMES BAK ER Fran! Razr. I. lu R-,l.

DANCE BAND WING and sway with the O. F. Af, But how could you do this without the help of the Dance Band? Many of the members of this organization were new this year. Although they were new, after hard work and with the help of the old members, a Dance Band to be proud of has been accomplished. The fourteen piece band played at many dances and assemblies during the year. Money earned by the band was put in the treasury and at the end of the year a delightful picnic was held. Some of the money earned was put toward a wire recorder to be used by the Dance Band, Senior Band and Orchestra. This recorder, when it is purchased, will prove to be very useful to this organization. Although the leader, Mr. Cook, played the solos and melody parts, other members of the band sometimes took the lead. Maybe you have heard 4'Tucky,, Cook playing her tenor sax, 6'Bob'7 Codner tinkling the ivories, or MChuck', Estey giving Mr. Cook a rest by taking a chorus on his cornet. MBetty'7 Overlander gives out with the lyrics very capably. During the year several new songs were added almost as soon as they became popular. Some of the new numbers were very tuneful but the Dance Band still plays uCoodnight Wherever You Areii as its closing song. As time goes by, more songs will be written and the members of this organization will change, but we are sure that whoever is in Dance Band in the future, will try his best to make it a good one. Louise llfTCNEIL -40- 9 GlRL'S CHOIR USIC plays a great part in preparing youth for the future. What a different world this would be if its people could live in complete four part harmony. This year under the very able leadership of Mrs. Julia M. Evans, our choir has given many won- derful musical selections. At Christmas time the Girls, Choir sang Mlingle Bellsv by Pierpont, Mjesu Bambinov by Yon, 4'Cold December's Wintry Blasts, a Catalonian Carol and 4'Touro-louro-lourof' a French Carol. After many months of hard work the operetta HH. M. S. Pinaforew was given. Music combined with lovely costumes left the 0. F. A. audience wondering whether they would have rather lived at the time of lively Josephine and the mighty British sailors or at the present time. Surely this wonderful portrayal of a love affair on a Boyal Navy boat thrilled all the listeners. The members of the Girls, Choir made up the cousins and aunts of Sir Joseph and followed him everywhere he went. Jose- phine, the lovely daughter of the Captain, was played by Betty Overlanderg Cousin Hebe by Mar- jorie Reig and Little Buttercup by Aurilyn Wvright. S0 you can see the Girls' Choir had a real part in the operetta. In early May the 0. F. A. Girls' Choir went to Candor for the county spring festival. Here they sang uThe Swallowsf' NSalutation, uMighty laki a Bose and H0n WiIlgS of Song? The girls in Girls' Choir have realized the value of music in their future lives. They have learned to cooperate and by doing so, have made their programs a success. These girls may not all be great opera stars, but they will have a better understanding of the Word harmony and they will be able to apply it to their ways of living. Lois YATES I 1 Front Row.

HE first big program on schedule for the Mixed Choir this year was the Christmas program. Mrs. Evans deserves a rising vote of praise for making it the huge success that it was. There was a variety of music. both serious and joyful. all of which added to the Christmas spirit and to the enjoy- ment of the capacity audience. Our choir was versatile because the next time it was heard it had completely changed its char- acter and in place of seriousness had donned the garb of comedy and much elegance in the rocking operetta Hpinaforew by Gilbert and Sullivan. The play concerns a common sailor, Ralph fportrayed by Jeannine Conklinfl in the Queen's Navy who has fallen in love with a lady high above him, Josephine flillizabeth Overlanderil who is also the daughter of his commanding officer Captain Corcoran fRobert Barzykj. Likewise little Buttercup, fAurilyn Wrightj a peddler woman, has fallen in love with the Captain himself. Class pride, how- ever, stands in the way of the natural inclinations of both the Corcorans. The Captain. in fact, has been arranging a marriage between his daughter and Sir Joseph Porter, First Lord of the Admiralty fwilliam Vincentj who is in a social class above even the Corcorans. Everything ends happily when Buttercup confesses that, when she was young and had taken care of Ralph and the Captain as babies, she had mixed them up. It turns out that Ralph is actually the Captain and may marry his heart's desire. and the Captain is really a commoner and may marry But- tercup. Aurilyn Wright as the capricious Buttercup quite brought down the house with her antics. and Dick Deadeye was a villian indeed. I mention these two in particular because their roles were on the humorous side, and for that reason I think they will dwell in our memories longerg but each and every one of the actors were suited to their parts.

The curtains opened and there you stood-dumbfounded at the size of the audience, the bright lights and completely devoid of any idea of your lines! The backstage crews were in action. The prompter gave you the first cue and you sailed off. As the play progressed the electrical crews changed the lighting, the make-up department restored your wilting complexion and the costume help had your uchangesv ready. Not to forget the fact that the ticket committee was responsible for selling tickets, the ushers for seating the audience, publicity department for attracting the public, and Miss Goodrich for directing the play. No, the cast didn't forget their lines and the play was a success, but it was largely responsible to the work of the backstage crews. Actors alone do not make a play.

BASKETBALL 1TH the return of many veterans from last year's basketball team. the Red and Blue developed into a veritable powerhouse this season. Sparked by the high scoring Yancey. center Jim Grimes and '4Boot Bradley, the O. F. A. quintet won seventeen of its twenty-one games. Casting off the stigma of an unexpected first game defeat by Towanda, 33-31, thc only defeat of the season at home. the Indians upset a highly favored Johnson City quintet 50-47 in an overtime period. Despite the revenge of the Wildcats in the return match, Owego won six of its eight non- league games. Owego then crushed Vffaverly, Elmira Heights and. with the gym of O. F. A. packed with spectators, defeated Horseheads, last yearis league champion. After swamping Watkins Glen, the In- dians sustained their first and last defeat in the league at the hands of Newark Valley. Settling down to work again, the Owegoans swept through their league opponents a second time. topping it off by coming from behind to edge Newark Valley 62-60 on the Owego court. Thus Owego ended in first place in the Southern Counties League 'having won nine of its ten games and leaving Elmira. Horse- heads and Newark Valley tied for second. In the sectional playoffs, Owego downed Elmira Heights 59-42. and then walloped Horseheads 64-52, thus winning the right to play the strong Norwich team in the Section IV quarter-finals at Cor- nell. Though rated as a slight pre-game favorite. the ordinarily high scoring five were at a loss to hit the basket, which, coupled with frequent bad luck. brought about an unbefitting 50-28 defeat. Highlights of the season came when Yancey, in finishing as the individual league scoring cham- pion. set a new school scoring mark of 30 in the second game with Newark Valley. only to have a new mark set by Grimes a week later when he scored 31. The students of O. F. A. are proud of this year's squad, which proved that it had the true mark of champions, the ability to come from behind and win. This characteristic, so desirable in all walks of life. is one that should hold them in good stead when they face the problems of the future. GENE KEMP 1 A f 9 f 5 ? J,i 'Y First Row. L to RfR.

It was almost mid-season, however, before the team shifted into high gear and from then on won five consecutive victories. The team's only defeat was met at the hands of a much lighter Towanda eleven who upset the ulndiansi' to the tune of 20 to 14-. The following weekend Owego journeyed to Cortland where, minus a first string end, fullback and half-back, they were tied 19 to 19. Waverly was the first team to succumb under the crushing attack of the warriors. Playing mostly a defensive game because the field was a sea of mud, the Red and Blue came home with a 7 to 6 victory. Vestal, confident of victory, invaded our territory the following Saturday but the stalwart Red- men rose to the occasion and the Bears went home very sober after a crushing 20 to 12 defeat. Owego's most deserving victory came the next weekend as the team dispersed a highly touted Athens eleven and sent them scurrying for home in the wake of a 27 to 0 defeat. The biggest score of the season was won by the team the following week as they took on Painted Post. Confident of victory at all times, they withstood repeated attacks of their hosts and returned home with a 21 to 20 victory. The climax of the season came as Elmira Heights marched into Owego and gave the Hlndiansn a battle for their money as well as the spectators. This was by far the most thrilling game of the season as both teams, drilled to peak conditioning, battled for the much-desired supremacy of the Southern Tier Class A schools. Only after a slam-bang battle that saw both teams playing superb football did Owego emerge as the victor on the long end of a 27 to 21 score. Thus the team ended a very successful season in a splurge of glory, much deserved, not only because of their own efforts but also because of those of Chief Hubbard whose coaching skill mold- ed together a fighting team long to be remembered in the portals of O.

Spencer, W. Mahar, .l. Donnelly. NDER the supervision of Coach Hubbard the noon hour basketball program got under way late in the fall of last year. In the Senior High League three teams were chosen and a 4-H team was later added in the schedule. Very exciting games were played and many new boys got their first taste of basketball. Four rounds were played and here amazin l h' h g y lg scores of 52 and 55 were attained, show- ing that fast basketball tactics really pay. In the Senior League at the onset, Spencerls team was seen to be leading the ranks with a one game edge. Schweiger's team, sparked on by two brilliant forwards, took over after Spencer left to join the Junior Varsity. Numerous defeats were hand d C d' l e ar mer s team, who won two games. The 4-H team also won two games. In the Junior High League four teams were also chosen. Although the little fellows didn,t get as much out of their games, they learned the basic ideas. In the Junior League there was tight com- petition. The teams were evenly matched d an , as a result, there were very few runaway games. The games were so close that no team stood unbeaten. Looking back over the season, we discovered that wheth Th ' er we won or lost made no difference. e real essentlals were that we had fun and that we learned to get along with our fellow team mates. Although noon hour basketball never shaped a person's career, it has served as a stepping stone for the backward boy who is looking for a chance to t k h' ' a e IS place among his fellow human beings.

BASEBALL After a lapse of baseball in the 0. F. A. since 1929, the game has been resumed, under the man- agement of Coach Crimes. The interest among both players and spectators has been great. On April eighteenth a baseball rally was held in the auditorium. The program included high school talent on the subject of baseball and a talk by John Gee. pitcher for the New York Giants. Our first game was May second, at home, and on Memorial Day Owego played Newark Valley, a very strong rival. Also, two twilight games were held for the spectators who couldn't see the after- noon games. The schedule and results of our ball games will be published the following season in the Tom Tom. XVILLIAM KLHNS CHEER LEADERS At the beginning of the school year many girls eagerly anticipated being chosen as cheerleaders. They practiced at home and in school for the final tryout which was to be held in a few weeks. Once the group was chosen. the drilling began in earnest. At least two nights a week the girls could he heard throughout the school rehearsing 4'The Locomotive. MCr-r-r Fight and many other favorites. During the year these cheers could be heard on football field and basketball floor. spurring our teams to victory. SHIRLEY Sroovs A51-- GIRLS' BASKETBALL The girls in the liasketball group have ended a very successful season. The different teams, which were chosen every Tuesday and Thursday. were composed mostly of freshmen and sophomores. The individual scores this year were all very high with Mary Morgan. Genevieve Seaver. and Eunice Knauf as high scorers. The girls' basketball season of l917 will be remembered for a long time for the fun enjoyed under the capable leadership of Mrs. Clark. Those who participated in this yearis games hope that next yearis season will be as successful. TXTARY MoRC,xN SOCCER New to 0 Club girls was the exciting game of soccer. which took the place of last yearis ground hockey. Some girls must have spelled and understood it as sock her. for this sport's period certainly ended with plenty of bruises and the development of extra muscles for the winter's games. But when the chill wind quickened the pace of the game and excitement ran high. no one thought of the hazards but only of the fun and exhilaration that accompanied the playing of this new sport. l-Ii'xrci:KNx1 If liASKK'l'BAI.l. lfirsl Rozr.

During the year girls stayed after school to form teams and to play against each other. The losers were always good sports and were willing to try again. Keen eyesight and strength are needed to put the ball over the net. Our gym teacher has helped very much in developing our abilities so that we play volleyball with skill and ease. GERALDINE JI-IWETT BIARY ELLEN lVlL'RPHY GIRLS' SOFTBALL Spring arrived, trips were made to Marvin Park, and the aff, Club opened its softball season. Much talent appeared on the playing field as many newcomers joined last year's players. Through the guidance of Mrs. Clark, teams were soon organized and the games began in early spring. Some girls received enough credits from softball and other sports to merit an NU. but whether they did or not they all agreed that they had an enjoyable time. Ims AUMOCK M53- SUVOIZII Rau'-lf.

HYSICAL and social fitness should be acquired while students are still in high school Many Uirls of the O. F.

A. girls took the opportunity to grasp them. Our year was started with lively games of soccer at Marvin Park. a game that baffled many' at first but was soon grasped by our alert minds. The sports of former years were played throughout the winter. Tl ' l -k ' f ' ' ' ' ' ' ' iese were was etball. volleyball and softball. all enjoyed by the various groups of glrls which attend MO'7 Club. Tennis was first played by our MO Club members this year The tennis court ' d f was jamme a ter Mrs. Clark announced tennis would begin. Some of us haven,t quite learned the technique of handling a tennis racquet but we have found the game to be interesting and exciting. Physical fitness is accomplished through the playing of our many sports Social fitness is found at our meetings and banquet. Sportsmanship is brought about by the interchanging of teams at each meeting. All these activities tend to make us better citizens in the future. Any member of the 'GOT' Club could truthfully say that the aims set up at the birth of the organization have been fully ac- complished and that she has experienced a most enjoyable year. V 4 The year was finished with the annual banquet at which HOU Club members part as true and loyal friends, hoping to meet again in S t l i l , f our enjoyable high school days. ep em wer yt it 1 tie riendly atmosphere that carries us through I Jovcis VANDENIARK ,.54... x s v-ir! 74:4 'gauaece was and 76-une when ado ageecvz an Me payee haue dedpeci maie the Zack paoedlle, Do 4 gnad ww df, ,mmngwq Mem, SuPPorter's Cards A Friend Paul Andrews Jute Box Agency Margaret Baker Rev.
