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-

MR. CHARLES ESTEY MR. WILLIAM GAY DR. DUBOIS JENKINS MR. H. LYNN KEYS Q . i MR. HUBERT L. SMITH MR. JAMES R. 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.
