This year, the twenty-fifth publication of the Tom Tom, the staff and the student body of the O. F. A. dedi- cate this book to Mr. Ellis. Mr. Ellis has done more, perhaps, for the Tom Tom than any other person. He has spent long hours and hard work to make our yearbook the success it is. We have chosen this way to express our thanks to Mr. Ellis and to Wish him luck as he continues his work on future Tom Toms. ROBERT W.

They have devoted much of their precious time to their children, the students. This year much of their time has been spent making our sports program more enjoyable for the participants and the audience. We want to thank these men for the fine equipment, building, and faculty, and for the opportunity of gaining more knowledge and pleasure throughout our school career. JOYCE ROPER THE BOARD OF SCHOOL COMMISSIONERS DR. TRACY J. GILLETTE RAY W. MANCIIESTIQR CARL SADDLEMIRE LEONARD E. PORTER LEWIS B. PARMIZRTON J. IRWIN BAXER 6 Bur upermtendent GQ W. G. MORGAN To the Students of Owego Free Academy: For most of you, I am confident, 25 years seems an eternity. However, for some of your teachers who have been teaching that long, the years have passed very quickly. Twenty-five years ago, comparatively few schools published a Yearbook. When the idea of the Owego Free Academy Tom Tom was adopted, it was a most ambitious undertaking. It is most significant that once started, the Tom Tom has been published consecutively for 25 years. Even through World War II, when the lack of material caused the pub- lishing of a great many books to be discon- tinued, it was the unanimous opinion of both those in school and in the service that this beacon light of interest should be carried on. As time has gone on the idea has become Hrm- 7,, ly established that the book should be an album of the Owego Free Academy family. If one goes through the books of the last 25 years one finds a remarkable pictorial record - one that has received national honors. The portraits, formal and informal, curricular and extra-curricular, through this medium present a unique record of high quality, which will be cherished increasingly. I am sure that this 25th anniversary volume will be outstanding in many respects. It will be one that those who follow you may look upon and one of which we can all be proud. This is to extend best wishes for your suc- cess both in school and in the years to come. Yours very sincerely, W. G. MORG.AN ffl OS, Faculty f PAUL V.

It is the goal for which we seniors have worked and striven faithfully toward during the past four years. Let us set back the time and list the many good times that will not be forgotten. Frosh Initiation! Maybe we didn't like it then, hut it is a memorable week in our school life. That year our teachers tried to impress upon our irresponsible minds the meaning of work by handing us assignments which we thought were extra long. The next year we were Sophomores. This was a year of dances and other means of raising money for the treasury. In the fall we entered school with a strong determination to eonquer Latin, geometry, biology and other studies. It was not long, however, before we discovered that it took more than determina- tion and will power to conquer such hard subjects. It took every ounce of brain power that we had, but in June' when Regents were tried and passed, we felt repaid for our hard work. Juniors? Jolly Juniors! The prom, and other important days! Our victories in foot- ball and other sports were many. Now what a glorious thought entered our minds-only one more year and a seat in Senior Study Hall. What an honor! We, at last, were near- ing the goal post. Last, but not least, came our Senior Year. We have hardly had time to breathe all year long. Frosh Initiation, the Christmas Ball, the Senior Play and the plans for our Senior Ball. What a good time we have had, even though sometimes we have done things we haven't en- joyed. Now, dear Alma Mater, we are about to bid you farewell. Soon new faces and new scenes will be greeting us on every hand. But, always, even after we have left the shadow of our Alma Nfater to become freshmen in the sehool of life, we will be true to the O. F. A. and the flag of Red and Blue. ARDITH BEXNETT CLAUDE L.

Around Town With the Editors Last Tuesday, when the dignified lawyer Sidney Chaffee stopped in at Claude Arnold's newstand, he met Nick Moraitis, now an Admiral in the Navy. While they were talking, up drove Donald Matson, owner of the M. 8: M. Circus Shows now perform- ing at the Fair. With him were Dick Stinard, Tom Atchison and Don Tal- cott, directors of the poultry and dairy exhibits. They had just heard rumors that James Cooper was to present a demonstration on auto mechanics, and that Dick Gage, 4-H President, was in town. They decided to cruise over to Bob Hinchcliffe's gas station to get some gas. On the way over they gave traveling salesman Tom Kimball a push to get his car started. While Bob was filling the gas tank, the singer, Dick Haus, drove up. Before they had gone Charles Hagelin, the second Pa Kettle drove up with his carload of kids. Editors Attend Game Yesterday we, the editors, attended the opening of the 1961 baseball sea- son. U. S. President Garry Hills oiii- cially opened the season by throwing the first ball. Out on the field could be seen some of the great O. F. A. alumni. Among them were those pitchers, Doug Tiffany, Tom Mullen and James Wolfe. At third base was Dick Waltman, the man who has re- ceived much acclaim for his brilliant talent. The great combination of Frank Fitzgerald at shortstop and Tom Doty on second base made everyone expect a double play at anytime. In the out- field was Ed Tholen and the tough Dick Shaughnessy was umpire. Among the celebrities attending the game were Donald Lees, the successor to Albert Einstein, from Oakridge. Tenn., Arden 'iSpike Bennett, head coach at Cornell, and the famous sports commentator Ed Milks, who broadcasted his impression of the game. FASHION SHOW COMING Joan Williamson, President of the Business and Professional Women's Club announced that the club will sponsor a fashion show of new crea- tions Friday night at the Elks' audi- torium. Some of the noted Powers, models will model the clothes. They will include Joyce O'Brien, Betty Han- son, Beulah Edwards, and Sylvia Dodge. Pat Halstead, buyer for Macy's Dep't. Store, will attend the show with hopes of picking out some of the new creations. 24 Stephens Disagrees With Expert Michael Fitzgerald, a Penn. State Ag. teacher had an exhibit of farm ma- chinery at the Fair. Out front the man who was giving out free literature was Norman Mathewson. He had just given William Griffin, and John Bab- cock, both farmers, the booklet en- titled, 'tlmproved Manure Spreader, written by Lloyd Relyea, an expert on the subject. Lloyd was explaining the principles of the machine when up walked Albert Stephens, a gentleman farmeri' who disagreed with all the fandangled gadgets. Kay's Features Short and Grandv The nationally known hair stylist concern Short and Grandi' owned by Delores Short and Pat Grandeo will hold demonstrations in Kay's Smart Shop, operated by Joyce Morse and Kay Martin. Hair models will be Lil- lian Ferriton, Carolyn Rose and Aud- rey Coleman. Flying Experiment Fails James Tiffany, radio technician, and Willis Neal, psychiatrist at Bing- hamton State Hospital, are receiving shock-treatments as a result of trying to fly by themselves. They are resting under the expert care of the nurses, Edith Bennett, Mildred Vosburgh and Beverly Lind. Personals Joyce Roper, director of the Brook- lyn Methodist Hospital, visited her friends Mr, and Mrs. Melvin Boyd. Mrs. Boyd is the former Delores Rol- lins of Owego. The former Nellie Dickinson of Apalachin is visiting Owego with her twelve children. Guess she's proven it's Hcheaper by the dozen.

Deep in our minds, was the memory of three years ago, when the young and eager faces of the Freshman class were looked upon with doubtful eyes. No one knew what the progress of these folks would be, or how their class would make out. They rose from the baby freshman status to that of wise and so- phisticated seniors. During the Freshman and Sophomore years, they did what they could to build a foundation for a good class. They proved valuable in more ways than one through their participation in extra- curricular activities. Football, basketball, wrestling, cheerleading, band, orchestra, the choirs, drarnatics and Journalism Club were all activities in which the enthusiastic and well-rounded Juniors were engaged. More than half the basketball team of that year was composed of Juniors. Charles Dougherty, Jay Campbell, and George Bowen showed Owego fans that there were few other teams that could stop them. George was well-up on the high-scoreris list in the league, and jay and Chuck retrieved more rebounds and stole more balls from their opponents than was thought possible by many other players. Many of the members of our class went to state contests for band, orchestra, and choir, and more often than not, returned with medals. Then too, of course, the president of the Stu- dent Council was Henry Strong, another Junior. As we look back on years gone by, we can recall different, numerous things accomplish- ed by the class as a whole. The members of the class pulled together in good times and bad, alike. They cooperated with their leaders and benefited by it. Congratulations were due them then, and will continue to be in the future.

'Nouldn't you like to spend an evening looking at the Sophomore family album? VV e haven't included any tin type of Great, Great Grandfather Ezekiel who passed away in l876 and we have no pictures of Great Aunt Agatha nor even second cousins who may live in Peoria, Illinois or Keokuk, Iowa. On these pages you will find only the much alive mem- bers of the illustrious class of 1953, whom you might meet any day in the corridors of O. F. A. First, we would like you to see a picture of our class oH5cers. They are: President, John Blanchesterg Vice President, Jerry Lockwood, Treasurer, John Barr and Secretary, Sonia Walchuck. Next are pictures of our entire class. This year there are some new faces in the class, most of these helong to our classmates from Tioga Center. We are particularly proud of the Junior Varsity Team, whose photograph is found on another page of this album. The iirst string was composed entirely of members of our class. Almost all our members took part in band, orchestra, choirs and every other activity in school. As we glance through past albums we have to smile at pictures of costumes worn at Hal- lowe'en parties in Junior High, to say nothing of pictures of our classmates going through Freshman Initiation. We shall try to continue to fill our album with pictures of the never-to-be-forgotten class of 1953-the present Sophomore Class. DRUSILLA ELLIS SOPHOMORE CLASS OFFICERS Left io right-S.

Bur Hearts ere uung and Gay In the fall of 1950, the Freshman section of the Family Albumn started to assemble as a component part of the Owego Free Academy. Some of the new-comers represent- ed nearby towns such as Apalachin, Little Meadows, Pennsylvania, Campville, Flem- ingville, Friendsville, Pennsylvania, and Ti- oga Center, but a majority of them came from Owego. The Freshmen started the class organization at the first class meeting and ofheers were elected for 1950 and 1951. As you turn the page of this section of the album, the first picture shows their president, Dale Jackson, vice-president, Neil Gillson. Then following in succession are the other officers, Gregory Miller, secretary, Donald Cross, treasurer, Richard Haskell and Beverly Harned, Student Council representatives, and our class adviser, Mr. Morey. The first activity of the Freshmen was initiation which they will not forget. They did not plan that affair! The seniors used their ingenuity in dreaming up trouble for the innocent Frosh. The Freshmen were made to wear and do some preposterous things, but most of them took it and hoped for the day when they would become seniors. While you are looking at the athletics of our school please notice the representation of freshmen in football, basketball and wrestl- ing. Boys who participated in football were Donald Cross, John Murphy, Neil Gillson, and Dale Jackson. In basketball, on the Junior Varsity squad, were Neil Gillson, John Murphy, Edward Glasgow, Donald Cross, Louis Cornish, and Lawrence Dickinson, and in wrestling, Patrick Klees, Raymond Latini, Eddie Bryant, and Tracy Dumphy. Don't overlook Joyce Haner, Mary Lou Nichols, and Beverly Harned who were Junior Varsity cheerleaders. Jeanette Harders and Fay Thompson can be found with the softball players and Lea Rae White and Josephine Williams are with the archery enthusiasts. The class of 1954 is planning on a most successful four years in the Owego Free Academy, so watch for their record in the coming years. GREGORY MILLER EDWARD J. GLASGOW ROOM 5 lfronf r01f'-- M.

As we leaf through the pictures for S'Our Family Albumn of 1950-1951, we find many outstanding personalities among the eighth graders in the various activities of the year. High scholastic honors, talent in music and art, enthusiasm for sports and participation in many extra-curricular activities have help- ed to prepare us as today's children for lead- ership tomorrow. This year we were greatly proud to have with us so many classmates who were honor students. Lloyd Berry and Carol Shrauger vied for first place. Then there were those who topped the record in certain subjects. Lloyd and Lois, the Berry twins, were high raters in math. S. Sibley was a 'gwhiz in spelling. In composition, C. Haeling excelled. R. Beauter seldom failed to get a perfect score in social studies. The many others who closely followed cannot be mentioned by name. They worked hard to achieve these honors. In music and art, many discovered talent and extended their classwork into extra- activities and hobbies. Duttonis maps, E. Clarkis original chalk drawings, and P. Lee's oil paintings were a few attainments of those who enjoyed art. In music, many qualified as members of the choirs, band and entertain- ment program. Many performed in the Talent Show. In the field of sports, many also excelled. In wrestling, our newest sport, N. Franks and A. Bush were in the light-weight class. R. Andrews was on the V. team. Five went out for football. On the boys, noon basketball team, L. King was captain and D. Getzke, high scorer. To their surprise, the girls won against the Seniors, and second place in the noon league, with C. Shrauger as captain. We believe that leadership for the future can be developed through sports. Extra-curricular activities tended to broad- en our education. Every other week we had classmectings, with four girls serving as presi- dents. Moore and D. Getzke represented us in Student Council. INC contributed gen- erously to the fund drives. There was 100W enrollment in the Junior Red Cross. Ten were members of the Journalism Club. Each class had a member on the Tom Tom staff. The new program of Audio-Visual Aids, with movies, slide-Hlms and speakers, was greatly enjoyed. The H. S. Hallowe'en Party had many prize winners. Homeroom commit- tees worked especially well this year. There was also participation in many out-of-school activities. In all these activities, our per- sonalities have been developed. Whether or not school is fun, depends upon the attitude we ourselves take toward it. Out- standing personalities in the many activities mentioned have made this year a lot of fun for most of us. Vile have had nary a dull mo- ment, whether kept busy with homework, or practicing for sports, band or choir. We be- lieve that many of these excelling personalities will become outstanding leaders in tomorrow,s world. Yes, the eighth grade has a fine set of pictures for 'gOur Family Album.

Reading, riting and 'Rithmetic As we turn to this page of our Family Album we are ready to add snaps of our first year in Junior High School. How happy we were to reach the doors of the O. F. A.l The first picture we have shows all of us in the auditorium waiting to be assigned home rooms. Next we see that the new classes are electing ofiieers. We turn the pages and come to a picture of the Student Council. We are proud to have Holly Hodge and Barry Billings represent us in this organization. Who are these funny people? Of course, itis us, all dressed up for our Hallowe'en Party! We had fun that day playing games in the gym and later having refreshments in our rooms. During the Christmas Season many of us worked getting ready for the Christmas Con- cert. Those of us who didn't take part en- joyed listening to the familiar Yuletide Songs. As we browse on, we note that our photog- rapher hasn't neglected the happy hours spent in assemblies, gym, homemaking, and visual education classes. To say that our year has been all play and no work would be a misrepresentation of the truth. One of our pictures is of the mid year exams. We studied hard for these and our marks are evidence of the time we spent learn- ing new things. In O.F.A. we have found school not just educational, but interesting as well. We hope, by hard work, to contribute something to the school, and to add many more pictures to our ball game we see Phil Manchester, Barry Bill- album. ings, and Sally Stiles.

By The Sweat of Their Brews In this, our twenty-fifth year of publica- tion, we of the Tom Tom Staff have done our utmost to make the Tom Tom of 1951 the best Yearbook ever put out by the Owego Free Academy. Each year the staff tries to reach this goal. Under the careful guidance of Mr. Ellis, the Art Editors arrange photo- graphs and make the drawings for the section pages and the various illustrations needed to make the book attractive. Mrs. Ellis ably supervises the work of the diligent typists, advertising and sales staffs, and Miss Hamil- ton takes care of the literary part of the book. In twenty-five years the Tom Tom has be- come a larger, better and more attractive book. Indeed it has come a long way from the first paper-bound edition to the handsome, carefully planned, skillfully arranged book of today. With great pride we, the Tom Tom Stag of 1951, present to you, our Silver Anniver- sary Yearbook. lvl. ANN KUNTE on! may Jeff Io righfgll. Welch, D. I 0 4' lzro' W. Bellis, VN. Barner, T.

A student belonging to this club must do well not only in agriculture but in all other subjects and activities. The promotions con- tinue even after the student has left school and is set up in business for himself. There is also a social side to the Future Farmers. A rally is held at which nearlvy schools compete in foot-races, jumping and pacing accuracy. The Fall Rally is held indoors where vari- ous schools compete in identifying feeds and seed, timing in sawing boards, crosscut saw- ing, and rope splicing. Various national shows and exhibitions are sponsored by the Future Farmers of America.. They also maintain a state camp where boys may spend two weeks of summer vacation.

We Govern Uurselves Glancing through the school's family album, the Tom Tom, you are attracted by a pic- ture entitled 'iThe Student Council. You grow curious to know what it is and what its functions are. The Student Council is actually the student government whose duties are accomplished by elected class members. In the fall, after thc usual stormy campaign, Henry Strong, a capable Junior, emerged Council president. Under his direction the student representatives furnished enjoyable assem- blies, promoted a talent show and voted on new constitutional amendments. Later they formulated plans for revising the Journalism Club and the Dramatics Club. In short, the Council seems bigger and more active yearly in its student governing role. S. KNAUF llnaccustumed As We Are. . . In this modern world it is essential that people be able to express themselves in public with confidence and poise. Several seniors in the family, recognizing this fact, decided to gain speaking skill by taking part in the annual Kiwanis speaking event. Under the able guidance of Mrs. Turner, the seniors spoke on such topics as Communism, Guerilla Warfare, and the Manufacture of Plastics. The contest began as the Hrst four spoke before the Kiwanis Club. Two were chosen from this group to pit their skill against a second pair chosen later, in a debate, the final event of the season.

The Show Must Gu Un lNhile looking over our family album letis not forget the Dramatics Club, which main- tained the spirit of making the show go on. Newly organized under the leadership of Bliss Goodrich, thc club gave many plays and produced Trifles,' by Susan Glaspell in the assem- bly to demonstrate their talent to the whole student body. The club learned correct poise, speech, and gesture, studied dramatic and radio history, acted out radio plays and sketches, and introduced their own ideas of acting. The feeling that 'the show must go on was clearly seen with every achievement made by this club. BEULAH EDw.xRDs The Big Edition The Journalism Club is made up of students who are interested in writing news and who like to have their articles put in the school paper which is published at least twice a year. As we look into the front office of our school paper we see the Editor, Patricia Halstead, Associate Editor, Betty Signs, Secretary, Jerry Lockwood, Treasurer, Joan Nagel and our Ad- viser, Mrs. Blanchard. This is the staff that makes our paper a success. This year the club decided to change the name of the paper from The Tomahawk to HPow Wow, a more suitable name. The Pow VVOW is filled with articles that interest everyone, such as sports, fashions, fav- orite records and movies.

Our orchestra consists of about twenty members, and everyone takes part-from baby Philip Manchester to Grandpa Garry Hills, who makes a fine attempt at playing a trombone. Papa Keagle is a very able conductor who always manages to pull us over the rough spots. Some of these spots occur in 'iOn The Trailf' The clippity-elop of the donkey por- trayed in this number sometimes sounds as if he might have one wooden leg. But never- theless, Mr. Keagle urges us on so we finally end up sounding superb. Our family is always to be seen at the Senior Play, Public Speaking Contest, and Commencement. We are proud of our growing family, and we hope that those who join us in the years to come will cherish such companionship, and share our love for music. D.

At the football games, rain or shine, a bright fanfare announced the appearance of the Band on the Held. For the first time, this year, hat lights were used in colorful forma- tions. The Band played at the dedication of the Boys' Club and in Armistice and Memorial Day parades. We also participated in the County Festival at Wlaverly and the State Contest at Cortland. At the Annual Concert in the spring we presented outstanding numbers such as The Unfinished Symphony Cole Porter Selec- 'Practice makes ,ber ect ' Jays .Mr 5 c 2 tion, if Boleroi' and NStars and Stripes For- f 1 ever.

What fun it was to sing songs such as were presented at the Annual Christmas Concert. The program consisted of selections from 5'The Nutcracker Suite, sung by the Girls' Choir, some numbers by the Girls' Trio, and finally, the thrilling candlelight pro- cessional by the Mixed Choir. Accompanied by Joan Rowland and Rose Murphy, the Choir sang, among other selections, uThe Birthday of a Kingf, ':Up On the Housetopf' and C:Cantique de Noel. Springtime came and the members of the vocal groups practiced tirelessly. The big night arrived! Some fifty boys and girls stood nervously on the stage. The curtain rose and the performance began. Mrs. Worden, com- plete with bustle and parasol, led us through the memorable ':Ole lklan Riverf' Stout Hearted Menf' and Younger than Spring- timef' Then the Boys, Choir stepped forward to present its part. Confidently tipping their derbies, and twirling their mustaches, they presented a delightful minstrel act, which was enjoyed by everyone. Many other songs and selections were presented, and the concert was a great success. Also in the spring, the Girls' Ensemble packed their valises, climhed into the Pierce Arrow, and rode away to the State Contest, where they made a fine showing. Many of the boys and girls in the Choir participated in the All-County Choir at the County Festival held in Spencer, where the Girls, Choir and the Mixed Choir also sang. All in all, this year was one of the most successful the choirs have experienced. LUCRETIA XV ARD BOYS' CHOIR Front row, lefl lo Vighl f-R. Babcock, C. Cole, D. Chaffee, A. Williams, 'l'.

We are not quite certain whether the idea was original, or if the instrumentation was enlarged in keeping with the demands of present day television. At any rate, we have a full sized dance orchestra, in- cluding violins. The roster reads like a ffWho,s Who in Musicl' with Jim Meade, George Luther, and Tom Atchison on trumpet, plus Garry Hills, Barbara Gathany, and Sue Brown on trom- bone-a solid bass section if there ever was one. The sax section, including Ronald Granger, Richard Granger, Marion Bevan and Nancy Sherwood, plus Joan Williamson and Nancy Shults on violin, Dawn Tubaugh on piano, Dave Chandler on bass, and Phil Manchester on drums, really balance the orchestra in keeping with your dancing pleasure.

These girls march not only in parades but at football games as well. They march in time and step with the music in the background and twirl their glittering batons that Hash in the sunlight.

Although the season was not the best ever had by an Indian outfit, it was, nevertheless, to some extent, a success. As the leaves began to turn, saying that fall was here, the students of the O. F. A. became more and more conscious of the on- coming football season. In the season's opener under the lights at Marvin Park, the Indians lost a heartbreaker to the Yellowjackets of Oneonta 26 to 20. The following week the Deebmen had a much easier time as they defeated Bath 25 to 6. The next Friday night began a losing streak for the Indians when they lost to Waverly for the first time in many years, at Memorial Stadium 35 to 0. The streak continued on through the two following weeks when Owego lost to Vestal 7 to 0, and Cortland 47 to 0. Not to be undaunted by these bad defeats, the Indians thundered back into high gear when they defeated Painted Post 40 to 2. The next weekend they won over Newark Valley 14 to 0, the Indians scoring twice in the clos- ing minutes of the ball game, after being held scoreless for over three quarters in a driving rain. Going into the final game of the season with 3-4 record, the Indians tried but failed to make it an even one when they lost to Elmira Heights 34 to 14. Although the season was not one of great success, the coaches and players look hope- fully forward to the fall of '51 when a number of lettermen will return to once again make history in the family album.

Mr. Michael Terpolilli was acting coach while coach Deeb finished with football. Coach Terp5' later became JV mentor. Practices were long and rigorous because we had only two lettermen returning from last year. With this material the outlook didn't seem bright but we had the will to win and that's what a top team needs. We entered Athens in the curtain opener and took a sound defeat 69 to 47. We beat Norwich at home 42 to 29 and began to get optimistic about future victories. Our joy was shortlived when VVaverly whipped us 51 to 34 in our first league game. Then came Homer, there. This was defi- nitely a game to be forgotten when we lost 71 to 44. Homer did serve a purpose though. for when we invaded Sayre with our minds set on not having another i'Homer Game we beat Sayre 47 to 38. Liking the taste of victory we went on and captured Edison High 38 to 31 for our first league victory. The next week the powerful Horseheadas aggregation bowed before the Indians to the tune 55 to 45. We won't forget the Watkins Glen game very soon. Having a 5'hot first half we led 41 to 14 at halftime but when the Hnal whistle blew we had just eked out a 56 to 50 victory. The next night we lost to Norwich. This was mainly due to the letdown from the night before. Newark Valley was the next victim of Owego as we won an easy one 66 to 40. The second round of play was one we wish could be left out of the record books. That slump which so often befalls an upcoming team overtook the Indians. To begin with VVaverly downed us 67 to 43g then Heights 64 to 59. Horseheads and Watkins Glen didn't want to be out of style and sent the Owegoans down 48 to 43 and 64 to 53 respectively. The 1950-51 O. F. A. Basketball genera- tion, though not tops in the win-lost column, had a successful year. Ric HARD GAGE Front row, Iwfl to riglll-N. Franks, I'4'Rl' 'l'l' Kl Row threefl.. Relyeu.

The boys' league was composed of eight well-balanced teams. At the end of the year playoffs were held and the final climax of thc successful season came when an all-star team was picked to play the Junior Varsity team. The girls' league was composed of a team representing each grade. These teams also came up with some exciting games. We are sure that all who witnessed these contests appreciated the players' efforts and good sportsmanship. RICHARD WALTMAN MWTMMM This year Owego Free Academy experimented with a sport that is new to them. It promises to become very popular throughout this section within a few years. The sport is collegiate wrestling. Not quite as many students turned out as was desired but all the weights were met. In most new sports the first year is usually the worst. Owego won against Newark Valley twice and had one close match with Elmira Heights. Three boys qualified for the quarter finals in wrestling tournaments held at Ithaca. Mr. Spencer, our coach, has great optimism for the com- ing years. LLOYD RELYEA XVRIZSTLING TIZARI R. nllllll, . lou ci, . ees, A. Bush, H. Jones, E. Bryant, K. Newton, E. Valentine. Row lw0fl'.

The third annual student-faculty basketball game, played in the gym, found the pigskin boys ahead as the final whistle blew. The game raised a good sized sum of money toward the sweater fund. It is now a custom to issue sweaters to senior players who have earned enough points to merit one.

E T w is A Class in Calzsihenzcs The Tumhuys Although they are not allowed to play on a competitive basis with other schools, the girls of O. F. A. still enjoy athletics. With Miss Yerdon supervising, basketball, always a favorite sport, was carried on with fairness and good sportmanship during noon hours and gym classes. Next to basketball, as far as popularity is concerned, is volleyball. The ball is lighter and a net is stretched across the gym, but the same fair play is practiced. Teamwork is a vital part of volleyball, as it is in any sport. The players learn to work to- gether as one unit. The old sport, tumbling, renewed just last year, is still being enjoyed by the girls who participate. It is one of the most effective ways of exercising the body and it is fun to take part in. With the tricks and stunts they learn, the girls can keep their bodies in con- dition even after school is out. Archery, though a smaller amount of vigor- ous activity is involved, is a prohtable game. It requires a practiced eye and a steady hand to hit the bull's eyef, It would be impossible for the school teams to win without the support of the school be- , 55 x g 'R 1. hind them. This support is represented and demonstrated by the cheerleaders. Not only do they use physical strength to lead the crowd in vigorous yells, but also mental strength to originate the cheers. There are numerous other sports we could mention here. When the days begin to grow warmer, Miss Yerdon ventures forth with her gym classes to play a game of softball, tennis or soccer. But all these sports, though they may be considered outside activities, help in the schooling of the body and mind for par- ticipation in the larger and more important game of life.
