THE FINISHED FOUR LONG YEARS Aoo, a group of inexperienced youngsters started on a career toward perfecting themselves as citizens of tomorrow. Now as these four years of educational work have come to a close, let's look back and review the progress made by us, the Seniors of the Owego Free Academy. One hundred parcels of raw materials entered the O. F. A. in the fall of ,49, set upon leaving as finished products. The first year of polishing began on the first step of the assembly line, where each decided on a course or vocation. The fresh- man class of ,So established themselves as a pro- gressive and hard working class as early as their first year. The sophomore year, the next step, was the time of sizing and moulding together the first year's experiences for the solid framework required for the two years to follow. Our teachers, the skilled workers in our little factory, still had a tough job ahead of them, which the raw materials, the students, did not realize. But nevertheless during our junior year we contributed much toward the improvement of our ability, character and personal welfare. Then came the final step toward the realization of a great dream, the dream of becoming a senior. The Senior Play, the Annual Commencement Exer- PRUDUCTS cises, and finally the Senior Prom were in the minds of all of us. We have come a long way since our first ex- periences in the fall of '5o. We believe that the skilled workers in our modern factory have turned out an excellent product from the raw materials with which they started. This yearls senior class has now been tested and is ready for delivery to the ports of the world. Dear Classmates : The final mile has now been trodden in our seemingly, never-ending march. The curtain has risen and we are now uncovered to the eyes of the world. But before we come to that fork of the road, I want to express my everlasting gratitude to the Class of y53. Many pleasant, exciting, and never-to-be-for gotten experiences have been stored away in my mind, never to be removed. It has been a great honor and privilege to have served as president of this year's senior class. I will long cherish the mem- ories of our final year in the O. F. A. May God bless and keep you. Sincerely, Johnny Manchester Class President
