It seemed that the day when their status would be changed from junior high school to high school Pupils would never come. At last, that day arrived and now they are freshmen. The new way of doing things seemed strange at Hrst, but soon the freshman class became ad- justed. Class elections were held and the follow- ing officers were elected: Phil Manchester, Presi- dentg Richard Morey, vice-president, Suzanne Dickinson, secretary, and Linda Brown, treasurer. As representatives to Student Council, Ioan Perry and Barry Billings were chosen. They elected Mr. Terpolilli as class advisor. The challenge of new and harder subjects was met with enthusiasm by the class. The freshmen soon learned that they must study harder in order to move farther along the assembly line. Freshman initiation was an experience that will long be remembered by the frosh. The seniors looked much more superior to the frosh from the kneeling position that they had occupied most of the time during Freshmen VVeek. They couldnlt help but look forward to the time when they would take their places in Senior Study Hall. ln the sports department the class of ,56 was well represented. During football season spectators could notice many freshmen faces underneath the football helmets of the O. F. A. football team. The Iunior Varsity basketball team was partly composed of a large number of nfroshf, The wrestling team also boasted some freshmen. On the V. cheering squad were Elaine Gillette and Suzanne Dickinson, two members of the class. So, with memories of a year of hard work and lots of fun behind them, the freshmen progress toward the end of the assembly line. When they reach it they anticipate a record of many accomp- lishments behind them. In ' Memory . ii O v Y fx 5 Last fall one of our fellow students was taken from us. Priscilla Dunn did not live to finish this year or her remaining three years of high school, the happiest years of one's life. The students of the Owego Free Academy will always keep in memory a fellow Owegoan, Priscilla Dunn. - - ,

SECOND SINCE THE BEGINNING of the school year, 1952- 1953, in eighth grade, the production of students from raw materialu has been quite rapid along the assembly line. We have become accustomed to the changes from seventh to eighth grade. We have also become more efficient in our school work. This year in the extra-curricular activities we have produced more spirit and participated in many recreational activities. On the assembly line our major subjects came Hrst. ln citizenship education, we learned to be better citizens, by studying what our duties and responsibilities are, in connection with our govern- ment and foreign relations. In mathematics we have tried to overcome carelessness and to be more accurate in our work. ln English-Part l, we have studied to enlarge our vocabulary with more vivid, expressive words, to spell words Huent- ly and accurately and to make grammar useful as the background for our oral and written English. Our book reports in English-Part II have been INLINE the essay type and have included more work in biography and non-fiction reading. We enjoyed our autumn bookletsl' in literature. Letters of ap- plication were an important topic. We have also had minor, required subjects, to take. ln music and art, some have found a talent which we shall wish to develop further along the line of progress. ln health and safety, we have learned how we can take better care of our lives. Physical education has developed our bodies through exercise and games. I-lomemaking for the girls has given them a little of the background of caring for future homes. ln all, our curricular subjects have been given much attention. Having completed these many subjects, we think we really deserve a step up in progress. This class of 1952-1953 has taken a big step toward becoming a finished product. We are proud to have been the eighth grade part of the nassembly linef,
