As swiftly flowing waters of a brook Rush rippling, fast and faster, in their bed, Our school days, gay and glorious, now have sped, The memory of those years, from this outlook, Reminds us, sad, for us they are no more. For even though their trials oft times seemed hard, Since they have passed, we now o'er1ook them-glad That we may keep their memory with us, clad In dreams to suit our fancies-never marred, Although we know henceforth they are no more. Then in the future shrouded still in mist, Oh may sweet thoughts still linger in our heart Of friends and friendships long since drawn apart, Those formed 'mongst students, teachers--long the list, Alas! for then we'll say, They are no more. We pray that when we shall have learned the worth Af all those precepts grasped with slight desire, But which oft help us to what we aspire, Thou'lt teach us, gracious God of heav'n and earth, To be yet glad to have the memories.

The Student Council The Student Council is a direct representation of the students in prac- tically all scholasti.c affairs. Each year every home room elects its officers. The home room chairman attends all of the Council meetings. If he can not be present at a meeting, he must make arrangements for one of the other offi- cers of his home room to take his place. At the first meeting of the year, in September, the following officers were elected: President, Ralph jones, Vice President, Margaret Sterling, Secretary- Treasurer, Harriet Baker. Mr. Newton has acted as adviser. The members of the Council found enjoyment in being in this organiza- tion and were happy to serve Rome Free Academy.

The members of the club held several debates during which Mrs. Cole picked out the people for the interscholastic debates. Arnold Evans, Daniel Shacter, Harlow Sexton, with Lillian Dick as alternate, com- posed the affirmative team. Harriet Baker, Douglas Bell, Paul Brooks, with Richard Woodruff as alternate, composed the negative team. In the midst of preparations, Mrs. Cole was taken ill and had to resign. Mr. Tolles from Hamilton College was secured to continue with the teams. In spite of the handicap of changing, Rome teams met Utica on March 27, 1931-the affirma- tive at Rome, the negative at Utica. The subject was: Resolved, That the Evils of the Machine Age Outweigh Its Benefits. The teams were beaten by a score of 2 to 1. On April 30 the teams met Oneida. There was only one critic judge at each debate. Both Rome teams won, and the season closed more successfully for Rome. DANIEL SHACTER, '32, fDeJ-Qflalain., -.Sta Wage 55 -Photo hy McClusky.

A contest was held at which the club was divided into two sides. The weights of different chemicals were judged by the teams. Other competition ensued. Daniel Shacter took the part of judge and after he had announced the winning team the club was dismissed. At the next meeting the losers gave a party to the victors. As entertainment the losing side prepared an experi- ment, The laboratory preparation of cocoaf' which was performed by the opposite side. After this refreshments were served.

Richards' Day, as she is to Home Economics what Florence Nightingale is to Nursing. The club forms pleasant relationships between teachers and pupils, and develops leadership among girls who hold offices and chairmanships of com- mittees. Welfare work is done for the poor. Mother-and-Daughter banquets are served. Other entertainments are picnics, corn roasts, and this year a sleighride to Camp Higham. The present officers are: President ...........

Library Club The Library Club of Rome Free Academy is perhaps one of the best known school societies. The meetings are held at the houses of the various members to gain a better knowledge of authors, and a better understanding of all types of literature. This year drama and fiction have been the forms of literature studied most. At the meetings the programs are in charge of the members. One of the most outstanding social functions of the year was the Annual Thanksgiving Dance which was given in the High School gymnasium in honor of the 1930 Football Squad.

The Hi-Y Club The Hi-Y Club of the Rome Free Academy has finished successfully its 1930-51 season. This year has been, without a doubt, one of the most event- ful years of the clu'b's existence. Rev. D. N. Boswell, pastor of the Baptist Church, has been an unfailing source of inspiration to the members in their quest for a higher understanding of the more serious side of life. One of the most outstanding events of the year was the banquet given in honor of the Basketball team of Rome Free Academy. Tommy Doyle, star linesman of Colgate University, was the main speaker of the evening. Very much credit is due to the club's sponsor, Mr. Ward Brown, for his untiring devotion and loyal support. The Hi-Y Club here wishes to express its appreciation of the girls of Rome Free Academy who gave their services as waitresses during the vear.

Brass Tacks The Brass Tacks is a weekly sheet published entirely by the students of R. F. A. with the co-operation of Miss Viola Gaylord of the faculty. The work is entirely original and the material consists of the news in and around school, humor of original type, editorials, and linoleum and metal cuts made by the students. This year has been a very successful one for Brass Tacks. At the Colum- bia Press Conference in New York, which was attended by Miss Lillian Dick, associate editor, Erwin Fellows, advertising manager, Dick Edell, sports editor, George Black, editor, and Miss Viola Gaylord, faculty adviser, the paper was judged in third place in its class. The number of paid subscriptions has increased from 169 to 360. At this time we wish to thank all those who have in any way facilitated the publication of the paper, and who have helped to make it the success that it has been.

National Honor Society At the end of their Junior year, the first five per cent of the Class of '31 were elected to the Rome Free Academy Chapter of the National Honor Society. The next ten per cent were chosen during the latter half of their Senior year. At the first meeting of the local chapter, Vernon Sawyer was elected president, Dorothy Kuehn, vice president, and Eleanor Streifert, sec- retarv.

Tagea 66 KDQJ-0-fltlain., Sta Class History The history of the Senior Class began at the time when we were Sopho- mores. We came to the Senior High School with high ideals and great ambi- tions. However, during our Sophomore year we had little opportunity to prove our mettle. We were deemed unworthy of notice until Christmas when we decorated the school. We accomplished this task so well that even the Seniors praised our efforts. The Sophomore year passed quickly and soon we were ranked as juniors. No longer were we entirely ignored. Many of our members participated in athletics, others in club and social activities. The main social function of our junior year was the junior-Senior Reception. This, due to the untiring efforts of our president, was a huge success. So beautifully was the gymnasium dec- orated, that once again the lordly Seniors had to admit that they could not have done better themselves. With this final success our junior year was brought to a close. Now at last we are Seniors, our ambitions have been realized and our goal has been reached. The Senior year has been the best year of all. A Senior class play was presented. This production was a glowing success. Wfe again have the distinction of having many of our classmates participating in athletics. Among this number there are several ex-captains. The newly elected baseball captain is also a member of our class. The athletic teams of 1932 will sadly miss the services of these men. The Torch of Learning has been entrusted to us and we are living up to that trust. Our only regret is that this is our last year in Rome Free Academyg that after graduation we will no longer be termed a class. We sincerely hope that the Class of 1932 and classes which follow will keep the Torch burning as brightly as the Class of 1951 did, and that they may live up to the ideals set by our class. DOUGLAS BELL, Senior Class President, ,51. 'Do O-Talain., -Sta 'Pago 67 The Girls' Prophecy It was in the year 1955 that I returned to the United States. I hadn't been back to God's own country since leaving college. Therefore my arrival in New York on the Levingaria was accomplished with a great interest and expec- tation on my part. One of my fellow-passengers was Angela Barabasg but I learned later she had married a missionary in Central Africa and was coming back to the States on a vacation. The captain's wife was the former Millicent Hartman and two of the many efficient stewardesses on board the ship were Irene Tuthill and Nellie Pomilio. On my arrival in New York our luggage was looked over by custom offi- cers, Anna Henry and Florence Wilson. After tipping them well we were allowed to leave the pier. As prearranged, a friend of mine met me as I emerged from the baggage room where my trunks had been carried by Flor- ence Rathbone and Helen Hawkins. My friend informed me that on account of a great transportation strike all taxicabs, buses, trains, etc., were being run by women. This accounted for our being driven to the Hotel Ritzmore in a taxi operated by Mary Agone. We recognized the bellhop who took us to our rooms as being Avos Potts. The next morning we took a bus up Fifth Avenue. Everywhere were large signs announcing the fact that the world-renowned Louise Hanicker was going to sing that night in a new Coia and Anderson opera, presented by the Cosmopolitan Opera Company. However, because of other engagements we could not attend the theater. We also saw an advertisement for a talkie at the Roxamount Theater. One of the greatest American actresses, Rachael King, was starring in the picture, The Candle Bearersf' She is said to be equal to that great star, Marie Dressler. Anna Stanulevich and Frances Lew- andraski were playing opposite each other in a comedy. For lunch we went to an East Side restaurant run by Dorothy Besenfelder and in the afternoon we journeyed down to Wall Street where there was much excitement. It seems that the stocks of the Sterling Silver Company were steadily going up. We were very glad because it meant quite a break for Reg as she was president of the company. After leaving Wall Street we went uptown to a baseball game. Two of the players we knew were Mary Hall and Olga Homer. Olga surely lived up to her name in the way she played that game. That night we went around to a few night clubs. The most famous ones had as hostesses Ann Schindler, Eleanor Rudd and Lena Edwards. Needless to say, there was no lack of customers. Lena had entered the business after her third divorce. The following morning we went out to the Evans Airport. There we boarded a passenger plane designed by the Berndt-Wood Manufacturing Com- pany. Eleanor Gossner and Stephanie Sermick were our pilots. We arrived fPageJ 68 fDeJ - Q - flfzlain., Sta in Rome late in the afternoon and were met on the field by Dorothy Golly. She told us she was a lawyer on the divorce case of Muriel Stretton against an All-American football player. Dot,' offered to show us all the improve- ments made in ,the City of Rome. She promised to meet us in the hotel lobby the next day. She said she probably wouldn't be there till late as she had to have her hair waved at the Dorhamer Beauty Parlor. At ten the next morning she met us in the lobby and from there we started the tour of the city. The first place we stopped at was the offices of the daily newspaper. The editor-in-chief, I was told, was Lillian Dick. While conversing with her she told us that her best cartoonist was Eva Drake and her best reporter was Altay Knight. It seems that Altay Knight disguises her- self as a bootlegger and thereby gets into the homes of the rich. In this way she learns of all the latest social news which subsequently gets into Lillian's paper, Many of the other old buildings were still standing as I had remembered them. Our next stop was the library. Helen Morton was the chief librarian. However, she told us that she had an offer to be an assistant in the New York Library. From there we went up to old R. F. A. I hardly recognized the place as all the walls were ivy-covered. Upon entering we found quite a number of the faculty had been members of the Class of '51. For instance, Helen Zdziebko and Michaeline Prozny were history teachersg Eleanor Strei- fert taught economics. Later on in the day I went to hear Dorothy Kuehn deliver a sermon on Success During the service music was furnished by the church choir. Louise Cox was the soprano soloist. Other members of the choir were Mar- garet Colburn, josephine jeski, and Elsie Kanwischer. After the service I met Josephine Luberda in the uniform of a policeman. I asked her about the rest of the Class of '51. She told me that Ellen and jane Hendrickson were presi- dent and vice president respectively of the Dairymen's League. She also in- formed me that Marion Gannon and Adella Scyper had become air-mail pilots. 1 learned that Harriet Baker had been put in jail for saying that there was no Santa Claus and that Stella Karnas had been arrested for selling perpetual motion machines. Returning to the hotel I sat down to rest and to listen to a radio program. Antoinette Lane was the announcer and a good one she made. Next came a five-minute talk by Myrtice Bailey on what the well-dressed man should wear and she seemed to be an authority on the subject. Then there was a duet by Alyce and Eleanor Rieck, followed by a short comedy in which Marian Gleasman, Margaret Curtis, and Eleanor Foley were the main characters. And finally an orchestra began to play the latest hits. Pearl Nystrom led this orchestra with Corthell De Nault playing the cornet, Anna Biclawski the drums and Annie Cziywaty the saxophone. Then I fell asleep to dream about the success of all my former classmates. HAROLD MAssEY, '31, KDQJ Q-twain.. -,Sta Tagey 69 Boys' Prophecy One pleasant june afternoon in 1941 I sat dreaming in a comfortable chair, in fact, so comfortable that I became curious about its manufacturer. To satisfy my curiosity I arose and looked for the name of the manufacturing con- cern and I found in bold letters Charles Bungert 8: Company. I returned to my former comfortable position and as I sat there I began to reminisce. I wondered what the rest of the boys were doing. My desire, however, was soon realized for Leon Suba came to me and said that he had arranged a trip for me to take to Virus, where all the male members of the Class of 1951 gathered in reunion. There I might learn of their careers and accomplishments. We made the trip to the island in a combination automobile, airplane and boat called the Autairboa, John Ryscycuck's contribution to the world, and it was piloted by Bob Dodson and Robert Hooper. Douglas Bell made himself evident in the form of a one-man reception committee and told me all about the ups and downs of stocks. He was a stock broker and ran his business on a 70-40 basis. I almost weakened under his high-pressure sales- manship but my attention was distracted when I heard sounds, strange indeed. Leon explained that Dave Miller was demonstrating his vocal ability. Dave had a position in Hollyhood. He was in the talkies, not as a crooner, but as the source for the vocal attributions to Mickey Mouse cartoons. Howard Koons, his director, was known the world over as the man who gave the well- known movie hero, Casimer Rebisz, his chance. I learned that Casimer was being sued for breach of promise and was being ably defended by his legal adviser, Amos Pritchard. Anthony Gualtieri and Donnie Ross were both members of the All-Amer- ican football team of 1935. They were playing in a football picture, Hoozan Top, by Bob jones. jack Bostwick, pro tap dancer, had gained fame on the Great White Way, where, I was told, his name in lights was as good as a sign, Standing Room Only. Perhaps his agility and ability as a dancer can be attributed to his cheerleading antics. I was surprised to learn that Tony Bush had at last succumbed to the charms of some woman. Tony was one of the most successful hairdressers in New York City. He had recently opened the Bush Beauty Salon on Fifth Avenue. Nick Colluccio and john Zingerline had the contract for the installation of the plumbing. I learned that Ralph Davis was the football coach at a well known college. Bill Angotti was a member of the Board of Regents and was trying to impress upon his colleagues the necessity of an improved type of geometry regents, a form with answers to all the problems. All the pupil would have to do would be to copy the answer on his own paper. Frank Krzewinski was flyweight champion prize-fighter of the tenth ward. fPageJ 70 CD0 - O - 'ZOJain., ,Sta Anthony Anno was the head elevator boy in the Wellworth building in Chicago and Lewis Wood was the proprietor of Ye Gift Shoppe in the same building. Gabriel Garofalo was very anxious to tell me all about the narrow escape he had a few weeks previously when his jumping belt, a masterpiece of Tom Ferlo, failed to function. Pat Destito was working on a poem, Ode to An Onion or the Cry of the Cookf, Bobbie Gilbert came up to me to tell all about how he finished first in the 200-yard dash at the Olympic races, but was interrupted by Si Murphy, who was very much elated by victory as candidate for mayor of Midge Rills. He seemed to think that a great deal of credi.t for his victory was due Erwin Fellows and Eugene Legan, who gave him much publicity in the Rome Silly Dentinel. Francis Carello had recently been elected to the position of Senator and was being favorably received by the general public in his negotiations of plans for a museum for Old-New Fords and Overgrown Austins. Harold Massey had been touring England for the nth time and it was rumored that he made these frequent journeys to that country so that he would not lose his English accent. Franklyn Rudd was an archaeologist and had presented a museum in New York City with some of the finest specimens to date. Willie Keeler and John Pietras, who, back in the good old days had fiddled the strings of a violin, now fiddled the strings of a Yo-Yo Top in the Philadelphia Simp Phoney Orchestra. Francis Czajkowski had been appointed chauffeur for the president of the United States, a position he had coveted for many a moon. Speaking of moons, Edward Bayliss was married and living happily and forever after, I hope. Albert Guaspari owned a soda-fountain on Dominick Street and was known all through the city for his famous heated ice cream. Charles Butler approached me and I hardly recognized him fhe had a mustachej. But that isn't all, he had a self-repairing auto shop and the patent papers for Poza- tivlee-Absolute unbreakable cork test tubes that can be dropped or thrown without the slightest danger of being broken or cracked. Harold Carrier and Ray Fleming held one of the most unique positions of all. They were both testers of mattressless beds. Don Commerford, under the fictitious name of Cap O. Roso, was manufacturing the mattresses. Glenn Petrie still liked to ride a motorcycle and he did. Vernon Sawyer had done much toward improving the radio. He enjoyed his work so much he had brought some things he was working on along with him. fDeJ Q-Tclain., -,Sta 'Pago 71 Walter Pawelko was an algebra teacher and was preparing a book called Teaching Prof. Cole Math. Ernest Kimball had been living in space for a short time with a supply of a very rare gas that he had discovered and named Ifoundit. Don Simon was playing in Len Lirnie's orchestra and Bill Taylor was drummer in an orchestra he himself had organized. He was going to tour the United States but was in such demand at Ernest Tryon's Nite Club in Detroit that he remained there. Don Lutz was playing on a professional football team and Ralph Terzini was in such great demand as a football and basketball player that he com- promised, he played baseball with a professional team and was a big factor in helping that team win the World Series. In his leisure time, Tarzan drew caricatures of politicians. Anthony Proper was a National Boy Scout official. His hobby was sal- vaging demolished airplanes and ships that had failed in their attempts to cross the ocean. Bob Scott was employed in a cereal factory, he blew up the puffed rice. I was indeed surprised that little Bub Rienzo was posing for advertise- ment posters for a well-known brand of cigarettes. It is said his good looking hands were partly responsible for his particular fitness for posing with cigar- ettes. Bob Wentworth had a book store for a while but soon tired of it and sacrificed it for a life in the open. Kendrick Smith was a traveling salesman and he was so good that he sold waterless hot water bottles on the Sahara Desert. Jimmie Kozma was designing men's clothing and had succeeded in pro- ducing a type of suit that would make a man five feet four look at least five feet five. , Bob King was the only member of the class who had become a minister but the other boys who had heard his sermons were impressed that in his choice Bob had decided wisely. joe DePalma was bigger and stronger than ever after working for eight years in Frank Park's lumber camp up in the northern woods. But time was growing short and, well, so was the line of boys. Arnold Evans, who was one of the best lawyers in the country, had remained to be last so that he might tell me about his advocacy of womanless marriages for footballs. He left me and I found myself alone once more with Leon. Now that I had heard all and seen all about the others I asked him what he had been doing. He modestly confessed having published several books of humorous stories and having won the Davis Cup for tennis in 1938. Success seemed prevalent among these boys. How I longed to remain with them and discuss more completely what had so briefly been presented to me. But time would not allow it. I left the island with a feeling of satis- faction at having seen and talked with my former classmates. HARRIET BAKER, '31. 'Paga 72 KDQJ - Q - twain., ,Sta -Photo by McClusky. The First Year By Frank Cmtfefz This is the first year that the Senior Class has attempted to show the problems of the first year of married life. They showed acting ability and were very true to life. Fred Livingston, as portrayed by David Miller, presented a very amusing character. His Huh? 's and 'lXXfhat did you say ? 's were a source of con- stant amusement to the audience but for Mrs. Livingston, played by Betty Dor- hamer, they were a hard task. The poor wife had to repeat endless conversa- tions to her dear husband who just wouldn't pay attention. Grace Livingston, enacted by Eleanor Rudd, was the belle of her home town and found it very difficult to choose the right man. jack Bostwick, as Tommy Tucker, was finally chosen. Jack did a fine piece of acting and although he wasn't as dashingly romantic as Dick Loring, he was a fine hero. Ralph Davis, contrary to real life, plays the part of the dashing romantic who business man and his flighty wife. Arnold Evans, as Dr. Myron Anderson, the brother of Mrs. Livingston, played his part very well. Harriet Baker, as Hattie the colored maid, is very entertaining and fur- nishes the comedy for the tragic second act. Mr. Peter Barstow, who really is john Carrier, and his wife, Angela Barabas, give a good interpretation of a business man and his flighty wife. The Senior Class is fortunate in once again having Miss Strout direct their play. As before she has made it a success by her excellent coaching. We con- gratulate the cast and Miss Strout. D. E.

The program opened with a selection by the orchestra under the direction of Mr. Lundblad. Rachel King opened the program with Mrs Malaprop's Views, by Richard Sheridan. It was a selection about a mother who had set opinions. The Last Leaff' by O. Henry, was very ably given by Elizabeth Newton. The story was that of a young girl who expected to die when the last leaf, on the ivy vine, should fall. Dora Mason offered XWho's Afraidf by Marjorie Benton Cook, a story of two little children telling stories in bed. Marion Long gave a story of Canadian life called The Going of the XWhite Swan, by Sir Gilbert Parker. Perhaps the most amusing selection, Willie's Dress Suit, by Booth Tarkington, was delivered by Eleanor Rudd. joseph Serino delivered The Haywood Trial Defense,', by Clarence Dar- row. The selection was about the acquittal of William Haywood. Edward Getbehead gave Ropes, by Stanford Clinton, an exposition on capital punishment. China Blue Eyes, by Elma Floss, was delivered by Karl Miller. A Southern Court Scene was given by Harlow Sexton. The Meaning of Americanismn was given by Carlton Castle. The contestants were very evenly matched as was shown by the tie vote for first place among the girls. The judges were C. Harold King, Guy Prindle and Mrs. Bradford F. Crolly. Dora Mason and Edward Getbehead were awarded first prizes of 3320 each, and Elizabeth Newton and Carlton Castle took second prizes of 3510 each. Miss Phila Strout deserves a great deal of credit for her work in training the contestants and giving up her time to make the contest a success. DoRoTHY E. GOLLY, '31, Tagea 74 'Do - G - Twain., Sta eylfrs. Gale The Senior Class sincerely regrets that Mrs. Cole has resigned her post at Rome Free Academy. With the exceptions of the 1929-1930 semesters Mrs. Cole has taught since 1922 in this school. It has been through her untiring efforts that so many students have passed English and now have cause to thank her. Her interest and work have made possible the debating teams of Rome Free Academy, which have been so successful and for which we are very thankful to her. We have learned that, when Mr. Allison leaves in june, he intends to become a student again and return to the Harvard Graduate School. We wish him the best of results and know that he will carry out our wish. Although Miss Oliver has been in our fold only for the past semester, she has made many friends among the faculty and student body. Now that she is leaving, we can only express our regret that she is saying, Good-bye. Mrs. Harrington has been with us only since the departure of Mrs. Cole, but in that short time she has won over the students to her and when she leaves many of our expressions of regret will go with her. For two years Miss Shineman has been our instructor and friend. Now since she has found a much more desired position, we sincerely wish her all the happiness of married life. A.

MARGARET JENKINS LENA EDWARDS BETTY DORHAMER JACK BOSTVVICK fPage2 78 'Dey - O - Teiain., Sta Football-1930 Rome Free Academy has always had the reputation of putting out strong, hard-fighting Football teams. In victory or defeat R. F. A. teams always ex- hibit high standards of sportsmanship. R. F. A. gridders of 1930 have again upheld this splendid reputation both in being a hard-fighting, determined team and also in being a team of clean sports. The R. F. A. eleven had a good season in 1930 in spite of the fact that it was defeated twice, once by the Utica Free Academy, our ancient rivals, and once by Herkimer High School in the sectional playoff. This team was lighter than most of the teams it played, but what lacked in weight was made up in speed, determination and aggressiveness. Of the 1929 team only seven veterans were left after graduation had taken its toll. Three of last year's backfield were available so that Coach Bill Keat- ing's chief difficulty was to rebuild the line which had large gaps due to the graduation of Lewin, Gualtieri, Cook, Commerford and Pendotf. After about two weeks of practice the team was ready to play its initial contest. In their first game, on September 21, the Orange and Black journeyed down the valley to play Little Falls on their new athletic field. The game was nothing more than a practice for the Romans, the final score being Rome 33, Little Falls 0. Red Mammosser and Bob Gilbert, Rome backs, gave the fans plenty of thrills by making long dashes for touchdowns. Next, the Rome Free Academy warriors encountered Canastota on the Riverside gridiron. Although outweighed the Orange and Black were too speedy for the Canastotans and the final score showed that Rome had tri- umphed. On Saturday, October 5, Bill Keating took his team to Fulton to engage in their first game in the North-Central loop. Fulton, 1929 league champs, were powerless to hold the Rome team and found themselves at the short end of a 13 to 0 score at the close of the contest. Mammosser ramped through the Fulton team at will, scoring all of Rome's points. In its second league encounter R. F. A. entertained Watertown on Satur- day, October 13. The Rome team, although playing a loose game, beat the visitors by the slender margin of one touchdown and the extra point. Rome 7, Watertown 0. In the late years the games with Oswego High School have reached the point of a main game. Whenever these two schools clash there is always a great struggle, since they are usually evenly matched. When the Oswego footballers came to Rome on Saturday, October 20, it was generally consid- ered that the winner would capture the North-Central League title. In one of the best football games ever seen at Riverside Park the Rome team emerged victorious by the narrow margin of one point. In the final period, after bat- tling for three scoreless periods, the R. F. A. team started a march up the field which did not stop until Bob Gilbert, Rome back, had scampered over for the score. Bill Hojackni hit the line for the extra point which decided the game. Oswego came back strong in the next few minutes and scored a touch- down but by failing to make the point after touchdown they were defeated fDea O-Twain., -,Sta 'Pago 79 7 to 6. The friendly rivalry between R. F. A. and Oswego is clearly shown in this game by the lack of penalties for unnecessary roughness. On Saturday, October 27, the R. F. A. gridders concluded their League games by playing Oneida High School at Oneida. In direct contrast to their showing against Oswego the Romans, playing a poor game, were held to a 6 to 6 tie by a mediocre Oneida team. An error on the part of the officials deprived Rome of a second touchdown. After the game the officials admit- ted their mistake and recommended to the League officers that Rome be awarded the extra touchdown, but the League officials refused to acknowledge the disputed point. On Saturday, November 1, the Rome schools, R. F. A. and St. Aloysius, clashed in the annual battle for the city championship. In a hard-fought game the R. F. A. swineskinners eked out a 12 to 8 win over the Saints. The indi- vidual star of the game was Festa, a Saint back, who was practically the whole Aloysius team. Saturday, November 8, brought Utica Free Academy to Rome for the 28th grid classic of this section. The heavy Yellow and Wlwite team from Utica took a close 13 to 6. Herkimer High School and Rome Free Academy met on Saturday, Novem- ber 22, at Utica in the play-off for the championship of Central New Vork. Herkimer won by the narrow margin of one touchdown. The touchdown made by Rome was the only one scored upon Herkimer during the season. Rome 6, Herkimer 13.

THE CHAMPIONSHIP GAME WITH HERKIMER By virtue of winning the North-Central League, the Rome gridders were entitled to meet Herkimer High, champions of Sections II and III, the play coming off at the Utica Athletic Field on November 22. Herkimer had not been beaten nor scored upon during their season, so naturally they were favored to win. The Rome eleven, however, went to Utica with only one idea: to play its best. The Romans received and promptly started a march down the field. A fumble by a Rome man was recovered by a Herkimer player. The R. F. A. held and broke up the famed hidden ball play of the Herkimer team. Again Tagea 80 fDe, - GJ - Talain., ,Sta the Orange and Black started another march down the field which again was halted by a fumble. After that the ball see-sawed back and forth for the re- mainder of the first quarter. The Keatingmen could not gain after the rest period and Davis' punt was blocked and recovered by Herkimer. On the third play Saul Myers, Her- kimer back, raced a short distance to score. During the remainder of the half nei.ther team was able to gain. A short time after the second half began the Romans were penalized ten yards which placed the ball on Rome's ten-yard line. Ralph Tetzini tried to punt, but Bushman, opposing guard, broke through and blocked the kick and fell on it over the goal line for Herkimerls second touchdown. Bowers added the extra point with a placekick. Rome then worked the ball up to Herki- mer's thirty-yard line as the third quarter ended. Mammosser broke away for a nineteen-yard gain in the first play. A forward pass was awarded to Rome because of interference with the receiver. On the next play Red Mammosser circled the end for the score. The final whistle blew shortly after, and the score was R. F. R. 6, H. H. S. 15. THE UTICA GAME Saturday, November 8, brought together the two oldest interscholastic athletic rivals in Central New York in their twenty-eighth annual struggle. A large crowd was on hand to cheer for their respective teams. The bands of both Rome and Utica added color to the spectacle as they paraded the field. The Rome cheering was led by jack Bostwick, Bill Lynch, Peg jenkins, Lena Edwards and Betty Dorhamer. For the greater part of the initial period the honors were evenly divided between the two elevens. At the beginning of the second period the Uticans were put in a position to score, after recovering a poor Rome punt on the twenty-five yard line. The Orange and Black warriors held for three downs, but on the fourth Utica scored on a short pass, Irwin to Rabire, over the goal line. Irwin dropkicked the extra point, making the score: Utica 7, Rome 0. Rome then opened up with an aerial attack which was abruptly halted when Evans, Utica back, intercepted a pass and raced thirty-two yards for Utica's second touchdown. The half ended shortly afterward with Rome trying des- perately to score via the air route. The Orange and Black gridders came back strong in the third quarter but were unable to put over a score. However, as the quarter ended, Rome obtained the ball deep in Utica's territory. Witl1 the pigskin on Utica's twenty- yard line, Red Mammosser tossed a short pass to Donie Ross, Rome end, who scampered over the line for a touchdown. During the remainder of the contest Rome in desperation tried many passes in an attempt to score, but in vain. The contest was clean and hard fought throughout with but two five- yard penalties for each team. Lutz, Mammosser and Tucker played well for Rome and Garland and Irwin starred for the Uticans.

Cross Country When Coach Meldrim issued the call for Cross Country candidates about twenty men, among them several veterans, responded. From these candidates Coach Meldrim rounded out a well-balanced team to represent the school. Boonville sent a strong team of harriers to oppose Rome in their first match. In spite of their lack of practice the Romans showed a marked supe- riority over the Boonville team. The second meet was with Oswego. Here the Rome team suffered its only defeat, after putting up a gallant fight. The third and last meet brought the Utica Free Academy team to Rome. Here the Rome team won its most decisive victory, every Rome man placing among the first twelve. This meet brought the short season to a close with a commendable record.

They practiced faithfully and were rewarded by being asked to play in two preliminary games: One preceding the Oswego game and the other when the Faculty played the Reserves. The last of February, Miss Wliitaker picked teams from the Senior, junior and Sophomore classes to form a league. Each team played four games, the Seniors coming first in the league, as would be expected from their record of last year, when they finished second. Rita Golden was the high scorer, having made 26 points, with Millicent Hartman a close second with 24 points. The season closed with a banquet which was served in the cafeteria. CAROLYN ROSENBURGH, 30. 'Pago 84 fDo-O-'CQJain., ,Sta Basketball-1930-3 1 The Basketball season of 1930-31 was one of the leanest years experienced at the Rome Free Academy. Only nine times out of the twenty-four-game schedule did the Orange and Black come out on top. Rome finished in the cellar of the North-Central League, winning only two games out of the ten League contests. St. Aloysius regained the city championship, which R. F. A. has held for three straight seasons, with two consecutive wins. Tall players, which have been characteristic of previ.ous Rome teams, were conspicuous by their absence on this year's quintet. The short Rome five was handicapped greatly when playing against teams having elongated play- ers. Nevertheless, Captain Mammosser and his mates gave every team they played a fight and when defeated showed themselves to be good losers, which means more than a basketball game. After about two weeks of practice, the Academy cagers inaugurated their season on December 6, playing Whitesboro High School in the R. F. A. gym. The locals had no trouble in winning a 20-13 decision over the visitors. The following week, Little Falls High School came to Rome and easily defeated the R. F. A. quintet, 29-12. In the next game the Academy five took a 33-18 decision over Fulton in their first League appearance but the next night met a stumbling block at Her- kimer and were beaten 25-22 in an extra period game. On December 27, the local hoopsters defeated a Collegian team made up of such former R. F. A. stars at Bob Cook, Slim Mezza, Emilio Spada- fora, Chick Havens and Funzi and johnny Rienzo, in a charity game. 27-21. The game was close throughout, but the better teamplay of the High School decided the contest. The next week a classy New York Mills team came to Rome and admin- istered a 24-18 defeat to the locals, whose passwork was ragged and slow. The following week they met another defeat at the hands of Oneida High School in a North-Central League tilt. The final score was Oneida 19, R. F. A. 15. The next night the Orange and Black took a 27 to 13 win from North High of Syracuse. On Friday, January 16, Oswego's entry in the League came to Rome and after battling neck and neck throughout the whole contest edged out a 30-27 count over the local cagers. The defeat at the hands of Oswego was followed by defeats by Sherrill, Utica Free Academy, Saint Aloysius, in the first game for the city champion- ship, and Canastota. Then the Rome-basketeers broke their five-game losing streak by defeating Herkimer High in a speedy contest 26 to 15. The Rome team journeyed to Fulton the following week and were easily beaten 39 to 23 by the Fultonians. On the following night, playing without 'Dey O-Talain., -,Sta 'Pago 85 -Photo by MeClusk5'. the services of Captain Red Mammosser, the R. F. A. team lost the second game and the city championship to Saint Aloysius by the close score of 26 to 22. The Orange and Black, playing in hard luck, dropped its next game to Oneida 51-25, but made it two in a row over Syracuse North High the follow- ing night by defeating them 28 to 15. Davy Powers' Oswego five, leaders of the League, easily defeated the Romans 26 to 10 at Oswego. The next night, the Orange and Black won its seventh victory at the expense of Ilion High School, 27-20. In their last League game at Rome the Academy cagers defeated Sherrill High 27 to 23. Al Rizzuto was the 'lbig shot of the evening, scoring fifteen points. The next night Utica Free Academy again triumphed over the Rome quintet Z7 to 13. On March 6, the Orange and Black lost its final League game by one point to Canastota, the final score being 17-16. R. F. A. concluded its season the following night by defeating the Cahill All-Stars, winners of the City League, in a close game, 21-19.

Track 1931 Although hard hit by the loss of many of the 1930 tracksters, the 1931 team has shown up well in the two meets in which it has participated. A schedule of four meets has been arranged by Manager Doty. Leo Meldrim is coach of the team. On Saturday, May 2, the Rome runners traveled to Utica and came out second in a triangular meet with Utica Free Academy and Little Falls. Utica's team took first place with 61M points, Rome second with 41k points and Little Falls last with 16 points. In the annual invitation meet at Utica on May 15 the Orange and Black squad secured two places, Bill Taylor was third in the pole vault and Dave Miller was third in the high jump. Utica Free Academy won first place. The remainder of the schedule consists of the sectional meet at Colgate and a triangular meet with Sherrill and Oneida at Sherrill.

When the call for tennis candidates was made this spring, Catherine Bokus was the only veteran of the 1930 team. There were 14 candidates who answered this call. Elimination contests were postponed until finally the weather man sent us sunshine to dry the courts. As a result of these contests, Catherine Bokus, ,Qther Berndt, Billie Rothmund, Marian Long and Margorie Cahaney com- pose Rome Free Academy 1931 Tennis team. Catherine Golden is manager.

Although there are only four of the 1930 team left, Coach Keating has filled the gaps with a hard-hitting, hard-fighting group of players. Ralph Terzini, return catcher, is captain of the team. To date, the team has played six games, winning four and losing two. On April 29, the Rome nine opened its season with a 11-3 win over Cam- den High in a Central New York League game. On the following Saturday the Rome team edged out Oneida 4-2 in a league tilt played at Oneida. Utica came to Rome for the next game, on May 6, and by hitting often beat the locals 9-3. R. F. A.'s second defeat came at the hands of the Sherrill High School nine. Although Lyle We'bster, Rome pitcher, struck out 13 opposing batters, the Rome hitters could not get out of the hitting slump started in the Utica game and were blanked 5-0. 'Dey-Q-flalain., -Sta fljago QI On Friday, May 14, the Rome team came out of the slump and pounded three St. Aloysius pitchers for 15 hits and a 16-15 victory in the first game for the city championship.
