At Christmas our class took its first action as a unit. According to the tradition of the Academy, it was our duty to decorate the school. Our Junior year, much to our enjoyment, was marked by many more social events. In the early part of the term, our class gave a party exclusively for juniors. At this party, entertainment was furnished by members of the class in the form of dancing, card playing and refreshments. The climax of the vear was our reception for the class of '32 which took place in june, 1932. ln September of the same year, we obtained the distinguished rank of Seniors. Witli this distinction came the privilege of presenting a class play. Our play, t'Tommy,'l was presented on May 19, in the auditorium of the school and helped greatly in financing our class. The greatest task of our Senior year was the publication of the De-O-Waiii-Stat. This task was suc- cessfully accomplished under the guidance of Miss Kingsley, our faculty adviser, Willizliii Lynch, Editor-in-chief, and a competent staff.

Our first achievement was to decorate the school at Christmas time. Then we had our Sophomore party, which was a social and financial success. Entering into our junior year, we endeavored to fill the shoes of our prede- cessors which we did very capably. XWe had a junior party, which was a suc- cess. Wfe are now looking forward to a successful junior Prom, for which plans are being made. We heartily congratulate and sincerely wish the grad- uating class all the luck in the world.

Sophomore Class History In September, 1932, we entered the Rome Free Academy, having been graduated with due honor from the Rome Junior High School, the largest entering class the Senior High School has known in its entire history. XY'e approached, with fear and awe, a new upward step in our intellectual prog- ress, but now we are at home. Our first appearance before the public took place at Christmas time when we decorated the school for the festive occasion. The all-school dance, the Soph hop, was a financial success, enabling us to donate to the Trophy Case Fund the proud sum of ten dollars. Our deep appreciation is extended to the group of Seniors who willingly and ably as- sisted us in this success. As we look forward to our Junior year, we anticipate even greater deeds of valor in store for us. Congratulations, Seniors, and good luck.

The object of the Club is to learn to speak French more fluently, and to increase our knowledge of French customs. The business meeting, which is conducted in French, is followed by entertainment in the form of French plays, games, and discussions, which allow us to develop a cultural interest through a better understanding of France and the characteristics and customs of its people. Refreshments, served by an appointed committee, complete the eve- ning. A special feature this year is the Club pin.

We are proud of our success because there are few Senior High School troops in New York State. The object of this troop is to enable the girls to advance in scouting to the Golden Eagle rank. Scouting encourages troop activities as a means of fostering leadership, co-operation and loyalty. There are other activities in scouting, such as dra- matics, dancing, swimming, hiking, and camping. The Rome Free Academy Girl Scouts always observe Arbor Day by hiking to Camp Higham to spend the day there. The Girl Scouts have given dances and card parties in order to provide scholarships to send girls to Camp Kingsley for the Summer. The troop also plans to furnish a room at Camp Higham.

The girls who are in the Library Council go to the library certain days during their free periods. They learn to mend books, take care of circula- tion, check out and discharge books and many other things, A scrap-book con- taining items of interest about school activities is kept by the Council. This year the Council consists of the following girls: Josephine Yako- biszyn, jane Miller, Eleanor Bucknell, Eleanor Connick, Carol Thalman. Angelina Grieco, Pauline Damon, Betty Box, Amelia Kozma, Betty Marks, Doris Herrman, Alice Wfilson, Marion Chrisman, Elizabeth Wlmeeler and julia Lemish. Doris Fisher and Cora Pickard were also members during the fall term. A. KOZMA, '32. 'l'i- .'. iliii' rDeJfQ-qdain-5fa f1'hoto by Vhell The Band For the first time in the history of R. F. A. we have a successful band. Mr. Eustachio Pinti, who is one of the ablest band leaders in Rome, has done his utmost to make this band a success. The band gave a concert last fall, and bought very impressive looking uniforms with the proceeds. Dressed in these uniforms, the band played at nearly all of the football games last fall and added considerably to the school spirit. A second concert was given this spring. The band is composed entirely of Senior and junior High School students. GERARD SIMON, 33.

The orchestra has met the sixth period every Tuesday and Thursday and has very ably opened and closed most of our assembly programs for the past year. The orchestra will prob- ably make its final appearance this year at the commencement exercises. GERARD SIMON, '33.

An editor and an associate editor were appointed and the work was begun. A short time later four assistant editors were chosen from the students who had shown interest by helping with the work. At the same time an art editor and two associates were appointed. In order to make ir possible to do the work in the school's printshop, the illustrat- ing is done by means of linoleum blocks. Doing all the work in the Rome Free Academy makes it possible to present the magazine free of charge to all members of the Student Association. The Orange Parrot is a quarterly production designed to interest the stu- dents in literature of the better sort. The staff is made up of two departments.

' -P11010 by Uhell The R Club The R Club of Rome Free Academy came into existence during the spring term of 1935. It was organized by a group of lettermen to promote good fellowship and to sponsor all athletics in R. F. A. Members of the R Club are those who have won an R in any sport. At present there are thirty members including William Keating, Faculty Ad- viser, Bill Caswell, President, Glenn Van Dewalker, Vice President, and Richard Edell, Secretary and Treasurer. Immediately upon organizing, the Club was confronted with the task of securing funds to carry on the spring sports. A benefit dance was held on May 6 in the school with the hope of making enough money to finance base- ball, track and tennis. It was necessary, however, to run a season ticket cam- paign the following week, If it were only possible to gain the complete co-operation of the entire school, members of the R Club believe that their organization could finance athletics in R. F. A, WILLIAM CAswELL, 32. l-i gf, Q, ,', l i ' . rD5-Q-qdain-Sta - . 423525 Science Club The Science Club was organized in November, 1952. A group of Seniors working in co-operation with Mr. Bates formulated the plans for the Club and proceeded to map out some of its activities. The chief aim of the Club is the diffusion and dissemination of all scientific knowledge and experi- ments. This indicates the broad purposes of the Club. At each meeting there are two lectures given by members, Following these lectures there is an in- formal discussion of the subjects spoken about. The Club is composed of Seniors and finishing juniors. The applicants for admission must have character, an interest in science, and have studied three sciences. The social activities of the Club have consisted of an initiatory banquet held in the school cafeteria at which Dr. B. F. Golly, J. Ferlo and C. DeLutis were guests. The middle of May, eight members of the Club visited Wluet- stone Gulf. The day was spent exploring rocks and discussing rock forma- tions. Every member of the Club is writing a thesis which is to be left to the future Club for reference work. Each person is writing about his own avoca- tion. The first year of organization has been very successful and we hope for just as successful a Club in the years to come.

There was also a sleighride planned. Officeaf: P1'e.i'if1'efzt ...... ..... H ugh Graham Vim P1'emz'w1f . . . . . .Warreim Trabant Huou GRAHAM, 63.

The High School band opened the program by playing two selections under the direction of Prof. Eustachio Pinti. Mr. Newton introduced the speakers and announced their topics. Eleanor Spraggins first gave a very good recitation of The Soul of the Violin, by Margaret Mantell Merrill. A violinist, tempted to sell his Cre- mona because of need, finds it too human and full of memories to lose in any circumstances. Teresa Wittenbtirg next offered a one-act play, The Twelve-pound Look, by Sir james M. Barrie, Teresa vividly portrayed the domineering Lord Sims and his timid Lady. Lord Sims learns, to his amazement, that his former wife left him, not for another man, but as soon as she had earned twelve pounds and was self-supporting. Charlotte Levitt then presented an excellent and amusing interpretation of XXfomen's Rightsf' by Tabitha Primrose. The topic was a speech on womans suffrage given before an assembly of women. It described the dull- ness of a world without women. . Q. LSL ,', qDgQ-GD-qdain-5fa Eleanor Bucknell very ably gave an unusual selection Faith Sublimef by joseph J. Ferlo. The story dtalt with the faith of foreign laborers in their chief, the owner of the bank. Wortluington, determined to commit suicide be- cause the bank was failing, was stopped by the memory of his father. Helen Mead then painted a realistic glimpse of war in The Bombard- ment, by Amy Lowell. The shelling of the city starts a fire, drowning the cries of children and utterly devastating the cathedral. During a short intermission the band played again. Then the second half of the program was opened by Wfayne Sexton with UA Passion in the Desert, by Honore de Balzac. A panther makes a wonderful friend to a prisoner escaped from the Arabs. But jealousy over a bird his master found, necessitated the animals death, to the regret of the soldier, who realized what a strange pal he had made. Anthony Angelo ably rendered an anonymous piece, The Burden of War. Men who fight and die are honored with monuments and every rec- ognition, but mothers who must only wait are forgotten. Next, Raymond Hanchar was heard in The Man Wlitu Wzilks Alonef' by james B. Lowther. Sports have always attracted the attention of a large number of people, but those who turn toward scholarship find themselves alone. Charles Levitt recited Ropes, by Stanford Clinton with excellent effect. The topic is an argument favoring life imprisonment in opposition to capital punishment. The latter attains nothing, only destroying life without correct' ing the results of environment and heredity, The last number was The Unseen Witness,'l by Kathryn Wayne, given by Weston jenkins. The tale concerns the trial of a seventeen-year-old boy accused of murdering a friend. In spite of his older brother's moving appeal, the verdict guilty was given. Such an unexpected decision influenced the judges son to confess the deed. The band entertained until the judges' decision was made. Edwin Ste- vens, instructor in Public Speaking at Colgate University, Miss Thelma Hengre, Public Speaking Instructor of Wfaterville High School, and N. j. Blanchette, Instructor in Public Speaking of Sherrill High School, chose the winners. The prizes were awarded by Mr. Blanchette. The first prizes of twenty dollars each were captured by Charlotte Levitt and her brother, Charles. Teresa Wittenburg and Anthony Angelo received the second prizes of ten dollars each. Credit for coaching and training the contestants and making the event successful must be given to Mrs. Bates.

The first was Speaking to Father, a comedy by George Ade. This was followed by Bread, by Ered Eastman, and 'Sup- pressed Desires, by Susan Galspell. The scene of the first play, Speaking to Father, was in the office of the Pickering Pickle Company. Caroline Pickering Uane Eraverj was in love with l1er jiggsy, or in other words, Edward Wortliington Swinger, a college grad- uate, who, in reality, was Walter Sezna. Septimus Pickering, the Pickle King, did not approve of jiggsy because he had no money, no experience, and no business abilityg besides he was a tennis player! This burly business man was excellently acted by Carl Trabant. In the meantime, Luella Pickering, who was Septimus' wife and a very busy club woman, was going to bring home her latest find in the form of Professor Bliss, an apostle of repose, and marry him to her daughter. These two parts were very well taken by Carol Thalman and Theodore Mast. Wlhen Septimus saw Professor Bliss he threw up his hands in despair and said that it was a toss-up between a tennis player and a he-canary. However, the ten- nis player won out and Caroline got her jiggsy. Each member of the cast took his part easily and naturally, making the play a great success. - R f-gf' CQ. .'. - -l . fD5-Q,TQain.5fa - . The play Bread was written in behalf of the farmer and it portrayed the hardships of a farmer struggling to make his farm pay. The roles of John and Martha Curtis, a poor farmer and his wife, were excellently interpreted by Edward Getbehead and Betty Buckingham. Martha Curtis wanted a piano for her children, so for three years she had saved her butter money and her youngest daughter, Betty, well acted by Mary Golly, had saved her egg money. Finally they had enough. Immediately jim, the son, was sent with a note to the bank allowing him to draw out the money and buy the piano. Carlton Castle splendidly played the part of a farmer boy who thought the town boys had it soft and wanted to live in the city. Then the old mare died and john Curtis declared that he must have the piano money to buy a tractor. jim returned from town and confessed that there was no money in the bank because he had lost it gambling. However, Stella, the blind daughter, a very difficult part acted very well by Betty Ann libsen, came to the rescue with the announcement that she had saved sixty dollars from her basket weaving and would be willing to have it used as a first payment on a new tractor. Humor was added to the play by Grandma, who frequently expressed her ideas and declared that they needed a bathroom in the house before they needed either a piano or a tractor, Alice Wfilson made a particularly good old woman and acted the part with much ease. The third play, Suppressed Desires, took place in a New York apart- ment house. Henrietta Brewster fRuth Bishoppj was an addict of psycho- analysis, which is a method of investigating suppressed desires through the subconscious mind, and persuaded her husband Stephen fGlenn Spraguej, and her sister Mabel fHelen Bishoppj, who was visiting her, to go to Dr. Russell to be 'tpsychedfl However, when she learned that Stephen had a suppressed desire to be free from marriage and that Mabel had a suppressed desire for Stephen, she gave psychoanalysis up forever. Since Henrietta was going to separate from psychoanalysis, Stephen saw no reason why he should separate from her and he advised Mabel to keep on suppressing her desire for him. Ruth and Helen Bishopp portrayed the parts of the sisters admirably and Glenn Sprague played to perfection the role of the harassed husband. Mrs. Bates, under whose direction the plays were presented, deserves much of the credit for their success and we would like to thank her and the entire cast at this time for their splendid work.

C5-4, .'. , 5 qD0-Q-qdain-SIa . Senior Play This year the Senior Class chose a three-act comedy, Tommy, by How- ard Lindsay and Bertrand Robinson, as a vehicle to carry them to success. The story deals with the efforts of two young men who attempt to win the hand of a girl who had been domineered by her parents all her life. Poli- tics and advice from an elderly uncle so complicate their efforts that everyone is given a few anxious moments before everything ends well. Gerard Simon, as Bernard, played the part of the high-pressure salesman who couldn't sell himself to pretty Marie Thurber, played by Margery Guyer. His self confidence and assured manners provided much of the amusement in the play. Margery Guyer handled her role of the domineered daughter very skillfully, while Wayne Sexton, in the role of Tommy Mills, the successful suitor, proved to be as romantic as any girl could wish. His efforts to be thrown out of the Thurber home were amusing as well as successful. The domineering and haughty Mrs. Thurber was skillfully portrayed by Tercsa Wittenburg. Carl Trabant was well cast as Mr. Thurber, the owner of a livery stable. Their enactment of the trials of a middle-aged couple was very well done. Edward Getbehead, as David Tuttle, gave a good performance. His poli- tics and freely given advice complicated things somewhat, but he set every- thing right in the end. Alice White and George Grow were good in their respective roles of the judge and Mrs. Wilson. Much of the success of the play was due to the excellent directing and coaching of Mrs. Curtis E, Bates.

Football has always held a paramount position in our school sports and activities. We have always been represented by a team with the R. F, A. fight- ing spirit. Victory always gave confidence, and defeat gave added vigor and the determination to win. This year we supported a team whose record has been paralleled by only one other R. F. A. team. The players worked together like parts of a watch, each co-operating with the other. We call this team work, the major factor of a successful team. As a result, we had a winning team. There were some who displayed extraordinary ability in their particular position throughout the season, and gained enviable records, To be sure, the ball carriers were clever dodgers and fast runnersg but we must not forget the work of their fellow . LR qv, Q .'. - ,lL . qD6'Q'qUGin-Sta .. . teammates, who provided excellent assistance in executing their carefully planned plays. In short, we distribute credit evenly among the players. The scrubs also deserve much credit for their untiring efforts to provide the varsity with tough scrimmage, and to help develop a perfect team, They must also share the spoils of victory which they have helped create. Our coach and his most capable assistant are greatly responsible for our successful team of '32. Their ceaseless endeavor and patience went a long way in developing the perfect team. They observed and rectified all mistakes, and demonstrated the correct methods, and by doing so, turned out a group of remarkable football players and fine, well-disciplined boys. They instilled that spirit which is necessary to assure clean, rugged, and intelligent playing. Because they were the ream's greatest assets, they justly deserve unbounded credit. LITTLE FALLS 13-6 We pried the lid off the '32 football season by entertaining the Little Falls team here at Riverside Park. We were favored to win, and although we outplayed them, the score was not very impressive, being only 15 to 6. Our Blond Flash, Walt Sezna, secured the entire 13 points. Our powerful machine resembled a huge truck with its power wheels spinning in the mud. lt was evident that the team had enough power, but lacked smoothness. FULTON 12-6 On the following Saturday we journeyed to Fulton to participate in our first league game. Since this was the first league game, both teams entered the contest with no knowledge of the other's strength. But again we emerged victorious only after a hard-fought battle in which our fleet-footed Art Wil- liams constantly broke loose for long gains and scored both touchdowns. Although still a little ragged, the team showed signs of improvement. WATERTOWN 12-0 On October the eighth we played host to the Watertown team. Our snappy aggregation clicked for the first time in the season by scoring a touch- down on the second play of the game. On this play, Williams, our fullback, ran 72 yards for the touchdown behind perfect interference. In the latter part of the first quarter Walt Sezna broke loose and ran for the second and last score of the game. The remainder of the game was a hard, rugged battle during which neither team threatened to score. OSWEGO 7-6 On the following Saturday, Oswego came here to engage in what prom- ised to be our toughest league game. Because of the fact that three of our reg- ulars were on the injured list and that Oswego was at top strength, the out- come was decidedly uncertain. Our hopes were lowered when Oswego recov- ered a Rome fumble which resulted in a touchdown for them. Fortunately, . , qv, J11,,', ,,i , . .qDeg-GD-:ZQJCl,f11-Sta .' they did not convert the kick after the touchdown. The team entered the second half with renewed vigor which culminated in a touchdown made by Sezna. The much-needed extra point was made by H. Sexton, our educated- toed quarterback. After this our team worked perfectly and yielded only a few yards, As a result of this game our hopes ran high for a championship team, ONEIDA 15-6 We played our last league encounter at Oneida. Our team functioned perfectly, and led by our backfield, piled up a total of 15 points against 6 for Oneida. Again the Blond Blizzard Sezna secured both touchdowns, one in the first half and the other in the closing minutes of the game. Our field gen- eral, Sexton, converted one of the extra points. Oneida swelled our total two points by falling on one of our fumbles over our own goal line and making a safety. This game was important because we clinched the championship title of Section I. It was our first victory over the Duncanites since 1927. S. A. A. 28-0 The next week S. A. A. proved easy victims for our strong aggregation. The game was a single-sided struggle. The Saints never threatened. Our ball carriers, Sezna, Caswell, Williams and Rossi, accumulated 28 points. The Saints played well but could not pierce the Academy defense. And thus we remained City Champions. ROME-UTICA 28-0 On the 5th of November, a crisp Autumn day, Utica Free Academy jour- neyed here to participate in our annual football classic. Our band was present, lending a touch of color with their snappy orange and black uniforms. Thirty- five hundred people filled the bleachers and all the other available space. All the Orange and Black supporters were looking for victory and spared no vocal efforts in advertising the fact. Captain Van Dewalker won the toss for Rome and elected to receive. Angerosa, Utica center, kicked off to Sezna, who took the ball on the 15-yard line, and eluding several tacklers, sped into the open and behind perfect inter- ference, raced 85 yards for a touchdown almost before the echo of the open- ing whistle died away. Sexton place-kicked the goal for the extra point. After this surprising run, Utica again kicked off to Rome, and after an exchange of punts and two running plays had advanced the ball to Rome's 35-yard line, Rossi, on a reverse, dodged several would-be tacklers and ran 67 yards to ring up our second touchdown of the game. Sexton again converted the extra point. After Zimmerman of Utica intercepted a Rome pass, the quarter ended. From the 41-yard line Rome launched a drive to the 25-yard line from where Rossi picked his way through the Utica team and crossed the goal line standing up, only to have the score nullified and a five-yard penalty imposed for offside play. After this, Sezna crossed the line, but again the play was l qi. cg. C20 :O -1--- . K rlD2J-Q-rZQ2ai11-Sta f . nullified. Another Rome drive resulted in another touchdown by Sezna after Serrino did the bulk of the work in bringing the ball to a scoring position. Sexton again kicked the extra point, swelling the score to 21-O. We kicked off ro Utica, who with the aid of penalties, advanced to our 25-yard line, where Hayes, substitute quarterback, intercepted one of their passes. And so the half ended, 21-O. The third period was the least colorful quarter of the game during which there was an exchange of punts as Utica played for a scoring break while the Keatingmen were protecting their 21-point lead. Neither team worked the ball past midfield as Sexton and Zimmerman engaged in a kicking duel. In the final period, Utica resorted to the air and threw passes of all de- scriptions in all directions in a dying effort to cross the Rome goal line. After a successful pass, Utica advanced to our 10-yard line. This was the first real danger of being scored upon during the game. The Academy line braced and Trabant rushed in and spilled Pritchard for a 5-yard loss in the coffin corner as the big Utican attempted to skirt his own left end. A pass to Pritch- ard gave Utica the ball on the 5-yard line on the fourth down. Again Trabant dove through and spilled the ball-carrier for a loss. Sexton kicked out of danger and on an exchange of punts Rome received the ball on her own 8-yard line. Then runs by Rossi, Sezna and Serrino brought the oval up to the Uti's 9-yard line. After a Utica penalty of 7 yards, Serrino went over for the fourth and final touchdown of the game. Sezna skirted our right end for the extra point. Shortly after this, the game ended with the score at Rome 28, Utica 0. The entire Rome team played a very good game. Sezna, Serrino, Rossi and Sexton secured our 28 points, but must share the limelight with the rugged linemen who put up an unpenetrable defense. Utica fought a game but losing battle. We had a perfect all-American cheering section which was very active. Our snappily outfitted band played before the game and serenaded the Utica stands between halves. The music was very inspiring and peppy. Our team was well supported by practically the entire student body and many townspeople. By defeating Utica, we broke a chain of defeates which Utica had handed us for four years in succession. Spirits ran high after we defeated our old rival Utica. There was a reg- ular session on Monday morning, but all were looking forward to the crema- tion. In the afternoon there were services in the auditorium led by the most reverend George P. Q. Lascelles. Everyone was in mourning and death's shadow was cast over the entire auditoriurn. The services were a howling suc- cess. Gaiety reigned, but soon the long death march began. The casket was carried out of the auditorium to the merry strains of the 'Funeral Marchf, The funeral procession organized in front of the school on Turin Street. An old caission was used as the funeral coach. The casket was placed on it and guarded by the entire varsity team. Capt. Van Dewalker and Walt Sezna were head coachmen. The sophomores were used as motive power, pulling the carriage with a long rope. The seniors and juniors were lined up behind the funeral coach. Our cheerleaders and our trim school band headed the l-' 11 cgi. A ,'. qDQ,i-Glftzdain-5fa procession. In this formation, we marched through the business section and then back to the school. Hundreds of people lined the streets to witness the colorful spectacle and exhibition of school loyalty and good sportsmanship. Behind the tennis courts there was a huge pile of wood. We set this on fire and when the flames were dancing merrily in the air, we threw the re- mains of our old defeated rival into their midst. Wfe all remained until only ashes were left of our dear old U. F. A. ROME-HERKIMER 18-0 After defeating our ancient rival, Utica, we had our thoughts and hopes trained on the Central New York championship struggle with Herkimer. The highly-touted Little Magicians had defeated us before in this classic school- boy struggle and we were determined not to have this feat repeated. The field was covered ankle-deep with mud and surrounded by pools of water. In spite of the cold, rainy weather, there were thousands of spectators and ardent supporters of both teams. The weatherman must have sensed the defeat of Herkimer because the day was very dark and dreary. The Herkimer team seemed to suffer the most because of the mud, Their magic was made more fantastical but less effectual with the aid of the mud. But the Rome backs felt right at home and gained ground incessantly. The Rome offensive was led by Art Xlifilliams, who made three touchdowns. Rossi, Sexton, Serrino and Sezna also played good games, They were all very in- strumental in our overwhelming victory. The linemen deserve very much credit, lt was really they who solved the Morgan magic, Many of them, particularly Schuler, Trabant and Rizzio. played in the Herkimer backfield all afternoon. The rugged defense of the line was very noticeable and commendable. They broke up practically every play that the Morganmen had in their repertoire, At night the team attended the banquet at Hotel Martin, where the Rome athletes were presented the O-D trophy for winning the baseball chain- pionship last Spring and the league's football trophy for defeating Herkimer.

The game with Utica was lost by 2 points, which were made in the last few minutes of play. Our attack was led by Jim Rossi and Bill Link. The last game in 1932 was played with the All-Colle- gians in which R. F. A. enjoyed a victory of 22-16. R. F. A. engaged in its first league encounter january 6 by journeying to Canastota. The team, realizing the importance of the starter, played hard from the beginning, and, led by the outstanding play of jim Rossi and Harlow Sexton, lript a lead on the Canastota team during the whole game. achieving a 25-18 win. The following week proved disastrous as we met a stinging defeat at the hands of our city rival, St. Aloysius, fbefore the largest crowd of the seasonj by a 17-31 score. On Friday, the 13th, the team went down to a 22-40 defeat at the hands of the defending champions, Oswego, and on the same week-end trip met a similar fate at Fulton by bowing to a 29-34 count. To add to the misery of the disheartened squad and students, in the fol- lowing week Manlius administered a 52-31 trouncing to the Orange and Black quintet. V But on the following week-end, after drastic changes in the line-up, things began to take on a new light. Fulton journeyed here and the R. F. A. team. showing its best form of the season, broke :he jifzx by defeating the visitors in a 23-21 win. Salce proved to be the hero when he threw a field goal and a foul in the overtime period of the game. The past was soon forgotten when the team took over Oneida by a 25-19 victory and secured second place in the league contest. The joy was further heightened by the defeats of Wlaitesboro, 24-17, St, Aloysius in a thrilling game ending 25-23, and Oneida again in the hard fought battle by a 28-21 score. In these five victorious games the individual work of Faye Ritchie, Glenn Sprague, Harlow Sexton, jim Rossi and Sil Salce was outstanding. Again the team slowed its pace to go down to three defeats: first, at the hands of St. Aloysius in the third encounter, February 10, by a 23-25 count losing the city championship, next when they let a fast Sherrill outfit trounce them by at 50-9 score, and again before the onslaught of the defending champions, Oswego. 17-34. Avenging themselves of their first encounter R. F. A. put down the visit- ing Sherrill team in a strictly home evening by a 32-20 win. In this game Artie Williarns and Dick Edell proved very effective on the defense. On March 3rd the R. F. A. tossers were determined to stay in the race for the title of runner-up and accordingly emerged victorious from a hotly fought contest X qi, 92, ,', : qD2y-GD-Tdain-Sta . with Canastota in which the final score was 28-25. R. F. A. ended its regular schedule in bowing to a 19-50 defeat administered by our ancient rival, Utica Free Academy. As a result of defeating Canastota, R. F. A. clinched the title of runner-up and therefore was entitled to play for the championship in the Section B finals. The starter was held in Canastota March 11 with Eastwood High as rivals. At the end of the first half of the game Eastwood was leading by 10 points, but in the last half by an attack led by Edell and Rossi, who together netted 17 points, the R. F. A. basketeers overcame the Syracuse team by the very close score of 26-25. On March 18, R. F. A. was granted the privilege of playing Herkimer High School in Oneida for the championship of Section B. The team went to Oneida not too confident of winning over the famed magicians, but, with a determination to fight to the last, they easily solved the Morganmen's magic and defeated Herkimer by a 26-16 count. This victory gave the Keatingmfn the title of runner-up and Section B champions. R. F. A. closed its success- ful and surprisingly interesting basketball season by defeating Cahill's, a local team, by a 211-22 score. CARL TRABANT, '53. PSGY?

CANASTOTA The Rome Free Academy's baseball season opened with a brilliant 14-1 victory over Canastota, a team regardcd as one of the strongest in this section. Witlm the excellent pitching of Captain Billy Rienzo, who twirled a one-hit game, the Keatingmen showed signs of capably defending the cup they earned last season. ONEIDA ln the second league tilt, the Academy nine showed further promising signs. The Oneidans were held to 3 runs while the Orange and Black beat out 11 runs. johnny Consilio was continuously in the limelight as he caught a splendid game and also secured four hits. Charlie Mathis in the outfield and Billy Rienzo at shortstop also were outstanding. VERONA Still holding to this winning streak, the Rome Free Academy squad showed real power in defeating a scrappy Verona nine, battling out a 10-hit game led by johnny Consilio. The Verona team was held down by the pitch- ing of Roser, Stanley and Stropp. SI-IERRILL Rome took its first setback of the season by dropping its third league game to Sherrill High School by a 10-9 score. The Romans held their ground till the ninth inning when Sherrill knocked out four runs and then another in the tenth Home runs were hit for Rome by Bove and Rienzo. UTICA Avenging the Sherrill setback the veteran Orange and Black tossers found victory in the midst of an inexperienced Utica outfit. Every member of the Rome team played a hard and brilliant game. . '1iC3f.cfQ,.'.Ig33 -1. X: qDe2-Q-Tdainfgfa S: ALOYSIUS The Rome tossers took the fifth win of the season in defeating St, Aloysius by a 6-3 score in the first of the city scholastic battles. Held to six hits, the Keatingmen barred out all their runs in the third, fourth and fifth innings. ONEIDA The Romans took on Oneida for the second time in the fourth league encounter by a l0-4 count, Richard Stropp, varsity moundsman, pitched a no- hit game for the first six innings before he went wild in the seventh, allowing Oneida four runs. Rienzo chalked up three runs of Rome's 10 runs. N. Y. C. The Romans took their second setback of the season by bowing to a 7-2 defeat at the hands of the New York Centrals, a local outfit, but redeemed themselves in a second encounter at the end of the week by defeating them by a close 6-5 score. SHERRILL The Aeademy's hopes of a second consecutive Central League title and a Clean sweep of Central New York sport title were shattered when Sherrill High upset the Kearingmen by a scant 3-2 score. The lone scores of the Orange and Black diamond squad were accounted for by Glenn Sprague. We now leave the Keatingmen in the hopes that they may take second place honors in the League, a fear which they Probably will accomplish when they defeat Canastota. CARL TRABANT.

' Girls ' Prophecy I was at my country home located in the quiet surroundings of the Adi- rondacks. I sat in my comfortable old rocker, smoking my pipe and Watching the glorious evening sunset when I began reminiscing, My thought wandered back to childhood and from there to early manhood, where I paused to re- fresh my memory with the acquaintances I had made in high school, good old R, F. A. I began to think of the years it had been since I had seen my old friends and the good old school that I once thought I would be glad to leave, I wondered what had happened to all the graduates of my class. It would be great to know what they all were doing. I was interrupted in my pleasure by the sound of an old car rattling up the road to my home. The car stopped and the postman hopped out and ran up to me, handed me the evening mail and was gone. I immediately started to open the mail when I noticed a news- paper postmarked Rome, New York. I picked it up and quickly ripped open the sticker, and to my surprise found it to be an edition of the Rome Sentinel, dated June 28, 1960. I was very anxious to read of the happenings back in the old town so I went into my house and arranged myself and surroundings for a few quiet hours of reading. My attention was at once attracted to front page headlines, 'KMiss Call Edits Sentinel Twenty Years. I was very interested, and upon reading further I found that it was the same Miss Call that was so gifted in Editorial work in high school and who was connected with the Orange Parrot, the old high school literary magazine. Upon reading further, I came upon an article Mrs. -l-- Addresses Mothers on Care of Children. I began to read this article when I remembered that Joyce Morton, an old classmate, had married and Mrs. fl l- was none other than Joyce. It seems Joyce had been giving a series of lectures to the mothers of high school chil- dren on the care and conduct of high school students. Being much amused at this, I turned my attention to a bit of scandal, which was the trial of Marjorie Guyer. I found that Marjorie, who was serving in the capacity of ,'bouncer at the Dutcher 84 Durr Cafe, was charged with beating maliciously my good friend Elsa Bern, who tried to chisel Marjorie's miniature boy friend, who was acting as doorman at the same cafe. The trial was being held in the Old County Court House with Judge Elizabeth Wlieeler presiding. The attorney for the defense was the Honorable Bernice Rebisz, who had gained nation- wide prominence through her oratorical ability. Miss Bern was represented by Attorneys Alder and Patala, who, as I remember, were close friends during high school days. The witnesses for the defense were Anna Leiber, who was the cook at the cafe, also Ruth Bishopp, who witnessed the tussle as she was making her weekly delivery of eggs. Next on the witness stand was Betty Marks, who was driving a taxi for the firm of Mae Seifert and Carolyn Bates. Then came Edith Abbe and Josephine Kozma, who were appearing for Bern, the complainant, but their evidence proved very valuable to the defense. The Jury, composed of Dora Clemens, professional cabaret singer, Margaret Coleman, toe dancer, Grace Poile, milkmaid, Doris Dotzler-Redmond, tatoo 2 , Kg, A .. n.!e s' l qD5-Q-qfjain-Sta a s artist, Doris Smith, renouned Sorority organizer, Margaret Tierney, dietitian in Gansevoort Inn, Iolando Andronaco, a commercial teacher, Irene Nellen- bach, horse fancier, Margaret Smith, author, jane Fraver, a well known jew- eler, Norene Francescone, telephone operator, Josephine Cupak, saleslady, took little time in acquitting Marjorie Guyer as the jury figured that Elsa was big enough to take care of herself. After reading this interesting article, I noticed that the theater, operated by Damon 8: Dahn, was presenting a feature bill. The feature picture starred 'Ieresa Wittenburg and Audrey Soloman in I'll Get By, with an accompany- ing comedy starring the well-known comedians, Drexel and Evans, in 'Giggles of Childhood. My attention was now attracted to the sport page where I noticed a comic strip edited by Carol Thalman. My curiosity led me to investigate the present high school athletics, where I found that Eugenie Carpenter had just finished coaching the girls' basketball and track teams through a very successful season. I was also very happy to read that Helen jacobus had been appointed line coach of the 1961 football squad together with her duties as assistant physical director. Nosing into the scouting activities I found that Eleanor Bucknell, who was Scout Ekecutive of Fort Stanwix Council, had just completed a suc- cessful Field Day. She was assisted in her work by Scout Commissioners Lemish, Chrisman and Bosca. Trop 81, whose Scoutmaster was Dot Toepp, won first place, with Grace Urso's Troop 54 following a close second. The winning troop won the privilege of spending a two-week period at the Beasley Scout Camp. In rambling about through the paper, I found an announcement of the new faculty at Rome Free Academy. Irma Kuehncwas principal, Margaret Andrews, secretary. The English department was made up of Alice Wilson, Theona Potter and Eleanor Spraggins. The language department was com- posed of Louise Gannon, Lating Eleanor Connick, Germang Felsy Dabrowski, French, and Vincenza Norelli, Spanish. The mathematics department was made up of Carmella Sparace, Lois Dunn, and Evelyn Bower. The commer- cial department was under the capable tutelage of Helen Harrison, who had gained valuable information while serving under Mr. Moe. She was assisted by Ida Sharron and Rosetta Smith, who had been very apt students in their day. The History Department was under the direction of Pauline Soboleski and Rose Vescio, who had greatly changed their ideas of history since leaving school. Pauline Streun was listed in the Home Economics Department as she had gained valuable training while nursing. Peg Watson was to assume the duties in the cafeteria because of the absence of Mary Pironi, who had resigned from the faculty to take up household duties made possible through her marriage. The Science Department was made up of Helen DeForest and Ethel Norton, the one-time Chemistry sharks of R. F. A. It would be great to be back in school now with all my old classmates as teachers. I'd be sure to be on the honor roll and head my class in every subject. My curiosity had now changed and I wished to see who was carrying on the business of Rome. In looking through the advertisements, I found that ' T933 --1---' l . rlDCy-Q-tZOJLli1'1-'SCCl, . Barbara Abruzzio and Alfretta Akins were running a country dance hall. The music was being furnished by Margaret Dalglish and Her Moonlight Sere- naders with Sophie Adamski doing the honors of calling off the square dances. Underneath that advertisement I read that Valeria Banasiewicz, who was the president of a great coal mine, was to visit Rome by plane, and during her stay the pilot and co-pilot, who happened to be Fannie Pronevitch and Mary Nisiewicz, would take up passengers. The plane was to remain at Seifert Field during the stay at Rome. I now noticed the advertisement of Bowers, Beebe 8 Bernholz, Attorneys- at-Law, who were operating their legal firm in the new office building owned by jane Davies and Elizabeth Gecosky, which was located on the corner of Dominick and james streets. I also noticed that Carmella Giarclino had opened up a new drug store on Dominick street and had employed Susie Kirk- land and Louise Pacelli, two very experienced druggists. I saw that Helen Davis, noted truck gardener, had found a new type of celery. Taking a last glance at the paper, I found that I had missed a few very interesting subjects. I saw that the Civic Symphony, under the able direction of Marjorie White, had presented its last concert. Ethel Semo, playing the trumpet, was one of the outstanding soloists of the evening. Dorothy Smith. a great contralto, accompanied by Dilys jones at the piano, sang some very pleasing numbers, one of which was a poem written by Barbara Hartman and set to music by Angelina Grieco. I also found out that Emma Spraggins and Ruth Rathbun, two very able nurses, had received their degrees and were changing to a doctor's professsion They were hiring Pernal Murphy for office girl. Theodora janone and Isabel. Goff had just returned from a professional hairdressing school and were start- ing their business immediately. I saw that Elizabeth Rienzo had started a Girls' baseball team and that Doris Herrman, famous shortstop, and Bronia Skorobogaty, a noted catcher, were trying out for the team. Cora Pickard, a great runner, was trying to make the Olympic team for the 100-yard dash. I saw that Elizabeth Kilbourn and Alberta Pillmore were operating a farm school in Westernville. Witli this I had completed the reading of the paper, and started to open my mail. The first letter I found was from my old schoolmate, Marjorie Koenig, who had been responsible for my receiving the Sentinel. From her letter I learned that Marjorie and Frances Cataldo were in the bus business together. They transported students from outlying districts to school. This business was evidently very profitable, as both the girls were sporting new roadsters with which they were attempting to find the man of their dreams. As I finished this letter, I was brutally interrupted by the severe attack of my wife, who was beating and threatening me for having stayed up so late. I was unable to ask the time as my wife had a widespread reputation for being able to talk long and fast without saying a thing. Soon I heard the cookoo clock exclaim the time as 3 o'clock, so I really didn't blame my wife a bit for being angry with me and quickly submitted to her constant plea to go to bed. EDWARD GETBE1-HEAD, '35 . C54,.', .o T9-Q-wain-LSIQ Boys' Prophecy It was the year 1963, and as I alighted from the airship at the Rome Air- port on my return from Mars, I was met by Lewis Coon. He immediately in- formed me that he was the President of the Inter-Planetary News League, and that he could tell me something about everyone. On my asking him for news of the boys who had graduated with me in 1933, he reeled off the follow- ing amazing facts. Bill Lynch was President of the United States. His election was due to the efforts of the brilliant politician, Carlton Castle, who managed his party. Wfhenever the arguments in Congress became too riotous, Bill convened both Houses and had them listen to the world famous humorist, Ted Mast, until all parties were in a better humor. lf the Senators and Representatives could not decide a certain issue Bill had them play a basketball game. Sylvester Salce had been coaching the Representatives for years, but jimmy Rossi had just been elected to coach the Senators, Arthur Hall, Leon Esch, Charles Ferguson and Milton Houser were in the House of Representatives, while Donald Outwater was the Speaker of the House. Patsy Taverna was our Ambassador to France, fl remembered that he had always been very diplomatic in all his affairs at school.j Guiseppe Giar- dina was our Minister to Norway and his appearance gave added weight to his decisions. David Abrahams had recently introduced in the Senate a bill providing for the installation of a small radio set for each Senator. David wanted to listen in on the Spinelli Symphony Station broadcasting from New York City every afternoon. Michael Kainski, a Senator from New York, introduced sixty-three amendments and asked for another war on the grounds that stu- dents in American History did not have enough to study. Fortunately no action had been taken. i George Grow was Chief justice of the Supreme Court. Edward Gerbe- head, Jerome Burdick and Henry Bush were Assistant justices. Ernest Pelton was Postmaster General and was known as a man of letters. Carl Trabant was a lawyer connected with the Supreme Court and was famous for his abil- ity to talk a jury into agreeing with him. Norman Campbell was also in Washington, but not as an official. He had obtained permission from the government to live at the top of the Wasliington Monument and was able to live away from crowds. According to Lewis, not all the boys had gone into politics. Glenn Van Dewalker was the Principal and also the football coach of a Martian univer- sity which had been named in his honor, after his team had won the champion- ship of the Earth-Martian League. Several of the teachers at Van Dewalker University were boys from our class. Raymond Hanchar was teaching Elocu- l-' C-gi, CSA, .'. l1 'DQ.Q.1Qafn-Sta l'- tion. Walter Maksylewcz had charge of the Mathematics Department, while Frank Fiaschetti earned his living by teaching Dramatics and Deportment. In the morning Clayton Lewin taught Martians, American History and in the afternoon they taught him Martian History. Coming back to earth in his story, Lewis went on and startled me again with his revelations. john Bolanowski was touring the country as a renowned violinist. Adolph Gorzkowski and John Yamtoz had just returned from the planet Pluto and startled the world with the announcement that the Plutonians eat ham and eggs for breakfast. Edgar Knight had retired after being world tennis champion for five years and was now writing a book called Why a Tennis Racket Is Called a Tennis Racket, or Why Tennis Balls Are Hit, Another author was Philip Vescio, who had written the book on Whys, Whatfores, and Ways of Public Speaking. Lyndon Fuller, master mechanic, after years of extensive study had re- cently announced the law on whose principle a lion's jaw works, and why it works the way it does. Edward Stanulevich had succeeded in smashing the helium' atom and was now trying to find out why he did it. Paul Riegler was employed as chief veterinary in a New York Park which contained a few specimens of that now rare species called a horse. Gerard Simon was an unusual dentist in San Francisco-unusual because he demanded his pay in sweet pickles instead of money. Mike Dublin had just been presented with a medal of honor by Scotland because he had built a bridge across the English Channel. Ernest Pelton was trying to convince the air-firm of Singleton 8: Sestito that his new airship could do everything an airplane could. The company's insurance agent, Frank Luzynski, was against the purchase of the airship. Mario Peluso and Harry Scott had returned to America after spending years in the African wilds studying rubber trees. They were trying to sell their tonic, guaranteed to stretch short men into tall men, to the manufactur- ers, Scripture 8: Sega, but the latter were afraid the drug would bounce back on the market. Ernest Bailey was at the head of a cat and dog hospital in New York City and had written a book Why Cats and Dogs Fight. Edward Yako- biszyn was a subway guard in New York City. His football training enabled him to keep the crowds under good control. Frederick Williams owned the largest bee farm in the world. He said that this was the only kind of honey he wanted. Frank Duell had taken up scientific farming on a large scale. He had crossed apples with prunes and produced lemons. joseph Witka was a matinee idol and his profile was as famous as Barry- more's used to be back in the days of 1933. . ,', o' rlDC,'f0-fZLOai1 L-Sta Stanley Kozlowski, joseph Seccurra and Frank Ambrozewicz were leaders of the Back to the Wild and Wornlly West movement, and were supported by james Moore, Kenneth Volk and Herbert Clarke, great sheep kings from Australia, Fiore Fontana and Albert Ross were having their ups and downs in life as elevator boys in a new one hundred sixty story building designed by Roman Schantz and built by the contractors Marriott 8: Mansfield. Emanuel Occhio- nero was head of the Regents Board at Albany and had influenced the State Legislature to pass a law requiring teachers to try Regents every year in every subject they taught. A few members of the class had remained in Rome. Patsy DeCosty was one. He owned an antique shop. One of his prized possessions was the old Lizzie that Van Dewalker drove to school back in 33. Patsy claimed it would still run if you worked over it about four hours. Wayiie Sexton and Bob Slagel ran a renovating company. They collected old jokes, renovated them and sent them out as new. Sexton had actually changed a Scotch joke into an Irish one. Not everyone could do that. Bill Ross, Thomas Scully and Kenneth Morris were joke collectors. Williaiiu Hurlbut and Kenneth NX'ood were editor and associate editor respectively of a Rome newspaper. Anthony Valvo, Albert Tagliaferri, Frank Zigrino and Ralph Agone were reporters on the same newspaper. john Lopuzynski was in charge of the Rome Airport. joseph Lauri was Superin- tendent of Schools. He had football games on schooldays so the children could have more vacations. He claimed that too much studying ruined a child's health. Edward Pietras had invented a car that didn't fall apart no matter how old it was. Patsy Pace had realized his life's ambition and could see movies free as he was a projectionist in a theater. Peter Dutcher posed for collar and necktie advertisements. Robert Wolzmuth and Carleton Bates ran a funeral parlor. They specialized in making your funeral cheerful and speedy, Rosario Vella owned the most popular restaurant in Rome, while Van Hong had a laboratory on top of the XWoolworth building in Rome and was experi- menting in ethericity. Nick Collucio was a popular crooner at the Rome Radio- Television station. Lewis paused and asked if there was anything else that I would like to know, but I was so dazed that all I could do was to sit with a wondering look on my face and murmur half unconsciously, Imaginez-vous calm BERNICE REBISZ, '55 - rg, qv, CQ. .'.

If we don't print contributions, we don't ap- preciate true genius. And if we print them, the Annual is filled with junk. lf' we make a change in the other fellowls write-up, we are too critical. If we don't, we are asleep. Now, like as not, someone will say we swiped this from some other Annual. We pray, do you think it is joy to he an editor?

A Scotchman, an Irishman, a German and a .Iew were eating dinner together. When the meal was finished and the waiter came with the hill, the Scotchman promptly said he would take it.
