Today, our sails again unfurled, We start a voyage through the world, W hose end we do not know. But we have hope and courage, too; And, as we start our trip anew And cross the harbor bar, We know that in both calm and gale Whate’er the course we choose to sail We'll safely come to port. And sailing under sunny skies There may be tears to dim our eyes, Of memories fond and gay, Of friendly port whose happy shore We leave tonight for evermore, Beloved R. F, A. MARGARET BLACK 40 De-O-Wain-Sta 1935 Senior Class History Now that we are mighty Seniors ruling over all, espec ially the timid Sophomores, we sometimes seem to forget that we, afte: being Freshmen at the Rome Junior High School for one year, came to Rome Free Academy in 1933 and composed the Sopho more class of that year. Our Sophomore year went along uneventfully, except for decorating the halls at Christmas time; and then, quite unexpectedly, the school year ended, and we became Juniors practic ally overnight. Having more confidence and a little presige now that we were Juniors, we got together and made the Junior Prom of °34 a success both financially and socially [his event, I assure you, is the “sparkling star’ of our Junior year. Now that our Senior year is coming to a close, and commencement day exercises, which will mark the end of our high school careers, are drawing near, we, of °35, realize how beneficial to us these high school years have been; and we feel confident that memories of these fruitful years will always linger with us CLASS OFFICERS President ... ; , .George Lascelles Vice-President 5 Ms wea ...+Doris Saunders Secretary PS cm ee PAE . .Silveo Peluso Treasurer : ; ...Margaret Black Adviser ... . ithe Be Pon ba ae ..Miss Kingsley ROBERT AGONI The Davis Essay Prize The Davis Essay Prize, bequeathed by Lizzie M.

Our Sophomore year was uneventful with the exception of ow regular duties of dec orating the school at Christmas time and making the Sophomore party a success. After passing our regents in January and June, we became Juniors. In April, the class is planning its annual party and will close the Junior year with the rec eption for the Seniors.

New members, Juniors and Seniors, were admitted until the quota of the club was full. This year the question under discussion was: “‘Resolved, That the United States Government should equalize opportunities for education by means of state grants.” Our school team debated with Ilion at the State Teachers’ Convention. The Rome team won the section tournament held at Ilion. At Peekskill the debaters, Jack Cox, John Bauman, Emerson Smith and George Scoville, won the state tournament. As a result of this victory they represented New York State in the national tournament at Kent, Ohio. This year a chapter of the National Forensic League was established here.

Helen Milewska gave ‘“The Disinherited’’ by Jo Pagano, a story of a depression- hit man who was “‘on the bum.” “Elocution Day” was very humorously given by Elizabeth Surace, who imperson- ated various school pupils. Jeanne Quimby and M. Joyce Heilig both spoke on ‘“The Soul of the Violin” by Margaret Merrill. “Bobby Shaftoe,”” a story of a bad little boy, by Homer Greene, was exceedingly well given by Arvilla Humez. After a brief intermission, during which the band played the first movement of Fauchet’s Overture, the boys continued with the second half of the program. George Scoville gave ‘““The Light from Over the Range” in the form of a dia- logue. George Lascelles excellently interpreted Shakespeare in the “Selection from ‘Rich- ard III.’” Why civilization depends on labor was explained by Everett Arthur in William Sulcer’s ““Tribute to Labor.” 62 LL De-O-Wain-Sta Slingerland Contest —Continued Sam Lombardo told how the future of American government depends on the youth of the present day in “Creative Citizenship” by E.

Professor and Mrs. McIntyre see their children, George and Terry, tossed in the cataracts of ado- lescence, but can do nothing more than stand in the background and try to give advice, which, of course, is rejected by the egocentric youths. [hese two in company with all the neighborhood children experience many amusing adventures. One of the various amusing incidents occurs when a party given by George and Terry is rather abruptly ended by an officer who takes George to jail. But in spite of everything, the end is bright and promising. Much credit for the success of the play is due to the untiring efforts of Mrs. Bates. ARIEL TRACY. Commercial Contests The annual district contest of the New York State Business Education Contest Association was held at the Utica Free Academy, Saturday, May 4, 1935. Seventeen schools participated with a total of 283 entries. Team and individual contests were held in Shorthand I and II, Typewriting I and II, Bookkeeping I and II, and Commercial Arithmetic. A team consists of three indi- viduals entered as a team and their average is considered in computing the team’s rank. The two highest teams and the three highest individuals are considered the winners and are thereby entitled to enter the state contest which is held at Syracuse, May 18. At the state contest, the 22 districts of the state compete for honors in the various events. Rome teams won first place in Shorthand I and II and second place in Bookkeep- ing II]. The Shorthand I team was composed of Vincenza Agone, Lena Garofalo and Eleanor Jones; the Shorthand II team, of Yolanda Garofalo, Theresa Palladino and Hazel Slutzker; the Bookkeeping team, of Donald Bathrick, Donald Sexton and Hazel Slutzker. As individuals, Hazel Slutzker won second place and Yolanda Garofalo third place in Shorthand II. Donald Bathrick won second place in Bookkeeping II, and Lena Gar- ofalo won third place in Shorthand I. The school whose teams win first prize is awarded a cup. First, second and third prize winners as individuals receive a gold, silver or bronze pin. De-O0-Wain-Sta Commercial Week The second annual Commercial Week was observed at the Rome Free Academy during the week of March 18 to 22. The celebration of the week began with an assembly which featured a play “‘Hard- Boiled,”’ and a talk on ‘““The Value of Education’’ by Mr. C. Spencer Phillips, person- nel direc tor at the Revere C opper Brass, Incorporated. In observance of Commercial Week, the Senior commercial pupils edited and published the Commercial Review. The success of the magazine was due to the hard work of Miss Yolanda Garofalo, who was editor-in-chief. Inside each magazine was a small tag calling attention to the fact that it was Commercial Week. They were printed under the direction of Theodore Klara. Commercial students wore the tags for the week. Commercial students and their invited guests attended a dance in the gymnasium on Friday, March 22. The boys who played in the orchestra kindly donated their services. The commercial students who participated in the week's activities did not take any class periods for preparation, nor was there any expense involved. It is hoped that Com- mercial Week will be continued as an annual event. Literary Club The Literary Club of Rome Free Academy is dedicated to t he purpose of further- ing the interest, understanding, and appreciation of literature.

The program opened with marching tactics by both boys and girls. The boys then held the audience in an uproar with their games. [he girls displayed their skill by doing stunts such as the prone fall, bear and frog dance and headstands. Boys showed excep- tional talent by doing individual stunts on the bars and rings. The ox-dance gave the impression of real oxen. | he Swiss dance was beautifully portrayed in costume. The demonstration closed with tumbling and py ramids by both boys and girls. The gym was filled to capacity with parents and relatives of the students partici- pating in the exhibition. Appreciation should be extended to all who generously spent so much time in prep- aration for the exhibition. CARMELLA Dorsino, °35. Sea Scouts The Sea Scout ship ‘Jolly Rogers’ was organized at the Rome Free Academy in the fall of 1933. The ship has a membership of twenty boys in full uniform. In the summer the scouts have several sailboats which they learn to operate at Lake Delta. The scouts also have a thirty-foot launch used for cruising on Oneida Lake. During the winter months, the Sea Scouts hold their meetings in the High School gymnasium. Various tests are passed and Mr. Humphrey gives interesting talks on his past experiences at sea. The “ship” wishes to express its great indebtedness to the three officers who have been so essential in bringing about its success. Mr. J. F. Box, chief organizer, Mr. D. A. Humphrey, instructor in seamanship, and Mr. A. Moore, first mate and promoter for buying uniforms, have all given invaluable services. OFFICERS OF THE SEA SCOUTS Skipper Delos Humphrey (Retired U. S.

The season started off with a 31 to 0 win over our old city rival, St. Aloysius Academy. Mezza led the Rome Free Academy team with three touchdowns. The line opened up holes in the Saint Aloysius line through which our team was able to make very long gains. The following Saturday we entertained Vocational High School at Wright Field. Playing in a drizzling rain, Rome Free Academy held the strong Syracuse team to a 0 to 0 deadlock. The team played well, and Ritchie got off many fine kicks although the ball was very muddy. 70 De-O-Wain-Sta : 1935 FOOTBALL 1934—Continued Going down to defeat for the second time since 1931, the Rome Free Academy team bowed to Watertown, 6 to 0, in one of the hardest fought games of the season. Our line being constantly outplayed, the backs could not gain an inch. Ritchie again proved his punting ability when he kicked Rome out of danger several times. The next Saturday a strong Little Falls team invaded our city and brought defeat to our team for the second time since the season began. Although our team fought hard in the second half after Little Falls had scored on a fumble, they could not quite put the ball over. During the first quarter Rome threatened to score when Ritchie inter- cepted a pass. This carried to the 15-yard line where Little Falls held and Rome was forced to give it up on downs. Saturday, October 20th, again found our team playing at home against their old rival, Oneida High School. Scoring in every period except the first, our team showed just what it really could do by running up a 7 to 0 score. The line opened great holes in the Oneida line through which our backs ran for consistent gains. While every mem- ber of the team played a splendid game, the playing of Bovi, Nick Delvecchio and Captain John Bovi stood out. Showing a defense that was equally as good as their offense, our team journeyed to Fulton and beat them, 19 to 0. In the second period our team showed the strength of its defense when they held Fulton on the 3-yard line. Captain Bovi, playing in the center of the line, showed up brilliantly as he was in almost every play of the game. The Rome aerial attack accounted for two out of the three scores. On November 3rd, Rome played Oswego at Wright Field. Neither team could score in the first half; but Rome threatened twice, going deep into Oswego territory. In the third quarter, after Bob Stropp had caught a pass and brought the ball to the one- yard line, Terzini plunged over for a touchdown. Hayes placed a touchdown but failed to make the extra point. The whole Rome line played well as did the backfield. On November 10th, Rome played the last game of the season with the old rival, Utica Free Academy. Playing one of the best games of the season, the Rome team beat Utica, 7 to 6. Rome was called on to show its defense in the last quarter when Utica brought the ball down to the two-yard line. Two attempts were made to take the ball over, both of which were stopped by the Rome line. Before another play could get under way the game ended. The Spargo Banquet In recognition of their 7 to 6 victory over Utica Free Academy, members of the Rome Free Academy football team, coaches, managers and cheerleaders were the guests of James A. Spargo Jr. at a banquet on February 5, 1935. The tradition, which was established in 1916 by James A. Spargo Sr., has been kept up every time Rome Free Academy has beaten Utica Free Academy. James A. Spargo Jr. presided as toastmaster and called upon everyone present for a short talk. Coach Leo Meldrim presented the block R's and certificates to the lettermen. At a meeting of the lettermen John Primiano was elected captain of the 1935 team. The class of 1935 offers Captain Primiano and the team its best wishes for a suc- cessful season.

Junior Stropp, with splendid co-operation from his teammates, casily won his own game by a score of 5 to 3. May 10, Utica fresh from a victory over Canastota in a league game, was next for the Meldrim men. Remembering the two defeats at the hands of Utica in 1934 and play- ing without the services of Funzi DiCaprio, who was out with a sprained ankle, Rome with the speedball artist, Emerson Reser in the box, took the Uticans into camp. The final score was in Rome's favor, 3 to |. By their victories Rome virtually clinches the championship of Central New York for the second consecutive year. Manager Homan has charted games with the following high school teams: Can- astota (a league game), Syracuse Frosh, St. Aloysius (for the city championship), and Draper High of Schenectady. The class of °35 and the De-O-Wain-Sta staff wishes the team good luck in all its games. JouHN Ha tey, °35. It is interesting to note that baseball players of Rome Free Academy continue to excel at the sport long after they have left the walls of the Academy behind them. Some of Rome Free Academy's illustrious players have achieved success on the professional diamonds, others have made their marks in intercollegiate com- petition, while scores of others perform ably with semi-pro and amateur teams of ths section. For example, last year's City Twilight League roster contained the names of 31 Rome Free Academy undergraduates and alumni, while nine Rome Free Acad- emy varsity players, including three members of th's year's team, were members of the city championship New York Central nine. Also, three former Academy diamond stars, Francis Joynt, George Meiss and Ralph Terzini, gained berths on the league’s all-star team, whi'e seven other erstwhile orange and black performers were awarded second team designations. This is a record that speaks well not only for the players, but also for Mr. Keating and Mr. Meldrim, who have ably ccached them. 76 Photo by Ubell Tennis Tennis Coach, Mr. Atkinson, left with two letterman of 1934, Carl Sturtevant and Harold Midlam, faces the task of filling in the vacated positions with new up-and- coming underc lassmen.
