L 9 1936 De-0-Wdin-Sta -A A- A Tribute to Miss Bibbins t Always glad to have Miss Bibbins come, was the teachers' feeling when she supervised Art work in the grades. Always glad to go to Miss Bibbins's class, was and is the equally universal feeling of high-school students. In all the twenty-odd years she has been in Rome there is one thing she has never learned, at least from personal experience. That is the meaning of the word discouriesy. She seems to have been born with the faculty of getting the best from people, young and old, and getting it as a natural response to her own fine char- acter, manners and taste. The high standards of excellence maintained in her classes have helped to make R. F. A. a better school. Her friendly human understanding has helped to make it a happier school. May all the rewards of a well-spent professional life be hers. Among these rewards, the gratitude and affection of all her former pupils and teaching asso ciates are already assured. GEORGE R.

At that time in our high school life, we were considered insignificant and useless to the school. It was not until we decorated the school at Christmas time that we gained any prestige. ln cur Junior year many of us became interested in sports and other activities. We also were proud of the fact that we were no longer the babies of the school and that we, as well as the Seniors, could ask favors of the new underclassmen. At the close of our Junior year, we feted the graduating Seniors with the junior Prom, which turned out to be quite a success. As Seniors, we may now dictate to all the underclassmen. However, soon we shall leave our dear Alma Mater, and we shall again be only beginners. CLASS OFFICERS President ...... .. . BERNARD EADES Vice-President . . . . . .

Meet- ings are held twice a month, at which time debates take place among club members. The Roman Forum maintains a chapter of the National Forensic League and debates on the topic chosen by this national organization. The proposition this year is: Resolved: That the several states should enact leg- islation providing for a system of complete medical service available to all citizens at public expense. This year the debaters of Rome Free Academy repeated their victory of last year and won the New York State Debate Championship at the state speech tournament held in Poughkeepsie, winning over the strongest teams in New York State, including Albany, Sche- nectady, l-lornell, Poughkeepsie, llion and Syracuse. Rome achieved the unprecedented rec- ord ol winning six out of seven debates at the tournament. An outstanding member of the Roman Forum, jack Cox, also won the championship in Oratorical Declamation or Oratory, and along with the rest of the debaters was entitled to represent New York State at the national speech meet in May in Oklahoma City, just as was clone last year at Kent, Ohio. The Chamber of Commerce sponsored a drive to raise funds to send the team to Oklahoma City. The team was not eliminated until the fourth round. Miss Woodcock and jack Cox reached the finals in their respective contests. Emerson Smith was chosen one of the judges of the coaches' debate and Rocco Fiaschetti was requested to give after dinner speeches. In thirty-four decision debates engaged in by Rome debaters this year, twenty-nine ol them were won by Rome, certainly a notable achievement. -F 75 1936 De-O-Wain-Sta The members of the varsity debate team are: Affirmative: Jack Cox and George Scoville. Negative: Emerson Smith, Roco Fiaschetti and John Baumann. The debaters would like to thank lVlr. Newton, Mr. Staley, the Board of Education, and all others who aided them in obtaining transportation and funds to carry on their extensive debate schedule. The phenomenal success of the Roman Forum and the debate team has been due mostly to Miss Vlfoodcock, faculty adviser and coach, and her unselfish giving of her time and effort toward this end, and we would like to express our sincere gratitude to her at this time. .

A A -A 77 1936 De-O-Wain-Sta Then there are the two pretty young daughters who chose to marry before they finished their education and want to come home to Mother at the first sign of trouble. Mother Hardy is so upset at the modern tendencies of her .daughters that she goes on strike in order to straighten out her family. Young Andy Hardy keeps the audience amused with his humorous observancesg Grandpa Hardy touches the heart with his absentmindedness and his reminiscences about Grandma. The white satin slippers he makes for Marion to be married in have a great deal to do with straightening out her love affair. Humor, blinded with pathos and philosophy, makes Skidding more significant than the average comedy. Much of the success of the play was due to the excellent coaching of Mrs. Bates. jean Smith, '36. Commercial Contests The annual district contest of the New York State Business Education Contest Association was held at the Rome Free Academy Saturday, April 25, l936. Fifteen schools participated with a total of 259 entries. Harold A. Moe was the contest manager.

The first speaker in the girls' division was Doris Myers, who gave The Absent- Mindedness of Priscilla. Priscilla succeeded in frequently embarrassing both herself and her friends. Jeanne Quimby in her selection, Aunt Sophronia labor at the Opera, portrayed the horrors experienced by a country aunt during her lirst view of an opera. Agnus Boardman gave Our Guide in Genoa and Rome, which showed the reac tions ol the native Italian to the seemingly indifferent American tourists. In her selection At the County Fair, Helen Goldberg interpreted the various types of persons likely to be encountered at a fair. hlizabeth Surace in Yellow Butterflies explained how one mother and son con sidered these butterflies the sign of immortality. The boys' contest followed a trumpet duet by Burrell Hatch and William Chi- caferro. George Scoville gave The lVladman's Story in which he characterized a mad- man who had caused the death of his wife. The Forgotten Man to His President, Michael Sokoloffs declaration, showed what the common man expects from his President. --, awe, ....eW..- - 79 1936 De-O-Wain-Sta A- K I John Baumann in his selection, The Law and the Criminal, stated that simply putting a person in prison does not reform him. ln The Tell-Tale Heart Rocco Fiaschetti told how a man was defeated by the beating of his own heart.

Rome Free Academy Syracuse Vocational H S Rome Free Academy Watertown High School Rome Free Academy Geneva High School Rome Free Academy Oneida High School Rome Free Academy Fulton High School Rome Free Academy Owego High School Rome Free Academy Utica Free Academy I Rome Free Academy completed the I935 football season .with an impressive rec ord of five victories, two defeats and one tie. Our old city rival, St. Aloysius, was first to feel the sting of defeat with a score of I8 to 0 chalked against them. 'Although Rome Free Academy's performance was not very polished, the superiority of our team was easily discernible. -- 83 1956 De-O-Wain-Sta The following Saturday we were host to the powerful Vocational High eleven at Wright Field. They had previously beaten Syracuse Central, Syracuse's formei champs. We entered the game as underdogs, perhaps because of our previous showing. But the game proved a repetition of the previous game with Vocational. We played a 0 to 0 deadlock 'neath a sky that threatened to wash us off the field. The game was so evenly matched that neither team could muster up sufficient power to register a touchdown. It was also cvident that the Rome team emerged morally victorious inasmuch as we were not conceded a chance to win. The next Saturday, Rome dropped its first game to Watertown, a league encounter, by 7 to 6. Watertown drew first blood on a prettily executed pass in the last quarter. Aroused, Rome came back to register its only touchdown. The try for point went wide, no discredit to Sparky Bovi, ace tackle. The field was hardly suitable for point kicking, anyway. Rome's superior power was easily noticed throughout the game, registering II first downs to Water- town's two. But it seemed that we just couldn't win. Rome was so aroused the next week that the flashy Geneva eleven was buried in its wrath. The score was 20 to 0. Praise should be accorded the forward wall that smeared practically every play. Although Geneva has a tricky pass attack, they failed to threaten the Rome eleven. Bolstered by the return of john Bovi, all-scholastic center, Rome crushed Oneida under an avalanche of 33 points Q33-07, the second highest score a Rome team ever chalked against Oneida. Rome showed its real offensive power, when the line ripped wide holes through which the backs tore for consistent gains. Demonstrating its all-round defensive and offensive power against the strong Fulton team that had deadlocked our only league victor, Watertown, Rome fought to a 34 to 6 vic- tory at Wright Field. john Bovi again stood out as the shining star on defense. The next week Rome journeyed to Oswego in its last league game and beat them by the score of 25 to 0. The game was featured by strong defensive work on the part of the Rome forward wall, with the backfield foiling all attempts at passes. Teamwork especially stood out in this game. On November 9th, Rome suffered its second defeat of the season against its old rival, Utica. The undefeated Utica Free Academy eleven beat us by a 7 to 0 score, fighting before one of the largest crowds to'witness a Rome-Utica game. Utica scored its 7 points in the first quarter and desperately held on to its lead. Rome tried valiantly to knot the score in the third -chukker, but the strong enemy repelled our attack. However, in the last half, Utica could not make any headway against the roused Rome team. Every player on the Rome eleven would have given his right hand that day to beat Utica, but it seemed that it was not to happen: and the players went off the field with lead in their hearts and vowed that next year Rome would get revenge. l am sure we can unanimously choose john Bovi as the outstanding player on the Rome squad. His superb defensive play repeatedly brought Rome out of danger, and his pres- ence in the line bolstered the entire team. We can also say with pride that we have one of thc best represented teams in Central New York. Every member of the Academy first team clinched a berth on the first three teams of the All-Scholastic Squad. Four players of the first team gained first team berths on the All-Scholastic, among whom are Bob Stropp, stellar wing- mang Mayfred Tyksinski, fleet-footed guard: John Bovi, ace snapper-back: and La Terzini, smart field general. Others who clinched second string berths are Parc Del Vecchio, Sparky Bovi, Junie Stropp, Capt. Johnny Primiano and Frank Glasso. The class of l936 extends its best wishes to Leo Meldrim and the team for a successful football season next year. A. Sega. 84 --.

F. A. court history. The current aggregation won I9 out of Z3 games, defeated every public high school team on its schedule, captured the 4A League championship for the second straight year. defended the city title against S. A. A. and topped its success by administering two defeats to the Utica F ree Academy quintet. Rome started its campaign by trouncing St. Francis de Sales of Utica 44-22 but suffered its first defeat from Syracuse Frosh 24-46. On Friday, December I3, R. F. A. defeated Canastota 4I-2I, and followed up the victory by trouncing Oneida 54-I4 on December 20. Next in line was the alumni's down- fall, 65-32. Bob Stropp went wild and scored 22 points for the highest single game score. After the holidays, R. F. A. continued its string of victories by beating Canastota, 40-235 St. lVlicl1ael's College Frosh from Toronto, Canada, 38-14, Carthage, last year's Class B champions, 40-22, and S. A. A., 49-24, for the first leg of the city tille. On January I7 Oneida gave us quite a scare when they lost by only three points, 30-27. On january I8, Rome suffered its second loss by dropping a close game to the State Parochial School champions, C. B. A. of Syracuse, 37-33, but came back in the win column by defeating Watertown, 26-I9, in the third league tilt. On the last day of January, the Rome quintet more than avenged the football loss suffered last fall to Utica by showering Utica under an avalanche of field goals so that when the game was over Rome had more than doubled the score on the Pent-Ups, 42-I9. The game was marked by the stellar performance of both teams. Captain Dom Rossi, johnny Primiano, and the Stropp brothers were outstanding for Rome, while Meeker and Tritten shone for the Utes. On Saturday, February I, R. F. A. journeyed to Utica and defeated St. Francis de Sales in a return game, 33-I9. Next in line was Watertown, bowing to Rome, 4-IS. On Tuesday, February II, R. F. A. copped the city title for the second year by trouncing the diminutive S. A. A. five, 50-I8. Rome suffered its third defeat on February 7 at the hands of the Colgate Frosh five, 41-30, but atoned the loss by taking the Cortland Normal Frosh into camp, 3I-26. On Friday, February 28, Rome won its fourth straight league victory by defeating Oswego, 34-28. The Cortland Normal Frosh bowed again on February 29 to the tune of 30-27. To further prove their court superiority over Utica, Rome chalkecl up another vic tory in one of the most exciting games in Rome-Utica basketball history, 30-I4. On March 20, the R. F. A. quintet completed one of its most successful seasons by a close game, that required an overtime period, with the strong Central City Business Insti- tute of Syracuse by a score of 38-36. Throughout the season the stellar work of Schoolboy Roser, Captain Dom Rossi. l-aa Terzini, Johnny Primiano, and the Stropp brothers helped to make the current basketball season a record to shout at, and it will be quite a while before such a combination will be seen again. . . Credit should be given to the strong reserve squad that won Il games, lost 3, and tied I. The Class of I936 extends to 'next year's captain and Leo Meldrim its best wishes roi a season as successful as the one of I935-I936.

Clcott Coach-Leo Meldrim BASEBALL SEASON This year Mr. Meldrim was quite fortunate in having several men of last year's squad back, around which to form the nucleus of this year's team. However, while many of the important positions were vacant, much new and valuable material was discovered in our under- classmen. Our first game, after two postporxements, was played in Utica and there, after a gallant struggle to overpower Em Roser's speed ball, Utica finally came out on the long end of a 5 to 4 score. Next in line came Camden on the 6th day of May, and we easily subdued them by means of the one-hit pitching of Nick Consilio, who alone carried a great responsibility and did come through for his school. The third game of the season was also played in Rome and this time we also con- quered Canastota, a team just as easily defeated, by the score of IO to 0. This time, how- ever, Junior Stropp shared the pitching honors and he, too, allowed only one hit to be chalked up against him. So far this season these are the only opponents whom we have met.

In this dual meet, Rome won five events and tied one. L. Humez won the IOO-yard dashg Volpe, the 2205 E.. Tyksinski, the 4405 Ackerman tiecl for first place in the high jumpg Sandborn won the mile, and our half-mile relay team also captured first place. The relay team consists of Parmalee, A.

Ar present writing, Manager Claude Outwater has arranged for the team to par- ticipate in the Utica Invitation Meet, the Triangle Meet, in which Rome, Sherrill and Can- astota will participate, and the Hamilton College Sectional Meet. As Coach Leo Meldrim has been busily engaged in turning out a fine baseball nine. the coaching efforts have been turned over to Mayfred Tyksinski, who has certainly merited Mr. lVleldrim's confidence in his coaching ability. From a competitive contest of this year's recruits, these members have been chosen to represent Rome Free Academy's track team. SQUAD L. l-lumez M. Tyksinski Ackerman A.

Workmen were ma.king repairs on the wires in a schoolhouse one Saturday morning, when a small boy wandered in. What you doin ? he asked. Installing an electric switch, one of the workmen said. I don't care,' volunteered the boy. We've moved away, and I don't go to this school any more. On the last day of school, prizes were distributed. When Harry returned home, his mother was entertaining visitors. Well, inquired one of the visitors, did you get a prize? No, but l got horrible mention. A teacher was out of her room for a short time one day. When she returned, she found that the children had taken advantage of her absence and were having a hilarious time. I'd like to know why it is, she re- monstrated. that you are never working when I come back into the room. It's because you wear rubber heels, ventured Johnny. And then there was the poor old man who worried so much about his bills that the hair began to fall out of his wig. 96 An Indian student writing a letter to the superintendent of a mission, desired to end with the words: May Heaven preserve you.

If a fellow tries to kiss a woman and gets away with it, he's a man: if he tries and doesn't get away with it, he's a brute: if he doesn't try but would get away with it if he tried, he's a coward: but if he doesn't try and wouldn't have gotten away with it if he tried, he's wise. t... He: I can't figure out why you always yell 'Stop' when I try to kiss you. She: And I can't figure out why you always stop! 5 She: If you kiss me, I'll scream! He: Not with all these people around. She: Well, let's find a quieter spot. Neighbor: Where is your brother, Freddie? Freddie: He's in the house play- ing a duet. I finished first.

Father: H-i-g-h. Why do you want to know? Johnny: 'Cause I'm writing a com- position on the high ena. Wife: Here's an advertisement of a new kind of shirt that hasn't any buttons. Hubby: Huh! I've been wearing that kind for years. The judge was trying to secure a jury for the trial of a criminal. A man was being questioned as to his fitness for jury service Do you believe in capital punish- ment? asked the judge. Yes, replied the man, if it isn't too severe. ' Teacher! Emerson, what's raised in countries that have wet climates? E. Smith: Umbrellas As the celebrated soprano began to sing, little Johnnie became greatly excited at the gesticulations of the orchestra con- ductor. Whats that man shaking his stick at her for? he demanded indignantly. Sh! He's not shaking his stick at her. Then what in thunder is she holler- ing for? asked Johnnie. HIRED How are you feeling? Fine. Swell! Ha-ha-ha! In good humor, eh? Never better! Ho-ho-ho! Well, I'.m glad to hear that. Things clicking well? Sure, life's the swellest thing! lt's marvelous! Ha-ha-ha !
