De-O-Wain-Sta means Oneida Carrying Place. As it happens, the former post office stands on the spot of this historic trail. Therefore, it is with a twofold purpose that we have chosen this as our theme. We hope to honor a once useful public servant, the old post office: and also the spot on which it stands, famous in the history of our state as being frequented by the Indians in crossing from Wood Creek to the Mohawk River.

We can never forget the assembly when Student Association President Charles Mathis had all of us lowly sopho- mores parade through the aisles to the boos of the seniors. But we rose somewhat in the estimation of these same seniors when we performed one of the annual duties of the sophomore class, that of trimming the school at Christmas time, and when we put on the Soph Hop, which turned out to be a highly successful experiment, both socially and financially. The following year we returned to assume our duties as juniors. Then we were no longer looked down upon as insignificant sophomores, but could join with the seniors in asking favors of the new under-classmen. It was then that we began to take an interest in clubs and activities, in which many of our mem- bers distinguished themselves. Finally, at the close of our junior year after exam- ination week. we entertained the graduating class at the Junior Prom. Now at last we are seniors and have had the best year of all. With this distinction came the opportunity of presenting the senior play and publishing the De-O-Wain-Sta. Now that Commencement is approaching, we look back over the good times we had in the past and regret that we have to leave and step out into a new world where we must begin all over again.

Our sophomore year was uneventful with the exception of our regular duties of decorating the school at Christmas time. In our junior year. we endeavored to follow the good example of our predecessors. We are now looking forward to a successful Junior Prom, for which plans are being made. We heartily congratulate the seniors and sincerely wish them all the luck in the world.

The three acts reveal them just before and after' dinner on the evening of their arrival and the following morning. Their brief association becomes an unbroken series of hilarious trage- dies. It is Du1cy's final blunder which unexpectedly crowns all her mistaken efforts with success. Meanwhile she has all but ruined her husband's plans to put through an important business merger.

Everything goes Wrong, but the most exquisite torture she inflicts upon her hapless guests occurs when she invites the scenario writer to recite one of his hectic plots to interpretative music played at the piano by the lunatic. It is at this point that the play reaches its highest level.

This atmosphere of pessimistic gossip actually had logic, for Coach Leo Meldrim was confronted with one of the toughest football schedules in the history of the school, and not one player with the exception of Funzi DiCaprio and Frank Glasso had seen action regularly the season before. But as ever, our coach with his characteristic fidelity went ahead pounding into shape what was supposed to carry on the unblemished record of the past seasons. As a nucleus for his gridiron machine our red-headed mentor selected Funzi DiCaprio, a hard charging lineman of the year before. Funzi could run, kick, pass, block and tackle. This hundred-and-seventy-pound pigskin warrior bucked the line all season long, ripping wide many times the enemy's defense. l79l - ' ,gil DE-O'WAlN-STA -gg, - FOOTBALL-Continued The Academy was scheduled to play Geneva September 19th, but the game was postponed. This proved to be a lucky break for R. F. A., thus giving Coa:h Meldrim an extra week to find his best combination. The following Saturday, a light orange-and-black-jerseyed team trotted out on the gridiron-ruling a slight favorite over Saint Aloysius for the city title. The Men of Meldrim proved superior to the fighting Irish but succeeded in putting over only two touchdowns. Eddie Tyksinski played a spectacular game, and put the Turin Streeters in position for their initial touchdown late in the first period with a pair of pretty runs. The final score was R. F. A. 13 and S. A. A. 0. On October 3rd, R. F. A. met Morrisville Agriculture at Wright Field. The Rome boys were hardly conceded a chance to win against the more expe- rienced and heavier Aggies. One newspaper said the Academy would present a young, inexperienced outfit that may cause the Aggies some trouble but hardly enough to indicate a Rome victory. Despite such prediction, the Men of Mel- drim, with a thrilling last-minute drive, defeated their opponents by a score of 6-0. The spoils of victory in this game were shared by Tony Ritchie and Funzi DiCaprio. The next week, October l0th, the Watertown gridders invaded Rome for the first league game. Under raining skies football fans undoubtedly watched the most peculiar game ever played here. R. F. A. had possession of the ball all afternoon, but with the exception of one deep drive into Watertown territory, was unable to go to town. One electrifying play, the only running attempt made by the Watertown Cyclones in the Hrst half, gave them a 6-0 victory. There was an unusual occurrence the next Saturday. The game with Oneida High School was postponed until a Monday night, October 19th, be- cause of the heavy torrents of rain that flooded the gridiron. However, the game was played in Oneida on fairly hard turf. A scoreless first half marked for Rome Free Academy a combination of bad breaks and a stout Oneida defense. Frankie Glasso and Funzi DiCaprio came back in the second half and scored two touch- downs. This sudden burst of offensive strength on the part of the Romans again became dormant, and herculean efforts were necessary to stop a tricky Oneida passing attack. On October 24-th, Syracuse Vocational visited Rome, and a 27-0 score marked for the Orange and Black the most convincing defeat sustained since 1920. Captain Nick Vaccaro and his mates simply were outclassed by a far better football team. Vocational was practically the same veteran team-improved by the addition of new players. Despite the stinging defeat, Joe Kozick and Frank Glasso showed their football worth in a splendid display of defensive power. Contrary to the performance of the week before, the Turin Streeters on October 3lst defeated Fulton with the most impressive victory in the sixteen- year series. By a brilliant display of both offensive and defensive strength i801 - ' if DE-O'WAlN'STA 'gb 4l'i,. FOOTBALL-Continued Rome routed their opponents, 47-0. With monotonous regularity the Orange and Black marched up and down the gridiron at Recreation Park in Fulton. The opposing backlield found it impossible to penetrate the forward wall supported by burly Joe Adolfi and Angelo Salce. Next, November 7. R. F. A. ran roughshod over the outclassed forces of Oswego High School with an I8-0 score. From the beginning of the contest to the end R. F. A. had the upper hand. After scoring all points in the first half. they strategically played a safe game in the remaining periods. Willie Schiller turned in a good game, while Ted Buczek, after having made his debut on the starting lineup, gave promising evidence of a future star. The Academy's per- formance assured fans of their money's worth for the forty-sixth annual clash with Utica Free Academy. As five thousand people jammed Wright Field on Saturday, November 14, eleven Orange and Black gridders were keyed to fighting pitch, following a week of hectic ballyhoo and celebration over the big game of the year. The spirited Rome team, hopeful of upsetting the advanced dope which made the Uticans a slight favorite, took the field with the cheers of local supporters in their ears. Aroused to the zenith of their strength, the Romans fought the Uticans off their feet in the first quarter. But Utica's veteran footballers drove with devas- tating power, and Rome succumbed to their powerful running and passing attack. Only through unceasing effort was the score kept to 19-0. Thus the 1937 football season came to a close-five victories and three defeats. It was not an impressive record, but, nevertheless, it substantiated the fact that Rome Free Academy never failed to produce a team that wasn't worth reckoning with. - i-Riff? CHEERLEADERS The outstanding activity of the cheerleaders is to lead and inspire the student body to cheer their teams during the various interscholastic competition. The cheerleaders are most active during the football and basketball seasons, especially at football games. On the eve of the biggest football game of the season with Utica, our greatest rival, Cheerleaders Jessie Van Vleet, Frances Steve, Marie Crandall. John Mirarchi, Billy Williams, and Ralph Sanborn prepared a gala event. A large student body gathered at the school to participate in the annual pep meet- ing, the oldest of the traditions, and later the students joined in a parade led by the Rome Free Academy cheerleaders and accompanied by the music from the high-school band. Last season we were very fortunate in being allotted time at the Capitol Theater to make the evening a bigger celebration. Songs, cheers and more cheers resounded in the theater. Every one, both young and old, cheered. The event concluded, everyone joined in singing the Rome Free Academy Alma Mater. l8ll -'i' 42-,gifs i - Q A Basketball -Photo lv Is ll Coach-Leo Meldrim Manager-Gerald Pryor William Schiller Edward Schiller Angelo Salce Alphonse DiCaprio Joseph Adolfi Joseph Ceravoli Peter Pace Robert Billings LETTERMEN Bill I-losley SQUAD Edward Civiok Anthony Ritchie Glyn Lewis Nick Vaccaro Angelo Sportelli Ted Sasenbery Prank Seccurra John Gleasman John Giaquinto Rome Free Academy starting with an inexperienced team captured the city championship. consolation prize at the Watertown Invitation Tournament and tied for second in the Class A Tournament. l32l 5359-,fl if DE'0'WAIN'STA 'gb g BASKETBALL A Continued The season started on December 18 with its first setback to Nottingham, 35-27.

The sharp cries of little children playing in the street below drifted gently up to me, sitting before the trunk and intensely interested in a well-worn De-O-Wain-Sta. My thoughts at that moment were concentrated on the destinies of a few of my classmates. So Bob Mueller is the editor and Bud Birnie his assistant on that famous newspaper, the Nocturnal Bungie. I also hear that the staff is so big that Danny Williams has been raised to the position of Chief Office Boy. His assistant is Amerigo Darkangelo. Amerigo has recently written a book on his plan of Social Security in 1960. Jerry Flanagan is their star reporter, and his specialty is writing up football games. The other day I met Eleanor Schneible on the street-yes, the same one who is the buyer for the big Paris department store-and she said that Jane Dick had been the architect for planning Kay Scott's new house, and Doris Boyson had done the interior decorating. Mary Nelson was the lawyer who defended Donald Sinclair on the charge of shouting and disturbing the peace on Dominick Street. The Judge was George Miner, and the jury consisted of Ruth Oram, Betty Morat, Agnes Boardman, Frank Grasso, George Pritchard, Edna and Antonetta Pinti, Edward Hinton, and Vittorio Peluso. , Frances Larkin is one of the new English teachers in Rome Free Academy, and Sonia Lemish has been giving the pupils plenty of homework in chemistry. On the morning radio program, Barbara Huguenin gives a talk on how to drive a Chevie while the Jones sisters, Charlotte and Betty, go to town on the St. Louis Blues. I hear that in a new restaurant in New York, Paul Cable and his Swing Loons are starred. Some of his Loons are Carl DeSantis, Clayton Fike, Robert Glover, Sloly Hanchar, and Seymour Kaplan. Dorothy Parry is the torch singer. Albert Hooke has answered the call of the drum and is now stationed in the Hawaiian Islands. Chester Tyczynski, Nick Vaccaro, Alphonse DiCaprio, Nick Gratch, An- gelo Salce, Frank Seccurra fa physics wowj, and a few outsiders have formed a dandy professional football team. They have come through as champions over all others. Ii9ll - ' ttf or-0-wAlN-rm 'qi '- CLASS PROPHECY-Continued Jessie Van Vleet and Norma Williams are now selling Better Pink Pills for Pallid People. They called on me the other day and seemed to think I already had one foot in the grave. Lucille Juergens has taken a course in Social Service and is now working for the Salvation Army. Joseph Shatter. Victor Spraggins, and Searle Rudd have written a book. The Truth About Technology. Paul Oliver. head of the Oliver Publishing Company, published this literary masterpiece, and Jean Bates did the proof- reading. It's rumored that Bertha Curtis has become an air hostess on a well-known air line, The New Tran-zip, owned by Ernest Brooks. Elsie and Maria Tripp are archaeologists. They are now in search of Mt. Olympus which they believe is located near Greece. Marie Crandall is a whiz at tiddledy-winks. She and Beverly Davies have formed a club by that name. Gertrude Dunning, Alice Lee, Rose Terzini, and Helen Sezna know all there is to know about jacks, so I heard from Jane Hinton, an up-and-coming gym teacher. Jack Ervay has become a big steel magnate, and Donald Jackson and Gerald Marcy feed the furnaces in his shops. Gertrude French is a librarian at R. F. A. and Carol Dye, I hear, beat Helen Wills at Forest Hills last summer. Dusky twilight steals over the darkening eaves, and I pensively lay my book away until another dim tomorrow may lead me to open its cover and wonder what has been the fate of those schoolmates pictured on its slowly fading pages.

And as she metes out punishment, We wish we were not there. One day when very late to school, I brought the dear some flowers: But she just sat there in her chair And said to me, Two hours! If you decide to play a joke And skip a class or two, You're just as likely to find out It's Miss Owens' joke on you. She does not run a beauty shop To fix a young girl's head, But indeed she needs no beauty rouge To make my face turn red. But I suppose it's just her job That makes her act this way: No doubt she's just as glad as I That school's not every day. BILL SEARLE, '38 R. F. A. BONERS The posterity of a country depends upon its people. Posterity stands out in Lincoln's life. Lincoln's ignoration and assination are described in the book. The small boy taunted her with the dog's rope. CDoggerel.J I could have jumped on all fours I was so happy. The wheels snuffed the child's life out as you take snuff from a snuffbox. The Southern people were angry and they formed a constitution of their own-the sea session. Lincoln never felt suspicious of himself when he wore deerskin trousers which had shrunk up. The style of this furniture was made to suit the people of that time. They were luxurious, graceful and elaborately decorated with curved lines. When you are hungry. you feel an empty, gnaw- ing sensation in the region of your abandon. Books, periodicals. magazines and sentinels help one to prepare for the future. Abe Lincoln was a man of infinitive patience. We find delight in Clym's mother and her quiet. clam dignity. The young members of the family find the full refrigerator a goodsend during the promiscuous hours of the morning. People, like birds, have an agrarian instinct to flock together. I endure good health. N. Williams: Was he on his knees when he proposed to you? J. Van Vleet: UNO, I was on them. Art Rosenburgh: Do you believe in love at first sight? Carol Dye fwho has just met himjz Certainly not. Art Rosenburgh: Don't get discouraged. I'll be around to see you again. I94l H. McGuire: Doc, I've just been bit by a dog. Doctor: Well, welll Was it a rabid dog? H. McGuire: No, Doc. He was just a plain hound dog. Miss Eysaman: Who was the King of France during the Revolution? Anna Nold Crather confusedl : Louis the Thir- teenth-no, the Fifteenth, no, the Fourteenth-no, well, anyhow, he was in his teens. Miss Dempsey: Name some production in which the supply exceeds the demand. Pearl White: Trouble Prof. Cole: What do we mean when he say the whole is greater than any of its parts? Bill Bright: A restaurant doughnut. Miss Mittenmaier: There is direct and indirect taxation. Give me an example of indirect taxation. Jane Hinton: The dog tax. Miss Mittenmaier: How is that? Jane Hinton: The dog does not have to pay it. Pearl Richardson: Darling, what did you find hardest in learning to drive? Glen VanDeWalker: A brick wall. Jack: You still take a morning bath, I suppose? Bill: Never miss it. Sometimes I take it hot. sometimes cold. and when I'm in a hurry, I take it for granted. So you lost your job in the city because the weather didn't agree with you. What did the climate have to do with it? I was the weather forecaster. Miss Dempsey: Mary, what's the difference be- tween a democracy and an autocracy? Mary Beechwood: An autocracy is governed by one person whose word is law, while a democracy is governed by a number of persons whose laws are some times just words. Beggar fstanding near the doorway of Candy- landl : Have you got enough money for a cup of coffee? Bud Birnie fenteringlz Oh, I'll manage some- how, thank you. Searle Rudd: I'm worried. My girl is running around with that new doctor in town. Bill Searle: Feed her an apple a day. Mr. Smith: What is an island, Betty? Betty Morat: A place where the bottom of the sea sticks up through the water. Albert Hooke: I do hope you will pardon my dancing on your feet-I'm a little out of practice. Jane Dick: I don't mind your dancing on them. It's the continual jumping on and off that aggra- vates me. - ' if-3: DE-0'WAlN-STA 'zggg HUMOR-Continued Irish Traffic Officer Qto speederj: Have you a permit for driving an auto? Ed. Hinton: Sure. I've got it here in my pocket- book. Officer: That's all right. If ye've got it, I don't need to look at it. If ye didn't have one, I'd have to see it. Louis Selden: How did your father know we went out in the car yesterday? Helen Sezna: Quite simple! Remember that gentleman we ran into? That was father. I heard the absent-minded Professor Jones driv- ing his car into the garage at daybreak this morning. Where do you suppose he had been all night? Well, Mrs. Jones told my wife that he saw a red lantern beside an excavation down the street and had sat there waiting for it to change to green. George Pritchard: Are you to be my caddie? Caddie: Yes, sir. G. Pritchard: And how are you at finding lost balls? Caddie: Very good, sir. G. Pritchard: Well, look around and find one so we can start the game. Jane Leckie: What did you say when Mer threat- ened to kiss you? Doris Boyson: I told him I'd just like to see him. Jane Leckie: And then? Doris Boyson: Well, Mer always tries to do what I like. Mrs. Nelson: Did I forget to tell you to watch when the rice boiled over? Little Mary Nelson: No, mother. I did watch. It was just half past eleven. Maria Tripp: Why Emlyn, are you worried about Latin finals? Emlyn Griffith: Am I! Why I have so many wrinkles on my forehead that I can't pull my hat on tightly without screwing it around first. Guest at a restaurant: Please bring me a cup of coffee without cream. Waiter: Sorry, sir? We have no cream. You will have to take it without milk. Sophomore: I went to a mind reader this after- noon and he read my mind. Teacher: How did he enjoy his vacation? Two goats were visiting the auto show when one complained of a stomach ache. The other revealed that he had the same ailment. The first one re- sponded: It must have been the Ford V-8. She: I've had something in my mind to tell you for five years. He: It ought to be good. It's been aged in wood. l95l A man seeing a young woman alight from a train said. Pardon me, but you look like Helen Black. She replied, Yeah, I look worse in white. Esther Bilek: Why should a big. strong, hand- some man like you learn the art of self-defense? Think you'll need it on the way home? Emlyn Griiiiths: No, after I get home. He: I'm thinking what it must be like in the Arctic where the nights are six months long. She: So am I. That's what an evening with you seems like. Smoothy Casilo: I ought to be a great fighter now that I've broken my nose. Leo: Why? Smoothy Casilo: Cuz now I can stop Schmel- ing. Bang-Bang : How do you like my new pants? Mr. Atkinson: The pants are so short the cuffs are talking to the shces. Bang-Bang : What are they saying? Mr. Atkinson: Come up and see me some time. B. Wetmore: Oh, it's beginning to rain. Fascinate Flanigan: It is not. Babs: Oh . . . then isn't there a little dew on your suit? Fascinate : Yeah, about twenty dollars. George Miner: How long have you been shav- ing? Jack Ervay: Four years now. George: G'wan. Jack: Yep, I cut myself both times. She: Say something soft and sweet to me, Honey-dear. He: Custard pie. Touts, haven't you a kiss for a busy reporter? Sure, when are you going to press? Carl Bates: Don't you think that there is some- thing cheap about necking? E. Schneible: Oh, yes, it very often cheapens the electric light bill. Mother: Don't use such bad words. Sonny: But Shakespeare used them. Mother: Well, don't play with him then. For seven days I've been a little weak, said I. Felix Hausted. Prof. Atkinson: What's the best way to kill a chicken? Whisper: Hatchet. Prof.: I said kill it, not raise it. Whisper: Well? Prof.: I didn't say drown it. Class: We give up. :lr ar- W , . , T 1.. -S - ,ig ncowam mx ,gg F H UMOR-Continued The Boss: Now you haven't done this right at all. If I had known I was going to send an idiot after that package, I would have gone myself. I started when a Freshman To go around with Bill: And now it's four years later And I'm a Freshman still! Stella L.: What's an Eskimo? Browny A.: An Eskimo is one of God's frozen children. Our maid has sharp ears. Yes, I notice the doors are all scratched around the keyholes. Alice L.: What did you do all summer? Pearl R.: I had a position in my father's oflice. And you? Alice L.: I wasn't working either. Miss Allison: The picture of the horse is good. but where's the wagon? Bud Birnie: Oh, the horse will draw that. Art Rosenburgh: I've been wanting to tell you mething for a week back. Bill Olcutt: What, Sloan's liniment? Kay Scott: Who is that letter from? Elinor S.: What do you want to know for? Kay: There you are. What do I want to know r? You're the most inquisitive person I ever met. S0 fo A. Hooke: Yes, the bullet struck my head and careened off into space. J. Schacter: Did they git it out? Jack Ervay: That's a queer pair of stockings you have on, one red and one green. Ercell Carley: Yes, and I've another pair like it at home. Mr. Griffith: Isn't it wonderful how little chicks get out of their shells? Emyln: What gets me is how they get in. Teacher: This is an ideal spot for our school picnic. John: It must be. Fifty million insects can't be wrong. Student: What is the date, please? Professor: Never mind the date. The examina- tion is more important. Student: Well, sir, I wanted to have SOME- THING right on my paper. Teacher: James, did you whisper while I was out of the room? James: Only wunst, ma'am. Teacher: Helen, should James say WUNST? Helen: No, ma'am, he should say TWICET. l96l My dad must have been in all sorts of mischief when he was a boy. What makes you think so? He knows exactly what questions to ask me when he wants to hnd out what I've been doing. Bobby, tell me where the elephant is found. Bobby hesitated a moment: then his face lit up. The elephant, he said, is such a large animal that it is scarcely ever lost. The motorist had just pulled into the filling sta- tion to get gasoline. That done. the attendant was oing through his little ritual. Check the oil, sir? ' It's okay. Got enough water in the radiator? Filled up. Air? No, thanks. Anything else. sir? Yes. would you please stick out your tongue so I can seal this letter?

Waiter: Yes, sir. And would you like any special design on the dishes? Now, children, said the teacher, I want you to be very still so you can hear a pin drop. In a moment all was silent. when a little boy cried out, Okay, teacher, let 'er drop. Do you keep fountain pens? inquired the timid man. No , snapped the clerk. we sell them. Anyway , the man replied, as he strolled toward the door. you'll keep the one you were going to sell me. Johnny , said the teacher, what is one-fifth of three-sixteenths? I don't know exactly , the youngster replied, but it isn't enough to worry about. Teacher: Is there a word, in the English language that contains all the vowels? Bright Student: Unquestionably. Teacher: What is it? Student: I just told you. Diner: I can't eat this soup. Waiter: Sorry, sir. I'l1 call the manager. Diner: Mr. Manager, I can't eat this soup. Manager: I'll call the chef.
