Each pupil had high ambitions and ideals which he vowed he would carry out. We were jeered and scorned by the upper classmen, but they changed their rune when they saw the splendid work we did in decorating the school at Christmas time. Almost without warning, our junior year was upon us and we were thrilled at the joy of having the honor of becoming upper classmen. It was at this time that things began to happen. Many of our members participated in athletics: others, in clubs and social activities. The main social function of our junior year was the Junior Prom. Because of the destruction of our beautiful school building, the “Prom” was held at the Fort Stanwix School Again we were praised by our superiors for our exceptional taste and ability. Now at last we are seniors and our goals have been reached. We feel that our senior year has been best of all. Following the usual precedent, we presented a senior play and took pride in publishing this De-O-Wain-Sta. It is now our turn to leave our Alma Mater and enter college and the business world. We are confident that the exceptional training we have received will be a factor in our future success.

Junior Class History Entering the Rome Free Academy in the fall of 1937, we embarked on a new scholastic career. As sophomores we co-operated in the decoration of the halls and auditorium at Christmas time. Now as we are in the second chapter of our high-school life, we are planning the annual Junior-Senios reception to be held in June. The Junior Class congratulates the seniors and wishes them much success in years to come. We shall try to uphold the shining examples devel- oped by the class of 1939 Tom Co.uccio, ’40.

On the eve of the R. F. A.-U. F. A. football game, students, alumni, and friends gathered in the Capitol Theatre, where they participated in a pep meeting prepared by the cheerleaders. We certainly appreciate the work of these boys and girls in stirring up the strong school spirit which exists this year. Chorus We are proud of our chorus which this year has reached its peak of popularity. Under the able guidance of Mr. Lundblad, it has been adjudged one of the finest in Central New York, and is noted for its a cappella work. This year the chorus was guest of the Rotary Club, the First Baptist Church, the First Methodist Church, the Presbyterian Church, and the Rome Free Academy faculty at their annual banquet at Christmas time. Despite lack of proper facilities for rehearsals, we feel that our chorus has attained a worthy goal. Soloists are Miss Eleanor Patala and Miss Eileen Kime, sopranos, and Charles Young, bass. Dante Club The Dante Club was organized in 1934, with the purpose of increasing the appreciation of the language, history, and culture of Italy. Every month the club has meetings at which slides are shown depicting various points of interest in Italy, and discussions on Italian life are held. The club has sent invitations to several clubs in the city offering to show slides. OFFICERS President Vice-President Secretar} Joseph Fragapane Treasurer Mr. Joseph Palombi Faculty Adviser a...

At the bi-monthly meetings, intramural debates, discussions in open forum, and parties are held. During the year, the Roman Forum had an Alumni Christmas party sold candy at the basketball games, and made the plans for the first debate letter to be awarded to any member who participates in interscholastic debates of which six are decision contests, or any individual speaker who reaches the state finals in the National Forensic League Tournament. This year the proposition chosen by the National Forensic League, of which the Roman Forum is an outstanding chapter, was: “Resolved: That the United States should form an alliance with Great Britain.” The membership of the complete debate squad includes Robert Bau- mann, Richard Valone, Betty Lanigan, George Larkin, Lloyd Peters, Louis Pannone, Rowland Ludden, Douglas Wilson, and Robert Lippman. On March 18, at Syracuse Central High School, Rome debated with Hornell, Syracuse Central, Lyons, Norwich, and Syracuse Vocational High Schools in a practice tournament in debate. March 25, a practice tournament in speech was held at Syracuse Vocational in which Rome entered humorous, oratorical, dramatic and original oratory, and extemporaneous speaking. On April 1, at Syracuse Vocational, Rome placed se cond in debate at a sectional tournament with Norwich, Syracuse Central and Syracuse Vocational. Individual speech winners were Valone, Baumann, Peters, Lanigan, Bird, Dowd, and Pannone in two events. These speakers plus the debate team, consisting of Ludden and Peters, affirmative, and Baumann and Valone. nega- tive, were eligible for the state tournament at Hornell. At Hornell, April 21 and 22, the debate team tied Jamestown for sec- ond place while Gloversville won first. Rome won six and lost two debates. In speech Betty Lanigan earned first place as state champion in Humorous Declamation while Betty Bird placed third. Louis Pannone received the state championship in Original Oratory and also placed fifth in Dramatic Declamation. Janet Dowd won third position in this contest and Robert Bau- mann gained fifth place in Oratorical Declamation. In the Student Congress, Robert Lippman represented Rome. Betty Lanigan, Louis Pannone, and the debate team are eligible to enter the national tournament to be held at Beverly Hills, California. This is the fifth consecutive time Rome has qualified for national tournaments. Two students from the Forum will be selected to attend the model Con- gress sponsored by Syracuse University May 5 and 6. Representatives from five states will participate. Much of the inspiration and success of both the debate team and the Roman Forum belongs to our beloved coach and sponsor. We sincerely thank Mrs. Gerald Lyng.

The team retained most of the members of last year’s squad, but it was facing one of the most trying schedules it ever undertook. On September 24th we met the Golden Gaels of Saint Aloysius and subdued them very easily by a 19 to O score. October 1st saw us playing host to the Golden Cyclones of Watertown. During the first half the heavier visitors completely overpowered us and led by one touchdown. An inspired Academy team came on the field for the second half, which saw the line charging fiercely and the backfield sparkling on the offensive as passes from Pace to Giaquinto and Tyksinski spelled Watertown’'s defeat in the closing minutes of the game. Patsy Retrossi’s line playing at center was outstanding. The final score was Rome 13—Water- town 7. bE ON INST FOOTBALL—(Cotinued) On the 8th the Big Blue and White team of Oswego came to Wright Field and went down to defeat before a tricky Rome team, which outmaneu- vered and outsmarted the visitors. The result: Rome 20—Oswego 0. Ithaca played host to the “Men of Meldrim” on the 15th. A crowd of 5,000 saw a grueling game played in an 80-degree temperature. Rome scored quickly in the first quarter and held on to the lead tenaciously until the fourth quarter, when the Red and White forged ahead. Rome's vaunted passing attack went to work and consistent gains were made until Eddie Tyksinski skirted left end for twenty-two yards and a hard-earned 12-7 victory. On the 27th we played the powerful Morrisville Aggies here. Johnny Giaquinto ripped the enemy line into shreds as he tore off sensational advances. The blond speedster, Eddie Tyksinski, and the quarterback, Peter Pace, played brilliant ball as we triumphed 20 to 0. On the 29th we visited Oneida and there met one of the finest teams to represent that school during recent years. Our famed passing and running attack with its baffling variations and plays proved too difficult for the Dun- canites to fathom. The entire R. F. A team starred in the easy 26 to 0 romp. There was a week's rest for the battered Academy team. On the 10th of November one of the most unique banquets in the history of Rome was staged. The 1913 Academy team, which was undefeated in ten games, held a reunion, attended by practically all the members. Some traveled as far as 3,000 miles to be present. Twenty-five members of this year’s squad were guests. On November 12th we played the Pent-Ups from Utica at Wright Field. Before the game, the 1913 team lined up and kicked off to an imag- inary foe. The most sensational contest of the long series was played before 7,000 half-hysterical rooters. Time and time again the Orange and Black avalanche swept up and down the gridiron. Forward passes, intercepted passes, laterals, trick plays, and recovered fumbles all went for scores. Eddie Tyksinski had a field day and accomplished the unbelievable feat of ‘tallying 39 points single-handed. Johnny en Pete Pace and Captain Ted Buczek were particularly outstanding in a game in which all the players starred. The final score of the rout was Rome 58, Utica 7. James Spargo gave the entire R. F. A. squad a banquet for defeating Utica, as is his custom whenever the Men of Edkin are subdued by the Academy pigskin warriors. Much of the season’s success is due to the reserves, Coach Leo Meldrim, and the “Board of Strategy,’ composed of Nick Vaccaro, Tony Ritchie, and Frank Seccurra. li il al il idl DE -ONA™AN-SE NG Basketball Leo MELDRIM—Coach Dick VALONE—Manager LETTERMEN Johnny Vaccaro Adolph Civiok Eddie Schiller Bob Wicks Eddie Tyksinski Charlie Vredenburg Carl Eakins Johnny Giaquinto George Brenon Alfred Jenny Pete Pace Manager Dick Valone SQUAD Patsy Retrossi Dom Andronaco Paul Braun Fred Dair Jim Ferrare Faye Griffin Joe Mercurio Armando Seccurra The Academy cagers were faced with the most arduous schedule in their history. Despite this fact, they compiled a creditable record, winning nine and losing ten games after a very slow start. All the home games were played on the Y. M. C. A. court; because last year’s fire destroyed our gym. 4 Le OWA % AN: BASKETBALL—( Continued) December 17th saw us open the season at home against Syracuse Voca tional. The visitors finally uwriumphed in the closing seconds of the game by a 24 to 28 score. Considering that it was the first game, Captain Vaccaro and the boys played fine ball. The next week saw us bow to St. Francis in Utica. Again the score was close and the Saints finally eked out a 25 to 21 decision. The following week a rejuvenated Academy team took the floor at Oneida and defeated the home team by an emphatic 52 to 21 score. Everyone played fine ball. The first game of the new year found St. Francis playing here. Lady Luck seemed reluctant to string along with the Men of Meldrim and the visitors won a 28 to 26 verdict in an overtime period. We faced the Golden Gaels of St. Aloysius at the “Y” and bowed 21 to 14. The visitors piled up a ten-point lead at the end of the first quarter. After that R. F. A. rallied, but the spurt wasn’t quite enough to overcome the Saints. A powerful Syracuse North team met us here and was defeated in a thrilling game by a 31 to 30 score. Johnny Vaccaro paced the scoring with twelve points. Then we played our first 4-A League game with Utica here. The play of the Turin Streeters was disappointing and the Pent-Ups won 31 to 16. Oneida was taken into camp here by a 36 to 17 score. The Orange and Black regained the expected form and clicked on all cylinders as they won handily. Amsterdam played host next. This great aggregation had won over forty consecutive games and was rated as one of the best teams in the state. They proved their right to this distinction as they romped away with a 43 to 16 verdict. Despite the one-sided score, Rome played good ball but was simply outclass ed. The R. F. A. hard luck then fell before Watertown in a thrilling league game here, which was won by a conversion of a foul in the last half- minute of play. The score was Watertown 25—Rome 24. Another 4-A game was played at Rome with Oswego, and we won in an overtime period. A brilliant spurt in the extra time brought us a 36-27 triumph. We captured our second league victory at Watertown in another over- time game. The caliber of our play was excellent. The score was 31 to 30. The powerful Amsterdam cagers came here next and the locals were defeated only after a game and stubborn battle. A brilliant bit of play in the closing minutes brought the Academy within striking distance of the classy visitors, but they finally won, 39 to 28. Then we played our third consecutive overtime league game here against Utica. The Romans seemed jinxed and succumbed in the extra period by a 33 to 35 score. BASKETBALL— (Continz The Rome basketeers lost another overtime game at Oswego. The home team defeated our jinx-ridden five in the last game. The score was 27 to 21. The second city championship game saw us play excellent ball as we easily won, 35 to 21. Eddie Schiller played a beautiful game, contributing sixteen points to the scoring. The series was left deadlocked as the Saints canceled the third and deciding game Thus the season ended with a record of six wins and ten losses, but we received a bid to the Whitesboro Invitation Tournament. It was there that Rome played great ball. In the first-round game, we defeated a big and pow- erful New Hartford team. They were completely outplayed and lost, 33 to 18. The next week, in a semi-final game, we conquered a scrappy Lowville High team by a 29 to 23 score. This victory put us in the finals against a favored Frankfort High School team. However, we put on a second-half rally and took a 23 to 17 victory. After the game, Captain Vaccaro was given a beautiful trophy for the school. Eddie Schiller and Eddie Tyksinski were chosen on the Tournament All-Star team. Eddie Schiller won the city scoring championship with 140. points. Johnny Vaccaro had 125 points. Despite its hard luck, R. F. A. had a fine season. Much of the success is due to the good junior varsity team. — —se .

As I open the pages of the magazine, I find that it is dedicated to the most brilliant success of that noted class—Miss Eileen Kime, our Metropolitan Opera prima donna. She certainly has not been forgotten by her classmates, for her years of intensive study have placed her upon a pinnacle of fame which all of us regard with awe. However, Eileen is not the only famous person. My contemporaries have blazed their ways in many fields. Oh, look!

Dick Valone is manager of the Ohio State basketball team, and in his spare time he does a little coaching. Milford Myles has taken over Tyrone P ower’s place in the hearts of American women. At least he has achieved a field broad enough for his talents. Mary Curley is designing clothes. She has resigned trom her position in Saks, Fifth Avenue, and has gone into business for herself. And, I hear, she’s doing a rushing business.
