Rome Free Academy - De O Wain Sta Yearbook (Rome, NY)

Text from Pages 1 - 136 of the 1953 volume:

DS te ME, SA soe cx be te a ag ey oem OUR THEME The Rome area, located in the historic Mohawk Valley, is steeped in Indian custom and folklore. Here was the Indian carrying place connecting the water ways of the eastern and western halves of the Iroquois nation. The Indian name for this carrying place gave us the name of our R. F. A. yearbook, De-O-Wain-Sta. Looking back, we observe and profit by their les- sons, customs, and local color. Our spirits are uplifte d by their courage and determination. However, we do appreciate the modern conveniences and customs in our present-day life. We take pride in the achieve- ments made since the day of the Indian. The Indians too had their schools, however infor- mal, their government, sports, clubs, and other activi- ties. Combining the two ways of life throughout, we present the 1953 De-O-Wain-Sta and its theme, the “Modern Indian.” ALMA MATER To thee, R. F. A. Our allegiance we bring With truth and loyalty. As comrades we come With our minds seeking light And our spirits bold and free. O, dear Alma Mater, We will honor thee more and more; So teach us to be true to thee, Alma Mater, R. F, A. 4 ‘ROME FREE ACADEMY HUME, NEW YURA SACHEM Entitled to a special position around our council fires is Mr. F. Anthony Dorsino. To him we have accorded the title of “Sachem,” one who is to be obeyed and respected. This title is not easily earned nor is it to be lightly regarded, for it denotes dignity, honor, and respect. So do we regard Mr. Dorsino. He is not new to the Rome Free Academy, and his spirit has spread its influence through the many pupils who have been fortunate enough to come under his guidance. For his sincerity and ability in his teaching, for his genuiness in all pupil-teacher relations, we take great pleasure in dedicating the 1953 De-O-Wain- Sta to Mr. Dorsino. CHIEFS LYNDON H. STROUGH Su periniendent lo the members of the class of fifty-three: Best wishes for your future success. May you always have goals just a bit beyond your reach, burdens just a bit heavier than you can carry with ease, and happiness just a bit more than you deserve. CARL S. PAIGE Principal De-O-Wain-Sta translated means carrying place. As this place, De-O-Wain-Sta, enabled the Indians to extend their horizons, so may this school have served as a carrying place to wider experiences. I sincerely hope that we of the faculty have helped to smooth the trail for you. If, by your efforts here, you leave prepared to meet your problems, then Rome Free Academy will have served you well as your carrying place.

[8] SENIOR CLASS OFFICERS a ; Marion Boriack, President; Rita Rosati, Treasurer. SENIOR CLASS HISTORY Under the guidance of Miss Katherine Clarke, the class of 1953 had its beginning with the election of Sophomore officers. After registration, a campaign, and election, the officers were found to be James Gillette, President; Peter Updike, Vice-President; Donna La Plante, Secretary; and Marion Boriack, Treasurer, At Christmas it was our traditional Sophomore duty to decorate the halls and auditorium. As a result of our work, the halls and auditorium were gaily decorated, putting forth a real Christmas spirit throughout the school. Over the front entrance in the arch we placed the Nativity scene. As Sophomores we also put on two dances; an “April Showers” dance and a “Senior Send-Off” dance. Toward the end of our Sophomore year we elected our Junior Officers. The result of the election was as follows: James Gillette, President; Peter Updike, Vice-President; Barbara Trull, Secretary; and Rita Rosati, Treasurer. Every Sophomore participated in Moving-Up Day, our final event of the year. After careful planning we held our Junior Prom 16 in the R. F. Kingdom” was chosen as the theme and the decora- on November A. Gym. “Neptune's tions made up the underwater kingdom of Neptune. A committee was chosen to select our class ring, which most of us received at the end of our Junior year. Our last year at R. F. A. began with the De-O- Wain-Sta staff immediately beginning work on the yearbook. Soon after, the Senior play cast began prac- ticing the comedy “Thin Ice” under the direction of Mrs. Bates. Moving-Up Day, The Senior Ball, Class Night, and finally The Graduation Exercises were the more out- standing events of our Senior year. As we, the Class of '53, look back on our three years at R. F. A., we have a fecling of achievement and many wonderful memories.

School was adjourned for the hot summer months of that year, but we returned once again in September. The first few weeks were parallel to the weeks of previous years, for there was the usual maddening rush to buy books, straighten out schedules and to get back into the old grind again. When all became calm, our officers began to map out our plans. First a fund-raising dance was scheduled to acquire funds for our annual Junior Prom. This first social activity was attended by many and we made a large profit. In the following weeks we held many meetings to make plans for the prom. We debated vigorously and finally decided upon ‘Garden In The Rain.’’ We decorated the gymnasium appro- priately and hired a name band to provide music. When the evening of November the twenty-first arrived, we found that a huge crowd had turned out for this immensely. event and everyone enjoyed himself Next on the agenda came the choosing of our Senior ring, which occurred in February of 1953, by the Ring Committee. The committee was com- posed of the fifteen outstanding members of the Junior Prom Dance Committee. After this our class activities lessened for a few months. When the June approached, the familiar air of anxiety and excitement returned, for we were now preparing to ascend to the seats which the Seniors had left vacant. Toward the end of June the big day came. In an impressive and inspiring ceremony we acquired the rank of Senior along with the senior colors and privileges. Yes, it was a distinct honor, an honor gained by hard work, sincerity and sportsmanship, and we know that we will have a successful Senior year if it is at all like our past Junior year. month of TEPEE 6 Front Row, left to right: M.

The final score was 12-6. The traditional rivalry between Rome and U.F.A. was won by Utica, the visiting team.

Whitesboro showed strength on the ground and in the air and defeated Rome 32-12. On Thanksgiving Day the Rome team played its annual turkey day rival, White Plains. The Red and White of White Plains proved just too heavy and fast for the Rome underdogs and the one sided game ended in a score of 44-0.

Last year’s R.F.A. track and field team reached a peak of popularity never before enjoyed by previous Academy teams in this sport. Under the capable leadership of Coaches Fornal and Weed, the team had twelve meets, making a creditable showing in each. The Section III relay, which was the first meet of the season, was held under lights at the stadium. The team surprised everyone by taking second place in the class A division, only six points behind Utica. The first annual Central-Oneida League meet was held under stadium lights. Rome took third place in this meet with 27 points. New Hartford won this meet with U.F.A. second. O. D. Bitley proved to be one of the best 880 dash men around central New York when he took second place in the sectionals and qualified for the finals at West Point. The 880 relay team of Bill Chopie, Capt. Jim Hatter, and Bob Alessi also qualified for West Point. This spring's team is expected to be even better than last year’s because of the experience and added enthusiasm. Quite a few of last year's regulars have graduated, but a strong nucleus remains which should help to provide a successful season. Front Row, left to right: S. Pomilio, T. Lattanzio, E. Stooks, M.

The game went into extra innings with the Uticans coming out on top of a 4 to 3 score. Thom Lawler, hard hitting third sacker, led the entire league with .448 mark at bat. He also led in runs scored with a total of 13. Outstanding pitchers were Dan Dutcher, Mike Mizgala, Ray Plunkett, Lou Biondi, and Bill Robinson. Robinson, a junior, pitched a near perfect game against New Hartford in his first start, giving up just one hit as his mates pounded out a 14-1 victory. With a few exceptions, last year’s squad will be playing again this season. Those back will include outfielder Ron Edick, infielders Conrad Dutcher, Frank Viviani, and Jim McCarthy, catcher Joe Borden, and all the pitchers except Plunkett.

The spider was merely looking over the paper to see which merchant was not advertising so that he could go to that store, spin his web across the door and lead a life of undisturbed peace afterward. It's even more true today. People are buying and reading more newspapers than ever before in history. Population has increased 47°, since 1920 . . . but news- paper circulation has increased 94%!
