O, dear Alma Mater, We will honor thee more and more; So teach us to be true to thee, {lma Mater, R.F.A. We, the class of 1961, feel that each line of our school’s Alma Mater represents some phase of life at Rome Free Academy. Therefore, we have chosen our Alma Mater as the theme for the 1961 edition of the De-O-Wain- Sta. We are using these words, written by Mr. John O. Lundblad, former music teacher at R.F.A., to point out the highlights of our senior year. We sincerely hope you will realize our pride in our alma mater and our endeavor to live up to her ideals. Permit us to introduce “SCHOOL SPIRIT.” Since he has meant a lot to us during our years at Rome Free Academy, we have asked him to guide you through this book, the chronicle of our high sche ol careers. ror y yr “ yP WITH TRUTH AND LOYALT A high school diploma is a key to the door of opportunity — opportunity for success and a fuller life, for better understanding of the world and its people. You make use of the key only when you have the initiative to turn the key in the lock and the ambition to open the door. May each of you find your heart’s desire beyond the door. LYNDON H. STROUGH Superintendent Board of Education The students of Rome Free Academy are privileged to have a group of citizens as thoughtful and dependable as the members of the Board of Education. Their ded- icated effort to supply us with the modern equipment we utilize day in and day out is deeply appreciated. We, the class of 1961, are grateful for the fine service and for the wonderful educational system that this group has made possible to all of us. Left to Right: Russ Destito, C. Eugene Roe, Nicholas Bush, Charles Edkins, President; Robert Bidwell, Dr. Frederick K. Reid, Donald Fulton. Principals The theme chosen for the 196] yearbook is the Alma Mater. Translated from the Latin, Alma Mater means “foster mother” or “protect- ing mother”. We hope that Rome Free Acad- emy has served you in this capacity during the years you have spent here — that, like a mother, her guidance and inspiration have led you to do your best work. Your Alma Mater takes pride in your achievements. May the experience you have gained in Rome Free Academy help you to attain the high goals to which you aspire. Carl S. Paige As the years pass, you will have many memories of Rome Free Academy. May these memories be pleasant ones, and may you so live and achieve that your Alma Mater will be proud of you. Myron J. Whittemore Dedication We, the class of 1961, enthusiastically dedicate this year’s De-O-Wain-Sta to Mr. JOSEPH UVANNI, a chemistry teacher at Rome Free Academy. Not only has he gained the respect of his students, but he has earned their friendship as well. Mr. Uvanni’s sense of justice, quick humor, and thorough teaching methods are traits which we all admire. He has al- ways shown an interest in R.F.A. students and their activities, both inside and outside the classroom. Therefore, we, the Rome Free Academy class of 1961, because we believe Joseph Uvanni to be one of the finest individuals we know, give him this special salute in our yearbook.

Many were thrilled as the colorful band spritely performed half-time shows at football games. The band gave unique performances at numerous school assemblies throughout Rome and _ participated in such programs as the School Music Festival and the.annual spring contest. This organization has inspired not only its members to continue their musical education, but also has encouraged others to begin an instrument.

The solution of problems, identities, and equations helps the student to develop a system of logical thinking which is also useful in other fields. Many students at R.F.A. prefer a commercial course. Courses in typing, short- hand, bookkeeping, office practice, and secretarial training prepare students for various occupations in the business world. or prepare them to go on to a secretarial school.

On October Auburn High to the tune of 49-12. In our second away game. an underdog Rome eleven thwarted the overconfident Proctor team’s dream of a C.O.L. championship by defeating them 20-14. Back at the Stadium again on October 28, the Black Knights met near defeat at the hands of the W hitesboro gridders. However, with brilliant team play, the Knights emerged 20-14 victors. The brightest spot in the 1960 season came on November 4, when the traditional R.F.A.-U.F.A. game was played. At the end of the first half. things looked very gloomy for the Black Knights, as they trailed the Titans 14-7. However. brilliant offensive and defensive play in the second half brought R.F.A. a 28-14 conquest of our archrivals. The following week, a high-flying Watertown team invaded the Black Knights’ home grounds. On that chilly evening, the numerous cheers of the Watertown fans were as bleak as thé weather to the Romans. for R.F.A. went down to their worst defeat of the season, 51-0. Looking back at the 1960 season. we can be extremely proud of our eridders. who won the Central Oneida League. for on close examination of the record. we see that two teams New Rochelle and Watertown who beat the Black Knights, went undefeated, while Lawrence, our other conquerer, lost only one game in their rugged Metropolitan schedule.

O Dear Alma Mater of , . hte ioigt QU “ ie ae if Nie =a ait eae Seniors Senior Class David Grow President Thomas Spar Vice-President Palma Giardino Secretary Officers of 1961 Virginia Guggi Treasurer Miss Katherine Clarke, senior class advisor, gives advice to the officers. Class History When, as Sophomores, the class of 1961 entered the doors of Rome Free Academy, we had great ex- pectations. During the year, our truth and loyalty grew steadily. As time progressed, we showed our spirit by electing William Berkman, President; Palma Giardino, Vice-President; Patricia Mandronico, Sec- retary; and Maureen Wayman, Treasurer of the class. Our officers held our spirits bold and free by helping us sponsor dances and d¢corate the corridors of our school for the Christmas season. Honoring our Alma Mater more and more, as Juniors. we were headed by David Grow, President; Thomas Spargo, Vice-President; Maureen Wayman, Secretary; and Virginia Guggi, Treasurer. Our main objective was to make our Junior Prom one we would always remember. Using the theme “Bali H’ai,” we thought our prom was truly a South Pacific paradise. The highlight of our Junior Year came with the arrival of our rings. For days we did nothing but admire their gleaming beauty. Then. as Seniors, with our minds forever seeking light, we chose David Grow, President: Thomas Spargo, Vice-President; Palma Giardino, Secretary; and Virginia Guggi, Treasurer. Our Senior Play, “NUTS IN MAY.” started a successful series of events for our Senior Class. Senior pictures and name cards created an important center of interest for several weeks. Seniors eagerly looked forward to the Senior Ball, an event which is dreamt about perhaps more than anything else in our high school life. In anticipation of the Senior Banquet, Commencement, and Alumni Night, we became aware of the fleeting days and the short time left to us in Rome Free Academy. Shortly, we will be gone; but we shall never forget our Alma Mater and the guidance we have received within her walls. Memorial Elaine Gubbins So be my passing! My task accomplished and the day done, My wages taken, and in my heart Some late lark singing, Let me be gathered to the quiet west, The sundown splendid and serene Death.

AUTOGRAPHS W « Will Honor Bhee More and More: The Class of 1962 OFFICERS Left to Right: Roberta Tracy, Secretary: Thomas Kenjarski, President: Bernadette Remick, Treasurer; Gerald Weiss, Vice-President. Class History The class of 62 began their sojourn at R.F.A. with the election of Thomas Kenjarski, President; Charles Gardinier, Vice-President; Roberta Tracy, Secretary; and Bernadette Remick, Treasurer. Our first big contribution to school life was decorating the halls for the Christmas season. We also held a very successful dance called “February Fantasy.” We started our busy Junior year with Tom Kenjarski, President; Gerard Weiss, Vice-President; Roberta Tracy, Secretary: and Bernadette Remick, Treasurer. Our first big project was to raise money for our prom by having an in- formal record hop. The Junior Prom, with its theme of “Manhattan Moods” was held January 27, 1961, in the beautifully decorated gym. We marked the end of a wonderful Junior year when we received our class rings late in the spring. Mr. Hayes Class Advisor HOMEROOM SSH Front Row, Left to Right: J. Allen, K. Barnard, C. Gibson, J.

Class History The Freshmen of Staley Junior High and Laurel Junior High joined in September, 1960, to form the class of 1963. The first big event of the year was the Sophomore election. Barbara Pritchard was chosen President; Camille Salce, Vice-President; Susan Luizzi, Secretary; and John Del Piano, Treasurer; with Mrs. Weinkauf as Advisor. In December we sponsored the sophomore dance, “Snow- flake Hop.” which was a big success. We also decorated the halls to put the school in the spirit of Christmas. Besides attending basketball and football games, we also had a new experience — regents. Our first year at R. F. A. was wonderful and fascinating, and we are now anxious to see what R. F. A. has in store for us in the future. Mrs. Weinkauf Class Advisor HOMEROOM 102 Front Row, Left to Right: T. Barto- lotti, C. Ames, C. Beckwith, B. Baldigo, W. Beach, A. Andriette, C. Armitage.
