— 7 £ 2 Oo LL ‘a’ De-O-Wain-Sta Rome Free Academy Rome, New York 1963 Students at RFA learn aquatic skills while Coach Myron Wells looks on. Mike Monroe tests chemicals in new lab. The 1963 De-O-Wain-Sta presents with pride all our activities and endeavors throughout the school year that will be remembered in future years. We hope you will share with us our pride in Rome Free Academy — its administration and faculty, student body, sports, activities, and the scholastic as well as the athletic achievements. We can boast of modern facilities and good student government guided by the excellent members of the cabinet. We can boast of the new methods of training that benefit us. Our Alma Mater has been the scene of many ac- tivities and will always be a storehouse of memories. Rome Free Academy is a place not only for acquiring knowledge, but also for learning to live with others. Here we meet new friends and put the fundamentals of government into practice through the Student As- sociation. In everything we do, we reflect a pride in our school and for what it stands. The seniors now “point with pride” more than in past years. This is their final year in a school that for three years has been a main part of their lives. Mem- ories ranging from classes to dances begin to mean more now that their time here is almost over. For the juniors and sophomores there is still time to build their pride in RFA. We hope that in future years you will still “point with pride” to our Alma Mater, RFA. With these things in mind the staff presents the theme of the 1963 De-O-Wain-Sta ... We Point with Pride Dedication An individual is made up of many things. Every phase of his life at Rome Free Academy has influenced his char- acter. He is part of all the teachers he has known, part of all the friends he greets daily in the halls, part of the ac- tivities and sports he has participated in, and part of all his scholastic and personal achievements. He is a unique product of a certain environment, of particular acquaint- ances, and of an unknown quality — all of which distinguish him from his fellow man. During his years in high school, an individual sets his goals in life and begins his climb to reach these goals. He decides what he values as important and worthy of his efforts. These things make up only part of the complex individual. Since our parents, teachers, and friends (yes, and even our enemies) influence our character, we become a part of one another. Our lives, like ripples in a stream, begin as separate units and slowly become inter-related. One life, upon touching another, becomes a part of the other. The personalities with whom each student acquaints himself while at Rome Free Academy strengthen and broaden him as an individual. His originality and individuality sharpen as each level of his education progresses with each new acquaintance. If our knowledge of life were affected by our personal experiences only, we would be deficient in knowledge, and our chances for a successful and happy life would be stifled. Each acquaintance, good or bad, leaves with us a lesson or a bit of knowledge which further helps us to understand better the mysteries of life. Each individual at Rome Free Academy, each student, each teacher, and each administrator is worthy of remark and recognition, for each has left his indelible mark upon our lives. With this in mind, the 1963 De-O-Wain-Sta humbly, yet proudly, dedicates this yearbook to you — every individual of Rome Free Academy. Table of Contents Student Body Administration Activities Sports Student Life Advertisements STUDENT BODY In the year eighteen hundred and seventy, Rome Academy changed from a private school, with a limited educational program, to Rome Free Acad- emy, an institution that offers education to all who reside within its bound- aries. This year's student body of 2100, largest in RFA’s history, will long be remembered not only for its outstanding number but also for its out- standing year — a year filled with scholastic and athletic promise, to which...

Somehow we rattled through those nervewracking Regents, and after a hectic summer of summer-school, swimming, and job here and there, we bustled back to lord it over the confused sopho- mores and to play slave to the superior (??? )seniors. This, our Junior year, may have been intermediary, but it was, nonetheless, a year of pride and accom- plishment. We swung right into the spirit of things with a record donation to the Food Drive in November. Many weeks of working with our officers, President Mr. Pelkey, our advisor, helps Mary Ann Tagliaferri and Chris Brodock. Barb Pritchard, Vice-President Pete Zawaly, Secretary Carol Jones, and Treasurer Doug Thaler, coupled with many weeks of toiling committees and assorted que- ries, climaxed the day we oh-so-proudly received our class rings. To us they are unique ... almost as much as our Junior Prom ... “Carousel” ... which brought compliments galore and established a standard it will take a long time to equal One more summer and we had bridged the chasm between eleventh and twelfth grades, becoming “mighty seniors.” Moreover, we had become individu- als expressing particular interests and embarking upon diversified paths into the future. As each event ap- proached, we anticipated it in our own personal way; as each event passed, we remembered it in our own personal way. As such we chose Pete Zawaly, Camille Salce, Debbie Castle, and John DelPiano our able guides; rehearsed and re-rehearsed for our capacity- crowd Senior Play — “Turn Back the Clock,” chipped in on the Thanksgiving Drive, eagerly ordered our name cards (let’s see ... do | have over 100 friends! and graduation announcements, stood posture-perfect for our cap and gown measurements, crammed for those mind-draining college boards and dreaded June Regents (as always). We powdered and polished for our senior pictures, and counted calories before the Senior Banquet. After going half batty waiting for college and job acceptances, and nearly delirious when they finally came, we arrived somewhat shy, somewhat scared, somewhat eager ... but all-won- dering, at our “big moment” ... graduation. Bac- calaureate put us in the mood ... thankful for alll our blessings, hopeful for all our tomorrows, aspiring for all our undiscovered potentials, unprayed prayers, and undreamed dreams. We now stand between all that is past and all that is future. As individuals we will blend into the world now, and as individuals we will be proud to have graduated from RFA ... our Alma Mater.

Our new class officers: President, Bill Fernandez; Vice-President, Gary Selden; Secretary, Geraldine Corigiliano; Treasurer, Cyndy Stropp, assum- ing the initiative, prepared to guide us through another phase of scholastic growth and maturity. Our determina- tion as a class was demonstrated to the student body by our taking the lead in the annual Thanksgiving Drive. For many weeks, every thought, emotion, and all our free time was occupied in preparation for our most important social event, the Junior Prom, which was par- tially financed by our basketball jump-off dance held in late November. “June in January” left vivid impressions of whirling skirts, dark suits, and bubbling faces. An- ticipating college and a career, we willingly and cour- geously faced a battery of tests, including PSAT, Merit Scholarship, and College Boards, in addition to the ever present regents exams. In early May our conspicuously fluttering fingers, bejeweled with new class rings, daz- zled all. Looking back upon these events, we feel we can justly reminisce with pride. Realizing the importance of their scholastic futures, Juniors industri- ously work for a high rating on their P.S.A.T.’s.

SOPHOMORES step slowly Bewildered Sophomores, having come as two sepa- rate classes from Laurel Junior High and Staley Junior High, we entered Rome Free Academy in the fall of 1962, confronted with a maze of frightening corridors Our first tentative step in becoming acquainted with our new school life was to elect our officers: President, Doug Magee; Vice-President, Russ Marriott; Secretary, Dorothy Opitto; and Treasurer, Linda Collier. This com- petitive campaign was accompanied by a bright array of election posters lining the halls. With growing confi- dence in unified class endeavors, the Sophomore class, using imagination and skill, decorated the corridors spreading the festive Christmas spirit among the stu- dents. Highlighting the year, our Sophomore Hop was held in April. A magic fairyland unfolded as the night of the dance began, and its success entirely depended upon the individuals who made up our class, a Sopho- more class now enriched with the promise of leadership and unity. Converging into one Sophomore class with a promise of strength and advancement, we can now point with pride to our success, and we can anticipate a more fruitful Junior year. Club help orientate new Sophomores. Posing with their adviser, Mr. Hayes, are Doug Magee , Russ Marriott, Linda Collier, and Dorothy Opitto. North Cafe. Mrs. Boden ROW 1: L. Montalbano, J.

ADMINISTRATION The well trained one-hundred-and-nine-member administration is clearly aware of their tremendous responsibility to make Rome Free Academy one of the leading scholastic and academic high schools in New York State. This administration has grown from a few members to the largest in the history of RFA, with teachers that have taught in its classrooms for forty-five de- voted years. The successful effort by the administration in achieving the curriculum to develop harmonious student-teacher relationships is one to which .. . WE POINT WITH PRIDE (ram A pe pS | Lyndon H. Strough J. R. Woods, E. C. Roe, N. J. Bush, R. P. Destito, Dr. F. K. Reid, R. C. Bidwell, E. L. Kingsley, G. B. Wo- ters, Absent: D. W. Fulton. Behind the Educational Scene Lyndon H. Strough, Superintendent of the Rome Public School System since 1945, is unquestionably a man of deep-felt duty and dedication to his position and its responsi- bilities. His administrating abilities, so clearly evident in the fruitful progress of our city’s educational facilities and standards, are equaled only by his outstanding character. The extent of the pride of us, the students of Rome Free Academy, in this man is im- measurable. We also look with proper pride upon our extremely capable Board of Education, a group of devoted citizens to whom so much is due for the extraordinary quality of the teacher’s employment, and for the welcome and needed improvements to the schools of Rome themselves. Rome is indeed fortunate to have such people in charge of providing increasingly better educational facilities in this complex age where an excellent educa- tion is a matter of necessity. Mr. Strough discusses current school prob- lems with two members of the board, L. Kingsley and J. Bush. Mr. Carl S. Paige, the administrator of Rome Free Academy for twenty ; years, has handled smoothly school af- fairs. Included in his manyfold duties as principal of RFA, Mr. Paige has charge of all teachers and supervises student activities. Endeavoring to im prove the present situation, Mr. Paige also shows great concern for the future of Rome Free Academy. He has never failed to be interested in the problems of every student. We point with pride to our capable principal. Working hand in hand with Mr. Paige, Mr. Myron Whittemore, the as- sistant principal, has been at Rome Free Academy since 1919. Formerly with the science and the guidance departments, Mr. Whittemore became the assistant principal seven years ago. Serving as the school’s administrator of discipline, his job is certainly not one of the most pleasant. With his many years of expe- rience in guidance, Mr. Whittemore is aware of the difficulties facing students and skillfully steers them in the right direction. The patience and sincere in- terest of Mr. Whittemore in each in- dividual student gives us ample regson to point to him with pride. MRS. L. WOLZMUTH Future Nurses of America MRS. B. J. HEBERLIG MRS.

DeCastro solicits the aid of Mrs Pangburn Office Staff Never a dull moment describes life in the office of RFA. The six conscientious workers who compose the staff are always busy. Serving as secretaries to Mr. Paige and Mr. Whittemore is a full-time job, but in addition, the office personnel pro- vide an efficient information bu- reau. Physical examinations, eye and ear tests, record keeping, first aid, and checking students that have been ill are the duties performed by our versatile school nurse Mrs. L. Wolzmuth. MRS. A. M. IMLER L. M. MEEKINS Guidance Significantly figuring in the life of each student, RFA’s five guidance counselors are indispensable. The all-important job of planning sched- ules for over 2,100 students and planning those essential college and vocational conferences consumes a great part of their time. Approxi- mately fifty-two colleges are repre- sented at these conferences where students can become better ac- quainted with various colleges and are better able to decide on their future plans. MRS. C. V. O'BRIEN y = Students anxious to see guidance counselors wait in the busy office MRS. D. HAGERTY L. E. BROWN Future Teachers of America Books from Sophomore through Senior year — an “organized approach to knowledge specifi ‘Scanning the Printed Score”’ Concentration concepts conquest As a skilled composer blends notes to conjure an image in the listener’s mind, so any student must rec- ognize and blend the opportunities afforded him through Rome Free Academy’s organized approach to knowledge — knowledge at once liberal and specific. To help individuals realize this goal, R.F.A. has es- tablished a department system harmonizing English, mathematics, history, languages, science, music, art, technical, mechanical, and industrial skills, home eco- nomics, driving, physical education, and commercial training. This diversity allows each student to seek out his individual proficiencies and aptitudes and develop them through progressive steps. He is counseled and given a basis through the required courses — English, World and American History, and either health or biology, then left to develop his personal interests through elective courses in the sciences and the hu- manities. Each department is staffed with teachers well versed in their respective fields, and specifically trained to guide the student so that he might better develop his opportunities. As a musician scans the printed score before attempting to play, we shall scan the departments that we might better know them. MRS. D. WATTERS Department Head English Walk into any English room and you'll notice the dog-eared paperbacks shelved along the wall or stacked in a well finger-marked green cabinet. This but hints at the interest students profess for learning to read and enjoy that reading, learning to write clearly and with force, and becoming familiar with the world’s literary masterpieces. R.F.A.’s English Department, the largest depart- ment consisting of nineteen teachers, tape recorders and record players, wandering projectors, and op- portunities for cultural enrichment through such rare innovations as the trip to “The Match-Maker” — has developed a three-track program to accommodate stu- dent needs and further such interest. It’s non-regents, regents, and scholarship courses challenge the student, offering him a Sophomore year crammed with ballads, s hort stories, and novels — to the extent that Madame DeFarge, Edgar Allen Poe, and Pearl Buck become personal friends and “Its a far, far better thing | do —” is the password to everything; a Junior year complete with plays, essays, biographies and lyric poetry, (re- member Shakespeare) so that by June most Juniors automatically spout their pet phrase —‘Out, out brief candle;” and a Senior year reknown for it’s dreaded term paper. Actually Seniors may choose the English courses they pursue. After struggling through the man- datory practical writing, they may elect speech, Amer- ican literature, or English literature. This diversity of courses widens the intellectual horizons of students, challenging them to seek, and thus, to learn. The doctor, Tom sleepwalks. MRS. F.

FARRELL � BACHER ...From knowledge of the past, comes wisdom to deal with the present, and hope for the future. Striving to attain personal enrichment and a grasp on the fast-moving epic of the 20th century, the Sophomore class delves into world history - meeting personages from both medieval and modern European his- tory, and examining the bonds created through Europe’s self-extension to Asia, Africa, and the Americas. Having become intimately acquainted with Napoleon, they come back, in their Junior year, face to face with the men and women who have molded ‘our American heritage, from the days of log cabins to the moments of space explorations, and, by the end of June, have made Dolly Madison, Abe Lincoln, and astronaut Scott Carpenter, “one of the bunch.” As well as meeting personages, American History students hope to obtain a clearer understanding of the ideologies governing the peoples of the world. Statistics-wise, Rome Free Academy’s history department employs the minds and talents of sixteen teachers, four of whom are new this year, who, through non-regents, regents, and scholarship-regents courses, are guiding students along the path of knowledge . . . to an appreciation of yesteryear, an awareness of today, and a desire to be a contributing force of tomorrow.

Parkhurst do physics labs Curiosity + Conquest In an age of increasing emphasis on science, more and more students are participating in Rome Free Academy’s excellent science program. Biology, usually considered a Sophomore subject, deals with the study of life in all its forms. A pupil studies plant life and animal life. Up-to-date equip- ment in the laboratory helps the student. Chemistry students also enjoy the conveniences of a new lab, supplied with new semi-micro equipment where students perform chemical reactions ranging from Hy + S = H S to the makeing of soap. Pupils are encouraged to work on their own although, each year, a few bright students decide to discover for themselves what happens when HO is added to hydrochloric acid. J. STYSH Ski Club E.

Mr. Palombi RFA’s foremost opponent of the “cookbook method,” encourages individual study of the principles of physics. Another of Rome Free Academy’s courses, health, deals with hygiene. Basic health concerns the human body and its care, while advanced, with a prerequi- site of basic or biology, concentrates on psychology and mental health. The last of our courses, earth science rounds out a program which has a value for each of R.F.A.’s students. Disecting helps the biology student to discover the complexities of a worm R.

MOSELLE Junior Class Adviser “ LUFTHANSA Natures benevolence — the key to West Germany’s resources. Bonjour! This familiar greeting welcomes us into the foreign language department. Beginning with French, and realizing the importance of having students learn French grammar, correct pronunciation and enunciation, the French department set up a laboratory. However, the lab is now being used by all foreign language classes. A few paces south brings us to the land of the bull- fighters. Spanish is another romance language widely used throughout the world. Here again, enunciation and pronunciation are stressed and the Spanish students this year are fortunate to have Mario Froiz-Mora to give them a glimpse of teen-age life in Spain. Crossing the Elbe River into the land of Frauleins and Herrs, picturesque villages and gutteral dialects, we find MRS. H. VOISEY LILO CL To help ease world tensions apply the language tools above a completely different background to learn along with the basic aims of the German department, grammar and pronunciation. The land of Caesar and the Roman Empire lives again for us through the Latin courses offered, giving the stu- dent at the same time an insight into the derivation of the English language. On to the East and the former land of Czars! For the first time in the history of the school, Russian is offered, which is one more example of the advancing progress in language education. In this course students learn basic dialogues, the Russian alphabet and numbers, and many Russian dances. M. M. AUSTIN Latin Club L. P. MILANO G. F. SECKNER Russian Club R.

GILLIS Calculating Although mathematics is not required in a student's curriculum at Rome Free Academy, Sophomores, Juniors, and Seniors are offered three excellent programs from which to make a selection. A college preparatory course, geared to the advanced students planning a scientific career, involves tenth year math, eleventh year math made up of trigonometry and intermediate algebra, and twelfth year math composed of advanced algebra and solid geometry. Parallel to this course is the college entrance curriculum designed for the student who desires a good basic mathe- matical background. This consists of tenth year math, intermediate algebra and a mixed course of trigonome- F, A. DORSINO Tomorrow's Dimensions try, advanced algebra, and solid geometry. The third part, classified under the Commercial De- partment, consists of business and commercial mathematics. Geometry teaches the reasoning of indirect proofs and complete proofs, the never- ceasing meanings of an octagon, parallelogram and rhombus, and the confusing, but worthwhile, relationship of delta y over delta x. Eleventh year math, combines intermediate al- gebra and trigonometry. Logarithms, parabolas, and equations for arithmetric and geometric pro- gressions are just a few of the units frustrating the students. Trig terms such as cosine, sine, and cotangent are slowly, but surely understood. Twelfth year math enables the students to understand the principles behind the formulas, identities, and equations used. MRS. N. DOUGLAS A. H. PEARSALL D. A, BURAK Bookstore Manager - A. P. ZAZZARA G. R. HAUNFELNER H. TEMPLE MRS. O. PALOMBI A Taste of the The commercial course at Rome Free Academy can be pursued for pro- fessional or personal gain. For those students hoping to make a career among shorthand pads, ledgers, and |.B.M. machines, the place to start is with a commercial course. The secretarial course begins with Shorthand |, Typewriting |, and busi- ness arithmetic. The eleventh year work becomes more difficult with Short- hand II, Typewriting II, and transcription. Senior year is devoted to putting learning to use in secretarial and office practice courses. Courses offered to those hoping to enter the administrative end of the business world follow the same basic curriculum, substituting Bookkeeping | and II for shorthand. The practical side of the financial world is given to the twelfth year student through courses in sales and business law. The diversification of the business curriculum has enabled many students to secure worthwhile jobs. MRS. S. ROSSI “asdtikl; asdfjkl; asdfjkl;” MRS. B. HICKEY J. E. NASSIMOS F. W.

No wonder so many students enroll in driver education courses. “Driver Ed,” which began here in 1949, is a one semester course. Traffic problems, basic skills, driving philosophy, and the twenty points are taught by Mr. Rapke, Mr. Manwaring, and Mr. Wynne. Instruction is given in the classroom, drivo-trainer, and car, where the teachers’ calm nerves and cool tempers are a virtue. Students who pass receive a better understand- ing of the world in which we drive. Mechanical Drawing For those pupils who wish a J. B. BESENFELDER manual outlet for expressing e their own ideas, the Drawing De- = — -¥ partment affords an opportunity , not to be overlooked. Students . learn the importance of accuracy and precision in their scale draw- ings of machine parts, architec- tural plans, and electrical lay- outs. The purpose of this course is not necessarily to teach draw- ing as a profession, but rather to instill in students an apprecia- tion for the creation of commer- cial products and basic skills of following instructions.

Training Future Engineers Keeping pace with the missile age, Rome Free Academy offers Electronic Technology to the interested and qualified student. This strenuous three year course requires each student to complete, not only the curriculum of the State Regents De- partment, but also the requirements of the technical syllabus. The first year Tech student takes Technical Drawing and Technical Electricity. The topic, “Basic Direct and Alternating Current,” is of the greatest importance. The second year’s topic is “Basic Electronics” and deals with the study of such devices as high vacuum tubes, recti- fiers, and amplifiers. The topic covered in the Senior year is “Advanced Elec- tronics” and includes such areas of study as transmission of radio waves, radio receivers, and AM-FM transmitters. This course, which unfortunately many students don’t realize exists, is vitally important, molding the future scientists of our generation to whom we point with pride. Mee 0 el, A knowledge of art broadens our way of thinking and helps us to live a richer, more meaningful life. The beautiful works of nature, which many of us fail to notice or appreciate, become real and shed a new light of beauty into our lives through art study. R.F.A. offers an art program divided into two parts — fine arts and crafts. In fine arts curriculum, Mrs. Hubbell teaches students design, drawing and painting. Our ceramics and jewelry depart- ment can accredit the success of its students to the instruction of Miss Bellamy. Mrs. Hubbell is also responsible for the prom decorations, and L. BELLAMY Miss Bellamy assists with the scenery for the Senior Play. Many are gifted with, or acquire a talent to pro- duce music. At Rome Free Academy, Mr. Moonan, Mr. Wise, and Mr. Mathers stimulate musical interest and develop young talent. Mr. Moonan does this through his harmony and music appreciation classes. The band, led by Mr. Wise, presents a variety of halftime shows at football games. Last year our band received an A-6, the highest possible rating. The orchestra, conducted by Mr. Mathers, has en- tertained the student body with several inspirational programs. W. MATHERS W. MOONAN Orchestra Choirs A. JOHNSON M. THOMAS R. M.

All girls are encouraged to participate in class activities and are encouraged to sign up for intramu- ral activities after school. Field hockey, softball, ten- nis, basketball, volleyball, ping pong, and track com- pile the list of intramural sports. From these sports, a few girls are selected to represent RFA in interscho- lastic meets. Poised, well-groomed, healthy young ladies is the goal of this department.

The well-rounded sports program attempts to encom- pass all students interested in after school activities by offering a wide variety of intramural sports. Varsity sports are considered the “honor-system” of the athletic pro- gram because the boys participating in them have been carefully selected, and have toiled and sweated many M. L.

Special classes for girls include gracious living (teaching charm and poise), clothing classes (serving and good grooming), home nursing (care of home patients), child care (understanding children), and house furnishing (interior decorating). Library The library is the hub of all school activity. Behind the glass windows, the librarians utilize their profes- sional training, classifying, preparing new books for the shelves, and aid- ing students engrossed in research. A first-aid station, a haven for classes and teachers, locked out, frozen out, and flooded out, and the postgraduates’ “home away from home,” are the services of the li- brary. On days when coins are dropped, when we play move the student, and when strange questions are heard, we know the librarians’ best asset is their sense of humor. B. Volpe, S. Malorzo, K. Ferucci, C.

The staff also serves the Colgate Seminar, Gymleaders, Block “R” Club, and team banquets.

ACTIVITIES Aiding in the development of the students of Rome Free Academy is the activity program, a major part of student life. This program offers twenty- four clubs, related to the curriculum, each one under the guidance of a teacher. These activities teach students to appreciate unity of endeavor and democratic procedure, values necessary for a rewarding future to which. . . We Point with Pride Student Association ath Joan Gvaspoari Sue Luizzi President Vice President The Student Association, nearly 1700 strong, is under the leadership of President Joan Guaspari, Vice-President Sue Luizzi, and Sec- retary Fran Comis. It is the duty of this Associ- ation to conduct various extra-curricular activi- ties and to co-ordinate the activities of the Sophomore, Junior, and Senior classes. This year the governing body conducted the Sopho- more elections, the annual clean-up drive, and a Thanksgiving Drive which raised the largest amount in school history. The student body also responded cooperatively to the March of Dimes Drive conducted by the Association and to an extensive Foreign Exchange Student Program. With the enthusiastic support of the student body, the Student Association has enjoyed a Fran Comis successful year. Secretary Cabinet members in conference: ROW 1: S. Lu V Guaspari, F.

After a week of such schooling, the staff diligently began working on their sections. Many an hour after school and on Saturdays was spent finishing up the pictures and copy, trying earnestly to make each deadline. With the last page sent in, the staff breathed a sigh — more in accomplishment than of relief. Anxiously they awaited the arrival of the finished yearbooks and _ student reception.

Red Cross Council This year as always, our Red Cross Council has put forth its usual effort to set into motion a full schedule of old and new activities. The year began with the Red Cross Drive, which attained the highest number of 100% homerooms on record. Then a candy sale was held for a week to raise money for Christmas presents for the children at the county hospital. A Red Cross Chest was sent to a needy organization overseas and last year’s scrapbook was sent to two schools in exchange for theirs. Mr. Grapensteter and Mr. Hickey, together with the officers, President Diane Martylewski, Vice President Lu- cinda Lawton, Secretary Ann Marie Paccica, and Treas- urer Charla Davidson, have done an excellent job in making membership in this organization a rewarding experience.

Future Nurses The Future Nurses Club, organized in December 1958, with Mrs. Loretta Wolzmuth as sponsor, con- sisted of 30 girls with its primary objective to ac- quaint students with the nursing profession. Member- ship since that date has increased to over 180, mak- ing Future Nurses one of the largest clubs at R.F.A. In 1959 the club adopted Mrs. Francis Case as a sec- ond sponsor, and initiated the “Candy Stripers” pro- gram at Rome Hospital. The girls work after school and week-ends, at least 2 hours a week, gaining knowledge of bedside care, hospital control, and ward work. During the summer the club volunteered its service to the Polio Clinic and the Mental Clinic. Each year the club takes two field trips to local hos- pitals with the exception of one trip to Albany Med- ical Center. There are two other affairs during the year which the club plans, the annual Christmas party and pro- grams attended by local doctors, wives, and school personnel, followed the next night by the girls’ Christmas caroling. The girls, dressed in uniform and carrying lighted candles are an impressive sight as they walk.

Through the supervision of coordinators Miss Marilyn Thomas, Miss Alberta Johnson, and Miss Elizabeth White, the girls began to prepare for their first project of the year, the water ballet show. After having selected the moon for the central theme, skillful techniques synchro- nized with music developed into routines representing space exploration, adventure, romance, superstition and mythol- ogy. Two performances of “Moonology” were held and were hailed as “tremendous” and “wonderful.” To continue their active program in aquatics, the girls took life saving and water safety courses.

Their outstanding display of sportsmanship and fine play is something we can all be proud of. After a shaky victory on September 21 Pleasant, R.F.A.’s winning streak was halted at 9 games by a tie at New Hartford. The game scheduled for October 6 at New Rochelle was postponed because of rain. R.F.A. kept its undefeated status with a victory over over Mt. rugged Auburn at home the following week. It was a black day at Proctor Stadium on October 20 as an alert Proctor team handed the Black Knights their first loss in two seasons. The following Friday saw Rome invaded by an undefeated Whitesboro squad. In an extremely rough game in which the lead changed hands 3 times, the Warriors went home with a close victory. In the tradi- tional game with U.F.A. on November 2, Rome bowed reluctantly to the highspirited Titans. In the season’s fi- nale, outstanding team play brought Rome close to victory over Watertown, but a nullified Rome touchdown forced a stalemate. Special congratulations to Tom Myslinski, whose ‘out- standing line play won him a first string berth on the Up- State All-Star Team. 134 ck meets a sfone � “f U.F.A. bonfire arouses spirit a | ea i =} Nb. oe | Ni Ist ROW: N.

Coach Lew Bennett's first season as Rome’s varsity basketball coach was certainly a success. The team achieved the finest record ever held by an R.F.A. bas- ketball team. Rome was also the first team in eleven years to go undefeated in Central Oneida League play. Rome scored double wins over Notre Dame, New Hart- ford, U.F.A., Whitesboro, and Proctor to accomplish this. The two blemishes on the regular season record of sixteen wins and two losses came as Watertown and Auburn avenged early season losses to Rome. R.F.A. invaded the North-Country and was stunned 59—51 by Watertown and Auburn really bounced back to clobber the Knights 68—46. An interesting incident of the season was the pro- tested Whitesboro game played on February 15. Cen- tral Oneida League officials ruled a Whitesboro protest valid and nullified Rome’s 50—47 victory. The game was replayed on February 19, and Rome again triumphed, this time 53—42. Rome fans found no lack of thrills and excitement during the season. Several games went into overtime, including the triple overtime in the second Oneida game. Some of the more consistently high scorers were Ed Jackson, Bob Ryan, Lou Janczewski and Gene Clark, while Don Schilling, Ryan, and Janczewski were out- standing rebounders. ROW |: Coach L.

Rome landed atop the Central Oneida League and the western division of the Central New York League in the process. In addition to their fine showing in dual competition, the grapplers fared extremely well in tournament com- petition. Early in January, they placed second against very tough competition at a tournament in Auburn, with Frank Peraino and Larry Plunket emerging as champions. Rome also captured the Central New York Championship at V.V.S. with Larry Plunket, Joe Vescio, Jeff Allen, Frank Peraino, and Tom Myslinski sweeping their respective weight classes. Once again Rome proved its superiority in Section 3 capturing the championships for the second straight year with wins by Tom Myslinski and Frank Peraino, who was voted the outstanding wrestler in this year’s sectional meet.

The archer must work hard to gain the skill she needs to be successful in her sport. She may begin by shooting arrows from only a short dis- tance from the target perhaps twenty feet. As her accuracy increases, she moves farther and farther from the target. Eventually she may work as far as forty feet from the target. In this way she develops both physical and mental accuracy. C.

The Curtain Rises An overflowing crowd was entertained on Novem- ber 16, 1962, at 8:30 P.M. in the Rome Free Academy auditorium when the Class of 1963 presented a comedy in three acts, Turn Back the Clock by Marri- jane and Joseph Hayes. The play, skillfully directed by Mrs. Curtis E. Bates, is built around the universal truth that all generations are more or less alike after all. The play is a gleeful glimpse into those not-so- dead days in which parents and children behaved in almost exactly the same manner as the present day generation do. “I'll carry you Sally of my alley.” “What'll you do to stop it? “11 show what | “Kiss me, Johnnie!” “Well a, sure Evie’ On Our Senior Play “If you’re going to crash a party let’s not sneak around.” Cast Father in Epilogue Prolog Doug Thaler Mother in Epilogue Prolog Claire Denti Evelyn (Evie) Palmer Barb Fullerton Mrs. Anna Palmer Virginia Bungert Sally Palmer Kathy Kinna Irene Isherwood Cindy Lawton Renee Schooley Lynn Martin Phyllis McSorley Doris Harding Barbara (Babs) Bannister Donna Tripp Charles Hill Mike Kunkel Roy Jimenez Joe Guthrie Larry Palmer Dave Crabtree Ollie Bannister Tom Hagerty Slim Bascombe Stanley Silberman Announcer Peter Zawaly Student from Spain- A.F.S. Program For the first time in the history of Rome Free Academy, we are fortunate to have a foreign ex- change student — Mario Antonio Froiz-Mora. He is eighteen years old, and has graduated from Saint Joseph’s High School, a private school run by the Jesuits. During his senior year there, he pursued a mathematics course, and among the subjects he studied in his native land were such demanding ones as European Literature, physics, philosophy, English (sound familiar) and Spanish government. Like most Americans his age, he likes to dance, and his other hobbies include collecting pennants and travel sov- venirs. With regard to his future, he aspires to a five year course of study at a college in Valencia to eventually become an industrial or agriculture en- gineer. As in the case of many visitors to America from kiasig. becthe. Gal thelbonfine: bursts info fathes, foreign shores, Mario has seen many of his ideas of life in the U.S.A., developed from glamorized ver- Enjoying a typical American lunch.

Still he finds the U.S.A., Rome, and Rome Free Academy de- lightful. He says everyone has been kind and ami- cable toward him, but then it is far from difficult to be friendly to such a warm and congenial person, a person so like ourselves in his hatred for racial dis- crimination and his love for American dances. We like Mario, We like the two Cuban boys, José Fernan- dez and Juan Puerto Meras who are now attending school with us. In fact, we of R.F.A. like the whole American Field Service Program, through which ex- change students from the United States and foreign countries have an opportunity to visit, learn in, and appreciate each other’s native lands. It is because of our approval of this idealistic program that we have held a successful fund-raising drive to bring another student here. We can only hope that the youth who visits us next year can approach the caliber of Mario Froiz-Mora. J. Guaspari, K. Clarke, M. Vaz, Mario, and H. Hirano initiate A.F.S. Drive. Mario’s family — Mario Froiz, José Mary, Maria Mora Froiz. Mario poses with his Mother and his brother. Mario, José, and Juan discuss recent developments in Cuba. Carla Cecilia, an eager student, has contributed much to the fame of R.F.A. by becoming one of the three Merit Scholarship finalists. In her spare time, she enjoys knitting, reading, and swimming. Carla, who is planning to attend college this fall, will major in either math or science. She was placed in the honors division of the Westinghouse Science Talent Search, won the Betty Crocker Homemaker of the Year award, and took district and state honors in French. Carla’s quiet and responsible manner, in addition to her scholastic ability, will certainly enable her to move toward the forefront of the future. Outstanding Students Bring Don Sobik, another one of our outstanding seniors, is equipped with great scholastic ability, and an even greater sense of humor. With these traits he should do well next year at Colgate where he will major in eco- nomics to become a stock broker. Don was one of the Merit Scholarship finalists who won recognition for him- self and for R.F.A. His interests include jazz and basket- ball. Roy Jimenez has given R.F.A. public recognition in becoming one of three Merit Scholarship finalists. At Union College, Roy plans to major in physics, although he is still undecided about his future. Roy enjoys water skiing, swimming, reading, and the piano. In his spare time he listens to Ray Charles records. Because of Roy’s easy going manner and sense of humor, he has won many friends, all of whom wish him good luck in his chosen career. arc ored by the Daughters and she certainly deserves Teachers Colle State sports, reading, and singing as an active member of her church’s Fell De-O-Wain s capable editor-in-ct the D.A.R. award, Carol is Youth Leaders!

Donna Tripp, one of the top Seniors in scholastic ability, has proven to be capable and reliable in all that she attempts. Next year Donna plans to go to Wells for a liberal arts course, majoring in English. If she hopes to make her place as an outstanding English teacher, she has made an excellent beginning. Donna won the National Council of Teachers of English award which recommends her for a scholarship. The hobbies that Donna enjoys most are reading, knitting, sewing, painting, French, golf and swimming. Scholastically and Athletically Pretty, peppy Debbie Castle was our class selection for the Junior Prom queen. Debbie and her escort reigned over 1962’s prom, Carousel, for an enchanted evening. In her free time, Debbie enjoys cooking and working around the house. Her hobbies include read- ing and swimming. In her Junior year, Debbie’s lively smile and enthusiasm contributed to her popularity as a cheerleader. She will attend Oswego State College; her ambition is to be an elementary French teacher. Debbie’s understanding manner and her fondness for children will be an asset in her teaching career. In easy-going Mike Kunkel, versatile star of the Mer- men, the class of ‘63 has an outstanding athlete of whom we can all be proud. He has lettered in swim- ming for four years, and his achievements have in- cluded the New York State Secondary School Diving Championship for 1962. Last year he was one of twenty high school divers in the nation to be named to the All American Swimming Team. In Mike’s Sopho- more and Junior year, he received the Section Ill Div- ing Championship. Mike plans to attend college this fall and will major in either math or science. R.F.A. Scores High Every school has its “musclemen’” and Rome Free Academy is no exception with Tom Myslinski who has brought athletic fame to his school. An invincible wres- tler, eager weight lifter, and fearsome football player, Tom’s ambition is to be a physical education teacher. He is going to Bordentown Military Academy this fall, and after a year he hopes to transfer to Notre Dame . He was named a member of the 1962 Central Oneida League All Star Football Team, and he has been honored by the local B’nai B’rith as the most im- proved football player of the year. Tom’s persistence combined with his athletic ability will assure him of success and happiness.
