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.

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
