oly 7] DE-O -WAIN: STA 1965 YEARBOOK OF ROME FREE ACADEMY ROME, NEW YORK ADMINISTRATION and CURRICULUM STUDENT BODY STUDENT LIFE ACTIVITIES SPORTS DIRECTORY DICATION The class of 1965 dedicates this yearbook to Mrs. Margaret Hubbell in apprecia- tion of her untiring efforts in not only assisting the student body and faculty whenever her services were sought, but also in creating among us an awareness of school spirit. Those who have worked with Mrs. Hubbell on such momentous tasks as the creation and presentation of the Junior Prom decorations have quickly realized that she will devote not only a great deal of time and labor, but also a vast knowledge and masterful talent in aiding the student body on such projects. Mrs. Hubbell has served as a confidant and counselor, and her interest in the students as individuals has earned her the admiration and respect of all who have known her. We, the class of 1965, will remember Mrs. Hubbell as the symbol of the now, for her conscientious service and friendship. RIGHT: The De-o-wain-sta camera catches Mrs. Hubbell i the midst of a hectic day. When we pass down the aisle at graduation, our childhood is ended. What we did, what we thought, and what we saw in these last years of our youth will be fond memories someday. This year’s De-O- Wain-Sta attempts to capture and preserve the mood of the year by recording the people, places, and events that will distinguish it from all others. We have chosen a handless clock to symbolize the book; and an excerpt from Aiken’s ‘‘Prelude 28 ' to express the mood of these transitory years. ee — a 4. ADMINISTRATION 7 ) AND rr CURRICULUM OUR LEADERSHIP Lyndon H. Strough Superintendent of the Rome Public School System For two decades, Lyndon H. Strough, Superin- tendent of the Rome Public School System has been outstanding in his leadership of Rome's educational program. The ever-improving excellence ot the educa- tion available to students in our schools reflects on his capable administrative abilities. New textbooks, new, more advanced courses, and more qualified teachers point up the constant planning that has made the present standards of our schools as high as they are. Mr. Strough serves the students of Rome with dedication and diligence that cannot be measured by the quantity of students who now have educational backgrounds of marked quality. Assisting our Super- intendent is the Board of Education, an elected group of officials, who help him plan, supervise, and otherwise administer our educational program. Dr. Frederick K. Reid leads the staff of eight other mem- bers: Robert C. Bidwell, Russ P. Destito, Miss E. Louise Kingsley, George Waters, Nicholas J. Bush, Donald W. Fulton, C. Eugene Roe, and John R. Woods. Rome can be proud of the quality of leadership it is receiving now. Board members: J. R. Woods, E. C. Roe, N. J. Bush, R. P. Destito, Dr. F. K Reid, R. C. Bidwell, E. L. Kingsley, G. B. Waters, absent: D. W. Fulton. GUIDING OUR GROWTH The administrative leadership of Rome Free Academy has been marked by a record of dedication and service to the student body. Few realize the overwhelming responsibility they assume as leaders of over twenty-two hundred students. Carl S. Paige, principal of RFA, must handle the many problems which beset the school each day. His duties include supervising the faculty and students, planning the master schedule of teachers’ courses and room assignments, co-ordinating extra-curricular activities, updating old courses of study and instigating new ones, writing letters of recommendation, handling major disciplinary problems, and helping to choose students for various special programs. While he is aided by many other persons in these tasks, the final responsibility is his alone. One of those who aid Mr. Paige is Mrs. Helen Wolf, an assistant principal and administrator of discipline. Mrs. Wolf handles the problems of girls at RFA. Whether these problems concern discipline, family, or any other factor that could affect success at school, she treats them with same patience and understanding which has characterized her stay at RFA. Also helping Mr. Paige is Mr. M yron Whittemore, who has served Rome Free Academy since 1919. In his job as assistant principal, he aids in all phases of school administration, and in his job as admin- istrator of discipline, he counsels the boys of RFA, applying his many years of guidance experience. Myron J. Whittemore Assistant Principal Carl S. Paige Principal Helen A. Wolf Assistant Principal Helen Arthur Librarian Elton Auchmoody Industrial Arts James Bacher History Christine Bart English THROUGH THE CASTLE The knowledge that men have gathered through the years forms a castle, the structure of all meanings, understandings, beliefs, values. ideals, appreciations, institutions, and skills which belong to the human race. Everyone lives his intellectual life in this building, which has grown to fantastic dimensions, a castle with many rooms, hall ways, doorways, windows, alcoves, closets, watchtowers and dungeons. Some try to explore the castle of knowledge, opening new doors, add ing new rooms, and building new wings and watchtowers. Others remodel internally, installing new facilities within an old framework, rearranging conceptual furniture, and modernizing ideological plumb- ing and heating systems. Still others sit in one room or live all their lives in a closet or dungeon of ignorance and prejudice, completely unaware of the total structure. Education provides the key by which man opens the doors and windows of his cultural castle and keeps them open. Teachers are vital to education; they lead the student through his first doorways and show him new rooms, hallways, and windows. They encourage him to explore on his own, to stretch his mind and to prepare for a lifetime of discovery. They show him how a closed mind can keep him in an intellectual dungeon, doomed never to see the fascinating castle that awaits the seeker of knowledge. The faculty of RFA has aided the class of 1965 on its fi rst adventures in the realm of knowl- edge, and for this we salute them. If a student should lose his way in the vastness of the castle, our skilled, experienced guidance coun- selors can help him back onto his path. The custodians of knowl- edge in this great structure are the librarians. Choosing, classifying, and caring for books of all fields, they help to keep our knowledge in a form readily available to students. Truly they, and the rest of our faculty, have helped us through the castle of knowledge during the time that has come and gone.

The record enrollment at Rome Free Academy has kept our custodi- an staff on duty twenty-four hours a day. The staff under the direction of Oscar Beer, keeps the school both safe and clean. With lunch our school’s most popular course, the cafeteria work- ers have a busy day. Besides serv- ing three lunch periods, the staff also prepares the meals of Colgate Seminar, French Club, Block “R”’ Club, gymleaders, and the varsity football team. m@NTERPRISING Mr. Foster smilingly prepares to bomb his class with a test. BUSINESSMEN Business is the backbone of capitalism and an essental part of our American civilization. Since the majority of employed in- dividuals are involved in commercial enterprises of some sort, adequate knowledge of business is a desirable asset. At Rome Free Academy the basics of Typing I, Shorthand |, and Business Arithmetic are offered. The more advanced stu- dents have at their disposal the skills embodied in Shorthand II, Typing Il, and Transcription. The student's ability in practical office work is tested with sales, business management, busi- ness law and bookkeeping. For the future college student, busi- ness subjects are also beneficial for they enable him to do better and more efficient work. As a result of the training received by our students at the hands of the expert educators of our Commercial Department, they will be more adequately prepared to face the challenges of today’s business world. D. Glavin diligently practices her shorthand. “Now is the time foj allg ood men. . .”’ MATHEMATICS . . . EVER ADVANCIINE: As is already well known, every student who at- tends Rome Free Academy is assured of a math course suited to his own individual tastes. Such fine courses as 10th and 11th year math, algebra, trigonometry, and Math 12 are available for study. This year, the department offers another new and more advanced math for the aspiring senior. In- cluded in this course are solid, co-ordinate, and ana- lytic geometry, 2nd and 3rd dimensions, and in- tegral calculus. Any student who successfully con- cludes Math 12-A will be welcome in 12-C. Though the courses may be tough and good marks not easy to come by, we must admit that our praise for these instructors can never begin to equal their untiring efforts for us. “y=-2x, stupid!” Mr. Pearsall demonstrates the theory of conic sections. Mr. Papa pops a quiz. Mr. G.’s English Lit. class takes a break for some Red Cross candy “December 12th, | better start my term Paper,” quoth J. Bright. ENGLISH The foundation of any culture is its language; our society, with its emphasis on clear, articu- late communication, makes the English pro- gram doubly important. In RFA the curriculum “hath enough for any man, with its range of non-regents, regents, and scholarship courses, each graded for a certain year. Every year builds upon the year before it: to the basic sophomore curriculum of short sto- ries, poetry, and plays is added the more ad- vanced junior work. Also, the ‘“‘in-between class ’ has the dubious joy of facing the regents at the end of their year. Then, as seniors, they crown their work with the study of literature, speech or writing. English is not all dull toil; the department's tape recorders, record players, projectors, mov- ies, lectures, and special programs help make the study of our language an interestingly excit- ing opportunity. In mastering English, the stu- dents of RFA learn the effective communication that uniquely equips them for adulthood. saa Te PIERIAN SPRING’”’ “I've decided to change four score and seven to eighty seven. ’ P.

WORLDS The languages offered at RFA provide a comprehensive program which makes available a variety of tongues to suit the taste of every student. Russian is a language of monumental importance in the modern world. It is a language necessary not only for diplomats and statesmen, but for scientists and industrial leaders. Under the guidance of Mr. Seckner, Russian is provided on a two year basis designed to establish a firm foundation for its later study. French, the language of diplomacy, is enthusiastically pursued by enough students to make it RFA’s most popular foreign language. The four-year program is arranged to give each student fluency in reading, writing, and speaking the language. Spanish adds much to our understanding of our South-American neighbors, and it is through the fine quality of Spanish taught in this course that one of our foreign students, Ted Gorton, was awarded the opportunity to study in Argentina. Another language in which many scientific and trade journals are printed is German, a near necessity for any college-bound student. Though not a modern language, Latin provides a sound knowledge of sentence structure applicable to any language. As the root of 50% of our English words, it forms a basis for a powerful vocabulary and in- creases a student’s understanding of modern English. Our modern electronic classrooms, two of which were added this year, have greatly facilitated the study of the modern languages. The zeal of our instructors such as Miss Clark, Mrs. Voisey, Miss Dehimer., Mr. Seckner, Mr. Milano, Mr. Schnackenburgh, contribute greatly to the understanding of each language, its culture, and its people. Two students cozily study their German. Homer must be turning over in his grave. SCIENCE ... AN INDIVIDUAL CHALLENG In biology lab students explore the microscopic world. Here we see S.

Davidson experiments with Tesla coil The job of science teacher is to inspire and stimulate the interests of his students as well as to teach. Rome Free Academy is fortunate in being able to offer a variety of science courses. As years progress, the courses have become more advanced to meet the needs of the new aerospace world. This year, physics, chemistry, and first year biology have been supplemented by more advanced work. In addition to the required biology course, classes in physiology and genetics have been formed for interested students. Without a doubt our science department is fulfilling its purpose in every way possible. B. Hofstead, R. Migliori, and P. DeProspero work a problem for Mr. eo 2 Ru Rh Pd Ag Cd In Sn Sb ‘si Y Zr Nb Mo | Hi To w Re Os Ie Pt Au Ti Pb Bi t. . th! i ’ 4 | wonder what J. Cecilia is really doing behind that book. | say! Is that really J. Cecilia? That blur in front of Mr. Ball's face is not due to pho- tography.

TO ANTICIPATE “This’ll be a doosey,’’ Mr. Woodard to Mr. Kan. = A knowledge of the past enhances one’s own experi- ence and furthers his ability to evaluate present situa- tions. History does not end; it is ever continuing and re- peating itself. Therefore, our history department at- tempts to instill in its students a knowledge of the past and a curiosity about the future. World history traces man's progress from the time of serfdom to the Atomic Age: the highlights of the course include the Renaissance, the French Revolution, and the Industrial Revolution. The study of World Wars | and Il, and the United Nations is pre-eminent later in the year. American history aids in the development of genuine appreciation of our heritage. This course begins by tell- ing of the discovery of America, and continues onto the conflicts, compromises, and major decisions which have shaped her history. Mr. Zyla explains a point of history to one of his Economics is a vital phase of American life today. classes. Our economics department, composed of Mr. Ball and Mr. Woods, provides an excellent insight into problems confronting us. Today's history students are constantly exploring the events of yesterday to help them anticipate the prob- lems of the future. Mr. Woods explains to a history class how a bill becomes a law. .

Mr. Moonan_ directs the A Cappella choir preparatory to their TV appearance. Music plays an important role in the lives of every student today. Headed by Mr. Moonan, Mr. Wise, and Mr. Mathers, RFA’s Music De- partment offers a solid musical background to pupils. Throughout the year, the depart- ment provides our school with many diverse programs. In the fall, our football half-time show contains the Rome Free Academy marching Practice makes perfect, as G. Alder well knows. band complete with majorettes. Christmas brings us programs by the orchestra and choirs. The annual spring band concert is at- tended by RFA students and friends. Besides developing talent, classes are also available for developing appreciation. Through Mr. Moonan, students can obtain courses in har- mony and music appreciation. EXPRESSION OF TALENT | Our Rome Free Academy art department performs a valuable service by exhibiting throughout the school a very fine and colorful sampling of the talent of our stu- dent body. The art department is divided into two sec- tions: the fine arts, headed by Mrs. Hubbell, which in- clude such courses as design, drawing, and painting; and the crafts, instructed by Miss Bellamy, who offers courses in ceramics and jewelry. The efforts of the art department, moreover, extend beyond regular school classes. Under the direction of Mrs. Hubbell, the decoration committee of our Junior Prom has successfully transformed the gym into a mystic paradise. Miss Bellamy has co-ordinated the efforts of our senior play scenery committee and is responsible for the fine setting of our senior play. Both Mrs. Hubbell and Miss Bellamy have unselfishly dedicated their efforts and talents to create our most memorable Senior Ball. This spring our art department contributed to a city- wide exhibition of our art students’ talents. This was a new accomplishment in Rome Free Academy's history and served to show that through the efforts of our art department, R.F.A. students may express their artistic talents.

PHYSICAL FITNESS Rome Free Academy’s women physical education staff takes a brief glance backwards and heaves a sigh of relief at being able to resume its normal program this year. The 1963-64 athletic program got off to a late start due to the incompleted construction of the new study halls, but this year’s program made an impressive Start early in September. Not only have all previous sports been resumed, but new additions have been made. A circuit training program of exercises designed to prepare girls for physical fitness tests in the Spring was initiated, along with an interscholastic swimming team. An equally important goal of this program is that of developing adolescent bodies and of teaching girls to work together in the light of good sportsmanship. Gym slippers and discarded sneaks mark the waiting to perform on the tramp. The men’s physical education department at RFA has one of the most diversified programs in the area. Fine athletes have al- ways brought fans to our football, basketball, swimming, wres- tling, hockey, tennis, gymnastics, track, cross-country, bowling, baseball. and golf teams, and this year is no exception. Aside from these varsity sports, RFA offers an extensive intramural program which gives a greater number of boys the opportunity to participate. The initial part of building strong healthy bodies, however, is the gym class in which every boy participates twice a week. A. Elphick performs on parallel bars. 1 | mi ih Th | Wl ae aA ' he } ; , _— j The coveted ‘‘blue card” is the reward of one semester of ‘aii ili driver education. Those participating in this course are taught the fundamentals of driving safely by means of class- 4 i room study, ‘‘drivotrainer’’ practice, and experience on : the open road. Under the leadership of Mr. Manwaring, Mr. Rapke, and Mr. Wynne, students obtain the valuable infor- _ = mation and procedure otherwise obtainable only by years of actual driving. Since 1949 this course has aided many pu- pils to obtain their licenses and the comprehensive skills needed for the heavy traffic of today. eee Students are trained in real-life situa- tions in the Drivo-Trainers. AN D GOO D COO KS D. DeFazio awaits the results of the great ex- periment. Preparing for tomorrow, home economics students learn skills that help them today. Under the guidance of Miss Clark, Mrs. Graves, and Mrs. White, they can obtain a back- ground for practical application of homemaking tasks. Such fundamentals of home management as time and labor management, nutrition, food preparation and serving are offered. Elective courses for girls include classes in proper man- ner of dress, gracious living, child care, home nursing, and home furnishing. These courses instill the good habits of grooming oneself properly and attractively, teach them poise and charm, give them helpful hints as to child care, broadens their knowledge of nursing techniques, and guide them in the fundamentals of interior design and decoration. Boys can attend a special course that gives them basic knowledge in etiquette, nutrition, grooming, first aid, and home furnishing. K. Graham is stuck with wash- ing the dishes. FUTURE ARCHITECTS The drawing department at Rome Free Academy affords a manual outlet for individual expression in the field of me- chanical drawing. This course stresses the importance of accuracy in the scale drawing of machine parts, architectural plans, and electrical layouts. The purpose of this course is to instill in students an apprecia- tion for the creation of commer- cial products and to develop a high degree of manual dexterity. i.

The second year deals with electronic theory; basic electronic circuits, and laboratory construction. Advanced electronics is covered in the third year. This topic covers the study of transmitters, radio receivers, and the trans- mission of radio waves. Completion of the entire course entails meeting the require- ments not only of the curriculum of the State Regents Depart- ment but also the requisites of the technical syllabus. 40 SKILLED CRAFTSMEN The industrial-minded student is offered quite a di- versified choice at Rome Free Academy. In the machine shop students are instructed in the production of tools. Typesetting and press-work are among the skills taught in the printing shop. A course in auto machanics provides opportunity to learn the intricacies of the automobile. Students in woodworking shop learn advanced processes of furniture construction. Whether taking shop courses to be qualified for a profes- sion or simply to be prepared for problems that arise in the home, students can gain the instruction they desire. D.

Always the now . . . a meaningful phrase requir- ing some deep thought. What exactly do we mean when we write the ‘‘now’'? In the autumn of 1962, we, the proud class of '65, entered Rome Free Aca- demy with the distinction of being the largest class ever to pass through its doors. The ‘‘now”’ for us, as sophomores, was new faces, new experiences, and new respons bilities. Starting off the successful year with class elections, we chose as our leaders Doug Magee, and Linda Co president; Dorothy Oppito, secretary; lier, treasurer. Under their able guid- ance, we proceeded with happy plans for our class dance . “Swing into Spring,’ and promoted Christmas spirit in the halls by arranging colorful decorations. The “‘now’’ took over a new role as we realized that we were one year older and wiser. As juniors, we were confronted with new responsibilities. We had, however, a new sense of maturity and experi- ence to meet them. After electing Russell Marriott as president, Allan Lake as vice-president, Dorothy Oppito as secretary, and Linda Collier as treasurer, we surged ahead to the serious undertakings of our second year: college conferences, P.S.A.T., Honor Society, and college boards. Then too, were the events that added happiness and remembrance to our ‘‘now’’ — the selection of our senior rings and the Junior Prom entitled ‘‘Tropical Paradise.”’ The year we all had long awaited finally arrived. We, as seniors, joined our officers — °President Doug Becker, Vice-president Allan Bucknell, Secre- tary Carol Popp, and Treasurer Dave Guaspari — in making our last year at Rome Free Academy an unforgettable one. The ‘‘now’’ seemed to give us an encouraging wink as it guided us through an unde- feated football season, the state scholarship exami- nation, college applications, our senior play — ‘‘More Than Meets The Eye, ’ and our Senior Ban- quet. Finally, the ‘‘now’’ assumed the role of the happiness and sadness of graduation and the beau- tiful simplicity of our senior ball. How those precious thee years at Rome Free Aca- demy seemed to fly! Only when we realize that they are a part of the past, do we want to relive them. In our busy lives, the ‘‘now’’ is what most of us think about, but may all our yesterdays be remembered and may all our tomorrows be ‘‘remembered yes- terdays.”’ ROCCO BALZANO CHRISTINE BANKS ROSE MARY BAPTISTI DANNA BARBER WHILE LEARNING ARLENE BARRY DAVID BARLALETTE ED BARTO RICHARD BARTO KAREN BARTON JOSEPH BAISILE JAMES BATES WAYNE BATES SUZANNE BATHKE THOMAS BAUER BRIAN BAUMAN ———€ JO ANN BAUMAN RODERICK BAYLESS MIMI BAYNES HOWARD BEAL DOUGLAS BECKER BONNIE BECKWITH Movie star, A.

We elected Bill Arthur as President, Bill Drexler as Vice-President, Pam Spriggs as Secretary, and Sue Dair as Treasurer for the year. Our trust in them was well rewarded as shown in the many successful projects through which they led us. Our officers, along with many others, helped make the Junior Prom and ‘Wipe-Out,”’ our Class-sponsored dance, two glowing successes. In the autumn of the year we took part in the Thanksgiving Food Drive, and finished a close second. In preparation for college, we took the P.S.A.T. tests, the S.A.T. (College Board) ex- ams, and the Merit Scholarship Exam, all of which proved to be not quite as difficult nor as easy as we expected. In May we received our class rings which added to that increasingly evident sense of ma- turity which we acquired during the year. Certainly we can look ahead to our senior year with every confidence that it will be a most profitable one.

After the first few confusing weeks, we got into the spirit of things with the sopho- more class elections. President, Tom Boc; Vice- President, Nick Pendorf; Secretary, Alicia Cin- granelli; and Treasurer, Dave Cingranelli won the support of our class through a whirl-wind campaign conducted in the early part of the year. Our insuppressable enthusiasm showed through the charming Santas and gala Christ- mas trees that we placed around the school at Yuletide. In the spring we held our second big event of the year, the Sophomore Hop. This year’s Hop proved to be one of the most colorful and inter- esting dances of the year. As we review our first hectic year at Rome Free Academy, we sincerely hope next year will prove to be just as eventful and rewarding.

The fact that consciencious application of na- tive intelligence has its just rewards is proven in the results attained by Doug. This feat is no less as- founding when one considers the fact that 10% of the graduating class of 750 plus students were on the honor roll, all competing for top honors. The variety of extracurricular activities participated in points up the versatility of Doug, and foreshadows a well-rounded and successful life ahead. SALUTATORIAN To be Salutatorian of the 1964-65 Senior Class is the other top honor in the academic competition at Rome Free Academy. June Krulinski, with a four- year average of 96.14, has laid claim to this pre- cious title. Prodigious in brainpower and prosper- ous in personality, June stands as a paragon for her fellow students. The student body will long re- member her industrious efforts in the many extra- curricular activities which are always necessary for a healthy image. HONOR SOCIETY In the spring a junior’s mind turns to thoughts of Honor Society as he real- izes that the annual assembly, an event that can prove more nerve-wracking than the Academy Awards, is not far off. The novitiates, picked from five percent of the junior class and fifteen percent of the senior class, are ushered into the august society with all due cer- emony and receive official membership certificates from Mr. Paige. The class of '65 had twenty-four of its members accepted as juniors. This group, under the direction of Mr. Pelkey, concen- trates on service for the school and per- forms initiation services for the next year. BOTTOM ROW: R. Cania, M. Cesari, B. Tyler, ROW 2: S.

Returns of the eight-hour exams, taken in fall of the se- nior year, came in February, occasioning many nervous moments for the seniors awaiting those important letters. The Regents exams try to cover many areas of study, but do not re- quire that the student retain facts and figures as in a usual test. The emphasis is on selected reading passages that require the student to have a command of Eng lish and reading skills. Besides giving regular scholarships to accred- ited colleges in New York State, the Regents Board offers ones for basic professional educa- tion in nursing. Special scholarships are award- ed to children of deceased or disabled mem- bers of the Armed Forces. An RFA student, Christopher McAdams, won one of these.

These awards are based on scores made on the tests given by the National Merit Corporation in the spring of the junior year. Covering the areas of English, science, history, and mathematics, the tests give a comprehensive evaluation of a student's knowledge. The Class of '65 is proud to recognize so many outstanding seniors. M. Brown, D. Schue, L. Gridley, $. Glaviano, D. Guaspari, J. Andrews, A. Lake. The enthusiastic welcome given Steve Waters on his re- turn from Australia clearly shows the growing spirit of the American Field Service chapter at RFA. The Club, under the su- pervision of Miss Clarke, has dual purposes; first, to raise money and provide a home for foreign students coming here, and secondly, to select Rome students to apply on the Ameri- cans Abroad program. Last year two members of the Class of '65, Steve Waters and Ted Gorton, were selected to go abroad. We wish this year's ap- plicants the same luck. M. L. Lopes, Miss Clarke, and S. Fallik dis- cuss plans for the upcoming AFS weekend. Hard at work again for De-O-Wain-Sta .. . The whirlwind of activity that is Doug Becker can only be regarded with awe. Start- ing here as a junior, he proceeded to capture the senior class presidency, a Syracuse Con- ference scholarship, and a Semi-Final Merit score, in addition to being voted president of the New England Junior Achievement Confer- ence. This fall he plans to attend Colgate University, where we are sure he will succeed as he did in R.F.A. Dorothy Oppito, this year’s DAR Award recipient, has exhibited during her years at R.F.A. the qualities of leadership and citi zenship. She has served as secretary of her Sophomore and Junior classes, president and vice-president of Future Nurses, and member of Student Council. Participant in Forum and French Club, Dorothy has worked diligently to aid in any way possible by serving as Commencement Usher and committee work- er on the Junior Prom and Senior Ball. We are proud to say that Dorothy is also a mem- ber of De-O-Wain-Sta. The dichotomy of Allen Sanders and Joanne Rudensey, who is responsible for see- ing that all BS! homeroom. Allen, BSI Com- missioner, keeps busy working on Forum, La- tin, and Pep Clubs. A member of Honor Socie- ty and Colgate Seminar, Allen is also a Junior Rotarian. The BSI Press Editor is hard-work- ing Joanne, who is responsible for seeing that all news write-ups are complete, correct, and sent to press. Joanne is in Honor Society and Colegate Seminar. Enhancing R.F.A. scholastically as well as through athletic and extracurricular activi- ties, June Krulinski is secretary of Honor So- ciety, member of Colgate Seminar, and Presi- dent of Library Council. A member of the Aquatics, Gym Leaders, and Latin Clubs, she was selected as a consultant to the City Re- creation Department. When there's anything needed to be done, Debbie Schue, vice-presi- dent of Honor Society and Aquatics Club, president of German Club, and member of Colgate Seminar, is on the spot. A recipient of Commendation, a Syracuse Conference represented R.F.A. this past summer at Em- pire Girls’ State in Elmira. — ae The twinship of Barbara and Marjorie Brown has marked a three-year accumulation of distinguished honors. Both Barbara, a Merit Semi-Finalist, and Marg, member of Honor Society, representative at Sy- racuse Citizenship Conference, and recipient of a Mer- it Letter of Commendation, are members of Colgate Seminar and are recognized as two of THOSE from B.S.I. They are both De-O-Wain-Sta Editors as well as participants of THRUSH. Barb and Marge plan to en- ter George Washington University next year to pursue majors in languages and journalism. Nancy Adolfi, De-O-Wain-Sta’s Editor-in-Chief, pic- tured with her Assistant Editors has participated in Se- nior Play, Pep, FTA, and French Clubs. Maryann Dub- lanica, president of Aquatics Club, participant in the Latin and Gym Leaders Clubs, Dave Guaspari, recip- ient of a Merit Letter, Senior Class Treasurer, Colgate Seminar Chairman, and Honor Society member, and Tom Clark, recipient of a Merit Letter, member of Col- gate Seminar, participant in the Syracuse Citizenship Conference, realize the headaches involved in pre- paring the De-O-Wain-Sta and often confer with the Chief. Leading the student body as president of Student Association is Alan Lake, who has proved his able leadership in government; he was also vice-president of his junior class. His academic honors include a Merit Letter of Commendation, a Syracuse Conference scholarship, and selection for Colgate Semi- nar and Honor Society. The BSI also tapped him for Broadcast. Alan’s benotched hockey stick denotes his Varsity Hockey participa- tion, as well as Varsity Tennis. It is rumored that he does homework on the side. A credit to his school is Doug Magee, vice- president of the Student Association this year. Doug belongs to Honor Society, Colgate Seminar, and Block “‘R” Club. He went to both Boys’ State and Boys’ Nation last sum- mer. Once a week his dulcet tones may be heard over the RFA PA system as he takes his turn along with the other BSI! broadcast- ers. In addition to all this, Doug upholds RFA’s honor in varsity football and on the track and swimming teams. RFA has been proud this year to welcome again an AFS foreign exchange student. Our interna- tional friend is Maria Lucia Tavares Lopes, from Ponte Nova, Minas Gerais, Brazil. Eighteen years old (she had her birthday here in January), she had already graduated from not one but two high schools in Brazil before she came to RFA. The courses Maria Lucia is taking here include English lll, American history, French Ill, German |, speech, art, and, of course, gym. In the latter she had an unfortunate accident that put her in a cast, but she reassured her friends that she really didn't mind not taking gym! Maria Lucia's Brazilian family includes six chil- dren; she has two brothers and three sisters (all named Maria). Queried about how she likes it. here, she responds enthusiastically, especially on the subject of snow; which is unknown in Brazil. RFA has been enthusiastic about her, too. We hope the AFS program will continue to be as suc- cessful every year. = : : — =o Maria relaxes with the Bossa Nova, invented in Brazil Marky “gives Mawia AFS buppy.” “No, Mocky no kiss Mawia! ’ Maria participates in a favorite American sport — crossword puzzles.

Bates, our Senior Play, More Than Meets The Eye, by Fred Carmichael, proved to be a tremendous success. Indeed, more went on behind the scenes than did meet the audience's eye; de- spite misplaced props, forgotten lines, and skillful ad-lib- bing, the eleven-member cast presented the tale of the problem-ridden Grandma Letty with remarkable finesse. The great effort put into the scenery, costumes, props, and lighting was apparent. The long hours of strenuous work was rewarded by the acclaim of a receptive audience. In short, the Class of 1965’s Senior Play, proved to be a fruitful culmi- nation of many endeavors. The identity of Grandma Letty is finally let out. If only Hoskins knew!

The theme was ‘‘Camelot’’ but the dances far from Arthurian Barb Froelich reigned over the Junior Prom. Her coronation was the high point of the dance, attended by more than 75 couples. Members of the queen’s court were Catherine Graham, Denise McCann, Edna Sue Pisano, and Carolyn Schatz. The wall decorations carried out the theme by depicting castle battlements strewn with flowers, and between the gyms was the novel touch of a drawbridge. The evening's music was provided by the John Jaski band. It is rumored that even the chaperones — Mr. and Mrs. Benedict, Mr. and Mrs. Dennis Smith Mr. and Mrs. Gray, Mr. Dair, Mr. Moselle, Mr. Lux, and Mr. Dellork - had a ball at ‘‘Camelot. ’ At the drawbridge REVELLS AND MERRIEMENT: CAMELOT The transformation Arthur crowns the queen — B.

AFFAIR The mystery surrounding ‘‘The RFA Affair’’ was unveiled on April 2, 1965, when the annual RFA Talent Show went into action. As power- mad generalissimos, MC's Steve Waters and Craig Davis kept the plot (?) moving and the audience amused. The show, under the capable hands of Mr. Grapenstetter, showed evidence of many hours of hard work, Some of the highlights of ‘‘The RFA Affair’’ included the assorted songsters — Sylvia Figured, the Royalettes, Eddy Harris (who could for- get him?) Then, a laudable attempt in another direction, ‘‘That Was The Year That Was,”’ satirized topical school events and personalities. Two dances, one modern, by Sharon Motyl, and one traditional Span- ish, by Sharon Lunch, also impressed everyone as being well-done. The 1965 Talent Show was another tribute to the prodigious amount of work put forth by Mr. Grapenstetter and the following staff. Mrs. Schwartz, co-producer Patricia Moneta, executive director Patricia Gotti, co-producer Marilyn Dykens, co-producer William Slobodian, secretary to the executive director S.

OUR STUDENT GOVERNMENT The Student Association is a vital part of Rome Free Academy and sets the pace for all school activities. This representative body ena- bles all school functions to be carried out smoothly and successfully. Our lawmaking body puts school policy into action in accordance wth the R.F.A. constitution included in every student's handbook. The two legislative branches are the Cabinet and the Student Council. The Cabinet is comprised of the three class presidents, the three student council officers, and the B.S.I. Commissioner. The Student Council consists of homeroom chairmen who relate views of their respective homerooms to the other members of the coun- cil. The Student Association has the responsi- bility of co-ordinating school spirit with student participation in activities. All members of the Student Association are eligible to join clubs, run for office, vote in class and school elec- tions, and serve on various committees. It is the Student Association that must see to it that regulation election procedures are carried out. The organization is credited with many worthwhile activities. This year’s numerous acti- vities included the annual Thanksgiving Food Drive, which netted donations of over $200 and 700 cans of food, the orientation of Maria Lo- pez, our foreign exchange student from Brazil, and the March of Dimes Drive. The Student As- sociation also sponsors a get-acquainted Kick- off Dance and the Pep Rally. Mr. Franklin Pelky, the willing and energetic advisor to the Student Association and Student Council throughout the school year helps the students to run an efficient school government.

The 1965 De-O-Wain-Sta Editorial Staff, following the steps of the past yearbook staffs, serves the students of Rome Free Academy by capturing, reproducing, and cataloguing the events of the ‘‘now” as they occur. By doing this, the yearbook staff hopes to help recreate these times someday far distant from now. To the rest of the school, the production of the yearbook seemed a simple process. There appeared to be three stages in the preparation of every section: confidence, skepticism, and panic. The most productive state of all is, unquestionably, ‘‘panic.”’ It is a miracle of the modern world that page upon page can be compiled by students overwhelmed by their own ineptitude work- ing with complete disregard for all factors save time. Nevertheless, the members of the 1965 De-O-Wain-Sta took sincere interest in their work and devoted many long and tiresome hours to the creation of a yearbook that would equal or surpass the prize-winning 1964. To learn more about how a good year- book is created, ten members of the staff attended the 1964 annual yearbook confer- ence at Mont Pleasant High School, Sche- nectady, New York. With some new ideas and much optimism, the staff set to work arranging layouts, making pictures, and writing copy. The successful completion of the 1965 yearbook was insured by the patient guid- ance of our general advisor, Mr. Dair and by the special copy assistance of Mr. Buch- weitz. We are deeply grateful to them and others who have assisted us in preparing the 1965 De-O-Wain-Sta. We hope you will enjoy it.

De-O-Wain-Sta Business Staff carries out its threefold purpose: selling advertising, collect- ing subscription money, and distributing the freshly-printed Rome Free Academy yearbook. Early in the school year, the members of this hard-working staff canvass the downtown mer- chants in the hopes of persuading the local busi- nessmen to purchase this advertising which helps to finance the yearbook. In addition to possessing the power of the purse, the Business Staff is in charge of seeing that all RFA students are made aware of the De- O-Wain-Sta collection dates: this is done both by witty broadcasting and clever posters aimed at attracting the student’s attention. Daniel Reid, assisted by D. Becker, heads this energetic staff which works side by side with the Editorial Staff to make the yearbook of RFA a success. , Under the supervision of Mr. Auchmoody, the x D.

Mem- bers have a wide selection of du- ties which they perform on their assigned day. One of the requirements for membership into this service organization is a willingness to help with library inventories, to design bulletin boards, or arrange displays for Book Week. During Book Week the library held a cider and dough- nut ‘“‘break’’ for the teachers, at which time they could look at the new books, and if de- sired, put them on reserve for their students. Library Council members also aid the RFA librari- ans in their daily work, check- ing out books, distributing libra- ry slips, and recording, shelving, and covering books. At the end of the school year, the Libra- ry Council holds its annual so- cial function. In the fall, after the nominat- R. Grant at the file cabinet. ; ; ; ing committee had presented J.

Cartoons and the lat- est gossip are put on the board to catch the attention of every student. Although RFA has no newspaper as yet, the Forum at- tempts to fill this need.

AMERICAN FI The American Field Service, under the direction of Miss Katharine Clarke, has had a very active year at Rome Free Academy. The membership has been extended to include the entire student body of RFA, and as a result it now has a membership of approximately eighty-five. This year's elected officers, S.Fallik, president, R. Knauer, vice president, K. Getbehead, secretary, and A. Peterson, treasurer, preside over the four standing committees: scrapbook, poster, hospitality, and photography. The AFS has engaged in several success- ful ventures. It has given Maria Lucia, our foreign student from Brazil, several parties to acquaint her with more people. These parties, especially those taking place at Halloween and Christmas, have also served to familiarize Maria with American customs. Thus, the primary goal of the AFS is to make our foreign student feel at home. Second in importance, is the club's annual drive, the purpose of which is to collect enough money to enable Rome Free Academy to send a student abroad. The AFS is an international organization whose aim is to promote friendship and understanding through the young citizens of the world. It is a spokesman for peace, peace among all men. Murolla, K.

The choir's “repertoire” is usually composed of reli- gious and popular as well as classical selec- tions. The A Cappella Choir displays its talent in several assemblies at RFA and other local schools each year. Besides entertaining at RFA, the choir also competes with other area choirs in the New York State School Music Associa- tion. At Christmas the Choir broadcasts a pro- gram of Christmas carols over a local television station.

In addition to increasing ability and strength, the Aquatics Club strives to develop poise and grace in its swimmers, essentially through synchronized swimming. The highlight of the year was the club’s production of its annual water ballet, this year entitled, ‘‘A Three Ring Circus.'’ Hard work and many tedious hours of practicing proved worthwhile. The show was a sellout and a great success. This year the club initiated a program of competitive swimming for speed swimmers. For the first time members competed in inter- scholastic meets.

The Pep Club of Rome Free Academy at- tempts to stimulate school spirit and pride, not only in athletic events but also in musi- cal performances, scholastic competitions, and social affairs. Last year, in memory of a Pep Club member, the James Nichols’ Award was originated as an incentive to mem- bers to be active in the club’s many activi- ties. The first recipients of the award were the Scritchfield twins, Jean and Joan. Pep Club is under the supervision of Mrs. Helen Arthur. Mr. Edwin Rapke, and Mr. Nelson Gray. Officers are Ed Anania, president; Mary Jo Cesari, vice-president; Mar- ion Henze, secretary; Carol Rubino, trea- surer; Ed Sezna, publicity chairman; and Suel- len Gemberling, poster and decorations committee chairman. This year's activities included the Club's annual dance preceding the RFA vs UFA ri- val-game. Half-time shows were enhanced by a novel skit portraying the traditional Black Knight on a black charger downing the “enemy.’’ Pep Club presented this year’s undefeated football team with key chains as an expression of gratitude for their much-appreciated achievements.

These girls work diligently every week so that their presentation will provide superior entertainment for the crowd that fills the stadium. This year, the girls not only showed their excellence at twirling, but also man- aged to try a hand at a good old-fashioned hoedown. The response of the crowd proved without a doubt that this small hint of Indian Summer was a welcome sight on such a cold night. VARSITY: E. Bilboa, M. Colluccio, A. Testa, J. Rasmussen, C Popp, E.

The season starts in September and runs until November. There are two weeks of strenuous excercise, and then the girls are split into four teams. Teams one and two play in- terscholastically with neighboring schools. Teams three and four are majorly intramural teams. Our teams had an exceedingly good record this year: sixteen wins, one loss. Field hockey is a vigorous and challenging sport which is becoming more popular every year. The archery program is expanding constantly. Mrs. Dorthea Finlay guides the archers of RFA. The girls try to master mental concentration and physical precision. For the beginner a target is placed at a distance of twenty feet, and she is allowed to experiment. The distance increases with the participant’s accuracy. The skilled archer shoots at a target as far as forty feet away. The archery team has meets with neighboring schools. The girl with the highest accumulative total wins the match. BOWS ‘n’ RACKETS Tennis, under the leadership of Miss Ruth Demers, is open to all girls at Rome Free Academy both in the fall and in the spring of the year. Divided into groups according to previous experience and __ starting with beginners, the girls enjoy an active intramural program. The more skilled players are given the opportunity to compete on an interscholastic team. The popularity of tennis is steadily increasing, and the girls find the game both fun and stimulating. S.

At this playday there is competition within the respective classes, and the day ends with a match between the fresh- men, juniors, sophomores, and seniors. The volley- ball season climaxes with the Strough Competition which is usually held in March.

After several weeks of general practice, a singles elimination tourna ment was held. The winner was Nancy Weber; the runner-up was Sharon Stromick.

COV INTANSHES Gymnastics is a very popular sport among RFA girls. Meeting ae every Monday night with Miss Demers, the members of the Spe Apparatus Club enjoy working on various routines while they or develop coordination, agility, and grace. Girls choose the still rings, Fae trampoline, horse, ropes, even or uneven parallel bars, balance beam, or a combination of these for specialized training. An interscholastic team, composed of the more skilled members of the group, represents RFA in contests at home and at area schools. Gymnastics is part of the curriculum for the gym class, but the Apparatus Club allows girls to attempt stunts which are perhaps beyond the ability of the average student. AT RIGHT: C.

Miss Ethel Abbot supervises the intramurals which start in October and extend until April. The games are played weekly at the Rome Bowling Center. From the participants in these games, Miss Abbot chooses the outstanding girls to compete with teams from other schools. Climaxing the season in April the girls finishing first and those taking the high single and doubles honors are awarded trophies. L. Collier, P. McGuire. A. Coniglio demonstrates the basketball throw. a PACE-SETTERS S - . wea Track has long been popular among the RFA girls, and this year was no exception. The girls go through a general conditioning period after which they choose one or more track or field events for specialized practice. A number of interscholastic meets give the girls a chance to compete with girls from area schools. The Strough Track Meet, a seasonal highlight, renews the interclass rivalries as the girls strive to help their class win the Strough Trophy. MERMAIDS This year, for the first time, Rome Free Academy organized a girls’ interscholastic swimming team with Mrs. Jane Quebec as its advisor. The girls are permitted to use the pool Monday and Wednesday after school. Beginning in December, aspirants for the team began practicing specific strokes for the forthcoming meets with area schools. This new-comer to the athletic pro- gram was received with enthusiasm by the girls. The girls’ version of baseball — softball — hits the RFA diamond every spring. In the gym and on the field the girls are welcome to vigorously compete with one another. All interested girls are welcome to par- ticipate in the intramural program. The girls are allowed to choose their own teams and to contend with each other. From these intramural teams — sophomores, juniors, and seniors — Miss Marilyn Thomas, the girls’ supervisor, selects the most talented girls to play interscholastically. Spadafora, D. Williams. J.

A highlight of the Christmas vacation was the city championship game with Rome Catholic High. Though the results of this contest were dis- appointing, every minute was filled with tension and anxiety. The next games left Rome bowing to Whitesboro, Notre Dame, and UFA, but the tossers scored again in the winning column as they bested Water- town 77-55.
