And the name, the Fame ot our Founder Thro' the changing years it stands, For he built as they built over yonder, The house not built with hands.

Ufime goeth not baclqward, nor tarries with yesterday. Seventy-five years have witnessed many changes throughout our land. We have changed from an agricultural to an industrial society. Migrations from the farms have concentrated the greater part of our population in cities. lnventions and their application to our occupations have changed our mode of living, have enhanced our comforts, enlarged our fields of activity, facilitated our inter- course with others. Occupations are more specialized and many of the old-time occupations have disappeared. Mass production and modern transportation facilities overwhelm us with plethora of goods of which the man of the ox-cart stage did not even ltnow the names. These material changes have wrought far-reaching influences upon our social ideals, standards of living, moral codes, amusements and the use of the greater leisure which the present day affords. The farmer of the past might be content to wring a living from the soil. l-le had little leisure to satisfy any aspirations for the aesthetic phases of living which we thinlc of as cultural. Literature, music, graphic and plastic arts were too remote to be attainable. It required modern inventions to malce the products of culture accessible to all. Educational aims and practices also have undergone extensive modifications. Schools have had to assume functions once performed by the home. Urban- ization of population has compelled group instruction and made possible more homogeneous group- ing of children. The enrichment of school curricula has demanded more and more intensive preparation for the practice of teaching. When Edward Austen Sheldon entered upon his career, education was essentially a function of the agricultural home. Children were sent to school to be trained in the arts of reading, writing and computation which they could not learn at home. ln addition to these arts, the schools attempted to familiarize children with information relating to history, geography, and literature. The system- atized content of these subjects had no immediate bearing upon the active life of children and had to be acquired from boolcs, by the process of memorizing. The gulf between natural learning in the home and boolc learning was broad, since the content of boolc learning was remote from the real life of the children and the learning process was artificial and unlilce the method of learning in real life. Many thoughtful teachers were aware of the existence of this gulf. Some, more enterprising than others, made attempts to bridge the gulf. Sheldon, among others, was alert to the need of a teaching technique more in accord with natural learning and with the needs of children. l'lis Search made him acquainted with l7'estalozzi's objective method of teaching the school arts, and he made this Pesta- lozzian method the basis of a reform of instruction which he introduced into the Oswego city schools of which he was at the time superintendent. This innovation attracted many progressive teachers, and Oswego became the Mecca for many earnest teachers in their quest for improved teaching methods. As the numbers of these pilgrims increased it became inevitable that Sheldon's attention be focused upon the problem of teacher training in addition to improvement of teaching children. The resources of a city training class soon became inadequate to meet the influx of teachers in search of improved methods of teaching. ln 1867 the state of New York subsidized the city training class and established it as one of a system of normal schools designed for the improvement of teaching. The Qswego State Normal and Training School from henceforth was explicitly dedicated to two aims, better teaching and training better teachers. Pestalozzian objective teaching was only the initial step in the advancement of teaching children. It was one of the major factors in stimulating interest in the teaching process. During the first quarter century hundreds of Oswego graduates carried the gospel of better teaching into communities throughout the country and made it conscious of the need for better trained teachers and instruc- tional facilities. Other educational reforms were furthered in connection with the Pestalozzian movement in Oswego. Froebel's Kindergarten and its philosophy of education through activity found a genial atmosphere in Oswego. Manual training in its functional aspect was added to the teaching program while the movement itself was still in its swaddling clothes. Nature study, the daughter of object teaching and science became one of the cores for the correlation of the increasing subjects of the curriculum, literature being the other. Early in the life of the school, laboratory practice replaced demonstration, not only in the fields of science but particularly in the practice of the teaching art. The practice school developed into the most important factor in teacher training. The l-lerbartian movement, with its emphasis upon character training, the doctrine of interest, the formal steps of instruction, the organization of subject-matter into Umethod wholesn Cunit activitiesb received a hearty welcome and became still another factor in the Oswego movement toward better teaching. During the first half century of its existence the Oswego schools, as well as the country at large, addressed themselves to the improvement of methods of teaching. ln later years the various pedagogical movements, especially the l-lerbartian influence, have tended to direct attention from the logical, subject matter, point of view to the psychological, child development, conception. As we approach the present, we find that child nature and child development occupy the center of pedagogical stage and that methods and techniques of teaching are relegated to a more sub- ordinate position. The child, his health, his capacities, his antecedents, his present and future needs, his happiness, these are the determiners of the lcind of school necessary for his education in this greatly changed social order and also of the character of the instruction which will meet his present day needs. Ouite recently the child, who is the cause of all our pedagogical agitation, has had to yield a part of the spotlight to the teacher. When we contrast the changed mode of living, cultural advant- ages and occupational pursuits of today with the agrarian order of bygone days, we are persuaded that we need teachers to match the times, no less than the children to whom they are to minister unto. Greater maturity, with a better understanding of our more complex society, of increased culture which mal4es possible participation in an American culture which is rapidly assuming form and becoming vocal. This is in part the motive for converting the teacher training institutions of the past into some equivalent of the colleges. No longer is the ability to teach the three R's adequate teacher equipment .... ln addition he must be an interpreter of our complex social order, must be able to introduce pupils into various cultural fields and feel happy therein, must himself be the embodiment of a cultivated person whose influence, because of what he is, will be more potent even than what he teaches. And so we see the emergence of the teacher of the future from the level of craftsmanship to the higher professional sphere, endowed with enhanced self-respect, pronounced professional con- sciousness and esprit-de-corps. A living institution has body and soul. Though its body changes, its soul lives in the successive generations of its graduates who interpret the practice of service to childhood and humanity in terms of Alma lVlater's ideals.

Vice-President ln September T932 a group of young and ambitious men entered Oswego State Normal School as freshmen in the lndustrail Arts Department. After three years of thorough training we were graduated with hopes of entering the teaching profession, Some of our classmates did find positions, but a group of fifteen men returned to talte the fourth year of training, which has been established as a start in transforming the lndustrial Arts Department into a state teacher's college with degree granting power. We started our fourth year by doing good worlc in class and we engaged in a varied line of extra-curricular activities. The Spealcens Union was organized as a new activity by our group. We believe that such experience as that will enable us to do better worlc when we leave to teach. ln June 1936 our school days at Oswego are ended. We realize that the fourth year in the lndustrial Arts Department has given us a better understanding of our worlc and will enable us to improve our teaching profession. As our last words as students we wish the coming graduates of Oswego Normal School the best of lucl4 and success in their lifefs worlc. We as graduates hope to enter the teaching profession and boost the name Oswego, but it's up to you to continue the worlc where we left off, to improve in every department so that in the near future our Alma Mater can be rightfully and proudly termed Oswego State -l'eacher's College, First Row: R.

We hope to be able to overcome those obstacles which lie before us, for our school, our Alma Mater, has given us the ability to solve many problems. Qur mission in life is the greatest of its kind, may our service to society be recognized when our worlc begins to talce shape. We are the builders of the next generation, may the foundation vve build be as strong and sturdy as those before us. To you, my classmates, l bid farewell. It has been a pleasant visit and one that will linger in the minds of all of us. We are to separate now, but with the thought that we will all meet many times in the future. And now, good luck. May success be yours. R. J. Caccavelli President of Class 1936 '14 SENIUH HISTUHY To see us now one would never lcnow that once we were the Hgreenest of the green. Yes, once away baclc in 1933, we were poor, lowly Freshmen entering the portals of the great institution, the place which has been our worl4room and social center for three happy, fruitful years. This .lune we go forth in great splendor, confident that we have achieved something and are now ready to face life with all its perplexities. Qne of the first functions we attended, under the pressure of rules made by upper classmen, was the Freshman Dance. We were lined up and paired off to dance while the upper classmen loolced us over. We Hhobnobbedn through a delightful, if painful, evening with Seniors who thought they lqnew everything and tried to malce us believe them, with Sophomores who thought they l4new everything and couldn't malce us believe them, and with Freshmen who knew they had much to learn and admitted it. As we became acquainted with our dear old Alma Mater, we realized that we weren't going to be so badly treated. The upper classmen met us more than hallway when we attempted to malce friends. The spirit of friendliness that always pervades the atmosphere at Cswego Normal wrapped us in its embrace, and soon we too were a part of this institution of teacher training. Our present principal and leader, Dr. Ralph Swetman, was also a Freshman. This thought helped us over many difficulties in our first days. l'le came from the West bringing with him the ideal of friendliness. l le created a school in which every one has a cheery Hello for everyone else. Our class was well organized and our members became active in the various phases of school life. We planned and enjoyed a class party. We participated in sports and government. It was during our Freshman year that the new Associated Student Body Constitution was written and adopted. Our class was represented and actively partici- pated in the worlc of the Constitutional Committee. We were proud of our Student Council representatives and Class officers. ln the Fall of 1934 we returned to the school and we were playing the role of upperclassmen. We continued to hold an important place in activities and to a great extent we built up our position as a class of high ranlc. ln May we held a delightful Prom in honor of the class of 1935. ln the Fall of 1935 we enrolled for our third year. Our classmates were the Associated Student Body officers, and we were the ones who had happy recollections of other years spent at Oswego. We were Seniors. We had serious worlc waiting for us. This last year has passed rapidly. June 1936 is the date of our graduation. Our banquets and dances will have a greater attendance of alumnae members than in any previous years. We are being honored as the Seventy-fifth graduating class of Oswego State Normal. That is one happy memory we will always carry with us. We leave our school with inter-mingled feelings of sorrow and joy. We experience sorrow because we regret that never again can we be freshmen, sophomores or seniors in this school. It is a joy to talce with us memories of Qswego and to thinl4 about our future. We have a grand goal in life. To our care will be entrusted the building of character and personality of the next generation. We leave you with this thought: The road to our hopes may be fatiguing, But we're sure of reaching our goal, If good judgment is guiding our footsteps And patience possesses our soul.

Vice-Resident ANNA MAE PARKER . Secretary MARY I-IACKETT . . Treasurer MR. ROIVINEV . . . Faculty Advisor Reminiscing, what does it mean? To every Junior it signifies the series of events occuring from the time we entered this immortal institution as gawlty freshmen, dis- tinguished by spectacular green berets. l'lowever, this was merely the initiation into a glorious series of events which were to malce an indelible stamp upon our memories. Shortly after we received our caps, the school endeavored to malce us Feel more at home by requesting our presence in green caps, at a hop. There we were compelled to act as the center of jest for the upper classmen. Because ol that, the night was one oi the most memorable evenings in our history. ln the early part of the term we elected representatives to the student council as well as class otficers. Finally, June arrived closing For us one of the most exciting epochs in our lives. While we were all happy at having a long vacation, we were already antici- pating with great joy, the arrival ofthe Fall Term. September arrived, and with it came the renewal of acquaintances and comrades. Soon alter starting our worlt, each of us was discussing plans for our biggest social affair of the year, the Junior Prom. After careful consideration and discussion, our class a reed to hold itat Recreation Parlc, but this decision was objectionable to Old Man Xlginter. l'lis interference compelled us to sponsor the Prom in our Gymnasium. Due to the commendable etforts of the committee, this event was one of the most successful and popular social atfairs in the history ol our school. Now as this year draws to a close, we are eagerly anticipating our Senior year at the Normal. To the Class oF1936 we bid a Fond farewell. Q8 THIHU YEAH INUUSTHTAL ARTS This class is the first in the history of the Oswego State Normal School that may truly be called Juniors, because it will be the first to complete the new Four-year course as set up in this institution and, we hope, obtain a Batchelor of Science Degree at the completion ol our worlc here. This class may well be called a select group of students because ol the tact there are only Fifty per cent of the original freshman class left. As a whole, it is very active in school affairs, having many members in various important phases ol school lite. Also as a result of the combined etlorts ol the class, changes have been made, which we thinlc have improved work in the courses and general school life. There are no specific officers for this class, as we are also combined with the Juniors of the General Elementary Department. However, the president of the entire Junior Class, Raphael Caccavelli, was piclced from our group, and we consider this quite an honor. We may state that this class has been exceptionally active in arranging the Junior Proms of the past two years. Both times the chairman of the Junior Prom was a member of this class, and both were exceptionally well handled. The lndustrial Arts men who are graduating this June under the three-year course started in as Freshmen at the same time as this class. We would lilce to have them continue the work through the four years with us, but they are completing their worl4 this year and at this time we wish to extend our sincere hope that they will be successful in the years to come. To all Seniors we would lilce to express our regret at seeing you leave us this June, but all we hope is that we may mean as much, and do as much for the school as you have.

At a special meeting class otficers were nominated and elected. For the president of our class we chose Eric Brunger. To assist him Edward Tanner was selected as vice-president. Rita Scusa was our choice for secretary, and Robert Weldon became treasurer. The class olificers having been duly elected, they promptly proceeded with their respective duties. With the business of the class now in capable hands, freshmen students became interested in the various school activities. ln the Field of sports the Freshman Class was well represented on both the football and baslcetball teams. These members throughout the seasons gave added strength and support to the regular teams. Many freshmen interested in the fine arts became members of the Orchestra, Glee Club and Treble Clef. Others entered dramatics. Some of them gained recognition through their performances in the various plays given during the year. Many of them were interested in newspaper work. These students soon became members of the Oswegonian statf, and a great deal of the success of the paper is due to their etlorts. Before we had time to consider the social aspects of the school, the various fraternities and sororities overwhelmed us with a series of rush parties. Alter enjoying these lunc- tions, those of us who wanted to become affiliated with an organization joined the sorority or fraternity of our choice. Now as lull-fledged members ol the Oswego Normal School, the Freshman class looks Forward with hope and pleasure to its remaining years spent at school. Goodbye and good luck to our 'I936 Seniors. We've had a happy year with you all. 30 . . . SEHUUL LIFE . .. First Row: Margaret Marshall, Ruth Burns. Second Row: Adolph Gedhe, Robert Workman, Raphael Caccavelli.

Dean of Men We congratulate ourselves on our choice of officers for this year, which is rapidly drawing to a successful close. From September 1935 to June 1936 under the able guidance of Robert Workman, who has proven himself an unusually cooperative and efficient leader and executive, every effort has been made to carry out the expressed wishes and desires of the Associ- ated Student Body. P Rush Burns, our Vice-President, has been a capable substitute in the absence of our resi ent. Margaret Marshall willingly and cheerfully devoted time to her secretarial duties. To Adolph Gedhe, Treasurer, and Raphael Caccavelli, Assistant Treasurer, we ex- press our grateful thanlts for their efficient direction of all financial affairs. They have spent many hours balancing formidable figures. The Council consists of three women and three men from each of the first three classes. The fourth year class has one representative, and there is one representative-ab arge. Each class showed discrimination in its selection of delegates. The council members solved to the satisfaction of their faculty and classmates all the problems which were brought before them. Much credit is due Dr. Swetman, Mrs. Hart, and Mr. Cribben for the advice and assistance which they have rendered the council. 32 STUDENT IIUUNCIL Helene Burton Marion Fleming Elizabeth Hurley Virginia Lowrey Beatrice Byer Jean Eggleston SENIORS Ella Taylor Raphael Caccavelli JUNIORS Noryne McMahon John Bouchard FRESI-IMEN Mary Honors John Frech FOURTH YEAR Warren Walker REPRESENTATIVE-AT-LARGE Howard Gresens Wesley Hammond Harold Payne Lester Gosier Joseph Roden Ted Gode Drhu Meeker First Row: J.

All about the OSWEGONlAN, First publication of the Associated Student Body of the Oswego Normal School. Started' in the 1935 summer session of the school under the direction of William D. Taylor, Jr., teacher of journalism at Arizona State Teachers' College, twenty-eight issues of the paper have been published up to the present time. It is the policy of the OSWEGONIAN to present the news ofthe school, serve as a bulletin, bring a wider knowledge of the school as a whole to all the students and greater recognition of the achievements of those connected with the school, either as students or faculty members. Special mention should be made of those students attending the summer session through whose efforts the OSWEGONIAN has continued through the current year, to Mr. Quigg who is responsible for extensive research and for the appro riation from the student body for the establishment of the paper, to Charles Winer whno has acted in the capacity of associate editor and later general manager and to Mr. LeBoeufwho has consistently edited the paper since the third summer session issue. Cooperation, diligence and enthusiasm on the part of the start, to most of whom, at the beginning of the year the Field of collegiate journalism was new, have made it possible to maintain and improve the primary polic and set-up of the OSWEGONIAN and to solicit advertising, the returns from which by supplementing the original ap- propriation, are largely responsible for keeping the paper on weelcly basis. Also, the assistance and advice of the advisory committee has been willingly otfered as the Occasion demanded. 36 UHEHESTHA OFFICERS ECKHAR-l JACABSON . . . . . President MARION MULLEN . .

Wheelwright, has shown considerable improvement this year over years in the past, as have all of the musical organizations in the school. Besides the addition ol a Sousaphone and a baritone horn, the result ol contributions from the Associated Student Body, the general spirit ol the group improved to malce possible their Fine performance at assemblies and other Functions throughout the year. With over Forty members, including a clarinet quartet and a string quartet, the orchestra has played at every one ol the weekly assembly programs till they have become a neces- sary part ol the proceedings. The climax ol the year was reached at the Christmas Pageant Play, when they play the overture, Around the Christmas Tree. ln May, the orchestra gave its regular spring concert, and at this time they showed unusual progress. The members are to be congratulated for the Fine spirit ol cooperation and interest that they have shown in school Functions. There is no doubt that our as- sembly programs would laclc much of their feeling and zest if it were not lor this line group. Outol the orchestra has grown the First band Oswego has had. They performed so well at our home basketball game. The newly formed group had a short period of practice, and in spite ol the laclc ol equipment this small band has done wonderfully well to improve the Fighting spirit of both the team and the audience.

The Treble Clef Club cooperated with the other musical organizations and the Dramatic Club in the Christmas Pageant Hfhe Quest of the Flame. Delightful programs have been given at the Strand Theater and at the school assemblies. The organization has en'oyed several parties. Early in October the girls entertained the members of the Men's dlee Club and Orchestra at a party held in the Music Room. The Men's Glee Club, later in the term, sponsored a delightful party for the girls at the industrial Arts Center. ' One of the outstanding features of the year's program vvas malcing the acquaintance of Dr. Charles Wakefield Cadman, noted American composer. While he was a guest of the school, the musical clubs gave a luncheon in his honor at which many of The Treble Clef girls vvere present. Dr. Cadman favored the group with autographed music and photographs of himself. Throughout the year sixty-eight girls have participated in the group. The Treble Clef Club is loolcing forward to many more successful years. 38 NlEN'S Gltt CLUB OFFICERS I-IUBERT ROBERTS . . . . . President JOHN BOUCHARD .

Director This year there has been one of the finest Men's Glee Clubs in the history of the school. Under the direction of Mr. Lorin F. Wheelwright, new head of the music de- partment, this organization has improved until it now takes its place among the better musical organizations in the colleges of the state. ln addition to the regular chorus of forty-eight voices, a male quartet, a clarinet sextet, and a marimba soloist, persons who are regular members of the Glee Club, performed at most of the engagements. These extra attractions, included in the program for the first time this year, were well received wherever the group sang, and they helped to insure the maintenance of the high music standards of Oswego. At the Christmas Pagent held in the school auditorium, the male chorus surprised the audience with their fine performance. It was generally felt that the beautiful back- ground furnished by the chorus was essential to the proper interpretation of the play. ln doing their share so nobly the Glee Club only gave an early indication of the heights they were able to reach later in the year. Since the latter part of March, the club has given weekly performances to school groups in different parts of the Oswego area. They have also made several local appear- ances. ln all of their performances they have succeeded in winning for themselves the alcclaimbof their audience and have secured guaranteed engagements for next year for t e c u .

Through the efforts of Mrs. Chambers and the members, the club gained in strength and received many favorable comments from the faculty and from the townspeople who had the opportunity to hear any of the dis- cussions presented by the organization. During the months of activity a great variety ol topics were discussed in private meetings. ln addition to this a series of discussions were held at the request ol several prominent organizations in Oswego. Some of the topics discussed were: The Townsend Plan, The Proper Approach to World Peace, Should the Power of the Supreme Court be Curtailed, and Should the Teacher Play and Active Part in Moulding the News Social Order. The last ol these was presented as an assembly program. The discussion which followed the presentation of the panel was lengthy.

IHTHA-MUHAL AETIVITIES The Women's Athletic Association is for every girl in the school. A very successful form of government has been carried on by the executive council of the organization which is made up of managers of each sport and four officers. Almost any sport that a girl can wish for is offered through the W. A. A. lr is felt that the girls derive a great deal of pleasure and benefit from these activities. An enthusiastic group of girls started the fall semester engaging in the four major sports, hiking, rifling, tennis and archery. About thirty girls signed up for hiking. Many hikes were taken to places of local interest such as the orphanage, the fort, a greenhouse, and many other places. The climax of the season was a hot dog roast on the Lakeshore which was enjoyed by all. The leadership of Vera l-layden was a contributing factor to the success of the club. During the early fall weeks, the two tennis courts were filled with enthusiastic players. This sport is to be continued during the spring semester if the weather permits. Nearly forty girls are to receive credit toward their block 0 in this activity. l'lelen Tiefke and Margaret Cypher shared in the responsibility for the tennis club. Although rifling is one of the newest organizations among the women's activities, twenty girls have shown a great deal of interest in this sport. The girls shared the rifle range with the boys and practiced twice a week. Under the guidance of Lila Jarvis, many girls have proved to be very skillful in shooting. Archery has for several years past proved to be a very successful sport. The girls numbered thirty for this sport. Two girls who especially proved their skill in the archery tournament were Irene Nellenback and Joy Phillips. The girls play several hours a week and hope to continue this spring. During the season three girls journeyed to Syracuse to participate in a tournament with other schools. Esther King and Ruth Burns have shown their initiative in helping the girls. About fifty enthusiastic volleyball players started the winter season very successfully. Ada l.insler as manager helped the girls to organize into five teams. Twice a week practice and tournaments were held with the lnjuns finally winning. Everyone had a good time and they are looking forward to next year. Helen Smith, manager of basketball, called the girls together and found that over fifty girls proved to be interested in intramural basketball. Teams were organized and practices held twice a week for over a period of nine weeks. The tournament was finally won by the Twerps, captained by Margaret O'l'oole. Very good basketball has been played this year. Through the assistance of Virginia Lowery as manager, a Dancing Club has been organized again this year. Nearly sixty girls have shown their enjoyment in taking part. The girls have learned many new dances and an assembly program is planned for the future. l-lere's wishing them lots of luck. Due to the weather, the Winter-Sports group did not have as many gatherings as they had hoped for, but nevertheless had a very enjoyable season. The girls had a chance to participate in snow-shoeing, skiing, and skating. Although the Winter Car- nival had to be postponed many times, there is always another year. This has proved to be a grand sport to about twenty-five girls who have taken part in the activity with help of Ruth Alger as manager. Two new sports have been added to the schedule this year and both have aroused the interest of the girls. Margaret Owloole has helped to organize a bowling team and many girls have been going down town to bowl nights after school. It is hoped that this activity will be carried on next year on a larger scale. Baseball under the management of Genevieve Yates is being organized at the present time. ln the past this has proved to be a very successful sport with the girls and probably will be again this year. We wish to thank Mrs. Galbraith for the very complete program which she has given us this year and for all the good times which we have had. 44 BASEBALL ELDRED BARCLIFF . . Senior Manager MARIO CAPOTOSTO . . Junior Manager MAX ZlEl. .............. Coach Baseball this year reached the goal toward which we have been striving For many years. College teams comprise the opposition with the exception ol Cortland Normal, which team has proven itself to be the equal ol any college team in the state. Due to lack oF Finances, there are but Five games on the schedule. These include con- tests with Colgate, Clarkson, lthaca and a home and home series with our time-honored rivals, Cortland Normal. Although the team Faces this rather hard schedule, the outlook is bright due to the Fact that we have most of last year's team again. Pitchers George Pepper Martin and Ed Owens, catchers l-loward Gresens and Frank Jarvis, inFielders Bob Kirkpatrick, Pete Furnari and Joe Luczycki, outfielders Gerry VfoodruFF, Toby Mcpeak and Ed Schneider are on hand. Replacements For those lost by graduation will be Found in the Freshmen candidates and they will round out a high-class team. Last season, the team got oFF to a Fine start, winning two oF its First three games, but thereafter, it could not win. Jack Stets pitched Fine ball, against Oneonta Normal, gave them two hits and struck out'l3, winning 5-O. The next day, George Martin, pitching ace oF the '34 season, pitched the team to a 6-5 victory over the strong Hartwick College team. Although getting 'I4 hits to our 7, l-lartwick was able to score only in the First and eighth innings due to the Fine pitching and defensive work of the team as a whole. With so many veterans back, the team expects to make a much Finer showing this year. 45 FUUTBALL EDWARD RAYMOND . . Manager HENRY DUI-IRIELS . Assistant Manager HERMAN GUTJAHR Assistant Manager MAX G. Zllfl. ............. Coach Football, during it's last season as an interscholastic sportat0swego State Normal, proved to be a popular sport on the hill, even though the team did not come through with a long string of victories. I The squad, handicapped from the First by laclc of experienced players and loss of men through injuries, failed to emerge from a game on the long side of the score. The players fought gamely throughout the season, and the Final game showed a much better team than at the beginning ofthe season. The three home games, played on the new twenty-Five thousand dollar athletic Field, were with Cortland Normal, Syracuse Junior Varsity, and Nassau College of Long lsland. The team traveled to Oneonta to play l'lartwiclc College, to Kutztown, Penn- sylvania to play Kutztown State -leacher's College, and to Mansfield, Pennsylvania to play Mansfield State Teachers College. The team, although forced into the role of the underdog during the season played a spirit that will be remembered for years to come by students and other followers oi the team. With some classes running until Five o'cloclc, malcing a necessary practice period un- available, lacl4 of funds to carry on interscholastic ball, and with a laclc of experienced players, the Associated Student Body voted to discontinue this activity. The Class oi 1936 gives to Coach Ziel and his athletes its respect and admiration for carrying the Gold and Green banner with a loyal spirit and goodwill. 46 STANLEY MCCANN . JOHN TERMINELLA .

Coach Winning '14 games out of 'I6 played, the 1935-36 basketball team established itself as the greatest since Coach Max Ziel has taken over the coaching reins. Nine straight victories on their home court is the record established by the Green and Gold during the past season, the two defeats were suffered on foreign courts and by two and three points respectively. The fancy-parts passers accomplished a feat worthy of any collegiate team in this section when they defeated Clarkson Tech, lthaca College, and Cortland Teachers decisively, and all in one week. The remarkable success of the team was unquestionably due,to the unselfish spirit which prevailed among the players. To Coach Ziel must go the credit for putting this spirit in the players, which to many was even more important than the great victories which the team scored. Prospects for another banner season next year are unusually bright. With Brower and Riffe as a nucleus, and Kirkpatrick, Mcpeak, McMillan and Welden having had at least a year's experience, Oswego should have another great team. Oswego Normal is definitely on the threshold of entering into competition, exclusive- ly, with the small college basketball teams of the state. Victories in the past two years over Colgate, Clarkson Tech, Upsala, l-lartwick, Anrold and St. Michaels have proven, undisputably, their right to compete in this field.

All through the year the men of the school enjoyed and benefited from the many activities offered by the sports depart- ment ofthe school. The program this year included many and varied activities. Tennis, basketball, ping- pong, boxing, wrestling, softball, horseshoe pitching, handball, slciing, and snowshoe- ing are some of the many activities offered. At the time of this writing, another favorite sport, golf, is pending. ln the fall, men of the school could be found at any time of the day playing a game of tennis, softball, or horseshoes. Early in the fall term facilities for pitching horseshoes were placed at the disposal of the students. From the beginning this sport was popular among the men. Groups were ever present in the vicinity of the pits. A tournament was arranged and a great number of people toolc part. At this same time the ever popular game of tennis was claiming its own share of followers. ln good tennis weather the courts served their purpose. A friendly spirit of lceen competition arose among the players and there were many well played and exciting sets. One day early in the fall the afternoon portion of the regular session was left free of classes in order that the students could do what they chose. This day turned out to be one of the pleasantest of the season. It was quite warm, and dry, and the sun was shining brightly. The sports interest of the students was clearly shown by their attendance at the tennis courts, baseball diamond, and other places on the campus offering recrea- tional physical activity. As the fall season drew to a close and the winter season began, ping-pong was introduced. Three excellent tables were set up in the gymnasium. From the first day it was realized that three tables were not enough to accommodate all those who wished to play. For this reason three more tables were placed in the gym. Later, a tournament was arranged for single, double, and mixed double sets. Also with the winter season came baslcetball. During free hours the gym resounded with the shouts of players. Tournaments were formed for class teams, independent teams, and teams representing the different gym classes. Boxing and wrestling were prominent in extra-curricular circles. Under the direction of two experienced student coaches meetings were held after school in the gym. After the Christmas holidays, an indoor sports carnival was held. The public was invited and several bouts and matches were ejoyed by the large crowd present. Cn those winter days when the ground was covered with a thiclc blanket of white snow, the campus and the surrounding fields were beautifully traced with the tracks of slciis and snowshoes. We had an especially fine opportunity to avail ourselves of the enjoyments and benefits from these two activities because of the great quantity of snow which Fell and the fine winter days we had while it lasted. As we come to the spring and summer seasons, our thoughts are turned toward tennis, baseball and other sports which usually prove popular during the warm weather. Now, that we have reached the end of the school year, those who have participated in one or more of the activities mentioned above can look baclc on many hours made enjoyable and beneficial by them. intramural sports not only served as a change from our studies, but we derived both mental and physical benefits. 50 a Eu -is a if a E. a Mm sas :H -2 ii- LL m f1- i -Ei U- ff- 1 J ii: -.

Cribben Gordon Wilber George Linnaberry Edward Owens Edward Raymond Raul Taylor Warren Walker Dr. Richard K. Riez Garson Rockott ln the winter of 'l9Q'l Dr. James G. Riggs, then principal of the Normal School, suggested to a few ofthe men ol the school that they organize a group whose purpose would be to perpetuate the memory of Dr. Sheldon. As a result ol this suggestion a few men met, selected Mr. Roclcoli, then a student at Qswego, as chairman and formed Sheldon Forum. The Forum had speal4ers address them. From this practice discussion groups were developed. They later held debates with other organizations. ln 'l9Q5 the Constitution and By-Laws were changed and the Forum became the men's honorary society of the school. Since that time there have been many revisions which have resulted because of the transition from a two- to a three-year course, and then to a four-year course. Eligibility for membership in Sheldon Forum is based primarily on superior scholarship achievement which must be supplemented by good school citizenship,properprofessional attitude, and good sportsmanship. The objectives ofthe society aim for the maintenance of high scholastic standing, professional suitability and cultural improvement. The high standards of achievement required of members malce it possible Tor the Forum to loolc ahead to becoming affiliated with a national honorary fraternity when Oswego obtains the power to grant degrees. 65 HUIVIUH WITTICISMS l-lelen Angell-Taken wing and left us.
