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.

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

1 FHESHNIEN When the Freshman Class entered the Oswego Normal School, September 'l6, 1935, they immediately became a part of the student body ol the school. 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
