Now the long voyage is over and debarkation awaits us. We step to the land-the nebulous future. For many of us it is the termination of our education, for others it is a stepping stone to college, graduate study, or pro- fessional training. The adult world seems a bit frightening, it beckons, yet repels. We are hesitant about leaving our ship where we have been protected and happy. Now we must cope with reality. No one like our teachers in high school will stand beside us to advise and guide us. Individual decisions must be made, but their influence will spread beyond a sphere to become part of our country and even of the whole world. In one sense, we, the graduates of the Class of 1949, are pioneers as were the prospectors one hundred years ago. They sought material wealth, gold, whereas we seek mental and spiritual goods, scientific discoveries for the cure of cancer, infantile paralysis, protection from the atom bomb. May we succeed in our de- sires as did the 49ersl Graduation day is also one of remeniscence. We approach a pinnacle and look back with regret and ahead with eagerness. We shall recall our triumphs as fresh- men. We found our way with difiiculty about the building and were confused by the Academy's individual system of numbering rooms, we struggled to get the many cards signed. We remember not only the hard work we encountered but also the fun that went along with it. Those geometry problems took hours to IIYI-USE understand but then it was hard to stop doing themg the chemistry laboratory seemed nothing but racks of bottles and glassware but it was intriguing to be able to explain a chemical reactiong the English themes were certainly tough but we learned the power of expression. We shall never forget the football games- getting hoarse from cheering the team ong the class elections-bright campaign posters decorating the corridorsg meeting deadlines for the yearbook-the frantic rush for special assignments and photographers snapping picturesg the dedication of the new gymnasium-after many years of planning and building. Although we regret that the gymnasium was available to us seniors for one term, its dedication will ever remain vivid and impressive in our memories. For the first time in more than thirty years the entire student body of Utica Free Academy was gathered together under one roof. The stirring music of the band, the A Cappella Choir standing beneath the rippling folds of Old Glory, the poignant rendition of America the Beautiful are indelibly stamped on our minds. This is not only a building for participation of sports but an institution dedicated to the development of good sportsmanship and fair play. Now we are entering the harbor, soon to debark and begin another voyage, adult participation in this great universe. We are humbly grateful to teachers and advisors who have anticipated our needs and assisted us in preparing for this great task which lies before us. We shall encounter many trials and tribulations in our quest for success and happiness. May each and every senior find lasting satisfaction and contentment on this next voyage! With This We Hnnnr MISS RUTH MILNE As a ship seeks its lighthouse, so the members of the graduation class of 1949 have sought the friendly guidance of Miss Ruth Milne. Although she attended Os- wego State Teachers' College, she received her A.B. degree from Syracuse University and later her M.A. from the same institu- tion. After teaching English for a year in the Academy she left us to teach at Proctor High School. Threeiyears ago, however, she came back into the U. F. A. fold as a councilor. In these years she has proved to be a great help to the students under her jurisdiction. Indeed she has made the rough spots on our voyage smoother and the trip a more pleasant one. , 46144 . , . 5- --s' r- .,-.,. ..

ANDREW BURDICK For the tireless work and effort of Dr. Burdick and the Board of Edu- cation, we, the seniors of U. F. A., are deeply grateful. Without their help the students of the Academy would be unable to take their right- ful place among the citizens of Utica. Education is the path that leads through the underbrush of ignor- ance into the clearing of truth and understanding. Bnartl nf Education Richard H Balch Albert J Conboy Mrs Fred J MacMackin, Dr. G.

Academician FRESHMAN VOYAGE On the fourteenth of August, 1945, along the rest of the world, the embryonic class of 1949 celebrated V. 1. day. This was also our Bon Voyage party before boarding the good ship U.F.A. Academician. After picking up passengers at various ports, Mrs. Frieson, our Division Ofhcer, charted our course and we sailed on the seventh day of September, 1945, with our yellow and white pennant valiantly snapping in the breeze. As the new passengers were at first a little green, it was difiicult for us to remember to report to sick-bay before leaving the ship. We found things strange, and many a bungler, was forced to walk the plank into 121, the cabin of our Master at Arms. A dark cloud hung over our craft when both officers and passengers learned of the deaths of Miss Rendell and Mr. Francis, two of our Petty Officers. At Christmas time we were allowed to go to hear the A Cappella Choir's rendition of The Night Before Christmas. This made up for all the frightening experience that we as greenhorns had encountered. In the spring Senora Sopez, representative of South America, came on board and spoke at a Pan American Assembly. In june we took our first examinations. Finally we understood what it meant to cram and pray for success. Fortunately there were not too many disasters, and most of the passengers survived to sail on the second voyage. SO PHOMORE VOYAGE In.the summer months of 1946, our ship, the U.F.A. Academician, was in dry dock for minor repairs. In September the officers and passengers gathered for the second voyage on the Sea of Knowledge. This year held in store an eventful trip for us all. Cabin 139 was opened as a temporary gym- nasium, giving U.F.A. boys the first chance to participate in sports on the ship. Teams were formed by Chief Petty Officer Fred Collins. Petty Officer Elizabeth jay and some musical passengers were transferred for a brief interlude to a ship of wounded veterans, Rhodes Hospital, to entertain the men there. The National Honor Society was organized for the first time under the direction of Fannie Maggiolino. Its purpose was to develop character, service, leadership and scholarship. One of our Chief Petty Officers, Edith Nelson, shipped out to Manchester, England, and we were sent in Exchange Chief Petty Officer, Mary Carr. We were forced to cease operations as we rode out a three day snow storm. For a while we were worried but managed healthful relaxation. At this time the U.F.A. Academician reactivated its banking system. In several cabins a fluorescent lighting system was set up. The Academy baseball team completed the year by winning the City Championship. . ..,-- i-.1-, I ft--ix?-'Z I I i -' , . ' -'ri' H x -.A JUNIOR VOYAGE '4- After a year's experience as Division Officer, Ruth Milne directed us on our third voyage. By this time we knew our fellow passengers better, and we elected oflicers to aid in planning our activities. Many colorful campaign posters lined the decks. Tom Clark was elected President, Vin Romanelli, Vice-President, Marianne Stysh, Secretary, and Phil Spring, Treasurer. Little did we surmise what a successful one our junior Voyage would be. In September a class was formed under the direction of Petty Officer Peter Daymont to instruct crew members in the art of driving. The Academy football team completed an undefeated season. We also had an undefeated basket- ball team. At the openng of the 1948 baseball season, however, Petty Ofiicer Francis Klein resigned as coach of the team to the disappointment of the entire passenger list. At the opening of the base- ball season Petty Ofhcer Grestl emerged with a very good season-ten wins and one loss. Our home port, Utica, celebrated its one hundred and fiftieth anniversary by sponsoring a contest dealing with some event of the port's life. Crew members of the U.F.A. Academician cap- tured seventeen out of twenty-six prizes. These were awarded for essays, dioramas and art work. The Ship's Council sponsored two Shakespearian plays, A Midsummer Night's Dream and The Taming of the Shrew, which was very entertaining. It also presented a magician's show to provide funds for little gold footballs for the champion teami In june we held our junior Prom in the Utica room on board the ship. The Gold Rush was the theme, and the room was decorated to represent the era of westward pioneer days. SENIOR VOYAGE We began our last voyage by electing our ofiicers. Paul Brown was chosen President, Ann Allen, Vice-Presidentg and Sheila McGinty, Secretary. Our football team completed a fairly successful season, but unfortunately was defeated by Rome. The National Honor Society held in the audi- torium its semi-annual Induction Assembly for new members. On December 19, the A Cappella Choir sang a program of Christmas Carols over C.B.S. on a coast to coast hook up. There was unanimous rejoicing aboard at the dedication of the new gym- im-Iasugm djanuary 12. In their first game there the basketball team triumphed over New art or . However, the end of our cruise was drawing near. The passengers presented the Senior Play Who's Batty Now? in high style, and the comedy highly entertained the audience. This Class Night affair was a prelude to the final senior week of festivities. Although it was inaugurated on a serious note with the Upson Oration Contest, the Senior Banquet brought fun and laughterl The solemnity and grandeur of Commencement hovered over us and lingered in our memories as the nostalgic gaiety of the Senior Ball enveloped us.

Frank Kalin, president of Kalin's Advertising Agency, is taking a short Bermuda vacation. It seems, however, that he is not dropping his work altogether, for with him are his two secretaries, Norma Huyck and Rose Pitera. As the crowds become denser, we move below deck, and see what's going on down there. The large room to the left there is the ship's gallery or kitchen. There are Frank Robertello and jack Cookingham, the chefs, hard at work. Oh, is that Bruce Gadsby sitting there? Oh, yes, we recognize his laugh. Who would have thought that he would have turned into a jovial chief chef for a large ship! That small room off the kitchen is the head dietician's ofiice. Doesn't Elizabeth Bragg look nice in her white uniform? I'll bet she makes a good dietician too. Isn't this lounge beautiful? So cozy and yet luxurious! It was planned by Sue Lux and Loretta Constantine, famous interior decorators. The smartly dressed woman in black at the right is Sue. She's talking with Bill Thomas, Republican candidate for governor of New York State. Bill hasn't lost his sense of humor for his right hand man, john Durgee, seems to be literally doubling over at one of his remarks. Let's find a table and sit down for a while. Why, there are john D. Lanzek and james Parker of the famous Lanzek Parker Aircraft Manufacturing Company. They are going to South America to supervise the building of a new plant. Bob Kenyon, the renowned aircraft designer, is talking with them. That attracive brunette is Phyllis LaMonte, noted child nurse. She's accompanying her sister Betty on their yearly vacation. Betty has just published her sixtieth volume of poetry, Purple Pansies. It appears as though all the sportsmen on the ship are conferring on our right. Arveda Liedtke is on her way to the Olympic Games. Clockwise around the table are Frank Loin and joseph Lindacher, professional baseball players, and Mead Parce who just coached the Colgate University basketball team in an undefeated season. Lorraine Hagues, fashion designer, and Pat Potasiewicz, beautician, are on their way to Paris to attend a fashion show. Tom O'Toole, Russell Price, and Clifford jurkowski, Wall Street brokers, are traveling to Europe for a short vacation. Lila jacobson,Vice-President of Lord and Taylor,is conferring with her secretaries,Elaine Lastowski and Carol Paul, over final directions to the office staff. Miss Jacobson is bound for Rio de janeiro. jean O'Neil has just been awarded a medal for bravery beyond the line of duty. She warned almost one hundred fifty guests in the Bellevue Hotel of fire. Speaking of prizes, Norman Hamlett was just given an award by jane Kronmiller, editor of Good Houskeepingn for the lovely covers he designed for that magazine. Above the din comes the resonant voice of james Hagues, President of Squibb Company, and his assistants, Joyce Hockney and Annie Korrie, are talking over the latest scientific developments with Donna Hannigan, noted woman veterinarian. jim is introducing them to Lois Hawks, renowned research chemist and arecent win- ner of the Nobel Prize in Chemistry. Lois is on her way abroad to receive this coveted award. We're going to be entertained by Dorothy Kaido's Singing Sisters. The group, consisting of Beverly Julian, Dolores Dodge, Pollee Slimm, Dorothy Dzudzic, jean Casey, Theresa jones, and Felicia Kudla, has been starring recently on the International Television System. We understand they are going to tour Europe. The lights dim . . . everything is still except for the familiar strains of the old songs we remember so well, and we are carried through the nebulous mist to the present. The whistles blow, the loud speakers blare, All ashore that's going ashore. The crowd surges to the rail, the little tug Puffs its way out into the blue ocean and we're off! - i' 'F' 1 1 Q x . .

Its main goal is to do away with the generally accepted idea that Latin is a dead language. Through various programs the club presents interesting sidelights on Roman life of long ago. One of the highspots of this year was a program on Catullus, the poet. The Virgil class told of his life, the people who influenced him, and quoted from his works. OFFICERS Robert Zechnich . .

A. that offers an opportunity to its members to further their classroom interests is Le Cercle Francais. At its meetings students improve their knowledge of French civilization, history, and language. Occasional quiz games with grab bag prizes afford added interest. One of the meetings this year featured a speech by Mrs. Sierak, a French war bride who came to Utica. She told of her experiences and then answered questions of the members. Slide pictures of Paris were shown at another meeting. Refreshments give added enjoyment to the meetings. With such a club as this future international relations seem brighter.

The meetings, held' every second and fourth Thursday, are devoted to projects and demonstrations of interest to science students. An illustrated article has been written by the members for the magazine of the New York State Science Teachers. Field trips are frequently taken for the purpose of seeing various scientific pro- cesses in action. These events stimulate the interest and develop skill in the members. OFFICERS I Thomas Clark .

Contests and field trips are greatly enjoyed by members during the year. The pen pals are a newly formed branch of this club. Many friendships have been made with students in England as a result of Miss Nelson's year of teaching in Manchester. Books of different types are being sent to Manchester to better the understanding of American ideals. Representatives will be sent to the International Forum for Youth in collaboration with the Herald-Tribune in New York City. Prize winning students will attend the U. N. if it is held in New York City. Through the club's activities the members learn to appreciate their own community and the surrounding world. ns:- fa fix W as X K OFFICERS David Ehart Preszdent erryann Natiella Vice Preszdent Elaine Brown Secretary Treasurer Slflllll-lL SIIIE EE CLUB H!-IDIIJ CL B The Radlo Club IS an orgamzatxon formed to further the interest of students 1n broadcastmg mcludxng such behlnd the scene ZCIIVIIICS as sound effects and produc t1on It has twenty live members, selected from all four classes by audmon and meets tw1ce a month At these meetlngs the members galn practlcal experlence ln speaktng 1nto a mncrophone and presentlng programs One of the outstandmg performances of the past year was the first broadcast from the new gym, presented by the club wlth the co operatlon of the Muslc Department The organlzatlon also mstltuted a speaklng contest w1th a prize for the best presen tatton DS ,QQ Q AQ.

Among the programs were xylophone solos by Miss Norma Stottle of the Y. W. C. A. and piano solos by Mary Lou Taylor. Also there was a jam session given at which much of the outstanding musical talent of the school and the city was presented.

These members help carry projects entrusted to them, to a successful climax. During the year this organization collects clothing and buys other necessities for the relief of needy people both here and abroad. The junior Red Cross also aids the city Community Chest drive by canvassing the school for donations, thus helping Utica reach its goal. OFFICERS ANTHONY CARDAMONE . . . .

Treasurer Many a timid freshman girl has been helped by this group of girls who strive to bridge the gap between the sophisticated seniors and the Highty freshman. The active club commonly goes by the name of The Big Sisters. With each incoming class every member is assigned to a little sister whom she helps get accustomed to high school life. An informal get-together a few days befotkelthedbeginning of a new term acquaints the newcomers with U. F. A. and introduces them to new rien s. But that is not the extent of the activities of this friendly club. Throughout the year they plan social gatherings to help the freshman girls feel at home. At Christmas time a special party is planned for the little sisters. Sigma Omicron's most important undertaking of the year was the talent show to raise money for its beneficial program.

However in the last con- test of the season the Ute's swung back into stride by trouncing their city rival, Proctor, 19-13, to capture the city championship title. The starting lineup usually included: at left and right ends respectively, Bob Thomas, tricky pass snatcher, and Benny Vaccaro or Stan Piworwarski, at tackles were big Ray Griffith and the hard-charging co- captain, Henry Wereszynski, at the guard posts, scrappy Tony DeNigro and co-captain Phil Spring, who received the Academic Observer Award as the most valuable player. At center was Arman Farmanian or Mert Smith. In the backfield were Dick Miller, big, flashy sophomore at quarter with veteran Gerry Gilberti at fullback. Speedy Dick Frank and John Schmalz, the senational triple threat man were the halfback positions. Frequent starters and also instrumental factors in bringing about Ute victories were: Benny Salkuski, Roy Bouse, brilliant defensive man, and Frank Pfisterer. Our vital substitutes on the line were Frank Hadynski, Ed Szczepanek, jack McClements, Roman Piotrowski, and Ronnie Williams. The initial game of the season saw our footballers off to a good start with a 19-6 win over Proctor. U. F. A. then journeyed to Herkimer for its first night game. Our boys saw enough light, however, to register a 18-7 win. Watertown and Oswego became the next victims of our gridiron juggernaut, but tables were finally reversed in the Whitesboro game as U. F. A. played poorly to a 14-7 loss. The team then reached its lowest ebb in Auburn, losing 39-7. However U. F. A. practically came to life in the Rome game but time ran out just as the Yellow and White began to roll back the Roman line and ended up on the short end of a 6-0 score. In their victorious final game against Proctor the Utes displayed their original class and promise with the following donning their blue and yellow uniforms for the last time: Roy Bouse, Red Wereszynski, Gerry Gilberti, Mert Smith, Benny Vaccaro, Phil Spring, Ray Griffiths, Mead Parce, Pete March, Ed Szczepanek, Tony DiNegro, Roman Piotrowki, Arman Farmanian, Fran Pfisterer and jack McClements. w 9 1 'NHL 1 .4 'EN' ff x I WV :G K, l' it... pf' 333 U F.A 50 38 49 56 51 46 44 36 SCORES Fulton . .

Calisthenics, signal drills, and pepper games comprised these indoor workouts. With many outstanding performers from last year's line-up missing, Coach Grestl faces a tremendous rebuilding job. Although the team is still in the formulative stage, prospects have been narrowed down. jack Ryan and Danny Pieloch have both shown promise at first baseg Herky Sriano seems a sure bet to be the regular second basemanxlohnny Middel and Richard Synakowski are waging a battle for the third base position. At short stop Coach Grestl must decide between the fine arm of Frank Loin and potent bat of Tom Conboy. Fran Ruskowski, who has the poise of a major leaguer, will probably be flanked in center field by reliable Ralph Hoffman and his younger brother, jimmy. Dick Miller, muscular right-hander, who won 5 and lost 0 last year, will be the mainstay of the pitching staff. Lefty jack Wittenberg and rapid Bob Thomas will round out the mound corps. Behind the plate,joe Kolba and Gerry Gilberti will share catching duties. This year's team will be out gunning for retention of the City, Central Oneida League and Section Three titles which were won last year. Whatever record they chalk up, it will be a hustling ball club and a team which the school may well be proud of. 95 TRACK The U F A Track Team thxs year under a new coach Mr jursak and wlth the first new equlp ment recexved ln several years, 15 antlclpatmg a hlghly successful season Mr ursak 15 showtng real enthusiasm IH developlng a top notch team Although at present 'here are no establxshed stars several runners much xmproved by experlence and tralnlng, have returned th1s season Among them are lettermen Fred Durdan, Al Burns, Ed Schnudt, and Tom Clark These runners are sprlnters Other veteran runners on the squad are Chet Gacek, Ed Murphy and Dan Gray, dxstance men Also several promlsxng boys who d1d well 1n Cross Country are Ed Whlte, Rog Mlller and Gordanjones In the early workouts consxderable good materlal was evrdent, to round out a fmlshed, well balanced aggregatlon Thls year s schedule sends the team to Syracuse on Apr1l 30 for the Sectlonal Relays The fol lowlng week II wtll run at Bmghamton, afterwards there are meets at Watertown and U F A The season w1ll be concluded w1th the Sectlonal Meet at Murnane Fxeld thls year Left lo Right-Front Row: E.

WHESTLI Ii The boys' bowling team, composed of Raymond Deitz, Robert Raga, Allen Bernstein, Doug Henkle, and john Czer- kies can boast of a favorable season. At the Winter Sport Carnival, our U. F. A. keglers won second place in the Section Three Class A Meet. In the City Tourna- ment, however, they rallied and won first 97 For the first time in U. F. A.'s history, under the leadership of Coach joseph -Iursak, a wrestling team was organized. Wrestling matches were held in the gym after school under the watchful eyes of a surprisingly large number of spectators. In the big meet of the year, the Winter Sport Carnival at Hamilton College, the U'. F. A. grapplers were awarded third place honors. ,sf B Il Y S ' B ll W L I E Back Row: H. Brill, A. Berstein, j.

In mid-February, before the swimming season was officially open, Coach Grestl organized his mermen to compete for the Central Oneida League and City title. It is Mr. Grestl's first year to the helm of the squad. He is succeeding Mr. Collins who is resuming coaching chores as head of the 'Rhysical Education Department. Having a nucleus of last year's swimmers and a chance to practice once a week at the Y.M.C.A., Mr. Grestl capitalized andicame up with a star-studded team. He also coached a freshmen outfit, but the lack of competition among the area schools, prevented its entering any meets. In their opening meet against Proctor, the team glided to an easy victory drubbing their city rival 30 to 16. Two more teams, Rome and New Hartford, also tasted defeat at the hands of U. F. A. aquatic men. In the Section Three Winter Carnival held at Hamilton College the team showed what they really could do against stiff competition. Besides walking off with first place honors, they established two new time records. The outstanding star of the year was Gene Canfield. He has been constantly coming in first place in the' 100 yard freestyle, ever since he became a regular on the varsity team, when he was a freshman. Captain Skip Turner and George Leyh also deserve recognition for their out- standing performances, in the butterfly and 200 yard freestyle events.

The lack of a gymnasium in September and the opening of the new one in january were con- tributing factors to the gym team's late start in getting organized. Not until the middle of March did the members get together to practice regularly. With the addition of new pieces of appratus such as the ropes, mats, horse, box, buck, and the fly rings, Mr. Collins had to start almost from scratch. The flying rings have become very popular with the U. F. A. students and they are the only ones of this type in this area. Although the Yellow and White acrobats had no duel meets until March. their performance with excellence before large crowds at the half time periods of four basketball games won great approval. In the Winter Sport Carnival held at Hamilton College, they walked off with third place honors. They also took Part in the city wide gymnastic demonstration and put on an ex- hibition performance in front of the whole school at an athletic assembly in the gym. Jack McClements, Allen Clough, and Fred Peters always had the spectator's hearts in their mouths with their daring feats. McClements was a master of the front and giant swing while Clough had the fly away down pat. Fred Peters excelled in the reverse kip up. Although the season has brught no signal triumphs to the gym team, it has laid the foundation for a successful future. 1 fyi alf A ...
