Being entirely a representative student body, subject only to the supervising authority of Mr. Eeers, it is possible for all the students to express their opinions and to unite in the interest of self-government in non-academic work. Its officers, together with the president and representatives from each room, are vested with the law-making power for V atkins Glen High School. It can, after weighing school sentiment, make or alter rules. Through the representatives chosen by each room, the results of each meeting are reported back by them to those rooms. Thus students are guided into a better understanding of elementary rules and the necessity of their existence. It employs a penalizing system but has no financial aims. Its object is to promote a democratic feeling among the students; to unite them and to develop a friendly and cooperative spirit. It is the most powerful organization of the school. | LjO------------------------------------- I H 0 FIRST ROW: Freudenheim; O'dell; Nitche; Osterhoudt; Nitche; Wright; Werman; Bell,E.-.

These committees are separate units, each working in conjunction with the others to encourage participation in student activities. The most important of these committees include the Visual Education Committee, the Attendance Committee, and the Monitor's and Ushers Committee. The Visual Education Committee is mainly concerned in securing and showing various films in which any class or school organization may be interested. The Attendance Committee, under Mr. Munson, checks and records the daily attendance, and also keeps a class record of every high school student. This committee Is deserving of much praise for Its work requires a great deal of time and its tasks are never ending. In order to reduce generel disorder and confusion throughout the school building, the monitors and ushers committees are in permanent operation. Through the gradual interest and Improvement in these various committees, we hope to obtain a closer contact between school and students and to wake every person feel that he Is doing his part in promoting greater school spirit.

Apr. 24 May June Class of 40 linds itself with very little money but unbounded hopes. Ann Considine outlawed from study hall, because of angora sweater. Class begins course in Cafeteria Management. Election Day dinner success despite harmony (?) in kitchen. In walks glamor with Sophie Werman and long bob—Oh boyl Kelly heard praying, Dear God, we thank thee for this structure of bricks and glass and hard wood floors. We thank thee for the opportunities that thou has given us—but please, oh Lord, make Christmas vacation come soon! Merscher’s lungs collapse as result of blowing up balloons for Senior Ball. Balloons also collapse. Study hall in uproar because of report cards—Mr. Timms sad but smiling. Hollywood beckons when Kelly calls Essie by real name in Senior Play. Such talent, such agility, such-? Wander-lustl Why doesn’t somebody sue the Pennsy Railroad—class changes color in one short dayl Cassidy seen climbing out hotel window—whither bound, kid? It rainedl Stillman advocates correct English in Abbey contest. One Senior overheard saying, It ain t fair—gee whiz, there ain’t never been nothing so disregrading before like this. Senior study hall vacant on Friday afternoons. Mr. Timms past the wondering stage and stumbling wearily on conclusion--somebody must be skippingl Seniors practice up for Graduation to the tune of Hail and Farewell, dear companions —Many tears, many laughs and many memories. hH0----- ------is NAME IS ALLEN The still water that runs deep EARRETT Quiet BARTONE Cute BELL, G A chatterbox EELL, M Best skipper BERARDINE A song bird LERRY Tempermental EIXBY Sensitive BRIMMER Never alone BURFELL Sentimental CARPENTER Studious CASSIDY Play boy CLAWSON Tall dc slender CONSIDINE Glamorous DEMUNN, A Attractive to the boys DEMUNN, J A slugger DRAUS Always talking EISENHART Tres petite EVANS One half FANTON A tumbler FAZARRI Plenty short GREEN Bashful HOMMEL Full of bright ideas HUSTON Quiet boy JAMES A fisherman KELLY Music mad KING, M Swell KING, P What-a-man KOTSONES Always on the go lendrum A giggler LITTEER Intelligent MALONEY Msster-mind KARAFIOTI Sports woman MARSH Valois playboy KERCHER Gum chewer MILLER, C A half pint MILLER, M Taller than some MORSE people believe A live wire OSTSRHOUDT A dancer OWENS An athelete PALMER The other half PARSONS A lover of Macbeth THINKS HE IS A devil Shy Small Full of the devil Always going to get caught Sentimentax Who knows A tough guy Unknown Hard boiled A walking I.

Well, It was then that the Sophomores dragged themselves back within the protecting walls of their Alma Hater armed with nothing but a year's previous experience as Freshmen. Hie class decided to organize and under the watchful, but despairing eyes of Mr. Beers and Subby Chlcone, a riotous meeting was held. It was dismissed, but at a second attempt, Milton Tlchenor was elected President, Virginia Arnold Vice President, and Slug tMurphy Secretary. Bill Smith and Jimmy Beardsley were appointed Business Manager and Treasurer, respectively, by the faculty. We selected Mrs. LaMoreaux to guide us and to give us some of her pep. At the opening of the football season, Gordon Tichenor and Rocco Scaptura lent their voices, sometimes their abilities in all the skirmishes. Welcome additions to our number were Lillian Cook and Fifi Ohl, both of whom are noted for their dancing. With the cooperation of the entire class the Sophomore Hop was made a success and the Sophomores as a whole were initiated into the three-year struggle of raising a Washington Fund. Flossie Fordham and Anne Robinson have shone during the past year in girls’ sports and have been active in the G. A. A. We all know by now that Rosie Maori has earned her reputation as one of the best sports in W. G. H. S.; that Kate Teeraley is following in her sister’s footsteps in being one of the most dated girls in Watkins. Wayne Dunbar and Dick Eisenhart have recently distinguished themselves by the acquisition of pipes. It is generally agreed that John Quirk should be official Class Arguer; that Alice Haramis should be recognized as Class Man-Hater (or should she?) and Bob Mitchell as Class Wit. Charlotte Tobey and Lena Zammett are the brains of the class, although the Sophomores have had a good representation on the Honor Roll. We are now looking forward to the annual class picnic which this year will be held at Enfield Glen. Be seeing you again next year and in 42. Woo!

A few of the Freshman boys made the Junior Varsity; now some of them are practicing for the baseball team. As yet we have had only one class meeting but in the near iuture we hope to have another. We also plan to have a class picnic and Freshman Field Day under the supervision of Mr. Carman. The most important clubs in which Freshmen participated were the Science Club, the Bird Club and the Homemaking Club.

In the seventh grade we started passing from class to class. At first we were all mixed up and in the confusion we frequently found ourselves in dutch with the monitors. We� ve been having a little high school work in our Junior High years. The subjects we took were art, homemaking (girls), and shop (boys). In the eighth grade Mrs. Hunt gave us a useful course in guidance. We are looking forward to the time when we shall be able to give dances, plays, join clubs, participate in sports, and elect our class officers. Vie wish to thank our teachers for their cooperation and the Seniors for letting us use this space in their Oracle to express ourselves. Grade 8-Y In the knowledge that this year-book would not be complete without a short history of Junior High, especially Miss Littell's 8-y, we shall endeavor to make our contribution. Last December we decided to produce a play to raise money for a set of encyclopedias. IVe chose In the Corner Cupboard , a light comedy-drama. For the parts we chose students from both seventh and eighth grades. Vie had a good turnout and we were able to get our books• Before the Christmas holidays we had a party. A merry time was had by all. In March, we again put on a play, this time just for the experience. Hie play, Hie Knave of Hearts , was short and humorous. We had fun doing it and hope everyone had as much fun seeing it. Our last big event will be our class picnic where we plan to consume a large amount of food. We are eager to advance to higher grades in High School but we regret leaving our chums and teachers on the second floor. nno i n°------- Grade 7-x School is an opportunity for learning—not an opportunity for wasting your time. Hie first day we entered kindergarten we accepted a huge responsibility. As the grades went by, our responsibilities grew much larger. Now we are in the seventh grade, and as the class of 45 we are very proud to be included in the year book as no other seventh grade has had that privilege. In December 1939 the English classes of the seventh and eighth grades gave a play entitled MIn the Corner Cupboard. We all were very proud of Bernice Smith s acting. For Science our class made gardens and it was a very interesting activity. We made cactus gardens, bottle gardens, and many other kinds. James Bates won first prize in the Natural History exhibit for his bottle garden in the hobby fair. In Social Studies we made scrap books, posters, graphs and many other interesting things. Grade 7-y V.e, of the seventh grades and the seniors of 1945 are overjoyed to find that our activities are to be published in the senior year book by the class of 1940. We are honored to be included in this publication for it is very seldom that the upper-classmen deem our activities of sufficient importance to be noticed. However, while we do not elect class officers or promote dances, we do have many activities of importance to us. Some of these activities are our participation in the athletic demonstration and programs for the Parent-Teachers meetings. We also assisted the eighth grades, musically, with their play, the proceeds of which were used for the purchase of a set of encyclopedias. We have been glad to do our bit and are awaiting the time when we may take a more active part in school affairs. 6 LEADER: Mr. LaMoreaux.

Um—Just s iell that foodl Oh if 1 only had some moneyI And as we walk on down the hall we hear sweet angelic music all around us. Indeed, by dashing madly back and forth across the building we can even manage to hear the band and glee club simultaneously! Well—almost! Stopping next to peer into the door of another room, we find the Science Club hard at work—creating some new formula, no doubt 1 My, hov; brilliant they must be! While going downstairs we crash headlong into the Journalistic Club which is all wrapped up in gathering bits of news about the campus belles and beaus. But they really do work hardl It's no fun tearing your hair out by the handfuls trying to think of bright things to write about—just ask this Year book Staffl While standing idly around marveling at such talent, we hear a terrific shriek and dash downstairs to the Homemaking Department. Horrors! what a sight meets our eyes. Can it be that someone has actually been pinned fast in that Paris creation? And who dumped that dye out the window? Shame! After further investigation throughout the building, we rest our weary bones and brains by gazing wistfully out the window--oh, for the life of a wanderer1 Say, where are those guys going? Skippin' out, huh? Oh, no, it's just the Bird Club out for a prowl around the country side. As we stand there, silently, sadly, and so uospairingly, we cannot help but envy them their freedom—they who know the taste of fresh air and can watch the fluttering of the birds and hear the ripple of their sweet music!

Her- Clawson; football Ihe football team this year was greatly handicapped by the shortage of man power, having at no time during the season even two complete teams. Although the team did not win aiy •ames, it, nevertheless, gave every foe stiff competition and went down fighting . The shortage of players was especially notlcable at Waverly, where four complete Waverly teams were oh the field to the one from Watkins Glen. George Scaptura was elected captain at the start of the season and upheld this honor by playing outstanding ball in all the games. Charlie Jackson, Dominick Tomassl and Kenny Hay were stalwarts on the line all season. Walt Smith, Walt Tillman and Sam Schimlzzi also proved to be ood, steady linemen. Kerb Cassidy and Harold Waite played an especially good brand of ball in the Waverly and Painted Post games. Bob James, who acted as quarterback, turned in a fine running performance in the final game against Korseheads. Watkins Glen had Cassidy placed on the all-]sa uesecond team, while captain Scaptura, Jackson, I.Iay, Tomassl and Waite received honorable mention. The schedule of games was as ioi'.ows: Watkins at Penn Yan; Watkins at Painted Post; Watkins at Heights; Owego at Watkins; Watkins at Waverly; and Horseheads at Watkins.

Watkins Glen, with over half the varsity first year men, has come out on the short end of the score in all three games. However, the boys have made steady progress playing better ball with each game. Jack Herrick, stellar first baseman, was elected captain at the start of the season. The pitching rolls have fallen on the shoulders of herb Cassidy, John Gaven, and Steve Law-ton, while Rhody Stevens has done the catching. Bernie Bariie,, Don Smith, Pig'-y Cher-ock, Ray Patterson, and Nine” Chicone have played fine ball. The team has shown plenty of fight and, win or lose, it promises to fill every game with lest of action, and be a major threat in the league through out the season. °[ 0--------------------------------------I H0 FRONT ROW: V eea; Del Rosso; Smith; Kerrick; L’arile; Patterson; James.

Jack Kerrick, who was elected captain, was the only letter man on the squad. Bowever the boys made up for the lack of experience in fight aggresiveness arrd team work. The team dropped the first two league games to Korseheads and Waverly, and not until the second half of the Montour game did the Watkins cagemen exhibit some of their potential power. In this game the team entered the second half, ei it points down, but during the last quarter forged ahead and won going away. Starting with the Montour game the Glen quintet went on a rampage and won eight contests including a non-league tilt with Interlaken, before losing to a hot” Heights outfit by a two point margin. In this string of victories the Watkins cagers made a clean sweep of the league, and were the only team to beat Korseheads. Scoring stars of the season were; Coly Herrick, who tossed 119 points through the hoop to lead the league in total points, and forward, Dory” Weed. Barile and Smith thrilled all with their sparkling defensive play. The first five was composed of; Herrick, Barile, Weed, Smith and James. Captain Her-riCK received a position at the forward berth on the all-leagues first team. Weed, Barile, Smith, and James received honorable mention.

Don t make the mistake you made one Wednesday afternoon when you lost your way and took a right turn Instead of a left on third floor. Ah, our heavy readers. What were the books Mr. Timms took away from you in Study Hall? Famous Funnies or Master Detective? There go Essie, Polly and Martha, mmmrammm, who was it that said, V e must all hang together or assuredly we shall all hang separately?” The Age of Chivalry got a shot in the arm when the boys quartet gave Mary Tobey a corsage of roses—did they think of it themselves or were they jogged? Jack have you found Lillian yet? Monica, you know you had the right idea when you told Celie Simile that he had no respect for a woman at all. That can be applied to others besides Celie. Dougie, how are you coming with your canoe? Do you think Miss Francois will weaken under your selling ability? Ah—Kelly1 It's getting warmer. How s about de-mothing the grass skirt and wearing that for a change? Give your corduroys a rest. Poor Murphy. You know Bob, the only thing I can suggest is that the school install ar. esculator or you get a wheel barrow. One or the other. Then it would be almost impossible for you to continually drop your books on the stairs. What do you say? Maybe with the esculator Owen Cassidy could improve his technique on getting to first period class on time—yet again, maybe it would spoil that late entrance. Ah—our generous fishermen. Did you all hear how Bill Beardsley and Steve Lawton caught too many suckers and then generously distributed them on the porches of unsuspecting citizens? To make it interesting though.

Dirty faces, rumpled clothes but happy with the thought of eventful days to come. A dash for rooms and closet space and still a greater dash for the bathtub, angry voices calling out for more privacy and less noise, melodious singing and then silence.- Dinner to the tune of Southern fried chicken and ice cream, breakfast to the tune of ,f0h. How I Hate To Get Up in the Morning and lunch to the tune of almost anything. We didn’t get much sleep--Herb Cassidy sang far into the night and the ventilators carried every note, both bad and good. Then too, we couldn’t find the beds—the mattresses were light, and were easily tossed out the windows and the sheets made lovely togas for 3 o’clock ghost visits. The climax came when Mr. Timms found Johnny Wait out in the corridor at 2 o’clock one morning all wrapped up in a blanket and imitating a Saint 3ernard dog.-One minute later came the catastrophe—Saint Bernard dog seen galloping into room with Mr. Timms close behind. The days brought on severe attacks of eye-strain from too much sight-seeing and too little sleep the night before. Mrs. Allen tired everyone out with her never failing endurance and an enormous appetite for sea food. Then too, the boys were slightly under the weather due to a strange drink known as Vltalis and Bay Rum” and the calls for Bromo Seltzer amazed the desk clerk. Kitty found a cousin and the class woke up next morning with stiff necks from too much looking. Somebody ordered a small bottle of ginger ale and eight glasses and the desk clerk got mad. Rosemary peeked in key holes and got caught, and Polly got locked out in the hall. June Teed got up Easter Sunday morning and went to the Sunrise service and the rest of the class groaned and went back to sleep. Thus back to our nice clean Pennsy Train and the hotel employees came to the station to give three cheers. Sophie got mad at the Brakeman and he got mad at everybody. Essie was disgusted because no one was in tune on the harmonizing and then I got tired and went to sleep. r PUnographod by JOHN S SWIFT COMPANY. INC Now York • Chicago - St Louil - Cincinnati
