B of the School X THE BATAVIA HIGH SCHOOL. HE Batavia High School, formerly known as the Batavia Union School, was erected in 1873, at a cost of S1'75,000. At that time, in beauty of design it was considered superior to any structure in Genesee County. Its location, on one of the highest sites in the vicinity, was, at the time of its erection on the outskirts of the village, but svince then, Batavia has grown, till it now stands almost in the heart of the town. Its campus, at the present time, beautiful with ornamental trees, was then an open field, approached by a narrow alley, now Ross Street. At some time previous to its erection, three of the school dvistriets of the village were absorbed by a school, which stood on School Street, and which came to be known as the Batavia Union School. This school proved to be too small to accommodate the four united districts, so the present Ross Street school was erected. At first this was the only school in town, being both a high school and a grammar school. Gradually various grammar schools have been built throughout the town, till now, the entire building, except two rooms, is devoted to high school work. Various improvements have been made upon the high school from time to time, such as the introduction of an up-to-date laboratory and the addition of fire escapes. The benefit the people of Batavia have derived from this building is inestimable and it has long been one of the most handsome structures in Batavia. - ' ,, A ',,.,g,,. 4 Y it I I UPEHIXTE NDICNT KENNEDY has been in charge of the schools of Batavia since October, 1891, Previous to coming here he was engaged in conducting teachers, institutes for the State Department at Albany. He conducted institutes in every county in the state, and conducted the Genesee County institute half a dozen times. His educational work previous to that' was as principal of the high school at Colesburg, Iowa, and county superintendent of schools' of Del- aware County, Iowa. He is the author of the following published works: The Philosophy of School Disciplinef' 'The School and the Fainilyf, What Words Say, MA' :Stem Dictionary, Robert Morris and 'tThe Genesee Countyf' Among the contributions to practical education associated with his name are the requirement that grade teachers shall be either normal or col- lege graduates and that high school teachers shall be college graduates, and the introduction of individual instruction into the schools. To us, the Class of 1912,'i Superintendent Kennedy has indeed been of the greatest influence. Through him we have been able to enjoy and make use of one of the best school systems in the world. From the day of our enroll- ment in the primary to the day of our graduation we have been taught ac- cording to his idea of modern education and individual instruction. To Superintendent Kennedy the Class of 1912 expresses its most sincere gratitude. ' M LWlN A. l..Xl?1!, l'h. IX., priniipal ol' the Batavia lligh School, was born in mfbswego County. N. Y., attciuh-il the . Central Square l-ligh School and was graduated from Cornell University in 18515, with the degree of Ph. R. He was principal at Alexander. N. Y. two years, at Bergen, N. Y. four years. ln 1902 he accepted the princi- palship qt the Batavia High School, where he has swf-essful supervised for the past ten years. enjoying the most satisfactory relations with students and faculty. As a principal and teacher, Mr. Ladd has proyen himself to be a man of exceptional ability and has exercised his ollice in a manner J which had resulted in gaining for him the respect and admiration of all with whom he came in contact. Witlrall his other duties, Mr. Ladd has always taken an aetiye and appreciative interest in athletics and the many social functions which have from time to time brought'the name of the Batavia High School before the public eye. The Class of 1912, takes this opportunity to express its goodwill toward Mr. Ladd, its deep appreciation of his efforts and his sincere interest in our welfare, and wish him perpetual success. To the Class of 1912, he will always be. 'The most capable ot school mastersf, M 4 . .,-.-, 31909 1909 1907 1908 1902 1909 1910 1910 1909 1908 1911 1890 1910 1911 1911 ii 'Iva 1' FACULTY.

AY' HERE is probably no other high school in the country where so many in- centives are otlered to the ainhitious student for attaining a high average ot' scholarship as in the Batavia High School. 'l'hrough the thoughtfnlncss and generosity of the Richmond family an opportunity is offered each year to academic as well as eighth grade students to compete for any of nine separate prizes, embracing a wide scope of work, all of which are the gifts of various mcinbers of thc Richmond family. Watts L. Richmond is the present repre- sentative of the Richmond familylin Batavia, and has always taken an active interest in the work of the Batavia High School: He was W.r'r'rs L. RICHMOND. born on April 29, 1872, and for many A years was a well known civil. engineer. Mr. Richmond came to Batavia from Buffalo, in 1903, and vin 1910, began the giving of prizes in all the departments of public school art. Each year Mr. Richmond awards eight handsome books for the best work in the annual art exhibit. Four of these 'prizes go to high school students and one in the eighth grade. Last year another prize was founded by Mr. Richmond ,-the gold watch offered annually to the graduate attaining the best averageduring the four years' course in mathematics. The first Richmond prize was that founded in 1895, by the late E. G. Richmond,-a gold medal for the best standing of the year in the high school course pursued. In 1907, under a provision in the will of the late Adelaide Richmond Kenny, the awarding of three prize medals was begun. One of these is given in the name'of Miss Kennyts father, the late Dean Richmond, for the best general standing for the year in subjects other than classical. Another is in the name of Miss Kenny's mother, the late Mary E. Richmond, and is for the best standing of the year in the grade next below the high school. The third medal is bestowed by Miss Kenny her- self, for the highest general standing in classical subjects. All of the prizes except those in drawing are awarded annually at the Commencement exercises by Mr. Watts L. Richmond. Aside from the above mentioned prizes there is annually awarded the Byron E. Huntley prizes of S25 and 21915 in gold, to the winners of the Huntley Oratorical Contest for Seniors. Daughters of the American Revolution have also founded two prizes which have been given for the past few years. One is for the best standing in eighth grade history and the other for the best standing in American History in the high school. E 1 . ' - .-:5.n,Pi.?+. ALMA MATER if UTIIE BLUE AND THE WHITE.

May this tree, nature's sym- bol of beauty, strength and grace, stand through future generations as a memorial to that life endowed with all the power, strength and noble ambitions of youth. One ma' ask of what sivnificance is the 3 s planting ol' a tree? ls it merely a cold formality and without any real meaning?

And what recollections will spring up before us? Members of the Class of 1912 will pass before our mental Vision in quick succession.

I have been visiting Isabel Prentice, who has just completed her new book on The Elevation and Developement of the Ilunian Mind. She is always so busy, almost too energetic for a maiden lady ot my un- certain years. You must have enjoyed your trip to Wash- - ington very much, especially your visit to the Senate. I do hope they pass that bill for the erection of the Art Museum. You asked in your letter it I knew what become ot' the various melnbers ot the Class ot 1912. I cithcr saw or heard of several of them while visiting in Batavia. One evening we went to hear the Rev. Lloyd B. Gale deliver a-masterful seimon on The Frivolities of Women? On the way out we nearly ran into a man who exclaimed, Bah Jove, I beg pardonft Imagine 1ny surprise in looking up to behold Ivan Dexter star- ing at us through his monocle. QYou know he has lately returned from Oxford, Englandj. Right back ot him was Lloyd Grinnel. I was simply amazed to see how meek and careworn he looked until I saw the severe looking woman who loomed forbiddingly in the background. One day I picked up an etlvition ol' the Times which is successfuily edited by Willis Broadbooks. One whole page was devoted to an advertise- ment which read, 'Tfonie early and receive a cup of our delicious 300 coffee, served by our demonstrator, Miss Florence MeElver, 'Nut Sed,' J. Burt Jones, Jr? Another advertisement read 'tMoving pictures at Dreamland, afternoon and evening, music furnished by Professor Herman Ehfvingf' On another page was a long paragraph describing the marriage o't.Thomas Uooper to a Cleveland girl, QI forget her nanieb. It seems so queer for you know 'llommy always said heid never marry. The column entitled the 'fSocial Whirl, announced that the Misses Dorothy Sherwin and Helen Parker would shortly return from abroad on the steamer Lawrence, their 'talready sweet voices having been travined to the cquisite perfection of the nightingale or larkf' There is always so much going on there for Batavia is doing itv still --that we always had a hard tvinie to decide to which place wetd go. I re- member one evening in particular when we eouldntt decide whether to go to thc dancing school conducted by Messrs. Clarence Green and Cack,' 'Rapp or to the performance given by Senors Billum Starch and Seaweed, World famous comedians. We 'finally decided in favor of the latter and were very glad 'For there we met Ward IrIaiumer. who with a beaniiug 4- -. ,,, .J-. countenance told us that he was celebrating the blm- nibbons which his pedigreed Bershires won him at the t'ounty l uir.

X Poor Wilfred Hemner. after he linished his course in George Washing- ton College he meant to try fora government position: but nthere is no place like home. so he still poses as the tallest man in ltnshyille. The other day I went to theiY. W. C. A.. of which institution Anna Bossart is now general secretary. for dinner. Pauline l'l'eii'er was tlu-re. She is justly famous :is the captain ol' the National Basketball League. Did you go to the game they played in your town last winter. Great wasn't it? Grace Hyde is coming to visit me next week. She is just back from China, where she went as missionary. Lola Hyde principal of a busi- ness school in Le Roy is trying, assisted by Mary Churchill. to induce some solid truths to stick in the heads of sundry refractory pupils. Emily Churchill, you doubtless know. is the wife of a prosperous farmer, she lives on the Byron road now. We ought to be thankful in these disturbing times to have at least some element battling against the Sutfragettes. Mildred Lowe, Lorena Cooper, Margaret and Laura Lawson, Ethel Tuttle and Florence Hunt with Evelyn Call, as chief instigator and orator, are touring the country as Anti- Suffragists, delivering lectures against smashing windows fas a general rulej and preaching that 'fWonian,s place is in the Home. Of course you knew Frances Stewart and Doris Hines had gone into partnership, conducting a shop for ladies fashionable attire. I found the prettiest hat in there. They are certainly right in style for they go to I'ris at least four times each year. The entire force is engaged just at present in designing and making Ruth Leflelds trosseau. Arerft you awfully interested sin politics this year. I am so anxious to know who will be nominated as governor, Horace Hussey or George Lawson. They have run each other down so much though lately that I have almost lost any respect or sympathy for either of them. Something like Taft and Roosevelt of a few years ago! The papers are just full of the awfnllest scandal. It-seems Langbridge Whitcombe invented a contrivance for rescuing olives out of the bottle and now Guy Patterson declares that Whitcombe infringed on his patent for the same artqiele and has brought suit against him with Harold Harris as lawyer, ' -' ' . all 'iilxgiyou know 5ny'r1nng'nmei about the members ot the class, just let Qiknow, for,I am thinking of writing a book on the famous achievements Q litwfiifttvthei Batavia I-Iiglgi Sdhool graduates.

BHOADBOUKS OUR brief and eventful years have passed since we were first ushered into the harbor of our future hopes, our pres- ent ambitions and our past remem- brances. Four years of toil have at last brought us together as graduates of a school which we should be more than proud to call our alma mater. Few of us can ever forget the occas- sions of joy and sorrow which have followed us throughout our work g-the happy friend- ships, the memorable occasions, which have made our schooldays seem only too short. When as unsophisticated and wondering freshmen, we first entered what seemed to us then as nothing-but a dark labyrinth of study and unbroken monotony, little we knew of what was in store for us. Aimlessly we wan- dered about the halls and study rooms, im-pressed by each new spectacle which presented itself. How we feared, and secretly hated, all members of that dignified group of persons whom we have learned to call our faculty, knowing' nothing of the patient and persevering nature which was concealed by a stern countenance, a knowing demeanor and a commanding voice. But, in our second year, events began to take a more lively aspect and things began to dawn upon our benumbed senses in a different light. Little by little we lost our modesty and reserved silence which had piloted us safely through our first year. But no one can tell what a stage our present situation might be in, were it not for an incident which to us com- prised the very height of romantic excitement. That parcel of individuals who were pleased to call themselves Juniors in spite of much opposition, and who persisted in displaying their school spiritv too conspicuously,-got ufiredf' as some of the older and more enlightened of our fellow students were able to inform us. We had organized some weeks before as a Sopho- more class, which, to say the least, was a distinctive mark of our awaken- ing. Some one devised a plan for announcing meetings to members by placing secret signs upon the blackboard in the study hall, which however, succeeded in informing everyone but ourselves of our whereabouts. Who can forget how some one ran off with our precious eatsv while we were holding one of our conclaves,--how some one else got mixed up with the pugilistic element of the class in attempting to interfere with our proceed- ings. But all this was as a passing thought. Our fondest hopes and ex- pectations were at last realized on the night of June 21st, 1910, when the Board of Education took otiicial recognition of organized classes in the Batavia High School. , . 'iTle'gx,, i ' In order to take advantage of such an opportunity which had lieen uu- expeetedly and somewhat reluctantly showered upon us, we decided to organize early in our junior year. Ullieeis were elected and the first officially recognized underelass was launched on the sea of education. Smooth sailing prevailed throughout the greater part ol' our junior journey until we struck a snag at the annual minslrcl show, where we oueupied box seats as the result of our labors in disposing of tickets. The calmness ol our voyage was somewhat disturbed at this juncture hy the sudden disappear- ance of our class banner. which had been lel'l unguarded on the walls ol' the theatre. Murmurs of vengeance were heard among our members for several weeks, until our lost treasure was returned as mysteriously as it had been taken. Q To recount all the pleasant and unpleasant events of our Junior year would require a reinarlcable amount of courage. Perhaps the most con- spicuous of our many achievements in the social world are to he found in the commencement festivities in which we engaged with a somewhat lavish hand. Although the gratiiication ol' our luxurious desires brought financial disaster to our treasury, no one can deny that we had the time of our livesf' Graduation appeared as a distant speck on the horizon to some of us. while to others it was less remote, and to a few, l am sorry to say, it proved but a mirage. Still we struggled onward amid the guiding induence of our instructors and have at last asseiuliled. at the end of the race for a last look at the course we have run. For seine it has been straight and smooth, others have met with an uneven and somewhat stony path, but we are all now on equal ground,-all winners of that great and priceless prize,-education. Someone has said that 'ihistory is just in the making and so may our deeds and our actions prove to future generations and may we continue throughout life, making a history for ourselves which shall be an enduring momnnent of the opportunity which we have grasped. May we always look back to the days in B. H. S. with a fond remembrance and may we never lose sight of the motto under which we departed,-'LEsse Quam Viderif' . . l'.:.m..unr.su a . , 'is f , , , , ..f'.v-g1.f'.?'fl-:aj-4' ii v 1 . , - 'n X i Q 35,1-1' 1 :a m it l -.ig 1 PBRSUNE-e f - R fr .

HISTORY HE first meeting of the Junior Class was held shortly after the opening of school. After a careful examinalvion of each member one was chosen from our number for president-a wise man of dignified aspect-one who well represented the .tendencies of his class. Next came the vice president just a minute too late for the first office. Secretary and treasurer were also chosen with care. After this it was decided to have some colors. Gold and brown were thought to be sufficiently sombre and so the brown-eyed susan, which best carried out the color scheme was made the class flower. The last business was to' choose a motto and after sufficient consideration we decided to join thexlaboring classes with the motto Labor conquers all. At the beginning of our social career we were rather modest and only indulged 'in a hay-ride party. By Christmas, however, we considered our- selves sufiieiently experienced to give a dance. Along in March we thought it was best that 'we should stop our studying for a short time and have a sleigh-ride for we remembered that wise saying, All work and no play makes Jack a dull boy,2 and the class was beginning to show the effect of hardlmental struggles. During May our boys for a short time became ex- cited by the Wild Way in which the Seniors were acting on the track so they joined them, but finally decided that they were meant to uphold the studies of the school and returned to the class room. Our last functions were a dance and picnic, Commencement Week. . CLASS PUBLICATION BOARD ' l :1HT0l'-ill-f1llil'f J. BI'l:'r Joxlcs. .TIL Assm-into lidiiors WILLIS G.
