Half a hundred strong we entered Qld B. H. S. in the autumn of 1912. Our first task after the details of organization had been completed, was to choose. a' pin. The pin selected was one which bore the seal of the State of New York, the initials lj. H. S., and our numerals, l9l6. Then we decided that we ought to do some- thing along the line of social activities. A sleighride was our first venture. A date was set, and all the details arrangedg but the weather man did not smile on us and the event was postponed. As there had been no class functions during the early part of the term, a picnic was the next thing in order. This was held at Horseshoe Lake in the early part of june and was thoroughly enjoyed by all present, especially the boys-there were three. Truly our Freshman year had not been an eventful one, but we had hopes for the future. The following September saw us as Sophomores with fewer numbers but with greater spirit. Purple and yellow pansies were selected as the class flower. Our next event was a dance which was held after the Hamburg-Batavia basket- ball game. Tt was an enjoyable affair for the few that attended it. A little later we held a sleighride-in carryalls-to Le Roy, on the night of the Le Roy- Batavia game and had a fine time in spite of the cold weather. Wfe must have been overcome with the realization of our importance as Sophomores for the social activities of the class decreased considerably during the latter part of the term. The only gathering was a picnic held at our accustomed place-Horseshoe Lake. Another year saw us back in school as juniors. VVe filled our position as such in no mean way. Qur most conspicious social activities consisted of a Halloween party held at the home of Catherine Ruger at Upton, and the com- mencement festivities in which we gratified our desires for pleasure, but com- pletely wrecked our treasury. Finally the time came when we ourselves could enjgy the diqtiuctiou of being H . 4 - , I ' 5 Seniors. VVe organized in the latter part of October with 3 mQmbe1.qhip of ,lbout f- - . , s 1 U19 UN b0Udl gdtlleflng of the season was a hayride to Fast Bethany. lhis was well patromzed and furnished everyone yvith Z1 Good time yxt Om. 6 . 1lCXt meeting we decided to change our class flower to the vellow rose On Atrbor Day we maintained the traditions of the school and planted gt tree in honor of M1- Gardner Fuller, a former principal of our High Schggl l32l Later we gave a Shaltesperian play which was a brilliant success in every way. At another meeting we decided to have a class hoolt and a stall' was elected. Commencement otlicers and committees were elected at the same time. 'l'oward the end of the term we thought we would show our class spirit and purchased some hats and banners. They were made up in the class colors, purple and gold, and were decidedly attractive, especially to the .luniors who were unable to keep their hands oft of them. llle must stop a moment and consider what the class of l9lo stands lor. XfVe have introduced two innovations into the lligh School which have given us a distinguished place in the annals of the school. ln the tirst place the Senior Class believed that the black llaccalaureate cap and gown was a garb belonging to col- leges and universities. lt is primarily their mark of distinction and should not be a part of High School life. XYe have therefore chosen a cap and gown of grey. and are a little proud to set a precedent which we trust will become an honored custom not alone in Batavia High School but throughout the land as well. Secondly, the class of l9l6 agreed to adopt a new idea in regard to its commencement program. lnstead of six speakers being chosen from among the members of the class as heretofore, we have selected two only, and Dr. Rush Rhees. President of the ljniversity of Rochester, has accepted an invitation to deliver the principal address. The class of 1916 has always stood for high ideals-for all that is worth while in student life 1 and we doubt not that, as in our school days, so in the future every member will continue to maintain that high ideal. .Xs .Xmerica has always represented opportunity, so the members of our class will ever Seize the Op- portunity -Carfc Dian:-to maintain the rights and to uphold that which is noblest, just and honorable in life's endeavors. J. Iftlfl'-l' Pozzlfridge, '16. El El Class Essay--- The New B. H. S. The ambition of every good parent should be to give the children a better education than the father or mother was able to secure. livery thoughtful parent must realize that the progress of our country is made possible only by giving each succeeding generation a better education than the one which precedes it. Furthermore, the success of every man or woman at the present time, depends almost entirely upon the education of the boy or girl in early life. Knowledge not only makes young people ambitious, but it gives them better judgment and far greater strength for the Battle of Life. And now the citizens of ltlatavia with the future of their sons and daughters at heart cannot do too much for them along educational lines. The most appreciable thing that could be done at the l33l present time would be the erection of a new high school in place of the present one which has done its duty for forty-two years. In the fall of 1872 work was begun on our present high school, which .at that time was not needed as badly 35 one is needed today. The citizens of Bagavla, nevertheless, did not hesitate to spend sixty-six thousand dollars for a etter means of educating their sons and daughters. The new building was opened on September lst, l874. The dedicatory services lasted the entire afternoon and were of unusual interest. Several noted speakers were present including .the Secretary of Regents of the University of the State of New York. The exercises of the day were closed by the President of the Board of Education, who handed the key of the building to Professor Gardner Fuller, the first principal of the school. Witli the completion of the commodious building on Ross street, it was the prevalent belief in Batavia that the school accommodations were not only greater than necessary, but also that many years would elapse before any increase would be necessary. But within fifteen years, although it may sound doubtful, the num- ber of public schools in Batavia had been increased from one to seven. For many years only the third fioor of the high school was used for acedemic work. The rest of the building was occupied by the grades and library. The first three grades and library occupied the first fioor, while the next four grades used the second. It may be news to many students in B. H. S. that for many'years the front part of the basement, known now as the 'fbook room, was the home of the janitor and his family. No doubt, the home of the janitor in the basement, twenty-five years ago, is as deep as any of us care to go into antiquityg so let us look into the future. T think that if the people of Batavia could again be controlled by a little of the spirit of 72 and also realize the value of education, we should have in our city within a year or two, a high school that would be second to none in a citv of Batavia's size. J Now let us imagine that our good citizens were about to build a school that could fulfill its motto: N1rlIi Scczrizdzf' They would surely build a high school that would be a model for others to copy, and one that would be up-to-date for many years to come, and one in which the taxpayers could feel justified and repaid for the school taxes which they pay. Such a building should be large enough to accommodate two or three times the present number of pupils The design of the new school T will leave to the architect but I will try to bring ' 5 to mind a few things which would go to make the New B.

Here should also be the manual training and domestic science departments. For economic reasons it might be a good plan to have the domestic science de- partment a near neighbor to the lunch rooms. The rest of the school would contain the study halls, class rooms, laboratories, commercial department. drawing and art departments and corridors. In order to secure proper light two or three study halls would be a necessity. The labora- tories should include small lecture rooms with tiers of seats slightly raised, and equipped with tablet arms so that the pupils could watch the demonstrations and take notes. The commercial department should be made to represent a business house to some degree. The drawing and art rooms ought to be on the north side of the school and equipped with a studio light. The corridors would offer a good place for trophy cabinets. .Ns a protection against tires the corridors and stair- ways should be made of an incombustible material. A school of this kind would not only be a great beneht to the pupils but to the city also. Prominent families would engage in business in llatavia so that their children could be educated in an unexcelled school. No doubt in recent years not a few men with prospects of locating in our city changed their minds after a certain view on the east side of Ross street had met their vision. The ac- commodations which the new school would offer would be a great incentive for boys and girls to go through high school. -X school spirit would exist which was never dreamed of in the old school. The athletic and debating teams would be Second to None and in a short time would have trophy cases full of dazzling cups. VVhen a visitor came to study or inspect the Individual Instruction System he would not need to wonder as they do now, how so brilliant an idea happened to be hatched in so old a nest. And now, as we, the class of 1916, leave the portals of B. ll. S. to take our places in the world, I am sure that not one of ns would wish another class to spend four long years in the old red school on Ross street. It is our desire that we may have the honor of being the last class to be graduated from that high school. It is also our desire that the class of 1917 may have the honor of being the first class to leave The New B, ll. Lczlluu S. illiuvr, '10, 1351 Class Poem Seated one day by my window I was weary and ill at ease As I watched a spider spinning It's web among the leaves. He spun with a gentle persistence That would suffer no defeat, Though to me it seemed a task He never could complete. The wind and the rain descended Upon its silky web And the spider hung suspended By just a tiny thread. I watched with the keenest interest To see what the spider would do And before I completed my lessons His webs had numbered two. Later in the twilight I peeped again to see And another web was broken He was working at number three. And in the early morning VVhen the air was warm and pure I saw him waiting in his house Contented, dry, secure. So methought, you little spider A lesson to us you give, That one must work and work In order that he inay live. And when defeat o'ertakes us, It's effect we must not mind, But start again with persistence Our own defects to hnd. For are we not Gods children Vtfith brain and mind and soul? And it we work and trust him He will help us reach our goal, Ccztlzcrilze Ruger, '16 l56l S rbor Day ration Planting a tree is an institution in practically all the puhlic schools of New York state. ln Batavia for as long a time as you or I can rememher the Senior class has dedicated its tree each year to someone who has passed away and whose influence for good has been impressed upon the school and upon the community. The class of 1916 has chosen to make its tree a memorial to one who was formerly principal of the high school, tiardner Fuller. Born of the Separist stock. tiardner lfullcr tirst saw light in St. Lawrence county in the days when .Xndrew -lackson was l'resident. NX'hen a young man he was graduated from NYesleyan L'niyersity and he received from that university two degrees. His entire life was spent in educational work. In 1867. Mr. Fuller hecame principal of our High School and superintendent of the village schools. This position he held for more years than any of us have lived, nearly a quarter of a century. He later became superintendent of the Batavia State School for the Blind. which office he filled as only a man of his ability could. This good man died two years ago, at the age of eighty years. .X glimpse of his life's ideals are well expressed in the words ot a distinguished clergyman, who wrote to him as follows: You have always been in my mind the ideal master-one of the few teachers dowered with the magical gift of evoking the deeper forces of personality. .Xs a master you had the genius of thoroughness and talent of inspiration beyond anyone that has ever touched my life as an educator. It is then to this great educator that we, the class of 1916, dedicate this tree. Lfohwl tifillurd, '1O. IE El The Class Prophecy l- Miss Bray. will you please go down in your department and take charge of things? There are quite a number of people who do not understand the new methods and would like to know them. lt was Principal Steele who spoke and 1 hurried away to do his bidding. It was August 10, 1941, and the day of the dedication of the new school building. As I walked along the fibre-felted corridor, fitted with all modern conveniences, l was thinking of the days when 1 had run along the halls of the dear old school which shook and re-echoed with every step. Not so with this building: not ll foot fall could be heard. It was firm as a rock, a large, gray building, which had been designed by Helen Mahaney, one of my old school pals who was now living 1371 in Newt York City and was a noted architect. The school had at last been com- pleted after so many years by the efficient contractors, Willianis 8z Gubb. As I hurried along, I thought I recognized a well-known Peggy,' and turned to see Illildred North and Marion Babbage, two of my old classmates. XNhat on earth are you doing P they both shouted at once. I'1n teaching the kindergarten here. I couldnlt bear leaving the place, after I had been here so longg so I secured a permanent position at the school. What PM have you girls been doing all these years 0h, we're speakers for Votes for Woiiieny' now and by next election we'll have the whole U. 5. turned for suffrage, without fail, they chorused. L'Well of all things! I expected yould be the president of some college by now, Marionf, Oh no. I'd always had my eye out for this kind of work. It's Marion VVard who turned out to be the college president. She always did know a lot anyhow. And the other day I heard that Ruby Beckwith had invented a new way to pound knowledge into people's heads. It worked so well that Marion engaged herf, t'That certainly is a jolt, I ejaculated. I never expected to see Ruby a teacher. I thought she would have been married long ago and all settled down. Times certainly do change. You probably have heard that Ruth Lent is still at- tending school. She certainly will be learned when she hnishes. Ruth already has a whole list of degrees after her name. She's now attending a school where she doesn't have to learn Chemistry formulas. She never did like them. Well, it there isn't Georgia Dorman and lXfIarguerite I-Iahnfl Oh girls V' shouted Georgia, just to think of meeting so many of the Class of 1916! Ilve run across so many, and every one looks the same as he did when we were here studying together, twenty-six years ago. VVhat's everyone been doing ? You mean, what have you been doing P I've been teaching school out VVest and am home on my vacation. I simply had to come back and see the school that I expected to occupy years ago, replied demure little Marguerite. UAnd was studying music at a musical college, fell in love and now am Mrs. put in Georgia, who appeared to be the same bunch of fun that she was years ago, even though she had changed her 11311115 K-VVho in the world is that man over there, strutting around in a plug hat?

Oh, I have charge of ll public playground down in New York and you'd have gray hairs too if you had as many children to keep from breaking their necks as I have. The doctor recommended ll rest: so I got El substitute and came up here, hoping to see someone. On the way up, I was sitting in the l'ullman car and when the conductor took llly ticket, l recognized her as Mary Donohue. lt quite took my breath away. But imagine my surprise. On retiring, who should fix my berth but Stanley lYilcox. I nearly feel dead b11t I managed to contain myself. He said that he had worked in a restaurant as It French chef, but had tired of it: so he had lLLlI'll6tl to making beds.

I expect they'll all come up to view the new building if they have any school spirit left. lN'ell, if here isn't lkfalter Kennedy, our track star, keeping the lunch counter! He sure is in his glory for now he can have all the sweets he wants. lYhen lYalt spied us, he hailed us and gave us some candy, cautioning us not to let the cat out of the bag. lVe finally got started again, when the breath was knocked out of me by i1 fearful crack on the back, and turning around we saw Iithel Lehmann and Helen Kauffman, smiling like two jacks-in-the-box. lNhere have you been ? they exclaimed. VVe inet so many people, but they hadn't seen a thing of you. I heard you were teaching here. laughed Helen, but why not Virgil? Do you remember how much I loved it? Ilnt now I have a class of my own. Do you remember how angry we made Miss Short because we never had our lessons and cut up so much? YI Do I? VVill I ever forget it? And what is Ifthel doing with herself? Oh, I'm matron at the poorhouse but I expect to be made matron of lN'illz1r1l next week. I think I shall like it better than the position I now occupy. Oh girls, do come here and look at this, called Ilelen. Hxvllill. on earth! Luttenton and Miner, the president and essayist of Olll' class ! We all ran over to the other side of the building to an electrical device on the wall. l59l Oh that's the cognoscophone, used to help people in learning faster. All you have to do is to lay the book under that plate, put the tube up to your head, and, presto change, you have your lesson. There's one in each room. It was invented by Tommy and Lutt, whose names you see on the plate. It certainly works well here and I understand they made their fortune out of it. The other day I was at a vaudeville in Buffalo, Ethel began, and our old classmate, Catherine Ruger, was one of the ballet dancers. I went behind the scenes after the performance and there were our old friends, Russell Bridge and Willard Degen as scene shifters. They certainly suited their positions, considering the training they received at East Pembroke that tiinefy I saw by the paper the other day that Gillons had a patent on a solvent shaving soap,', put in Helen.

VVhen I got settled in the pew, there behind the pulpit, stood Irving Call. I-Ie surely makes a fine minister and preached a very deep sermon on Agnosticism, Illaterialism and Atheismfi Doesn't it seem funny to go to the movies and see Foultridge hlms. Harry always did make me think of a movie director, said Mildred. Regina Follett married a rich man and I hear she makes a fine house- keeper, put in Chris. I always thought she'd prove a typical home-maker. VVhat do you think P said Ethel. I saw Irene Locke trimming lamps when I was driving through Bushville. They economize by having her, because she is so tall they don't have to buy laddersf' VVho is that boy over there with all those girls around him ? asked Mar- guerite. Oh that's lidward Arnold.

I was out to lrlorseshoe l.akc the other day and saw our old friend Edward Morgan. He stood on a stone in the middle of the lake' as a beacon light. His hair guided the steamers safely to harbor, llc said that it was just lately that he had taken the work up and was enjoying himself immensely. lidna lliestacott is a lawyer down in Kentucky, she continued, and she surely is making a success of it. I read an ad in a paper one day down east in which llarry Loomis adver- tised himself as being able to do all kinds of detective work, added Marion. Have you seen the latest thing out? Cassandra tlderkirk has edited a dictionary. She has devised a whole lot of new names, long and short, so that you don't have to think up names for people. l hear it has become quite a fav- orite thing in the home. lYonderful! said Georgia, but l met Lloyd fiiillard on the train the other day and he said he was selling tablets which produced a voice with great oratorical powers. He wanted to sell me some but l need tablets rather for my lingers so that l can play. I met the Crehan girls the other day. They are still here and have become 'sober. steadfast and demure' nuns. as Milton would have it, l added. I saw Vincent Brown in a department store in L'tica the other day. lle is floor walker and because of his height, can see so many people that he is used as a guide for the lost. I was in a jitney in Bushville the other day, added Marguerite, and who should be the chauffeur but Helen Feasted. l was quite amazed. Some of our girls certainly have become regular men all right, l added, and the men surely can do womens work. l heard that Ralph Nlccumber is nursemaid in some wealthy home and is getting along nicely with the children. I heard that Elizabeth Hottois and Helen llapp are both running' for mayor of Stafford and are dead enemies.

A ine crowd attended the contest, and hlled the First Baptist church to overflowing. Puffed with pride at the importance of their duties, the Junior boys served as ushers. Our H. S. orchestra, finished to a state of perfection under the excellent coaching of Professor Todd, rendered some exquisite selections. The musical talent of our High School surely was shown that night. 'fMusic hath charms to soothe the savage breast. This was the duty of the girls' and boys' glee clubs, and they certainly succeeded for when the speakers appeared no trace of savagery could be found. Eloquence equal to that of Demosthenes flowed from the lips of our silver- tongued orators. lt was wonderful to see how Gillard held the audience. His every movement was followed with intent interest. We claim that no speaker in the United States-except Luttentonm-can surpass 'limmie, and Luttenton certainly was right there the night of the Huntley. He claimed the attention of everyone the first crack out of the box by his f'0flIZlL'd gesture, and held it -something which proves his ability. liveryone was satisfied with the outcome of the contest especially with the treats by Lut afterwards. Wfe are sure that if every contest in the future is as good as the one of 1916 there will be no reason for complaint. IV. Dvgmz, 'I6.

During our first year the only notable thing we did, besides pay our dues, was to conduct a sleighride to Attica. T think everyone, but the boys, enjoyed it immensely. There was a small fly in the ointment for them, however, as We went slightly in the Hholef' Qur second year was uneventful, except for the profitable fact that we con- tinued to gain in dues. This year we have quite out-done ourselves. We won the greatest number of points in the Basketball ticket contest and thereby captured the big banner, which now bears our numerals and graces the rear of our study hall high above the heads of all tSeniorj beholders. Next we went in as a class to help skin LeRoy. VVe are proud of this business venture because we swelled our fast growing treasury to the tune of sixty cents. Feeling quite prosperous after this amazing success we decided to travel some more. So we made arrangements for a strawride to the suburbs of Byron, in other words, South Byron. Neverthe- less, we did not travel a Uprimrose pathf, Some worthy members of the class had cold feet and did not follow the crowd. Next the weather man turned traitor and dished up a somewhat damp evening. Therefore we resorted to the railroad for transportation. We never realized how fond our friends, the seniors, were until we arrived at the station and found them there ready to wish us God speed. Though this may seem somewhat slanderous, it is the common opinion, we could have managed just as well without them, Possibly some of the seniors formed a little too intimate acquaintance with the station detective. We hope so. Hut opposition only increased our zeal. You ask anyone 'who went what kind of a. time we had. Maybe our worthy president isn't as strong for gas stores as formerly but he enjoyed his little notoriety nevertheless. And the eats were the best ever. This proves that boys can plan just as good things to eat as girls, for we disregarded precedent and had the gentlemen bring the goods and the ladies pay for the ride. Mr. Corti gave a recital on the return trip and was presented with eight cents by his appreciative audience. Miss Hunn chapped and sure was a good sport. .Xlthouffh we went into debt slioel tl trip was surely worth it. C s g 1 y, our f , , it - 1 V it I . , I Ni e have some bees in out bonnets, for this june, but nothing definite, Heres to the future of the class of '17, may it shine with ever increasing . . b brilliance !

When we organized, the following were chosen as officers: President, Stuart Shibley, Vice-President, Allegra Hamilton, Treasurer, Marian Griswold, Secretary, Rhena Templeton. Of course we had to try our chance at a sleighride. Nothing much was ever reported concerning it and our treasury was not quite so full after it. This year we came back decreased slightly in numbers but as good as ever. Our officers were: President, Daniel Webster, Vice President, Helen Temple- man, Secretary, joseph Ferrara, Treasurer, Frances Minor. Again we had a sleighride, this time to Le Roy at the time of the great basketball game there. If any one is to believe even halt of the reports, those who went surely had a good time. You see We haven't done much yet but Wait until we are Seniors and then IfVatch Us. flllcgra f. E.

The room was tilled. Mr. Auxier called the meeting to order and said that hrst we must elect orhcers for the year. The following were chosen: Harry MacLean, ldresidentg Zella Bridge. Yice-President: Helen Grace. Secretary, and .Xrthur Marshall, Treasurer. Com- mittees for selecting the class pin and drawing up the by-laws were appointed. Orange and Black were chosen for the class colors. At the next meeting the by-laws were adopted. .X committee, appointed to arrange for a sleighride, decided that we should go to Le Roy for the basketball game. The money was taken from the treasury and no charge was made for the class members. At this meeting the class pin was chosen and soon it was being worn by many of the members. Although the class of 1919 has not had many social affairs it is right there in spirit. There are forty members in the class. The Freshmen were the first to get arm-bands. These are shaped in the form of a shield of orange felt with black numerals '19. The treasury of the class is in exceptionally good condition. We don't run the risk of going into the hole as some rather foolish ones do. During commencement week 'we intend to hold a picnic although the date and place are not detinitely decided. VVe hope it is not too boastful to say that we mean to do things while we are in High School. - Hurry ll1nrl.vtz11, '19. 1691 The War Between Sense and Soul ,Tis war, and yet it brings no fear, Qft absent, present, always near, Like rays of light it shines and dies, ,Tis war! and yet there are no cries! 'Tis war, and yet it brings us peace, It bids all strife and tuinult cease, Now, light grows dim and Chaos reigns, Now, light flares up, no one complains. 'Tis war, the clouds of which are dense, And now we see the soul, now sense, 'Tis waged within us and around Nor sense, nor soul will soon be downed. But yet, as days and years go by, lt seems that sense will sonietinie lie llathed in life blood, a vanquished foe, And soul forever its beauty show. E. f. l'V1ziitma11i, 'IS s l70l f Bvhating THE DEBATJNG TEAM F. HAROLD KELLY Captain Debating Yknnz E731 Debating Last year Batavia put up a crack debating team and won the League cup in three straight victories. This year the team started out with the determination to keep the University of Rochester Cup in the possession of Batavia. And it was not throught any fault of the team, nor the alternates, nor the coach, that Westfield won the cup. Last year it was hard work to get a team. This year debating was a success. At the beginning of the school year, Mr. Todd started the foundations of a team-and he started it right. About twenty turned out for debating and they made such progress that when the try-out came for the team the judges had a hard time choosing between the contestants. The judges-Miss Hunn, Miss Farrall and Mr. Fritsch of the faculty-selected as the first team: F. H. Kelly, I. Russell Bridge and Frank Casey. The first debate of the year was between the first and second teams and it was attended by a large number of the members of the Literary Society. Due to unfortunate circumstances Cook of the second team was unable to be present and john Curtis and Theodore Robinson were forced to face the first team. The brst team won by a vote of the Literary Society, but the debate was close and the refutation was especially good. Captain Kelly and Robinson of the first and second teams, respectively, were the stars of the evening in reifutation. Kellyys refutation was probably the best he ever gave in any debate. But the first real debate of the year took place on the Sth of january. The question was the same as the debate with the second team- Military Training in the High Schools of the United States. Batavia went up against the strongest team in Western New York-the championship team of 'l5-and the Affirmative WON. We donit know how we did it, but we did. The Alumni team was com- posed of seasoned veterans: R. MacMahon, C. Carson of the Y.M.C.A., and E. Ladd of Cornell University. Batavia's team was composed of Captain F. H. Kelly, R. Bridge and F. Casey. T. Robinson and J. Curtis were alternates. The judges for the debate wereillflessrs. Dunham, 'Waterman and Coon. Mr. Todd was timekeeper and Mr. Meyer presided. The next debate was with North Tonawanda. It was the first league debate we had and we were nervous even if we had beaten the Alumni. The team was first composed of T. Robinson, Robert Cacner and Captain F. H. Kelly, but Robinson dropped out before the debate and Casey took his place and Bridge took the place of alternate. Why go into details? We won. Mr. Todd sure knows how to train a debating team!

This year it has played a larger part than ever. It started out by having a greater membership than was ever known before, and in accordance with the rule Qthe more the '1fl'16'V7'fC7'j our meetings were full of vim. Qne thing which the Associa- tion was successful in this year was the A. A. dance. lf you don't believe it was a success you ought to have been there. Those engaged in sliding around on the floor were slightly peeved when the music ceased at 3 230 a. m., and the good nights were said. This is the First dance in a long time which has been a financial success. At one of the meetings it was decided to award the cheer leaders, Mr. Douglas Judd and Miss Lucile Dunham, sweaters for their faithful attendance, at every game and other places where they were needed. The basketball and football teams were also awarded 'sweaters and jerseys respectively, for their services during the year. VVe think it is a good plan giving the teams something in return for their services. This will stimulate rivalry for places on the teams and that, as any coach will tell you, is the life of a team. The last thing which the A. A. undertook to do this year was to choose uniform Bls. They have been needed a long time. A committee was appointed to look the matter up and it will undoubtedly become a rule of the Association in 1917. For a long time different shaped B's have been awarded to the different teams. It has caused considerable confusion on the part of outsiders and has given a line chance for impostors to wear B's when they have not earned them. Is this fair to the fellows of the High School who have worked hard for them? We hope the committee will think earnestly of this matter and not forget to report when the A. A. opens up next fall. Ralph H. Torwzsezzd, '16. i301 S ilhlnthaill THE FOOTBALL TEAM RAYMOND lismas Captain fbylbnff Ykfzm l33I Football 011 a night in September, Captain Estes, with but three veterans and no coach, called for candidates for the Football Team. Responding to his call came about 20 athletesg some were tall, some were short, some were heavy and some were light. From these Captain Estes extracted: Dowd and Dodds, heavyweightsg Gannon and Crillons, lightweightsg Bradway and johnson, the fiery endsg Crangle, Brice and DiNatale, the hair raising tackles, Schwartz and Wilcox, the speed boys. After the defeat at Bergen, B. H. S. came back and redressed their weak spots. Captain Estes' slogan was: On to the road of success. Night after night the blue team practiced and night after night they steadily improved. Cn Saturday afternoon, October 2, B. H. S. defeated the strong Alumni team composed of former B. H. S. stars, From then on B. H. S. started a remarkable spurt, defeating Albion, Bergen and Attica. On Qctober 30. B. H. S. started for the fair city of Buffalo and set the place anre by springing a big surprise. Nichols Prep. School fell before the strong attacks of our men to the tune of lO to 2. Only once before had the Nichols team been scored upon. More noteworthy, it was the first time in 9 years that a B. H. S. Football Team had defeated a Buffalo Team on their own field. The following Saturday we met the enemy-Le Roy-and they were ours 28 to 15. On November 13, things changed. Witli no practice in nearly two weeks we went to Le Roy and were defeated at the hands of the Le Roy boys 7 to 6. Coming back defeated but not dismayed B. H. S. set to work in preparation for the last game of the season. Attica opposed B. H. S. The Attica team was composed of members of the High School and 5 ex-members, stars of former football teams of that city. Re-f pulsing every attack and pushing over a touchdown every now and then, B. H. S. won easily 44 to 0. Thus ended the l9l5 Football Season with but 2 defeats in 10 games. In ad- dition to the remarkable record the spirit shown by the students, especially the girls, was far above any B. H. S. spirit shown in the past. To help the good cause along we must not forget that the season ended in a financial success. The players enjoyed a banquet at the Richmond Hotel, at which Thomas Dowd, our Giant Guard, was elected Captain of next year's team.

Yes, we even went so far as to make a few dollars. The season opened with Kelsey, the flying Dutchman and Mike Waldo, the speed king, in the game. But after the season was fairly started Waldo and Kelsey left school. Things looked gloomy but Captain Wilcox was determined and developed a team equal to the best. The season ended with Captain William Wilcox at right forward, Roscoe Rock', Miller at left forward, Ward Breed Bradway at center, John A. Corti at right guard and Elmer Wang Wanglien at left forward. Elmer also managed the team. Mr. E. Wolfe was faculty man- ager and adviser. All the games were played on the fine Y. M. C. A. court. We started off by defeating Bergen 38 to 5. B. H. S. displayed class and pep . Next, we took a short trip to Buffalo and met a strong opponent in Canisus. Canisus led at the end of the first half, 10 to 5. But in the second half our boys came back, strong, and won by a close score 17 to 14. Middleport handed us our first defeat of the season. Defeat was due to the irregular court. Qne week later, Middleport played a return game at Batavia, only to be defeated by a large score 48 to 15. Now came the annual All-College game which usually results in a victory for the Old Boysn, but this time our speed and clever pass work turned the tables and the MEX-Stars lost 29 to 19. At times the All- College game was a Hfistici' affair. lt was evident that an exchange of friendly taps took place. VVithout the services of Captain Wilcox and Miller, we met defeat in Rochester at the hands of Cathedral High School, one of the fastest teams in VVestern New York. The following night we stopped at Churchville, and defeated the town team 29 to 25. To make our records complete, We had to take the measure of our old friend, Le Roy. The score was 21 to 13, a notable victory for B. H. S. Le Roy scored all their points on fouls. They had trouble locating the basket and every time they found it our guards would be there to rescue the ball. High Schools didn't seem to be in our classg so we invited the U. of B. Law Students to the Dyke. We gave them a good time but sent them home defeated 35 to 17. Cathedral who had severely defeated us some few weeks before had a hard time winning as the score indicates, 21 to 23. Gur boys played a wonder- ful game. The flower city of Rochester seemed to be our jinx. Every time we journeyed to the fair city, we met defeat. hlechanics Institute defeated us 34 to 8. But this was not our fault-the court was too long and narrow. On a cold night in February, B. H. S. sleigh-loaded to Le Roy, accompanied by 125 loyal students. Le Roy had at the end of the hrst half 7 points to our 3. 1901 K Between halves. Captain Wilcox thawed ns out by giving ns-tthe place where mother told father to goj. In the last half , we came hack strong. Hy taking op- portunities and by guarding closely. we succeeded in winning, 15 to 9. During the last period, Miller caught the hall six times, displaying splendid accuracy. Again we met and defeated Canisus for the second time ol' the season 30 to 14. The last game of the season was with Mechanics lnstitne of Rochester. Before the largest crowd of the season, 15. H. S. played a remarkable game. The pass work was excellent and we had plenty of pep. NVQ defeated the Rochester lads, 36 to 16. It was a sad event to disband such a good team. Much credit should go to Captain VVilcox for the pep he put into the fellows. It was he who said at Canisus, Churchville and I,c Roy, The game isn't over boys 'till time's called. Facing defeat, Captain XfVilcox forced his team- mates to play hard. and thus three times during the season, we turned defeat into victory. B MEN R. F. XYi1liam XN'ilcox, Bucki' ......,. .........

Corti, '17- 1911 Girls' Basketball Rah! Rah! Rah! Girls! Among the many pleasant things of this year in B. H. S. is the school spirit of the girls. During the basketball season 70 per cent. of the spectators were girls. They stuck to the team until the end. At the end of the boys' basketball season the girls decided to have a team of their own next year. At a largely attended meeting the girls elected Miss Helen Templeman, ,l8, manager. Miss Lucile Dunham was unanimously chosen coach. ln order to get a good start for next year the girls challenged the boys' team. The first game resulted in a victory for the girls 25 to 2.3. Miss Templernan starred for the girls getting 23 of the girls' points. The boys thought the girls were too rough. Regaining courage the boys challenged the girls. This time the girls lost, 17 to 14. At times the girls played awfully rough. Among their tactics were pulling boys, hair, stepping on their number nines, scratching their faces and other womanlv characteristics. Each team has won one game. It was readily agreed to play the rubber. Outside of overguarding or being over the line the boys treated the girls with all the assets of true sportsmanship. But those girls! My how they played! In the last game Waiiglieii was laid out and ever since everything he has eaten has gone to his stomach. Outside of that hels all there. Bradway had his right arm done up for 3 weeks. Hunt couldn't find himself after the game. Davis' hair turned red. Corti is still nursing his jaw which he opened too wide while laugh- ing. At the end of the game the score was announced, in favor of the boys, 21 to 13. lf the girls play as good basketball next year as they did against the boys, there'll he no team in the United States that'll stand a show with them. Let every boy in high school next year do as much for B. H. S. as the girls rlicl this year, and in l9l8 you'll see a new B. l-li. S., a school which forevermore will be second to none.

GAYTC00CA Track The track season started in earnest May 6, at Ithaca. lt was the hrst time in several years that Batavia's boys had competed in Cornellis fast interscholastic meet and they sure found some competition. Twenty-six prep. schools, academies and high schools from all over New York and Pennsylvania were represented. Vlfalter Kennedy who took 2nd in the 440 and tied for Znd at 5' S in the High jump was the only B. H. S. point winner in this meet. Tn the dashes Enos and Lucid failed to qualify for the nnals only because they mistook the right finish line. -ludd failed by a small margin to qualify for linals in the 220-yard Low Hurdles. In the mile johnson pushed Sheret of Albion hard for Sth place and was followed by Cope. S. Wilcox came in fifth in the 2-mile Run. Though hopelessly outclassed by schools of Mercersburg's type every B. H. S. man fin- ished his race and used every ounce of pep in doing it. The Clinton House cscapade and the scene from Fighting Blood will- serve as good reminders of this trip. Our very low score at Albion was due to the fact that the major part of the team was unable to get there. Mgr. -ludd secured third in the Low Hurdles and Bob Harris got 4th in the High jump. s i961 ta The following VVednesday came the .Xlired meet. 'l'he long trip being made in autos during school. proved incentive lor a large nnmher of routers tu accompany the team. Nineteen ll. H. S. students were at the meet. livery one of our men did very creditable work at fllfred, Cope, Enos and 'lolmson' win- ning their B's there. .lohnson's record breaking sprint in the mile made the spee- tators forget .the rest of the milers. cope easily secured Znd place in this race. Kennedy copped both the quarter and half in line style. lle also got .ld in the High jump. After each had won his heat in the 220 Low llurdles, I.ucid and Judd both had the hard luck to get the outside in the finals and were shut out by narrow margins. l3.H. S. was finally forced to take 2nd place in the meet which she had won 2 successive years. The strong Canisteo team scored 26 points, winning by only 3 points. On our return trip we all went in swimming at a scenic spot in the hills where some interesting photos were taken. Every one declared the Alfred trip to be the best of the season. For most of us our own big meet was the last for this year. B. H. S. cer- tainly showed up well against the crack Lafayette and East High teams in this meet when it is considered that the Alfred meet preceded our's by but three days. Lafayette with 35 points bested B1 H. S. by but 10 points. E. H. S. lost perman- ent possession of the much coveted trophy by 5 points. Kennedy was again high point winner with 15 points. Johnson secured third in the mile and Enos got Sd in the 440 and Sd in the Broad jump. Dowd got fourth in the hammer throw and S. VVilcox placed second in the Z-mile. - Kennedy and Enos entered the North Tonawanda and Princeton meets. Kennedy secured lst in the 440 and 2nd in the High .lump in both meets. Enos got 2nd in the Broad Jump in the Princeton meet. Eighttrack men were awardeed Bs this year-Douglas D. Qludd Qhlgrj, K. Stanley NVilcox tgCapt.j, Merton VV. Enos, Thomas Dowd, Robert Harris, LeVere M. johnson, Walter L. Kennedy, Qrville Cope. It is safe to say that in Kennedy, we had the best High School athlete in Vlfestern New York. In Mr. Gay we had one of the most painstaking coaches. K. Sfalzley lViIc0.r, 'I6. l97l THE ELECTRIQ Cm ENGRAVING Co B U F FALO.

Wlienever a Batavia high school athletic team wishes to open the season with a victory, which is quite often the case, the manager of the team secures a map of New York state and with the aid of a powerful microscope discovers Bergen waiting to lend assistance to such a worthy cause. This year's baseball nine, according to precedent, invaded Bergen on Friday afternoon, May 5 QArbor dayj and planted a victorious tree, which has continued to grow. In this game Batavia secured seven runs to Bergenls lone tally. 4 Harold Graham, pitching for the locals, was branded as a stingy guy when he refused to let the Bergenites secure over five hits. He was quite free with his strikeouts, issuing nine tickets for this route. Walker graced the mound for the ruralites and hfteen solid bingles was the greeting extended by the Batavia batters. For five innings neither side scored, but in the sixth Leary of Bergen crossed the plate. Batavia tied the score in the next inning, and put the game far out of reach, by scoring three in each of the last two innings. A large number of Batavia students witnessed the contest and the team was given a great deal of encouragement by them. Crangle and Gillard did the best hitting for Batavia in this game, each one securing a two base hit at opportune times. BATAVIA H. S. 2. SILVER LAKE MILITARY INSTITUTE ll. If we had military training in this high school we might be able to tell a different tale. But, alas! it is not the case and we must relate that our volunteers fell before the concentrated attack of the Hsodjersl' of the Silver Lake Military Institute. They marched around the diamond and crossed the plate exactly eleven times while we had only two men make the circuit. The game was played at the Perry Fair Grounds, but the weather was not like the grounds, as the contest was called at the end of the sixth inning when the skies began to weep. A number of girl students of the high school, chaperoned by Miss Farrall, came to see Batavia win another game but they, like a good many others were disappointed. In fact the only one from Batavia who had a good time was Anderson Wasliiiigtoii, who drove the girls, car and paid no at- tention to the game. Di Natale pitched for Batavia and was in poor form. The support given him by his team-mates was ragged and the militarists had no trouble winning. H021 The score by innings follows: 123-150789111113 B.

O11 Saturday afternoon, May 13, the team made its first home appearance, and sent the Le Roy high school nine 1lo11'11 to defeat, by the score of 7 to 6. The contest was played on Brisbane Field and one of the largest crowds that has ever attended a scholastic game in Batavia was on hand. The baseball treasury was benefited greatly. Le Roy used to turn out high school teams that co11ld compete with Batavia Athletes, but that time has past and the locals have established their supremacy in every line of sport. The visitors this year played a pretty fair game of ball but their fielding skill, in which they surpassed Batavia, went for naught against the heavy and timely hitting of Gannon, lN'ilcox, Bradway and Mortimer. Le Roy had a good opportunity to win the game in the ninth inning, but poor base running and coaching spoiled the attempt. Graham was on the mound for Batavia and succeeded in extricating himself from bad holes. The helcling feature of the afternoon was BlOl'llll1lCI S one-handed catch of Kelty's liner in the sixth inning, and doubling Gleason oft first base.

Ou Memorial Day the team journeyed to Perry and it was decorated with the customary dishonors that are attached to every defeat. Perry high school won and the score was l2 to 6. ln the first inning the Batavians started out in winning fashion by scoring three runs. Leo Gannon walked, Joseph Terrara singled and Gillard hit the ball out of the diamond for a home run. However the Perry representatives soon got on to Graham's delivery and he had to be relieved by Di Natale in the seventh inning, who held them scoreless during the rest of the game. Terrara and DiNatale had perfect records at bat, the former securing three hits and the latter four hits out of as many times up. tion 'ilitvrarg Ariihitiiez Literary Society At the first meeting of the Literary Society this year it was decided by the committee, that had been appointed previously, to change the organization of the society into that of a legislative body like the House of Representatives at Wash- ington. The following officers were elected: Speaker, Cyrus Fargo, Speaker pro tem, Christina C. Collins, Secretary, Alida Dunham, Sergeant-at-Arms, Clarence Bohm. After the business meeting a mock trial was held, Wilcox versus Fargo. Mr. Meyer acted as judge while Mr. Todd and Mr. Auxier were attorneys for Wilcox and Fargo respectively. Shortly following this meeting was the debate between North Tonawanda and B. H. S., Batavia being an easy winner. The third annual declamatory contest was held in this school and it was no easy task to pick the winners. Winners of the girls were: lst, Alida Dunham, 2nd, Ruth Lent, 3d, Ruby Beck. The boy winners were: lst, Douglas Judd, 2nd, Elmer Wanglien, 3d, K. Stanley VVilcox. The next meeting was conducted in the manner of the House of Repre- sentatives-as was first decided. Thomas Dowd introduced a bill which provided for the fortifying of Batavia. There was a great deal of discussion over this bill, everyone expressing his opinion concerning the bill and concerning other tliingsf' The meeting which was perhaps as interesting as any was the one next held to try out our debating team. The H. S. team, composed of H. F. Kelly, Bob Cacner and Russell Bridge, upheld the negative side of the question of the Freedom of the Philippines. Mr. Todd, Chuck Carson and Billie Degen took the affirmative. The result of the debate was not actually decided upon. In addition to the debate there was a short program given at this meeting, Miss Zella Bridge gave a vocal solo and Miss Irene Clough a piano solo. The boys' quintette, accompanied by Mr. Fritsch, gave three selections. Although the interest in the Literary Society was great, in only one meeting was the routine of a legislature carried out. W'e hope that next year the society will hold its meetings more in accordance with the original plan. ' Cyrus Fargo, ,I7.

This play was made successful only through the untiring efforts of the directors, Misses Dennison, Farrall and Hunn, and the property manager, Lucile Dunham. The last week before the play rehearsals started-or were supposed to start- at 6 :OO a. m. Poor Actors! The prompt ones came' around with their eyes half closed. Late comers would come straggling in one by one. Along about 6:30 Doc Wilcox would wander in and throw French at everyone around him. He was wide awake on account of that extra half hour. NVell, then came the night of the play. And some excitement too. Everyone was calling, VVho's got my cue book P VVhen do I go on ?', Do you think I have too much paint on, etc., while others had their eyes glued to their cue books lest they forget some of their lines. But they got the play off in fine style. People said it was the best high school play that was ever given. On the following Tuesday we all journeyed to East Pembroke, where we re- peated the play. The house was Hjammedf' Everyone enjoyed the play, par- ticularly the bunch of seniors who watched it from the outside windows. With the profits from East Pembroke the whole cast went to Silver Lake for the week end at Miss Farrall's cottage. There were about thirty-five of us out there and we all had a great time, too.

Orchestra The Batavia High School Orchestra first saw the light of day in December, 1913. During its existence in the world it has had a rather strenuous life. Like some of the politicians. the more noise it makes the better it feels. The orchestra has made its boisterous appearance at nearly all of the high school events, in- cluding special day programs, Literary Society meetings, the Huntley and the Annual Declamatory contests, dramatic productions and commencment exercises. At times it has suffered those bilious attacks common to all infants, and upon one or two occassions we feared it would not surviveg but it has cut its eye teeth, and we believe that all dangers are safely past. Indeed, as this book goes to print the orchestra is very much alive and is making somewhat more than its usual pre-commencement racket. This year General Upton Post. G. A. R. requested the orchestra to appear on the program of the Appomattox Day celebration, and the invitation was readily accepted. If we remember correctly, the orchestra played everything it knew a couple of times and then played some more. The old soldiers said they liked the music, and we have every reason to believe that the members of the orchestra enjoyed the supper. Un the occasion of the senior play the audience was presented with a half dozen brand new military marches-the kind with the swing to them- in full keeping with the spirit of patriotism. NVe are not quite sure what sort of a noise will be made on commencement night, but we have a sneaking suspicion that it will be a cross between the Intermezzo from Cavallerio Rusticanau and Yankee Doodlef, The membership includes the following: Director-l-IARRY S.
