FRESHMAN Four years ago thirty of us entered high school with all the determination that freshmen usually possess to act superior and not let the upper classmen consider us green.. Although we couldn’t help being a little bewildered at first, by the end of the year we were rather sure of ourselves at last. We held no class activities the first year, but we participated in ail other school activities. At the end of June we entertained the sophomores at a picnic at Rose-land. Our class officers were: President -- Ruth E. Lang Vice-President — William Manley Secretary — Helen Youngs Treasurer -- Aliene de Graw Class Advisor — Mr, C, W, Kovey SOPHOMORE We considered ourselves well established as important students in our second year although we still weren't quite at ease around the seniors. On March 1, we had a Freshman-Sophomore party and in June another Freshman-Sophomore picnic. Our class was represented in sports, assembly programs and other activities this year. Class officers were: President — Leonard Walters Vice-President — William Manley Secretary -- Helen Youngs Treasurer -- Drew Morris Class Advisor -- Mr, Hovey Junior At last we had become upper classmen and we felt nothing could stop us now. We entered all activities with a feeling of pride and importance. After the basketball games we held several dances which turned out very successfully. a.j . ton rM 7 • nbj j� • • • • u aovlsa'tx o lo rt'? 1 i • % . • • • • • • • • • • i;. o r' J. v) sUD . ••. - •. • ’ ■ . ;: . • ' ■ ■’ • “ r i t J 1 J ; , V - 1 • •iii. 4 H 1 . • r . • '■ m r i Ilf - zeiebiziioz ' . • - • • c • • • ' rnnio . ffrt Pi'% t CTo . vev 'lethrt e j r i V f -f - • • . • , •. tin . • • i ♦ oo A J •-■ . : f • • • � 9 • • • ’. • • • ■ • V . y • . « i In April, under the direction of Miss Klebert, we produced a minstrel show called The Coo-Coo Club Capers. In March the class was well represented in the annual prize speaking contest and on June 5, we held our Junior Prom. On June 19, we took the Seniors to Owasco on the annual picnic there. Officers were: President — William Manley Vice-President — Leonard Walters Secretary — Lillian Earle Treasurer -- Frances Macomber SENIOR Our four long high school years are now drawing to a close, and of the 30 of us who entered four years ago, £0 are left -- each of whom hopes to graduate. On November 30, we held our senior play, The Sour Grapes Club , which was produced under Mr. Kerb’s direction. On April £3, we held our annual senior ball for which the music was supplied by Bobby Lyons and his orchestra. A picnic with the juniors at Owasco at the end of June will end our year's activities. Officers were: President -- Frances Macomber Vice-President -- Lillian Earle Secretary -- Helen Youngs Treasurer -- Bernard Ostrander SENIOR BALL The seniors held their annual senior tall on April £3, 1937. The gymnasium was decorated with blue and silver crepe paper and silver stars suspended from the ceiling. Mr. Button was responsible for the lovely decorations, and those who participated in decorating the gymnasium were Helen Youngs, Lenna Burke, Virginia Farr, Drew Morris, Bill Manley, Charles Denniston, Terry Sheehan, and Mr. Button. Much credit must be given these people for their part in making the ball a success. Bobby Lyons and his orchestra supplied the music and the dancing lasted from nine to one. This year's senior ball was enjoyed by all of the very fine crowd which attended it. — Aliene de Graw • V « v,- { f .: ' V •A 4 3 «. 1. 1 W X -X -•• ‘ . . ■” .'. til • 1 . f • • f ■� f r: ) 5 - n e ;jr-• r ' or ' pvrt i � c • . %. r V ‘ • si • — A • y ' • .. f ,% , •• - • . : • 9 ' ' , ' ' J n r; of .

A friend drops in to spend the afternoon and as entertainment the hoobuss turns on the radio and the following program is head'd. Station 0. S. K. S., Clifton Springs, broadcasting. Address given at the Alumni Banquet of the class of 1947, Dear Fellow Classmates: It is with great pleasure that I now stand before you and address you at this time I see in the many faces gathered bore before me the dear friends and class mates of' a few years ago. True to our Alma Mater, we ha vc gathered hero in the same old C. S. H. S, spirit. The surroundings bring back happy memories to all of us. The building in which wo studied and played and, in one way or another endeared forever in our memories. Before going farther lot mo briefly tell to those that arc present what some of the members of the class of ’37 have been doing since we parted on that memorable day of June 22, when we received our diplomas. Bernard Ostrander--the speed king, has proved to the world that one lives just as happily if one does not rush to got up in the morning in time for breakfast. Virginia Farr—Yes, she is married and is now Strong She has a very unique home in Clifton Springs, nothing to do but press a button and let a patented invention do the work. The only things to be done by the family are to eat and sleep. It is hoped that this may be remedied by an invention sometime in the near future. Lucile Schanz--is a Home Economics teacher and is nov in our home town where she is teaching the brides of the year how to become successful homemakers. Isobel Dewey is running an Old Maids’ Home in Clifton Springs. Some of our old friends arc her best patients. , Charles Denniston has risen to success by opening a barber shop in ICrautvillc. q can now afford to shave at least once a year, Lillian Earle, under a very chic Parisian name, is now running a model dross shop on Fifth Avenue. erf .;f� oc:air ec v; tsoon’- 3 14 .'X I'tio • :•. o-’ n.t t ni -.-•i •; • • : if .. .! . ■ ' ,ao ioxt' • xtfo Co e:'X o ' xoo i ®rf- j.o oraoc Icxc Xnoa. .7 0. -i5 :tro bovi .000 1 '� v :r ■ t2S on‘o to Xon ■ ox oxto ; fli -Hiarf 83 Xai j; aoviX :no X.-vrf .olnoir rf i BCJ .ZO 3 Xul C Li ili goimoffi Oxf .tJ Ti 0 OCf rf-OX T . . fjoibei r 2 ; ir aitrf .? if .■. aqo-. ax XX .qoeJo J o o .elKKbj it ax ft x: 'JJ.:- • • • nox .aevj:.;: rs • .erxo:'fj3XTTOino-'f Ifrti-.aoeo.jo ox.aoot iJ . j • IJ.'

Ic has been said that his musical fame is the result of picking a wife who was greatly interested in music, Richard Devereaux has become a globe trotter, he has not as yet settled down but in all his wanderings he has not gathered any moss. Drew Dorris has taken over the United States government and declared himself dictator. Hale Morris!11 Bill ban ley has taken the place of Walter V inche 11 a3 radio’s foremost nows reporter. Bill is sure making the world listen to him. Felix Curran is baseball coach a t the University of New York. We hear he is turning the ladies' heads per usual. Alione deOraw is now on the stage. She is at present playing the leading part in the greatest stage hit of the year. Critics acclaim her as greater than Garbo. Bob Bremer is the modern oe Louis. Bob is making good as a boxer. He hopes that he will be able to claim the champion title next year. Lenna Burke is matron of nurses in a prominent ew York City hospital. Ruth barney is now the most popular and most efficient air hostess on the C. S. K. S. Linos. Leonard Walters owns a chain of moat markets worth one million dollars. Marguerite Barden now holds the title of the world's champion typist but we won't mention the make of typewriter she uses. Helen Youngs took to the lecturing field. She ha3 become famous for her speech on The Independence of Man.1' She is a strong spoaker cn a strong subject. Frances Macombor is private secretary to cion Youngs. Much of Helen’s success is due to Frances’ ambitious efforts.

U? o:- 3US15 Having broken a greet j ,;.; - aoublished traditions around C. L. H. S. already, tie seniors felt that one more could do little, if any, hern.. Evidently, we didn’t bargain for all we got. Since the class was VERY financially embarrassed forcing us to abandon hopes of Washington or Hew York City, we turned our eager little hearts and eyes toward Albany. So, in spite of haste, flat poeketbooks, and discouraging quips from the lake-minded” seniors, we departed from Geneva the Thursday before Easter. We traveled by bus as everyone must know, and the reason is given above. The trip down was hilarious, to say the least, and Trof’s singing didn’t help an . From the moment we arrived ir. Albany until we left Saturday, there were few minutes of peace and resa among us. It all consisted of eating, walking, looking, oil’s, ah's, eating, walking, etc. However, oho boys did one thing that the girls didn't do and that was wait for the girls. They claim they spent most of their time doing just that. Prof was so interested in the fossil oases thet no one could induce him to leave and look at the more interesting (to us) things. We saw some good shows bue Irof had to sit way down in front because he forgot to bring his Specs . We ca; truthfully relate that all of the hotel lobby staff were glad to see us go. To be sure, the excursion was brief, but no more fun could be racked into three days than we hv.d unless it were planned to an iriinite degree. If wc have done wrong in taking at. ehenc«: at our share of the fun, we are sorry. We realise, uid v-e hope yon do too, that there are two sides to every question. Perhaps even new those who disagreed with us about the trip era bus mode of transportation understand our side if not accept it. It would please us all if tho forth ecrr.'ng seniors could go to Washington, if they wisn to, and . y profit by our mistakes. If not, wc h 03 they make A]ban It is great fun after all. —ii. foungs ?jc Jk Robert: Is a chicken big enough to eat when it is three - weeks old? Drew: No, of course not.

The part about the discipline is nb joke , ctte-kiidw, but as for the hearts, they are made of gold. Every one of us has felt the kindness and understanding of Miss Frantz ‘who always makes life a little mere easy for the Freshmen. (You leaving the eighth grade take note.) None of us could fail to giggle with Miss Griffiths or at Miss Howard's aged jokes. We know, toe, that summer is really here when Miss Jones and Miss MacAniff get out the golf clubs and start for the local links. Mr. Kaspar’s good-naturedness is often taken advantage of and Coach Button's guffiness overlooked. We will greatly miss such friends as Miss Cowley and Miss Murnighan who coached us in years gone by. The new teachers of the first floor, Miss Reeves and Miss Zulauf, have added new pep there with their ping-pong games. Mrs. Burns will never be forgotten by those of us who regularly have ailments on Monday, Wednesday, and Friday of one week, and Tuesday and Thursday of the next. Everyone is agreed that Mr. Gazley is one swell person to have around. For what more could one ask when there is fun..to-, be had than to have Prof supply it? Te top it all we are blessed with the quiet sincerity and friendship of Miss Hansen, Mr. Korb, Miss O'Shea, Miss Huffman,Mr. Macomber, and Mr. Spencer. Indeed, these are all friends to be proud of and majr they all see the day when they can say, I taught Johnny Jones when he went to Clifton Springs High School. I’m proud of him. --Helen Youngs % Mr. Spencer: Why are you late? Eugene Heckman: Well, I was riding down Main Street on my bicycle, and Officer Joyce arrested me for pedaling without a liscence. 4 • O T; f i'!‘ : • O ooi ?b tot ar i • ; 1 j MV ' • X7 19 f ) ; .«, '£• ; i • x £ •' . i-. .

This distinction we eagerly assume knowing that whatever our mistakes or failure in undergraduate vears have been, our final efforts to uphold the’high traditions of our school will not only be a credit to ourselves as a class, but also a worthy example to those following so closely in our footsteps. In taking over the duties of trust and leadership for the coming school year as seniors, it is with confidence we have learned to place in our school faculty, who have always been so willing to give a word of advice or ' helping hand to charter and guide our course. In the field of athletic sports, members of the 193£ class have won singular recognition in contributing physical prowess and alertness of mind in the true spirit of sportsmanship that has at all times merited due respect and admiration from our most estimable opponents. Under the capable leadership of our new athletic director we are looking forward to adding new laurels in the Clifton Springs High School Hall of Fame. •• y •« • •� • • , ••• •• ?-• t v. • ' • „• . ; •' 4k. • -- • • •- vV % v . .

However, many members of the Junior Class at least plead guilty to the fact that their foot work: was highly at fault on the dance floor, compared to their footwork on the basketball court. As a parting farewell to those of the graduating class, we wish to express our hearty and sincere wishes for their continued success and good luck in whatever vocation of life they may seek their reward. H. Carver SOUND YOUR HORN On the afternoon and evening of April 29th, the Junior class presented a throe-act comedy, Sound Your Horn . The story took place in the interior of a refreshment stand owned by Christine Eliot (Helen Hall). A stranger, Theodore Webster (Donald Vanderhoof), who had run away from his aunt and the wealthy land owner, Mrs. Van Dyke (Verna Sddings) came to the refreshment stand. Here he found a job as dispenser and fell in love with Christine. Beasley, the caretaker of Mrs. Van Dyke's property (Sidney Smith) and Angus, the lawyer (Francis O’Connell) did not get along very well with Mrs. Van Dyke. The parts of Homer Eird, from the Empire Bottling Works , and Etta Lamb, the waitress in the stand, were taken by Harold Muslyn and Marcia DeVall. Phyllis (Doris Finewocd) and Drusilla (Betty Oarney) sprinkled in the humor and jokes together with their cherry pop . D. Finewocd JUNIOR PROM Dancing is not among the least of the activities' of the famous class of ’36. Not only have we had the opportunity to attend the Senior dances, but we conducted a prom of our own on the 4th, of June. Dancing was from 9:30 to 1:30 in the auditorium, which was decorated with red and yellow crepe paper. 'About three hundred balloons of assorted colors,which were strung over the dancers heads, were let down during the last dance.

V ' First Grade This year the first grade opened with an enrollment of thirty-one. We have enjoyed working together on our many projects and activity units. The holidays and special days throughout the year have been stressed; the children having made posters of each and also given the opportunity to learn something about each. The children had progressed well with their reading bv the lest of Anril and nearly all had finished their basal texts, so the activity work was brought into the foreground. As there was _ chapter in our reading books devoted to the circus, the conversation naturally led to the various experiences which the children had had regarding circuses. This is something of interest to every child and it was suggested that wt have our own circus in school.' Th children brought boxes of different sizes and shapes for the wagons. The bars were cut, wheels cut and put on, and the wagons were painted in bright colors. Animals were made and with the teacher's help, put into the wagons. The children then mc.de the horses, colored them and the teacher fastened thsm to the wagons. Cooperative stories were written and put up for the children to road. Mr. Smith helped us with our circus tent; the children drew pictures for the tent and a frieze was made of the circus pt.rt.de along the blackboard. Stories were also written of this. The last part of our activity was the making of our circus books, in which we put our little original stories, rhymes, drawings, number work, writing and sentence work. This completed our activity. The children all seemed very ‘much interested in this activity and I feel that it broadened their reading experiences considerably. Rachel Reeves Second Grade Beginning in September and throughout the year the second grade was busy doing numerous projects. In the fall the children brought to school many pretty leaves which developed into a study of leaves. The most fascinating part of the study was making spatter-prints. A pressed leaf was placed on a sheet of white paper, with tiny pebbles keeping the leaf from moving. A piece of screen was held over the leaf. Then with a tooth brush, using red ink (point may be used) spatter over the screen where the leaf isn’t. The pebbles and leaf were removed and a pretty print was obtained. At Thanksgiving time the children made a frieze depicting scenes from The First Thanksgiving.” Each child did some particular part of the story—the part that appealed most to him. The children enjoyed the study of the Pilgrims and Indians. Another project that the children worked with a great deal of enthusiasm was the making of a class booklet of rhymes. Each child wrote at least two rhymes. This project correlated Spelling and Language which was of great value. Each child made a smell diary which he kept for two weeks. Number booklets were also made. These and many other smaller activities were carried on during the year. As the school year draws to a close, we feel that we have accomplished n great deal. Barbara Zulauf Third Grade The year began with a registration of twenty-six pupils but. Dorothy Arri Faulkner left us very soon to attend school in Rochester. Our number remained at twenty-five for the rest of the year. Geography has been our favorite subject. We have studied about the food, clothing and shelter of people in all parts of the world, and this study has been made delightful and interesting by the slides furnished by the State department. Our library gave us much enjoyment. Many of us have kept records of the books we have reed and the names of their authors. One book, The Treasure in the Little Trunk” which we road together furnished us with a project on frontier life in the early days in western New York. We have also made special studies of life in Japan and Holland. In penmanship we have made the transition from manuscript writing to Palmer Method and most of us greatly enjoy writing, especially when we are allowed to uso ink. There was much sickness among us in early winter, causing a great deal of absence from school, but we have accomplished much during the spring months and are now looking forward to vacation. Fourth Grad. We have had twenty pupils enrolled in Fourth Grade this year. The percentage of attendance has been very good. The children voted Geography as their favorite subject with Reading taking second, place. A collection of Chinese articles, poster work, map drawings and. slides added much ao the Geography projects. Our social activities were small parties hold at holiday times. Much interest was shown in the construction of model airplanes. We held an exhibit and prizes were awarded. In retrospection we feel that it has been a happy year. I -w K •i • I - rf v. •� . • • V 1 . X I • % -. . t ■ r 1 . • ” i • o J I r . Vs ) c • Z - d:r ' r - J . - • • J • • v V1 . I f .

Since that time however, six children have left and two others have entered. Two privileges we have greatly enjoyed this year were the assembly programs and the radio science lessons. Our radio teacher for science was Mr, Harry A, Carpenter of Rochester, Besides partaking in the Christmas program and the operetta with other aradcs wo also had a grade play for Hallowe'en entitled nThe Magic Kettle, We had as our guests the fourth and sixth grades. We have found t at the most popular hobby is that of keeping a scrapbook. Much variety has been shown in our collection of scrapbooks, the most popular ones having movie stars, the Dionne quintuplets, sports, poems, and dog pictures This has been regardod as one of the most worthwhile activities of the year bccairsc of its lasting interest. SIXTH GRADE The sixth grade has enjoyed a very pleasant and happy year. Such harmony as we have had was made possible by the cooperation and pleasing attitudes of the children not only with the teacher but with each other, A few extra activities provided added interest. Several children exhibited hobbies at our show which showed a variety of interests including airplane models, stamp collections, dolls, dogs, maps and so on. This show broxight a number of visitors, Christmas brought the usual decorations, lighted tree and exchange of gifts. The grade also took part in the entertainment for the parents. Our contribution was a toy shop ministrcl chow with each child representing a toy. Nothing was forgotten. There were the end men with their jokes, the specialty numbers and even the quintuplets. The Lindner Twins wore made to order for Raggedy Ann and Raggedy Andy, The next public appearance was in the operetta The Forest Court. We were proud of every one and how the children enjoyed the costumes. Miss Huffman did quite a bit toward making a turtle out of Vincent Laprcsi, Eleven children v;ere chosen to entertain the Rotary Club Anril 13th to commemorate Pan American Day. The poem The Flag is Passing By was used as an introduction,, then the history of the flags of South American countries was given. As a final touch there was a flag drill and song, There Arc Many Flags From Many Lands. The physical education program has been enjoyed by each and they have lcarnod a great deal through the competitive games. There have been many other interesting incidents which have slinpod my mind and now I solemnly vow another year to keep a daily record of activities so nothing may be omitted. Seventh Grade During the year many units of work and activites were carried out. In our science work several interesting eeperiments were performed. A terrarium was made which enabled the class to have a plant garden throughout the winter. During the spring months a bird contest was held in which Edward Rolan won first prize and Lester Hughson, the second prize for the best bird houses. A bird calendar was kept on which were recorded the birds seen by each pupil. The chart indicated that about sixty different kinds of birds were seen by the children. A stamp club was formed which helped the children to become more familiar with the countries of the world and through the United States issues to learn some of the historical characters and events of their own country. A hobby exhibit was held. Some of the collections were stamps, banners, match covers, paper dolls, agates, miniature airplanes, automobiles, and dogs. Many pupils from the other grades come to see this exhibit and it was enjoyed by all. Through the Morning News Club the children kept in touch with the happenings of the world. In this grade the pupils become members of the Athletic Association and attend and take part in the High School assemblies. On March 16th, two plays This Magic World end Homework Blues were given by the' pupils and a dance number by Mariam Lush. Latey,at Mr. Gazlay s request the play Homework Blues and the dance number were presented at Phelps when assemblies were exchanged. % I I ' 1 t ‘V V VTA' .1 v ;• - J . . • ; • • .'i or:: : :!

In January the members of the class tried the Regent, in Arithmetic, Spelling, and Silent Reading, The class as a whole was very successful in this undertaking. During the year the class has taken an active part in the intramural sports and have greatly appreciated the opportunity to compete with the classes in high school. As members of the Athletic Association, the pupils of this grade have taken a great interest in the assembly programs and enjoyed them very much. Plans are now being made for the annual class picnic to be held at Rose land Pari-: sometime in June. More plans are being carried out for the June graduation exercises, with the honors going to Gene Lindner, as valedictorian, and. Winifred Edwards, as salutatorian. Officers of the class, chosen during the year, are:-Kenneth Walters - President; Winifred Edwards - Vice-President; Francis Fox - Secretary-Treasurer. The class colors are red and silver, with the red rose being the class flower. The class motto, which the pupils have tried to demonstrate during the year is:- Always a forward step, never a backward thrust . The Freshman Little grains of freshness, Little grains of pass, Little grains of dumbness Compose the freshman class. Mr. Kasper: - Young man I When I began life I had to walk, Paul Wells: - You were lucky, I had to be carried. Heme Economics Department The Home Economics Department of the Clifton Springs School was reorganized in the fall ef 1936 with a total of forty-four students registered in the courses. The courses in Home Economics are elective courses of one Regent’s unit, and this year have been attended only by girls of the Junior and Senior high school. The work in the Home Economics Department is comparatively bread, as it includes not only specific work in Child Care, Heme Planning, Foods, Clothing, Home Nursing, and Family Relations, but it also attempts to incorporate in itself work which is touch upon in every other course in the school. For example, in a Child Care class the student learns not only the needs of a young child as to its food, clothing, sleep, exercise, and play habits; but also the student must familarize herself with History and Current Events as far as new bills pre-taining to Child Labor, Adoption,and Welfare are concerned. In Foods Classes the student studies the buying, preparation, and serving cf foods as to family needs and requirements, plus points on the selection of kitchen equipment and its convenient arrangement. In this course the student applies principles of Mathematics, Current Events, English, Chemistry,and Physics to her work. For example to the girl, who has studied Physics or Chemistry, the cake baking lesson becomes more than a mere cooking lesson. To hef.it is also a lesson on the mysteries and action of carbon dioxide in the rendering of a well raised, fine-grained, fine-testured cake, Then in the Home Planning class a working knowledge of History and Art is invaluable because here the student studies the history of shelter and furniture together with points on selection and arrangement of a beautiful home. In the Junior High School which includes the seventh and eighth grade girls the work is a brief survey cf all the courses studied in the Senior High School touching on the high lights and presented in such a way as to attempt to interest the girls and make them prospective Home Economic students in the Senior High, The units of work which include Home Nursing, Foods, Clothing, Child Care, Home Planning, and Home Management are studied with the aim cf helping the students in their Girl Scout work. This year (1936-1937) each Home Economics class had a particular project which it sponcered. The Child Care class spent four weeks in planning and making a layette. The Heme Planning class arranged for and helped with ’’Firoozi’s Exhibit of Room Furnishing and Arrangement which was given in the High School Auditorium on February ISth. The Foods class helped to prepare and serve the School mens’ Dinner on February 9th, and the District Dinner on March 11th, both of which were held in the Home Economics Department cf the High School.

So, as is seen, the work in the Home Economics Department is nothing different, nothing new. It is the every-day task net with in such a way as to aid the students to do better the worth while things they are already doing at home, and in the community; thereby making them successful home makers and outstanding citizens of the future.

However, we feel assured that we are not taking this step blindly, for our community and faculty have done all in their power to help us, and to them we wish to express our heartiest thanks and hope that we will prove worthy of their effort. We are ready to assume the responsiblities of our community and of the dearest thing to all of us, our democracy, which in these very troubled and serious times is the greatest of all problems .facing us. The school system through which we have gone is one founded on democracy, and if those who shall succeed us are to have the same true democratic school that we have been accustomed to -an American school, free from oppression, militarism, censured speech, ind fear of a dictator, we, of this graduating class, as voters and citizens of tomorrow, must leave this auditorium to-night with one object and purpose in mind; to become the active champions of a failing cause - democracy. Our fathers fought unsuccessfully in Europe in an idealistic attempt to bring democracy to its people; down trodden by centuries of rule by divine right. The war was fought with that great Wilsonian slogan, ’’Make the World Safe for Democracy as the watchword, and the democratic nations won, but however, the fight did not end here. The idea of dictatorship steadily gained ground and since than one by one the great nations of the world have been added to the list of dictatorial countries; and as the number grows, so does'the battle to obliterate democracjr from the earth. As a result, fourteen totalitarian states have come into being in these nineteen years following the war. Russia, Italy, Germany, and Austria have already succumbed to dictators, and now Holland and Spain are fighting to the upmost to keep their democracy -Holland with ballots; Spain with bullets. They are fighting for a losing cause, for in both countries the dictatorial cause is backed by the powerful totalitarian states now in exsistence, while those champions of democracy, England and France, seem to be allowing their democratic neighbors to be swept away. However, in the future should it be necessary for these two great nations to fight for democracy, they will have to depend upon their own resources. • • a • % w '• •« 1 • • • 1 � • 1 • . .• ’• l' u’, J •v • % • • ) J - A . - • r;� « nf f .«V •• • • : • .

It is now our duty to take up the fight and defend the democracy of this great nation which our ancestors established. Only be each and every citizen doing his own part and bearing his own burden can this steady crushing march of the dictators be stopped. Even in the United States we had our Fascist and Communist candidates for the presidency in the last election. Of course, they were very small groups compared with our major political parties. Nevertheless, do not forget that these small groups may expand with great rapidity and soon rule the country; such as is the case of Russia and Italy. Another serious menace to our democracy is the power of the labor uriions, which, within the last year has grown so vastly that the industries of the United States are running only by the consent of labor. It is dangerous for any country to allow one class of people to control its industries and factories, for it is through just such means as this, that democracy gradually disappears. However, the most dangerous force in the country today,which is working toward dictatorship is neither the Fascists, Communists, nor the labor organizations. It is the power which congress has granted the leader of our country, no matter who he may be, with the only restriction on his dictatorial power being the Supreme Court, which they could not abolish and have not packed, as yet. The presidency is gradually assuming the same powers as a European dictator. What it has not been able to accomplish through its own power, it has bought with subsidies. The downfall of one of the earliest and greatest republics in the world, that of Rome, was accomplished by such sidies. The wealthy gave food end provided amusement for the poor and as a result the people were willing to give up their hard earned democracy for false security. This is exactly what is happening in our country at the present time, only it is being done with government money through a system of bureaus. We must not permit our democracy to be destroyed by politicians who buy votes at election time, and it is up to us to take an active part in destroying this underhanded practice. The Constitution does not concede that one branch of the government should turn its powers over to another branch without the consent of the governed, but this is what is being done at the present time. Since this changing of power has started it will continue, until first one r , • i in. 1 Bi; • , • 2; • , uvi ■- .1 ‘ i. • Ik • p -r • ■ BOT ‘ .

The liberty, freedom, and democracy of the people of our country has cost us too much to be sacrificed on the altar of dictatorship. The constitution must stand - and shall stand - a living monument to our great statesmen of the Constitutional Convention who laid aside one government and instituted another - a government of the people, by the people, and for the people.

Oh, yes,we were talking about the Court System of England. Oh, it is nice out-of-doors. It would be a lovely day for a picnic. What's that you say? Pay more attention to history? All right, I’ll try. Christopher Columbus discovered America in 1864. That’s not right you say? Will, it must have been something else then. Any way, the book might be wrong. I wonder what I can do during vacation? It will be nice not to have to study history. I must study history now. Why? Learning about dead people isn’t interesting at all. Let me see now, Julius Caesar was a great orator and statesman. That’s right. Well, I guess I know my history, so I can pass all right. Oh, they might not have that on the paper? I must know more about history than that? Maybe, I had better study a bit. Where's my book? Here goes, I hope I pass. B. Garney Eng. Ill CE N T R.A LI Z AT I ON. Education for A Changing Civilization We live today in a civilization that is changing rapidly, and which will no doubt be vastly different tomorrow.- The motor car, radio, washing machine, and permanent wave were in their infancy twenty years ago or had not been eve n thought of. Each of these inventions, to name but a few, have greatly effected our mode of living With the increased use of machines people are finding more and more time for leisure; and leisure time may be well spent or poorly spent, according to the ability of the individual. If not rightly directed, many people may use their leisure time to the detriment of society rather than a3 a time to increase their own fuller life . The depression of 19£9 has left a lasting impression i'.on the lives and,in some case.;, upon the law books of our country. Under the stress of financial troubles minors under 18 years have been largely ruled out of industry. There has been a tendency on the part of many states to require these children,who are inelgible to work, to remain in school and a few states have laws requiring attendance, at school until a child reaches the age of 18 years, ’ New York now demands attendance of the pupil to the ege of 16 years or until the high school course has been completed. Needless to say, this increase in the reach of the compulsory attendance law has doubled and tripled the attendance in our high schools. This increased attendance has.also brought its attendant problems. The great majority of these pupils will navor go to college, therefore the secondary school is obligated to teach thorn some vocation, so that they will be prepared to go out to take a place in society after graduation. The secondary school must also teach these peoole the correct use of leisure time. These two demands upon the secondary school; first, a vocational curriculum, and secondly, a curriculum providing for leisure time activities, such as athletics, intramural athletics, hobby clubs, and book clubs have placed a financial burden upon the school districts that many are finding difficult to bear. To remedy this condition the State Legislature wrote what is known as the Central Rural School Law which has made it possible for many rural schools, that is, schools serving a rural area, - - ut r t to receive increased funds from the state and thereby carry on their increased educational program. Investigations of the Clifton Springs District show that the first year of centralization the financial return from the state department would be about seven thousand dollars more than it is at the present time. With this extra money it would be possible to add to our already well started vocation deportment; agriculture, industrial arts, and drawing and to expand our present departments in music and commercial subjects. By the first of July this year (1937) there will be well over 200 centralized districts in the state that are offering diversified curricula that would have been impossible to offer had these schools not been centralized. The Board of Education at Clifton Springs has studied the situation throughout the state and is convinced that centralization is the next important step for Clifton Springs to take, since it would mean greater educational offerings for every pupil in this area. Those who ere sceptical of centralization are urged to take a few hours and visit some of the nearby centralized schools end talk with it he people in those districts to discover the value of centralization. To mention a few; Marion, Williamson, and Gorham are in the nearby vicinity. Centralization will mean lower taxes and increased educational opportunity for every person in the Clifton Springs area; - is it worth while to let this opportunity slip by? Mr. Charles S. Gazlay Principal, Clifton Springs High School. :l; cQ . . ; .'7 on ; : . •' ; . worla Jot nJaiCI r.!0 .0 . ‘i 7 ■ nan t j ' '•■ ' 1 • . Ji Otf . . f'l; • X •s.

There as soon as they have been graduated, the boys and girls are sent off to different work camps to prepare themselves for war. These young people are also urged by their dictators, Hitler and Mussolini, to marry as soon as possible so that they may have children to increase the army of the state. In these countries women are regarded as they were in olden days,' more or less as a tool of the state with little importance. As soon as the children are old enough, they are taken away from their mothers and sent to camps to begin their military training. Mothers hardly know their own children, as they seldom see them. If we contrast women's position in these countries at the present with that of the ancient Greek or Roman sorld, we find it surprisingly similar. During the age of Paganism, the position of women ’ as on a very low plane. They had no place even in their own homes. In every ancient Roman household the husband reigned as an absolute king with unlimited authority. The wife had no • legal rights. She could be sold into slavery or divorced at°will. In fact the law gave women the same status as slaves. Her children were also taken away from her when they were still young to be sent to camps. The Roman father ruled over his sons and unmarried daughters with tyrannical power. They were brought up to be sober, silent, modest, and obedient. He could punish them with banishment, slavery, or death. As the head of the family, everything they possessed were his, even their earnings. A Roman girl's husband was chosen for her by her father, and the two families entered into a marriage contract. Tne smallest factor in the marriage being romance. The bride rarely saw her husband before the ceremony, and whether or not they liked each other was of no consequence. The wedding was religious ceremony followed by much feasting. After a girl's marriage she was submissive to her husband rather than her father. Although the Roman woman was, in the eyes of the state, on such a low scale, she still had an important part in Roman life. She often took greet interest in state affairs, and aided her husband in business and politics. 3ne was often a virtuous, dignified, and loving wife.

She was a virtual prisoner of her husband and was seldom,if ever, allowed to go out. The advent of Christianity saw the revolutionisation of the position of women. Instead of being disgraced, they have achieved the equality that they deserved. Christianity not only honored them, but secured for them many things which had formerly been unheard of. Women were promised a permanent marriage. Instead of having the constant worry of being cast out by their husbands, they enjoyed security. They were also allowed to chose the man that they wished to marry. In the home a woman now has the authority over her family that was so long due her. She has a responsibility in the up-bringing and education of her children. Last of all women,could if they desired, enter a convent. This institution which was newly founded, was eagerly sought by many women. This was a step, in a sense, in the entrance of women into the professional world. In the convents the Nuns did many useful'! things _ and were taught numerous occupations. This new vocation glorified the work of women. Heretofore their work was that of slaves. Through the middle ages, the code of chivalry was developed. They were idealized, protected, honored, and respected by men. Through that code, ha3 come the present courtesy; with which women are treated. Thus has women’s positionbeen exactly reversed. Few women have come into prominence until modern tines. They have not really entered the political or business world to any extent until the present era. Nov there are many women,deceased and alive,whose names are spoken throughout our own country, if not the v orld. Who is not familiar with the name of Susan B. Anthony, who was the great advocate of woman suffrage. Her efforts were culminated in the nineteenth amendment; or with the great philanthropist, -Jane Addams, whoso Hull House” has received world-wide fame. Ilia Flagg Young is the first woman educator of any prominence. Her_ chief contribution was the introduction of practical studies which paved the way to more formal vocational training. In every field of American life one finds eminent women. Clubs and organizations are sponsored all over the country by women. These clubs help to promote civic welfare. A few years ago, after her high school graduation, a girl never thought of continuing her education further or of entering business. It is true, some girls were working in offices, but these girls weren't considered ladies. A girl’s one desire then was for a home of her own. Now days, after graduation, nearly every girl is anzious to go on to college or to business school. She wants a career of her own. Girls of the present era want to go out in the worl and make their own way. This is a picture of a young American woman. It is quite a different picture in Facists Italy and Nazi Germany. In these countries women have no place in business. The state is everything and women have no place in it. Clifton Springs High School prepares its girl graduates to carry on the work of women in a more than adequate way. Through our domestic science course, girls are tought how to be good wives and mothers; our commerical and academic courses prepare us for careers; our physical education department has tought us how to cooperate in sports which is rather different from submitting ourselves to leaders as we night in a military camp of an European dictatorship. When we are graduated tonight, the school has prepared us not only to live; but to live happily. L. Earle Miss O'Shea: - And was your grampa covered with insurance when he died? A.

We also enjoyed the assembly sponsored by the Fhelps High School in return for the assembly the Sophomore class featured at Phelps. This exchange was arranged by the two schools, and we all sincerely hope to have them with us again next year.

Oct. 27: The Debate Club presented arguments for and against the presidential candidates. The merits of the two teams may be judged the x’act that the straw voted conducted by Miss Howard’s civics class following the debate was almost a tie. Kov. 7: Princess Hacoomoe, daughter of Tahan, famous Indian chief entertained our pupils with a talk on Indian customs and the sign language of the American Indians.

Monaghan, a blind lecturer, who pleased us with the entertainment he brought with him. Ho sang many songs for us and has a really fine voice. We hope to see him return to our school again in the near future. May 11: Because we sent an assembly to Fhelps, they return- ed an assembly. It turned out to be an interesting play and was accompanied by several of the Phelps High School pupils in musical selections. May £5: E. M. Dill, master potter,entertained the school by me king several clay jugs and vases while he talked. Mr. Dill spent five months at the Chicago World's Fair mo king vases and all types of pottery to order. He gave us a very vivid idea of the molding and glazing of pottery of all kinds. June 1: The freshman presented three onc-act plays entitled The Deserted Wife Comes Back , Confessions , and It Sometimes Happens , which shows the talent our freshmen have. The student body sincerely hopes that the coming years will contain o.s fine a group of assembly programs as this school year has. E. Carling: Do you want your portrait done in oil? H.

Club, an organization intrusted wi th editing the Clifton Springs Ligli School Vivs, a department of the Clifton Springs Press. Previous to this year members of the Senior Class alone had charge of the News but it was felt that an improvement could be made if members of all the classes had. a share in writing news. Therefore, at too start of the school year any students who wished to do so were invited to enter the Press Club, About twenty responded from every class cxc pt the Freshmen. An euitor-in chief, associate editor, sports editor, club activities editor, • ncl an elementary grades editor comprised the staff with hr, Torb as advisor and censor. Other members acted as reporters. A change in the stafi was .: ade each quarter. Those who held the office of editor-in-ciiiof were Virginia Farr,William Hanley, Aden Youngs, end hall Stewart. A column designed, to include nows of all school activities was the aim of every editor and readers a-gree that each editor succeeded in his or her aim. A new feature was a so-called gossip column11 which went over big1’ vi th those who escaped mention in it but caused no little chagrin to those who were Linchellised Hall Stewart. GLEE CLUB The Glee Club under the direction of hiss Hansen, has progressed very well this year. It consists of twenty members, all girls. About the riddle of December we had the honor of singing at the Annual linger Lakes Festival at Geneva High School among many other school. On April 22, we went to Lyons to the Choral Festival. During the course of the year, v e had several parties. A: ion the: .ewe a Christmas and a Valentine party. At the Christmas .ynty each of the iris brought a small gift for the Christmas tree and gave it to the girl whose name she drew. Just before Valentine's Day, e had a v.lontine party ct which the iris exchanged valentines and furnished part of the supper. The party be. an after school and lasted until - ' :■ • ■ . ... ■ •; ; ■ ■ .. .V ■ x.'. ...� ■ ■- . about 7:30. After supper, Ruth Converse entertained us by playing her guitar. Soon we expect to have a picnic, although the place has not been decided. Doris Fincwood COCKING CLUB One of the most important clubs th s year has been the Coohing Club. It xr. s established in September with kiss Souders as its advisor and. with a membership of about forty. It was agreed :c. have a meeting of half the club each week and to bold a supper as often as possible. Three suppers were bold throughout the year. At each of those suppers the club entertained several members of the faculty. For each of these suppm. s a chairman and assistant chairman were chosen. Along; vith them three committees were also appointed. These committees were a enu committee, a preparation cormnittee, and a clean-up cow; it-tec. Each member of the club served on each of the various committees so that the work might be evenly divided. At the weekly meetings hiss Souders instructed us on various phases of etiquette and answered questions. The club has been very profitable and entertaining, and it is hoped that it will be continued next year. Lillian Earle Bernard—trI dreamed I died last night, Felix-- Whot woke you up?

One of the clubs introduced at that time was a Photography Club whose meetings were held in Mr, Spencer's room each Tuesday. Robert Bremer was elected president and Henry Converse was chosen secretary-treasurer. The Eastman Kodak Company of Rochester upon receipt of a letter from our secretary sent the club material concerning the taking of pictures and the construction of a camera. Pin-hole cameras were made by these who did did not have cameras of their own. The pin-hole camera is made of cardboard. It has, however, many disadvantages. It must be loaded in a dark room and it will take only one picture at a time which must be an exposure. A snapshot is impossible to take because there is no lense in the front. However, the cameras served our purposes considering the cost was only twenty-five cents. A great deal of time was spent making them, but it was well worth it. --F. M. Ncrthrup STAMP CLUB This year the Stamp Club under the supervision of Mr. Gazlay proved to be a great success. The club consisting of eight members elected Ainsworth Bennett as president and Francis Lapresi as secretary. The other members are Wallace Mark, Donald Me Cumber, Domenic Lapresi, Harry Pepperman, Eugene Heckman, and Robert Me Cann. During the year the club had two guest speakers, Mr. Van Dyne and Dr. Odell. Mr. Van Dyne spoke at the club meeting and invited the members of the club to his home. Here he showed them his collection and also brought forth many duplicates which he gave the beys. Dr. Odell spent two club periods on the requirements for the Boy Scout merit badge for stamp collecting. The beys profitted by this to a great extent, for Dr. Odell showed them the difference in perforations, water marks, and the different types of paper. He also gave the boys several stamps. Next year the boys hope to have a hobby show, and with the cooperation of the otherclubs it is sure to prove a great success. — Ainsworth Bennett UTT 7f, i:: clDCT -r, ■ L J‘ B - V£ li! .f '3'lilO 0£lv JO 9U0 ,i w i - ■ gi- ; • : , . 1: !

There were few members in it, but we all brought our dimes and after several unsuccessful trials we finally found a corresponding bureau which was able to supply us with the re quire d name s. Some of the members are greatly enjoying their letters from France while others are still waiting anxiously for their first letters. The club has been very interesting and beneficial to its members for through it we have been able to im prcveour o-n French by actually coming in contact with the language of France. Automobile Club During this year of the automobile club, of which Robert Bremer was president, wa accomplished a great deal in the art of driving. A few weeks were spent on the different parts of the car- its motor, gears, and other essential things - however, for the most part we studied about the laws and regulations of driving. We had many topics of discussion and were aided greatly by Mr. Spencer, the leader of the club, and a book of lews on driving. The automobile club was very interesting and educational and we hope it will continue. H. Muslyn Debate Club This year Clifton Springs High School had an unusual club known as the Debate Club. In only two countries in the world would such a club be allowed, that is, in the British Empire and the United States. In other countries people are not allowed to express differing opinions in public, and if they do, they are severely punished. The members of this year's club were Bill Manley, Drew Morris, Hall Stewart, and Bob Bremer. The club planned to have debates with neighboring schools, but since thev could not be arranged in time, we were unable to try cur skill against them. The members, however, held a debate among themselves which was given as an assembly program. The' quest ion debated was - Resolved; That Franklin D. Roosevelt Should be re-elected President of the United States . Kail Stewart and Bob Bremer took the side of the affirmative while Drew Morris and Bill Manley took the negative side. The judges were Miss Frantz, Miss Howard, and Mr. Gazlay. The affirmative side managed to win by the vote of two to one, R. Bremer Foreign Correspondence Club The Correspondence Club was organized with Miss Frantz as the faculty advisor last September. This was not a newly organized club but it has proved interesting to those who had belonged to it in former years and also to the new members. The members are corresponding with both boys and girls in many different countries and sectidns of the world. Some of the counties to which the members are writing are England, Hungary, Germany, Switzerland, Porto Rico, New Zealand, and Argentina. Carrying on correspondence with pupils in different countries is more than a hobby it is also educational. Many gifts are received from our pen friends and they are greatly enjoyed by all. Some of these are post-cards depicting scenes from the different countries, newspapers, stamps, calendars, and often photographs are exchanged. By these means the pupils become very well acquainted with their pen friends,as well as deriving much pleasure from their correspondence. L. Schanz Social Science Department The Social Science Department under Miss Howard's direction has been more active this year than in previous years. After the political debate, which was held for an assembly program, the members of the Social Science Class conducted a straw vote in Miss Howard’s room. Only Roosevelt and Landon were mentioned on the ballots receiving 86 and 88 votes respectively. Those who voted were the high school pupils and faculty, and the seventh and eighth grades. As everyone enjoyed the election immensely and gained much valuable information and experience, we hope that it will be continued in the future whenever possible, Another interesting and valuable project of the Social Science Department was the writing of 1COO word essays on The Making of the Constitution',’ this year being . r • ' rsi'H.' ssiM ©i©w asgl )nBrr. ©Jbie ov 1 enri.

While this constitution has not been completed in this school year, it will undoubtedly be completed next year and the school will have a real organized plan of government. The members of the council hod complete charge of arranging assembly programs throughout the year and this too was very successful. The work of the council during the latter part of the year wcs taken up with changing the various numbers of activity credits awarded the students for their work in sports, clubs, and other school activities. The number of credits required have been raised for both beys and girls due to the increase in the number of intramural sports and also the increase in the number of clubs. Under mr. Button’s supervision the council made vast improvements in this line. The Student Council of 1937 - 1937 was made up of the following students: President - William Manley Secretary - Aleine deGraw Members Harry Carver Marcia DeVall William Driscoll Paul Hughson Felix Landschoot ____ Mr. Korb:- Bob, what do you expect to be when you graduate.

They are the physical education classes, intramural activities, and interscholastic athletics. The physical education program as a whole is set up to improve health, posture, and body mechanics, to afford room and activity for body growth, and to provide exercise, relaxation, and recreation for the pupils. The physical education classes are conducted for the entire student body. The first four grades have two twenty-five minute periods a week, the fifth and sixth have two thirty minute periods a week, and the seventh and eighth have two forty-five minute periods a week. In the four lower grades most of the time is spent in development of fundimental principles of action such as walking, running, jumping, and mimics. In the next two grades games of low organization such as squat ball, dodge ball, and soft ball, together with marching and tumbling are added. From the seventh grade on the periods are divided so that about one sixth of the time is spent doing calisthenics or tumbling, the purpose of which is to improve posture, body mechanics, and discipline, the rest of the time is used in developing and playing games of higher organization. Special attention is given to those people who have minor physical defects such as underweight, bad posture, or fallen arches, and records are kept of their progress as a check on improvement. Another feature of the program is the noon-hour program which is active from November to April. This program fords light physical activity that is both amusing and recreational for those people who bring their lunches to school. The intermural program which is competition withing the school has been accepted with great enthusiasm this year, the sports'that are used as intramural sports are_ selected because they have certain definite characteristics, they must be epjpyable, they must afford exercise, they must be difficult enough so that everyone has to put forth some effort to learn how to play them, and they must have a high carry over value. The intramural program has been set up with interclass competition with five divisions, seniors, juniors, sonhomores, freshmen, and the eighth grade. The competition has been recorded by means of a point system, Each team receives ton points every time they enter a term, ten points every time they play a game, and ten points every time they win a game. This year we have had a wide variety of sports which included touch football, horseshoes, basketball, volleyball, ping-pong, schuffleboard, deck tennis, foul shooting, boxing, wrestling, and softball. Next year soccer, paddle tennis, and a new indoor game, swar soccer will be included. This year competition has been very keen with first one class and then anc hej takmi the a n h sophomorcf tnj f r ' ' • • ' ffV T % , .? . • V 1 . . • • A, - • A • fr, O -;) iT| rfi f I V Uw 13 ■ • - • ‘ 4 1v ' • � . • • U sMJX V . f • • ;.i .. % T � r • A • ■ Jm - J V V � «i • r • • • • • M1 '� 4 • • - • ajs J 8 •j , , rio� .nse .

The boys had fair teams in each sport and managed to win their share of the games but were not champs in any. With the past year as a foundation for fundamentals in the various sports, the future does not look too bad. Due to pressure brought by the state department, girls’ basketball will bo dropped as an interscholastic sport next year. Play days will be substituted in its place. In other leagues the play-days have proven to be far superior to girls' basketball in that it affords activity for more girls, it does not bring about that state of nervous anxiety that is present in basketball, it includes more activities, it lasts the whole year instead of just the winter months. For next year a schedule of play-days has been drawn up, the first one being in October at Manchester, a soccer play-day. The next one will be a volley ball play-day at Clifton Springs. Next year the firls will be instructed for Wo weeks in the fundamentals of girls’ soccer, then for the next two weeks they will have a series of practice games at the end of which the six girls that are the bust will be selected to go to the play-day. There will be six girls from each of the other schools in the league present and teams will be selected which will not have more than two players from the same school on the same team. Afterwards the girls will come in contact with the girls from the other schools on a much different basis which in turn brings about bettor feeling and sportsmanship between the schools. There has been quite a bit of work accomplished in teaching skills of the various sports to the grades. A league was worked out in the highest four grades and with the varsity basketball players as coaches some of the teams showed some real development. Next year a much more intensive program will be worked out along this line. The one great handicep of the present physical educ -ation program is the lack of anything that resembles a playground. A suitalbo playground large enough for soccer, baseball, softball, horseshoes, tennis, and most of ell a separate place where the smaller children can play without being bothered by the larger students is much needed. Mr. Gazlay (in geometry class): What is the unknown in this example? F. Laprossi: The answer. - - Mr. Spencer: Harry, have you forgotten what you learned in Physics this morning? Harry Carver: No, but give me time.

Those who took the trip were much impressed oy the ocuuty of the country around Hamilton and by the beauty of the University’s campus. At Syracuse the toys saw t ldwin-V’allsce defeat Syracuse 19-7. This was a very tarilling game with the under-dog Buldwin-Wallr.ee team pulling a big upset.

ATHLETIC BANQUET On Wednesday June 9th, the long awaited occasion finally arrived, the annual Athletic Banquet which was held this year in the auditorium in order to accomodate more than those who were to receive awards. Approximately 100 persons attended, out of which onlv about 30 received awards A very fine dinner was served under the supervision of the P. T. A. interrupted at various intervals by singing(?) which was lead by our former principal, Mr. D. B, Williams Mr. Gazlay acted as toastmaster and introduced Mr. Rose of Penn Yan, who gave a very interesting and imuse-ing speech on Inspiration . This was followed with the awarding of the prizes by Mr. Gazlay and Mr. Button acting jointly with the only weak point being that the letters had not yet been received from the company. Mr. Button explained that the letters were not awarded for athletics alone. They are activity letters and points are given for many other activities outside of athletics. This year with the introduction of intramural sports the girls and boys required credits had to be raised to 30 and 50 points respectively, and next year another raise will have to be made in order to make the pupils really show earnest work to obtain a letter. Those who received letters were:- A. deGraw, Marcia DeVall, Sara Jane Devereaux, Manion Goodman, Helen Hall, Ainsworth Bennett, Brew' Morris, Vincent Northrup, Francis O’Connell, Donald Vanderhoof. Letter with one star:- Helen Youngs, Ruth Garney, Doris Goodman, Robert Bremer, Richard Devereaux, Felix Landschoot, Bernard Ostrander. Letter with two stars:- Frances Mecomber, Thomas (O’Connell, Leonard Walters. Letter with three stars:- Mary Alice Madden, William Manley. The silver loving cup w'hich is to be awarded to the class, which has won the most intramural points could not be presented at this time as several intramural games are left to be played. It will, however, be awarded on the night of graduation. Frances Macomber received the sportsmanship banner of the Finger Lakes League - Section B, for the girls basketball team The following individual intramural bronze awards were present -Pnncr - Tfelfin Hall.
