We, the Senior Class, hereby acknowledge said will K0 be our last will and testament. Class Prophecy Christmas was approaching and I decided to entnist the management of my establishment, Engels' Home for Bachelors'-Young and Oljl, to my assistant and return to Manlius for the holidays. I arrived at the airport and was greeted by an old classmate, Howard Johnson. As we talked, I discovered that he is a mortician. He was returning'to Manlius after attending a convention where he demonstrated his deep- freeze method of burial. We boarded the plane and who should be the stewardess, none other than Lois Vandermoon. She told us that she owned interest in the Ford Corporation. Bob Fox, it seems, is a stock and bond investor in the same business. We took our seats and reminisced about our classmates. Howard told me that Dale DeSkeere was still trying to break Rip Van Winkle's record of sleeping one hundred years. Dale should be in pretty go'od shape after all the practicing he did during history class. As we flew over New Bedford, a snow storm forced the plane down. We decided to tour the countryside for any of our classmates while the plane was grounded. Walking through the congested throng of Christmas shoppers, we ran into a mink-wrapped blonde who was Joanne Hurley. She informed us that she was the gossip columnist of the Manlius Daily Blat and that Lucille Mich- lig was the editor. Both girls received their experience while working on the Manlius school paper. Joanne wanted to interview us, so she took us to lunch at the swankiest restaurant in town. The Console West. There we were greeted by the bustling proprietress, Melva Lang. She told us that she also owned a chain of drive-ins throughout the country. By the time lunch was over, the weather was clear. We returned to the plane and continued our journey. Without further mishap, we landed at the Manlius Air-- port. As we walked through the gates, a motherly woman struggling with two young Indians and laden with packages met us. It was the former Kathleen Schmitt who sa id she was going home after her last minute Christmas shopping. She never was one to do her shopping early. Howard haired ai taxi and we climbed in. Much to our surprise, Fred Alters was the cabbie. He'said he was running for President--president of the Manlius Liars Club. He was confident of this position since he had won the National Liars Contest. Furthermore his campaign manager was Jim Etheridge, a politician famous since his speeches in civics class in high school. We left the taxi and visited the site of the new high school. Here we met two class mates who had become teachers. Ned Swanson, after a thrilling college sport career, held the coaching position, He was still unmarried, so I presented him with my card. Ned also said that the athletic department was entertaining Otm Dobbeke, the famous pro-football player, at a banquet, Wealso talkedto Bill Gaunt, who is the vocational agriculture instructor. He agained the experience of teaching while substituting during his senior year. We left the school in search of Lola Schmidt and Joan Johnson, and met Admiral Roger Johnson of the USS Manlius, who was home for the holidays. Roger, although his ambition never showed, had joined the navv and was working to the top. He told us that the two girls, although married, were working in a downtown department store. Neon signs blazing out their wares greeted us as we neared the business section. One sign in particular caught our eye. It advertised Hanson's Cigars. Howard was manufacturing a cigr without ashes. In high school, he always left a trail of cigar ashes which he flicked on the floor. His, new cigar dispenses with this necessity. We finally entered the department store and found Joan and Lola's counter. They were working to help send their husbands through school. Lola gave up a concert pianist career to be near her poor husband. As a si delight, she gives crew cuts to the neighborhood ruffians. Joan is more fortunate. She holds stock in a bridgework factory. Suddenly we were interrupted by a commotion in the back of the store. The distressed manager was trying to brew a pot of coffee from week - old dregs. Ro Mueller never has learned the technique of using fresh coflfee when the coffee pot is empty. .After greeting Roy we left the store and separated to visit our own families. Joyce Engels and Howard Johnson Once a week under the super- vision of Mr. Davidson and the Ed- itor, Lucille Michlig, the picture staff has put out the REFLECTOR, It is smaller than previous ones, but has proved to be both interesting and entertaining, Patriotism This annual has been published because of the hard work and deter- mination of the annual staff. We hope you will be as proud of it as they hope to be. Mr. Davidson served as our advisor and Lola Schmidt as our Editor. 9 Lola Mae Schmidt was chosen by the Seniors and the Faculty to receive the D. A. R award Tlus good cit izen award is based upon Dependa bility, Service Leadership, and JU IOR CLASS This year proved to be a very prosperous and successful one for the junior class. We received our class rings the latter part of October and we all think they are very nice. Our class took part in the annual magazine campaign, in which we did ve ry well. We have had many activities during this school year and they all proved to be successful. A public dance was held January 12, 1951, after the Sheffield vs. Manlius basketball game. Music was furnished by Skin- ny Blake and his orchestra. Our class play, Seventeen is Terrific, was presented January 20, 1951. A bake sale was held during a foot- ball game at the beginning of the school year. The planning and hard work of all our class members and class sponsors was well rewarded when the gala affair of the Junior-Senior Prom turned out to be a huge success. Our class has decreased again. This year we have only twenty-one members in our class. BACK ROW, left to right: Gyles Gish, Ronnie Lundgren, Marjorie Eickmeier, and Joanne Hewitt, Bob Etheridge, Robert Lind, Jimmy Hewitt.

The class was composed of sixteen girls and twenty boys. At the beginning of the second sem- ester Janet Pyse transferred making a total of thirty-seven. We have the distinction Mrs, Ballard of being the largest class in the building. We found Junior High to be a very busy place.

The boys have enjoyed taking part in many athletic activities. We elected Beth Swanson and Marilyn Gallentine as cheerleaders from the seventh grade. Pres. ..... . . .

Most of the fall months were devoted to preparing music for the football games. The band played at all these games and marched and played for Homecoming. After the football season, emphasis was placed on concert music and the band first performed at the Christmas concert. The next event for the band was the District Band Contest in which it participated. Four members from the band also performed solos at the District Solo Contest. Twenty-one members of the band played with the massed band at the Little Eight Music Festival. The band also gave a complete concert in conjunction with the grade school band this spring. The effort through- out the year has been to perform as many different types of music as possible and thereby widen the musical experience of all the members of the band. 1' Contest Soloists This page is sponsored by Gensters my Goods, Wingers Grocery, II.

Football We completed our second successive undefeated football season with a record of nine wins and no losses. This made the eighteenth straight win for our Red Devils and the fourth undefeated season in the last five years. Three boys: Otto, Fritz, and Ronnie, made the first team on the all-conferenceteam. Two-Ned and Dale -made the second team, while the remain- ing boys on the first team all received honorable mention. We had fifteen lettermen, but Ned, Howard J., Dale, Otto, Bob F. , and Bill G. are seniors so that leaves only nine for next year. They are Fritz, Bob L., Ronnie, Gyles, Don, Billy L., Kenny, Lewis, and Jim. Much credit for this fine record is due to our new coach, Dick Zuege, and his assistant, Hal Scholle.
