Class History On a sultry day in July the sun shone through the branches of the trees overhanging the river and fell upon the sleeping figures of two boys in overalls. The fishing poles were dangling in the water and a nibble startled Pete Turner who threw up his arms. Drawing in his line, he shouted to his sleeping friend, Jimmie Stone. Labor omnia vincitf' Jimmie roused from his dreams, brushed his hands over his eyes and said lazily, What? , I said, hollered Pete, oh, never mind. It's Latin and you won't know the meaning anyway. If you said Latin, you mean Miss Hospers. O, Boy, remember the tar mask of Miss Hospers that one of the students put on the back of the Freshman homeroom? Miss Hospers was the girls' Freshman Advisor, wasn't she? Yes, and Mr. Lewis was the boys','f answered Pete. Gee, those days seem far away but one thing we freshmen didn't have to undergo was initiation. We started that in our Sophomore year in the Class of 1936 Who were our Freshman officers? IDidn't we have a Freshmen party? asked Jimmie, rolling over on his stomach. One question at a time, big boy. Marion Yeomans was our President. I can't remem- ber the rest. Sure, we had a Freshman party. Don't you remember Marhlon dancing with the broom? I Wasn't Reginald President in our Sophomore year? I know Bernice Olney was Vice- President because I remember her and Fannie, our secretary, distributing the oranges we won-what did we win the oranges for? Anyway, I remember I had one orange. It was in the Junior year that our salutorian, Martha Patten, joined us, wasn't it? Pete, how come we had two secretaries. and Girls' advisors that year? asked Jimmie. I know, said Harold jumping up. i Vivian Griswold moved away so Reginald took his place and Miss Weatherlow left school so the girls elected Miss Dutcher. Gold old Benjie, whom we saw in Washington, was our advisor and Charles Fox, our senior Presi- dent, kept our moneyf, J Harold, what were our class colors? continued Jimmie, Sodus High School's re- nowned question-asker. ' Oh, Jimmie, don't you remember? Old Rose and Silver and they seemed to be the death of us. We used the Senior class's colors, green and gold, for our Junior Prom. Don't you remember how they asked us on class day if our colors weren't any good because we used theirs? We told them they were Dutch colors. We had a swell Prom with our Dutch scenery and little Dutch maids, ,Edith and Doris, serving the refreshments. We made money on it, too. And then, Jimmie, we entered our important Senior year. The girls elected Miss Andrews, as their advisor and us boys elected Mr. Rude as our advisor. Say, you were vice-president, weren't you? Who was secretary?,' gasped Jimmie. You ought to know. It's funny you would forget when it was Margaret Brown. And also for your information Betty Belden handled the money bags. Look, Pete, the sun is sinking. We've spentnso much time recalling past times that we haven't noticed the time. Let's go home. The two boys picked up their things, linked arms and started down the path singing, Should auld acquaintance be forgot, And never bro't to mind? Should auld acquaintance be forgot, And days of auld lang syne? For auld lang syne, my dear, For auld lang syneg We'll take a cup o'kindness yet For auld lang syne. So they departed with the notes of that song ringing through the forest. ll Jia..-

What happy times at Sodus High! Yet through our hearts much sorrow rings. The sadness comes when we must leaveg Each to his chosen way must go, Each has his purpose to achieve, And into greater knowledge grow. But still our motto reads Success, So why be sorrowful today? Accomplishment brings happiness, And our success should make us gay. By MARTHA N. CAMP. '35 Class Song THE CLASS OF THIRTY-FIVE Four years ago we started here Determined to conquer life To fit ourselves for a career We began with toil and strife. When sophomores we were so wise Because our start was best Some left because of poor advice The rest of us stood the test. The junior year is cne of fun When we have climbed the hill And many of our tasks are done But we have won by will. The good old seniors are the best And folks will honor us For we have ended the greatest test We began and thought we must. CHORUS Cheer the class of thirty-tive From green frosh to seniors brave Now we are honored by Sodus High After those happy days. By MARTHA N. CAMP 1To the tune of Solomon Levi

Junior Class Once upon a time, there were some youngsters who, because they knew how to spell it and thought it seemed a great word, chose the name of a certain brand of milk for their class flower and designated such as a white CARNATION. Since these same kiddies had heard that a motto is in order in such a group, they chose Honor waits at labor's Gates. It so happened as a surprise to all, that these little folks struggled from one subject to another until they were no longer called kiddies but other names-various other names. Then on one great and ordinary day they became that part of the High School firm which does all the work, spends most time in the office, helps the weak but willing first year people, and is considered elegant, sophisticated and substantial by the Seniors-in other words, became the junior Class. Time alone, they say, can tell of greatness and since time is busy fleeting, it behooves this star reporter to relay to you the actions of this meek, modest, but powerful class. From the start the class showed intelligence by selecting Miss Greene and Mr. Thomas as advisors. Then to go with this gallant combination these officers were chosen: Preridefzr .....................,....... jAMEs MYERS lfice-Preridefzf ..., ........ W ILLIAM Fox Secretary ....... . , .ELIZABETH VAN HEE Trearnrev '.... ...................,... A LICE LOCKNER Next, because all dues were fnotj paid and just for a good start, a stupendous party was enjoyed by all. Soon a great spurt of energy and enthusiasm wrapped all of Sodus in wax paper which the juniors sold. Stopping at nothing, they showed the community some real talent when they produced their hit show-their only one and play of the season, ln an Airplane Passenger Station. It was miracu-lous to hear Lawrence Wiest in his airplane and see 'john Herman in his regalia. But read onw-the juniors gave a great garden party on june 7 and once more All ye community's Lads and Lassies tripped the light fantastic. And then feeling sorry for them and sorry about them, the great juniors joined the Great Seniors for a great picnic at Owasco Lake--Great Day! Continue readinga-read until you realize the athletic ability of these sons and daughters -how many of them made Varsity Teams Q Westie was even captainj and how the boys and girls each won the Intramural basketball Championship. And now ceaseArelax--the tale is over-fit's been a great year for the juniors but think of next! --+25 12 ls--
