All We ask is that each person of B. H. S. retain in his bookshelf of memories the Bataviau of 1936. Zlinrewnrh Behimtinn In loving memory of Regina Follett Whose unselish devotion to duty and interest in guidance of youth We shall never forget. ,lam 4,A vm' nm- , ' fm .fs f 5 '.:. .. - Mit Q' 'ZF'- fi.. rt romu, Libr:u'3'.

V7e will ever praise our High School Which in Batavia standsg Individual Instruction ' ' Known now throughout all lands, And its faithful corps of teachers Their duties never slight For they know that they are working For the Blue and the White. We recall athletic victories On many a day beforeg How we captured prize and trophy But still we wish for inore, But we 're sure that we 'll not falter As we renew the fight, Just because we 're marching onward 'Neath the Blue and the White.

Miss iiEHRING On September 25, l935 the student body held the annual elections for presidency and vice presidency of the G. O. Those candidates for President were Vllillis Shaw, Daniel Martin and Richard Smith. Candidates for Vice President were Jeanne Malis, Elsie llvare and Elaine Strouts. As a result of the elections, iWillis Shaw and Jeanne Malis became our new ofiicers. On September 27, 1935, lVillis Shaw launched the first General Organization Council Meeting for the year. Home room discussions were sponsored by our G. 0. Representa- tives this year during Junior High Assembly in order to give the student body participation in our council. Because of hobby periods the G. O. found it necessary to revise the point system and the granting of service awards. A special committee decided to lower the required points to fifteen. Vtfe are hoping that this new system will be as efiicient as the old one. The council also has established and sponsored successfully the Smoking Council, Moving-Up-Day, Point System Awards, and Ticket Activity Plan. CE. OB.

The inviting music of Joe Noble is University Revelers floated to their ears and urged them to join the other gay couples in the ballroom. As they hastily entered, a gasp of atonishment escaped their lips. Gaping about them, the two stepped into a waltz. They danced by cliffs of yellow and brown, projecting rocks of purple, walls of green and brown, and an underground lake of deep blue. Overhead was a roof of orange and blue. They were in an underground cavern. All seemed like the Isle of Capril' to 'tthe two .

MARY BICCULLEY Under the efficient supervision of Mrs. Kraemer the art members assemble for the purpose of promoting art. Dur- ing the club period they fashion many useful articles such as ash trays and bracelets from hammered brass. Since the club is smaller this year because of the hobby period, it has been able to sponsor the annual Christmas Sale. Every Tuesday after school in the lobby may be seen one of the art students selling candy. Proceeds from these candy sales were spent in purchasing the picture, Crow Indians Moving Camp by Hunter, which was presented by the President, Eileen VViggin, to the school. The art members are greatly indebted to their worthy ad- viser, Mrs. Kraenier, for their understanding and apprecia- tion of art. Top Ifozr-.I. Uannpohello, G. Kustas. NV. Kalivki. B. Leffel. A.

Qualifications for membership to the club are laid down by the National Honor Society and are based upon scholarship, leadership, character, and ser- vicew. Twice each year the newly elected members are formally initiated by the sponsor, Dr. Mytra E. Hmm. In October ten per cent of the upper third of the senior class with the highest scholastic record are chosen and again in March five per cent of the remaining upper third are finally picked by a faculty group of seven teachers. Before the Senior High School, the organization presented a play, Hlllhat Men Live By as a part of the second semes- ter initiation.

The Girls' Service League also had charge of ushering and ser- ving at all school functions. The club sponsored two dances this year, a Christmas dance and a Spring dance. The proceeds of the Christmas dance which amounted to fifty dollars were given to the Bata- vian. This year the club presented two assemblies for the benefit of the school. The iirst, a play A Dish of China Tea was presented under the direction of Miss Hale and Miss Gent- ner. For the second assembly, they financed a regular school program, which consisted of a well known football coach, Andy Kerr, as speaker. One of the greatest tasks which the girls undertook was buying a new false ceiling for the school. Top Roivf.I, NV:1rtl, H. Hermanee. R. Dwight, J. Main-uso, J. Sloviek. D. Brenman, A. Gard- ner, XV.

Due to the capable management of Jerome Pickert and the splendid cooperation of the stage crew, this year has wit- nessed a successful outcome. VVith the coming of June a great loss will be felt when the stage manager and his valu- able assistants, Robert Smith and Henry Taber, leave Bata- via High School. However, the other members have learned the work and are proficient in it. The stage crew spent many strenuous and arduous hours in the construction of the ship rigging for the ship scene in t'Captain Applejack. ' Dramatic plays, musical concerts, Batavian pictures, speak- ing contests, and assembly programs could never be realized without the interested cooperation and capable efforts of the stage manager and stage crew.

Amon 1' the numbers which the 0'rou sine' are: The Sea Z5 C1 Hath Its Pearls by Pinsuti, He's Gone Away by Cloheyg Vanka tn' Tanka arranged by Kibalschich and HA Violin Is Singing in The Street arranged by Koshetz. The boys and girls also sing as separate groups. The girls' selection is The Spanish Tambourine Girl by Schumann, while the boys' choice is lVater Boy arranged by Pitcher. This outstanding organization participate in the concerts and help at other school functions as well. This year they also sang at several outside affairs. Among them were: The New 'York State 'Parent Teachers convention at Hotel Statler 5 llfestern Zone Meeting of New York State Teachers Association, Joint Meeting of Schoolmasters' Club of Gene- see, lVyoming and Livingston County at Richmond lslotelg Alumni Meeting of Buttalo State Teachers College at Bata- via High School and at liuttalo in a High School t'horus under the direction of Dr. Hollis Dann, a noted American conductor.

QA 0 X XM' X I if XX' f ' Aw W Gulf Eighty-three In the spring of 1935, a league was formed of the golf teams representing the following schools: Niagara Falls, Lacka- wanna, Tonawanda, Trott, Kenmore, Amherst, Depew, Lan- caster, and East Aurora. They decided to play during both the spring and fall. Batavia joined this league in the fall, with fair results, winning from Tonawanda, Lancaster and Kenmore, and losing to others, except Trott, which with- drew. The matches are played with a four man team, and are rotated: that is, if we play Kenmore there in the spring, they play here in the fall. The fall team was captained by John Slovick, who was the only experienced player available for the fall team. The squad numbered about ten to twelve boys. The boys are looking forward to the district interscholastic- meet at Niagara Falls, on May 23, and to a resumption of the sport during this spring, when the team will be somewhat stronger, and, we hope, more successful. The complete spring schedule follows: May 7-Amherst .i,,.i.........r..... .... h ere May 12-East Aurora - A, there May 14-Lancaster --- in here May 19-Kenmore -- there May 21--Trott .-r...e there May 26-Tonawanda ,--- --- there May 28-Niagara Falls here June 2-Depew ..,7.... r,r, h ere June 4-Lackawanna - there SEASON 'S SCHEDULE Score B.

Even when things looked the darkest the exceptional res-ponse of the loyal supporters, many of whom were seen at all of the out of town frames seemed to put new pep and vigor into the team. O 7 Usually playing under either mental or physical handicaps or both, such as playing much more experienced teams or playing on the opponent 's gridiron, the team rallied together under the capable leadership of John Netzen and John Cas- senti and always gave their best. However, one of the main objectives of the season came out favorably. Playing host to our newest rival, Kenmore High School, Ed Allen leaped high into the air to intercept a Kenmore forward pass and raced 80 yards under perfect interference to score. Then later in the second quarter John Netzen crashed off-tackle and ran 40 yards almost unaided to score again. This concluded the scoring for the day for Batavia, but proved enough to win although Ken- more scored on a fluke with the opening kickoff in the second half. lVith many lettermen and capable reserves returning and by virtue of dropping out of the Major Conference to play in- dependent games, Coach Pierson has great expectation for his 1936 B. H. S. football team. Ellnnthall Eigll fy-fou V M, Q r . ,, , ,. 1 'fl P Y fe ,. i S 7 1 Third lfllll'-I:dXV2ll'd Allen, Ralph XYillizuns. .lzunes Ramsey.

With only two lettermen, Laverne Bacon and John Netzen, returning from last year's team that reached the play-offs and confronted with perhaps the most difficult schedule that a Blue and White team has ever faced, the outlook was enough to discourage almost any group of youngsters, most of whom were facing their first season of varsity competition. Ineligibility further crippled the team, leaving Coach Pierson with almost an entirely green team to start the majority of his games. The offensive was built around little Eggs Bacon, the highest scorer of the team for the season and John N etzen, the towering center. The other 'positions on the team were a constant worry to the coach. First one man would per- form brilliantly and then another. The main objective of the season was reached when the Blue and White defeated Le Roy twice, first on the small court at the village of Le Roy by the score of 40 to 20 and again on their home court by the score of 39 to 26. Also, on different occasions they displayed the type of basketball that they were capable of playing when they defeated Lackawanna, the leaders of the St Lawrence Lea- gue at that time and eventually winners of the play-offs. The score after a hard tussle was 22 to 21. One week later when Tonawanda was then tied for first position in the league standings, the fighting Batavia team again hit their stride and defeated by the score of 25 to 21. This shows that although they ended the season in last posi- tion they had the grit and determination to accomplish the impossible and place them on the standard of former B. H. S. basketball teams.

IVinters has one four letterman returning from last year's squad that won four meets out of six, third place in the sectional meet and participated in the zone meet held at Kenmore, the prospects of another good season are bright. In the 100 yard and 220 yard dashes Batavia will be weak with Jack Roeschlaub, a letterman from last year, the only one with any experience in these events. As in former years the 440 yard dash seems to be one of Batavia's strongest events. In this there is Wilson Mark, a runner of last year, and Bill Gallagher, an ineligible runner of last year, who showed much promise. Roeschlaub also ru11s this and is expected to gather a few points for Batavia. In the 880 yard run with Alton Tooley a letterman, and Ray Dustin and other reserves of last year, the competition will be keen for the first position. As always before, the mile run will be the weak link. Arthur Hessman, whose fastest time last year was 5 215, expects to break that this year. Vilith John Netzen, Cope-Dowd trophy winner for two years in a row, back again this year, a place in the Low-Hurdles is secure. Edward Allen promises to be a good understudy. In the field events Batavia will be good for many first places, but the seconds and thirds are doubtful. Batavia is almost sure of first places in the shot put with Netzen, winner in the zone last year in this event, although there are no reserves. The pole vault is one exception, with three men entered in this event. Clement Conley, a letterman, Bay Dustin and Joe Mancuso make up the trio. Again the High Jump will fall back into the most capable hands of Netzen and Allen, with Netzen having the edge by a little. The Broad jump also will see Netzen, who has made 20 feet, along, with Allen and John Carver. In the final event of each meet, the 880 yard four man relay race, there are three positions left open with only Jack Roeschlaub left from last year's crack relay team.

' Girlz' Zfiawkethall After a successful series of inter-class games, girls' basket- ball season came to a close with the Yale-Princeton game. The Yale-Princeton game was inaugurated five years ago, and each year since has taken place at the close of the inter- olass games. The two teams are composed of the best players from the four class teams. The game itself is a sure promise of good basketball, good sportsmanship and lots of fun for both participants and spectators. Our wish is that our games in the future may be just as good as those in the past. Ninety Zlnninr High 'LF-3535 'JL I I. E- Top Roll'-M. Church. M. Pickert. Mr. Kendall. Mr. Aderlnan. F. Ford, J.

FULLETT AS IVE KNEIY HER A better and more profitable life could not have been lived than that of the late Regina E. Follett. Miss Follett lived with the idea that there was more good than bad in the poorest of us, and she did not see much bad in anyone. Consequently, it was not very hard to please her. She was fond of the smallest thing and had a very sunny, sympathetic and understanding nature. Miss Follett pos- sessed a true sterling character. During her life Miss Follett had many hobbies. She was very thorough in her research of each and gained much knowledge out of each. Among her favorite interests were: stamp collecting, drawing, tennis, gardening, poetry, and nature, her best liked avocation. Miss Follett was a native of Batavia, having been born and reared here. She received her early education here, and, after college, she returned to Batavia to teach. She taught seventh and eighth year English, and Guidance and did advisory work. In all of her work she showed enthusiasm and sincerity. She loved children and did as much for the Junior High students as any one could. A more firm, true and sincere friend could not be found anywhere. A a result of this, she was greatly loved by her pupils. Miss Follett was known for her unbounded unselfishness and her progressive ideas. By the many little kndnesses Miss Follett did for everyone, she has endeared herself to all. On November 17, 1395, God willed it that the world should no longer benefit by and enjoy her talents. -Dorothy Woodttvard.

Applied to a career or a job in the business world this means: High School, then R.B.I., then a position in business. That's better than jumping right for a job and losing out through lack of a drill in business fundamentals and practice. Make your high school education mean more to you. Top it off with a helpful R.B.I. Day School Course. Information without obligation at BATAVIA BRANCH. ROCHESTER BUSINESS INSTITUTE 86 Main Street Batavia, N. Y.
