26 THE POINTER-BEMUS POINT, N. Y. THE POSTCRADS HEN school began in September. there were several of the Class of '31 back at school-Leslie Ward, Stuart Russ, Isabel Underwood and Carl Carlson. Jessie Elwell also came back for a short time. In January, Inger Sturup, an ex-Senior from the Mayville High School, came to join our ranks and Isabel left. So we have four post grads at this time. Leslie is taking a special course in an effort to gain a University Scholar- ship. He plans to attend some college to take up engineering, probably mechanical. He seems to be making a good attempt at it. Perhaps we shall someday read about some new invention that he has made. Stuart is taking the same sort of a course as is Leslie, except that he plans to follow in the footsteps of our science professor and take up a course in Chemical Engineering. Carl is taking a course to make up some of the subjects he needs in order to enter Colgate. He only needs to come to school a half day, the lucky dog. Inger is taking a course of the same type as is Carl. She plans also to enter college. We members of the post grads wish to thank the Juniors for this space in their publication and hope that it is a great success. MEMORIES I think that I shall never see A car just like Van's old taxi, A car piled full of kids at noon, And zip: around the corner with a zoom, A car all daubed with orange paint With wise-cracks many not for the saints, The old tin can sure did its best, Parked outside in the cold at Westisg Along country roads it knew its way, And never faltered by the way, And now I gaze and gaze a lot At Van's old hack out in the lot. -.I .I..I.

28 THE POINTER-BEMUS POINT, N. Y. HOMEMAKING I 6' II HE girls of Homeniaking I started off the year canning tomatoes. All of them turned out but only three cans that were non-perish- able. However, three cans of tomatoes would go a long ways in this depres- sion. It was peculiar how Mr. Gerber just happened to come down the day we were making candy. And it was still more peculiar how he managed to find something wrong in the lock of the Homemaking door. But he went away as soon as he had received some candy. The boys thought the candy was a Christ- mas present because it disappeared from the cupboard all of a sudden and they didn't even thank us. We made a vegetable dinner a short time ago and stored up a few vita- mins. Also the girls have finished their caps and aprons. -V. T. HOME ECONOMICS V 6' VI At the start of the year Miss Wilbur started us ofi' with interior and ex- terior decorating. Then came the many periods of furniture and it almost put us to sleep counting them. Then Miss Wilbur hit upon a great idea and took the class to the furni- ture factory. There we learned more about furniture than any teacher could teach us. lt was so interesting in fact, that the girls hated to leave. Ctwas a blond.j Around Christmas that tell tale ring on Miss Wilburls finger signified her departure and Miss Wallace came to fill her place. At first our class had a little difficulty in getting along with her because she insisted on calling us alittle girls and uchildrenn but later refrained from this practice and called us just girls , Then came the BABY PROJECT and we were reciting milk formulas for weeks. Next the baby's hath, accomplished by means of a doll to go through the necessary motions. When the project is finished the girls should be able to successfully conduct themselves later. -P. E. T. We Seventh and Eighth Grade pupils are painfully laboring through an introductory course of Home Economics. Some of us have nearly mastered the art of holding the needle and correct manipulation of the thimble. Of course the older and wiser girls are trying to set a good example for us, but they are not succeeding very well, as long as Midge shoots baskets and Perra stops for a short talk or drink before and after each class. But just the same the tables are turning. Miss Wallace doesnit obligingly follow us to our room any longer. We are trying to set the other more brilliant class a fair example of several Angels taking, Home Economics. Before the year is completed it is hoped that the sewing machine can be conquered by the proteges of Miss Wallace's Home Economics Class. -R. E. M.
