To Miss Peck, class adviser and home room teacher for the class of l958, we wish to say a fond farewell. Your untiring efforts and enthusiastic encouragement, which have enabled the members of the class to achieve what they most desired, will long be remembered. Whether it was class play, annual Senior party, candy sales, year book with all the many details of preparation and expense to be looked after, you did not fail us. You have been more than teacher to our classg we have looked to you for counsel, relying on your sympathy, understanding, rare judgment and true friendship. To us you have been the ideal teacher, very human, sharing not only our serious but also our lighter moods. We feel certain that all the graduating classes which have gone out from Blasdell High School during Miss Peck's thirty-four years of service feel as we do and join with us in wishing her years of retirement may be the happier with the remembrance of appreciative student friends and the satisfaction of work well done.

You have finished your high school work and are ready to take your place in life with other boys and girls, now called men and women. A few of you are going to school, others will find employment, while some of you will be less fortunate in these trying times, no matter how anxious and willing you are to work. I say to you, Class of '58, have faith. Have faith in the ideals of your forefathers, who established, at so great a sacrifice, your country--a country which has weathered the severest storms. This country is now being swept by a spirit of unrest and unemployment. You will be called upon to helpwshoulder'the responsibility of bringing it back to normal. You are not launching out into an easy sea of lifeg you are leaving your high school to embark.upon a storm- tossed ship, which will sail through deep, rough waters. I bring to you this thought, HAny ship can conquer the placid sea, but great ships are those that conquer a ferocious sean. With the faith of your forefathers, I know that you can conquer: I have faith in you, Glass of 'ssl Bon VOYQSB- r nc pa :QE 4x,.,.x,? wgx., 4, gh yur. cfbfiffE'L?EZa?iH'i'23'K?Ll'C rbmQ.'L:XQ'W!,Hi!lP!sE5ikYZ'H!5Fi.h'P7z'Si'3w!M' - .f.1 1 1 - .. 1 .

Peck, who is retiringXfrom teaching at the close of this school year, was born in the town of Pembroke, Genesee County. After finishing the grammar grades in the district school near her home, she took her teacher training at Genesee state Normal School, graduating from that institution in January 1900. Her first teaching position was in a district school in the town of Benning- tnn, Wyoming County where she taught two years of thirty-two weeks each at the munificent salary of 36.00 per week the first year and 36.50 per week the second year. For the two years following, having proved her ability as a teacher, she secured a school in the neighboring town of Darien, where there were more pupils and a bit higher salary. In the spring of the second year to take charge of a souvenir booth at for St. Louis, she carried with her a grades in the Biasaeii High School at Early in her thirty-fourth years the St. Louis Exposition. When signed contract to teach Fourth at Darien, Miss Peck resigned her position she left and Fifth the opening of school in September l904. of service in Blasdell High School, Miss Peck was advanced through Sixth, Seventh, and Eighth Grades to her present position as vice-principal and registrar. To keep pace with these promotions and modern trends in education, Miss Peck has taken summer extension courses at Albany State Teachers' College. Succeeding members of the Board of Education, principals, fellow parents, students and alumni members have always paid tribute to Miss high professional spirit, her ability to inspire to fine endeavor and votion to the boys and girls of Blasdell High School.

The old school was built in 1843 and was used until 1894. It was a one room, one story frame building. The entrance door faced the Milestrip Road. As you entered you saw rows of hooks where the children hung their wraps placing their dinner pails underneath. Inside was a large room with three big windows on each side. Along these windows were rows of double seats. Down the center there was the teacher's desk and between it and the first desk was recitation space. In the center of this was a big stove. As the number of pupils increased the woodshed, which was hitched on the back, was used as part of the school On Sunday it was used as a Sunday School. The doors of the school were opened and locked by a key eight or ten inches long. School was called together by a small brass hand bell and the classes were opened by the use of a desk bell. The first boy at school each morning built the fire and another brought the water from a near- by farm house. In this school our present library was started by the members of the NCoterie Circlen. Early in 1992 or 1894, the pupils left this building with appropriate farewell exercises and marched, en masse, carrying all the properties of the school to the new building. The new building either side of the hall. After a year shades Pupil: and teachers labored hard on the drama ed out very successful. This drama was given had two rooms downstairs, one on were ilaced at the window. nOut in the Streetsn, which turn- to raise maoneyfor boois. The ole fram school building soon became too small so that it was necessary to build a new one. The people voted to build a brick building. It was started in April 1911 and the following November pupils and teachers moved in. There were four rooms downstairs, upstairs there were the study hall, the office and three class rooms as they are to-day. The upper story of the frame building was made into an auditorium. What had been the Science labratory at the rear of the building became the stage. Downstairs was a small kitchen and teachers' room. In 1914 the vault was put in the basement. The heatpng plant was in the old building and for the first time an automatic system of heating was used in the school. In 1912 the first graduation exercises were held. In 1924 the brick building was found inadequate for the increased student body. At a special school meeting in November 1924 the people voted to tear down the wooden structure at the back and build a fire proof brick addition in its place. On june 20, 1925 exercises were held at which the cornerstone was laid. Within this cornerstone was a copper box in which were placed pictures of the Board of Education and architect, notice of bond issues and annual school meetings, a list of the Alumni members and all the children in attendance The box was soldered together by Mr. Kahler and lr. Brunner. Several members of our graduating class began kindergarten and first grade in the Chapel on Arthur Avenue while this school was being finished. The plans of the building made no provisions for a second story floor over the auditorium A special meeting was called in June 1925 at which the people voted to make all of the addition tow stories high. There were twenty rooms in the new section. At this time a kindergarten was added and the elementary grades were separated from the high school. The library, which had formerly been combined with the office, was moved to the new section and new equipment purchased. Drawing and music rooms were provided. Xie first entertainment which was held in the new auditorium was the Senior play of 1926. This class was graduate from the new school. In 1928 a Commercial Department was In 1929 a Manual Training room was equipped in the basement of the ing. The faculty has increased to twenty-xis the first to started. old build- in number.,JCh 1937, the Board of Education purchased some land across South Park Avenue so that the students could have a place to carry on their sports. This is a Story of our present school. Nay it continue to grow and improve as it has in the past.

Mr. Scott conducted classes as usual on Thursday, March lO, but word came Monday that he was in the hospital. He died Thursday, March 17, 1938. From earliest childhood, our Mr. Scott showed the deepest interest and ability in music. Many stories have been told of his efforts to realize his ambitions. When very young, he was given a violin and his older brother was presented with a horn. Becoming discouraged with his violin, he gave it away. But the urge to master it was too great, and he demanded it back again. He never gave it up again. The violin we have seen him play is one of the oldest in ' the country and he valued it highly. A Not satisfied with one instrument, he would steal away to the woods with his brother's horn. One day when company was present, his brother was asked to play a certain piece on the horn. Big brother could not play, but little brother could and did. When he was thirteen he organized a band and orchestra in his home town, practicing in an old barn or in the woods. He began playing for dances when he was sixteen. Soon he was in great demand inall the towns around, being booked up several weeks in advance. Newspaper clippings, now yellow with age, still bear proof of his popularity and sing praises of his entertainments. After leaving Sinclairville, he and his wife lived for some years in Sharon, Pennsylvania. Two sons, Harold and Malcolm were born to them there In 1908, they moved to Akron, New York and in 1916 to Buffalo. Their son, Harold, who was to have been a lawyer was killed in the World War,ten days before the Armistice was signed. Mrs. Scott passed away in 1926, after an illness of two years. Wherever Mr. Scott lived, he organized a WScott Orchestrau which became popular in the surrounding country. At one time he was in an orchestra con ducted by Victor Herbert which traveled with a theatrical company all over the United States. The company disbanded in Texas and Mr. Scott became dir ectcr of a band in Odessa, Texas, where he remained for some months. Later he had bands in Clarence, Williamsville, Corfu. His Corju band was an outstanding feature of the Batavia Fair for many years. In Akron he was also irector of the Methodist and Presbyterian Church Choirs. Hr. Scott came to Blasdell in 1927 and organized our band and orchestra Un er his leadership we won several cups at the Erie County Fair. Last year he was given special recognition there for his splendid work in the musical field. He was the oldest band director in Western New York. Proof of his ability as an instructor is the fact that a member of one of his bands was accepted immediately upon examination by the Boston Con- servatory of Music. Other members of his bands and orchestra in Blasdell have gained recognition in Buffalo. Robert Hall has been accepted also into a band at Indiana. He composes a quantity of music, writing the complete orchest trations himself for many compositions. A prayer service was held at his late residence in Buffalo on Monday morn- ing, March 21, at ten o'clock. The Band and Orchestra were represented by Six delegates chosen to attend. They were William Herrick, Howard Pfalzgraf, Arthur Leyda, Jean Page, Phyllis Hall and Donna Ringer. Members who repre- sented the Facutly were Mr. Buesch, Miss Peck, Mr. Mead and Miss Brewer. At 10:10 o'clock, the student body at school stood silently in his memory. At exactly the same time the Pastor was completing his prayer service. The burial was held at Sinclairville, New York at l:OO PAM. The death of Mr. Scott removes from our midst, one who will never befor- gotten. His cheerful disposition, willingness to help, and his untiring patience with us will never be forgotten and will remain with us forever. ff-ffssnem '- .

What I now think of your Senior Class, You have been brave enough to ask. Teddy, your President, is a credit to all. And Ann, as a negress, brought down the hall. Michael keeps us so nice and clean, While Irene's typing is everywhere seen. John and Russel both entered into sports And so did Margaret Sturges by all reports. Mabel and Vera are together seen, And Nellie Mcvhirter may be found between. Roswell made a very fine cop. And Gerald works way down in the shop. Mary Jane saws, and Marjorie sings. And George peddles papers until the bell rings. Ethel and Ivy gives us music so fine, And Arthur keeps the band in time. Patricia sews and is hard to beat. While June and Ruby keep house very neat. Mary Pauline sings the blues away, And Lois Jeeps at the end of the day. Helen mends notebooks by the score, And Howard chats outside my door. Dorothy and Margaret are Girl Scouts true, And Agatha giggles the whole day through. Christian and Kathryn together have worked. While Donna and Gertrude no duties have shirked. I have told, in rhyme, what I think of your class.

This is very un- fortunate for Snooze because he is in love with Dolly McSpad- den. Professor JcSpadden is expecting a wealthy Count, who he hopes will donate the final fifty thousand dollars for the college endownment fund. Because Snooze has had another encounter with a speed cop while he was getting a costume for use in the May Festival program, which is to take place that evening, he disguises himself as the proprietor of a delicatessen store. Snooze is mistaken by the Professor for the Count. As the traffic officer is present at the time, Snooze is obliged to continue the deception. During the program Snooze keeps his head despite the confusion and the interest taken in him by Miss. Agatha Lockstep.

We have a very capable dir- ector, Miss Brower who has been our director for a year. Under her direction we took first place in the Music Festival at Fredonia. After emerging with high honor from the competion at Fredonia, we went to Jamestown to compete in the New York State Semi-Finals, passing by the cemetary at Sinclairville where our beloved band and orchestra director, Mr. Scott was buried. We came out fourth at Jamestown. Boys' Glee Club The Boys Glee Club of 1938 consists of sixteen members. It was reorganized after Miss Partridge, our former music teacher left, by her successor Miss Brewer. The first public appearance of the Glee Club was at the P.T.A. where they sang nKentucky Babe', WThe Joy Songn, UMarines Hymnn and WIn My Cabin of Dreams'. This was quite well liked by those attending. On May sixth, the Boys Glee Club attended the Music Festival at Cheekto- waga along with the band and orchestra. They were led by Miss Brewer and the accompaniest was Alice Zimmerman. The boys sang nThe Winter Songn and two negro spirituals, namely, NIt's Men and nKentucky Babes. All the members of the Glee Club are participating in the Operetta comprising the main boys' parts and the chorus. According to Miss Brewer there will be no Boys' Glee Club next year but a mixed chorus. High School Orchestra During the past year, seven new members have joined the orchestra. There are six Seniors, Donna Ringer, Anne Adrian, Ethel Selly, Arthur Leyda, Howard Pfslzgraf and Agatha Metzger, who belong to this group. The first public appearance the orchestra made was at the American Legion Program last November. On May 5, the orchestra played in Woodlawn High School for the Teachers' Conference. Cn May 6, the orchestra went to the annual music festival at Cheektowage, where it showed its ability: The orchestra has played at such festivities at the Senior play. Speaking Contest and Graduation. Last March its well loved leader, Mr. Scott, passed away. Upon his death the leadership of the orchestra was taken over by Miss Brewer. Through her efforts, the orchestra has been successful and we hope it will continue to succeed. High School Band I t the be inning of the school year, we started to have our practice meet- A 8 ing on Tuesday mornings from 8:15 o'clock to 9:45 o'c1oGk- On September 13, we attended the Erie County Fair in Hamburg. Our band director, Mr. Scott, received special recognition as being the oldest music director of School bands in western New York.

'W il T Football Jack Sohwindler Coach Charles-Mead Teddy Prusak Manager Michael Kozak The boys started the season with a light team that had little actual ex- ence against a powerful class A East Aurora team. During a tight hard t game Blasdell managed to capitalize on a very neatly manipulated play won by the score of 6:01 Following the upset of this previous game the Red and Black raiders lost West Seneca in a game dominated by fumbles by the score of l2:6. This was a break but in the following game against the powerful, highly favored, un- ted Pine Hill team, the lads emerged with a split 7:7 score. The next trup was to Lancaster where the team met Alden in a night game. game was snatched by the Blasdell UNight Hawks' by the score of 7:0 against scrapping team. Then came the raing for in the following game the Blasdell umuckrakers' to 12:0 victory against Sloan. It is a customary event for Blasdell to line up eleven's against Hamburg fend what a scrap takes place is just what two rivals could make lt. It was Manother rain soaked field and the battle was on. During this game there were Qthree facts to be noted. First, our fullback received a fractured leg bone in Qfa desperate plunge. Then when Hamburg punted, the spectators watched Arthur 5fLeyda take the ball on an excellent catch but did he run? No, not that he was 'Qleary of the Hamburg eleven, but he just felt like being gentlemanlyg so he tiurned around and tossed the ball to another player. CHow's that Artj. The third fact was that Blasdell emerged victorious by the score of l4:6.
