mt h ycTI Bolivar Central School On September second, nineteen hundred thirty, some one hundred forty-three students, for the first time entered the new Bolivar Central High School. Forty-eight Freshmen: active, willing, ambitious Freshmen brought together by Fate to strive to keep up with the progressive world. They were placed under a worthy adviser, Mr. Coplai, whom the class wish to thank for his help in preparing them for a higher education and for the higher ideals of life, and for placing them one step higher on the Ladder of Success. Loretta Shaner, president of the class; William Whitford, secretary; and Barbara Bliss, treasurer are entitled to much praise for their part in trying to make the year one of success. Clara May Graves, George Ackerman, and Edith Rogers also did their bit for the class, as monitors, and the latter two as members of the Student Council. As a whole, the year was a howling success and the Class regret that they will not have Mr. Coplai as class adviser next year and are hoping that they will have one as co-operative. Forty-seven Sophomores: studious, troublesome, lively Sophomores started the year with the election of a class adviser and class officers. Mr. Kyser was elected as class adviser while the class officers elected were thus: Nellie Batterson, president; Earl Ackerman, vice-president; William Jones, treasurer; Veryl Casey, secretary; Elizabeth Dougherty and Clarence Schaffner as members of Student Council. TheClass wishes to thank Miss Martiny who had charge of their room throughout the year, as well as Mr. Kyser, their adviser, for the help they gladly gave to the Sophomores. Through their help the Class maintained a very high scholastic average throughout the year. The boys also had a basketball team which came second in rank as champion class team. TheClass are looking forward to the coming year when they all hope to qualify asJuniors,andpass into the room which will be awaiting them. Twenty-one Juniors: diligent, industrious, ambitious Juniors although the smallest class in high school was the only class to have two class advisers, namely Mrs. Davison and her successor, Miss Parker. The class officers were as follows: June Schmidt, president; Winifred Eisert, vice-president; Aldyne Hughes, secretary, and Esther Wightman, treasurer. TheClass has been very active all the year, the main events being a dance in the early part of November, another at Easter time, and three one-act plays. All three events went over big and from them the Class has more than enough proceeds to pay for the Junior-Senior banquet which is to be the biggest event of the year. The Class wishes to thank Mr. Coplai, the director of the Junior plays, for his co-operation in putting on the productions. They also wish to express their appreciation to Miss Parker for her advice and help in putting on their dances. Although the Class has been attentive to school activities outside the school room, they have not neglected their studies, and all of them are working hard to pass their regents so that they can occupy the place vacated by the dignified Seniors. Here's luck to them and their followers! Four hundred forty-eight grade pupils: peppy, mischievous, carefree they came to make the school complete. From the forty-two kindergarten babies, through the three hundred nine intermediate children, to the ninety-seven young men and women of the Junior High School, they are worthy of becoming the future representatives cf Bolivar Central School.

UWxMcnt ctiswft kWH The Future Stygian darkness surrounds us- a blackness so intense and material as to be almost felt. Before us, like a dazzling star alone in midnight skies, lies a clear crystal ball, one endowed with the powers of giving forth sounds and scenes of the future. As I now approach and demand the future of the Class of 31 the effulgent globe is already emitting strange sounds and fleeting glimpses. Come make haste, and gather round. Immediately we see Mary Ward the social leader, greeting her guests, the most honored of whom is Caroline Kirchgasser who won overnight fame for her successful flight across the 1 acihc. There is a sudden change. The crystal sends forth the hum of many typewriters. Of course, it is a large firm of which Robert Sawyer is president. Nearby at his desk sits his most competent secretary. Helen Potter, her mind at last liberated from the horrors of the diabolical grasp of irregular French verbs. Now we are shown the interior of a famed hotel, the usual gorgeous palms and orchestras. The manager, coumous young chap, is none but Glenn Hibbard. Ah. listen there, on one side is a popular dance orchestra broadcasting late blues. The announcer. Ed Dougherty, in accents cheerful, introduces the public's most favored artist, Bea Tyler, the girl of a thousand charms. This gay scene is interrupted by the faint, wavering notes of a piano within the Carnegie Auditorium. The player is Roy White, who has recently completed a successful grand opera. Again there is a change. We discern the glistening white rooms of a hospital. We see a familiar laughing face, that of Catherine Shannon. Sickness is now a pleasure. Beside her is her assistant, the former school comedienne. Carmen Clark, who could find humor in a morgue. But look, there we behold the exterior of a charming girls' college. Two pretty teachers rise before us. Do you not recognize them? They are Kathryn Donnelly and Ruth Harrington, teachers of Latin and English. One two. three, four, raise both legs high. Hear that well known voice. That is Mary K. Dougherty, directing health exercises. Mary being so fond of Virgil, might have been expected to be a teacher of a dead tongue. (?) Oh! Oh! What have we? Most perplexing indeed. Just a swirl of color and fantastic shapes. Of course, modernistic art, and who but George Davis could be the smocked figure in the midst. To our astonishment wc see Elizabeth Bartley, supple lass, armed with her culinary weapons.a teacher of the fast vanishing art of home making. And lo! mirabile dictu. there is Doris Sortore enveloped in downy textiles, fashioning modish gowns At her right, tripping before polished mirrors, a veritable Garbo, is the exquisite model. Margaret Shavalier. who has an extra Foot(e). But we expected that. What a din! The crystal shudders. It is the motors of a handsome plane. Look at its occupants, Russ Case and Byron Whitford, setting a new and startling endurance record. Russel, please note, has fallen asleep, evidently sorely afflicted with the old school day malady. However, his snores are much more tuneful, the result of long and difficult practice. Come, get in step. Hear those blues’ There is a chorus of swaying girls. Why, there is one actress with flaming locks. It is Maxine Simons, the girl with “it. enjoying stage success. Even now a camera man. almost hidden from sight under a burden of films, is ready to take the It girl’s picture for the papers. But to our far-seeing eyes he is only Stanley Root, still keeping a nervy pace with life. Now we see a familiar countenance. A girl whom we know as Evelyn Coon is teaching piano. We learn, not beyond our forethought, that she is the wife of Harold Newton, eminent scientist, who has successfully isolated the spring fever bacillus. Again we sec a very modern interior. A spacious hotel where gay crowds throng. Seated at a small table, vanquishing tasty delicacies, is Wrayburn Clark, who has grown wealthy through his patents of mechanical devices. But whose is this ducky little bungalow with those gay awnings? Let us look. There is our old standby. Hazel Clarke, performing her domestic duties. We don't know who is the fortunate gentleman, but we do know that Hazel will take care of him. Now what can this theater mean? Why it's a Shakespearean play, As You Like It.” that is being staged. Look with what infinite grace and charm the fair Rosalind, one Mildred Allen, moves about in the Forest of Arden. After the play, Mildred introduced me to her private secretary and old friend, Irene Barnes. Wasn t it fortunate that two such firm friends should be together through all the years? Thus did I, in a few moments, see the fate of my classmates, as a fate and destiny attained by good living and hard work. I was not a little pleased at the outcome. Everyone had made a success, enjoying life to its fullest extent. Rather reluctantly did I withdraw from the crystal, so happy had been the moments spent there, seeing old friends in their new surroundings
