And those that were good shall be happy: they shall sit in a golden chair; They shall splash at a ten-league canvas from brushes of comets' hair. They shall find real saints to draw from—Magdalene, Peter, and Paul; They shall wor for an age at a sitting and never be tired at all!

BOLIVAR CENTRAL SCHOOL “The foundation of every nation is in the education of its youth. THE BOARD OF EDUCATION Bolivar Central School is rated by the State Education Department as one of the most efficient and completely equipped central schools in the Empire State. This high classification has been made possible through the untiring efforts and determination of our progressive Board of Education. They have given freely of their time and energy to this end without remuneration, save for the satisfaction of providing for the children of this vicinity the best educational advantages within their power. The Beard has provided a highly qualified faculty and efficient porters, also a shorter school day has been granted with provision for extra activities so that scholastic standards may be maintained. We, therefore, extend to the Board of Education our grateful thanks and appreciation not only for providing us with such a splendid building but also for the spacious and up-to-the-minute athletic field now under construction. For these duties well performed and for all their thoughtful considerations for the advancement of Bolivar Central School we take this opportunity to express our thanks and sincere appreciation.

We found a suitable location in the Freshman room and here we did little work except the driving of our stakes so we could gain a firm foothold for our later years. Our trials and misfortunes were many at first but under the skillful guidance of Miss Rosalia Marquart they were easily surpassed. In this hard struggle for future existence we left behind one of our original stake locaters, Jean Rockwell. We were a little more settled and accustomed to our new home when we entered our Sophomore year as rig-builders. This difficult task of rig-building progressed smoothly under the aid and skillful advice of Paul (Jake) Donnelly and in a few months the foundation of our life's career was well laid. Our smooth progress was interrupted by one disturbing and sorrowful incident, the death of builder Paul Stilson, small, but one of our ablest workers. As site locaters and rig-builders we had learned much to improve our trade and had become Masterworkmen, for we were now upperclassmen, ready to begin the drilling in our well of knowledge. First we selected our drillers, the foreman being Dick Sandford. Our first project was the Junior Play Nothing but the Truth,” under the direction of Mr. Coplai, our class advisor. Our next project was our Junior Prom and after that came our Junior-Senior Banquet, our farewell to those who would not be with us in the following year. At last we were almost within reach of our success, needing only to shoot our well of knowledge to gain it. With Mr. Coplai again as our class advisor, this last year was one full of pleasant memories, for Mr. Coplai was an able leader, ever-watchful of the welfare of his shooters. As shooters we sponsored our Senior play Come out of the Kitchen” and at the same time edited our year book “The Gusher.” Both were successful projects. Now we are looking forward to graduation and with regret we think of leaving behind our friends. For although our school years were filled with many trials and tribulations, they were also filled with many happy times, which more than overshadowed any dark cloud which might have appeared on our horizon. 22 A SENIOR FANTASY 'Twas a celestial haven, one that immediately invites dreams, and why not, for it was a veritable dream-world in itself. There was a small pool, bordered by lacy ferns, commingled with forget-me-nots. Its glassy surface was dotted here and there by wax-like water-lilies, 'twixt which beautiful swans, no less white than the lilies, majestically swam. Its smooth surface seemed an exact replica of the lofty canopy of heaven o'erhead, so clearly did it reflect the billowy clouds as they floated lazily by. As I sat there dreamily, my mind unconsciously turned to Bolivar Central School and the class of 35. How nice it would be to see them all again. But look, that cloud, reflected in the pool is bursting and behold— There appears a majestic forest and between the giant trees rides the forest ranger, none other than James DeGroff. But what is that droning noise, which is disturbing the habitual quiet of the forest? We follow the forest ranger's gaze upward and there we see an airplane. Look! The pilot is Earl Monroe, who is setting a new endurance record. Good luck to you Earl. Crack! Crack! Crack! What can this be? Ah yes, it is Jean Filips, who has her gym students doing exercises in time to the music of her gum. There is a sudden change and now I see an ocean liner plying its way majestically through the waves. On its deck sits Dorothy Jordan, a traveling companion, who is reading to her employer and can it be?—Yes, the book is one written in collaboration by Bea Collins and Bernadine Eberl—the outstanding book of the year. Now I hear an outburst of music and too there is a chorus of beautiful girls, swaying in time to the music and leading them is the star of the evening, titian-haired Wilma Perkins, doing one of the latest dances of the year. As the music comes to an end, and she makes her way to her dressing-room, she is met by Jane Herrick, a noted journalist, seeking an interview. Crandall Wilcox and George Oestrich, the stage managers are hastening to have the sets changed for the next act. This scene of turmoil is replaced by one of hushed quiet, as I see Theodore Dellone, Governor of New York dictating letters to his competent secretary Lucille Coyle and if I'm not mistaken the White House is not far ctf. Now I see another office, one where everything is characterized by business-like haste. Robert Wilson, the president of this large firm, is in conference with Thelma Richmond, a professional advertiser. In his outer office, Gertrude Shaner and Helen Salzer, his two private secretaries, are busily, at work, ever ready to answer his call. Now Fifi, you be a good little doggie, while mumsy has her hair fixed. Can it be? Yes it is Betty Morrow, now married to a millionaire and she is entering the exquisite Beauty Salon on Fifth Avenue, owned by Iola Greene and Maxine Swarthout. 23 Janet Case is the next one I discern, standing in the midst of her many colorful masterpieces, which have gained her world fame. She is now busily at work on a portrait, which, if I'm not mistaken, will also bring her renown and posing for her is that quiet little classmate, Amy Neugent, a pleasing model for any artist. Now, who is this we see? Ah, yes, it is the coach at Notre Dame better known as Dana Lewis, under whose skillful guidance Notre Dame has developed a championship football team. A game is in progress and Ray Peaslee, is breathlessly relaying the skillful plays to many thousands of excited radio listeners. I follow the sound waves, to a magnificent home and arrive just in time to see Richard Sanford, disgustedly turning off his radio, for it interferes with his work, of revising and rewriting Webster’s Dictionary. The scene changes and there now appears an exquisite college where I see the History teacher, Madeline Koehler, and the Science teacher, Sara Jayne Hartman busily engaged in their duties. Ah! What can such a tumultuous uproar be? There rises before me a large crowd cheering wildly as a plane skillfully piloted by Dallas Seamans, smoothly lowers itself like a bird to the ground. As it comes to a halt whom do we see stepping majestically from its cabin but the famous movie actor Albert Batsford, who has come to New York for the opening of his latest hit, “The Man About Town.” He pauses long enough for Eleanor Wilson to snap his picture for her select society magazine and then drives triumphantly on to a magnificient hotel, where amidst o'erhanging palms and the subdued music of an orchestra he is courteously and pompously greeted by Calvin Griswold, the Manager of the hotel. This scene of subdued light is replaced by the glistening white of a hospital room, where Roy Schaffner, an eminent physician, is cheerfully visiting a patient. Roy has become famous for his startling discovery of a new and unheard of way to mend broken hearts. But look! Can it be—yes, it is Bolivar, our old home town, and there to my astonishment I find a sign facing me. It says “Earl H. Potter -Groceries and Meats of the finest quality.” Earl is not in sight but presently amazed I see him standing before a microphone, where, I am told, he sings weekly, sending songs of cheer to the world in general and incidently advertising his wares. Now a bright-hued dairy truck goes whizzing by bearing the name of Burton Bartlett, who owns a large chain of dairies in western New York and it stops before a snug little bungalow, where I see Helma Crandall, regally wielding her culinary tools. Ah! someone is with her. It is but just at this moment, a swan, swims royally by, sending out tiny ripples as it goes. The cloud vanishes and my dreams end, but I leave them reluctantly, yet pleased at having again seen my classmates, each one a success. 24 B.

Mr. Louis Coplai was our advisor and like most Freshman classes we had a very uneventful year. The next year we returned to school as Sophomores. We were a bit more worldly-wise and were just as full of ambition as ever. Under the guidance of Mr. Lewis Beyea we carried on the traditions of the school as far as Sophs are ever permitted. Our third year found us back at school as Juniors and ready to do big things. We chose as our advisor this time. Miss Clare Lawler. Early in our career as Juniors we displayed our histrionic ability in “Skidding” under the direction of Miss Lawler. Another enjoyable event was our Valentine Dance. The crowning activity of our lives as Juniors was our Banquet and Prom. Verily, we have “dwelt in the midst of alarms. We are prepared for anything. — B. V.

We were young and inexperienced but we chose as our master builder Paul Donnelly, who helped us build a strong founda-tion (that is, we were assisted in choice of subjects and were told what subjects we were required to take in our Freshman year). When we finished the foundation, we rested -Summer Vacation—and looked over our work. We found we had had an enjoyable year as well as a profitable one. In the fall of 1934, we started to build our rig, that is we entered the Sophomore Class. Our master builder this time was Mr. Clyde Schaum and our foreman was Richard Sexton assisted by Edith Dunning, Vincent Ciampa and Frances Ellen McDermott. Just as the rig rises smoothly into the air so did we pass up through our course of study as Sophomores. We have two more years to build and we hope they will be as pleasant and as successful as our first two. 31 —F. E.

Through these long years we had watched the wells of higher education being drilled and had looked forward to the day when we, ourselves, would have a part in this work. Now as Freshmen we were to have our dreams fulfilled—we were to be sighters for these wells. We were now in a new location, and felt the need of a field superintendent to direct our activities. We had a meeting and elected the following officers: Robert Hills, President; Onilee Shaner, Vice President; Mary Prue Chip-man, Secretary; Josephine Ward and Joseph Schaffner, Student Council. We chose Mr. Paul Donnelly who was more experienced than we, on sighting wells as our advisor. Under their leadership, we are now finishing our Freshman year as sighters for the wells of higher education and hope next year to take our place among the builders. —M. P.

It was begun in 1928 supervised by Miss Tallman. In previous years the Sentinel was an individual paper in book form. The covers for it were designed by students who were in charge of the art. The various holidays and special attractions were portrayed on the covers. School activities such as plays, sports, band and others were given their place in the paper as well as the school news. The Sentinel was mimeographed and distributed weekly by subscriptions or by single copies. This year under the leadership of Miss Lawler the Sentinel was published for the first time in the local newspaper which is sent out weekly. In this way everyone who subscribed to the Bolivar Breeze also had the school newspaper combined and in that way could see what was going on in school. We hope that the Sentinel staff next year will have as enjoyable a time working on the paper as we have had this year. —M.V.V.,‘36 EDITORS AND STAFF EDITOR-IH'CHIEF ASSISTANT EDITOR LITERARY EDITORS ART EDITOR BUSINESS EDITOR HUMOR EDITOR SPORT EDITORS RICHARD SANFORD .

EDWIN ADAMS Those of the Class of '34 who came back for their Post-Graduate work, elected Marion Wilson and Edwin Adams to the student council. The Seniors were represented by Jean Filips and Earl Potter. Mary Miller and John Phillips were chosen from the Junior Class. The Sophomores were represented by Frances Williams and Dean Burdick, while the Freshmen were represented by Josephine Ward and Joseph Schaifner. These ten students and Principal J. F. Whitford made up the Student Council for the school year of 1934-35. When the Student Council was organized in October, 1930, its main purpose was to have a representative body of the students to create more school spirit and to promote school activities. This was possible for they had a period daily in which they could meet. However, the Student Council has been able to accomplish at least one big undertaking each year. In the first year they sponsored concerts for the St. Bcnaventure Glee Club and for the Hornell High School band which was the Class A” champions of our state that year. In 1932 Kryl and his famous band were brought to the Bolivar Central School by the Student Council. In the winter of 1933 the Shakespearian Players came to Bolivar under the management of the Student Council. This year we have assisted the Senior Class in their work of publishing and financing the Bolivar Central School year book. The Gusher. 41 A -H CLUB The Bolivar 4-H Club was organized in 1932 by Harold Newton, who acted as local leader and Mr. Lou Burton as county leader. The president for the first year (1932-33) was Nora Lewis; vice-president, Robert Buell; and the secretary and treasurer, Dallas Seamons. The officers for the second year of the 4-H Club were Nora Lewis and Harold Newton, local leaders, Dallas Seamons, president; Donald Green, vice-president, and Mary Elmer, secretary and treasurer. The third year (1934-35) was organized just for girls. Miss Elsie East and Miss Laura Lyon took over the responsibility of local leadership. New officers were elected: Sara Jayne Hartman as president; Edith Dunning as vice-president and Arlene Foote as secretary and treasurer. The projects discussed and worked out for this year are quick breads, room improvement and flower gardening. A play is to be given in the county contest at Belmont on May 19, 1935. The title of this play is “Betty Behave, having a cast of three characters. The 1934-35 year has been a very successful one and we are hoping to have many more like it in the coming years. —Arlene Foote, ’37 Rena Allen Blanche Beck Edythe Cowles Guyla Cowles Edith Dunning Mary Elmer Arlene Foote Sara Jayne Hartman Dorothy Hettenbaugh Florence Pi res Hazel Pires Geraldine Whitford LEADERS Miss Laura Lyon—Miss Elsie East 42 HOMEMAKING CLUB PRESIDENT VICE-PRESIDENT SECRETARY TREASURER OFFICERS 1934-1935 MARY MILLER MILDRED FOOTE ALMINA SEXTON ERMA SEXTON The members of the homemaking classes organized the Junior U. G. Club in 1931, for the purpose of providing social activities for the girls as well as to make the department more useful in the school and community. Some of the projects carried on by the club have been programs for school assemblies and the P. T. A. parties for faculty, parent and student groups and the sending of delegates to the State Home Economics meeting. Since its organization the club has been affiliated with the National Home Economics Association and was the first student club in the county to receive a charter. These activities have been financed by money earned at candy and food sales and card parties. A sum of money was also raised by the Ceres members at two card parties. We hope that our future years will be as successful as the past. —M.

The members of the Art Club designed greeting cards for different occasions. They also studied stage settings and the art of make-up. —Van Vleet, ’36 Janet Case Catherine Cathers Mary Grace Dunning Eslie Emerson Dorothy Hettenbaugh Robert Klein Robert Lain Joseph Matson Dorothy Millard William Monroe George Oestreich Virginia Paris John Phillips Everett Shaner Opal Traver Janice Voorhees Miss Winifred Waldron, Faculty Advisor 44 HISTORY OF BOLIVAR CENTRAL SCHOOL BAND The B. C. S. Band was organized October 11, 1930 under the capable instrumental instructor, Umberto Clavelli. The roll call at the first meeting showed eight members who were supplied with band instruments. In May, 1931, the band had a membership of thirty-five and competed in the Western New York district contest held in Fredonia and won first place. During the summer this prize band furnished the village with open-air concerts which proved very popular. The same summer the band was asked to play at the I. O. O. F. Convention in Jamestown and won the first prize of $75 in the big parade, as the best visiting school band. The next year the band of thirty-eight pieces placed as Superior at the District Contest. During that year a second or junior band was organized from pupils in the sixth, seventh and eighth grades and they joined the senior band in the annual Memorial Day parade. Both bands gave summer concerts and the senior band participated in firemen’s convention parades. In 1933 the senior band again placed in the Superior class at Fredonia and entered some soloists and John Sanford and William Whitford won first places, William Whitford won first place in the flute solo contests, two years in succession at Fredonia and was awarded first rank in the State Contest held in Syracuse. He then went to the national contest held in Des Moines, Iowa, where he was awarded a medal and second rating. That summer the bands continued their open-air concerts and the junior band won the first prize at the Boy Scouts' Convention in Salamanca. In 1934 the senior band again went to the Fredonia Festival and again won “Superior” ranking against nine other bands. At that time the senior group numbered fifty-four and the junior band forty-five and thanks to the Board of Education, the local American Legion Post, both bands were completely outfitted with new uniforms. In addition to playing for parades and firemen's conventions, the senior band was invited to lead the local Legion Post in the big State Convention parade of the Legion held in Buffalo. Now in 1935 the band is still up to top-notch with a membership of forty-eight and with only six members of the original prize-winning band playing. The junior band has forty members and is the pride of the grades, as well as a source of new members for the senior band. The band is to represent Bolivar Central School again this year at Fredonia Contest and expects to be second to none in their class. It has new quartet groups and new soloists who will take their place in the school orchestra. They have been trained in sight-reading and execute well. The open-air concerts will be continued again this year during the vacation months. The bands thank the school board and especially President A. L. Shaner, Charles A. Chip-man, L. A. Champlin, Clair A. Rigby and Miss Mae McDermott, Secretary C. M. Ams-den and Principal J. F. Whitford who have put forth every effort possible to insure such a successful and outstanding organization. Let us watch for the 1936 groups, which should be the pride of B. C. S. and should be even more successful than the past groups have been, besides having an additional privilege such as broadcasting over the radio from time to time. Our school band now has full instrumentation including the oboe, bassoon, alto and bass clarinets, tympani and all the other well known instruments. We bespeak for the Bolivar Central School Bands continued success and fame. 45 SENIOR BAND Rowland Barber Richard Barnes Fred Bartlett Harlen Best Karl Best George Bradley Donald Burdick James Burdick Thomas Ciampa Vincent Ciampa Beatrice Collins Daniel Dempsey Paul Ennis James Ford Iola Green Sherman Greene Susan Greene Wayne Hartman Robert Hills Merle Ingalls Forest Jordan Carrie Kemp Dana Lewis Jack Matylas Leslie Maxson Norbert Moore Junior Reeland Irene Richardson Kenneth Root Onilee Shaner Harlen Shavalier John Sloan James Smith Robert Stoll Janice Voorhees John Ward Eleanor Wilson Ivan Wilson Marion Wilson Crandall Wilcox 46 Mr. J.

The children are proud and fiery and by the end of the first day of their servitude all but Olivia who acts in the capacity of cook have been fired. The charged atmosphere between the resentful southerners and the unaware northerners; and the jealous admiration of all the men of the play for the “cook gives a tense and humorous tone. Directed by Mr. Coplai and presented two nights, Thursday and Friday, May 16th and 17th, besides a matinee performance, the play seemed successful, both from a dramatic and a financial standpoint.

Their duties consisted chiefly of refereeing noon, and Inter-Class basketball games.

F• Y JaKe-? 55 56 A RUSSIAN VIEWPOINT OF B. C. H. S The day had begun like many others since I arrived in Russia. I had finished my breakfast and had just picked up the morning paper. Glancing through the Sport Slants, I happened to notice a baseball game scheduled for that afternoon. The name of the manager of one particular team was given as Dana Lewis. I recalled a Dana Lewis in my graduating class and wondered if by any chance it could be the same person. Suddenly turning to the front page of the paper two names in the headlines claimed my attention. The headline read Stalin and Litvinoff replaced by Schaffner and Dellone. 1 read it again. Schaffner and Dellone, the names seemed familiar but I couldn't quite place them. Then I remembered Roy and Ted in my class in dear old Bolivar. 1 rang for my secretary. When she appeared I asked her to secure all possible information on my classmates. I had only arrived a short time ago in Russia so imagine my amazement to find that most of my classmates were also here. I decided that I would devote a few days to locating them and finding out just what they were doing. I soon arranged an interview with Roy and Ted. I found them at their best in this Russian atmosphere. They did not seem in the least surprised that they had replaced the two most important men in Russia. Roy was preparing a speech which he was to give at an important banquet soon. His speech was entitled Liberty or Death for Communists. It was as you may have guessed a Masterpiece. My next visit was to the Russian Theater to see the famous dancing team, Perkins and Potter. This dance team was already famous in America and had introduced a new type of dancing in Russia. This team as you may have guessed was none other than Perk and Earl, two of our former most popular classmates. “Perk appeared to be very successful but longed for dear old Bolivar and a certain part of the law profession. 1 learned from these two that Crandall Wilcox, George Oestrich and several of their assistants were engaged in designing new sets for this theater. I was told that only the Russian Nobility attended the theater. Therefore the next night I was not surprised to find Betty Morrow among the guests. She was apparently well-known in the social life of Moscow. This same night, I was astonished to see Eleanor Wilson, Bea Collins, Bernadine Eberl, Amy Neugent and their chaperon at this theater. They explained that they were merely tourists on a tour of the world and had just arrived in Moscow a few days ago. I felt as if I were attending a reunion. 1 instructed my secretary. Miss Hartman, to take notes during the intermission and record anything she might hear which might be of use to me when I began to write my book on “Life in Russia. A great attraction in Moscow is sports. Any type of outdoor games requiring skill is very popular with the people of Russia. At the present time, Earl Monroe was the outstanding athlete in Russia. At the Races the next day I discovered Allie Batsford, who was in Russia to act in a Russian film for the American company- Metro-Goldwyn-Mayer. He was enjoying the races very much he said and introduced me to his companion and leading lady in the picture, who is best known as Anna Sten. His publicity agent, Ray Peasley was constantly reminding me that Allie was the greatest discovery, in the motion picture industry, of his type since Fredrick March. A few days later while walking down the street I noticed an advertisement of a Business College. The President of this school was none other than Helen Salzer with Bob Wilson as the chief instructor. Near this school I noticed several other buildings. While looking at one of these buildings I noticed it was called A Finishing School for Young Ladies. As I watched, two rows of prim, stately, young ladies came sedately out of the building fol- 57 lowed by their superiors, those two pals of B. H. S., Lucille Coyle and Helma Crandall. Jean Filips was the Athletic Instructor at this school. Flips has the best basketball team in Moscow or so she says. In this same “Finishing School for Young Ladies we found Calvin Griswold the prominent French teacher. Thelma Richmond taught English and Maxine Swarthout gave instructions in Public Speaking. Soon after this, 1 was called on by a Mrs. Edgett and a Mrs. Mills whom I recognized as the former Gertrude Shaner and Madeline Koehler. Well, we all come to it sooner or later I suppose. Deciding to purchase a new dress to aid my drooping spirits 1 inquired as to which shops were the best. I was told and immediately set out for the shop recommended. When I arrived at the shop I was greeted by the manager James DeGroff whose surprise at seeing me there was no greater than my own. He asked me if I would care to consult the owner and designer of all their models. This well-known person was my old classmate Janet Case. She was just leaving to attend a beauty contest sponsored by Richard Sanford. After purchasing a suitable and becoming dress I returned to my apartment. I returned a bit discouraged at my own lowly position as a journalist but thankful to have seen my friends and former classmates in such promising circumstances. —J.

Lend us your ears! You must know what we do when we are not out to conquer our fair neighbors in football, basketball and baseball. For fun—for individual skill —for sportsmanship—for school spirit—we play together during fall, winter and spring. A cut a slice—a smash it's Dean Burdick, the boys' Ping Pong Champ and yet —it might be Onilee Shaner -the girls’ winner. No, you're not on ship deck but this time you're right—yes—it's shuffleboard. Watch out! Your life is in danger when Betty Morrow and Bill Dougherty comedown the court with those sticks and discs. Watch that spin kill that serve Volley Ball—everybody's game—gaining more popularity all the time in B. C. S. For girls -soccer and tennis—we hope you like them—we do. At other times—watch our dancing—just a noon hour play time—remember the Alfred Glee Club, they swept our girls off their feet or vice versa. And Wood and Wilson are dancing heroes. In major sports—in minor sports we have gained our ultimate objective under our coaches, Paul Donnelly, more familiar to us as Jake and Mary L. Smith have we gained friendli -ness, better character, skill and finally a real love for B. C. S. Sports Editors 60 FOOTBALL 1 934-3 5 Hold that line! get your man; who could be wrong? It's football. An inexperienced team tries to become champions. A squad of boys that are just learning the difference between a pass and a punt. Bob Lain, fullback, could make a pin hole large enough to run a train through if he had to. Halfbacks, Dick Commons and Johnnie Ward keep the way clean for the fullback and often gain the necessary yardage themselves. Quarterback Eugene Wood was voted the best all-round player and sure knows his football. John Phillips, a valuable center, was a great help in starting our plays. Guards Edwin Adams and Charles Green do their best to keep the opponents back. Jim Bracy and Lawrence Root, two tall tackles, get most any opposing player before they get under way for a gain. The ends Earl Monroe and Harold Jones manage to grab a few of the enemies passes as well as catching passes from our own team. With the help of Ted Dellone, Ivan Eaton, Tim Best, Merle Ingalls, Fred Bartlett, Roy Schaffner, Orlo Chapel, Don Green, Don Burdick, George Oestriech, James Ford, Oscar Lewis, Karl Best, Francis Wood, Jack Matylas and manager Dan Wallace, Mr. Donnelly expects to have a good team which will beat Wellsville for the championship.

C. S. Although Coach Paul Donnelly, better known as Jake, is glad of their success, he also has his point of view. He is sorry they are leaving because they can make a championship team. Flash -Bolivar, November 14. 1934. Basketball season starts in B. C. S. Varsity; Gene Wood who plays as if this game was his last; Jim Bracy, captain, wife always does his task well; Ted Dellonc, a guard whom the opponents never like to play against; Bob Wilson, a forward whom the whole opposing team tries to cover and Dana Lewis, from whose vocabulary the word quit is lacking; Richard “Dick Sexton, a good all-around player that may be an All-American; John Ward, a player who is always two jumps ahead of his man; Earl Monroe and Dallas Seamans, two lads that keep the opponents score down and Junior Green, Ivan Eaton and Vincent Ciampa, the three who are always there at the right moment if it is possible. Coach Donnelly confided to me, “I'll be satisfied if we win three games this season. Flash Bolivar, March 10, 1935. Those inexperienced but fighting men of the High School Basketball squad greatly exceeded the expectations of Coach and fans alike. Out of a hard schedule they succeeded in winning 13 games and losing only seven. This was accomplished only through team work and the love and understanding of one player for another. Lacking weight did not make their passing less perfect. When they collided with Wellsville, a larger and more experienced team they surprised the fans and led by a score of 14 to 7 with 7 minutes to play. When Wellsville's taller men kept continually bearing their score up to a level with ours they only worked harder.

The nation's game and rapidly becoming the game of the world. Everyone plays it or likes to play it. Boys, girls, young men, and some times old men. Bolivar High School does not omit this popular sport either. Although we started late in the season because of improvements being made on our athletic field we have a promising team. Our all-around athletes—Eugene Wood, James Bracy, and Ted Dellone, along with the aid of Dick Sexton, a boy with a long reach, John Ward, our home run hitter. Bob Wilson, who is always there doing his part, Dick Commons, a fine pitcher, Earl Monroe and John Phillips, two of the best catchers in the school, Randolph Wmship, James Ford, Dana Lewis, Karl Best, Junior Green, Oscar Lewis, and Jack Matylas —everyone a fine player and good sport. With their aid we hope to have a very successful season, as well as a good time. Mr. Donnelly has turned his undivided attention to baseball, determined to make it his best season. Due to the incomplete track he omitted this sport which formerly occupied much of his time. 63 —D. S., '35 GIRLS' BASKETBALL The season of '34- 35 in Girls' Basketball was considered very successful despite the loss of two games and the tie of one. The Girls established a remarkable record by not being defeated for four years. The fifth year was marked by a defeat from Friendship who defeated the Bolivar Girls five years ago. Because of the loss of several of our stars and the inexperience of the new players, the team did not function as properly as it should have. Excellent sportsmanship and splendid cooperation was displayed by the whole team. The Bolivar Girls took their defeat by displaying a good spirit at all times. From various reports we expect to have a team next year which will once more establish an undefeatable record. We sincerely hope that Captain Betty Morrow will bring the team through, as successful a season as Captain Wilma “Perk Perkins did this year. Captain Wilma Perkins Rita Sherwood . Janet Case.

Little did Earl Potter realize the trouble he was calling down upon his head and the head of every member of the cast, when he swore to tell: “The truth, the whole truth, and NOTHING BUT THE TRUTH” with $10,000 at stake. He scrupulously “stuck to his guns” even though his perfectly candid answers to the questions asked him, offended his many inquirers.

Y. 85 yL cDream G Long months ago this book was but a dream in the minds of a chosen few, who strove with one accord toward a single goal: the most beautiful annual which could be produced to record the history and activities of the Class of 1935 of Bolivar Central School. Today, that goal is reached: the 1935 Gusher makes its appearance. From front cover to back, it is a book which students, faculty, alumnae and parents will enjoy. It is, furthermore, a book which the Class of 1935 will acknowledge proudly as the finest of a long line of fine yearbooks. This book brings the greatest joy to those who have been most intimately concerned with its production: to Mr. Robert Wilson, Editor-in-Chief and to Miss Eleanor Wilson, Business Manager. These two and others of the staff have literally built the book from beginning to end. Of our own part in producing the Gusher, we will say but little—the book itself speaks far more eloquently than any words of ours. We wish only to record our deep satisfaction and pride in working with the staff. Both they and we arc secure in the knowledge that, because of our sole responsibility for engraving, printing and binding, no finer annual could be produced. We are proud of the 1935 Gusher. • BAKER, JONES, HAUSAUER, INC.
