ASS III STO K V • l ime Marches On Four short years ago, we, the class of 1937, entered high school. With high ideals and aspirations, we overcame tin obstacles which lay before us for the first two years. • W hen we returned in 1935 as Juniors, we anticipated something eventful something dramatic. Our expectations were fulfilled for our first social venture was the Junior dance. How elated we were over that success! Then came Girl Shy,” our class play. The Junior Prom was the high light of the social activities for the year. The unforgettable Junior-Senior Banquet was the climax of 1936. • As we entered our Senior Year, we resolved to do even greater things. Realizing the four years of disappointments, joys, and gratifications. we hoped to lead those below us to heights never reached before. • As Seniors we chose Edith Dunning, President. Her comely personality and born leadership were assets to the class's progress. She was outstanding in sports and dramatics and led in every activity. Her sparkling smile and sporting sense of humor made her a pleasure to follow and caused us to say: Hats off to Edith. ’ • Graduation da approaches all too soon and with it. passes the Glass of ‘37. We leave behind our four years of pleasant associations with our classmates and instructors. During our final year the Senior Play, Tiger House,” a huge success, and the Senior Ball are all memories. • In the near future looms Class Day, Baccalaureate and at last the donning of caps and gowns. 14 Vk ILM VCkKRMW The only blonde Senior girl in the class whose motto ve think is.

ONILEE Sll WER CLASS HISTORY • We. who after eight years of merely witnessing the glory of higher education, came September 1934 as Freshmen, to participate in a small way in high school life. We chose Mr. Paid Donnelly as onr first advisor. • The next term we returned, more confident, to our Sophomore year. We were then sure of a permanent place in high school. We asked Miss Ives to help us smooth out the rough spots of this year. • Our third year found us rewarded for our two years of work, we were promoted to the Junior room. We were now upperclassmen. Under the guardianship of Miss East and Miss Martinv we have spent a most eventful year with Onilee Shaner as President. She's the lop! She's a dynamic cyclone. She's the top! She's the '38's class president. She's Helen IT ills Moody, She's Madame Curie. She's cellophane; And so you see. In sports, friends, heighth. in student government. Oh stop! All we can say is 'She's the top'.” • We are hopeful that our preliminary training has prepared us for the acceptance of the responsibilities which accompany this honor. —B. E.

WESLEY GLEASON 33 Class of 1939 In the fall of 1935. as sixty-eight happy, ambitious young people, we entered our first year of High School, in the largest group ever to grace the Frosh home room. To guide this large class Thomas Ackerman was chosen President, Patty Moore— Vice-President and Secretary-Treasurer, Margaret McQueen, with Paul Donnelly as Advisor. In 1936, after one year of High School life, the class chose Miss Ives as Advisor, with Kenneth Root President, Jeanne Jones, Vice-President and Secretary Jeanne Weaver. In these first two years we have laid our foundation for future school life, we have also progressed, yes, but not nearly so much as we will in our next two, watch us! We only hope that our patient preparation will enable us to undertake and handle as well the activities and responsibilities as well as the classes before us have. We are going to try. 34 [■'[' Koir; Ml— l r«. Geraldine Whit ford. Norma Cleveland. Jeanne Wea cr. Belly Rockwell. Jean Join--. Margaret McQueen. Lillian Neugcni. Gertrude Adam . France llofTinan.

The excitement of having several teachers, most of them men. and the regularity of assignments in each course made us realize that mostly work and little play were in store for us. Donald Nagle was elected class President; Phyllis Voorhees, Vice-President; and Robert Nagle. Secretary-Treasurer. Mr. Myers was chosen our Advisor. Since class activities are limited to the upper classes, we contented ourselves with athletics, three of our classmen being outstanding in football and basketball. Jack Ncugent, Richard Childs, and Robert Mitchell will he unbeatable in these sports with a few more seasons of play. We were the first to decorate our home room at Christmas time. Phyllis Coyle has been the outstanding student in the entire high school for this year, with a midyear average of 98%. Not having had any tragic or otherwise noteworthy incidents to boast of. we are contented knowing that as the class of 1940, we have laid a sound groundwork for Freshman Class Wayne Baldwin Richard Ball Philip Barber Francis Barrett Ruth Buckley Mary Jayne Carrier Richard Childs Rose Ciampa Virginia Cow les Phyllis Coyle Phyllis Day Phyllis Dunning Sadie Elliott James Ellsworth Esther Emerson James Gleason Ethel Green Rosemary Greene Doris Hill Stewart Irwin August Johnson Duane Jordan SEPH RC) NIA M CC A RTHY John Milgate Robert Mitchell Vivian Morris Josephine Mickey Donald Nagle Robert Nagle John Neugent Ethel Newton Ray Payne John Raymond Betty Rockwell Eugene Salzer Paulina Saraco Beatrice Sexton William Shannon William Sw ain Mary Swarthout Phyllis Voorhees James Wasson Robert Whitford John Wilcox Eugene Willard Phyllis Zappia 37 ■ Omi.m, SntMM lluMnrM Maium M n Km K ( jiimo Art Uiu� VlWT UUrt Suorl Kditor WlMl I' •lilor-in-t lurf MKU literary Kditur Jr.MiiM ImuiKicu Photo I'ililiir llumt Mill Kraiurc Milcr Kllllll I � |NC V«l rrifinj: Milir Bim I'lKKNIN nkiai literary lidilor I m m SntMi Ri tm Imais Mwlaat Photo Miior K : � t u Aoolant ‘ f ralurr Kditor MKlanl UmlMoi Milir Ne« e� left tn right: Min.- Lawler.

The audience roared in fright and laughter, the snow and wind roared outside and everyone roared in praise of it. This three-act mystery thriller was presented again on May 27. 1937, because of the popular demand for repetition.

The seven girls who are leaders are: • Blanche Beck Ruth Freeman Felicia Brannen Marion Neely Edith Dunning Helen Paffie Aileen Shaner 53 % Football 1936 Twenty-eight husky lads, handicapped by the lack of an adequate athletic field, against many odds tallied up the necessary score to bring to a close a successful season. A group of hoys, most of them fresh from the sandlots, plunged into that great American sport and carried the Bolivar pigskin across the goal to victory. The varsity was made up of John Phillips aiui Dick Childs, ends, who caught their share of passes and played exceptionally defensive games; Jack Neugent who never before had worn a football uniform, along with Harold Jones showed just how the tackle position should he played; George Bradley and Orlo Chapel, two guards, who crushed the opponents'defensive line for the backs;’ James Smith at center, who always started off the plays as they should he: Francis Vi ood at quarterback who did a splendid job of maneuvering the team along with gaining considerable yardage; Jim Ford and Phil Richardson, two fast, shifty halfbacks and Junior Reeland, who always got through that hole in the line, played an outstanding game at the fullback position. The substitutes were Allen Neely, Tony” laxson. Dick Barnes and Bill Dougherty who saw a considerable amount of action this year and are bright prospects for the coming season; Jack Matylas, Tim” Best, Francis Paffie and Ralph Best, four little fellows who carried the hall for the second team: and Joe Schaffner.

S. the team is assured of a fairly successful season. The opener was played with Andover on the Bolivar field, with Stewart ami Green, batteries, Sexton. Monroe ami Captain Wood covering the sacks. Dunning, Ford and Childs played the outfield, with Dougherty holding down the hot-spot” for Bolivar. Bolivar came out on top in this first game, both teams making numerous errors; a characteristic of an opener.” Overlooking these faults of the first game of the season, and the first game of baseball for many of the players, we can see nothing hut a Pennant winning team for Bolivar in 1937. 60 The Season in Review The season of 1936-37 is not one to look hack on in regard to games won and games lost. It is one to look ahead from, considering the games that will be won in years to come. For a new athletic generation has begun. Bolivar Central School s teams this year especially in football and hasehall. have been largely composed of beginners,ffgreen” in the true sense of the word. Not only have these youngsters given great promise for seasons to come, hut they have amassed quite a record for the present season. This job of building for the future, and still maintaining an impressive record for the current vear. is no simple one. W e ve got to hand it to coaches Mary L. Smith and Paul Donnelly who couldn't he doing a better job of it. Ibis years crop of Freshman and Sophomore athletes is surprising not only in quantity hut in ability. The spirit on the gridiron, the court and diamond has been the highest in several seasons. It was an inspiring sight, last fall, to watch football practice on Bradley field. A good share of the candidates were lower classmen, even eighth-graders, who had no idea of making the varsity. That didn't deaden their spirits, by any means. They hit as hard as veterans, in some cases showing them up. If this scene took place in 1936. what will we see in 1939? These recruits will he seniors then, and seasoned athletes of four years experience. Vi ho said there would he no more great Bolivar teams! In basketball, the picture was slightly different. Veterans formed the varsity squad, and the results of the season were results that only veterans could have brought about. However, there were a few games in which the varsity combination didn't seem to click.” These may he classed as upsets, for we defeated teams of such great calibre, that some of our losses seemed out of place. These things happen in anybody’s season: we call them the breaks. Excitement over local contests this winter ran higher than ever before perhaps due to the flashy cheerleaders, perhaps due to the unstoppable varsity. In this we have seen signs of the old school spirit ' that had seemed missing for the several past years. And now we can look forward to other seasons, which according to what we have seen this year, w ill he memorable ones. The new sports generation is one of limitless promise. So let’s forget 36- 37 and build for the future. 61 The Evolution of Bolivar Central School Early settlers crossed the Divide and made their homes in this region when it was a vast forest of pines, hemlocks and maples. Our forefathers made clearings, hnilt log cabins and lived by planting, trapping, hunting and fishing. They manufactured, sold and bartered maple sugar and black salts. The settlement was named Bolivar after General Simon Bolivar (1783-1830), who was then called the George Washington of South America. In 1820 a log sehoolhouse was built and Rachel Gilbert was chosen the first teacher. Austin Cowles wielded the hickory-stick during the winter term of 1820-21. Portable saw-mills later made their appearance and the old log sehoolhouse gave way to a hoard building similar to that labelled 1845 on the opposite page. Ere long this became too small for the grow ing population and the adjoining church house was made into a two-story school. These buildings w ere located near the present Post Office site. This third sehoolhouse, is now a two-family dwelling at 55 Boss Street, pictured on the preceding page. A commodious two-story wooden structure was erected at the corner of Olcan anil Kincaid Streets in 1882. This school was enlarged and because of its qualifications was placed upon the accredited list of high schools in 1887. A modern brick sehoolhouse was constructed on the same site in 1905. Two score and four years later this building became obsolete and the greatest advancement in the history of our schools took place in 1929 when a centralized district was formed from the old Bolivar District No. 1 and rural schools from portions of the townships of Bolivar. Clarksv ille and Genesee. A magnificent three-story building was constructed of fireproof materials at the west end of Bolivar's driving park. The entire cost of this new building and its twelve-acre campus was over half a million dollars. It was first occupied September 2. 1930 and is now rated as the outstanding Central School in western New York. Fourteen principals have administered the schools in Bolivar. Professors James McCourtney and Stephen Pollard were in charge of the union or graded schools, and the following high school principals have served since 1887: II. . Benedict 1889-1891, . .1. Glennie 1891-97, E. E. McDowell 1897-1900, Ella I. Crandall 1900-03. Charles I). Mill 1903-07, (7 Vi. Vandergrift 1907-10, Franz II. Rosebush 1910-16. Harold J. Coon 1916-19, G. J.
