Mr. Severance Sophomore Donald Crary Claude Dishaw Martha Clark Mrs. Cunningham The Class of '34 are we, Now embarking on our sea. Active service have we seen. From our Freshman year so green. Junior Marla Snyder Dorothy Crary Nelson Fadden Miss Scurrah We had a party on St. Patric-k's day, Food tables decked in grand display. I'l1 grant you'll not forget this line, For we all had a peachy time! The weeks went whizzing by, In every heart there was great joy. That last day of school we well remember. Then around came September. That was back in '31 When our school life had just begun. That year was sleek on wing, And soon the bell had ceased to ring. When our Junior year had dawned, All our last year's books we pawned. Friendly faces-again it seemed With many smiles that they all gleamed. The Junior Prom was sure a wow! The siame success to others we endow. The girls were dressed to look their best, Ask anyone to tell the rest. But that year came and went, To us their seats the Seniors lent. And full fledged Seniors we were made, Memories of that will never fade. But the best event of all Was that great Senior Ball, A dance we'll ne'er forget And the fun we'll not regret! Four years have we sailed that river With its hazardous rocks and quiver. Now we've embarked on the sea of life Nor small will be the strife. We know that we will meet the test For our training has been the best. -Leonard Fisk. Senior Benton Pike Bette Hunter Paul Warner Miss Scurrah

Uhr Qllaaa Hrnphrrg nf 1934 This is station X. O. P. giving you the march of time program for 1954. The whole fworld is in a state of disorder, no home is fmodern unless all the household furnishings are in ruins. The cause for such a comm-otion is the nomination of the first woman candidate, Frances Howard, to run opposite Benton Pike for the presidency of the United States. Frank Pitts and Karl Mayhew have gone into the prize-fighting business. In a little while they expect to live on Easy Street, that is, if they are still alive. Paul Warner is one of the best artists of the day. His career began over night when he drew a picture of a college professor and a noted critic thought it was Henry VIII. David DePue is now a slim and graceful doctor. The change oame to him 'when he began to use Harold Smith's Weight Producer. Harold is a pharmacist, you know. The once silent Robert Coakley makes a lot of noise now. He's a carpenter, but he referees ball games on the side while his blue-eyed wife looks on. V Leonard Fisk is out west acting as sheriff. He tries to be serious and vicious but his at- tempts don't seem to affect the ladies. Leona Beckstead is a famous detective but she could never figure out why her best boy- friend married her twin sister, Leola, now the happy 'mother of six children. Ralph Dona. -has become a successful New York taxi driver, especially noted for turning corners by one wheel, the one with which he steers. Martha Clark is in the vicinity of the Rio Grande. There are rumors which say that she is following certain bandits and others state that she is hunting for gold. Dorothy Wade is the proprietress of a boarding house. Since one of her boarders informed her that he led a dog's life while married and because he growls now and then, she has economized by feeding him dog biscuits. Donald Crary is an insurance agent. He puts on a hard look, doubles up his fists for effect, and sells a lot of life insurance. The scientific writer, Merton Smith, has completed a book entitled Science Dealing with Manners. It's splendid, all about why one should have manners and then use them. There's a lady who works by the night in- stead of by the day. This is Madgeline Cota, a night nurse in the Potsdiam Hospital. Willmer Thomas is a chef in a Boston hotel and how he can cook angel food! The saxophone owned by Francis Christen- sen has taken that boy far from home. He now plays in the Rochester Civic Orchestra. George Crary is still wandering about look- ing for a job. He says he hasn't had one since he left Canton High. Eiileen Lynch is giving dancing lessons. The class is strictly select. Could you imagine Aldine Stevens running a truck farm? Well, she does and she calls it Cl'ifford's Garden of Eden. Anna Barb-er has become the nightingale of America since .she began 'singing over the radio at night. Helen Tupper is the matron of an orphan asylum. She kfeeps the children quiet by playing the latest hits of the season on her piano. Ethel Peters is in the movies playing op- posite a red-.headed man. Ruth McKimm is running her own farm and I guess she is making as much money as the rest of the farmers. Bernita Rexford is teaching in the little white school house on the Pierrepont road. She loves this road because it brings back memories of the time when she used to wear her shoes out on it in the days gone by. And now for a surprise! Bette Hunter is in Lake Placid doing fancy ice skating. They say she draws quite a crowd. Marla Snyder has joined the Jolly Ring Circus. She does trapeeze stunts. But then, everyone knew she .had high aspirations. Harriet Sellers is someone's stenog. That someone is her husband. No sir, she doesn't believe in taking any chances. Di-antha Purvee has just realized the desire of her heart. She is putting a house in order on Lincoln Street. Frances Cotter has gone to Paris to study. She has decided that everyone should study the Parisian styles. Emery Bacon is a missionary in China. Ilaawrence McDermid is there too. He has ex- plored the whole country and is now writing an address to be given when he returns home. Emery will give the address, by the way.
