Cazenovia Central High School - Owahgena Yearbook (Cazenovia, NY)

Text from Pages 1 - 84 of the 1936 volume:

CONTENTS FALL WINTER SPRING SUMMER ICCtWCCD The sequence of this hook is seasonal. It has been the aim of the staff to place each activity according to the time of year it is most prominent. A similar arrangement has been carried out in the placement of the classes in the book. This volume is published by the Senior Class of the Cazenovia Central School in the year nineteen hundred and thirty-six. DEDICAIICN To our faithful friend and adviser, Janies W. Hatch, who has guided us through the past two years with honest effort and unfailing cooperation, we the class of nineteen hundred and thirty-six, with due respect and appreciation, dedicate this book as a small token of our esteem. The rush of driving feet, hoarse cries. Cheers, the shrill of a whistle, rest. l‘eace, red leaves drop. FCCTC4II Cazenovia, for the second time, represented in the I pper Mohawk Valley league, finished second, losing only to its old rival. Hamilton. The Blue and Gold also tought hard, close games with non-league teams, including East Syracuse. Canastota and Mohawk. Letters were given to sixteen players for their hard work and loyalty to the team, eight of whom were seniors and will he missed next fall. Those receiving let- ters were: Lloyd Lyga, Howard Lieurance, Bill Yancausky. Edward Blair. Leslie O Brien. Carl Boland, Donald Kennedy, Herbert Means, Captain Edward Clarke, Bill Tremain, Earl Brown. Joe Daley. Joe Kendrick. Gurdin f reeborn. Walter Putney, and Mike Zupan. Lloyd Lyga was one of the hardest line buckers on the team. Howard Lieurance and Bill Yancausky developed into two of the best tackles the school has had. Ed- ward Blair played consistent ball and was one of the outstanding blocking guards to be seen on the field. Leslie O'Brien was a top-notch pass receiver on the team and gained many yards on spectacular catches. Don Kennedy, halfback, was con- sidered by many as the U st open field runner on the team. Herbert Means, center, was a standout in his position. Captain Edward Clarke played equally good offensive and defensive football.

Through his efforts this year it is hoped that the team next year will meet with tin same, if not better success than the squad of thirty-five and thirty-six. Cooperation, which is the key note of attaining a high goal, was sounded at every practice and throughout every game. Holes made in the line by graduates will be easily filled by material from the lower classes. Spring practice proved that interest in the sport was very high and that the men were willing to work—rain or shine. Heres to a brilliant and winning season next fall. 1111 SQUAD Blair Boland Brown, A. Brown, E.

This work is continued at home by some in workshops they have themselves built up. In addition, the same group have very satisfactorily aided in school electrical re- quests. taken an active part in projecting moving pictures for groups who wish them shown, and filming motion pictures of the school. Planning each unique annual assembly Radio Club program proves to be a bit of research in itself. I his year our program was one which caused a great deal of comment. Moving pictures taken by members of the club, portraying various school activities were shown. I he club’s first attempt at colored movies was also revealed at this assembly program. As a special feature a Hindu friend of the club's able adviser was given a few minutes to demonstrate some of his mystic powers. Every year this active club produces a new and interesting program. We will wait anxiously to see yvhat next year's program brings us. Fortune Teller: Tell me your full name and I will tell you the name of your future w ife. Mr. Wilson (very anxiously): Mr. Allen Wilson. Fortune Teller: Mrs. Allen ilson. Tony Smythe: My ancestors came over on the May flower. Len Webster: It’s luckv they did. the immigration laws are a little more strict now. VAC iry erue I Iu purpose of the V arsity Club is to bring together those hoys who have a common interest in athletics, and to create interest among boys’ sports. It also is an organization whereby cooperation of the members in athletics as well as in social activities is encouraged to create a feeling of brotherhood cemented by a common interest. This in turn goes far in promoting an atmosphere of school spirit and es- sential moral for high achievements in major cooperative sports. The officers of the Varsity Club for 1935 and 1936 are as follows: Edward Clarke, president: Donald Wager, secretary and treasurer: Wilford Turner and Curdin Freeborn, social committee. The duties of the mentioned officers are to plan and direct club activities under the supervision of Mr. Buckley, to keep in touch with all alumni members of the ciub, and to carry on correspondence with similar organizations in other schools, w ith whom we have had the pleasure to contact during the past year in competitive sport activities. A student, to become eligible for membership in the Varsity Club, requires a block letter earned by successful participation in a major sport or two minor sports. When the student receives his block letter he becomes a meml� er of the Varsity Club organization automatically. The block letter and membership in the Varsity Club is an incentive offered by the Varsity Club to the aspiring athletes of which he can justly be proud. The sport season is closed at graduation time at a banquet to which the alumni are invited. It is a happy gathering, to be sure, and many a witty jest is heard as the boys reminisce. Cookie: V ilma. apple of my eye. I would do anything for you, swim the Atlantic, go through fire and hell, and face the most terrible hurricane for your sake. And, by the way, I will be down tonight if it doesn't rain too hard. (■CIV The girls have been able to participate in a large variety of sports this year. Girls’ sports enjoyed at Ca enovia Central School are: Field hockey, volleyball, basketball, bad-minton, deck tennis, archery, and tennis. An honor team was chosen in both basketball and volleyball. The following girls were members of both teams: Elizabeth McLaughlin, Almeda Jackson, Mary Kennedy, Patricia Kennedy, Ruth Bobbette, Margaret Gregg. Frona Isaman, and Rosamond Dimon. Margaret Walsh. Leora Hughes, and Dorothea Sullivan also were members of the basketball team. Margaret Lyga. Kathleen Walsh, and Ruby Ward were the other members of the volleyball team. In archery, Dorothea Sullivan, Dorothy Grime, and Eileen Ryan were chosen •o represent the school. All three teams were very successful. The volleyball team defeated Good-Year- Burlingame, the basketball team defeated Manlius in two games, and the archery team defeated Canastota. We feel this is a fine record for the girls. The sports council this year was composed of Mary Kennedy, Frona Isaman, Elizabeth Stoecker, and Agnes Miller. John Kennedy: How did you lose your tooth? Mr. Stannard: Shifting gears on a lollypop. DREW CUE I lie Press (.lub is ihe periscope of the school. Its several reporters obtain news Iroin numberless sources. Ihe different classes, the other clubs, boys and girls’ sports. Parent-1 earlier meetings, class parties, and many other events all provide news for the “Cricket.” It is the duly of the Press Club to check on each organization every week in order to present an accurate and concise account of its activities. A reporter must be aiert to his surroundings, not only to give an efficient account of his own individual assignment, but in order to record any unexpected incident which may have happened in class or at some club meeting during the preceding week. I he staff of the “Cricket is divided into three groups. The sports department, headed by Carl Boland, has the responsibility of giving a detailed account of all past sports events and of arousing interest in future ones. The second department, of which Donna Brimmer is in charge, oversees all the literary material. The last group records the club activities and all general news. Besides Betty Dewey, editor: Carl Boland, sports editor: and Donna Brimmer. I'lcrarv editor, the Press Club consists of several reporters: Man Kennedv. senior class: Ann Ward, junior class; Dorothea Sullivan, art: Gloria Brimmer, music: Vlbert Kindt, drama: W ilnia Hughes, homemaking: I .eon Medbury. agriculture: Carlton Straub. Radio Club and assemblies: Rosamond Dimon. girls’ sports: Pa- tricia Kennedy, Fannie Johnson, and Marietta Odell, typists. Mr. Brimmer and Mr. Kirkpatrick are the farultv advisers. At the second annual Slate school press conference held in the Syracuse Uni- versity School of Journalism last fall, the “Cricket” was awarded honorable men- tion for its general makeup. Cop (at corner I : Hey. where are you going? Don't you see this is a one wav street? Coe (in flivver): Well. I m only going one way ain’t I? MIXED CDCDWS The mixed chorus of Cazenovia Central School is composed of about sixteen members under the leadership of Miss Vrlene Anderson. The members are iris and boys from Junior and Senior High School. 'I heir first appearance in public was called “Southern Memories. and was centered around the darkies life of the (dd south. The parts were played by members of the chorus. Solo numbers, tap dancing, and chorus roup singing were featured. The mixed chorus took part in the Christmas program in the school auditorium and also participated in the Kaster program. This consisted of chorus group singing, duets, octets, and quartettes. On May 2, 1936. they furnished the entertainment for a (dee Club dance. Also the chorus took part in the Musk Festival held in the Cazenovia Central School on May 23, 1936. Don Jillson says there are two kinds of jokes we should laugh at the funny ones and the ones the teachers tell in class. Mr. Moon: Edmund, use the word triangle in a sentence. Edmund: If you can't fish with grasshoppers triangle worms. Mr. Stannard: What is steam? Irene Oreene: Water gone crazy with the heat. EIGEEE1 GRADE hirst row: I. Hynes, I), (.lark. M. Styron. J.

ECARD Of Ill AIMS I he Board of Education of any school district is charged with certain duties and responsibilities by both the State of New York and the school district which they serve. I hey must raise sufficient funds to adequately provide for the education oi all the children in their area. They are entrusted with the responsibility of hiring and maintaining a staff of teachers and other workers who can carry out the princi- ples which they lay down. I he Board of Education of the Cazenovia Central School has and still does merit the support of not only the New York State Education De- partment hut also of all the people of every district. The Class of 1936 wish to express their appreciation to the Board of Education for making it possible for them to ha e the advantages whic h they have had. LU inter The leathern sphere rebounds. Tense moments, cold, the actor on set slope. Curtains fall, snow flakes sparkle. I ASI I M AI I The Cazenovia Central School team though not a championship club turned in a fair percentage of victories. Entered in the stiff opposition, afforded by the Upper Mohawk Valley League, the team succeeded in capturing third place. leaniwork was noticeable in every conflict. Due to some hidden reason the team seemed unable to function smoothly on foreign courts, but won all but two games on its own court. I hese were dropped to Hamilton and Canastota. re- spectively. I he team was captained by Don Wager w ho played both center and forward for the season. Earl Brown was the team's outstanding scorer. Bill Tremain, Don Kennedy, Bill Yancausky, Lloyd Lyga, Carl Boland. Joe Kendrick. Tom Tobin, and Henr Kindt all played good ball during the season. Most of these men are re- turning next year and a fine season is expected.

The officers are: President. Mildred Blowers: vice president. Mary Tremain: secretary, Leora Hughes; treasurer, Betty Kennedy; and faculty adviser, Mrs. Holt . I he purpose of the club is to acquaint the students with the manners and meth- ods of the business world. A work group was formed to do tvping, mimeographing, and duplicating for the teachers and various other organizations in the school. A general meeting is held once a month at which time the members discuss busi- ness etiquette, vocations, and everyday problems of interest. There have been two major social functions of the club this year; The Holly- wood Party, a dance at which the movie celebrities held forth, and the Christmas party. The club also made an excursion to Syracuse to visit the Onondaga Potterv Company, Syracuse Secretarial School and Central City Business Institute. These ' isits proved very interesting and the members look forward to another trip in the future. Ann Ward: What is that lump on your head? Boh Niles: Oh. that's where a thought struck m-.

Virginia Thomas. We started off our fourth )ear with a bang bv presenting a one-act comedy— “A Fool of a Man.” by Edward Finegan. We presented this play three times—once in assembly, once in Erieville, and once at the Cazenovia Lodge. Then we l egan work on our play tournament. “The Pot Boiler by Alice Gerstenberg. which was presented November 17, 1935 with plays from the five other schools in the Upper Mohawk Valley League. The Cazenovians were fortunate enough to be chosen as one of the three plays for the final presentation at night. The competition was keen but regardless, Cazenovia could not be downed, and for the second consecutive year we were presented the silver trophy, and irginia Thomas, one of the cast, received honorable mention. We sincerely wish that the cast of the next year’s tourna- ment play will meet with even greater success. for Christmas, the Dramatic Club presented “The Other Wise Man. by Henry Van Dyke, aided by the Girls Glee Club and the grades in a processional and re- cessional march. As usual, the Thespians joined with the senior class in presenting the senior play. Quite different from other years, we presented on February 6 and 7, a mystery play, “The Cat and the Canary,” by John i 1 lard. We feel certain that this play ranks as high in entertainment as any other senior play. On March 26, our annual Shakespearean play, “The Merchant of Venice was presented. It was our good fortune to have Harold hite back to portray the part of old Shylock. We had a very appreciative audience and the play was well pre- sented. Our Easter play, “On the Third Day.” was a religious cantata and was accom- panied by the Glee Clubs. The presentation was very inspirational and was en- joyed by all. Our final production of the year is another tournament play which is to be taken to Ithaca and entered into the State tournament as a result of Cazenovia being the winner of the trophy cup in the Upper Mohawk Valiev League. The play chosen to be presented is a one-act play. “Where the Cross Is Made,” by Eugene O'Neil. FUTUITE f4lMCCS I1IH S The Cazenovia Aggies have been active since the close of school in June 1935. We were proud to learn that one of our members, Ford Barrett, had been selected as one of thirty-eight hoys in the state to receive the Empire Farmer degree. The recipients of this honor must have done outstanding work in agriculture, and also displayed ability in leadership. 1 he Aggies also cooperated in setting up the Future Farmer exhibit at the State fair, and later transferred this display to our own Future Farmer building at the Brookfield Fair. Many favorable comments by visitors, state and fair officials were received. We were also represented by a judging team at the State Fair contests, w ith a third place team in potato judging as the high point for our group. Roderick Virgo and Joseph Hynes pulled down the laurels in this contest. Our next task was the presentation of a Demonstration Future Farmer meeting in the new building at Brookfield. Numerous field trips to nearby farms and markets added interest to the fall program. The green hand initiation and ceremony was held before a meeting of the Owahgena Grange. A great deal ol credit is due our chapter officers for the efficient method in which this meeting was conducted. The Farm and Home Week judging contests became our next objective. About twenty-five Aggies made the trip to Ithaca on February 12. Eight members of the group remained to participate in the contests scheduled for the following two days. Five members presented a skit on a stunt program the evening of the 12th and re- ceived first award and the privilege of performing at the annual winter banquet on the night of February 14. These hoys spent three pleasant days, fraught with many worthwhile experiences. Ten of our members enjoyed the first annual banquet of our Central Highlands group held at Morrisville on March 30. Dr. A. k. Getman of the State Education Department delivered a very helpful address. Our annual assembly program on April 4 was entertaining and instructive. Other highlights of the year have been the winning of the group speaking con- test by Paul Owens, and the annual spring group rally at Munnsville. Our many activities provided ample opportunity for the development of initiative, leadership, and cooperative efiort. FRENCH CLUB Le Cercle Francais is an organization open lo any French student who wishes to further his knowledge of the language and customs of France. French is spoken as much as possible during our meetings. This year we have had many interesting meetings at which there have been Frenc h games, songs, plays, and discussions. In addition to these activities, our French instructor. Miss Marian Germer, and our French friend, Mrs. W illiam Haines, spoke to us about France and French customs. Among the outstanding events of this v ear’s program was a New Year's party. Instead of the Christmas part) which many clubs held, our celebration was for Jour de FAn the New ear’s when it is the French custom to exchange gifts. On February 22 our club sponsored an invitation card part) in order to raise money for our picture, l ast but by no means least, we journeyed to Colgate University to bear a French lec ture and sec the movie, “Maria Chapdelaine,” which we enjoyed immensely. Mr. Moon: A fool can ask more questions than a wise man can answer, isn't that so? Mr. Clarke: I cannot answer you. 4 All III It ASMS I AS It The Cazenovia Central School cafeteria is open from the first to the last day of school each year. Several hundred people eat there each week. A complete • unch is always served as well as sandwiches, soups, salads, and ice cream. The cafeteria is self-supporting and endeavors to serve attractive, nutritious, and reasonably priced lunches. In order to carry this out. several junior and senior high school girls help each day. The following students have worked in the cafeteria during the year 1935-1936: Betty Conklin. Betty Maurice. Mary Thomas. Rowena Magee. LaMoine Vedder, Jeanne Moore, Lora Wafer, Gloria Brimmer. Betty Todd. Barbara Winans, and Robert Niles, and have helped make this year a success. Mrs. Lee has prepared the food and Miss Marks and Miss Brown, homemaking teachers, have supervised the cafeteria. Coach Buckley: Why all the puffing? Earl Brown: I'm all tired out. There was a fight over there and I was running to stop it. Coach: Is that so, who was fighting? Earl: Me and another guy. ©ECHESTEA The orchestra has been progressing this year with the capable assistance of Miss Margaret Short of Syracuse I 'diversity. Miss Short has also been giving private iolin lessons to a large number of pupils. The repertory of the orchestra has been developed in the direction of more modern numbers, appealing to the pupils, although a few compositions by recognized masters were included for variety. These more interesting, more easily understood numbers have been successful, because the relatively smaller degree of complexity in- volved in their presentation has left a greater amount of attention to l e turned toward interpretation.

P4CINr-TE i€HEC UI€CIAII€N At the beginning of the centralization, the Parent-Teacher Association was or- ganized. and since then has been a service organization. During the past two years we have tried to do away with the great number of meetings which are held in the village, and in consequence, during this lime our meetings have been held in con- junction with the assembly programs, and a very large number of parents have been in attendance. The association this year has been under the able leadership of Mrs. R. P. Kramer, president; Mrs. B. T. Brown, vice president: Mrs. Helen W. Holtz, sec- retary; and Mrs. Robert Callahan, treasurer.

I ASI I AI I At the start of the 1935 season, Coach Buckley faced the task of building almost an entire new team. Bill Tremain was the only starting pitcher available, and pitched each of the ten league games. B. Means formed the other part of the battery, and did a good job of it. Virgo, M. Brown, and Clarke secured the outfield positions. This trio made many difficult catches and produced much of the offensive power of the team. Joe Otvos (captain I, H. Means, Waffner, and Kennedy formed the infield combination. Cazenovia failed to win a game in the first half of the Upper Mohawk alley league. This was due to errors at crucial moments and the failure to hit with men on bases. In the second half of the season, the team showed a complete reversal of form. They l egan to hit the ball and their defensive work was much better. These improvements brought good results as Cazenovia tied for first place in this section of the season and secured third place for the whole season. We lost a non-league game to Canastota by a score of 12 to 7. Bill Tremain pitched good ball, and with better support in the first half of the season, we would have won several more games.

Coach Buckley will also have Don Wager, star letterman of the 1934- season. Carl Boland, a letterman from Waterville High; also Lloyd Lyga. Brown and Burton will be seeking positions on the team. Only six league games will l e played this year, but a few non-league games are to be scheduled. HOME EECNCMIC Cl EE The purpose of this eluh is to foster the spirit of Home Economics, to broaden lire students by the practical experience in homemaking work, and to introduce a social note into the department life. Any girl in the ninth through the twelfth grades is eligible for membership. There are forty members enrolled. The officers are: President. Wilma Hughes; vice president. DeEtte Burton; secretary, Leora Hughes; treasurer. Doris Coulter. The club meets on the second and fourth Wednesdays of each month. A pro- gram committee plans the activities for the year at the first meeting. Each session has a business, educational, and social aspect. During our educational meetings each girl has completed some project which pertains to homemaking work, such as knitting, crocheting, and weaving. During our social meetings we have had a Christ- inas party, a hike, and a flower show. The club is affiliated with the American Home Economics Association, and with the New York State Home Economics Association. AKI ClUE Cooperation has been tin key-note for members of the Art Club, in relation to the other extra-curricular activities.

C ICI V GLEE Cl CD This year the Girls Glee Club of thirty two members has l een under the leader- ship of Miss Arlene Anderson. Our officers were Ruby Ward, president: Alrneda Jackson, vice president: Arbutus Morgan, secretary: and Betty McLaughlin, treasurer. On September 20. the organization gave selections during a Parent-Teacher As- sociation assembly. They also cooperated with the Dramatic Club in producing the Christmas program and the Kasler Cantata. Both of these programs were sacred in character. The Christmas assembly opened with a processional of the robed singers. A play, “The Other Wise Man. was given with incidental music fur- nished by the Glee Club. The dim lights of the candles added greatly to the atmos- phere. The Caster Cantata, depicting the first Good Friday and Faster, was said t. have l een one of the most artistic productions of the year. The annual social function of the Glee Club was held on May 2. in the form of a dance. The proceeds of this party were used to buy dresses for the girls. The Girls’ Glee Club took part in lb ' annual Madison County Music festival held at the Cazenovia Central School on May 23. thus rounding out a very pleasant and successful year. BAND The Blue and Gold Concert Band of thirty-five members has appeared at a number of events during the year, including the Central Zone, New York State Teachers Association, parading at local and out-of-town football games, assemblies, dramatic contest, the Madison County Music Festival, and Waterville District Music- Contest. During the football season, extra marching practices were held, and the band appeared in the local Armistice Day parade. During the winter a concert repertory including a wide variety of compositions was perfected. Included in this repertory are several numbers chosen by the National School Band Association for schools three times the size of Cazenovia. Emphasis in rehearsal has been laid upon punctuality, alertness, cooperation, and particularly upon a fine tone quality from the various instruments. Except in two or three instances, the instrumentation of the band is complete, and there are competent performers in each of the various sections, as well as less seasoned players. Pupils with meager musical experience thus gain greatly by being placed next to experienced players on their own instru- ments. Besides several soloists, a number of ensembles have been formed, which have appeared on various occasions. The purpose of the small ensemble is to train the player in listening to the other parts, and fit his own part to them, without the guidance of a director. The small ensemble trains the pupil in initiative and in cooperation. The brass sextet participated in the New York State Band and Orchestra Contest in Syracuse in May, 1935, and won the rating of “good.” Clarinets Mae Barrelt Eileen Ryan Kenneth Kramer Bernard Brown Paul Howells Donald Greene Donald Way William Haynes Saxophones Eleanor Hay Burr Shaver Oboe Mae Barrett French Horns Paul Owens Gilbert Cunningham Alto Horns Edward Kennedy Theron Stafford William Colligan (hornets Kenneth Hitchcock Alice Platt Priscilla Barrett Robert Cunningham Marjorie Wood James Virgo Walter Furman Lawrence Cunningham Baritones Ward Smith Glenn Virgo Bernard Revoir Trombones Melville Clark.

During the early part of the year meetings were held at which instruction was given in various library practices. During the last semester individual instruction has been given as the need for special knowledge has arisen. Among the various types of work participated in by the assistants have been: Alphabetizing material, mending books and magazines, taking charge of the desk, arranging bulletin board displays, keeping magazine files in order, clipping, typing «d catalog cards, making out and checking overdue notices, and assisting in the making of bibliographies. The experience gained through such work is particularly valuable for those interested in library work as a profession and for others is most certainly an asset toward the worth) use of leisure time. Such experience is like- wise valuable as a means of self-help through college. Bob Niles: Say Prof, how long could I live without brains? Mr. Stannard: T hat remains to be seen.

We unanimously elected Roderick irgo as class president: irginia Thomas, vice president; June Thomas, secretary; and John Boland, treasurer. Mr. Bailey was elected class sponsor. Our class colors are maroon and white, and the flower is ihe white carnation. Our hall of actixities was started rolling w ith a verx successful Private. Charlie’s Melodians furnished the music: several enjoyed cards and ping-pong. On February 22. we were gtc sis of the seniors at their annual Junior and Senior Private. We sincerely wish to thank the entire class for an enjoyable evening. The most important event of the year, as juniors, was “Junior iking Nile.’ W’r feel that it was a great success dm to Ja k Callaway’s fine orchestra and extensive decorating under the excellent supervision or Mr. Bailey. Our patrons and patron sses and those in the receiving line were: Mr. and Mrs. Lowe. Mr. and Mrs. Buckley, Mr. Bailey, Miss Germer. irginia Thomas, and Roderick irgo. Each junior wore a white carnation. We hope that our senior year will l e as successful as the past vear has l� een. At the conclusion of this, our junior year, and the beginning of our senior career, we feel that in the past much has been accomplished by our cooperation and com- petent leadership.

It came to pass my child, that in the year 1936, a second great flood covered the earth, a flood which iny great grandfather has lo d me was by far more destructive and much worse than the one which Noah’s Ark rode safely to rest on Arrarat. In the year 1936 however the rains fell in sheets. I both cotton and linen), for fifty days and fifty dreary, dateless nights. From all those millions of peoples who then dwelt on the earth, one person had the foresight to fence the calamity whic h was to befall, the more lowly members of society This great leader was the president of a great senior class. I believe it was in what used to he the State of New York. Cazenovia Central High was the name of the school, if the storv has coine down to me without change. It is said that as the rains began lo I all. I resident (.lark railed his hand of seniors together, twenty- one fair lads, there were, and twenty-one lasses, still fairer Fellow classmates. cried President Clark, this civilization is doomed, because of the folly of those less gifted than we. Last night it came to me, in a dream that these rains were to continue until even the mountains about our peaceful village, will be submerged, and the peoples of the earth will Ik- lost. Hut wait.” he went on. “it also came to me in the dream that this noble group would be saved, to begin upon the earth a new civilization. I saw in our midst a sailor who came to us in our distress. Wilford Turner with his high powered launch, well provisioned, look us all aboard. Prepare yourself, classmates. He ready when W ilford comes gliding in lo rescue us from the rising waters. It has been decreed that vou and you alone may survive this deluge, that shall wipe from the fac e of the earth, the uninitiated freshmen, the lowly sophomores, and the disillusioned juniors.” President Clarke was indeed a wise leader, for very soon the waters came higher and higher. This worthy hand was led up to the roof of the school and just as the waters were to close in. the launch came rushing alongside to take them aboard. In this manner it is said the human race was saved from com- plete annihilation from the earth. The little hand cruised about for twenty days without sight of land, or tree upon the land, or any living thing. Finally upon the twentieth day the launch came to rest upon Nelson Hill, not far from their own Cazenovia. Day by day the water receded until finally the sun shone down upon them. All was clear blue sky above and dry land beneath their feel. The twenty-one valiant lads and twenty-one noble lasses stepped out from their sturdy craft to begin the rebuilding of a lost civilization, all traces of which had been destroyed by the merci- less waters. Surely a tremendous task faced this group. They nevertheless set out, undaunted by the enormity of their problem, for had they not already overcome great obstacles in attaining a coveted position in a society now extinct? It was most remarkable the way in which these resourceful seniors adapted themselves to their new life. Among the first problems was the provision of food and shelter. After great ••flort a number of caves were chipped out in the cliff of stone quarry hill. Sufficient provisions remained on the launch to k-'ep the hand for some time. In the warm fertile earth, seeds saved by Ernest Amo. soon grew to maturity and supplied the hand with fresh vegetables, grains and berries. Ernest was greatly aided in tilling his crops by a crude plow, fashioned by Carl Slanard from a forked piece of drift- wood. Many other tools and implements were made from stone and pieces of wood by this skillful lad. In one of the ca es Fred Moseley and “Mugs Blowers con- tentedly kept house. She cooked ard did the weekly wash in a nearby stream while Fred experimented with seedlings of fruit trees, that sprang up. in an effort to de- velop some desirable species. Greta Woodworth soon adapted hers-lf to the new life and assumed the responsibility of making a home for Wilford Turner who bartered fish and game for the grains grown by Amo. Dorothy Callahan and Betty Evans deftly fashioned baskets and furniture from the pliable willows that grew in pro- fusion along the streams. Clarence Cook set up a trading place in his ca e, carrying a complete line of this willow-ware which even included some ingenious cradles. He also traded in hows and arrows made by Joe Daley and Charlie Kennedy. Eddie Clarke and Howard Lieurance traded furs and carcasses of animals they had taken for new supplies of arrows and the latest model hows. In an adjoining cave. Don Pugh and Don Davis became skilled artisans making pottery and earthenware, beautifully designed by Donna Brimmer. Dolores Humphrey devised beautiful bits of clothing from fur for the dressmaking establishment of Coulter and W h'te, this firm boasting one of the few sod huts in the tribe. De Etta Burton modeled the latest creation in fur for the firm. Grace Bohbette clever I v de- vised combs and curlers from horn and bone to keep the locks of the fair ones from disorder and neglect. Henry Kindt busily ran errands, and kept Grade's shop at- tractive and neat. Don Wager busily brewed herbs and roots and ministered to the aches and pains of his fellows, while Fanny Johnson kept his (office) cave spick and span and made the appointments as patients called in via tom-tom. Carl Boland. I es O'Brien and Eddie Blair found self-support loo strenuous, so set up a form of government and managed to elect themselves to the ruling offices. Very efficient rulers they became, too! Lloyd Lyga and Mary Kennedy found life very enjoyable together and became a mighty hunter and huntress skilled in the use of modern weapons, the how and the knife. It has been said that Helen Lansing was a very happy bride the day she and Joe Daley came to share the same cave. The ceremony was performed by none other than Joe Gregg who a’so ministered to the moral needs of his fellows. A school was soon developed, under the capable princeptress-ship of Bose Hynes, with Ruby W ard instructing the second generation in music, drama and language, while Helen Wales taught home arts and the science of plant and animal life. Bill Yaneanskv assumed the job of keeping peace, and did right well with the aid of his fifty pound war club. Ford Ba rett experimented in the domestication of wild life and developed a large herd of milking deer. Celia Ingersoll and Clara Marris became skilled at curing and tanning skins which were in part used by Julia Barilla to make the latest type of footwear, in both moccasin and sandal styles. Many games were developed for the rugged hand by Don Kennedy, gourdes were used for balls and huge branches for clubs. In a cave by themselves, Rosy Dimon and Caddy Ryan resisted all efforts and advances of the cave men. and remained happy and single until their death. Tims little Owah. has your mother told you even as her mother told her, ever as for many generations, the story of the survival of that famous group, the Senior Class of 1936, has been passed down. SENIOR CLASS IIISTOCy Four years ago we. as freshmen, began our High school career. True to the ideas of all first year students, we felt that we had he- roine important. As a class we were not at all organized hut to make our presence felt we held a picnic at Chittenango Falls. At this, our only social event of the year, a baseball game was played between the hoys and girls. It is needless to say which side won. The following year we moved up a step in our ladder: we were sophomores. By this time it was very evident to us that high school was not just a social event, hut a certain amount of work had to he done. Xe became quite settled with Miss Daley as our adviser. Our only attempt to get in the limelight of society that year was when we held a party in the school gym. At this function Mr. and Mrs. Brimmer acted as chaperons. On October 22, 1934, we met again, only in the capacity of jun- iors this time. An election was held at which time Edward Clarke was selected as our class president: Kosamond Dimon. vice president: Ruby Ward, secretary, and Carl Boland, treasurer, l-ater in the year however, Carl resigned his office and Edward Blair was chosen to fill the vacancy. Mr. Hatch was chosen as our class adviser. Our first activity of the year was held December 21, 1934, in the form of a private dance party. On February 15, the senior class held a party in our honor. I his was a very nice dance and every one enjoyed it. The music of our Junior Prom started at nine o'clock, the evening of March 15. About two hundred people attended this gala event. I hen the class motored to Enna Jettick Park, in May, where every- one had a good time playing softball and eating. I he part we played in the commencement exercises closed our successful year as juniors. I he following September opened our last and most exciting year. Forty-two students became full-fledged seniors. We again selected Mr. Hatch as our adviser and Edward Clarke was reelected as class president. Joseph Gregg was chosen as vice president and Mary Kennedy as secretary. Edward Blair continued his duties as treasurer. On October 20 a Senior Private opened our series of social functions for the year. This was followed by the senior-faculty party which was held in December on Friday, the thirteenth. The annual senior play was held in February. Its success was largely due to the cooperation between our class and the Dramatic Club. On the twenty-second of that mouth we entertained the juniors at which time everyone enjoyed himself. The final event in our social calendar was successfully held on the evening of April 24, in the form of a Senior Ball. With this event completed, the class members started down the “home stretch toward the goal of commencement. Social Committee Rosamond Dimon, Chairman Ruby W ard Edward Clarke Joseph Gregg Grace Bobbette Edward Blair Elizabeth Parr DeEtte Burton Catherine Ryan Leslie O'Brien SENIOR SHI1I ACTIVITIES I he senior program of activities began on October 26 when the first Senior Private was held. Because of a previous football engagement on the same day, most of the life of the party was furnished by the girls. However, the majority of those present enjoyed refreshments in the cafeteria. I he second social function on the 1936 calendar was the senior-faculty party held on December 13, in the gymnasium. Members of the faculty were invited by formal invitation and they quickly entered into the program of dancing, cards and ping-pong, which had been prepared. Music was furnished by Charlie's Melodians and as a whole the party turned out to be one of the best of the year. During the intermission, a program was presented in the auditorium which brought to light many amateurs who were heretofore unknown. SENIOR CAM Sensational! Rhythmical! Both discovered, in our new dance band composed of Victor Miller and his Boys with sweet, sweet music that started our “Ball” rolling. Scene: A garden skirled with picket fences and evergreens, whose attractiveness was mostly due to our worthy adviser. We also give credit to Rosv Dimon, chairman of the dance; Bernadette White, chairman of the refreshment committee; and Clar- ence Cook, chairman of the decorating committee. About 200 guests mingled with the seniors at their annual debut with everyone enjoying now and then some punch and cookies in our decorative outdoor tearoom, where the soft strains of the distant music could be heard, while couples sipped their punch in the silver moonlight. As the couples glided across the floor, the glittering stars in the sky lent their tender light to the atmosphere. The sweet aroma of ever- greens added greatly to the romance of the evening. The distinguished members of the class of thirty-six, wearing yellow roses, were very proud of their party, as they had a right to be. One of the most original and unique social functions ever to be held throughout the history of our school, came to an end as the strains of “Home Sweet Home” flowed from the instruments of the musicians. me siMd puy At the senior meeting held on September 6, the class president appointed the committee which was to select a suitable play for our senior production. This group was to he responsible for setting a date and making all arrangements necessary to insure a successful presentation. A short time after, the committee, consisting of Clarence Cook, chairman: Don Wager, Ruby Ward. Eddie Blair, Fred Moseley, Henry Kindt, and Donna Brimmer met and on September 27. 1935. made its report to the class. They selected three comedies and three mysteries from which the class was to choose. The most popular of the six seemed to be the “Cat and the Canary, by John W illard. Satisfactory arrangements were made with the Thespians society so that the two organizations cooperated in producing one of the best-liked plays of the year. As soon as classes were resumed, following the Christmas holidays, the students who were dramatically inclined, met to compete in try-outs for the arious characters in the play. Under the able directorship of Mr. Moon and Mr. Clark, rehearsals for the play were started. The drama was presented on February 6 and 7, with a different cast each night. Both performances were well attended by very appreciative audiences. At ten o’clock. Friday evening, February 7, the curtain fell for the last time on a play which represented much labor, both on the part of the casts and the directors. The show was not entirely completed, however, until the characters, stage hands, and directors met in the cafeteria of the school to enjoy refreshments. Mr. Brimmer: W here does steel wool come from? Grace Bobbette: Off the sheep on the iron mountain. ■m yiAR EO l VI Al l Carl Boland Frederick Moseley Dolores Humphrey Editor-in-chief Business Manager Staff Artist Dorothy Callahan Clarence Cook Howard Lieurance Henry Kindt Sales Manager Assistant Editor Activities Editor ertising Manager Seniors, yes, hut even more than that. Io the people who have worked on the staff of this book, their last year of high school means a little pleasure combined with many long hours of hard work. More than once the midnight oil has been burned to the last drop. They have worked, always with only one thing in mind; a successful year book which would he read and enjoyed by their many friends. Their only reward has been their only goal: the satisfaction derived from this publication. I he success or failure of this hook is not due to any one ol the stall members hut to the cooperation among all of them. Work on the book was started shortly after the opening of school. Members of the staff were appointed to their various duties and each started his activity. Many meetings were called as there were numerous plans to he made. Under the man- agement of Fred Moseley, material for the book was gradually compiled. During the last week of April and the first week in May all of the staff managed to keep quite busy. Much credit should Ik given the senior typists who cooperated in the publishing of the volume. The publishers of this annual also wish to thank the various organizations for the way in which they have cooperated. IT) CUD A.I I IS I With fingers deft and skillful eye.
