It has been recorded in detail well enough to let any historian kno v what the noble Senior Class of 1922 have conquered. The question now before our promising young class is what there is still for them to conquer. We hear the trumpet calling, but we know not in which division we belong. One member, however, is already setting out with an armor of smiles, besides a will of cast iron and other numerous implements of war- fare, to conquet some wonderful creatures called “kids.” We shall all fall in line eventually. Suddenly a firecracker goes off under our feet, and we think it is a meteor from Virginia or a bomb from Russia. How the little things of life make us tremble! Recovering from our fright, wfe see some of our old friends marching on through the battle of life. Some look as if they needed a rousing cheer, or “Backs to backs of benches, please.” Many seem to be using the most valuable tool in the wrorld, the human brain. They are building a bridge of firm foundations across their valley of dreams, pausing now' and then to consider seriously how to connect dreams with realities without crossing the bridge never to return. After our knapsack is packed and our gun is loaded, we must be sure to have an aim in life’s battle before pulling the trigger. WINIFRED HART. CLASS HISTORY Having left the Old World forever behind us in 1918—for such we then, as proud graduates from the Baldwinsville Grammar School, con- sidered ourselves—wre set sail as a band of Pilgrims bound for a new land. All summer long we wandered about, tossed hither and thither by the waves of opinion of our friends and advisors, as to what we should do and where we should go, whether to let the trials and joys of school life be forever a thing of the past, or to enter upon the more serious voyage of high school life. Some who were discouraged left us along the way; but most of us resolved at least to attempt the journey, leaving our future in the hands of fate. All questions concerning our course wrere settled in the meantime. The much-longed for and long dreaded day finally arrived w’hen we should be- gin our first day in the New World. We set out early to begin this first day successfully by getting possession of the abodes most sought for by all new- comers—the back seats. Some succeeded while others failed. Soon, how- ever, we were told that the back seats were reserved for those having the highest averages the previous year; therefore, we must take seats in the front of the room till we should have earned this honor. This was only a minor trouble, as we soon learned; and only one of our many plans to be destroyed that day. We then began to make out our schedules for the year, as a necessary task to be completed before we ex- plored unknown lands—the class rooms. After listening to much advice and many explanations and directions, we finally accomplished it; but not without much confusion caused by changing our previous plans because other “settlers” had failed to “move on” as a result of the fatal regents examinations. This difficulty overcome, our heads whirling with numberless directions, the location of various class rooms, and the laws of the new land, it having been announced that all classes would meet for a short time, we set out on our first trip of exploration. In our attempt to remember all the “don’t,” we forgot where we were going and how to get there. At a loss as to what 8 to do, we decided to follow some one ahead of us whom we knew to be bound for the same destination as we. But in the jostling, thronging crowd going in all directions, we were thrust aside and made to lose sight of our leader until we found ourselves floundering in an unknown wilder- ness. We struggled on. Finally we entered a class room where we looked about greatly dismayed to see no one we knew. The teacher set us right, and we reached our destination fully resolved to know where we were going next time, regardless of all “rules and regulations.” After many such experiences, we became accustomed to our new life and soon learned to break the rules, do what we should not do, and make ourselves regular nuisances. For further information, we refer you to any of our teachers. Thus the first and most exciting days of our high school life passed by and we became initiated freshmen of B. H. S. Freshmen: As freshmen girls, our first trouble came with initiation into the famous and renowned Glee Club. We were fully impressed as to the importance of the event by the constant reminders of the members, Again and again, we were told of the terrible punishments of those who broke the rules of this sacred society. We survived and soon began to enjoy terrifying others. Before the first baseball game, the freshmen boys were called out to roll the baseball diamond—the usual task of the freshmen. Sophomores: As sophomores, we began to share in the honors of our new land. One of our number was chosen to go to the Valley as the rep- resentative of our high school in the County Spelling Contest. Another was treasurer of the Athletic Council. And still another was on the vic- torious Girls’ Basketball team. Juniors: Having thus shown our ability at home, we extended our fame to other communities through several of our remarkable singers who took part in the successful cantata given in Oswego by our girls. This year we were represented in the Athletic Council by two members, one of whom was treasurer and the other secretary each term. The baseball manager—who, we were lately told by one who ought to know, was far superior in all things—was of our number. The victorious Girls’ Basket- ball team of this year also had several of our class on it. So, too, had the Boys’ Team. The speakers at the Athletic Banquet completed our laurels lor that year. Seniors: As Seniors, we gained similar honors on the governing body for athletics; one member being secretary each term. The Glee Club owed its 1922 success to three of our worthy members. We crowned our honor as speakers at the Athletic Banquet and at the Junior-Senior Banquet. We feel proud to say that we have representatives from almost every walk of life; one having already attempted matrimony, while still another is a ris- ing young banker. The latter, however, evidently believing in beginning at the foot of the ladder and working up, for he is now engaged, we notice, is carrying the bank’s mail to and from the post office daily. We have already delayed too long and must now leave dear old B. H. S. True to our name of Pilgrims, we must still wander further in quest of new honors. ELLEN McDERMOTT. GLEE CLUB ACTIVITIES (1921-1922) At the meeting of the Glee Club, which was held October 13, 1921, our worthy officers were elected. Three of this estimable group were Seniors. As they have all performed their duties with care and precision, we are pleased to extend to them our profound thanks. But we are sorry to say that our secretary left our number in February to embark upon a more favorable cruise upon the sea of matrimony,—a novice from Syracuse hav- ing volunteered his services as captain. 9 On November 9, we held a picnic supper at the close of school. At this, all enjoyed the initiation of the freshmen and the new faculty mem- bers into our worthy order. The great event of the year was our Glee Club dance, held in Novem- ber at the Grange Hall. Some of the members of student body surprised us by appearing with heretofore unsuspected “Beaux.” In December our special chorus gave a Christmas cantata at the Parish House for the benefit of the Parent-Teachers’ Association. The chorus is especially indebted to a number of our aspiring young men, who, by their melodious voices, but chiefly by their widely-advertised “appearance in person,” made the concert a great success. Under the direction of Miss Roth, an Operetta, entitled “The Jewel- Maiden,” was offered the music lovers of Baldwinsville at the Parish House on May 19-20. Judging from this performance, we are certain that the special chorus will soon be displaying other laurel wreaths on their already over-burdened brows. The proceeds of this concert were given to the Parent-Teachers’ Association “to do with as they will.” As our Glee Club has held its place in the front ranks for some time, now the prime concern in our minds is that it hold this place for many years to come. ALICE McDONALD. JUNIOR-SENIOR BANQUET Following in the footsteps of preceding classes, the Juniors and Seniors held a banquet April 6, 1922, in the lower halls of the Academy. The eighty persons present could hardly decide whether the decorations or the dinner was the better, so well had the committees done their work. In accordance with the precedent established in former years, the President of the Seniors, Clifford Tappan, acted as “toastmaster.” The following toasts were given: The Juniors ........................................ Vera Gates. Happenings in the Study Hall ..................... Norma Wright. Athletics ......................................... Vance Gates. The Seniors ..................................... Dorothy Smith. The Faculty ....................................... James Fuess. A very interesting toast, given by Mr. Elden, completed the program. As there is no doubt that the banquet was a great success, our earnest hope is that all future classes will continue this custom. MURIEL MAXON.

Why five years ago I was a physical weakling.” Cecil: “Well?” David W.: “Feel my muscle now!” Muriel: “Why do they put corn meal on the dance floor?” Russell: “To make the chickens feel at home.” Miss Boyington: “What do you work at, Alice?” Alice: “At intervals.” MAE HENCLE, BERNICE REEVES. SPELLING There have been two county spelling tests this year, in which Alma Weeks and Walter VanDenburg received the highest standings. They tried a test of fifty words, given by Mr. Elder, to determine which one would represent the' school at the county contest to be held at Liverpool. Alma Weeks was chosen. On two different mornings, an old-fashioned spell-down was held in which about twenty of the best spellers took part. Lena Loope was the winner in the last one. . . Mr. Kyne has offered two prizes for the best spellers in the school, the first prize being a seventy-five dollar scholarship, and the second, a fifty dollar scholarship to Central City Business School.

ATHLETIC BANQUET About the most successful occasion of the year was the Athletic Ban- quet. The dinner, served by the ladies of the Baptist Church, was pro- nounced the “best ever” by one hundred and forty-six students, alumni, and friends. 14 Mr. Charles O’Brien, toastmaster, presided in a witty and pleasing manner. He also gave us very valuable information in regard to obtain- ing more exercise. Miss Vera Gates, representing the student body, gave a sketch of high school athletic activities as carried on now, and as the students hope they will be carried on in the near future by means of the added facilities of a new school building. Miss Lenora Wormuth gave an interesting account of high school athletics in building good citizenship. Mr. J. Alfred Ward, representing the alumni, told of athletics from the standpoint of the Alumni. Our most honored guest, Mr. Bert Gerelick, former captain of the Syra- cuse University football team, spoke on the “University.” He gave many reasons why the high school student should look forward to a college course by taking part in some branch of athletics. The program was pleasantly varied by the songs of our famous tenor, John O’Herin, assisted by a chorus of high school boys. Mr. Elden completed the program by presenting block letters to the worthy members of the football squad. The Freshmen, however, declared the dancing from ten to twelve the best part of the program. (Well, each one must decide for himself!) DOROTHY VIRGINIA. FOOTBALL (1921) At the beginning of this 1921 season, our “hopes” for a good football team looked very promising. We thank those who helped develop these “hopes” into the real thing. After all is said, there was one outstanding feature of our team. The Spirit! It was wonderful! It was more than luck when James Gifford was elected captain. His captainship will ever be remembered by his men and this school. This year brought out a banner team. In a schedule of ten games, all of which had to be fought for, especially those with Phoenix, we won four and tied one. This might not seem to reflect much credit, but it will when I say that our opponents scored seventy-four points against our sixty-seven. BASEBALL (1922) Following the custom established in 1921, the Baldwinsville High School Athletic Association joined a baseball league which consists of the small high schools of Onondaga county. This league is divided into two sections, the eastern and the western, Baldwinsville belonging to the west- ern league. A series of seven games was scheduled for each school to play during the season. A trophy will be given to the team of each league that receives the highest number of votes for sportsmanship. The winners of the trophies are decided by the vote of the players of all the teams. The winning teams of the two leagues will play each other. The vic- tor will receive the championship cup. 15 ROY DELANEY. CLASS POEM Soon, ah, all too soon will come The end of our happy school days— Those “dear, old, golden school days,” And the thought of it makes us glum. In a way, we will be very glad Of “no more pencils, no more books, No more teacher’s sassy looks;’’ And yet, we feel so blue and sad. When we think of those long, tedious hours. With their multitudinous worries and cares, Helping only to accumulate gray hairs— What fate can keep us from green, mossy bowers? But after all is said and done, But oft will we recall those fleeting minutes of fun. Those seconds, blissful and serene— Even though few and far between— WThich sometimes occured before our work was done. It is then that we long to abide forever ’Neath the old “Crimson and the White,’’ To help her, you know, to keep aright— But serve her we must, and forever. Joys wili forever come and go, And with sorrows blend; But to you we can send This lesson—you will reap what you sow. But after all is said and done, Who will forget dear Alma Mater, She the clay, we the potter? None, I believe, no not one! So, dear Alma Mater, adieu! Beloved in our memory shalt thou be. We will hear you admonishing o’er every lea And to you, we will try to be true. NORMA H. WRIGHT. CLASS PROPHECY At last I have found a paper that gives an account of what the mem- bers of our old Senior Class of 192 2 are doing. I have been looking for such a paper for a long, long time. Well, according to this paper— Clifford Tappan, the President of the Senior Class of 1922, now agent for the Durant automobiles, is always being pressed on (Preston) to higher ideals. Norma, W’right, who, immediately after her graduation from B. H. S., took a course in Domestic Silence—Domestic Science—found that she did not like to teach the subject after all. Now she is trying her luck teaching the subject of French to a class of one. (Well, Norma was always inter- ested in the subject of French.) Hum-m—Walter must be out of a position now. I see by the paper that he has applied for two positions, one in Cold Spring and the other in 16 Dr. Kratzer’s dental office, to work as assistant. I believe he would prefer the one in the dental office from all that I can remember of his high school days. Ellen McDermott, it says, is teaching French in the Baldwinsville Academy. Vance Gates has taken up a new profession. He is studying to be a rector. (Good luck to him!) Good gracious! Mae Hencle and Mary Connor are partners in a shop —a millinery shop. Mae, who is very artistic, is most successful in tying bows, especially the new tea bows (Tebo). In this work she is ably as- sisted by Mary, who is also very fond of the tea bow (Tebo). John Reid has gone into the aeroplane business; but he doesn’t have to loop the loop any more, as he already has one loop (Loope) in his possession. Ardus Kratzer is physical training instructor in one of the Syracuse high schools. (To be a physical training instructor was Ardus’ one ambi- tion when she was in school.) William French, the noted lawyer, tries to have all his verdicts right. (No reason why they shouldn’t be, as you know Wright is in the family.) Here is an advertisement from Lena Belle Loope, the noted statistician! Indeed, sho is well fitted for such work because she always did love to read (Reid). Roy Delaney, a member of the Assembly, has finally succeeded in hav- ing a new road put through between Baldwinsville and Cross Lake. (Of course, we all know why Roy wished that new road put through.) Vera Gates is a stenographer for the firm of Gifford and Son. (As we are well aware, it isn’t the Gifford part that attracts Vera’s attention; it must be the Son.) Esther Hahn, the most expert stenographer in New York City, never has to have her dictation repeated for her as she gets everything to the line (DeLyne). Alice McDonald—a well-known leader in politics. (She ought to be fitted for this position as she always was a good talker.) WTinifred Hart, who is the new speaker of the Assembly, has the honor of being the first woman that has ever been chosen as speaker. (Surely, Winifred will get along all right, as talking was always her strong point.) Dorothy Virginia, the very popular actress, is leading a life of gaiety (Gayeity!) Lulu Gaylord, I see, has gone abroad to study design. Bernice Reeves is teaching in the Lysander High School. Oh, yes, I remember having heard that. Evidently she is very strict as I heard she is always tapping (Tappan) the bell. Muriel Maxon, now a fashionable modiste, delights in sewing on any kind of material that has a rustle (Russell) to it. Ethel Sochia is catalogue clerk in the new library in San Francisco. Donella Farrell is now living alone near Memphis, where she is de- voting her time to the raising of Angora cats. (It seems to me Donella was always singing, “I ain’t nobody’s darlin' ” when she was in high school.) MARION FRAWLEY. LAST WILL AND TESTAMENT We, the Senior Class of 1922, of the Baldwinsville Academy of Bald- winsville, in the County of Onondaga and State of New York, being of sound mind and memory, do make, publish and declare this our last Will and Testament, in manner following that is to say: 17 First: We direct that this Will be executed by that worthy body of our elders, but not our superiors, the Faculty. Second: We direct that all our just debts and funeral expenses be paid by this year’s Junior Class, in return for the great benefits they will receive from us when they fill our places next year. Norma Wright bequeathes her overwhelming love for French to another equally enthusiastic lover of the subject, Robert Turner. Her wonderful record of never having been absent or tardy during her whole school career, she wills to Frances McCarthy. Mae Hencle and Mary Connor leave all their beaux, Tebeaux included, to Kathryn Snyder, because they say, “She needs them more than we do.” Lulu Gaylord wills her noiseless, demure manner to Kenneth Mawhinney. Ardus Kratzer leaves all interest in a certain Walter to Bertha Patchett, who just now seems to be specializing in that particular brand called “Walters.” Donella Farrell, who for some reason has always felt herself far above the rest of us, wills that her means of looking down upon people be divided between Irene Jensing and Charles Young. Ethel Sochia wills her great ability to remember the smallest details of her lessons (even if she does get them in the wrong place) to John Miller. Vance Gates, “our celebrated debater,” wills his great ability to argue, no matter where he is or what the point at issue, to one who seriously lacks this accomplishment, James Fuess. Dorothy Virgina, who is the only one of us to have a worthy title, wills this title, “Ma Petite,” to Dorothy Kratzer, that the school may still have “Ma Petite Dorothy”—little Dorothy. Roy Delaney wills his model conduct, which he keeps wrapped up in cotton wool and preserved with moth balls, to Arthur Fellows. Esther Hahn leaves her factory where A-lines, C-lines, DeLines are made, to Roswell Horner that he will have a good line (of talk) when he becomes an “auto” salesman. Winifred Hart wills her budding genius as an editorial writer, and her book on “How to Attract the Opposite Sex,” to Doris Barney. Ellen McDermott wills her wonderful power of concentration, even when such an alluring thing as a boy is around, to Alma Weeks. Alice McDonald wills her power to make one and two make five and her amazing preference for study, to William Lewis Clark. Muriel Maxon, the girl with the “rustle,” wills her beloved type- writer, that “No. 8 Noiseless Smith,” to Florence Baker. Bernice Reeves bequeaths her novel theories of dispicpline, which she expects to use in the near future, either in teaching school or in managing somebody, to the teachers of the High School. Clifford Tappan wills his business efficiency and ability to get noise out of anything, even out of the organ in Room Six, to quiet Jack Eggleston. Lena and John, the two musicians of the Senior Class, will their great ability to “play together” to Ilda Rice and Homer Abbott. Marion Frawley bequeaths her power of persuasion to Robert Church, because she feels that he may need it in a few years. In witness whereof, we have hereunto subscribed our name the 27th day of June, in the year nineteen hundred and twenty-two. SENIOR CLASS OF 1922. VERA GATES. 18 FINAL POEM We are the Class of ’22, And now we bid farewell to you. With all our work and little play, We have enjoyed each high school day. On this motto, we all agree, “Grasp this opportunity.” We have followed it through high school life, And now we are ready for a greater strife. So goodbye, dear old B. H. S. It is sad to leave you, we must confess, May we, for the sake of thy old name. Go onward and upward into fame! Now that we’ve finished our little book. Once more to the future we shall look. This little book we leave with you, And again we say, “Adieu, Adieu.” MARY CONNOR. FORD AGENCY MATSON VAN DERVER All Genuine Ford Parts Sold Crew Levick Oils and Greases Prompt Service Given E. H.
