Regents! Were we to be Seniors or weren’t we? However, by this time, as we had become accustomed to them, they did not bother us so much. Finally late in September—late because of the remodeling of the old High School building—twenty-six studentes came to school and were as- signed a room by themselves—recognized leaders of the High School. This year it seemed we took most of the honors of B. H. S. When the Glee Club organized in the fall the president, the vice-presi- dent and the treasurer were all chosen from our class. Of our two representatives on the Athletic Association Council for the fall term one was chosen secretary, the other vice-president. When the Special Chorus of the Glee Club staged a banquet during the winter to which they invited the faculty, one of our classmates had the honor to be chosen toastmaster—or rather toastmistress. Again our class was well represented on the football team, two letters being received in our class of six boys. Shortly after the January Regents, we organized our class and chose our officers. We are the largest class that has ever graduated from the High School—not only in quantity but also in quality. At the Athletic Association Banquet, held late in January one of our members represented the High School students on the toast list while others made the evening enjoyable with their songs and with the pretty decorations. Then came the baseball season. Of course we had to be represented on the baseball team in this, our last year of High School. Therefore we generously provided the captain and the manager of the team. This year for the first time in several years our school took part in the Prize Speaking Contest held among the High Schools of Onondaga County. The representative of Baldwinsville High School, a senior, of course, took second prize in the boy’s contest. We were unable to win a prize in the girls’ contest simply because there wras no contestant from our class. In other years Senior Classes have talked of having a Senior dance. This dance has never appeared. This year’s class, however, not only talked of having one, but actually had it. The report is that it was one of the most delightful dances ever held in Baldwinsville. That everybody had a good time goes without saying. Once more we were represented on Decoration Day in the exercises in memory of the War Veterans. Again a Kyne scholarship for Spelling has come to one of our class- mates. JAMES FUESS. CLASS ROLL Frederick Homer Lysander, District No. 2 President of the Senior Class; Senior Play. “Better late than never.” Bertha Patchett North Side Grammar School Vice-President of the Senior Class; Senior Play; Class Prophecy; Glee Club; Senior Dance Committee. “A cheerful mind maketh a cheerful countenance.” 5
