We a'.l thought, that as long as we have the honor of being the first class to graduate from the new school building, our new school would be an appropriate topic. Probably everyone who reads this article, has seen the new building and will agree with us that it is worthy of our sincere admir- tion. That it has inspired the scholastic of the pupils is shown by the in- creased number of students on the honor roll. It has had a stimulating effect on athletics, for we have just finished the most successful season in many years; in fact, without the new gymnasium, it would have been im- possible to have had a Basketball team. In addition to this many fine entertainments have been held in the new Auditorium which otherwise could not have been given, and in which not only students hut also the peo- ple of the town have shown interest. These things have produced a notice- able effect on the school spirit of B. H. S. All in all we Seniors believe that Baldwinsville now has a High School of which all may well be proud and which is worthy of the utmost loyalty and devotion from every student and alumnus. J. VAN B. COE. THE CLASS PLAY '‘Strong Medicine,” a comedy in two acts, was chosen by a committee appointed from the members of the Senior Class. In it, Dr. Gordon, who has proposed to Dr. Davidson's daughter at the hospital In the morning between operations and has been rejected, of course, is very ill at ease. Dr. Davidson, liking the young doctor, arranges an informal evening party to help restore Dr. Gordon in his daughter’s graces. To this party he invites Miss Crisp, his very business-like young lady attendant; Mrs. Van Tilt, a very fashionable lady who is fashionably ill at his sanatarium; or, rather, thinks she is; and his orderly. Kenry who is a very cheerful(?) person. On receiving a telephone call that his daughter. Kitty, will not be home for a half hour. Dr. Davidson decides that it would be best to stag a rehearsal wdth Miss Crisp acting in Kitty’s place. The rehearsal changes to a reality (partly through some wine served by Mary, the maid). Miss Crisp accepts Dr. Gordon’s proposal and Mrs. Van Tilt. Dr. Davidson's. A telegram arrives just before the end which states that Kitty has been mar- ried and is returning home with her husband and the minister. Thus all parties are satisfied and the play has a delightful ending. I r. Davidson . . Dr. Gordon . . . Miss Crisp Mrs. Van Tilt Mary, the maid Henry.......... CAST OF CHARACTERS ......... George D.

THE CLASS OF 1924 Three years ago last September, we. as a class, entered the old Acad- emy building in dread cf Professor Elden. the corps of teachers and those upper classmen who were determined to indict sufferings ou us poor ■‘frosh;” for example, severing our ties somewhere near the knot—lucky 2 the boy who wore a bow tie—and making the freshmen roll the campus before the baseball season commenced. However, we grinned and bore everything until it became our turn to make the incoming Class of 1925 suffer in like manner. Our dread of the faculty changed to a liking and friendliness for them which was far differ- ent from what we expected. Through the valiant endeavor of that very faculty which we dreaded. w e have lived—some for four years, others for more or less—through our High School course, working hard for the goal which we had set for our- selves—graduation from our Alma Mater, B. H. S. And now, after many incidents, pleasant and otherwise during our four years in High School, we have reached that goal at last! Of course, we are the best yet” as far as classes are concerned (in our own opinion, at least). By applying our motto, Pluck Not Luck, we will be enabled to make our class, as a whole, one long to be remembered in the annals of local his- tory. We, having decided that Luck is too fickle to be of any practical value, are staking our all, as far as life in the future is concerned, on Pluck which will not disappoint us. The Class of 1924 now leaves the halls of B. H. S., some to resume (heir studies in halls of other institutions of learning and some to train themselves through experience rather than study. We thank our Alma Mater and her faculty for the training and knowledge which they have given us, feeling sure that other classes will get the same careful attention. THE CLASS OF 1925 Hail to our successors as Seniors of B. H. S ' They do not now real- ize the dignity which goes with that highly honored position. However, after receiving and heeding Miss Wormuth's admonitions to remember that they, as Seniors, are the example of the whole school, they will grad- ually acquire that decorum which so well befits persons who are examples of so vast a body of fine young people. With complete assurance that they will find Miss Wormuth the ideal teacher and adviser, we consign them, regretful that we are not the recipients rather than the givers, of the honor, to Miss Wormuth's care, wishing them good luck throughout their Senior year. SOPHOMORES Great unwieldly class that they are! Not as individuals hut as a whole because of this vast number. In numbers there is strength” but Might does net always make right.” Therefore it would be to their ad- vantage to make for themselves a good reputation in the two years left to them in High School They will find a good reputation of inestimable value both in High School and after graduation or departure from that institution JUNIOR HIGH SCHOOL A new institution in our local educational system this last year. Above the Senior High School as far ns distance of the class-rooms from the ground is concerned but much below the members of that organization, so far as dignity and reputation may be counted. 3 i i ! We missed the joys and trials of attending a Junior High School. We really, though, are not as sad about it as we may seem to be. Although we love B. H. S. we consider four years preferable to six in the same place. Scholars and faculty both sincerely hope that the supervised study plan will teach them how to concentrate on the business in hand, thus lightening the burdens of the teachers in charge of both study halls and class rooms and improving the chances of a career in High School of just the ordinary amount of time and with better marks. “Bon Voyage,' to all of these young students who are following in our footsteps. GEORGE D. LEWIS, JR. CLASS HISTORY On the evening of June 23, 1920, thirty-five students carefully in- structed by Miss Rindge and Mr. Baker were graduated from the Grammar Department of Baldwinsville Academy, and were ready to enter High School. The long summer was spent in anxious expectation of the day, when as “Freshmen we would enter that hall of learning, known then as the study hall. At length one day early in September our ambitions were realized and in that famous old study hall, we took the front seats as we were directed by our superiors, the Sophomores. At first we were at a loss as to what to do and where to go. But being apt students, taught by the upper classmen, w'e soon learned to fix up a copied lesson, to bluff through a class, and to do all the other things the Freshies” used to do. In a few weeks we had our first experience with quarterly exams. We withstood the attacks cf the Faculty, and were given the back seats because of our high averages. In October the girls joined the Glee Club and. with a few members of the Faculty, were initiated. The boys, feeling slighted because they were not allowed to join, invaded the building and escaped with some of the eats. Of course, we were well represented in the Athletic Association, and one of our number was elected to the Athletic Council to represent our interests there. Some of the girls, being gifted with melodious voices, were called to join the special chorus. During the year they journeyed to Oswego, to give the Cantata. In the spring, they appeared in Trial -By Jury,” pre- sented by the special chorus. As Freshmen, our talent was recognized and two of our members took part in a Christmas play given in the study hall. Not to be outdone by the Sophomores, the Freshmen held a picnic at the Sand Bar. Everyone had an enjoybale time, although the mos- quitoes were rather numerous. Tn June came another attack, this time not from the Faculty, but from the Board of Regents. In the battle many lost, and we returned as Fophcmores with many of our number missing. This year we were to shine brighter than ever. Our representative to the Athletic Council was chosen vice-president of that body for the first term, and treasurer, the second term. During the football seasou we furnished the cheer leader, while the assistant cheer leader during the baseball season was one of us. Our class was well represented on the football team, and a few of our members made the basketball team. In athletic ability, we were never found lacking. Again our talented members entertained us at Christmas time, in a play under Miss Pike’s management. 4 BASKET HALL TEAM In April the special chorus presented ‘'.Jewel Maiden. in the Parish House. Five members of our class took part and helped make it the success that it was. In June. Regents were again inflicted upon us. This time we with- stood them better and lost only a few' members. When we returned as Juniors, we found a larger number, some of whom are yet Juniors, waiting to join our class. This year we were destined to receive more honors. One of our members was chosen manager of the football team, while some of our classmates were members of the team. When the Glee Club was organized one of our members was chosen secretary. During the first half-year, one of our representatives to the Athletic Council was elected treasurer. In the spring, the assistant manager of baseball was one of us, while many of our members played on the team. In May, we joined with Seniors in holding a picnic at Cross Lake. The Seniors furnished the eats' but the Juniors provided the chaperons. During the second half year, the vice-president of the Athletic Coun- cil was one of our representatives. On Memorial Day, a member of our class delivered General Logan’s Orders at the cemetery. And then came June Regents, which would decide whether or not we were to be Seniors. This year we were especially lucky, as we lost only six members. At length, late In September, twenty-six Seniors, recognized rulers of all they surveyed, entered the new school building and were assigned to room 107 under the supervision of Miss Wormuth. This year, although our last, was one most enjoyable. In every line we were able to capture honors. The president and the secretary of the Glee Club were chosen from our class. The vice-president and the secretary or the Athletic Council for the entire year were members of our class. Early in October an orchestra was organized, and of course, the Senior Class was represented. During the football season we furnished the team with some of Its best players. The manager of the boys’ basketball team was one of us. while many of the players on both the boys’ and girls’ teams were Seniors. Late in January we organized our class and elected our officers. Although the Class of '22 boasted of being the largest class ever graduat- ed from the High School, we take that privilege away from them, as we have four members more than they bad. With all their enthusiasm and •pep the Seniors began their activities early. On February 21st. the Seniors held a dance in the Grange Hall. Of course, who could help but have a delightful time at a dance given by such a class! In March the Junior-Senior banquet was held in the gymnasium. The Senior girls saw that plenty of “good eats’’ were furnished, while the president of the Senior Class very generously provided a toast list. Every- one had an enjoyable time. Then the baseball season—always full of school spirit. We gave our best students to the baseball team. In April for the first time since 11)18, the Bigelow Prize Speaking con- test was held in the auditorium. The Senior Class furnished two speak- ers for the occasion. Late in May, the Seniors held another dance in the Grange Hall. That it w'as a complete success. goes without saying. During the month of June we have had many enjoyable times, and we are here to-night, happy, since we know we are graduates, but sorry that we must leave B H. S.

Baldwinsville Academy, and being in possession of sound mind and judg- ment. do hereby make, publish and declare this to be our last Will and Testament. FIRST—We direct that all our just debts and expenses be paid by the Board ot’ Education. SECOND—To the members of the Faculty we leave our appreciation for all that they have made us do and all that they have kept us from do- ing; especially to Miss Rauch we give our thanks for her patience with “doubting Thomases.” S THIRD—To the Juniors, who. although they are as yet far inferior to us, have at least attracted attention, we leave cur dignity, our room, and the kind sympathies of Miss Wormuth. To these would-be scholars we bequeath as follows: 1. Edith King, the famous basketball star, leaves her uniform and reputation to Hilda Kelly. 2. Harold Green, being well over the measles, leaves his interest in Dr. Spongier to Somebody else. He has plenty of other interests any- how. Even Miss Pike thinks so. The other day she saw Harold in the corridor talking to Dorothy Gossner. ‘Well Harold, she said, How many girls have you? This makes three that I know of this year. 3. Mary Sinnett leaves her oral English assignment to Louise Van Denberg. 4. De La Vergne Mills bequeaths his springy walk (the sign of an athlete we suppose) to John Cornell. 5. Russell Horner leaves the use of his Ford to his younger broth- er, for next year (that is of course, if It hangs together that long and he doesn't overload it with that famous Terpentine meanwhile). 6. Arthur Weldon leaves to Bernard Thompson his books of Cicero and Math. He can’t seem to get rid of them otherwise. 7. James Gifford, never in a hurry, leaves his watch and the time of day to Bruce Root. 8. Marion House wills six Inches of her height and a few of those admired curls to Edna Catherine Moyer. 9. Maynard Hencle, sometimes called Georgia Washington for short, leaves his experience in dish-breaking, etc., to Mr. Getman. 10. Anna DeLyne leaves her reputation as a troublesome child to Vera Rice. 11. Frances Mawhinney and Genevieve McCarthy bequeath all of their freckles to Kenneth McWhinney. 12. Harriet Kratzer wills her comb to Dorothy Chapin, providing she joins the bobbed hair brigade' as it is called. 13. Helen Garrett bequeaths her knowledge of Alexander the Great to Edith Johnson. 14. Frances Virginia wills her generosity and personal charm to Martha Crook. I believe Frances must have gotten some of her politeness trom Mrs. Prudhon. They’re together so much and anyway they're both that dark-haired bewitching Fren.h type. Frenchmen are so polite.' You know the other day Mrs. Prudhon jammed into her desk and said Pardon me. Then she looked around sheepishly to see if anyone had heard her. Xo. Alexander Reed, having found great attractions in New York State, leaves his interest in the Virginias to Arthur Fellows. 16. Sherman Gilmore leaves his remarkable ability as an artist to Frederick Scars 17. Helen Gates leaves what is left of her books after cramming for Regents to Gertrude Maloney. 15. George Lewis bequeaths his ability to faint to Edward O'Brien. 19. Thomas Reider leaves his gift of gab and his quick motion to Clancy McNeil. 20. Doris Barney leaves her punctuality to Esther and John Clark. 21. Van Coe is noted for his forgetfulness which he leaves to Adria Gaylord. Van usually doesn't remember that there is school until about one minute to school time. Then he saunters in and smiles at the clock, satisfied that he's on time. 22. Dorothy Guess likes to take the part of hair-dresser. Just the other day she asked Homer Abbott if he wanted his hair combed. Homer looked startled and exclaimed, “Does it need it! V ell, Dorothy leaves this peculiar trait to Ellen Peterson. 23. Anna Hurley leaves her amazing power Helen Brown. 9 of concentration to 24. Edna Wheaton, the enthusiastic Biology student, the girl with that cheery, sunny, radiant, dimpled smile, leaves her interest in Roots to Blanche Patchet. 25. Elizabeth Adell leaves her books, pencils, tablets, erasers, to her brother Benjamin for future use. 26. Homer Abbott leaves some of his abundant knowledge along scientific and agricultural lines to Francis Carroll. Homer seems to un- derstand the care of Rice perfectly and that will probably be his future occupation. Lastly, we do hereby appoint our Principal executor of this, our last Will and Testament, at the same time revoking all former wills. Dated and sealed June twenty-fifth, nineteen hundred and twenty- four. GRADUATING CLASS OF 1924. Midred Kratzer. CLASS PROPHECY Maynard Hencle, president of the Clas3 of ’24, according to the fates, will In the near future be obliged to Interview two people in regard to be- coming sole proprietor of the West Genesee Street Mills. It will be very difficult to do, but using his dauntless courage, he will succeed. After completing her term of office as vice president, Mary Sinnett will go to Syracuse University where she will take a course In Flue “Arts.” On finishing that course, she will go abroad where she will study the ways and means of Art. Tiring of Baldwinsville and Its brilliant “Spenglers” and its dazzling “Dots ' Harold Green will go to New York City where he will become one of the most brilliant Stage-door Johnnies in history. Anna Hurley will realize her ambition to become the second Sarah Bernhardt. Her most important role will be that of “Teddy Beara’ ’in that noted opera, “Sears Roebuck.” Frances Mawhinniey is destined to succeed Miss Wcrmuth as History teacher in good old B. H. S. James Gifford will scon lose that air of happiness which in the days of B. H. S. characterized him and he will take on a terribly woebegone look. This will be caused by his being seriously in love with two beau- tiful young ladies. Wish him luck; he will need it. Recalling the days at B. H. S. and the good times there, Frances Virginia is going to become an author. The book which will secure her fame Is from true facts and is called “The Conquest of McCarthy's Heart. With his ability to manage. Van Cce should either go into politics or sports. However, on account of his failures in shaping (Chapin) people's lives, he will decide to lead a Gaylord's life. Helen Gates has set her heart on feeding the world. Therefore, she is going to start a restaurant in Syracuse. Probably working out that old adage “The way to a man’s heart is through his stomach. Things lock rather dark for Homer Abbott. He is going to lose his interest in the Rise business. Walt! Here is something else. He will re- tire as an Abbott on the return of the Rice business to its former status. Soon afterward Rice will also become an Abbott. Genevieve McCarthy will adopt the mein and life of a poet, writing plays for her inseparable companion. Anna Hurley. Witness “Sears Roe- buck,” a product of be: pen. Alexander Read—Why. he is to become the proprietor of a bird store; specializing, as was his wont in High School, in poilies (Polly Gar- After her many attempts in tho past to get a man (Getman), Edith King on account of her inability to find things well done (Welden). will be rather downhearted. But. remembering that she is a King and a 10 royal prize, she will decide Mr. Steven’s son (Stevenson) is the only one worthy of her. Another dark future! Marian House has been faithful to one in the past and, therefore, does not know what is for her. But between ‘ Houses” and ‘‘Hoyts,” she will become the “House of Hoyt.” Sherman Gilmore, that wonder of the drawing classes, is going to exercise that ability to draw. His name will become to the studios and drawing-rooms of the larger cities of America what “See Sager” is to the merchants of Baldwinsville; a Hall-mark of golden distinction. As you will notice from her work on “The Last Will and Testament,” Mildred Kratzer has an ability for lawyer’s work. Using this ability she will become the greatst lawyer in New York. Ahah! I see a trip for Dorothy Guess. To use her knowledge of Spanish she is going to go to Spain where she will marry a matador who will be able to “throw the bull as well as Dorothy can “sling the Spanish.” Thomas Reeder, noted in High School days as a slow motion actor, is destined to become a great scientist. His greatest invention will be a ma- chine which will relieve man from the necessity for any work, even that of thinking. (Thomas probably took himself as an example of mankind in inventing this.) Doris Barney—a senatoress” at Washington from New York: She is making a name for herself by fighting the limit of 70 pounds now placed on Parcel Post packages. She is trying to get the limit set at two hundred pounds. Void notre maitress de francais! (Here is our French teacher! True to the saying “Where there’s a will there’s a way,” Anna DeLyne will go through college and will realize her ambition to teach French at B. II. S. Because his heart has been hardened by a “King’s” refusal to accept his heart, Arthur Welden will go abroad to make historical researches. While there he will meet a student of Art and will become her example of the ways and means of Art. Helen Garrett will go abroad to study violin under the great masters. On her return to America, she will engage a Mr. Jones as her manager and, with his assistance, arrange a tour of America, thereby making Baldwins- ville proud of her. DeLaVergne Mills, treasurer of the Class of '24, has always been in- terested in chickens (not always feathered, however). He is going to buy a chicken farm where his heaviest work will come with May (Mae). Here is our most industrious young lady. Edna Wheaton. She is go- ing to realize that a person cannot make “Eddies” the source of one’s for- tune but that a “Miller'’ has plenty of “Jack.” A poetess—Harriett Kratzer! What a divine vocation! The most admired of her poems will be one which she will call “The Downcast Maiden's Lament,” a touching leap year poem, and another, a sequel to the first, “The Suitor’s Relief.’’ I am sure they will both be interesting. Elizabeth O’Dell—The fates seem undecided about her. They are uncertain as to whether to consign her to the life of a maiden lady such as one finds portrayed in the book “Lavender and Old Lace” or making her the wife of a certain sheik from Sorrell Hill. Things at present seem to favor the first course, so we’11 hope for the best. Last, but not by any means least, is Roswell Horner. Up to the present, his full and complete history is the owner of the most wonderful automobile in the town of Lysander. Not wishing to lay aside his love for cars, he will organize a company for making cars which will be ex- actly like that famous one he now owns. If the “Oldmotor” or “New- hody,” I do not know which it will be called, lives up to the reputation of its predecessor it will be one of the most rehabte cars on the market. Eventually he will manufacture trucks for his “Turpin -tine (turpentine) business. GEORGE D. LEWIS.

With the exception of cne defeat at the hands ot the champions, every game was a decisive vic- tory for 3. H. S. The team scored So points to 54 for its opponents. The Seniors had no small part in this record, furnishing three players who helped to make this large score possible. Losing very few men by gral- uation and being favored with the same coaching, the team of 1024 stands a fine chance to be champion of this section. Good luck to them F. D. MILLS. 12 BASKETBALL TEAM BASKETBALL, 1923-24 The season of 1923-24 was our first attempt at Basketball. We had two teams, a boys' and a girls’ team. The girls won the championship of the west section of the county, scoring 74 points to their opponent’s 22. They were beaten, however, by Fayetteville in the game for championship of the entire county. The greater number of the girls were from the low- er classes, only one being a Senior. While the boys won no championship, they did remarkably good work, winning eleven games and losing five, rolling up 499 points to their opponents’ 317. This included several Non-League games. Here the Sencrs made a better showing sending three of their boys to play. Altogether B'ville had a very successful season, in which no small part of the credit belongs to our new coach. Mr. Wesley Getman. Every- one is looking forward to a more glorious season next year. J. VAN B. COE. BASEBALL, 1924 The season of 1924 has been one of the most successful baseball sea- sons that B H. S. has seen for several years. Of the men who reported for practice, at the beginning of the season, only five or six were from last year's team. When the team went on the field for its first game with a new pitcher and a new catcher and only three of last year’s players in the “line up, w-© watched them with keen interest. It is sufficient to say we had reason to be proud of them. The team had a good coach, one who worked faithfully with the boys. Through the efforts of the coach and the manager the team was supplied with new equipment, purchased by the Athletic Association. This year, as before. Baldwinsville Academy joined the Onondaga County Baseball League, In which we were assigned to the Western Divis- ion. In this division were also Liverpool, Skaneateles. Solvay, Marcellus and Jordan. Besides the League games many non-league games have have been played. As this goes to press they have Just won the championship of rhis division. Considering the fart, that we had almost a new team and that condi- tions were unfavorable for baseball, the team has done very well. MARY SIXNETT.

EDITH KING. CLASS POEM Our school days at B. H. S. are ended. And tho' our lives drift Tar apart, Memories of good times shared together Will ’er held a place in our heart. There will come a time when our thoughts will drift Back to the good old days gone by; And we’ll cherish the learning and the loyal friends That we had at B'ville High. Oft' we thought 'twas tedious— To add. subtract, and divide; And bluff through dull recitations, When it looked so inviting outside On the Faculty, too, cur thoughts will dwell As we seek new places and nooks; For they taught us many important things— Which we never could learn from books. We've paid close heed to everyone s ways. And observed what the world calls lu .k; But we’ve silently marveled now and then. At the potent power of pluck. It seeius as if ’twere but yesterday. When, as strangers, we entered your door; Now. we leave thee, dear Alma Mater, A loyal Class of Twenty-Four. GEN.
