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. JR. il

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.

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
