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

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
