We shall let the pub- lic judge whether or not we have succeeded. We wish to thank the Board of Education for this beautiful build- ing with its fine auditorium and gymnasium, without which the fine orchestra and basketball teams, both of which have brought much credit to our school, would have been impossible. It is with heavy hearts and tear-dimmed eyes that we glance back over the pleasant days of the past. But with still heavier hearts that we come to a realization that our good times in this building have at last drawn to a close, and that we must bid farewell to members of the faculty and fellow students, all of whom we have loved and highly respected. Our class is the last one which has not had the benefit of the entire four years in this new building. In this issue of the “Lyre” we have tried to he humorous without intentionally hurting anyone's feelings. If we have offended anyone we stand ready at any time to make apologies. We leave our best wishes for all possible success of the future graduating classes. JOHN CLARK, Editor-In-Chief. THE SENIOR PLAY Lucile Weston is working her way through college; she longs to go to the college dances, but has no dress. She meets John Prince, who calls her his Cinderella Girl. Two of the girls have played a prank on the boys and are afraid of the police. Mary, who wants to help Lucile, gets her lover, Pat Quinn, to pretend he's u detective. The girls are scared and try to bribe him. Mary tells him to demand Isabel’s party dress as a bribe. She gives the dress to Lucile, who wears it to the dance. She loses her slippers and John helps her find them. Isabel recognizes her dress. Lucile confesses. John claims his Cinderella girl and all ends happily.

S. as Freshmen, it seemed to us that 1926, the year when we would be acknowledged leaders of the school would never come. But indeed, that time has come alto- gether too quickly and now that our high school days are at an end, wo begin to feel a certain sense of responsibility, knowing that our future success depends upon the course we follow from now on and the reputa- tion we make for ourselves. We are proud and filled with joy to know 'hat we have reached our goal, graduation; still, we regret that the good times we have had within the walls of B. H. S. are over. The merits of this class will, we hope, never be forgotten. Members of this class have brought much honor to themselves and to the whole school. We have the honor of being also the largest, class that has yet graduated from B. H. S. and in our own opinion, we are the best. Our motto, Crescat Scientia (May knowledge increase) will always be with us. THE CLASS OF 1927 This is the first class that can boast of having spent all four years of high school in this beautiful new building. Having had the training af- forded by the Junior High School, they will doubtless be a class of which wfe may be proud. We wish them luck. SOPHOMORES This is the largest class of our present Senior High School. There is a large amount of intelligence and talent in this class and we are sure that they will be worthy graduates after they have received the training we have had. Good luck to them! E.

CLASS HISTORY Three years ago last September, fifty-six students instructed by Miss Rindge and Prof. Baker began their high school career in the old Acad- emy building. The long summer vacation had been spent in anxious waiting and we entered the hall of knowledge, bewildered by the numer- ous “do's” and “dont’s,” and in great awe of Mr. Elden. the Faculty, and those superior upper classmen. Even a3 Freshmen, we were recognized as an illustrious class, for the boys were soon given that coveted honor of rolling the baseball diamond. Not to be slighted the girls were invited to join the Glee Club, and a goodly number were asked to join the special chorus. One of our members won the County Prize Speaking Contest, fur- ther proving that our class had genuine talent. We were well repre- sented In baseball and football and one of our members was elected to the Athletic Council. In June came the dreaded Regents where we lost a few of our num- bers. However, most of our members withstood the test and returned the next year, Sophomores. This year was our first in the new building, where we had such a fine gymnasium that a girl’s and boy’s basketball team were organized, the Sophomore class being well represented on each. Our class, as it has been mentioned before was one of great ability, and the Sophomore honor rolls for that year will never be forgotten. The success of the High School Minstrel Show put on that year, was in large part due to the efforts of various Sophomores. As before, we furnished several members of the baseball and foot- ball teams, and two of our classmates carried off first honors in the Bige- low Prize Speaking Contest. 4 Regents again! This time many were lost, and we returned with our numbers greatly diminished. As Juniors we found ourselves under the supervision of Miss Marks, Miss Tanner having decided in the meantime that two could live as cheaply as one. Miss Marks, however, too soon proved herself equal to this responsibility. The assistant football manager was one of our members, while many of our members played on the team. We furnished a speaker for the Athletic Banquet that year, and two of the speakers at the Junior-Senior Banquet were members of our class. During the second semester the vice-president of the Athletic Coun- cil was one of our representatives. In June we were again inflicted with Regents and at length, in Sep- tember, we returned, the recognized leaders of the school. During the football season we furnished the team with some of its star players. In February we organized our class and Senior activies began with a sleighridc where everybody had a delightful time. Then in April came the Junior-Senior Banquet, where the president of the Senior class acted as toastmaster. Early in May the Seniors gave a dance, which went into the history of Baldwinsville Academy as the most successful of its kind. Again one of our members carried off first prize in the Bigelow Prize Speaking contest and again we gave our best players to the base- ball team. During the month of June we have enjoyed many good times and we are here tonight, happy to have reached the desired goal, yet sorry to leave B. H. S. MARION KITTELL.

I am about to read this our last will and testament and distribute these gifts which we have so generously bestowed.

CLASS FEQPHECY OF 1926 A fewr days ago while I was trying to solve this prophecy I chanced to be in the cloak hall of Miss Pike’s room. Mr. Eklen had called a meeting of the Faculty iu there and just as I was about to leave 1 heard the teachers start talking about our Graduating Class. I heard Miss Mendenhall say: Ah, you mean Edna Catharine Moyer! Yes, isn’t she tiny though? I understand she wants to be a librarian in the public library of Syracuse. I noticed the last time I was up there they already had an elevated stool. Then the other teachers began to talk and though I couldn’t always distinguish the voices I did hear the following conversation and as teachers are alw'ays supposed to know, I decided to use it as my prophecy. Oh, yes,” one voice’said. It did take Alex Jones a long time to get up to the Garrett but he seems to remain there pretty well.” 12 “From all reports if the price of coal (Cole) keeps going up I’m afraid Jack Eggleston will have to give up his college career and solve his financial difficulties.” “Louise VanDenburg is going to go on with her music and wend her way into the opera where she may meet the prince of her dreams some day.” “Sanford Weeks intends to become a great orator and who knows hut what someday he will be teaching one of his famous speeches along with ‘Lincoln’s Gettysburg Address’.” Then Mrs. Prudhon remarked: “I hear Stella Brauesick and Ger- trude Maloney having been assured by Miss Mills of their capability in- tend to establish a 'Modiste Shop’.” “Oh yes,” Miss Mendenshall said. “And Luella McQuaid and iBabelle Bochino are going to be chief man- nikins.” “I wonder if Edith Spengler really has given up her music, for a position as sales lady for Bulck coaches. I see her driving one frequently.” , “I believe Mrs. Shaft Is to take as her daughter-in-law In Septem- ber Miss Ruth Osborn. It isn’t necessary to mention Lester — he’s understood.” 'T hear there is going to be a new store in town. Thomas Comer- ford and Shorty Beers are going in partnership with antiques as their specialty.” “Wilhma Taylor intends to start a beauty parlor. John Clark probably will be a steady customer. Perhaps that’s where Kenneth Tice will get his cute little wTaves from now on.” “Mr. Ward of Ward’s Bakery, intends to branch out and put Elma DeLyne in charge of one Bakery where she will soon take up her new new position as bread thrower and cake slinger.” Miss Wormuth said: ‘T wonder if Margaret Smallwood planned her career between classes. She’s always busy talking over something.” Miss Pike replied: Why her career is planned already—on a farm of Sweet William. Sweet William always did attract Margaret.” “Dot Plunkett on account of her ready wit and humor will become a fine saleslady.” “You know I never thought Marian Kittell wras especially short but the other day I heard some one call her ‘Shorty!’ ” “I hear Evelyn Thompson is going to establish a school for young ladies (over twenty-five, of course). I certainly don’t think she’ll head the list.” Herbert Klein, our great political worker in B. H. S. is going to Washington next year to see what he can do toward the nullification of the 18th amendment.” “Donald Decker and Ted Vader intend to become men of color. They intend to wear blue suits with brass buttons in New York City and gradually work their way up as detectives.” “Katharine Coe on account of her love for washing dishes, intends to start a minute lunch room where Pete Montague can spend hia leisure hours ‘kneading the dough’.” i3 “I expect we will some day see Broadway all lit up with Eleanor Markham’s name, ' Miss Laurence remarked. To which Mrs. For sell said, “Oh, I suppose Gladys Bunyea will be friend and helper until they are all in the family.” “Did you ever notice how Madora Plalsted flushes when you men- tion Fellows to her? Of course she thinks of just one Fellows, and all the Kiris have her dreams more or less.” “Charles Klotz will probably some day he compared with our silent presidents. He seems to be starting as they pay Cal. did.” “Isn’t it nice when two people so well suited to each other as Ruth Colling and Lloyd Southard pal around together? I hear Ruth is going to have the farm.” Miss Laurence remarked decisively: “Charles Hebblethwaite in- tends to become u great professor of mathematics,” hut Miss Mendenhall broke in with “Oh, I think he’s much better suited to follow Stephen Leacock’s footsteps.” “I never could quite understand why Ethelwyn Smith took so much interest in my history class when we were studying the Province of Alberta. Perhaps she’s thinking of living there. X often hear her speak the name.” “I believe Mary Agnes Farley is going to be a preceptress of Vassar College.” “Helen Brown brought In another theme for me to correct the other day. This one was on Banks. If she always has Harvey for her inspira- tion she’ll make quite a literary genius.” But just then Mr. Elden came in and as I slipped out he called the meeting to order. ADRIA R. GAYLORD. ATHLETIC ASSOCIATION, 1925 At the beginning of the year the Seniors signed for membership one hundred per cent.

JOHN CLARK. FOOTBALL During the 1025 season Baldwinsvllle Academy was represented by a team of veterans. A uniformed practice squad of thirty-three was maintained throughout the seuson, while twenty-two men, or two teams composed the regular traveling squad. The first team was as husky a bunch of warriors as has ever been produced by the Academy. They worked well together as a team and had a remarkably consistent fighting spirit. Of the eight games played five were won and three were lost. The three games lost were lost to good teams- to Herkimer, champions of Mohawk Valley; Cortland, champions of the Southern tier, and East Syracuse, champions of Onondaga County. The second and third teams deserve much credit for their patience and hard work, for without them the first team would have meant very little. A great amount of praise and respect is due Couch Get no cm, who never lost confidence in the team and not only taught each individual player how best to play his position, but also taught the team as a whole many trick plays and shifts, all of which were worked with a marked degree of success. Harry Garrett, former Vocational football captain, helped a great deal as line coach. The teum will lose six men from the line and two from the backfield. However, there is plenty of good material to till their places, as the subs played in the majority of the games. Charles Klotz, left end, one of the smallest men on the team, was found in every play. Ring Carroll—left tackle playing hi3 fourth year, knew how to play where the play was. Robert Shea—a mas3 of strength, held down the right guard berth. When they came through right guard they stopped. Sloan Smith—the crack center, fought from whistle to whistle. Horwood Jones husky warrior, proved without a doubt his ability a3 a right guard and punter in every game. 15 THE FACULTY L 9 i$tw 3 6EARN TO CONCENTRATE AMD TO UMIT A Kind HE RT is MORE THAN A CROliW TO Know HER 15 TO LOVE HER SWF Oobsm't chew HER CABBAGE Tu i T 0f U -TAT LOR Ted Vader—husky Georgian and hard as nails stood over his opponent in every contest.

Everett Thompson—half back smashed off tackle time and again when a yard or two was needed on the last down. Truman Smith—blonde-haired full-back, a mountain of strength, on many occasions skirted the ends for long gains. Captain Alex Jones and Pierre Montague were selected as first team All-Scholastic players while Marshall Stevenson and Sloan Smith were chosen on the All-Scholastic second team.

The Championship game was a hotly contested battle from start to finish. The Academy team upheld their sportsman-like spirit playing cleanly and scientifically throughout. The game ended Baldwinsville 8, Fayetteville 8. Because of the tie score it was necessary for each mem- ber on each team to throw' one foul. Fayetteville made two fouls and the game ended Fayetteville 10. Baldwinsville 8. The teams were equal on all around playing and just a little hard luck on foul shooting lost the game. 16 About fifty girls responded to the first call for practice and Coach Getman had no easy task in selecting the regular squad and from the squad another task of selecting the first team. The team was composed of new as well as old players. Esther Clark, return right guard was chosen by her team mates, as Captain and proved to fill that position 100 per cent. It was the best team to represent the Academy in the three years it has had a team. BLOCK LETTERS Third Year—Esther Clark, Blanch Welden. Second Year—Bernice Loveless.

Coach Getman had a team of returns to deal with and much time was spent on plays, which were worked very well and helped a great deal in running up the large scores the team did in the majority of the games. Pete Montague was elected Captain by his team mates and did exceedingly well, knowing every stage of the game. The team is to be congratulated on its good work.

The team carried a clean slate, coming through the season unde- feated. One by one the teams fell before the masterful ball of Marshall 8tevenson. No game was in doubt until the Championship game, but by the sixth Inning the team came through and eased the minds of all. Steven- son gained twelve strike outs while Chandler, North Syracuse ace, mowed down five batters. Coach Getman has at last realized his dream of a championship team, and as many of the players will return next year, the Championship Bhould be repeated. The pitching of Stevenson and the batting of the whole team w'as the whole Btory of the team’s victories. The team was supported by a large number of students and towns- people at every home game and also at out-of-town games. All the players were experienced, if not on this High School team, on some other organized team. Every sport lover in town is proud of the team for its record in games and sportsmanship. They are long to be remembered. 18 BASEBALL BLOCK LETTERS Four Years (Gold Baseball)) Marshall Stevenson. Third Year—Pierre Montague. Second Year—Walter Doran, Nickie Conci, Edward Berrey.

Major Sport Teams of Baldwins- POUR LETTER MEN Football, Baseball, Basketball, Track. Marshall Stevenson, Theodore Vader, Alexander Jones, Pierre Montague. THE ATHLETIC PROGRAM The athletic program of 1925-26 has been more extensive than in any other year. The school has been represented by teams in football, bas- ketball (both boys and girls), and baseball. The County League did not sponsor a track meet this spring, so that no attempt was made to develop a track team and no opportunity given to defend the track title won last year. The teams have, as in former years, competed in the County League. In football Baldwlnsville placed second, suffering only one defeat. Four contests with non-league teams were played. Phoenix and Onon- daga Valley were defeated and Cortland and Herkimer were victorious against us. The team’s work against Herkimer and Cortland was no doubt the most outstanding of the year. Herkimer, a sectional cham- pion, and Cortland adjudged the best H. S. team in the state, won hard- earned victories in which the margin of difference between the teams was but slight. The boys’ basketball team finished second in the West Section of the County League. Besides the League games the team played almost as many non-league games in which it was fairly successful. The Girls' basketball team after a poor start, made a splendid up- bill fight to win for the third consecutive year the Championship of the West Section. In the play-off they emerged second best in a game in which an overtime foul shooting contest was needed to determine the victor. 19 The baseball season just finished is still fresh in the minds of the Baldwinsville fans. The team won six straight victories to win the championship of the West Section, the la3t of which was the over- whelming defeat of Solvay at Solvay. In the Championship game with North Syracuse, undefeated East Section winners, B. H. S. won its sev- enth straight victory and the county title. The percentage of games won in all sports throughout the school year is high and one of which we can be proud. The prospects for next year are not especially bright. In football nine of eleven regulars will be gone. In boys’ basketball three of five will be gone. In baseball Marshall Stevenson, Pierre Montague and Kenneth Tice will leave an immense hole in the team. The girls’ bas- ketball team is the one bright spot in the future, for not only the team, but most of the squad will be back next year. With a continuation of the interest and competitive spirit displayed in the building of teams, I felt that no matter how poor the prospects may seem, B. H. S. will have a team worthy to represent it in every sport when the time for the opening game comes around. W. A. GETMAN, .. Director of Athletics. GLEE CLUB The Glee Club for the year 1 925-1926 has enjoyed a very successful fear. At our first meeting the following officers were chosen: Presi- dent, Blanche Weldon: Vice-President, Charlotte Heaton: Secretary and Treasurer. Blanche Patchett. Our initiation party was held in the gymnasium on November 23, 1925. The refreshments were prepared in the Domestic Science room and served in the library. The new members, as usual, were forced to lose their dignity and to make themselves ridiculous by such stunts as rolling in barrels, and bands tied behind their backs, eating juicy berry pie from the floor. In December the long steady pull of preparing for the minstrels be- gan and was finished with the “best ever” on February 25th and 26th. The club made enough to purchase a flute, trombone and new music for the orchestra whose members are honorary members of the Glee Club. We also presented the Parent-Teachers with $150. The Parent-Teachers’ Association showed its appreciation by giving a party to the club and members of the orchestra. Every one enjoyed them- selves immensely. Members of the club have sung at Parent-Teachers, assembly, prize speaking contest; also on several other occasions. Our orchestra has become popular and well-known. It has been called into service by the Parent-Teachers Association, Masons, American Legion, Prize Speaking contests as well as providing the main means of keeping the students or- derly while entering assembly every Tuesday morning. 20 One of the Club’s members won first prize at the local and county prize speaking contests. Members of our club sang at the local contest and also the circle at the time of the minstrels was comprised wholly of the girls from the special chorus. Because of the fact that Miss Elizabeth Roth, assisted by Miss Bridge, has been our instructor, the Glee Club has had a most profitable year. We wish to thank them both for their interest and assistance. We who are about to graduate will feel the loss of such an organization in our lives but we sincerely hope that the coming year will be as great a success if not greater than the past years. RUTH OSBORN. PUBLIC SPEAKING During the year 1925-26 Baldwinsville Academy continued its inter- est in various forms of public speaking and won several victories in in- terscholastic contests. At assemblies and at public school entertainments various students took parts which did much toward the enjoyment of the audiences and gave the participants valuable training for future public appearances. Being challenged by Jordan High School to debate the question: Resolved, That Capital Punishment Should Be Abolished, a team was prepared to uphold the negative side of the subject. On March 12th the Jordan team came to Baldwinsville and an interesting debate was held. Baldwlnsville’s speakers were Helen Brown, Marie DeSerio. Sanford Weeks and Virginia Conklin. Their arguments and method of presen- tation were so strong that the judges gave a unanimous decision for the negative. The Bigelow Prize contest was held April 30th with five girls and five boys taking part. Sanford Weeks, speaking “Spartacus Address to the Gladiators, ’ was given first place with Sydney Cooper second and Richard Sears third. As Sanford Weeks had already been a winner in the contest, he was not eligible for the Bigelow prize, his reward being the honor of representing the school in the County Contest, while the Bigelow- prizes went to the boys placed second and third. For the girls, Ellen W’ilkinson was awarded first place, her selection being “Ole Mistis,” while Virginia Conklin was second and Evelyn Baker third. Virginia Conklin was a previous first prize winner and therefore ineligible, the second prize going to Evelyn Baker. The Western Section League Championship was won by Ellen Wil- kinson, competing at Warners against five other high school representa- tives in the sectional contest held May 7th. This brings another cham- pionship cup to Baldwinsville. Sanford Weeks was a close contender for first place at Solvay in the League contest for boys held May 14th. He was aw-arded second honors, the first prize going to Solvay's representa- tive. The American Legion conducted an essay and declamation contest during the latter part of the year, each student of the high school writing an essay on the general subject of the American Legion. The four essays judged to bo the best were delivered at a public meeting held in 21 the Auditorium on May 21st. Nick! Cenci was awarded the first prize of $10 and Marie DeSerio the second prize of $5. The others having the honor of competing were Sanford Weeks and Norman Dristle. Altogether the year’s work in public speaking has been successful and very creditable to the school and those who took part in the various programs. H. E. ELDEN, Principal.

The Banquet began at 6:30 o’clock with an excellent supper served by the ladies of the Baptist church. During the meal balloons kept the entire 220 people busy. After the supper, the speaking began, with, of course, Mr. D. Charles O'Brien once more acting in his now annual role of toastmaster. Be- sides Mr. O’Brien, we heard from Dr. Kratzer, representing the School Board, Mr. Elden and Mr. Getman, representing the faculty; Neil Adsit representing the Alumni and Helen Brown, representing the student body. Joke after joke was “pulled off” by the speakers, slam after slam made, and, in short, those present enjoyed some brilliant speaking. After this, Mr. Elden presented block letters to the football and baseball players and made a short speech congratulating them. This concluded the dinner program, but then everyone rushed up stairs and danced to the enchanting melodies furnished by the Red Rock Pirates. The hall was beautifully decorated in crimson and white, making it a charming place in which to dance. Taking all in all the crowd of over 200 that attended unanimously agreed that no better banquet was ever held. THE JUNIOR-SENIOR BANQUET The Junior-Senior Banquet was held in the Library, March 19th. A fine supper was furnished by the girls present and served by mem- bers of the Cooking Class. The speaking program was well arranged, Sanford Weeks, as president of the Senior Class, acting as toastmaster. Mr. Elden, Mr. Getman, Miss Mendenhall, NIcki Cenci, Helen Brown and Margaret Smallwood speaking. When this was over everyone adjourned to the gymnasium where music for dancing was furnished. At midnight the party of over eighty Juniors, Seniors and friends broke up, content with one night’s engagement. SANFORD WEEKS. CLASS POEM When the Class of ’26 has left the halls of B. II. S. When all those happy times have passed away; When their places have been taken by another Senior Class ho will try to mix the honors of the day. Let us hope that all the memories will not depart as well, That some deeds and words will linger after still for our hopes have been the highest whether we arose or fell, For the secret of success is “might and will.” 24 For four years we’ve labored; we have done our very beat; We’ve been faithful to our Alma Mater’s name; We have tried to leave a record that will weather every test, That will prove that we've been true to our high aim. But perhaps our progress faltered on the long and dreary way. And perhaps we haven’t done all that we should, But at least we all can say, when the time shall come some day, We have tried to do the very best we could.” So farewell to dear old school days and farewell to B. H. S Farewell to teachers, class-room, every friend, Though the years and paths may part us as we jouruey on thro life We’ll remember each and all until the end. When in future years we meet again our former comrades gay And compare our bad attempts with what is good; It is then we all can say, when that time has come some day “We have tried to do the very best we could.” MARGARET SMALLWOOD. ’26. JOKES ‘T lead a swell life,” said the sponge in the bathtub. E. Smith; “I heard Jack is wearing glasses now'; do they improve his looks?” Ella: “Oh yes, about fifty feet.’’ E. Moyer: “Now what are you stopping for?” A. Jones: “I've lost my bearings.” E. Moyer: That’s original, most boys run out of gas.” K. Tice: How do you know this is not wood alcohol?” J. Eggleston: I strained it through my handkerchief and it didn’t leave uny shavings.” H. Brown: Did you give him any satisfaction when he asked you for a kiss?” M. Plaisted: “Well—I hope so.” B. Clark: You've made a monkey out of me.” M. Smallwood: Oh, don’t blame me for nature’s little jokes.” Conductor: “I've been on this train for seven years. W. Taylor: That so! Where did you get on?” D. Decker: My girl calls me maple syrup now.” R. Osborn: Well, what else could she call a refined sap?” 25 Pretty One (soliciting): “Please help the Working Girls' Home. P. Montague: “I’d be glad to. How far away do you live? A. DeLyne: “My sister had an awful fright last night. S. Weeks: “How was that? A. DeLyne: “A big, black spider ran up her arm.” S. Weeks: “That’s nothing; I’ve had a sewing machine run up ttfe seam of my pants.” G. Maloney: “Do you think a girl should learn to love before twenty?” M. Kittle: “Nope, too large an audience. Miss Wormuth: “IIow did you stand the sea voyage? K. Tice: “Oh, I managed to hold my own. Teacher: “This hat will represent Mars. Is there any question before I go on?” J. Eggleston: “Oh, yes; is mars inhabited?” Miss Wormuth: “In the early days what was the effect of Toll Bridges upon the people of the country? K. Tice: “Well—er—I think most of them learned to swim.” A drink of the average bootleg hootch will produce the same sensa- tion as kissing a spark plug when the motor is running. J. Eggleston: “My shoes are tight.” A. Jones: “Stop rubbing your feet with alcohol. Miss Mendenhall: “What do you think is main thing in school life?” P. Montague: “The Professor. C. Klotz: “Do you know what people think when they cross the ocean?” C. Ilebblethwaite: “Sure, how much water is going to waste. C. Klotz: “Oh no; how much food. Edith: “Do you like life savers? Adria: “What kind; peppermint, or hairy chested ones? S. Weeks: “Would you care to dance this one? K. Coe: “Certainly, will you please ask someone for me? John Clark: “Horrors! my suit is ripping! D. Decker: “Yes. so its seams. Bank Cashier: “Have you any way of indetifying yourself? E. Markham: “Oh yes. I have a vaccination mark on my left leg. 26 T. Comerford: “Your coughing more easily this morning.” C. Heaton: “Yes, I practiced a lot last night.” Dumb: “Do you know what a good share of the college boys look like to me?” Dumber: “Sure, like the answer to a squirrel’s prayer.” Mike (while flying over California in an airplane): Say Pat what would you do if the motor in the blamed thing should stop?” Pat (also in airplane): “Well Mike I believe I’d begin to sing, “California Here I Come.” Adrian: “He kissed you when you weren’t looking, and what did you do?” Edith: “Well I didn’t look at him for the rest of the evening.” One thing that Burbank did not do: Cross Carrier Pigeons with Parrots, so when they get lost they could find their way home. Prof. Elden (stepping into elevator): Seventh floor, please.” Elevator Boy: “There you are son, seventh floor.” Prof. Elden: “What do you mean by calling me son?” Elevator Boy: “Well I raised you. didn’t I?” Joke department of Senior Class, Station B.

We stand to-night upon that height, And glimpse the longer road ahead. Here at the peak—a parting of the ways; Comrades try in vain to say farewell. For mem'ries of the journey crowding come Before the words they cannot tell. Farewell? To our companions, our guides? Farewell to B’ville High? No. never, while in gratitude to thee Thy parting gifts will tie. A gift of crimson fire to burn Before us on our eager way; A banner white that through the night Will point us to the coming day. 27 HELEN BROWN.
