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

THE CLASS OF 1926 In September, 1922, when we entered B. H. 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.

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.
