On Saturday, March 31, the ladies of the Episcopal Church served us a very fine dinner. Mr Getman. our Faculty Advisor, acted as our toastmaster. In him we discovered a very witty and pleasing after-dinner speaker. Other speakers and speeches were: Slams on Juniors .......................................

Mrs. Forsell After being “slammed around, the party adjourned to the school where music was furnished for dancing and where card tables had been set up for cards. This party was a success in more ways than one. for it added a small amount to our treasury. SENIOR DANCE May 18 the committee in charge, engaged the Town Hall for this very momentous event. Although it rained very hard that evening, about fifty-four couples were present. The hall was decorated very beautifully in crimson and white. Les Purdy’s Orchestra furnished very inspiring music until twelve o'clock when the party wras over. This night, also, the Boys’ County Speaking Contest was held. As soon as Mr. and Mrs Elden arrived at the Town Hall from the contest to lead the Grand March, all of us received hats and noise-makers. This party was. to say the least, a great success with its pretty decorations, good orchestra, favors and delicious punch. SENIOR PLAY “It Pays to Advertise.” Rodney Martin, son of a rich soap manufacturer, decides to go into the soap business himself and break down the trusts. With the aid of Miss Grayson, his father s scheming secretary, and Ambrose Peale. Rodney puts on an expensive and sensational advertising campaign. Of the many difficulties which arise during the play one is very important. Miss Grayson betrays her “boss and marries Rodney. With her excellent co- operation. Rodney persuades his father to hack the famous “13 soap company. THE CAST IN ORDER OF THEIR APPEARANCE Miss Grayson ....... Johnson ............ Comtesse de Beaurien Rodney Martin ......

Business School GLADYS ELLIS FREMONT BROOKS EDITORIAL Education Both poles have been visited, the blank, unexplored regions are fast disappearing, the oceans are daily down as well as sailed, yet, still around each of us and within a moment's reach is a land of romance, mystery, and challenge. Education is the white winged ship which carries us to this magic land of glorious achievement. A great part of learning is the acquisition of formulas. These may be mathematical or chemical; but formulas extend in a more or less dis- 6 Kuised form through all life in the guise of rules, prescriptions, definitions, models, and many other standards. Before the Rennaissance, education, or these formulas, was so limited that it was possible for a single bruin to know every formula then in existence. When the scientists, the authors, the great artists, came—the division and the repeated subdivision in the field of knowledge became so great that no one person could hope to mas- ter the entire body of facts. Even now the scientists, the literary critic, the sociologist, each is provided with his own peculiar dialect, unintel- ligible to all others. Accordingly our conversation has become rather restricted to the limited field of weather, politics, athletics, or some other comparatively commonplace subject. Based on these facts, the conclusion is threefold: first that education is necessary to lit us for successful practice in our various callings; second, that education is necessary to provide our lives with more intelligent and varied avocations; and third that educa- tion is necessary to make us more helpful in our relations to the commun- ity at large. EOITOR-IN-CHIEF. 1H2K CLASS HISTOKV In this hour the Class of 1928 experiences a feeling of both joy and •sorrow. A jo ous feeling because, as we gaze backward through the four jcars. which are now history, we realize, that we have gained much. We have been instu ted by faithful and loyal teachers, to whom we owe more than we may be able to express in mere words. We experience sorrow because we realize that with the close of high school days many friendships must be terminated and new' responsibilities assumed. We do not propose that this shall be the end, rather it must be the beginning. For four years we have been striving to reach this goal. It was on a rainy day in the month of September. 1924. that we entered the large corridors of Bald wins ville High School as Freshmen. A few' of ns who had never walked the halls before wandered up and down the corridors of each floor, endeavoring to locate a room by the number 206. We had been told that here we were to experience our first year of high school with Miss Rindge as our academic leader. Finally we found our room and there we drafted om first and now historic schedules. Of course we endeavored to appear in the proper classroom at the appointed time. The first day we made many errors, but soon we had profited by experience and had become accustomed to the methods of high school. Many of us joined the Athletic Association and we were allowed to elect Olive Brown as our representative on the Athletic Council. Next we were tested in song by Miss Roth. Then after a unique and auspicious initiation, several of the girls were permitted to join the Glee Club. Soon the orchestra was formed and several of our class were chosen to become members of this. As the boys very soon became interested in football, one member of cur class played on the team. With the arrival of winter came basket ball for both boys and girls. Then in the spring baseball was the real sport Our 1)0.'s had the honor ot rolling the diamond. This rolling, according to tradition, was their privilege. But there were other activities besides athletics. Some of our num- bers were in the annual minstrel show which is the principal event of the school, and the Bigelow Prize Speaking Contest, which is held every year One of o r girls, talented Ruth Weeks captured second prize. Thus our Freshmen year came to an end. The first summer vacation is long to be remembered; but we were happy to be back, for now' we were Sophomores and the largest class of the high school. . , . , , ... We again joined the Athletic Association and had the honor of having the cheer leader. Olive Brown, and the manager of the baseball team. Harwood Jones selected trom our group. We cannot pass over this year without noting that our baseball team was the champion of the county. Ot course, we believe that the championship was due to the exceptionally good work of our boys. 7 In the annual Bigelow Prize Speaking Contest the girls of the other classes had to how to a girl from our class, for Ellen Wilkinson carried off the laurels and as representative of our school in the West Section League likewise took first place. After the beloved June tests, the follow- ing year proclaimed us Juniors. A few of our number were left behind and we in turn welcomed some new members who preferred our class to the one ahead At this time we realized that half of our high school career had passed. We were a little more prominent in school activities and were granted a few more privileges. We were now permitted to have two representatives on the Athletic Council. With the opening of the season for football several members of our class made the team which won for our school with the county champion- ship. By this time Miss Roth realized the talent which existed among the hoys of the school and organized a mixed chorus ut once, which proved to be very successful. While speaking of music it might be worth while to mention the fact that we had an orchestra of unusual merit During the winter months the basket hall teams were ver successful. The girls’ team won the county championship. Three out of live of the members on the hoys’ team were from our class. In the Lincoln essay contest the prize was captured hv a member of our class. In the spring came baseball and prize speaking. Several of our boys secured plans on the team. Betty Miller from our class, proved her talent by taking the county speaking prize. Now. as Juniors, we were invited to join that august body known as Seniors for the purpose of participating in a social function to he held in the auditorium where both the classes were highly complimented. Ellen Wilkinson was champion “slam slinger” from our group. We then assembled in the library and gymnasium where games and dancing were enjoyed by all present. I ike every other year since the time of Socrates of old. we concluded our Junior academic aspirations by participating in annual regents delights. We were ail anxious to succeed, so that we might return as seniors. Most of ns did succeed. So we entered 107 under the careful dis- cipline of Mrs McNicce, who immediately advised us of the traditions of the former class and attempted to teach us the customs we must now follow. Now we found that as Seniors we were granted the maximum of privileges. The membership of the Senior Class in the Athletic Association was 100%. In the Athletic Council both the president and the vice-president were 28's and in the second term the president and the secretary were from our class. In football the manager and cuptain were both chosen from our class as well as the managers for basket ball and baseball. Again we proved to be the best essayists as Malcolm Reed won first prize in the Lincoln Essay Contest for 192 8. The Glee Club was certainly prominent this year. In the course of events we migrated to distant parts: among other famous centers we visited Syracuse, not of Sicily, but of New York, from which metropolis we broadcasted from the Clark Music studio through WSYR. Tempus fugit, the year rolled around and our last tests would tell the Me. D-r lass w � s then organized: S'dney Cooper was honored with the presidency. We had many tasks facing us, such as selecting our rings. f lnK,s � ■ otir and flower. These tasks were undertaken most joyfully. Then too. like other classes, we felt the need of financial aid. so we ar- ranged lor a movie benefit. At the athletic banquet Betty Miller represented our class as well as the student body. According to custom, we asked the Juniors to join with us for a ban- quet. which was held at the Parish House. At the feast jokes and slams were given by Ruth Carroll. Kirby Vosburg and Marian Connell. Speeches were made b students and teachers. After a very appetizing dinner, we 8 assembled in the library and in the gymnasium, where we participated in games and dancing. Everyone enjoyed himself. The Senior ball directed by a capable committee, was held at the Town Hall This was the best evening of the year. The Senior (.’lass has enjoyed many other pleasant social gatherings during this memorable month of June. JEANETTK CLUTE. CLASS PROPHECY This is the year 1940. I have become the president oT a famous air- craft corporation and am cruising about the world in my plane with Rich- ard Blann as my pilot. I decided to look up my classmates in the Class of ’2 8 at Baldwinsville Academy. This is what I found. John and Walter Bellows have converted their father’s farm into a used car establishment. Several hundred of the relics are piled around the place. While looking around at the cars, I found Walter tinkering with the “Star' of his high school days, still trying to find out what makes the wheels go around. Jane Matson and Brewster Paine have cast their lot together and are now misisonaries in the tropocial islands, attempting to convert the natives. William Crago, a great athlete, is now succeeding Ty Cobb as one of the best, fly catchers in the American League. George Youngs has become a well-known comic strip artist and has succeeded the famous “Briggs” in writing “Old Gold Advertisements.” Jake sincerely believes that there is “not a cough in a carload.” Thelma Surbrook is accompanying Merle Loveless to Rochester every week to take vocal lessons. In a short time she expects to tour Europe and give the folks over there the treat we enjoyed during our high school days. Lyman Abbot was reluctant to leave old B. H. S. and lias returned as an assistant to Mrs. Griffith He may be found any day up in 208 follow- ing her around the room and assisting in the instruction us he used to do in his undergraduate days. Louise Eggleston has become a nurse and at the present time is caring for Donald Van Wle. who has developed pneumonia from failure to get under cover when it rained. Louise Fuess. the noisest student of the class of ’28. is now a famous radio announcer. Her most famous work was the broadcasting of the Army-Navy football game. Sydney Cooper and Joseph Turkowski. partners In high school days, are now running a chain of billiard academies. Ruth Weeks now holds a position as grocery clerk in Oriskany Falls. Olive Brown and Marian Connell, the mainstays of Miss Roth's orches- tra, are trumpeters in the Redpath Chautauqua. Malcolm Reed, the Senior class deacon, is now preaching the gospel to the natives of Lysander and vicinity. Inez Wagner has been happily married to one of the class of ’28, Frank Younk, the gaugling collegian. Clifford Sadelmyer, a second Edgar Guest, writes poems for the great dailies of the country. His especial theme is The Girls of the Present Day.” Esther Clark is the manager and star guard or a girls' basket ball team that bids fair to win the National Championship. Esther still aver- ages three fouls a game. Benjamin O’dell who has taken up agriculture, is now the pilot of his father's farm. Jeannette Chile has become bead of a large correspondence school. She received a large amount of her training and experience during study per- iods in B. H. S. , Coe Althouse by means of using his enormous powers of suddenly coming to life, and always being where least expected, is the present ■“Sherlock Holmes” of America. 9 Bernice Loveless, a member of Ringling Brothers' Circus, is being billed as the strongest woman in seven worlds. This, of course is all be- cause of Coach Getman’s strenuous basket ball practice. Fremont Brooks, the Beau Brummel of Baldwinsville Academy, has shoved Ramon Novarro and John Gilbert far in the background and is hailed as the “Rudolph Valentino of the age. Elizabeth Davis has become a manicurist in a certain local barber shop. Katherine Stryker, a very excellent seamstress, has become the presi- dent of the well-known Mending Club. Francis Green, a most celebrated musician, has become chief bass drummer in the House of Providence Drum Corps. Leslie Horner is running a bus line between Baldwinsville and Belgium. Ellen Wilkinson has become the leading lady in a. popular sto. k com- pany. As she is also happily married, it seems as though she has made her “Marks in the world. Robert Kersten and Edwin Mignault have opened a Physcls and Chemistry supply house. Undoubtedly they had this in mind in high school; this would explain the collection they made at the time. About the year 1960 anyone who attends the Episcopal Church, will undoubtedly see Mrs. Charles A. Lind berg, nee Miss Elizabeth Miller, walk- ing down the aisle followed by ten little Lindbergs and their renowned father. Katherine Cook, the most brilliant member of our class, was elected president of the United States in the year 1948. Blanche Weldon has taken the place of our beloved history teacher. Mrs Niece. History always seemed to have a great fascination lor Blanche. Anna Donahue, the most graceful of us all, has become the solo dancer of Zeigfield's Follies. Gladys Ellis has taken the place of Miss Lawrence, who retired on pension. Geometry was always Glady's favorite subject. She’s been trying the Regents twice a year for the last five years just to see how high she can pass it. Paul Donahue has become a wciglu-lifter in a one-ring circus; occa- sionally he treats the spectators to an exhibition ot how a trick knee should be thrown out properly. Mildred Ward is a great spiritualist and crystal gazer who for a liberal compensation will lortell all sorts of stupendous future events.

Each home-room in the Senior high school, the training class and several rooms ot the .1 unior high school. gave assembly programs. Much good work was done in planning, rehearsing and giving these programs, which had variety and interest. The Kiwanis Club again offered prizes to the winners of a debate given at their club luncheon. The question debated was: Resolved, that the Srate, rather than private corporations should own. control, operate and maintain the water power of New York State.” After preliminary trials, the following teams were chosen: Affirmative. Ellen Wilkinson Kirby V os burgh, Malcolm Reed; Negative. Elizabeth Davis, Marion Connell, Philip Llnscott. The decision was made in favor of the affirmative. Much interest was manifested in the annual Bigelow prize speaking contest. Seventeen tried out for places for the contest, the following being chosen to take part: Ruth Carroll. Margaret Farley. Elizabeth Gere, Helen Stryker, Paul Allen. Francis Cassidy. Benjamin Odell and Tracy Purdy. First prizes were awarded to Elizabeth Cere and Francis Cassidy: second prizes to Ruth Carroll and Tracy Purdy. The first prize winners or the local contest represented the school at the western section of the County contest. Both received second prizes, Solvay High School’s representatives winning first in both boys' and girls’ contests. H. E. ELDEN.

Ask any one of them. THE GLEE CUR Under the excellent supervision of the music director. Miss Roth, the Clee Club has assumed a very prominent position this year in our school activities. On Thursday, Oct. 27, we gave � i half-hour program at the Lutheran Church for the State Teachers' Convention. On Tuesday. Dec. 20, we broadcasted a half-hour program Tor the Clark .Music Company through station Wl’HL, Syracuse. On Januarv 21. we held the annual Glee Club party at the school There wore dancing In the “Gym” and cards in the Library. Everyone who went had a very enjoyable evening, especially when it came time to eat. 21 On March 2 .and 3, the .annual High School Minstrel show was given. It consisted of two plays, in which many of the members of the Glea Club had parts, and a circle in which the whole thorns took part. On February 9, we gave a program tor Mr. Carter, the State Inspector oT Music, and u number of music teachers from different schools around here. We had the great honor to he represented in the National High School Chorus, which was held in Chicago by Merle Loveless, one of the members of our chorus. He was one of four, picked t.o represent New York State. During the year, members of the chorus have played or sung for the Parent-Teachers or for Assembly. We all realize that our progress is due to the work of Miss Roth who lias given us much of her time, and we all certainly do appreciate it. ELIZABETH S. DAVIS. THE ORCHESTRA Last year witnessed the graduation of a large part of the famous Bald- winsville Academy Orchestra. Consequently, Miss Roth has been molding an orchestra this year, composed mostly of young and unexperi- enced material. They have practiced faithfully and have made credit- able showings at the weekly assembly periods. Because of the lack of experience this orchestra has been unable to play at the various school functions For this purpose Miss Roth organ- ized an older orchestra which has carried on the work very acceptably. Much credit is due Miss Roth for her faithful work in developing both of these orchestras. OLIVE BROWN. THE TRAINING CLASS The Baldwinsville Training Class seems to have made a name for itself. Thi3 year's class is larger and more widely representative than any of the preceding classes. The present class consists of students from Baldwinsville (of course), Fabius, Fulton. North Syracuse, Phoenix, Pualski and Solvay. The mem- bers of the class are: Charlreane Frawlev ......................... President Erma June Walker ...................... Vice-President Gordon Smith ............................... Secretary Mary Luke .................................. Treasurer Alice Andrews Inez Miller Dorothy Axtell Thelma Nelson Gladys Carrington Lillian Schenck Clara Brauksieck Mary Silk worth Eleanor Evan Nona Smith Jessie Guess Mildred Southard Ellen Kurhela Frances Spouenberg Elizabeth Townsend Early on the year their class was organized, their constitution written, their laws made, and their motto chosen “Out of School LiTe Into Life’s School.’ A very fitting motto, indeed. The class was rather unfortunate in having their capable teacher. Miss Boyd, forced to give up her teaching for several mouths because of illness. Miss Hazei Phipps substituted until Miss Boyd wus able to return. Al- though they were rather handicapped by the change of teachers, they all successfully passed their January Regents examinations Clara Brauk- sieck receiving the highest score. The first and perhaps the most important social event of the year was the Class Dance held on November 11. The “Ham and Eggs” orchestra furnished the music. It. was a rather exciting evening—made so. not only by the fire alarm ringing at varied intervals, but also by the Freshmen who insisted on being served through the kitchen windows. The appetites 22 of the Freshmen were so immense that for a time the refreshments threat- ened to disappear entirely. Later in the year the class prepared a splendid program for Assembly. Four members ot the class, Erma June Walker. Frances Sponenberg, 'in.s.iwa yo’so -1 • n Cla -a Rrmiksieck sane: a delightful selection entitled “Whispering Hope.” They also secured Mr. Otis Bigelow, who gave a very interesting talk on “Indians. The class is now planning a house party and a hot-dog roast, both of which are sure to l:e a success. They have spent many hours this last semester preparing the play. Lighthouse Nan,” which is to he given on the nigiit of their graduation. All the members of the class have obtained their schools for next year; so. we all hope that they will prove to be as successful teachers as they were scholars. JANE ESTHER MATSON.

Van Wie, Kelly, and Donahue, all linemen. The great need was for back-field material, as the entire 1926 back-field had either graduated or left school. Bv steadv practice and hard work. Coach Get man turned out a team composed of Jones, a line-smashing full-hack; Turkowski and Bochino. two speedv half-hacks; Crego. a clever quarter-back—the back-field: Seabold. a charging center: Van Wie and Kelly two powerful guards: Vosburg and Donahue, two sturdy tackles; and Hitchcock and Dunham, two hard- tackling ends—the forward wall. 2.1 BASEBALL TEAM Edward Berney. manager, arranged a schedule of seven games, of which the team won four, tied two, and lost one, thus gaining third place in the County League race. The team loses Jones, a back-field man, and Donahue, a lineman, by graduation, and Hitchcock, a lineman. With only three gaps to fill, the 192 8 football team of B. H. S. should he one to be watched. 1927 SCORES 1. Baldwinsville 4 7 Weed snort o 2. Baldwinsville 20 North Syracuse 7 3. Baldwinsville 35 Favetteville 0 4.

GIRLS1 BASKETBALL 1927-28 For five years in succession the Baldwinsville Girls' Basket-Ball Team has represented the West Section in the Onondaga County League Cham- pionship play-off. Confronted by the loss of three veterans, Coach Getman had no easy task in selecting a practically new line-up. At the time of the January “exams,” Bernice Loveless, who is, without a doubt, the best girl basket- ball player that Couch Getman has ever put out. graduated from high school. This was a greut loss to the team, but “Peg” Gere stepped into Loveless’ place at center and played exceptional basket-ball for the second and most important half of the season. Carroll and Abrams were the best scoring guards we have ever had ami Thompson played well, both on the offensive and on the defensive throughout the season. Much of the year’s success is due to Coach Getman, who. through his methods of careful coaching, has brought more athletic honors to the school than it had ever known before his coining. We thank the public for their support which made the past season not only a victorious one. but also a successful one from a financial stand- point. BLOCK LETTERS Fifth year Blanche Weldon (Manager).

Coach Getman started the season with hut two letter men: Turkowski and Furman. Around these players he built a team that was always a threat in County League circles. The team started the season slowly but gave great prom- ise of developing into a powerful aggregation It did not disappoint its followers for it continued to improve and reuched its highest form in the game at Solvay. There, the team played the Champions to a standstill for the greater part of the game, only to lose in the closing minutes. Following this game the team never quite recovered, and finished the season playing mediocre basket-ball interspersed occasionally with flashes of the real basketball that it was capable of playing. As a whole, the season may be considered a success if only because of the large number of young players developed by Coach Getman. These youngsters seem to be proficient enough to represent the school. Next year, faced by the loss of but one letter man. Malcolm Reed, the team should have an unusually successful season. The following received letters: Captain Joseph Turkowski, Philip Cooper, Frederick Crego, Wilson Van Wie, Russell Furman. Clarence Blanding, Malcolm Reed. Robert Howell and Manager Horwood Jones. 1927-28 SCORES Baldwinsville . . 29 Warners 25 Baldwinsville . .

BASEBALL The Baseball Team finished its 192S season with four victories and two defeats. This season was not so successful as the two preceding years. Our team hud to be contented with second place in the Western Section of the County League. The season began with only five regulars from the previous year, these regulars being Jones. Donahue, .Montague. Van Wie and Berney. Couch Getman finally put a team on the field with Montague and Harris, pitchers; Donahue, catcher; Jones, first base; Loveless, second base; Cooper, shortstop; Turkowski. third base; Van Wie. left field; Ber- ney. center-field; and O'Brien, right field. Sydney Cooper acted as manager. This year only three men—Donahue. Jones and Berney—will he lost by graduation, so the prospects for next year seem good. The plavers who earned letters are: .Montague.

THE 1927-28 SEASON IN ATHLETICS When school opened in the fall the athletic outlook was anything but bright. The teams which had established such fine records the preceding year were badly broken up. An inventory found eight of the cham- pionship football eleven missing, four of the five of the hoys' basket- ball team, three of the championship girls' team, and five of the baseball nine gone, including the pitcher and the catcher. It was apparent that the season’s work must be devoted to building up as strong teams as possible from the younger players toward tile goal of strong teams next year rather than championship teams this year. Baldwinsville is in for a lean year ’because of the passing at one time of so many hoys and girls who con- tributed so much to the team’s success. So much enthusiasm and sustained interest has been shown, however, that the teams have exceeded the hopes of most of those who follow them closely. The football team, green and light, lost but one game and that, by a elose margin, to Bast Syracuse. The boys’ basket-hall team finished second in their division, headed only by Solvay, who won the title. The girls went through the season undefeated, winning the sectional champion- ship and losing out to the Minoa girls In the final. The baseball team Is. as I write, at the top of the West Section, tied with a veteran Skaneateles team, with whom a deciding game must be played. So. the teams, com- posed of unexperienced players, have done well. The boys and girls on the teams and those competing for places on the teams have worked hard and are responsible for the comparatively fine record which they have made. Despite our pre-season fears, the athletic prestige of the school has not suffered this year, and next year’s prospects are as bright as this year's were dark, for but a few athletes will be lost. Football uml base- ball will miss Horwood Jones, Captain, Paul Donahue and Edward Berney. The girls’ team will miss Louise Eggleston, who wus Captain Cf the hoys’ team Malcolm Reed is the only player lost from the entire squad. Present indications are that next year will be a fine year for Baldwinsville High School in every sport. W. A. GETMAN. Director of Athletics.
