This year brought another round of athletic victories; for, by this time, Mr. Getnmn realized that it took Juniors to make a team. So, you may be sure there were many Juniors on his different teams. As Juniors we were allowed two council representatives, James De Scrio and Margaret Kittell. Margaret was made council secretary. In January, Margaret Kittell and Clarence Blanding were elected to the council. Clarence was elected Vice President. Richard Sears won the Bigelow Prize Speaking Contest; also the County Contest. Lucy Hicks received second prize in the Kyne Spelling Contest. Mar- garet Kittell submitted the prize winning poster in the County Poster Contest and received honorable mention in the State Contest. Merle Loveless was chos on as one of the four high school students to represent all the High Schools of New York State in the First National High School Chorus held at Chicago. Last September we elected Richard Sears and Blanche Hall to the Council, Blanche being chosen Council Secretary. Our Senior Class was organized im- mediately following the January examinations. Clarence Blanding was elected President; Robert Rowell, Vice Presidnct; Anne McGann, Secretary, and Mar- garet Kittell, Treasurer. After many stormy sessions we decided upon our rings, class flower, motto and colors. Then came our first social function as Seniors—the Senior Ball. It was a great success. The Athletic Banquet soon followed. Many Seniors received their block letters. Wilson Van Wie and Joseph Turkowski, both Seniors, were the only ones who had secured three letters by playing on all three teams.. Marjorie Thompson, another Senior, had the honor of receiving a gold basket- ball for four years of work on the basketball team. She was Captain of our champion basketball team. In January, Carl Ivrayzer and Margaret Kittell were the Senior Council members. Margaret was made Vico President of the Council. Then too, our class shows its versality by the fact that Wilson Van Wie won the Bigelow Prize Speaking Contest and represented Baldwinsville in the County Contest. Our members held offices in the Glee Club and were also mem- bers of the newly organized checker and chess teams. Now that our last year draws to a close, we begin to realize that our Sen- ior year, so bright with the joys of the present and its hopes for the years to come, is at an end. ‘Time and Tide wait for no man’ is well exemplified in High School. Only a little while ago we were bashful, bewildered, and retiring Freshmen; today we are staid and dignified Seniors. Experiences that will be recalled with pleasure by those who took part in them and that will also live in our memories as belonging to the good old days in High School, are only a pleasent bit of what we arc taking away. Somehow, our hearts are regretful; yet, aftcrall. it is but one step towards our goal, for wo are bound ‘Out. of the Harbor into the Sea.' Marion Whitmore
