Each year of high school has furthered and developed us, in this comparatively unfamiliar yet extremely necessary branch of our education. We may have previously imagined that we have seriously pondered on certain subjects but in reality our minds have not been capable of it. Now, we are at the first stage of our mental growth, when it is absolutely essential that we Think and Think well—what the next step of our life shall be and how we can profit by it. A little serious thinking isn’t going to hurt or injure any of us, in fact it can help to an unbelievable extent. Class of 1931—start THINKING. It means Success or Failure. Let’s make our class come down in posterity as successfully, as clear thinking, as victorious as we have proven ourselves to be in high school. THINK! TO THE CLASS OF 1931 After all the good luck and hopes for success left to us. we should be traitors to a trust if we didn’t complete our Senior year with a few laurels, and 1 think we have. The return of the alumni to the school on their vacations bears eloquent testimony of how hard it is to sever the bonds which bind us to the Alma Mater. We sincerely hope that the same sentiment shown by the alumni will be with us also. We also earnestly desire never to forget the efforts of our teachers in making our years in high school profitable and successful. SIDNEY LUCE. TO THE CLASS OF 1932 You are nearing the end of your high school days and we wish you lots of luck for your remaining year. We leave 107 and all our teachers in your care. Make the most of your opportunities! MARION SADELMYER. TO THE CLASS OF 1933 We as Seniors of the Class of 1931 have reached our first goal. It has not always been easy, but it is worth the efforts we put forth. We wish you good luck as you follow us and in 1933 may you all gain the same goal that we as the Class of 1931 have reached. MARTE LAWRENCE. TO THE CLASS OF 1934 Hail to the Class of 1934! Already great talent has shown itself among them. They little realize now. what it means to be a Baldwinsville Senior but when they learn that they are the example of the under-classes they’will gradually acquire that decorum which is essential to people upon whom the conduct of any group depends. We trust, however, that they will uphold the honor of B. H. S. Seniors as high as we have and the preceding classes. Leaving them thus, in the hands of their teachers, we wish them the best of luck. CHARLES DE LYNE. CLASS HISTORY Among the most important world histories must stand always the annals of the Class of 1931, Baldwinsville Academy. It will become, in future years a document second in importance only to the Declaration of Independence the Constitution of the United States of America, the Magna Charta and the Ten Commandments. 5 FACULTY 1931 Its value will lie in the light it throws upon the early lives of several of the prominent people of the United States. For who knows what poets, states- men, or financiers lie hidden in this class? So we have endeavored to tell you what we know of us. The Class Roll shows our achievements; the Will, our foibles; the Prophecy, ti e promise of our future. What impression we have left upon the school is told in accounts of athletics, speaking contests, debates, journalism and plays. So we have set down our accomplishments thus far, and our hopes for the future. There is no need for the Class History which has always been a part of the Annual. The Lyre in itself is a history—and a promise. BARBARA BROWN. SENIOR PLAY—STORY OF THE PLAY The first scene of ‘ Clarence,” which was written by Booth Tarkington, is laid in the office of Mr. Wheeler. His secretary, Mrs. Martyn, shows his rela- tions with the various persons in his family who enter his office during the course of the morning. The hero of the play. Clarence, enters, looking for a position. He is an ex-soldier whose liver is not at its best. Without intending to, he hears the whole family quarrel, and when Mr. Wheeler learns this, disgusted with the hysterics his wife and daughter have been indulging in, he finds a place for him at his house—‘‘because he can drive mules without swearing.” The next three scenes take place in the Wheelers’ home. Della and Din- widdie, two servants in the household, add some of the humor to the situa- tion. Mr. Stem, Cora’s not so suppressed desire, comes to talk to Violet while Clarence is tuning the piano, which quite upsets Mr. Stem's speech. Clarence can also play the saxophone, and his playing seems to put everyone in a more amiable mood. Both Cora and Della fall in love with him, as does Violet, although she will not admit this. Mr. Stem brings the play to a crisis by declaring that Clarence, whose last name no one is sure of, is sought both by the War Department and his divorced wife, who is seeking alimony. Clarence clears up this mystery concerning his identity by proving that lie is Clarence Smith, Doctor of Science, listed in Who’s Who. Violet promises to marry him. Cora refuses to say good-bye to them, but relents at the last moment and the curtain falls as she sits down, not weeping, but saying reproachfully and lovingly, “Oh, Clarence!” The players in the order of their appearance are as follows: Mrs. Martyn...............................Alice Hayes Mr. Wheeler ......................................Carl Connell Mrs. Wheeler..................................Elizabeth Gere Bobby Wheeler...................................Richard Decker Cora Wheeler....................................Barbara Brown Violet Pinncy.............................Helen Stryker Clarence.................................Walter Mercer Della.............................Henrietta Thompson Dinwiddie................................Edward Hawley Hubert Stem..............................George Hawley ALICE HAYES. 7 CLASS WILL Being a little light headed and rather more puffed up than usual, we, the Senior Class of 1931, do make this our last will and testament. First, we have several requests to make: 1. We request the Board of Education to look into the matter of elevators and meals for late risers. 2. We want to make all the students next year as comfortable as possible, so we leave the request that window seats and davenports be placed in the halls for those who feel the need of them before and after school. May the faculty and the Board of Education never again be burdened with as brilliant a class as the Class of 1931. We also have several individual bequests to make: Richard Price wills his abundant supply of blushes to be passed out among the needy members of the Junior class. Dorothea Townsend wills her bobbing walk, which enables her to get a nice lovely white pass several times a week, to Walter Bates. Kenneth VanDerveer leaves his ability to spell to Elizabeth Walters. This may be a great help to the Literary staff next year. Helen Dempsey wills her ability to just get in 107 before the bell rings to John Paddock. Margaret Farley leaves Walt. Nuf sed. Doris Haas leaves her little giggle to Jimmy Bishop. Sidney Luce wills his personality, ambitions and high ideals to Dave Dillcn- beck. Helen Stryker, making the greatest sacrifice since Mabel left Russell, leaves Bus to those “awful” girls in the Junior class. Myrtle Yates leaves a bicycle built for two. Merton Bradway wills his theories to Einstein. We doubt if Mr. Einstein has brain-power enough to even begin to grasp them. Barbara Brown leaves her secret passion for “Tunkey” Luce to Virginia Johnson. Margaret Cronin leaves her ever pleasant smile to “Whanger” Smallwood. Carl Dimon ( the Demon”) leaves his “rep” to David Clary. Winston Baker wills his distinguished English airs and accent to Eddie Hyle. We wouldn’t want to leave the school without at least one really good Englishman! Philip Cooper leaves his bluffing ability to Carlon Cook to enable Cook to get by his last year with as flying colors as Cooper has. Velma Crook wills her curls to the Dramatic Club. Richard Decker leaves his quiet, sedate ways to Mary Jane Davis. Barbara Heaton wills her abundant supply of jokes and wise cracks to Ethel Glass. Marion Kelly leaves her teacher complex” to Laura Dickinson. Marion Hudson leaves her natural wave to Hazel Barney. Leona Madden wills her volley ball ability to Jane Montague. Catherine Muldoon, our poet, wills her poems to Nellie Lee Kittell—if Nellie Lee will secure a publisher for these. Howard Ncupert wills his sleepy appearance to Oscar Westfall. Marion Sadelmyer regretfully leaves one red coupe to take members of the faculty to and from school when Pete” will not be here. irginia aughn leaves her wind-blown to Margaret Perry. Henrietta 1 hompson wills her small stature to Robert Goodspeed. Francis Scabold wills his basket ball ability to Billy Stafford. Laura Orvis leaves her boy-friends to her up and coming younger sister. urace 1 ratt leaves her violin to Gussy Rowe, who plays the trumpet. 8 Lorin Mathewson leaves a trail of broken hearts. Paul Allen wills his Shakespearean abilities to Frank Harrington. Clayton Burritt leaves his “way with wimin” to be modeled after by the coming classes. Rosalie Dann leaves her shy and demure way to Grace Hamlin. Charles DcLyne leaves a fund to provide chewing gum for the girls who arc forced to throw theirs in the basket. Elizabeth Barnett wills her vocal cords to be used exclusively for the bene- fit of the school. Morris Blanding, our brick-yard blonde, leaves his hair to Frances Weeks, so that she may be seen in a crowd. Dominic Cenci wills his unpublished book of cloakroom antics to be placed in 107 for the use of the Juniors. George Fowler leaves his gypsy locks to Jimmy Henderson. Anna Mae Hess wills her irresistible giggle and ability to get teachers all hot and excited to Louis Bicknell. (Now they will have to get a reinforced office chair!) Marie Lawrence wills her industrious Quietness to Agnes Mowins. Will Iggy know what to do with it? Elmer Clark wills his shining locks to future residents of 107 to keep them warm. Edith Albro wills her aptness at square dancing to Virginia VanWie. Russell Furman leaves a fund for the mail carriers of Oberlin. Alice Hayes leaves her youthful abilities to Wilson Wormuth. Leta Caswell leaves her long walk home to Hymie Glass. Carl Connell wills his place in the Harmoniacs (maniacs) to Wilner Haas. Marie Shriver leaves her spare typewriting paper to Miss Pike’s study hall people on which to write notes. Alice Henderson leaves her curly hair to Helen Barrows. Paul Marshall wills his car to Walter Crook. Robert Adsit leaves his record of never having skipped school to Victor M ilkowski. Helen Perkins wills her ability to stick to B. H. S. to the end to Virginia Tyler. Edward Widgcr wills his sanctity to Irish Carroll. Frank Doran refuses to will anything. He insists he is going to take all he has with him. Elizabeth Gere leaves her place as center on the basketball team to Gene- vieve Pecore. Edward Hawley leaves his extra height to Ralph Cramer. Charles Durnin leaves his pipe to be hung in the hall beside the chess team’s picture. George Hawley leaves a fund to provide spittoons for future flute players. Edwin Nesbitt leaves his bass horn to be used as a trick waste basket for 106. Evelyn Schaff wills her absent boy-friend in Warners to anyone who will find him. Walter Mercer leaves his outboard motorboat to the Village of Baldwins- ville, to be put on a pedestal on the four corners as a shrine for all his women. Grace McGann wills her good looks to Mary Jane Harrington. Ester Loveless leaves the old farm to Barbara Gere. With apologies to anyone who wants them, we, the Class of 1931, do sign this, our class will. CLASS OF 1931.

Now, kind Seniors, as you’re leaving and bidding friends adieu, Remember B. H. S. is wishing “Success to all of you.” ROSALIE E. DANN. CLASS PROPHECY, 1931 On my last trip across the Atlantic I was lying in my deck chair watching the waves rise and break endlessly. Whether I dreamed it or whether I really saw the different scenes remains a mystery; but slowly, one by one, views of my classmates in the 1931 graduating class of B. H. S. rose and fell with each wave—clearly showing me just what they were doing. It brought me back so distinctly to the days so long past. After having gained so much experience in presiding at class meetings, Sidney Luce has taken over the 4-H Club at Maple Road. I looked closed and there was Barbara Brown very efficiently running an information bureau in the D., L. W. station at Little Utica. Who should I see next but Doris Haas modeling fitted evening-wear in J. E. Connell’s Emporium, which is now run by the illustrious son Carl. His business seemed to be flourishing, but it really should, because Carl always was a snappy salesman with a deadly line. The following scene that was brought to my startled eyes was that of a gaudy night club owned and operated by none other than Ken VanDevecr and his gang, among whom were Howard Neupert, Clayton Burritt, Carl Dimon, George Hawley and his wife, Marion Hudson, who is known to the local underworld as ‘ Desperate Daisy.” As I gazed in wonderment as a revue of breath-taking beauties appeared I recognized in their numbers Leona Madden. Anna Mae Hess, Virginia Vaughn, Evelyn Schaflf, Myrtle Yates, Grace McGann and Barbara Heaton. People come from far and near to see these Baldwinsville Babies and their daring Naughty but Nice revues. So quickly did the pictures change that I could scarcely catch my breath. What I next saw caused me to smile with delight. Alice Hayes and Merton Brad way were comfortably domesticated on the Mud Lake Road. Their chief aim in life is raising chickens and little Bradways.” Who should I see next but Grace Pratt and Moon Widger, who have cast their lots together, but only in a business way. They are joint owners of Beauty Parlor and Barber Shoppe at Moyer’s Corners. Will miracles never cease, as the old saying goes? Dorothea Townsend is editing a very sympathetic column in the Gazette entitled “A Faint Heart Never Won a Fair Lady,” how to win your Heart’s Desire, for men only! Margaret Farley, one of my best pals in the days when we were in high school and also now. has gone into business with F. A. Smith Studio as an apprentice. How well I remember the great pleasure Margaret used to get out of having her picture taken for the girls’ basketball team. Must be she couldn’t resist the temptation to find out actually what the “little birdy” was and why one had to arch her back and pull her chin in just for a mere picture. Best of luck to yon, Margaret. I have wondered myself. I knew that it wouldn’t be long before I should find out what Marie Shrivcr was doing, and sure enough, I saw her as plainly as the nose on my face (and that wouldn't be hard to see); she was calling out trains at lony Corners. It certainly is a great job for tonsils and adenoids which are in a weakened condition. What was that I just saw? Sure enough. Bob Adsit, Pec Wee Seabold and Ed Hawley have joined The Belle Isle Flashes, that snappy baseball out- fit which is startling the section with its sensational playing. These boys should prove a tower of strength to the team. Because of the magnetic personality Helen Stryker had during her days of giving the high school boys a treat, she, I found, has opened a correspond- 21 ence school for all girls who desire to learn the secret of her success. Com- plete satisfaction is guaranteed within three weeks by conscientious practicing. Here certainly is the opportunity of a lifetime, girls. The most amazing sight of all. almost, was to see Rosalie Dann, of all people, selling cigars, cigarettes, chewing gum and what not in the Seneca Hotel, which is now owned, along with a string of taxicabs which race around the town at breakneck speed, by Charles Durnin. But to get back to Rosalie, she certainly is handing the local sheiks a mean line” and drawing in a load of trade. Leta Caswell and Marion Sadelmycr are teaching in good old B. H. S. They couldn’t see how it could get along without them, so they decided to give the faculty and students a break and come back. There surely is reward for those who persevere. Before I could draw a long breath, the waves shifted, bringing with them a vivid picture of none other than Paul Allen. He was washing ELEPHANTS in Ringling’s Circus. But then, Paul always did want to do something BIG!!! Marie Lawrence has chosen as her profession that of a demonstrator in a Rexall Store in Liverpool owned by none other than Elmer Clark. She is demonstrating how to grow, keep and take care of extra long hair, bne should be quite adept. I perceived mistily through the spray of the waves a rather large group of peopic gathered around two persons who seemed to be expounding some dif- ficult theories. You could never guess who it was, so I’ll tell you. Candy Doran and Doc Cenci, attempting to teach Hester Larkin, Catherine Muldoon and Marion Kelly how to play tennis. Here’s success to them! Clanging loudly over the roar of the sea, I heard the tin-panny sound of the calliope and there was a circus troupe. The ringmaster appeared to be our famous Chuck DcLyne. Among his company were Helen Gertrude Per- kins, as the dainty bareback rider, who startled the many audiences with her daring stunts. Lorin Mathewson, too, was there. He trained lions and tigers especially well, probably because of the very smooth line of hypnotic chatter the lad possessed in high school. Outside of the main tent I heard an im- mensely loud bally-hooing going on. Turning my attention to this, I found that Rich Decker was telling the interested public about Queen Zaza (Edith Albro), the snake-charmer; Eddie (Eddie Nesbit). the tattooed man, and Madame Henrietta, psychic of great renown, whom 1 recognized, nevertheless, as Henrietta Thompson. Esther Loveless is at present advertising Lux Toilet Soap at Connell’s, and there, too, I saw Helen Louise Dempsey, now traveling for the Woman’s Home Institute as their official dressmaker. Must be she gained her ski.l in the Domestic Science class at B. H. S. As yet I hadn’t seen anything of Laura Orvis, George Fowler, Velma Crook or Winston Baker, but now the waves brought them to me in the fol- 1 owing careers respectively: Laura is composing love letters for the Penny Arcade at Long Branch; George is in big business in a big way; Velma is doubling for Greta Garbo; and Winston is teaching Intermediate Algebra in Warners. Red Blanding and Dick Price, with Alice Henderson as assistant, arc ex- perimenting on some sickly looking concoction that is guaranteed to tone ™'i!' ! u air 9 lose unfortunates blessed with carrot tops. 5ud Mercer is, as I saw, running a ferry boat on Dead Creek and it seemt o me that he was still trying to find out why all the motors he had would� I have all the parts running right at the same time. course I couldn’t miss Elizabeth Barnett, who graduated from Syracuse c niversity and is now teaching infant psychology in Ossining. . .l Cronin and Grace McGann, having discovered how really clevei tneir literary talents were after writing their part of the Lyre, decided to g«vc witlf alfthe local “d t � ats w iat an( are editing a very select weekly papei pxntfJL Ut ,.lot. Least saw Bussell Furman monkeying with some highly shame! ° matena S- iac blown everything but himself up. What a 22 I heard the boat's whistle faintly, then louder and louder, and I finally came to consciousness of the present again, but my store of knowledge was greatly increased by the amazing facts that I had just learned. Some day I shall have to take another voyage. MARGARET FARLEY and PEG GERE.

THE CLASS OF ’31 Here in dear old B’ville there’s a group of boys and girls Happy as the day is long, Brimming o’er with spirit tried and true, Gifted with the gift of song; Surely they were dropped from out the skies above, Boys and girls, just full of fun, Never was a class so rare and blest As our Class of '31. Now the closing days are coming When our paths of life must part, When no more we’ll be together, Speaking heart to heart; But we 11 have the precious mem’ries, Memories of the friends we’ve won, Friends that are dear though far away, Our class of '31. School is not to them a bitter drudge in life, Lessons are for them no dread, Onward, ever onward, staunch and brave, Seeing better things ahead. Fortune, so they think, comes only to few And not to everyone, But they re all content for they belong To the Class of ’31. K. 24 ATHLETIC ASSOCIATION The Athletic Association, which was first organized in 1918, is still main- tained under its original constitution. This association is organized every year for the purpose of giving support to our athletics. All students are represented in a council which is chosen twice annually and of which Professor Elden is chairman. The members of the council for last semester were: Seniors..................Sidney Luce and Walter Mercer Juniors.........Frank Harrington and Wallace Smallwood Sophomores..............................Burton Frawlcy Freshmen..................................Barbara Gere Soon after the association was organized last September a meeting was held for the purpose of electing officers for the football and basketball seasons. Those elected for football were: Manager, Wallace Smallwood; assistant manager, Robert Birney; Cheerleaders, James Bishop and .......... Basketball officials were: Girls’ manager, Helen Stryker; assistant man- ager, Frances Weeks; boys’ manager, Walter Mercer; assistant manager, Frank Harrington. After the basketball season a new council was elected as follows: Seniors.................Merton Brad way, Richard Decker Juniors.......................David Clary, Carl Donahue Sophomores............................Victor Milkowski Freshmen.................................Ralph Bradway At a meeting held the first of April, the following officers were chosen for the baseball season: Manager, Walter Mercer; assistant manager, David Dillenbeck. Because, undoubtedly, of the fine example set by the Seniors, the associa- tion has a large membership for this year. RICHARD DECKER. ATHLETIC BANQUET This year’s Athletic Banquet was a great success. It was held on Decem- ber 18. Only Senior high school students, alumni, and faculty were eligible to attend. The dinner, served by the ladies of the Methodist Church, was followed by the usual toasts. Charles O'Brien as toastmaster, his usual job, gave a few “warming up” remarks and then introduced Dr. Kratzer, the president of the Board of Education. The featured speaker of the evening was Eric Faigle, Assistant Cross-Country Coach at Syracuse University. Other speakers were Coach Getman; Walter Mercer, representing the students, and Fritz Crego and Jack Kelly, Baldwinsville alumni from Cook Academy. After these speeches the block letters were awarded by Professor Elden. When the students and faculty had joined in singing the Alma Mater, everyone went upstairs, where music by the local talent, the Harmonics, in snappy syncopation, furnished plenty of pep for dancing until twelve. MARION KELLY. SENIOR BALL Speaking of successes, I think our Senior Ball this year was one of the biggest of the year. The committee in charge engaged the Grange Flail as a suitable place to hold it. Lee Ilotaling and his “Midnitc Suns” were chosen to furnrish the music for the great event and no better choice could have been made—with the exception, perhaps, of Guy Lombardo or Ted Lewis. The time was set for Friday, May 28th. The hall was very prettily deco- rated with the class colors, orchid and green. It was rather warm for dancing but after every dance the refreshment committee served very good punch to those who were suffering too much from the heat; so it really wasn’t so bad. After dancing until one A. M. we went home, happy over the fact that everyone had had a good time. If they hadn’t it was their own fault. HELEN PERKINS. 25 BOYS BASKETBALL TEAM SENIOR ACTIVITIES We opened our social year with a sleigh ride. Despite the lack of snow on the Smokcy Hollow road everybody had a marvelous time. Afterwards there were refreshments and dancing in the school library. On May 20th the class had a movie benefit in order to raise money for graduation expenses. Each member of the class had a street or two on which he made a house-to-house canvass with these tickets. In this way everybody was reached. We made forty-five dollars, which will help meet some of our expenses. MARION HUDSON. THE JOURNALISM CLUB The Journalism Club, recently formed, has been added to our list of school activities. This club aims to improve the “Crimson and White” by making it a more interesting and up-to-date school paper. In addition to editing the paper, the club is expected to promote a growing interest in Journalism. Everyone interested in Journalism is invited to become a member of the club. The officers of the Journalism Club are: President, Wallace Smallwood; vice-president, Kathryn Ryan; treasurer, Frank Harrington; secretary, Bur- ton Frawlcy. ROSALIE DANN 31. DRAMATICS This year has been a very successful year in dramatics. They have been carried on with great enthusiasm. A new plan has been adopted, which is that Miss Roth gives parts in plays, etc., to students. These plays are given during our assembly period and as exchange programs with other schools. The exchange programs were: “The Love of a Bonnet.” given at Skaneateles. The characters were: F. Weeks, M. Sadclmyer, H. Thompson, O. Hosmer, N. Kittel and M. Cook. Elizabeth Gere gave “The Highwayman.” At Marcellus the play “Bills” was presented. B. Heaton, F. Wilkinson and G. Hawley were the characters. A recitation, “A Sisterly Scheme,” was also given by Barbara Brown. “Box and Cox,” an Old English play, was taken to Solvay. Those who had parts in this play were E. Gere, C. Reddout and V. Milkowski. Other plays given in the assembly were: “Her Busy Day,” “Carrying Out a Theory,” given by the Junior High. In addition to this a very clever Marionette show was put on by E. Griffeth and M. J. Wells. Other events that have helped dramatics are the minstrels and prize speak- ing contests. VELMA COOK. ORCHESTRA The close of this semester marks the end of eight years of orchestra work in this school. Eight years ago Miss Roth organized the first Baldwinsville High School Orchestra, and since then, under her excellent training, the school has been furnished with good music for every occasion. In fact, since its organization the orchestra has played for every school entertainment and contest held in the high school auditorium, and for many others sponsored by outside organizations. Of course all of the best musicians were furnished by the Class of 1931 and the orchestra would be spoiled by our leaving if it were not for the lucky fact that Mrs. Hill has consented to let Miss Roth use several members of her band to fill the vacancies. (Mrs. Hill's band is made up of pupils in the first and second grades in grammar school.) The school orchestra has broadcast from Station WFBL. It is to be noted that the first broadcast was made hardly more than a year after the orchestra was organized. A fine tribute to Miss Roth’s ability, we might suggest. 27 In 1929 the orchestra won first prize in the Onondaga County Orchestra Contest. It was a combination radio and victrola. In 1930 the orchestra again won first prize in the county contest. This time the prize was $25. At the time of this writing the orchestra is working hard on three numbers for this year’s contest. They are: “The American Legion,” a march; “Gavotte Celebre,” and “Rosamunde. ’ an overture. If we do not win the contest this year it is evident that it will be no fault of Miss Roth's, as she is spending much time and effort in preparing for the contest. The end of this musical note indicates that it is exactly time to leave the fate of B. H. S. musical activities to the on-coming classes. This is station LYRE now signing off. We are operating on an unknown quantity of pen- cycles without permission of the Public Welfare Commission. Good night! EDWIN NESBITT. THE GLEE CLUB Although many of the members of last year’s Glee Club were graduated, Miss Roth showed her efficiency in picking more members that were equally good with a little training. During the first part of the year the Glee Club met and elected the officers for the year: President, Walter Mercer; vice-president, Helen Stryker; sec- retary, Elizabeth Gere. On December fourth and sixth the Glee Club took part in the annual High School Minstrels. In February a group was chosen to sing at the Solvay High School as part of an assembly program. On May first this same group took part in the program of Senior Prize Speaking Contest. During the year the Glee Club also has sung in the assembly programs oj our own school upon several occasions. Plans were also made for the annual party to be held this year at Owasco Lake. Therefore, we think our Glee Club has completed a successful year both in our own and other schools. LAURA ORVIS. THE B. H. S. BUSINESS COURSE At the beginning of the school year we had an added attraction, in that an elementary business course was included in the schedule. The course consists of shorthand, typewriting, bookkeeping and business training, l or those con- sidering college or a business career it is a real and valuable aid. Nevertheless, contrary to expectations, the course is no snap, as divers students have discovered. It requires no more work than the other subjects on the schedule but one must be constantly on the job if one really desires to make progress. Students in the various business courses are rarely absent from class. neupert. PRIZE SPEAKING 1 his year candidates for prize speaking turned out in such large numbers that it was decided to have both a Junior and Senior contest. , s a Jesuit of the preliminary contests, Norma Snyder, Bertene Kelly. Barbara Gere, Faith Storm. Robert Wilkinson. Earl J. Somers. James Mcr- nam, and Richard Rury were chosen to lake part in the final contest of the junior High which was held on Friday evening, April 24. at eight o’clock m the academy auditorium.

REVIEW OF ATHLETICS The athletic teams representing Baldwinsville High School have made a splendid record for 1930-31. After winning both the football and basketball championships of the county, the baseball team missed by the narrow margin of one game, making a clean sweep for the year. Of the twenty-seven games of football, basketball and baseball played against County League rivals, twenty-five victories were registered against two defeats. The girls' basketball team, Western Section Champions for seven years, failed to repeat this year, but only after losing two heart-breaking overtime games. Graduation will take over half the members from the teams, and conse- quently the prospects for as brilliant a season next year are not so bright. The teams this year have made a most remarkable record for future teams to try to better; however, with a few members of each team as a nucleus, and the continuance of the fine interest and spirit by the students, it may be possible to build teams next year to successfully defend the school position at the top of the County League. W. A. GETMAN. 29 -H GIRLS BASKETBALL TEAM FOOTBALL Another championship! In spite of the absence of several of the stars of the championship team of 1929, the team of 1930 won the second straight Major Section County League football championship. Those of the 1929 team who did not return were Crego. Kelly and Higgs, who graduated, and Furman and Pickard, who were over the new age limit of the League. As a nucleus for the 1931 team there were eight letter-men. Captain Bick- nell was back at his old position at guard, where he had his best season. Carroll, captain-elect of the 1931 team, the only backficld regular to return, developed into the best scholastic player in this section of the state. The cap- tain of the 1929 team, Seabold, returned and played his best game at center. Fowler started the season at end. but was shifted to the backfield, where he lived up to the good reputation he had established while playing end. Baker at guard played a dashing game, bowling any would-be tacklers from the path of the ball carrier. At tackle. F. Harrington put his 200 pounds in the way of many opposing players, who didn’t feel so well afterwards. All these remained from the first team of the year before, but Nesbitt. Price and Luce, the other letter-men, developed greatly. Price found his place in the backfield, where he played a smashing and speedy game, as the opponents soon found. Nesbitt played a fine game at tackle all season. Luce didn’t quite make a regular position, but he was a fine substitute, ready to fill any- one’s shoes along the line. For the remaining positions there were capable players from the second team. W. Bates showed himself a fine end. J. Har- rington, after a little while in the backficld. was shifted to end, where he played a dashing game. Bradway received the call for barking signals. Luce, Dillenbeck, Connell and Glass formed a very capable list of reserves. The outlook at the beginning of the season wasn’t very bright. The squad went to work when practice was called the first week of school, under the very capable direction of Coach Getman, with Mr. Durgee assisting him. Every player had greatly improved during the summer and was ready to begin a strenuous season. The first game, a non-League affair at Fayetteville, resulted in a 14 to 0 victory for Baldwinsville. The team played rather poorly, except for a couple of shows of power. Carroll scored both goals on runs of over 300 yards, and he kicked both points after the touchdown. The day was very hot and a bad one for football. Our first League game was at Camillus, a new addition to the Senior League and champions of the Junior League in ’29. This was the closest game of the season, and resulted in victory only in the last minute. The team played moderately well until the last quarter, when it played brilliantly. With a minute to go. Carroll was called upon to boot a field goal from the twelve yard line, which he did with his usual excellence. The following Fridav Solvay came to town, where it was repulsed to the tune of 14 to 0. Carroll scored both touchdowns from about 12 yards out, while J. Harrington kicked one of the extra points. Solvay came the closest to a touchdown when it went to the six inch line, but it was stopped dead there. The team traveled to East Syracuse to defeat them 30 to 0 in a sea of mud. Fowler was shifted to the backfield and .1. Harrington to end. where they re- mained for the rest of the season. During this game the team developed the power that made it famous. Carroll scored three and Price two touchdowns. Marcellus came to town and was trounced 46 to 0 in the rain. This was the highest score of the season against a team which played as good ball as any team played. Carroll contributed five touchdowns and four extra points, Price and Fowler one touchdown apiece to the rout. For the final game we went to Skaneateles to take them into camp, 38 to 0. On a slippery and muddy field Carroll scored five touchdowns and two extra points, and Price one touchdown. 31 For the season, the team scored 145 points to 0 for the opponents. Carroll scored 114. Price 24, Fowler 6, and J. Harrington 1. Although there were some individual stars, it can be truthfully said that the success of the 1930 team was due to the team's acting as a unit instead of four or five individual stars. It will be a matter of debate as to the strength of this team when compared to other fine teams in the past or future, but the 1930 team has compiled a record better than any other school team in recent years, and a record at which future teams will have to shoot hard to surpass. Only four letter-men. Captain Carroll, J. Harrington. F. Harrington and Dillenbeck, plan to return next year. Bicknell. Seabold, Fowler, Price, Baker, Nesbitt. Luce. Connell. Glass, Bates and Bradway will be gone. Although it will be difficult to replace these men, Coach Getrnan is equal to the task of building another fine team, which everyone hopes will win tlie third champion- ship in a row. MERTON BRADWAY. BASKETBALL For the first time in the history of the school a boys' basketball team has won both the Sectional and the County Championship in the same year. At the start of the season most people thought it was just another basket- ball team, but when Camillus went down to defeat by our team in the first game of the season at Camillus many hearts began to beat faster. That game convinced the boys that they could play basketball. Camillus, if you will remember, won the Western Section Championship the year before and was nosed out in the finals by Minoa after three overtime periods. It was this same team that fell short in the scoring column in the first game against our team. Everything went smoothly until Warners handed us a defeat at Warners. After that Fulton was the only team that earned a decision over our boys. That being a non-League game made no change in our standing but it helped us in many ways to see our weak points. From then on we gained victory after victory and assured ourselves of at least the Western Section Champion- ship. The last game, played in Archbold Gymnasium in Syracuse, was closely contested, but we succeeded in gaining the winning margin over Minoa of the Eastern Section for the County Championship. 1 he team was very well coached into a smooth working combination by ( oach Getrnan, who probably will long remember some of the close battles that took place. The fact that this championship was the second major championship in succession makes it more significant. To start the season we had to have a center. This position was very cap- ably filled by Irish Carroll, who played a stellar game all season. In Luce and Seabold wc had two of the hest guards in the County League. Cooper and Doran paired up very well at the forward positions to make a well bal- anced team. Price, although not a regular, fitted into any position very well when called upon. Smallwood, playing his first year, proved himself to be one of the best players on the squad. LaVoic joined the squad after the mid year examinations and did enviable work the rest of the season. Decker, with i! e 'car s experience, will be a very valuable guard next year. Bland mg gave some of the best exhibitions of shooting baskets from the for- ward berth that will be sorely missed next year. The rest of the squad di creditable w'ork in the practice sessions and preliminary games they played. As a nucleus for next year’s squad Coach Getrnan will have Carroll. Small- wood, Decker, Mowins, Harrington, Birney and Wormuth. Besides those mentioned there will be many good players from the inter-class teams tha are sure to get a try-out. T hose who received block letters this vear were: Cooper, gold basketball. Larroll, third year; Seabold. third year; Price, third year; Doran, second year, Luce, second year, and Smallw'ood, first year. 32 THE SUMMARY •Camillus ..................... 22 Marcellus ..................... 17 •Warners ....................... 25 •Fulton ........................ 26 •Alumni ........................ 24 Jordan ........................ 19 Skaneateles ................... 19 •Elbridge ...................... 13 •Solvay ........................ 18 Camillus ...................... 12 •Marcellus ..................... 10 Warners ....................... 16 •Jordan .....,.................. 15 •Skaneateles ................... 26 Elbridge ...................... 10 Solvay ........................ 26 tMinoa ......................... 16 Total ......................314 •Home team. fChampionship game.

GIRLS’ BASKETBALL, 1930-1931 The basketball season for the Baldwinsville girls may be called a successful one. although the team did not win the sectional championship which they fought for to the utmost. When the season started there were many new candidates trying out, so that the squad had to be cut. From last year s first team there remained Peg Gere, center; Margaret Farley, forward, and Agnes Mowins, guard. With Gere as center, Farley and Perkins as forwards, and Mowins and Walters, guards, the team proved quite successful. The team this year will lose an excellent center. Captain Gere, who has played center position for four years, showed good work in every game and it will be hard to develop as good a center as Gere has been. Farley and Perkins as forwards played excellent games, both being very quick and keen for the basket. Mowins, who has shown good basketball playing now for two sea- sons on the Baldwinsville team, was strong on the offense as well as the de- fense, and has proved her ability to play as either forward or guard. Dempsey earned her way to the first team in the second game with Marcellus and played in Walters’ position as guard, and for the remaining games did excellent work. Davis, Stryker and Connell also played as substitutes. The last game with Skaneateles made us lose the possible championship for the Western Section. The girls lost but three games out of the ten played, and each was lest only by a point, and two of these by shooting fouls. Five of the nine girls will be graduated this June, therefore making a com- plete change in the first team.

INTER-CLASS BASKETBALL Interest in inter-class basketball ran high this year. The games were fol- lowed by a large gathering, both students and faculty. At the start of the Inter-class League games, the Sophomores were looked upon as the favorites. However, the Seniors quickly gained this position by taking the first four games. It seemed that they were on their way to an- other championship. Then things began to happen. As a result of the tests and regents, Furman, the Senior star, was graduated and the Seniors dropped their lead. The Sophomores also were crippled when they lost Mowins. Wormuth and Lavoie, their three stars, who went to the high school basketball squad. However, “Hawk” Bates, being ineligible for any more high school basketball, cast his lot with the Sophomores. The Sophomores continued to win, and after a hard struggle won the championship. The Freshmen nosed out the now crippled Seniors to take second place. The Seniors had to be contented with third place, while the hard-fighting Juniors took the cellar position. The Sophomores claimed as their coach none other than '‘Pee Wee” Sea- bold. Wormuth, Mowins and Lavoie played stellar games during the first half. With their departure, the burden fell on “Hawk” and Jack Rates, Jack Willis, David Dillcnbcck and Crcgo. They carried the burden to victory. To overcome the record set by the Seniors, the Sophomores must win this championship for three more years. We wish them luck. “MATTY.” BASEBALL, 1931 Coach Getman had fifty-four candidates report at the first call for baseball. This included many veterans and ineligibles from 1930. The squad was cut to twenty after a week of tryouts. Prospects for a successful season were brightened when it was found out that there were four capable pitchers, something Baldwinsville has lacked for the last two years. This new strength on the defense and heavy hitting for the offense showed that Baldwinsville would be in the running throughout the year. Baldwinsville first Proved their worth by defeating Nottingham, present sectional champions, of Syracuse, in a two-game series. The te m took its first defeat from Skaneateles when the defence crumbled and the offense showed signs of weakening. The team was defeated three days later at Marcellus 1 to 0. This g� mc was lost by an accidental balk by the pitcher. It was one of the best played games in the section throughout the year. Although the championship was not won as in the other major sports, the season cou’d be considered successful according to the number of games won. Many new players were developed for the future. The team showed the best offensive power of the league as it scored more runs than any other team. 31 SUMMARY Baldwinsvillc ...................... 8 Baldwinsville ...................... 7 Baldwinsvillc ......................23 Baldwinsvillc ...................... 5 Baldwinsville ...................... 1 Baldwinsville ...................... 0 Baldwinsville ......................16 Baldwinsville ......................15 Won, 6; Lost, 2.

GOLF Although the Baldwinsville golf team was forced to play two out of three games out of town they gave a good account of themselves in the county league this spring. The first match was at Skaneateles on May 9. The team, composed of Leon Russell, Francis Russell, Fred Wilkinson and Chuck DeLyne. who had earned the right to play on the Seneca links the week before, easily con- quered the Lake Shores, 11-1. On the following Saturday Solvay played on our home course and this also resulted in a rout for Baldwinsvillc as all men scored 3 points to win 12-0. Vocational, believed to have one of the best teams ever produced in Syra- cuse, defeated the Crimson and White golfers at Tuscarora on May 19, 9-3, in a non-league game. This was the first setback ever administered to the Bald- winsville team since it was organized three years ago. But the jinx of Tuscarora still hung over the Seneca caddies as they lost to Marcellus there May 23. 7l -4l 2. Scores were high, due to very bad weather conditions, but it was fair to both teams. This victory gave the Western Section title to Marcellus. Although we always want to win it is best that we lose once in a while, so that we won't forget how to be good losers. We wish to thank the officials of t’ e Seneca Golf Club for making it pos- sible for our team to play its home matches there. MORRIS BLANDING. TENNIS At the beginning of the tennis season a year ago it looked doubtful as to whether the young people of Baldwinsville would have an opportunity to play any tennis. The demand for getting the courts in shape, however, was so great that a meeting was held and it was decided to form a tennis club. Tap Reinhardt was elected president and Heb Harrington and Betty Abrams were elected treasurers. It was decided at this meeting to permit young people who attended Bald- winsville Academy to join the club for $2. Senior members were charged $a. Many young people took the opportunity to join the tennis club and to play. As a result the courts were used a great deal and everyone had a great time. The club was able to survive the first year through the generosity of the Parent-Teachers Association, who so kindly helped out in the financing of the club. I am sure that every member of the club appreciated this aid. This year the people of Baldwinsville were even more enthusiastic over tennis. At the first meeting a great number showed their desire to play tennis and it was decided to put the courts in shape for another year. Richard Price was elected president and Heb Harrington will again carry on his splendid work as treasurer of the club. He will be aided by Peg Gere. This season is expected to l e a big one for the tennis fans of Baldwinsville. 1 lie courts have been resurfaced and they are in fine shape. It is hoped that they will be used a great deal, and that the enthusiasm for tennis will continue 33 to gain. It is expected that many intercity tournaments will be held this year and we hope everyone will get together and have a good time. Let’s make this year a banner tennis year. The desire to play tennis is growing every year and I think it would be a great idea to form a school tennis team. Tennis is played by many of the city high schools and in practically every college. Why shouldn’t it be played at Baldwinsville and in the other County League schools? Let’s boost tennis and make it one of our school activities. RICHARD PRICE. CHECKERS AND CHESS This year makes the third year of checkers and chess in Baldwinsville Academy. The first year the checker team started out very well by winning the cham- pionship. The following year they didn’t do as well and therefore didn’t place as the year before. This year the checker team didn’t win a game and placed at the bottom or very near it. The chess team, with many new faces in it. started off with a determination to win. Clary, Bigelow and Durnin, with about the same ability, were going very strong. The team had some difficulty finding a fourth man. It was a close race between Davis and Hunter. These men with about the same ability were new at the game and couldn’t be expected to win very often but they did remarkably well. The hardest game was with East Syracuse, whom we tied. They (E. S.) were beaten out in the play-off for the championship. The championship game was a very closely contested game. At the end the score was tied 4-4; it was decided to have each man play one game apiece. The Baldwinsville boys tired out from two hours concentration. The boys with their backs to the wall settled down and won. Professor Cary was elated, and justly, over winning the championship. The following men received letters: Chess—David Clary, Charles Durnin, Payne Bigelow, Arthur Davis, Robert Hunter. Checkers—Clayton Reddout, Carlon Cook. Oscar Westfall. “CHUCK” DURNIN.

JOKES Within Reach of All A clergyman, anxious to introduce some new hymn books, directed the clerk to give out a notice in church in regard to them immediately after the sermon. The clerk, however, had a notice of his own to give with reference to the baptism of infants. Accordingly, at the close of the sermon he an- nounced, All those who have children they wish baptized, please send in their names at once. The clergyman, who was deaf, supposing that the clerk was giving out the hymn book notice, immediately arose and said: “And I want to say for the benefit of those who haven’t any, that they may be obtained from me any day between three and four o’clock, the ordinary little ones at fifteen cents, and the special ones with red backs at twenty-five cents each.
