The Senior Class of '31 will leave B. H. S. soon, For once again is drawing near that day of days in June; In after years the names of these may from your memory fade But B. H. S. will not forget the records they have made. In sports, in music, and oratory they’ve helped to do their part, They’ve been a credit to their school right from the very start. 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
