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

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.

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
