DEDICATION To the Faculty, who, through its never- ceasing efforts has enabled us to reach this, our last year of high school, we, The class of 1932, dedicate this token of gratitude and appreciation.

As editor of that book, I thought deeply on the various phases of the immense scope covered by this ' word: and came to the conclusion that no one book could include everything which should be said on the subject. Loyalty to country, to community, to school, to friends, and, most important of all, to self, should be practiced conscientiously by every student. We who are passing on realize, as we review in our minds the past four years, how many occasions there were when we were lacking in the proper enthusiasm for some school enterprise, when we did not support with all our hearts and ability an activity which needed our support. We regret these occasions now and wish to leave this little message to our fellow students that they may profit by the mistakes which we are powerless to remedy — BE LOYAL! is«f ’ ’ rV ? v IrH’Ps •- V' Trp-: i; Editor-in-Chief.

Mrs. Cussler With school studies as the major facts, it seems as tho our history would be A, B, C,—but no—it is like a bridge game with luck, honors and score. As Freshmen, we played the game in decided ignorance, not having learned the rules and tricks. Naturally we were tripped up by the more experienced players who practically ignored us while we were playing the first hand. With each succeeding hand—the 2nd, 3rd and 4th—the game was more interesting, more eventful, and we obtained a larger score year by year. All thru the game the honors were divided. Way back in our most ancient history came the honors of being represented in the Athletic Council, the High School Orchestra and the Glee Club. The sport field proved too great for high honors, but many of us worked up skill for the various teams. In the Kyne Spelling Contest, one of our number took 2nd prize. We busied ourselves with a sleigh ride. Junior Assembly programs, which had been newly introduced, and by the end of the year we had enough points to move on to the Sophomore class. We were looked upon now as human beings. Many of our number were initiated into the Glee Club organization; one was chosen as cheer- leader, one as a regular on the basketball squad, three on the baseball squad and one took the 3rd spelling prize. The orchestra, to which we sent about ten delegates, won the county prize. As the game progressed, our score increased by leaps and bounds. Evidently we were more learned, for as Juniors, we were allowed double representation in the Athletic Council; we sent untold numbers to make up the school teams—football, basketball (boys and girls) baseball, golf, chess and checkers; we tried our vocal cords in Prize Speaking to a better advantage, and three Juniors took part in the Kiwanis debate. Once again we shared in winning the Orchestra Contest, and likewise we shared in the fun at the Glee Club picnic at Long Branch. Of our number, some few were skilled enough to be honored at the Athletic Banquet by being presented with a block letter or two. Our recent history is more eventful and our game more exciting. In this last hand we all took more interest, played and worked harder, and achieved greater results. We drew high cards in all sports. Hockey, a newly adopted feature, drew the attention of several of our class, but all these were losing tricks as far as championships are concerned. Trumps were widely scattered as formerly. The Journalism Club was presided over by members of our class and the Crimson White staff was dependent upon our number. Our highest trump was played immediately after the January Regents when 39 names were posted to make up the list of official seniors—the longest list in the school history. Wallace Smallwood won the lead by being elected president and by following suit, we have accomplished much. We have trumped in with a successful sleigh ride, movie benefit, card party, and ball. The bid was high but we fulfilled our contract by taking 8 honors at the 1931 Athletic Banquet when twelve of our boys received block letters for baseball, football and golf, and in assembly when sixteen boys and girls received block letters lor basketball, chess and checkers. One trick was taken by the honors won by our orchestra in the state sectional contest. Six seniors helped gain the tie place which we won in this contest. Mrs. Cussler, our Culbertson, has taught us some of the rules and finer points and we have profited by her advice, especially during ihe last hand. We did not take the game too seriously. The social and athletic events in which we took part made our studies more bearable and we are justly proud of our regents' average list which is dependent upon the efficient work of our teachers. “Thus endeth the first lesson.” Mary Jane Davis. TO THE SENIOR ANNUAL (With Apologies) Reams of work, teams of work Bales of work before them; Piles of work, miles of work, Hovering o’er them. Forward each lad and maid. Onward, nor be afraid! Vanqish the grim tirade, Blanch not before them! Forward with Staff arrayed. Was there a one dismayed Not though he knew full well What lay before him. Their’s not to reason why Their’s not to make reply Their’s but to do or die, So in the thickest fray, Dauntless we found them. Swift flashed their pens in air, Not a one did despair, Nor wavered nor faltered. Straight to their task they went, Steadfast on victory bent. Not one repiner. Swiftly their work was done, Nobly they fought and won, Witness their year book—none Could be finer. When can their glory fade Oh, the success they made! None of them blundered. Nobly their parts they played Nobly their work essayed— All the school wondered. 9 C. Muldoon. TO THE CLASS OF 1932 WITH everybody wishing us good luck and success, we can do nothing but complete our Senior year in HIGH. As with the other classes, so it is with ours. It is hard to break the bonds that bind us to the Alma Mater. We sincerely hope that the sentiment shown by the alumni will be ours also. We also wish never to forget the efforts of our parents, our teachers and the Board of Education in making our years in high school profitable and successful. Chester Kingsley. TO THE CLASS OF 1933 We regret that we will have to leave our home room in your possession, but we know that you will appreciate the honor which is bestowed upon you. If you enjoy your Senior year as much as we have enjoyed ours, we know that the class of ’33 will always remember it as the happiest year in high school. We, the class of 1932 wish you luck and lots of it, together with all the success that may be given to anyone. Olive Hosmer. TO THE CLASS OF 1934 To the class of 1934 we wish not only luck, but the courage to use their respective abilities; for unlike courage, luck is elusive and fails in the crisis. It is for them to see that they keep that courage, not only through the two more years of High School, but on into life, for, so those who know tell us, they will surely need it. Dorothy Kellicott. TO THE CLASS OF 1935 Lo and behold! In the near future you, who are beginning your new life in high school, will attain the coveted goal which we have won. Try hard to follow in the footsteps of the Senior Class of 1932 and all the classes before us. 1 here is your standard! Let no stone go unturned in executing the task that is laid before you. Our hope is the best of luck for your success. 10 Frederick Wilknison. CLASS WILL We, the class of 1932, having completed our allotted number of years in high school, are about to depart, hence into the great Unknown. Upon taking a careful inventory of our talents and virtues, we find ourselves in possession of many things which it is our pleasure this evening to bestow upon those who will appreciate them most. Being of what we think sound mind and memory, we do therefore make, ordain, publish and declare this, to be our last will and testament. By it we do give, devise and bequeath upon those supremely fortunate individuals the things we have acquired during our school life. First, we leave to the students in the Junior class that greatest gift of all, the right to take our places when we leave. We hope and pray they will be awed by this sacred privilege, which includes the right to sit in Room 10 7 and to hang their coats in the cloakhall. (We want everyone to understand that when we give, we give all). Secondly, on behalf of all the other students in high school we leave to Mr. Elden a pair of very squeaky shoes which we hope he will always wear to warn pupils of his approach. Following are the bequests certain generous Seniors wish to make: 1. Nellie Lee Kittell leaves her majestic stride to Charles English. 2. Claude Emerson leaves his negro dialect and his dog, “Clem ', to Beezie Smallwood. 3. Laura Dickenson bestows upon Grace Hamlin her adorable sneeze. We know Grace will be simply delighted. 4. Jack Shea and Edward Stevenson together are willing their surplus stature to “Little John” Goodspeed. 5. Oscar Lavoie has agreed to share his extensive knowledge of History with Maud Marvin. 6. David Clary says he's not going to leave anything, thus living up to his reputation of being the stingiest Senior. 7. Clayton Reddout is having one of his pictures enlarged to present to Mr. Getman. 8. Adele Jones leaves her newly acquired permanent to Mary Jane Harrington. 9. Helen Perkins and Winston Baker leave ........ together. 10. Wallace Smallwood bequeaths to Gus Rowe his basketball prowess. 11. Jean Miller leaves her shy and quiet manner to Paul Bogdanoff. 12. Edward Hyle leaves Mary. 13. Mary Jane Davis leaves her stately grace to Glenna Connell. 14. Jane Henderson and Leila Smith, our up and coming opera stars leave their voices to Helen Cunliffe and Amelia Golden. 15. Frederick Wilkinson leaves his toothsome smile to Jay Mercer. 16. Virginia Van Wie has graciously decided to bestow upon Barbara Gere, her much used vanity case. 17. Josephine Connell was on the verge of willing her irresistable giggle, but Johnnie came along and she changed her mind. 18. Ed. Widger bequeaths to future checker players, his facial expression. 19. Elizabeth Walter wills her Pontiac to the school to be used for transporting teachers to and from the campus. 20. Arthur Davis leaves his train announcer voice to Frederick Widmer. 21. John Paddock bequeaths his stacks of tardy passes to Faith Storm. 22. Dorothy Kelljcott and Catherine Muldoon leave their combined artistic ability to David Dillenbeck. He cannot but profit by it. 11 23. Frances Belknap wills her personality and appeal to Henrietta Brauksieck. 24. Effie Glass wills her basketball suit to Kate Ryan. 25. Norlynn McMullen leaves to all timid girls in school her ability to shriek stop at any time and any place. 26. Chester Kingsley bequeaths to Allen Lavoie his ability to concentrate. 27. Francis Russell leaves one of his golf clubs to be framed and hung in the corridor upstairs. 28. Frank Harrington leaves his football togs to Frederick Peters, who has a great longing to be a football star. 29. Richard Sullivan is leaving a lock of his hair to be used as a bookmark for Miss Pike. What a sacrifice! 30. Carlon Cook leaves his permanent, wave to Mary Henderson. 31. Wilner Haas has consented to leave his track ability to Emerson Cole. 32. Frances Church and Olive Hosmer leave their modest and dignified airs to the needy girls in the Junior class. 33. Laura Orvis leaves her half-time schedule to Jane Montague. Jane never could manage a full schedule. 34. Agnes Mowins leaves her vivacious manner (we almost said boister- ous) to Virginia Johnston. Likewise we do make, constitute and appoint, our principal to be the executor of this, our last will and testament, hereby revoking all former wills by us made. In witness thereof, we have hereunto subscribed our name and affixed our seal, the twenty-ninth day of June, in the year of our Lord one thousand nine hundred and thirty-two. The Class of 1932, by Elizabeth Walter and Claude Emerson. CLASS PROPHECY The time is 1940. I decided to do what has been uppermost in my mind for some years—to take a leisurely trip and find out all I can about the graduating class of 1932, of which I was a part. To do this takes time and money. I have always had the time, but up to the preceding fall, the money has been lacking. However, at that time, an uncle of whom I had never heard, succumbed and left me a cool million. So, I trotted out one of my Rolls Royce roadsters and started out. My first stop was to be Little Utica, where the mayor, John Paddock, had promised to meet me with a brass band. But alas! when I reached the pre- arranged spot, I discovered that John had not yet outgrown his habit of high school days—he was late! Disgusted. I turned about, wondering where to go next. Then I re- membered that our graduating class's goal was to be something big. Accordingly, I sped toward New York. My anxiety to get to the big town must have prompted me to step on the accelerator a little too heavily. Before I had gone far, I heard a roar of a motorcycle and the command to “pull over. I stopped at the side of the road and turned my head. There, astride the two-wheeled machine was Jack Shea, the pride of the speed cops. Although he recognized me, it was “duty first” with Jack. So, despite my protest, I was hauled into court. When I saw the judge, however, I brightened up. The man in the long flowing robe (named Herman) was none other than Clayton Reddout. He would be lenient towards an old classmate. Then my face fell. I remem- bered that I had never repaid Clayt the two sheets of paper I had borrowed in the spring of '32! I finally staggered out of the court, after being fined fifty dollars and costs. Inasmuch as I went more slowly from then on, I could not reach the metropolis before nightfall and was forced to stop off at Crawling-on-the- Hudson. I made my way to a large, imposing, newly constructed hotel. Here I was to receive many surprises. Out in front, all arrayed in a gilt-edged long coat with brass buttons stood Francis Russell. As soon as I reached the door I received another shock. The red-coated bellhop who grabbed my suitcase was Wilner Hass. Then I turned to the desk to register. The clerk who smiled so graciously, who twisted the book around to the right position and who offered me a pen was Niles Stebbins! The shock was too great—I had to be carried to my room. I came to with the rising sun, an extraordinary experience for me. The first thing that met my gaze as I looked out of the window was a huge sign bearing these words, “Shipwrecked Smith—Contender for Flag- Pole Sitting Championship—4 8th Day Up!” Above the glaring letters I saw the pale, wan face of “Ray” Smith. Ray always wanted to get up in the world. I then decided to partake of some breakfast, so I dashed for the elevator, only to collide with somebody in the hall. It was Josephine Connell— pardon me—Mrs. Harrington (as she informed me). She and Johnny were on their honeymoon. Bon voyage on the seas of matrimony. Johnny! The elevator girl said, “Going down?” I recognized the mouse-like voice of Norlyn McMullen. She was rather disgusted with her position, but then, as I told her, everybody must have their ups and downs. I entered the dining hall to the soft, melodious voice of Bus Smallwood, “The Crooning Sensation of the East.” who, with his orchestra composed of several of his former classmates, were sojourning at the hotel for two weeks. Besides Grace Pratt and Leona Madden, the violinists of the orches- tra, I also saw behind a large, queer-looking instrument, his cheeks puffed out, our own curly-headed Art Albro. Next to him sat Art Huntley, perched upon a step-ladder to enable him to blow into a huge horn. (This proves 13 that music and “art” go together). Both of them, I learned afterwards, were disciples of the Learn-at-Home Method of becoming a musician. As I sat down to order my meal, who should walk up but a sleek - looking waiter with a pointed mustachio. After a few minutes of silent concentration, I placed him as Oscar Lavoie. He had acquired, besides the mustache, a French accent. If only Miss Wortman could see him now! When I began to satisfy my hunger, I found that the fancy-named dish I had ordered wasn’t so palatable as I had expected, so I demanded to see the chef. Out of the kitchen blustered “Moon” Widger. He explained that the creation was one he had learned in his experiences at Richfield Springs with Prof. Cary. Seeing that that was how matters stood, I tipped them both ten dollars and left. The Great White Way beckoned me so I sped on my way. I hadn’t gone many miles before I came upon three young men who were running along the side of the road at a fair clip. I slowed down and asked if they wanted a lift. They shook their heads in the negative and told me between pants that they were aspirants for the Olympic team. It was then I recog- nized Edward Thompson, Chester Kingsley and Claude Emerson. Thereupon, I again speeded up. Looking down at my gas gauge, I found that the arrow was nearing the danger point, so I stopped at an attractive stand at the side of the road. Who should walk out of the pink and green shack, but Freddy Wilkinson! After he had begun to turn the handle of the pump, (Freddy always did have a good wind-up) I looked around for another familiar figure. I soon spotted her—Mary Jane (you know—formerly Davis) was helping her husband, as a dutiful wife should, to make the stand a success by tieing red ribbons on the hot dogs. While servicing me, Fred informed me that “Prof” Baker and Helen Perkins were doing well with their chicken farm next door. “Prof.” is still “Perk-o-lating”, I see. I continued my journey, narrowly missing a couple of “Prof's” chickens as they cavorted across the road. Suddenly a mammoth rock bounded across the pavement in front of the car. I stopped and looked in the direction from which it came. Over the bank at the side of the highway strode a huge form which I at once recognized as that of “Ileb” Harrington. He told me that he, too, was in training for the Olympics (the shot put) and had been fortunate enough to get a job clearing a farm of rocks, so that he was receiving pay for training. I wonder if that's professionalism. Gradually the houses grew more dense and before long, I found myself in New York. After leaving my car at a garage owned by Ray Lynch, I sauntered out. I decided to spend the afternoon in a theater, so I made my way to a nearby show-house. But before I could reach the sanctity of its surroundings, I was accosted by a girl in a red dress, who was selling red poppies for the benefit of broken-hearted doughboys. As soon as I saw the red dress. I was immediately reminded of Virginia Van Wie. Sure, enough, it was she. By the time she got through with her sales talk, I looked like an advertisement for a florist shop, having bought twenty-one poppies. I finally got into the theater after arguing about the change with the ticket seller, Ethel Glass. Then an usher with red hair escorted me to my seat. Yen guessed it—it was Alice Henderson. I was just in time to see the start of the movie. “The Disappointed Sailor,” featuring Eddie Hyle, Hollywood’s latest heartbreaker, and Frances Church, the cinema’s find ’ of the year. The all-star cast also included several other former Baldwinsville luminaries—Dan Marshall, the “he-man” of the screen, Carlon Cook, the “man of a thousand faces” and David Clary, who is Jo E. Brown, Jimmy Durante and Bert Lahr rolled into one. After this splendid show was over, the stage lighted up and out of ji ?® 'v,ngs stepped Art Davis, Master of Ceremonies. His soft, clear voice fined the hall: “First on our program will be a song and dance featuring Dot Kellicott and her “Kapering Kuties.” His voice faded with the crescendo of the orchestra and in hopped Dorothy, followed by a long string of chorus girls, who were sprinkled 14 with several other former high school promenaders. In their ranks I spotted Olive Ilosmer, Adele Jones and Catherine Muldoon. The vaudeville was over all too soon and I got up to leave, as all there was , left was the news reel. But before I reached the end of the aisle, I heard a familiar voice coming from the screen. I wheeled about. Laura Dickinson, youngest congresswoman in Washington, was giving a talk on “Why 1 Think There Should Be No Tariff On Asiatic Mouse Furs. I sat down again and listened to Laura expound her theory. I then decided to see the rest of the news—perhaps I could find out something more about our famous class. I had not long to wait. On the screen I saw and heard the famous aviatrix, Frances Belknap, “Belle of the Air, who had just completed a non-stop flight from Paris to Syracuse, a suburb of the fast growing city of Baldwinsville. After coming out of the theater, I walked aimlessly down the street for a few blocks, looking in all the windows. Finally I came upon a crowd in front of a store. Evidently they were watching a demonstration of some sort. I, pushed and shoved my way to the front and there inside the glass window were Agnes Mowins and Lelia Smith, who were illustrating exactly how socks should be darned on the new Peach-o-Reno electric sewing machine. I watched for a few minutes and then I walked on. Soon I found my- self in front of “Ye Olde Booke Shoppe. Being an ardent reader, I stepped inside. Perhaps I could find an interesting story to read in my spare time. As soon as I crossed the threshold, two prim and very sedate young women came toward me. They recognized me immediately, but 13 was at a loss until one of them removed her horn-rimmed spectacles. Then I knew. They were the Orvis sisters! Yes sir, Laura and Margaret, in person. I nearly had apoplexy, but I managed to remain standing. After I had had a few minutes to recuperate, I asked their advice on a good book. They pointed to the year’s best seller, “Etty Kett Takes a Holiday, by Elizabeth Walter, the most popular novelist this side of the Rockies. I had them wrap up the book and then I left. I hailed a taxi and asked the driver to take me to one of the famous night clubs on Broadway. He suggested “Dopey Doc Sullivan’s Starlight Club. We were there almost before I caught my breath at this startling revelation of Doc’s whereabouts. No sooner had I stepped inside than I was besieged by two cigarette girls, Jane Henderson and Velma Crook, who fought over the right to sell me their wares. While they were pulling each other’s hair, I slipped past them into the dim lighted cafe. 1 spied Doc, half asleep as usual, in an easy chair. I sat down, woke him up and told him about my trip. He seemed quite surprised that I hadn’t heard about Philey Cooper. He was now, he told me, affiliated with the New York Yankees. He isn’t exactly a regular, but he runs around the bases for the old and decrepit “Babe Ruth, when he socks a home run. I “chewed the rag until early the next morning and then I left. As I walked across the dance floor, I saw a familiar figure gliding about to the soft, low music of the orchestra. It was James Reeves, one of the many gigolos employed by the Club. I passed the swirling couples and went out to the street. I stood outside the Starlight club and reminisced. I found that I knew the whereabouts of everyone in my class except Millard Blakeslee. Suddenly I was aroused from my musing by a pleading voice, “Gimme a dollar for a cup of coffee, will yuh, buddy? Turning about I recognized behind a three days growth of beard, the missing one, Millard. Naturally, I was surprised at his condition. Upon being asked, he informed me that he had spent his last cent trying to bring back prosperity. Nellie Lee Kittell and E. Stevenson. 15 SENIOR PLAY Story of the play: “Seventeen ’ a hilarious comedy, was written by Booth Tarkington. Willie Baxter, Seventeen, is ever trying to imitate Sydney Carton, the hero of “The Tale of Two Cities,” and hopelessly endeavoring to describe this hero to Johnnie Watson. His famous byword. “Ye Gods,” gives his Sydney Carton complex. Jane Baxter, Willie’s young sister, bothers him constantly. Lola Pratt comes to visit May Parcher. Genesis, the colored servant, and Willie go to town to get some second-hand wash boilers and as they return, Willie catches his first glimpse of Miss Pratt. lie falls in love and calls her his “Baby Talk Lady.” Lola’s endless talk and Flopit, her dog, annoy Mr. Parcher considerably. The Parchers give a farewell party for her. In order to look noble-like and make an impression on Lola, thereby getting ahead of Joe Bullitt, who is also somewhat in love with her, Willie wears his father’s dress suit without Mr. Baxter’s knowing it. His scheme proves useless as George Crooper, Johnnie’s cousin, comes to take Lola to the station, leaving Willie broken-hearted. As the play ends. Willie gives up his unusual ideas and promises his mother, Mrs. Baxter, that he will go to college. CAST OF CHARACTERS IN ORDER OF APPEARANCE Mr. Baxter........................

This colorful event was held at the Grange Hall, beautifully decorated in the class colors of silver and blue. Between dances everyone enjoyed The good music was furnished by a well known orchestra from Syracuse University, directed by Irv Orton. These smooth waltzes and snappy fox- trots were played from 8 o’clock until midnight. Velma Crook PARTING Long has the chain of time together bound us, A shining link each day; Long has life’s ebb and flow together found us. Loyal thru gold and grey. Now comes the time when links are broken, Perhaps forevermore; Fast flies the time, last words are spoken, Farewell to days of yore. But thru the clouds there still is shining, One sunbeam, just a smile, It’s golden light our love enshrining, For the great Afterwhile. C. Muldoon.

The orchestra, under the direction of Miss Roth, started the year iy.n-.i2, with the line record of having won three consecutive first prizes m the annual County Orchestra Contest. Dining the first term, they were given the privilege of playing at the unondaga Hotel, not to broadcast as some hoped, but for the entertainment o the guests. Shortly after this, an invitation was received for us to play at the dedication of the Fabius High School, which invitation Miss Roth immediately accepted. )VitJ? l!lis fine rec0l'd, Miss Roth decided, that instead of entering the n?l.Lly pontfst’ t0 enter the State Contest. This idea also occurred to Miss in nieCJ°r,?f the East Syracuse orchestra, always our closest contender ! Contest. So as not to have all the orchestras playing at one lYim dlvlded int0 sections in which preliminaries would be m ’ tke tour best orchestras to compete in the contest. Baldwins- f V nracsue ind Johnson City were the class B orchestras to play forcing- n pS °? 22nd. Again East Syracuse was our nearest rival, contes? wA Vm ? flace with the local orchestra. On May 7th, the fina th® order nr at.11G Crouse College in Syracuse.

Jack Shea. 32 PRIZE SPEAKING The Junior Prize Speaking Contest was held in the high school audi- torium on Friday evening, April 15, 1932. As a few more had tried out for the contest than usual the tryouts were much more interesting. Those who were judged best of those trying out were honored with speaking at the contest. Marion McCarthy with her recitation, “Tobe’s Monument” won first prize of the girls with Persis Hall, who recited ”As the Moon Arose,” as a close second. The declamation, “Story of Jean Desprez” won first honors for Jay Mercer; the second prize for the boys being won by William Bort whose selection was “The Bald Headed Man.” Others taking part in the contest included Dorothy Hotaling, Mildred Rich, Robert Hunter and Paul Powell. The judges of this contest were Mr. S. S. Kilkenny, Mr. W. E. Davis and Miss Marguerite Jones. The Senior High School tryouts, with only about one-half as many try- outs as last year, were held on Wednesday afternoon, March 22nd, the judges being Miss E. M. Roth, Miss P. Palmer, Miss I. Pike and Mr. H. E. Elden. The 4 girls who were judged best of the 16 trying out were Mar- garet Adsit, Mary Reddick, Barbara Gere and Frances Belknap; the four boys, Clayton Reddout, Burton Frawley, Charles Button and Bernard Fauler. The Bigelow Prize Speaking Contest was held on Frdiay evening, April 29th. The first honors were given to Barbara Gere, whose selection was “Annie O’Brien” and to Burton Frawley, who gave a selection from Daniel Webster's Address on Washington (1832) at the Centennial Anni- versary. The judges, Principal W. H. Powlesland of Syracuse, Mrs. J. C. Birdlebough, Phoenix, and Principal A. Y. Zogg, of Liverpool bestowed the second honors upon Margaret Adsit, whose recitation was “The Mallet’s Masterpiece” and to Clayton Reddout, who recited “Marc Anthony's Oration” by Shakespeare. Notable credit was given to Charles Button for his declamation on “The Foreign Policy of Washington,” Mary Reddick who recited “Ole Mistus”, Bernard Fauler whose selection was “National Honor” and Frances Belknap for her recitation, “The Rivals.” The two, Burton Frawley and Barbara Gere, who won the first prize of five dollars, were also entitled to represent Baldwinsville in the County Prize Speaking Contests. The Boy’s Contest was held at Jordan on Friday evening. May 6th, with our representative receiving the third prize. The Girl’s Contest was in our own auditorium on Friday evening, May 13th. Barbara Gere, who represented us, won second prize, the first prize being given Betty Campbell of Camillus. I’m sure that we feel proud of the students who are taking an interest in public speaking and hope that this fine work will be carried on through the coming years. Laura A. Dickinson. DRAMATICS This year we have had several very interesting plays given in our Assembly periods. Miss Roth, our director, has been untiring in her efforts to make these plays successful. “Squaring It With the Boss.” “The Trysting Place” and “The Two Bonny Castles” were among the plays given in assembly periods. At our Minstrel Show the play, “Her First Assignment” was presented. Characters were: F. Belknap. O. Hosmer, K. Ryan, E. Glass. M. Heagle, V. Van Wie, A. Mowins, E. Chaplin, L. Dickinson and M. J. Davis. “Whiskers” another play given at the Minstrel Show was later taken to Skaneateles and given in the assembly period there. Characters: W. Baker, N. Lee Kittell, M. Reddick, M. Parry, V. Milkowski, C. Reddout, M. Adsit, J. Henderson and C. Muldoon. 33 Jane Henderson. THE JOURNALISM CLUB The Journalism Club, which has expanded to some extent, is now in its second year of existence. Meetings of the club are held every ednesc in the library during the twenty-minute period. The club's chief aim was do a creditable job of editing the school paper, “The Crimson and Win e- Through the cooperation of Mr. Davis, of The Gazette, the members wei taught how to write heads, news stories, and editorials. The club membership numbers about thirty. In January election officers resulted in the following: President, Frances Belknap: Vice dent, Sam Watson: Secretary, Josephine Connell, and Treasurer, David Clary. A new board of editors for the “Crimson and White was also ap- pointed. They are as follows: Editor-in-Chief, Elizabeth Walter: Managing Editor. Maurice Carroll: Literary Editor, Frances Belknap: News Editor, David Clary; Exchange Editor, Edward Stevenson, and Alumni bditoi, Nellie Lee Kittell. David Clary. TO THE ALMA MATER As the years roll on, and they surely will, You’ll be fondly enshrined in my memory still. And though I may wander unto far distant shore. My thoughts will turn back to my school-days of yore. C. Muldoon. 34 THE GLEE CLUB Graduation made a heavy draw on the Glee Club last June. Miss E. Roth came on the scene and showed her efficiency by picking more members that were equally good with a little training, which she immediately pro- ceeded to give. During the first part of the year the Glee Club met and elected the officers for the coming year. They are as follows: President, Carl Connell; Vice President, Wallace Smallwood, and Secretary, Helen Perkins. On February 5th and 6th the Glee Club took part in the annual High School Minstrels, which were, as usual, a great success. A group of twenty-four were chosen to sing at the Senior Prize Speak- ing Contest and at the Girl’s County Contest, which was held in our own auditorium. This same group were privileged to sing at a concert held at Jordan on Friday afternoon, May 13th. During the school year the Glee Club sang in the Assembly programs, and also prepared a cantata for the Christmas program. We were asked to participate in the celebration around the Community Christmas Tree, by lieiping to sing carols. The members who sang at the Grange Hall at a Dairymen’s League Sub-District meeting on Saturday, February 27th, were greatly praised. On June 10th the Orchestra and Glee Club put on a concert which was a splendid success. To quote Miss Roth, “This year we have one of the finest Glee Clubs in the county.” Thus we think our Glee Club of 1932 has completed a very successful year. 35 Carlon Cook. TENNIS Tennis seems to be a growing sport in Baldwinsville Academy. The membership in tennis this year has surpassed that of previous years and more students have shown their interest in this sport. The preparing of t ie courts for the season was taken care of by members who volunteered to resurface the courts themselves. This year benches were also placed around the courts for spectators and players. i mee nuf’ was at which the dues were somewhat reduced from ast year This gave more people an opportunity to join the club. tor the past three years, ever since the club was formed, the interest in tennis has steadily increased. I think tennis should be made one of our League sports and should be given as much time and attention as base- wish f00tba11 because almost all can take part in it as players if they Let’s all boost tennis and try to make it a League sport in our school. Raymond Lynch. If 36 i 37 iili BASEBALL 1932 Answering the call for candidates about fifty came out from whom Coach Getman kept twenty-six boys lor his squad. The players from the previous year, still remaining were Baker, catcher. Frank Harrington on first, John Harrington on second, Wallace Smallwood at shortstop, Maurice Carroll cn third and Wilkinson, pitcher. With this lineup and Mowins, Dillenbeck, Bates, Reeves and Goodspeed, the school looked forward to a very successful season. After a little more than a week of practice, the team journeyed to Jordan, winning easily. The next Friday, May 6, however. Solvay dashed our championship hopes, winning on its home field to the tune of 11-3, mostly duo to Kinsella's fine pitching, or perhaps. Baldwinsville’s poor hitting. Smallwood and Gcodspeed were the only Baldwinsville men to score, Smallwood having a perfect day with three hits out of three times at bat, one hit being a home run. The next week Skaneateles was played, at Skaneateles and our team again lost by the score of 11-0. This game removed all chances cf a championship team, this year. The remaining games of the schedule were Marcellus, Camillus and Warners, in that order, in addition to the County schedule, the team met the Baldwinsville Kiwanis and the Liverpool High school teams, winning both of these games.

In the first year the checker team started off fine by winning the championship. The following year they didn’t do as well and the year following they were last when the season closed. For the season just ended they succeeded in climbing back to third place by settling down to business and showing some knowledge of the game. The chess team during their four years of play has always held a good position at the close of the season, although they have won the championship only once. The team this year, composed of nearly the same players as last year, didn’t succeed in retaining the championship that they had attained the year before. In the future, these sports should have some good teams to represent the school, for the younger boys are taking them up and arc quickly master- ing the art of these games. The players to win letters this year are: Chess—David Clary. Robert Hunter, Arthur Davis and Charles Durnin. Checkers—Clayton Reddout, Harry Corder, James Reeves and Lawrence Mills.

GIRLS’ BASKETBALL TEAM The girls’ team was new and inexperienced in the art of playing basketball. This is, perhaps, the best reason they can give for not winning any championship. When the season started, there were many new candidates trying out. The squad was not cut because the girls have only the practice time to play basketball. Only two girls, Mary Jane Davis and Josephine Connell, had played before and they were from last year’s second team. Both were very good forwards this year. The last week, before the first game at East Syracuse, suits were given to ten of the girls. Besides Davis and Connell, forwards, there were Bar- bara Gere, center, Laura Orvis and Ethel Glass, guards, on the first team. On the second team were: Virginia Johnston, Marion Adsit, Jane Wheaton.

GOLF At the beginning of the League season, the county was divided into two sections, namely east and west. In the western section are Baldwins- ville, Marcellus, Solvay and Skancateles; in the eastern are Fayetteville, North Syracuse, East Syracuse, Liverpool and Tully. Baldwinsville has attained an excellent record for the season, having won every game played thus far. The first, game of the season was with Solvay. whom we defeated 12-0. On June 4, Baldwinsville played Skaneateles at Skaneateles, and on June 11 we played Marcellus at Baldwinsville, thus winning the championship of the western section of the league. On June 15. the team played Vocational, the city champions, at Baldwinsville, winning by a score ol 10 to lVfc. There is only one more game to be p.ayed this season. This is with Fayetteville at Baldwinsville on June 18, and will decide the winner of the county championship. ,1r.„The mcmbers of the team are Frank Walters, Francis Russell. Frederick Wilkinson and Leon Russell. Francis Russell. I__ REVIEW OP FOOTBALL SEASON 1931 The football season from the point of games won and lost was the most disastrous in recent years. The Crimson was handicapped all year by injuries and while not offering this as an alibi, it did cut into the efficiency of the team. Solvay was the first to conquer Baldwinsville. On a warm Friday afternoon at Solvay the Crimson for the first time in three years was defeated by a county league team. The score was 6-0. The next week in a rainstorm the Crimson colors were again lowered. This time by Manlius to the tune of a 24-18 score. East Syracuse. Fayetteville, Skaneateles and Tully were victims of Coach Getman’s team before the last game was played against Marcellus. In the last game of the season the team had a chance to block or at least temporarily stop the march of Marcellus to the championship, since if she lost. Solvay would be tied with her. Marcellus proved itself a really good football team and again the colors of the Crimson and White were lowered. Winning four and losing three games Baldwinsville should not be ashamed of their football team. They played hard and fought clean and gave every thing. What more could be asked? This year. Maurice Carroll, the Crimson’s greatest athlete in recent years will leave school. The football team will miss him most. Besides Carroll the team also loses Smallwood, Connell, Baker. John Harrington and Cooper. However there is a strong nucleus left for a team next year. The following boys obtained block letters for their season’s playing: Maurice Carroll. Frank Harrington. Winston Baker. John Harrington, John Mowins, Carl Connell. Wallace Smallwood. Allen Lavoie. Wilson Wormuth, Dominic Bochino, Jack Bates, Robert Goodspeed. Julian Prahl, James Merriam, Clifford Crego, James Bishop, Payne Bigelow and Robert Berney. manager. 43 Frank Harrington.

INTER-CLASS BASKETBALL Although there was no close race for first place in the Inter-Class League this year, many students attended the games. The Junior team, led by Allen Lavoie, was perhaps the best team that the league has ever produced. They set up a remarkable record by winning all nine games. This has never been done before. The Freshman team was quite a disappointment. They failed to win a single game, losing every contest by a wide margin. The battle for second place was the only exciting part of the league race. The Sophomores held the upper hand during the first part of the season, but the Seniors, led by Cooper, finished ahead by a narrow margin. . The Juniors, coached by “Johnny” Harrington, included Allen and Oscar Lavoie, Milkowski, Willis and Glass, with Walters and Di lien beck seeing service in many games. Besides their league conquests, the Juniois boast of two victories over the strong Liverpool Reserves. They have set up a record for future teams to shoot at. . . . . «. The importance of the Inter-Class League cannot be stressed too highly. It is in this way that future high school stars are developed, Le s - courage the teams in the future, for a good class team means a good scnooi team a year or two later. Richard Sullivan. 45 ATHLETIC ASSOCIATION The Athletic Association, which was organized in 1918, is still main- tained under its original Constitution. The purpose of this association is to raise funds for the support of our athletics. The students are represented in a council which is elected twice annually by the members cf the Association. Professor Elden is chairman of this council. The members of the council for last semester were: . ' K-. .-v -• Seniors .... Nellie Lee Kittell and David Clary Juniors . Burton Frawley and Robert Birney Sophomores...................................Jack Bogdanoff Freshmen.................................... Jay Mercer Soon after organization a meeting was held for the purpose of electing officers for football and basketball. Those elected for football were: Manager, Robert Birney; Assistant Manager, Clive Rice; Cheer leaders, Agnes Mow ins and Jay Mercer. Basket-ball officials were: Girls Manager, Frances Weeks; Assistant Manager, Frances Farley. Boys Manager, Frank Harrington; Assistant Manager, Phillip Cooper. After January Regents a new membership was taken and new council was elected as follows: Seniors . . . Elizabeth Walter and David Clary Juniors . . . Virginia Johnston and Jane Wheaton Sophomores ...................... Dominic Bochino Freshmen .......................... Gates Hudson Because of the oncoming baseball season the following officers were elected: Manager, Wilson Wormuth; Assistants. David Clary and Payne Bigelow. New cheer leaders were also appointed. They were: Barbara Gere and Wilbur Smallwood. The membership this year was not up to standard, but considering the era of hard times the percentage was excellent. John Harrington. ATHLETIC BANQUET The Athletic Banquet was held December 5, 1931, in the Grange Hall. Only Senior High School students, alumni, and faculty were eligible to attend. i he dinner, served by the ladies of Methodist Church, was followed by the usual toasts. Charles O’Brien, our toastmaster, gave an opening speech, -5 .n 1,1 trod need Dr. Kratzer. Other speakers were Coach Getman, Mr. .' UmV1S aT?d lr E- E en- The most prominent speaker of the evening TT, Keane- the Oranges’ great track mentor, whose subject was Sidelights of the 1928 Olympics.” Then the block letters were awarded by Professor Elden. After singing the Alma Mater, everyone went upstairs to enjoy a few’ hours of dancing. The music was furnished by a well-known orchestra, 46 Norlynn McMullen. REVIEW OF ATHLETICS 1931 - 1932 Baldwinsville High School started the year as champions of the county, but was forced to relinquish both titles. The football team’s unbroken string of victories, which had extended over two years was broken last fall. Altho the team was handicapped to some extent by injuries and inexperience, the other teams of the county were uniformly stronger. The basketball team, with but one member of last year’s championship group, developed rapidly into one of the finest teams ever to represent the school. By winning fifteen of its seventeen games, it established a splendid record and lost only two contests, both to Solvay by narrow margins. The girl’s basketball squad without a regular member of last year’s team, did creditably, dividing the series with Warners and North Syracuse, but losing both games to East Syracuse in their abbreviated schedule. The baseball season is now underway and with two of the four games played, lost, the team very likely will not win a title. The season's record will, however, be creditable. For the first time in many years, Baldwinsville will have a track team which will compete against track teams from other schools of the county at Skaneateles. Considerable interest has been shown and it is hoped that the school will be well represented in this fine spring activity. It may be remembered that Baldwinsville High School won the last track meet held in the county, so really we are defending a third Championship of the year, and every effort will be made to retain this leadership.

For our days have been filled with purest joy. And our hearts have been free from care; It doesn’t seem that we can forget Why, it wouldn’t be really fair! For classmates dear, this many a year That we’ve played and worked together, Our thoughts and our hopes and our joys and our tears Have been shared with one another. O! I’ll love to recall in future days How each morn we would meet with cheer, And greet with a nod and a loving smile All that we held so dear. For school days are bright days Oh! Wonderful days in one’s life! And the glorious things more than recompense For the little there is of strife. Yet we'll pass them by with never a tear, To give place to the waiting band, And we hope that they'll love the things we've loved, That they’ll know and understand. Their friendships will be the sweetest joys That life will ever hold, And only those fully know their worth Who must leave the cherished fold. Then we’ll say, “Friends, adieu, don't be blue, just be true’’ And we’ll hope that when life is done, We'll meet on the shores of another land And be£Coree)e have been—one. O! I'll love How each And greeter, All that joys C.
