Worthy Juniors. You are about to step into the places vacated by the most illustrious, Senior Class of '34. We, in stepping out, make room for you. Treasure with care those valuable relics which you will use during the next year. Especially handle delicately the desks, cloak rooms and teachers. Be ye ever mindful of that most sacred honor, The Honor of the Seniors of B.H.S., to carry it forward, never once letting it drop or sink lower than the height to which we, The Seniors of '34 , have raised it. RICHARD RURY TO THE CLASS OF '37 To you who in the future will be seniors, we wish the best of luck. With three years ahead of you, you can accomplish much. Try hard to follow the Senior Class of 1934, and all of the classes before us. DOROTHY WILCOX CLASS WILL We, the Class of 1934, about to leave this place of learning, Baldwinsville Academy, and being in pos- session of sound mind and judgment, do hereby make, publish and declare this to be our last will and testa- ment: First: We direct that all our debts and expenses be paid by the Board of Education. Second: To members of the Faculty we leave our appreciation for all that they have made us do and all that they have kept us from doing. Third: To the Juniors who are now inferior to us we leave our rooms; and our kind and thoughtful teachers, Miss Wormuth and Miss Pike. Ralph Bradway leaves his intellectual powers to Helen Cunliffe. He knows she can use his faculty for doing geometry. Ellen Chaplin leaves Durrance. We wonder who will be the next lucky young lady. George Sullivan leaves his ability in political manouvering to Jay Mercer. Jay's got a good start. Ruth Townsend leaves her sneakers,—to the highest bidder. Charles English leaves his Cicero book to Payne Bigelow. We wonder if he'll ever use it? Barbara Gere leaves her extraordinary power of concentration and her faculty of not handing in all her lessons on time, especially French, to Persis Hall. James Aplin leaves his darkie dialect and English airs to his sister, Isabelle. How about it? Katherine Thompson leaves her wonderful gift of gab to Howard Kratzer. Don't misuse this privilege, Howard. Dominic Bochino leaves his smile to Miss Pike. That's a lucky break for you, oncoming Juniors. Rita McQuaid leaves her History B book to Bud Brov n. She thinks he's carried it long enough to de- serve it. Jack Bogdanoff leaves his place as concert meister to Louis Getman. You'll have to work hard now for a change, Louis. Dorothy Hewitt leaves Baldwinsville Academy to become a farmerette until Cliff grows up. Ralph Bratt leaves his seat on the school bus to Neva Hawley. It seemed to be big enough to hold them both this year. Will she have it alone next year? Virginia Tyler leaves her boy friends to Beverly Melvin and Ruth Maltby. Isn't that kind hearted of her? Jack Bates, one of our basketball stars, bequeaths a few feet of his surplus height to Gus Rowe, the future star. Jeannette Wheeler leaves her winning personality to Louise Lansing. Richard Rury leaves his arguing power to Lucy Ann Davis. She may need it to come back at some of her swains. Alice Price leaves her haven for different boys to Avis Amerman. But maybe Avis likes 'em steady. Carol Baker leaves his ability to pass exams to Tommy Turner. Use it, Tommy; you need it. Dorothy Wilcox leaves her walk to Marie McCann. Maybe that'll fetch 'em. Richard Bump wills his cigarettes to Barbara Adsit. Will she use them? Bertene Kelley leaves her v ild and woolley temper to Lisle Pickard. What a man he'll be now! Clifford Crego wants his bequest to be his basketball suit. To whom should it go? Flora Green leaves those burnished locks to June Farnham. Won't the color combination be great? Ralph Vaughn and Minnie Van Wie leave their petiteness to Gates Hudson. Won't Gates be thrilled? Martha Mercer leaves Guy Farnham to whom he may concern. Put on your thinking caps—or set your cap, whatever the case may be. Robert Browning leaves his feminine friends and also his ''shieking abilities” to be divided between Erwin Mathewson and Pint” Bort. Norma Snyder leaves her becoming grace and quiet manner to Catherine Voorhees. Ora Hunter leaves his car” to Bud Stafford. Don't blow yourself up, Bud, or kill yourself speeding. Vera Hayden leaves her seat in III to Robert Wilkinson. The smart ones always did get sent down there. Wallace Connell leaves his sling shot to Mr. Durgee. He always did get that man's goat with it. Jane A. Montague leaves her ability to collect boys—boys—boys, to Eleanor Griffith. We hope Eleanor likes it. Dalton Brooks leaves his ability for training hair to Robert Hunter. Jane Wheaton leaves her Junior escorts to the Senior girls of next year. Will Jane miss them? Richard Hoffman leaves that huge stride of his to Jane Bunney- -and what will she do with it? Jane Bennett leaves her glasses to any one that needs glasses in the Junior class. Grace Warner leaves her modest and dignified airs to Lillian Bell. Mildred Kellicott leaves her quiet ways to Hazel Furman, providing Hazel uses them right. Leon Russell leaves his sleepy appearance and aptness for playing golf to Palmer Bush. Do you think Palmer will be capable? Marion Adsit leaves her orange jacket to Florence Smith so that Florence will be seen in the crowd. That is, if the jacket doesn't cover her up. CLASS HISTORY The history of our class, like that of the former classes of Baldwinsville Academy, has been eventful. Of course, our first two years were less interesting than the two we are completing. Our class seems to hold the honors for scholastic ability for we have more official seniors than any previous class. Our valedictorian, too, has the highest average yet at- tained in the annals of B. H. S. and our salutatorian has the honor of having a higher average than any valedictorian of previous years. But we have not confined our efforts to school work; we have also had many par- ticipants in other school affairs. The first string basketball team this year with one exception was composed of seniors. We have also had representatives in all other sports. Three of the four Recreation Club leaders were from our class. The orchestra has claimed several of our Senior Class and a great many of us are in the Glee Club and Special Chorus. The first prize for girls in Prize Speaking this year was won by a member of our class as well as the second prize for boys. A high percentage of the members of the Journalism Club are also seniors this year. Many of our members are members of the newly created Dramatic Club. That, in conclusion, is just how we stand as we near the closing moments of our four years' race. We have excelled not only in school work, but also in activities out- side of the line of studying and we are now ready to leave high school with the feeling that we have contributed something to its good name. SARA KELLICOTT EDNA AMERMAN ♦ CLASS WILL (Continued from {preceding (mge) Reynold Smith leaves his Bookkeeping book to Francis Brotherton. His must be nearly worn out now. Frances Weeks and Jane E. Montague leave together. There is no separating them. John Mowins leaves his secret passion for athletic abilities to Leland Huntley. Well, I see where we win some games next year. Pearl Williams leaves her daily Post-Standard to Miss Wormuth so that she won't miss Pearl. Gardner VanDerveer and Edith Pickard both leave Baldwinsville Academy with the hope of seeing Erma more. Frances Neupert and Mildred Prior leave their ability as typists to Helen Ryan. Does Mr. Murphy appre- ciate this? Walter O'Brien leaves his ability for prize speaking and playing baseball to Eugene Nostrant. I don't believe he'd get far without them. Edna Amerman and Sara Kellicott leave as volley ball rivals—will either make anything of it? Jane Spillet leaves her quiet sternness to Breezie Smallwood. Will that balance? Myron Morehouse leaves his school girl complexion to any one of the needy girls in the Junior class. Just don't fight about it, girls. Glenna Connell leaves her Mae West airs to Loretta Lavoie. Janice Peake leaves her fragile form to Betty Vosburgh. Betty is getting that way fast. Frank Howard, like some other Seniors, has to leave his big Moment , Avis Amerman. Margaret Wagner leaves her natural curly hair to Marion McCarthy. Marion will have some leisure time now. Robert Adsit leaves his noted blond hair to Lester Ball, providing he keeps it combed. Grace Humphrey leaves her neatness to Adeline Patchett. Kenneth Bell leaves his pal, Lloyd Gibbons, to come to school alone when he is late. Norma Mills bequeaths her graceful walk to Peggy Harrington. Do you think you can handle it, Peggy? Jean Miller wills her shyness to Ernest Turner. Ernie needs it. Harriet Morehouse bestows her quiet ways upon Betty Wheeler. Does Bill got in on it, too? With apologies to anyone who is deserving of same, we, the Class of 1934, do seal, dated this twenty- sixth day of June, nineteen hundred and thirty-four, our will. ANN WEST MAUDE MARVIN MARGARET HEWITT CLASS PROPHECY On Friday, April 13th, in the year of our Lord, 1947, we were registering at the Waldorf-Astoria Hotel, Laving just returned from our fourth world cruise. As we were debating the question—to take suite 13 or not to take suite 13—we heard a familiar voice paginj, Governor Frank Howard calling Richard P. Rury at telephone 13. Scrutinizing the bellhop more closely, v e discovered our old friend and classmate, Pearl Williams. After inquiring concerning the cause of her presence in the Waldorf-Astoria in such undignified apparel, she revealed to us that her last disappointment in love had caused her flight to New York. Having congratulated Pearl on her ability to fool the public, wj hurried over to telephone booth 13 and waited outside for Richard. He appeared very glad to see us and in ormed us that he was now a senator from Iona Corners and at the present moment was attempting to persua-e the governor to remove the hump from the middle of the canal bridge back in Baldwinsville. After rela.ing his great successes, he asked us if he might be our host for the evening. We approved his suggestion of doing the Cherry's night club and stepped into his awaiting limousine, chauffeured by Ora Hunter. We glided away from the hotel and were soon speeding down Broadway. Suddenly a shrill whistle pierced the air and we slid to a halt. Trying to find the cause of the loud expostulations and general con- fusion, we glanced out and found that v e were the center of attraction; a burly policeman was threading his way toward us, embarrassing us by his familiari.y (?). To our astonishment, closer inspection proved him to bo none other than Walter O'Brien. He recog lized us and as he returned to his post to tell his part- ner, Myron Morehouse, we hurried on to enter Cherry's. We were spellbound by the massive revolving d- ors through which we entered, but more so when we saw that Ralph Vaughn was keeping them in motion. Richard Bump, the head host, hurried toward us in his full dress suit and showed us to a table, calling a waiter. A sudden exclamation from Dick Rury inter- rupted our conversation. We looked at him question ngly—he was completely wet! At the table behind him v as Dalton Brooks, trying to make a fern by an original trick with a glass of water. It was very evi- dent that he hadn't been successful. We heard a soft voice beside us inquiring v hat we would like and found ourselves giving our orders to Ralph Bratt. We had no sooner started eating tha.i a saxophone wailed out the first measures of Doin' the Uptown Lowdown and from the slowly rising curtain, v e gazed upon Barbara Gere leading a beautiful array of maidens including Jane Bennett, Flora Green, Sara Kellicott, Dorothy Wilcox and Jane Spillet. We really enjoyed their number and hated to leave them all behind. The next morning, we took off in our chartered plane. This, by the way, v as piloted by a second Amelia Earhart, Jeannette Wheeler. To our surprise, we arrived at Amboy safely and taxied to B'ville. W© thought that the old home town would probably be a flourishing metropolis by now, so we stopped at ihe Leon Rus- sell Farm to see if he could enlighten us as to the whereabouts of some of our old classmates. There we found Jean Miller in the role of Mrs. Leon Russell. They offered to lend us their hired man, Dominic Bochino, for the day to chauffeur us. We started off with the final warning not to forget the horning for Clifford Crego and Dorothy Hewitt (now Mrs. C. Crego) that e ening. Two of the guests of honor were to be Jack Bogdanoff and Ann West, who had been the best ma.i and the maid of honor, respectively, at the recent wedding and who were also considering matrimony. After our first glance, we decided that the name of Baldwinsville should be changed to 'The Deserted Village. Our old home town certainly turned out to be a sad disappointment. Passing through B'ville be- fore v e realized it, we soon reached Plainville. We never would have recognized the place except for the enormous sign which couldn't escape our notice: PLAINVILLE BOULEVARD SPEED LIMIT 40 MILES PER HOUR 10,000 INHABITANTS SNYDER-BRAYWAY, INC. More bewildered than ever, we stopped in front of a quaint little church to catch our breath. At Dom inic's suggestion, we called to the boy mowing the church yard to inquire where we might find a certain classmate; he turned at the sound of our voice and ran to the side of the car. Puzzled by the vaguely fa- miliar strut, we didn't recognize his face until he had informed us that Wally Connell had set up a branch of the J. E. Connell Stores down on 42nd Street. Gone was all the doubt—it was Charles English! Dodging it and out through the heavy traffic, we finally reached the business section. Finding the car a nuisance, v e drove into a garage to park it. As we got out of the car, who was there to take charge of Lizzie but Oscar Westfall. His red hair reminded us of another pal. We went to the desk to receive our parking ticket and were greeted by the one uppermost in our mind at that moment—Alice Price. Wo had just left the garage, v hen a bunch of pansies was thrust before us and a pleading voice said— Only a dime a bunch, lady! Behind an array of flowers was Jimmy Aplin, the person v e least expected to see. Attracted by a crowd farther down the street, we hurried on. We elbowed through to the front row and found Janice Peake demon- strating how the Grace Warner Cosmetics should be applied to give the Hollywood effect—Frances Neupert, as her example. Turning to find our way back out of the crowd, we bumped into Marion Adsit and Frances Weeks staring wide-eyed at every detail. Congratulating ourselves upon having seen so many of our old buddies, we decided that it was time for a little refreshment and stepped into the nearest restaurant. Here we found Grace Humphrey jerking sodas with Harriot Morehouse as her assistant behind the cigarette counter. We sank into the nearest chair and proceeded to order our dinner. Opening the menu, we found the special feature for the day was a duck dinner, so w© all decided to order this treat. After our first bite, we asked the waiter if fresh duck were always tough and asked where they were purchased. He infoimed us that they were fresh from Mowins' Duck Farm that morning. More disgusted than pleased, we went across the street to C. Baker's Bakery to get a sandwich. Carol seemed the same as ever and when he CLASS PROPHECY (Continued from preceding page) learned that we had no special program for the afternoon, suggested that we go to the Variety Theater, now owned by our class president, George Sullivan, and see the screen's most popular lovers, lane A. Montague and Gardner Venderveer, in Passion's Moment. We thought that this was an excellent idea, since we knew the main actors. Counting his paces back and ofrth in. fornt o fthe theater, was Robert Adsit, advertising the movie as though he were calling the cows. One of the first attractions inside was the line of doling gurl-ushers in their spangled costumes. Among these were Margaret Hewitt, Mildred Prior, Edna Amerman, Margaret Wagner and Edith Pickard. This was too much — we were too weak to thoroughly enjoy the picture. However, the cartoon, the Kelley Kellicott Kids, drawn by Ruth Townsend, revived our good spirits once more. We left the theater in convulsions of laughter. Going back towards Red's garage, the ringing of bells aroused our curiosity. Around the corner, we found Maude Marvin and Martha Mercer soliciting donations for the Salvation Army, while Virginia Tyler and Ellen Chaplin were guarding the money pot. As we stood talking over old times with the girls, some- one yelled, Look out below! We moved just in time to escape a pail of glue which fell down from above. We looked up and found Richard Hoffman and Kenneth Bell putting up a sign advertising Bond Bread, with Minnie Van Wie’s picture proving to us that one must eat one's crusts of bread to grow tall. Back at the horning party that evening, we discovered Robert Browning banging his drums above the noise; Jane E. Montagu© standing on kitten's tail and Reynold Smith singing the Prisoner's Song. Having accounted for everyone, we decided that we had better get some needed sleep. We wont to bed feeling tired, but very happy and satisfied about our old classmates.

DOROTHY HEWITT JANE BENNETT SENIOR BALL The Senior Ball was held in the gymnasium Friday night, May 25th, under a canopy of orange and brown streamers. The music was furnished by Norm Dillenbeck and his Aristocrats. A large crowd was present and danced from 9 until 1. There were eight patrons and patronesses as guests. The ball was very successful, both financially and socially. We owe its success to Ellen Chaplin, Robert Browning, Richard Rury, Barbara Gere, Mildred Prior and Janice Peake VIRGINIA TYLER KENNETH BELL SPORTS Football Basket Ball, Boys Recreation Baseball Hockey Track Golf FOOTBALL The Red Raiders of the Seneca came through the 1933 Football season with flying colors, garnering 7 victories and 1 tie. The first game found the Red Raiders traveling to Pulaski and engaging in a non- league tilt. The Pulaski boys were defeated 21 to 0. The second game initiated the league circuit and again found the Getmenites on the road invading Skaneateles. They took the Lakeshorers in camp to the tune of 24 to 0. The following week the team traveled once more, this time to Solvay where they were held to a tie, 7 to 7. The next game was the first home game of the season. The Raiders still in mourn- ing over the setback handed them by Solvay, whitewashed the East Syracusans 43 to 0. The Red Raiders again leaving the banks of the Seneca and traveling to Manlius, the home team were victorious, 6 to 0. The high spirited North Syracuse team who invaded the banks of the Seneca were sent home in low spirits as the result of a 20 to 6 defeat. The final brought a strong Marcellus team to B'ville. Again the Red Raiders showed their superiority by defeating the Marcellus boys 20 to 0. As a reward for the successful season the Red Raiders of the Seneca were given a trip to Liverpool where they engaged in a game with the highly rated Liverpool team. The game was played in the new Lakeshore Stadium. As a climax the defeat of the Lake boys to the score of 20 to 0, satisfied every member of our squad. The lettermen: E. Madden (capt. elect), Bates, Mowins, Bigelow, Gilmore, Gaylord, Bochino (capt.), Bush, Kiteveles, Hudson, Turner, Dunham, Martin, VanWie, Plunkett, Merriam, Navin, Smallwood, Crego (mgr.).

Winning from Marcellus, they lost to Skaneateles and Solvay. Then Baldwinsville seemed to find itself and defeated Jordan, Warners, and Camillus. Again Split Rock and Skaneateles were the stronger teams and beat Baldwinsville. The Crimson and White finished up the season by de- feating Solvay, Jordan, Warners, and Marcellus. Led by Captain John Mowins, the Baldwinsville quintet gained a position in the play- offs, beating Solvay, only to be squeezed out by Split Rock in a close battle that decided the championship of the Western Section. Mowins and Farnham, forwards, and Bates, center, were the only players with inter- scholastic experience in league play, however, Coach Getman added Crego and Sulli- van as guards and they, assisted by Smallwood, Bradway, Wilkinson and Rowe, formed a very strong team. During the season of 14 league games and 2 playoff games: Mowins made 113 points; Farnham 110 points; Bates 108 points; Sullivan 90 points; and Crego 40 points. Sullivan and Bates were tied for the honors for maximum points in one evening, each making 18 points in a single game. For the first time in the Onondaga County League there was a Junior Varsity team. The Baldwinsville Junior Varsity won about two-thirds of their games and thereby fail- ing to qualify for the playoffs. Among the players who starred in this league are: F. Sullivan, Bunney, Turner, Browning, Howard, Cole, Navin and Howland.

FRANK HOWARD BASEBALL Coach Getman's call for candidates for baseball, immediately after Easter vacation, was answered by about forty boys. Individually and collectively the squad was green as very few of the previous nine were present. Poor weather further handicapped the squad and they had only very few practice sessions before meeting Marcellus. O'Brien, Mathewson and Sullivan constituted the pitching staff in the initial game and throughout the season. Madden filled the vacancy left by Gaylord in catcher's post and the infield consisted of Bush, Smallwood, Smith, and Sullivan. Bump, Rowe, and Mathewson were the strongest part of the team, doing a good job of fielding. The team was not able to hold their opponents throughout the season and finished in the cellar of the league. The lettermen are: O'Brien, Madden, Sullivan, Bush, Smallwood, Bradway, Rowe, Mathewson, Bump, Smith, Farnham, Crego.

For the first time Hockey was recognized as a major sport. The begin- ning of the season found about 35 candidates seeking positions on the squad. William Stafford was elected captain of the team for the year with Dominic Bochino and Walter O'Brien as managers. The schedule consisted of 14 games and at the end of the season the team ended in a tie for fifth place in the County League which consisted of 10 teams. The following members of the team received their block letters: Cole, Bigelow, Stafford, Jay Mercer, Turner, Heineman, Brown, Peters, Madden, Dunham, Johnston, Gettman, Virginia, Green. R. E. Cary turned in a very creditable showing as coach of the team and next year it is expected that he will enter a more experienced and stronger team in the league. ROBERT BROWNING TRACK For the third successive year, the school will be represented by a Track team at the County Track Meet, which is to be held this year at Liverpool. Baldwinsville won the Track championship of the County in 1924. The sport was dropped until 1932, when we finished second in the County meet, last year tied for third place. The Track team is handicapped by lack of a track or measured course for practice or meets. The team has had one dual meet with Jordan High School, winning by a point score of 46-26 and capturing six first places in the eight events. It is hoped the team will make a creditable showing against the teams of a dozen other County schools, at Liverpool on June 9th. INTERCLASS BASKETBALL The Class of 1934 Interclass Basketball team, although not listed as the best team that ever represented a Senior Class, nevertheless made a favorable showing, giving the op- position many a tough battle. It was decided at first that on account of lack of material that the Seniors would not be included in the league, but after much persuasion and a great deal of enthusiasm, they finally were allowed to play. The Sophomores won the championship, the Juniors were in second place, and the Freshmen and Seniors were tied for third. The students as a whole, showed much more enthusiasm toward class basketball this year, and they were rewarded by witnessing many exciting battles. RICHARD HOFFMAN ROBERT ADSIT GOLF Due to the lack of veterans, the Boy's Golf team did not start off very well. For the first time the County League supported a Girls' Golf team. The girls won one game from Marcellus and lost to Solvay. There is still one game to be played which will decide the championship. Golf is a new sport in high schools and is becoming very popular. Baldwinsville has had a goodly share of the golf trophies in the past years. SOCIETIES Glee Club Athletic Association Journalism Club Dramatic Club Tennis Club Orchestra Prize Speaking Checkers and Chess PRIZE-SPEAKING Prize speaking is becoming more and more important in our school activities. The fourth Annual Junior Prize-Speaking Contest was held Friday evening, April 20, in the Auditorium. The participants, coached by Miss Pearl Palmer, were: Martha Sulli- van, Marjorie Myers, Katherine McCarthy, Dorothy Gettman, William Klasmier, Lester Ball, Howard Crego and Kirby West. The first prizes were awarded to Martha Sullivan and William Klasmier and second prizes to Katherine McCarthy and Lester Ball. The Bigelow Prize-Speaking Contest was held Friday evening, April 27, in the Audi- torium. The speakers for the girls were: Ann West, Barbara Adsit, Barbara Gere, Helen McNeill and Ellen Chaplin. Barbara Gere was awarded first prize but as she had received the award last year, she was ineligible for the prize this year. Barbara Adsit, therefore, received first prize and Helen McNeill second prize. Miss Gere, however, represented our school in the County Contest held at Skaneateles, May 4, and achieved the honor of second place among all the eight contestants representing the Western Division of Onon- daga County. The speakers for the boys contesting were: James Aplin, Frederick Palmer, Charles Palmer, Walter O'Brien and Louis Gettman. Frederick Palmer was awarded first prize and James Aplin second. The former, therefore, representing our school at Camillus in the County Contest and like our entry in the girls' division received second prize. Mr. Elden and Miss Roth were coaches of the boys and girls teams respectively. JEANETTE WHEELER PEARL WILLIAMS ORCHESTRA This year our Orchestra has accomplished many things and has done much to raise the standard of music in this school. The final event of the year was the spring concert which was unique in many ways. This year the Orchestra played at Canastota and there a program was given which required much skill upon the part of the performers as well as our directors. The next major concert took place at Lincoln Auditorium when the Orchestra played before the Chamber of Commerce of Syracuse. The Orchestra also played for several school func- tions such as P. T. A. meetings, Prize Speaking, Minstrels, Assembly programs and the Senior Benefit. Miss Elizabeth Roth, Mrs. Ethel Connell Phoenix, and Mr. Silvia deserve much credit for the time that they gave willingly to help this orchestra. The spring concert took place on June 8, 1934. At this concert a program was arranged which was comparable with that of any symphony. Five concerts were given which were comprised of a piano concerto of Grieg, violin concerto of Mozart, French horn concerto by Franz and a 'cello concerto of Pierce. The remainder of the program included num- bers by the Orchestra, Glee Club, violin and wood wind ensembles. In conclusion I would like to say, as a member of the Orchestra, that I know the Orchestra will continue to do the good work which it has done this year. JACK BOGDONOFF GLEE CLUB The Glee Club, although handicapped by the loss of a few members, was reinforced with many new voices. Miss E. M. Roth, as leader of the organization, ended her twelfth year successfully. At a meeting of the Club in September James Henderson was elected President of the organization. As usual the Club took part in many activities during the year including the Minstrels and the Cantata for the Christmas program. As a fitting conclusion of a successful year the Glee Club assisted in the Annual Orchestra Concert on June 8. THE JOURNALISM CLUB The Journalism Club has concluded its fourth successful year, by accomplishing with creditable results the editing of our school paper, the Crimson and White . The Club has initiated eleven new members, making the total enrollment twenty-nine. The Club has been fortunate in obtaining as their speakers such personalities as Mr. Elden, Mrs. Lower, Mr. Leader, Mr. Davis and Mr. Lonergan. Editors for the first semester were: Editor-in-Chief, Barbara Gere; Assistant Editor, Marion McCarthy; Managing Editor, Robert Berney; Assistant Managing Editor, Jay Mercer; and News Editor, Martha Mercer. The Editors for the last half were: Editor-in- Chief, Martha Mercer; Assistant Editor, Marion McCarthy; Managing Editor, Jay Mercer; Assistant Managing Editor, Thomas Turner; News Editor, Eleanor Griffeth. The officers from September to January were: President, Grace Hamlin; Vice-Presi- dent, Martha Mercer; Secretary and Treasurer, Jane A. Montague; from January to June: President was Martha Mercer; Vice-President, Kathryn Thompson; Secretary and Treas- urer, Guy Farnham. MARTHA MERCER ATHLETIC ASSOCIATION The Athletic program of the Baldwinsville Academy is regulated by the Athletic As- sociation, which in turn, is directed by the Athletic Council. Members of the Council are elected by popular vote of their fellow students. The Council for September to January, 1933-34, consisted of Jack Bogdanoff and Martha Mercer as representatives from the Senior Class, Wilbur Smallwood and Jack Bates from the Junior Class, John Crego from the Sophomore group and Frederick Sullivan as a Freshman representative. The Council featured the Athletic Banquet which was held at the Methodist Church on December 6, 1933. Coach Hanson of Syracuse was the principal speaker of the evening and the block letters and sweaters were awarded to the 1933 Championship Football Team. This same council raised Hockey to a major sport by a unanimous vote of all the Council members. The Second Council of January to June, 1934, was composed of Ellen Chaplin and Clif- ford Crego from the Senior Class, Gates Hudson and Carl Rice from the Junior Class, Guy Farnham as a Sophomore representative and Frederick Sullivan was re-elected by the Freshmen. The funds to carry on the work of the Athletic Association were raised by the money collected from the sale of season tickets for all the major sports and membership dues. These funds were used to purchase block letters and defray expenses of keeping equip- ment repaired and the occasional purchase of additional material. RALPH BRATT When Doctor Getman answered he found Sully in tears. Cheer up, my good man, said Doc, you'll pull through. It isn't that, Doc, groaned George, but just think of all the money I've spent for apples to keep you away. Ruth: Well, how did you like the Senior Banquet last night? Sara: Not at all.” Ruth: Why, wasn't the food good? Sara: Yes, very good---but I sat next to Prof. Elden, who squinted and he ate off my plate all the time. TENNIS The Tennis Club has again been open to students. Although no tournaments have been held as yet, it is expected that the Tennis team will make a good showing. New memberships have come in this year, the fees being one dollar for girls, two dol- lars for Senior boy members and one dollar for Junior members. All girls have limited privileges. DRAMATIC CLUB On December 14, 1933, the Baldwinsville Academy Dramatic Club was organized. Primarily its purpose was to promote an interest in dramatics in the school and to provide, to a certain degree, assembly programs during the coming year. The Club had an original enrollment of about 64 members. At its first meeting the following officers were elected: President and Student Coach.....................1...James Henderson Production Manager...................................Dalton Brooks Stage Manager..................................................Jay Mercer Secretary ...................................................James Aplin This year the Dramatic Club has been responsible for several productions including, About Candlelight Time , Friday For Luck , Not a Man in the House , and the two Minstrel plays, Almost Trouble , and Freezing a Mother-in-Law. This newly formed organization was called upon to supply talent for the annual Minstrel Show in February; with few exceptions the cast for this production was entirely taken from the ranks of the Dramatic Club. Highlights of the Club's social activities are the St. Patrick's Dance, held in the gym on March 17, food sales, and a party held in the school on June 1 for the members of the Club. Altogether this newly formed Club has been very prominent in school activities. In- deed, most people think it has been an extremely satisfying year for the Baldwinsville Dramatic Club. The Class of 1934 congratulates the Club and wishes it all possible success in the future. JAMES APLIN CHESS AND CHECKERS When the call for candidates for Chess and Checkers was made, a goodly number of players signed up for Chess but there seemed to be a lack of interest in Checkers, as evidenced by the number who tried out. After the Round Robin was played, Ora Hunter and Robert Hunter achieved first and second places respectively, while John Mawhinney held third place, with George Sawyer and Frank Howard alternating in the fourth position. The Chess team lost but one game all season, that one being to East Syracuse, thus gaining a tie with East Syracuse for the Championship, who also lost one game, that being to Marcellus. In the playoff East Syracuse proved to be the stronger, winning 5 to 3. Payne Bigelow assisted by winning all his games in the playoffs. The Checker team started well by winning their first game, 14 to 2, but in later con- tests failed to maintain this standing. Warners won the Championship by not losing a game all year. For Checkers, Frederick Peters, Lillian Bell, Francis Wheaton, Merton Glass and James Klasmier received letters. Next year and the years to come we hope that an increasing interest for Chess and Checkers will be shown. ORA HUNTER RECREATION CLUB The Recreation Club under the supervision of Miss Mae Forrest and four leaders, Marion Adsit, Maude Marvin, Jane E. Montague, and Margaret Orvis, has proved to be a successful activity for the high school girls. Each leader has a team which is represented by a letter R in the colors of the team. Among the various activities of the Recreation Club were the volley ball matches which were played by the girls as a preliminary to various of the home basketball games. The Recreation Club held their farewell party in April to close their season. At this time the girls presented a gift to Miss Forrest to show their appreciation for her interest in the Club. The Senior girls wish Miss Forrest the best of luck with the Recreation Club next year. FLORA GREEN BERTENE KELLEY 0 SENIOR ACTIVITIES As money is one of the necessities of life so it is also a necessity of the Senior Class. We of the June 1934 graduating class may consider ourselves successful in our efforts to raise money this year. Our first attempt to obtain funds was the sponsoring of a dance following the Skane- ateles basketball game. The next money we earned was the proceeds from selling candy. This proved so successful that several shipments were ordered and disposed of in record time. A dance sponsored by the Senior Class was held in the gymnasium April 21, and this also added to our funds. An entertainment consisting of two one act plays and selections by the High School Orchestra and Glee Club was held in the auditorium on May 9. This, too, was successful from both the financial and entertainment point of view. On May 8 we held a card party in the library, which again proved a successful undertaking. The annual Senior Ball was held in the gymnasium on May 25. The proceeds added greatly to our treasury. The Senior Play concludes the Senior Activities for this year. From beginning to end we are proud of our record as an organized group.
