The whistle blew and I hurried up the gang-plank anxious to be off in the quest of my 1035 graduating class. As the ship left the dock I saw a small boat put off from shore and row frantically toward the larger boat and before long we had a new passenger. I craned my neck to see who it was and nearly fainted to see Marie Cook come parading down the deck (I honestly think that she will be late for her own funeral). While I was waiting for the steward to take me to my cabin. I started walking down the deck. As I lagged along. I saw a tall, prim lady mincing along with a caged canary under one arm and the Bible under the other. When I got closer I saw it was Avis Amerman (our Quaker maid). We chatted pleasantly for several minutes until I noticed the steward hesitating behind me. I suffered a dreadful shock when Leon Colling grabbed my bags and made a most ungentlemanly dive for the deck stairs but I managed to keep him within sight long enough to find my stateroom. When my bags were settled and all the excitement of leaving was over, I decided I would go to my deck chair and read until dinner. I was naturally interested in my neighbors and glanced to see whom I was sitting next to. On my right I found Mrs. George Sullivan (alias Jane Doran) and on my left Princess Barbara Adsit in sables. (She returned to her maiden name after her fourth marriage). So far, I had crossed out five class mates from my list. I went to my cabin to dress for dinner and as I left for the dining room I was almost knocked down by the cyclone usually following one, B. Z. Smallwood. It seems that B. Z. is now specializing in the sale of ladies underwear. I had the honor of being asked to dine at the captain’s table. The captain I soon found to be none other than our honored Allen Crego. Two lovely serving girls Jane Montague and Jeannette Wheeler tripped lightly around the table to take care of the guests. On a raised platform at the end of the room was a splendid orchestra, headed by the twittering robin, Wallace Connell. I glanced over the orchestra and was not surprised to see Robert Wilkinson and Carl Rice fighting over the bass viol. (They always find something to bicker about). To the music of all the twittering robinottes together (sometimes) six lovely follies beauties danced gracefully across the floor. The star was none other than Louise Lansing followed by Helen Crego and Rita McQuaid. The second number was the asthetic fan dance by its originator, Edna Hewitt. (This was received with much ap- plause). The third and last number was the fast dying trio. One bass (very low). Julius Caesar Cassa Mercer; one melodious tenor, Pee Wee Powell, and a lusty baritone. Stephen Reed. After this heart-rending program. I felt very sick and during my after- noon stroll on fleck found it necessary to make hurried trips to the rail. The next morning 1 felt better and decider! I would go for a swim in the pool. There were two guards stalking the. border oi: the pool, ami they seemed to be arguing. Soon our hero Gates Hudson, lost his temper and flung his antagonist. Edwin Smith, into the pool. Just about this time there arose the cry. woman overboard ! When the matter was investigated I saw tin bedraggled thing that fell overboard. It was none other than Helen CunlilTe. It. seems from the story that Helen had been trying to walk the rail and lost her balance. (They put her in solitary confinement the rest of the voyage). All this excitement at once was too much for me and I decided to spend the afternoon in the auditorium. There were to be several good speakers. The main speaker was Professor Marian McCarthy who spoke for 3 V hairs on. Me and the World. In fact the other speakers did not orate because she spoke so long. The two other speakers were Durrance Gilmore, whose topic was. How to Answer Quesions in History C.” and Frederick Brown, whose topic was. Yeah. I Think So Too. The champion tennis stars on board, at two o'clock the next «lay. played a fast and furious game. Payne Bigelow, the winner, surrendered the prize to Caroline Rowe who got tired on the second set. (What else could she do?) Let me see. I think we’ve been on the sea long enough. 0. K.. we'll dock the ship. We landed for several hours atCairo and I went on shore in the motor launch. As we neared the small pier. I saw se eral men diving into the water for pennies and when they came up, I saw that they were Harley Loveless and Charles Merriam. I threw' them a quarter and they almost drowned. Before we left, we took on two people. Funny they came together. They were Helen Bilyeau and Doran McManus. They registered as Mr. and Mrs. McManus so I knew that Dan Cupid had got them at last. Of all the ill luck. For two weeks after w'e left the port of Cairo, the ship was stricken with measles. Dr. Bratt and Dr. Kratzer found themselves extremely busy, holding their patient's hands and administering to their needs. Nurses Elva Glenn and Vera Haas, soothed many feverish brows and Nurse Jennie Granger kept their temperature charts. I believe the ship was hoodooed because the only cow on board gave bad milk and several pas- sengers got the streptococcus buy. However a native high priestess, Persis Hall, held council often and cured the cow. Before I left the ship for good two new passengers decided to get married. (I never realized ships w'ere so big). The wedding took place in the evening. The bride was Wilma Kingsley and the groom was Raymond Williamson. I w'as maid of honor and George Sawyer carried the ring. The bridesmaids were none other than Mrs. Ralph’ Bradway, Helen Peake. Millicent Russell. Helen Wagner, Mary Trexler and Alma Wilbur. The flower girl looked familiar. Funny I had seen that red hair before. Ah-ha. it was Forence Smith and her escort was Richard Hoffman. (Lucky boy !) The voyage was successful as far as my Senior Class was concerned but I haven't fared so well. Crossing the Abyssinian border, I was taken prisoner by Emperor Haile Selassie and now I am living on bread and water waiting for Mussolini to pay my ransom. [ Betty Vosburgh. SEMOR ACTIVITIES We. the 1935 Senior Class of Baldwinsville Academy, feel that our senior activities have been a success not only from a money standpoint, which is necessary to every senior class, but also from the standpoint of pleasure, which is essential not only to every senior class, but to every human being. The first project which the seniors advanced was the selling of candy. Every senior showed his or her willingness to add to the senior treasury by selling as many boxes as possible. As a result we feel that this project was a profitable venture. Everyone seemed to be such successful candy salesmen that we though it would be worthwhile to try our skill at selling stationery. The results exceeded all expectations. Every senior was able to sell at least one box, however, the majority sold more. A sport dance was held in the gymnasium of Baldwinsville Academy. Evervone turned out for this occasion. A grand time was had by all. As another pleasurable venture, a roller skating party was held at Liverpool. This was the second largest roller skating party ever held by a senior class. .......... The largest event of the season was our senior ball, held in the vmnasiuin Everyone came to dance, under a canopy of black and silver, to the music of -The Parisians. We feel that this was one of the finest senior balls ever held in the history of Baldwinsville Academy. The senior ball concluded the activities of the Senior Class for 19:55. We feel that the success of our class shows the power of an organized group. Milicent Russell. FACULTY INTERVIEW W. A. Getman. Science Teacher Favorite Food—Senior candy.

SENIOR BALL The Senior Ball, held May 17. was a great success socially. The committee, ably managed by Gates Hudson, instituted several innovations. In carrying out our color scheme, black, and silver were in evidence on every hand. A large canopy was made of streamers with a large ball trimmed with silver in the center. A hall way for admittance was made from the entrance of the gymnasium to the dance floor, by streamers hang- ing from the ceiling to the bleachers. Programs of appropriate class colors were given to each lady attending. Eddie Williamson and his “Parisians furnished excellent music throughout the evening.

HISTORY OF CLASS OF 1935 “All aboard,” shouted the captain of the ship “Education” one fine September morning when all the dignified seniors of today were merely little tots. Then shouts of laughter were heard from all sides of the campus, but today the young men and women are seriously preparing for graduation or for making their entrance into this world of joys, sorrows, success and failures. As we look back we can remember certain honors presented to members of this class of 1935 during grammar, junior and senior high schools. One of our number planted a tree on Arbor Day, another recited when parents came to call, others took part in Christmas exercises. But all this was long ago in Grammar school. In Junior High when we were the so-called “eighth-graders,” the American Legion presented Persis Hall and Stephen Reed with medals for scholarship, courage, leadership, sportsmanship and honesty. Some of us took part in the Junior Orchestra and Glee Club. Then, on into high school, (the beginning of the long voyage which is nearly over now), where we, the Senior Class of 1935, became freshmen. Because we were new hands on board at the art of sailing and also because the weather was rough, this first year will be lightly touched on. We pause only to report that Junior Prize Speaking gave us some honor in as much as Marian McCarthy, Persis Hall. Jay Mercer and William Bort won the oratory event. We also had a representative, Gates Hudson, in the Athletic Council. As our ship “Education” drifted on and we became Sophomores, the feeling of seasickness left us and we came downstairs to take our places. Our musicians boldly fiddled, blew, and pounded in the orchestra. We had a representative in the Athletic Council and quite a representation in the Journalism Club and even some on the staff. Then, as juniors, we were looked upon with more respect than ever before. Although we had had a few of our men in the athletic field in the previous year, we now had a delegation of which to be proud. We gayly took part in all the events, both social and scholastic. Now. as seniors about to say good-bye to all our good times, our ship- mates and teachers, we have nearly reached the harbor which opens into a rougher sea. We. as seniors, have enjoyed one year of undisputed power. All others looked up to us for an example, anil we hope we have given them a good one. Proudly we've watched block letters, a gold football and a gold hockev insignia being presented to our classmates. We've seen our members swell the ranks of the Glee Club and the Orchestra. Journalism Club. Athletic Council and Athletic Association. Our salutatorian made the trip in three and one-half vears instead of four. History prizes, essay prizes and prize «r aikin- hc'ped make some seniors wealthier young men and women. And last of all because all good things come lure, we nearly burst with pn.le when our valedictorian is mentioned, for she is graduating with the highest average ever attained in our school. Thus the Class of 1935 leaves Baldwinsvilie Academy to take its place in the world. Helen Lonergan. MUSIC BOX REVUE Adsit, Barbara Ammerman, Avis Baker, Mary Bigelow.
