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.
