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.

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.
