O’Brien, the town’s gayest bachelor. Dancing lias become very popular; Ethel Parry and Edna Dunham conduct a studio teaching adagio dancing. Isabel Aplin, Marjorie Myers and Robert Henderson are enrolled in the classes but they just can’t seem to get into the spirit of the thing. Cather- ine Voorhees and Russell Virginia have spent twenty years at Long Branch, engaged in a dancing marathon. Another happily married couple is Elizabeth Dawlev and Charles Peters, (just to keep up a family tradition). Perhaps I was most surprised when I wandered down to Kiwanis Park and found a one-hourse circus there. Allan Dunham has started in competition with “Barnum Bailey”. His featured stars are Norman Kingsley, the strong man, and Helen Thompson, the snake charmer. Betty Alenn’s livery with the motto, ‘‘back to the horse” is engaged in a struggle to the death with Bond’s Taxi Ser- vice. Robert Morebous is tired, but happy. His whole aim is concentrating (and had been concentrating for twenty years) upon the project of building up the hamlet of Ly- sander until it rivals Baldwinsville. Already the population has double because Dorothy Gettman, Jeanne Gere and Lewis Johnston have moved out there to get away from it all. I was left limp absolutely limp, by the changes that had taken place during my sleep. Sleep, that’s an idea, and I de- cided that the best thing I could do would be to get some. So—1 headed for Whiskey Hallow, accompanied only by my coon dog and squirrell riflle. As I turned a bend in the dusty road, I saw a small brown jug. MICHAEL SAWYER JAMES PARRY. ----0O0---- 11

Class Will We, the dispersing class of the year of our Lord 1937, do hereby on this 22nd day of June in our right state of mind create, institute, and divulge the following bequests, requests and inquests, after much consideration, reconsideration and cautious deliberation. Onethly: We do bequeath to our respective heirs or bene- ficiaries, namely the Juniors, Sophomores, Freshman, and the Guardians of the precedingly named, commonly called the Faculty, in joint possession all such wisdom as we may have acquired. Twotliv: We promulgate the idiosyncrasies of the Seniors, who in our midst have certain traits known to all and who wilfully do leave these one and all to the following: Betty Allen leaves her retiring manner to Lincoln Bissell, who we think, needs a “little” retiring. Bernadine Bartnikowski leaves her Lily Pons voice to Kate McCarthy. We think you’re got something there, Kate! Boh Bond’s ability to mutter just low enough in class is left to Leon Messenger—Leon has the same trouble about being- heard. Isabel Aplin would leave her motherly manner, lmt we feel that she’ll nod it for her oncoming marriage. Kenneth Neupert leaves the remaining four (4) pages of his geometry book one (;1) for each year to Ellen McQuaid— Are you going to increase the number, Ellen? Kirby West leaves his stored-up divots to Mr. Cary, who will dish them out to the members of the golf team as he sees fit. Tearfully, Eugene. Nostrant tears himself away from Marion Walker. Carmella Cenci leaves her exotic interpretation of the Spanish dance to Flora Grome. Frances Clark leaves her own original coiffure to Ruth Cooper. Bowman Crego leaves Baldwinsville Academy for the farm. Elizabeth Dawley and Irene Sprague leave quietly. 13
