Charles W Baker High School - Lyre Yearbook (Baldwinsville, NY)

Text from Pages 1 - 38 of the 1938 volume:

THE DEDICATION To Mr. Elden we dedicate this, the 1938 Lyre. For, as far back as we can remember, back to the days when we ran to the corner to walk with the Principal, you have been with us. We accepted you as part of the school, as much a part of it as the bell or recess. We never even so much as thought of school without you . . . for you have helped us grow up, — plan our courses. You have always been ready to advise, congratulate, or straighten out our petty difficulties. And now, this June you are to leave. School without Mr. Elden will seem like geometry without triangles. The members of the Senior class are happy that you chose to graduate with us, and the whole student body, who will miss you greatly, wishes you a happy retirement.

Although we might have been sceptical before, the list of official seniors and the regents marks have finally con- vinced us. Once again a senior class of Baldwinsville Academy is ready to receive its diploma and face the outside world. In Sepiember 1933, the proud graduates of the North and South side sixth grades united to form the seventh grade of Baldwinsville Academy. This was the beginning of the present senior class. The North and South sides looked at each other with curiosity and finally agreed that each would do. Throughout the seventh, eighth, and ninth grades, the class earned the reputation of being the most quiet class in the school. Some teachers even ven- tured to say that we were too quiet, since answers could be heard in only one corner of a room. If the sometimes distressed faculty could only have looked ahead, they would have seen that we were saving our vocal chords for the senior year of 1937-1938 when our oft repeated password be- came HELP THE SENIORS, sometimes heeded and other times unheeded but never because of our inability to speak loudly. During the years leading to our Senior year, we did as every other class has done. Some of us: Joined the Athletic Association: Elected officers to the Athletic counsel: Went out for junior and senior prize speaking; Joined the Glee Club; Join- ed the Recreation Club; Went out for the many athletic teams; Joined the school orchestra; and attended the Athletic banquet. I have passed over these early years in order to do full justice to the senior year. In October, 1937, the senior class made history by electing temporary officers and an advisor for the class. To these officers and our advisor we owe much of our success both moral and financial. To them was given the task of winning the support of the class and planning methods of raising money so that by January we would not have an empty treasurer and a desolate feeling. Events were planned with whirlwind rapidity. A senior meeting was called nearly every week. Our motto and slogan became: For us — DON T WAIT; For others —HELP THE SENIORS! We had two successful food sales, one at the Corner Pharmacy and the other at Howard s Store. After almost all of the basketball games we held sport dances. These were successes both socially and financially. A senior candy committee was appointed to see that senior candy was sold whenever and wherever possible. A pencil committee was also appointed. Proud seniors could be seen in the halls clutching a dozen varied colored pencils in one hand and their assign- ments in the other. Finally that long awaited and dreaded day arrived. The official and unofficial senior list was published. No time was lost in calling a senior meeting. Official officers and an advisor were selected. We had a good financial start and hope in our hearts. Still more money-making events were proposed. Although every senior, both official and unofficial, without exception, worked tirelessly, our bank balance crept upwards very, very slowly, almost like the hands of time. Seniors put on a new face with a strained expression which said more plainly than words, What shall we do? Our goai was a good Lyre, the best one yet. lie artistic and industrious members of the class made striking posters with the never-far-away motto: HELP THE SENIORS! A series of private card parties were planned for Ihe benefit of the class. After election of officers a ring committee was appointed to interview the representatives of jewelry firms. Our class ring, flower, and colors were chosen after much deliberation and care on the part of the seniors. The class elected an editor-in-chief for our year book and she appointed her staff and the various committees of writers for the book. The Senior Ball was held April 20th. Under the direction of the committee and members of the class, our stonewalled, high-ceilinged gym was transformed into an Hawaiian beach. This gala event of the Senior season is a memory that will be cherished by all who danced to the plaintive music of the Aristocrats. A senior play committee with the able support of the director selected the play. Tryouts were announced and would-be Thespians tried out for the honor of being in the play. After much care and deliberation on the part of the judges, the cast was announced. Besides working hard to improve their financial standing all seniors had to concentrate on their scholastic activities. Many harrowing hours were spent by all worrying about regents and commence- ment. The day has arrived, as it has done in each preceding year. We, the Senior Class of 1938. have tried to profit by the mistakes of others, for we have learn- ed one of the reasons for studying history is to profit by the mistakes of others. This we have tried to do in order to make our class and year book outstanding events in the annals of B. H. S. history. Last but not least we want to thank the faculty and all our friends who have helped us so unselfish- ly in making the history of our class. RUTH COOPER CLASS WILL We, the Class of 1938, being in a poor state of health after completing our courses at Baldwinsville Academy, feel that it would be best to make our will before it is too late. Being of sound mind and memory we do hereby write and publish this, our last Will and Testament. We leave our not-too-comfortable seats in Room 107 to the Junior Class. Bless their little souls, — we hope they will treat them with respect. Because we wish to be remembered by those we leave behind, the following personal gifts are to be distributed. June Dunbar leaves her yellow locks to John Nostrant. We feel he'll need them in a couple of years, as his hair is thinning rapidly. Leland Rice wills his height to Raymond Lee. Now maybe Raymond can find a seat in study hall that won't hang him. Roland Lavoie leaves a request for softer chairs and more books in the library. Virginia Pierce bequeaths her smile and inces- sent giggle to cheer up the bleak halls on the third floor. Joyce Baker wills her clear alto voice to the Glee Club for Miss Roth to dispose of it as she sees fit. Elaine Merriam leaves her well-used joke book to Mary Curtis. Jack Bunney wishes his moody disposition to be left to the over-optimistic sophomores. John Leyburn leaves Clara Mae Bowers to the Junior class. Royden Smith bequeaths his abundant supply of blushes to Mrs. Cussler. James Klasmier cheerfully wills his nickname Jamsey-Wamsey to James Weeks. Marian Fravor leaves her ability to create original coiffures to Billie Brown. Nancy Bigelow regretfully leaves the Crimson and White. Don Beebe bequeaths his cheerful disposition to Don Coates. Franklin Townsend, better known as George, leaves his geometry book in a special glass covered case to be regarded with much respect. Lewis Virkler wills his flowered shirt to Leo Brown. Now Leo can wear his striped tie to ad- vantage. Robert Nostrant leaves with a French accent. Ken Neupert bequeathes his gentle ways with wimmen to Glenn Goodfellow. Heaven help the poor girls!!! Rae Louise Laque leaves her willingness to co- operate with the teachers to Virginia Mount. Vir- ginia could certainly use this in English IV. Margaret Zahn wills her typewriting and steno- graphic ability to Miss Pike so she can type the students' essays. Stanley Minnoe leaves his graceful glide to Robert Luce. Not that it'll be any improvement. Marian Furbush leaves for the farm. Fred Pulver wills his optimistic attitude especially towards Senior projects, to the Board of Education. William Currie and Merton Glass bequeath their Kandid Kameras to Mr. Murphy to be given to some needy member of the Kandid Kamera Klub. Fred Palmer leaves his prize speaking voice to Norma Ostrander. How can the teachers help but hear her now? Janis King bequeathes her acting ability to Simon Simone. Lois Amerman leaves her violin to Robert Emer- son. Emmy got kinda tired of holding up the bass viol. Howard Crego wills his collection of girls to be raffled off among the freshmen. Edna Dunham wanted to leave her History C book to someone, bul no one wanted it because they said it was hoo-dooed. Adrian O'Brien wills his South Sea Ballroom dancing to Robert Storm. Leopold Meier leaves his vehement, vociferous, and volcanic personality to Walter Furbush. Harry Shriver leaves a trail of broken hearts. Phyllis Long bequeathes her aptness at square- dancing to Donald Flaherty. Alice Montague wishes her spare typing paper to be left to Miss Pike's study hall so the students will have sufficient paper on which to write notes. Lorefte Lavoie wills her white saddle shoes to Helen Haye. Mary Squires leaves her volley ball to Helen Gaylord. Everett Heagle refuses to will anything. He in- sists on faking all he has with him. Art Shea wills his ability to stick to B. H. S. to the end to Jane King. Meda Cole bequeaths her ability to concentrate to Harlan Hudson. Leonard Socia leaves his artistic drawings to Mrs. Griffeth to be hung up in the front of Ihe drawing room. David Wright leaves his car to be used for driving Candid Cameramen about. Helen Magee and Erwin Mathewson leave — together. Mary Jane Mawhinney leaves her sunny smile fo Connie Connell. Ruth Cooper leaves her love for Latin and Room 2 to John Nostrant. Jane Puiver bequeathes her trunk size purse to Helen Hurley to be used as a book bag. Joyce Wedlock wills her ever increasing collec- tion of home-made sweaters to Grace Flatt. Now Grace can save her silk dresses for Sunday. Rita Squires, who has never once skipped school, wills this amazing record to Mike Tarnow. Wonder if the shock of being in school everday will kill him??? Elizabeth Lobdell bequeathes her demure, lady- like ways to Doris Towers. Maybe she can make use of them. Jennie and Irene Brand leave their sisterly love to Frances and Jean Donahue. John Navin leaves his title The Singing Milk- man to Don Coates. Marvin Hay wills his unwillingness to cooperate in Guidance Class to Jane Thompson. Dorothea Rowley leaves her irresponsible actions to Robert Dow. Barbara Northrup leaves her surplus weight to Marjorie Tukey. Marian Walker leaves to join her boyfriend, Gene. Alice Patchett wills her shyness to Marjorie Gere. If Marjorie makes use of it, 106 will no longer be in an uproar. Helen Thompson leaves her brother, who will have the distinction of being the last Thompson to graduate from B. H. S. Daniel Grome leaves his red haid to Mr. Get- man. Now maybe there'll be no more traffic jams in the halls. Kenneth Staring takes his leave of Mrs. Cussler who, no doubt, will find her Trig class rather quiet next year. Betty Mahoney leaves her ability to keep out of the background to Betty Potter. Now perhaps more people will know who Betty Potter is. June Bilyeu leaves her taste for baseball players to Betty Koegel, who really doesn't it. She already has the captain. Rex Thompson bequeathes his curly hair to the junior class girls. Now they won t have to spend money on permanents next June. Augustus Greene wills his ever ready smile to the Ipana Company. They can make use of it. The Old Tooth Paste Smile! Mary Jane Harrinton bequeathes her expressive come-hither eyes to Betty Foster. June Dunham leaves with the song There's Something About a Soldier on her lips. William Bye leaves his position as pin boy at the bowling alley to Robert Currie. Josephine Shuba leaves to become a career woman. Merrill Rowley leaves Lewis Virkler. Katherine Heron leaves her pal Mae Merrifield. Frances Skinner wills her nickname Skinny to anyone who'll take it. Lastly we will make apologies to anyone who wants them. In witness thereof we do hereby subscribe our name, the twenty-seventh day of June, in the year of our Lord, one thousand nine-hundred and thirty- eight. SENIOR CLASS OF 1938 Witness I—Ellen McQuaid Witness II—Eleanor Howard PROPHECY OF THE CLASS OF '38 This is our prophecy for the members of the graduation class of 1938. We are looking ahead about twenty years to about 1958. We have no idea of what you really will be doing, but we wish you happiness and success. Try not to forget good old Baidwinsville High School too quickly. Last night was the last hockey game of the major league. The New York Ramblers maintained their reputation as an excellent team. But, why shouldn't they; with Shutout Beebe as a goalie, and Killer Leyburn as the smashing last defense, any team would be good. I noticed George Townsend down in the penalty box guarding the door and keeping time. I hear that he was in the box so much that they finally gave him the job. Who do you suppose was coaching this team? The great Bub Smith, of course. I noticed that he still blushed beautifully when the photomen of Glass and Currie asked him for his picture. You all know how the traffic jams up after a big game. Well, we had none of this because we had Jim Klasmier on the job. By the way, I forgot to tell you about some of the great celebrities I saw at the game. First of all, there was that great pocket billiard champ Willie Hoppe Minnoe. Then there was the editor of the New York Sun, well known because she is the only woman editor in New York City, Nancy Bigelow. With her, was the famous Alice Mon- tague, author of the Heart Throb column of the New York Times. I also saw the mayor of the city, Charles Greene, with his chauffeur, Merrill Rowley. Augustus Greene, the well known dramatic star, was there with some of the members of the cast of his last play He Who Laughs. I nearly forgot those two well-known violinists in the New York Symphony Orchestra, Lois Amerman and Joyce Baker. Nor can I neglect to mention Robert Nostrant, the second Clark Gable. As usual he was stormed by girls. This speaking of last night’s game brings to mind many other famous athletes among my early ac- quaintances. At present I think of Jack Bunney, the tennis star. He has just won fame by capturing the international tennis championship. Also, there is the Olympic star, William Bye, who set a new record for the twenty-six mile marathon. I don't want to forget the roiler-skating champ. Edna Dun- ham. Few people realize that it was Everett Heagle who introduced the Fox hunt to the American people. Only the other day, I saw him just mount- ing a horse to start on a hunt. Speaking of sports- men, I read in the paper this morning that Kenneth Staring has been appointed head game warden of New York State. With baseball starting up again soon I suppose that we will soon hear of the great left handed pitcher on the New York Giants, Louis Lefty Gomez Virkler. Last, but not least in this illustrious list is David Wild Man Wright, the present holder of the World's speed record for stock cars. It was about I :00 A. M. when I left the hockey game, the moon was out and it was rather cold but I decided to walk home. Approaching the park, I saw a bench and reclining upon this Marvin Hay was snoozing away just like a child. Just as I turned a corner a loud blast of music struck my ears and I looked up at the lighted sign and read: Tonite — Grand opening — Dancing team of O'Brien and Howard — Rex Thompson and his Swing Band featuring Dorothea Rowley — $2.20 a throw. I decided to go in for a few minutes and there was Josephine Shuba ready to take my hat the minute Daniel Grome, the doorman and bell- hop, opened the door for me. At the first table sat Meda Cole, designer of Paris style, and June Dunbar, model on 5th Avenue, talking over their trade while their escorts, Howard Crego, the great Crego Tractor magnate, sat puffing on a big cigar across the table from Ken Neupert, model for men's clothes, dressed perfectly for the occasion and watching the dancing girls in the floor show. Elaine Merriam approached me and asked me where I wished to sit. I replied As near the front as possi- ble so that I'll be able to see Leonard Socia, doubl- ing for Al Jolson, singing Mammy. It was great, too. I was thirsty and I asked where the bar was. I ordered a slug of ginger ale, straight, and who should put it on the counter but Lorette Lavoie who had half interest in the Cozy Corner the last time I saw her. When I returned to my table, Ellen Mac McQuaid, Al Capone's only surviving mouthpiece asked me for $100 to spring one of her pals. Just as I was about to leave I noticed Marian Walker, the girl who gained stage fame by means of her Southern accent. Nothing to do this evening. I think I'll spend a quiet evening at home. I have several magazines and books that I have been unable to read. One of the books is The Last of the Brain Trust, by Rae Louise Laque. I see by this book that they finally have the New Deal” all worked out. Here is another interesting thing I found in one of the magazines: an advertisement stating: Look beautiful with a coiffure arranged by Jane Pulver and her competent assistants, Jenny and Irene Brand. Call at the Pulver, Brand and Brand Beauty Shoppe, 319 Fifth Avenue. I also see that if one needs a private nurse or nursemaid, one may call Phyllis Long or June Dun- ham. I noticed a special article written by Leopold Meier and his assistant, Alice Patchett, explaining their new process for purifying iron ore. They work for the Dupont Chemical Company. I forgot to tell you about the surprise I had this morning when the milkman came to collect his bill. The milkman was none other than John Navin. I asked him if he had heard from any other members of our old graduating class. He said that he had eggs on his truck that were from Shriver's scientific chicken farm. Also, that Helen Thompson is now Mrs. Navin. Of the rest, he knew nothing. Speaking of old friends reminds me that I met Art Shea a few days ago. I learned from him that he and Janis King are professors of higher mathe- matics at Syracuse University. Also, that Virginia Pierce is now a kindergarten teacher in B'Ville. Margaret Zahn is secretary to Mr. Jensen. I re- member now that he was coming in as principal as I was graduating out. I learned in another round about way that Marion Furbush and Mary Jane Harrington have settled down to a quiet life as farmerettes. Marian Fravor is also a housewife now. By the way, if any of you ladies are interested in securing the latest styles in women's clothes, go to the Squires' Exclusive Women's Shoppe. There you will be taken care of by one of the Squires' sister (Mary or Rita) or their assistant, Betty Mahoney. Also they have on their staff Joyce Wedlock, the former knitting champ of the United States. Erwin Mathewson has finally found his place in the sun. His electrical ability has at last been recognized and he is now president of the Niagara Hudson Company. His private secretary is, of course, Helen Magee. Ahem! June Bilyeu started out as an ordinary paper hanger, but, after years of honest labor, she has finally created a firm for this purpose. Now she sits behind a desk and gives orders. Her adver- tising and campaign manager, Elizabeth Lobdell, has much to do with her success. Roland Lavoie is now a full-fledged Soldier of Fortune. He started out as an ordinary soldier, but in the war between France and Germany in which Roland took an active part, he gained quite a reputation. Ruth Cooper, the prominent lawyer, has won another case. She was counsel for the defendant, Mary Jane Mawhinney, in a breach of promise suit against Frederick Paimer. The star witness was Frances Skinner. It was because of the timely testi- mony of Frances that Ruth won the case. If you are ever traveling through Albany and want a place to stay for the night, stop at the Cricket Inn, run by Katherine Heron. Here you will find comfort, convenience, and economy. At this point my wandering mind returns again to Prof. R. L. Laque's mighty volume on the brain trust. Merely thinking abouf it makes one sleepy. Ho hum Z z zzz. LELAND RICE FREDERICK PULVER KEMPY A Comedy in Three Acts The Senior Play Kempy, given May 20, was a great success both financially and socially. All of this success we owe to our director, Miss Wort- man, who willingly spent many long hours with the cast. Tryouts for the Senior play, Kempy, were held March the I Ith. The judges consisting of Mr. Elden, Mrs. Cussler, and Miss Wortman chose the following cast for the play: Dad Bence, a retired manufacturer Augustus Greene Mother Bence, lovable mother and wife Elizabeth Mahoney Jane Wade, eldest married daughter Janis King Ben Wade, Jane's husband .Frederick Pulver Ruth Bence, youngest daughter Nancy Bigelow Kate Bence, ambitious daughter Dorothea Rowley Duke Merrill, Millionaire. Adrian O Brien Kempy James, the Plumber Frederick Palmer Dad Bence, a retired manufacturer, worries con- tinuously about money affairs, a fact which his family refuse to consider seriously because they know he has $100,000. Jane Wade, the eldest daughter, comes home to visit the family while Ben, her husband, is at a convention. When Ben returns he tells the family that Duke Merrill, a millionaire, is coming to visit them. Mother and Dad Bence would like to have Kate see Duke to reconsider her refusal of marriage which she had given him two years ago. Kempy James, the plumber, talks to the youngest daughter, Ruth, while awaiting orders from Dad as to what pipe to fix. During this conversation Ruth learns that Kempy had always said that he would marry the girl that wrote Angie's Tempta- tion. Kate Bence is the author of it. Kate again quarrels with Duke as she does not believe in him and in her anger asks Kempy to marry her. This having been Kempy's aim. he marries her that day, which causes a great uproar in the Bence family. Kempy and Kate find that they do not agree so Duke, seeing his chance, takes Kate off from Kempy's hands, who would rather marry Ruth someday. This is done by having the marriage annuled, as Kempy was not twenty-one and he did not have his parents consent. This play could not have been a success without the help of all committees. JANIS KING BETTY MAHONEY SENIOR BALL Night and You and Blue Hawaii is perhaps the best description which can be given to the Senior Ball of the Class of '38. This, one of the biggest social events of the year, took place in the Academy Gymnasium on the night of April 20, two months earlier than in previous years. The dancers descended the gymnasium steps and presto! — found themselves in Hawaii. As they stepped onto the dance floor a lei of a pastel color was placed around their neck, pleasing them and also entering them into the Hawaiian atmosphere. White was used as a background on the side walls with green paper palms artistically arranged here and there and dancing Hawaiian girls carrying out the class colors of brown and gold. Their leis, flowers, arm bracelets, and ankle bracelets were of gold and their grass skirts of brown. Pineapples which looked amazingly real, were also used as a means of carrying out the Hawaiian scene. The sky was a canopy of blue streamers with silver stars hanging from them while the gold moon shown beautifully upon them. The patrons and patronesses were seated in beach chairs under a large beach umbrella such as might be found on the Beach at Bali Bali. Those attending were: Mr. and Mrs. Elden, Mr. and Mrs. Charles King, Mrs. G. W. Pulver, Mr. and Mrs. Leslie Nostrant, and Mr. and Mrs. Wallace Bigelow. The excellent music was furnished by Don Hayes and the Aristocrats, the Band with a Thousand Melodies. Frederick Pulver, the president of the Senior Class, led the Grand March. From the large at- tendance, and happy, smiling faces of the young dancers as they whirled around the floor and from snatches of conversation heard here and there, it is quite evident that the Senior Ball of the Class of '38 was a huge success. Those on the decoration committee were: Joyce Wedlock, chairman. Leonard Sochie, Barbara North- rup, and Elaine Merriam. Much credit goes to Leonard Sochia for his excellent work in the draw- ing of the dolls, palms, and pineapples. JOYCE WEDLOCK SPORTS Football Basketball Baseball Hockey Soccer Cross Country Girls Bowling Boys Bowling Track FOOTBALL Coach Wesley Getman's Red Raiders inaugurat- ed their new football jerseys by winning their first three games of the 1937 season without being scored upon. At Solvay they suffered defeat at the hands of their old rivals. In Liverpool the fol- lowing week, half of the team contracted injuries, and after a stubborn fight, the Getmanites again were on the short end of the score. In North Syra- cuse for the last game, the locals started out strong- ly, but the strain seemed too great and they cracked in the final stanza. The season’s scores are as follows: Baldwinsville.......13 Marcellus .0 Baldwinsville.......31 Manlius 0 Baldwinsville. 14 East Syracuse ............... . 0 Baldwinsville 0 Solvay 13 Baldwinsville ....... 7 Liverpool ..............40 Baldwinsville . 13 North Syracuse .........27 The following boys received Block Letters as awards: Captain John Navin. .4 years, Gold Football Royden Smith ........... 3 years Kenneth Adsit ..........2 years Donald Coates .........2 years Richard Tarnow ........2 years Everett Heagle _________2 years William Klasmier........2 years Leopold Meier 2 years Kenneth Neupert ........2 years Frederick Pulver .......I year Leland Rice ........

This was chiefly due to the in- juries suffered and ineligibility of several competent players during the first half of the season. As a result a somewhat green team held up the Crim- son and White's flag in the county league race. Lost to the team for most of the season were Harry Shriver, Robert Coates, Edward Sanford, and Richard Tarnow. Captain Jack Bunney held up the scoring honors, netting over 100 points in 12 league games. He was chosen on the All-West, all star team, at the finish of the season and on the second All-County team.

Last year, Solvay's 5 to 3 win was the oniy loss suffered in 9 games, while this year's squad has won but I game in 5 starts with 3 games re- maining to be played.

Members who earned block letter awards are as follows: Donald Beebe 2 years Leopold Meier 2 years John Leyburn, Captain 3 years Charles Pickard 1 year Clarence See 2 years Frank Townsend 2 years Robert Nostrant 2 years John Nostrant .. 1 year Robert Bowers ...1 year Jack O'Brien 1 year William Gettman 2 years Stanley Minnoe 2 years Frederick Pulver and Royden Smith received gold awards for four years of service. Graduation takes most of the veterans this year, leaving Pickard, Bowers, See and Captain-elect, John Nostrant, as a foundation for next year's team. JOHN LEYBURN SOCCER For the first time in the history of B'Ville athletics, Soccer was introduced as a minor sport. Under the leadership of a very able and capable coach. Mr. Joseph Guerrera, the team did remark- ably well for the first season. Perhaps the greatest thrill for any new team would be the ability to tie the county champions. Well, that's just what they did. Although Bald- winsville did not win a game in the initial season, they may claim a very commendable record. The following boys were members of the soccer squad, but all expect to leave school through grad- uation: William Currie. Marvin Hay. Harry Shriver, Edward Rourke. Stanley Minnoe, Donald Beebe. • and Howard Crego. Although all these boys are lost to the team, many new prospects are in view for the champion- ship team B'Ville expects to produce next year. EDWARD ROURKE CROSS COUNTRY The 1937 cross country team had a very unsuc- cessful season. We entered three meets against some of the best schools in central New York. The team captured third place in the Central High School invitation meet for teams in Onondaga County. The following were members of the team: Daniel Grome, Earl Jacobs, William Bye, Edward Middlemore, George Heal — Leonard Mackey, TRACK The Crimson Track squad of this year will take the field without the help of Leonard Mackey, Frederick Sullivan, Everett Heagle, Russell Vir- ginia, and Harry Shriver. Together these boys were the consistent point winners of last year's team. This year's team will be built around Captain Alfred Oppleton, Frederick Pulver and Leopold Meier, returning from last year's squad. The new members of the squad are: Jack Bunney and Leland Rice, pole vaulters and high jumpers: Richard Greene, Phillip Sawyer, Robert Bowers, Wilson Mercer, John Nostrant, the distance runners, and Franklin Myers, shot putter. B'Ville was nosed out of the county championship last year by Solvay, by the narrow margin of one point. A relay team of Shriver. Virginia, Heagle, and Oppleton won a trophy for the 880 yard relay, which was our only major victory in the meet. manager. All of these are expected to be out for the team next year, as well as some new mem- bers from Junior High School.

FRED OPPLETON GIRLS' BOWLING JOYCE BAKER BOYS' BOWLING Baldwinsville, defending champions, entered this year's County League Tournament minus Erwin Christy Mathewson. With Coach Guerrera, the team traveled to Minoa and bowled against ten other schools for the County League Champion- ship. Despite Bunney's high game of 255 and high three games of 602 and the rest of the team's fine bowling, we placed fourth behind Solvay, Fayette- ville, and Liverpool. This was due to the high plane of the competition in the County League. 1. Bunney 4. Coates 2. Otts 5. Tarnow ROLAND LAVOIE The girls' bowling team, now a group of three years' standing at Baldwinsville High School, par- ticipated in the county tournament this year which was held at Skaneateles. As the team had had no previous matches with other schools, this was a new event for most of the girls; but they came out very well. In the county tournament, competing against eight other schools, the team finished fifth.

Bye Manager, Roland Lavoie SOCIETIES Athletic Association Journalisn Orchestra Glee Club Prize Speaking Musical Revue THE ATHLETIC ASSOCIATION The Athletic program of the Baldwinsville Academy is sponsored by the Athletic Association. The governing body which directs this association is the Athletic Council. Members of the council are elected by the students from the four years of high school. The seniors were represented the first term by Frederick Pulver and Leland Rice, the juniors by John Leyburn and Robert Emerson. The sopho- mores and freshmen elected Donald Coates and Richard Olney respectively. The post graduates were represented by Robert Coates. In the second semester Leland Rice and Bar- bara Northrop represented the seniors, while Glenn Goodfellow and Robert Currie were elected by the juniors. Coates and Olney spoke again for the sophomores and freshmen. The post graduates were represented by Charles Palmer. The council sponsored the Athletic Banquet which is the sport high-light of the year. This year the banquet was held in the Masonic Temple with dancing in the gymnasium later. William S. Boelter, assistant football coach of Syracuse University, was the speaker. The banquet was made doubly in- teresting as moving pictures of the Syracuse- Cornell football game were shown. This banquet is held for the purpose of honoring the boys who took part in athletics during the year and to award them with block letters. BARBARA NORTHROP PRIZE SPEAKING The annual Junior Prize Speaking Contest was held in the Academy, Friday evening, April 29. The eight contestants were Helen Cronkite, Alice Mercer, Phyllis Storm, Dorothy McNeil. Leo Brown. Robert Dow, Billy Cole, and Jack Coleman. Helen Cronkite's interpretation of Ole Mistis and Leo Brown's declamation Abraham Lincoln won first prizes, while Alice Mercer and Robert Dow were awarded second prizes. On Friday evening, May 13, the Bigelow Prize Speaking Contest was held in the Academy audi- torium. The four girls participating were Margery Gere, Wilma Bratt, Mary Alice McNeil, and Con- stance Connell. Margery Gere, who spoke The Christmas Substitute.’ received first prize and Wilma Bratt won second prize. The four boys who contested were John Nos- trant, Glenn Thompson, Robert Morehous, and Richard Perkins. John Nostrant's interpretation of Opportunity earned him first while Glenn Thompson received second award. The coaches for these two contests were: Miss Palmer and Miss Roth for the Junior contest, and Miss Roth and Mr. Elden for the Senior. LOIS AMERMAN GLEE CLUB The Thanksgiving program provided by the sopranos and altos officially started the year for the Glee Club. However, long before that, the entire organi- zation had been practicing, under the direction of Miss Roth, on the Christmas cantata to be pre- sented at the last assembly program before Christ- mas vacation. The musical revue came February I I th and 12th. Profiting by last year's experience, the director presented it on two nights, each a huge success. Various members of the Glee Club participated in different popular song and dance groups to make the affair gala and picturesque. The last event for the Glee Club, as well as the orchestra, was the annual spring concert at which time they sang Serenade by Shubert and To Thee, O Country from the opera Martha, appro- priate to Memorial Day. ORCHESTRA This years crop of musicians — over fifty of them — has done much to further the cultural back- ground of Baldwinsville Academy by assisting in many school activities, thereby helping to educate the students musically. Under the direction of Miss Elizabeth M. Roth, with the help of Mr. Silvio Meneguezzo and Mrs. Ethel Connell Phoenix, it has provided two assem- bly programs, music for the annual Christmas play by the grade children, musical revue, Prize Speak- ing Contest and Senior Play and always of course, the regular entrance and exit marches for assem- bly. On the March P. T. A. programme Lois Amer- man, pupil of Mrs. Phoenix, and Robert King, pupil of Mr. Meneguezzo. illustrated the work of music in the schools. Last summer, the orchestra made its visit to the woods for a few days and played a concert on the porch of the Wood Hotel, Inlet, to the accompani- ment of a strong wind. The annual concert was held May 27th this year with the usual success and thus happily ended the musical year for Baldwinsville Academy. VIRGINIA PIERCE MUSICAL REVIEW All aboard! Mid-nite choo-choo leaving in five minutes! And so, with the special chorus singing All Aboard for Alabam, the Musical Revue of 1938, held Friday and Saturday evenings, February I Ith and 12th, was under way. The current popular hits Josephine and Ten Pretty Girls were sung with appropriate settings by Frederick Palmer and Alfred Oppleton respec- tively. Such novel interpretations as the Minuet, Cake- walk, Military tap dance, Three Little Maids, and an Irish number all contributed to the success of the show. The Hill-billy quartet, consisting of Frederick and Charles Palmer, Adrian O'Brien, and Robert Bond must also be mentioned for the amusement they afforded. The Drum Dance and The Big Apple, por- trayed by Betty Smith and Jackie Schott of Syra- cuse, were two amusing features of the evening's performance. As a part of this year's presentation a play entitled Elmer was given under the direction of Miss Elizabeth Roth. Displaying their talents against a background of typical American home life the actors were Richard Perkins, Nancy Bigelow, Phyllis Long, Virginia Pierce, Barbara Northrup, Marjorie Gere, Robert Emerson, and Dorothea Rowley. Performed before a capacity crowd, the Musi- cal Revue proved a huge success not only from an entertainment, but also from a financial view- point, netting a profit of $ 180. LORETTE LAVOIE JOURNALISM Under the direction of a new faculty advisor, Miss Frances Belknap, forty young journalists met in the library at the beginning of the school year, to elect officers for this, their eighth successive year. The following officers were chosen: president, Nancy Bigelow; vice-president, Virginia Pierce; secrefary, Alice Montague. In January, Helen Haye succeeded Virginia Pierce as vice-president. It is the task of the Journalism Club to edit the two school newspapers. During the period from September to January the following served as staff members: Academy Messenger — Editor-in-chief, Jack Bunney; Managing editor, Lorette Lavoie; News editor, Peg McNeill; Sports editor, James Weeks; and Feature editor, Virginia Pierce. The Crimson and White editors consisted of: Editor-in-chief. Nancy Bigelow; Managing editor, Alice Montague; News editor, Helen Haye; Sports editor, Donald Flaherty; and Feature editor, Billie Brown. When the second semester was well under way the staffs were changed and the following were on the editing board: Academy Messenger — Editor-in-chief, Peg McNeill; Managing editor, Christina Dunlap; News editor, Billie Brown; Sports editor, James Weeks; and Feature editor, Virginia Pierce. Only one change was made in the opposite staff. Mary Zahn succeeded Billie Brown as feature editor. Programs during the year were varied. Many faculty members and townspeople gave interesting talks on reporting. During the first semester a party was held in the gym. The profits realized were used in sending four delegates to the Press Conference. The second social event proved to be a highly success- ful sleigh-ride.
