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

Text from Pages 1 - 46 of the 1939 volume:

DEDICATION To Miss Isabelle M. Pike, who is retiring from the faculty, the class of 1939 dedicates this Lyre. Miss Pike's amazing fund of knowledge on every conceivable subject made her English classes more than just that. They became forums for discussions on science, gardens, govern- ment, jobs, or human nature under the guidance of an understanding, alert teacher who believed in giving education instead of merely information. The class of 1939 wishes Miss Pike a long, happy, and interesting retirement, full of the people, books, music, and travel that have long deserved more of her attention than she had time to give them.

CLASS LOG The good ship Class of '39 has at last put in at port and all her crew — much the wiser and a little sadder — will soon be scattering to the four winds. Much of the sailing was enhanced by perfect weather—a light, balmy breeze filled the schooner’s sails and kept her moving over the gently rolling sea. But, of course, there were times when all was not so smooth; there were days when out of a peaceful sky dark clouds came swarming, fierce winds whipped icy spray over the slippery decks, and a few sailors, a little weaker than the rest, were swept overboard. But no storm, however black, could completely darken the spirits of the crew. For those dark, dreary days when the decks were cleared, there was entertainment in the main hal!— singing by the Glee Club, dancing, prize speaking, exhibition, plays, speakers, and various sports in which all members of our crew participated. Among our illustrious sailors were several mem- bers of the championship football team. Don Coates won particular notice, while the jolly tars, Harlan Hudson, Glenn Goodfellow, Richard Tarnow, John Nostrant and Edward Jacobs, contributed splendidly to the season's success. Right in mid-sea. we changed captains — ex- changing Captain Elden's kindly, helpful guidance for the equally kind and expert leadership of Cap- tain Jensen. The new Captain and his assistants, our teachers, steered us safely through the rocky channels of regents and quarterlies, and kept the vessel straight when occasional squalls (epidemics of scarlet-fever, colds, grippe, and low marks) threatened to blow her off her course. During the last few knots when land was in sight, Skipper John Nostrant and his able assistants — Connie Connell, 1st Mate; Lucille Blagoff, Log Keeper, and Robert Currie, Guardian of the Treas- ure Chest, found themselves busy with last minute arrangements for landing. The height of the season's entertainment in the Grand Salon was reached when the Thespians of the crew put on the play, Dulcy, and achieved a smashing success. Soon after, the officers and crew donned their full-dress uniforms, resplendent in all the gold braid and brass buttons at their command, to attend the Senior Hornpipe. The Grand Salon was decorated in semblance of a vineyard in Valencia. After four years of adventure, companionship, and scholastic endeavors, the merry crew has brought the ship with flags flying, bands playing, and all hands on deck, to the end of her long, eventful course.

Firstly:—We do hereby bequeath to the faculty the memory of the noisiest class in our fair Academy. Secondly:—To the Board of Education we leave a clean slate so far as debts are concerned. Thirdly:—The numerous individuals hereby leave their peculiarities, characteristics, and what nots: Clara Mae Bowers leaves her Grecian profile to 4 decorate the front hall. Mary Rury leaves her orchestra seat to any one of Mrs. Phoenix's aspiring or perspiring young fiddlers. Earl Jacobs leaves to save Miss Wormuth's breath. She never did see him face front. Doris Bilyeu wills her red hair to the Hi-Y boys to be used in future productions of Dangerous Dan McGrew. Fannie Di Toro leaves the volley ball to Frances Merriam. Lucille Blagoff and Jeanette Rogers bequeath their juicy love stories to Jean Smith and Mary Curtis. George Pettit leaves his absence card to Miss Thompson — that's where it is most of the time anyway. Elizabeth Holland wills her efficiency to Annette Hamm. . Donald Coates leaves his block letters to Mar- jorie. Probably she’s got them already. Leo Phrang leaves his movie technique to Bob Bowers. And we don't mean Tarzan. Florence Williams wills her frown to Jean Bisdee. Willie won't need it any more now she's out. Charles Hobbs leaves his lime pail to Barton Nesdall. Alice Patcnett wills her job of passing out the absence slips to Eleanor House. Lillie Currier bequeaths her new hairdo to June McGivney. r Melvin Travers leaves his uncorked bottle to Richard Cramer. Helen Haye leaves her position as Editor-in-Chief of the Crimson and White to Bottle Otts. He's the only one who could possibly fill Bay's shoes. Robert King leaves his oboe to the orchestra— in memoriam. Jean Brock wills her case of the flutters to Miss Workman. Katherine Phillips and Betty Foster leave their loquacious tendencies to Anita Casnman and Helen Hurley. Anna Kellicott wills her unsurpassable grin to the pessimistic juniors. Robert Emerson leaves his sources of gossip to Walter Winchell. Dorothy Crego wills her priceless teeth to the Elks. Donald Thompson leaves his see-gar to Phillip Sawyer. Don't forget to remove the cellophane. Jeanette Mercer wills her gun to Betty Jean Argenbright. This isn't a hint. Raymond Field wills his track shorts to Stevie Koegal. Clarice Ferguson leaves her phone number to anyone who will take it. Glenn Goodfellow leaves his way with the teachers to Robert (Rowdy) Dow. Helen Gaylord leaves her wardrobe to the Home Ec. classes to be used as an incentive to those that need it. Robert Currie wills his brains and brawn to Wil- liam Peters. Doris Schultz leaves at last to join Paul. That ought to satisfy them both. William Arnold leaves his part time schedule to anyone who can't handle a full one. Don't rush!! Robert Snow leaves his nickname Moon —which the authors consider a cheesy thing to leave any green undergraduate. Flora Grome leaves with the record of the young- est graduate. Warren Crego wills his inimitable personality to Posy Turner. Ann Bazluki leaves her seat in the bus to make more room for Alan Timmerman. Bradley Abbott leaves tacitly, not wanting to be different. The shock might be too great for us. Charlotte Bellows bequeaths her French book to Clarissa Vandenburg. Charlotte's experience ought to help Clarissa, even though Clarissa can't handle what she's got now. Clarence See leaves his airplanes to Arthur Baker. Now maybe Art can get up in the world. Mary Zahn Bequeaths Annie to Mr. Murphy. Now we don't have to worry about her. Robert Storm leaves his ability to lie with a straight face to Carl Vandenburg. Norma Ostrander wills her dignity to Mabe Pulver. Someone left it to her two years aao, but she never got it. William Gettman leaves his linoual orecocity to Nick Pickard. Medbury Smith leaves with noise. We didn't hear him come in, maybe well hear him go out. Alice Beebe leaves her driver's license to William Clark. He needs it. Mildred Bert leaves, not to be a bachelor girl. Nice work if you can get it. Charles Brammer wills his curls to Mr. Durgee. We re sick of kidding Mr. Murphy about his bald- ness. Grace Navin, Betty Hamilton and Betty Jane Wilber leave hand in hand back to the South Side. CLASS WILL (Continued) Edward Rourke ’leaves his car to be used a public taxicab. It ought to last a couple of years longer. Patricia Flynn leaves her aspiration and ability to arrange hair to ' Goldy-locks Wilbert. The result should be terrific. Richard Tarnow leaves Mabe to Art Bissell. Fer- dinand's strong enough to take care of her. Norma Woodruff and Virginia Whitney leave a big hole in the office staff. Glen Thomas bequeaths his back seat in history class to the next senior who doesn't know the answers. Thelma Abbott wills that stick of gum to Abigai' Bellows. James Weeks leaves his suave manner to Charles Ingleston. Anne Dight leaves her height to Carl Smith. They can settle the difference. Marialyce McNeil leaves her discovery of phos- p'noresent nail polish to Irwin Boyce — Oiwin can thumb more rides out to Swartzie's at night. Hattie Bartnikowski leaves everyone gasping. Connie Connell leaves her barndancing to Rose- mary Lonergan. Hay! Hay!! Donald Flaherty as usual refuses to leave or give anything to anybody — even Betty. Christine Dunlap wills her incomparable and in- conceivable whackiness to Marguarite McCann. John Nostrant leaves his Hi-Y pin to the next lucky holder. Dorothy Lou Flanders leaves the ivories to Alice Mercer. Now maybe we'll truck into assembly. Malcolm Furbush wills hjs reputation and his pocket mirror to his brother Walter. Wilma Bratt leaves her sousaphone, if she can get out of it, to Rose Nuss. Maybe this isn't so good; if Rosie falls into the wrong end of it no- body will see her to pull her out. Harlan Hudson leaves his good nature and pleas- ing attitude to Tunk Luce, who needs a new lease on life. Frances Donahue bequeaths her various opinions to anyone who can agree with her. Mildred Loop wills her integrity to Howard Clark. Jack O'Brien leaves his hockey stick to Mrs. Cussler. We think she needs something besides just moral support.

BILLIE BROWN PROPHECY OF THE CLASS OF '39 SCENE: Senior Picnic PLACE: Owasco TIME: 1939 As we walk through the brightly lighted gate ot the Owasco amusement park we stare in wonder at the bright lights. A large red and yellow blinker sign catches our eye. As we look closely we see that the sign says Fun House. Having a little time to spare before the others arrive, we decide to go in. Upon going through the door, which closes quickly upon our heels, we find ourselves in a well lighted room. (Scattered around this room are dif- ferent amusements and contraptions which one Tinas in a fun house.) In one corner of the room we see a group of mirrors and since we dressed in a hurry we'cecided to take a lock at ourselves. In the first mirror we are short and tat. in tne second we are tall and thin, in the next we are blurred and so on until we have looked in all tne mirrors dut one. Upon looking into this one we see no image in tne glass. As we are about to try something else we notice a sign on the side of the mirror which reads The Future of anybody or anything, anywhere, anytime or anyplace. Put five cents in the slot and pull lever way down. After you have inserted the nickel and pulled the lever, write the name of the person or thing whose future you want told on the card which you will find in a box at the left of the machine and hold it in Tront of the mirror. After inserting the nickel and pulling the lever, we write, Senior Class of 1939 on a card and hold it in front of the mirror. The machine shakes and groans, the mirror clears anc the parade of seniors of the Class of 39 begins to appear. The scene cn the glass is that of a hill with a road coming over the top. This hill probably represents success, and the road the hard ciimb to it. We wonder how many of the class have stopped to sit by the side of the road. But wait! A figure is ap- pearing. It's Charles Hobbs, and he is running very fast. And no wonder, Helen Hayes is right behind him with a pair of tooth forceps. Well, Hobbs always was a timid soul and Helen, who is following in her father's footsteps as a dentist, used to say that she’d get what she was after end it looks as though it's Hobbs' gold tooth. The parade is on, because following close behind is a huge truck with a sign on the side Hudson and Thomas Plainville Turkey Farm. Driving it is Malcolm Furbush who like his sister decided to become a farmer. As the dust from the passing truck settles back to the road PROPHECY OF THE CLASS OF '39—Continued we see a young man hobbling along on crutches. As he comes closer we see that It is Don Coates. He must have accepted that scholarship to play football at Colgate. The parade is passing quite fast now, and the next to come into view are the three musketeers of the Ciass of '39: Doris Bilyeu, Christina Dunlap and Clarice Ferguson. Their escorts are the dashing young men who have made good in the movies, Charles Brammer, William Gettman, and Glenn Goodfellow. The next two people are riding horses and we see that they are 0 Billie Brown, the first woman President and her private secretary and husband, Robert Currie. Fol- lowing the horses a beautiful new Packard comes into view. Driving it is Melvin Travers, while re- clining in the back of the car we see Mary Rury, Katherine Phillips and Charlotte Bellows, now the owners of a swanky beauty shoppe on Park Avenue. Next we see Donald Flaherty business manager of the Crego and Crego Farm Supply Co. , whose owners are Warren and Dorothy Crego. What’s this? The mirror is clouding. But wait! It isn't clouding at all; it's just Robert King, now with the Ford Symphony Orchestra, coming over the hill. King passes on and we see Donald Beebe, now catcher for the St. Louis Cardinals. Don is reading a copy of the Times, edited by Mary Alice McNeill. We look closely at the front page and there in the upper left hand corner is an article headed, The Long and Short of It, written by Robert Emerson and Ann Dighi. Another article that comes to our attention is Helpful Hints to Harassed Housewives, written Dy our own Frances Donahue. Beeb turns to the sport page and we see that Clarence See. now the goalie 'or the Ramolers, has had only ninety-eight goals scored on him this season, due to the marvelous oefense work of Brad- ley Abbott. In looking over the rest of the page we are not surprised to see tnat Bernard Smith has qualified for the national golf tournament and that Raymond Field is running the hundred yard dash in the Olympic’s next summer. As Beeb turns to leave he folds the paper and we see a blaring headline which reads, Flora Grome, winner of the national knitting contest—Patricia Flynn a close second. The machine shakes; we watch the mirror closely, and there coming over the nill is a huge bus. I he driver is Edward Rourke. Tnere is a sign on he side of the bus which reads, The Ten Pretty Girls, ___William Arnold owner. The bus rolls by, and looking through the bus windows we are awed by the beauty of the ten pretty girls, who are Thelma Abbott. Mildred Sort, Eleanor Greene, Anna Kelli- cott, Mildred Grome, Alice Beebe, Marian Fravor, Catherine Heron, Lillie Currier and Florence Wil- liams. Behind in his open sport model is James Weeks, advertising manager for the ten pretty girls, and his wife, Hattie Bartnikowski. Another truck comes into view and we see that it is Earl Jacobs' Acquacade which after its suc- cessful showing of the World's Fair is now touring the country in search of work. Upon looking closely we see that some of the beautiful girls are Ann Bazluki, Norma Ostrander, Jeanette Rogers, Eliza- beth Holland, Virginia Whitney, Doris Schulz, Alice Patchett, Betty Jane Hamilton, and Fannie DiToro. All of these girls learned to swim in the Seneca River. Earl Jacobs has a beautiful show and has just received the exclusive right to sing the new song hit of the season entitled Ten Little Fishes, written by those two great composers Robert Snow and Robert Storm. (Snowstorm Inc.) What's this? Here comes William Davenpori carrying a sign which reads Don't buy at the Zahn Gaylord Swanky Dress Shoppe — Unfair to or- ganized labor. Close behind William is George Pettit carrying a similar sign. Two girls behind George are also fighting for the same cause, they are Betty Foster and Constance Connell, now mem- bers of the unemployed army but formerly models at the Zahn Gaylord Swanky Dress Shoppe. A billboard truck passes, driven by Leo Pfrang; it reads that Medbury Smith and Vernon Racha, now great Broadway showmen, ere going to produce DULCY starring Jean Brock, with Don Thompson as her leading man. In the supporting cast are Grace Navin, and Wilma Bratt. The advertising manager is still Betty Jane Wilber, who got her experience as advertising manager or the senior play. Mildred Loope is property woman. Then the mirror fogs and when it becomes clear we see not the road over this hill but a beautiful building. In the front yard of this beautiful build- ing is a huge sign which reads, Bowers. Mercer. Blagoff, School of Correspondence. Advice to the Lovelorn is our specialty. Norma Woodruff, Corresponding Secretary. It is a very beautiful building and we are surprised to see that no one is entering. 3ut wait! Here comes a young man and woman. Who should it be but Jean West and Jack O'Brien who are met at the welcoming desk by Dorothy Lou Flanders, another graduate of B. H. S. in 1939. They are here to straighten out their difficulties because they are thinking of getting married. The senior parade ends, and so we leave the fun house to ‘ake a ride on the roller coaster. We climb slowly up the first and finally start the fast ride to the depths below. ZoooooooM. JOHN MOST RANT DICK TARNCW SWING SONG SHEET Bradley Abbot .............................

After a fairly good start against Manlius, the team seemed to gain momentum from each contest they played, and, as a result of hard work combined with co- operation from every member of the squad, the Crimson tide took another County Championship, undefeated, untied and uninvited. Hudson, guard; Coates, fullback, and Myers, halfback, were chosen on the Syra- cuse Herald's All-County team. R, E...............John Nostrant L.

Baldwinsville was nosed out of the play-offs by Skaneateles in a close, hard fought game by the score of 3 to 2. Although Baldwinsville did not do so well this ! season, the hopes for next year are very good. Only one or two players will be lost I from the team. Baldwinsville played two non-league games with Ithaca High School, i winning one and losing one. Two veterans, Robert Bowers and Charles Pickard were elected to be co-captains of the team for the year 1939-40. The following received letters in hockey this season: John Nostrant (Captain) Jack O'Brien ■ Walter Bartnikowski Robert Bowers Charles Pickard Walter Furbush Richard Olney Charles Brauselck William Cole Richard Tobin Gordon Adsit Clarence See James Brauselck George Tillitson Alfred Oppleion (Manager) JACK O'BRIEN BASKETBALL The basketball season of '38-'39 was less successful than the championship foot- ball season which preceded it. Mostly due to lack of experience on the part of the players, the team opened the first half of the season rather poorly, but began to show much more promise in the closing games and our team of giants, of which five towered well over the six foot mark, was nosed out of the play-offs by only a half game after trouncing Split Rock in the season s finals. The lettermen are D. Coates, Ternow, Virkler, and Goodfellow, veterans from last year's team, and C. Smith. Otts, Snow, Hudson, and Storm, playing their first year'of varsity ball. Bob Otts was elected captain for the '39-’40 season at the basketball banquet at Richard Decker s.

Pitching was the team's great weakness, and as the regular moundsmen could not stand the strain, several relief pitchers were recruited from the infield. A large percentage of the players will return for 1940, so the prospects are cheerful. The squad included: Captain Don Coates, Richard Tarnow, Lloyd Baker, John Nostrant, Robert Otts, Glenn Goodfellow, Hugh Gibbons, Carl Smith, Robert Snow, Robert White, Cecil Reeves, Donald Thompson, Robert Stevens, Stanley Reeves. Ray Davis. Richard Olney, James Brauksiek. and George Cashman.

The team -finished in fourth place with a total of 2406. ROBERT SNOW GIRLS' BOWLING the Girls' Bowling Team of i938-1939 partic- ipated in this year's County League Tournament at Skaneateles minus their two best players of last year, Marion Furbush and Joyce Baker. Despite the loss of these two girls, the bowling team, a group of four years' standing, competed against eight other schools in the tournament and finished in fifth place. The members of the team are as follows: June Chapman .............Two Years Jean Donahue .............One Year Helen Gorke ..............Two Years Elizabeth Sweeting .......Two Years Mary Zahn ................Two Years BETTY WILBER GOLF This year's Crimson golf team has had a rather poor season, winning only two of the first five matches. There are still three games to be played. This year's team was weakened considerably by the loss of Eugene Ney, combined with the absence or James Tompkins because of ineligibility.

To date each team has played two games. The Sophomores are in the lead having won two games and lost none. But they are closely followed by the seniors and freshmen who have each won one and lost one. ie standing: Team Won Lost SoDhomores 2 0 Seniors i 1 Freshmen I 1 Juniors 0 2 CHARLES HOB8S BOXING This sport was introduced two years ago under the direction of physical education instructor Joseph A. Guerrera, as a part of the intramural program. It will not, however, become an inrer-ccnolasric spori in the future, because the danger is too grear. The boys participating did it voluntarily and arranged their own matches accoraing to their weight, skill, and ability. Two boxing cards have been held eecn year where very good boxing was aemonstrared. r.ese induced knockouts, draws, ano decisions.

INTERCLASS BASKETBALL Part of the boys' physicial education program in B.H.S. is the interclass basketball league. The juniors wort the championship, as usual, since they had the older and better players. With the aid of Gus Rowe, Nick Pickard, and Gabby Woods, the juniors started off with a bang, winning their first games easily. When Pickard and Woods were called for varsity duty and Rowe was out for a few games, the juniors began losing, but Rowe came back to help the team. The sophomores had a strong five which pressed the juniors hard and beat the seniors. The results were as follows: Class Won Lost Juniors 10 2 Sophomores 7 5 Seniors 4 8 Freshmen 3 o DONALD THOMPSON BARNYARD LEAGUE For the benefit of the noon hour students a Barn- yard League was formed to give them amusement during their lunch hour. It was first planned for basketball, but was later carried to a softball league as well. There were four teams: Mayoitchers, Hogcallers, Farmhands, and Cornhuskers. Floyd Woods, Mer- rill Rowley, Lisle Pickard, and Charles Hobbs were the leaders of the reams respectively. These teams olayed a thirty-six game schedule in basketball and a fifteen game schedule ir softball. The Hay- pitchers were the victors in the basketball schedule and as this goes to press are leading in softball. CHARLES HOBBS HARLAN HUDSON ACTIVITIES Journalism Orchestra Prize Speaking Recreation Banquet Cafeteria Class Pictures JOURNALISM Entirely successful may be said of the activities of the Journalism Club for this concluding year. Witn a record membership of seventy-one embryonic journalists a wide and varied program was carried out. Such interesting speakers as Mrs. Egbert Turner. Willis Davis. Howard Behm, and Coach Wesley Getman contributed many ideas for improvement of our two school papers, the Crimson and White and the Academy Messenger. Pantomimes and skits offered variety in the entertainment of club members. The obviously successful editing of the two school newspapers is also accredited to the staffs and fellow Journalism members. Junior class members of the club super- vised the editing of the two papers for one week during the year. The club drafted and adopted a new constitution to remedy some defects of the old one. Six members represented the Academy club at the New York State School Press Association conference in November at Syracuse University financed by the proceeds of a food sale held by the club.

It has continued to grow each year and at present has a membership of 70 boys and girls. They meet at least three times a week for a period of twenty minutes during school hours under the competent direction of Miss Eliza- beth M. Roth. These songsters gather together not only for the pleasure of warbling, but also for the one-fourth unit which they earn during the year. I he Glee Club has made several appearances this year. Early in the season it started practising a Christmas Cantata, which was presented at the last assembly before the Christmas vacation. A special chorus sang In a Monastary Garden by Kittleby at the Senior Prize Speaking Contest. The next event was the annual Spring Concert at which they rendered two numbers. The Glee Club wound up the year with a trip to Syracuse to par- ticipate in an entertainment presented by the glee clubs and orchestras of the schools of the county. ORCHESTRA The orchestra has had a busy and proiitaole year under the direction ot Miss Elizabeth M. Roth and the help of Mr. Silvio Menecuezzo. It meets every Monday night at seven o'clock end spends about one and one-half hours in real practice. This year the orchestra has had many oppor- tunities to play for school and other social evems. Assemblies, Senior and Junior Prize Speaking, two Parent Teacher Association meetings and the Senior Play are several occasions on which it participated. Also, it played several numbers for the Minstrel Shew sponsored by St. Mary s Men s Club. The annual Spring Concert and a trip to Syracuse with the Glee Club wound up the musical events of the year. DOROTHY LOU FLANDERS HIGH SCHOOL CAFETERIA The High School Cafeteria was organized in 1936-1937 by Mrs. Evelyn B. McNaughton. Under her supervision, students taking Home Economics II plan, order, prepare, and serve the hot lunches to the student body. Each noon a hot dish such as Spanish rice, soup, and a salad or dessert were available for the students at a very low cost. Through contributions made to the cafeteria by local organizations, this year the cafeteria was able to provide free hot lunches to those pupils who would have been otherwise unable to have milk and a hot dish for their lunch. MILDRED LOOPE ATHLETIC BANQUET This year's Athletic Banquet was a great success It was held April 27 in the Masonic Temple. The dinner, served by the Ameranth, was fol- lowed by the distribution of block letters by Mr. Getman. Charles O'Brien as toastmaster, his usual job, gave a few warming up remarks; then intro- duced Mr. Raymond McCarthy, the representative of the Board of Education. The featured speaker of the evening was Les Hart, Coach at Colgate University, who showed moving pictures of the foot- ball game between Colgate and Duke universities. When the students and faculty had joined in sing- ing the Alma Mater, everyone went to the gym- nasium where swing by local talent turnished plenty of pep for dancing until 12. FRANCES DONAHUE RECREATION CLUB The recreation club, made up of the majority of girls in high school, met once a week in the gym- nasium under the supervision of Miss Mae Forrest. Physical Training teacher. Such games as badminton, volley ball, shuffle board, darts, bowling, archery, ping pong, and rings were played in order that the girls might secure block letters (if they had enough credit). The equipment used by the girls was purchased four years ago by means of each girl paying five cents a month in the form of dues. We, the Senior Class of '39, wish to thank Miss Forrest for all she has done for us in the iine o: having a good time after school hours.
