WiTh only Two years of The game, Vonny Russ has developed an excellenT posiTion for herself in bofh of These major acTiviTies. ln The Girls' lnframural League she Took TirsT place honors in scoring wifh a ToTal of 57 poinfs for The season. BeTsy Miller and Richard TurcoTTe Took The honors in Their freshman year in The annual prize speaking conTesT while The Sophs have made Themselves known Through The Chorus and Band. The nexT Two years are anTici- pafed by all as even more exciTing Than The firsT Two have been. Marie Cole and Regina T-TunTer 194 AlThough now we are considered The babes oT The High School and are probably The youngesT and noisiesT class, we will make The grade and in Tour more years will be graduaTing ourselves. We are IOO sTrong and we can'T Tail even Though now we are The despair OT our Teachers and The worry of our parenTs. The Frosh boys were very acTive in sporTs This year wiTh John Henderson and Jaclc Cary showing abiliTy as baslceTeers. They were slow as a group, buT The lnTerclass Team managed To win some of The imporTanT games To add To Their score. We are well represenTed in The band Too. The freshman girls have Their own Glee Club and have proven Themselves Tops in Their line by Talcing parT in The Junior Prize Spealcing ConTesT. The oraTors oT The Treshman class held Their conTesT on March 27Th. There were Ten spealcers This year because The judges oT The eliminaTion conTesT were unable To choose The Tour besT boys ouT OT The six who volun- Teered. They included John Henderson, Jaclc Cary, KenneTh Kimball, RoberT Fuess, Richard McDernnoTT, and Thomas Mclvlahon. There were only Tour girls, however, and They are Janice AbboTT, Doris Com- sToclc, PaTricia SinneTT, and Rosemary Bucci. The Junior High Dance CommiTTee sponsored several successTul dances This year, probably The mosT de- lighTTul being The one held in January. The gym was decoraTed as a nighTclub called Club and colces and cookies were served aT The Tables sur- rounding The walls. The Treshrnan girls also Toolc an acTive parT in sporTs wiTh volley-ball Teams every Wednesday and ping-pong welcome To anyone during The Tree periods. We hope To conTinue as successTully ThroughouT The remainder oT our Tour years as we have been This year.

Every Wednesday and Friday aTTernoon, 8Th peri- ods, a wanderer in The halls mighT sTop and wonder whaT musical company had arrived. Then he would remember ThaT iT was Glee Club day. There are approximaTely 75 members in The chorus making iT one oT The largesT our school has lcnown. Even The man shorTage is iusT slighTly apparenT. The ChrisTmas ConcerT was Tinally given in January aTTer having To be posTponed in December because oT The many illnesses. Some oT The highlighTs oT This perTormance were a girls' sexTeT, a solo by Carolyn Navin, The Czeclcoslavalcian Eollc Song , and We Wish You a Merry ChrisTmas . The laTTer half of The program consisTed OT a cornposiTion enTiTled Noel: A ChrisTmas PoTpourri , which was presenTed by boTh The band and The chorus. Since January The chorus labored on an opereTTa, ln Old Vienna . This was The TirsT Time ThaT an opereTTa was presenTed in B. l-l. S. AT The end oT such a session The Teachers Tincl Themselves delighTTully enTerTained by such excerpTs of The opereTTa as Pickles or The Vision boTh highlighTs oT This musical enTerTainmenT. Under The direcTion oT Mr. Joseph Davis, The academy chorus has conTinued iTs progress Through- ouT The year. Many new Types OT music have been accomplished including A Cappella singing.

As I Turn m speedy space-ship around and head Tor home. my ThoughTs wander as To how The class oT '44 has progressed individually. IT has been TwenTy years since I have seen any oT my classmaTes. Upon landing aT Baldwinsville Air orT, I immediaTely call Tor a Taxi, as iT is noT possible To walk Trom one end oT9The ciTy To The oTher as iT used To be. A cab owned by The RusTy Tax Cab Service drives up, and upon enTering, I Tind iT is owned and operaTed by my old Triend, Les Russ. His backer in'The business is William Goodman, The million dollar playboy. As our gas gauge reads abouT empTy, we drive inTo a nice, clean-looking gas sTaTion where I Tind The gas aTTendanT To be Johnny CurTis. John Tells me he is doing Tine buT ThaT The VanDerveer Garage. in which The Tormer Ann Zahn now has a half-inTeresT, is giving him some sTiTT compeTiTion. We leave John and proceed. NOT having gone Tar, I see a huge sign over The sTreeT which says, EIecT DoroThy Balch Tor Mayor-Send men back To Their homes. Having recovered Trom This. I leave The Taxi and walk in The fresh air Tor awhile. FarTher down The sTreeT I pass anoTher huge sign which reads Wilson's Jewelry STore .

Barb also Tells me ThaT Marcia GaTes and BeaTrice Madden have combined Their Tuneral businesses To eliminaTe all compeTiTion. The secre- Tary oT Joe's concern is Wilma VanDenburg. BeTTy Kingsley has parT inTeresT in Barb's shop, buT is usually busy modeling her beauTiTuI smile in TooTh pasTe ads. I leave Barb and conTinue walking down The sTreeT. All oT a sudden I sTop. Before me sTands a woman whose Tace seems To be enveloped in a head oT red hair. On close inspecTion, I Tind iT To be Helen Henderson, under her Peek-a- boo-bang . She Tells me she is having a dispuTe wiTh Veronica Lake as To which is The originaTor oT This TascinaTing hair-do. She says she has no worries Though, wiTh William Kinslow. now a Supreme CourT judge, handling The case Tor her. She also Tells me ThaT Barbara SargenT, her old sTand-by. has now become Mrs. Barbara Maior by marriage. AT This momenT we hear The mosT Terrifying explosion, buT Helen calmly assures me ThaT iT is only Gerard Chapman experi- menTing wiTh NiTro-Glycerin. Mr. GeTman once claimed ThaT someday he'd Tind a piece oT Gerard hanging on The ceiling oT The chemisTry lab. buT ThaT boy always did seem To lead a charmed liTe. newsman who proves fo be Darrel Coleman.

Darrel fells me fhaf Plainville is a fhriving communify now-a-days and fhaf Ken is doing such a good business fhaf he is able fo finance Jack Gillespie and Aileen Mifchel on fhe radio as Fibber Magee and Molly. As I would like fo visif my old Alma Mafer once more. I leave Darrel and walk foward The school. As I pass one of fhe cify's many fheafers, I see Mary Ryan in fhe fickef boofh. She now owns and operafes a fheafer as well as selling fickefs. I nofice fhaf fhere are fwo sfage performances now playing. The firsf is fhe ZiegfieId Follies sfarring Mefa Brammer. The second is some vaudeville fumbling acfs by Elizabefh Braff, Efhel Cole. Joan Follef. Carolyn Navin, and Jean Borf. I walk on fo fhe high school and upon enfering.
