We shall endeavor to pass on to others the oppor- tunities that they have made available. amp Mr John B. Pilette, Principal O the Class- of 1945-Congratulations and Best Wishes. Your principal is gratified that each of you had the ability, the strength of character, and the perseverance to complete your secondary school train- ing. During these war-time conditions, when industry offers such tempting inducements for young people to leave school, you are to be especially commended for not allowing these temptations to interfere with your high school career. Although you have been high school students during the most horrible conflict the world has ever known, we are confident that you not only have learned many of the basic fundamental skills of reading, writing, and arith- metic, but that you have also developed strong physical, moral, and spiritual traits of character. Always remember that desirable character traits such as reliability, obedience, iudgment, punctuality, and initiative are important factors which are essential to your success in life. We have every reason to believe that you will make the best use of your educational experience and training to help promote and develop a better postwar world. Doris Allen and Helen Loop in the office from HIGH SCHOOL FACULTY Left to right: Allen, Davis, Eddington, Harrison, Smith, Hills, Coit Loop, Galloway, Hamilton, Durkee, Wyckoff, Marr, Gableman, Their, Walhizer Pilette, Goodfellow, Widger, Cary, Sawyer, Olney, Guerrera, Coolidge, Palmer, Durgee is often difficult to express appreciation for the things that have meant the most to us. All through our High School days, each member of our High School Faculty has acted as guide, educator, and friend. We know that often they have had an extremely difficult task, but we know, also, that they have accomplished much. We thank them for the things of value that they have given us. As the years pass these values will increase. LANGUAGE DEPARTMENT I Farewell banquet given by the faculty in honor of Mrs. Slauson, who completed 35 years of service January, 1945.

He has proved most capable and reli- able in filling this position. When there is work to be done, Milt never shirks it, but is always willing to do his share. Likewise, the other officers have proven themselves versatile. Louise Lasher and Carolyn Bowers have previously served as class officers. For three consecutive years Louise has served as vice-president, while Carolyn has served as secretary for two years. This year has been Dorothy Roberts' first year as a class officer. When January rolled around and time for election of new officers, we found it unnecessary to replace these officers. Even though this is Miss Hamilton's first year around the halls of B.H.S., she has worked her way into the Senior activities, and has proved very capable in advising us. WILLIAM BRAUKSIECK .lUgl'lead Marching on Bill left our ranks in December to become a member of the in- fantry. Although he, too, was one of the quieter seniors, his presence was greatly missed at our senior meetings. WALTER CHAMOT Walt Great expectations WaIt's accent is not a southern drawl, but it sure does draw atten- tion as does his excellent technique in interclass basketball. Science is no mystery to him, as the science magazines keep him up-to-date an ALFRED HALLIGAN Al Since you went away Although Al will be graduating from Plattsburg instead of here with us, we feel that he has a definite place in our Lyre. Al was presi- dent of our class during the Freshman, Sophomore, and Junior years, and whatever his plans for the future may be, we're sure they'll be a success. JAMES HARKINS Jimmy Maiden-swoon the discoveries, riving at school each morning in his iitney, he was seldom late. Jim's dramatic talents helped to make the Senior Variety show a success. RICHARD WARNER Dick Quota, wahna? Although the Navy claimed Dick before graduation, he still is well remembered for his skill in basketball. Here's hoping you have lots of luck, Dick. 'KEY MAYNARD BRATT Brat Blow, Gabriel, Blow If while strolling by the audi- torium, you are met by the blare of o trumpet-that's Maynard. Not only is he an essential member of the band, but he also lends his vocal cords in Glee Club. May- nard's height is a great help to the seniors at Interclass basketball. FREDERICK COLLINS Fred Handsome is as handsome does Fred, our handsomest senior, was a wise choice as boys' sports editor of the Lyre. He was star on both the J.V. and Varsity Basketball teams, and in baseball, his pitching was hard to beat. Having been one of the Dancing DarIings, Fred will certainly be able to secure a position with a chorus at any time. NATALIE CLAPP Nat Loud 'clapping' for her No chemical equation puzzles Natalie and chem lab can boast of her as an ardent experimenter. When basketball was in season, the girls found Nat to be one of their best guards. She plans to enter col- lege and study chemistry after graduation. ROBERT CONIBER Bob I've nothing to say Quiet seniors seem to run in poirs. It you see Bob you would expect to see his companion close by. Riding the bus each day, his at- tendance record was nearly perfect. OLIVE ABBOTT Olly Chuck'ed full of fun! Get your tickets everybody! Yes, Olive's the gal that was put to work making the tickets for each senior dance. She is a member of the Triangles and was one of the star players on the girls' volleyball team. Some people may find life a riddle, but not OIIy. MALCOLM BORT Mal Man, the Unknown A newcomer, Malcolm lost no time in acquainting himself with his classmates. Another car owner he, too, drives his putt putt to school each morning. MILTON BILYEU Milt All in favor say I Our class president for both terms and our most popular fellow, Milt has led our class through a successful year. Besides being busy with senior business, he found time for J.V. basketball and Hi-Y activi- ties. In the Senior Variety show, Milt ioined forces with the Dqnc. ing DarIings. CAROLYN BOWERS Buck Call the 'DOC'tor To list CaroIyn's accomplishments would require more room than we have here. Besides being a friend to everyone, she was Girls' Sports Editor for the Lyre, Co-captain of the Seniors' Basketball team, a member of Tri-Y, and Sub Debs, and secretary of the Senior class. Caro- lyn seems to prefer the color red for a reason we all know. YVONNE DeVAUl. Vonnie Wim and Wigor Full of life, Vonnie never tires at anything. Noon hours you could find her playing basketball, dancing or what have you. Her musical ability is greatly noted in Glee Club and band. DOUGLAS FAILING Gus Moron? or More off Doug's quick wit has made him JAMES DOW Rowdy Silence? What's that? We weren't able to figure out whether it's Rowdy that makes the noise or his car. Always ready to add his ten cents, he is a member of Hi-Y, interclass basketball, and he has a hand in writing the class prophecy. Jimmy's plans include the Navy. well liked by all who know him. Besides keeping English classes in an uproar, he played interclass basketball and his clever drawings helped to make each senior dance a success. Will you ever forget him as a Dancing Darling? JOHN FANCHER Fanch Jack of all trades Jack's quiet! He's quiet when he's asked a question in Social Studies, English or Physics classes. However, he has taken an active part in ,l.V. basketball, Hi-Y, and he assisted in Boys Sports for the Lyre. His plans after graduation include the Navy. BURTON CREGO Burt Words of wisdom We're one of the few classes that can boast of twins. Quieter than his sister, Burt can find a solution to any math problem. He, also, was re- sponsible for selling advertising for the Lyre. VIRGINIA CREGO Ginny Oh Johnny With that smile, we find Ginny a nice person to know. A member of Tri-Y, Triangles, and Journalism, she topped all seniors in magazine sales. Her favorite color? Why, navy blue, of course. EARL CREGO Shorty Talks least, says most One of the more silent members of our class, Earl is a whiz in math and science. Mr. Crego rides the buses and during the noon hour, he can be found shooting baskets with the Barnyard League. Yes, a defi- nite genius, that Earl. MARY DELANEY Mary Mary is a little lamb An expert typist, Mary was snatched by the Journalism Club to type for the paper and she was also the Secretary-Trieasurer for the club. Mary helped to defend the senior name in Interclass Basketball and Volleyball. Dependable? A-for Mary. iw nl MONA GUYVITS Mona lt doesn't mean a thing lf it ain't got that swing Is Jergens the answer? Mona's graceful hands cause others to turn green with envy. Her ability to argue developed from the practice of always expressing her thoughts. Basketball being her favorite sport, she was a big help on Girls' lnter- class team. HENRIETTA HARRINGTON Hank Our mutual friend Hank's size has nothing to do with her many accomplishments. Our most respected senior, she sings in Glee Club, was president of Jour- nalism, a member of Triangles, and Assistant Feature Editor of the Lyre. Hank rates an A-plus for efficiency in all she does. JANE HAMLIN Can it, Ham! Hammie's good naturedness and ready smile have gained for her many friends. She has taken part in Glee Club, Girls' Basketball, Vol- leyball, Triangles, Journalism, and she sold loads of advertising for the Lyre. Janie?-she's tops! Hammie JACQUELINE HELMBOLD Jackie Devil may care Jackie is often seen but seldom heard, although she can play a snappy game of basketball. This skill came in handy on the lnterclass Basketball team. She was circula- tion manager for the Lyre this year and did a very good iob. She, also, has been very active in Triangles these past four years. FREDERICK FUESS Terry ldiot's Delight Fred was always present at the scene of a crime with his camera ready to take pictures. By no means one of the quieter members of the class, he was active in Hi-Y, inter- class basketball, and Glee Club. Chemistry lab claimed Fred as one of its ardent experimenters. JOHN GOLDEN Jack Silence is golden Jack is one of the Co-Editors of the Lyre and he's certainly a swell fellow to work with. Another one of our Dancing Darlings, Jack was a member of Hi-Y and Sea Scouts. He plans to enter the Coast Guard after graduation. Best of luck, Jack. MARGUERITE GALLAGHER Peggy Laugh, clown, laugh We are proud to have Peggy as our prettiest senior. Another wit of the class, she altered serious competition to the boys in basket- ball for her accuracy in long shots. Through Peg's hard work, the Sen- ior Variety show proved a big suc- cess. MARJORIE GREEN Margie Carrot top Red hair and freckles, Margie served on various senior committees. ln sports she chose volleyball and basketball as her favorites. Upon graduating, Mariorie's sure to make someone a super secretary. DONALD KRATZER Don Clock watcher Thinking of engaging in farming? Just ask Don for any information you want on the subiect. His record in 4-H is enough recommendation for anyone. Don't flood the markets, Don. EDWARD LAWRENCE Ed Dear hunter This is our smart senior that grad- uated in January. He was a Danc- ing Darling in the Senior Variety Show. He was also chosen as the most athletic boy in the senior parade. As captain of the Varsity Basketball team and stout supporter of the Football team, one could rec- ognize that physique a mile away. LOUISE LASHER Weasel Fight, team, tight! This cute senior is the co-editor of our Lyre, was one of the moron sisters in the Variety Show, and keeps her speaking voice in trim by hlling the position of head cheer- leader. As if this weren't enough, she also boosts the class on lnter- class Basketball team. Keep up the good work. EVALDA LITTLE Queenie Little do we know Evalda sets a good example for our seniors by attending .church regularly, The Senior Chorus will miss a good alto upon graduation, and one would do well to observe her athletic technique. ALICE HORNER Alice She sends me Being a Horner, it is only natural that she should play the baritone horn in band. Her alto voice was a necessity in Glee Club, and as a member of the Lyre Staff, she was kept busy typing. She certainly knows how to type right. MARGARET KIMBER Pete Corn on the cob Between her duties on the Lyre Staff and her score of other inter- ests, Pete is kept very busy. When she wasn't wishing to get the School Daze printed on time, one could find her working on her corn production. That's a record crop, Pete. ERWIN HULBERT Erwin Anchors aweigh February found Erwin pulling up anchors and going a-weigh. While he was with us, he supported the seniors on their basketball team. Our loss-the Navy's gain. ELLA JANE KINGSLEY Ellie Of thee I sing The song bird of the Senior class has long been noted for her musical ability. The Senior Variety show ex- hibited her dramatic talent and noon hour finds her displaying abil- ity in basketball. Yes, Ellie is a girl of many arts. tang., 1 'A DOROTHY NIVER Dot Angel in disguise This quiet little girl has found time during the four years to play basketball, work on the School Daze, and sing in the chorus. As if this weren't enough, she can be found constantly in the company of another of our etticient seniors. DOROTHY ROBERTS Dot Pride and prejudice Our most reliable Senior aided in writing the Class Phophecy for the Lyre, Her record as having done the most for the school is strength- ened by her work as president of Journalism Club and Treasurer of the Senior class. Besides all this, she still finds time for Glee Club and Triangles. Keep up the good work, Dot. CHARLES RIDALL Chuck ls it possible? Telegram! As a combination mes- senger boy and soda ierk in the local drugstore, Chuck sure does pretty well and there was nothing lacking when he took part in the Senior Variety Show, either. BETTY ROGERS Betty Betty Coed Betty has been rather quiet these past four years busily pursuing her studies. She has been ready and willing to support the class at any time. ln her leisure she acts as an usher in the local theater. MARY JEAN LOVELESS Mary Jean SSS-Boom! This little girl is our chemistry genius. Although she is very quiet, her efforts are sure appreciated in Chemistry Lab. Any unexpected ex- plosion coming from Room 201 can be traced to Mary Jean and her experiments. JANE MARTIN Janie Mystery lady No detention for Jane. Since she arrives on the bus every day, her standing excuse for tardiness leaves her no guilty conscience. ERNESTINE MARSHALL Tina Journey's end Being the only senior girl who can drive a car, she has solved many a transportation problem, and as assistant circulation manager for the Lyre, she sure gets around. Her athletic ability, also, came in handy on the sports team. AUDREY NEY Jeep Nay, nay, Audrey Audrey is accomplished in many arts. Her drawing ability was made use of by the Lyre, the class, and Journalism Club. In the Senior parade, her dancing technique was made note of and the Interclass Basketball games showed up her skill in sports. Yes, wherever art is needed, Audrey is there. RICHARD WALKER Richie No strings on me Want to know how to cut a rug ? Just call on Richie. Our Fred Astaire is also noted for his lengthy line which manages to get him in and out of many scrapes. And not to be slighted is his ath- letic ability, which was very notice- able in the football and basketball games, also in swimming. ZOE Wl'llTE Zoe She keeps us posted Need a poster made? Zoe is your girl, for she has had plenty of ex- perience making them for the l.yre, Senior events, and Journalism Club. Girls' Interclass Basketball and Vol- leyball were also among her inter- ests. Her all-around good nature and ready smile has won her many friends these past four years. ELEANOR WELLER Ellie GoIdi-locks This pretty Senior hasn't been with us very long, but she hasn't failed to impress us with her golden locks. Although she never says much at class meetings, she is al- ways willing ta help with every- thing planned. WILLIAM WILBUR Claude Invitation to learning This reserved Senior has tended strictly to business these past tour years. His strict attention to school work has rewarded him with plenty of time to act as usher at the movies. DONALD SCHENCK Don Tall, blonde, and-welll All the girls want to know where you got that smo-o-th complexion, Don. Maybe it's because you come from the nice country every morn- ing. If so, more girls will move to Plainville. Get that gleam out of your eye! EARL VOORHEES Earl Look out, Truman! Although this senior hails from the country, he seems to get around quite a bit. Besides being master of ceremonies in our Variety Show, he is active on the Interclass Basket- ball team. The 4-H Club also holds his interest. Earl's ready humor is able to keep anvone merry and has given him many friends. BETTY TILLOTSON Betty Ain't misbehaving Betty is one of our quieter sen- iors who seems to have made very definite plans for the future. She will be remembered by everyone as an able supporter of our class. The best ot luck to you, Betty, in your career as housewife. KENNETH WALDRON Bone l love a parade The clown of our senior class has won many friends with his good- natured fun. His hobby is collecting blue ribbons for his horse, GoIdie. Always to be depended upon, Kenny will lend a hand wherever needed. Maynard Brall Zoe While .M.,,.Wp..,,...-ff-- Erwin Hulberl Twin louise Lasher Jane Hamlin 2- Q , l, X -.Q --.. 1 ,- f liz .

BASEBALL, 1944 The 'I944 baseball team concluded their season by winning two out of tive of their league games. Of the two games won they were the only team in the county who succeeded in beating Solvay, the county league champs. This team was the last to be coached by Wesley A.

VARSITY BASKETBALL, 1944-45 This year's varsity basketball team started the season with only two veterans back from last year. The remaining positions were composed of first-year varsity men. They played good, clean and hard- fought basketball, but fate was against them and they ended the season with only one win against eleven defeats in the county league schedule1 In the non- league games, however, the team won three out of a possible four.

The girls enioy their interesting forty minutes, even though they gripe about aching backs and sore muscles. There is visible evi- dence of improvement both in volleyball and basketball this year, with almost every girl taking an active part in one or both sports. Volleyball was never played as exten- sively by the girls as it was this year. Constant practice pro- duced many excellent players. Zoe White, .loan Lawrence, Doreen Redman, and Doris Lister have shown real ability, which is easily noticed by on-lockers. GIRLS' BASKETBALL Girls' interclass basketball has provided many thrills this year, what with the close games and the stiFf competition offered by each team. Under the direction of Miss Galloway, the girls have learned the finer points of the game and have shown considerable improvement over last year. Among the more noted bas- keteers are: Yvonne Russ, Josephine Di Toro, Marybelle Pilette, Betsy Miller, and Joan Lawrence, whose combined skill and accuracy brought the Junior l's to a victorious season.

VIRGINIA CREGO EARL VOORHEES 79 A HIS prophecy is written in the form of a letter to James Dow, member of the Senior Class of 1945. The time is 1970. He has become the famed Dr. Dow. Since he was unable to attend the class reunion of 1970, this letter was written to inform him of all the events that transpired at that time, and to inform him concerning the prosperity and whereabouts of his classmates. January 28, 1970, 9:15 p.m. Dear Dr. Dow, I was very disappointed that you found it impossible to attend the Winter Carnival given by the Baldwinsville High School Senior Class of 1970 in tribute to our class, the class of '45, all of 25 years ago. But a doctor's life never changes. It is never his own, so I thought you would like to know a little of what transpired. Of course, you were not the only one who was unable to be there, but for all of us who were that fortunate, we now feel 25 years younger. I was very surprised that many of our classmates' children are looking forward to their graduation in June, and it will not be too many years before others are planning for the same. It hardly seems possible, does it, Jimmy? But time certainly does flyl Even Dottie Niver's twins are graduating. Pat and Patty were in charge of the entire carnival. I was the Wood- rutfs' guest for this holiday occasion. The first event on the program was a sleigh-ride to Bee Heights Grove, owned and operated by Fred Collins. Kenny Waldron, with his youngest, led, as usual, our unusual but exciting ride. Kenny owns sev- eral horse ranches throughout the world, but his headquarters still remain in B'ville. As soon as we had started, a good old familiar voice was heard. Yes, it was Hamie. Jane, by the way, still on the loose, has been successful in purchasing teen-age apparel and managing iointly the Big-Bigger Shoppe with Doug Failing as business manager in the high-school boys' salon. We were then interrupted by a loud and persistent honk of a car horn with Ernie Marshall dressed up in a clown snow suit at the wheel. Pete Kimber, Audrey Ney, and Milt Bilyeu were along, for shall we say The ride. Soon they were off again and iust stopped to say Hi and our class' old stand-by, l'll Be Seeing You. Ernie is a traveling salesman now for the Harkins- Golden Auto Company combination. Remember Pete was always throw- ing her corney poems around? Well, in a few more years she really will have competition, for her little O.B., whom she was carrying on her lap, was proving to be quite a character! Jeep, only a little gray- haired, is a housewife, but does a little interior day-sighing on the side. Milt and Jack Fancher are now remodeling their B. F. and Son Colossal Market. They also have a priority chain of grocery stores, including those of Jordan and a section of Syracuse. The next instant I heard a group singing the Alma-Mater. Ed Lawrence and The Voice, Maynard Bratt, seemed to be drowning everybody out. About five years ago Ed succeeded in taking over the English Department. Oh well, something would be missing in the faculty if we didn't have an Ed. Some place! Maynard and Alice Horner have been very successful with their musical careers and, thanks to them, Baldwinsville High remains at the top of the list with its band and chorus. As it started in getting colder, our voices could be heard all over the countryside singing the everlasting favorite, White Christmas. Next we found ourselves, for the time being anyway, at our destina- tion or really at the beginning of an unforgettable day. Three guesses who gave me a lift down from the sleigh? No, it was not Chuck Ridall. He and Olive Abbott have lnot only in business but otherwisel proprietorship in the Corner Pharmacy. And wrong againl It was not Dick Warner, for he telegraphed that he and Admiral Don Schenck were detained with a Navy appointment which must come first. Yes, Dick Walker, the gallant guy himself. Dick's and Vonnie DeVaul's adolescents are dating each other and Vonnie told me later in the day that puppy love is still at her doorstep. After all these years, it really isn't hard to visualize Dick settled down, or is it? With whom! Your guess is as good as mine! The next minute the group of young people and we oldsters were called together by Earl Voorhees and his son as Master of Ceremonies. Perhaps you have seen Earl over your radio as father to Albert White, the Henry Aldrich of our era. Earl told us that we were all to be divided into four groups: taboggoning, ice skating, skiing, snow shoeing. We all took our pick and, surprisingly enough, snow shoeing won out by the maiority, therefore, we all went in one body. A progressive dinner was the next event on the program, and snow shoeing up to Ginny Crego's old homestead was somethingl Once there, though, everything did look mighty good, but Ginny always did have a special knack all her own of making everybody comfortable. Ginny's brother, Burton, runs the farm and has enlarged it consider- ably with all the agricultural get-ups he has had a hand in. Weasel Lasher and Buck Bowers walked in next. Naturally, everybody knows how they have spent all their time. Weasel and Buck are neighbors on Elm Drive. Both have cute little bungalows and are happy with George and that red-headed doctor. lt is iust as you would expect, Carolyn's son and Weasel's daughter are together most of the time. Our next stop was at Fred Fuess' mansion. Remember the size of it? Well, spread your imagination a little further, for Fred now has a castle. At Fred's, we took loads of pictures. Many of our old teachers dropped in to say Hello. Mrs. Goodfellow, still living on Chestnut, is retired but still is an active part of B.H.S. And if you are up on your politics, Mr. Eddington recently made his debut in politics. Earl Crego had much to do with this in his daily B'ville Commentator. Miss Hamilton, now a Mrs., but still keeping her husband's appearance a mystery, spent the remainder of the day with us. A very welcome sight was Cussy. Some of the gang hadn't seen her since our Junior picnic at the Harris camp and she is equally successful with all her friends. Cussy is still Cussy and will never changel After leaving the castle, our sleighs met us and oR again to a course with Hank Harrington. Hank, still a perk little blonde, remains especially efficient in getting things done. Don Kratzer and Malcomb Bort kept us buzzing with amusements. Don and Malcomb were always noted for this. Today they are vacationing from keeping our roads plowed. Suddenly an explosion occurred. Nat Clapp, our chemist, had conglomerated some sort of a mixture of nitric acid. Evalda Little and Mary Jean Loveless were soon to her rescue, for they are Nat's lab assistants at the Clapp Research Institution. Soon after the sudden out- burst, we bundled up and were ot? to our final destination, a secret to we oldsters. I need not tell you that the gym did look mighty good. Naturally, it has expanded with the centralized school, but iust being there was a welcome thought. Walter Chamot and Bob Coniber had the fireplaces besides the furnace brewing with heat for us upon our arrival. Everybody's conversation was interrupted by a square set, called off by Erwin Hulbert. Finally, we sat down and watched the younger generation with this new-fangled stuff they call dancing. Ella Jane Kingsley met me and she had writer's cramp from auto- graphying her new novel, Destiny's Edge. We had quite a chat about Mona Guyvits' dramatic career. Jackie Helmbold, our news re- porter, burst into the room announcing that Zoe White had just arrived from abroad where she had been on a sight-seeing tour. Zoe met Marjorie Green while in Switzerland and persuaded her to return to the states for a visit. Mary Delaney announced that she had iust talked to Jane Martin on the telephone. Jane and Bill Brauksieck wanted to be remembered to all of us. Jane is secretary to Betty Rogers, who owns the Roger's, Inc., Theaters. Willie Wilbur is her right hand agent. Then Betty Tillotson ioined our gift of gab. Betty, you know, is the envy of all B'vilIe with her beautiful home. Well, Jimmy, the party began to break up shortly, and after fare- wells were made, each of us is finding it very difficult to resume his individual life. But as all good things must come to an end, my letter too must have an ending. Give my regards to that blonde beauty of a nurse, Eleanor Weller, and remember me to Dr. Busy Bee, alias Peg Gallagher, Chief of Staff at your hospital. Sincerely, DOT ROBERTS 7 945 sincere thanks for the splendid co-operation received dur- ' T this time the class of 1945 expvesses to the faculty our ing our high school days in Baldwinsville Academy. As we look back through the four years which are now history, we realize that we have gained much. We now experience sorrow in knowing our high school days are nearly over. We realize that many friendships will be terminated, and new responsibilities must be assumed by each and every senior. As we, the FRESHMEN, headed by Alfred Halligan, entered 206 and 109 we had the feeling for which we had long waited. We were FRESHMEN ! This was a year of wonder for all of us. There were many different rules and regulations that we had to abide by. This year passed along quickly, and with the help of Mr. Guerrero, who supervised those Junior High Dances, we made the whole year a success. Our Junior High Orators attained supreme eloquence in March 1942, and won top honors in the Junior Prize Speaking Contest. With Alice Horner and Richard Walker winning first prize, Jane Hamlin and Robert Doran followed with the second reward. Alice Horner was not only top winner of the Prize Speaking Contest, she also won the Kiwanis Schol- arship Prize. After our long summer vacation, we the SOPHOMORES, in the Fall of 1942, proudly marched to 106. We now no longer were looked upon as a burden to Democracy, nor Babies of Baldwinsville Junior High. Though our activities were limited, the Social Studies 10 class, headed by Miss Thier, spent a pleasant afternoon at Harris' camp, with Dorothy Roberts as our hostess. Dorothy, who is active in the school's activities, also won the cup awarded by Mrs. Goodfellow for her out- standing averages in Latin I and Il. After completion of the Sophomore year many students during their summer vacation took war work. Though this was one more step toward victory, it also made us realize that many would not return. Sure enough, in September 1943 our class had diminished considerably. With the aid of Alfred Halligan, who was again elected President of our class, and Mrs. Cussler, we mighty Juniors were able to sponsor many more pleasing events. Some of our great successes were a bicycle ride and a Potato Pickers' Prance. The ambitious members of the class helped boost our class treasury by easing the farmer labor shortage, and depositing funds earned in the treasury of the class. Again two members of our class won high honors. Earl Crego was awarded the Science Honor by maintaining a high average in Physics, and Margaret Kimber in May 1944 won the Jessie W. Jones Memorial Speaking Con- test. ln the fall of 1944, with the honking of horns and the squealing of brakes, if they had ony, and the rattles of their famed limousines, we had all we needed to know that the seniors were going to make a BOOM year of it. Yes, with Waldron and Rowdy Dow discussing how to repair cars, other seniors were busy preparing for the Magazine Contest which would soon be under way. Milton Bilyeu Lbetter known as Miltl, was elected by the maiority of the class as President. Milt proved to be a good leader, not only ta the Senior class, but on the J.V. Basketball squad as well. The class began to realize that the value of its treasury was de- creasing and that many dollars would be needed to fulfill the obliga- tions of the class. This was responsible for the Senior Shindig, the Senior Variety Show, and the Football Dance. With three successes in a row, the Seniors had the feeling that they could really accomplish great things. Again the Seniors sponsored a Christmas Ball. We didn't make money, but we had a wonderful time. It was really one of the high- lights of our senior year. Finally the Mid-Year Exams came. The Seniors laid aside their class activities and began studying hard. Some tried to complete their subiects by taking Regents and others studied hard to maintain a standing average to graduate. We did pretty well with those exams. Ed Lawrence, Annetta Davis, and Frederica Montague, who completed graduation requirements, left us in January. The Seniors, always happy over the success of others, felt like giving their life away. They dug deep into their pockets, and rooms 105 and 107 went 100 per cent Red Cross and supported the March of Dimes equally as well. Again we must not fail to mention that our classmate, Fred Collins, was victor at the Foul-Shooting Meet at Syracuse in March. Fred, who topped the score 33 out of 40, was awarded the trophy for high achievement in shooting fouls. While most of the class is helping out by doing some kind of a iob on the home front, Bill Brauksieck is with the United States Army and Erwin Hulbert and Richard Warner are with the United States Navy. These boys, leaving for the service this year, were members of our class. We certainly miss them, and we wish those boys the best of luck in the months ahead. We Seniors have worked hard to reach our destiny, and now that we are so close, we the Class of 1945 pledge all the accomplishments that we believe we have attained ta the making of a better world, of which we are so soon to become a more active part. --.....g,,...?,-W W 1.-.....a----u---...-.......,, 1 hw f Q X, 1--N ev. .NW 1n N,-3,-'af' 111 wifi -,gm 555 E S, ,saga Q W - K 1, .. ,mQ4,,,,, ,,f .. .
