DEDICATION We, the Senior Class, wish to dedicate this Lyre to our principal, Mr. Benedict, for all his help and useful suggestions which were put forth with a willing hand and cheerful smile. 3 ALMA MATER I Where the golden sunset mellow Tints the Western sky Proudly stands our Alma Mater On her hilltop high. Chorus Join the chorus speed it onward Loud her name we yell Hail to thee our Alma Mater Hail, all hail B'ville. II So she stands upon the campus ’Mong the towering trees Gentle nature wafts her praises On the evening breeze III When the future years o’ertake us And we leave our halls We shall always love and cherish Days within thy walls. IV Loyal to thee Alma Mater Shall we always be And we'll always keep forever Sweet thy memory. BOARD OF EDUCATION Alex F. Jones, Jr., Pres.

We wish to thank them for all the favors, and odd jobs they did for us, all the time never uttering a single word against us. They deserve all the credit we can give them. Thank you, Mr. Austin, Mike, Brad Hamm, Don Hammond, Mr. Currie, Mary VandcrBerg, Mary Johnson and Doris Meaker, from the Class of ’49. Left to right: Mary Johnson, Doris Meaker, Betsy Miller Hughes, Mary VanderBerg. 12 SENIORS Being the president of the Senior class is an honor, yes, but it's even more of an honor when the president is in office for the entire year. But, in Janu. ary when we were thinking about electing the new officers for the remain- der of the year, there was no question about who we wanted for the head job. And so Elbe stayed in, and proved to all that she can tackle anythin� Those Senior meetings were a struggle for anybody, but Ellie got enough order out of them to get her point across when nobody else could. Her indomitable spirit kept her in good stead in the fight of remaining sane throughout the year. Ellie, we salute you ! To Miss Winchell go the thanks of the entire class of '49, for her untir- ing and always faithful efforts on our behalf. Everyone knows of M-ss Winchell's record as class advisor — director of the Senior play, aided us on our Junior play, advised us on all important class discussions, and advised us on our biggest undertaking of all, the publishing of the Lyre. Without Miss Winchell, our class meetings would have been much out of hand, and we never would have made the name for ourselves that we have. Miss Winchell, we want to thank you for all you have done for us, and we also want to salute you, as our class advisor, in our final year. Thank you. —Class of '49 CAROLYN AUYER ''Mac” Her-Ray! Her-Ray! That’s Car- olyn’s favorite cheer. She's one of the reasons why B’ville can be so proud of its cheerleading squad. Activities? Band, basketball, vol- leyball, Junior play, and don't for- get Ray! MILDRED BAKER Milly” Milly” is the reason why the local bijou is so popular. She’s the main- stay of the Palace, vice-president of Tri-Y, and plays volleyball and basketball, too. RONALD BARNUM Ronny” And in this corner, the blonde bombshell from B’ville!’’ Yep, that’s our boy, Ronny. But boxing isn’t his only sport; oh, no. He starred on the gridiron and the diamond as well as in the ring. Without Ronny on the team, B’ville wouldn't have stood a chance. DOUGLAS BLANCHARD Doug B'ville’s Peter Lawford can often be found wandering around the Sunset Terrace district; I wonder why! He was the masterful lover of the Junior play, the spark of the football line-up, and a class officer besides. DORIS BRAND Doris One of the silent partners of the class, Doris is living proof that good things come in small pack- ages. She is the little girl with the ready smile. DOROTHEA BROWN Dotty She’s got red hair, and figure, too. Basketball and volleyball are her sports, and her motto? Silence is agreement.” 15 Sc5S ANN BUCCI Ann” And now we come to the brains o the class. And the chairman of th -antten committee, and a co-edito of the and a member of Jour nalism. Red Cross, and presiden f Tr, v- Whew! All that in on person. NANCY CARTER Denny” There's nothing more fun than a man, and the more the merrier That's Denny's motto—but she had time to be in the Senior play, and to be in Tri Y, and on the Canteen committee, too. Busy gal, our Nancy. LOUISE CHAPPELL Weasie She s at the top of every popular- ity poll, and can usually be found in the company of Powers and Nye, Inc. She is our leading sportster, and is known as the Personality Kid.” All sports took her time, hut Sub-Debs had its turn, as well. BEVERLY CHURCH Bev” qu.et. but who knows’what ; cover up? Thetnl'o1; -.n.,a vLand Tnang‘“ DONALD COLE Coke” RCoopc-r. Cole and Loop Bvilles top selling tycoor cret of their success? Th DeSoto that has seen ne Vnih St V,CC' in ,he ' teres; Lkn but alS0 Coke'S I kaboodle.' Handy on the I I neup, prexy of the Sopl «• JAMES COLEMAN Chick If you can catch him with his pant legs up, gals, get a load of those legs! OOO-Ia-la! Seriously, tho’, Chich has made a name for himself in the short time that he's been with us, both on the baseball dia- mond, and on the auditorium stage. Hi-Y has claimed him, too. • WILLIAM COOPER ’Bill” Another one of those 3rd ward- ers” Bill really knows how to liven things up. There's never a dull moment when Bill’s there. He was one of the best committee workers we had, and Lyre staff would have been lost without him aiding with the sale of the advertising. MARY CURRIE Mary” Another of our class brains, Mary has added a cheerful note to the old home-room. Hear that? That was her hearty laugh—you can’t help but grin when you hear it. Red Cross and girls' sports took up her spare time, and Tri-Y, too. FREDERICK CURRIER Fred” That new coupe that Fred’s driving has become a landmark—when you see it coming, run! Fred did a lot for the class; he took part in the Junior play, Interclass, Prize Speaking and Demolay. Always a willing worker, Fred's future looks bright. KENNETH DEITZ ' Ken Our voung man with a horn; Ken can be heard at most any time of day, practicing, he says. School will never be the same without his ac- companiment to French lessons, homework and Latin verbs. JOHN DELANEY Honest John Ah, yes. And now, we come to Honest John. There’s a lot to be said for him—the Seniors did a good job when they voted him the best apple-polisher; he’s got all the kids wrapped around his little finger. Student Council owes him its greatest thanks, and we'll miss that big grin and those jokes in assembly. Baseball and chorus will miss him, too. EMMETT DeVAUL Shorty I’ve heard that Emmett is quite an authority on First Aid—could that be Sea Scout training? Wonder who he practices on? Norma? Barnyard, band and chorus have kept him busy, on the side. 17 YVONNE DUGER Vonnie Where would the Journalism Club have been without her? Editor, Feature Editor, and treasurer’s posts have claimed her as well as band. Those drums haven’t been as loud since she left. While not drumming away on all those activ- ities, basketball and volleyball saw a lot of her. BETTY DUNHAM Betty” One of our more quiet Seniors, (there are a few), Betty will be the perfect secretary. Any office should to proud to have her on its staff. Basketball and volleyball saw the most of her during school. RUTH ELLITHORPE Pat A newcomer from Buffalo last fall, Ruth has made a spot for herself among the Seniors. Her wit and sense of humor, not to mention her argumentative powers, have bright- ened up many a dull day and dull class. Buffalo's sports must have missed her, basketball, volleyball, shuffleboard, and swimming teams in particular. alan hORSSELL Fog The force of his own merit makes his way, and that sums it up in one statement. Yes, he’s another of our brains and active one at that. Band, Explorer scouts and dance band have filled up his spare mo- ments. kalPH GATES Pearly Pearly is the last of the Gat that we hate to say. Last 1 least, by any means. He’s very active member of ou — chorus, basketball; int Hi-Y, and the Senior play the lead. Besides that, he i the Junior class with great ; ROBERT GERMAIN Bob Don’t let that dreamy, faraway look fool you—he’s undoubtedly hatching some fiendish scheme with which to bother not only his teachers but some poor unsuspect- ing female. In his off moments, he found time to play basketball, baseball, and vice prexied the Hi-Y. 18 RUTH GRUBER Reggie Here’s the gal we envy — who wouldn't like to go to Europe? She's also the gal to run to when your homework gets tough. Be- sides keeping the Student Council minutes in order, she boosted bas- ketball, Senior chorus, Lyre Staff, Red Cross and the Junior and Sen- ior plays. WARD HAMMOND Red Ward can be talkative when the occasion arises; but you wouldn't believe it to look at him. He can make noise on a clarinet, that’s for sure; he can do some yelling on the baseball field, too. VIRGINIA HARTWELL Ginny Another living proof that big tilings come in small packages. She may be small, but, boy!! Can she set studyhall on its ear. She can sing, too, as her four years in chorus proves. Journalism and dance band took up what time was left after she watched baseball practice. ARTHUR HELMBOLD Art KATHERINE HIGGINS Kate” MYRON HOWARD Pick and Shovel That horse laugh you just heard coming from the back of Room 2 was undoubtedly coming from A. Helmbold, connoiseur of wine and women. And how! When he’s not letting off steam verbally, he can be seen showing some poor girl the latest dance step—usually one that he, and only he, can fol- low. Poor little Kate. She’s the one that always gets heckled—but evidently she can give as well as take. She deserves a service medal for her loyalty to the band—8 years of it —that’s loyalty if there ever was any. How will they ever get along without her? Myron has passed among us, his presence always noticed, but a more quiet member of our ranks. He was always on hand if you needed him, and that’s what counts. 19 RICHARD JOHNSTON Dick Dick was the mechanic-in-chief of the class—that poor scooter of his got taken apart more times than it was ridden. When he wasn’t get- ting greasy hands, he could be found heading for Lysander, or for a meeting of the Canteen commit- tee, or was seen racing down the hails, bound for the Board Room for the Student Council meeting Busy boy, our Dick. LAWRENCE KEEFER Larry” He kept the English class in stitches with his tales of falling down silos and getting carried away on the fenders of strange cars. It's a wonder he’s still with us! But with us he is—as his ac- tions on the Barnyard basketball team proved. We re all so glad that he’s immune to silos and car fenders. ANN KING Klink’’ With her wit and sence of humor, Klink has been an indispensable one. Many a day would have gone by unheeded and forgotten, but for Ann and some crack she had to offer. East Oneida Street has seen a lot of her lately—baby sit- ting, she says. But she's been busy in school, too—volleyball, basket- ball, Triangles, and chorus taking the lead. FRANK KOWALSKI Frank” When looking for Frank, look for reen s9( 0,tcr. flanked by two thers, parked on the four corners and sure enough! There’s Frank.’ One of the Three Motivated usketeers, that scooter is his first thought But he did find time play football and was in the classical dub, too. the KENNETH KRAFFT Mayor” And now we come to the Bil of the ranks; in other words eternal joker of the class. Wit Mayor, we would have sat thr many an uneventful day Who it that could talk back to ' Winchell, and make her lai WT,,1' tha‘ kc'P‘ not wh?.T u but al1 ,he cl''«e FREDERICK LAMSON Fred Fred passed among us unobtrus- ively but left his mark as a hard working, persistent person. He worked hard to graduate, and our only regret is that he won't be on the stage in June to receive his diploma with the entire class. Our best wishes and hopes for your fu- ture go with you, Fred; we all hope that you will always win the rewards you fully deserve. We were proud to have you as a class- mate. 20 MARY LISTER Red” With her red hair and snappy re- marks, Mary has made a perman- ent place in the roster of good seniors. She’ll be a terrific secre- tary; anybody want to get their bid in early? There’ll be a waiting line, I'll guarantee. Basketball and volleyball kept her busy when she could tear herself away from the typing room. RONALD LOOP Ronnie Ronnie is the Farley Granger of the class—the tall, rangy devil of the class. His good looks and snappy dress have broken more feminine hearts than is fair for one lad, but what can you do? You’re lost. The football and Interclass teams found him a willing and able player, and the Hi-Y didn't seem to lose too much money while he was its chief money holder. CHARLES LORY Chuck” Chuck not only won himself the title of the most respected lad in the cless, but also headed the Hi-Y with great success. Band claimed him as a great horn blow- er, and basketball and Interclass took up the rest of his spare time. DOROTHY LOVELESS Dot A loyal member of the band, Dot faithfully totes her horn to school on band days. 4H takes much of her time, and interest, as well as a certain person from Split Rock. NORMA LOVELESS Norma Although she had a long walk to school, Norma quite often has someone to keep her company— Emmet? Another band member, Norma is active in chorus, basket- ball and volleyball. PATRICIA MANSEAU Pat- Sure and if it isn't Rosalie from our Senior olay. A busy gal if there ever was one, Pat could be found flipping a sundae at the Corner Pharmacy busily writing a column for the Messinger, or laboring over an article for the School Daze. New York Times, here she comes! 21 MARY MARDEN Muggins” Horrors! The deadline is tomor- row, but don't worry if Muggins is on the problem. As feature edi- tor of the Lyre, she had plenty of headaches. She has the added dis- tinction of being able to zoom otf into the wide blue yonder — (at the drop of $8). Besides her many school activities, Muggins seems to find plenty of time for a certain person whose initials are ''Russ.” PETER McMANUS Pete Pete has earned the title of being the most reliable Senior, and then topped that by adding the name of the hardest working Senior, too. (Just ask Miss Steirly.) He worked hard on the School Daze, as its editor for a year, and went around school begging people to please hand in their articles. A good man to have around, is McManus; he knows how to get things done. GERALD McNISH Jerry Dig out the cards, find three more people and Jerry’s got a card game going. Gamblin' man, that Me- Nish. A screwball, a brain, and a joker, all wrapoed up in one. And you should hear him giggle — Peter has the effect on him of mak- ing him burst into gales of laugh- ter every time Jerry so much as looks in that direction. Lyre Staff, football and French Club were his most outstanding activities. MARGARET MELVIN Maggie” That red light must have green on the other side! ( that was such a beautiful car n t it ? But really, we shouldn Maggie like that; she can , even if she is a woman! At that s what she says. ROBERTA MILLER Bobbie T-E-A-M! T-E-A-M! Who’s leading the cheer? Who else? Yep, Bobbie's followed the footsteps of her family tradition, and has been yelling for the school for a good many years. This year she was an easy choice for the head cheer- leader. Girls' sports, all of 'em, that is, band and Sub Debs were her favorite activities. NICA MILLS •’Muncie” esnt say much; sh£ our quiet ones. SM d for the class, and ws land if you needed volleyball and Ar Cia� lsy through school. r NILES MINNOE Bye” On his activity sheet, on which we were to put our names, and activi- ties, Bye put down Football, 2 years, and Girls, A years. That gives you a good idea of Bye’s na- ture in one sentence. A joker, all die time, and a wit, (should there be Nit in front of that?) the rest of the time. English class got a lot of laughs because of him; but he was a good worker, and an active lad. Besides the above men- tioned activities, he took part in the Senior play, and wowed ’em. ARLENE MOORE R. D. Belle” The gal with the oomph,” and the looks and the figure to go with it, R. D. Belle has been a most in- spiring addition to the cheering ranks. Sub Debs, and the Red Cross took up her time. CHARLES MOORE Sunshine” One more couple! Swing you: gal and dosy-do around the cor- ner.” Ah yes—a guitar, a micro- phone and Sunshine, and what have you got? Why, a square dance natch! And can he call,— why, he's so good he's in demand all the time. Just watch him climb the ladder to success. FLORENCE NENTWICK Flossie” Flossie is another of our quiet ones, but quiet though she may be, she has made her presence known and felt. Girls’ sports, the Lyre staff, and Red Cross and handling the moola for the Seniors kept her pretty busy. CATHERINE NYE Kit” Kit is one of those people you like to have around; a witty remark and a cheery grin are her trade- marks. Though she’s such a warm- hearted individual, she seems to find the need of Cole” to keep her temperature up. She was not only a cheerleader, but was treas- urer of the class, and played bas- ketball on the side. PATRICIA POWERS Pat” A Powers model is the best model—just ask the driver of a certain milk truck, and you’ll get your answer. And anybody can tell you that not only is Pat pretty, but she's got the figure that goes with it. We found her a good organizer and a hard worker. Tri-Y, dance 23 ■ V HELEN PRATT •’Helen” Watch out! Here comes that blue Plymouth with Helen at the wheel —Be careful—you won't make it across the street before she gets there—WHEW! That was close. But we're all in one piece, any- how, and that's all that counts. But not only does she drive a car, Helen is very active in the 4H and volleyball, too. We shouldn’t kid her like that; that isn't nice.” LEO REGAN Wimp Silence is a viitue, so they say ; my, what a virtuous soul is Wimp.” He was by far the quietest of our ranks, but even so, you knew he was there, but they say that those who are quiet usually learn more. And Leo has proved that there is truth in that statement. Classical Club and Interclass filled his spare time. JEAN REJKO 'Reggie” Jeanie’s one of those bouncy people; she can't sit still a min- ute, and is forever on the go. A busy gal was she — Art Club, cheerleading, basketball, volley- ball, art-editor of the Ly.e, chorus, and bowling. See what I mean when I said she was busy. llcainUK SEARS Ellie Twice class president, vice-nresi- dent of the Student Council, co- feature editor of the Lyre, and a bember of Journalism, Tri-Y, and chorus Ellie's scintillating person- ality and her downright ability are proof enough that she will go places. She's amazingly versatile; she not only sings, manages and writes well, but is a keyboard wiz- ard, too. OLIVE SHIPTON Ollie” Tbis is the reason, (one of why the Cozy Coiner is so j a place, Why, Ollie mal C. C. Without her, the wouldn't taste anywhere t good. As you can guess, ( the soda jerker-in-chief • class—you should see her soda or a sundae; they tast when she gets through, too. what counts. In school thou kept herself busy in Art Cl Journalism. BARBARA SIMON 'Barb” Mmmmm—did I hear a whistle? I wouldn't doubt it, seeing as how Barb’s in front of me. She's the cutie of the class, and there's no guessing about that. We're all agreed on that score. She was a cheerleader, and played volleyball and basketball on the side. 24 CAROL SLYE Carol” They say that twins are supposed to be quite different in actions, even though they may be identical in looks. The Slyes have proved that point—Carol is the quieter of the two. But there the difference ends. Carol is a hard worker, as her work for the Triangles, the Junior play and chorus proved. PHYLLIS SLYE Phyl Where's Phyl? In the library, of course. And don't let her tell you that it's Miss Steirley's charms that accounts for her far from sel- dom appearances. We know her real reason, but we won't tell on her. But, when she wasn't in the library, she was in the Junior and Senior plays, in Triangles, on the Lyre staff and in chorus. MILDRED SNELL Milly” Watch out — here comes Milly with the ball and swish! It's an- other basket! She's chalked up more points for the girls’ teams than we could keep track of. But we would like to keep track of her after we leave school, and watch her go places. Red Heads bas- ketball team, here’s your next can- didate. ALLYN SPONABLE Al Mr. Matthews found Al a most willing projection machine opera- tor. When looking for Al. look first in the auditorium balcony. If not there, aim for the gym, where he might be engaged in an Inter- class game, or look on the gridiron during practice. Yep, he's a will- ing worker, and a handy man to have around. HERBERT STINNARD Herb Herb came to us in the midst of our high school years, but he found himself a niche, and made himself at home, and went on his way, silently, but easily. He made loads of friends, and will go re- membered as a good joe. Sings, too; who do you hear when you enter the auditorium? You’ve guessed it. DeMolay kept him busy on Monday nights. DONALD TAPP AN Tap We’ve dubbed him the indis- pensable one, for Don held down more jobs during his four years with us than is thought possible. Photographer for the Lyre Staff, business manager for the School Daze, a campaign manager, and general hard worker for the suc- cess of the Junior play are just a few of them. But besides that, he speaks French, too. Versatile? And how! 25 Mo ‘ca .....................Geraldine McGraw ...........................Richard Lane ......................Yvonne Falardeau ..........................Alison Philips President.............

For many years Baldwinsville Academy has needed an active Athletic Association. We tackled this prob- lem immediately, and you may note the result on the follow mg page. We had change of assemblies and tried to introduce varied programs which would interest all the students. Remember the auction and the Tri-Y play. We inaugurated the plan of having a spread” for the players and cheerleaders after the Solvay basketball game. In order to raise a treasury we held several sue- vaccfiil rpmrcJ danrps after parries. ATHLETIC ASSOCIATION Our school has felt the need of an Athletic Associa- tion for some time. This organization has as its purpose the promotion of sports among the students of Bald- winsville Academy. The constitution, recopied from that of the organi- zation in power several years ago, was voted upon by all the homerooms last winter. The power of supervi- sion over all sports is vested in the principal and the executive council. The representatives were ekcte their homerooms, and their president. .. -j-he over by the president of the Studen tickets to council's responsibilities range from sc g awarding Block B's.

They again performed in the annual Christ- mas Concert put on by the Music Department. Its enthusiastic members are now deep in the intri- cate patterns of several new and a few well-known compositions, in preparation for the Spring Concert, including: an Overture, The Midnight Sun” by Paul Yoder; Pavanne” by Morton Gould; Because by d'Hardelat; two novelty numbers, Coming Round the Mountain” and Three Blind Mice” featuring a clarinet trio. A jazz number, At the Gremlin Ball by C. L. Hill and the marches, His Honor” and On the Square.” SUB-DEBS Sub-Debs kept the year busy, starting it off with the initiation of new members, con- tinuing the year with a hayride and slumber party, a Shmoo dance, an overnight party at the Rod Gun Club, an old and new members banquet, and an Easter dance. I'm sure the next year will be as enjoyable as this one has been.

Filling five Christmas baskets for needy people helped put enjoyment into this year. Bev Church and Nancy Carter attended the mid-winter conference in Cortland, January 28, 29 and 30. They brought back a lot of good ideas, besides having a good time. Making scrapbooks for the sanitorium, hayrides, dances, a Mother and Daughter Banquet, and activities at the Y.W.C.A. have helped make this a busy and happy year. We are now sporting Tri-Y emblems which1 we purchased a couple of months ago. 43 I The Art Club was started again last September after being out of operation for a year. Unlike other clubs, it has no officers. It is made up of Mrs. Vanderveer’s students of design and rep. who are interested in other art work beyond their regular classes. Wednesday and Thursday seventh period the members go to the art room and work on their projects. Some girls have worked on fashion design and other members have made etched aluminum trays. The largest project this year has, of course, been the mural on the art room wall. 44 CLASSICAL CLUB The Latin III Club's officers last term were Jarvis Wheaton, president; Marks Forssell, vice-president; George Brenan, secretary; and Frank Kowalski, treasurer. With the January regents, however, we lost a few members so the second term officers are James Collins, president; Agnes Merriam, vice-president; Nancy Storm, secretary; and George Brennan, treasurer. The Classical Club is the Latin Ill's method of obtaining background material. We have short talks or quizzes on the way of life in Cicero’s time. FRENCH CLUB Guess what ? The French Club actually made some money this year. I believe our bulging treasury now holds twenty some odd dollars. Now we are taxing our brains trying to t in of a way to spend this fabulous sum. Our officers for both terms are as follows.

The price, as everyone knows, is ten cents, but it is well worth it. The size of the paper is now eight and one-half by six inches and anywhere from twelve to sixteen pages of reading material are enjoyed monthly by faithful followers of the School Daze. We have also taken on a number of new members. .hose profiles can currently be seen in J Hall of Fame, more commonly known as room 03 and 105B, the homes of the sophomores.

The Baldwins- ville Board of Education named the field Memorial Field” and dedicated it in the memory of those in the Baldwinsville area who gave their lives in the service of their country in both world wars. For 25 years our teams played on a rather limited field at the rear of the school. Not so long ago the old field served its purpose but today with the larger en- rollment the Board saw need for a new field. They purchased one hundred fifty acres, formerly known as the Bolger farm, located convenient to the school. Here a spacious football field and a regulation baseball dia- mond on separate field, was constructed. Elaborate plans were made for Memorial s r'“ The dedication speakers were Mayor Dalton • Dr. Caswell Miles of National War Memorial Com mittee, and D. Charles O Brien.

GIRLS’ SOFTBALL Even though softball was played only during gym periods last year, we hope to compete with other schools this year. The weather will permit, we nope, a long season. Here's hoping the softball season will be a good one. 62 VARSITY CHEERLEADERS Girls, you’ve done a great job, boosting the morale of the football and basketball teams. Occasionally there was a trip'' up, but the smile that topped it was always many times greater. We hope that all cheerleaders shall continue to do as well as you have done. Good Luck! JUNIOR VARSITY CHEERLEADERS Certainly, we cannot overlook our J.V. cheerleaders. Many times when game seemed a little dull, these girls did their best to pep up not only of the team, but the spectators as well. Keep the goo w P we II see you again next year. I H STORV OF THE CLASS OF 1949 Days come and days go — and finally the day is here when we each must turn and go separately in our own way of life.

In the early fall we ordered our class rings and started the plans for the Christmas Ball. We held many successful dances and also sold popcorn and candy at games to raise money. In the spring we started the re- hearsals for the comedy, The Campbells Are Com- ing, which was directed by Miss Kinney and Mrs. Kinslow. We also had an eventful evening at the Jun- ior-Senior Banquet held at Roberto’s, and many of us attended the Athletic Banquet to receive those well- earned letters and emblems. Ann Bucci again came in first to receive the Latin III cup and Donald Tappan earned the Science cup. We enjoyed decorating the gymnasium for the graduation dances and again ended our year with the annual class picnic. Then — finally — our Senior year arrived. We were all seated in room 2 and the library with Miss Winchell as our advisor. We got an early start on our year book and then launched into magazine sales to help raise money. We sponsored many successful round and square dances throughout the year. During the early spring we put on the mystery, The Thirteenth Chair,” which was directed by Miss Winchell. This year Eleanor Sears was our capable president and helped us through our struggles. We all enjoyed a good time again this year at the Junior-Senior Banquet and Athletic Banquet which was aided by the newly organ- ized Athletic Association. We also helped end our year with the Senior Ball which everyone enjoyed. And now — as our high school days come to a close we wish to thank all those people who helped us have so much fun and success.

We agreed that nothing strenuous should be under- taken to begin with and thought a vacation might help us to decide on a good job. New York City was the first stop on our list. There was much activity when we arrived. The roads were jammed with cars full of people from out of town who were going to see Niles Minnoe defend his middle- weight crown at Madison Square Garden. We stored our car at a large garage and started out to see the sights. As we left the garage we saw Florence Nent- wick and Marcella Walker. After the usual comments on the size of the world, they told us they were living in the city and were going to see Eleanor Sears give a piano concert at Carnegie Hall. Feeling very hungry after the trip, we turned into a large drug store on the corner and were surprised to be served by John Delaney. John said he ran an adver- tising business on the side and offered us jobs, but we refused because ten cents an hour seemed a little low. As we prepared to leave, Mildred Snell came out with a tray of dishes. Milly said that quite a few of the class 49” had found jobs in the big city. Ruth Ellithorpe was working as a pharmacist in the drug store, and Ward Hammond owned a large grocery store next door. We left Honest John's and walked toward 5th Avenue to see if any more familiar faces could be found. We passed Ann Bucci’s exclusive fashion shop and saw Patricia Wrightson designing a dress for Pa- tricia Manseau who had to go on stage that evening for her newest hit What Became of Father. At the next corner we met the happiest man in the state. He was grinning from ear to ear, and I recognized him as Frank Kowalski. Frank explained that he had just bought the Brooklyn Bridge for $50 and was going to make a lot of money. Just then we saw a parade and walked over to see what it was for. Children of all ages walked by and at the end of the line was Ronny Barnum. Ron told us they were his ninety-nine kids, and he rented them for basketball teams, boxers and waitresses. Ron told us that Charles Lory and Ronald Loop had gone to Syracuse University for Forestry and were now doing very well. We thought that Ken Krafft was also doing very well. Ron said that Mayor had opened up a harem with a million Esther Williams. Feeling the need for some fresh air, we stopped a taxi and found that Margaret Melvin was our driver. Margaret explained that she had been traveling and between stops had taken a job with the taxi company which was owned by Bob Germain’s wife. Margaret asked us if we had seen the Blanchard shipyards and offered to take us there. Doug was out when we got there, but his secretary, Dorothy Loveless, told us to look around. We met Ruth Gruber, the company nurse, and she told us that Monica Mills and Helen Pratt had also gone into nursing while Louise Chappell, Ann King and Roberta Miller, having graduated from Cort- land State Teachers College, were doing very well as physical education teachers. We walked outside and saw Arthur Weigand and Alan Forssell in a huddle. Art, now a Naval Architect and Alan as a marine engineer were busy on a new ship. The ship had just been launched and workmen were busy on the finishing touches. Ken Deitz was busy with some fittings in the bilge while James Coleman, engineer in charge, talked to us. Jim said that Donald Tappan and Mary Marden had sailed for France the day before, Don to teach sciences in Paris and Muggins as foreign correspondent for the New York Times. Jim excused himself and went to help some men who were hauling in on a line. On the end of the line was a diver’s suit and inside was Dick Johnston. Dick had been clearing the underside of the ship of floating lumber and seemed to be doing a good job. We walked away from the side of the ship and into a room on the side of the building. There we found Ralph Gates turning out parts on a large lathe. He was head machinist and told us that we could find Leo Regan at the rear of the building. When we walked in all we could see was a pair of legs behind a work bench, but as we came closer, we could see it was Leo, now an expert chemical engineer. Behind the shipyard was a mound of dirt and every 68 CLASS PROPHECY-Continued ten minutes another shovelful was being added to it from the depths of a long ditch; we walked over and saw Charlie Moore on the business end of a shovel. Charlie told us that Herb Stinard, a construction en- gineer was in charge of enlarging the shipyard. The only classmate that Charlie could think of was Emmett DeVaul, who was enjoying himself as a man about town. We said goodbye to Charlie and decided to return home. As we waited for a taxi in front of the shipyard, two hobos came staggering toward us. Lawrence Keefer was holding up Pete McManus. Upon suggest- ing intoxication, Pete crossed his eyes and told us, of course, they were drunk. They were celebrating a cross-country tour which had been very educational. They had worked at Carolyn Auyer's summer resort and also at Beverly Church's winter resort in the Adi- rondacks. Larry told us that they had slept with Myron Howard's cows and also Allyn Sponable's, both of whom were successful dairy farmers. As our taxi arrived Pete reminded us that Jerry Tucker, world's champion 3 and 5 cushion billiard artist, was giving an exhibition that evening. We arrived at the garage where the car was stored and started to go inside. Just then a Cadillac bumped us to one side, stopped, and out jumped Arlene Moore. After examining the dents in the fender and telling us to be more careful, Arlene told us she was on her way to pick up her boss, Governor Dewey. Arlene said she liked being his secretary because they traveled so much. She had just returned from the West Coast where she had talked with Mildred Baker, secretary for Gregory Peck.Arlene also told us that Virginia Hartwell was doing all right as press agent for Vic Damone and Catherine Higgins as Vaughn Monroe’s booking agent. On the way back from the coast Arlene stopped n Iowa and talked to Mary Currie who was happily mar- ried to a farmer and living on a 640 acre farm. We also found out that Mr. Dewey often had posters de- signed by Jean Rejko and Art Helmbold, commercial artists. We said goodbye to Arlene and walked in to jet the car. The attendant this time was a girl, and we found it was Barbara Simon. Barb said she was mar- ried and helped her husband take care of the cars. She dso told us that Dorothea Brown was working at Electronics Park and that Betty Dunham had started an interior decorating store at the former site of Tuck- er's pool room. Barb went to get the car and in a few minutes re- turned and explained that it had fallen apart in stor- age ,but that she would be glad to buy it for parts. Very much surprised that it hadn't fallen apart long before then, we took the money and decided to fly home. We entered the main office at the airport and found Yvonne Duger in charge of all operations. Von took time out to talk to us and said that she had just come back from a trip to the home town and everything was quite peaceful. She said that Mary Lister was working as a medical secretary in a large hospital in Syracuse. We wondered what the Slye twins were doing and Von said that Carol had gone to business school and was now doing very well as the owner of a used car busi- ness, while Phyllis had taken liberal arts at St. Law- rence University. Just then a voice from the loudspeaker announced 3ur plane so we said goodbye to Von and walked out- side We headed toward our plane and saw Nancy Carter coming across the field. Nancy said she was on her way to get a job as a librarian. We took our seats on the plane and a stewardess closed the door behind us. As she came down the aisle we saw it was Norma Loveless. Norma told us that Olive Shipton was also working as a stewardess on the plane. A few minutes after the take-off Olive came back, and we found out that Doris Brand was happily mar ried and living in the country, while Kit NTe )vas aec‘ «tary at Don Cole's spring shop. Olive said that Mrs. Pat Powers (Stevens) was also doing very w housewife. An hour later our plane circled the home field and landed. We took a tJ to our hotel on the outskirts of town and went to our room.
