Text from Pages 1 - 88 of the 1951 volume:

PRINCIPAL’S ME55AGE To the Class of 1951: Never in our history has there been a time when we had greater need for men and women who are well trained, cool thinking and willing to work. We need men and women who are able to analyze what needs to be done and then go at the job rather than standing back saying ”1 can’t or I won’t. Though the times are difficult, you have had good training--the rest is up to you. Con- tacts or pull” may help you get a job or en- trance to school, but it won’t keep you there. Build on the foundation you now have to be- come the kind of person you wish to be. Very sincere congratulations and best wishes to all of you, you have made an ex- cellent contribution to the school and lam sure you will continue to give of yourselves as the years go by. God bless all of you, Supervising Principal DEDICATION To Miss Cooledge who for twenty-nine years worked tediously with students of Baldwinsville Academy and who was always willing to do more than her job required to help her students, we, the ’’Class of 1951,” wish to dedicate this our Lyre. ALMA MATER 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. So she stands upon the campus 'Mong the towering trees Gentle nature wafts her praises On the evening breeze. When the future years o' ertake us And we leave our halls We shall always love and cherish Days within thy walls. Loyal to thee Alma Mater Shall we always be And we'll always keep forever Sweet thy memory. BOARD OF EDUCATION Mr. Benedict, Mr. Le Boeuf, Mr. Travers, Mr. Abbott, Mr. Totten, Mr. Jones Mr. Vaughn, Mr. Lynch, Mr. McCarthy, Mr. Bond, Mr. Tupper. The Board of Education of our Baldwinsville Academy and Central School has spent many long evenings, in addition to the many regular duties, going over plans and budgets in order to build and equip the Junior and Senior High School, now under construction. It is doubtful if any Board of Education, anywhere has w o r ke d as hard to provide so much in the way of opportunities on a fixed amount of money and over such obstacles, in a time of ever increasing costs. We, the SeniorClass of 1951, wish to express our appreciation and the appreci- ation of the many hundreds of our district youth who will benefit because of their un- trying efforts.

There were no complaints, and so what more can we say? BUS DRIVERS L. to R., 1st row: H. Sterling Gates, Harly Loveless, Leonard Calkins, Paul Manseau, Millard Blakeslee. 2nd row: John Clarck, Walter Webb, Paul Virginia, Donald Gates, Frederick Fauler, Lewis Calkins, Leon Colling, Edward Jacobs-not in picture. Throughout the year our twelve stalwart bus drivers have carried us through ice, snow, sleet, rain and what have you. A very commendable job of getting us to school is one of the achievements of these men. Keeping the old busses running while waiting for the new ones to come was also quite a feat. Here’s hoping they do as well next year, only with new buses. ( ipB©•—• £ t SENIOR CLASSOFFICERS President: Shirley Coleman Vice President: Richard Perkins Secretary: Beverly Houck Treasurer: Ardis Auyer We entered the year of 1950 with smiling faces. This would be our final year at Baldwinsville Academy and Central School. But, our graduation in 1951 seem- ed faraway when we viewed the work before us. However, we got to work and established our class by electing Shirley Coleman as president and making Miss Winchell our class advisor. Our first endeavor was a Kick Off Dance with the Parisians providing the musical entertainment. This was fol- lowed by a magazine sale which required good sales- manship by all. We then undertook the job of selling candy in the halls and candy and pop at the basketball games. A snapshot dance was held by the Lyre Staff to acquire pictures for the Lyre. The next task we started was a Ham Supper. We worked hard though with plenty of class co-operation and the supper was a success. All the time this was going on the Lyre Staff was hard at work putting the Lyre together. Our lat- est job has been the sale of fire extinguishers and we I have been diligently working on the Senior Play. The days remaining before us will be, by no means, easy, but we feel confident that the conclusion, of our Senior year will be a success. Writers' cramp and Ardie are one and the same since a certain marine went to C alif- ornia. Ardis is also a fine cheerleader along with being president of Sub Debs. Quite a popu- lar gal, Huh? ARDIS AUYER Speaking o f pixies, w e have our own in Bruce. Feature editor of the Lyre Staff and Ronnie Naumann's campaign manager in student coun- cil elections have cer- tainly made him a busy fellow. We expect Bruce to b e c o m e manager of the Corner Pharmacy in a few years. Don't fail us, Bruce. BRUCE BAUST Barb's the gal with a smile for everyone. Her willingness to help out when help is needed-has made her a favorite with the kids and teachers alike. Barb remains ever faithful to Dick and you certainly can't blame her. Now where does that period go, before or after the quotation marks? This question was quite common in first period Business English and Secretarial Practice, but I think Marilyn finally got it straightened out or did she? Just the same Marilyn, you're going tc maKe some guy a line secretary. BARBARA BEEBE RODERICK BEEBE When the girls see this boy sauntering down the halls they run for cover. For Rod is the most talented pest in school. He enjoys teasing the poor innocent females but they really love it. Oh Rod, you Don Juan, you! That devilish grin could never have been given to abetter person. Mick surely gives the teachers atime of it, but I'm told they love it. Mick came back this year and certainly worked hard to get where he is. You're our favorite, Mick. MARILYN BORROW MICKEY BROOME FRED BURTCH Fred is one of the handy men you can thank for the fine cartoons appear- ing in your Lyre. He is also a star in Barnyard Basketball and Track. KENNETH BURTON Whether on the football field or on the baseball diamond, Ike can certain- ly prove his ability. He received all-county hon- ors this year and you can find him most any time whether working in the south side R e d fe White or strolling down West Genesee Street. Say, can this guy play tennis I He received the tennis cup last year and was the captain of our team. You can usually find Eddie after school peddling his papers over on the South Side. This guy really gets a- round, too. EDWIN CARTER Will the Class of ’51 please come to order? Yes, Shirl was chosen president of our class and she did one swell job. She is a Sub-Deb- ber and also abright spot on the cheerleading squad. This gal really gets around. SHIRLEY COLEMAN MARTHA DACK PATRICIA DACK Marty is one of our quieter gals. She is one of Miss Kinney’s pro- mising secretaries and a lot of fun. Good luck, Marty. This neat, pretty senior can be found in Mrs. Webb's homeroom. She is quiet and reserved, but Anne has a quick sense of humor and a captivating charm. She is well liked and respect- ed and will be missed greatly next year. The local movie gives added attraction to those attending when they pay their admission, for in the booth sits charming Pat, ready with a ticket and a smile to all who come her way. We’ll bet she drums up a lot of business for Paul V i r - ginia and it’s easy enough to see why. They say silence is gol- den, but you can't prove it by me, you’ll have to ask Don. A country boy, Don works hard in h i s studies, which few do. We’re glad to have you with us, Don. KATHERINE DELANEY DONALD DELMARTER ROSE DE LOFF Rose is one of our more reserved gals except when she is with her pal, Lauretta, then the fire- works start. She is one of our most likeable seniors and sure is lots of fun. MIRIAM DE LYNE What can we say about Mimi? 'twould take a book to tell all. If you’re ever blue though go to 41 Syracuse St., Mi mi will laugh you out of your bad mood in a jif f y . She’s a grand gal and a good cheerleader, too. THOMAS DORIS Now T. D. is about the biggest fellow in school and certainly gave our opponents something to worry about in football. Then, of course, there's a certain flame in h i s life named Sandy. Be- lieve you me, this guy certainly gets around. Rod is a short jolly kid, and a good friend of Rochester's own little Miss Hosenfeld. Rod is seen tearing around in his red truck all the time and is a farmer at heart. RODERICK DOW MILDRED DUNHAM JOHN ECKER All the good things you could say about anybody, rolled up in one pack- age; that's Millie. With enough oomph and wit for ten people, she keeps her classes in stitches. Ever seen flying eye- brows? If not, you haven't seen Mary. This gal can twist her face into the funniest express- ions and keep a class in stitches for the entire period. She's a swell girl to know and will be missed next year. Hold that line! Weil, Jack certainly must have because he was the Her- ald Journal's choice for all-county s t a r d om. I hear Jack gives Mr. Egan quite a time, and did you know Jack his thumb this year? How did you say you did that, Jack? Janet came to us in her Junior year, and it cer- tainly was a gain for the school, as she is a good and eager worker. Don't worry about a dull time when Jan's a round be- cause she will certainly liven things up. MARY FAULER JANET FORD JANE GLEASON Jane is our cutest gal and has a smile that would win over anyone in a second. She's been a bright spot on the cheer leading squad and is a veteran of four years. Her ready laugh and sparkling gaiety makes her tops on Basil's list. Lester hasn't got much to say, he just plugs a- long and doesn't bother anyone. Although we don’t hear much from him, we’re glad to have him in the class. LESTER GROME This gal has more nick- names than anyone could imagine, and they all seem to originate from the same person. She is the girl athlete of the class and school drum majorette. There isn’t anything that Shirl does- n’t shine in, is there Perk? SHIRLEY GROUP Betty certainly gives Miss Kinney quite a time in Secretarial Practice and vice-versa. Her witty remarks leave you in stitches when you’re in your bluest mood. It must be nice to have close neighbors huh, Betty? BETTY GUSTKE LORRAINE HANEY CLARA HAY This gal hails fromBel- gium and can usually be found running the switch- board in the office. She keeps herself busy do- ing what she can to help other people, and be- lieve me, that's what counts. That giggle of Jean’s would set anyone in stit- ches and those eyes well, no one can say anything against them. Jean is another one of Miss Kinney’s promising pro- tege's and she writes faithfully to a certain guy in the Air Force. Good Luck, Jean. JEAN HEARNE MARCIA HERRING T-E-A-M Yea Team. That’s Clara cheering for her Alma-Mater and believe me, I don’t know what they’ll do without her vim, vigor and vital- ity. Clara is our prett- iest senior and quite a active in 4-H work. In fact, last year aNew York expert chose her the best 4-H model in Onondage County. There's more but I'm running out of space. Narry a word from this quiet lassie. If you were blind you would never know Marcia was around; but they say that silence is golden. Marcia has lots of personality and is a grand gal. LAURETTA HESS If you're looking for a good time see Miss Hess. She is full of life and charm and hails from Phoenix. She has a ready sense of humor and is partial to the boys (or should I say boy) from Warners. BEVERLY HOLLENBECK No wonder the Seniors sell so much candy! Bev's looks and perso- nality do wonders for the candy business, and at- tract all who come her way. Bev’s our pretty little blondie and has oodles of charm and personality. Quite a bit wrapped up in one honey of a pack- age. She is full of fun and has a rare quality of leadership. Good luck to you B e v in anything you may do. BEVERLY HOUCK It's a bird - It’s a plane; no, it’s Bobby! That flash you just saw was Mr. Hourihan flying low! All in all Bob is a swell guy and can turn on that charm 24 hours a day. ROBERT HOURIHAN MARIE HULBERT RICHARD JOHNSON That laugh you just heard from the back of study hall was Marie’s. She’snot only full of fun, but she can sing and play the flute. Got a problem in Busi- ness Law? Then Laur- etta' s the gal to see. She’s a smart Miss and a tribute t o the Senior Class. I don't think she burns the midnight oil, she just does what comes nautrally. That smile of hers radiates to all and is a pleasant sight throughout the school halls. This intelligent lad has plenty of spark and per- sonality. Dick is one Senior we are sure will go far. You can thank your lucky stars that Joey is in our class because if it were not for her you might not be reading this book. She put the Lyre Staff through its paces and made us work. Joey’s a swell kid and deserves a lot of credit for a job well done. LAURETTA KEEFER JOANNA KIMBALL JEAN KING This girl comes from the Maple Road area. Mrs. Puffett can always be sure of a victory when Jean's on the team. She really is wonderful in sports. She’s modest and quiet, but has oodles of personality behind that sweet smile of hers. CHARLES KLASMIER Care for an argument? This boy loves to argue and can do a good job of it too. Always jolly, is Charlie, and every bit of him is full of fun. Nan is the prized, pint possession of the Senior Class. She’s a gay, ef- fervescent gal and has more energy than a per- son twice her size, and wow can that gal dance. NANCY KNOPE That sweet smile has won her many friends and Marion has b e e n a spirit at Tri-Y. Al- ways ready to volunteer for committees and glad to lend ahelping hand wherever needed. You’re one swell kid, Marion. MARION LANGWORTHY HERBERT LODDER SHIRLEY LOVELESS We expect Herby to take over the leadership of the Baldwinsville Boy Scouts some day. He is quite active at Woodland and has a personality that is sure to win him a lot of friends in what- ever he may do in future years Another of or.r quieter gals unless you get her laughing, and then you’ve got a problem on your hands. She is well known for her blush. If you haven’t seen Nan. One of our farm girls, she is an active 4-H member but one of our more quiet seniors. With his great sense of humor and witty re- marks, Bernie is one of the best liked members of the Class of ’51. He also is a ’’teacher's de- light” because he keeps up so well with his stud- ies. NANCY McARDELL BERNARD McGIVNEY MIRRIL McMULLEN DONALD M3NNOE Mirril is a quiet, studi- ous young man from Lys- ander. He is one of the few seniors who gets all of his work done. Al- though he is q u i e t, we know Mac” is here. When there is mischief in study hall you can al- ways depend on Don’s being there. That im- pish grin is enough to melt anybody’s heart, making him a very popu- lar lad. This clever chap ought to be in television. He writes very imaginative compositions and has a marvelous sense of humor. If he tries hard he’ll be a second Milton Berle. Can we call you . ’’Uncle Ronnie ? RONALD NAUMANN Who said beauty and brains don’t mix? Laura certainly contradicts this statement. She de- serves every good word said about her, and is a good worker, too. LAURA NEWCOMB DANIEL O'BRIEN ROBERT PACIENCIA Danny is the singer in the class. He is known for his fine tenor voice and for playing the organ very well. WithoutDan- ny the Senior Chorus would not have such a strong men’s section. Girls! Girls! Girls! would love to capture Bernie but this cute blonde is remaining faithful to a certain gal from Belle Isle. Bernie is one of our all-round athletes and believe me he sure has a lot of ability. Crash! Bang! Boom! There goes Bob Charging down the halls again. His good looks and vibrant personality keep poor Miss Hosenfeld on the verge of a nervous breakdown. Ellie is one of our very quiet seniors. (There are a few you know?) Her wonderful personal- ity and disposition make up for her quietness. BERNARD PAIGE ELEANOR PARKER CHARLES PATCHETT Well kids, you haven’t seen a real smile till you’ve seen this fellows engaging grin. You can see Charles now and then driving a nice new car to school. Chuck is someone to have a lot of fun with and he also has an entertaining wit. LE ROY PATCHETT LeRoy is one of the quieter Seniors. He is a lot of fun though. He is a hard worker and hails from the country. RICHARD PERKINS Be it football, basket- ball or baseball Perk is a star all the way. Last year’s best all-round athlete and captain of the Post-Standard all- county football team this year. Some record, huh? His numerous trips to Lysander and that blushing smile are due to a cute little blonde, I’m told. Pick sure leaves Mrs. Webb in a frenzy now and then but I don’t think she minds. Nice hav- ing you with us Pick. JAMES PICKARD MARIANNA PRESTON THERESA DEGAN If you ever happen to stop in the c a f e t e r i a, you are sure to find cheerful Marianna Pres- ton. She is very friend- ly and is one of our in- telligent students. Rah! Fight! Joyce is spurring her team to vicotry. This cute sen- ior is head cheerleader this year and has been on the squad since she was a freshman. Congratu- lations to her for the great job she has done as leader of the cheering squad. I’m sure Jack will agree with us that she’s a .great little gal. This little carrot top can be seen sitting in Mrs. Webb's homeroom each day. She’s a quiet little gal but has a plea- sant smile for all, plus a pleasing personality. Chuck is one of our several Lysanderites, and is well-known and liked by everybody. Suc- cessfully vice-pres. of the Student Council this year, Chuck has made quite a name for himself. JOYCE RIDALL CHARLES ROGERS JOHN SINNETT This witty lad can keep you chuckling for hours. He’s a hard worker and did a great job of lead- ing the Class of '51 dur- ing the two trying years when we were Sopho- mores and Juniors. As business manager for the Lyre he’s no slouch either. ARTHUR SOCHIA Art is another quiet senior and just works along by himself. He is a good kid and gets a- long fine with everyone. Alfa Jack’s team won the Barnyard title last year and he also starred on our bowling team. You can usually find Jack making daily trips out Maple Road way. JACK SOCHIA Pee Wee, as he is nick- namedisone of the liveliest seniors and is a lot of fun besides. He is very witty and is al- ways pulling some prank on us. We still love you, Pee Wee. ANTHONY SOJDAK GILBERT STEBBINS REGINA STEINBACH Gilbert can always be identified by his broad friendly grin. He has quite a sense of humor and is really a grand guy. Dick is a shining spot on the basketball team and certainly makes ahit with the gals, one in particular with that blonde hair. Who would- n’t? As thick as pea-soup - that’s Regina and Fran. A Sub-Deb member and what not, Regina is a lot of f u n and not bad looking either. Good luck in whatever you do, Regina. He canact-he can write- he's a track star and how the women go for him. What a guy! Harry is one of the Senior class’s indispensables and a swell kid. RICHARD STEVENSON HAROLD TETRAULT FRANCES THOM The patients oftheBald- winsville Sanitarium are certainly lucky to have this blonde ray of sun- shine nursing them back to health. Fran's per- sonality and good looks attract all who come her way and she will certainly be a loss to our school. CAROL VAN WIE This bespectacled young lady is one of the bus- iest known. She asks questions and investi- gates every nook and cranny to dig up scandal and information for the school Daze. Ever hear her giggle? If not, you haven't lived yet my friend. Jane has more ambition than anyone we know . She's here when she's there and everywhere else at the same time. Nice trick if you can do it and if we know Jane, she can. All in all Jane is a swell kid. CAROLYN VAREY Rollo hails from Plain- ville and hasn't much to say. He’s just another senior who does what he is supposed to do and works quietly. ROLAND VICTORY ELIZABETH VARNER BARBARA WELLER This charming curly haired girl gives the ap- pearance of a reserved young lady but when Betty gets going, oh brother! Her bubbling laughter is very catch- ing. After the Sub Deb fashion show she has our vote as the girl most likely tobeafetching model. Did you notice the car- toon feature pages in the Lyre? Well, they are the work of George. All in all he sure is a handy fellow to have a- round. Barbie has one of our most likeable person- alities, and always has a good word to say about everybody. Besides be- ing a good worker she is oodles of fun. Now to tell about Wayne would give me writers cramps so I'll say there isn’t much the fellow isn't a part of. He's a hard worker and did a swell job in the Junior Play last year. GEORGE WILBUR WAYNE WILCOX JAMES WOOD DONALD WRIGHTSON This good- looking Sen- ior a loyal member of Harper Wood, Inc . Besides being a dead- eye on the basketball court, Jim is a lot of fun. He keeps us in stitches most of the time. Even though Don's girl is miles away he re- mains ever faithful and when she's home you can be s u r e he spends every possible minute with her. We don’t blame you one bit Don, she's a swell kid.

CLASS PROPHECY (I) Now that we are leaving school, and going out into the world, we will lose con- tact with many of our friends. It would be interesting to see what some of us are doing twenty years from now. The year is 1970. The place: A much changed Baidwinsville. Time of day: Late afternoon. We get off the bus, after our long trip, and stroll across the street into Woods’ drugstore which now covers six square blocks since Gus took over. As we enter, we hear a ripping sound as his pockets tear from the weight of his gold. Gus snaps his fingers, and Bruce Baust, soda-jerk extraordinary, hastens to retrieve his fallen gold. After slugging a couple of sodas, we rise to leave, but are bowled over by a block thrown by the world's greatest lineman, Jack Ecker, who is running interference for Dick Perkins and Ike” Burton. After picking our- selves up from the ground, we begin to talk. Eventually our talk turns to politics, and we learn to our amazement that the race for the presidency is a close one be- tween Roland Victory and Don Delmarter. I pull my timetable from my pocket and check on the next boat to Russia. We bid our friends adieu, and start across the street. When half way across, we are accosted by a huge red Ford truck bearing down on us. We leap to safety, but are showered by coaldust. Indignantly we stalk into the office of the fastset talking team of female lawyers in the world, Jane Varey and Mary Fauler. We ask for legal advice, and are directed to the office of Sheriff Barbara Beebe, who is the only sheriff in the world who enters beauty contests. Sheriff Beebe tells us that the truck was one owned by the largest trucking company in the world, Anthony (Pee Wee) Sojdak's. Upon hearing this, we drop the charges and leave. As we stroll around town, we hear the sound of a typewriter feverishly work- ing. This is the office of our local newspaper, the Daily Dirt, which is owned and edited by Harry (Scoop) Tetrault. We look through the window, and see sports writer, Fred Burtch, photographing the world’s most perfectly formed man, Gilly Stebbins. We go in to ask about more of our school mates. Harry tells us that Joyce Ridall and Mildred Dunham are running a school, teaching the fundamentals of cheerleading, and are making a mint of the long green. We decided to look them up for obvious reasons. By this time our stomachs read empty and we look around for a restaurant. We see a huge neon sign which reads The Gustke and Coleman House of Hash.” We remember the old saying, Any port in a storm and enter. Betty and Shirley are standing behind the counter, giving orders to their waitresses, Barb Weller and Marie Hulbert. We order steak and a milkshake. When Barbara brings it to us, U!,fhat e steak came {rom one of Chuck Patchett’s 600, 000 longhorns, na that me milk in the shakes comes from one of Leroy Patchett’s 600, 000 milk PaTna.Iherfuhad S°me Ulk or mer inS two farms. Just then, Martha and the ioraiJ0lk ln’ c,0Ver!d fr0m head t0 toe in ermine. They tell us that they own Par rnrff ° C“dy counters world. It seems that they had had Bob they had a sillv i!fea°th bUt B°b Suddenly gained 70 pounds in two weeks, and iney had a silly !dea that he was nibbling on the job. (n) Suddenly a great roaring sound is heard and the two champion stock car driv- ers in the world, Rod (Mad Throttle) Dow and Art (Gunner) Sochia are seen racing down the street. As they reach the peak of their speed, a pedestrian steps in front of them. A sickening crash is heard, and when the smoke clears we can see two badly bruised cars in front of us with pro football player, T. D. Doris standing over them, not even his hair mussed. Standing next to him is that giant among men in the football world, Don Wrightson, who along with T. D. has just finished his 20th season of pro football with Ira Hill Wonders. While we are feeling their muscles and chatting, we see a soap box leading a man up the street. This is Mayor (Windy) Wilcox. Mayor Wilcox begins to speak. Two hours later head street cleaners, Don Minnoe and Bob Hourihan, carry him away, still babbling happily. We hurry after them to see what they will do with him to keep him from talking himself to death. Apparently this same problem has presented itself before, because they carry him directly to Danny O’Brien’s house, where O. B. puts him to sleep by playing a few choice selection on his organ while nurse Frances Thom strokes his forehead. No normal person could sleep through this. We leave our mayor in the arms of Morpheus and Frances and head back downtown. When about half way there we are offered a lift by someone in a 1970 Chevy. This person turns out to be Carol Van Wie out for a joy ride in one of her 15 new Chevy's. She lets us out down town, and we enter the Cozy Corner, which is under the management of Jeanne Hearne and Lorraine Haney. The place is much larger, and we see Rose Deloff and Nancy McArdell jitterbugging to a juke box, at one end of the counter. We slug our cokes and go back outside, where we immediately hear the sound of barking and howling. Betty Warner is coming down the street, surrounded by an army of her dogs which she trains. There is still some doubt in my mind as to whether the boys or the dogs were doing the howling. We fall in step with her and learn that she is heading for the bank to make a withdrawal. We decide to walk with her. At the bank, the door is opened by head door woman, Clara Hay. I come in and go out 50 times. At the window, we are waited on by the president of the bank, Ardis Auyer, and Vice President, Beverly Houck. Suddenly a shot rings out and a woman screams. A dirty looking bank robber moves in and loots the place. Our alert police force, headed by Lester Grome, takes off in pursuit. Policewomen Jane Gleason and Marilyn Borrow radio ahead for help. The robber is caught before he can leave town, and when he is unmasked he proves to be George Wilber, who due to worry over the financial status of his Syracuse Nationals, was forced to make a quick withdrawal of some of his funds. The shot was the backfire from one of Rod Beebe's hot rods out on the street, which we learn, do a show called Beebe's Rambling Wrecks.” After all this excitement, we feel the need for a little relaxation, so we head for Bud Pickard's EMPORIUM OF POOL. Through the blue mist caused by the flying pool chalk we see a man bent doggedly over a pin-ball machine. As we come closer we see that this is Dewey Bond. Twenty years ago we left Dewey sitting at this same pin-ball machine. He said at the time that he wouldn't leave until he'd won a game. Apparently, Dewey is a man of his word. Back in the corner, in the section reserved for women, we see Mimi DeLyne blasting a game all by herself. She is, as you know, the champion female pool player in the world, with a close second, Marion Langworthy. We watch her stroke in a few, and turn to leave when a deafening shriek fills the air. Pick pulls us out from underneath the table and explains that the shriek was merely the (in) girl quartet, Lauretta Keefer, Shirley Loveless, Janet Ford and Lauretta Hess, warbling an (ugh) lovely tune, while Eddie Carter, the world's greatest buffoon, goes into his act of balancing Herby Lodder on the end of his nose. We are taken to our seats by usherettes, Marcia Herring and Nancy Knope, who, by the way, work as yes men on the side. When comfortably seated we hear a loud, unsavofy, crunchy sound behind us. We turn slowly and see the grinning face of Chuck Rogers, the official pop-corn tester for the theatre. If he can't disturb someone with the pop-corn, the corn is a failure, and he loses his job. He is good at disturbing people though, as his record shows that he has held the job for ten years. We squirm, twist and wiggle through the performance and are at last back in the fresh air, standing in front of Jack Socia's 104 lane bowling alley. We enter and see a championship match taking place between Theresa Reagan and Pat Palmer. Pat wins by a few pins and celebrates by ordering drinks for the house. The drinks are served by Marianna Preston and Eleanor Parker, the two highest paid waitress- es in the world. We tip them a week’s pay, choke on our drinks and leave. Once again we find ourselves back on the street looking for entertainment. We hear a newsboy, who turns out to be Mack McGivney, who also edits the paper, but can’t afford to pay help, shouting, Extra, extra, Paige and Sinnett do it again.” The names sound familiar, so we buy a paper and see on the front page that John (Pancho) Sinnett and Bernie (Gonzales) Paige have captured the world's Champion- ship in tennis for the twelfth straight year. We sell our paper back to Mack for half price, of course, and wend our way towards a crowd of people who are crowding and pushing at the entrance to a huge coliseum. We shove our way in and see that the attraction is two lady wrestlers: Shifty Shirley Group and King Kong Jean King. As a side attraction their managers, Joanna Kimball and Laura Newcomb, battle it out underneath the ring. The bout starts; bones crack, hair is torn and screams fill the air. The bout is at last over, and the girls go to their corners, apparently none the worse for wear. Out in the center of the ring, however, the referee, Dick Stevenson lies badly beaten. The bout is termed a draw and everybody goes home happy except Dick, who doesn't move. We decide to do him a good turn, so we drag him to his hotel where the manager, Ann Delaney rings for bellhop Mirril Mc- Mullen to take us to his room. We enter the elevator, which is run by Regina Steinbach, and ride to the fiftieth floor, where we deposit Dick on the bed and turn to leave. We are stopped by a tapping on the window. We turn and see the head window washer pointing excitely to Ron Naumann nd Dick Johnson, champion flag pole sitters. They had just broken their own record of 2 years 6 months and 2 minutes They are each given a resounding kiss by the first lady of the state, Beverly Hallenbeck. J y We wearily drag ourselves out of B'ville, content that all the class of 1951 had done well and that there was hardly an barring a few exceptions.

Authors: Regina Steinbach Frances Thom Carol Van Wie CLASS HISTORY We have stepped into, and will soon step out of that superior rank entitled Seniors. But before we leave, let us turn back the leaves of yesteryears and review some of our highlights. 1948 - As Freshmen we found ourselves occupying 104, 106A and 206B with Miss Hosenfeld, Mrs. Van Derveer and Miss Reynolds as our home room teachers. We elect- ed Royston Frost as our able leader and Miss Hosenfeld took the stand as our advisor. The Junior High Prize Speaking Contest was held in May for which Jane Varey and John Sinnett received first prizes while Frances Thom and Bruce Baust came in on seconds. Ronald Naumann received the Kiwanis Scholarship Prize and Richard Johnson's name appeared on the Latin I cup. 1949 - We returned as full-fledged Sophomores and elected John Sinnett as our class president and Mrs. Goodfellow as our advisor. We found our class members actively participating in sports, cheerleading, clubs, band and other activities. During baseball season we were busy selling candy, ice cream and soft drinks at the home games. At graduation Betty Warner received the Latin n cup, and we ended our year with a picnic at Fair Haven. 1950 - Now Juniors, we actually felt grown-up. After re-electing John Sinnett and Mrs. Goodfellow as our president and advisor, respectively, we immediately began plans for the Christmas Ball and tackled the problem of class rings. It was unanimously agreed upon that we adopt a standard class ring which will always be the emblem for Baldwins- ville High School. After our successful Christmas Ball and a few record dances following the basketball games, we began plans for our Junior entertainment which was held in the spring. We chose two one-act plays, His First Date and Junior's Mustache. Shirley Coleman and Nancy Knope entertained us with a tap-dance number between plays. Also in the spring we held a very enjoyable Junior-Senior Banquet at LeMoyne Manor with Mr. Benedict as our guest speaker. This year, Ronald Naumann carried off the Latin in cup, Wayne Wilcox obtained the Science cup and Betty Warner received the French II cup. We held a reception for the graduating Seniors and their parents after Commencement and again wound up our year with a picnic at Fair Haven. 1951 - Seniors at last! It doesn't seem possible. Shirley Coleman was elected president and Miss Wincheil was to act as our advisor. We held a Kick-Off Dance early in the fall and then began on our magazine sales. The Lyre Staff got off to a raring start, and before we knew it we were all being assigned to special jobs. We have yet to look forward to the Junior-Senior Banquet, the Athletic Banquet, Senior Play, Senior Bail and last, but not least, our graduation. It seems quite a ways in the distance at the moment, but it will probably arrive much too soon.

In their Freshman and Sophomore years they did very well, and hope to do as well this year. Along the line of fund-raising projects, each classroom held a bake sale once a seme- ster, which substituted for dues. Under the able supervision of Mrs. Good- fellow, the Junior Play, Pickles Becomes a Lady, and a Christmas Ball were sponsored by our class. We greatly appreciated her help when problems confronted us. Officers: President Vice President Secretary Treasurer Lee Rothchild Yvonne Falardeau Joan Borrow John Lukins CLASS OF 1952 When Freshmen become Sophomores there is a change in them, for they begin to realize that they must prepare for the future and that what they do now might very well govern their later lives. This year the class took a fast step to get going on money raising projects. Class officers were elected and a date for a Sophomore Day was reserved. This day which was instituted by the Class of '52, begins with a play in the after- noon and a dance at night. A Talent Show is also being planned. The advisors of the class were our home- room teachers: Mrs. Beyerl, Mrs. Pender, Miss Linsky and Mr. Hosmer.

In preceding years the councils have attempted to draw up a constitution, but it has never been accomplished. Following lots of hard work, we have set up one that we hope will last for years to come. Other accomplishments of the council include several interesting assembly programs sponsored by the group, and the pick-up lunches held for the visiting players, home players and cheerleaders, after all of the home games.

We started the year by playing at the football games. We played for assem- blies and parades. Some of us were lucky enough to represent Baldwinsville in the All-State Sectional band at Oswego. More of us, however, were chosen to belong to the All-County band. Besides all these activities, the band took part in the Spring and Christmas concerts. DANCE BAND Soft and sweet, or hot jazz, you name it, the Dance Band can play it. Ably led by Mark Forssell, who plays a mean trombone, the Dance Band furnishes music for your dancing pleasure every Friday noon. This year’s ten members are all new with the ex- ception of three: Mark, Terry Russ on the trumpet, and Tommy DeNeve on the saxophone. The new members are Willie Mignault and John Loomis, each playing the saxophone and clarinet, Lyle Davis and Bob Vanden Burg, hot trumpeters; Bert Waldron, drummer; John Lukins, pianist and Maurie Tigner, who puffs away at the bass horn. The Dance Band, which organized five years ago, is our Alma Mater’s contribution to popular music.

We also challenged Alpha Mu to a basketball game, which proved to be quite a show. KEY CLUB Officers: President-Ron Naumann Vice President - John Sinnett Treasurer-Tom Doris Rec. Secretary-Lee Rotl Cor. Secretary-Bill Harper Advisor: Mr. Benedict The Key Club of Baldwinsville is a member of the New York District of Key Club International. This offspring of Kiwanis is a service club made up of high school boys from all over the United States and Canada. Its chief aim is to be of service to its school and to its community. The Baldwinsville club, which celebrated its first full year of activity in January 1950, has been of service to its parent Kiwanis club in many ways, and hopes to father a new club of its own somewhere in the county early this spring. Here in school, the club has sponsored a number of Vocational Guidance assemblies for the students, and hopes to begin a definite program soon. Assistance has also been given in the preparation of the Mardi Gras festivities, and in several other school and community projects. GAMMA ALPHA MU Vice President Rec. Secretary Cor.

Officers: President-Don Falardeau Vice President-Earl Howard Secretary-Kaye Wormuth Treasurer-Sue Coates Advisor: Miss Palmer The STE HA HA club of 1950 has been nicely organized by 46 eager members of the seventh grade. The class carefully selected officers. Our secretary keeps track of all the minutes of the meetings. When she calls the roll we answer by naming historical places, explorers, rivers, towns, cities, and so on. Some of you might wonder what STE HA HA means. Well, it is an old Indian name meaning stones of the water. The stones made the water in the river swift at Baldwins- ville, thus generating power, which ran the mill wheels of the settlement and today furnishes electricity. Every two months we receive a very interesting magazine entitled The Yorker. Our exhibit committee consists of Prudence Brown, Anne Weeks, Richard Peck, and Donald Clark. As you know, the STE HA HA is a historical club, so the committee decided to put out historical objects on the table; for example: an old fashioned bee catcher, some old hand-made shoes, bullet makers, snuff boxes and many other similar things.
