Board of Education It is no wonder that the Board of Education should be so interested in the welfare of our school when you stop to consider that over half of the members graduated from Baldwinsville Academy. Included in this group of alumni are Church, Abbott, Jones, Lynch and McCarthy. All of the members have children who have either graduated from this school, or are now attending, or will attend this school in the future. This is another reason why their interest in the betterment of our school is so deep. With the cornerstone laid in our new school, it won’t be long be- fore the results of the many long hours of planning which the Board has done will be realized, and the people in the Baldwinsville central- ized school district sincerely appreciate the Board’s efforts. 6

Principal’s Message TO THE CLASS OF 1952 We started in Baldwinsville Academy together. All of us have had a very busy and interesting four years. We have seen the name changed to Baldwinsville Academy and Central School and we have watched the faculty and pupils nearly double. You may be the last class to graduate from the present Academy Building. The growth of the new building on Memorial Field is symbolic of the change of our times. Four years ago, in one of our first assemblies, I suggested that you look ahead, what has been you can't change, but you can determine in a large measure, what is to be. Determine what kind of person you wish to be and what kind of life you want and then go after what you want. Knowing you has given me a great faith in the future. God Bless all of you. Very sincerely, Paul II. Benedict Supervising Principal 5
