Page Slx Kendall Play 143 : Kendall Kendall 3 Orchestra THE TROUBADOUR 1935 CLASS HISTORY History, we have learned, is the story of a man and his accomplishments. So, then, our history is the story of gay, young high school students and their accomplishments. A Our history began September nineteen hundred and thirty-one, when'we gayly entered high school prepared to do great things under the leadership of Luther Armstrong, our president. The grown up and sophisticated seniors attempted to crush our spirits by saying that we were the worst class ever to enter high school. However, we were industrious and Helen Shaw won the scholarship award for that year, the first achievement in the history of our class. During the second year we were less industrious and unusually silly and mischievous, when we discovered that we could annoy the teachers. However, Helen Shaw again managed to win the scholarship award. The first meeting of the sophomore class resulted in the re-election of Luther Armstrong as president and in the election of Miss Webster as our class adviser. When we came back to school the next September, as juniors, the faculty despaired of ever making ladies and gentlemen of us, for we had never taken pains to grow up. As soon as possible, we held our first class meeting at which time we elected Challiss Preston to be our president and leader. Miss Coe was selected to advise us and to direct all our activities. Many of the juniors competed in an essay contest, sponsored by the I. O. G. T. and by the P. T. A. Nellie Wing and Lorraine Behnke, both juniors, won second and third prize respectively. As you would expect, our minds naturally turned towards amusement, and the result was that we had several enjoyable theatre parties. In May we held a card party and dance at which we all had an enjoyable time. We entered school last fall, expecting to feel matured and sophisticated, at least we were informed to that effect, but instead, we felt very much the same as we had the previous years. We were privileged, as all seniors have been privileged, to occupy the back seats in the study hall. After a day of school, the teachers concluded that we were worse than we had ever been be- fore. However, We realized that we had to work hard if our history was to end successfully with graduation. Surely Luella and Helen have worked very hard for they are our honored classmen. Miss Brooks, our adviser and Nellie Wing, our president, have guided us safely through the year, managing all work with the assistance of Junior Oehlbeck, vice-president, Helen Shaw, sec- retary and Marion Vick, treasurer. September 29, Mr. Osborn and Miss Brooks took us to see Alfred University win a football game. We had a gloroius time and we are sincerely grateful to those who made this possible. After that, we started practicing for our senior play, Betty's Millionaire which we presented November 23 and 24. After the last performance, we enjoyed hamburgers and sweet cider at Prof's home. The juniors united with the seniors and had a wet coasting party in February, but somehow we evaded any serious colds. This spring we were entertained at an April Fools party, where we were forced to enjoy such things as sawdust sandwiches and liniment fiavored cocoa. May 24, we held a card party and dance which was a surprisingly great success. After that event, we set to work preparingl material for the Troubadour which was published June 14th. All together we have had a very busy and prosperous year. A - ' -Marion Vick Page Seven 1935 THE TROUBADOUR CLASS PROPHECY One fine spring morning in May, 1955, I was awakened by the tantalizing sound of my telephone. I raised the phone to my ear, only to be informed that my boss wanted to see me immediately. Well, after all business is busi- ness and though this wasn't my usual working hour I dressed, snatched a bite to eat and very obediently propelled myself through the streets of New York until I reached the New York Times building. As I entered I observed a rather disorderly gentleman coming toward me. The boss seemed rather ex- cited over something. He hastened to tell me that I was to go to the pier to obtain all the information I could from a certain Miss Dionne Faye, famous broadway star, now returning from a world tour. If any of you have ever witnessed the arrival of any prominent star you may have a faint idea of the torture I endured trying to find Miss Faye. Nevertheless, I succeeded in my attempt and immediately began my chase for an interview. As I knew the name of the hotel at which she was to stay, I hurried there only to find the street so crowded I could hardly reach the entrance. I entered the lobby, picked up a couple of suitcases and asked the clerk which room Miss Faye had. I also ex- plained that I was her personal maid and had to take this luggage to her room. After Miss Faye had been safely escorted to her room and was left alone, I came from behind the door and extended her a hearty welcome. She turned suddenly and the expression on her face was one which I hated to waste for simply my own benefit. When the expression faded I noticed a pronounced resemblance to someone I had seen before. We stared at each other for what seemed hours when I became aware that the famed Miss Dionne Faye was my senior class mate at Kendall High, Nellie Wing. Well, I certainly gave the paper plenty of news about her. That evening I decided to celebrate my previous good fortune so I called the Bellevue Hospital where I expected my ol' pal Lorraine Behnke was aiding some handsome surgeon with a very serious operation. Fortunately she was not busy and had the evening free so we decided to go out in a big way and dine at the Ritz. When we arrived the head waiter, a well dressed, rather shrunken little man, came to usher us to our table. As he came nearer, Lor- raine awakened me to the fact that this was none other than Frederick Jensen, the happiest senior in our class of 1935. To our surprise Fritz recognized us and we received the best table in the place. As soon as we had finished, we informed Fritz as to the excellence of the food. He told us that we should compliment another of our worthy seniors for that, Luella Wilson. Of course, we then had to go and chat with Luella and at the same time watch her super- vise a number of cooks in an enormous kitchen. Following this renewal of old acquaintances, we decided to go to the opera, in which our faithful friend, Vera Priestly, had the leading role and opposite her was the Lawrence Tibbet of 1955, Luther Armstrong. The next morning, my orders were to visit the art galleries to secure notes on the latest sensations along the line of artists. I decided that I would need a good secretary to assist me so I immediately sent for one. When I opened my door a few moments later, who should enter but Luella Schmidt, looking as fresh as she had in her high school days and ready for a good days Work. We left my apartment and hailed a taxi. As I stepped in and was about to tell the driver where to take us, I recognized Junior Oehlbeck behind the wheel, looking very content that he could now drive a car and feel safe to look every Page Eight THE. TROUBADOUR 1935 cop in the face. Junior proved to be a very diligent driver and we arrived quickly and safely at the galleries. The first picture we were told, was a modern painting of a New England landscape by Miss Helen Shaw. We re- membered that Helen had always been the victim of all the work to be done in art when we were in high school and we were proud to tell the guide that the artist had been our senior classmate. After Luella and I had obtained all the necessary material and I had de- livered it to my newspaper, we decided to take in a movie. When we were comfortably seated we read these words on the screen, Miss Marion Vick, 1955's champion fencer, returns from Europe. There was Marion leaving the boat, surrounded by admirers and wearing the same smile that she had when she sat in our graduating class of 1935. That evening I felt very content that I had been well informed as to the whereabouts of each member of the last senior class of Kendall High School. -Challiss Preston BETTY'S MILLIONAIRE The seniors gave their play, Betty's Millionaire, at the high school gym November 23 and 24, under the direction of Miss Lucile Brooks.

To bring this out many point to the utter ruthlessness with which some kill their own young when something irks them. My experience with a cat has led me to believe differently. The problem which led to my experience was a surplus of cats at our home. As cats sometimes will, ours all had kittens. My task was to find a suitable means of disposing of them. So one evening just before dusk I took my shot- gun and went to the barn to get the kittens. Much to my relief, Skippy was absent. I placed the kittens in my arms, altogether there were three of them, and started down toward the orchard where I intended to shoot them. Their pitiful meows almost moved me to take them back, however, I resolved to finish the task. When I reached the orchard, I set the kittens down in order that I might dispatch them with one shot. Their own bewilderment kept them from mov- ing out of that position. I slowly backed away until I was about fifty paces away from them. In the dim silent dusk, the dull metallic click of the shell, as I pumped it into the gun chamber, seemed an eerie mockery of any senti- ment I might have had regarding the kittens. The crash of the shot had scarcely died away before my eyes fell on a pitiful sight. There stood Skippy just a few feet away from where her kittens were giving last convulsive twinges before their death. She made no out-cry but merely gazed at her little ones. If the kittens had been human, I do not believe I could have felt more like a murderer. Skippy slowly turned and walked away. It has been three weeks now and she has not returned yet. -Harold Jensen, English IV Page Twelve THE TROUBADOUR 1935 MYMOTHER Mother, where is my clean shirt? There are but few of us who haven't asked questions similar to this, hun- dreds of times. Whether I am in a hurry or not I hardly ever stop to look for things if they are not in plain sight but let out a yell and ask Mother where this or that is. Mother usually seems to know, if she doesn't she will answer in a pleasant voice, It's right where you left it. Mother is chief cook and bottle washer. She sees to it that we have three good square meals a day, nice soft clean bed in which to sleep, clean, well mended, neatly pressed clothes for sudden changes and always keeps a good warm fire in winter for us men folks to enjoy after a cold day trim- ming apple trees. Mother's work is never done. She arises each morning to prepare our breakfast shortly after we go to the barn. From that time on she is on the go until she goes to bed. There is dinner and supper to get ready, dishes to wash, baking to do, clothes to wash, ironing to do, floors to sweep and mop, furniture to polish, mending to do, beds to make, and she goes to bed, not re- laxed but thinking what she will do the next day. Besides being cook, scrub lady, laundress, tailor and chamber maid, she is doctor, nurse, personal adviser, and best friend. She takes care of us when we are sick and if we think we are in a little trouble, we run to mother to com- fort and advise us. If we go out for a little while in the evening and stay a little later than we expected, Mother most always leaves a faint light burning and she doesn't sleep well until she knows we are safely in bed. When Mother is sick, believe me, we all try to carry out her work in the house. My younger brother does the baking and part of the other cooking fDad does the restj while I sweep and dust the floors and polish the furniture. We all chip in when there are dishes to wash. An ordinary mother and housewife has the hardest job of any person in the world. She arises early. Her work starts long before seven in the sum- mer and lasts until she goes to bed. Besides all her housework she has her flower garden to look after. She takes great pride in it despite the fact that it is hard work. How can we make things easier for Mother? Let's all try to do something each and every day that will lighten her burden of everyday drudgery. It makes no diiference how small this something is as long as it saves steps for Mother and as long as she appreciates it. -Luther Armstrong, English IV 1. v., E E1 . .Q Jn f f i ggi X, J 1 Aff 'fl-life L Page Thirteen 1935 THE TROUBADOUR REFLECTIONS She looked in the mirror and wrinkled her nose, Then she struck a Garboish pose, She brushed a hand lightly over her hair And looked at her image with a superior air. Then she would smile and laugh like an elf, As though greatly enjoying a joke with herself. The mirror gave back such pleasant reflections That she pushed her face nearer for closer inspection. How did they do it in that movie last night? Oh yes, close your left eye and open your right, Then dip your head down to your shoulder and smile That was the way to flirt and beuile. But, seriously now, little Shirley aged seven, Wondered if she could do this as well at eleven. -Nellie Wing, English IV BUNNY'S TRICKS Once there was a rabbit With a funny little habit Of standing on his head to speak a piece, 'Till his mother said, Now, Bunny, Such a conduct isn't funny And really these performances must cease ! -Russell Ashman, English I PREACHER JACK Oh! I am a preacher In a long brownish cloak, I stand in my pulpit To preach to you folk! My full name is Jack: I am often mistook For a stubby old Weed That lives near the brook. Under my canopy I stand all the day, And watch for a chance To advise the right way. My duty's accomplished When all my domain Prepares for Jack Frost, And I turn to flame! -Martha Bekasinski, English I Page Fourteen THE TROUBADOUR CONDEMNED! Eleven hours, 'tis stated They sat in counsel While millions waited To hear their decision. In their twelve hands There had been placed The decision to one man's fate. They knew no more of him Than that which others, While swearing to tell the truth, Had told. The doors were slowly opened And one by one The jury took their seats Which they had held Since first the trial began. The spokesman slowly rose And, evading the young man's eyes He said, We find the victim guilty. Therefore, he must die. -Challiss Preston, English IV Z1.. . WI-IAT'S THIS? 4 shiny mud guards, 4 wheel brakes, 4 shock snubbers, When she shakes, 4 new pistons, 4 plugs too, 4 wide doors To enter through, 4 bright headlights, How they shine, 4 more payments-then she's mine. 1935 -Richard Gray, English III LIFE, A MERE DRAMA Life, Happiness, Hardships, A drama on a crowded stage, The players but walking shadows. The curtain never lowered, The scenery seldom changed, The play never ended. Ceasing never? No one knows. -Luther Armstrong, English IV Page Fifteen THE TROUBADOUR 1935 AGXEIYI T M5 Fra. ff!

GENERAL BIOLOGY FIELD TRIP Saturday, May 11, at 7 a. m., four Chevrolets left Kendall enroute to Euffalo where the General Biology class, accompanied by their instructor, Prin- cipal Osborn, visited several points of interest. The first building they visited was the Buffalo Museum of Natural Sci- ence. Here they heard a lecture concerning the biological specimens which they saw. After lunch they explored the Botanical Gardens where they saw real banana trees and plants. Then the four cars followed each other across the city to the Zoo where they saw the largest elephant in captivity. From the Zoo they went to Niagara Falls and viewed the American Falls. After a very pleasant trip as well as an educational tour of many points of interest, they returned home tired but happy. TABLE-TENNIS Early last winter, the school purchased a table-tennis set for the use of the students. After a few weeks practice, elimination games were played to de- termine the champion of the school. It narrowed down until Milford Cliff and Robert King were the only surviving contenders. In a student participation program at P. T. A. meeting, the finals were played with Robert King finally beating his opponent, Milford Cliff.

The major activity of the girls' chorus was its participation in a contest at Lockport. The report of the judges received afterwards was most com- plimentary. Mr. Russell Carter, the State Supervisor of Music, visited Kendall High School this year and after hearing the chorus sing, gave the members school credit. V2 unit is given for two years' work. The chorus should be congratulated on its faithfulness and ability. Mrs. Anderson especially deserves recognition for her persistent work. ll K Page Twenty-one 1935 THE TROUBADOUR ORCHESTRA First Row-D. Crandall, R. Wing, J. Rowe, L. Baumer Second Row-E.
