THE MIRROR Published by THE SENIOR CLASS of Manlius Township High School Nineteen Hundred Thirty-six Vol. 1 No. 1 THE MIRROR . it is with a deep sense of respect, reverence, and gratitude that this book is dedicated to our parents. Their unselfish sacrifice, and wise counseling have hiaue our high school education a possibility. May we justify the faith which they have placed in us by striving for and attaining the worth-while things of life. THE MIRROR OUR SCHOOL On April first, nineteen hundred and thirteen an election was held in Manlius Township for the purpose of deciding whether or not a high school should be organized The majority of voters decided in the affirmative and on the twenty-fourth of May of the same year, an election for the board of education was held. Classes were first held in the garage building now occupied by Mr. Lancaster. The main part of our present building was built in 1920 and the addition was made in 1931. Mrs. Laura Andrews Rennick of Buda, Illinois was the first graduate of Manlius Township High School. THE BOARD OF EDUCATION President..... Vice President Secretary...... Members.......

THE MIRROR. ASSEMBLY PROGRAMS Miss Hurt, whose father is a missionary in Belgian Congo, on September 13 gave a very interesting discussion of life in Africa. Miss Hurt is attending Kno:: College this year. An Assembly program was given on Armistice Day of which the main attraction was a speech given by Carey Johnson, former States Attorney of Bureau County. Bill Bones, a traveling lecturer, gave a very philosophical address in the auditorium on January 8. It pertained exp eciallj to the high school students interpretation of life and its problems. Dr. Fay, Professor of Modern Languages at Knox College, on January 14 gave an interesting lecture on the life and historical development of New Mexico. Having made a trip through the west he was well-informed on the subject. Dr. R. S. Miller, Professor of Psychology at Knox College, appeared before the assembly on May 4 and addresse.. the student body on the subject- Keeping Mentally Fit. The students were probably treated to the most interesting assembly program of the year on March 26 when the Cotton Blossom Singers from Piney Woods School at Piney v oods, Mississippi, were here for a forty-minute assembly period. Tht. group of singers was composed of four men and their accompianint, Miss llulette. They sang several negro spirituals.

It was then that v e boarded this ship of learning, the dirigible,-Manlius High School. In this large and roomy ship we were to navigate the charted sky paths of learn ing and understanding, guided by the commander and the crew. On Labor Day we merely walked through our ship to acquaint ourselves with the plans for our trip and with our classmates and the crew. As we studied the maps for this four year journey, we felt a few qualms--would we make it, or might we take to a parachute before it v as all over? Then recalling the stories of the' happy times of earlier voyagers, we were encouraged to go ahead and do the best we knew. Soon v e became accustomed to the routine on board and could find our way from one cabin of knowledge to another .without blazing a trail. Names and faces v ere connected and the crew made us £eel at home. We elected class officers and chose a special steward. -Air sickness and the altitude in the Sky of Learning affected a few, but upon the advice of the Steward, they soon over came these weaknesses and took their daily nourish ment of algebra, Latin, etc., with some degree of assimilation and comfort. We rounded out our first year's journey, feel .ing less green , and more accomplished as navigators in the dirigible. Next year we would show r the little Frosh. the v onders, the traditions, the jokes of our companionable life aboard the Manlius High School. After a summer of fun and work, we returned in the fall of 1933 anxious to start the routine of life aboard. Knowing our way about, we serious ly considered discarding our parachutes, but thought better of it when, upon scanning the' passenger list, we discovered a few missing names. This., second year, with its Initiation Party,geometry, themes,.and ancient 'history came to a close THE MIRROR THE CLASS VOYAGE (continued) in a blaze of semester examinations and torrid weather, and once again we moored the dirigible to her pylon until the next autumn. With a Junior air of authority, we .ascended the runway to our Manlius High school in September 10 4 where we met several new members of the crew Ah, we had great things to accomplish this yearl For the entertainment of our crew and classmates, we put on a play I Willi I Won't! and were elated at the returns at the box office, for with that money we would finance another great event, the junior senior Banquet, what labor, what loving care went into the preparation--the decorationsl With this event we wished the senior Class Happy Landings and soon found ourselve.s back at the fly ing field of home again. Our last year aboard the dirigible, Manlius High School; With the dignity befitting SQnior passengers we began our chartmaking for the year. This year we would keep a permanent, log of the journey and call it The Mirror. Classes,athletics, Homecoming, Carnival, all swam by our dazed eyes. Our senior play started the spring events, and with laudable receipts again, we decided patsy Strings Along was a success. Those last days went by with aching swiftness for us. All too soon the Junior senior Banquet, and we were hearing the parting words of our valedictorian, Dorothy Linde-lof, and our salutatorian, Maynard Swanson, on the dirigible, Manlius High school, with diploma in hand we thought, It is all over. But on a second thought, Or is it just beginning? IN MEMORIAM To Leiand Murray We are comforted by the thought that, were he with his classmates now, he would be one of the best.--- But life, though falling like our grain, Like that revives and springs again; And, early called, how blest are they Who wait in heaven their harvest-dayl —Whittier ARTHUR CARLSON ONA EDLSFSON Sanlor Play Junior Play Football 1-2-3-4 Softball 2-3-4 LURA DRAPER Sanlor Play junior Play School Play 1 Oparatta 1 Chaarlaadar 3-4 Sac.

ADVANCED TYPET RITINO CLASS Lura Draper Loretta Gish Irene Hansen Helen Johnson Margaret Kares Dorothy Lindelof Norene Renner Paul Stoens Maynard Swanson Neva Thompson The typewriting class is an important class in the commercial department. It requires hard work and a great deal of practice to learn to become efficient typists. After two years of diligent labor we have made great progress and we are sure it is worth all the effort we have put forth. We have ten Woodstock typewriters in our department. General science is a required course for all freshmen. At the beginning of tne year two groups were organized by dividing the class of thirty alphabetically. Each group iias three recitations and two double laboratory periods a week In the picture both classes are combined. The Foods laboratory was completely remodeled in the Fall of 1935. Three Magic Chef stoves using pyrofax Gas, a new arrangement of the tables, which are covered with battleship linoleum, and a new color schema of green and white have made it a well-equipped and delightful work-room. The girls enrolled in the Foods Class are as follows: Ona Edlefson, Norma Lathrop, Madalyn Van Deusen, Dorothy Roush, Gladys Conley,and Lillian Gish. GENERAL SCIENCE FOODS T H h MiKKOR. SOCIAL EVENTS FRESHMAN INITIATION The first social event of the year was the Freshman Initiation Party which was held September 20. Laurence De Bolt and Lauretta Stoens provided very good initiating material, but apparently suffered no ill effects. Everyone enjoyed seeing Le Hoy Hard while blindfolded, attempt to eat unboiled spaghetti. All the Freshmen presented a ’.ludicrous sight with signs, green dresses, powder, and paint tacked on them by upper classmen. Games were played and later refreshments were served. HALLO'E'EN PARTY A Hallowe'en Party was given at the high school gym ’ on Friday evening, November 1. The first part of the evening was spent playing gaves. A luncheon, consisting of pop and cookies, was then served. Several 3f the boys used the effervescent quality of their pop to good advantage. This was followed by an hour of dancing to the tune of a radio especially improvised for th purpose. A pleasant time was had by all. HOLECOMING The annual Manlius Homecoming was held thfcs school year on October 11, 1935. In the afternooA there was a football game between Manlius and Vyanet. The wyanet boys, however, threw the pigskin from one end of the gridiron to the other, and defeated us by the lop-aide i score, of 73-0. In the evening, a program was given in which all classes were represented. Miss Beyer coached the Class of 36 for the presentation of their short, humorous play which was entitled, Fun in a Photograph Gallery. The Juniors gave a preview of their class play, Girl Shy. The combined freehand Sophomore classes presented an Amateur don test. Many Alumni were pres-nt and they als%, gave a play. THE MIRROR G. A. A The girls athletic association is an organization which helps to promote sportsmanship. A point system is worked out so the girls can work for awards. There are two awards—the local and state, points may be obtained by riding bicycles, skating, hiking, horse back riding, and many other such sports as well as by observing rules of hygi ene. THE FUTURE FARMERS OF AMERICA The Future Farmers of America is a national organization of vocational agriculture students. The Manlius Chapter is a part of this organization, in the state there are over two hundred and fifty such chapters and a similar number of chapters are located in every state in the Union. GLEE CLUB Our Glee Club this year has been considerably smaller than in previous years. We had a large enrollment at the beginning of the year but it has dwindled to about tv enty. re sang at the Annual Manlius Home Coming and a representative group sang at a Minstrel show. Outside of our two rehearsals weekly, we have not been very busy. We hope next year's Glee Club will continue the good work and possibly extend it.

Upon arriving in Bureau County I learned that Maurice was to be married that evening and .if I would hurry I could arrive shere in time for thw ceremony. I hurried, and found all of the members of the Class of '36 present. I was ushered in by Paul Steens and learned that he is a professional usher and has added dig nity to his appearance by wearing hat, gloves, and spats, and carrying a special usher's cane. just as the wedding march was being played by Bernadine, a famous pianist, Arthur arrived with sqme last minute guests; all classmates. Lura, Neva, and Helen had come from all .parts of the country to Chicago and had depended on Arthur to get them there on time -Arthur ivor. ar. automobile race at Indianapolis and Manlius has erected the Carlson Hospital-f m his honor. He was very much disappointed to think he could not reach New Bedford from Chicago in less than forty-six minutes and thirty-six seconds, but it coaildn't be done. Neva was returning from a swimming meet, which she had won- of course, because of her practice during childhood. Helen is an opera singer anct we had the honor of hearing her singing Dinner for One, please James. Lura is a dress designer in Paris and had designed the brides dress for her. Marvin was best man and we learned that he had been led to the altar many times himself. At present he is a traveling salesman, selling his favorite cigarettes;. Much to my surprise Edward Hard performed the THE MIRROR SENIOR CLASS PROPHECY (continued) ceremony. I learned that he has become a much respected minister of one of the largest churches of Chicago. The wedding dinner was prepared by the great chef Alfon and served by Norene and Margaret. Nor ene and Margaret are now hostesses in hotels in Florida. Wayne has been declared public Hero No. 1 because of his rescue of the stewardess of his burning plane. Much to our surprise we learned that Dorothy had been unable to carry her freshmen sub jects at her favorite college and had become a stewardess on Wayne's plane. The passengers.Jacob, Gene, Maynard, and Raymond are all well known men. Jacob,, is a professor at Brownswood college. Gene, is a radio announcer, famous because of the expression in his voice. Raymond is Hollywood's favorite and has won the hearts of many in his last picture. Maynard is the Editor of three great papers- The Manlius Daily,� The New Bedford weekly and Thom as News, published annually. The wedding was to be given a prominent place in all these papers. Irene had been married shortly after her graduation and is living happily in New Bedford. Sho-had as her guest for the week end, Loretta, who is now the private secretary of the mayor of Manlius. mmmmmmm Some people might learn a lesson by looking at a clock. It passes the time by keeping its hands busy. mmmmmmm Many singers, like Freshmen, should be seen and not heard. AUTOGRAPHS
