May this spirit ever prevail in our school and community as it has in the past years that we have enjoyed as students at Manlius High. THE BUILDING Located at the edge of Manlius is a fully accredited four-year high school. The present main building was built in 1920, and the west wing gyrn-nisum was built in 1931. In 1944, the farm shop which occupies the east end of the campus, was constructed. A sport field is located just north of the building and occupies the full length of the campus. The Manlius High School campus is recognized as the most beautiful in the county for the size of the school. 3 John Dale Claude Barber, Lloyd Van Ormer, Stacy Hewitt Paul McMahn Mr. George N.

There were twenty-three of us, eighteen boys and five girls, who stepped upon the threshold of a bright future at dear old Manlius High Our first year of school proved to be exciting and since we were “Green Freshmen,” also proved to be educational. At the helm of our honorable class was Gail Anderson, the boy from Tailholt, who soon made himself well-known. Other officers during our first year were: Joe Johnson, vice president; DonnaLee Jacobsen, secretary-treasurer, and Dick Oloff-son and Jackie Steers, our representatives to the Student Council. Mr. W eber, our science and math instructor, was our capable adviser. At the start of the year we experienced the traditional initiation, which will always remain in our memory.-Other events on the freshman calendar were the fine school parties enjoyed by all the students. We returned in the fall of ’45 after a happy summer vacation to begin our second year at Manlius. W'e lost one student, Evelyn Fordham, but gained three, Marilyn Hadley, Gerald Doty and Warren Eathrop. Gail Anderson remained president of our class; Judd Doty, vice president; Marilyn Hadley was secretary-treasurer, and Dick Oloffson and Donna-Lee Jacobsen represented our interests on the Student Council. Miss Van Ormer was our adviser. As Sophomores we did a capable job in helping to initiate the new Freshmen and we “rounded out” the year by sponsoring the most exciting school party that has been held since we have attended school here . . . lest we forget, this class enjoyed the individual fame of throwing their F.nglish books out the window! Ah! Our Junior year was the one that was “jolly!” Our class had increased to twenty-seven members. New students included Rita Jensen and Bernice Thompson. Yes, Gail was again president of the class; Dick, vice president; Corky Lath-rop, secretary-treasurer, and James Carlson and Willis Barber, Student Council members. Miss Brunskill piloted us through an ever-successful year, highlighted by such events as our class play, “Polishing Papa,” and the Junior-Senior Prom. With its theme, “Stardust,” the gym became a beautiful ballroom for such an occasion. So ended our year as Juniors as we ushered the graduates on to their future positions as alumni of Manlius 1 ligh. In the fall of ’47 we came back for what we had hoped would be our last year of high school. Miss Hermes directed our class with Jim Carlson our president; Dick Oloffson, vice president; Rita Jensen, secretary, and Gail Anderson, treasurer. Gene Harr , and Willis Barber represented our class on the Student Council. We gained one student, Warren Taylor, which increased our class to twenty-eight members and gave us the distinction of being the largest class ever to graduate from Manlius High School. Our Senior year proved to be the “crowning glory” of our high school career. We sponsored a carnival, a dance and a play entitled “Junior Miss.” Also on our calendar were the Junior-Senior Prom and, of course, commencement, the last time we took our place as students of the high school. This brings us to the close of four eventful years, pleasant years. Little do we know of what may lie ahead of us, but always in our work we shall strive to use the things we have learned in high school to the best of our ability. We shall always cherish our days at Manlius as the best days of our lives and many times we shall wish we were still in school among our dear friends, teachers and classmates. 10 r % JAMES L.

First ,wc leave our good wishes and the hope of new stage curtains to the school board. Second, to the faculty we leave our most sincere hope that they will be able to carry on without our provision of “disciplinary problems” and that they will find someone worthy to fill our memorable places in that noonday haven, presently known as the “detention room.” 1 bird, each members of the Senior Class hereby give, devise, and bequeath to some underclassman one of his cherished possessions, personalities or properties with the command that they value and treasure said characteristics with due respect. I, Gail Anderson, do bequeath to Ned Swanson the fight to keep the Tailholt spirit alive. I, Judd Doty, do will my curly hair to you, Cleo Jean Gumfory.

We, the members of the Senior Class, have set our hands and seals hereto this twenty-eighth day of May in the year of our Lord one thousand nine hundred and forty-eight. 21 CLASS PROPHECY o After being away from Manlius High for some thirty years, we were indeed happy to take a vacation from our airship designing to attend the 30th Anniversary Homecoming Banquet honoring the Class of ’48. Upon our arrival to the old stamping grounds, what should we see, much to our amazement, but the biggest “boom-town” in the world—the “Tri-Cities of the Midwest”—Manlius, New Bedford, and Thomas. Their combined population numbered something over ten million. My, how the old school district had changed! We arrived at the Municipal Terminal at 7:00 a.m., in our own plane, the “Jet Special.” I lardly had we stepped from our plane when we noticed two men getting off the local freight. They looked familiar from a distance and why not? For as we approached these bewhiskered individuals, we discovered these two bums to be none other than Cliff Vandermoon and Judd Doty, co-editors of the new society magazine, “The Bum’s Rush.” T hey seemed happy to find someone they knew so we took them with us to the picnic grounds which was the former campus of our Alma Mater. As we opened the gate to our old Alma Mater, we were glad to see that the Federal Government had recognized its importance to a degree where they had made the spot into a National Park. We were greeted by its caretakers, Lowell Drayton and Gail Etheridge. They hadn’t changed much in these thirty years as neither of them were married. In fact, they informed us that they were receiving great returns from a book of which they were coauthors entitled “Fun and Single Blessedness.” While strolling up to the pavilion, we were charmed to meet a striking woman whom we recognized immediately as Marilyn Hadley. She informed us that her husband, Gail Anderson, was in the trucking business with Richard Oloffson, their company being the first to use steam engines in their trucks. With Marilyn was Donna Lee Jacobsen, who by this time had won her way to Broadway as a dramatic star. What a start “Junior Miss had afforded her! Next to greet us was Richard Vetter, M.A., now professor of English at the Thomas University. His latest addition to the curriculum wsa a class called the “Art of Blowing Bubble Gum.” Our glances moved on to two rather familiar- looking creatures lying in the shade of a tree at the far end of the park, Robert Engels and Bill Van DeVelde, owners of the Dinglev Real Estate Association. Near them we noticed two men engaged in a yo-yo contest—none other than La Verne Labahn and Dean Jensen, owners of the world’s largest yo-yo factory. As we turned to go into the pavilion we noticed some fellow telling a story to a charming young lady. We immediately recognized the fellow as “Girky” Lathrop, but who is the lady? She was giggling—sure enough—“Isy.” Those two still had their unusual sense of humor. Corky had become a very successful surgeon and Isy was the owner of the most exclusive women’s apparel shop in the Tri-Cities. Upon entering the pavilion, what should we see and hear but “Bud I lanson and his Wacky Wacketeers.” This band leader had earned the distinction of playing any piano number forward and backward. We were happy to see, however, that Bud hadn’t forgotten his fellow-classmates when he organized this nation-wide famous band, tor we noticed Bud Kirkpatrick at the saxophone and Jackie Steers playing the only accordion in the world with a built-in air compressor. After a fine musical interlude we were summoned to dinner. At the head table sat the honored guests—Stanley %Yliller, the winner of the 500-mile speedway race at Indianapolis, in a 1940 Buick! Joe Johnson and Warren Taylor, co-managers of the Tri-City Red Devils', the greatest pro-basketball team in the nation; Gene Haftz and Keith Olson, the largest stock-holders in the John Deere Implement Company; and such music celebrities as Rose-Mary Gomion, Metropolitan Opera star; and Bernice Thompson and Rita Jensen, the only two women, to say nothing of the fact that they were the only drummers, ever to reach the position equivalent to what they had attained—co-conductors of the 250-piccc New Bedford Philharmonic Orchestra. Yes, the Homecoming Banquet, with its speeches from all these fine celebrities, ended all too quickly, for soon we found our Jet Special ready to take us back to our work. But it was with a light heart that we left for we realized that only the renowned Class of ’48 could find such success! 23 LLHLOZ CL tin Class Officers Seared: Robert Rudiger, Student Council representative; Dorothy Engels, vice president; Eugene Wirth, secretary; Lois Sanden, president. Standing: Miss Coleman, Senior Class adviser; Donna Mae Coggins, Student Council representive. This promising class of 1949 is rather small in comparison to the other three classes. However, what it lacks in number it makes up in quality for about 30 per cent of its students are usually on the Honor Roll. Their play, “Bolts and Nuts,” was one of the largest activities of the year and we know that their prom will be equally as successful.

W hen the Freshmen of last year which numbered 27 members came back to school for their second term, they had lost three members and gained one, making their Sophomore Class number 24. I hese shining examples of M.H.S. sponsored a dance in the midlc of April which, thus far, was the finest dance of the school year. 26 How 1, reading down: Harold Oloffson, Nelda Nelson, Gwendolyn De Crane.

On the first day of school, nineteen frightened, green freshmen approached the main building of Manlius High School. It did not take them long to abandon their shy ways, however. Under the capable leadership of their adviser, Mr. Rice, the class has successfully established themselves as students at M.H.S. 28 Darlene Wicht Melva Lang Marilyn Brant Joan Johnson Lola Schmidt Ned Swanson Howard Johnson Billy Gaunt Joyce Engels Roger Johnson Jimmy Etheridge Floyd Toppert Rov Mueller Fred Alters Robert Fox 29 BAND The complete band consists of seventeen members. The whole group meets on an average of twice a week and sectional practices and private instruction are held each day. The band has participated in both the fall and spring concerts. ♦ GIRLS' CHORUS The girls’ chorus consisting of 33 girls meets three times a week. From this group was chosen the Girls’ Glee Club of twenty-two members who competed in the IHSA Music Contest. Their numbers were “The Year’s at the Spring” by Gain and “The Green Cathedral” by Hahn. They placed in Division I. The complete chorus has participated in both the fall and spring concerts. Soloists in this group are Isabelle Ghaunt, Vera Schuneman and Rosemary Gorman. MIXED This organization, due to a change in Schedule, had different members at various times throughout the year, but the From this chorus was chosen the Giris’ Trio consisting of Vera Schuneman, La-Vetta Jensen and Isabelle Gaunt. The trio competed in the II ISA Music Contest also, receiving a II plus rating. Their number was “A Brown Bird Singing” by Wood. They have sung at community programs. Our accompanist, Lola Mac Schmidt, is also a chorus member. She has played not only for the chorus but smaller groups and soloists as well in both concerts and contests. ♦ CHORUS mixed chorus has sung at both concerts and for P.T.A. meetings. Soloist with this group is Calvin Hanson, baritone. BOYS' QUARTET The “Four Forty-Fighters,” the favorite musical organization of both the student body and the community, consists of W illis Barber, Warren Lathrop, Calvin Hanson, and James Carlson. They were in demand from the time of their first appearance and will be remembered for their fine “Barber Shop Harmony.” Willis Barber, the bass of the group, received a Division I rating at IHSA Music Contest with his rendition of “Shipmates O’ Mine.” He has also done a great deal of successful solo work for both school and community functions. 31 Willis 4 48’ers .Mixed Chorus Girls’ Glee Club Vera Girls’ Trio Rosie CHEERLEADERS AND PEP CLUB I lie Cheerleaders this year were chosen by a majority vote of the student body. Three girls were chosen: Rita Jensen, Bernice Thompson, and Lois Sanden. These girls formed the nucleus of a new organization under the direction of Miss Cole- man known as the Pep Club. Any one in the cheering section was invited to join the club. It did much to stimulate school spirit for the teams and made for a much larger school representation at out-of-town games. ANNUAL PLANNING COMMITTEE The Annual Planning Committee composed of James Carlson, Willis Barber, Gail Anderson, Richard Oloffson, and Gene Mart ., were chosen by the Senior class for the purpose of setting up our An- nual. Under the sponsorship of Miss I ler-mes, this committee went about the task of gathering pictures and stories on all of the major school activities. It is to this committee that we are indebted for our Mirror of “48.” SENIOR CLASS PLAY The Senior class presented a Broadway play this year entitled “Junior Miss,” on Saturday, April 24. It was well received by the school and the community and there were several requests to give a repeat performance, but due to an already over-loaded schedule, it was impossible.

Many thought after these boys graduated there would be a slump in football but the underclass boys proved that they were of a capable caliber that should prove to make them tough to handle next year by any conference team. Among these boys were the Oloffson twins, Wilson, Wirrh brothers, Hapner, Cox, Wise, Rudiger, and many Freshmen who shall make a smooth running outfit next fall. We started the season with a bang against Ohio. This is the first year for Ohio to be a member of the Littie Eight. We romped over them to the tune of 46-0. Anderson, Oloffson, and 1 lanson each collected two touchdowns each. Olson, Johnson, Wirth and Wirrh collected the rest of scoring. Anderson ran the opening kickoff back for a touchdown, thus making him the first scorer for Manlius this year. At LaMoille the next week we had a little sriffer opposition till we caught to their spread defense. Our big loss was the injury of Carlson, Johnson, and Dick Oloffson. We emerged the victor to the tune of 38-13. Johnson crossed the goal line three times in this encounter. At Xeponset Q-back Anderson had new personnel in the backfield and the machine didn't start rolling till the second quarter. Then the subs proved their worth with vicious running, faking, and blocking. Several collected in the scoring. Score 46-0. We then had our Homecoming and we gave the Alumni a warm welcoming with a 76-0 victory. Anderson collected four markers in the game to take scoring honors. The line at times made many of these long runs and touchdowns possible by opening tremendous holes and splendid downfield blocking. Jim, Joe, and Dick saw action in this game. At Tiskilwa we gained a 34-0 victory over a stubborn foe. Dick (). got hurt, which put him out of operation for die rest of the season with an injured knee. Harry C). showed considerable promise in this encounter after taking his injured brother’s place. Now the long-awaited moment had approached and the game of the year for us was here. We played Sheffield and beat them, 27-12. Without the services of Dick C). our backfield was a little slower, but Bill VanDeVelde filled his place well and his sharp off-tackle slashes Were very effective. Our passing was accurate and we competed 11 out of 16. Johnson really poured on the steam to carry him across the line three times. Doty made the other score on a march that shall take a great deal of effort to match again. From end to end they played like demons and it really showed when you play a game behind them. Our depth of material was also a strong point. Much credit should be given to Sheffield for they had a good team that fought hard. The last game for 11 Seniors was at Buda. Dick was on the sidelines but he would have wished to have been out there to help us celebrate the completion of high school eligibility in football. We played on the coldest day of the fall but we came out victorious to the sound of 69-6. It was a fitting end for a great group of boys who have performed on the gridiron the last four years for Manlius. 42 J947 Football Squad Hanson Vandermoon Vetter Olson Johnson Oloffson Carlson Doty Anderson Tan DeVelde In rhc line (left to right): Calvin I Janson, Cliff Vandermoon, W arren Taylor, Jim Carlson, Richard erter and Judd Dotv.

Five lettermen, Anderson, Johnson, R. Oloffson, Hanson, and Carlson, formed the nucleus of the '47-’48 team. Five other hoys, Wilson, Hart , Vetter, Taylor, and Olson, completed the number of varsity personnel. Under the direction of Gilbert Veach who replaced Mr. Keist as cage mentor this season, we completed a rather successful season. We won 18 and lost 10. We got second place in the conference and conference tourney and placed fourth in the county and second in the district. Highlights of the season were the four victories over Sheffield, three by comfortable margins and the other a slim one. In the county we gave Hall Township a battle that will be remembered for quite some time. Another was the comeback win over Mineral in the county after the overwhelming defeat they administered us on their home floor. The low spot was the three defeats administered by Ohio. The Jayvees had a very successful season and these boys, with Wilson, should make a formidable showing against all opposition next year. Rudiger, the Oloffson twins, Wirth brothers, Swanson, Hapner, and DeSkcere were the nucleus of the seconds.

He can be depended on to garner many points this season. JOSEP11 JOI INSON, 220 yard dash, low hurdles, broad jump, varsity relay. “Joe’s” versatility and dependability will insure Manlius of many points. He will be a consistent winner. JA,MI'S CARLSON, shot, discus. “Jim” can be depended on to turn in many points in these two departments. WILLIS BARBER, half-mile. Willis will consistently contribute points to the team in rhe half-mile this year. All halt-milcrs will watch him. GENE HARTZ, mile run. Gene was our surprise last year and this year lie can be counted on to make all milcrs pull to beat him. CALVIN 1IANSON, high jump, high hurdles, discus. Calvin will pick up enough points in these events to make him a valuable man to the team. He has good possibilities in rhe discus. WILLIAM VAN DE VELDE, 100 yard dash, 220 yard dash, varsity relay. With “Billy’s” speed lie will be a serious threat to all dash men in the “Little Eight” and county. GAIL ANDERSON, high hurdles, discus, varsity relay. With Gail’s ability you may be sure he will contribute many points to the team this year He has possibilites of setting a new discus record this year. H. OLOFFSON, WILSON, WISE, HUBBARD—These boys ran the fresh-soph relay last year. H. Oloffson will run again this year while the other boys will fill in the dashes. CLIFFORD VANDERMOON, 880 or mile. By past experience Cliff will be known to pick up many points in cither of these events. 47 1948 TRACK SQL AD Over thirty boys donned their spikes and set out to have another victorious season as last. Several letternicn returned and around these a potential team should be composed. Many record-breaking individuals and relays are included in the group. Johnson has possibilities in the lows, Anderson and Hanson in the discus, Hartz in the mile, and the varsity relay in all meets nearby. Anderson competed in the state meet last spring after getting a first in the Mendota district. Last year’s winning Fresh-Soph, relay should furnish some badly needed dash men to enable us to enter three men in all events. Our distance men arc potential and will pick up manv firsts for us. The Fresh-Soph group this year should cultivate a winning team. TRACK SCI 1F.DULE April 6: Sheffield 77 2 5; Manlius 63 3 5; Ne-ponset 12.
