In shelter and by lowered light, We're writing to you, our hands a bit shaky, And our pens dipped in blue, The news is depressing, life will see a change, This world is yet quite out of range. Our teachers and classmates, we will treasure alway, The folks seem so friendly, we've a debt to repay, A debt to every person for all of our fun At the Mayville Central School. The bells in the schoolhouse, Ne'er will ring as before, The clock in the classroom, won't tell time as before, But upon the hillside, stands a place heaven-blessed, The Mayville Central School. Each day at eventide, when we seek haven from our daily care, You'll find us by her sideg It'll bring back life so fair. 1 We kneel in our solitude and silently pray, That heav'n will protect this school, And there'll come a day, the trials will be over, And that we'll meet a-gain At the Mayville Central School.

H1-l-ln, 'I947 THE PACEMAKER HISTORY OF THE CLASS OF 1947 Well, here we are at The end of the line, graduating ready to go out into the big wide world and make-well, Try -a living for ourselves. It Took a long Time To get here, but it was worth iT . . . or was it? lt's hard for us to remember as far back as our freshman year when we had four long years of school ahead of us. We were amateurs at choosing officers but did pretty well with Betty Waterman as president, Dick Galloway, vice-president, Dorothy Saxton, secretary, and Josie Gagliano, treasurer. Mrs. Brunke, our class advisor, had a time keeping us quiet, especially noon hours. One party we'll never forget that year was our Hallowe'en party aT The County Home - neither will BetTy's folks. if you don't believe The cider was hard, just ask Jack Carlson. A lot of us had known The fundamentals of Post Office but we really learned to play that night. Too bad Pauline had To miss The party just because she didn't ioin us until January. Then came our sophomore year Through which Mrs. Barber guided us. We had swell Times that year, especially a couple of rugged hay-rides. Leland iBouncei Crandall left us for The Air Corps, and Carol Miller decided she'd rather go to Chautauqua School. That year for class officers we had Ray Munson, president, Betty Waterman, vice- presidentg Shirley Jacobson, secretary, and Bill Hansen, Treasurer. Marilyn Carpenter and Shirley May ioined us This year but I guess we were too much for Shirley because she had To leave The next. Marilyn stayed with us to be one ot The Class of '47. We started our junior year with Mr. Steward as advisor, poor man, and Ellen Miller, president, Newell Near, vice-president, Louise Harrington, secretary, and Bill Hansen, Treasurer, as our officers to guide us Through. Our first big activity ot The year was The Sadie Hawkins Day Dance, which we spent much Time preparing but had lots of fun. Vtle didn't raise very much money but the floor show was a wow! , Doc Near left us for The Army early in The year. June Paddock and Della Foster left us, too, preferring a wedding ring to a class ring. Our next big Task was decorating The gym for The seniors of '46 Class Night. A lot of Time was spent on iT, especially looking for The flowers - iust ask Jean or Ray. In June came The Junior Prom which was The first held in years. Everyone doomed its success from The start but as usual we came Through. Josie Gagliano was chosen as our delegate to Girls' State during The summer. We're all sorry she didn't join us again in The fall. Our loss was Jamestown's gain. And last, but certainly not least, came our senior year. Again we had Mr. Steward by unanimous request. ' By this time we were - or thought we were - experts at choosing officers, who are Bruce Renner, president, Jean Chamberlain, vice-president, Louise Harrington, secretary, and Shirley Jacobson, treasurer. This year a Student Council was formed, taking two students each from seventh through twelfth grades. Betty Waterman and Dick Galloway were our contribution. Two welcome additions to our class This year were Betty Evans and Helen Beck, whose laugh competes with Betty Waterman's. Geraldine was the only senior to compete in the oratorical contest at Mayville. She received second place here and went on to Jamestown to compete, where she received first place in her, class. From the first of the year we Talked, planned and worked toward going to Wash- ington. Our first attempt toward earning money was our magazine campaign by which we earned 524425. Bruce and Jean sure had fun keeping track of all the money and l don'T believe so much had ever passed through Shirley's hands before. THE-PACEMAKER 1947 In the fall we conducted a Save the Children campaign by collecting clothes, food and other supplies to send to the French school in Calais which we adopted. Everyone contributed as much money toward it as they could, with which more supplies were bought and sent. Our Hallowe'en social went over with a bangq With the help of Miss Brown, the gym was decorated with witches, cornstalks and lack-o' lanterns. The most enioyable event of the evening was the amateur show which went over big with the help of Father Spears as Mrs, X. ' Under the guidance of Mr. Steward we showed our ability for acting by putting on two very good performances of That Crazy Smith Family. Didn't Shirley make a good mother, though, and Bill and Bob's fight was .very realistic - almost too much so. Our next attempt at making money was a paper drive. lt wasn't much fun collect- ing it in that rain and slush, was it, kids? The most wonderful and outstanding event of the year was our long-awaited trip to Washington. We sure hated to have to leave four kids at home. We all had a won- derful time there and saw many points of interest such as the Capitol, Lincoln's and Jetlerson's Memorials, and the Bureau of Engraving and Printing, also many temporary buildings that had been up for years - right, kids? The evenings there were spent in many different ways. Some of the kids even did a little sight-seeing on their own - just ask Mary or Betty Evans. We all wished we had about twice as long there, especially Bev - after Monday. Upon reaching home we were informed that The Sentinel was ottering five dollars for the best account of the Washington trip by one of the seniors. We all competed but Jean, the lucky girl, outdid us all and won. And now here it is Class Night and soon it will be graduation and we will have to leave. It's been a long time and we've had lots of laughs and fun, though we've worked hard and had a few disappointments too. We'd like to thank you all for the help you've given us to make our class projects a success and we'd like to tell you how proud we are to be graduates of Mayville Central School. By: Margaret Ann Fischer and Fred Hartmann.

Signed: HOWARD GALLOWAY SHIRLEY JACOBSON -vw. , THE PACEMAKER 1947 CLASS PROPHECY It was the 23rd of May, 1967. I had just finished arrangements for checking out of the Astor Hotel in London when the signing of the date, May 23rd, brought back memories of a similar date some 20 years before. As I stood there in somewhat of a daze the names of Dorothy, Jeanne, Bob, Howie, Sally, and many others passed through my mind. Each name and many others brought back to me pleasant memories of Class Night activities at Mayville Central School. But I could not stand there in such bewilderment even though I would have liked to do so, for I was on my way back to the good old U. S. A. after a long sojourn of nearly three years. My employers, The American Dress Designers, Inc., had sent me abroad to tour European cities and to contact dealers in fine textiles in the hope of bringing back new ideas and samples of fine materials which would be suitable for the teen-age girls of America. I had but a few moments to spare so I cast aside those brief but happy memories in order that I might catch a plane which was to take me to an awaiting steamer. I called for a porter and soon I had my baggage with me and was in a taxi on the way to the airport. As I entered the beautiful, spacious waiting room I was greeted by this loud and rasping voice coming over the loud-speaker--quote: Calling Miss Betty Water- man, Plane No. 426-X, due to leave on Runway 3 in three minutes. Were my ears deceiving me? No, for at that moment from the balcony above, a droll voice said, Hello, Betty! As I looked up who should I see but Allan Ames dressed in his sleek business suit with a white carnation in his lapel. Time did not permit me to stop and visit but later, upon inquiring I found that Mr. Ames, the former bashful boy from Hartfield, had become a successful aero- nautical engineer. As I boarded the plane I was met by this tall, handsome pilot who was to take me on this part of my journey. May I help you, madam? he politely asked, and then suddenly broke out in a loud Ha-ha! It was then I recognized my old friend, Bill Hansen. I was both pleased and happy to see him for even tho' I had always been a little bit afraid of plane rides I now felt safe and secure. Bill had always been a careful and safe driver of automobiles and I knew that I need not worry anymore. This unexpected meeting started me reminiscing. As we sailed through the air I could not help but wonder what next was in store for me. As I Walked toward the gangplank of the awaiting steamer I was delayed by an athletic type of man directly in front of me. He was being stopped by a customs officer who asked him, Do you have a passport, Mister? The man replied with a direct but somewhat nervous Yes, sir! That was enough, for I knew that such an answer could come from no one but Bob Young. Bob was also enroute to the States. He informed me had just returned from Oslo, Norway, Where his American five had captured the Olympic basketball crown. I was happy and relieved for I now knew that there would be at least one person I knew on this huge, palatial liner. I bought a daily New York paper and found a comfortable chair where I could relax and read a bit. The editorial page had always intrigued me and I turned to that immediately. The first editorial with headlines of 'fThe Spendthrift Americans met my eye. As I read on, I gleaned that the editor was critical of the average American high school student for being such a spendthrift and urged a complete reversal of policy toward ultra-conservatism. The article went on to say the amount of money H. S. boys were spending on girl-friends and good times was both dangerous and detrimental to the future of America. The editorial was signed only with a capital UB. My curiosity was aroused and upon investigation I found the signature was none other than that of Bruce or Boop Renner, as I knew him. Bruce had benefited from his training on the Mayville Sentinel and was now on the editorial staff of the New York Times. I turned to the feature section and my eyes caught this title- How to Be the Life of the Party, by Helen Himes. Helen was the former Helen Beck, who had moved to New York shortly after her marriage and had taken up feature writing. Reading farther I discovered where Captain Fred Hartmann and Admiral Chandler' Nelson were about to test Capt. Hartmann's new jet-propellectboat, the Sea Otter, No. 3. I learned that Fred had made wonderful improvements on this typfeof boat which had proved to be a 51,000,000 failure during World War II. . -fum' i 4 1 'I947 THE PACEMAKER I tossed the newspaper aside and turned on the radio in the hope of getting some good American dance music. Immediately the announcer said, quote: And now may I present Miss Margaret Ann Fischer, who will talk on 'The Trials and Tribulations of a Librarian'. This was better than what I hoped for, for Margaret Ann formed another link in this chain of memories which was making my journey more pleasant than I had dreamed. My watch told me it was 12 oiclock and I waited for the news broadcast. One bit of news revealed a bright outlook for the farmers of America, due to the work of Stage 8a Grey Experimental Station. This was no other than Delos and Bill who had always been interested in better ways of farming. They had just developed a new variety of potato known as the 'tReno-Blend which far surpassed any potato of the past. The news broadcast ended and the beautiful strains of opera music came over the network. I was carried to the Metropolitan Opera House in New York City where the leading soloist was the ever-famous Howard John Galloway, singing in the role of Figaro. The master of ceremonies, the venerable Milton J. Cross, announced that Mr. Galloway had won fame as an opera singer and much credit was due to the fact he had sung the leading part in Chloe several years before. My memories went back to my junior year in high school and the Sadie Hawkins Dance. I further learned that through his manager, Mr. Richard Galloway, the famous opera star was about to start for a tour to the opera centers of Europe. It was now time for lunch and as I walked through the long corridors toward the dining salon whom should I meet but two charming and attractive ladies-I did not need an introduction for I recognized them as the former Ellyn Miller and Pauline Warner. They informed me that they were engaged as hair stylists in an elite Fifth Avenue shop in New York City. They were returning from Paris where they had been giving demonstrations of How the Woman of Tomorrow Will Wear Her Hair. The next few days were somewhat uneventful but the time passed quickly for I had met some of my old friends and classmates and there was so much to talk about. I was awakened early one morning to learn that we were nearing New York Harbor and I hurriedly dressed and made ready to get another glimpse of the familiar Statue of Liberty. I hurried down the gangplank and went directly to the customs office to see about my baggage. As I passed through the gate a tall, dark-haired man in uniform smiled at me but said nothing. I smiled back and passed on-I knew that was enough, for as I remember, George Meadows at old MCS never did talk very much. I hailed a taxi to take me to my hotel. In a few moments I was seated in one of the most modern and comfortable taxis I had ever ridden in. In front of me was a sign which read, The Essex Car Taxi Co.-Elliott Long, Proprietor. Again my curiosity was arousedg I made further inquiry of the driver and discovered that Elliott had improved and perfected the Essex automobile to such an extent that it was one of the leading cars on the market. Elliott owned and operated one of the largest taxi services in New York City. He likewise owned a large fleet of super Essex Taxicabs. As we passed up Fifth Avenue a brilliantly lighted sign gave me this information: Learn to Swim in Ten Easy Lessons-Reduced Rates-Inquire of Sally McIntyre, Instructor. I was extremely happy, for then I knew that Sally had realized a life- time ambition. I reached my hotel and went directly to my room. So far my journey had fur- nished me with many thoughts of recollecting the good old days at Mayville Central. I was very tired from the long trip and decided to go across the street to a drug store and enjoy a soda and then retire. I was waiting for someone to take my order when I overheard these words, This is our week-end special. It sells for only 98cg if youire not completely satisfied we will refund your moneyf' I thought I recognized the voice but was not sure. I then heard the clang of a cash register and the polite words of, Thank you, Madam. By this time I'd turned to look and sure enough there behind the counter, attired in a spotless white uniform, was Mary Balcom. I ordered my soda and Mary came over to talk with me. The next 30 minutes passed rapidly for Mary had lots to tell me and I was anxious to hear. She said she had just been promoted to assistant manager of this large drug store and could not make up her mind whether to accept it or return to Mayville and marry the man who was still waiting. She said she heard frequently from friends in Mayville and that Esther Smith was married and had a family of three nice children. They were residing on a farm near Hartfield. She also told me that Helen Parker was working as a nurse's aide in W. C. A. hospital. She said she had received a letter from Marilyn Carpenter. Marilyn was about to leave for her second trip as a missionary to China. Before I left we had made a date to go to the theatre the following night. THE PACEMAKER 1947 Before retiring that night I turned on the radio and was greatly surprised to hear this announcement, And now Eversharpbrings you the master wit of all time and the newest thing in radio-namely 'Rocky Rocky'. I could not believe my ears but as the program continued I recognized the droll, sarcastic voice of Roger Rothwell. Later I found he had taken over the former Henry Morgan show and had a promising career. The next evening Mary and I were seated in the first balcony of the beautiful Roxy Theatre. I had been curious why Mary should choose this theatre but she informed me that a surprise was in store. I was soon to find out. As the house lights dimmed I could hear the beautiful soparno voice of someone singing. The curtains parted and, lo and behold, there in the center of the stage was beautiful Louise or the former Louise Harrington. Mary told me that this was a repeat performance due to popular request. I suggested we go backstage and see her after the show. Later in the beautiful dressing room Louise was as surprised as we were. Our conversation trailed back to our school days in Mayville Central. I asked her if she ever heard from Bev Mount. She said she had. Beverly was happily married to a man from Wolcott. It had all come about as a result of the Washington trip during our senior year. Bev had continued .her work in art and had won great distinction for her paintings of outdoor scenes: I regretted the evening was not longer, but I knew that the days ahead were going to be busy ones for me, so I bid Mary and Louise good-bye and returned to my hotel. I had one day left before returning to my office and decided to take in a day of shopping. The next morning I was on my way to Macyis-I had always enjoyed shopping in that beautiful and large department store. As I stepped onto the escalator I noticed a sign which read, Visit Our New Beauty Salon on the Sixth Floor. I was in need of a manicure and so decided to try it. The next few minutes brought me another unexpected surprise which was going to fit in with the chain of surprises that had come to me during the past few days. I had seen many beautiful beauty salons while in Europe but none compared with this -with a sign over the entrance which read, 'fWelcome to Jeanne and Betty's. Here I found that inseparable pair of high school days doing a big business in this beautiful spot. I enjoyed this part of my shopping day very much for neither Jeanne nor Betty had changed much since the days of 1947 and naturally we talked fast and long. At about one o'clock I was looking for a place to eat. I had had so many oppor- tunities to recall our high school days that the word food made me think of The Fountainette and the many happy meetings that we used to have there. With that thought still lingering I hurried along. If only there was a Fountainette in New York City. I did not have to wish long for soon my eyes met this huge neon sign, Crandall's Fountainette-Famous for Fine Foods. This was it! I hurried in and then from behind the counter I heard the strains of the typical Jacobson giggle. Between mouth- fuls of the finest dinner I ever ate Jake and I pieced together our stories of the past twenty years. Shirley told me her oldest son, Leland Jr., was graduating from high school. A She also gave me more information about our former class. Heinie Harkness was operating one of the largest feed stores in Western New York. His headquarters were still at Mayvilleg also Heinie had built several apartment houses in that city and for the first time in many years there was not a housing shortage. I awoke the next morning with a reluctant feeling of returning to work. The past week had brought me so many pleasant memories that I did not want it to end. As I hurried to get to my office on time the names of those senior class members were passing through my mind. What about Geraldine? She was the last one on the list and then my memory book would be complete. I went to the office and immediately sought my employer to submit my report to him. In the outer office I was greeted by, May I help you, Madam? And then an exclamation, Why, Betty! There was Geraldine Turner as private secretary to my boss! She told me she had received the Job a short time after I left for abroad. In the midst of unanswered letters, reports to be made, and orders to be filled out I found it difficult to concentrate, even though I was alone in my own office. I knew that never again would I be able to have such a reunion with the class of '47 as I had had and I wanted it to last longer. As I closed my door to leave that night these thoughts kept returning to me- Xuould there ever be such a class as the Class of '47 and how I wish that I were back ere again. -Betty Waterman and Sally Mclntyre. l l I l 1 Y l 1 I 1 l 1 .4 'l w 1 1 b A 1 N 1947 THE PACEMAKER E PACEMAKER 'I9 ' .Qfg .. t O 1947 THE PACEMAKER EASTER IN WASHINGTON ln the early hours of April 4, i947, twenty-eight excited and wide-awake Mayville Seniors and their two chaperones left Westfield station for a long-awaited trip to Washington. The trip down was far from boring and if you don't believe it ask Bruce how he felt when the train almost left him in Olean, or listen to Dorothy Saxton and Jeanne Cham- berlain groan when questioned about the flood oh the train outside of Baltimore. Can you imagine Mr. Steward wading in the aisle with his pant-legs rolled up? Arriving in Washington about 8:30 p. mijvwe were taken by bus to the Lee-Sheraton hotel which was to be called Hhonief farithe next few days. The rest of the evening was spent getting settled in some swell rooms, experimenting with the telephone and elevators, and making a few safaris into the strange wilds of Washington. lt's lucky there was a cafeteria nearby the next morning because a few members of that wide-awake class had trouble getting out of bed. Our bus left at 8:45. The first stop was, of course, the Capitol. The group was split up for conducted tours of the whole building and everything was fine until a couple of them became determined to explore the dome. That would have been all right, too, except that it was late and we almost left without them. But that wasn't important because they accomplished one wonderful thing for posterity -- they counted the steps on the way down! Next on the tour was the Smithsonian institute, new and old museum and the air- craft building. At i130 p. m. the class and its leaders went for a tour of the city, including embassies, the zoo, and the national Episcopal cathedral. After that we drove to Virginia to visit Arlington National Cemetery and Lee's mansion. On the way back to the hotel we saw the statue of Jefferson in his beautiful memorial. Room services called each of the Mayville Seniors at six the next morning to leave for Easter sunrise services at Arlington Cemetery. Sunday afternoon was spent at Mount Vernon during one of the most beautiful summer days you have ever seen. The class divided into small groups in order to explore the huge grounds and buildings. At 7:30 Sunday evening the group left for a visit to the Congressional Library where we viewed the Declaration of Independence and the Constitution of our country. Monday morning we visited the Bureau of Engraving and Printing. We watched money being made but were discouraged from sampling the finished product. Washington Monument was the next stop. Most of the group walked up. We all agreed the view at the top was worth the climb though. Betty and Jeanne counted the steps and when they reached the top a sign read, H898 steps. Monday afternoon the group traveled to Annapolis to see the U. S. Naval Academy. On Tuesday the Seniors visited the National Gallery of Art, learning all about crime detection in the F. B. l. building, and ended their tour at the White House. Thellgoys enjoyed watching a shooting demonstration in the practice gallery of the F. B. l., while the girls held their ears and screamed, per usual. After meeting at the hotel at 7, the class received its last glimpse of the Capitol on the bus to the station. There were a few sighs and a lot of backward glances as they boarded the train for home at 8:10 p.m. HE PACEMAKER 1947 1947 THE PACEMAKER CAN YOU IMAGINE ? Dick Galloway without a joke to tell?

He has won the respect, confidence and co-operation of both teachers and pupils during this time. The members of the Pacemaker staff wish to thank Mr. Petersen for his guidance and counsel and ex- tend to him sincere wishes for continued success.

Mr. John Benn, our class advisor, has proven capable and understanding through- out our Junior year. On November 8th we held a Sadie Hawkins' Day Dance. Music was furnished by l-lickok's orchestra. Prizes went to Louise Webber and Gladys Legros tor the best Daisy Mae, while Steven Elliott won first prize for Li'l Abner. There was an ample supply of food tor everyone. Many attended and ioined in both round and square dancing. ln the early part ot December our class undertook the selling of Christmas cards and wrapping paper, which proved a big success. Two teams were organized, com- peting against each other tor the most sales. The losing team furnished refreshments for our Christmas party. On March 22nd a class party took place at the residence ot Janet Faulkner. Plenty ot good tood and music were provided. In September we lost Barbara Marsh, Lois Littlefield and Henry Gervaise. Don Williams furnished a welcome addition to our class with Barbara Marsh reioining us early in March, making a total ot 28. The Junior Prom closed the year's activities on June 6th, from 8:30 to l2:3O, with music by the Stardusters. This dance was put on in honor ot the class ot '47. We are building up the treasury to enable the class to take a trip to Washington. We hope to carry on the activities of the present Senior class with as much initiative as they have shown the past year. 4. r. ff l . 1 A F . 5 K . L., r , s i i V N I F I r V I L l k , .

' This year the Chorus carried on under the direction ot Miss Corinne Gast. We sang at the Armistice Day service and tor the Christmas operetta. On May 7th we participated in the Spring Concert which was very successful. Although we went to the Fredonia Festival on Friday, May 9th, we not compete for a rating. We are not singing at Commencement this year, but the Senior members of our group are expecting to Take our place. . 1947 THE PACEMAK Piccolo Basses Saxophones THE PACEMAKER 1947 MCS BAND This year's achievements are ones of which the band may be proud. The band members came to their places after the summer vacation under the guidance of a new director, Mr. Fordyce M. Fox. Some chairs were vacated by Seniors of '46, as well as other former members. However, they were soon occupied by younger instrumental students who raised the personnel beyond capacity of uniforms. We opened the season by playing at football games. As usual, we were called upon to aid in the Union Armistice Service sponsored by the local American Legion. November's other feature was the Thanksgiving assembly for which several numbers were presented. When Christmas rolled around we appeared in full battle dress to delight, or at least we hope, all the student body, parents and faculty. Our basketball Eagles made a grand entrance to the beat of the bass drum. A pep band was formed, which gave a drill for the game between Mayville and our rival, Chautauqua. v ' A concert featuring varied musical talent from many people of the community to raise funds for the March of Dimes campaign, called upon us once more. Through the year, hopeful anticipation --Fredonia Festival and the good ratings we hoped to obtain - was uppermost in our minds. Before our iourney, the ensembles, soloists and entire groups of Band and Chorus scheduled our annual Spring Concert. The rest of the year was composed mainly of the traditional program-short selections for commencement exercises, and marching on Memorial Day and the Fourth of July. Thus ends one of the most successful and interesting terms in many years.

Last September the Student Council was organized for the first time in our school. lts primary purpose is to better the school by promoting closer co-operation with the faculty and to put into effect good suggestions made by the students. The Student Council consists of two representatives from grades 7 through l2, with Mr. Petersen as advisor. At the election of officers, Rod Ross was elected president and Lois Chapman, secretary. An assembly committee was appointed consisting of Betty Waterman, Melissa Hartmann and Dick Galloway. These three, with the help of two faculty advisors worked up a program of assemblies for the entire school year. A committee also is working on the question of athletic awards. They will discuss the requirements neces- sary for a student to earn a letter. Up to now there has been no set rules governing this situation. It is hoped that the Student Council will become a necessary and important part of our school life. 1 l 1947 THE PACEMAKER SAFETY PATROL FIRST ROW-fleft to right?-Dan Barkman, Thomas Parker, Keith Rothwell, William Moss, Gene Balcom, David Smith, Emerson Chandler, Eugene Shepard, William Chamberlain, Richard Drake.

At present the officers are as follows: The captain is Edwin Swan, first lieutenants, Danny Barkman and Frank l-ienshaw, second Iieutenants, Richard Toner and Bruce Ames. A patrol boy's duty is to protect the children as they come and go from school. They are not permitted to direct the trafic. Patrol boys have helped in many ways throughout America. Our school has had a few incidents that have proven the work worth while here. Each MCS school bus has a patrol boy on it. He aids in loading and unloading the bus along the route.

Last year's second-stringers who helped to make up this year's varsity were Joe Kling, Edi' Seaton, Richard Thomas, Rod Ross, Charlie Galloway, Roger Rothwell, and Tickle Jacobson. The squad was bolstered by Don Williams, who played for Cassadaga Valley last year. Joe Kling led the team in scoring with 184 points. Bob Young was second with 148, and 'KHowie Galloway third with 127. The team came in second in the Western League and won the B title in the loop by defeating Lakewood at Jamestown, 25 to 14, on March 6.

The 1946 baseball team was undoubtedly among the best ever to carry the banner of Mayville Central School. Our Mayville nine came up with a record of 11 wins and three losses. On the last week of the season the team played three games. On Mon- day we beat Sherman 10-5 and on Wednesday we beat Brocton 5-4 in the Class B semi-finals at Westfield. At Chautauqua on Friday, Lakewood bested us 5-1 to win the Class B county championship. It is highly probable that if Bob Young had not had to pitch in every one of these games, we might have won the championship. This year the team will be under the direction of Coach Kenneth Vance. The lettermen on the 1946 team who probably will be back are: Bob Young, pitcher, Elliott Long, third base, Howard Galloway, outfieldg Roderic Ross, outfield, and Richard Thomas, outfield.

However, several unexpected things turned up and Mayville had a mediocre team. The only experienced men were: Bill Hansen, with three years of service and captain of this past year's team, and Paul Kling, center of last year's squad. Although our 1946 team was not too successful, we are looking forward to this year's team, when eight lettermen will be back with a wealth .of experience. The boys receiving letters were: Paul Kling, Bill Hansen, captain, Richard Thomas, Jim Hansen, Bud Robbins, Ray Munson, Gordon Jacobson, Rod Ross, Alan Stanford and Fred Hartmann. Others on the squad were: Roger Rothwell, Oak Norton, Monte Casselman, Keith Ross, Bob Pickard, Chuck Quick, Dave Hansen and 'tPhil Young. Scores: 12 MCS, here .........
