The colors chosen were Orange and Black, to which the class has still clung. rl his year our modesty and intelligence were quite remarkable, hut since then I have heard it said that there was “a sad change indeed.” FRESHMEN. Alice Palmer was our first president. However, she left us and Mynderse, and in the same year went Marion Porter and Janet Gordon. But their class has not forgotten them, even tho’ they did not stay to help win out Caesar's battles. SOPHOMORES. Our Sophomore president was Edgar Haines. In later years, when someone points out Judge Haines, we will remember our former classmate, whose zeal so inspired 11s in ’o6-’o7. This year we lost Delta and Gertrude Newell, who have become Mrs.es; vet we hope they have not forgotten their old schoolmates because of family cares. At this time also we were joined by Ethel. Halliday and Homer Mac Bain, who entered right roya'ly into the class spirit. Most of our dances were given when we were Sophs, even tho’ many of us weren’t an_v too well versed in the art. JUNIORS. In our Junior year, under President John Garlinger, were enlisted Emily Clary, Paul Crosby, Clair Emeus and Ulrich Zeluff. Our first dance was at Hallowe’en, and our decorations were truly surpassing, the boys even fetching corn stalks and Jack O’Lanterns. The Arbor Day Contention was quite exciting, altho’ some of the boys declared that ‘‘sleeping on blinds or under the bell to keep out those smart Seniors wasn’t very exciting.” Our Junior-Senior Reception in the evening, however, was quite a success, and the hole in our flag didn’t show at all ! The'class speakers chosen for the June contest were:—Alice Farron, Marguerite Somers, Madeline Maurer, Helen Martin, Chas. Hurley, Edgar Haines, Stuart MacDonald, and Homer Mac Bain. At this time Stella Poorman left us, and tho’ we miss her helpful presence, we wish her all happiness in her future life. SENIORS. Our Senior year opened with Paul Crosby as president; but, as 9 the strain was too much, lie honorably resigned, and Chas. Hurley, the vice-president, took the chair. Our Junior president left us and went to Elmira, entering the high school there; Ethel Halliday entered Oswego Business School; Louise Woodwoith moved to Auburn ; Alice Jacoby left on account of ill-health ; Clair Emens went to Poughkeepsie; Anna Reilly left for the Junior class. But we were glad to welcome Ethel Frank, from Newark Valley, N. Y., and with her we have ten boys and ten girls. In the tall we chose our pins. Miss Weatherlow and Miss Woodward gave a class reception, which was soon followed by one at Miss Daniels’, and another by the Senior class tor the faculty. At all of these everyone made the best ot each hour and enjoyed themselves immensely. On Arbor Day the ’09’s dag went up, even though the Juniors were strongly opposed to the measure. On the same day we planted an elm tree to our principal, Miss Weatherlow', and in the same evening attended a super-tine reception given by the Juniors. On May fourteenth we gave a successful comedy, “A Scrap of Paper” in Mynderse Assembly Hall. Our valedictorian is Homer Mac Bain ; salutatorian, Madeline Maurer. The other honorary Commencement Speakers are ;—Mary Niles, Marguerite Somers, Lillian Henion, Stuart Mac Donald, Edgar Haines and Allen Waller. The Class Day speakers are;—Ethel Frank, Alice Farron, Emily Clary, Susan Seymour, Mabel Long, Helen Martin, Ulrich Zeluff, Paul Crosby, Stuart Woodward, Harry Allman, Charles Hurley and Romeyn Utley. May these twenty illustrious members always take a cheerful and happy view taking the true road t all success of life, and follow the Senior motto, “Live pure, speak true, right the wrong.” -------, ’09. The Senior Class Members as Others See Them. Alice Farron. Alice was ever bright and industrious; a model of excellence. Perhaps this is due to her applying her well-remembered English quotations. She is ambitious to an unusual degree, and already her career is dimly outlined in the future. That not least of all arts—teaching—seems to her vision to represent the “summum bonum.” Romeyn Utley. “Professor;” a shining light in physics; an encylopedia in Ancient History, in fact, a source of information on all subjects. We hope that “Professor” may be as well informed on all subjects in the future as he is at present. We trust a post graduate course will add to his knowledge. The Seniors were glad that he did not take the measles, although he was exposed to them at the “Hall.”. Susan Seymour. “Sue” was a former student of Rumsey Hall, but joined our ranks in the Sophomore year. She is ever jolly and pleasant. During our Senior year “Sue” has acquired the habit of looking over on the north side of the study hall. Although Susan has not yet stated her intentions, we feel confident that she will devote her energies toward forwarding the work of the “co-ed” schools. Chari.es Hurley. “Chuck” is the president of our Senior year. The Seniors have held very business-like class meetings under his direction. Our class feels honored in having a president who can “skip” Ancient History and Physical Geography classes tor two weeks before the play, and still pass the regents. Although his future plans are still unknown, the best wishes of the class go with our president. Emily Clary. One of our most studious and diligent pupils ; never known to “play” in school hours. She was obliged to leave school for a time on account of illness, but she made up for this the next year. Emily hopes to take up a Business Course, and we all wish her success. II IIomer MacBain. Our valedictorian, Homer R. MacBain, is one of the prominent members of our class. I have often heard the remark, “Well, if Homer doesn’t know there is no use of my guessing.” lie carries off many honors and our class feels proud to have among our number the one who composed our Mynderse song. Whatever may be the environments of his future years, he need not Third Ward School. fear the rocky paths by which some are entrapped, for success is sure to crown the career of so noble a youth. Madeline Maurer. The salutatorian of our class received her early education in Rochester. Later she came to this village, and when she entered the Academic department, joined one of the best classes that ever graduated from Mynderse. She was very impulsive, and when she decided to wear her hair “done up,” could not wait for the noon hour, but did it immediately. 12 At Mt. Holyoke and as a Latin teacher, the class of ’09 wish her a prosperous career. Ulrich Zeluff. A prominent member of the Athletic Association, and a member of the Basket Ball team. After acquiring his education in Mynderse he is still possessed with a desire to further his knowledge. We are not certain as to what he expects to devote his talents, time only will solve the problem, but we, his friends and schoolmates, wish him success far beyond his most sanguine expectations. Helen Martin. Among our number is Helen, always jolly and gay. She has devoted much time to Latin and German. We are glad to have her a member of our class, but what a fine time she might have had in the’o7or’ir class. For some time the members of the Senior Class have feared that she might go on the stage. We are much pleased to hear that she has given that up and decided to take up music at Syracuse University. Paul Crosby. Fortunate are we in having among our number one who is always ready for a good time. “Doc” was ever a great inventor. He could always find some way to send a note across the room to the girls, even when the teacher was watching. The class of ’09 hope that he may never cease inventing and may become a second Thomas Edison, even though his inventions are along a different line. Lillian Henion. Prominent among our class both for jollity and sense of humor is Lillian D. Henion. Why are the pupils so late in dismissal from the study hall? Because Lillian has to stop and look in the mirror. This winter she has been practicing Domestic Science. She says that she will teach next year, but does that look so? Perhaps she will take a school in Geneva, but we hope the pupils will not have to tell her the time. Success is most affectionately wished her by her many friends and classmates. Allen Waller. One of our youngest members and one of the most studious( ?) Some believe he is rather bashful, but others say they knozv he is not. Allen never gave much time to Athletics. Latin and History afforded him more pleasure. His plans for the future are not known, but whatever they may be, we all join in wishing him the best of success. 13 Ethel Frank. Ethel has been with us only one year; but within that short time, she has won the affection of all her classmates. She was formerly a student in Newark Valley High School. Among our number is one vegetarian, but Ethel is not the one. She is fond of all kinds of meat, particularly Viel(e). Next year she will be back at old Mynderse for a post graduate course. The class of ’09 join in wishing her a brilliant future. Edgar Haines. The editor of our school paper, and a very popular young gentleman both in Seneca Falls and Waterloo. When asked to describe the kingdom of the “Franks” in Ancient History, he turned red, laughed and sat down. Now, why did he do this? He oughtn’t (Auten). Whatever paths to fame and fortune he decides to follow, the best wishes of the Senior class go with him. Mary Niles. Mary was ever industrious and studious. Much of her time was spent in study, and fine standings in the regents are the results. Still she was not all work and no play, for she remembered that “All work and no play, Would make Mary a dull girl.” She leaves many friends among the students besides her classmates. Every member of the class joins in wishing her a successful career as a school-marm. Harry Allman. Did you ever see Harry without his books? None of the Seniors ever did. Being rather serious minded and realizing what a splendid chance he had to acquire an education, he applied himself with diligence to his studies. We predict a brilliant future as a prominent lawyer, for him. Perhaps the other boys of the class will get him to plead their “cases.” Marguerite Somers. She always knew her lessons, yet she was always ready for a good time. “Pauline” thought the library a good place to practice the love scene in the class play, as she said she was not well versed in such matters. She was a member of the staff of “School Days,’’ and did some very good work for the paper. Whether she will take a Business Course or continue her study of music, she is still undecided; but we know she will accomplish anything she undertakes. Fourth Ward School. Since she succeeds so well in directing the younger scholars, we believe the reason is this: She herself is so versed in little strategems that the pupils are soon found out. She says she wishes to take up Domestic Science, in which we wish her success. And so we say: May thine efforts be rewarded, And happy may thou be, With him, for whom thy future Pies and cakes and bread shall be. 14 Stuart MacDonald. He always has a smile, and frequently' something broader. He pursued his studies with great diligence, especially along the lines of science and language. Success is wished him by his many friends and classmates, both at St. John’s, and later at West Point. Mabel Long. Mabel has not always been with Old Mynderse, as she came here from Geneva. However, her helpful physics examples and jolly company, combined to make her a friend of all her class. T5 Stuart Woodward. Stuart, the star runner of the Senior class, and also of Mvn-derse Academy. We shall be prepared at any time to hear that he has run around the world in a few minutes. He is so studious of late that his friends fear he will be ill, but he assures them that he will be cautious. Nevertheless, his busy streak is frequently interrupted. As to his future, he is a little undecided, but we think the Senior class should have at least one preacher. Senior Roll Call.

One more year has passed in the history of Mynderse Academy and one more class leaves that noted institution of learning. As they leave, some to commence work at once, others to obtain a higher education in college or university, a gloom falls over the school rooms and those whom they leave behind realize that the ones who have made Mynderse such a jolly place will he there no more. But they go forth with the best wishes, of their school mates and THE STAFF Top Row—Stuart MacDonald, Lina Kellogg, George Randall, Mabel Long, Stuart Woodward, Rockwell Kenyon, Devillo Pollard.

Their records, both individually and as a class have been excellent, shown both by the school records and the records in the regents department at Albany. It is unnecessary to quote all the individual achievements which have been successfully carried out by members of the class in school, i8 social, and athletic circles, as they are known to all, and will remain in the school records as everlasting monuments to their originators. It is now the duty of the classes coming on to follow in the steps of their learned predecessors and try to obtain the same high standard of excellency. Exchanges. The “Blue and White” wishes to acknowledge the following exchanges: “The Academy” (Owego, N. Y.,) “The Congress’’ (Olean, N. Y.,) “The Sunnyside” (Washington Irving High School, Tarrytown,) “The Iliad” (Troy, N. Y.,) “The Water Wheel” (Warwick, N. Y.,) “The High School News” (Geneva, N. Y.,) “Apokeepsian” (Poughkeepsie, N. Y.,) “Vindex” (Elmira, N. Y.,) “The Tatler” (Waterloo, N. Y.,) “The Pennsylvania Yankee” (Penn Yan, N. Y.,) “Recorder” (Syracuse, N. Y.,) “Orange Daily” (Syracuse, N. Y.,) “Wind Mill” (Hudson, N. Y.,) “Rumsey Hall Echo” (Cornwall, Conn.,) “The Onondagan” (Onondaga Valley, N. Y.,) “The Red and White,” “The Oracle” (Watkins High School.,) “The Tuskegee Student” (Tuskeegee, Ala ,) “Picayune” (Batavia High School.) “High School News” (Geneva, N. Y.) Have you no other class except the Juniors? This seems to be the onty class that appears in your April issue. “The Wind Mill” (Hudson, N. Y.,) You should have more exchanges in your column. The March number of the “Water Wheel” was particularly good. “The S. H. S. Recorder” has a fine exchange column. “The Pennsylvania Yankee” is a good little paper, but if some of the paper from the cover of the March issue had been used in story writing, it would be much neater. “The Tattler” is always welcome. “The Apokeepsian” shows good work on the part of the staff. Athletic notes takes up a good share of the “Iliad.” “The Sunnyside” is always a cheery visitor. “Congress” must have some poets on the staff'. “The Academy” has some good material. We are always glad to see the “Rumsey Hall Echo.” The “Tuskeegee Student” has some solid reading. “The Red and White7 does not come very often. — Commencement 1909—-Programme.

I The Freshman satin the school room, Quite silent and quite green, And these thoughts stole into his small heart. And he dream't a pleasant dream. II He had all his subjects gotten thru’, Yes, an honor in each one ; And mighty little he did not know Of the earth, of the stars, of the sun. hi He was now a great electrician At the head of a large, large shop ; And he rode to work each morning, In his auto with plush-covered top. IV Ilis home o’erlooked the city, And his friends were millionaires, And he alway spent his spare time At eating candied pears. 20 V lie had servants by the score, Yes, a number under sway ; John D. and a whole lot more, Whom he hired in a business way. VI At night he went to the opera To see Maude Adams, so fine. And on Sunday, to the Cathedral To hear the great divine. VII His wife was very beautiful, Yes a very beautiful maid, The belle of the whole four hundred, Or, at least, that’s what they said. VIII But the Freshman got no further, In his dream of happiness, For the teacher whacked him on the head, And his dream came just to this : o—o—o—o—o—o ! Nonsense (No Sense.) Freddie was an inventor, with an Edison brow, a mechanic with a Wilbur Wright aeroplane curl in front, and besides all that mama’s boy. And so it was when Uncle Will struck a stone with his bicycle and managed, by good luck, to double it all up and break the frame in two pieces, that it fell at once into Freddie’s hands. Mama didn’t know just how it would end, but papa fully expected to see Freddie come sailing out of his work-shop some day in a big six-cylinder, double-geared touring car, rigged fore and aft with double-jointed sparking plugs along the handle bars. But with Frederick Zeppylin Wilbur Wright Edison Smith it was different. Added to the Edison canned music forehead and the seventeen hour endurance lest curl he was gifted with a practical turn of mind. He might easily have made a rival Lusitania run by a triple turbine, muffled exhaust side wheel which would have smashed all previous sea skimming records or done Uncle Sam good service with a double acfion, hammerless, take down Panama canal excavator with chisel chinned detachable carborundum carburetor. But Freddie wanted a bicycle and wanted one bad. Freddie carefully examined the wrecked wheel and found that he could easily fix it. First the child wonder in the big tent cut right and left threads on the disjointed members and then drew them up tight with a couple of unions and behold, with a touch here and a kink taken out there, the wheel was like a factory-to-home Simon-pure product, strong, wholesome, and good to look upon. Mounting the wheel young Surefoot touched a button at his left and with the help of his invisible, self-oiling, patent-applied-for, spring hinge, the doors swung open and McCormick No. 2 trium-phantl}’ peddled down the driveway. Was it fate that tempted Freddie, our Freddie, the beloved Freddie, mama’s Freddie to attempt the descent of the long hill? The hill was steep and soon the benefactor of the human race found that his wheel needed no urging and as the pace steadily increased, he longed for time to stop and throw together a little hand}-sized, vest pocket speedometer, but he couldn’t stop just now, to all appearances he was busy, very occupied in fact. And then shall we lay this to fate also, the threads decided to 22 strip. After Freddie got out of the hospital he found that he really was cut out tor janitor-work and so the people of this poor unfortunate old world are still working with primitive methods while mama’s boy’s workshop displays a “To Rent” sign and our McCormick reaper and self adjustable binder No. 2 is daily dusting Brook’s and Snook’s office furniture. VV. S. W., ’12. The Story of a Triplet. The Stone girls were, by all odds, the most interesting pupils in Sommerville High School, and the interest was due to the fact that the girls were triplets. In naming the children Mrs. Stone felt it to be her duty to give them the same name with variations. Consequently, one triplet became Adelaide Rogers Stone, another Adeline Rogers Stone and the third, unfortunate, became Adalette Rogers Stone. PRIZE SPEAKERS FOR '09. Top Row—Glen Higgins, A mi yew Young, Ward Davis, Karl Thompson. Bottom Row—Prances Usher, Ruth Allman, Julia O'Brien, Anna Casey. The mother was proud of the name of Adalette, but the bearer hated it from the bottom of her rebellious soul. As also she hated the idea of being a third of a gill, and was frankly disgusted with the triangular state of affairs. The girls were to graduate in June, and it occurred to Miss Warren, who was arranging the program for Commencement Exercises, that a trio called “The Three Lovely Maidens” by the triplets would be very pleasing. The idea was very distasteful to poor Adalette, but the other two girls were delighted. M One night, just a few weeks before graduation Adalette was seized with an inspiration. She crept stealthily out of bed, found her pocketbook and counted the contents. She then made her way to the spare room across the hall, which was furnished in pink. She turned down the white counterpane that covered the bed, disclosing a pink and white striped quilt of exceedingly dainty pattern. Satisfied with her visit, she crept back to bed, and for many days after she visited the spare room during her free time, so that her sisters remarked that she must be studying very hard. Commencement night arrived. Three white dresses made just alike were laid upon the bed, and the girls were flying about in an excited manner. “It’s pretty warm inhere; if you don’t mind I'll take possession of the spare room, and as I have an errand to do I may start before you girls,” said Adelette. There were thirty-two graduates, of whom all but six were girls. Mrs. Stone, in the audience, tried to distinguish her white-robed triplets, but only two auburn heads could be seen. Adalette’s essay was the fourth number on the program, and as her name was called Mrs. Stone looked expectantly at her two visible daughters, wondering where the third one could be. Neither of the two girls stirred, but a strange girl at the end of the row stepped forth. She was dressed in a crown of pink and white and her hair and eyebrows were black as midnight. Mrs. Stone was startled, and she exclaimed half aloud, “What has become of Adalette?” But, hark! that was Adalette’s voice and surely her essay. “As I live, that’s Adalette in my spare room bedquilt, and she has colored her hair,” whispered Mrs. Stone, who was too amazed to be angry. Soon came the trio, and as the three girls arose to sing, for once the teachers and principals knew which of the triplets was Adalette. J. B., ’ii. Poor Mynderse. I'm going to begin by just saying, “Mynderse, you ought to be pitied.” “First, there’s that Senior class, and if we give them their due there won’t need to be a second reason. They’re the most conceited bunch. I remember coming to school one day, and when I reached the depot I heard the most hollow sound ever, and I kept on hearing it till I traced it to the big room, and there sat that dear Paul Crosby tapping his forehead with his forefinger. Just think of it. Another lime 1 ran across Utley on the campus. He was deep in thought, or maybe he was as far gone as meditation; but I’m not sure about that. Anyway, he claimed that anyone to be cool on summer nights should sleep with more covers on. He said that one night the heat of his body was 729 degrees Fahrenheit while the air was in the region of 999 degrees above zero in the shade. By covering up well he was able, he said, to keep 270 degrees cooler than the air. Haines came near having them all stopped though. I saw him on “the morning after” with cracked ice on his head. In a little while he put his hand up to readjust it; but the ice had all melted. “Gosh,” he said, “that stuff isn’t what it was cracked up to be.” Then, there’s Zelubner. He’s the fellow that won the Clyde— Mynderse foot ball game and succeeded in tying the Phelps-Myn-derse base ball game score—or that is, succeeded in letting Phelps tie knots all around us to the tune of 22 to 2 in their favor. I know he didn't play, but just the same, he didn’t stop them. McBaineo can go this year without a tear. We would have hated to see him go only he got brilliant once and did fairly well with an essay on the Lagerfalls-Senecaloo basket ball game. In fact, all the credit belongs to Homer for breaking Jeany’s heart. Speaking of hearts, that reminds me. Hurley was passing the cigars around with his usual generosity or, rather say, unusual generosity, when one of those tine-looking, high-stepping Waterloo girls went by, “Gee, fellows, there’s a girl after my own heart,” he said. Then he put on that blue hat, the one with the audible band, and added as he went out the door, “Or, rather, I’m after her own heart.” He came back pretty soon and said sadly enough, “I picked a 26 lemon in the garden ot love where they say naught but peaches grow. MacDonald would be a good sort of a chap if he would only let Sherman alone; but he won’t. He’s a Senior, too, you see. And Harry Allman, better known as “ Hallelujah Jones,” tried to tell the other day that the only reason that the boys of Mynderse are so narrow-minded is because they sleep on their sides and not on their backs. He says it gives the mind a tendency to elongate and no chance to broaden. Now, I’m a boy. Boys will be boys, but they don’t have to be like those Senior hoys, and since I don’t want to he like them, I’m going to let the Senior girls off this time : but it anybody thinks one reason isn't enough for Mynderse being pitied, I’ll spring those girls for the second.

Although Mynderse had no regular foot ball team in the field this season, a team composed of a number of high school students and a few boys outside was organized under the name ot the Myn-derse Independents. Several games were played in town and out with high school and independent teams. The games at home OFFICERS OF MYNDERSE A TIILETIC ASSOC I A TION.

Four games were won, one tied and live lost Owing to the lack of a coach the team was unable to do its best, but next year it is hoped that a regular high school team will be organized, and a coach provided to train the members. Nothing could prove of more interest to students than a winning football team, and “The Blue and White” wishes next year’s team a most successful season. 29 The following scores were made by the teams : Mynderse Independents o Geneva 6 Mynderse Independents 5 Clyde 5 My nderse Independents 12 3d Ward o Mynderse Independents o Ovid 23 MYNDERSE IN DEPENDENTS-FOOT BALL TEAM.

Here was met the champion Sky Scrapers in a fast and rather rough game Owing to the lack of good team work on the part of our boys and the much greater weight of their opponents, the game was won by the Sky Scrapers, the result at no time being in doubt. Mynderse Academy, 68. C. R. 11. The next game was played on the home court with the C. R. Class of the Methodist church. The C. R. boys were unable to keep up with the fast work of our team and went to defeat to the tune of 68 to 11. Mynderse A. 48. Waterloo II. S. 15. The opening game of the season, at home, was played November the twenty-fifth, with the Waterloo High School five The visitors brought with them a large bunch of rooters, and nearly everv student in the Academy was present, enthused by the large mass meeting held in the afternoon. The largest crowd ever before at one of our basket ball games filled old Union Ha l, and her old timbers shook as cheers and songs rose from the supporters of the two teams. The game was a good one and the Waterloo boys struggled hard for victory, but our team was too fast for them and easily rolled up 48 points to their 14. Mynderse A. 23. Palmyra H. S. 45. December the fifth the team journeyed to Palmyra, and in the afternoon met the High School five in the school gymnasium. Owing to the small court and the number of pipes, etc., which formed a net work in the upper part of the gym., our team was uir able to get in any effective team work or to locate the baskets. The game ended in a victory for the Palmyra boys, which they had to fight hard to get. Mynderse A. 28. Auburn Y. M. C. A. 34. The following game was played at home, December the eleventh, with the Auburn Y. M. C. A. team. The Auburnians had 3i a good reputation as crack basket ball players, and did not have much trouble in defeating our team. The work of our team was good, and they rarely missed a basket, but were kept too well guarded to get many shots from the field. BASKET BALL TEAM. Top Row—Edgar Haines, Mgr., Maynard Burbridge, Cap ., Howard Mag ill, I rich Zelnff. Bottom How—Paul Crosby, Prof. F. J. Medden, Claude Butts. Mynderse A. n. Five A’s 33. The next Friday night the team went to Auburn and played the Five A’s, another Y. M. C. A. team with a good record. Our team was greatly out-weighed, looking like pigmies by the side of the big Auburn team. Crosby’s good shooting won all our points, the members of the team having hard work to locate the baskets. The 32 Five A’s won out by a large score, they having no trouble in putting the ball, in the right place. My nderse A. 20. Geneva II. S. 26. Before a large crowd our team lost to Geneva High School in a hard luck game. Our boys started out in fine form, making several baskets and doing some fine team work. However, they were unable to keep up the pace and at last Geneva caught up with them. Then the battle became very exciting, each team forging ahead and then falling back until at last Geneva won out. The game was a good one and the boys deserved much credit for holding the Geneva team down at all as they were a very fast bunch. Base Ball. Officers. Glen Higgins, Manager, Eliot Kibbey, Captain. • This season the base ball team has made a record which Mynderse should be proud of. At present, out of seven games played, but two have been lost, one to the Phelps town team and another to the Tigers. The remaining live were with schools and were won MYNDERSE ACADEMY CHAMPION BASE BALL TEAM. Top Roiv—Hemy Casey, Paul Crosby, Howard. Magill, Charles Boardman, Rockwell Kenyon, Edward Scannel.

Excellent fielding, combined with the timely hitting, has pulled the team out of several bad places and turned threatened defeat into victory. The attendance at all games has been good and the cheering has never waned. As the season draws to a close and this team prepares to disband, let us show our appreciation of their good work and the credit they have brought to Mynderse by letting 34 the players know what honor is their due. Shall we have as good a team next year? Following are the games played and the scores : Mynderse Academy 2 Phelps Town Team 2 t at Phelps Mynderse Academy 3 Alumni 2 at Seneca Falls Mynderse Academy 6 Oakwood Seminary o at Union Springs Mynderse Academy 7 Phelps High School 6 at Seneca Falls Mynderse Academy 9 Waterloo 11.

Owing to the lack of a trainer, the boys were unable to do their best and only a lew represented the Academy at the interscholastic meet, held in Auburn the twenty-ninth of May. The only points won were those taken bv second place in the relay race. This was run by Robinson, Woodward, Winters and Russell, who made it in good time, defeating Cascadilla and coming in but a short distance behind Auburn. The Baron. It was in 1917. A trim young woman, slim and dark, was going along New York’s Broadway. Suddenly she heard an excited voice calling in a low tone, “Pauline! Pauline!” She turned quickly and with a surprised smile, exclaimed to a tall young fellow behind her, “Baron de la Glaciere! How do you do?’’ At that instant a robust woman passing by, glanced eagerly at the two speakers and nodded smilingly to the lady. Alter the stranger had gone by Pauline and her companion FOUNDERS OF SCHOOL DA VS. Charles F Hurley, Homer R. MacBain, Edgar L. Haines. walked on, questioning each other eagerly of the years since they had lett the old graduating class at Mynderse. In the midst of their conversation she stopped. “Now, Ulrich, I want you to help me carry out a plan. You saw that big woman who passed us as you came up. By her look I know she heard me call you ‘Baron.’ She has a daughter, young, intelligent and pretty (unlike her mother), whom the latter is determined shall marry a title. I’ll introduce you to these two and if you are the same as in former years, you will enter into the fun and win Miss Riche's heart.” “Agreed, Marguerite. She won’t know I am Baron de la 36 Glaciere only in the minds of old Mynderse students who saw our class play. I’ll besiege Miss Riche’s heart and you can deliver my praises to her mother.” It was Christmas Eve at the Riche mansion. The beautiful conservatory with the sweet strains of a waltz floating among the sweet flowers and potted plants all tended to help on the “Baron’s” wooing. He had really grown to love the fair Miss Riche, and so now he determined to tell her the whole story, although he did not doubt that his hopes would be destroyed. In the corner by the sweet smelling violets he related it to her—how it had begun as a joke, finally growing into admiration and then love. Hardly glancing at her face the poor fellow started disconsolately toward the door. But a sweet voice called “Ulrich!” Brightening he turned, and as he looked, astonished, at the beloved face, he heard as if a voice were speaking to him from the spirit world. “I knew all along that you were Ulrich Zeluff, whom I once saw in ‘A Scrap of Paper’ at Seneca Fa'ls: an old schoolmate of yours told me. But, since you have confessed and as mother has lately proved our relationship with an Engli-h Earl Somebody, suppose we forget and induce mother to let us be happy for ever. And, oh ! did you know that Marguerite herself is engaged to be married to a Baron?” , ’09. Conservation---A Topic of the Times. Bv Edwin H. Silver, Professor of Subjective Optometry in the Rochester School of Optometry. tion of healthy bodies—healthy lungs, healthy teeth, and healthy eyes is an even more important matter than the conservation of our natural resources. It is for Doctors, Dentists and Optometrists to sound the cry, ‘ Conserve the Health of Our NationEach profession must sound the alarm to its particular clientele. The dentists are urging that all school children’s teeth should be examined, as a large per cent of them have poor teeth which renders it impossible to properly chew food. Poor mastication prevents proper digestion, allows fermentation, and other ills of body and mind are sure to follow. But it is not so much in the attitude of the Dentists as of Optometrists that we are interested. There is an awakening realization of the danger to Children's eyes that is encouraging. Schoolrooms are better lighted, school children’s eyes are being examined, and other precautions are being taken to guard the eyesight of the young. But in order that this forward movement maybe spread and extend its beneficial influence, both parent and teacher must do their part. The newspaper and magazines are full, nowadays, of conservation. They say, “Conserve the forests,” “Conserve the national beauties of our parks,” “Conserve our resources” and so on to the end of the list. Bot we do not hear much about conserving the health of the people. The welfare of the people who go to make up our nation should be an even more valuable consideration than the condition of our forests or our waterways. The moral and physical health of a nation shows the measure of its strength. Remember that the conserva- 38 Are the school children’s eyes in Seneca Falls examined at regular intervals? If not, they should be, and some influence ought to be brought to bear upon this important factor of school life. The eyes of children should be examined when they enter school for the first time. It is the duty of each parent to select a good optometrist or occulist, and cause records to be made yearly until the child has matured. If the above method was conscientiously carried out less people would be blind or suffer from eye strain. Optometrical records show many instances where dull and backward school children were elevated to the head of their class by the proper optical correction placed before their eyes. Another factor is the unconscious effect vision has in developing tendencies which influence the careers of each of us. A near sighted boy will usually take but little interest in atheletic sports, being contented with his books, while the reverse is true of the far-sighted boy who finds close application a bore. A movement is just as sorely needed for the protection and care of adults. Everyone young and old in town and in city is reading and writing more than ever before. What is more to the point, most of the reading and writing is done by electric or gas light. This is true especially of teachers, dressmakers, bookkeepers and countless factory employees whose work is hard on the eyes and who are compelled to work most of the time by artificial light. Conditions are continually developing which keep the modern optometrist on the alert. The many forms of new artificial lights rich in ultra-violet rays, the many new trades and professions, demand attentions peculiar to their own. Every phase of life is broadening rapidly so they are being divided and sub-divided into specialties. No man unaided can attain the results obtained by one who specialises. In conclusion would say. One of the peculiar characteristics of humanity is our dread of the new and untried. We call ourselves a progressive race yet we are ever looking backward with a longing and even with regret. Progress means change, and to cling to customs because they are old is to keep a lock on the door that leads to higher things The great and noble savage is a myth, he was narrow chested, undersized, his eyes were not “eyes like a hawk,” but trained to perceive things that would endanger his life ; his age rarely exceeded forty years, while now we exact under most trying 39 conditions, more from our eyes after we are more than three score years of age. Sanitary improvements, proper food and more temperate habits have added many years to the lives of the present generation, but with the advance of civilization some of our special senses have suffered, especially our sense of smell and hearing, due to close con-tinement and noise of street cars, machinery, etc., but our eyes have not only got to hold their own but serve us under circumstances which call forth all the art and intellect we possess. Other than by care and competent advice, what are we going to do to conserve our eyes? Mynderse School Song. Where the towers o’er the tree tops rise Dark against the eastern skies, There will cling old mem’ries dear, When we hear the good old cheer. Rah ! Rah ! Rah ! Chorus. The blue and white !

Bryant as an orator was always cold and stately. Lowell likened him to an ice berg. He died in 1878 from the effects of giving an address in the sun. Samuel Johnson in his youth obtained a very good education, but being rather reckless he lost the better part of it. Simile—Her voice is like Bidwell’s whistle ; it gets away with her, because she loses control over it. She was carried out and laid in a tomb by her ancestors. Colloquism is where everything is run- into one another, and where one thing runs into some other thing. Balanced sentence is a sentence stopping every now and then to explain the meaning. Colloquism is speaking plain English. When a man’s angry he speaks plain English. How to Have a Successful Life—The best way to have a life successful is to keep out of jail, and the best way to do that is to live in a country where there are no jails. Brook Farm was a collection of literary people who met on and oft'. They met to discuss subjects that no one but themselves could understand. They wrote, taught and cultivated the soil. Their building took fire and so they dissolved. The feminine of sultan is saltine ; of hero, shero; of lie-goat, any-goat or dam sheep; of bull.

One day as she was going thru’ the hospital, she saw an old man lying on a bed and she saw it was Gabriel. 41 “Why Gabriel!” she exclaimed, “how earnest thou when I’ve been looking all over for you?” Then Gabriel turned over on his pillow, opened his mouth and looked at her. “Don’t blame it on to me, Evangeline,” he said and passed away.

The regents’ examinations this June were exceptionally hard. A few societies in Mynderse Academy would liven things up a bit. Why not organize one or more next term ? The Senior class defeated the Juniors in the flag scrap, but the Juniors took the defeat in good humor and that night gave the seniors a reception that eclipsed all former ones in every respect. Every organization in school has given a dancing party this year, and some more than one. This shows a little school spirit.

As Charles Hurley was walking through the park the other day, reading a very interesting letter, the cannon was accidentally discharged, the ball hitting him. When asked later how it happened he was not killed, he replied that he was not there, but in Pennsylvania. It was nearly time for the last car to leave Geneva for Seneca Falls, and Lillian had to catch it. As she came down Seneca street she asked how long before the car left for the east. Looking at the town clock, the man said, “You have twenty minutes to wait ” Lillian went into Weld’s drug store. For thirty minutes she sat watching the clock, wondering how long twenty minutes were. When the closing lime came she was told by the clerk that the last car had gone. “Gone, exclaimed Lillian, “I thought I had twenty minutes to wait.” “Twent}’ minutes! Why you have been watching that clock for thirty minutes already. Can’t you tell time?” “No sir, I can't,” she replied, with a sheepish look. “Twelve—thirty,” said Edgar one Saturday night. “No way to get home but to walk. Well, I guess I’ll get there by morning.” For a short distance he hurried along, thinking of the long, dark road he had to travel. Gradually his steps grew slower and his brain more active. Just as he was saying to himself, “Amid a shower of rice aud confetti we jumped on the train,” he heard a wagon coming up the road at full speed. “Hold on, there, where are you going?’’ “I am going to Waterloo,” replied the man. “What time is it?” asked Edgar, looking at his watch. “Ten o’clock ! Ten! Sunday morning. Well,” turning to the man, “Give me a ride back to Waterloo, will you? Then I’ll be sure and get there in time.” “Did you say you would go, Madeline?” “Say, Russell ! say, Russell ! called Stuart, “where did you get all that mud on the carriage ’’ “Mud? What mud? Looking at the carriage for the first time, he noticed it was covered with mud. “Guess it must have rained since we started.” (To the horse, “Go on.”) Last Friday, when Edgar fell off the recitation bench, we dis-coveted the reason was that he was asleep. Wonder if he went to Waterloo Thursday night? Grinds. Miss Woodward (in Science)—For the benefit of some of the physics class there will probably be another test Friday.

The two upper faces on the right, are alike except that the optometrist has fitted an eyeglass to the upper face that slightly pinches up the skin and fills the pronounced dent between forehead and nose. The two lower faces on the right are alike except the eyeglasses. The bottom face shows how a short nose can be exaggerated by the wrong shape of spring. The face above it shows how such a nose can be apparently lengthened and made more pleasing by a different shaped spring. These examples may suggest to yon the desirability of having your glasses designed especially for your face by an optometrist who gives especial study to the designing of glasses and who has the mechanical equipment as well as the practical experience to produce lenses and mountings to give the best optical results, be most comfortable and look best in your particular case. mm usiifEi OFT OflETlRlST.
