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.

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.

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.
