KNAPP Mr. JOHN C. BRACHT Mr. FRANK R. ZONA Class Poem Four years ago as Freshmen Four years ago we say We gazed at the Seniors, prim and sedate, Coveting glances were they! And wanted what couldn’t he ours, we feared Till some possible future day. For the course of a Senior is rocky and steep Now we are they, we know— There are heaps of things very much worse, Than missing a date to the show. For Seniors must always do their best. And never fall below. Lessons to pester us every day. Themes and essays to write Math., French, Latin do their best, To keep us up all night Books and teachers of different kinds All try to toss us light. Gifted, agreeable, fair and square Paragons of virtues we— Showered with talents priceless—rare Such should be our lottery And the cause of many regretful sights Is—just this—that it isn’t you see! Gay memories of those by-gone days When we longed to be Seniors in vain, Flock all around, as the year slips by, For we’re on a fairy train— Now we are Seniors prim and sedate, Do we want to be Freshmen—again? Life is a tempter and will lead us tar, As we slowly make our way. Our characters must be staunch and sure, So we can’t go far astray. For as Seniors we must catch the torch, And bear it on its way.

For four years, Helen has run a race with the tardy bell, and furnishes welcome diversion in the dull moments before work. She has a keen sense of humor, deep loyalty to the class, and many talents. But who ever thought Helen would take up poetry? Lennius Burrell “Bud Since “Bud” entered our fold in sophomore year, he has won a wide circle of friends, and has played a prominent part in school athletics. Lately he has appeared quite interested in garages and we wonder if he is going to model a new L. O. B. ster Six next year, or if there is some other reason for this interest. Though Bud” is quite a favorite with the ladies, he’s a man for a’ that.” Grace Bow ell “Bobby Next comes our travelled senior, who likes America best. Grace is the unquestioned champion in all debates carried on officially or otherwise. I f her opponents won’t listen to her speeches, she can sing them. Who can resist her siren—sweet voice? The class expects to hear great things of its musical member. Dora Clary Behold Dora, one of our most representative girls, -a student, an artist, an athlete,' and a wit. Perfect silence in the study hall, a stage whisper, and the room rocks with mirth. Why? Oh, just a bit of Dora’s humor has been broadcasted. Then that facile pen, those wicked cartoons, what they haven't done to promote the gayety of the class. We all wish Dora a short and easy road to success. Page 12 Mary Conboy “Ted” Here’s the reason why Herman is always to be seen heading for Conboy’s Shoe Store about ten o’clock every Saturday night. “Mary, Mary, quite contrary, “Why treat Herman so?’’ “The more you blow a flame,’’ she cries, “The longer life before it dies.’’ Ted’s sunny smile and buoyant good humor will make her a success wherever she goes. Elizabeth Dilmore “Liz” Next comes our Editor-in-Chief! Here’s our hearty thanks, “Liz’’ for your untiring efforts in making this book a success. We always wondered why “Liz” liked English class so well while we were studying Johnson, and now we know! She exclaims like Johnson, “If you calla dog “Hervey” I shall love him.” Harvey Dutcher “Dutch” Harvey is one reason why the football games were well attended by the girls last fall. Then too there is the glamor of the military. He is one of those patient souls who will attempt to explain “infiltraction” to a girl. Good luck Harvey! Jeanette Dutcher “Jinny” “Jinny” smiles serenely at the woes of the world. Nothing ever penetrates her calm except the lamentable actions of her teasing twin. Its amazing how “Jinny” can pull horse hairs across violin strings and make such beautiful music. Adios and good luck from ’25. Page 13 Barbara Follette “Bob Woe to man who crosses her path It’s either a kiss, a biff, or a laugh Oh that eye, that baby smile! The hearts she has broken would cover a mile. Fair of figure and fair of face We ne’er could describe her in limited space Ma rgaret Guion Peg Breathes there a girl with soul so dead Who never to herself hath said, “I’d give two bits for that blond head?’’ It would also be hard to find a boy in Mynderse who hasn’t succumbed to the charm of those blue eyes. Mary King We’re proud of Mary. What class wouldn’t be? She has been a shining example of a good student, and to say that '25 is glad of her success is expressing it mildly. Mary is a good listener and a ready comforter. She has always taken a lively interest in school affairs, and the least of her good qualities is her loyalty to the class and her many friends. Horace Knight “Beefy President Knight is our lightweight champion, a knockout among the fair sex of Mynderse. He does a great many other things well. He has the manner grand yet jovial whether he’s escorting a chaperon to a dance or his latest best girl Sh! we’re telling a secret, but he’s lost six pounds. Page 14 Herald Kuney “Punk” After ga ing upon this remarkable example of human intelligence, do you wonder that as a student “Punk” has made a splendid record in all high school subjects. Moreover, he is an all around good fellow who deserves the unlimited success we wish him. Mary Medden A dash, a gasp and a breathless, “I’m here, Miss O’Brien,” always marks Mary’s daily arrival. Mary is an unusual person, laughter-loving, vivacious and in short full of pep. She is also an all-around athlete. No gathering is complete without her, for gloom departs when buoyant Mary enters. She is a decided avorite and always has a smile for each friend. Eva Messer With curly hair and twinkling eyes Eve never lets a laugh go by! Long words are Eva’s specialty, Long word that end in X and osity In fact, she’s quite an English shark Not one of us comes near her mark! Helen Nearpass Four short years ago a shy blackhaired lass entered the class of 1925. Her manner has been well worth of praise, and she helped greatly to strengthen the senior claim to dignity until she developed chickenpox and disappointed us Good luck to you always, Helen. Page 15 Elizabeth Rolfe 44Betty An irresistible gigle— A pair of dancing feet— A sunny smile that’s mighty sweet That’s Betty. I-est you think her just a gay little butterfly, we must tell you the rest. She may be small, but she is a very formidable little executive on committees. Parties simply arc bound to be a success if our Betty is in charge. Dorthea Russell “Dot Dorthea is a joyous child. All her clouds have silver linings. But she isn’t a dreamer by any means. Consult the office for one of those model records everyone covets, but few attain. Surely the future spells success for Dorothea. Paul Simson “Sap have a heart. Miss O’Brien. All that?” Sometimes we wonder if Sap a heart himself. But we know one thing, he has a fence. Ask Paul about it. He is really gifted, possessing a unique personality. One might call him a conscientious objector. Here’s to your future success in Union. Herman Tennant “Snooku?ns 4 If a s(Jt answer turneth away wrath, Herman would fill the bill. This gentle spoken youth is anything but a total loss as a lady’s man. Page Mary, please! Then, too, he can play football, and as our president, brought us through our Junior year and the Prom with a very respectable bank balance, a rather note worthy achievement. Page 16 Grace Van Riper When Grace becomes a nurse, we anticipate wails of I don’t wanna get well” and “Tell the doctor I’m no better” from the convalescent among Grace’s patients “amants. We’re certain that her never-failing smile will cheer many a sad and weary soul as she has brightened the hearts of her fellow students who were sorrowing over flunks.” Rom ayne Vi (jars “Ronnie Ronnie believes in seeing America first, and heeding the advice, Young man, go West.” After trying California for a while, he came back East to finish high.” It’s not so surprising though when you consider his capacity for devotion to first loves. Doris Vosburgh “Dot” Our gentle bobbed haired Detroiter! It is rumored that Doris is seriously considering going into partnership with the Smith Brothers. We are sure such an arrangement will be an exceedingly successful one just because Doris is Doris. Eleanor Warren “Polly” Won’t Polly be a captivating nurse in snowy white? At the same time you may be sure she will be efficient. She is that sort of girl. All of our class successes owe something to Eleanor’s co-operation for she just oozes class spirit. Page 17 Charles Wessel “Chuck Who said innocence didn’t pay? There’s Chuck the little angel of the study halls who has made it an asset there, as well as in his lighter moments on the stage. Remember that plaintive, “Are there any men out there? We would hate to run against Chuck in a popularity contest. That’s the sort of popular person he is. Lester White This enterprising young man is one of the leading citizens of Magee, and incident!)’ as embryo political boss there. No writeup would be complete without reference to his taxi business, which is a rattling good one we understand. Some one said Lester was going in for teaching after college. We suggest lecturing because he likes to make speeches. Jane Wilson Jane is our business manager and star reporrer for the daily school news. ’25 wishes you every success in your future establishment, and promises to patronize your beauty remedies. It is clear to all that Maynard will be a great asset to the business. Page 8 The following students expect to join the Class of Nineteen Twenty-Five in June: Ella Bookman “Bookie This is Bookie the versatile. It makes no difference whether its athletics, refreshments, decorations, or poetry that demands talent. Bookie can furnish it. Dorothy Brown Dot “Dot” is a dainty little miss. Those brown orbs have set many a heart a-flutter and will probably continue to do so. Here’s a wish for her success from the many members of the Senior Class. William Dunham Bill Don’t overlook Bill, please. He’s the “representative boy,” the kind Booth Tarkington writes about. When Bill gets to heaven and sees Miss O’Brien through the golden gate, he’ll ask St. Peter if he may return for his English dictation, for Bill is a creature of habits—(Ask Bill). Cornelia Fegley Connie What’s the matter with Connie? She's all right. She’s one of the belles of the Senior Class and a friend of everyone in school. We wonder where Connie gets all her ideas for good times. She seems to be happiest when planning some revelry. Nineteen Twenty-five parts from her with regret, but with the best of wishes for her future success. Page 9 M argaret McCarthy “Marg We may describe Margaret as quite the airiest little lady the sun has ever shone on. Margaret likes the gay side of life. Not even Regents can dampen her enthusiasm for fun. We hope that her optimism will always be on hand, and that life will hold nothing but joy for her. Audria Patterson Audria lives on the other side of the great lake Cayuga. There has been only one draw back to her education at Myndersc- her train’s tendency to sloth and idleness. She could write a book on the joys of commuting, but she disclaims any literary intentions. She admits, however, that she may become a nurse. Rosetta Thomas “Roses “Roses” is her name, and a rose indeed she is, tall and slender, but with no prickly thorns. How we would miss her “Hello, you,” and the smile that accompanied it. Good luck to you, “Roses.” Our wish for you is that you’ll always be successful with the same ease that marked you as the invincible forward of 25’s team. Page 20 Class History Listen, my children, and you shall hear of a group of folk who, lar from celestial in thought or inclination, entered the sacred precincts of Mynderse .Academy in the year 1921. They came as Freshmen, and they rejoiced that this was so. Ah, many years remained for untold acts of joyous expression, not repression. Why repress? Let pandemonium reign! But there must be a king in this jolly little kingdom. So they cast about for one, and found him. They installed Herman Tennant upon a regal throne. His subjects cast dust into their eyes, the dust of happiness. They danced, sang, and laughed the joyous hours away. Study ? 11 did not come in the regular schedule of life, only in the school schedule, and what was that!—Thus passed the first year, light-footed and gay. Know you that they represented themselves by the colors orchid and silver. It was a happy choice. As sophomores they once more sought for a leader, and chose the queenly Dora. She was fair and earnest. They liked her. Dora Clary became the idol of that fickle mob. Eagerly then they fretted for something tangible to do, something that would furnish fun and show their wit. Presto! They had a Christmas party in the gym. They arrayed those newly planed boards with decorations gay. They cast red splashes on astonished white and christened them the class colors. The party waxed merry, truly. A nonsensical shadow play was given, and Bob Follette endeared herself to the hearts of the Sophs by her gay rendition of “Don’t Bring Me Flowers When It’s Shoeses that I Need.” Then Horace Knight as Santa Claus jingled merrily in, and each Soph received his or her present. (By the way, 1 got a monkey on a string and knew not how to take it, as flattering or otherwise.) After a final fling at dancing, the Sophs called it a night and went home to dream—of nothing in particular. Why waste energy that way? The party over, the Sophs became restless again and went in for athletics. Field Day came in all its splendor. A breathlessly interested crowd attended, and the Sophs were out in full regalia. Harvey Dutcher, their cheer leader, won half the battle by his persevering yells and contortionist’s antics. On that eventful day the Sophs swept on to victory and won a silver cup as reward. Thus ended the second year, with rejoicing. The Juniors assembled for their third year. A bit more sober were they, bui not one whit less bright. Quickly Herman was again made king and all were merry. A Hallowe’en party started the tun. There was mystery and spookiness in that affair. Everyone felt it. Witches, elves and sprites entered into the merry-making, and continued to romp long after the party was over. Never before was such a time, and never again will be! That year may it be said, the Juniors truly studied a bit, but studying grew boresome. I hey again threw off restraint—it chafed—and eagerly made preparations for a Junior play. On that night of nights that the “Dangerous Experiment” was given, the Juniors found renown. Charlie Wessell proved to be a great find, a true comedian. Who can forget Herman as the woman in scarlet? After the play which was an undoubted success, the orchestra struck up, and the dance was on. Followed an interim of comparative quiet, interspersed with scattered parties. Then came, oh say it breathlessly with just the right amount of awe, the Junior Prom. What glorious planning was then in order! What topsy-turvy delight, even in thinking of it! Dancing, music, punch! Under the shifting lights as merry a crowd as ever I hoped to see, and the glory—the glory of being a Junior! Days rushed by. Now came Field Day with its multitudes, its dust, and its tension. I hat cup, that glorious silver symbol, passed once more into our hands. Our class had made good! Then summer. Now we are Seniors, and dignified, according to popular tradition. That is why we have chosen Horace Knight as our sob;r representative. Under his tutelage, and that of Miss O’Brien, who has always been our class advisor and friend, we have produced three stupendous social successes;—s ailver tea, the .Senior Play, and the Senior Ball. Now our term is drawing to a close, but before I end the story of our bright meteoric reign in Mynderse, there is one more thing just shouting tor mention, so 1 shall put it here where you all may read. Tis so very importart—Year Book, make your bow! We’ve put our best in you, but we know you’re worth it. We, the class of 1925, were the first to appreciate your true worth, and beauty. Hail! Long may you live, for in you we live also! Page 21 Historian—E. M., ’25. Class Prophecy Members of the Class of 1925 Mynderse Academy ATTENTION ! ! .ire you coming to the reunion? IVhy?—To celebrate rur twenty-fifth anniversary of course. IVhere?—Seneca Falls. IVhen?—June JO, IQJO. Such was the message that came winging its way by air-mail to my Los Angeles home one bright June morning in 1950. Would I attend a reunion of the class of '25? Well I guess so! And that is how I happened to step off the train in Seneca Falls a few weeks later. Everything seemed changed, and my village had become a city. However, as I passed down the street a familiar face appeared on the horizon —that of my one-time school mate, Charles Wessell. He was unaltered (even his blush was the same) although he had become a world-famous comedian. Yes, the most innocent looking little boy” in our Senior Class was in far greater demand than Charlie Chaplin had ever been. Even ten years before, when I met him in Hollywood, his name was already an atraction to America theatre-goers. I continued on my way to the Gould (it was still on the same corner) and as I crossed to the other side I joyfully encountered two ladies, both of whom I endeavored to hug at once—Grace Bowell and Jeannette Dutcher. The former was a prima donna, while her friend travelled with her as her accompanist. They were widely known and had spent many successful seasons abroad. At luncheon I met two more old friends, Helen Nearpass and Dorothea Russell the one (laugh!) a matron in an Old Ladies’ Home, the other a dietitian. I am happy to say, however, that Dorothea never ruined any one’s digestion by ordering for him her own favorite luncheon combination, cream puffs and sour pickles. We five proceeded to view Main Street before going up to New Mynderse ('twas new twenty-five years ago). Over Conboy’s store was a sign which read “Conboy anil Tennant.” Just then a beautiful limousine drew up at the curb. The door opened; a tall man alighted and turned to assist with oldern gallantry a rosy-cheeked little lady. We recognized these grand folk as Mary and Herman, and some one remarked that Herman had been in partnership with his father-in-law for eighteen years. Without further delay, we made our way to Mynderse where we found the class assembled in the auditorium. During the glad reunion that followed, I learned how the years had treated these friends of mine. Our august president had lost all his extra avoirdupois and was quite lean, but he had become our honored ambassador to China. You remember how he used to devour Chinese novels? This was no passing interest, and when he met the famous Dr. I while taking a course at John Hopkins Medical College, they became fast friends. Horace proceeded to make a study of Chinese conditions and was soon so famous for his research work in China that he was appointed minister to the walled country where, he said, life just suited him. Paul Simson (Say, you know) had qualified as a heart specialist, but sad to say, he was not immune to diseases of that delicate organ, for on his return from England he had brought home a fair-haired maiden who answered to all descriptions of Shakespeare’s blond heroines. Barbara Follette, our most serious-minded classmate, being the only boy in the family and bound in honor to keep up the dignity of the house, had at last followed in her father’s footsteps, bent her energies on pill-box and medical book, and gained for herself the proud title of Dr. Bob, the best little sport in town. Betty Rolfe—you know how she adored bugs? Well, she married a buggy man, that is to say, a naturalist; and so interested had she become in his work that she spent most of her time ensnaring creepy specimens and mounting them for future use. Harold Kuney was exactly what no one would expect him to be—a science professor in a woman’s college. He said that at first he had a few doubts about accepting such a position, but that there is nothing like getting used to a thing—girls in particular. Mary Medden, our sober little friend, had come from far off India where she had been engaged in missionary work among the heathen. Truly, it was a long distance to travel for a class reunion; but Mary made it very nicely, for she arrived only an hour late. Helen Byrne was a zealous politician and devoted all her energies to the advancement of her city and state. She was the leader of the Woman’s Party in New York. But her national activities, as well, were so numerous, that her aeroplane was kept continually travelling from one coast to the other. Page 22 Grace Van Riper, whose disposition was ever of the placid type, kept a private orphan asylum. In this delightful place, the children played all day, wore their Sunday dresses, and enjoyed ice cream twice a week Lester White, who was always trying with his wise counsel to wake the world up to its possibilities, had attained the high position of political boss. Yes, Lester was the Republican ring-leader, and his convincing lectures were broadcasted throughout United States. Jane Wilson, that flint-hearted Miss with eyes a-twinkle, had at last succumbed to the charms of the popular Flint agent, Maynard Winkle. The years had touched them lightly; even their brown locks showed no ravages of time, for Jane’s study of the subject had enabled her to guard against the terrible disaster of Maynard’s “ever losin’ the hair on the top of his head.” Eleanor Warren had gained renown as an actress. On account of her early success on the stage, she had taken up this profession and was so gifted that she could play any role from that of a gay flapper to the stern grandmother. However, she was always best in the part of the mother-in-law who made life uncomfortable for her daughter’s unhappy husband. Our gifted friend, Eva Messer, was a second Elinor Glyn whose charming novels had admirers all over the world. Her brilliant talent had reaped a fortune, and she now owned so many beautiful establishments in Europe and the United States that one could never be sure where her home really was. Doris V'osburgh, whose interest in sociology had been furthered by the study of that interesting subject, economics, was a valuable member of the social service force on Ellis Island. She said that she hoped to continue in this noble and helpful occupation until the end of her days. That mild young man, Harvey Dutcher, had turned out to be a colossal success as a private detective. His diligent study of Cicero’s disclosure of Cataline’s conspiracy had aided him in his first cases, but he usually followed the tactics of Sherlock Holmes. Elizabeth Dilmore, whose pen was ever ready, was a noted essayist and magazine editor. Her work, flawless, virile, “to the point,” commanded the praise of even the most severe critics. Dora Clary, who loved to study Latin, had become a translator of ancient manuscripts, and from this delving into the classical past, she had brought to light many a long lost treatise. One of them was an essay of Virgil's which had not been seen for a thousand years. Romayne Vigars was the only member of the class not present. He was engaged in digging up Egyptian mummies which were his latest fad. As he had always been an inveterate globe-trotter, this wild-goose chase to northern Egypt surprised no one. As a rule he stayed less than a month in a place, but on this occasion he travelled so far and became so interested in his musty occupation that he never even read our invitation until it was too late to come. Margaret Guion, the fickle-hearted, had taken up aesthetic dancing, and many were the admirers of her airy grace. She had long since decided to live in single blessedness that she might enjoy to the full the numerous suitors who courted her hand. This course, she said, was the safest, because a husband “encumbers one so.” “Bud” Burrell—he prefers that familiar epithet—had won world-applause for his prowess on the baseball diamond. He never played on a defeated team, because, when he was with them, they always won. Babe Ruth was the seventh wonder in the sports world; Bud was the eighth, for he was equally proficient in football and could make as many touchdowns as home runs. Dorothy Brown was an interior decorator whose artistry proved so bewitching that her services were in constant demand. She possessed a large establishment and had “fifty brave men” on her pay-roll. There was also a fifty-first man. This person was not on the list of workmen and was Dorothy’s reason for no longer being called “Miss,” but he took orders just like the rest (so they said). Mary Wood had left her happy home fifteen years before to become a domestic science teacher in the Hawaiian Islands. The little brown children were so delighted with her cooking that she was never at a loss for some one to instruct in the toothsome art, and she was so taken up with her work that this was only her second visit home in all that time. We found that she could play the ukelele charmingly. Oh well, you can’t spend fifteen years just cooking, and Hawaiian moonlight is seductive to music. Audria Patterson had made loads of money by giving swimming lessons to the vast number of people who used to spend the summer camping on the shores of Cayuga Lake. Of course a few of them were naturally “fish,” but Audria had to teach the majority how to use their “fins.” Rosetta Thomas kept a flower farm which became a mass of bewitching bloom at the advent of summer. People came from far and near to admire and purchase her choice blossoms. She was especially famous for her acres of “roses” unrivalled for their size and beauty. Ella Bookman who had elected to make the world laugh, surpassed Sidney Smith as a cartoonist. Serious affairs and funny ones alike, were portrayed by her so cleverly that she was known as the Distillerof Page 23 Page 24 Mirth.” I his sounds like a scientific title, hut then “Bookie” studied distillation in Chemistry by which many strange things are accomplished. Margaret McCarthy had married an Austrian Count with a string of names a mile long. I won’t give his name because I cannot spell it. Prior to the war he had invested his fortune in American oil fields. After their marriage he and Margaret returned to his Austrian estates where they remained to devote much of their time and wealth tor the betterment ot the people. Cornelia Fegley kept the smartest modiste shop on Fifth Avenue. All her gowns like Helen’s came straight from Paris; and she, herself, went abroad each year to study Parisian styles and to give her order in person. All the famous actresses frequented Connie’s charming establishment, for the admirable taste, to which her own faultless attire always bore witness, never failed them. And what about William Dunham? He was a staid and solemn clergyman more eccentric than otherwise, for his congregation received the text each Sunday in the form of a cross-word puzzle which thev were obliged to solve. These obnoxious brain-teasers had gone out and come in vogue several times since the Reverend William had first become interested in them back in the twenties, but because they had never lost their fascination tor him, he was called the Cross-word Puzzle Divine. By the time each one had been heard from, it was necessary to scurry away to dress for the banquet which had been arranged for at the hotel. This proved as enjoyable as the theatre party that followed, and it was with infinite regret that I said farewell to the old friends with whom it had been my good fortune to spend a tew more mirthful hours. A little later as I settled down in the sleeper that was swiftly bearing me westward, I watted to the stars a fervent wish that the Fates would spin a future for the Class of ’25 as golden as their past. M. I.. K„ ’25. Junior Class History Oh, where are the Juniors? Why, right here in old Mynderse, where for three years we have been struggling with school books under our arms in order to gain the vast knowledge possessed by our revered superiors, the Seniors of 1925. And next year, the fruits of our labor will be reaped, and we shall be the envied Seniors, whose honors will, of course, greatly surpass those of any other class since the founding of the school. What glories await us studious Juniors! This brilliant group of wide-awake Juniors was organized as Freshmen back in '22 when a very distinguished member of the class, Wayne Reed, whose abilities are remarkably promising, was elected to the dignified office of president. Norman Comisky, who has since very reluctantly left the school, was chosen vice-president; Elizabeth Davis, secretary, and Ellen Medden, treasurer. Green and yellow (pardon us) gold were selected as class colors. During the first year we had a Thanksgiving party, held in the gym, attended by the majority of the class, and a sleigh load, likewise a success. Sophomores! We felt bigger, although probably we weren’t any larger at all. “Bud” Souhan assumed the office left by his predecessor, Wavne Reed, who them became vice-president. Elizabeth Davis undertook the responsibilities of treasurer and Ellen Medden acted as secretary. Purple and gold were chosen as our Sophomore colors. During this year we had a Hallowe'en party which, everyone remembers, some mischief-loving rascals attempted to spoil by scattering about an unforgetable odor. In spite of this daring performance the partv was enjoyed. Later that year, the Basket Ball Girls endeavored to have a sleigh load, but for some unknown reasons, the proposed sleigh ride resulted in a theatre party. Now we are stately Juniors. We elected Wayne Reed again as our president (he positively refuses to hold any other office) and became one more notch wiser and dignified. Emerson Moran has been chosen vice-president and promises to be very efficient in fulfilling his duties. Maynard Winkle is both secretary and treasurer. As a whole, we are a great class, full of “pep” and stick-to-it-iveness. We also shine in athletics. In our Freshman year we won third place in the Field Day track meet and last year we came in second. According to this order of things, we must naturally capture the first and foremost place at the next athletic meet. Having reached this important position in our careers, we have come to this sage conclusion—that the elevator to Success is not running. “Bov1” But, he doesn’t hear us. We must climb the stairs. I. I. B., ’26. Page 25 Page 26 Sophmore Class History One day not so long ago tlie Editor of the Year Hook asked me to write the history of 1927. We’re only two years old, almost too young to have real biographical interest, but I sat down to think over these past two years. What did happen? Well, back in September, 1923, I happened to be made president, and then came a time of planning for red letter days to make our Freshman year memorable. As F’reshmen we were the largest class in the school; and “the more the merrier.” We were merry! I think we had the most fun on St. Valentine’s Day. We decorated the Parish House with hearts, big and little, and with long red streamers as a fitting setting for them. There was pink ice cream and pink fro-ted cake as refreshments, because what party is complete without the fixings? After this gay affair there was a lull until the close of the school when we held our picnic! We surely had great fun then. That closed our freshman year. This year we are the more dignified Sophomores. Our class is much smaller now. Gilbert Knox is our president. We have been so busy that we have had no class parties so far, but we hope to have some tun before June comes. D. W., ’27. Page 27 Page 28 Freshman Flistory On September 2, 1924, the doors of Mynderse Academy opened to admit a new class, very young and green, by far excelling in brain, brawn and voice all other classes entering Mynderse as Freshmen. We numbered over one hundred strong, and during those first school days our feeling seemed aptly expressed by the following lines: “Theirs not to make reply, Theirs not to do or die.” Our first meeting was called to order on September 22, and we elected Elmer Chappell, president; Frederick Fegley, vice-president, and Irene Burrell, secretary and treasurer. Class advisors were Mis-. Redman and Miss Webb. It was decided to have our meetings the first Monday of each month with monthly dues to cover our class expenses. The social event of the year was a very successful Hallowe’en party held in the gymnasium. This we all enjoyed. Fresh we are; and although we have had little time to prove our worth, we are striving to grasp every opportunity that old Mvnderse offers. Soon you will hear of the brilliant achievements of the class of 1928. F.. M., '28, Class Historian-. Page 29 Page 30 Heirs at Law Horace Knight .... Lindsay Doane Charles Wessell .

McCarthy, the well-loved janitor of the school came to Mynderse way back in 1886, nearly forty years ago. He expected to stay only a short time, but when “Mike’s” value was once learned, it was found that Mynderse could never again be run without him. So here he stayed, and all the alumnae have happy memories of the services of our kindly janitor. He is always busily engaged about the building or yard with a cheery smile for all of us. The late-risers give a gasp of relief at seeing “Mike’s ’’smiling face at the upper window, giving the old bell just a few more taps to save them from tardiness. Always kind, always courteous, “Mike” has for forty years been an example of true kindness and friendship to the students of Mynderse. Year after year he has watched them progress from Freshmen to Sophomores, Sophomores to Juniors and finally reach the dignified position of Seniors. To each and all he has been a friend with a heart as young and gay as their own. “Mike’ll fix it” is an expression often heard around Mynderse, from teachers and students alike, and we have all come to realize that we could never pay our debt of gratitude to him. Long live Mike! H. W. B„ ’25. Page 36 Page 38 Football in Mynderse Academy, 1924 I he Mynderse Academy Football I earn, after getting a late start, had a fairly successful season, scoring three defeats, followed by two victories. Two of the defeats, however, were lost bv very close scores. Coach William G. Stevenson, the young mentor from Springfield College, taking over the direction of the Mynderse eleven for the first year was handicapped by the inexperience and fewness of the candidates. In spite of the fact that he had untried material with which to work, he whipped into shape a team, which at the end of the season was accredited by expert professionals, as being one of the best elevens Mynderse Academy has ever had. The scores were: Mynderse—0 M ynderse—0 Mynderse—0 Mynderse—19 Mynderse—42 The line-up was as follows: Moran ..... Reeil ...... Knight ..... Simpson . Dutcher Swan ...... Scattaglia .... Burrell . O’Dea................. Tennant . . . . . Souhan ..... Watkins—6 Geneva High 45 Watkins—1 Newark—7 Starkey—0 Left End . Left Tackle Left Guard Center . Right Guard Right Tackle Right Find .

Page 39 Page 40 Girls’ Basketball Four long years ago five insignificant, timid, little Freshman girls thought they wanted to be sportive. So Miss Billie Battenfeld took them under her wing and taught them the art of playing basketball. They aspired to high honors and won ’em. Throughout the four years, they’ve held an option on winning. But disaster fell among them when Billie didn’t come back this year—Billie, the life and inspiration of the team. The only time the “five” ever lost a game was when they attempted to defeat the faculty, the score being 26 to 25. Oh, well, who ever heard of putting anything over on the faculty!

Page 4 Field Day In 1924 the field was again crowded with enthusiastic spectators, and 1925 at the end of a perfect day led the field of contestants by over forty points. The cup was ours lor another year. Field Day is again approaching, and we as seniors are looking forward to demonstrating for the last time how victory is won. As Virgil said in speaking of how his men became winners in a race, “They can, because they believe they can,” so say we all. The Arbor Day celebration, one of the old Mynderse traditions, was displaced in 1923 by Field Day, and two years of success prove that the substitution was a happy solution to the problem of finding a safe outlet for “bottled up” class spirit. Competition in 1923 among the classes was keen in all contests, but from the start our class, 1925, because of the close cooperation and interest of the girls as well as the boys showed itself to be a winner. I he silver cup generously donated by McArdle Brothers was awarded to our class. Page 42 Can You Imagine ? “Steve”—wearing knickers. Paul Si ms on—agreeing with you.
