Class Advisor Page 0 £ Class Poem Yes, we’re seniors now, I tell you, And we sit in room nineteen; All our trials and troubles over, We now rule, the class supreme. Take a look at brother freshmen, Sister sophomores; how they sigh! For they wish they, too, were seniors, Reigning loftily on high. How they long for just one minute Far within the senior walls, Ah! The seniors! They are wonders, For they have no bumps or falls! Oh, the world is kind to seniors. So it seems to those below. But if they’ve never been there, They can never, never know. So they spend their time in longing, Striving upward toward the goal, ’Till the time when they’ll be seniors, High atop the steepest knoll. And we seniors, high in glory, Spare a thought for those below; And we’re longing, would you think it Back to freshman days to go! For now that we are seniors. We must always do “just so” We must never fret or quarrel; We must ever onward row. We must never stop or loiter; But, with steady step and sure, Press on, and on and upward, Be the public’s cynosure. ■ e :? ! Dorothy Adamy “Dot We’re expecting great things of Dot. After her exceptional acting in the role of “Jane”, what class wouldn’t be proud to acknowledge her as a member? She is vivacious and laughter-loving, always a good friend. Marjorie Allen “Margy’’ Behold our foremost student! But, no indeed, Margy’s talents do not end here. An athlete of prominence, a talented actress and a clever horsewoman, all are within Margy’s line. And, oh yes. Margy is a lovely dancer. Doubt it? Ask her! We only hope that the college that wins her will appreciate her as much as we do. Louis Anderson “ Loui ” Behold, the surgeon to be! We wonder if this young lady, a good student and an enthusiastic athlete, will someday make all her dreams come true! She knows what she wants, and usually goes after it. Well you know her basket ball ability and that no game seems complete without “Loui”. Arlene Bishop Arlene is so quiet and reserved that there isn’t much we can say. But we do know that she is a clever and useful typist, who has worked hard for the success of this Myndersian. Oh my, I almost forgot! She is a very good reason for number seventeen in a certain game at the parties at Magee’s Corners. Page 12 Arthur Burley “Art” Often may this youth be seen languidly surveying the truths of philosophers with one hand holding back his unruly hair. Without doubt, he is comparing these theories with his own. Certainly Art’s smile will win him many friends. We expect a great deal from him, and know he won’t fail us. Elizabeth Burtless “Betty” This is Betty, Mynderse’s good sport. Everyone knows Betty, and likes her. Although she may not be so fast in English and Caesar, she certainly can play basket-ball. Her winning smile and gentle spoken words will make her popular and successful wherever she may go. Howard Burtless “Peanuts” Behold “Peanuts”, our one living example of perfect patience! No one in ’27 can forget his sorrowful sigh, if he loses but one precious moment at dismissal time. But everyone likes our curly-haired athlete. Howard is bound to be successful. How can such dogged persistence fail? Amelia Capparelli Amelia is one of the sweetest of our senior girls. She is a model student and lends dignity to the class. But lest you think her too much of a paragon, we must tell you that, while she loves to get up in the morning, she thinks it better to stay in bed on school days— at least for a few extra winks. Tardiness is her specialty. | Page 13 sss f Mary Carroll This brown-eyed girl is either very serious and, oh, so dignified, or giggly and jolly, but never boisterous. Mary’s always the last word, at least when Miss O’Brien is marking absences. Just as Mary’s name is down, in she comes with a gasping, “Here I am. Miss O’Brien!” We all like Mary and wish her endless good fortune. Virginia Clark “Ginnie” Please meet the admirable “Miss Boke”. Virginia is a jolly young lady, full of pep and loved by us all. We are sure that no one will teach biology more thoroughly or interestingly than she. Recently she has taken up horse-back riding. We wonder why? Leon Dutcher “Red” Leon is the “warrior” of Mynderse. Many times a teacher’s startling voice has rung out in reply to Leon’s negation, Go home and get that excuse before school starts!” As many times, dauntlessly he has returned. Thus it is in school and out of school; always there is that spirit invincible which we of ’27 know will guide Leon to success. Nedra Ellis “Ned” No group is quite complete without this sophisticated young lady. Her quiet tones are always heard mingled with the more strident notes of her companions, particularly among those select little groups to be found in the halls discussing human failings. What can we say as to her future, when there are so many places to be filled by just Nedra? But then, wherever she goes, we know that her friends will be in legions. Page 14 William Farrell “Bill CSV5- If our class were not graced by this, our able business manager, we should become too flighty. For it is Bill’s gentle sarcasm that divests us of any unseemly conceit and keeps us wholly on the ground. Bill has so many talents and so many varied experiences that it is difficult to place him definitely in any walk of life. Both the drug store and the theater have found this senior an asset, so we’ll leave him on the high road to prosperity along one of these lines. Althea Green “Tom” This quiet lass joined the class of 1927 two short years ago. She is our official visitor; she attends school regularly, at least twice a week! Although Althea claims her hair isn’t red, we all have our doubts. “Tom” has never informed us as to what she expects to do after leaving Mynderse. but we couldn’t help noticing the diamond she is sporting. Alice Hoster Alice is another business student in our class. If she is as successful as she should be from her early training and friendships, she will reach out in a wide circle in the great commercial world. People many times belie their gentle natures by abilities unthought of, and so it is with Alice. She drives her car like a sweeping whirlwind. We hope we’ll never lose this good friend. Alice Hughes Alice is fortunate, for she has a host of friends. In this case, appearances aren’t deceiving. She is every bit as intelligent as she looks. Yes, Alice is very fond of gum; however, she deserves a better title than champion gum-chewer of ’27. How about “Champion Mirth-Provoker?” If succesf doesn’t come to Alice, it won’t be her fault! Page 15 Lewis Irland “Louie The class has in “Louie” its most apparent athlete. He is a basketball star that shines evei-y Friday night throughout the basket ball season. What will graduation bring “Louie”? We’ll leave that to his destiny and hope it’s just the best ever, for this silent good fellow is well-fitted for the best positions of life. Hodge Kelley “Kelley “Kelley” is the “pick” of the business men of Mynderse. He possesses all of those finalities which are necessary for business success, including poise. Hodge had this characteristic, we notice, in a great degree when under fire of defeat in the field, and later as sports reporter. The class of ’27 wishes Hodge well. Inez Kelley “Tiny” This dainty miss cannot be the one whose stern hand compelled the editorial staff of the year book to labor and toil at their appointed tasks. But ask anyone. You’ll find that Inez is one of the most popular girls of the school, ready to compose a song, draw a portrait, sing or do anything else, almost! We’re certain that Inez’s accomplishments will speak for themselves when she seeks her life work. Ellen Kuney This is Ellen Kuney. She possesses untold quantities of initiative and ought to make a successful business woman. Dominant describes her best. She is little, but capable, whether it is handling a car or a brother. You know she is one of the nicest sisters in school. Page 6 Homer Kuney Who doesn’t count Homer as a friend? Although he is considered a great tease by the gil ls, he seems to have any number of friends among them. Homer has a great desire to handle money, so we made him treasurer of our Dramatic Society. Here’s the best wishes of 1927 for good luck in the future, Homer. William Matteson “Bill” Here is the bulwork of the Senior Class. He who has felt the push of Bill’s sinewy frame, in the field or in the court, well respects his title as captain and leading man of the Myn-derse squad of ’26. Then, too, William is a stoic example of the kind of men who live and die for the perpetuation of high ideals. Long may such spirit reign! Ruth Morehouse “Rufus” Ruth is a charming school-mate, a good student, and the best friend anyone could desire. Her marks in mathematics presage her as a teacher in that subject, a surveyor or an astronomer. Which is it to be? We wonder! Dorothy Morrison “Diz” Here is Mynderse’s busy art student. She best displays her extraordinary gift by these products of her genius—the art sections of this book. No one could be more appreciated by her class mates than our “Diz”. Everyone depends on Dorothy to uphold the reputation of the class in successful years of work and study. Pratt Institute will gain another embryo costume illustrator next September, we expect. Page] 17 John Ortino “Johnnie” John, we know, loves his angles and cubes; With figures he’s a shark. But on the stage he’s all the rage, For he often turns quite dark. We are sure that John will gain the success we so heartily wish him. Frances Philo This quiet girl lends dignity to our giddy class. She goes about her duties with that conscientiousness we always admire and even envy in others, but usually find so hard to obtain for ourselves. We know Frances’ personality and demure resignation will carry her far. May the best of luck and love go with her always. Emelia Reco This maiden of Mynderse’s class of ’27 possesses that quality which makes everything come out right whenever she lends a hand. Surely Emelia will be successful so accurate and attentive is she. No one could for long feel bitter toward Emelia. She is by far too good-natured. Good luck to you, Emelia. Randall Smith “Smitty” The hero of “Seventeen” still lives up to his reputation of disapproving of everything. Is there anyone who hasn’t heard that, “Aw gee! We can’t do all that for tomorrow!” Still it was a happy chance that prompted us when we chose him president for our last year at Mynderse. If he exercises his executive abilities outside of school as well as inside, there will be no question as to his future. 2 Page 18 Elizabeth Soper “Lee” Wee dark curls, dusky eyes; Dazzling smiles, or otherwise. Short skirts and silken hose; A powder puff where e’er she goes. On each side a man or two— Gigglingest girl you ever knew! Ella Louise Stafford “Eloise” This well-known senior has a trade-mark that distinguishes her from the rest of her class-mates,-—the name of a favorite sweet, “Oh, Henry!” Eloise is a good business student too, so maybe she’ll become the President’s private secretary in the end. Secretaries lead busy lives, and meet many people, so perhaps the trade-mark will change with time. Here’s to the best road, anyway, Eloise. John Stevenson “Johnnie” This jovial young person is Mynderse Academy’s finest penman (ask Miss O’Brien). He doesn’t live within the limits of our great village, so we residents don’t know what we miss during the noon hour. Johnnie’s the life of those who bring their lunch, the girls especially. You see, he’s such a popular gentleman. Helen Syron It is rumored that this lass from the city of Tyre has set just as many masculine hearts on fire as did Helen of Troy in olden days. Helen’s sunniness is well-known in Mynderse, and has made for her innumerable friends. K 5i� Page 19 William Van Arsdale “Bill” Tho’ the hour be late, and then minutes fly, He’ll be right here by and by. A honk; a rattle; a squeak; a whiz! The door opens, and here it is. Bill is always cheerful and ready to help out in any way he can. His many warm friends wish him the success he so well deserves. Bertha Van Riper Bertha is a quiet soul, who carries herself in a most charmingly dignified manner. But she’s just the best kind of friend imaginable, with her ready smile and solicitude. She’s another of our most successful business students, and we are sure the same success which she has achieved here will follow her in later life. Hamilton White “Ham” “Ham” has been stepping out since he has had permission to drive “Dad’s Car”. That may be the cause of his popularity among the fair ones lately, especially the brunettes. He evidently doesn’t believe that “gentlemen prefer blondes.” Now we’d like to know who the girl was who wrote letters to our modest senior, that caused so much anguish? How about it. Ham? Adolph Wildner Adolph is the sort of boy who would do his best and then try to do better. Never quelled by a failure, he rises up and tries again. Adolph’s special pleasure is Latin IV, and many are the joyful hours he spends over his favorite lesson. Perhaps he thinks differently, but we know it’s true. F Doris Wilkes “Bobby” Who can deny that Doris is a friend indeed? She is just the sunny, capable sort of person that everybody loves. Her talents are too numerous to mention. Well do we remember her undisputed eminence in American History. But it is with equal proficiency that she accomplishes whatever she undertakes. Surely she is one of whom Mynderse may well be proud. Robert Wilson “Lee” This is “Golden-Locks”, the cartoonist. For an all-around good sport, he fills the bill. Whether it’s acting on the stage or driving a car, he is equally proficient. Without Lee, our class would be without a genuine humorist. For who can he serious with Lee around? Leah Wood “Les” Here’s Leah, the talkative senior. But we’ll have to hand it to you, Les. You have made many history periods shorter by delivering a lecture when asked to answer a question. We all like Leah, big words and all, and hope that she will find the world an easy place in which to live. Page 21 These Students expect to Join the Senior Class in June Nettie Burroughs Nettie is a good student and a good friend. Always ready to help, she has made herself well-liked by all who are at Mynderse. The only failing Nettie seems to have is lack of confidence in herself, but one day she’ll outgrow that, and then she’ll truly come into her own. We wish her much good luck after her graduation. Beatrice Fegley “Bee” “Wait a moment, girls. I’m coming.” That’s Bee. Bee’s a rare good sport and a jolly companion. Where she is, you’re sure to hear a laugh, for she’s a well of mirth, constantly bubbling over. She is one of our most colorful girls. Few would dare to wear bold gypsy colors, but Bee does it was a dash and brilliance that is quite the despair of the rest of us. But then, she is an individualist. William Fuess “Bill” It is very certain that Bill will never have to worry about a restricted vocabularly. He has often been acclaimed the silver-tongued orator of the Senior Class. Never at loss for something to recite he has filled in programs that would otherwise have been incomplete. Remember Bill’s rhythmic cheer leading and dancing steps? His ready flow of words and quick wits will take him far. Willis Thacker “Willie” Next comes our musical member, the Kreis-ler to be. All of us have enjoyed hearing him play his violin in our school orchestra. But, Willie, you must overcome your bashfulness; you know the best accompanists are of the gentler sex. Kenneth Waldorf “Kennie” Please don’t overlook “Kennie”. This talented gentleman is the future Raphael or Michael Angelo of America. He is a good student too, but we look for an artistic career for him with unlimited laurels. Page 22 I f - � s The Alphabet at Mynderse A is for Adamy, Allen, Anderson; it stands for ability, too. B is for Burtless, Burley, Bishop—we’re speaking of Arlene now. C is for cleverness, Capparelli, Carroll and Clark. D is for Dutcher, and also for daring. E is for Ellis, eternally eager. F is for Fuess, following fast. G is for good—and, oh yes, for Green too. H is for Hughes and Hoster, happy, not harassed. I is for Irland. Then, too I’s for “it”.

N is for (k) no (w)-nothings. There’s none in our class. O is for Ortino only. P is for Petersen, prince of physical educators. Q is for Queens; that’s what ’27’s girls are. R is for right, which modifies us. S is for sweetness, Stafford and Syron. Don’t leave out Stevenson! T is for thoughtful. That fits us all. U is for you. See, we’re not selfish. V is for Vogel. Oh, how we N. V. him! W is for the Williams, Wildner, Wilkes, Wilson and Wood. X is for xtras, of which we have none. Y is for youngsters—all underclassmen. Z is for zenith—that which we’ve just reached. I Pag' 23 Senior Class History ¥ Four years ago, we shyly entered the portals of Mynderse, for we were mere “frosh” and needs must be humble; but we quickly united in a mighty league and chose Doris Wilkes to lead us through that unknown land, our first year. Very well she acquitted herself, and her reign was bright with gay festivities—the Hallowe’en and Valentine Day parties. So through the year we sped until field day came. There we took second place in favor of our sister class, the Juniors. You’ll admit no Freshman Class could be more tactful. Then came those days of sunshine and freedom—vacation days. Three months later, one crisp September day, our old band reassembled, and sophomore year had begun. Jack O’Brien, our chief led us through that uneventful year. A few swift months and then we were Juniors and Arthur Burley became our president. First the Hallowe’en party and later the Prom, gay with regal colors, purple and gold, brought us to the attention of the other classes. Field Day we let our little freshmen beat us; for wasn’t the gayest Prom in school history enough glory? Now this last semester is almost over and we feel a little subdued at the thought that we will soon be graduates, even though it has been gay. Randall Smith, our president and Miss O’Brien, our class advisor, have guided us through this red-letter year in which Nineteen Twenty-seven, has really come into its own. A Hallowe’en masquerade party started the festivities, at which the faculty joined us and vied with us in gorgeous and unusual costumes. Eagerly the Seniors made plans for their play, ’’Seventeen”, and carried it through to success. Then came Professor Losey’s famous lecture and recital. Who could forget his “Macbeth”? This was followed shortly by our Holiday Ball, which was a complete success even though our electrical effects weren’t as planned. Still the party came up to the best Mynderse traditions, and who could ask for more? Last comes “Myndersian”. In blue and white, for truth and right, We choose to tell our story. May this “Myndersian” ever be Resplendent of our glory. A.C.W. % Class Prophecy I had been practicing medicine in the East and now in 1950 decided to try Hollywood. As I sat reading in the Pullman, the headlines of the daily paper caught my eye. “Smith runs for sixth term. New York’s most popular governor again to be candidate for office,” it read. And there I beheld the well-known face of—not Governor Alfred Smith, but Randall Smith! Of course, this didn’t surprise me, for I knew all about it. In fact 1 had even voted for him. At the next station a young couple entered my car. I started up in amazement; then went forward to greet Kennie Waldorf and Lizzie Soper. Kennie, it seems, was now a famous artist, and Lizzie was his favorite model. Everywhere they go, they are greeted by warm admirers. To be sure, it was because of Lizzie’s capable management that Kennie had amassed his great fortune. The hours sped onward, but nothing very exciting happened, until I had nearly reached my destination. As I descended from the train, I beheld John Or-tino. the “Genesis” of “Seventeen”. He had, I learned, gained much fame from his interpretation of similar roles. I was no less surprised when I encountered Hodge Kelley, a ticket agent of the Grand Central Station in New York. His engaging personality and business-like poise were considered priceless by his employers. I soon reached the Paramount Hotel. I stepped to the desk to register, and I was cordially greeted by William Farrell. Through his great business ability he was able to successfully manage the most popular of Hollywood’s hotels. We talked for a few moments of bygone days, and he informed me that Dorothy Adamy had a room in his hotel. I rushed excitedly to the elevator. I stepped out on the third floor, and easily-found Dorothy’s room. I was astonished to hear that our little “Dot” was now a lion tamer at Wildner’s Circus. She won the admiration of the many audiences by her fearless daring and agility. Yes, she told me, Adolph had been fascinated by circus life, so he had purchased the great Barnum and Bailey’s Circus. Finally, I went to my room and decided to lunch there. Some time later, I heard a familiar, yet peculiar voice. I opened the door, and there stood Johnny Stevenson in a bright red uniform with brass buttons! He was chief detective of the place, he confided, and only masqueraded as bell-boy. After this, I was prepared for anything. At seven, I went down to the dining room in hopes of seeing some of the film celebreties. A tiny blonde lady, exquisitely clad, caught my attention. It was none other than our fair Eloise, now starring in the ever-popular, “What Every Woman Knows.” Her escort, of course, was Henry. There was a short curly'-liaired gentleman with a fair companion at the table next mine. It was Howard Burtless, a playwright very famous for the brilliance of his comedies, with Clara Geb. Howard was now in Hollywood to see his latest and best staged. But who was this languidly smiling young man who seemed to be attracting so much attention? It was none other than Art Burley. “He’s a poet of great eminence,” I heard. “I must really find time someday to read a few of his foremost works.” Page 25 r £ : g sfc-� 1 Then, in a far corner, I sighted a flash of red hair. I looked again. It was Leon Dutcher! And his companion—Lewis Ireland! As I neared their table, I heard Leon seriously expounding a great ethical problem of the day. Immediately Lewis refuted the argument with profound brilliance. I learned that these gentlemen were the greatest philosophers of the era, and it was with difficulty that I wrenched myself away from their interesting conversation. Through the window 1 happened to catch sight of a brilliantly lighted edifice farther down the street. Curiously, I sauntered along the walk and joined the crowd that seemed to be rapidly filling the building. It was a church, and I learned that a spectacular evening wedding of two celebrated film stars was soon to take place. From far and wide notable persons had flocked to view this novel performance. I slipped excitedly into a seat fortunately vacant, and waited. Just as the great clock in the tower pealed the eighth resounding stroke, the organ, hidden in flowers, began to play softly. Then I sighted the minister’s face in the chancel. I rubbed my eyes frantically; was I dreaming? It was indeed Robert Wilson, with a saintly expression on his familiar face. So surprised was I, that it was not until I received a severe dig in the ribs that I noticed the arrival of the bridal party. As the murmuring music ceased, the bride turned her head and, I saw her lovely face. I gasped in astonishment. Surely it must be Nedra! The bridegroom, slender in conventional black, bowed a head of flaming red. Bill Fuess, of course. But this time I was mistaken. These were mere youngsters! I was desperately puzzled. Someone kindly explained to me that the bride was the daughter of Nedra, who had early married a wealthy Hollywood notable; the groom, the son of Bill Fuess and his lovely wife. And so it happened that Bill. Junior, and Nedrita were married. Breathlessly I watched the age-old ceremony take place, and finally found myself in the open air amid the confetti covered crowd, watching the fast disappearing bridal car. It was not until then that I noticed that Helen Syron had followed me. Helen is now a very distinguished professor of great excellence. This was surprising, for I had never dreamed of Helen’s ability along that line. Weakly, I returned to the hotel. I had had enough surprises for one day. Some time later, I was suddenly aroused from my peaceful slumbers by a piercing scream. I sat up. It seemed to come from the corridor. I looked out. There I beheld a familiar figure. Drawing her into my room I exclaimed, “Virginia! What is the matter?” Virginia had been walking in her sleep, and waking up, had found herself in the hall. I learned that she had been all over the world in her travels, and that she had published many interesting accounts of her experiences. Arlene Bishop, she told me, was now the private secretary of the President of the United States. This indeed surprised me. Think! A member of ’27 in the White House! Next morning as I descended from my room, whom did I see in the elevator but Bee Fegley! Bee told me she had at last attained her goal. She was an operatic singer of the dashing style that we can well appreciate. As Beatrice was also on a sight-seeing tour, she accompanied me on my trip through the studios. We happened to spy a neat little shop nearby, so we entered. We were delighted to find Bertha Van Riper behind the counter. She owned the store, she told us, and received the trac’e of all the best actresses at Hollywood. After a pleasant little chat, we went on our way. As we passed the aeroplane landing, a machine descended from the skies. A begoggled but familiar figure emerged from the pilot’s seat. William Matteson removed his helmet and stepped forth to greet us. We expressed our pleasure at I. Page 26 seeing him again, and soon found that another surprise awaited us. We then turned to the passenger who had just alighted. We easily recognized Hamilton White. Hamilton, now known as the world’s richest man, had made famous explorations of unknown regions in his own private plane. We went on shortly, but soon halted. A gold name-plate caught my eye. “Homer S. Kuney, Att’y.” We eagerly climbed the narrow stairs to his neat little office. Homer himself, the most popular and best patronized lawyer of all Hollywood, greeted us. After exchanging pleasantries, he told us that his sister Ellen had gone into business with Ruth Morehouse. They are two very competent directors; Morehouse-Kuney films can be found anywhere in the best theatres. We next visited the abode of Francis Philo and Emelia Recco, who have a lovely home for the tiny stage children. Emelia graciously volunteered to show us the lots. The first thing we heard was a shrill voice saying, “Now, Miss Allen, your lover is in a most precarious position; you are petrified with fear, but you must cling to him with the tenacity of a bulldog. It looks preposterous, but, in reality, can be done with great agility, if you only precipitate yourself unawares on his back. All ready? Now do it rapidly and correctly!” Of course, I knew in a minute that it was Leah Wood, with a megaphone in one hand and her beloved dictionary in the other. The lovers were Margy Allen and Willis Thacker. It was rather difficult for Margy to interpret the role to suit Leah, but she stuck to her alleged lover through thick and thin. They say she does the same in private life. It then chanced that I glanced again at the dictionary. A name caught my eye, I seized the book in both hands, and held it closer to my face. “William Van Arsdale, lexicographer.” I nearly fainted. You remember William’s spelling But he had over come this failing, and now was known as a second dictator of the English language! Wonder will never cease! The next scene was enacted by Betty Burtless, in a black velvet gown that made her look even taller than usual. She was trying to alienate Nettie Burroughs, who sacrificed all for her children, from her husband. It was here that I ran across Inez Kelly. I learned that she was a collector of first editions. She always did have peculiar hobbies. I was struck by the beauty of the next scene. Someone told me it had been designed by clever “Diz” Morrison, a distinguished artist. With this beautiful background as a setting, I discovered Althea Green playing the part of Cleopatra, the wicked temptress. As we were returning to the hotel, we met a passing troupe. Several faces seemed familiar to me. To be sure, they were Amelia Capparelli, Alice Hughes, Maiy Carroll and Alice Hoster. Amelia’s violin, Alice Hughes’ lovely voice. Maiy Carroll’s contralto and Alice Hoster’s ability in playing the piano won applause wherever they chanced to go. Suddenly when the luncheon whistle blew, everyone tore pellmell for a certain attractive restaurant. Of course, it was planned, owned and directed by our own capable Bobby Wilkes. As I ate one of her delicious chicken pies, many pleasant reminiscences of ’27 occupied my mind, and I rejoiced as I thought of the pleasant futures of my dear friends. L. J. A., ’27 Pag' 27 fCGw Junior Class History Hurrah for the juniors! We now consider ourselves nearly as learned as the superior seniors, for next year we will have climbed to their place on the ladder of knowledge. As freshmen, we organized our class in September, 1924. Green and white, the former quite appropriate for freshmen, were chosen as class colors and Miss Webb and Miss Redman were selected as class advisors. Elmer Chappell, who seemed very efficient, took up the duties of president. The first social event we participated in was a masquerade party in the old “gym”, which was voted an entire success by the majority of the class who attended it. Sophomores! When we came back to Mynderse the next year, w'e considered ourselves vastly above the level of freshmen. At the first meeting the lordly Jack O’Brien w'as elected president, while Paul Alford, as vice-president, assisted him. Green and white as class colors were discarded, and orange and blue became our emblem. The class advisors. Miss Webb and Miss Finnimore, aided us in putting on two very successful parties, one a Hallowe’en party in the old “gym”, and later a progressive party in the gymnasium of the new school. Both were a decided success, especially the latter which was the first party to be given in the new school. Juniors! There is scarcely one of us who does not realize our importance, for are w'e not upperclassmen with the top nearly in view? At the first meeting in October, Jack O’Brien was again chosen president while Edwin Medden was elected vice-president and Faith Moran, secretary and treasurer. Plans were discussed with the class advisors, Miss Holbrook, Miss Competello and Mr. Davidson, for a Valentine party to be given on Lincoln’s birthday. The seniors, post-graduates and the teachers were invited. The gymnasium was attractively decorated with red crepe paper and red hearts. Music was provided for those who wished to dance, while games were open to others. Everybody had an enjoyable evening and as a result we are confident of making the Junior Prom, with the help of our faculty advisors, the most successful dance ever given in the newr school. Thus, lacking only one more chapter, the history of the class of ’28 is completed. E. I. B„ ’28. Page 29 K(s x----------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------- Sophmore Class History So])homores! and so ’29 is in her year of wisdom, after passing through that delightful giddy whirl of babyhood. Such fun as we had, oblivious to the wearisome toil of the upper classmen. The outstanding event of the year, was our debut in theatricals. Grimly we resolved to make this a success. Our reward amply repaid for our troubles, for we were the grateful recipients of a huge nest egg,—over two hundred and twenty-five dollars. Such opulence! We are one of the first freshman classes to achieve such a feat, and in senior year we hope to realize our colorful air castles spending it. The opening of the new school, as well, marked another milestone in our freshman year. We are the first freshman class to leave old Mynderse for the new, and we will be the first senior class to be graduated from it after spending only three and a half years in it. (We do hope someone will be impressed with such brilliance and not get too mathematical.) Tripping gleefully along, we left our childish pranks and with set jaws determined to buckle down to the diligent tasks of worthy sophomores. This year we seem to have a more serious aspect on life, and envy the “freshies”. But our heavy curriculum has been immensely relieved by the abundance of frolics so generously shared with us by our “elders”. Our sister class. ’27, which we shall wistfully bid God-speed some June day soon, played the charming hostess at a jolly Hallowe'en masquerade. The “sophs” appeared en masse, and what a rollicking time we enjoyed in the “gym”! Basketball and vaiious other congenial activities have overflowingly filled our “date” books. And then we took to song! But it was quite all right, for we took no unnecessary chances, but waited for a time of peace and good will and joined the Christmas Carollers. This singing was unique; everybody said so. Red tallow decorations are still to be seen adorning many “would-be Carollers” wraps. Was it sticky? Oh, no! Rumor hath it, however, ’29 will again seek laurel in another play later on in the season. Here’s hoping we will make old Mynderse proud of her class of ’29 this year and in the two yet awaiting us! J. C., ’29. Page 31 The History of the Class of 1930 8? One day last September, eighty-six very green freshmen entered Mynderse, determined to show the other classes what they could do. To accomplish this task they elected Justus Allen to be their president and Jack Cummings for their vice-president. Henry McCoy was chosen for the duties of secretary and treasurer. The colors decided upon to represent this very promising class are scarlet and silver. The only social event so far is a party which was a huge success. Almost the entire class attended and heartily appreciated the efforts of the several committees. Although this class is still very young, its members are determined to have the name of the famous Class of 1930 go down in the history of Mynderse. M. H. M. Page 33 f Review of Dramatics ¥ ! The first dramatic production for this year was the senior play, presented December 21, 1926. Miss Butcher selected the play “Seventeen” for the production, and this old favorite of Booth Tarkington’s proved a great success. Under Miss Butcher’s supervision the cast was chosen carefully from members of the class of ’27, with aid generously given and gratefully received from the Junior Class for two characters in the play. Each person seemed fitted for his particular part, which gave the popular drama a natural atmosphere very well carried out.

All the productions of the association are given in the auditorium of Mynderse Academy; and although so far this year only two plays have been presented, the life of the new society has been marked by numerous social functions and plans for the future. One act from that well-known Christmas drama, “The Bird’s Christmas Carol”, was presented by members of the association in Assembly on December twenty-second. The act given was that which describes the bustle of the Ruggles family while preparing to attend the Christmas party at the Bird mansion. The seven youngsters and their energetic mother presented a spectacle still laughed at when remembered around Mynderse. Page 37 4 ■' 33 % The second production, given March seventeenth, took the form of a public entertainment, consisting of two definite parts. The first half of the program was a “Merry Radio Hour,” which displayed the various talents to be found in the association. Musical numbers and recitations similar to a radio evening program made this new type of entertainment delightful. The second half of the program produced Booth Tarkington’s “Trysting Place”, which proclaimed itself an immediate success. The Dramatic Association is planning to extend and improve its work each year, and is constantly growing from the junior and senior groups. Under the able direction of Miss Teresa Compitello and Miss Elizabeth Ilumeston it now occupies a prominent place among the school activities. The program of the recent production was as follows: “THE MERRY RADIO HOUR” Announcer_____________________________________________Emerson Moran Orchestra__Mary Pratt, Richard Hosley, Frederick Fegley, Wallace Smith “Foolish Questions”_________________________Ellen Kuney, Mary Pratt “Minuet in G”_________________________________________Wallace Smith Orchestra “Amaryllis “Indian Love Call” Sopranos Altos Alice Alford Ethel Hayes Elizabeth Soper Leora Van Marter Gracie Thomas “A Critical Situation”__________________________________________Leah Wood Banjo Solo____________________________________________Richard Hosley Orchestra “THE TRYSTING PLACE” Mrs. Curtis____________________________________ Lancelot Briggs________________________________ Mrs. Briggs____________________________________ Jessie_________________________________________ Rupert Smith___________________________________ Mr. Ingolsby___________________________________ The Mysterious Voice__________________________ _____Nedra Ellis _ Emerson Moran __Marjorie Allen ___Irene Burrell Howard Compson ______Asa Smith Edwin Medden L.

O’Brien Page 41 Football 8? The 1926 football season marked the debut of Theodore Petersen, Syracuse, ’26, as coach of the Mynderse team, succeeding William C. Stevenson, who stood at the helm for two bright years in the football history of Mynderse. Coach Petersen was forced to reconstruct the line, demolished by the graduation of Reed, Reeder, Russel and Knight. An entire new backfield was needed to take the place of Burrell, Balsley, Rogers and Souhan. Material of suitable caliber was not plentiful and what there was of it was largely untried. Though Mynderse returned victorious in but one of the six games played, it must be remembered that the Blue and White faced the strongest high school elevens in Central New York and that all the games save one were played under the most wretched weather conditions possible. Mynderse opened the season with a 19-0 victory over Shortsville, but at Watkins Glen the next week, they lost the objective contest of both schools by the score of 0-12. The Waterloo game was lost when a Mynderse back stumbled, with a clear, though boggy field between himself and the goal. The Groton, Fulton and Weedspoit games were chalked against the local team because of the inability of Mynderse to cope with teams that not only out-weighed them but out-played them. It is almost certain that with nearly every player back next year, Mynderse will again be represented by a winning combination. With this end in view, McCoy, the sophomore center, was chosen to succeed “Bill” Matteson, senior, as captain.

At the beginning of the season, it was believed that Coach Theodore Petersen had whipped into shape a team that could compare favorably with their opponents. Indeed, it stalled as such, but in the first part of the season many of the regular players contracted disease or else became ineligible. Coach Petersen was unable to find enough experienced substitutes to bolster up the team. The boys tried hard but were unable to win consistently until the latter part of the season. As it was, Mynderse ended the season in fifth place in the league. The line up: FIRST TEAM Right Forward Left Forward _ Center _______ Left Guard____ Right Guard___ Burrell-Burtless Ireland A.

Their coach, Mr. Petersen, assisted by Miss Holbrook, has greatly improved the inexperienced material with which he had to cope at the beginning of the year. As a result, we are all expecting many victories for the team during the remainder of the basketball season. The scores of the games played so far were these: Mynderse-12 Mynderse-13 Mynderse-12 Mynderse-14 Mynderse-13 Mynderse-18 Mynderse-15 Mynderse-29 Phelps-5 Romulus-10 Penn Yan-29 Canandaigua-17 Waterloo-9 Penn Yan-8 Waterloo-17 Shortsville-15 ♦ The line-up is as follows: Elizabeth Burtless, Captain Leora Hurlburt____________ Doris Bachus _____________ Louise Anderson___________ Marjorie Allen____________ Gracie Thomas_____________ Substitutes: Luela Yells_______________ Faith Moran_______________ Ethel Hayes_______________ Margaret Soper____________ Emily Worden______________ Forward Forward Forward Guard Guard Guard Forward Forward Forward Guard Guard M. O. A., ’27 Page 49 Journalistic Group f :gv - Certainly Myndersian would be incomplete without a word about that fearless staff which has put the name of Mynderse before the public eye in printer’s ink. These dauntless seekers of news items even regret the time lost to pose for the honorable seniors. Though only since December has the world been informed of their existence, these nine who comprise the staff of the Mynderse column have since then worked lustily to bring the activities of Mynderse Academy to the knowledge of the world. Under the excellent supervision of Miss Teresa Compitello, these students freely give their time to make Mynderse Academy and the school affairs known to the people of the outer world. Those rejoicing in the i name of the journalistic staff are known around Mynderse as Inez Kelly, who is also editor-in-chief of the Year Book; Hodge Kelley, the business manager of the Mynderse basketball team; Margaret Haley, whose power of description is surpassed by none; Edwin Medden, the fiery junior; Emerson Moran and “Bud” Burrell of athletic fame; Elizabeth Davis, our talented post-graduate; William Fuess, the practical joker of the school; and Doris Wilkes. All these have been striving for the sake of Mynderse Academy, and we are sure will continue to do their best until they leave old Mynderse behind and bravely seek glory in the wide, wide world. D.
