In a few weeks we will be graduated and so it is that we relive in spirit those days gone by since we first entered Mynderse. Freshmen days were times of utter confusion until we had our first meeting and very sensibly elected Gladys McCoy to lead us, with Jack Fyfe and Richard Ashton assisting. Miss Wagner, Miss Caldwell, Mr. Davidson and Mr. Wor-muth helped us to give an amusing masquerade, our first social venture. Then remembering the importance of finance, we sponsored a benefit movie, and brought our first year's activities to a successful ending. Chapter one was closed. Sophomore Year we elected Jack Fyfe as our president and Miss Cushman, Miss Vreeland, Miss Smith and Mr. Wormuth as our faculty advisers. Our party in honor of the post graduates was largely attended and very gay. This was followed later in the year by our benefit movies at the Strand Theatre, and the joyous picnic at Enna Jettick Park, in June, which ended our Sopho- more activities. Half of our high school days were behind, the less eventful half, and Junior Year was at hand. Mary Haley, president, Glenn Hamilton, vice-president, and Sylvia Gustafson, secretary and treasurer, were our Junior officers. Early in the year we entertained the classes at a masquerade in the gym, and later we gave the Seniors an informal reception that we upperclassmen might become better acquainted. The second semester brought two major events—our play and the prom. The first, TheCall of the Banshee,'- through the untiring efforts of Miss Hathaway, was acclaimed the most successful characterization ever staged at Mynderse, and the prom—well, let me tell you about it. With the assistance of our advisers, Miss Compitello, Miss Miller, Mr. Baker and Mr. Brumagim, we decided to turn the gym into a moonlit Hawaiian scene with lofty palms and soft breezes. We had the usual difficulties; for the sky was too cloudy and the stars wouldn't twinkle through properly; but we did achieve the soft breezes, and aside from that palm that Mr. Baker painted, an atmosphere suggestive of leis and pounding surfs. The two hundred guests who danced to the strains of Don Davidson's zo e jSa z orchestra thoroughly enjoyed the party. The patrons and patronesses at the Prom were Mr. and Mrs. Hubert Mott, Mr. and Mrs. Frank Vogel, Miss Julia O'Brien, Miss Teresa Compitello and Mr. Robert Brumagim. Another year and September found us Seniors occupying coveted seats in Room 19; however, this room would be incomplete without the smiling face of our friendly adviser, Miss O'Brien, who we knew would guide us safely to our goal, graduation. Other Senior officers chosen were Helmar Nelson, president; Lucille Muldoon, vice-president; Bernard Vergamini, secretary; Gladys McCoy, treasurer. Our formal tea-dance in September opened the social year at Mynderse with our mothers and the faculty, guests of honor. Everyone was there but the football coaches and squad who successfully resisted the lure of Eddie's Knights of Rhythm and our pink tea. Was it an attractive party? Well, we did our best by having the Senior officers on line and Miss Grover pouring tea in a gym bright with our autumnal colors, brown and gold. Then came our play, The Tightwad,” which was presented two nights in November. Lucille Muldoon, Ida Share, Gladys McCoy, Helmar Nelson, Glenn Hamilton, and Donald Saunders had the leading roles in this amusing comedy. The entrance of the Swedish servants stopped the show each night; for who had ever seen anything funnier than their costumes and make-up? Everyone in the well-chosen cast deserved praise for the finished performances which were directed by Miss Hathaway, dramatic coach. The play was a financial as well as artistic success. Following the play, interest centered in our holiday ball with its forest of lighted trees, hundreds of bright balloons and merry guests—another Senior triumph. One of our final class gestures is to present our 1931 Mytulersian to Miss Vreeland on her birthday, in this her thirty-fifth year as a teacher in Seneca Falls, in recognition of her years of service to our community. We hope that she and you, our readers, will enjoy this story of our Mynderse life which we have tried to give you in eloquent pictures and words. Plans are underway to celebrate our annual's success at a formal dinner party Prom Night, in June, at which those favored by MynJersian dedications will lie honor guests. These dedicatees include Miss O'Brien, Mr. Hamilton, Mr. Mott, Mr. Vogel, Mr. Baker, Miss Hathaway and Miss Vreeland. With our year-book successfully completed, gay commencement plans in the making, four years at Mynderse practically passed, 1931’s life story is told. 2.1 JUNIOR CLASS HISTORY And so having reached the third milestone in the path of high school education, we are Juniors. We are taking those subjects which seemed so insuperable two years ago, and perhaps still seem so. We have become permanently established in Mvnderse life and have each one of us found our niche and our special friends. As Freshmen we were herded on our way managing only to elect officers: John Cousins, president; Prudence Wilson, vice-president; and Charles Campbell, secretary and treasurer. We did give ourselves a successful party in the gymnasium, and ten of our classmates represented 1933 in athletics. Before we realized it, we were Sophomores. Our Sophomore Year was a hard one. We philosophically accepted the fact that money would be hard to get, and devoted ourselves to excelling in various Mynderse activities such as athletics, journalism, and music. We elected Marian Story, Eugene Sullivan, and Donald Knox as our class officers. Certainly our party, at which the post graduates were guests, was a huge success. The year ended uneventfully, and with Regents safely over, we entered that idealized world of upperclassmen. As Juniors, we selected officers who could successfully lead us through this, our most eventful year: Edward Hamill, president; Helen Hadley, vice-president; and Victor Aronson, secretary and treasurer; with Miss Riley, Miss Hathaway, Mr. Brumagim, and Mr. Baker as class advisers. Our all-school masquerade gave everyone a good time, besides encouraging our sadly depleted treasury. Who can forget the spookiness of the gymnasium and the weird costumes? Again we have been well represented in extra-curricular activities. We know that our play will unearth hidden talent which will make Mynderse proud of ’33. A bigger and a better prom is our motto, and we shall close our third year at Mynderse in a burst of glory and will try ever so hard to fill successfully the place that 1932. is leaving. zz SOPHOMORE HISTORY Two years old! Well, even if it doesn't sound very aged, the Class of 1954, nevertheless, has had another birthday since the last Myndersian and has achieved a new title, that of Sophomores. They feel that they have gained more than a new label—they have acquired poise, something that no one ever dreamed of attributing to them last year when they made up the largest class in Mynderse and wandered around in a daze —wondering what it was all about. It would be difficult to explain how one year in high school could make such a difference in a group, but it’s an undeniable fact that exposure to the influences at work, scholastic and social, have dignified these erstwhile Freshmen. Some of the more carefree and irresponsible, of course, fell the victims of that ogre. Regents; the survivers are occupying the Sophomore rooms under the supervision of Miss Vreeland, Miss Smith, Miss Miller ana Mr. Wormuth, their class advisers. As an evidence that this class is progressive, it was necessary for them to hold two elections; the first set of officers with whom 1932. started the year waxed brilliant and joined thejuniors in January; so after the second election, the Sophomore officers are Philip Wycker, president; Mary Bishop, vice-president; and John Toomey, secretary and treasurer. Both boys and girls of the second year group have been very active in the high school extra-curricular activities; such as athletics, dramatics, music, home economics projects and journalism. Of these, probably athletics claims a larger Sophomore representation than that of any other activity: with seven girls and five boys on the basketball squads; thirteen boys on the football, and five on the baseball squads. Among these boys are several letter men; so it would seem that the Class of 1934 is one from whom much may be expected in their remaining years at Mynderse. The Seniors are rooting for their sister class of whom they are justly proud. 2-3 rviSiAs FRESHMEN GIRLS 1935’s OFFICERS Robert Irland...............................................................President Viola Minor ..........................................................

O'Brien Since the first Myndersian, born of the genius of the Class of 192.5, the annual publication of the Seniors has been one of the most outstanding highlights of each year's activities. We, the Class of 1932., under the efficient direction and with the inspiring cooperation of Miss O'Brien, are emphasizing education as the theme of this book in which we are trying to keep to the standards of recent Myndersians. Last year's annual, the first of our books to De entered in the National Scholastic Press Association Contest, received a Second Honor Rating, a signal honor for any school publication, and a distinct challenge to the 1932. staff—a challenge which we have gladly accepted. This year's annual has refinements in year-book planning which we feel will add to the artistic and literary content of the publication and will meet with the approval of our subscribers. :l8 Lucille Muldoon Gladys McCoy Catherine Casey Raymond Fitzgerald Marion Thompson Virginia Giusti Sylvia Gustafson Angeline Ortino Fausto Calarco Violet Stone Helmar Nelson Mafalda Cefaratti Marjorie Lucke Back Row—Peck, Spaid, Share, Giusti, Baker, Muldoon, Compitello, Adviser Hadley, Smith, Gustafson, Sanderson, Coffin Front Row—Palumbo, Rumsey, Story, McCoy, Bracht, Aronson, Haley Marion Story Helen Baker Virginia Giusti Anita Palumbo Jack Bracht Five years of success lie behind the Mynderse Microphone. Each succeeding staff has tried by adopting new features to provide variety and interest and improve the paper. Two years ago the Microphone was accepted as a member of the Eastern Interscholastic Press Association, an exceptional accomplishment for a publication of its size. The Microphone is an active member of the Quill and Scroll Society, a national honorary journalistic group. Several Microphone staff entrants have received high honors in national and sectional contests sponsored bv this society in the past. The new staff members have been the highest graded entrants in the competitive examinations conducted by the paper. The publication of this bi-weekly sheet is done by a group selected according to scholastic standings and journalistic abilities working under the svpervision of Miss Compitello who has been responsible for the success of the paper from its beginning.

Adviser; Luckc, Casey, Giusti, Stone WIG y OUGE On September zj, 19 0, a group of young actors rvjet in the Mynderse auditorium to revive the original Dramatic Club under the new name of Wig and Rouge. Membership in the club was limited to Prize Speakers, students who had played major parts in plays, and to the mechanical and business staff of any Mynderse production. Willard Fohl was chosen to play the leading r61e of president; Grace Hudson became the ingenue vice-president; Margaret Strong was prompter; while the villain, David Fegley, played Shylock and demanded shekels and Miss Hathaway acted as director. With this group playing, Wig and Rouge started its first act for the purpose of furthering the interest of public speaking and dramatics in Mynderse Academy. This year, the girls presented Joint Owners in Spain,” while the boys entertained the assembly on the same day with It Will Be All Right on the Night.” And so the curtain closed on Act I. Act II of Wig and Rouge, in September, 1931, found Samuel Sly playing the lead; Fausto Calarco, Sam's understudy; Gladys McCoy, the prompter; and the villain, Glenn Hamilton, still pursued the members for dues. Three plays were presented to the public on December 17: The Maker of Dreams, a fantasy; Solitaire, a Christmas comedy; and The Valiant, a drama. In February the club held its initiation and shortly after members were displaying shiny, new Wig and Rouge pins bearing the two masks representing comedy and tragedy. This year the club has studied the art of make-up. On March 4 the Wig and Rouge girls presented Sardines,” a one-act comedy, and on March 11, the boys gave Myndersians their advice in Winning an Heiress.” And then the final curtain closed on a successful group of young Thespians and Act II of Wig and Rouge. 3° Back Row—Con key, Knox, Dombrowski, Hamill, Sly, Kelley, VanCIeef, Chalker, Halladay Second Row—Share, Smith, Larsen, Mott, Steiger vaId, Adviser; Vogel, Finn, Wilson, Minor Front Row—Lucke, Toomev, Ferguson, Jones, Jcnner ACANTHUS Acanthus, which now consists of twenty members, was founded by Mrs. Steigerwald in 19x9. As the Greeks came nearer perfection in their art than any other people, we chose Acanthus, the ancient Greek decorative motif, as our name. The aim of this organization is to uphold beauty in every form, to strive to introduce it into our surroundings, and to work to become better acquainted with the art of the past and the present. This year has been a very active one in our club. At the September meeting, Mrs. Steigerwald gave an interesting account of her European travels last summer. She also presented the club with two Acanthus leaves which she had obtained near Hadrian's villa at Rome. From December 10 to the 18th, a Christmas gift sale was held on the second floor of Mynderse Academy. Objects for sale included various articles decorated by members of the club, and also an attractive collection of novelties which were imported from Japan. A tea dance, sponsored by Le Cercle Fran ais and Acanthus, filled the gymnasium with a gay crowd on February 3. From February 19 until March 4, an art exhibit was held which included one hundred and fifty reproductions of old and modern masterpieces of American and European schools of art. On May 13, Acanthus sponsored an assembly at which Professor R. E. Jackman, noted art critic and author, spoke. The closing feature of the year was the annual banquet in honor of the Seniors of the organization, who were presented with the customary farewell gift from the club. The prize for the best art work of the year, a Sx. o gold piece, and also letters, were awarded at this time. Acanthus officers for 193X are Paul Ferguson, president; John Toomey, vice-president; Marjorie Lucke, secretary; Robert Jones, treasurer; Dorothy Jenner, publicity chairman; Mrs. R. E.

The aim of the club is to stimulate interest in French and to make students of French familiar with the customs of France. Only those who have successfully completed one year of French are eligible for membership. October twenty-seventh of this school year the club renewed its activities under the competent guidance of Miss Riley, our new French instructor. The officers elected to carry out this year’s program were Catherine Casey, president, and Marion Story, secretary and treasurer. The first social event of the year took place December 19. At this time the new members of the French II class were welcomed into the club's membership. The committee under Gladys McCoy provided a luncheon with a French menu and a very interesting program of French games. In February the Cercle joined with its sister club, the Acanthus, in sponsoring a silver tea dance to which all students and faculty were invited. Miss Riley presided at the tea table which was attractive with its glistening silver and colorful flowers. The tea was largely attended and everyone enjoyed Eddie Hamill's orchestra which furnished music for the party. Later in the year the skit, Rosalie, was presented by three members of the club, Marion Thompson, Sylvia Gustafson, and Virginia Giusti. The Cercle has for its insignia an attractive pin representing the national flower of France, the fleur-de-lis, bearing the name LeCercle Francais. The club closed its year's activities by having a picnic organized in regular French style. rc k -1 HEARTH CLUB Go where he will the Wise man is at home, His hearth, the earth, His ball, the azure dome. --EMERSON We have our art, our language, our dramatic and our musical clubs and recently, our homemaking club. In October, 1931, a few interested homemakers of the Home Economics Department gathered to form a club with a membership of thirty-one. The question of a suitable name was solved in Hearth, which means the fireside and the radiant center of home life. Our program for the year is the fascinating and revealing study of the food and clothing of foreign nations. The purpose of Hearth” is best described in the club motto: We study not for school, but for life, health, home and happiness. True to tradition, pleasure has interfered with business since our organization and we had a most enjoyable Hallowe'en party for the members in October. In January came a club dinner, at which time, Mr. Vogel and Mr. Mott welcomed the entrance of such an interesting club into Mynderse activities. In February, we held a tea for the mothers and friends of the girls. Our program committee has planned many more novel programs for Hearth members and friends to enjoy during the later spring months. Mynderse will hear more of Hearth in the years to come. Much of this credit is due to our two faithful and capable advisers, Miss Caldwell and Miss Johnson, and to our officers: Marie Teall, president; Rosalie Russell, vice-president; Louise Wiley, secretary; Evelyn Teall, treasurer. The chairmen of committees are Louise Wiley, refreshment; Janet Larzelere, entertainment; Valerie Clark, constitution and by-laws; Rosalie Russell, program; Virginia Stubbs, publicity. 33 fv 5s MEMBERS OF THE BAND Mr. John C.

He has discovered much'latent musical talent, and we are justly proud of this organization which has made various creditable public appearances on important school occasions. Their big band concert, given March 15, was a signal success. Through Mr. Fraser’s efforts, one of the district elimination contests to determine w inners for the New York State Band Contest was held in Mynderse Academy, April 11 and 2.3. Over thirty musical organizations, among them our band, participated, bringing to Seneca Falls probably the largest organized group of young musicians that the town has ever seen. This year Mr. Fraser has also taken over the direction of the twenty piece orchestra which has shown definite improvement as it has gained in experience. The addition of several instruments from the band has effected better balance and depth of tone. The orchestra has been active in assembly programs, the class plays, the musical comedy, and in the Parent-Teachers' meetings. Eesides the orchestra and band, we have the boys' and girls' glee clubs, numbering 77, with Miss Bryant, supervisor of music, in charge. These clubs are organized on the basis of Regents' credit, and both groups have made public appearances for the Parent-Teachers’ Association program in February, and the musical comedy, Oh, Doctor, in Februarv. They also assisted at the band concert, singing several numbers of which Non Nobis, and Skye Boat Song of the girls' club and Old Man Noah of the boys' club were very well received. 35 THE TEACHERS’ CLUB The Teachers' Club, although functioning less formally this year, has, nevertheless, some activities to record. October brought the first social meeting, to greet the new members with a weiner roast at the lake. Miss Cronin as chairman was responsible for this success. A Hallowe'en dinner at Tamarack Inn with Miss Hathaway in charge provided a program wherein sedate and sober teachers appeared in strange guises. Miss Lloyd, with her committee, arranged a most enjoyable Christmas party at Canoga in which a chicken dinner, appropriate carols and later bridge featured. The next party with Mr. Baker in charge, likewise held at Canoga, proved most entertaining with its comedy skits. Miss Riley, a new member, heads the committee for the June banquet which will close the calendar for this year. The more serious aspects have not been neglected, however, as during February each teacher contributed a day's salary to the local unemployment fund. Thus the main purpose of the club, to promote a general spirit of interest between teachers and outside activities as well, is being sustained. Mr. Harold Taylor, president; Miss Mary Miller, vice-president; Miss Louise Menegay, secretary; Miss Edith VanOrden, treasurer, comprise the list of officers. ALUMNI ASSOCIATION The present Alumni Association began activities in 192.8 when officers were elected for a term of two years. At the organization meeting in 1930, the following officers were chosen: Mr. Fred L. Story, president; Mr. Francis Souhan, vice-president; Miss Dorothy Adamy, secretary; and Miss Lucy Cardwell, treasurer. That there is a definite interest in the reunion of Mynderse graduates and former pupils of the school was evidenced by the large number who came from near and far to the alumni dinner dance at the Hotel Gould, December 2.9, 1931. About 140 members were present to enjoy the holiday banquet and the excellent program provided by Mr. Robert S. Pollard, '14, and his committee. President Story welcomed the guests, and Mr. Francis Murphy as toastmaster introduced the other speakers: Miss Julia H. O'Brien, head of the English Department at Mynderse Academy and faculty adviser to the Seniors, who welcomed last June's graduates into the association; William Hamill, president of the 1931 class, who made the response; Mrs. Lewis Sheridan of Syracuse who gave a facetious travel talk, and C. Willard Rice, a former superintendent of schools in Seneca Falls, who delivered the principal address. Mr. Mott had charge of the singing. After the banquet, dancing was enjoyed with music furnished by Easton’s orchestra. The committee that made the banquet a success were, besides the chairman, Mr. Pollard, Miss Lucy Cardwell, Miss Dorothy Adamy, and Mr. Francis Souhan. 36 37 Physical education is concerned, first, with the organization and leadership of children in big muscle activities, o gain the development and the adjustment inherent in the activities; and, second, with the control of health conditions naturally associated with the leadership of the activities.

Fiorelli, Nicot, Mastroleo, Wheat, Wycker, C. Swanson, VanEtten, Fitzgerald FOOTBALL Mynderse ended the 1931 football season, one of the most gratifying in recent years, with a victory over the alumni. In winning six games and losing two, Mynderse compiled 116 points to her opponents' 43. Coach Arthur Baker installed a new system, the Notre Dame Shift, this year. After comparatively poor showings in the first two games, the line-up was shifted and rejuvenated and a very satisfactory combination was the result. With the return of nine letter men. Coaches Baker and Wormuth had a nucleus around which to build a team; and although a number of substitutes gained hard earned positions, the mainstays were largely those who had played before. On the line, Romeo, right guard, Ken Swanson, at tackle, and Knox at center gave the most satisfactory showings, while VanCleef in the backfield was a tower of strength on both the offense and defense. However, all the credit for our victories cannot be given to three or four men; for the good team-work and cooperation shown by every one on the squad was a vital and dominating factor. The first game proved that Mynderse at her worst was better than Clyde, and the defeat at Caledonia the next week was one of those off days that are experienced by any team. For the next game, however, the boys picked up; and although they lost to a superior Geneva team by a 14-0 score, their spirit remained undaunted and they came back by gaining five straight victories.

After two weeks of practice the season began with our decisive victory over Newark. Christian Brothers Academy of Syracuse handed us our first defeat in a close game packed with excitement. Penn Yan and the Alumni were taken easily in the next two games. Then came the game with Geneva, on the latter's court. Geneva merged victor. This was the start of a five-game loss: Canandaigua, Baldwinsville, Lyons, and Geneva, respectively. Canandaigua was next on our schedule and in an overtime period we won bv a point. Palmyra and Penn Yan were added to our list of victories, while Newark, Wayne County champions, handed us a one-sided defeat. Onondaga Valley, the last game, was another defeat for Myn-derse making 8 victories and 8 defeats. SUMMARY Mynderse . ii Newark .... 13 Mynderse . 34 Onondaga Valley 9 Mynderse . 16 C. B.

With heads high and hearts hopeful, they fought their best against their opponents to come smiling through their defeats; for out of the nine games played, none was a victory for the Mynderse girls in point of scores, but all of them were in point of spirit. The team is composed chiefly of underclassmen. There are only four Senior members of the squad, some of whom may come back next year; so the prospects for 1933 are bright. Since the past year has been, more or less, one of training for experience, our coach, Mr. Baker, gave all the members of the squad some playing experience, so that next year we shall be able to start off with a winning six.

Coach Baker, because of great competition among the players, faced the difficulty of picking out nine men to represent Mynderse on the diamond. Mynderse's first game was with Auburn, who defeated the Blue and White after a hard game by the score of 5 to z. After a week of strenuous practice, Mynderse journeyed to Geneva. In this game our team proved that they could fight. After trailing behind by an 8 to 5 score, they came back in the seventh inning and scored five runs; however, Geneva, not to be out-played, scored two runs, the game ending in the tenth inning with 10 to 10 tie. Mynderse lost the next two games to Penn Yan by 8 to 7, and to Auburn by zo to z. On June 5, Geneva came to Seneca Falls for a return game to avenge the tied game. This was Mynderse's day. Mynderse started off by scoring 3 runs in the first inning, a lead which was enough to win the game, but for good measure she added another run in the fourth inning, winning the game 4 to z. On June iz, Mynderse journeyed to Penn Yan to avenge her first defeat. She was leading 6 to z in the fourth inning, but wildness in the box and errors gave Penn Yan 5 runs and the game, 7 to 6. Mynderse ended the season by being defeated by the Alumni, composed of former Mynderse stars, by the score of 5 to 4.

As this was the first time this sport was attempted here, the results were as good as could be hoped for under the conditions. The team selected Roy Jones as manager and Lee Giusti as their captain. The Seneca Falls Driving Club gladly gave the team the use of their track. The group that reported for the team, while inexperienced, was eager to learn; and some of them rounded into shape nicely after three weeks of training. The boys were entered in three meets so that they could gain experience by competing against other schools. The first was held here between Mynderse and Geneva, which the visitors won easily; but Mynderse scored three first places through the efforts of Captain Giusti, Clayton Hoster and Harrison Walker, who won the broad jump, half-mile and mile runs respectively. Second and third places brought Myn-derse's score up to 52. points. Geneva scored 54. The coaches were pleased that the team made such a good showing against an experienced team. The next meet was the Enjoie-Health meet held at Endicott. Mynderse competed in Class C and through the efforts of Giusti in the broad jump, and of the half-mile relay team, composed of Scott, Cousins, Semmons and Byrne, finished ninth in Class C, ahead of several other schools among which were Cathedral Academy of Albany and Naples High School which have had championship teams for several years. The latter school was expected to win the distance events. In the last meet, the Finger Lakes Sectional at Canandaigua, in May, our boys tried hard but were outclassed by the other teams, Mynderse being the only school represented that was just starting this sport. 46 eViStAi ATHLETIC AWARDS 1931-32 LETTER AWARDS Football 1931 Prescano, Captain; Nugent, K.

There were graduated sixteen young women and eight young men. Little did the vice-president of the class dream of the part she was destined to play in the educational activities of her own village as on that memorable afternoon she listened to the invocation pronounced by the Rev. I. M. Newland, pastor of the Baptist church; to the remarks made by Commissioner Henry Stowell of the Board of Education; to the orations and essays of her fellow classmates; for each member took some part in the exercises, or as she delivered her own essay on A Woman’sReason. Thirty-five years of service! That span of time seems long or short according to the viewpoint of the observer. To look forward thirty-five years seems almost as looking into eternity. In 1894, when Miss Vreeland became a member of the faculty of the Seneca Falls schools, the average length of human life was ap- proximately of that duration. To look backward, however, it seems only a short time; but as yesterday. But what changes have taken place during this period of years in the physical and educational character of our district and in the personnel of the members. For many years after the formation of our district, it was operated under a special act of the Legislature, instead of under the general school law as at present. The Board of Education consisted of seven members, six of whom were nominated by the political parties of our town and elected at the annual town meeting held in March. The village president, ex officio, made the seventh member. There were four public and one parochial school buildings in use as at present. Three of the public schools have been replaced by new buildings, and the building used by St. Patrick's parish has been entirely remodeled. The Fourth Ward building remains practically as of old. Miss Vreeland's first teaching was done in the old First Ward, a building low and frowning, with a worn door sill and Jack Knife's carved initials, with insufficient light and heat and no ventilation. Still with Mr. Porter as superintendent, Miss Harriet Chatham as principal and enthusiastic co-workers, she was happy in her work, teaching successively the third, fourth, and fifth grades. Later, because of her superior ability to instruct and to control, she was transferred to the eighth grade in Mynderse Academy, which in those days must have seemed an Eden, with its larger, lighter rooms. 5° Again she was fortunate in being associated with superior teachers, among whom may be mentioned Miss Linda T. Drake, principal, Miss Blanche R. Daniels, Mrs. Rheua Wickes Medden, Miss Mary Viele, Mrs. Julia Weigman, Miss Grace Flower Williams, and Miss Grace Irene Williams. Mr. Charles T. Andrews had succeeded to the superintendency upon the death of Mr. Porter, who died in the service. Her next promotion was to the faculty of the academic department where she has remained to the present time. While in those days the teacher's remuneration was low, the majority of those employed were Home-town girls, graduates of our local academy and intensely interested in the welfare of the boys and girls under their care and direction. The curricula was limited. There was no music, no drawing in which there was Regents’ count, no commercial courses and home economics, no librarian or other special teacher. One of the great events of the year was the Junior Prize Rehearsals held in the evening of commencement day. Long before the hour of the contest, a large part of Seneca Falls would climb to the third story of the academy, filling not only every available seat, but would crowd the window sills, and corridors. After the contest, Mr. McCarthy and the Senior boys cleared the floor for dancing. Light refreshments in the form of punch was furnished by the Board of Education. Thirty-five years of service as a teacher in the schools of Seneca Falls! What a debt of gratitude we owe to one who has given the best of herself that our boys and girls might become better men and women. It would be difficult to count the number of these students who have come within the sphere of Miss Vreeland's influence in her long years in both the grade and high school departments; but if those hundreds of young people might pass in review, what an army of youth they would make. Someone has penned the following. It sums up in better form the work of our teachers and especially the years of service of Miss Vreeland, than can the words of the writer of this article: A builder builded a temple, He wrought it with grace and skill; Pillars and groins and arches, All fashioned to work his will. Men said as they saw its beauty “It shall never know decay. Great is thy skill, 0 builder: Thy fame shall endure for aye. A teacher builded a temple With loving and infinite care. Planning each arch with patience, Laying each stone with prayer. None praised her unceasing efforts, None knew of her wondrous plan, For the temple the teacher builded Was unseen by the eyes of man. Gone is the builder's temple, Crumbled into the dust; Low lies each stately pillar, Food for consuming rust, But the temple the teacher builded Will last while the ages roll For that beautiful, unseen temple Is a child's immortal soul. FREDERICK J. MEDDEN 51 THE OLD ORDER CHANGETH A gate slams in front of a house, and a graceful bit of girlhood skips hastily down the path, her dark braids trying to escape their fluttering, blue ribbons. Her spotless, sprigged, muslin dress is covered with a dainty, rufiled apron, and she clasps her school books to her. At the corner, she turns to wave goodbye, and her dark eyes sparkle with life and spirit. Hark! The school bell sounds faintly in the distance. The little maid quickens her pace, but has no compunctions about being late; for she knows that Mike McCarthy, the kind-hearted janitor, will toll the bell as long as there is a child in sight. She can see the tower now and the familiar town clock pointing to eight-thirty. Before long the building looms up. It is a three-story, brick edifice whose walls are partially covered with thick growing vines. This building has the usual conventional school rooms, a tiny library, a laboratory, and an assembly room. Perhaps the most popular part of the school is the famous east door, a rendezvous” for certain gay groups of upperclassmen. Nestling close to this imposing structure, as if for protection, is the First Ward school, where the three R’s are laboriously taught to painstaking little folk. This little school maid of the 90's does not dread the day; for she likes all of the three teachers and the principal. The one thing she fears is the mischievous boys and what they may do. Her braids still have a bluish tinge from the day before when a daring youth had wickedly tried to drown the curly ends in the inkwell. Luckily, today, nothing happens to upset her decorum except the unearthly squeak which comes at intervals, as a boy's foot chances to hit the clock spring cleverly concealed under the leg of the desk. Of course, there is the more or less constant fear of what an exploring hand may encounter in the desk; for the school boys of her room have a rather robust sense of humor, and enjoy feminine reactions to some of their practical jokes. Algebra starts the day. Our little school girl likes it, and her intelligent face is bright with interest as she works out her problems. Rhetoric is rather dull; but, being a conscientious student, she puts her mind to it, and her neatly diagrammed sentences are held up as a model to the rest of the class. Before she realizes it, the bell on the teacher's desk tinkles for recess. This is one of the happiest hours of the day; for it is then that she and the other girls go out under the friendly elms to spend their few minutes of recreation in jumping rope, roller skating, or playing games. Under the drooping syringa bushes, next door, the little girls are playing dolls, and many are the disdainful glances cast in their direction. So let us leave this young school girl of the 90's to childish dreams and beautiful castles in the air. The old order changeth, yielding place to new. Our scene has changed but little. It is still Mynderse Academy, but Mynderse as we of 1931 know it. The school is now a modern, fireproof building having well lighted class rooms, a large library, two well equipped laboratories, a gymnasium, and a spacious auditorium. An electric bell, with no solicitous janitor behind it, calls the students to classes, and woe to him who is en retard”; for tardiness has become a serious offense, subject to strict penalty. A faculty of about twenty-five supervises school hours; and extra-curricular activities, in connection with journalism, dramatics, art, music and French, make 52- THE OLD ORDER CHANGETH Continued the modern school day a busy one. The systematic physical education, with well-trained teams to represent the school and create a spirit of cooperation and sportsmanship, is in sharp contrast with the old command, Windows open; hands on hips; deep-knee bend.” Modern ventilation and yearly examinations under the supervision of a school nurse and dental hygienist aid perfect attendance as well as healthy living. However, we still have a tangible link w'ith the school our parents loved; for one of the classrooms is presided over by this same school girl, wrho forty years ago skipped down the path in her dainty starched dress. The years have treated her gently. Although her beautiful hair is as white as new fallen snow, her dark eyes still snap w ith an understanding twinkle as she remembers that she, too, was once a school girl, f he has a smile for everyone; her reproach is never sharp, but gently disapproving as she pleads w ith the carefree girls and boys to be Sophomores. The most indifferent student tries to please her, if only to win her smile of approval. Although it is now called English i, the subject which she teaches corresponds in part to the rhetoric she studied. She teaches it with the same serenity and simplicity with which she studied it, and enlivens the classics with clippings and her personal experiences. Perhaps she is only realizing the hardships of her position when she so often exclaims, Stars to Betsy.” The whole room has an atmosphere distinctly different from the busy air of the library or the noisiness of the halls, an atmosphere of serenity and homelike comfort. Her popularity is unusual. Pupils whom she has safely delivered to another teacher, drop in to discuss the pleasures and problems of high school life. Each class brings her pupils who, despite their short skirts and bobbed hair, or long trousers and crewnecked sweaters, remind her vividly of their parents, who w’ent through the treadmill with her. They are filled with the same mischievous motives and the same loyalty to their school. She is one of them; her unfailing interest, attractive personality and noble characteristics have won Miss Vreeland a place in Mynderse hearts which is unique. The softer charm that in her manner lies Is framed to captivate, yet not surprise, It justly suits the expression of her face,— 'Tis less than dignity, and more than grace! MARION STORV, ’33 53 PROPHECY When the Editor-in-chief looked me sternly in the eye and said something about the deadline on prophecies being February first, I realized for the first time my responsibilities. How did one write prophecies, especially about fifty-eight people? 1 thought and thought, then slumping into a more comfortable position, I dozed and found myself in New York, one day in 1952., strolling down Fifth Avenue, thinking as I gazed at new and imposing buildings how the city changes face. Across the front of one white stone building flashed the words, “Fitzgerald, Largest Chain Grocery Store of World. Knowing Ray's chain, I entered and turned toward the president’s private elevator intending to visit Ray, when I heard a calm voice at my side say, “Miss Deary, I am pleased with your new window decorations. Can you redress window' number 18 this afternoon for Cefaratti’s Canned Coral Codfish? 1 contracted to run a special this week, and Mafalda’s products are very popular. Looking around I saw Marie Teall, general manager of Ray’s New York store. With her was Jane Deary, foremost window dresser of New York City. After a chat with them, I followed Marie’s directions to Ray’s pent house apartment. When I walked into the foyer, there were Harold Leet and his wife, the former Mile. Lucke, buyer for New' York patrons of Chez Falcone. Harold was awkwardly assisting Marjorie with her wrap. His right hand was strapped to his side, the result of one of his very near disastrous experiments in the cause of aerial science. Entering the living room w'ith them, 1 beheld a very gay party waiting for tea. By the window stood Dorothy Whelpley, the novelist whose books are so different. Dorothy won’t tell even Henry Iredale, her closest friend, the source of her inspiration. Iredale himself is an artist unsurpassed in his vocation. Ray’s whole apartment is tastefully and surprisingly furnished in accordance with plans designed in Henry's studios. Seated cozily around a fantastic circular fireplace were four women discussing Chase Traver’s latest book of poetry. The question debated was whether or not Chase's success had reached its meridian. Miss Brower, well-known literary critic, had been reading verses she considered capable of being improved. Mme. Marion Merrill de Vosges, widow of the late French multi-millionaire, held the same opinion as Miss Brower; but Miss Helen Keefer and Mrs. Mary Haley Ferguson had been warmly contesting the criticism. However, Miss Keefer, the painter whose tropical murals are made famous by the Iredale studios, was at the point of concession; but Mrs. Ferguson, history professor at an eastern college for women, still held her former view. I was marveling at Mary’s ability in satisfactorily playing the parts of teacher and wife, when her husband spoke, at my elbow. Paul has leased the upper floors of the new Chalker Tower for his famous dancing studios. His problem is to renew a contract with the composer and director, Carl Swanson. Carl has no worries because his variety and genius are so outstanding that musk lovers predict his enduring popularity. Now all eyes are attracted to the door to see our host enter with Catherine Casey. Catherine is the head of the best advertising agency of New York. Just before I left, Ray read a cable to the assembled group. It was from Kenneth 54 i'OStAj Swanson, who with his wife, Mary Wildner, is stationed at Kahawoki, a military post in the East. The cable asked Ray to send a recently ordered ship load of provisions to the new post and stated that air mail was bringing a little Chinese dog that Mary had trained for Rav, Jr. Going down in the elevator, the elevator guard told us of an attempted robbery in the building. Doctor Ryck and Ettore Morganti, the house detective, had just left the would-be-thief awaiting the arrival of an ambulance. Morganti has been in Fitzgerald's employ for years, and Joe had been checking the store's employment health test when he was needed for the emergency. As I left the store, I saw a private ambulance backing up to the door. A small plate on the door read, Samuel Sly—Ambulances and Hearses.” Sam's factory is now the largest corporation building ambulances and hearses in the United States. I bought a New York Times and jumped into a taxi bearing the name Giusti's Service,” one of Virginia’s famous white fleet. I glanced at the paper. The double photograph on the front page was of Dorothy Jenner and Edward LaDue, prominent foreign journalists of the Times who had been married recently. When the taxi slowed momentarily, 1 saw the new Chalker Tower. It was built bv Kendall Chalker, the wall street wizard, but it is whispered that his remarkable success is due to his wife, Violet Stone Chalker, who has the keenest business mind in the family. Passing the Hamiltonian, Glenn’s new theatre, I decided to attend the evening performance where eight graduates of Mynderse were featured. The name Giannotti drew my attention to a headline which heralded the return of our ambassador to Italy. For five years, Ezio has served his country in this capacity. Bruna Giovannetti, his secretary, is accompanying him. Scanning the congressional news, I was interested to see Senator Saunder's speech in behalf of world-wide free trade. Opposed to Saunders in the coming election will be Stanley Rowland who declares that, if elected, he will prevent the financial crash predicted for 1952.. The last time 1 saw Donald Saunders, he told me Kevin Bvrne, principal of the combined high schools of Seneca Falls and Waterloo, had announced the winning of the championship and sportsmanship cups by the team and student body of the new school. This achievement is the realization of Principal Byrne’s efforts of seven years. I turned a page and saw this— Student Council Experiment Found Universally Practical, and an account of Frederick Halladay's movement among high school groups for student government. In the next column, the name Ortino caught my eye. Without reading, I knew that Angeline was again receiving praise for her work at Geneva and European capitals as a peace ambassador of the United States. The next article stated that Louise Wiley, noted horsewoman, has returned from abroad for a short visit before beginning another tour with her black favorites, Clown and Cute. I found also that Dorathy Sanderson has resigned her position to accept the responsibilities of head of a new secretarial school at Chicago. Dorathy has mastered a new method of shorthand which she will establish as a course at her school. 55 The last article of interest announced that Miss Florence Turner and Miss Winifred Lancer, partners in a beauty salon in Syracuse had opened a shop on Fifth Avenue. A new wave, excelling the permanent in beauty and convenience, is a great drawing feature for their salons. Suddenly I thought of Willis Payne and Virginia Hadley who are among the foremost of the American track stars. Turning to the sporting section, I read an article concerning their new records in three Olympic events. Before reaching my hotel, I had a minute to glance through the advertisements. The first ad read, Use None But Bartran's Better Bandages. How like Jessie to do something practical! The next boxed ad was made attractive by cuts of little pine trees and shrubs. The text signed with Elizabeth Stenglein's signature admonished the public not to forget the spring beautification of the home. Then I happened to notice a puzzle that was unusually provocative signed with the familiar scrawl, B. Vergamini, the puzzle wizard of the age. Later at the hotel, I saw Professor Marsh, who is perfecting a universal language in collaboration with two well-known language professors, Sylvia Gustafson and Marion Thompson, who hope to have it established as a popular subject in France, England and the United States within two years. Eight o’clock found LeRoy and Mrs. Marsh, once Alice Compson of our class, as my guests at the Hamiltonian. There was Fausto Calarco, popular orchestra leader, wielding his baton with the genius of a magician. At his motion the orchestra softened to a breath, and the parting curtains disclosed a fairy land of springtime, and figures seemingly cut from an old-fashioned valentine. They were Jimmy Bell and Barnetta Blakeney whose dances and songs of another day were a dream of loveliness. The fourth act was the increasingly popular clown team, Lucille Muldoon, Ida Share, and Norma Stubley. Their twenty minute act passed as five minutes, and their generous response to encores left us all weak from laughter. As darkness settled over the house, all thoughts turned to the film, Honor and Death, in which Helga Larson and Helmar Nelson, America's love team, and Sidney Coffin, the greatest character actor since Lon Chaney, starred. Of course they were wonderful. The news reel which followed showed Jack Fyfe who has charge of a naval base in the Orient. I started up in surprise from my chair, then blinked and snatched up my pencil,—ye gods! here was a prophecy—a dream prophecy—written for me. 56 THE TIGHTWAD John Taylor ....

Musical Comedy, February 9-1 i 57 SENIOR BALL December twenty-ninth—Senior Ball night—and what a night it was! The gym, fragrant from the pine trees which banked the walls, and dimly lighted bv the multiple tiny colored lights from the trees, wore a glorified air to belie its usual work-a-day setting. The colorful crowd was the embodiment of youthful holiday spirit, and it is hoped that the photographer has caught a little of the glamor of the occasion. The music for the party was furnished by Stan Harris' orchestra from Auburn. Mr. and Mrs. Hubert Mott, Mr. and Mrs. Frank Vogel, and Miss Julia O'Brien were patrons and patronesses of the ball. Helmar Nelson, Class President, was committee chairman, and those assisting him were Sidney Coffin, Harold Leet, Fausto Calarco, Glenn Hamilton, Frederick Halladay. Jack Fyfe, Samuel Sly, James Bell, Donald Saunders, Gladys McCoy, Catherine Casey, Virginia Giusti, Dorothy Jenner, Ida Share, Margaret O’Brien, Marion Thompson, and MarieTeall, under Miss O'Brien's direction. JUNIOR ALL-SCHOOL PARTY—October 2.3 58 Back Row—Lucke, Gustafson, Thompson, O’Brien, Muldoon, Merrill Second Row—Ferguson, McCoy, Calarco, Haley Front Row—Halladay, Traver, K. Swanson SENIOR VOTES One beautiful spring day the Seniors held elections in Room 19 to choose the class celebrities. Gladys McCoy and Fausto Calarco ranked highest among their classmates in the number of titles which they received. Gladys was chosen as the girl most likely to succeed, the best executive, the one who has done the most for the Class of 1931 and the most sensible. Fausto is the most debonnaire, the liveliest and most popular boy of our group, as well as our star athlete and best all-around young man. Paul Ferguson was voted the handsomest man, and Marjorie Lucke, the prettiest girl. Marion Merrill is our liveliest and luckiest girl, while Fritz Halladay is our luckiest boy. Chase Traver was elected as the boy most likely to succeed; and Lucille Muldoon, our most popular lady. Sylvia Gustafson and Mary Haley were elected best athlete and best all-around, respectively, among our girls. Kenneth Swanson and Marion Thompson are the most pessimistic of all our Seniors. Who could be our favorite teacher but Miss O'Brien? Physical education was unanimously voted the favorite subject, thanks to our director, Mr. Baker, who makes it a pleasure as well as a physical benefit to everyone. In judging movie stars the Sweetheart of America, Janet Gaynor, was the best loved actress, and clever George Arliss, an entirely different type, the actor. The same diversity of taste was shown in literature. The American getting the first position among magazines, the Microphone, the school paper, in the newspaper field, and Shakespeare, among authors. The last choice must indicate a strong leaning toward the classics, or else a play for higher marks in English for the rest of the term. We wonder what the English Department will think of this rather paradoxical expression of opinion. Finally, the democratic Ford came into its own as the favorite automobile as it had last year. 60 Some OUR TrvteLLi St nisi A tk e e A$e Smiles etc.. Vicion Toe in tVve.
