Why does the globe deceive us or is it really Sig dictat- ing to that small group of natives. Oh well! we always thought he'd made a good dictator. The scene changes to Florida and we see Helgn Buyce riding on a serf board with a blond young man. For a minute we can't see if it is nHuskyH or NPeteH but as the crystal clears we discover that Husky must have won out. Again the globe clouds up and when it clears we see on the sunny banks of Calif- ornia Donald Kigggy, a tall strapping young man who has taken for a wife Clara Mae Simons the girl he admired so much while he was a senior in dear old Northville High. Some one else comes on the scene. Why it's Jeanne Fowler. We can hardly believe our eyes. Is that really Jeanne in the midst of a throng of natives. She has become a missionary in darkest Africa. Tskl Tskl How times have changed. A laboratory is revealed and we see a gray-haired old man hovering over some mechanical device. This man is non other than John Lindeberg working on his latest invention, a windshield wiper for his glasses. The next scene is a crowded court room where a lawyer is pleading for the life of an innocent man. It's John Dunham the world's greatest criminal lawyer. why the globe is very cloudy now. As it clears we find that our own high school is revealed. Let us see what is inside. Will you look at that. Don't tell us she's calwed down enough to be a commercial teacher bit so it is. It's Virginia Leete teaching the class of '46 all the little Uknocksn about keeping HOiled' up on business. A girl rushes into the room. why it's Dogig Wgitngy, our old school chum who is now private secretary to the principal. As we look again into the globe, we see a little light-haired school teacher teaching the children of Northville Central School their H 'readin 'ritin, and 'rithmeticu Why ive Emily differ-d. A mist comes over the globe and the scene changes. There is Betty Cggpenter--that win- der lust seems to have gotten the best of her. She's saleslady for a vacuum-cleaner company. What's this we see, a little cottage a- long the wayside? At the door stands a little red head with her husband, who is none other than our old class mate, Howgrd Barggr. Need we ask who the red head is? We again look into the globe and there is Mgggggll Robingon. He owns a small dairy farm just outside the city of Batchlerville. The scene changes to Madison Square Garden where the worlds championship of 1940 between Max Farr and Tommy Baer is being held. We hear the voice of Graham Macnamee. No, we are mistaken. As the globe brings the announcers box into view, we find Clggence Delbert gigg worlds greatest sports announcer and commentator! A moving picture theatre is revealed. We hear. coming from the stage, a voice that is strangely familiar. Stupefied, we gaze into the globe and see our childhood domeo, gg! 5. Seidl Qg.--America's newest and greatest screen lover. We see a white aproned clerk waiting on a customer. why, it's none other than Ggrgld Nillg. He is now manager of the 'Great Onionn chain store. A curly headed attendant runs out of a gas station to wait on a customer. As we look closer, we find it is gg! Burliggame. At present he has Just finished his invent- ion of an automobile that runs on air. We see in the Chrysler plant at Detroit a young man working laboriously on the plans of a new and utterately modern chrysler of '49, As he glances up, we re- cognize the familiar face of Zgke Wgayer. Sunny California is revealed. we see a cloud of dust and hear some yoddling. As the dust clears, we see a young man on horse back. We recognize him as Eggggt Tgggg t. He's making a wild west scene for the movie Nwestern Loveru. The globe clouds over. It clears! We see a large corral of stampeding cattle. A young girl dressed in riding breeches rides up on a beautiful saddle horse. why it's Anne 281522 on her ranch on the Mountain Road. Here is another member of the class of '38. The scene is in Amsterdam in a real-estate office. Why it is Lgg Ihitggg the private secretary of Floyd E. Lepper. Look, the scene is changing! We see a young girl seating herself on a log by a river bank, after a hard days work minis- tering to the physical need of the natives of India. She pulls off her shoes and stockings and dangles her dainty feet in the cool soothing water. We look more closely and recognize her. Why it's our old class mate Emgggggg Strobel. And there is Enog Mggphy on the sunny shore of NErinn. He has picked up a little colleen and they are living happily on the banks of dear old Shannon.

To the members of the Class of 1938: You are the fifth class of boys and g1T1S that have left this Central School. Fundamentally, you are similar to all classes that have gone before you. You have had the same type of training, have been taught by the same kind of teachers, you have used the same type of textbooks. You have enjoyed all the facilities that a modern school building can offer. Perhaps the four years environment of this fine building will have a material effect on you. Knowing the above, we can safely say that a few of you will make a success, and a few of you a hopeless muddle of the time allotted to you for the next thirty or forty years. The remainder of you will find a place on this earth that you can fill without any extra exertion, and you will exist. Individually, you are different from any pupil that ever attended a school. In some cases we are thankful for that. what you will be ten, fifteen, or twenty years from now, no one can safely predict. Know- inh some of your characteristics, we can almost place you in one of the above groups, although your environment and experiences of the next few years will still make an indelible impression on your character and personality. what you have done this past year, what you do today, is governed by habits that hold you in their grip. Have you in the past year given up a tough job? whether it be a math problem, a typing assignment, or a book review, that had to be in Monday morning, or did you give up a movie, a date, or put aside a hundred easier-to-do-things in order to master that particular job? It takes determination and tenacity to do that job. It will take the same kind of tools to do any Job--selling a washing machine or life insurance, getting three meals a day, day in and day out, rais- ing a family---everything that your mother and father do every day of their lives. Our civilization has been going along for about four or five thousand years, and what we have read in our history books and novels, leads us to conclude that human nature hasn't changed one iota. Naturally, there are a few rules in this game of life that we can glean from those who have travelled life's road before us who have been successful, and by successful I mean in other ways than financially. I would suggest that you read a few biographies of men and women who stand out from the millions of people who have existed in previous years. Read about Pasteur---Lineoln---Washington--- Jane Adams---Helen Keller---Florence Nightengale. I would especially recommend reading about a young man who lived in the old world about two thousand years ago, who laid the foundation of a way of life that if followed would produce a Heaven on earth. And now-the best of friends must part- I hope that you have enjoyed your part in the school's program as much as we of the faculty have enjoyed ours. Good luck and good-bye and may all good things come to those who deserve them. Sincerely, Prof. C A535 PQE The Embarkation I must check my rigging once more Before I leave this shore For some port in the distant blue. This last task I do with an unshed tear bedimming my eye. All too vainly I try To shut out those pleasant scenes of The past, scenes I love. They come back, marching, dancing, singing Joking, laughing, bringing One message, they halt my leaving, Set my soul to grieving. They ask that I leave a memory here, A little souvenir: We've had compatriots all The way, John and I, Each with his owh little yawl, Some with girls so shy-- Among whom we see our Friend, Clarence King, About whom praises shall ring Till his dying hour. In Ernie, we see not An earnest tenant, But one sowing his own plot, waving his own pennant. Enos was elected fairly As the head of our class, And he has acted squarely-- So we can't let him pass! Howard, Kinney, and Zeke Thru athletic prowess seek To wear on their name The garlands of fame. Betty, Ina, and Emily Are the pious maids, Who out of church see That piety never fades. There's Doris and Emmagene, Buyce and Leete-- Anne, of intellect so keen, who edits this sheet. And the girls have to take headache pills When they look at Gerald Mills. Ray plays trombone in the band-- And holds Grace Hayden's hand! Then there's Jean and Roy, Marshall, a little farmer boy, And Brooker, the lawyer's son-- John and Sid, whose job is done! John Satterlee John Lindeberg ASS IHIHSDTVCD Our freshman home room teachers were Miss Anne Betts and Miss Ruth Haley. We were initiated by the class of '35, a grand opening for our high school career! At the end of the school year, we enjoyed a picnic at the Forks. Our class officers were as follows: President-Willard Weaver Vice-President-Ray Seidl Secretary-Jeanne Fowler Treasurer-Helen Buyce Northern Light Reporter-Anne Parker Student Council Members-Emily Gifford -Howard Barker Our sophomore home room teacher was Mr. Bartholdi. In the fall we sponsored Doc Snyder and his Radio Rangers show. Later in the year we sponsored a dance Cmusic by Cliff Betler's orchestrab. At Christmas time we were awarded the prize for the best decorated room. Our class officers were as follows: President-Ray Seidl Vice-President-Willard Weaver Secretary A Treasurer-Emily Gifford Northern Light Reporter-Anne Parker Student Council Members-Betty Carpenter -Howard Barker In our junior year we were glad to have Mr. Bartholdi for our home room teacher a second year. We sponsored the Hi Boys. June ll, was our Junior Prom. It was quite a success with Cliff Betler's orchestra for music. We had a prize waltz and a grand march. We decided on our senior rings, after a prolonged discussion. Our class officers were as follows: President-Emily Gifford Vice-President-Betty Carpenter Secretary-Frances Gray Treasurer-Willard Weaver Northern Light Reporter-Anne Parker Student Council Members-Helen Buyce -Willard Weaver Our senior home room teacher was Mrs. Melville. Our other class advisor was Miss Gahagan. We started the year with 23 members On December 13, 1937, we had our senior play, HCome out of the Kitchenn. The characters were: Olivia Dangerfield alias Jane Ellen-Betty Carpenter: Elizabeth alias Ariminta-Virginia Leete, Paul alias Smithfield-Willard Weaver, Charles alias,Brindlebury-Marshall Robinson, Amanda-Emmagene Strobel: Randy Weeks-Gerald Mills, Sol6n'Tucker-John Satterlee: Burton Crane-Ray Seidl, Thomas Lefferts-Junior King: Mrs. Falkner-Anne Parker, and Cora Falkner- Helen Buyce. Our class officers were as follows: President-Enos Murphy Vice-President-Junior King Secretary-John Lindeberg Treasurer-Marshall Robinson Student Council Members-Betty Carpenter -John Dunham The class of '38 presented the senior play December 13, 1937. It was nCome Out of The Kitchenn by A. E. Thomas. It dealt with the Dangerfield's home life in Virgin- ia and how the children managed the home while their parents were abroad. The fam- ily was in need of money so the idea came to the children to rent the home, ppt the servants had left also. Well it happened that Burton Crane, a man from the north wanted to rent the house and wanted the servants to go with it. So the children had to assume the roll of the servants and it so happened that Mr. Crane fell in love with the cook, Jane Ellen, who was Olivia Dangerfield. Olivia Dangerfield alias Jane Ellen-- Betty Carpenter. Elizabeth Dangerfield alias Ariminta-- Virginia Leete. Mrs. Falkner-Tucker's sister--Anne Parker. Cora Falkner--Helen Buyce. Burton Crane-A man from the north--Ray Seidl. Amanda-Olivia's black mammy--Emmagene Strobel. Thomas Lefferts-Statiscal poet-Junior King. Solon Tucker-Crane's attorney and guest--John Satterlee. Paul Dangerfield alias Smithfield-- Willard Weaver. Charles Dangerfield alias Brindlebury-- Marshall Robinson. Randolph Weeks-agent for the Danger- field's--Gerald Mills. We were glad that this play was a financial success. iiitiiiii dwarfs: Doc Bashful Sneezy Sleepy Happy Grumpy wimpy Dopey Answer: wimpy From Student Life iiikttiii CHUCKLES NDo you think hair is dyed?n NI know it is notn WHow?n HI was with her when she bought itn Holite Humor-London , -:Hunt-ow: Prof: nThis book will do half of your Emmagene Strobel work for you.U Betty Carpenter Junior K. HFine, I'll take two.U Emily Gifford iiiikiiki JHUWUCCD WHS The members of the '38 junior class are a little proud of their accomplishments, and justly so, we think. The incidents that have happened--picnics, parties, money-raising projects during the last three years within our class are unforgettable to the juniors. However, we would like to remind others of the things that have entertained and impressed us. We take this way of doing it--a Junior Class 'HistoryH. We begin the history the day we proudly entered the freshman room, and we were proud although a little frightened, too. WE STILL REMEMBER! Oh yes, that Freshman class of '36 had heard and seen a great deal of Freshman initiations--painted noses, parades, scraps, etc--, and we were doomed to hear much more and see a little more. Our fears were un- founded, however, because the initiation consisted of: a Senior warning to us to wear very short dresses Cor gym clothes? and an asslmbly with recitations by the freshmen and enjoyed by all--yes, even the NFreshiesn. we Freshies were practically certain at that time, that the H1936 Freshman Initiationn should go down in history. We still are in the memory of it. In our Sophomore year there were several outstanding things: our successful money- raising Wmovien, our Nfloweryn Navy Ball, but most of all we enjoyed the NScavenger Huntn. Perhaps, some of you Hgrate your teethn just at the memory of it, but to us--nearly all of us were there--it was glorious fun. Each one could invite a friend, there were bushels of refreshments, and best of all was the wild race after pine cones, wigs, silver-colored slippers, and the like. That was more than a year ago. We built our HCastles in Spainn then, and watched them develop. Now we are Juniors--NBui1ding more castlesu. Yes, those castles are still in Spain. As Juniors, we've had the Hi-Boys in the way of money-raising entertainment, and a St. Patrick's Party in the way of money-spend- ing entertainment. And now--the Juniors are dreaming of going to the World's Fair in '39. Maybe we can build that castle too! 111111111 GIRLS GLEE CLUB The girls glee club was organized in September, under the direction of Miss Denham. The members include Jeanne Fowler, Anne Parker, Evelyn Frasier, Joyce Groff, Betty Marlett, Nona deynolds, Helen Hopkins, Eleanor Jensen, Dixie Edwards, Elizabeth Brownell, Bessie Knowles, Vivian Tange, Mary King, Rhoda Lado, and Gretchen Van Avery. One night during the Christmas season the Glee Glub sang Christmas carols, and met after at Miss Denham's for refreshments. They also took part in an assembly program, when they sang two numbers, NAbide with Men, and 'Sometime I feel like a Motherless Childn. It is hoped that there will be increasing interest in the glee club next year, so that it may develop into a larger and more active organization. Miss Denham Rays of Sunshine Behind the strong characters of the men who lead the world are stories of self- discipline. Each day lived truly is more than a day well spent: It is another stone placed in the cathedral of character we erect with the years. 111111111 How slow we are to learn that half the woes we dread do not come upon us at all. How much wiser it is to take things as we find them, making the most of the present with a view to building more wisely for the futures: In this philosophy we greet you. 111111111 Why should we not begin a new life with a song in our heart---a song as rich and full and free as the birds in summertime? For all that, no matter how meager our sub- stance, we have sufficient, and perhaps to spare, and that is all the most rich of us can have and keeps: so let us mount unto the highest reaches of thought and deed, that we may impart to others the good that has come to us 111111111 Few finer things can be done in human life than to greet the new day with hope. It is good for man that he cultivate within himself a desire to think and speak with faith. Yesterday may have been hard, but yesterday is as certainly past as in the year 1492. Today is here, and its charact- er is not yet determined. There will be shnshine or showers according to the oper- ations of laws which we may well control:: Was yesterday a disappointment? I am sorry. But this is another day. The earth has turned around since yesterday. Face the new day with gpod cheer! 111111111 The lazy and idle man does not count in the progress of this nation. 111111111 A man can fail many times, but he isn't a failure until he begins to blame somebody 6188. 111111111 Nothing ventilates the mind like a resolutin ion. 111111111 Sometimes, when things seem to be going against you, they may be coming your way. x+a+vvmmx The world is a camera- keep smiling, please. 111111111 Think fifteen minutes a day, the results will surprise you agrzeably. 111111111 The best things of life are free--sunshine, the song of birds, the air we breathe, the fragrance of flowers, the joy of help- fulness. 111111111 Never be ashamed to do right, wherever you are. 111111111 Whatever you have to do, so it with all your might. 111111111 Never putjyour hand out farther than you can draw it back again. 111111111 It is the cleanest mind that lives the longest. 111111111 SDQIPIFUQIRQJQ President--Grace Hayden Vice-President--Eleanor Lawton Secretary--Carol Heath Treasurer--Mabel Foster Student Council Members-Dora Stone -Louis Abrams Northern Light--Sadie Menta Faculty Advisor--Josephine Schuyler History of Freshman The beginning of the 1937 Freshman year we had about 40 members to start with. Jane Wally left after a few months and in her pl- ace came Vivian Pintler. She stayed with us a month and left. In October 2 more members cane. They were Emma Burton and Martha Splawnik. Our financial matters were left as they were. A few fudge sales and several booths were our only activities with the exception of a sleigh ride which brought nothing in. i In the middle of lay, Carol Heath left us and in June we lost June williams.

The school was on Division Street We spent two years there and were started on our school life under the capable supervision of Mrs. DeForest Miller and Mrs. Roy Cunning- ham.

We went down to the old Main Street in 1931 where we fourth grades. Then the new school and spend the rest of our school school on South spent third and here we hope to days. We have had many good times together on various trips we have taken such as the trip to Canajoharie in seventh grade and to Albany in eighh. On business ventures we have been quite successful. We have conducted booths on various occassions and they usually brought in a satisfactory amount. This year we have sponsored a movie that was quite a success. iiiiiiiii First row left to right as follows: L. Roosa, A. Satterlee, D. Fischer, E. Gren- nell, E. Ginter, C. Gifford, C.

W' h I cl h r- 10R'f S2-rncss HOV ws CJeop3'h'a,l ILUIRZJIRU As you are at the end of your high school education, you are called upon to make some of the most important decisions of your life. Your future depends largely upon the decisions that you make in the next few years. Some of you will, no doubt, go to college, while others of you will try to find a place for yourself in the world of business. You should not, in any sense, consider high school as the final step in your education. High School only prepares you for higher forms of learning, whether it be in the business or technical field. It enables you to use better judgement in your decisions, because it gives you more liberal views. The world hasn't much use for the so Called Hjack of all tradesn of old but specialization of the highest degree is demanded, and this can only be obtained by persuing in the annals of a higher form of education, a college, a univ- ersity, or perhaps a technical school. Either of these, has for its back-ground asound high school education, which enables you to under- stand the meaning of a highly specialized world, and propel you to the highest point possible for yourseffort. High School Ed- ucation is the threshold to your career, so build it well. Douglas Parker Seniors: 444444444 OUR APPRECIATION We, the Senior class of '38 wish to ex- press our appreciation to the faculty, board of education, principal, parents, chamber of commerce for the help they have given us during this past year. We want to thank those teachers that were substitutes for those members of the faculty that have been absent due to illness. Mrs. Harold Abrams and Mrs. Woodrow Call for Miss Gahagan, English teachers andldrs. George A. Van Arnam for Mrs. A. Melville. We hope that the class of '39 will have better luck in keeping their teachers in good health.. Seniors xsxvxxxxv ACTIVITIES OF THE FRENCH III CLASS OF 37-38 At the beginning of the year we talked of taking a trip to Montreal, Canada. To help us along our way, we decided to earn some money. At the Hollowe'en Party in the fall, we had a booth. Here we made our first few dollars. Later we sold candy and made quite a lot. Then to raise some more money we sold writing paper. If we don't raise enough money, we are going to divide it up among the class. we hope, though, by the time you read this we will have been to Montreal.

But the present time has one advantage over every other-- it is our own. Past opportunities are gone, future are not come. We may lay in a stock of pleasures as we would lay in a stock of food, but if we defer the tasting of them too long, we shall find that both are soured of age. 444444444 The less we leave to chance, the more cer- tain success will be. 444444444 The wise man keeps ambition alive with hope for tomorrow, but he makes tomorrow's hope more promising by work done today. 444444444 Take time to work--it is the price of succms lake time to think--it is the sourse of power.

Mr. william Scott, our coach and biology teacher had the misfortune to injure his arm playing baseball. This injury delayed the gym classes from getting an early start, but in a week's time things were running smoothly again until after the new year. Miss D. Gahagan, our English teacher, was stricken suddenly by an appendex attack while visiting here and was removed to the hospital for an operation. A few days later Prof had the misfortune to smash Scott's car while on the way to see Miss Gahagan CProfs car being on the Newcomb basketball tripi. The school was closed early for Easter Vac- ation because of the scarlet fever epidemic. Mrs. Melville, our home room teacher, also missed some school on account of her sickness. After the Easter vacation, we learned that Miss Gahagan had not recovered as soon as it was expected and would not be with us for several weeks. This article was written May ll, 1938, and I hope we can finish the year without any more misfortune. Howard Barker IOHFKQUOKIOHIHKIOI CAFETERIA NOTES Just a word from the Cafeteria lest the passing Seniors, one especially, for- get busy happy hours spent in a very pleas- ant occupation. The crazy minutes of haggling for lower prices, biggest pieces of cake and hottest hot dishes that make of the peaceful kitchen a bedlam of noises are not to be passed over quickly. They soon graduate into more contented tones as the food is consumed by those people whose hunger made wolves of them for a short time. Few of you stop to think of the time and labor that has been spent during the morning in the preparation of food that takes so little time to disappear. There are ten people who contribute to this cause---two for sandwiches--three for serving students--one for serving faculty and the rest do the dishes and sweep.. One of this year's Seniors has worked during study periods and noon hours for all four years of her high school life. She has grown up with our cafeteria and may some day manage one of her own. I wonder how we will get along next year without Ina. The Faculty must train a new waitress to serve them--to carry the tea-kettle back and forth, and to wash their dishes. We wonder what new faces will appear on both sides of our counter next year, and we look forward to bigger and better bus- iness in the future. Hilda Hufnail ' EREFTA May 4, 1938. Yes, that sure was Egg night. Nothing less than Gilbert and Sull- ivan's NMikadon,was being presented at N. H. S. under the very able direction of Miss Margaret Denham. First we'll go backstage and see what's going on. Why, who can that be? It looks like someone I've seen before, but with that wig and makeup! Do you suppose they import- ed this Japanese beauty to take the lead? ---Finally, someone, seeing the puzzled ex- pression on my face came to the rescue. Oh yes, now I recognize her. Well Grace, we only hope you act as well as you look. land taking the part of Yum Yum, she proved tol nAnd who is your leading man?H I asked her. Sure enough, that is Ray over there. Even though you aren't recognizable, Ray, you sure did your stuff as Nanki-Poo. Goodness, after these surprises I was ready for anything--so in order of their appearance I was introduced to therest of the cast. First came none other than our own Doug, taking the part of Pish-Tush. You did yourself justice to, Doug. Then came Ko Ko-Lord High Executioner. With Freddie taking this role we had some acknowledged acting. Next came Sonny. He is nacting upn again, in the role of Pooh-Bah, Lord High Everything Else. Next we are introduced to Yum Yum's two sisters Peep-Bo and Pitti-Sing. Emma Jean Murphy and Mary Meter took these parts, ing did nobly and justly toward our leading a y. And last of all come the great Mikado and his daughter-in-law elect. These turned out to be none others than our own Hank Blowers and Carol Heath. You both did your part in making the operetta a perfect success Now I am told that this is all the lead but over there in the corners are the boys and girls choruses. The girls chorus consisted of: Velma Young Bessie Knowles Elizabeth Brownell Dorothy Fischer Betty Grennell Jeanette Torrey Rhoda Lado Ethel Sweet Nona Reynolds Martha Bradt The coolies were: Carl Gifford Roy Pearsall Ernest Gifford Gerald Buyce Clark Palmateer Hugh Frasier Leonard Murphy Donald Groff Donald Krahmer Milton Groff Arnold Whitman Actually, you wouldn't even recognize ghese young people as those you see each ay. I guess the thanks here goes to Miss Louise Durfee and her sewing classes for costumes, and to Mrs Melville, Mrs. Smith, and Mrs. Lindsey for their ability in making us look like beautiful Japanese people.

Well, it's a long, long story--- Back in the dear old days almost beyond recall, Mrs. Lindsey had a very industrious class, in fact, they were so industrious, that she had a hard time keeping them out of mischief! However, that class way back in '29 did accomplish one thing for which they shall always be remembered. They organized, with the help of their teacher, the first orchestra of N. H. S. It all came about when they were making plans for their Eighth Grade Commencement, and their teacher suggested that they organ- ize an orchestra as an interesting feature of the evening. This idea seemed to suit her industrious class to a BTW so they launched out to build an orchestra out of a few 'music boxesn of every description. Clare Ellen Roberts was already quite an accomplished pianist, so that she became more or less the nbackbone of the orchestran Martha and Lucia Meter and Bob Williams had previously done solo work on several occas- ions, and some of the others seemed to have a musical ability, so all those who could beg or borrow musical instruments that would work, got them and practiced. And how they did practice! Many hours were spent struggl- ing to master the various instruments. Mrs. Lindsey was ably assisted by the late Miss Frances Kingsley in preparation for the big event. Commencement evening found the following courageous students in the norchestra pitn, the girls in white and the boys in white trou sers and blue coats: So the P.T.A. under the enthusiastic direction of Mrs. E. C. Roberts, shouldered the responsibility of hiring an orchestra and band director one evening a week for the school year '29-30. They also raised 3200. SU' for musical instruments for the school. Twenty-three promising students enrolled under the competent director, Mr. D. T. Warner of Amsterdam, and soon that ambit- ious little orchestra was progressing by leaps and bounds. when Mr. Warner's health failed in January, it looked as if the orchestra would be left stranded but Prof. Leland S. Braves of Gloversville High, took pity on Northville's would be musicians and his services were secured for the balance of the year. Among those in the orchestra that year were: Clare Ellen Roberts, piano, Martha Meter, Lucia Meter, Lisa Sparling, violins, Lewis Lawton, nobert williams, Jews Harps, Linda Sweet, xylophone, Mar- garet Lindsey, mandolin, Vivian Weaver, banjo-ukelele. The first pieces they played were Nwedding Bells are Breaking up that Old Gang of Mineu, and NCaroling Moonn. These popular songs made quite a hit, and the next fall, they were asked to play in the Star Theater for 'RedskinH, a silent movie. when the Northville people saw their performance, they were amazed at Northville musical talent, and wanted music taught in the school. So Mr. Warner, from Amsterdam was hired for a year. Gradually more and more students became interested so that at the end of that year, the orchestra was made up of 23 members which included: Linda Sweet, Lucia Meter, Irene Fowler, Vivian Weaver, Ruth Johnson, Martha Van Arnam, Florence Bradt and Vera Blann- Violins, Martha Meter-cello, Emmogene Lawton, Priscilla Conklin, Woodrow La Rowe- saxaphones, Max Fowler, Ina Young-Clari- nets, Robert Williams, Warren Meter-trumpet Albert Strobel, William Blann-trombones, S- arah Mosher, Margaret Lindsey-flutes, CD iii?

He in the mean- time falls in love with Yum Yum and wants to marry her. Finally, after much trouble over who shall be executed and who shall not, who is really who, things end up perfectly with Yum Yum and Nanki Poo, and also with Katisha and Ko Ko.
