Back Row: Frank Proctor, Robert Stephenson, George Norton tclerkl. Sauquoit Valley Central Rural School was organized to give the boys and girls of the Sauquoit Valley better opportunities for preparation for their life work. The entire purpose of the Board of Education and principal has been to organize this school with that in mind and to increase these opportunities as the demand and finan- cial condition of the district warranted. Young people must have a well rounded development in mind, body and ethics, in order to be prepared to earn a better living and to spend their leisure time in purposeful, enjoyable activity in our present age of competition and multiple activities and diversions. Your Board of Education has placed in the school five new programs and has made arrangements for a sixth educational program for the year 1935-1936. The first program to be introduced was a complete Commercial Course with the excep- tion of Shorthand. The second course was Vocational Agriculture for boys. The third course was Vocational Homemaking for girls. The fourth program was music instruction in our schools with a full time music teacher assisted by teachers from Myers Band School one-half day a week. These four courses were introduced on entering the new building in September, 1932. The fifth program was a full time Physical Education Course for all boys and girls. This program includes intramural and interscholastic athletics, corrective gymnastics, and a wide variety of games. Next fall we have added a teacher in industrial arts and drawing who will have charge of design, representation, an approved Regents course in general shop, and industrial arts for seventh and eighth grade boys. The girls will take homemaking. 3 1935 THE SIREN 1935 The new school program will be divided into a Junior High School for seventh, eighth and ninth grade students, and Senior High School for tenth, eleventh, twelfth and thirteenth grade students. Guidance will be stressed in the Junior High School program in order that the students will be able to find their place and assume their citizenship more efficiently. A new law has been passed by the state legislature which raises the age limit, from ILL years to I6 years, when a boy or girl may receive working papers. Your cooperation in having your children in school every day will insure the efficient completion of his or her grammar and high school course in twelve years, and in- crease your public money which is primarily based on attendance. This will improve and increase the growth of your school. .Iunior High School Courses Subject 7th Grade 8th Grade 9th Grade General Mathematics 5 5 SE Social Science . . , 7 5 5 lieading , . 2 M - Spelling and l'en1nansl1ip 3 - k All. .. . ,, ,. 2 2 SE Industrial Arts or Home lfconomics , 2 2 SIC Science . . , . , , . 2 2 5 Guidance . l l. - 'Elrl u s i c .,,. 2 2 5 li Physical lfclucalion 2 2 2 Language , -- - 5l'f English . , ..,... , . , , .... 5 5 5 All subjects are required with number of periods listed unless marked li for elective in 9th year.

All vocational boys and girls should elect general biology and either chemistry or physics. Chemistry is preferred for home economics. Girls entering colleges of home economics should take general biology and either chemistry or physics, algebra and geometry. Commercial students should elect home economics if girls, and agriculture, mathe- matics or science if boys. The academic diploma requires a major of three units in some field and a minor of two units in another field which may be chosen in the field that the student desires. A girl preparing for nursing should take two years of a foreign language, pref- erably Latin, and two years of home economics. Algebra or commercial arithmetic is suggested for these girls in ninth or tenth year. The algebra will probably be replaced by ninth year general mathematics. All students preparing for college in any work should consult catalogue of their choice of college for entrance requirements. College entrance students must have an average of 75 per cent, in English four years, Latin III, intermediate algebra, plain geometry and one of the following sub- jects: History C, physics, chemistry or two years of second foreign language. All five papers except geometry and intermediate algebra rnust be written within four consecutive examinations. Sixteen units required for graduation. English four years counts four units. 5 1935 THE SIREN 1935 i , fl'lE FACULTY Front Row: Miss Novak. Miss Slayton, Miss Weigel, Miss Green, Mrs. Pritcllard Skinner. Mr. Norton.

They do not-as a rule. They wrote letters to your mother When you did something bad, But some clay you'll discover Theyire the best pals that youive had. They've scolded you-of course, When you got into a fight, But did they ever bawl you out When you did something right? When we couldnit get our lessons, They were ready at our call To help us out all they could, That's why We love them all. Albert Hanson. 7 1935 THE SIREN 1935 Evolution of The Little Red Schoolhouse of Sauquoiti' Much interest has been shown in the education of the former days in Sauquoit. and the younger generation has been looking back at the pages of Sauquoit's history. Thus-the result is an account of some incidents in the gradual improvements of education in Sauquoit. At about 1867 Sauquoit was divided into districts, one of which was uThe Little Red Schoolhousef, This was a crude, low, one-room building where a lone teacher taught sixty-nine or seventy pupils their three Rs,-reading, writing and 'rithmetic, besides grammar, spelling and a little geography. This building was located where Mr. Walter Keehleis home is now situated, on the state road. When this building was discarded as a schoolhouse, it was rebuilt. An entrance was added to the front of the building. This building was moved to another location and now is the home and store of Mr. William Mathews, who also lives on the state l'fJ2lf1. lluring this time, there was also another schoolhouse. 4'The Little White School- house it was called. The studies were the same as in the other schools-the three His, grammar, spelling and geography. The children played HPom-pom, pull-a- wayf' uliitty, kitty corner,'i and uFox and the C-eesef, This building was where Mr. Arthur Crilfithis home is at present situated, on the state road on the corner of Butler lioad. Later, Sauquoit decided that a better school was needed, and a new building was constructed. This building had two rooms, and, altogether, it was a much finer school than ever before. Here two teachers presided. This was a great improvement as it gave the pupils more advantages. This school is located on the land of Mrs. Ur. liurhyte and does the duty of sheltering automobiles. The old Crand Army Hall served as another district school. This building is still standing on the road at Norwich Corners beside the M. E. Church and is used for election purposes. Nestling among shady maples beside the M. E. Church, was the grand old academy, the pride of the valley. The approximate dates of this are 'l81l-41-1905. Here basketball was brought forth as a new sport, baseball and football were im- proved. The academy was kept in order by four or five teachers under a principal. New subjects such as German, French, Latin and higher English were taught. This school was located where the parsonage of M. E. Church is at present. Mr. Rogers, our agriculture teacher, now resides there. During 1905 Sauquoit High School was built where more subjects were taught and new teachers hired. As years passed on, the schools were improved, and in 1931-1932 Sauquoit and Clayville united to form the Sauquoit Valley Central High School. This-our school-was built on the location where Asa Gray, the great botanist, once lived. Here home economics, agriculture and chemistry were taught for the first time to Sauquoit pupils, although Clayville had taught chemistry for a few years before. The course of study is under the direction of a principal and various teachers. Ping- pong, wrestling, cross-country, and intramurals were added to the sport list. My opinion is that there has been a great improvement in education since the Little Red Schoolhouse. Students of this generation do not appreciate the ad- xantages they have today. Lois Keehle.

A The Senior Tribe y In 1932 two barbaric tribes made their appearance in the towns of Sauquoit and Clayville. These two tribes were very wild and very little civilized. During the year they made rapid progress in attaining civilization. ln Sauquoit the tribe numbered 26 and made a remarkable showing in athletics. ln Clayville the tribe numbered 20 and also showed achievements in athletics and prize speaking. ln the September of 1933 the most remarkable event ever recorded in the annals of history occurred. The two tribes residing in Sauquoit and Clayville migrated to the Central Sauquoit Valley High School, and the union and assimilation of the two tribes brought forth the remarkable sophomore class. The achievements of this group soon made tlfe tribe the most known of all the tribes in this central nation. 'i he tribe now numbered 37 true and staunch members. They chose their motto. ttAt the foothills climbingf, and their tribal colors, blue and gold. Five boys and four girls won places in basketball, and in the inter-tribe contest the sophomores won the championship. Thus the sophomore year came to a close, and eagerly the tribe waited for new conquests. - 9 1935 THE SIREN 1935 1931 saw the sophomore tribe advance one step higher in the realm of civilizaf tion and enter the exalted territory of the junior class on the heights of central high. The nation numbered 32 strong and became known in the world with the publication of the Saghdaquadah Siren and the purchase of our symbols of armor, our tribe rings. Our president, Helen Kowalski, was the star player on the basketball team which won the championship of the league. ln this year the tribe claimed honors m athletics, prize speaking and track. Several financial projects were ventured to replenish the treasury, and the year ended with the tribe on the top. The once ignorant, green and uncivilized freshmen have now become serious, solemn and educated seniors about to take their places in the rank of highly cul- tured nations. Counseled by the wisdom of our class adviser, Mrs. Pritchard, and led by our president, Tom Gaffney, we have completed our senior year and are about to enter the league of classes gone before us. During this year we have staged our senior play, c'Dollars to Doughnutsf, to replenish our treasury. For accomplishing the same end we gave a dance and a bake sale. We think we have reached the summit, but in reality we are still At the Foothills Climbingf, The Class Prophecy The future of the class of l935 is here revealed and a remarkable future the fair class possesses. - ln the midst of their ranks three great league players step forth to surpass Babe lluth, the Dean brothers, or even Hal Shocmacker. Tom Gaffney, the world! greatest first baseman, William Green, the home run king, and Harry Stanimcr, the world,s star catcher. A big corporation called the l-lead-Bryant Chicken Company, will be formed by Alma and Edwin. They will so successfully conduct and improve the industry that they will supply chickens and eggs to markets all over the world. Anna Casper, Mary Komorek and Edith Brown will conduct a tea room pecially for airplane tourists. Aided by science, this tea room will float in the air and serve customers traveling in the air. Anna will be famous for her dough- nuts, Mary for her pies, and Edith for her rolls. The stage holds a future for Ralph Morgan and Jane Benbow as dancing part- ners executing some fancy and difficult steps. They will dance not only in their own famous cities, but also in London, Paris and Berlin. Robert Jones will make a name for himself by producing a rare and delicious coffee which will so far surpass every other brand that the U. S. will command the world output of coffee. lneidentally he will likewise marry a ceitain girl whose last name is Coffee. fe.-,s,M.,.-s- ,. IO -s c sri 1935 THE SIREN 1935 The U. S. has waited long for the triumph of the hour when the President of the U. S. would be a woman. ln 1950 Alice Robbins will acclaim that victory and become the first woman President of the U. S. ln that same year another remarkable QCQQS for politics will be attained. Edna Blackstone will become Governor of i . '. late. A second Edison will be found in Philip Rubel who will cut himself off from the world and, hidden in his laboratory, ferret out secrets never before revealed which will make life easier and more safe. The music world holds a future for two members of this illustrious class. Eleanor Green will become a close rival to Rubinstein or Tschaikowsky, and for the first time in the history of the world the U. S. will have a world renowned pian- ist. Also famous and often appearing with Eleanor is Glenn Bartlett who will make the drums a better known instrument. Gertrude Crowe will battle through life the side-partner of Tom Gaffney. Fol- lowing closely in the wake of his games she will keep him physically fit by her culinary successes. The medical world will boast of a genius in 1942. Salvatore Guido, then hon- ored by the title, 'GDL Guidof' will startle the world by perfecting cures for all conceivable diseases, and wonderful feats in surgery which will be little short of miracles. The transportation of mail in the future will be entirely by air and two of the most trusted pilots will be Sam DeMare and Melvin Morgan. They will both be decorated for their valorous achievements. When Helen Wells' career is ended the U. S. will not want for a tennis star. Sally Bawol will make her niche in the Hall of Fame for her accomplishments in tennis and will represent the U. S. in the Olympic games, winning and breaking all former records. Lewis Dutton and Robert Smith will form a partnership and become Very expert accountants in the employ of the U. S. government. keeping accounts of Uncle Sam's business. May Moyer will change her name to Kehoe and spend most of her time mend- ing Bill's socks. Edna Smith will change her's to Cook and each will live a happy wedded life. Hollywood will claim Bernice Smith who will make herself famous in the talkies of tomorrow. Ella Mae Towne will also find her way to Hollywood and will become a writer of the plays produced on the screens of tomorrow. The future of the class of 1935 has been revealed. and so from this scene we depart to places concealed. 11 1935 THE SIREN 193 Senior Class Poem-Life's School Apologies to Poe Once upon an evening dreary l was wrestling, weak and weary, With the class poem, sueh a problem l had never met before. A poem that all toil resisted, Though l gropingly insisted And all mental powers enlisted, As l never had of yore. But the poem, lay all dissembled, Lay there ealmly as before- Only this, and nothing morel Quite distinctly l remember, lt was on a bright September And we were sueh humble members of the freshman elass of yore, lfagerly we wished the morrow When we hoped that we might borrow Wisdom wise from those classmates Who had helped us out before, Who had loaned us their assistanee When in swampy paths before, Yes, l whispered, gflusl onee more! As l sat eaeh member eounling, All my elassmales' names repeating Tom Ualfney the president meeting. lflla lVlae, the viee president more The valedietory she is snatehing, Robert Jones will not be napping Wlhen 1-lass dues at his door eome rapping. Happing gently at his door. Oh, there's Gert, class secretary, There are no strangers at my door. They are welcome, evermore. More they come, on invitation, Sam and Harry with no hesitation They will give Ag demonstrations Which they always have in store. As for lidwinis kind assistance Helped me often in the distance, Though l half feared more resistance To my poem than heretofore. But Edna Smith and Marthais smile Cheered my troubled brow once more, For no wearied eye they bore! But at last my soul grew stronger, Hesitating then no longer, Alice. Anna. Alma and Lewis With good graees they bestow us. .I2- 1935 THE SIREN 935 But it was my one salvation That May offered her good graces And Robert Smith and William took Here I bent my head once more To get Glenn and Ralph to aid me On this poem, too they swore, Only this and nothing more. Now that line and line were falling The tomorrow looked appalling, Sally and Mary just recalling their places. How their tongues in wrath did pour. Could I face an angry Eleanor Or a calm, unmoved Salvatore With Bernice and Edith staring In my face for evermore? Philip upset me most wildly In my face forevermore In the manner I deplore. Long I sat there, madly yearning, Wherr I thought of that boy Melvin Who did many things no student Ever dared to do before. Edna, the salutation, Has won with her education, And the hour of graduation Were a memory of the yorel How I long to look back, thinking They will bother me no more--H Free from care for evermore. But the years ir1 their rotation Finished high school education, And the longed-for graduation Is a thing to come no more, But I find I now am vexing Over problems as perplexing As the one I on that evening Fought, of poetry and rhythm lore, Just as stubborn and unflexing As of poetry and rhythm lore Trouble me forevermore! Thus when school life is completed, When all lessons are repeated, And we are no longer seated In the classroom as before, Still, life's school is just before us, And its rule is quickly oier us, And we look for graduation, But ltis not till life is o'er, And our spirit from its burdens, And its lessons, as of yore, Shall be lifted, nevermore. -13, E, 1935 THE SIREN 1935 Senior Opera JANE BENBOW-S'Bridget Stay As Sweet As You Are ROBERT JONES- Woozy,' Margie MELVIN MORGAN- Sonny You're the Top THOMAS UAFFNEYf Tomniy l've- Gotta Sc-0 a Man About His Daughtcrw ELEANOR GREEN Sonny Boy' EDNA Bl.ACKSTONEi EcI Old Faithful EDNA SMITII 'I,ookiv, Lookic, Lookie, Here Comes Cookie IIERNICE SIVIITII-J'Bernic- 'LAm I Wasting My Time?

During that year, we lost a few members, and when we started our sophomore year, there were only 51 of us. This year there are 4-8 in the class. Mr. Clark has been our class adviser for the last two terms. Our class officers are as follows: Eleanor Kehoe, president, Michael Tyran, vice presidentg Marjorie Coffee, secretary, and Ella Evans, treasurer. To earn some money for increasing our treasury, we had a bake sale and two radio dances. Then, to break the monotony of having so many activities, for which the purpose was to make money, we had a class party. The juniors were well represented in athletics. Ruth Cook, Grace Moyer, Thel- ma Harrison and Ella Evans were the girls who represented the junior class in basket- ball. The boys who represented the junior class in basketball were: Kenneth Smith, Arnold Semanik, Harold Quick, Paul Yager, Michael Tyran, Lester White, Stanley Komorek, Albert Hanson, Louis Stephenson and Theodore Peck. The fol- lowing boys tried for track: Carlton Henkle, .Harold Quick, Yates Kennedy, Michael Tyran, Stanley Komorek, Louis Stephenson and Walter Baron. Kenneth Smith, Paul Yager, Albert Hanson and Lester White are playing baseball on the regular league team. ln the local prize speaking contest, Louis Stephenson won first place and Richard Jenks won third place.

Sophomore Class History Of all the discoveries made in 1933-34 in this school, that of the Sophomore Class-by no means the least-revealed a group of promising people. The first year the members of the class selected Mrs. Ludlow as class adviserg Barbara Zimmerman, president, Harold Quick, vice president, Rosabel Wadsworth, secretaryg Louis Jasek, treasurer. The class, now of forty-six members, chose Miss Novak as class adviserg Stanley Bowal, presidentg Herbert Clough, vice president, Mary Pelava, secretary, Bosabel Wadsworth, treasurer. The class breezed along under the colors of blue and white. Two of our members went out for trackg namely, Stanley Bowal and Joseph Gimmillaro. Herbert Clough became manager. Dorothy Merrit, Cornelia Sullivan and Barbara Zimmerman represented the class in the girls' basketball team. Part of the year Stanley Bowal helped Win games for the boys, team. Kenneth Harrison, Charles Smith and Norman Smith went out for baseball. Both years that they have been in school, the members of this group made an excellent showing in the annual Zimmerman Prize Speaking contest, Rosabel Wads- worth received second prize in ,34. In ,35 Barbara Zimmerman and Stanley Bowal not only won in the school contest but were awarded first prizes in the Intervalley Sectional Contest.

Freshman Class History In September, 1934, our class first entered high school. Despite many years spent in elementary school, we were as fresh and effervescent as a morn in spring. This spring-like quality may perchance have accounted for an occasional breeziness, which was undoubtedly refreshing, although somewhat chilling to those unaccus- tomed to it. We had become acclimated to school while in the grades, therefore, we had little difficulty in settling into place in high school, although conditions there were very much different. But, putting all fooling aside, our endeavor in our first year of high school has been to acquire knowledge and to gain the friendship of our fellows. How well we have succeeded in this others must sayg we surely cannot. We have had but one social affair, a Hallowe'en party. It is our hope that we have been able to cooperate with everyone, to the advantage of the school as a whole, and to that of our student friends individually. At the beginning of the first semester our class numbered sixty-two, during the second semester we welcomed several new members. We are sorry that some of our people have left us during the year. We hope that they may reconsider and return. I9 5 u 1935 THE SIREN 1935 Our class officers are: Thelma Bird, presidentg Julia Loughlin, vice president, Ifdward Crowe, secretary, Frank Peterson, treasurer. The girls who have represented our class in sports are: Emogene Dibble, Reba Ilotchkin, Marion Robinson, Nancy Kehoe and Julia Loughlin, while the boys are: Iiernard Allen, Mike Ceislak, Benny Tyran, Dewey Roberts, Ralph Briggs. Our class adviser, Miss Cassidy, has been a true friend to us during our first year in high school. We hope that she may continue to be with us throughout the years which are to come. My Sky High Riden I climbed into an airplane, iTwas bright and shiny newg I somehow got it started, And away I flew. I soared away up high 'Till all was out of view. I'm not an aviator, And r'ouIdn't run the plane, The worst of Inc-k happened Ifior it began to rain! And I wished very much To he on land again. I turned into a fancy dive, And did a figure eight, I never even stopped to sec II my hat was on straight. My own great worry was- What is to he my fate? But the rain began to ceaseg The sky began to clear. I felt that there was hope, But my head seemed queer For the plane was upside down! And, then, what do I hear? Why, it's my mother calling me! Iam lying on the floor. All the quilts are scattered, One is by the door. I hear my mother making toast, And I hear Grampa snore. It certainly was a dream, It wasnit true at all, And, as I got ready to Answer motheris call, I thought about my sky high ride, Tvhich had ended in a fall. Mary Bazzone.

John Mc- Kipley had never been in this college before. Several of his friends were attending college there. John and twoof his friends were walking through the corridors, showing John the building. John heard a loud shout of L'Fire! Fire! His friends paid no at- tention. John did likewise and continued with the investigation of the different rooms. Again John heard the same shout above the general noise of the dormitories. lfrightened greatly, John looked at his friends. They heeded not the signal nor did they notice his discomfort. The trio had not gone far when again the shout came in a much louder and more shrill tone, John was thoroughly alarmed now. Without looking at either of his companions, he rushed down the dormitory corridor, glancing neither right nor left until he had reached the safety of the great outdoors. His friends shouted after him, but in vain, for he could not answer because of his fright. Finally his friends followed and questioned John about the cause of his flight. Still terrorized, John asked if they had not heard the alarming cry. They laughed heartily and then explained that in that college such a cry meant that a woman had arrived on the campus.

'Holman City was the third settlement in the town of Paris. It is located about one mile east of Clayville. It lies in a valley which is fertile. In this valley is a small trout stream called Holman City Creek. This little settlement was originally known as Log City, but later named Holman City after the Holman family. A pioneer named Cutlet was one of the first settlers in the year of 1798. He erected a small shop where he made wooden bowls. Thev called this a dish mill. After the dish mill, a saw mill was also erected. David Holman bought the dish mill and erected a grist mill and a saw mill, and a little below that a clover mill. They also had a distillery there. Besides, they made drawshaves and hoes. William Holman also owned a grocery store. A man by the name of Mr. Tripp kept a tavern. Mr. Filkens was the mayor of Holman City. Mr. Chapman had a wagon shop. He secured the power from the trout pond. In early history they had a school. This settlement also had a blacksmith shop. Besides, there were a soap factory and a chair factory. Now almost all of these buildings are down. All thatis left of the place are a few houses and a planing mill. The roads are of dirt which are very dusty in summer. The people are farmers. It is very quiet there. No tourists ever go there, so I think of it as the 'Torgotten Land. John Evans, Eighth Grade. .

Coach Trask started a new system this year. lt was called the interchanging of triangles. Those who watched the games saw this idea work out. Starting the season with the loss of but one man, Coach Trask developed a fine team. The system, however, was new and took time to understand. This new system also brought out many different kinds of plays. Members of the team were: Allen, Bird, Captain Gaffney, M. Morgan, R. Morgan, Quick, A. Semanik, J. Semanik, Stephenson, Bawol and K. Smith. L. White was appointed manager of the team. On the second team were: Harrison, Komorek, K. Smith, Stephenson, M. Tyran, W. Green, A. Hanson, Peck and White. Bird led the boys' team in scoring with 145 points, followed by Allen with 109, and R. Morgan with 95. The team lost the first game of the year to Waterville. However, the team went on to capture 12 straight victories. Then came the crucial Middleville game which they lost by a score of 31 to 14. Sauquoit completed the rest of its schedule without a defeat, winning 18 out of 20 games played. The playoff was called at llion with Middleville, winner by a score of 23 to 12. Next year will bring forth many new faces due to graduation and loss of the post-graduates. The boys appre- ciated the advice and time that Coach Trask spent on them to bring out a successful team. 23 1935 THE SIREN 1935 Basketball Schedule TCHIH Sauquoit Valley Opponent Waterville ,,,,,, 22 23 Holland Patent ,,,,, 21 16 iljoland . . , , ,34 13 'Z'lV1iddleville . . . .19 18 Sherburne ,,,, 26 16 Alumni . . 11,, 51 12 iNewport . . , , ,21 19 Holland Patent . . .37 8 liCl18flWll'1iS .34 23 lfrankforl . .20 16 Madison . . 32 30 iiflriskany 38 6 iil'oland . .37 13 'slVli1l4lleville . .141 31 Slll'l'lllll'Il0 . . .26 13 15'Newpo1'l . . .28 144 li-Cllill1Wll'lQ!-E . 22 20 Frankfort . . 33 9 Uriskany . . .33 25 Madison . . . .22 19 1' 'ilVlicldleville . 12 23 M' Playoffs. 95 L eague games O -li.l- Athletic Banquet On May 14 the faculty of the Sauquoit Valley Central School gave a banquet for the athletes of the school.

They won three out of ten league games. The climax of the season was the xictory over Chadwicks on the Chadwicks court. The score was 27 and 23. The girls also defeated Newport and Poland. The high scorers of the season were Doris laoughlin, Ella Evans and Gertrude Crowe, each scoring 108, 74 and 68 points respectively. Doris Loughlin, Gertrude Crowe and Ruth Cook represented the school at the all-star game. We, the girls of the basketball team, realize that we have had a very efficient coach, and that he has done everything within his power to make us a good team. We wish to thank him for the great efforts he has hrought forth in coaching and training us. Intramurals, 1934-35 The intrainurals at Sauquoit this year included cross-country, wrestling, ping- pong and haskctlmall. The cross-country meet was held when the hoys were through in the league. The Juniors, with llanson coming in first, captured the meet with a low score of 20. The lfreslnnen were second with 53, Sophomores third with 57, and Seniors and post-graduates fourth with 80. The Seniors defeated the Freshmen in the finals of haskethall. This hrought to a close the haskethall season. Now we turn to wrestling matches. These were run olf the eighth periods. They consisted of quarter finals. semi-finals and finals. The hoys were given a fair chance. Each hoy signed up according to weight. Coach Trask acted as referee.

A dual meet with Waterville resulted in the followir score: Sauquoit Valley Central, 69. Waterville, 29. The team expects to compete in several more meets this spring, including the sectionals at Hamilton College. The boys appreciate the time and the work which Mr. Clark has spent on them. They hope that he will be with them another year and continue his great work. 27- 1935 THE SIREN 1935 Cross-Country of 1934-35 Coach Trask issued a call for cross-country as soon as school was really started. About thirty-five boys responded. A new course was laid out. It led from the school up into Stephensonis pasture and back to the athletic field. This was a run of nearly three miles.

Hello, 'Bright Eyesf i' he said, why do you look so troubled? Remember there is 'Happiness Ahead., U Yes, I knowfl she replied, but Fm frightened at 'The Return of the Terrorf and 'The Mighty Barnum' just said that there was a 'Death On the Diamond., 7' ls that true? said David. ln that case we must find 'The Good Fairyf W They went to Bordertown and found The Good Fairy talking to the SL Louis Kid and the Grand Old Girl. When they heard the newcomer's story, the Kid said: We have also been informed of 'The Return of the Terror' by the 'White Coekatoof The only thing that we can do is to consult 'Father Brown, Detective' He usually has good ideas and perhaps he can find 'The Perfect Clue., H They found Father Brown chatting with The Little Colonel, and the latter became very much excited. Did you know that there has been 'Murder At the Vanities? she cried. Whatl said David, after 'Our Great Expectationsf the terror has committed another murder? We thought that perhaps after the 'Death On the Diamondf he would stop. This crime must be solved for, after all, everyone has 'The Right To Live., 'The Marines Are Cominglm' cried The Million Dollar Baby. I just picked up the telephone receiver to see if there were any further developments, and T heard them tell the 'West Point of the Air' to stand by. That means that we must get busyf' said the Good Fairy, we must not let them see us puzzled or they will make fun of us. 'Money Means Nothingf but 'l'll Sell Anything' to helpf' The bell rang, and when the Grand Old Girlw opened the door, there stood Clive of India! 'The Iron Duke' sent nie to tell you that the 'Mysterious Mr. Wong' was just killed, but before he died, he confessed that he was the murderer. He loved 'The Richest Girl In the World,' but she wouldnltlmarry him because 'She Had To Choosef and she picked the 'Lottery Loverf 'Have a Heartf 7' said Mr. Wong, but she refused to have anything to do with him. All right, he said. 'Money Means Nothing, and perhaps, after all, I have 'The Winning Ticket' 7, Then he tried to win 'The Gay Divorcee' or 'Anne of Green Gables,' but they both turned him down, the first for 'Men ln Whiteg' the latter for 'The Six Day Bike Rider., This is the end,'7 cried Wong, and he had a Change of Heart and began to murder everyone. And thatf' said Clive, is the solution to all these murders. Weill said David Copperfield.
